Speaker 2 (00:47):
Which is where the Patriot Awards hosted by Fox News
happened last night. So they're moving on in, they're moving
on up.

Yeah, because they booked that. They probably get a discount
for Jimmy's to.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Get one half price.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
And also, who knows what's next for Jimmy. I mean,
Fox News is a feeding ground for Trump's cabinets. Who, Jimmy,
have you got the call yet?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Commissionery guys. Hello, the fact that I am a former
New York City taxi driver and Trump didn't pick me
for transportation.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Oh that makes so much sense.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
And I want to talk about this because I ran
into Trump last night at the Patriot Awards. Okay, Sean
Duffy is another Fox talent and a former U you know,
Wisconsin congressman who was tapped to be Transportation secretary. And
he said, he goes, well, you know, Sean Duffy has
nine kids, so he's used to getting them around. You know,
that's transportation for you. And I was like, dude, I
was a taxi driver in New York City. I was
(01:43):
driving wizards and hobbits and time travers. You know, kids
are kids. You throw on a movie. There's no DVD
for a guy who says he's visiting you from the future.
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Wait, you called the president dude.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Oh yeah, you have no idea. I mean, this is
the whole thing, Larry, Okay, My life really is the
way you were describing it. It's a drinking story. I
was driving a taxi five years ago. I grew up
in Levittown on Long Island, Nassau County. Hey girl, and
thank you and that, Laura, you'll appreciate this. As a
former county executive. You know at Long Island University is
(02:18):
you know, used to be c W Post And the
running joke is I applied the post and couldn't get in.
I went to Nassau Community I know nobody likes a
show off, but I went to community college and last
night at the Patriot Awards, my stand up set and
this upcoming night of comedy are the only ways I
can get onto that campus.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I tried to do it legitimately, but it didn't work out.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
That's really good. Hey, and everyone gets into Nasau Community College.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Oh, you ain't kidding. I had to beat some guy
in Mike Tyson's punch Out. I think that was my admission.
It's crazy. I gave a guy named Spider a twelve
pack of bud lights and he was like, all right,
you're in.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Hey, you want to talk about guy? I'm sure you
know who's now kind of fighting for his reputation. Pete
Heg says.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yes, if you'll notice, it's very funny. So you've got
pretty much every name Fox talent, every big name Fox
talent on record is saying no this is sallacious. It
reminds us a lot of the Bret Kavanaugh thing. This
is a great guy. You've got every Navy seal, they
got a thousand seals, you know, potentially going to organize
(03:27):
a march in Washington now for his confirmation hearing the
Veterans group he worked for that says they love him
and he did them no wrong. Everyone on record is
saying he's an amazing guy. This is an amazing pick.
It's all off record garbage, you know, and it's very
it's it is very evocative of what they did with
Kavanaugh in that you flood the zone with a lot
of allegations and it's not about, you know, a conviction
(03:51):
in the court of law. It's about a conviction in
that court of public opinion. If you create enough smoke,
eventually people just want to get away from the distraction.
But he's not a guy that's gonna walk away. Forgive
me for saying, so the guy has seven kids. He
clearly doesn't pull out. Okay, there's a.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Thing here, nine kids, seven kids. He likes a fertile.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Man, a lot of kids. It's fire a lot of fertility.
If you're walking down.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Sixth Avenue you can check out coming at you.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
That's yeah, the original social distancing guidelines. And then for
that it takes fet away from Pete or Duffy Jimmy.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
If you want to work for Trump, you gotta get working.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I thee out of one of those because I have
like I have a good racket man. You know, I'm
on the radio noon to three. Then I do a
TV show Saturday night. Like, it's not so bad. If
you go, you know, you go work in this White House.
That means you've got to get publicly fired in three
months and write a book about it. Yeah, that's a
lot of extra work I don't need right now.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
That's a good point. Do you think that Pete's Pete
Hex's hath strategy of fighting this in the court of
public opinion will influence those senators who are on the fence.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yes, because they are very much They're not. These are
not leadership people. They read the room people, and they
just want to be on the right side of whatever
way the wind's blowing. Yeah, yeah, for sure. And if
you see Trump uh not pulling the nomination, the longer
Pete stays in, the better it looks for him. And
(05:19):
he's not again. I'm telling you this, there's no world
that ends with him saying enough enough, I give up,
Like it means more to him to know he fought
till somebody took the fight away from him, just as
much as it does to actually get confirmed. And the
thing about all of these, you know, character assassination things
is all they have again, are the salacious character assassinations.
(05:41):
If you quit on their grounds, then yeah, you can
lose your nomination. But if you keep going, you know,
there's only so much AMMO they can make up without corroborating.
An interesting footnote is his attorney revealed last night that
the one article we read about a girl accusing him
of having sex with her, which clearly appears to have happened,
you know, after her husband was in the other room,
(06:03):
that whole thing. She's not in a confidentiality agreement. She's
free to go talk to the press. I believe it's
Hegsas or his lawyer that was a part of determining that.
And they want people talking, they want people doing a
deep dive, and they're not shying away from an FBI
background check because the things he did, you know, guy
was probably a mess. He was going through a divorce.
(06:24):
He came back from combat and he was certainly drinking,
as a lot of people do when they come back
from combat. Had a lot of PTSD and that's why,
like he legit went to work like trying to help veterans,
Like I would just tell you some inside baseball stuff
if you want to hear it, Like, okay, Well, the
idea that they're like, well, you know his Fox colleagues,
you know this was that anonymous article they ran said
(06:44):
they smelled alcohol.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
In his breath.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I have to tell you, Okay, walking into Fox News
every day, he was the guy and I mean this,
and it would like demoralize me because he's in such
good shape. He's famous for leaving our lobby shirt list
to go jogging. He would jog up sixth Avenue of
the park and it was always because he'd be running
out shirtless with these abs and I'd be walking in
with two heroes from DSO Sandwich Trump on sixth Avenue. Right, No,
(07:10):
it's funny, right, Well, that's the thing, Laura, Like, I'm
surrounded by guys who look like TV stars. I look
like I installed your TV.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
You know, Well, that's your charm, that's your charm.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah, well for sure, and that's what I'm leaning into.
But the point is, yeah, there's no there's no world
where anybody thought he was unprofessional at Fox and and
I'm telling you, you know, everybody in the media that
I know, it's like, wow, God's so crazy today. He's
got to pull out now. But there's no rule that
says you have to. It's like Trump is a good,
good lesson there. You know, if you just keep going,
(07:39):
think about how many moments they had Batman pull to
the wheel of death and then when you go to commercial,
he's somehow off the wheel of death.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
No, no, no great analogy we have. We have to
get going. Jimmy, unfortunately, were running out of time. But
I admire so much that you've been standing up for
your friend like that.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Uh.

Jimmy will be hosting Fox Nations Night Of at the
Tillis Center in Brookville, New York, on Thursday, December twelfth.
