[Kennedy]

Coca Cola for everyone.

[Emily Compagno]

Pick up some Coca Cola at a store near you.

[Kennedy]

Hello, everyone.

[Emily Compagno]

I'm Emily Compagno along with Kennedy, Jessica Tarloff, Jesse Waters and Greg Gutfeld. It's five o' clock in New York City, and this is the fun.

[Greg Gutfeld]

The turkeys being pardoned today go by the names of Gobble and Waddle. When I first saw their pictures, I.

[Jesse Waters]

Thought we should send them. Well, I was going to, I shouldn't say this. I was going to call them Chuck.

[Greg Gutfeld]

And Nancy, but then I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them. I would never pardon those two people.

[Emily Compagno]

That was President Trump serving up some insults at Chuck and Nancy at the annual White House turkey pardon, sparing gobble and waddle from the Thanksgiving dinner table. And while those birds got a break, the seditious six might be wishing they could snag a pardon of their own. The FBI is seeking to interview the six members of Congress who made a reckless video about troops disobeying illegal orders. Arizona in the droll video, and he's still clueless on what illegal orders Trump has given.

[Jesse Waters]

I said something that was pretty simple and non controversial and that was that members of the military should follow the law. And in response to that, Donald Trump said, I should be executed, I should be hanged. I should be prosecuted. Were there specific potentially illegal orders that.

[Kennedy]

You were thinking about that were the.

[Jesse Waters]

Sort of precipitating cause for you guys to get together and do that? Here's the thing, Rachel. You don't want to wait for your kid to get hit by a car before you tell him to look both ways. The whole thing's almost comical.

[Emily Compagno]

Arizona's other senator, Ruben Gallego, he is providing covering fire for his fellow senators and telling the Trump administration to watch out.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Donald Trump's going to be gone a couple of years and if you're part of the military that is going after sitting senators, sitting members of Congress and part of, you know, the weaponization of government. There will be consequences without a doubt.

[Jesse Waters]

So, you know, I think there's going.

[Greg Gutfeld]

To be a lot of officers that are part of this, you know, potential tribunal if they want to call that.

[Jesse Waters]

They're going to be looking over their shoulders.

[Emily Compagno]

And AOC is calling President Trump's mental stability into question over the whole situation.

[Jessica Tarloff]

The President's remarks are, I think, indicate a level of instability. It's not just shocking, it's not just offensive, it's bizarre, it is erratic, it's volatile. And I think it indicates a mental state that we should all be questioning right now whether that's emotional, mental, what have you. It is not normal to make these accusations. It is not normal to invoke these kinds of threats of violence.

[Emily Compagno]

All right, Greg.

[Jesse Waters]

Yes.

[Emily Compagno]

Which one of those Looney Tunes do you want to start with?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Well, I would like to paraphrase the WHO and say meet the new hoax, same as the old hoax. This is a military video that managed to take, make something out of nothing. So you have, this is, it's the Pure Structure 1. You begin with an insinuation that becomes an imaginary problem that is bolstered by, and this is important, the credentialed class, which is exactly what they did with the denial of Hunter's laptop and Russian collusion. You find so called experts, then this is amplified by a receptive media. You saw that with Russia collusion and the fine people hoax. And then you get the Trump response which is then incorporated into the hoax that he is authoritarian. Look how he responded. However, this can only work if you have no memory or no scruples because there is no credibility among the Democrats or the media. The big picture here, why is this happening? The power and the currency of the Trump administration is energy. And the goal is to deplete that energy to handicap the White House and to handicap the rest of us. Tiring us out is their strategy. So when you see stuff like that, you realize the only value that you can give this thing is to absorb that, to absorb the story. Instead of absorbing it, you observe it. In fact, that's the way you should treat all news is when a story is coming at you, you don't let it in, you just observe it. You let it swirl around you. You don't want to give it any energy, especially when they don't deserve your energy. Let the two discredited entities, the media and the Democrats, play ball between themselves. You cannot grant them Any of your attention or your energy given the fine people hoax the laptop, cover up the Russian collusion and especially the, and most notably the Joe Biden cover up. If you take the word of the Democrats and you probably still believe OJ Is going to find the real killer and he's dead. As for, and I'll shut up, the non controversial thing that the astronaut says, it's kind of a half true truth in that it's obvious that you should not obey illegal orders. So that's non controversial. What is controversial is that they did the video, which means it had nothing to do with that. So you don't gather all the elite Democrats together and make a video to state something obvious or banal. You do it to create dissent and chaos and deceive Americans.

