Three, the top teams in college football, including the Texas Longhorn, are no blaineau. It is Will Kane Country on this Monday. Welcome to a new week. Welcome to this Monday. Welcome to Will Kane Country. Peter Navarro joins us shortly to talk about his new memoir. I went to jail so you don't have to.

But over the weekend, a lot of news, starting on Friday, that made my blood boil, made me bookmark on X and made me want to jump back in here with you today to say we got to do something about the justice system and we got to do something about judges in America. Let's get into it with story number one. Quick takes some of the top stories off of the weekend and kicking off our week on this Monday. There's no better way to get your week started than to just plug right into the socket with the most electric man in broadcasting.

Fire it up, hit the voltage. Let's bring in tinfoil pat. Four quick takes. What's up, tinfoil? It's been a heck of a weekend, Will. Portland, Oregon, a beautiful city. It's been overrun by Antifa. And they've been having their little battles with ice right now.

And here are some videos showing those moments. Tactical insoles! Tactal itself! Get your fucking camera out of my... Don't touch her. I don't care. Don't touch her. Black-clad, helmets, quasi-military,

Antifa on the streets of Portland. California Governor Gavin Newsom has fought a lawsuit to ensure that the California National Guard will not appear in Oregon. and the Oregon governor has sued and won a temporary injunction against the Trump administration trying to send Texas National Guard troops to the streets of Portland. It wasn't all quasi-military. It wasn't all gear bought off of jackcar.com pretending like you are in the terminal list. There were also others, two a days. We had some people who refused to use their legs, right?

and who were toaded away in a cart. Watch. According to Fox News is Bill Malusian. Over in Chicago, where the National Guard is also looked to be. deployed. Apparently, when there are attacks on ice facilities, the Chicago Police Department has been told to stand down, not help out ice. Bill Malusian has documentation and interviews with Chicago police, wherein he says multiple law enforcement sources confirm to Fox News that Chicago police officers were instructed by their chief of patrol to not respond

to Border Patrol agents call for help yesterday after they were reportedly surrounded by a large crowd of protesters following a ramming incident and shooting of an armed woman. Chicago PD CAD screenshot below. Chicago PD is denying that they're not coming to the aid and render of help to border patrol and to ICE. You might need that. You might assume that is a job for the police. And you might need that because things are going down.

Things are going down in Chicago. Things are going down in Dallas. Things are going down in Portland. And there are protesters. For example, berating, attacking, gathering, terrorizing the streets of Portland. And by the way, yelling at people about Charlie Kirk and Turning Point. Watch. Turning Point, Turning Point, USA.

This is what we have to say to you. You think Charlie Kirk deserves it I? I think Charlie Kirk's a piece of shit. You know. Yes or not? Honestly, he's kind of a fascist, so I would say yes. What's your message to the right wing? F*** him.

Protesters lighting a maga hat on fire talking about Turning Point and Charlie Kirk. To Savannah Hernandez of Turning Point. We'll try to have Savannah Hernandez, by the way, join us along with Fox News. columnist David Marcus to tell us exactly what's going down on the streets of Portland. But what's going down is something that should be coming from Texas, California, from Washington, D.C. orders from the President of the United States to get this under control. It's going to need it to be under control from the top of authority because it's not going to be handled at the local level, not when you have people in charge, like Governor J.B. Pritzker,

of Illinois. Or the mayor of Seattle, who said this was his approach to protecting his citizens in fighting crime. The criminal system has had a disparate impact on black and brown communities. Let me lead with that. So when this person is committing six or seven crimes, I don't know his or her story. Maybe they were abused as a child. Maybe they're hungry. So my, my remedy is to find their life story to see how we could help first. I have no desire. to put them in jail. But I need to protect you, and that's the calibration that we have. I have no desire to place someone in jail who's committed six or seven crimes.

Instead, I want to hear their life story. How charming, how uplifting, that the way we might be able to fight crime is to actually have a conversation with the criminal. Well, what made you commit your fourth crime? Is that different than the motivations and the life story that led you to your seventh crime? At some point, your focus must turn to the innocent civilians and the innocent citizens who you are elected to protect. And never forget that. They are elected with a job by you. You are their boss and you pay their salary.

And that is their response to their boss. If you walked into your place of employment and said, my job is not to answer to you and my job is not to help you, My job is to actually focus on and hear the life story of those who want to burn down this business. You would be fired tomorrow. You would not have a place to show up for work tomorrow. But we keep re-electing these people in Washington, D.C., Chicago, Seattle, Portland, across America. Let's head back over to QuickTakes. Let's head back over to Tinfoil Path.

You know, that's not the worst of it will. Over the week, over last week, the attempted assassin of Brett Kavanaugh, Supreme Court Justice was found, was sentenced to a very, very lenient sentence of only eight years out of the 30 that was being requested. And that the reason was due to his transitioning into a woman. So what do you say about that? I say this is the thing that fired me up the most on Friday. I went into my weekend ready for a nice, relaxing, unplugged weekend of high school and college football. And I came back on Friday night, right after our show, bookmarking story after story on this insanity of Nicholas Roski, who's transitioning into Sophie, while he is imprisoned in a way.

waiting trial for the attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. And for this, he got, he got less than the man who attacked Paul Pelosi. He got less than those who were rioting on January 6th. He got less than someone who was convicted in Judge Deborah Bordman's courtroom about a month ago for wire fraud. This judge, Judge Deborah Borman, appointed by Joe Biden, saw a series of facts wherein she laid out, oh, well, he never pulled out the weapon. Oh, well, he called 911 on himself and saw that somehow that mitigated his circumstances on an attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh in an environment in the country where we know we are dealing with political violence and the reality of assassination and said eight years. Reopened the Sizzlers said on X, the man who attacked Paul Pelosi was sentenced to life in prison. It's just not very hard to find comps.

