Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning from the Patriot Awards. I've got a fun show for you on this Friday.

Starting point is 00:00:35 at Spotify or on Apple by simply hitting subscribe. We've come to you live this week this Thursday and Friday from the Patriot Awards where I got to sit down with a couple of my buddies or actually stand as they strolled around the lobby along the red carpet
Starting point is 00:00:49 and I hung out with Joey Jones guest host at Fox & Friends Weekend, Fox News contributor, and co-host of Gutfeld and many, many other programs including those at Outkick and Fox, Tyrus. I think it's a fun episode. We get into some guy stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:03 We talk about our mutual friend, Pete Hegseth. I think he'll enjoy. Even with a little bit of Texas-Georgia trash talk, Joey Jones and Tyrus. Here is Joey Jones. All right, thanks. You guys have seen this video. I don't know if you've seen this video going around
Starting point is 00:01:21 of the CEO of United Health Care. Murdered, assassinated, hit man job on the streets of New York City. It's the Will Kane Show streaming live at foxnews.com. Fox News, YouTube, Fox News, Facebook, hit subscribe on Apple, Spotify. And if you're over on X, I hope you'll join us. I've had a vigorous campaign I've been mounting in defense of my friend and former co-host at Fox & Friends, Pete Exit. But while you're there, you can also see this video that I'm talking about of this United Healthcare CEO murdered on the streets of Manhattan.
Starting point is 00:01:58 I'm joined now by Joey Jones. That is a good-looking poncho shirt. You like this? This is a Texas shirt, man. I was wearing a poncho shirt yesterday. This is denim. I'm a fan of denim. Yeah, they came out with them.
Starting point is 00:02:12 I got some colors. Yeah, I'm not big on you. Like, if Joey's wearing it, it's probably like blue or gray. That's kind of where I live. I'll do like a dark green. What are we calling that? Is that teal? Sage, right?
Starting point is 00:02:23 I don't know. It's the best I can go out. Like, I know. I really like it. Um, have you seen that video of this CEO of United Healthcare being murdered on the streets of Manhattan? I have, yeah. So I actually wanted to bring it up with you because you're somebody, not that you're an assassin or a hired hitman, but you know something about war and you know something about firearms. I'm just curious, when you see that video, what are your thoughts? What's your takeaway?
Starting point is 00:02:45 I think it's a lot like the Trump assassination attempt. You're not going to stop having theories put out there and justified in 10 different ways based on what little bit of information they have. And I see that video, I see a guy pull out of a pistol. It looks like it has a suppressor on it. And whatever ammo he's using or whatever suppressor setup he has won't cycle the gun for him. So he shoots and the gun won't eject the old round and put a new one in. So he has to do it himself. Doesn't look like he planned on that happening. So that tells me he didn't even shoot the setup that he brought before that moment.
Starting point is 00:03:17 He gets one shot, center mass, in the back. The next shot's down on the leg. So his marksmanship isn't there. everyone's immediate reaction was he was so calm. It's like, well, you know, normally rational people don't kill people for any reason. So being calm doesn't make you a professional assassin. It may be true that that person was paid to do that, but it's not like this is, you know, the, in my opinion, it's not like this is someone who's done it before.
Starting point is 00:03:42 And so you're talking not necessarily a professional hitman level of competency, but also a cold-blooded assassination, not a moment of. passion type of crime. So if I connect those two dots, I don't know what I'm leaning towards, but I'm leaning towards somebody who planned to do something, but maybe had not done that type of thing before. When I look at it, that's what I see. There's one person, and you know, the reports, Lord help what's true and what isn't, but there's one report that he was seen there basically all night waiting. And so it looks to me like he knew what he was there to do and he wanted to do it, but he probably didn't know what it was going to look like until it happened.
Starting point is 00:04:20 I mean, it's terrible. It's an evil thing to do. I think that leaving spent shell casings and unfired rounds there, because every time he cycled it, he'd cycle a fresh round out to put the next one back in. It's called a double feed or a misfeed. It just shows you he didn't have any type of real experience or proficiency with the gun he was using. And, you know, someone who's planned this out, ready to do it for a while, probably has shot that weapon somewhere.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Joey Jones, Fox and Friends Weekend and Fox and Friends Weekday guest host with me here on the Will Kane show. So I mentioned on X, I've been mounting a vigorous defense of Pete Hegseth, meaning telling the truth. Yeah. That is basically what I tell people who say, hey, Will, you know, we appreciate what you're doing when it comes to Pete. I say, well, I don't feel like I'm doing anything heavy. It's not a big lift, and it's not special. Because I'm talking about a friend. I have firsthand knowledge, and I'm telling the truth.
