I'm Greg Gutfeld, along with Kennedy, Harold Ford Jr. Jesse Waters and she once sublet a tree with a Keebler elf. Dana Perino the five the Democrat Made Shutdown mess is finally, almost over. Finally, almost. Who wrote that? Anyway, in just about two hours, the House is set for a final vote on reopening the government and ending this 43 day fiasco. Carolyn Levitt's breaking down all the damage done.
- [01:08]
C
Hundreds of thousands of federal employees have missed their paychecks. Tens of billions in wages and benefits.
- [01:14]
D
Were withheld, impacting vulnerable families.
- [01:17]
C
Millions of low income Americans missed their snap benefits. According to Airlines for America, an estimated 5.2 million travelers have had their flights disrupted over the course of the Democrat shutdown.
- [01:30]
D
It's hard to recap all of this.
- [01:31]
C
Without asking a simple question, why? And the answer to that question is pure partisan politics.
- [01:38]
B
After getting zip on Obamacare subsidies, Dems are shifting blame, revealing all the pain was for their gain. Tim Kaine has said publicly that there were another five or six that were waiting in the wings and that were encouraging them. And if one of them had not voted, you know, somebody else might have.
- [01:55]
E
Stepped in, actually lose leverage in our fight for Americans. Now that we have capitulated Donald Trump.
- [02:02]
B
It undermines the narrative that this was a Trump shutdown.
- [02:06]
F
If eight Republicans, eight Democratic senators could.
- [02:09]
B
Have ended it and if you're going to see grandma this Thanksgiving, it could still get screwed up. Sean Duffy is warning the flight mayor will still continue while taking a shot at Mayor Pete. There were 85 near misses, Sean, in the Potomac before the DCA air crash. Pete did nothing. He spent $80 billion on DEI and on climate change. He lowered the standards for training at the faa. He focused on pronouns at the faa, changing those things, but never worked to fix the air traffic control system. Didn't work on bringing more air traffic controllers into the system. And so what he's trying to do is rewrite his record because he wants to run for president once again. Sean in the real world, Dana, we were saying this that the Dems were leveraging pain and suffering of the public for political gain. And now they're not even hiding it.
- [03:02]
D
They actually, they said that in their own words. You can listen to all. You can go back and listen to all of them. In fact, when military families were having to go to the food banks and weren't getting paid, they were like, well, it's the only leverage we have. And they continued, and then they caved. They don't get anything for it. And now it's kind of interesting to watch them turn themselves into pretzels to try to say that they won the shutdown.
- [03:21]
B
Yeah.
- [03:22]
D
As if there are some participation trophy or moral victory that they got. One of the things about the air traffic controllers that's of great concern that won't stop after the shutdown is Sean Duffy said that before the shutdown, we were averaging about three to four retirements per week from people like aging out or deciding something else because they're leaving the system. Sean Duffy, from the jump, has been trying to speed up how many people can get approved and accredited to be an air traffic controller. It's a complicated job, and of course, we want them to be at the top of their game. So it takes a while. What he said Yesterday was that 15 to 20 retirements per day happen during the shutdown. We don't have that kind of air traffic controllers to spare. And we had a guy on Newsroom today who said that he's been looking at traveling around the world. He said that our air traffic control system in our airports is just abysmal and just so second rate compared to the rest of the world. So this shutdown cost us money in the short term. It costs a lot of pain for the families like the air traffic controllers who couldn't get paid, the military members who had to figure out a way to ask family to help them or to go to a food bank. And now you have wine moms complaining that the shutdown is ending because the Democrats caved. As if it would be better that. That military members don't get paid because.
- [04:41]
B
The wine moms don't feel the consequences. Just like the politicians. They're drunk. You know, Harold, this raises a point. Good to see you, by the way.
- [04:49]
E
Great to be with you as always.
- [04:50]
B
Yeah. I did a search because I do research before the show. And like many people, I couldn't find a single shutdown before 1980. And I thought to myself, why did it happen? Then I did some more research. It happened during the Carter era when his attorney general had re reinterpreted an 1884 Anti Deficienc act, which forces agencies to halt operation without funding, that then suddenly shutdowns became routine. Harold, why? It's baffling. Why can't we just go back before 1980 to where? To the way it was?
- [05:25]
E
You raise a great point.
- [05:26]
B
Thank you.
