Optimism isn't sunshine and rainbows. It's fixing things, changing the way we fix things. It's running the world on smarter energy. Because if optimism never stops, then change can't either. GE Vernova the energy of change to the 5. All right. Hello, everyone. I'm Sandra Smith along with Emily Compagno Kennedy, Jesse Waters, and Greg Gutfeld. It is five o' clock in New York City, and this is the five. Man, they're picking on me. All right. Democrats struggling to find a way to counter President Trump as their party's popularity is stuck at an all time low. Leaders on the left trying everything from social media videos to cursing to steal some attention from the President. Trump is taking notice and has some tips.
- [00:52]
Jesse Waters
They're just trying so hard and it's not working.
- [00:56]
Greg Gutfeld
They've even now started imitating me, of all people.
- [00:59]
Jesse Waters
They want to imitate me.
- [01:00]
Greg Gutfeld
And they start using foul language, but.
- [01:02]
Jesse Waters
They use too much of it. You know, you can't use the F.
- [01:05]
Greg Gutfeld
Word seven times in one sentence. It doesn't work. It might work once every seven news.
- [01:10]
Jesse Waters
Conferences, but you can't do it.
- [01:13]
Greg Gutfeld
You can't do it seven times in one sentence.
- [01:15]
Jesse Waters
So I don't know.
- [01:16]
Greg Gutfeld
They're, they're, they're really, they're in big trouble, that party.
- [01:20]
Sandra Smith
So the party also trying to find a way to appease its base that is marching in the streets and urging Senator Chuck Schumer to keep the government shut down. DNC Chair Ken Martin making clear that the rhetoric will stay ramped up if.
- [01:34]
Jesse Waters
We reach that break the glass moment.
- [01:36]
Greg Gutfeld
When all of our democratic institutions have failed us.
- [01:39]
Jesse Waters
Right. And we are truly in a dictatorship and an authoritarian regime here has completely shredded the Constitution, then party doesn't matter, and then elections don't matter. And then the resistance looks completely different. But until we reach that moment, and we may be nearing it, Jason, don't get me wrong, the role of the Democratic Party is singular to win elections.
- [02:00]
Sandra Smith
And now senior White House officials are telling ABC that President Trump is likely to name the new $300 million ballroom after himself. This news is sure to set off liberals who are already worked up into a frenzy about it. Here's a side by side of Trump's rendition of a ballroom with the Winter Palace Ballroom in St. Petersburg.
- [02:22]
Kennedy
Russia.
- [02:23]
Jesse Waters
Yeah, Russia.
- [02:23]
Greg Gutfeld
Russia, Russia.
- [02:24]
Emily Compagno
We are living in that crazy, wacky.
- [02:27]
Kennedy
Alternate universe that Obama conjured up that night.
- [02:30]
Greg Gutfeld
Betty Ford, that's her at her desk. She once famously said, if the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the Heart. Well, it has been ripped out. Good. Symbolic of the changes that Donald Trump's second term is bringing.
- [02:44]
Jesse Waters
What do they look like? Maybe a natural disaster or more commonly these days, war or terrorism.
- [02:50]
Sandra Smith
Jesse, the media, the legacy media, the liberals, they're losing their minds over this.
- [02:56]
Jesse Waters
A ballroom gate. So do you know that when you have a state dinner, you have to use a tent? And there's nowhere to go to the bathroom, so you have to have a porta potty. We are making dignitaries from foreign countries go to the bathroom in porta potties. This is a gift to the country, a gift to any other Democrat. President Barack Obama spent 400 million to do a basketball court and rewire a few pipes. This thing is a legacy. Of course, he's naming it after himself. Trump steaks, Trump water. Trump wine. I'm not surprised Greg understands. Also a well timed F bomb. Nothing better than that. The problem is Democrats think Trump got to the White House through F bombs. He didn't. They look at him as so one dimensional. The guy can drop a few F bombs, but he could also be the most tender man when he's comforting families in pain or orchestrating grand strategy with power players throughout the world. Or a policy wonk. He's kind of a policy wonk. So this guy's multidimensional because he's a person and he honed these skills over decades in the media. It's not something you can copy in a playbook. Politics is about people. The Democrats are so obsessed with identity politics. They don't know their own identity. They have to figure out who they. And in a really simple way, Bubba did it. Barack Obama did it. They're going to have to do it themselves. Donald Trump became president because he was himself. Remember all those people, oh, he has to be more presidential. And he was like, no, I'm going to do it my way. I can be modern day presidential. And that's why you see him strafing people with feces. The challenge all politicians nationally have is you have to embrace your base and then you have to unite it with the moderate establishment part of your party. And then you have to peel off a slight majority. Independence. That's how you win national elections. The problem the Democrats are having is there's this wide gap between their base and the rest of their party. Trans open borders, no cash bail. There's no way the establishment wing can get out there and say they're for that stuff because then they lose. So they have to lie about it or they have to be sneaky. About it and then the voters can sniff that out. We can smell phoniness, smell it right here at the set.