Starting point is 00:05:20 To me, that's what's done by men. Other men have stepped up. Dan Bongino has done a good job as well, but I think actually one of the best arguments I saw made this week was also from you, Joey, doing what I think men do. And you compared what Pete has done to, or what is being done to Pete, to what has been done to another political figure, Donald Trump. Yeah, so I would have did, because we're in the business
Starting point is 00:05:45 where we understand how people consume information. So I listed the things that they have done against PETA, and I didn't put a name with this. Look, they said he was unqualified. They used a family member against him. It's five or six things. And I said, this is not Pete Hexeth I'm talking about. This is Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:06:02 The point being, any of these senators that have gone around and campaigning with Donald Trump for the last eight years, and I'm not saying ride his coat tails, but I'm kind of saying ride as coattails, riding on the popularity, the populist movement that is Make America Great Again, America first, any of these senators that has taken advantage of that without issue, and then
Starting point is 00:06:20 like a Lindsey Graham, stands in front of a camera and gives a very open-ended, non-committal, I have concerns, is an absolute hypocrite. I mean, that's all they are. And I just put a tweet out, you probably had a chance to see it, but I said, look, I fought in Afghanistan, I fought in Iraq. I watched us bring in new radio systems by the billions of dollars. I watched the F-35 failure money pit. I watched the Osprey debacle.
Starting point is 00:06:44 I watched them justify spending so much money on this war where we were fighting guys that were taking flashlights apart and turning those into bombs. Like that was my job was to be better than the technology our enemy was using. And as this 20-year war went on, their technology got simpler and simpler and simpler and what we needed to defeat it. I could buy at a bass pro shop, a treble hook and some fishing line. That's what I was using to help defeat these IEDs. And so I watched the Defense Department spend so much money, so much needless money, reinventing something like a vehicle with four wheels and a steering wheel since the 1920s, right? Like reinventing things to spend money and feed this complex.
Starting point is 00:07:22 And my point is, quite frankly, if Lindsey Graham has concerns, it may be about losing that. It may be about the fact that Pete could prove that the warfighters will to fight is infinitely more important on the battlefield than the price of his gear. And it may be that the lobbyist who have lobbied so hard have him convinced that Pete is detrimental to that. but his concerns are not over his character. These attacks on Pete are easily, easily proven faults, easily researched, and if you're Lindsey Graham, you need to shut up and have that hearing and ask him questions about what policies he would implement, what the president wants him to do, and how he would do it. Partaking in any of these character assaults on Pete shows just what kind of people they are
Starting point is 00:08:06 up there. And let me tell you some, God forbid, we put a microscope on any of them. And I'm not beating up on Lindsey. He may vote for Pete and he may advocate him, advocate for him behind the scenes. But just being in his position on Senate Armed Services and to stand in front of cameras and give those people any, any food for fodder is absolutely irresponsible, especially as someone who he considers to be, he considers himself to be a leader in our defense of this country. Here, here.
