00:00
Thank you.
00:05
Everyone, I'm Dana Perino, along with Emily Campagno, Kennedy, Jesse Waters, and Greg Gutfeld. It's five o'clock in New York City, and this is The Five.
00:20
Start your engines, America. Patriotism kicking into high gear. President Trump waving the green flag as he presided over the Freedom 250 Grand Prix in D.C. this weekend, delivering a race day unlike anything the nation's capital has seen before.
00:36
Good luck. Do well. Have fun. I don't want to say sort of be safe because it's sort of a negative thought, right? They don't want to be thinking about that because if they do.
00:44
that generally speaking, you're not going to win when you start thinking that way. We're going to make a little circle in a nice, secure car, slightly slower than the ones we're going to witness, but we're going to have fun.
00:53
But while Trump is revving up American pride, the DSA Dems seem determined to slash its tire. Socialist cheerleader Hassan Fiker, who has endorsed a long list of DSA candidates, he was out at an event this weekend and singing a vile song mocking Charlie Kirk's murder, drawing laughter and applause from the crowd.
01:33
So are these really the people mainstream Democrats want to get into bed with? Democrats like Senator Chris Van Hollen are now walking a tight political tightrope, defending the party's far left flank while trying to downplay its growing influence.
01:49
Would you accept an endorsement by the DSA?
01:52
I would not.
01:53
I'm not going to sort of look into all these endorsements. I'm not going to reject an endorsement by certain individuals at the DSA. But I'm certainly not seeking the endorsement from the DSA.
02:04
Emily, I go to you for no particular reason.
02:07
The Grand Prix, can we talk about that for a little bit? Because I talked to Hammer today. He went, he said it was an amazing experience and great for Washington, D.C., showcasing it in a different light.
02:19
It was amazing. I, first of all, burst into tears at the first flyover that I like totally overwhelmed with emotion and pride. It's exactly the kind of feeling that those flyovers are meant to stoke, which is an incredible awe at the military might and the power that we have and the celebration of America. And I was thinking about all day. I mean, I was in hog heaven because the cars were amazing and the view, just everything that the politics, and patriotism, those are an experience, too.
02:50
And no one wants to live in a constant indictment. And I think that's what it seems to me the Democrat socialists are wanting us to live in, a constant state of disillusionment, a constant state of there is nothing to be proud of or happy about right now. But here we have a president that says, actually, come celebrate America. Come celebrate in America and participate. And it has nothing to do with policies, per se, or ideology. It's just simply being an American. And the symbolism... Everything about this, especially the symbolism itself of IndyCar racing, the fastest car, the best synergy between technology and athleticism and all the things, that's what wins.
03:27
And the Democratic socialists are trying to tell you that it's not about that, that they should all get participation trophies, that it wastes too much gas as a flyover. And Ron Klain being such a big fan about this and saying, look, this is a win for everyone. It's exactly the kind of approach I think that's lost in so much of this translation and especially the Democratic socialists that say there's nothing to celebrate here. We're just going to call the cops on the party instead of having a good time.
03:49
Kennedy, there were some Democrats that just they really wanted to dislike the whole event and complained about the traffic and the disruption as if Washington, D.C. isn't like that all the time.
04:00
And you know that they were issued those talking points long before the race, long before any traffic was snarled or anything changed in their day, because they always have to find something completely negative to focus on. And people find themselves transfixed by events like this, despite their political affiliation. And that's one of the things that's so incredible about motorsports, you You know, whether it is IndyCar or F1 or NASCAR, we see how the American landscape has evolved and been transformed by events like this.
04:36
And the one thing that you heard over and over again from motorsports fans and a big shout out to Jamie Little. She is the Fox Sports reporter. She does a lot of NASCAR stuff. She's so versatile. She was there interviewing the president. She's a phenomenal broadcaster. But so many people, when they go see these events, whether it's a NASCAR race or an F1 race in Miami or, you know, seeing this in D.C., they see what is possible and they're like more of this. You know, they want this to be a regular occurrence in D.C. And I think anything that bridges people and allows them to forget that.
