00:00EEI programs have been dismantled and the party in power is debating how friendly to be with white
00:04nationalists. Maybe Pantone basically shouldn't have picked white, Molly. Oh, that is so New York
00:11Times to be upset at the color white for whatever reason is going on there. In fact, people of all
00:17races love the color white when they're wearing it in clothing and otherwise. And next year is
00:22going to be the 250th anniversary of our country. It's going to be red, white, and blue all year
00:27long. And so I think Pantone has a pretty good track record and it was a good
00:31choice. That was a, that lady missed her moment. That moment was 2020 New York
00:36Times. That headline is from 2021, not 2025. If you read, if you read that
00:42entire article, it is like a satirical play about 2020. Yeah. Okay. Molly, Mary
00:51Catherine, Joe, great to see you. Thanks for being with us here today. All right.
00:54Thank you guys. All right. We hope you'll remember to set your DVRs and never
00:57miss the Will Cain show where we get to the heart of the matter from the heart of
01:01America. Now it is time for the five.
01:13Hello, everyone. I'm Jillian Turner along with Emily Campagno,
01:17Peril Ford Jr., Jesse Waters, and Greg Gutfeld. It's five o'clock right here in New
01:21York City. And this is five. So the DC pipe bomb suspect appeared in court today, this nearly five
01:35years after he allegedly planted two pipe bombs near the DNC and RNC in Washington. Brian Cole Jr.
01:42has been formally indicted. He's facing one charge of transporting an explosive device with intent to
01:48kill another charge for attempted malicious destruction with an explosive. Say that three
01:55times fast. If convicted, he could be looking at up to 20 years now behind bars. Both the FBI and
02:02Justice Department say they cracked the case after a fresh sweeping review of the existing case. No new
02:08leads, no new evidence. Team Trump is blaming the Biden administration, accusing them of dropping the
02:13ball. Listen. It was clear that the Biden administration did not make this a priority.
02:19Within a couple of months of the finding of these pipe bombs, they pulled agents off this case. When
02:25President Trump came in, he made a decision that he was going to reinvigorate the investigation.
02:31This case languished. It sat there for four years collecting dust. No one did anything to solve this.
02:38The prior administration sat on the evidence for four years. There wasn't any production of new
02:43evidence from five years ago. I don't know what the hell this prior leadership team was doing
02:47outside of, you know, targeting political opponents, weaponizing the FBI, destroying its reputation,
02:53embarrassing agents. All right. There's also this. Not sure what to make of it. CNN anchor Jake
02:59Tapper is taking heat from his critics. He appeared to identify the pipe bomb suspect incorrectly as
03:04a white man on the air. He then subsequently aired this photo showing he's obviously not.
03:13Brian Cole Jr., a 30-year-old white man from the D.C. suburbs, is charged with transporting
03:18an explosive device. We do have new photographs, as you saw during that presentation from Brian,
03:26new photographs of the suspect. And we're showing those to you right now.
03:31So a couple of Democratic lawmakers are offering praise for these charges. Mostly,
03:37though, it is criticism of the Trump FBI. Listen.
03:41Terrific if they got the pipe bomber. Excellent investigative work. They should be proud of that.
03:47But why does it have anything to do with Joe Biden?
03:50Looking at this crowd doing a victory lap when all the senior FBI officials across all key divisions have
03:57been fired for political purposes. It's a little rich that they're saying America is safer. How much
04:03earlier could we have caught this guy if resources hadn't been diverted?
04:09So the reason, Jesse, I think why they're blaming the Biden administration is because there's
04:14this discrepancy going on. The FBI said they followed this doggedly for five years,
04:20but the evidence led nowhere. They couldn't get a handle on the information. But then the FBI now
04:26also admitting that they shuttered the case in less than two months. The whole thing was shut down by
04:33the end of February 2021. Yeah. But I got tappers back. I could not believe this guy was black
04:39either. I mean, it's it's always a white guy with the bomb. Goes to show you can't judge a book by its
04:47cover. There are 5000 FBI agents dedicated to investigating January 6th and they don't
04:56investigate the guy that planted the bombs. I mean, come on. Now, I don't know if there's more to meet the
05:01eye with this guy, but Congress has to haul in Chris Ray and make him testify under oath about a cover
05:07up because this has to have been a cover up. It was like pulling teeth at a ray to get the video.
05:13Remember, he would always like, I don't want to put all the video out there. And we had to subpoena the
05:17video. And then his other guy that was leading the case said, well, we we geofenced the phones
05:22and we got all the data, but the data was corrupt. Well, the data wasn't corrupt because Trump's FBI
05:30cracked the case. And then the other FBI guy under Biden said it was really hard to break this case
05:35because this guy was wearing a mask. He blamed covid. So the deep state's still spinning. They're out
05:43there saying, oh, well, you know, this guy said that the election was stolen. Really? So they're
05:50saying that the Biden FBI covered up for this guy. Really? It also doesn't make sense because the guy
05:56started building the bomb materials in twenty nineteen. That was long before the election was
06:01stolen. Quote unquote. I don't know anything about this case. I haven't been following this case, but
06:10I will tell you this. Is the guy a lefty? His dad played the race card when he sued the Trump
06:18administration. Is he a righty? Probably not, since he planted a bomb at the DNC and the RNC.
