00:00Hello there, everybody. I'm Martha McCallum, along with Joey Jones, Jessica Tarlov, Jesse
00:09Waters and Greg Gutfeld. There you are. It's five o'clock in New York City, and this is
00:15the five. Protesters are gearing up for the second anti-Trump, no kings protest nationwide.
00:41More heated clashes erupting outside the Broadview, Illinois ice facility near Chicago.
00:46This is a common occurrence now. It happens every Friday morning. Today, at least 16 people were
00:51arrested at this protest. Former CNN anchor Don Lemon wants to just rev the whole thing up a
00:58little bit more. He's calling for people to arm themselves. Watch this. If you believe in the
01:04Second Amendment, if you believe in the Constitution, black people, brown people of all stripes, whether
01:10you're an Indian American or a Mexican American or whoever you are, go out in your place where you
01:16live and get a gun legally, get a license to carry legally. Because when you have people knocking on
01:25your door and taking you away without due process as a citizen, isn't that what the Second Amendment
01:33was written for? All right, we're going to talk about that. Meanwhile, the media and Democrats
01:38pumping up this weekend's anti-Trump no kings rally as the only way to save democracy.
01:44There is nothing more American than a political process. The American Revolution was a no kings rally.
01:54And that this unhinged White House spokesperson would suggest that that's hateful. That's not hateful.
02:02What's hateful is what happened on January 6th. That was a hate America rally sponsored by Donald Trump.
02:10I don't think you're going to walk away from this weekend and come to the conclusion that America
02:14doesn't care about the destruction of our democracy. They're trying to call us terrorists,
02:21the Hamas wing of the party. I mean, the s**t that they are saying is disgusting.
02:27President Trump speaking with Maria Bartiromo and responding to all of this and the upcoming
02:32no kings protests.
02:34Mr. President, do you think that the government shutdown is all about this
02:37rally that's happening this weekend? The no kings rally?
02:40No, I mean, some people say they want to delay it for that. A king. This is not a king.
02:47You know, they're saying they're referring to me as a king. I'm not a king.
02:51All right. Joey, let's start with you. And let's start with Don Lemon's point that he made there.
02:59Everybody should go out and get a gun.
03:01Yeah, I agree with him completely. Everybody should go out and get a gun legally where you can.
03:07The problem is just about any city that has laws he's advocated for, you can't get one legally,
03:11even if you are a citizen. On top of that, if you are a citizen and they're coming to your house and
03:16beating the door down, it's because your hermano is illegal and he's wanted for rape or murder.
03:21He brought a backpack of drugs here with him and he needs to go. And if you have a problem with that
03:25and pull a gun out on ice for doing their job, you'll suffer the same lowly fate that a lot of people
03:29have. And then they'll all be crying at your funeral. That's just the truth of it.
03:33Absolutely. The Second Amendment is in part to repel tyranny. This isn't tyranny. This is
03:39the law. This is enacting the law. And let's just say if anything happens to an ICE agent,
03:44Don Lemon now has blood on his hands. If he had a platform big enough to reach people that we didn't
03:49lend him by playing that video. Jessica, what do you think as you look at these protests and what
03:55Joey just said about the lawful apprehension of individuals that ICE has worked on, cases that
04:01they've worked on, who they are and the other people that they're rounding up have agitated against
04:07them or threatened them in some of these situations in the Broadview protests?
04:10Sure. They certainly have rounded up some bad hombres. And I think if you attack a police officer,
04:17then you should be taken in and also get your due process rights. But we also know there was a
04:23pro publica investigation that more than 170 Americans have been detained by ICE with 20
04:29held for more than a day without being able to contact their lawyer or a loved one. And that's
04:34what the no kings protest is about. Donald Trump says, I'm not a king. And yeah, we get it. You're
04:38not a king. You wish you were a king and you're running this administration as if you should have
04:43those kinds of rights. The lack of respect for the constitution and the laws of this country are
04:49astounding. And Trump even told Kristen Welker when he was on Meet the Press a few months ago that he
04:53didn't know if he had to uphold the constitution. And in preparation for today's show, I just wanted
04:59to go over, you know, a few of the things that people who are going to be out there on the streets
05:04peacefully protesting are upset about, starting with the basics, signing an executive order to
05:09do away with birthright citizenship, which is literally in the constitution, sending troops
05:14into blue cities, unilaterally implementing tariffs, which Congress gets to do.
