Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go, Here we go for the greatest country
in the world. It is Fox Across America with Jimmy Paylop.
We are celebrating the two hundred and forty ninth birthday
of the greatest source of good the world has ever known.
I am talking about the good old US and A
and in this hour Steve Hilton, a man who's running
for governor out in California and can hopefully.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Turn that bus around.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
He's going to join us, plus my on again off
again best friend in the media, Lara Trump, closing out
the show. She has graciously waived her appearance fee, trimmed
back her rider just a little bit, and we'll have
Lara Trump here to close it out as we celebrate
America on this special holiday weekend edition.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Of Fox Across America. Great to see you.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
But you know what I was doing before, you know,
just to get on the right level. I was eating
my first meal of the day, a pack of cheesus Jesus,
which is perfect.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
I think, No, we're synced up.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Because I if you look at me, I look like
I get paid in cheese. Its so it's perfect.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Like you're right, Love, I'd love a gig like that
right on the dream come truth.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
It's actually solid, okay, But I I did have to
be upfront with our audience that we have a bit
of a different history in terms of how we arrived
in the studio today. You're a guy working at ten
Downing Street when I was reading Perfect ten magazine, which
no one should google on their work computer. But the
fact is you're here in America and it's all working,
and you happen to be a Californian, Yes, who understands

(01:19):
that the shiny city on the hill is now a
fixer upper on each GTV for all intents and purposes.
That's being polite, I mean, like you, Well, let's dry
a distinction here, because I on the back of your book,
on the jacket of the book, it lists several things
highest poverty rate, highs on employment rate, wors, homeless crisis,
highest housing costs, lowest home ownership, highest taxes.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
But getting past that, everything else is great. What's puss here? Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:42):
So here's the way of thinking about it. Everything not
touched by the government is great.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
The beach is a great The.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Scene reaches the landscape the Sierra's wine country. When you
drive around, business is a great you know, you go
to individual companies, it's all fantastic. Everything touched by the government.
He's a total disaster.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Guys, do you know those slapstick comedies where like the
paramedics arrive and they picked the guy up and hit
his head and then they turn him around and bump
into a wet paint sign. It's like it's it's like
psych eggs. That's the government. That's what they've done exactly.
And you have written a book about how to turn
this bus around. I'm holding off for the Fox Nation
cameras Cali failure, reversing the ruin of America's worst run state.

(02:22):
I have been told that your publicist is so powerful
that you are going to be on Fox News Saturday
night this weekend.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Is that true? It's an incredible achievement.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
I think actually that is the journey that startsed in
ten Downing Street. That was the inevitable, the inevitable end point,
Like how much further and higher can you go than that?

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Mister Prime Minister Dave Cameron.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
You know, there's a guy on the other side of
the world that drives a taxi and.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Gets paid in cheese.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
It's and I'm gonna be on his show, sir, and
you're just a stepping stone. Yeah, how is he? How
is he even handling you? Eclipsing him on this level
because this is a big deal.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Well, also he had to to brexit, so you know,
it's just been downhill for him, but for me, it's.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Been clearly exactly what a wild ride.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
We're talking to the great Steve Hilton on a semi
serious level. Though, when I look at California, it is
the prettiest state in the country, hands down. My family
will spent a lot of time there. We've done the North,
the South. We've drown during the pch We frequently have
the cops called on us at Kennedy's house in the Palisades.
Funny thing about being on Foxes. The cops show up
and then they asked to take selfies, which is cool.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
It's true. You get the right cops.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
They like us well because we're and now I shouldn't
say this, you know when I was it happens when
let me put put it this way, when you're speeding,
sometimes you can get you can get you can get certain.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
I would say a more positive reaction if you let.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Me put it like that, and it doesn't mean we
abuse the privilege, but I will have you know it's
a great story. We were in Nashville for a Fox production.
If you ever had a song, when the song is
new in your life, you like it so much, you
kill it. You listen to it five hundred times in
two days. So in the process of violating the Geneva
Convention on the song, I mean just murdering this song
in horrific ways. And at two in the morning in

(04:07):
my Nashville hotel, I get to bang it on the door.
It swings open. It's a company goes no f and way.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
I was like, yeah, I guess you're not gonna arrest me.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
He's like, you gotta turn this down. We'll take a selfie.
He's like, but I should probably take this from me.
And I was like, not, I'll take the fine. It's okay.
And to his credit, he didn't take it, but I
did turn it down also at the point exactly nice
and the.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Same exactly we respect, thank you, no enforcement and everywhere
right we do.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
But that's why they appreciate Fox is because we have
stood with Lauren Force exactly, and we've stood with Israel.
That's where a lot of our viewership growth has come
from on the West Coast as people realized we were
the only ones here that weren't pitching a tent at
our colleges.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
It's amazing. Funnily, I just in the last two weeks,
by coincidence, I've done two events, Like one was the
Republican Jewish Coalition, the there was David Horowitz Freedom Okay,
but both in LA And it's really interesting. I don't
think we even appreciate how much it means to in
a place like that, where you're surrounded by this insane
anti Semitic kind of garbage, to have people you know,