- [05:28]
E
For the last 48 years, Congress has only passed the required number of budgets, meaning the appropriations bills, the spending bills that they are required, the only job they have, or to pass the 13 spending bills each year for the last 48 years. You know how many times they've done it on time, which is before September 30th because the fiscal year begins October 1st. Four times. I happen to be in Congress one of those times. This is a failure of a system. I appreciate Secretary Duffy and I think he's right, but this challenge with our air traffic system and the fact that we're not educating enough air traffic controllers or incentivizing this the right way has been a long standing problem. Now, this shutdown obviously didn't help any of that, but just step back one moment. I differ with those, as I shared yesterday, that Democrats who are saying we didn't Democrats didn't get anything for the shutdown. Even some of the narrative that's come out of friends here on the network. At the end of the day, there was no vote on ACA ever scheduled. There's now going to be a vote on whether we're going to extend the subsidies in mid December. Number two, President Trump throughout the shutdown, maybe he was joking, but he hinted that some workers, government workers, would get back pay, the ones that he liked and the programs that were not Democrat. He would often, maybe jokingly say we got that guarantee. Three, during the shutdown, Mr. Voight, the OMB director and president Trump and those at the White House laid off many federal workers. There were court challenges to it as a part of this deal. Tim Kaine secured that no more firings between now and the end of this CR. Now this CR, as you well know, only goes to January 21st.
- [06:57]
B
So they still, I did not know that.
- [06:59]
E
They still have a fight. They still have a fight on their hand. And at the end of the day, those who vote against the ACA subsidy extension, they have every right to. And we talk a lot about members of Congress, members of Congress when I was we have the best health care in the country, if not the world. I want to see members of Congress, Democrat and Republican alike, say that they don't want to give health insurance to those who are the least and the last hard working Americans we can kick off all the illegals you want. The vast majority of people on the ACA are Americans, born in America. Congress, they get the best. They were paid during this shutdown.
- [07:32]
B
They.
- [07:32]
E
And for Democrats to say they should not have ended, it's easy for them to say because they were all getting paid.
- [07:37]
B
Yes, I agree with you completely. But Kennedy, my question is this is just going to happen again. It's like all this other intricacy stuff. I wasn't even listening, but I'm not.
- [07:50]
E
Again, these facts.
- [07:51]
B
No, what I'm talking about is like, it's going to just happen again and again. Why can't we go back to before 1980 when this didn't happen, when what does it say about the current state of our government, our political system, that we're just saying, okay, we're just going to live with this thing and every, every like so many months, we're going.
- [08:09]
C
To have a government shutdown because there are no consequences?
- [08:12]
B
Yeah.
- [08:12]
C
And, you know, we would have to go back to the Reagan era. Obviously, it just shows what a wonderful President Ronald Reagan was. But also he was the one who stood up and said, fine, you're going to go on strike. I'm going to go ahead and fire all of you. I wish, you know, and I think a lot of people in the country feel this way, I wish we could fire just about everybody in Congress because it's an abdication of their responsibility. So they need to balance budgets, they need to bring programs back into alignment with reality and costs. And the aca, this is not a benevolent program. This is something that was destined to fail because it was set up to be really, really expensive down the road when Obama wouldn't be in office anymore. And it's not a win that we're going to extend these subsidies. I mean, think about it in terms of other things that we had during COVID We had mask mandates, we had schools and businesses shut down, we had churches shut down. Should we shut those things down again just because that's what we did during COVID No. That showed that we had a bad response and it created broken systems. The ACA was broken to begin with. And the fact that it created had to be propped up during COVID And the fact that you have to use the same scaffolding in order to keep people insured just goes to show it was God awful in the first place. So instead of hearing Democrats whining that, you know, eight of their members caved, why not have those people who are frustrated sit down and think of Something better than a single payer system, which, I'm sorry, Bernie Sanders, that, that's not going to work in the United States of America. And, you know, it's like the costs are not worth the risk of having this happen again in January. And, you know, so you would, you.
- [09:58]
E
Would not have voted for the, for the, this thing that's passing Congress right now.
- [10:01]
C
I mean, as a libertarian, I wouldn't have voted.
- [10:04]
E
I just want to make sure I got it. Got it.
- [10:05]
C
Like I am actually, like, secretly. Harold, don't tell anyone this, especially on camera, but I am on Rand Paul and Thomas Massie's side for a number of reasons, but philosophically, that we need to make government smaller and, and, you know, less likely to tank everyone's future if one party takes one issue and shuts the whole thing down and holds the country hostage.
- [10:27]
B
All right, I saved the mediocrity for last. Jesse, I would like to hear your thoughts on this matter as it relates to feet.
- [10:40]
F
I do have a solution for the plane stuff. Take the train.
