One, conflicting Intel reports and spurious reporting on the Iranian bombing campaign reveals the presupposition, the bias, and the propaganda from mainstream media,
called out aggressively by Secretary of Defense Pete Hig said.
Two, former Congressman Jamal Bowman says that black Americans have higher rates of obesity and diabetes because of the strain and stress of being called directly and indirectly the in-directly on a daily basis.
We talk about it with the host of Fox and Friends Weekend, Rachel Campos Duffington.

We got two days, Dan.
We got tinfoil pat.
We've got the crew,
and we've got a very special day.
Flag day.
Raise the flag.
I'm overtaken with how many different things I can say
and work the word flag into
in my future.
as we
play capture the flag.
Nope.
A new flag
raises over Dallas.
Absolutely not.
The new flag
of the NBA.
Cooper flag.
There we go.
I'm so pumped.
I'm so pumped.
It is a new era.
Cooper flagged the number one overall draft pick
in the NBA draft.
Now a Dallas Maverick.
A little bit later in the show,
we're going to break down the NBA draft.
There was some,
funny moments we want to share with you from the coverage last night on ESPN and ABC.
And also my old friend, my old co-host, from Fox and Friends Week, and we'll join us, Rachel Campos Duffy.
Yesterday on the Will Kane show, I invited in Democrat congressman from Colorado, Jason Crow, to step into the arena.
He came in with good spirits.
We were going to talk about the bombing campaign.
on Iran and Israel.
Was it a success? Was it constitutional?
Was it just under the War Powers Act?
Did it obliterate Iran's nuclear capabilities?
More on the substance of that debate in just one moment.
But I like to invite people of different points of view into the conversation.
I like to have a back and forth.
I like to think it's cordial, but also impassioned.
And this is how it went with Congressman Jason Crow.
That's really fair.
And again, you're not going to find a lot of disagreements.
on that. But I'm trying to figure out why you're applying it to this particular issue.
There's no call to invade Iran. There's no call from this president to get involved in another
prolonged war in the Middle East. Yep. And here's why. The president, any president has the
authority to defend America under Article 2 of the Constitution, undoubtedly. Every president
has actually used that authority. But there has to be an imminent risk against Americans or
U.S. facilities. I have seen nothing, nothing in the last year that shows an
at risk, which means you have to come to Congress.
And why that's important is the reason I talked about before.
We spent 20 years in war and wasted trillions of dollars because we stopped having the debate.
Bravo for the congressman suggesting that Democrat presidents and Republican presidents
had, in fact, launched military campaigns short of going to Congress for a declaration
of war, and none other more so than former President Barack Obama, who literally launched
thousands and thousands of bombs on Syria, on Yemen.
Yemen, on Somalia, on numerous countries not covered by the 2003 authorization of military force.
Of course, it wasn't just Obama.
It was also Bill Clinton in Bosnia and in Kosovo.
And really, we haven't seen a declaration of war since World War II.
He indicted both Democrats and Republicans.
But he's also wrong in his analysis of the application of the War Powers Act.
The war powers resolution itself, very dubious, very dubious constitutional.
But the president does have broad, fluid powers under Article 2 of the United States Constitution
to launch military campaigns in defense of the United States of America.
And it is a little bit of a silly argument that Iran developing a nuclear program with intercontinental ballistic missiles
and constant chance of death to America.
But more importantly, campaigns to kill American soldiers in theaters of war and some entail suggesting
an assassination on the attempt of the life of Donald Trump, clearly quote.
qualifies under an imminent threat. My accusation for the congressman is not that he's not patriotic.
He served this country in the military as an army ranger, but rather that he's partisan. And he's
only doing this because the name in the White House is President Donald Trump. But I was more
for this moment interested in your feedback, comments from the Wollisha. I got quite a few, and I'm going
to go through these tinfoil and two days. I want you guys to kind of chime in as well because
I think it's fascinating. For just a moment, let's play meta.
Let's kind of hit the clouds at 30,000 feet.
Just see how people respond to differing points of view and disagreement.
So first of all, Starfire 08 says, darn good job, Will.
You certainly put Jason in his place.
Thank you for defending our country and standing up for real Donald Trump.
These Democrats forget Obama ordered airstrikes on Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan.
Not a peep from the Democrats.
So it says Starfire 08.
meanwhile fran stark says will we love you but why didn't you tell crow that the bushes went to war with
congressional approval clinton bomb bosnia and went to war without congressional approval
Obama bombed and went to war with Libya without congressional approval why didn't they say anything
about that i think i did exactly that fran i did bring up clinton i did bring up Obama
I did even have a full-screen graphic in front of you
to see exactly how much Obama had dropped
in terms of thousands of bombs across the Middle East
Sometimes people don't hear
They don't see I don't know
I love the all caps
Interesting
Like you're gonna like you're gonna listen more if it's in all caps
Yelling at me
All caps
Fran
You just gotta give it up to the boas yelling more listening
Less yelling more listening
I made those arguments
Lib 292 says
Will good job on your new show
show. I like your interviews. But Mia P. Null says, you need to start treating all Democrat
politicians as hostile witnesses instead of sucking up to them. Wow. I don't think I'm sucking
up to them. Maybe cordiality reads as sucking up. I don't know. I think some people just want
to see me like let them speak four words. Interrupt. Be super tonally mean. It's not my style.
Like you're wrong. Here's why.
Are you real?
Not just you're wrong.
Here's why.
I actually think they want it to be, as this guy says, hostile.
And I think you can be impassioned without being hostile.
Ruby Tuesday says, Will, you were flaming hot today on your questions to Colorado Congressman Jason Crow.
His answers couldn't hold a candle to your fire responses back to him.
Dang, I'm proud of you.
It's a wild how one person sees it as fiery and another person sees it as flaccid.
Like Mark Impe, he says, you let that P-O-S traitor play you like a violin.
He owned you and all you did was pleasure him orally.
Weak, you never asked him about Obama's many warpower moments, utterly played you.
Mark, I literally put on the screen visually how many times Obama.
What's wrong with that face, Patrick?
How hard he came at me and...
That was a bit over the top.
I didn't need to, yeah.
This is what I get.
This is the feeling that people have when it comes to these debates.
