It can be hard when you're still dealing with symptoms like hearing voices or seeing things that aren't there.
and negative symptoms like feeling unmotivated or avoiding social situations. If this sounds familiar, it might be time to talk to your healthcare provider and explore a different kind of schizophrenia treatment. Discover your possibilities at treatings.com. All right, well, welcome to our nation. I'm Brian Kilmie.
Welcome to Sunday, I should say, and maybe the end of your weekend. What a great show we have for you today. We have Boris Johnson, the former Prime Minister of the UK, on the perception of the president and beyond once he was overseas.
Now he's back. Jim Lampley might be the best sportscaster of my generation. He's going to talk about his illustrious career and where we go from here in sports. And Jimmy Phaler, whatever's on his mind is going to be good enough for this show. But first, the fastest, most impactful monologue in America.
The theme this week: winning is allowed, just not acknowledged when it comes to that guy. At least, not in President Trump's case when it comes to the media. Case in point: the unprecedented trade deals, rebalancing our commerce and bringing in billions of dollars. Trump's trade team has the U.S. opening up access for American cars in Europe and Japan.
I didn't think that was going to happen. Our farmers are actually allowed to sell rice for the first time. First time ever in Japan. No one thought that would happen. The European Union will now have the United States as their number one supplier of natural gas.
And then there's flat-out straight revenue. The deal with South Korea, how about $350 billion and up? Just goes into what could be a sovereign wealth fund like Japan, same thing, $550 billion.
Now the EU pledging to make $750 billion strategic purchases, we'll see how that goes, along with $600 billion in additional money. It's going to help get jobs, keep our economy going.
Now some countries are getting hit harder if they didn't do a deal. Here are some of the highest rates in the world. That's just unless they adjust suddenly. We have 15 to 20 percent mark across the board.
Some of the bigger ones, you've got Sierra-Laos, Burma, Switzerland. And don't forget Canada. We're in a bit of a war with our neighbor. It's up around 35% in terms of tariffs. We'll see if they can work that out.
Now the economy is robust. The GDP, about 3%, despite the tariff fears. Wages growing at 4.4% in the private sector. These are great numbers. While job numbers this month were not great, the Fed is expected to act now and fix it all in September.
But most of the media will not acknowledge the momentum. Check out some of these headlines. I mean, spinning every good thing Trump does to something negative. For example, the US economy rebounds to 3% growth, right? In the second quarter.
But tariffs skew the picture. CNN, how about this? Big rebound in GDP masks hidden weakness in the US economy. Really? Hidden?
Is there anything hidden in the Trump administration? AP, along with the strong second quarter rebound for the US economy?
Some red flags. Dun dun dun dun. You think the trade, the horrific headlines, if you look at the trade in April and everyone thought the sky was falling, would at least be fairly positive when it didn't fall in July, especially now that we're in August. Why can't Democrats admit? when they are wrong.
You told me it was the right thing to do. Look, I know what I told you to do, but when I told you to do that, I was reason. Ralph? I was hmm. Even a New York columnist, Brett Stevens, who has been a longtime critic of President Trump, admits, Trump.
Has been much more successful than he expected this time.
So let's compare Trump's triumphs to the perceived President Biden's success in flashback time to the headlines. On the American Rescue Plan, March of 2021, where were you when you saw this? Joe Biden is a transformational president. Experts would later say he fueled massive inflation, but I don't want to slow you down, on the Inflation Reduction Act, quote: a victory for Biden and a bet on America's future. And aside, all the lie was really the new Green Deal.
It didn't touch inflation. And you can't forget this one. Did Democrats just save civilization? Does anyone see the difference here? All I'm asking is for the media to be somewhat fair.
The tariffs did not crush the economy or ignite a trade war. Even China and the U.S. delegation seem to be heading towards an agreement. I gotta give credit to Bill Maher for acknowledging the sky didn't fall. The economy was going to be tanked, but That didn't happen.
The stock market is at record highs. I don't see a country in a depression at all. And I would have thought. and I gotta own it. That the cut that these tariffs were going to Sink this economy by this time, and they didn't.
So, Bill Maher admitted he was wrong. What about the fonts? You mean you were wrong? Yeah, that's right, Malfa. I was what you just said I was just then, yeah.
