Let's welcome tonight's guests. He hides his money in his socks and fastens them with locks. Host of Cudlow on Fox Business, Larry Cudlow. His act is a laugh a minute, which actually isn't a lie. Actor, comedian and writer Jamie Lissau. She needs a running start to use a stapler. Fox News contributor, Cat, too. And finally, the Grand Canyon is his cereal bowl.

My massive psychic in the NWA will never be a smaller. Tyrus. There you go. So, Jamie, I was just thinking, you know, it's always a pleasure to see you here. If you were a trans athlete, do you think it would have prevented your divorce? Oh, man. That is the meanest, worst question.

I'm trying to break the ice. I'm trying to break the ice. Break the ice, you shattered the ceiling. I don't think anything would have prevented it. Sorry to get rid of the following questions you have for the next 10 episodes. That really may. This story, by the way. Yes.

By the way, that was really cool. I didn't even have to respond. Tires had my back. It felt good. Yeah, yeah. I felt safe. I could be nice. This story, like, you know me.

Like, I can be liberal sometimes when I'm pouring drinks or describing my penis over the phone. Whoa. And these guys, these guys. Don't call them after eight. Part of this was they didn't even. I'm so glad to be here. I should have. warmed up into that one.

But it's upsetting to watch for me. I feel bad for the kids. The worst thing I've ever seen is when this happens in MMA, there's nothing worse. Yeah. I watched a man, like a, it looked like a big actual man, and it looked like he was fighting like a, like a, it looked

like abuse. Right. Honestly. Like, I was disgusted. Like, I pulled my pants up. I turned it off. And and, um, one more. I can't even finish. I don't know, just, no. No.

I was thinking about it, and then I was like, that one felt pretty good. No, I just think calling her a bigot is, at first I was like, I think they misspelled the biologist. That's good. That was a good, clean joke. Thank you. People are going to write it and say, why doesn't Jamie do more jokes like that instead of talking about his genitalia?

Larry Cudlow. What does it say about USA Today? USA Today is like a kind of a husk of a paper. and they need hot takes for clickbait. Is that kind of the business model here? Because you are the businessman. I'm really glad to be here tonight. I want to thank you for inviting me, particularly with this topic.

Yes. I don't have much to say in defense of USA today. I do think, however, biological males should not play in female sports. I think that's the two point. And I thought long and hard about this. And so beyond that early point that I just made, I just wanted to know if you realized that the Kevin McCarthy deal on the debt ceiling is really terrific. He completely spun Biden around, cutting $2 trillion, it's a record amount, no tax increases, caps on future spending.

And it's really going to help economic growth and reduce inflation. I know that was implied in your question, so I just thought I'd fill it in. Don't you hate the farce of the debt ceiling where everybody in cable TV pretends it's the end of the world? You could just turn it off and turn it on in a week and everything's the same. I swore on the five, we would never do the debt ceiling thing because it's so fake. And also, what the hell is a debt ceiling? shouldn't it be the debt floor? Like what

is the, it is such a farce. We're over that, Larry. Take your debt ceiling crap. Get it out of here. It's sort of transgenderism of economics. It really is. Well, there we go. There we go. You brought it together.

You brought it all together. Yes, so far. Larry Cudlow. I just want to be part of the spirit of the show. Kat, what do you make of this, you know, you're a writer. She often takes political angles, but I just feel that what does she know about sports, really?

Yeah, she probably didn't want to spend that much time on it. I mean, it was a holiday weekend. Yeah, that's right. This came out on Memorial Day. Exactly, which is how you get crap like this. Yes. Because she doesn't want to work that hard and neither do the editors. Yeah. Because everybody wants the time off. Everybody's off. And I think that's how you get an article that is just lacking any sort of attempt at evidence to make the points because nowhere in the article did she claim there's no evidence that somebody goes through you know male puberty would have advantages over a woman in sports because there is evidence that

suggests that and when you say just throw the word bigotry at anybody who thinks that that's a possibility then you're completely diluting the whole entire thing but again it's probably hard to find people to write over the holiday weekends yes that's a good point last word to you tyrus It's such a, we're talking about her, so mission accomplished. And what we're seeing now today is you don't need to have an argument because you really shouldn't be debating these individuals because it's not an exchange of ideas. The only person who has an idea is the one who came in,

the normal person who's trying to understand and their idea changes to, why did I just waste my time? She wrote that article and now she's become a champion for them. So chances are she's going to get more opportunities. Because that makes no sense. that used to be, we used to make fun of, like, brothers who would have excuses for failing, it was always the teacher's racist. My girlfriend dumped me because she's racist.