It's just not very hard to find other cases. It's not even hard in staying in the same exact courtroom to find sentencing that matches the punishment. And in this case, why? Why eight years for an attempted assassination? Because he's transitioning into a female? because he didn't actually successfully follow through with the assassination, because he called off his own assassination at some point before he reached the front door of Brett Kavanaugh, because it's Brett Kavanaugh.

This is absolutely horrific, and I just saw Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas say it's time to look at the impeachment of judges. We have a problem with judges in this country. We have a real problem with judges in America. We're going to be focusing on that this week on Wilcane Country and the Will Cain Show. What these judges are doing and what quality do you want from a judge but wisdom is far from wise. It's the opposite of wisdom. This is harm to our society. We keep putting focus on the idea that the victim in these cases is actually the perpetrator.

The perpetrator is the offender and there are real victims, some of whom I think are going to be highlighted. Now by tinfoil, Pat, take it away. Back to Quick takes. That's right, Will. This one is the most egregious to me, even more egregious than the last one. It had my blood boiling. A 10 years ago, a 6-year-old boy was brutally murdered, stabbed by a man who was just released from prison. After a short, he had a 20-year sentence, cut in half for good behavior from the parole board.

So he's out on the street. and people are not happy about this one. And this is an absolutely horrific story. Yes. This is an absolutely horrific story out of Kentucky. A man from Indianapolis, Indiana drove to Versailles, Kentucky, broke into a home and attacked a family. He found a kitchen knife inside the home and attacked. Attacked a daughter.

Attacked the father. The father got the knife in the back. And while he was attempting to ward off this intruder, the intruder took. the knife and repeatedly stabbed and killed his six-year-old son, Logan. This man served approximately half of his sentence in jail for what, seven, eight years now back on the streets. Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire said, this demon broke into a house and stabbed a child to death 10 years ago, and as of today, he is walking free. This cannot be allowed to continue. Arrest the judge who let him free. Arrest the judge who allowed him to be found not guilty of murder by reason

insanity. People will say that Trump doesn't have authority. It doesn't matter. Do it anyway. It's worth having a constitutional crisis over this. We simply cannot have these judges releasing murderous animals onto the public. People are dying. It has to stop. Do what needs to be done to stop it. Well, I'll tell you what needs to be done to stop it. And this father, in this case, said it. He was honest with the courtroom and he was honest during the parole and the sentencing. He said, if I run into this man on the streets, I will kill him. And I would do the same. You stab my son to death. God help you if you ever run into me in this life. God can be in charge of forgiveness, but I will not forget. This man doesn't belong among a civilized

people. He does not belong on the streets. And I don't know the measures that need to be taken, but this is beyond the pale. And just another example of what I'm talking about, what you're talking about, in a climate where we're dealing not only with assassination culture but with crime. We wake up today, by the way, and there is a story outside of the Supreme Court of a man who has been arrested with Molotov cocktails. As the Supreme Court returns today in session, he was arrested looking to, apparently, firebomb, a cathedral of St. Matthews, the Apostle, Sunday morning before Red Mass started, a mass that is attended by the Supreme Court justices of the United States.

Ben Braddock on X said, according to NBC's reporting, they said a man who had vials of liquid and possible fireworks. A hell of a way to describe a Molotov cocktail, says Dr. Ben Braddock. Viles of liquid is an interesting way to describe a Molotov cocktail. In this environment of assassination culture and crime, I return to this problem that's going to be addressed. We are going to address it this week, the problem with judges in America. Back to you.

Tinfoil Pat. well um i thought that was all we had but i do have a little surprise for you here is a clip of new york attorney general letitia james talking about our beloved president you sure you sure we have that uh yes yes we do stand up to an in administration which is two male two pale and too stale. Two male, too pale, and too stale. Two male, too pale, and too stale. To mail, to mail, to stale.

I don't know, Will. Sounds a little racist to me. What do you think? I think she was describing you in your broadcast presentation, which was a step up from last, here on quick takes complete with the voice clearing start at the right out of the gates it's a good way to start i've been ill but i will say um i will say the roller coaster had a few fewer bumps and dipsy-dos throughout this ride of quick takes um i thought about it on that last

one do i turn it back over to him one more time let's see what he does i know that there's more to quick takes. I do know, but he apparently didn't have it written down that he would go to a four-story. Watch this. First of all, two pale, two male, and two stales. She really liked that line. It was really cute. She wanted to repeat it several times. She actually got a chant going. And I want you to pull that, Dan, because that's going to be our new introductions to quick takes. Okay. Quick takes with tinfoil pat. Two male, two pale and too stale. Nailed it. All right. Before we get out of here, one more turn around the wheel. Let's go back to in full, Pat, for quick takes.

I literally have no idea what we... He set you up there, Pat. I don't know. We have... Mr. Peter Navarro on deck here. That's what we have. That's true.

The great Peter Navarro. You can pick any number of stories. I don't understand how you reached the bottom of the barrel, and now all of a sudden you think we're out. We're out of liquid. We have no more wine to serve. There's nothing left at the dinner. I'm like, dude, there's another barrel right next to you.

We could talk about Haiti Pavlach, unearthing new information, new information about the superintendent in Iowa with a long criminal record. You didn't like that one? You didn't want to do that? Oh, you forgot. It's a long list. What about Jay Jones, Attorney General of Virginia, who has threatened to shoot his political opponent or would like to see his political opponent

with two bullets and hay you didn't like that one either you didn't like that love that one i really liked that one um that's my mistake i blame myself i blame you too no it's kidding so let me get this straight you pulled the ripcourt on quick takes with still three stories in the hopper you had three bullets left in the belt and you announced to the country that you were out of ammunition i panicked our audience is left wanting you panicked you panicked you panicked you panicked Jay Jones running in Virginia for political office in unearthed texts had the following to say about a political opponent whose last name is Gilbert in the state of Virginia. He said three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot.