05:20I already talked about the 170 Americans who've been locked up, cracking down on the First Amendment,
05:25detaining students for op-eds you don't like, targeting law firms, universities, reallocating
05:30funds appropriated by Congress to fund your big ICE force, firing inspectors, generals that are looking
05:36into your friends like Elon Musk, making billions off of crypto scams. And your kids are running all over
05:42the world making deals. Um, and the Trump administration has defied one in three judges
05:48that have ruled against him. And you're seeing that from judges appointed up from Reagan up to Donald
05:53Trump that are saying, absolutely not. You are breaking the law in taking some of these actions.
05:59All of that is what No King's Day is about. Then why are they always dressed like a furry
06:03screaming about boys and girls? Well, to show how ridiculous. Like they are ridiculous.
06:08Wouldn't you rather they be in a costume or spirit Halloween? If they want to make some sort of
06:12intellectual argument, I don't think dressing up like a unicorn and running out there and
06:15screaming every time you hear the drum beat. It is an intellectual argument to say,
06:18that's how you do that. That's just what I would tell them.
06:19We're making it up about what's going on here at that ICE facility because I'm dressed as Pikachu
06:25and posing no threat. They arrested a guy who was singing.
06:28What? Did you hear it? His voice was terrible, Jessica. All right,
06:32Jesse. Let's bring the intellectuality to this. Is President Trump a king?
06:36Well, I celebrate No King's Day on July 4th with the rest of the normal Americans
06:41by barbecuing and lighting off fireworks. The Democrats, every time they do gather together,
06:47it's not mostly peaceful. The BLM riots, Portland, the anti-Musk protests. Every time you guys get
06:55together, someone dies or there's a lot of fires. Usually we come out and do these things and it
07:05springs forth the Tea Party. That was like a legitimate protest movement. The Democrats are
07:12trying to do their little Tea Party thing. Ours was a little more organic. This seems a little more
07:17astroturfed. And remember ours, we had political candidates that came out of it. There was a lot of
07:22organization. There was money raised. There was policies behind it. And it got a lot of traction.
07:29And I don't know if this has legs. I'm not really sure. But the Democrats aren't really about democracy.
07:34They took 14 million votes from Joe Biden and crowned Kamala Harris, who got none.
07:40The Democrats rig primaries against Bernie. And then when they do get power, they censure free speech
07:46and lock up their political opponents. As a matter of fact, Joe Biden was kind of treated like a frail,
07:52ailing king himself. He hid. He ate ice cream. He napped. And if you got near him, he snapped.
07:59Now, I do agree with you on Don Lemon. And I love how Donald Trump has made Don embrace the Second
08:05Amendment. Every law abiding American should arm themselves. Everyone except my mom.
08:11Even even Jessica should get a gun to protect herself from Greg. But when you do get a gun,
08:19your first gun, something changes in your body. You start respecting the law. It makes you a different
08:28person. It makes you understand police. It makes you cautious and concerned. And sooner or later,
08:38you're going to start buying land in Montana and then you're going to vote for America first.
08:43So, Jessica, I would like to almost gift you a weapon.
08:47So I move to Montana. Will you also buy me a ranch?
08:50I'll buy you one acre. Land is cheap. Jesse Waters will buy land in Montana. The rest of us
08:55is more like West Virginia. I'll come hang out with you in Georgia. All right. Let's get Greg in here,
09:00Greg. Well, I always Jessica did this list persuasion. You know,
09:07when you just start nailing all these things down. First Amendment, the universities, ICE,
09:11crypto. I think there were like three other things. But I got to wonder, was that the same
09:16list from a year ago? Because this is the second time it wasn't because it wasn't those issues back
09:21then. It's not about those issues this year the way it wasn't about those issues last year. It's
09:25always about Trump and the mass hysteria around Trump. They have to preserve it because it's all they've
09:32invested into. It says something that no kings is happening while Trump is brokering peace around
09:38the world. He's done like, I don't know, seven, eight piece deals. It shows that that doesn't
09:41matter. It's you know, it's a full blown emotional vendetta has taken over their lives. Doesn't matter
09:48what he does. So how is this possible? How can you have good things happening around the world
09:53and people participating in mass hysteria? Because it's easy and it's fun. Anger requires
10:01no thought, no labor, no risk. Remember how Biden played the rage card whenever he never did anything
10:08else? Remember the rioting and looting after George Floyd? It was a replacement for thoughtful
10:12action. And the media decided to redefine it as a struggle that whenever, you know, anybody did
10:19something violent. It had something to do with some kind of struggle. Having the no kings event
10:24after Trump, you know, figures out Middle East peace. It's like holding a wedding after the couple
10:33broke off the engagement the night before. We're still going to go through with the ceremony anyway.
