Abby, thank.
Kennedy
Well, hello, everyone. Happy Halloween. I'm Kennedy along with Paul morrow, Harold Ford Jr. Joey Jones, and Greg Gutfeld. It is five o' clock in New York City, and this is the five. It is all Hallows Eve. President Trump is getting into the spooky spirit, recreating his infamous viral moment from his first term where he put candy on top of a child's head. The President is also spooking D.C. with the threat to initiate the nuclear option. No, he's not nuking France yet. He wants to get rid of the filibuster. As the shutdown drags into day 31. Here's 47 earlier.
Harold Ford Jr.
Happy Halloween.
Greg Gutfeld
And all of that. The Democrats just don't know what they're doing. I don't know what's wrong with them.
Paul Morrow
They've never done a thing like this. They become crazed lunatics. All they have to do is say, let's go.
Greg Gutfeld
Let's open up our country. And everything snaps back into shape.
Paul Morrow
It's their fault.
Greg Gutfeld
Everything is their fault.
Paul Morrow
It's so easily solved.
Greg Gutfeld
So tonight we have a big celebration of Halloween and I'll see you later.
Kennedy
But talk about a fright. Democrats just lost one of their favorite shutdown scare tactics. Federal judges have ordered the Trump administration to use emergency funds to keep food stamps running, which were set to expire tomorrow. This came amid reports of fuming SNAP recipients threatening to loot if food stamps were in fact, cut.
Greg Gutfeld
And.
Kennedy
And Senator Margaritaville and Spartacus stoking the hysteria flames.
Harold Ford Jr.
Donald Trump has said very bluntly that.
Greg Gutfeld
I'm going to cause maximum pain. And so his intention really is to use hunger as a political weapon.
Harold Ford Jr.
Hunger of our children, families, disabled.
Paul Morrow
Everybody understands, must understand that this is the intentional infliction of distress, intentional affliction of trauma. I call it pure out sadism. They are, they are enjoying the pain that they're imposing on the American people.
Kennedy
And Kamala has also been venting her frustration at the shutdown, dropping F bombs over the Trump ballroom. Are you kidding me? This guy wants to create a ballroom for his rich friends while completely turning a blind eye to the fact that babies are going to starve when the SNAP benefits end in just hours from now. Come on. So what? I'm not going to be distracted by. Oh, does the guy have a big hammer? Good one. Kamala is about to get extra salty after seeing this. President Trump is showing off some new pics of the recently renovated Lincoln bathroom. Yes, the Lincoln bathroom. It's decked out in beautiful high cloth statuary, marble stone. It is fit for Mount Rushmore, just like number 47 himself. Greg, you have some thoughts on the Royal bathroom?
Greg Gutfeld
I love that he's renovating the bathroom or renovated because it's so fitting after dealing with four years of Joe Biden's crap, that we have to do that metaphorically and literally. The White House needed a serious house cleaning. The damn Democrats treated America the way frat boys treated a cheap motel on spring break. You need a complete fumigation. That is not a pattern on the bedspread. Trust me, in terms of this hysteria, it kills me. I mean, obviously, this is more theater. You know, somehow Republicans and Trump enjoy inflicting pain on America. These are the people that ignored crime waves, that ignored the illegal immigrant gangs that came over that said inflation was good for you. They do not have. Again, we do not have to give them any of our credibility at this point. They covered up for it for an incapacitated president, so they know nothing about inflicting pain. I wish they would put some effort into the real fears instead of the imaginary ones. The imaginary fears are basically what we used to call luxury problems. So instead of going after the real fears that Trump understood because he spoke to people, crime, cost of living, public education is an actual fear. The imaginary fears of Democrats are the luxury beliefs that you can have time to indulge, whether it is climate change, transphobic bathrooms, is this bathroom okay for other people? Because you are well protected from the consequences of the problems you actually ignore. So you don't have to worry about crime because you have security. If you tabulated the opportunity costs of fabricated fears just on climate change alone, it's $1.3 trillion a year that was spent. And you actually had applied that to actual problems. Drug addiction, urban blight, police salaries, public education, the fire risk in California, how many problems could have been solved if we didn't sink all of that money into an imaginary fear? I guess what I'm saying is, in the future, fear the fear, because it's going to come again. They're going to have a new one.
Kennedy
Well, New Yorkers don't fear the fear. They're about to elect a socialist who's going to exponentially make all those problems much, much worse. Well said, Greg. So we're on day 30. Yes, you're welcome. We're on day 31 of the shutdown, Joey. And if it's not lifted by Thanksgiving, is it going to lift ever? And what will it take to get us out of this impasse?
