It is the Will Kane Show streaming live at Fox News.com on the Fox News YouTube channel and on the Fox News Facebook page, always on demand, every Monday through Thursday at 12 o'clock Eastern
Starting point is 00:01:25 time by subscribe. on YouTube. We're streaming live on YouTube, streaming live on Facebook, and streaming live at Fox News.com. We're also airing on terrestrial radio market to market across this great United States of America. But you can also listen to The Will Kane Show whenever you like by subscribing on Apple or on Spotify. Boys, I went back to New York. I went to your area, Willisha. I went back to the Upper West Side. Of course, I host Fox and Friends every weekend. from New York City. But this week took on a little bit of extra anticipation,
Starting point is 00:02:02 a little bit of extra, shall we say, schadenfreude. I wanted to walk into some of my old, you know, New York City haunts. I wanted to walk into the Amsterdam mailhouse. I wanted to walk into living rooms on the Upper West Side. Just owning it. I just wanted to just, you know, walk in just, uh,
Starting point is 00:02:20 uh, uh, um. Wow. I just wanted to, yeah, I wanted to, I wanted to, I wanted to lean in a little. Someone's feeling fiery. I wanted this victory. But here's what I wanted to tell you. I'm a little disappointed. I am disappointed, not that much of the world is reacting as though some of the people are on TikTok.
Starting point is 00:02:56 I wanted to, I didn't think I would personally encounter the four Bs. You know, it's an online movement to cut men off from sex and cut their hair that's just taken TikTok by storm. I'll not be responding to you. If you are a man, I will not be talking to you. I am going to be promoting the 4B movement from here on out. Care, I don't care. There's scissors. My hair.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Getting it all off. Probably painting a target on my back here, but whatever. At least I live in a state right now that has all of our rights still. And we voted out Brandon Williams. That guy back to Texas. From whence he came, we also voted yes on Prop 1, which will codify into law some equal right protections in the New York State Constitution. So we did that at least. We are embarrassing on the world stage.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Oh, God. I will not be giving my money to the beauty industry anymore. I will not be giving my money to anyone that helps support misogyny and the patriarchy and keeping women down and making women think that we need a look a certain way or be a certain way. She will not be giving away anything to men. So I was a little disappointed. Not that I didn't encounter that in real life, but what I think I have encountered, boys,
Starting point is 00:04:09 is I think I have seen my own Brooklyn brunch crew two days. I think I have seen something that I did not expect to see. And what I've seen is the personalization of a vote. the personalization of disagreement. You know, at the beginning of the end of the election, through the end of last week, I think it could have been said, well, the response to Donald Trump's election is a little bit muted.
Starting point is 00:04:39 There's not protests in the street. But what I feel like that I've encountered now, that I've been to New York, is the simmering disappointment, but also a simmering anger. And I think this is the important point I'm getting to. a simmering personalization of politics, friends, friends who really see this as something between us in a relationship that they do not know if they can maintain relationships with someone who voted for Donald Trump. It's really sad. I'm really disappointed. I've always considered, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:18 politics important, but not who you are. I never thought about it being. an indictment of your moral character, I simply was capable of suggesting that you're wrong. But what's going on right now can threaten to end relationships, is threatening to end relationships, and it's being openly advocated for on MSNBC.
Starting point is 00:05:38 I want to get into all that with story number one. She is the host of Tommy Laren is fearless on outkick.com. Tommy Laren joins us now here on the Will Kane show. Good morning, Tommy. great to talk to you as you can tell i have not cut off my hair i have not gotten a septum piercing which i consider to be the mark of the beast i'm pretty happy this week well and i'm enjoying the liberal
Starting point is 00:06:07 meltdowns i think christmas has come early i really get a kick out of these people absolutely losing their minds even to a greater extent than normal and you know what i hope they keep it coming because it provides us so much entertainment and it sure makes me smile every morning when I get to open up X, open up Instagram, and just watch these people absolutely lose their minds. You know, Tommy, I have to admit, giving in to also the little devil on my shoulder, and I watched MSNBC for 36 hours after the results on Tuesday night. I wanted to watch The View. But I am, as I said, disappointed that so many people have placed politics at the top of their hierarchy of their Maslow,
Starting point is 00:06:52 pyramid of needs, that they see this as a dividing line in who they can maintain a personal relationship with, even family. In fact, I want you to listen to this. This was on MSNBC. And it's not simply crazies on TikTok. This is being advocated for those, at least who are in pursuit of an MD. Do you recommend just from a psychological standpoint being around them? We got the holidays coming up.
Starting point is 00:07:18 So I love that you ask this question because, you know, there is a. push, I think just a societal norm that if somebody is your family, that they are entitled to your time. And I think the answer is absolutely not. So if you are going to a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends, who you know have voted in ways that are against you, like what you said, against your livelihood. And it's completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why. I think this is a product, Tommy, of two things. One, media, mainstream media and social media
Starting point is 00:07:58 driving people literally insane. I think what we're looking at is a mass psychosis in insanity, I've lost my rights. But secondarily, people placing this above all else as though it's all that makes you as a human being, not religion, not faith, not sports, not culture, not family, not friendships. All that matters is how you vote.
Starting point is 00:08:19 and whether or not you voted for Donald Trump? Yeah, so I am going to be a little bit more optimistic because I think that most of these people that are acting this way, I think they exist in two really distinct bubbles. Washington, D.C. media, maybe some New York media, and social media. I think that's it. I don't think these people exist in real life.
Starting point is 00:08:40 I don't think they're going out on a daily basis, interacting with folks. I don't think that they're playing sports. I don't think they're playing pickleball on the weekends. I don't think they're going out to the mall or going out to T.J. Max or Nordstrom Rack on the weekend to find a good bargain. I think these people exist primarily either in media because they're making money to act this way and to advocate for extreme positions because it gives them sound bites.
Starting point is 00:09:02 It gives them attention, which they love, or they exist solely on social media and they don't interact with humans. So when they say, oh, I'm going to cut my hair off or I'm not going to hang out with family members that voted for Trump, I don't know if the demand is their will. I don't know if people are knocking down their door to go date them. I don't know if they're even comfortable interacting with people. I think these are the people that wear masks in the airport to this day, and I don't really think they have much of a social life.
Starting point is 00:09:27 I don't think they're really giving up much. I think that their social life consists of them talking to a camera and posting it and seeing how many views they can get because that's their validation. And I do think there's a psychosis there. I think they're very mad that Trump won. But I think more than that, I think they're just sad within themselves. I think that they're just angry, upset, bitter people.
