I'm greg gutfeld along with emily compagno, jessica tarloff, jesse waters and martha maccallum. The five. President Trump revving up America's engine today, touring a Mack truck plant in Lehigh Valley, Makunji, home of the Buckeye Tavern in Pennsylvania, before firing up a jam packed crowd of workers. Yellow Pennsylvania, I won this place so much.

[B]

You finally have a president who is

[A]

putting workers first, putting Pennsylvania first and putting America First.

[B]

19 million barrels of oil flowed out

[A]

of the Strait of Hormuz, a very beautiful place. That's the most, that's the most oil in the history of the strait.

[B]

And he said, sir, in the last year and a half, my 401k is up 74%, sir. And she thinks I'm Warren Buffett. She thinks I'm a super genius. Remember that? I was the one that did it.

[A]

Okay, Somebody's going to walk into office

[B]

and they're going to have the most

[A]

successful country in history and they're going to be bragging what a great job they did.

[B]

And the mother's screaming, darling, I love you, darling. And the father's looking, saying she has no chance. God.

[A]

And 47 has some serious tangibles to sell, sir. Gas is down as the straight opens for business. Rent is down thanks to Trump's deportations. And the Senate bill, Senate just passed a bill to curb Wall street from buying up all the single family homes. Let's go to you first, Emily. So you have all this good stuff, what they call tangibles, but we haven't even brought up the bad stuff that still exists, the Democrat policies. So it's like even, like this isn't even in a vacuum. You can look at all these good things happening, but you have to remind yourself of the open borders dei, the green New Deal and trans, all this stuff that is, that could be there if this hadn't been there and also

[C]

the effects of which we're still dealing with.

[B]

Right?

[C]

So yes, the border's closed, but there's still hundreds of thousands of people here that shouldn't be, that are wreaking havoc on our cities. And sure, now we finally have DAs in red cities that are prosecuting them. But a lot of Americans are still feeling unsafe. A lot of them are still fighting their school boards. A lot of them are fighting their teachers for indoctrinating their kids. And all of this is going on and this is what Americans are talking about at the kitchen table. So I'm grateful that the president is there in Pennsylvania because frankly, I think the nation has been a little exhausted about what's happening in the Middle East. I think obviously every day we are praying for the health and safety of our armed services men and women over there. But the reality is it's here on this ground that Americans feel the fight and they need to feel the positive effects before the midterms. Democrats, I think, are taking it for granted. All they are doing is choosing in their buffet of socialism, which furthest left freak. They're going to pick and celebrate that they win. Tonight, for example, in New York, we'll get to it later or later in November, but I think that we can push back that tide. I said this analogy the other day at noon, which was that if you've ever been caught in a rising tide, it doesn't come at you like a wave as a line. It comes all of a sudden all around you. And I think that's where a lot of Americans feel that they are right now, which is all of a sudden feeling that they're surrounded in their blue cities in particular by a very socialist led indoctrination that has been coming for quite some time. The machine has been built and executed for quite some time on our campuses, on our streets, in the police districts in so many different ways, where all of a sudden we felt unaware. This is our last chance to push back and say, yes, we voted Trump in and this is why. But we have to hold the line if it will make those strides in two years. Because we all know that it's much faster to dismantle and destroy than it is to build back up again.

[A]

Yeah. You know, Martha, what's amazing, when a Republican gets into some kind of power, you see cause and effect and incentives and disincentives take root. And you hope that the Democrats learn the best example. Open borders drove up rent because scarcity of places to rent, deportation lowers rent so you can find an affordable place, you would think that would go, wow, maybe we should rethink this whole thing.