06:27Is he mental? I think he's mental. The grandmother said he was autistic. He can't make eye contact.
06:35He's got very short legs and he's living with his mom. He got short legs. What's with the short legs?
06:41You know exactly what I'm talking about. He's misproportioned, Greg. Oh, OK. So I think this is where it's
06:48going that this guy he's already confessed. How smart can you be? You've confessed and you bought all the
06:55bomb parts with a credit card. I'm being told that we have not. We meaning Fox News is not like
07:00confirmed this. The dad lawsuit aspect of this yet. Or I just need you to know, even though you're not
07:05following the case and you don't care. I'll wait till Fox confirms it. Thank you. OK, Harold.
07:11Still waiting. People are saying that the Trump FBI, excuse me, that the Biden FBI sat on this evidence,
07:18right? They essentially accused them of burying this investigation in this case. But why would
07:25the Biden administration do that when there was a bomb planted in front of the DNC, their own party's
07:30headquarters? That doesn't add up to me. It's going to be with you. I think your question,
07:34the way you framed it, suggests that I don't know a whole lot more than what's been reported.
07:40And according to some of the nobody knows anything, we're just doing this segment anyway.
07:44And, you know, we have I just I would caution people to be careful about conspiracies about
07:50this, that the deputy director of the FBI, who I consider a friend and a former colleague,
07:55one point said this was a total hoax. And then he's now he now knows the facts. And we now know
08:00that this was not a hoax, that this indeed was this young man who, when I say a hoax, that these
08:04things were planted, he thought that maybe someone planted them there. But he later corrected himself
08:10and said, this is something obviously something more serious. Two, I've seen reports saying he
08:15was a Trump supporter. I've seen the things that you also said, Jesse, that his father
08:18may have had a lawsuit against the administration. I don't know. But I understand a young man
08:23might have been he was he believed that the 2020 election, there was some some some something
08:29that happened that he didn't like. And I presume that means that he believed that President Trump
08:33won. I also don't get your question. It took the FBI years to capture Whitey Bulger.
08:38He kept looking. We don't blame. We don't blame the previous administration, the previous
08:45administration. Ted Kaczynski, it took years to find him, the Unabomber. So I applaud that the efforts
08:52of Mr. Patel, Mr. Bongino, our own Judge Jeanine for the great work that they did to capture this
08:59fella. And I can only urge all of us just to wait until we get more information. I like Jesse and
09:08Greg, the young lady that sits in your chair, Jillian Dana. I want to see more information
09:13about these two men who tried to kill President Trump. We still don't know about this crooks
09:17kid and this this this guy down in Florida who almost was able to take a shot at the president
09:24on his golf course. So I hope they get it all of these things. And we get some answers
09:28here before long. But I'm glad they got this guy. Congratulations to them. Greg, Judge Pirro said
09:34that this guy, the perp, is she described him as being low key, quiet, super into his headphones,
09:41his dog. He lives with his mom and his sisters. Has anyone ever seen you two in the same room?
09:50Nicely done. Nicely done, Jill. Look, you know what? I just want to go back to the Jake thing.
09:58You know, in his head, he was like going, I don't know any black people named Brian.
10:02That's what he thought. Like every Brian he knows is white. But remember, so why did Jake fall for
10:08this? This was supposed to be a white supremacy movement, you know? So Jake was primed when this
10:15were that for a white guy. It's kind of like, you know, when you drop hints for a gift that you want
10:20your spouse to get you and you keep doing it over and over again. So she thinks it's her idea.
10:25Well, we were primed for four years by Joe Biden that there was going to be this big white supremacy
10:30movement. There's a white supremacist under every bed you wish. And that's my way back. But anyway,
10:37I'm from New York City. Okay. Okay. Anyway, anyway, I joke. I joke. Just paying you back.
10:50You know, anyway, so I forgot my point, but I know it's important that Jake assumed something that
10:57he was trained to assume by years and years of this white supremacy narrative. Then you find out
11:04it's a black guy. And then it makes you think like, well, is that why they didn't chase this
11:09because it didn't fit a narrative? That sounds a little crazy, but it could be true. And you ask,
11:14well, why did they do anything? Well, that question could be applied to a lot of things.
11:19It's not just the pipe bomb. Think about the border. Think about crime, homelessness, and the COVID fraud
11:25in Minneapolis. That question, why did they do anything? It's not about incompetence.
11:31It can't just be about incompetence. It's that they don't solve problems if there's no political
11:36incentive. And this guy didn't help their white supremacy narrative. So they didn't look any
11:41further. It's kind of crazy. All that information was there. I mean, you compare the efforts in this
11:48case to what they did on the January 6th commission, they hired producers, directors,
11:53screenwriters for something. Go ahead, Jesse. Are you saying that the Biden people knew he was black,
11:58so they didn't arrest him? You're starting to sound like Jake Tapper here.
