Emily Compagno
Hello, everyone. I'm Emily Compagno along with Piers Morgan, Joey Jones, Katie Pavlich and Greg Gutfeld. It's five o' clock in New York City and this is the five. She's back and more bitter than ever. Failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris giving her first post election interview to failed late night host Stephen Colbert. The former veep whined about the broken political system, the same one that handed her the nomination without a single vote. She also punted when asked who the current leader of the Democratic Party is.
Kamala Harris
I just, for now, I don't want to go back in the system. I think it's broken. I always believed that as fragile as our democracy is, our systems would be strong enough to defend our most fundamental principles. And I think right now that they're not as we want it to be, transactional. Where I'm asking for their vote.
Greg Gutfeld
Who's leading the Democratic Party? I'm just curious.
Kamala Harris
There are lots of leaders and there's.
Greg Gutfeld
Generally a leader of the Democratic Party, you know, like, oh, that's the leader Democratic Party. Who comes to mind.
Kamala Harris
I think there are a lot of. I'm not going to go through names because then I'm going to leave somebody out and then I'm going to hear about it.
Emily Compagno
It's just a preview of what we can expect. On her upcoming book tour, she also served up some of her famous word salad.
Greg Gutfeld
How's Doug?
Kamala Harris
My birthday is in October. The election's in November. You see where I'm going. And Dougie kind of dropped the ball on my big birthday. We would have these events where people who I'm sure had never been under the same roof with the people who are standing next to them. I like these kinds of earpods that have the thing.
Emily Compagno
And Kamala's not the only Democrat haunting the party. Joe Biden stumbled back on stage to ramble about existential threats. Another malarkey.
Piers Morgan
Not since those tumultuous days in the 1960s has this fight been so existential to who we are as a nation. With marginalized groups so dramatically under attack, it's not enough to honor the heroes that came before us. We need new heroes now. No, we do.
Greg Gutfeld
We need you to follow in their.
Emily Compagno
Footsteps and for real. And when President Otto Penn is discussing heroes, he may be referring to Mike Donilon. That's Biden's longtime strategist who testified yesterday he would have pocketed an extra 4 million if Joe got reelected. Greg, pick your agonizing figure to.
Greg Gutfeld
I'll do both. Quickly, one, the interview was pathetic. It was basically two rejects consoling each other and somehow believing that neither of them had anything to do with their demise. It's the system, it's the voters, it's the viewers. They're what's broken. I felt like I was listening to two outcasts from the Bachelor sharing a limo back to the airport. You know? You know what? We were too good for him. You know? But when you see them together, it kind of does tell you that the loss that the Democrats experienced was a package deal. It was kind of bigger than that. It wasn't just Kamala. It wasn't just Colbert. Was npr radical campus bureaucrats. Look what's happening to Harvard and Columbia. Left wing nonprofits going under Media Matters. There's all these entities that could only survive together in their own insulated, corrupt power. And as one goes down, which was Biden and then Kamala, they're all going down. With Joe, it's. He looked terrible, but I mean, what else is new? But speeches are where he's at because he can say he could fumble through the most hysterical nonsense, but there's no pushback. He could just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But it does expose one of the great lies of his presidency, that he never was in charge because he came in as a moderate, but he speaks like Angela Davis on Gerita. He does nothing even remote to healing. Remember, he was going to heal a country. He's a conduit still for division. That speech is the same one he's been doing for four years. If Trump is an existential threat to marginalized communities, can you please name one? And it has to be an American one. You know, is it blacks? Is it Hispanics? Is it gays? How are we dismantling the Constitution? See, when you're doing a speech, he doesn't have to provide that. He just says it. He's the detritus of a dead party. This is not. The stuff doesn't work anymore. His batteries are dead. I think we almost should just stop showing him.
Emily Compagno
Yeah, it's sort of like being shown photographs. Yeah, exactly.
Greg Gutfeld
It's an open casket at this point.
Emily Compagno
We need a graphic warning. People like that.
Piers Morgan
Yeah.
Emily Compagno
So, Katie. All right, we're seeing one horse that's out to pasture. Should be. And then Kamala, she's on a book tour. She says she's not running for governor. She can't even name a leader. What's on the horizon here?
