I'm Emily Campagno along with Jessica Tarlop, Jesse Waters, Dana Perino and Greg Gutfeld. It's five o' clock in New York City and this is the fun. Well, the socialists are seizing the means of the Democratic Party. AOC and Bernie Sanders are arguably the most popular popular stars in that dumpster fire packing stadiums during their Fight Oligarchy tour. And last night CNN rolled out the red carpet pun fully intended for the new leaders. And it wasn't good news for Chuck Schumer. Watch.
C
But are you saying that Senator Schumer should not be worried about a primary challenge from you?
D
I mean, all right, no, let me.
E
Jump in on this one.
A
Let me.
D
This is, see what we're talking about.
E
This is exactly what we're talking about.
C
This is what we're talking about.
E
You have a country that is falling apart. We are in a house housing crisis.
A
A health care crisis, an education crisis, massive income and wealth inequality, a corrupt campaign finance system.
B
And the media says, are you going to run? What are you going to run for?
A
Nobody cares.
B
AOC wasn't done there. The socialist star went on to make some bizarre claims about how Republicans are radicalizing young boys.
C
They are able to radicalize and target and exploit a generation of young boys in particular away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker or a different gender than them. And that is why they are resonating online, because they are appealing to the most basest and worst parts of human nature.
B
But there's another Marxist getting attention. Democratic socialist and frontrunner in the New York City mayoral race. Zoran Mamdani sat down with Martha MacCallum and he doubled down on making everything free.
A
These are the most straightforward ways that we can actually fund universal childcare, making.
B
Buses fast and free.
A
And I've said that the two clear ways to do so, raising personal income taxes on the top 1% by 2% and raising the corporate tax to match that of New Jersey's corporate tax of 11.5%.
D
What would you cut? What would you draw from to do it?
A
I don't think we have to cut that confidence.
B
Yeah, just add in more money. Greg, I want to go to AOC for a second with you. Because her delineation of healthy masculinity, remember when it was just toxic? This is her way of saying like, my, my boyfriend's okay and these ones I choose are okay. But it's all about her parsing out words to Regardless, demonize all Republicans.
E
Well, gop. The GOP did not radicalize Charlie Kirk's killer. We know who radicalized him. Her side. So. And if they're trying to figure out why they were so called, co opted or why they left her party, they need to ask who said masculinity was toxic in the first place? Who was always portraying males as, you know, potential rapists and or racists? Who said that fitness and meritocracy and achievement were somehow emblematic of white supremacy? This didn't come from us. You know, someone once said, I don't know who said this. The three words a woman loves to hear is I love you. Two words men want to hear is thank you. The Democratic Party's two words were get lost. And men don't like to be in places where they are not wanted, so they left. But it's an interesting problem for the Democrats because their skill is in promising identity groups. Awesome stuff. But they can't do it with men. Is that weird? They could do it with, you know, gays, male or female, trans chicks, blacks, Hispanics, but they can't do it with men. There's nothing that they can promise. So do you think maybe the very strategy of their identitarian politics is what is turning off men? Because men see it innately as unfair where, where women see it as somehow compassionate, but the compassion is just being exploited. But men just like look at this and go, this doesn't seem right to me. So I would, I mean, maybe they have to ask themselves, what can we do to appeal to men? Is it even possible at this point? You know, we can't rely on left wing influencers like Hasan Piker, cause he electrocutes his dogs. But can you actually say, you know what, maybe we should look at law and order. Maybe, maybe we should think about not allowing people in based on preferences. No gaming of the sexes for fetishists. Just really basic stuff. But if you don't do that, it's not gonna happen. I think this is why Fetterman has a chance. You know, Fetterman last night stood up and said some very refreshing things about like how he loves Trump supporters. We have to stop demonizing these people that are our friends and everything. And he says, I'm tired of being part of the extremist party. He is almost like the J.K. rowling for the Democrat Party. He is making the first move to harpoon a hoax. And if he does it, maybe other people will follow. But it seems like in the Democrat Party they won't. They're already trying to get rid of him.
