Dana Perino
Optimism isn't sunshine and rainbows. It's fixing things. Changing things. Changing the way we fix things. Rolled up sleeves, breaking through growing power.
Greg Gutfeld
To meet growing needs. Working to run the world on smarter.
Dana Perino
Energy every day taking power where the.
Greg Gutfeld
Grid'S never been, then getting up and doing it again.
Dana Perino
Because if optimism never stops, then change can't either. GE Vernova the energy of change.
Greg Gutfeld
Change. Hi, I'm Greg Gutfeld, along with Kennedy, Jessica Tarloff, Jesse Waters, and in high school, she was voted most likely to be carried away by a carpenter ant. Dana Perino, the Five. Happy Labor Day weekend, everybody. And what better way to celebrate than looking at my beautiful face? We're going to yap about topics like why Democrats hate America, Zoran's commie takeover, and why did Jesse suck on a pacifier? All of life's mysteries will be solved on today's special. But first, we are answering your fan mail questions. I have them right here. I'm so excited. A little blue cards that match Dana's jacket. The first one comes from Angela H. What was your best summer job as a teenager? Let's start at the opposite end of the table. Greg, it's you, Kennedy.
Dana Perino
You had it.
Greg Gutfeld
I mean, your summer job had to be MTV.
Dana Perino
Yeah, I didn't start till I was 20.
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, OK.
Dana Perino
But yes, that was amazing. But when I had just finished, Nick Muse, manager in Portland, and he managed Portland bands at the time. Portland had a great scene and I got into all the rock shows for free, which was a dream. Come.
Greg Gutfeld
Best rock show you saw at during that time?
Dana Perino
Oh, great question. Probably gbh.
Greg Gutfeld
Gbh? Interesting.
Dana Perino
What's that?
Greg Gutfeld
It's a drug. Okay.
Jesse Waters
It's a date rape drug.
Greg Gutfeld
That's really what it is, I hate to tell you. All right. Jessica, did you.
Dana Perino
I can't remember.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah. Did you have a summer job or were you one of those rich liberals?
Jessica Tarloff
No, I had one.
Greg Gutfeld
What was it?
Jessica Tarloff
Thank you. I worked flipping burgers. There was a stand outside of a restaurant in my neighborhood that they set up like a summer stand and I was the burger girl. And it was a good way to learn how to cook a little bit and chat with the peoples. I had a great time.
Greg Gutfeld
Too bad you don't still serve up red meat. Jesse, did you work as a teen?
Jesse Waters
I did with my hands. And then I got a job interning at the New York Stock Exchange.
Greg Gutfeld
Really?
Jesse Waters
So I'd go in and one of my main jobs was to go for the CNBC hits live on the floor. And I just go make sure the guy was in position. And then I'd go back upstairs, and I saw Maria Bartiromo, and. And she was there, and everybody called her Money Honey. And then later, we worked together at Fox News.
Greg Gutfeld
Wow.
Jesse Waters
Isn't that great? I actually work with Money Honey. And I've been working with Money Honey for all these years.
Dana Perino
I need to correct the record because I introduced you to Maria Bartiromo at the correspondence dinner, and you said to her while we were working her, and this was just a few years ago, oh, the Money Honey. And she was not terribly.
Jesse Waters
Oh, does she not like that name?
Greg Gutfeld
No, she doesn't like it at all.
Dana Perino
I don't know. I've never called her that name.
Jesse Waters
You've never heard the name of my life.
Dana Perino
I've never heard it. I've never called her that for her face.
Jesse Waters
We can say Money Honey now. Trump's in office.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes, Dana. Yes.
Dana Perino
I worked at a. I think it was an insurance company. But the great. This is the best part. My dad worked across the street, and I was a Nepo baby. He helped me get a job across the street. And then we would. We would commute in together, and then he would take me to lunch every day. And it was a really good special time.
Greg Gutfeld
Talk about a glamorous Nepo baby.
Jesse Waters
Yeah.
Greg Gutfeld
My dad got me in an insurance job. Yeah, I don't know if that qualifies. I had two good jobs. I interned at Motion Picture Advertising. So I got the screenings of movies. But I also was a pool monitor in high school, which is a lifeguard instructed not to save people.
Jessica Tarloff
Wait, what?
Jesse Waters
What were you there for? Then?
Greg Gutfeld
I just watched the condo pool, and on my first day in the job, they said, if you see somebody drowning, don't do anything. What? Because we don't have the insurance. You're not a lifeguard.
Dana Perino
You're like a security giving you a policy.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, that.
Jesse Waters
I got a security guard at Walmart. Arrest anybody.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes, that's exactly what I said. I got yelled at for bringing girls to the hot tub, smoking cigarettes. Boy, I was a bet. I was a bad boy back then in Foster City. All right, Bob G. Asks, what movie could you watch 100 times and never get tired of it? Let's go this way, Dana.