Joey Jones
Some Democrat was on yesterday and was like, yeah, I Think Veterans Day is the no later than day. Where do these days come from? It was when the, when the new premiums come out, you know, around 1st of November was going to be the no later than day announced Veterans Day. This is what I'll tell you. Part of this segment is the idea that Trump is floating the ending the filibuster, the nuclear option. You know, Vance was speaking with Erica Kirk and he was asked about deploying the National Guard. And the question was, do you support doing this knowing that the next president might be a Democrat and do it as well? And Vance said, don't not do something you need to do in fear that the Democrats might do it next because they've already done it. And when you talk about the filibuster, for example, it was Harry Reid in 2013 that brought in the nuclear option for presidential confirmation. So now Republicans moved it forward for judicial, for the Supreme Court. So this old statesman's way of governing is a bygone era. It's gone. It's not here anymore. It might have died with the old statesman, but it's not here anymore. We have to come to terms with that. We can miss it, long for it, but it's like missing your grandparents. House doesn't exist anymore. Even if the House does, they don't. That's not how we're governed now. That may change again one day, but it's not how we're governed now. We are evenly split by the numbers, by the votes, by the rhetoric, by the issues. I don't like it. I don't necessarily advocate for ending the filibuster, but this idea that don't do it now because they might do it to you later. They already have. All right, so why not?
Kennedy
So, Harold, take us into Washington. Take us into the chamber. You were a member of the House of Representatives, so you know this world inside out. The Senate is supposed to be the upper chamber, but they're acting like a bunch of babies. I actually fear for this country, if we're just going on a 51 vote majority in the Senate, it means they've completely given up on working together. What does the nuclear option mean long term for both parties.
Harold Ford Jr.
Happy Halloween. Good to be with you. I think a couple of things. I've heard John Thune and I've heard some Republicans, John Thune, who I served in Congress with and like a great deal and respect say that a lot of why Democrats won't come to the table, Kennedy in the Senate, to try to end this in this moment and get the government back open is because they are afraid of the far left in the party. And they're probably right. I think the fact that John Thune, who I think is a dealmaker, and Mike Johnson, the reason they can't sit down with Democrats is because President Trump doesn't want them to. Number two, to Joey's point, which ties into yours, we may have left this era where we want some sort of statesmanship or we want government to work in a certain way. I hope they don't end the filibuster. I think one of the great protections that the minority, not racial minority, but the political minority has in this country when politics is being litigated like this, is that the majority just can't run over the minority unless there are rules that are followed. I will say this, though. If I were president of the United States as a Democrat and I had a Democrat controlled Congress by one seat and a Republican controlled Senate by one seat, I think it behooves the leader of the country when you have this kind of silly, immature politics happening on both sides and we can out blame Democrats more for the sake of the argument. You need a president that will come to the table and say, here's what we're going to do, here's why we have to do this and go negotiate with them and let's figure out an answer to this. For the life of me, I don't understand how we can be. And the president says this often. We're the hottest country in the world, yet 42 million people are on food stamps in America. Put aside that the funding is not there, but we have one out of eight Americans experiencing this. This to me is as fundamental a problem as anything. But we are faced with a crisis.
Kennedy
Right now and we also have the obesity epide.
Joey Jones
Right.
Harold Ford Jr.
And if I were, if I. Because the food is. So this is where Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Is, right? I hope he focuses on this. If I, I just can't for the life of me understand why people won't come back. Make the Republicans agree to deal with the health care premiums and get the government back open. Because at the end of the day, people suffering like this is something that I don't. I mean, put aside being inconvenience, flying, you have 40 million people, 42 million people, people who are losing their health care, going to see premiums go up. Let's do the very, the least that government's supposed to do, which is to provide these kind of benefits for everyday Americans. So I'm as discouraged as you are. I Hope Joey's wrong. I hope we get back to a moment where statesmanship reigns.
Kennedy
But we're going to have to throw all the clowns out if we're going to get there. Speaking of clowns, Paul, if you had known you're not a clown, that the former vice president had such a potty mouth, would you have voted for her?