B
And I felt they strongly Dana pushed like class based messaging, you know, in addition to the, to the political party and the skin color tone. And then they criticize media framing. But everything that Greg said, all of that framing is just echoing what they are starting.
D
Yeah. So it's interesting because the two of them can fill a stadium and they have a very active left wing base, like the far left wing of the base. And those people will always turn out for them. And Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is in a district where it's Democrats plus 30. Okay. So she doesn't have to worry about appealing to anybody else now if she decides to run statewide or nationally, see what happens. But Bernie Sanders has never cared about what other Democrats have to go through. If you actually want to have Democrats who are winning in Trump won districts, then you cannot have them have Bernie Sanders, AOC and Mamdani as their north stars. And if the idea is the way that Democrats succeed would be by pushing Fetterman out of their party, it means that they will again. It's just the shrinking and shrinking of all of it. When Bill Hemmer gets up to do the board on midterm night, you know, it used to be even like 15 years ago you would have, I don't know, 60 competitive districts. Do you know that there's a possibility there will be like 15 coming up? And it doesn't help anybody. And especially like you've seen what's happening in blue states and blue cities, especially when it comes to crime and what we've talked about this a little bit before too. Now you could say maybe the opposite is true. Except for all of those states that are red states. That's where everybody is moving to. So people aren't staying in New York, they're not staying in Vermont. Well, maybe they are. I don't know. I don't really know anything about Vermont. But they're leaving there because of the governance. Illinois is another good example. California is another example. So I think that they're misguided. I understand that they can pull a crowd. I like it that they are willing to engage. But I wish that they would do it outside of their bubble a little bit.
B
Yeah. And those of us who are stuck here, Jesse, I mean, I am horrified by Zoram Dani. I have been since minute one. But the interview with Martha, it really crystallized my fears what he said and what he didn't say, especially along the lines of his blatant anti Semitism, anti Israel, anti Zionism anti everything. I am frightened for the future of New York City.
A
Well, if you're going to make buses free, it's going to be like a crime wave on wheels. You can't let people with mental illness and predators and homeless drug addicts get onto a bus without paying anything. And then they're going to prey on you. And it's not like the subway where there's cops. You know, it's not like a subway. You could just walk off at the next stop. Every 30 seconds, you're trapped on a bus in a very tight situation. And so it's going to be mayhem. You can't have cashless bail and free bus fare. It's kind of simple. Now, the Bernie thing, the ratings came in and they didn't even do a million on cnn. And for cnn, that's actually good to just come in under a million. But it's still, no one cared. AOC was being groomed by Bernie Sanders and she had to get bailed out for the whole hour. And that should not happen at a CNN town hall. For a Democrat, that thing is like a bike with training wheels. It's designed so Democrats don't get hurt. But Bernie had to come in and hit the brakes a few times. If she does a Brett Baer, she'll fall harder than Kamala Harris. But it's good because she has to get her reps because everybody else in the party is really old. She's kind of like a first round draft pick with a lot of talent. But the coach doesn't want to put her in because she might turn the ball over or break her shoulder. That's the risk you play. Now, AOC says the right exploited young men into insecure masculinity. They exploited young men to cut off their manhood. What's more insecure than cutting your manhood off? And the medical professionals did it for money. The feminists did it for revenge. The politicians did it for votes. And if you look at the flowcharts, people identifying as trans is now dropping. Mental illness is now dropping. So hopefully this was just like a quick spike in insanity in this dark chapter of human history. And we're getting back to normal. Thank God.
B
Jessica, I want to give you the opportunity to respond to anything that we've talked about, but I would love to start out with your reaction on, I mean, the future mayor of New York saying that he has no opinion on Hamas other than justice and safety, which that terrorist group has no regard for either. And to ask if you are as frightened of his policies and anti Semitism as I am.