I think there's a good, good chunk of the audience.
It simply does not want to hear what someone who has a disagreement has to say.
And they can't hear my rebuttals and they're yelling at me about how weak I am
as I'm literally saying the things that they're mad at me for not saying.
RPM says, Will, great job with Jason.
and Crow in your show today, nothing is more frustrating to see the host not ask the right
questions. He didn't like what he heard. He didn't like what he saw. Who cares what he thinks?
I support my president, not any Democrat. Sit back. We have this now. I think that part of that
that's interesting is nothing is more frustrating than the host that doesn't ask the pointed
or necessary questions. But you have to understand. I don't know how many people watched
yesterday I'll find out a little bit later this afternoon. On Tuesday, something like 2.4 million
people watched the Will Kane show. And that means there's 2.4 million different opinions on
exactly what is the right question to ask and one that I can voice exactly in that moment what
you are thinking. One Adam 12 says, great interview with that Democrat congressperson, Will.
I won't go on to read the rest of that. Lonnie Longo says, who was conducting this back and
forth? Not the host. Lonnie doesn't think I was in control of the interview.
And I wonder what that's about.
I mean, I think I was in control of the conversation.
Now, I do allow myself at times to be interrupted.
I don't like the whole talk over each other game.
And I'll let somebody make a point, and then I'll substantively respond.
I don't remember, honestly, in my opinion, the last time I've lost control of an interview.
I'm sure that it has happened where the other person has had control.
And I will, as Joe Testore famously said, be a counterpuncher.
I will listen to what they have to say and counterpunch.
Some people see that as defense.
Saul says, I applaud you for holding Jason Crow's feet to the fire,
calling out democratic hypocrisy when it comes to the president's war power.
It's extremely laughable how they're up in arms right now
because they're all afraid for their re-election chances.
Clowns.
But Rod says, why didn't you ask the congressman why Obama didn't get congressional approval?
Come on, man.
Did that not go out on some percentage of my broadcast?
There's a lot of people ask me why I didn't say something that I did say.
Did TV's blink?
Did that not reach certain markets?
Not for me.
My point about Obama.
Sammy says, great show.
You put that guy in his place.
You are correct.
We are not engaging in war.
And C.G. Galloway says, you are an underappreciated talent, mad respect.
I like the conversation you have.
Finally, Magamom says, why must you subject us to these leftist S heads?
I'm turning off notification.
for your show, and I won't watch you sniff their butts for an effing interview.
So, to each his own.
No butt sniffing, man.
Stop butt sniffing.
To each his own, I guess everybody sees the same.
I think that shows the power of perception, how everybody can see the same exact car crash
and come away with a different impression of who was at fault in the incident.
But we'll continue doing it.
We will continue inviting in these conversations.
not just because of so many say why do you give them a platform you know there's plenty of places they can go
CNN MSNBC because it needs to also be called to account it needs to be confronted it needs to be
something where ideas are subjected to the light of debate and if I lose I lose if I win I win
but it's not performance it's not scripted it's not WWE it's real
Let's get into the reality of Iran and there is zero with story number one.
Jake Tapper on CNN after this report by both the New York Times and CNN from the Defense Intelligence Agency that it was low confidence and leaked from an anonymous source defended himself from what is now widely considered for reporting.
The CIA, the IAEA, and several other agencies have confirmed what the president and secretary of defense have said that Iran's nuclear capabilities have been set back by a matter of years.
But Jake Tapper wants you to know that after years of simply listening to the president and his surrogates about his mental condition, now, now it is time to remember your journalistic credibility and, hey, ask some questions.
Here's Jake Tapper.
asking questions is literally our job demanding facts and answers instead of just taking a president's
word for it all right taking a president's word for it meantime the secretary of defense and the chairman
of the joint chiefs dan raisin kane held a press conference this morning to talk about what actually
happened in Iran.
And with that, Hegsaith took on the media.
Heg Seth took to his podium.
And he had this to say about the reporting on this bombing.
Because you, and I mean specifically you, the press, specifically you, the press corps,
because you cheer against Trump so hard, it's like in your DNA and in your blood,
cheer against Trump because you want him not to be successful so bad, you have to cheer against
the efficacy of these strikes. You have to hope maybe they weren't effective. Maybe the way
the Trump administration has represented him isn't true. So let's take half truths, spun information,
leaked information, and then spin it, spin it in every way we can to try to cause doubt
and manipulate the public mind over whether or not our brave pilots were successful.
Man that was sharp.
Man that was impassioned.
He's exactly right in his analysis of the way the press and the media conducts its business.
I've been in this for over a decade.
I've been in over this for 15 years.
And that's exactly right.
You start with a presupposition.
You start with a bias.
You start with a feeling.
I don't like Donald Trump.
and then you get confirmation a leaked low confidence intel report designed to help you now attack something successful coming from Donald Trump
and then you report that half truth as a certainty and you're off and running now with your narrative failure by Donald Trump
heggseth continued at the podium there are so many aspects of what our brave men and women did that by because of the hatred of this press
Corps are undermined because people are trying to leak and spin that it wasn't successful.
It's irresponsible.
And folks in this room are privy to that information because of the proximity here in the Pentagon.
It's an important responsibility.
And time and time again, classified information is leaked or peddled for political purposes
to try to make the president look bad.
And what's really happening is you're undermining the success of incredible B-2 pilots
and incredible F-35 pilots
and incredible refuelers
and incredible air defenders
who accomplished their mission
set back a nuclear program
in ways that other presidents
would have dreamed.
How about we celebrate that?
I think he's actually being charitable
by calling it irresponsible.
Irresponsible suggests someone
with good intentions
who's not very good at their job
doesn't understand the weight of their responsibility.
These people know exactly what they're doing.
This is intentional.
It's not simply bias.
It's propaganda.
And that's their role. That's how they see their job. Meanwhile, that story that
Hegset talks about of our heroes, it was laid out awesomely like a scene out of top gun, which he said
it was not by joint chairman Dan Razen Kane.
The crews that attacked Fordow were from the active duty Air Force and the Missouri Air National Guard.
The crews ranked from captain to colonel and most were graduates of the
Air Force Weapons School, headquartered at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.
