Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla 9/2/25

Episode Transcript

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.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
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 3 (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.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
Fact, drunk and stupid, there's no way to go through life.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Well, well, it's exactly how we went through the weekend
that I don't 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

(00:54):
weekend for them and not the good kind. We're going
to discuss that 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

(01:14):
because of Gavin Newsom.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
This guy's a serious ass.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
No, we didn't 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.

(01:38):
So imagine that's 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,

(01:58):
be a Democrat. Don't be 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,

(02:19):
you know, if you haven't, if 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 subject we didn't

(02:43):
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. But it's the

(03:03):
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 on his face

(03:24):
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

(03:44):
feel that way because I am by trade. 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, you know,

(04:09):
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 every day

(04:31):
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,
and that one gets to me. I don't have that yet.

(04:54):
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
the response from there. But when you listen to this,

(05:15):
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
about them before. Trump is forcing the hand of a

(05:37):
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 5 (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 6 (06:02):
We're gonna do.

Speaker 5 (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 3 (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 7 (07:18):
How is that?

Speaker 3 (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 8 (07:39):
In Chicago over the weekend, at least fifty four people
were shot.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
This is just over Labor Day weekend. Seven killed.

Speaker 8 (07:47):
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 4 (08:06):
Pritzker. Unfortunately, Joe, this is not unusual in Chicago, which.

Speaker 8 (08:10):
Has been plagued by gun violence for generations, not years,
for generations.

Speaker 9 (08:14):
Fifty four people shot this weekend in Chicago, seven killed,
I mean, and.

Speaker 3 (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 10 (08:34):
Guys?

Speaker 3 (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.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Here's JB.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
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 with a straight face. Clip three.

Speaker 7 (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 6 (09:36):
Going to the voting booths.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
So take notes.

Speaker 6 (09:39):
That is what this is all about.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
There's a slop.

Speaker 6 (09:42):
There's a real slop.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
So imagine that. Okay, fifty four people shot, seven killed,
girl hit with a stray bullet.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
JB.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
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, if fifty four people
get shot, seven people get killed, I consider that bad.

(10:11):
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, but I feel great because,
like I value human life. I value my own and

(10:34):
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 my political career in like a half hour.
That's why it's not going to start. But the point is,

(10:55):
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 there's no emergency here. It is Clip five.

Speaker 11 (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 6 (11:36):
That's not their job.

Speaker 7 (11:37):
If they're doing federal immigration work, a judge might say,
if they're protecting those federal agents, that's okay.

Speaker 6 (11:46):
I mean, you'll just fight that in quart as long
as you can.

Speaker 7 (11:49):
Well.

Speaker 11 (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 3 (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 3 (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.

Speaker 4 (12:52):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
That here is kirstin No Clip six.

Speaker 12 (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 3 (13:24):
Thirteen years in a row.

Speaker 4 (13:27):
And JB.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
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 peace deals with multiple countries. That wasn't really

(13:49):
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?

Speaker 4 (14:05):
But JD.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Pritzker, with a straight face, here it is clip four.

Speaker 6 (14:09):
Is it your belief he's an authoritarian? Look, I can
tell you this.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
I built a Holocaust museum.

Speaker 11 (14:16):
I know what the history was of a constitutional republic
being overturned.

Speaker 6 (14:22):
After an election in fifty three days, and.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
I'm very, very concerned.

Speaker 11 (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 3 (14:36):
And I can tell you that the playbook is the same.

Speaker 11 (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 2 (14:57):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (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.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
It's Jimmy Phailah.

Speaker 13 (15:44):
He's been America's most favored comedian at a time when
America was in a most bewildered state of mind.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
It's Fox across America.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
This is Fox across America with Jimmy.

Speaker 3 (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.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
I don't know that they do.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
In the Mayor's office of Chicago, here is Brandon Johnson
yelling about no federal troops Clip eight.

Speaker 10 (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 14 (16:34):
Oh you tell them, thank you for the education, gentlemen.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
We've just received a PhD in stupidity.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
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 send in the Feds. We don't

(17:00):
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 making license plates in

(17:24):
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 is the real
problem here. I mean, oh, crazy, someplace else. We're all

(17:46):
sucked up here. 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,

(18:09):
you idiots. 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

(18:29):
the road in November. If you want to see me live,
go 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,

(18:50):
and we're gonna do so. As the late great Rush
Limbaugh 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

(19:11):
mainstream media, or you know, he'd call him the drive
by press. From time to time, they they'd raise an
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

(19:31):
on the left ever actually does any journalism, as the
kids like to say online. But until I started working
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

(19:53):
editor they let it come out storbyge and I don't
know what this would even qualify as. But Joe Scarborough,
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

(20:15):
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
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

(20:36):
Biden had ever been.

Speaker 9 (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 3 (20:55):
And I've known him for years.

Speaker 9 (20:57):
The presentsks of known him for fifty years weren't the truth.

Speaker 3 (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 15 (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 3 (21:30):
Thank you, President Biden, President Trump.

Speaker 6 (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 3 (21:37):
Okay, you understand, Joe Scarborough told us that was the
sharpest Joe Biden ever.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
Josh the bit outside.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
He tried the corner in this.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
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 know what she had to do
with it. But Biden, are you the big man?

Speaker 4 (22:11):
Joe?

Speaker 3 (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 10 (24:10):
I am.

Speaker 9 (24:11):
I am very willing to let the American public judge
my physical mental filth.

Speaker 6 (24:16):
My physical as well as my mental filth.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
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 in their communities, and the idea that some elite

(24:41):
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, so there's no way it

(25:02):
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,

(25:23):
I know he's doing so 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

(25:44):
I root for the Democrat Party. 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

(26:04):
of spell on him and 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

(26:24):
alive and eating them. This could be a problem, not ideal.
I don't even think 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

(26:45):
people around him. And if you remember in the movie,
short Round has to like 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.

(27:08):
I don't know how it comes. I'm not advocating for violence,
shut up, okay, 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

(27:30):
voted for. They just got shot. Seven people died. That's horrific,
and 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

(27:55):
crime issue for Democrats is a loser if they don't
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 9 (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 3 (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 9 (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 3 (31:49):
And let's work together to save lives.

Speaker 9 (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 3 (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.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
He's the host. You shouldn't get too close to.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
A lot of things about me. You don't know anything
about that.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
Things you wouldn't understand.

Speaker 16 (34:36):
Things he couldn't understand, things you shouldn't understand.

Speaker 3 (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.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Nuts from everywhere USA. It's Fox Across America with Jimmy Fallows.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
Jimmy came across in my travels last week. In the
immediate aftermath of this shooting, every Democrat jumped on social media.
It was really weird and just started trashing people for praying. Obviously,
the Jensaki clip was the worst thing I've ever seen.
There were a series of them, but it's essentially Jensaki

(36:41):
talking about, you know, the thoughts and prayers don't work,
You're gonna need to go out there and do something. Guys,
No one was praying because they thought it would stop shootings. Okay,
first and foremost, that's not why anyone's praying. People are
praying because they have empathy, they have a relationship with God,
and they're trying to send good vibes and good energy

(37:03):
and the power of healing and strength to people in
a time of great peril. That is the point of
the prayers. There's no one on the right saying this
is our gun control strategy, just the same as Jen
Saki tried to make a secondary point about Trump's National
Guard deployment, saying, when kids are getting shot in their

(37:24):
pews at a Catholic school mass, and your crime plan
is to have National Guard put mulch down around d C,
maybe re three think your strategy. That is, Jen Saki,
you sound insane. Do you realize that you should be medicated? Okay,
First of all, the National Guard, if you know you're
trying to conflate one with the other. The National Guard

(37:45):
got DC down to its lowest murder rate in history,
twelve days in a row without a murder. Okay, they
got carjackings down by eighty two percent. There could be
no argument over whether or not that deployment has been
successful for DC. But the secondary point is Jensaki's tweeting
these things in the same hour that we're finding out

(38:06):
little school kids have been gunned down, and she's on
TV trying to RaSE up the troops and get them
fired up so she can collect some likes on Twitter.
Listen to this one. Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers
do not in school shootings. Prayers do not make parents
feel safe sending their kids to school. Prayer does not
bring these kids back enough with the thoughts and prayers

(38:26):
because you don't. First of all, you don't tell anybody
how to engage their religion. You're not in control of
who gets to deploy prayer when and where.

Speaker 6 (38:38):
You're not The.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
Prayers are number one. Number two. This effort to conflate
prayer with some type of gun control. Okay, understand those
guns sadly were they were purchased legally, Okay, But the
real issue that we keep coming back to when it
comes to gun control is people want guns to protect

(39:01):
themselves and their children from psychos like this. Every time
we have a horrific incident, the Democrats try to use
the actions of a fringe loony as grounds for you
to give up your rights. Okay, but is that actually
going to happen. Obviously, nobody's okay with these shootings taking place.