C
I was definitely deeply disturbed by that answer. It was a layup because Hamas is not the Palestinian people. That's what everyone has been saying. Who is defending a two state solution, who's accusing Israel of war crimes, et cetera, saying, you know, you're going after innocent Palestinians and it should be the easiest thing in the world to say that a terror group should lay down their weapons. I was also bothered by the fact that he mentioned that the IDF had killed five Palestinians, but didn't mention that Hamas is standing on the streets of Gaza and shooting indiscriminately at people who they think maybe collaborated with Israel or maybe they don't like the look of them. So that was an F on the report card, to say the least. Or below an F, if that's possible. On the AOC front, you know, people want to make it out as if she was flustered or unable to, you know, gather her thoughts. She was frustrated that she was getting a question about a primary challenge when they were there to talk about the government shutdown and delivering health care for millions of Americans. And I thought that they made their case very strongly. They got one question in particular from a young man who said, you know, the majority of people who need these ACA subsidies extended are Trump voters. It's 21 million of the 24 million or live in Trump states. You know, why don't you just let them lose their health care? And Bernie and AOC made the case back. We want MAGA to have health care as much as we want Democrats to have health care. That's what it means to be an American and to care about the American people. And I think you could see very clearly the reason that anywhere between 10 and 15 percentage points more Americans blame the Republicans for the shutdown than the Democrats on healthy masculinity. What they were talking about is like a toxic group chat, like those GOP operatives that was exposed in Politico, where you have what J.D. vance wants to make it a kids group chat. You have operatives 18 to 40 years old, including a state senator from Vermont, saying things like I love Hitler or calling black people watermelon people, talking about gas chambers for political enemies.
E
Which one's running for ag?
C
I'm glad that you brought up the comp, because, well, you brought that. Well, it's not a comp. It was the example. And then you use something that is.
E
I don't care about. I guess my point is I don't care about some kids. You need to fix Your party, but your party is the danger. Your party is the one with these ideas.
C
Are you denying the fact that the kids to you who could be 35 years old are people who work in the Republican party? J. Jones doesn't have a tax group as far as I'm concerned, where everyone's saying, hey, you know, it'd be fun. Let's go kill Todd Gilbert.
A
You guys are actually killing.
E
Yes. I'm sorry, Charlie Kirk.
C
There you go again with you killed Charlie Kirk on the left. Listen, J.D. vance with his. Oh, I'm not going to clutch my pearls about some kids group chat. He should take a lesson out of Senator Mullen's book. Who said I would never let my kids talk like that?
E
Don't you understand that we can't be lectured by your side anymore?
C
But I also can't be lectured.
E
That's where it's coming from.
C
Who might hear what I'm saying? I know you're not interested in it, but I'm saying there was a group text chain with tons of GOP operatives who are the future of the party saying racist, disgusting crap, praising Hitler, talking about gas chambers, and you are saying no big deal.
E
Do you think. No. The reason why we don't take it seriously is because it always falls, falls apart. I'm sure when we, when we. Yes. It's always going to end up being like, these people were like making bad, sick jokes. They didn't say they're going to kill somebody's children. You got to have the hierarchy correct before you come out with your righteousness.
C
Okay.
B
All right, guys. Up next, narco terrorists who poison Americans are not safe at sea. And President Trump hints they won't be safe on land either.
C
Stay with us.
E
I joined the army into it's will tame country. Watch it live at noon Eastern Monday through Thursday@foxnews.com or on the Fox News YouTube channel. And don't miss the show. Listen and follow the podcast five days a week at Fox News Podcast or wherever you download your favorite podcasts. Are you okay? More bad hombres are about to get barbecued. President Trump's turning up the heat on Venezuela as he continues to bomb the ever loving crap out of narco terrorists in the Caribbean, killing more than 20 people. The Washington Post is reporting of US special ops helicopters operating within roughly 90 miles of Venezuela's northern coast. 47 confirming he's authorized the CIA to take action within the country.
A
Well, I don't want to tell you.
E
Exactly, but we are certainly looking at.
A
Land now because we've got the sea.
E
Very well under control.
A
We've had a couple of days where there isn't a boat to be found. And that. I view that as a good thing, not a bad thing. Does the CIA have authority to take out Maduro? Oh, I don't want to answer a question like that. That's a ridiculous question for me to be given. Not really a ridiculous question, but wouldn't it be a ridiculous question for me to answer, but I think Venezuela is feeling heat.
