Go to Alicia Acuna who is on the ground in Tucson. Alicia?

Kayleigh McEnany (2:22)

Hi, Kaylee. The New York Post is now reporting that the FBI has found a black glove about a mile and a half from Nancy Guthrie's home and it was found in the shrubbery. There was a search today and I'll get into that in just a moment. But for right now, I want to discuss a little of the activity that our cameras caught at Annie Guthrie's home. They were here for just a short period of time. Time there were a couple of hours ago, an unmarked SUV pulled up. Two men walked inside. They were there for maybe 15 minutes. They appear to be agents of some sort, but it's also possible they are part of the Guthrie private security. Our producer shouted questions, didn't get any answers. But one of the men carried out a couple of bags from the home, and the other was wearing latex gloves. We've reached out to the FBI for confirmation on whether this was part of the investigation or. Or something else. Earlier today at Nancy Guthrie's home, this man drove up to the property and left some sort of signage with a sheriff's deputy. Interestingly, he told a local TV station he was a private investigator for the family. This is the first time we've heard of the Guthrie's hiring a private investigator. Also today we have video of FBI agents who are out today in the area just to the north and surrounding streets of Nancy's house. The bureau confirming in a statement this morning numerous FBI agents were conducting an extensive search on along multiple roadways in the Catalina Foothills area related to the Nancy Guthrie investigation. Last night, law enforcement briefly detained a man in Rio Rico, Arizona, south of Tucson. Matt Finn reports. The FBI tells Fox News Carlos palace was not pinpointed solely off of that footage of a person on Nancy Guthrie's nest cam. Kaylee Palosuelas tells Fox News that the FBI took his phone to May still have it. So we will await updates on that as well. Kelly.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (4:12)

Alicia, thank you. Let's bring in former NYPD inspector and current Fox News contributor Paul Morrow in Tucson. Paul, I'm looking at this New York Post reporting. Apparently there's images, according to the New York Post, of these investigators pulling the glove, the black glove, which resembled that of the in the video from the shrubbery. Curious. Is this connected to that Catalina foothill search and sat second. Can they get DNA off this glove?

Paul Morrow (4:40)

Well, if it is, in fact one of the gloves that the perpetrator wore at the scenes, then of course, this would be a very, very big break because of the possible DNA analysis that we've talked about. Kayleigh, you and I have talked about it many times. It's the question I asked at the press conference, which was, will you use the igg DNA? That is the DNA that is familial. And so you have a much, much greater shot of getting to somebody who is linked to your suspect, as opposed to a one to one hit, which is a very, very remote possibility. That said, that said, the idea that they've only found one glove, it's pretty far from the scene. And the fact that somebody who was very clearly extremely cautious, he was robed up foot to head to make sure. In fact, I think he had two hoods on just to make sure he didn't leave any DNA. He throws one glove out the window as he leaves the scene. It's a little bit much to believe at this point, but perps do crazy things that are inexplicable, and this would be a big, big break, and I'm sure it is related to that search.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (5:45)

Paul, thank you. One last question, and then we're going to broaden it out in the table here. There was some new reporting from Matt Finn that the look of the individual alone in the camera is not what led to the detainment of Carlos. I would have suspected that because they would have had to have a search warrant. Any indication as to what the other information was?

Paul Morrow (6:05)

Not really. I'd heard that there is, you know, potentially some digital stuff. This is what I'm reading into, that he's a delivery driver. And they asked him, in fact, Matt Finn asked him directly, have you delivered to the house in question? And he said something like, I very well might have. So I had a guess. And I'm guessing, I would think that they did some sort of a digital search relative to either people who have delivered to that place or people who have maybe put it into a mapping service, one of the mapping apps, to see if they can find their way to it. And they might have got a hit on him. And so the confluence of those factors got them enough to get over the hump for the federal search warrant. But remember something else, too. You know, in a ransom situation, a kidnapping, there's probable cause and then there's probable cause. And I would argue that in a pressured situation like this, where a woman's life is on the line, that bar comes down a bit. So we do have to bear that in mind. But it sounds like there was more than one factor. A couple of things likely came together. But as of now, he's not under arrest.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (7:07)

Dana. I mean, I'm looking at this picture of the glove at the New York Post, and we hope it's the perpetrator's glove, but we've seen what we thought was a detainment that led to nothing.

