>> jesse: welcome to a special edition of "jesse watters primetime", i'm pete and for jesse on a friday night. now there is no doubt in my mind that america is the greatest nation in human history. when the british strangled our freedom kaik it was brave patriots who revolted and took what was rightfully ours, our freedom. when europe was occupied it was lionhearted men who stormed the beaches of normandy who liberated from the nazis. when islamists attacked us on 911, courageous warriors headed out to no man's land to take the fight to their backyard. i was one of those men who joined the army to fight extremists. i joined the army in 2001 and became an officer in 2003, i guarded terrace quant on them obey in 2004. i lead men in combat and a rock and 2005. i pulled bodies out of burning vehicles in afghanistan in 2012. i even held a right shield outside of the white house during the riots of 2020. just one small part, i was one of millions of brave americans on the front lines. all patriots who put their lives on the line to actually defend our republic. when you wear the uniform or support someone who does, you understand the costs of defending freedom, which are up to and including the cost of your own life. joe biden never served. fine, it is what it is. he never saw combat, fine. most folks never will, i understand. but joe biden does know how to fight for himself, his family and his political fortunes. as such, he keeps telling us day after day that he is the world's greatest defender of democracy. today he did it again when he gave a speech in front of world war ii heroes that point the hawk. >> we talk about democracy. we often talk about the ideals of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness. but we don't talk about how hard it is, how many ways we are asked to walk away, how many instincts there are two walk away. the most natural instinct is to walk away. >> he is not walking away. but does joe biden know what it means to defend democracy? he certainly does not know that we are not a democracy, we are a republic. our founders rejected democracy and give us a constitutional republic. but i digress. and joe does not even know it is friday. so understanding a distinction like that is just asking too much. biden's idea of defending democracy is locking up his political opponent. >> how important do you think this conviction should be in this race for president? >> that is for the public to decide. one thing for certain is to stop undermining the rule of law. stop undermining the institutions. that is what this whole effort is. all the republicans are coming out saying this was fixed. >> stop undermining institutions is rich. trump has been savagely criticized for saying he might lock her up back in 2016. but he did not do it. they did. but they want you to think that trump will lock up his opponents in a never ending retribution to her. just so they can justify locking him up. but using the legal system to prosecute your political opponents only cheapens the democracy they claim to protect. in fact, they destroy it. and when you use the military to make a political point, it is just a disgrace. biden spent the week with some of the bravest men in this country's history. the men who stormed the beaches of normandy, who climbed the cliffs with flamethrowers on their backs. they jump out of airplanes and charged towards machine-gun nests. these guys are studs, all of them. just from looking at it, you can tell who was a fighter and who is not. [ applause ] [ speaking french ] >> distinguished guests, please welcome the honourable lloyd austin the third, secretary of defence of the united states of america. >> but the media wasted no time politicizing a solemn day. instead of thanking those brave men for actually defending our republic, they are thanking them for making biden look young. >> here is president biden spending time with one of those heroes. and once again, once again, in these vats did an incredible service to their nation. they made joe biden look young. >> how low do you think they can go? will it turns out the biden campaign can go really low. putting this new ad out. >> a good commander-in-chief is someone who gives a [ bleep ] >> when i see his predecessor donald trump, i see a man who was only in it for himself. >> i think the election is the difference between authoritarianism and democracy. >> i came to see a president that cares about maintaining democracy. >> donald trump is not fit to be commander-in-chief. >> as my kids say, karen g. congratulations, you found 4batz in america who don't like trump. but msnbc is saying the quiet part out loud. they want to use the military as a political weapon. >> i love it. i hadn't seen that ad and i was talking about the generals and the servicemen seeing the military people and our vets speak. there is nothing more american, nothing that brings us together more than the military. and to me, and donald trump has trashed it, trashed every institution. and i said this before, i said before seeing that ad and i believe it more than ever before, military is the secret weapon, let's let it loose. >> what does that mean? and how might use that secret weapon? you see, when the thousands of men and women put on the uniform after 911 it was not for politics, it was for the country. i served under bush and obama