[D]

And I also think what you're seeing is a pivot to America first ahead of the midterms. I think the president looked at where the conversation was going every day and said, okay, hold on, we're going to hit the pause button on this situation. Very successful operation in Venezuela. Iran, obviously, a lot trickier, and we can get into some of the issues around the deal. But it's clear that he wants the focus to be back on those wins as he sees them in the United States, that you talk about lowering rent, gas prices coming down as a result of the change of what we're seeing in the. In the Strait of Hormuz, because although we don't get a lot of oil from there, it affects global oil prices and we're seeing a drop. I think, you know, what we can all pick up here is that this is the focus for now, and it's going to be the focus all through the summer as the President goes all across. He's in Pennsylvania today to Mack Truck Factory. This is what he wants people talking about. He wants people talking about wins. He's looking at the midterms going. Actually, no, I think it would be great if we could hold onto the House and hold on to the Senate. And, you know, I would just caution people about sort of writing off the future of the November election, because it's a. I actually think it's a long way away, and I think people's feelings can change dramatically in that time. And I think President Trump, as much as he doesn't like any polls that don't look good, he absorbs them and he understands the economy a little soft at the moment in terms of people's perception of it. Also, the war in Iran not getting great numbers. But I also think that I wouldn't be surprised to see him go back around after the midterms and go finish the job, because that's what a lot of people would like to see. A lot of his supporters, surprisingly, in some new polling, would like to see that as well. But he's a strategy person, and he's clearly pivoting right now to what he thinks should be the priority.

[A]

You know, Jesse, I think they. Nearly 20 million gallons of oil through the strait. I thought that the strait was closed. Who told us that? Yesterday?

[B]

I think Jessica. I'm not going to say her nickname. She said she got attacked over the nickname, so I'll just leave it at there. But, yes, this is the pivot to the economy. Pivot.

[A]

Pivot.

[B]

That was Ross from Friends. The two big economic earthquakes are behind us. Economic and epic fury and Liberation Day. So we signed the trade deals, we won the war, and the tax cuts are there. So is it enough to win the midterms? I have no idea. But I know the Democrats are sweating through their sombreros because they nominated a guy in Texas that's on tape that just said I hate Christianity. And the other guy is talking about he thinks he has STDs. Not good. They also have no economic message and they're broke. Now, the President will be getting inflation below wage growth and that'll bring rates down and even Jessica will call it the golden age. Can I do Mike? Jim Cramer.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Since Donald Trump's election, the S and p has returned 33%. Nasdaq 38%, Dow 33%. Now, most Americans are in the market, so that is a lot of moolah. Plus foreign investment. 10 year high manufacturing activity, 4 year high, US steel, construction, jobs, auto way up and the jobless rate is down. And that's because the illegals are getting out and that's driving the rent down. That's Jessica. We call that supply and demand. The person on my right will probably mention a bunch of polls, but these polls don't reflect reality because if you look at consumer spending, consumers are spending phenomenally well. Business investment is phenomenal. Small cap index returning 66%. That's small business. So is it perfect? No. Is it better than biodynomics? Absolutely, yes. Now is the time to be an entrepreneur. If you have AI, you could do your own business. You could do a side hustle, create an app, sell it to some VC company. Cha ching. The American dream is right there for the taking. You just have to go out and grab it.

[A]

Wow, that was inspirational, too.

[B]

That was my Jim Cramer.

[A]

Yeah, that was good. But just a reminder, Jim Cramer ends up being wrong on everything

[B]

I do.

[A]

Jessica, I have to say, the world is safer with Iran paralyzed. Housing costs are down, the gas prices are humbling. I feel it's time for another Democrat hoax. Do you have anything in the pipeline? Anything?

[C]

Algae. Algae?

[E]

I was thinking about burning a cross earlier. What? I'm going to wait until after the show.

[A]

That's good.

[E]

I wanted Jesse, though, to imitate Jim Cramer when he couldn't speak for 15 seconds when he was trying to process that Trump has been personally trading intel stock. Can you do that imitation? And then wait. I'm David Faber. You're going to be okay, man. I swear.

[B]

Okay. I don't know who that is, but okay.

[E]

That's embarrassing for you. Okay?

[A]

You don't know who David Faber is?

[B]

He's the guy that sits next to Kramer.

[A]

I Don't know. So didn't Kramer yell the N word at a comedy club?

[E]

Don't say that if that's.

[D]

Wait.

[C]

Different Kramer.

[D]

Thank you, Emily. Not Uncle Lewis.

[C]

Oh, my.

[D]

Quickly.