Gilbert gets two bullets to the head. Spoiler. Put Gilbert in the crew with any of the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time. Whoever he's texting with responds, Jay, please stop. up. It really bothers me that you talk about hurting people or wishing death upon them. At some point, the text chain, he does say, I do think Todd Gilbert and Jennifer's wife are evil, and they are breeding little fascists. Yes, as we speak, there have been zero endorsements dropped for Jay Jones in Virginia. No Democrat has said he should drop out of the race.

that having endorsed him for this office in Virginia, they stand by him today with language like that in the culture that we live in today, perhaps because he knows of the justice system and the way it's working as we walk through these stories in the electric version hosted by Tinfoil Pat of QuickTakes. I went to jail so you don't have to. A new memoir by Peter Navarro.

He joins us next on Wilcane Country. Red River rivalry this weekend in Dallas, Texas, Texas OU. That's why I will allow a sooner helmet on my desk, which was sent to us, courtesy of Senator Mark Wayne Mullen. Credit to Senator Mullen, he fulfilled his promise. He wanted an OU helmet on the desk, and he got it. He sent it in. I feel like, fellas, there was somebody that was going to send us a Georgia helmet. I just can't remember who it was.

It wasn't Joey Jones. Somebody had promised a Georgia helmet. Send your helmet in. Maybe it'll make its way on the desk here at Will Cain Country. I went to jail. I went to prison, not just jail. I went to prison so you won't have to. It's a new book out by White House Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing.

It is Peter Navarro, and he joins us now on the program. What's up, Peter? Well, hey, I'm big of your set, man, but I got condolences for your longhorns there, man. It's like she puts you in for quarterback, I think. Can we have that controversy here? You want to talk policy. That's my quick take. What's going on behind my Janet, man.

You might have a job because, you know, this thing keeps running. This train doesn't stay on the rails very well during quick takes. And so whenever you want to step down from negotiating trade deals with Belgium, you can come over here and hang out with us on Wilcane Country. And by the way, you want real politics, Peter? You want real politics? I mean, dealing with Xi Jinping or Vladimir Putin is probably nothing compared to what Steve Sarkisian is dealing with, like, what do I do? I've got this five-star quarterback with a famous last name, and he's not very good, and I can't bench him.

He has no idea how to deal with the politics of the situation for the Longhorns. I don't know where that five stars came up. He does have a famous last name, but, you know, Sarkeesian, I love that guy. It was back in Cali, and he was the coach at U.S. USC when he ran into his troubles there. And, you know, I just, it was so nice to see him kind of resurrect himself in Texas. But really, that's painful to watch. It was very painful Saturday.

Very painful, getting whipped by the Florida Gators. Peter's got a new book out, as I mentioned. I went to prison, so you won't have to. I want to get into some of the politics and really talk about the judicial system as well. But you spent a good portion of the book, Peter, talking about your experience in prison. And I found that fascinating. Share that a little bit of that with us. Down in Miami, federal prison, that's a new world you got experience and exposure to. Yeah, no country for old men there, Will.

I was in there with 200 felons, and I was the only guy that had committed a misdemeanor. I was the only guy who would wind up serving the full term of his sentence because of the politics. the whole damn thing. And it was, it was, it was tough. You go in there, there's a little chapter and I went to prison, so you won't have to, it's a diary kind of on a daily basis. And it's like the coldest summer I ever spent was, the coldest winter I ever spent was the summer in a Miami prison.

And so I get in there the first day, you know, kind of looking around, I'm wondering what's going on. And I get in there, it's like 58 degrees. right i'm going what what it's like an icebox and a lightning bolt like almost a year ago it hit the electronics of of the air conditioner and wiped out the thermostat so rather than put in like a two hundred dollar thermostat they spent like three grand a month extra just running the thing full time you know it's like freezing but but that day i learned that you know there's humanity in prison if you're not a snitch right

they'll treat you good. So the first day, they got all these leftover sneakers and shorts and stuff before you can actually get them yourself, and they give them to you. But here's what's interesting. Like, one of the first days I'm there, I go out in the yard, and these three guys from Puerto Rico surround me, right? About half of people there were Puerto Rico. There's an interesting story in it of itself.

And one of the guys, I look at it, you know, what could go wrong here? And one of them says, I like you. I go, what's that all about? Why? And he goes, you're not a snitch. And I'm thinking to myself, okay, what's the moral equivalence here between me standing up for the constitutional separation of powers and refusing the congressional subpoena, then these guys trusting themselves not to snitch, right?

So, you know, funny stuff like that. But like when they, when any inmate that goes into prison, they go on the legal database, This is this thing called Pacer, and they can actually read the case and figure out whether the guys are snitch, depending on how he was treated and what his sentencing is. And man, if you're a snitch, it's not a place to be. But health-wise, not good. Food-wise, it's not good. I didn't wind up, though, well, in the experience, and I documented, and I went to prison so you won't have to. I was able to uncover, like, I think, investigated reporters what I turned into.

And I covered this like $5 billion taxpayer scandal where they weren't properly enforcing the Trump First Step Act. And while I was inside, over time, I got everybody organized to figure all this out. And actually outside now, I've actually solved the problem. So, I mean, I actually go in there and I'm saving the taxpayer $5 billion as part of that. But, you know, the real story, and apropos of what you were talking about earlier, Will, it's like, I'm an Old Testament guy. And we need, we need Old Testament justice. We need Old Testament thinking in this country.

And the whole point of I went to prison so you won't have to. What does the title mean? It means that it's a wake-up call. It's there coming after you. If they can get me, if they can get banned, put us in prison. If they can try to put Donald Trump in prison, that's coming after you. And what I'm dedicating now is to make sure everybody, who was part of the lawfare weaponized justice against me and Bannon and Trump.