- [10:44]
B
Ah.
- [10:45]
F
So last week my flight was delayed three hours and then another hour because of a bomb threat. I almost missed the five. I went down to D.C. on Monday. Two hour delay. So what we did, we took the train. Amtrak. Jesse loved it.
- [11:00]
B
Yeah.
- [11:00]
F
When you fly, Greg, you have to get there an hour beforehand.
- [11:03]
B
That is true.
- [11:03]
F
And they always tell you, please put your seat in the upright position. I don't ever touch my seat. I'm not the kind of guy that leans back and messes with the person behind me. I'm never pushing that little button.
- [11:15]
C
I.
- [11:15]
F
But every time they tell me that, I go boop and I go up a little bit.
- [11:19]
B
Yes.
- [11:19]
F
I didn't do that. Okay.
- [11:21]
B
Yes.
- [11:21]
F
They're always telling me because I get the first seat.
- [11:24]
B
Yes.
- [11:24]
F
Humble brag. They're telling me I have to put my tote bag.
- [11:29]
B
Yes.
- [11:29]
F
Not effeminate. My tote bag. L.L. bean. Above me on the compartment. Above me. All right.
- [11:37]
D
Yeah, it's fine.
- [11:38]
F
I can leave it at my feet.
- [11:40]
D
Just do that.
- [11:41]
C
Get the second seat and it's not a problem.
- [11:42]
F
Okay. Johnny books my travel. I don't have time for that kind of stuff. Johnny, if you're listening, book the right seat. Also, the woman serving us food, it's like she's an acrobat trying to balance this thing with the coffee. Pushing it over my seatmate's lap. Everyone's going to spill.
- [11:59]
B
Yes.
- [11:59]
F
Then you go to the bathroom and it's like being in a middle school locker. You can't Move. You're like this. You always come out there with a problem. I took the train. You get on the train, you take off immediately.
- [12:10]
D
Joe Biden.
- [12:10]
F
The bathroom's very spacious, that bathroom.
- [12:13]
E
That thing shakes.
- [12:14]
B
You got to be careful in there.
- [12:16]
F
That's why you have the handicap thing there to hold on to.
- [12:20]
E
Yeah.
- [12:21]
F
All right. And the WI fi always works on the train. Always works. And then you get to.
- [12:26]
D
You've been on this train a couple times.
- [12:28]
E
But if you have to go to Los Angeles from New York.
- [12:30]
B
Okay.
- [12:30]
F
If you live in the Northeast, this is the solution.
- [12:34]
B
Thank you.
- [12:35]
F
I did that without saying aca.
- [12:37]
B
I know. I love what you did there because this topic is just.
- [12:41]
F
It's almost finally over.
- [12:43]
B
Yes, almost finally. That was great. Okay. Up next, Greasy Gavin goes global to play president. My little baby brother used to play.
- [12:55]
E
Down on the floor but now he's not satisfied to do it anymore.
- [12:59]
B
He's got a funny habit and I.
- [13:01]
F
Don'T know why he walks around the ceiling Now I stepping on the flies baby brother.
- [13:08]
E
Baby.
- [13:09]
B

- [13:11]

- [14:07]
D
So guess who's playing president? That would be Gavin Newsom. And he's not in California right now. He's down in Brazil and he's repping America at the UN Climate talks conference underway in Belem. Politico calling him, quote, the climate president in waiting. The world wants an American climate leader and Gavin Newsom is happy to play the part, even if the country he represents isn't quite ready to follow. And the governor is more than happy to play into that narrative.
- [14:33]
E
It's an ideological war at the federal level and it's captured interest, period.
- [14:40]
B
Full stop.
- [14:41]
E
Follow the money. It's captured interest and we're as dumb as we want to be. We are doubling down on stupid in the United States of America and not in my state of California. Right now, we have an invasive species in the vernacular of climate, by the name of Donald Trump. It's not about the rule of law, it's increasingly about the rule of dawn. And I hope it's dawning on many of you how real that is.
- [15:11]
D
Is it dawning on you, Greg?
- [15:13]
B
It's dawning.
- [15:14]
D
Full stop.
- [15:15]
B
Yeah, full stop.
- [15:16]
D
Are you, Are you soft? I'm ready to talk.
- [15:19]
E
Okay.
- [15:20]
B
There was something up there that you were supposed to.
- [15:23]
D
I mean, I'm ready to get going.
- [15:25]
B
All right, all right, all right.
- [15:26]
D
You know, two days ago, Sorry, script.
- [15:31]
B
Okay, here's what I'm curious. So they got this big climate thing.
