Hello, everyone. I'm dana perino along with emily campagno, harold ford jr. Jesse watters and tyrus. It's five o' clock in new york city, and this is the five. So the cease fire, it's teetering on the edge. As Iran and Israel exchanged a fresh wave of rocket attacks last night. President Trump stepping in to stop further escalation, demanding both sides immediately stop shooting. And for now, both sides are holding their fire. The President also answering some tough questions on why he chose to take military action in Iran.
- [00:40]
B
One of your consistent campaign promises was
- [00:44]
A
no new wars going all the way back to 2015. Did you break that promise to the American people?
- [00:51]
C
I had to stop a country, very powerful, very dangerous country, from having a nuclear weapon because they'd use it. They blow up the world. They blow up the Middle east. They blow up Israel. They come here, they'd blow up Europe. They're nuts. And I'm doing the world a service, but I'm doing our country a service. It's America first. I'm doing our country a service. Nice rain.
- [01:15]
A
It is raining hard.
- [01:16]
C
I didn't promise anything. I don't like these endless wars. This is not an endless war.
- [01:22]
A
And Vice President Jay Devance telling Jesse that Iran may be ready to come to the table.
- [01:28]
D
I don't assume that anybody's acting in good faith. Obviously, we've been very involved in these negotiations, Jesse. We're going to take the attitude of accomplish the President's mission, but verify over the long term that the Iranians are keeping their end of the bargain. It's a tall order, but it's one that the President has put us in a good position to achieve. Because let's be honest, Jesse, the Iranians don't want this war to continue. It's not in their best interest. And I think they're coming to the table. But putting some real things on the table. We're of course going to verify it, but if we get to this deal, it's going to be a home run, one for the American people.
- [02:02]
A
All right, Jesse, any more to add that that interview airs tonight on your show.
- [02:07]
E
Yes, well, the relationship with Israel is getting a little spicy. The President told Netanyahu, what the f are you doing? You're effing crazy. You'd be in jail if it wasn't for me. And that's why everybody in the United States hates you right now. The polls have shown that support for Israel has dropped about 20%. That's mostly with Democrats and young American. I can see what Netanyahu is doing. He's trying to lock in these gains in Lebanon right before a peace deal. He doesn't see that proxy war as part of epic fury. The Iranians do. So they were exchanging ballistic missiles. Netanyahu's population wants him to go hard. The US Population wants the dust and wants a deal. Militarily, Israel's been an absolutely amazing ally. Strategically, we don't always see eye to eye. Party to the peace talks. So we keep catching them spying on us. They've been eavesdropping on Witkoff. They've been putting listening devices into phones from defense officials in Israel. I get it. They want to find out what's going on. They want an edge. They're looking for their own national interests. I think the only country that spies aggressively is Israel on us, South Korea. But we spy on them and we do a better job anyway. The Mullis, the gay ayatollah, it's wicked because they're in caves. Part 2. A guy on Camelback brings him a handwritten letter. It's just like, my God, you get a sense that Trump might need to give him another love tap just to kind of shake things loose.
- [03:48]
A
And Harold, the Pakistan, of course, because Wyckoff is talking to the Pakistanis to try to help with the peace deal. So, I mean, that kind of collection can happen. And this is happening while FISA is basically null and void at the moment.
- [04:03]
F
First of all, I'm happy that you're back.
- [04:04]
B
Thank you.
- [04:05]
A
And glad to be back around the table.
- [04:07]
F
Remain in our prayers.
- [04:08]
C
Thank you.