(05:08):
publicly standing up for Israel just means a lot to people.
I'm proud to do I would do it anyway, but
it's nice to get that feedback. Yeah, it's crazy to me.
We talked to the Great Steve Hilton.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
The book cal of Failure available for order everywhere, and
I always laugh because you know, they've always used the
threat of political violence is like a cudgel, meaning a
left wood set. Yes, hey, there's all this rabbit anti
Semitic Nazi stuff on the right, but it is actually
their party that's doing this. I mean and that's probably
why Joshapiro wasn't the VP. That and the fact that

(05:37):
he wanted a future in politics.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
He's like, I'm not why he really dodged that one.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
D me. He was the one reminding people he was Jewish.
She's like, you know, dearborn Michigan's not going to vote
for me.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
That's pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
But when we talk about your state and the and
the myriad problems facing your state, I think the biggest
argument against big government is made by the state of California.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
It's so true. I mean, funny enough this week, right,
we see what's going on. We've been talking a lot
about the Democrats right and how all the energy seems
to be on the left. You've got ridiculous people like
Chasmin Crockett. You've got AOC Bernie. They're going on about
the crowds. They're getting the AOC Bernie agenda.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
That's what we have in California.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Like you could look at the outcome, you don't have
to imagine what it would be like.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yes, with Bernie in charge, a great point. Come to California.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
That's a great point. You know, I always tell people
this about Minnesota. I say, if you ever wonder what
Canada would look like if America took it over. It's
actually just Minnesota. You see a lot of hunting, a
lot of lakes, a lot of stuff like that. But
California to your point, and when you talk about the
fallout from the wildfires, I mean, these are the most
heavily taxed people in the world. Yes, and they're being
told in real time that the government doesn't have the
resources for the most basics of a cobbligation.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Like that's unacceptable, it's unbelievable. You've got like in the
and we did the work for the book. You know,
like just look at some of the numbers. In the
last ten years, the budget of the state of California
has nearly doubled after inflation. The population has been full,
and everything is worse, and there's no water in the
fire hydrant, so like where.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Is the money going. It's just unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
That's the craziest part is I always tell people you
can look at a state like a restaurant. If there's
a line to get in, it's probably good restaurant. There's
a line to get out. Yes, those are some tough
YELP reviews.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
It's the same thing you used to talk about the
different you know, in the Cold War, like how many
people are sort of trying to escape from the West
into the Eastern Bloc.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah. In my family, my parents are Hungarian.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
They came to the West because it's better than under communism.
And that's the same, right, You're seeing now hundreds of
thousands every year leaving California for Tennessee and Florida and
basically everywhere.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Else there skip in town and it's you know, it's
said to me because I'm a guy.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
I grew up rooting for California. I grew up here
on the East Coast.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
But what happens is, I think whatever the country is
you grow up in, there's certain cities you just see
on TV your entire childhood and you kind of romanticize them. Yes,
you know, so like Detroit, I know anything about it.
But Tom Selleck had Tiger's had in Magnum p. I
so I Detroit. Yeah, No, he was actually out in
like Hawaii, Yeah he was. I love Detroit growing up
as a kid because I thought Hawaii was Detroit.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
That I went to Detroit for a.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Stand up gig and I was like, well, it's a
little different. Than the Tom Seleg's days. But the point
is now cities like San Francisco, which are gorgeous esthetically,
were gorgeous and they kind of just.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Let go of.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
But here's my question as someone you know, people talk
about there's polls out there the sixty nine percent of
Californias would consider voting for something other than a Democrat,
which is not common in this generation. Yeah, okay, but
it leaves a door open for somebody like yourself who's
talked about running for governor California. But my question to
you is, if you're the actual governor of California, is
it a lesser is more approach in that you don't

(08:38):
actually have to take over the government and do a
million things.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
You kind of have to get out of the.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Way, You have to stop doing things, but you do
have to get rid of the bureaucracy. When you look
at all those things that are going wrong, the fact
that we got the highest housing costs, of the highest
prices for everything gas, electricity, water, it's because they've got
this unbelievable, bloated, big government, nanny state bureaucracy, like telling
everyone what you I used to run a restaurant in London, right,
that business is tough enough year anyway. I talked to

(09:05):
a restaurant owners now in California.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
I don't know how they do.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
It, Like the Unbelieva, the labor regulations, the environmental regulars, permits, taxes, fees, everything, right,
You've got to take an axe to that bloated bureaucracy
in California.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
And I think it's the biggest challenge they faced. We're
talking to the great Steve Hilton. The book it is
called Califf Failure. It is everywhere.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
He even graced me with a copy.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
And I want to talk about it really quick though,
because Fox Nation is looking at it. It essentially would
be what resembles a parody of the Hollywood Sign. But
it's so well done. And I didn't have any say.
When I was designing my book. They're like, listen, chubs,
get on the cover, hold up your little book. It's
gonna be fine. Someone deserves a lot of credit for this.
It really came out so good.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
I did that? Is that true?