E
It's a ridiculous question for me to answer, but it's not a ridiculous question. That's kind of brilliant, Dana. Okay, we have to do a little victory lap because you were here. Maybe it was four or five years ago when we posited taking out fentanyl labs in Mexico and people were saying, my God, you can't do that. That's unconstitutional. I think he went one better.
D
They're like, there's the neocon saying it once again. So one thing that this news just came out, that the admiral overseeing the attacks against boats in the Caribbean is stepping down. Admiral Alvin Holland. Have a lot of information yet. There's a New York Times piece. I haven't read the whole thing, but he's stepping down. So this is. I think he's stepping down as this is heating up. Maybe he disagreed or maybe he. They didn't think he was the right person for it. The Secretary of War has thanked him for his service.
E
Is he overweight?
D
Doesn't look it.
E
Okay.
D
Himself, the leader of Venezuela, I think, in a way he wants this fight because then it allows him to say to his people, oh, look, the Yankee imperialists are coming after me. He is the worst leader. He is the worst. And he allows all this narco terrorism to happen because he can't find there's no other way for him to fund the country. And the woman who won the Nobel Prize last week, she was the opposition leader who has been trying to do good things for that country. So I don't exactly know where this goes there. It's interesting, in terms of military law, is this allowed? Is it not? You have some Republicans in the Congress saying, are we going to get a say in this? But what President Trump has is the authority to be able to say, I need to protect my country from terrorists. And he has deemed them as terrorists. And so therefore, seems to me he's got the authority to do it.
E
Jesse, I'm going to ask you a difficult and challenging question. Do you believe narco terrorists have rights.
A
On the high seas? If a Lawyer at the White House says, no, then I'm for it. Let's go get him. But this is more about regime change in Venezuela. We have 10% of our naval power in the region. We have a destroyer fleet. We have F35s there. And now we have these helicopters, which are used for Green Berets, Delta and Special Forces. So this is serious stuff. The CIA has been unleashed. We have a $50 million bounty on this guy's head. Trump's now considering strikes on Venezuelan soil. And so we're engaged in what we like to call some friendly gunboat diplomacy. And the New York Times reported that we've been in negotiations with the regime, and the regime said, we will give you dominant stakes in our oil, our gold, and our mineral wealth. And we've agreed to cut ties with China and Russia and Rubio and Trump said no. So that tells me there's going to be major action against Maduro pretty soon. And you never know how this goes. These things in Latin America can go sideways or also they could be layups. And if it is a layup and Maduro is deposed, we're basically Monroe doctoring. We call it the Dunro doctoring out of Latin America, of China and Russia. And what does that do after the successful strikes against the Iranian regime that basically takes this big pile of deterrence and shoves it right in Taiwan's face, right in Ukraine's face. And Trump is wielding a lot of.
E
Power internationally after Jessica, is this just another example of toxic masculinity now being exported beyond our borders?
C
I'm sure the group chat is crazy for the guys in charge of this. Hopefully not on signal anymore.
A
Hopefully those don't.
C
I remember the day the first boat was struck, and Jesse told me, do you want to be on the side of narco terrorists? And I said, no, not especially. Like, let's see where this goes. And now we're up to multiple votes. And it's not just Venezuelan votes. The Colombians say that one of the votes was theirs and that two Colombian nationals, I think two or three, were murdered when they were struck and that they weren't drug traffickers. Now, do I know if that's the case or not? I'm not sure, but there is a reason that we're.
E
Don't let that stop you.
C
Well, don't let the Constitution stop you. And there's supposed to be oversight. As Dana mentioned, there are Republicans and Democrats alike saying, you know, this is turning into more of a habit than just striking one boat and that we are supposed to have a say in this. And historically speaking, and I know you're going to make fun of me, but that's why I come to work every day. But drug traffickers were considered criminals with due process rights. And this is a conversation we've been having as well about undocumented people in this country who also have due process rights, as Antonin Scalia affirmed. And I don't know if it's a good precedent or road to be going down that he's essentially starting some degree of war without Congress being able to see anything. The intel community, the people who chair these committees are not getting to see what, what it is that, you know the basis for the actions that they're taking. And I don't think that you're gonna be that comfortable with the idea of them going into Venezuelan land without there being any verification besides, you know, Trump and Pete Hegset said so.