10:39We paid for the food. We already made the flyers. But the media indulges this idea that passion
10:45equals effort and they reward people for their feelings and not and not what they're actually
10:50doing. So it's a perfect it's a perfect example again of an imaginary solution for an imaginary problem.
10:57The trans bathrooms, the climate models, white supremacy in the military. These were all imaginary
11:03problems that then called for imaginary solution. The problem is the trans solution and a lot of these
11:09protest solutions. They're not harmless like you could have surgical or psychological division in
11:16any of those if it's just some mindless little thing where you're just standing out in front of
11:20Fox yelling like those little old ladies do. By the way, I think no you can't spell no kings without no
11:25kin. A lot of these people just don't have family and this is what they do. As for Don Lemon, you're right.
11:32You're right. I wish I could buy a gun in New York City, but I can't because people like Don Lemon have
11:41forbade me from doing that. I've never heard him talk on behalf of the Second Amendment and for my right
11:46to own a gun in New York City. You wouldn't believe the hoops I have to jump through and I won't get
11:52into it. But he also worked under the assumption at CNN that he was a reputable, unbiased journalist.
11:58But now you he removed the pompous scaffolding of a cable news channel and you see that he's a super
12:06self-serving bent crank with emotional issues. The fact that he's like preaching an armed uprising
12:12after Charlie Kirk was murdered says that he he's this isn't just hyperbole to him. It's a violent
12:20movement that he wants to get in front of for clicks and likes because he's got nothing else.
12:26Yeah, I would just say that, you know, if you want to see a king and authoritarian look at Vladimir
12:32Putin, who is sending people to be slaughtered in huge waves and they have no choice in the matter.
12:39You look at an energetic executive, you have a lot of action happening. And that makes a lot of people
12:45nervous because they're used to the prior administration when there wasn't really an energetic executive.
12:51And so you are going to see pushback. But we see President Trump sometimes get things through,
12:56sometimes get blocked. And his government is shut down right now. It isn't really something that he
13:02wants to be seeing. But, you know, there are checks and balances and you see them playing out every day.
13:06But what you see is someone pushing against it and seeing what they can get
13:10under presidential powers. And I think there are, you know, there are checks on that. So coming up,
13:18debate night in America, Zoran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa brawling it out in New York last
13:25night, while Jay Jones answers for his murder texts in Virginia.
13:41He literally has never had a job. On his resume, it says he interned for his mother. He had to
13:45say, hold me now, hold me now, I'm six feet on the air tonight.
13:52Debate night in America. In New York, socialist Zoran, uh, socialist Zoran and Andrew Cuomo and
13:59Republican Curtis Sliwa brawling over who should run the Big Apple.
14:04He literally has never had a job. On his resume, it says he interned for his mother.
14:10He had more than 10 years and he couldn't name a single mosque.
14:14I know you think you're the toughest guy alive, but let me tell you something. You lost your own
14:21primary, right? You were rejected by your Democrats. And you have a difficult understanding
14:27that what the term no is. You're not going to stand up to Donald Trump.
14:32I am not running to defund the police. I am running to actually work with the police
14:36to deliver public safety. Andrew Cuomo says that he has stood up to ICE.
14:39He has not said a word about the abductions that are happening right now.
14:42The DSA, which you give your part of your salary to, that's their position, abolish jails,
14:48no new carceral facilities, don't enforce misdemeanors.
14:52Thank God I'm not a professional politician. We have the architect and we have the apprentice
14:58of no cash bail, which has been a disaster. We have the architect and the apprentice here
15:03of raise the age. Yeah, and that wasn't the only debate over in Virginia. Things were heating up.
15:09Democratic candidate for attorney general Jay Jones was on the defense. Jones apologizing for his sick
15:15murder text messages. The ones where he talked about putting two bullets into a GOP colleague's head.
15:21I am ashamed. I am embarrassed. And I'm sorry. I am sorry to Speaker Gilbert. I'm sorry to his family.
15:33I'm sorry to my family. And I'm sorry to every single Virginian. I cannot take back what I said.
15:42But you have my word that I will always be accountable for my mistakes.
