  1. Kayleigh is having entirely too much fun with this. Great to see!

  2. Interesting point that Bret makes at the end. Either one of those senators could become Republicans. That happened in the South in the Regan era. The conservative wing of the Democrat party stymied much of JFKs agenda (he was not very successful legislatively) and helped Nixon an Regan. The parties are really splitting along ideological lines. In the past each had a liberal and conservative wing. They did not completely overlap, but on balance represented the country and their constituents. Now they have really split. What is really interesting is that, under Trump, the Republicans have come to represent labor more.

  3. One of the best opening monologues I have heard in a long time.

  4. The utter stupidity of the Democrats policy on fossil fuels in North America is astounding. If you want the resources to transition to low carbon energy and transportation, then you want fossil fuel production in the US. It will take decades to replace the ICE vehicles in the US. I have written on this. We have over 250M light vehicles in the US. About 18M new ones are sold a year. Do the math. Our current vehicles will last for at least 200K miles. The average vehicle age is increasing because they are much more reliable. EVs are still only about 3%, at most, of new vehicles sold. They are also much more expensive than ICE vehicles, and over five years, are more expensive than ICE vehicles in cost over at least five years. Gasoline prices are rising, but so are electricity rates.

  5. Most of the countries she says she is talking to have voter ID requirements.

  6. I love how Greg cast aspersions on some of the "straightest" and nicest people on Fox. My favorites are "the evil Sahnnon Bream" and Dana Perino. Of course, he probably has it right for Kilmeade and Heraldo. This is one of the best programs on TV.

  7. I am in the suburbs of Chicago and couldn't agree more. The time is ripe for the Republicans to flip the state, but it will take real leadership, and that is where I have a concern.

  8. Either Gov, Noem or Gov. DeSantis should be the presidential candidate for the Republicans in 2024. Maybe both should be on the ticket.
    74
  9. This is good. Instead of diplomatic niceties we see real discussion. It may be uncomfortable to some, but we need it.

  10. Greg had way too much fun with this topic. Epic!

  11. Trump wanting to see Hollywood do well again is just another example of how he is for ALL Americans. There are numerous examples from his first term and from the recent campaign. In his first term I recall that he would have black activists who supported reforms he was making in the Oval Office for events. In the campaign he went to Chicago to address a meeting of black journalists, for example. He is not for leaving anyone out. MAGA does not discriminate against anyone. It is a movement for ALL Americans.

  12. Vashon is totally correct about why people tend to vote Democratic. My father was from a factory town in Massachusetts and his sisters voted Democratic. He had moved away, to Washington, DC and worked at an Army research lab. One time the younger one was visiting, and I mentioned that I supported Ronald Regan. She was taken aback and said, "our family has always voted Democrat". I am pretty sure that is why, when my father was asked how he voted he declined to answer and stressed that the ballot was secret. Actually, I now live in the Chicago suburbs. Perhaps with people in Chicago waking up, there is hope yet.

  13. Always impressed with Gov. Huckabee. I really like what he said about Fetterman. Maybe the Senator will change parties. It has been done before.
    51
  14. All this talk about Trump actually talking to members of Congress reminds me of LBJ. I recall from reading a biography of LBJ that he did this routinely to lobby for legislation. Now, I am not a fan of LBJ, but I really feel this is the way it should be. The President interacting with members directly is a great sign.

  15. I am so encouraged by Marco Rubio and his take on foreign policy. Fantastic pick. Trump is assembling the A-Team.

  16. Emily is the best. Love Greg, but if Emily took over, I would not be sad.

  17. Ron Palul is substantially correct! There may be a very few cases where foreign aid is effective and in the US interest, but these are limited. A total bottom-up review is what is needed.

  18. Tyrus is so wise. The explanation of dumbing down of race is right on the money. It is sound bite journalism. This show is so good, even with Gutfeld.

  19. Tim Scott is my favorite. He is a real man. He is also showing that the Republicans are really the party of the workers of this country. Unions are obsolete. Many decades ago, when I was in the aerospace industry, there was a local competitor which was unionized. This was on the East Coast. The competitors engineers were unionized. The only advantage was if you had massive seniority. There was also limited mobility. The company I worked for was the opposite. Mobility was encouraged. Seniority was not the key. Talent was. We eventually bought the competitor. Wow! When we saw what the situation from a personnel lever, it was epic. I could also go on and on about unions, and it is not favorable. Unions once had a place, but now they are politicized and don't really represent the rank-and-file members. I had a friend, very liberal (I am not) who went back to work as a teacher. One time we were talking, and she went on and on about a teacher in her school who had done something horrific. It took at least two years to get him removed. She was disgusted. This is not an isolated incident.