[Emily Compagno]

And it seems to me, Jesse, that for quite a long time now, these certain liberals and Democrats with lots of followers have gotten used to throwing out outlandish and false defamatory statements, especially about the President. And no one ever asked for specificity. Now you see someone just even say, like, which one? Which one are you talking about? And they immediately deflate because they are unable to cite anything that the President has done that isn't actually perfectly constitutional or within bounds.

[Jesse Waters]

And you got to give the mainstream media credit for asking a question. Usually they just buy it. We're not going to let the Democrats mess with the military anymore. We're just not going to let them do it. They already did it with the idea. They did it with Trans. They had Drag queen story hour on army bases. It's done. We're done with it, okay? They've already destroyed morale enough. And we're sick of cleaning up their messes in Ukraine and Iran at the border. We have a lot to handle, all right? And it's only been a year. This is ending and it's ending now. The Senate also treated Pete like crap. He's not going to take this from another senator. There's a chain of command. Pete now controls Kelly. Kelly's going to come in and he's going to get a little bit of a spanking. And Pete already looked at the war medals this guy had in his chest. And they're like, they're all cockeyed. They're in the wrong direction. The guy doesn't even know how to dress up. This Democrat Party charged Donald Trump like 94 times. Six trials. They raided his house, they leaked his taxes, they spied in his campaign and arrested everybody in his orbit, campaign managers, advisers, even his little valet. And they're Upset that someone has to talk to an FBI agent? Really? Come on. You didn't think we were going to hit back? You think you were going to get away with all that and we were going to do anything about it? You got to be out of your mind. They're probably used to us not doing anything because we used to not. We used to just take it, and now we're not taking it anymore. So if you go over the line, we caught you and now you have to pay a price. Doesn't matter. They have no idea what they just walked into. After what they did to us, then pardoned everybody and then put stuff in burn bags. No, we're going to head back and we're going to hit that kind of hard.

[Emily Compagno]

Jessica, do you agree that a video calling on the military writ large to disobey the commander in chief's orders is in fact seditious?

[Jessica Tarloff]

No, I don't. And I don't think anyone in their right mind would agree with that. The video is explicit that you should not obey unlawful orders. That actually your sworn duty is to the Constitution, not to a commander who's asking you to do illegal things. We've talked about this now three days in a row. So three days in a row. I'm going to say it would have been more ideal if there was specificity about the type of orders that you are hearing from lower ranking officers that they're concerned about. So if that's Venezuelan boat strikes, like why did General Halsey resign from the Southern Command?

[Jesse Waters]

You don't know.

[Jessica Tarloff]

I'm. That's why I said why? It's in the form of a question. You're right. He just wanted to spend more time with his family.

[Jesse Waters]

I don't know if people are even.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Leave his family out of it.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Jessica, don't make me talk about Todd Starnes, Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump addressing that meeting of generals and saying, you're going to have to help us clean up these blue cities, those kinds of things. But to Greg's point about, you know, you shouldn't be elevating these people. They are doing exactly the wrong thing in Greg Gutfeld's mind because now the face of the Democratic Party is Mark Kelly. It's not Zoran Mamdani. You have Donald Trump smiling at mom Donnie. And you have Mark Kelly, who's a decorated veteran who is married to basically like the equivalent of an American saint in Gabby Giffords, who's won a purple state, has hugely high favorabilities. And now people are talking about the Fact that the Democratic Party is represented by a guy like that, I'm personally thrilled that is what my party is. The party of. Mark Kelly's out.

[Greg Gutfeld]

So this was a political move.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Oh, it's just a nice afterthought that we're getting in a bounce out of it.

[Jesse Waters]

You're getting a bounce out of this Exhaustion. Talking about it. Three days in a row you have. You're complaining you have to do an FBI interview, which I'm not complaining he might have to go to.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Seth is spending his days melting down online instead of being over in the UAE negotiating peace between Ukraine and Russia. The Secretary of the army is the one doing that. Pete saying, I think your medals are in the wrong order, even though it's supposed to be a mirror image or something I read on the Internet. I don't know. I'm not a veteran. But I'm just saying that I doubt that Mark Kelly, a guy who's even gone to space, what, four times, knows which way his metals are supposed to go.

[Jesse Waters]

He doesn't know how he does. He just.

[Greg Gutfeld]

You know what? Maybe he doesn't understand the gravity of the situation.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Lol.

[Greg Gutfeld]

A little.

[Emily Compagno]

Little Kennedy.

[Kennedy]

Well, I will say this, Greg. When one goes to space, as you know, their telomeres lengthen, which we would think is fortuitous. Unfortunately, when they come back to Earth, they drastically shrink. And I think that's what's happened to Senator Kelly also. He has almost made his full transformation into sloth from the Goonies.

