00:00I'm Tom Shalhoub, in for Greg on this very special edition of Gutfeld.
00:26Okay, let's do some jokes.
00:27The value of gold has surged to an all-time high, driven by reduced confidence in U.S. assets.
00:34It seems that everyone has now gotten in on the action.
00:38Oh, my gosh.
00:40On Sunday, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson attended an anti-ice rally in his city.
00:45He didn't originally plan on marching, but was forced to after gang members stole his car.
00:50A woman who approached a snow leopard for a photo in Mongolia suffered severe facial wounds after the animal attacked her.
00:59Doctors say this proves depression isn't the only mental health risk associated with liking cats.
01:04A West Virginia librarian is facing charges for allegedly trying to recruit people to assassinate President Trump.
01:13Sadly, after her arrest, West Virginia now has zero librarians.
01:20Wow.
01:20Last Saturday, Melania Trump hosted a sneak preview of her new Amazon studio film at the White House.
01:27And you can catch a replay of the last administration by streaming The Walking Dead.
01:32The musician Moby is calling for people to join him in boycotting companies that support Trump and ICE.
01:41He'll boycott them along with the sun, muscles, and having testicles.
01:48Twilight star Kristen Stewart said she plans to move out of the U.S. because of Donald Trump.
01:56Meanwhile, Denmark responded, offering us Greenland if she stays.
02:02And finally, Neil Young trashed Jeff Bezos and removed his entire music catalog from Amazon,
02:09admitting his decision is, quote, harmful to my record company in the short term.
02:15By the short term, Mr. Young was referring to the rest of his life.
02:21Okay, to the monologue.
02:23Do you remember movies like All the President's Men and The Post with Tom Hanks?
02:28Hollywood used to make movies about the glory days of the Washington Post.
02:31Now they're as forgotten as this picture of pre-steroid Jeff Bezos.
02:36And now after reports that Bezos is set to unleash massive job cuts at the paper,
02:41staffers are actually turning to Hollywood for help.
02:44Yeah, according to a report, they're considering recruiting stars like Hanks and Meryl Streep to intervene on their behalf.
02:50And if there's one thing Hollywood stars are good at,
02:53it's helping a media company lose money with a horrible product.
02:56Apparently, it all started in recent days after The Post abruptly scrapped its plans to cover the upcoming Winter Olympics
03:04with possible plans to dump its entire sports section and some of the foreign desk.
03:10Just don't dump Sally, Forth, or Kathy.
03:13Those ladies are hilarious.
03:14Meanwhile, the union representing staffers encouraged members to tag Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez in social media posts to get their attention.
03:25Sanchez said,
03:25If you want to get my husband's attention, get fake boobs.
03:28But from there, apparently, the brainstorming continued and staffers wondered if they should contact Hanks,
03:37probably because he's the closest thing that Hollywood has to a religious figure.
03:42But here's the problem.
03:43Bezos isn't a movie critic, although his wife is an expert in makeup and special effects.
03:48He's a billionaire.
03:53He knows how to make money.
03:54And the paper has been bleeding cash for years, losing an estimated $100 million in 2024.
04:00Despite that, the journalists that work for The Post have been in revolt since last year
04:04over what they see as a MAGA infiltration of their beloved newspaper.
04:09It all started when Bezos didn't want the paper to endorse Kamala Harris in the last election.
04:13Some staffers lost their minds, saying trust has been lost.
04:16Editorial board members resigned as a result.
04:20Then Bezos asked the editorial board to provide some more balanced opinions, and more resignations ensued.
04:27They fled in droves, like Gutfeld viewers, when they see this.
04:37I didn't see that in rehearsal.
04:39So it seems that anything short of full-throated campaigning for the Democratic Party
04:44is considered MAGA-coded by the mainstream media.
04:47And let's be honest, Bezos didn't ruin The Washington Post.
04:50The Washington Post ruined The Washington Post.
04:52They never had time for blue-collar voters from what they would call flyover states.
04:57People didn't cancel their subscriptions because of layoffs.
04:59Layoffs are happening because people stopped subscribing.
05:02Because readers don't want lectures.
05:04And they don't want activist groupthink wrapped in journalism font.
05:08They don't want democracy dies in darkness written by people who would block anyone who disagrees with them.
05:14And what irony that Hollywood is being asked to come to the rescue of a dying media outlet
05:19when they're both on the same path.
05:21The Washington Post might just be like the megaplexes and big-budget Hollywood blockbusters.
05:26A thing of the past.
05:27And like Forrest Gump once said,
05:30life is like a box of chocolates and The Washington Post sucks.
05:33Here he is.
05:36Let's welcome tonight's guest.
05:39He's woken up more people than Starbucks.
05:42Host of Fox & Friends and One Nation, Brian Kilmeade.
05:48He has a dual income from stand-up and panhandling.
05:52Host of The Loftus Party, comedian Michael Loftus.
05:58As a kid, she dreamed of becoming Mrs. Foster Grant.
06:01Host of Kennedy Saves the World podcast, Kennedy.
