You know, there is a saying, be careful you might just become what you hate. I did a quick Google because I want to know who kind of came up with that idea. I don't know. But I do know that when you go to Google, it says it offers you the answer to this question.

What does it mean to become what you hate? And the answer, according to Google, reads as follows. Through being so concentrated on what we despise and trying our best to avoid becoming said thing, we inevitably become it. We lose ourselves in this spiral of hatred and resentment to such a degree at the same thing we dislike becomes ingrained into our character due to spending so much time dwelling on it. I think the left has been dwelling on Donald Trump. And I think Joe Biden just might become what he hates.

Joe Biden gave a press conference last night to address the Supreme Court's decision that presidents do, in fact, have immunity for official acts and an absolute immunity. community for constitutional duties. Joe Biden said, very eloquently, I dissent. In defense of our democracy, I dissent. But something was unique about this speech. Joe Biden was orange. Orange man bad? Orange man good?

The internet has taken over. It's been blessing us with memes. Like the following. Just take a look at one. of these really quickly. Two a days, tinfoil Pat, young establishment, James. You can look at Biden in this meme last Thursday night in the CNN presidential debate, gray, ghost-like, a bit of a corpse. And then last night, someone said, looks like a Tupperware container that left spaghetti in for about a week, absorbed all the orange, absorbed all the red. And then it's got Ewan

McGregor as a young Obi-1-Connobe, you have become the very thing you swore to destroy. Obviously, somebody said, man, we looked bad on Thursday night. Break out the bronzer. And hey, man, who am I to criticize someone for a little bit of makeup? It's part of my job description. But I think it's fair, fellas, to Joe Biden has become what he hates. Let's let's dive into the memes. Let's explore the new phenomenon of Orange Man Good coming up a little bit here on the Will Cane show.

But first, let's get into whether or not the Supreme Court of the United States has just authorized the President of the United States to use SEAL Team 6 to assassinate his political rival. Let's get into that with story number one. He is the Attorney General of Missouri. It's Andrew Bailey, who, by the way, helped pioneer bring before the Supreme Court of the United States a case last. week that was very important to anyone who was a defender of free speech. And that was the case that hoped to keep the government of the United States from using third parties like social media companies from censoring us on X, on Facebook, on YouTube, on social media. And he joins us now here on the Will Kane show. Thanks for being here, Mr. Attorney General. Thanks for having me on,

Will. I appreciate it. I'm glad to have you. Beautiful backdrop, flags, American and Missouri behind you there. You are obviously the Attorney General of Missouri. You're well-versed in constitutional law. You're not just well-versed. You're bringing them. You're bringing them to the forefront. Before we get into your case, I would just love your reaction to the decision yesterday. You know, it's interesting, Mr. Attorney General, that, you know, Jin Saki, I somehow ended up on her Twitter feed and her ex-feed, and she was talking still about the debate. And I was like, I'd be curious what her audience is saying because she's still kind of like surprisingly saying wow you know this was really bad on Biden it wasn't all his up it wasn't all his advisors it was bad on Biden and her audience was like

why are you talking about this water under the bridge do you realize the Supreme Court of the United States just destroyed democracy and so I think it's important that we put it into proper context what do you make of what happened yesterday at the Supreme Court the Supreme Court said what we always knew which is that the president is immune for behavior that he conducts in his official capacity as president. The founders gave him broad authority to react to crises, both foreign and domestic, and to enforce the laws given to him by Congress. He's got to have the latitude in the law to be able to fulfill that broad authority. And a couple of observations from the Biden camp, number one, surprised that President Biden was willing to miss

the early bird special and hold the press conference at the time he did. For five minutes, Maybe no questions. Well done, President Biden. But I'll say this. If anyone should be popping champagne, it's Joe Biden. How many state attorneys general and red prosecutors were ready to prosecute him for conspiring to violate immigration laws, conspiring and aiding and abetting in the fentanyl and human trafficking crisis emanating from the southern border? If anything, he should be celebrating, not bemoaning this opinion. Again, this is just the proper interpretation of the Constitution as it was written and enacted. Well, it strikes me, not just the hubris of, well, I've done nothing wrong, so I should never need this protection, but they don't see the actual decision. First of all, isn't it fair to say, I think? This is a presumption on both of our parts, but it's fair to say that very few people who are, you know, hyperventilating about this decision over the last 36 hours have actually read the decision. They don't know what it had to say. But it's not just that Joe Biden doesn't think he'll ever be the subject of a DOJ prosecution. it's just that for them it's not about the presidency it's not about the law it just seems to fit

into this you know larger tactical and strategic mindset of anything to get Donald Trump and this just got in the way of getting Donald Trump yeah they hate Donald Trump more than they love this country and I say that because they're willing to undermine the rule of law subjugate constitutional protections that are intended to protect all of us from the government and yet they're going to weaponize the government to go after one individual, and they're hurting all Americans in the process. If they can do it to President Trump, they can do it to any of us. Shame on them. And Missourians are being harmed in the process.

Anyone who had an inclination to hear from or engage with the Trump campaign has been limited in their ability to participate in a national election in the heat of a presidential campaign in the most consequential presidential election in this nation's history because a rogue prosecutor and a collusive judiciary in the state of New York. That's true also with Biden's true. DOJ and the rural prosecutor in the state of Georgia. This is all lawfare emanating from President Biden. And as you've pointed out, the goal was never to obtain a legally valid conviction.