Paul Morrow
I think she's just wonderful. She's so authentic. Here's the thing. Look, but let's try to capture all the commentary here that's coming from the left these days. On the left, the Democratic Party, right now you're either an anarchist or an elitist. And the elitists want to be down with the anarchists. That's what's behind all of that statements. All those statements, Right? You got Kamala cursing. Where's that coming from? All of a sudden? She's trying to show us how street she is. Right. They're trying to reach out to the middle class and people, everyday Americans, that they've completely lost. Van Hollen. Right. We just Republicans just enjoy watching people suffer. Here's Van Hollen comes from a State Department background. His family, Massachusetts boarding school, Swarthmore, where he got a BA in philosophy. All right. He got a master's from Harvard, JFK School. And I'd like to dump on that, but I went there, too, so I can Georgetown Law. This guy didn't have a job till he was almost 30. All right? And he's telling us now how we're supposed to live. He's never had a real job. He's never been scuffed up much like Biden. He was never in the real working sector. And that is telling us how horrible we are. Bottom line is this. If you notice, the narrative has changed. Initially it was we want to get rid of the health care. We want to take away health care from all the middle class. Now, that didn't work. All right? Very clearly the polling showed it didn't work because it came back to Obamacare and they didn't want to own that. So now all of a sudden, it's snap. We want everybody to starve, and that's what they're going to go with. Recognize something? The filibuster was not put in place by the founding fathers. They had never perceived that there was no filibuster till about mid-1800s. So this is not something that is anti constitutional. I hope they don't get rid of it as well. I agree with you. But that said, it's not like this is so far out of the norm. It was something that was put in as a rule in the Senate to make sure that it was more deliberative. They didn't have the tyranny of the majority and all of that. But at some point, if it's going to regularly devolve to the point that our entire government apparatus freezes, well, you know what? Then maybe it's time to go. And maybe the people voted for a majority. Even if it's one vote, at least the thing moves forward. But the bottom line from where I sit right now is you have a very simple way to do this. The continuing resolution. Everybody gets to eat, and we cut the deal. As before we came on the air. Just to close the loop. Two judges have ruled that they got to use the discretionary funds. They got to find money to pay to snap benefits. Okay, look at what they did. It's such blatant forum shopping. All right, two Obama judges. No, it's Massachusetts. I forget what the other one is. Both of them Obama appointed. So very clearly this has gone into the hyper political stuff that, by the way, always gets overturned when it goes up the chain. So this idea that they're using leverage, that's a bad optic. Pass a continuum resolution, get people fed, and then let's cut a deal.
Kennedy
All right, here we go. A huge programming note. Jesse Waters has an exclusive interview with Erica Kirk this coming Wednesday, November 5th at 8pm it is Erica's first sit down interview since Charlie's assassination. And here's a preview.
Harold Ford Jr.
I want to show you a video of Charlie talking about TP usa.
Kennedy
Okay?
Harold Ford Jr.
So check your ego at the door.
Paul Morrow
No, he looks so good.
Kennedy
Sorry, guys. Just give me a second.
Joey Jones
It's the longest video I've watched of him.
Harold Ford Jr.
Just give me a second.
Paul Morrow
Charlie was on a mission to save Western civilization. Did you know that's what you signed up for?
Kennedy
You know, well, no, I didn't sign up for anything. I just married the love of my life. All right, coming up next, some bad hombres are about to have a very bad Halloween. Stay with us.
Joey Jones
Is there a ghost in my house? My house.
Harold Ford Jr.
It's Will Tane Country.
Paul Morrow
Watch it live at noon Eastern Monday through Thursday@foxnews.com or on the Fox News YouTube channel. And don't miss the show. Listen and follow the podcast five days a week at foxnewspodcasts.com or wherever you download your favorite podcasts.
Joey Jones
It's trick or be deported for illegal aliens. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is denying Illinois Governor J.B. pritzker's request that she halt immigration enforcement operations throughout Chicago for three whole days. I guess JB just wants to make sure he has access to all that free candy. Owen, to supposedly keep the children safe, too. I've sent a letter to Kristi Noem.
Greg Gutfeld
And to the Department of Homeland Security.
Paul Morrow
Leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend.
Joey Jones
I'm asking for basic human decency.
Paul Morrow
Give the children and the families of Illinois a break.
Joey Jones
Yeah. Speaking of ice, the DOJ recently indicted a former employee of Media Matters. Her name is Kat Abaguzale. She's a whacked out leftist running for Congress, but now she's charged with allegedly assaulting and conspiring to injure law enforcement. She did this by blocking ICE vehicles. Let's just say she didn't take kindly to being asked about those charges.
Kennedy
You know, Tara, once again, this is my first time being federally indicted. Like I said. Yeah. I plan on pleading not guilty. The evidence will come out in court, and I plan on winning. Thank you so much for having me. Yeah. Did she just sign off? Did she just leave the chat?
Joey Jones
Greg? You know, groups like Media Matters, I mean, they get paid to rage. Watch us. You know, it's.
Greg Gutfeld
This is so gratifying because if people don't realize that the young girl there that's running for Congress, who's up for prison, used to work for Media Matters. And Media Matters is this kind of, like, cutout outfit that hires people who basically sit at home and watch Fox, and then they lift segments and then they amplify them and they try to get, like, our advertisers to leave. That's all that. This cat, Abu Ghazi. Is that her name? Abu Ghazi? That sounds like I got it right. The first Abu Ghaza. Anyway, so it's just kind of fun because now we're clipping the clipper.
