Will Cain Country - Trump "Death Hoax" Sparks Media Frenzy Over His Health (ft. Rachel Campos-Duffy)
Episode Date: September 3, 2025Story #1: Will takes on the bizarre “Trump Is Dead” conspiracy that trended on social media from the Left. From Jen Psaki to Gov. Tim Walz, the media and Democrats latched onto rumors about Presid...ent Donald Trump’s health, reveling in misinformation and wishful thinking. Story #2: UK comedian Graham Linehan was arrested at Heathrow Airport for tweets criticizing trans activism. Will unpacks what Linehan posted, why free speech is collapsing across Europe, and why America’s First Amendment is the last stand for Western civilization. Story #3: Rachel Campos-Duffy, Host of ‘Fox Noticias,’ and Will’s former Co-Host on 'Fox & Friends Weekend,' joins Will in studio (eventually) to cover everything from multigenerational living and grandkids to President Trump’s foreign policy doctrine in Latin America. Campos-Duffy argues that taking down President Maduro in Venezuela could reshape the Western Hemisphere and become President Trump’s defining foreign policy legacy.

right there on YouTube at Will Cain Country.
Today we're coming to you live from New York City.
The crew and I are all together once again here in the friendly confines of 1211 Avenue of the Americas.
We're coming to you again from the Big Apple.
I've got a week I've got to spend up here in New York.
That's why I'm a little less casual.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Yeah.
It's good to be back.
I like the jacket.
Yeah.
It's a good one.
You know, in Dallas, I go to the Dallas studios.
I do Wilcane Country.
I dress casually.
I go home.
And then I change into my formal attire for the Will Kane show.
Unfortunately, here, I have to do it all together at the same time.
So this is where you'll see me a little later today with comedian Rob Schneider.
To talk about what's going on in the UK where his friend has been.
arrested for posting on X.
Make sure you tune in at 4 o'clock Eastern time
for the Will Kane.
What's wrong, Patrick?
Yeah, I mean, I don't even know
whether I'll stop down the show or not.
Why are you shaking your head?
What's wrong with you?
Rob Schneider was supposed to come on our show months ago.
Wow.
And, you know, never got back to me.
So I'm just a little, you know, whatever.
It's fine.
He gets very possessive.
He gets very upset.
What's going on?
here? Like, you know, you come up to New York and everything feels like it's put together
with duct tape and bailing wire. My microphone is falling over. Watch this. It's just, okay.
No, you're good. You're good. I built it that way. It's supposed to do that.
You built it this way? Yeah, yeah, totally. You come to New York, you think it's going to jump off
out of the gates professionally and smoothly, but no, you come to New York and you trip out of the
starting gates. Rough, rough way to try to win the Kentucky Derby. Here we are today with a big day
in China, a day, though, that is being called out by President Donald Trump. Let's get into that
and much more with story number one. You may not know it unless you live inside an information
bubble, but on the left, there is a conspiracy that Donald Trump is dead or dying. It's
illustrated by what right now is trending on X. Take a look. Donald Trump dead, trending on X as we
speak.
This is, good job, two a day's.
That's one we want.
Donald Trump's big post.
I'm just going to lean
into this today.
He can't find it.
I generally don't know what's happening.
See, normally I do this.
When we're in Dallas, I'm
the director. I put up my full
screens and this kind of thing.
Not today. Now it's all on you, two a days.
Roll your eyes. I'm feeling
this is just the start. Look at that.
Trump is dead.
died trending on X. And it's illustrated by posts like this one, where people are proclaiming
that over the long weekend, when Donald Trump didn't make any public appearances, that
he, in fact, died. Or he's on the verge of death. Trump is dead on the verge of death, posted in all
caps, no less than seven times on X, with a picture of people seemingly giving a seance. But
unless you think this is just something happening on social media,
you have seen the likes of people like Jin Saki on MSNBC devote entire segments
to why Donald Trump disappeared over the long Labor Day weekend.
By disappeared, I mean, didn't give a public address, didn't give a press conference,
which you've done on a daily basis last week.
It takes a long Labor Day, a fraction of the time we saw Joe Biden disappear,
and all of a sudden Donald Trump is on the verge of death.
Here's Jen Saki.
That one, that's pretty serious stuff.
Now, just to be clear, we went in just a very quick span there.
We went from Trump saying he hadn't heard about the rumors of his death
to Trump saying he did hear about them from reports.
So then back to Trump saying he hadn't heard anything about any of it
in the span of approximately 60 seconds in the Oval Office today.
Next to Insaki referencing Peter Ducey bringing all this up to Donald Trump.
The left is all talking about the fact that you've died.
Do you understand this?
Do you know this, President Trump?
And he said, no, I haven't heard.
I'm dead.
Here's Peter Ducey.
But about a big viral social media trend over the weekend.
How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead?
Do you see that?
No.
People didn't see it for a couple days.
1.3 million user engagements as of Saturday morning about your demise.
Really?
I didn't see that.
You know, I have heard it's sort of crazy.
But last week I did numerous.
news conferences, all successful. They went very well, like this is going very well. And then
I didn't do any for two days. And they said, there must be something wrong with him.
Biden wouldn't do him for months. You wouldn't see him. And nobody ever said there was ever
anything wrong with him. And we know he wasn't in the greatest of shape.
Jinzaki seems to think it's revealing that he said, no, I hadn't heard about the fact that I'm
dead. And then he went on to address it as though he had heard. What she, the information bubble that
these people, it's not a, the misinformation bubble that these people are living in,
the world of insanity and conspiracy is so hermetically sealed tight that they can't
understand how somebody wouldn't understand the latest iteration. I hadn't heard that.
Until Peter Ducey asked Donald Trump, I hadn't heard that there was actually a rumor that he
was dead. I did start to see stuff bubbling up that, oh, there's something wrong with President
Trump. He's not doing well. One of you ever, I think it was Keith Oberman. One of you ever seen
this narcissist disappear for a couple of days over the holiday weekend.
So I knew something was coming out, but I didn't realize they'd carry it all the way to
he's dead or on the verge of dying.