[Jesse Waters]

What? What?

[Kennedy]

Milky telomeres.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Oh, yes.

[Jesse Waters]

What are those?

[Kennedy]

They're.

[Jessica Tarloff]

I like these an O first.

[Kennedy]

Basically the things at the end of genes that determine the aging process. Okay, so the longer they are.

[Jesse Waters]

It's not the other thing.

[Kennedy]

Less. It's not the other thing, but this.

[Jesse Waters]

He.

[Kennedy]

He is talking about members of the military the way he talks about a thick headed child. That is condescending and unacceptable. And we can't just say, well, they all served. Alyssa Slutnick was in the seat. That's what Greg called her yesterday. I accidentally. That is not her name by accident. But, you know, it was like she was in the CIA. These guys are experts. Then why is everyone in the military protesting? Because they are being talked down to like they are idiotic children. They are not. They understand the gravity of the job they have signed up for and the oath that they have sworn, which will not be undermined by doubt. That is simply being issued for political purposes by people who are rendering their service a little less impressive by stunts like these. And that's what it is. It is a stunt. And if it weren't, if there were specific actionable issues at hand that they had to be standing up to, they would be able to list them to any member of the media who was like, okay, what are the illegal things? They would say A, B, C and possibly D. And as a lawmaker, I'm going to fix all of these things so the president doesn't extend the bounds of his power. But they haven't said that at all because that's not what it is, because it is a stunt.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Senator Sawkin did enumerate them in a TMZ interview.

[Kennedy]

Oh, that's right. TMZ is the news. Thank you.

[Jessica Tarloff]

I'm just saying.

[Emily Compagno]

All right, guys. Ahead, the hits keep coming for the Tennessee Democrat who hates the city she's running to represent.

[Jesse Waters]

Come on now.

[Kennedy]

At New Balance, we believe if you run, you're a runner, however you choose to do it. Because when you're not worried about doing things the right way, you're free to discover your way. And that's what running is all about. Run your [e-mail] Running. I hate the city.

[Jessica Tarloff]

I hate the Bachelorettes. I hate the Pedal Taverns. I hate country music.

[Emily Compagno]

I hate all of the things that.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Make Nashville apparently, and its city to.

[Kennedy]

The rest of the country, but I hate it.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Hello, Lumpy.

[Kennedy]

The hits keep coming for the Democrat who hates the city she wants to represent. Candidate Afton Bain is running against Republican Matt Van Epps in a special House election down in Tennessee and a district Trump won by 22 points. Afton is going viral for saying she hates Nashville and country music, despite the tiny detail that she might soon represent the capital of country music. And now she's desperately name dropping George Strait to try and bail her out.

[Emily Compagno]

Oh, my parents don't kill me, but I do not hate country music. I was conceived after a George Strait concert. I had a podcast back in the day called Girls Raised in the south, and I was lamenting about, you know, the things that are wrong with our city. Obviously taken out of context, obviously hyperbolic. And I don't feel that way at all.

[Kennedy]

I don't know where you could insert that back into context to make it right. Well, that's not the only woke claptrap Afton is spewing. She was confronted about past social media posts expressing her support for defunding the.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Police watch in 2020. You made some tweets that have since been deleted that were very critical of police. Do you still stand by those comments and if not, is there anything you want to clarify?

[Emily Compagno]

I'm not going to gauge in cable news talking points, but what I will say is that, you know, our communities need solutions. Once again, I don't remember these tweets.

[Kennedy]

I don't remember these tweets. Curiously enough, they happened at the same time as Iran. Mom. Donnie's tweets when he also talked about defunding the police because they the NYPD is anti queer. So given Jay Jones winning his race and Zoran Mamdani winning his for saying far more inflammatory things, I think she's on her way to victory.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Well, wouldn't that be nice? She's definitely not my dream candidate, but the story here is that it's a Trump plus 22 district and Republicans are having to put millions of dollars into this to protect. Should be at least in single digits, which would be a huge overperformance. And that's the trend line that's really scaring Republicans at this point. You had Marjorie Taylor Greene resigning, and then Punchbowl News is reporting that there could be many more Republicans that are retiring early, that they feel like they're not even going to work or legislating. So Mike Johnson, the idea of him losing the gavel even before we get to the midterms, a fever dream for me. But, you know, outside chance, but possible. I mean, if you're going to spend your time going over the old tweets, and I get it, she should just say because I think she deleted them, too. So, like, obviously you knew that they existed and that they were bad. That is not a way to win a campaign. Right now. People want to hear how you're going to lower their grocery prices. They want to talk about their energy costs. They want to talk about the rent being too damn high. And Republicans don't seem to have an answer to any of that. They were almost on the verge of Obamacare subsidy extension, and then the rank and file got in the way and said, absolutely not. We're not doing it. Even though it has 70% approval ratings. So I'm feeling bullish.