Joey Jones
Yeah.
Greg Gutfeld
And she can't take the heat. She bails. She was on. It wasn't even tv. It was like a podcast. And when and when it got too heated, she bolted. It's a lot harder to do this job than sit on a couch, call yourself a journalist, and then pull segments from a conversation among people and try to get them into trouble. Then when it happens to you, you just run off. And I get it. You don't want to, like, incriminate yourself, but. Stop it. This whole thing about Halloween is hilarious because we know how fake it is. What are you going to do next? Stop it. Because it's Thanksgiving New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day? Please stop. On Valentine's Day. What about Arbor Day? Mother's Day, Father's Day? We can't do it during Pride Month. I mean, that's all. They never are honest about what they're doing. Just say you don't want them to do it because it's successful, because it's effective. They keep saying that ICE is like nabbing and zip tying. You know what? Next trick or treaters. Every time they brand somebody as like a father or a hard worker, you find out they're wanted on sex charges. And then the media drops the story. First they say a New Mexico dad, and then when they find out he's wanted for assault, that disappears. They were. The media refuses to follow up on it. Also, they keep. People will also bring up that Americans are being detained. That might be from stolen IDs. That's another area you have to look in. Why does somebody get picked up? It's because somebody had their identification and we're here illegally.
Joey Jones
Kennedy with Pritzker, you know, he can't work with them to make this less. More safe and less of a spectacle. He's talking about, you know, pepper spray and things like that. But instead he's asked them to take a three day pause for that holy holiday of Halloween, the holiest one.
Kennedy
Yes. So he's talking about basic human decency. We'll define basic human decency because if you have people here who are indecent, who are, you know, doing the kind of things that Kristi Noem and ICE agents are saying they're doing, which is apprehending the very worst criminals in the country, I think everyone is on board with that. But if the basic human decency is fighting for the rights for the worst people to stay in these communities and continue to terrorize them, I think that's pretty awful. And at this point, all he's doing by obfuscating is running for President. Because all he wants to do is be in front of the cameras and have a couple of clippable lines so he looks like a tough guy. But if he really wants to be president, and if he really wants to make an impact on this issue, then sit down with Homeland Security and figure out ways that your law enforcement can work with people safely and sanely and rationally and make sure that the people you are taking out of society are the ones who really shouldn't be here in the first place and not people who came here because they were lied to by coyotes and spent their life saving Sending their kids ahead of them, you know, who are trying to work hard, but people who really are the worst of the worst on that list. JB Pritzker is undisciplined and corpulent, and I need him to step out of this conversation.
Joey Jones
Harold, you probably know what that last word meant. What do you think?
Harold Ford Jr.
I don't know what that last word meant, but I. I think that I've tried to say this many times. I think that when President Trump was elected a second time, I think a lot of Americans supported him because of his desire, and he's executed on closing the border and locking the border down. I think the second part of it has been the trickier part for him, which is finding the right hierarchy of deportations and having some. The debate we're having now in Illinois and other places is the humanity around it. Now, I don't believe that Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson, I think they could have handled this differently. I think crime, whether it's committed by a legal citizen or an illegal, is crime. You're notyou don't feel like your goods are better stolen if it's a citizen versus it's an illegal, and you don't feel like you're better off if your loved one is killed by a citizen versus an illegal. So I've said many times on the show, I think we need national legislation around immigration and certainly a national crime bill. The president has done everything right on the border. The question is, are we doing what's right in our country? And there seems to be, in terms of deportations, people who've been here for years, who are legally working, who are waiting for their asylum hearing. Are they here illegally? I don't know the answer to that. Perhaps we needif you're here and you, you've not shown up for your solemn hearing. That's different. But we have a number of issues here, and unfortunately, the politics is looted. The whole.
Greg Gutfeld
How long did they wait for that asylum hearing?
Harold Ford Jr.
So that's the problem, Greg. They're waiting years for this.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes, yes. And that's a scam in itself.
Harold Ford Jr.
It might be, but we tried to correct it with the legislation that Republicans and Democrats in the Senate negotiated. And President Trump said, don't do it, because when I'm president, I'll do it right. He hasn't done it right. He's got the border. I give him credit there. But this challenge we're facing here, I don't mean to take up the time. This is what we're going to be litigating For a long period of time, Paul.
Joey Jones
I mean, when people say stuff like, well, we got to pick and choose who we deport, who the bad guys are, who the good guys are.
Harold Ford Jr.
