Pete Hegseth: Kamala Harris couldn't answer the easiest question

[ ♪♪♪ ] >> Jesse: WELCOME TO A SPECIAL EDITION OF "JESSE WATTERS PRIMETIME." I'M PETE HECKSETH IN FOR JESSE ON FRIDAY NIGHT. WELL, THE GRADES ARE IN AND KAMALA HARRIS LAST NIGHT FLUNKED HER EXAM. >> DID YOU SEE HER ON TELEVISION LAST NIGHT? [ Crowd boos ] THIS IS GOING TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF OUR COUNTRY? I DON'T THINK SO. AND IT'S THE FIRST INTERVIEW SHE'S DONE IN LIKE -- NOBODY'S EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE ABOUT AND IF YOU'RE TOO WEAK TO DO A ONE-ON-ONE WERP INTERVIEW WITH A PERSON THAT WAS SO SOFT -- YOU KNOW, I KNOW DANA. SHE'S ALWAYS, YOU KNOW -- ALWAYS NASTY. >> IT WAS A VERY WEAK INTERVIEW FROM THE STANDPOINT OF CNN. I THINK CNN SHOULD BE ASHAMED WITH THEMSELVES. >> JUST LIKE JOE WITH THE DEBATE, THE COUNTRY WATCHED THE KAMALA HARRIS BUBBLE POP IN REAL TIME LAST NIGHT. AS TRUMP MENTIONED IT WASN'T BECAUSE CNN's DANA BASHT ASKED ANY HARD HITTING QUESTIONS. SHE DID NOT. KAMALA PROVED SHE'S NOT OBAMA AND SHE'S NOT EVEN BIDEN. SHE'S WORSE. WHAT WE'RE ABOUT TO SHOW YOU -- HIDE THE KIDS -- WILL SHOCK YOU. NOT ONLY DID SHE NOT LOOK PRESIDENTIAL HUNCHED OVER LIKE A BREAK-ROOM TABLE? SQUISHED IN BETWEEN DANA BASH AND TAMPON TIM? KAMALA SPENT A WHOLE MONTH PREPARING FOR ONE INTERVIEW AND SHE COULDN'T ANSWER THE EASIEST QUESTION A REPORTER COULD EVER -- THEY HAD TO HAVE PRACTICED FOR THIS TEN TIMES. OK, KAMALA, WE'RE DOING THIS AGAIN. THIS QUESTION'S DEFINITELY COMING. YOU WANT TO BE PRESIDENT, HERE'S THE QUESTION. >> IF YOU ARE ELECTED, WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON DAY ONE IN THE WHITE HOUSE? >> WELL, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS. I WILL TELL YOU FIRST AND FOREMOST ONE OF MY HIGHEST PRIORITIES IS TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO SUPPORT AND STRENGTHEN THE MIDDLE CLASS. I THINK, SADLY, IN THE LAST DECADE, WE HAVE HAD IN THE FORMER PRESIDENT SOMEONE WHO HAS REALLY BEEN PUSHING AN AGENDA AND AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS ABOUT DIMINISHING THE CHARACTER AND THE STRENGTH OF WHO WE ARE AS AMERICANS, REALLY DIVIDING OUR NATION, AND I THINK PEOPLE ARE READY TO TURN THE PAGE ON THAT. >> SO WHAT WOULD YOU DO DAY ONE? >> DAY ONE? IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT, ONE, IMPLEMENTING MY PLAN FOR WHAT I CALL AN OPPORTUNITY ECONOMY. >> Pete: DAY ONE WE'RE GOING TO IMPLEMENT MY PLAN. WHAT IS YOUR PLAN? I'LL TELL YOU LATER. PASS IT SO YOU CAN FIND OUT WHAT IT IS. I'VE HEARD THAT BEFORE. CNN HAD TO ASK KAMALA WHAT HER VISION WAS TWICE. AND THEY STILL DIDN'T GET AN ANSWER. DIDN'T DEMOCRATS JUST SPEND A MONTH TELLING US KAMALA IS THE CANDIDATE OF OF HOPE AND OPTIMISM AND CHANGE? >> TO BRING AMERICA WHAT I BELIEVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE, WHICH IS A NEW WAY FORWARD AND TURN THE PAGE ON THE LAST DECADE OF WHAT I BELIEVE HAS BEEN CONTRARY TO WHERE THE SPIRIT OF OUR COUNTRY REALLY LIES. >> THE LAST DECADE, OF COURSE THE LAST THREE AND A HALF YEARS HAS BEEN PART OF YOUR ADMINISTRATION. >> I'M TALKING ABOUT AN ERA THAT STARTED ABOUT A DECADE AGO. >> Pete: EXCUSE ME. I PREFER NOT TO INTERRUPT, BUT YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR THE LAST THREE, THREE AND A HALF YEARS, RIGHT? THEY PRETEND LIKE THE LAST FOUR YEARS OF HARRIS BIDEN NEVER HAPPENED. DANA COULD BARELY GET THE WORDS OUT OF HER MOUTH MUCH IT'S THE EASIEST FOLLOW-UP OF ALL TIME BUT SHE'S SO IN THE TANK SHE COULDN'T. KAMALA WANTS YOU TO FORGET THAT HER FINGERPRINTS WERE ALL OVER -- REMEMBER THIS? -- THE BIGGEST COVER-UP IN WASHINGTON HISTORY. >> YOU INSISTED THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN IS EXTRAORDINARILY STRONG. GIVEN WHERE WE ARE NOW, DO YOU HAVE ANY REGRETS ABOUT WHAT YOU TOLD THE AMERICAN PEOPLE? >> NO, NOT AT ALL. NOT AT ALL. I HAVE SERVED WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR ALMOST FOUR YEARS NOW AND I'LL TELL YOU IT'S ONE OF THE GREATEST HONORS OF MY CAREER, TRULY. >> Pete: I TOLD YOU TO HIDE THE KIDS. HARD TO WATCH. BODY LANGUAGE EXPERTS TOLD THE DAILY MAIL WHEN BIDEN'S NAME WAS BROUGHT UP, QUOTE, THERE WAS A LOCK OF WHAT COULD BE FEAR IN HER EYE EXPRESSION AND HER BROWS PUCKER AS SHE EVEN REARRANGES HER SHOULDERS AS THOUGH GOING THROUGH BATTLE. THAT WAS "THE DAILY MAIL". HARRIS LOOKED UNCOMFORTABLE. YOU WATCHED IT. THE WHOLE INTERVIEW. MAYBE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH HER CHAPERONE, COACH TIM, TOWERING OVER -- YOU KNOW YOU WANT YOUR COACH HELPING YOU BUT NOT RIGHT THERE. OR MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE SHE WAS TRYING TO BE SOMETHING THAT SHE'S NOT. I MEAN I'D BE NERVOUS, TOO, IF I WAS THE BORDER CZAR AND LET IN 10 MILLION PEOPLE ON MY WATCH. >> JUST ONE OTHER QUESTION ABOUT SOMETHING THAT YOU SAID IN 2019, WHEN YOU FIRST RAN. THERE WAS A DEBATE. YOU RAISED YOUR HAND WHEN ASKED WHETHER OR NOT THE BORDER SHOULD DECRIMINALIZED. DO YOU STILL BELIEVE THAT? >> I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE CONSEQUENCE. WE HAVE LAWS THAT HAVE TO BE FOLLOWED AND ENFORCED, THAT ADDRESS AND DEAL WITH PEOPLE WHO CROSS OUR BORDER ILLEGALLY, AND THERE SHOULD BE CONSEQUENCE. >> Pete: MM-HMM. MORE THAN 10 MILLION PEOPLE. SHE KNOWS IT. THE HARRIS BIDEN WHITE HOUSE SOLD THE BORDER FOR SCRAP AND OPENED IT TO ILLEGALS. NOW KAMALA BELIEVES IN CONSEQUENCES? AND MAYBE SHE'S NOT MAGALA HARRIS? OR IS IT MA-GALA. PRONUNCIATION IS IMPORTANT. POORLY REHEARSED, VISIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE AND SHE LIED THROUGH HER TEETH AND DANA BASH DIDN'T STOP HER. SHE ALLOWED HER TO DO JUST THAT. THE ONLY TIME KAMALA TOLD THE TRUTH WAS WHEN SHE ADMITTED, AH; HASN'T CHANGED. >> DO YOU STILL WANT TO BAN FRACKING? >> NO, AND I MADE THAT CLEAR ON THE DEBATE STAGE IN 2020, THAT I WOULD NOT BAN FRACKING AS VICE PRESIDENT, I DID NOT BAN FRACKING. AS PRESIDENT, I WILL NOT BAN FRACKING. >> WHAT MADE YOU CHANGE THAT POSITION AT THE TIME? >> WELL, LET'S BE CLEAR. MY VALUES HAVE NOT CHANGED. >> HOW SHOULD VOTERS LOOK AT SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT YOU'VE MADE? SHOULD THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING NOW IS GOING TO BE YOUR POLICY MOVING FORWARD? >> DANA, I THINK THE -- THE MOST IMPORTANT AND MOST SIGNIFICANT ASPECT OF MY POLICY