Key Discussion Points & Insights

---

1. Trump’s Crime Crackdown in DC (00:34–04:33)

• Crime Statistics Cited:
  Dana Perino opens by touting a murder-free streak in D.C. and a thousand arrests since Trump sent in strike forces, tying the results to new executive actions targeting cashless bail.

    • “I don't quite understand why these Democratic leaders feel so strongly about sort of selling out all of their residents in order to just have the President look bad.” [03:54]

---

  • Illinois Governor Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Johnson publicly oppose Trump’s suggestion to send in the National Guard.
  • Tyrus ridicules the opposition:
    • [04:42] “This is a 99.5 to 0.5. How can you, with a straight face, say, no, we don't want low crime… If you don't like it, what's not to like? Other than you have to tip your hat to the orange devil.”

---

3. Political Framing and Democratic Reaction (06:27–09:26)

• Strategy and Optics:

  • Jesse Watters describes a media backlash but shrugs it off, suggesting Trump’s “Epcot Center” approach is appealing because of its order and security.
    • [06:35] “Axios… said that Trump is molding D.C. into his own personal Epcot Center… If the President wants to make these cities look like Epcot, I'm for it.”

• DNC Meeting Mocked:

  • [14:34] “The Democratic brand… has about the appeal with the American voter as the Cracker Barrel rebrand has with the American consumers.”
  • The group lampoons “woke” gestures like land acknowledgments and fixates on Democrats “doubling down” on failed ideas rather than learning from defeat.

• Bill Maher’s Critique & “Class President” Analogy:

  • The hosts cite Maher’s jokes about Trump’s ability to win over average Americans with practical, relatable promises.

    • [16:22] “While Democrats offer up high-minded intangibles… Trump says, hey waitress, how’d you like to pay no tax on those tips? He got the TikTok vote, the crypto bro vote, the tech bro vote…”

    • Trump’s take: [26:13] “They think he's going to be good for votes and I think he's very bad for votes. These people are deranged… He's mauled his wife.”
  • Panelist consensus is strong: defending notorious criminals on procedural or ideological grounds is political poison.
    • [26:53] Harold: “This should not be the sword that we fall on… This is not where and how we should be talking about immigration policy.”

  • The crew laughs about a progressive candidate’s (Zahran Mamdani) embarrassing attempt at a bench press challenge, using it as a metaphor for “winging” policy on the fly.
    • [35:07] Emily: “You could see by his wrist placement, he's never even done one before… he’s all about the gimmick.”
    • [37:20] Harold: “I call it the winging it campaign is what this guy's running.”
  • The hosts warn that such stunts distract from serious problems like New York City’s crime and economy.

  • Tyrus frames the reaction as a universal, non-political “grandparent problem.”
    • [40:02] “This has nothing to do with the LGBT community or Snoop lashing out… This is what happens when grandpa takes grandson to see a movie and he didn’t proofread the movie.”

Transcript

[A]

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile.

[B]

Now, I was looking for fun ways.

[A]

To tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal.

[B]

So there goes my big idea for the commercial.

[A]

Give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront payment.

[C]

Of $45 for a three month plan equivalent to $15 per month. Required new customer offer for first three months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks busy. Taxes and fees extra. See Mintmo.

[D]

Hello, everyone. I'm Dana Perino along with Emily Campagno, Harold Ford Jr, Jesse Watters and tyres. It's five o' clock in New York City and this is the five. President Trump turning up the heat on crime in D.C. and the numbers are speaking for themselves. So for the past 11 days, there has not been a single murder in our nation's capital. Police have racked up over a thousand arrests and 49 homeless encampments have been cleared. Now the President's looking to keep that momentum going. He just signed an executive order to stop the revolving door of repeat offenders taking direct aim at cashless bail.

[E]

You look at the top 25 cities that for crime, just about every one of those cities is run by Democrats. And you know one of the bad things they did, cashless bail. If you look back on time, when they allowed a murderer out that afternoon, you know he'd kill somebody. And then a couple of hours later, he's walking the streets again, oftentimes killing.

[D]

Again rapidly near you. President Trump sees the D.C. crime crackdown as a successful model for other blue cities. And earlier he threatened Chicago that it could be next.

[E]

I have some slob like Pritzker criticizing us. Before we even go there. I made the statement that next should be Chicago. Because as you all know, Chicago is a killing field right now. And they don't acknowledge it. And they say we don't need him. Freedom. Freedom. He's a dictator. He's a dictator. A lot of people are saying maybe we like a dictator. I don't like a dictator. I'm not a dictator. I'm a man with great common sense and I'm a smart person. We may wait, we may or may not. We may just go in and do it, which is probably what we should do.

[D]

But Chicago's leaders are not taking Trump's law and order proposal lightly. Illinois Governor J.B. pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson, both blasting the idea of the National Guard in the Windy City going to remain firm.