Starting point is 00:08:33 And I would add to that that I don't know how any Republican could look themselves in the mirror or much less look their voters in the eye and say, I voted to approve of Merrick Garland as Attorney General or Lloyd Austin as Secretary of Defense. Or Sam Britton, who's an absolute basket case, and they put him in charge of getting rid of our nuclear waste or managing our nuclear waste. I mean, the list goes on. We've got Rachel Levine, who's absolutely mentally ill, and they just gave that person, I won't misgender them. They gave that human, a military uniform and said, oh, by the way, you're in the Navy now. Here you go.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Here be an admiral because you're brave, because you're. change your gender during your midlife crisis. I'm sorry. But if we want to go on character attacks, the right has plenty of ammo we've never used because that's not who we are. And the problem, though, at this point, is not just those Democrats who put those types of individuals in place. It's the Republicans that voted to confirm them. And now they sit here today with questions about Pete Hegseth. And I think, as Donald Trump Jr. tweeted a few moments ago, if you voted to confirm Lloyd Austin and have questions about Pete Hegseth, you might have problems with your political party. You might be in the wrong political party. You might be a
Starting point is 00:09:43 Democrat. Well, and when I showed, listen, here's the, here's the honest God's truth. A third of those senators will be there two years after Trump. Another third of them won't be reelected until Trump can't be reelected again. Only a third of them has to deal with the midterms that will come up during Trump's time. Their loyalty to President Trump ended the day that President got elected and they held their seat. That's just the truth of every senator looks in the mirror and sees a president looking back at them. That's who they are, their careerists. And maybe we like that. We want them to be statesmen and last a while. Maybe we don't. But this idea that they have some sort of loyalty to President Trump, the Republicans especially are incredibly
Starting point is 00:10:17 in a nice way, independent, and maybe a critical way, selfish when it comes to being in the Senate. And so there's not a lot of opportunity there to say, well, they'll jump on board. Here's what I'll tell you, though. I don't have any problem with them voting to confirm Biden's picks. You have an opportunity to sit there in the hearing and ask questions and get answers and make a vote. But then vote for Trump's picks. There you go. But know that you're not going to get that from Democrats, so you better be on board for the president that you just told the American people deserve to lead this country. You better be on board to let him build his cabinet. And, Joey, I just did this as a monologue at the beginning of the Will Cancho.
Starting point is 00:10:51 But I believe we're at a fragile and unique and special moment in history where the American people embraced the idea of disruption. They embraced Elon Musk. They embraced Donald Trump. And for the Republicans who have taught us how to lose over a decade to stand in the way of that disruption now is a real loss for a moment in history. I didn't elect Joni Ernst. I elected as the American people Donald Trump. That's exactly right. And here's the deal.
Starting point is 00:11:15 You know, you tell me that someone like Pete Higgseth will make our defense weaker. Are you kidding me? Look at where we are. Look at where we are. We have, I just saw a video a couple days ago of an Air Force General talking about the merits of DEI, and then none of that did you talk about proficiency, effectiveness, lethality, unit cohesion. Any of the things that I was taught, you know, now 20 years ago, that made a unit effective. in combat. At the end of the day, if you look at what's happening in Israel and you look at
Starting point is 00:11:41 what's happening in Ukraine, and you look at what's happened against us in Afghanistan, even the modern battlefield, the people who win the battles and the wars are the ones that actually want to be there and fighting it. That's ultimately what it is, because a good amount of snow can take out your technology. Anything can happen. This idea that we're going to spend our way into being that most heavily defended country in the world is Asinon. Pete Hakeseth understands that. I don't think Lindsey Graham does. And I hope, obviously Donald Trump knows it because he's hired Pete. Are you wearing that shirt today?
Starting point is 00:12:13 Is that a white flag of surrender? Oh, you're talking about college football now. I take pity on those that are less fortunate. Oh, you do? Okay. Yeah, you know, so when you beat a team, what, 30-something to, what, 15 in their own home field? All of your drives started on the 25-yard line. Not our fault.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Not our fault. No, listen, it's hard to beat the same team twice. It is. So Texas, Georgia this weekend. an SEC championship game by proxy, it's Will versus Joey. It is hard to be the same team twice, and it's even harder to say what's going to happen three times, because it should be that we meet again in the playoffs for a third meeting. It absolutely can be.
Starting point is 00:12:52 That's the way the bracket, there's bracketology of football now, which is insane to me, but the way it works out, there's a good chance that Georgia and Texas could meet again in the playoffs. And what does that say? You know, that says that it's a completely different game. I think Georgia is exactly where they need to be. We're getting guys back that were healthy. We're getting guys back that were in trouble. A little more DUIs?
Starting point is 00:13:13 Yeah, no, this one was complete false accusations. This one. I like how you emphasize. No, no, this one. And our quarterback hasn't thrown an interception in three games. Now, there was like Mercer or somebody was in there, but still, he hadn't thrown an interception for three games. But, you know, listen, Texas has spent a lot of time waiting on this opportunity,
Starting point is 00:13:32 more so than Georgia in the last 10 years. and it's her first year in the SEC. I think in this game, unlike the last one, Texas probably has more want to just on paper. So it's up to Kirby Smart. Can you give one of those speeches that they have to bleep out and get them all ready? Are you in New York this weekend?