[Kennedy]

Should she feel bullish? I mean, Jesse on.

[Jesse Waters]

Jesse just said, Jessica just said she hopes this girl wins. So you hope someone wins who hates the district.

[Jessica Tarloff]

She doesn't hate that.

[Jesse Waters]

She hates the district. She hates country music. She hates bachelorette parties. She said sororities or white supremacy. She hates the people she's supposed to work for. And you want her to win. Why? Because she's a Democrat? That's dumb. Jessica, you're better than that. If you represent California, you should be tan. If you represent Texas, you should love steak. You shouldn't be a vegetarian. If you represent Massachusetts, you should love the Sox and the Kennedys. Every single Kennedy. It shouldn't be that hard to embrace the culture that you represent and not hate the culture. So why does it always seem like these Democrats hate the culture? They're never out in the culture. You never see them at a fight, you never see him at a football game.

[Jessica Tarloff]

That's not.

[Jesse Waters]

Never see him on a boat, you never see him on a horse. You never see him doing anything American. They're shut ins. They're snobby shut ins. Let's admit it. Like for instance, let's take Jasmine Crockett. Like she represents Dallas. Have you ever seen her at a Dallas football game? Ever seen her at a Cowboys game? Have you ever heard her say, God, I love Texas, the great state of Texas, the great people of Texas?

[Jessica Tarloff]

I think so.

[Jesse Waters]

What about Bernie? When's the last time you heard Bernie say anything about Vermont? One thing. Ever seen Bernie ski? Ever seen with any maple syrup leaf, peepeeping, anything? Show me that you represent Vermont. No, he just talks about the billionaires. They all do it. They see voters as stepping stones. They don't love people, they actually hate them. And that's not good in politics.

[Kennedy]

No, she's emotional, irrational and her words are coming back to bite her in the keister. So what do you think is going to happen with this campaign, Emily?

[Emily Compagno]

Hopefully she doesn't win because I agree with you in that to me it's a deal breaker. When you look at candidates and you actually compare. Likely they have their constituents interests in mind, their best interests in mind. Likely everyone running for the most part says how can I Lower taxes, lift regulations, lower costs, make everyone happy, feel safe, be safe, cover potholes. But usually in there is not whether or not they hate the people they are supposed to serve. They are supposed to be public servants. Meanwhile, on a, on a brass tax point, that is Music City and that is $1 billion plus industry that is arguably headquartered in the city that she's purporting to represent. It is shocking to me the naivety that we are seeing in that candidate and also in the libs we showed in the first block who again say these outlandish, frightening things because they want that dopamine rush and they don't realize that its constituents they're hoping to serve or should be serving rather than followers. And she tries to deny it or explain it away by saying, well, you need to know the context. There is no context associated with I hate Nashville or I hate the cops or I hate sororities that will in any way change or mitigate the. The meaning, which is pretty clear. And also, do you make tweets or do you just make water?

[Kennedy]

Oh, great question.

[Emily Compagno]

You. You tweet. The verb is you.

[Kennedy]

You might post something, but one does not necessarily make a tweet. What do you make of this, Greg?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Well, she is the bane of Nashville, actually. She's an awful affluent white female liberal. She is like the perfect example of this. There were heroes and villains in 2020. It was an opportunity for people to join the mob or rebel against the mob. She was the mob. Everything that she had said during that period reflected those people. And you got to call it out on them because they made people's lives miserable. The through line in all of her opinions, bachelorettes, sororities, girls in the south, moms, what do they have in common? They're all women. She is basically throwing all, and I would say white women under the bus because it's a guilt thing and it's a virtue signal thing. Behind that is probably a lot of fear and self doubt about the decisions she's made. Like, why does she hate bachelorette parties? Because they're married. Because they go get married. Why does she hate moms because they have children? I don't know. But she seems to me like the type of person at a BLM brunch that would kneel and say, I'm the problem, but I'm different than everybody else. I had something else I wanted to say. Oh. She encapsulates what Gadsad calls suicidal empathy. When a trans shooter kills kids in schools, she sides with the trans. When crime is out of control, she applauds the burning of a police station. And on the personal level, she condemns having children. She says that it gets in the way of her selfish needs and then she'll camouflage these desires with this false curtain of compassion. But they're wholly destructive personally and to a society. And her sense of identity is nothing more than just a broken down car with silly bumper stickers around them. It's no wonder. It's no wonder. It's kind of coming apart now.