[F]

We'll take legal action.

[B]

But the people in this city are accustomed to rising up against tyranny.

[A]

I am on the path on the lakefront at 6am on Monday.

[F]

It doesn't feel like a hellhole here.

[A]

In fact, everybody's having a great time and enjoying themselves.

[D]

So, Emily, at 6:00am on a Monday on the waterfront in Chicago, it doesn't look like a hellhole.

[C]

That's right. And that's.

[D]

What a surprise.

[C]

Exactly. And that's the problem, is that when they try to gimmick in response to what is actually sincere and deep appreciation for American safety, then it's always going to fall flat. And I want to point out a little bit because all of this cashless bail that the President is trying to end, I want to talk about that specifically because it's a precursor to a lot of things. And in Texas, just in the Houston area alone, over 200 cases of low or no cash bonds who got out, they assaulted or killed someone. In Harris County, Texas, 115 residents killed just in one year alone. These are all of the people that get out with that low or cashless bail. And when you talk about deep statistics on the $0 bail, 70% are rearrested. Now this is in Yolo County, California, which is where I'm from. So I took it as a, as a statistic that's important. In Northern California, those kinds of suspects are nearly three times more likely to be rearrested for violent crimes, including domestic violence. And a third of those violent re arrests are for dv and it goes on. So I don't quite understand why these Democratic leaders feel so strongly about sort of selling out all of their residents in order to just have the President look bad. I understand that there is federalism issues and that's why there will be a difficult time imposing an EO on what is traditionally obviously state and local realms crime. But at the end of the day, it's up to these guys in the state and local level to vote this cashless bail out, to make it known that everyone supports these kind of policies that the President is putting down because it's the state and local residents that are paying the price for the Dems not seeing this.

[D]

And Tyrus, getting the Democrats to defend basically lawlessness in Chicago by saying they're going to take legal action to stop it is a little bit of dissonance.

[F]

I keep trying to find the opposition argument to this because, Jesse, I think you coined the phrase 80, 20 argument.

[D]

Yeah, that'd be Jesse.

[F]

Jesse coined the phrase. You should probably trademark that. This is a 99.5 to 0.5. How can you, with a straight face say, no, we don't want low crime. We don't want American soldiers coming in and helping our depleted police force. Whether you like it or not, good, bad or indifferent, you had 10 million undocumented people coming to this country and spread variously all through the country. Everyone who traveled saw the, you know, the midnight. We can't get red eye flights, but they were getting red eye flights to all over the country. And now we had defund the police. We had don't respect the police. We had massive police retirements. Police officers, they go out, they arrest the guy, an hour later, they got to rearrest him. So the police department is depleted. And here is the next bet. If I was in the White House, this is one of the first things I would do. Clean up your streets. Instead of sending our military men and women out to other places to make other countries safe, make our streets safe. How is this an argument? If you don't like it, what's not to like? Other than that you have to tip your cat your hat to the orange devil. That's the problem. Then you know what? Find a way, like, steal it and make it your own. Like, no, you will not bring in 1500 National Guards. We will only allow 1,200 and then call it a victory. Clean up your neighborhoods. Leave the politicians out to go out on the ocean on the waterfront at six o' clock in the morning. But notice he wasn't filming himself. I wonder who was with him. Perhaps his detail.

[D]

Right.

[F]

You know, like, this is, this is laughable. Clean up your cities.

[B]

I don't understand it, Jesse.

[D]

The fight against crime has been one of the best. Let's see what Trump can do to put out some bait and see how many Democrats will take it.

[A]

Yeah, they're falling into a trap. And so Axios, disparagingly, Dana said that Trump is molding D.C. into his own personal Epcot Center, a political theme park where troops keep the peace in the White House. Glitters like Mar a lago. What's wrong with Epcot Center? I love Epcot Center. I got food poisoning eating there. But it was safe and secure and beautiful. And if the President wants to make these cities look like Epcot, I'm for it. The guys now in D.C. are carrying, I think, 9 millimeters and M4 rifles, and they're letting the police, police go into the bad neighborhoods and get the Bad guys. That's not controversial. That's like what happens when you usually have a strike force come in and take scalps. The New York Post had some crazy examples of some of these people that got off on bail. They had two convicted killers arrested in Greenwich Village, down where my friend Harold Ford Jr. Lives. They were trafficking drugs in the park and they let him out for free. Or they have a pickpocket guy, he's been busted 45 times. 45 times. And he just gets let out every time. They arrested a Trent De La Gua gang member, Dana, am I saying that correctly? Wanted for homicide. They arrested him, no bail. So that's just crazy. And everybody agrees. They're saying this is not a top issue. Crime was a top issue in November. Crime was a bigger issue than foreign affairs and the deficit. So if Trump is manufacturing a crisis, homicide is not a crisis. This culture war the Dems tried to wage with like trans and race doesn't stand a chance when it comes to crime and immigration. And it's not only good for policy because obviously saving lives is important. It's great politics. You're going to send ICE guys to cities and you're going to send National Guard to cities and you're going to go city by city, week by week and you're going to force the Democrats to defend crime and illegal aliens over and over and over again. Now, a majority of the crime is black on black and I don't hear any black leaders besides Harold Ford, Tyrus and myself talking about the need to reduce crime in these neighborhoods. Where is Barack Obama? Homicides exploded under Joe Biden in his home city of Chicago, not Honolulu, Chicago. And he didn't say a word. It went from 600, 700, 800. Barack said nothing. What about Al Sharpton? Al Sharpton was sitting cross legged at Martha's Vineyard next to Joy Reid the other day. He never talks about black on black crime. Donald Trump should win an NAACP Image Award if he can clean up. Don't laugh. If he could clean up these black communities because it is a real, real problem, he can put it next to the Nobel Peace Press.

