One, Bibles, Guns, Guns, Clingers, Deplorables, a new chapter offered to you by the President of the United States.
Supporters of Donald Trump are garbage.
Two, Kamala Harris requires that Joe Rogan come to her.
That'd be limited to one hour.
Who's demanding Joe Rogan or Kamala Harris?
We break it all down with my Fox and Friends Weekend co-host on an episode of Off the Rails, Pete Egg said.
Three, a couple of Yankees fans rip a ball out of Mookiee Bet's glove, and I love it.
It is the Will Kane show streaming live at Fox News.com on the Fox News,
YouTube channel and the Fox News Facebook page.

of Election Day, the race for the president of the United States.
And so we will be doing something more, doing something special here on the Wilcane show.
On Election Day, Tuesday, November 5th, I will be live from North Carolina, live at a diner for two hours, starting at 10 a.m.

Hopefully you will get your reminder, and you'll watch the Will Kane show live on YouTube.
What more, all next week we'll be doing extended shows at a minimum an hour, many episodes,
up to two hours, as we bring in numerous guests. You name it.
They're going to be here on the Wilcane show to break down minute by minute hour by hour
exactly first what we expect to happen, then what is happening, and then after it happens
what it means in the race for the president.
A radio show, a podcast, a digital show, does not have to be therapy, but having gone
back and forth on this and even soliciting some feedback from the Willisha, I just know that
If I don't have authenticity and I don't have honesty, then I have nothing.
Nothing between you and me.
So this isn't meant to be therapy.
This is meant to clear the air.
I was in a bad mood yesterday here on the Will Kane show.
And that's the truth.
Now, I was upset.
And I largely took it out on my guest from Outkick Bobby Barak.
And I regret that.
And I've apologized to Bobby.
And there was a lot of different factors that have gone into the way that show went down yesterday.
admittedly, and everybody on the show has talked about,
I didn't like the way the show was produced,
and you don't need to get into the nuts and bolts of that.
But that's just me being honest with you, truthfully.
I mean, I'm not proud of it,
but I do think that you should be behind the curtains.
I don't think there should be a version of will
behind the scenes and a version of will here in front of the camera,
in front of the microphone.
It should be the same will.
And I think that's the only way in 2024
that you get any credibility,
or give me any credibility,
that you get any honesty,
that you and I can have a relationship built upon any trust
because I do believe, as I started out in my segment yesterday,
you are inundated with insanity and the lack of, honestly,
an effort at even trust.
And I don't know where this is headed.
I really don't.
Like, I think we're deep into the world of not just propaganda,
but artificial intelligence.
So I'm going to talk about in just a few moments.
Elon Musk has promised something like,
I don't know how many robots, you know,
basically a robot for every household by 2040.
And as we just kind of think about this world shifting
and changing so rapidly
and our ability to make smart decisions,
right decisions, honest decisions,
all you need is some trust
and that's what I've got to have with you.
So, you know, I was upset about the way the show was produced
and we've talked about that.
I wasn't upset, by the way, with Bobby Burrack's analysis.
Some people thought that,
like he was laying out election scenarios
that included Kamala Harris' path to victory.
I wasn't upset about that.
I'm never upset about really what anybody has to say.
But there is another comment.
compounding factor two perhaps and they're not excuses their reasons man i got to do a better job of
getting sleep and i have the last two nights and i'm in a much better mood you know i stacked up three
nights of about four to five hours sleep and at my age you know i do think that matters i mean i know
it has an impact i just do it just is that's what happens when you're 49 and i quit zen again
on saturday and look i've done this twice now and i am moody i'm getting
there. I can see some light at the end of this tunnel. But it doesn't matter. I got to get over
in real time, even if I have some legitimate reasons to not to be happy with the way the show is
produced. So I got to get over in real time. I can't use freaking Zen as an excuse for a bad
mood. And it certainly wasn't deserved by Bobby Barak. So he has my apologies. You have my
apologies. I shouldn't be in a bad mood when I do this show. I have a dream job that I get to
wake to every day. So it doesn't happen often when it does. There's nothing I can do but be 100%
honest with you as i'm going to be as well today now story number one half of america
garbage that according to the sitting president of the united states in what has turned out to get
more media attention than two assassination attempts tony hinchcliff's joke at a rally at madison square
garden has absolutely driven the news cycle if you missed yesterday's show where we discussed
this, or Monday show where we discussed this, where young establishment, James and I went to the
rally in New York City at Madison Square Garden. Here was the joke by comedian Tony Hinchcliff.
You know, there's a lot going on. Like, I don't know if you guys know this, but there's literally
a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. Yeah. I think it's called
Puerto Rico. Okay. All right. Okay. We're getting there. Again, normally I don't follow the
national anthem everybody uh this isn't exactly a perfect comedy setup there's a really interesting
conversation to be had about why that joke didn't land comedically why it just wasn't that funny in fact
i'm going to get into that in just a moment with pete heggseth but that joke has been the trampoline
from which the mainstream media has launched a series of acrobatic tricks and turning that into a
Nazi rally and to ensure that the Puerto Rican vote is thoroughly insulted, offended, and will not
ever vote for Donald Trump. But there is no brakes on insanity. There are no guardrails,
and this is kind of what happens. Once you start heading down the, I'm so offended, I'm a victim,
like, you know, you might want to see if there's an e-break in the middle of that car, because you
could look up one day in the president of the United States. In response, calls half of America
garbage. Enjoy.
of Puerto Rico where I'm in my home state of Delaware, they're good, decent, honorable people.
The only garbage I see floating out there is just supporters is his demonization of seen as
unconscionable and it's un-American.
Now, here's what's fascinating about this.
There's several layers, several layers.
This happened immediately.
The view was the most egregious example of this.