15:45Saying that he is sorry. Jay, if you're really sorry, you wouldn't be running. If you really
15:51understood the ramifications of what you said about an innocent mom and her children.
15:59Martha, you sat down with Zoran. You got to meet him face to face, get a feel for him. Did you see
16:04anything in that debate that surprised you? Did it kind of play out the way you thought it would?
16:08Well, I asked him the other day if he thought Hamas should lay down their arms and pointed out to him
16:12that they're now shooting people inside shooting Palestinians inside of Gaza. And he said, I don't
16:18have an opinion on that. No, I wouldn't necessarily suggest that Hamas has to lay down their arms.
16:24This is after calling for a ceasefire for months and months and months over the course of this. But
16:30then last night when they asked him, he said he smiled and he said, absolutely, Hamas needs to lay
16:35down their arms. So this is something that he thought about after an unsuccessful exchange over that
16:41issue and changed his mind on last night. They pressed him on a lot of things. I pressed
16:44him on a lot of things. The experience issue is another big one. He, you know, he has not
16:50ever really held a job other than assemblymen. We have lots of long-term politicians who have,
16:57I mean, I don't think Joe Biden never had a job except for being in office. But we do find that
17:03it's pretty helpful to people like Mayor Bloomberg, for example, when they've run something,
17:07when they've managed something before they get to the job. So but, you know, I think he did what
17:12he had to do last night in terms of sort of keeping his position. And he's well ahead at this moment.
17:17Jesse, I mean, I think most people say you've had a job. I don't know. But you at least understand.
17:22Is this a job? No, every day, a little under the belt.
17:27It's a gift.
17:28But when you look at this, you have two older guys that have been around forever and a guy that,
17:33like Martha just said, has never had a job. And it's almost like the people in New York
17:37are throwing all the policies aside and saying, oh, well, that's different. I'll vote for that.
17:41Yeah. I mean, you look at these guys. Even Greg could be mayor. You go up there. One guy killed
17:46everyone's grandparents. The other guy's never had a job. And the other guy lives with cats.
17:49I'd go in and I'd say, you said I'd never been to a mosque. You've never been to a gym.
17:55You couldn't even bench a hundred pounds. You said you bought pot at a pot shop.
18:00Were you high when you came up with these policies? Are you high now? That's how you
18:03got to throw him off his game because he's all smiles. He's all super relaxed.
18:07I mean, this guy hates Columbus. This guy hates cops. I'd look him square in the eye and say,
18:15you want to lead the financial capital of the world? You can't even do math. I'd actually
18:19ask him a math equation. I'd say, what's 17 divided by he couldn't do it. And I just watched
18:24the clock tick and sweat. Then I'd say, who's your favorite player on the Knicks?
18:31Name one player on the Knicks. Just name one player. And then I'd say, who's your favorite
18:35pitcher on the Yankees? Ever. You can name any pitcher on the Yankees. Name one. And then I'd say,
18:40could you imagine this guy throwing out the first pitch at a Yankee game? He's got no arm. He's got
18:45no brain. He's got no taste. Where's your favorite slice, buddy? Name your favorite slice in New York
18:51City. He couldn't do it. I would say, this guy is going to destroy New York City and I won't let
18:58him. If I learned anything from that, it's that I'm not qualified to be mayor of New York City.
19:03I didn't have an answer for you for hardly any of those. Jessica, I don't know. I look at this and
19:09I see a guy who is polished enough. He's got enough people behind him telling him what to say,
19:13when to say it. I guess maybe the silver lining there, because I don't know that he's your guy either.
19:18I guess a silver lining there. And I think this about AOC, but she's kind of proving me wrong as
19:22she gets older is when they come in really young, they're still impressionable and they can still be
19:26pulled in a direction. I know some of the finance guys are starting to back him or at least not be
19:30against him. And is it because maybe they can turn him into the puppet they need?