The goal was always to tether President Trump to a courtroom, eventually sentence him, and silence him in the process. It's to interfere with the election. That's why we're fighting back. You know, I've been interested in the number of institutions. And I think Joe Biden's speech last night, as you pointed out, just five minutes of it. But Joe Biden's speech last night does incredible day. to one of the most important institutions in our country. I mean, for all the talk about Donald Trump and his attacks on, I don't know, the FBI,

or Donald Trump, how about this, Donald Trump in his lack of fidelity to NATO as a way, as an example of him, you know, defying norms and institutions, I continue to be shocked at the institutions that are truly integral to our republic, our constitutional republic, that they're willing to throw under the bus to save democracy. I want to come back to that idea, save democracy in just a moment. But just as a quick illustration, you've been at the forefront. We'll talk about it in a minute. The First Amendment, sacrificed at the altar of saving democracy.

The Supreme Court of the United States, sacrificed at the altar of saving democracy. And saving democracy has, I think as you were talking, it becomes clear. It's a euphemism for stopping Donald Trump. So anything that will stop Donald Trump is saving democracy. And I think they've made that very clear because they talk in those terms, right? Like Donald Trump brings us to the edge of authoritarianism. He's a direct threat to democracy. What I'm curious about your opinion on is these are some pretty big rubricrons to cross,

like the delegitimization of the Supreme Court of the United States. Do you think they can cross back? Do you think that after Donald Trump, they'll quit burning down institutions? Or is this just now, I just wonder if it's not now bigger than Donald Trump? If it's not just about the consolidation of power at large instead of just stopping one man. It's true they're obsessed with Donald Trump, but has it not metastasized in absolute power. No, I think Pandora's box has been open. They're in an infinitely regressive death spiral again.

These are people that hate Donald Trump because he started an America first movement. He wanted to fight to make America great again. And think about how much he expanded the base of the Republican Party and took it in areas it's never been, never even imagined it could go. He started a movement. He's at the forefront of the movement. And the movement will live beyond him. We're thankful that he started it. They hate him for it. But there are people who still love this country and still care about our constitutional rights and freedoms in our institutions. And saying that President Trump somehow rejected those institutions or, you know, win against normative behavior is like saying that the Kansas City Chiefs shouldn't participate in the NFL draft because they just won the Super Bowl. No, first of all, it's not even a good example because the Chiefs actually won the Super Bowl, whereas the status quo has failed large swaths of the American people to include here in middle America and Missouri. But number two, you should always be trying to find ways to get better.

And that's what President Trump has done for America and will continue to do for America. And the left hates them for that. They don't want America as it exists or has existed. They want a one world government fealty to authoritarianism. COVID was also kind of the Trojan horse that got the enemy behind the gate and introduced them to expanded centralized control of thought, of deed, of speech. They want to expand upon those principles. You see that in the Missouri v. Biden case. You see that in the law for against President Trump. They're willing to undermine every institution in this country in order to retain power. It's never been a about truth it's always been about control congratulations um here with missouri attorney general

andrew bailey here congratulations on working the kansas city chiefs into that conversation um i'm sure it will help with your electoral prospects in the future um by way while i've got you missouri is like one of these interesting no man land states um like what are you are you midwestern are you southern like what what you you are even more than kentucky like i think Kentucky, Oklahoma, Missouri, you're in the no man's land. Like border states, what are you culturally? But you might be the bullseye of the no man's land. I think you're probably, I don't know, every time I want to say you're Southern,

St. Louis feels Midwestern. So I don't know what you guys are in Missouri. It's a unique and culturally diverse state. You know, I would say we're Midwestern, but think about this. We've got the westernmost eastern city in St. Louis. So we've got the eastern most western city in Kansas City. We've got Springfield, Missouri and southwest Missouri that looks very Bible Belt. We've got southeast Missouri from Cape Girardo South that looks more like SEC country.

And so, yeah, I mean, it's, again, it's a culturally diverse and rich state, and I'm proud to call it home. All right, you brought it up, Missouri versus Biden. So despite the celebration, I think, for those who understand the rule of law, This was a big day yesterday at the Supreme Court. But last week, there was a very disappointing decision, I think, for many of us at the Supreme Court as well. And it was yours. It was a 6-3 decision where they said that the Biden administration, where the federal government, can exert influence on social media companies to, well, they say it wouldn't be a limitation of the First Amendment, but a limitation of free speech, right? So what do you make of the way the Supreme Court came down in the case that you?