Yeah. You know, that's right. It took a while. And then she put a, attached all the dots and realized he was black and left me in the second. Like, really? Or it wasn't because you're a jerk who was cheating. It was because your girlfriend was slow racist. So what we're seeing is that it's a thing.

Slow racism. It's like slow, slow, it takes you a long time to realize that, There's no definition of a woman. I'm still stuck with the actual definition of what a woman is. But isn't it the most toxic, masculine male thing to do to hop out of a division you can't compete in and show up and compete against somebody smaller than you? Isn't that like the worst guy?

We've seen them all in the playground and stuff, like the 13-year-old kid who jumps in with the seven-year-olds to play soccer. No one's cheering for him. Oh, they can cheer for me once. Oh, good job. They're like, wow, look at this guy. What does he play with someone his own size or his own age? Well, same question to the transgender dudes who are attacking women, and the MMA thing was awful.

Yeah, Fallon Fox. It was absolutely awful. And we need to be able to say no. It's become a new thing like, you're going to get asked two questions when you run for office now, or you apply for a job. Do you know what a woman is, and should men be able to be women in women's sports? Yeah. And if you say no and no, then you can only work here. Yeah.

You can answer that in one question and answer you and go, I know what a woman. woman is, that's not a woman. Yeah. And thank you for your time. Thank you for your time. With running leg, you don't want to reach back in the batons attached. And I think we'll... Larry, how's that dead ceiling looking pretty good?

I tried. You did. I really tried. Jamie's not a big fan of ceilings. All right, don't go anywhere. We'll be right back. This episode is brought to you by Progressive Insurance. Do you ever find yourself playing the budgeting game?

And for stopping thieves from stealing their loot, the store gives two employees the boot. Two ladies say Lulu Lemon fired them for calling the cops on shoplifting suspects, whom they filmed robbing their Metro Atlanta store. But Lulu Lemon denied saying that, saying they violated their zero tolerance policy on physically engaging or chasing suspects. It's kind of ironic a fitness brand telling you to just stay on the couch and do nothing. The whole thing went down earlier this month. Watch. No, no. Seriously. Get out.

Get out. Get out. Wow, that's rude customer service if those thieves ever decide to pay for stuff. So they got out with the stolen Lulu Lemons hopped in a getaway car and bolted. The suspects were eventually arrested in charge with robbery, which means they were probably back at Lulu Lemon for seconds before you could say no cash bail. Meanwhile, the two brave women are still without a job proving Lulu Lemon. has a zero-tolerance policy for keeping a business open. But I guess the cops have other real crimes to investigate,

like charging $150 for a pair of see-through tights. I don't know why I was drunk when I ordered them. Larry? No, you weren't. I wasn't. No, thank you. This is not a victimless crime, right? I mean, law-abiding citizens pay for everything that is stolen,

whether it's through insurance or not. Is this going to just kill retail stores? Yes. Yeah. I mean, this is just the worst story. I mean, they have zero tolerance policy for employees who try to protect their merchandise and keep some law and order. And meanwhile, they're not worried about these criminals coming in. Not only they stealing stuff, but they pose a risk to other customers as well as the employees. And what's happened in places like San Francisco and L.A. and New York and elsewhere, maybe Atlanta, too. The store's close. So the risk here is you'll have cities without stores. I mean, these crazy blue lawless cities with lawless prosecutors just letting this stuff happen is it's a terrible thing i mean one of these days honestly an employee because if he or she is threatened by these i mean they come in with calculators yeah so when they get to 999 they go out then they come back again try to steal it again somebody's going to pull a gun on these guys you wait and see maybe at least a water gun do you uh do you wear any lulu lemon

Larry? Not yet. My stuff is all bespoke. He exercises in bespoke. I expect no less. Yes. I mean, that's what the Gilded Age wealthy did. Yes.

You know my story. It's like doing curls in a bow tie to get through the day. Trying to get there. It is pretty amazing, though. What, I mean, that, like, if you let, like, if you're doing your job, Tyrus, and people are violating it in front of you, and you just sit and take it, you should be able to sue the company because it violates your own mental health.