Wrong? The farm's wrong? Mouth, look. There is a first time for everything, huh? Yes, Ralph Malf couldn't handle it.
Joining us now to expand is editor-in-chief of Racket News. He got him on Substack and everywhere else. His podcast is great, Matt Taibbi. Matt, I'm not saying they should be so nice to Trump. He doesn't walk on water, but can we expect some fairness the second time around?
No, absolutely not. I mean, one of the problems is that the press has covered Trump in a way that has left them no ability to cover him objectively without admitting massive previous failures and corruption, specifically with all the stuff that's come out about RussiaGate and some other scandals. Yeah, let's talk about RussiaGate. You said in your latest column on Racket News, you said you were reluctant to dive into the so-called conspiracy. What changed for you?
Was it something in the Durham annex and the whistleblowers over the last week? Yeah, I mean, I've been covering this story for eight years, and I started out just saying something seemed wrong with the reporting, like the sourcing was bad. And I thought it was a story about a thin investigation that wasn't supported well enough. And I was very reluctant to go to this place that this was a conspiracy to cover up something that Hillary Clinton had done. But the Durham report really leaves no doubt anymore that the Clinton campaign had a plan in place.
To blame Trump with something related to Russia, even before the WikiLeaks stuff came out.
So the investigation that followed was just incidental, and that's pretty well demonstrated by what happened in the report. And the thing is, now you have this guy, Leonardo Bernardo, a name with the open, with George Source's open society. Jeff Goldstein dealing with Debbie Wasserman Schultz, back and forth and finding a way to change the narrative from Hillary's emails and the John Podesta half-cacking to Donald Trump in bed with Vladimir Putin to hopefully win the election and later to destroy his first term when he won. Yeah, I mean it's unbelievable because the real story here is that Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server opened up the United States to an unprecedented security risk. And the Russian government actually came into possession of a huge cache of material correspondence all the way up to the president's office.
And yet, in order to deflect from that, they had to create some kind of story that was similarly explosive.
So they came up with this idea of linking and vilifying Trump and Putin together. They talked about it being a long-term project to demonize them both. And that's what they did. And what's so remarkable is that every single major media reporter in America went along with this, this station excluded, obviously. Matt.
If it wasn't for a compliant media, it wouldn't have worked. It would have been a bunch of intelligence officials making statements. But the media was stenographers for this story, and it ruined people's lives. Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, solitary confinement. They almost arrested Jared Kushner.
This goes all the way through, but a lot of people are saying we've been through this. What's different is in this annex, in these burn bags that were found in the FBI. But the New York Times on Friday comes out and just show this headline because you tackle this in your column. They basically say, could it be? That the information that Matt Taibbi and Brian Kilmeader are talking about right now.
is Russian disinformation and it wasn't them.
So, if you could stay and stay with us, can you buy that? Do you think the Russians are duping us? No, there's no question that they had an enormous amount of material. It was taken seriously enough by James Comey that he moved up the date of his announcement of the end of Hillary Clinton's email investigation. And the denials that the New York Times is writing about today, and I'm just so exhausted by this process, Brian.
I know. Every time they come out with some new cockamimi thing, and we have to take time to knock it all down again, and eventually it's admitted later. But these are non-denial denials. They talk about it being put together by spies, and the people who are mentioned in the story say they don't recall it happening. But if you actually look at what they say in these interviews, they say things like, Yeah, I don't remember doing that, but it's possible that I proposed that kind of plan.
And it's possible that if I proposed it, it would have been accepted by the campaign. It's embarrassing. Lastly, In the conclusion, people want to see some type of consequences for this unsavory action. If we talk about consequences, note there's a statue of limitations. What do you expect?
Well, I don't know. I think that's the last remaining mystery in all this. I know from talking to people who are close to all these investigations that they're not doing this as part of any kind of hearts and minds campaign. They don't expect that the press is going to suddenly stop on a dime and make their case to the American people. They're doing this for a reason, and they're doing it to make cases.
That we know that there are criminal referrals that have been made, investigations have been started. We just don't know exactly what they're going to charge. It's going to be some kind of conspiracy case, but conspiracy to do what exactly isn't clear. But the evidence is abundant, and they've completely exploded the myth of Russia Gate at this point. And if people want to know the latest, just cut through it all, follow Matt Taibbi on Substack on Racket News.
