Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from War Everywhere, USA. It's Fox
Across America with Jimmy Falo.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Oh hot damn.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
It's an old saying in horse racing, but if you
want to make it big, you got to be a mutter.
You gotta be able to run on a sloppy track. Well,
here at Fox Across America we are nailing on the
horse shoes for a while. Three hour day of radio.
Two celebrity jockeys coming by. Kennedy's gonna be here. She's
a two sports star from MTV and Fox News and
(00:30):
Mary Catherine Ham. You probably watch her on Special Report
all the time. A woman far too classy for this program,
that's true, but she is going to be here nonetheless.
Eighty eight seven eight eight nine to nine one zero
the phone number if you want to join either of them.
But it's gonna be a I gotta tell you a
little bit of a track meet. There's a lot going on.
Trump hosting the Polish president at the White House today.
(00:52):
There was a drone strike on a cartel boat late
yesterday afternoon. What that is absolutely a day shouldn't buy subtraction.
Good day to go fishing. By the way, if we've
got all this cocaine in the ocean. The fish are
definitely hopping around like those old White House dogs. Do
you remember that dog commander that kept biting everybody at
the White House.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I mean, in his defense, Seriously, you'd.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Be a little hopped up too if you had a
doggy nose and there was cocaine all over the White House.
But eight at eight seventy eight, nine nine one zero
the phone number if you want to have the conversation.
We're going to get into the cartel stuff. We're going
to talk a little bit about the Epstein Docs big
press conference in Washington this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
That can't be good.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
It isn't good if you want the story to go away.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
It's also not good if you're looking for some substance,
Because did we actually learn anything new from the conference itself?
The answer is no. But we will discuss it one
way or the other. Agree, disagree, like it, hate it,
nobody cares. The show has one rule. That rule is
to be a Republican, to be a Democrat. The only
(01:53):
thing we ever ask is that you do not be
a There you go, happy Wednesday. But we're ready, We're
ready to go. I don't know what else to tell
you other than here's the Trump thing. Okay, they host
the president of Poland today. They have a big Oh
it's a matter. Oh it's not up. That's so funny.
(02:14):
So I'm on the air with you guys right doing
the radio thing. But on the Fox Nation side, I
guess the TV feed is out on one of the monitors.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
This could be a problem.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
It is a problem.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
So if you're one of the chubby chasers who want
to watch the show, you want your monitor, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
People get worked up about this monitor over here.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Mad as hell, and I'm not trying to take this anymore.
Apparently they have fixed the monitor and we have returned
to full visibility on the Fox Nation side of the feed.
Happy Wednesday, everybody, let's do it to it so the
trump Man really quick. I just want you to hear
this thing about the cartels the drone strike. If you
didn't see the video, it's pretty wild stuff. I'm not
(02:53):
given to watching anything that records and makes sport of
the loss of life.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I don't do well with it. I don't watch a
lot of military footage.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I don't go down those rabbit holes on YouTube watching
animals eat each other.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I mean, it's a thing.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I know it's out there, is a comedian, It's one
of those things I'm not generally given to watching.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
If for no other.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Reason than nine times out of ten, if you're telling
jokes about stuff like that, you're gonna lose your job.
So I kind of go, you know, the old Willie Sutton,
Why do you rob banks? Because that's where the money is.
You know, why do you watch guys in chuck e
Cheese costumes getting arrested Because if you're a comedian, that's
where the money is. So I'm always given to watching
things a little bit goofier than drone strikes. But as
(03:33):
a guy who has a kid, who you know, has
met a lot of this audience around the country at
various stand up gigs and Fox News events, and know
how much you care about your kids, the scourge of drugs,
specifically the deadly ones like fentanyl and all those black
market pills that have made its way across our border
under Joe Biden have left us all a hell of
a whole lot less safer.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Do you have no idea how to defend a nation? None?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
So when you see Trump sending the message to the cartels,
that we are going to treat you like narco terrorists.
And if we are tracking a shipment of drugs into
this country, we're not going to arrest you.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
We're just going to kill you. Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Some of you might not like that, some of that
might be really harsh. Okay, but you know what you
like a lot less three hundred thousand fentanyl poisoning deaths.