E
Well, we'll have to wait and see on that.
C
Well, check your text.
E
Yes.
B
Hi.
E
Hi Emily. I know, I know, I know. I was gonna. I wanted to ask you about the 175,000Americans applying for jobs, but I wasn't sure if you to talk about that or this.
C
Why do you care what she wants to know? You literally force whatever topic you want down my throat.
E
That is true.
D
I miss favorite evidently to I have.
B
To respond to this. The president can can obviously direct covert CIA operations under the National Security act of 1947. All he has to do is issue a presidential finding which basically is a classified briefing he gives to the Gang of Eight via note notifying Congress in that way. And then they can they authorize the funding through the House and the Senate Appropriations committees on intelligence. And the whole point is that if they wanted to withdraw funding, go ahead. But you're right. There is an opacity involved and a third option involved and that's for the sanctity and security of our executive branch in addition to Americans. And I think it's interesting the arguments that oh, this might destabilize Venezuela because to me, the ostrich head in the sand that we suffered from under the Obama administration and the Biden administrations only emboldened terrorists. We I don't argue that we can put them in the criminal drug running box very neatly because they have pivoted significantly since President Trump has taken office and now they are into a whole host of illicit industries pouring over through Canada and taking advantage of their loopholes there. They're raiding avocado farms, not avocados. The liquid gold and the whole the whole point is that these guys, if you think for one second that they're going to let $1 of their billions upon billions of income gained illicitly every year to be diverted or extinguished in any way, they will fight to the death. But at least have faith in our administration that we aren't going to take it lying down. And that 175, here's what I love about it. Do you guys remember the Dems when they put out the choose your fighter and you know, bless them for trying, but they're like old people hopping around and someone's doing a TikTok video. And here they actually have ISA as the Department of homeland Security. It says choose your mission. And when it talks about the brave men and women that are signing up in record numbers now to defend and support this nation, like if you want to be an attorney for the closers, for the resolute, for those who represent the usa, for those that are officers, for the enforcers, for the brave, for those who fight to keep America safe. In direct contrast to the names that the Democrat leadership and elected officials, these congressmen and senators call them, call them Nazis and fascists. No, these are the brave. They're the ones that I take my hat off to and thank them for their service.
E
All right, well said. Kamala says she's the most qualified candidate ever to run for president.
A
Every day and every dark night.
E
So how to speak without lying? Every birth is the if you're an.
C
Illegal alien better than I ever did.
B
Looking like a true survival.
A
She likes it. Kamala's car crash book tour has been a gold mine of content for our producers. Check out this latest gem.
D
I was elected district attorney for two terms as the first woman elected Attorney General of the state of California. Ran the second largest department of justice in the United States, second only to the United States Department of Justice. I was the United States senator, second black woman elected in the history of the United States Senate. And I was the first woman vice president of the United States. So there are those things that I needed to make sure that people knew. Some people have actually said I was the most qualified candidate ever to run for president.
A
Well, Dana, she forgot she also worked for McDonald's.
D
That was never proven. We do know who did work for McDonald's for one day. Handing out fries. She's using her book tour to feel out this alternate reality. So it's 10 months on and she's still trying to convince people that she was the most qualified. So now she's gone to this next level. I'M going to give you a couple things here. She had a partial term in the Senate. She had the worst attendance record in the Senate because she was running for president for most of it. Her term as DA and then Attorney General were catastrophic, including the soft on crime laws that destroyed California. Thank you for the nodding of the head, Emily. Her term as vice president was arguably the biggest albatross on the Democrats today, which is Biden's failed immigration policies, of which she was supposed to be the czar. I'm just going to give you a couple of people who might have been more qualified. She says, most qualified ever.
