Sandra Smith
All right, hello, everyone. I'm Sandra Smith along with Paul Morrow, Jessica Tarlov, Joey Jones, and Greg Gutfeld. It is five o' clock in New York City and this is the five, seven months in, and President Trump is making some big moves in America. But not everybody's a fan of. According to Gallups, 0% of Democrats are satisfied with how things are going in the U.S. compared to 76% of Republicans. Still, while Democrats refuse to give him any credit, one area stands out as a clear success, and that is crime. And if you want proof, just listen to the folks on the ground in D.C. talking about the surge of National Guard troops in the Capitol ever since.
Greg Gutfeld
Trump put out the law.
Paul Morrow
I say more safe, for more protection, police protection.
Joey Jones
People is not out as much because they are well. So I, I'm grateful for that aspect of it.
Sandra Smith
Even Democratic leaders seem to be envious of new suppression teams to tackle crime in his state cities.
Joey Jones
Crime is an issue and we want to tackle it and we continue to do more in that space. And we announced and highlighted some of the expansion. What is not contradictory, respectfully, is that we're doing it in partnership with our local communities. We did it in partnership with the Biden administration prior. We're not talking about the nationalization, the militarization of the Guard and militarizing United States cities.
Sandra Smith
A tough on crime stance is just the latest way Newsom has adopted Trump's style. But Vice President J.D. vance thinks voters can sniff out a phony.
Greg Gutfeld
He's not trying to be Gavin Newsom, whoever that is.
Joey Jones
He's trying to be a fake carbon copy of Donald Trump and it just doesn't work. You can't, you can't mimic the king.
Greg Gutfeld
You can't mimic the master. You ought to just go and be yourself. And I think that the American people would like that a lot more than a cheap imitation of the President.
Joey Jones
United States.
Sandra Smith
Can you fathom, Greg? Politically, why the heck would Democrats think that it's popular to say let's not crack down on the crime.
Greg Gutfeld
That's, that's they're figuring it out Trump is making the Democrats sane again. They really, they realize if they don't do this, he's going to lose. I got to talk about that. This is an amazing thing. I've never heard of a survey where it's 0% of anything. If you asked in the survey, would you like a spike in your eyeball? 10% will say yes. I mean, that's how it works. So what is this saying? This is like a huge, to me, like, this is a huge moment to, like, understand what's going on in the country. That finding is not logical, it's not reasonable, it's not sane. Yet there are millions of people who disagree with you in this country. You work with them, they're in your family. And in any other situation, in any other situation, you consider them reasonable and they support Trump and they're generally happy, or they don't support Trump and they're maybe they're not happy. But if you believe that no reasonable people can support Trump, then how does that explain the millions of reasonable people who do? There has to be something wrong with your filter. It's unreasonable, and it needs to be examined. How can you reconcile your reasonable employee, employee or co worker or uncle or aunt and his unreasonable support for Trump? It's not about Trump at all. You have to see that this survey is telling you it is not about Trump. It's. It's about a media that fuels your emotional state and a Democrat Party that created a terrible sin of ascribing moral virtue to political beliefs so you could categorize somebody as evil. Now, the crime stuff is great. Trump is killing it on crime, and the effect it's having on Democrats is amazing. He's actually getting Democrats to rediscover the whole point of leadership. It's not about politics or party. It's about people. Democrats put the party before the people survival of the party. But the party is just a necessary evil to create a structure for order. It's really about the people inside the party. What do they want? They want, you know, cheaper food. They want cops, they want a border. So they're starting to realize that they have to deal with the people first if they want to have political survival. And they wouldn't have done it otherwise if it wasn't for the Trump effect. Trump caused the surgeon, law enforcement. He's making Democrats sane again. And I'll take it. I won't even credit Trump. I will just say I want all Americans to be safe. I'm glad they're doing it.
Sandra Smith
You know, Joey Vance, J.D. vance, the Vice president, is accusing Newsom of being a cheap imitation of Donald Trump. Do you agree?
Paul Morrow
I don't know what he's trying to do. I mean, a lot of this is his social media team that he's put together trying to. And, you know, I guess he'll say that he's trying to mock President Trump. But I think there's something to be envied with the way President Trump has communicated, the way he succeeded. I mean, he's never been more Teflon don than he is right now today. I mean, he beat court cases, court rulings. It seems every day something is ruling in his favor, either personally or as president. So I think if you're a politician, you would be dumb not to want to capture some of the lightning in the bottle that President Trump has. But you can't do it by trying to be him. I mean, JD Vance is a great example of that. I mean, JD Vance is different than most politicians in D.C. but he's not Donald Trump, not even in a long shot. The best example I can give is my governor, Brian, when he first started running in the primary back in, I guess it would have been 2016, he had a couple commercials where he's like, he's in a room full of guns and he's got a guy there that's going to date his daughter. And then he had another commercial where he slammed the door on his pickup and he goes, I drive a pickup truck and I'll even use it to round up illegals. And it's like it was so fake that it wasn't his personality. It didn't do well. And then finally he just decided to be himself and he became the governor and he stayed governor. I hope every politician learns this. You can't try to be something you're not. And I think that now more than ever with President Trump, that's true.