- [15:33]
D
Here's the thing. But he said full stop. It just reminded me on Monday, he said full stop. So he says full stop all the time. And we made fun of him for a whole show.
- [15:40]
B
No, it's true. It's true. Full stop is basically telling people, I have no examples to back up what I'm saying. And when I say full stop, you're supposed to just let me go. Which makes him really, full stop, an idiot. I am curious, though, about how do you do a climate conference now when the climate agenda has been fully discredited? And it's discredited by a number of things. One of them is we have an incredibly more educated, skeptical public, especially since COVID People read stuff now they don't take. Like, think about everything that the media has been discredited on, whether it was the Biden's presidency, collusion, Covid, crime, illegal immigration. Do you think that they were all lying there, but they're telling the truth on climate. No, no, no. It's all the same everywhere. So how are to do this? How are they going to. They told us the world was going to end and it didn't. We laugh now at their hysteria, persuasion. It doesn't work. And the climate computer models have been shown to be corrupt. They're wrong on predicting everything from the temperature increases to the snow or ice melting. And then what they did is they adjusted the predictions to kind of follow their changing narratives. So it's like taking a math test and changing the questions so your answers, your wrong answers now appear right. How? I don't know how they're going to convince anybody after taking a trillion dollars from taxpayers. Money that could have gone to start, you know, starving people, build housing, Jesse's hair, you name it. Instead it went down this giant thing and it went to, you know, People you don't even know, activists, lobbying groups, people who do own yachts, because that's where the money went. It didn't go to, like, save the Earth. It went to save somebody's, like, mansion.
- [17:39]
D
Well, and also when he says full stop, it reminds me, Kennedy, of how the climate lobby for so long said the science is settled, which meant that you are not able, you are not allowed to say anything. Full stop. But did they miss the Bill Gates memo from just two weeks ago in the New York Times in which he said, this is not the emergency we thought it was?
- [17:57]
C
They did not miss it. He is their sugar daddy. He is their sponsor. He was bamboozled into carrying their water and gilded buckets for years and years. Unfortunately for them, Bill Gates does read, and Bill Gates does understand what the point of science is. Science is never settled. The point of science is to constantly be questioning the data and to question itself and question the conclusions. That is the point of the scientific method. And so now you've got a multi billionaire who has spent his life trying to better and empower people, especially in sub Saharan Africa. And he realizes, well, if we're just focusing on carbon emissions, we are missing the fact that people are still living in poverty and we are not using innovation and technology to speed up their advancement into third world countries. So you're allowing people to malinger in poverty because you want a virtue signal, because it makes you feel better. And, you know, for Gavin Newsom, he uses climate to not do anything in his state. He doesn't update the power lines. He doesn't clear the dried brush in wildfire areas. And then you have calamities like the Pacific Palisades fire. He doesn't do any of that stuff because he says it's all the fault of climate change. And all he's doing here is, is operating in contrast, because he knows the President isn't going to go there. He knows it's not part of the Trump agenda. He also knows that there are no other 2028 figures who are in Brazil right now. So he's a narcissist. He wants to be fawned over and followed by the press. And he also wants to show that he's doing something that Kamala is not doing. And so in addition to constantly making Trump the villain for the next three and a half years, he has to push Kamala out of the way. And he's using these pretty little pulpits like a climate conference to do just that.
- [19:50]
D
And, Jesse, one of the reasons people are leaving California are the Energy policies and the prices. One of the biggest drivers is that next year they are looking at $8.50 a gallon because of his policies. And that's why people also want to leave.
- [20:04]
E
Yeah.
- [20:04]
F
The only way you survive in California is if you're very wealthy or you're homeless. Everybody in the middle gets squeezed out. And the fires were caused by a 29 year old Biden donor. He started the fire.
- [20:16]
B
Wasn't climate change.
- [20:17]
C
Climate change?
- [20:18]
D
He's a climate activist.
- [20:19]
F
Yeah. This guy is like skinny Al Gore, all right? He flies down to Brazil, crowns himself the Green Prince. This thing's over. The climate scam. It's like dei. It's done. All right? We tried it. It didn't work. It caused inflation. Everyone's utility bills went up. The temperature of the world didn't go down. And then China gets paid, the donors get paid, but everybody else didn't. It makes the rich richer and it keeps the lower and middle class people from rising to the top. And that's how they want it to be. Now, Gavin's smart. You're right, because he is elbowing Kamala out. She's on her 107 day how to lose an Election tour, talking about herself. While Gavin at least looks like he cares, but no one else really does. This is 2% of the American public think climate's the top priority. He's kind of out of touch with it, but at least he's doing something. And he has been active. He dropped that stupid podcast. He's suing Trump. He's redistricting. He's doing stuff. At least he's doing it. Kamala's just sitting on her keister talking about herself.