And everybody I served with, Will, got to hold them accountable. So as the boss says, let's see what happens. But it's a fun book, Steve. It's part Stephen King, it's part Joseph Heller, it's all Kafka. And I hope you folks will out there in Will King, can't read it. Well, let's return to the book in just a moment, but I want to take you up on sort of the larger lesson of being an Old Testament guy. I think that's actually a really good analogy in that the entire justice system, to the extent it's not driven by audiology, is driven by New Testament

forgiveness. And look, forgiveness is an interesting concept. It's an individual concept. I think a victim chooses whether or not to forgive, and ultimately, God forgive us. But as a society, we have to focus on accountability. And you can forgive and hold accountable at the same time. And we just see this in story after story, I feel like in the past 72 hours of judges, whether or not they be in Washington, D.C., when it comes to the attempted assassin of Brett Kavanaugh or in Kentucky of this monster let go after stabbing a six-year-old boy to death. When you look at it, and by the way, for anybody listening and watching this week on the Will Cancho, I'm going to be sharing another horrible story of a judge who did something here in Texas that defies your belief.

And I just wonder, you know, Senator Tom Cotton was just on the Fox News Channel, and he said, we got to start talking about impeaching judges. What do you think about that? How do we deal with this lack of an Old Testament mindset when it comes to the judicial system? Well, look, it's incompatible with economics. It's incompatible with criminal justice thinking. I mean, if you don't punish appropriately, it will happen again.

I mean, it's like the border. If they just get come and you open it up, they're going to come. If you get them free health care, even more of them will come. In the case of these judges, I mean, I've got a real bone to pick with my judges. As I document, and I went to prison so you won't have to will. Every single person responsible for the long journey for me to get getting arrested, to getting in prison was a Democrat. And I think about that.

In America, everybody involved in my persuasion was a Democrat. It was the Democrat congressman to start with on a majority. party-line vote, and then it goes over to the Justice Department, such as it is, and you got Merrick Garland at the top, Matt Graves, and then even the attorneys. And then I'd get to a jury in D.C., that was a joke, 12 Democrats, you're not going to get a fair trial there. But the judges, see, Will, this is insane. I never thought this could happen in America. By the time I got to the jury and the trial, Judge Amit Mayda, Obama appointed his

stripped me of every single defense. I had no defense. He did that. And then this will blow your mind, Will. There's two judges on the appeals court in D.C., which is a cesspool. It's Patricia Millett and Cornelia Pilar, okay? When I was convicted and sentenced, I appealed that because ordinarily, well, the standard procedure is released pending appeal. In other words, Don't put me in a slammer until my appeal is heard, particularly when there's huge constitutional questions involved. These two judges said there's no issues involved and you're going to the slammer. Now, my appeal will be heard in oral arguments in December. Well, I haven't given it up because of these big constitutional issues.

Guess who's on that appeals panel? The same two judges who said I had nothing to appeal will be the ones hearing. my appeal. So when you say, do I think these judges should be impeached, hell yes. I mean, these judges like, at Portland is like, that's a really nice city, or at least it used to be. I don't understand that place. But when I see ICE agents verbally assaulted and approached with people who have obvious weapons, and they don't have the ability to put them right to the ground and put them in a truck and take them off to the slammer, something's wrong. And the fact that we can't send a National Guard in the air court of some liberal judge, that's crazy stuff. And so

no, I mean, these judges need to be held accountable. And we need to get back to an Old Testament world, Will, because it just doesn't work. I mean, people are going to die, people are going to get rape, people are going to get robbed. And the judges, and they don't have to worry about it. They don't have to worry about it. Unless you're a Supreme Court judge like Brett Kavanaugh, and then God comes to kill you and wipe out your family. It's like, oh, eight years in prison. I mean, I was serving with people. Well, I was serving with people in that Miami federal prison. He had longer prison sentences for doing like, I don't know, one-twentieth of that. I mean, it's crazy stuff. Let's take a quick break. From this conversation with the author, if I went to prison

so you didn't have to. Peter Navarro here on Will Cain Country. Welcome back to Will Cain Country. We're still hanging out with White House Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing. And the author of a new book, I went to prison so you don't have to, Peter Navarro. I know you believe in the separation of powers in the constitutional order, just like I do, the three co-equal, each branches of the United States government. It has historically, ingeniously at its founding and historically at times served to limit the power. of the federal government by design as drawn up in the Constitution. Elon Musk reposted on X somebody talking about what President Buckele did in El Salvador to sort of clean house with the judicial system that was stepping in the way of him getting El Salvador in order. That has left

many on the left talking about the real constitutional crisis in America that to the extent that Elon is in the administration, we know that Elon is not, but his influence, his power, that we are, it is fulfilling the fever dreams that President Trump is forcing a constitutional crisis. You and I can acknowledge the problem. We have, both in your personal situation, in these anecdotal cases across the country, and now as well, stepping in the way of National Guard helping ICE agents protect their own security in the city of Portland. But the real question, beyond impeachment, Peters, what can you do about it? What can you do about it and avoid the constitutional crisis?

