| What are the chances that I don't get kicked off Twitter and YouTube just for talking to you? | ||
| Well, I think you have about a 10% chance. | ||
| A good solid 10%. | ||
| 10% getting kicked off or 10% staying? | ||
| And 10% staying on. | ||
| Anyone can be pretty. | ||
| I'm sick of this. | ||
| Just try harder. | ||
| You're about to give the keynote. | ||
| We got 10 minutes. | ||
| How do we do this? | ||
| What do we do? | ||
| Badly and quick. | ||
| So this is it. | ||
| Sidney Sweeney's bathwater. | ||
| That's pretty good. | ||
| She's half job of the hut, half predator. | ||
| It's like, what is that exactly? | ||
| And you cut it, you could actually fold it in a way that her knees would look like her boobs. | ||
| Has anyone ever seen that before? | ||
| You could probably get an image. | ||
| I don't know if we can put that on YouTube. | ||
|

|
And what are Democrats good at besides sort of talking like this, but they're impressed? | |
| pay these people in chipotle guacamole boss's chair today It is the recap episode. | ||
| Dave has been out all month. | ||
| All right, so you got to catch the show on Rumble, YouTube, locals. | ||
| Click, share, subscribe, click the notification. | ||
| All transparency. | ||
| I was on a 14-hour journey to get to Dave yesterday, and I got about three hours of sleep. | ||
| No amount of nootropics or coffee or nicotine gum is really helping. | ||
| So things could go south quick. | ||
| Warning. | ||
| I said, would I say Pakistan to your team a little earlier when I was rehearsing? | ||
| Is that a bit of news that there's a new country? | ||
| I feel bad. | ||
| It's like, I think I might have to get comfortable. | ||
| I wanted to wear the shoes for the intro, but this is going to be a long one. | ||
| I feel like I'm about to club a baby seal. | ||
| So, okay, get comfortable. | ||
| Where were you? | ||
| How are you? | ||
| How are you feeling? | ||
| Well, first off, Jillian Michaels, it is nice to see you, my friend. | ||
| I don't know that anyone is better suited to bring me back on the grid. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, it is true. | |
| I know nothing that has happened since the day I went off the grid last day of July. | ||
| I avoided television. | ||
| I avoided the internet. | ||
| I avoided social media. | ||
| All of the stuff. | ||
| Unfortunately, this year, because of the way the phones have just infiltrated our lives in every which way, I had my phone a little bit for controlling lights in my house and alarms and turning on things and like moving blinds. | ||
| And like, so like getting off the grid in like Little House on the Prairie Way is getting increasingly harder and harder and harder to do. | ||
| But in terms of getting out of the system and the machine and the rat race and the hamster wheel, I completely did it. | ||
| I do have to say, so I want to, I scribble down a few things real quick before we get to the news. | ||
| I will say one thing about the news before I get to just like some random stuff that happened over the month. | ||
| I don't get the sense that anything major happened. | ||
| Oh, it's going to ask if you have predictions. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So my sense is that nothing like absolutely crazy happened, like some kind of big war or like an assassination or a death. | ||
| Like I don't get a sense of that because when I was out and about, either at the airport or at the supermarket or whatever, when people were coming up to me, everybody, like nobody was like jumping at the gun like, oh my God, the thing. | ||
| Like it wasn't, there wasn't like a lot of that. | ||
| It was the bar. | ||
| Nobody was killed and nobody dropped a nuke. | ||
| So nothing major happened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Like there weren't any power outages here. | ||
| So my general sense is that it was a relatively quiet month. | ||
| Probably going to eat those words in just moments, but I scribble down a few things because you know, getting away with well, I don't know. | ||
| You have a lot of paper there, and you were laughing hysterically right before we started. | ||
| So, um, but but I thought I would just mention a few things having nothing to do with the news before we get back on. | ||
| Because when I this point, get it out of your system. | ||
| This is my ninth year of doing this, and I'm like you, like, I'm a creature of all of this. | ||
| I love the news, I love the cycle, I love the culture stuff, and all of that stuff. | ||
| But also, the escape is to, for me, it's to like reconnect with something else, something that we all were part of way before the internet began, where we were just here and present all the time. | ||
| And I have spent a month being really, really present. | ||
| The last, the last interview that I did, I think it was on July 31st, and then we put it up on August 1st, was with Eckhart Tolle. | ||
| And we talked about present and taking a break. | ||
| And I really like took that in this month. | ||
| So, just like a couple things that I scribbled down, I won't spend too much time on it because I know every show. | ||
| Well, I know everybody wants to get to the news that I miss more important. | ||
| Well, they know it. | ||
| So, I think they probably actually want to hear about your month away. | ||
| So, let me just offer up. | ||
| Let me offer up a couple things. | ||
| Well, first off, the only thing that I watched today, so finally, today, for a split second, I opened up YouTube. | ||
| I didn't look at anything. | ||
| But one thought that was popping in my head for the entire month, almost every day, is that I'm the luckiest guy in the world. | ||
| I kept thinking that over and over. | ||
| Like, I spent so much time with my kids who are doing, you just saw them, they came in here, like, who are doing so great and learning how to swim now and taking them to the beach and going in the ocean and like just watching them develop a sense of humor and all of this stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it gets better. | |
| And I have no doubt it gets better. | ||
| And then it probably gets worse and crazy and awesome. | ||
| And like all of that stuff. | ||
| But like, I had so much time with that. | ||
| David and I got to escape for a while. | ||
| We had 10 days, just the two of us, to kind of reconnect. | ||
| It was our 10th anniversary last week. | ||
| We've been together 15 years, but married 10 years. | ||
| We got to escape and like have some solo time, which is also important and all that. | ||
| But the one thing that I did watch, it's only two minutes long, but I watched the Lou Gehrig speech from, God, I don't even know what year it is, the black and white speech that he gave at Yankee Stadium, his last public appearance, you know, when he had what came to be known as Lou Gehrig's disease. | ||
| But he talks about, you know, he now knows that he has this affliction. | ||
| I don't have any affliction. | ||
| But how he's the luckiest man alive. | ||
| And I just kept thinking that throughout the month. | ||
| Like, I get to escape. | ||
| I do what I want 11 months of the year. | ||
| I have an incredible team. | ||
| I have great colleagues and co-workers and employees and friends and family and all these things. | ||
| And then I get to escape and have nothing to do with any of it. | ||
| And that's great too. | ||
| So I just more than anything else, whatever you're going to tell me, I'm just like unbelievably appreciative of everybody that I'm around. | ||
| You, these guys, like so appreciative of everything. | ||
| And it really just hit me over and over and over and over. | ||
| So that's one nice thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now I'll just tell you like a couple of random quick is I listen and it's hard. | |
| It's with opportunity and preparation. | ||
| You've put in a lot of work to have this life. | ||
| So I just want to be really clear that this isn't luck in the traditional sense of the word. | ||
| You've worked real hard to have this team and to cultivate this crew and to build this channel and to work on your relationships and to have this great dynamic with David and the kids. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like that's a lot of work. | |
| Yeah, you've earned all that. | ||
| It's work. | ||
| Yeah, I guess, well, I guess that was partly what I was appreciative of. | ||
| Like part of the appreciation is that I worked really hard and do work hard to create those things. | ||
| And then to have this month where I was able to like step back for a second. | ||
| Like one thing that was really good this month, it was really nice to not have everything be about me all the time. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like that's like a weird thing. | ||
| Like when you're a public person, like people know you, they expect things from you. | ||
| They want things from you. | ||
| You want to give them things. | ||
| Like there's, but there's this weird public thing that like a lot of it's about you all the time. | ||
| And then the social media part makes it like, you know, ramped up on steroids. | ||
| So to escape a little bit of that and to just like be more present, literally, whether it was with a cashier or a waitress or whatever, I think was like, was unbelievable. | ||
| Let me just tell you a couple of funny things though. | ||
| So I am sure that I am in the Guinness Book of World Records now for something that happened this month. | ||
| I listened, and maybe David's with me on this, but I think I might have even beat him. | ||
| We listened to the theme song of Ghostbusters more times than anyone in the history of the world in any 30-day period. | ||
| On around August 1st, somehow the kids heard Ghostbusters. | ||
| It just popped up on something. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| They are obsessed. | ||
| And we listened to that song. | ||
| It could be 10 to 20 times a day, including when we drove across Alligator Alley, about a three and a half hour ride, basically non-stop Ghostbusters. | ||
| You saw them this morning, they're in Ghostbusters. | ||
| It's like Ghostbusters, and it was really weird because it's a great song. | ||
| Actually, it so captures the 80s and blah, blah, blah. | ||
| But then, but there's a weird thing that happens when you hear something over and over. | ||
| Like, you're like, I like it, I like it, I like it. | ||
| Then you like go to like some crescendo, then you start hating it. | ||
| Then, because the kids are loving it, you start loving it again, and then it almost becomes like it's almost like religious in nature after you've heard it so many times. | ||
| And then by the end, by yesterday, I was like, I wouldn't mind hearing Ghostbusters right now. | ||
| Like, so I am in some sort of that was one thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The other thing, I hold that record for Frozen by the way. | |
| What's the main song in Frozen? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my god, I've actually blocked it out, but it's it's let it go, let it go, let it go. | |
| That's Connor's favorite song. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my god, yeah. | |
| The other thing, I ate a tremendous amount of watermelon this month. | ||
| I think I ate probably half a watermelon a day for a month. | ||
| A lot of potassium. | ||
| You're a health lady. | ||
| I don't know where that I don't know where that puts me, but I just love watermelon. | ||
| I ate a lot of watermelon. | ||
| Oh, this one you'll find interesting. | ||
| And this actually, I think, is really talking about water. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll get to all the evils. | |
| She's like, I ate watermelon. | ||
| I'm like, oh, damn. | ||
| I know we're going to raw dog this thing in a minute. | ||
| Just let me ease in right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| It's okay. | ||
| What? | ||
| It's okay, Dee. | ||
| I took a nap every day, every single day, without fail. | ||
| So for 30 straight days, I took a nap at some point. | ||
| Sometimes it was only like a 15-minute nap. | ||
| Sometimes it was an hour nap on the beach. | ||
| Sometimes it was when the kids went down for a nap and I passed down on the couch. | ||
| But like, take like the privilege to take a nap, to have the space in your life to take a nap. | ||
| I know that sounds ridiculous, probably, but something about it, like I am going to try to incorporate naps into my life more like a little siesta. | ||
| I know, I know. | ||
| Another thing, and this maybe I'm going to have to spin off a show, but one thing I really got into with the kids at night, so I had more time to like put them down at night and read stories and stuff, which I love doing. | ||
| We got a couple puppets, and I've been putting on puppet shows for them at night and doing all these different characters, the wizard and the robot and the old lady. | ||
| And I do all the voices and everything for like an hour. | ||
| I'm putting on like an hour show a night and I like kind of incorporate we could get those rules. | ||
| Probably not for no, okay, sorry. | ||
| But I may be doing a puppet show soon. | ||
| What else? | ||
| I trained for the first time in my life. | ||
| I've never had a trainer ever, but I was training three days a week, mostly working on legs and getting some stability and core and stuff. | ||
| But I feel really good. | ||
| I ate right. | ||
| I didn't have one bad meal. | ||
| Like now, I just ate right the entire time, which was good. | ||
| And then I'll just say, well, let's see. | ||
| Oh, and the kids swimming, like to watch them learn how to swim now is just so cool. | ||
| And taking them out into the ocean. | ||
| So it's great. | ||
| And then when we did go to Mexico for 10 days, just the two of us. | ||
| And, you know, I started my tequila a couple months ago, Copal. | ||
| I was thinking tequila and puppets could be the show. | ||
| Actually, that's not a bad idea. | ||
| I know. | ||
| But I took, we brought tequila there. | ||
| Our distillery actually wasn't far from where we stayed. | ||
| So they brought it over to us. | ||
| And we had some of the best tequila somalias in all of Mexico come and taste our tequila. | ||
| And they loved it, loved it, loved it. | ||
| So that was so affirming because this is something I've been working on for years. | ||
| So that was lovely. | ||
| And then let me just share one broad thought about politics and culture and life. | ||
| And then you can take over. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I really was thinking a lot. | ||
| Like, I try to, I think one of the things I try to do when I escape is like, well, how do I come back better than when I left? | ||
| You know, not just do the rat race and be in this, just do it over and over and wake up and be like, oh my God, Whoopi Goldberg said this. | ||
| And like, how do I be better at this thing? | ||
| And I think one of the things that was driving me crazy for the last maybe like four months before going off is there's been so much fighting on the right, like for people that Thought we're like just everyone, we thought we were all kind of roughly on the same side. | ||
| Maybe we think different things about this or that or whatever, but so much fighting on the right. | ||
| And it all, when you get off the freaking, I don't even have my phone on me, but when you get off the phone and you get off the machine and you're just with real people, you realize how little of it actually matters. | ||
| I don't mean the news doesn't matter, of course it matters. | ||
| I don't mean culture doesn't matter or current events don't matter, but like the bickering of who's going to destroy who. | ||
| And I got this guy and this one went after, it just is so silly and ridiculous, and it has so little translation into reality. | ||
| Like, I talked to so many different people this month who, and very little about nothing about politics came up, but just talked to people from every walk of life. | ||
| Wherever I went, I was really aware to just like if I could just say hi to somebody on the beach or just like just chat with people. | ||
| And like, there's so much goodness. | ||
| And so, one of the things that I'm really going to try to do for this season of the show, which will roll into 2026, which is America's 250th birthday, is I'm going to double down on finding all of the good people that want to do great things with this country and fight for all of the freedom and beauty and goodness that there is. | ||
| Like the bitterness and the fighting and all of this stuff, it's just utterly nonsensical. | ||
| And I'm going to do my best not to take part. | ||
| I could rattle off a million more things, but I think that I had to get a few things just out of my system. | ||
| You never do, though. | ||
| You're always above it, and you're always a class act. | ||
| And I think that's one of the reasons people love you and they trust you. | ||
| I, you know, I feel kind of bad simply because I was also away for a little while. | ||
| I was gone for almost a month starting in mid-July, so I had to catch up on all of it as well. | ||
| And I remember coming home and thinking, like, how am I going to jump back into this stuff? | ||
| And if you do it with this renewed sense of purpose, like, what's the bigger vision? | ||
| What am I going to try to tackle here when addressing this stuff? | ||
| And it is about bringing goodness into the world and platforming great ideas and trying to make the country a better place. | ||
| And you do that so well. | ||
| I try, and I will continue to try. | ||
| But it does, it is weird. | ||
| This year more than any other year, it feels weird to come back in some sense. | ||
| Why do you think that is? | ||
| Because I felt it too. | ||
| I felt it too. | ||
| You're like, okay, hold on. | ||
| We're going from zero to fifth gear. | ||
| You know, this is like probably the easy version, so maybe I have to think it through a little bit more. | ||
| The easy version would be that last year we were in the middle of an election year, so it was like, I had to come back. | ||
| I felt the need to come back. | ||
| The year before that, they were primaries. | ||
| And it was like, oh my God, the primaries, and who's going to be the VP? | ||
| And blah, blah, blah, all the political stuff. | ||
| This year, because it's like Trump's president, when I left, I felt like there were so many good things happening. | ||
| I mean, that's what I'm talking about on the show all the time, despite the whatever bickering there is and everything. | ||
| So I, so it was easier to get off, you know what I mean? | ||
| Like it was just easier to like get off the crazy train. | ||
| So coming back on the crazy train, it just definitely feels weird. | ||
| I think it's going to take me a couple days now to get my C-legs and get back into this goal. | ||
| But now you can bludgeon me. | ||
| You want to just paper me for two hours? | ||
| You got a lot of paper there. | ||
| I'm going to ease you into it. | ||
| And I want to try to make it as funny as I possibly can. | ||
| But I'll be honest, some of it's alarming. | ||
| Can I ask you, is my general estimation? | ||
| Don't tell me if you think it's going to blow anything, but is my general estimation that nothing like really crazy happened? | ||
| Is that kind of right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like that's just my, that's my it's all really crazy. | |
| Right, I guess everybody's going to be. | ||
| But that's kind of the point. | ||
| So like we haven't hit DEF CON one, right? | ||
| Like nobody's about to push the button. | ||
| But it's pretty kind of, it is a little dystopian. | ||
| I'm not going to, I'm not going to bullshit you. | ||
| It's a little, like a lot of, there's some crazy stuff going on in the country, but nothing you haven't seen before. | ||
| But it, you know. | ||
| All right, well. | ||
| Some steps forward, some steps back. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Well, just one last thing to that and then take it away, which is that a few times, you know, David doesn't really care about politics the way I do. | ||
| And we both, he basically disconnects too so that he doesn't have to know things that I don't know. | ||
| And then that becomes like really strange or whatever. | ||
| But he did keep saying, which I thought was interesting and also will help me frame how I want to do the show for the next year, is that, you know, that everything has felt so crazy for so long. | ||
| If you think of everything related to Trump and everything related to COVID and the way social media has shredded us and all these things, that things can only burn like that for so long. | ||
| And then it becomes like a need for something else. | ||
| And that's what I'm trying to figure out here. | ||
| Like something about that. | ||
| The only, oh, wait, I do want to mention one more thing. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| The only two movies that I watched during the entire month was about halfway through. | ||
| I watched Weekend at Bernie's because I was just like, I want something completely idiotic that only has good feelings to me and is just like joyful. | ||
| And it was like, man, the 80s, our thing, the thing that like was our formative thing was so freaking great. | ||
| And I've said it before, but I think America has to get back to that somehow, like the feeling of the 80s. | ||
| If we can capture that again, I think that's the off-road of the craziness. | ||
| And then the other thing that I watch, and it's connected to this, and I promise you can take over, is I watched the new Jurassic Park a few days ago. | ||
| Did you see it by chance? | ||
| I think I saw part of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So it was, I thought, pretty terrible. | ||
| And the only reason I'm even mentioning this is I think it signifies. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't want to say anything shitty, but you said it. | ||
| See, it was pretty terrible. | ||
| But the reason I'm mentioning it is because it gets to the heart of what I think we need in culture. | ||
| What we have to figure out is we keep retreading all of these things, right? | ||
| We can't seem to come up with something new anymore, new scripts, new ideas, like new art. | ||
| When was the last time you listened to new music? | ||
| I listened to music all month. | ||
| Like we had music playing 10 hours a day. | ||
| It was in the Stones, Tupac, Saritha, Amy Winehouse. | ||
| Which is all awesome, but it would be nice if someone could create new things. | ||
| So I'm watching this Jurassic Park and it's stiff and it's terrible. | ||
