Hello everyone. I'm kayleigh mcenany along with jessica tarlow, brian kilmeade, julian turner and tom shalou. It's five o' clock in new york city and this is the five. President Trump showing off the new Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews. Isn't that beautiful? That was just before heading to Camp David, delivering remarks where he touted the economic benefits of his peace deal with Iran.
C
Our country is doing so well. Those ships are flowing out of the Hormuz Strait like nobody's ever seen before. Actually, there were a lot of them, about 700 of them and they're pouring out. The oil is all over the place. You're going to see oil drop so low. And now we have an agreement that was signed last night and it's 60 days. They have to make a deal. Otherwise we, we will do things that won't make them happy. But I don't think it's going to get to that. I think it's going to be very good.
A
That comes as Vice President J.D. vance puts his Switzerland trip on hold with the fragile peace deal being confronted by new violence in the Middle East. Hezbollah attacking Israeli soldiers in Lebanon, killing four and triggering a new round of fighting before Israel and the Iran backed terror group agreed to another ceasefire. According to NBC News, President Trump spoke with Israeli officials earlier today and urged them to accept the truce. And and he had more to say during an interview with Axios.
C
If it weren't for Donald Trump, Israel would have been eviscerated.
B
Are you going to be able to
C
Control Israel from attacking Lebanon. Yeah, I will be. I mean, I wonder. They have a lot of respect for me and they do as I say.
A
So, Julian, he spoke with Israeli officials this morning and the cease fire came about fairly quickly thereafter.
D
And you know, today, since then, the foreign press has been all over this story as a boon to Israel's enemies in the region. The foreign reporting today has all been about how none of Israel's needs and wants are being met with the signing of the MoU, which is not entirely accurate. But what is interesting about this moment, Kayleigh, is for the first time since this war began, since Operation Epic Fury began, the President is having to really sort of navigate his priorities right now. He can't really push the military angle and the economic angle at once. If he moves forward, wanting to have the strait remain open, he's not going to be able to strike up military attacks as quickly as he might like to because it will shut the strait down again. He's having to tread very, very carefully and very precisely at this moment. I think in a way, may, maybe he has not been forced to do so far in this conflict, meaning if he wants to dial up military intervention because he feels like the regime is reneging on things they agreed to, the strait's going to shut down again and oil prices are going to go back up. Americans are going to feel it at the pump. And obviously that's not something he wants. So it's a, it's a real balancing act.
A
And the strait is indeed a card that Iran holds over the next 60 days. Jessica. But a card that President Trump holds. Is this headline from the Economist. Iran's battered economy will take years to recover from the war. Last month's inflation rate in Iran was 84%. They desperately need the $300 billion in cash that they seek, which would not be US cash, I would just note.
E
No, that part wouldn't be US cash, but the 5 billion that they would be getting on a monthly basis immediately because they can sell oil on the open market, which they haven't been able to do in over a decade, comes right away. And so that's not US Tax, taxpayer
A
dollar just being very.
E
No, but it's letting a regime run by a bunch of terrorists who still haven't signed on to a nucle to stop their enrichment level. What is that, 60% now to sell their oil on an open market, which is a huge concession that we gave to them in this. The $300 billion. Yes. Not out of our pockets, but out of our friends pockets. And to them, a dollar is a dollar, right? And they're going to be able to go out and they're going to spend that money. They like this deal a lot. They're basically the only people that like this deal. I mean, Gillian's right that the president has this balancing act that he has to do. His entire caucus is upset with this deal. I mean, you're listening to huge allies of the President, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley, Thune, et cetera. Everything ranging from like complete disaster to I'm very concerned. That's a Susan Collins special. But the last few days have not been great for the President. You know, the MOU itself having told us that we didn't have the actual MoU when it turned out to be exactly what we had been seeing leaked from every other press across the globe and from our own outlets in Bloomberg and in the Wall Street Journal. Iran shutting down the strait right away. And did you see that the strait authority is already accepting applications for passage in 60 days. That's when they are supposed to, you know, reevaluate. But they're going to start tolling again and you can say, oh well the Saudis aren't going to stand for that or whatever, but Iran is basically doing what they want today. I'm sure you saw the prime minister of Italy, Giorgio Meloni did like a direct to camera video refuting this absurd lie that the President told about her, that she begged him for a picture at the G7. Like he's just picking pertain to Iran. No. Well, he talked about Iran all through the G7 meeting. And by the way, France who was there as well, has said that they're not going to sign on to the UN resolution to lift the sanctions on Iran right away. So that has to do with it. I'm saying he's picking a fight that he doesn't need to pick because he's in a bad position with this. And I don't know if he felt excluded, like he didn't get the picture that he wanted or whatever, but he is not behaving like somebody who is actually in control of this.