- [05:26]
Sandra Smith
And hypocrisy, I imagine Kennedy, I mean, you, you look at the building of this ballroom and you look back to Jesse's point of the Obama days and the building that went on then. And we rolled tape earlier, pipes. Yeah, we rolled tape there. And like the media was celebrating the changes made to the White House under Obama.
- [05:43]
Kennedy
Yes, it doesn't matter. It wouldn't matter what they did under Obama. It was caused to throw parade and maybe give him another Nobel Peace Prize. And it doesn't matter what happens with Trump. Do you realize that no one is talking about the Gaza peace deal? And if this were President Obama who had orchestrated that, it would still be on the COVID of the New York Times every single day and probably for the next five or six weeks. I am heartened to know that our president is in fact so versatile. He is a tender wonk. I didn't realize we were going to put those two wonderful tastes together tonight. It is like a Reese's peanut butter cup of politics. But it just goes to show you, when you have Ken Martin out there, the head of the Democrat Party, talking about he's not talking to independent voters and that is arguably the largest voting bloc in the country. When he says that the singular cause for Democrats is winning elections, it's like, well, it should be about more than that. It should be about getting the government back to work, making sure that federal employees are paid, that, that service men and women can provide for their families. Because guess what, a lot of people who have government jobs, they don't have months and months of savings because they have been taxed to the gills like every other working American. So it better be about more than just our team winning. And that's why they're losing, because they need to come up with ideas that service men and women working hard in this country regardless of party.
- [07:18]
Sandra Smith
Greg, what did you think of President Trump offering those tips to Democrats who think that dropping F bombs and raising the rhetoric, you know, you know, is going to take, you know, it just.
- [07:29]
Greg Gutfeld
Shows you how selfless he is that he's willing to share that information. Look, you know, this, this so called reporting on the ballroom would have been really great before Google. Think about it. All you got to do is go on Google AI and go, were there any renovations in the White House previous to Trump? Can you give me the list of them and prices? If you did that, you would have done more reporting than everybody On MSNBC and CNN combined. Think about that. They assume you won't. They assume their viewers. They assume that their viewers are basically stuck to an IV of fake news. Just send it into my veins. Ballrooms, ballrooms, ballrooms. It's like, no, just go on Google and you realize what a waste of time. Now, to your, to your point, you got to remember, the left hasn't changed. We have. You know, they hated Trump, right? They hate Trump, but they also hated Reagan. They hated Bush one, they hated Bush two, they hated Romney, they hated McCain. But the difference is the old Republican guard played by the rules of the left, meaning that we were gentle when in debates and in arguments. The left didn't have to be because basically it was their turf. So what happened was, you know, you get this guy that shows up Trump and he's not polite to the Dems, and they're the dominant culture, media, academia, entertainment. This was their turf. This guy shows up, shows their ideas no respect and refuses to be docile to their idiocy. And what happens, they get more and more riled up. You know, Charlie Kirk wasn't killed just because he was right. He was killed because he embarrassed the left. That never happened before, where people just came out and you go, okay, I'm going to dismantle your ideas in front of everybody else. You're not supposed to do that with the left. We know this. Being in this industry for whatever. For me, it's been 40 years. Can you believe it? That you always had to play soft with liberals when they came at you? You had to treat them like you were talking to, like, a crazy person. A crazy person. I was going to say wife, but it's like, you know, okay, like, let's.
- [09:42]
Jesse Waters
Like, you couldn't get them, like, upset.
- [09:44]
Greg Gutfeld
You couldn't get them upset. So, like, for example, if you had to tell your, let's just say your wife something, you wouldn't be a direct statement. It would be a question. Be like, honey, do you think you should be following the GPS because the car is on the pier? You know, you wouldn't say, honey, you're on the pier. This is ridiculous. But so you'll notice that when Republicans and conservatives used to debate with the left, it would always be posed as questions and it would always be really gentle. And now that is not the case. The left depended on the expectation that we were respectful of their irrational emotions. Right now that's not the case. They're spiraling. The only thing is, we can't go back. Trump has opened the door for us to, to actually meet them where they are, on their turf. They're no longer superior to us in this cultural war. We're with them. They hate it.
- [10:38]
Sandra Smith
You know, Emily, can you imagine the day that President Trump has the ribbon cutting ceremony for the Trump Ballroom going to be amazing.
- [10:47]
Emily Compagno
And then after that we shall do that. Cha cha cha. Look, I think it's so telling in the entire Democrats party's flailing right now that they're seeing themselves as drowning. And they've been framing this as essentially an apocalypse. Right. We have the DNC chair saying that, you know, we're nearing a point where elections don't even matter. And that kind of hopelessness is sending this strong message to everyone that they don't see a future whatsoever. It is not about vitality and momentum, which is how Republicans are framing it and how they are seeing it. But the Democrats are just projecting essentially that we're, we're half a step until, you know, rolling over and playing dead. That is why so much money is going for the first time in a decade, Republicans surpassing Democrats in terms of the fundraising, this large volume scale. It's because that is what actually signals hope and prosperity and vitality. And when you talk about campaign law and crisis messaging like that line between defend democracy and democracy is already dead. Turnout is really telling and one motivates turnout and one just depresses it. And so I see frankly that the Democrats have written their own eulogy already. They're already six feet under in their mind. So what they have left is flailing and swearing and f bombs and focusing on building or erections or I mean buildings and demolitions and whatever those questions are and putting the wrong photos up of the Buckingham Palace. Right. Whereas the Republicans are focusing on actually.