Dana Perino (7:15)

And it's also 11 days later. So, I mean, well, if that's the case and they just found it. That would be kind of strange. But we have, they haven't had bad weather either, so that might be the case. I would also ask this, Paul, can you help us make sense of these ransom notes that are going to tmz? On Newsroom this morning, Harvey Levin said an hour and a half ago we just got another one. And, but it was somebody who said that they know who the kidnappers are, but they're also asking for bitcoin. And maybe that all rings true to some. For me, I find it just a little bit hard to believe, but I wonder if you have a better sense of that.

Paul Morrow (7:54)

No, I'm with you. You know, the audience for this case is unfortunately global. And so you talk about millions of people who are following this, and all you need is a few knuckleheads who want to pile on the even first two that had the bitcoin wallet, the first two emails had the patina of a ransomware case. To me, it's very similar to how the ransomware gangs operate from behind Russia, and they're impossible to get to. And the fact that they were just so completely unwilling to provide any signs of life, any images, something from inside the house that they saw, because the stuff that they did provide was very, very thin and potentially gleanable, I would argue, from media reports. So I lean against all of these letters until I'm shown otherwise. I don't know why they put the money into the account. Maybe to just see if it works, maybe to see if it provided an alert to him and so somehow or other they could see a packet move to him that said, hey, there's money in the account. Some, some deep dive thing that they did in the cyber world. I don't see how 300 bucks would entice him to come forward and smoke him out. And there's also the possibility that it is bad guys, as I said, who are normally stealing identities and stuff, and they just went back to businesses as usual, and the 300 bucks that's in the account is them selling identities because their attempt at this ripoff didn't work.

Jesse Waters (9:15)

Jesse Paul, again, we're seeing investigators back at the sister's house and we're seeing images of them taking things from the house. At this point, after a week and a half, what items could they possibly be taking away from Annie's house?

Paul Morrow (9:36)

Yeah, it's a good question because they've been all over the place. There's, I actually lean towards it being investigators that have been hired by private Security, that is, that have been hired by the Guthrie family. Here's why. The information we've had on the scene here, they haven't been in that house in a good while now. And my information is that they are outside the city someplace, but not that far off. They don't want to show themselves. They don't want to come into town. They know all the media is out here. And so my read is that those are people who are just. They send people in to get supplies for them and the, you know, clothes and stuff. And they are being very cautious in wearing gloves and using plastic bags, because they just want to make sure that there's no argument later that they in any way tainted something that could presumably become part of the case. Now, again, that's an assumption. You know, I'm not sure about that. If that is still an evidence search team. Strikes me that it was fairly casual. You send two people back, they go in, they're in there for not all that long, and then they come out with a couple of plastic bags. That's not really how you're gathering evidence. You know, there are. There are forms, there are envelopes that it goes in that you seal it, it stays in there. You don't walk out casually swinging a plastic bag. So, you know, I lean against it at this point, still being evidence collection, but anything's possible in this case. It's been very, very surprising, Greg.

Kennedy (11:01)

So, Paul, I want to revisit my strategy to solving this case, and that would be having the least likely suspect, Savannah Guthrie, offer to do a polygraph, which will then put necessary pressure on others inside and outside the circle to do the same. Since no one has been ruled out, it's one step forward in ruling in, and anybody who says no or bristles looks unusual. What do you say to that?

Paul Morrow (11:34)

Well, my understanding as of now is that they haven't done anything relative to a polygraph. I'm not sure we would have necessarily have heard, but I think we would, the way things have been going out here. And as we all know, it's not admissible in court, but it can be a pointer. I said, look, I am surprised a little bit that we haven't heard to that kind of thinking more in terms of a reward to put pressure on somebody who is potentially around the perpetrators to come forward. And I understand what you're saying. If one of the primary victims here says, okay, I'll volunteer to do this, you know, let's see what happens with others. I get that you're trying to smoke people out that might be close to the situation. But I think a good way to smoke out people that are close to the situation is to offer a life changing reward. I understand we don't want to incentivize people to kidnap in the future. Of course, I get that. But at this point, with an 84 year old woman missing for a week and a half, I think you're at the point where you got to do something that's fairly extreme. So as far as Savannah doing that, obviously that's going to be her personal call. I don't know if they've discussed it. It may argue that inside the family they are perfectly happy with the way things have gone in terms of the investigation. Obviously they haven't gotten their mother, but I'm going to the idea that the family has been cooperative and inside the family they must feel that everybody is being forthright and that's not where the investigation should go.

Greg Gutfeld (13:03)

Kennedy, Paul, we heard a lot yesterday the phrase tickling the wire, which is a phrase that I am unfamiliar with but apparently is very common in law enforcement lexicon. So we have this big break in terms of the picture, the images, the video that we saw yesterday. Did that tickle the wire? Was there a bombardment to the two phone numbers we have up on the screen constantly and how do they sift through the information to actually find those persons of interest?