06:07And it's a 20-minute hike from one end of his shoulders to the other
06:11for an NWA world champion and host of the Planet Tyrus podcast, Tyrants.
06:19Brian.
06:20Yes.
06:21What do you think?
06:22The Washington Post, they're in trouble, but they are...
06:25Do you think that was an excellent analogy?
06:28They're looking to Hollywood, but they're both in dying industries.
06:32I think it's a great analogy, a sad analogy, and I think they're losing $100 million.
06:37It's really not a mystery.
06:38Well, why are they closing?
06:39We're losing money, yet everyone quit and they laid everybody off, and they're still losing money.
06:43I think it's hysterical that I said to myself,
06:46why are they asking Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep to bail them out?
06:49I did not know this.
06:50They played Ben Bradley and Catherine Graham, the owner and editor of the newspaper.
06:56So they called in, they pretend as if Tom Hanks is actually that person,
07:00and Meryl Streep is Catherine Graham.
07:02Like, will you pretend to be them, call up and tell Jeff Bezos not to fire us, which is crazy.
07:08I mean, that's like calling up Barbara Eden and saying,
07:10would you blink twice so we don't lose $100 million?
07:13You played a genie on television.
07:15I'm just astounded by this.
07:17And Jeff Bezos, look, he didn't get rich by being stupid.
07:21He just said, how, this is it, I can't keep bailing this paper out,
07:25and you don't listen to me, you're not appreciative,
07:27you've been ripping them every chance you get,
07:29you do these dramatic walkouts, and now you want to bail out.
07:32I have no sympathy for these people.
07:35That's right.
07:36Loftus, look, you remember the New York Times.
07:39They got in trouble.
07:40I think somebody lost his job over there because they allowed Tom Cotton to write one op-ed.
07:45And Jeff Bezos, he is not some MAGA right-winger.
07:48He's left-wing like all the rest of them.
07:49He just wants his property to survive.
07:52Yeah, it's a money thing.
07:54And when you're actively throwing piles of money onto a fire, you stop.
07:58Like, I was laughing out loud when I found out the Washington Post had a sports section.
08:05I know.
08:05Like, who's like, oh my gosh, I have to catch up on last night's ball game.
08:09Hand me the Washington Post.
08:11Let's see what happened to local sports teams.
08:14My God, the Redskins.
08:15Can we do something about that name?
08:17I can't bear to read it.
08:19It's horrible.
08:20Then they had a big uproar because they weren't going to go to cover the Olympics.
08:24And that's like their only hope of ever getting laid, right?
08:29You show up at the Winter Olympics, you can claim to be on a team.
08:33Like, you don't write for the Post.
08:34No, I'm a luge guy.
08:35I'm a luge guy.
08:37I'm the bottom man.
08:38I'm a luge guy.
08:40Yeah, the Washington Post having a sports section is hilarious.
08:44Get rid of it.
08:45It's as useless as like a one-legged frog in a butt-kicking contest.
08:52Get him gone.
08:53Get rid of it.
08:56Tyrus, I mean, do you think Tom Hanks could help as a save on the Washington Post?
09:03Like, I used to have arguments with my brother because he was dumb.
09:06So I had Forrest Gump call him, give him a pep talk, and he started playing great football.
09:11He's a damn cure-all.
09:12No, this is, listen, they killed, and not just the Washington Post, but they picked a side.
09:19They broke the one rule in journalism, you don't pick a side.
09:23You tell the story, and you let everybody else figure it out.
09:25You let the facts fall where they may.
09:27They decided to become martyrs.
09:29They didn't read the definition of a martyr.
09:32You're not a martyr until you're gone.
09:33So they will be martyrs for the left because their asses are gone.
09:38Bye-bye.
09:42That is true.
09:45Kennedy, people are trusting more independent journalists now.
09:49You know, they want to see, they want to go on YouTube.
09:52They want to see, you know, Nick Shirley confronting people in the streets.
09:56It's Washington Post, it's old school, and, you know, they can't, can they come back from that?
10:02Well, every news outlet has the choice.
10:05You know, it is your choice what you cover.
10:08And they could have sent people to Minneapolis with cameras.
10:13They could have investigated any number of the fraud cases that people who worked in Minneapolis city government
10:19had been blowing the whistle about for years and years, but they chose not to do that.
10:23They chose not to cover the story about Kamala Harris's incompetence and, you know, the billions of dollars that she raised
10:31for a losing presidential campaign that she was shoehorned into at the last minute.
10:35They chose not to cover Joe Biden's rapid decline that we could all see before our very eyes until it was too late.
10:44And, you know, they wanted their paper to endorse a woman who couldn't string a sentence together.
10:50And, you know, all of a sudden they're up in arms and they think that Tom Hanks is going to run into Jeff Bezos at a cocktail party
10:56and be like, hey, man, you know, this would be, can you just save the post?
10:59Because one time I pretended to be the guy who ran the post.
11:02Can we just do that?
11:04And Jeff Bezos is like, I'm the captain now.
11:06Tom Hanks is like, a little too close to home.
11:09But they're, I mean, they're bloated.
