The Five

00:00 It is time. 00:05 Hello, everyone. I'm Emily Campagno, along with Harold Ford Jr., Brian Kilmeade, Sandra Smith and Greg Gutfeld. It's five o'clock in New York City, and this is The Five. 00:22 Is the hot commie summer about to flame out for the Dems? America's next top socialist chef and Thanksgiving hater, Francesca Hong, thinks she's cooking up a victory tonight in the Wisconsin governor's primary against her moderate opponent, David Crowley, who says it is a racist slur to call him establishment. But Hong will have to win without the socialist secret sauce. Both Bernie and AOC are refusing an endorsement. But Hong is not deterred. She's got other worries. Watch. 00:53 I've cooked many great Thanksgiving dinners. 00:58 And I'm not going to cancel Thanksgiving. 01:00 For voters who fear that democratic socialism could turn into communism, what would you want them to know? 01:08 No, this is a state where we still have a 233 tip minimum wage and 725 minimum wage. I think it's going to be pretty hard to turn that into socialism soon. But what we can do with this campaign is make sure that we're fighting for the policies that working class people first. 01:29 Hong is also getting snubbed by far left darling Hassan Piker for a final rally push, despite her cozying up to the 9-11 apologist last week. And speaking of Piker, Joe Scarborough finally found his spine, calling out DSA Dems for cozying up to the wingnet streamer. 01:47 This is about the Democrats once again fumbling the football on the two yard line when they have a chance to make great gains. But being so woke, I don't know if you want to call it woke one, woke two or woke three, but being too woke to call out the obvious. 02:06 I swear to God, it's really it's crazy that we're even having this conversation. If somebody says a woman being raped doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, it's OK to call that person out and demand that candidates distance themselves from those people. 02:28 So, Greg, I'm covered in spit. 02:32 How did he do that? 02:34 Oh, my goodness. You know, it's amazing about Joe Scarborough. He's always the last guy to say the obvious thing. So he has to say it the loudest. It becomes this big screen like he's some suddenly discovered something. You know, he has a show. He could have discussed wokeism any number of times. He could have called out the party's embrace of identity over meritocracy. We've been doing it for years. But he's like the guy that shows up to help you move apartments after the furniture has already been unpacked and carried up the stairs. 03:10 He's just there to eat the pizza altogether. We did it without him and we'll continue to do it without him. He's been doing this forever and it doesn't matter. It's actually just pure performative, Sandra. You know, there's a myth that the left and right positions on on these issues are symmetrical. And I think that the DSA is showing that they're not. 03:33 For example, having a police force and not having a police force. That is not symmetrical. The second opinion actually exits the argument. Think about the border. Having a border, not having a border. That is not symmetrical. One operates in the logic of a nation state. The other one deserts it. 03:52 The same thing with biology. We were in biology. They exited biology. Economics. We have a free market. They had to develop an entire party called the Socialist Party in order to fight the idea of free markets. Private property. We know what private property is. They... 04:10 Act like it doesn't exist. So it's not it's no longer a debate over goals. It's a debate over how how a system survives. You know, imagine if Fox announces that like they're going to hire Francesca Hong to be a panelist on the five, perhaps to replace Jesse. 04:29 Of course, there would be great outcry, but no one is going to die. 04:35 That's that's how it is. That's not the same with governor. You know, Wisconsin governor, it used to be a job where it is valued as highly important to the Wisconsin citizens. Now, just like a lot of jobs, it became hugely valuable to the person getting it and the group that she represents. It's it somehow becomes like an award that you give to somebody. It's no longer. No, we should actually think about the people first. And when you consider American governors, Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Carter, they all became presidents. 05:07 You look at her and you go, man, that is shrinkflation, a degradation of quality at the same cost. I wouldn't trust her to be my dog walker. And voters willing to hand over control of a 60 billion dollar budget, state operations, prisons, transportation, education. You vote for her. You're nuttier than her. And she's nuttier than a squirrel's diarrhea. 