PERSPECTIVE AND DECISIONS IS MY VALUES HAVE NOT CHANGED. >> Pete: HAVE NOT CHANGED. ANY TIME -- TAKE THIS TO THE BANK. ANY TIME SHE SAYS FOR THE REST OF THIS CAMPAIGN "LET ME BE CLEAR" SHE'S ABOUT TO SAY SOMETHING THAT'S NOT CLEAR AT ALL OR CONTRADICTS SOMETHING SHE STOOD FOR BEFORE. YOU SEE, THIS INTERVIEW WAS NOT ABOUT GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF WHAT HARRIS ACTUALLY BELIEVES. THE MEDIA KNOWS WHAT YOU AND I KNOW, THAT SHE'S A CALIFORNIA SOCIALIST AND THAT'S PUTTING IT KINDLY. THIS WAS ABOUT TESTING KAMALA. CAN SHE HANDLE PRIME TIME? COULD SHE SPIN HER WAY OUT OF JUST A SOFT BALL? IT TURNS OUT SHE CAN'T DO IT. CNN's OWN FACT CHECKERS CAME OUT LAST NIGHT AND GAVE HER A FLUNKING GRADE. >> THE FACT-CHECK BOTTOM LINE, ABBEY, IS THAT SHE DID NOT ACTUALLY MAKE CLEAR OUT OF 2020 DEBATE. I WENT OVER THE CRYPT OF THAT DEBATE TONIGHT. NOWHERE IN THERE DOES SHE MAKE CLEAR THAT SHE HAD ABANDONED HER PREVIOUS SUPPORT FOR A FRACKING BAN. >> Pete: AND THE MEDIA THINKS SHE EVEN JUST MISSED THE END ZONE. >> I THINK SHE MOVED THE BALL FORWARD A LITTLE BIT, YOU KNOW. MAYBE SHE DIDN'T SCORE A TOUCHDOWN TONIGHT. >> I DON'T THINK SHE MOVED THE BALL THAT MUCH FORWARD. >> I THINK WE SAW WHY IT TOOK HER 35 DAYS TO DO AN INTERVIEW. SHE WAS MUSHY. SHE WAS WEAK. IT FELT CONTRIVED THE WHOLE WAY. >> SHE OFFERED NO REMORSE, NO REGRETS, NO INTROSPECTION ABOUT ANYTHING THEY'VE DONE. SHE'S TRYING TO SKIP A BLOCK OF TIME. >> Pete: ANYONE LOOKING FOR INSPIRATION LAST NIGHT OF COURSE LEFT DISAPPOINTED. WHILE YOU WERE LEFT VINDICATED. KAMALA SOUNDED LIKE THE KAMALA WE'VE KNOWN ALL ALONG, A SHAM. >> I FIND A LOT OF HER TRAJECTORY TO NOT BE MY GRAND OF WOMAN, LEADER. WE'VE GOT THREE MAJOR INTERNATIONAL CRISES GOING ON AND SOMEONE APPLYING TO BE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. AS A WOMAN, I WANT TO SEE YOU DO MORE THAN, YOU KNOW, APPEAL TO GIGGLING AND HAVING A GIRL MOMENT ON THE STAGE. >> Pete: LAST NIGHT, KAMALA HARRIS TRIED TO RUN OUT THE CLOCK. SHE STALLED AND FILLED TIME WITH POORLY MEMORIZED LINE AFTER POORLY MEMORIZED LINE AND THEN SHE STILL FUMBLED THE BALL AT HER OWN 1-YARD LINE EVEN THOUGH DANA BASH HANDED IT TO HER ON A SILVER PLATTER RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HER SUPER BOWL. OPERATION HIDE HARRIS FAILED BECAUSE, AS SOON AS KAMALA STEPPED FOOT IN FRONT OF A CAMERA FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH THE BRIGHT LIGHTS, THE WHOLE COUNTRY'S WATCHING -- SHE WAS FORCED TO ANSWER FOR HER FLIP-FLOP MISTAKES AND SCANDALS ALL IN A SHORT INTERVIEW AND SHE COULDN'T DO IT. THE INTERVIEW WAS LESS THAN 30 MINUTES. THAT'S HALF OF THIS SHOW. THAT'S ONE EIGHTH OF FOX AND FRIENDS WEEKEND. IT'S NOTHING. IT'S EASY. CNN TRIED EVERY WAY THEY COULD TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE, ALTHOUGH WHOEVER PUT HIM IN THAT BREAK ROOM SHOULD BE FIRED. WHO PICKED THAT SET. WHAT DID KAMALA DO? SHE HANDED THE BALL RIGHT BACK TO TEAM TRUMP MUCH THAT'S CALLED A BAD CANDIDATE AND IT'S CALLED BAD DECISION MAKING. AND IF KAMALA HARRIS CAN'T EVEN PERFORM IN A BASIC INTERVIEW, A REALLY EASY ONE, HOW IS SHE GOING TO RUN THE COUNTRY? HOPEFULLY AFTER LAST