So if you're going to take this aggressive stance with
people who only only respect and understand force, if ever
there was a justication to do so, it's when they
were killing the children in this country by smuggling illegal
(04:32):
narcotics across our border. And that's a statement Trump was
going for last night at the White House. He announced
the operation here at his clip one.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
When you come out and when you leave the room,
you'll see that we just over the last few minutes
literally shot out a boat, a drug carrying boat, a
lot of drugs in that boat. And you'll be seeing
that and you'll be reading about that just tappened moments ago.
And we have a lot of drugs pouring in to
(05:00):
our country, coming in for a long time, and we
just these came out of Venezuela, and coming out very
heavily from Venezuela. A lot of things are coming out
of Venezuela.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Lot going out of Venezuela, and he's basically saying to Venezuela,
go screw. You're not just gonna ship drugs into the
country and have us take it. You know, the same
situation that's playing out in Chicago is the one that's
playing out in international waters right now. It became standard
operating procedure to tolerate a lot of crime, to tolerate
a lot of unnecessary death as maybe the cost of
(05:32):
doing business you're in a big country.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
JB.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Pritzker made a similar comment yesterday about Chicago. He was
asked about the fifty eight shooting and what.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Did he say.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
He goes, well, you know, in big cities, there's going
to be crime, okay, but that's a real indifference. That's
not a deterrent to criminals. It's no consolation to the
families of victims. It's certainly not any type of assurance
of safety. They had this presser yesterday where Brandon Johnson,
with a straight face, got on TV and said Chicago's
(05:59):
going to continue to have gun problems until the Red
States get their act together. But let me ask you
a question. If Chicago keeps telling you that, ah, we've
got the strictest gun laws, but the reason we have
the highest crime is the neighboring states have the loose
gun laws.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Okay, so far, so good. Let's assume that's accurate.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Then how come the neighboring states with these gun laws
don't have the crime problems and you do.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
The point is Brandon Johnson is full of as is JB.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Pritzker. So you've got two things playing out in real time.
You've got a new administration that's like, no, we don't
have to just let everybody die. Okay, we don't have
to let them get killed by drugs smuggled into our country.
We don't have to let them get killed by crime
in their indifferent cities that their Democratic leaders have no
interest in cleaning up. Remember this, The Democrats don't want
(06:52):
to solve problems. The Democrats want to run on problems.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I agree with that.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Okay, they right. They do not want to sell they
want to run on them. Okay, think about what happened
after we elected our first black president.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
They told us that was the proof that we were
all racist.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
They're like, wow, you obviously nobody wants to agree with
any of his political positions.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I mean, look at the guy.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
What's so different about him than our other presidents that
they don't want to work with the guy? You know,
Democrats just call everyone racist, so they go along with
their stupid ideas totally. Because you got to understand, Okay,
Barack Obama had a lot a lot of really stupid ideas.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Don't be thick, all right.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Iran is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the world.
He gave him fifty billion dollars in cash. The media
applauded this and said we were just racist because we
couldn't make do with a black president being successful on
the world stage.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
We're like, no, no.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Those people want to blow us up. They chant death
to America. They sponsored terror attacks against US and our
allies in the region. Why we'd be giving them fifty
billion dollars in exchange for a promise that they're not
going to enrich uranium seems a little crazy to us.
Lo and behold, they continued to enrich uranium. Okay, and
we're on the verge of a nuke before we had
to strike them, which means Obama and the fifty billion
(08:12):
dollars was just a flat out bad idea.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I don't see you doing any better in the booty department.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
But at the time they were like, now you're racist,
that's why you're man Adam okay Obamacare. They're like, oh,
you're racist. The black guy passed healthcare. You don't like
the black guy healthcare. I'm like, no, no, my premium went
up three hundred percent. It's not the color black that
bothers me. It's the color green that's now flying out
the window. My wife had to get a appendix out
when I was a cab driver and it was cheaper
(08:38):
to drop our health insurance and pay out of pocket
than it was to meet the deductible and the copay
and pay the extra thirty five hundred dollars we didn't have.
So we were one of those people that had okay
healthcare under Obama that was driven up to the moon.