19:35I think that they want to have a relationship with the mayor of New York. And it's clear that the
19:39numbers have borne that out at this point. Eric Adams got out too late and Curtis Lee was going to get,
19:44you know, 13 to 15 percent of the vote. And so he's not getting out. He said he turned down 10
19:49million dollars to stay in that race. And I thought that last night and really this entire election
19:57has been about authenticity more than policy. I don't know if everyone thinks there's going to be free
20:03buses or that the rent's going to get frozen. But I think a lot of this was summed up in what I thought
20:08was Mondani's best line of the evening said to Cuomo, what I don't have an experience,
20:12I make up for an integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks an integrity, he could never make up for
20:17with experience. And Republicans and Democrats both agree with that about Andrew Cuomo. It seemed
20:24like Curtis Lee, frankly, hated Cuomo more than Mondani or anyone else in this. And I just, Curtis Lee
20:32is a great New York character. And that came through. I was telling you guys before the show
20:38started that I had friends that hadn't really paid attention to him or seen interviews. And they said,
20:42well, that guy got like shot in the back of a cab in 1992. And also, where was your beret? Your beret
20:48is your signature. So he should have had that. But, you know, when you have Sliwa, who is this great
20:53New York character going that hard after Cuomo as well, I think that people start to just say,
20:58this is what is going to happen. And we should figure out a way to work together.
21:03You know, Greg, anybody named Jay Jones, that's a red flag automatically. Like, I don't trust that
21:08guy at all. And then you add on top of that, these text messages. And you can go either way
21:12with this. You go New York mayor or the Virginia. Let me stop you right there, Joey. I want to talk
21:16about New York. I thought so. Yeah. And by the way, the reason why I want to bring up New York
21:20is because I do think that the Jay Jones thing is more of a side story. This has a bigger
21:26meaning towards all of America. It's why America. Why should America think about this?
21:31You have to remember that Zoran is a rich elite just because he's young and you haven't heard of
21:38him doesn't make him just some kind of radical from the street. He is a rich elite, a Nepo baby.
21:45And you got to ask yourself, why are our elites more radical and extreme than the poor in other
21:52countries? Our rich are more extreme than the poor in other countries. That's kind of freaky.
21:59You know, Trump, again, got different factions to agree to a peace deal. But here you have rich people
22:04who want revolution, who say capitalism is evil. The radicals on our campus are every bit as scary
22:12and rabid as the radical pro-Hamas supporters in Gaza. Hell, like you said, Zoran wouldn't even
22:20say he had an opinion on disarming Hamas. He's in America. I'm sure that people have that opinion
22:26in Gaza. Our radicals preach compassion, but the distance from their consequences desensitizes them
22:35from actual suffering. That's why you have this. Their so-called targets, whether it's Jews,
22:41Trumpers, white folk, they become abstract enemies. It's very important. It's very easy to identify,
22:48to demonize them, while it's also easy for them to romanticize real threats from far away,
22:55whether it is, you know, Islamists of any stripe. Lastly, there was a question in there that people
23:02said that Mondami screwed up on. He was asked how much, how he would pay for the 10 billion dollars
23:07in freebies. It doesn't matter because the people voting for him won't be paying for it. The people not
23:14voting for him will be paying for it. That is the terrible lesson for America.
23:20The left can see how to win by telling all the people who won't pay taxes that if they vote for
23:28him, he'll get the suckers, us, to pay the taxes, to get all that free stuff that he's promising.
23:35It's like telling kids there's going to be free ice cream at recess. Obviously, somebody else is paying
23:41for it. But the point is, it's not them. So we're just sitting there and we're actually watching
23:46ourselves being robbed politically. This guy is up there saying like, hey, everybody,
23:52see these guys over here? I'm taking their money and I'm giving it to you. You vote for me. And you're
23:58saying some finance guys. The only reason why the finance guys do this is because they're greedy
24:01little pigs. They just want to make sure they find a way to save their money.
24:06All right. Well, maybe Don will talk him into letting us all have guns and I'll get an illegal
24:12to go vote for me. All right. Ahead, another democratic coup is in the works. The knives are
24:17out for John Fetterman.
24:37Democrats have coup fever again. Axios reports that Democrats are plotting a Fetterman ouster.
24:42Quote, top Democrats in Pennsylvania are maneuvering to run against Senator John Fetterman in a 2028
24:48primary contest threatening to tear the party apart in the biggest battleground state in the nation.
24:55Because, of course, the Dems want to shiv the only sane guy in their party.
25:01How do Democrats win back white men like yourself? I don't know. And truthfully, I'm not sure.
25:06I'm not sure if that's possible, to be honest. You can't defend when people are damaging buildings.
25:11That is not peaceful protests. Just because sometimes it's a decision that President Trump
25:18did. It's like maybe like reflexively, you have to be opposed to that. Don't ever,
25:22ever compare anyone to Hitler. We can't compare people to these kinds of figures in history.