Paul Morrow (13:37)

Yeah. So generally tickling the wire is used in the wiretap context. You know, you have a wiretap that isn't really producing a whole heck of a lot and you have an investigation ongoing and you do something outside the wiretap to get the bad guys talking about what happened on the wire so that you can hear their reaction and you move the whole thing forward. And that you usually do that with an undercover or an informant who is under your control. In this case, it's a slightly different context. Tickling the wire here, I think the closest thing to that sort of analogy is what they did with the bitcoin, assuming that that was in fact the FBI that put the 300 bucks in. Like I said, I think they were probably hoping to tickle the bitcoin wire, so to speak, to get him either reaching in for the, you know, faultry amount of money or maybe as I said, seeing an alert go out or seeing him log in to check if it's there or something like that. Give them a data point to work with. And the other thing, of course, that could tickle the entire wire of the investigation writ large, was the redo the release of those videos. And they had to do that. And understand that's not an easy decision to make. We've seen it in a number of cases recently, like Tyler Robinson. They didn't want to necessarily put out that video and alert him that, hey, we have images of you, whoever did this, Charlie Kirk. But they made the mature decision to say, yeah, people are going to say we couldn't solve it, the public solved it. Who cares? You put it out if it's going to end this thing. They made that decision in the Charlie Kirk case. They did the right thing here. They had good imagery, they put it out. Hopefully they can get more. There's an argument that what they did here, they're going to be able to continue to go forward with, do more of decoding of those code packets that ultimately produce video that they were able to recover from the cache in the WI fi. And maybe you're going to get more from that camera. Maybe you could get audio. Nest cameras have audio. You could hear his voice. There's other cameras there. Maybe some of those other cameras are going to produce. We know at least one other camera alerted at some point after that camera. I'm sure they're scraping hard at that. This stuff's not easy. Google did it in 10 days. I'm sure they put their best foot forward, went at the thing that they thought was going to be most productive, but now I'm sure they're trying to get at other stuff. And so, yeah, and it may tickle the wire of somebody coming forward and saying, I see enough of that guy's walk, which is always very distinctive. That's what I'd be interested in. If we could get even if he's all masked up, if we get three seconds of him really walking clearly, I think that there's a very good chance you're going to get somebody to say, I absolutely know who that is.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (16:05)

Let's hope we get that, Paul. Thank you. Well, coming up next, President Trump defies the experts with some blockbuster jobs numbers that even the liberal media could not deny.

Paul Morrow (16:15)

I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (16:24)

This is Ainsley Earhart.

Kennedy (16:44)

Yogi every night.

Dana Perino (16:46)

So the Democrats who are feeling good about their midterm chances cannot deny that President Trump got some strong jobs numbers today. The U.S. economy adding 130,000 jobs in January, that doubled expectations. And unemployment coming in at 4.3%. That also beat expectations. And even some folks in the media admitted it was good news.

Kennedy (17:06)

This is being seen as good news even on Wall Street.

Kayleigh McEnany (17:09)

This is a hotel jobs report. I mean, there's, there's really nothing in.

Greg Gutfeld (17:14)

This not to like.

Paul Morrow (17:16)

Polls do suggest that Americans have their.

Kennedy (17:18)

Questions about deportations and even the work of Doge.

Jesse Waters (17:21)

But you certainly the jobs report higher than expected.

Paul Morrow (17:23)

That is undeniable.

Jesse Waters (17:25)

Nobody's going to rain on my parade. And these numbers are what they are.

Kennedy (17:30)

All these naysayers steeped in politics continue to be negative.

Jesse Waters (17:34)

That's okay because 50k says you've all been wrong.

Dana Perino (17:38)

And President Trump telling Larry Kudlow he's confident of Republican success in the midterms. But of course, it's all about how you sell it.

Kennedy (17:46)

If we can get the word out, we should win. The problem is that historically, two times the president's won in 50 years. Two times.

Jesse Waters (17:54)

I don't know what that is.

Paul Morrow (17:56)

We have the hottest country in the world.

Kennedy (17:58)

I guess I have to sell that because we should win in a landslide.

Jesse Waters (18:02)

And we'll do everything we can to do it.

Dana Perino (18:05)

So it's not just good jobs numbers. Crime's also down. But will President Trump get credit for that? Axios posted and then deleted this tweet. Crime plunges in major cities despite Trump's crackdown rhetoric. Okay, let's do maybe jobs first. Jesse, better. 130,000 up is better than that.