05:30 Oh, yes. Brian. On that note. 05:34 You looked at Sandra and said, Brian. She wouldn't respond, so you looked at me. 05:39 So, Sandra, do you think, is it a sign that since AOC and Bernie are withholding their endorsements of her, is there some demarcation we can look forward to in the Democrat Party, or is it just they're staying quiet, and then if she wins, they'll fold in? 05:52 I think it's really special that Bernie Sanders and AOC can't warm up to Hong, but I think there's a wake-up call here. 05:59 How in the world are Republicans letting Democrats, far left, radical, socialist Democrats own the affordability thing, own that prices are up because of Donald Trump? You know, yesterday we were having this discussion and I was mad at myself that I couldn't just present these facts. Trump handed after his first term Biden gas prices at two dollars thirty nine cents. He ran those prices up to a record $5 a gallon at the pump. 06:31 Where were these people then? Now they want those policies back and more. Trump then handed off $2.81 a gallon. Biden handed off $3.10. Trump brought it back down in his second term to $2.80 a gallon. 06:47 It's back up near four. OK, so that's where Democrats are saying they're crying. Your gas prices are right. You're back. This is while we're in the middle of the war, ensuring that Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons. 06:57 So they're not endorsing her for many reasons because her her policies in many cases have gone so far left. And Bernie Sanders happens to like Turkey at Thanksgiving. But for Republicans to not. 07:10 own the affordability problem that Americans are suffering right now is a problem. They need to acknowledge that that happened and that happened under the last presidency. But now we've got to own it. We've got to bring you know what she's talking to those voters about right now in their front yards. 07:25 She's talking about state guaranteed paid leave. She's talking about raising the minimum wage to $20 an hour. Do you know what that's going to do to small businesses, how many people that's going to put out of work? A one-year moratorium on new AI data center construction. She wants to raise income taxes on couples making just over $400,000 a year. So these are the solutions she's offering today. at a very sensitive time for this affordability moment. But Republicans beware. Don't let them keep owning this affordability message when the numbers clearly show these prices ran up under the last administration and the onus is on Republicans to get them back down come midterm elections. 08:02 It's a great point. So do you think, Brian, that the Republicans will be able to harness that messaging in time for the generals of all of these? 08:09 Well, right now we're watching Big Brother. We're watching a fight go on within the family, the Democratic family. And then we're going to see what Tom Tiffany in Wisconsin is going to do to hold on to that, to try to flip the seat back to the first Republican governor since Scott Walker. But Scott Walker said something interesting. Hey, Republicans, you can vote in this primary. Do not push this woman. Because she could actually win. And if she wins, we're all doomed. And it's not a game anymore. Because remember, when she came out and tried to justify what she said, I had some hot takes that went awry. 08:40 And then she blamed sportscasters. You see, I was a sportscaster. I wanted to be a sportscaster. I used some hot takes. But she goes, I shouldn't have let my feelings out. So she didn't say, I've changed, which I wouldn't believe anyway. She said, I shouldn't have said it. I shouldn't have tweeted it. But she still stands for abolishing the police. She still stands for abolishing prisons. She still stands for abolishing the U.S. Senate. And the criticism of Thanksgiving is, I'm sorry I said it out loud, and it seemed to have bored her son. Did you see how he yawned when his mom's talking? That's one thing. When your mom runs for governor, we've always said this, don't bring your son out if he's tired. 09:11 Because I am totally thrilled by the fact that he is so bored of this campaigning. But I think the guy that's on the docket right now, and Harold, I'll see if you agree with me, is Hassan Piker. Because all those people left his side, her side. You know, so Bernie Sanders left, AOC left, all the famous socialists. I'm not campaigning with them. The only person still standing there is Hassan Piker. So if she blows a double-digit lead... In the end, in today's primary results, which is coming in a few hours, it's going to be his fault. Harold, do you agree with everything I said? 09:43 It's good to be with you. I think a couple of things. 09:46 I hope that voters in Wisconsin, Democrats, do not support Ms. Hunk to be the Democratic standard bearer and nominee for governor. 09:56 I'm a believer that not only is electability important, but you have to be able to govern. We live in an era and a time increasingly where both sides are electing people who excite their sides the most. 10:09 And we forget that you're elected to office to try to not only reach across the aisle, but reach within your own party to try to solve things. One of the reasons that President Trump didn't get all the things he wanted over the last several days and a few weeks in Washington was was because a lot of Republicans didn't vote for him. The SAVE Act, the Clarity Act, things that the president really, really wanted. I don't see how those things help lower prices. I'll come back to Sanders' point in a minute. But he's having problems within his own party. So I think Democrats, Republicans alike, and I'll focus on Democrats, you've got to elect people who not only can excite the 20, 30 percent of the party base, but who can actually help govern in lower prices, who can help develop better outcomes and solutions overseas, who can help get better outcomes in our schools. 