Greg Gutfeld
Foreign.
- [00:05]
Jesse Watters
Hi, I'm greg gutfeld. Along with kayleigh mcenany, harold ford jr. Jesse waters and martha mccallum. The five. Spencer Pratt could be living up to the hype as he battles for a second place finish in the LA mayor's race and move to a runoff in November against current mayor Karen Bass. Of course this is California so it may take a few weeks to count every mail in ballot but Pratt's confident he could smoke this Bass out of office.
- [00:38]
Spencer Pratt
Obviously God wanted five more months of me exposing all the failures of our mayor. So it's gonna be a fun ride. I hope she's ready.
- [00:47]
Harold Ford Jr.
Are you ready?
- [00:49]
Spencer Pratt
I mean I was born for this. Clearly people just want the truth. They don't want to get lied to. They want to know somebody's heart and all. All I do is to speak from the heart and I don't want to be a politician. I wasn't ready, you know, I didn't know I'd be the mayor. But I know what people want now. They want somebody to speak the truth for their communities and fight for them.
- [01:08]
Jesse Watters
So finally we have a runoff in LA that doesn't involve human feces. Meanwhile, his opponents are vowing to keep fighting for their God given right to run this city into the ground.
- [01:22]
Kayleigh McEnany
Discerning the city that I love were foreign. And I'm going to continue to do that all the way to victory in November. No matter what happens in this election, I'll never stop fighting for it.
- [01:34]
Jesse Watters
Sure you will. As for California's other big race, it's a three way for the Governor's mansion and Republican Steve Hilton is leading the pack. As of now, the two top two will advance to November. But Katie Porter, she won't be one of them. She conceded after a fifth place finish. Meaning some poor SAP just got a face full of scolding hot mashed potatoes. So Martha, I like I'm happ with the results because we, you know we haven't had Republicans in office for like 20 years in the governorship but the counting of votes makes me very nervous because they're just gonna, I just know there's going to suddenly they're gonna find these a big pile of votes.
- [02:19]
Greg Gutfeld
I think a lot of people feel that way. It's a question of how well the machine in California will hold up in the face of Spencer Pratt and potentially Steve Hilton as well. You know this is a very well oiled machine and the way they, they've been voting for a month already then if your ballot is postmarked by yesterday election day, you've got another seven days for it to get in. Then they'll open them. Right. So that, I mean, you're going to be at least three weeks. And then the really scary part, two scary parts. One is that every resident in California who's ever registered for vote, or even if they don't live there anymore, they get a ballot in their mailbox. So there's a million ballots that are just floating around, people's names on them, likely who don't even live there anymore. The other scary thing is that they cure the ballot. So if they open one and it says, you know, oh, it's not signed, or the date isn't checked, or this box isn't checked, they go out, reach to that. Reach out to that person and say, would you like to cure your ballot? So, I mean, all of this goes into the mix. So if he can win this thing, it's gonna be really an enormous, enormous uphill battle for him. But it says a lot that they got as far as they did yesterday. Boom.
- [03:37]
Jesse Watters
Jesse, before the show, you came to me and you said, I need to talk about Katie Porter. I'm worried about her.
- [03:43]
Martha McCallum
Potatoes.
- [03:44]
Jesse Watters
Yeah, potatoes. She's your favorite candidate.
- [03:47]
Martha McCallum
Yep. She's gone. And so's Noodles.
- [03:49]
Jesse Watters
Yes.
- [03:49]
Martha McCallum
And I feel bad when I see women cry. Not Noodles.
- [03:53]
Jesse Watters
Yeah.
- [03:54]
Martha McCallum
It's just so mean. The Democrats are sweating. This is California. Republicans are scrappy. Pratt worked hard, Hilton worked hard, and it was a quality of life election, and it should never be a quality of life election in California. It's paradise.
- [04:11]
Jesse Watters
Yes.
- [04:12]
Martha McCallum
All you have to do is protect paradise. You keep the bums out, the needles out. It's not that hard. California voters, they don't want a hero. They want a property manager. They want someone that makes sure there's water in the well, there's a fire extinguisher where it's supposed to be, and if you see someone passed out by the gate, you give them a little kick.
- [04:32]
Jesse Watters
Get out of here.
- [04:34]
Martha McCallum
What's so sad about California? It was once beautiful, and people hate seeing something that was beautiful turned ugly. It's one thing if you see a Ford Pinto graffitied, but if you see a Lamborghini graffiti, you're like, my God. And you start to cry. There's so much potential there. And Pratt sees it, Hilton sees it. And love won last night because you want to protect things you love. And so 70% around of people in LA who voted voted against Karen Bass. And Steve Hilton beat a billionaire who spent $200 million of his own fortune And a Spanish guy and the whole state Spanish. So, I mean, that's pretty good for Steve. Now, the Democrats in the media told us this was a really rough environment for Republicans. And the Democrats were really ascendant. After you look at last night, I think they've been lying to us.
