Sunny Hostin of the View is on tape trying to get her son out of legal trouble by pulling the Harvard card. I've got thoughts. First, though, there are already major developments in the race to be the Democratic nominee for president in 2028. We're rooting, of course, for Kamala to give it another go. It does sound like that may be happening, because look at this headline from New York magazine this morning. Quote, like it or not, Kamala Harris is the front runner. You go girl. You got this. Don't believe the naysayers. Look at New York magazine. They're acknowledging you're the front runner. That's right. Despite cackling through a billion dollars in 107 days only to fail by losing every single swing state, the Democrats are seriously considering giving Kamala Harris another chance. I love them so much. Thank you, Democrats. Thank you. New York magazine quotes one of her former aides as saying, quote, she walks in as the front runner. It is fairly obvious she's followed wherever she goes. And I don't want to upset any narratives that any of the other candidates are pushing, but she comes in with 99% name ID and everyone else is going to have to raise money and. And buy it. So you're right. Campaign aid. You are correct. She. She's got a running start. Let her run. The more America saw of Kamala Harris, of course, the less they liked her as a presidential candidate. But who cares? Because she's a woman and she's black. And if you are a Democrat, that's all that matters. But Harris's advisors somehow came to the opposite conclusion, that she was building momentum with voters, determining that the problem for her in losing was simply that she didn't have enough time to show America who she really was. The problem is not that we got to know her and didn't like her, is that we didn't get to know her. Okay, so after four years as vice president, not to mention her time prior to that as senator and her time in California politics and then her 107 days on the campaign trial, we just didn't know her. That's. Yes, let's not disabuse them of that notion. You're right. If we get to know her better, I'm sure you're going to have a different result next time around. And I'm sure, you know, in a debate setting against JD Vance or Marco Rubio, she. She would really shine. All right. Now, I shouldn't say that, because the one thing she was actually pretty decent at was the debates. I'm. I'm going to give her that legitimately. It could have been worse. Let's put it this way. So now she's trying to repair and rebuild. She is meeting with members of the far left part of her party, the anti Israel wing, and has even reportedly reached out to New York's socialist Muslim mayor, Zoran Mamdani. And that's very interesting. I mean, he's got a constituency, and she wants it. Uh, so listen, this woman is running. Why would somebody like Kamala Harris reach out to him if she weren't. New York magazine quotes a supporter who recently met with Kamala as saying the following, quote, she's looking for where the wave is going and is determined to ride it. Yeah, ride it, sister. Her mindset is that I should have won and I am going to do it my way because my way would have won. And it was all these consultants that were telling me to take this position or that position, and it was their fault. Yes, it was their fault. Hold on a second, because there's another quote in there that's absolutely spectacular where she said, hold on, I'm pulling the article, which is right here. Not she. Somebody says, here's the final line from a Democratic strategist in the New York magazine piece. I hope she runs, said Alex Hoffman, a Dem strategist who advises several major party donors. Quote, because then she will lose and we will never have to hear from her again. She will never win an election at a national scale. Never. So will they listen to this Alex Hoffman, or will they listen to Kamala? I. I don't. I don't know. The Democrats do have some other choices, including the congresswoman from New York, Alexandria Ocasios Cortez. Sandy. Sandy Cortez. That's what she went by until she decided to get into national politics. Yes. Aoc, as she's colloquially known, is getting praise back to Mayor Mum Donnie. He's the kingmaker now himself. Getting praise from him in an interview with the New York Times. He got the Lulu Garcia Narvar, whatever Navarro treatment over the weekend and did not hold back on whether AOC would be a strong commander in chief. Watch. We all have to take a step back and appreciate what it is that she means to so many across this country. And the reason for it is the work that she has done. I think she'd make a good president. I think she would make a good anything. Okay, we do know one thing about aoc. She will not be afraid to pander to Democrat voters. Listen to how she changed her accent while campaigning for House candidate Justin Pearson before a predominantly black audience in Memphis on Friday. Watch. Brothers and sisters, we cannot afford to leave Tennessee behind. We cannot afford to leave Kentucky behind, Alabama behind, Mississippi behind, Georgia behind, South Carolina behind. Sister Presley and I were in Montgomery, Alabama, and one of the things that we said was that it is time for the north to roll up to the South. We will not be chased out of places anymore. Brothers and sisters, it is going to take all of us together, rejecting the separation for us to Organize and speak life into one another. Because we will. We will see the day where we will turn the crooked path straight. Memphis, Sister Presley and I. Sister Callahan and I have thoughts. Okay, look, maybe this is working. We don't. Do we really understand Democrat voters that well? I don't know that we do. Maybe that's going to work because now she's getting compared to Barack Obama and in Democrat circles, that's a good thing. That's a compliment. Axios's Alex Thompson has a new piece out entitled AOC channels Obama's Hope and Change message, pointing out that AOC in 2026 sounds an awful lot like Obama did back in 2007. Here she is campaigning for far left Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed over the weekend. Watch is the answer to our problems to turn to the same playbook over and over again. A playbook that says in order to win, we need to show deference to Trump by thanking his same ICE agency that has shot Renee Goode, Alex Preddy, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, and Johan Sebastian Duranguero. A playbook that says in order to win, we must be defenders of the same status quo that is drowning us and tells us the aspiration to change our government and the ambition to even try is foolish. No, it's not foolish, Michigan. It is the responsible and right thing to do. She's good. She's going to have to pick a lane, by the way, she's doing like the black thing. Is she doing the Hispanic thing? She's trying to be Barack Obama. But listen, by the way, speaking of Barack Obama, listen to his message. This was him speaking to Democrats in Iowa in 2007. The same old Washington textbook campaigns just won't do in this election. That's why I'm asking you to stop settling for what the cynics say we have to accept in this election, in this moment, let us reach for what we know is a nation healed, a world repaired, an America that believes again. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you. Can you believe people fell for that bullshit? A nation healed, a world repaired. And people were literally like, yes, he'll do it. Okay. The very first thing he did when he got elected was go on an apology tour for America across, saying how sorry we were for our foreign policy and then jammed a revision of 1/7 of the US economy down our throats without majority support, the first time an entitlement like that had been passed without majority support in US history. Obamacare, which is still struggling, unpopular and effed untold numbers of Americans over when it comes to keeping their doctor and their health care plan literally, people died. This is the same guy who gave Chris Matthews a thrill up his leg back in the day. I mean, what a weird media. We have thrill up his leg. Even like, if you have a thrill when watching a politician, shouldn't it be like, up your back, up your leg? Takes us to a strange place. Chris Matthews. That's just. I'm not sure as a man in particular, you really want to be saying another man makes you feel like that. I don't know. Maybe it's just me. Speaking of excitement, maybe AOC will give us more moments. Like this one when she went on the trail. She's been everywhere. You know, this is last year or two years ago, 2024. But, like, she's doing a lot of politicking for her fellow Democrats. Yet another sign she's got higher career aspirations. But here is where she went on the trail. For far left Congressman Jamaal Bowman in 2024, this was AOC unleashed. It didn't work. He was voted out of office. Notwithstanding this performance here by. I Sleep. What's up? It was just in my dmit. Are you ready to take this? You know, I remember Roger Ailes telling me that men don't like women who are screaming at them. There's a different news personality out there who I shall not name in this particular moment, who. Whom he did not like. And he used to say that it's only like a weird, fetish, fetishized section of men who want to be across from a woman who's screaming at them. And I think AOC might benefit if she took that advice to heart. In general. I mean, men and women, but especially men, don't respond well to a woman screaming her guts out at them. And honestly, I think most men want a woman they can respect, not somebody who's confused and still stuck in her teenage years and still thinks what would be badass is to show up in shorts and like a white button down, hop around the stage, whip your hair down like you're, you know, in back in the bar serving the margaritas. That's a good move as a cocktail waitress. Yeah, you want tips and you want to kind of look hot and sexy like you're thinking about sex. Let