(39:26):
But that is the reality of the Second Amendment. It
serves two purposes. One is that right to self defense. Obviously,
the larger reason for its existence is to hinder a
government's ability to impose tyranny on its populace. Do they
wind up doing it in incremental ways, yes, okay, But
the truth is the reason people will never, ever ever

(39:49):
give up their guns is because they don't want to
be penalized for the actions of the fringe. They want
to be put in a position to defend themselves should
the fringe come looking for them. Okay, And it doesn't
mean that they're okay with whatever collateral damage should ensue.
This isn't like when the Democrats are like, well, let

(40:10):
in twenty one million people, what about the fennyl and
the gangs. Shut up, We'll say everyone's racist if they
bring up the point, we just need the population for
the census and the money and the redistricting, So shut
up over here. And that's their approach that they take,
and they can justify all that collateral damage because they
think it's good for their bottom line. I mean, that's

(40:30):
the sad reality. It costs a lot of money to
run for political office, and the Democrats take that money
whatever way they can. I mean, if the Democrats had
a motto, it is we want more money and they
don't care how they get it. Okay, On the Republican
side of the aisle, we want more safety, we want
more accountability. We want to live in in America where

(40:52):
the country is matter at the people shooting, then the
people pray. That's what we want. But there were so
many clips last week I could play you from mainstream outlets, Ah,
what the thoughts on the prayers? And the mayor of Minneapolis,
Jacob Fry that loser have this very similar take, Ah
what the prayers? Already, now's the time to take act. No,

(41:12):
it's not okay. The Democrat Party is telling men that
they are women, that they are trapped in the wrong body.
You need to get surgery and become a woman. That
is a fact check false. The fact check false because
you never ever become the other thing. If you're a man,
you don't become a girl. You just spend a lot

(41:34):
of money on surgery to celebrate permanent Halloween. Okay, that's
what you do. If you are a girl you want
to become a boy, you spend a lot of money
on surgery so you can celebrate permanent Halloween. You are
in a costume. You don't take on the biological characteristics
or the reproductive capabilities. You just look like a thing.

(41:54):
You understand. It's no different than if you put on
spandex in a cape and you jump off a Britain.
You're not gonna fly because you're not Superman. But the
point is the Democrats have pumped a lot of people
full of hormones, then told the rest of the world
that we're out to kill them, and then, in some
instances like this one, a person who is mentally ill

(42:17):
and very conflicted acts out on their confusion and their hatred,
both of which were fed to them by the Democrat Party. Hey,
you're trapped in the wrong body. You need a bunch
of hormones that don't naturally occur inside of that body
because you're going through some things. But you're not gonna
be better until we pump you full of the hormones.

(42:37):
By the way, while you're taking those non naturally occurring hormones.
Be careful. Everybody wants to kill you, especially the Christians,
and that's what they're pumping into people. Okay, I don't
have an answer to this, I truly don't. I want
schools fortified. You know, when someone gives me the excuse
of like, wow, we don't want the kids going to

(42:58):
school a not such a way. Yeah, yeah, we do. Okay.
These people don't attack hard targets. They attack gun free
zones where people are defenseless. I'm not saying it's a
full proof plan. We had cops show up at Uvaldi.
They didn't get the job done, Okay, but anything that
makes it a little harder in theory would be good.
And I know people take that same approach to gun control. Well,

(43:19):
would you just want to make it harder, Of course
you would. But there's no way to do that without
making it harder on the good people that are there
to protect you, that are there to protect themselves. That's
where this challenge lies, in a massive population that's not
doing enough to address a mental illness problem, that's not
doing enough to address personal responsibility. When you start using

(43:42):
terms like systemic in the year twenty twenty five. Okay,
twenty twenty five are the most tolerant and inclusive society
on the planet. There is more upward mobility and tolerance
for your existence here in America than there are anywhere
else in the world. Okay, whether you're trans, w you're gay,
whether you're straight, doesn't matter, whatever your background happens to be.

(44:03):
There's no better place to be you than here. And
when you start to use words like the stemic, you're
starting to deny people the perspective that they have it
really good here. When you start telling them, now, it's
the system and it's screwed up, but it's out to
get you. Nobody likes you. You're able to outsource all
of your shortcomings onto society, and that caters to a

(44:24):
whole subset of people who prefer victimhood as the ultimate
form of currency. Okay, the Democrat Party champions victimhood over victorhood.
Victorhood is like, you can do it. This is America.
Anybody can be anything. We walked on the moon, we
stopped the Nazis, and now after doing all those things,
we're being told that nobody can get a fair shake

(44:46):
in this country anymore. Democrats are so full of crap,
but especially as it pertains to members of the trans community. Okay,
it's less than one percent of the population, Okay, which
is fine. Be whatever the hell you want. If you
are a personal over the age of eighteen, do what
anything he wants your body. I don't care, America e
pluribus unum out of many one. Okay, I don't care.

(45:10):
But if there is a consistent behaviorial pattern in that population,
like the one we're seeing related to mass shootings of
this sort, we should also be allowed to call it
out just the same. Okay. True equality is not making
one group untouchable like some infantilized lesser than who sits
at the kiddie table, and we don't talk about the

(45:30):
issue head on. True equality is you get treated no
different than anybody else. Okay, And in this moment, right now,
the reason the Democrats went after the prayer crowd, the
reason the Democrats go after the gun lobby, the reason
the Democrats go after Fox News is nobody wants to
look in where to the problem they very well may
have created, and that's the biggest liability for them. Okay.

(45:55):
They took the trans movement, which has every right to exist,
but they try to turn it into this manufactured civil
rights movement, like black people were being denied human rights
under the Dixiecrats, the Democrats who ran those Southern states
during reconstruction after the Civil War. That group of Southern
Democrats that were running society were denying black people basic

(46:18):
quality of life access like couldn't go to the same restaurant,
couldn't ride on the same bus for a time, and
then you had to sit in the back till Rosa
Parks made a move. Okay, the Woolworth sit it, you know,
things that went on that were denying black people basic access.
In the year twenty twenty, in the aftermath of the
George Floyd killing, Democrats saw this whole uprising against what

(46:41):
we thought was some sort of oppression. I mean I didn't,
maybe you didn't, but that's what they were selling, and
decided this was the moment transgender people would grab beyond rights,
I mean rights or rights. You have the right to
go to any restaurant you want, work anywhere you want,
drive anywhere you want, travel anywhere you want. Okay, use
any bathroom assigned to you at birth. Okay. When the

(47:05):
Democrats tried to give them rights plus, which is, not
only do you have the right to be a transperson,
because you do, but you now have the rights to
get dressed in the other locker room, even if it
doesn't correspond with your biological sex. Some people didn't like that, okay,
and they shouldn't like that. I should not be able
to say I'm a woman and that just gains me

(47:26):
access to the women's room. Okay, but that's a lot
of what's been going on in places like loud in Virginia.
The Democrats tried to give them rights plus and I
said this at the time, saying they have the right
to go into the women's room, saying they have the
right to steal a scholarship from a woman, okay, is
a way to guarantee pushback, because you know, there are

(47:48):
a lot of folks bargaining in good faith that don't
want their daughter getting undressed in front of a biological
strange man that they don't know, just the same as
they don't want their daughter losing a scholarship or seeing
something horrific like the beatdown that took place at this
year's Summer Olympics, where the Italian girl was forced to
quit because she was fighting a man from Algeria who

(48:09):
was going to kill her, and yes, we're naturally going
to push back against a lot of that, at which
point the Democrats weaponize that as some type of hate. Well,
it's just because they hate, they want these people dead.
It's transgenocide, I tell you. And now none of that's true. None, no,
that's even remotely true. But that's the environment they created.
They are manufacturing a civil rights movement where they've tried

(48:32):
to decide that trans folks are being denied rights the
way black folks were. But it's not remotely close to true.
If you are a trans person, you can do everything
on Earth, assuming it corresponds with your origin gender. Okay,
what you dress up at as for Halloween should not
afford you additional rights, especially if they pertain to biology

(48:55):
and fairness in athletics and fairness in women's prime. But
the Democrats have told you that that's some form of
discriminatory hatred, and we're out to kill everybody who happens
to be trans. Couple that with some naturally some hormones
that are not naturally occurring in their bodies, and yes,
you're gonna see people conflicted like this shooter who ultimately

(49:19):
lash out. Okay, but mind you, the backlash is never
going to be about them if it's something the Democrats committed, okay,
And that's the thing they get least of all, is
that nine times out of ten, the good people in
this country who were given to prayer in the aftermath
of something this horrific, they might actually be praying for
the Democrats because they just want them to get there together.

Speaker 16 (49:44):
The host who always has gifts for his listeners some grass, a.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
Few evers, little nose candy, no candy.

Speaker 4 (49:53):
There.

Speaker 3 (49:53):
It is Fox Across America with Jimmy Fayala lydiam Wanahan's
coming up that Bath and Beyond and chief financial officer.
He is the executive chairman. I want to get his
title right. He could have me thrown off the building.
Marcus Lamona is going to be here as well. But
right now it is some you and me time talking
about the state of the country. Who got a funny

(50:16):
one as we were talking about all this craziness happening,
Woody Allen sitting down on the Bill Maher podcast. I
promised this earlier. This says not going to play well
in Hollywood. But here's Woody Allen talking to Bill Maher
about Donald Trump's acting chops when he directed him back
in the day clip twenty seven.

Speaker 14 (50:37):
He was very good.

Speaker 17 (50:39):
He was very convincing and very you know, he has
some charismatic quality as an actor, and I'm surprised he
wanted to go into bullam. Politics is nothing but headaches
and critical decisions and agony. And this was the guy
I used to see at the nick game, and he

(51:00):
liked to play golf, and he liked to judge beauty contests,
and he liked to do things that were enjoyable and relaxing.
And why anyone would want to suddenly have to deal
with the issues of politics is beyond me.

Speaker 4 (51:16):
But apparently he doesn't mind.

Speaker 3 (51:20):
So that's where you are. So I don't know what
the hell Trump was thinking. Guys had a really good life.
He decided to get into politics.

Speaker 4 (51:27):
What the hell were you thinking?

Speaker 3 (51:30):
That's kind of his take. You know, what happens to
a lot of people, especially guys who get older, guys women. Okay,
if you've lived a very successful life, you oftentimes develop
what I call American gratitude. You realize that a lot
of your successes are only possible because of the life

(51:51):
you were born into here, and I'm not talking about
the fact that Donald Trump was born into a pretty
rich family, because there are millions and millions and millions
of people that were born into rich families that have
amounted to absolutely nothing. Donald Trump has an unteachable level
of ambition and persistence that will be studied forever. And

(52:13):
I think the point is a guy like him who
realizes how successful he became was only possible because of America.
And I think later in life, getting past the ego
of being president, wanted to do something good for America
just the same.