Did you notice how when Joe Biden was speaking his demonization?
of Puerto Ricans. He's referring to Donald Trump, not Tony Hinchcliffe. They first personed this
entire episode into Donald Trump. And again, that was most blatantly done on the view. This is how far
we are from what I tried to begin the show with you today. Any even effort at the truth. Coming from
the White House, Donald Trump didn't make that joke. Even if he didn't like that joke. And even if you
have thin skin and you're offended, it wasn't honored by Donald Trump. And it's simply, I don't even want to
play the games of misinformation, disinformation, propaganda.
It's simply a lie to suggest his demonization of Puerto Ricans, Donald Trump.
But once you've ripped the e-break out of the middle of the console and thrown it out
the window going to 80 miles an hour down the highway, you don't know where you're going to
end up.
And Joe Biden ends up saying his supporters are garbage.
The only garbage I see is Donald Trump's supporters.
Now, let's have some fun with misinformation.
This was done in real time.
This is Orwellian 1984 Big Brother,
shifting the words in front of your eyes in real time.
The transcript, as reported by the White House,
suggested that Joe Biden had an apostrophe at the end of supporters.
So it wasn't supporters' supporters'
Plural. It was supporters possessive. Here, let me show you. If you're watching on YouTube or Facebook,
I'm going to give you the White House transcript of what Joe Biden had to say, what they put out.
This is straight out of 1984. We will read now together from the transcript.
And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico, a floating island of garbage.
Well, let me tell you something. I don't.
I don't know the Puerto Rican that, that I know, or a Puerto Rico, where I'm from, in my home
state of Delaware, they're good, decent, honorable people.
We should take a moment to say, what is going on?
WTF. How am I supposed to understand all those half sentences?
Is he talking about the people of Delaware, his home state, or is he talking about the people
of Puerto Rico?
Who exactly is he calling good, decent, honorable people?
I pick up in the transcript.
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.
Dash, dash, his, dash, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American.
It's totally contrary to everything we've done, everything we've been.
They took supporters, plural, and added an apostrophe.
Welcome to apostrophe gate.
By doing so, they're suggesting the Joe Biden,
saying the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters demonization of Latinos
is unconscionable. Of course, that sentence doesn't make any sense. If I turn it into the possessive
like it's garbage that his supporters are demonizing Latinos, then help me understand the end of
that sentence is unconscionable. It's the ending of one sentence, a stutter, and the beginning of a new
sentence. It does and accurately read as follows. The only garbage I see floating,
out there is his supporters. New sentence. His, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it's
un-American. Don't believe me? Don't like my characterization. Listen to it one more time with your ears
in the words of Joe Biden. Or Puerto Rico where I'm in my home state of Delaware, they're good,
decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His demonization
is an unconscionable, and it's un-American.
What do you hear?
Supporters apostrophe?
Supporters plural.
Everyone knows what they hear.
He called supporters of Donald Trump garbage.
Add it to the pantheon.
Deplorables.
Clingers to guns and bibles.
Nazis.
Fascists.
Are you sitting here telling me that after three and a half years of calling his supporters
fascists that somehow you would never it's totally beyond the pale of your character to call
his supporters garbage you believe his supporters are garbage and now because a comedian made a joke
about Puerto Rico by the way not Puerto Ricans about Puerto Rico you feel licensed to say that
half of America is garbage Alex Thompson from Axios
says, I asked the White House how they knew Biden only meant supporters possessive with the
apostrophe as they have it in the transcript. Did they talk to Biden to ask him what he meant?
The spokesperson asked to go off the record. We declined. They didn't comment further.
This was echoed on CNN, where, for example, you can see a lower third discussion with Governor Josh Shapiro,
where they characterize it as Biden.
Only garbage I see are Trump supporters demonizing Latinos.
It's not Trump supporters, they say Biden calls garbage,
but Trump supporters demonizing of Latinos.
This happened not just in CNN.
And from the White House transcript, this happened at the New York Times.
This happened at Axios, where they wrote it as far.
follows. They wrote, a comedian who appeared ahead of Trump at Madison Square Garden in New York
City on Sunday called the American Territory an island of garbage. Biden, in a Zoom call with the
organization Voto Latino, said the only garbage was the hatred of Trump supporters who said
such things about American citizens. That is a totally manufactured statement. There is no
reference whatsoever to the hatred of Trump supporters, not even in the official 1984.
or Orwellian propaganda transcript from the White House.
But the press immediately goes about changing the words in front of our eyes.
Joe Biden called half of America garbage.
The media inserted an apostrophe.
And then what about changing the American narrative in real time of the words you heard
quite clearly?
And guess what?
It's all too much for even Kamala Harris.
who stood for one of the first times in this campaign
at front of her airplane in front of the press
and made a statement and took questions.
Here's Kamala Harris.
President Biden said his comment last night about garbage.
Listen, I think that, first of all,
he clarified his comments,
but let me be clear.
I strongly disagree with any criticism
of people based on who they vote for.
You heard in my speech last night and continuously throughout my career.
I believe that the work that I do is about representing all the people, whether they support me or not.
And as President of the United States, I will be a president for all Americans, whether you vote for me or not.
That is my responsibility, and that's the kind of work that I've done my entire career, and I take it very seriously.
Have you spoken to some about his comments and his instructions?
He did call me last night, but this didn't come up.
He called me last night, but this didn't come up.
I'll be a president for all Americans,
even I presume the one she's called fascist and Nazis,
but she would never call, like her sitting president, garbage.
Let's break this down.
Plus, why won't Kamala Harris go on the Joe Rogan experience?
We're going to break that down with my Fox and Friends Weekend co-host, Pete Heggseth,
coming up on the Will Cain Show.
from the Fox News Podcasts Network.
Hey there, it's me, Kennedy.
Make sure to check out my podcast.
Kennedy saves the world.
It is five days a week, every week.