11:10You can still make money in media.
11:12People are doing it.
11:13Obviously, people are doing it in podcasts.
11:15They're doing it with Substack.
11:16It's just their operations are too big.
11:18They should fight Jake Paul.
11:19That's what they should do.
11:20They should fight Jake Paul.
11:21Everyone makes money by fighting him.
11:23Exactly right.
11:24That's how they save the post.
11:25Even Jake Paul ain't taking that fight.
11:27But could they pare down?
11:28Could the Washington Post go bare bones?
11:30No, because their home, it's the Washington Post.
11:33What, the sad part about it is it's correctable.
11:36It's correctable.
11:37You fire the people up top who made these horrible decisions and brought in these DEI hires and these idiots who just wrote their truth.
11:46And you bring in some of these young people who are interested in the truth.
11:50They're seeing these old, a few good, the president's few men and all these old, Robert, all these old movies.
11:56The reporters didn't care who got burned in finding the truth because their whole goal was to be noble, to tell the people could rely on them.
12:06Who is going to rely on somebody who says, who quotes things like, we have been unburdened by what has been as a great catchphrase?
12:14Nobody.
12:15They chose this fate.
12:16So there is no bailouts.
12:18And to show that they haven't learned, they tried to thought, oh, well, I think his favorite movie, movie star is Tom Hanks.
12:25So if Tom Hanks tells him the paper must stay, he's got to do it.
12:28What kind of a moron does that?
12:30So just by evolution, it's time for their extinction.
12:36They've run out of time.
12:37And the comment is truth.
12:39You're out of time.
12:40Before we go, reminder, you can come and see me on the road live.
12:44I'll be in Nebraska for a couple of shows in March and other places.
12:47Go to TomCheloup.com and sign the mailing list.
12:49Up next, a feminist says Shakespeare was actually a black woman.
13:00Story in five words, was Shakespeare a black woman?
13:08Kennedy, a new book by a so-called feminist historian, claims that Shakespeare was actually a black Jewish woman.
13:15But critics argue there's little evidence for such a claim.
13:18Are you surprised at this?
13:20Yeah, I'm surprised they're asking for evidence, you know, which is racist and misogynistic.
13:26You know, clearly Shakespeare was intersectionalized.
13:28And frankly, this writer doesn't go far enough.
13:32Shakespeare was not just a black Jewish woman.
13:34Shakespeare was a trans woman who happened to be a Palestinian pansexual with a medically verified pygmy penis.
13:46Wow.
13:47You try writing Othello with that many hands tied behind your back.
13:53You know, it's frankly a miracle of science and history.
13:57And it has been one of the greatest miscarriages of literary justice that the truth has only come to light right now on this show.
14:03I can't wait to read the study.
14:05Loftus, mainstream scholars overwhelmingly accept that Shakespeare was a white guy from Stratford in England.
14:13But we keep hearing, you know, probably when you went to college, didn't you hear it was like Francis Bacon?
14:18Or there's always different theories they come up with.
14:20But of course, now it's a black woman, probably a lesbian.
14:23This is perfect.
14:25Oh, absolutely.
14:26For the Netflix special that is in production right now.
14:31They're like dogs.
14:32All you have to do is say Shakespeare was black.
14:35And they're like, what?
14:36What?
14:36And they're going to make that movie.
14:38They're probably filming it right now.
14:40And I'm just jealous that this girl came up with this great working theory of, you know, Shakespeare was a black Jewish lesbian woman, you know, who was misunderstood.
14:51Probably Native American, too.
14:53And who knows?
14:55Pacific Islander.
14:57I think history, I'm going to go home tonight and write several articles about a lot of other people who we didn't know.
15:03Like Custer, General Custer, black man.
15:07Hell, hell no.
15:08Oh, no.
15:09Don't put that dumb ass on us.
15:11No, he had white.
15:12You don't want Custer?
15:13Oh, no.
15:14He rode in there.
15:15No brother's going to walk into that.
15:17Oh, no.
15:19I'm sick today.
15:20No, that Custer is as white as you get.
15:22Only a white dude would run into a room full of Indians trying to stick.
15:26But, Tyrus, were you upset that she went right to black woman?
15:30She didn't even make Shakespeare a black man.
15:32Oh, this makes sense to me.
15:33Yeah, England was known for its diversity back then.
15:35It was a big thing.
15:36I mean, they didn't kick out other white people for having a difference of opinion.
15:40I'm sure a black Jewish woman would fit in like gloves.
15:44This is what...
15:46Shakespeare was about as white as it gets.
15:48The only conspiracy that was ever put up that actually had some legs was that, at that time,
15:54actors and writers were not treated like they are today.
15:57So, a guy would write a poem that was a little too politically and the bishop didn't like it
16:02or the king didn't like it.
16:03You'd come up missing.
16:05So, Shakespeare was actually several English artists who had got together and were writing
16:10it.
16:11And he was a cover name because...
16:13So, the ramifications of their stuff.
16:14But, I think if you would have asked those fellas back then, would they rather be a black
16:20Jewish woman in London or a mouthy playwright, I'm guessing they're going to go with the
16:27mouthy playwright.