A
Well, I saw the G7 much differently. I saw someone very much in command that being President Donald Trump. Brian, this was a memorandum of understanding. It is not a deal. We will see what the details are hopefully in 60 days if a deal is reached. But President Trump is negotiating from a posture with a Iran that has a diminished economy and Iran that has its nuclear stockpile underneath rubble because of the Ford O bombing. And he's Negotiating with an Iran that knows that the US Military is still
D
there and the top leadership.
B
So.
C
Right. And Kelly, what I think people aren't seeing, just because it's an oppressed society. We don't have many cameras on the ground. We have zero journalists. The damage that are done with 13,000 plus strikes and 8,000 from Israel, it does tremendous damage. Does anyone doubt our firepower, ability, our precision? There's tremendous damage done when it comes to this deal. In particular, the goal is get me to November. There's no doubt about it. Get me to November. The President wants to get to November, then all bets are off. What he wants to do is keep the world economy somewhat stable. Ours is ready to explode in a very good way as oil drops. And you watch what else is happening. Between the job numbers and everything, the economy is going to be going in the right direction rapidly. Affordability is going to be no longer a talking point for the left. A couple of things on the right. Josh Hawley was on with me, hosted Laura. He was all for the memorandum of understanding. Lindsey Graham this morning says, let's wait and see. This is J.D. vance's deal. Let's see how this plays out. Ted Cruz was extremely critical, no doubt about it. And there's reason to be a couple of things. If you look at Israel, I think J.D. vance has to rethink his attack on Israel. The only reason Israel attacks anyone is because they were attacked. They four IDF soldiers died. That's why they hit it. Hezbollah hits Israel because Iran tells them to. Israel isn't blowing up any deal. They're defending themselves. The minute they stop defending themselves, then they're right. Then their ability to exist diminishes. President was wrong. President is not. The president is the best friend Israel ever had. That is 100% true. But Israel will survive. There's no. They're not going to die from a nuclear weapon. They'll knock it out of the sky, do a preemptive attack. And then finally, the big difference between any deal that jcpoa with Joe Biden, anybody else from Ronald Reagan on down, this president is the only one to take military action. If they start reassembling, if they start putting together the Pickaxe facility or the Ford O facility, it's going to get blown up the next day. So they're going to be all over it. The thing that's not going to stand, you cannot allow tolling in international waters that cannot stand one day, 24 hours, that will be. That's where everything blows up.
D
So that even if they try and call it fee for security.
C
No one's that stupid. Yeah. So there's no way that'll last. And the supreme Leader, maimed and sitting in the bottom of a cave, hardly has the power to sway the president.
A
And Tom, adding to the list of what I listed out to Brian that is on the president's side was Julian, noting, the ayatollah is gone. I mean, this is a different dynamic. He was killed on February 28, the very day of the first strikes.
B
That's it. And everybody on, you know, cable TV is arguing about, oh, is this good for the president? Is this not good for the president? Take the, what I like to call the snap your fingers test. Go back to February, go to the Iranian leadership, snap your fingers, and then we're going to go to where we are right now, describe the situation, describe the agreement, describe the attacks that they withstood, describe that they're all dead. Would they take the deal? No. Snap your fingers. They wouldn't take the deal. Ask our leadership, would you go back to February with the ayatollahs in their leadership position, which them in the position of them threatening Iran? Ask Israelis, would you go back to February? No. The answer is no. So that is the reality. And when Jessicawe have these arguments every day about, oh, is this a hit to Trump and we got the elections in the fall, if you look at international television, they talk about this in terms of American power and the way the world has changed since February. They don't talk about Donald Trump. I mean, it's hard to avoid talking about Donald Trump, whether this is his victory or not, whatever. But if you look, pick up a newspaper, an Asian newspaper, European newspaper, Middle Eastern newspaper, they describe this. They describe the facts on the ground. They don't talk about, like, small ball politics in the United States. That will show you a view. And those are not pro American outlets that are making those observations.