That's what President Trump said.
Joey Jones
I know, but I'm not pointing at you on this. But doesn't that still further undermine the fact there's a law that says you can't come here illegally? Like that still kind of continues that argument, right?
Paul Morrow
Yeah. We forget the prime mover here, which is that we let 12 million in completely unvetted. That's why all of this is happening. And let's go to the root of this current story here. Look what happened here. Governor Pritzker sent a letter. Wow, that's going to change everything. Boy, that's going to move mountains. I mean, this guy is such a panderer. The thing here is this. Look at the various people who he has apparently decided to ignore related to the kids. February 5 to 1628, alien sex offenders in the Midwest operation run out of Chicago field office. 27 year old Ecuadorum picked up victim under 13, 10 September this year. Operation Midway Blitz, all of Chicago. I got five names here. I could read it off. You know what it is? You've heard the charges. Aggravated sex abuse, child under 13, family member, all that kind of stuff. Where is that? No, he's worried about them getting Kit Kat bars. Give me a break. And as far as Abu Ghazayla goes, all right, let's look into her DNA here a little bit. All right? She came from a conservative family apparently. All right, so this is all sort of teenage acting out. I know she's a little older than a teenager. She is Mamdani light. Let's recognize what's going on here. She's heavily committed to the Palestinian issue. She actually had Palestinian. She's committed to that issue. It goes back to what I said in the A block. You're either an anarchist or elitist. She's the anarchist component here. Pritzker is the elitist. He's a zillionaire. Right. So he's trying to be down with her. Oh, leave the kids alone. Leave the kids alone. The bad news for her is she wants to be a lawmaker. She doesn't understand the law. She's claiming her defense is the first Amendment. You're in front of the car. It's on video. Do you think that's going to be covered by the first Amendment? You can't just tap out in the middle of a federal criminal hearing. I hate to tell you that and it's not going to go well. She's charged with two felonies. She's looking at multiple years. And here's the real bad news for her. They got right on the appointment on the U.S. attorney for Chicago for the Northern District of Illinois. And it's a Trump attorney. All right. So it's not going to fall through the cracks. Not going to say, let these five go. They didn't mean anything of it. It's on video. They're charged with conspiracy. She's in a lot of trouble. I think she all thought, you know, it's fun and games. We're going to talk about it tonight at the bar. You got bigger trouble than you realize. So, you know, you should probably grow up.
Harold Ford Jr.
I'm not an anarchist or an elitist. I'm just a Democrat.
Paul Morrow
Yeah.
Greg Gutfeld
All right.
Joey Jones
Up next, a women's magazine doesn't know what a woman is.
Harold Ford Jr.
Hi, folks. I like to tell you.
Paul Morrow
So Glamour magazine in the UK just dropped its new Woman of the Year issue. And guess how many actual women made it on the COVID Zero. Instead, they featured nine biological men who are called the dolls. Harry Potter author J.K. rowling is reacting. She said, quote, I grew up in an era when mainstream women's magazine told girls they needed to be thinner and prettier. Now mainstream women's magazines tell girls that men are better women than they are. Amazing. So, Kennedy, as one of the two biological women we have at the table, can you tell us what's going on with this here?
Kennedy
Guess who the yes, this is. This is virtue signaling at its finest. And Glamour used to be kind of, at least editorially, a feminist magazine. It would be the kind of thing that J.K. rowling would have been inspired by when she was an aspiring writer a couple decades ago. But now they have made the shift. And, you know, I look at some of these beauties on the COVID and, you know, I know that I have a lot to learn from them in terms of hair maintenance and skin care and being slightly more feminine. But I hate to say it, and I know I'm outnumbered at the table, but I am the giver of life. That should still mean something here. And I hope there are more feminists that get riled up who continue to carve out spaces for women instead of trying to erase them.
Paul Morrow
Yeah, that's one that they can't argue with yet. Right? The giver of life part. Good for you. Harold, your rejoinder.
Harold Ford Jr.
I don't have a rejoinder. I knew that this is one of these things where, as you say, anarchist and elitist. I'm just. I'm just a realist. I don't understand this. And perhaps if I read it closely, maybe I will. But the closeness that I've read it with. I line myself with J.K. rowling's comments on this.
Paul Morrow
You do, Greg, you're very much an advocate for Rowling. Here, pick this up.
Greg Gutfeld
Well, I think these people on the COVID of Glamour, Kudos. They have balls for doing that.
Joey Jones
But do they have ballroom?