Two things that are really frustrating. It attacks a whole mindset. It's not just someone's running your store, but you take the time, you put effort into your job, your work, your career, you build those tables, you put those clothes out,

you organize everything, you have the store looking for your customers, and they come in and it's other women coming in. Young man comes in like that, starts stealing everything. If the women don't do anything, they're saying come back soon. Right.

Now, when they are doing something and they get in trouble and they come back soon, this time they won't just take the clothes, but up, beat up the one with the phone and beat up the one trying to stop me. It's a natural, good people, the natural feeling when someone's doing something wrong

is like, hey, don't do that. Please stop doing that. They're now taking that away. So that guy, when he comes back, he's going to know the mistake he made last time was he's got to take the phone away from the one first. That way he won't have the inconvenience of being locked up for a couple hours and having to take some photos

and stuff before he gets out or calls his friends on Facebook to come back and get retribution. So yeah, they have zero tolerance, but I wonder when they're going to have tolerance from one of their workers is killed, beaten up, raped, or worse? Because all you're doing is you're emboldening the worst part of our society.

You know, Kat, you know what I'm going to ask. Oh, thank you. They're applauding my next question. Why don't we shoplift? Why don't we? We should have a shoplifting day. If everybody's doing it, why can't we shoplift? Uh, because we're on cable news. I think that's probably the only reason. If I wasn't on cable news, I'd be stealing. Yeah. Why not? Can't be it and join him. I actually wouldn't. I don't have the, I, I'm too anxious. But yeah, I don't know why you wouldn't at this point if you're just a regular person, although the people who, I wouldn't have

done what these people did, going after these people and chasing them and stuff like that. I'm not getting, you know, risking my life over someone trying to steal a pair of stretchy pants over an employer that doesn't care about you. And clearly they don't. I'm just surprised they don't have a job yet. If there's some sort of conservative act of wear brand down there, they should be calling them, but I guess I don't know that there is. There might be.

But it is, I think that if they actually were doing their jobs and they were injured, then they would sue Lulu Levin. The my pillow guy is going to come out with leggings. Yes. my leggings my leggings were made from this part of each he better transition if he shows up

in your mirror in the morning asking about how your leggings fit better transition if he's in your bath my leggings uh Jamie uh how are you do you own yoga pants I you know it's weird

what own yoga pants don't do yoga oh interesting you know I mean I need some that are like chocolate wicking um instead of sweat wicking They're just so damn comfortable. You know what's weird? I believe I, like many Americans, stole my entire outfit from Lulu Lemon today.

Like, how does that not make you want to steal? So I bought this shirt from Lulu Lemon today. It was like $60. And part of me was like, why should I, why should I pay for this if they're just letting people? It's a weird thing to steal. I get that it's like expensive stuff, but Lulu Lemon stuff, it is like very thin. There were many, many years where I thought the logo was a vagina. something wrong on my drink I'm hallucinating

did I hear that I didn't really say that by mistake all the dirty jokes are right in a row what's the next one but how crazy though like the they said the company you know the company handbook says you're not you know which I you know who wrote it the thieves He just wrote it. Yes.

Yeah. I actually love Lulu Lemon. Why? This was sad for me. I just go there all the time. Why? It's, yeah, but Tyrus is right. Legitimately, for something to change,

someone's going to get hurt or killed. Lulu Lemon is a stupid left-wing managed store. Okay? That's their damn problem. And he is exact, Tyrus is exactly right. The incentives are completely wrong. and you're encouraging crime and you're discouraging law and order

and you're discouraging safety and you're discouraging the employees who are put their lives on the line to work in the damn store. I mean, it's just the stupidest-ass story I've ever heard. Well, there you are. Wow.

And I'm never sure if Jamie was making a serious point or was halfway through the start of a setup for another joke. No, I was just making a serious point. I don't know. Sometimes I don't know. I feel like it's not even a joke. I just felt like it was two girls trying to do the right thing that got punished. There you go.

That's a video I watched. Two girls tried to see. What's sad is the crowd pre-laught? They pre-laught with a hit. They knew it was coming. They were like, oh, poor sweet, Jamie. You didn't know. Girls tried to do the right thing.

Being and get punished. That's the description of every video on Pornhub. We're out of time. Thanks to Larry Cutlow. Jamie Liss out, Katzap, Tarvers, our studio, and it's Foxx.
