Right here on Wilcane Country, Dildogate in the WNBA. It is Will Kane Country streaming live at Fox News.com on the Fox News YouTube channel and the Fox News Facebook page, terrestrial radio across this great United States of America, but always on demand by subscribing at Apple or on Spotify. If you're watching on YouTube or Facebook or at Fox News.com, you might just see that we have welcomed in for his second appearance. appearance, my co-host for the day, the one and only Saint, the Doberman. A lot of clapping, gets the ears up, doesn't know quite what to do. Saint came into the workplace environment today, a little more on edge. He wasn't too sure about Ed. Ed sitting in the control room today got a little bit of a growl, a little bit of a wariness.

We're going to try to get out of the workplace today. without any workers' comp claims because of saying. But before we start, we have to say this. Two days, I know that we understand on a story that we have been in and all over from the very beginning, we have a bit of breaking news. A third, Dildo has been thrown on to the court of the WNBA.

For the latest, we go now to our correspondent on WNBA and adult marital items, tinfoil pat. That's right, Will. A third sex toy has been thrown onto the court. This time, striking a player. This lime green device. Oh, no. Hit a player. It's dangerous, I told you.

Somebody's going to get hurt. Finally, finally somebody was slapped across the leg by, a love one at a WNBA game. Oh my goodness. Who was it? Was anyone injured? What happened, Tinfoil? Maybe just their pride was injured.

But this was Sophie Cunningham, who has spoken out against adult marital AIDS on the court. So it's ironic. Not Sophie Cunningham. It is. I saw that Sophie Cunningham posted that her plea to not throw. dildo's onto the court did not age well. She seems to have a bit of a sense of humor about the entire thing, but I think the most important detail has yet to be reported.

Before we move on to the news of the day, let's wrap up this report, who has owned this story like David Spunt has owned Russia Gate, or Nate Foy has owned the brawl in Cincinnati, or Peter Ducey owns the beat at the White House, tinfoil Pat, what color was the adult marital item? It was his professionalism right there. It was the same color as the other two, Will.

Lime green. Wow. What's no one who won any money? What? Lime green. Lime green. Wow. I think.

Somewhere right now. Might be an inside job. Adults. Yeah, that's your conspiracy, of course. That's why you're tinfoil pat. The fact that all three have been lime green lead you to believe that's an inside job designed to draw attention to the WNBA. My thoughts are that there is a website or an adult store out there currently where the manager is

yelling more lime green. We're running out of lime green. The mystery of the lime green dildo continue to be reported in the NBA right here on Will Cain Country. But we have a lot to get to today. And I want to get started with story number one. Former President Barack Obama has weighed in on the Texas redistricting case. He has posted onto X that we can't lose focus on what matters. Right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year's midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy. Former President Barack Obama talking about the efforts to redistrict Texas to send five new Republican congressmen to the U.S. House of Representatives.

Currently, approximately 51 Texas Democrats have fled to the likes of Illinois and New York to avoid awarding a quorum to the Texas legislature. Out of 150 representatives, 100 have to be present in order to establish a vote. With more than 50 Democrats fleeing the state, the legislature cannot vote on the new map drawn to redistrict the House of Representatives. Now, Governor Greg Abbott joined me yesterday on the Will Cane show, and he promised to arrest those Democrats that are no-shows, but still in the state of Texas, and look into bribery charges to go get those that are currently out of state.

in New York or Illinois. Here is Greg Abbott. As we're talking right now, Texas Department of Public Safety Officers are on the streets looking for those Democrat House members to arrest them and to take them to the Texas Capitol and hold them there until a quorum is reached. There you go. So you could have an incredible image of Democrats being arrested, transported, and delivered to the Texas House of Representatives. They're not quite sure how many are actually in the state of Texas. subject to arrest by Texas DPS, but it might just be enough to establish a quorum, get them back over the 100 mark, and take the vote on the newly drawn map. Now, this, of course, has drawn the ire of national Democrats. Kathy Hokel in New York, Gavin Newsom in California have promised

to go nuclear and redistrict their own maps. But the odd thing about that is, while the Texas map would favor Republicans, it certainly wouldn't be the first and wouldn't be. the worst. We've looked into some of the other states across the nation to see exactly how unrepresentative their congressionally drawn districts are for their voting populace in the state. And as President Donald Trump has pointed out, I think it's pretty fascinating that almost 40% of people from Massachusetts voted for President Donald Trump in the election. How many representatives in the United States Congress from Massachusetts are Republican? Now, one would think if you had a representative republic, something like 40% of your elected representatives

would be Republican. But the answer is zero. Zero Massachusetts Republican in the United States Senate. That is drawing congressional lines. That is gerrymandering. That is redistricting for a political party's advantage. And it's true that Texas would have fewer Democrat representatives than the voting populace reflected in Texas. But that's no different than, say, California. We're 40% of California voters are Republican, but something like only, what is it, 25% of California's elected representatives of the United States Congress are Republican. This is what they're doing. And it's rich coming from President Barack Obama, who's been happy to play these political games throughout his career.

but when it is done, in turn, in kind. When it's not, thou shalt turn the other cheek, then it is absolutely a threat to our democracy. We'll await the next couple of days of whether or not Greg Abbott will be arresting Democrats to return them to Austin to vote on redistricting. Meanwhile, there is new drama around Sidney Sweeney. Sidney Sweeney, who has drawn the ire of the left for her American Eagle advertisement for jeans, in which they say Sidney Sweeney has good genes. She goes on in that ad to talk about G-E-N-E-S genes before saying, my jeans are blue, has an update.