A
All right. Well, coming up next, the Democratic Party's socialist wing is making its moves in Bernie and Zoran. Think it could be a model for the country.

And by the way, they would not be insulted with that reference. The two progressive firebrands joining forces at a rally in Brooklyn backing a slate of socialist House candidates in New York. But their ambitions stretch far beyond the Empire State. Sanders and Mandami are openly pressuring Democrats to embrace their socialist vision. Watch. What the mayor is doing here should be done all over this country. That is the message reverberating all across this country in small towns and large cities now.
B
People often ask me what I think of the state of the Democratic Party. This slate here today is our answer. The Democratic Party must change. We need a Democratic Party with backbone. A Democratic Party that offers an affirmative agenda without apology.
C
Kelly after the last election in 2024, I thought we would see a Democratic Party that would move closer to the center overall, collectively, and have somebody with charisma, military background. That's what I thought you learned from it. But I am shocked. And maybe so were Democratic establishment. The establishment that the money and the enthusiasm is behind. Outright socialists, not kind of socialists. Socialists embrace the label. What happened?
A
You know, Dana Perino says it all the time on the show, and she is 100% correct that the DSA, the Democrat Socialists of America, are organized. And we are increasingly seeing that. There was a great Washington Post opinion piece today that walks through that 200 chapters. It's what the DSA has 100,000 members. And this piece takes you through the rise of Graham Platner, how that was not something that just happened organically. It was organized by two operatives who knew about his scandals, who made sure those didn't come out, and then they come out right at the very end. But Janet Mills, the more establishment Democrat, was already out of the race at that point. So they're organized, they are planning, and there needs to be a deep reckoning within the Democratic Party. But here's the hard part. I know. Jessica, my friend, over you're not a socialist. You are more of the moderate wing of the party. But the party as a whole is representative of the socialist viewpoint. And you can look at this polling, Harry Enten, put some of it together. Mu law credible poll. What you see in that poll is Democrat socialists have a net favorability within the Democratic Party of plus 17 congressional Democrats plus four. So that way of the parties winning out. And that's not the only poll. You look at Gallup where capitalism had a plus one favorability among Democrats in 2010. Now, so socialism has a plus 24 advantage over capitalism today. So Democrats have to oust this part of their party or embrace it or cater to it. But it is a real problem that they have when the base of their party is so in step with an ideology that has failed wherever it's been tried. Cuba, the Soviet Union, and the list goes on.
C
So I cannot wait, Jessica, to see what you have to say. Because my gut feeling would be if they told me this is the scenario in 2026, after 24, I would say, well, if the Socialists do rise, Pelosi, Jeffries, Schumer, Dick Durbin, they would push back. They'd have a few press conferences and say, no, no, Janet Mills is the Sabbath. Which, by the way, Schumer was for. He tried. So, like, why wouldn't they use their political power and their street smarts and their savvy to push back on their own party?
E
They have been doing the best that they can. Like Hakeem Jeffries is supporting all of the moderate or establishment candidates in our New York primaries. We go to both the last day. Tuesday's election day. Early voting's already open. He's out there, you know, back in Dan Goldman, for instance, with Brad Lander coming up.
C
He's losing by about 20.
E
I know, it's great. And I'm in Dan Goldman's district. I did not expect it to be that enormous of a spread, but Mamdani's backing is meaningful to people in this city. And that was the trade that Brad Lander made during the mayoral. The one that I want to focus on. Who is the most disturbing to me, though, is this Darieliza Avia Chevalier. She's been doing interviews, which is good. You should be out there doing that. This woman is out of her mind. She's a prison abolitionist, and she was doing an editorial board meeting about it. They asked her four times what she would do with a murderer. No answer. No answer. And you've heard Bernie Sanders goes everywhere, right? Does all the media has some of the toughest talk about the border, right? Says our party failed on the border. Of course you have to have borders. That's a ludicrous idea. Well, what do you think about a prison abolitionist, then? She's with us to Ed Herndon on America, actually, his podcast. He asked about this deleted tweet. She was smart enough to go around deleting tweets, at least, but she had this one that said, all deportations are wrong. So he pushed her, and she said, well, you know, there's, you know, the good guys, right? Like the guys they're picking up at Home Depot. He goes, that's not what we're talking about. Everyone agrees with that. Generally speaking. We're not talking about the infraction, the administrative infraction of crossing the border. I'm saying, what if someone violates US Criminal law here? She says, well, we have a criminal justice system. Well, guess what? They're not ours. Send them back to where they're from. That's like the 8020 issue of our time, right? And she's, I think she is not going to win the primary. But something like that, you have to be even more forceful than just saying, you know, yeah, we should talk about Medicare for all or something. The stuff around the criminal justice system is the most dangerous aspect, I think, of the DSA philosophy.