[D]

Harold, is anyone wrong? Do you see it a little bit differently?

[B]

I don't. It's good to be back around the table. I agree 100%. I'd be a supporter of President Trump getting that award. Let's step back. We deserve a lot of credit around this table for encouraging the president to do this. I think the U.S. attorney there obviously is a big instigator of these things. Ms. Pirro, our friend. But we've been saying for a while the president should sign an executive order ending Cassius Bell. They obviously have. As, as Emily rightly pointed out, the federal government has a different relationship with Washington D.C. and can do these things. Two, what I don't understand, both sides seem to revel in trying to blame the other. Democrats, Republicans, everybody probably deserves a little blame here. Maybe one party deserves more than the other. But if I were the president, you can do this in Washington and you should absolutely do it. In fact, I hope you send the National Guard to neighborhoods where there are, where the black on black crime rate is higher than it should be, where it's tragically high. Send it to every neighborhood, not just to neighborhoods where a couple of middle class, middle class people hang out and have dinner and socialize and go to clubs. Send it to all the neighborhoods. I'm a big believer that any politician, black or white, that resists that. To your point, Tyrus is foolish, is playing a dangerous and ugly kind of politics. For those Democratic governors who say, well, we can't go to the White House because he's not going to be on a level with us. Remember this? President Trump less than three weeks ago called for the firing of the head of Intel. He said that he was a China might have been too close to China. Today it was announced that the president, with that same CEO, still the head of intel, that we, the American people, were going to invest about $12 billion and take a stake in the company. President Trump can be persuaded. He welcomed Vladimir Putin to Alaska to try to deal with Ukraine. Let's go to the White House and figure out what is it that you need as governors of all these states. I think Governor Moore, who I think is doing a great job in Maryland, invited the president to come to Baltimore and walk the streets with them. I hope they are able to do this because Tyrus, to your point, these are real problems that real people in real neighborhoods are experiencing. Can you imagine if they went in and figured out how to break these gangs up, how to break the mafia up in these cities? And they were working with local law enforcement and working with the governors. And if the governors, to the president's credit, if they choose not to be helpful, I'm one that says send them anyway. Because if you live in a neighborhood where crime is rampant, where violence is rampant, where you fear for your life, you don't really care what the Democratic governor or the Republican governor or the Democratic mayor or the socialist mayor, what they may be saying. You want your neighborhoods to be protected. So I say more power to you. I just hope they're able to collaborate and work together.

[F]

Piggyback real quick. They do realize that if you clean up the crime in these cities, you bring businesses back, you bring mom and pops back. You get actual grocery stores where the kids are no longer in grocery deserts. You fix a community by protecting it. It's.

[B]

It's the guy in your chair most nights. Greg Guppel deserves a lot of credit because he's been asking for the President to sign an executive order to do this. This is A good start, Mr. President. Hope you keep going.

[D]

All right, up next, the Democrats head to summer camp and Tim Walls got really mad.

[B]

Think of how easy it would be.

[F]

To be a damn Republican.

[B]

Oh, what, what should I wear today?

[F]

This stupid freaking red hat?

[A]

I'm not here to save you.

[B]

I don't have a plan.

[D]

If you're an illegal alien.

[C]

Record low approval, dried up fundraising, and millions of Dems fleeing to the gop, just how much worse can it get for the Democratic Party? Well, how about getting compared to Cracker Barrel's much hated rebrand?

[A]

The Democratic brand right now has about.

[B]

The appeal with the American voter as.

[A]

The Cracker Barrel rebrand has with the American consumers. Bad, bad, bad. What are you doing? Oh, my goodness gracious.

[C]

Ouch. But can a trip to summer camp help turn things around? The DNC gathering in Minneapolis for its big summer meeting. But instead of charting a path forward on the policies Americans care about, the Democrats doubled down on woke nonsense. Check out how chair Ken Martin kicked off his speech.

[B]

Now please welcome a friend of mine from the Minnesota dfl. Their treasurer and her name is Lindy Somich, who is from the Saginaw Ojibwe.