your hair down. Yeah, you go. Now you want to be taken seriously as a politician, and you think the way forward is to both try to project some sort of sex appeal, which failed, given the outfit you chose, and also to scream at the people. I don't. I Don't think so. Didn't work for Jamal Bowman. And I don't think it's going to work for AOC either. Okay, but as bad as these options are, Kamala and AOC for the Democrats, the Democrats would certainly prefer to talk about those two than what's going on in Maine in the wake of Graham Platner falling apart. As we told you, he won the Democrat, the Democratic primary for Senate in that state, but he was forced to withdraw after sexual assault allegations. I mean, he was on his way toward officially securing the nomination. And that's when everything fell apart with all these women coming forward. And then finally one woman came forward and said he raped her and he denied it, and that was the end of him. One of the candidates running to replace him wanting to take on Susan Collins in Maine, who's been very popular with Maine voters. She may not be popular with the Trump White House or the MAGA base, but, you know, Maine is a different kettle of fish and she's popular up there. And look, she's better than one of these far left Dems. But one of the candidates now vying to take on Susan Collins by replacing Graham Platner as the nominee is Ashley Webb. Ashley Webb is a man who had this to say about why the Democrats should nominate him to run against Collins. Ashley Webb, what qualifications do you have to serve in the U.S. senate? Well, oh, I ran for office several times. Didn't win, but they did run. And then I'm a songwriter, and then I write my own books. And then suppose my transparency. I wouldn't lie to the people and I wouldn't deceive the people like we're being deceived right now. Like, you wouldn't lie to the people, you wouldn't deceive the people. You are standing up there in a dress trying to pawn yourself off as a woman. So I'm feeling like you would lie to us and you would deceive us. That's just my own. That's my own feeling based on what I've learned about you, Ashley. It's even worse on Webb's Reddit account, which has since been deleted. What a shock. What a dope. He didn't even delete it before he decided to run for this seat. But we have the screenshots, of course. This one was posted about a year ago. Buckle up, okay? He wrote, quote, just forgive me in advance. Trigger warning here. When I am having this monthly period pain and it is not too bad, I feel something in my right side where my appendix is Located and something of the bladder. When the monthly pain is real bad, I am feeling something in both my right and left side and above my bladder. When you don't have the proper hole, it finds one of two exits. The guy in China was lucky and the exit was his bladder. Me, on the other hand, was not so lucky. Listen to this idiot. Me was not so lucky. My exit connection was made with my colon because when I get this monthly pain, that is where the blood comes out of the intersex. Like us don't get diagnosed until our 20s as we tend not to be born with extra holes. I didn't get diagnosed in my 20s because I was dealing with incompetent doctors. Where. Where do we begin? He is deceitful, he's not a woman, his name is not Ashley, and he is not menstruating with the blood coming out of his anus. That's not a thing. And just to be extra extra sure, I did consult my medical references this morning and it's not a thing. No matter what. He attempted to post some proof that this was his problem. It utterly failed apart, fell apart and failed to prove anything other than he's deranged, he's not a well man. About a year ago also, he allegedly posted the following on Reddit, quote, I don't like talking about the monthly rectal bleeding. Again, sorry, trigger warning. Because when I talk about it to doctors, it tends to get me colonoscopies that turn up nothings. Right. When any of us go into a doctor and say we have rectal bleeding, all of us would be given a colonoscopy. And he goes on and talking about the pain gets me CAT scans that turn up nothing. That's because there's nothing in there, sir. There's not. There's not a uterus and there's not ovaries. He continued, FYI, CAT scans can't find a uterus and ovaries, when they enter your gender as male, they use different scanning process for females. I see. So the CAT scan, which is supposed to survey. Take a. Take a. Basically a look inside of your abdominal cavity right below your stomach. It has special screening abilities for ovaries. And like you're in there looking around and what did they find? Sir? Nothing. Like your ovaries and your uterus just simply disappeared off the screen. And that was. And you had no testicles either. There were no gonads in there. I'm like, this person is a deranged lunatic. He thinks that he's got a bad doctor because he complained of bleeding out of his anus, and he was given colonoscopies. That's pretty much par for the course. It's kind of standard operating procedure. The next trip should have been to his psychiatrist, Webb, also revealing a report he says is from his CT scan just over the weekend. He. He just revealed this writing about it on Facebook. Quote, the radiologist addressed the adrenal gland and explicitly noted that the scrotum was not well evaluated by ct, but remained completely silent on ovaries despite being asked. Silence on a specifically requested finding isn't no evidence. It's an incomplete report, one that hasn't concluded whether ovaries are present or absent. Either way, anyone citing it as proof of anything about my anatomy is citing a document that doesn't answer the question they are claiming it answers. Well, I don't really need to see a scan of your cavities. Sir, can we rerun that sound bite we just ran? Here's my proof that you are a man. Actually, Webb, what qualifications do you have to serve in the US Senate? Oh, I ran for office several times. Didn't win, but I didn't run. And then I'm a songwriter, and then I write my own books. And then suppose my transparency. I wouldn't lie to the people, and I wouldn't deceive the people like we're being deceived right now. Like you wouldn't lie to us except to tell us that you have blood coming out of your ass that's from your uterus. I'm. We're going to have troubles, you and I, sir. Webb is also apparently tech savvy. He has a memoir entitled I Am Ashley. But he used an image generated. I mean, I would too, if I look like him. Generated by AI and check out the picture he chose to promote his. His memoir instead of what he really looks like. It's a stunning, slim, pretty woman, unlike the hulk of a man that Ashley actually is. Over here on screen. Right? This is unbelievable that this person participated in the debate. I mean, who'd you rather have, this guy or Graham Platner, the, you know, alleged rapist Nazi tattoo guy? I don't. I think I'd be voting for Platner. To the surprise of no one progressive, Troy Jackson is now considered to be a lock for this Democratic nominee spot in Maine. Instead of Webb. Instead of Platner. But this guy, Troy Jackson has his own troubles. As we reported to you back when his name first surfaced as a possible replacement for Webb. There is a. An X account called Progressive Victory that tweeted out that he, several years ago, in a heated disagreement with a colleague, struck her with a bottle he threw at her. And they went after him saying, this can't be a replacement for Graham Platner. It's like out of the frying pan and into the fire. Like, we don't want to upgrade from someone who didn't give, Didn't. Didn't get consent with his girlfriend before having sex with her to someone who's whipping beer bottles at female colleagues and hitting them. So that's a no. But now, in the wake of the Ashley Webb debacle, here's what Progressive Victory is tweeting now. When we received the information about Troy Jackson, our fear was that the left was about to accidentally rally behind another potential monster. We panicked and spread unverified allegations in a post about Troy Jackson that has rightfully received criticism. We agree with many of you that we acted in a manner that was irresponsible and inappropriate. I don't think that that's exactly a denial. That doesn't sound like a full retraction or even a denial. And I'm sure there will be some intrepid reporters now, probably from, you know, publications on the right, that are going to take a deep dive into Troy Jackson and see whether the first report was the true one. Because Progressive Victory had tweeted this when they tweeted out that information about hitting a woman with a bottle that he threw at her, quote, they said, we began asking our contacts on the ground in Maine about Troy Jackson earlier today, and they said that multiple people told him this, that it basically implying it was an open secret in Maine. So let's see. Because right now they're not saying, we regret the erroneous report. We're saying it was irresponsible and inappropriate of us to post it. And we spread an unverified allegation. That's not the same as saying it's not true. And we retract it. So that's going to be their candidate in Maine, Troy Jackson. And we shall see how Troy Jackson does. He's. He's on his way. Meantime, the operatives who helped make Graham Platner a thing are coming under scrutiny because, frankly, they just shat the bed so badly that a lot of Democrats are looking at them like, should we allow these people to have anything to do with our party ever again? There's one guy, his name Daniel Morath. He was educated at Brown University and Yale Law School. His grandfather was the founder of the predecessor business of toys R Us. This is all outlined in a Politico piece that's pretty interesting is up today. And he had described Moraff when he was pitching Platner as the candidate, as a cross between a rugged JFK and Bernie Sanders. Sadly for them, that JFK analogy proved to be very true, hailing him