25:28And so, Jessica, this guy won a state that Trump has won twice, maybe three times. And he's very popular,
25:37it seems like. Why would you want to get rid of him? Well, I I don't I'm not necessarily doing a
25:44primary challenge, but you marketed it as a coup. And last time I checked, a primary is not a coup.
25:52It's letting people see a contest of ideas and pick who they want. And Conor Lamb, who's one of the names
25:58being floated originally in the primary with Fetterman. And it's interesting because people
26:02thought he would be too conservative. And now they have this buyer's remorse problem with Fetterman
26:09himself. I there are a lot of people who have gone on the record, who have worked for him. You know,
26:15there was that big piece about his mental health struggles and erratic behavior. He has a lot of
26:20turnover in his office. His press secretary, for instance, just left yesterday or the day before.
26:25It's obviously a complicated situation in there. But I will remind people, as I did regularly when
26:30Joe Manchin was still in office, that what somebody says on TV matters less than how they vote. And John
26:38Fetterman barely votes with Republicans and with Trump is six percent of the time. And it is hard to
26:45win a Democratic seat in a state that Trump won this time. You know, Josh Shapiro, obviously very
26:50successful Democratic governor with a 60 percent plus approval rating. But you need to be conscious
26:55of the things that really do matter. And I look at votes most of the time when it comes to that.
27:00You know, Martha, after the election, Democrats said they need to reconnect with the working class
27:04and they need to lean into authenticity. Isn't that Fetterman?
27:08Fetterman? Yeah, absolutely. It's Fetterman. He's not up until 2028. And, you know, McCormick just won
27:15that seat in Pennsylvania that proves that it's a very purpley state. You know, that was that was a big win.
27:23So I think by the time they get around to the presidential election, they're probably not going to want
27:28to rock the boat necessarily. I think this is just sort of a fashionable idea to go against the one person
27:36who doesn't hate President Trump on the Democratic Senate side.
27:40Is it because, Greg, he wears a hoodie and they're just jealous? That's why you hated him, by the way.
27:46It's because he's white. It's because he's white. Yeah. You know, there's no Democrat
27:52that has any credibility calling him unstable when you've seen what they put out in the last couple
27:58of years. I mean, they got a dude that looks like a lady or is a lady anyway. And I'll get to that.
28:05The biggest tool for the Democrats has been identity politics and they've used it for everything,
28:10but they can't use it on men. And he knows that because the very tool is is like it exploits the
28:18default mode of female compassion. Our job is to provide and protect. It doesn't work on us. We're
28:23not going to put strangers before our family. You know, if we feel like we're going to cross the street
28:28because those guys look dangerous. We don't care if you call us racist. We're going to bring our kid and
28:33go across the street. Identity politics would then say that you're racist. He's he doesn't
28:37traffic in that stuff. And it kind of threatens the I think the a lot of Democrat leaders who
28:43still believe that these activists have power. They don't. I mean, he's popular among Democrats,
28:49Republicans and independents because he rejects the divisive oppression, race identity politics.
28:56You know, but he's the only one. And you only need one. I said it yesterday that like, you know,
29:02you just need one person to speak up to the mob and then everybody comes in and they share the risk.
29:07This is what happened with trans. Everybody was terrified of speaking up about trans. But then
29:12when some did all of a sudden everybody did. And then those activists, they just kind of scrambled
29:17away. And I think that's what's going to happen here. It's funny. You look at like I go back to
29:22like looking at the no kings thing and you see the bulk of protesters are mostly older white women.
29:30You know, they're they're mostly alone. They they're without families. They they thought globally
29:35and ignored locally. And what he's saying is that's not how men think.
29:39Joe, did you say it doesn't matter what you say? It's how you vote. I don't want to misquote you.
29:45You're talking about getting legislation passed and like brass tacks, right? I agree with you,
29:50but but I think it does matter what you say. And that's the whole point of this.
29:53You could vote the way Chris Murphy or or Adam Schiff votes and still be a decent human being,
29:59but they choose not to. That's the problem. Just think if most Democrats and for that part,
30:05some Republicans voted the way they always vote and didn't say the crazy things they say,
30:10the divisive things they say, the hateful and unnecessary things they say. You can challenge
30:14John Fetterman on any of his votes and what he says about it isn't going to be how horrible Trump
30:20is. He's going to give you whatever his argument is on supporting that issue. What if we lived in
30:25that world? And it's a dangerous game. The Republicans lost this game because one of the bad effects
30:30from the Tea Party was all the blue dog Democrats got beat to the right. And then that seat got back
30:35filled to the left and you lost the people that you could play ball with. I mean, I would argue
30:40that that that it's the best part of Congress are those that aren't so adherent to one line list of
30:48talking points that you can have a conversation with them. And there aren't many of them left.