- [05:33]
Jesse Watters
You know, it is amazing, Kayleigh, that there's 2 million just in the city of Los Angeles, 2 million people didn't vote. They got, I think, a total of around 300,000 votes. It's like 20%. Bass still managed to get 130,000. I would expect more people to come out angry and just vote, but I mean, even. Even when the quality of life sucks, no one cares.
- [05:57]
Kayleigh McEnany
Yeah, it's ridiculous. And that's one of the things Spencer Pratt is rolling the dice on, that in the next five months he could get people to step up who are new voters. And he very well might be able to do that. I love what I'm seeing in California. I've never been so encouraged as a Republican. And in the last year, I would say, as seeing what happened last night, we are not surrendering blue territory. We are stepping up. When you have a headline out of the L A Times, voters are sending a message to L. A. S Democratic mayor for the first time. This woman is heading to a runoff in two decades. The last time there was a runoff was 2005 for an incumbent mayor. The time before that was 1973. Voters are stepping up. They are sending a message that they don't like the status quo. You put pointed this out on your show, Jesse. Voter registrations in California. Republicans up 137,000. Democrats up 10,000. More people are registering, more voters are coming online. And imagine what this guy could do in five months, bringing voters online. Every Republican. Look at that man on your screen. He's not a Republican, he's not a Democrat. He is anti party, he's anti establishment. Take a page from his playbook. He's creative, he's smart. You know, I was asking him when I interviewed him, what's your solution to fraud? He immediately said, I want a database where every single dollar a taxpayer puts down is accounted for. So easy that even a high schooler could log on and see this dollar went to this place and that dol went to that place. It's smart, it's creative. Not only that, he's focusing on the people. When you ask him a question off politics, try to have fun with him. Talk to him about, I know the LA Dodgers, he's like, I don't care about championships. The only champion I care about is the mom and her stroller championing her walking through the streets of la. Super smart, super creative for the people. The low point though, the voters in California, the fact that this is still not resolved. Like, go take a page from Ron DeSantis. Get this figured out. Yesterday, the headline, the New York Post, 873,000 ghost voters in California. What the heck is a ghost voter? These are people who are inactive on the voter rolls. Clean up your voter rolls. Sue the state into oblivion until they comply. Get the ineligible voters off their voting rolls and to Martha's point, stop sending a ballot to every single mailbox. That makes this a ripe environment for fraud. It is wrong. We need sacrosanct elections. Fix it before the general.
- [08:08]
Jesse Watters
All right, Harold. Resident.
- [08:10]
Harold Ford Jr.
So congratulations. Well, I'm a resident American who happens to be a Democrat. I congratulate on the show the last several days that he's done something that used to be done in politics. He was upset about something happening in his own community, decided he would put his name on the ballot. People said, those of us who think we know politics and those of us who yell about it and commentate about it say, a Republican can't do this, a Democrat can't do this, this area. A Republican can't win or have any sway in Los Angeles. And he went right to the people and explained to them that he was running because of the, the homelessness issue, public safety issues, and that he loved this community and voters rewarded him in the last 24 hours by putting him in a runoff. Now, if I were him and I tried to. Tried to say this, I think he ought to be even more specific. I think he ought to talk about the people he would surround himself with. I do think it's a legitimate knock to say that he's not served in public office or not managed things. If I were him, I'd say that's an advantage for me in some ways. But here are the people I'm going to bring with me, Democrat, Republican alike, to help me manage this city and to make la, make every community in LA safe again. If I'm Karen Vass, I would not say, stick with me to the November and let's just keep doing this. That's what Kamala Harris did when she was asked by the people on the View, what would you do differently than Joe Biden? And she said, I can't think of anything clearly. People in Los Angeles want something different. I develop a plan to say, look, we were wrong on certain things here's what we're going to do to make it right. The voters would win if both candidates focused not on Trump or not on Biden or not on Democrats or not on Republicans, but on what it is, what it is they want to do to make the city safer, cleaner, more profitable, more investable, and for that matter, make it where we all want to come back out there and visit. If they do that, whichever one of them wins, the most important thing is that the voters will win.
- [09:57]
Jesse Watters
But. Yeah, but the key thing is why not focus on what you haven't done? You haven't had a Republican in 20 years and you got high taxes, the highest gas prices ever, incredibly high property crime, insane budget increases. You got 22% of the population that is not even born in America, very little assimilation. People are fleeing. I mean, maybe, why not take a choice on something different? You know, stop drinking Diet Coke. Try Coke Zero, taste the same. All right, up next, President Trump tells us who is worst, telefrico or a Nazi shucker.

Martha McCallum
President Trump telling us who's worse, the nipple or the frico?
- [11:29]
Greg Gutfeld
Graham Platner in Maine is one example.
- [11:31]
Unknown Guest (possibly a political commentator)
That terrible Senate candidate, well, he's a major sleazebag. I think Talarico is worse. You want to know the two of them? I think Talarico is probably worse.
- [11:41]
Jesse Watters
Thank you.
- [11:42]
Unknown Guest (possibly a political commentator)
Rico is better than Jasmine Crockett. No relation to David Crockett. Well, Talarico is horrible with the six genders with the mask. A couple of months wearing a mask, vegan in Texas doesn't work. It's heavy vegan. God, it's two genders. Now he's going, no, no, let's have a barbecue.