05:11
Their politics for a few hours, that is a massive win for culture and for the country.
05:16
And D.C. benefited. Certainly the president. This is probably the last big America 250 event closing out the summer with this. And the contrast being what we saw over the weekend with Hassan Piker mocking Charlie Kirk.
05:31
This and the octagon was the best.
05:34
You know how when a CEO retires, Dana, and they put him on the board, and then when he gets really old, they make him chairman? Emeritus. Emeritus. Am I saying that correctly? Correct. It's basically like the old guy that still got it. Trump should be that. He should be, after his terms up, president emeritus. And they should fly him in every quarter for a board meeting, and he could just do stuff in D.C. You were right. No one thought this was possible. Between this and the ballroom and the fighting, he's really creative.
06:05
And no one else thinks about this stuff. And it's good because people love it. Now they don't drink anymore in D.C. They might as well just...
06:13
cheer for racing van holland is your typical squirrely politician okay i'm not seeking an endorsement i'm not not seeking endorsement i do not accept nor i do reject come on we know what's going on here if the communists win they're gonna pick him over schumer that's what this is so he's kind of flirting with these guys but he doesn't want to be seen doing the walk of shame I've been doing a lot of Bible study with Harold and Greg, and I think I'm pretty certain that this Piker guy, not getting into heaven.
06:50
I would not be giving the middle finger to the gods saying things like this.
06:58
It's called karma. And we've seen guys like this before. And bad things happen to guys like this. That's all I'm going to say. I'm not predicting it. I don't know anything that could happen. But bad energy. I'll leave it at that.
07:14
Ray, what do you think about the contrast of the weekend?
07:17
Well, you know, I'm conflicted talking about Hassan Piker. It's like autoerotic asphyxiation.
07:24
Asphyxiation.
07:25
Thank you. I wouldn't know how to pronounce it.
07:28
But news outlets will avoid describing it in order to reduce the contagion effect. They don't want other people doing it. And I don't really want other people imitating Piker. He is the human version of autoerotic asphyxiation. If you try to do that, you will not have the wealth and the family that he has to save yourself when you get fired from your job for doing stupid things. You know, Kirk openly debated him and the interaction was professional and cordial. And it wasn't until Kirk was murdered that he does the Macarena on his gravestone.
08:01
And this is kind of the asymmetry that we talk about all the time. that, you know, we get dragged into these both sides arguments and we're like, can't you see? It's not both sides. You know, we're civil and you ridicule his death. These juxtapositions are there all the time. But yet the moment you bring it up, someone will say, yeah, well, you guys on the other side, did you know that Donald Trump called Rosie O'Donnell a pig? And it's like, shut up. You're right about the India event. As American as it is Trumpian, it's fun, patriotic, inventive, and it requires people who know how to do stuff to pull it off.
08:39
That's a contrast to socialism where achievement is a negative. You know, there's you don't get you don't see innovation or. or fun, or recreation from a socialist. Socialism is measured by, like, how much of the existing order you can undo and not whether you can make things better. It was like Karl Marx spent his entire lifetime saying markets sucked and maybe a few graphs on what happens after you destroy them.
09:07
It's about creating a permanent framework to oppose the existing system through a moral lens.
09:15
Capitalism is corrupt. Capitalism is exploitive. Well, what do you got in place of it? All we can do is tear it down.
09:23
We do this. I do this. We we we describe socialism as a system when, in fact, it's an anti system. You know, capitalism is a system. This is the negation of a system. It doesn't offer any economic principles, resource allocation incentives. Instead, it only diagnoses and criticizes in order to demolish. This is why professors love this. Professors love this stuff because their entire work. is to diagnose and criticize but never create. So what we have lived through with various kind of like socialist entities is the rupturing of previous successful systems in all different countries.