It's very difficult. If you look at the lens of my own situation, I was a senior White House advisor. I was subpoenaed by Congress, according to the doctrine of executive privilege set forth by George Washington himself and enforced for the last 50 years by the Department of Justice. It was my duty not to honor that subpoenaed because of the separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches. As George Washington said back during the J treaty when he started this, it's like, I have no more power to command you to come to the White House than you Congress have to command me to come there. Right. So what do you do, Will, when a Democrat Congress under Pelosi

and under Benny Thompson decide to violate that separation of power, superiors? to somebody and actually put me in prison. What do you do? Well, the only thing I could do is go to prison, write a book, come out, fight the appeal, but I still got these liberal judges who just ignore the law and push their partisan agenda. So you're asking the wrong guy, because I would say do whatever we have to in terms of challenging that, up to the point of we don't want to ruin it we had a great system here okay i don't want to provide any fodder whatsoever for the fantasies of the left but i would say to the left you're screwing up what you're screwing up here with this kind of behavior people are dying people are getting raped people are

being burglar you're losing your job on the economic kind of point of view your wages are going down all because of a progressive agenda which is new testament driven and it has no concept of patriotism i mean they hate this country world they hate it with a passion and i you know i mean that's why texas is becoming the new wall street because of guys like mom domi i mean who could have imagined that so what do you do i mean what i'm doing is i write a book i went to prison so you won't have to yeah wake up america they can come for you i'm hoping that translates into political action and that we elect republicans god help us will god help us will god help us if we lose the House of Representatives in 2026 of the Democrats. God help us, because

that is going to be impeachment subpoena chaos. Oh, yeah. It'll be a revisit or worse of what you live through and we lived through as a country there for four years during the first Trump presidency. Peter, what did you learn in prison? I'm just curious as a man. You know, you dealt with things that most of us don't see in our real world, in our real life. You saw, I believe you wrote about this, ethnic tribalism, ethnic divide. You spent a lot of time on your own reflection. You had your freedom taken away. What did you learn as a man? Well, I think the bigger question is what I learned from the whole experience, including prison. And it's simply that when you come to that crossroads and you have a decision to make as to whether you stand up for principle,

for what's right, for your duty to the country, your duty to your office, you can choose to do that, which is what I did, or you can choose to bend the knee. And what I learned, Will, is that doing the right thing is the right thing to do very simply. And if it's prison time that I had to deal with, so be it. But I don't want to live on my knees. I don't want to ever live on my knees. And if you go into prison with the right attitude, they can't hurt you. And that's the attitude I tried to take in. I went in there not knowing what to expect. It's a dangerous place. But I made the best of the time. There's a story in the book about actually saved the guy's life one day. be dead right now if it hadn't been for me being in there and be able to use my position,

as it were, of power in some sense, where I could push the envelope at some risk to ask for things that might otherwise happen. So, you know, it's like take every day and cherish it, cherish you freedom, cherish the next meal you have, because you could be in prison-eating cardboard, love your family, love your wife, your kids. And just every day get up and help the world be a better place to the extent you have the power to do that. And if you don't have the power to it, just make sure that your own family is taken care of in a way which helps the broader community.

a lot of what Peter just told you as well as, by the way, his suggestion of love is part of this story. You should check it out. It's, I went to prison so you don't have to buy Peter Navarro, White House Senior Counsel for Trade and Manufacturing. We always enjoy having you on, Peter, on current events, but also on these bigger, broader topics that you not only know about, but you've lived through. So there it is on screen. This is my girl, my fiancé. She stood by me the whole time. and she was my rock and love her dearly and I appreciate the time today it's going to be a blockbuster news tomorrow I think coming out of Senator Chuck Grassley's committee which

pertains in my case so you be sure and track that you might you might get a laugh out as well rather there's your T's for tomorrow there'll be a quick take tomorrow big news for tomorrow much. Peter Navarro. We'll see you next time. All right. Quick takes for tomorrow. Quick takes for tomorrow is set up. Now we just need to find a host. We're either going to have tinfoil pat working on his contract negotiations in the middle of a holdout, or we're going to plug right back into that socket and take another ride on the roller coaster with tinfoil pat and quick takes. I'll tell you what, today's fun might not be over because we have final takes before we go. Plus, why is it all the best teams and the best quarterbacks and the best players

We thought going into this season are not when it comes to college football. That's coming up on Wilcane Country. Bumper Pool, the current addiction of Wilcane Country. Streaming live, by the way, at the Wilcane Country YouTube channel. The Fox News Facebook page is also a Wilcane Country Facebook page. We would love you to come hang out on any of these platforms. forums. We bring you into the show. We drop your comments. We interact. You are a member of the Alicia. But if it doesn't fit your schedule that day, you're not streaming live for whatever

reason. You can always catch us by following us at Spotify or on Apple. I spent my weekend watching football, Houston, Texas, high school football Friday night. Good game for the punter and kicker, even a pretty nice-looking on-side kick. But that's what happens when you lose 45 to 14. You take your small victories, and you have a lot of opportunities to punt. You have a lot of opportunities for an on-side kick. And a bad day Saturday, as the Longhorns actually just pretty much got dominated. I mean, there was a small quasi-comeback at the end of the game against the Florida Gators, but it just doesn't look good. It doesn't look good at quarterback. It doesn't look good on the offensive line. It doesn't look good in general, the running game for the Texas Longhors.

But for that matter, it doesn't look good for the Clemson Tigers. It doesn't look good for a lot of the teams we thought were going to be really good this season. Let's bring in tinfoil, Pat, in two a days, Dan. It looks like I did jinx you tinfoil, not on your performances on quick take, but my proclamation two weeks ago with Urban Meyer that Florida State was back, and I think you've lost every game since I proclaimed that Florida State is back. So the top 25. Sorry. So it's fine. We played some close ones, you know, Listen, the thing about these preseason polls, nobody knows who's good and who's not good.

Maybe Virginia is pretty good. We thought about that. Maybe they have a quarterback who's worth a crap, you know. It's a little tricky, you know, going into Virginia on a Friday night, you know. Play them in double overtime. Notorious. I mean, come on. These things happen.