[Kennedy]

Yes, well, it's awful timing for her. Speaking of awful, because the election is this coming Tuesday. All right, coming up, it looks like Maxine Waters isn't thankful for President Trump this Thanksgiving.

[Jesse Waters]

This low down, dirty, no good, filthy president.

[Greg Gutfeld]

How do you feel?

[Jesse Waters]

It's five in the morning.

[Announcer]

Try.

[Kennedy]

This is ainsley Earhart, thank you for joining me for the 52 episode podcast series the Life of Jesus A.

[Announcer]

Listening experience that will provide hope, comfort and understanding of the greatest story ever told. Listen and follow starting November 30th on Fox newspodcasts.com.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Anti ICE protesters have a stupid new way to fight Trump's immigration agenda. Activists have been clogging up the lines at a Home Depot in Southern California where they buy 17 cent ice scrapers before getting in line to return the items. It's a way to denounce immigration raids at the hardware chain. Roll it, Lenny.

[Jesse Waters]

What are you buying today? I'm buying ice scraper.

[Announcer]

Oh, yeah?

[Kennedy]

What are you buying today?

[Jesse Waters]

I am buying an anvil putty knife.

[Kennedy]

An ice graver.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yes. And the Dems are also blown off steam over ICE raids. Mad Maxine peppering Trump with one insult after another.

[Jesse Waters]

This is an important press conference that is being held to let you know what we're all doing resisting this low down, dirty, no good, filthy president.

[Greg Gutfeld]

So, Jessica, nothing gets people sympathetic to your cause by making their lives difficult. What is it with you leftists? Always throwing paint on things, causing disturbances, blocking traffic, and now attacking Home Depot. They had to close their their business because of you people, Jessica. People like you?

[Jessica Tarloff]

No, not so much. But I did figure out why it was an ice scraper like later than I should have. Ice creeper, obviously. Faux outrage over how Maxine Waters talks like we just played.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I don't care about that. I care about this. That's why I asked you this question. Jessica, stick to the topic, please.

[Jessica Tarloff]

I'll stick to the topic and I'll do what you love when I do, which is to say Donald Trump has taken his best issue and thrown it in the gutter because of how immigration policy is being carried out because it's these kinds of stunts. There was a big investigation. ProPublica did it into that. Remember that September 30th, that night raid on the south side of Chicago apartment complex? They used Black Hawk helicopters And there were 300 agents from Border Patrol, SWAT teams, FBI agents. They're hauling people out of their houses and they're saying like these are all trend. And guess what? Federal prosecutors haven't fired charges against anyone who was arrested. I wonder why that is. DHS. DHS says to trend members were arrested. ProPublica talked to one of them. No criminal record there and no charges filed at this point point. So when they did that slick video, right, you know where Kristi Noem descends, right? And she has on her little vest and she's standing there as ICE Barbie or whatever. Like, it makes you think, why aren't you doing worst first and making good on your promises to the American people? Not the mass deportation people, the average Americans who said, we don't want an open border. We want people who've committed crimes in this country, on American soil to get out of here instead of things that are just for, like, making a movie.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Jessica, you're like the person and perfect. You're like the person in a store who knocks over a vase and then you start criticizing the way the guy cleans it up.

[Jessica Tarloff]

No, it's more than that. And I've said, like, there have been over 170Americans that have been taken into ICE custody that you cannot even say that this is being executed in the wrong way. It boggles my little mind.

[Jesse Waters]

Two million in one year are gone. So according to my calculations, that will be 8 million by the end of this term. It won't be. So when you. When you get rid of 8 million illegals, you know what happens? Crime goes down. Rent goes down. Health insurance goes down. Car insurance goes down. Those things.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Those things aren't happening.

[Jesse Waters]

Okay? We're just getting started. Jessica, it's supply and demand. What do you think is going to happen when you get million?

[Greg Gutfeld]

At least we're getting started, Jessica. You guys didn't do crap.

[Jesse Waters]

That's not true. It lowers everything. That means class more people lighter. That means everything goes down, Jessica. Wages go up. Corporate crime goes down. It's very simple. Even you can understand it. Now, why would ICE be at Home Depot? Why would these illegal aliens be at Home Depot? Because you said they weren't coming to steal jobs. You said they weren't coming to cut our wages and wire the money back to Honduras. You said they were fleeing persecution and these were all asylumes. They were just fleeing violence. Okay, again, everything you said was wrong. Home Depot is having a great quarter. Did you know they beat expectations? 41 billion in revenue. And when the rates drop, the stock's going to pop. That's how that works, too. I'd invest in Home Depot.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Kennedy, what is your take on this?