10:04
They'll come in, degrade a system for 10 years, and then everybody comes to their senses and go, what were we thinking? Yeah. And then they have to return to their senses and play catch up for all those years that they've lost in wealth and growth. And then by then, this entity has moved somewhere else.
10:23
It reminds me of there's some grocery store owners here in New York who are suing Mom Donnie. Yeah. One of them was interviewed today. We played it on Newsroom. And I was like, if Mom Donnie doesn't watch that and feel empathy for that guy.
10:34
Yeah.
10:35
Then we are up, you know where, without a you know what.
10:39
Wow. Up a where? You know where. All right.
10:42
Coming up next, do data center critics have all the data? President Trump thinks her argument does not compute.
10:51
She was wrong.
11:17
President Trump is downloading on critics of data centers, which lately become all the rage to rage against. Politico calling it data centers oblique moment as tech companies worry the growing fight could become a political headache all the way through 2028. But the president says the benefits will far outweigh the blowback.
11:37
You pick the right location. What it means for a community is jobs and lots of money and lower taxes.
11:44
And the data centers now are mandated by me that they build their own electricity. So they're not taking it from the grid. It's going to lower the electric cost. If I ran a community, if I was a mayor or if I was a governor in the state, I would want to have the data centers because they bring tremendous income.
12:03
Well, it's not just the left. Texas Governor Greg Abbott supports data centers, but says developers dug their own grave by blindsiding local communities.
12:13
They pop up in places that nobody ever heard of before until they started the construction. And so they had not been working in collaboration with the state. They'd not been working in collaboration with local governments. And so they basically dug their own grave for the problem that's been caused for them. And that's why they got the backlash they deserve.
12:33
But do the critics have all the data? One of the main arguments spreading against Data centers is the amount of water they waste.
12:43
But recent analysis paints another picture compared to other industries. Data centers use far less water than cattle, power plants, homes, golf courses and steel production. That's something that you've talked about, Greg.
12:56
So I have. And thank you for coming to me first because I'm so prepared. OK.
13:01
We're a big country, and there are poor areas that could be turned into powerhouses in a period of months or years with data centers.
13:12
Loudoun County generates a billion dollars in local revenue, tax revenue. And data centers have been there for 20 years, but now people are picking up on it. But this should be a non-issue. I think the issue is we're probably scared. But Scott Adams, I haven't mentioned in a while. Oh, great.
13:29
made this amazing assessment, which has almost never been wrong. When you're on the verge of something big, it's indistinguishable from collapse.
13:40
Everything it's when it comes to it's just it's like how we were before Y2K. So think about this. We have 40 trillion in debt. We're going off a cliff. No one seems to think of a solution or even care. Why is that? Because economists know that just one GDP point. raised by AI will wipe it out. A half a point makes it manageable. This is where it's all going to converge. And I'm really curious, especially with our viewers, if you haven't started playing with AI yet.
14:15
I mean, AI is not something you need to learn. You could just play with it. And it's the only thing that you can play with. And you figured out. This is why it's just screwed the Ivy League. You can't make a class on AI because in two months, you're behind the curve. But if you get up every morning, you get on Grok or Chachy PT or Claude and just...
14:38
Start asking it information about the rest of your day, how you're going to do things. What are you going to do? You're going to figure this out faster than any professor could learn and teach you. This is why it's going to destroy education. It's going to make it so much better.
14:54
Anyway, that's me.
14:56
Greg mentioned Loudoun County. There's some tension there. That's an example of Western versus Eastern, the development and the revenue versus the more rural half that says the consumption is probably on our land.
15:08
Sure. And I think there are legitimate questions that can be asked before a data center is put in.
15:14
I am not having worked in high tech PR before I went to Washington. I am not at all surprised that big tech screwed this up. And then they turned to President Trump like, can you help us? Can you cover us here? Because we we forgot to talk to the communities. Sorry about that. Now, some communities have done very well. I think there's one in Louisiana where every teacher in the school district got fifty thousand dollar bonus. $50,000 bonus. Okay. Like you, you can shake them down.