Dana Perino
Oh, there's a few. I mean, I like all the ones from the 80s. I like Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I'll never. I could always watch that, like, Scent of a Woman. That's a good movie. Coming to America, though. That's a great show. I love that one.
Greg Gutfeld
You like that one?
Dana Perino
Well, I don't want to watch, like, Peter could watch Casablanca every night, and I just can't.
Jesse Waters
I. When I see Goodfellas or Casino. Yes. I just. I kind of stop everything I'm doing and watch those movies. Who were those guys in those movies again? Was it Robert De Niro?
Greg Gutfeld
Yes. Joe Pesci.
Jesse Waters
And Joe Pesci. And then who was the guy that was always like, is it not Angela? Come on, Karen.
Greg Gutfeld
Come on, Karen.
Jesse Waters
I like Ray Liotta.
Greg Gutfeld
He died recently. Great guy.
Jesse Waters
God rest his soul.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes, he did. Jessica. Yes, he did.
Jessica Tarloff
Pretty Woman.
Dana Perino
Yes.
Jessica Tarloff
Poker with a Heart of Gold. No, Better.
Greg Gutfeld
They always do.
Jessica Tarloff
And the Fugitive, which I think I've discussed with you guys before.
Jesse Waters
You know what?
Jessica Tarloff
I cannot turn that movie off.
Jesse Waters
We agree on both of those, Jessica.
Jessica Tarloff
And on Ray Liotta.
Jesse Waters
God, this feels good to agree with you.
Jessica Tarloff
Kennedy, lean in. Let's do it more.
Dana Perino
Let's do it more. Let's do it live. Fletch. The Godfather. Crazy Rich Asians. Bridget Jones Diary. Bridget Jones.
Greg Gutfeld
I never got through Crazy Rich Asians. That was a movie I saw on a plane. I'm gonna go with Last Tango in Paris. But just one scene.
Jessica Tarloff
No.
Greg Gutfeld
I'm gonna. Do you know what? I'm gonna say something new. I saw Eddington. I've seen it now twice this week, because not two, but the last couple weeks. I have to keep watching cuz I keep finding things in it. I suggest everybody see Eddington.
Jessica Tarloff
Do you think in 10 years, when you we have fan mail, you're gonna say Eddington still?
Greg Gutfeld
Or you're gonna say woman? It's a pretty engrossing film.
Jessica Tarloff
I mean, now that I've watched it, that is Deliverance.
Greg Gutfeld
Debbie asks, any of you ever have a holiday barbecue disaster? And what happened, Jesse?
Jesse Waters
No, but I dodged one. On Sunday, I had Emma's parents over the house and I had all the steaks marinated and the burgers are ready to go. And I ran out of propane as the food was on the grill. But because I'm so smart, I had Sent Emma out to get a propane tank earlier in the day. So I did the switcheroo. Yeah. I sent my wife out to get.
Greg Gutfeld
I'm going to. I'm going to have my.
Jesse Waters
In the general direction of where they sold it.
Greg Gutfeld
I'm going to jump in here. I wanted. I was having a barbecue and I was out of propane, so I wanted to get my propane tank filled. So I go down to the hardware store on, I think it's Broome street, and I go, do you have propane? And they go, yes. And they come back with this little thing. A little can, a little can. I go, no. I mean, I'd have my big joint. No, that's illegal. And I go, what? And he goes. I go, I can't use this for my barbecue. And he goes, I know. And then they just walked away.
Jesse Waters
You can't barbecue in Manhattan.
Greg Gutfeld
No, you can't.
Jesse Waters
So what were you doing? Illegal barbecue.
Greg Gutfeld
Of course. Not anymore. Of course. I'm a law abiding citizen, Jessica, not disaster.
Jessica Tarloff
I'm just always disappointed when I go to one and I don't love the food. And everyone is talking about how good they think everything is and you're just wondering if they actually agree with you that it's terrible. You know, like overcooked burgers, like too many mayonnaise y salads. You know how I hate the mayonnaise based salad.
Greg Gutfeld
Typical. You hate everything white.
Dana Perino
Kennedy, I love me some coleslaw and potato salad. The more mayo the better. Thank you. I'll take it. We had a fist fight almost break out at a fourth of July party. Come into the house. It was a party full of cops. And he barged in and it was 11 o' clock at night. It was not an obscene hour. And 4th of July fell on a Saturday that year. And he demanded that we shut the party down because it was too loud and he couldn't sleep. And he had about 15 cops run over to him and be like, actually, you're trespassing right now and we could arrest you. Are you ready for a fun and interesting night? And he was like, no, thank you. And then we played the theme from Deliverance.
Jesse Waters
Wow.
Greg Gutfeld
And that person was Brit Hume. Hard to get up early in the morning. Dana. Me and my good friend Juan Williams Small Fox News Sunday with the lovely Molly Hemingway. How about you?