[Kennedy]

Thank you, Charles Payne.1%. Okay, so I do agree that the big worry here, when you have federal law enforcement going into towns, is they don't know the people that they're arresting. They're not embedded in these communities, and that is by virtue of the sanctuary cities. And I agree with you. I agree with anyone who lives in these places. You want the worst out first. Absolutely. And the Best way to do that is to work with local law enforcement because that protects innocent people who are working here, hardworking, trying to create a better life for them and their families. And the American dream has always welcomed people like that. So if you're worried about people like that getting ensnared in this net, and I don't disagree with you there, I mean, that is, that is a failure of the system, then don't have sanctuary policies that disallow local law enforcement from providing intelligence to ICE and other federal law enforcement. So they can tell them like, we've arrested these guys five times. We know these guys are gang members. We know these guys are, are sex traffickers. We know that guy over there is probably a child molester because he hangs out at a park by himself five days a week. Because that's what local law enforcement does. That's how they acquire intelligence. But they can't do that because of people like Brandon Johnson and JP Pritzker and even Maxine Waters. What the hell has she done with her tenure in Congress other than be an absolute mouth farting blowhard.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Mouth farting, you say? Is that possible? I do think that this is a trend in every issue with Democrats. It's compassion without accountability. You bring in the accountability. They hate the process. But I want to ask you about the reality of this Home Depot. Imagine being a cashier. I mean, when you find a new use for that ice scraper.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Violent.

[Greg Gutfeld]

No.

[Emily Compagno]

And also I feel like, as we always talk about, it is a luxury to go out into the world and be an activist in the way that you deem disruptive and fighting back when really you are taxing the people who actually are there to put food on the table. Those cashiers that are there working really hard on behalf of those that enjoy stunts in their name. And we talk about the alleged 170Americans in the custody. But, and I feel for, for anyone going through anything at the hands of a bureaucracy or a structure that's larger than they are. But let's also talk about the 113/,000 illegal immigrants with massive criminal histories arrested just in 2024, which included over 3,000 with homicides. Where are those activists? Where were they at the funerals of Bambi Larson and Jocelyn Noongari and Lake and Riley. Jocelyn Nougari in her, in the trial for those illegal immigrants. She wasn't killed. But you get my point that I feel that the crickets we hear from, with all of these people patting themselves on the back and including the Maxine Waters, they're flying over to Venezuela and they're flying to El Salvador and let's have martinis. And not one of them is calling an angel mom. Not one of them is actually articulating the pain that Americans feel, whether it's from drunk drivers or whether it's from residivist criminals and homicides and rapes and so much more. To even acknowledge the presence and the delusion that I see with these people who are then called faux outrage about it. Her words matter. Maxine Waters words matter. And it is a tragedy and a travesty to me that she still holds office and she is somehow forgiven because whether that she's old or quirky or curmudgeony and somehow she is allowed to get by being so drastically damaging with her words and not one person holds her to account.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Well, I would only add one thing to that. In your face, Jessica. Should you look fly before you hit the sky.

[Announcer]

It's Will Tain Country. Watch it live at noon Eastern Monday through Thursday@fox news.com or on the Fox News YouTube channel. And don't miss the show. Listen and follow the podcast five days a week at foxnewspodcasts.com or wherever you download your favorite podcasts.

[Jesse Waters]

Wearing your jammies to the airport could soon land you on the no Fly list. Now Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says it's time for travelers to dress up for their holiday flights.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Whether it's a pair of jeans and a and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better, which encourages encourages us to maybe behave all a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and and pajamas as we come to the airport. I think that's positive.

[Jesse Waters]

Are you a pajama and slipper kind of traveler?

[Emily Compagno]

I'll say this. There's a spectrum. So no, I'm not a pajamas and slippers, but I am like an athleisure wearing nice, you know, like matching sets.

[Jesse Waters]

Sweatpants.

[Emily Compagno]

Not sweatpants, but like what's that brand I love Novel. Yes. Or the worry Rory. Yes. Also, though, I will say this, that I usually wear this is kind of embarrassing, like the biggest thing. So I feel like I just look like that big starfish from the Christmas Carol or whatever it's called, the Christmas Story, because I'm wearing like my biggest coat. I'm wearing my biggest shoes.

[Jesse Waters]

And does that make you want to fight more?

[Emily Compagno]

No. I.

[Jesse Waters]

At the airport.