- [04:09]
F
I listened to the vice president. I look forward to seeing the interview tonight. I may watch it after your show tonight with the vice president for the game. Basketball game is on tonight. No one ever gets into a war, Mr. Vice President, hoping they get into an endless war. People get into wars believing it will be quick and decisive or decisive and it might be some sort of timeline that does not exhaust the people that are supporting them. I know. I think the vice president knows that. I think our tolerance and appetite for war as a country is lower than it has been over the many years because of the exhaustion over the last 20 years, 25 years, 26 years being at war. In many ways, I think the president is onto something when he says that. I want to figure out a way to end this. But we could not allow this group of people to get a nuclear weapon. Imagine if they had a weapon. I've heard Tyrus, I think, say this on Gutfeld before that, you know, if we could have gone back in time and figured out a way to prevent the North Koreans from getting a nuclear weapon, would we have done it? I think the answer would. The smart answer would be yes. And if you can stop them from developing a nuclear weapon, the Iranians, you eliminate a threat for our kids and grandkids and for that matter, all of us today. I think the president's challenge right now is that he talks too much. I think when you constantly tell people you're in negotiation that they are one day away, two days away, three days away, that they're desperate for a deal, I think the President has to understand that he has incredible credibility with not only his supporters, but with the American people, as most presidents often do. And when you unify the country around a message of this thing is going to end quickly because they need for it to end, they are in pain. We have eliminated much of their. A lot of their ability to enact military pain. And then we see them deliver ballistic missiles, we see them fire on our adversary, or I should say, our allies in the region. It calls into question a lot of things when, in fact, the President is right. He was right to call on both sides to stop. He's right to call on efforts that we have to have the backbone and the fortitude to prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon. But, Mr. President, you can't tell us that and at the same time keep leading us to believe that we're inches away from a deal when we want to be, but perhaps we're not. So that would be my advice to my president this evening.
- [06:28]
A
Tyrus, your name was mentioned. I feel like Iran is stress testing just how much they can get away with.
- [06:33]
G
Well, I think. I think Iran is. They're counting us to be like the America they've had dealt with decades. They're looking at how Afghanistan. Well, maybe when America leaves, they'll leave us tanks and helicopters, too. We just have to wait this out. I think a lot of in America, it's easy for us to say, oh, this, what's going on over there? But the people who live in Israel, this is their front yard in their backyard. And they see it's hard to hold it against them and their government against them, like, they can finally end this. Iran's best friend in this whole situation is President Trump because he's the only one consistently saying, hey, we're going to come to the table and Iran shoots at a ship. Okay, cool, we'll just blow up the guys who did it. But we're still willing to be at the table. If President Trump said You know what, Israel and a lot of the Kuwait's and a lot of the places that Iran fired at. And he said, you know what, you guys handle it. There would be no more Iran. It would be completely. Iran's best friend in this situation is the United States because they're the only one who can say to Israel right now, say, hey, stop firing. And that's a lot to ask a country after. Forget just October 7, forget the national worldwide campaign against them. This type of stuff we've seen here in America and our college campus all around the world. So I sympathize with Israel's need to want to be safe and free. And for us, we sit on the other side of the ocean going, well, this needs to stop. So Iran, if you have any brains left in. What did you call them again?
- [07:54]
E
The gay Ayatollah.
- [07:55]
G
The gay ayatollah. You know, maybe it's time to put on those dance shoes and go out and serenade and call the president and get it done. Because if the president walks away from this, it's not going to be like Afghanistan, Israel's coming and hell's coming with them.
- [08:10]
A
Yeah, it would be a very different end, I would imagine. Emily.
- [08:13]
B
Yeah, I think it's almost like, you know, in those campfires that there's a flame that stays sort of latent but existing throughout the winter and then all of a sudden it explodes. My point is Iran's goal is survival, whereas our goal is a peaceful resolution and a relationship that fosters growth back into the people. So all it takes is one radical or one radical thread to continue existing. And that's the threat. And that's why this president and administration is different than prior ones. And I think about when you mentioned, you know, the tolerance or zero appetite for these wars, you know, no one said anything when bombed Belgrade, when NATO bombed Belgrade for 78 straight days because Milosevic was an accepted, identified and acknowledged villain who was murdering thousands of people. Now we have this same situation. For some reason, it seems to me our biggest hindrance and our biggest frustration and challenge to this resolution are Democrats and libs and the mainstream media who are putting the pressure and the time clock on this president who has manifested and invested in a process that will take some time. And the difference as well now and back then is a faith, I think, in our military leaders and administration leaders, in the boots on ground, in the people who are there and the people who understand we're not making decisions from far away and the pressure will come from our Gulf allies and in this administration, I trust that the decisions will reflect our allies and relationships instead of deserting them, leaving them hanging, and then putting our American lives at risk because of that.
