Speaker 1 (00:00):
I want to bring in Jimmy fail a Fox News
radio host and host of Fox News Saturday Night on
Fox News Channel. Also a very funny man and stand
up comic. Jimmy, thanks for spending some time with us today.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Well, it's a well timed booking because I do dress
like the Pope with all the rhinestones and everything else.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
He might be too soon.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
No rip to the Great Pope Francis.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I was at the Vatican.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
It's a great story. With my wife, we were their
on our twentieth wedding anniversary, and he came out and
did the Sunday blessing like not actually for the Mass,
but do you know when there's like people in the
square and they throw like the crest out of the window,
and he came out and you know, gave like a greeting.
It sounds like he's blessing you. I think he's actually
just given the tourists a finger. But it was nice.
(00:49):
It was honestly, it was a really nice thing to
witness in person. And you know, this is wild stuff.
I mean, it's a crazy, crazy news day. Yeah, but
I was obviously raised Catholic, so it matters. This matters.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah, I'm I'm Catholic too, so did the blessing change you?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I mean, if you've seen the content, no, you've seen
my show, but it's it really is incredible to be
in the presence of something like that, because again, if
you were raised Catholic, you have so much reverence for
the Pope. I grew up obviously in the era of
Pope John Paul, and of course he said those masses
at Yankee Stadium and that stuff. In my family was
(01:25):
like a huge deal, you know, and we were were
Polish and half my family's Polish, and so this stuff
actually really did matter. But that the reason it did
impact me just really quick is you know, seeing a
pope in person and being over there in you know, Italy,
for me was profound because as a former New York
(01:45):
City cab driver, I'm not making this up, ninety nine
percent of my foreign travel has been at Epcot. So
the one time I actually saw real things, it was
pretty cool. They were cool.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Not that there's anything wrong with Epcott.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I love I love going down to Disney, or at least
I used to before it became so expensive.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Now that just.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Defensive. Yeah, the park has changed a little bit.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it, the DEI stuff.
Hey listen, I want to play something for you because
it seems like AOC. Well, first of all, she's forgotten
about her district. We've been talking about that all morning.
And she's going out with Bernie Sanders on this oligarchy tour.
But she seems to be channeling Kamala Harris with these accents.
Here's here's the latest.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Donald Trump is a criminal who was found guilty of
thirty four felony counts abroad, liable for sexual abuse. Of
course he's lying, I'm abusing. I'm manipulating the stock market too.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
What what the hell is that? What kind of accent
is that?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I listen, I don't actually know what category it falls under,
but to me, that's a sure sign that she's serious
about getting the nomination in twenty twenty eight, because every
Democrat that has gotten the nomination, every woman, has had
the fake accent. Do you remember Hillary Famous? I don't
feel no ways.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Tard with this right, yes, yes?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
And then Kamala has the one she got called out for.
I mean, Kamala really should have been U an ambassador
because she has a fake accent for every country there
and that's how you know a woman is serious about
leading the Democratic Party, which he taxed on the fake accent.
You're like, oh, she ain't playing this is it?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
It has been really pathetic to watch the Democratic Party
and politician after politician because there's this huge leadership vacuum
and everybody thinks they're the next person. Everybody thinks they
can insert themselves into it. Let's go through a couple
of them, with Corey Booker Spartacus getting up and talking
forever without urinating.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I watched this. This was twenty five hours, right, and
what's amazing is you know this and the world we're
living it. They always say, well, if you're gonna post
a piece of content, it needs to be shorter than
a minute, because nobody has an attention span. Corey Booker
was like, I've got it. Twenty five hours. No, No,
that's not how this works. It doesn't make it better.
(04:26):
That makes it worse. And I think, you know, he
thought it was making some type of big breakthrough moments,
but nobody cared. Okay, it was twenty five hours of ridiculousness.
But they're all pulling stunts like this, as you know,
because they're hoping one of them will be the breakthrough
stunt that puts them on the map.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
There's a Booker thing he talked forever, and I have
Democratic friends that were saying, oh.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
That was brilliant.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I'm glad someone stood up and I said, really, what
did he say? Not one of them could come up
with one thing he said in twenty five hours, so
nobody listen, showing that it was just completely a stunt.
And now we have the latest stunt from Chris van Holland.
Boy did that backfire on him?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Well a jack ass. So he flies down to meet
a guy and understand he's grandstanding after DBS has said
this guy's wife had filed the domestic against him. You know,
the Democrats like to tell us they're the party of
brown people. I didn't realize they meant Chris Brown. You
know that's crazy. And the ideality again you're saying too
(05:33):
to Americans, like you want to run for president on
this idea of and if I'm president, no illegal migrant
gang bangers will ever be supported. Again, I'm like, I'm like,
I don't know if that's the sale you think it is. Dude.
You know, how did we go from a chicken in
every pot to a ganggang for every community like that
(05:54):
was a good thing.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
No, I after a while you start to feel sorry
for them.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
He even got beat up by Dada Bash over the
weekend and Dada Bash was saying to him, let him
with a softball question, saying, you know you were down
there with him, is he Ms thirteen?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
And he went and he just avoided the question. He
went way off on a tangent. And she came back
and said, you mean you didn't ask the question? And
he didn't. He was embarrassed on.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
National TV yesterday because he went down there just going
to coddle this guy.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, total dope. And again he's not doing it for
the guy. He's not doing it for due process. He
was doing it for his moment. And again he booked
himself yesterday on every Sunday show. He was on every
single Sunday show. So make no mistake about it. This
was a strategic move by him to put his name
(06:51):
on the map, thinking that's the twenty twenty eight issue
that's going to turn.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
It around for the Democrat.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Forgot the groceries, forget the gas, we get the housing,
the interest rates. More importantly, there's a deported gag backer
excuse of domestic assault.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah. I don't normally anyone to go aheadah good, I.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Don't normally agree with Gavin Newsom, but he said this
is ridiculous. He said, we're sheep everything Donald Trump waves
in front of our face, we chase after and we're
on the wrong side of every issue. I thought that
was brilliant on his part.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah, because he's starting to get it. Political opposition would
traditionally come with like a basic decency. You would pick battles,
but you wouldn't. You wouldn't just oppose anything the guy
in power does for the sake of opposing it, because
it ultimately makes you look bad. And that's where they
are now, all of these eighty twenty issues, as everybody knows, okay,
(07:46):
they're on the wrong side of. Even after he's on
the executive order where he doesn't want biological men competing
against women, most Democrats.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Are openly defining that.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
They I mean, think about how far we've come, Larry
as a country. Do you remember the movie that Tom
Hanks A League of their Own?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, where that was like.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
One of the most heartwarming moments of all time in
cinema because it was about women finally having their own league.
Well fast forward fifteen years and now they've got to
share it with men, a league of their own. They
are now means one guy. They're meaning one guy in
the dress who wants to get changed in the women's
locker room.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