[E]

Wait. So the rent number. I think it's great when rents come down. We are also losing $479 billion over the next decade in lost tax revenue because of the mass deportations. So you've got to look how that levels out. This is the reality on the ground. In Pennsylvania, average household lost 30$400 because of inflation. In the last year, they paid $9 billion in tariffs. Half of a million people losing their coverage because of the Medicaid cuts and the big beautiful bill. And 116, 60,000 Pennsylvanians gave up their health care because of the increase in the ACA subsidies. The Republicans wouldn't vote.

[A]

How many of those were illegals again? You already complained that they lost tax revenue from illegals. Yeah, that is your, your legitimate one complaint is that the government didn't get more money because we, we sent illegals back. We'll take it. You will take that loss.

[E]

There are a lot of people who, when you look at who were paying in to those revenues, the payroll taxes

[A]

and the sales tax, we're going to make more money.

[E]

Those were actually the good guys, right? The ones who are showing up every day at Home Depot, who are working in.

[A]

What if GMP keeps growing, you make more money.

[E]

I'm just painting a picture. He's out there at the Mack Truck plant going vroom, vroom, vroom. Whatever your example, by the way, not great for the parallels with the Mack Truck plant because they need the old fashioned jobs versus the new fashion jobs. But I'm just saying for the average person in Pennsylvania, a critical swing state where Josh Shapiro I think is the most popular governor in the country, actually,

[A]

why don't you nominate him for president then?

[E]

I would love to.

[A]

Bring luck. You guys don't like Jews in power. I seem to remember. I seem to remember that.

[E]

What did we learn yesterday, Jesse, about the Jews in Israel being different?

[B]

What does that have to do with the. Tell me what I learned, Jessica.

[E]

You learned that when you're talking about the state of Israel, you don't use the term Jews. And when you're talking about. Just don't talk about Jews.

[A]

You didn't pick Josh Shapiro as VP because he was Jewish.

[E]

I didn't do anything. I wasn't on any committees. By the way, you as in your

[A]

party, sure you want to go back? I would love to see. No, I would love to see you nominated, but you guys won't.

[E]

I'm sorry. You are.

[D]

That and a few bucks

[E]

cost more because of Donald Trump if you are in Pennsylvania and other 49 states.

[A]

I think that, I think the trade off with the deportations which have lowered, lowered rent is far worth the loss of all that tax revenue bureaucracy.

[D]

All right, well, we got to go.

[A]

We have so much more to talk about. Coming up, Zo Ran's band of socialist freaks are about to seize the Big Apple.

[B]

[B]

[A]

They're all excited.

[B]

They're going to win their primaries, but

[A]

I can't imagine they can beat a normal Republican.

[B]

So I think it's a good thing.

[D]

President Trump sounding the alarm as his hometown New York City grapples with socialism on the ballot tonight. Big races all across New York. Mayor Zohan Mamdani has put it all on the line. His political clout behind a slate of democratic socialists who are taking on incumbents with radical position. They have radical positions like these. I'm a union organizer,

[C]

an anti war activist. I'm a democratic socialist

[B]

running for Congress

[D]

right here in the hearts of the commie corridor, the fascists.

[C]

In the White House, we have a climate denier.

[E]

In the White House.

[D]

We were racist and trans rope in

[B]

the White House all deportation is wrong.

[A]

Is that something you still believe that phrase?

[D]

Yes.

[A]

People who were convicted of breaking U.S. criminal law.

[B]

Is the deportation of those people wrong?

[D]

Yes. So that is Chevalier. She also said that she was asked four times by people who wanted to support her if she condemned Hamas and their actions on October 7, their violence on October 7 against Jewish families in Israel and she wouldn't do it. She was Asked four times. That's Chevalier. All right. So it's not just socialism, and this is part of it as well. Anti Semitism also rearing its ugly head in these races. And in the Democratic Party. A New York City coffee shop banned Jewish Congressman Dan Goldman over his pro Israel stance, refunding the coffee he had purchased and taunting him in a social media caption that said, among other things, it said, like, it was really creepy. It's like, we saw you. We saw you in our store, and this is the surveillance photo. And then it went on to say, do you see how it doesn't taste like genocide juice? The DOJ is now investigating this incident. This was just incredibly appalling. Jesse, I want to start with you on this. It's like Dan Goldman was, like, led the Trump impeachment. I mean, he has, you know, some would say a pretty good dose of Trump derangement syndrome. In many ways. He hates everything Trump, but that is not enough anymore. You have to also be anti Semitic, anti Israel, or you're not. It's like a new identity category for politics. It doesn't matter who you are or what you believe. If they think you fall into that category, they're gonna kick you out of the coffee shop.

