[laughter] [drum roll] jesse: for years, the late night stopover has been a presidential staple. republican, democrat, doesn t matter. because comedy is bipartisan where it s supposed to be: you can jimmy fallon play a round with trump on one show and slow jamming the news with barack obama on the other. there will be no third term. i can t stay forever. besides, daddy has got a hawaiian vacation booked in about 232 days. but who is counting? if comedy isn t your thing, don t worry. we have a couple of presidents who know how to drop a wicked baseline. it wasn t just the smooth stylings of slick willie or richard nixon that made these presidential cameos part of tv history. it was the fact that they made themselves the butt of the joke. oh no, i don t think we could get dick nixon to stand still for a sock it to me. sock it to me? jesse: nixon isn t the only one with a sense of humor. george bush had a good laugh when giving us the top ten things he wanted
to the hearing as well. and then shannon bream will anchor a two hour special edition of fox news at 11:00 p.m. martha and i will be joining shannon. that s another graphic of us all together for news and analysis recapping reaction to the hearing. tomorrow on special report, the release of new inflation data, what it means to the economy. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight, that is it for special report, fair, balanced and unafraid. jesse watters is now. hey, jesse. jesse: i am now. thank you, bret. jesse: the president is supposed to be a man of the people. so every once in a while the leader of the free world or a candidate for the office, drops by a late night tv show just to remind us hey, i m a regular guy. they schmooze it up with a comedian, crack a few jokes, enjoy a good roast and even let their hair down a little. can i mess your hair up? go ahead.
i think you are exactly right, jesse. i tweeted about this a little bit earlier. we got literally left wing lunatics trying to assassinate a sitting supreme court justice. we have got a january 6th hearing that is going to start in like an hour. focused on something that happened 18 months ago. when by the way we still don t have any idea who was behind the motivations in terms of making it happen with these months of violent blm protests that we had, which led to burned down buildings, mostly peaceful that they were, right? nobody is actually answering or dealing with the questions and the issues that are confronting the average american, which is why joe biden came into office, jesse, selling the idea of uniting the country. the most recent quinnipiac poll he has a 33% approval rate. so what he seems to have united the country on is that everybody wishes he was not president, which i guess is at least something although i don t think it was what he was hoping for when he got inaugu
american people claiming that trump colluded with the kremlin and was putin s asset. meanwhile, the whole time he knew there was never any evidence. he lied during the investigation, he lied during the impeachment hearings. remember this beauty? i hear what you want, i have a favor i want from you though. and i m going to say this only seven times so you better listen good. i want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? lots of it. jesse: look behind every good actor is a good producer. so that s why they are bringing in james goldston, who is that? is he a former president of abc and he is the one in charge of making tonight s hearing watchable. now, you are probably wondering okay, so who is this guy? well, here s what you need to know. goldston was in charge when abc spiked the jeffrey epstein story. he and the other executives