Jesse Waters (18:22)

Yeah, that was a strong number. And then I'm looking at the 33,000 construction jobs. That's a construction boom. And the construction jobs always proceed in a manufacturing boom because you have to build the factories and build the plants and then you can get things going again. Rent rates, inflation, gas, all down. He has now slashed the federal workforce to levels not seen since 1966. Slash crime to levels not seen since 1900. And now I think all time illegal alien crossings at a record low. So incomes are up and the stock market's at an all time high. If he was a Democrat, the media would cover this guy as like this economic miracle. But the country is a little traumatized from Biden nomics, so he has to be sensitive about the fact that the golden age is not gonna happen overnight. But if he just keeps hammering this thing and hammering this thing, we will get to the promised land soon enough.

Dana Perino (19:22)

All right, Greg, what do you think?

Kennedy (19:23)

Yeah, I just listened to Jesse and I have to say it's Kind of amazing, the numbers that you talk about with crime and 50,000 stock market. It's amazing. The numbers don't lie, but people do. Like, an inch is always an inch till you ask a guy how tall he is. Or a pound is a pound until you ask a lady her weight, which you shouldn't. Never do that. So the Axios thing is a great example. They admit that the crime is dropping, but then they add that word despite. So they note the numbers, they change the story with the hope that that becomes the narrative for the rest of the discredited media. But they got. This is the great thing about social media. We would say social media is bad, but that didn't last. Now, in the old days, before X was sold, that thing would have been. It would have been the bat signal, the. The conformity trigger. Like, okay, this is the story you're going to run with. It'll help you explain. Explain the number. The Times would do it, the Washington Post, everybody, Republicans, however, they can report real numbers when the Democrats were in power, so they didn't have to do this. You looked at the millions that were streaming in, documented across the border. You saw the murder rates, you saw the amount of overdoses. You didn't have to fudge it at all. So the Dems, what did they do then? They just avoided those numbers. The media avoided those numbers. They wanted plausible deniability. It's like, hey, as long as we're in the dark, you know, we can't say we knew and did these policies anyway. Also, if they actually admitted to these numbers, they'd have to abandon their policies or they'd be just psychotic and throw themselves off a bridge. But it's still a challenge for Trump. That's the thing he said, I guess I got to sell it. Yeah, that's the point. You got to sell it. Because we just explained to you that they're not going to buy it. The media is going to do everything they can. Those are amazing numbers.

Jesse Waters (21:17)

Amazing.

Kennedy (21:18)

And they're going to make them look bad. So you have to persuade and to reason at the same time. But not to the media, to the people. And we're probably the only, like, network and the only show that is, like, saying directly what's going on. And if you look at, I mean, other places, they'll just be like, oh, I had no idea.

Dana Perino (21:38)

Well, also, I think Kennedy, they have to continue to step on the gas, so to speak. So the deregulations that have been helpful so far, like, keep going. Wait, you see my. One more Thing today, I'm going to add one for you.

Kennedy (21:48)

I hope we don't have time.

Dana Perino (21:51)

Tax season is coming and they're expecting everybody to have some sort of a cut or at least at the larger, larger return than they've had in many years.

Kayleigh McEnany (21:59)

Yes.

Greg Gutfeld (21:59)

And refunds, things like that definitely help people. And that's also what helps independent voters put all of the ICE raids and the bad publicity that this administration has had from ICE behind them. Because if the midterms were held today, this administration is facing a cultural headwind. They do have to be careful in not overstepping, selling it. Because if you're telling people the economy is wonderful and they've lost their job or they can't afford to buy a house for the first time, the economy is not great for them. What they can do is move government out of the way as much as possible to allow the free market to naturally flourish. Because, you know, rates for home buyers who bought 10 years ago, they're at 3%. They are still not selling. I mean, that's one of the things that, that leads to a housing crunch for home buyers in this country. But if people feel it in their taxes, if people see it at the gas pump and they also feel it in prices, then their economy has improved, then those messages tend to resonate more. So if you've got crime that's coming down and an economy that's improving, I would be very interested to see what Democrat messaging is, because it's really, really.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (23:10)

Tough to run against that.