- [12:15]
Greg Gutfeld
Building something, correcting it, focus less on erections.
- [12:20]
Emily Compagno
That's exactly.
- [12:21]
Greg Gutfeld
Yes.
- [12:23]
Kennedy
One letter changes everything, Greg.
- [12:24]
Greg Gutfeld
It certainly does.
- [12:26]
Sandra Smith
Gosh, thank you for that.
- [12:27]
Greg Gutfeld
If you have. If you suffer from four hours of elections, see me.
- [12:33]
Sandra Smith
All right, just ahead, JB Pritzker ramps up his anti ice rhetoric by claiming agents are racist. Hey, it's Brittany Aldean here. Optimism isn't sunshine and rainbows. It's fixing things, changing things, changing the way we fix things.
- [13:01]
Kennedy
Rolled up sleeves, breaking through growing power.
- [13:05]
Greg Gutfeld
To meet growing needs.
- [13:07]
Sandra Smith
Working to run the world on smarter energy every day, taking power where the grid's never been, then getting up and doing it again. Because if optimism never stops, then change can't either. Ge vernova the energy of change.
- [13:28]
Jesse Waters
The bigger they are, the harder they fall during an interview with Bret Baier. Governor JB Back Ribs tried defending his insane anti ICE stance by claiming that agents are just a bunch of racists. They aren't acting like law enforcement should act. They're instead literally, racially profiling, literally grabbing people, tackling them when they're US Citizens.
- [13:50]
Greg Gutfeld
And have done zero. You've referred to ICE as Kristi Noem's thugs. Would you be willing to do a ride along with ICE in Chicago to get a better understanding about what they do and what they deal with?
- [14:00]
Jesse Waters
I can see what. What they do on the streets of Chicago. But eventually, JB wasn't able to squeeze his way out of admitting that Trump has actually done an amazing job at the border. Since President Trump has taken office, we don't have the problem that existed before with people coming across the border. What I would suggest, though, is there's one more thing he could have done. He could have proposed comprehensive immigration reform.
- [14:23]
Greg Gutfeld
And gotten it passed failed.
- [14:26]
Jesse Waters
Former Mayor Lori Lightfoot is backing up JB back, spearheading a new project to track and unmask ICE agents by posting videos of them to a new online site. But the Trump administration has had it with the radical Democrats threatening law enforcement. Attorney General Pam Bondi putting Lightfoot and Pritzker on notice with the threat of potential investigations.
- [14:47]
Sandra Smith
If you are telling people to arrest our ICE officers, our federal agents, you cannot do that. You're impeding an investigation. And we will charge them if they think I want. They have not met me because we will charge them if they are violating the law. We will protect our federal agents.
- [15:08]
Jesse Waters
Emily. So these letters go out to these politicians. That means, like, one more step and you could be under investigation.
- [15:18]
Emily Compagno
Yeah. Yeah. I think thus far they've been living in a world free of consequences because they're doing it for clicks and they're doing it for their followers and not actually the constituents. And they're not doing it as public agents and arms of the same body that these agents are a part of. I thought it was frankly, despicable. Despicable. When the governor was asked, do you want to do a ride along? And he had the audacity to not even say yes and not mean it and just, oh, I know. I see on there on air. And he commented earlier as he called them racist, and Bret Bear called him on, you know, tell me about the evidence. And he said, I've seen those videos. I've seen the videos on the Internet. What exactly are you talking about? How can you glean racial profiling from whatever TikTok account you're enjoying while you're not doing your exercise. To me, it's absolutely beneath the governor of a state like that to come on with that smugness and sort of dabble in his split screen politics. Right. I mean, this is why the GOP owns competence and conviction, because we have him speaking out of one side of his mouth, admitting that border crossings have fallen, of illegal immigrants, admitting that under the Trump administration, things work. And then he's also demonizing and vilifying law enforcement agents and thinking that that's going to propel him to the, to the Oval Office. I mean, it's not just hypocrisy, it is strategic incoherence. And I think he thinks right now that he's dancing on this tightrope like the hippos with the tutus. But at the end of the day, he's going to lose the independent voters that want to seek competence and want to see thoughtful analysis of this law enforcement conundrum they have there. And he's going to lose all the moderates in the middle that say, you know what, crime is decreasing so he can go ahead and keep virtue signaling to that far, far left small group. But that's not going to win him elections and it's not going to win the constituents safety.
- [17:01]
Jesse Waters
The Hippo with the 2, 2 Kennedy, he's running for president.
- [17:04]
Sandra Smith
Sexy.