Apparently, Sidney posting on social media her dog. Does anybody remember the name of her dog? I think it's like Sugar Bear or something like that. I believe it's Sully Bear. Sully bear right there. He's a German Shepherd. If you're watching on YouTube or Facebook, you can see there's a good-looking dog.

He's a little bit small for a German Shepherd, so I don't know if he's a... It's a baby. A puppy. That's a puppy picture. He's a baby. He is good-looking, by the way. Beautiful. I love the black and him instead of the tan.

Yep. I like it when a German Shepherd has a lot of black in his fur pattern, balancing out the tan. You know what I mean? In a way, he almost looks like a Doberman. I don't make it racist to it. As you're always so racist. Everything, man, you always see things through race. It's crazy.

You've got to talk to your wife about this. Sam, get her on. No, he almost kind of looks like Saint, like a long-haired version of Saint. You know what I mean? He's got that same color pattern. Well, people on social media have started to post. So here's some examples of what's going on. Oscar Lopez on Instagram says, is that a German, all-cap, Shepard?

We see what you did there. Noritech says, with a German, in quotation marks, Shepard, they're not even hiding it anymore. That's my favorite. They're not even hiding it anymore. black white black white says nothing to see here just a quote perfect woman white skin blonde hair blue eyes with initials SS oh boy with the initials SS it's a nice stuff I mean her parents were even in on it started from the beginning um rolling rolling rolling around with her German shepherd puppy nope nothing to see here LMFAO I mean there's more you can see there's a meme

of what's his name the actor from Inglorious Bastards Yeah, playing the Nazi SS Hunter And then Hocus Pocus says Swastika Sweeney Clever, but wrong Clout Chaser Radical says

It just came out that you're indeed A registered Republican with 3Ks Not in the least surprising Zangelinea Pizano says Please, why aren't you canceled? Just amazing okay these are just random posters on the internet i mean it's what do we make of this like

just okay there are insane people out there ridiculous i don't know that it's news that somebody on instagram said something absurd but it did get us thinking here at wilking country there are dogs that code right and code left there are dogs that code right and code left there are dogs that seem to have a political persuasion, right? And people have posted memes about this. They've posted different things. And I always find them funny when they do. And so we thought we'd run through some of these. Is your dog a fascist? Or is your dog a communist? Is your dog Republican? Or is your dog a Democrat? And two days, you have some examples for us that you can share some dogs and we'll decide which way does this dog lean it'll get some music going we'll call

this red dog blue dog i think is a good name for this uh segment so all right we'll start with we'll start with this dog french bulldog it's small do you know what french bulldog looks like i think of course pretty common so french bulldog is it a red dog or blue dog liberal or conservative dog french french french bulldog is without a doubt 100% a blue dog. That is a Democrat dog. Nothing wrong with it. I like a Frenchie, right? They're cute, but let's just be honest, that is a Democrat dog. That I would say correct. And I put this game together and there are answers and right answers. And yes, that is a liberal dog. French bulldog. According to AI. Where do the answers come from? AI? My own brain. What are you talking about? I have

no idea what you mean. It's definitely not AI. Okay. You're the judge. Got it. Go ahead. All right, number two, we'll go with the Sydney Sweeney dog, German Shepherd. Where does that land, the German Shepherd? Without a doubt, without giving any credibility to those crazy internet commenters, that is a right-leaning dog. That is a right-leaning dog. That is a hardcore alt-right Republican dog. There's no doubt. It's not their fault.

They're just puppies, but, you know, there are. No. Thanks to be said. People have pointed out, the German Shepherd is the perfect right dog. Like, they're super smart. I think they're generally, they're number two on the intelligence rankings for dogs. Usually the Australian Shepherd or the Blue Healer is number one. But those are true working dogs.

They've got a job. And in some ways, they make bad pets. The German Shepherd is incredibly smart, incredibly obedient, often a police dog, right? Or at least in the old days, the Doberman and the German Shepherd were police dogs. They've been replaced largely by Belgian Malinwas. but they're still German Shepherds. Like, I went to the Army. I went to the Fort Hood, which is now Fort Cavazos,

a canine unit for the Army, and they had, I'd say, 80% Belgian Malinwas, 20% German Shepherds. And so German Shepherds are the sheriff's dog, the police dog, the military dog. And they're tough, but they're not the dog that you find in the illegal fighting ring. They more like to exert their toughness

in the formal law enforcement capacity, without a doubt on the right, German Shepherd. AI gave us some descriptions of why they are liberal or conservative. For German Shepherd, it says, respects authority, protects the House, thinks ATF needs more funding. That's right. He does. It's good. All right, what else you have?

All right, we got a Shiba Inu. What do you think is Shiba Inu? I don't even. I don't know what that is. Okay. What is a Shiba Eno? Is that the Doge Dog? I think it is.

Yeah, Shiba Enu is the Doge dog. Yep. Oh. Oh, yeah. It doesn't listen to anyone. The Doge thing. Hanks out on Reddit. Oh, then he's a left dog.