Dana Perino (23:11)

Haley, I noticed, obviously, feel free to talk about anything you wanted, but I noticed that you in Orlando and Tampa, places that you know pretty well, they had a 50% decline in homicides. And they weren't, they weren't the only city. But that was notable to me. 50% is quite a bit.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (23:26)

Yes. Because those are jurisdictions that partner with the Trump administration rather than trying to stand in opposition. Governor Ron DeSantis has been a great partner to President Trump. You know, one of the things that's not covered often, which I've got to say I'm thrilled about as mom and I can't believe it's not covered, is that this is the lowest rate of school shootings in four years. You can see the headline on education weekly, fewest incidents and deaths in four years. I asked Cash Patel about that, and he's literally detailed for me stories where in New York City, there was a report someone put out on social media that they were going to shoot up a school within two hours. The FBI was there, found a gun in the young man's backpack and averted what could have been a crisis at a New York City school. Those stories don't get enough attention. They should, because I think I speak for every mother in America when I say thank you for making a difference there. But one thing I would note today, and we talked about this earlier in the week, Dana, when you're putting out 20 messages from the White House, a lot gets lost. But today's a great example. There is a lot going on at the White House, but you didn't see most of it. Prime Minister Netanyahu. Yahoo. That meeting was behind closed doors. So what got attention? The President's cold message. So I think it's instructive going forward. Put the President out there strategically on something that matters. The economy, school shootings, whatever the message is, and drive it home to November.

Kennedy (24:38)

But he's also got to get the Republican voters to pretend this is a presidential election, because it is. You're going to. He's going to lose.

Greg Gutfeld (24:47)

Midterm convention.

Dana Perino (24:48)

Yes, I'm for that. All right, coming up, the socialist takeover of the Democratic Party just got some new recruits.

Kennedy (25:04)

Damn.

Paul Morrow (25:05)

Makeup is alive.

Kennedy (25:08)

Oh, makeup.

Paul Morrow (25:10)

Makeup is alive.

Kennedy (25:14)

The Dems are welcoming some new comrades in New Jersey, an aoc. And Bernie back progressive is now just one step away from Congress after her moderate opponent conceded. And over in California, a socialist member of the LA City Council whose party platform includes a plan to turn golf courses into public housing, is now launching a bid for mayor against her former ally, Karen Base.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (25:36)

Los Angeles is at a breaking point.

Kayleigh McEnany (25:38)

And people can feel it in the most basic ways.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (25:41)

It does not have to be this way. Los Angeles needs a mayor who will take responsibility for the whole system, who will demand accountability from departments, who will prepare for emergencies before they happen, who will communicate honestly when things go wrong, and who will fix what fails.

Kennedy (25:56)

Oh, yeah, Dana, you know, the Democrat Socialists of America have a 100,000 members. So not all Democrats are socialists, but all socialists are Democrats.

Dana Perino (26:07)

Wow, that's like algebra. Yes, I get it. And you're right, they're also this super organized. And even that's all they do, Dana. They organize. Last fall, I was saying, if you look, these guys are on the march. It's not just New York City. There were the candidate in Seattle, for example, the one that just won in New Jersey, the congressional district. Bernie Sanders went for that special district down there. The special election and a rally. This is not even a midterm. 1500 people show up for him. And in a race where you have not as high a turnout because it's not a presidential year. They can win. And they have. When they organize, you get together and you have practice speeches. See how she spoke into the camera? They're very good. They know exactly what they're doing. They have a huge amount of energy.

Kayleigh McEnany (26:54)

They.

Dana Perino (26:54)

They have a community. They have continuity. I think that everyone should be very careful. Now, some people will say the Republicans have a great strategy because they are going to try to get a lot of these socialists to win the primaries in the battleground states so that they will be more easily beatable in the general election. That could work very well. Maybe. I also think it's playing with fire.

Kennedy (27:18)

Yeah. And it hasn't worked out in some cases. I can't say cite any because I'm lazy. Jesse?

Dana Perino (27:23)

Yeah.

Kennedy (27:24)

This socialist challenging Bass in May for mayor in L. A. She wants to turn golf courses into public housing. Why can't it be both?

Jesse Waters (27:34)

You could just live at the golf course.

Kennedy (27:35)

Yes.

Jesse Waters (27:36)

And then I think a lot of husbands would like that.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (27:38)

Yes.

Jesse Waters (27:39)

I think you're onto something. Yeah. Nithya Rahman, like, she owns a multimillion dollar home.

Paul Morrow (27:42)

She does.