I will state for the record that there is no beach volleyball or football at the Air Force
Weapons School.
He went on to describe that mission in detail.
It was absolutely awesome.
And the success of this mission is not just not just been recognized by the CIA and the IAEA.
It has been recognized by not exactly friendly faces or friendly familiar.
neighbors in NATO, Mark Root, the leader of NATO, sent a gushing series of text to President Donald
Trump. And in that, he referenced Donald Trump as daddy. Now, Donald Trump also was asked
about this. This was yesterday. He was asked about being called daddy. For those of you watching
on YouTube or Facebook, I want you to keep your eyes trained on Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
For those you listening on radio or Spotify or Apple, maybe you can hear.
But I think it's notable in this clip.
Mark Rutter, the NATO chief, who is your friend, he called you daddy earlier.
Do you regard your NATO allies as kind of children?
No, he likes me.
I think he likes me.
If he does it, I'll let you know.
I'll come back and I'll hit him hard, okay?
He did.
He did it very affectionate.
Daddy, you're my daddy.
Do you regard your NATO allies, though, as kind of like children?
and they're obviously listening to you.
Oh, daddy, you're my daddy.
The funny thing about that clip to me
in that my humor always trends towards the less obvious.
There's a reason I like the Big Lobosky
more than Talladega Nights
is all the little subtleties in there.
Of course, I love that Marco Rubio
is absolutely authentically cracking up in the background.
That's not one of those, like I'm laughing
to sort of put an exclamation point on the moment.
I'm laughing because I can't control it.
And I think this is really funny.
That's Rubio in that moment in the background.
But equally funny to me is that Trump can sit in there and listen to it.
This reporter in this accent that I don't know what it is saying,
leader of NATO calls you daddy and Trump's pretty stoic.
He's just listening to it, right?
He doesn't start laughing until he gets to his part.
The daddy, oh, call me daddy.
He just listens to this serious conversation about a bombing campaign in Iran in front of the European press in the Netherlands.
and does remind me of a story that I wish I could tell.
I think I can tell.
I don't know if I can tell.
About the text I got from the President of the United States.
Regardless, he's in the Netherlands,
and they're talking about who's your daddy?
Incredible.
Let's run that by my old friend at Fox & Friends Weekend.

Former Congressman Jamal Bowman of New York
seems to be fashioning a public image
more suited for first take on ESPN.
Shocking that he actually held a seat in government.
You got to hear what he said on CNN.
It is Will Kane Country streaming live at foxnews.com
on the Fox News YouTube channel and the Fox News Facebook page.
Hey, hit subscribe as you could at Apple or on Spotify
or set a reminder over on YouTube.
So Jeval Bowman, you're familiar with him, I hope.
at this point. Here's a quick resume and reminder. Congressman, New York, pulled the fire alarm
in Congress. Denied he did so. He said he did not. Everybody had to vacate the building,
designed to delay a vote. Then security footage camera comes out and shows him, quite literally,
pulling the fire. Alarm, bashfully says, eh, you got me. Front steps of the Capitol having massive
debates with Congressman Byron Donald's about, I don't know, big beautiful bill, but this is before
the big beautiful bill, because he's now been ousted from Congress over whatever was coming up
in Congress, almost first takes now going back and forth, yelling over each other.
An absolute embarrassment when it comes to politics, bouncing around on stages with AOC,
trying to make politics some kind of, I don't know, performative rock star or hip part, hip hop star
status has taken his road show now to CNN. And this is what he had to say last night in an
impassioned debate, I guess, again, as though it's 2020, about the race problems of America.
I'm a black man in America. The reason why a heart disease, listen to what I'm saying,
the reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and diabetes are bigger in the black community
is because of the stress we carry from having a deal with being called the N-word
directly or indirectly every day.
If your colleagues would listen and try to learn and engage and grow
and stop being so hateful, we could have a better country.
But unfortunately, we're still here.
Okay, the country's problem is that it is so hateful.
It's just such a hateful country.
And that the reason black people have higher rates of obesity and diabetes and cancer,
and heart disease is because of the stress and pressure of being called the in-word directly or indirectly
on a daily basis. Let's see if any of that holds water with the coast of Fox and Friends Weekend and Fox Noticius,
Rachel Campos Duffy, who joins us now. What's up, Rachel?
Hey, well, so great to be on with you. You know, I love both your shows so much.
I know. I appreciate all the encouragement that you give me and everyone should know that she does
behind the scenes in text and on calls.
It's a great feeling to have that kind of support from your old friends.
I see you're at work.
I see you're about to do Notetius at some point.
I see you're, as usual, having trouble with your technology.
Have you ever considered a full-time assistant just to help you with your technology?
So I've asked Fox for that.
Like, actually, right now there's some HR thing I have to fill out.
And I'm literally like the only person in the building who hasn't done the thing
and they're calling everybody to get me to do it.
And it's not that I don't want to do the stupid HR
and sexual harassment thing.
It's just that I can't get on the computer.
So somebody is calling me today
to help me do my corporate duties of,
I literally, I think I'm the only person in the building who hasn't done it.
And it's a tech issue.
Well, I can assure you and confirm for you that you are not.
We have the same problems just for different reasons.
I got the text yesterday.
coming from my agent, hey, you need to do your training and it's got to be done in the next
couple of days. And I'm like, since when are you my HR representative? This was an odd one
for me. Like, I got to get this done ASAP. I do too, but you don't let their line because
they told me that I was the only one. But now it turns out also you had not done it. So
the threats are empty. My problem. Yours is you can't literally use a computer. My problem is I'm
just hard to get a hold of. I don't, I don't see emails and reminders. I don't see things to say,
hey, you're way tardy on this. So get on it. You, you, uh, you may have seen the clip of
Jamal Bowman last night on CNN talking about the problems of black America. Okay. And the reason why
is because of the stress of being called the inward, direct or indirectly. And I don't even know what
that means indirectly, by the way, but that's literally led to obesity, Rachel. Yeah, well, I have,
I have so many things to say on this. So let me first.
start with this. Jamal Bowman, you are not fat because of Donald Trump or white people or
Republicans. You are fat because you eat poorly. And I'm going to give him this because he went right
to race. And this is a maha problem. It's not race. It's class. It is very difficult for people
to get good food. And one thing is true. Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans have higher rates of obesity.
and diabetes and all these chronic diseases.