E
Ever.
D
Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, served as governor of Virginia, minister to France, Secretary of State and vice president. You could go on and on. George H.W. bush, Congressman, Ambassador, Envoy to China, CIA Director, VP for eight years, World War II combat pilot, and even Joe Biden had massively more qualifications than she did.
A
So being a senator and then being vp, that's Biden, that's Gore, that's Johnson, that's Nixon. I don't want to bore you with my perfect research, but Jessica, is she still with it mentally?
C
Yeah, yeah, I think she's with it. My hair is doing such a weird stuff. So what the detectives on the Internet have done is found out that there was a graphic on MSNBC that played like, the day before that had some recent nominees, including Biden, but she had, like, four jobs and he only had, like, three jobs, I think on the graph. And that might have been why she thought that that's just Internet chatter.
A
She got it from a cable news graphic.
C
Don't we all?
A
I would do that.
C
I don't know. I was looking for an explanation because I also, even if I were yesterday.
D
Therefore, I'm a great marathoner.
C
I'm just saying that a lot of people legitimately said that about Hillary Clinton, but she didn't go out and say. Some people are saying you just, you know, you just be yourself and you don't need to say it. But I think maybe it was the graphic.
A
We really dodged a bullet with her, didn't we?
B
I mean, I don't know. Yeah, I'm still standing in front of Zoran, Mom. Like, I just. I feel attacked and appalled. I just want to hide under the bed. Look, here's the thing about Kamala. First of all, if she says the quiet part out loud, it's sort of like when your mom is like, to know you is to love you, and you're like, yay, I love you, but you don't actually say that to everyone. You don't actually repeat that on national television. And then she cites being the first woman vice president as if that makes her qualified, like an immutable characteristic that you can. You have no control. She reminds me of like those Wild west movies where you realize it's just a set, it's just a charade, it's just a facade. She's a resume built on titles, not results. And she's confused this entire time having the title with actually doing the work that either a earned it because she didn't, or doing it and fulfilling it. So all of those titles that you mentioned, Dana, I mean, the pattern is always the same, right? It's just photo ops and speeches and thank you, but there's no substance. It's an illusion of accomplishment. She does not embody leadership. She performs it. And the whole point is that it's like abandoned immediately. So she puts it on her resume and then she's on to the next thing. Remember the, remember the NASA head? Wasn't she head of the Space Council? I mean, what happened to that? There are so many titles, and at the end of the day, this is someone who didn't pass the bar on the first try. This is someone who got elevated and shoved and put into all these positions that voters had no say over and, and other people had no say over. So even her qualifications to actually get her those titles, that fails too. And she's a plagiarist.
A
There's a lot.
E
Greg. Yeah, this is a problem with having an open bar before special events, which she said. Some would say she was referring to the bartender. You know, it's bad. When even the host was returning Friendly Fire, she was like, you got to be out of your mind with Kamala. Everything you hear after some would say you could bet has never ever been said on the planet, ever. She had one great role in politics, Willie Brown. Count it. But she did the one thing that I think, the thing that I think is annoying is when she listed her accomplishments, they were almost all identity driven woman this first black woman that. You can't count that stuff. It's not an achievement being born with a womb, especially in your party where men can do it. Now, if you subtract the dei, those other jobs she did terribly. And every time she lead, the thing is every time you lead with identity, you remind everybody how you got there and you think, you know what? It would have been a better achievement, a greater achievement if she was a white middle aged guy named Mort because she had more Advantages than that.
A
All right, well, the binders book tour is going to start soon, so we'll have more great content for you guys coming on. Yes, she's coming on, not the show. Coming up, Kathy Griffin returns and she's gone full TDS again.
E
There's really 4G.
D
The resistance is getting conspiratorial. Some Democrats are lobbying outlandish theories about President Trump after they put out their report of his most recent physical.
C
It has only led those on the.
B
Medicinal side to think for sure that.
D
He had a stroke.