Katie Pavlich
I mean, watching this interview, it makes me think that her book's gonna be a total Dud. Because she can't even explain, like, who's in charge, what actually went wrong. She's deflecting and saying that it's a matter of our democracy falling apart. Even though we just had an election to elect Donald Trump, who won every single swing state and beat her after she was anointed and didn't win, as you mentioned, a single vote, not just in that election, but in the primaries when she ran for president the first time. This is another rebrand of her. I'm happy to see her say that she doesn't want to be in public office. She says she wants to go talk to people outside in the country. She wants to listen to them. Based on the fact that she went to Stephen Colbert for this interview and didn't name a single policy position that the Democrats maybe went too far on. I don't think she's actually interested in talking to people. I think she's interested in holding onto her resume, doing what she can to make money giving speeches. But I would say whoever keeps booking her and Joe Biden to Keep talking about 2024 and the Biden administration, when Democrats really want to move on and really hope to get some political power against Trump in the midterms, they're sabotaging the Democrats and maybe they should stop booking them for public appearances because it's not working out well for them at all.
Piers Morgan
Right.
Emily Compagno
In the, like, hundreds of times she mentions. Well, I talked about it in the book to Stephen Colbert. It was so sort of revealing to me because all of us here at the table, we've all written books, and when we talk about it, we say, yeah, I wrote this. I wrote this. She always just said she talked because clearly she just had a conversation with someone and they took the word salad and typed it up for her. But what do you see on the horizon for the Democrat Party? Because as Katie said, so these guys are still getting booked. They're sort of the proverbial leaders, but at the same time, obviously, they're empty vessels. But we shouldn't celebrate and spike the football too early.
Joey Jones
Yeah, well, in my book, behind the Badge, which is available wherever books are sold, Listen, the book is labeled 107 days. And I think that she does think she's going to get a mulligan on this presidential election because of the situation that she was, in her words, put into. And I say in her words to say that's probably how she wants to present it. And you know what? It's probably true. I mean. I mean, she has a stronger argument than a lot of other Democrats in the sense that have failed in an election like Stacey Abrams or Beto o' Rourke, that have recycled through the washing machine and come out worse each time. I don't think she has any kind of major appeal. But I also know how lost in the wilderness Republicans were through the entire Obama years post Bush. And regardless of what you think about Bush, he was probably as or more unpopular than Biden is now at the end of his term, second term. So this idea that Democrats are just. They're trashed and they're wandering without a leader until the leader shows up, sure. But that can happen overnight in a world where we all have cell phones. So this idea that you're taking some sort of victory lap over the Democrats right now is crazy to me. It might be Gavin Newsom. It might be Kamala finding her words. It might be someone in the House that we never talk about, but they're always a day and a moment away from getting popular again. And sometimes that's even when Republicans shoot themselves in the foot, which for me is not a big deal.
Piers Morgan
But for most, it would be.
Emily Compagno
So, Piers, all right, Biden said we need new heroes now. So to Jo point, is that sort of a veiled admission? Look, we need someone, anyone, who could it be? Because we've got a lot of Instagram politicians there in that party. So I think popping up, what they really need is a human.
Piers Morgan
Yes, that would be a good low bar.
Emily Compagno
Yeah, exactly.
Piers Morgan
It's a very, very low bar. First of all, lovely to be back and lovely to see a handsome man in the middle seat there. Makes a big difference with Jesse not here. Look, speaking frankly, as your friend from across the pond, they're a complete and utter shambles, aren't they, the Democrats? I mean, they've hit record low approval polls. She talks about a broken system and her big book. I have a book coming, actually, genuinely called Woke is Dead. And in a way, listening to her words salading away with Colbert, who is the epitome of the late night woke guy, who hates Trump and everything about him and believes all the nonsense that the Democrats have spewed the last few years, you know, Woke is dead. They just haven't got the memo yet. And so what you're seeing is the last kind of vestiges of that mindset, which was repudiated in the most spectacular fashion in the last election. And you know, if they're wondering why Donald Trump got reelected, partly it's his huge personality, his policies about the economy, about immigration, and so on, but also because he saw through the number one fault line, I think, of the Democrats, the absolute abandonment of common sense. And you can chart it, really. I discussed this last time I was on the show. The moment you try and convince the public that it's perfectly reasonable and fair to have a 6 foot 4 inch man dominating in a women's sport like swimming or athletics or whatever, you have lost your marbles. So they've got to get back to common sense. I don't. I mean, the reason she couldn't answer the question, I don't think they know who the future is. I agree with you, Joey. I do think history shows somebody's going to come through here. They've got to get somebody like a Bill Clinton. They've got to get somebody in the center who can return them to at least looking and sounding like they understand common sense. I don't know who that person is, but they've got to do it fast. Because right now, looking at Kamala, looking at Biden, I mean, my God, the idea that if that guy had won and have become president for the next four years of the United States, he can barely move.