[A]

Nation and she's going to deliver our land acknowledgement today.

[B]

Lindy.

[C]

And from there it was a TDS bash fest. Tim Walls was fantasizing about how Kamala would have been a better president.

[B]

We wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch on TV and a bunch of nonsense.

[A]

Not a man child crying about whatever's.

[B]

Wrong with may his fat ankles find something today. Think of how easy it would be to be a damn Republican. Oh what, what should I wear today?

[F]

This stupid frickin red hat. Democratic AGs have sued this dude 44.

[A]

Times and we'll sue him 44 more.

[F]

And 44 more after that.

[C]

Donald Trump has literally shut down the.

[A]

White House for tours of school kids so he can build a ballroom.

[F]

He is paving the way for his.

[C]

Debut on Dancing with the Stars. Insert eye roll. Well, Bill Maher is piling on the.

[A]

Democratic party while Democrats offer up high minded intangibles like equity and saving the soul of America. Trump says, hey waitress, how'd you like to pay no tax on those tips? He got the TikTok vote. He got the people for whom toilets are very important vote. He got the enough of taking our shoes off at the airport vote. The crypto bro vote the tech bro vote the bro bro vote. He got rappers and kaleaders.

[C]

Harold. Bill Maher is not wrong. And it sounds like what he's describing is a president for all Americans. And it seems that that's why Democrats are failing.

[B]

Well, I would agree with you Democrats are failing. It's interesting to me to watch those leaders at the convention there or the meetings there, whatever the summer meetings might be. It would seem that you'd want to be calling people from the states that we lost, the big, big states that we lost, and asking them, asking leaders there, not elected leaders, but asking, what is it that we didn't listen to? What is it that you were looking for that we didn't, we didn't give you. Instead of looking back and saying Kamala Harris should have won, maybe she should have, but she didn't. You don't win elections in the future by Looking and clinging to something that didn't happen backwards. 2. We have name called and criticized this president over and over and over again for the past 10 years and it hasn't worked. That's not what's going to beat him. If you want to beat him, you have to lay out a set of issues, a set of ideas, a vision that people can rally around. Imagine if you wanted to talk politics at that meeting that you said, you know what, we're going to switch up the order of the states that go for the next presidential election. Let's let Michigan, let's let Wisconsin, let's let Pennsylvania, let's let a southern state go in front of one of the other states. There's no tradition that we have to hold onto and that we must follow. Well, if we, if we've seen that, if we believe that tradition must be followed, all you have to do is look at the last 10 years in politics and understand that Americans are ready for something different. Why not talk about where we differ with the President on things that matter? Let's say we want to fully fund rural hospitals because they've been underfunded under the big beautiful bill. Why not say we want tax cuts for everybody's first 50,000? I've said this over and over again. I just don't understand why we're not talking about issues and talking about a vision for the future. The more we criticize and name call the president, the more our numbers are gonna go down. The more that young fellow we showed from cnn, he's gonna be right. I do hope Cracker Barrel gets it right. Cause I kind of like the food.

[C]

Jesse, here's my question. Remember in the book the Witches or maybe you saw the movie where when.

[A]

They were having Roald Dahl. Anybody?

[C]

Yes, My favorite. Remember how when they were having their convention and the doors closed, they could take off their wigs and they could scratch their scalps and they could let themselves be their witch self. So my question is, when the Dems are there at their own summer camp, why are they still playing for the cameras? Why isn't it there that they're not rolling up their sleeves and saying how did we miss seeing Americans for where they are hurting or where they are wanting and instead just talking about fat ankles and ballrooms and getting it so hideously wrong even when they're by themselves?

[A]

I mean, last year you said some guy had cankles and they'd cancel you. Now it's like their main line of attack. But Emily, this is like Trump and he's running for class president, and his opponent is some nerd who's running on democracy and egalitarianism. And Trump gets out in front of the entire studio class and just says, we're bringing back Taco Tuesday. And the whole crowd goes crazy. And then he says, and you know what? We're gonna have a salad bar for the ladies. And the ladies are like, all right. And he goes, and we're gonna have hair and makeup professionally done for the cheerleaders because our cheerleaders are the hottest, and everyone's going crazy. And his opponent's like, well, that's sexist. And he go goes, oh, and by the way, we're going to have prom at my dad's country club, and there's only going to be a prom king and a prom queen. That's it. And everyone loves it. Then he says, I'm going to promise to bulldoze the Pride center, and we're going to double the size of the gym. More squat racks, more peloton.

[F]

Hear, hear.