Greg Gutfeld
I don't know. I didn't look that closely. This is why, okay, I think feminists can be the worst enemies of women because of what Gad Saad would call suicidal empathy. They would gladly throw each other under the bus to garner a brief flicker of attention through virtue signaling. Women's editors of women's magazines are the worst. I know them. And the biggest lie sold to consumers is that there is some kind of status afforded to women's magazines. Like they know better about everything, but they don't. They're as insecure and as miserable as anybody on the planet because as feminists, they are told certain things that are not true that essentially go against what is what it is to be a woman. And as a biological female, I know this. The ugly truth is, in some cases, in many cases, feminism ends up at a dead end. The most misogynist of humans are women like Glamour, who now put men in dresses in front of women because fundamentally, they are anti women.
Paul Morrow
Yeah. Yeah. And doesn't it have the feel of propaganda? You know, I think a Teen Vogue. Right. And, you know, it does. The whole thing feels like an opera. I mean, I hate to always think that way, but it feels like a mess of psyop. I mean, Joey, you would know, but you're familiar with psyops. They want the kids here because, you know, Glamour magazine is one of those things that, like, your girlfriend had lying around the table. You know, as a guy, you never read it, but it was kind of always there. But this inculcates into kids something to aspire to, you know? Right. Oh, I should be that, but I'm not.
Joey Jones
Listen, J.K. rowling has what we call FU money, right? Like, that woman has created this. This world that people are infatuated with. If you don't believe me, go to. Go to Universal Studio and see the grown people with wands. It's really kind of weird, but she's really smart. And with that FU money, we get to hear what she actually thinks about things. There's no filters. I mean, HBO Just picked up Harry Potter for another series. She just went on X or one of them and skewered Emma Watson in the most passive aggressive way. When she says something rather I agree with it or not. I know that's what she believes and I appreciate that. I'm glad that Elon Musk, she still has a platform to do it on and she's speaking the truth. We probably don't agree on anything American politics wise other than something like this. But I'm glad that she's still there because I think she does still have an influence. And this Glamour magazine thing. All I know is we have a supermodel for a first lady who is a fashion icon of herself. They won't touch her with a 10 foot pole but they'll put 10 freaks on the COVID of a magazine.
Paul Morrow
Yeah, very, very true. You know and Rowling has a great story too and you know, you never hear it in this context. You know she's been canceled.
Joey Jones
Self made woman.
Paul Morrow
All right guys, the fastest is up next and I can't find a care. It's coming sometime. I'm.
Joey Jones
For plant based healthy.
Harold Ford Jr.
Welcome back. This cop has gone undy cover. A Detroit police officer apparently forgot his pants during a virtual court hearing. Watch this.
Paul Morrow
Officer Jackson, good morning to you. Can you put your appearance on the record please?
Harold Ford Jr.
Yes, Officer Jackson. Number 3919.
Paul Morrow
You got some pants on, officer?
Harold Ford Jr.
No, sir. Paul, did you ever have an instance where you. They didn't wear pants to work.
Paul Morrow
Is this a great country or what?
Joey Jones
Yeah.
Paul Morrow
Oh man, a couple of things. First of all, I think we found a new cop for the Gutfeld show. All I can say is this, he hasn't been fired. Talk about desperate for cops in Detroit. I mean the guy didn't have pants on. It must be in their contract. You don't have to wear pants. You can just show up. I've seen some strange things. I've never seen this. And all I can say is it could have been worse.
Harold Ford Jr.
Lacey had his shirt on. Joy. I mean you, you have a military service and in for law enforcement background. What do you think about this?
Joey Jones
All of us that have home studios fear the day. You know, just dread the day that we walk by pull a tuban.
Harold Ford Jr.
Yeah.
Joey Jones
You know I'm saying no, we don't fear that day. I do not fear that. I know, but just you know, I wear a suit mullet all the time. If I'm on TV and you see this much of me, chances are it's party. It's party down below. I've got some black gym shorts on this guy. Obviously he thought he was framed. Chest up. I feel bad for him. I don't think he should be fired. I think it's embarrassing. But, you know, obviously he thought you were just getting that. And I hate it for him.
Harold Ford Jr.
I agree with you on that. Kennedy, what do you think about this?
Kennedy
Could have been much worse. We could have seen the Motor City man parts. And I'm glad we didn't. And he adjusted his angle as soon as he found out. I'd still like to throw the cuffs on him.
Harold Ford Jr.
Mr. Gutfeld. Well, I've heard of your cop on the show.
Greg Gutfeld
Now, I've heard of plain clothes cop, but not a no clothes cop. Stop laughing. I heard the judge told him he had a right to remain flaccid.
Kennedy
Paul's disgusted.
Harold Ford Jr.
Fan mail Friday. Fan mail Friday's up next.
Paul Morrow
Well, I guess we're gonna have to take control.