30:52And John Fetterman has at least turned into one of them. I could go hang out and watch a football
30:56game with John Fetterman and not be repulsed by thinking about the last five things he said on
31:01TV. There aren't many politicians in general I don't feel that way about. And I think that is
31:05something that's important. And Democrats probably will get rid of it because they got rid of Manchin.
31:10They got rid of Sinema because they they voted against them on a couple of things
31:14like a budget bill or something like this. And and it's going to be bad for the rest of us,
31:19for all of us. It's interesting that the guy who wears the hoodie and the shorts is the gentleman
31:24of the Senate. Or the guy who had a stroke. Yeah. And his recovery is remarkable. And his
31:29recovery, when he recovered, Democrats suddenly didn't like what he was saying. And Greg and Jesse
31:35suddenly did. Yeah, no, but I've admitted it. Yeah, I admitted I was wrong. For the first time,
31:40I was wrong about something. But he wouldn't be able to do the job. And he comes on Fox.
31:44That's pretty good for a Democrat. Ahead, JB gobbles up all the chips in Vegas. The fastest is up next.
31:54Yeah. Welcome back. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker revealing via his tax filings that he's won
32:13$1.4 million after playing blackjack at a casino in Las Vegas last year. Watch.
32:18I went on vacation with my wife, with some friends. I was incredibly lucky. You have to be to to end up
32:27ahead, frankly, going to a casino anywhere. It was in Las Vegas. And I like to play cards, had fun doing it.
32:39Jesse, try to be objective here. Doesn't this just
32:42What are you talking about? I love this. Yeah. I'm not going to hit him on this. I was worried.
32:46You can tell how happy he is because he's smiling the whole time. He's worth a billion dollars.
32:51Four. And and last time he funded his campaign was $170 million check he cut. So to win $1.4
32:58is peanuts. You go to a high limit table and you bet a hundred grand a hand. You double down a few
33:05times. You walk away in 10 minutes with one for cash it out. I'm just shocked he reported it.
33:10It is very not Trumpian to report it. Martha, what do you think of JB and the cards?
33:17I think it's fine. You know, I mean, I asked me how many times I've played roulette.
33:22How many times, Martha? Once. Ask me how much money I won. How much money, Martha?
33:26$600. Yeah, Martha, we're going to the casino. So I'm never playing again.
33:32Greg, what have you got? What have I got? Yeah. Well, he puts the roll in high rollers.
33:37And it is peanuts for an elephant. It's very simple. The guy loves to gamble because
33:42he loves the buffet. One addiction feeds another, so to speak. But he doesn't just bet on things.
33:48People place bets on him. I heard that the moment he sits down for a meeting,
33:52his staffers place bets on whether the chair collapses. Where did you hear that, Greg?
33:57From the same guy who told me that they bet on how many sliders they could fit in his mouth.
34:01He's got a lot of this. Well, it was epic. Time to run for president. Yes.
34:07Joey. You know, they're like saying that he's going to give the money to charity. Like they're
34:11shaming him into giving it away. It's like, that's probably the most honest money that man's ever
34:15earned a day. Why would he give that away? You take another look at that $4 billion maybe,
34:20but leave the man alone. He gambled, he won, and that's how it works.
34:22I love it. Famo Friday's up next. We're going to do three questions.
34:41First question. What would be the most annoying thing about having you as a roommate, Jesse?
34:49Jesse. Does it surprise you that I can't think of anything that would annoy other people about me?
34:54I'm going to text you. Um, I am wonderful. You know what it is? It's your humility is what
35:06drives people crazy. It's right. It's right. It makes them feel insecure. Yes. Yes. Yes. What
35:10about you, Jessica? Everything's on a high shelf. Yeah. I mean, actually a little bit. We're a very
35:17large couple. Yeah. I get up to pee so many times overnight. I have like the bladder of a 70 year
35:25old man. The bladder of Greg. I didn't want to do that. He just left on the commercial break.
35:29He does go pee between the D&E or the C&E. Yeah. That way I don't have to pee on the way home.
35:34In the car? That's what I do. I'm planning ahead.
35:36You can also just do it after the show. No, but then that- He has to get out right away.