[A]

Crowd goes nuts. Then he says, instead of a class trip for math class, we have Casino Night. Everyone's rocking out, having a blast. By the way, we're rebranding the school colors. No more purple and white. That's really weird. We're going red, white, and blue, baby. He's gonna win. That's how you win. And the nerd is like, well, how are you gonna pay for all this without raising tuition? He goes, well, our teams win championships. We bring the revenue to the league. So the league is now paying us 15%. Boom. He wins the election. And that's what Trump did. Paper straws, powerful flushing toilets, and nice shower water flow, and basic paycheck bonuses. That's it.

[C]

And hot cheerleaders.

[D]

Dana, I think that Jesse just wrote Jesse Jr. S platform for when he is in high school. I'll just agree with all of that. And then say something more about the Democrats and what they dealt with last week. Because it's not like they don't have issues that they could talk about. You know, electricity prices, even though it's their fault, food prices are still something that Americans are saying, wait, these are, like, hurting our. It's a hardship for us if you ask them about that. So it's not like they don't have an issue that they could go for. But instead, last week, they did a couple of things. First of all, the Virginia governor's race that's happening right now, Win some Sears against Abigail Spanberger behind a little bit. However, last week, they had all Talk about allowing men in women's bathrooms. There's this high profile case in Arlington and these girls had to be in there with the guy and then the guy turns out to be a sex offender. And then the other schools in Arlington District, they all go collaborate together against the parents. And now they're likely to lose federal funding. And that's just like issue, like an issue over and over again. President Trump said this morning that they're not 80, 20 issues. Even though. I'm so glad that you coined that phrase.

[A]

You can use it.

[D]

He said they're 973 issues. And that might be right on some of this stuff.

[C]

And the thing is, Tyrus, is we hear all the time in the mainstream media and certain people in the Democrat Party that say, oh, it's a messaging problem about Dems, but the reality is it isn't. They're messaging perfectly exactly where their values are, which are in the toilet that we need to flush more powerfully.

[F]

These aren't. These aren't Democrats. That man right there is a Democrat. I could sit down with him and have a conversation, maybe disagree on a few things, but you know what? If he beat me on the platform, I could work with him because there's a common sense there and a mutual respect. And that's what's missing. These aren't Democrats. These are progressive socialists and it's the same cast of characters. It's not summer camp, it's band camp. Okay, all right. And no one's enjoying themselves when you come up and the first thing you do is you want to talk about stolen land. Was there. And this is what makes them a joke. Where was the plan to give it back? You know, oh, we don't go that far. Like no one can ever ask a so called Democrat how so you're not allowed a follow up question. And they have no follow up plan. These are the same exact people. Tampon Tim should not be at your place speaking. He lost horribly. He was horrible. He hurt Kamala, which was hard to do. You understand that you don't bring him back. Where's the fresh young guns that you're bringing in with new ideas and stuff? The Democrats. Why? Because they've pushed the Democrats out of the party. They need to change their name. They're the socialist party and they're not going to change. And they only have one act. They have one trick is to claim that President Trump is a dictator. But if you look at all their political plans and so called speech, they're the ones who look more like dictators. Than anyone else. He's smarter than them. Without even trying. Because the best and brightest of the Democratic Party have been pushed out.

[B]

I can't believe they actually started with a land.

[D]

Oh, yeah, that's how they have to do every event.

[B]

Dumbest, stupidest, most undemocrat thing. I'm 50. I've been a Democrat all my life. I've been to 12 Democratic. I've never seen anything so wasteful than that. We need to get our act together, guys.

[F]

There wasn't even a person in the crowd going, yeah.

[D]

Just no one.

[C]

And you know what they do with one trick? Ponies. They make glue. All right, up next, the media's beloved Maryland dad, a suspected MS.13 gang member might become Uganda dad.

[A]

Harbor Fre. This is Jimmy Falla 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 [e-mail].

[F]

All around the world. I'm gonna let it shine.

[A]

Kilmar is our neighbor.

[B]

You can't have him.

[F]

Trump, you ruined my intro song with that. I can't get. It's going to be in my head forever. Ah. All right. Sorry, Slick Rick. All right. The Democrats are once again singing in Support of accused MS.13 gang member Kilmar Abrego. Sorry, I know you hate middle names. Jesse Garcia, he turned himself into the ice in Baltimore this morning and now DHS is trying to ship him off to Uganda, but his lawyers rush to court to block it. Garcia is facing some heavy duty human smuggling charges down in Tennessee, but President Trump is giving a reality check to the Democrats who are rallying around the so called Maryland dad.

[E]

They think he's going to be good for votes and I think he's very bad for votes. These people are deranged. He's not good for votes. He beat the hell out of his wife. His wife is afraid to even talk about him. She's been mauled by this animal.

[D]

The guy needs to be in prison. He doesn't need to be on the streets like all these liberals want him to be.

[F]

Harold, as you are a true Democrat in every sense in the world.

[A]

What?

[F]

The President made an interesting comment when he says he thinks they're good for votes. What if that's the case? What group or population of the base of voters do they think Democrats think this is reaching?

[B]

I don't know and I.