Speaker 4 (52:28):
And here we are, Bengal man Bingo.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
You're listening to Fox Across America with Jimmy Fayla on
sevent ten.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
Wr damn back in action. Labor Day weekend has come
and gone. We have recovered most of our motor skills.
Joining us now to lend a hand backup is someone
I can't necessarily vouch for your sobriety ever right now.
But the nice thing about our show is if we
really did get on the air hammered on Fox Presburger,

(52:59):
no one would know that they wouldn't know. And joining
me now someone who can attest to that she's a
superstar guest on this show and every show from the
New York Post the Great LIDIYO want to.

Speaker 18 (53:07):
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 19 (53:08):
Actually, the first time I did your Saturday Night show,
I got a big mug. It was kind of not
entirely see through, and I thought, oh, this is fun.
I bet there's some sort of exciting beverage in here.

Speaker 6 (53:19):
And it was water.

Speaker 3 (53:20):
It really was like sparkling water, right.

Speaker 18 (53:22):
I was kind of disappointed.

Speaker 19 (53:24):
I'm not gonna lie, Like I thought, if anybody could
get away with it, it would be you.

Speaker 18 (53:29):
Hm, And you chose not to make that decision, and
you know what, that's that's your choice.

Speaker 3 (53:34):
Supposing, okay, choice, this would be genius. Supposing every guest
on Fox New Saturday Night has a glass full of
water as a means of distracting you from the fact
that my cup has whatever I want? What do you
think of that? That any world where that could be possible,
but it's actually not true.

Speaker 18 (53:51):
How they get you.

Speaker 3 (53:53):
I'll tell you what actually happens for real. I my
comedy brand, like when I was doing stand up. If
I'm on stage your stand up, actually don't try like
I will bring a whiskey like a bourbon on stage,
right on the rocks, And if I'm on stage an
hour and twenty minutes, hour and a half, I will
not have a sip of it till there's like ten
minutes ago, cause it's like I've just I've done the
thing and now you're in like Q and A mode

(54:14):
you'll tell a few jokes and skate out, and uh,
I don't because my natural like comedy brain or conversational brain,
I feel is better sober. Okay, some people are the opposite.

Speaker 18 (54:23):
That's fair.

Speaker 19 (54:24):
No, I know a few people who say that they
take a shot before they go on air because they
do better, really, or I could.

Speaker 3 (54:31):
See a world where that would make sense if like
nerves were involved or something. Okay in show biziness. So
I'm so dead on the inside. I've been doing this
a long time to have a lot of tax shifts
and nothing less cut off and shot at. I've made
all my childhood dreams come true and now I'm just
trying to help out and give back. That's who I am.
That's the stage, I admit. And at some point they

(54:53):
throw you out of here and you go buy a
mac mansion, you know. I don't have just to have
a good life. So I'm not that's amazing? Are you
kidding me? I got nothing to say.

Speaker 18 (55:00):
McDonald's mcmahonson, I mean fabulous.

Speaker 3 (55:04):
Absolutely, Amen, we're talking to the great lydiam on hands.
This is so exciting. So post Labor Day, I've been
telling everybody, as New Yorker's Michael, this is when like
the mayor's race actually starts. O god, yeah, and the
money comes in and things happen, and I don't know
that anything's happening. I don't know anything's gonna go on yet. Yeah,
the power of yet that's fair?

Speaker 4 (55:25):
Is that true?

Speaker 18 (55:26):
That's your line?

Speaker 3 (55:26):
She loves the Yes, you would be the first person
to quote Megan Markele on this show or any show
for that matter. But that's okay, and that's is nothing
wrong with That's the point of foxos Mark. We welcome
all kinds of all voices.

Speaker 18 (55:38):
Yes, diversity of thought, Meg Mark.

Speaker 3 (55:43):
So the possibilities of yet, yes, is there a world
is someone who reports on the business world? Uh, where
there's the possibility that mom Donnie is good for business?
Is that yet out there in the cards? Because I
don't feel like Megan Markle's quote applies here.

Speaker 19 (55:58):
Yeah, I don't think the power of yet exists unless
Mumdannie has some sort of Damascus moment where he completely
converts to a capitalist.

Speaker 18 (56:09):
I don't think that that is true at all. You
know what, it could be good for capitalism and businesses
in Florida or any other state, but not here, not here.

Speaker 19 (56:20):
I know this is This is interesting though, because people
are saying, this is the month where somebody's got a
drop out. Everyone was waiting until New Yorker's return to
the city after Labor Day, and so now's kind of
the moment where if something is going to happen, it
will be happening in the next few weeks.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
That's a true story. But I don't know. I mean,
Curtis Lee was just out there, you know, offering to
hire seven thousand more cops, which would be good and cats.
Cops and cats. He likes the kiddies.

Speaker 6 (56:47):
It's his thing.

Speaker 3 (56:47):
He likes the cat. Well, listen, you got the rat
problem that we do.

Speaker 18 (56:50):
It's true.

Speaker 19 (56:52):
Why is it that the policemen have dogs like German
shepherds or labs and not cats.

Speaker 18 (56:58):
I think that's an underutilized resource.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
Well, the difference I think is like they can both
save your life, but only dogs want to, you know,
the cats.

Speaker 18 (57:05):
Doesn't true that the cat would sniff upon and be like, yeah, whatever.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
Yeah, we're good here. You don't know Lydian Morning hands
here disparaging cats. I'm kidding, I'm not.

Speaker 18 (57:20):
I'm fine disparaged cats.

Speaker 2 (57:22):
I'm not a cat man.

Speaker 3 (57:23):
That's funny. Well, the Mom Donnie thing, we're in this
position where they want somebody to drop out. We don't
know if it's going to happen, and there's this twofold
there's basically just twofold fringe benefit Like the Republican Party
is like, wow, but if he wins, then we can
really run nationally against this sort of thing. It's on
the march aosa, which yes, is good, but it's also

(57:45):
bad because if you tank New York, it gets bailed
out by the rest of the country. So I've been
saying this forever for as long as he since he
won the primary. I'm like, nobody around the country ever
cares who the mayor of New York is, but they're
going to kind of be forced into caring because if
he wins, the bill is gonna come due and the
Bill does not get paid by New York. You know,
they raise the taxes on the buses and the subways

(58:06):
and the bridges for the five thousandth time.

Speaker 18 (58:08):
Not the buses.

Speaker 3 (58:08):
Not the buses. He wants free busting.

Speaker 1 (58:11):
We love a free bus, so we bring this up.

Speaker 3 (58:13):
Okay, the free bust thing. Kansas City just canceled the
free bus program because it wasn't not enough ridership. It's
a tough thing.

Speaker 19 (58:22):
The police, government, subsidized transportation does not have a great
track record of success, not the best.

Speaker 3 (58:30):
No, and then you get this idea that like Bill Deblasio,
a man who as mayor New York's, I believe their
number one restaurant chain. I was telling Stuart Varney, this
was a place called this Space for rent that is
courtesy of de Blasio. Hottest trend in New York City
under Bill de Blasio was a restaurant chain.

Speaker 18 (58:49):
And the models stay so thin.

Speaker 3 (58:51):
Yeah, that's why they're so thin in New York City.

Speaker 18 (58:53):
They sponsor New York Fashion Week.

Speaker 3 (58:55):
Deblosio closes all of the businesses. Harry is talking about
free bussing, clipped twenty four free bus.

Speaker 20 (59:02):
If he runs that, the City of New York runs it,
just like we run so many other services. And the
bottom line here is to think about the free buses again.
Free buses has been proven to work in many parts
of the country where it's I'll get your list of cities.
But the bottom line is it is something that allows
people to one reduce their costs which people are overwhelmed

(59:22):
by to get into mass transit.

Speaker 4 (59:24):
More.

Speaker 20 (59:25):
It works because we know that if people are given
a quality alternative they can afford, they'll use it.

Speaker 3 (59:31):
Ooh, so that is okay, Bill de Blasio saying free
buses have worked all over the country.

Speaker 6 (59:39):
He is so fullish this guy.

Speaker 18 (59:42):
I'll get you a list.

Speaker 3 (59:43):
Cat let me give you a list of where they've
been implemented. Okay, just so we're all on the same page,
because you want to, he said, this list, free buses
have worked where I don't know. I'll get your list.
You know, I got a hot girlfriend. Where is she?
I shouldn't live around here. I can't see her now,
So so far not good. But do you want to
know where they've been love to just so we're clear
the city level examples of free bussing, which is what

(01:00:06):
we propose here. Talon Estonia Okay, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Kansas City,
Missouri has been closed. We've got three. Okay, the Malaysian model,
I don't know that we're trying to make New York
Malaysia again. Nothing against the Estonia model, just the same.

(01:00:27):
There are population differences, but it does say Malta made
its public transport free nationwide starting in October of twenty two,
and I think Malta's still alive.

Speaker 18 (01:00:38):
I think Malta is.

Speaker 19 (01:00:39):
Malta also has a well this is now in question,
but they have a golden passport situation where they've been
able to get billionaires from all over the world to
invest hundreds of millions of dollars in Malta and in
exchange they get an EU passport. So I feel like
all of these examples have some asterisks about what's going
on there because yeah, and can we.

Speaker 3 (01:01:01):
Just take it a step further though, because specifically to
New York, Right, Okay, if the bus is free, you
know who's going to be on the bus.

Speaker 18 (01:01:11):
You know, we'll finally solve the homeless problem.

Speaker 3 (01:01:13):
Yeah, that's essentially whatever it's that's exactly what it is.
It'll become. Yeah, I know, you just put the homeless
on wheels and they just drive around is essentially what
it becomes.

Speaker 19 (01:01:21):
I mean, well, it's soothing, right, you know, like people
put their babies in the back of the car drive
around until they fall asleep.