and trump, i even volunteered for deploying to afghanistan during obama's surge. i, like many vets was not a fan of obama. but he was the commander-in-chief. my service was not for democrats or republicans, it was for the republic. sadly, today's military is not the same institution i joined. in 2012, romney beat obama amongst active-duty troops 2-1. in 2016, trump held a 20-point lead over with the troops over clinton. and 2020, it reversed a bit. biden led trump by roughly four% with active-duty, basically 50-50. but amongst vets, in 2020, trump one by 10. patriots are passing up service or leaving the military altogether, seeing all the social justice and politically correct garbage that obama and now biden have reigned into the military. i have seen this shift up close and personal. the army i served on the cusp of joe biden's inauguration called me a domestic extremist. my journey was from fighting extremists to being called one. joe biden's journey took him to the beaches of normandy where he looked at those brave warriors in the eye and cheapened their service. he said he, not them, was the defender of democracy because he is willing to potentially jail his opponent. the voice of normandy fought nazis. biden fights trump and thinks his fight is just as important. so how did we go from storming the beaches of normandy to being used as political ponds and campaign props? we talk about this and my book, the war on warriors, out right now. when blm riots took over our cities, my unit was called into action, standing outside the white house with a riot shield. i had a bit of an epiphany one night. you see, the nt for and black lives matter riders were not that much different than the soldiers i was standing shoulder to shoulder with. in fact,, both sides were quite similar. we are both passionate, we are both brave, we do not fear pain or with the other side could do to us. he believed in the righteousness of our cause and at any other time in american history, those protesters on the other side would have fought injustice may be by joining the military. but in 2020 we are on separate sides. how can america have eroded so badly that we are standing off against our own citizens? i remember cameras pointed everywhere but the message not being sent. there was no way this could have gotten this bad without someone in our government knowing about it. all of these young potential soldiers had found a terrible form of hero was him. either because they rejected the good kind or, just as likely, because our government was not competent enough and our goodness to presented to them. as i held the line that day, i realized that anything could happen and my gut told me that none of this was inevitable. right now, we are in uncharted waters r trying to keep a great country while simultaneously teaching our kids to hate that country and then wondering why those same kids do not want to climb cliffs and charge machine-gun dennis for that country. the military cannot be organized like the harvard faculty lounge, catering to ever more obscure constituencies. our key constituency is strong, normal men. looking to be heroes and not victims. we aren't a collection of a group of tribes, equality is our bedrock and lethality is our trademark. there is no black and white and our ranks, nor republican or democrat. we are all green and bleed red. our strength is not in our diversity, but in our unity and in our love for each other, our families and most of all our nation. we are about to enter political season, locking up opponents and running baseless adds. all with the world in a swirling ball of chaos and uncertainty unleashed by biden's weakness. we desperately need a new commander-in-chief but we are stuck with this one for now. i pray for our republic and our military. i pray they both survive in the meantime. matthew is a former lieutenant colonel space commander and author of irresistible revolution and joins me now, i've had a chance to get to know matthew. he is one of very few people while active in service who spoke up about the politicized asian inside our ranks. matthew, when you look at vets, servicemembers used as props or the comparisons that are made by politicians, as someone who did stand up and say we shouldn't be pushing marxist theories inside our military, how do you react to that? >> i couldn't help but reflect during your monologue, pete, that american greatness was a hard one that is easily lost and that has been plain for all to see. joe biden is busy talking about defending democracy and the ideals of democracy. and anyone who has any remaining connection to reality ceased as plainly as it is. any freedom loving leader of a democratic nation in the western world today protects their own borders and does not betray the trust of their own people. any freedom loving leader in a democratic world does not make a mockery of the men and women in uniform by tearing families apart and making a mockery of the nuclear family and pushing marxist ideology, transgender -ism, 2slgbtqia+ ideology. any freedom loving liberal, democratic nation leader is serious about free and fair elections and not persecuting and prosecuting the political opposition. joe biden is making it very clear, this whole regime that has been established over the past four years since the blm and np for riots is