- [17:05]
Jesse Waters
Do you think going on Brett bears kind of like a test? Do you think he passed that test?
- [17:10]
Kennedy
No, I don't think he passed that test. And I thought Brett did a very effective job of coming in stealthily and painting him into a corner with his own words, which is, you know, it's frankly, good journalism because J.B. pritzker is the kind of guy that you don't have to beat on the head with baseball bats because he's done it himself. And, you know, just simply asking him questions like, would you do a ride along? Emily's absolutely right about that. There's only one right answer there because it just goes to show he doesn't like law enforcement. And it would probably be better for his city if he could have an experience from within and be able to tell people, this is what I saw, this is what I liked. I. This is what is not working. That's what a leader does. And, you know, he could also probably win a few points with his own police departments in the state who, you know, they're crestfallen. They have been beaten into submission the way they have been in Portland and L. A and everywhere else. And, you know, it's like they get sat on enough by their, their giant bully of a governor, the hippo with the jutsu.
- [18:14]
Jesse Waters
And that hippo is worth a lot of money, right? What is he worth? Couple Bill he doesn't care about much. He bought the office and who cares what happens to the city.
- [18:23]
Sandra Smith
I give, I give him credit for finally coming on fox. He should probably do more of that so people can hear what he really has to say. The point or the part of the interview we decided to give advice to Donald Trump after crediting him for his policies is pretty rich considering his party was in denial that the borders were open under the entire Biden presidency. In fact, the DHS secretary and almost every Democrat insisting that the border was closed. So that was a very interesting moment for me. I come from a unique perspective, a born and raised Chicagoan. I say leaders like Pritzker and the mayor of Chicago have destroyed that city. So much has gone wrong there and they're having a really hard time recruiting top talent to the companies there. So, so much so that they've had to a lot of the big companies flee. He was wrong on the murder rate in that interview. He still paints a picture of a lovely lakefront in Chicago with no crime and perfectly pleasant here. He's out of touch. And perhaps one of the most notable points in that interview was when he said we want the bad guys off the streets. He wasn't talking about criminals, he was talking about our ICE agents. I mean, that rhetoric has to stop.
- [19:30]
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, Greg, remember Jerry Mathers is the beaver. He looks like he ate him. You know, Brett ate his lunch when you watch that. But it's okay for him because he had two beforehand anyway. But you heard him say this. He what he kept, he said these two words over and over again about Trump. He could have. Could have. So basically what he, what he's admitting is that Trump, what Trump did was effective. Was, was effective, but it wasn't good. It wasn't good enough because it's never about the result for him or for most Democrats. It's about the process. The process has to be ongoing and it has to be going a gravy train of conferences and conversations and press events and dinners. But you never get to the action because then that's when the gravy train runs out. This is why homelessness rises as the budget for homelessness rises. Same thing with fighting drugs or illegals. They never gets addressed. You just keep having a conversation. Trump is Trump aligns perfectly with the American voter. We're kind of done with conversations. And if you look at this is what I think scares Democrats the most. If you look at what he did with the border, it showed you how easy it was. How do you think that's not possible with homelessness or with crime or any other kind of practical problem. Not imaginary, but real. The Dems are terrified that Trump is exposing to America. Everything that the Dems have told us must be accepted. This is these things are just the way life is and they guess they just get the money. But he's just saying, no, I can fix this and I can fix this and I can fix this and he's fixing them.
- [21:18]
Jesse Waters
Yeah, he made it look easy and now they look stupid. Coming up. You can bet on that. Somehow liberals are blaming Trump for the giant NBA gambling bust.
- [21:35]
Emily Compagno
Foreign.
- [21:40]
Greg Gutfeld
Country. Watch it live at noon Eastern Monday through Thursday@fox news.com or on the Fox News YouTube channel. And don't miss the show. Listen and follow the podcast five days a week at Fox newspodcasts.com or wherever you download your favorite podcasts.
- [22:01]
Kennedy
Yep, they will blame Trump for just about anything. Somehow the major basketball betting bust is Trump's fault. The FBI arrested 31 people, including NBA stars, for their roles in mafia linked gambling and sports rigging schemes. It includes accusations that an NBA coach was used to lure high rollers to rig poker games. Another alleged racket involved NBA players who faking injuries to help crooks win sports bets. The evidence seems pretty clear, but Steve Nay Smith is claiming the motivation for the sting is Trump's hatred for the NBA.
- [22:37]
Jesse Waters
We've seen athletes get in trouble with the law before. You don't see the director of the.
- [22:44]
Greg Gutfeld
FBI having a press conference. It's not coincidental.
- [22:48]
Jesse Waters
Don't be surprised that the WNBA is.
- [22:51]
Greg Gutfeld
Next on his list because when you've.
- [22:54]
Jesse Waters
Got all of these protests that have.
- [22:55]
Greg Gutfeld
Been going out there and people that.
- [22:56]
Jesse Waters
Have been protesting against them and what have you.