Greg Gutfeld
If I saw him like in a public space, I would like, I'd think I was like in a haunted house.
Piers Morgan
No, it's true. It's embarrassing.
Greg Gutfeld
It's scary. Yeah, he scares me.
Emily Compagno
Well, guys, coming up, Trump wants to make America fit while liberals freak out over Sydney Sweeney being in shape. Stay with us.

Katie Pavlich
All right, well, Trump is trying to make America fit again by bringing back the Presidential Fitness Test for schools, requiring students to do things like run a mile and pull ups.
Joey Jones
The order that I'll sign today in a few moments. Directs the council to develop strategies to improve America's physical fitness and renew the American spirit. Excellence, competitiveness and sportsmanship.
Piers Morgan
Health, fitness, sports, nutrition, all of it. I think learning that at a young age sets you up for success in life. And without it, you're at a lesser place for it.
Joey Jones
Help our youth be healthy and thrive.
Greg Gutfeld
And the importance of living a healthy, active lifestyle.
Emily Compagno
Is cannot be any more important than nowadays.
Katie Pavlich
And as it goes with both Trump directives, the left is not into the health push. According to New York Times op ed, thinness is a right wing obsession. The writers doubled down on a podcast, going as far as to imply that it's racist to be health conscious.
Kamala Harris
Are they just part of the general environment right now, which is kind of.
Katie Pavlich
Like, okay with being unabashedly pro skinny?
Emily Compagno
I think what happened with the body positivity movement is it got co opted by the wellness movement, and so people stopped using language like, oh, I'm doing this to be thin, I'm doing this to be healthy. Healthy was always synonymous with thinness in the mainstream. And also it's very white.
Piers Morgan
Okay.
Katie Pavlich
And liberals are still losing it. Over the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad campaign, pop star Lizzo responded with the caption, my jeans are black. And we all should say that. American Eagle has released a statement saying, sydney Sweeney has great jeans. And it's always been about the jeans. They appreciate everybody who's wearing their jeans. I've always loved American Eagle jeans. All right, where do we start here? I think let's start with the Presidential Fitness Test. When I was in sixth grade, Joey, we had to run a mile every morning because we would hike the Grand Canyon at the end of the year. I thought that was great. And now kids are going to be able to do this in their schools again.
Joey Jones
Yeah, I mean, we don't want fat, lazy kids. We just don't want that. Our country needs people that can run towards danger and run away from danger and not sit there and look up on their phone. What is danger? And that's who our kids have turned into. We've done this to them. We poison them with the food. We hand them an iPad or an iPhone instead of kicking them out of the house and telling them to go get hurt and we'll put a band aid on it. I don't know if the Presidential Fitness Test is the way to get there, but it's at least a forward facing step in the right direction. I think anytime you can get Triple H and Harrison Butler together on something. They may agree politically, but the things they espouse aren't exactly the same. I think it's really cool to see these people that have been in their own right demonized by the left media and standing right beside Trump that also stand for something. And this thing being healthy kids. I mean, what I love about President Trump is no matter how he presents it, he really does present things that kind of say the left, I dare you to go against this. And they take the bait every time.
Katie Pavlich
Yeah. So, Emily, this is part of a broader Make America healthy again push. Approximately one in five U.S. children and adolescents are obese. It's a serious health issue that underlies everything else that causes problems inside the country. So obviously physical fitness is an important thing, whether it's this presidential fitness test or broadening out to join athletics, et cetera. But it's certainly a good thing for the country.