You play the team that should be number one right now. I mean, I'll take it, you know. Tough two-game stretch. yeah everybody knows you don't want to go into uh to charlottesville on friday night you know virginia is notoriously like you know death valley in in louisiana real killer sorry you don't know the history we it's we lost intimidating places to play in college football our first acc loss in 1995 was in charlottesville on a thursday night so i mean it's tricky it's a tricky place historically. It's tricky. We've gone into tricky world. It's a tricky,

football game. And that explains Florida State losing to Virginia and then subsequently to Miami. But I have no position to talk. I'm really worried about the Red River rivalry. I'm worried about Arch Manning. I'm worried about Texas OU. It could be ugly this weekend. The city of Dallas is going to be taken over by Crimson and Cream and Burnt Orange and White. It's always fun in Dallas, but it's going to be, I have arrived at the low-expected. limitations portion of the season so it can only go up from here you know life's about expectations to your point about that's where you're at the think about that is yeah oh yeah oh yeah but um correspondingly my expectations are going up for the cowboys up for the cowboys that's a

couple of nice performances cd's going to come back soon got a running game cd's coming back giovante williams can run the ball um george pickins excuse me don't want to say it do i want to say it do i say it i don't want to say it because i've been a jinxer in the past I did an interview on Friday in my hometown, and sometimes you do these interviews, they send you the questions ahead of time. And one of the questions was, what is one of your most unpopular opinions? And I was prepared to say that I think one of my most unpopular opinions is that I do and still believe that Dak Prescott's good enough to win a Super Bowl. Of course, I've been very liberal with that opinion in the past, and it hasn't panned out for me. We might be looking at an MVP right now in the NFL, five games into the season.

Nobody's better. You admitted it You're a Packers fan He destroyed you He was perfect Against the Packers And he was perfect against the Jets Are you talking about MVP of the NFL?

Yeah Yes What do you think I'm talking about MVP of I don't know The DFW area Greater Metroplex Yeah

Of the Dallas football teams NFL Yeah He's really Really good So my own popular opinion is I'm back We're back

Dax back. I'm super excited by Doc Prescott right now. Delusional will is really fun. I really like this portion of the season. More than disappointed and low expectation. Yeah, it's a little less sad and a little more fun. Yeah. I mean, I'm telling you, I mean, we may score, we may have to score 35 points a game. Defense was better yesterday, but this could be a fun cowboy season. Like, if you had a choice for your season, would you rather your team have a, a really good defense and a bad offense or a really good offense and a bad defense.

Forget what's your likelihood to win a Super Bowl and the best way to build a team. What's a more fun season? And it's kind of fun to know, yeah, man, we're going to put some points on the board. Javante's a surprise, man. He looks great. That rookie you're talking about, that blue or what's the name? Jaden Blue? Yeah, he hasn't hit the field.

Yeah, he can't get on the field. No. He can't even get on the roster. by the way. That's not just a Javante issue. But Javante Williams is... Ferguson looks good? It's really good. Really good. Well, that's because Dax's really good.

Really good. Dack Preston. So he makes everyone around him better. Is that what you're saying? It's like a Tom Brady type. But... But... These preseason rankings don't come out of nowhere, Patrick. You look at roster retention from the previous season. How many guys did you keep over? How many

five stars? And I'll give you... You know, there's a lot into what does that mean to be a I think even Peter Navarro kind of pooped on the idea of a five star a moment ago. That and you, Patrick, he had harsh words for. But that being said, you can look at rosters and you can look at what they did last season and say they should be better or top or good this season. Like, okay, set aside my own bias on Texas. There's really no reason that Clemson should be where they are, two and three. like based on what we know about last season

based on who they brought in and who they retained there's no reason right it just kind of defies expectations so you think Miami should be the number one of the team in the country okay we'll see we're starting to get into the place in the season where everybody plays real teams we're done playing Sam Houston not Notre Dame

we're done playing Wofford we already played our teams are you still doing layups up there yep the rest of the year rest of the year we started we started we started hard and then finish soft that here he is he's on the royal we he's acting like he knows their schedule yeah he can't even name a wide receiver he can't name a wide receiver you had to go for receiver yeah yeah at this point i've given him such a hard time about quarterback that i have he has to know the name of the quarterback at this point and the running back's one of the most

famous guys yeah yeah they're the most famous guys name name a receiver quit looking at your computer screen. Dan, name a receiver for the Fighting Irish. That really good one that scores a bunch of touchdowns. Yeah. No, I'm still focused on the Yankees. He's over here just, just, he's over here just we in it, weaned up. He's throwing wheeze out like nobody's business.

I don't even watch Notre Dame and I can name a receiver. I'm still stuck on the Yankees losing terribly in the playoffs, so I'm still stuck there. Your baseball season is still going. How about Jaden Greathouse? Put that in your pocket. hang on to Jaden Greathouse. Yeah, you're still baseball season.

I'm done with baseball season pretty much. I may come back at the ALCS NLCS. I may come back then. If you don't have a team in, be honest. Okay, the Braves aren't, where are the Braves are out? They were bad. Rangers are out. We're on July.

Did you pay attention to wild card rounds, Patrick? No. No. Is it funny thing? Are you paying attention to the Division Series? No. Will you pay attention to the championship series? No.

A-L-CS and-C-S-I-S. I will. I love baseball. Will you pay attention to the World Series? No, I'm really out on baseball in general. It's right now. It's not really feeling it. That's what Mark DeShare said. When he came on, I asked him off air, I was like, do you still watch baseball?

Because Josh Amaldon said he didn't. Mark said he only watches the playoffs. He says, season's too long. Mark's going to come in and be with us, I think, on one of these days. I believe we have Mark's schedule to come hang out of this. That's a really interesting perspective. I wonder if he feels that way as a player, too. Probably not as a player, just as a fan.

He felt like the season was too long as a player. Yeah. He was like, man, it was long. He was like it was tough. We were just kind of chatted up. But that's how they make their money. I know. That's how he got, I mean, Mark did really well financially.