- [12:03]
Martha McCallum
And now Tofu Tallarigo is getting tips on male bonding, courtesy of the Atlantic, who wrote an article, quote, democrats must learn to talk sports. Talarico doesn't need to run away from his meatless taco order. Perhaps he could compare Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys imperious owner, to Trump, an egotistical old man destroying a once proud institution. Harold, is this what Tofu needs to talk sports?
- [12:31]
Harold Ford Jr.
No, I think he needs to keep talking about the things that I think are in the minds of everyday voters from the way they're living the concerns they have about their lives, the concerns they have about their kids, what we're going to do to improve education, lower prices, make the community. Indeed, some of the things being talked about in Los Angeles are going to be talked about there. I think when you. I liken Talarico in some ways to Pratt in one regard in that Talarico, you wouldn't think he'd be leading in the early polls against a Republican with all the things they're talking about with the guy. And I don't understand why you're talking about the guy for being healthy. I mean, if you want to eat vegetables, that's fine. It just leaves more beef for you and I. It leaves more ribs for us, But I don't quite get that one. But he's an interesting candidate, and he is. He might be running at a time in which the state of Texas, which is going through a lot right now, and they have a candidate who I don't think is as polished. People talk about Platinum. I think Paxton has some imperfections as well.
- [13:28]
Jesse Watters
Not a Nazi.
- [13:28]
Harold Ford Jr.
Well, he'll have to answer for some of the fraud and some of the impeachment and some of the other things. But look, that's for voters there to wrestle with. And if you can get through the gymnastics to get you to land to support Paxton, I don't have to.
- [13:39]
Jesse Watters
I could just say, you guys are supporting a Nazi, right?
- [13:43]
Harold Ford Jr.
But if you. Your face Paxton, Paxton, a lot of things. He let off a guy that assaulted a little boy.
- [13:50]
Jesse Watters
But you never go in depth into that because, you know, I'm sorry, how
- [13:53]
Harold Ford Jr.
much more depth do you have to go into when you say, wait a
- [13:55]
Jesse Watters
minute, how much time do we have?
- [13:56]
Harold Ford Jr.
We got plenty of time in November. The gymnastics to get to Paxton and the gymnastics you have to do to get to Platner. I wouldn't vote for platinum.
- [14:02]
Martha McCallum
No one is voting. The other is like pretzel.
- [14:05]
Harold Ford Jr.
Here we are.
- [14:06]
Martha McCallum
Come on.
- [14:06]
Harold Ford Jr.
Here we are.
- [14:07]
Martha McCallum
No one has a Nazi.
- [14:08]
Jesse Watters
You're doing a what about ism, Harold, and it's beneath you.
- [14:11]
Harold Ford Jr.
What about guys, I give.
- [14:12]
Kayleigh McEnany
What about.
- [14:13]
Harold Ford Jr.
I let it. I don't mind at all when you say, look, everybody knows who President Trump is. When he. When he hurls invective at people, you say, well, that's just who he is. That may be true. I mean, there are good things that he does in your mind. Voters will have an opportunity in Texas to decide if him being a vegan is that big of a problem, who has the best plan to lower gas prices to make food more affordable, to make clothing more affordable, to ensure that we get out of this war in Iran. That's what the voters in Texas, in Maine, and for that matter all across this nation are going to be concerned about. And who matters, Whoever has the best plan for that, I believe will win.
- [14:44]
Martha McCallum
They can talk about that in Texas. But we're on TV and we want to talk about tofu. He says it's not a part of a well balanced diet.
- [14:51]
Harold Ford Jr.
I did say it's part of a well balanced diet.
- [14:52]
Martha McCallum
I think he should be eating meat. And the fact that he doesn't is suspicious.
- [14:56]
Kayleigh McEnany
Yeah, I know. You've seen the beautiful picture of Talarico sinking his teeth into a turkey leg. You know, it does scream someone who eats meat. Not at all. I don't disagree that obviously cost of living and gas prices, very important nationwide. But there's something else that's very important in the state of Texas. When you have 62% of the state identifying as Christian and you have this guy, I call him a false prophet. And I know that sounds harsh, but the things he says are just blatantly mistruths. When he says that the Bible is silent on abortion, I can tell you this, a big chunk of the 60% of Christians in Texas know that is an abject lie. They know that the Bible talks about being formed in the womb, the father knowing you before you are born, that you are knitted together in your mother's stomach and your mother's womb. There are so many pieces of scripture I could fill the next 10 minutes with. I won't. Then he goes on and he talks about America not being a Christian nation. False. There's a one minute and a half, three minute clip, I should say, of Charlie Kirk. It is epic. And he breaks down how nine of the 13 original states required you to be a Bible believing Christian. The original states of the United States. And he goes on to list 13 of 13 required a declaration of faith. Several of them said, I profess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. You are lying to say this is not a Christian nation. You are lying to say that God is several genders. You are lying to say Christianity is not a religion of exclusivity. So say what you will, but President Trump is very spot on to say the greatest danger I believe when I look across the Democratic Party is not Graham Platner who has moral indiscretions. There are some people on the Republican side who have moral indiscretions too. It is someone who lies about scripture and that is what this man is doing.