Speaker 18 (01:01:27):
I mean maybe it's a similar but.

Speaker 3 (01:01:30):
That is the biggest, biggest problem I have. We're talking
to Lidia mornahand is when they say something like, oh,
the bus is free, obviously it's not free, so we
have to pay for it. Somebody has to subsidize the
free bus, and they're trying to force you to mass
transit while simultaneously raising taxes on commuters to pay for
that mass transit. If people stopped driving into the city,

(01:01:52):
that crushes every one of these things. So I don't
they don't actually have like a like a real goal,
like other than I want to say this stuff will
be free so you'll vote for me, which is totally
that is the real goal.

Speaker 18 (01:02:06):
It's also so random.

Speaker 19 (01:02:07):
It's like, Okay, why free buses, why not a free metro,
why not free muse It's like, how does he choose that?
And yeah, I taxes always go up no matter what.
I remember when they levied the tax on commuters from
New Jersey. We thought, oh well, now everything's going to
say the same price, and subway prices have actually continued
to go up.

Speaker 3 (01:02:26):
Dude, they get ready after it. We're not even a
full year into congestion pricing. They're getting ready to raise
it and raise the bridge tolls. Yeah, and everybody who
lives in New York, if you like, grew up here,
they think the rest of the country is dumb. Like
the rest of the country is a genius compared to
what people are doing year.

Speaker 18 (01:02:44):
But for Kansas City, right, yeah, they tanked it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
They had a free grocery store that they tanked, or
government run grocery store, and they tanked. They tanked me.

Speaker 19 (01:02:53):
I just I want to ask people, right because you
look at like the approval readings for like Congress, the
DN the any of these things, like let's think through this, Okay,
if this is so bad, why do you want that
for a grocery store for everything else?

Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
That just because what happens now is everybody's just trying
to win today. They don't govern with a real eye
on tomorrow. And if it's like they can win today,
like I can get elected today, I don't need any
of this to work. Because if it.

Speaker 19 (01:03:22):
Doesn't work, yeah, yeah, you're like, well this sounds fabulous.

Speaker 3 (01:03:25):
Yeah, and people get behind it and it's great and
it'll tank, but you fail upward. In politics, it's more
about your ability to become a national name. It's like
if you look around them, look around the country at
like the specific people fighting with Trump right now. Okay,
it's like Newsome, JB. Pritzker, Brand and Johnson. What are
they all hoping to become the face of the resistance.
And if you become the face of the resistance, so

(01:03:46):
like we like this guy because he's fighting with Trump,
then they get to kind of sweep under the rug
their entire like record of municipal destruction.

Speaker 18 (01:03:56):
It's so true.

Speaker 19 (01:03:57):
I mean, and any political system has its laws, but
here it's all about visibility. Yeah, and auc she doesn't
accomplish anything, Yeah, but she posts really great videos on
social media.

Speaker 3 (01:04:09):
And so therefore that's what she is.

Speaker 18 (01:04:11):
An important voice in the Democratic Party.

Speaker 3 (01:04:13):
That's what's become.

Speaker 19 (01:04:13):
It's a bunch of no overlap with actual ability to
get anything done.

Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
No, it's a bunch of Instagram influencers with a side
hustle in Congress. That's what's going on. There isn't it crazy.
That's a that's like a real thing. Here's Jasmin Crockett.
Since you speak of Instagram influencers, Jasmine Crockett who went
to a really fancy school, like a thirty five thousand
dollars a year high school, a sixty thousand dollars a
year college. Oh my gosh, she's going. You know, she

(01:04:38):
gets a little more street at her rallies now because
she's trying to like mobilize the youth vote. I guess
I don't know how you describe this, but here are
two accidents from Jasmine Crocket in one clip. It's pretty fascinating.
Clip twenty two.

Speaker 21 (01:04:50):
First of all, it's good to see you in the
new year. You know, no one could have told me
that when I went down to Austin now looks like
a little bit over a year ago, that I would
be running for Congress.

Speaker 22 (01:05:02):
Maybe because these people they are crazy, because they always
talk about how Christian they is.

Speaker 3 (01:05:06):
Yeah, I don't know how many am on that side.

Speaker 22 (01:05:09):
I'm getting divorced because they getting caught up sleeping with
their coworker staff, as anserns, all the things.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
Yeah, you ain't gotta believe me.

Speaker 22 (01:05:17):
Just go Google, you'll find some of it, I'm telling you,
and the wives is being messy and pitty.

Speaker 3 (01:05:22):
So that's Shasmine Crockett. And understand what she's doing there
by going with you know, as we said earlier, like Instagram,
you know, influential with a side hustle in Congress. Yeah,
and she's catering to what will be a snappier video,
but there's no actual substance in that video, Like, no
one's going to vote because she's accusing Christian people of

(01:05:44):
having an affair. Okay, if your party spiked groceries by
say thirty percent, or inflation or interest rates, you know,
to nine point whatever the hell they were.

Speaker 18 (01:05:52):
You lost me an interest rate.

Speaker 3 (01:05:54):
But the point is they're trying to set a new
standard for of metric which has nothing to do with governance.

Speaker 6 (01:06:02):
Definitely.

Speaker 3 (01:06:03):
That is what's going on. The most dangerous thing about
right now is the Democrats thing Trump got elected because
he did a lot of media. They don't understand that
people liked the policies. Yeah, and they're all trying to
they're taking the strategy like no, no, we're doing every podcast,
we're doing every TikTok, But no one in that consulting

(01:06:23):
group has been like, and I don't know, maybe like
pretend to like America or something. No one's doing that.
Isn't it crazy?

Speaker 19 (01:06:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (01:06:31):
No, it's it's insane.

Speaker 3 (01:06:32):
I don't want to tell you, Linz, it's not good.
So I sit here and I watch this.

Speaker 19 (01:06:36):
Right, jasminc Crockett has a better accent so than Kamala
Harris than Kamala is that bodes well actually for the Democrats.

Speaker 3 (01:06:43):
But it's also because Jasmine Crockett is sober. Back to
my initial point and that I don't drink when I
do comedy, I believe Kamala does. And I leave the
best the best argument for why you're not supposed to
drink in public speaking, I do believe is made by
Kamala Harris.

Speaker 18 (01:06:58):
So don't or it's not trying to be comedy.

Speaker 19 (01:07:02):
Maybe maybe that's instead of, you know, running for governor
in California or president.

Speaker 18 (01:07:07):
Maybe she should she should go with the stand up row.

Speaker 3 (01:07:09):
Wow, Kamala, she's gonna be on a reality show called
America's Got Vodka. Not good, Kamala.

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
It's a soul stoved back.

Speaker 4 (01:07:17):
After this, the show that's crashing the establishment party. I
don't recall seeing your name on the guest list. I
think they'll be embarrassed about it. I sometimes go by
my midden. You're listening to Fox Across America with Jimmy Phylor.
This is Fox.

Speaker 3 (01:07:34):
They are playing bon Jovi on Fox across America. They
were playing Runaway by bon Jove. That's what they're planning.
The plan run She's a little runway. It's like, definitely
predates you. And I don't even know if he can
say she's a little run they's a little runaway, right?
Is that insensitive? Did John bon Jovi just miss gender
the Runaway? This guy's in big trouble, John bon Jovi.

(01:07:55):
I'm not happy.

Speaker 18 (01:07:56):
We may cancelation is coming.

Speaker 20 (01:07:58):
Just you wait.

Speaker 3 (01:08:00):
NBC issued a correction. There's a horrible school shooting. Last week.
NBC issued an in print correction saying they misgendered the shooter.
She preferred to use she pronouns. I'm like, I feel
like there are certain types of behaviors that kind of
exempt you from right preferred status of verbiage. You know

(01:08:23):
what I'm saying, And the fact that we're not all
there yet in this country is concerning to me.

Speaker 19 (01:08:28):
Well, I just I don't know how that would have
happened where somebody was looking at an article about horrible
shooting and their first thought.

Speaker 18 (01:08:38):
Is, oh, genders.

Speaker 3 (01:08:40):
Yeah, I'll tell you the real crime here. I mean,
it's crazy, like.

Speaker 18 (01:08:43):
How does this, how does this happen?

Speaker 19 (01:08:45):
Who are these people who are policing this kind of
language when it comes to a murderer?

Speaker 3 (01:08:51):
Yes, but it does show you where their priorities are, right,
that's the point.

Speaker 19 (01:08:56):
I mean it was immediately after the shoot was the
transgender communities?

Speaker 18 (01:09:00):
And then come under to it's like, no, the people
were shot. Can you talk about that for.

Speaker 19 (01:09:04):
A second, And the answer is immediately coming out. I
also feel like if I I would feel like the
transgender community wouldn'tant to be associated with this person and
wouldn't want to say, oh, this is the hill to
die on.

Speaker 18 (01:09:15):
Make sure they have the right pronouns.

Speaker 3 (01:09:17):
Yeah, actually just let this one.

Speaker 18 (01:09:19):
Lets you know what we can move on.

Speaker 6 (01:09:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:09:21):
That probably a handful of people saw the article not
the hill.

Speaker 4 (01:09:24):
To die yep.

Speaker 3 (01:09:25):
But instead they came back, they wrote a retraction and
that whole jazz and you know the big that's one
of the biggest problems that they have right now when
you talk about, you know, fighting the wrong battles. They're
fighting all the wrong battles. And I told this to
Stuart Varney this morning, and this is I say this
every day on the show, Like, if you want to
be an elected official in this country, you all you

(01:09:46):
really need to do is pretend to care about this country.
Like if you could just do that like that, that's
like such a thing, you know, bare minimum totally. But
we don't do that anymore like that. And I'm not
saying people on the right aren't doing I'm not saying
some poples, but on the they're.