Download and listen at Fox Newspodcast.com or wherever you listen to your favorite podcast.
You have to come to me.
I'm not going to do the full three hours, just one hour.
And if you don't, how demanding of you.
Joe Rogan. It's the Will Kane Show streaming live at Fox News.com on the Fox News YouTube channel
on the Fox News Facebook page. Hit subscribe if you're listening on Terrestrial Radio at Spotify
or Apple. First comment today on the Will Kane show from you, the viewer and listener,
is finally a notification. There has been some concern that YouTube is not pushing out
notifications. If you subscribe to the Will Kane Show page, you'll get notifications of when
we go live. That could be important next week when we break our regularly scheduled programming
of noon eastern time and go extended at 10 a.m. on election day. But there is concern,
of course, are you getting those notifications from YouTube? That fits into a story that's
circulating right now. The New York Times is doing a story where Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro,
Benny Johnson, and approximately 30 conservative commentators on YouTube have gotten a note
from a New York Times reporter saying, hey, we've been working with me.
Media Matters. You guys know who Media Matters is, right? That's like the George Soros-funded
hugely far-left institution. It's only purpose, really, I'm serious just now. Only purpose is to
take down every form of right-wing media. For most of its existence, it's been focused on Fox News,
but they're now pivoting to the digital environment. And so they have partnered with the New York
Times to say all these conservative commentaries on YouTube have said things, just going to give
you an example, because Tucker and Shapiro have posted the texts. Stuff like,
like, oh man, they changed the election laws in Pennsylvania at the 11th hour in 2020.
They did.
Or I can't remember the other things, but it's like unassailable things that we should be discussing in the media as huge misrepresentations.
And therefore, why are you monetized on YouTube?
It's an all-out assault between Media Matters and the New York Times on anyone talking on this platform, YouTube, so that you can't make money, you can be shadow banned, and no one will ever hear your message.
complete domination of the media and then therefore your mind will still hit subscribe and let me know
if you're going to get the notification for the will cane show he's my co-host on fox and friends
weekend off the rails off the grid and off the wall it is pete heggseth on the will cane show
what's up man um what do you think about joe biden calling half of america garbage do you buy
the apostrophe it's like um this is like no your your knowledge of what's the sentence structures is
admirable impressive much better than my thank you than mine my kid could do better than you
i couldn't uh you're exactly what's the van o white show pat say jack what is that show pat say jack
is wheel of fortune yes wheel of fortune can i buy val do you buy the apostrophe p supporters
apostrophe possessive not not uh it is and in your your riff on
on the media and its willingness, I mean, we know,
take the example of 60 minutes in CBS.
Just take the example of the fully edited answer
that was inserted for her.
That is the lens through which we should see
every way they look at a unfairly taken statement
by Trump or a mis or a recharacterized statement
by Harris or Biden.
They're not just gonna paint it favorably.
They're gonna repaint it and re-twist it.
uh i i actually think that stuff has stopped working because of a lot of the alternate media's
ability to get the reality out through now that leads to the story you just talked about where
they're going to try to de-platform a lot of people but i think something like this is seen for
what it is by the vast majority of people i really think it's weird where we're sitting
when it comes to the media environment i think you're right it's like it's the cornered animal
syndrome there's going to be a lot of you know gnashing of teeth and in claws you know flailing
about here as the animal dies but it does feel a bit like an animal who is dying there's news today
by the way that i believe the um the newark i believe it's the newark star ledger something like that
it's a huge newspaper in new jersey by 2025 is going to cease print publication you're talking
about the newspaper is ceasing to becoming ceasing being a newspaper right whatever's going on at
Washington Post, I don't know. I don't know why Bezos says no endorsement. I don't know if it's
business. I don't know if it's conscience. I don't know what he's doing. But same thing with
CBS, as you point out and all these others. It's like 15 years ago, the only check on that
mechanism really would have been a Republican politician going, not fair, not fair. And then it
would have sounded partisan. Now you've got an alternate media environment that helps you highlight
and understand. So I just kind of wonder, like, it's changing so fast five years from now. I
think five is probably a good number. Like how much does CBS matter? You know what I mean?
I think we already know how much the Washington Post matters. New York Times matters still.
But I think that's a glacier. That's a melting glacier. I don't know five, ten years if they
matter. I don't know when CBS stops mattering, but it's going to. It's all going to stop mattering.
I don't know in its place what will matter. You know what I mean? Will Fox still be influential
and important will all these aggregate podcasts and so forth be primary news sources i don't know but i just
feel like what you're looking at is a dying animal with the media i agree i think fox is different
because fox has the best conservative opinion and then also journalists that work or that integrate into
the middle of that and therefore you end up getting a decent spectrum of perspectives and it is the check to
everybody else right so it's the one outlier we have yet to see a single example of reformation
of a newsroom. The only example of it that was successful was a revolution, and that was
Twitter, meaning I'm going to buy it because I'm a billionaire. I'm going to fire 90% of the people
that work there. And then I'll create a free speech platform. If he had tried to reform Twitter,
he'd still be fighting his way into the door. It's just like Bezos trying to reform the Washington
Post or what we always hear about CNN is going to bring in conservative commentators. We're going to
reform the way we do business.
entrenched interests of the left-wing ideological view are too strong.
Reformation doesn't work.
So you either have to implode it from within and rebrand, like Elon Musk did, or it's got
to be something from the outside.
I mean, take, for example, the free press by Barry Weiss.