| And it's like they've done it all before, but not only have they done it all before, they did the original three. | ||
| The original one was a really good one. | ||
| The two kind of after that, pretty crappy. | ||
| Then they rebooted it and it was like just kind of redoing it again. | ||
| And now they're redoing the redo. | ||
| And it just makes me wonder, like, what part of what part of the thing are we in right now where we're redoing the redos? | ||
| Like we need something new, and I'm going to really sit with that. | ||
| Nobody wants to take a risk. | ||
| So it's like, oh, that works. | ||
| So let's make the 16th iteration of it. | ||
| Because if you take a risk, you get fired. | ||
| You know, gone are the days when they could let cheers roll season after season as a failure with the knowledge that it's inherently good and will become one of the top shows of all time. | ||
| 100 episodes later. | ||
| You'd be fired for doing that now. | ||
| It will tank episode two, they'll pull it off the air, and that's it. | ||
| So people just come from fear constantly. | ||
| We just need to renew some things, and I think we can do it. | ||
| I'm going to do it with you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Let's go. | ||
| All right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What do you got? | |
| Now tell me about all the people who are. | ||
| I just can't even. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| I feel pressure. | ||
| So the first thing is we're going to break this into three parts, right? | ||
| So we've got national politics and Trump, additional political news, pop culture news, which is batshit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But first, you are going on tour in Australia. | |
| Do we have a lot of people? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, do we have to meet Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane? | |
| Very, very exciting. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| I'm getting right on the grid and going across the world. | ||
| All right, good for me. | ||
| You're on for five minutes and now you're going to, yeah, you're going to be able to do it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Thank you for promoting the stuff. | ||
| Oh, anytime. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| I do have some good news. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Starting with good news. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Kamala, I still to this day cannot pronounce her name right, so forgive me, is not going to run for governor or president. | ||
| And she went on Colbert and announced it. | ||
| Take a look. | ||
| Yesterday, you made an announcement that you're not running for the governor of California. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Correct. | |
| You said you're going to sit this one out. | ||
| Why are you sitting this one out? | ||
| Are you saving yourself for a different office that might be? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I made the decision that I just, for now, I don't want to go back in the system. | |
| I think it's broken. | ||
| Who's leading the Democratic Party? | ||
| I'm just curious. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There are lots of leaders. | |
| There's generally a leader of the Democratic Party. | ||
| You know, like, oh, that's the leader of Doner Party. | ||
| Who comes to mind? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think there are a lot of, I'm not going to go through names because then I'm going to leave somebody out and then I'm going to hear about it. | |
| Oh, God, that's like watching a movie. | ||
| When you stop watching that stuff for a while, that feels like watching like a scripted movie. | ||
| First off, the failed guy who's going to be kicked out. | ||
| The woman who was attacked. | ||
| No, not attacked. | ||
| The woman who was justly criticized for never having a declarative sentence about anything. | ||
| She can't name who's going to be the leader of the party. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| She's nothing. | ||
| Like, that's the thing. | ||
| We were. | ||
| Do people realize? | ||
| Like, what was the reaction to it nationally? | ||
| Because do people realize we were on the precipice of electing nothing? | ||
| Like, we were just electing the next cog in the system. | ||
| That's what it was. | ||
| Dementia guide to the cop. | ||
| I'm like, you are the system. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That is. | ||
| The system's broken, lady. | ||
| It's the definition of the system. | ||
| Lady, the system literally rejiggered itself in front of our eyes to make you the candidate. | ||
| And now you don't like the system. | ||
| Well, it's kind of like Colbert. | ||
| He doesn't like the system very much anymore because when they pull your 20 million bucks a year to have a $50 million deficit on your show, you're suddenly not. | ||
| So did people care? | ||
| Like, she's nothing. | ||
| She's nobody. | ||
| She's going to be a footnote. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| If I never have to say your name again, that would be a pleasure. | ||
| I cared simply because I thought if she becomes the next governor of California, it is the only way things could get worse there. | ||
| Oh, you still have hope for that, Poland. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do. | |
| I do. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| You know, I get in fights with people about it that stay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I'm like, don't get out now. | ||
| Run while you can. | ||
| But being a native daughter of the state, having grown up there, thinking it's so beautiful, it has so much potential, and watching it be systematically destroyed by Gavin Newsome, and then knowing she was next in line, there is some relief for me there. | ||
| I'm not going to lie. | ||
| And the best part is like, oh, no, I'm just such a good person. | ||
| I want to work outside the system. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like, no, you knew you can't win. | |
| You knew you can't win. | ||
| And if you need to safe face and bow out gracefully, I'm going to let her have it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But also, what has she done? | ||
| What has she ever actually? | ||
| I know she put a lot of people in jail for minor weed offenses as Attorney General, but she should have never been running in the first place. | ||
| She should have never been vice president in the first place. | ||
| So it's not that she's not happy with the system. | ||
| The system's done with you. | ||
| You have no use. | ||
| That's when these people are just cogs for the system. | ||
| The system no longer has use for you. | ||
| It would have had use for her if she had won. | ||
| Then it could have used her to further whatever its agenda is, right? | ||
| I don't even mean that in like some crazy conspiracy way. | ||
| Like there is a system that's in place. | ||
| I don't know that anyone knows exactly what it is. | ||
| There's something that is in place that orders this stuff. | ||
| It no longer has use for a person who can only talk about concentric circles and Russia big, Ukraine small. | ||
| So adios, lady, don't let the door hit you on the way out. | ||
| It was literally yesterday's news for that party, and we'll get into that in a little bit. | ||
| But speaking of individuals that the system no longer has use for. | ||
| So far, one for one. | ||
| We got one good one. | ||
| They just trotted out. | ||
| We should be here. | ||
| Okay, you're right. | ||
| I'll keep a little tally on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Here we go. | ||
| So Biden appeared at the National Bar Association gala, and he just looks doing this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Take a look. | |
| And he brought his granddaughters to celebrate with him. | ||
| It has been to ease all the gains we've made in my administration. | ||
| To erase history rather than make it. | ||
| To erase fairness, equality, to erase justice itself. | ||
| And that's not hyperbole. | ||
| That's a fact. | ||
| So he to talk about how Trump has erased his legacy, of which I'm unclear. | ||
| I'm still trying to figure out what that is outside of the autopen and inflation and naps and botched Afghanistan withdrawal. | ||
| And that is kind of the point, by the way, is that we wanted to erase that. | ||
| Well, you know, I said that watching Kamala and Colbert is like watching a movie. | ||
| Like watching him, it's just like watching a movie. | ||
| Oh, you're an old man that they put up there to poorly read a script. | ||
| What actually, my first reaction to seeing him again was, man, can you believe that it was just over a year ago where they were still telling us he was supposed to be president, right? | ||
| He didn't step down until I think it was July, or when they forced him out, actually, which we'll find out more about years from now. | ||
| It was July of last year. | ||
| So it's just over a year ago. | ||
| They were going to pretend that that man was supposed to be president right now, and that so many people participated in that. | ||
| Jake Tapper participated in it and then wrote a book about it. | ||
| Like, what an utter, utter farce. | ||
| But you're so right about the legacy. | ||
| Like, sorry, dude, what is your legacy? | ||
| Well, you were in government for 50 plus years. | ||
| You broke the border. | ||
| You, you know, had draconian lockdowns during COVID. | ||
| You forced vaccines. | ||
| You weakened us across the world. | ||
| Like, what is like, and then what at the end of all of that is like, what are you even going out there for at this point? | ||
| Dr. Jill, it's because Dr. Jill won't let the guy just take him. | ||
| It's got to be because it's a good idea. | ||
| Speaking of someone who needs to take a look. | ||
| Honestly, like abuse. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, stop trotting the guy out there. | ||
| Well, did you see, remember right before the election, I think it was the day before the election, they trotted out. | ||
| I mean, this was the most sad of all of them. | ||
| They trotted out Jimmy Carter's body and he literally looked like the cripkeeper. | ||
| No one should have seen him. | ||
| He could not move, mouth agape, you know, hollow eyes. | ||
| And they said his last wish was to vote for Kamala Harris. | ||
| Like awful lie. | ||
| Somehow, if you step away for a month, like the lies, right? | ||
| It's like we all know they're lying all the time, but you step away from a month and then the lies seem like really obvious. | ||
| That's what I mean when you're like, well, I think all the countries are still there. | ||
| No one died. | ||
| But when you gain some perspective, man, this is pretty crazy. | ||
| There's a lot of work to be done here. | ||
| All right, well, look, I wrote good, bad. | ||
| I have a tally now. | ||
| So I'm going to say that one was good. | ||
| Like, it's probably, we're not going to see much more of him. | ||
| So I have two good. | ||
| You've given me two good ones. | ||
| Okay, this one's just funny. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It's funny I can work with. | ||
| So Hunter Biden has begun working as the director of development for an LA homelessness prevention organization called Bosta. | ||
| Now, Hunter said that Bosta protects people from eviction and they're the only group, at least in Southern California, that represents undocumented. | ||
| So they don't take federal money. | ||
| So his mission is to prevent the eviction of illegals that don't pay rent now. | ||
| He's running drug rehab to prevent the evil. | ||
| No, it's some sort of organization where you can't be kicked out of your head. | ||
| Oh, wait, did I just add drug rehab into that myself? | ||
| Am I just, wow, my brain is coming back online. | ||
| I heard Hunter Biden and then I immediately thought drug rehab. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| See when you see what's happening, the thing is like starting to whirr again. | ||
| It's like when you remember the old days, you turn on a computer, it would be like ring, ding, ding, ding, ding, like, yeah, something's happening. | ||
| So I just completely made that up. | ||
| All right, put that aside for a sec. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, that's just, well, congratulations. | ||
| He's probably the new party leader. | ||
| Well, and I figured that he saw they lost 24 billion to these NGOs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Oh, that's interesting. | ||
| And, you know, saw opportunity there. | ||
| I just don't understand. | ||
| I genuinely do not understand the mindset of someone who now, at this point, in 2025, would be like, oh, our main thing is that we should be keeping illegals here. | ||
| Like, it's so, it's so profoundly insane. | ||
| Like, if I illegally got, name a country, literally any country. | ||
| Okay, Nigeria. | ||
| If I literally showed up in Nigeria one day as a visitor and then six years later, I had just never left, would I, and then the Nigerians came to my door and were like, Dave, what are you doing here still that you were supposed to be here on vacation? | ||
| I wouldn't expect the Nigerians to keep me there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
When I was in Mwwana, I had to show proof that I was leaving. | |
| They're like, and when are you exiting the country? | ||
| I'm like, oh, okay. | ||
| Just to get in, you had to prove that you were leaving. | ||
| They're like, when's your exit ticket? | ||
| I really want to do safari in Rwanda. | ||
| Was it a safari that you did? | ||
| It was to go see the gorillas, the gorilla safari. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The kids. | ||
| And then went to Tanzania and Kenya. | ||
| But you know what's crazy? | ||
| I have just picked up my kids because they were with my ex in Los Angeles. | ||
| So I go to LA to get the kids. | ||
| And I actually posted this video. | ||
| This was in July. | ||
| So you were still here. | ||
| And it looked like the, I know it's not politically correct to say it, but I want the impact. | ||
| It looked like the third world. | ||
| And it was 10 minutes from Beverly Hills. | ||
| It wasn't Skid Row. | ||
| It was garbage everywhere, intense cities. | ||
| And just, it was, it looked. | ||
| Oh, yeah, I live there. | ||
| I've seen it. | ||
| Then I go to Rwanda. | ||
| There's kids playing soccer at 10 o'clock at night. | ||
| There's not a piece of trash on the streets. | ||
| There's like gorillas building nice hospitals. | ||
| Dave, and I was like, wow, talk about the upside-down world right now. | ||
| So you make a very good point. | ||
| I have a lot to talk to you about on immigration. | ||
| So I'm not going to get into it right now. | ||
| Hunter went on, by the way, to talk about how Melania Trump was introduced to DJT by Epstein. | ||
| There's a video of this, of course. | ||
| Take a look. | ||
| Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. | ||
| The connections are like so wide and deep. | ||
| Anyway, why do we think they don't want the files released? | ||
| And do we believe the crack at it? | ||
| No, of course not. | ||
| But here's what I did find interesting. | ||
| So I guess Daily Beast kind of ran with this. | ||
| And long story short. | ||
| But Daily Beast is utter garbage, utter, utter, utter garbage. | ||
| They're all garbage. | ||
| I mean, they're all garbage. | ||
| It's all lies. | ||
| And it's lies on purpose. | ||
| And the only way I'm beginning to realize personally that you can stop it is by pursuing it legally. | ||
| So she turned around and threatened Hunter Biden with a billion dollar loss. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| Over his defamatory remarks. | ||
| She demanded a retraction and removal and an apology. | ||
| But basically, they forced the Daily Beast to retract it. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And did he personally retract it too? | ||
| So he didn't put yourself in the middle of the day. | ||
| I don't believe he did. | ||
| Phoenix, am I wrong about that? | ||
| I don't think he did, Dave. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But the Daily Beast did. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| I know. | ||
| And I've got to tell you, he has been obviously on a tear going after all of these legacy media. | ||
| I might even call it. | ||
| One of the last things before I left was his crazy podcast where he just like tore everybody a new one, all of the Democrats. | ||
| It's working, though. | ||
| It is working. | ||
| And I personally am taking a few tricks from him right now because if you don't do that, they'll just fly out lie. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And it's wild. | ||
| You can provide proof like this is not true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And they do it anyway and completely disregard it because the narrative is so strong. | ||
| The incentive to paint certain pictures is so strong and so divisive. | ||
| So he's been pursuing all of this legally and it is working. | ||
| And you see it with the Daily Beast, which is somewhat encouraging. | ||
| But who has hundreds of thousands of dollars to go after it legally all the time? | ||
| So they push the envelope. | ||
| It is partly when I mentioned that really the only sort of political thing I was thinking about was this inviting on the right thing. | ||
| Like so much of it is just based in how social media is exacerbating and amplifying lies, like just lies and nonsense and reconstructionist history and just like all of this craziness. | ||
| But what do we do about that, right? | ||
| Like I don't know that there really is no like truly clean answer if you're for free speech. | ||
| And then in this, we have this weird thing where at some level, if you don't have moments like this where someone who has the means will use the machine to push back on a lie, then there will be no way to decipher truth at all. | ||
| So it's like you don't want the wife of the president to have to feel like she has to sue a freaking stupid drag, you know. | ||
| But on the other hand, otherwise it just goes and goes and goes and goes. | ||
| And what is that? | ||
| Like we need something, like the truth is like the anchor basically. | ||
| Consequences. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I, again, like I'll, I'll, I'll fill you in on some of it as the show goes on, but I've experienced it now personally and you have to take action. | ||
| You can provide, like, this didn't happen. | ||
| I have the proof. | ||
| And they just negate it. | ||
| Jillian, my friend, it's right out of camera over there, but that is a front page New York Times Sunday piece from about six years ago with me on the front page calling me basically the head of the alt-right. | ||
| I mean, what do you do? | ||
| What do you do? | ||
| I talked to lawyers about suing them and they were basically like, yeah, if you want to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to be in an endless lawsuit that you probably won't win because you're a public person, they'll drain you forever and they have endless resources. | ||
| So what do you do? | ||
| Again, like that's something that we all are just going to have to figure out more and more, especially as AI continues and fakes and blah, blah, blah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| So far, I'm not sensing anything too crazy here. | ||
| All right, this one's a little bit more. | ||
| Kamala's out, Biden, crack, okay. | ||
| Okay, so this one's a little bit nuts. | ||
| So Tulsi Gabbard and Russia Gate, you didn't catch any of this, did you? | ||
| I know she's been trying to expose some things. | ||
| Okay, yeah. | ||
| Well, I think, like, yeah, two days before I left, she basically said that Hillary, there was some stuff around Hillary and Russia. | ||
| The long and the short of this, and then I'll break it down bit by bit here, is she's basically saying that Obama and Hillary Clinton and now George Soros's Open Society Foundation concocted this entire Russia Gate thing. | ||
| That Obama was told by a clapper, his DNI, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, there's nothing to see here. | |
| Russia didn't collude in any effective way on behalf of Trump. | ||
| And they said, kind of do it anyway, right? | ||
| So. | ||
| So some of that was breaking just as I left. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Now, there were some emails that were purportedly found from this guy, Leonard Bernardo. | ||
| Okay, so this guy was the regional director for Eurasia at the Open Society Foundations. | ||
| Okay, now this guy claims he's never seen these emails before. | ||
| But I copied one for you because I wanted to read it verbatim, this little section from it. | ||
| So one of these emails stated that Hillary Clinton had approved a campaign advisor's idea, quote, about Trump and Russia hackers tampering with U.S. elections. | ||
| That should distract people from her own missing email, especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level. | ||
| The point is making the Russian play a U.S. domestic issue say something like a critical infrastructure threat for the election to feel menace since both POTUS and V.POTIS have acknowledged the fact I see would speed up searching for evidence that is regrettably still unavailable. | ||
| This is supposedly a direct email from this guy. | ||
| That all sounds like exactly what happened. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Of course, they deny all of it. | ||
| Now, August 4th, Pam Bondi orders the DOJ to launch a grand jury probe into Russia Gates. | ||
| We've got a video on that one. | ||
| Take a look. | ||
| Well, Will, good to be with you. | ||
| This is coming out of the Justice Department. | ||
| Fox News can confirm that Attorney General Pam Bondi today signed an order directing an unnamed U.S. federal prosecutor to take evidence to a grand jury relating to an alleged conspiracy to tie then 2016 candidate Donald Trump to the country of Russia. | ||
| Now, Fox News reviewed the one-page order just hours ago signed by the Attorney General. | ||
| source familiar with the probe confirms this as well. | ||
| While a DOJ spokesperson declined to comment on this report of an investigation, Fox is told Attorney General Bondi is taking the referrals from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, quote, very seriously. | ||
| The spokesperson says that Bondi believes there is quote clear cause for deep concern, end quote, and a need for the next step. | ||
| Okay, so now Taibbi tells Cuomo that he thinks indictments are going to come down from this. | ||