And I contend that it is because our system is made good food expensive
and natural food, meat, grains, fruit, vegetables, more expensive.
We make it more difficult, first of all.
Farmers to have, you know, we basically prioritize or give deference in favor
too big industrial farms, you then put pesticides and all this stuff.
So he could get me on the Maha argument, and we can talk about this as a class issue,
and why is it so difficult for poor people to eat better,
and why do we give them really bad information, like Lucky Charms is better than meat and eggs?
He's got me there.
But this idea that he's, you know, he senses that white people want to call him the N-word,
and that's why he's fat, no.
And he is fat.
He needs to lose weight.
Well, and so you're very charitable.
I think you're right, but charitable about the maha movement and the cost of good food.
But Jamal Bowman's not poor.
So his problem is discipline.
Put down the donut.
Right.
Jamal.
It's not racism.
It's the donut.
Why you're fat.
Correct.
I think that also there's another point to be made as well, Rachel, that people like
Jabal Moman, and this is why I don't feel bad about making fun of him and saying these things
because he's actually doing more damage to the black community than he's actually doing
any kind of help.
like this kind of stuff is what is holding it holding any type of disparities or it's reinforcing
any type of disparities it's driving people further apart it's creating barriers to true equality
because you have vested people people with vested interest in getting rich off of division
and make no mistake there has been a long lineage of that when it comes to black leaders
not all but a lot who have literally been in the grievous industry and it puts themselves
out of business if you actually move forward with progress and jamaal
Bowman now finds himself in that same exact profession.
So he actually is part of, a very big part of the problem holding back or keeping us from
true equality when it comes to race.
100%.
By the way, let's also remind people that Jamal Bowman is the guy who said that he said there
was a, he pulled the fire alarm and during all that stuff and lied about it.
He's a former school teacher.
But let's get back to what you're saying.
I think it's really important.
So Donald Trump hired a Democrat to deal with our food and health problems.
And I believe the right thing is for people who have been, you know, are on food stamps
and are getting, you know, really bad food because they are dependent on the government
for a lot of their food subsistence, you know, grocery bills and all this sort of thing.
They are, have a friend in a Democrat hired by the Trump administration to come.
clean up snap to clean up our food to make sure there are more that you can use your your your uh your food
stamps at a farmer's market that's what uh that's what rfk junior wants to do but jamal bowman as you just
pointed out he's like no no no no no we can't get them talking about food we got to get them back
on we got to get them back on race we got to get them talking about that so you get my tech
I got all excited and my phone fell off.
But that's what's happening in America, and that's, you're right.
Jamal Bowman is part of the grievance, you know, group there that benefits from this,
that has a job because he's pushing race hoaxes, and he doesn't want the people in his constituency
to start talking about real stuff, about the real issues that are facing America,
which are class issues, not racist.
Gosh, I was afraid.
I was afraid you got attacked in your own.
office just now. Is your phone popped up like precariously on some stack of books? Yeah. And you got to
wave in your hands and knock down your camera. Okay. I want to ask you more about Democrats. I think
there's a fascinating discussion to have. But let's take a moment here because one of my very good
friends in the world, you're capable of doing this and we should do it together. I know you can't
see this played back. But if you've been watching the Fox News channel, Rachel, you've seen this.
I don't know what we're going to call it. But it is an advertisement.
for the Will Cain show.
One man, two hats.
Okay, let's watch what's currently airing.
And I'm getting a lot of messages on.
I see your messages.
Here we go.
All right, go ahead.
Will Cain, one guy, two hats, all heart.
Today, we keep Washington honest from the middle of America.
This is a place where we dig deeper.
I want to know the real story.
Watch and listen to the real deal.
the heart of the matter from the heart of America
watch the will cane show live from texas weekdays at four on the fox news channel
and listen anytime to will cane country
there it is okay i know you probably didn't have uh success in hearing or seeing that rachel
but again you may have seen it because it's airing but i'm getting a lot of messages
will all i can think of is all had no cattle all i can think of is what are you doing with your
feet on the desk what can you doing wearing dress shoes with a cowboy hat and i you know this i just
watched it back two days it's not that bad as it was in my head it's it's actually all right it's see
you know it's okay please please right rachel i couldn't i couldn't see it um i wish i had
i caught the tail end of it you're explaining it to me right now here's what i think you are
Texas. So if anyone's ever trying to be, you know, say that you're faking this, it's BS. I was on the
couch with you, right? I don't know how many years. And I know how much you love Texas. I know
you're Texas. You're so Texas that I've told you a thousand times you should run for governor
Texas at some point. You are Texas. Don't listen to the hatred well. Well, well, a couple things.
First, my brother the other day said, my nephew saw it on TV and said, oh, cringe. And then
And my brother said, well, you don't want to be fake cowboy now, Will.
And so, but to your point of government, hey, don't worry about it.
I'm about to live up to all your stereotypes, Rachel, or am I, I'm thinking about a country club, you know?
I don't even play golf.
Like, so now I'm actually going to be a country club like you accused me of being, while you have been dutifully paying your country club dues for years.
Yeah, well, I consider that part of my American dream story.
Oh, I didn't start off when Polo.
What is Finn? The minute I try to call Rachel out, the minute I call Rachel out on her
elitism and my comparative populism, she says, well, it's part of my American dream story.
It's such a good spin. We'll be right back on Will Kane Country.

It is time to take the quiz.
It's five questions in less than five minutes.
We ask people on the streets of New York City to play along.
Let's see how you do.
Take the quiz every day at the quiz.
Then come back here to see how you did.
Thank you for taking the quiz.
Welcome back to Will Kane Country.
All right, back to the Democrats here for a moment, Rachel.
So I'm fascinated by this.
Okay, I'm fascinated by Zoron Mamdani.
winning the Democrat nomination for mayor in New York.
Now, I don't, I'm out, I'm out, I don't care.
I live in Texas again.
I don't worry about New York quite as much.
But, man, I do think it's really fascinating about the future of the Democrat Party.
And I want you to hear me out here for a second.
On one hand, it's awful for them.