Sandra Smith
Can sniff out a phony. Jessica, CBS News looked at the D.C. crime data amid these National Guard deployments. I mean, you can't argue with the numbers. It is working. Crime is down.
Jessica Tarlov
Absolutely. I mean, and there were two week periods, though. I'm sure Greg will jump in and say, but they were fake numbers. But there were two week periods in February and March, I think it was, where there were also no homicides. So numbers. But now it's real. Everything under Trump, I did it. Thank you. I appreciate it. I like it when we tag team anyway. When it's Trump's people, he believes the numbers. When it's not, he says that they're fake, but sure. And those interviews were, you know, not of the, the white hippies out in Georgetown or whatever they were, of minority folks, perhaps registered Democrats that were happy to see it, and we see that overwhelmingly in surveys that people do want more police presence. They don't want less, but they want it to be effective. And what will be most interesting is what happens when the 30 days are up, because Donald Trump is entitled to 30 days of this and then he has to declare a national emergency in order to continue doing that. And if he does that, I think that Muriel Bowser will be singing a different tune about it. There is a way to work together to be able to have more effective outcomes rather than the takeover. As far as the Gavin Newsom of it all, he is not imitating him. He is mocking him. He is holding up a mirror to what Donald Trump does and how he communicates. How ridiculous these three and a half hour long North Korean style cabinet meetings are.
Greg Gutfeld
Why was that ridiculous? You can't just say ridiculous and not say why.
Jessica Tarlov
Okay, if I came to a meeting, if your team for Gutfeld sat around, right, and you said, I have this idea for a joke, and they said, I have never met a funnier man than Greg Gutfeld. I think Greg Gutfeld is the funniest.
Greg Gutfeld
You have to watch it.
Jessica Tarlov
What?
Greg Gutfeld
No, that, that's voluntary. My point is every. If you watch that, you learned stuff about what was going in the White House in three and a half hours that you never would, but you're mad because they're flattering him.
Jessica Tarlov
No, I'm, I'm not mad. I'm saying that it is a particular style that most people would say most likely resembles things that go on in Russia, North Korea or China. Not in a Western democracy style. Okay.
Greg Gutfeld
No, also the God forbid, that style.
Jessica Tarlov
All right, I also need to say about this idea that Gavin Newsom suddenly cares about crime because of Donald Trump. He's imitating him. This partnership with California highway patrol is from 2023. So from the Biden era, it was effective. Then it was expanded that he has sent officers to Bakersfield, San Bernardino and Oakland. They've already made over 9,000 arrests, recovered 500 stolen cars, 400 firearms. This is not about Donald Trump. This is about a way to manage your own state without actually the federal government coming in and usurping the power of democratically elected leaders.
Sandra Smith
So Jessica says that Gavin Newsom is mocking Donald Trump, but maybe he's following his playbook. I mean, sending in more and more police into these.
Jessica Tarlov
I told you Right. He did it before Donald. Donald Trump is copying Gavin.
Greg Gutfeld
Well, then what's new?