Yeah. Yeah, he's a liberal dog. Right? Yeah. I would say a liberal dog. Yeah. Probably make six figures off of Doge coin. I say he's more libertarian, but, you know, that leans.

Yeah, libertarian maybe. Yeah. I guess so. All right. Number four, we're going with, this is a controversial one. Golden Retriever. What do you think of Golden Retriever? I think of right.

I think right. I definitely think right. Like, he's all-American, you know, he's patriotic. I think that those that want to think they're, that Golden Retrievers are the liberal dog, I don't know why they even go there. because the people on the left that want the cuddly, like, fun dog, they don't go that big usually. They go small dogs, I feel like more.

Yeah. So I think he's on the right. What do you think, tinfoil? I think he's like right in the middle. I think he's a moderate. I think he's like an every man dog. Retrievers are moderates. Hmm.

I don't think that they have any sort of gold persuasion. He's center right. Yeah. Oh, that could be fair. But they're goofy and like, happy, whatever, man. Yeah. They don't care who the owner is. They just want to have fun.

I love everybody. Yeah. Give a little beer. Okay. So what's the ruling? So the ruling is conservative. Flag on the porch. Taylor is wagging.

Loves America and unseasoned chicken. Yeah. Yeah. Basically, they called him white. Yeah. Yes. All right. For a rude to wicket on that.

All right. Next, we're going with pit bull. What do you think a pit bull is? Which way does that? That's a good one. What is a pit bull? Oh, I'm going to go. Okay. I'm going to go pit bull is on the left. And I'm going to do it by the ownership group of pit bulls. Black voters are 90% Democrat, right? Or at least were before Donald Trump. I forget where the last election came in. But 90% Democrat. And outside of owners who are black, the biggest like popularity, I think it's the most popular. I think it's the most popular. with young single white women, right, who think they want to rescue this dog from the pound and literally bite off more than they can chew.

So I think the pit bull is on the left. Patrick, what do you think? I 100% agree with that. The pit bull is liberal. Absolutely. It says the owner definitely posts infographics on Instagram stories. All right. We'll do one more.

What else you got? You got any others? I do one more. We'll do one that's sitting in that studio right now, the Doberman Pinscher. What do you think the Doberman Pinscher is? Which is what Saint is. He's got one of my feet right now. Yeah.

Is it a conservative dog? Does he feel conservative? Like on one hand, people are going to be like the same things they did with the German Shepherd. He's a German dog. He looks like he's always in formal attire, the Doberman. You know, he looks like he's wearing. a tuxedo, or one could say, a military uniform of a certain persuasion,

um, he is definitely attack and protection oriented. Mm-hmm. He just knocked my ball off of my set. No. Um, that's my water polo ball with all my signatures from my teammates. He's a little bit ball focused. Please don't do that. Big ball on set.

Um, but he's not, he's not a German Shepherd. I don't think he's quite, he's got a little more bad boy image to him than the authoritarian respecting German Shepherd. You know what I mean? But I'm still going to say right. He leans to the right. Yep, that's what it says. Conservative. Intimidating presence

sleeps with one eye open and thinks cancel culture is real. Why cancel culture? I don't know. Because he's going to get canceled just for being a Doberman. By the way, it's super sweet. They don't have that reputation anymore. They're family dogs for everyone except for Ed.

He came in. He's like, this is the one guy. I'm not so sure. I don't know about you, buddy. There we go. Does your dog lean left or right? All right, coming up, the politics center at The Daily Signals, Bradley Devlin. We're going to talk about, it appears, Howard Stern may not be renewed at Sirius X-Im.

There's big plans here, Two A Days and Tinfoil, to dress Saint up in blue jeans. That's the current...

Don't do that to him. Apparently, Ellie says that's going on. Do you know what's going on on on the internet? There's dogs doing the Sydney-Sweeney ad. Have you seen people doing this? Yes. Don't do that to him. She really, they say don't let her do that to him.

Don't. I agree. I mean, he has dignity, masculinity. And she's got little hot pants, by the way, too. They're bringing those here. They're like Daisy Dukes, thanks, Ed. Take a look at this. You think I should let these go on to my dog?

Absolutely not. I'm putting the stop to that right now. Right? No. Right? Look at this. No. I can't put that on my Doberman. You got to bring real jeans in.

How about, let's say a shoe on them. eat them, and that's fine. I totally agree. You can't put this on my dog. It's not right. It's not right. All right. Joining us now is the politics editor for the Daily Signal, Bradley, Devlin. What's up, Bradley? How's it going, guys? First off, kudos on this segment. Well, you guys are crushing it over here. Everything you guys are doing, it's turned into gold.

But if this ever doesn't work out, you guys have a safe home at Animal Planet, I'm sure, because that crushed. Thank you. It came up during the commercial break. Hey, what's the chihuahua? And I think we've decided, the chihuahua is for sure on the left. That is a little dog. The chihuahua. Yeah. But I heard you have a dog that you have some opinions on, Bradley. I rescued Siberian huskies growing up. That was my dog. That was my dog. And any working dog is a right-wing dog. Every other dog that was bred for palaces and courts. I mean, these are welfare dogs. These are welfare queen dog version, and they are fundamentally on the left. That's where they belong. Chihuahuas, corgis, all of that stuff. And if anyone's like, no, my retriever, I swear it's a left winger. It's like, at best, it's Joe Manchin, right?