Thanks, Matt. Appreciate it. Thanks so much, Brian. I think they made a good deal. Uh I think we all made a good deal.
But Europe has a big immigration problem. They also liked when I said that they have one of the worst mayors anywhere in the world in London. He's a horrible bear, nasty guy. Stupid guy, in my opinion. I think windmills are a disgrace.
I think they hurt everything they touch. They're ugly. They're very inefficient. What they should do is open up the you know, the whole North Coast oil. They have Tremendous oil.
Right there, right where we blame.
So President Trump, reflecting on parts of his trip to Scotland, discussing his new trade deal, taking aim at the London Mayor and urging Europe to ditch windmills, that's what he was talking about, he said ugly, in favor of drilling in the North Sea. During the visit, he announced a new trade agreement with the European Union and met with the UK Prime Minister, Kier Starmer. They look like buddies, and Scotland's First Minister, John Swinney. The discussions covered key issues, including whiskey tariffs and the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
So, how was the President received during his trip on the world stage? They certainly didn't know what to make of him the first time around. I got a great guest, former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, great personalities over in Europe and here. He would be even more successful in American politics. Mr.
Prime Minister, welcome. Can you give me an idea of how the president was received, when he was there and once he left?
Well, it's great to be on your show again, Brian. And listen, as far as I could tell, he got a hero's reception from people in Scotland. People in the street were very glad to see him. They turned out with loving placards. And you know, the thing that people love about Donald Trump is the way he just.
Tears up all the rules of diplomacy. Because when you come to somebody else's country, you might stand there and And just sort of say a few platitudes about how great it is to be there. You're not meant to be. criticize the Government of your host. And yet, of course, that's what he did.
And he tore into Siddi Khan, the Mayor of London, quite rightly, in my view. He tore into Windmills illegal immigration coming across the channel. That's absolutely right, because Starma, the UK Prime Minister, got rid of a very good plan that we had to send migrants back. And, you know, I think that people just find it refreshing. to listen to somebody coming to their own country and for once not mincing their words.
I know you tried to get that trade deal done once you guys did Brexit. And are you from the UK perspective, are you happy with the deal as you know it between the UK and the US?
Well, look, Brian, I don't think there should be any tariffs between the UK and the US. I think it's absolutely nonsensical. But Thanks to Brexit, which you won't hear from the New York Times, which you won't hear from the BBC or the Financial Times or the Washington Post. Thanks to Brexit, we did a deal. that was substantially better.
than the European Union. And look, what I would love to see one day, and I think Donald Trump is the kind of guy who could do this, is. an agreement that brings together the the great western Democracy brings together the United States and North America with Europe. These are the great markets of our civilization. These are where people want to be.
Bring them together. That's the way to stand up to China. That's the way to stand up to China. Gotcha. All right.
So let's talk about what Canada, France, and the UK is thinking about doing. They plan on recognizing a Palestinian state because they're not happy with the situation in Gaza. No one should be. For me, it's obvious who's to blame, though. It's Hamas.
So I had Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Yes, Marco Rubio on the radio show, which you were on. And here's what he said about this. It's annoying to some, but it's irrelevant. It doesn't mean anything.
First of all, none of these countries have the ability to create a Palestinian state. There can be no Palestinian state unless Israel agrees to it. Number two, they can't even tell you where this Palestinian state is. They can't tell you who will govern it. Do you agree with the Secretary of State?
I do completely. I think that what Marco Rubio said was 100% right. This is just pissing in the wind, if I can be vulgar for a second by France and the UK. Look, there's a thing called the Montevideo Convention of 1933 that governs the way we in the UK recognize. States.
And to recognize a state, you have to agree on the boundaries of that state, and you have to agree that that state has a government that can control those boundaries. Plainly, the boundaries of the so-called Palestinian state are very, very much contested. And secondly, at least part of that. Potential state is controlled by a psychotic Islamo-fascist. death cult called Hamas, right?
And why on earth the UK Government should be extending the this boost, this this pup? Of recognition to Hamas right now, I simply cannot imagine. I would do nothing for it. I hear you, Mitch. Nothing for her.