- [09:45]
F
Just one thing Democrats and Republicans are raising concerns about. And again, I'm on the. I believe the president's right, but we can't, you can't be dishonest about the fact that it's bipartisan. And two, when President Biden, when President, excuse me, Bush, said it was the right thing to do, President George W. Bush, who was my friend and your former boss and great friend, he also had noble intentions, which was to bring freedom and democracy to a region that he believed once they had a taste of it, those people would want it forever. So understand, I hear what you're saying, and I don't disagree with you. But the president. The only advice I'd have. StopTaris. We may differ slightly on this from a different perspective. Just stop telling us we're so close. Because the American people are believing that this thing is going to happen tomorrow and they may wake up and see that the Iranians have attacked the Israelis or the Iranians have attacked the Kuwaiti airport. And I think it's confusing for the American people as they try to digest all this. This is the only point I try to make.
- [10:36]
B
Do you think, respectfully, that he's saying that because he's being bombarded with questions from the mainstream media and from people who are sort of waiting for him to make a mistake instead of giving him patience and time, they're like, we need an answer. So he's, he's answered.
- [10:50]
F
So we're celebrating 250 years of our country. Every president has faced questions whenever he takes. And we'll say Xi one day when he takes us to war. And you know what? That's what the checks and balances. And that's why the founders wrote it like they did. So he may be fatigued by that, but that's the reality of being president.
- [11:05]
G
That's the job. Yeah.
- [11:07]
A
Actually, interestingly, one of the quietest countries in this entire conflict has been Iraq. All right, coming up next, a security nightmare. Five people savagely stabbed by a homeless maniac at the very arena President Trump will be at for tonight's Knicks game.
- [11:24]
G
Excuse me. You look like you love me.
- [11:30]
F
You look like you want me to
- [11:33]
B
want you to come on home, girl.
- [11:36]
E
You know it's true.
- [11:45]
B
Security concerns are ramping up after a homeless maniac was arrested for savagely stabbing five innocent bystanders during a bloody rampage at Penn Station in New York City, just 24 hours before President Trump is set to arrive at that very spot. Madison Square garden, for Game 3 of the Knicks historic finals run against the San Antonio Spurs. Security will be tight with barricades surrounding the arena and TSA style checkpoints inside before fans can enter. But Dems like AOC just can't help themselves as they try to dunk on Trump. It already has been a five killer because now the city has to shut down all the MSG watch parties that happen outside of the arena that have been the source of, like, so much fun for everybody.
- [12:36]
G
He's just injecting himself into the NBA
- [12:42]
F
Finals because he always has to bring the MAGA circus into town.
- [12:52]
G
I'm sorry. Listen, as a connoisseur of hats, brother, what are you doing? Get one that fits. Looks like you're wearing your dad's hat without his permission. Aoc, nobody cares. You couldn't even remember. Whenever people have to look up to try to say something. I mean, here's the deal. President Trump was Madison Square Garden before Madison Square Garden was cool. He was there for Ali Frazier. He's been there. He has generationally been there at Madison Square Garden. They want to bring up the crime in New York. Pick a day of the week, ladies and gentlemen, that's every day. The security will be great because I keep comparing President Trump more and more from his fearless attitude when it comes to going places. The man's had, I don't even know what we have to like, umpteen assassination attempts. He's got that Teddy Roosevelt vibe now. You know, maybe he got shot and he finished the sentence. He finished his speech. Anyways, he's going to be at the. He was invited to be there. He should be there. Aoc, you have no business being in a basketball game. Mondame's going. What is he going there to check all the millionaires and let them know which one of their houses is going to take in the summertime. This is what. Focus on the game. The Knicks have an opportunity to win a championship. Not since, oh, I'm sorry, Hochul said 1993. What was that about? The people who know nothing about the game of basketball and nothing about what it is to be a New York fan. I'm not, I'm a Celtic fan, but I rather see it's in the Eastern Conference, so I'm good with it. And my brother Harold, I'm surprised even here today, to be honest with you. He's. He can't wait to get to the game. It's about the game, it's about the players. And the people who don't love the game like to complain. You complain about the President, by everything. He's going to be there. He should be there. He is New York, whether I like it or not. Hey, I wish he was a Red Sox fan. We need a pep talk.
- [14:29]
B
That's the thing, Harold. So she said it's a vibe kill, but I feel like that was a vibe kill. The President was invited as a guest of the owner of the New York Knicks. He is New York, so it seems like he was maybe here first.