Chuck Schumer and Bill Clinton have come out and endorsed Mom Donnie.
And that suggests his socialism and far-left policies are going to become more.
mainstream on the left. And you could see people like AOC becoming their representative on a national
stage. And in my mind, there's a lot of conversations to take with that like, oh my God, it's
such a threat to our country. I actually think it's going to relegate them to permanent
minority status. I don't think the country goes that way and follows them. But I'm going to just
get off you just one of the perspective. This dude did walk the streets. He is a populist,
a populist socialist, but he did hear what people in New York had to say and some of them what
they wanted. And he's like the kid running for student council. You know, it says, hey, Coke machine
in the commons. He's like, oh, you want $8 chicken and rice? That's what I'm going to do as mayor.
So on one hand, I think we can dismiss him. On the other hand, you've got to take this guy seriously
in New York. Yeah, there's a lot going on here. So, um, so first of all, I've said from the beginning
when Donald Trump won, the only response left for the Democrats is socialist populism. You know,
I knew it was going to go in that direction because that's who AOC is.
And for whatever people say about her, she is authentic.
She believes this stuff.
She's not a faker.
She's like Bernie.
She believes it.
And that's the sense I get from this guy.
There's something very authentic about him.
He grasps the issue.
I don't think he has the answers to him.
I think he's going to make the city worse.
But he understands what the problems are.
And he's speaking to the people.
He's articulate.
He's handsome.
He's passionate.
So, yeah, I think this is the threat.
And I've said from the get-go, when AOC was elected and everyone was laughing, but she took the socialist mask off of the party because the party always was that.
They just were covering it up and acting like they were a little more mainstream.
But once she took that off and she became such a smart, savvy, street-smart social media person, this was going to have an impact.
And it is on the left.
I think it alienates a lot of people.
And I think the success of Donald Trump, who is a very unique figure, will be a phenomenal, you know, counter to that.
I don't think it's going to overcome the success that this administration is going to have at the end of four years.
And they'll have something to show for what they've done and what they believe.
But I think that this is powerful.
This is also about, it's a socialism story and it's also an immigration story.
So you can see lots of pockets in the United States.
whether it's Minneapolis or New York.
When you bring in a lot of people and they have different ideas
and they're not rooted in the traditional sort of constitutional
of America that you and I love and work or schooled in.
And when our schools are little Marxist indoctrination camps,
when they're just Democrat camps, socialist camp,
instead of schools, you are going to have a situation,
with immigration and also with the schools that you're just going to lose control of you can literally
just replace voters in the immigration sense. They're not getting assimilated. They don't understand
our Constitution. They don't understand what we believe in. And then in the schools, even the good
immigrants that come in and put their kids in these schools and who love America, we're losing
the kids because the unions own these schools and the unions have used our schools as a way
to get little activists.
So there's a lot going on there.
New York will change forever because of this guy if he wins.
I want to follow up on two of your angles.
One, you think he's good looking?
Like, you put him, I mean, if I counted on my hand
to people that you've complimented physically,
it would include Gavin Newsom.
Who else were you big on?
There's been a couple females that's been in there on numerous occasions.
To be fair, no, no.
you have not said that on a consistent basis on Fox and Friends over that I'm going to call BS on that
we put him we put Sean Duffy on when he had his his flight suit on he looked like he was top gone we've done
lumberjack things with Sean Duffy I mean oh you always bring up the lumberjacking man whatever
Sean did that day when he was dating you and you have said that it was a slow boil for you
on your first couple of dates with Sean but the minute he took you out to watch him lumberjacking
He clearly got you that day.
I mean, you have brought that up so many times.
I mean, you must be just doe-eyed looking at him when he does his tree climbing.
No, it's very sexy.
It's very dangerous.
It's a dangerous sport.
It's kind of like the bull, the bull riding of lumberjack sports.
It's the most dangerous of all the, all the, uh, the competitions.
And it's, it's very, um, it's very sexy.
So, yes, um, I told Sean, I told Sean, the New York Times.
is a good looking that he is a good looking guy he um is very uh you clearly smart clearly
comes across well and you know i think that's part of the that's part of the package that he's
bringing forward i want you two days when rachel leaves let's pull up a picture of mom donnie
see if we can get it and see if we would classify him as good looking um so the other angle is
more serious and that's the immigration story and um by the way i told rachel this the other day
time's hit piece on the Duffy family using their children as political flags just found the
most flattering picture of Sean I could ever think of.
I mean, it was during his real world days, I think, and I'm like, wow, I don't remember
him on the real world back in the day, but dang, I mean, we're talking movie star good looks
there for Duffy back in the real world.
Are you mocking him?
Not that he's not good looking now.
Huh?
Is that a mockery?
Like, I don't think his real world pictures were that amazing that they put up there.
Zero mockery.
Zero mockery.
You have to go look at the New York Times
picture they picked of him.
I didn't look at the New York Times.
You know, that story was written by an abortion reporter
who hates families, who hates kids.
What's remarkable is she went, well,
she's been trying to, she's been on the beat of this story
four months, like four or five months,
calling childhood friends, high school friends,
college friends, real world friends,
people in Congress, people in our building at Fox, she's been calling everywhere.
And all she could come up with is that we made pancakes on Fox and Friends.
And our kids looked uncomfortable on TV.
Well, yeah, a lot of people who aren't on TV a lot look uncomfortable on TV.
Wait, Rachel, I didn't read the piece.
So I only saw the headline.
And the implication was that you and Sean use your kids as political tools.
Was that the purpose of the piece?
I really honestly, and I'm not mocking, only saw the pictures.
And I was like, great picture, Sean.
The impetus of the piece.
And I believe that this is the beginning of a series that she's going to do on all of the members of the cabinet and administration, the top members and cabinet.
She's going to do this kind of profile on all of them.
And she's trying to relate.
She's went from, she's trying to cosplay as a family reporter, family policy reporter.
So Sean, when he came out as Transportation Secretary, one of the things,
that he put out, one of the policies he put out is that he's going to look at birth rates
in communities as he thinks about, as one of the factors that he thinks about as he thinks
about allocating money to different communities. And she said in the piece that her and other
Democrats and liberals and progressives find this to be dystopian and sort of handmaid's tail kind
of stuff. So she was trying to, look, there's a, there's an attack that's used against
Republicans. And we saw it first use with Mitt Romney. So it's weird. They use the attack weird.