| So take a look at this one. | ||
| I think there are going to be indictments. | ||
| I was very skeptical on that question even a couple of weeks ago, but I have heard repeatedly from these folks that they understand that this is not a hearts and minds contest and that they are not doing this for a show and that if they don't end up in a courtroom, that they will, this will be a massive political failure for them. | ||
| So I do think that there will be significant indictments. | ||
| I just don't know what for. | ||
| Well, that's interesting. | ||
| Well, has anything else happened subsequently before I came out? | ||
| I mean, it's more of the same. | ||
| Tulsi declassifies files that show former director of national intelligence James Clapper in December complied with Obama's orders to fabricate the Russia hoax before Trump took office. | ||
| DNI Gabbard reveals Clapper sought to compromise normal procedures to rush the Russia Gate hoax intelligence report. | ||
| It kind of goes on and on like this. | ||
| Then the administration revoked security clearances for 37 officials alleging that they weaponized intelligence. | ||
| So that's it. | ||
| But here's what's scary about this is sort of no one cares. | ||
| So that actually is kind of what I was going to say. | ||
| Yeah, sort of no one cares. | ||
| Right, because the top of that you mentioned was right at the beginning of the month, and now we're already into September and these things, they burn hot for a second and then everyone just moves on. | ||
| It's like anything as it relates to COVID. | ||
| No matter how many people you killed or you threw people back in old age homes or you injected children with things, nobody pays the price. | ||
| And when anyone pays the price, it's always the wrong person or a Patsy or something. | ||
| So the only difference I would say, and this is what I've, you know, Tulsi a little bit, right? | ||
| I feel like maybe we've even met her. | ||
| Listen, but we've chatted on the phone a couple times. | ||
| What I can tell you about Tulsi, I know her fairly well. | ||
| I would say she is a good, decent human being who loves this country and really wants to do the right thing. | ||
| I don't know exactly everything in her brain and heart, but like to the extent that I know her on camera and off, that is, I can absolutely say that with confidence about her. | ||
| I don't, she does not strike me as the type of person that would just come in and just kind of make up stuff or placate to the system or whatever. | ||
| It's a little bit like Dan Bongino. | ||
| You could say whatever you want about Dan. | ||
| And I know a lot of people kind of turned on him a few months ago around some Epstein stuff. | ||
| And I was like, this guy has fought for every good thing forever. | ||
| Like, maybe he's not giving you exactly what you want right now, but you got to give him a little bit of grace. | ||
| So look, if indictments start coming, that's different than just, okay, we found some emails and this or that or the other thing. | ||
| So, all right, that's interesting. | ||
| That's something. | ||
| That feels like some newsworthy thing. | ||
| But to your point, it just kind of. | ||
| And like the left completely ignored it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And the right kind of like, oh, something maybe indict, maybe there's something there. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Prison. | ||
| You know, every Twitter feed, prison. | ||
| We want jail to. | ||
| It's also why I'm really trying to focus on the positive stuff happening in the country all the time. | ||
| I think that's because it's the only thing that solves any of this. | ||
| Like, whether you indict somebody or you arrest, like, are we better? | ||
| I'm not saying Hillary Jackson. | ||
| Where's that going to go? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Oh, you're jailing your opponents and it's a slippery slope and then everything's vindictive. | ||
| And that's what I'm saying. | ||
| So like, so we have to be careful. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So we have to be careful what we ask for with that stuff. | ||
| And I think, again, the only thing that solves this, and this is why I'm so bullish on this 2250th anniversary of America thing coming up next year, is that the only thing that solves it is success. | ||
| Success of the country solves it. | ||
| Success is the thing that makes racists be a little less racist. | ||
| You know, like when things are going well, success is the thing that makes you be a little less jealous, that makes you be a little more humble, that makes more people want to cooperate with each other and everything else. | ||
| When things aren't going well, that's when everybody's turned and tried to get everybody and destroy everything. | ||
| And unfortunately, the left has been really good at decimating so many of the good things that I think a lot of people... | ||
| They're completely... | ||
| Everything is just resist. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's the whole thing that's all they're about. | ||
| How boring. | ||
| Is just resist no matter what. | ||
| I've got some good stuff for you on that one that is so freaking crazy that will illustrate the point, I think, better than anything. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And I'll get to that in a minute. | ||
| And I'm sure the audience is pretty clear on what I'm referring to. | ||
| But we'll get to that. | ||
| But everything is just resist at all costs, no matter what. | ||
| And you're going to see it in the news. | ||
| Yes, we must stop all of this good stuff from because then they won't need us. | ||
| That's the thing. | ||
| That's the thing. | ||
| Or we'll never be in power again. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So if we don't position it as crime is good and homelessness is good and illegal immigration is good and red food diet is good, then where are we? | ||
| Because you didn't fix it. | ||
| If anything, it all got worse. | ||
| So I got something cute for you. | ||
| All right, something. | ||
| And it looks like Trump is doing renovations. | ||
| So take a look. | ||
| Oh, they were going to build a ballroom or something. | ||
| That's kind of cute. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mr. President, what are you doing up there? | |
| Come down and talk to us. | ||
| Well, what are you building? | ||
| Are you considering more renovations, sir? | ||
| I actually couldn't quite hear what he said, but, like, we really don't deserve the guy. | ||
| We really don't. | ||
| Like, it is never going to get more real and ridiculous in the good sense and functional in the best sense. | ||
| And it's just never going to get better. | ||
| And it's like, if we can't do what needs to be done sort of politically to turn around some of the stuff that we're always talking about, if this isn't it, if this isn't enough, how does it? | ||
| So what are they doing? | ||
| We're building a second level. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But that's the thing. | |
| I'm like, what do you mean a ballroom? | ||
| Why is he on the roof? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| He's such a lunatic, but like anything's possible. | ||
| He might be, you know, I thought, is he? | ||
| Wait, you'll love this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, what are the zoning laws with the White House, do you think? | |
| You'll love this. | ||
| So we go away with the kids these last few days. | ||
| We were at a little beach place not too far from here. | ||
| And the kids, Luke kept saying, I want to go back to the White House. | ||
| I want to go back to the White House. | ||
| And I'm like, what is he talking about? | ||
| The White House. | ||
| He wants to go to the White House. | ||
| You know, we've read them books about the Statue of Liberty and whatever. | ||
| We want to go back to the White House. | ||
| And then we realized that my house is a big white house. | ||
| And he wanted to go back to the White House the entire time. | ||
| So now he's back at the White House and he's very happy. | ||
| Kids love home at the end of the day. | ||
| They get a little older, though, and then you can take them on kind of crazy adventures. | ||
| But I mean. | ||
| And we are doing renovations here, which Donald Trump could probably do a lot faster and cheaper than what I'm paying the contractors in Miami. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you? | |
| I'll show you what's going on in the middle. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just am wrapping one up in Jackson. | |
| And it has taken years of my life. | ||
| So good luck with that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Keep me in the loop. | ||
| It's good you have a tequila company. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've got a lot to cover, but just make sure you're a pay for order to drink through my sorrows. | |
| God, babe. | ||
| Wait till they don't show up. | ||
| Wait till they're three-quarters of the way through the job and they don't show up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, and then they just vanish and everything is 10 times more. | |
| And oh, yeah. | ||
| Anyway, so that was cute. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Again, so far, I'm not sensing anything crazy or anything. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| No. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Anyway, we'll get there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stuff that I don't love that I'll share with you. | |
| I'll give you a little precursor. | ||
| I think, no, I'm not. | ||
| We'll get there when we get there. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because this is a good one. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So Trump got the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan to sign peace agreements and shake hands after 35 years of conflict. | ||
| Not surprising. | ||
| This is a great one. | ||
| Take a look at that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The President of the United States, the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia will now sign the Joint Declaration on the Outcomes of the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity Summit. | |
| That's really. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They will sign three copies in. | |
| Yeah, reminds me of Hitler. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was just about to give, I wanted to give the guy his due here. | |
| So you know this, but just for anybody watching, I mean, he negotiated peace, even though there's still some little bit of fighting on the borders of Congo and Rwanda. | ||
| I mean, the guy de-escalated the situation in India and Pakistan. | ||
| Cambodia and Thailand border dispute, put it to bed. | ||
| Egypt and Ethiopia, negotiations he hosted in August 2025, put that to bed. | ||
| The Iran and Israel situation seems to be under a ceasefire still. | ||
| The U.S. and the Houthis ceasefire was announced. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, like, he is a president for peace. | |
| It's almost like America is supposed to lead the world, that it's a heavy burden and somebody's got to do it. | ||
| And if it's not us, it's going to be much worse. | ||
| And when we abdicated the duties, as we did for four years under a president whose brain wasn't in his head, that that was a problem, and now we're trying to fix it. | ||
| It's almost like that, don't you think? | ||
| What I find crazy is the people who can't stand him somehow manage to not see anything. | ||
| They never see the good stuff. | ||
| None of it. | ||
| Never see the good stuff. | ||
| Zero. | ||
| Now, I do have to give you a bit of an update on the Ukraine situation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| And I got to tell you, Dee, at the end of the day, I still think it's much ado about nothing. | ||
| The bottom line is we are losing this. | ||
| And we had the off-ramps. | ||
| We didn't take it. | ||
| Putin's winning, and there's really no incentive for him to stop. | ||
| Now, I got to give you the update because I thought we were making progress. | ||
| So here's what happened: Trump brought Putin to Alaska. | ||
| The left went button. | ||
| Oh, they met in person? | ||
| They met in person. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| Okay, I got a lot to show you on this one. | ||
| So they had the all-star foreign policy team together for the negotiations. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The left was like, I can't believe we're bringing them to America. | |
| And it's like, why, though? | ||
| Why would you, why would that be an issue? | ||
| As Trump says, I want people to stop dying. | ||
| And I mean, I personally would do anything to make that happen in large part. | ||
| So take a look at kind of the whole throwdown here. | ||
| So here we are. | ||
| I don't know that I necessarily narrow this for you, but they did in fact meet in Alaska. | ||
| All right, they're on the airstrip here. | ||
| And then you've got Trump standing with Putin. | ||
| They're smiling. | ||
| You've got Marco Rubio and Steve Witkoff there with him. | ||
| It was a whole thing. | ||
| And, you know, yeah, I thought we were going to get somewhere here. | ||
| Now, on the 15th of August, Putin says that he hopes the agreement can be reached with Trump and he wants to have peace. | ||
| And Trump says he's going to call Zelensky and NATO regarding this meeting. | ||
| So we got another video on that. | ||
| Take a look. | ||
| If he could bring about the end to this terrible war where Putin is the aggressor invading a neighbor country, trying to change the borders, if President Trump were the architect of that, I'd nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize. | ||
| Now, we jumped ahead a little bit on that one. | ||
| So that's pretty good. | ||
| She kind of sets him up to fail, though, because she basically is like, if we don't have to give up any territory, like, what do you mean you don't have to give up any territory? | ||
| Putin's already winning. | ||
| He's already got it. | ||
| So she's basically, in my opinion, what she does there is essentially say, no matter what happens, even if he brokers peace, he lost. | ||
| Meaning that Ukraine would have to give up some territory. | ||
| They're going to have to give up territory. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| That's just reality. | ||
| That's the point. | ||
| That's what I see her doing is saying, like, there's no way this guy can win because I'm going to set the bar impossibly high. | ||
| Because no one took the off-ramps in 2022 when there were, Putin didn't know how it would play out. | ||
| Now, as mentioned, he is winning. | ||
| So this kind of goes on. | ||
| Putin does say that he can confirm the war wouldn't have happened if Trump was in office. | ||
| Whatever, whatever the hell that means. | ||
| Trump then says on August 16th that Russia and Ukraine should go directly to a peace agreement and instead of a ceasefire. | ||
| There's the Hillary thing, like, oh, yeah, if he could pull this off, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| Now, here's something cute. | ||
| Zelensky shows up in a suit. | ||
| Wow, we got a suit? | ||
| Somebody went to HM? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, let's roll this. | |
| Okay, so he gets the whole like EU. | ||
| All the leader Macron's there. | ||
| Merz is there. | ||
| Frickin' Maloney, the whole NATO-Europe situation. | ||
| They're all there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
we got a 40-second video of that one I think in the past two weeks we've probably had more progress in ending this war than we have in the past three and a half years | |
| I really want to thank you, President of the United States, dear Donald, for the fact that you, as I said before, broke the deadlock. | ||
| Basically, with President Putin by starting the dialogue in that. | ||
| You know, if I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that's a pretty, I want to try and get to heaven if possible. | ||
| I'm hearing I'm not doing well. | ||
| You really hit the bottom of the totem pole. | ||
| If I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons. | ||
| Well, I well, all right, this all sounds good, but I'm guessing nothing's happening here. | ||
| Nothing's happened yet. | ||
| Nothing's happened yet. | ||
| I mean, we do have here's some bottom line is that Bill Maher praised Trump because he, quote, really does not like war. | ||
| I mean, you know, Bill comes out and we'll call Ball since Rich still loves Gavin Doosome, which I can't understand. | ||
| We got a video of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Oh, no, Bill, don't know. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| I see that today is the anniversary of Woodstock. | ||
| This is a 56 years ago. | ||
| And the hippies, what did they hate more than anything else? | ||
| War. | ||
| What is it good for? | ||
| Absolutely nothing. | ||
| So if you're the kind of person who says, you know, you can find some good in anybody, this would be the good in Donald Trump. | ||
| He really does not like war. | ||
| I mean, I do love that Bill said that. | ||
| Here's where we're at, though. | ||
| The reality is that Trump has, I'm not sure if you were here for this. | ||
| He's now going to have NATO buy weapons for us and he's going to arm Ukraine. | ||
| So I think that was happening right as I was leaving. | ||
| He's going to have to do it. | ||
| And he's also introducing secondary sanctions. | ||
| So he's putting a 50%, he's raising it from 25% to 50% sanction on India because they're buying fuel from Russia. | ||
| And he's going to try to get people to kick them out of Swift and the whole thing. | ||
| So it's a little bit of like have it both ways. | ||
| The reality is, Victor Davis Hansen says, if you want peace, plan for war. | ||
| Of course, of course that's right. | ||
| Peace through strength. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I think he doesn't have a choice because there's just no, what would be the incentive? | ||
| Honestly, this is not in the notes. | ||
| Just between you and I, when you look at this from the outside, what is Putin's incentive to stop? | ||
| I have said the same. | ||
| People could go back to my, when did this all start? | ||
| Three plus years ago at this point. | ||
| I've said the exact same thing from day one on this thing, which is at the end of the day, Putin has nukes. | ||
| So yes, did he invade a sovereign country? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Is that a little more complex than usual borders because of the breakup of the Soviet Union and all that? | ||
| Yes, yes, yes, fine. | ||
| But at the end of the day, the guy that invaded has nukes. | ||
| So the idea that, okay, we can give him 20 more tanks or 40 more planes, the Ukrainians, obviously, or this much more money, or pay their pensions or whatever, that as if that's going to end the war at some point. | ||
| It's like, no, that doesn't. | ||
| Because if Putin ever was really losing the war, he has the ultimate weapon. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So what really are we doing here? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| This is a point where I just, to me, you have to just grant Trump a long leash on this. | ||
| He's at least trying. | ||
| Everything. | ||
| He's trying diplomacy. | ||
| He's rearming Ukraine, but not with our tax dollars. | ||
| He's trying secondary sanctions now. | ||
| He's trying everything. | ||
| So what are they saying? | ||
| Like, why is it not working? | ||
| We're waiting on this trilateral meeting between him and Putin and Zelensky. | ||
| But, you know, Melania said this, or Trump said this of Melania, that he goes home after these meetings. | ||
| He's like, everything went great. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Everything's gone so free. | |
| She goes, are you sure? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because he just blew up a bunch of kids and just nailed another city. | |
| I mean, at the end of the day, whether there were off-ramps, whether we wanted this war or not, I don't think anyone can deny that Putin is, he's bananas. | ||
| You know, you're not. | ||
| Damn, he's a former KGB agent. | ||
| He's a crafty guy. | ||
| He's basic, you know, he's been in power for democratically elected a long time. | ||
| You know, like, this is not going to be an easy one, but. | ||
| No. | ||
| I mean, so. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| So that's just kind of. | ||
| Yeah, that's kind of where we're at. | ||
| You know. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So, yeah, okay. | ||
| That's not okay. | ||
| Sanction, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| I mentioned all that to you, okie-dokie. | ||
| Ah, I like this story. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Now then. | ||
| Elon and Trump have agreed on something again, and it is over Big Balls. | ||
| Do you remember Ed Cordestine? | ||
| There was a kid whose screen name was Big Balls or something. | ||
| Yes, he was part of Douglas. | ||
| Yeah, okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| So listen to this. | ||
| This sparked like a huge thing that's going on, and it's a really big deal right now, actually. | ||
| I think for the better. | ||
| Of course, the left is an authoritarian panic. | ||
| Long story short, Big Balls is out with his girlfriend. | ||
| As far as I know, she was his girlfriend. | ||
| So saved a woman from being assaulted. | ||
| I thought there were a couple. | ||
| I'm not totally sure. | ||
| From a bunch of kids, like 14 teenagers, that beat the shit out of Big Balls. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's Big Balls? | |
| That is Big Balls. | ||
| Isn't he cute, actually? | ||
| He's a cute kid. | ||
| So listen to this. | ||
| They beat up Big Balls, who acts like a ginormous hero and tries to save the lady. | ||
| The judge, they catch two of these teenagers, and she basically releases them with no consequences. | ||
| Wait, so they were just attacked, they were trying to steal this woman's car or something, and he just randomly. | ||
| Saved a woman being assaulted by her car. | ||
| I thought it was his girlfriend, and they were together, and he told her to take off. | ||
| Is that the woman, or is that the judge? | ||
| That's the judge. | ||
| So Big Ball stays behind in this act of heroism and gets the crap kicked out of him by 14, I think it was like 14 teenagers. | ||
| Jesus. | ||