[B]

Yeah, I don't like the Goldman guy very much, but he should be able to buy coffee and not get banned. And they gave him his money back. I mean, what, your money's no good here? They shouldn't do this to guys wearing MAGA hats or they shouldn't do it to Greg. So I don't like that kind of discrimination. But I will say, when the Democrats screw things up, Democrat voters are going to vote socialists. I'm sorry. Adams blew it. De Blasio blew it. Biden brought all these migrants here, drove up prices, utilities, rent. So Mandani, they're like, I'm going to try a little Mandani. You know, he sounds maybe dumb enough to do something, and so he's kind of like the Muslim Santa Claus. He's got this big bushy beard, and he gives you a bunch of free stuff. Socialism, Jessica, does not work. Never has, never will. But if you've been paying attention to the World cup, all of these Europeans from socialist countries are coming here, and they're dumbstruck by American abundance. Dumbstruck. They love our options, the variety, their air conditioning. They even love our petrol prices. That's what they call gasoline in Europe, because they depend on lower here than they are over there. Now, Europe, I think, is ripe for socialism. But so is New York because you have this huge gap between the rich and the poor that they can exploit. And 40% of New York City is foreign born. I mean, foreign born people vote Democrat. They love them. They're also more poor and so they're more on welfare. So they want to grow the government. 70% of New York City is non white, non white. Mostly votes Democrats. You got a guy foreign born, not white. He's now mayor and he's the king. Now he screwed a lot of stuff up, but he's got a vibe and he's made friends with Trump. So if he can just not mess around with the Trump economy, this guy has it all here.

[D]

Jessica, this is obviously a battle for the heart of the Democratic Party and it's really, it's pretty vicious. I mean, you watch, I mean, the coffee shop, I think is a really good example of what's going on.

[E]

Shop is on another level of anti Semitism to the point that it has broken through to people that I know who do not pay attention to politics. You know, they're not into the establishment left versus the DSA left. They're like, how is something like this happening?

[D]

Did they feel that way when Sarah Huckabee got kicked out of restaurants?

[E]

These are not people that are paying attention to politics. So they're not, I don't think they know that story. I'm not into anyone being kicked out of a place of business if you are not being rowdy and if you are paying your bill. I thought that Congressman Goldman, who is my congressman, handled that beautifully and you know, complimented the barista who helped them and said, I was with my 7 year old daughter and she couldn't have been nicer to us. I think it's a stain that something like that would happen. Mamdani, if this does not go well for him, it will be a major, major setback and it will call into question a lot of the proverbial risk.

[D]

November. Who might end up saving him in November if some of them lose?

[E]

Well, it's a pretty blue city. So it's not as if, I mean, most of these don't even have a Republican challenger. But I think that there is a big difference between, for instance, Claire Valdez, who you played the original clip of, and then Dariel Aza Chevalier, who is challenging Espalot In New York. 13th. I mean, she is dangerous. It seems pretty dumb also and I don't know why Mamdani would waste capital on that. I think also there's a difference between endorsing in an Open seat, which is the situation in New York 7 versus going after sitting congresspeople. And, you know, Hakeem Jeffries has shown a capacity to be able to push Mamdani away from a challenge. He's done that before. They have a decent working relationship. And I think that it reflects really poorly on him. And certainly if you then do that and then you lose, it's going to look even worse.

[D]

Emily.