- [16:30]
Harold Ford Jr.
But the Constitution never mentions the Bible.
- [16:33]
Kayleigh McEnany
Go read the original 13 colonies and their constitutions. Nine of the 13 required you to be a Bible believing Christian.
- [16:40]
Harold Ford Jr.
The document we're celebrating today form is
- [16:42]
Kayleigh McEnany
the Declaration of Independence of God.
- [16:43]
Harold Ford Jr.
No, no, okay, The Constitution. I'm a Christian, believe me. But it doesn't mention.
- [16:48]
Jesse Watters
Let me see the tattoo, Greg. Well, I want to talk about the sports thing because, you know, it was. It's so phony and it's so pathetic. It's like I had a buddy of mine, he texts me, he goes, wow, New York City must be going crazy. I have no idea what he's talking about. And apparently it's about this. This team called the Knicks. Yeah, the Knicks basketball. Okay, these are. These are tall gentlemen who throw a ball around. Whoop dee doo. There's a lot of things going on in New York. I don't know what it is, but I'm sitting there going, I gotta text him back about this. And I just. And I'm trying to come up with something, some kind of vague affirmation that I know what he's talking about. But instead I just wrote, I do not know what you're talking about because I can't fake it because I'm a real person. The fact that you need to be prompted to talk about sports already tells you how artificial these people are. They're saying, hey, Talarico, to get men to vote Democrat, let's pretend we're interested in what they're interested in. And well, we're so dumb. It's like, duh, me like sport throw ball. Me vote for gay elf. You know, this is if this works. And maybe Republicans, we should like entice liberal women by talking about Matcha and Love Island. But we're not gonna do that. We're gonna talk about the real stuff. Kids, education. We're not going to try to appease to you. You got to be honest. And your men, sorry Harold. Are less into sports than they are into politics. Accept it. Why rely on deception? And the reason why your party relies on deception is because they feel like they have to please every group instead of individuals. Hence, you have the drag queen story hour to please the gays. You got special days and murals and months to appease anybody might be aggrieved. Why not instead just look at people as individuals and be honest with them. And then you don't have to keep track of all the crap you make up if tofu.
- [18:47]
Harold Ford Jr.
Who's the starting center for the San Antonio Spurs?
- [18:49]
Jesse Watters
Mr. Sports Guy, Jerry Thompson.
- [18:54]
Martha McCallum
But he should go to the game. If he's into basketball, he should go to the game. He should go.
- [18:59]
Harold Ford Jr.
He might be there.
- [19:00]
Jesse Watters
You never know.
- [19:00]
Martha McCallum
He might not, but he might. And if he's not there tonight in San Antonio, he's an idiot.
- [19:05]
Harold Ford Jr.
When Benyama.
- [19:06]
Greg Gutfeld
Well, I think this is why Spencer Pratt is breaking through, because he just comes across as a real guy and he's authentic. And once you know, this is why this is gonna be one of the most expensive Senate races in history in Texas, because these consultants are gonna get paid millions of dollars to say to him, okay, here's your quiz on sports. Do you know the starting lineup of the San Antonio Spurs? And he's gonna wear the silly T shirt that he would never wear with the flag on it and eat the chicken leg that he would never wear. I just also wanna point out one thing about Graham Platner story come through about what he told the senators. He said the worst of the rumors we have all heard are not true. The worst. The worst of the rumors you've heard are not true. So that's. He's like, I've had a messy, complicated life, but, you know, there's no way they're gonna dump this guy. I mean, who else are they gonna get? There's no way they're gonna dump this guy.
- [19:59]
Martha McCallum
All right. He's staying in it because Martha said it. We have a Fox News alert. The House just passed the Iran War Powers Resolution that would halt U.S. action against Iran. Four Republicans join with Democrats to pass the resolution. It now goes up over to the Senate. If it gets to the President's desk, he's expected to veto it. Coming up next, TDS at cbs. Scott Pelley just took a torpedo to his career. Rolling Stone. Maybe you can miss me when I'm gone and I don't know if you.
- [20:45]
Kayleigh McEnany
All right. Longtime anchor Scott Pelly getting fired by CBS News one day after his explosive meeting with new 60 Minutes executive producer Nick Bilton, where Pelly hurled insults and accused CBS News boss Barry Weiss of, quote, murdering 60 minutes. She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it and she's doing exactly that. Well, as you can imagine, being insubordinate, accusing your boss of murdering the network gets you fired. And editor in chief Bari Weiss saying Peli broke the newsroom's trust and chose his own path. But of course, the liberal media and left wing influencers are venting about their latest media martyr.
- [21:24]
Martha McCallum
I made a crack there. Talking about the Scott Pelney News as being sort of Hungarian oligarchic style takeover in the media. And I mean that sort of as a joke, but also sort of deadly serious. This is like an underwater earthquake at CBS News.