They want to make you look weird. So they did that with Mitt Romney. You get a lot of kids. And that's
weird. And they're more men and they're weird. Then they tried that with J.D. Vance. And so they're
trying to do that on Sean as well. And I'm sure they're going to do it to all the other, you know,
members of the county. Oh, I can already imagine. But they've already done it. I can't imagine what
She was a reproductive health reporter for the Washington Post. And so she just, she really actually
doesn't like families. And she definitely doesn't like that, you know, we had a non-eco friendly number
of children. And so that's her beef. Okay. So finally, back to this mom, Donnie thing and the
immigration angle, which is, is interesting and important to revisit. You know, you talk about people that
come to this country that don't buy in, right, to whatever it is they need to buy into to
continue the preservation of the American experiment. And I was thinking about it when I was listening
to you talk. And, you know, I'm not robbing all immigrants. And now I'm actually speaking
about legal immigrants. I'm not talking about illegal immigrants. I'm talking about legal immigrants.
And I'm not robbing them all because a lot of people do actually understand more about the
American experiment than even people that are born here because they have to pass a civics test
and so forth. And a lot of people that are born here take all that stuff for granted.
still it requires us to vet people not just for their safety and their criminal record and
these types of things but the culture angle that you're bringing up is so important because
you know the famously the pull the pull of America for most people is a combination of the
loose concept of freedom and the prospect of economic gain and advantage to better yourself
And that's true, but that's not enough.
You also, and by the way, those also aren't universal anymore.
If you've got a guy like Mamdani, he's not buying into the better yourself argument.
He's not buying into the pull yourself up by the bootstraps, the risk-taking entrepreneur.
You know, when I lived in New York, I was surrounded by immigrants from Africa who were driving
taxis and ubers who are trying to find a better life for themselves.
They're not the socialist type, right?
So those kind of run counter to one another.
But you also have to buy in deeper, I think.
have to buy into the foundational elements of Western civilization, which does require acknowledgement
of, you know, Judeo-Christian values, true natural rights, the role of God, because it's actually
literally written into our founding documents, all of these things. You know, you have to
buy in to what America is, and it's not just get rich and do what you want living under the
banner of freedom. Yeah, so I am the daughter of Vinnie McGrant. My mom.
married my dad, who was in the military, and she wanted to become an American citizen.
She went through a process. And that process means something. It really is part of assimilation.
My mother is the most patriotic American you'll ever meet. And that process was part of it.
But we've let millions and millions of people come here. And Rachel, your mom's from Spain, right?
My mom's from Spain. My father's parents are immigrants from Mexico.
And so, your grandparents on your father's side are Mexican immigrants.
Yes.
My grandparents are Mexican immigrants.
My mother is, you know, I'm first generation on my mom's side.
So my mom married a military.
You know what's interesting?
Well, when my mother decided when I was in kindergarten,
she was going to become an American citizen,
first of all, she taught herself English.
She taught herself English because she knew that in America,
English was the language of opportunity.
And in the 70s, when they were experimenting with the education system, that's when they introduced bilingual education.
And they try to pull some of us out of classes.
My brother in particular, they tried to pull my brothers out of classes and into this bilingual thing.
And they found out, my mom found out that they weren't in their main class.
They were being pulled out for some bilingual thing.
And my mom went down with her thick Spanish accent and was like, listen, you want to talk to somebody with an accent?
You talk to me.
But my kids are in an air kid, and they're going to learn English.
and they're going to succeed in this country.
And that was how she felt about America.
She loves American traditions.
She loves Thanksgiving.
She loves all these things about America.
And she loves the land.
She loves the people.
And there's a reason why, because she had to sacrifice to become an American citizen.
She had to do something.
She had to learn the history.
She had to learn the language.
She had to do stuff to become one of us.
And I think that process has been totally broken down.
And in fact, now I guarantee that if you went to one, you know,
of these naturalization. I'm sure they talk crap about America. So that's just how these things go.
But our schools definitely do. Our schools want to tear down our traditions. Our schools want to,
you know, rewrite history and paint us in the worst light possible as Americans. And so this is
the kind of soup that so many people in New York City live in because those schools are completely
taken over by Marxists, by cultural Marxists, by people who don't like America. And so this is what
you get it. You get people who think socialism is just as good as any other form of government
and they prefer it. And you're going to see New York City, you think it's bad. I mean, you and I
have seen it deteriorate over the last 10 years. Oh, my God. If this guy gets elected, just wait.
There's going to be everybody. It'll be real bad. Good. It's going to leave.
No doubt. I'm actually, I actually, because I'm a, I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist.
I first go, oh my gosh, I'll think about all these businesses are going to move to Texas. We're about to
launch the Texas Stock Exchange to compete with the New York Stock Exchange, but then I, the realist part
of me is like, but I don't know if I want all those people to move to Texas. I love the economy
and the jobs, but I want them to not bring their New York voting and culture down here.
You've got to buy into where you go, the culture thing. And just real quick, on the buy-in,
reverse it. Just reverse it. If you or I moved to Spain, didn't learn Spanish. But even more
than that, demanded to be taught in English. But even more than that, didn't.
buy into the whole Spanish experiment, their culture, their history, how would we be treated
in that country? Like, what would we be received as? We'd be seen as ingratful. We'd be seen as,
um, you know, somebody that doesn't belong, not a true member of the society, all of these things,
right? Which, by the way, if we're being honest, I don't think I could do that in Spain anyway.
I could go over there. I could buy in. I could learn the language. I could do that. And they still
wouldn't regard me as Spanish. But, um, they would certainly demand more than what we're demanding.
Yeah. We had a system. We had a similar.
people. We turned it into a bad word. We said diversity is our strength. We said we don't like
the melting pot. We're going to do the salad bowl instead of the melting pot. And we did all
kinds of stuff to make race really important and values, ideas, and a land and a people and a
culture and a tradition that actually could unite us. We've allowed a really vocal small minority
to tear that apart. And I think that is what we, this is.
is the work moving forward. And I think Donald Trump is doing an amazing job of this, actually.