Joey Jones
Why is he holding a press conference to announce this new initiative if it's been going on since 2023? What's the new initiative? What is it that he's announcing? This hasn't been going on. And let's just, let's look at the outbound migrations in this country. Okay? The top five states, New Jersey, Illinois, California, New York, Massachusetts, couldn't be bluer. Inbound. Florida, Texas, Arizona is the only one that's on fence trending red. And the two Carolinas in Tennessee, people are voting with. You can argue initiatives, you can argue crime numbers, they're going up, they're going down, etc. We all know they can be massaged. The bottom line is people in the cities who live in there, they know. We've talked about it on the show before. I called this constellation of blue cities a nut job archipelago. That's what they're becoming. They're becoming quarantine zones that everybody wants to get away. And what's infuriating is that we've been through this before. We worked it out. We figured out how to get lower incarceration, how to get better enforcement. We did it in New York City. It was copied globally and it worked. But they had to throw it out because of the fact that it came from the right, which just couldn't be countenanced. And this stuff about the National Guard. Let's correct a couple of things. Number one, Donald Trump can use the National Guard, where federal law is being impeded, where it's being obscured and being held back from enforcement by other people on the ground, namely the states. You can look at all kinds of historical examples for that. He has that metric. What they don't realize is when they say, we're going to stop this, we're not going to allow this to happen, they're playing into his hands because they're telling you we're going to obstruct federal law. We're going to make sure you can't enact federal law that gives him the window to send in the National Guard during, let's say, what was about a year ago when the New York City subways were even more uninhabitable than they are right now. Kathy Hochul sent in the National Guard. Nobody said boo. Why? Because there was no patina of orange man. Bad, of course. And you got Obama now weighing in like he's relevant anymore. And I'm sorry, but this ship sailed. You know, stay in, you know, Martha's Vineyard where they love you. But the bottom line is, not only does nobody care, but this is a guy who's saying that Donald Trump is weaponizing the military for his own purposes, and he's this fascist army. He's going to take over the country. Barack Obama droned two American citizens with no due process in Yemen, and he got the son two weeks later. Now, full disclosure, I supported it at the time because Omar Lucky was a bad guy, but Amarlaqi was born in New Mexico. All right? Nobody said boo. Everybody was fine with the fact. And then he gets the son two weeks later. The son was 16 years old.
Paul Morrow
The NSA, the IRS. I mean, he weaponized the government against United States citizens more than any president. Think about Lincoln.
Joey Jones
Think about this. Al Qaeda killed, let's say, 3,000 people on 9 11, right? And I don't need to hear anything about it. I was there, okay? I was there for the weeks after. I'm waiting to see if I get to get cancer. All right, fair enough. The thing is here, that would be the equivalent right now of what he did. That would be the equivalent of Donald Trump saying, okay, you killed 3,000. We lose 100,000 people a year to fentanyl. So I'm going to drone the leader of the Sinaloa Angelisco cartels. Oh, and by the way, I'm going to drone whoever's running the factories in Southeast China making fentanyl and other synthetics that are shipped to America that are killing all of these people. Now, if Donald Trump did that, the entire world would melt down, but that's the equivalent. And that's Obama now saying that Donald Trump is fascist. And again, just to play fair, I supported Obama at the time against a lot of other people. I said no, he was right. It comes under the authorization of military. It was a branch of Al Qaeda that was tenuous, but I supported it at the time. But the double standard is what drives me crazy. Donald Trump can do that. We're going to get to it later in the show. Donald Trump can do what he's doing with the National Guard here. And we're losing our cities and we shouldn't give them up to the crazies.
Sandra Smith
Great points, Paul. Appreciate your expertise on all of that. All right, coming up, James Carville going ballistic on his fellow Democrats after their latest woke insanity.

Paul Morrow
Saginaw Ojibwe Nation, and she's going to deliver our land. Acknowledgment.
Greg Gutfeld
Today, the DNC acknowledges and honors the Dakota Oyate, the Dakota people who are the original stewards of the lands and waters of Minneapolis.
Joey Jones
James Carville was going ballistic on the DNC over that atrocity that you just witnessed. They began their summer meeting with a land acknowledgement.
Greg Gutfeld
The DNC does not exist to right wrongs. It doesn't exist to acknowledge the more unpleasant parts of history.
Joey Jones
It doesn't exist to make people feel good.
Greg Gutfeld
It exists. Get this through your head. To win elections. Now, do you think that is going.
Joey Jones
To help us win elections by talking.
Greg Gutfeld
About land theft from the Dakotas? We're not. Please stop this in the name of.
Joey Jones
A just merciful God.
Greg Gutfeld
No. You don't have but one job, Ken.
Joey Jones
You're supposed to try to win elections. That's painful. And somehow it gets more embarrassing for the Democrats. The DNC summer meeting also introduced a fight song the party could adopt. We don't have audio of it, but don't worry, I will butcher it for you. Brace yourselves. D E M S we rise stronger together Blue skies lift your voice we're bold and true Onward Democrats we shine Blue Talk about North Korea. So listen, Joey, I gotta come to you as a veteran. Not exactly the holes of Montezuma there with that fight song. You intimidated? What are you making?
