Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from wr from.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Everywhere, USA. It's Fox Across America with Jimmy Falo. Well, well,
well will you look who made it back to work.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Jim you got to get off the damn couch.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
We are off the couch. We are on the air.
It is Fox Across America with Jimmy Faylo. Reachable to
you the listener at eight at eight seven eight, eight,
nine to nine one zero. As we triumphantly return from
the holiday weekend with no promises that we have sobered
up yet from all the barbecue, in fact, drunk and stupid,
there's no way to go through life. Well, well, it's
exactly how we went through the weekend that I don't
(00:36):
doubt some of that debauchery will spill into the next
three hours because we are returning to a very crowded
dance card on the schedule. The President speaking in the
White House today at two pm about a space initiative.
There's a back and forth going on over the violence
in Chicago. Sadly another record breaking holiday weekend for them
and not the good kind. We're going to discuss that
(00:57):
with Lydiam Monahan. We're also going to be chatting with
Marcus Lamonis. You might recognize him as the executive chairman
of Bed Bath and Beyond. He's got a new series
called The Fixer. It premieres tonight on FBN. Marcus is
in the news why because he left California because of
Gavin Newsom. This guy's a serious ass. No, we didn't
(01:18):
say it was him personally, and he has something against
hair Gel. He just wrote a statement saying that for
all intents and purposes, California is just way too anti
business and it's no longer feasible to open a brick
and mortar store under the threat of so much regulation
and high taxes and everything in between. So imagine that's
(01:39):
who Gavin Newsom is as we get under weigh on
a Tuesday. He's a guy who is such an ass wipe.
He lost the one company that sells ass wipes. Not good.
But we'll get into all of that and so much more.
Eight and eight, seven and eight nine nine one zero.
You know the rules. You're all welcome, regardless of your
political ideology. Be a Republican, be a Democrat. Don't be
(02:00):
a happy Tuesday. I do hope you had a fine weekend.
If you were at the Oasis concert Sunday night at
the Meadowlands and got a chance to say hello, thank you.
I remember nothing about our conversation. We had a great time.
It was awesome. Those boys sang their hearts out for
three hours. And uh, you know, if you haven't, if
(02:21):
you haven't effectively gone off the grid in a while,
which is what I was able to do this weekend.
We hosted a Saturday night TV show. Hooray. Jenny was there,
Lincoln was there, with a lot of fun. I mean
I had to carry it. You know. The family wasn't
really that strong. Cut your mouth, my kid. That was
probably Lincoln's best TV segment he's ever done. It was
really great Saturday night doing playground politics, and the one
(02:42):
subject we didn't have time to get to was Chicago.
We did Travis Kelcey. We did zoron Mom Donnie and
his you know, you remember the zoron Mom Donnie bench
press video that had gone viral that is so embarrassing. Well,
Mom Donnie not quite in office yet. Obviously the electoral
can do are good for him here in New York.
(03:02):
But it's the kind of thing that really does bother
you as someone who cares about life, just life. Okay.
I really think that's the only thing I ever bring
to the table on this show or any show. Is
I always say I'm like a dog with a job.
I'm happy to be here. You know, when you go
to the airport and the dog sniff and luggage is
in such a great mood. He's always got his smile
(03:24):
on his face and his tail is wagon because he
can't believe they're counting on him to save the plane. Okay,
that's pretty much my contribution to media. Every time I
show up onto a set, I can't believe anybody's counting
on me. I'm always in a great mood, dog with
a job. As long as nobody throws a tennis ball,
we're gonna have a fabulous three hours. But the point
is I feel that way because I am by trade.
(03:46):
I was raised at a pretty upbeat environment, a lot
of fun loving people. They told a lot of jokes,
the ate a little bit too much, as the camera
can attest. But the point is we were good time people.