Starting point is 00:09:48 And you know what? I'd also like to say, well, these people have been in the majority. They've been the Democrat Party that's been in the White House for the last four years. And these people were miserable for the last four years. I didn't see these people excited for the last four years. They got everything that they wanted. They got Joe Biden. They got progressive policies. They got an open border.
Starting point is 00:10:06 They got men and women's sports. And they were still angry. So now they're just a little angrier, I would suggest. That's a great point about the psychosis that really spans administrations, spans policy spans shifts in the culture it's as though the the anger and the resentment is core to the identity it's not really about an outcome there is no rainbow at the end of the road it's always a road of angst because the angst is the identity but i i did believe like you and i'm not suggesting that i've totally changed my position based upon one glorious weekend in new york
Starting point is 00:10:38 city but i did believe a little more like you that this was something you know dominated by social media exclusively within the television screens of mainstream media. But I do see, I did see Tommy, and I have heard, and I know this about you, Tommy, which we share this in common. I have friends across the political spectrum based upon geographic diversity of where I've lived and also because it's not been core to who I define myself as or others as. I don't go into every social setting going, are you a lib or are you conservative? I simply do not.
Starting point is 00:11:10 It will come up, but I will find it interesting. I will find it interesting regardless of which way it turns out. I'll have a debate with you if you're on the left. We'll laugh about the state of the world together if we're both on the right. But I did experience this, at least in part, Tommy, where it's like there's this personalization of it that A is taking it really hard and B, sort of patting themselves on the back for still interacting with someone that they feel like voted against their rights. And I don't really think that I would have reacted the same.
Starting point is 00:11:41 I don't know how you would have felt. But if Donald Trump had lost, I would be disappointed. I would be very disappointed. But I do not think I would look at my fellow American and say, not only do I think you're sexist, racist, racist, and misogynist, but I think that you and I can't be friends, and I need to cut you out of my family. Yeah, you know, I don't really have anybody in my life that would ever do that to me,
Starting point is 00:12:07 whether they're conservative or liberal or somewhere in the middle. But I will tell you something interesting for me is I do have liberal friends who voted for Joe Biden who voted for Hillary Clinton. And I haven't asked them what they did this go around, but I'll tell you this. I have a feeling they voted for Donald Trump, and I'll tell you why. They happen to live in Dallas, Texas, but they also happen to be Jewish. And I think all the things that went on in this country, especially for Jewish Americans who typically vote Democrat, I think this was a change.
Starting point is 00:12:33 And they might not ever wear a mega hat. They might not ever admit that they voted for Donald Trump. But I really do think that for a lot of people, there were some things, this election, that changed their minds. And they might never actually tell me that. secretly believe there's a lot more Trump voters out there this go around, and we saw it really with this landslide victory. But I just do, I do feel like it's different. I remember 2017. I remember how angry people were. I remember the screaming at the sky in the safe spaces, and we're
Starting point is 00:12:59 seeing some of that, but I just don't feel like it's the extent that it was back in 2016 and 2017. I think because it was such an overwhelming victory that even Democrat voters are having to look around and be like, holy crap, there's a lot of Republicans around me that I never newer around me. And since I don't know who they are and where they are, I have to be a little bit more careful with projecting my psychosis. I think that's a good thing. And I think we're trending in the right direction. So this is a fascinating conversation in that are we seeing a divide on the left between the real world and the world that is broadcast? So on broadcast right now, for much of the left, there is a dismissal of this victory as an indictment of
Starting point is 00:13:41 America, racist, bigoted, misogynist America. Juan Williams has a column up today at the Hill, saying basically Latino men are machismo sexists, and that's what's explained the results in this election. You just pointed out your Jewish friends in Dallas. Donald Trump literally, literally, no exaggeration, made gains with every, I believe, every single demographic group, meaning Latino men, Latino women. Everyone's going to talk about Latino men. He got eight percentage points better among Latino women. He did better among black men.
Starting point is 00:14:15 He did better among white women. He did better in every group, including Jews and Muslims. And despite all that evidence, on TV, there's no self-reflection. Well, there's very little self-reflection. It's just triple down, quadruple down on the indictment of America. But do you think in the same way the psychosis is being broadcast, but it's not in your neighborhood? There is some self-reflection, maybe not on broadcast, but there's some self-reflection. reflection in your neighborhood on the left?
Starting point is 00:14:47 Oh, I certainly do. And, you know, I wonder your thoughts on this. When I watch these people melt down and I watch them on a CNN panel or an MSNBC panel calling, you know, saying a boy is a boy, calling that some kind of a slur, or I see people melting down and blaming white women as Joy Reid has done and saying that black women are, you know, they're not going to be in the fight anymore with white women. And I see all this. What part of you thinks this is an act?
Starting point is 00:15:12 because I watch these people, and I do think that there's a psychosis. I do think that Trump broke their brains, but I think a lot of it is that they're playing apart. I don't think that they're actually as angry, and I don't think they hate America as much as they proclaim to hate America. I really don't. I think they're playing apart because they know that that's what they have to do to cut through, I guess, the vanilla of everything else, and I don't believe these people are actually
Starting point is 00:15:35 as disturbed as they appear to be. I think they're doing it to get the attention. And I'm wondering if you think that there's somewhat of that. especially since you spent your time in media at other places that weren't conservative. Do you think some of these people are maybe just putting it on for the camera? So I think that the left is kind of comprised by two different groups of people that are having this battle out in some ways on not only CNN but on MSNBC. And that is there's the politicos of the world.
Starting point is 00:16:03 This is the Ezra Klein's of the world. This is the Joe Scarboroughs of the world who are going to look at this to some extent and see the electoral loss and understand from an economicist. is an O's standpoint, how they need to do better and where they had failed. Then there is the group on the left that identity politics is core to their identity. Now, these people haven't always been part of the leadership movement of the left. And I think these people ascended, beginning with Barack Obama, and reached their apex basically during George Floyd.
Starting point is 00:16:34 We saw it not just on political television, but on sports television, for example. And those people, I think it's almost important. possible to answer, Tommy, because the identity politics is core to their own individual identity. Like, I think that is truly how they see the world and doesn't matter. It's impervious to data and even to a loss. They see the world as a racist, you know, through the lens of identity. And I think that means as a racist. But it's also part of their brand, to your point.