Which I've always said, if the Republicans wanted to target
this successfully, they never should have called it Obamacare. They
(08:59):
should have the Affordable Care Act because Obamacare's is like, oh,
Obama passed that.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
They don't like Obama. Let's get rid of it.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
No, no, no, that doesn't draw attention to the real problem.
The Affordable Care Act made care a lot less affordable
for the vast majority of people.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Bingo, Okay, that was the bigger issue.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
But again Democrats use the election of Obamas as some
type of proof that we were all racist. We can't wait, like,
wait a minute, we can't make the problem go away.
We make money off this. What are you nuts? And
that's what they're doing now, Okay, they don't want to
solve this problem. Like they told you in the summer
of twenty twenty, Black Lives Matter. They told us we
were justified with all the destruction we saw out there
(09:40):
in their streets because we had been too indifferent for
too long as a society. They burnt down police stations.
Do you remember they burnt down one hundred black owned
businesses in the near north of Minneapolis, and they told us,
now it's you know, Kamala Harris tweeted a link to
bail out those rioters because you'd't understand the Black Lives matter.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
We got to protect the black.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
People, and if we need to burn down a couple
of their businesses along the way to make a point,
so be it.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
We're like, all right, I don't know, this.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Is a little crazy, and we watch what looked like
a full on societal collapse because we were being told
that black lives didn't matter enough to regular people like
you and may people who might say, actually, no, all
lives matter. Of course, the black lives matter. They all matter,
the cop lives matter, everybody's life matters. Okay, that's the
point of living in America with real human dignity, something
we had and achieved at the time we burnt down
(10:25):
this country in twenty twenty, we were the most racially
tolerant and inclusive and diverse society on the planet of Earth.
So it was all a straw man argument. And now
we're sitting here, five years removed from that moment with
us telling the Democrats, Hey, can you just, I don't know,
not let all the black people get killed.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
We'll sound in the Feds will help them out.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Ninety eight percent of the murder victims in Chicago are
black people. And we're getting called racist for wanting to
lower the crime rate in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
What's the dumbest thing I've heard of.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
We're also being told there's no crime rate to lowerre
JB Pritzker.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
This is clip nine.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Just during the last week, I've been in neighborhoods across Chicago,
from Bronsville to South Shore, to Chatham to Little Village.
The President's absurd characterizations do not match what is happening
on the ground here. He has no idea what he's
talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
JB.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Pritzker, cook it down. Now, fifty eight people have been shot.
By the way. Governor of DC. You know, she told
us the same thing. It was an authoritarian crackdown. It's
literally hitler. They got to cancel. We heard all of
it about Trump's sending in the troops to DC. Do
you know what the mayor of DC just did. She
just signed an executive order extending the federal troops day
(11:49):
in her city.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Think about that.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Okay, So it went from this is racist, this is authoritarian,
this is bad. So well, actually it turns out the
locals really like it. People like walking outside without not
worried about getting carjacked or shot at. They like taking
their kids to the park without having to take a
head count every three minutes because one of them might
have got abducted.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Okay, it's bad.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Chicago was a half a million people living in their
city illegally, right now, it's bad. It's you know, strain's infrastructure.
If you got over five million Black Americans living in poverty,
and the Democrats are like, I've got it, We'll import
another twenty million people and we'll subsidize that.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
That's not looking out for the black community. Here's JB.
Pritzker giving you a.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Little more because a reporter asked him in a one
on one fifty four shot seven dead. That was the
reporting at the time of this interview. The number now
is up to fifty eight and eight sadly, but here
she is asking about it. Clip eleven.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
You're going to.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Hear people, especially pat this past weekend fifty four shot
seven dead.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
They're going to say the city's not safe.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
Would you ask your friends to ride the l after
midnight or after you know, nine o'clock at night, even
to come down to the city from O'Hare. Look, big
cities have crime, there's no doubt about it. But let's
just pay attention to what President Trump is doing targeting show.
