Jesse Watters: Primetime at Primetime

Joe on stage, his message, his presence, his policy from NATO to the G7. Has he helped himself? Has he helped the country?

You make the call, or better yet, let's let Jesse Waters make the call. His show Prime Time is moving to prime time, eight o'clock, and I think that he's adjusting his schedule now, picking out much nicer suits, new socks I imagine, maybe even nicer shoes for full body shots. Jesse, are you excited about next Monday? I did get a pair of new shoes but I already don't like them.

Already? Why, because they don't feel good or they don't look good? So most loafers have these little rubber soles on the toe so you don't slip when you push off because I like to run the set and this has nothing, so I'm ice skating around. You know that's the exact, that's my theory with with Trump coming down in the rain after speaking at West Point.

If you have those leather soles with your brand new shoes, you, you know, you skate. So this guy's 70 something years old, they thought that he had a problem. They're like, what's wrong with Trump? Is he, you know, is he losing it?

Man, little did we know what we'd be doing for the next two years. We're watching a President of the United States shuffle everywhere. Well not only is he shuffling, he's laying out on the beach trying. Mr. Kilmeade, if you were the President of the United States, would you ever, in a million years, want the entire world to see you laying on the beach with your eyes closed?

Not in a million years, and if I had a Chief of Staff worth a penny, they would say, Mr. President, you got 500 cameras here. Go, go body surfing. Exactly. You know, play, play beach volleyball. Do anything.

Cornhole. Just lay there with your eyes closed and your skin glistening, and then have trouble carrying a beach chair which weighs seven pounds back to the house. We want to see you relax, but not that relaxed.

You know, there's a couple of things. He also shows me his staff is scared of him, and that story has to be 100% true, that no one will go see him alone because he always erupts in anger. So you can almost see them saying, Jesse, who's going to tell the President? Really, he's 80.

He is white as a ghost, and you go to the beach with 100 cameras. And they probably just said, no, it's not worth it. It's not worth getting blasted. Well, because if you notice Joe Biden, he only snaps when you challenge him personally. He doesn't get angry about the border, the crime wave, inflation. It's only when you mention, oh, wait, are you talking to Hunter about business? Do you actually have seven grandchildren?

If you challenge his integrity, he calls you a stupid son of a bitch. Right. But I understand that. I used to work for someone who used to yell.

I don't remember. And he could, he could be very intimidating. Scary.

But you know, for the good of the country, you got to, you got to step it up. So, Jesse, what are your thoughts about going to eight? I'm nervous about dinner, Brian.

What do you mean? So right now I come in at 3.45, I have a salad. I have the same lunch every day.

Salad. And then I do my show. It's over at eight. It takes me an hour to get home.

I get back. I eat at nine o'clock. Now I'm leaving at nine o'clock. I get home at 10 o'clock. I can't eat at 10 o'clock.

What am I going to have to do? I might have to eat two meals at my desk with Johnny. So that's the only thing you're nervous about. I have to eat two meals with Johnny, my assistant. And that is going to hurt your personal life? Or you get to know Johnny too well? Are you saying that I might risk my marriage and run away with Johnny? I'm not saying that's not out of the question.

So, thanks, Brian. No, that's the biggest change to my schedule. So you think it's going to be the same show at eight, Jesse? You think it's going to be the same show at eight?

Because it's unbelievably successful at seven. You feel as though you could just take, is there anything you were going to do? Are you going to have a band? No, we're not going to have a band. The only thing we're going to do different, we're going to do a little more enterprise reporting. We're going to be sending more people out into the field all over the country. I think you've seen some of these, you know how Pete Buttigieg spent $17 million to build an anti-racist hiking trail? And you go to these places and they say, well, Joe Biden's giving you $17 million. And everyone says, yeah. And then you say, but it's for a hiking trail.

And people say, get the hell out of here. What? It's the last thing. So we'll be doing that. We'll be doing ambushes.

We'll be doing some undercover work, some investigations. Everything else is still going to be the same because I'm incapable of changing. And you shouldn't, because you had success. You had the same studio. You just move up a little bit.

You have two meals with Johnny. Have you thought, Jesse, put in perspective that you were in the tape room and then you were the segment producer, you're out doing some interviews for the eight o'clock show, and now you're hosting it? Did you project this trajectory?

Because you've earned every step of the way, you've earned it. But was this always the goal? If I went up to your mirror in the bathroom, would that be the little sticky pad in the corner? You're not allowed in my bathroom. Anymore.

Anymore after the incident. If I tell you that I've wanted to do the eight o'clock since I was 23, I sound like a maniac. But if I tell you the thought never crossed my head, you'd call me a liar. But what I've tried to do is just take it a day at a time. And I always tell myself, whatever happens, happens. If they want to put me in a different position, thank you for the opportunity. I'm incredibly grateful. But this wasn't some well thought out plan that I've been stewing over since my early 20s. This is just an incredible story from the basement to eight.

And I've had great producers, great co-hosts. I'm thrilled. Honor. Now, will you have a bigger chip on your shoulder on the five or will it remain the same? I think I'm going to be a little more arrogant. Is that possible? Touché.

Anything's possible. So I love the way you start the show with the movie clips and set a tone. Last night you were rolling clips I never heard before of Hunter Biden and who exactly he is and what he got away with leading to these, while doing international business deals with the stakes could not be higher and evidently earning money, according to his text, for his entire family. I want you to hear Hunter Biden.