Starting point is 00:17:07 And if you built your brand on this and it's part of your identity, you kind of have to go down. with the Titanic. You're the captain of this ship. What do you have? You don't become Nate Silver from being Joy Reed. You're just going to have to be Joy Reed. Yeah, I think so. And I just think that, you know, there's some of that on the right as well. I've done everything I can to reject that because I don't like being a caricature of myself or playing a role. You know, that's why I've always caught so much heat for being, you know, a pro-choice conservative Trump supporter, which, by the way, think pro-choice Trump supporters helped Donald Trump win this election. I think there's a lot of white suburban women who are kind of like myself, who might be more on the pro-choice side, but
Starting point is 00:17:52 voted for Donald Trump. I think that's a large segment of the gains that he made with women, but that's a side point. I do think you're right. I think some of these people really take it personally, but I also think that they're worried that the Democrat Party is going to abandon them. And I think people that put trans issues above everything else, or they put extreme abortion views above everything else or they put race above everything else. I think that they're realizing that maybe some of the leaders of their party understand if they want to win again, that they can't lead with woke anymore. And I think that they're crying out like, don't forget us, don't forget us. And they're terrified that the Democrat Party might have
Starting point is 00:18:28 come to Jesus moment and they might get sane again by the midterm elections. And they don't want to be forgotten. Like they don't want woke to die. And they're seeing woke slowly die in front of their eyes and without it, to your point, I don't know what they do. I don't think they could breathe without woke. Now on to a story that I think is symbolic of the type of governance you might have gotten from Kamala Harris. Reports are that Kamala Harris raised $1 billion for her campaign for the presidency. She spent roughly, I believe the number is, $1.037 billion. I think I have those numbers right. She is roughly $20 to $37 million. in debt today after a campaign that lasted three to four months spending a billion dollars
Starting point is 00:19:17 I read six million dollars a day on salary alone Tommy she spent a hundred thousand dollars to recreate the call her daddy set in Washington DC which you and I've been in broadcasting and production I honestly don't know how you spent a hundred thousand dollars recreating that set it's not a complicated set. It's not intricate. It looks like a college dorm room. And they spent $100,000 rebuilding that set. Oprah charged her $1 million for their interview, Tommy. One million dollars paid to Oprah. And everyone's pointing out, hey, if you're afraid of the ascendance of Hitler, maybe you do that one for free. How do they spend a billion? how do you spend a billion dollars and still lose but i think also this just reaffirms for me that
Starting point is 00:20:09 the american people made the right choice with donald trump because donald trump is the king of just earned media i mean he's doing things he's getting attention he always has he's using social media he's using podcasts he's not paying for a lot of these he's just him and that just goes to show that he's a businessman and he knows how to run the country like a business and you've got Kamala over there, whose biggest economic policy was price fixing, and they blew through a billion dollars plus, and they still lost? Like, that just shows me that you don't know how to manage money. And the fact that you would pay that much money to Oprah and to build a colored daddy set while people are struggling in the aftermath of hurricanes, by the way, that was right
Starting point is 00:20:46 when she recorded that and taped that was when people were literally dying and drowning. I think it just goes to show how tone-deaf she is, her entire campaign is, the Democrat apparatus is. And I think people that are actually smart in the Democrat Party, even people like Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama, I think they looked at the Kamala campaign and they know that this was just a disaster from start to finish. And I don't think they're surprised at all at how badly she lost. I mean it. If Oprah believes what she sold the American public, that Donald Trump will ruin our democracy, that he's a fascist, that he's the next coming of Hitler, why would you charge Kamala a million dollars for your interview it it just exposes as so many times we learn this
Starting point is 00:21:31 lesson over and over Tommy it's just all a fraud it's just so it's just all a fraud you never even believed he was hitler oh not only that but you know this is also just the hypocrisy of the left on perfect display does Oprah really need more like did she really need that little extra how much money does she have? How many homes does she have? How many homes has she opened up to the illegal immigrants that this party wants to welcome across our southern border? You know, does she paying 100% in taxes? Because, you know, if you really go by the liberal worldview, it's that everyone should pay their fair share. So not only should you have not charged Kamala, who was your second coming of Christ to save the nation, you shouldn't have charged her to do an interview, which she
Starting point is 00:22:11 botched horribly, by the way. But you should also just be opening up your pocketbook to all of these people that you want to serve, because you want to saddle it on the middle class that actually can't afford it, but then you're charging a million dollars for an interview? I mean, the left could not own itself anymore if it tried, and it's so blatantly obvious to people. Now, the question is, do they change? Do they change course? Do they drop the celebrity endorsements? Do they stop having Beyonce come out and speak for four minutes and pay her just an extreme amount of money? No, I don't think that they do. I think that they triple down on that because I don't think they know how to do anything else. I'm going to get into that in just a moment here coming up on
Starting point is 00:22:49 the Will Kane show, the shift in what is cool and why it is so important to be cool on the left. But you brought up, I believe you brought up natural disasters a moment ago, Tommy. So reporting out of the Daily Wire shows that a FEMA official instructed FEMA employees during Hurricane Haleen in Florida to skip homes when you're doing your site survey and you're going door to door and you're asking about the needs and what has been lost and how can they help at FEMA, Instructed FEMA employees skip homes with Trump signage in the yard. If they had Trump signage in the yard, no help from FEMA. Now, I just want to point this out as well, Tommy. Here's a New York Times headline from just a few weeks ago. Trump's false claims about the federal response to Hurricane Helene.
Starting point is 00:23:39 The subhead reads as follows. The former president falsely accused the Biden administration of spending disaster funds on migrants and neglecting areas that had voted for Republicans and ignoring a call from a Republican governor. They dismissed that as a conspiracy and a lie from Donald Trump, now reporting from the Daily Wire. That's exactly what happened at FEMA. Yeah, I don't expect a retraction anytime soon,
Starting point is 00:24:05 but there's been so many incidents of this. We almost have to go back. It wasn't that long ago, but we have to flip through all the conspiracy theories that turned out to be true. But that was, you know, a great one. There were so many people that were absolutely lambassing conservatives that were talking about the plight of people in North Carolina, worried that they wouldn't be able to get out and vote, worried about what the FEMA coverage would be.
Starting point is 00:24:24 And we'd hear reports from people on the ground. You obviously on Fox and Friends weekend heard it, you know, day after day covering this, that people were like, where is the government? We haven't seen anybody. Where are they at? They're staying in hotels. We're sitting here without electricity. Where are the people? And time and time again, when you'd hear real stories from people who are truly suffering,
Starting point is 00:24:44 and wondering where the government was, we would absolutely just be chastised for bringing that up. Like that was misinformation, disinformation. And here, once again, we've got somebody who was telling people, hey, avoid those Trump houses. And another point to this story that I think is interesting, and it's a small detail. But when I saw this come out over the weekend
Starting point is 00:25:03 and I saw the news headlines about it from different sources, the little clip, the little graphic that they had to talk about this incident of this FEMA worker, it had just like a generic photo of FEMA on it, or it had the director of FEMA on it, who happens to be a white woman, the administrator. They didn't show the actual woman who did it. They're going to great lengths to keep this woman's identity secret.