| They catch two of these kids. | ||
| Should I ask the ethnic makeup of this? | ||
| Because I'm going to guess that probably alters the story, so to speak. | ||
| There was something unrelated to this. | ||
| So one of the things that is in a really bad place are race relations. | ||
| We have some stuff on it involving me. | ||
| But with that said, there was an issue. | ||
| This is not in here. | ||
| But there was a teacher. | ||
| I think he was a Harvard professor who got the crap kicked out of him by a couple of teens in a movie theater and then turned around and was like, I can't describe them. | ||
| And then, of course, everybody online was like, okay. | ||
| And it begot all of this crazy racist remarks on both sides. | ||
| But the racial makeup was obviously what we think it is. | ||
| Presumably. | ||
| Presumably. | ||
| So he was white and they were black. | ||
| Presumably. | ||
| So I'm not entirely sure what race these kids were. | ||
| But this is not. | ||
| So colorblind, you can have a bunch of people kick the shit out of you and you don't know that. | ||
| You've really been had the kick shit kicked out of you and you don't know what color they are. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'll get to kind of what's gone on with that issue in a little bit. | ||
| But wait, what happened with Big Ball? | ||
| So ready for this. | ||
| So Trump turns around and he's like, Effett, I'm federalizing DC. | ||
| And he took over law enforcement and basically just got everybody on the ground. | ||
| So they read it to you as it's supposed to be, you know, told. | ||
| But the long story short is he gets the guard in the mix. | ||
| And he thought, I mean, but like everybody, the FBI, like everybody actually got involved. | ||
| And the long and the short of this, I mean, there's a video actually. | ||
| Let me show you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, hold on. | |
| Before we get to the video, let me just tell it to you from without the notes. | ||
| So he's like, screw this, I'm taking over. | ||
| And the long story short is, you know, DC's crime is bananas, right? | ||
| It's three times higher than pretty much any blue city. | ||
| The homicide rate is like six and a half times higher than New York and California or Los Angeles. | ||
| And everybody goes crazy. | ||
| The left is going nuts. | ||
| Now, to the credit of the police chief and the mayor, Bowser, right? | ||
| They did say, I have to be honest, they did say, we want to see what we can do with the resources. | ||
| Now, the left has gone wacky because they're like, this is nuts. | ||
| Crime is at a, what is it, like a 30% low? | ||
| I can't remember exactly. | ||
| It's never been lower. | ||
| It's 30% lower. | ||
| However, as mentioned, it's still ridiculously high. | ||
| And there's some evidence to suggest that law enforcement there has kind of been cooking the books on this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| They don't report certain things and change the crimes. | ||
| So there's actually a guy, I made a note of this because I don't want to get his name wrong in all of these notes somewhere in here. | ||
| But long story short, he was like a commander who was put on administrative leave. | ||
| He denies this, but for kind of cooking the books and making more serious crimes, little misdemeanors. | ||
| But the actual police union came out and said it's not just him. | ||
| It's everybody is kind of complicit in this. | ||
| And nevertheless, whether it's true or whether it isn't true, DC's crime is still bananas. | ||
| So he federalizes the guard, and the statistics are Dave, they're incredible. | ||
| Crime plummets. | ||
| Now, I don't have, unfortunately, for some reason, I must have it on another page. | ||
| Here we go, here we go, here we go. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And then I got videos to show you. | ||
| But CNN reported that President Trump's DC takeover produced a drop in crime. | ||
| Now, when I was on CNN, they didn't admit this, so I must have missed this episode of CNN. | ||
| Well, right. | ||
| Last time I saw you, you were going to CNN, right? | ||
| Yeah, I've got a lot to tell you about that, Dave. | ||
| In the meantime, okay, so there was a huge spike in immigration arrests. | ||
| Property crime is down 19%. | ||
| Violent crime is down 17%. | ||
| Robberies and car break-ins are down 40%. | ||
| The U.S. Marshals arrested 141 violent fugitives in Operation Memphis streets. | ||
| Okay, so now let's go to this video. | ||
| Oh, one more thing I want to tell you. | ||
| So he then turns to the homeless shelters and says, I'm cleaning all this up. | ||
| You guys get the choice of rehab, counseling for mental health issues. | ||
| We're going to put you in shelters. | ||
| We got a video of this one. | ||
| So I want you to watch this one. | ||
| So let's see this one, guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can I see this 58-second video here? | |
| In addition, I'm deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law, order, and public safety in Washington, D.C., and they're going to be allowed to do their job properly. | ||
| And you people are victims of it too. | ||
| You know, you're reporters, and I understand a lot of you tend to be on the liberal side, but you don't want to get mugged and raped and shot and killed. | ||
| And you all know people and friends of yours that happened. | ||
| Homeless individuals will be given the option to leave their encampment, to be taken to a homeless shelter, to be offered addiction or mental health services. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can you guys tell us who you are? | |
| Boys, it's a bad one. | ||
| Yeah, I'm good. | ||
| They said I'm good. | ||
| Good class, what am I? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's going on? | |
| Hey, Arie. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Did I do it right? | ||
| All right, well, I don't, I don't know. | ||
| I want that guy on the show. | ||
| No idea. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But the reality is, it's actually working. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm shocked. | ||
| You mean if you tell people that you're going to clean up cities and you actually start doing something, it starts cleaning up cities? | ||
| Is that what you're telling me? | ||
| That's what I'm telling you. | ||
| My God, a lot has happened since I've been gone. | ||
| First off, I love what Trump says there. | ||
| It's so exactly why Trump is great. | ||
| He goes, A lot of you are on the more liberal side, but you don't want to be mugged and shot and raped and murdered. | ||
| And you know the saying, of course, which is a conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged by reality. | ||
| And that's what you, right? | ||
| Like, literally, you, so many of us, so many of the old school liberals all woke up partially because of COVID or because of crime in the cities or whatever it might have been, because suddenly you're like, oh, I would prefer not to be stabbed with a hypodermic needle when I'm going to take my kids to the library. | ||
| So, okay, sometimes it takes a scary conservative to clean things up. | ||
| So, that all seems good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do want to know more about the guy who was just, was that a guy or what the hell was it? | |
| I don't know. | ||
| But it has been, in my opinion, given the statistics, a huge success. | ||
| And as mentioned, the police chief and now, okay, hold on. | ||
| Pam Bondi also basically took away her power to now call it a sanctuary city. | ||
| So they're staging a takeover. | ||
| There should be no such thing as a sanctuary city. | ||
| Like, come on, okay. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, nevertheless, it looks like a staggering success. | |
| Of course, the left is like, it's authoritarian. | ||
| He's taking over our cities. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, my God. | |
| And this is what I mean when I tell you, resist at all costs, because it's like, are you not happy? | ||
| Look at the numbers. | ||
| There's no innocent here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We don't have a story of, oh, they accidentally shot an innocent guy taking his daughter to school because they're such authoritarian monsters. | |
| It's not. | ||
| It's just bad guys going to jail. | ||
| It's not compassionate to have criminals out on the street. | ||
| It's not compassionate to have homeless people setting up encampments and drugs everywhere, like in San Francisco. | ||
| That's not compassion. | ||
| That's the reverse of compassion. | ||
| They have faux compassion. | ||
| That's the thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can I highlight a little hypocrisy for you that I'm sure you're doing? | |
| Okay, so they all went crazy when they cleaned up the homeless encampments, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
But somehow we forgot Gavin Newsom's photo op in 2024. | |
| Remember when he pushed on the Supreme Court to allow him to force cities to clean up the homeless encampments? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And then showed up for the photo op, like taking all the homeless people's stuff and throwing it in the garbage. | ||
| Do we have a picture? | ||
| Is that a problem? | ||
| We definitely have a picture of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But my point is, like, when Gavin does it. | |
| Of course. | ||
| Remember when Xi Jinping came to San Francisco and they suddenly managed to get all the homeless people all gone and then they all appeared like three days later. | ||
| Where the hell did they put them? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I hope you gave them all their stuff in the process. | ||
| You know he's grinding them up and using them as hair jail. | ||
| I get so agree. | ||
| I agree with you. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| Now here's where this gets a little nuts. | ||
| In Trump fashion, he says that he is going to deploy the military to Chicago and then New York and then possibly LA. | ||
| Now, in D.C., he can do that legally, but I don't see how he does it in Chicago, New York, and L.A. I'm not quite sure. | ||
| I get the Insurrection Act. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I have to say that. | |
| Right, I guess it's the Insurrection Act, right, for crime, because that's different than when you deploy to find illegals, which is the job of the federal government. | ||
| So have they done any of this yet? | ||
| Not yet. | ||
| But it has been such a staggering success. | ||
| And it's so funny because the left is like, oh, yeah, until it comes to a city near you. | ||
| And I was like, oh, yes, please. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Come clean up LA. | ||
| Can LA be next? | ||
| You know, it's so funny. | ||
| One of the things that I thought of a lot during the month is because I was just doing things around the house and I'm like here and just doing errands and just stuff here in Miami. | ||
| It's so clean. | ||
| It's so pleasant. | ||
| It's so safe. | ||
| You go out at night. | ||
| There's no, you know, it's not that nothing happens here, right? | ||
| There's no perfect system, but it's just, it functions the way it should. | ||
| So that's another reason why my general sense I thought might be a little bit off because I was like, oh, I'm just around, I'm in my bubble here that is a goodness bubble because of, it's not a miracle, though. | ||
| It's not, it's just not, it didn't just like come out of nothing, right? | ||
| It didn't just like peer out of osmosis. | ||
| It came out of proper governance and really good people that realized that they should have some skin in the game and get involved and then it turns into proper policing and all those things. | ||
| So yeah, if he suddenly was like, I have to send the troops to Miami, I'd be like, all right, now we got a problem here. | ||
| But sending them to the places. | ||
| You saw what happened over in Chicago over Labor Day, did you? | ||
| Wait, yesterday? | ||
| Over the whole Labor Day weekend. | ||
| I didn't. | ||
| Shootings, deaths. | ||
| You know, I've been off the grid for the month. | ||
| Even the Labor Day, I thought maybe you caught something. | ||
| No, nothing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, no. | |
| That's not. | ||
| There were shootings in Chicago? | ||
| I mean, yeah. | ||
| The usual pretty bad. | ||
| So that's our. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How many? | |
| How many? | ||
| I mean, there's always shootings in the middle. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like 50. | |
| Oh, that's even more. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know how many were killed. | |
| Phoenix, how many? | ||
| I've been trying to sort of, there's video of it and people on the ground and there's bullets flying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So is it compassionate to just be like, all right, we're going to give the city up to the warlords? | ||
| Like, of course not. | ||
| I have to wonder, this is kind of my point. | ||
| I've got some such crazy shit to show you, but this is sort of my point with the left where it's just resist at all costs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And you make great things out of horrible things. | |
| But all those people on the streets, it's awesome. | ||
| The thing is, it's so. | ||
| So is it not obvious to you as a, let's say, more recent convert or whatever you want to call it? | ||
| Isn't it not obvious to you that the last liberals, so the Bobby Kennedys and the Tulsi's and the you and me and Rogan, whoever that thing was, Elon, all these people, we were the last bulwark on the left before the crazy was there and it was growing and growing and growing and we all saw it and identity politics and pronouns and blah blah blah and everything's racist and there was this there was like a group of us right like originally it was jordan peterson and sam harris and this there was like this group of us that were trying to do it then it kind of expanded and then at some point enough of us were like all right we're | ||
| jumping ship and we're gonna hang with the conservatives for whatever differences we have and we're good but we all love the country we love freedom and we love goodness and law and order and blah blah and now there's just nobody left so what happens you end up basically in like a bane batman situation where the scarecrow is doing fake trials and then they're sending people out onto the ice that's not that far from it no like you're gonna end up in just places where there will be sheer insanity 100 and then there will be people who remove themselves from the insanity that's partly what red | ||
| blue the red blue separation is but it's i think i want to jump ahead and tell you so many things oh god it's so annoying go oh okay okay yes okay i don't okay i can't jump ahead i can't jump ahead i have to scarecrow doing trials if i nailed that one people are trying to prevent and i'll give you an example coming up um now red states are trying to prevent people from blue states moving in and making zero connection to the way they voted with regard to the policy that they | ||
| fled i'm very interested in where you're going with this okay so we'll get there we'll get there um but the long and the short of it is this is working and it's kind of awesome now and i will say that i watched a video uh of a black conservative on youtube and he was saying that black on black crime is is down in dc and he was giving trump props about that because of course you know they're like oh he's he's everybody's so racist the entire right is racist and i i thought that was really | ||
| interesting because you know it's like oh any policing now of black communities is considered racist usually by white liberals and it was very interesting to see a black man saying like huh black on black crime is down huh from the racist president as trump said even you more liberal people you don't want to be raped it's like unless you kind of do and i think in some sense they kind of do actually like in in some weird but all right all right let's go let's go | ||
| i i yeah i don't disagree with you okay immigration okay so now this gets a little this one is highly controversial and i'll get to that in a minute but let me give you the facts so the state department announces on august 28th that nationals of malawi and zambia applying for a b1 b2 business and tourist visa will be required to post up to 15 000 bond deterring visa overstays okay so yeah okay a little all right so now just just throw on downs august 8th the united states court | ||
| of appeals for the district of columbia just vacated judge buzzberg so i'm probably mispronouncing that order holding the trump administration in criminal contempt for deporting illegals under the illegal alien enemies act so that's good yeah that's great going we're going okay superman actor dean king is going to join ice what i i know dean we saw dean at the airport not too long ago yeah all right that's fun okay i wonder if you'll have to i mean he's super mag i don't | ||
| know if you have to wear a mask okay august 9th trump announces the judges can no longer block his policies nationwide um however wait trump announces no the supreme court ruled on the whole like okay one federal judge right can't use nationwide okay however you know there's workarounds obviously by filing a class action lawsuit and you're seeing that with the dreamers the left is already on to that and into it and | ||
| there you have it i you know there's always a loophole that's it both parties look for and this is theirs but he felt very excited about the victory at the time all right marco rubio has halted all visitor visas from gaza california now this is a yeah this looks perfect and sucks such a great This is sad. | ||
| California granted an illegal named Hargender Singh a commercial driver's license, and he killed three people in Florida by performing an illegal U-turn on a Florida turnpike. | ||
| Now, this guy doesn't speak English. | ||
| He failed all English proficiency tests and road sign tests. | ||
| And there's a video of this one. | ||
| The White House's rapid response social media account reposted a video of the accident with a statement criticizing the state of California for granting Singh a commercial driver's license. | ||
| The White House posting this. | ||
| This individual is an illegal immigrant who was granted a commercial driver's license by the state of California. | ||
| And now three innocent people are dead. | ||
| A White House spokesperson adding, this is a devastating tragedy made even worse by the fact that it was totally preventable. | ||
| Illegal aliens that have no legal right to be in our country certainly should not be granted commercial driver's licenses. | ||
| I mean, how absolutely insane. | ||
| Like, okay, so fine, the guy comes in. | ||
| That's one of the things that we already know. | ||
| Okay, so a gajillion people have done that. | ||
| How do you give the guy a commercial driver's license? | ||
| So that's illegal. | ||
| Here's what he did. | ||
| He did what everyone's doing and tried to use the asylum loophole, right? | ||
| So by the way, who's running for their lives from India? | ||
| There's no genocide happening there. | ||
| He's not. | ||
| Nevertheless, there's no credible criteria. | ||
| Obviously, you've never had day-old butter chicken grueling on the stomach. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| I mean, listen, you make a good point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I didn't find that when I was researching this story, but possibly that's it. | |
| Nevertheless, he comes here illegally in 2018, does the I Need Asylum game. | ||
| Of course, the case is yet to be adjudicated. | ||
| And given Biden's policies, he was allowed to apply for a work permit. | ||
| So while you wait, which can take like seven to ten years. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So the whole asylum system has been backed up because of this, and true refugees are being denied relocation and so on and so forth. | ||
| So nevertheless, this guy knows the game, plays it, he gets the work permit, and then he essentially games the system with translators and somehow pretends he can speak English because you do have to speak English to get the license in California. | ||
| So in all fairness, not to get into the country, just to get the license. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Just to get the license. | ||
| So he somehow games the system and pretends he can speak English to get this license. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And in all fairness, I would love to say, oh, Gavin Newsome. | |
| And you know, I cannot stand Newsome. | ||
| But the reality is the guy did follow all the rules to get the work permit. | ||
| And, you know, these are all our policy problems that need to change. | ||
| Sure, that's really not an excuse of Newsom because he's still the chief executive of the state that's allowing a lot of stuff to happen. | ||
| Listen, I totally agree. | ||
| But the thing, like, you're supposed to speak English. | ||
| He somehow gamed the whole, like, there was no rule that he didn't have to speak English or know how to drive. | ||
| He just found a way to pretend like he did. | ||
| So there's that. | ||
| And he ends up killing a bunch of people. | ||
| So in response to that, Marco Rubio froze the issuing of all worker visas for commercial truck drivers. | ||
| And he states that foreign drivers operating tractor trailer trucks are endangering Americans and undercutting the livelihoods of American truckers. | ||
| And then I gave you the whole background on this guy. | ||
| Now, here's one thing to note. | ||
| And this is important. | ||
| His initial application for a work permit was denied under the Trump administration in September 2020. | ||
| But it was approved under the Biden administration in June 2021. | ||
| Well, good for Rubio. | ||
| Look, you should not have illegals driving trucks cross country. | ||
| We have to deal with this. | ||
| Either we deal with this now, this is the one opportunity we will have as a nation to deal with this stuff. | ||
| Europe, it's too late for most of Europe, certainly Western Europe, not Eastern Europe. | ||
| So we either deal with this stuff right now or we don't. | ||
| So good for Rubio. | ||
| And by the way, like truckers, truckers who are usually amazed, do you know any truckers? | ||
| Truckers are incredible people, actually. | ||
| When I had a show on SiriusXM like 15 years ago or something, most of the Collins, the people that would call onto the show, were truckers. | ||