Paul Morrow
No, funny. You know, with James Carville, I don't know, maybe he's got the truth serum or maybe it's time for him to go out to pasture. He's just angry all the time. I don't think that appeals anyone. I think that. I think the funniest thing about this is, you know, this idea that Democrats still want to appease every single group they can and throw their big tent. And Donald Trump has taken the wind out from under the sails of that big tent. There are no more disenfranchised groups, people in this country than Native Americans. And we've talked them into doing it to themselves. So, you know, there's a lot there. There's a lot there you could fix or offer solutions to Native American people that live, especially those that live on reservations and have said, you know what, rather than going out pursuing the American dream, I want to stay on the reservation where at least I know there's a paycheck that comes in. And then things like alcoholism run rampant. There's a lot of problems there. But instead your way of addressing them is to patronize them about some myth of a stolen land from hundreds of years ago. I don't know if that's their is that's how they reach out to every group of people that have problems that need to be fixed. Maybe Donald Trump will be in for another term.
Joey Jones
So I think Carville's point, I think is well taken, which is that, look, you're not going to in a forum like that, you're not going to be able to relitigate the entire American Indian colonialism issue. What he's trying to focus on, Jessica, is winning elections. Right. And he doesn't want to re litigate that at this summer camp they held. So what do you think? Is this worthwhile? Is it working?
Jessica Tarlov
James Carville, or.
Joey Jones
Yeah, the whole thing, the idea of holding a summer camp where you're going to say, let's go back there.
Jessica Tarlov
There is no Democrat online or in the real world who is happy with what's going on at the DNC right now. And it's being reflected in the fundraising. I mean, the Republicans have an enormous advantage when it's DNC versus rnc. I will note on the congressional level, the DCCC is outraising the Republican arm, so really is a DNC problem. And Ken Martin was elected to this post. But there are a lot of people, I don't want to say they have buyer's remorse, but who are saying, well, Ben Wickler, who ran the Wisconsin Democratic Party, might have been a better choice for this because, you know, we had those 45 words that third way the think tank put out last week saying, you know, you shouldn't be saying those things. And they didn't even think that they had to say don't do a land acknowledgement. So it's this is the kind of stuff that I hate having to talk about. But this notion that Republicans are coasting right now and the wind is beneath the sails of Donald Trump is just not borne out by what's really going on on the ground. And you can see it just today that Joni Ernst is not going to run for reelection in Iowa. She is someone who is very popular. She talked about her leadership roles. Suddenly she's not going to run. And what's really interesting is earlier in the week there was a special election in Iowa state House, a seat that went with Trump 11.5 points, 20 point swing in the other direction. And now the Democrat has broken the Republican super majority. The polling on the generic ballot has Democrats up five to eight points. Mike Johnson and God bless him that he keeps going out there and doing media. He was embarrassed on our air with Bill Millucian and Dana this morning talking about crime in Republican states and he was on CNN and John Berman says to him, you know what are you going to do? The BBB is hugely unpopular, says oh well the provisions are. And then John Berman reads out the provisions cutting, snap, cutting Medicaid, tax cuts for the rich, all underwater. That is what the midterms are going to be about this. It's not looking that peachy for Republicans.
Joey Jones
So in other words, the, you're saying the DNC and this Ken Martin was kind of like the Barney Fife of Democratic leadership here. He's, he's the outlier. And really you're saying things are going well. This whole thing is performing.
Jessica Tarlov
Go back to what Greg was saying where you have 0% of Democrats that are happy with how it's going. They're going to show up and vote. That's what it's partizanship. It's pure partisanship. They will show up to oppose the Republicans and the Republican agenda which is going to hurt every day as they.
Greg Gutfeld
Embrace the pro crime.
Jessica Tarlov
Now.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, good for that.
Joey Jones
Great. Go ahead, take it on.
Greg Gutfeld
So, so this land acknowledgment thing is the perfect example of the virtue signal. It's words without deeds that is the Democrat Party. That's why you guys are in a shamble. Shambles. So this, this dork comes out and says we're doing this on stolen land. Well, great. Pack up and leave. You know, do it on a barge in the ocean. There's no, nobody stole the ocean do that. Oh no, no, no. The acknowledgment. That's the action that we're going to do. That's what we're going to do. It's the thought that counts. It's like a person who cuts you off and then waves at you. It's like I feel bad but not bad enough to stop. It's like if you're not going to do anything about it, why even bring it up, you dumbhead? You know, the Dems, they set themselves up as some impotent, like ineffective fool. They tell you right off the bat that they, that they're doing something wrong, but they're going to do nothing to fix it. It's a big fly around here, but it's how they handle crime, the border, trans. They do platitudes that keep them safe from guilt. But you got to ask, who is this for? It's not for Native Americans. Is it for Liz Warren? Maybe. Who knows? But it's kind of amazing that you don't have one Democrat that has the balls to say, just stop it. We've had enough of this. This is. By the way, this is why you don't have men in your party anymore. You just have fake men. Because this is so wimpy and so spineless that, like, if an activist demanded that you acknowledge the struggle of trans in the catering business before every meal, you would do it. I mean, we should start demanding Dems to do all sorts of acknowledgments just for fun.