Jesse Waters (27:43)

Yeah. She's a limousine liberal. Ramen, like the noodle. We had a run in with her when I was at 7. There is a homeless guy who camped out in front of this guy's bar in her and he tried to kick him out. So what did the homeless guy do? He slung feces at the guy's bar. And you know what this ramen noodle lady did? Defended the Doug Flutia duty. And so these are the kind of dangerous radicals that we need to keep tabs on. Because I'm trying to think of the equivalent of like a right winger to this lady. Like, you can have right wingers. Like, what do they don't believe in evolution. That doesn't hurt anybody.

Kennedy (28:20)

Or it'd be like having a bona fide Nazi.

Paul Morrow (28:25)

Right.

Jesse Waters (28:26)

Well, they hurt people.

Kennedy (28:27)

No, but. No, wait, are you talking about.

Jesse Waters (28:28)

I'm just like the equivalent of like the extreme right to this extreme leftist.

Paul Morrow (28:34)

I just.

Jesse Waters (28:34)

You're going Nazi on that one, Greg.

Kennedy (28:36)

Well, a Nazi is a. I don't.

Jesse Waters (28:39)

Really see them as on our side, but anyway. That's cool that you do.

Kennedy (28:43)

What?

Jesse Waters (28:44)

Condemn Nazis, Greg. Condemn Nazis.

Kennedy (28:46)

I did. Know what I was saying? Far extreme. He was trying to come up with a far extreme. Yeah.

Jesse Waters (28:50)

I don't know, but I just. I think that.

Paul Morrow (28:52)

Fired. Yeah.

Kennedy (28:52)

They are socialists. Kennedy, I gotta ask you, because this woman is running against your favorite mayor, Karen Bass. What are your Thoughts?

Greg Gutfeld (29:01)

Resign Karen Bass, Resign. I've been saying that since January 8th of last year. You're a horrible mayor. You are so bad. A woman who wants to create more homelessness has a great shot at beating you. Just when we thought Los Angeles couldn't go far enough into the turlet, here we go to find someone who will plumb the depths. She's Mrs. Plummer. It is awful. Smarter people have to get into this race. We know Rick Caruso's out. We know Lindsay Horvath is out. We know people who actually want to do well by the city are not running. Spencer Pratt is all we have at this point.

Kennedy (29:44)

Run for the hills. Yes, you could run literally the hills. Kayleigh. Okay, people are kind of saying maybe it's an identity crisis for the Democrats or is it an inevitable path? Because they can never, they could never choose the path of common sense. Cuz Trump was in there. So they're always gonna end up. It's almost like the woke got more concentrated.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (30:03)

I think it's both. Look, number one, Democrats have a problem with this. To Dana's point. I mean, there's an insurgency of these guys. Katie Wilson, Seattle mom. Donnie, New York. You named New Jersey then. Now you've got L. A and people to judge. Said to me, oh, well, you know the socialism thing, it's labels and name calling. But no, it appears to be an ideology being embraced by the party. 66% of Democrats have a favorable view of socialism. That's Gallup. But here's the interesting part. I think it's inevitable. Greg, to your point, I think Democrats are going to be eaten by their own. Because you have these Democrats like more moderate types who are, you know, being cozy with them. It's a label, it's name calling. But look at what Kara Bass said. According to Politico, she was flabbergasted that a democratic socialist was running against her. So they're coming for you. You think you're gonna be the star of the party. You're gonna be the next presidential candidate. Watch out for AOC because she's over to your left. You may not wanna cozy up to this ideology. You may wanna call it out for what it is.

Greg Gutfeld (30:58)

Karen Bass thought she was gonna be Joe Biden's vp. Yeah, I mean, that's, that's how incompetent her lack of wherewithal, it's distressing.

Kennedy (31:07)

I wish I knew what wherewithal looked like. All right, coming up next, the Gray lady sobers up about weed. What is wherewithal? Notre Dame we know who tried to kill you.

Jesse Waters (31:28)

The New York Times is getting blunt about their push for legalization in a new op ed titled It's Time for America to Admit that it has a Marijuana Problem. More Americans now use marijuana daily than alcohol. This water use has caused a rise in addiction and other problems. I mean, Kelly, you see this on the streets here in New York City. Maybe not necessarily connected to weed, but there's a lot out of there.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (31:53)

It smells so bad in the city. This is a $30 billion industry, according to the New York Times, which is close to the annual revenue of Starbucks. And the crazy part is they said half of industry sales come from the 20% that they call heavy users. So those are the people buying marijuana. New York Times. You're late to the game. I just want to give myself a little hat tip. Back when I was in law school, I would go on HLN all the time with Dr. Drew Pinsky, who I love. I was like the resident anti marijuana person and was like the only blonde girl out there, like argue against it. So that's like how I made my career. Thanks for coming around Times.