Speaker 1 (09:46):
See? I wasn't putting you on the spot in case
you had to, you know, unless that is it's really
well done and it's really well throwed out because it
illustrates there's a unity yang to this. Like I was saying,
the potential of California is unparalleled in this country. But
what they're doing when you know, and what it reminds
me of and I'm going to take it full California.
You don't have to be a sports fan to follow this.
The Lakers won a bunch of NBA titles with Shaquille

(10:07):
O'Neil and Kobe Bryant. They were iconic Steve Hilton, but
there were coaches who managed to lose with that team
for several years, meaning they had the potential interesting, it
just wasn't being run properly. So when people go, ah,
you know, Phil Jackson came in and he won with
those guys, and he had Michael John. You could say
he had players, but the point is there were people
who had those same players who didn't win. So you
are essentially as a guy who could be running California

(10:30):
someday taking over the Lakers. And the good news is
they do have a lot of talent. The bad news
is the front office has to go. It's exactly right.
I think it's a great comparison. It is the most
amazing place still.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
I lived there. I love California. It's incredible. We got
so much potential. But even with all this crap, right,
we are still today the fifth biggest.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Economy in the world.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
If you have California is the country, it'd be the
world's fifth biggest economy. Now imagine where we could be
without all this We'd be like totally dominant. W'd be
the we'd overtake India, Germany, it'd be amazing. And that's
good for the whole country. And that's really the point
I want to make, is not just good for California.
If we have it, succeed and stop this ridiculous nonsense,
it's good for the whole country.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
And that's one thing that's worth noting is like when
we come at this from the standpoint of we are
supposed to be United States, you know, you kind of
lose that because we're in a real partisan era of politics.
But you know this from living in other countries. It
doesn't matter which one you're in. As the country goes,
you go okay. There's very few examples of the country
going south and you being okay, which is why people

(11:30):
leave these places. So what you're talking about in a
roundabout way is that rising tide that would lift all boats,
California being a pretty good tide. Granted most of it
is you're in on a sidewalk, But the point is, Okay,
if you're lucky EI the best case scenario depending on
the neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Okay, but I know, I laugh.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
I think the potential is so vast and I'm rooting
for you what And I am rooting for the state
because I've seen both versions of New York. I grew
up in the version of New York with Old Times
Square was where like Seal Team six went to get scared,
I'm not going down forty second Street that I got
nice under Giuliani. Now we're going through that like behind
the music phase again where this band clearly had a

(12:10):
lot of hits, but you know they're out of shape
now it doesn't quite look the same. So we kind
of need the same makeover that you're proposing in California.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
So maybe we hit it at the same time.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
I mean, that's where America would really be back, is
when it's crown Jewel cities flourished exactly.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
There's a line in.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
The in the book that I feel and I say
it when I'm on the road talking to people, which
I really mean, California means to America, what America means
to the world, like that, that inspiration, that symbol of
adventure and opportunity and the rebel spirit, all that stuff
that we think of as American California should be the
best expression of that.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
I did that.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
I mean, when you think about American pop culture, the doors,
when you think of the Beach Boys, they're now the
beach persons, I believe.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
I think in the modern you can't call them boys.
But definitely no.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
I saw them funny enough July the fourth, maybe not
last year, the year before, we watched them at the.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Would Bolt my works. It was cool. Wow, you're definitely
right about the boys thing. That's funny.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Well, I laughed, because again, so much of our pop
culture is predicated on California.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
It's funny. I grew up.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
We were there used to be a show called Beverly
Hills nine o two oh, obviously, and that was that
just own TV, like in my high school years. And
it was a sharp contrast from Levittown one one seven,
five six.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
They like driving ferraris and hanging out. They didn't make
a show about that.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
No, no, we were. We weren't driving the friars. We
were sniffing the gas they put into their car. It
was a slightly different dema. We wouldn't do that in California.
It's so expensive, you can't know. Everyone talks about the commuters.
No one talks about the gas sniffers and a governor
Hilton would get guests back.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
You make it excess, may get affordable.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Make America gas again, I think, is what the slogan
was supposed to be.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
It's a typo. Uh. I can't wait to continue this
on Saturday night. This is a big deal. It's gonna
be fun, all right. I do believe you're coming. I don't.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
It's gonna be great. The book Cali Failure, Reversing the
ruin of America's worst run state. The author and designer
of the cover, Steve Hilton, will always have this.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
How about this one?