- [22:59]
Greg Gutfeld
This man is coming. In his eyes, folks tried to throw him in jail. In his eyes, he's innocent. They try to put me behind bars. I'm getting everybody. He's not playing.
- [23:12]
Kennedy
Do not come. Do not come. FBI Director Cash Patel is dunking on Smith's wild claim.
- [23:21]
Jesse Waters
I'm the FBI director. I decide which arrest to conduct and which not to conduct.
- [23:25]
Greg Gutfeld
That may be the single dumbest thing I've ever heard out of anyone in modern history. And I live most of my time in Washington, D.C. it's right up there with Adam Schiff. We arrest people for crimes.
- [23:36]
Kennedy
I did appreciate the FBI director's Comments, Jesse. But I mean, looking at this, it's pretty damning. How widespread could this be?
- [23:46]
Jesse Waters
Well, we're about to find out. Or they'll just sweep it under the rug like they usually do. There's too much betting going on in professional sports. There's too much money to be made. But this Investigation started in 2023. Who was President then? I believe it was auto pen. They had a task force with the FBI and the NYPD looking in to dirty gaming. And they saw a bunch of mafia. So it started with the mafia, and the mafia led them to the NBA. They didn't target the NBA, and it led to the mafia. It was the other way around. Now, Stephen A. Has no evidence here, but the guys played ball in college. He's covered the league for decades. He's protective of it, all right. He gets a little prickly. It's like if someone was to accuse Fox of corruption. It's not like I haven't heard these rumors before. I actually was very suspicious because Greg for years would mention his buddy Scott Adams. And so I started thinking, every time he mentioned Scott Adams, Scott Adams numbers go up and then, does Greg get a kickback? And so I was a whistleblower. I went to Chris Wray and I brought him the evidence, and he went after the J6ers instead. I'm on to you.
- [24:57]
Kennedy
Are you on to Stephen A. Smith?
- [24:58]
Greg Gutfeld
Yes. I can't believe Jesse missed this whole story. So sometimes, sometimes I'm on the five, and I won't have an opinion and a topic will come up about. And I'll just still jump off an opinion cliff. Like, remember that time I arbitrarily supported childhood slavery, which I regret it. But the thing is, I had nothing to say. That's what. Smith doesn't have to address every topic. He didn't. This was like he didn't know what to say. And he just. He likes to create noise with every pronouncement. This was idiotic. Idiotic. But I got, I got to say, God, I miss the days of this kind of crime story. You know, it's, it's, it's nice and it's colorful as opposed to horrifying. I'll take an illegal gambling ring over some psychotic zombie pushing women in front of subways. This is the crime. You could read and not get sick to your stomach. Everything, everything could be corrupted. But what makes gambling different is that you could die. You're dealing with the mob. That takes care of itself. It's like you get cement shoes. But government is Different. That's why you have to pay. That's what. Trump doesn't care about this. He doesn't care about gambling. He compares. He's obsessed with government fraud because there's billions of it. I think, I think, I think our government has never been this corrupt. If you just take one state like Minnesota, $250 million in Covid relief fraud, they have a Feeding Our Future, that food program fraud, that's another couple of hundred million. Housing, Medicaid, that's one state. This stuff makes gambling look like jaywalking. And there's no accountability. At least the mob has accountability.
- [26:46]
Kennedy
So what kind of, what kind of time are these people looking at if they are in fact convicted?
- [26:51]
Emily Compagno
Significant. Especially because from the federal level, they always use as their arms of deterrence and sort of weaponry in the negotiations these charges that have 20 years minimum per, including even just using the Internet. I mean, this is, I agree with you, this is a phenomenal criminal ring that when you talk about entertainment, this has all the boxes checked, right? And professional sports, the faking injuries and the detail of wearing certain contact lenses and the poker card machine, all the different states, the mafia. But that's why when Stephen A. Smith said those comments, it was so jarring. It's like you're in the middle of a great movie and the lights are off and then someone comes in and turns the lights on, like, hey, are you guys home? It just ruins the moment. President has nothing to do with this. And there's enough fodder in there, I would think, for a lifelong sports commentator to distinguish the integrity of the league and athletes and to distance themselves from organized crime, to say, here's why this is the exception. And then to have the co host too be like, mm, what are you talking about?
- [27:52]
Greg Gutfeld
I mean, honestly, the idea that Trump is like, I gotta get back at the wnba, it's like, and by the.
- [27:59]
Kennedy
Way, let's end up some charges and run those ladies out of the league.
- [28:03]
Emily Compagno
It just annoys me too, because the defense is going to use this and they're going to submit a motion and say, look at public perception. And this is influencing and this is bias. And this is all the thing. It's like just giving in to more fodder. Where these celebrities, I think sort of dabble in this defamation adjacent gray area and think they're absolved because there's a microphone in their face. Like there's a camera there, but there's a lot of people listening.
- [28:26]
Kennedy
It doesn't sound like there's going to be a Lot of absolution. But these, these charges are wild. You had X ray poker tables. You had the players with special contacts and glasses so they could see invisible ink on the cards. And somehow that's tied into assistant coaches who knew about injuries and tip people off so they could make all kinds of personal information.