This whole, you know, as soon as he got elected, what did he do with him? He said,
we're going to celebrate 250 years of the United States of America. And he actually commanded
that every single department has to do something to celebrate 250. And so I'm intimately aware
of what my husband is doing in the Department of Transportation. And he is doing the return
to the great American road trip.
And the motto is to love America, you've got to see America.
And I think that's part of it.
I think we all should be, you know, a lot of people like to go abroad and go here, go there.
We're the most amazing country in the world.
Put your kids in a car, take away their phones, and go see America.
That's how you start to love America.
Love it.
Rachel Campos selfie, check her out on Fox Notetius.
It's every day.
She's on three days a week.
she's on every weekend on Fox and Friends weekend miss you thank you i miss you too well take
care rachel rachel campo stuffy hey the willish is chiming in suzanne we know suzanne
long time watcher of the show and the commercial gives me the bachelor vibes l-o l-l it does it does
it's like i'm about to get yeah i agree with that panel how many is it 12 ladies you're you've got to be
a bachelor guy two days how many if i was the bachelor how many girls do i get to pick from i think it's
like 30 i was almost on the bachelor by the way you're of course you were you were almost on the bachelor
yeah because we we we's chris hayes the old host who got canceled was a friend of my old show
and it was joked around that i should be put on that show and i i was like 25 patrick show yeah
damn patrick show yeah so he would come on and so because you were on the damn patrick show
you got on American Idol.
Yeah.
And.
No, because I'm talented.
Also, your buddy was on American Idol.
And you almost got on The Bachelor.
Yeah.
I was just kind of like the test puppy around there for different things.
Running you out for reality shows.
You know what?
Now you're married.
Yeah.
And now you're on Will Kane Country.
That's right.
Maybe we can get you on Temptation Island.
If my wife is listening, this is not happening.
We'll take you.
Your wife has to go too.
and we'll test your marriage
at Temptation Island
that will be incredible
good content
just for content
but yeah there's about like
I think there's like 30
30 women that come on The Bachelor
The Bachelor
Is that all people that want to be famous
so like if you gave people
All the shows are
Love Island
Do you believe in love
Do you all believe in like soulmates
and all that kind of thing.
Like, I don't.
No.
Gosh, my wife will probably hate me for saying that,
but I think she will.
Sleeping on the couch, bud.
No, I believe that marriage is,
like, soulmate makes it too Disney-fied.
Do you know what I mean?
And I think that leaves a lot of people out there
single for too long,
thinking that there's some perfect person for them
and not putting the work into great relationships.
because it's not perfect out of the gate or whatever.
You know what I'm saying?
You're spot on.
Soulmates about passion or lust and a lot of these things.
I think it's built upon those things.
The point I'm getting at is like, honestly, I think if you took most people and you said,
here's a pool of 30 people and you're going to spend some time with all of them,
there's somebody in there for you to build a great life together with.
Don't you think?
Probably true for all of us.
And that's not to say that what you don't have is special because what you have you built.
that's the thing that makes it special what you built together this life this marriage this
companionship this love right and and um like that's why you know honestly i think that's what
infidelity and in in in leaving and you know okay there's a lot of things to go into that your covenant
in front of god your covenant and your promise to one another but also because you understand
the difference between infatuation and something you built,
you don't destroy what you've built
because it doesn't feel right right now.
Do you see what I'm saying?
And I think that's an extension of the soulmate kind of view of this.
But where I started this little unplanned philosophical dive
into the nature of marriage is if all 30 of those people,
Bachelor, Bachelorette, men, women, are all just fame seekers
and want to be reality stars, well, then maybe there's not somebody.
in that pool of 30 for you to build a life with.
I just don't know.
And maybe they're all like that.
And so you've got a bad self-selection pool.
But numbers-wise, it's insane to think that that would be you'd find someone there.
I mean, it's cultural experience, it's lived experiences, it's a lot of different factors that make a soulmate.
And if you go into dating and trying to find someone thinking there's a soulmate like you were saying,
you're going to be let down every single time.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And, you know, we'd be lying if you didn't say, like, lust and physical attraction, all those things are part of it, right?
All the little endorphin firing things in the short term.
Of course.
And in the modern age where you're constantly bombarded with Instagram, these kind of things, there's always going to be something that catches your attention.
So the point is, like, what's that?
Just like the older generation, more like Gen X, there's just a lot of infidelity started with options.
You had more options.
You see a lot of different people online.
You see your old high school girlfriend on Facebook.
You're 45, 10 years married, 15 years married.
And you're like, hey, what's up?
And then that's how it starts.
Just options.
Well, didn't know we were going to go there.
Let's butch this up after about 10 minutes of bachelor talk.
Let's talk about the NBA draft in Cooper Flagg.

God.
I'm not going to touch it anymore.

this brings up too many questions.
What does?
Watch the episode?
This episode?
Most of the episodes.
This episode is good for relationships and marriage.
Will Cancun.
Hey, let's talk about ESPN.
So during a recent WNBA game,
I believe the announcers were Pam Ward and Rebecca Lobo,
and they're talking about disagreeing with a referee's call.
And then Rebecca Lobo says this.
So they disagree with you.
They do, and I disagree with them, and that's fine.
That's what makes America great, right, Pam Ward?
I should rephrase that.
Yes.
But yeah, I did think...
Yes, that's a better way to say.
Sorry about that.
Incredible.
Disagreeing with the refs call,
Rebecca Lobo says,
that's what makes America great,
followed by seven, eight seconds of silence.
I would love to see a camera shot
of what their faces look like
and what look Pam Ward gave Rebecca Lobo.
Rebecca Lobo then goes, I should probably rephrase that.
Yes, it says Pam Ward immediately.
Differences of opinion are great.
It's really something.
You can't say, what was the, in the world of the far left media, what was the sin?
What, what did she say?
She paired the words America and Great and make together.
She married those words together.
It was too close.
I bet they were so afraid of losing their jobs in that moment.
Like instantly, that was their first thought.
Like, we're gone.
Are you serious?
I bet you, I bet it's ESPN, of course, yeah.
I bet you, we're going to be fired right away.
There's going to be backlash from the audience, and we're done.
That the audience would hear that and hear Make America Great again.