10:50 And you have to be able to work across the aisle to do that. The last time we worked across the aisle on education, I was in Congress. George W. Bush, Dana, was in administration at the time working for him. He passed the No Child Left Behind Act. And you had Democrats, Republicans alike working on that. So you have to figure out ways in which to work together, too. 11:08 I think it's going to be hard, Sandra. I think you make some interesting points. I don't agree with many of them, but you make interesting points about how you can blame the I hope Republicans actually take on the affordability issue, not because of the reasons that you enumerated, but because I think, again, it's better if both sides are acknowledging it's a problem. Now, we can acknowledge, we can figure out where the source is. I'm glad Abe Lincoln didn't blame George Washington for the Civil War. When you get elected president, you have a responsibility. President Trump made a lot of promises before he was elected, including the lower prices, including the end of war in Ukraine and not get us to never ending wars. 11:39 And things happen. Things unfold. 11:42 I think the answer for Democrats around the war is we've got to reassert and reestablish and reconstitute and strengthen our relationships with NATO, because the only way we're going to get out of this, and it's another conversation with this Iranian thing, is we have to have friends and allies in which to do it. Finally, I'd do two things if I were Democrats on the crisis, Andrew. I'd say take back every tariff unless it's a tariff protecting the U.S. industry. Don't tax the first $75,000 federal tax of anybody's income in this country. 12:10 If you work 40 hours a week, you get reduced to free 40 or more. You 50 hours a week, you get free child care. And four, stop the name calling. Both sides. That's what I would do if I were running for office today. And that's what if I were Democrats, what I'd be talking about, particularly in these federal races. And again, I end where I started. 12:27 I don't want to see Miss Hong be the nominee in Wisconsin because it's unclear to me that she can work across the aisle and get things done. 12:33 We would all vote for you. We hope you do run. OK, coming up next, secret agent Trump, the president's daring decoy to dodge an Iranian assassination threat. Stay with us. 13:04 It's the ruse in the news. A recent report claims that President Trump evaded an alleged Iranian assassination plot last month in Turkey, the country, not the food, Sandra, by pulling the old switcheroo, secretly swapping planes, then getting shuttled to the decoy one in an airport catering truck, which is how I get away from Kilmeade at work. 13:27 Naturally, the left is dishing out the outrage. Roll it, Lars. 13:32 This is very unusual, the way they approach this and the secrecy around it. 13:36 Every 12 hours, it's a roller coaster, which is no way to conduct sensitive diplomacy. He's lost control of the situation. 13:44 It is unprecedented and it is surreal, as Dan has just said, but it's also downright scary. 13:52 This war has made the world less safe. 13:55 This is not about national security. It's about Donald Trump's ego. Donald Trump was embarrassed that he could not keep his Qatari plane. 14:03 You know, I love how they say, Brian, how unusual. It's secret. It's a roller coaster. But that's what happens when you demonize a president. He's taking an enormous risk just going outside. 14:16 I mean, to his golf course and California. They just had a gunman just on his golf course the other day, and then they had one at Mar-a-Lago about three months ago. So it just stands to reason there might be some type of threat when he goes to Turkey A, by the way. They decided mid-range to change the name of their country. We should think about that. Wait a minute. They did? Yeah. It's Turkey A. Are you kidding me? We can look it up. Child, if you don't mind, while I finish this. 14:39 Can you introduce information like that into the show without us knowing it? Wait a second. I'm just a guest here. You've got to be nicer. This isn't Fox and Friends. I know. 14:50 Is it really Turkey A? 14:52 Turkey A. When did this happen? I was supposed to tell you it was my fault. I blame myself. If we can get a globe for this man, he could understand exactly where to locate it. A globe. Yeah, if you don't mind. 15:03 I don't use it. 15:03 That was good. Yeah, I don't use Waze. I use a globe. Yes, you have a globe on your passenger seat of your car. Honey, I think I'm lost. Take a spin and we go... Start in the Arctic and just head way down, which, by the way, is melting. More on that later. 