as one of the most talented politicians of our time. Maybe any time. They were so excited to find somebody who had actual testosterone, they didn't know what to do with themselves. That's me, not Politico. The email which was obtained by Politico carried the subject line, I think this guy is going to be president. Then there was a guy named Morris Katz. He's a Zoram hamdani guy who's 27 years old and an ad maker who alerted his fellow Democrats. We found a model here to win over working class voters. Find a guy that looks like he's a union working class guy and put him forward. So how'd that work out for you people? Because now you are in tatters and it certainly looks like you are going to be stuck with this guy who may or may not have thrown and hit a woman with the projectile bottle not too long ago or, I don't know, some years ago. Either him or Ashley Webb, whose real name is James Charles, James Charles Webb. And if you decide to go with James Charles Webb or even by engaging in the fiction that this person could possibly represent Maine in the United States Senate, here's a little news update for you on the latest from the transgender community, which our audience knows is not the best adjusted community. They're not, they're really not all that well together as a rule. Might be some individual exceptions on a case by case basis, but there's an overwhelming percentage of people who suffer or claim to suffer from this problem, the vast majority of whom are males who are working out their sexual fetish on us. That leads to a hair trigger and we've seen in too many instances turns them into actual trigger men. But the latest example comes out of Florida. Now, this thing happened in 2025, but for some reason is just now hitting the Internet now. And here's what happened. It was in Florida. It led to the arrest of a male student at the University of Central Florida down there. I'm going to show you the video in one second. But the video shows police approaching two students, one of whom is the student identified in arrest records. His name is Jarrett Preston Vick, 26 years old. It's kind of old for a student. Maybe he's a Grad student. And the cops were approaching these students as part of their investigation into a reported car theft on the Orlando campus. No word that this guy actually committed the car theft. That wasn't one of the charges that would wind up resulting from this encounter. But the cops had a legitimate reason to be there. They were trying to do their business, conduct an investigation. And they had the unfortunate experience of running across Jarrett Preston Veeck. Watch this. What's the problem? Why do you let those kids get away with this? They are not supposed to be here. If you don't lower your voice, I am going to put handcuffs on you and I'm going to take you to a Baker act facility. Lower your voice. Fucking try it. Are you threatening me? You're threatening me. Are you threatening me? I'm nervous right now. To deal with a stolen vehicle. I ain't got time to hear you screaming and yelling. I. I don't have time to constantly be abused. We'll get. We'll get OPD down here then. Cuz I gotta. I gotta work this stolen vehicle. What do you mean OPD? Alpha 73. University. Alpha 73. Can we get another unit to deal with Jay Lee? Here he is having a break. Say the right pro now. What'd you say? 73, 51. Get down on the ground right now. No, no. You're about to get sprayed. No. Get down on the ground right now. Get away. You don't tell me where to go. Let me stop you. You cop. Alpha 73 University. Jayla, I wanted. No, no, no. It's too late. It's too late now. He's. He's gonna lean. You need to stop. Stop. She's taking. I just want to get away from him. I understand that he needs he. Stop. Get on the ground right now. Don't get on the ground me. Get on the ground right now. Don't kill me. Get down on the ground right now. He's coming. Okay, so this person was ultimately charged with several, you know, offenses related to that behavior. Disorderly, resisting arrest, and is very, very angry that the police will not call him by his so called preferred pronouns. But the policeman was dealing in reality and he was clearly faced with a. Just like Ashley Webb, another hulking, deranged man posing as a woman, demanding that he be recognized as one of us. Well, I'm proud to say you're not one of us. You'll never be one of us. And frankly, you're doing a piss poor job of pretending to be one of us. His hair looked like a. Like one of Those wigs you would get if you ordered rocker, you know like 70s rocker, 80s rocker off of Amazon just pointing in every direction, covering his face. And frankly I can see why he wants to do that. He's not dressed like a woman. He just wants this police officer to know that in his heart he is one and then to call him she and thank God that cop operates in Ron DeSantis Florida and understood full well that Florida is a free state and a reality based state and that he would not be in any trouble for sticking to reality with that lunatic who was prancing around the Florida campus bothering God knows whom. Look, here's his mugshot. All male obviously and a pathetic excuse for one of those as well. But think about it. Kids in Florida are going to school with this lunatic who can't hold it again, you imagine being this guy's professor or colleague in the university setting. Or what if per se that person decided to run for and possibly even win a position into the US Congress? We do have one in the House of Representatives. I just think the Senate remains too august a body to ever go this far. But I could be proven wrong that Maisie Hirono's there. She's an idiot. But idios one thing and like absolute deranged lunatic is another. So I don't think it'll happen for Ashley Webb. And I urge the voters in the main Democratic contest to consider this case down in Florida before you go any further. As if the blood coming out of the anus is actually my period weren't enough. Okay, there you have an extra. There is, you know, some interesting information on the upcoming midterm elections which is what this is all about, right? Everybody's trying to like shore up their chances from Maine on down. And Harry Entin, the CNN data analyst gave us a little update on the generic ballot looking ahead to November. Take a listen to this in SOT 0. So the numbers show what, Harry? They show a big oh worry sign. At least compare it to history because I want to take it back through the history machine. I want to note, okay, House national July, CNBC watch Washington Post poll average midterm years. This is the generic ballot, right? Where were we back in 2006 when of course Democrats would go back on the win the House. They were up by 12 in an average of those two polls. How about 2018? They were up by an average of 10 in those two polls. Look at where that average is now. Well less than half of either the level of 2018 and 2006, way down there. Yes, they're ahead, but they're had. I have to shrink down on the screen. They're ahead by only four points, which is significantly less than what we saw in 2018 and 2006 when Democrats took back the House. So as I said, this is an. Oh, this is a warning sign. While, yes, Democrats are ahead not by anywhere near the margin they were in prior wave years. Okay, that's because they're so crazy. The Republican Party is not popular right now. The Iran war is not popular, and it's ramping back up. People are voting most of the time based on their pocketbook issues and President Trump's approval numbers there are in the toilet. So why would the Democrats only be four points ahead? You'd think they'd be crushing the gop, right? Well, they're not. Because of themselves. Because of them. They're cray cray. I mean, I've been saying this for months now. It's like, you know, I made the analogy of like, you're looking at your spouse and your spouse has put on like £75 and was sitting on the couch shoving potato chips into their mouth. Like little drool coming down and won't help out around the house. And you feel like you're doing everything and you're. Maybe your eye starts to wander, like maybe. Oh, okay. Hey, look at this person. They're looking pretty hot. They dress nicely, they have a good job, they care about their presentation, and bam. They tell you that they want to chop off little kids body parts hard. No, that's. That's the position voters are in right now, looking at the slothful Republicans, but then taking a look, you know, about possibly cheating on them. And you got true loons out there on the outside and voters are onto them. I mean, they saw how lunatic they were back in 2024. And it's actually funny because that political article I was telling you about about Kamala Harris goes into how now her people have convinced themselves and her that while they really thought that, you know, she's for they them, Trump's for you ad was devastating at the time. They changed their views on that. And it was really all about the fact that she had too short a time. That's really. That's what did it. It wasn't her positions on the issues like trans. So great. I mean, again, this bodes very well for the gop. This is a dream, frankly, for them. And you've got this Democratic Socialists of America group that we've been telling you about that wants to eliminate the US Senate, the Pentagon, funding for all police, all jails. I mean, we could go on. It's truly crazy shit. But they're growing, they're growing in popularity, at least among the left. And there's the New York Democratic Socialists of America chairman. This is a group, by the way. We saw them in Times Square on 108 after the attack on Israel on 10 7. I mean, on 10 8, when we were still fielding the videotapes of women with their bloodied pants thanks to attacks on them. Yes, there were rapes of Israeli women, the murders we saw all over Israel, of elderly women, of children, of innocent theater or concert goers, male and female, the torture that they were subjected to. CHEERING There was the DSA that