12:01Yes. The opposite way. Yes. I don't, I'm not trying to like be the fly in the ointment,
12:06but it could have just said that he was white in the prompter and he was reading it.
12:10Well, that's, you know, that's true. You're absolutely right.
12:13Obviously. But you know what? I, I'm going to go back to a bigger point. Think about all the stuff
12:18you never would have ever known if it wasn't for Trump winning. Like there's certain,
12:23like, would we ever have, like, we knew Biden was incapacitated, but Trump had to win for that
12:29to finally come out. We now know that the border could be solved in a weekend because it did. I
12:35mean, it was like, they were telling us this problem could never be solved. And then it was,
12:39we found out that we're finding out all this COVID scam stuff all around the country. It's crazy.
12:44We now know that trans is a scam. All this stuff would have just been buried.
12:50We might find out the election was stolen. That was, that was not in the prompter.
12:56No, I said stolen. All right. A election. That's how Crockett does it, right?
13:01Time's up. It's Emily's turn. All right, Emily, legal question. There is conflicting reporting about
13:06whether president Trump's January six pardons that he issued on day one of the second term could apply
13:12to this guy somehow. People are saying that like, if his, his defense team decides to argue
13:18that these pardons apply to him, he could potentially get off the hook because it's like,
13:23hey, you can't charge him for any of these crimes. He's already been exonerated, not exonerated,
13:28pardoned. Pardoned. What do you think? Well, if, if that's true, then this justice department will
13:32find a way to charge him with something else because they will not let this guy get away with
13:37it is the point. And that's the difference between this administration and the prior administration,
13:41because yes, pardons are absolute, but unlike Biden, that says for everything that will be ever
13:46done and isn't there, that was specific by president Trump. You are absolutely right,
13:51Greg, because remember Dylan Roof's photo was all day, every day on CNN and rightly so,
13:58because he's a horrible monster, even though it should have been the victims faces that were on
14:01CNN all day, every day. This one, not at all. You are right that it was a complete assumption that
14:06they ran with. And then to their horror, it's not that they were wrong, that they got a fact wrong.
14:11It's that their assumption was wrong, that it didn't fit neatly in their box. The entire time
14:18that Biden was in office, remember the top stated priority of the FBI, the Biden White House, which
14:24was the national security that the number one national security threat was domestic violence
14:29extremism. Remember that? Especially after January 6th, they even created the first ever national strategy
14:35for countering domestic terrorism. It became the centerpiece of Biden's DOJ messaging was all about
14:42their homegrown terrorism, the domestic terrorism that was occurring on their soil. And the January
14:496th investigation is the largest in FBI history, the most sweeping and complex FBI investigation ever
14:56undertaken, said right from the podium of the White House. And the officials praised the FBI for
15:02unprecedented investigative work, protecting democracy. And it was one of their most talked
15:06about achievements of the Biden DOJ. But what happened? As the attorney general said, this attorney
15:12general, all they did was spend four years collecting dust. And the FBI director, Kash Patel, there was
15:18zero production of new evidence. So the whole time the Biden administration was patting themselves on
15:24the back and telling us that they had it, that this was the number one threat and to trust them,
15:28they would be thorough and complete. And yet they missed the biggest, potentially simplest.
15:34Yes, Whitey Bulger took a while. Yes, certain people take a while, but this one shouldn't have.
15:38That's the point. It took a while because of incompetence or laziness or not fitting the narrative,
15:43not because of lack of resources. As we said, it was the biggest undertaking in FBI history.
15:49Also, Jesse, I feel like in your answer, we should have been holding hands for the first half
15:52and the second. Okay. How unfortunate would it be if he gets hardened because of what happened here?
15:59Coming up next, President Trump's breaking out a signature dance move. The village people are
16:03serenading him at the FIFA World Cup draw earlier today. We're going to show you the whole thing.
16:08Stick with us.
16:09Hey, hey, Jim.
16:09And you're asleep, Tennessee whiskey. You're asleep, everybody wants to. There's a room where the
16:28light won't find you. No, this is the one thing, no man doesn't hold myself. I said,
16:37yeah. The village people performing the iconic YMCA with President Trump doing his signature dance
16:45as he attended the FIFA World Cup draw at the Kennedy Center. 47 mixing it up with soccer stars,
16:51celebs, and world leaders for the big event. And after he renamed the Institute for Peace for himself,
16:58the president received the first FIFA Peace Prize. Trump then joined the presidents of Canada and
17:04Mexico for a draw. When you look at what has happened to football in the United States,
17:12again, soccer in the United States, we seem to never call it that because we have a little bit
17:16of a conflict with another thing that's called football. But when you think about it, shouldn't
17:21it really be called? I mean, this is football. There's no question about it. We have to come up
17:25with another name for the NFL show. It really doesn't make sense. You have to basically mingle
17:32the balls a little bit, mingle. And then, one by one, we start with Mr. Carney.