you helped champion. Well, I think the mainstream media has gotten the headlines completely wrong. It's 180 degrees opposite of what they're saying. I think there's a lot to like in the opinion. Look, first and foremost, I would prefer there be a preliminary injunction against further government censorship on big tech social media platforms, but the fight for the First Amendment is far from over. And if anything, we can look to the future and realize that we've been sent back down to the trial court for merits discovery with broad authority to continue to root out the vast censorship enterprises. I want to make a couple points here. Number one, the court explicitly found that the government had, in fact, coerced big tech social media corporations into silencing American

voices in violation of the First Amendment. We now have precedent to show that what they did was wrong. The court merely found that the evidence was limited to the years 2020 and 2021 and that we couldn't show at the present time, based on the limited evidence we had available during the preliminary stages of the litigation, that the censorship was ongoing. That's why we're going to get more evidence. And let me ask this. Have you ever seen an instance in which the government starts trampling on people's rights and voluntarily rolls back where government grows and mushrooms exponentially and then suddenly recedes? That doesn't happen organically. In a vacuum, government will continue to grow. I am confident that the evidence will lead us to an expansion

in that vast censorship enterprise. They've gotten a taste and they can't stop now. That's why this merits discovery phase is going to be so important to go out and continue to build a wall of separation between Tech and State. The fight for the First Amendment is just getting started. This was a preliminary injunction and a preliminary stage of the litigation. The litigation is far from over. Well, I agree with you. The fight for the First Amendment will be ongoing. It could be as soon as recent as whatever happens over the next couple of months in anticipation of the 2024 presidential election, because we've seen it with every election cycle. And I mean, we saw it with COVID. And then we saw it with Hunter Biden's laptop.

And I'm really concerned about what we're going to see here now, probably less on X, but in all the other social media platforms, and the role the government plays behind the scenes. I've always been on the, you know, I'm sure you are as well, Mr. Attorney General, but like, the argument is the government has a bully pulpit, and a suggestion from the government isn't simply a suggestion, right? I remember this back when, do you remember the, I can't remember the name of the documentary or the filmmaker, but when Barack Obama blamed, I think it was the. Arab Spring on a Muslim filmmaker who offended much of the Middle East. To me, that was like, wow, that's, at the very least, chilling on free speech for the President of the United States to say, hey, you really shouldn't have done that, right? You shouldn't have insulted Muhammad because look at the results. That's chilling.

And what we're talking about here and what you've brought to light is way beyond chilling. It's coercion. It's saying, hey, this is bad stuff. You should take a look, the implication being take it down. Yeah. Well, and the government actually threatened big tech social media platforms. I mean, if you remember on the White House law, the president himself, President Biden said that Facebook was killing people for not censoring more. They threatened repeal of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the cash cow that has allowed big tech social media to become essentially an oligarchy insulated from any kind of legal claims against them. They threaten antitrust action against Big Tech social media platforms. Those were direct. coercive arguments against big tech that resulted in big tech changing the terms and conditions of their censorship regime. And certainly big tech understood themselves to be cajoled and coerced. Look at the emails that Congressman Jordan has released as part of his investigation

from the judiciary committee where internal to big tech, you can see the ripple in the pond effect where meta, Facebook, others are saying, oh, yeah, look, we wouldn't have changed that, but the government told us we had to and we don't want to bring the hammer down on us. So clearly there was coercion here. It's specifically targeted American voices. 100% of the American voices targeted were conservative voices and 100% of the speech that was censored was core political speech, thus establishing a violation of the First Amendment. You're right. It will be ongoing if we don't continue to push this litigation forward. And that's why I'm so energized to get back down to the trial court and continue to fight to erect that wall of separation between tech and state.

And you're also bringing litigation from what I understand. Are you bringing something regarding the prosecution of Donald Trump in the state of New York and also Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness programs. Yeah, and they're really flip sides of the same coin. They're weaponization of the government to achieve a political aim. On the one hand, with student loans, President Biden has already been told by the Supreme Court he has no authority to redistribute a half trillion dollars in student loan debt. That damages Missouri into the tune of north of 45 million dollars. We filed suit against his plan A, but a stop through it at the United States Supreme Court one month or one year ago this month. He went back to plan B is now willfully flaunting the authority

of the United States Supreme Court bragging about how it's going to do it anyway. And yet somehow President Biden is the sacred guardian of democracy. No way. Not when he's, you know, usurping a co-equal third branch of government. So we filed suit again. Same damages. And we got a nationwide preliminary injunction just a week ago to put a stop to it where I'm not going to let Jill Biden saddle working Missouri families with Ivy League debt. On the lawfare issue, it's the flip side of the same point. President, on one hand, President, President, Biden's trying to buy votes. On the other hand, he's trying to take a political opponent off the campaign trail. We know there's a collusive relationship between the crooked Department of Justice

when they deployed Matthew Colangelo, the third-ranking official at DOJ and former DNC consultant to lead Alvin Bragg's trial court prosecution in this illicit witch hunt. And so we're filing suit to address our grievance, the state of Missouri's grievance. We have a right to participate in a national election on equal footing absent a rogue prosecutor and collusive judiciary taking a presidential candidate off the campaign trail and silencing that candidate. So this is an important fight and one worth making. I wonder, though, I mean, you ran into the issue of standing when it came to the First Amendment issues.

If you won't run into a similar issue from the Supreme Court, what is your standing to stop something happening in the state of New York? Well, the standing is that Missouri has electors who have been selected by our parties who are supposed to go to a convention and cast their ballots for their chosen presidential candidate. And if they're denied access to that candidate because he's either in a courtroom or on house arrest or on probation or doing community service or, God forbid, sentence to prison and or they can't hear from that presidential candidate because the court is imposed a gag order, well, that violates our rights as a sovereign state to participate in the national election. All right. We'll see if the Supreme Court or first lower courts are sympathetic to that argument. So let me end this where we began. I gave a hypothetical. It's not my hypothetical.