Dana Perino
I don't think we've ever had like a barbecue. We had a propane situation one time that was bad. But the thing that came to mind was years ago when Jasper was a Tiny puppy. Ari Fleischer invited us up to his house and so he said, bring the dog. I'm like, are you sure? And I said, yeah, you could bring the dog. Dog was very tiny. And I'm trying to be hospitable. I'm trying to be nice. That dog fell in the pool and he was like nine weeks old and he couldn't swim. So then Peter had to get in the pool, and I felt like that was a little bit of a disaster.
Greg Gutfeld
That's not bad. The last I got stung by a hornet and my hand blew up to the size of a catcher's mitt.
Jesse Waters
Why does that make me happy?
Greg Gutfeld
I don't. That was two years ago, Labor Day.
Jesse Waters
Oh, you sent me that photo. Yeah. Where your hand looked like a Hamburger Helper.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, it looked like a giant hamm last time I had a drink. See, that got me to quit drinking was the giant hand. What's this from? Algae. What's an outdoor game you played as a child that children no longer play?
Dana Perino
Tetherball.
Greg Gutfeld
Tetherball.
Dana Perino
Yeah. My dad made us a tetherball in the backyard.
Greg Gutfeld
There's no tetherball leagues.
Jesse Waters
Leagues.
Jessica Tarloff
No, there's like the. Oh, there's T ball. Not tetherball league.
Dana Perino
Tetherball was great. Teddy Lundarts.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes. Those were so much fun. Darts was awesome until Uncle Billy got blinded. See Uncle Billy kind of asking for it. Yeah, you don't kneel before and go get it over here, Greg. Great eye patch, though. What. What do you say?
Jesse Waters
Croquet?
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah.
Jesse Waters
Yeah, we used to play a lot of croquet. Yeah, people don't do that much anymore. Now it's in this country. Cornhole.
Greg Gutfeld
Cornhole. Exactly. Jessica, what did.
Jessica Tarloff
I don't know if it. If people still do it, but I used to love three legged races.
Dana Perino
So far in the tail and the donkey.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, like don't.
Jesse Waters
Don't say it. But.
Greg Gutfeld
I'm trying to think what outdoor game we used to play. I guess it's doctor. We don't play doctor anymore. All right. I used to be called Van Doctor. Drive around in a van. Coming up, President Trump brings back love for America and Democrats hate it.
Jimmy Phelim
Today's special is sponsored.
Greg Gutfeld
This is Jimmy Phelim inviting you to join me for Fox Across America where we'll discuss every single one of the Democrats dumb ideas. Just kidding. It's only a three hour show. Listen live at noon Eastern or get the podcast@foxacrossamerica.com.
Dana Perino
Red, white and breakdowns. Liberals spiraled over celebrating America this summer.
Greg Gutfeld
Watch here Here's a shocker. The party that burns the American flag isn't a fan of Uncle Sam. According to the latest Fox News poll, 36% of Dems say they are proud of the country today, while 85% of Republicans are, are bleeding the red, white and blue. And Harold, I feel for Dems because if you've been told by universities and the media that America is a land of oppressors tormenting the oppressed, then patriotism would be merely supporting that ideology and therefore you cannot be patriotic, can you? Even to ask people to be patriotic in a poll is offensive, right, Harold?
Harold
No. So I'm a. I think I'm more patriotic than a guy who thinks many people who think they're really, really patriotic. I love my country. I love everything that we're about. We have fallen short in many instances. We've exceeded in many instances. What really bothers me in this poll is that gen zers across the board and we did a thing on gen zers yesterday, they're more despondent and depressed and down on the country than any other group. Part of me thinks it's because both of us, both parties are hypocritical. We did a segment yesterday. Democrats cannot give President Trump credit for the border success. Can't give him credit for knocking out or at least setting back the Iranian nuclear ambitions. That has to be on people's minds.
Dana Perino
One thing that was interesting to me is something you brought up is that the Republican pride in America doesn't change.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes. Even under the opposing presidents.
Dana Perino
And there's probably something to that. It's one of the reasons, I think that parental accountability and parental ability to see into what's happening in the schools is really important because it's not just starting at the universities. You have like land acknowledgement, things that are happening in elementary schools and things like that. In addition, I would say this. If you live in America, you won God's great lottery. Because the question is, are you proud of your country? As compared to what? One of the things that all these liberals are upset about is that these illegal immigrants would be sent to third party countries. Terrible places. They don't want them to have to go to the terrible places. Why do you think the people wanted to come here in the first place? I think the question should be it deserves a follow up. As compared to what? My last thing is they think that they would rather go to Europe. Okay, well, do you want to be taxed by 60% and live in northern Europe or do you want to live in Spain where You get taxed a lot and you have 21% youth unemployment. They have such a dismal situation in terms of entrepreneurship that they don't have any ability to pay for their NATO dues. And now you also have a situation where all of Europe wants to tax American companies extra for digital taxes because they have no innovation of their own. So I would just ask them, as compared to what? Like, where would you actually rather be?