Starting point is 00:25:25 I wonder why. Well, I wonder why. Well, speaking of this idea of getting your news from the New York Times, getting false news, and in the conversation you know I've been having about whether or not there's something different happening on the ground on the left and what's happening online or on TV, on the left, I want to share with you,
Starting point is 00:25:44 this clip, Tommy from David Packman, he is a YouTuber on the left. He's been here before on the Will Kane show. And he's complaining basically about accountability. Basically, the audience has said, enough, enough of your disinformation. Watch this, Tommy. There is something going on that is terrifying me. When I woke up this morning, we had lost 5,000 YouTube subscribers. compared to where we were last night.
Starting point is 00:26:17 What is it that is going on? Here is a graphic. As you can see, subscribers just go up, up, up, up, up, and they are down. It is not just YouTube subscribers. We are seeing record cancellations of paid memberships, record cancellations. These are the people that keep the show running. Now, Tommy, I don't know if this has... caused him to look in the mirror,
Starting point is 00:26:46 but I've been talking to you today about the conversations I've had with those friends who are on the left. My biggest takeaway is you've got to improve your information bubble. You've got to improve your information flow because it has given you a false view of the world.
Starting point is 00:27:02 You're not living in reality. And that's part of why it feels this way this week for you on the left because you're blindsided. You believe that your rights are, by the way, going to be rescinded the day out. after a presidential election. And it's driving you to insanity.
Starting point is 00:27:18 This right here, if this is true, if this is happening, this is a pivot towards sanity, I think, on the left. Yeah, I also think that there are folks who are Democrat voters or even Kamala supporters who felt like Kamala was gonna win and they were convinced that Kamala was gonna win. Of course, her team was gonna tell everybody
Starting point is 00:27:38 that they felt like she was gonna win. That's what a campaign team does. But they've been watching liberal media, They've been watching the YouTubers. They've been watching the liberal podcasters, the POD Save America type people. And they were just convinced that there's just no way that Donald Trump could win because Donald Trump's a fascist. He's Hitler. What about the Madison Square Garden rally?
Starting point is 00:27:55 The Puerto Ricans hate Donald Trump. Black Americans hate Donald Trump. Women hate Donald Trump. They were just so convinced that Kamala had to be the victor in this election. And then when Donald Trump won and he won just so overwhelmingly, I think a lot of those folks felt fooled and they felt misled. And that might be why they're rejecting some of these. or YouTubers on the left because they feel like, wow, I've been watching you and I felt like you were leading me in the right direction. And I feel lied to and I feel misled for clicks and
Starting point is 00:28:23 views and subscribers. And I think that's why a lot of these people, they don't know who to trust anymore. I don't expect them to come over to conservative media necessarily or watch Fox News, but maybe give them a few years and let Trump bring down their grocery prices and secure the border. And maybe just maybe those people will be new subscribers on the right. You know, that's exactly what I heard this weekend, Tommy, on Fox and Friends. On Fox and Friends this weekend, I had a former Kamala Harris surrogate. Her name is Lindy Lee. She raised, I don't know how much, but she told me she is a fundraiser and a surrogate has been for Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 00:29:00 And she came to Fox to tell her story about the way not, she's not just a viewer of David Packman, right? This is like a champion of Kamala Harris. And I want you to watch this. This is how she feels now telling this to Fox. This is just an epic disaster. This is a $1 billion disaster. Actually, it was $1 billion, $18 million, I think. Right. There were $20 million or $20 million or $18 million in debt. It's incredible. And I raise millions of that. I have friends that I have to be accountable to and to explain what happened because I told them it was a margin of error race. I was promised, General Malley Dillon promised all of us that Harris would win. She even put videos out saying that Harris would win. I believed her. My donors believed her. And so they wrote massive checks.
Starting point is 00:29:48 I just, I feel like a lot of us were misled. So that's within the campaign. To your point, campaigns are going to paint a false reality. But my hope, Tommy, is I truly, this, I truly do hope this, that people will start to understand that the New York Times and the Washington Post, that CBS and ABC are no different. And I mean this. There are no different things.
Starting point is 00:30:10 than MSNBC. The only difference between MSNBC and CBS is the amount of froth around the muzzle of the barking dog. That's it. They are both suffering from rabies. Yeah, and I would also say, too, that a lot of these people that work at these networks
Starting point is 00:30:30 or maybe even work in the campaign circles, I don't think they talk to regular people. I don't think they talk to average people out there. I think they talk to their friends and they talk to people who think like they do. But they don't think they really get out, and I don't think they actually talk to people in Pennsylvania. I don't think they have conversations with people in the Midwest or in Wisconsin.
Starting point is 00:30:51 I think they talk to the people who already agree with them, who feel the same way, and that's why they were all so convinced. And you'd think they'd learn their lesson from 2016 when they thought Hillary was going to win. You know, they had an excuse that go around, Will. They could say they never saw Donald Trump coming, right? Like, he was an outliers. Like, oh, my God, this reality star from The Apprentice, who has all these golden buildings,
Starting point is 00:31:10 he's going to come in and beat Hillary Clinton. People were shocked. And, you know, you give him a little grace for that. But they didn't see him coming the second time around after they had all this time to prepare. That just tells me that they don't talk to regular folks and maybe they don't go grocery shopping. I love the videos.
Starting point is 00:31:26 There's montages going around. They date back to 2016, but include most recently as well, saying all of these people, Donald Trump will not be president of the United States. He will not be president of the United States, almost willing it into existence. Well, he is going to be president of the United States for a second time. And finally, I want to hit on this with you, Tommy. Trump is beginning to put together his team.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Things are already happening. Hamas is already making noises about looking for a peace deal with Israel. I believe there are reports now that Trump has already spoken to Vladimir Putin. The world is beginning to reposition to the United States led by Donald Trump. And it looks like he's turned to, we know, one of the biggest messiah, as painted in the mainstream media has appointed the first woman ever in U.S. history as Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, who, by the way, as a quick aside, did you know, Susie Wiles, daughter of Pat Summerall, famed NFL broadcaster. Susie Wiles will be chief of staff. It looks like Tom Homan is coming back as borders are. And then there's a lot of discussion about who is going to be there for Secretary of State, maybe Marco Rubio. What are your thoughts right now on the people around Trump? Well, I love this team because this is a Trump team. This is not like what it was in 2016 in the transition, where Donald Trump was the new guy
Starting point is 00:32:47 and he had to rely on all these kind of establishment Republicans. And that was kind of the mandate is that, hey, you know, this guy, we don't know what he's going to do. He's not political. We need to surround him with R&C types. And that was the old R&C, of course. That's what we need to surround him with. I'm not saying some of those people weren't good people, but a lot of them were not
Starting point is 00:33:03 good people. And they weren't Trump people. And they weren't Trump agenda people. They were not America First people. They were typical swamp people that just happened to have an R behind their name. Well, Donald Trump learned his lesson, and he's had many years to learn it. And now he's like, no, I'm bringing in my guys. I'm bringing in the people that I know we're going to get the job done.