I'm not saying it has the reach of the New York Times, but you and I know plenty of people
who rely and read that to say, this is an interesting take from people that we may not
necessarily always agree with, but they're willing to be mostly fair to, for the most part,
both sides and entertain viewpoints that are otherwise completely rejected. So in five years,
I think a lot of these dinosaurs will be gone. I think they'll be the ones that do it well,
like X, like Fox, like a few others, I think will be able to adapt to the media environment
because there's appetite for information. And then there'll just be a lot of new places that will,
new forums that are still going to have to do battle with the old platforms, like you pointed out,
like YouTube who, I mean, listen, they tried to get Rush Limbaugh off the air, right, on the fairness
doctrine. They tried to get Fox Media Matters. It's exactly what they do. And now, of course,
they're going to go at the YouTube's and the rumbles and the X's and the Facebooks to say,
you can talk all you want, you just can't reach your people. And that'll be the next, that already is
the fight. Pete Exeth is a good Donald Trump translator. I think we all understand that in many
instances you need to take Donald Trump seriously but not literally. This is a fascinating thing that
he is saying. I want you to translate the seriousness of what Donald Trump is saying. He is talking
about considering doing away with the income tax. Now, he doesn't get to just choose to do away
with the income tax, right? That would take an act of Congress. But the federal income tax hasn't
always been with us. It began in 1916. Today, it accounts for roughly 50% of total federal
revenues, Pete. Another 40% comes from the corporate tax and the payroll tax. He's been asked
this on a couple of occasions, and he said, yeah, you know, I think we should do away with it.
We could make up, in what he's suggesting, the revenue in tariffs. I don't know if that's
true, Pete. I don't know that you could make up. From what I read, by the way, it would take like a 70%
tariff on anything coming from overseas.
And your buddy, Brian Bringberg, pointed out to me from Fox Business this weekend,
but it's also like a sin tax.
Like when you put in a syntax, part of the point isn't just revenue generation is to do away
with the sin.
You know, so you put a tariff out there.
You raise revenue, but you also reduce imports.
So you won't get the revenue when we stop importing goods from wherever it may be, China.
So it's not a one-for-one most likely revenue replacement.
And that's fine. You can say I'd like to start the federal government of revenue if it went with a reduction in spending. Unfortunately, that's not what happens normally. We just rack up more debt. Do you think from a moral perspective, I mean, I love it. I would imagine most people listening. I love the idea. No more personal income tax. What do you think? Don't take him literally, take him seriously, or don't take him seriously. Don't take it at all when it comes the income tax.
So I love it. I love the idea of it. I love the way you just laid it out, I agree with.
Trump is very good. He's a negotiator, right? And so he's very good at throwing something out
that is further than he thinks he'll get to, but is an opening statement that places a marker
that moves the goalposts on what the art of the possible is. So I think he's willing to say this
because in a perfect world, if he could wave a magic wand, sure, he'd get rid of the income tax.
and he's a true believer in tariffs.
He wants to get us out of,
he wants to get us to the pre-Nafta world,
the pre-globalization world,
where we were proud of the things that we made here.
We were skeptical of things that went elsewhere,
and we created incentives
to our customers, our company stayed and didn't go.
That genie got out of the bottle.
He wants to bring it back in.
The idea of tariffs or taxing American companies
less than folks overseas resonates with voters,
makes a lot of sense.
What does it do to the balance sheet?
I don't know.
Do I think he'll get rid of this?
16th Amendment and abolish the income tax, unfortunately, probably not. But I do think flatter
and lower is better. And as our buddy Brenberg pointed out, any tax on productivity, productivity
is problematic. And in this case, I liken it to, you know, and I'm here outside of Nashville.
How does Nashville pay for most of what the city does? Taxes on hotels and liquor and others
from bachelorette parties. It's the visitors that pay for the residents.
here for the most part. It's a here. It's on Las Vegas and others do it. I kind of liken that to
what the United States would attempt to do under Trump. It's like, you want to do business here,
you love our customers. They're rich. They pay. You pay to have access here. And then otherwise,
it helps our companies catch up in a way that they've fallen behind. So I take them seriously on it.
I just, I don't see the votes to do anything other than maybe lower it and flatten it a little bit.
You take him seriously, but not literally, because you see it.
as an opening marker in a negotiation.
I'm curious how popular that it would be.
We've had various guys.
Remember Herman Kane 999?
You've had, I can't remember which politician it was.
It said the income tax, your income tax returns
should be able to fit on a postcard.
We've had various guys look at some pretty,
I don't want to call them radical,
but reformative positions when it comes to the income tax.
I just wonder how popular.
So I saw this as well this morning.
It's good to always be reminded of something like this,
but the top 50% of income earners pay 98% of the federal revenue and income taxes.
I'm curious how popular a huge reformation of income tax would be because then I also wonder
about voter turnout.
Like, okay, if the bottom 50% of earners don't pay much or at all into income tax,
and they're not going to care about that, right?
But I also wonder what the vote turnout is among those people as well.
so i don't know i'm just kind of curious like if you took a really radical approach to income tax
is that a winner on a national stage i don't know i mean you have to be able to push through
the demagoguery and usually the demagoguery would be next level rich rich fee poor especially
with a billionaire in the white house um you you'd have to spend a lot of time tilling the ground
and laying the ground markers for why this benefits the vast majority of people and not just
the people that are going from 39.5% to 17. And when when because that's that's all that would
be talked about is the upper bracket going down to 17 and getting a massive rich people tax cut.
I think you'd have to you'd have to combine it with, you know, everything Trump is talking about
right now. No tax on tips. You know, no taxing American made goods. No tax. You know, there's a bunch of
smaller issues. I can't remember them all right now.
He's rolled out that if you said, okay, yeah, we're doing it up here, but we're doing it over
here too. And then we're going to, here are the ways in which we're going to fund the federal
government. Problem is it's growing so in such an unabated manner.
They play the game. They play the stats game. Oh, the rich are getting an X percentage tax
cut. You're only getting a Y percentage of tax cut, even though we're all going to the same
flat rate. It's lower than what you're paying now. It's, no matter how you do it,
they are going to paint it as this huge boondoggle for the rich.