A
I do think he's got mental health issues and I'm not making fun of that either. I want to be clear. I do think he needs help, dare I say, in decline cognitively and dare I say, forgive me, perhaps unfair, physically, needs an intervention, needs some help, needs to be stabilized.
D
Trump thinks he's a king, and you know he's not. He's barely a president. In fact, guess what? I'm going to say something that's going to get me in trouble. I don't think he won in a free and fair election. Okay, Greg, they're gearing up for the no Kings protest on Saturday.
E
I love the no Kings thing because its very existence proves that it's not necessary. If this was a king led country, you wouldn't be able to have your no Kings protests. I mean, who are you protesting? Spain, Denmark, Cambodia? Dana, they have a king. You look at Kathy Griffin and you wonder, how can they not see what this Trump derangement addiction is doing to them physically? This woman just gets uglier by the minute. And I'm not being mean. I'm just trying to help her because she's essentially, she's trapped inside this delusion and addiction because she's cut off all of her friends that could intercede. Like, generally you keep people around you that say, hey, Dana, you gotta stop with that. But in this case, it's like anybody who says that you've gone up the deep end and Trump addiction, you just cut him out of your life. So she is living in this like hell scape in which, I mean, she is. She's turning into one of those dolls from that, that movie where they're what?
B
Annabelle?
E
I'll take that. I'll take that, I guess.
D
Who's Annabelle?
E
I don't know. I was thinking of the other one, though.
B
The other Insidious.
E
Yes, insidious. That's what I was thinking of.
D
The only doll of a horror movie I know is Chucky.
A
Yeah.
E
No, she doesn't. She doesn't look like Chucky, by the way. This whole March thing, it's an imaginary solution to an imaginary problem. Where do you see that with trans bathrooms, Right? Paper straws. Everything you guys embrace is an imaginary solution to an imaginary problem.
D
What do you think about tds?
A
Well, no, Greg's right. I mean, you can't be a king if the party out of power can shut down the government. I mean, if I were the king, I'd be like, no, we're doing what I want. Trump flew to Israel. It was 11 hours. He met with hostage families, then he spoke to their parliament, took questions, flew to Egypt, signed a peace deal, met with world leaders, took more questions, flew 11 hours back, got in at 230 in the morning, woke up, met with the President of Argentina, held a ceremony for Charlie Kirk. The next day, another press conference, more questions, a dinner with all these tech titans. And then the next day, more questions, another press conference, Two and a half hours on the phone with Vladimir Putin, and then tomorrow he has Zelensky at the White House. And they're saying this guy's mentally ill and he's tired and he's out of it. You got to be kidding me. We were saying this stuff about Biden when he was falling down, when he was looking at note cards or hiding or confusing people's names. They got nothing.
D
That is tough for the conspiracy theorist. Jessica, Trump is literally on camera about 17 times a day.
C
Yeah, well, he's not dead or tired, but he could be mentally ill, is what you're saying. Listen, I don't play that game. None of us are doctors. Also, they answered the question about, you know, when he had, like, the bruising on his hand, and there was, you know, the subsection of the Internet that was interested in what appeared to be swollen ankles, which are called cankles, I guess. But, you know, we're not going to run an election on. On the 25th Amendment. It hasn't worked before. It's going to be about kitchen table issues. And 75% of Americans say Trump's not focused on lowering the cost of goods. Grocery prices are up no matter what he says. That's what you talk about when you're running.
E
You might be able to do the 25th Amendment after he wins in 2028, because he'll be, like, 84, not F with me.
D
Emily, what do you think about Jasmine Crockett starting an investigation into Trump's failing health?