Emily Compagno
Yeah. And I think, you know, the reviving the test, the most important thing about it, in addition that movement is medicine, is that it's a signal. Right. That it's not just about calisthenics, calisthenics, but it's a cultural corrective here because we've been told for the last four years that fitness was elitism and that self improvement was oppression. Health was pathologized. Right. So now the President is saying, actually strength and discipline and personal responsibility not only matter, but they're acknowledged like, we see you and it is good for, for you and our country if everyone is into it. And when the NYT columnists have decried thinness as some type of right wing ideal, you know, it really underscores that it's their worldview, not ours, which is a fear that excellence might be aspirational. And then you dig a little deeper and you say, well, what are they talking about when they talk about thinness? And the analysis was on the concept that apparently Christian right wingers prioritize protein and non synthetic hormones working out building muscle mass. So it has nothing to do actually with this anorexia based assumption. It's the fact that everyone actually wanted to optimize their health. What is wrong with that? Well, again, see, the left, they will always see it as racist. And from their lazy world views, they just want everyone else to be fat and lazy so they have an excuse to do so. But President Trump says, not on my watch.
Katie Pavlich
All right, Piers, do you want to talk about shuttle runs and pull ups or Lizzo versus Sydney Sweeney?
Piers Morgan
Well, I think speaking as the elite athlete at the panel.
Emily Compagno
That's right.
Piers Morgan
I didn't actually know that I was that right wing until I looked at myself, realized how skinny I was and thought, wow, wow, I guess I am. I knew the day would come when Donald Trump would do something where every rational human being in the world would obviously immediately, instinctively respond with, that's a great idea. 1 in 5 kids in America are obese. Let's get them at school doing stuff which makes them A little bit fitter, little bit healthier. And you see the reaction and you're just like, what is wrong with you? What is wrong with you? Imagine, imagine. Imagine hearing this news and thinking, oh, for God's sake, Trump's making our kids fitter, healthier. This is disgusting. This is why I hate a man. This is why he shouldn't be President of the United States. And that's literally what some of them are doing as they foam at the mouth. And again, my message to my liberal friends, do you know what would be really empowering for you? For your mental health, for my mental health, for all of our mental health. If you just heard a campaign like this and you went, you know what? That's a good idea. I agree with Donald Trump. I agree. Why don't we all just come together and agree, let's make our kids fitter. Another interesting point on this. RFK mentioned about bringing competition back to schools. I loved hearing that.
Katie Pavlich
Oh, well, that's not allowed because, you.
Piers Morgan
Know, we've got to a stage.
Katie Pavlich
Some kids are better than others.
Piers Morgan
Yeah. And we've got to a stage again with the woke left. And I have nothing in common with these people. I used to identify as a liberal. I can't now because they've been hijacked by these lunatics.
Joey Jones
Does that mean we're going gun shopping?
Piers Morgan
I think we may well be jokes. We may well be. Actually. I'll bring. My brother was a British army colonel. He's a very good shot. So I'll bring him. We'll go out together, we'll get him there soon. But the thing about winning is that the wokeism mindset is that winning is actually wrong. Losing is to be celebrated because then you can be a victim, you can wallow in not winning. And winners should be frowned upon. When did we get to that? When did America or the United Kingdom get to a place where you think winning is losing and losing is winning? So I applaud this and I think that Trump is absolutely spot on. And to the woke left. Wake up, smell the cappuccino, agree it's a good idea. And just. You'll stop yourselves hyperventilating. It'll be healthy for you as well.
Katie Pavlich
So, Greg, as our resident health expert.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes.
Katie Pavlich
What is your opinion about this whole thing?
Greg Gutfeld
It's a war on jolly kids. When I grew up, the pudgy kids were the fun ones that the best food in the fridge, they had the best jokes, and you could stay. You could stay up all night at their house. Here's the Thing. I think that all of you guys have touched on this, this kind of overarching issue. Good things are hard to do, so don't do.
Joey Jones
That's exactly right.
Greg Gutfeld
It is what you know, you can look at like physical fitness, beauty, hard work, self care, following the law, waiting in line, patriotism, citizenship, self defense, having a family. All of these things have been denigrated. Denigrated in kind of this modern progressive era. And they are aspirational, but more important, they're also hard like and, and the woke has told you and so convenient. How is it, how convenient is it that the things that they hate also happen to be really hard?
Joey Jones
Yeah.