Speaker 1 (14:11):
To close the show on, Kat Camick, who appears on
this show as much as anybody, just announcing seconds ago
at the White House as she is pregnant.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
With Cat Cammick.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Kat Cammick, how about the good people are breeding again?
And also Kat Camick, stop it? We love Kat Camick.
She's the best. She's on the show an awful lot.
She's a great guest on Fox News Saturday Night. In fact,
the last time I saw Cammick, we had Rich the
Oli from w PHT Danny Polishak who joins us every
Friday on this show, and we had taped a live

(14:46):
episode Fox New Saturday Night. It was during the election,
and then we hung out here in Times Square. We
went to like a local Times Square bar and I
mean shut it down. And she definitely wasn't pregnant then,
because I do think I'll all was served. I'm telling
you wait too much. Not that we drank a lot,
but we were just there. We would talk him and gosh,

(15:06):
I wish I knew who else was on the show.
It was not the Johnny Damon week where he stole
the yellow jacket. Johnny Damon. I know you listen to
the show. He has the yellow jacket, if anybody's wondering,
But it was it was like that week or the
week after, and we hung out and I had Jenny
and we talked. I honestly feel like we were there
till like seven in the morning, and then some people
went out to breakfast.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
But it was.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Actually it was one of those things. You know, I
always tell you the lawmakers you hear on this show
have to be the same person when I meet them
off the air that they are on the air, or
I never book them again, because I came to find
out pretty quickly in the very minimal access I've had
to politics political power, that there are a lot of
people on TV who are saying one thing and really
don't care when they're off the air. Like that's where

(15:47):
I'm pretty up from with you. I don't feel bad
about shaaring my opinions with you because they're my real opinions. Well,
you know, not going to give you a fake one
on the air that's different from the one I share
with you off the air. And Camick is one of
those people. I remember we hung out. I said this
about Byron Donald's too. They were backstage at my stand
up show just I mean, after I had just done
an hour and twenty five minutes of just insane debauchery

(16:08):
on a stage, Q and A's dirty jokes, anything you
could think of, and I was talking to Byron and
Erica Donald's about this state of education in this country
in the green room, and I was like this so
doesn't need to be going on right now. I'm like
Ryan Reese the opening act was halfway to the Dollhouse
or wherever the hell he was going with his winnings, and
these two were sitting there talking to me about the

(16:28):
state of education.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
And I left there that night being like, Oh, I
get it.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
These actual people got into politics because they want to
help other people, and I haven't met a ton of that.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
You know, Kat Camick is one of those people.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
She sat down and I remember this conversation so vividly
because we talked about tours of the Capitol and how
she likes to give tours of the Capitol and she
likes to give people a sense of this historic obligation
you feel if you're a legitimate member of Congress is
trying to like pass legislation and help people. And we
talked about that for like hours, hours and it stuck

(17:01):
with me. And that's really impressive when you think about
just how many substances we consume when we get done
taping a Saturday night TV show.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
How about Steve.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Hilton, Man, it'd be great if he could be the
governor of California. I mean, it'd be great if anybody
could be the governor of California besides Gavin Newsom. They've
really made a mess out of that place. Don't get
me wrong. I like a nice stolen iPhone as much
as the next guy, but it does become problematic if
you try to connect it to actual service and use it.
So I'm all for paying retail despite the higher prices
than you pay when you get goods on Riot under

(17:32):
Gavin Newsom. But joining us next is not a woman
interested in running for governor. She's a woman whose father
in law is the current sitting president of the United
States of America. I'm talking about Lara Trump and she
joins me next on Fox Across America.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Oh hot, damn.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
If the crowd sounds fired up, it's because it is
joining us now in studio, which we don't usually do.
It a lot for our own safety, just because this
guest is I consider a bit of a menace.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
And I'll get into why.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
But she has the newly minted host of the Fox
News nine pm slot on Saturday nights. It's called My
View with Lara Trump, and Lara Trump is here.

Speaker 5 (18:06):
Hot, dare you've tried to keep me away because you
know it can get a little crazy in here.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
It's all just to be clear. All of that security
outside right now.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Is for me. It's not you, It's for me.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Like I don't know how Trump's going to do it
in studio this time. Do you know the last time
you were in the studio was you were the first
guest on the showmatched ninth twenty times you were the
first guest, and.

Speaker 6 (18:25):
We're going to hind it today. It's all over. I
just kid, Do you want to laugh?

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Though?

Speaker 1 (18:30):
You had such a profound impact on the show that
we were sent home for six months of lockdown the
next day.