Kennedy
My name is Nicole.
Greg Gutfeld
All right, let's do a little Halloween question from jr. What's the worst Halloween candy you ever got as a kid, Paul?
Paul Morrow
Candy corn.
Greg Gutfeld
You don't like candy corn?
Paul Morrow
Nobody who like you like candy corn's amazing. Candy corn is revolting. It gets in your teeth. I don't even know what it is. I think it's a Russian.
Greg Gutfeld
It's just. It's just corn syrup. And it's awesome. That's why it's called candy corn, Harold, obviously, Paul's a communist.
Paul Morrow
What?
Greg Gutfeld
What is your.
Harold Ford Jr.
So as an adult. That's my. I hate that cuz I've lost a tooth trying to eat that. But as a kid, it was. I didn't like peanut butter, so Reese's. I didn't like.
Joey Jones
I love peanut butter.
Greg Gutfeld
What's wrong with you?
Kennedy
Give them to me.
Harold Ford Jr.
I would have. I would have.
Greg Gutfeld
I just thought, Joey, you grew up. You were destitute. You probably never had. You had to make your own candy, though.
Joey Jones
The same person that gave me my favorite candy gave me my worst. This guy named James Jones. He ran C and M Grocer. He gave me an onion one time. Serious as a heart attack. Here you go. It's better than potato.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah. What about you, Kennedy?
Kennedy
Yeah, it's hard to eat a potato raw. I got an apple from a very angry lady who was like, when the light's out, we're not giving away candy anymore. And then she hands me an apple. She's like, it's from the Hood River. Good night.
Greg Gutfeld
You could always tell trick or treating who was the drinker in the neighborhood, because they didn't know that it was Halloween. You'd ring the doorbell, happy holiday. And the guy would be wandering around and he'd just grab a handful of change from his pocket and just throw it in the thing. And it would smell like cigarettes.
Paul Morrow
And that's how you would get candy corn. You'd have all your stuff. The guy would just dump them in like he was getting rid of them.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, it was probably loose teeth. What is the. This is from Scott M. The hardest habit you have successfully kicked, Harold, do you have any. You've never had any bad habits. You're just perfect.
Harold Ford Jr.
I wish. What? The hardest habit. I'll tell you. I used to smoke a lot of cigars. I don't smoke cigars anymore. It took a lot to do because I love. When I'm out with my buddies and I'm playing golf, I like to do it. I kicked it because it's not healthy. Had my daughter decided I couldn't do it anymore.
Greg Gutfeld
Wow. What about you, Joey?
Joey Jones
I'm gonna be too serious and I hate it. Painkillers?
Greg Gutfeld
Yes.
Joey Jones
The VA just or actually DOD doctors threw it on me and went on a hunt trip. Left them at home and hadn't had them since.
Greg Gutfeld
That's good. God bless you, Kennedy.
Kennedy
I picked up Harold cigar habit and I'm happier for it. I regret nothing.
Joey Jones
No kicking.
Greg Gutfeld
So you haven't kicked any bad habits?
Kennedy
No, I. I gave up smoking when I was 19 and I did it by chewing tobacco. And I got addicted to that for a little bit, so I had to kick them both. But cigars are a delight.
Harold Ford Jr.
Fantastic chewing.
Greg Gutfeld
Well, I don't know why you would give up cigars if you don't inhale.
Kennedy
I didn't have money.
Greg Gutfeld
If you don't inhale, what's the problem?
Harold Ford Jr.
The heat gets in your mouth.
Greg Gutfeld
All right, all right, pause.
Paul Morrow
This early bird gets the worm nonsense. You know, these people get up at 6am and greet the morning as a shiny, happy person and all that. They should be put to sleep. It's disgusting.
Kennedy
That's.
Greg Gutfeld
Wait, how is that a habit?
Paul Morrow
I get up nice and late unless I got to go on Fox and Friends. That's it.
Greg Gutfeld
But I don't understand. That's not a habit you kicked.
Paul Morrow
I tried. I couldn't kick it. I kept it.
Greg Gutfeld
You kept what habit?
Paul Morrow
I get up late.
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, okay, okay. I'm gonna go with sugar. I, I, I, I can quit any. I cannot. I'm still. And I cannot stop eating cookies.
Harold Ford Jr.
Which one did you successfully kick? That'?
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, no. Hardest habit that you successfully kicked.
Harold Ford Jr.
No, it was sugar.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes. I haven't kicked it yet. Well, I quit drinking. But I'm saying. I'm saying that the hardest hat. I've quit. I quit smoking.
Harold Ford Jr.
Right. So that was. That was a hard habit to quit.
Kennedy
Did you quit that? Gay cowboy?