So sorry, Jin Saki if President Trump wasn't up on the latest hourly update on your conspiracy.
But it says quite something about you, your trustworthiness, how seriously you should be taken,
that your news program is nothing more than a trend on X.
and Jin Saki is not alone.
Maggie Haberman of the New York Times
suggested Donald Trump is hiding something
about his health.
Chuck Todd, formerly of NBC,
said the same.
Donald Trump is hiding something
about his health.
Now set aside that there is certainly
no credibility to any of these individuals.
That credibility has long been incinerated
over years.
Set aside that they have no credibility.
What you're beginning to witness
is not just misinformation and conspiracy,
which you are beginning to witness is wishful thinking.
There's a zest, a lust for the outcome in these conversations.
In part, because all of politics is tit for tad, after years of covering up for Joe Biden's mental frailties,
they want to show they're on it now and on it with Donald Trump.
But it's even darker than that.
There's a zest for what if we could actually get beyond Donald Trump?
Don't doubt me. I'm not just reading between the lines. You can hear it in their words.
Let's keep escalating up the ladder of esteem. From X-Trens to television hosts to a vice-presidential
candidate, Tim Walts said this over the weekend.
You get up in the morning and you doom scroll through things and although I will say this,
the last few days you woke up thinking there might be news. Just saying,
Just saying, there will be news sometimes, just so you know, there will be news.
You can't simply hate the narrative and the media enough.
What you hear now is wishful thinking that Donald Trump is dead.
And of course that you would.
This is where it was all headed.
And there's no breaks on this train.
You haven't arrived at the station.
Where does it go from here?
we know there have been assassination attempts on Donald Trump's life.
Wishful thinking, we've seen people like Brandon Johnson, the mayor of Chicago, and J.B. Pritzker,
the governor of Chicago, talk about people stepping up against ICE, people standing up against the National Guard.
You heard this from people in elected officials in Massachusetts as well.
They're escalating. They're escalating their insanity.
Here, listen to this from Brandon Johnson.
are you prepared to defend this land this land that was built by slaves a land that was built by indigenous people a land that is built by workers are you prepared to defend this land
are you prepared to defend this land he's talking about the national guard coming to fight crime in chicago he's asking people to step up with force defend their city against the united states
government. That, I believe, fits the textbook definition of a call for insurrection.
After all these years of talk about insurrection, you're now hearing the rhetoric directly
calling for insurrection. So whether or not they wish for Donald Trump's death,
they conspire that he's on the verge of death. Their heightened rhetoric asking you to step
up against the United States government, where is the break on this train? Again, you haven't arrived
at the station. This only gets worse from here. One of my worst predictions, one of my coldest takes
ever was that there would be fatigue and moving on after Donald Trump defeated Joe Biden.
I was wrong. They are absolutely ratcheting it up, and they've got another three and a half
years to do so. And it's just getting grosser. From politicians to the media,
wishful thinking that the president has passed from the left.

Not one, not two, not three,
five officers waiting for you when you arrive at Heathrow Airport in London.
Why? Because of what you posted on X.

Graham Linen is a comedian.
He's the creator of Father Ted, which is a show in the UK.
He just posted over the last couple of days on his substack the following.
The moment I stepped off the plane at Heathrow, five armed police officers were waiting.
Not one, not two, five.
They escorted me to a private area and told me I was under arrest for three tweets.
In a country where pedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of
control. Where women are assaulted and harassed. Every time they gather to speak, the state has
mobilized five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer for this tweet. And no, I promise you,
I am not making this up. What are the tweets that led to the arrest of this comedian of Graham
Linen? Well, here are some of them. He wrote on X, the following. Put them up two a days. Let's take a look.
there's two or three of these things that he's posted.
He put up one that says if a trans-identified male is in a female-only space,
he is committing a violent abusive act.
Make a scene.
Call the cops.
And if all else fails, punch him in the balls.
It's inflammatory, but it's speech.
How about this one?
This is a photo of a parade, a protest parade,
in the UK, presumably a trans parade,
and he posted a photo you can smell.
And he said it was three.
And so finally he posted,
I hate them, misogynist and homophobes,
F them all.
So for these three posts,
Graham Lyman was arrested in the UK.
Absolutely terrifying.
This has led, by the way,
people like jk rolling of course the author of the harry potter series to write the following she wrote
that this is a black mark on the u.k uh she said what the f has the u.k become this is totalitarianism
utterly deplorable Elon musk has also posted by the way that the u.k has fallen
Western civilization is not just under attack,
but Western civilization is falling in Europe.
And it's falling on multiple levels.
You've seen a mass migration crisis across Europe, Germany, France,
the Scandinavian countries, and the UK.
That's what Linen is referencing when he says,
you've got a pedophile ring of people not being arrested.
We've talked about that here on Wilcane Country.
massive rings
and people don't know this
I was telling somebody
about this past weekend
they don't know about this story
of Pakistani and Afghan
migrants to the UK
who across de-industrialized towns
like Manchester and others
have kidnapped
they all run cabs
and car services
young British girls
12, 13, 14 years old
taking them to houses
held them
captive for some time months on in, give them drugs, and they become toys they pass around
in the community. And I'm not talking about one or two times it's happened. Hundreds, hundreds of
times this has happened. And it has been overlooked and it hasn't been talked about. It hasn't
been prosecuted. And for those that have brought it up, they've been accused of racism.
Now, this has been such a thing bubbling underneath the surface in the UK on the streets
that now it's had to be acknowledged at the highest levels of the government. I believe that
Kier Starmor, the prime minister, has now had to address this.
This is what's going on in the UK.
Not to mention then the foundations and principles of Western civilization like free speech
dying.
Europe has never had a relationship with free speech like we've had in the United States.
They simply haven't.
There is no First Amendment.
There's no cultural belief that you should be able to say what you want short of inciting
violence.
And that's the true in every British colony outside the United States.
It's true in Australia.
It's true in Canada.
We are the lone holdout of Western civilization.
But it hasn't always been easy here.
Why?
Because human nature is such that we want to yell at people that we do not agree with.
Shut up.
And we don't just want to yell.
We want to make somebody else enforce their silence.