  20. I remember watching Ron's impeachment trial in the Illinois State Senate. A friend of mine, who was a state senator, when it was time to cast his vote, gave a thumbs down gesture in a bit of a dramatic display. On the other hand, many of these prosecutions are politicized. I look forward to more Democrats moving over to the Republican side. Maybe Fetterman is next. Just look at the videos on this channel about the Chicago City Council meetings. Black voters wearing "Chicago Turns Red" tee-shirts and MAGA hats. During the campaign Trump went to the black journalists meeting in Chicago. He was/is a president for the whole country and does not ignore anyone. Just look at how minorities did during his first term. Change it is a coming.

  21. You know, the people who say this is a unique time, are just full of crap. When I started at university, in the third quarter of the last century of the last millennium, we were all commies. I mean that. My ethics professor, who we often got high with (actually that was lots of our professors) had us reading Marx and Lenin on the side. We would discuss these ideas with the janitorial staff (who worked second shift), who were mostly African American, and they through we were nuts. Don't forget that even Robert Bork was writing socialist screeds in his high school newspaper. What you are, and what you think, is not set in stone in your college years. All the companies bowing down to the leftist orthodoxy will find themselves hurting very soon. We have a very dynamic society, and things will change.
    28
  22. That was going to be my line. I fully agree with you, well put. I would love to see him run for President, perhaps not in 2024, but in 2028. He should at least be a VP candidate.
    26
  23. Actually, it has been worse. It should not be as it is today, but this is not the worse it has been. When I lived in Washington, DC (where I was born, at Georgetown University Hospital) I would see helicopters patrolling with the artificial daylight. This was in the 1970s. Why, you might ask. Well, it was because previously patrol cars would go down the alleys and the criminals would throw grenades under the patrol cars and blow them up. I believe that the current state of affairs is horrendous. On the other hand, I have lived through worse. We need a real dialog about where the country is heading. Under Trump that was possible, Trump did a lot to help groups that did not vote for him. He was for Americans, all Americans, no matter how you voted, as a group. He got unemployment down to historic lows among ALL groups, He pushed for empowerment for minority groups. Those that voted for Biden from minority communities are reaping the whirlwind. They are proving themselves as stupid and uneducated.

  24. There are a lot of comments about the Europeans paying more, and that's important. The thing that is not often mentioned is that "common value base". That is important. The American electorate will not continue to support a Europe that does not share our values. Why should we. They are welcome to their own "values", but they are moving so far away from traditional western values that we supposedly share that they may no longer enjoy support in America. I believe that is what Vance was trying to say without be as blunt as I would be.

  25. One the best videos I have seen on this issue. Lawarence is a great spokesman on this issue.

  26. This is insanity. This guy says the elements of the plan are wildly popular. NO, they are not. This is just the same situation as the Labor manifesto in the UK at the end of 2019. They kept insisting that the individual elements were polling well. The whole thing was a lot like the Democrats' plan now. One of the big issues was the cost. Why can't these leftists understand this? The net result for Labor was the biggest loss in decades. Even if this does not pass in the US there may still be losses because of the threat of such massive spending.

  27. The show is getting funnier and more enjoyable now that the news isn't all about the woke bull crap.

  28. What come to mind when I hear President Trump, his cabinet or senior Republican legislators is "the adults are back in the room".

  29. I have seen it all through decades. We have this war on drugs, and the people prosecuting it are either inept or incompetent. People will do what they want. I did these things in the fourth quintile of the last century of the last millennium. Today I have whiskey, and that is enough for me. But I do not presume to tell others what to do. Look at the ways we die. Drug overdoses have overtaken automobile deaths, but only recently. Think about that. Getting from point A to point B used to be more deadly. People are going to do these things, like it or not. It is not even a majority. Perhaps that is why we treat it like we do, Weed is now legal where I am. Would I start doing it again. NO way. I have no interest in that. But that is my choice. Others may decide differently. As long as they do not impact me, I don't care. That is the whole basis on which this republic was founded. Do what you want, but don't harm me or stop me from doing what I want. American individualism! That is why so many people want to come here.