- [14:41]
F
I agree with everything Tyres said. I don't agree with President Trump on a lot of substantive issues, but he has been. He's been a New York sports fan and a sports fan for a long time. I met him the very first time at a sporting event many, many, many years ago. And the owner has every right to invite him. He's the President of the United States. The only focus I have is the Knicks winning tonight. And I hope his presence. People saying his presence is going to drink. We're playing so well. We just have to keep playing like we're playing defense. Cat's got to keep doing what he's doing. And I think the MVP of the league, MVP of the playoffs, has been young Jalen Brunson, so.
- [15:17]
G
Or Wembley. If you're a Knicks fan,
- [15:21]
F
you or something, Jesse.
- [15:24]
E
Well, he'll be safe. He's not taking the subway to the Garden. He'll be in the Odor Suite. And when they put his face on the jumbotron, he's going to get love. If they put Mondani on the Jumbotron, you're going to hear boos. And if they lose, it's Mandani's fault. He's the jinx. Remember, he disappeared?
- [15:42]
G
Yep.
- [15:42]
E
He's 12 games straight.
- [15:44]
G
All right, we're talking about losing.
- [15:46]
F
Let's stop talking about losing.
- [15:47]
E
I hope the next sweep because we're gonna have Johnny there on Wednesday and I want him in the middle of a riot.
- [15:53]
G
He's getting too popular, isn't he?
- [15:56]
E
We hope Johnny's safe. Safe, but AOC needs to check herself because Trump's been going to the Garden before she was born, and I don't see her at any games. She's acting like she's pretending to go to games and then actually, oh, I'm going to watch it from home because I don't want to inconvenience anybody. Who is she inconveniencing? What kind of crew does she run with? She's just a congresswoman. We went to her district in Queens. My bad. No one even knew who AOC was. And the people that did know over there didn't like her. Exactly.
- [16:30]
G
She watches from home there too.
- [16:31]
B
Also, look, of course there's presidential security. It's a whole nother level. But I've been to comedy shows at MSG where we put our phones into the pouches and it takes forever. And it's tsa. And so in New York, we are used. It was the Dave Chappelle. We are used to massive security. So the concept that, like, that's all of a sudden new. And I mean, we have it for every parade down fifth.
- [16:53]
G
I was in a room.
- [16:54]
A
Sorry. I just. I think that it's possible that they shut down the watch parties, that they were looking for an excuse to do it because a cop was assaulted last week at one of them and it was getting a little rowdy. And I have a feeling that this was convenient to say, no more watch parties. And I bet that if there's game four in New York, I guess there will be. Right? Then I don't think they're. I don't think the watch parties, at least at those locations, are coming back. But the other thing is the President also, like, just imagine if he had. If they had a head fake this morning and then said like, no, the President's not going.
- [17:30]
B
Okay.
- [17:31]
A
And then the President just shows up. Like, that could have also been a possibility because if you do it that way, then nobody knows you're coming, so you don't have to worry about it. Yeah.
- [17:40]
G
But just so you know, security wise, I was in a rodeo in Elizabeth, Colorado. They had the same rules. That's your basic rules. I grew up right by there, so I'm just saying. It's the same rules. Clear bag. It's the same rules. They just wah. Just focus on the game. Because if the Knicks lose, Harold, that'll be the most embarrassing if they drop two at home and have to go back to say, oh boy, that's the
- [18:03]
F
most important word in a sentence. You just. If.
- [18:05]
G
If. Yeah, if it was a fifth, would all be happy hour.
- [18:07]
B
I know why the set is blue today. All right, guys, up next. So much for MeToo. The Democrats are making more pathetic excuses for their scandal plagued Senate candidate, Graham Platner.
- [18:41]
E
The Democratic Party has officially given up on hashtag MeToo. As the party rallies behind their favorite accused pervert and Nazi tattoo enthusiast Graham Platner, head of tomorrow's primary in Maine.
- [18:55]
B
Susan Collins needs to be defeated. She is a MAGA fascist to her core and just want to throw this in there too. I don't give a if somebody had a toxic relationship. I myself have been a toxic girlfriend. I've had toxic boyfriends. That's part of the human experience.