- [21:37]
Spencer Pratt
It'd be like Scott Pelley.
- [21:38]
Martha McCallum
They're burning it all down because they want to please Donald Trump, boycott every
- [21:45]
Greg Gutfeld
thing on CBS News. These people are the biggest bunch of.
- [21:52]
Jesse Watters
Greg I love Slow Zoom Zoolander. He's got such a fake voice. He's as stiff as a starched corpse. He makes Joe Biden look like Simone Biles. He has these hall of Fame movements. He, he takes himself more seriously than anybody on the planet ever would. Every time he speaks, it's though it's of some kind of historical urgency. He's just a drama queen. Why are these guys, whether it's like Terry Moran or Acosta Harwood, such self serious weasels. And this guy throws a tantrum in a public view, then he leaks it to everyone to amplify his like appearance as some kind of hero. He just looks like a cartoon because he is a cartoon. 60 Minutes doesn't exist as some lone bright beacon in the wilderness. A 22,24 year old guy named Nick Shirley ran 100 laps around 60 minutes on a story that they like many big stories, missed. If you look at people like Nick Shirley and Chris Rufo, Bill Melugians, border coverage, Shellenberger on homelessness, it reveals how far 60 Minutes has fallen. They've not done any real investigative pieces and all the mistakes they made. You remember Leslie Stahl talking about the laptop, denying that it was real, or Peli himself blaming Biden's infirmity on a stutter. These guys are idiots. Goodbye.
- [23:26]
Kayleigh McEnany
Yeah, a lot of people would argue, Jesse, that 60 Minutes murdered itself. I mean, you had Scott Pelley bringing on Mark Elias as if he were some neutral lawyer or victim of Russian collusion.
- [23:37]
Martha McCallum
Yeah, he slobbered all over McCabe. They had some moms on and he said, what's a little child porn in the library? Never hurt anybody. The guy has massive tds and he's pompous and there's a lot of pompous people on television. But this guy, he's more than even. Greg, if your boss is new and comes in and wants to shake things up and you have new ownership, do you secretly tape the boss and then leak it?
- [24:05]
Harold Ford Jr.
No.
- [24:06]
Martha McCallum
I mean, he was asking to get axed. And this is the second time he got axed from the anchor chair of the CBS Evening News. He got axed again. He's been there for 37 years he wanted to go and it was his time to go. With that said, this place is a juggernaut. They did 11 million an episode last year. They make 3 to 4 billion CBS News they throw off each year. It's a really well oiled machine. But they're bloated, they're woke, and they're stuck in the past. And if they want to reinvent themselves, they have to do a little bit more than bring Barry Weissen. They got a clean house. Change the culture. Because if you don't change with it, you're dead.
- [24:50]
Kayleigh McEnany
Yeah, I saw some headline, you know, 60 Minutes could lose its entire staff. And I thought to myself, Martha, that may be a good thing.
- [24:56]
Greg Gutfeld
I'm pretty sure that's where it's going.
- [24:57]
Martha McCallum
I think that's what 500 people working for that show.
- [25:00]
Greg Gutfeld
It's unbelievable. I mean, we all know the kind of staff that we have per show and we're lean, mean, we get it done very well and we have great ratings. But yeah, can you imagine having 500 people working? I have no idea what they, what they would all be doing. And it's once a week. Once a week. But they're, you know, spending a lot of money going out and shooting these elaborate pieces that take three months, four months for them to put together. And those things used to be meaningful. When I was a kid, we used to sit down and watch 60 Minutes on Sunday night because it was interesting and the stories were great and it was substantive. And the last several times I came by it and turned it on, I was like, ugh. You know, about 30 seconds in, you're like, no, I really don't feel like wasting my time with this. Scott Pelley is so pompous. And, you know, you are too, Jesse.
- [25:50]
Harold Ford Jr.
No, I'm not.
- [25:51]
Martha McCallum
I'm not like him.
- [25:52]
Greg Gutfeld
I'm about to give you a thank you. You have a sense of humor about yourself.
- [25:56]
Martha McCallum
Yes, I do.
- [25:57]
Greg Gutfeld
You can laugh at yourself. This man has never laughed at himself in a million in his entire life. I mean, he looks like he would pop if someone, you know.
- [26:05]
Jesse Watters
Could you imagine having a real conversation with him? No, I don't think it's possible.
- [26:10]
Martha McCallum
Please pass the asparagus urgently.
- [26:13]
Harold Ford Jr.
Studied.
- [26:13]

And everything's so important. And every little word that comes out of his mouth is like a drop of wisd. And it's just, you know, I think he knew he was going to get fired so he blew up the meeting because he wanted to go out with a bang. But I think that this, you know, that the return letter from the new executive producer was quite powerful. It's like, look, I don't know who you think you are, but that doesn't work here. So this is your termination.
- [26:36]
Kayleigh McEnany
Yep. And I thought he should have been fired after he gave what the New York Post says was an angry, unhinged commencement speech criticizing Trump. You're a serious journalist and you're out there giving speeches criticizing the president.