And when I watch the beginnings of is Mom Donnie
Mayorial win, Okay, what I quickly start to see is Chicago, Baltimore,
(04:09):
you know, to maybe a lesser extent DC now that
Trump's got it under control. But what I see is
just lawlessness because it's another dirt bag who holds the
criminals in higher regard than the law abiding citizens. That's
what's going on in Chicago right now. Okay, let me
give you the stats of Chicago over the weekend. Is
somebody who just cares about people? What do I say
(04:31):
every day in the show? I say, hey, be a Republican,
be a Democrat, just don't be a jerk. You know,
it's all we need in the world. We live in America,
we're doing okay for ourselves. Okay, if people behave and
you know, you don't act like a bunch of we
got a shot in this country. Okay, But lo and behold,
there are so many people who don't value life that way,
(04:51):
and that one gets to me. I don't have that yet.
Maybe I'll get there someday. Maybe you can work in
media and just oh, everybody's dead. Whatever, what are we
doing on the B block there? Okay, maybe I'll get
there someday. But it's exactly where these people are. Okay,
when I play you the stats in Chicago, here is
MSNBC giving you the stats and I will give you
(05:12):
the response from there. But when you listen to this,
every one of these numbers is a life that impacts
so many other lives around them that are all touched
by this violence that's just been tolerated. It's like, wow,
this is the cost of doing business in these cities.
But it's not. That's the point. They just never cared
(05:33):
about them before. Trump is forcing the hand of a
lot of high profile Democrats that are guilty of exactly
what Charles Barkley said during the last election. They only
care about black people every four years.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
The reason I think the Democratic Party, mister Biden, President
Biden is losing black vosays they only care about black
people every four years. They come into our neighborhoods and
say we're gonna make stuff better.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
We're gonna do.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
This, do this, do this, and then following us black
people are like hell man, other than nobility at dunk
of basketball. All my neighborshoods are still the same, our
schools are still the same.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
And think about that. That's Charles Barkley telling you the truth.
Democrats only care about black voters every four years. Okay,
here's MSNBSA. Okay, and I'm gonna read you the stats here.
This is heartbreaking stuff to me. Man, gross okay, And
how you can hear these types of numbers and know
(06:37):
that these are routine numbers. Okay. Chicago sees violence like
this on just about every holiday weekend of the year,
and there has been no effort to get it under control.
The Democrats would tell you, oh, black lives matter, guys.
If black lives mattered, okay, they'd have successful schools. The
Democrats wouldn't be in the way of school choice. At
the very least, they're putting a lot more pressure on
(06:59):
the public schools to make sure people can read. Do
you know there were only there are thirty districts, thirty
school districts where not a single child is proficient in reading.
I love the poorly ead Illinois has thirty school districts
where not a single kid can read?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
How is that?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Accept of course, is not acceptable? And they're predominantly black,
But the Democrats don't care about that. They'd call you
a racist for pointing it out. Hey, just because they
can't read? Why is they got to say that about
the predominantly black schools because the teachers are failing them?
That's why he gotta say it. But here it is.
Here's MSNBSA talking about the violence of Chicago clip fourteen.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
In Chicago over the weekend, at least fifty four people
were shot.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
This is just over Labor Day weekend.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Seven killed. Several of the incidents were mass shootings, with
multiple victims at a single scene, and one instance, a
teenage girl was hit with a stray bullet. The violence
comes as President Trump threatens to send federal agents and
National Guard troops too to quell the crime there, despite
objections from the city's mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor JB.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Pritzker. Unfortunately, Joe, this is not unusual in Chicago, which.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Has been plagued by gun violence for generations, not years,
for generations.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Fifty four people shot this weekend in Chicago, seven killed,
I mean, and.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Those numbers just keep piling up, and over ninety five
percent of those people are black. Are the Democrats doing
anything to stop that violence?
Speaker 7 (08:34):
Guys?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
This has been going on for about forty five to
fifty years in Chicago. Weekend week out, people just get killed.