| They're just listening to stuff all day. | ||
| I found them to be the most thoughtful, smart, interesting because they just have time to think about the world and drive across the country. | ||
| It's a really interesting psychological makeup of someone that's a trucker that spends their life basically, you know, like going like this all the time. | ||
| They're going to be replaced by robots anyway, like so many other things. | ||
| So the idea that you'd be, you know, it's sort of like when they say, okay, bring in the illegals, they have someone else to pick our tomatoes. | ||
| It's like, okay, well, the robots are going to pick our tomatoes soon, and then what are you going to do with those people? | ||
| So good for Rubio. | ||
| The one thing I will tell you that I'm observing is a little bit of pushback on the right, actually, on this. | ||
| And you're starting to see somebody know a good, hard-working, tax-paying person who's entered the country illegally. | ||
| And as it's affecting people personally, you're starting to see them. | ||
| Oh, well, they're upset that their housekeeper is not going to be as cheap. | ||
| I mean, I'll give you an example. | ||
| That's the truth, actually. | ||
| Okay, not that one. | ||
| I actually hate that example because, of course, it's like a way to maintain like a serfdom of this class that just stays your housekeeper forever because she's not here legally and has no upward mobility because of that. | ||
| And that is gross, but not so much that. | ||
| And, you know, I was watching Officer Tatum. | ||
| Do you ever watch that? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, buddy. | ||
| And there was a lady that ran a restaurant and she was here for 30 years. | ||
| And he basically was saying, if we don't find a way for good people who want to do the right thing to get a path to citizenship, the other side's going to do it and they're going to win those voters over. | ||
| There's got to be a way to allow and facilitate good, hardworking people to contribute, to pay taxes, to take, you know, to give more than they take, which traditionally, when immigrants are allowed to come in legally, their kids do better in school. | ||
| They start more small businesses. | ||
| They have huge upward mobility. | ||
| They pay more into the system than they take. | ||
| But the way the laws have been set up, especially because of the Biden administration, you're seeing this people killed on a turnpike in Florida. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So that incident obviously is horrific. | ||
| I'm guessing nobody really knows their names, right? | ||
| We never know the names of the people that get killed. | ||
| We only know the name of the bad people, which is also a cultural problem. | ||
| As for that specific thing, I mean, look, we all have that. | ||
| Hopefully everyone has a little of that humanity in them, right? | ||
| So this woman that's been here 30 years that raised a family and that basically did everything right. | ||
| Like, is the goal of all of this to eliminate all of those people and upend so much? | ||
| Most people, I don't think, really think that. | ||
| The problem is, I mean, we've come back to this 10 times already, but the problem is the left has gone so crazy with everything. | ||
| And they never give credit nor an inch to the right on anything that there's no, the amount of people on the right that would naturally have sympathy to a lot of that are basically like, F it, F it, we're just going to do what we got to do. | ||
| And at the end of the day, you either have laws or you don't. | ||
| So I don't know what the answer to that is. | ||
| Most people in their hearts of hearts, are you trying to rip away the 36-year-old woman with one kid who's here working, that is legal, that loves America and everything else? | ||
| Most people, the answer is no. | ||
| But either a law exists or no. | ||
| So I don't know exactly. | ||
| And again, what was the country you mentioned before? | ||
| If I went to Zimbabwe, like if I went to Zimbabwe and I was there 10 extra years and they found me, they would kick me out and it would be within their rights. | ||
| So that's why this is so complex. | ||
| And again, it's why everything that the right, let's say, overreacts to is because the left is so insane. | ||
| All they have to do is not be so insane all the time, but now there's nobody left. | ||
| We're insane, though. | ||
| And you know how the right is. | ||
| There's nobody left. | ||
| Woke is dead. | ||
| I'm like, not really. | ||
| It's actually alive and well. | ||
| Well, you haven't mentioned anything out of New York City yet with the election. | ||
| I'm very curious about that because that's the recalibration of woke. | ||
| I'm about to get there. | ||
| Yeah, if Bernie was the architect, like this is what the. | ||
| All right, we'll get there. | ||
| Okay, so what else do I have for you here on this one? | ||
| August 18th, stats show that ICE is deporting 1,400 illegal immigrants today. | ||
| State Department revokes over 6,000 student visas over assault. | ||
| Supportive terrorism and overstays. | ||
| August 19th, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu opened her Boston press conference against Trump's crime crackdown with seeing. | ||
| Okay, we've got a video. | ||
| Don't count. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Everybody, oh, yeah, oh, yeah. | |
| Yeah, good. | ||
| Keep going, Democrats. | ||
| Keep going, Woo. | ||
| Who had a Christmas? | ||
| Remember, you know, she's the mayor of Boston who had the Christmas party only for her colored employees. | ||
| Like, like, okay, okay. | ||
| Keep going, ladies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| All right. | ||
| The United States immigrant population is now declining for the first time in 50 years. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| August 23, the State Department reviewed 55 million visa holders for deportable violations. | ||
| August 23. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| This one's whackadoodle dandy. | ||
| All right, you ready? | ||
| Woo! | ||
| So Kilmar Obrego-Garcia. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| It looks like he's going to be deported to Uganda in response to this. | ||
| To Uganda? | ||
| Yeah, here's why. | ||
| You got to be kidding me. | ||
| No, I'm not because he's here under his asylum claim, as you know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But if you're afraid to go back to your country, oh, we send it in. | |
| We still have a deportation order on good old Kilmar. | ||
| So if we have a deal with a third-party country who's willing to take him, I mean, he's already got the deportation order. | ||
| So if we can't send him back, we're Al Salvador, right? | ||
| Wait, so we're sending a simple Maryland man. | ||
| Just a regular Maryland man. | ||
| Now I've got more for you on this one. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| People were so upset. | ||
| They love this guy. | ||
| Again, they don't care about. | ||
| A vigil for him, okay? | ||
| Where Glenn Ivey, one of the congressmen in Maryland, showed up and they sang and they prayed and they cried and they wept. | ||
| And for anybody who's been living under a rock that isn't familiar with Kilmar, beat his wife. | ||
| Did we have a video of that? | ||
| I mean, we have a little. | ||
| Can I say I like videos of these people crying? | ||
| I like the colours. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they cry they sing. | |
| Yeah, yeah, I like it. | ||
| And of course, the gays are out for Kilmar. | ||
| Just like human trafficker. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So we have a video on that. | ||
| We're pulling that up. | ||
| But long story short, Christy Noam, listen to this. | ||
| As we were talking about the media earlier, omitting facts and lying and manipulating narratives, she gives a whole speech about Kilmar and bye-bye Kilmar and this is what we know about Kilmar. | ||
| And it's like soliciting nudes from minors and beating the crap out of his wife. | ||
| He beat his wife with a boot. | ||
| He was a human trafficker. | ||
| Being a human, the whole thing, right? | ||
| And they have got informants that have come forward. | ||
| Long story short, CBS edits all of that out of her speech or talk or whatever, her press conference. | ||
| And it looks like they're going to sue CBS. | ||
| And CBS goes, we were just cutting it for time. | ||
| She cut out the part about him being the scum of the earth. | ||
| And the left is holding a vigil for Kilmar. | ||
| This is the guy who's going to be. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bless you and keep you. | |
| El Senor Te Bendiga y Teguarde. | ||
| It's perfect. | ||
| Here we are and shouting with my mind. | ||
| I really forgot about some of this stuff, like that this stuff exists, like the fake rabbi, the queer morons, the like, are these real people? | ||
| Is this real life? | ||
| Remember that video 20 years ago, the kid who had his tooth taken out, daddy, is this real life? | ||
| Like, that's what this is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
These absurdly ridiculous buffoons. | |
| Send them all to Uganda. | ||
| Well, see, that's this is exactly what you're talking about. | ||
| How the left gets so crazy that the right is like, I can't anymore. | ||
| Yeah, okay. | ||
| Enough of this. | ||
| Which is such a shame. | ||
| And I can't figure out of all the people to hang your hat on, the guy's name is literally Kill Mars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Kill him! | |
| Kill. | ||
| Yeah, the left is crazier than ever. | ||
| All right, we got some stuff on social issues. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is about to get good. | |
| Brown University made a deal with Trump to regain federal funding, which includes paying $50 million and scrapping affirmative action. | ||
| Great. | ||
| I mean, the Supreme Court already decided on that. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Done. | |
| Oh, you're not going to choose people to come into your school based on race? | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Welcome to 2025. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| A lot on left for you. | ||
| Come in now. | ||
| So, with that said, remember how we talked about how some of these red states are trying to blue-proof? | ||
| Yeah, I like that. | ||
| So, Prager Uh-huh has created a test for teachers in Oklahoma that they have to take. | ||
| It's called the America First Test. | ||
| So, take a look. | ||
| We got a little video for you on this one. | ||
| I love it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| So, for anybody who's got teachers in their family in Oklahoma, this is a story you'll probably want to listen to because there are teachers that are relocating there from progressive states who will now be evaluated on the America First agenda. | ||
| Oklahoma, as a state now, is going to require new teachers pass an America First test to keep their license. | ||
| They're going to have to have knowledge of the U.S. Constitution, an understanding of American exceptionalism, a grasp of fundamental biological differences between boys and girls. | ||
| Perhaps for some, this sounds like common sense. | ||
| I mean, you have to love the fact that it's like, understand the Constitution. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What are the facts? | |
| That's pretty good. | ||
| And then, do you know the difference between boys and girls? | ||
| I am completely for this. | ||
| I love the fact that Prager U is involved with it. | ||
| That is a hundred, that is spectacular because otherwise, all of the recently mugged and murdered and raped liberals will come down. | ||
| They will vote the wrong way and they will destroy everything. | ||
| That's why Florida is such a miracle because the liberals who have come down here have become the craziest red people. | ||
| And that's why Miami is now like the most Republican stronghold in the country, even though it was blue 10 years ago. | ||
| So that is great. | ||
| That is wonderful. | ||
| I hope more of that. | ||
| I'm still for telling DeSantis there should be an entry tax. | ||
| We should still dig a moat and throw gators with lasers on their heads. | ||
| You know what's interesting about that one, actually, is I had this fight on CNN, which I am getting to, of how immoral and evil Alligator Alcatraz was. | ||
| But I had a friend. | ||
| I didn't know this at the time when I got into this whole argument because I argued that the cages would be far more offensive, built by Obama. | ||
| My friend's like, you know, that's where the National Guard used to stay, right? | ||
| You think they just pop that up? | ||
| He's like, it was good enough for our military, but we're really upset about people who are here illegally staying there, but we weren't worried when the guard was staying there. | ||
| We drove across Alligator Alley just a few days ago, and I should have stopped and taken the kids for a little time. | ||
| A little visit. | ||
| I know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, so there you have the Prager U situation. | |
| Oh, that's great. | ||
| And mostly it's for teachers coming from California. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| It's like, do you know literally what makes a boy, what makes him a girl? | ||
| You know, the chromosome goes. | ||
| It's anyway. | ||
| Speaking of chromosomes, Nancy Pelosi is working hard to legalize sex changes for kids at the national level after Trump signed an order to protect children from chemical and surgical mutilation. | ||
| I'm sure you're not surprised, but take a look. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How's your office responding to the pauses in gender affirming care here in California? | |
| Well, that is something that I'm working for at the national level, and we have hoping that we can have gender affirming here for our trans kids. | ||
| And that it's a sad thing for us. | ||
| You know, let me try to do this in the most like I said to you at the top, like, I'm trying, I don't want to add, especially on the day I'm back, I don't want to add to like all the hate and everything else. | ||
| That's like kind of demon-level stuff. | ||
| I was going to say, can I? | ||
| Do you mind if I add to it? | ||
| I kid you not. | ||
| I showed it the kids a couple times during the break. | ||
| We watched Spidey and Friends. | ||
| It's like a little animated thing. | ||
| They're only three. | ||
| It's really for like six-year-olds, so David doesn't want me showing it. | ||
| It's then we mostly do bluey. | ||
| But I showed them Spider-Man, and they're both running around pretending to be. | ||
| And then I got them a couple Spider-Man toys. | ||
| So they're pretending to be Spider-Man and Green Goblin and Electro or whatever. | ||
| And like, they'll be like, I'm Spider-Man. | ||
| I'm Spider-Man. | ||
| It's like, but it's a joke. | ||
| And you can see the glimmer in their eyes. | ||
| They know they're not Spider-Man. | ||
| They know they're not Dr. Octopus. | ||
| It's not to say whatever that percentage is and all the stuff. | ||
| I hate making all the excuses. | ||
| It's so boring. | ||
| But for her to be like, we're going to try to nationalize that at this point, lady, go away. | ||
| What are you doing, lady? | ||
| Go play with your grandchildren. | ||
| Go sit with your stocks and watch your money go up every day. | ||
| Just go away already. | ||
| Enough of these demon people. | ||
| I don't know how to describe it. | ||
| Like if the world corrects itself ever, if the earth ever heals, we will look back. | ||
| As Jordan calls, you know, these are butchers, what they have done to young children. | ||
| That is not to say an adult can't dress however they want and blah, blah, blah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But, ugh, evil. | ||
| I can't believe it. | ||
| I mean, still, does she still think that's a winner? | ||
| You think that's a winner, lady? | ||
| Here's my theory on this one. | ||
| Obviously, Big Pharma is one of the biggest lobbies in Washington. | ||
| It is a multi-billion dollar business with a compound annual growth rate of roughly 9%. | ||
| So it's a huge industry. | ||
| One drug alone, like Lupron off-label, which is an off-label cancer drug, right? | ||
| That they're giving to kids is a multi-billion dollar business. | ||
| I think that's what this is about, if I had to guess, because the data is there. | ||
| We had the cast review by Dr. Hillary Cass, one of the top pediatricians out of the United Kingdom, who spent four years doing a systematic review of every single study involving gender-affirming care. | ||
| You've got Schellenberger releasing the WPATH files showing all of the corruption involved in this industry. | ||
| Europe pulls back after the cast review and is like, okay, hold on. | ||
| We got to rethink this whole gender-affirming situation on kids. | ||
| We know it sterilizes them. | ||
| We know it causes sexual dysfunction for the rest of their life. | ||
| It affects their bone development, their brain development. | ||
| Their teeth literally crack in their skull. | ||
| It's like, we know all of this. | ||
| There's no way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This isn't like a, oh, I'm worried they're going to kill themselves. | |
| We already know, actually, they're more likely to kill themselves after being transitioned from the regret. | ||
| So she's not an idiot. | ||
| She might be a demon person, but she's not dumb, Dave. | ||
| It's so interesting because it's hard to imagine, it's actually hard to imagine someone selling out at that level for money, right? | ||
| Everyone makes compromises in life, everyone, whatever. | ||
| But someone that would be like, I'm going to literally destroy the lives of, if it's as simple in some sense as what you're saying, right? | ||
| Like that they're just looking at numbers, right? | ||
| Like it's probably like, it's probably not much more complex than you're offering. | ||
| No, it's not. | ||
| Because it's so-so. | ||
| It's not, I promise you. | ||
| No, no, I have the data. | ||
| No, so I'm with you on that. | ||
| But I just, it would be hard to be in the mind. | ||
| Like if we were sitting here truly with Nancy Pelosi and the camera wasn't going, is she really like, I really believe that these children, or is it really the numbers? | ||
| And if it's the numbers, like it's literally like the cash. | ||
| Here'd be my question to you, though. | ||
| If you're going to make a decision with consequences that severe and you're in a position that holds that kind of power, would you not be responsible enough to do the research? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So she's either a complete moron or she's on the take. | |
| So you get no middle of the road here. | ||
| It's not a guessing game. | ||
| There's no plausible deniability. | ||
| The information exists. | ||
| So you tell me. | ||
| I mean, I think that's why I quote them all the time, but about 10 years ago, when I heard my friend Pete Pogozian, who you probably know, say that, you know, when woke enters something, it destroys the entire institution. | ||
| And that's what it's done to these people's brains. | ||
| It's what Gad Sad called the woke mind virus, that it actually then supersedes all the other logic and reason and everything else. | ||
| And then so you end up like the, because the best version of what we'd be saying about Pelosi is she's just misguided, but that just doesn't, like, there's just no way that computes. | ||
| So you're right. | ||
| It's either, it's either you're like corrupt, evil, insane, something, something, or just, you're just a sellout. | ||
| And that's, and I guess the easier answer is probably. | ||
| There's just no way she could be, there's no plausible deniability anymore because the research exists and you have a responsibility to do it. | ||
| We're talking about kids. | ||
| It's also not adults. | ||
| It's also what's so dangerous about what they've done because they've all, it's like when you call someone racist, if it's not racist, you do it for so long that when you wake up and then you're like, oh, maybe that person isn't racist. | ||
| Well, you know now you're going to be called a racist. | ||
| So they're all in on it. | ||
| They're all in on it together. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Okay, I got a question for you. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| What is more likely? | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| The New York Times gave me a fair shake in my op-ed, or CNN launched a national campaign to brand me as a racist. | ||
| Oh, you made some news. | ||
| That's nice. | ||
| Well, I would say it's definitely possible the New York Times gave you a fair shake in an op-ed because they occasionally do that. | ||
| What the New York Times always does is they lead with insanity and then they suddenly throw something in that's sane so that the few people that have neurons firing stay subscribed, something like that. | ||
| So that strikes me as very much what the New York Times might do. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| And the other one was, did CNN launch a campaign to destroy you? | ||
| That seems, yeah, that seems likely. | ||
| So. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my God, you've got it. | |
| I'm sure. | ||
| Yeah, that's. | ||
| I've been around the game a while, sister. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Okay, so this is important because it ties back to this whole thing with Trump wanting to pull federal funding from the Smithsonian museums because of certain exhibits that we're going to get into in just a moment. | ||
| But he wants to revisit some of these installations, some of these exhibits within the Smithsonian museums. | ||
| And of course, the left has gone bananas on this, right? | ||
| So I reach out. | ||
| I'm going on CNN. | ||
| And I must admit that I was warned by you. | ||
| And I was warned by you. | ||
| We should play that clip. | ||
| That was it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I wondered by Megan Kelly as well. | |
| And, you know, it's like, but it is very, I don't regret it. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| It's a conversation that we need to have. | ||
| CNN might obviously not be the form where you're allowed to have it. | ||
| I do think it's imperative that we bridge ideologies, we talk to the other side. | ||
| That's clearly not the point of Abby Phillips' show on Phillips' show on CNN. | ||