It's human nature.
And in the United States, what's protected us from giving into that,
human nature is in part the enshrinement of the First Amendment. But more important than the
instrument of the First Amendment is the cultural belief that we should have free speech. And people
will say that in the United States. But the truth is, down deep, we're like everybody else.
We want to yell shut up. But that is why this foundational pillar of a constitutional
Republic of Western civilization has to be so fought for because it is so tenuous. It's so
tenuous in the soul of man, much less in civilization. And when you see what's happening
in the West, when you see what's happening in the UK, you have to say yourself, what happens
here? If we fall what's left, I use the analogy of we're the Alamo. The problem with the Alamo is
all the dudes died at the Alamo.
Now they did have the Texas Army behind them
and they bought them 13 glorious days to recuperate
to get more troops and ultimately attack Santa Ana
and win independence for the Republic of Texas.
But that's why the Alamo has become this analogy
that everybody uses.
It's the last stand.
Even though they lost that battle.
In Texas, they won the war.
We are the last stand for Western civilization.
Look around. It is falling.
And it's falling by their own hands.
It's suicide.
It's the suicide of the West.
That's the book written by Douglas Murray.
I think that's the title, right?
Suicide of the West.
But yet you see it beginning to happen here.
So in the wake of the Minneapolis shooter, Robert Westman, there was always, there was a big debate in the immediate aftermath.
You know, he's trans.
Is he self-identified woman?
Is he a man?
Because then as his manifesto has been read over and reported on,
Westman expressed some regret for his transition
that he wished, that he knew he never would be able to be a woman,
no matter what was done to him.
I don't know if that's an admission that he's actually a male,
but it left the mainstream media not knowing what to do with his shooting in the beginning.
Is he a straight white male?
Is he a woman by their own standards?
What is he now if he has regrets? Well, NBC posted a correction to the stories that they ran
a week or so ago on this horrible shooting. Here's a correction that was posted on NBC,
August 29th, 2025 at 8.05 a.m. A previous version of this article used the wrong pronoun for
the shooter. She used female pronouns. NBC correcting their original reporting to reflect
the trans identity of Robert Westman.
But here's my question for you.
What's the standard?
Like, we know it's not objectivity.
Objectively, he is a male.
By every biological and factual criteria, he's a male.
So what's the standard?
Self-declaration.
Like, you say you're a female,
so therefore we've got to correct our articles
to reflect that you're a female.
if self-declaration is the standard, what happens when the shooter says, I'm not actually a
female and I regret my transition?
Isn't that a self-decloration that he is a male?
So why are you correcting this something that he can't declare?
Admittedly, he can't declare.
I would love to know.
I would love to have this conversation with somebody from NBC in their editorial standards.
Why did you correct it to she?
Well, because he identified as a she.
But did he identify as a she?
because he admitted that he can't be a she
and he regretted his transition.
Isn't that an admission that he is a male?
So by your very own standard,
it would be incorrect to call him a she.
Of course, if you're listening to this
and you're ready to pull your head out,
you're like, Will, why are you even entertaining this?
This is all.
And you'd be right, because I'm rationalizing insanity.
Because that is the standard.
The standard isn't self-decloration.
The standard certainly isn't objectivity.
the standard is insanity
must find the most insane position
and adopt that as critical thinking
adopt that as reality
we do have the first amendment
but thank God because right now
I would suggest you the culture of free speech
in the United States is also rotting away
yeah sure
NBC should be able to say whatever they want
but we can't take them seriously.
They're not a real news organization.
None of these people are real news organizations
when their standard is reinforcing insanity.
I talked a little bit earlier about wishful thinking
when it comes to Donald Trump's death.
In the wake of Texas's loss to Ohio State,
I think that we've seen a lot of wishful thinking
and bringing two a day's Dan and tinfoil pat
when it comes to Texas's performance
and most notably and specifically the performance of Wonderkind Arch Manning.
We haven't talked about this since the weekend.
I told you about what my experience was in Columbus during the game.
By the way, did I say this?
There's a little of reputation.
I'm going to let all my friends in Ohio know.
There is a reputation.
Not a lot of Texas fans wanted to go to this game.
I talked a lot of my buddies, you're going, no, I'm not going.
A lot of them went in 2005, 06.
and they did not feel like the Buckeye fans were friendly.
You don't want friendly.
You don't want friendly enemies.
Well, what, what?
I'm friendly.
I'm trying to be nice.
I'm not using more colorful language that might have been used.
Here's my experience.
I thought pregame, everybody was super friendly.
Coming up to me, saying hi, good luck to your team.
We're going to beat you.
It was all great.
I went to a bar.
The varsity club, right outside of, right outside the stadium.
I've been there.
You've been there?
Yeah, yeah.
It was cool.
My family's from Ohio.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
Just there with the people.
Yeah.
The students, the people.
The wrong people.
Why?
Ohio State fans.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But there I was, in enemy territory.
The longer I was at the bar, the more tense interactions I found.
Like when I was walking out of the bar, there was a guy, and he didn't know who I was, I don't think.
and he's like, hey, all right, I don't think he did O-H-I-O.
I don't know what he said, but he gave a high-five.
He raised his hand.
You know, like, come on, yeah.
And I started to give him the high-five, and he pulled it back and cussed me.
Were you wearing your stetson and all your stuff?
I wasn't wearing a cowboy hat.
And so then I got, and I just kind of smiled and laughed, whatever.
And then he goes, I'm just kidding, man.
I really hope you guys have a good day, whatever, and he put his hand back up.
And then my head goes, don't do it will.
He's going to do it.
But I did it.
Lucy do.
He pulled it back again.
Oh, no.
He was like, F you.
You got doubled?
I got doubled.
Damn.
But it was fine, and I sat in the Texas section of the game.
I will say, after the game, the tone had changed, and it was much more hostile, which I thought
was a little odd.
Like, you just beat us, and you beat us pretty good, but now you're dancing on the graves.
Now there's people yelling.
There's people cussing as you walk by.
It seems like you should do that pregame and then be a gracious winner after the game.
I don't hate you Ohio State fans.
I don't.