And if you point it out and you say, well,
it's you know, black people killing other black people. That's
not good. The Democrats go, what kind of a racist
would point out a black person is killing, said, well,
the kind of racist who cares about the black person
who's dying. That's the point. The Democrats make this about race,
(08:59):
but the process get members of that protected race killed. Okay,
when you tell me there's not an issue. Here's JB. Pritzker,
the guy who was the governor of the state where
it is the norm for fifty people to get shot
in a weekend. It's just normal, just part of life
in Illinois. Okay. Here he is saying, Wow, Trump's actually
send it in the troops because he's trying to steal
the midterms. That's what this is about. Listen to this
(09:22):
with a straight face. Clip three.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
This is a part of his plan to do something
really nefarious, which is to interfere with elections in twenty
twenty six. He wants to have troops on the ground
to stop people from voting, to intimidate people from.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Going to the voting booths. So take notes. That is
what this is all about.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
There's a slop. There's a real slop.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
So imagine that. Okay, fifty four people shot, seven killed,
girl hit with a stray bullet. JB. Pritzker's response is
he's trying to steal the midterms. No, that's what it's
really about. Guy's trying to steal the midterms. What a loser. Okay,
but here's more, Pritzker saying there's no emergency in Chicago, which, again,
(10:07):
if fifty four people get shot, seven people get killed,
I consider that bad. I want to believe that you
do too. The idea that anyone could get in front
of the news camera. Guys, it's fine, shut up. What
is he doing? Steal in the midterms? Who let Hitler
into the room? That's not an adult response to fifty
four people getting shot, And that's the message here. Like
I'm coming back from a holiday weekend. I feel great, Okay,
(10:30):
but I feel great because, like I value human life.
I value my own and that of those around me.
And the idea that people can get on TV and
their self interest is worth so much more to them
than the prosperity of these strangers that are getting gunned down.
It's just gross to me. It makes me think I
could never make it in politics. Okay, that in the
background check, I mean, the background check is gonna end
(10:51):
my political career in like a half hour. That's why
it's not going to start. But the point is, I
can't imagine just being this completely devoid from empathy for anyone.
Here's JB. Pritzker again. He is speaking to face the
nation at the end of a weekend where fifty four
people have been shot, and he's like, no, there's no
(11:12):
there's no emergency here. It is Clip five.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
We hope that they don't send any troops along with ice,
and if they do, they'll be in court pretty quickly
because that is illegal. Passe comatatis does not allow US
troops into US cities to do, you know, to fight crime,
to be involved in law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
That's not their job. If they're doing federal immigration work,
a judge might say, if they're protecting those federal agents,
that's okay. I mean, you'll just fight that in quart
as long as you can.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Well.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
National Guard troops, any kind of troops on the streets
of an American city don't belong unless there is an insurrection,
unless there is truly an emergency, there.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Is no Oh god, JB. Pritzker, don't call him a
fat pig. I did not call him a fat pig. Sir,
please do not call him the fat pig Trump. But
he says there's no emergency. Okay, here's Christy on me,
your DHS secretary. Chicago has had more murders than any
(12:20):
other American city for thirteen years in a row. How
is that acceptable?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
In what world?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Can you tell me? You're a Democrat party that cares
about Black Americans and let one city lead the league
in murders thirteen straight years, and when someone points it out,
tell us there's no emergency. Tell those troops to go home.
Do you know why the FEDS should go home? Okay,
for real, if the Feds, if the National Guard shows
up to Chicago right now, they're probably out gunned by
(12:51):
the locals. That's true. That here is kirstin No Clip six.
Speaker 9 (12:57):
For thirteen consecutive years, Chicago go had more murders than
any other American city. In fact, just last year in
twenty twenty four, they had three times the amount of
murders that LA did, five times more than New York City.