[C]

Yeah, I think I'm horrified by this. I am horrified at when did the Democrat Party normalize monsters like these? And then the New York City mayor has the nerve to call ipac ipec, a group of months apac, a group of monsters. And just to be clear here, so you just mentioned how he endorsed Chevalier over Esplanade Esperance, the chair of the Hispanic Caucus in Congress right now. And Chevalier attended a pro Palestine rally the day after the October 7th attack on Israel. There is no gray area here, in my opinion. It's pretty obvious that these candidates are absolutely disqualified to even run. And yet somehow they're being celebrated and then endorsed by our super smiley, annoying mayor. These people are pro defund the police. Every deportation is an abomination. They are against prison altogether. They are against everything that makes a society run. And they continue to display such juvenile comments and tendencies and policies like free buses and free houses, not ever explaining how we're going to pay with them. All they say is there's a fascist White House and a trans trope or phobe and we are supposed to be like, great, you have my vote. This city is going to hell in a handbasket because of the mayor. And I do not understand. You are right. Why he is bothering to endorse all of these psychopaths instead of saying, you know what? I'm in the office, I'm gonna this one out. As he should. I hope there's more national leadership that comes out and says all of these people are tragically unqualified and disqualified and turn their backs on everyone for some reason. They're all celebrated because remember, blue is blue.

[D]

I think Hamdani's just, like, feeling he got really lucked out with the Knicks winning. And, you know, he, like, got the big parade and everything. He's like, now I want all these socialist candidates. I want to pull them up with me.

[A]

I'm just still thinking of a Muslim Santa. Does he fly the sleigh into the chimney? I don't know. That is a terrible joke that was given to me by my friendly Muslim. Anyway, okay, what is amazing about this is so beneficial to hardcore libs like Dan Goldman because he looks less crazy. He's not pro Israel, okay? When he is flatly asked if Israel has committed genocide, he never says no. He says, we just don't know enough or absolutely horrific things have happened in Gaza. He is a wuss when it comes to Israel. And still that is not enough. I don't understand the battle between Democrat socialists and Democrats who are progressive. Where is the daylight between them? When you think about it, they almost sound exactly the same. I think it's a fake battle because they win either way. Democrat is in both titles. You know, they want you to think, well, instead of that Democrat socialist, you've got this progressive Democrat. That's like a doctor saying, good news, you don't have Alzheimer's, you have dementia. It's going to be. It's the same villain under a different name. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Indeed. Emily. By the way, can I just say something? When I was listening to that woman, There is so much anger against human nature. It's like you can't explain it, but when she's talking, she doesn't like human nature. She wants a cap on achievement and she wants a cushion of free stuff. When you have a cap on achievement and a cushion of free stuff, you are bas training human beings into being pliant house pets. You know, they want you to give up under the disguise as a grievance. That is the scariest thing. How much they enjoy it.

[D]

Sure. That's why communist countries are like, there's no color.

[A]

Yes, there's no color.

[D]

All right, so coming up next, Graham Platner shares way more information. Oh, please. I mean, do we already get enough? I mean, we all. We can't get that vintage of him in the towel out of our heads. Now we got to think about some sort of sexually transmitted disease that. He wants to talk about that while he is celebrating. An endorsement from. Yeah, Planned Parenthood.

[A]

But I'm stuck in colder weather. Maybe tomorrow will be better. Can I call you there?

[B]

She said,

[D]

everybody.

[C]

Talk about tmi. We thought we had seen it all from Maine's nipple Nazi, Graham Platner. From Reddit posts blaming rape victims, disturbing behavior in Porta Potties, credible allegations of abuse by an ex girlfriend, and that towel photo. Apparently all that wins you an endorsement from Planned Parenthood, who are throwing their support behind the scandal plagued Oysterman. And as it turns out, he's no stranger to their services. Watch.

[A]

I myself at a younger age received pre. What's the word? I get STI checks

[C]

at the.

[A]

At the Portland. At the Portland Planned Parenthood. And it's not an embarrassing thing. It's a smart thing to do, especially when you're younger.

[C]

Do you buy that he forgot the name of it too? Was that just all part of his ploy to make it seem cute?

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

I just.