Starting point is 00:33:19 I love all the people. I love Stephen Miller. You know, obviously, the new announcement today, deputy chief of staff, great choice there. Susie Wiles, great choice. Elise Stefanik, UN, great choice, although I don't think we should be a part of the UN personally. And then on to Tom Holman, who I think is the best pick of all. Well, honestly, I wish he would have been DHS, even more than borders are. I wish you would have even gotten a bigger role because that's how great I think he is at this.
Starting point is 00:33:44 But they're all people who are not going to make excuses and they're not going to cry their tears and clutch their pearls. They're going to get the job done. So I don't think that he could have made better selections thus far, and I expect more as the weeks go on. All right. She's kicking off here in just a little bit over at Outkick.com. It'll be Tommy Laren is fearless and we always love having Tommy. here on the Will Kane show. Thank you so much, Tommy.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Great to talk to you, Will. And as a last point, I did see you stand up and dance earlier, and I believe you're wearing basketball shorts, and I respect the hustle of the work-from-home basketball shorts for television. It's not basketball shorts, but it is shorts underneath this shirt from Born Primitive, former Navy SEAL, Bear Hamlin, who in just a moment is going to be on the Will Cane Show talking about this type of wear and how you can give back to vets.
Starting point is 00:34:35 But thank you, Tommy, for the wardrobe, for the wardrobe endorsement. Thanks, Tommy. Of course. I'll talk to you later, Will. Check her out. Tommy Leonard is fearless coming up in just a little bit here at outkick.com. Last week, we had show after show, massive numbers, new audience. I hope many of you stayed with us this week as what we're going to do now is something we
Starting point is 00:34:58 weren't capable of doing next week, where we had, I mean, huge guest after huge guest, which is to make you the guest. We're going to bring in your comments as we discuss when did the left lose. Cool. Next on the Will Cain Show. 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 foxacrossamerica.com. It is time to take the quiz. It's five questions and less than five minutes. We ask people on the streets of New York City to play along. Let's see how you do.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Take the quiz every day at thequiz.com. Then come back here to see how you did. Thank you for taking the quiz. I don't think it's important. And yet I recognize it is important to America. Cool. And the left. It's the Will Kane Show streaming live at Fox News.com. on the Fox News YouTube channel and the Fox News Facebook page. We're always here every Monday through Thursday at YouTube and on Facebook. We'd love for you to subscribe on YouTube. The subscription button is in the text description underneath this live stream.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Also underneath this live stream is a comment section where you can join and become a member of the Wallitia. Like Jeanette Byron, who says, Wonderful opportunity to downsize government. I'm excited to see what Trump and his administration can do in the next two years. Jim Dandy says, the cooks are worried people will ignore them now. Talking about much of the reaction on screens, on your phone screen, and on your television screen on the left. Bardowski says, and these are the same smart and intelligent people
Starting point is 00:36:51 while we're the uneducated, got it. And then finally, D.C. Killen Spree says, shave that hair so we know who to avoid. Very good, LMAO. not only is their discussion about shaving their heads and cutting off their boyfriends or their imaginary boyfriends from sex but cutting off relationships and beginning to wear masks so they can identify one another.
Starting point is 00:37:18 The septum nose ring, the big round glasses, the mask coming back to be what they have always been, signifiers, not medical, but fashion statements about where you stand on the political spectrum. Speaking of fashion statements, so let me bring the boys in in New York and Florida for just a moment here on the Will Cain Show. This is something that's been banging around in my head, and I actually think it's huge. I'm not here to tell you that I think it's important to me, but I have to reconcile that I think it's important for America. This is what I mean.
Starting point is 00:37:50 For most of my life, and I'm a bit older than both of you, we don't have young establishment James with us today. But for most of my life, cool has been the soul. province of the left the left has owned all the channels of what is cool they've owned fashion if you wanted to dress in a certain way you looked at someone who dressed a certain way and they were almost inevitably on the left they owned movies Hollywood dominated not just everyone's vision of what might be cool but your dreams and your aspirations and people moved out west and wanted to live in los angeles music was defined by guys like billy arms and Green Day, and you didn't want to be an American idiot.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Now, I obviously did not end up on the left. The way that I ended up, and I've talked about this, as someone who would be self-described as conservative, libertarian on the right, is I got there through two primary mechanisms. One, I read Ayn Rand, and it was very formative in my life. I read Atlas Shrugged, and I read Fountainhead, and those were very philosophically formative for me, and how I looked at myself and how I looked at fellow man. And second, I went to law school at the University of Texas, and I began to understand, yes, the Constitution, but the way that ideas fit with one another. Like, if I believe X, but I also believe Y, what happens if they cancel each other out?
Starting point is 00:39:20 What if you can't reconcile them with one another? How can I hold two contradictory beliefs? And those two forces drove me to see the world through what I would like to think is a logical prism. certainly a principled prism, I began to understand tradition. And as I've grown even more in life, I've understood the value of religion. And all those things have led me to the right. It was never important to me. And I would say it's still not important to me to be cool.
Starting point is 00:39:48 But it is very important to the left to be cool. All that we've talked about in the past was sort of like the cultural foundation of the power of the left. Because I think if your ideas, if your political philosophy, progressivism is always about what's next, what's on trend, how are you ahead, then you have to be defining what's cool to be next. And if you don't have control over what's cool, how can you get people to buy in to progressivism? And something has changed. And the three of us have talked about this on the Will Kane Show. I think it's cool in every way to be on the right. Now, I'm not sitting here telling you that means it's cool to be a Republican.
Starting point is 00:40:29 or that means it's cool to be conservative, because I don't think it's deep, and I don't think that what's cool is principled. But if you look at frat boys and country music and even fashion, if you look at the rise of like the bussing with the boys, barstool podcast world with Donald Trump, that's defining what's cool. And I don't think that's a big deal to the right.
Starting point is 00:40:51 It's not a big deal to me, but I do think that's a big deal to the left to lose the power of cool. think two a days? Well, I was just wondering, do you think it changed for exactly that reason because for so long it has been on the left that everyone, you know, they wanted that change, they wanted something new. To be, you know, younger and conservative was never a thing when I was growing up. So now I think, like, to be opposite, it's kind of cool now to do the opposite thing, which is out of the zeitgeist. I think it's a product of absurdity. I just think the left
Starting point is 00:41:27 became an absurd version of itself. You know the old saying. It's like, if you're conservative before the age of 25, you don't have a heart. And if you're liberal after the age of 25, you don't have a brain. That's the old saying. Now what we see is a huge rise in people under the age of 25 who are conservative. And I do think a lot of it is reactionary, meaning if the left became an absurdity of itself, then much of this is like, well, I'm not that.