| So nevertheless, this is coming up, right? | ||
| So I get the list of topics, and one is the Smithsonian. | ||
| And I know exactly where they're going to go. | ||
| And I've just gotten back from Africa, by the way, Dee, so I'm out of the loop, like you are. | ||
| And I'm like, oh my God, I got to jump back into this. | ||
| I don't really know anything about this. | ||
| And I reach out to the comms team at the White House. | ||
| And I say, like, hey, you know, this is going to come up. | ||
| Can you tell me, like, what is the goal here? | ||
| Because it is the Smithsonian. | ||
| And I'm thinking, like, why are we revisiting? | ||
| I know nothing about what's in there, nothing about what's controversial. | ||
| And they send me 50 pages. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And it's all just like woke exhibitions. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That seems banana pants. | ||
| So it's stuff like a white culture poster that has subsequently been removed where it talks about how we're inherently. | ||
| It's stuff comparing George Floyd and Che Guevara to Jesus. | ||
| It's stuff where they talk about Cuban immigration to the United States and they completely neglect to mention Castro and just make it about how the United States government backed Batista for their own financial gain and because of this white government did this and that's why Cubans left and that's what brought on the Cuban Revolution. | ||
| Don't even mention Castro one time. | ||
| And then they get into gender testing in sports. | ||
| Just all the stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, right. | |
| Yeah, I got it. | ||
| So, okay. | ||
| So now this comes up and I know in my mind that they're going to try to pretend like it is about erasing slavery. | ||
| And I know that there is not one installation that the administration has taken umbrage with that is about slavery. | ||
| Now Trump has subsequently gone on to say, look, it's all about like bad guys, white, bad guys, and slavery, but why don't we have some good stuff in there too? | ||
| So that kind of came out later. | ||
| So here's what happened. | ||
| Take a look. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Gone into the Smithsonian. | ||
| He's effectively now has some random person deciding what is appropriate for the Smithsonian to teach in terms of American history, things that don't offend parts of the MAGA base, right? | ||
| So we're now literally reviewing parts of American history and parts of American culture to make sure it comports with Dear Leader and what the MAGA is. | ||
| Can we address some of those things that are in there? | ||
| Because have you looked at some of the things that are being relevant? | ||
| Yeah, slavery was a bad thing to talk about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Like he forgets. | ||
| He's not whitewashing slavery. | ||
| He's not. | ||
| He's not. | ||
| No. | ||
| He's not. | ||
| And you cannot tie imperialism and racism and slavery to just one race, which is pretty much what every single exhibit does. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But look. | |
| You have a lot of stuff in front of you. | ||
| Yeah, I do. | ||
| Because I don't think this here's what you're talking about. | ||
| Okay, I'll give you an example. | ||
| Yeah, please. | ||
| There's one called Change Your Game, right? | ||
| This has been an installation there. | ||
| Is gender testing fair in sports? | ||
| Does that, and then it goes on to talk about how it's complex to do gender testing in sports. | ||
| It's not complex. | ||
| It's basic science. | ||
| That's untrue. | ||
| It's XX chromosome, XY chromosome. | ||
| That's sports. | ||
| Is it fair to have biological men competing against biological women in sports? | ||
| No, but why is this in the Smithsonian? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So it's been completely captured. | |
| First of all, I don't know. | ||
| And it's totally. | ||
| First of all, we don't have time to litigate. | ||
| Of course we don't, because then you're going to do the argument. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And everything is racialized, just like you're trying to do to me now. | |
| So this took a bit of a turn. | ||
| So here's what happened. | ||
| So we're supposed to be in the middle of a conversation about the Smithsonian. | ||
| So Julie Roginski is so smug. | ||
| And I'm about to nail her because I know she's making the whole thing up about slavery because she has no idea what's even in there, right? | ||
| So I'm like, no, he's not, with extreme confidence. | ||
| And I'm like, by the way, sidebar, this has been going on for thousands of years. | ||
| Like, stop demonizing just one race because nothing good is going to come out of that, right? | ||
| So I'm about to list all the things you and I just talked about. | ||
| And all of a sudden, Abby Phillip and Richie Torres go, I can't believe you're trying to relitigate slavery in America. | ||
| I go, I'm not. | ||
| I just told you slavery's been around for thousands of years. | ||
| And we continued, they're like, oh, this is a system of oppression. | ||
| And now we're having two separate conversations, right? | ||
| And I'm like, okay, am I talking about the Smithsonian stuff? | ||
| And like, there's nothing about slavery in the Smithsonian. | ||
| Or I'm sorry, the installations that he's taking umbrage with. | ||
| And by the way, let's talk about slavery. | ||
| So then I'm like, all right, you know what? | ||
| I'm ready to take this on because I come back from Africa and there's nothing but really negative racial stories in the news. | ||
| And it's bad. | ||
| It's like a white woman who had a five-year-old black kid go through her back and she calls them the N-word and then raises like almost a million dollars online like in defense of herself and to try to relocate. | ||
| And then simultaneously, you've got the thing in the movie theater where arguably children of an unknown race beat up the professor. | ||
| Then you've got like two white people who get the crap beat out of them by a black mob. | ||
| That happened right before I went off. | ||
| Okay, so you saw it. | ||
| It was a music festival or something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So for me personally, and this is a bit of a sidebar, not August news, but I've never in my lifetime seen racial issues this bad. | ||
| And I think it is. | ||
| Yeah, because we're children of the 80s and we put all this shit down and these motherfuckers are trying to broke. | ||
| That was my first F mom. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| We're back, baby. | ||
| Yeah, they're trying to rehash and bring back all of the stuff. | ||
| It is working. | ||
| So at this point now, I'm about to take it on, right? | ||
| And I was like, okay, do you realize that less than 2%, and this is from the 1860 census, right? | ||
| Less than 2% of white Americans own slaves. | ||
| And I'm about to continue on to say it ends up going in multiple directions. | ||
| And then I'm like, this has been going on for thousands of years. | ||
| And if we were to continue litigating, because, you know, the argument is, well, the entire South built their economy on it. | ||
| And despite that, the North banned it. | ||
| And people fought and died to maintain it. | ||
| And yes, we have entire cemeteries of people who fought and died to end it. | ||
| It isn't about erasing slavery, but where is the part about the good guys? | ||
| Why is that always left out of the equation? | ||
| Why are you not teaching young white kids about the good white guys that died to end this evil? | ||
| So long story short, Abby Phillip and CNN launch a multi-week campaign in numerous episodes of her show to brand me as a racist. | ||
| She then goes on Kara Swisher's podcast and lies. | ||
| And she's like, I don't know, we were just having a conversation about the arts. | ||
| And she just brings this up. | ||
| And I had to educate her and my whole show know about the history of slavery. | ||
| And she goes on to talk about how I defended white people in a slavery debate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jesus. | |
| And relitigate slavery in America, despite the fact that I said I'm not twice on her show and that this has been going on for thousands of years. | ||
| And this is all going bananas viral and all of a sudden. | ||
| All going bananas viral. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Like, everybody on the right comes out, you know, and like, thank God you said something. | ||
| It's about time we said something. | ||
| Everybody on the left, oh, she's a racist and somebody should call DCFS because she has a black kid. | ||
| And I'm like, this is insane. | ||
| And, D, it's so bad right now in the country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I've got some other clips for you of it, but it's – Let me just give you one take on Abby Phillips. | |
| I don't know if you've heard me talk about her before, but I genuinely – I don't know, I must have said this to you because I was warning you about going on her show. | ||
| You did warn me. | ||
| She is, without question, the dumbest person on television. | ||
| There is nothing behind her eyes. | ||
| She's an idiot who they – who can read off a teleprompter somewhat appropriately. | ||
| And then never – then she looks like a deer in headlights the entire time until either someone tells her to say something or she throws a commercial. | ||
| So there's nothing – she is – we talked about – we started with cogs in the system. | ||
| She is a cog in the system. | ||
| They gave her that chair and they will take away that chair as quickly as they gave it to her one day. | ||
| And then she'll sue them for being racist. | ||
| That's how this game and the script is written. | ||
| Do you know that prior to this, on the episode of her show that I did about the kids at the marijuana farm, do you know she flat out lied on her show and said that it was legal for minors to work at a marijuana farm? | ||
| Oh, I remember that. | ||
| That was a few days, yeah. | ||
| I'm like, I don't think so. | ||
| Yes, it is. | ||
| Of course, it's absolutely not. | ||
| Do you think they issued a correction? | ||
| We stopped – we covered that a few days before I left and I paused the show. | ||
| I said to one of the guys, could we just Google that? | ||
| I'm pretty sure that illegal kids can't work at – Totally illegal. | ||
| They are not allowed to work at a marijuana farm. | ||
| But she drilled down on it. | ||
| She absolutely insisted. | ||
| She contradicted and corrected me despite the fact that I was right. | ||
| Did no correction or apology after the fact. | ||
| I'm like, we were wrong. | ||
| Actually, minors are not allowed to work at a marijuana farm. | ||
| Well, good for you going viral. | ||
| Can I for one second try the meta version of what's happening here, which is that you represent – you're like sort of in this case, you're like the avatar for the new media. | ||
| And because we're still in this fight between old and new media – and it doesn't mean that all the new media is good either. | ||
| But because these things are now so disconnected, what they try to do is they try to then bring on new media people into old media formats. | ||
| And it doesn't work, right? | ||
| Because you have very scripted people with things in their ears, being told what to say, reading things. | ||
| And then you have people like you who are thoughtful and interesting and show nuance, who know what they're doing. | ||
| So it's as if the ingredient doesn't work with the overall what you're trying to bake, basically. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's really deliberate though, Dave. | |
| Like, oh, it is deliberate. | ||
| Of course, it's deliberate. | ||
| Like the conversation of we were just having a talk about the arts. | ||
| Julia Roginski just called parts of the MAGA base racist, made the dear leader, like Nazi Kim Jong-un reference to Trump and then said slavery is bad. | ||
| We should talk about it. | ||
| A conversation about the arts and then claim that I brought it up and lied numerous times about it. | ||
| This is the stuff we were talking about earlier with how do you handle these things with the legacy media. | ||
| I'm working through that now, but I guarantee I'm not letting everybody get away with it. | ||
| That's all I'm going to say right now. | ||
| As John McClain said in Die Heart, welcome to the party, pal. | ||
| I guess so. | ||
| But it's a fight I'm here for, for sure. | ||
| And the last thing I want to say about this, truthfully, is that as a mom to a white boy and a black girl, this stuff distresses me. | ||
| I would say, honestly, more than anything going on in our culture right now. | ||
| And I see young boys, my son's age, leaning towards things that are very far right. | ||
| And, you know, the Tate brothers, like Nick Fuentes, that's deeply alarming to me. | ||
| And the more you demonize these young boys, not my son, but I hear about it. | ||
| He tells me about it. | ||
| The more you demonize these kids, the more you're going to breed a whole new generation of racists. | ||
| Do you remember? | ||
| We've shown it on my show many times. | ||
| There's a clip of Jordan on Rogan, Jordan Peterson, obviously on Rogan from probably about eight years ago. | ||
| And it's at the height of, it was almost before we called it woke. | ||
| So it's like early woke identity politics. | ||
| And Jordan says, maybe we'll play it on my show tomorrow. | ||
| Jordan says, wait till you see what the reaction will be of young white boys who will grow up in this situation. | ||
| So true. | ||
| And again, so everything, whatever people think the excesses are of the right, it's because the left never knows when they've gone too far. | ||
| They have created the condition. | ||
| They own the culture and then they created the conditions to then tell young, I can only imagine being the parent, the mother of a 14-year-old. | ||
| How old did you say your son? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's 13. | |
| He's 13. | ||
| A 13-year-old kid who's grown up in a culture that said you're bad because of your skin color, you're bad because of your sexuality, your gender, all these things. | ||
| These boys are leaning, Dave, not again, like Phoenix has, my son Phoenix, you're Phoenix, has like a sense of the center, and he leans into the Sean Ryans and the Joe Rogans of the world, which is great. | ||
| But the friends, some of them, are leaning very far right. | ||
| And it's very concerning. | ||
| And you're seeing high schools in the middle of the country take back the name of Robert E. Lee and bring back the Confederate flag. | ||
| And I don't think it's because these kids are like Klan members. | ||
| I think it's just a giant F you to this whole kind of demonization of these young white boys. | ||
| And simultaneously, you know, I have a black daughter being raised by all white people. | ||
| It wasn't on purpose. | ||
| Haiti was a country that was open while I was adopting internationally. | ||
| Long story short, like, why do I want my daughter to think all white people are bad? | ||
| I absolutely do not want her to think that. | ||
| In fact, I bought her on this one trip, and then we'll get back to the news. | ||
| We were in New Orleans one summer when she was probably eight. | ||
| And I bought her the diary of a union soldier from one of those antique stores from 1861. | ||
| It's the coolest thing in the world, Dave. | ||
| It's like handwritten. | ||
| And I always wanted her to know, like, as much darkness as there is in the world, there are still good guys. | ||
| And at the end of the day, like, I will stand by it. | ||
| Like, there are good guys that fought to end this. | ||
| And I want my daughter to know not all white people are bad. | ||
| In fact, the vast majority are good. | ||
| So that's the latest. | ||
| They are controversial. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, aren't they? | |
| Well, congratulations on getting in the fray and having Abby go to the rest of the day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So there we go. | |
| Okay, so now, moving on. | ||
| Okay, this is good news. | ||
| Trump economy, the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, announces that Canada will be dropping their retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. and removing tariffs on U.S. goods covered by existing trade deals. | ||
| Got a video on it. | ||
| Let's take a look. | ||
| So let's be absolutely clear. | ||
| Canada currently has the best trade deal with the United States. | ||
| And while it's different from what we had before, it is still better than that of any other country. | ||
| So as we work to address outstanding trade issues with the United States, it's important. | ||
| It's vital. | ||
| We do everything we can to preserve this unique advantage for Canadian workers, Canadian businesses in this context and consistent with Canada's commitment to CUSMA. | ||
| I'm announcing today that the Canadian government will now match, we will now match the United States by removing all of Canada's tariffs on U.S. goods specifically covered under CUSMA. | ||
| Wow, progress. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Surprise, surprise. | ||
| Again, I mean, that's just one of the ones that I was like, yes, David Sachs, I like the line. | ||
| We have to just see where all the deals land. | ||
| And yes, congratulations. | ||
| Now you can buy cheese in Canada from America without a 30% tariff so that nobody was buying American cheese. | ||
| And it seems like he's trying to save face a little bit. | ||
| Okay, good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Get back in negotiations. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Okay, we got a lot to cover on this one. | ||
| So I got to be a bit more rapid fire here. | ||
| So where did we leave you on this whole redistricting chaos? | ||
| I think literally the last day I was leaving, there was just like a bunch of stories breaking on. | ||
| Was it Texas? | ||
| Yes, so the Democrats left and Beto Warke tried to fund their ability to leave. | ||
| And now Ken Paxton is investigating that as though it's like bribery and they're trying to shut down the organization that they've used to fund these Democrats ability. | ||
| Long story short, they get the five seats. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So that's where that's at. | ||
| Wait, the Republicans got the seats in Texas. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| They got the five seats. | ||
| In response to that. | ||
| Oh, hold on. | ||
| This is important. | ||
| A Texas state rep, Jolanda Jones, who fled the state to Illinois. | ||
| So she fled Texas to Illinois to try to avoid their ability to like convene everybody and get the seats. | ||
| She compared it to the Holocaust. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| She compared the redistricting to the Holocaust. | ||
| So, I mean, just because... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, the concentration camps are just a mild redistricting. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Then JD Vance says if we did the census anew right now, we'd have 10 additional Republican seats and nine fewer Democratic seats. | ||
| There's a video, but that's basically the gist of it. | ||
| Okay, now here's where it gets crazy. | ||
| Our favorite person, Gavin Newsom, steps up to the plate. | ||
| And long story short, he puts forward this thing called Prop 50 because California has this whole independent commission against gerrymandering, particularly, right? | ||
| So he says, I want to put forward this Proposition 50 to take them out of the equation. | ||
| And I'm going to respond to what Texas is doing. | ||
| And I want 7% representation for Republicans. | ||
| Now we have 17, I think, percent. | ||
| And I think 38% of Californians are Republicans. | ||
| So this is gone bananas. | ||
| California already has 43 Democratic seats, only nine Republican seats. | ||
| He's on fire with this, and he's like daring Trump to come after him. | ||
| It doesn't look like the Republicans are going to be able to block this Proposition 50 vote in November. | ||
| So now they're in a war over who's gerrymandering worse. | ||
| I kind of hate this across the world. | ||
| My general take would be both sides are going to do it. | ||
| Obviously, I can't speak to the specifics of things that happened when I was gone, but like both sides are going to do it. | ||
| And he has a super majority and it just is what it is. | ||
| And let's not belabor the point of California. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So that's. | ||
| Neither one of us live there anymore. | ||
| Well, they're all now going to do it. | ||
| So you kind of nailed it. | ||
| Missouri is going to redraw their map. | ||
| And it just goes on and on and on and on and on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Now then, 2028 buzz. | ||
| Trump tells Peter Dosi that the heir to MAGA may be JD Vance, maybe Marco Rubio. | ||
| Maybe they'll come together. | ||
| Take a look. | ||
| You said this morning that you probably won't be running for a third term. | ||
| This weekend, Secretary of State Rubio said that he thought J.D. Vance would be a great nominee. | ||
| You could clear the entire Republican field right now. | ||
| Do you agree that the heir apparent to MAGA is J.D. Vance? | ||
| Well, I think most likely, in all fairness, he's the vice president. | ||
| I think Marco is also somebody that maybe would get together with JD in some form. | ||
| It's a great answer. | ||
| It's honest. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| And if it was Rubio and JD or JD and Rubio, no it would be JD and Rubio because I don't think they would switch it the other way, but it would be great. | ||
| How much I think. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not going to see them that man. | |
| No, no, no, of course I'd love to see that. | ||
| But I mean, there's a lot of good choices. | ||
| No, but maybe Tulsi goes to Secretary of State at that point. | ||
| Like, you just never know. | ||
| It's a little early to talk about any of that. | ||
| I kind of, we could punt that one. | ||
| But like, yes, they have a great bench and good people who are competent and could lead the country again. | ||
| That would be perfectly lovely. | ||
| So here's something strange. | ||
| Gavin Newsom has become Donald Trump. | ||
| Actually, you cannot make this up. | ||
| He's tweeting like him. | ||
| He's making merch like him. | ||
| He's got a couple of kids that he hired, and they just copy verbatim literally every single thing that Trump does. | ||