All right.
So Pete has always told me that he wants to do stand-up comedy.
I think it's an admirable thing to want to do because it's like saying, it's not like saying
I want to jump off a cliff.
It's like saying I would like to do a triple lindy off a 60-foot cliff.
Like, it's not just saying I want to do something.
I want to do it good.
But you have told me that you're okay with bombing.
Like you even want to feel that, right?
You want to experience the bomb.
Isn't that what you told me?
Yeah. I want to feel like you and I give speeches. I know what it feels like to give a speech now. I can read a room. I can decide length, tone, you know, political, apolitical. Comedy's a whole other jam. And you might think you go in. Anyway, you know I pushed real hard to do a comedy bit on our New Year's special both years. And I was denied both years because I was going to try my debut live on New Year's Eve. And they said that's a bad idea. But yeah, it
It's interesting.
When you talk to comedians, you realize the timing, the delivery, the understanding
is an art that a first timer's not going to have.
Do you have, this is a quick side note as I get into this, do you think you have the art
of the speech mastered?
I sat side stage at MSG, and I watched different people come up for that rally with
different speaking styles.
I'm going to give you two examples.
There are some that just don't work.
I'm not going to point that out.
But I'm going to tell you two different speaking styles, both of which worked.
Vivek Ramoswamy and Tucker Carlson.
Two totally different approaches to 20,000 people in a stadium.
Vivek, very adept at the rhythm of a big speech.
Punchline, audience call back.
They really, the audience feels the moment and they call back.
And it's interactive.
Tucker, very conversational, very almost feels like it's off the cuff
as opposed to rehearsed and perfected.
It's really fascinating to watch that.
And it just, as I was sitting there thinking,
Dana White, very loud,
almost as though he had to fill up Madison Square Garden
without the microphone.
There's a lot of temptations.
And the size of the speech really changes how you do it.
I just, I don't have, I do not have that mastered.
I have not given enough speeches to think and feel confident.
Do you think you do?
Like, you know the difference between a ballroom
for the Alabama Farmers Association
in Madison Square Garden?
I have nothing mastered.
I don't think they're at all.
But I do think it's, I do think it's familiarity.
It's reps, man.
You get in front of the Alabama Growers Association,
and then you get in front of a Tea Party group,
and then you get in front of a pro-life group,
and you start to, here's why Vivek and Tucker work.
Because Vivek and Tucker are Vivek.
They're just who they are in that element,
and they're comfortable, and they've also done it a cajillion time.
So if Vivek took two years off from speaking and then suddenly he was on the stage at MSG,
he wouldn't be as sharp as he is right now because he's in his groove, he's in his element.
And Tucker is just Tucker, but they're not trying to be anything that they aren't.
And I've seen people do callbacks who don't get any standing ovation.
And then I've seen people who give a speech like Tucker and no one claps really the whole time
and they laugh a little bit.
And at the end, it's an uproar to your feet.
So it's just getting a sense of how the audience engages,
and it wouldn't surprise me that both of them nailed it.
All right, I bring that up because I want to talk about the art of stand-up,
the art of telling a joke.
This is obviously on the heels of Tony Hinchcliff's joke about Puerto Rico at Madison Square Garden.
Comedian Anthony Jezzelnick was with Theo Vaughn,
and he was talking, I don't know if this is after what happened in Madison Square Garden or not,
but he was talking about the idea of people upset at a,
joke that you make. And while
comedy is art and part of
art is getting away with it. Listen to Anthony
Jesolnik. And all these comics now
it's like almost the point is to get in trouble.
It's like why are you giving me shit? I'm
a comic. I'm allowed to say whatever I want.
That's wrong as far as I'm concerned.
Art.
Oh, wait, say it again so I don't listen.
People think like, oh, as a comic, your job
is to get in trouble. But they don't want to get
yelled at. It's like it's okay to make people
mad, but they don't want any push back.
And I think that's wrong. As a comedian,
you want to make people laugh.
Andy, this is a quote attributed to Andy Warhol that I love.
It's just art is getting away with it.
You know, if you put out a special and everyone's pissed, like you didn't get away with it.
You know, you need to make everyone laugh.
Otherwise, you're just a troll.
Okay.
So I think it's really interesting.
What are your thoughts?
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
I mean, I think I didn't see everything that preceded the joke that was made about Puerto Rico.
But in my sense, I don't know.
And maybe you were there at that time.
I don't know if you were already there.
No, it was a non sequitur.
It was just a punch for punching sake to a crowd that didn't have any special animus
or reason to be thinking about or looking down on Puerto Rico.
So it was sort of like, oh, okay, what next?
Watch how, you know, Jimmy Failure or, you know, Joe Mackey,
when they're warming up the Patriot Award or something.
They know their crowd and they play to the crowd.
and get away with what they can get away with understanding that crowd.
And I just think that didn't happen.
You're right, though.
I see all the stuff on Instagram.
There's a lot of, like, I'm going to say the craziest shit that I can because you're going to get offended.
And that's your problem.
And I, fine, fine, that's okay.
That's your prerogative.
You have the First Amendment.
And sometimes it makes me laugh.
But the people that do it with a sleight of hand are the most interesting, for sure.
Yes.
That's what I find fascinating.
Okay, so, here are my thoughts about, like, this idea of getting away with it.
I've never met Jekyllnick, and I met Hinchcliffe for the first time this weekend at the rally.
And, um, super nice guy, really liked him.
I didn't think it was the best joke.
I don't care about the offended part.
I'm talking about just, like, the comedic part.
I didn't think it was the most funny joke.
But, okay, so Tony does, like, roasts.
He does insult comedy, right?