Greg Gutfeld
Are you kidding me?
Paul Morrow
Opium.
Greg Gutfeld
All right, I gotta move on dot org. Oh, do I gotta do another one?
Joey Jones
Yeah.
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, cool. Have you ever seen a ghost, Kennedy?
Paul Morrow
Twice.
Greg Gutfeld
Really?
Paul Morrow
Twice.
Kennedy
And both times I was with another person who also saw the same ghost.
Greg Gutfeld
Really?
Kennedy
Yes. It was very creepy.
Greg Gutfeld
I wish I had more time to ask about what this ghost was. Was that at the White House when Biden was president? Joe?
Kennedy
One was at the Queen Mary. One was outside my house.
Joey Jones
Yeah, I thought you said. Have you ever seen a goat? They're not bad. I've seen a few.
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, God, help me, Harold. I'm not.
Paul Morrow
No, no, no, no. Ghosts. Sorry to let you down on that.
Joey Jones
Silly ghost. Ah.
Paul Morrow
Boo.
Greg Gutfeld
All right. Well, that's some Halloween roundtable. I've never seen a ghost either. Unless you count cat. Tim. She's like. She's. Because she's skinny, she's like a ghost. One More Thing is up next.
Kennedy
Before we get to One More Thing, you gotta hurry up and get your tickets to see the five live and in person at the Fox Nation Patriot Awards. It is next week on Thursday, November 6th at the Tillis center right here in New York city. Go to foxnation.com patriot awards and now it's time for One More Thing.
Greg Gutfeld
Greg. Thank you, Kennedy. Tonight we got a great show. 10pm Special Halloween episode. Tim. Kevin O', Leary, Madison Allworth. And this fella, Joey Jones. Also, my tour dates are now up for 2026. Look at this. You can go to G gutfeld.com Tom.
Paul Morrow
Shalhou will be with me.
Greg Gutfeld
I'm going to be in New York, Georgia, Alabama, you name it. Even in Idaho. I've never been to Idaho. That's going to be exciting. So go to G gutfeld.com. let's do this, Greg. Sexy. Bison. Bison.
Kennedy
Bison.
Greg Gutfeld
Bison News with Brad Hume. Roll the tape, shall we?
Paul Morrow
Here we go.
Greg Gutfeld
There's a buzzing, scratching itch somewhere in the Great Plains. The act is called wallowing. And as erotic as it may look, it's a key role in the prairie ecosystem. When a bison wallows on the ground, it creates depressions in the soil that then fill with rainwater. Joey. And create what's called wetlands. This is your sexy buys and news. Be sure and tune in at 11pm where we'll be replaying the same video.
Joey Jones
They call that the prairie pothole region.
Kennedy
Really, Harold, save us.
Harold Ford Jr.
On this day, 75 years ago, the NBA, racially integrated, had its first African American players. A guy named Earl Lloyd, a guy named Nat Clifton, and a guy named Chuck Cooper, the first to play the game three years after Jackie Robinson integrated Major League Baseball. So congrats to those boys, and for that matter, their Legacy continues today 75 years later.
Joey Jones
Awesome.
Kennedy
Joey.
Joey Jones
Okay, yeah. This is important news. This is an adopted project that became a passion project. It's called Veterans, Inc. It's now live on Fox Nation. Check it out. We did film this series all across the country, going to veterans who got out of the military and created a business out of a skill set or a passion or an interest. It's a really cool series and some really cool people involved. Everything from making suits to making guns. It's a lot of fun.
Greg Gutfeld
I thought it was gonna be about tattoos.
Joey Jones
We had that one a while back.
Greg Gutfeld
That was on the Veterans league.
Kennedy
Oh, all of them. All right, well, I will be at SoulJols in Pottstown, Pennsylvania on November 22nd. Soul Joel, see you there. And look at this. Nudist arrested in Florida for going to the wrong beach. They were trying to go to blind Creek beach. It was closed. They went to little mud boat ramp. That's not a euphemism. And got thrown in some special silver handcuffs.
Joey Jones
They never look like you want them to.
Kennedy
Paul, can you do it in 10?
Paul Morrow
All right, so apparently in San Francisco, the dog fell off a and the fire department managed to rescue this dog that was clinging to the side. They did a great job. According to the rescue captain, the dog was wagging his tail and giving everyone kisses. Listen to the 5ad free on Amazon music with your prime membership or subscribe.

Notable Quote
"If you tabulated the opportunity costs of fabricated fears just on climate change alone, it's $1.3 trillion a year that was spent. And you actually had applied that to actual problems... how many problems could have been solved if we didn't sink all of that money into an imaginary fear?"