- [21:21]
D
Harold. At this event, the Colombian president, Gustavo Petra, said Mr. Trump is against humankind. The Chilean president said that Trump's view that human caused climate change is a con job, calling it a lie. And you would imagine that as the UN Representative, he is there representing the United States. Do you think he defended the president on that?
- [21:42]
E
I feel very strongly about any leaders going outside of the country and having foreign leaders say terrible things about our president. They should say, you shouldn't say that. I disagree with him on issues. So I've said when President Trump has done that and allowed Putin to say bad things about Biden, I've said against Gavin Newsom, you shouldn't do that. Although he's not the president, you still shouldn't allow people to talk about your president. He's got a little wind in his back. Newsom does. He had a good week last week. So he's doubling down a little bit. I get it. If he does run for president, he'll have a lot of things to answer for around his policies, around some of the positions that he's taken in California. He's a good looking guy, he's well spoken, and he's willing to take it to President Trump, probably unlike some other Democrats. But if I were him, I'd spend my time a little differently. I would really be talking about the things that I think animated this election over the last week and a half, which is prices of things, which is affordability. Prices are up, wages are stagnant. Energy bills and insurance bills, especially for the American people, are high. We see an AI, massive investments in AI, which are going to create a lot of opportunity and a lot of innovation, but it's displacing a lot of workers and it's consuming a lot of energy. California has been a great leader throughout my time in politics and for that matter throughout it, throughout its time as an American state of being one of the leaders in helping us to think about the future. That's what I would be doing more if I was him, as opposed to perhaps being at this climate conference and even adding on to. I just don't think you criticize the President of the United States. When you leave the country, you come back here and say what you want. And I don't think an American leader should ever allow a foreign leader to come in and criticize a former president as well. Which is why I was critical of President Trump for letting that thug Putin say what he said about Biden.
- [23:16]
D
All right, I guess I'll read this one, guys. Okay. Coming up, a CNN host talks about conspiracy theories with Joy Reid, of all.
- [23:24]

F
And here's why people don't Trust the media. CNN's primetime host Abby Phillip strutting around like she's some kind of brave truth teller schooling those conspiracy believing conservatives. And she actually said it with a straight face to Joy Reid of all people.
- [25:00]
A
Conservatives are living in a completely different information world than liberals. And breaking that down needs to be done. Because when you don't ever even hear the facts, it's hard to even know that you're wrong. And that happens a lot. I mean, half my job sometimes is knowing what the latest conspiracy is so that if it comes up, I'm ready to address it. Because it happens a lot where people don't even know that what they're saying or what they've seen and believe is not true.
- [25:38]
F
Greg, as someone who's living in a bubble, what's it like in there?
- [25:42]
B
It's very nice. You know the boy in the plastic bubble that was based on my life. John Travolta played me and he made for TV movie. Where am I going with this? I'm not sure I will say that. Abby Phillips talking to Joy Reid about truth is like talking to Brian Stelter about salad. It doesn't match. I think I gotta give her credit for like talking about bubbles and truth bubbles. She works at probably the tightest bubble there is, cnn. And it became wholly discredited because of it. They were like, I mean, I don't know how long she's been there because I don't pay attention to other people's careers, frankly. Did she study this sort of thing as they were happening? Like, did she voice these concerns during the Fine People hoax when CNN was covering that? Or they're drinking bleach or the koi pond or collusion or a laptop or Biden is charged. Was she ever addressing that during that time? I think it's a bigger question than who's right or who's wrong. It's that the mainstream media, there is no right or wrong. There's just narratives and they assign opinions to their anchors who then believe their facts. And we are too smart for that. No one can do that. No one has ever told me what to think.
- [27:02]
F
We've tried. Yes, because what you think is disgusting.
- [27:06]
B
That Is true.
- [27:07]
F
Whenever I watch her show. Abby. Phillip. Am I saying that?
- [27:10]
C
Philip?
- [27:11]
F
Okay, there's no s. Are you sure?
- [27:12]
D
Correct.
- [27:13]
F
It's Scott Jennings schooling all the libs on what's real. And Abby just sits there with her mouth shut.
- [27:19]
D
He's like Jim Halpert from the office. He just like stares into the camera when all the liberals are saying something insane.