C
You know, when Bill Cosby scandal broke out or the Michael Jackson thing first popped up, people go, wow, this caught me by surprise. But you know who probably wasn't caught by surprise is, and that's Van Damme. He knew all this stuff before he said, I'm going to put all my weight behind her, even though she's an underdog. Why would someone who wants a promising future as mayor of New York City put it on the line endorsing someone with these type of beliefs on the record?
D
I don't know. But I will say that I think that the surge in the socialism that we're seeing is not accidental. It's not coincidental. I think it ties directly back to the mismanagement of the economy that led to sky high inflation over the last five or so years, beginning with COVID escalating through the Biden administration. The one thing, I mean, there's a lot to be critical of in the DSA platform, but the one thing they are doing that I think the broader Democratic umbrella party is failing to grasp is that dissatisfaction with the economy nationwide still remains the dominant driver of politics in this country. The majority of American voters still feel that the lived economy is very uncomfortable. They can't afford the same things that they used to be able to. And the Democratic socialists have seized on that. They have identified that problem and tried to drive it home. Now, we can argue about, obviously, the policy solutions, right? But in terms of voters feeling like somebody is understanding the pain that they are feeling, they were hitting the nail on the head with this. And in that sense, it's not surprising that in New York and California, places like that, voters who, you know, are left will skew farther left to embrace this kind of a thing. Also remember, you know, during the campaign the last cycle, President Biden was criticized roundly for dismissing bad polling. He was getting around the issue of affordability. He kept telling voters, including his own, that it was not as bad as it felt and it was not as bad as it seemed. The data didn't match up with what they were experiencing. And I think that was a big mistake and that's why you're seeing this so called surge right now. Cuz these candidates have been around for a long time. They weren't breaking through. Now they're breaking through.
C
So Tom, if you look at the real clear, real clear still Mike Rogers, typical Republican conservative Republican is upward trailing by one to Al Said, who's another guy that is way an extreme socialist. And if you look at Susan Collins, Susan Collins is still trailing Platner. So could this be a general election successful strategy?
B
Yes. And I think I'll combine that with your last question, which I'd like to take a crack at. Why would they do this? Why would Mamdani do something that is bad for the Democratic Party? AOC does it? Why? Because they don't care that it's bad for the Democratic Party because they are trashing the party. These people are party crashers. They showed up at your party, Jessica. They brought their own booze. They're wrecking the place. They don't care. They don't care. They're going to take it down. So can you get rid of them? You can't. It's over. Your party has been invaded by socialists and they will never get rid of them. The only thing they can do is carve the party in half. Let the socialists have their party.
A
Or we could beat them.
B
Well, go ahead. Go up against them. But the thing is they're too strong now. You let them in your party, Jessica.
C
Who's the most popular Democrat? Barack Obama.
A
Bernie Sanders.
E
Barack Obama.
D
Michelle.
C
What about Michelle? Who's mentoring Mondame? Barack Obama.
E
Well, he read a storybook with him with some story some of them. But listen, I'm a very dull corporate establishment Dem, right in the main scheme of these things. But if you like Gillian was talking about, if you turn your back on a movement of people with a lot of young people saying I went and got this college degree, right. I can't get a good enough job. I can't afford to move out of my mom's basement, whatever it is, and you pooh pooh all of their concerns, they're saying we need Medicare for all. You lose a generation. And that's true on the right as well. Donald Trump recognized this the same way that Bernie Sanders did in 2016. And had that economic populism to the way that he was talking.
C
Right. So pick up something from it. But also, I think a lot of those people should stop the purple hair, take out the nose rings and get ready. Ready to go find.
E
Not my favorite fashion choice.
C
No. But coming up straight ahead, the DOJ cracking down in the MLB after the league issued a warning to players putting Bible verses on pride hats.
E
This episode is brought to you by Starbucks.
C
That is fire.
D
Whoa, that's good.