So he can talk about what a great job he's
doing as governor, but he's failing those families who will
no longer have their child with them, their mother or
(13:17):
their father or their cousin, aunt and uncle that are
gone forever because of the violence that's happening in Chicago's.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Thirteen years in a row. And JB. Pritzker says, Nah,
it's no emergency. Something about Hitler, I don't know. I
studied history. This is what Hitler did. I don't know
what you guys know about Hitler. But he really wasn't
big of getting the murder rate under control. Was really
wasn't really a thing what Hitler was doing, wasn't negotiating
(13:46):
peace deals with multiple countries. That wasn't really the Hitler homemark.
I gotta be honest. I don't know that Hitler got
half the awards from the Jewish community that Trump did.
Maybe dare I say a quarter of the awards that
Trump has gotten. And I'm going to go out on
a limb and say Hitler didn't have a daughter commit
to Judaism either, convert? But JD. Pritzker, with a straight face,
(14:07):
here it is clip four. Is it your belief he's
an authoritarian? Look, I can tell you this. I built
a Holocaust museum.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
I know what the history was of a constitutional republic
being overturned.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
After an election in fifty three days, and I'm very,
very concerned.
Speaker 8 (14:29):
We could talk about lots of authoritarian regimes in the world,
but that just happens to be the one that I know.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
And I can tell you that the playbook is the same.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
It's for the media, it's create mayhem that requires military interdiction.
These are things that happen throughout history, and Donald Trump
is just following that playbook.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
JB. Pritzker garbage like you just makes me sick. Okay,
And that's what you're finding out in this moment. Okay, Trump,
for whatever you think of the guy values human life.
He is up against a unique generation of politicians who
don't when you reduce fifty five people shot in the
(15:20):
weekend to some type of Nazi analogy because you think
it'll go over well on NBC. Okay, the only thing
you've proven to anybody, it's just you're not fit to
be in office. I mean, we already knew JB. Pritzker
wasn't fit to be in his clothes, but now office
is going to need a pair of spanks just the same.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
And I'm mad here in the real world not know
what's right or wrong or bullshit. It's Jimmy Phailah.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
He's been America's most favored comedian at a time when
America was in a most bewildered state of mind.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
It's Fox across America.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
This is Fox across America with Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Just an absolute stampede of stupid out in Chicago. It's
Fox across America with Jimmy fla a man who values
human life. I don't know that they do. In the
Mayor's office of Chicago, here is Brandon Johnson yelling about
no federal troops Clip eight.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
No federal troops in the city of Chicago, no militarized
force in the city of Chicago. We're gonna defend our
democracy in the city of Chicago. We're gonna protect the
humanity of every single person in the city of Chicago.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Oh you tell them, thank you for the education, gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
We've just received a PhD in stupidity. Brandon Johnson. Fifty
four people are shot in the city this weekend, fifty
four people. Is he out there protesting on behalf of
the shot people. No, he's out there telling you we
can't send in the troops to clean this up. I mean, well,
it's an idiot that's the rally. The rally is, don't
(16:59):
send in the Feds. We don't need the help. Time
was you canna have fifty four people get shot, seven
people get killed. It's just a holiday weekend. Nobody really
got up in your business, you know what I'm saying,
Brandon Johnson? Is it fourteen percent in the polls right now?
Fourteen percent? I don't know that there's a lower recorded number.
Half of the Chicago politicians that preceded this guy are
(17:22):
making license plates in prison somewhere, and I don't know
that any of them fell below fourteen percent in the polls.
But if you ever wanted the blueprint as to how
you'd get there as a politician, it's go out watch
your citizens die in record numbers, and then try to
convince people that the president trying to clean it up
(17:42):
is the real problem here. I mean, oh, crazy, someplace else.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
We're all sucked up here.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
That's what's happening in the Democrat Party. They're all trying
to fail upward by picking a fight with Trump. Like
that's where we are. So Brandon Johnson's like, oh, yell
at Trump and JB. Pritz Just like, no, I'm yelling
at Trump, but then Newsom's like, hey, god fair, I'm
tweeting is Trump? And then mom Donnie comes in and
he's like, but I was cursing at Trump. How about
you guys actually just start governing like him instead, you idiots.