[F]

It's insulting, right?

[B]

I think your underlying statement is Right. This is not. First of all, I don't know what we are protecting here. If indeed the White House and the Justice Department has information to show that this young man is an Ms. 13 gang member and is a threat to his community and our country, they should come forward with it and we should convict this guy and get him out of our country. But even if they're not doing that, this should not be the sword that we fall on. We swing Democrats at every pitch to president throws they wildly outside of the strike zone and we're swinging this week. They're doing a good job of it. Swinging at just everything. This is not where and how we should be talking about immigration policy, how we should be talking about allowing the best and the smartest to come to our country. This is not what we should fall on. The sword. And can you imagine if we were asking instead of this? Mr. President, we support your efforts to make our border more secure and we want to see all the violent ones gone. And we support your efforts on crime. We want you to treat Putin like the same way you treat criminals here, because he is one. Can you imagine if we were saying that President Trump, where we agree with him and then where we disagree with him and trying to craft a message. But if we choose issues like this Tyrus to be the defining the metaphor, the personification, the embodiment of whom we are and what we stand for. I think Emily said it a little while ago in a very direct way. We're going to find ourselves and that toilet flushing thing happening in a more powerful way because this is not where people are. We should defend the rights of people, but people who don't deserve to have their rights. I mean, whose rights are being defended, but they're bad people. We should not as a party be aligning ourselves with the worst of the.

[F]

Worst, let alone writing songs for him. Just.

[B]

That's even worse.

[F]

Do a little research. Your 1% blackness is actually ancestry goes back to Uganda. I heard it's beautiful there in the summer. What a place to send a guy like Garcia, huh?

[A]

I mean, God, this guy had it made. Tyrus Van Hollen screwed him over so badly. This guy was in a low security prison in his home country in El Salvador. He was fishing, he was gardening, he was playing soccer and video games. He was probably get released in a couple of years. But his stupid senator and these dumb lawyers pulled him out of his home country back here and now they're sending him to Uganda. You know what a delicacy is in Uganda? Fried grasshopper. They don't have margaritas there. They have fermented bananas. Not quite the same. What do they do for fun? Guerrilla watching. Not a lot of recreational activities. So I would be, if I were him, I'd say, I don't want any due process. Get rid of any due process you want for me. I want to go back to my home country. And is he going to bring his wife, is he going to bring his son? Because this guy's supposed to be a great dad and a great spouse and the wife and kid are allowed to go to Uganda. So if this is a great marriage and these are loving people, she should get on the plane with them.

[F]

Emily, didn't he have a deal where he could go to Costa Rica as a free man? He could have made a deal. I mean, as a lawyer, at some point I would. I mean, you got to want to fire the lawyer at this point, right? We went from Venezuela to beautiful Costa Rica to Uganda, which springtime is wonderful, Wonderful. The Summers are rough, 77 degrees.

[C]

I spent almost two weeks in Uganda doing a mission trip. And it is beautiful and the people are amazing. But I think, yeah, if I had my choice of El Salvador or here, then, yeah, I would choose that. You're right. That this guy has somehow become like the Forrest Gump, the poster child of the Democrat Party where he was wrested back from enjoying life in El Salvador. And now he's like all of a sudden, look at that. He's become now part of this daisy chain of yoga, meditation and horrific off singing from Upper East Siders that have put somehow all of their eggs in the basket. That cheer point, that's who they're aligning themselves with. And yet the switch when it's flipped, you know, if someone is incarcerated for domestic violence, all of a sudden everyone turns their back. So why aren't they turning their back on him now? Ms. 13, the violence, the things that this guy has been alleged with and corroborated having done. When you talk about human smuggling, that to me is the greatest threat here. We know that he's a wife beater and that is horrific. But the fact that human smuggling has over any illicit industry the highest concentrations of rape and sexual assault and violence. It is the highest global illicit industry besides drugs. And this guy is one of the guys that it was the helm of it in this country. That's the kind of poison in the community that human smuggling does. And he had not a care about it. And now everyone is joyfully singing and dancing next to him in parks and putting his face on T shirts. But the whole point is they are supporting a horrific industry and they have no idea what they're even singing about because that guy represents the worst of.

[F]

The worst, you know, and trafficking is typically women and children. So once again, Dana is. Again, this isn't. We feel like we're beating a dead horse here. One trick pony. How is there an opposition to this? Like, why would you even. Like, this guy needs to go. Is there not somebody that's this wonderful person that is wrongfully being deported?

[D]

If you talk to a thousand people in Maryland, I don't think any of them could pick Chris Van Hollen out of a lineup and say, oh, he did something great for me. But this is the issue and the person that he has decided to dig his heels in on. And it's kind of wild to watch that. In addition, I just feel like these Democrats, if they could, they should try to hire some Republican communicators because they would never let you sing. It is just horrible. And also they have him up there to talk about how upset he is in his press conference that he might have to go to Uganda because he doesn't speak the language and he does the entire thing in Spanish.