Joey Jones
Can you imagine what the menu and activities were like at his DNC summer camp to vegan somoris? Sandra, what do you got on this? Nata?
Sandra Smith
With it, it's hard to question a fellow tiger, but James Carville, Isn't this what they laid out as the latest playbook from the dnc? It was to get out there and swear and cost.
Joey Jones
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fight, fight, fight.
Sandra Smith
Make fun. All this. I mean, I think that's what we just saw from him. I don't know if that anger works. It hasn't in the past for Democrats. But remember James Carville in the New York Times just a couple of weeks ago, maybe it was a month ago now. He was the one who penned the piece My Fix for the Confused and leaderless Democrats. So a month later, they're still not listening. But he said, Ken Martin, the dn, said, I'm tired. Sick and tired of Democrats bringing a pencil to a knife fight. He went on to say, we got to stand up and fight. This is more Donald Trump playbook, right? Fight, fight, fight comes to mind.
Jessica Tarlov
I don't know that the Democrats have.
Sandra Smith
Done any studying, and I don't know if they know who they are. And that's where we are.
Joey Jones
Well, it seems like the DNC is going one way and point to Jessica. The electorate's going the other. We'll have to see in the midterms. Okay, up next, Democrats are going way too far with their rhetoric. A lawmaker is calling for an uprising against ice agents.

Paul Morrow
Welcome back. The Democrats are putting a target on ice. Even as assaults on federal agents surge, the left keeps adding fuel to the fire with smears like this.
Greg Gutfeld
This is a time for good trouble. This is a time for Americans to rise up. This is not Germany. That's the SS in the Gestapo. This is the United States of America. Unmask yourselves. They look a lot like the proud.
Joey Jones
Boys of Trump's last term.
Paul Morrow
They're wearing masks, often wearing surplus military gear. Yeah. Despite all the attacks, ICE is getting the job done. DHS says they've officially deported nearly 200,000 illegals since January. And let me tell you, that's a lot of bad hombres. Greg.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes.
Paul Morrow
I want to go to you first because that last thing he talked about, the mask, said they look like the proud boys. Haven't we already learned that most of those were feds and that what the Internet says?
Greg Gutfeld
I can't answer that question because I'm currently under investigation, but I wish the Democrats would create a list of people, places and things that they haven't compared to Nazis. I'm sure you'd fit on like a business card. And again, I go back to the A block because I made such an important point there. And also, I'm running out of steam. Is this behavior logical? Is it reasonable? Clearly those people know people who work in law enforcement who are dice reasonable people. And yet you decry their behavior as Gestapo esque. How do you reconcile that? It's the most obvious question and we never ask it. We never ask it. It needs to be asked every day. If you know reasonable people in law enforcement, how do you equate them with Nazis? Is it because you're calling the ones Nazis that you don't know? Or is it because it exists in your imagination? Or is it because the two positions are irreconcilable and your filter is broken? They can't be decent people and Nazis at the same time. So just stop it, you Nazi.
Paul Morrow
What do you think about Sandra?
Sandra Smith
I'm glad you found something to say. So when you compare, and this is super serious, I think you cited the numbers there. When you compare ICE agents to Nazi Germany's secret police, you end up with targets on their backs, not just the backs of the ICE agents. And I know, Paul, you and I have talked a lot about this on our show. You're targeting the families you're targeting the children. You're targeting the spouses that go to work every single day. Todd Lyons, the ICE director, said in June that these activists are targeting the families, the children of these ICE agents. They are now facing an 830% increase in assaults as they are carrying out these immigration enforcement actions. That is their job, their legal job to carry out, and that has made them targets. And that's really scary stuff that's happening in this country right now.
Paul Morrow
Paul, the big topic that they want to attack are that ICE agents are wearing masks. And they'll say it's because you are literally militarizing people against us, trying to dox us, trying to hurt us. We cited the incidence of attacks on them, went up. You know, as a citizen, I don't like the idea of federal agents rolling up masks, doing anything, because I don't. I want to be left alone. But, you know, the idea is they're not. They're not doing this to American citizens. They're doing it to invaders also.
Greg Gutfeld
They're being called Nazis. Yes, they're being called Nazis. I would wear a mask if people were calling me a Nazi, because you know what? They're. They're putting Atari on their back and saying, how dare you put on a mask? No, I have to wear a mask because you're calling me a Nazi.