(18:10):
September the second, we're in the stretch run. If you're
a Yankee fan like me, we got a big swing
coming up. Twelve games against winning teams, the Astros, the
Blue Jay, It is all going down. So we'll be
watching that doing some TV along the way. We're in
the process of putting Fox New Saturday Night together this weekend,
and of course we're getting back out on the road
in November. If you want to see me live, go
(18:31):
to Foxacross America dot com. Fox across America dot Com
tickets to all the live dates. If you want to
come to the New York City show and watch Fox
New Saturday Night, those tickets are free. Just the same again,
Foxacross America dot Com. But right now, it's not about
my comedy show or my TV show. It is you
and me doing the damn thing on the radio, and
we're gonna do so. As the late great Rush Limbaugh
(18:55):
would bill it, with a random active journalism. You know,
from time to time, El Rushbo if you remember him,
used to highlight what he would call, you know, some
intellectually intellectual curiosity shown out of a member of the
mainstream media, or you know, he'd call him the drive
by press. From time to time, they they'd raise an
(19:16):
issue or ask a tough question and he'd highlight it
to be like, wow, you don't really see that. And
at the time, I was a cab driver listening to
Russian and I thought it was shtick. I was like, oh,
it's just like stick. I get it. He's going to
call it a random act of journalism, as if nobody
on the left ever actually does any journalism, as the
kids like to say online. But until I started working
(19:38):
in media, I had no idea, like how precient this
all was. There is nobody, there is really nobody on
the left that is engaging in real journalism anymore. Well,
I don't read the newspapers because it's garbage in the
editor they let it come out storbyge and I don't
know what this would even qualify as. But Joe Scarborough,
(20:02):
for the second time in three weeks, has taken issue
with something going on in the Democrat Party, and I
want to commend it. Okay, I have made a living
making fun of Joe Scarborough. But I'm not doing it
because he's a liberal who happens the work at MSNBC.
I'm doing it because he's taken a lot of laughable
positions over the years. Okay, we all remember Joe Scarborough
(20:26):
telling us on the eve of a presidential debate that
ended with Joe Biden being ripped off the ticket. We
remember Joe Scarborough telling us this was the sharpest Joe
Biden had ever been.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
Start your tape right now, because I'm about to tell
you the truth, and that few if you can't handle
the truth. This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically is the
best Biden ever, not a closed second.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
And I've known him for years.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
The presentsks of known him for fifty years weren't the truth.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I wouldn't say it. So that's Joe Scarborough saying, this guy,
I'm about to play you, who spoke at the debate
later that evening was the sharpest Biden ever.
Speaker 10 (21:10):
Making sure that we're able to make every single solitary
person eligible for what I've been able to do with
the the COVID with dealing with everything we have to
do with Look if we finally beat medicare.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Thank you, President Biden, President Trump.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of this, and I don't think he knows what he
said either.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Okay, you understand, Joe Scarborough told us that was the
sharpest Joe Biden ever.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Josh the bit outside.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
He tried the corner in this, so you understand. I'm
not a Joe Scarborough fan. Okay, I've played the clips
on here of the Hunter Biden laptop story where he
told us we were useful rubes for the Russians. Meanwhile,
the whole Biden family has been pardoned over what went
on on that laptop. AOC is a dope. I don't
(22:08):
know what she had to do with it. But Biden,
are you the big man?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Joe?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
He was there just the same. But understand this, Okay,
when I give you a point from Joe Scarborough, like
two weeks ago, he said, the Democrats are trying to
reinvent themselves. It's very embarrassing. Has anyone seen Gavin Newsom's
Twitter account? It's really embarrassing. I gave him credit on
Fox News Saturday night. I did a chunk of time
(22:34):
on the idea that Joe Scarborough was calling out a
Democrat and I commend him for doing so because his
core has not changed. Joe Scarborough runs on a moral
superiority that most mere mortals do not possess, and is convinced,
yes that he knows better than anyone who's ever sat
in front of a camera and gotten the hour of
(22:55):
hair and makeup that he does. Okay, but understand this.