15:38
Yeah.
15:39
Okay. And then president Trump is saying, okay, you have to provide your own power. I asked a guy today. Well, then what kind of power is that? How does that working? Are they doing it on site? Does it pollute? Like these are legitimate questions. As soon as I saw Aaron Brockovich get involved, I was like, Oh, here we go. Because if you don't know her, look her up on your Grok or your chat GPT, because that's where a lot of this comes from. And part of it is legit. And the other part of it is fear. Like when the bicycle took over the horse, right?
16:09
And people are like, what are you gonna do with all the horses? Well, so...
16:13
We've gone through big technological innovations. This was happening very fast. And some school districts or counties are doing very well. I understand the concerns and the fears. But I also think about reality. When you have 71 percent of Americans saying that they're against data centers, that they would rather have a nuclear power plant next door than a data center.
16:36
there are both legitimate concerns and also has become a thing where you have politicians now saying, okay, we're out, which is not the right answer. President Trump, at least, is giving the right answer. He's right on the policy, might be wrong on the politics, but if he's persistent and leads, he can make the politics bend back in his direction.
16:56
And his idea, that was your idea, where you were saying make them be self-sufficient so it isn't a drain on the farms and the communities.
17:04
Remember that? I've been doing this show for a while. We just saw a bird fly in the window.
17:09
That has never happened. It hasn't happened. That has got to be the dumbest bird we've ever seen. It's a sign. What is it, a sign of? I don't know. More on that later.
17:18
Probably a mom-dommy supporter.
17:21
Flying blind. I cannot wait to talk more about data centers. Are we doing the WNBA next? Yes. Awesome.
17:29
Big tech blows it. I'm now doing PR for big tech for free. Unpaid consultant. You're welcome.
17:38
Again, we rename these data centers golden tickets. Everybody wants a golden ticket in their backyard. We also just fix the marketing. You get a town here that just shakes them down. You slap a 1% tax on all the computers inside the data center, and you count the money. Hey, do you want massage chairs in your park? Sure. Do you want Olympic-sized swimming pools with 10-feet diving boards? Yes! Wow. New squad cards for the police department. I mean, you pick something, you can get it.
18:11
This is pouring in so much money. People don't even know what to do with it anymore.
18:17
And now we're talking about if you can tax labor, if we're all becoming more productive, like Greg said, you could erase the budget deficit. I don't understand why people are against this. Anytime you're streaming, you need a data center. Anytime you're door dashing, anytime you're watching me on Instagram or TikTok, you need a data center. So just do it. Cut a deal and squeeze these rich data center tycoons for all they're worth. Because if they're not going to do it for your town, the town across the railroad tracks, they're going to get it done there.
18:51
Well, Dana brings up a really interesting point about people wanting nuclear reactors in their communities. You can actually have both. You can have self-sufficient data centers with small, modular reactors. And that technology is here and it's implementable within the next couple of years. And there are several companies that are working on these mini reactors. safe nuclear reactors that can be essentially clipped together. That's why they're modular. So depending on what the power needs are for the data center, I mean, this is essentially free, abundant, clean energy that doesn't take energy and resources away from the communities.
19:29
And that is the fear that is driving these politicians to be so dead set against data centers because because people don't want their electricity bills to go up. They don't want eminent domain. They don't want their land taken for these data centers. But if these big tech companies, if they can figure out a way to be self-sufficient and use this emerging technology, then everyone can benefit. I asked my friend Thomas Massey, who is kind of against data centers right now, which surprised me because he's an MIT grad, very pro-tech.
19:59
And he said, as long as they build on old steel mills And places like that that no one else will build upon, you know, that could also be a big forward-moving proposition that would help communities and also kind of power the future.