Joey Jones
Why would they? Why would they. Why is it such an issue? First of all, they're wearing vests and wearing other things that identify them as police. So this canard that.
Greg Gutfeld
Well, they know what.
Joey Jones
They were going to rob me.
Paul Morrow
That's BS they call it military surplus. Listen, the military doesn't buy that nice of equipment for us. That's not what that is.
Joey Jones
I know, I know. But, you know, I want to put all this in other. Because we've had this kind of a discussion before. Let me just say this. Why does it matter to them too much that they're wearing masks? That's a canard. Because obviously it's because they want their faces visible.
Paul Morrow
Yeah.
Joey Jones
Because otherwise, what would you care if they're wearing masks? All right, forget that for a second. I want to go back to something historical here. Just think again of the juxtaposition. I want to go back to something that is a tried and true part of the pantheon of the civil rights movement, which is very similar. 1963. George Wallace would not allow desegregation of Alabama. Alabama School. University of Alabama.
Paul Morrow
Yeah.
Joey Jones
So what happens? JFK calls in National Guard. All right, and there's that big stand in the Doorway moment. Wallace didn't want to let him in. And it was by executive order, by the way. Whereas in this case, Donald Trump has statutes behind him. JFK sends in the National Guard. Wallace get out of the way. He had to. The whole world celebrated that it was the right thing to do, legally. That exactly tracks to what Donald Trump is doing by using statute, federal statute, to send ICE in. And the fact that they're wearing masks means, oh, gods, it doesn't matter. All right? And we got to get past that part. As long as they're identifiable as cops, you lose this defense that. Oh, I didn't. I took a shot at the guy because I thought he was robbing me. That's all crap. It's not true, Jessica.
Paul Morrow
You know, the big beautiful bill is absolutely beautiful. One of the things it does is it took a lot of money away from people defrauding the government with social programs, and now we're able to fund I $75 billion. I mean, that's a pretty big deal, isn't it?
Jessica Tarlov
I mean, yeah, ICE has more funding than the idf. And look what the IDF can pull off. We know exactly where this administration's priorities are related.
Paul Morrow
Gaza. I'm sorry, go ahead.
Jessica Tarlov
I think that you would be very wrong to make that comparison. Listen, this idea that the agents have to be identifiable and you say they're all uniformed, that is not true. There are plain clothes cops. No, there are plain clothes ICE agents that are pulling people into vans. It has been documented. On top of it, the nypd, for instance, which you were a part of, has a policy against a masking. Right. They even have had a policy because.
Joey Jones
It'S New York City and it's been run by communists for the last 15 years. I mean, we never had that. There was a law in New York State that you were not allowed to wear a mask. And by the way, they want to.
Jessica Tarlov
Put that transparent policing. That's why we like the body cam.
Joey Jones
No, because you want to dox these guys, that's why. Of course it is. That's all it is.
Jessica Tarlov
You have a 3,000 a person a day quota, which has been Stephen Miller's directive, where he got up there and he said, you go to Home Depot, you go to immigration court, you go to church, you go wherever you need to go to get 3,000 people out of this country on a daily basis. Mistakes are going to be made and people are going to do things that they do not want to be.
Joey Jones
That's the argument. If they're letting 20 million in, that not to get them out.
Jessica Tarlov
20 million. No, worst. First was what we were.
Greg Gutfeld
You were against that happen.
Jessica Tarlov
No.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes.
Jessica Tarlov
I was not against.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes.
Jessica Tarlov
First. You and Joe Biden.
Greg Gutfeld
A good guy or a bad guy?
Jessica Tarlov
Well, it hasn't been. You haven't had much success proving that he's who you said he was. Everyone is calling him a trafficker. They haven't charged him with any of the things that you say that he did. Why not?
Paul Morrow
Yeah, they didn't get OJ either. Okay, the fastest is up next.
Jessica Tarlov
Yes, Kilmarber. My eyes, they're dry.

It'S the question that haunts travelers everywhere. How much underwear should you pack for your vacation? Travel experts say the rule of thumb is simple. Take the number of days of your trip and just add three. No, it's not enough. It's not. Sandra, how many pairs of panties are in your.
Greg Gutfeld
Why.
Sandra Smith
Why did I say that? You can never have enough. And what's the big deal? It doesn't take up much space in your life. Twice as much as you think you need.
Jessica Tarlov
But lady underwear is demonstrably smaller. I'm generalizing, Craig.
Greg Gutfeld
Well, I think it's. I look at it, fresh underwear, like having a handgun in your house. You may not ever need it, but when you need one, you're glad you have it. And when you. And we're talking about traveling. And what do you do when you travel? You walk an awful lot. And I think the medical condition is called monkey butt. It's not a bad idea to have an extra pair of underwear. I'll wear two at a time. And then I'll just, like, whip one pair off and just go with the other one.