He wants a bubble else for the Democrat Party to
win elections. He wants them to be in power because
he thinks people like you and me don't know any better.
He thinks the middle of the country is flyover country
and you're a bunch of dirt bags and what are
you going to walmartin? Cracker Borrough who wants to hear
from you? You're probably a racist to go screw, And
(23:17):
that's kind of who he appeals to when he does
his show. It's very rare to see him call out
the Democrat Party, if only because doing so might hurt
their appeal. And that's the higher calling for Joe Scarborough.
He's not in the air trying to do like a
good TV show. You know, he's not on the air
hoping it's funny or anything specific. He's just on the
(23:37):
air hoping that when the hour's over, you're more likely
to vote Democrat than you were at the beginning of
the hour. That's who he is like. That is straight up.
He is the most watched show inside the DC Beltway.
So you understand he goes on the air every morning
knowing that the Democrat Party leaders are watching his show.
That's why he was willing to bag Dad Bob, the
(23:59):
whole old Biden thing for four years and tell you
Joe Biden was sharp as attack, regardless of what kind
of evidence we saw on the contrary out of Joe Biden.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
I am.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
I am very willing to let the American public judge
my physical mental filth.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
My physical as well as my mental filth. Fitness not
the best. But understand when Joe Scarborough goes on TV
and talks about the crime issue, okay, which he did
again today, he talked about JB. Pritzker needing to call
up Trump and possibly even work with him. Yes, he's
trying to help the Democrat Party because he knows crime
is a losing issue for them. Black Americans want help
(24:38):
in their communities, and the idea that some elite white
liberals can tell them you don't deserve extra cops. Shut up.
I want to make a Hitler analogy here, So no
cops for you. Chicago went twelve days in a row
without a murder. Do you know when the last time
that happened was never? I mean, I mean d s DC.
When twelve days without a murder, They've never had that ever, Okay,
(25:01):
so there's no way it wasn't a good thing. Chicago conversely,
had seven people murdered over the weekend. Fifty four people
shot one weekend, Okay, and they'd have you believe that
working with Trump would be the devil. You know, we've
been calling the guy Hitler so much. How the hell
do we take Hitler's help here? What do you mean?
We've just got to lean in further. And so when
Joe Scarborough raises this point, I know he's doing so
(25:24):
to help Democrats. He's not necessarily doing it because he
cares about those communities, but the fact that it's being
said is significant because he does have influence in their party.
And you do hope that some common sense people get
into a position of power in the Democrat Party. Like
I vote Republican, but I root for the Democrat Party.
(25:45):
I don't mean I root for them to win. I
don't root for them to reconfigure the country in their
image like they're trying to. But I root for them
to get it. Okay, the Democrats as a party. Did
anybody see Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom? Okay,
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is the one
where they put some type of spell on him and
(26:07):
he's now angry at Short Round you know, hang on, lady,
we go for a ride, remember Short Round and the
coal Mine Chase and all that jazz. Well, anyway, they're
at some weird Satanic uh ritual in like Bangkok where
they're ripping people's hearts out alive and eating them. This
could be a problem, not ideal. I don't even think
(26:30):
they're keto. So it's just just an all around loss.
There's not even an upside to any part of this ceremony.
But anyway, Indiana Jones has been like put under this
spell where he's actually like one of the bad guys.
Now he's like a walking zombie and he doesn't get
the primal needs of the people around him. And if
you remember in the movie, short Round has to like
(26:50):
burn him with a torch to like get him to
like wake up and snap and realize he's Indiana Jones
and punch somebody in the face and du dunt yeah
that whole thing and they start fighting and all the
jazz and he becomes Indiana Jones again. Well, I am
rooting for that Democrat. Wake up, burn. I don't know
how it comes. I'm not advocating for violence, shut up, okay,
(27:13):
But the point is I want their party, at the
very least to wake up and start acknowledging that some
of our primal issues aren't political. Okay, violent crime is
not political. Chicago had fifty four people shot this weekend,
at no point where they asked who they voted for.