Greg Gutfeld
We're going to put up a beautiful.
Jesse Waters
Flagpole and we're going to put up a flag. Somewhere in this group is somebody that.
Greg Gutfeld
Is going to captivate some movie producer. Not Harvey Weinstein. Let's have a good. They call it a lifting. They also use another word, but I'm not going to use that word. You know what that is? The word?
Jesse Waters
It starts with an e. You know.
Greg Gutfeld
What the word is? If I ever used it, I'd be run out of town. Any illegal immigrants in here?
Jesse Waters
Now, if they were, they'll find out.
Greg Gutfeld
They'll be checking you.
Jesse Waters
You won't believe your whole life will be destroyed because of this press conference. I was the hunted and now I'm the hunter. This president has done major renovations, Katie. He's not only put in a flagpole, he's putting in a ballroom and he's putting a golf simulator in the residence. Now, I did a deep dive on White House renovations. You know what Biden did? Oh, did one renovation.
Greg Gutfeld
A nap room, chair lift.
Jesse Waters
I'm gonna need one eventually. He doubled the size of the White House fence. The one guy who like blew out the border doubled the size from 6 to 12ft.
Greg Gutfeld
First, Barack Obama.
Jesse Waters
You know what Barack Obama did to the White House? He put in a garden. Well, his wife put in the garden. He put solar panels on the roof. And then he took the White House tennis court and put basketball on the side. President Trump holding a big, beautiful military parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the army. While the no kings anti Trump protests brought out millions of cat ladies and Woodstock era boomers. This lady was running around in whatever the heck this is. These children are smashing the snot out of a Trump pinata. The Democrat speakers just as unhinged.
Dana Perino
Together we build a future of opportunity.
Jesse Waters
And justice for all.
Harold
When I look at my phone or the news the world around me me.
Greg Gutfeld
We'Re holding on for dear life.
Harold
We have a king and his court and his beige henchmen and they're trampling out our rights.
Jesse Waters
They're coming from the heart. These are people that are speaking their truth. And it's not about insulting the president. It's about letting people know who they are and where they come from.
Greg Gutfeld
We have a supreme constitution.
Jesse Waters
We don't have a supreme leader. We have no dictators here. We have no kings. Greg, how would you assess the no Kings protest this weekend?
Greg Gutfeld
I thought it was a rage of success. No kings, you know, but it's. It is amazing that they create. It's again, another delusion that they create in their heads that doesn't exist. We do not have kings here. If they had been. If we had kings, you wouldn't have had the march because you're cowards. So they're protesting something that doesn't exist. So it's easy then to claim mercy. Now look at Canada. They had a no Kings day, but they changed the name to no Tyrants.
Jesse Waters
Oh, because they have one.
Greg Gutfeld
Because they have a king. There is courage. There is courage. Oh, it would have meant something if you had no King's Day because you have a King Charles. But no, you didn't want to piss off the king, so you changed it. Meanwhile, what a contrast. We have a military parade where 250 years ago we got rid of a king. And on the same day, you have this astroturf cosplaying circus of people pretending that there's a king. Hallucinatory drama. Meanwhile, you know, in dc, they're actually commemorating getting rid of a real king. Imagine all the time wasted. All of these old people that are so scared, so scared, they have to go and protest. They have. Maybe their family isn't talking to them. I don't know what's going on, but they go out and they think they're doing something. It's sad.
Jesse Waters
Randy Winegardner seemed very peeved. Dana, do you think she'll be okay?
Dana Perino
I think that. Look at, like she's. She will defend anything except for K through 12 education. And it drives me insane. I think the media was really disappointed that the military parade was a military parade. Like, they wanted something different. They wanted North Korea. They wanted. And then belatedly they thought, oh, I guess France has one of these things. And I guess, oh, I guess that other. Oh, the UK has one too. And they're also super surprised.
Harold
I think the fact that the no Kings rally can coexist with a rally commemorating the bravery and history of the United States army is nothing more than a testament to the greatness of our freedom. The fact that everyone could complain as long as you do it peacefully and state their case is a wonderful, wonderful thing. I didn't not watch President the military parade, Mr. Trump's military parade, for any reason other than I was busy. I salute and believe that the United States army is the greatest fighting force to ever exist and the freedoms that I enjoy because of it. Also happen to agree with the premise of what they talked about, the no kings. I don't want a king either. Now, I might not have done it quite the way they did it, but anybody watching, this is what democracy is built on, the hopes and aspirations of people. So I don't mind this. I just think it's a testament to the strength of the country that we can coexist.
Dana Perino
Coming up on our Labor Day special, socialists take Democratic cities by storm. Nope.
Harold
Hey, I'm Trey Gowdy, host of the Trey Gatti Podcast. I hope you will join me every.
Jesse Waters
Tuesday and Thursday as we navigate life together and hopefully find ourselves a little, little bit better on the other side.