And he's great if you go and look at the roast of Tom Brady.
he's great like he roasts everybody but it's weird like in that environment it feels like he's getting
away with it and what he's doing is every single person he's insulting is enjoying the moment and
they're laughing at it and the jokes are vicious from tom brady to gronk to jeff ross to nicky glazer
they're vicious but whether or not it's the twinkle in his eye or the speed with which he's
delivering the jokes or the fact that he's face to face with him he's getting away with it i don't
don't think jesselnick would endorse the heckler's veto see that's what it sounds like he's saying if
people are mad then you didn't get away with him well that's not true i don't think it's what he's saying
i would want to clarify with him if he were here because we're deep into that age we probably even come
out the other side of it that was like what 20 to 22 that was what everybody was doing i'm offended
you should be canceled and it gave this heckler's veto to everybody i don't think that's what he's
saying. I think what he's saying is you've got to get the subject of your joke to almost laugh
along with you. And because of the setting and the way that joke was delivered, nothing asked
Puerto Ricans to laugh at themselves or their island. Do you know what I'm saying? And so therefore,
it was wasn't artistic. It did come off as troll. Yeah, it was just a junk ball. It was just junk.
And we can, they can, we can, we can laugh at that in certain contexts. In other contexts, that joke might have
been funny to a certain group, if it had been precursor, but it, like, it was just out of,
out of nowhere. And it's not a heckler's veto. I think comedians should be able to say exactly
what they want. But you also deal with the consequences if there are groups of people that
decide, well, you're just not that funny because what you're doing is trying to, you know,
rile people up for rile people's up. And I, so I'm not endorsing, shutting comedians down at all.
It's just the people that do it the best are the ones that make us all laugh, especially when
the jokes are on me.
especially when the joke is on me.
That's perfect.
And I think that's what he's getting at
about when it becomes art.
All right, finally,
let's talk about Kamala Harris, Pete, on Joe Rogan.
The situation is that
Kamala Harris wants Joe Rogan
to submit to some of these conditions.
Joe Rogan is posted about it.
Come to her.
I'll put these up on the screen
so everybody can see it.
but um the joe rogan experience is almost always in uh in austin and it is almost always three hours long
well they want joe rogan to come to her and they want to put a time limit roughly at one hour
rogan tweeted for the record the harris campaign has not passed on doing the podcast they offered a
date for tuesday but i would have had to travel to her and they only wanted to do an hour i strongly feel
that the best way to do it is in the studio in Austin.
My sincere wish is to just have a nice conversation
and get to know her as a human being.
I really hope we can make it happen.
Your thoughts, Pete.
There's a reason they call it an experience
and not a podcast.
It is roller coaster.
It is me and it weaves in its own way
in a way that only Rogan sort of rolls with
and is unique.
Listen, I've done podcasts that,
and I know you have too that could go three and a half hours and my and at at the big up up front I say hey
I only got about 90 minutes if we can do that and then sometimes it goes 90 sometimes it goes
two hours and 15 because you just you're just having a great conversation so I understand the
scheduling thing but if you're Kamala Harris and you really want to reach young men because that's
where you're bleeding you're you're never going to get more eyeballs than you are going to get on
Joe Rogan because everyone's going to want to tune in and hear how she does inside that experience
with Joe, who even when he was interviewing Trump was pretty fair to her saying, hey, I want her to
come. I'm not trying to bash her. I'm not trying to, you know, he wasn't making Puerto Rican jokes
about her. He was being pretty straightforward to say, I'd still like her to come on the program.
You do the Joe Rogan experience if you want to reach those guys. If you want reasons to say no,
you create parameters that you know
Joe Rogan's going to say no to.
And that's probably smart for her.
She doesn't want to do it.
He doesn't, yeah, she doesn't want to do it.
It's probably smart for it because she definitely doesn't want to do it.
Right.
It's just like, hey, man, you want to meet me at like 10 over at, you know, the steakhouse,
let's have a drink, have a steak, you know, before we go to bed and do the show tomorrow morning.
Yeah, yeah.
Can we make it 11?
And I might be 15 minutes late, but right around 11.
you're like, no, I can't because I got to go to bed.
And I just keep putting these parameters on it without saying no,
that make it impossible for you to do it.
That's what she's doing.
See, the Joe Rogan experience is three hours and it is Austin.
Trump went and did the Joe Rogan experience, just like every other guest.
It's not a traveling show, okay?
It's not a one-hour show.
That's not what the Joe Rogan experience is.
She wants to use, I mean, I'm going to say this, but it's not really what she wants.
But she wants to give the appearance that she wants to use Joe Rogan to public
the Kamala Harris experience.
Like, you come to me, we do an hour.
Like, that's not the Joe Rogan experience.
It's not what I do.
That's not why I'm the number one podcaster in the world.
That is not what I do.
But the truth is, I don't even, she just,
it's not even that she wants Joe to do the Kamala experience.
She doesn't want to do it, period.
So she's going to set some parameters that ensure that it never happens.
And it won't.
And we'll see if that works.
But in the reality is, is they have a terrible candidate that can't do these things,
is not authentic.
is the opposite of skillful like Vivek or Tucker Carlson
and has to be curated and three hours with Joe Rogan
would be a disaster.
What, what, digging into any level,
that's why it'd be so great, but it's never going to happen.
Any level of detail on any of these things would be,
can you imagine him being like, well, so tell me about McDonald's.
Like, you know, you work there, like where, or just anything
in a conversational way would, it's her nightmare.
So it will not happen.
I mean, it was never going to.
Two things on this.
You may know this guy.
I met him once.
Stuart Stevens.
Didn't he run the campaign
from Mitt Romney for president?
He's one of these one-time Republicans.
He's a Lincoln.
Stevens.
What was the first name?
Stuart.
Yes.
Yes, he did.
He, like Mike Murphy,
these like campaign managers
for maybe McCain,
maybe Romney,
all these guys.
They went Lincoln Project
and then that became indistinguishable
from the left.
I mean, it really is.