Did you played last night on Podsave America, which are these former Obama guys who have this podcast? This is April of 2021. Cut 19. The money you made through your your clients that enabled that addiction and also maybe the ways that protected you from consequences that might have landed a lot of other people in jail. I think it's completely unfair. And I think that I am 100 percent the still here today and not in a jail cell or in an institution because of my privilege and not just the privilege of a family that loved me, but the privilege of the fact that, you know, I had been very successful. Successful. That's interesting. So he's but he not admitting quite that it's the family that got him out and expunged his record.

So he's confessing that he has Biden privilege and he should be in jail if he wasn't a Biden. That's what we've all been saying for the last three years. Now, I may say something right now that might be wrong or unpopular because I don't know a lot about addiction. I don't have an addictive personality. But Hunter's addiction seems a little different.

Hunter just seems like he's partying. I agree. You have willpower, Brian. Addicts get clean addicts with the most extreme addictions to hardcore narcotics do get clean through willpower.

Through discipline. He does not have the willpower, the discipline, and he's never faced the consequences. And when you face the consequences, sometimes you clean up your act. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom. Sometimes you do have to go to jail.

Sometimes your daddy doesn't bail you out and you have to turn your life around. He's never had to do that. And his life's been one big party, one big grab bag overseas for the family. And it makes me angry that he's allowed to get away with it. And he admits the reason why he gets away with it. And no one else in the country can get away with it. And it's just not fair. And the American people know it's not fair.

And that's what's driving everybody crazy. And this is the cut that chose the party in Cut 20. The Roosevelt Hotel is right across the street from us. This is where you had, would you call it a bender? I was at every hotel in Los Angeles, basically. You'd hole up there. Every motel, every hotel until they wouldn't have a room for me the next day. One of the stories was you went just down the block from us, the Sunset La Brea, and you looked for some guys who might be able to get you something.

And then you wound up getting it and using crack with them. So, I mean, he's exploring this, saying this, and that plays into your theory on the partying. When people usually start off partying, they get addicted and they go off on their own and they end up on Skid Row. This guy was going to bigger parties. What was the cover of the New York Post last week, 200 miles an hour across the desert to go to Las Vegas to meet with a bunch of hookers in a bathtub? That sounds like a hangover sequel.

He's a manchild and he's never grown up because his father wouldn't let him grow up because his father is not a great parent. Let's just call it like it is. And it's not crazy to ask whether Hunter had the Coke in the White House. Why would that be crazy? It's not crazy to ask maybe if Ashley Biden had the Coke in the White House. She's had Coke problems.

They've both been in rehab. So to say that we're not allowed to talk about it or draw conclusions tells me there's a good chance it was one of their bags or maybe it was one of their friends' bags. But the fact that they're stonewalling this, we had a guy on last night, Brian, who said they probably figured out who this was within the first day. Camera's everywhere. They fingerprinted it. What are they hiding? If it was a construction worker, then that guy would already be in handcuffs.

But since they haven't told us anything, I'm thinking it might be involved with someone in the family. The one thing Ari Fleischer said, no cameras. He said the big thing that people are getting wrong, there are no cameras there. There are entrance cameras to every single door. There may not be cameras showing hallways or passageways, but there's cameras all over the White House outside.

You know who comes in, when they come in, who they come in with, how they come in. And so to not show us the logs, to not show us the entry cameras, it's a coverup. And now the FBI is involved. And what does that tell you? It's definitely a coverup.

So I'm going to give you a scenario. Don Jr., President Trump is there. Don Jr. and Eric came to visit. They were working in the private sector. Ivanka came by with Jared at one point, and they find cocaine in a cubbyhole by the situation room.

How big a story is this? They would still be leading the news a week later. And they thought Don Jr. is on Coke now. Don hasn't had a drink in like 20 years. The Trump family are the most straight as arrow family you will ever meet. They don't drink. They don't party. They have one thing they don't do. They're not allowed.

They get disowned in two seconds. Right, right, right. So they had a trans flasher at the Biden White House. There's cocaine at the Biden White House.

This was supposed to be the adult in the room. So Jesse, you're going to be in the same studio. Is it going to be air conditioned at eight like it was at seven, the same Freon?

You're using everything is going to be the same? Yeah, so you guys are going to sweat because we're going to use all the Freon. By the time you guys come on, it's probably going to be like a sauna. So let me ask some, will you be forced to hang out with Sean and Laura since you're all prime time in the same in Gutfeld?

Will you guys be like almost a pack? Will you be the brat pack of this generation? Well, my mother won't let me hang out with Gutfeld. You know that like one kid in grade school your parents wouldn't let you hang out with? That's Gutfeld.

And it served me well. So have Sean, I'd love to hang out with. I love hanging out with Sean. He's like the nicest guy ever. And Laura, I don't get to see a lot because she's in DC, but we're the new rat pack.

I'm sure I'm sure it'll change. And Jesse, have you heard from Bill? Yeah, I've spoken to him a couple times. He gives me great advice.

I can't share it, but it's hilarious and it's honest and it's true. And is he happy for you? He's very happy for me. He's not a happy guy in general. I mean, he's not happy, you know, Bill, but I think he's happy for me if you consider Bill capable of happiness. Right. Actually, the last time I saw Bill, it was the happiest I've ever seen him. And he's always got great insight and everyone goes to him for advice. Jesse Waters, congratulations. Well earned. And I want to talk to you Saturday night on One Nation. Is that possible? Yeah, I'll see you then.