Jesse Waters (32:27)

I mean, listen, you do it once in a while, Kennedy. I'm sure it's not going to kill you. But every day, more than booze, I.

Greg Gutfeld (32:35)

Mean, it's hard to do anything every day. It can be like eating a pot roast every single day.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (32:41)

Like a slice of never had.

Kennedy (32:43)

My mom's pot roast might be delicious.

Greg Gutfeld (32:45)

So here's the problem with weed. They didn't study it well enough. It was illegal for too long. And then when they opened the floodgates of legalization, it was like a bunch of 16 year olds were running policy and it all became incredibly irresponsible. So because it hadn't been studied, because you didn't know the effects on people's brains and you didn't have those data points once the market was flooded and Pandora's box was open and these horrible laws were written across the country that really didn't do anything about the black market. It means that, you know, it was ripe for people to go and abuse it because it's no longer illegal. But you didn't have safeguards in place. So you didn't have enough data to tell you when someone was impaired, when they were operating a vehicle, when someone should be sent to rehab. And instead of this either or just mass prohibition or an orgy of weed, they could never find the proper moderation. And yes, I agree with you. I think people should have the right to put whatever they want in their bodies. But when infringes on other people's liberty, that's where I have an issue with it. And I also don't like the way it smells. And I am allergic.

Jesse Waters (33:59)

You're allergic? Okay, Dana, it smells terrible.

Dana Perino (34:01)

And also it's supposed to be. Remember all the studies that would be like, oh my gosh, this is so great. It'll cures Alzheimer's, It'll cure this. It'll make everybody feel good. And then you read all the research, it says, actually none of that could actually be repeated in any other study. And then I saw a guy today, he's just walking through the subway platform smoking marijuana, and it smells terrible. I come up out of the subway, there's another guy, there's another. And I'm like, gosh, why is it so hard for young women to find people to marry? All these guys just smoking pot all day long. And in 2011, this is actually the first issue I ever gave my personal opinion on. And it was at Greg's urging because I was like, oh, well, this was the Bush administration policy. And he said, no, what do you really think about it? And I was like, I hate it. And it was a very unpopular opinion at the time. And now I'm in agreement with the New York Times.

Jesse Waters (34:45)

Wow, Greg, are you in agreement?

Dana Perino (34:47)

Yeah.

Paul Morrow (34:48)

No.

Kennedy (34:48)

This is where like you can. Where having a strong correct belief still results in a bad outcome. Say you're for decriminalization and you can defend it. You can defend it on libertarian or even conservative free market principles. It doesn't negate the reality that we are seeing increased psychosis on the street. So I have to eat that point. As somebody that was for decriminalization, the wild wild west of THC potency is adding a whole fresh layer to the psychosis that's on the street. Just some of the studies that show heavy use of THC could raised 2.4 times the risk for schizophrenia, 3.9 times the risk with heavy use, 5 times the risk with daily use, 5 times psychotic episodes with daily use, and nearly 7 times increases your risk for a first episode psychosis if you're regularly using the high potency thc. Having said that, there is a well established link between psychosis and alcoholism, and yet that's not going anywhere. So in a tribute to our Bible study, Jesse, I thought I would say this, that when you're doing like, I think the mistake here is, is doing drugs and booze when you're really young, you should wait till you're like, 70 deciding to do, decided to do the smoke pot or drink.

Paul Morrow (36:15)

It's.

Kennedy (36:16)

It's basically the bite of the apple. It's the bite of the apple. It's the original sin. Because addiction takes you away from life, it takes you away from God, it takes you away from any kind of connection. People don't like to believe that, but it is true. So if you wake up and you look at life and you go, this is not enough. That's the bite of the apple. You know, when you turn to that, it totally undermines everything that's been given you. It shows a complete lack of gratitude for being on this planet. And I think if people look at it that way, like every time you get high, ask yourself why you're doing it.

Paul Morrow (36:51)

It's to.

Kennedy (36:52)

It's because this isn't enough.

Jesse Waters (36:54)

Wow, you were really evolved, Greg.

Kennedy (36:56)

Thank you for the. It's from the Bible study.

Jesse Waters (36:57)

J. I missed. I missed that day. Coming up next.

Kennedy (37:03)

It'S the bite of the apple.

Jesse Waters (37:05)

Jen Z would rather ride than drive.

Kennedy (37:08)

I skipped. My day kicks off with a refreshing Celsius energy drink. Then straight to the gym, pre K.