16:28Just putting it out there.
16:29I think so.
16:29Brian, we've been hearing these theories for years.
16:32I remember hearing that one.
16:33Did we talk about Shakespeare with several people?
16:35Yes.
16:35This is the kind of things we discuss here at Fox News, right?
16:39Rarely.
16:40Did you guys cover this story in the morning?
16:42Can I just say this, guys?
16:43Unofficially.
16:43Is this the first time we've discussed Shakespeare on Fox News?
16:46No.
16:46In 30 years.
16:47I won a Shakespeare festival in high school.
16:49Well, I'm talking about Fox.
16:51I studied it in college.
16:52I played O'Phillim.
16:52Was there any other contestants?
16:54I'll give it to Tyrus.
16:56He sounds like he wants it.
16:57Jesse Waters loves Shakespeare.
16:59Right?
17:00I'm sure.
17:00Charles Payne, huge Shakespeare guy.
17:02Fantastic.
17:03Brian, I hate to break this to you, but we've all been having Shakespeare festivals here
17:07at work for the last 17 years.
17:09Are you kidding me?
17:10And we haven't invited you.
17:10Because of that attitude.
17:12That attitude right there.
17:14I'm going to take my audience and I'm going home.
17:16So I couldn't believe this.
17:18In doing my research with my team, they think that Shakespeare was actually Anglo-Venetian
17:23of Moroccan descent.
17:24But the thing that ticks him off more than anything else is that Shakespeare was simply a working
17:29class person who is unbelievably successful with an indistinguishable education.
17:36So he emerges as the greatest writer ever, and no one can claim him, so they want to
17:41reduce who he is.
17:42So I think that's unbelievable that the worst bias back then was against the middle to lower
17:48class than it was against race or sexism.
17:51I'm going to bring something else up.
17:52This is just another example of rewriting history.
17:55We'll go back now.
17:56All of a sudden, people like Churchill, not that great.
17:58Pretty much the bad guy in World War II.
18:00Vladimir Putin, just misunderstood.
18:02You really should get to know him.
18:03Napoleon, never that short.
18:05They're making us reevaluate everything.
18:07Wait a minute.
18:08Those were all black women.
18:09Yeah.
18:11Brian, I got an idea for another book for you.
18:13How about Shakespeare, American Patriot?
18:16I love it.
18:17Is that a...
18:17Fantastic.
18:18That's a kill me book, isn't it?
18:20It'll be my first book about a Moroccan woman.
18:24My question is, why do we not know?
18:27Like, why is there so much to be made over Shakespeare?
18:29It wasn't that long ago, was it?
18:31I think the theory about being different artists, hiding their identity, because all the...
18:36You got, like, everything he does is a masterpiece.
18:37He didn't have a bad one.
18:39You know what I'm saying?
18:39He didn't have one with Al Shalnot?
18:41I don't know.
18:42You know, Hamlet.
18:43I mean, they were all...
18:44He didn't have an Ishtar.
18:45No, he did not have an Ishtar.
18:47So they just think they can't believe there was one guy that was so great.
18:50Wait a minute.
18:51Waterworld was all right.
18:52Not really?
18:53I liked it.
18:53Gills behind the ear.
18:54I'll take them.
18:56Waterworld or Water's World?
18:57No, no.
18:58Water's World?
18:58No, no, no.
18:58I'm not into hair pieces.
18:59Same thing.
19:00Up next, Sidney's Bra Blunder.
19:07Will she get away with draping lingerie?
19:26Today, our video of the day comes to us from actress Sidney Sweeney, who could be in legal
19:30trouble over a publicity stunt.
19:33Video shows her climbing on the Hollywood sign in the dead of night, then hanging bras
19:38all over the iconic landmark.
19:40She was promoting her new lingerie brand, but the sign's owners say she didn't have permission.
19:46Typical Hollywood.
19:47They'll go after a beautiful woman, but if she gained 100 pounds and got a mullet, they'd
19:51put her in charge of the fire department.
19:55Ha!
19:56Ha!
19:56Ha!
19:57All right.
19:58Okay, Loftus, who owns the Hollywood sign?
20:02I was surprised there's an owner of that sign, and they're upset about it.
20:05They don't want Sidney Sweeney hanging her bras on the sign.
20:07Yeah, this is where the people of L.A. draw the line, right?
20:12They're like, you can have tent cities of drug dealers, you can set neighborhoods on
20:17fire, corruption left and right, but my God, is that Sidney Sweeney putting a bra on the
20:23Hollywood sign?
20:25So this, we have to, we have to arrest her immediately.
20:28I would be that cop, though.
20:30I would be the cop who would, I would want a full investigation into Sidney Sweeney.
20:34We have to make sure that this is truly her bra.
20:37We're going to have to look and make sure there's going to be video surveillance.
20:42You got a motorboat?
20:43You got a motorboat?
20:43That's, you got a motorboat?
20:44I might have to.
20:45I might have a motorboat.
20:46And we have to make sure she's not going to commit another crime in like a black one-piece
20:50thong, you know.