- [19:13]
C
Susan Collins supported the war in Iran and that's why I'm still supporting him. Graham has made it clear that there
- [19:19]
F
was no evidence of violence.
- [19:20]
C
That to me is a red line. I believe her. I think Graham acted shamefully.
- [19:25]
E
Purvey Plattner is still trying to goose step away from his Nazi tattoo controversy by saying, hey, I'm just a history buff. It's those pesky Republicans that are the real fascists.
- [19:37]
H
Throughout history, the only thing that's ever beat fascism is a broad based working class coalition. And fascism is what we are up against. As many of you might know, I'm a bit of a history buff and something I find fascinating is when you look at like 1927, 1928, there is an entire conversation about hoarded wealth. We need to get that money back.
- [20:00]
E
Okay, Dana, you were not here for a lot of our Graham Platner.
- [20:04]
A
Oh, I was following them programming.
- [20:06]
E
Anything you'd like to add?
- [20:07]
A
Well, Pervy Platner is quite the name. I will take that under advisement. So if you're a Democrat, all of this was avoidable. But the Platner team convinced all these Democrats that he was the only viable choice and so now they're stuck with him. So this guy, last week he was on Capitol Hill talking to Senate Democrats trying to calm everybody down and he was promising them that there is nothing else out there. At the very same time that his team was working with the New York Times on the piece that came out over the weekend about his treatment of women, of which the New York Times really soft pedal to try to protect him. Why are you trying to protect him? And it is nonsense about Susan Collins being fascist MAGA guy. I mean, her biggest sin to the Democrats is that she voted for Brett Kavanaugh. That is what they want to go after her for. So she won in 2020 by nine points. Everyone thought she was going to fail. I think at the end of this she will be triumphant as well. But the Democrats are going to have to spend a lot of money. Her Collins team is always very, very good. She just cast her 10,000th vote while he was trying on a split screen. So she's casting her 10,000th vote in a row she's never missed. And then he's on a split screen trying to explain the New York Times thing and promising that there was nothing else, which means there's something else.
- [21:28]
E
Certainly something. There always is. Right, Cyrus?
- [21:30]
G
Yeah. You know, I think it's. He kind of. First of all, with all due respect to Harold and other actual real Democrats out there, which we can have discourse and we can sit down and have conversations and whatnot. This is socialist party, and this is who they are. The reason why there's no outrage over him is because he's. They're fine with it. We've seen it. We see the. Who's funding the protests. Who's. Who's the ones. All against Jewish people as a whole. It's from the socialist party. He said he's a history buff, which the thing should be like, so then you have no excuse for the concentration camp tattoo that was on your chest. That's a very specific. Of all the Nazi tattoos. That's the worst. Okay. And he's a history buff, so he knew what he was doing. I also find it funny that the party. It's not really funny. It's actually tragic, is that they will. For the power is so important to them, and beating Trump is so important to him. And I don't know how to tell this to him other than scoreboard. There's no rematch. He's won. When he finishes, he's going to go out and golf and enjoy his grandchildren and life, but they're going to continue to attack and attack. They. This is who they are. Bernie Sanders shook hands with this man on stage and said, he's changed his ways. You don't change your ways when you seek out a concentration camp. That is very specific. That's like, I didn't get a Klan tattoo. I got a self portrait of the grand wizard and me on a Ferris wheel at the state park together. You know, it's very. And he doesn't respect women at all. His own wife turned him in trying to save him, saying, you shouldn't run. This is a bad dude. But he is just one cog in the socialist party.
- [23:10]
E
And he kind of just breezed through those allegations. I mean, that was what. That was Thursday. And, you know, the Democrats are kind of rallying to his side.
- [23:20]
B
Well, that's what makes this so nauseating, so disheartening, so dysfunctional and so sad. If I were a Democrat, especially a female Democrat, I don't know how I would be identifying with the party that for some reason with the now. Justice Kavanaugh, you're welcome. That was. Believeallsurvivors support all survivors. That's a quote from Ro Khanna. So now what about those people like him who talked about credible accusations and credible allegations up and down and in the fine print and in the headlines of Washington Post and New York Times. And then now for some reason he needs to see bruises, he needs to see actual injuries before he believes. So I think that these women went
- [24:05]
A
on the record totally.