It's not even these insane liberal commentators who we'll get into in just a moment here on the Will Kane shows hypothetical. Sadly, it's actually a hypothetical that came from a Supreme Court justice, Justice Sonia Sotomayor. So I'll ask you the hypothetical. Now, with this kind of immunity, could the president of the United States deploy SEAL Team 6 to take out his political rivals? Assassination and then no prosecution because immunity for the president. Of course not. That's absurd. the president is immune for official acts that are part of the core responsibility of the presidency assassining political opponents is not a core responsibility to the president. But if the president needs to deploy Navy SEALs to kill terrorists overseas or somewhere else, he's authorized to do that under our Constitution.

And he's provided some level of immunity to protect him to react to an emergency to defend all of us. A hypothetical that has actually played out in real life, by the way, as you just described. And the president in that situation that you just described, could you take out a terrorist? In this case, an American citizen. And by the way, another American citizen who was not a judge guilty of anything, a terrorist 16-year-old son, can you take him out with a drone and remain immune? The answer to that has been and is yes, and that president's name was Barack Obama. So despite all the hyperbole, we actually have seen this play out in real life. The Attorney General of Missouri, Andrew Bailey, thank you.

much, Mr. A.G, for joining us here today on the Will Kane Show. Thanks, Will. Appreciate you. All right, glad to have you there. It's really crazy. The reaction, I told you about that Jen Socky Twitter feed. I mean, it makes sense that they would want to move on from the debate. Let's just move on. Can we move on? It would make sense, but they've replaced it with this absolute dystopian vision of America. based on what happened yesterday at the Supreme Court of the United States.

Let's get into it because to me, it's getting really dangerous. Like this type of conversation, is it just keyboard warriors or is it setting us up for something really bad? That's next on the Will Cain Show. I'm Janice Dean. Join me every Sunday as I focus on stories of hope and people who are truly rays of sunshine in their community and across the world. Listen and follow now at Fox News Podcast.com. This is Jimmy Phala, inviting you to join me for Fox Across America, where we'll discuss every single one of the Democrats' dumb ideas. Just kidding. It's only a three-hour show.

Listen live at noon Eastern or get the podcast at Fox Across America.com. You guys up to? It's beginning to feel like a dystopian novel. It's beginning to feel like something really bad has happened. happening. Lawfare fails. A presidential candidate fails. Putting us on the doorstep of Donald Trump, and that puts us on the doorstep of what it feels like, something really bad and dystopian. It is the Will Kane show, streaming live at foxnews.com, terrestrial radio, market to market, coast to coast, on demand, Spotify, Apple, and on YouTube.

Jay Quick on YouTube says, Will Kane has reasonable. discussion with Destiny and David Pacman. Also, Will Kane. Democrats hate America. You know, that comment doesn't make me mad. It doesn't make me defensive. It makes me actually self-reflective.

And it's part of the reason I want to have someone like Destiny come on here on the Will Kane show. Destiny as a placeholder, less convinced about David Packman. As bring people in who have honest disagreement. I do want to check myself. You can get inside your own head. You can get inside your own X-feed. You can get inside your own bubble. And you need to have that checked.

But I will tell you, inside my own head, inside my own bubble, inside my own X-feed, it's getting really dystopic. Now, young establishment James and tinfoil patent, two of days, Dan, you know, I'm not sure they all agree with me. So what I mean by that is I want to bring in disagreement wherever I can. I want to check myself. So here, I'll have these guys and I'll have you watching at home. Check me. Let me give you an example. Let me give you an example of the conversation that's taking place today

after the decision by the Supreme Court of the United States. Let's start with Harry Sisson. Harry Sisson is a, I don't know, he's a influencer. I don't know if he's a paid Biden surrogate. And I don't know what his fame is beyond. the internet. But I know he is a, I don't know, successful influencer. After the Supreme Court of the United States, decision yesterday, he posted the following. Let's put it up for the audience to see. Put it on X. So according to the Supreme Court, Biden could now send in SEAL Team

6 to take all of them out. He can send in the military to take out Trump. He has immunity for official acts now. This has become a thing, the SEAL Team 6 thing, right? I just want you to think about the progression of language, progression of rhetoric, the dystopian hyperbole. And I'm going to come back to what Jay Quick had to say. Am I in my own bubble? Do Democrats hate America? I think what Democrats hate is Donald Trump, truly, viscerally, to the extent to Joe Biden has become Donald Trump. Let's just take another look at one of those memes really quick.

Joe Biden has become orange. You become what you hate. The Internet always does its thing. Joe Biden has an umpah lumpa. orange, green hair, white eyebrows. Look, I mean, I get it. I know you could do it with Donald Trump, and you have over the past decade. But here we go.

Now we're doing it with Joe Biden. I think it's self-evidently true. Democrats hate Donald Trump. The problem is that Donald Trump has become a placeholder for anything now. And in order to stop Donald Trump, you will do anything, not to say that you will stop Donald Trump, but to save democracy. You'll do anything. And I do think that you have to look in the mirror and go, well, what won't I sacrifice to, quote, unquote, save democracy? So as you kind of descend into this dystopia, you say, where does it start?