Starting point is 00:41:57 I'm not septum ring. I'm not gender fluidity. I'm not everything is racist. I'm not pronouns. And I do think a lot of that from the left ceded what is cool to the right. And, for I'll just say before I go to you, you need evidence of this?
Starting point is 00:42:15 All the people that used to define what is cool not only today are impotent and powerless, but I don't think they're even seen of as cool. What I mean by that is, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Oprah, Beyonce, Cardi B, all of the celebrity endorsements that got behind Kamala Harris not only had no power to influence people, I think people kind of laughed at them.
Starting point is 00:42:41 I don't think people looked at them and like, ooh, that's cool. I want to do what, I want to listen to Cardi B, tinfoil. I think that, you know, Dan has a really good point, But I think what happened is, like, if you, if you closed your, if you were around 20 years ago and you were a Democrat and you closed your eyes and you saw that this candidate, you know, a nameless candidate 20 years from now is going to run on this platform that Donald Trump ran on, I think that you're looking at a center left platform. I think they would have been very happy to have that candidate elected president. I think that that absurdity that they, the left went to has pushed so many people from the, left to the right, and that's why the right is cool now is not necessarily the conservatism has become cool. I think that it was just the absurdity levels have just gotten out of control. And here's what's important about what you're saying, and I do think this is important. The two big takeaways from this is not just neither of them are a discussion of like,
Starting point is 00:43:44 oh, let's talk about what is cool. It's like two things. One, Andrew Bribar used to talk about culture is downstream from, or upstream from politics. Politics is downstream from culture. This is important because, one, the left, as I've said already, needs to be in control of what is cool to continue to push progressivism. It's untethered from principle. That's just by definition progressivism is untethered from tradition and principle. And therefore, in order to have power, it has to have the irrational emotional attachment to bring people in, and I think being cool, fitting in, being hip, being on trend, not being stodgy, not being Tucker Carlson of the 90s bow tie, not being the dad in footloose telling kids to quit dancing, was very important to
Starting point is 00:44:35 the left. That's how you sold progressivism. But the second big takeaway I'm offering you here today is this, that there's been a lot of wins for Donald Trump and for the the right. Be careful with now being cool because it is untethered to principle and it does go back and forth. And a lot of these people, maybe they're the Joe Rogan types, maybe the Theo Vaughn types, maybe they're the busing with the boys types are here today but could be gone tomorrow if what is cool shifts. And that's why I do think Breitbart is right that politics is downstream from culture and why the right needs to play in culture. But you have to be able to. to migrate people from being cool into being principled into understanding how the left became
Starting point is 00:45:23 an absurd version of itself because it was inevitable it was always going to be the case and you have to be tied to principle and that's how you keep this longer coalition on the right all right coming up it's veterans day and i have a very cool story to share with you and something very cool to show you I'm going to bring in a Marine Corps sergeant and a former Navy SEAL for a story and a movement in just a moment here on the Will Cain Show. Hey, I'm Trey Gowdy host of the Trey Gowdy podcast. I hope you will join me every Tuesday and Thursday
Starting point is 00:45:58 as we navigate life together and hopefully find ourselves a little bit better on the other side. Listen and follow now at foxnewspodcast.com. A very cool story. movement and a cool box I'm about to open for you here on the Wilcane show. Streaming live at foxnews.com on the Fox News YouTube channel and the Fox News Facebook page. Big audience with us again today. Glad to have you after last week's huge additions of the Will Kane show.
Starting point is 00:46:30 Make sure you hit subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or rejoin us every Monday through Thursday right here on the Wilcane show. But joining me now, as it is Veterans Day, two, incredibly impressive. gentlemen, we have Bear Handling. He's a former Navy SEAL, co-founder and CEO of Born Primitive, a veteran-owned apparel company. I'm wearing Born Primitive as we speak here today on the Will Cain Show. And Eddie Wright, he's a Marine veteran,
Starting point is 00:46:58 former sergeant, never former, always a Marine, always a sergeant. He's also with Semperfy and the America Fund, and we're glad to have them both here on the Will Cain Show. Thank you, fellas. Thanks for having us. Eddie, Bear and I go back. I know some of Bear's story, and I want to get into Bear's story,
Starting point is 00:47:20 and I want to get into what I have in front of me here today on the Will Cane Show. But you're both here today with a purpose, and we're going to talk about that purpose for everyone watching, because if you're listening or watching, I promise you you will want to be, and you can be part of that purpose here on Veterans Day. But I would love to start with your story, if we could, Eddie. Tell me a little bit about what brings you here today.
Starting point is 00:47:41 Hi. Thanks for having me on. I'm, you know, as you know, I'm a combat wounded Marine. I was serving with First Reconnaissance Battalion. I was in Fallujah in 2004. I was caught in an ambush. And during course that ambush, I caught a rocket propelled grenade, which took my hands off, unfortunately. But that began a long journey and a relationship with the Semperfying America's Fund. So I've been involved or have been a part of that family since 2004. And Eddie, I believe while you, as you showed us here for anyone listening on podcast or on radio, I might be able to see here, Eddie showed us both of his hands, both of which are missing. And if I have this correct, Eddie, but that wasn't the end of your story when it came to
Starting point is 00:48:32 your service for the United States of America. No, sir, I was able to heal up and the Marine Corps found a a position, you know, in our tradition of having each other's backs, they let me go back to work. So my last year in the Marine Corps after I healed up at the Naval Hospital in Bethes and Walter Reed, I served as an instructor at the Basic School in Quantico, Virginia, at the martial arts center of excellence. And that was a great way to round out my career and go out with my boots on, so to speak, an honor for me. Why was that, Eddie, why was that so important to continue on after 14 months, I believe,
Starting point is 00:49:10 Was it at Walter Reed? Yes, sir. I think I have this correct, Eddie. You're one of the only double amputees to continue in his service after suffering that kind of injury. Why was that so important to you? Well, for me, I'd always wanted to be a Marine since I was a child. And to be a reconnaissance Marine was my dream as well. And so to have that, you know, I'm fortunate enough to have been able to achieve that.