He's overlooking red states that have much higher crime rates.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Oh, he's such a liar. I mean, you're a balace
liar of life.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Seriously, JB. Pritzker. Okay, and Brandon Johnson tried the same thing. Okay,
until we get the Red States. Here's Brandon Johnson.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Listen to this. This is crazy. Clip thirteen.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Chicago will continue to have a violence problem as long
as Red States continue to have a gun problem.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Okay, And that's an easy out because what they're trying
to do is outsource their own dysfunction to the surrounding states,
and they're trying to federalize this issue. Well, the feds
have to step up. But listen, the Feds are trying
to show up and you're telling them they can't come
because Chicago was built by slaves. That is a fact
check false. First of all, it wasn't. Second of all,
what does that have to do with anything? If this
(13:52):
is some overture to Black America who is getting killed? Okay,
but here is his claim. Clip fourteen.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
Are you prepared to do defend this land? This land
that was built by slaves, a layan that was built
by indigenous people, alayan that's built by workers. Are you
prepared to defend this land?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Brandon Johnson, that was embarrassing Chicago as it was actually
outlawed slavery back in seventeen eighty seven. It was built
in eighteen twenty five. I know the Civil War was
fought in sixty five in the Emancipation Proclamation, just the same,
but Chicago factually was not built by slaves. But again
he's uttering that in an effort to galvanize people along
(14:39):
the lines of race and go, ah, we've got to
protect this land because it's our we built, the slaves
built it, and now they're coming to enslave. As a second, no,
the people living in Chicago right now are really suffering
one of the worst indignities. They have thirty schools where
no one can read. Brandon Johnson is pulling at forty
fourteen percent right now. Okay, Steve Bartman has a higher
(15:02):
approval rating. Remember Steve Bartman when the Cups thought they
were going to the World Series and he reached over
for a foul ball Moistis s eluded and catch it.
They went on to lose that game and everybody blamed
Steve Barton for ruining their World Series chances that year.
Steve Bartman probably more popular in Chicago even in Rayleyville
than Brandon Johnson is okay, but Steve Barton was passionate
about the place he cared.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
He wanted to catch a foul ball.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Okay, Brandon Johnson doesn't wanna catch anything. He doesn't want
to catch criminals, he doesn't want Trump to come in
and help him, and he wants to reduce this to
some sort of issue of race. But the message sent yesterday,
whether it was about FEDS going into Chicago or a
drug cartel sinking to the bottom of the ocean dead,
is that as the president of the United States, you
have a lot of power to improve the quality of
(15:44):
life for the people around you, and you owe those
people in dire need of your help, no regard for
the jackasses who are trying to score political points by
getting in the way.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
You're listening to the host us not a freight tech.
Oh big.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
He took showers with the other pros.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
They came out of there.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
They said, oh my god, that's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
It's across America.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Busy Wednesday and Fox Across America with Jimmy, Philo Kennedy,
Mary Katherine Ham. If you're in the New York area,
you want to come to Fox News Saturday Night this
weekend or any weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
The tickets are free.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
You just go to Foxacross America dot com. All my
stand up dates are there are just the same. It's
the same place where you can get the podcast version
of this radio show. If you happen to miss the
live feed, it's all there. It's all under one roof
Foxacross America dot Com. And if you want to be
in New York this weekend, I mean, you could probably
be on the show because we haven't even booked the
guests yet.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
That's how Fox New Saturday Night works.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
You have to let the week play out kind of
figure out what you're going to cover and who you're
going to attach to it.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
And we're very much in the early stages of that.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
So who knows, you might get a take into the
show and wind up being in the band. I mean,
it happens to my family. Jenny and Lincoln were on
last week True Story. We like some cheap labor on
this show. What we don't like are dirt bags. It's
a very anti dirt bag show so much. So much
of the show is like, hey, just treat people right,
say it every day, be a Republican, be a Democrat,
(17:09):
don't be atrich.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
It's who point of the show.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Okay, But there's so much of this going on right now,
and I am going to give credit in the next
segment to a member of a network that doesn't get
a lot of praise, not here, not anywhere.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
CNN is the worst. How'd you guess? But somebody went
on CNN last night.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
They have these primetime shows, but it is like nineteen
people talking at the same time.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
It's completely inaudible.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
But I found one about minute stretch of content where
someone on CNN for real made a sensible case for
cleaning up Chicago, working with President Trump and actually pretending
that black lives matter more than black votes and they
need to be commended. And I'm going to do the
rarest of the rare CNN okay for one minute anyway,
(18:00):
made it sound like the network was going legit and
we'll talk about it.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
People aren't buying it, CNN, You dumb best suits.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
On Fox across America.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
I don't know that you could play this song in
Chicago right now.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
They're like, no, they don't want safety. Shut up. What
do you raise this?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
It's such a dumb time to be alive, and you know,
weren't a weird spot when I'm really devoting significant airtime
to calling out MSNBC and CNN.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I did this yesterday.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I played you a clip by Joe Scarborough yesterday and
praise the guy.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
This guy's so serious.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
As I don't like.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Joe Scarborough personally, I personally do not like him. Okay,
but he uttered up a bit of analysis yesterday that
I was like, no, this is good. He was telling JB.