Jimmy Phelim
Listen and follow now at fox news podcast.com.
Dana Perino
I'm Gillian Turner from Fox News in Washington. The five continues in a moment. But first, this special report news break for you. Over 80 Russian drones were launched overnight across Ukraine. This after a weekend of airstrikes. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant telling FOX News all options are on the table to get Russia to negotiate an end to the war. And this desperate Afghans are clawing through rubble after an earthquake killed some 800 people in the eastern part of the country. The Taliban government says that quake has left over 2500 people injured as well. And the Justice Department says all the Guatemalan children who were set to be deported back to their home country are now in the custody of the U.S. government. Federal Judge is blocking their deportation. I'll be back for SPECIAL report live at 6pm Eastern. Welcome back. It's a hot commie summer and Democrats are seizing the means of your sunscreen. Watch this.
Jesse Waters
Zoran the destroyer is about to give Karl Marx a woke makeover if Democrats can't stop him from becoming the next mayor of New York City.
Jessica Tarloff
Well, no, I don't think Mamdani is the leader of our party or AOC is the leader of our party. And I should note as well that Schumer and Jeffries congratulated him. They didn't endorse him. The problem is going to be that Adams and Cuomo can't both be in because they're going to split the moderate vote or the anti Momdani vote.
Dana Perino
I think it's not great when a communist is one a heartbeat away from being the mayor of America's Largest city in the financial heartbeat of the world. I don't think that's good. I think it's coming to cities near everybody else. And if you have mayors like Brandon Johnson, who has a 7% approval rating in Chicago, obviously there's a long way to go between now and then. But he is charming. He knows how to communicate very well. And I think the young people who don't understand what socialism really is, and they're not that afraid of it, and they're paying 70% of their salary to rent. I get it. I understand, like the Republicans or somebody or Eric Adams has to say, I'm here with better ideas for you. And so far I've not seen that.
Greg Gutfeld
One thing is, he said, globalize the info. Tata. How can a Jew in New York vote for a guy who says that? That's like Harold voting for a guy who pledges to bring back slavery, Jim Crow and blackface. So if you're Jewish and you're living in New York and you vote for that guy, don't talk to me.
Harold
I'm not for him. I didn't vote for him. And I find him to be offensive, largely for the reason that Greg mentioned. I don't know how you can't say that you're against globalizing the intifada. I think you made the right analogy. He said he has friends that for some people, that means something different. Does bringing back slavery? Can you say you don't or against that? Do you have friends that are somehow another on one side of that or another? I do understand, as I've said before, the affordability issue here in New York is a real issue.
Jesse Waters
I am not defunding the police.
Greg Gutfeld
I am not running to defund the police.
Jesse Waters
He's changing his mind on fundamental, critical things that are the pillars of civilization. We have a clip of him saying prisons are obsolete. He wants to abolish prisons. We have a tweet of him saying that we should get rid of all guns. So he wants to destroy the Second Amendment, the border capitalism, prisons and the police. These aren't new ideas. These aren't creative ideas. These are the same dumb Marxist ideas that we've been hearing for decades. And it's just destruction. And at a certain point, you have to think democracy is not a suicide pact. Right? We're just not going to allow a faction of radicals in a great city like this to come in, elect the guy, and have it destroyed. What kind of democracy is that? It's not tolerable to do that. This guy is now running Like Kamala Harris with a beard.
Dana Perino
Compared to what Mamdani will be, not what he could be. Cuz this is not theoretical. He has telegraphed exactly what he wants to do with the city. And if his policies take hold, he will run it into the ground. He will make the Blasio look like Rudy Giuliani. And you know, this is the bad kind of transformational.
Jesse Waters
AOC hosted a breakfast with Zoran the Destroyer. Let's call it coffee with the Commie. Dem's lined up the schmooze with the radical who could be the next mayor of New York City. And from the looks of it, he's already made some comrades.
Jessica Tarloff
When people get to know him as.
Dana Perino
A person, when people get to know us as real people, they. What they find kind of surprises them. He's bringing anybody who can see the reality of the success of his candidacy and his campaign together. It's just beautiful to have someone who is so authentic. You know, that's Money cannot buy that.
Jesse Waters
This guy is not a communist. He's not a socialist. He's an advocate for small C capitalism.
Dana Perino
Those members that you saw came out the front door, the aoc. And Mamdani left out the back door. Right? He doesn't want to take any questions. Debbie. No, I can't remember who it was. Was it Debbie Dingle? Or maybe it was Freya Paul who said people just need to get to know him better and then they're going to like him better. Okay, well, here's the thing. His meeting with business leaders, Wall street guys did not go well. And that's where he's pledged to stop saying globalize. The intifada. It wasn't because it was like at the meeting with the Jewish community. And that meeting didn't go well for him either. So I'm not buying it that the more you get to know him, the more you actually like him. I think that the more you get to know him, the more you are maybe terrified.