- [27:24]
F
Right?
- [27:24]
D
And he's just like basically you don't even. He doesn't even really have to say anything cuz he's got great facial expressions. There's not a lot of conspiracy theories that are coming out of her show. Okay. So I actually. I'm gonna take a different tact on this a little bit. I have a friend whose family is quite diverse in their political opinions, but they also don't have time to be informed a lot. Okay. So they're busy. They got a lot of things going on. So they have just like surface like reading the headlines and they asked him if he would mind doing like a family zoom and they could ask him anything about what was going on in the news. And it was very instructive about where people are getting the news or how little news people are getting. And also because people are really super busy. So to have an omnivorous media diet takes an effort. And democracy is a participatory sport. So you have to figure out how to do that. I would love to swim in the media. That I agree with and that I think about all the time. But I make myself eat my vegetables.
- [28:18]
B
You don't have. You don't have to make yourself. We're forced to because we are in an industry that is overwhelmingly liberal. That's why we know more about this stuff.
- [28:27]
F
That's right. We have to know both sides. There are fine people on both sides. I've always said that.
- [28:31]
B
Yes, you have.
- [28:35]
C
Someone borrowed that from you, Jesse.
- [28:37]
F
A long time ago.
- [28:38]
D
Yeah.
- [28:39]
F
I told my twins the other day about how the Democrats were stealing billions of dollars from the government and they couldn't believe it. I explained that USAID was basically a money laundering operation. If you spend a billion dollars to help poor kids in Africa, they steal 90 cents on the dollar through a nonprofit. And they couldn't believe it. It was like the first time they'd.
- [29:01]
B
Heard that you're twins.
- [29:03]
F
They're 14.
- [29:04]
B
Yeah.
- [29:04]
F
Now they're based.
- [29:07]
C
I'm so glad you red pilled your children.
- [29:09]
B
I did.
- [29:10]
C
And thank you in advance because they are the generation who is going to push us off the cliff in our wheelchairs.
- [29:15]
F
So here comes the pillow dad. Yeah, can't afford anything.
- [29:20]
C
I was happy to see Abby talking with Joy, and I was delighted that Joy had painted her tinfoil hat white. I thought it was very attractive. Joy Reid, actually. So you said that CNN was the tightest bubble MSNBC was. And Joy Reid was so far left and so bat poop crazy, they poked a hole in the bubble and ejected her because she was nuts. And so they are always operating under the assumption that if you repeat the same thing over and over and over again, it becomes your reality. And there's a big difference between the power of suggestion and actual, objective facts. And Abby Phillip is unfortunately conflating and confusing the two. So CNN and msnbc, they engaged in that same exercise over and over again. Just saying, like, Trump will never get elected. Trump is horrible. Trump is awful. Because if Abby Phillip were doing what she claimed to be doing now, she would have seen that half of the country was so disillusioned and so uncomfortable and crestfallen under Biden that they had no choice than to vote for Trump. And maybe if she had been a little bit more honest with her audience, then she could have made a better case, because that's what people need to be doing when they are reading what they consider to be the opposition. You are building an argument for what you believe instead of through confirmation bias, then by actually challenging yourself and putting facts in your head, or at least opinions in front of you that you might agree with. And when you're able to dismantle them, that makes your argument stronger. That is not what she's doing. Sitting and talking to Scott Jennings and getting schooled is not the same thing as engaging with or understanding the other half of the country that she clearly despises.
- [31:04]
E
I differ. I think what Abby Phillip did there was brilliant. She said conservatives and liberals live in an ecosystem that basically reaffirms whether what they think, what they're learning is right or what they're learning is wrong. I've said all along, you can disagree with someone and not hate them. You can disagree with someone, and when you do disagree, you should learn. You should learn more about your position and the position of the person you're arguing with. She's smart, she's thoughtful, and I applaud her for how she handled that interview.
- [31:30]
B
How was that? Brilliant, though we've been saying this for I don't know how long.
- [31:34]
E
Brilliant, too, Greg. Others can be brilliant.
- [31:35]
B
That's what I wanted to hear.
- [31:36]
E
Harold, you're the leader of the brilliant crew here.
- [31:39]
F
Thank you.
- [31:39]
E
No more. All right.
- [31:41]
F
And Abby Seems like a nice person. Like, if I ever was seated next to her on a plane, I'm sure we'd get along.
- [31:45]
B
No, she hates you. She told me.
- [31:47]
F
No, that's Joy. Joy. Joy hates me.
- [31:48]
B
No, I know the difference.
- [31:50]
E
Joy said, nick, each other on a plane.