was in the middle of Times Square, cheering and pulling down posters of the hostages, including babies, toddlers. Fucking vile. Okay, so this is a disgusting group that really should be nowhere near power, but they're, they're winning. And their chair, Gustavo Gordillo went on Fox News, which is kind of interesting. And here is, well, a little bit of what he said. Here's Sat 16. Let's start with that one. The problem we're facing in our housing system is that we talk about tenants and we say they have to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. They have to be responsible financially. But when we look at the landlords, we don't use those same standards. Landlords in New York have been making a 12% return on their investment for on average, should they make what's fair for the landlord to make? If you don't like 12, they're complaining that 12 is not enough. And we don't think that anyone should have a constitutional right to double digit returns on their investment. That's why we've implemented no one should have a right to a double digit return on their investment. No one has a right. That's not, no, no one's in that and that's not in the constitution. But what we see is that when we implement a rent freeze, we have landlords who are crying that the government is going to put them out of business. They're trying to run a business and they're trying to do it effectively. Are all landlords perfect? Are some landlords lousy? Of course they are. But I just think that the idea that no one should make a double digit profit is the antithesis of the desire to like, you can be anything you want to be in New York. Yeah, in America. That's right. But this little man with the ponytail and the weird facial hair would like to dictate how much you can make on your business. If you're a landlord, he'll decide. This is right back to Barack Obama. I do think at a certain point you've made enough money. This is right back to his exchange with Joe the plumber, remember? And how, yeah, you've made enough money. And you didn't build that. You didn't build that. You know, you, you built your business, you didn't, you didn't really build that. You owe the government. Still just, you know, we, I was just thinking about this on the, on the death tax. It's like you earn money, you pay taxes on that money, then you get to put it in your bank account. If you want to pass it down to your children upon your death, they have to pay a massive death tax on it just for receiving that same money that you've already paid taxes on. And depending on your tax bracket, you may have spent as many as 50%, as much as 50% on your taxes. So you, you lost half your money that you earned. You paid that because you didn't build that. In other words, you did pay for the highways and the bridges and the maintenance of your fellow Americans. You really had no choice, but you did it. If you were honest and if you're not a New York real estate baron, not just Trump. I told you about this other guy I knew who was a big real estate guy who said his father would roll over in his grave if he found out that the son had paid $1 in taxes. They find a way to claim these huge losses so they don't have to pay anything. It's chumps like you and me who are salaried employees and that I am too, thanks to my business, that get stuck paying the full boat, that don't have all these weird fake write offs to diminish our income. And we have to pay basically half of our salary to the government. And you do that, and then when you die and you want to leave it to your kids, they have to pay another half. So it's like they get 25% of what you'd wanted to give them and what you originally took in. It's just outrageous. And it's because of the guys like this who are already in command. It's because of Democrats that we have a huge death tax and huge taxes and so on, because they never think they've taxed you enough ever, ever. And that guy, who I guarantee you has accomplished nothing in his life, nothing in terms of business, never signed the front of a paycheck as opposed to the back. As an employee who wants to decide how much you can make as a New York City landlord. And by the way, things in New York under his fellow Democrat socialist Zora and Mamdani are not going well at all. When I lived in Manhattan, I lived in the Upper west side. We were constantly on the west side Highway. That's the main thoroughfare that you take to get from the north to the south. If you live on the west side, on the east side, it's the fdr. And I was steps away from that and my child's school was steps away from that. And now for what is the block radius? It is roughly 12 blocks from 34th street up to 46th street, which is right, right by where I mean, so many people live off the, on the west side Highway. Just off of there, they have a huge homeless encampment. Huge. It's turned into a tent city and it's sprawling. According to Fox News reporting that. Yeah. Stretches nearly 12 blocks that the city has done very little to address it. It's full of tense trash and reported illegal activity. And take a listen to this sound bite. It aired on Fox just days ago with the people in New York. This is overwhelmingly Democratic. And I guarantee you a large collection of the New Yorkers interviewed voted for Zoram Mamdani because they wanted change, maybe even hope and change. And instead they got homeless encampments with trash and illegal activity everywhere. Listen to how they're reacting. And it's just getting worse. Apartment buildings keep going up. You know, people are paying good rent to live in this neighborhood and it's terrible. Drugs, prostitution and everything else in between. Yeah. I'm a tourist here in New York and I'm disappointed how the government failed to support homeless people. In fact, that's. They're not getting support. How they promised them make this a better place for everyone and make it a better place for tourists. We have enough problems bringing people from overseas into the United States. It seems like it's an unfriendly place to be. This is not a great book for us. I think they got to clean them up. They got to keep on top of them. This seven day stuff or whatever it is now is really not working. And they, they just need to keep cleaning up. I mean, I hope you like it because you're going to be getting a whole lot more of it as this radical group takes over the Democrat party. That's, that's why, that's one of the many reasons why those Harry Endon numbers are so bad for Dems. The gender issue, the embrace of the far left dsa. Who would vote for a party that wants to get rid of all prisons and cops and the Senate and the Pentagon? I mean, like, who? Just like victims here, victims here. That's really the messaging that they're going for. So, I mean, look, Republicans need to get their shit together. But that, that, that should provide some comfort on those cold nights leading up to early November when they're getting very worried about the historical trend of the party in power losing and losing mightily. There's one other that I wanna show you, and that is. Well, I don't know if we have time. Well, let's stick with this DSA guy, Gustavo Gordillo, who also said the following to Martha MacCallum, 15. How does the government become more democratized if the government takes over more of the power? So, for example, here in New York, if you have government owned grocery stores, right? In what world does it make sense to build a $30 million grocery store and put competitive pressure on the bodegas that are in the neighborhood? I think that what we saw in the mayoral campaign is the mayor was able to build a movement that inspired people to believe that we could have a government that works for ordinary people, that is actually responsive to the working class. Inspiration is great, but if you're the bodega owner, how would you feel if the government opened a big grocery store right next to your bodega? If one, if one publicly owned grocery store that brings prices down in the neighborhood is enough to put someone out of business, then maybe they shouldn't have been in that business in the first place. Okay, the bodega operators, now that's. Is this the hope and change Zora and Mamdani ran on? We're talking about these small kiosks and in some instances, storefronts that have, just like you've seen it, if you've gone to New York, just like a little hot bar where you get like sweet and sour chicken or something like that, or in the bodega and the sort of, the kiosks that are around, those are gonna be wiped out by these government stores. And this is progress. It's. It's better if the money goes to the man than to the mom and pop shops that are actually supporting families with their grocery sales. It's not what they promised, of course, because as we know from history, socialism never works. That's why it gets rejected every time it's tried. As every young person with stars in their eyes eventually learns in some instances the hard way. We'll be right back with Sunny Hostin.