20:52Make sure she's not armed to cavity search?
20:55Wow, Brian.
20:56Wow.
20:56Wow.
20:57This is Brian.
20:57Wow.
20:58Thanks, Brian.
20:58Perfect.
20:59Sorry, you guys.
21:00How dare you?
21:01There are children in the audience, Brian.
21:03My God, man.
21:04You don't know anything about policing?
21:06Oh, wow.
21:06Kennedy, we're all, can we have a moment of silence?
21:10He just killed the shit.
21:11Yeah.
21:12He does the morning shift.
21:13Right.
21:14Yeah.
21:15Not with that potty mouth.
21:18Save us from this, will you?
21:19Now we are a doocy retired early.
21:22That mouth right there.
21:23Disgusting.
21:24Kennedy, this wasn't, these weren't her personal items.
21:27She was hanging her brand all over the thing.
21:29I think it's a brilliant publicity stunt.
21:31She is able to get in the news every time she does anything.
21:34That's what Sidney Sweeney has needed this last year, publicity.
21:38I was so worried.
21:39I was like, oh my goodness, we haven't seen her anywhere.
21:42Thank God.
21:43She's okay.
21:45But I do have to say, like, if my Tetons can look like that wearing her lingerie, I'll
21:51have what she's having.
21:52I'll buy one of every color.
21:56See, I don't get it.
21:57Out of all the people that don't need publicity.
21:59Because you want to stick your hands up her honey hole, you weirdo.
22:03But of all the people, she could get publicity.
22:05She's a beekeeper?
22:06But I'm not sure.
22:08I think she's a double beekeeper, Tyrus.
22:10Stop.
22:10She could do one Hollywood Reporter interview, do a million, get more publicity than this.
22:15This is something you do if you have no fame.
22:18If you have no money.
22:19She does this and makes absolutely no sense.
22:22Well, that's what works.
22:23I mean, Tyrus, she went out in the middle of the night.
22:25She was shooting it with her phone.
22:27Looks like she was having a good time.
22:28This is the kind of thing that works on the internet.
22:31She's brilliant.
22:32No, she's not brilliant.
22:33And we need to stop.
22:33Like, just stop.
22:34Just because she leans right.
22:36Stop giving people a pass.
22:38She's okay looking.
22:39She's attractive.
22:40She was all right and handmade.
22:41Not great.
22:42Like, she's an actress.
22:44Just because somebody picks a side politically, all of a sudden we start acting like,
22:49everything she does, like Jesus Christ, was like, good job, man.
22:52I would have done the same thing.
22:53She's young.
22:54She's getting a lot of attention.
22:56She's doing these silly things because that's what young people do who get a lot of attention.
22:59But stop acting like she's doing something great.
23:02She's going to get charged.
23:03And you know what?
23:03If that was my daughter and she did that, I would be charged her.
23:06She was trespassing.
23:08We need to just stop doing this.
23:09It's pathetic.
23:11Just because somebody's on the team or in the tent doesn't mean they're absolved because
23:16you can't be mad at somebody for coming into the country illegally and then somebody
23:20who's vandalizing a thing and they're both breaking the law.
23:22We need to be consistent.
23:23Well, you should get mad at law for this.
23:25Don't look at me.
23:25Am I right?
23:25I'm just being real.
23:26Yeah.
23:27Beautiful girl.
23:28You want a thing, but we need to be consistent because we just sound hypocritical.
23:32Tombstone, great movie.
23:33Why I say, well, you're going to go down there and arrest him for carrying a gun?
23:37It's a misdemeanor.
23:37What did his brother say?
23:39They're breaking the law.
23:40So she's doing something wrong.
23:42Get fined and get taken and move on.
23:44If we don't police our own, we have no business saying what the other side does.
23:49Tyrus wants her prosecuted.
23:50What do you think?
23:51It's a fine.
23:52I just want a pair of delightful cans.
23:57Sorry to be the voice of fun here.
24:00It's like, oh, send in Tom Homan.
24:03You better get her arrested and deported.
24:05Is it, has it been proven that she leans right, Tyrus?
24:09I thought that.
24:10I don't think she leans right.
24:11The thing is, I'm always.
24:12If she leaned left, we wouldn't even talk about her.
24:14Just stop.
24:15I don't think there's any proof that she's right wing, though, Tyrus.
24:19I just think that people on the right, correct me if I'm wrong.
24:23I think that the people on the right, and there's a lot of, you know, fans have gone crazy over Sidney Sweeney because she's not politically correct.
24:30She doesn't give in to the cancel culture crowd, but I don't know of any, her being on record, being like MAGA or anything, right?
24:37She does.
24:38I don't know.
24:39I just think that her.
24:40We embraced her.
24:40She became the poster child.
24:42She's a normal kid.
24:43Let her be a kid.
24:44And she needs, she needs to stop.
24:45Registered as a Republican voter.
24:47She is.
24:48Okay.
24:48I didn't know that.
24:48She needs to stop doing these, these stunts with her bra and panties.