And it's a volume game. That's how they make their money. by volume, volume of ticket sales, volume of television opportunities, 162 opportunities to make money. And I don't think they'll ever go down. Like, we can play the game, and I've said the NBA should definitely reduce their season. But these, it's just a different model than football than we're used to. It's like, I don't know, it sounds mean, but it's like it's a musician that plays stadiums and a musician that goes around the country playing bars.

And the guy that goes around the country playing bars has to play a lot of shows. To grind. You know, the guy that sells stadiums out can only do it two or three times a year. And that brings us to final takes. Let's give the wheel for a moment to Tinfoil, Pat, because he's got something to say about Bad Bunny and a Chinese bridge. Go ahead, Tinfoil Pat. Oh, I actually had some breaking news, Will.

There's a little bit of controversy. Breaking news. Our friend Clay Travis is reporting. that following his interview with Paul Feinbaum, Paul Feinbaum has been removed from ESPN by Disney. Wow. I guess not his show show, but from all other appearances.

So, a Disney are, isn't it? I believe it's being denied, though, by, it's been denied by a PR rep with Disney, but it's also been confirmed by, an Alabama newspaper

on three sports and a few other outlets. So it's conflicting here. I'll find out an interview to Outkick.com. Clay Travis said not only was he thinking about running for Senator in Alabama but that ESPN killed his opportunity to interview

Donald Trump, which is going to be just about sports, wasn't going to be about politics. And of course, the hypocrisy on that is pretty easy to find. They've allowed Andy Casseh. and others to do brackets with President Barack Obama and so forth. I mean, but here's the thing. You have, this is predictable.

Like, if he is an employee of ESPN, and he's sharing information like that without kick, what do you think is going to happen? Yeah. Like, I mean, I get it, but, like, what do you think is going to happen? You got to do that after you leave. What do you shrug in your shoulders? Like, yeah, after you leave, if I did, if I did an interview right now and had negative things to say about Fox, do you think I'd just be here tomorrow, letting her fly? You know, like, I don't know. Maybe I wouldn't. Maybe I wouldn't. But, I mean, what do you think is going to happen? Of course.

He is being removed from guest appearances on whatever, get up. But, uh, they don't think those things later. So breaking news there from Clay Travis and from Outkick. Okay, you've got two stories, though, really quickly. Patrick, let's hit them. in final takes. Now, you know, I know you're down there in Texas Will. You probably already know a little bit of Spanish, but just in case, Bad Bunny has this message for you ahead of his Super Bowl headlining appearance. I'm very excited to be doing the Super Bowl,

and I know that people all around the world who love my music are also happy, especially all the Latino. All the Latinos and the Latinas in the world and here in the States United, all the persons who have worked to open doors more than a

more than a more than a of all, it's a of all, demonstrating that our way and the deportation in this country, nobody will never ever can't take or borrow.

And if you didn't understand what I just said, you have four months to learn. You have four months to learn Spanish. I have it, if you need it. You have what? What he said? The translation? Yeah. How do you?

Yeah, I want to know. I've got Ed over here, but he doesn't have a microphone. Ed should be able to translate it for me. What do you have? Tell Ed to come over here. English version? Yeah, I think so. Ed, come over here.

I'm very excited to be doing Super Bowl. What do you have? Did you... Yeah, go ahead. Especially all the Latinos and Latinos across the world, and here in the United States, all those who have worked to open doors. It's more than an achievement for myself, and it's an achievement for all of us, he said over applause. It shows our footprint and our contribution to this country that no one will ever be able to take

away or a race. Okay, Trent. No, that's it. He hit in the, yeah, absolutely verbatim. I know Spanish. I'm definitely not reading this. That was an easy, easy, that was an easy. Yeah, that's exactly what he said.

Because I translated it when he was saying it. It's like, all he, where did you translate it? In your head? Yeah, in my head. I speak in Spanish. I think in Spanish. You didn't write it down? He talked for a long time.

I didn't need to write it down. You didn't memorize everything. A hundred percent I did. All right, go. No, I'm not going to. No, no, it's okay. We can repeat on the program. Go ahead. No, we're not going to repeat. Oh, shoot. My iPad fell. He just wants to try to embarrass us all, Ed.

It's all. Yeah. What did he said? He said that I just try to embarrass everybody on Wilcane Country. Thank you, tinfoil. There you go. See, now you got a compatriot. Yes. I'm glad by him. You have a Hermano. Tinfoil. Nice one. There you go. Don't you come over here doing this. Do you have a...

The Asian silent. It's Hermano. You have not a Hermano. Hermano. You have an Hermano. That's what I said. Romano. No, you said, you said Hermano.

Talk about white, pale, and stale. Who? Me? Who? Who? Me? All of us. I mean, we're not speaking Spanish here.

Two male. Two stale. Here's the thing. I have culture fatigue on being upset about Bad Bunny. I will say, I do not appreciate English is the language of America, period. That doesn't mean you can't speak Spanish and you should be able to speak multiple languages and it's good that you can speak another language. And I embrace that Ed is bilingual. But the bottom line is English is the language of the country.

And you are going to do a Super Bowl halftime show for the country. For that matter, the world, I know. But it is the biggest stage in America. And it isn't incumbent upon the audience to learn your language. It is incumbent upon you to speak their language. So that's that. I think you should be speaking English. However, I have culture fatigue a little bit.

You know, tinfoil, maybe you have a little bit, you know, better fire burning. But like the bad money Super Bowl thing, I just can't get that fired up about it. There's enough going on in the world that this isn't one that I'm... What? Oh, you mean you can't get fired up and mad about it. Got it, got it. I thought you meant you're not excited. Yeah.

Oh, I'm not excited about it either. I'm not. I'm both. Both. If you had told me before you played that Saturday Night Live clip, here's five dudes, which one's Bad Bunny? I would not been able to do it. I do not, like, he's not a famous face.