Speaker 19 (01:10:01):
Still obsessed with these teeny tiny populations, yes, that they
prioritize above anyone else when you think about the number
of people that were impacted the overarching issue, and instead
it's like, let's focus on making sure potentially a point
zero two percent of the population who identifies as trans
is not offended by misgendering the shoot.

Speaker 3 (01:10:21):
It's like, yeah, it's a shooter. I mean, I'm just
telling you guys, people listening out there that are my friends,
there are certain behaviors that disqualify you from you know,
conversational etiquette. I'm not you know, and I have to
say shooting is one of It's just maybe I'm a
stick in the mud. I'm sorry to be that guy.

Speaker 18 (01:10:40):
Call me old fashioned.

Speaker 3 (01:10:41):
You shoot everybody, I'm not necessarily gonna treat you with
the you know.

Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
White gloves from everywhere USA. It's Fox Across America with
Jimmy Fayla.

Speaker 3 (01:10:51):
Oh you bet it is. And we are fired off
in this hour to bring you just an absolute embarrassment
of radio riches. It's Fox Across America with Jimmy Flow.
We're gonna have a chit chat with Marcus Lamonis, who
is running Bed Bath and Beyond. He is on the
new season of The Fixer on Fox Business, and he

(01:11:12):
recently moved his Bed Bath and Beyond operations out of California,
like Playboy before him, because Gavin Newsom and his anti
business practices have alienated the entire business community. We're going
to talk about it in this hour and we're gonna
have a grown up chit chat about all things America
eight at eight seven and eight nine, nine one zero.

(01:11:34):
If you want to be a part of the show,
and again, this is not a show that aims to
build consensus over anything other than the fact that if
you live in this country. You've hit the lotter, you
do an okay for yourself. You don't have to be
a Republican to listen. You don't have to be anything,
be a member of no political party. What nobody cares
on this show. We're just literally talking about the world.

(01:11:56):
I was a former New York City cab driver, and
the thing I missed the most about it is strangers
getting into your cab and talking you with the candor
of someone you're never going to see again. So they
give you all kinds of you know, pork chop recipes
and conspiracy theories and everything in between, and you just
kind of sit there and take it. But it's fun
because you don't feel like anybody's like work in an angle.

(01:12:18):
They're not trying to like win over the cabby on
the way to thirty ninth Street. I mean, if they
were in the back of my cab, they were just
trying to stay alive to get the thirty nine stays out.
It's in a long season. Nobody goes undefeated, especially not
behind the wheel here in New York City. But as
we get into way in this hour, okay, I want

(01:12:39):
to talk about specifically the issue the business community is
having with big blue states like California, in that the
state is just trying to do too much, and everything
the state tries to do cost money, and of course
that bill gets passed on to the taxpayer.

Speaker 12 (01:12:58):
Thanks big government witnesses.

Speaker 3 (01:13:00):
If that's the bigger problem with California is they have
states subsidized everything. They even jacked up a minimum wage
that's seen a massive amount of job losses ensue as
a result of it, because the only choice these companies
have if you double or triple the minimum wage is
to either a pass it on to the consumer and

(01:13:21):
go out of business, or b eat the increased operating
cost and go out of business, or see automate the job,
at which point all of those entry level positions go away.
That's what's happened out in California where they've lost about
twenty thousand jobs due to their increased minimum wage. And again,

(01:13:43):
I am here cheering for the working man every day
I was driving a taxi eighty four hours a week.
I get it. But when the government decides it's going
to close all the gaps in your life, the only
thing that can inevitably happen is more taxes and a
slower government, okay, and that California knows that better than

(01:14:04):
anybody because the highest tax, highest regulated state in the
country had wildfires breakout, eighteen thousand of them burned down
and we haven't built back a single one yet. Get
got it dope better than that, you'd like to think.
But Gavin Newsom just the latest and the long line
of Democrat politicians who's trying to fail upward. Gavin Newsom
is not on the news going, We're going to rebuild

(01:14:25):
the houses, you know what I'm saying. He's not on
the news going, We're going to get back those minimum
wage jobs that we just lost with this dope law. No,
he's on the news going Trump's the devil and hopefully
enough people liked me that I can run for president
now with no record of success in his country. You know,
Gavin Newsom likes to say whenever you criticize people leaving,

(01:14:46):
he goes, oh, it's the fourth largest economy, Okay, but
it's not like when he took it over it increased.
You know what I'm saying. He inherited a magnificent thing
and has essentially run it into the ground. Who Gavin
Newsom is so you understand that when it comes to
big government, if you are running a business, a big

(01:15:10):
business has a very hard time existing alongside a big
government because that big government makes it harder for you
to hire, that big government puts a higher tax burden
on you, That big government incentivizes manufacturing happening outside of America. Okay,
and that's one of the biggest issues people have with

(01:15:31):
Trump is when it comes to these tariffs and the
judges that are fighting him and everything in between. All
he's really trying to do is force companies to onshore
wealth and employment. You know, if you get people and
I'm not saying we're going to reclaim every job we
lost you to NAFTA, there's no chance of that happening.
But you know, if you could be driving across the

(01:15:52):
country and you know, a third a third of the
towns that are burnt out because the manufacturer base left,
if a third of them came back, that would be
such a win for so many communities and so many
millions of people. But sadly, it is the government that's
chased them away at every single turn. Okay.

Speaker 14 (01:16:12):
Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is
the problem. So when you talk to a guy like
Marcus Lamonis later in the hour. He's the executive chairman
of Bed Bath and Beyond. He's a CEO of Camping World.
He's on the show The Fixer.

Speaker 3 (01:16:27):
He knows how government directly affects a business. He knows
it better than just about anybody out there. And it's
why they left California. Okay, three hundred businesses of left California.
Think about that. Playboy left California. I said this last week.
Playboy came into business in nineteen fifty three. They started

(01:16:49):
in Chicago, quickly moved out to California in the sixties,
had a sixty five year run in California. Gavin Newsom
shows up, they leave. Think about that. Okay, Hugh Hefner,
they pulled their operations out of California. Hugh Hefner has
never pulled out of anything in his life.

Speaker 6 (01:17:08):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:17:09):
But the point is, anti business practices can chase away
an iconic brand. You know what else does it? Crime?
So Gavin Newsom's had a massive problem with crime and homelessness,
and the Democrats did a lot of things they thought
were empathetic. That's what New York's trying to do. With
zoron Mam Donnie, that lunatic, you know, Mom Donnie represents

(01:17:31):
more of what we've seen in Seattle and LA and
on the West Coast, which is empathy for criminals, which
is yes, empathy for drug addiction. And again, their addiction
is a horrific thing. It could happen to anybody listening
to the show right now. So you absolutely have a
lot of grace when it comes to that issue. But
the idea of in I don't want to say incentivizing it,

(01:17:54):
but certainly building a support system for public drug use
is the worst thing that could ever happen to a city,
small business community when you start having safe heroin injection
sites and now kids are walking past junkies dying in
the street on the way to school. Number one, that's
not a good atmosphere for a kid to grow up in.
But number two, when people are that spooked out by

(01:18:15):
the urban blight, they're a lot less likely to come
there and spend their money. You don't think of what's
happening to the businesses in AOC's district. Doubt in Queens,
AOC who killed off Amazon jobs replaced them with migrant hookers.

Speaker 4 (01:18:29):
Oh yes, I've read about that in the Bible.

Speaker 3 (01:18:31):
So you can't walk a block on Jackson Avenue and
not see a migrant hooker. And you know what, people
aren't excited to bring their kids to those local businesses,
show up with a family on a night out when
dad's going to get hit on by you know, some
girl Cinebuns or whatever the hell her name is. I
don't have an answer. So you realize that in a
lot of these instances, the crime issue is the as

(01:18:55):
the economic issue, and vice versa. Okay, In struggling inner cities,
there is a direct correlation between high amounts of violent
crime and low amounts of economic opportunity. Meaning if there
aren't a lot of legal ways to make money, people
start making it illegally. You know, if you can't get
a job at a store, all right, maybe you'll sell drugs. Okay,

(01:19:18):
If you can't get a job at a store, maybe
you'll car jack. Maybe you'll steal cars. Maybe they'll do
stuff like that. Maybe one of those guys stealing iPads
and phones and everything else on the subway like they
do here in New York City. And the point is,
if you can't make it legally, you make it illegally.
But if you become a community where people are making
it illegally, you become that less likely to welcome legitimate businesses.

(01:19:40):
And if you're not welcoming legitimate businesses, you're not ultimately
going to attract a lot of legitimate people who are
going to come keep your community afloat. And that's the
biggest challenge to what California? Did you scare off the
good businesses? Okay, there's a lot of bad street stuff
going on, but lo and behold, a lot of people
don't feel comfortable there. And it's a mindset of every

(01:20:00):
we've heard out of the Democrat Party. Brandon Johnson, I
played you this clip last week in Chicago. Here he
is saying arresting people is racist. This has bananas. Clip nine.

Speaker 10 (01:20:08):
The federal government just spend that money on proven solutions
to crime and violence reduction. We cannot incarcerate our way
out of violence. We've already tried that. If we've ended
up with the largest prison population in the world without
solving the problems of crime and violence, the addiction on
jails and incarceration in this country, we have moved past that.

(01:20:32):
It is racist, it is immoral, It is unholy and
it is not the way to drive violence down.

Speaker 3 (01:20:38):
Oh what a loser, he says. Arresting people is racist.

Speaker 21 (01:20:42):
I mean, come on, Winners are not allowed to allow
losers to rewrite history.