Greg Gutfeld
Here's the problem. I would be for this guy if he walked the walk. He doesn't. He admits that if he wasn't working, it wouldn't matter because his parents would support him. They held this event at a private space. It's a very swanky club. I checked it out on the Internet. They wouldn't let me in. Shouldn't they be doing this like as a bag lunch at the dmv? I mean, isn't that how he envisions the way we should be eating at this place? They have a Wine of the Month club. They have a golf tournament. These are basically country club socialists. This is how socialism can exist because they're exempt from the actual results of it. But he speaks to the rise. His rise speaks to the hollowness of the current party. You know, all it takes is a young, charming leftist to win you over.
Jesse Waters
Is this what the party should look like?
Dana Perino
Yes, you bet. The Democratic Party needs to stand up and be clear. We are the party that fights for affordability for working families. That means child care. That means housing. It means health care.
Jesse Waters
When Liz talks about affordability, you got to look at what this country used to be for most of the last century. A dad could have one job, could have a house, his wife could take care of the kids at home. And then we sent all the jobs overseas right at the same time all the wives started joining the workforce. And then we started spending gazillion dollars and bailing things out and going to war. And then we wondered why everything became so expensive. Child care is really expensive because everybody wants to send their kids to childcare because both parents are working. So the demand is through the roof. That's why it's expensive, because wages have flattened out, but demand for child care has gone bonkers.
Dana Perino

Watch Rosie o' Donnell ditching the US For Ireland in the wake of Trump's victory. But she did prove that self deportation could work, right?
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, they'll find out soon enough. When she gets there and eats them out of house and home, they never give you the real reason why they're leaving. Like Ellen DeGeneres says she was going to London because of Trump. No, it's because she was a monster and everybody hates her. That's the same thing with Rosie. You know why she's leaving, right? We know why she's leaving. Come on. We know. It's literally an ego trip. Once you beat once, nobody likes you. You just leave.
Dana Perino
So when are you leaving, Jesse?
Jesse Waters
I actually respect what's going on with her. God, come on. She's the only celebrity that actually put her mouth where her foot is during.
Dana Perino
His first go round. It was very difficult and I got myself into some bad places. You know, I was very, very depressed. I was overeating. I was over drinking. Coming to Ireland was totally a way to take care of myself and my non binary autistic child.
Greg Gutfeld
Yikes.
Jesse Waters
So, Dana, you have been around politics most of your adult life, and I have never seen you unwell or needing to be carried off to the insane asylum.
Dana Perino
You know what's interesting is I always feel like politics might be what I do, but it's not who I am.
Greg Gutfeld
Right.
Dana Perino
And I enjoy politics. I like learning about it. I like policies. If politics makes you that miserable.
Jesse Waters
Exactly.
Dana Perino
Then you should move to Ireland. But here's the other thing you should do. Don't go on the podcast.
Jesse Waters
Exactly.
Dana Perino
Stop taking the media requests and actually take care of yourself and your child.
Jesse Waters
So, Jesse, at the risk of getting you fired, do you have any advice for Rosie? Yeah, I would keep doing this because we're using it at 8 every day of the week. The left likes to make heroes out of broken people. And if you look around at all the people they put on a pedestal, I mean, a lot of them are in prison, a lot of them have disfigured their bodies. She's obviously psychologically wounded and getting a lot worse, but I need her to continue because we do waters cooler on Wednesdays. You do it every night and you need material. I usually like it when she has a squirrel. I feel like it's getting sadder and I actually start to feel sorry for her.
Greg Gutfeld
Even you.
Dana Perino
I feel like she could be.
Jesse Waters
Even I feel sorry for her.
Dana Perino
It's like you could interview her for the next version of Get It Together.
Jesse Waters
So, Jessica, some of my favorite people are people I disagree with almost all the time. Like, seriously, what's wrong with her?
Jessica Tarloff
I don't know. I feel really bad for her, though. Not to make this about my TV consumership, but this season of and just like that is the worst season of television. People who love the show, like me, want it off the air, and she was a part of that. And so that is what makes me angry at her.
Jesse Waters
Emily, any health advice for Rosie o'? Donnell?
Dana Perino
Look, Rosie, move on. Some people are annoyed lately that, you know, oh, you left, you abandoned us, and now you think you can still talk about. I'm like, I'm still an American citizen and I always will be, and it is my country, and I love my country, and I'm devastated by what's happened to it.
Jesse Waters
All right, so the Constitution clearly says you can revoke someone like Rosie's citizenship without any justification. Am I wrong? Yes.
Greg Gutfeld
She won't say it.
Harold
Be succinct here and get to the next issue.
Jesse Waters
Let me ask it a different way then, Harold. If she is clearly a threat to humanity, then this is a United nations situation and the United Nations War Crimes Tribunal can bring action. Am I wrong?