- [31:51]
F
You would get along on a train. On a train no longer be taking place. Ahead, Don the decorator gives a tour of the White House.
- [32:11]
E
Never before has it been.
- [32:14]
A

- [32:48]
C
Don't take my ballroom. President Trump not only driving Libs straight up the wall, he's decorating them, too. He gave Laura Ingram a tour of his latest White House renovations.
- [32:59]
B
Watch. So this is the Presidential walk of fame. Now, whose idea was this?
- [33:03]
E
My idea.
- [33:06]
F
Everything's my idea.
- [33:07]
B
Everything's your idea. So you take a vent that's supposed to be a piece of aluminum, steel.
- [33:12]
E
And the marble man said.
- [33:13]
B
I said, do you think he could bookmark event? He said, yeah, look at the other one over there.
- [33:17]
E
Book match.
- [33:18]
B
But look at the quality of that job.
- [33:20]
E
I built many ballrooms and many buildings, and that's my greatest strength, actually.
- [33:26]
B
Might as well do this. So this room was in terrible shape. The walls weren't good.
- [33:31]
E
We took it, I restored it.
- [33:33]
B
I put in new chandeliers.
- [33:35]
C
They had lanterns that were terrible, disgusting, mosquito filled lanterns. Dana, you have spent more time in the White House than anyone. And you said you have a plan for him. What is that plan?
- [33:46]
D
Well, my plan for him is that he run for mayor of New York in 2029. So maybe and bring some of this building capacity to New York. I mean, you know, Penn Station could really use it. I mean, lots of places could. So it's going to need a project. I think that New York City could use it.
- [34:07]
C
Well, I think we could use them just about everywhere considering the. The beauty of that lattice marble structure. So, Jesse, why does the White House need a ballroom?
- [34:19]
F
To accommodate state dinners and to accommodate your friends. Think about it. If you could only accommodate about 137 people at a dinner inside, that means we're not invited. But when you expand the ballroom to accommodate 1900 people, people like us on the periphery might get invited to State dinners. It's a natural thing. Everybody's always wanted it. Even the chief usher, longest serving of all time, has said, of course, every president considers this their house. And every president has complained they don't have a ballroom, so that's not even an issue. I just love how he doesn't give an F. This guy has been dodging assassinations, impeachments, felonies. And if he wants to talk about. Look at the gold, Laura. Look at the book. Matched fence, Laura. This is beautiful. I would love him to build some homes here around the city, maybe build some more power plants. We're going to get there and as soon as we get there, that will officially be the golden age.
- [35:16]
C
Well, we're going to need a lot more than power plants in order to save the world, Harold. But if you ask Democrats, the world is falling apart because of this ballroom. Eric Swalwell wants anyone running for president to sign a pledge that they will bulldoze it. Michelle Obama is personally aggrieved by it. But isn't it hypocritical? Because I have a feeling if Democrats had the same opportunity and someone was going to write a check for $250 million and put together a new Democrat ballroom, they would be all for it.
- [35:48]
E
I don't know. I think it was a nice touch that the president did this with Laura, but I have to tell you, I'm not. You think about the age that first you bought your first home before. The last 10 years before was somewhere between 28 and 32. That number is now up to 40 to 44. You think about young men and women who are working across the country who have jobs in big cities and medium sized cities. They're still calling the bank of mom and dad to be helpful because they're struggling to make ends meet. I don't mind the ballroom, but I heard interesting perspective when I was traveling in one of the airports and someone, as they always do, recognize me from being on the five and said something nice. I sat, I stood there and something came on the television about the ballroom and comments were made. And most of the people I think were Fox fans and I think some might have even been Republicans saying, how is it that we have money to do this but we don't have money to do other things. I do think at some point the president will have to answer some of those questions. And although the money came from private sources, I just think it's a hard thing to do. It's a beautiful and probably expensive project and Jesse's probably right it does probably mean at least you will be on the list.
- [36:49]
D
I would have had us at the kids table at the Queen's dinner. Sat downstairs in the map room.
- [36:54]
F
Oh, the indignity.
- [36:55]
D
Embarrassing.
- [36:55]
C
Now, speaking of the kids table, we had fun. Greg, watching that footage with Greg.
- [36:59]
B
I got that bust.
- [37:00]
C
Thank you.
- [37:02]
B
And also that eight finger Abe Lincoln.
- [37:05]
C
So seeing the contrast between Laura Ingraham and the President in terms of height differential, Is he really 6 foot 20?