20:15
You can also put them all in Alaska if you want. Shoot them into space. Yeah, I mean, the thing is, it's a missed opportunity for these states, but they could put them. It's not that important where they go. They just have to be in places that are colder than hot.
20:28
What about the shopping mall? Those are empty. There you go. Tell that to Emma.
20:34
chicks right i know all right coming up next speaking of chicks the wnba is dragging their feet on men playing in women's sports and it's courting more controversy that was funny
21:14
And right before the break, this was the scene inside Wintrust Arena after Natasha Cloud got that bucket. She wanted her voice heard.
21:24
Freedom isn't free in the WNBA. And is Cantor Freedom getting the boot from a game after Chicago Sky player Natasha Cloud went berserk on him? Freedom says she screamed, she's not going to sleep with you after he cheered on Sophie Cunningham. But maybe she was peeved by the T-shirt he was wearing and that had the definition of a woman on it.
21:46
And while the league debates guys in women's sports, Toronto's WNBA team just revealed their new non-binary turtle mascot. Yes, I said that. Dez is a blue snapping turtle who uses she, they pronouns and has a fondness for soft shell tacos.
22:07
I don't know.
22:08
I don't even want to say anything.
22:10
Does anybody want to say anything?
22:12
Do you want to hold my hand? That's a euphemism.
22:13
Why don't you go ahead, Emily?
22:15
Oh.
22:19
About the Ennis thing. I can't. I can't. The tacos are.
22:23
Look, my first thought when I saw that was, like, thank you. Ennis, thank you for standing up for us. Oh, thank you. And then I'm like, why is a league for women, by women, of women, why aren't they standing up for us? Where's the commish? Where are the coaches? And the coach that stood by cloud there, the Sky Team coach, I... I wish that Sophie Cunningham's coach, the fever coach, would take an example from her. That's how you stick up for a player. Because Cloud was firmly in the wrong. I think it's juvenile and ridiculous for a professional athlete to show that side of themselves, to show that triggering from whatever.
23:01
And then if it's just about her thinking Sophie's getting too much attention and he wanted to... So it's jealousy? Yeah. Or is it the argument that he's standing up for women? Either way, to me, is untenable, frankly. And I think it's laughable, too, that a league that has children removed and women have to take off their shirts because they just say chromosomes on them are blasting on the jumbotron. Hey, trans fans, everyone is welcome. Like the virtue signaling has rotted that league.
23:31
Kennedy, it seems like the women don't have the mental toughness to handle a heckler.
23:38
He wasn't even heckling. She was heckling him.
23:41
That is someone who lacks emotional regulation. And that is not a good example for young women in the crowd who are looking up to you, who hope to someday play for the WNBA so they can get beat up by the men who are going to. And look at Ennis Freedom Cantor or Ennis Cantor Freedom there. Look at that wingspan. I mean, that is enviable. You're telling me there is a single coach in the WNBA that doesn't look at that and think, holy underwear. Boy, would we love to have some defense like that. You know, wouldn't it be nice to have a big man in the women's league blocking every shot that those Thumbelinas throw up?
24:17
And, you know, it's like he was he was. Yeah, he was there cheering on Sophie Cunningham, which is enviable and valid. And I really fear that they're going to use this skirmish as a way to ban Ennis Freedom from any future WNBA games. And then they're going to say, well, sorry, you're on probation with the league. You can't even go as a fan. Therefore, you cannot declare yourself eligible for the draft. That is not going to fix their problem because behind Ennis Cantor Freedom, there are a ton of women who might have at one point played in the NBA who would love to play once again and enjoy those soft tacos.
25:01
Banned from a WNBA game, Dana. Yeah, that's going to be you. Is that really necessary? That's you.
25:05
You're like, I self-banned. You're like, I don't want to go. So the first thing I thought of this morning when I saw the rundown for Newsroom and this was on, I was like, oh, wow, Jesse's not going to enjoy this because you said you were tired of talking about the WNBA. And you know what? So am I.