- [24:07]
B
And the sacrifice then of morality of some type, of any type of moral code even to just maybe stay quiet and sit this one out, to sacrifice that for their clear partisanship and tell us cuz it's no big deal to me is the biggest slap in the face. So look, I don't recognize that party, but this is clear to me that it keeps happening. Because remember, for Eric Swalwell, everyone condemned his behavior and the credible allegations right up until telling him to actually give up his seat. So all they want to do is make sure that they are okay on the right side of the line, but not if it gives up a blue seat. And that's what they're doing here. And I think now they're double digging in. They're digging in because they don't have a normal candidate to run. And so they will refuse to say, you know what, we actually got the bad egg, I need to return this one.
- [24:56]
G
But you're not losing a seat. You're getting rid of swatwell. You're not, it's going to stay blue.
- [25:00]
F
Look, it's important to remember with that Swalwell thing that nobody in the Congress acted until they knew they were going to get rid of one Democrat and one Republican. So the whole thing was politicized. Can I just say a few words? You know, political scandals and blemishes today seem more accepted by voters desperate for different outcomes. I've said on the show, Dave, DP was the way you probably saw it, he would not be my choice in the primary because I think character matters. Character is being outweighed today by performance and performative politics. And the question that Democrats will have to answer, and they're answering it by, to the. I think the proper question you ask him is how can, when you say these things before, can you now do this? And they're all saying, well we're going to win this seat. It's all about politics has become on both sides, all about exercising power. Now I don't mind if you're exercising power and wanted to exercise it to challenge people's lives. If he was saying we're going to reward work, the first $60,000 of income in this country will be tax free for people who go to work not government just giving you a check. We're going to end the tariffs because no policies increase prices. And persistent it's a more persistent impact on the cost of goods in America than the president's tariffs. Talk about answers. But if all you talk about is fascism and you to Mr. Plattner who was a different kind of candidate who said look I made a lot of mistakes and now he sounds just like a regular candidate, maybe that's where we are in politics today. I regret I bemoan it in many ways but it sounds like again the scandals and the blemishes are being tolerated by voters because voters want something very different in their lives. They want very different price outcomes in their lives.
- [26:39]
E
Well, we'll see how much because there is more coming and I think we
- [26:43]
F
all something more comes up. Interesting to see what I think they're going to Democrats have a different tune about we'll see.
- [26:48]
G
Maybe he has a weird tramp.
- [26:49]
A
What did the guy said?
- [26:51]
E
I don't want to think about that. All right. Coming up, Scott Pelly holding a pity party for himself after CBS gives him the boot.
- [27:19]
G
America, get your glasses on because you can't see me. And here's exactly why Americans can't stand the media anymore. Fired CBS journalist Scott Paley is proving himself to be pompous self important leftist hack after giving a dramatic post firing interview to the New York Times where he actually compared changes being made to 60 minutes to a spouse being murdered. Watch.
- [27:44]
B
What was the feeling about that particular opening salvo to the team?
- [27:51]

Oh, she I am told said something to the effect of why do you think the country thinks you're biased? But she didn't offer any kind of a metric.
- [28:04]
B
I can hear how much this has hurt you.
- [28:12]
G
Yes, it's like your spouse being murdered. Sure, his wife loved that analogy. Jesse, speaking of firing, I'll go to you first because you like me. I think we have a lot of job experiences at different times in our life. He said there was no metric. The Kamala Harris interview, that alone was a fireable offense. His interview on what he did with ICE in Minnesota when they gave him specific directions on what they were asking him to be down the middle. Fireable offense. Then you walk in the meeting with your new boss and you tell him you're murdering 60 minutes. You don't know what you're doing. You have no experience. You sir, are terrible. And that's he just kept going on and on. You can't do. I don't care who. You can't do that at Arby's.
- [28:58]
E
No, you can't do that anywhere. And what metric. 28% of the country trusts the press. It is at an all time low. All of the donations from journalists go to Democrats. They showered crooked and Biden with cash. And it's like my spouse being murdered. Mrs. Pelley. Yeah, talk about a guy married to his job. I mean, you are not his true love. He is in love with 60 minutes and that's fine, but that is sad. And now we know what his second act is. Broadway. Give Scotty a Tony. Crying. The only time a man should cry. When your kid does something really special. When you win a championship.