[Emily Compagno]

No. And I always thank the pilot. I say thank you, sir.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Ok. All right.

[Jesse Waters]

So. So the the outfit doesn't necessarily inspire violence what do you wear?

[Kennedy]

I wear Aviator Nation head to toe with a beanie so I can pull it over my eyes. I look great. I wear Jordans, but it is comfortable clothing because I like going on long flights, and I want to be able to sleep on the plane. I always shower before I fly. The problem with the jammies, people, they don't shower. They're rolling out of bed.

[Jesse Waters]

That's right. To save time.

[Kennedy]

Absolutely. And they, they don't save us from the smells, unfortunately.

[Jesse Waters]

Okay. Jessica, have you noticed this at the airport?

[Jessica Tarloff]

Yeah. Everybody looks so sloppy. And I'm not saying that you have to look like it's your first day of work. Some are really important, but Athleisure gives us a lot of opportunities to be comfortable and to also look nice. But there are more things that need to happen at the airport to make the quality of the flying experience better, besides looking better.

[Announcer]

Right.

[Jesse Waters]

But we have to do our part as customers. Right? It's not just on Sean Duffy. Right, Greg?

[Greg Gutfeld]

I mean, it's like on commercial flights, I'll wear a nice suit. Private flights, BDSM all the way. Because it doesn't matter. Let's be honest. Airlines are now buses in the sky. We've lowered the standards. I had. You know, the broken window theory, James Q. Wilson's theory that, like, if you clean up a neighborhood, go after graffiti, public nuisances, disorderly conduct, and the larger crimes seem out of place. That applies to clothes. If you arrive at the airport, dress like you're planning to drink and brawl, you probably will. And dressing nicely will affect your identity because people will react to you differently, and you will feel like a professional because people will make you. Will make you feel like a professional by act.

[Jesse Waters]

Such a great point.

[Greg Gutfeld]

It really is, isn't it?

[Jesse Waters]

Such a great.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Coming from me.

[Jesse Waters]

Coming from you. No, you're right. Does anybody feel like we're being snobby?

[Jessica Tarloff]

No.

[Emily Compagno]

No.

[Jessica Tarloff]

We're not saying you.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Why.

[Jesse Waters]

I mean, we're, like, telling people not to dress like slobs, but, I mean.

[Kennedy]

Someone had to say it.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Thank you, Secretary Duffy, but the babies and pajamas stays.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Now, let's talk about. We talk about female pilots.

[Jesse Waters]

Now we got to go to break up. Greg. No, don't say it's just one problem. No, we're going on vacation soon. We don't need any of that. Up next, President Trump wants to make Hollywood great again by bringing back the buddy cop movie. Should I stay or should I go now?

[Kennedy]

Should I stay or should I go now?

[Emily Compagno]

Hi, I'm here to Pick up my son Milo.

[Kennedy]

There's no Milo here. Who picked up my son from school?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Streaming only on Peacock.

[Jesse Waters]

I'm going to need the name of everyone that could have a connection.

[Kennedy]

You don't understand. It was just five of us.

[Emily Compagno]

So this was all planned. What are you gonna do?

[Kennedy]

I will do whatever it takes to get my son back.

[Jesse Waters]

I honestly didn't see this coming. These nice people killing each other. All her fault.

[Announcer]

A new series streaming now only on Peacock.

[Greg Gutfeld]

The Beach Boys are great American music.

[Jesse Waters]

The Beach Boys gonna get you a great whooping.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Don't you ever touch a black man's radio, boy.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Welcome back. According to a new report from Semaphore, President Trump personally pressed Paramount owner Larry Ellison to bring back Rush Hour, the Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker buddy cop movie franchise that blended physical comedy, martial arts, and gags about racial stereotypes. And it looks like Trump got his wish. I'm shocked. Variety reports that Rush Hour 4 is in the works at Paramount at Trump's request. Greg, this is your favorite movie series, right?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Not really. I was thinking of what's my favorite buddy cop film? Dragged across concrete with Mel Gibson in Vince Vaughn. Have you ever seen that? Oh, man, you got it. I wish I was you so I could watch it again. Look, you know what I think? Here's my idea. Perfect. Buddy Film 2028. A Buddy Movie road trip movie. Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton driving across country just to see who can endure each other. Would you watch that? He would definitely do it.

[Emily Compagno]

Isn't that like that Sandra Bullock one where she's handcuffed to the prisoner Melissa McCarthy. Whatever. I didn't mean to hide.

[Kennedy]

I mean, the sexual tension between the two.

[Emily Compagno]

Beverly Hills Cop is the number one best one. Don't you guys agree? For sure.