Pritzker to work with Trump. This is a losing issue
for Democrats. I hate that that's his motivation. His motivation
is not man, it'd be great if less people were dying,
if these black communities had safer streets.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
None of that doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
But when you realize it's a losing issue for the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
At the polls, you go, you know, we better do
something about this. That was the border, okay.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Biden took ninety four executive actions to reverse Donald Trump's
border policies and let twenty one million people into the
countrys This was illegal, mind you, it was illegal. And
they ripped up Trump's border policies. They ended remain in Mexico,
they halted border wall construction no more Title forty two
(19:24):
and essentially created a monstrousity of a just I don't
even know what you would call the border. You know,
they called it, They say a humanitarian crisis, But I
don't feel like that doesn't any justice because it didn't
stay at the border. It made its way into all
fifty states. But the point is the Democrats spent four
(19:45):
years telling us that that was a manufactured crisis. We
don't need walls, they don't work in the first place.
But what did they end the election doing vowing to
finish the wall and blaming the Republicans for the border
crisis that they started.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Democrats are so.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Full of crap, totally, But why did they do that?
Because it suddenly became a political liability. The politics are
always more important than the people in the Democrat Party.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
That is a thing. Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
I know a lot of politicians. I know a lot
of people who work in liberal media. They respond to
polls in some instances if they're well funded ideologues like
the transgender issue. They're not responding to the polls. Eighty
percent of Americans don't want men in women's locker rooms.
The Democrats are like screw you, and then they call
up the people subsidizing them and.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
They go, we want more money.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
And they get the money, and they go back out
there and they defy the will of the people on
some of these issues. It is profitable for the Democrats
to take an unpopular political position, and they will because
they're broke as a party.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
But when it comes to Joe Scarborough saying JB.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Pritzker needs to do something about crime, that's Joe Scarborough saying, hey,
I'd like to win another election someday in the Democrat Party.
So why don't we actually just get out there and
pretend to care about these people. They don't. They're not
going to Okay, there's a reason I play at that
Charles Barkley clip on the show as much as I do.
Democrats have had a monopoly on the black vote for
fifty years. Schools have gotten worse, crime has gotten worse,
(21:13):
affordability has gotten worse, and if you call that out,
they go, well, it's.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
It, you know, America's racist.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Not the fact that we've been in charge of every
one of these cities for the last sixty years. Not
how it's America's fault. And that's what they do because
the power is more important than the people. They don't
want to solve the problems, they want to run on them.
Democrats have a playbook. It's like you show up to
a black community, you go, ah, I know things aren't great.
It's because these frigging racists Republicans, Am I right, you guys.
(21:39):
I know we said that four years ago, and eight
years ago, and twelve years ago, in sixteen and twenty years.
But the point is, if you control the whole state
and the whole state legislature, and I ain't the federal
government's problem. If your state's amass, that's the reality for Chicago.
It is not Trump's problem or fault. But as the
president of the United States, it kind of is his
problem because you want the entire place to flourish. So
(22:00):
Trump is out there addressing this because the guy actually
has a humanitarian bone in his body. Not human humanitarian,
a humanitarian somebody who cares. Is out there trying to
make life better for strangers because he wants them living
in favorable conditions. Because he has empathy. When you have
(22:20):
a relationship with your family the way he does. You
see the grandkids bouncing on his knee at the convention.