You know, it's still going hunting. So your lab is on the right. So if you were bred for a palace, you're a welfare left dog. I love this. I got to think more about. So that's like all your And you know what A poodle

A poodle would for sure be on the right People don't I mean poodles are hunting dogs Wicked smart hunting dogs And I think two days Look that up what is a poodle Because I'm going Counter to what everybody might think

A poodle is on the right A lab is definitely on the right Now the toy poodle The small one The small one left The big one right It says poodle's only drinks filtered water and his hair appointments twice a month. That doesn't make it on the left, though.

You could be a well-kept right-winger. Yeah, exactly. You've got that too narrow. There are women in the cities like Dallas who have made sure every week that they look good, who are very right-wing. So I think that's the poodle. You made me think of another dog really quick. I can't. Oh, by the way, the standard poodle, the big poodle that you're talking about, Riley, that's not even a dog. That is a person in a dog costume. My wife is convinced of it. They're not real dogs. If you're around them, they're creepy because you can tell inside there's actually a human being inside that dog costume. Oh, they're like wicked smart too. You don't want to mess with one of those things. Those things, you'll think you're the alpha. You think you got everything under control. That standard poodle is absolutely fleecing you for all your worth.

All right, Bradley Devlin, the politics editor at the Daily Signal, is here with this on Will Kane Country. Okay, this is an incredible story out of Washington, D.C. The man known as Big Balls, one of the doge workers hired by Elon Musk to look into the federal government, find inefficiencies. He was famously featured in a Jesse Waters interview. He became somewhat infamous, was the victim of, it's not necessarily like a Cincinnati-style brawl. It was, I think, a carjacking of someone else that he tried to intervene with. And then he got beat by a bunch of, they said, 14 to 15 year olds. Donald Trump posted the following with that picture, if you're watching us today, of big balls, really bloody, shirtless.

Trump said, crime in Washington, D.C. is totally out of control. Local, quote, youths and gang members. Some only 14, 15, and 16 years old are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent citizens at the same time, knowing that they will be almost immediately released. They are not afraid of law enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it's going to happen now. The law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these minors as adults and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14. And then he goes on to say that he's looking at potentially federalizing the D.C. police, Bradley. Yeah, and what's so interesting is this has been an issue for Trump for years, especially during the first Trump administration, you saw this massive increase in D.C. crime, a lot of discontent, obviously, and that obviously carried over into the Biden years. And throughout Trump's time out of power, he was suggesting, hey, maybe D.C. Home Rule isn't such a great idea. Maybe what the founders meant in Article 1, Section 8, clause 17 of the

the Constitution that D.C. ought to be independent from all these other state governments meant that Congress and the federal government should retain control over it. And when Congress abdicated its power over D.C. in the 70s, what have we seen since then? We've seen crime, disorder, filth, all of this stuff just wreak havoc on this city. And it's a real shame because we wouldn't be faced with these carjackings if Congress were running D.C. Perfect example of this is actually the carjacking law that the D.C. City Council tried to pass over mural Bowser's veto that caused Congress to step in a few years ago and say, no, no, no, we're not putting up with this type of legislation. What if Congress did that with every single piece of what the D.C. government is doing right now, the terrible prosecutions, all of the DEI programs, et cetera, et cetera. Congress has the ability, in short, to doge, D.C. in a real and serious way, and they should do it.

They should go forward with that type of effort. I'm totally in support of the president saying enough is enough here. Well, take a look at this. I was just pulling this up on my iPad here to share with you in the audience on my monitor here in studio. This is homicide rates in 2023. Look at this. Washington, D.C. United States. 41 homicides per 100,000 people.

Now compare that to other countries for a moment that are much more knowledgeably suffering from bad crime, meaning we all know about. Lima, Peru, 7 per 100,000. Remember, DC 41. Havana, Cuba, 4 per 100,000. Nairobi, Kenya, 5.

Brasilia, Brazil, 13. Lagos, Nigeria, 15. D.C. is 41. Mexico City, eight per 100,000. Again, D.C. is 41. That is incredible state for Washington, D.C.

Yeah, it will. And the kind of nefarious thing that the left will do in seeing these statistics is they'll go, because of our gun laws, because we have the Second Amendment. Well, anyone who just,

like, just use your eyes. Walk around where you live, especially if you live in an urban area like DC or New York, does the crime stop only at violent crime used with guns, with firearms? Or is it a pervasive crime problem? Do we have looting? Do we have stealing? Do we have shoplifting, right?

This is not a single issue. It's an entire menu. It's an entire suite of criminal problems that we have in America's biggest cities. and the health of your society is going to be inculcated or defined by the health of your cities. And for very good reason, right? Because often these places are hubs of community and culture and also touch points for other places in the world. As much as we like to talk about revitalizing the Heartland America and all of the disastrous effects of globalization that have kind of destroyed these local communities, that's so important. But at the same time, we can't just leave Los Angeles to.

to Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass. We can't just leave San Francisco to the whims of all of these politicians or to New York City to Mamdami because they're so vital to maintaining the health overall of the nation. And it's addressing crime issues all the way from homicide all the way down to shoplifting when you're a little teenager. I mean, D.C. worse than Lagos, Nigeria. That really puts the problem into perspective. You know, I think, I'm just sitting to listening to you, and I'm just thinking over the long term, I hear you, we've got to save these cities. They're iconic important American cities. I think that over the long term, what you're going to see, and I don't know, everybody's predicted this, but like cities like San Francisco and New York decline.