Speaker 6 (18:37):
See the power that Trump's have. Look at that.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
That's what I mean.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
You talk about changing the country. It was Fox across
America when it launched. The next day, it was Fox
across Zoom because you all.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
I mean, one of the things I look back on
in that infancy stage of the show when you and
I were talking about like Tiger King and everything in between,
is looking back, I realized that my drinking was bad
when I got kicked out of a Zoom cocktail party,
Like you gotta be a special kind of.

Speaker 6 (19:03):
Low lives when you cross the line of lie.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Sorry, bro, we got a.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
MUCA, we got a mucha so Saturday night. This is
a huge deal. People are really excited. Oh, it is
a thing. I am like kind of like your I
don't want to say I'm your flavor flave to your
Chuck Day because I don't have my clock on today.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
I am a bit of a loud Trump hype.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, because I know you through our interviews over the
years as being real. And that's what I'm trying to
explain to people are like, what's the show going to be? Like,
I'm like, you are getting like the most human of
humans who comes on. He used to talk on my
show about rap and natty lights. I don't know that
you're doing the beer segment to kick off the show.
But the point is you're a real person and you're
gonna have real conversations. Is that what we are to believe?

Speaker 6 (19:40):
That's what you ought to believe.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (19:42):
Look, I think the funny thing about me is that
I have the last name Trump.

Speaker 6 (19:47):
I've had it for a long time.

Speaker 5 (19:48):
I'm obviously part of this really incredible family. But I
started out probably like most people in America, and I
grew up like most people in America, and so I
find that I'm a very relatable person for sure. But
the show itself will be about the people who you
hear about all the time. You see their names out
in the news. They're doing all the big things in
this country, making the great change, But who are they?

(20:10):
It's the backstory to them, It's their personal stories. It's
an in depth look at these agencies and what's going
on and really the people who are changing.

Speaker 6 (20:18):
Our country right now.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Stop it, Lara Trump is in studio. This never this
never happens, and.

Speaker 6 (20:23):
Worry Adidas taboo.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
You are your rocket, but.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
You have swag, you have street cred, you record music,
you do those things.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
You're part of the culture.

Speaker 6 (20:30):
You're not scared of anything.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Let me ask you this because it must be unique
cause you talk about carrying the Trump name. Okay, you
have the wind at you're back now? Is a Trump
in a way that's very unique to the president's time
in politics. You know, they were probably a headwind at
the beginning, but as people started to pay attention to
the impact he was having on the country, you guys
are a v trendiest brand in America right now.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Is it weird to have people behind you.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Or is it you knew they were there all along
and just couldn't say so.

Speaker 5 (20:57):
So there's a little bit of both. To be honest
with you, it is very different, and it's almost to
say that it's kind of like weird to have the
people there. Yeah, it's a little uncomfortable because you're kind
of like, wait a minute, I'm.

Speaker 6 (21:08):
Not used to this.

Speaker 5 (21:09):
I'm not used to having, you know, Mark Zuckerberg sitting
behind me at the inauguration like that didn't that was
on the Bengo card for me. But it's amazing, and
I feel like a lot of the people are what
you said.

Speaker 6 (21:21):
They were there.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
They wanted to come out and be supportive of Donald Trump,
but we had canceled culture and we had people who
were just truly afraid to voice their opinions.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
It's funny, so when you say cancel culture, you're basically saying,
the guy who wrote the book, cancel Culture Dictionary, save
this country. And I appreciate you directly crediting me with
saving our republic.

Speaker 6 (21:39):
It's yours.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah, take it.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
You know, your father in law might have ushered in
the Golden Age, but it wasn't possible without the Golden Page.
See Cancel Culture dictionary my book. Folks like, if you
like reading it a third grade level, my book. That's
why my book was the best seller. Anyone can read it.

Speaker 6 (21:54):
It's very easy.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
They literally they gave it to kids in place of
those Seed Dick and Jane run books. They're like, no,
I just read the Jimmy Pailey thing. It's a little
bit easier for you. And it was a smash hit.
Larry Trump, as your new show is going to be, so,
is there anything you can tell me, because I know
we were not doing this till Saturday. Do you have
an idea of who's going to be on the show
or anything like that?

Speaker 6 (22:13):
I sure do.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
You may have heard that a gentleman named Mark Cuban
Scott said that Donald Trump would never surround himself with intelligent,
strong women, and it turns out he actually does. You're
looking at one of them right now where you're listening
to me or.

Speaker 6 (22:25):
Whatever you're doing.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Huh.