Speaker 3 (01:20:49):
And Mayor Brandon Johnson as a loser, he's pulling a
fourteen percent. But when you get out there and you're like, yeah,
arresting people is racist, Kittio. In Chicago, ninety eight percent
of the murders, the victims are black people. Okay, if
you arrest their murderer, it's not because you're a racist.
It's because you hold the people who follow the law

(01:21:12):
in higher regard than the people who break it. But
that's not happening in any of these cities. California's example.
Chicago's an example, dude, Baltimore, think about Baltimore. Baltimore actually
sued Hyundai and Kia because they said their cars were
too easy to steal. Hey, we're not the problem for
not enforcing the law and putting people in jail. It's

(01:21:33):
your freaking cars. Look what you was wearing, your honors.
She wanted it, wanted to get stolen, and that's the
approach they took. And it's so toxic. You understand, the
government doesn't help a ton, but it hurts an awful lot.
You live in a country where there is a social
safety net, and there are a lot of people who,
through no fault of their own, need that social safety net,

(01:21:55):
and it should be there for every single one of them.
But when we become a country that's telling able bodied
people they should depend on that safety net because it's
not their fault. Because America systemically racist and it's bad,
and you just got to let the government solve your
problems anyway. Child care is too extensive, let the government
give it to you. Commuting that's expensive. We got free buses, groceries, schmroceries,

(01:22:19):
we got a government controlled grocery store. They're trying to
do all those things, but all of those things wind
up costing the tax payer money. As you know, none
of the free stuff is actually free, okay, But a
government that runs on that level of entitlement ultimately makes
their free state the most expensive one in the world.

(01:22:39):
And that's where we find ourselves in the modern democrat moment.
You've got Chicago where Brandon Johnson says, we can't arrest people.
That's racist, all right, So I guess go kill whoever
you want. You're not going to jail that ought to help,
that ought to help the vibe. I mean, come on, okay,
you look out at LA where Newsom a chasing away
big businesses like bed bath and beyond with like, I

(01:23:00):
the hell can do this? We can't operate like this. Okay,
it's bad. You look at New York where I'm at
zor on mom. Donnie wants to be the mayor, And
what does he want to do when he becomes the mayor?
Free buses, government controlled grocery stores. Okay, he's tweeted all
his fantasies about defunding the police. I don't think you'll
have the wherewithal to pull it off. But when you
create a society that has all the incorrect empathies, there's

(01:23:25):
no way, there's no way for the quality of life
to go up. It can only go down. And that
is like the biggest challenge of this Democrat moment is
they believe it's like this summer of twenty twenty hangover. Okay,
twenty twenty was a tyranny of the minority. We all
watched George Floyd video and said that was bad. Don't
do that okay, But nobody in their right mind said,

(01:23:46):
you know what, no more cops. What we said is
bad cops need to be held accountable. But we need
to be mindful of the fact that ninety nine percent
of the cops are good cops. They're heroes, they're people
we should be thankful and grateful for every single day
that we get out of bed in this country. And
that's how most of us felt. But the Democrats and
a lot of their allies in corporate America in the
summer of twenty twenty, tried to make this about some

(01:24:07):
form of systemic racism, saying it wasn't Derek Chalvin who
knelt on George Floyd's neck, it was all of America.
You see, we've been systemically racist for so long we
don't even realize it. But this government is essentially the clan.
And that's what their pitch was. We gotta get rid
of Donald Trump because America is systemically racist. We're not
gonna have a guy in power who's been there three
and a half years as a part of our systemically

(01:24:29):
racist government.

Speaker 6 (01:24:29):
That's not right.

Speaker 3 (01:24:31):
We need to replace them with Joe Biden, who's been
part of the systemically racist government for fifty years. That
makes more sense, and you're like, wait, that's a scam.
But nobody really had that conversation. And what you're watching
now when the Democrat Party is an outgrowth from the
last time they held sway over this country. They were
forcing ideas on us, and in a lot of ways
they got away with it. The American Academy of Pediatrics

(01:24:53):
was like, schools need to be reopened. Kids are safer
in schools. Trump came out that summer and was like,
open the schools, at which point the Democrats are like, hell, no,
you can't go to schools. That's racist. People are gonna die.
And the American Academy of Pediatrics eventually rewrote their own
recommendation and to lead up to the election because they
weren't following actual science. It was political science. But the

(01:25:13):
point is in that moment they got away with it
because it was so much more about hating Trump than
it was about liking and helping your community. But now
we're in a place where people actually want deliverables, they
want a quality of life improvement. None of the Democrats
can give them to them, so their only response in
this moment is to sit around and offer you more
government entitlement and tell you anybody who's against it is

(01:25:36):
some form of a racist, and no one's listening anymore. Okay,
that's the bigger problem. It's like if DC goes twelve
days without a murder, the people in DC are like,
woo hoo, this is amazing. When a Democrat shows up
and goes, now, we're going to have a rally to
get rid of these troops. We need everybody to go
back to killing each other. And if you're against that,
you're a racist. Okay, they're failing to heed. Like the

(01:25:58):
most simplest lesson known to man, okay, is that when
it comes to our very survival, grace is not where
the line is drawn.

Speaker 6 (01:26:06):
Is God's side and the other side.

Speaker 16 (01:26:09):
So the show that connects you to people in high places,
it's like the most important man in the world standing
here and you've got a conversation going.

Speaker 3 (01:26:18):
Once you show you.

Speaker 4 (01:26:18):
Box across America with Jimmy.

Speaker 3 (01:26:20):
There, it is Fox across America with Jimmy Thayla trying
to hold this country together on radio broadcast at a time.
I'm in town all week this week. We don't go
back on the road till November and then it's a
really aggressive run. My goodness, gracious, that is going to
take us everywhere Indianapolis, We're going to be in Fargo,

(01:26:41):
We're going to be in Pittsburgh. We're going to be
in San Louis Obispo. We're gonna be in Vegas. We're
gonna be a West Palm Beach. All of these days.
You can get them at Foxacross America dot com. But
right now we're doing good old fashion radio. And the
word on the streets is Jerry Nadler. Jerry Nadler is

(01:27:05):
retiring from Congress. Good gosh, Jerry Nadler. Whoever replaces that
guy's going to have some pretty big diapers to fill.
But here is Nadler some of his greatest hits over
the years, Clip twenty.

Speaker 23 (01:27:16):
The president elect, although legally elected, is not legitimate.

Speaker 3 (01:27:20):
And when we have a pandemic like COVID nineteen pandemic
that we had, two year olds should have been required
to wear masks. It would be child abuse for parents
not to do that. And we need immigrants in this country.

Speaker 1 (01:27:35):
Forget the fact that the.

Speaker 23 (01:27:37):
Farm that our vegetables would rot in the ground if
it weren't if they weren't being picked by many immigrants,
many illegal immigrants.

Speaker 3 (01:27:48):
Do you condemn the attacks on ice agents?

Speaker 4 (01:27:51):
What attacks and ice ages?

Speaker 3 (01:27:53):
I mean, Jerry Nadler. Life is hard, but it's harder
when you're stoopid. So Nadler was a dirtbag, good to
easy punch line here in Fox because in Trump won.
When Trump won had his first administration as forty fifth,
was the forty fifth president, he used to refer to
Nadler as fat Jerry all the time, and they had

(01:28:14):
a real personal animus against them. And it goes back
to the eighties in real estate and in the eighties,
if you had a nickname, everybody used the nick you
know what I mean, if somebody called you, if Trump
called you fat Jerry. In the eighties, your kids called
you fat Jerry, your neighbors called you fetch. It's the
way nicknames were. It was just a tougher time, maybe
a better time, but there was always this personal animus.

(01:28:34):
So I'm waiting for the other shoot to drop because
Trump hasn't really said anything in the way of Nadler
announcing that he doesn't want to run again because of
the Biden thing, that's what he called it. But we
keep being told there was no Biden thing and the
guy was fine, and it's all a misunderstanding and he
never talks to dead people ever, you don't understand.

Speaker 13 (01:28:54):
God, save the queen man for a budget, just to
see if you guys know how to put a plan together,
and then we'll figure out if there's something here or
you're giving me my five thousand back.

Speaker 6 (01:29:04):
You had one shot to get it right.

Speaker 3 (01:29:08):
Oh hot damn. That is a promo from The Fixer,
which airs tonight at eight pm on the Fox Business Network.
Joining us now to discuss it. It's a long laundry
list of credits. I mean, you're all familiar with Camping
World and the Giant Flags, and I actually covered Bed
Bath and Beyond quite intensely last Saturday Night on my show.
So it's high honor to have you.

Speaker 6 (01:29:29):
Thank you for inviting me to the show now, it
was a.

Speaker 3 (01:29:31):
Big dealt me. The executive chairman of Bed Beth and Beyond,
the CEO of the Camping World, host of the new
episode of The Fixer airing tonight, Marcus Lamonis in studio.
The crowd goes wild. Great to see it.

Speaker 6 (01:29:42):
Where your show's doing well on Saturday Night?

Speaker 3 (01:29:44):
We're trying.

Speaker 6 (01:29:45):
I just want to like, have you as a lead.

Speaker 3 (01:29:47):
In Come on, I come on before the fixer wan No,
I need it? Yeah, how well, let's talk about this, okay,
because you're, you know, running the fixture and all these
big giant companies. As a former New York City cab driver,
I have functioned as a fixer and a lot of
different capacities in my youth. You know, people get in
the cabin all kinds of pinches and I've got to
kind of work it out.

Speaker 13 (01:30:07):
It's funny that you say that, because most people thought
that we were fixing something.

Speaker 6 (01:30:12):
Yeah, but we're not.

Speaker 13 (01:30:13):
The whole idea behind the fixer is to help you
get from A to B. And I have something in
my pocket that you don't know about, something in my
rolodex that you don't know about it.

Speaker 6 (01:30:21):
I'm going to connect you.

Speaker 13 (01:30:23):
And it came from I did a documentary in Lebanon,
which is where I'm from, and it came from when
I landed off the plane, the producers at the other
network not to be named.

Speaker 6 (01:30:34):
Said to me, this is your fixer.

Speaker 13 (01:30:37):
I was like, what is that?