B
This might be the drink of the summer.
D
I like this one, too.
B
I'm rocking with it.
A
Okay, try it for yourself. Starbucks refreshers concentrates are coming home.
E
Find them in the coffee aisle and make it yours.
D
Welcome back. The DOJ launching a civil rights investigation into Major League Baseball after the league warned a few San Francisco Giants players who wrote Bible verses on the rainbow colored hats during a Pride Night promotion last week. The players, J.T. brubaker, Ryan Walker and Landon Roof wrote Genesis 9, 12, 16 next to the rainbow logo. That then set off this major controversy with critics claiming the league was penalizing players for their Christian faith. Here's Christian. Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Ryan Thompson arguing why that move was not meant to be offensive.
B
Listen, I think that there's a perceived negativity with this stuff of like, okay, Landon Rout wrote a verse on his hat that he's anti something. That doesn't mean that. Right. It means that he's pro something. Right. So the Rainbow means something to him. It means that he believes in the Noahic covenant being something that's special to us as Christians.
D
That is not all. Minor league team in Pennsylvania, the York Revolution, canceled and then forfeited their Pride Night game just yesterday after players on that team flat out refused to wear rainbow colored jerseys. All right, Brian, I am admittedly not a theologian. However, can you break down for us what supporters of the Pride movement would find offensive about those Bible verses on the hats?
C
Pass. No, that would be some for Kaylee. I cannot.
A
You're not known for your theology.
C
Thank you very much, Kaylee. That's a nice way to put it. Although Carl Dolan really likes me. I don't know how that is. But here's the thing. I just think you put yourself in a lot of position. Imagine if they had pro life nights and they had something on their hats. There would be 50% of the players would be like, what are you doing? I'm not doing that. Why they think that this would ever. I never thought twice about it, you know, Next thing you know, they're Trying to sell a jersey. They have some type of theme. They have, like, throwback night. I could see a salute to the military. I could see a salute to Jackie Robinson or things like that. What is baseball doing, having a Pride night? You're forcing people to take a position. And to me, you put these guys in an impossible position. God forbid they do something besides sports and stand for something besides a strikeout. So you put them in a position where in order for them to be comfortable with themselves, they have to say something. And now they're in the middle of this. And I ask you, whose idea was this? You don't have to get involved in Pride Night. We're going to have heterosexual night where only heterosexuals can wear hats. Yeah, but we don't know, you know, so I don't know. I don't know who wants Pride Night and who does. It's not my business. To me, this is. This is a. This is a problem that should have risen up all a long time ago. I give credit to these players who thought it's not okay.
D
But I will tell you what they were thinking, what MLB was thinking here. This is the city of San Francisco. They are thinking, jessica, let's sell a bunch more hats. Let's try and make a buck off of this. Which is kind of disgraceful in its own right.
E
And it is a national trend that they do this. But San Francisco is the gayest city in the country. Right. So they are speaking to their base in. In some way. But the most important part of the story is that it was not mandatory for the players to wear the hat. It's the same thing with the NHL where they've seen. We've seen controversy over that, too. Players think, I don't want to wear this, so just don't wear it. There was one of the pitchers who wore the regular SF hat and didn't wear the Pride Night hat. So. And the MLB position looked it up. The rules are that there's a ban on all writing on your game caps, including tributes to family and messages. I understand there'. There's been some uneven enforcement of that in the past, and I know the minor league team. I think it was mandated, and I think that that is wrong. But if the policy is that you want to wear the Pride Night paraphernalia, then go ahead and do it. And if you don't want to wear it, that is your right. Absolutely. And the policy is just don't be writing extra stuff on it.
D
But at the same time, Kelly, like, speech is speech, right? In this country. And so if the MLB is going to message in the hat, in the uniforms in some way, then why shouldn't the players be allowed to as well?