B
I mean, look, I think what I see here are there are these people are on these circuits, and they continue to be amplified. Pritzker and Jasmine Crockett. Could you. Could you imagine if we just could blatantly disseminate and call it activism and just disseminate horrific information and then hide behind. Well, I'm not a biologist or I'm not a doctor. I mean, the reality is that President Trump is amazing and his stamina rivals anyone you can name. He certainly has way more energy than I do, and I feel like that's saying a lot. And to have these. These legislators that are out there and they're saying these things at whatever conferences still give them air and oxygen, whatever podcasts are listening to them, but what are their constituents saying and doing? Because the reality is that people didn't get their paycheck yesterday. People got $1,000 less than it, and people won't next week either. And they are futzing around with a stroke. And a medical professional told me, the obsession is so distasteful when, as we are deep into this shutdown and when things actually really matter. To be calling like Kathy Griffin fascist. Didn't we learn? Haven't we learned our lesson that people died? But I guess because she just gets to lay in her bedroom with her dogs, only she doesn't understand that there's a real world accountability. Same with Jasmine for what's out there. And Pritzker just keeps eating it.
E
That's her hair. It's not a dog.
D
The Fastest is up next.
A
Check their new game day fit.
C
Are high school dances a thing of the past? A New Jersey high school canceled its homecoming dance due to low interest among students.
D
Students.
C
This is so sad to me.
B
I know. I think it's totally depressing. Here's the thing. I'm heartened by other high schools. This is just that. But if I were the faculty, I would be like, we're having it anyway, guys. Because for whatever one or two or three students wanted to come and show up, like, that means the world to them. I loved high school dances and proms, obviously. Didn't you guys?
C
Yes.
B
You were the best.
D
Yes. So the other morning when I came to work, that was the first thing Kate, my assistant, told me. She said, did you see this thing about Wall Township and the high school and they don't want to go? But I loved homecoming. And she was very sad about it as well. One of the seniors, she said, don't judge us too harshly. We just like to hang out in small groups. That's where we feel more comfortable.
C
So go to the dance and hang with your small group. Which is what Everyone does, Jesse.
A
Yeah. You gotta go through the steps. Like, you gotta get your braces off. First cigarette, first beer. Dance, teen pregnancy. These things have to happen in life.
B
He kids everyone.
E
No, he doesn't. You know, you guys probably know, like, 10 years ago, I was very active as a volunteer chaperone, designated driver. Things didn't go well. A couple of people disappeared, and so they had to dial it back. The problem with this is the reason why the dances are in decline is because there are fewer classic slow dance songs. When I was a young stallion, we had Stairway to Heaven and Free Bird and Lights by Journey. But right now, they got nothing. I mean, no one can dance to Maroon 5.
B
Everything.
D
I'm told you by Brian Adams.
B
Adams.
A
Yeah.
B
I will die for you if you want me to. Yeah, that's true. We had, like, boys to men and we had all that stuff.
A
Yeah.
E
And you pretend to dance, but you'd just be leaning against each other like this. Yeah.
A
Get a little closer.
C
I don't know what age you switch from like this and this to.
E
Was it hard for you being so tall?
A
Yeah, actually, she had to dance with the chaperone.
C
One more thing's up next. I have the best block again, by the way. Started to cry.
B
But then remember that I, I can.
D
Buy myself flower, write my name and say good news.
A
What did she tell you?
B
Before we get to one more thing, tickets to the Fox Nation Patriot Awards are on sale now. You can also buy tickets to watch the Five live on November 6th at 8pm at the Tillis center in New York. Just go to foxnation.com patriotawards all right, guys. One more thing, Dana.
D
Well, you know that our very own Greg Gutfeld does a great Brit Hume session, and Bret Baer asked him about it last night.
E
I was going to do the invitation, you said of Greg Gutfeld tonight, but I, I, I wanted to dress like him, and all my bowling shirts were in the laundry. Well, he's quite the gentleman, you know, Brett Hume and I. Quite the gentleman indeed.
D
Lovely bowling.
E
I won't say anything else.
B
It's your turn.
E
Love you.
C
Brett, it's your turn.
E
Oh, is it? Oh, no wonder. I'm just sitting here going like, why is this on me? Cat Timp, Jim Norton, Mike Baker, Tyrus Gutfeld. 10:00pm Jesse.
A
All right, we'll skip the pumpkin. We'll just do the show tonight. We have. Let me see it. So I know Kaylee McEnany, Tim Kennedy and Tommy Lahren.
D
Trifecta.
B
That's it.