Starting point is 00:13:48 Are you in Georgia? No, I get to be home for this one. I'm actually, I'm not even by tickets to a game. All right. Well, then I'll see you over text. We'll talk trash. Texas versus Georgia. All right, Joey Jones.

Jimmy Phelah here is next to me from the Patriot Awards
Starting point is 00:15:40 doing his show, Fox, across America. And I said, why are you so quiet, Jimmy, you're whispering into your microphone. I'm over here, projecting man. My voice is filling this place. And he said, because I'm a broadcasting professional, I know you don't have to yell. I said, well, I'm new. As are you. We're all new here to the Will Kane show. Coming up in just moments, we're going to have Tyrus join us, Tyrus from Gutfeld and many other programs, both at Outkick and at Fox. But I wanted to visit this other story today while we're together, and I found absolutely fascinating. It's the story of the Supreme Court of the United States. Yesterday, they heard arguments in a case regarding transgender issues. I'm always fascinating whenever there's audio
Starting point is 00:16:19 coming out of the Supreme Court of the United States. I like to hear the brain, the questions, the argumentation, and you learn so much. At the outset of today's show, I gave you a monologue, and I said that we give a lot of deference to the people that run America, both in politics and in private business. Most of them are the managers of decline. A few, though, not maybe exclusively a few. Many are also just morons. And I think that there are moments when you get to hear this.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Let's hear these managers of decline. Let's hear these morons. And unfortunately, you can hear it in arguments before the Supreme Court. Let's start with Supreme Court Justice Kintanji Brown. Jackson talking about transgender surgeries and puberty blockers on children. The question was whether it was discriminatory because it applied to both races and it wasn't necessarily invidious or whatever. But as I read the statute here, excuse me, the case here, you know, the court starts off
Starting point is 00:17:18 by saying that Virginia is now one of 16 states which prohibit and punish marriages on the basis of racial classifications. And when you look at the structure of that law, it looks in terms of, You can't do something that is inconsistent with your own characteristics. It's sort of the same thing. So it's interesting to me that we now have this different argument, and I wonder whether Virginia could have gotten away with what they did here by just making a classification argument.
Starting point is 00:17:45 So I want to help you understand, and I don't mean this, like, to be pedantic. I don't mean to, like, explain the obvious. But what you just heard from Kentucky Brown Jackson, you know, So the rise of systemic racism directly correlates in the United States to the Supreme Court of the United States embracing the idea of disparate impact. And that is we don't just outlaw things that are racist on its face, but things that have racism in their application. You can look at something that is race neutral, say, I don't know, an SAT test and say, yeah, yeah, we all agree. That's not racist we can see. But it has a disparate impact on the numbers of black kids that fail versus white kids that fail in reverse.
Starting point is 00:18:25 engineer that into the idea that it is racist. She's talking about here, disparate impact is applied first to the ban on interracial marriages in Virginia, which has been constitutionally outlawed, which is part of our history. And she's saying that the framework of those decisions and those arguments that banned interracial marriage are the same frameworks of arguments today that would submit there are two genders. This is what is being too smart for your own good.
Starting point is 00:18:53 This is being too professorial for the real world. This is where you use argumentation or theory into the place where all of a sudden you can't tell the difference between male and female. And that only became more obvious, by the way, when you heard Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Watch. I'm sorry, Counselor. Every medical treatment has a risk. Even taking aspirin. There is always going to be a percentage.
Starting point is 00:19:23 of the population under any medical treatment that's going to suffer a harm. So the question in my mind is not, do policymakers decide whether one person's life is more valuable than the millions of others who get relief from this treatment? The question is, can you stop one sex from the other? There she is, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, saying, hey, all medicine. has potential risk and downside. There's risk and downside to aspirin, equating aspirin's downside risk to puberty blockers
Starting point is 00:20:00 and transgender children's surgery. He's already making faces and breathing deeply. Tyrus now joins me here in the weekend show. Aspirin has a need. If you have a headache, it's proven that aspirin can relieve the symptoms from that. There's not proof that this stuff relieves any symptoms. actually proves it caused more problems.