And by the way, that's what makes America great.
is like, I don't know,
a cliched thing to say for decades, right?
That's what makes America great.
But that's too close to make America great again,
which would be a cardinal sin according to Pam Ward.
I bet people already think Rebecca Lobo is a Republican after that.
I already saw some comments online.
I swear to God, I saw people writing that all over the place.
Rebecca Lobo confirmed Republican.
I think and I'm serious the WNBA is going to commit suicide it's going to be a thing and you
could say well they know who their audience is they're going to play to their audience okay so
you're not going to expand your audience like what are you doing you're going after your biggest
superstar ever in Caitlin Clark and you're doing this
What a joke.
What a joke of a league.
No future.
No future for the WNBA if this is the path they pursue.
I mean it.
You don't have a future.
What a joke.
A lot of jokes last night during the NBA draft.
I think we have this.
Yes.
I can't remember what draft pick it was.
But Colin Murray Boyles out of South Carolina was drafted by the Toronto Raptors.
And ESPN got him.
I watched the draft, and I didn't see this.
It might have been on an alt broadcast,
because I was on ESPN, and then I found out later.
It's also on ABC.
But I didn't see this, and he wasn't too pleased, apparently,
when he was drafted by the Raptors.
The University of South Carolina.
Colin Murray Boyle.
Whoa.
He shakes his head and then says the F word.
but he says it like yeah I mean he says it like
disappointed looking right
like something
bad had happened now I don't know if something else happened in that moment
you know that he could have been referencing
I have a theory
but how excited could you be if you're
Raptor's management what's your theory today
I mean he's moving out of the country
he's going to Canada
who wants to go to Canada right now
we're in America that's what it was I think it might be
I mean that's a big change
I mean, I know it's the Raptors organization, they're not great, but you're still leaving the country, which is a hard thing to come to terms with.
Throughout the course of this segment, I heard it's a great city.
I've heard great things about Toronto.
I've never been to Canada.
I'd never been to Montreal.
I've never been to Calgary.
I've never been to Vancouver.
I've never been to Canada.
What am I missing?
If I need to go to one, what's the one they always say that's the most?
European city? Is that Montreal? Like you go there and you feel like you're in Europe?
Yes. Quebec? I thought it was Quebec, right? Quebec is mostly French speaking now.
They change some laws too. Montreal is
Metropolitan, almost French.
Hmm. I need to do that sometime. Take a trip to Canada. Throughout the course of this segment,
Tinfoil Pat has been broadcasting, as he often does, just electrically with a lot of great things to say.
But unfortunately, not only was he muted, but I could see on my
screen he couldn't hear there was a lot of like panamiming going on i don't even know what's going on now
he can't talk now i can't hear him right now so let's do what what did we miss what'd you have to say
hold on i don't i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna alert the marconi um award ceremony that's the
that's the oscars for radio i just want to clarify that i was not muted i don't know what's
happening and i don't even know what i was saying that was me we were talking about
you muted him
I may have
muted him
not for any particular reason
just there was a lapse of memory
that I had the theater down
the breaking point
we're in a fight
are we Israel and Iran
no sorry that's bad
he said it's a breaking point
if I had to nominate somebody
in the universe of Wilking country
to what was that movie falling down
was it
who was the star of falling down
do you remember that movie
you don't know it
tinfoil does I can tell
was it Michael Keaton
it's Michael Keaton yeah
Michael Douglas
or Michael Douglas
yeah yeah
Michael Douglas
he's a 9 to 5er
you know he's a normal guy
going by his job
and he just breaks
he breaks
and he's had it
that's like he said
it's a breaking point
and he goes postal
I should rewatch it
I wonder if it holds up
falling down
It holds up.
I watched a lot of it recently.
It's good.
I nominate you to fall down.
The breaking point is that.
Crash out, as the kids say.
As the kids say, crash out, go postal.
Ten foil pat.
Is everybody's excited about, as I am, about Cooper Flag and the NBA and Dallas?
I'm back, baby.
Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in.
I did have a hard time with the Luca tributes last night.
There was some reviews of the Dallas Maverick season.
It was hard to see Luca.
again, but we're pretty excited about Cooper Flag.
I genuinely, I genuinely mean this, this is the return.
I don't think just for Dallas, I think Cooper Flag is going to be gigantic for the NBA.
Now, listen, he doesn't have a gigantic personality off the court.
He does on the court, but off the court, he doesn't.
But I have to remind myself, and I was watching it with my son last night,
he's not even a year older than my son.
He's not 18.
Right?
Hey, isn't Cooper Flagg 17?
He'll turn 18 before the start of the NBA season?
I don't think so.
Is he 18?
He turns 19 in December.
He was born in the year I graduated high school.
Dadgum.
He is one year older than my son.
That is incredible.
So my point is on the big personality, cut him some slack.
Like, he turns 19, so he should be right now graduating from high school, like right now.
he should be graduated from high school
to be drafted number one since
some of my wife said
she worked with him recently and said
he just needs like he has one
look you know that's it
he just has one facial
expression blue steel right
but he's 18 like your personality
you know to be dynamic
think about who you were and I have teenage
boys so I see it like you're kind of like
your personality gets kind of smaller
when you're in your teen years you know you're
you have a personality when you're like 9 10
11, and then you go through puberty and your personality gets smaller and you get more self-conscious
and that kind of thing. And then you get the social confidence beginning again probably in your
early 20s, right? So I think you got to cut this kid some grace. And in that way, I think it's actually
great that he's a Dallas Maverick where they already have Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis
and that he's not going someplace like, you know, where he's going to be the star like he would
have if he gone to the Washington Wizards. Like he's going to be the face of
everything somewhere else. Here, he still will, but it won't be day in, day out every night.
The conversations will be driven by Kyrie and Anthony Davis, and then sometimes Cooper
Flagg, and that's perfect for an 18-year-old.
And on top of all that, he has to play against NBA players.
He has to be in the NBA at 18 years old. It's insane.
He is going to be the biggest story in the NBA, a la Clayland Clark in the WNBA.
I mean it. That's not just now homerism. I think it's going to be massive.
And in fact, we're going to talk about that more tomorrow on the Canaan Sports Edition of Will Kane Country.