- [28:48]
Sandra Smith
As a 23 page indictment is 20 years max for the wire fraud, 20 years for the money laundering. But the thing that intrigues me the most is, is the risk that they took on doing this. I mean, these are people who are making millions of dollars a year that are taking on bets for like $10,000. I don't know what they saw as far as the risk versus reward, but they didn't assess that very well. They also put their families at risk as well as their careers. As the indictment says, $7 million was lost over two, two years. I mean, you know, make the case that that's small or big, but that's there's victims tied to that. I think this is going to turn out to be much more vast than we already know. I mean, that still sounds like a small amount of number considering the players involved in the amount of money that could be potentially tied up in it. I'm into the story and I want to see where it goes next.
- [29:39]
Kennedy
And we'll see who they'll get to talk in order to implicate other people, which to your point, could broaden the whole thing. Speaking of broads, the Fastest is up next. Stay with us.
- [29:50]
Sandra Smith
I hate to give the satisfaction asking how you're doing now.
- [29:53]
Kennedy
How's the castle built of people you.
- [29:55]
Jesse Waters
Pretend to care about just what you.
- [29:58]
Sandra Smith
Wanted if you're an illegal alien.
- [30:09]
Emily Compagno
Welcome back. Time for the Fastest.
- [30:11]
Kennedy
First up.
- [30:14]
Emily Compagno
Controversy is brewing over a brewery defending their policy to boot kiddos after 7pm In a Facebook post, the Ohio Beer spot blamed parents for letting their unsupervised kids turn the tap room into a playground. Kennedy, yay or nay.
- [30:29]
Kennedy
They can do whatever they want. This is, this is an independent business. If they don't want kids after seven, no kids after seven. You, this, you're not entitled to turn a brewery into a playpen. I'm sorry. And it's like if moms want to go there after school, after pickup, have a pint and hang out with the kids for a little while, then go home at 7 o'.
- [30:51]
Sandra Smith
Clock.
- [30:51]
Kennedy
Be with your kids at home.
- [30:53]
Emily Compagno
Jesse. I was sort of horrified on Mother's Day when at this winery I saw that the ratio of kids to parents were like 800,000 million to, like, two. And then this one woman was wearing a shirt that said, it takes a village and a winery. And I was like, oh, so the parents are in uproar. But to Kennedy's point, maybe you just want to enjoy a beer sans children.
- [31:10]
Jesse Waters
Sure. But sometimes you bring your kids to the bar so they can drink. I give my kids wine. Not liquor wine. And I think it's a good thing to encourage small amounts of alcohol consumption so when they do go to college, they're ready for it. And if you think I'm serious, you're crazy. That happened to me one time. So I bring the kids to this restaurant. It's tented. It's like a state dinner. And they were going crazy, but it was loud, so it was like, who cares? Guy comes up to me, I'm sitting down like that, he goes, get your effing kids under control. This place isn't a playground.
- [31:44]
Greg Gutfeld
Whoa.
- [31:44]
Jesse Waters
And I thought he was a fan, so I was like. And he wasn't.
- [31:50]
Emily Compagno
You're, like, autographing the napkin for him.
- [31:52]
Jesse Waters
And he's like, whoa.
- [31:53]
Emily Compagno
Sorry, Sandra. But maybe the 7pm thing, then. That's a good compromise.
- [31:56]
Sandra Smith
When is it controversial to, say, 21 and over in a bar? I don't know what's going on. I won't say that sometimes I want a kid free place because I don't want to see kids. But I fall into this world of, like, I feel bad that that kid's still out. Like, right now, the kid should be home. So I don't have anything against this. And the business, to your point, can do whatever they want.
- [32:15]
Emily Compagno
Weirdly, I don't mind babies, but it's like walking, talking. That's annoying.
- [32:18]
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, tell me about it. You know, it's amazing how when you join a new tribe, your views change. Like, the moment I had a child, I immediately stopped eating them for breakfast. But they also said, no unaccompanied teens, which, if this catches on, Leo DiCaprio. Very lowly, you know? Okay, I agree. A bar is not a playground, but then a playground is not a bar. I would like to see us be a little bit more disciplined with who hangs out in public places drinking and smoking dope all the time. You're right, Kenny. This is a private place. We can make a choice or whatever, but I don't have a choice when I'm. When I'm trying to walk my dog and there's all this weird crap going on. I don't like that one bit. Kennedy. And I'm talking to you.
- [33:08]
Kennedy
Get out of my yard, Greg.
- [33:12]
Emily Compagno
All right, guys, Fan mail Friday is up next.
- [33:33]
Greg Gutfeld
Yes. Van mail. All right, first question from Jackie. Oh, what is a job? You are 100% sure you would be terrible at Sandra.
- [33:44]
Sandra Smith
I thought about that one.
- [33:46]
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, you thought about it?