15:17 But this is it does not surprise me. 15:18 Remember, they tried to assassinate George H.W. Bush, 41, when he went over after the Iraq war. So that's what they do. They try to kill. We try to kill American leaders, sadly. And the world tries to kill American leaders. A lot of people resent that we're great. And this president, of course, is a target. Having said that, I think that's a small part of the story. I think the real story is what we do next in Iran. I think the president is going to put the economic squeeze on him. I think the misery index is up to 91%. I'll fill that in, Greg. The misery index goes up every time I walk by your office. I understand that. So I'll just help you out with that for a little bit later. 15:49 You're not writing your own insults. Wow. 15:53 I understand I made his monologue if I could just preview that. So that was good to know. So just my point is this. I do end up in a kinetic war to finish this thing off before Labor Day because the Iranians need to understand who the superpower is. 16:07 He's doing a switcheroo on the topic. 16:08 Yeah, but he does make a good point. And I hate to say that because it is Kilmeade. 16:13 It does. Like, for Sandra, it's like it is kind of it says something that Iran can still has the agency to engineer plots when they're essentially have been decapitated. 16:24 That's why I'm left boggled when the media says that they you know, this is so unusual that they didn't fill in the media. This is the most targeted U.S. president in the history of the country. We know that to be a fact we should all. cheer on the safety of our president. And we should allow the security and the Secret Service to do everything that they have to do to ensure the president's safety. It reminds me a little bit of Taylor Swift in the middle of the heiress tour when she was going to the Chiefs game. Do you remember that? Do you remember when they were sneaking her out in the popcorn cart twice? 16:56 They did it again. And then that was real. I thought that was it. Very real. OK. Do whatever it takes to keep Taylor Swift happy. She had those heirs to her concerts. But nonetheless, the media outrage is crazy on this. Do what you got to do to keep the president safe. 17:11 Harold, can you work Taylor Swift into your answer about a deadly, serious topic that Sandra apparently doesn't care about? 17:20 First of all, I give the Secret Service tremendous credit. This kind of a James Bond effort to ensure that the president's safety was guaranteed. We give them credit. But I do understand why if you were left on that plane, you would be upset. 17:34 There probably needs to be a better protocol because you don't put, even if you don't like reporters, you don't like the people, you don't leave them on a plane like that. I think that's a concern, a legitimate concern, and maybe they can take that up. But Brian, I think, raises the equally important point. 17:49 This is about Iran. We have lost a lot of leverage with Iran. We need to admit that to the points that Sandra and Brian were making. We were told we had decimated so much of their abilities. How then could they, if we decimated all of these abilities, how then could they shoot down the flying White House if they didn't have some capabilities left? I think Brian is right. I think the economic squeeze has to be put on. But we in the country, and we've been saying this on this show now for many weeks, we have to make a determination about two things. One, what is it that we want? 18:21 We've said regime change. We've said ballistic missile incapacitate that ability. 18:26 incapacitate their ability or excuse me, incapacitate their ability to provide money to proxies and for the nuclear. And then finally, the thing that we really want, we should all be clear about if we got it today would be the opening of the Straits of Hormuz and everything would be be on a level. If once the president makes that determination, then I think you can organize a strategy around trying to execute. But if you're every day, it's a multiple choice of what you want. It's very difficult. Now, remind everybody, the president just a few days ago said that we will level the place. 18:55 And in just a few days since, he said, we shall see what happens. That's the kind of objective and strategy and execution you can't have if you're going to squeeze economically. And I agree with Brian, and I hate to say this, to do the things we want to do there before the election, we will likely have to put troops on the ground. And I don't believe there's an appetite in the country for that. There's certainly not one now, but maybe if the president shares with the country why it's necessary, how long he believes it will take, and prepare the country for the kind of toll it could pose on us, maybe we do it. But this country is not ready. 19:24 There's military plans without using troops on the ground. 19:27 It's just up to the president to pull the trigger. You may be right. There are plans, but there are also plans about putting troops on the ground also that you and I both know about. 