17:38This is shocking. United States of America.
17:54Harold, that's what we call a Sicilian election. What did you think of the Peace Prize? And what do
17:59you think that sends? What message does it send the symbolism to the world? Look, I cannot be more
18:04excited that we're hosting this. My kids are soccer players, football players. I hope we keep
18:09calling American football, American football, different with the president there. But this
18:13is where the president, one of the areas that he's at its best. He enjoys this kind of promotion of
18:19the country. He enjoys sports. He knows sports. I think he relates to people as a result of it.
18:26And I know there are two youngsters named Georgia and Heff Ford who were as excited as anybody to watch
18:33the rerun of this when they got home from school today. So congrats to the president and to the
18:37presidents of Mexico and Canada. And I can't wait. We get eight games here in New York, including
18:41the finals here in New York City. So we're excited about it. Yeah. Well, actually, in Jersey.
18:46We call it New York City. It's an extension of New York City.
18:49Meadowlands. Jesse, do you feel like- MetLife. MetLife.
18:52To Harold's point, this is a big deal. FIFA and soccer, that's a massive global industry. So the fact
19:00that they gave Trump the Peace Prize, I think to me, it symbolizes a great deal and that kids are
19:05going, coming home and excited about it. Like that really does inspire generations to come,
19:09potentially. That sport is the great unifier. I'm not a big soccer guy. I'll watch it.
19:15It's exciting when it's the World Cup. It'll be really exciting when Trump's there in a suite
19:19with prime ministers and Jordan and Elon. But I mean, it's not, it's more of a game than a sport.
19:28I mean, you can't use your hands. I mean, come on, you know, you know, Harold. You don't have
19:32to pretend it's fine. It's a big day. And you know what? He had a great pick. We now, the United
19:38States are in a bracket with Paraguay and Australia and whatever team wins the play in. We've both
19:45beaten these teams twice in the last two months. I'm not going to jinx this World Cup, but I have a
19:52feeling we're going to win. Red wave kind of. Did I just jinx it? I just jinxed it. I'm sorry.
20:00But it is, you know, it's like you get the UFC at the White House, you get the Olympics in Los
20:05Angeles, and now you get the World Cup. It's almost like God gave us COVID to kick Trump out so he could
20:12reemerge again and oversee this wonderful four years of birthday parties, international sporting
20:19events, and octagon. It's, if you doubted there was a God, this is evidence there is God.
20:30Okay. Jillian.
20:33Non-believer.
20:34No.
20:34Non-believer.
20:35Not true.
20:36Non-believer.
20:38No. I strenuously object. Jillian. But yes, it is amazing. We have these really exciting things
20:43coming on the horizon. You can even risk one of that. I feel like, I'm not trying to be a downer,
20:49but the president- Never you.
20:51Still, I would never. The president still wants the Nobel Peace Prize, and he still has three
20:57more years to get it. So I don't know that the president of FIFA, Johnny Infantino, making up this
21:03new prize so he could give it to him because he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize this year is helping
21:09the cause. That's all I'm going to say. Doesn't that sound like a neighborhood wise guy, like
21:12Johnny Infantino? Johnny gave me the prize, so I don't need another one.
21:16So, I mean, a little background. In Europe, they call it football. In the United States,
21:22they call it soccer. Everywhere else, they call it homosexuality, which we know is a sin
21:28against God. It is a sin against God. Anyway, I just don't want to keep saying FIFA. It's a silly
21:38word. I don't know what it stands for. I love that Trump named the Institute of Peace after himself.
21:44It's a win-win situation. You wish you had thought of it first.
21:47I wish I have. Stop interrupting me. I'm kidding. But it's great because the Dems were so ticked off
21:55that he was cutting funding. Now, do they fight to keep it open if it's named after him? See,
22:01it's what we call win-win. And I also love that the Peace Prize from FIFA, it didn't go to like
22:07Greta Thunberg or some silly little peace activist. Because it was created for the president.
22:13That's what Johnny Infantino said. What's your beef with this? I'm saying there were no other
22:17candidates. So? What's your point? Do you wish that it went to Amnesty International or to Greenpeace?
22:24Yes. I don't understand why FIFA needs a peace award. Well, I'll tell you why.
22:28Because they're kissing his butt. He's hosting the game. Right.
22:33By the way, let me ask you this. Who deserves a peace prize?
22:37No. I'm not getting into this with you.
22:39No, you started it with me. You're having like three conversations here.
22:43You started it with me. Look, he is going around the world basically brokering peace.
22:49Why shouldn't he get a peace prize? Not that I really care.
22:52I didn't say he didn't deserve it. I said it's not.
22:54Yes, you did. Why do you hate President Trump?
22:56To get the Nobel Peace Prize. That was my point.
22:59God bless America.
23:00That was my free expert advice.
23:03It's sort of like Johnny Infantino.
23:05For Johnny Infantino.
23:05Shoes of peace. And it's like the cleats of peace. That's what I was thinking.