Starting point is 00:20:26 So, again, this is the type of liberal stuff that the country's sick of. In the course of this case, Tyrus, that's something that came out through a line of questioning. And by the way, I don't know if this was done. We have both an example of some good lines of questioning as well by Judge Samuel Alito, where the counsel for those who looking to expand Transient to Rights here admitted it does not reduce suicide rates among children. No, that was proven. Actually, they held that information back. Physicians knew, a lot of physicians knew this information,
Starting point is 00:21:01 but because it went against their narrative, they held it back. So we're seeing that this stuff, there's not really a need for it. I mean, this would be like my 10-year-old telling me she had a bad week, so she needs a beer and a cigarette. Yeah. You know? There's no difference. And she didn't have to tell me about it because her teacher got her over.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Except you get over the beer and the cigarette. Exactly. This, you don't get over. You don't. And again, if you have a child, and one of my kids went through a phase where they were, I feel like a boy, I feel like, this, not whatever, therapy. Yeah. And we talked about it. You know, and then it reverted back.
Starting point is 00:21:38 And currently, she feels like she's a she again. If I would have went into that line of medications and stuff like that, she worked through herself. It's an ongoing process, like every child, whether, and it's not always with kids about gender. It can be, I want to be a firefighter, I want to be this, I want to be that, and then it continues to change and grow and evolve. And let them do that. There's a reason why we don't let our kids get married at 8 and 9, or join the military, or buy drugs, or even go to a movie that's rated R. There's a reason that you need to protect them from themselves in a lot of cases. Here is, I just mentioned a moment ago, so you can hear it for yourself directly, Justice Samuel Alito, saying, let's talk about this idea that this helps children avoid the ultimate consequence of suicide.
Starting point is 00:22:32 True in every respect, but on page 195 of the cast reporting says there is no evidence that gender affirmative treatments reduce suicide. What I think that is referring to is there is no evidence in the studies that this treatment reduces completed suicide. And the reason for that is completed suicide, thankfully and admittedly, it is rare. And we're talking about a very small population of individuals with studies that don't necessarily have completed suicides within them. I think I actually heard that for the first time. Completed. Completed suicide. I'm just going to go back to everything I just said previously to this.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Again, we're laughing, but because it's the absurdity, how it ends, but this is a scary time that this is even being talked about. Like this, I think, and again, this is my opinion, but when I look at a lot of these, especially the laws about not talking to your parents and teachers don't have to tell your parents or accounts, I think that was protecting a doubt. different group. I don't think it was protecting the children. I feel like it protects the bad actors because how are those conversations even happening? How are you going from talking about, let's say math, to how you feel about your body? Like, how are those conversations happening? What's that transition? Yes, exactly. Which, and then it's protecting. I'm glad you brought up algebra. Have we talked about your private parts? Do you understand, do you see where, who is it really protecting? What's the segue?
Starting point is 00:24:11 Exactly. Like this one. How come you shave the mustache but keep everything else? Actually, I'm glad that you asked that. I spent three summers in an Amish training facility in Pennsylvania. No, here's the deal. No, the Amish would lose. They do a chin strap.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Yeah, you did go lower on the beard. I am, I have a, my DNA is unique. Oh. And while this part of my beard is coarse and soft. He's pointing to his goatee. It's a beard. I don't have a goatee. No, you're pointing to the goatee portion of your beard.
Starting point is 00:24:39 It's the entire beard. It's coarse. Genetically, there is a problem with my big upper lip and my coarse hair. It stabs it, and it drives me crazy. So there's also, I'm having some racist problems within myself physically, where the hair and the lip just don't work. I think the hair is more Nordic or on the Scottish side, and my lips, of course, are African. So it's a huge fight.
Starting point is 00:25:06 I think I'm watching your wife in the background, not amused by our conversation. Oh, if we only had a third microphone, I would... I can't do the mustache either. You want to know why? Why? Because I have the reverse... You're mixed, too? I've got the...