19:33 Emily, last word to you. 19:35 So I talked to Jeff James. He was a former presidential secret service supervisory agent for five presidents. That's nice. He's amazing. And this is what he had to say. He said, bruises happen all the time, especially overseas. So I remember George Bush came out of a C-20 unmarked plane. The difference there being he came out of it exposing the decoy and they told the press off the record prior. So now the fact that the press is up in arms that they weren't told, though, he said it's called secret for a reason. So if there's credible intelligence, which is the touchstone and the keystone of all of these kinds of things, then you do whatever it takes to get the president off of whatever has been threatened, including an amazing catering cart. 20:17 And he said he was reminded as well, George Bush, it's a need to know thing. So George Bush in the middle of the night was secreted to see the troops believe over Thanksgiving. 20:29 Even other agents weren't told. So they were there at his ranch in Waco. And he said, you know, we just thought he was sleeping because you don't take it personally. That's part of the job. You need to know whoever does and whoever doesn't. That's why. I mean, even the families don't know. That's why they all sign NDAs when they're going on these trips. So it's so laughable to me that members of the media think that they have some type of expectation of, or classified expectation of knowing this, when since 1979, what, one in six American combat deaths have been at the hands of Iran? 21:01 We've prosecuted how many attempted assassination plots in this country, including against DJT. Like, the numbers speak for itself. So, no, it did not just start happening because of the never-ending war in Iran right now under this president. And also, there is no way that they're going to tell them. Plus, didn't you guys think visually that it looked like 2014 NFC championships, Seahawks, Packers, that sick trick play. Anyone? Where, like, the holder, like, tossed it to the one guy on the left, and then he, like, tossed it to the rookie, and they won the game. 21:31 Thank God nothing happened to those reporters on that plane, though. 21:34 Thank God nothing happened to our president, most importantly. And them, too, but I'm just saying. 21:39 Thank God nothing has happened to Taylor Swift. 21:43 Next, GSA gets its way. Who will put the rapist away? 21:59 We ride a shotgun underneath the hearts. I'm feeling like a sun. 22:06 Greg. All right. You don't hear about this a lot from the media, but violent crime is falling across many of America's biggest cities in the first half of this year. Homicides are down more than 17 percent. Robberies, 16.6. Rapes declined over 6 percent and aggravated assaults down 5.7 percent. So here's the question. What happens to public safety if the DSA gets more power? Well, one leader was just pressed on their calls to abolish police and prisons, and it was Dodge City. 22:40 If my daughter is assaulted and raped, is there any agency that would seek to find her assailant and bring him to justice? 22:50 Of course. Yeah, of course. 22:51 What would it be if not police and where would he be if not a jail? 22:56 So I guess I really want to avoid getting kind of caught into these hypotheticals. We're spending absolutely outrageous amounts of money on police and policing, and we're not spending money on things that actually make people safe and feel safe, which is things like actually well-lit streets. 23:13 This could sound particularly egregious to a lot of Americans who see somebody calling to get rid of all police, get rid of all our prisons, but can't answer a question like that, Brian Kilmeade. 23:22 Yeah, I mean, that's just it. And when she said, I don't answer hypotheticals. OK, I have some stats for you that show you that rape, sadly, is not a hypothetical that has happened on a regular basis. There needs to be there. Sadly, there's crime. So there needs to be punishment. That's why when I watch these DSA officials be interviewed, whether it's Shannon Bream or in The New Yorker with I think it's David Remnick who did the interview. These people have no answers. They don't deserve they don't belong in prime time. They're a fringe group that found its way into center. They found its way into center stage. 23:52 They're on Broadway right now and they don't even belong on off Broadway. They don't have they haven't even thought through their beliefs anymore. But their beliefs will totally change the country. They make you laugh out loud if they weren't so serious. But now they have a group of another 150,000. Now they're getting their financing. I'd love to see a big investigation how they're doing it. But the bottom line is, on the subplot of this, is the crime stats are down across the country. A lot has to do with what's coming, I think, from the White House. Police matter. I got your back. 24:23 Take pride in the uniform and the recruitings up in the military, as well as the men and women in blue. 24:28 And, Harold, we know, according to the DSA platform and playbook, that if that was an illegal migrant that committed that heinous crime, raping a woman, that they they don't believe in deportations either, that that person would stay in the country. So do you think she went home and thought it through? And what do you think the answer is? You know, send a social worker and, you know, tell him it was not a good idea and send him home to his family. 