Harold
There you are again. I'm just different. I just think when politicians and people. You don't punch down. There's no doubt. Rosie o' Donnell says terrible things about President Trump and vice versa. He has said terrible things about her before he was president. The great thing about our nation is.
Jesse Waters
That we can do that. I try not to punch down Dana, but then you run out of people to punch.
Dana Perino
Yeah, it's hard for me.
Jesse Waters
I know.
Dana Perino
For you, I mean, that's just like punching children.
Jesse Waters
Some deserve it. Just ask the judge for kids.
Harold
Oh, my gosh.
Jesse Waters
Rosie o'. Donnell. Should we be too? Bummer.
Dana Perino
Well, here's the thing about her. So she left because she said she couldn't just. She couldn't take it anymore and she wanted to go have a quiet life in ire. No, that's not what happened. She became much more relevant because she left. And the attention that he's throwing her way keeps her. Like when I said Pac man last week. She keeps eating all the dots and she gets another man. And here she is, she gets to continue to be on TV all the time. She's not laying low. She said, I just wanted to lay low. No, you didn't, obviously, because you're accepting every media invite.
Greg Gutfeld
Punching down is a myth. Never, ever let anybody say that to you. Because generally. I'll tell you why. Because generally, they're of the mind that the person you're talking about has some kind of aggrieved status. But when you're a part of an aggrieved group, you actually have higher status, which means you can make fun of the white guy at work, but you can't make fun of the lesbian at work. No. Everybody's game, especially celebrities. Specific celebrities. Their status makes them targets.
Jesse Waters
Up next, we're going to have a little fun around the table on our Labor Day special.
Greg Gutfeld
You've done so much, Pops.

Welcome back. I get my fair share of hits, but not every second of the show is a liberal bash fest. In fact, we like to mix it up.
Jesse Waters
Watch.
Jessica Tarloff
From playgrounds to processors, a disturbing new study reveals that lonely kids are replacing real friendships with AI chatbots.
Greg Gutfeld
When I was a kid, all I wanted was a robot. Like when you were a kid, it was like, can I get a robot? You would actually buy toy robots. Now you can have a frickin robot in your house. And we're going, oh, it's dangerous. Look, I had three older sisters, they weren't talking to me. If I needed advice from an older sister, they would give me the wrong advice. Like if I liked a girl, they go, oh, you got pimples.
Dana Perino
Shut up.
Greg Gutfeld
A robot AI guy would say, hey, you go to your AI. How do I want to get Missy to pay attention to me in class? AI will tell you what to do.
Jesse Waters
Jesse Jr. Tried it. I let him talk to one of these bots. Two weeks later, doorbell rings, I open the door. It's a Russian mail order bride. He ordered a Russian mail order BR scam. Don't let your kids talk to these people.
Jessica Tarloff
He just bought what was in your card.
Harold
Are you always running late? Experts say a mental health condition called guess what? Time blindness could be to blame. This condition disrupts a person's ability to estimate how long it will take to complete tasks affecting everything from daily routines to long term productivity.
Dana Perino
I don't think it's a good idea to add another condition to all the problems that people have out there. Just be on time or be late and suffer the consequences. I don't care.
Harold
Mr. Gutzel, you seem to have the closing thought on this.
Greg Gutfeld
Look, you know I only believe in what I see. I don't see time. I mean, can you see time? Can you grab it? How do you know time even exists? Maybe being time blindness is actually being able to see the world for what it is. We're the ones who are the slave to this artificial construct called time. Oh, it's 9am Is it really 9am who tells you it's 9am oh look, it's getting dark. Oh, that means it's changing in time. Who's the crazy person now?
Jessica Tarloff
You run your husband's social calendar. The New York Times is warning about the pitfalls of wives acting as social secretaries or man keeping explaining that the term describes the work women do to meet the social and emotional needs of their men and men in their lives. From supporting their partners through daily challenges and inner Turmoil to encouraging them to meet up with their friends. Dana, this sounds like with someone.
Dana Perino
No, here's the thing. I think Peter would probably say, okay, here's the thing. I would love for Peter to say, guess what? I called Paul and Joan. They're coming down for the weekend and I got reservations at the club. We're gonna go at 7 o' clock and then we're gonna do. But before he can do that, I've already done it. So it's like I don't even give Peter a chance.
Jessica Tarloff
Peter needs a chance, Greg.
Greg Gutfeld
You know, imagine this story in reverse. A male author writing about how to endure his woman's mental health and her daily struggle. You'd have to imagine it because it would never be published, especially in the New York Times, who last week did a piece on how hard it is to date men. Now it's how hard it is to keep men. What's next? Next week it's going to be how hard it is to bury them in your backyard. New York Times. You're the reason why everybody's all screwed up.
Jessica Tarloff
How does the social calendar in your house work? Jesse?
Jesse Waters
I control the big stuff, the trips and such, but she does little things. But the other day, all of a sudden she was like, let's go to the beach this weekend. And we went to the beach and had the best time. So now I'm thinking about giving her a little more freedom this weekend. She can plan whatever she wants.