- [37:11]
B
Yes. You know what, the thing is, when I see this, I go, you know what? He should be king. What's great about Trump? No one in government has ever played this role before. There's a conflict between the decision makers, the elites and the public who don't make the decisions. But they bear the brunt of the decision makers who never have to face the consequence of their decisions. The public didn't create Covid, they didn't invent cashless bail. They didn't foist upon us an asylum system that could be so easily game. They didn't open our borders and give away free stuff at the same time. We have a side, the decision makers who treat the rest of us like a lab experiment. None of these things work in real life. They might work in theory, but we're the rats. So Trump is kind of like, like imagine if Trump wasn't around. He's the public defender. He's like the guy saying, enough, stop that stuff. It's bad. You know, we call him the 8020 guy, but he's the 8020 guy because we're 80. You know, he's got such a necessary role right now, more than any other president. I don't know, I can't think of any president who's basically the face of the public. To the elites to say like, no, you can't do that. You can't put guys in women's sports. You gotta shut down the border. We got criminals coming in. So what if he wants to build a ballroom? It's not our cash. My point is he's our agent. And our agent is eccentric. Our agent likes to do fun things. But bottom line, he's our agent, not theirs. And you should cherish that. You finally have an agent, right? Imagine when you didn't have an agent Kennedy, what it was like sitting on the street, begging for change, busking, busking.
- [39:00]
D
She's had an agent longer than all of us.
- [39:02]
B
That's true.
- [39:03]
C
741 years. The fastest is up next.
- [39:08]
D

Welcome back. San Francisco riders screaming as a light rail hits a 50 mile per hour turn with the driver asleep. Watch this.
- [40:00]
C
I'm sorry.
- [40:01]
D
Relax.
- [40:02]
C
Relax. Relax.
- [40:04]
D
We didn't crash.
- [40:05]
B
Relax.
- [40:07]
E
Well, she had. She made a point. It didn't crash. But that had to be one second.
- [40:09]
C
Yeah, relax. That's really hard to relax when you've got whiplash and a concussion. I'm sure she'd be a great air traffic controller if Pete Buttigieg is president.
- [40:18]
E
Jesse, your thoughts about this?
- [40:19]
F
You think I'm gonna say something about dei, don't you? You think I'm gonna do it, but I'm not.
- [40:24]
E
You just play one. You know what? You just play one.
- [40:26]
F
We need smelling salts. Okay. It's like the poor man's cocaine. This is 8:30 in the morning. She's had a long night. She probably had a few pops. Coffee's not enough smelling salt. We used to do it in football practice in high school. All the time.
- [40:39]
D
I would never do that gesture again if I were you.
- [40:43]
E
Dp did you often do it?
- [40:45]
D
Takes a long time to put those eyelashes like that on to. No wonder she was tired.
- [40:50]
E
It's a gut feel. You're California. What are your thoughts on this?
- [40:52]
B
Well, I think they did an investigation. They found out why she was asleep. She was watching Jesse's show on her la. On her phone.
- [40:58]
F
No, she definitely was not. Yeah, she was my audience.
- [41:04]
E
One more thing is up next.
- [41:07]
B
Hang all the mistletoe. I'm going to get to know you better.
- [41:15]
D
This eczema is.
- [41:21]
B
Time now for one more thing. I'll go first. Thank you. Yeah. Tonight's show, we got Cat 10, Chael Sonan, Steve Byrne and Kennedy. That's tonight. Hey, let's do this. Greg. Sneaky Lemur News with. All right, roll the tape. This is Karen Lemur trying to steal lettuce from Garth the Tortoise at the San Francisco Zoo. Me and the brilliant Juan Williams would often go to the zoo just to check out the lemurs, which are notoriously sneaky, much like Molly Hemingway, and are known to steal things from unsuspecting humans. Here he is trying to steal a tray. Wonder what he's gonna do with it.
- [42:01]
D
Not that hard to steal something from the cops.
- [42:03]
B
I always enjoy Harold Ford's commentary. You know I don't always agree with him, but I enjoy his commentary. I imagine he smells nice, too. Smells like a spring day dripping with spring water.
- [42:18]
F
Jesse does smell good.
- [42:20]
E
Confirmed.
- [42:21]
F
We now have our very own Fox American Wine Shop Club. Look at this. Look at this.

E
Dana.

D
Okay, look at this. Traffic jam in South Africa because one of Greg's friends was hanging around out there. Which one of those friends? Which one of your friends is that?
- [43:08]
B
Stelter.

Oh, okay. Yeah, that's who it was down there in south africa.