Paul Morrow (37:23)

Pickup back home to meal prep. Time for my fire station shift. One more Celsius. Gotta keep the lights on when the three alarm hits.

Kennedy (37:30)

I'm ready.

Paul Morrow (37:31)

Celsius Live fit.

Kennedy (37:33)

Go grab a cold refreshing Celsius at.

Paul Morrow (37:36)

Greg Gutfeld (37:49)

Yeah, sorry, I was just finishing the line.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (37:51)

Welcome back.

Greg Gutfeld (37:52)

Gen Z is putting off getting their driver's licenses at 16 because it's too expensive. Driving is scary and stressful. Plus they could just order an Uber which is absolutely what happens with city kids. So Jesse, how do you explain this? Because listen, it's not just driving. They're also drinking less, they're not having sex, they're really no fun. Is it because cars are no longer shagging wagons?

Jesse Waters (38:19)

Shaggin wagons, Yeah. I mean it's a city thing, right? Because before you'd take a taxi or an Uber or ride the subway. But if you're in the burbs, you need wheels, you need a shaggin wagon.

Kayleigh McEnany (38:31)

But this is true.

Jesse Waters (38:32)

To get out of your parents clutches and just ride around. And that's what it's like to be an American. If you don't have a license by 16, you're basically deportable.

Dana Perino (38:41)

But this is not just in the cities. It's across the board. It's generational and I think partly it's the parents because they're scared and they're so protective of their kids and also about music. Remember, one of the reasons I love to get in my car is I could listen to anything I wanted to. I could turn it up as loud as I wanted. The books on tape were. Well, it was books on cd. No, I love drive, but I had to drive, right. Because we lived in a rural area. But now also people I wanted to go visit my friends. But now they can visit their friends on here. So you can play video games on your phone. Like all of it is changing and it's ruining America. Kennedy, do you hope that your children don't drive?

Greg Gutfeld (39:20)

I know they're young.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (39:20)

Yes. No. First of all, it freaks me out. The thought of them driving also freaks me out, the thought of them Ubering. So catch 22, I would just say when I was young, I loved driving at 16, 15, actually, in Florida. Learner's permit with Neo. Yeah. I thought I was a gangster with my windows down. And then I found country.

Kennedy (39:36)

Greg, two quick points. Self driving cars will make this whole argument mute or moot. Whatever. But the other thing too is, have you noticed there is a gap in cool used cars? When I was in high school, you had Chevelles, Mustangs, Camaros. Thanks to cash for clunkers, they removed the awesome used car from our collective experience.

Jesse Waters (39:54)

Thanks, Obama.

Greg Gutfeld (39:55)

Yeah, you wrecked everything.

Kennedy (39:56)

That's your real name.

Greg Gutfeld (39:58)

One more Thing is up next. Stay with us.

Paul Morrow (40:00)

Yes.

Greg Gutfeld (40:02)

There'S a but.

Kennedy (40:05)

Don't be alone there.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (40:15)

It's time now for one more thing. Greg.

Kennedy (40:17)

Tonight our show airs. Kennedy, Jim Florentine, Aaron McGuire. Tyrus. Let's do this, Greg. Sexy moon. All right. You can't spell emu without you. Roll it. You can't spell it without you or me. Nice, Dana. Look at them wallowing in the mud. They like to get down and dirty, especially during hot weather. And it is hot where they are. They're at the Oakland Zoo where it gets super hot. They get muddy and dirty. Dirty and hot. That's tonight on Hannity.

Dana Perino (40:54)

That's hot.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (40:55)

Dana.

Dana Perino (40:56)

All right, Greg, don't get mad that I'm making some new and tell you a news story, okay? This fell off the front page, you guys. President Trump is taking away the endangerment finding for climate change. This is a gigantic deal. He deserves credit for it. It is bold to do. Obama put it in and it created all sorts of havoc all around the government and now he is actually physically pulling it back at the epa.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (41:18)

That is a big deal.

Jesse Waters (41:18)

Jesse, Jessie, where's prime time? Tonight, new clues in the search For Nancy Guthrie, 8pm can't wait to see that.

Dana Perino (41:26)

All right.

Host (possibly Greg Gutfeld) (41:27)

Well, check out Fox Nation, the White House special. Brand new series. First two episodes are available now. There are new episodes every Friday. Check it out.

Greg Gutfeld (41:34)

Well, look at this. It is a unicyclist who's juggling flaming juggling knobs. It looks like Johnny on the street. Even better. He didn't get arrested, but he was trying to unicycle.