| It's super duper bizarre. | ||
| And for example, Gavin Newsom copies his MAGA hat and says, new merch coming soon. | ||
| You're welcome, Patriots, like all caps. | ||
| He's been trolling people. | ||
| Newsom was right about everything. | ||
| What? | ||
| He's never been right about anything. | ||
| Yeah, I get it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I get it. | |
| He's like, he's trying to become Donald Trump. | ||
| But you can't fake becoming Trump. | ||
| That's the thing. | ||
| You can't fake it. | ||
| Keep going, man. | ||
| Keep going. | ||
| Is that there's nothing authentic about it? | ||
| Like, it's all performative theater. | ||
| Meanwhile, not one home on PCH has been rebuilt. | ||
| Corolla posts his updates and it's like not one home, not one construction crew. | ||
| And this guy is, I so anyway, him and Trump have been doing their usual kind of pissing match and shenanigans and Newsom held a reckoning day. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Independence Day about the gerrymandering news conference. | ||
| And then Trump had an ice raid there and kind of same old, same old. | ||
| All right. | ||
| It's kind of the same shit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| All right. | ||
| Now, this is great. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| DeSantis announced Hulk Hogan Appreciation Day. | ||
| Love it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Love it. | |
| When is it? | ||
| When is it? | ||
| Okay, take a look. | ||
| Today in the state of Florida, I've declared to be Hulk Hogan Appreciation Day. | ||
| In recognition of somebody who was obviously a major figure for many, many decades, particularly for kids. | ||
| People in my generation was a big, big guy and was right there in the Tampa Bay area for many, many decades. | ||
| So all I'll tell you is make sure on this day that you're training, saying your prayers, and eating your vitamins, brother, because he would have wanted you to do that. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| I know it's a bit of a throwaway, but I love it. | ||
| One of the, you know, probably like you, I've met like so many people that I would have ever wanted to meet or like heroes. | ||
| I met Hogan once, got to spend like an hour with him. | ||
| Just me, him, and Jimmy Hart, who is his manager, like wrestling manager. | ||
| And we got like an hour together and gave me a big headlock. | ||
| I have a picture of it. | ||
| And he was just a great human being. | ||
| And to see the way I was at MSG, at the rally, the Trump rally that he came out. | ||
| And that was to me the most, yeah, it's awesome. | ||
| Yeah, he passed right before I went off so good. | ||
| That's a sad one. | ||
| Even better news. | ||
| DeSantis is looking to end property tax. | ||
| So is it going to happen? | ||
| I mean, they've been fighting for it. | ||
| We have been stressing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's going to do it. | |
| And there's a video. | ||
| Should we toss it? | ||
| We can probably. | ||
| Long story short is he's basically worried about people who've retired that can no longer afford it. | ||
| And he goes on to say, like, they just continue to pay this every single year. | ||
| And it's like, it's crippling. | ||
| No, you end up punishing people that live here. | ||
| Meanwhile, we have the number one record tourism for the last five years or something every year in Florida. | ||
| So if you need the revenue, which it's not even clear that we need the revenue because we're such a well-run state, but if you need the revenue, you could charge a little more in taxes for all the tourism stuff, offsetting the property tax. | ||
| Because if you allow people to, you buy your home, you don't have to pay taxes on the value of that land forever, then they can reinvest more in their home. | ||
| I hope he can get it through. | ||
| It's been a big fight. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| Because anyway, I'm impressed. | ||
| I mean, he's actually focused on running his state. | ||
| Isn't that crazy? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's nuts. | |
| I know. | ||
| No merch, just trying to run the state. | ||
| That's where I live. | ||
| So this was, I got to show you this because this is so friggin' bananas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So Mark Carney went to a Vancouver Pride parade. | |
| Yep. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
anything to say? | |
| I yeah Where was Trudeau? | ||
| Where was Trudeau? | ||
| I don't know, really. | ||
| Was that Trudeau? | ||
| Maybe I need to see the picture. | ||
| Did he shave his head? | ||
| I've been out of the game for a while. | ||
| Like, it's all just so ridiculous, dude. | ||
| Like, for the naked guy, it's like, dude, go live your life, but you're not helping. | ||
| You're not helping. | ||
| You want gay people to be treated okay and fairly and all those things. | ||
| You people are actually doing the reverse of all that and the pandering ridiculous. | ||
| Like who in Carney's circle was like, hug that guy? | ||
| Put that up again for a sec. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Now our YouTube channel is going to get deleted. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Come back. | ||
| Nobody wants to see that. | ||
| Did that guy actually think, boy, people want to see that? | ||
| Do you remember the picture of Biden on the White House lawn with the transgender individual with the boobs sticking out and everything? | ||
| I don't, this to me obviously bothers me for the same reason it bothers you. | ||
| And it's like, you wouldn't want this from anybody. | ||
| No adult should be naked on the street in front of kids. | ||
| I don't care what your orientation is. | ||
| It's inappropriate and it's counterintuitive. | ||
| And here's a perfect example of how, in my opinion. | ||
| So Nancy Mace launched a bid for governor of South Carolina and Marsha Blackburn announced she's going to run for governor in Tennessee. | ||
| Yeah, there's no video on this. | ||
| It's just like, what I don't love is, you know, Marsha Blackburn's not for gay marriage. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is she not? | |
| I've never, I've interviewed her a couple times. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I would bring it up with her next time. | ||
| I think she's not, and pretty aggressively not. | ||
| Look, anyone can have whatever their own religious and personal philosophical belief is. | ||
| I don't think that should supersede someone, another citizen's right to engage in a relationship that they wish to engage in. | ||
| And I think the ship has really sailed on that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I wouldn't. | |
| I hope so. | ||
| I wouldn't really, well, certainly at a governor level, a governor has no ability to do anything about that. | ||
| Here's the concern. | ||
| I mean, I'll try to be quick. | ||
| I think you saw there was some worry they were going to try to bring up gay marriage in the Supreme Court. | ||
| It turned out to be a nothing burger. | ||
| Long story short, the Supreme Court didn't agree to hear this case yet. | ||
| And it had to do with this woman's freedom of speech, I think, and religion, not necessarily relitigating gay marriage. | ||
| But the concern is that it could come up. | ||
| And then what if it gets kicked back to the states? | ||
| And if it does, you know, what kind of influence? | ||
| At the end of the day, we have equal protection under the law that's guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States. | ||
| Marriage, in and of itself, is not in the Constitution. | ||
| So if you're going to say that straight people can get married, then gay people can get married. | ||
| But all right, we'll keep it rolling. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| August 11th, it was revealed that a former Democrat Intelligence Committee staffer turned whistleblower told the FBI in 2017 that Adam Schiff personally approved leaking classified information on Russia to smear President Trump. | ||
| It probably should have had this earlier, but there you go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| All right. | ||
| Oh, he's jumping forward. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, we got the beta or work stuff, blah, blah, blah with the taxes. | |
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Oh, this is important. | ||
| You should know this. | ||
| President Trump took a victory lap over the corrupt New York Attorney General, Letitia James. | ||
| The whole foreign government because it was excessive and punitive. | ||
| So that's out. | ||
| Good. | ||
| Ah, you want to see Joy Reed talking about how white people are scumbags? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I want new things. | ||
| That's just old. | ||
| So maybe that's what I want. | ||
| Joy Reed called somebody racist. | ||
| Yeah, all of us. | ||
| We're all racist. | ||
| All of our ancestors. | ||
| I like this. | ||
| Let's see if you can just keep shuffling around. | ||
| Something really moved in. | ||
| Okay, Omar Fateh. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| So this guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's a Somali pirate and no more. | |
| So the Dems actually pulled out of their support for this guy because they think that the race was rigged, citing missing balance and insecure election machines. | ||
| So here's Minneapolis Mayor Frey taking over. | ||
| So they're bringing Frey back? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's hilarious. | ||
| It's not a scenario where you need to take my word for it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's actually insane. | |
| As the state party said, and as the investigation showed, this was a process that was rife with errors and misconduct. | ||
| Hundreds of people didn't get counted out of hundreds of votes in total. | ||
| There was an entire ward where nobody knew who the ward delegates were. | ||
| The whole thing went missing. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| We still don't know exactly how they came to the determination based on that ward. | ||
| The data itself was given to the other campaigns and they were allowed to edit it. | ||
| I mean, okay, fine. | ||
| The Somali pirates got, but they have this guy still who's just like a pathetic, progressive, pandering putt. | ||
| He gets worse every minute. | ||
| But real quick, because I can't remember if it's somewhere on the ground here, Mondani continues to grow in New York. | ||
| And it's happening. | ||
| Warren basically came out, Senator Warren, was like, this is the future of the party. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| You guys have, there's no bulwark against it. | ||
| And I'm telling you, the thing that I'm afraid of with him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| The thing that I'm afraid of is they're going to fake. | ||
| He's going to win and they're going to fake it for a year. | ||
| Socialism can be faked for a year, meaning because the Democrats turn on the violence when they want and they shut it off. | ||
| So they'll stop at the craziness. | ||
| The government-run grocery stores, they'll work for about a year until the workers start realizing they have no skin in the game, and then the system fails. | ||
| But the question is, does it scale at that year? | ||
| Meaning, people are looking at it like in that year and then being like, okay, bring it to Minneapolis, bring it to San Francisco, Los Angeles, and everything. | ||
| I mean, we've done this before. | ||
| We did it in the 70s, and it was an abject failure. | ||
| So, yeah, and I'm sure you caught the video of him saying, like, he wants to seize production, and he doesn't believe in prisons, and there's no need for personal property. | ||
| He didn't miss any of those. | ||
| Didn't miss any of that. | ||
| I'm still curious, though. | ||
| He's a big, he keeps, he's marching out there with the queers and the LGBTQs and everything. | ||
| And for some reason, I'm guessing that his mosque does not do gay marriages. | ||
| And I just wish someone would ask him a question about why he would attend such a bigoted religious institution, but nobody wants to bring that up. | ||
| If only there was a journalist in America. | ||
| I don't disagree with you. | ||
| There is a video of him needing a spot to do two reps of the bench press. | ||
| I guess trying to imply that he's a soy boy, but the long story short is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's go, let's go, let go, let's go, let's go. | |
| Yeah! | ||
| Let me get one more. | ||
| Let me get one more. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let me get three. | |
| All I'm going to tell you is. | ||
| You really could barf in your government-run shoes, couldn't you? | ||
| Yeah, he's going to win. | ||
| He's going to win, I think, dude. | ||
| Goodbye, New York. | ||
| Sad news there. | ||
| So, John Bolton. | ||
| Okay, now you don't know anything about this one, right? | ||
| Did he shave his mustache? | ||
| No. | ||
| Okay, so this one's been pretty controversial. | ||
| Federal agents raided his home in Maryland. | ||
| And of course, for anybody who's not aware, he's Trump's former national security advisor. | ||
| Take a look. | ||
| We're back with the Fox News Alert. | ||
| We're just learning, learning the FBI agents have raided the Maryland home of former Trump National Security Advisor, John Bolton. | ||
| It happened at 7 a.m. this morning. | ||
| Shortly after the raid began, FBI Director Cash Patel posting on X quote: No one is above the law. | ||
| FBI agents on a mission. | ||
| It is intriguing here because these are long-standing allegations that the book indicated or referenced classified material that he may have acquired when he was in the administration. | ||
| We're not clear as to what that is, but it would suggest that it could be national defense information. | ||
| Okay, so here's basically what happened. | ||
| He wrote a book in the room where it happened, right? | ||
| And it had to do with the 17 months he spent in the job for Trump. | ||
| Long story short, the accusation is that he has classified documents that he sent on a private server to his wife and his daughter. | ||
| Initially, I guess the Trump administration in 2020 had tried to block this. | ||
| The Biden administration started, continued the investigation, and then, I guess, put it to bed. | ||
| Nobody really knows why they put it to bed. | ||
| Cash Patel has just revived it. | ||
| Trump says he knows nothing about it. | ||
| The scandals are as follows: Are we weaponizing? | ||
| You know, that the majority of the people are going to be able to do it. | ||
| It's all the usual stuff. | ||
| Are we weaponizing it, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| I mean, I kind of remember when the book came out, and people were saying, Was he allowed to write some of this stuff? | ||
| But it all goes through. | ||
| I'm sure it was published by Penguin or somebody huge, or Simon Schutzer. | ||
| Like, it all goes through layers of security. | ||
| So he said he had permission from this woman and from the archivist who's in charge of classification. | ||
| It's a bit muddy, to be honest. | ||
| We really don't know what's going on, but that's the big question: this is unprecedented. | ||
| But Mike, wait, how is it unprecedented? | ||
| Didn't we just do this in Mar-a-Lago? | ||
| Right, it feels like the same thing. | ||
| Well, it's unprecedented. | ||
| Also, I know plenty of people who were in former government positions who've written books, and I've talked to several of them about it. | ||
| Like, you have to go through a process to figure out what's allowed. | ||
| All right, so the concern is obviously like Trump's vindictive, he's going after old enemies, he's weaponizing the FBI and the DOJ, the usual game, right? | ||
| It is weird, you know. | ||
| I don't know yet. | ||
| I guess we're gonna find out if something happened, but that's that's the concern. | ||
| Well, as we sort of had a theme here, I mean, no one pays the price for anything. | ||
| So, Bolton will be fine too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, so that's kind of uh, that's kind of it there. | |
| FBI raided the home of blah, blah, blah, John Bolton. | ||
| Yeah, you got it. | ||
| Okay, 576. | ||
| Oh, here it is. | ||
| Bolton claimed that Knight gave him verbal approval to publish the book, even while a supplemental review was going on. | ||
| So, I guess this is the woman who's in charge of these classifications. | ||
| Nothing's going to come of this. | ||
| Nothing's going to come of this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nothing is coming. | |
| Okay. | ||
| This sucks. | ||
| This is sad, and it's making really big news. | ||
| So, an individual who I guess is allegedly transgender named Robin Westman shot and killed two kids and injured 17 others at a Catholic school during a mass in Minneapolis. | ||
| Okay, now new evidence is emerging that this suspected shooter appeared to be psychotic. | ||
| Manic, 22-year-old young man, possibly trans, who left an 11-minute manifesto video on YouTube just hours before the shooting. | ||
| The suspect wrote notes on the weapons he used, including Kill Trump Now, McVeigh, Where is Your God? | ||
| Burn Israel, $6 million was not enough. | ||
| He had a human-shaped target with Jesus's face attached to it. | ||
| Now, this, of course, has begotten crazy culture wars over the transgender people. | ||
| Right, so that whole thing has begun. | ||
| And then simultaneously, you've got Frey who take a look at this and then make your own opinion, okay? | ||
| We'll discuss it. | ||
| I don't even want to set it up yet. | ||
| Can you guys toss up that video of Frey for me, please? | ||
| Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. | ||
| These kids were literally praying. | ||
| It was the first week of school. | ||
| They were in a church. | ||
| These are kids that should be learning with their friends. | ||
| They should be playing on the playground. | ||
| They should be able to go to school or church in peace without the fear or risk of violence, and their parents should have the same kind of assurance. | ||
| So it wasn't just him. | ||
| Newsome put out a tweet saying, quote, these children were literally praying as they got shot at. | ||
| Now, as I'm sure you can imagine, the Michael Knowles, the Charlie Kirks. | ||
| This is an attack on prayer. | ||
| This is an attack on Christians. | ||
| This is evil. | ||
| I certainly don't understand why those comments were made. | ||
| Well, it was an attack on a Catholic school. | ||
| Is that correct? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So, okay, so there's some element of that, but if you, but that's secondary to what likely was massive psychological distress or whatever you want to call it, that this boy, I guess, thought he was a girl. | ||
| How about we talk about psychological health and drugs and all of the others? | ||
| Or getting security guards at the schools? | ||
| Because, you know, of course, it's going to be like, oh, my God, the gun laws. | ||
| How about you put armed guards at the schools? | ||
| Right, which, you know, look, that's a slippery slope, too, because then we just are, well, it's a slippery slope in that we then are like sort of training our children to just be around. | ||
| I'm more for that. | ||
| No, I know. | ||
| No, I know, I know. | ||
| I know. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| But without fully like litigating that. | ||
| Like there is something about children having to then be around armed five-year-olds walking into schools and seeing, you know, in effect soldiers at the doors. | ||
| There's some conversation around that. | ||
| But all of these things always boil down to mental health and everything else. | ||
| The video that probably got me the craziest in like the last five years, do you remember that Texas Uvalde shooting where they, I mean, it's hard to remember any of these at this point, but somebody went in and shot like 17 year olds, 17 kindergartners, basically all elementary school kids. | ||
| And then Joy Reed went on TV that night and said, this is not a mental health issue. | ||
| It's a gun issue. | ||
| And it's like, it's so crazy. | ||
| That's a mental health issue to say that. | ||
| Because if you go in and kill innocent children, you obviously have a mental health issue. | ||
| You don't need a doctor to diagnose you with that. | ||
| So all of these things are much more about mental health and likely prescription drugs. | ||
| And, you know, the other problem is that with the manifesto stuff and putting all that stuff out, it incentivizes people to put out crazy things, right? | ||
| It doesn't mean that he believed any of that stuff. | ||
| It just, you know, they put out, there's a game. | ||
| There's like a butterfly effect and a game that's being played. | ||
| I'm going to put up a YouTube video. | ||
| I'm going to write these crazy things. | ||
| All of that fits into the psychological screwiness of everything. | ||
| So but I can see this probably has all of the cultural markings. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| And it's like a broad attack on the trans community, which is counterproductive instead of it like, okay, this guy's mentally insane, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then it's like, oh, God, they're attacking. | |
| Christianity is under assault, which, I mean, honestly, it kind of is. | ||
| But I don't think that's what was happening here. | ||
| But who knows? | ||
| Why say it? | ||
| Why not address policy? | ||
| Why would you go after these kids were literally playing? | ||
| What are you trying to say? | ||
| That prayer is in effect? | ||
| People were really inspired by the people who were dumb things. | ||
| People who don't believe in prayer suddenly making it about prayer is kind of gross. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That did not go over well, which is so bizarre. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's mental health. | |
| It's mental health. | ||
| A hard right turn for you. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Okay, you're running out of patience. | ||
| If you had to guess, what object has been repeatedly thrown on a WNBA court? | ||
| Oh, dildo. | ||
| It's got to be. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, because a few days before I left, the green dildo. | |
| Wait, Green Dildo? | ||
| Dildo's more dildos? | ||
| Yeah, lots more dildos. | ||
| I mean, I have three videos. | ||