A
Exactly. And not only that, I know there's this EEOC investigation by doj, but Josh Hawley makes a great point in the letter he wrote standing up for these players. He points out that we have essentially waived antitrust law for the mlb. A sweeping judicially manufactured exemption from the federal antitrust laws. It's a privilege that has had bipartisan skepticism in recent years. And if we've given you this privilege, MLB essentially a workaround around antitrust laws, you owe us an extra modicum of transparency in what you are doing. And that's fair to ask for. When you look at the players who wrote Cuba SOS on their hat, were they warned? There have been other family tributes, and I think beautiful ones that should have been allowed an exemption like number 51 when a player lost his daughter. But the point is, where are the warnings in all the other situations? The warning only comes up here. So it seems like an uneven enforcement. And I just want to give a hat tip to these players we're looking at for expressing their faith. That's a courageous thing to do. You could argue it's antithetical to your own self interest because you're after all, working for the MLB and these teams. So good for you for stating your religious beliefs. The young man that we played defending these guys happens to be my soon to be brother in law, Ryan Thompson. He's engaged to Ryan McEnany, my sister. And he stood up for these guys, Ryan and Ryan, One N, they call one N and double N. But you know, he talked very beautifully, not about any of the politics of this, but what the Genesis 9 verse means, the Noahic covenant. And I thought that was a very beautiful indication and explanation of why these players felt it was important to put Genesis 9 on their hat.
D
Can you tell us real quick?
A
I mean, that's the question I always read. I'll be the theologian here because I've got it right here on the tip of my pen. And God said, this is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you. A covenant for all generations to come that he would never flood the earth again. And the rainbow as a sign of that, which is how I've thought about the rainbow my entire life, from my early days in Sunday school to now. And that's all these players were saying. This is what the rainbow means to them.
C
Doesn't explain Sandy. That seemed like a FL. Biblical.
A
Hey, it was not a God ordained one. Okay, so there you go.
C
Brian didn't flood everything.
A
More theology in the commercial breakthrough. Thank you very much.
C
I wanted an arc.
D
You got to bring us home on the pride hats.
B
Okay, well, you know, sometimes people think it's unseemly fighting all these little cultural battles. Oh, what are you. You talking about Cracker Barrel for the past two weeks? Yes, we're talking about Cracker Barrel. We're talking about Bud Light. I know Bud Light. We fought that thing for.
E
That was like a year.
B
Unfortunately, we have to fight these little cultural battles because corporate America is the worst. They have been captured by the left. They do. They are very scared, very wary of any religious expression at all. Oh, but they love these political organizations. And that's what the Pride movement, LGBT and also Black Lives Matter captured. Corporate America and corporate America was under their spell. And these are not benign organizations. They're very political organizations. They essentially forced these players to be wearing this pride flag. And yeah, they could take their hat off, Jessica. And then they're on the COVID of every newspaper. Look at this person. He hates pride. It's all cultural signaling. We should fight the battle. I'm glad these guys are fighting it. And when you grow tired of fighting over Cracker Barrel, we have to make these companies suffer until they stop knuckling under to cultural Marxists. Thank you.
D
I will never tire of fighting about Cracker Barrel. Personally, I don't know about you guys. We should do a whole show on it. Maybe in the next couple of weeks during the summer.
C
I will pay you not to.
D
The cycle gets.
C
I was so done with that.
D
World cup visitors came here for the soccer, but they are leaving with a new obsession, and it is ranch dressing. We're going to get into that coming
C
up next and we'll talk more. 250 years ago, a nation born in revolution, founded by an idea.
B
Freedom.
C
That one simple declaration took us to
D
places we never dreamed of.
A
From 13 small colonies to 50 United States.
C
From fledgling republic to leader of the free world.
B
We don't always agree, but we're free, free, free, free to disagree. America isn't just a place. It's an idea the world depends on.
D
And freedom, like all great ideas, grows stronger with time.
E
America. 250.
B
Fox News Channel America. America is watching.
E
European World cup fans are getting their minds absolutely blown by ranch dressing. Yes, that magical American mixture of buttermilk herbs and pure freedom. They love it so much that the tsa has been issuing multiple warnings telling them to pack it in your checked bag on the way home. And please avoid chugging your ranch outside security. The airlines will check it for you. And I bet they'll be jealous of our big beautiful ranch spread. Here we're spotlight. We're celebrating America kicking the Australian's butt. Team USA just won, two to nil.
C
Nil. I love it. Look at you. Stock your vernacular.
E
Well, I. I lived in London for six years.
C
I didn't know that.
E
I've like, gone to like, violent soccer games.
C
I love seeing. Look at the celebration. They're like, it's not a surprise. We won 2 0. They just got through.
E
And now they got our ear.
C
Why not? I mean, if you could have Cape Verde beating behemoths of the world or tying them, anything could happen. And this team has looked as good as any of the tourists.
B
Aren't we supposed to be talking about ranch dressing?