Speaker 3 (01:30:38):
Yeah, the name stuck with me.

Speaker 6 (01:30:40):
I was like, I'm going to go with that.

Speaker 3 (01:30:41):
That's amazing. It's a great start. That's like, it's a
great story for me because it puts it at my
level because I always think of those stories about like
how songs get written and stuff like that. How many
years are your cab driver full time? Like seven? Licensed?
Like ten?

Speaker 6 (01:30:54):
Yeah? The medallion?

Speaker 3 (01:30:55):
Yeah, people start to talk after your third vehicular homicide.
You know it's the first two they give you someone
I'm kidding in the trunk. Yeah, you want to know something.
We filmed the prank, a taxi prank called Junk in
the Trunk Ones where we had a buddy in the
trunk yelling for help and I was picking up passengers
and driving along with the radio up like everything was fine,
and arguing with them like I don't hear anything. What

(01:31:15):
are you talking about? Is a comic named Chris Lake
or funny Kid? And we get to a red light,
we'd pop the trunk and he'd run down the street
and we got good reactions film in that prank.

Speaker 13 (01:31:23):
I have to tell you that I would like to
sponsor with I have no idea which business an actual
series where you bring that back.

Speaker 6 (01:31:33):
It's like it's like dead people in cars as opposed to.

Speaker 3 (01:31:37):
But they survived. They survived. We had a few of those.
We used to do things called the fast meter rodeo.

Speaker 4 (01:31:44):
Do you know what that is?

Speaker 3 (01:31:45):
So you turn the taxi meter on an out of
town rate and it just multiplied. It increases in multiples
of ten, like a surge. Yeah. So someone get in
your cab and they'd be in the cab three minutes
and they'd owe you one hundred and sixty eight dollars already,
and you just keep talking to them as if this
was normal, and this is where this thing was headed.
And see how long it took them to actually start

(01:32:05):
hurling expletives. It usually took like three and a half minutes.
It wasn't a joke, Yeah, no, no, it was. It
was we were just filming reactions. Yeah, because people would
lose their minds, like.

Speaker 4 (01:32:14):
I'm not paying you eight hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:32:16):
I'm like, dude, it's the ray. I wanted to do
what they told you, get you.

Speaker 6 (01:32:20):
They don't look at meism, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:32:22):
Screaming at you. So there's a little bit of a
little bit of an overlap there. But I love this
new series. We were talking about it this morning. Is
there a part of you that gets to this place
as successful as you are, where you're a dog that's
kind of caught its own car, so you want to
turn around and help people catch theirs. Is that what
this is born out of.

Speaker 6 (01:32:43):
I think it's a little.

Speaker 13 (01:32:45):
I think it's first of all, altruism should never be
at the center point of capitalism, So I think it's
it's always to make money.

Speaker 6 (01:32:52):
But I also like learning.

Speaker 13 (01:32:54):
Yeah, and that's the one thing that people have not
necessarily accepted as my answer. I go into these businesses,
I meet different people, and I learn a lot, and
I apply them to other businesses.

Speaker 6 (01:33:04):
I also find ways to open up new doors. But
truth be told at the end. Yeah. Do I like
giving people a shot that nobody else will give it to?

Speaker 4 (01:33:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:33:13):
All that works, I do, all right.

Speaker 6 (01:33:14):
I love that, But I'm gonna make money do it?

Speaker 4 (01:33:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:33:16):
Of course that a gift because you know what, otherwise
it's just fundamentally off when you talk about the business
aspect of this. Yeah, if it's just straight altruism, I
mean that's we're dealing with this in New York right now.
We have a guy running for meyor who's like, I'll
just give it away.

Speaker 6 (01:33:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:33:29):
No, that's not sustainable.

Speaker 13 (01:33:31):
That's not me and quite frankly, I'm not a parent.
That's the one part of my life that's maybe a
little different than most. It's an opportunity to teach people
tough lessons and to be uh, to.

Speaker 6 (01:33:41):
Be hard on them fair.

Speaker 4 (01:33:43):
That's good.

Speaker 3 (01:33:43):
We're talking to Marcus Lamonis. He's the executive chairman of
Bed Bath and Beyond.

Speaker 13 (01:33:46):
Like, I would love if you drove, Like if I
owned a cab company and you drove, I would love it.

Speaker 3 (01:33:51):
Really Yeah, wait, so this interview is going so well.
You can see me as a cab driver again, Well,
I could see us.

Speaker 6 (01:33:57):
Owning a cab. I could see us in it. I
could see only a cab company here though.

Speaker 3 (01:34:01):
That would work. We could run down I can tell
you how the revitalized the specifically the yellow cab industry.
This is real. Is what they should do with it
now is just calibrate it for tourism. For people who
want a personal tour guide that can show them things
in the city. They're not going to get out of
an uber or a way moo because the cab itself,
the street hail can't really compete with the convenience of

(01:34:23):
the app. And what happened is that bandwning was worth
a lot of money when it had kind of an
exclusive hold on the market. But when they came in
with Uber and left, which are fine, they didn't create
more passengers, they created more drivers, so it kind of
thinned out, you know, the herd in terms of people
doing this as a career as opposed to doing it
as like a gig, as an extra hours gig. And

(01:34:43):
I think the way you could turn a yellow cab
specifically back into a career is to give it a
more niche purpose than a street hail. That's my answer.
I don't know how we fix that though, but that's,
you know, for a another story, for another time. I
didn't mean to go one on one with a fixer,
but here we are.

Speaker 6 (01:34:57):
First God, I'm thinking I already had to be sist,
so I should stop. We should just move on. I
was thinking about it.

Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
I went from a taxi prag show to we're saving
tourism to there's just too much going on. What are
they going to see tonight on the ficture? What's happening?
What do they need to know?

Speaker 13 (01:35:11):
Well, first of all, I sent a note up to
the executive floor that I'd like to pick the clips
from now on because the clips aren't salty enough. Oh,
I get it, and the show's salty, and the show
has a lot of bite to it. And in tonight's episode,
it's a bit dicey for me because it's really I
deal with racism and I deal with a married black couple,

(01:35:32):
wonderful people.

Speaker 6 (01:35:33):
I love them to death. I'd still support them heavily.

Speaker 13 (01:35:36):
But they had a little bit, a little teeny bit
of victim syndrome that the world was betting against them
because of their race. And what I had to spend
time thinking about and how to communicate to them is
the world's betting against you because you're not doing the
right work, you're not performing, and we live in a meritocracy.
And that was a little dicey. The advertisers got really
uncomfortable really fast.

Speaker 3 (01:35:56):
But good for you, because I think one of the
biggest challenges I say this all the time is a
talk show host, is we hit this fork in the
road general relation generationally where we do have to make
a choice between victorhood or victimhood. And I think there's
a lot on the left. They're selling a lot of victimhood.
And the reason it frustrates me is I was a
cab driver. When Obama got elected, he literally ran on,

(01:36:16):
yes we can, and we're ten years removed from that
from him being in office telling them, no, you can't
telling everybody that, and that you can kind of outsource
your shortcomings to society. But the truth is you know
this better than anybody. The people getting ahead are getting
ahead because it is a meritocracy and there's no rule
that says you can't just outwork everybody else.

Speaker 13 (01:36:35):
No, I don't know what's going to happen here in
New York City, or we're going to try to take
minimum wages to thirty dollars and everybody's going to get
a bunch of free stuff. What concerns me is the
message that we're sending people that results don't matter. And
for those folks that get up every day like yourself
and grind it out at five am and stay up
till midnight and just trying to work to provide for

(01:36:55):
their family, they want an opportunity to make more money.

Speaker 6 (01:36:58):
And when you tell them that.

Speaker 13 (01:36:59):
They're going to be neutralized by the person who shows
up late and leaves early, and they're going to make
the same. Yeah, you're taking the American spirit and you're
crushing it. As an immigrant f I other people fought
for me to have the right to do that. Now
I feel like it's my responsibility to fight to make
sure that doesn't happen to other.

Speaker 3 (01:37:17):
People, which I think is really commendable. Give me this
the flag. We've spent a lot of time discussing the
flag on this show and other Fox shows.

Speaker 13 (01:37:25):
Is that what this is born out of the flag
is very simple, and a lot of people just hate
me for it, which I'm very disappointed by. It's my
love letter, you know, when you come here as an
immigrant from Lebanon and you're adopted by a wonderful family
and you're given a chance to have a roof over
your head, food on.

Speaker 6 (01:37:41):
The table, education, what you make of it's up to you.

Speaker 3 (01:37:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:37:44):
And the fact that I've been able to become successful financially,
become successful emotionally and provide that for other people.

Speaker 6 (01:37:52):
No one could ever take that away from me.

Speaker 13 (01:37:53):
And this started back in twenty seventeen in a small
town in North Carolina where I put the flag up.
I always had a flag in my business. I have
one when I used to make the profit we had one.
I put one up into business. When I had my
family's dealership in Miami, we put one up. My flags
tend to be a little larger. They're thirty two hundred
square feet. They're one hundred and thirty foot pole. Cost
me two hundred grand to put them up. I would

(01:38:16):
sell anything I had to to make sure that I
put them up, because when people drive by, like your
staff member in the hallway. The team member in the
hallway said, hey, we saw the flag.

Speaker 6 (01:38:25):
People know it. It's not about people don't rush in
and buy our vs. It's not the idea behind it.
When they see it, they know they're traveling this country.

Speaker 3 (01:38:32):
They get it, and they know you know, and they
know they're dealing with somebody.

Speaker 13 (01:38:35):
I want to go to jail for it, though, for real, No,
I really do. People have said you're going to get
arrested if a court tells you. And I'm in two
lawsuits right now, one in Greenville, North Carolina, one in Severeville, Tennessee,
and now apparently a third one in Claremont, Florida. And
they've said to me, if you lose the case and
you don't take it down, you will be held in
condemned to court and you will go to jail.