  30. Can we get MAHA hats to go with our MAGA hats?

  31. I love it when Senator Blackburn talks about moving government agencies out of DC. Full disclosure, I was born in DC. What this reminds me of is similar talk from the 1960s or early 1970s. My father worked for what is now the Army Research Laboratory. I remember, when I was a kid, him talking about being moved to someplace like St. Louis. I don't think he was happy about the prospect. He was from Massachusetts then moved to DC after the war. I don't think he liked the idea of the Midwest. The funny thing is that I am now in the Midwest (have been for over 30 years). I like it.

  32. First, the residents of Chicago elected her. This is on them. Second, if you have hire private security, then you should not have to pay the proportion of taxes that go to the police.

  33.  @YDKim-cr1yx  What the heck are you saying? Please clarify. If you cannot, then don't reply in English.

  34. It's good to see Tyrus on so many different shows on Fox. He is a different and refreshing voice.
    15
  35. I like that Senator Scott (one of the great ones) mentions Lincoln's cabinet. I have a book on that which I was given and haven't read yet. It is now at the top of my list.

  36. Pastor Brooks is an inspiration! Fox News is great in bringing his message out! God, I hope he is successful.

  37. Right off the bat, Mr. Gawande says it all. That US taxpayer dollars should be spent to support "humanity" in a global sense is the problem. ANY program that does not support the AMERICAN people and direct AMERICAN geopolitical goals should be shut down. These programs were first started to support American geopolitical goals. The idea was to pay people to be on our side. By the way, it has not turned out that way in many cases. They morphed into something more akin to guilt money. We are rich, others are poor, so we should pay. That is not a valid foreign policy goal. What we end up with is people like Mr. Gawande running such programs. Add on top of that the corruption in many of the countries that the US had provided aid to, and it becomes clear that it is time to stop the madness.

  38. Parents do have the final word on what children are taught in schools. They fund it. Education is almost totally funded by local taxes. Remember no taxation without representation? To say that parents have no say in what kids are taught is stupid, insulting and un-American. Parents have the ultimate say, They are responsible for their children and pay for their education. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool and an enemy of parents.

  39. Absolutely! We also need to investigate them for ties to the people they are "protecting". Why would they want to protect noncitizens who are here illegally? What's in it for them? Is it just politics? There is something fishy going on.

  40. Neil, are so stupid to equate the postponement of a nuclear test with conventional exercises? What is your knowledge of these things and what is your motivation? You are a journalist. Report on what is happening. Do not try to understand what it means. Your viewers will do that for themselves. That is what they are supposed to do. A journalist who tries to shape the narrative belongs on CNN, not Fox.

  41. The fact that there is a penalty clause in the deal clearly indicates that they cannot force him to buy it.

  42. I want an Ultra MAGA hat!

  43. Don't disagree, but we have all these things hit at once more than once in our past.

  44. Vance was absolutely a good pick. What is so interesting is that here we have an old guy as president who is moving us into a new era. I am about a decade younger than the president and I am still doing things and creating things. I hope I am still going strong when I am his age.
    10
  45. That may well happen.

  46. Love John Waters. First saw him at the opening of Female Trouble at the University of Maryland. Ah, the good old times. Smoking weed in the theatre. Lots of beer. Women peeing at the urinals in the men's room. I took along a friend from a rich Nashville family who had studied film at Vanderbilt. To see his reactions was priceless. By the way, have you seen his first four films?

  47. The tragedy is that in these cities that are experiencing massive problems, it is the citizens, who, by their votes brought the failed policies in.

  48.  @murphy804  Don't be stupid.

  49.  @murphy804  I don't know you and you don't know me. So, such statements are both stupid and inappropriate.

  50. The age groups are a good indication of what is going on here. My oldest son was into competitive swimming. When he was younger the age groups were two years. When he was in the first year of the group, he did not do so well. In the second year he did very well. It is the same among sexes. I do not know why we are tying ourselves in knots over this transgender issue. What percentage of the population is transgender? It is less than 1% as far as I can tell. To throw our whole society in turmoil for less than 1% of the population makes us look ridiculous. This is especially true in sports, where the differences in physical makeup are a paramount factor. If you look at professional sports, which are played for money, there are no women in the men's leagues. Why, because they could not compete. In fact, most men could not. We need to stop this madness. The whole idea of Title IX was to level the playing field in academic sports between men and women. We are different! Get over it.