I just grabbed this today
because I thought it was fascinating, and so representative,
he tweeted out,
demanding a vice president come to you
in the final week of a campaign sort of says it all.
A reliable side product of steroid abuse
is feeling self-importance and omnipotence.
So there's two things I want to take away
from this tweet from Stuart Stevens.
First of all, a reliable side product of steroid.
This is supposed to represent
the respectable wing of the Republican Party.
Like this ad hominem attack against Joe Rogan
for not going to Kamala Harris is supposed to represent
the good, respectable old Mitt Romney, John McCain,
wing of the Republican Party.
I know you went like full lunacy with Lincoln Project,
but you're not even a shell of your former self,
or you've dropped the facade of your former self.
But the other one is this Orwellian twisting of words,
demanding a VP come to you.
Because the reason I point that out, Pete, is that's kind of taken off.
I invite you to come to my house.
you say no you come to my house and i'm like no the party's at my house and now i'm demanding that
you come here it's an invitation except or decline i'm not demanding you do anything it's like
do you want to come on the biggest podcast in the world i don't know unless you can come to me
that's not really how we do it and now you are demanding she bend to the wills of your omnipotence
and feelings of self-importance that's exactly right um we've i've we've all done podcasts i didn't
going places I don't want to go to, but you're selling a book or you're talking about
something. And it's their house. And you respect it as their house and you treat it that way.
And you're definitely a guest. She is going to, I just, I look forward to talking to you on Monday
on a special edition of the Will Kane show because I don't know how much it. It'll be very
interesting to see what the world looks like on Monday, Will, like how everybody's feeling on Monday
because this churn's not going to matter anymore. She's not going to do it. She's not going to do
any more tough interviews, she's hiding behind a billion dollars in paid media and a characterization
of Trump. Both sides have made their closing argument. I guess that's because early voting
is over. Can you help me with this? Why does early voting stop? Why do you early vote until
like Wednesday and then early voting stops? And then there's like five days of no early voting and then
you vote on election day? Does anybody ever answer that? Is that like, I've never asked. Is it like, you know,
we go out for warm-ups pre-game,
then we leave the field
and they kind of tidy the field
and get it up ready
and you come out for the game.
They need a minute to tidy it up
and get their ducks in a row?
I don't know.
I don't.
I don't understand.
But I did early vote.
Voting is regard.
It is, just take a minute.
We don't have to break it down.
Isn't it ridiculous how complicated it is in America?
And it's not.
Like, we just need a reminder.
It's not that complicated in the rest of the world.
They pull it off.
They get results within like 12.
hours of the polls closing and they move on they've got an election and we everybody's already lining up
the lawyers right now both sides lining up the lawyers the question is though will do you want a federal
system or do you want a state-based system and i love the state-based system that we have which
leads to inherent discrepancies and a little bit of chaos but i'd rather choose locally like i walked
into my ballot box in tennessee and it tennessee's rated the number one most secure elections in america
Like, the lady stopped me at the door and said, do you have an ID?
And before I could even go in the building.
And then she said, are you from Sumner County?
Like, because there's multiple, like, yep, yep, she's like, okay, you can go through.
And then they checked my ID two times carefully and printed a thing out.
And I signed it and then I gave it in.
And then I, like, it was easy.
My state does it in a good way.
Other states do it terribly.
I'd rather have that than D.C. deciding.
And that would maybe make it easier, but I don't like that.
I wanted to ask you this.
This is just real quick on this note.
Where did this come from?
An Associated Press, N-O-R-C, Center for Public Affairs Research poll released on October 28th.
41% of registered voters are extremely or very concerned about post-election political violence.
Another 35% said they are somewhat concerned about an outbreak of unrest after election day.
Adding up to 76% of people are somewhat or more concerned about political violence after election day.
that tracks with guys and gal last night there was a book launch party for a wonderful woman from our church at a local coffee shop and i was talking to the guy and universally there that was their fear text i'm getting for people are the fear of what happens next could where does it go not that they not of them wanted to go that way they're just concerned that it could and that's a that is a reflection of a breakdown and trust of a system because we can't even just count the votes and trust each other in the process totally
agree. All right, he'll be with us next week. He'll also be with me this weekend on Saturday for
Fox and Friends weekend. It's Pete Hegg-Seth. I'll see you again next time. Thanks, man.
Hey, brother. All right, there he goes. Pete Hegg-Seth. All right, coming up, the Supreme Court
of the United States sides with the state of Virginia on purging the voter rolls of undocumented
non-citizens. Big news today. We'll share that with you. Plus, of course, a Yankee fan
ripped a baseball out of Mookie Betts glove.
And I personally think it was awesome.

Virginia Governor Glenn Yonkin put into a place a program 90 days outside of an election that reconciles the DMV records with the voter registration polls.
They are as such.
If someone went to the DMV to renew a driver's license or get a driver's license and said they were not a citizen or couldn't prove they were a citizen,
then they would on a day-to-day basis be compared to the voter registration polls and booted off.
Now, they're supposed to be, but according to federal law, a 90-day quiet period from any systemic changes to voter registration.
Virginia and Young can say, not systemic.
It's on an individualized basis.
All we've done is change it from monthly reporting to day-to-day reporting on self-identified non-citizens.
The DOJ says, no, you've broken the federal quiet period of 90 days.
Virginia says, well, we're trying to ensure we're not breaking the federal non-citizens can't vote law.
A district federal judge stopped the Virginia purge of non-citizens from the voter rolls.
It went directly to the Supreme Court, where today the Supreme Court sided with, Virginia.
Non-citizens will not remain, approximately 1,600 of them, on the voting rolls.
That's all interesting, and that's important.