- [29:41]
G
Absolutely.
- [29:42]
E
And when you see a Budweiser commercial.
- [29:44]
G
Yes, those. Damn.
- [29:45]
E
But the guy, hey, listen, he was a war correspondent. I get it. No one's ever gonna take that away from him. That's very gutsy. But he's like, you know what? I've been shot at. Trump has actually been shot. The bullet hit him and he popped back up and said, fight, fight, fight for the country.
- [30:02]
G
You know, he came off as an elitist and very virtue signaling. Cuz he said every time between crying spells in the interview, it's not about me, it's them. If somebody you work with that you respected got fired, you don't want them, Emily bringing you into it. Like, hey, hey, leave me out, man. Not my fault you got canned. Where did the. He's not really a journalist. I think that's what he used to be one. But the elitist virtue signaling was shocking.

The performance, the Broadway that we saw, the drama. I feel I was trying to be a little measured in my analysis of this because I don't know what it would be like to be. I don't know what is he, an oxygenarian, whatever, 70 something. And have clearly his identity so wrapped up. But I will say this. The reason that I keep all of my bar memberships is because if this dream that I am living every day ends tomorrow, I will have a backup plan to put food on my table. And when I think about the show at noon, it's not my show. It is the owner of this network show. And when I think about the stars here, that the star is Fox. So my point is, is that I am well aware every day that this is an incredible experience and dream that we are living. And it is an honor to serve as a messenger for even one other American person, let alone myself. So I would never presume to expect that I will Stay here to expect that I deserve to stay here forever and to certainly go on an interview and equate a termination. By the way, we are all at Will employees. So also look at a legal tome and act like it can't all end. Like, have some appreciation and have some perspective, because people in this city are actually dying every day on the subway and in the wars that he's covered. So somewhere along the line, I feel like he got lost in some type of upscale Upper east side shop and just forgot that his one role is actually reporting the news.
- [32:00]
G
Dana, it ends for us all.
- [32:03]
A
Yes, it will. It's true. When I was a little kid, I was afraid to go outside on Sundays to play because I was afraid I'd miss 60 Minutes. I loved it that much. My dad would set the alarm on the stove so that I could make sure that I didn't miss it. And then fast forward in my life. In 2004, CBS News 60 Minutes tried to take down George W. Bush with forged documents. And where was the introspection there? There never was. In fact, they still maintain she's not letting it go. Oh, I'm not gonna let it go. I will never forget. But also since then. And Eliana Johnson said earlier today on Commentary magazine podcast that when they make news in the last several years, it's only because when they're shown to be biased. And one of them was the example of they go to Germany to talk about free speech protections and the censorship, if you remember. Also, do you remember Leslie Stahl interviewing the hostage? And she asked about, oh, is it because the hostage takers didn't have any food? Do you remember? Like, that's when 60 Minutes has been making news. The other thing is, he said in the interview that he had never heard of Bari Weiss.
- [33:03]
G
Oh, really?
- [33:03]
A
Because. Because she's been in the news, like, in a big way, as a part of the New York Times for many years. And so it's your job to know. It's our job to know who she is. And so I think that 60 Minutes will probably survive. It'll look different, and that will be fine.
- [33:20]
G
I don't know. Whenever I heard that 60 Minutes Harold, that meant bedtime for me. So I hated that sound that felt
- [33:24]
A
that it meant, take us home, Harold.
- [33:26]
F
I agree with Dana. I grew up that way also. And then I'm a little older than Diana, but I love the show. But as impactful and important a show at its height. I remember Jim Vande Hei, the head of Axios, who's an old friend gave a speech at the press Club in D.C. and it was around a time when the press was being felt under assault. And he gave a speech saying, we need to respond to this not by being angry, not by personalizing this, but by figuring out how we can do better. Because if we believe this estate is as important as it is, then we have to respond constructively to some of the criticism. I think Mr. Pelay, you know, I give people grace. He's been there a long time, and he probably clearly feels bad about what happened, but that's not the way to save that program. That's not the way. If he believes that journalism is undersought, if he believes Ms. Weiss is a part of it, this is not the way to do it. Making it about him and not making it about the viewers and the integrity of one of the greatest news shows, I believe, in the last 50 years,

and that is 60 minutes, the fastest is up next.