I mean, who's Harry Sisson? He's a nobody, right? I mean, there's YouTube comments. There's others that are echoing what he has to say, right? Take a look. It's all over, this Steel Team 6 thing. This is our feed, I think. This is on YouTube.

I can't read that long handle, but, okay. Biden should send in SEAL's Team 6 to Mar-a-Lago. Mar-Lago. I always do that. It's Mar, Spanish, Lake, C, C, not mare, like a horse, female horse. Demigodd says, President Biden, on the phone? Yes, can I speak with the leader of SEAL Team 6? I saw an actor, actress, I think, non-binary.

A million followers saying, do it, Biden. Take out Trump. Take him out. You not have immunity, and he is Hitler in 1915. 40 okay again who are these people right it's just commentators and back to the guys now man that's what you said to a days in our group text chain you're like come on it's just it's just s posting it's just keyboard warriors saying stuff right yeah i mean i see this all the time don't worry tinfoil hold on you like just because you got a profile shot you're turning sideways

you can make that face you're allowed to relax tinfoil pat got caught on camera and i was trying to watch the show under the screen you think it's just all you think it's just all keyboard warriors two days I just think like especially after the debate everyone's like oh the world's going to end who cares who's going to win president you know it's just like this doomsday thing that just keeps going on and on and I think it's a lot of stuff it's like what you said earlier to me also

it's what you're seeing on social media you know it doesn't really reflect real life all the time so I mean people are getting scared and they talk about civil war and things like that But I think we're just seeing it online, and in real life, it's not as much as that as you might think it is. All right. Well, first of all, I had a friend say, what's with these names you call the guys on your show? I'm like, well, they're nicknames. She said, they're really long.

It's true. Your nicknames are long. Two a day's Dan, young establishment, James, and tinfoil Pat. It takes a long time to say it. And by the way, she had never heard of the. She never heard of tin foil. Like, that's a well, people know what it means to be tinfoil, right, to wear a tin foil hat. Yeah.

And that's why it so perfectly fits, tinfoil pat. Okay, listen. And this is what I like having you around. I think that you are a bit of a casual. And I don't say that. Wow. I don't, Dan. I don't, as casual as you can be working at Fox News.

I don't say that derisively. I think you have a copacetic nature that says, okay, it's all going to be all right. These political nuts always take everything too far. And I think that's okay. I don't mind that. But I think you also have to dig your rudder in, right? You can't float on the top of the surface always because there's more going on in the streams

below the surface of the river. And I think that if you put it into some context, you know, you know, there's been an attempt on the life of a Supreme Court justice. You know that, right? Like, Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Crazy dude went with a backpack and tried to kill Kavanaugh. I remain, like, shocked. There's been no real attempts that we know of on the life of Donald Trump.

But the point is when you ratchet up this rhetoric at some point, and you say democracy is at stake, and you say we're on the edge of 1940, again, maybe just a crazy person on the internet. But this is a bit of rhetoric that's become a bit of a chorus. you put people into a mindset, and it doesn't take an entire Civil War. It takes one crazy person, right? It takes one person to assassinate the Archduke Ferdinand,

and then before you know it, the Cascade and the Domino's start to fall in your World War I. It takes one crazy person to marshal, to mobilize some tender box that's underneath the surface. And what I think is more concerning than the keyboard warriors is where they're taking their cues from. And so let me play you this from the Supreme Court Justice of the United States, Sonia Sotomayor. She is the one painting this we are destroying democracy. Donald Trump is about to take over. This is during oral arguments. So this was before the decision. She wrote her dissent yesterday. But she was setting up her dissent during oral arguments. And she said the following to Trump's attorney. If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person,

and he orders the military or orders someone to assassinate him, is that within his official acts for which he can get immunity? There you go. So it's not just keyboard warriors. It's not just crazy people. It is the Supreme Court, a justice on the Supreme Court of the United States. I saw the other day we had on Critical Drinker. Will Jordan on the show

and people on the comments who don't watch the Will Kane show every day like Will Kane put down your phone how rude when you're talking to guests I'm scrolling my phone I keep notes on my phone

for the record okay and I also keep time and I do a lot of things with different devices I can never be accused of someone who's not listening to my guest but don't you find that

concerning two days that's the Supreme Court Justice of the United States It is, but don't you think some of it's just to rile up bases a little bit, you know, to get people out to vote? Well, that's my point. I know, but you're right on the fact that it might triggers one person, crazy person to do something crazy. And yes, that's absolutely scary. But, I mean, it is just kind of to rile up and on both sides, too, Democrat and Republican.

I mean, I just think it's a little bit of a way to, you know, just be a little radical and rile someone up for the sake of getting out to vote. Both sides, Democrat and Republican. Well, again, I want to be self-aware. Are Republicans convincing their base that we're on the edge of dystopia? And if we're being real, yeah. I mean, we do. Yeah, we talk about that. We're right and they're wrong.