24:53And she definitely should not go to my house tonight because I'm not going to be there tomorrow night.
25:03She could break in and maybe wake me up.
25:08You will not charge her.
25:09I will not charge her.
25:10Okay.
25:12Nor will I be doing anything untoward like you would suggest.
25:15Exactly.
25:16Try and kill me.
25:17Just because she leans right.
25:18Oh, they're both equal.
25:21Don't top that, Brian Kilmeade.
25:23Leave it there.
25:24Coming up, big brother in your car.
25:34Should we be concerned?
25:40Tonight in Should We Be Concerned, some drivers are calling future anti-drunk driving technology
25:46in cars, a kill switch hidden deep within Biden's infrastructure law passed in 2021.
25:53It's legislation requiring car companies to install so-called passive systems within five years that would monitor a driver's impairment and blood alcohol.
26:02And if it looks like the driver is drunk, prevent the car from starting.
26:07Now, this is not being implemented yet.
26:09But critics are worried government could remotely deactivate cars.
26:14What is your take on this, Brian?
26:16Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, he got people talking because he tweeted out this thing is like a George Orwell novel.
26:21He doesn't like it.
26:22See, I don't understand.
26:24This is a whole new level.
26:25I did not know that they could monitor your cars, but that's why you don't get an electric car.
26:28Because think about it.
26:29If you have an electric car in that town that you were in another pandemic, they don't want you to drive.
26:33You want to drive.
26:34They just say, well, shut the electricity down.
26:36That's why I have a gas car.
26:37Can they do that?
26:38They can shut down cars.
26:40Listen, if anyone's good at shutting off the electric and rolling blackouts, it's Gavin Newsom.
26:44So he would be able to pull that off.
26:46But on this thing in particular, on the surface, this seems like a good idea.
26:50I mean, a lot of times people have a drink or two.
26:52You think to yourself, you're OK.
26:54You go to turn that on.
26:55The blood alcohol level's over.
26:57You save yourself a year in jail and a lot of embarrassment.
27:00But I never thought no one takes anything at surface value anymore.
27:04Instead of saying this is to stop drunk people from driving, people say, wait a second.
27:08This has got to be so the government can stop you from driving.
27:12I just don't buy into these conspiracy theories.
27:15Kennedy, what do you think?
27:16They say, the car companies say, no, the car is going to make the decision, not the government I don't trust.
27:21Sure.
27:21Yeah, the car is not making the decision.
27:23The decision was made when Congress passed the law.
27:26And this was a small provision in a massive bill.
27:30And, you know, they tried to unring this bell.
27:33Recently, but they didn't get enough votes in Congress because Republicans sided with Democrats.
27:39The anti-Liberty Republicans did.
27:41And, you know, as Warren Fix, a writer who has written extensively about this, has noted, there's no due process.
27:48So, you know, it could be someone is distracted.
27:51Someone is searching for their keys.
27:52So their car shuts off.
27:54They can't start it again.
27:55But there's nothing in the law that says, well, when will the car be able to start back up?
28:00You know, what if this was an accident?
28:01What if all of the systems and sensors in your car misfired?
28:06Does that mean you can't drive for, you know, the next five starts, the next week and a half?
28:10It doesn't really tell you.
28:12And, you know, what if you have a very liberal president who decides they don't like people from Fox News?
28:18This isn't electric cars.
28:19This is all cars made after model year 2026.
28:23And the law was passed in 2021.
28:26They had five years to implement this technology.
28:29That means it's coming this year.
28:32And no one seemed to be concerned about it.
28:34But it's fine when your guy is in power.
28:36But when it's the other guy who is targeting you and your side because you have been deemed the enemy, you're hosed.
28:42I am feeling very bad about this.
28:45Kennedy has schooled me.
28:46We don't even need to continue this segment.
28:48But let's do it.
28:50Tyrus, I mean, what if you are, she makes me think, if you're driving erratically because you're running away from people who are chasing you.
28:58I don't drive erratically.
29:00You don't?
29:00Listen, if there was a – their whole problem is the branding.
29:05You can't call something the kill switch if it's the life switch.
29:10If somebody is drunk and impaired and you stop them from driving, you potentially save the life.
29:16If someone is swerving all over the street and the car recognizes or the sophomore recognizes it's erratic or pumping brakes and slamming brakes and it shuts down, that should be a good thing.
29:27I don't – but whenever we – the problem is in this government, they always use a good thing as a cover for something bad.
29:36And that's the problem.
29:37If face value was, you could install something.
29:40You could put a breathalyzer thing.
29:42You're going and coming out and there's a –
29:43They have to.
29:43You've got to breathe in that.
29:44You've got to breathe in and start your car on a Friday night or whatever.
29:46It's something you should just be responsible and do.
29:50But again, it's not – we have to stop reading the – we have to read – we have to stop being like everyone on the internet.
29:56We have to read more than the cover of the story because the fact that something like that, which should be a celebrated thing, like, hey, we have the technology to where if you've had too much to drink, that not only will the car drive you home, also if you try to drive it, it will stop you.
30:10But why does it have to be in 9,000 other things?