Sandra Smith
Thank you.
Greg Gutfeld
You know what I'm talking about.
Jessica Tarlov
Just out at a restaurant.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes. Top them off.
Jessica Tarlov
You can also wash underwear in a hotel sink.
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, boy.
Paul Morrow
You can wash underwear in a hotel sink. I've done that before. You know, I used to buy all my underwear in packs of three, the same color. And what happened is I do travel a lot. I might travel to one city, pack up, go to the next before I get home. And if you ever wear dirty underwear once by accident, you don't ever want to do it again because even if you don't smell, you just assume you do.
Greg Gutfeld
You know what I do? I keep underwear in various parts of the city.
Paul Morrow
I'll Buy the silliest looking underwear. Just so I don't have two sets of underwear that looks the same so I can remember which one I've already worn, rather than having like a drawer full of black or white.
Jessica Tarlov
Paul, what's your panties such?
Joey Jones
Listen, you know, I used to be an inspector of police, and my life has really taken a strange turn.
Paul Morrow
That's a brief kind of job.
Joey Jones
This is. This is a very first world problem is all I could say. All right. And not only the fact that somebody wrote about this, but they quoted an expert. There is an underwear on your trip. Count experts someplace out there, like, how did.
Paul Morrow
It's a subset of gender studies. And, you know, it's. They. They do it.
Greg Gutfeld
I think I need an extra pair.
Joey Jones
Of underwear after that last block, actually. Listen again. You think the Ukrainians are worried about how much underwear they have? This is something that happens is a summer story.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah.
Joey Jones
As you always say, this is something.
Jessica Tarlov
This is better than Shark Week.
Greg Gutfeld
But, you know, we should have underwear week next week. Yes.
Jessica Tarlov
Oh, it'll be after Labor Day.
Joey Jones
It'll be great.

Jessica Tarlov
To ban everything FaceTiming on the street.
Greg Gutfeld
Ooh, that's a good one.
Jessica Tarlov
I hate it. And I hate when you have that conflict when someone facetimes you. Like, my kids will call and I want to see them, but I'm like, I can't do this to everyone, and I'll probably get hit by a car. You know, you just walk around like a zombie.
Joey Jones
Joey.
Paul Morrow
Speed limits. I'll just get rid of them. Make everything the Autobahn.
Greg Gutfeld
So you would make speed limits illegal?
Sandra Smith
Yes.
Greg Gutfeld
Interesting.
Paul Morrow
You almost like you legalize at least, like, stoplight cameras.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah.
Paul Morrow
That give you tickets. Like, if you're not taking some personal risk to give me a ticket. I don't think it's right.
Greg Gutfeld
Interesting.
Sandra Smith
Don't come to me next.
Greg Gutfeld
Paul.
Sandra Smith
Geez.
Joey Jones
So what did you say? Reading the phone on the street.
Jessica Tarlov
Is that what you're FaceTiming?
Joey Jones
All right. Yeah, same thing. What? This is a real New York problem. But if you're walking on the street and I guess probably Happens in the other big cities as well. You'll have a whole block of people behind you who are ready to murder you because you're doing this, and they can't get around you. Should. That should be mandatory urine, Jill.
Jessica Tarlov
Okay.
Sandra Smith
Clipping your nails in public transportation.
Jessica Tarlov
Oh, yeah.
Sandra Smith
I can't even tell you how many times I've been in my life on a train or a plane. Oh. Even the sound of it.
Joey Jones
Mm.
Greg Gutfeld
I'm gonna. You know what I mean? This is a Greg problem. But I am so tired of reading fake stories about me, like, with fake pictures. Like, how does that happen? They, like, have a picture with me holding a baby that's not my baby. And then, like, somebody that looks like my. It's like, I don't know how you can get away with that.
Paul Morrow
Or they'll make like. I have book biographies out there about me.
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Those are on Amazon. Yeah.
Paul Morrow
Yeah.
Greg Gutfeld
Here's what. Here's another. We have time for another one. What is one superpower that you wish you had for 24 hours?
Sandra Smith
Cure illnesses.
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, you're so wonderful.
Sandra Smith
Yeah.
Greg Gutfeld
Wow, that's nice. Wow. Can't do anything better than that, Sandra. Joey.
Paul Morrow
Maybe be like the Flash. You know, be able to run again.
Greg Gutfeld
Aw. Now I'm really depressed.
Paul Morrow
Jessica told me in the break that that's what I should.