You see Kai going golfing with him. You see him
making Eric rustless sumo. I don't know if you saw
that video yesterday. What's are the Trump's fighting sumos? Eric
went in against Yokazuna, and now Trump's taken on JB.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Pritzker. It's a hole to do.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
But the point is he wants to clean up these
cities and it's not because it's politically favorable to him.
He's getting called a racist and a Nazi for wanting
to do this.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
That's what JB. Pritzker's calling him.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
He said, I wrote a book about Hitler and this
is Nazi stuff. I played this clip yesterday and I
was like, how is this evening?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
How is this even passable?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
But it's passable if you're a politician that has no
interest in providing for people and all interest in providing
for yourself. Meaning the playbook being run in Chicago, it's
the same playbook being run in LA. It's the same
playbook that was kind of being run in DC till
Muriel Bowser realized that people are actually really happy to
have safer streets.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Who would have thought, you know, wow, what a change
in world time was?
Speaker 3 (23:25):
People wanted to get carjacked where they went for a
ride man a week They grow up so fast. But anyway, Chicago,
d C. California, a lot of failed politicians are trying
to make a name for themselves by picking a national
fight with Trump. Hey, I know California lost eighteen thousand
fires houses to the wildfire. Three hundred businesses have left.
(23:48):
I know the homeless problem is doubled. But you know what,
Screw Trump?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Am I right? You guys?
Speaker 3 (23:53):
And everybody said, hey, this new some guy, maybe he
could run in twenty twenty eighth. You here where he
said screw Trump and not awesome. Meanwhile, nobody's got a
permit to rebuild their house and all the businesses are
skipping town. You gotta wait in line to rent a
U haul. Okay, think about that. If you have a
line to get into your restaurant, you have a good restaurant.
If you have a line to get out, not a
good restaurant.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
If California is a restaurant, there is a wait list
to leave. It is truly the hotel California. Check out
any time you like, you get ever leave.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
So what is he trying to do? Is he's trying
to fix the problems in California. Of course not.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
He's trying to tell you Trump's a racist, Get the
cops out of here. I'm gonna tweet in all caps.
And he's hoping that will find a way for him
to galvanize some significant swath of supporting the Democrat Party
and become a face of the resistance. JAV Prince's doing
the same thing.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
JV.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Prince goes out there with a straight face telling you
there's no crime problem in Chicago. Really think about that. Okay,
I'm gonna give you this one. He's trying to tell
you it's racism. He's actually just defending the minority people
and the brown people. He tries to make a claim
about citizenship papers. I want you to listen to this clip.
I say this all the time. I say, hey, guys,
(24:58):
we are living in the death of shame. See what
is the death of shame? Jimmy, you're talking all these
weird analogies and cliches. Do you ever do Do you
ever do this in like a native you know, do
you speak? I get your frustration, Okay, but I was
pretty upfront with you guys when they gave me the show.
I'm a former New York City cab driver. I went
(25:18):
to two years at community college.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
I did not show up here with some type of
intellectual background. I'm just an you know, a real guy
giving you a real opinion based on the real limited
knowledge that I possess.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
But JB.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Pritsker is a man who does not know shame. How
can I say that to you? Because JB. Pritsker is
out there yesterday talking about how this is just an
effort to target brown people and Trump wants them walking
around with their citizenship papers. But who the hell walks
around with their citizenship papers? Okay, which is a very
clever play on words. And I say that why because everybody,
(25:56):
everybody listening right now, every single one of you, is
walking around with proof of citizenship in your pocket.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Bingo, man, bingo.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
It's called your license, it's called your state ID. But
listen to this attempt to make it sound like Trump
is just out there to get the brown people. This
is clip ten.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
This is an aim of this government. They don't actually
care if you're here and undocumented. They just care if
your skin color is a little off of theirs, and
that you're Latino. They're gonna just target you without knowing anything.