24:51 I know this. We shouldn't we shouldn't nominate them to be the standard bearers in the Democratic Party. I'm against all the things that they are. No prisons, defunding the police, no ice, no border, no border lines. These are just these aren't even Democrats. I've tried to say we shouldn't even respond to this nonsense as being a part of our party. These are people who are winning elections. Right. But they're winning. They're winning. They're winning some nominations tonight. But I don't consider saying I've been a Democrat. I'm 56 years older than a Democrat all my life. I was born a Democrat. 25:21 I learned it the old fashioned way. I was told to be a Democrat by my family. Then I learned what it meant to be one. And I continue to be one. These people aren't Democrats. Let me just get to the issue of the crime. I think this is great. Regardless of your political party, you have to applaud governors and mayors who are on the front line day in and day out of appointing the right people, of funding our police forces, of training our police forces, and ensuring that our prisons are able to take prisoners. Now, we've had over the, we argued on this show, and Greg was probably the loudest and most constructive over the last two years, to make sure that we got past all this Cassius Bell nonsense. 25:53 I understood the instinct and the impulse early on, saying people committing crimes, that even if they were convicted, they wouldn't stay in jail as long as they were staying, as they were waiting for their trial. But we learned that These mayors and some judges, some governors and some DAs were just letting any and everybody out in the street. And we learned that we're such a small population, Greg, of people committing these heinous and violent crimes. We knew how to deal with this. So I give mayors and governors a lot of credit. Democrats in the country. I will say that my Democrats first. If you nominate around the country, DSA candidates who answer like that young lady did in Los Angeles, a very basic, not hostile question, but a simple, straightforward question. 26:29 What happens if my daughter is raped? Whom do I call and where will they be if they get convicted? And her answer was, I'm not going to answer a hypothetical. She's not a Democrat. I don't know what she is. I'm going to give her I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt because I'm my faith. But she should not be in elected office and we should not be nominating these people under our party banner. 26:47 Appreciate that, Harold. Emily, when you look at the crackdown on crime that's currently happening under this administration, these policies are working. In fact, they've just decided to keep the National Guard deployed in D.C. through 2029, I believe, because guess what? Crime's down. It's working. Yeah. Thank goodness. 27:03 And here's what I wanted to underscore, too. The interviewer who pushed back, because when he first asked the question. 27:09 That was in Los Angeles, right? That was right. Yes. 27:11 And Gil's answer was absolutely. And then he said, oh, which one? Which agency? Which jail? And then she fooled in and admitted that she didn't have an answer. There is a sore lack of pressing into the questions and the concepts from the mainstream media on the left. So finally, here we have an exposure of where exactly her brain is, which is that a well-lit street will save lives. No, it won't. A well-lit street did not save Sarah Gilson, who we all saw shot yesterday after she said out loud that her husband was a pedophile. 27:42 But you know what would have saved? Actually securing the restraining order that was on the books for him. It would not have helped the sweet elderly woman I sat next to at dinner who talked about getting punched in the face here in New York by a guy that put glass in his fist. So he shredded her face open. Well-lit street would not have happened. That would have been whether we commit the mentally ill in this city. It doesn't help that this month when a seven-year-old child was beaten and tortured to death by his trans parents that the mainstream media called women. The whole point is the well-lit street does not save anything. 28:15 What does help is the spokes of the criminal justice wheel actually working. We have seen the Democrats totally... 28:24 I don't know, what do you call it? Castrate the district attorneys. They are no longer DAs, right? When you start to take away the important and crucial pieces of the criminal justice wheel, then it stops working. So now they are trying to take away law enforcement. And all of them have caricaturized what law enforcement means. They think it's all Officer Krupke. The reality is that law enforcement is cold cases and missing peoples. And it's all of the intercollateral agencies like FBI tech that just saved a six month old and a 16 year old endangered children in 24 hours. 28:54 Those aren't the stories you hear about because these guys are too busy painting everything as a portrait. 