Jessica Tarlov
Jessica, thank you for your service. Joey. First of all, I want to cure disease, too, but I really would love to be able to fly like myself, not, like, in a plane.
Sandra Smith
I want to help people. And you want something for yourself. Jessica.
Greg Gutfeld
Wow. Typical liberal.
Jessica Tarlov
I'm just joking with you, Jessica. I had a bad couple days there to lay off.
Paul Morrow
She would use it to fly people over the border.
Greg Gutfeld
I know. Teasing you, Paul.
Joey Jones
I. I've never gotten past being 13. Invisibility. That's a good one for all the operations.
Jessica Tarlov
Wow.
Paul Morrow
Creep.
Greg Gutfeld
Trying to think. What superpower do I not already have?
Paul Morrow
Yes, Reaching on the top shelf.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes. The ability to stretch so I can grab things and not be humiliated. When I ask my wife, even though I have a stepping stool, I have a stepping stool, and I still can't reach things. And she will just walk over and grab it and bring it down. And I tell her, why do you put stuff up there like paper towels?
Joey Jones
I've seen this. And then she won't give it to you?
Greg Gutfeld
Yes. She'll hold it over my head, and I have to dance like a little dog.
Jessica Tarlov
That's what Friday night is in your house.
Greg Gutfeld

Joey Jones
Check out these.
Greg Gutfeld
These are some Asian elephants, Brazos and Travis at the Fort Worth zoo. Check out the junk in that trunk. You know, they like to play, they like to frolic in the water and sometimes they'll even bathe themselves. You know, they act like no one's watching, but secretly they get off on it. They're perverts, these elephants. Stay away from them. You'll never know what they'll do to you.
Sandra Smith
All right, all right. From the zoo to the plaza, a very special reveal of the sand sculpture in Fox Square today to celebrate Fox Weather's new logo and brand campaign for all seasons for all America. Sand artists have spent the last four days creating this four sided sculpture. It features Greg, Abraham Lincoln, the Liberty Bell stars and stripes with the bald eagle and Fox Weather's new logo.

Greg Gutfeld
Spell Sandra without sand.
Sandra Smith
Love that. All right, Jessica.
Jessica Tarlov
Okay. If I had known we'd have time, I would have my. You go girl Nexio. But you go girls. Hundreds of women showed up to try out for the women's professional baseball league in Washington. The tryouts were held in in partnership with the Washington Nationals and where the first trials in more than 80 years since women played professionally during World War II. League of their Own. One of my favorite movies Trailblazing new league is set to make its debut in May. Greg will be a season ticket holder.
Paul Morrow
Are they going to immediately go on strike? So they get paid the same as professional male baseball?
Jessica Tarlov
I'll get back to you next week on that. I just do a check in.
Joey Jones
Any one of those teams can beat the Mets.
Paul Morrow
Don't talk about the Braves right now. Listen, this is a really cool story. Another Florida story. There was a Burmese python and part of the Venom team had to go and remove it from a tractor and trailer. This is a really unique thing for the rest of the country. In Florida, this is just a regular day. They have pythons and iguanas all over the place down there. They actually have a python roundup where you get paid to go out and kill them and bring them in. But yeah, just think about it. Go to Florida. You hear a bunch of people with Long island accent and a bunch of Burmese pythons. That's what Florida is right now.
Joey Jones
They like the heat. They go in the engines for the heat. That's the rats do in New York. They go into the engines for the heat and they eat the wiring and all that. All right. Am I up there?
Jessica Tarlov
Yes.
Joey Jones
All right. In Cape Coral, Florida, at 2am Kyle Myvid got a burglary alert. Left out of bed in his Batman onesie and went full dark night. This look familiar to you, Greg?
Paul Morrow
Yes.
Joey Jones
He caught the guy sneaking into a neighbor's garage, grabbed him by the shirt and wrist and held him until the cops arrived. After a quick photo op with police, Batman went back to bed and joked about adding crime fighting to his contracting business. And this just in. After the photo came out, he says, I should have let that guy just rob the house.
Paul Morrow
Yes.
Joey Jones
I can't believe that that photo was out there.
Jessica Tarlov
It's cute.
Paul Morrow
That's what it said.
Greg Gutfeld
There's a. It's a grown man wearing Batman pajamas. There's something about this story they're leaving out. Yeah.
Joey Jones
You know what it is?
Greg Gutfeld
What?
Joey Jones
That's not his house. See, he just breaks into houses in Batman uniform.
Sandra Smith
Oh, gosh.
Paul Morrow
Waits on a burglar.
Greg Gutfeld
All right.