Greg Gutfeld
So it's like, you know, not only do you not have to do that, do those things, by not doing them, you're actually doing good. So you tell the body positivity movement that the morbidly obese person. Yeah, it's actually a good thing. This is actually your identity to be £400. It's actually really good. You don't. Discipline is actually oppressive. So every. The body. Bottom line is everything good in life requires hard work, especially up front for the long term benefit, whether it's exercise or music lessons or whatever. So underneath its criticism is a fear of effort. And you see it when you look at their mug shots. Antifa. These are unruly slobs. And it's actually kind of sad because there's somebody missing in their life that needs to grab them and go, dude, you're just wasting your life. You're wasting your life. You could be this, you could be that, you could be this. But you, you put your identity before meaning and that is what's destroyed. I think a lot of these ugly.
Katie Pavlich
Fat people, unruly slobs. All right, coming up, voters tell Democrats that they are a holes.

Joey Jones
Democrats have finally realized what, what cost them the election in 2024. And the answer is being a hole. The raging Cajun faulted the left's embrace of transgenderism as a losing issue, but is optimistic the party will rework its radical messaging. I think at the point you're going to look silly if you go to trans stuff. Okay. I think that idea his white come and gone. I think the Democrats realize they're not gonna say anything stupid on this again. Meanwhile, the first openly transgender member of Congress says Democrats like Gavin Newsom and Rahm Emanuel are overcorrecting when it comes to men and women's sports. McBride also called out Democrats for not connecting with voters.
James Carville
Voters feel like Democrats have sort of been to them. And I do think that a voter asks two questions when they're considering who to vote for. The first question is, does this candidate, does this party like me? And by extension, do they respect me? Do they care for me? But do they like me? If you can't answer that first question to a voter satisfaction, they won't even get to the second question, which is, what does this party think? What does this candidate think?
Joey Jones
Greg, I've honestly never asked myself if a party or a candidate liked me. I've never even thought that. I presume that Donald Trump and I have very little in common in our regular lives. I ask myself, do I like what he's advocating for? And maybe like, maybe it's a cell phone, but where is he coming from there?
Greg Gutfeld
Well, Carville first says that this issue is bad politically. No, it's way bigger than that. This is the biggest social issue of our time because it plays self identity over truth and biology, which indulges absurd, absurdity and is harmful to human beings. Imagine a woman is holding a Cabbage Patch doll and says to you, this is my baby and you must be compelled to treat it as such and treat me like a mother. That is madness. The Dems expect Americans to do that with trans. A five year old boy says he's a girl and we are compelled to accept no on behalf of society and also civilization. We can't, we can't be compelled. Transgender issue is criminal. When greedy physicians redefine the mutilation of children as gender affirming. We can never use that phrase again. Gender affirming. It's sex removal. It's quite possibly the worst medical procedure practice in history, perhaps even worse than lobotomies because it's destroying children. Kaiser Permanente just paused surgery on trans presenting children. They say pause because they're just going to wait for the political climate to change where they can go back. They're still giving out the hormones and the blockers, but they still manipulate the language by using the word care when it's destroying the physicality and the psych psychology of children and it disrupts young lives. For 70, 80 years on, they will always be under the care of a physician. And that's the point. They have to pay. They have to pay. Now, I just want to talk about adults because we brought up that political leader. I don't understand biological, real women being supportive of something that so profoundly denigrates women. Women have spent decades fighting stereotypes. Long hair, skirts, makeup, high voices. You know what defines a trans woman? A man who amplifies all of those stereotypes. They act like women. And we must be compelled to indulge in this fantasy. It's. It's bonkers.
Katie Pavlich
Yeah.
Joey Jones
Katie, I don't know that we could come up with a better way to show the turmoil the Democratic Party's in than to have James Carville in a sound bite, say the trans issue is toxic and follow it up with a trans member of Congress talking about how Democrats are a holes. Or. I mean, they're almost agreeing on the fact that Democrats are in the toilet, but obviously they're not on the same page.