C
So what makes it so special?
B
It's special because it's American. And I'm not surprised the Europeans are taking the ranch dressing home with them. They can do whatever they want with it. They can shampoo with it. Take some other American things. How about the Red Solo cup? Europeans, your cups are too small. How about this? Tipping. Tipping. Europeans. Take that home with you. Okay. I used to be a waiter. How about this? Inches and feet. Centimeters are too small. Meters are too big. Take those home with you.
D
Check out ice.
B
Check out ice. Yeah, Ice in your glass. Okay. Cheerleaders, don't take ours. Make your own. And toilets with water in them. It looks like the display toilet. Okay. Put some water in your toilet. Your.
C
I had. Don't you think? Isn't it shocking that we came up with ranch dressing? I thought it was great that we went to the moon, but this is even better.
E
It does not shock me. And shout out to Hidden Valley Ranch that they already are making the 3.4 milliliter size one. So you can bring it on board if you need.
A
Yeah, I mean, look, I was told I was a communist today because. Yeah, Jessica, I'm a communist.
E
Who would say that to you, Joey Jones?
A
Because I don't like ranch dressing. And I'm sorry. Hidden Valley, like, I support you. You're an American company. But I have never liked ranch dressing. I'm on board with sour cream. Very on board with this.
E
You don't have a blue cheese with your wings or no sauce?
A
No, no. I don't eat wings. I don't eat blue cheese. I eat Taco Bell. And shout out To Freddie, this guy who's like, loving all these American things, he loves Ella Langley. He went to the concert and he went to Taco Bell and he called it the Holy Grail. So all the single ladies out there, if Freddie's single, you gotta find out who he is.
E
Jillian.
D
I mean, I'm with Kayleigh. I don't love ranch. I don't like sour cream either, though.
E
I don't eat sour cream.
D
But here's the thing. I support all these people eating as much ranch dressing as they want. I totally get it. You're having, like some wings or some
C
veggies or something, but you can't have it straight.
D
I perused this on TikTok, and these people are maniacs. They're putting it on, like, pizza. They're putting it on everything. It's like peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I mean, that is. I can't even say it out loud.
C
I'm being supervision.
D
It's disgusting.
C
They need supervision.
D
That is not okay.
B
Little bottles is the key. That's the. That's the sign. The little bottle. It's just like with the alcohol. If you're carrying little bottles of ranch, you're a ranchaholic.
A
Julian. I will say, if you get a hankering for pizza and mayonnaise right down the road from Georgetown, so your neck of the woods, they have pizza and these big jugs of ranch that kids like pile on their pizza. Disgusting. Vomit inducing.
D
Just foul.
E
One of my favorite SNL skits ever is Melissa McCarthy as a hidden Valley Ranch tester. Oh, yes. That is unbelievably funny. Worth your three and a half minutes or whatever. It was fan mail Friday, September next.
B
It is fan mail Friday. Okay, question number one. You haven't been given these questions.
C
I know. I asked.
B
Okay. From Facebook, from Nancy. Are you a secret keeper or a teller?
D
Me?
B
Yeah.
D
Why do I always go first with fan mail friends? I'm definitely a secret keeper.
B
You are.
D
If. If we're friends and I like you and I tell. It's like a vault.
B
If you have to qualify, though, or
D
also, like, with sources, obviously, you gotta, like, be able to be trustworthy.
B
Okay. Yeah. Reporting.
D
I mean, socially, I'm like. With my friends and secrets, what I
C
would do is I take a secret and I'll just tell one person, say, don't tell anyone. I don't know what category that puts me in.
B
I'll tell you. If you tell ever tell at all. You're a teller.
C
Say anything. But if I tell them not to
D
say anything, do you tell Your wife, everything. Like, I've noticed a lot of people, like, they have to tell their spouse, and then they can keep it from everybody else.
B
Yeah, no, that. That's.
C
I tell the stuff I think she'd be interested in. I don't want to bore it with stuff.
B
I'm gonna change the rules in the middle of the game. You can tell your spouse. You can if you're a teller to your spouse. That counts as a keeper, Jessica.
E
Oh, then keeper. But it irritates me because my husband is a secret keeper. Not even to his spouse. And I'll be like, did you know this? He's like, yeah, of course. He's like, I've known that for months. And I'm like, why did you not tell me? And he was like, well, it's not really your business.