- [33:47]
Sandra Smith
Yeah, I think I know. Okay, Interior designer or decorator? I know the difference. Designer is more like architecture designer. I have a hard time putting together, like, colors. My husband says I'm colorblind. I'm not sure if I actually am.
- [34:01]
Greg Gutfeld
No, you're racist.
- [34:01]
Sandra Smith
Like, textbook textures all. I cannot pull it together. I need help with that.
- [34:06]
Greg Gutfeld
All right, Jesse.
- [34:07]
Jesse Waters
I just can't believe Jackie is still alive. Is this really the Jackie mechanic? I had a hard time opening up the hood. Oh, my God, there's a button. I just couldn't find it.
- [34:18]
Emily Compagno
I can't.
- [34:18]
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah. Wow. You got to take air out of tires.
- [34:23]
Kennedy
Kennedy, don't perpetuate that.
- [34:26]
Jesse Waters
You have no idea.
- [34:29]
Greg Gutfeld
Candy.
- [34:30]
Kennedy
Disgusting.
- [34:30]
Jesse Waters
Yeah.
- [34:31]
Greg Gutfeld
What? You.
- [34:31]
Kennedy
I would be a horrible poet laureate.
- [34:34]
Greg Gutfeld
Yes, you would. How about you?
- [34:39]
Emily Compagno
A teacher.
- [34:40]
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, yeah, you would. You hate children.
- [34:42]
Sandra Smith
You'd be amazing teacher.
- [34:43]
Kennedy
That is so amazing teacher.
- [34:45]
Emily Compagno
I. I think I would be too honest, too blunt. I'd be like, no, actually, like, I would have no patience. You know, I couldn't be nice all day, every day. Like, I think I would get mad.
- [34:54]
Jesse Waters
You're nice every day here to adult.
- [34:57]
Emily Compagno
I think. I think I would be a terrible teacher. People who, like, want to teach. I'm just like, oh, my gosh, you are saint. Like, I don't have that bone.
- [35:03]
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah.
- [35:03]
Emily Compagno
I don't school.
- [35:04]
Greg Gutfeld
I'd be a terrible doctor.
- [35:05]
Emily Compagno
He adults.
- [35:06]
Sandra Smith
Oh, yeah.
- [35:07]
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah. Because if you annoyed me, I just let you die. All right, what is your most embarrassing or hilarious celebrity encounter? Kennedy, you're gonna have to think of a new one. Oh, Emily, your face is exploding.
- [35:20]
Emily Compagno
Okay, so one time, my sister owned this bookstore in Los Angeles, and I was in it, and it was the last day of my visit there. And so all of my clothes that were dirty, like, I hadn't done the laundry. So I was only weari what was left, which happened to be the weirdest sweatpants and sweatshirt ratio together, like, purple and gold. It was like both had University of Washington everywhere. I was also wearing a purple like or a floral, like, backpack and carry my suitcase. Whatever. So I looked like a freak. And then I'm in there, and all of a sudden, a customer turns around and who is it? Jake Gyllenhaal.
- [35:46]
Greg Gutfeld
Not Jake Gyllenhaal.
- [35:48]
Emily Compagno
Then we're, like, talking about questions. And of course, I start talking too much and saying weird things. So I talked about how the global, like, polar. You know, how the polar magnetism is actually changing as we were talking about the clock. And I started talking about that, and he was looking at me. Just. I'm sort of, like, embarrassed in this moment. I'm talking too much. But that's exactly what happened. And then I left. Literally. I wanted whatever she's having.
- [36:05]
Kennedy
Yeah.
- [36:06]
Greg Gutfeld
Kennedy. Do you know what she said?
- [36:09]
Kennedy
We are all Jake Gyllenhaal. I have so many funny celebrity encounters. Like, Steven Spielberg almost hit me with his car at Gelson's. Chris, the guy who played Batman, he was, like, super handsome for a while. Also at Gelson's, hid from me because he thought I was following him around the store. But he kept going to the aisle where I had to go. Yeah, he was on, like.
- [36:33]
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, he went one of the SVU.
- [36:35]
Kennedy
Shows with LL Cool J. Yeah, that guy.
- [36:37]
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, he was.
- [36:38]
Kennedy
I wasn't following you. I don't like you. You're too white bread for me. Now, if it were Chris Rock or Eddie Murphy.
- [36:47]
Greg Gutfeld
Jesse, you've had plenty. Don't tell the one about the basketball player.
- [36:49]
Jesse Waters
I got a new one.
- [36:50]
Greg Gutfeld
Okay.
- [36:51]
Jesse Waters
Bubba Watson, he just won the Masters and he was in the green room for Fox and Friends, and he had the green jacket. And I go, bubba, congrats. Could I try on the green jacket? And he looked at me and said, no. Just walked away in shame.
- [37:05]
Greg Gutfeld
Dang.
- [37:05]
Sandra Smith
Wow, you're really having a hard time.
- [37:07]
Jesse Waters
You think? I don't know. Am I having a whole lot?
- [37:12]
Sandra Smith
Sandra, I ran into Harold Ford Jr. At the grocery store the other day. True story.