25:18
Here's the thing. They are like...
25:21
They're proving that women shouldn't have a league. It's too dramatic. Why can't you just play? Do you want to hold my hand?
25:28
I actually want to get canceled for this. Okay, here's the other thing. Last night, apparently, or whenever this happened, Caitlin Clark had some record-breaking game, okay? She, like, broke some record. Eight threes. What is it? She shot eight threes. Eight three-pointers, okay?
25:45
Eight threes, but that was over a month.
25:47
Yes, so...
25:49
Nobody's talking about that accomplishment because we have to talk about the non-binary turtle, whatever. And also, I am going to get canceled. Let me last comment.
26:03
Put this up.
26:03
The league has a problem in that it's not a communications problem. It's a policy problem that starts at the top. And none of this is going to get better until they fix that. However, I do think that all of this controversy and all of this drama is driving more people to buy tickets, to go to the game, to see what's going to happen next. And that's not good for the actual athletics, of which I care so much.
26:27
I can't wait to see what other T-shirts.
26:30
Can you show me the picture? I look at this mascot, and I'm thinking this is the least...
26:37
Like friendly. It's it's it's creepy. Like if I were a child, I would run from that. I would report it to the police. I would see that thing driving away in a windowless paneled van. That is like that is like sex pest extraordinaire. I don't know who it is, but it is the it is without question. It's like pretending to be childlike. It's kind of creepy.
27:01
Anyway, it's Megan Rapinoe.
27:02
Oh, so you can treat what Ennis is doing like a joke. But at some point, it's not going to be a joke. Some guy will come along and mean it. And it makes you wish a stunt like this took place like 10 or 15 years ago. That would have like head off all of the other documented real world examples that we've seen. Now, these are all downstream from a luxury belief. Men in women's prisons, women's shelters for domestic violence. Men can go in there as women. Bathrooms, lockers, changing facilities, beauty pageants, modeling, female only sports, obviously waxing salons and women only spas and and other places like saunas.
27:44
So it's not just about this.
27:48
All of this happened because nobody took it seriously. They addressed the trans issue in some kind of virtue signal, and it left a huge loophole for perverts to game the system, to exploit it. And what happened was they vastly outnumbered the people that were actually, and most trans don't even care about this crap, but the men, the autogynophiles who figured out a way to get into it, That's how they did it. I will say this. Nobody on the other side of trans can legitimately comment on this because you compelled us for years to listen to the most absurd people from Rachel Levine to the luggage thief, drag queen story hour, the perverse sex ed classes.
28:29
So if this offends you, sit it out. Now you know how we feel.
28:33
Yeah, we definitely, you guys know how we feel about that.
28:37
Coming up, the hair gel freezes over in California. Gavin Newsom gives President Trump some credit.
28:45
Yeah. This morning.
29:08
Well, the worst person you know is making a great point. Gavin Newsom praising President Trump and the accounts for newborns, which offers a cool brand to babies born between 2025 and 2029. Watch.
29:23
I'm enthusiastic about encouraging people to get a Trump account.
29:30
I think it's incredibly important.
29:33
It's one of the best things he's done. And so we're here to encourage people to take advantage of this, to not fall prey to the politics or the cynicism or maybe even the fear that if I download a Trump account, somehow that means something. It doesn't.
29:50
Okay, Jesse, I understand what he's saying and why he's saying it, but I'm so distracted by his hands.
29:58
It looks like he's wearing meat gloves and doing sign language with giant meat gloves.
30:02
Deaf people. It's very open-minded of them.
30:07
I respect that he's praising it. Maybe it's political, but who cares? I have four Trump accounts for my four children. You do 5,000 a year. And by the time they're retired, they're like all millionaires. Compound interest is the greatest thing. And it's not the Obamacare website.
30:24
I, who's not tech savvy, had no trouble setting this thing up. There were no glitches. It was smooth. And then you have the app on your phone and you can just watch it. It's pegged to an index fund. It's so beautiful.