making a clear statement to not just americans, but to our adversaries abroad as well that we hit lack seriousness and does not appreciate the democratic ideals that he pretends to disavow. we were once a great constitutional republic and there's no better demonstration of the sacrifice and courage that can be made by americans when they truly believe in their country, than the men who stormed the beaches of normandy 80 years ago. just earlier today, i will say i was listening to ronald reagan speak that he gave at the same location at the 40 year anniversary of normandy and i contrasted it with what i heard from joe biden just yesterday. and it is also an unfortunate reflection of our present reality as a country. when you look at the dignity, the respect with which ronald reagan approached his remarks in nine minutes compared to the apparent façade and current president of the united states, it is no wonder we lost the respect of young men and women in this country who do not want to join the military anymore and lost the fear of our adversaries on the world stage. >> no doubt. you give up our military career at 18 years to speak the truth and very few have done that. do you believe a new commander-in-chief can reverse this course of politicizing our military? >> i believe it commander-in-chief indeed can help us reverse course. and fact i don't know that it is entirely possible to reverse the course of a woke military agenda and defence department without a new commander-in-chief. although, whatever the outcome of the political election, we need men and women who currently serve in uniform to exhibit the courage necessary to stand on principle and values and speak the truth. when we start to see the censorship of the conservative voice, is a harbinger of societal failure. and the military has long been a bastion of conservatism and patriotism. when they start congress patriot extremist like they called you, when they start to make you feel ashamed because you believe in a conservative or christian worldview, respectfully do not let them do that. it is time for you to exhibit courage, it is a unique stage in world history and american history, take this opportunity to speak the truth. >> you did that, you live that, the book is irresistible revolution, check it out. you wrote it long before the war on warriors but i leaned on his wisdom when writing this book as well, thank you so much matthew. >> thanks, pete. >> all right, we move on now to a fox news alert. drums lawyers on the prosecution just received a letter from the judge. alerting them to a post on facebook made before the verdict came out. saying, quote, my cousin is a juror and says trump is getting convicted. thank you folks for all your hard work. the entire post, including the comment has since been deleted. fox has not confirmed the commenter's identity, we just know the judge sent out a letter. we do not know if this guy was actually the cousin of a juror, this could easily be a prank. trumps team told fox they are looking into it, they are investigating it and we will have more for you on monday. don't want to get ahead of ourselves. hunter biden's daughter goes under oath.

>> very interesting, thank you. meanwhile, the trial rolls on in delaware, republicans are sending criminal referrals to the justice department. this could be a big development. they want hunter and jim biden to be charged for lying to congress. hunters accused of downplaying his ties with a company he owns a major stake in. and lying about sending a threatening message to the chinese business partner. and jim biden allegedly lied by saying joe biden did not meet with hunter's business partner back in 2017. a congresswoman is on the oversight committee. one of those committees making the referrals. nancy, why now? what evidence were you able to gather that said, hey,, we want to refer this to the justice department? >> we had information that came out in the committee about the whistleblowers and some initial information that prove that both hunter biden and james biden perjured themselves throughout this entire process. and perjury is a serious crime and we ought to refer charges over there lies to congress. there will be consequences, the american people ought to know the truth and this is one way to get them the truth. >> you were referring charges to joe biden's justice department. is there any way in which they get a fair hearing? could there be enough evidence presented that they say, hey,, we have to do something? >> we would love to see the justice department do something but it would be on them to do that. and so far, we talk to some of these whistleblowers and witnesses and you know that hunter biden, for example,, lied to congress. why has the justice department move already? because this is a crime. i believe they're trying to cover up joe biden's involvement here based on all the evidence that we have found, tens of millions of dollars funnel from china and russia and other places. this ought to move swiftly but again the justice department is at the hands of joe biden. it is a very collocated process. >> but it is important work worthy to be done as you put in front of the american people they can make their own judgements, thank you so much nancy. >> thank you. >> gavin newsom lost $20 billion and now he wants to fire the house.