Welcome back. Some of the biggest hits on Spotify right now are, get this, songs from the past. Oh, little Jermaine Jackson right there. With one in three being at least a decade old. For example, Michael Jackson's Billie Jean moonwalked his way to the top of the global chart last month, 43 years after took took over the world number one. My kids don't like this, but Tyrus, you and I have a great appreciation along with Emily for some of this music, as does everyone. But we sing it a lot here on the Kennedy, and I get to go in here sometimes in commercial break. What are your thoughts about this?
- [35:18]
G
No, it's true, because everyone likes the old stuff because it's real. They had this crazy thing back in the day called songwriters.
- [35:26]
E
Say that again.
- [35:26]
G
Songwriters and musicians and people who scored. It wasn't a computer. It wasn't a thing. It wasn't like, hey, we need to scientifically figure out which algorithm tune works. And that's why all the songs sound like so. Of course the young kids are hearing the old stuff. I love it when my kids come to me like, you hear this? I was like, I wrote that.
- [35:43]
F
DP your thoughts on this?
- [35:45]
A
I just had something funny to say. On our way back from the book tour, my assistant Kate got in the front seat and I sat in the back with Percy. Peter's driving and he has the SiriusXM radio on. And she's like, oh, the Doobie Brothers. I love their new song. Listen to the Music. And I put it in my videos. And Peter was like, that song was great.

54 years ago, Jesse and I Become great pals. One of the things that bonded us first. I remember you one day saying if you had one, one group you'd want to listen to Forever Live concert. You put one of mines on there. Parliament Funkadelay Funk for sure.
- [36:17]
E
Saw him in concert. I don't think they knew what was going on. But you know what? Neither did I. Jackson's at the top of the charts because the documentary is out on Netflix. And I just watched it and boy, is that guy guilty as sin, but boy, can he sing.
- [36:35]
F
He's never convicted. Emily, your thoughts on this? I tell people, but doing commercial break, we have a lot of fun talking about music and dancing and listening to talking about the same lyrics. Your thoughts on this story?
- [36:46]
B
Yeah, I mean my, like listening to Casey Kasem on Saturday mornings and recording it like that was my life. And like the second you heard your song on the radio, pressing record and it was amazing. I think the resurgence now is exactly what you said. It's an appreciation that that was real music. And also that because of documentaries or, you know, whatever's online, Stranger Things researched a lot of 80s music. So part of me is annoyed because I'm like, we were there when it first came out. But part of me is grateful that at least these kids are loving it and bringing it back and appreciating and actually getting exposed to what real music is. Because Lord knows it's hard to find these days, except for country.

Okay, it's time now for One More Thing. My dad loved One More Thing. And he loved animals and he loved cows. Here we go. This one is for him. This cow comes in peace. You can see right here, a woman in Arkansas was checking in on her farm at night. And then she saw this, which is pretty interesting. That's a cow's markings. It's on his head. He just happens to look like an alien. There he is. Animals are Great podcast today with Matt Whitlock of CRC Advisors. And happy birthday to him as well.

Actually looks like that when I wake up in the morning. Business in the front, party in the back. Denmark hosting the fourth annual National Mullet Championship. Pack crowd 60 seconds each to showcase their cuts. While the judgment, a 43 year old construction worker won the top prize. Look. Oh, my God. That's just embarrassing. That looks like Jesse Ventura tonight. Jesse Waters Primetime JD Vance will join us at 8 before the Knicks game.

Check out this World War II veteran. At his first prom, 100-year-old Ray Svenova celebrated the momentous event he missed 82 years ago due to his military service. Six Illinois high school students invited him to the prom and also decorated a vintage trolley with streamers and balloons so he would arrive in style. He had a blast dancing the night away. Congratulations, young man.

Emily. Love that.

Are you gonna be in Illinois?
- [39:44]
G
Possibly. You're going, oh, hey, guess what? We have time for one more thing on one more thing. In Asheville, North Carolina, a bear was spotted breaking into a U haul van. You sure that's not me? And the bear rummaged through the van and stole a bagged lunch. Yogi, where's the ranger when you need him? Oh, my God.