No, I'm kidding. That's where you immediately want to go. You're in seeing it's like that. Both sides want to say that immediately. See, the real difference is we're right and they're wrong. See, here's where you're wrong. Correct. I don't know man

I think if you say the democracy is at stake at all times and you say that one man is the guy taking us there you are forgiving yourself of every manner of sin they've forgiven themselves for burning the First Amendment to the United States Constitution they've forgiven themselves from discrediting the Supreme Court of the United States they've forgiven themselves from saying

that their opponents are Nazis they've forgiven themselves for everything all the way up to what I'm getting at something bad is on the verge of happening. You can't keep talking like this. You can't keep undercutting the institutions of the constitutional republic that is the United States. You can't keep it up without some consequence. And I don't know what it will be. And I don't know. Maybe in the end, maybe it's just Joe Biden continuing to paint himself orange. I don't know. Maybe it just gets oranger and oranger, and he becomes Donald Trump. Let's do one more. Come on,

It's just fun. Let's do one more orange man bad, orange man good meme. This one's good. Look at me, Jack. Come on. I'm the orange man now. Oh, that's from... Captain...

Hold on, I can do it. Captain... It's Tom Hanks, Captain... I can't think of it now. Geez. Do you know it, Patrick? What's the movie? I could tell you, but I'm not. owner.

Oh. Really? You're just going to let us flounder while we broadcast? Yeah. Oh, I know. Captain Phillips. Captain Phillips. Captain Phillips.

I'm the captain. And they grade out Donald Trump. They grade out Donald Trump. By the way, they're going to replace Joe Biden. That's another thing that makes it all feel big. It all feels huge. Everything. Carl Bernstein, you know, Woodward and Bernstein, was on CNN.

I just find this. How about this? Okay, they're willing to burn down the First Amendment. Amendment, the Supreme Court of the United States, checks and balances, constitutional republic, and, oh, of course, the truth. They're willing to burn down the truth to save democracy. Listen to Carl Bernstein talking about, yeah, you know what? We kind of knew this about Joe Biden. He's losing his marbles. Well, these are people, several of them who are very close to President Biden, who love him, have supported him, have been among them or some people who have raised a lot of money for him. and they are adamant that what we saw the other night, the Joe Biden we saw, is not a one-off, that there have been 15, 20 occasions in the last year and a half

when the president has appeared somewhat as he did in that horror show that we witnessed. And what's so significant is the people that this is coming from and also how many people around the president are aware of such incidents. including some reporters, incidentally, who have witnessed some of them. Well, why haven't we been talking about it? Why now? Bernstein, by the way, I think he's under, there's no way that's only happened 15 times in a year and a half. It's just not the way it works.

You know, I don't, I'm no doctor, but just not the way worse. Speaking of no doctor and speaking of the leftist that we've had on, David Pagman, like, what do you say now, right? What do you say now? Oh, the president is great. He's not on PED. He's burden of proof on you. Again, I mean, shockingly, this came from Jake Tapper. Have you seen him quoting 1984, what I was alluding to yesterday?

The final act of the party is to ask you to set aside the evidence of your eyes and your ears. It's the greatest sacrifice, but the final act of the party. That's coming from Jake Tapper, who was in the room with Joe Biden. And nobody was saying this before the debate, but now they've all seen the light and come to Jesus. And that's insanity. That's untruthful. That's another thing that's being willing to sacrifice to save our democracy. Carl Bernstein didn't know this before the debate.

These reporters didn't know this before the debate. These staffers around Joe Biden didn't know this before the debate. Man, they are toying with every foundational element of this country, including our national security. I did see another, who was it, Democrat. I think it was Jay Johnson. You know, what was he, former DHS Secretary Jay Johnson under Obama? say, I'm fine voting for Biden because he'll have all these people around him. So now, meaning good people, good handlers, good chief of staff.

By the way, I think a lot of people probably instinctually who are going to stick with Biden are thinking that down deep. Oh, he'll be supported. So let me just get this straight. I just want to see if I understand what you're arguing to me. In order to save democracy, we're going to lean on an oligarchy, unelected oligarchy. There's a lot of things we're doing to save democracy. And the point I'm coming back to in the end is, I wonder what you won't do.

to quote-unquote save democracy. I wonder what you won't do to stop Donald Trump. Because increasingly, it feels like the answer is, I will do everything, everything. And over the next couple of months, it feels like we should expect anything and everything, something bad, a dystopia, under the banner of saved democracy. Can I, can we here on the Will Cain Show, save U.S. soccer? It's important to me. It's important. No, it's important.

Come on, it's important to the United States. Next on the Will Cain Show. It is time to take the quiz. It's five questions in less than five minutes. We ask people on the streets of New York City to play along. Let's see how you do. Take the quiz every day at the quiz.com. Then come back here to see how you did.

Thank you for taking the quiz. It's almost Independence Day. Maybe we should watch Independence Day.

On Facebook, Jim Cedar says, President Biden is not in a right, right. state of mind and not able to run our country.

Over on YouTube, Rodney Miller says, Joe Biden looks like his ice cream truck blew up. I don't get that one. I don't know why it has to be an ice cream truck, but something blew up in his face. But why is ice cream orange? Because what does that have to do with you? Orange Sherbert.

So you hear ice cream and your mind goes to Orange Sherbert? Yeah. I would think, like, his makeup kit blew up, or I don't know. I don't know. It just, it made sense to me instantly. I was just like, oh, yeah, Orrin Sherbert from the ice cream truck or orange ice cream.

Like, if we went to an ice cream shop, the four of us right now. Yeah. If you give me 10 orders, Orange Sherbert doesn't enter the top 10. I don't know. Are one of you in Orange Sherbert, would you go Orange Sherbert under any circumstances? Like, I give you five picks. Does it make your top five? No, top 10, yes.