He's a famous name. And I don't know that I know his music. I'll bet you. To you, I know he's very, very popular. So you think Bad Bunny is a super famous face? Yes. Around the world? Really?

He's probably one of the. top five faces around the world. It's like one of those soccer players. Really? Yeah, it's like a soccer player. Yes, that's a good example, Will. Say you, like, can most people name, you know, name a very famous soccer player. It's not Messi or Ronaldo right now. Erling Holland.

Yeah, see, how famous is he around the world? Huge, probably. Probably bigger than. So I think that most people like us here wouldn't be able to know his face. So you're right in that way, but they are still huge. Okay. It's just also not my type of music. So I get it. This isn't in the cultural wheelhouse for me.

But the reason I said that about his face as well is that I watched Happy Gilmore 2, and it was chock full of came of came. And I saw the list of cameos. And I didn't know which one. I didn't know which one was bad bunny. Like when he was in it, he came and went. I was like, I don't know. Do your son's like Bad Bunny at all? Until later did I realize? Don't know. I haven't talked to him about Bad Bunny.

It hasn't come up at dinner. The one thing is, the one thing I will say, He collaborates with a lot of English singing artists, so I think there will be a lot of English in the performance. He'll bring out a ton of people. He's featured on so many different albums. I think it'll be better than most people think. He's Puerto Rican. Yeah, American.

He's Puerto Rican? Is he a reggaeton? He's not reggaeton? No, not reggaeton. I'm saying not good, right? Right, Armano? I know about reggaeton. What do you know about reggaone?

That's what guy. Hey, I'm surprised that you know regatone. How about this? Daddy Yankee? Boom. Reggae tone. Daddy Yankee. Wow.

Mike drop. I'll give you. Yeah, I know Daddy Yankee. I'll give you a prize for that. Do you know what Jay Balvin is? Is he the biggest reggaeton guy? No. I know Daddy Yankee and regatone for my Keenegra days, Dan, when I was a Keensenera

mogul. I used to be a mogul In the weirdest parts of Will Kane's life Yeah Yeah Look it up Look it up Ask some people

Mogul And Google me I wouldn't suggest that I want to tell people to do that Don't do that Do not look it up Do not look that up All right

Final final takes Tinfoil Pat Take us to China Now this is crazy We have B-roll of this So, you know, we're going to play it. We're just playing right now. The world's tallest bridge in China.

They built it. And under four years, Will, it took us four and a half years to build the Golden Gate Bridge, not that tall. But this one has a restaurant in it, like a waterfall thing. Nobody knows. I don't know. Massive. But it's crazy. It's massive.

Why can't we do this in America? What is up with this? Lois bidder. That's why. I don't know. Slave labor, printing funny money. Unions, I don't know. There are legit reasons.

They're also like House of Cards. I can't figure out, is that the waterfall? Is that water coming off the bridge? Is that what that is? That's it. Wow. Isn't that crazy? They can do different patterns and everything?

Now I really know what you're talking about. Yeah, why don't we do stuff like this? That seems like a horrible waste of water. Yeah, California is in a drought. That'd be ridiculous. Yeah. That's amazing. Yeah, I mean, there's legitimate reasons like unions and they basically can employ slave labor.

I also wonder about the whole China, House of Cards, Funny Money World that everybody talks about. But everybody's been saying it for over a decade, you know, written books about Paper Tiger. But when does that economy come to a screeching halt? They do have like sky rises that are empty, like buildings that are empty that they build. And they demolish them without anybody ever being built. It's like it's the ultimate in Keynesian economics. you know, like spend money and even if it's unproductive

and it juices the economy, it puts people to work. I mean, there's entire communities that are empty. Yeah, it's crazy. That's right. And you've got to think that falls apart at some point unless Keynes is right. Just build stuff you don't need because why?

Because you're employing people. But somebody's got to make money somewhere down the road and it's just the government buying that stuff. Like, then it's just a whole big circular house. house of cards and taxes and money and borrowing. Like, I don't know. I don't buy the dig a hole and fill it up economy. But back to the bridge. Dan, you ask the operative question. There's a restaurant in the, what do you call those? The support columns of the bridge. It's a, what do you call that kind of bridge? It's a suspension bridge. It's a suspension bridge, right? Yeah, so on the

suspension pillars at the top, there's a restaurant. And here's the real question. Where do you park? Yeah. I'm going to dinner on the bridge. Where do you park? Maybe helicopter in. You can't park on the bridge. You'll stop traffic. It's probably a very expensive restaurant.

They helicopter in, you know. Do you park and walk on the bridge to the restaurant? I would think that there's golf carts that drive you to it? Look at Ed. Ed's always thinking. But there's a golf carts. There's a high speed elevator that brings you up to the top. Yeah.

So good job, China. guess, that restaurant feels like the kind of restaurant that would be out of business in a year. You know, every time they build these restaurants that are like the top of something and it sounds cool, it doesn't work out. What's the, like, there was a restaurant at the top of the World Trade Center, obviously, before 2001. I don't remember it being a big destination. There's a restaurant in the reunion tower, you know, in the ball in Dallas. It's not a big destination. I mean, kind of.

Prudential Boston's really good. They build these things in. Yeah, and people go up to it. Yeah. It's pretty popular. It's awesome. Yeah, yeah. It's really cool. What about the space needle in Seattle? What's at the top of the space needle? I don't know.

I think it's a restaurant or maybe a Starbucks coffee shop, probably. Well, let's book a reservation at the top of that China Bridge in a year and see if it's still in business. If they don't have to make money, if they're just digging holes and filling it in, they can keep serving Kung Pow Chicken at the top of the freaking bridge. And we're all going to do it for today here on Will King. country, make sure you follow some Spotify or Apple. We'll be back here at the same time, same place tomorrow. See you next time.