- [37:17]
Emily Compagno
And I was in the middle of.
- [37:18]
Sandra Smith
Cooking and ran out of some ingredients, and I did not.
- [37:21]
Kennedy
Did he say goodbye to everybody? Sandra?
- [37:25]
Greg Gutfeld
I think the most embarrassing one was when Brad Pitt came home and I had to crawl out the window. All right, one more thing.
- [37:46]
Jesse Waters
For type 2 diabetes.
- [37:50]
Sandra Smith
It is time now for one more thing. And we are starting with. It doesn't say Jesse.
- [37:55]
Jesse Waters
Okay. Big hockey fight. Let's see it. Rangers game last night. Matt Rempe and Ryan Reeves. Look at these guys go. Look at these guys go. Come on, come on, come on, come on. Let's go. We got him. There we go. It's still going.
- [38:12]
Kennedy
It's old time hockey.
- [38:13]
Sandra Smith
Oh, my.
- [38:13]
Jesse Waters
That's hurt pretty good. Yeah, these guys went at it. Sharks ended up winning 6, 5, and OT tonight. Jesse Waters, prime time. We have Shellenberger, Lydia Moynihan, Carly Shimkus. And Ashley Stromire.
- [38:24]
Greg Gutfeld
8Pm that's cool.
- [38:26]
Sandra Smith
How about Greg?
- [38:27]
Greg Gutfeld
How about Greg? Oh, Sandra, you are really an angel. Thank you. Tonight, 10:00pm we have a great show. Kat, Tim, Jim Florentine, Katie Miller. First time on. She's adorable. Tyrus. 10pm let's do this. Craig's Evil Wind News starring Brett Shroom.
- [38:45]
Emily Compagno
Oh, my God.
- [38:45]
Greg Gutfeld
Check out this gust of wind blowing a woman into traffic. This is Wellington, New Zealand. Jesus. Fill this up. Jesse something. Jesse, this happened a lot on Special Report when we'd have Geraldo on. He was just a big bag of hot air and we would just blow across. Delightful. Juan Williams would just be shaking his head. Anyway, Wendy, Wellington. That's what they say.
- [39:12]
Sandra Smith
Sandra, that was special. Greg, thank you for that.
- [39:14]
Greg Gutfeld
You're welcome.
- [39:15]
Emily Compagno
All right, guys. Well, tonight be sure to watch after you watch Jesse, Game one of the World Series.
- [39:20]
Greg Gutfeld
Don't watch that.
- [39:23]
Emily Compagno
In between Jesse show and Greg show, you're gonna watch the World Series, guys. Ohtani and the Dodgers facing off against Guerrero Jr. And the Blue Jays in the Fall Classic.
- [39:32]
Sandra Smith
Okay, Kennedy.
- [39:34]
Kennedy
Yeah. Blue Jays have no chance here. I'm not just saying that because I'm a Yanks fan, but they got no shots. I'll be watching and drinking because I'm sad.
- [39:45]
Sandra Smith
Look at this.
- [39:45]
Kennedy
A little tiny baby kitten was adopted after being found in a concrete barrier in Washington State I5 near Tacoma Teton. They rescued the kitten and one of the state troopers adopted this little tiny baby Lambo.
- [40:01]
Sandra Smith
That's a beautiful story.
- [40:03]
Greg Gutfeld
It really is, Sandra. Thank you for pointing that out.
- [40:07]
Sandra Smith
Thank you for that, Kennedy. This is very therapeutic. I must add the show. Okay, Denise Bacon, this is a really lovely story. From East Sussex has been battling Parkinson's disease, which made it difficult for her to walk, swim, dance. Jesse, no. Okay.
- [40:20]
Jesse Waters
That's Truck.
- [40:21]
Sandra Smith
And play her clarinet. But during a recent procedure, she experienced an immediate improvement in her finger movement, allowing her to play the clarinet with ease while still undergoing surgery.
- [40:31]
Kennedy
Never had one lesson.
- [40:33]
Sandra Smith
Denise, we wish you the best. I think that is incredible that she could do that while they were operating.
- [40:38]
Kennedy
Wow.
- [40:39]
Greg Gutfeld
Very special.
- [40:40]
Sandra Smith
Did you like that, Greg?
- [40:41]
Greg Gutfeld
That was so wonderful. You know, these uplifting one more things are the things that I look forward to most throughout the whole day, especially when you're.
- [40:47]
Sandra Smith
I thought it was fuzzy animals and things like that.
- [40:49]
Greg Gutfeld
No, that's just to keep my soul barely here.
- [40:54]
Jesse Waters
Are we still here?
- [40:55]
Greg Gutfeld
No. I don't know. We have 15 seconds. Jesse, what do you have plans for tonight?
- [41:00]
Jesse Waters
Tonight I'm doing my show and I'm going home, Greg Friday for me. Unlike you, I'm not pre taping. I'm live.
- [41:06]
Greg Gutfeld
Oh.
- [41:07]
Sandra Smith
Okay, guys.
- [41:09]