30:13And that's the question.
30:14If it was one bill unilaterally and explained to everyone the technology was there, it's like when everyone went to the FOP.
30:20You could unlock your car with this.
30:21And then the government could stop you from doing that.
30:23But you could make – but unfortunately, our government over the last eight years, we – does not have the confidence of the people.
30:31So whenever they say anything is a good thing, I'm with Kennedy like, really?
30:36I don't believe them.
30:37Like daycares in Minnesota?
30:39That was a good thing?
30:40It's – I don't trust it.
30:42I don't want this thing in my car.
30:43And I'm telling you, if they – if all new cars have this kind of technology, I'm just going to go back to the old cars.
30:48I'm just going to buy old used cars.
30:50What do you think, love?
30:50That's where it's at.
30:52The old cars are better anyway.
30:55This is horrible.
30:58They're going to rob people of one of the few great delights.
31:02When you're at home and all of a sudden there's a high-speed chase, you're like, ooh, free entertainment.
31:09Yeah.
31:10Because there's going to be the cops going in.
31:12Oh, maybe they're coming by my neighborhood.
31:14I live in Los Angeles.
31:15And then what's going to happen?
31:16What's the crime?
31:17You've got the helicopter shots.
31:19That's a movie.
31:20And it's just free and happening.
31:22Now it's going to be like, kill switch, and it's over.
31:25I don't want that.
31:27Yeah.
31:27What about Fox Nation specials?
31:29They go out by the board.
31:30We have so many cops episodes now.
31:32They'll go right out.
31:32Yes.
31:33Welcome back to cops.
31:34Kill switch.
31:35And you're done.
31:37Where's the fun out of everything?
31:39Cops ain't going anywhere because then you still have the foot race.
31:42Oh, that's true, too.
31:43Yeah, you do have the foot chase.
31:45That is good.
31:45You know what that reminds me of is you're saying the – I remember when they used to advertise the VHS videotapes, world's scariest police chases?
31:53Yeah.
31:53And, you know, they charged you, like, you know, $79 for a VHS of police chases?
31:58I bought it.
31:59I actually spent the money on it.
32:01I remember.
32:02Like, those are the kind of things.
32:03Yeah, because it's great.
32:03It's wonderful entertainment.
32:05There's a crime.
32:06There's a pursuit.
32:07There's justice.
32:07You have a resolution.
32:09You sleep like a baby.
32:10Not with this.
32:11They're just going to be turning off cars left and right.
32:14You don't think they would have been shutting down cars during COVID?
32:17They would have.
32:17Oh, they would have.
32:18No, you're not allowed to go to the grocery store.
32:20Bing, bang, bang.
32:20Exactly.
32:21I'm just glad.
32:22That's it.
32:22The COVID thing, that seals it.
32:25I'm going to fight this.
32:26We're going – I'm going to march on Washington.
32:28Up next, Parents Scrolling Hack.
33:02Что в тебе таится, малая, но не забирай, пока небо сохранит от май в ней, пока в небо еще сил набрать.
33:14I have more words.
33:36A parent's only wish, scrolling.
33:42Okay, Loftus, the Wall Street Journal wrote an article about parents.
33:46They never get the privacy to scroll because now they're so embarrassed about scrolling on their phone that they're sitting in their driveways and they're scrolling for long periods of time in their car.
33:58Is this a good development because they're ashamed of doing social media or is it a bad development?
34:02This is horrible.
34:03This is sad.
34:04I'm sad for humanity.
34:06You're a man.
34:08Go home and scroll.
34:09Do your...
34:10This guy's wife rats him out to the press.
34:14My husband.
34:15I caught him on the ring camera.
34:16He just sits in his car and scrolls on his phone.
34:21Becky, he's tired of your...
34:23He wants to scroll.
34:25Well, I hope he's scrolling Tinder.
34:27That's what I hope.
34:28Oh, my God.
34:29Yeah, that's right, people.
34:31Buckle up.
34:32I'm going to go full kill meat on you.
34:35I don't know why you brought me into this, but I just think a couple of things.
34:39Number one, in the 70s and 80s, this is apparently walk inside and have a drink and talk to people.
34:46But those were the days when you would, you know, you watch Dallas or Dynasty at one o'clock in the afternoon.
34:52You have a meeting.
34:53You're pouring a scotch.
34:54So, now, today, no one walks in and grabs a beer anymore or pours a drink and deals with the kids.
35:00So, they say, if I go in, all hell's going to break loose and lose total control of my life.
35:04So, you just give me 10 minutes of doom scrolling.
35:07The bad news is, you don't know what you're going to get.
35:09Are you going to get Minneapolis over to dead Iranian protesters over to crazy, you know, crazy things going on in Iowa tonight?
35:17It's going to get you even more stressed because your phone knows you better than your family.
35:21It knows exactly your interest and how to keep your interest.
35:25Your family has no idea how to keep your interest.
35:28They have no idea.
35:28They don't care about you.
35:29They just care about themselves.
35:31What is wrong with you?
35:32What do you mean?
35:34How?
35:34Just besmirching family life like that?