23:07All right, fine. Don't go anywhere, guys.
23:09Stephen A. Smith throwing down with Whoopi Goldberg.
23:13Don't hold this up.
23:14Hold it up.
23:15Everybody's free.
23:25I need to get a job.
23:28Well, I finally did.
23:30And the boss of his life.
23:32He's on my...
23:32Stephen A. Smith opening a can of Whoopi You Know What on Whoopi Goldberg,
23:37arguing Democrats should focus on affordability and ditch the cultural crap.
23:41It was important, I think, for Democrats to show that they stood with the LGBTQ community,
23:49that they stood with black women and women in general,
23:52because once you let us go, once you let women and poor people go,
23:58what do you have?
24:00I understand the LGBTQ community is important.
24:03I understand that the desolate and disenfranchise is somebody we should always be looking out for.
24:07I understand the economy. I understand immigration. I get all of that.
24:09But the point is, I'm trying to win to make sure that I'm in office and you're not.
24:16What is it going to take? The Democrats did not do that last time.
24:18And that's what happens.
24:20What is the winning issue now?
24:21Affordability and safety.
24:23Yes.
24:23Period.
24:25All right, Jillian, let's go to you now, because you didn't really talk that much the last segment.
24:28Is Stephen A. right?
24:32I don't think that it's smart for the Democrats to go after Trump with a slogan that they filched from his campaign.
24:39M-A-A, make America affordable.
24:42M-A-A, make America affordable again.
24:46I do think it's smart for them to go after him on the economy right now at this moment in time.
24:50It's a weakness for him.
24:52He won election in large part based on the economy.
24:55But the polls show, you know, the Fox News polls that came out a couple of weeks ago showed that I think it was more than 75 percent of Americans are not happy with how he's handling the economy.
25:06So, like, he's right.
25:07You should go after that.
25:08They did not win on the cultural issues that Democrats have traditionally had success with.
25:14And, by the way, Whoopi Goldberg is saying what happens when women and poor people leave the Democratic Party, but they already left in the last election cycle.
25:25That was in large part why President Trump won.
25:28So I'm not sure what she's talking about.
25:30Greg.
25:31Well, thank you for asking me.
25:32No question.
25:34OK.
25:35We're tight on top.
25:35This is this debate is dishonest.
25:39OK.
25:39When they're talking culture, they aren't talking about LGB.
25:45They're not talking about black women.
25:47They're talking about the team.
25:50And so what happens is this whole culture thing is about being compelled to give preferential treatment to predatory males in female spaces.
26:00What happens is Whoopi pulls a bait and switch and says it's about the LGBT and black women.
26:07That's not where the fight is.
26:08I mean, she should know better, given the fact that was her name, Tish Hyman, an actual black woman.
26:14She should have been like, Whoopi should have been with Tish Hyman after she was harassed by that predatory male in the locker room at Planet Fitness or wherever it was.
26:24Instead, she's like she's doing this group thing, this identity soup.
26:28She say, but the cultural the cultural conflict has nothing to do with gays, has nothing to do with lesbians, has nothing to do with black women.
26:36It has to do with allowing men to exploit and victimize women and kids under the auspices of being a victim themselves.
26:45This could have been a watershed moment.
26:47Smith could have said, I'm talking about trans.
26:50She could have said, well, I don't know what to say, you know, but it's like she has.
26:55She should have been.
26:55She should have.
26:56The view should have Tish Hyman on.
26:58Hyman.
26:59Yes.
26:59Got it.
27:00I will say something nice, Emily, about the view.
27:03You don't have to.
27:04I want to.
27:05I want to.
27:06They have great Christmas decor.
27:08Yeah, that's overwhelming.
27:09That is that they Christmas loves the view.
27:13I feel like I feel like they outdid us with their decorations.
27:16Look at that.
27:17You know why, though?
27:18We have a caribou in here.
27:19We have a whole.
27:19Where's the caribou?
27:20But I think most of that's like a nexio.
27:23It's not real.
27:24Oh, that's fake?
27:25I think so.
27:26It's not the only thing fake on the view.
27:26I have to look at it more go with a reindeer.
27:28It's the only place where Santa feels skinny.
27:30We have more real Christmas trees than anybody.
27:32I think you talked over Greg again when he was funny.
27:36Greg, say it again.
27:37No, no, no.
27:37You only get one view.
27:38Oh, it was so good.
27:40Emily.
27:41All right.
27:43I feel like he pushed into the spotlight the contradiction that the Democrat Party has among many,
27:49which is that they have this base that wants everything about cultural validation,
27:54but by the same mouth.
27:56And when they go to the ballot box, then they are all about only affordability.
28:01The fallacy among many was when Whoopi Goldberg talked about how this administration or in the
28:06election, you know, we ignored black people and people of color and the poor.
28:10But Donald Trump's policies, the whole point is it lifts everyone.
28:14So when then Sonny said, well, what's the number one issue?
28:16He said affordability and safety.
28:18The whole point is that doesn't matter what your skin color is.