- [26:47]
Harold Ford Jr.
Ask any.
- [26:47]
Kayleigh McEnany
Yeah.
- [26:48]
Harold Ford Jr.
So real quickly, Martha, we have two words for Jesse. Brilliantly simple. You're exactly right. I'd say a couple things. Two things can be right. I thought that you can't go in the office of your bosses, wherever you may work, and tell them that they're unfit to be your boss, that they are incapable and that they're not intelligent. That's generally a prescription to be let go. At the same time, I think some of the things he was trying to say about what he thinks is the show, and I agree with Martha, the characterization of it, and I still do. I mean, on Sundays, I watch football from noon till 7 or 7:30, maybe the 4 o' clock game goes off. Then I switch to 60 minutes. And then I switch to another network, the 8 o' clock game network, which is a rival network of hours to watch the 8 o' clock game. And I find it not only interesting, I watch it because I think the audience there is politically diverse. It's broad, it's wide, and they generally deal with several topics. The last few years, they've dealt with some things that, that might have leaned one way too much, but generally they talk about things, whether it's medical or science or political or historical, that I find something, I learned something.
- [27:53]
Jesse Watters
So you watched 60 Minutes after watching seven hours of football. You are so wasted, you have no
- [27:59]
Harold Ford Jr.
idea what you're watching. Every Sunday before I watched the 8 o' clock game, I may have had a beer. I certainly watch and I tell you, I try to make my kids do it, do it as well. I saw one of the great episodes on the Red Hot Chili Peppers one time that was.
- [28:15]
Jesse Watters
Was that hard? That was a hard hitting.
- [28:18]
Harold Ford Jr.
They may do the best.
- [28:20]
Jesse Watters
They may do the best. I know that Lee doesn't wear a
- [28:23]
Harold Ford Jr.
shirt, but Scott Pelley, but I'll tell you, it was a deeper interview than that. Scott Pelley, I don't know him. And some of the things been said around the table, maybe the show does need a refresh to make it relevant and make it more interesting. But I hope they don't gut it because this is one of the special shows. One of the special news shows ever created on TV.
- [28:40]
Kayleigh McEnany
I hope they do gut it. I hope 60 minutes becomes zero minutes and you'll get a much better education watching Life, Liberty and Levin, which I watch on Sundays. Hi, Mark. Coming up, Star wars goes woke and broke.
- [28:52]
Jesse Watters
Beautiful, Crazy. She can't handle amazing fire.
- [29:03]
Martha McCallum
I don't even know you taking me away from.
- [29:08]
Greg Gutfeld
May the woke be with you. The creator of the streaming Star wars series called Andor Tony Gilroy using his Peabody Award acceptance book to attack the Trump administration as treasonous. Quote, we spent six years contemplating a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away. Please do not stop. Please do not turn out the lights until we can kill this nightmare. And f the Empire. This comes after the latest Star wars movie, major, flopped at the box office. And get this, it got beaten by two films that were directed by young creators who got their start on YouTube. That is backrooms, I believe. And the other one is Obsession that is doing incredibly well. So, Kaylee, you know, what do you think about this director sort of mouthing off about how righteous his filmmaking is when it's completely not resonating with viewers?
- [30:03]
Kayleigh McEnany
Not resonating at all. I think directors, actors, producers need to look at the past and in the future, not get into politics. Like, if you want to do so at your own peril. I know he did this after his movie flopped, but it reminded me of Rachel Ziggler when, before Snow White came out, she came off and put out these tweets about Trump and got involved in the Gaza war and totally tanked the film. And the whole film was just seen as woke. I actually went and saw the film. It was not woke. It was fabulous. But one actor came out and doomed an enterprise where hundreds of millions of dollars were pumped in. Tons of people working on the set. At least this guy did it after. But how does this bode for your future films? People know what you've said. People have opin. Unfortunately, they will boycott your film. I'm not advising that, suggesting that. But we've seen how this goes, so why do this?
- [30:49]
Harold Ford Jr.
Did you say Dirk? Who did it say Dirk Diggler? Rachel.
- [30:51]
Kayleigh McEnany
Rachel Zeitgeler. I know what you.
- [30:52]
Harold Ford Jr.
I'm thinking. I'm thinking the movie Boogie Nights. I was like, what are you talking about?
- [30:55]
Kayleigh McEnany
You know what? I watch kids movies.
- [30:56]
Martha McCallum
Thinking about Harold Boogie Nights on the Mountains.
- [30:58]
Harold Ford Jr.
I was like, did you say Dirk Diggler? I'm sorry.
- [31:00]
Martha McCallum
There you go.
- [31:01]
Greg Gutfeld
So, Jesse, you know, they just keep making Star wars movies. Sometimes I feel like you just have to Let it be like the original Star wars movie. Fantastic, huge following franchise, you know, multiplying exponentially. And they just keep trying to, trying to find another way to spin it.