We got a lot going on for you here. Still, I got a lot I want to say about a couple subjects here. All right, we've got on the subject of politics before we leave and New York City and how crazy these Democrats are, Zoram Hamdani has decided a good person to screen who can make it onto the New York City bench. The judges in New York would be Cynthia Nixon because Cynthia Nixon has a lot of experience as a lawyer. Oh wait, that was a character she played on tv. She's not a lawyer. She's never been a lawyer. She doesn't know jack about the law and yet she would be the appropriate screener for who can make it on the bench in New York City. Maybe she's gotten less crazy. Maybe she's just turned into a reasonable person whose opinion might. No, no, here she is with her make abortion great again. Hat remember when this came out, we thought it must be. AI did not believe this could possibly be real, but it is. She really wants abortion to be great. And here she is, thanks to President Trump and the penalties that he and RFKJ have threatened on these healthcare facilities when it comes to their Medicare payments and otherwise. And as a result, their reversals on performing these trans surgeries. So thanks to the Trump administration, God bless them, many of these hospitals have stopped doing it because they don't give a shit about these kids. They want to pretend that they care about trans youth. They want money. They want money. And once the cost became too great to perform these surgeries, like, they care about their Medicare payments a hell of a lot more than they care about their trans payments, even though the latter are lucrative, but not as much as Medicare, the services started drying up. They stopped offering them. And Cynthia Nixon, who prides herself on having, like, I don't know, three kids, all of whom are queer in some way, trans or gay or what have you. It's like it's a. You problem, madam, reacted when asked about the fact that nyu, a great university and great hospital where I have been many times, my children and their arrival into this world, that they've stopped performing these surgeries. Watch this. Slot 17. Most importantly, I am here today as the mother of a proud trans man. Let me speak. I am here today as the aunt of a proud trans man. My best friend's kid is trans. Everyone's trans friend is trans. My trans kid had his top surgery at NYU a number of years ago. Wow. His doctors were fantastic. His surgeon was the best we could have imagined. And the idea that this city is filled with young people who thought they had a place to go where they could receive the highest care, and that place has now been shut to them, sickens me. Sickens me to my core. So just imagine, if you would, for a minute, the kind of screening questions that Cynthia Nixon will be asking potential judicial nominees. And I realize it's not her fault Zoram Hamdani would be placing any radical in this position. She just happens to be the one he named. He's the radical. It's his election that we need to have the problem with. But, I mean, it's as bad as we thought. Between the homeless encampments, the objection to bodega owners being able to make a living, the just that, the nonstop problems across New York, the sex workers who are now all over the west side highway servicing homeless in their tents. Yes, that was Part of the report. Absolutely disgusting imagery. And now this nut case deciding who's going to be on the bench deciding cases. I mean, it's just. It's as bad as we thought it would be. Back to presidential politics. Want to check in on Joe Biden as we have been over the past few weeks, again, they wanted us to believe this man could be president right now. They wanted him. Him to have access to the nuclear football right now. A couple of weeks ago. Well, I guess a month or two ago now, at this point, Jill Biden launched her book that shot right up to the number one spot on the New York Times bestseller list, only to fall off into oblivion because it was bulk sales and she purchased her audience. No one has actual organic interest in Jill Biden, but she had an event at the 92nd Street Y in New York, and we showed you the tape in part. Well, now the full tape has come out of when Joe Biden stood up at the end of the event, which was moderated by Whoopi Goldberg and spoke to her like a toddler. And she spoke right back to him like a toddler. And it's even more disturbing than the short clip revealed. Now, I don't generally like to go over the same sound bites more than once because it's a waste of your time, but I actually do want to show this longer version of this clip because it's just. It's disturbing. That's what it is. Forget the lies we were told. It's just disturbing the exploitation of this man that his own family was doing and was perfectly happy to continue doing. And by the way, it's the same team, you know, some of them, at least, who are still at the top of the Democratic pyramid, who are still running messaging for the Dems. And I'm sure a lot of them will emerge as we get going again after these midterms and presidential politics. Maybe not on behalf of Kamala, because those two camps don't think much of each other, reportedly, but on behalf of somebody. But listen, watch this. Joe has a question like you couldn't ask it later. Who do you love most in the whole world? Thank you, Doctor. Who do you love most? And so I'm going to do the last no, I love you most, Joe. Was that it? Is that the answer he wanted? Yes. Overwhelming. Well, that's what keeps him on his toes. He's never 100% sure. I always keep him guessing. Is that not true? So the last thing I have to to say is, please remind people to pick up now. I know it says books, but look at. Oh, yeah, gooks. It looks like gooks. It looks like gooks. I'm thinking, what are gooks? But I'm going to remind them. But I'm to remind people to pick up books on your way out. The name of the book is the View from the East Wing. And that concludes. Concludes our conversation. Thank you so much. My book, sir. My book, which comes out in September. Do I have to remind them this is my event? The only thing Jill does better than right. She's a beautiful woman. I mean, it's so. It's so uncomfortable. He's a dirty old man, by the way. Like, if they had let that roll two minutes longer, we would have been getting that image of her in a bikini again that he keeps bringing up. I mean, I'm happy that they still have attraction for one another. Don't get me wrong. It's inappropriate for him to keep talking about her like that publicly, but the way she speaks to him is. I think. I think we're crossing over into, like, you know, kindergarten teacher who's pissed off at the disruptive toddler in front of her. Like, the tone, the words, the affect, all of it, to me, projects. She's annoyed. She's annoyed. She's speaking down to him quite clearly. And just at the end, like, do I have to remind him of whose event this is? She's genuinely annoyed. He did that. My book. And it was rude. It was rude. I mean, Doug would never do this to me. He's the author, not me. I've written one book. But Doug, my husband, is the author. He would. If I stood up at his event or if he. He would never talk down to me like that. He would be happy to see the spotlight and. But he would. This. We would never speak to each other this way. And if I were ever up there on stage, Doug would never be like, my book. I mean, would your spouse ever do this to you? So he's lost his marbles. She's annoyed by it. There's, like, a seething resentment underneath that tone affect and her willingness to treat him like a toddler publicly on that mic. I get that he's become one, but he's still your spouse and the former commander in chief. She can't. She doesn't respect him. I mean, neither do we. But, like, that's different. We're not married. And it's just incredible. The. The fraud that that family tried to pull on us. These Democrats should never be trusted again. The media that enabled them should never be trusted Again, they literally thought this guy could be in charge of the nuclear football right now. Right now. It makes me angry when I see him that way. Makes me angry of how he was taken advantage of by his family. And it makes me angry that they offered him up to the American people in a fraudulent manner. With an entire media complex working to cover up the truth. From us to gaslight us on the cheap fakes and all that bullshit, these same journalists are now asking you for their trust as we go into the next round of heavy politics. F them. All right, so that's Biden. Enter Don Lemon. Speaking of the gross Democrats and enabling media who lied to us, Don Lemon's got thoughts about the next presidential contest and how it might involve him. Watch political ambition. Is that true? No. But people keep asking me if I'm running for president, and I don't know. I might. I'm serious. I don't know. I might because people keep asking me to do it. I actually think I would be a really good president of the United States. Okay, like you're being serious. No, I'm being totally serious. For the people to want me. For the people to want me. Well, then we're safe. He. This is, like, crazy. If you are in media, if you are in political commentary, you're going to get a fair amount of people asking you that question. That is a reality of being at the pointy end of the spear. It doesn't mean you actually have any chance. Don, Pro tip. It does not mean you actually have any chance. A whole different host of considerations go in to who can actually win, never mind who should try. And you are not on the list either. List. Not. Not to say I wouldn't enjoy covering. So it's like a Kamala Harris situation. I don't want to discourage it. I don't want to completely, you know, pop the balloon for him. But this is the delusion. This is the narcissistic delusion that somebody like Don Lemon, who was on, you know, cable news for years in the prime time at cnn, operate under. As we listen to him, and we actually some treated him like an authority. Thank God those years are over. Here's more. This is that one, I think, was a week or two ago. Here's another one where he was on the Angry Ladies podcast. Right, Steve? Is that where this one comes from? 10. Oh, it's the same one. Okay. It's a. It's a podcast called can't be Censored. And he has some thoughts on maga, because I know you define Maga based on what Don Lemon thinks of it. Well, here's your answer. Saw 10. Maga is the closest thing to the modern version of the Nazi party. This is America's version. It's the closest thing without the Holocaust and all that stuff, that sort of mindset. That's what Maggie is. Because most intelligent people are logical people. When they get new information, and if that information is negative or not factual, then they change their minds. With me, oh, well, I wish I had known better. And now that I have this information, then I can readjust. No matter what you. No matter how many facts and how much information you