Top 10? Yeah. Orrin Sherbert? Yeah. Do we even have foreign sherbert? I mean, they drop off after like six or seven choices. They get real, they get real colory and funky. You think the slim, pickings get slim?

One thing about ice cream is you can overdo it, I will say. You think you're going to go for the moose tracks, you know, and then next thing you know, you're debating the Orange Sherbert, and then you realize the moose tracks is just doing a little too much. Colonel Ingus on YouTube says, Trump doesn't have to worry about the incompetent dims. It's going to be the Republicans he has to watch. And Snowkeeper says, yes, Biden is running as a sure win for Trump. Let him run.

I believe we have some interesting polling that has come out. Just recently, Young Establishment, James, always a finger on the pulse of politics, gave us a poll. What is it, young establishment? Trump is up since. He's up six on Biden nationally, CNN poll. Although only up by two on Kamala Harris. He beats all the other potential Dems, but Kamala pulled a lot better than that poll than expected.

You just have to have her talk soon. Yeah, that'll go back up. Very true. She's out in these streets. That's what she called, you know, she's in these streets. Girl, they not like us. That's what she told Taraji Henderson before the BET Awards. Yeah, don't worry about Kamala.

Kamala will handle her own polling. Can we save U.S. soccer before you inundate the comments with who cares? Just hear me out. I root for USA. Man, it could be curling. I root for USA, all right? Jingoistic that way. Like the Olympics.

And I do like soccer. My boys play soccer. Now here's what we always hear. and we hear it inside the Will Cain Show. Oh, it's a sport for girls. It's a sissy sport. No one cares about soccer, yada, yada, yada. Okay, whatever, dude.

I mean, I don't even, there's not, what am I going to say? United States lost last night to Uruguay. That was very fancy of me. I usually say Uruguay. United States lost to Uruguay. It horrificallyed game. If anybody watched it, I mean, it felt on the edge of corruption. It was really bad.

And I know, I know. I bellyache about refereed. when it comes to my teams. It's part of the privilege of being a fan. But this one was like universally. Everybody's like, wow, this is really bad. Christian Polisik, United States, you know, top player, our star, went to shake hands with the, right after the game. The ref wouldn't shake hands with Polisik. Just super odd. But the point is the United States shouldn't have been in this position anyway. They shouldn't have needed to win against Uruguay, who's a better team, but we

should be able to beat them. It's what we're supposed to be. It's supposed to be ready to arrive at the scene of competing with Brazil and Argentina. And we can't beat Panama. We couldn't beat Panama, and that's why we're out of Copa America. And the point is, we've been talking about this now since the 1970s. When are we going to arrive? When are we going to be good enough? When are we – we don't have to be a top five, but when are we going to be a real competitor in the world of soccer? And we should be. It's an embarrassment. The United States has 330 million people. It's enough people that we can get good at anything and everything. All right, now, maybe the argument is, well, we can get good at individual sports.

Out of 330 million people, we can find... How many people are on a curling team? Like four? I don't know. We can find four curlers. We can find one ski jumper. We can find whatever that other countries are more passionate and culturally devoted to. I always do find that fascinating.

Why is Norway always the best at ski jumping? Jamaica, despite per capita, always the best at sprinting. But when it comes to the world of soccer, we know that everyone else is super dedicated culturally, and we're not. But it doesn't matter. Out of 330 million people, we should be able to find the athletes and the dedication and the training good enough to compete on the world. That is something that Alexei Lawless passionately laid out famous U.S. men's national team player from the 1990s and Fox Sports Soccer Analyst laid out right here on the Wilcane Show. I'm sick of making excuses and I'm sick of whining. And when it comes to this U.S. team, they have been given everything.

By the way, from a very young age, and this is not begrudging by any stretch of the imagination. I think that they are worth it given their ability and their talent and the depth that we now have. But with that comes higher expectations. And so I think it is fair for us to expect to see this team do things that have not been done in the past, especially as it relates to 2026, because, well, at the end of day, this is about winning a men's world cup. Well, the only way you're going to win the men's World Cup is by beating the elites of the world and putting yourself in that position.

And too often, when the big games have come up against the elites and teams that are better than us, we have not been able to step up and have those types of seminal moments. And the teams that are worse than us, losing to Panama. Granted, we played with only 10 men because one got kicked off with a red card, 18 minutes into the game. but my boys play soccer so i see the soccer culture world and it is dedicated there is a lot of you can talk about all the problems and there are pay to play so forth a lot of really good athletes playing soccer and you know two days young staffs and james tinfoil when we were

younger like two days was saying earlier today it was all like the you said stoners you're not going to be good at it. I don't think you're going to be good at any sport if you're a full on stoner. But the soccer dudes were a little different. You know, they were a little alternative. I'm just here to tell you, the kids that play against my sons, both in New York and in Dallas, these are not the third-picking athletes. You know, these aren't the kids that washed out at football, right? Or washed out at lacrosse. These are kids that chose to to be in the soccer at a young age. Chos, right?

And as such, there's enough alpha mentality. It's not like, oh, they're the soft kids. No, no. So I don't understand. I see James making faces. I don't know. Have you been around the travel baseball circuit or the travel football circuit? You just think they're just bigger alpha dudes, huh?