The better, more important question, the deeper thematic question, is why in every state,
from Georgia to Virginia, is the DOJ trying to do everything they can to ensure that the voter registration,
roles have non-citizens on the rolls? Why are they putting everything in the way of ensuring
that we don't have non-citizens on the voting rolls? That's a question that maybe we should all
ponder. Over on YouTube, Ann Breitrick says to me, hey, Will, take up knitting. It'll help with
withdrawal pains talking about the moodiness of giving up nicotine. Nitting? And I love how much
you listen to the show and comment, but I ain't knitting.
Frank Quarters says,
I would pay more taxes in exchange
for never hearing another word out of the VP Cackler.
Red Sundog says, radical plans are not what you bring up
the week before election.
He's spitballing and seeing what sticks.
That always has been his approach to policy.
That's talking about Donald Trump,
talking about the income tax right now.
um here's load 714 says i'm wearing a garbage bag next week to vote talking about uh jo
biden calling half of america garbage and then james mott on youtube says it's one thing for a comedian
to tell a stupid joke at a political event it's quite another for a sitting president of the united
states to call over half of america garbage i 100% agree james mott all right
Last night was game four of the World Series.
Yankees Dodgers.
Yankees won, going away.
What was the final score, fellas?
I know that you guys are both big Yankees fans.
114.
Was that the final?
114.
114 Yankees?
That came alive.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
You're super excited about this, right?
Like, we've already had a pre-show.
I'm going to look so smart in a couple days.
Or extremely dumb.
doing messing with a man? What are you doing messing with a man who is withdrawing from nicotine
already lashed out yesterday arguing with me about whether or not game four of a seven game series
matters, especially when you're down three oh. There's not a worse game. There's not like a
least, a less consequential game. There's not two days. He's like, yeah, this is huge. This is a
huge. It's the least, this is the least. I'm a diehard Yankee fan. I went to Mavs Celtics. I went to
Mavs Celtics, Mavs down 3-0 to the Seltz, right? Mavs win game four. It's awesome.
And maybe I convinced myself just a little bit, oh, maybe this is the beginning of a comeback,
but I knew, I knew. Not only did I know we were going to lose, odds are we're going to lose
game five. And that's, I mean, the Dodgers have four chances to win one game.
Last night, how about this? Last night would, we'll totally be forgotten but for one thing.
Go ahead, James. Well, the one thing would be the fan and he really just
reinvigorated the crowd and the team
and showed them what a fighting spirit
or maybe Volpe's grand slam did that
I mean, look, Garrett Cole is going to
throw eight shutout innings tonight, put it back to L.A.
And once a series is three to two
knock on wood. Once a series is three to two
anything can happen. Well, it's three to two
it's like, okay, Dodgers advantage, but
it could go out of the way and it gets exciting
analysis.
You know, the 2004.
I'll actually give you, I'll
get, yeah, okay, everyone loves that 2004.
I'll give you Garrett Cole.
I'll give you that game.
I'll give you, you might get it to three, too.
But this thing's over.
This thing is over.
I'm just doing that for the clip that you can run when you come back to one four or three.
This thing is over.
Freezing cold takes.
One of us.
No, last night's game will only be remembered for this.
Watch this on your screen.
This is Yankee home run would be over the fence, or it's actually a foul ball, over the fence.
Mookie Betz goes and retrieves it over.
the fence. It's an out, right?
But two Yankees
fans, one in particular,
grab Mookiee Betts' glove
as it's over and
pry it open. How does all this happen,
by the way, while he's in the air?
That fan's a stud.
Here we go. Here's the close-up.
How does he do this?
Grab. No, because he's not a year anymore.
Pin.
He's standing now. He grabs his wrist.
That's so messed up.
Okay. The guy in the Yankee
in the home jersey,
I don't like the wrist grab there on the right.
Okay, why's this guy wearing an Evo shield sliding mitt?
Did you see that?
I know.
I don't like that.
Let's go to the game.
Bring your sliding mitt.
I love it.
I love these guys.
Ripping it out.
I love these guys.
Isn't this guy, did we get this guy's name?
He's been banned for life from Yankee Stadium.
He's an Italian guy, probably from Staten Island.
You know, this, I love him.
Yeah, I ripped it right out of his glove.
I mean, this guy lives in infamy.
He's an ultimate fan.
And it didn't hurt the game.
It didn't hurt the game.
He's still out.
I got it.
Betts gets the out.
What's up to it is?
Austin Kappa Bianco, season ticket holder also.
Yeah.
And his friend John Peter.
Yeah.
Kappa Bianco.
Yeah, Kappa Bianco.
Johnny Kaps.
Johnny Kaps.
Yeah, I ripped it out of his glove.
about it.
Forget about it.
I think it's ridiculous.
I love this guy. Let's, it's like, why?
It's just, he's grabbing his wrist.
I mean, look, I'm not.
He taps it.
I don't know.
It's just, I saw it.
The first reaction was, holy crap, that's not good.
And my cousin Mark was like, that's actually hilarious.
So I didn't think.
What's the guy?
What's the guy at Wrigley?
They did a 30 for 30 on him.
Steve Bartman.
The kid.
Bartman did it to his team.
This guy's doing.
it to the visiting team. That was
different. That's what makes.
It was in the stands. That's why
let's get Capo Bianco
on. I bet we could book him.
I would love to talk. Is it Austin
Capo Bianco? Johnny.
Austin? I think it's Johnny Capo
Bianco. Johnny Capps.
I hope so. It would be such a bummer if it's Austin.
It's Austin. Yeah.
That's a bummer.
It should be Frankie.
Johnny. John Carlo.
John Carlo Capabianco.
Only refer to him by his last
man yeah
Austin what is his dad
Italian and his mom's from like
is it
Vermont his mom is some
you know
liberal lady from Bethesda right

Well, there we're never going.
I love it. Let's book him.
Capo Bionco.
We're just going to call him Johnny.
Johnny Austin, Capo