C
That's good.
E
I'm like, do you know what marriage is?
A
You have to draw the line between secrets that are important to keep and those that are not. So some of them, if someone confides you in trust, don't share. But, for instance, like, I knew about my sister's engagement, and I didn't tell her that it was coming. But, like, I. Oh, there was encouragement to, like, wear a dress at a certain time. So that's like a secret. Yeah, That's a nuance. A nuanced secret.
C
Correct.
B
Yeah. This is secret for you have another question?
C
Yes.
B
Question two. Facebook, from Vicki. What is your favorite sports moment of all time? Brian, I know you want to start right here.
C
Okay. It's going to be unexpected. Mike Tyson, Holyfield. I believe the first time they fought when everyone was scared of Tyson. When Holyfield fought him after the first round, showing that he was not afraid. Remind me a lot of Rocky 3, when Rocky was scared the first time but came back was not scared the second time. More on that later.
B
A real fight and a fictitious fight. Jillian, sports moment. Yeah. I'll tell you one. Okay. I was at the Red Sox. Dewey Evans. It was the first time I saw. He threw. He threw someone out at home plate from right field. I couldn't believe you were there. Yes, I was there. That's it. Okay.
A
I hope I don't have the facts wrong on this, but I was in love with the Indianapolis Colts. My dad took me to the Super Bowl. We sat in the front row, and I believe it was the first play of the game when the Indianapolis Colts made a touchdown on the first play of the game in the Super Bowl. It was amazing.
B
Oh, holy cow. Jessica.
D
Okay.
E
Recency bias. OJ Anobi tip in game four, this year's.
B
What language are you speaking?
C
New York.
A
Sounded like Star Wars.
C
Greatest game ever.
B
Obviously I don't know much about that.
C
Yeah, it is.
B
One More Thing is up next.
A
It's time now for One More Thing. And over to the World cup correspondent, Brian.
C
All right, so when we came to our show, it was still going on. Now it's finally over. The US wins again. Final score, two nothing. They win convincingly. They score in the 11th minute. And again, Antonio Freeman's son, the outstanding Green Bay Packer. His son is an outstanding soccer player. 43rd minute on a header. The U.S. beats Australia, two nothing. They now have six goals in two games. Led up just one. Nobody expected this kind of start. It is the best start in the history of United States soccer. And they did it without their best player, Christian Pulisic. Now, if Paraguay wins tonight and knocks off Turkey, the US Will get through in first place. And by the way, if you want to see me in person, and these guys are lucky enough to see me all the time. Pensacola, Florida on the 11th. It's streamed on Fox Nation. Red Bank, New Jersey, Westbury, Long Island, Clearwater, Jacksonville and Chesterfield.
A
Briankilmead.com those were impressive Cliff notes of the game, Julian.
D
Yeah, it was pretty, pretty pro. All right. Some personal. Well, not personal to me, but personal news. Breaking news we all know and love. Jackie Heinrich here at Fox News Channel. She is getting married tomorrow. It's a huge day. She's gonna be getting married to Pennsylvania Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick. We could not be more ecstatic for them, more love filled for them on this big day. They're getting married tomorrow right here in New York City, actually, which is pretty cool.
C
We won't say exactly where.
D
We're not going to divulge any more.
E
It's just a very small.
C
They're a fantastic couple.
D
Cannot wait to see them live the rest of their lives together.
E
Also, I want to say Brian, but I don't know him, but. So Congressman Fitzpatrick's proposal put all other proposals to shame. Lavender Field. Very quickly, California surfer had a special encounter with a very curious shark drone. Footage captured shows the large fish circling and later following the paddling surfer. The videographer said he was even nervous revving the drone's engine to warn the sur. Luckily, this encounter ended a bit better than Jaws.
A
Awesome. Well, it is very rare that politicians are responsive to news items immediately. But in this case, Senator Joni Ernst was. She will be on Saturday in America tomorrow. We told you about fraud influencers who are bragging about their fraud online, soliciting people to engage in fraud with them. In one case, a government official, well, she has a GAO investigation now. She's going to share this with us. Very exciting. 10am tomorrow. Tom.
B
Yes. Take a look at my two plugs. Tonight I'm guest hosting for Government Rutfeld, Dagan Voss, Timf Malice. Okay, page two. Come see my live dates. Look at those three big live dates.
C