Do you, by the way, does anybody in this room
walk around with citizenship papers? I mean really, none of
(26:38):
us have citizenship papers on us.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Oh god, you ought to be a shame to yourself.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah, of course we don't have citizenship papers on us.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
But you know what proves that we're citizens.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Our driver's license arectamund our learner's permit, passport, when we
bought a plane direct da mundo. Every single one of
these things cop stops. She has to see your license
and registration. Every single person listening right now, what he
just said is not true. But do you see where
(27:11):
he's trying to act like some champion of the minority
community by chasing off federal help that could potentially lower
a murder rate that is the highest.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
In the nation.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Chicago, let me give you, Shermichael Singleton. This is the
CNN clip. I tease, it's good fundamental radio. Okay, Shermichael
Singleton says, the Feds could go in for a little while,
and you know what, he is prone to taking Republican
positions on CNN. But the point is they let him,
and I want you at the very least commend them
(27:43):
for offering up a counterpoint to the nine screaming banchees
who just want you to believe Trump is Hitler and
there's no problems in Chicago. Guys, yesterday we had Marcus
Lamonis on Okay. He's a guy who runs Camping World.
He's a guy that is running bed Bath and beyond.
He's a guy who lives in Chicago and says his
(28:04):
wife has been jumped twice, and they had to close
the street on Michigan Avenue because it's not safe. Now,
Michigan Avenue is where all the money is in Chicago.
It's where the rich people are. It's where the big
fancy stores are. It's like the Fifth Avenue of Manhattan.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Michigan Avenue is the richest block in the city. If
the richest block ain't safe, I had a newsflash for you.
The poorous block ain't even remotely close to safe.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
So y'all, I need to haji kids had your wife
and hadji hood because they raping everybody out here.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
It ain't good.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
But here are scherm Michael Singleton on CNN Okay, speaking
to the reality of what's going on in Chicago is
his Clip fifteen.
Speaker 8 (28:41):
Look, I would do it wherever the crime is concentrated.
It's objectively true that there are pockets of the city
of Chicago that do have high concentrations of crime.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
We can't deny that.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Look.
Speaker 8 (28:53):
Is this a long term strategy. Absolutely not. But it
is a temporary fix. The President using the bully pulprit
rather to put a spotlight on crime in Chicago. I
think makes sense. We're discussing it. The Mayor of DC
just signed an act to day allowing local police to
work indefinitely with federal law enforcement because what they have
(29:14):
seen is a decrease to a number of zero in
terms of murders in the city of DC.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Why would that not be a good thing?
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Thank you, honesty. Why would that not be a good thing?
I had this other argument the other night. I was
in my yard.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
I had some buddies over over the Labor Day weekend,
and someone was yelling at me about.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
You know, wow, DC's no murders. What do you want
to live in a police state? Now?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
I'm like, listen, ideally no, but we were living in
a non police state, meaning like nobody was going to jail.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
People were getting killed, Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
When you have four hundred and eighty two carjackings, that's
more than one a day.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
When you look at the murder rate, they were averaging
a murder every day, and a half went twelve days
without one.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
If we all have to suffer the indignity of seeing
some guy we're in camouflage outside the train.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Station, I think we're going to be all right. Again.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
I'm not saying this is ideal, but we didn't create
this scenario. They had such a tacit indifference to these
inner city communities. Why why, why, why, Jimmy, why is
this a thing?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
How did they get away with it? And this is
it straight up. Okay.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
One party rule, whether it is Republican or it is Democrat,
that does it's irrelevant to the conversation. If you lived
in a state that elected nothing but Republicans for one
hundred and twenty five straight years, okay, could be at
the fifty year mark, could be at the seventy year mark,
but I promise you by the one hundred and twenty
fifth year, your state is going to be in really
(30:49):
bad shape.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
He knows what he's talking.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
About, because there is no accountability. There is no incentive
for them to do their jobs. Go to Congress, look
at people who represented district for thirty forty years. Go
look at Maxine Waters District. Seriously, go try to walk
down the street in Maxine Waters District without body armor
and tell me you feel safe being there with yourself
(31:12):
and your family. It's bad, okay, because if they're just
gonna keep voting Democrat over and over and over again,
the Democrats never need.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
To get better.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
It's biggest problem we have in New York's, biggest problem
they have in Chicago's, biggest problem they have in Baltimore,
biggest problem they have in La biggest problem they have
in Milwaukee, biggest problem they have in Baltimore, biggest problem
they have in Detroit. What's the common thread in every
single one of them? It is Democrats. Okay. If they
know they're getting your vote, and all they have to
(31:38):
do is say the other side's racist. If that's enough
for you to give up your vote, they're never going
to improve your city. I play this Charles Barkley clip
relentlessly because it's such a concise explanation.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
The reason I think the Democratic Party missed a Biden president.