Katie Pavlich
It's toxic because Democrats have been shoving it down the throats of average Americans and women in their locker rooms, in their battered women's shelters, in their prisons for years. And if people can't trust you to understand basic biology, why would they trust you on other issues or think that you could handle big issues of substance? And Carville tries to talk about this like this is some distraction. Democrats in the House have a voting record on this. Every single Democrat in the House voted against protecting women's sports, keeping men out of their locker rooms. The Biden administration used Medicaid to fund these mutilation surgeries on children. This is what they did. So for Carville to say this is just some big distraction and make sure that you don't get bogged down in talking about it, this isn't just an issue of talking. This was a huge policy position that Democrats for the past four years took and ran with in every single agency inside the federal government and enforced it with the power of the Department of Justice, with the power of the Department of Education. So if they don't want to talk about it, that's fine, but they have a very long voting record and policy record in office, you know, pushing it with American taxpayer dollars. And it's something that was not only rejected in the last election, but one that polling consistently shows is going opposite of what Democrats think on it, not in favor of it.
Joey Jones
Pierce, as the guy at the table has been called Nahole more than anybody else, although I don't agree with you.
Piers Morgan
Stop talking about yourself.
Greg Gutfeld
Joe, what do you think about this?
Piers Morgan
You know what I think? I think that this comes down to the Core debate here about what the Democrat Party ought to be about. It used to be about liberalism, right? It used to be the party of tolerance, of fairness, of accepting people as they were, of having different types of people, different types of voters voting for them. But underpinning it, genuine sense of being a liberal. What does it become in this woke era, which has been completely baffling to people like me who used to think they were liberal, it became a form of fascism. It became a way of telling people how they should think, how they should dress, what historical figures they could revere, what books they could enjoy, what comedy they could find funny, and so on and so on and so on. And it became a party of scolding, scolding people who did not sign up to their very narrow worldview that they created and the virtue signaling that went with it, the bullying, the cancel culture that if you deviate one iota from what we tell you, you have to be, then we're going to destroy you. We're going to shame you, abuse you, we're going to get you fired, we're going to do whatever we can to destroy you. And so they became, and this is the great irony, which is what I've tried to tell them, they became the very thing they professed to despise most. They became fascists. This is actually what fascism is. It is where you try and instill your worldview, a narrow worldview on everybody. And if they deviate, you destroy them. And until the Democrats move on from that. Karvel is right. Look, politically and actually in the reality, he's right. They have to move on from this or they are going to get wiped in the next election and the one after common sense has to return. And actually when Kamala Harris talks about a broken system, America is a two party system. It is not good for American democracy if the Democrats continue down this path and literally disintegrate. I don't think that's healthy for them, but it's not actually healthy for Republicans. You need a good opposition who could hold you to account, who can challenge you, who can actually work with you, perhaps on good policy and take you on about bad policy. The way the Democrats are going, I don't think they realize just how perilous this moment is for them. I have never seen a party that has lost touch with the majority of people in the way that this Democrat party now has. So that's their challenge.
Joey Jones
Emily?
Emily Compagno
Yeah. Your comments reminded me of this court case in the Olympics where a biologically female athlete had to sue because her testosterone levels were naturally higher than the threshold and she had to present herself and say no, show all the medical records. I promise I'm a biological female. The point is that that approach makes no account for the divers diversity within biological females. It's creating the paper dolls where we all look alike. So that woman face automatically makes you a woman. Where in reality biological women are incredibly diverse, clearly. And with the decrying by the left of bringing up, you know, adjacent eugenics and sterilization, they are sterilizing a generation of those people that are for some reason susceptible to influence or somehow confused and it will have a generational impact. You're absolutely right. Obviously appears that, you know, Carville's warning, it's not just strategic, it is existential because those people that have fish hooked this entire party to the extreme left are totally ignoring that the majority of their party was governed by reality, not theatrics, not ideology, not asking questions of looking in the mirror. Whether you like me, am I accepted? No. Does your government keep you safe, secure and your rights protected? Are you free? Do you have the power to vote? Those are the questions you should be asking if you're asking whether someone likes you. Clearly no one does.
Piers Morgan
We have a very woke prime minister in Britain, Keir Starmer. And it was fascinating watching Trump in Scotland say in front of him, next to him, if you want to be a good leader, actually it's quite simple. You just let people pay less taxes, you have a strong border, you have tough immigration policies, you have fewer foreign wars. And he rattled these things off. And I can see a lot of my British friends going, wow, really? Can we have a piece of that?
Greg Gutfeld
All right.
Joey Jones
A man takes a golf cart for a joyride at the airport. I didn't know where that sentence was going. That and the fastest is up next.