And when I said decline in population, certainly in quality of life, and that will drive the decline in population, first business, then population. That's what we're seeing potentially already happening in New York with the potential for Zoran Mamdani. Like I can tell you, I live in a city that's booming, Bradley, and it is booming in ways that it is stealing from New York. Dallas, Texas is soon to be the home of 5,000 workers from Goldman Sachs. It'll be their biggest employment base in America. New York will still be the quote-unquote headquarters, but 5,000 in Dallas. There is, all rumors, but not yet full reports are, another major bank following Goldman to Dallas. they're launching a Texas Stocks Exchange. And I think that's how it starts. People move out

and then your city death spirals. And maybe that when we look up 50 years from now, you're not talking about New York and D.C. and San Francisco is iconic American cities. You're talking about, I don't know, Dallas and maybe Nashville. The problem is we're fighting to keep those cities sane, right? Because they already have Democrat leaders in Nashville and Dallas and places like that. Not Dallas. He's a Republican mayor. But that's going to be the real fight. Can you keep the new America cities? Right. And I just saw something come across my feed today where it says every year 100,000 people move from California to Texas. And luckily all the transplants that I know that are going to states, you know, I'm from Southern California originally, all the transplants

that I know heading over to Dallas or to Nashville, living outside the Nashville area in Franklin, et cetera. They're all like staunch conservatives. They got out because the business environment became so toxic in California, and they remembered what it was like in the 80s, 70s, 60s, etc. When it was not nearly as hostile to business. But of course, with those good conservative transplants, you're going to be getting a lot of people, frankly, who haven't thought that deeply about their ideas or who are going after they've graduated university and they're just looking for economic opportunity. And the economic opportunity, the high-tech jobs aren't in San Francisco or L.A. anymore. They're in places like Provo,

and they're in places like Dallas. And so they'll move there, and they'll bring their zany, weird ideas with them. And that is a real danger. And, you know, maybe if you move to Boulder, Colorado, or someplace in Vermont that's rural, your community's insulated enough where your kind of left-wing, cookie politics doesn't destroy the city instantaneously. But when you're in places like Dallas, Texas, that is like on the front lines of some of the most serious problems facing America. It too has a homelessness problem, right? It just, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's the fact. Austin has a homelessness problem. They have an immigration problem, right? They've got a lot of illegal immigrants, just like those cities in Southern California. And so when you import

all of these, uh, California voters, if they don't have a serious awakening or serious change, all of those social dynamics are kind of primed to attack the city and to attack the community if you don't have prudent political voters and prudent political leadership. Not just prudent. I think visionary. Really strong leadership. Really strong. Donald Trump level, which that's hard to match, but level style leadership you have to find at the city and state levels.

So Howard Stern, the reports are that Sirius X-M is looking at not continuing with their contract starting next year, I believe, in May of 2026 with Howard Stern. He makes $100 million a year and has for about 20 years at Sirius X-Im. Obviously, in the 1980s and 1990s, Howard was massive on FM radio, FM and AM radio. and left in the early 2000s to go to Sirius XM. He got a massive contract. And I think any honest broker would tell you, Howard Stern is a genre-breaking iconoclast.

That's probably the right word. Legend in radio. I went through my phase of listening to Howard. Mine was later than most people. I probably hit Howard in the 2000s. when I started listening to him, but it's a real question with Sirius XM, is that worth $100 million anymore? It's hard to know exactly what his listenership is because Sirius XM doesn't put those numbers out very readily, but there's no doubt that Howard has changed over the years. He's 70-something

years old. He's mainstream. He's not radical. He's not edgy. He's the guy that interviews Kamala and Hillary. He's scared of COVID. He's super woke. He's everything. And now it might be the end for Howard Stern. Yeah, or Howard Stern tries to go independent, and that's going to be a real test. To see this person who made his career, as you said, being this unorthodox character,

you never knew what he was going to say when he got to that microphone. And that's what made Rush so amazing, too. That's what made Andrew Breitbart so amazing too in his multimedia ventures, is these people were unpredictable, but they were always thoughtful, logical,

exciting. That's what kept you hooked onto these programs. And Howard, I mean, in the last few years, like, I have to go back and listen to the old Howard Stern bits and the old Howard Stern segments to really get a taste of what made this guy an icon. When I was growing up, it was like, eh, I don't really know if I care to listen to this person anymore. I'm going to go listen to some of these new players in the space. Of course, Rush was still around, so you'd listen to Rush. But, you know, Dan Bongino is getting his start. You know, all of these different guys in sports radio too, where you had Colin Coward, who's been in the business for a long time, but has really kind of surge with Fox as well. You kind of go and listen to those unorthodox,

heterodox voices. Oh, I never know what they're going to say about Aaron Rogers or or Peyton Manning or whomever the topic of DeJure might be, whether that's politics or sports. You go there. Howard, for my generation, just hasn't had any of that influence. And a part of it is the failing business model of Sirius XM Radio. I used to have Sirius XM. XM radio in my car. I know my whole family did. And we just don't anymore. Why? Well, because we can get cell reception anywhere. And so we can always choose to listen to what podcasts or what music to play on Spotify, SoundCloud, wherever you get your music. And it's just not as valuable of an asset for sure. And so if Howard does decide to go independent, I think, one, that would be