29:00 I can't imagine how hurtful that non-answer was to families, to victims of crimes like rape. 29:05 It's always a left-wing chick, though. Left-wing chicks are more dangerous to women than the criminals that prey upon them because it's the left-wing chicks that let those people out, let those people roam, let them have no bail because, you know, race. Look, I want to talk about the decline in these crime stats because it is good news in the sense that we finally emerged from the post-George Floyd hell. No, thanks to the history, the hysteria directed at cops, we saw a 40 percent drop in police stops and arrests for obvious reasons. 29:37 And that led to a homicide spike of 54 percent. So now actual police has rebounded because we realized we didn't realize we knew it was necessary. But the people that hated them realized they needed them in their neighborhood. Arrests went up almost 40 percent. Homicides dropped 32 percent. 29:54 Add to that, we're replacing progressive prosecutors with tougher DAs. Where did those progressive prosecutors come from? You know where they came. So the take home is this. There was so much unnecessary, avoidable death created by a cowardly, agenda-driven media and politicians who were cowed by BLM activists. Do you want to go back to that? Because if you elect these people, you're going to have 2021 all over again. 30:26 And believe me, I'm in my early 30s. It's still the worst year that I've ever experienced on this planet. Yeah. And that includes that time I went away to camp with Kilmeade. 30:36 That's, we've never gone to camp together. That's misinformation. How dare you? 30:40 Sleeping bag. All right, coming up, the far left takes the field. And now football is getting sacked. 30:48 Hi, nice to meet you tonight. Maybe we could go dance, get up off our feet. She said life is forever once. Tennessee and Kentucky cause you ain't here to love me out. 31:06 Some people don't like country music and some do. The far left hate list just got a little longer. First, you got Thanksgiving. Now fireworks. And now factor in football. Football is not any good. Listen to the recently resurfaced comment from Michigan Senate candidate on the Democratic side, Abdul El-Sayed. 31:25 Football is very much associated with a particularly masculine and oftentimes toxically masculine culture and still enjoy watching football even if with some guilt associated with it. 31:50 Yes, why be nuanced? It was El Syed who said fireworks suck. They should be removed from the 4th of July. And he doesn't like football, the most successful league and the most successful country in the world. Emily, I know you don't agree with this. Are you shocked he's on the record saying how bad football is? 32:06 I can't stand people that don't like football. Look, here's my biggest issue with this, actually, because go ahead and everything. It's that he is now trying to defend it by saying, don't resurface cherry-picked comments that don't reflect my beliefs today. Bro, it was a couple seasons ago. And you said how you still like it. You said how you just feel that guilt. It wasn't as if he came out when he was 10 and said something stupid. He knows exactly what he has been saying this whole time. It's all calculated, just like it's calculated now to hopefully curry that governorship. And I am totally frightened for the people of Michigan. 32:38 He said he played football in high school. I assume it's true. He said, on the field, Sandra, I felt free. But in the locker room, he found everyone to be very mean to him because of his religion and skin color. 32:49 captain of a high school football team. So this is a sport he really participated in. Look, I think with football, we all have to acknowledge it's a choice. If you want to take on the head drama, you play football. People love it. And it can be really good for kids. I think we're at a moment with these Dem candidates where we have to decide, are you allowed to say... 33:09 Those things I said, you know, a couple months ago, in the case of Hong, a couple days ago, Thanksgiving, a couple years ago, no longer represent my beliefs. Is that fair? 33:19 He doesn't say he likes football. You know what he says, Harold? He said, I had a bad coach in football. 33:25 I have his campaign manager said he was a captain. 33:28 Right. So, Harold, he does go on to say that he likes soccer and which he likes soccer. Why can't he have a coach more like Ted Lasso? Because he learned a lot from Ted Lasso. One's a comedy and one's in real life. 33:42 You're a witness. So, Sandra, if Sandra's facts are right, and I believe they are, you can't be the captain of the team, be elected by your teammates. And then they show all it's just it begs the question that maybe something's not there. My advice to all these candidates, instead of talking about Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving, and football and fireworks over the next 80 to 90 days. Talk about health care. Talk about how AI is going to impact jobs and what you're going to do. No, we want to know. Does he like football? Does he like fireworks? Is he going to ban it? The worst. Is he going to ban the Lions? I am for football. I like football. 