- [31:18]
Martha McCallum
They were watching Empire Strikes Back with the little ones and there's this awesome scene when I think it was Luke escapes from the Abominable Snowman. And then Hans goes out to find him and he finds him and he's got frostbite. And they kill this wildebeest, I don't know, and they cut its stomach open with its lifesaver and then they pull out all of the intestines which are really warm, and then they hide inside this wildebeest's warm stomach in sub freezing temperatures. It is the most disgusting, awesome scene. I probably shouldn't be watching it with the children, but like, that's what they should go back to.
- [32:00]
Jesse Watters
Now.
- [32:00]
Martha McCallum
He called Trump fascist. Now, if Trump was a fascist, he's not doing a very good job. We haven't invaded a single neighbor, Canada. We haven't suspended an election because we're winning them.
- [32:13]
Jesse Watters
Harold,
- [32:15]
Harold Ford Jr.
what do you did you won in 24?
- [32:18]
Martha McCallum
Okay, I'm just saying, like we could have a little more fascism if that was needed.
- [32:23]
Harold Ford Jr.
That's your clip, Harold.
- [32:25]
Greg Gutfeld
Do we need directors to warn us about fascism in our country?
- [32:29]
Harold Ford Jr.
Look, he maxed out on his first amendment rights there at the Peabody Awards and he's got a theory of the case that some differ with. And you know, I think the President gives as good as he takes. And look, as I remember when president, when Mayor Mondame won here as mayor less than a week or 10 days after the election, he was at the White House standing next to the President. They were talking about things they wanted to do for New York. And some reporter askedami last week you called President Trump a fascist. Do you believe that? And President Trump said, you don't have to answer that. I've been called worse. So look, the President will get over this.
- [33:01]
Greg Gutfeld
Off the hook, Greg.
- [33:02]
Jesse Watters
You know, imagine if there was this iconic series of westerns and suddenly they decided, for now, I'm going to do all the plot indoors. Horses, no fighting, Comanches, that Star Wars. There's no stars, there's no wars. That's what killed it. When the director compares Trump to a fascist takeover or a nightmare empire, it's a really good lesson for you kids out there. What do you notice about that assumption? One, it's easy. And two, it's obviously not real. Those two things go together. It is very easy to adopt an illusion than it is to Explain reality. If you look at. I wrote some things that you always hear from lefties. Pay your fair share. Gender is fluid. No. Human is illegal. Trump is a fascist. Diversity is our strength. My body, my choice. These are all things that you could just easily adopt until. Until economics or science or plain old experience arrives to refute that. So whenever you hear something like that, you go, I know it's not real because it's easy.
- [34:09]
Martha McCallum
No more slogans. Ford.
- [34:11]
Jesse Watters
Yeah. Yeah.
- [34:12]
Harold Ford Jr.
Go New York.
- [34:13]
Martha McCallum
Go, New York, go.
- [34:15]
Greg Gutfeld
Fastest is next. We'll be right back.
- [34:19]
Harold Ford Jr.
If I was in la,
- [34:22]
Jesse Watters
California, dreaming.
- [34:36]
Harold Ford Jr.
Hello. How players. Welcome back. Ever wish your life had taken a different path? A new survey finds that 52% of professionals have some regret about their college degree, citing their financial finances and limited career payoff. Kaylee, is this. Does this resemble anything like, do you resist regret or.
- [34:53]
Kayleigh McEnany
I don't. I'm actually very thankful for both my advanced degree and my undergraduate degree. It got me to where I'm at. You don't have to go to college to have a great career. See Rush Limbaugh, he didn't go to college. He did. Fantastic. However, I wonder how many of those who regret their college degree would be in the jobs they're in without their college degree. Maybe it's a lot of them. Maybe it's a few.
- [35:12]
Harold Ford Jr.
Jesse, your thoughts about this?
- [35:14]
Martha McCallum
I'm proud of my bachelor's and all
- [35:18]
Greg Gutfeld
your multiple other degrees.
- [35:19]
Martha McCallum
I don't have multiple other degrees or mba. That was a fake degree, Harold. I did that with a bet with Tyrus, who was from the University of Phoenix.
- [35:30]
Harold Ford Jr.
Martha, your thoughts about this? You have young kids who are out of school now.
- [35:34]
Greg Gutfeld
I mean, I don't think college is for everyone. You know, I think that a lot of people have college degrees that are worthless. And I think that people should make a very conscious decision about whether or not to go to college and whether or not it serves the career path that they want. You know, rather than spending four years and tons of money on something that won't necessarily give them a great income and a great way to provide for their families, necessarily, depending on which way they want to go.

Martha McCallum
Many people do.

Harold Ford Jr.
What did Berkeley do for you?
- [36:08]
Jesse Watters
You know, I don't remember a single thing that I learned from Berkeley. I only chose to go to Berkeley because of the record store.
- [36:14]
Martha McCallum
They had.
- [36:15]
Jesse Watters
Rasputin Records, Aquarius Records, Tower Records on University and Durant Avenue. That's why I went. I have no memory of anything from my four years in class.
- [36:27]
Harold Ford Jr.