Starting point is 00:49:36 And I was doing that. But, you know, you had the carpet yanked out from underneath you. and you know my dream was cut short and it really meant a lot for the Marine Corps to see value and purpose in me even though I was missing my hands and it was a way to give back because the Marine Corps gave me so much in life well and we're going to get into how you're giving back now so is Bear by the way Bear Handlin's a former Navy SEAL as I mentioned he's CEO born I've known Bear. Bear was on Fox and Friends this weekend. When you left Bear, I was saying, did we just have on Chris Hemsworth? Not sure. Maybe Thor was on Fox and Friends because he looks
Starting point is 00:50:18 like a literal superhero. You know, Bear, we've never talked about this. And I don't want to put you in a position because I know that you're kind of not, you don't talk as much as other guys about your service in the past. But let's, if you wouldn't mind, just kind of start like, what took you to being, like, what took you down the path? I mean, I've hung out with your brother. You've not been to UFC fights, but we never talked. What took you down the path of being a Navy SEAL? Pretty simple. When I was in eighth grade, 9-11 happened, and that planted the seed, that instant that I wanted to eventually, you know, go down that path. And eventually, I went to college, so I delayed the dream a little bit, but I'm doing it when I got out. It just wanted to have
Starting point is 00:50:57 the opportunity to serve my country. Like I know a lot of guys and girls did after 9-11, and it was a privilege to have the opportunity. do you guys I'm going to ask you both because when you know veterans day for a lot of people you know it's a day off right it's a day off perhaps maybe I don't even think everybody gets it off from work from school but before we get into what again both of you are doing here in your quest both of your individual quest but there's a lot of overlap to continue to help veterans as Americans out there and I don't know what the percentage is but I think it's pretty low now of number. number of, and I'm one of them, Americans who have served in the military, meaning this is a pretty small percentage of our population now that is on the front wall defending America. What is it bare to you that you would hope Americans would understand on Veterans Day? Honestly, you know, and I think I can probably speak for Eddie here too. Like, you know, we definitely appreciate the messages on Veterans Day. You know, I've had friends texting me all morning and it's
Starting point is 00:51:59 been awesome. But what I've said, you know, on a few different interviews is I would like America to think about the families of veterans. and thank them because, you know, for guys like me and Eddie, like, we got to live our, you know, a young man's dream, right? We're running around with, you know, machine gun and getting a jump out of planes and things like that. That's what we signed up for, right? It's the families back home that are carrying the real burden, in my opinion, particularly,
Starting point is 00:52:23 you know, those moms that got three kids running around or trying to get them to daycare and the sick kids and broken washing machines and things like that. That would be the message I would want to convey. We have a lot of active duty spouses here at Porn Primitive, so we get to see that firsthand. And I think those are the forgotten heroes. We appreciate the messages, but give them some love, too. I agree with what Bear has to say. I'm glad you bring that up.
Starting point is 00:52:47 It's true. Sometimes people forget that, you know, and in my opinion, and now I get to speak for you, if you don't mind, we have to say thank you for your service to the spouses and the families that support us because they're also serving. and that's what I like about the Semperifying America's Fund because they don't forget about the children, the wives, the husbands, the moms, the dads, the families. It's one big family for all of us.
Starting point is 00:53:13 We take care of each other. So let's do that now. Talk to me about the fund, Eddie. You guys are doing some amazing things. You're helping people after their service in need. And there's also, by the way, I think, a special opportunity for everybody watching and listening now through the end of the year. So tell me a little bit about the Semper Five Fund.
Starting point is 00:53:34 Well, the Semper Five Fund was founded by military spouses. It's mostly staffed by military spouses. They understand the problems that we have and our needs. And, you know, it's not just immediate care or assistance for one particular moment. That really helps out. But in the long run, you know, we still fight this battle. And for me, it's been 20 years since my injuries, 2004 and delusion. Life happens.
Starting point is 00:54:00 And some of us have injuries and we go through things and, you know, things can come up on you when you don't realize it, emergencies or perhaps, you know, you know, you have thoughts and issues that come up and haunt you. And it could be five, 10, 15 years later, but the fund sticks with you. It's not just a one-time assistance. It's a lifetime commitment. And it's important that we keep the fund in our minds as we go on, even in peacetime because of that. And also because, God forbid, we have future conflicts. And as I mentioned, you got something special on right now. So the annual match campaign, it just kicked off for the Semperify Fund, right?
Starting point is 00:54:43 And so you have the Bob and Renee Parsons Foundation and PXE matching every donation made to the fund up to $10 million? That's right. Very generous. So I donate a million right now. They match a million. They will. go for it I realize this was coming out of my mouth
Starting point is 00:55:05 that I put it in the first person I might have got over my skis a little bit right there on a million but maybe somebody watching donates what they can we all add up as a community our whole country we can make it happen
Starting point is 00:55:16 let's max it out absolutely now this is also going on and Bear Hanlon and Borden Primitive are doing this right now through tonight so first bear tell us about what you're doing
Starting point is 00:55:28 through tonight at Born Primitive? Yes, so we're pledging 100% of profits from our site. That's at BornPrimitive.com to pay off $5 million in veteran medical bill debt. So we paid off the first two and a half. We wrote a check in August to get it going. And we're trying to rally everyone to try to get that number to $5 million by midnight Pacific tonight. And, you know, Will, you guys really helped getting us on with Fox yesterday.
Starting point is 00:55:53 And there's been a lot of people helping to amplify the message. So I think if we carry this momentum into the evening, we'll get there. And I've been able to call a lot of these recipients, and it's been absolutely incredible to kind of hear their real-time responses, finding out the good news, that medical bill that was looming over their head and the creditors are calling them and their credit score gets tanked is no longer, particularly as we go right into the holidays. We know that brings a lot of financial stress for families. So we're pretty fired up about it, but we got to end strong.
Starting point is 00:56:24 So you're paying off medical. debt. You're paying off medical debt from all the profits, whatever profits through tonight at Bournemouth. So I got home last night, Bear. I want to share this. I hope Eddie can see in his return. Everybody watching. I didn't expect this bear. First of all, I don't know what you're spending in shipping, but somebody over there, like the CEO like you, you need to figure out what's going on with your shipping bill. Because I got this box in the mail, okay? This thing, I don't know what it weighs, but I'm going 40, a good 40 pounds. And I feel bad for the UPS guy. But, all right, I'm going to see if I can do this where people can see.
Starting point is 00:56:59 This is a wood box. It's engraved on the top, says, we the people. It's beautiful. It smells awesome, by the way, in the living room. And then you open it. And I'm just going to show you. You can't order this. I need to make that clear.
Starting point is 00:57:10 This is not for sale, right, Bear? Yeah, and all orders over 150 today automatically enter you to potential. We're giving away one. So you can't buy it, but if you shop the site and support the give-back cause, you'll be automatically entered. All right, look at this. You open up this big box. Okay, first of all, you've got additions of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights, I believe.