Biden is losing black bosas. They only care about black
people every four years.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Every four years, Okay, they show up, and it's funny
because at different Charles Charles McBee comes on this show
and he's been saying this since twenty twenty. He said, Yeah,
Democrats show up to the cookout every four years. They
do the dougie, they shock, they jive, they get our vote,
and then nothing changes.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
That's just how white folks will do you.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Every single time.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
And again, I am new enough to media that I
actually care, and I get on the air and I'm like, Wow,
it'd be nice if people weren't dying and we had
people in office who cared about stuff like that, but
we don't. That is just a reality that politics is
such a self serving game that it's very rare to
get somebody who wants to succeed based on the meritocracy
(32:42):
of it all. Most politicians, especially presidents, want to be successful.
I don't doubt that. Okay, they have outlets that are
going to write about them favorably, so they always have
that sheen of success in one corner of the country.
But the way they've generally tried to get it in
other areas is by working in a bipartisan fashion that
will allow people to at least say, well, he did
(33:02):
this thing we like and maybe we didn't like that,
but we worked together on some things. I mean, this
is the reality of politics.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
You know they always say success of the thousand father's
failure is an orphan When when George W. Bush left office,
every single person in Washington hated them because of how unpopular.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
The Iraq War was. But do you know who voted
for the Iraq War?
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Every single person in Washington who hated him, every single
one of those people. But by the time the term
was over, they were like, oh, hell no, ain't nobody
gonna vote for no war like that.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I can't believe he did that. I'm like, go, no,
you did that. You did it with him.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
The New York Times wrote about the weapons of mass destruction,
and everybody who was slandering him played a role in
getting us into that mess. But now that it was unpopular,
they tried to distance themselves from it. Okay, politics is
the most self serving thing in the world, and the vast, vast,
vast majority of them just they don't care about you.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
They don't. Okay, I sort of do Okay, I don't
know all of you.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
I've met a lot of you, but I'm new enough
to media that I've seen the way this game is played,
and most of these people are actual sociopaths like JB.
Pritzker gets asked, Hey, we had fifty eight shootings and
eight deaths over the weekend two day period. Fifty eight
people get shot, eight people die. He says, there's no emergency.
Gres So then why isn't that on the cover of
(34:23):
the tourism brochure? If fifty eight people shot and eight
people killed, there's no big deal. He's got run of
the mill stats, apparently. Why aren't you leading here? Why
aren't you leading with that? Hey, come on down to Chicago. Okay,
you like walking tours, You're gonna love a good running tour.
Just hide your wallets. And that's the point. There's a
lot of people in politics that are there to serve people,
(34:44):
and by people, they mean the guy in the mirror.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
It's the number one show with humans and animals. Nice beaver,
thank you. I just had a stuff Fox Across America
with Jimmy.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Fox across America with your main man, Jimmy Pala Kennedy
coming up in the next hour. Mary Catherine Ham is
gonna be here as well, classing up the show today.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Yesterday was my first day back from the holiday weekend.
They must have thought I was banged up, so they
really stacked the deck today. Here at Fox, you can
always tell what they think by who's on the guest list.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
So like, he needs help today, he's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Drunken, stupid. There's no way to go through lifestyle.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Stop it.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
I am, I'm I met a Fox fans on the train.
I took the Long Island Railroad into the city today
because it was my son Lincoln's first day of school.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
It's last first day.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
He's a senior in high school, highest level of education
in the family, kind of a big deal. And I
took the train in so I could be home a
little bit later and watch him go to school and
all that jazz. And I met some Fox fans and
a woman actually really funny, came up to me on
the train and goes, oh my god, it is you.
She goes, I didn't think so, she goes, you look
skinnier in person.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
You're not telling me the truth.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
No, she really said that she didn't say I am skimmy.
She didn't say I am in shape. She just said
it is not the same takeaway she has when she
watches me on TV night in and night out.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
That boy is a p I G pig. This has
been a podcast from w O R