So all the people listening from Ohio, I mean...
I do.
I accept this as college football.
But...
And, you know, I haven't been to Georgia.
I haven't been to an away game at Florida.
I don't know what it's like.
It made you be exactly the same.
And I'm not an away fan when I'm at Texas.
You think Midwestern it would be nicer.
They're known for being nice, Midwesterns.
You know?
Southerners are. Texans are, I can attest, you know, Dallas.
Yeah. Well, it wasn't a nice day for Archmanning. It was a really bad day. That's what I'm talking about. We haven't broken that down yet. And what I'll tell you is it's very, very concerning. I'm very concerned about the performance of Archmanning.
The reason that I'm concerned is here's why. Okay, so you can say, here's a guy who stepped in and his very first,
Real big time start is at the horseshoe in Columbus
against the defending national champions.
An extremely large and hostile crowd.
Of course you're going to be nervous.
Of course it's going to be a tough game.
And when he's throwing passes into the dirt, short, short argument,
that's what that looks like, right?
But on the other hand, I have heard some concerning rumors
that this is a little bit of what he's looked like in practice
all too frequently.
And he's been in the system for two.
years. Like, if you're talking about a way to get a guy ready, he's pretty much had the
perfect path. He has been a backup for two years. He's had a start against Mississippi State.
And I believe the other one was against maybe San Jose State last year. So he's played in two
games. He got to be an understudy to Quinn Ewers. And I did hear some guys saying,
Quinn Ewers' reputation, by the way, is on the rebound. Like all these people saying that
Arch should have been starting over Quinn the last couple years. I mean, Quinn almost beat Ohio
stay in the playoff, right?
And so then you see this performance and you're like, maybe we need to reevaluate how
good Quinn was.
And maybe Quinn will be better in the NFL than everybody's expecting, seventh round
picked by the Miami Dolphins.
But I think you have to give Arch some grace and have to give him some time and it's
going to play over time.
And I am seeing, on the note of wishful thinking, a lot of commentary of people really
enjoying tearing Arch down and saying he's the Nepo baby.
and saying, and this is such an ESPN thing to do.
You guys tore Shedur Sanders down.
Where are you?
Why aren't you tearing Arch Manning down?
It's all about his last name.
Ryan Clark said he's got a six-star last name
and a three-star resume.
And it's just a little bit of wishful thinking.
Well, zest in this that they want it to be the case.
And I do still have faith he's going to make them all look bad.
Like I think running out there after week one
and saying Arch Manning was all hype,
you're really setting yourself up for some cold takes.
The odds are that in five or six weeks,
Arch Manning is one of the best quarterbacks in college football.
Go ahead to it.
Do you call for all those people that are crapping on them now?
Do you call for all of them to apologize if it ends up being very good?
Do I call on them?
I call on you to apologize.
To eat crow live on air.
That's the clip you want. You want that clip on social media?
That's exactly what we want.
I call on you to a little.
apologize.
Arch Manning is one of the top
quarterbacks in college football
week nine. I call on you to apologize.
Is that the clip? That's the clip. There we go.
They better. I'm writing down names. Are we writing down names?
Let's get some names. Yeah, we'll get some names. Yeah. We'll make a list.
I'm sure Stephen A is on the list.
Yeah, there was some other. Someone tweeted.
Who else?
There's got to be some guys on the list.
on the bright side
Hey Texas looks pretty good
Even you can admit that tinfoil pat
Texas's offensive line looks pretty good
Texas's receivers looked pretty good
Texas's receivers looked pretty good
Texas's defense looked pretty good
Everything looked good
but for Arch
And maybe the play call
That was pretty much it
And the play calling
A little iffy on the play calling
I mean Arch made some really dumb decisions
Like he'd be rolling out
And then just shovel pass it to a receiver
Like for no yard gain
It's just like what are you doing?
I don't know
which is odd decisions.
And people were comparing him to Uncle Rico,
and it's true.
Yeah.
I mean, look, man, I'm not going to actually,
when we make our list,
don't write down the people
that compare him to Uncle Rico
because I actually think that was funny
and kind of accurate.
Like his mechanics did look like Uncle Rico,
slinging it from his hip
or something like that.
When he had time, he was bad.
He was really bad,
but everything else was good.
So I'd still think Texas is going to be a problem.
I think they'll be in the playoff.
think. But now you've lost one. I mean, you really can only lose what? Two more?
Three or four more, yeah. Yeah. SEC, baby. I knew he was going to say that. I almost teed him up
for that. Congratulations to you. Look at Florida State. You're back, right? Are you back? He's going to be
insufferable. You're back? It'll be insufferable. Yes. But you don't get to be back. You don't get to
be back on the train. You said you hate it. I'm back on the train. I'm back on the train.
You can't do that. No. No, no, no, no.
It's not, I was never against FSU.
I had major issues with the state of college football as a whole.
So you quit on college football.
And it's, I acknowledge it's a completely different game now.
And it just is what it is.
So I'm going to take it for what it is now and see where we go.
All right.
And you probably don't know this, Dan, but Notre Dame lost Miami.
Oh, they played?
Yeah, you probably don't know.
I know you're a big fan.
Snikes.
I know you're a big fan, but you probably missed that.
No, CJ Carle looked pretty good

I've gotten to know her very well.
Will Rachel show?
What time will she show?

Huh?
It's like that.
Oh.

Oh, worse.
I mean, Pete and I'd be sitting on the couch.
The show would be starting.

We'll see.
Pete and I were just like, we'll just do the show.
And she'd come running in at the very end.
And that's what we expect to happen here, perhaps, in any minute.
Her to come running in.
And I'll bet you she'll be running.

Yeah.
There'll be papers everywhere.
Yeah.
She may sit down.
And I don't know.
And she'll be like, kind of Mark Wahlberg.
breathing. Hey, hey, well.
That's, that's pretty good.
Hey, well.
Yeah, I have a lot to say about Venezuela.
Yeah, I know you do.
I know you do.
Today is what's called the day in China.
It's the 80th anniversary of what they call the Chinese people's war of resistance against
Japanese aggression.
It is their victory over Japan in.