30:38
Dubya, as he likes to be known as, would he propose privatizing partially Social Security? If we had done that, Social Security benefits would have been two times what they were. It would have beaten whatever the government return was. And the whole program would have been solvent.
30:55
The market is a great place to be.
30:58
And it turns your kids into Republicans.
31:00
For the record, I was in favor of privatizing Social Security in 99 and 2000 when it was not a favorable proposition. You're absolutely right. Will we get it right here?
31:11
Well, I think that this is, for Gavin Newsom, a 2028 play. And I believe that it's going to pit some of these, you know, the 20 candidates that run in 2028. And we, as reporters and anchors and maybe even moderators of debate, are going to say, will you keep Trump accounts?
31:33
And Gavin Newsom will be able to say, I said it a long time ago, I think it's a great idea for the market, okay? What's AOC going to say? What's Buttigieg going to say? What's Al-Sayed going to say? Like, well, all these people, so they're going to put each other against each other. But by then, it'll be three years, and you'll have so many people who have the app, and like, why are they going to get rid of that? Actually, we should figure out a way to make it bigger. I think that the best thing that Democrats could do, Democrats, Democrats could do is say, great, love it, move on. But...
32:01
Their blindness hurts them. Tonight, Glenn Youngkin on Parino on politics, we talk about the other thing that they won't take advantage of. President Trump gave all this education money in the big, beautiful bill. Only 30 states have taken them up on it. Twenty of the governors, the Democrats, are like, nope, not going to do that. We're not going to give money to kids for education. Nope, we're not going to do it.
32:22
And Newsom has had the same trouble in his state. You know, he tried to do a similar program and no one is taking advantage of it, probably because the California program is much more confusing. But your daughter was was born in the window where she actually was not.
32:39
She was born at a hospital, Kennedy.
32:42
Don't spread these lies. Look, this is amazing. I did some math here, and I'm not good at it. You are good at it. You can have $350,000 to $500,000 in the kid's bank account by 21.
32:55
It's a better retirement account than Social Security because by the time your kid's 55, you can have anywhere from several million to $10 million. It's incredible. So like you said, it's like the Republicans are saving, are giving these kids compound interest. Meanwhile, Democrats only have an interest in aborting the kid. See what I did there? But you know what's great about this? And Trump knows it. It's called the Trump account. That means probably the best achievement he's going to have, which is everybody's it's going to be a household word, a Trump account, but it's not going to be Obamacare.
33:29
You know, it's not going to be fraught with, oh, my God, this sucks. Obamacare costs everybody money.
33:36
Trump account is giving you money. It's a 401k for kids.
33:41
Yep. 401k for kids.
33:45
What was that?
33:46
You're thinking of cars for kids.
33:49
Whatever happened to those kids? 401k.
33:51
All those kids are in prison. Did You know, they all got taxpayer funded pornography, Jesse.
34:00
So anytime the government gets involved in retirement, it just means that there's not going to be any retirement. So this really is the only hedge that so many Americans have against a system that is racing toward insolvency.
34:14
That's why I actually was shocked at how he described why he thought this was so amazing. He said it's not lost in bureaucracy, results-oriented, direct and tangible. And that is the opposite of how he has governed California. And this is now arguably one of the figureheads of the Democrat Party that is admitting that the best thing possible is to have results-oriented, non-bureaucratic investment opportunity. And think about what we're hearing, the messaging from the rest of the party. They are saying...
34:45
Take from all of those people who have gained a lot of money and then redistribute it. Trump came in and said, here, I'm going to give you access to the machine that creates wealth. And now we have a Democrat that says, yeah, that's a fantastic idea. He is being told with his same colleagues, attacking wealth creation. saying that this is terrible. Think about all they say, the stock market, the wealthy Wall Street cronies. But now Trump has made it so that every child and every family, regardless of income, can actually have that same access to that wealth creation.