Harold
Thousands of stressed out young adults in China now spreading to the US are apparently relying on pacifiers to soothe themselves from the stresses of life. TikTok is blowing up with clips of folks and their binkies during burnout situations.
Greg Gutfeld
Stress is just anxiety, which is a fear of inconvenience. And if you need it, if you need a pacifier because you're being inconvenienced, oh, I've got a final the next day. I don't want you around me. I hope you choke on it.
Jessica Tarloff
Dang.
Jesse Waters
Well, real, real stress is like when they draft you and they send you to a jungle in Nam.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes.
Jesse Waters
Kill VC with a new gun you've never shot.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes.
Jesse Waters
And then some guy hands you some dope and the next thing you're hooked on the juice and you're going to Cambodia trying to score your own stash. They send you back and then they spit on your.
Greg Gutfeld
Maybe.
Harold
If.
Jesse Waters
No.
Greg Gutfeld
Surprise.
Harold
Better.
Jesse Waters
I feel better.
Dana Perino
Special delivery for a scumbag. Residents of a building in Studio City, California, getting sick and tired of having their mail stolen, allegedly by a Freak who snagged a mail key.
Jesse Waters
So, buddy, you like to steal mail?
Harold
You like to steal mail?
Jesse Waters
Yeah. You like to steal mail?
Greg Gutfeld
Huh? Huh? Huh?
Jesse Waters
You like to steal mail?
Greg Gutfeld
You like to steal mail?
Dana Perino
Mother. One thing I'm curious about is what sort of mail are they still getting? Because when I get the mail, I just throw it on. Yeah, but I'm assuming he's looking for cash, right? Or checks. So this is another reminder to a certain relative of mine. Don't send cash. I'm just kidding. I don't get cash anymore. But used to, right?
Greg Gutfeld
It was from your grandparents birthday cards.
Dana Perino
And it always had like little colorful envelope so they would know. I mean, that obviously doesn't happen anymore. But there is a. I remember reading a book about. It was fiction, but it's based on a true story. But somebody in England who had this problem of like wanting to take people's mail and then hoard it. And it was like a real power trip. So I think this guy is probably looking for money, but I also wonder if something else is going on.
Jessica Tarloff
Up next, what discontinued thing would you like to see brought back? The answer when we come back on our Labor Day special.
Dana Perino
The Future of Downtone.
Jimmy Phelim

Greg Gutfeld
We got a few more questions on this Labor Day. This is an interesting one from Mary. What is a discontinued thing you would like to see brought back and why it's almost a throwback entity to your lawn darts response in the A block. But is there anything you'd like to be brought back? Joe Biden. He's been discontinued.
Dana Perino
Thoughts and prayers. God rest his soul. I would like to be able to meet my family members at the gate at an airport. Yeah.
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, my God. Yes. Oh. Remember that?
Dana Perino
Like old signs and stuff when someone got right off the plane, you can't do that.
Jessica Tarloff
Or your parents could drop you off, like if you were flying by yourself.
Greg Gutfeld
Wow. What about you?
Jessica Tarloff
That's a good one. I was thinking much smaller than that. Like it was just a stylistic thing. But I used to really like those seatbelt belts that were stylish when I was a teenager. So I would like those to come back. That wasn't what the question was.
Greg Gutfeld
Jesse, what would you like to see brought back? And please don't say Jim Crow.
Jesse Waters
I was gonna say candy, cigarettes.
Greg Gutfeld
Ah. You can still get those.
Dana Perino
You can get those.
Jesse Waters
You can still get nostalgia stores.
Greg Gutfeld
You can get them online.
Jesse Waters
You know a guy. Yeah, let me know.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, yeah. They give you cancer and cavities.
Dana Perino
Dana the penny.
Greg Gutfeld
You're the only person who would say that.
Dana Perino
I couldn't think of anything.
Greg Gutfeld
Why? Because it's a small coin for a small person. You know what? I. I watched. I watched so many 70s movies. Watch those movies and see what's missing. Like you can actually. I watched a movie. Oh, man. What was it called? The Parallax View. Warren Beatty gets on the plane and buys his ticket.
Dana Perino
Oh, wow.
Greg Gutfeld
He gets on at the last minute. He walks up and gets on the plane.
Jessica Tarloff
That actually could happen.
Dana Perino
Yes.
Greg Gutfeld
Used to be able to buy your.
Dana Perino
Ticket on the plane like you do on the train. Yes.
Greg Gutfeld
All right, that's enough. Good movie, too. Well, that's it for us. Have a great night. This is Jason Chaffetz from the Jason.

Dana Perino (on living in America):
“If you live in America, you won God's great lottery.” (13:17)
Jesse Watters (on NYC politics):
“We’re just not going to allow a faction of radicals in a great city like this to come in, elect the guy, and have it destroyed. What kind of democracy is that?” (23:37)