28:21That doesn't actually matter anything.
28:23So these guys are still arguing about only these immutable characteristics when they're
28:28failing to see the larger picture, which is under the current administration.
28:31Yes, the widows and the orphans and everyone will be absolutely taken care of, too, because
28:36when you make everything more affordable and lower costs and lower regulations, everyone
28:41wins, not just the trans who should for edging out the women have something have a different
28:46consequence for them.
28:47And I really loved his sports analogy where he was like, the whole point is you can love
28:51the team and love the fan base.
28:53But if you don't win, it doesn't mean anything.
28:56But they're putting the cart before the horse.
28:58Look, he's right.
28:59And I think that one of the things he being Stephen A.
29:02Smith is right.
29:02But both of them can be right.
29:04You have to win to be able to do these things.
29:05And that's what Stephen A. is saying.
29:07Emily, this last election, four weeks ago, Democrats focused on the issues that were
29:12most prevalent and most prominent on people's minds, that being the cost of things.
29:16And that's why Democrats won all across the country and up and down the ballot.
29:19The number one issue for the American workers, what's going to happen over the next 12 to
29:2436 months with the advent of AI?
29:25It's certainly going to produce efficiencies, but it's going to dislocate workers.
29:29Where's our plan on that?
29:30Why aren't we talking about easing permitting rules, easing regulations to build houses?
29:35That's the number one problem facing young people in the country.
29:38They think about their future.
29:39We've talked about crime.
29:40President Trump has signed executive orders.
29:42We've talked around this table.
29:43And my friend Greg Gutfeld has agreed.
29:45We need a federal crime bill.
29:47Why not do that?
29:48Democrats talk about lifting tariffs on every food item to help lower grocery costs instead
29:52of some of the things that we focus on.
29:54Were you right, Emily?
29:55If we focus on the cultural issues again, if we don't take the lesson from four weeks ago
29:59and focus on everyday cost economic issues, we'll find ourselves losing like we did
30:04in 2024.
30:05If we focus on what voters want and what voters are anxious to hear us give answers to, we've
30:11got a fighting chance to win.
30:12So I agree with Stephen A.
30:13But we did in the ninth cabinet meeting that was just held that was televised.
30:17They talked about that.
30:18You mean President Trump?
30:19Yes.
30:20That's right.
30:20I take back we.
30:21I wasn't there.
30:22I was there in spirit.
30:23But the cabinet members talked about specifically that they were the ones they said combating what
30:27the prior administration had done to them, what we inherited, that it's going to take
30:31a while to like build up.
30:32This is cutting into fan mail.
30:33If I'm ever elected president, I will not blame George Washington for anything.
30:37You can't keep blaming everybody for it.
30:39You've got to tackle the issue.
30:40We're almost a year in.
30:42Don't go on George Washington, but don't forget, The View doesn't have an all-American
30:47Christmas tree.
30:48That's right.
30:49There it is.
30:50The fastest is up next.
31:10Welcome back.
31:11Is brain rot real?
31:13Studies are finding associations between heavy consumption of short-form video.
31:16Listen, have for it.
31:17And challenges with focus and self-control.
31:22Greg, you find that this is something, your deep, deep study about culture and society
31:27daily that this is coming up?
31:29Epstein?
31:30Is it Hugh?
31:31This is my Jeffrey Epstein impression.
31:34You know, it's not brain rot.
31:36It's the evolution of information.
31:38It's evolving.
31:39And we're just developing interfaces for information.
31:42We look at this backwards, that it's actually like, oh, these interfaces, computers, and
31:48phones, that is manipulating the information.
31:51No, it's the opposite.
31:52The information is going, ooh, let's make humans create other things for us so they can
31:57come out and mess with our heads.
31:59And we love it.
32:00I have no idea what you just said.
32:02That's all right, Jillian.
32:04I don't understand what that means.
32:06Jillian, you have a different take, perhaps?
32:08I think brain rot is real.
32:10I mean, haven't you ever been scrolling and watching videos on social media or YouTube or
32:15wherever, and it's like, you literally start to feel sick and you have to put it away?
32:19Were you scrolling Water's World?
32:21You have to, like, obviously.
32:25It's called Jesse Water's Prime Time.
32:26You, like, start feeling, like, suddenly you feel, like, irritable and you're, like,
32:30going faster and you're, like, I need to get off of this now.
32:34And you put it aside.
32:35That's brain rot, right?
32:36Or are we talking about something else?
32:38You should immediately pull over.
32:41Your name was invoked, Mr. Waters.
32:42Your thoughts on this?
32:43I hate to say it, but I do agree with Jillian.
32:45I don't know what the hell Greg's talking about.
32:48My children, like, if you watch a story, like a movie, okay, or even a show, they will
32:54be pleasant and they'll sit there and they'll be entertained.
32:56But if you put this kid with one of those YouTube shorts things, fries their brain and
33:02they become monsters.
33:03I mean, we have evidence that this is true.
33:05I don't know what kind of porn that you watch, Jillian, but, you know, you need to get help.