35:16
So I think this is a beautiful gift for the GOP for messaging to say, yeah, look, even the left sees why this is common sense amazing.
35:24
Coming up, brain worm, meat ear worm. RFK Jr.'s got a banger ringtone. Stay with us.
35:57
Yeah, RFK Jr. interrupted by his quack ringtone while discussing autism. Roll it, Randall.
36:05
You have a responsibility to do better on an autistic story about that.
36:13
Dana, was that quack Dr. Fauci?
36:15
Ah, yes. You know what? My mom and RFK Jr. have something in common. Same annoying ringtone. Oh, wow. I think she changed it to a train whistle, which isn't really that much better.
36:25
Do you have an annoying ringtone, Jesse? Yeah, it's you talking. I think when you're an elderly person like you...
36:33
You are enraptured by whimsy. Ah, whimsy. Whimsy. You wear funny colored socks and goofy little ties and your ringtone is like a fart. You know, old people enjoy this type of stuff. For them, it's like a sense of humor. For everybody else, it's just annoying.
36:53
Kennedy, do you agree with Jesse? Oh, whimsy. Whimsy, a little bit of whimsy.
36:58
I was watching that going, shut the duck up. And he does travel around with sauerkraut in his wife's purse. Yeah, nice. He has quite a bit of whimsy in his life.
37:09
Sauerkraut in my wife's purse.
37:11
That is not a euphemism for the WNBA mascot.
37:14
I would do a doctor for that, Emily.
37:16
Soft shell crab. What do you think? Everyone's ringtones are annoying if they're not yours. But the thing that gets me is when someone's ringtone is my alarm sound. Then I, like, have a flare-up freakout. I remember one time in law school, someone's ring... This is 20... The cell phone went off, and the professor was like... That is the ringtone of my mother-in-law, and he said that out loud, and he was like, shut it off! Mary, like, we were like, sorry, buddy, put it on Vibrate.
37:44
Oh, my God. That was a great story. Yep. More of those, Emily?
37:48
All right.
37:48
Coming up.
37:49
One more thing. Next.
37:50
Yeah.
38:15
It's time now for one more thing. I have an announcement. We have an announcement. Fox News has an announcement. Emily Campagno is now officially joining the five cast.
38:26
We're so happy to have you. In 2018, that was your first show.
38:29
I don't know if you remember. We haven't been there.
38:31
Look at that. Oh, little tiny baby Emily.
38:35
It's exactly the same. Baby Emily. 2018. Congratulations. We love your input. The audience loves you, and you're a wonderful, amazing team player at Fox News.
38:44
Thank you. I love you guys. Thank you. I don't even know what to say. I'm just overcome with joy and gratitude, and I'm very humbled and thrilled. Thank you all so much.
38:51
I love you. Well, guess what? You don't even get to go next. Greg. I love you.
38:55
Tonight, ooh, this is, wow, this is Tom Shalhoub, Stu Berger, Sean Davis. It's a nerd-a-thon. Let's do this.
39:06
Greg's Sexy Hippo News. Roll it.
39:13
You know, hippopotamuses mate almost exclusively in the water. Male hippos attract females, Dana, by urinating and defecating at the same time, which is what I do. Then they spin their tails like a propeller to fling their feces all over the place. Something I cannot do. You know that 90% of male hippos are completely excluded from mating? Only 10% dominate the aquatic territory.
39:37
Really good information to have.
39:39
Jesse, what do you got going on? All right. Saturday night, we were at the Bruno Mars concert. No sexy hippos that night. Today, we had the fourth annual golf outing for the New Jersey State Police Former Troopers Heritage Foundation. Awesome. How'd you play? I didn't play.
39:54
I just showed up for the pictures.
39:56
Tonight, we have Abdul from Michigan on Jesse Waters Prime Time. Check that out at 8 o'clock.
40:02
I cannot wait to see all of that. Emily.