World War II.
President Donald Trump posted today about this celebration in China.
Here's what he had to say.
He said the big question to be answered is whether or not President Xi of China will mention
the massive amount of support and blood that the United States of America gave to China
in order to help it secure its freedom from a very unfriendly foreign invader.
Many Americans died in China's quest for victory.
and glory.
I hope that they are rightfully honored
and remembered for their bravery and sacrifice.
May President Xi
and the wonderful people of China
have a great and lasting day of celebration.
Please give my warmest regards
to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un
as you conspire against the United States of America.
President Donald J. Trump.
What a fascinating post.
Celebrating China's victory.
sort of saying you better recognize the sacrifices of the United States
and give my warmest regards to Putin and Kim Jong-un
as you conspire against the United States.
North Korea and Russia are growing closer and closer to China
and celebrating and putting on military drills together
and something that is incredibly concerning.
What is Donald Trump talking about?
Well, during World War II,
The part of that story that we don't often hear about in America
because we pay so much attention to the European theater
and the war in the South Pacific
is the Japanese invasion of China.
From 1937 to, I believe it's 1944,
the Japanese-Chinese war during World War II
was really some of the bloodiest and most costly
of the entire World War.
15 million Chinese people died.
15 million died in the Japanese invasion.
invasion of China. Japan took over cities like Beijing and Shanghai, and they committed horrific historic
atrocities like the Nanjing massacre, where they killed somewhere between 100 and 300,000 people
in Nanjing. There's also the Nanjing rape, where tens of thousands of Chinese women were
raped and tortured by Japanese soldiers. And that's not just something that happened in Nanjing,
but happened in cities across China. Now, the United States, through the Lindelease Act,
gave hundreds of millions of dollars to China in military aid to support their war.
On top of that, the Flying Tigers fighter squadron downed thousands of Japanese planes over China
supporting the Chinese war against the Japanese.
And then there is, of course, the war in the Pacific,
which diverted Japanese attention and Japanese resources away from China
as the U.S. began to island hop across the Pacific,
ultimately towards Japan.
The United States played a critical role
in ensuring that the Japanese did not win World War II.
And for that, Donald Trump is right.
The Chinese owe the United States a great deal of gratitude.
But as they're celebrating that today in China,
it seems as though it's being celebrated
in a different kind of way by the mainstream media.
This is the Chinese military parade.
on CNN.
We're watching live pictures tonight right now, a massive parade underway in Beijing
as the Chinese President Xi Jinping is showing off his country's arsenal and military
might to the world and to the more than two dozen foreign leaders who were there in
person attending this military parade that includes those from Russia, North Korea, and Iran.
In a speech just a few moments ago, President Xi warned the world needs to choose,
as he put it, quote, between peace and war.
showing off his military might.
That's reflected as well in headlines like this from NBC.
China to stage a show of force with grand military parade attended by Putin and Kim Jong-un.
Politico.
China displays military strength in parade on 80th anniversary of World War II's end.
And CNN.
China showcases military strength at parade as Xi stands alongside Putin and Kim.
Now, that's an interesting framing, especially when you consider the way
that President Trump's parade this past summer in Washington, D.C. was covered by those very same enterprises.
Let's go through it in the same order. NBC.
Nationwide protests loom over Trump's upcoming military parade.
Politico, the surreal historic oddity of Trump's military parade.
CNN.
How Trump got the military parade he always wanted.
There are headlines in framing.
painting Donald Trump as a dictator and celebrating Xi Jinping and China's military might
when they have a parade in Tiananmen Square in 2025.
They hate Donald Trump more than they hate the adversaries of the United States of America.
They hate Donald Trump more than they hate Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, or Xi Jinping.
They hate Donald Trump more than they wish for Trump more.
success for the United States of America.
That military parade today, part of another entry into the media's treatment of Donald Trump
and their outlook on the United States of America.
All right, do we have anywhere in sight at any point in the near future, Rachel Campos Duffy?
We have been told, what did we were told, Patrick?
Ten minutes.
Which was?
They were having some technical issues.
So that was about 10 minutes ago.
So I don't know.
It's fresh out.
This show has been one of our messiest shows.
Great viewership, though.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Well, ask the people.
Ask the Wilicia.
Do they want me to wait for Rachel
or they want me to wind this show up?
Yeah, let's...
I mean, the people asked yesterday
for a reunion with Rachel Campos.
And we're at our highest viewership of the show right now.
Right now?
Yeah.
It's like, we can put a clock on this.
She's on her way right now.
We've been told.
Hold on it.
I want to hear if I can hear her high heels stomping down the floor when she comes.
You've got to run a pole, Dan.
Okay, I'll wait.
Since you're tuned in and you have, and you're here with the viewership.
Okay.
And this is scintillating content that you're a part of.
Killing it.
It's going to put a clock on it.
Should we put a clock on it?
I want you to start a two-minute timer right now.
If Rachel is in this seat within two minutes, we will continue the show.
I want you to hang out if you're watching for two more minutes.
It's gone.
And if she's not, then I end the show.
I have some comments if you want to hear them.
The only way I won't in the show is if I invite in the Willis show as part of this.
But yeah, go ahead and read some of the comments right now.
Okay, Janet Ristoff is saying wait.
Wait?
Yep.
C.C. is saying,
give us an off-the-cuff new segment.
Who asked for that?
KC.
KC. An off-the-cuff new segment.
Mark Odessa is saying, stay.
Okay, I got one. Hold on. I got one for KC.
Right. Did you guys see this number?
This is fascinating. Seriously.
14,000 illegal immigrants have decided to turn around and not approach the United States.
14,000 going the other way.
Did you not want it to be a serious news?
segment. Did you want it to be something lighter?
Oh, no, that's fine.
Okay, but here's what's fascinating.
They've polled them. They've pulled them.
They've pulled the illegal immigrants on why they've turned around,
why they're not coming to the United States.
Do you want to hear the results of the poll?
Look at this. I'm not even looking at notes.
Do you want to do this?
Talk about off the cuff.
It's impressive.
46% attributed their turnaround to change in U.S. policies.
Ooh, I hear something.