Your honor, Your Honor, I love my time at Penn. Some of my best friends in the world. Some of my best friends today are Penn graduates, Penn guys. And then my Michigan experience at law school was equally powerful. It may not be for everybody, but I tell you, if you do go for four years, the relationships, the friendships, the classes, all kind of together.
- [36:46]
Kayleigh McEnany
What do you do with it, too?
- [36:47]
Harold Ford Jr.
Exactly.
- [36:47]
Kayleigh McEnany
If you intern, it helps.
- [36:49]
Harold Ford Jr.
One More Thing is up next.
- [37:05]
Jesse Watters
All right, one more Thing. I get to go first tonight. We got a great show. Kat Tip, Shawn Davis, Michael Loftus Kennedy. That's tonight. And go to G gutfeld.com. there are still tickets for my Saturday show in Frisco, Texas. Sunday in Charlotte, North Carolina. Hey, let's do this. Greg. Sexy Bear news. Roll it, Sven. Yeah, look at that, huh? Bears actually kiss, Harold, in case you didn't know. They'll advance head on, locking eyes while flaring their nostrils to catch early scent markers. Is this romantic, Marcus? Martha, I've always thought about watching something like this with you. They press and rub their snouts together, stimulating facial nerve endings to build arousal. And they exchange saliva, Jesse. Which is what you often do with the homeless. Deep tongue licking, tasting their hormones fit with the bums.
- [38:02]
Martha McCallum
You got me, Greg.
- [38:03]
Jesse Watters
You're next, Jesse.
- [38:03]
Martha McCallum
Okay. Let's go around the world, everybody.
- [38:06]
Jesse Watters
Sure, why not?
- [38:07]
Martha McCallum
South America, Southeast Asia. Wrong. Lithuania. This is the annual Pink Soup festival. Lithuanian pink soup, Sholtavarshi. Made from beetroot and fermented kefir. Is it kefir?
- [38:21]
Jesse Watters
Kefir Keffer.
- [38:23]
Kayleigh McEnany
Never heard of that.
- [38:24]
Martha McCallum
You don't even know what you're talking about. For Sutherland. Right. And boiled eggs. Herbs. Herbs.
- [38:30]
Jesse Watters
Oh, my God. Herbal herbs and milk.
- [38:34]
Martha McCallum
You don't know what. What are you Lithuanian? No, but I Ashkenazi.
- [38:37]
Greg Gutfeld
I have.
- [38:40]
Martha McCallum
Diet disgusts me. Tonight, Jesse Waters primetime, we have Dana Lash, Benny Johnson, Chuck Devore and Kat Tymp. We poached her.
- [38:49]
Jesse Watters
Harold.
- [38:50]
Harold Ford Jr.
I'm just. That was Mark Wahlberg as Dirk Diglis. But I don't know.
- [38:53]
Jesse Watters
What is your problem?
- [38:55]
Harold Ford Jr.
Once she said. I thought she said, dylan, I got me going. But Pope Leo got behind the wheel of the world's first electric Ferrari in Italy.
- [39:03]
Jesse Watters
What?
- [39:03]
Harold Ford Jr.
He was given a steering wheel of the car as a gift from the brand and even got to take it for a little spin. I love the Pope. Go, New York. Go, New York. Go, New York. Go tonight.
- [39:13]
Jesse Watters
That is really. Martha, what's up with the Pope?
- [39:16]
Martha McCallum
Not an electric mother, Martha.
- [39:18]
Greg Gutfeld
He's a tennis player. That's a whole nother segment. So an emu walks into A bar? No, an emu walks down the highway. Look at this guy. There was a book I used to like to read my kids called Edward the Emu. And Edward the Emu was sick of the zoo. There was nowhere to go. There was nothing to do. And I think this might be Edward the Emu who has gotten away.
- [39:37]
Kayleigh McEnany
Kayleigh, I love that you just recited that by heart.
- [39:41]
Jesse Watters
The kids book can't spell emu without me.
- [39:44]
Kayleigh McEnany
I'll have to check that out for my kids. All right, so there is a boat that looks exactly like an ice cream truck. And it's turning heads in Florida. Look at this. It's on Sarasota Bay. It's delighting boaters, drawing. Plenty of double takes. And they sell packaged ice cream, cold drinks and snacks directly to the people. I have done water skis right around there. Jet skis. I've yet to see this boat, but I'm looking forward to it.
- [40:06]
Jesse Watters
You think it's running drugs, Kaylee?
- [40:09]
Kayleigh McEnany
No, I don't. We're not living in the Biden era anymore. Trump has cleaned all that up. So it's ice cream for sure.
- [40:14]
Jesse Watters
That's good to know. Well, that was a really fun show. I'm really glad I was here.
- [40:19]
Kayleigh McEnany
Do you ever end with 15 seconds?
- [40:20]
Harold Ford Jr.
Wimby is the center for San Antonio if anybody else.
- [40:23]
Jesse Watters
Do you have any Dirk Diggler facts, Harold?
- [40:26]
Harold Ford Jr.
I couldn't remember who played the actor. No?
- [40:28]
Jesse Watters
Great.
