Speaker 1 (00:00):
Because of what's in the news that I have been
looking forward to talk to Jimmy Fayler. Jimmy Fayler as
the WR host. He's on from nine to midnight on
Fox Across America with Jimmy Fayla and host of Fox
News Saturday Night with Jimmy Fayla on the Fox News Channel.
He joins us every Tuesday at this time. And now, Jimmy,
I hope you're doing well today. Don't take this the
(00:20):
wrong way, but I wanted to talk to you because
zorin mom Donnie wants to legalize prostitution. Now, I know
that sounds bad that I thought of you first, but
I thought of you first. I thought of you first
because you were a cab driver and you've been on
(00:41):
the streets of New York your whole life, and you
remember back in the days when the streets were lined
up with prostitutes. So you've seen all this firsthand and
how bad it can be, and what a bad idea
that is.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Jimmy, Yeah, oh one thousand percent.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Also not sell it short because he's just been endorsed
by Elliot Spitzer.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Now, which was a big pick up. He should be.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Getting an Anthony Wiener endorsement could go with it in
the second.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Now, there is some strategy here.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Larry Man's trying to build a coalition. Okay, yeah, you
got to play the long game here. He's about to
get a note from Chappaquassa and.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Bill Clinton's on board.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
You know this, mom, Donny, guys, he might be better
at this, we think.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Second, so he finally found a proposal that a lot
of powerful people liked.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Right, Yeah, this great. They're like, listen, just don't give
out the list of who visits.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
These hookers and we'll be good.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
You know, it is so crazy to me because you know,
I did spend a lot of time driving a cab
and you recognize there are so many downsides to this.
You know, obviously there's a safety issue for the girls.
There's the CD element you bring into these residential areas.
There's also a disparate impact on businesses because people don't
want to shop at stores, which is what's going on a.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Lot on Roosevelt Avenue right now.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
And it's so crazy to see this evolution, Like politics
used to be a chicken in every pot, Like how
did we go from a chicken in every pot to
a hooker?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
On every block.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
And this isn't like raising flood you know, flags with anybody,
and it really speaks.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
To just how broken they are.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Is on the left right now because they've got to
know better.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Larry like, this isn't actually good.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
But if they think somebody will vote for it, they're like,
who cares if it's good? They just want to get
into power. So it's scary.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, but who would vote for that? I mean, you
you raised some real serious problems. But I think the
most serious problem with that is these women aren't independent workers.
They always have somebody, a sex trafficker, a pimp, or
an aggressive boyfriend behind them. They're being forced into this
for the most part and abused.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah, they're That's the thing. If you have an empathetic
bone in your body, this is a non starter. None
of these women get to keep the money. None of
these women live very long, and they don't do so
under glamorous terms when they are alive.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
It's really depraved.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I mean, the reason the movie Taxi Driver, although it's
you know, fictitious, does talk about you know, one cab
driver's relationship to this young girl he wants to protect
is because when you're out there as a cab driver
driving through these neighborhoods, you do see the same people
every night, and you do kind of watch their decline
in real time, and it's really sad. But that's the
(03:41):
real problem with Mom Donnie. It's like he's not campaigning
in a real world. Okay, it's kind of like he's
campaigning to like.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
A Reddit thread of weirdos.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
And there's enough people that it's true, and there's enough
people that aren't affected by anything he's gonna do because
he has a lot of white, liberal elite people who
aren't in these neighborhoods, you know, who don't actually care.
They'll vote for it, they think they'll even know what's
better for the minority community.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
But it's bad, you know. And I've joked about this
on my show.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Like AOC's districts specifically, as the post is called it.
I believe the Boulevard of Sweethearts. Okay, Yeah, it's good
for the taxi industry because drivers get these outer borough fairs,
but it's bad for everybody else. So I'm going to
have to differentiate myself from Governor Spitzer on this one.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, that's good move. Yeah, I laughed because it was
such a great analogy that you made with the Reddit users.
Let's talk about these peace talks that are going on.
What amazes me about the peace talks? First of all,
I don't think anyone could have brought this peace talks
about except Donald Trump. He is the conduit for all
of this and it all surrounds him. But it is
(04:49):
amazing to me how the Democrats over and over fall
for the trap of now being against world peace. Like
now they're going to criticize him for this, and the
media in tow when they don't realize that they're making
themselves look bad and they if their approval rates are
just going to keep dropping and dropping and dropping.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Jimmy, yeah, I know, because they're not only at odds
with us. Like if you look at the polling in Ukraine,
seventy percent of Ukrainians want a deal. The Democrats are
in this really broken place. Now, have you ever had
a friend, Larry Okay, who complains about somebody so much
that you realize your friend's the crazy one and the
person they're complaining about is actually okay, Like that's the
(05:31):
Democrats with Trump. Okay, when you're coming out against world peace,
when you're coming out against lowering crime in DC.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Okay, if Trump gave every kid in.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
America a puppy right now, the Democrats would be like Hitler,
how to dog. He'd be like, no, No, you're missing
the point.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Kids just like puppies. Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
And that's the thing when you get into this knee
jerk reaction where you're not doing legitimate political opposition, because
that's this is not like good faith opposition.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
This is like, if you do it, it's bad.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
And I mean, again, we've all.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Made this joke.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
But he could literally come out in favor of anything
and they would and they would oppose it, you know.
So I enjoy watching it as a comedian, but as
a country, I'm like, I mean, these guys aren't even trying.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Man.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, you you studied the Democratic Party. I mean they're
lost right now. I don't think anybody that's out there
right now that we're seeing on TV a lot is
going to be the leader of the party because they're
just hurting themselves so much. So who is it going
to be? You're at Fox News, all, come in, who's
it going to be?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Well, the Democrat with the most grassroots support on the
internet is probably Luigi MANGIONI, but you may he may
ask some issues getting out the campaign.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
If he can run via Zumi, he's got a shot.
It has to be an outsider.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
We did a segment on Fox New Saturday Night where
where we were pondering the idea of like Taylor Swift running.
Now I don't think she's going to, but I do obviously,
but I do believe someone's gonna have to sail into
this thing from maybe the left wing like celebrity sphere,
because the politicians are you know, this is embarrassing. Like
it's a good episode if you're looking for, like a
good episode of Dancing with the Stars. Gavin Newsome wetsmore JB.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Pritsker, that's the season. That's a dancing limbs star.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
But in terms of like dancing with the voters, you know,
there's no chance.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So I don't know. I think I think it's a wildcard. Yeah,
I don't see anybody at this point.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I don't see anybody that's stepped up that has been impressive.
It really is embarrassing and I want a strong two
party system, but it's just not out there. Jimmy Fayla