49% said they couldn't get into the United States.
Yeah, just sure. Come on in.
Yeah, whenever you're ready.
in. Where are we on the clock, two of days? A minute 30. She came in at a minute 30. We would just put a two
minute clock on you and said if you didn't show up within two minutes, then we were ending the show.
Okay. Here I am. Okay. Frame the show up. There she is. Prove to the audience that Rachel is here.
Are we on? We're on. No, I didn't know. This is how it happens. You are on. They know.
It feels so like ween's world here. It's kind of what it is. It's kind of
Public access television and Wayne's World, Wayne's World, Wayne's World.
Somebody's going to come in with the laundry.
Well, you should have seen what it was when we were waiting on you.
Well, I'm here.
And I said, I had an impression of you that you would come in sounding like Mark Wahlberg, kind of, hey Will.
Running from your set for just doing Notetius.
I was.
I was.
But I'm here.
Okay.
I'm glad to have you.
We'll be right back on Will Kane Country.
On September 5th.
I come down here, we need you.

Welcome back to Will Kane Country.
Good to see you. Last time I saw you was in Dallas.
Yes. I got you great Mexican food, didn't I?
You did. Oh my gosh. That was like amazing, actually.
It really was.
And I tell you, Sean and I went away and went like,
Dallas might be a place for us to think about.
Like literally we love Dallas.
You're going to move to Dallas.
Dallas?
I don't know now, but like, we're still thinking about, like, our future.
Where will we retire?
It won't be Jersey.
The taxes are too high.
So it's got to be somewhere.
Yeah.
So are you, would you consider moving into a community like a, like a retirement community?
That's so not let you know.
Oh, you're right.
Yeah.
You're going to have multiple generations of people cooking for you.
I'm into multi-generation living.
Get this.
This past weekend, I did a segment with a real estate agent on.
on this new trend of like now, now Green Goes are on to multi-generational living
because housing is expensive, people are pooling resources, kind of the immigrant way of doing
stuff.
And it was our highest rated segment of the hour.
On Notetius?
You rated very well on Fox and Friends too this week.
I did?
Yeah, this weekend you rated great.
Every hour you were on, you rated the top of the hour.
But multi-generational living and how to buy a house and pull resources to do it rated very,
very high.
and so I had nine children, so I will never be put in a nursing home or in an old person's, you know, area.
I want to be surrounded by my children.
Okay, but there is something appealing about, hey, four o'clock, we're playing cards.
That doesn't sound appealing to me.
And at 6 p.m. as the sun's going down, everybody's playing pickleball.
Yeah.
And you're going to be social, and you're going to have a good time, and there's activities.
That doesn't sound fun.
Come on.
That doesn't sound fun to me at all.
Also, they say there's a lot of extracurricular activities.
Oh, yeah.
There's a lot of STDs in those communities.
Let's just be really honest.
A lot of a lot of widowers looking to relive.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I've seen the charts.
Have you seen the charts on when you're happiest in life and when you're unhappiest in life?
Like on a macro scale?
Isn't 50 like the happiest?
Lowest.
Oh, really?
It's the lowest.
Why?
You and I are in the...
I feel so great right now.
Well, you know how to dunk on everybody watching.
Are you feeling great too?
Your life is...
I feel good.
You've never had it better.
You're doing the job you love.
You're back in your Texas that you love so much.
You get to go to your kids games on Friday nights.
What are you talking about?
I know.
Here's what the charts say.
Okay.
Two days.
See if you can pull us up and prove it.
You have to listen to what I'm saying.
Okay.
Two days.
I believe the charts say people are happiest around, I believe it's like 23, 24 years old, like right then.
That's right, Ellie.
Right where you are.
And then it kind of starts to be happy.
go down. And again, it's lowest in your late 40s and early 50s. And then it rivals, it spikes
back up, and it rivals 20 through 24 when you're 70. So what do you think? What do you, I have a
theory on what that is. You tell me what you think it is. Okay. Well, I think here's part of it.
I think that it's not, what's the word? It's not resignation. It, like, you know, a lot of people
in our age start to go, they're angsty. I want to achieve this. Or I want to. I want to.
want to achieve that and they might start to realize I'm not going to achieve all the things
that I thought I would. Life's not all full of like promise anymore, right? It sort of is what
it is. But by the time you get to 70, you're like, it is what it is and I'm okay with that.
And I don't have to have like this like what I could. But what do you think it is? I think
that is part of it. You do think it is? I do. And I think gratitude, I think gratitude sets in
sure for a life well lived and for what you have left. I think it's grandkids. You think
grandkids make you super happy? I do. I do. Really? I have one. I want lots. I want lots of
grandkids. And I think you're thinking about the purpose in life. And the purpose in life is
that you live on through the family that you spawn. And the idea of continuation. So I would
love to see this poll that you have, how many of them, the people who are on that spike have
grandkids and and do people who don't have grandkids it could be pickleball although a lot of people
end up injured with pickleball let's not lie about that let's not lie about pickleball let's tell the truth
about pickleball all right what do you have to the nitty gritty what do you have all right so we have 18 to 20
generally high 22 historically high 30 it starts dipping 30 because you get career finances family
responsibility okay so it starts dipping and then 36 people say is the
best age to be.
36, he says.
I don't think you can hear him.
36 is the best age is what that says.
Well, you know, they say women physically peak at 35.
So that can't be true.
That sounds late.
If you're, what's that, what's that, what's that coach that everyone's talking about that's
married to that young girl?
Bill Belchick.
Oh, yeah.
How old is Jordan Hudson?
24.
24.
Yeah.
So, but they say it starts to dip again at 50.
Okay.
And then peak life satisfaction, 70.
There it is.
Peak life satisfaction 70.
I believe that.
I thought we were going to talk about Venezuela.
Of course you did.
Of course you did.
By the way, I literally haven't written down Venezuela,
but now I don't want to.
And I knew I didn't have to prep topics with you.
I do want to talk about Venezuela,
but I want to you right now.
Grandkids.
Let's talk about that for a minute.
I don't see it.
You don't see yourself having grandkids?
No, I do see myself having grandkids.