give him, you give them about this presidency, about the policies, they don't change their minds because they're really not voting for the price of eggs. They're voting for white supremacy. Again. It's kind of like the Joe Biden situation. CNN put him in the prime time of its lineup as a straight, well, news anchor and wanted us to believe that this was an objective journalist for all those years. Not only does he, of course, not like the right, he hates. He hates the right. Hates it. He hates maga. He hates Trump voters. Hates them. They paraded him for years as an objective journalist over there. And by the way, he's no different than 99% of the on air talent over at CNN. No different. If you think, you know, I don't want to name names, but any of the talent over there right now has a warm spot in their hearts for any MAGA voters. Of course you don't think that, but if you were to think that, you would be sorely disappointed to hear them talk behind the scenes. It's just that Don Lemon has dropped the facade now. So let's see if that's a winning campaign message for him. That the Republican Party are a bunch of Nazis now. MAGA is a bunch of Nazis. It didn't seem to work out that well for Kamala Harris because it kind of was her campaign theme, and she was rejected, just like Don Lemon would be. Although, you go, girl. You go. You got this. Now, Michelle Obama has been everywhere, you know, trying to build her brand and try to build her very sad little podcast. And she showed up at the Essence Festival and wanted to talk about a number of things. How aggrieved she is. Yes, you know that. And also how amazing she is. So she's aggrieved and amazing. Those two things always go hand in hand. Like, she's incredible. People don't understand her. She's amazing. People are racist. She's spectacular. She's got an annoying family, pain in the ass daughters. She's a great wife, but she has an asshole husband. I mean, we could, we could be here all day. Here's the latest installment of America. You've disappointed me again. Saat11. I remember the first big speech I gave in Iowa. It was packed. I mean, I was pulling more crowds than most of Barack's opponents. But it was interesting. The more popular I became, the more of a threat I became. It was interesting that. And that's when the articles started coming out. I had been campaigning for more than a year, and then it was. This is when I understood, like, this is politics. Oh, they're coming after me because I'm useful and they're trying to beat my husband, so they're trying to slow me down. Right? And some of those first articles, they would always start, she was wearing a purple sheath and she had on this pair of, of shoes. It wouldn't matter what I said, Kiki. The article would start with what I had on. Wow. And I realized, oh, this is how they do women in politics. This is how we treat women in public life. We diminish them to just what they look like and not what I'm saving now. I'm giving impassioned speeches. I think people know now that I can give a speech that wasn't just. That didn't just start happening. You know, I was, I was always really good on the campaign trail. I was always a powerful orator. Oh, my God, she is dripping in narcissism. Dripping in it. Would you at least feign some humility? I'm embarrassed for you. You're actually not that great. You're fine, but you seem very scripted and artificial to me. If I'm honest. You don't speak from the heart. It didn't. You didn't move me at all at the Democratic National Convention. You felt a little recycled and tired, if I'm being honest. But just listen to her. Oh, I was powerful. And that didn't just start happening. I was powerful from the start. Let me tell you something, Michelle. The reason they wrote about your fashion is because, yes, you're a woman. It wasn't to diminish you. They do it to every female politician. And it's not to diminish them. It's because it's interesting. It's part of your look. It's part of your messaging. They would do it to men, too, if men dressed differently from one another. But they don't. They all look the same. They all have navy suits on. With red ties. It's not interesting or we would cover it. When your husband wore that tan suit, we wrote about it. Oh, that was our racism. I forgot. No. If a politician dresses in a different way, in a way that catches our attention, we as the media, we will write about it, we'll cover it. But they never do. They all look like carbon copies of one another when it comes to fashion. So it's boring. But the women do tend to take more risks. And then it gets more interesting. It's fun to talk about. It's yet another item about them that's expressive, that says something as we try to get to know them or. Or the spouse of a politician. So fudge off with this grievance nonsense. You're not aggrieved. It's not, it doesn't make anybody a misogynist. It's just something about you that caught the eye of people who are bored, need to fill magazines or newspaper copy, etc. Stop making everything an attack on you, you thin skinned person. It's just ridiculous. And by the way, if she's so upset about our focus on her fashion, why did she pose for Vogue four times on its cover? Why did she just do a whole book about fashion? Why didn't she release a book on my policy prescriptions for 2026America? Why? Where's that? She wants to be known for her fashion, but it has to be on her terms. You see, she wants us to rate it with a style goddess. She is for us to admire her bold colors in her, you know, fall palette. But God forbid we just do that because our eyes brought us there. We're racist or we're misogynist or we're trying to diminish her. She finds grievance in everything. This is what poor Barack has been dealing with for 20, 30 years now. I mean, no wonder the guy is so gray, so prematurely. No wonder the girls fled the coop. And you never see pictures really with the four of them. I'm sure they're so happy to be rid of this nonstop negativity. Negative Nelly all the time and you know, like the self aggrandizement with the, the aggrieved nature. And so, but not for nothing, we did go back just to see like what were they saying about her fashion at that time? Well, I was there. I was on the air. I remember she, she was beloved. Beloved by the press, maybe some mild criticism over on Fox, but even the folks over on Fox and I was there, they were afraid to criticize her. She was the Black woman. She's the spouse of this rising black star, Democrat of the, you know, of star of the Democrat party. And there was hesitance to go after her because, you know, people are afraid. So she did not get it hard. Are you kidding me? Like, she didn't get it anywhere near as hard as Sarah Palin got it. But here's what was written about her. All right, I'm going to. I looked up some headlines from 2007. Here's Vogue. Now, Vogue is a fashion magazine. They. You would expect them. This is August 2007, all right? It's a year before her husband will win the presidency. And you would think Vogue would be leading with whatever her fashion was since we were all so obsessed with it, according to her. Here's the lead line. Iowa in spring, a full nine months before the primaries. But Michelle Obama is already at work on her husband's behalf. The setting, the Chit and Chat coffee shop in Waukee. Population 9,213. Percentage of population that is white. Okay, Here we go. Vogue, 97.7%. The subject values hers and his. I married my husband, she tells the crowd, composed equally of reporters and supporters, quote, because we shared the same Midwestern values. Keep your word, work hard, treat others with respect. Absolutely nothing about clothes. That's Vogue. Nothing. They're talking about your values. An implication that the Midwest is too white and how hard you're working. It doesn't really feel like a racist, misogynistic piece to me. Glamour again. It's a women's magazine that's obsessed with fashion. By the way, the headline of that Vogue piece was Michelle Obama the natural. The headline of the Glamour piece, your next first lady. Question mark. Lead line. I have to admit, I was a little intimidated by Michelle Obama when I first saw her. She was standing on the far side of a hotel conference room and I got the impression of a regal woman who has a model's height. She's 511 and a classic understated chic. But then she came forward, extended an endless arm and broke out her fat, her famous million dollar smile. Million watt smile. She gave me a big hug as if we were old girlfriends, and I felt as though I'd known her forever. Okay, where's the in depth wardrobe commentary? I failed to meet to see it. Were you offended by the passing reference to chic, which could mean anything? Is that. Are you upset with glamour calling you chic as they said you had a million watt smile and you look like a model and how radiant you were. Is that Part of the glamours. Misogyny and or racism. Michelle. April 2000. Here's Stephen Colbert. Let's see what he had to say. Yeah, let's listen. Wants to know, they speculate on what kind of first lady a candidate's wife might be. And if you would forgive me in saying so, I think you'd be Jackie L. Okay, because, and I hope I, I, I hope I'm not out of place in saying this. You're, you're very good looking lady. Well, Okay, well, we found your misogynist. Who found him. Stephen Colbert said you were good looking and like Jackie. Oh, and by the way, you're there in a short skirt showing off your legs with Jackie O'. Hair. But that was because of our racism. She would later tell us we were too racist to have her wear her braids. That's why she had to look like Jackie O. So the only people we find making comments about your looks are Stephen Colbert, who is a leftist, a committed progressive, as we know. So maybe that's what's in your head, Michelle. Uh, then here's one more for you. Okay, before we move on, 2009, the Guardian. America's new vogue for black fashion is all due to Michelle Obama. So here we find one, a leftist publication