[A]

Well.

[F]

You just.

[C]

Exactly.

[F]

Coming up, Zahran the Commie struggles to lift up his socialist agenda. Yeah, let's go.

[A]

Hey, hey. Let's go.

[G]

Hi, this is Joe from Vanta. In today's digital world, compliance regulations are changing constantly and earning customer trust has never mattered more.

[F]

Vanta helps companies get compliant fast and.

[B]

Stay secure with the most advanced AI.

[G]

Automation and continuous monitoring out there. So whether you're a startup going for your first SoC2 or ISO 27001 or a growing enterprise managing vendor risk, Vanta makes it quick, easy and scalable.

[F]

And I'm not just saying that because I work here.

[G]

Get [e-mail].

[A]

Yeah, let's go. Zilron the Destroyer humiliated after failing a bench press challenge. The Commie tried to show off at men's day but needed a spotter just to redistribute the 135 pound Barbell Tyrus. Are those 35 pounds?

[F]

I believe those were 35 pound plates. I don't think those were 45.

[A]

And he couldn't even get them out.

[F]

He couldn't. I mean, the biggest, the biggest issue is not his puny human can't lift his body weight. It's his poor judgment, his lack of self awareness. How can you lead when you walk in a room and you see something that you've clearly never done before, and I'll just wing it. Is that how you're going to handle crime? Is that how you're going to handle statistics? Is that how you're going to handle. Oh, now the federal grocery stores make a lot of sense. You sound like, based off that. When I look at. I would be like, if it wasn't for that guy curling for him, he'd still be there right now. So he's embarrassed himself, he's embarrassed his family, and he's embarrassed anyone that says that he's an articulate thinker.

[A]

Emily, does he have your vote after witnessing the bench press challenge?

[C]

No, but I'd rather die anyway. Look, you could see by his wrist placement, he's never even done one before. He, like, literally.

[D]

Even I know that.

[C]

Yeah. He literally. I can't. That was so humiliating for him as a biological male. But I love what you said because to me, that's the whole point. When he had that scavenger hunt all over the city this weekend, and the one or two critics were like, yeah, this just shows the unseriousness of his campaign. And to me, it also shows the hypocrisy. So we had all of these under 40 kids running around the city packing the buses. And because they had packed the buses, the buses were too full to actually pick up the locals that were at the bus stops that were trying to get to work or their daily activities on a Sunday. And the irony, too, that they had in his scavenger hunt to load pictures to ChatGPT, which is a capitalist model. So this guy, at every turn, just shows that he's all about the gimmick. He's all about the joy in the moment. But he's failing to see that the seriousness is gonna be. If these policies go in place, if there's no misdemeanors in this city. You know what a misdemeanor is here, too? It includes assault, it includes larceny, it includes harassment. And as a woman in this city, I can tell you, if he does away with criminalizing harassment, yeah, this place is going to hell.

[A]

Well, that display was a crime in and of itself.

[F]

Yes.

[D]

I mean, why doesn't anyone ever learn from Eric Swalwell's mistakes? I mean, this just happened. We just had this conversation. And they know that they have a problem with young men, and these goofy stunts are not going to improve it. But the Mamdani stumbles point out that there's a problem in New York City because you have two other candidates who are not able to Break out. Adams, Eric Adams and Chris Cuomo are not able, excuse me, Andrew Cuomo are not able to break out of the cycle that they're in. They don't have the. I don't know whether it's the, okay, maybe it's wherewithal or the oomph or the. Where's the. Where's the. I don't know, it's like, where's the courage? Where's the bravery? Where's the unique stance? Where's the something? And instead, you know, you can't, you're going to get all these young people to go on buses all day on a Sunday. They're going to give up their Sunday to do that. They're probably going to vote for him.

[A]

Harold Ford.

[B]

Look, everybody said it. This is tyres said it best. To your point, Dana, the two other opponents in this race should be. Their ads should be. Look, I don't mind a guy not being able to lift a few weeks. It may have been embarrassing for him, but the real issue is he's winging this thing. He's winging it on crime. He's winging it on how to bring new investments and new jobs and new opportunities to communities that have been left behind. He's winging it on our kids trying to figure out how their schools are going to be made better, how you can make not only groceries more affordable, but things in our communities healthier. I call it the winging it campaign is what this guy's running. And if we're serious about solving our problems, this is not the way to go about doing this. Don't need to attack him personally. His ideas are the things that need to be called into question and tyres. You have it right. I hope to see an ad from Adam's informal next few days called winging it because that's what this kid is doing.

[A]

And I think Emily can bench more than Mondame.

[C]

I can.

[A]

She can confirm.

[D]

I can, too.

[C]

That's right.

[A]

Up next, Snoop Dogg goes off on woke Disney.