a super interesting case study to see if a legacy figure can successfully, you know, pull off that transition after they've kind of been mainstreamed and and beaten down. But two, you know, if there is still demand for the type of content he produces, which is this like insider Hollywood content, because I think at the same time we're experiencing this weird death of celebrity. Like no one cares what the elite thinking. That's a good point. That's a good point. So Howard built his career on two main components, both of which have been neutered. one was he was edgy and honestly if we're being real he was doing like quasi-pornographic real out there FCC limited talk in the 1980s and 90s and he was always in trouble and that

made him popular you know and he'd say outlandish things and do outlandish things that's not as much of his bit anymore um he still does some of that i never found Howard that funny that really wasn't my main draw. I think he had a cast of characters around him that made it fun, more so than funny. But the second thing is he was a great interviewer, and he really was. And I would offer he's probably the best, he's among the best that's ever done it, to be honest. Like when he was doing those interviews, and they were celebrity interviews largely, to be,

that type of content is everywhere. That's what most podcasts are. They're long-form interviews now. I will say no one is doing it as well as Howard did. Rogan is not a, I love Rogan. He's not as good of an interviewer as Howard Stern. Dach Shepherd is super popular. My wife listens to Dax Shepherd.

Certainly not as good of an interviewer as Howard Stern. He had, in my mind, two great qualities. He's insanely curious, and he has conversational OCD, which I'd like to think I have some of both of those things, which means he doesn't forget trains of thoughts while indulging the parentheticals and the side trips. So he hears something and he'll follow up on it, but he doesn't forget where he was on the road and comes back to it. So you never have this feeling when you're listening, oh, he left that fruit on the tree. He picks everything off and everybody opened up with him.

But you make a really interesting point. As good as an interviewer as he is, celebrity culture itself has totally died. Like, no one cares anymore. I don't, I did go listen to Brad Pitt on Dak Shepard's podcast because you so rarely hear from Brad Pitt. but I rarely care about hearing from a celebrity anymore, Bradley. Yeah, and I listen to the DAC Brad Pitt episode too, and they have this interesting friendship that goes back several years, and that type of credibility is what you need

if you're a Dak Shepherd who's not nearly as good as Howard. But by the way, that was a bad, in my mind, that was a bad interview. I was like, oh, my God, follow up. Oh, my God, be curious. I'm going to be real. I don't have anything personal against him. It wasn't a good interview of Brad Pitt. Yeah, that's interesting. I'll have to go back and re-listen to it to figure out where he leaves the fruit on the tree.

But you know from being in this business, like making sure you pick all the fruit is so difficult, especially when you don't have a lot of rapport with someone. And Howard just had that way of like totally disarming and then taking everything that you could. Like I think some of the best segments he ever did were like with Dave Grohl. And Dave Grohl is telling you an inside story about what happened with Nirvana or like Fu Fighters or something like that. Like, those were always really solid. And you had someone in the chair like Dave Grohl, who's like, interesting, heterodox. Well, you bring in these celebrities now, and they are so PR trained.

They're so media trained. They're so TikTok brain. Like, they don't have thoughts that extend past 20 seconds. And so what is there left for him to pick if they are so anchored down? I can't get into any trouble with what I say. I'm constantly afraid of the mob coming after me. That's interesting. I mean, like, what is he going to learn from, let's pick, like, Taylor Swift or something?

Like, maybe he can disarm her and get her to say a bunch of interesting stuff. But at this point, so far into her career, with all this massive success, she's got her PR stuff on lockdown. And so do a lot of these megastars. All right. Lastly, I was watching Fox and Friends this morning, and I just heard this from Fox's own Jimmy Thaler. and I had never thought about Stephen Colbert's failure in these terms. Jimmy said, yeah, he is on the left and an anti-Trump guy, but he was also just on a talent perspective, very limited.

Listen to Jimmy Thaler. Obviously, we've been saying for years, this is an activist masquerading, okay, as a comedian, but it's not just because of his political bias. It's because of his limitations as a comic. He got famous playing a right-wing pundit on Comedy Central. That show was just one big conservative joke. So when they took off the facade of the character and made him be himself, that was still all he knew how to do. So he couldn't change this even if you took the political allegiance out of it.

That's such a great point. That's really interesting, Bradley. Like, right? Like the, what was it called? Was it called the Colbert Report on Comedy Central? Yeah, something like that. It was one big spoof of conservatives. Like, that was his whole bit.

And so he doesn't have anything more. He went over to be a mainstream broad-ranged comic on CBS, and all he had was the thing that he's always done just without the satire, just without the character. And it's not any good without that. So he's just limited, honestly, in his talent. Yeah, there's, you know, starring actors. There's supporting actors. And Colbert has played the supporting actor his entire career.