Greg Gutfeld
Don't rock jukebox.

Piers Morgan
Well, welcome back from California girls to Canadian men romance. Rumors are swirling of a newly single pop star Katy Perry and the former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Trudeau was Just spotted at her concert days after TMZ caught the two out at dinner. Greg, I can't think of anybody probably more up to speed with the romantic maneuverings of Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry.
Greg Gutfeld
The new they could be the next Harry and Meghan. You know when you put two people together and their odiousness is amplified, so it's almost like a thousand people. A thousand. I can't think of two people who deserve each other more. The only problem is, if they're not together, they might be able to pull a separate idiot to each saving two other idiots from pain. So I don't know about this, but I. They. I can't. They're the most two unappealing people I can think of.
Piers Morgan
Yeah, well, Emily, I mean, there's a checklist. Now, three things have happened. He was apparently seen in a black T shirt at her concert on his own. Then they're seen having a walk. Then they're seen having what looks like a romantic dinner. I'm saying three for three. I'm doing the maths. And it looks like a romance trifecta.
Emily Compagno
I hear what you're saying. However, here was the issue I had with it. If you had a boyfriend at a concert and you were a pop star, wouldn't you have him backstage? Wouldn't you have him in the VIP seat? Why would he be there in, like, general admission? That's what I didn't understand. So I wasn't sure if this was staged. Apparently, he was just weird.
Piers Morgan
He was singing along. Joey, It's a Teenage Dream.
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, Lord, how appropriate.
Joey Jones
I mean, that's a banger right there. You know, when we cover the Royal Family close here. When we cover Royal Family on this. On this channel, I always make note that, hey, we fought a war to not care about these people. Unfortunately, Justin Trudeau is more consequential to my life than the Royal Family and many. So maybe I should care. It just gets really hard to care about things that People magazine cover. So what am I going to say? I'm more of an astronaut than Katy Perry? I was rocket propelled once for about 0.8 seconds. That's what it is.
Piers Morgan
And by the way, Joey, you shouldn't knock monarchies. Really? Because if you hadn't done such a disastrous thing as kick us out of your country, you could have had King Piers the first. And look how much better things would have been. Me on the throne of the United States to the American by giving you my nightly address in this accent, telling you how to lead your life. Katie, this this romance, it could be true because Katy Perry recently split from Orlando Bloom.
Katie Pavlich
That's true.
Piers Morgan
He recently split from his wife. They are both apparently single. What do you think? Do you care?
Katie Pavlich
I think he just wants to date a woman who's been to space for a second and she wants to make sure she's part of the Castro dynasty.
Piers Morgan
Yeah. Oh, there you go. Okay, well, there we go.
Emily Compagno
But who's the hot girl that was next to him in the audience? Maybe that was his new fling.
Katie Pavlich
I think he wanted to be in the audience because he likes attention. You know, he's like, I need people to see me singing now that I'm not the prime minister.
Greg Gutfeld
Who's the little guy?
Piers Morgan
Fat Mail Friday is up next.
Greg Gutfeld
What you want to do is save hundreds. This is Jimmy Falla inviting you to join me for Fox Across America, where we'll discuss every single one of the Democrats dumb ideas. Just kidding. It's only a three hour show. Listen live at noon Eastern or get the podcast@foxacrossamerica.com the first question from John. I love this question. What movie would you change the ending to? It's a tough one, but who's got. Who's got it on the tip of their tongue?
Katie Pavlich
I do.
Greg Gutfeld
What? Kate.
Katie Pavlich
Conclave.
Greg Gutfeld
Conclave. Oh, nice.
Katie Pavlich
Lol.
Greg Gutfeld
What would you like it to be?
Katie Pavlich
Reality.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah.
Katie Pavlich
Based on.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, that was that. The Pope ends up being a hermaphrodite or a Intersect.
Katie Pavlich
I think it was hermaphrodite.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah.
Piers Morgan
So.
Katie Pavlich
Yeah, that was weird.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, that was weird.
Joey Jones
Joey, the Notebook.
Emily Compagno
Do not change that perfectly.
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, what would you have. What would you. He dies.
Joey Jones
No, they both die. The way it is now. They both die.
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, they both die.
Joey Jones
I would just have him die. And then she starts a whole new life because she forgets anyway.