Starting point is 00:57:36 Yeah, Bill of Rights right here. Then inside, you've got two pairs of shoes. You've got the Betsy Ross flag workout shoes, red, white, and blue. You can see the Betsy Ross flag there on the heel of the shoe. And you got the Don't Tread on Me edition as well, black and yellow. and there's the don't tread on me snake and then here is the coolest part of the package i got bear flintlock rifle which i do not know if it's operational my son wanted to know immediately can we pack some gunpowder into this and find out hey will i got the answer for you
Starting point is 00:58:12 right here if you look at my screen it works i do it works yes no does it really yeah we got to make one modification so that that kept it legal for shipping but yes it is a it is a workable pistol if with one tweak so i can get with you on that it is incredible this whole box and by the way here's a little bit of oak embedded into it from the u.s.s. constitution and you've got a quote from benjamin franklin here on the box on the importance of freedom of speech never been more important to point that out here in the u.s so this is awesome stuff i wear a lot of born primitive the shirt i'm wearing now t-shirts workout gears a lot of cool stuff from a company that's taking care of veterans.
Starting point is 00:58:53 It's got to be going good over there, Born Primitive, Bear. Yes, it's been incredible. You know, we have so many people that are sharing this, particularly on social media. That's kind of how it goes viral. And, you know, as you know, we've done a version of this every year. So our customers kind of expected, and we rally them right before the holiday. But this is by far our largest impact to date.
Starting point is 00:59:15 I mean, $5 million in debt is absolutely absurd. But in the best way, right? And we're just very grateful that our customers, you know, support this. And we have people like you helping us amplify the message. And hopefully this kind of brings a message of unity, you know, at a pretty divided time. And I personally think as Americans, we need to be helping each other and not necessarily relying on the government to solve our problems. So hopefully we're setting an example for other companies to follow. And it's been a wild 96 hours.
Starting point is 00:59:46 I'm running on fumes right now, but we got a little bit longer to go to get over the goal line. you know Eddie when Bear was talking about why he wanted to become a seal and he's talking about we get to live the dream as the families you smiled and started laughing when he's talking about you know we get to jump out of airplanes and carry machine guns you know you know I think that something here you are today so I can anticipate the answer to your question but I think I want to ask it because I think that a lot of people would think this to themselves I also think about it for their sons you know to follow down this path like how it's turned out you lost both your hands Eddie right um would you do it all over again of course I would and
Starting point is 01:00:27 you'll hear almost every veteran you talk to will say the same thing because it's a it's a labor of love it's a passion you know I feel I was put on this earth to do that job I wouldn't change a thing and you know when one door closes another door opens and I've met so many beautiful and wonderful people because of my injuries that I wouldn't have met before and I'm very grateful I'm very grateful I'm grateful to be an American and I'm grateful to be an American and I'm I love the support that Americans show. And this is one thing that we all can come together, like Bear said, and stick together. We help each other out regardless of whatever your background is or whatever your beliefs are.
Starting point is 01:01:02 We all are in this fight together. And I'm very proud. And it was really fun. I mean, I really enjoyed it. It was great. I like you highlighting that part. I like you highlighting that part. And not only would you do it again, I love you highlighting back to me.
Starting point is 01:01:18 No, no. and I'm proud, as you should be, of what you've done. You've paid an incredible price, and I think people always look at the price, and I think what's good about what you're highlighting for is, yeah, but the price also came with a reward. Whether that reward is internal, whether or not the relationships you still have in your life, or that reward is knowing who you are and what you've offered to this country. You know, it's easy to see.
Starting point is 01:01:38 It's physically capable of being seen the price that you paid. I think it's important for us to hear, you know, the reward that you got as well for serving America. True. And you know what? We don't see ourselves as victims. I know a lot of people, they have big hearts and, and, you know, they really feel for us to have empathy. But you know what? We hold our heads up high. I'm very proud. I'm sure Bear's very proud of his service, too. And people like the Semperifying America's Fund and the Bob and Renee Parsons Foundation, they're leading from the front and leading from example. And they make it easy for us to help out, help each other. brother. Well, I didn't grow up in a military family. Go ahead. I'm sorry, interrupt. Well, they literally saved lives.
Starting point is 01:02:27 You know, I've been through some tough times, and, you know, sometimes it's dark out there and you're tired, and you've been on a long ruck, so to speak, you know, and, you know, you don't want to quit, but man, you just don't know how long it's going to take. You just want a little breath of fresh air. fresh air. And that's when they come through. When you least expect it, they'll call you. Caseworkers are like family members. And it's almost like they have ESP. You know, right when you need it, you'll get a random phone call. How are you doing, Eddie? Do you need anything? How's it going? And they can help lift you up in those moments of despair. I don't know if I would still be here
Starting point is 01:03:07 for my 13-year-old daughter. If, you know, I didn't have good Americans and good people that supported me when I needed help. And I want to say, if you don't mind, Will, that if there are any veterans listening or spouses or family members, if you think you don't deserve it or somebody else deserves it more, don't think that. Reach out. And if somebody doesn't reach out to you, reach out to the fund. They're here to help us. And it's wonderful to be a part of that organization. So I appreciate you doing that, talking about it from the veterans perspective and talking to veterans. Let me talk to anyone who's maybe not a veteran. And that is I didn't grow up in a military family. And so as such, I didn't grow up ingrained in a military
Starting point is 01:03:52 culture. And one of the great pleasures of my life and working at Fox has been the opportunity to get to know guys like both of you and others who have. And I think that what you both showed us here today in specific ways is ways that we can help, having not served how we can help those that do. Like, you can be a part of this. You can be a part of the Semperify Fund. You can give to it. You can, you know, shop at Born Primitive and give back today and help these guys. Help them with medical bills. Help them, as Eddie's pointed out, and all the things that is being done there at the Semperify Fund. And honestly, we owe it. I mean, because we didn't. We didn't. They did. So we owe it now to do what we can. I mean it. A real pleasure to have the opportunity
Starting point is 01:04:37 to get to know both of you. Eddie, thanks for sharing your story. today with some Will Kane show. And for anyone listening, Eddie, what do they do right now?

Starting point is 01:06:11 Could you see inside this box, how cool this is? That's so sweet. I love that. It's so awesome. And you know, this is the second one he sent me. He sent me an 80th anniversary of D-Day version a few months ago. And look at that. That's sand from Omaha Beach right there.
Starting point is 01:06:27 That's from the previous box he sent me because he has a... I think I've got it right over there. I was very jealous. So he's got the Betsy Raw shoes. I saw him playing with a pistol before he came on and I was like, I'm that sweet and I want one. Here's one right here. The Betsy Ross shoes, the Don't Tread on me shoes, and the freaking D-Day shoes.