He got the shot at being the main guy. and he failed miserably. And I also think there's something about the nature of the character that he was playing. A right-wing pundit, right? If you, like, generally, you know, the left is known for openness. But when we're talking about comedy,

I think the right is what's known as the open folks when it comes to the world of comedy. Like, they're not worried about being labeled a racist or having an offensive joke. The left is what's really concerned about that. And so the nature of being a right-wing pundit, you know, even for a show that spoofs conservatives, is that you have that latitude with the audience because the audience knows its parody. And so you can be, you know, more

comedically enterprising. And when that character is taken away from you, you don't have that protection anymore. You have to stay in your lane and you have to make sure that your jokes are pleasing all the Karens out there that might get mad at you for potentially even implying something offensive by a joke that you said. So I think it's such a good point that Jimmy makes. All right. Check out Bradley at the Daily Daily Signal. He also hosts the Signal Sitdown, which he has some experience there with some of the interview stuff we were talking about. Check out that podcast before he goes. Two a days, I had you look it up. People are always like, Will, don't text. It's super rude when you're in a conversation. First of all, I can multitask,

and this is how I communicate with my staff. I'm not like talking to my buddies because I'm bored with what Bradley's saying. I'm like, hey, so I just texted him, Bradley. I said, look up husky. When you said it, I gave you the working dog thing, and I was like, it's a good theory. But there is something about the husky that says to me, Seattle coffee drinker as well. Like, yeah, I work, but I'm also a little different than everybody else. I could see a husky being a PC bro. So what does chat GPT say about the husky two days? So the definition is constantly howling, loves attention, gorgeous but dramatic, would definitely derail a protest with a TikTok dance, so it's liberal. I don't know.

This kind of sounds like the standard poodle thing that we were talking about with, I know plenty of people in Dallas who keep themselves looking good who are incredibly conservative. I think this is classic Orange County dog. This is where I'm from. This is Orange County, California. They want to be the center of the tension. Orange County. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

They want to be the center of attention, but they still are a country club conservative at heart. So disagree. Disagree with you, Chad, GPD. It's too hot. The Husky, I feel bad when I see the huskies in Orange County or in someplace like Texas. I'm like, that poor dude, even a German Shepherd.

Sometimes I see German Shepherds here in Texas. I'm like, oh, my God, that poor guy, he's wearing like a double-down fur coat in 100-degree heat. He belongs in the north. That's where he's supposed to be. So I don't know. Keep them short. All right.

Check out Bradley at the Signal sit down at the Daily Signal. Bradley, it's great to have you on. Thanks for being here today. Will, thanks as always. All right. Some of your comments have already come in on the WNBA and the news that we, I'd like to think, we have just owned here, you know,

Um, fellas, Ellie is so committed to putting Saint in some denim that she went home during the show and got more denim. Oh my gosh, she's already got him in something. He let you do that. Come here, Saint.

What are you wearing? Come here. No, he's got a jean jacket on. I don't know if you can see this. He's wearing a jean jacket right now. Oh, no. At least... Call him back.

At least it's not Daisy Dukes. Saint, come here. Saint. Come over here with your jacket. That looks pretty cool, Saint. You've got to get his arms in the arms. It's just draped on him like a James Brown cape. I bet he hates it.

But we're not doing this. I put the no way are we doing this. on my dog uh okay over on youtube let's see your roner says hold on real quick i'll pull it up here you got this i believe in you your roner says sophie meaning sophy cunningham said not to throw things on the floor since it might hurt somebody. I agree. It's a job of the players to hurt each other in the WNBA. That's good. That's right. Caitlin Clark, not safe now anytime in the WNBA. Okay, so we have a third incident. It's a third time that adult marital item, a love wand, has been thrown onto the court. Once again, it is a lime green, right, tinfoil, Pat?

That's the breaking news. It is lime green, this loved one. So we've got a real epidemic in the WNBA. Oh, yeah, I definitely want this video. Let's take a look at what happened in the WNBA. Oh, look out. Something just came on to the floor. See it there?

I've got an object that just blew in as the free throw. Let's watch it again. All right, that's the Indiana fever in the Los Angeles Sparks. You would know. Yeah. All right, this one almost made the free throw line. This was well out onto the court. That's a toss.

I didn't see it hit Sophie Cunningham. and Kelsey Plum kicked it off the court. We're going to have to see, man. Like, they threw the book at the kid the other day. Public indecency, criminal trespass. There was another charge in there as well. So I think these guys or gals that are throwing these on the core are going to start and have her.

Oh, come on. It's assault, man. I don't think it's a salt. I think it is. I'm being the liberal in this scenario. Those charges, they're going to jack those charges up right now. They're going to jack it up so that you get the publicity for it.

No bail. And then those charges are going to go away. Careful. I'm sorry. Watch a language. The context of the... I've entrusted you to be the David Spunt of this entire Dildo Gate, and you're going to have to be more careful about your language here.

You and the WNBA announcer. Oh, something just came on the floor. Whoa. Okay? Let's just pick our words a little more carefully. We're all professionals here. Oh, my God. Well, I mean, am I the only one playing chess to everyone else's checkers here?

I mean, I watch the words coming out of my mouth. That went way over my head. Oh, my God. Well, that's the difference in you and me. That's why I make the big bucks. My mind goes to clean places, Will. I go to clean places, Will. well, I'm just telling you

you got to see down the road to a day you've got to see it. What's going to happen? I can't believe I'm part of this. Yeah, so they are going to have to elevate the charges tinfoil to really get people scared of this, apparently. You're right.