33:12Emily, on that segue, what are your thoughts about this topic?
33:16Yeah, I totally believe in brain rot.
33:18Remember when you've seen, like, commercials or MRI images of people who, you know, abuse
33:23drugs and you can see that their brain literally has as mush in part.
33:27We know that decision making and routines create, reveal it's and, you know, neural pathways in
33:32our brains.
33:33That's how you can overcome and create new habits and new good decision making, right?
33:37You do that for 30 days.
33:38So, absolutely.
33:39That's why sugar has a big input.
33:40Like, all of these things have a real physiological impact on our brains and that's also why when
33:46people give these things to their children during their developmental stage, including
33:50it up to puberty, it's frightening to me.
33:54Like, yes, brain rot is real, very real.
33:57And we are seeing it present in kids and adults and entire generations.
34:02It has long-term implications of withdrawal and isolationism.
34:04Yes.
34:05We made light of this.
34:05We should not have.
34:06I understood exactly what you were saying.
34:07Greg has it.
34:08Greg, you were actually making serious of it.
34:11This is a serious issue.
34:12And I hope that parents, my wife certainly, polices it in my house.
34:15Fan mail Friday.
34:15Nice.
34:16Ha ha.
34:17I hear you call him Santa Claus.
34:19I hear you call him Santa Claus.
34:20I hear you call him Santa Claus.
34:20I'm right down Santa Claus lane.
34:22I hear you call Santa Claus.
34:23He doesn't care if you're rich or poor boy.
34:26Love you.
34:27He's just the same.
34:29I'm looking and looking for something I ain't had before.
34:35I'm looking and looking for something I ain't had before.
34:36All right.
34:37First question for fan mail.
34:39Are you a good secret keeper, Harold?
34:45Yes.
34:45You are?
34:46Yes.
34:46Oh, okay.
34:47That's it then.
34:48Yes.
34:48Don't want to share anything with us?
34:49Jillian?
34:50Only for people that I like.
34:52Really?
34:53Oh.
34:54That's interesting.
34:55Greg, tell her nothing.
34:56Yes.
34:57What about you, Emily?
34:58Greg, tell her nothing.
34:59Yes, unless it's my own secret in the gift department.
35:03So if you tell me something, I will tell no one.
35:04I'm a vault.
35:05But if I have a secret about you, like a gift I got you, I cannot keep.
35:08I can't keep it to myself.
35:10Jesse?
35:11I'm a great secret keeper.
35:13I've never told anybody you're gay.
35:15Oh.
35:18I am a terrible secret keeper.
35:21Yeah.
35:21I feel the urge.
35:23Like, don't tell me anything.
35:24Because I will never again.
35:26I can feel, I can actually feel it coming out.
35:30Do you know what?
35:30Come on.
35:30Whenever you have gossip, you actually feel it crawling out of your mouth.
35:34That's the last time I share anything with you.
35:36That's a demon.
35:36Everybody already knows that about you.
35:38All right.
35:38What's the weirdest thing that ever happened to you on one of your flights, Emily?
35:43Don't come to me first on this.
35:44I have to think about this.
35:45All right.
35:45Weird.
35:45Let me think about this for a second.
35:47Okay.
35:48How about you, Jillian?
35:48Do you take the plane often?
35:50It's a thing in the sky?
35:51The weirdest thing on a flight.
35:53Weird.
35:53A long, I don't know if this is weird, but like a long time ago, like when I was in my
35:5920s, I was sitting next to a guy and his mom on a domestic flight, and the mom told him
36:07that he should ask me out in front of me.
36:09Wow.
36:10And then he did.
36:11Oh.
36:11That's weird, right?
36:12Well, it was weird because the kid was six.
36:15Oh, my God.
36:16What did you say?
36:19They're married now.
36:21Or no.
36:22No, no.
36:23That's Dana.
36:24That's Dana.
36:24That's not me.
36:25Dana met her husband on an airplane.
36:27I had never heard that story.
36:29Jesse?
36:30Gail King.
36:31Oh, that's right.
36:32Yeah, we all saw that.
36:33Yeah, that was weird.
36:34You guys hooked up.
36:35What's even weirder is that she liked you and was talking to you, and like, she looked
36:39so happy to be sitting next to you.
36:41Well.
36:42Yeah, it was weird.
36:43Yeah.
36:44Harold?
36:45I sat, once I sat in the back of the plane, the last row.
36:48Oh, did we change those rules a long time ago?
36:53And I was near the bathroom, and I literally was asleep.
36:56And I woke up, and there was this guy sitting in the middle seat.
36:59He had fallen asleep.
37:00I had the whole world by myself.
37:02And I wake up.
37:02I said, what are you doing?
37:03He goes, oh, my gosh.
37:03I was waiting to use the bathroom.
37:04It's finally open.
37:06That was the weirdest thing.
37:07That is weird.
37:07But they have changed those rules.
37:09Thank God.
37:10Yes, absolutely.
37:10Thank God.
37:11Okay, I thought of it.