Speaker 5 (22:27):
But the people who are ushering in this great change,
most of them, a.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Lot of them are a lot of women in the cabinet.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
So some of these women who helped put Donald Trump
in the White House, who have these big roles in
his administration, are sitting down with us.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
I say this all the time. You know, my wife
grew up. My wife grew up on a dairy farm.
Somebody's playing something was that our computer? That was fantastic
a song? But it was like a song like we
were going to dance to a big band waltz.

Speaker 6 (22:53):
Do you want to dance? You don't want to ask me,
because we can.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
I've been building up to this for five years, since
the day I can finally measure stop.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
But I roll like a legit six one. Do you
know that?

Speaker 6 (23:08):
Excuse me? No, for I got some height, a little
heel on the boot.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
That's enough out of it. She just desantist my boot collection.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
I didn't deserve that. It was a cheap shot from
larr Trump. No, there'll be no dancing, But will there
be music on your show? Have we worked this outage?

Speaker 5 (23:23):
I think there are going to be some unique and
interesting things. We're gonna do a little Q and A
from the audience on the show. We are to send
us your questions. I answer anything, and I do this
on a podcast that have called the Right View. So
I have the right view, and I have my view,
and I don't see the questions beforehand.

Speaker 6 (23:38):
I just take them as they come.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
I'll talk though it because it's called trusting your average. Folks,
everybody listening to this right now does things well in
life that you sometimes overthink. Just trust your average. Just
lean in and do them. It's not going to be
all right at it. Which brings us to happy hour.
I'm kidding, there's no drinking.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Talk to them. I got Mikey and studio. It's a mess.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
It's a whole liability onto itself. But America is in
a unique moment, like we are partying again as a country,
Like there is a civic pride, Like if you watched
the Daytona five hundred, do you watch a super Bowl?
The President showing up there got the reception of like, hey,
it's cool to root for the country again. I think
it's cool because you and I grew up in this.
We grew up in the eighties, like you know, in
the eighties nineties, it was like, actually cool to like

(24:18):
the country.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Isn't it fun? It's like it's just an easier way
to exist.

Speaker 5 (24:20):
It's so nice to exist in a place where we're
all proud of our country. And yeah, I remember, actually
one of my most vivid memories in elementary school was
being able to raise and lower the American flag that
was reserved for the fifth graders, and I practiced it
at home with my parents so many times before I
got the opportunity because.

Speaker 6 (24:38):
I thought that was cool because I respected the flag.
Yeah we're back there now, man.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
You can raise the flag again. I was in you
know what I was in. I never got to do
the flag. I was in safety patrol, oh where you
were like a pretend cop. They give you a badge
like country.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Crossing guard. Well it wasn't real lawn like real law enforcement.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
I always say like, I would have been a cop
if it weren't for this thing called the background. You
know that every time, like wait, wait, you're gonna look
into what this.

Speaker 6 (25:04):
Thank you for your time, gentlemen, resume real quickly.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
But I was safety patrol, and I grew up in
that similar era where it was cool to roof for
the country. And I think you represent that evolution because
conservative women, this matters.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
My wife, Jenny flu comes on my show a lot.
She grew up in Ohio.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
She's like you, She's tall and great, but Jenny doesn't
have a lot of self esteem, which is how we
lasted as long as we did. Like, if Jenny has
your self esteem, she's probably married to another Trump or
someone successful. But lo and behold, we broke her down
just enough to stick around. What conservative women would you
not say? Became the punk rock of political pop culture.

(25:39):
It was the coolest thing to be was a conservative woman?

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Was it not?

Speaker 6 (25:42):
Absolutely?

Speaker 5 (25:43):
And just in general, conservatism has become like the counterculture,
like this is the cool place to exist.

Speaker 6 (25:50):
Now if you look at.

Speaker 5 (25:51):
The election results, people will look and see that it's
the young people in this country who came out and
voted in a big way for Donald Trump. That's unheard
of a Republican when have we seen that? But yeah,
I do think it started with a lot of conservative women.
A lot of us are moms, a lot of us
are concerned about what our kids are eating. We got
our FK junior confirmed for h test. A lot of
us want to know that we're leaving a great country

(26:11):
to our future generation. And so yeah, I think that
this kicked us off.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Maybe we'll take it all right, Well, you open the can,
so I'll take it there, you versus r f K,
And we're going to go like it's the old school
physical fitness test they used to subject to get president.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
Which, by the way, I want every time I got
every patch to represent it.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yes, good for you.

Speaker 6 (26:29):
I'm not doing a hanging all. I'm doing the pull up.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
You're doing a real pull up. Yeah, that's what I
was going to ask you. You versus r FK. Who wins
the pull up contest?

Speaker 6 (26:37):
Oh? A pull up contest?

Speaker 2 (26:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (26:39):
He looks like he's got some lats on him though.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
I'm not together.