I don't know what charges they elevate this toward. You know, what's next? Maybe it's like what Dan said. It's assault. With a deadly weapon? Or? Or?

of the pleasureable weapon pleasurable weapon assault with a pleasurable weapon I've never heard somebody dying from what the we got to get to the bottom of the

lime green industry like what's going on with the lime green is it a political message what is being said I tried couldn't find anything is it true like tinfoil pat has forwarded and Tim Young

I saw who's often a guest on our show is said the fact that it's continuously lime green reveals that it is an inside job a conspiracy to get more attention on the w nba i think you're we're going to leave that to you tinfoil to really get to the bottom of this before we get to full on epidemic proportions and i think we might be close here to full epidemic proportions all right um i saw this in my morning from Fox News, where is it? Tenfold, do you have this beach etiquette? Everybody's very concerned about, here we go, beach etiquette. This is according to beach.com. 96% of people think beach etiquette is real. 93% think they, in fact, have good beach etiquette. And 92% though, admit to engaging

in one bad beach behavior. This is coming as locals on various beaches are very upset with the sprawling and massive tents and umbrellas that people are parking and setting up at the beaches, obstructing others' views of the ocean. Now, I will say, don't you think it's a little bit incumbent upon you to get to the beach early or pick a spot toward the front? There's like a line, a tide line and a wavelength, right? And that's the front row seat at the beach. and if you select that, good on you. If you're behind that, you assume the responsibility

of people coming in front of you. Now, I will say, if you pick that clear front row seat and some person with bad etiquette goes in front of you, that's not good, right? And, you know, where the water is hitting their feet and all that, we agree

that the water line is for playing, not for sitting. Don't we agree? Like, that's where people throw the football. that are on the far back end of the dry sand. That's where people mess around in the beach. Don't set your tent up up there. But, you know, Tintful, you're the guy. Actually, two days you are too, because you're Connecticut.

You're beachgoers. Like, what is the bad beach etiquette beyond the big tent? Patrick. Playing your boombox really loudly when you're around thousands of people. I would say smoking cigarettes at the beach now. You don't want to rip the beach? Come on. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, like, I want you to kind of get a little distance there.

Or weed, for that matter. It's legal up here, but you don't want to smell that. Our entire beach smells like weed. Jacksonville just smells like a giant pot farm. We really are. We really are America's pawn shop. It's pathetic. I like...

Ed asks. is if it's like floor seats at a concert. Like if somebody's taller than you. No, that's fine. It's just about like spreading out and like taking over so much space. I get if you're with a big party. But there's this etiquette of like encroaching into areas kicking up sand around you. If you have small children, you got to, you know, keep them in line a little bit so they're not kicking everywhere and things like that.

And just act like it's a shared space with other public and it's not your living room or it's not your backyard. That's a good rule of thumb. to go by anywhere. Here's what I think. I think the boomboxing, the Bluetooth speaker, I think people should be allowed to play music. It's not an AirPods situation. It's a social situation.

So you can have social music. But this is a very big gray area because it's how loud, right? And you should turn it up loud enough that your group can hear it, but it's not really spilling out that much into other groups. Right. You're not the entertainment of the entire beach. You're the entertainment of your little pod of people. Can we agree? So there's like a volume level that is socially appropriate. Within reason, I think that's true. But also it does depend on the type of music. There's some music that's okay for like public setting. Oh, so you get to decide what's okay. I'm just saying like, you know, I'm not going to play my music. I'm not going to play my music because there are a lot of F bombs in it. You know, there are children around. it's a public place really really you listen to that kind of stuff huh sometimes um bumble rap is i totally agree with you by the way if you have explicit music sexually or with words then then you can't be blasting that out especially when there's kids around and that whole thing

and then um but this is this takes me to meet my second point Patrick i disagree with you on the and cigars. I am against the whole, like, outdoor spaces. What have we done to smokers? Like, what are they left with? We took the bar from them. We've taken the entry and exit to the office building. We've taken the airplanes from them.

We've taken everything. You can't take the open air from them as well. They're allowed to smoke in a park. They're allowed to smoke at a beach. And I'm going to defend the smokers on this. I'm here for you. Got to go to the back. It dissipates quickly.

Dude, if you're smoking a cigarette, it dissipates quickly. True. I'm okay with the cigars. But here's like, this is like the music as well. The weed, I'm going to agree with you with. Like, you can't be smoking weed, even if it's legal. There's just a social stigma to that that is appropriate because of children. People are drinking.

Because there's children present and so forth. I just think it's the same thing drinking is more socially acceptable yeah but it shouldn't be drinking is more socially acceptable and then here's one that I offer you I sound liberal watch where you're walking when people lay their towel down one of the most irritating things is other people kick sand

on your towel or walk on your towel that's a big one stay off other people's towels don't throw the ball in that zone where people line up don't play spike ball right there go to the back that's where you have to go to do that all the way up to the shore or all the way to the back for ball games.

We have a little bit of breaking news here that I'm just going to touch on because it's happening as we speak and I don't have all the information on it, but there's a shooter in custody shots at a Georgia base, assuming that's a military base. I can see it in the background here. Fort Stewart in Georgia. So that's something we're going to keep our eye on here as well. You can turn over to the Fox News Channel for that breaking news coverage of what's happening there in Georgia. Very serious situation. While we're sitting here talking about beach etiquette. But welcome to Will Kane Country. All right, that's going to do it for us today here. We hope you're back here again. Same time, same place tomorrow. We've lost my co-host.