I don't see them being a huge source of joy.
I'm not saying that they're not.
Maybe because I'm so into being a dad right now, right?
Like, I'm raising my kids.
And there's kind of a sense of ownership to that of like,
and I know it's all wrong, Rachel, like, I'm shaping them.
I'm a potter.
You're not.
No, I'm not.
Mostly it's they're born that way.
I know.
But you know what?
But I don't feel the same level with grandkids.
Like I'm not in charge of how they turn out.
I'm not as invested in the same.
same way?
Look, you're a little younger than me.
A lot, yeah.
A bit.
Enough to where I don't think it's clicked on you yet.
So let me just say this, when I was in my late 20s, you know, 27, 26, I literally, there
was a switch that went on that went.
I'm sick of being single and having to pay for my bills by myself and taking care of this.
I need to find a man.
I need to get married.
And within a couple years I was married.
And it was the same thing.
there was a switch that came on for me that was like grandkids like this didn't exist like when we
first met I didn't have the grand kid itch now you do now I do really and I want lots of them
and so there is something that happens it's it's like your own biological clock if you will
and it will happen it just hasn't happened for you yet I believe what you're saying um only because
my oldest son is a senior in high school and um I've been sad about that like last
year I was sad like generally like there was a little bit of a constant sadness like oh I'm losing
this moment this moment is over I don't ever get this back but now he's a senior I kind of feel like
it's time like I can see him I don't see him as much he's more busy he's got his own life and now
I'm not quite as sad it feels like there's this natural thing happening do you know what happens
with girls when they're about to leave so he's like getting busy and he's going to do stuff
what girls do before they leave for college is they become very mean and I you know
Yeah, and I think it's to make it easier for them to go because then I get mad and then it makes it easier for me to let go as well.
Yeah.
There's something going on there.
Shove that bird out of the nest.
Yes.
And it's not, it doesn't happen gently with girls.
It's like tension so that you just literally go, oh, good, she's going.
Or maybe they get messier.
I don't know what it is, but the tension happens.
Okay, real news.
Yesterday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, President Donald Trump announced from a press conference that they had hit a,
Venezuelan cartel, Trenda, Aragua, cartel boat, shipping drugs in the Caribbean.
Yeah.
They showed the footage of it.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I want to talk about two stories kind of off of that.
One Venezuela, one drug cartels.
Let's talk about first Venezuela, because last time I saw you, first of all, Rachel pitches me
on stories a lot, and you should do this on your show, which I appreciate and love because
you like my show and you say I should be doing these things.
And you've been doing this on Notisius.
Yeah. I don't just pitch Venezuela to you on the weekend show. Not true. I pitch you other stuff. Mostly
Venezuela. Okay. And but you have a theory. You think something big is happening in Venezuela that I think if a regular viewer of Wilcane country or American news in general might not know. So tell me what's happening in Venezuela. I'm going to tell you it's actually meta. It's bigger than Venezuela. It's the entire Western Hemisphere. I think the Trump administration is like you and I talk a lot about manifest destiny. He and I both love history.
And we talk about this stuff.
This is the new manifest destiny, you know, foreign policy, Trump doctrine, if you will.
And it's about controlling and having security over our hemisphere.
Monroe doctrine.
Turning our eyes away from, you know, there was somebody, I talked to somebody who spoke to somebody in the State Department who said,
Europe is so boring.
Everything's, you know, all the actions in Latin America.
And there's a reason.
Donald Trump, since day one, since the first move he made.
in Panama about getting the Chinese out of the canal this is about America saying there's a new
sheriff in town and we are not going to allow cartels or the Chinese which trust me this is a
China move as well because they're involved with the cartels we are not going to allow the Chinese to run
our hemisphere this is our hemisphere and so Donald Trump president Trump I think is making all kinds
of moves to change that dynamic in the western hemisphere and make it safer for us
provide protection for all of the Americas,
but especially the United States of America.
And Nicolas Maduro is sort of the head of the snake
of a transnational cartel that runs, you know,
from his country through Colombia,
through Nicaragua, all the way up to Mexico.
And I spoke, those are many of the bad actors in there.
But there are foreign actors in there involved as well.
Iran and China in particular.
Russia, too.
okay and this matters and this matters I want you so when Donald Trump comes into office when it comes
to foreign policy the American people say we want something that only serves America first we want
these things to serve America first that's the skepticism about Ukraine that's the skepticism about
foreign wars you're not talking about war but in response to that he's accused of being an
isolationist clearly that's not true and clearly this is anti-isolationist however is it America
first to be so concerned with what's happening in
in Central and Southern America?
No, because it's like...
It's not America First, you're saying.
No, no, no, it is America First,
and it's not isolationism.
And it is also not isolationism.
So just think about your own house.
You care about your house.
I know you got guns.
You protect your house.
But if all the houses around you
are filled with drugs and cartels,
that's going to affect you.
Your neighborhood matters to you.
And so this matters to us
in a way that say Ukraine doesn't.
I would say this.
First of all, Nicolas Maduro is clearly in bed with the cartels.
He's running part of this transnational network.
He's also sending oil off to countries, even though we've said you can't do that.
He's sending ghost ships of oil off to China and other places.
So all of these people are acting together.
I believe, well, that when Donald Trump secures the Western atmosphere,
And there's a lot of things happening that people don't know.
For example, Bolivia, Bolivia just had an election where they got rid of the socialists who had been in there for 20 years, hardcore, I would say communists.
And now there's a runoff between two conservatives.
You have what's happening with Miele and Argentina, although Miele won't give up China, just like Panama is pro-America, but they're also deeply embedded with the Chinese.
We have allowed during the Biden years, the State Department used to be about promoting American values and Americans.
commerce. During the Biden years, they didn't do that. They promoted LGBTQ, abortion, and
climate change to the point where businessmen in Latin America, American businessmen doing
business in Latin America, we're like, why won't our own State Department help us with deals
and figuring things out with these countries? Because it was all propaganda and these
social justice issues. Donald Trump comes in and says, no, this is the Americas. We're going to do
commerce with this entire region. There is lots, it's not just the oil in Venezuela, which
we will be able to profit from as well as Venezuela.