34:13 Always have and will continue to. And fireworks. But if you have these views, talk about health care. Talk about what you can do to make people's lives better. Go Blue. 34:26 He's Muslim, right? Heard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So in football, men are covered from head to toe in protective gear. Yes. 34:34 In Islam, women are also covered from head to toe to protect themselves from the gaze of Muslim men. 34:42 So where is the misogyny and the toxic masculinity? I'm still waiting for the moderate Muslim to show up and talk about that. Very simple question for reporters to ask questions. 34:52 Muslim leaders that they never, ever ask, do you believe Islam is compatible with the West? 35:00 Can you honestly answer that question without caveats or bringing up the phrase Islamophobia? And as I've said before, everyone makes fun of Christianity, but there's no Christian, Christianophobia. There is no word for that. I can't even pronounce it. Just simply ask, do you believe Islam is compatible with the West? Right. Then watch how they answer. 35:22 All right. That's something to think about in the break. And, you know, speaking of a break, that's what's coming up. One gas station wants you to shake your gas. 35:49 So the question is, what would you do for a discount? A New York gas station is offering a 20% off to customers who bust the move. 35:58 Uh, Emily, would you be willing to? Oh, she was. In a second, you were. For a 10% discount on this. That was 20%. 36:05 Yeah, 100%. I love this so much. I love all the videos. And I think the only weird part is, like, performing specifically for the sales clerk. I love the ones, all the videos of people coming in the door dancing. It's fantastic. I love it. Yes. I would do it, but I just don't want the video on me. 36:21 This guy, there's no way this guy would be video. So you would do it? 36:27 You understand why people are doing it. 36:29 I would bust a move. I don't know. It's like $100 to film at $20? 36:33 Totally. 36:34 It does show you that there is a price for every behavior and everyone is for sale. Like, okay, 20% for dancing. Take off the shirt. 40%? What do you get for 80%? 36:48 Keep it on. 36:49 You know what I mean? Take it off, lady. It's an escalation ladder. You're not playing that game. 36:52 Yeah, yeah. No, I'm just saying, it's like, where is this going to lead? Obviously, this is going to turn into a gas station strip club. Right. And I am there. 36:59 It's at the Sunoco and Half Moon Car Wash. Oh my gosh, look at this lady. I mean, it just shows I think people want to have fun. I think it shows America's got a got a sense of let's have some fun. You know, I think most of these people can afford the gas. They just wanted to bust a move. But unfortunately, I need to have footprints on the ground. I need a definite choreographer. I can't ad lib a dance. 37:23 You cannot have a little dance? Well, I'm surprised that you can't dance. Are you? 37:26 I'm just a little worried. I'm just a little worried what the gas station's margins are, Harold. I know. If they can take 20 percent off. If they're able to save this. 37:34 The president says the big companies are gouging. This is an example. 37:38 Well, these are retail. 37:39 The rainfall tax. One more thing is up next. 37:55 It's time now for one more thing. Greg. 37:57 We got a great show tonight. Charles Payne, Jim Norton, Carolyn Sunshine, Lydia Monaghan. That's tonight at 10. And now it's time for Greg Spider Monkey News. 38:11 Oh, my God. 38:14 Roll it. Three rescued spider monkeys, Miso, Matcha, and May, found safe in their Nashville Zoo. There was a lot of anxious hugging because, you know, they were scared for a while, but now they're together. Do you know that female spider monkey, Sandra, have large dangling pseudo penises? It confuses vets and researchers. Meanwhile, males lack a penis bone entirely. And rather, it said scratch and sniff to check if a female is waiting for me. 38:45 Is any of this true? 38:46 What show am I on? 38:47 I'm going HR immediately. 38:49 And that is Spider Monkey News. On a lighter note, today in 1929, Babe Ruth became the first player in midweek baseball to hit 500 home runs and a 6-5 loss to the Indians. To put it in perspective, Babe Ruth hit 500 home runs, and it took him 5,800 at-bats. Ken Griffey Jr., one of my favorites, he hit his 500 home runs. It took him 7,300 at-bats. And the great Hank Aaron, maybe the greatest hitter of all time, it took him 8,500 at-bats. 39:17 So I guess we go it all to debate. 39:18 Love that. Thank you for that. 39:20 Brian. On a separate note, United States comes out. This is all Greg is talking about. My book comes out in October, and I'm going to be on tour and streamed on Fox Nation in Red Bank, New Jersey, followed by Westbury, then over to Clearwater, Jacksonville, and St. Louis, BrianKilme.com. Now, what do people care about? Soccer. Just ask El Saeed. And that is why when Gerald Ford welcomed Pele into the White House because he was playing with the Cosmos and had a chance to juggle the soccer ball with Gerald Ford, that was pretty amazing because he played the Washington Diplomats. Pele has passed away, but he's a great guy, was a great player. 39:52 Indeed. You know who else passed away? Everyone brace yourselves. Jackie the Eagle. RIP. We love you, Jackie. We love you. 40:01 That's it for us. Have a great night.