[A]

God, the things they put us through. I was trying to think of what's a more unappealing combination than abortion and platinum. Okay, abortion, Platner and STDs. A Democrat trifecta. The only thing that's missing is, you know, him cradling a trans kid. I don't know. Are we sure Planned Parenthood doesn't offer free Nazi tattoos as well? He's like the gift to heinous men. This whole. Why is he talking about STDs? That's the question. The whole game of Planned Parenthood is to never talk about what it is which killing babies. 434,000 last year. A new record 34% increase over 10 years. And here I thought that Roe v. Wade was going to just completely end this. But no, they're just killing more than ever. Business is good and they don't want you to know that because $830 million of your tax money goes to pay for something that you find immoral and evil. I find it immoral and evil and my tax money is going to that. Lastly, I say this before, but this is a plea to Democrats. Why is Platner, a Nazi loving misogynist, still afloat? Because his policies are hard left. And in your existential, existential crisis filter, you believe if Platner loses, democracy dies. Because that's the reason for everything. They use it no matter what. All I ask is what if for like 10 minutes you just drop that delusion? If you just said, okay, this one thing that guides every one of my policy, it's stupid, insane allegiances goes away. What would happen to my brain? You will wake up from a blackout. You will go, wow, why am I making these dumb decisions? Why am I siding with a Nazi? Why do I actually believe men in dresses are women? How did I get to this point? It's this delusional filter that has made you go so far astray from your moral center. Just do it for 10 minutes, ask yourself what would happen if I didn't believe this and see what happens to your brain. Good exercise.

[C]

Not to put too fine a point on this, Martha, but I noticed in the video that the two men behind him didn't laugh or smile at all. And all the women Were like, the

[D]

women are all laughing. Like, he's just made this, like, really charming, cute joke. What is wrong? I don't understand this. I really don't understand this. And the people that you talk about, Greg, are the people who have elected Susan Collins over the years. I mean, she's had a lot of independent support in Maine. She's a moderate Republican. Most Republicans vote 100% of the time with President Trump. She's at like 94, which is very high. But he's given her a hard time for the times that she didn't do that. She's very independent, and she is the option for these people. And I think you're gonna see that, what he just said, you're gonna see it all over the Susan Collins ads, along with every. He has given her this list of things that you're gonna be blasted with in Maine over the next several months. Just to answer the question that Greg brought up, is this really where you stand? Is this really who you wanna support?

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Jesse is talking about one's STD is a good way to earn women's approval or vote in Maine.

[B]

You tell me, Emily.

[D]

The answer is no.

[C]

Hard no.

[B]

Obviously this guy thought he had one. Obviously this guy thought he was showing symptoms, so he got tested. It's nasty. I don't know anybody with an std. I don't.

[A]

You need to get out more.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

That's disgusting. I mean, that is disgusting. And what kind of STD is he talking about? Aids. The hell is he talking about? Syphilis. What a year are you in?

[E]

100 years old.

[A]

Well, syphilis is returning. Syphilis is returning?

[E]

Well, because of RFK Jr.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

Trump nailed him. This guy is a pig. P. I G. There's nothing cool about him. He's sick. I don't even want to go near this crab. Crab? He probably had crabs.

[D]

Speaking of crabs, oysters and crabs.

[A]

Oysters.

[B]

The oysterman hates crabs.

[D]

He's a shell fisherman.

[B]

Oh, man.

[D]

Oh, man.

[E]

Help us make sense of this.

[D]

Everyone is confused by this.

[E]

The point is that you can go to planned parent and see a doctor. That's the point that Graham Platner is making. It is not normal, Jesse, for you to not understand why people get STI checks. Especially.

[B]

What's sti? It's an std. Not sexually transmitted.

[E]

We say sti.

[B]

Don't, you know LBTQ plus infection

[E]

now?

[D]

Okay.

[E]

It's like anyway. And the point also stigma, is that, my God, Susan Collins puts herself out there and says, I'm so moderate as Martha pushed her on yesterday. 94% with Trump. If you are not happy with the direction of the country and you see that same old Susan Collins now votes with the.

[A]

You would vote for a Nazi.

[E]

He's obviously not a Nazi.

[A]

You are making excuses for a guy with a Nazi tattoo on. And you're Jewish. I have to point it out. It blows my mind.

[B]

You can't say Jewish. Greg.

[E]

You can't say Jewish about actions of the Israeli government. Why is this so hard for you to understand?

[B]

Why can't you talk about his STDs? I am not about Susan Collins.