that wants to talk about fashion. Her clothing choices fuel endless segments on cable news and countless column inches in print and online. An entire website, Mrs. O. Has been set up to catalog every fashion move that Michelle makes. When she chose a dress from Jason Wu to be her inaugural gown, it catapulted the designer to overnight success. Everyone is obsessed, quote, she's got an innate sense of how she wants to look. It goes beyond clothes. Jackie O. Had it, Princess Di had it. Michelle Obama has it, said Edward Enenful, a top stylist and fashion director who works closely with the magazine. It probably helps that Laura Bush, who had Michelle's job for the past eight years, definitely did not have it. Though Laura Bush remained popular even as her husband plumbed the depths of national disdain. She was never adopted by the fashion industry. She wore variations on the same homespun fashions for most of the decade. So who has the right to be aggrieved in response to articles like that? Michelle, is it you? Or might it be Laura Bush? Did you get the worst end of that? Or do you think it was the Republican first lady? You're, I'm sorry. This woman is a lying sack of. You know what? She's never seen a situation in which she's not the victim. Even though all the situations in she. In which she most feels victimized are in fact, complimentary of her. I just, she's, it's like a mental illness with this person. You know, it's, it's true. It's like a, like a, a vision disorder. Like somebody who's, you know, like if you're colorblind, you're looking at red, but it's actually green. And you would swear to the world that it's red, but everybody who's not colorblind can see that it's green, that there's something wrong with your vision. She's got this. She sees every compliment as an insult, every honor as an attack. Like there's something wrong with this woman and we need only open our ears and hear her speak in order to know it's so. All right, let's take a quick break and when we come back, we are going to get to Sunny Hostin and more. All right. Don't go away. Our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, says Washington politicians are always getting into your wallet and that now they're messing with your credit card. They say your credit card and the security it offers are under attack. And that Senators Dick Durbin and Roger Marshall want to change the nation's payment system to benefit corporate megastores like Walmart and Target at the expense of everyday Americans. Credit cards can keep your payments secure and provide rewards that families use to help make everyday purchases more affordable. The Electronic Payments Coalition says the Durbin Marshall mandates would let corporate megastores cut corners on credit card processing.

It's called the Megyn Kelly Channel and it is where you will hear the trail truth unfiltered with no agenda and no apologies. Along with the Megyn Kelly show, you're gonna hear from people like Mark Halperin, Link Lauren, Maureen Callahan, Emily jasinsky, Jesse Kelly, RealClear Politics, and many more. It's bold. No BS news only on the Megyn Kelly Channel, SiriusXM 111 and on the SiriusXM app. No one is above the law. It's a celebration of the law and how it applies to to all of us. No one is above the law. I do think that there is a thing called pretty privilege. There is a thing called white privilege. There is a thing called tall privilege and we have to acknowledge that supposed to be a nation of laws. Is there a thing called Harvard privilege and millionaire privilege? The view privilege because you seem to be dripping in it, madam. Honestly, when I first heard that Sunny Hostin showed up at the scene of her son in handcuffs to help him out, I thought what is the controversy? I would do this for my child too. She's behaving like a mama bear. And you're lying if you say you wouldn't show up there to help your child being handcuffed if they called you. Especially if you're a lawyer like she is. And I am, too. I don't. I do not begrudge her one second trying to help her son out in a tense and potentially scary moment. I do begrudge her her dripping sanctimony and hypocrisy. No one's above the law. And everyone other than Sunny Hostin is swimming in privilege that she's very pissed off about. She doesn't, she doesn't love our country. She feels threatened and unsafe when she sees a neighborhood full of American flags because the country's been just so devastating to her. We made her a multimillionaire. We funded her mansion in Westchester, which you could probably fit four of your homes in it. We'll show you the video yet again. So you know what we're talking about. Did your child go to Harvard? Most people's kids didn't go to Harvard. Do you think her child got into Harvard completely on merit, or do you think she might have played the Sunny Hostin View card to help him along? Not to mention the fact that her son being black is only a bonus to getting into an Ivy League university like that. Everybody knows that. So if there's any privilege, it's the one that she is immersed in day after day after day. But she won't acknowledge any of that. No, it's all about white privilege, which she talks about all the time on that show and how I guess Trump is evil and his voters are white supremacists. That's her main talking points from the View. Well, what happened is recently her son, who's a Harvard grad, she'd really want you to know, and 24 years old, he's not a 16 year old, was running and apparently he's an avid runner. She's made mention of this many times on the show and decided not to run like you or I would or anybody who's in training for a marathon or for a track team or what have you on the road, on a track, on a path in the woods, wherever I've lived in Westchester there. Tons of beautiful neighborhoods and lovely suburban roads where you could run easily and tons of high schools with unused tracks where you could potentially run in the off hours and tons of wise, you know, YWMCA or YMCA where you could go like there's tons of facilities in Westchester. It's not like Manhattan where there's like Chelsea Pierce and that's all you have. He decided to run on railroad tracks. And I'm sorry to break it to you, Sonny and Gabriel, that's the son that's dangerous not just for you, but for riders of the trains. That's why it's criminal. That's why they've criminalized it. You're not allowed to do it. I. Newsflash. As a white woman, I'm not allowed to do it either. Okay. It doesn't matter if you went to Harvard or if you didn't go to college at all. Law applies the same. You know why, Sonny? Because no one is above the law. A concept with which you claimed to be familiar when we were talking about Donald Trump. What happened with that? I don't think there's a get out of jail free card if you went to Harvard. I don't think so. Pretty sure all. All my years practicing law, I never saw that one you don't have. The law doesn't apply to you if you went to Harvard. Geez, the applications would be even more great in number than they are right now if that were the case. No. Working class, elite class, Harvard class. You're not allowed to trespass on the railroad tracks because it's dangerous. Not just for you, but for the people riding the trains and the people waiting for the trains and the people who live in the areas. If you don't believe me, here, take a listen to the U.S. department of Transportation on how long it takes trains to stop. Because while you might think they can stop on a dime, if they happen to see somebody running down the track, you're wrong. Watch. An Automobile traveling at 55 mph can stop in about 200ft. A tractor trailer rig at the same speed will take about 300ft, the length of a football field. The average freight train at 55 miles per hour, on the other hand, will need a mile or more to stop. That's 18 football fields. You should know that an oncoming train may be closer and moving faster than it appears. It is easy to misjudge a train speed and distance from the crossing. Because of the train size and your perspective as it comes toward you, it appears to be moving much more slowly than it actually is. Railroad tracks, trestles, yards and equipment are private property. Walking or playing on them is illegal. Trespassers are subject to arrest and fines even if they went to Harvard. Here's what happened. He got stopped, he got cuffed, he called his mom. And it all played out on body cam footage. Here's her son explaining that his mother is a lawyer. And then you hear Sunny Hostin on the phone with him and listen to the instruction. This is from police body cam footage from 6-16-21. My mom's a lawyer, by the way. That's okay. What's your name? What's your name, sir? I'm Brian. Brian. Is that Your badge number? 