They just got shot. Seven people died. That's horrific, and
(27:36):
all seven of them died without the shooter knowing who
they think is going to win in the mid terms.
Because that's not what crime is about. It's not a
Republica or Democrat. It's just a right or wrong, not
a right or left. It's a right or wrong. So
here is Joe Scarborough, to his credit, acknowledging that the
crime issue for Democrats is a loser if they don't
(27:58):
get on board with lowering, Like, in what world do
you go, Na, No, We're the party that fought the
crime crack down. Think about that. How many times have
I told you this line? On the show Growing Up?
We all played cops and robbers. We played two games,
Cops and robbers, Cowboys and Elizabeth Lawrence. I've said it
a million times. Okay, cops and robbers. The baseline was,
(28:19):
we all knew the cops were the good guys. The
robbers were the bad guys. In the modern Democrat parlance,
they don't have the same reverence for the cops anymore,
and they want you to believe there's more value, there's
more connective tissue with the voters if you stand up
for the robbers. But no one in their right mind
ever felt that way. Yes, in the summer of twenty twenty,
(28:42):
when they were lighting police stations on fire and creating
pretend countries in Seattle. You're listening on KTCH, I'm sure
you were down to Chaz or chop or whatever the
hell they were calling it. But the point is those
people did not represent the views of all America. All
America did not watch the George Floyd video and go,
you know what, no more cops ah from now on,
(29:06):
when there's a crime, something violent happens, I'm gonna watch
a diy video on YouTube. I'm gonna fight crime myself.
We didn't say that as a country. Nobody did, but
it was a tyranny of the minority, and it was
getting a lot of altitude on social media because they
were jazzing up the algorithms to make that stuff play. Obviously,
you're watching a hell of a whole lot of it
on the news, and to some people, they bought into
(29:30):
the reality that the cops were a bigger threat to
the community than the criminals they were trying to protect
us against. Not even close. I know that, you know that,
but there's a lot of these younger generation Democrats that
don't know that. Zoraan mam Donnie wants to defund the police.
Now he doesn't tweet what he used to tweet in
(29:51):
twenty twenty, which is, we don't need an investigation to
tell us the police are racist and anti queer. What
we need to do is defund the police. He can't
say at that on the knows anymore. But he is
born out of that summer's attitude towards policing, as are
the AOC people in the squad, people in the America
hating Rashida to leave, crowds that hate this country. Okay,
(30:13):
they do not have a majority of support, thank god.
But the point is for this country to ever get
back to a place where there's some modicum of stability
in our cities, all we have to do is adhere
to the most basic tenet of playing in your backyard.
Cops and robbers. Cops good, robbers bad. Okay, if you
(30:37):
know that as a five year old, you've got to
know that as a twenty year old, a thirty year old,
a fifty year old. To Joe Scarborough's credit, at the
very least, he's at least acknowledging this reality Clip twelve.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
We've been reading about this for years now every weekend,
and maybe crime has gone down, but you know, we
have the mayor of Chicago on last week saying, oh,
we don't need any more police officers. Police office aren't
the answer. No police officers, And you know I think
he said no five times. You look, what's happening this weekend.
He look, you know, I actually think that JB. Printzker
should do something radical. I think you should pick up
(31:13):
the phone, call the president and say, you know, and
I know, you don't have the constitutional authority to deploy
the National Guard here and to police my my.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
You can do that in DC, you can't do that
in Chicago. But let's partner up. Okay. So that's him
saying to JB. Pritzker, let's partner up. Here's the rest
of it, Clip thirteen.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
These are the most dangerous parts of my state. We
would love to figure out how to have a partnership
that's constitutional, that respects the sort of balance of federalism
between the federal government and the state government.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
And let's work together to save lives.