Speaker 5 (26:42):
But I will say this, if we did a Spartan race,
which incorporates cardiovascular like running and strength elements and coordination,
I don't know, I may have them. I'm just going
to throw it out there for for Bobby if he's listening.

Speaker 6 (26:55):
And you know he is, I mean, he always do this.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
I've been told this is pretty much we're wired listening
in the White House at this point. That's why there's
no pressers in the third hour of our show. Like
You's like, come on, we're going to listen to this.
You versus Bobby and a pull up contest? Or wait,
you said it was a Spartan race. Is that the
thing too, where you like flipped tires.

Speaker 5 (27:12):
Over sometimes like a like a big mutter or whatever.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
The heck have you done a tough mutter?

Speaker 5 (27:17):
Sure have I did it a New Jersey and it
was about like ten degrees out.

Speaker 6 (27:21):
It was terrible.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Stop it. Yeah. Do you want to know what's so funny?

Speaker 1 (27:24):
When I was a cab driver in New York, Okay,
I drove a dude to a tough matter. There was
a like city field. But New Yorkers are so like
out of their minds. I had no idea. That's why
I just assumed this guy was muddy because he had
like a bad night out and got.

Speaker 6 (27:37):
Beat up after.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Yes, he was a disaster.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
I mean, it wasn't the top five craziest things I
saw in my cab that day. Of course, do you
know I had a beer drinking goat in my cab.
Do you know this story? Guy got in my cab.
I was on Houston Street. It's like six thirty in
the morning. He got in with a goat and he's
a clay Henry, the beer drinking goat. He drinks a
long neck bottle of the beer. I don't know how
legitimate the story is, but he gives the guy a
bottle of beer and the drank a bottle of beer. Wow.

(28:01):
And as you'd imagine the climbate at the time, like
I looked a him was like, oh my god, a
beer drinking goat.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
He was like, oh my god, a white cab driver.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Nobody believed the other guy, like when I get oh
my failure was like you didn't meet one of them,
and his family was like, yeah.

Speaker 6 (28:13):
That doesn't exist. Wait a minute. That, by the way,
can I give you credit?

Speaker 5 (28:17):
Because I remember back in the days when people were
taking cabs and not just ubers everywhere.

Speaker 6 (28:21):
And I had just gotten my dog, Charlie.

Speaker 5 (28:23):
Who shout out to Charlie's about to turn fifteen years old.

Speaker 6 (28:25):
Stop, he's the og at my house.

Speaker 5 (28:26):
Yeah, no cab driver would pick me up with a dog.
They'd be like, no dogs, and I'd be like, no, but.

Speaker 6 (28:31):
I need to go.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
No, you take the dog.

Speaker 6 (28:32):
You're taking up goats, please.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Jerry Fala hold live stock. I love it, but that's
what you're getting. In the Fox New Saturday night TV line,
we are and I have it on pretty good authority
that Levin will drive your pet anywhere. Mark Levin is
gonna be on at eight o'clock.

Speaker 6 (28:47):
Is that right? He's a big animal.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
I don't know that he co signs this. I'm just
throwing it out there. He's gonna kick my ass when
I see him. But that's fine.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
He's the great one. He can do whatever.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Wash your cad, dude. We're so excited for you, like
this is it is a high honor. I think it's
a little much that you're can dedicate win beneath my
wings to me at the end of your show. But
I don't. I think it's too much. Honestly, just let
me do my show, you'll do yours. Let me ask
you this us being in the same lineup, are you
gonna have a take exception to some of my wardrobe choices?

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (29:12):
I think I'm very excited for the world.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
It's gonna be okay.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, because I said, you know, we dress I always
say like I dress like a figure skater who let
himself go, like I won the gold medal at like
nag and O like twenty years ago.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
And I haven't changed the fashion. I've just changed the
fitness workout.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
So maybe that's.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
The goal for this lineup, is you're going to dominate
and maybe my outfits will look like I should be
wearing them. See you know what I mean, because that's
right now, thank you. I'm not quite magic, Mike. I'm
a chubby er brother tragic Mike. But with a little
Larry Trump on your Saturday night lineup, there's no I could.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Those singles could be twenty good.

Speaker 6 (29:45):
It's all good.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Those singles the chubby chasers are thrown at me, could
be fives, maybe tens by the time this is over.
Just not pennies because we're eliminating them. Yeah, they're done.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
I'm so excited. Leonard Trump, congrats man. We'll all be.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Watching the great Larry Trump. We'll see a Saturday Night
at nine.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
How bout it?