37:12I don't really know if it's weird, per se, but I was in a small plane that my friend's
37:17family owned, like the tiny little, and the tire burst upon landing.
37:23So we got stuck there and blocked the runway.
37:25And then they had to shut down the runway for quite a while, because obviously we're
37:28complying with FAA regulations or whatever.
37:30And so that was a little, like, frightening, because we felt it when we landed.
37:34I don't know if that's weird, but that's, like, interesting.
37:36Yeah.
37:36Yeah, that was neither.
37:38Oh, whatever.
37:41God, absolutely.
37:41One time I was flying on Air India, and it was a crowded flight.
37:46And I woke up hours later, and nobody was sitting next to me.
37:49I never know why they moved.
37:52Is that weird?
37:52I don't believe that.
37:53One more thing is up next.
37:54No, that really happened.
37:55Opposite.
37:55All right.
38:10It's time for one more thing.
38:12Greg, you can go first.
38:13Jesse can't get a turn tonight.
38:15Thanks, Janet.
38:16All right.
38:17Tonight, we have Cat, Tim, Tyrus, Todd, Pyro, Mike Baker.
38:21Wow.
38:22That's a Friday night.
38:23Let's do this.
38:24Greg's sexy bear news.
38:27You know, it may be wintertime, but that might be the time to heat things up.
38:31If you're a massive bear, check out this fella.
38:33Oh, yeah.
38:35He's living his best life.
38:37Massive resident bear enjoying the eight inches.
38:43Snowfall in Chicago.
38:45Yeah.
38:46Eight inches.
38:49Not like five.
38:51But making snow angels into sheets of snow.
38:57Rolling around.
38:59Barely legal.
39:03I can't.
39:04I'm so mortified that I thought that was funny.
39:08All right.
39:08You want to help me out here, Jillian?
39:10I'll just go.
39:11I'll take the lead here.
39:12You just sit back and look pretty.
39:13We call it something on video in Minnesota.
39:17I'm not talking about a Somalian stealing our money.
39:19This is a double rainbow, but the rainbow is upside down.
39:24Double upside down rainbow.
39:26I'm not high.
39:27I swear to God.
39:29Tonight, Jesse Warnes Primetime.
39:30New details on the J-6 pipe bomber.
39:33Not only does he have short legs.
39:37Who's this white guy?
39:40Calm down, Jake.
39:40I knew that you should not have a turn.
39:43All right, Harold.
39:44Very different track I'm going on here.
39:46There's a rescue in West Virginia.
39:48As we get ready to go into Christmas holiday, she remind us all how the human spirit is.
39:52It's 625 a.m., a little before this semi-truck veered off.
39:55It's hanging in the air by 100 feet.
39:57The rescue workers showed up.
39:59He dangled like that for hours before they hoisted him to safety.
40:02Look at that truck.
40:04Wow.
40:04And it took these first responders to get him off of there, and now they risked their lives.
40:08So God bless them, and God bless that truck, Harold.
40:10And thanks to Vicki Flora.
40:12Thank you, Vicki.
40:13Thank you, Vicki.
40:14How much should we pay him?
40:16Yes.
40:17Have a great night.
40:18Oh, I'm next?
40:19Okay, super quick.
40:20Take a look at this.
40:21An employee at this Australian tow truck company did this prank.
40:25That is a gigantic foam roast chicken.
40:28That's awesome.
40:29He took one of the trucks in the fleet out, put the chicken in, and then he somehow edited
40:33the CCTV footage so that it was like boom, boom, boom, boom.
40:37It was like chicken car, chicken car, chicken car.
40:39That's funny.
40:40That's a lot of work.
40:40The guy who saw it was really confused.
40:41That's like what Jim used to do with Dwight with his stapler.
40:45Remember, he used to put it in Jell-O.
40:47You never watched the office?
40:47Can you guys give Emily a quickie?
40:48This is awesome.
40:49So Ed Bombas, 88 years old.
40:51He lost his pension after General Motors.
40:54$1.7 million has been raised to support this incredible veteran who needs our help and love
40:58and support.
40:59Not a scam.
41:00Not a scam.
41:01Emily, sorry to cut you off.
41:02That does it for us.
41:04Have a great night.
41:04Hey, Jillian.
41:05Hi, Brad.
41:06I was really partial to the sexy bear news.
41:08I was mortified.
41:10I thought it was funny, but it was funny.
41:13Good evening.
41:14I'm Brad.
41:14Bye for now.
41:39Bye.
41:40Bye.
41:40Bye.
41:41Bye.
41:41Bye.
41:41Bye.
41:41Bye.
41:42Bye.
41:42Bye.
42:43That was the best day in the park ever.
42:57I know. I almost caught that butterfly.
43:02Bye.
43:04Bye.
43:05Bye.
43:09Bye.
43:16Bye.
43:18Bye.
43:19Bye.
43:20Bye.
43:21Bye.
43:22Bye.
43:23I don't know.
43:53See my new bandage, Leo?
44:02The doctor said I was very brave.