2814? Yes. Yes. So the reason we're stopping you. This is trespassing right here. Oh, I'm sorry. The. It was open over there. I was just walking on a run here. I saw. I just looked open for me, so I just walked in. So this is considered trespassing. It's criminal trespass. Reason why it's such big a big deal. People get hit by a train all the time. We want to prevent it, obviously. Do you have any ID on you? Yes. Okay. Do you. Where is it? It's. It's in my phone. If you take off the case, tell them your mother is a federal prosecutor. Yes. Hey, Mom. How are you? This is Officer Gomez, your son's final. How are you? This is. This. This is federal prosecutor. Okay? My son, he's a Harvard graduate. Okay? So before she knows that the police officer is there and hearing everything and holding the phone, she tells him to lie. Tell them your mother's a federal prosecutor. No, you're not. You were once, but you're not. That was a long time ago, Sonny. And you shouldn't be advising your child to lie to the police. Then once the officer identifies himself and she knows he can hear her and he's got the phone and she says, former. Former, Right. Correct. Madam, you're already off on the wrong foot. Don't lie to police to get your son out of a jam. It's the wrong decision. The son says, I didn't know. You know, he didn't see the sign. Okay. That. That could be true. I think most of us know you're not allowed to run in a. On the railroad tracks or next to the trains. I. I think most of us know that's. We don't own that property, and it's a dangerous thing to do. But whatever. My beef in this whole video is not with the son. It's with the mother. She shows up to the scene as well. She's in person. And I believe this next sound bite shows that some of the exchanges on the phone and some of it is in person. Let's watch Sat 22. Let's get my mom on the phone. Of course. Yeah. Ms. Austin, it's Officer Gomez. Hi, Officer Gomez. I'm about four minutes away. Okay, that's fine. So I just wanted to give you the heads up. So I am going to be writing your son what's called an Appearance tick. I'm sure you know what that is, because it is criminal trespass where he was. Officer, is that really necessary? This is a kid that doesn't do anything. He's a Harvard graduate and a Yale researcher. He teaches geometry. I. I understand that. Why would you put something on his record like this? No, no, it's. It's not. It's not even. It's not anything criminal. He's just has to appear. I'm dumbing it down to a violation. That's all it is. With all due respect, ma', am, I still have a job to do. And we have to deter people from being on the tracks. Indeed you do, because trespassing is the leading cause of rail related deaths in the United States. Nationally, more than 500 trespass fatalities occur each year per the U.S. department of Transportation. More than 500 deaths occur as a result of trespass in and around the railroads and the tracks every year. So they do have a job to do, and it's part of keeping the community safe. Here is the son, Gabriel, asking if the cops can look the other way in Sat 23. What happens if you didn't do it? What do you mean? What happens if you're like, oh, we need to write this. Well, you know, we have cameras everywhere. If we didn't see you, somebody would have called it over. Correct. You know, and there was too many trains coming in and out of there to not. I hate to say it's like my partner said, our hands are tied. It is what it is. Again, I don't. I don't care. That's. That doesn't bother me. Have you ever been pulled over while driving your car? I mean, I don't think it's beyond the pale to say, what if. What happens if you don't write me a ticket? Please don't write me a ticket. I was going fast because of X. I mean, everyone's done that. There's nothing wrong with that. It's the privilege card that people are revolting against. Here she is now on scene in Sat 24. What's going on? He was walking along the tracks. Okay. On a run. On a walk. And gate was open. I was like, oh, I see. Yeah, it's on the phone with me. Action. Okay. I'm a former federal prosecutor. He knows. He's a Harvard grad who teaches fourth grade geometry to South Bronx kids. This is not a kid who's. We're in trouble. It's an innocent mistake. I understand you have to violation, but it's something I Think I was walking over there and there's some. I was about to show a big interview today and we're talking about it. Okay, There it is. Why'd you mention your big interview today? We all know why. I'm a big star. I'm a former federal prosecutor. My boy went to Harvard. I'm on TV and I had a big interview today. Th. This is disgusting. This is not normal. This is not something most of us would do. Trust me, I've been pulled over by the cops. I can speed here or there just like anybody, though I don't make a habit out of it. And the thought runs through your head, Do I mention? I mean, in my case, unlike hers, I actually have cops backs on this show. And the thought runs through your head. Do I tell them that? Hell no. I would just never play that card. I would never play that card. Never. And this is what she does. I'm a former federal prosecutor. I'm one of you. And on top of that, I had a big interview today. We're all talking about it. I'm a star. You know me, I'm a star. And my son went to Harvard and now is researching at Yale. We're not the kind of people who commit crimes. That's what she's saying. We're not like those dirty dirt under the nails, filthy working class losers who commit crime. We're from damn Harvard. Show some respect. It's disgusting. I'm on tv. I don't commit crime. I don't raise a son who would commit crime. We go to Harvard, okay? Stupid dumbass cop who's inconvenienced me and my son, we could buy and sell your whole family, sir. That's what's happening there. It's disgusting. It is disgusting. I would had no problem. She had shown up there and said, guys, he's never been in trouble. He's a good kid. Check his record. He didn't understand that this was private property. Because the sign is not clear. I would be defending her. I would be. I would do the same for my child. I'm sure you would for yours as well. But the Harvard, Harvard, Harvard. She mentions it at least three times. We didn't show them all. And Yale and her big interview and former federal prosecutor and all to what? To avoid a citation? He's not getting charged with a misdemeanor. Like the stakes are very low. We looked it up. He's facing a possible 500 fine. Did you see the house? Do I need to show you the video again? She can afford It. I'm sure he can afford it to. This is ridiculous. Like, I'm sorry, but I don't want to hear her protestations about no one's above the law anymore as she plays every card she can possibly get her hands on. Former federal prosecutor. I'm on TV with a big interview. Harvard. Harvard. Harvard. Yale, Yale. Yale. No one is above the law. Oh, is that true or isn't it? Madam, I'm. It's disgusting. It's. That's the reason people are recoiling in response to this. It's not because no one could make the wrong decision about a railroad or railways, etc. It's. And it's not because of the sun either. It's because of her and her messaging on the air and the nerve to after non stop white privilege. No one's above the law to show up to a scene and pull that. Shame on you. Okay, before we go, a word on the World Cup. Congratulations to Spain and its fans. Personally, I was rooting for Argentina as we have beautiful friends from Argentina and they were so sad. So sad. So I know how important soccer is football to basically everybody outside the United States and several million inside the US as well. Though I don't think we compare to the enthusiasm in Europe and South America and beyond. So. In any event, I did watch large portions of the finals and large portions of the World cup, and I have to say I agree with the critics of the halftime show. It was terrible. First they opened up with Madonna, who. I don't know what she's doing, people. And I don't even know if she can still sing because she only ever uses the track and does the lip syncing. I have yet to hear the actual Madonna's voice in the past decade or so, but here's what she looked like. Okay? I. I liked that song. I remember it when I was married to my first husband literally 26 years ago. It's. It's fine. But I. I feel like the. The World cup could have gotten more relevant talent. Yeah, right. Lip syncing, of course. Because again, we have no idea whether she can still sing. And the dancing was lame too. I'm not gonna lie. That's the one thing Madonna really kind of could do all along. Not there. I don't know what she's doing. She's just squatting and of course riving, because that's her thing these days. Then after Madonna, we saw bts, one of the biggest bands in the world. And I'm not going to lie, no offense, Bonnie, my friend Bonnie loves them. And I get it. She. They are very talented. Normally, I don't know if they were phoning it in, but both the lip syncing and the dancing look like a college band boy band imitating BTS to me. Look at this. Hey. Shining through the city with the little broken star light in the lip syncing. So the acrobats around them are doing a good job. The actual band, look how they're phoning in even the motions. This is no Michael Jackson at the Super Bowl. People look at them, they look tired. It's like they had jet lag or something. Not impressed. Again, if I want to hear a lip sync track, I'll just play press play on Spotify or Sirius. Why do I have to tune into that? Then came Justin Bieber, and it was a beautiful song for Christians, but I'm just gonna tell you it wasn't the right song for the World Cup. It slowed everything down. It was a ballad. It was a ballad that. It has sort of a sad, I holy holistic feel to it. And in the right mood, it'd be the perfect song. But at the World cup halftime show, here's a little of that. Okay, you get that. You get the gist. Just. It was too much. It was too sad, too slow, too somber. It brought the room down. And then thank God for Shakira, who, I must say, saved the day. Look, In this place you belong. As you watch this, she's 49. E got. Let's go. Stay with me. She was great. Great. The right vibe, a great song. She looked amazing. I cannot believe she's 49 years old. She's moving around like she's 29 years old. Congrats to her on not showing us her vag this time like she did at the super bowl with JLO a couple of years ago. It was classy. She had on sort of a hula outfit, which was totally fine. Kind of saucy, but not too much for her age or for the setting. And she sang a great song. Again, I think that was also a track, but I forgave it because the dancing was good and she sold it. I'm sad that the World cup is over. I loved having the fans from all these countries come over here and discover America for the first time and to help a lot of us see our own country anew through their enthusiasm. And I love all the stars who emerged. I love getting to know more about Messi and the guy from Norway and the rowing Mbabe. Is that how you say it? Anyway, we'll miss them and we look forward to the next one tomorrow. Ruthless. See you then. Thanks for listening to the Megyn Kelly Show. No bs, no agenda, and no fear.