You're in Texas, so you're getting the best of the best. of what of the athletes the athletes football players of all those sports yeah across the board

I will say my kid's school right now like if you you know I live in Dallas in Texas at large obviously football football lacrosse is rising so fast lacrosse

like way above baseball in Dallas it may be more rural areas maybe more rural areas it's baseball second lacrosse is getting so popular man of like the stud athletes choosing in many cases to walk away from football to pursue lacrosse and soccer is not as cool true like you know letter jacket cool like what's the yeah soccer's not as cool that is 100% true but back to the 330 million thing there's enough that the dudes playing soccer are like legit athletes so i don't understand why why we're

we can't hone that percentage of our population into competing with. Panama, beating Panama, smoking Panama. How many people live in Denmark? You know? Switzerland. We could buy those countries. It's just no excuse. It's because I think you were talking about with Alexi Lawless or somebody on their show recently.

It's because you're playing so many different sports and you're not focusing just on soccer. You know, if you all these guys... That's not true, though, anymore. Yeah, but I don't know. We always talk about specialization. It's a problem. We always, oh, everybody specializes, baseball, soccer. Everybody does now.

Yeah. That's what they do. I don't know. From a young age. No, but there's a lot of guys in men and women, sorry, in the United States who are playing, trying all the different sports from the beginning, like just trying tennis, soccer, lacrosse, everything. You try it and not focusing at such a young age on one thing, which I think is different overseas in, say,

England or France or something like that. We've boomeranked back. to what? I think a lot of parents have realized that let's throw all our eggs in one sport was probably not such a great idea when it comes to injury as well as things that other sports will help you with.

I guess we don't have kids, but yeah. We have not boomerings back. 24-year-old days. We have not boomeranged back. No, people are all in on one sport. They are. For better or worse, they just are. The only kids that get away with it are the extremely good athletes that can walk into any time whenever they want.

It's kind of one of those weird things. And then we talked, the image that James has painted of himself, I'm just going to tell you something, you better be an absolute stud. If we ever get in any type of athletic situation, you better be, the other three of us better be going, how did you not go pro? Because you are fashioning an image for yourself that is out of hand. out of hand I'm waiting on the invite I'm waiting on the invite there we go

well it's everybody's super excited to send the invite too um the the stud athlete can walk into any team at any point

and play any sport but everybody else is specializing and you have my point is in America now you have an ecosystem of specialization where you think the training would be good enough Landon Dodman made the argument to us last week that is too focused on winning and not enough in development.

Maybe. That's kind of interesting. You know, who cares about winning tournaments and soccer? You should be trying to produce individual studs. But that would apply to every sport. That would apply to baseball. That would apply to any AAU basketball. It would apply to all of them.

Like, you know, you would think that that would inhibit us in all sports. But we are trying to play catch up in soccer. And culture matters. Culture does matter. Those cultures care more. But again, I'm just playing a numbers game. That's all I keep coming back to. Economy and population.

We have enough to spin off quality competitiveness at any sport we so choose. You know, the rebuttal to me is, why isn't India good at soccer? They got a lot of people. Well, they don't have the economy we have, right? Why isn't China great at basketball? You know, they got enough people. They seem to care about basketball. And what it does is reemphasize culture.

culture it matters what are we doing here height is that what he did with his hands it's no the numbers would show demographically

that I was like don't do that the numbers yeah but again out of a billion Chinamen

you're going to be able to find a few six fivers you know yeah but maybe not enough to filter out

six five athletic understand the game everything you know what I mean um So I don't know. I just don't think we have an excuse.

I'm with Alexi, and I'm tired of it. I don't know if I can fix it. I don't know if you can fix it. What do you got, tinfoil? But we should be good at soccer, period. And we start, number one, let's just get this out of the way. Fire Greg Barhalter. You start there.

You've got to get a new coach. Go ahead, tinfoil. The American, apparently we have a national football, American football team, and we just lost to Japan. So maybe it is possible to, you know for for Asian countries to to come up and beat us at our best you know like didn't we just do this what didn't we just do this in cricket didn't we just beat Pakistan and cricket didn't I yeah yeah they said for us to beat Pakistan in cricket would

be like Pakistan to beat us in basketball it's that big like if we woke up tomorrow and the dream team was together and some Pakistani basketball team smoked us or beat us We'd be like, what in the world just happened? We just did this to Pakistan and cricket. There's only like four nations that care about cricket. If you look at the roster, though. It was all Pakistani and Indian immigrants that now live in the United States. Was it?

It wasn't what we think it is? There's no way. He broke down the roster. You just pull it up and you're like, oh. But shouldn't we do that with soccer? Like, we don't have enough immigrants to come in to do soccer? Like, we have mess in. We do.

Half those dudes are, like, getting, like, passports under the table to play for America, not half. There was a time when it was like that. We've tried to game the system. You know, like, bring over some dudes who, how's your English? Heavily accented? You know, like, football bleno. But, I don't know, man, it's just, and the last thing I want to hear is, who cares? Last thing I want to hear is from young establishment.

James. Go back to your travel baseball circuit. We'll see it. We'll see you, we'll see you, we'll see you at darts in the bar one day.