[E]

It is the race is about Susan

[B]

Collins thought he had a sexually transmitted. So what? And told the whole country.

[A]

This is the greatest segment ever.

[B]

What a dumb guy.

[E]

Are you kidding?

[A]

No. I think the big.

[D]

The bigger thing is I don't understand how you can see that this is all of the.

[A]

All the. Of all of these practices at Planned Parenthood are going away. Except for abortion. All of these things that they offer in terms of screenings are in big decline. Look at the data. It's only about abortion and they can't say it.

[D]

And abortion has gone up.

[A]

Yes.

[D]

The Dobbs decision. Yes. All the people we were told weren't going to be able to get one. That's because of mythical are getting.

[E]

That is not because of what's going on at Planned Parenthood. That's because abortion pill. Do you know what that is? Yes.

[C]

It's via the mail ordering via mail.

[B]

It's legal in Maine and Planned Parenthood's

[E]

been Brett funded federally.

[B]

Just because even though she said she

[E]

was pro choice even involved deciding vote in abortion going away in many states.

[A]

You don't vote for Platner is what you're saying.

[E]

I'm not saying that I don't vote

[A]

and say I wouldn't vote for Platner. Say that I would struggle a guy

[D]

with a Nazi tattoo.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Wow. Jessica. Maybe you will burn that cross later.

[C]

All right guys. Coming up next. Snooty libs are losing it over World cup fans who actually like America.

[B]

Norway fans doing the Viking row in Times Square as the libs crash out over the sight of World cup foreigners enjoying America. The Atlantic writing this quote. The feel good story of the World cup is too good to be true. And some whack jobs rooting for Iran to win the World Cup. Jessica. It is nice to see all these Europeans who the Democrats admire for their socialism and great taste. Come here and love capitalism and American taste. Isn't it?

[E]

Norway isn't a socialist country. They just have health care and like, decent quality of life.

[B]

They call themselves a socialist country.

[E]

Anyway, I love it. The Viking army on the subway was my favorite though, how they were doing it there. I have full World cup fever. I sent you another post from that amazing Japanese writer talking about going to In N Out Burger. And he said, I don't know what this Give me the animal is, but give it to me. Stay forever. Stay forever and vote Democrat.

[B]

The Europeans can stay forever, not the black and brown people. That's very racist.

[E]

What I.

[B]

What about you, Emily?

[C]

I love them so much. I love the tartan army too. And I'm like, next to Team usa. I want one of them to win because I just love them so much. And also I love that everyone's happy. I love that in the city around here, there's good juju and like, there's not like you, J. You. And there's not like, I don't know, it's just all happy. It's like, it's like watching New York back in the day. You know, no one's getting like, beaten. It's like I'm just seeing them doing like, raw. Like, I'm like, yeah, I love it, I love it. I love them.

[B]

Do you have World cup fever, Martha?

[D]

Yeah. I mean, I think something's happening in the country. I think it started with the Knicks. I thought that the UFC event was very patriotic and well done. I think this is amazing. I mean, how, how sad and depressed you have to be at the Atlantic to not be able to look at this and just say, you know, this is great. People are feeling good. My favorite thing is the organic nature of the creation of Take Me Home, Country Roads as the anthem of the U.S. soccer team. Just came out of nowhere. I mean, apparently they had some song that they hope will be their anthem. People just singing Take Me Home, John Denver. I feel like I'm in like my parents car and like, you know, eighth grade going on a vacation. What could be better?

[B]

Greg, you into it?

[A]

I thought I had World cup fever. Then I went to Planned Parenthood. It's all good, but it's interesting. You know, our feel good stories are liberals feel bad stories. And I was trying to figure out what is a feel good story for the libs. That is when they can create a fake victim of American oppression and anoint them an award or a job or a role in a Disney film. That is their feel good story. Their feel bad stories are anything associated with our founders, our economic system, or any Evidence of prosperity or achievement. Somebody doing well. The world's first trillionaire very feel bad story. That's how I feel about it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sit.

[C]

Did you guys see that Seattle article where that guy literally wrote that he couldn't root for Team America, Team USA in the World cup because of Donald Trump? Like, that is where those libs are.