| Do we review this? | ||
| Let's say dildo. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gotta whistle away from the basketball. | |
| It's a green dildo again. | ||
| So there's something interesting about the green bill, though. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is this going to be a green dildo? | |
| I think there's a purple one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, that's James. | |
| There's definitely a purple one in there. | ||
| She just kicked the crap out of that dildo. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This guy had three quick turnovers. | |
| Wait, that purple. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Purple. | |
| Wow. | ||
| Well, I've never seen those in neon colors. | ||
| I guess I've, I don't. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I usually thought it was like skin tones, but I am. | |
| Well, okay. | ||
| Now, hold on the color of the ring. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do have a good video, though. | |
| I'd like to show you this one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| A CN anchor, a CNN anchor, led off of a segment about a crackdown on dildos. | ||
| They're like, can we show that one? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The WNBA is cracking down on dildos being thrown onto the court during games. | |
| The sex toys have shown up six different times from Atlanta to LA, posing a risk to players. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| It's dumb. | ||
| It's horny. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's stupid. | |
| It's also dangerous. | ||
| And, you know, player safety is number one. | ||
| Respecting the game, all those things. | ||
| I think it's really stupid. | ||
| So what is this? | ||
| Who's responsible for starting this trend? | ||
| Apparently, a crypto meme group, which calls them pranks. | ||
| But those pranks have so far resulted in two arrests. | ||
| And it raises the debate. | ||
| Is it a sexist stunt? | ||
| Is it some sort of rite of passage that every league experiences something like this? | ||
| What is going on? | ||
| What is every? | ||
| I'd watch a lot of NBA games in my day. | ||
| I don't remember a dildo being thrown. | ||
| I don't know what you're right. | ||
| Is it a rite of passage? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| What? | ||
| All right, but the NYPD is on a manhunt for a WNBA dildo throwing suspect in a Beavis and Butthead shirt. | ||
| Can't make this up. | ||
| I thought you'd enjoy that. | ||
| Come on now. | ||
| But I love how the players have to, someone's going to get hurt. | ||
| You know, like the dildo is going to take them out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, my God. | |
| Okay, other than me, somebody else has been branded a racist. | ||
| So who? | ||
| Do I know them? | ||
| You certainly do. | ||
| It's rarefied air. | ||
| One guess, it's a girl. | ||
| It's a girl that I know that was called. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, well, you would know of her first. | |
| I know of her, but I don't know. | ||
| You definitely know. | ||
| Well, that's more than she's a girl. | ||
| A really pretty girl. | ||
| A very pretty girl that I may. | ||
| How about Riley Gaines? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sidney. | |
| Oh, Sidney Sweeney. | ||
| Well, she was. | ||
| Yeah, well, they were saying she was a racist. | ||
| She's a racist? | ||
| Because she has boobs or something. | ||
| Well, no, no. | ||
| It was her jeans ad, her American Eagles jeans ad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, you saw this ad. | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| What? | ||
| Okay, you know this whole thing? | ||
| Maybe they double. | ||
| Yeah, well, they did the ad. | ||
| I love the jeans. | ||
| I have got good jeans. | ||
| She's a racist. | ||
| He knows this one. | ||
|
unidentified

That was July. | |
| That was July. | ||
| Someone's getting fired. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| All right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Didn't see the apology. | |
| Oh, there's an apology. | ||
| Who apologized? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They didn't apologize. | |
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Oh, and they did. | ||
| Oh, good. | ||
| They shouldn't have apologized. | ||
| Oh, I was like, Trump. | ||
| Nobody apologized? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| All right. | ||
| Nobody apologized. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Trump applauded American Eagle and Sidney Sweeney. | ||
| He was a registered Republican. | ||
| And then he bashed Bud Light and Jaguar. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Here's his post right here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She's got the hottest ad out there. | |
| Woke ad disaster. | ||
| Look at woke singer Taylor Swift. | ||
| I don't really know. | ||
| That's interesting that he went after Bud Light still because, you know, they've really put a lot of money into UFC and other stuff to try to make up for what they've done. | ||
| So that's interesting. | ||
| But okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, then in response to all of this, just quick sidebar. | |
| Taylor Swift is engaged to Travis Kelsey. | ||
| Yeah, that happened. | ||
| Oh, is that new? | ||
| I mean, they've been dating forever. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| And if you wonder, they're engaged. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| This is a thing. | ||
| Are you ready? | ||
| Cracker Barrel rebranded the logo and lost like a hundred gazillion trillion bazillion dollars. | ||
| I'm trying. | ||
| The logo was like a, it was like a bat. | ||
| Oh, it was a barrel, right? | ||
| It used to be just a barrel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| With a white guy named Uncle Herschel. | ||
| I couldn't quite figure this out. | ||
| I wasn't sure if Uncle Herschel was like a slave owner and that's why they did this. | ||
| In fact, there is no reference to slavery here whatsoever. | ||
| And the cracker barrel is because people would eat soda crackers around a porch that were packed in a barrel. | ||
| And Uncle Herschel is just, I guess, a fictional character. | ||
| But because it's nostalgic of the South with the guy on a porch, so they rebranded the whole thing. | ||
| And then everybody was pissed and it tanked. | ||
| And yeah. | ||
| So Go Woke Go Bro. | ||
| Crackle Barrel CEO Julie Fells Messina's decision to decolonize the company. | ||
| Okay, okay. | ||
| Don't read the rest of that. | ||
| The one thing I can say is around 1996, I was driving up to, I went to SUNY Binghamton and I stopped somewhere near Poughkeepsie, if I'm not mistaken, at a cracker barrel, and I had the most delicious, fully loaded baked potato I'd ever had in my life. | ||
| They put salt and pepper on the outside of the potato, which I now do, and it's delicious. | ||
| So, yeah, that was a mess. | ||
| That was like a Bud-like kind of a mess. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But like, did you get these like white women that just keep tanking these companies? | |
| Right, they'd never stepped foot into Cracker Barrel, but they get off to stage. | ||
| They get these, like, you know, Ivy League-educated white liberals, and they just tank these companies one against another. | ||
| Like a Victoria's Secret. | ||
| They need a dildo. | ||
| That's the truth. | ||
| I would disagree with you. | ||
| Like, get a dildo, ladies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, my God. | |
| I got a cracker barrel. | ||
| Okay, some interesting. | ||
| I wonder what you'll think about this one. | ||

|
After many years, Howard Stern is canceled. | |
| His contract is not going to be renewed. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| That actually strikes me as the biggest news of the entire month in some weird way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Isn't that weird? | ||
| I'm not surprised. | ||
| Well, I mean, his, you know, because he hates ideological anti-Trump stuff. | ||
| Watching his descent into like woke madness and COVID 7 has been really disappointing. | ||
| You know, I'm from New York. | ||
| Like, I used to listen to him on 92.3, and I so remember him going to satellite, and it was all about freedom. | ||
| And I read private parts and the movie's spectacular and fighting the system in WNBC and the entire thing. | ||
| Like, his story is so great. | ||
| And he was fighting the power the entire time. | ||
| And then he became like such an avatar for the power. | ||
| And I had a show on Sirius XM, and I always wanted to meet him so desperately. | ||
| And I used to have dreams all the time that I was on his show. | ||
| That was like the one thing when my first book came out that I requested from my press people was to get on Howard Stern. | ||
| It didn't happen. | ||
| That was the only thing that I asked for. | ||
| But then watching his, you know, all that stuff has been disappointing. | ||
| I guess at some point you just can't pay him anymore, right? | ||
| The guy's been making satellite radio. | ||
| It doesn't really make sense. | ||
| I don't know if you've heard of the internet. | ||
| I think that's part of it. | ||
| I think it's also a lot of the supposedly the Trump derangement stuff has turned off a lot of his audience. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, his audience was edgy. | ||
| Oh, I loved him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I never liked him. | |
| And you know what I remember about him? | ||
| You didn't like the crassness? | ||
| I like the fight and the fighting the power thing. | ||
| I loved fighting the executives and making fun of them all the time. | ||
| You know what used to bother me? | ||
| It was like Letterman, sort of. | ||
| Here's the irony, by the way. | ||
| Some of the crazier stuff that Trump said about like, you know, teenage Miss America and like walking into these rooms. | ||
| I think he said that on Howard Stern's. | ||
| And Howard didn't release the audio of it. | ||
| Do you remember that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And with that said, though, if you go back to super early Howard Stern, do you remember like a New Year's special where he would have women? | ||
| Oh, he did insane things. | ||
| I mean, he'd be in Blackface auctioning people off. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They hated that. | |
| They hated it. | ||
| I remember, and it's like he'd take these girls who were super vulnerable and humiliate them for a boob job. | ||
| I never liked him. | ||
| Well, putting aside whether you like him or not, even putting, like, whether that doesn't even, in some sense, it's like the bigger story is that this guy who's been an icon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're right. | |
| You're right. | ||
| I'm just saying, I didn't like him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not sorry. | |
| Yeah, no, no, no. | ||
| Trust me, I haven't listened to him in 20 years. | ||
| He turned into like some sort of a hero. | ||
| But I never forgot that stuff. | ||
| I was really young, I remember, and thinking, like, this is so gross. | ||
| I remember he did some blackface thing with Sherman Helms. | ||
| George Darling. | ||
| I angel this guy. | ||
| Like, anyway. | ||
| He'll be okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He'll be okay. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Charlie Kirk has been featured on South Park. | ||
| Oh, I think that happened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You caught that? | |
| I think a clip leaked of that the day I left, if I'm not mistaken. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, my God. | |
| What makes you think you have the right to say what I do with my body? | ||
| Let me ask you something. | ||
| If a pregnant woman is killed and the baby dies, too. | ||
| The day I left. | ||
| All right. | ||
| This video, okay, Greg Gutfeld went on Jimmy Fallon. | ||
| Oh, so I think this must have happened right at the beginning of the month, right? | ||
| Because I think I had heard it. | ||
| August 7th. | ||
| Okay, so I think I heard it was going to happen, maybe something like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I kind of watched it. | |
| How'd it go? | ||
| We got anything or just. | ||
| It was awkward. | ||
| I'll be honest, I thought it was awkward. | ||
| Greg was super sweet. | ||
| And he tells this really long story about how he'd met Jimmy Fallon before. | ||
| And Jimmy was super drunk and like crushed a cigarette, then bought him a new cigarette. | ||
| And then they went to another bottle. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| It was awkward. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And Fallon had no memory of any of it. | |
| And now I'm like, ah, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ha! | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| It was really good. | ||
| Right, because Fallon's not like a person. | ||
| He's just an entertainer where Greg's being a human. | ||
| There was kind of a sweet moment in there where I guess Gutfeld says he goes to light a smoke and Fallon's like wasted and crumbles up his cigarette, which is something I would do. | ||
| And he's like, these will kill you. | ||
| And Gutfeld's like, I'm poor and you just crushed my cigarette. | ||
| And I guess Fallon bought him a pack of cigarettes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Gutschld's like, you're trying to kill him. | ||
| Here's what I did like about that. | ||
| We're really at the end here. | ||
| I know, weird month. | ||
| I mean, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What I loved about that is I think the right and the left need to talk more. | |
| So I loved that, actually. | ||
| And that's it. | ||
| Doesn't engage. | ||
| it's sort of like you going on CNN. | ||
| We need some arbitrage. | ||
| As crazy as it is, at some level you need an arbitrage between old and new media and Gutfeld balances old and new really well. | ||
| Well, but that was amicable. | ||
| It was definitely like an attempt to build good communication and bridge ideologies. | ||
| CNN was not quite that. | ||
| August 9th, Disney Lucasfilms is set to settle the Gina Carano lawsuit and they signaled a desire to work with her again. | ||
| She was fired from The Mandalorian over posts comparing being a Republican in the U.S. to being Jewish during the Holocaust. | ||
| We've got to stop making these Holocaust comparisons. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I thought you said something about Disney and something I thought you were going to say something about like they sold Star Wars, which would be amazing, but okay, fine, move on. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| No. | ||
| If I could just throw out, like, maybe just don't bring up the Holocaust. | ||
| That would be a mistake. | ||
| Okay, August 12th, the UFC signs a $7.7 billion deal with Paramount to add UFC events to Paramount Plus streaming services in 2026, eliminating the pay-per-view model. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Interesting. | ||
| Dana's built that thing into it just an absolute juggernaut. | ||
| It's not really my thing, but I think it's incredible what he's done. | ||
| But, you know, I grew up in it. | ||
| Okay, moving swiftly onward. | ||
| More of the same here. | ||
| No dildos, but 32 NFL teams will be stenciling a social justice message in their head. | ||
| What? | ||
| It's coming back. | ||
| Are you kidding me? | ||
| No. | ||
| Stop hate and choose love, Dave. | ||
| I mean, I'm shocked. | ||
| It takes all of us. | ||
| God, for anyone that thought Woke was dead, I mean, it's just recalibrating in front of our eyes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm saying this. | |
| No one's listening. | ||
| That's utterly shocking. | ||
| It's the farthest thing from bed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like morphing into something new and improved. | |
| Yeah, so they etch it into the end zone. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay, we've got a couple of male cheerleaders. | ||
| Louis Kahn. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait, that's a male? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| He's a good dancer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, all right. | |
| Yeah, okay. | ||
| I can't move like that. | ||
| Who am I to judge? | ||
| I'm exactly my point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I'm working with the trainer on opening my hips. | ||
| That's a big thing. | ||
| We're working on hips right now, just for the future of my basketball abilities. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, honestly, with that one, it wasn't such a weird, woke society. | |
| Right. | ||
| I don't think it was cute. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, exactly. | |
| I feel like that's cute. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| You're exactly right. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| MSNBC is now rebranded as MSNOW, and people don't love it because they think it means multiple cirrhosis now. | ||
| There's a 31-second video. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm Joe Scarborough announcing this. | |
| Do you want to see it? | ||
| We have breaking news as it pertains to our network. | ||
| This morning, a new name for the network. | ||
| By the end of the year, we will become MSNOW, which stands for my source for news, opinion, and the world. | ||
| And look, Andrew, they even have a graphic up. | ||
| This is what you call the stick-out-a-pick. | ||
| This is their departure from NBC and legacy media. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's nothing. | |
| Yeah, I love this. | ||
| Good luck. | ||
| This one I really liked, actually. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Chris Pratt. | |
| It's still television for morons. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's the thing. | |
| Chris Pratt. | ||
| Okay, he's good. | ||
| Chris Pratt went on Club Random. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And... | |
| and i loved this take a look in politics you you inherit enemies and when you jump on in in on you know the the bandwagon with who is you know the most divisive president ever it makes sense that You're going to be made to look terrible. | ||
| And so I don't know what to believe. | ||
| Because it's not like I sit with Bobby and I go, so hey, let's talk about this. | ||
| Let's talk about it. | ||
| It's like we're just playing cards or playing mafia or having fun or having dinner. | ||
| I'm not going to pick his brain to find out exactly which of those things are true. | ||
| I just kind of assume that none of them are. | ||
| And for the most part, I wish him well, man. | ||
| I hope there's certain things that he oversees that seem to be supported in a bipartisan way, like getting terrible, toxic stuff out of our kids' food. | ||
| I think that's a great thing. | ||
| And so, just if you just do that, that's amazing. | ||
| I'd hate to be so mired in hatred for the president that any success from his administration is something I'd have an allergic reaction to. | ||
| To be like, oh, well, if they do it, I don't want it to happen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'll feed my, I'll put Clorox in my children's cereal myself. | |
| You know, say, come on, have some, be reasonable here. | ||
| There's certain things that would be a good thing to have. | ||
| I want them all to be successful. | ||
| I guess this, whatever. | ||
| Just shame, crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, but just like general crazy stuff. | ||
| You know, I would say it's basically what I kicked off. | ||
| First off, thank you for this. | ||
| This was wonderful. | ||
| I think you actually did the most kind of robust sort of blend of funny and also ridiculous and serious. | ||
| Oh my God, we had to power through, though. | ||
| There was very little room for humor. | ||
| I want to be clear. | ||
| No, you did. | ||
| I'm not a stand-up comedian. | ||
| I do lunge is wrong. | ||
| You did a bang-up job. | ||
| And the abs, although they are hidden by the blouse, I'm sure, are still tight. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| I mean, we have a lot of stuff coming. | ||
| I don't want to tease too much. | ||
| Are you asking? | ||
| Are they telling me to tease something? | ||
| I got the best. | ||
| There's some major stuff happening with the tequila, which will be for sale again next week, finally. | ||
| And we've dealt with some of the logistical issues around that. | ||
| So, Copala, we're going to be really big on that for next year. | ||
| We have a couple ideas that we're going to change. | ||
| We changed a few things with the set. | ||
| We have new chairs here, which are quite comfortable, by the way. | ||
| And a nice new table and a lot of paper on the floor. | ||
| We're expanding a couple of things. | ||
| We're working on a network situation that I've been talking about for quite some time and some other things. | ||
| There's a lot of good things happening, and I'm glad to. | ||
| I didn't know how, you know, the last thing that happened in this room at the end of July was I taped one last thing, and I was sitting here with Connor and Joseph, and we finished, and then we all just sat here quietly for like 30 seconds. | ||
| And I said, I said, I don't know how I feel right now. | ||
| And Joseph goes, it feels weird. | ||
| And that kind of caught it for me because it wasn't like I was like relieved, like, I hate my job and now I'm so happy to escape. | ||
| It wasn't that. | ||
| It was like I was saying goodbye to my friends for a month and like I was going to enjoy myself, but I enjoy myself when I'm here. | ||
| And so this morning when I was coming back, I was like, how do I feel? | ||
| And I was like, it feels weird. | ||
| Because it's not that I wasn't happy to come back, but I also really enjoyed being off. | ||
| Anyway, I'm going to take all of that and all of the lessons I learned for a month and all the stuff that you gave me right here. | ||
| I'll try to be better at what I do and see if the country. | ||
| I'm going to say hi, my friend. | ||
| And it has been an absolute pleasure during this with you. | ||
| That was dense. | ||
| I apologize, but it's Phoenix's fault. | ||
| You know, if we were a professional operation, someone would throw a dildo and we'd end this thing. | ||
| But instead, I'm just going to high-five yesterday. | ||
| Thank you, Jillian. |