Greg Gutfeld
Really? I never saw the movie, but I'm glad it upset Emily so much. That was amazing that I love it when you get so upset. Emily.
Emily Compagno
Well, because I thought you were gonna say that you don't want them to be together. And I was like, no, they have to be together.
Joey Jones
No, it's just. It's so weird because everybody cries that they die. And I think it's very fitting that they die. I don't find it sad at all. They're later in life.
Piers Morgan
She's.
Joey Jones
She's lost her mind. Y' all just pass on over across the ocean. But it ruins the movie for me because every time I watch it with somebody, they cry and I'm like, no, it's just. It's a good Interview.
Katie Pavlich
How many times have you watched it?
Greg Gutfeld
A lot. What about you, Emily?
Emily Compagno
I think there's a thousand. But basically any sad ending where somebody dies, I need to have it be happy. But I'll say that let's just pick Point Break. And also, like, in that scenario, I really would have loved both of them to end up with a different woman.
Greg Gutfeld
Mm.
Emily Compagno
Interesting key on you and Patrick Swizzy is what I'm saying.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah. What about you?
Joey Jones
He said the Patriot.
Piers Morgan
Yeah, I kind of like the Patriot ends with the British royal family making a dramatic comedy back and then I become king. Yeah. I think, I think anything where the British are made to look ridiculous, I'm going to go.
Greg Gutfeld
I always go back to Deliverance. I think that those, the hillbillies and the inner city guys could have hit it off together if they were just given a chance.
Piers Morgan
Yeah.
Greg Gutfeld
You know, he didn't have to kill the guy. They could have gone out. They could have gone kayaking. Could have been a great time for everybody. But I digress. One more thing is up next.
Emily Compagno
If you're an illegal alien, listen to.

Emily Compagno
It's time now for one more thing, Greg.
Greg Gutfeld
Ah, tonight we have a great show. You gotta tune in Todd Pyro, Sherrod, small Joe DeVito and some chick. Let's do this. Animals are great. Animals are great. Animals are great. Human beings aren't the only species, whatever, that can make and use tools. For example, check out these otters at the Oregon Zoo smashing oysters on rocks. Using rocks as tools to break it open because they can't eat what's inside. Interestingly enough, otters, sea otters eat 25% of their body weight in food every day. Another thing they have in common with the View.
Emily Compagno
All right, guys, I wanted to tell you about this adorable priest in Brazil. His name is Father Paolo. Every Sunday he features a different dog to help raise awareness and promote adoption. You guys, this is his mission. And he feeds, bathes them, and then look at that. This is every Sunday. So far, he has helped rehome nearly 200 dogs. God bless Father Paolo. Adorable. Love it, Joey.
Joey Jones
Okay, so here we go. We've got this guy gets here. Yeah, I can't remember. Well, I can't remember the country that this is in. I think it was. Was it Spain? That's it. Check this out. I just want you to watch this video. If you. If you saw that, that guy looks like an acrobat, right?
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah.
Joey Jones
He's dodging a flock of birds. That's what's happening. Yeah. He's doing that to save his own life. That is amazing. Also, never go to air shows. They're scary as all get out and if things go bad, you're in the landing zone. Just don't do it.
Katie Pavlich
It's worth it to go, though. They're awesome.
Greg Gutfeld
Okay.
Joey Jones
There we go.
Katie Pavlich
Yeah. Awesome story. I'm glad he was okay and the birds didn't ruin the flight. Okay, here's a great story. World War II veteran named Harold Terrans just turned 102 and he never got to have a bar mitzvah growing up. So he's finally doing it next summer at the Pentagon surrounded by family and friends. Harold says his secret to a long life is less stress and a little luck. Happy birthday to you, Harold, and have a great party.
Greg Gutfeld
He looks great for 102.
Emily Compagno
Happy birthday.
Piers Morgan
And I've got a southern white rhino calf born in safari western California that was named Ozzy after Ozzy Osbourne. The park called it a poignant reflection of the circle of life. He's not apparently biting heads off bats yet, but he's charging into the world with serious rock star energy. Rock in peace, Ozzy. Long live little Ozzy.
Emily Compagno
Aw, he's so cute. What's keter him of the autograd? Just kidding. He is. Okay, that's it for us guys. Have a great night.