Speaker 6 (01:38:55):
And my response is that would.

Speaker 13 (01:38:57):
Be the greatest thing ever if I live my both
my parents adoptive parents are now gone.

Speaker 6 (01:39:01):
Now my mother would say, you should go to jail
for it.

Speaker 3 (01:39:04):
If you believe in it, that's awesome, good for you.

Speaker 6 (01:39:06):
Will you visit me?

Speaker 3 (01:39:07):
Yeah, I'd show up, put you broadcast there for via zoom,
which I do a zoom. I'm kidding.

Speaker 6 (01:39:12):
I'll make a deal. Okay, if I do go to
jail for it, we will do I'll do the We'll
do our first call. You will be my first call.

Speaker 3 (01:39:19):
It will be a call into a radio show. He's
gonna win a pair of concert tickets. Like he's not
getting out of jail. He's just gonna he's gonna go
Coasis at Medlife. He's gonna be the ninety ninth cod
that was me. I love I love all of this
so much because perspective, it's nothing is more badly needed
in this moment than perspective. And what I'm hoping is
we're going through this kind of societal recalibration, at least

(01:39:41):
in some corners of the universe where people are in
on the joke that if you live in this country,
you're doing okay. You know there's still account of that.
You know, there's a lot of people selling a big
government fix. Would you say the way to split that
difference okay between what I guess Trump is selling it
a little bit of what you just fled in California
because you took bed bath and on Alec California because

(01:40:01):
you felt like the government was complicating business.

Speaker 13 (01:40:04):
Now wasn't complicating making it impossible to make money, and
the idea behind businesses to make money and if you
can't make money, what are you doing?

Speaker 6 (01:40:12):
Because you're putting the rest.

Speaker 3 (01:40:13):
Of the enterprise at risk, And so you kind of
felt like it just wasn't sustainable in the sense that
you could have grinded it out, but there were better
places to day.

Speaker 6 (01:40:21):
Here's what I was hoping happened.

Speaker 13 (01:40:22):
I tried to take a real high road to really
an intellectual approach with the governor.

Speaker 6 (01:40:27):
And I didn't actually.

Speaker 13 (01:40:28):
Name him in the statement. I didn't call him out
for anything. I just said it's expensive to do business there.

Speaker 6 (01:40:33):
What I would have.

Speaker 13 (01:40:34):
Anticipated is a governor of a state, as he likes
to tell me several times, the fourth largest economy in
the world, would have said, Hey, listen, Marcus, what you're
saying is nonsense.

Speaker 6 (01:40:43):
I don't agree with you.

Speaker 13 (01:40:45):
I'm not going to spend time with you because you're
an idiot, but I'm going to sign a staff member, somebody,
just somebody talk about it at all.

Speaker 6 (01:40:52):
Instead, what I got back was.

Speaker 13 (01:40:54):
Snark and sarcasm and quite frankly, a high level of immaturity.
If you're seeking an extra if you're seeking an office
that's higher than the governorship, you have to be willing
to have conversations with people from foreign countries, from domestic businesses,
private citizens, willing to talk about things that you may
not necessarily agree with.

Speaker 6 (01:41:12):
Yep, he doesn't want to do that, and for me,
it was a fade, a complete for him.

Speaker 3 (01:41:16):
Good for you, and because it gives voice to a
lot of people who do feel that way but don't
necessarily have the guts to act on it. And is
it the repercussion, Yeah for sure.

Speaker 6 (01:41:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:41:25):
And I think that's something that's frustrated to me because
I cover this every day, is I'm watching a lot
of people try to fail upwards right now, they're trying
to become national names by establishing themselves as the face
of like an anti Trump resistance. Like nwsm's doing that
a little bit. They haven't really rebuilt most of California
in the aftermath of the wildfires. I know it's recent,
but if you see three hundred businesses like your own flea,

(01:41:46):
and you see a lack of a rebound from a fire,
and you see a guy deciding that I'll just give
Trump the finger on Twitter for six months and hopefully
become a bigger name, doesn't it kind of speak to
them being a little detached from their base obligation to
the people who elected them.

Speaker 13 (01:42:01):
If I was running his political campaign, I would continue
to focus on whatever beliefs I had, but I would
start to think intellectually about what was it that I
could do to attract people from the middle. And rationale
and reasonability and intelligence is.

Speaker 6 (01:42:17):
A good way to do that.

Speaker 13 (01:42:18):
Acknowledging that everything isn't right, including some of the decisions
that you've made. And I think he's landed in a place,
as others have where if they move off of hey,
I made a mistake.

Speaker 6 (01:42:28):
I'll give you a great example. This is controversial.

Speaker 13 (01:42:31):
When President Trump first was considering running for office, back
in I don't know whatever year that was, twenty sixteen,
I think, or fifteen. I was publicly critical of it,
and people have said to me today, Oh, you just
reversed your boot lucky, and you're doing all this stuff. Said, No,
I'm an older person. I'm a little smarter than I
used to be. I learned the lesson the hard way.

(01:42:52):
I've read a little more, I've talked to more people.
I'm entitled to change my opinion course, and the minute
that somebody changes their opinion and acknowledges that, I think
that people's respect for them, I think goes up to
be able to say that my thinking can.

Speaker 3 (01:43:06):
Evolve again and shows a lot more humility because a
lot of these people can't abandon the initial position, like
we're dealing we're dealing with this with crime right now.
There's a lot of people that are fighting a crime
crack down. And you can have an opinion one way
or the other. I live in Chicago, Oh so good.

Speaker 13 (01:43:20):
God, there's no there's nothing to fight about. Yeah, crime
is everywhere. The city is not what it used to be.
I live on Michigan Avenue. I had to close my
wife's business because she was ransacked twice, over a million
dollars of stuff taken. You know, she's scared to walk
on the street. I don't want to walk on the
street by myself. That's not an idea, that's real.

Speaker 6 (01:43:38):
I live there.

Speaker 13 (01:43:39):
You have a governor who's totally detached Springfield as a
dumpster fire, and you have a mayor that nobody wants there.
So as a as a citizen of that town, I
would say to President Trump, I would love for you
to send some people up. Yeah, you want to crack
some scalls and clean things up, please, because my business
may succeed, my property value may go up, and my

(01:44:00):
wife may feel safe.

Speaker 6 (01:44:01):
Those are good things.

Speaker 3 (01:44:02):
Yeah, Heaven forbid. And the idea I used to you know,
political opposition used to come with a basic decency where
issues like crime, because crime, you can make it a
political issue, but it's not. If fifty eight people got
shot in Chicago this weekend, nobody has any idea who
they voted for. That's a human life issues. Yes, nobody
has any idea, And that's what that basic decency clause
needs to be triggered. But I feel like we're missing
that right.

Speaker 13 (01:44:21):
I'm wondering why elected officials in towns that are struggling
in any capacity, financially, with crime, whatever it may be,
can't say to somebody I need help. And the sign
of a good leader is acknowledging what your strengths and
what your weak points are. And if I said to you, look,
I want to open up a business, I don't know
much about it.

Speaker 6 (01:44:39):
Can you help me, You're more willing to help me.
And it's less contentious.

Speaker 13 (01:44:43):
And it's not like people that are there that voted
for them are going to say I'm not going to
vote for you, not because you asked for help.

Speaker 3 (01:44:48):
Yeah, think about happen. That's a great point, and I
think in a roundabout way, sixteen minutes after we started,
what we're trying to tell the Brandon Johnson's, JB. Pritzkers
and gavenusms of the world is to watch The Fixer
on FBN tonight.

Speaker 6 (01:45:00):
We're trying to tell them.

Speaker 3 (01:45:00):
I think that's the answer.

Speaker 6 (01:45:01):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (01:45:02):
I mean, you watch The Fixer. There's only one takeaway.
We are the world, we are the children. I just
wrote that line myself, so inspired by sit Down.

Speaker 6 (01:45:09):
I wanted to finish the song, but I'm not going.

Speaker 3 (01:45:11):
Yeah, it's for the best just watch the Fix at
Night of eight. Marcus Lamona is the greatest. Will do
it again.

Speaker 6 (01:45:15):
Thank you, buddy.

Speaker 16 (01:45:17):
If you're listening to Fox Across America with Jimmy Faler,
that's my name. Don't wear now, Jimmy Faaler.

Speaker 3 (01:45:26):
I thought Fox Across America with Jimmy Fayala wrapping up
a three hour audio masterpiece brought to you by the
fine folks at Prevagen, which is for your brain. We
don't know if President Trump took the Previgen before he
announced the plan today at the White House to move
Space Command from Colorado to Alabama, but we can tell
you that Space Force Command, the Space Force Command Center,

(01:45:48):
is moving from Colorado down to Alabama, hopefully a little
closer to Huntsville, with any luck, where we performed last year.
We love it down there in Huntsville. Good living, they've
got the good rockets, they've got Space Camp. It all happens.
But the president is governing like he doesn't understand. He
gets four years. And there's a part of me that

(01:46:10):
appreciates that most people get elected by running on some
heavy issues, and then minute they get into office, they
stop doing anything to solve the problem and they start
trying to fundraise off the issue. That's just how white
folks will do you. I don't doubt there's all kinds
of fundraising going on in the Republican Party. But no
one can dispute the fact that this is not an

(01:46:31):
administration that has sat on its hands. Okay, they have
done everything. This guy was on the roof two weeks ago.
They repaved the Rose Guard, They've hosted half of the
EU at the White House. They've kicked Zelenski out, they've
let him back in. It's been bananas. It's been bonkers,
and the border secure. The economy's doing a little better,

(01:46:52):
so Wild Entertainment, and we do have a lot to
show for it. But this show is over. Pay up,
get out. We'll see you back here again tomorrow for
the winner.