Speaker 6 (31:51):
Because right now, just hey, nothing to see here, moving along,
no problem here, Hey, Donald Trump, we don't need you.
And you know the mayor talking about we're going to
protect people's dignity in our city.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
We'll protect their lives. That's protecting their dignity. Amen. And
I give him a lot of cry for that. I'm
not a big Joe Scarborough fan. I've met him in
parties and he's got just an awful energy. Have you
ever been in a room with somebody and you haven't
talked to them, you haven't looked them in the eye,
but you can feel them from twenty feet away because
they just have like a negative atmospheric thing. It's kind
(32:26):
of like that Peanuts pig pen. Do you remember the
pig pen and peanuts? He walked around with a cloud
of dirt following them everywhere. Some people have that emotional
vibe just the same. And I say that because I
want to understand I do. I'm not a big Joe
Scarborough fan, but I'm capable of calling balls and strikes
on an issue, especially an issue as pertinent to all
(32:46):
of us is crime, because people are actually dying. And
what's happening in the Democrat Party is they've cartooned Trump
in such a horrific way, something that's completely untethered to
the truth in every sense of the word, that they
you don't know how to justify working with him. But
the larger problem than telling your part your constituents that
you're now allies with Hitler is the fact that they
(33:09):
need to admit to failure in order for it to happen. Okay,
you can't tell me you've been a successful governor if
the National Guard is coming in to clean up your state.
You know, you can't tell me there's no crisis if
the National Guard shows up to clean up your state.
So that's the problem with a guy like JB. Pritzker,
into a lesser extent Brandon Johnson, is these guys have
(33:33):
been historically incompetent in their leadership positions, and now they
want bigger ones. That's what's going on right now. Guys
who have an appetite to hold national office someday realize
the only way to get there is to become a
national name. If the President of the United States is
(33:53):
doing something and you are the face of the resistance
to it, by default you become a national name. But
that doesn't necessarily mean a good one. You don't understand. Okay,
I was on live TV for two hours this morning. Okay,
if I got caught in the fitting room, shack it
up with a goat. I don't know that being a
(34:14):
household name is a good thing. What the hell did
you you say? I know it was a weird reference,
but take it from a former New York City cab driver.
Sometimes you don't want to walk into that locker room
too early. He's the host. You shouldn't get too close
to a lot of things about me. You don't know
anything about that. Things you wouldn't understand.
Speaker 7 (34:36):
Things he couldn't understand, things you shouldn't understand.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
There it is box across America with Jimmy Fallo. We
got Lydia Moynahan coming up. We've got the chief executive
officer of ben Beth and beyond. Marcus Lamoni is gonna
join us as well because he's fleeing California. Nobody wants
to be in California under Gavin Newsom. Why Because they've
got the highest tax rate in a America, they've got
(35:02):
the most regulation in America, and they've got the least
nimble government to show for it. Eighteen thousand homes got
burnt down on Gavin Newsom's watch. Do you now many
have been rebuilt so far? Zero? Okay? Zero? Direct Mundo,
that's unacceptable. But Gavin Newsom, like a lot of Democrats,
(35:23):
is like I've got it. I'll get mad at Trump
and people will like me because they get mad at Trump,
and then I'll be popular and I can run for office.
The biggest problem we have right now in this country
is everybody wants to run it, Nobody wants to care
about it, nobody wants to provide for it. You know,
the one very unique thing about Donald Trump's presidency, I
don't care how much you hate him, is he's trying
(35:45):
to do it. He's trying to succeed and improve the
quality of life. And I'm gonna play with clip in
the next hour that comes from a rare corner of
the universe in terms of praising Donald Trump. And I
don't think anyone in Hollywood is ready for this. So
if you want to watch a stage one hissy fit,
(36:07):
stick around, it's about to get nuts.