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Lara Trump's Saturday Night at My View nine pm on
the Fox News Channel going to be an absolute banger.
She's just so super frickin' real like as a person.
And if you heard the thing that she was saying,
I mean, in theory, she's a Trump. I mean, her
father in law is the president of the United States.
But the idea that you can come on and you
call me fat, make fun of my wardrobe, and hang

(30:22):
out and just be a human being is why the
Trumps are winning. It's why America is in the position
that it's in is people really want authenticity, and they
know they weren't getting that out of career politicians. So
they don't want perfect, perfect statements that are carefully curated
by a focus group. They want the type of statements
the President makes when he's sitting down with Elon Muskin

(30:42):
goes he has a lot of genius buddies. They dress
worse than he does, but they're doing a great job.
That's just real. It's kind of funny. It's kind of
evocative of Rodney Dangerfield and Caddyshack, but it's kind of
why he connects to voters. Voters don't connect to politicians
who are playing a character. And I tell you this
all the time about this show. There's very few elected

(31:04):
officials that appear on this show regularly. But the reason
they do is I've hung out with them off the
air and realized they were the same guy off the
air that they are when I see them on TV. Okay,
that's the Trump family. Okay, the guy's not playing a
character on TV. Lara Trump is not playing a character.
When she challenges Bobby Kennedy to a fitness RaSE or

(31:25):
whatever the hell, that was a tough mutterer. God knows what,
but that's the point. People want realness. That's kind of
what they're getting out of my show. Like I don't
get on TV and tell you I've figured out the world.
I get on TV and make fun of it, make
fun of myself, make fun of my wardrobe. And I'm
telling you, because it's Lara's premiere, I'm probably wearing the
loudest jacket I own this Saturday Just wardrobe. If you're listening,

(31:45):
the time to get out the taser gun is right now,
and there it is. Here's the Trump clip I was
talking about earlier. He was talking about Elon Muss clip too.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
You're right, a beautiful executive and you sign it and
you assume it's going to be done, but it's said
what he is, he takes it and with his hundred geniuses,
He's got some very brilliant young people working for him
that dress much worse than him.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Actually they dress and just T shirts.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
You wouldn't you wouldn't know they have one hundred and eighty.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
I got it. So he's your tech support is especial.
Actually he gets it done. He's a leader, he really is.
He gets it.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
But you see how Trump throws the kind of the
insult at Elon and they just kind of roll with it.
These guys they dress worse than him. Actually, it's just
a way of saying Elon dresses pretty badreck the mundo,
but they don't care. That's the hook is Elon Musk
has a goal trying to shrink size of the government,
minimize the role that bureaucracy plays in limiting the president's power. Okay,

(32:46):
Trump has a goal trying to succeed for the country.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
The dude, it's funny.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
We're just sitting here with his daughter in law, Like
you know, someone who you know travels on Air Force
one spends Christmas with the president of the United States. Okay,
I'm telling you this because of all the people I
know that come on this show, that swim in this circle,
and it's a very obviously a pretty elite circle that
I'm not even a part of. To be clear, that
he is governing with his eye on history, meaning he's

(33:12):
going to be historic no matter how this presidency plays out,
because he's one of two people to win the presidency twice,
but not in a row, non consecutive terms. Okay, so
his place in history is secured along with all of
the horrible things they've done to him, the arrests, the impeachments,
the indictments, the two assassination attempts. Okay, Trump, by the

(33:33):
way in which he is governed, or attempted to by
the adversity he's been subjected to by his political opponents,
will go down. Is one of the two or three
most popular presidents, regardless of what is approval rating is
even is just well known presidents who ever lived like
that place in history. Is secured, But he wants to

(33:54):
be regarded as a consequentially good president. He did not
run for this gig so he could leave Washington the
way Joe Biden did, which was pulling at thirty one percent,
a laughing stock who nobody believed was in charge of
the country in the first place.

Speaker 6 (34:10):
We have a president that is clearly not all there.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
There is not a single self respecting person in media
or politics who thought Joe Biden was running the country
the last four years.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
I agree with that.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
There she goes the great Lara Trump. Watch her show
every Saturday at nine pm on the Fox News channel.
She is, of course my opening act Fox New Saturday
Night with Jimmy Fala coming on every Saturday at.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Ten pm Eastern Time.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
I love talking to her because what you really notice,
and this really tells you everything you need to know
about America, is whether you're married into the First Family
like Lara Trump is, or you're here on the outskirts
of town driving a taxi like I was for most
of my adult life. The shared pursuit of happiness is
what ultimately unites all Americans in the name of a

(34:59):
common cause, which is making a better life and a
safer life for us and our families, putting us in
a position to prosper and chase after dreams in a
way that's very unique to our country because of the
freedoms we have here. So with that in mind, as
we close out this Independence Day special, we tip our
caps to the troops, to their family members, to everybody
who make these freedoms possible. We are here living in

(35:22):
the greatest source of good the world has ever known.
It is called America. If you live here, you have
hit the lottery. So congratulations to you. Happy Birthday to America.