35:39I want to get out right away. Yeah, we want you to get out too. All right, Joey. Yeah,
35:43I've been accused of leaving too many of my things in too many places, not putting stuff up.
35:49That's probably the worst thing. I'd say the worst thing is that once I take my legs off,
35:53I'm going to be like, hey, will you hand me that? Will you turn that light off?
35:55You know, like it's a lot of little beck and call stuff. Do people yell at you like,
35:59why do you leave your legs here? Clean up. No, I just get a lot of looks. Yeah,
36:04you get a lot of looks. Like really? You can't just go do it yourself. It's just your wife,
36:07right? That's giving you these looks. Pretty much everybody in the house gets asked,
36:10hey, we do that. We do that. We do this. I mean, once I take my legs off, it's off.
36:15What about you, Martha? No, I don't get any complaints. You don't get any complaints. Well,
36:20what if by some chance you end up having to live with somebody? I don't like it when other people
36:24don't, you know, pick up their stuff. No, I, you know, I have little idiosyncrasies. Like I
36:31have to go out one door or back in. I have weird little like that kind of thing. You can take
36:36medication for that. I know. I'm a little bit OCD about certain things. I have
36:40night, I have, uh, every now and then I will have a night terror. No, really? Yes. And when
36:45you're like, when you have people staying over at your house and they hear this, like,
36:51they're like, someone go save. And it's, it's me. I was going to say the gas was probably the thing.
37:00And everybody off about you. That too. And I sleepwalk in the nude. There are other things
37:06we're getting to, but that's later. One more thing is up next.
37:22Time for one more thing.
37:23Oh, tonight we have a great one. Cat temp, Michael Malice, David Angelo, Andrew Gruul.
37:28That's tonight at 10 p.m. Let's do this. Greg's sexy elephant news with Bruce Hume.
37:36Shall we go to an elephant in a fountain? Look at that. Delightful. Elephants at the Werribee
37:43Open Range Zoo in Australia. The elephants took a dip off the cooler temperatures and broke 90 degrees.
37:50Elephants love to splash and play together as a form of social bonding. My good friend,
37:56Juan Williams, often liked to look at the elephants. When Molly Hemingway was on the show,
38:01she often said, where can I see an elephant? Those were the days. Back to you.
38:06Joey's looking at you. He's not even cracking a smile. Jesse.
38:11All right. Do you guys want to see the biggest pumpkin in America? Your face.
38:17Look at that thing. $20,000. It weighs 2,300 pounds. $20,000?
38:24Wow. They call it the Pritzker. Yeah. He's going to pay $20,000 for a pumpkin.
38:28The Pritzker. That's a high roller. Put the pump in pumpkin.
38:34Tonight, Jesse, where is prime time? We have Vivek, Catalina, Cat, and Mike Waltz. 8 p.m.
38:39Okay. Joey. All right. Sorry. Still thinking about that pumpkin.
38:44Yeah. Okay. So there might be some pictures pop up here today. We had a service for my good friend,
38:49Marcus Burleson, a Marine Corps veteran with EOD Tech. He lost both his arms. As you can see,
38:54he had one robot hand. A lot of funny stories about it. I wrote something here. I'll say it real
38:58quick. Mark, like many of us, was not a perfect man, but he was truly a perfect friend. He was always
39:03there. Always had something positive to say when I needed to hear it. Something funny to say when I need to be
39:07distracted and still willing to call things as he saw them, even if it hurt my feelings.
39:11I love Mark. He's my brother. I'd say brother in arms, but that's just too funny and not exactly
39:15true. Our friendship outgrew the Marine Corps, EOD, Afghanistan, and even Purple Hearts.
39:20Our friendship, our brotherhood was about life, family, and getting through each day with similar
39:25values and constant struggles. I'll miss him here on earth, but if I make it to heaven,
39:30he'll be renewed and arms wide open, ready to welcome me. Very nice.
39:34Love you, brother. Yeah, that's beautiful. Jessica.
39:37At 80 years old, New Jersey's Natalie Grabo made history as the oldest woman ever to finish the
39:44Ironman World Championship. The grandmother of two powered through a hamstring injury and brutal
39:49humidity while swimming 2.4 miles, biking 112, and running 26.2 miles through Hawaii. She says,
39:56just keep moving. Why are you groaning about that? Did you pick that one?
40:00It was sentiment. I said, yeah. All right, that is it for us.