There's lithium.
All the stuff that everybody thinks is only in Africa or Eastern Europe.
All of these things that exist in Latin America.
And we should all as a continent, as the Western Hemisphere, do better.
And it matters to us because it's our neighborhood.
And so your thought is Maduro falls.
When Maduro falls, Cuba will fall.
And I predict also Honduras.
Because those are all propped up by Maduro.
who also isolate Petro in Colombia.
And the one who's in the worst situation right now
because she doesn't know what to do is Claudia Scheinbaum.
So Claudia Shinebaum is a communist.
Hardcore communist.
She was to school at Berkeley.
Her family is a long, long time communist, atheists,
really not in tune with her population at all.
But anyway, she won with that.
President of Mexico.
President of Mexico.
She won with the help of the cartels,
just like our predecessor, Amo.
did. So she is in bed with the cartels. I have brought on senators from Mexico onto Fox Notesias and
Fox and Friends who have openly said, and Claudia is very angry about this. She said, they said,
yes, Mexico is a narco state. And Morena, the party of Claudia Scheimbaum, has made deals with
the cartels in order to get into power and maintain power. This is an alliance between the
cartels and Scheinbaum. All of a sudden, now everyone's getting to know about it.
Donald Trump says, I don't like this.
You're going to have to choose, just like Panama is putting Panama in the position.
You've got to choose between the Chinese and us.
He's telling Claudia Scheinbaum, you'll need to cooperate with us to get rid of the cartels.
And she doesn't want to do it.
She's doing the littlest bit to look like she is, but she's not.
She's scared.
So that was the second tentacle off of this bombing of this ship, this Venezuela drug ship.
And that is, Marco Rubio said we're going to wage combat.
That's his words.
wage combat on the Mexican drug cartels.
He, full military power.
He also said full military power.
So what do you think we're going to do?
I mean, there's been rumors of this.
Are we going to send special forces, drones,
whatever, into Mexico to take on the cartels?
I don't know.
What's happening right now is this other pressure campaign
to starve him of his resources.
So as long as those boats are there,
they're not just interdicting.
You're talking about Venezuela.
Venezuela.
I'm talking about Mexico.
Oh, in Mexico.
Okay, so let me just finish on Venice well.
Right there, they're just trying to starve him of his resources, put pressure on him.
They put the $50 million, hoping that he will, somebody around him will either turn him in or he'll get desperate, make a deal with and say, I'll take my money.
People have already seen planes leave.
There's rumors of planes having left with some of his family members and with money.
So who knows what's going to happen there.
I believe he's going to be forced out.
so what we shall see
in Mexico she's using
what Scheimbaum is saying is I am
cooperating with the Americans
but we have national sovereignty
we can't have American boots on the ground
to take out the cartels we can't
you know we're afraid of America which by the way
we haven't been the best like people see
what we did in the Middle East I've had Mexican
podcasters on who say look
we want Trump to get rid of the cartels
we're a little scared because we saw what you guys did
in Iraq we saw what you guys did
with Gaddafi we saw we're afraid of
American interventionism, but we realize our own president won't do the job.
Well, real quick, on that, I've had Mexican drug cartel, former cartel members on my shows
who've said, if we did something militarily, it would be welcomed by the Mexican people.
Yes, 100%.
They want that.
So there's some trepidation.
They're not Libya.
They're not Iraq.
They want, they don't want the narco states.
They want it gone.
I'm just saying there's a little bit in the back of their mind.
We haven't been the best in foreign policy, and they are not dumb.
they see what we've done, dumb stuff.
This is something that should benefit the Mexican people as well as the American people.
And most Mexicans will say, yes, please Donald Trump, come and do it.
So why doesn't Claudia Scheinbaum do it?
She claims it's because of national sovereignty.
But they have a country that's completely controlled by the cartels.
40% of the landmass in Mexico is controlled by the cartels.
So don't tell me you have national sovereignty.
when the president of Mexico
can't move without having to clear it with the cartels.
And when was the last time there was a Mexican president
that wasn't in bed with the cartels?
Hinchin-Tay Fox?
Well, I think they've all had their deals.
I think it's gone on overdrive
since Lopez Obrador
and now her,
there is a very clear,
we've never seen as many of them
assume office in little towns.
We've never seen as many.
And by the way,
the number of murders in Mexico
is astounding.
And it's not like we don't know how to do this in Latin America.
Just look a little south to El Salvador.
We were celebrating two weeks of no homicides here in Washington, D.C.
We just did a story on Fox Notices.
El Salvador just celebrated a thousand days of no homicides.
No, really? No homicides for a thousand days?
A thousand days of no homicides in El Salvador.
So we know how to take on cartels.
I got the government stats in El Salvador.
But we know how to do it.
You have to be harsh and firm and say, we're going to do this.
And if you have the help of the Americans, you can do it rather quickly.
She doesn't want to do it.
Either she's too afraid or she just doesn't want to.
Yeah, the question is, do we do it without her approval?
Like, do, I mean, and I don't know what that means.
That doesn't mean taking up the government.
That means drone strikes.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Or maybe she's in on it and she's going to pretend like she.
raise on the ground.
Maybe she's just publicly saying,
I can't approve of this.
Wink, wink, nod, I don't know.
And then we do her thing.
I don't know.
I don't know what's going to happen.
But I will tell you this.
How we handle Venezuela and Maduro
will send a powerful message to Claudia Shinebaum
of whether or not the Trump administration
will stand for a narco state just south of our borders.
Remember, we're only three hours away from Venezuela.
Mexico's even closer.
Crazy.
And you think that's going to be Donald Trump's legacy, the Western Hemmer's here.
You've told me that.
Taking back the Western Hemmer's.
This is all said and done.
I think it will be his greatest foreign policy achievement.
Without a doubt, it will be his legacy.
Okay.
And yours is grandkids.
And grandkids.
He has a lot of them too.
Okay.
I'm glad you ran in here.
I'm glad we got to catch up.
I'll talk to you after these cameras go off.
But it'll be basically the same kind of conversation.
I can promise you.
It'll go just like this off camera.