[F]

Boost memory and clarity with. Hey, I'm Trey Gatti, host of the Trey Gaddy Podcast.

[B]

I hope you will join me every.

[A]

Tuesday and Thursday as we navigate life.

[F]

Together and hopefully find ourselves a little bit better on the other side. Listen and follow [e-mail].

[B]

And here's why.

[A]

And she had a baby with a woman.

[F]

Well, my grandson in the middle of.

[A]

The movie, like Papa Snoop, how she have a baby with a woman? She a woman? Oh, I didn't come in for this. I just came and Watched a movie.

[F]

Hey, man, watch the movie.

[A]

I'm scared to go to the movies now.

[B]

Like, y' all throwing me in the middle of that. I don't have an answer for Tyrus. Your thoughts on this? You have a perspective.

[F]

Well, as his former bodyguard, we went through this before. We took all the kids and his daughter Chalk was sitting next to me, and she was young. I think she was maybe 8. And he thought Watchers was like Marvel and anyone who's seen the movie, Watchers. There's this. It's very superheroish, very cool. And then all of a sudden, there's this crazy electric blue sex scene in the middle of the movie. And my first move was put my hands over Chalk, and he was like, we didn't come here for this. Because he knew the kids were going to talk. This has nothing to do with the LGBT community or Snoop lashing out. This is what happens when grandpa takes grandson to see a movie and he didn't proofread the movie. And then the grandson's going to go home, he's going to tell grandma, and it's Boss Lady. That's why he's upset, because he's going to every one of us.

[B]

Not him being discriminatory.

[F]

He just wanted to watch a movie.

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

With his grandson. And then now grandson's going to go home and ask all these questions, and then he's going to get it from Boss Lady. Grandma's going to be like, why are you taking this child to see this movie without check. I didn't know. And then we in the doghouse, and everyone in here, Jesse, you got. Every one of us has been through this. Snoop, I don't. He probably employed. He is friendly with everybody. He was just a grandfather who got caught not knowing what to bring his kid to because it's tough.

[B]

Thank you for clarifying. Jess said you have a thought on this?

[A]

Yeah. We watched this movie with Jesse Jr. And then Jesse Jr. Says, dad, what's a lesbian? And I turned to him and I said, son, there's no such thing as a lesbian. Said, deep down, every woman wants a man. And he turns to me and says, even Rosie o'. Donnell.

[B]

Do you think you have thoughts on this? No. No.

[D]

Nope.

[B]

Emily, any thoughts on this?

[D]

I'm gonna let Jesse hang.

[A]

Was that a bad fatherly thing to do?

[B]

Emily, your thoughts about this?

[F]

He loves everybody. I'm telling you, the brother loves everybody.

[C]

For sure.

[F]

He just was a grandfather, not trying to get in trouble.

[C]

And you're right. And the whole point is expectations. Like, remember in that Disney movie when the blind kid was on the railroad tracks. And I remember my mom being like, it's okay, girls. It's Disney. And then the kid died. Or not blind.

[D]

Sorry, death.

[C]

Whatever it was.

[F]

Disney. Just go back.

[C]

The whole. The whole thing is. This was like a long time ago. But the whole point is when you are sh.

[B]

With kids.

[C]

Yes, that is the worst.

[A]

And I just want to clarify. Lesbians do exist. I. I was kidding.

[F]

Yeah, that's all better. That cleaned it up, Jesse. Better.

[B]

One more thing is. Up next, an official message from Medicare. I'm saving money on my Medicare prescriptions. Maybe you can save, too, with Medicare's extra help program.

[F]

My premium is 0 and my out.

[A]

Of pocket costs are low. Who should apply?

[B]

Single people making less than $24,000 a.

[G]

Year or married couples who make less than $32,000.

[B]

Even if you don't think you qualify, it pays. To find out, go to ssa.gov extrahelp paid for by the US Department of Health and Human Services.

[D]

It's time now for one more thing. There was a bear. He broke into an ice cream shop in La Tahoe and his name is Fuzzy and he likes strawberry ice cream. So if you want to keep him away, that's what you need to do. Podcast today. Purina on politics with Antonia Ferrier. And Jesse's next.

[A]

Do Americans know about any other country besides America? Johnny, hit the beach. Israel's at war. Who are they fighting with?

[F]

United Kingdom, not the United States.

[B]

Wow.

[D]

Okay, Harold.

[B]

Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant had a collectible card sell for almost million, eclipsing the Mickey Mantle card. Congrats to Kevin o' Leary and a group of investors who bought it. And two, shout out to Tommy Fleetwood for winning his first PGA Tour event.

[A]

Tyrus.

[F]

Tyrus. Check out my live tour what it is Comedy tour. We are all over everywhere. Don't ask me, Jesse. I will punch you.

[A]

Where are you November 8th?

[F]

I'm in Idaho.

[D]

All right, that's it for us, everyone. Have a great night.