[D]

They were lied to because they said, all I see is ice in the newspapers and the media in Europe. And they're like, we got. We expected to be met by ice, but we weren't at all. They said, this is the America that we were promised growing up.

[B]

Aw, isn't that a sweet feel good story, Jessica? Say it.

[E]

Why are you guys acting like also, most of the people in sports media who are obsessed with this are liberals.

[B]

Okay, okay.

[E]

Sorry, that didn't help you.

[B]

[E]

You're not rude if you forget names the first time. Psychology says that your brain simply didn't encode the name before the conversation moved on because it's just not that interesting. This is a bit of a relief to me, Emily.

[C]

Totally. This sounds terrible, but here's the thing. This is where you can be rude is how you ask the person, remind me your name. So if someone forgets my name, no problem. But if you say like, what's your name again? Then I'm like, you can remember it. Or if they're like, I'm so sorry, what's your name? Then it's like, emily, and it's no problem.

[D]

Yeah, I think that thing works though, where they say to say it like three times in your head as you're looking at the person, because we all do it. But they do explain it perfectly because you're thinking about the conversation and then you realize, oh my gosh, they just said their name and I didn't get there. Yeah, what's your name?

[A]

Well, if I don't remember your name, it's because you were named incorrectly. So a Fat guy named Tim. Wrong. His name should be Bob. Obviously a skinny guy named Pat makes no sense. It has to be Jim. You know, slim vowels, slim names, pudgy body. Pudgy vowel.

[C]

Are we nature?

[A]

It's universal. People at home are going, finally. Thank you for saying what's been in my mind for years. Skinny guys named Pat.

[B]

What?

[C]

That's true. That's true.

[E]

Is that how you think about it too, Jesse?

[B]

Very closely. If I see a skinny guy and I forget his name, I just call him Slim. Yes, Just give him a nicknames.

[D]

There you go.

[B]

Like an Irish guy with red hair. I just call him Red. Hey, Red. And he thinks we're close.

[E]

One more thing's up next.

[A]

Days. One more thing. I go first tonight. Great show. Cat tip. Brian Kill Mead. Joe devito, Tom Salou. Lovely. Let's do this. Greg's Itchy Panda news. Well, this panda needs a handa. Take a look. Look at him. Oh, that's gotta feel good. They frequently scratch and roll in dirt, rub against trees to relieve their itchy skin and their flexible bodies. Martha. And long hind legs allow them to reach almost every part of their torso. Look at that. Oh, that's great. They also can grab sticks and twigs to pleasure themselves. Or scratch, rather. Yeah, and it repels bugs. Isn't that adorable? Too bad they don't. Jesse.

[B]

The Russian twist.

[D]

Exactly.

[B]

You know what that is, Greg? But it's an abdominal workout.

[E]

Exactly.

[B]

Tonight, Jesse Waters prime time, we have Kelsey Grammer. Also we have some video of some alleged vandalism taking place at the reflecting pool. 8:00pm alleged.

[E]

All right, you come from my canoeist, Jessica. All right. Puchella took place this past Saturday in Colorado Springs. Hundreds of dogs and their families gathered for the city's largest dog pool party. The dogs participated in diving as well as enjoying food and listening to live music. The event was a blast, I am told.

[A]

Martha.

[D]

All right, so one Vietnam veteran is proving why it's never too late to achieve your dreams. Almost six decades after he dropped out of high school, 80 year old Charlie Whaley. He served 23 years in the army in the Navy. Excuse me. And he just got his college degree in criminal justice, graduated cum laude. And I spoke with him today for the Untold Story podcast.

[E]

Watch.

[A]

My boys have degrees and you know, I kind of felt like the black sheep, so I said I'm going to go get me one.

[D]

Congratulations, Charlie.

[A]

Hey, Emila, do you have any birthdays?

[C]

I do. Everybody. A very happy birthday to Korean War US army veteran Salvatore Paldino, who just celebrated his 98th birthday alongside his family at a very special place, my dad's winery, where every row of grapes has a plaque honoring a US Veteran, starting with my dad. So that was him celebrating next to his plaque.