Starting point is 00:25:20 It's on mixed race. No, because I have the reverse Hitler, not on purpose. Do you know what the reverse Hitler is? Yeah, it's where... But you could be a great country Western music singer. I don't grow anything here. You got to do the bars then. Mine's separated in the middle.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Yeah. Plus, color-wise, although I have the wisdom gray, my mustache was always blonde. It didn't match the rest. So it was just a weird, you know, like a calico cat. We've hung out a lot, and I just looked over at you for a moment there, and I said, I want to know why he cheeses. I feel that I'm so happy that we could talk about this live.
Starting point is 00:25:51 I'm really sure wife wasn't watching us right now. I feel very judged. Oh, well, plus before you got here, I was burying you. No. Oh. I was bringing up to death. No, no, no, no. I'm always, you aren't really.
Starting point is 00:26:02 I'm always early. That's something that I'm, especially, you know, for the work you're doing and the things you're doing, man. My hat's off to you. Oh, yeah. talking about just you know Pete appreciate it and um I love the fact that we can stick by our friends in times like this Pete is a great man he's a wonderful family he's been wonderful me my entire career here he gave me an opportunity to be at the Patriot Awards he gave me an opportunity to interview him several times he's a stand-up and he's a great guy it surprises me not in the
Starting point is 00:26:36 least to hear that from you you know Tarris you know I've talked about this but like I don't No, and I don't mean to suggest somebody who might not fall in one of these categories, including women, is somehow this is inapplicable, but, you know, I spent all those years at ESPN, right? I have not lived the life for some reason social media or others might have projected on me. I didn't grow up in a lily white suburb with everybody the same color and the same socioeconomic standard. I'm from a small town in Texas where everyone is together. Bottom line, everyone. Poor, rich, black, white, everyone is together. And throughout my career, I've sought out different kinds of diversity because I find it interesting. That's the bottom line truth. And so at ESPN, when I join ESPN, and these athletes walk in, and they're black, and I'm a skinny white guy,
Starting point is 00:27:14 and I've got a radio show, and they sit down at my microphone, we didn't have any trouble hitting it off. And do you know why? Because we're dudes. Yeah. Because we're dudes. And there's a connective tissue that applies regardless. And maybe it even applies sometimes when it's a woman. Maybe women can be dudes.
Starting point is 00:27:27 I don't know. But I just know when I sit down with a guy and I connect, I know that I had that with Pete. I know that I have that with you. And so when I'm doing what I'm doing for Pete is I'm simply telling the truth about someone that I know well, and I think that's what men do. I think I'm doing what men should do. Everyone, you should do. Another thing is that, Pete served this country.
Starting point is 00:27:50 He's seeing things we can't possibly imagine. Coming back home, I bet there was an adjustment. I bet there was a tough period. I bet there was, we saw his mother had a challenge him. And he changed his life. I want leaders like that. I myself, who I was 15, 20 years ago, was couldn't work at a place like this i had more and i've talked about i've owned my mistakes
Starting point is 00:28:13 i've owned the things i've done wrong in my life but that's the fabric of what makes leaders absolutely anybody and pete made mistakes thousand percent but he look at who he is now yes look at the family man he is now and you know what if someone's struggling who better than Pete that could sit down and say i've been there and best yet here's how i got out of there and here's the man I am today so that's why I will stand next to him, shoulder to shoulder to this whole process and I cannot wait
Starting point is 00:28:46 when he does get through the Senate and all that stuff and he's going to be phenomenal at his job. Because he is time tested and he is what America is all about redemption is a wonderful thing. I'm a living proof of that and so is Pete.
Starting point is 00:29:02 I should put one more button on that. We're not born or come out of the womb or hit the ground running as perfect beings. We're not. And I know Fox Nation has this thing up by Martin Scorsese talking about the Saints. Yes. You want to talk about some real dirt balls? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:14 How about the Saints? Yeah. You know? Yeah. Some guys that have really made mistakes, flawed characters who find their way to salvation, redemption. And ultimately, to your point, leadership. Here's the thing. Anybody with a clean record who's never done anything wrong, I really, I really look at that person very closely.
Starting point is 00:29:34 You know what? Everybody's friend is nobody's friend. Yeah. Yeah. See? That's why. I come through the freezing rain and snow four hours early to work just to talk to you. Are you staying at a hotel or did you come really this early from New Jersey? No, no, we're staying in a hotel. I came the night before. Good. Me too. So you're 20 minutes away.