[Greg Gutfeld]

With Judge Reinhold and.

[Emily Compagno]

Yes.

[Kennedy]

And Reiser.

[Emily Compagno]

Lethal Weapon.

[Jesse Waters]

I would love to do a buddy cop movie with Greg.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yes.

[Jesse Waters]

Like a tall point one percent black guy, short Jewish guy.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I'm not Jewish. I'm Catholic.

[Jesse Waters]

Why?

[Jessica Tarloff]

He's not black.

[Jesse Waters]

Why are you so defensive about being Jewish?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Because I control the media, Jesse.

[Jesse Waters]

I knew it. I just like that he likes stuff that has gags about racial stereotypes. We have to bring those types of movies back because it makes everybody love each other. Are you saying everybody come together saying.

[Greg Gutfeld]

There'S not enough racial stereotypes comedies in.

[Jesse Waters]

Comedies not about Jews? Greg. I'm sorry. Don't fire me.

[Kennedy]

I love the first Lethal Weapon. I thought it was absolutely incredible. I interviewed Jackie chan in the 90s when the beastie Boys were obsessed with him and he was a delight. He is a dumpling and a legend. And I have no problem with the reinvigoration of the series.

[Jesse Waters]

Did he hit on you?

[Kennedy]

There's some things I can't discuss.

[Jessica Tarloff]

One more Thing's up next.

[Emily Compagno]

It's time now for one more thing. Greg.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Tonight we got a special show. Cat Tim. Jim Florentine, Tyrus hosts. Joe Mackey, Adam Hunter. That is a fun lineup. Hey, let's do this. Greg Sultry, Meerkat news, as promised. Roll the music, please. You're in the park. Central Park. You're just reading a book. Maybe Lady Chatterley's Lover. And then he stares at you and your eyes meet and you go, no, he's not for me. He's a mere cat. Like one you'd see at the Melbourne Zoo in Australia. But you can't take your eyes off him. Look at that physique, those sloping shoulders, that neckline. Oh, my God. He's looking at me. What do I do? What do I do? He's clearly spotted me. He loves to lounge in the sun with his belly up. To absorb warmth and conserve energy. Thank you.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Wow.

[Jesse Waters]

That was really sexy. All right, there's a collaboration Hines is mashing up with Thanksgiving. This is leftover gravy, all right? It's in a squirt bottle, and it's for your leftovers. So we're gonna try it. Everyone's gonna try it. You try it on a potato chip. I'm just gonna squirt.

[Kennedy]

Oh, man.

[Jesse Waters]

I hate when that happens. Wow. There you go, Emily.

[Emily Compagno]

Thank you.

[Jesse Waters]

It was actually really good. No, it's.

[Jessica Tarloff]

This is just. Tastes good.

[Jesse Waters]

Why are you looking at me like I'm crazy? It's really good. Try some other.

[Kennedy]

No, I believe you.

[Jesse Waters]

It's Heinz. Come on. Heinz never goes wrong. Tonight, Jesse Waters, Prime Time. TDS Tuesday, the Thanksgiving edition.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Oh, man. All over my hand. I hate that. Stop it. Shut up.

[Emily Compagno]

Emily. That's me. I want to tell you about this really important, amazing thing. Two North Texas police officers hailed as heroes after a brave rescue. The two cops rushing to rescue a driver who was desperately trying to escape from a vehicle fully engulfed in flames. Those heroes are able to break a rear window, pull the driver to safely. Thank God there were no injuries. God bless those cops. Thank you for your service, Kennedy.

[Kennedy]

Jessica.

[Emily Compagno]

I mean, Jessica. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[Jessica Tarloff]

It's okay. I don't take anything personally. In Hawaii, nature putting on a fiery show. Does he want me to do more volcano stuff? So Mount Kilauea roars back to life, spewing hot, glowing lava into the air. The after the eruption has been going on since 2024. Scientists warn of dangerous volcanic gases and sharp glass like particles carried by the wind. The eruption remains contained within the national park, though, but the raw power of nature is on display.

[Emily Compagno]

Sounds like Greg's bathroom.

[Jesse Waters]

Duh.

[Kennedy]

I can do this in 10 seconds. A crackpot went to Yellowstone and tried to cavort with wolves.

[Greg Gutfeld]

What?

[Kennedy]

Yes, he went up to a pack of five black wolves and then sprayed them with bear mace.

[Jesse Waters]

What?

[Kennedy]

He's a horrible person. He's lucky he wasn't torn limb from limb. And it's only because the the pack was a bunch of male pup.

[Emily Compagno]

Please tell me he was arrested.