35:36No, my family life is great.
35:38I'm thinking about it.
35:38Oh, yeah.
35:38It's because you work 47 hours a day.
35:40That was a family request.
35:43But Tyrus.
35:44But nothing.
35:45I was trying to put a good spin on it.
35:47There's no good spin on this.
35:48He doesn't.
35:49Listen, this is all.
35:50This is again.
35:51This is shapes and mirrors.
35:53Anyone who's been at work all day and everyone works with their phone.
35:57Their phone's always with them.
35:58And you pull up in the driveway and you said, I need five more minutes on the phone.
36:02The family's not the problem.
36:04You're the problem.
36:06Because you know what?
36:06On your phone, you're the coolest guy.
36:08And you do this thing.
36:09You can lie about all your stuff.
36:10There's people waiting for you with real issues and stuff.
36:14Scrolling.
36:15Adults who are scrolling are the same adults who talk about kids scrolling.
36:18Where do you think the kids got it from?
36:21At least be in the bathroom when you do it.
36:23Go sit in the bathroom.
36:24At least you're in the house so someone can yell for you to hurry up.
36:27But can you imagine that you have to watch as if you were a husband and your wife is
36:31out in the parking lot in the driveway for 25 to 30 minutes at night?
36:36So you're taking the wife's side.
36:37This is totally against Loftus.
36:39This is a horrible marriage.
36:41Just get the divorce, bro.
36:43Like you work to go home.
36:46Don't you like your home?
36:47Right.
36:48Go in your home.
36:49What's bad about your home?
36:50What's better on your phone than your home?
36:53Look, this is a painful lesson that a lot of men learn in divorce court.
36:57Like, take your ass home.
36:59Turn your phone off.
37:00You are home.
37:00You're side inside.
37:01I'm going to, Kennedy, I'm going to give these fictitious people an out here because
37:05I heard a guy talking on one of these kind of broke podcasts the other day.
37:08They had their pictures in the Wall Street Journal store.
37:10Yeah.
37:11Well, so other people, the kind of people who were criticizing.
37:14This guy was saying that he sits in the driveway and he gets his last few tasks out of the
37:20way so he can be 100% focused on his wife and his family.
37:23He wants to get those tasks out of the way.
37:25He doesn't want to be going to the phone.
37:27He wants to be present for his family because he's a great...
37:29He said, every guy who's watching porn.
37:30Okay, but I'm sure maybe he's doing that because he was hyper-focused at work.
37:36He's going to be hyper-focused on his family.
37:38And we all know that scrolling is just mindless.
37:42It's the only time of day when you can just sit there.
37:44Like, I don't have negativity and chaos and urban warfare in my algorithm.
37:51I have French bulldogs.
37:52You do?
37:52I have a guy called the Calm Cat Whisperer who grooms angry cats.
37:58I've got, like, people making high-protein meals and surfing.
38:02Like, that's...
38:03And it's like, I'm just like...
38:04And I try and schedule in time every day just to mindlessly scroll because I want to
38:09be hyper-focused on my family and at work.
38:11But there are a few times during the day when you have to unplug completely, and I think
38:17that's what people are doing.
38:18Yeah.
38:20Kill me.
38:20Yeah!
38:21Woo!
38:23See, I think she did the positive spin just like I did.
38:27Kill me.
38:28Do you really do news?
38:29Do you, as you say, do the scroll?
38:30When I don't do scroll, I get one interesting thing after the other.
38:33It doesn't relax me.
38:34It gets me going.
38:34Well, that's the thing.
38:35You do news 24 and 7.
38:37Why do you relax to the news?
38:38This is why I have no friends.
38:39I only have one speed.
38:41This is why I don't...
38:42My work has no other options.
38:44I mean, but a couple of things.
38:46I met the guy that came up with doomscrolling, and he says it's the biggest regret of his...
38:52He would think it's the biggest breakthrough of his life.
38:54Biggest regret.
38:54He feels as though he addicted a whole bunch, like a generation...
38:57What did he do?
38:57How did he come up with doomscrolling?
38:58What are you talking about?
38:59I don't even...
38:59He invented it?
39:00I met the guy that invented doomscrolling, and I am bragging.
39:04I don't even know what that means.
39:05How do you invent doomscrolling?
39:07What does that mean, kill me?
39:08It means at one point we had a Blackberry, and we could barely text, and now we have an
39:12iPhone that knows us better than our own family.
39:13Oh, he was a tech guy.
39:14So he's a tech guy that came up with doomscrolling.
39:16Yeah, the infinite scroll.
39:17I got one more question.
39:18Loftus, you called her Becky.
39:19Is that a new name for women like Karen?
39:21Did you say Becky as a...
39:22Yes.
39:22Yes.
39:23Yes.
39:23Is that yours?
39:25I don't know.
39:26Becky's always been there.
39:27Becky's been there for a long time.
39:30So we have Karen's, and now we have Becky's.
39:32We had Becky, and Becky was replaced by Karen.
39:35Oh.
39:35And now Karen's been replaced by Jessica.
39:37Yeah.