Mr. Prime Minister, one other thing you're passionate about, you were the first leader to go to Ukraine after the invasion and to believe in Zelensky. I know you believe in his cause and the way they fight is certainly inspiring. And it's the President of the United States has had it with Vladimir Putin. Within ten days, we're going to make a decision on some massive sanctions and maybe more arms.
What do you think is going to happen between now and then? Look, I think what we've seen in the White House is a wonderful understanding of the reality of Putin's intentions towards Ukraine. And just listening to you and Matt Taibbi just now, it was a really interesting exchange because there's no doubt that the Russia gate stuff had a big psychological impact on President Trump and his team. And they thought it was a load of nonsense.
So they were more sympathetic to Putin than I think they needed to be. I reckon. And the President now understands that Putin is bent on the total Subjugation of Ukraine. There's one man who can stop that. One man who is going to stop that.
That's Donald Trump. And I have real confidence that he can pull this thing off. I really do. I just don't think. He's getting tough now.
He's going to get tough. I hear you. And I just don't think Putin's going to stop. We just have to figure out somehow make him stop. And China might be the key.
And they want a trade deal with us, and maybe that's going to come up. But you're the diplomat. You're the expert on government. Mr. Prime Minister, great to see you.
I think the world needs your personality out there, so hopefully you'll make a comeback.
Meanwhile, straight ahead on this show: Zohran Mumdami's socialist policies threatening to destroy businesses in New York City and beyond. It's so much more than the New York story. The real impact with Larry Kudlow and John Casimatidis. And still to come, legendary sportscaster Jim Lapley has seen it all in the ring and beyond. More on him, his career, and where sports is going.
And catch me on stage. History, Liberty, and Laughs, streamed on Fox Nation, but you've got to be there in person. Matt meets me in person. Man, you know how special I am. August 23rd, Dave.
Dallas, Texas, Richmond, Virginia, September 27th, BrianKillmead.com. Don't move. Birds been talking up on the wires, filling your secrets all over this town. Snealing a macro, pulling all nature. Did you really think that I wouldn't find out?
I will create a network of city-owned grocery stores. It's like a public option for produce. I'll freeze the rent for millions of tenants, make buses fast and free, and deliver universal childcare. And before you ask, I'll pay for it by taxing the rich. Yes, thank goodness.
Scary, pretty, right? New York City mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani leading the pack. Here's the entire city bracing for impact as his socialist, dare I say, Marxist policies are threatening business leaders across all five boroughs. But they've been pretty much quiet. And what's even scarier, in my view, is despite his attempt to destroy the city, if he goes ahead and gets elected, as we know it, he's leading against all other candidates.
50, 22, Sleeve with 13 atoms in single digits. Joining us right now, a few gentlemen that care a lot about this city and have a lot to do with its success. It is the CEO of the chain, Christides, as well as D. Gagostinos, as well as Red Apple Media, John Castamatidis, and the host of Kudlow on Fox Business, Larry Kudlow. Dagostinos.
Dagostosino. Dagostinos. Yeah, what was I saying? Larry, your thought right now about why this guy is leading with knowing what we know about him.
Well, I think he ran a great campaign. And the others didn't, didn't the Democratic primary. And I think he's ahead. If the election were today, he would win, okay? But, but, but, but, but, because of all the extremist socialist views you were describing, plus his anti-Semitism, and he's going to have a lot of trouble with Donald Trump as well, as people get to know what he really believes.
He's trying to weasel his way out now, can't do it. Statements have been there, not just in the mayoral campaign. Don't forget, he was the state assemblyman for several terms, espousing the same policies of taxing the rich and defunding the police and anti-Semitism.
So, my point is: let's see what happens over the summer. The numbers aren't quite as bad. I have a poll here that's actually a little better from Mark Halperin. Let's see what happens here. But you will see tremendous.
Look, I had the Commerce Secretary, Howard Ludnick, was on my show last night. I asked him about this. Howard is a longtime New Yorker, and Donald Trump will withhold. Money from New York. If he wins.
If he starts to defund the police, if he doesn't let the ICE people come in and get the criminals the worst of the worst, he's going to have Trump to contend with. And everyone loses as they fight it out. John, you own not only doing grocery stores, you have big investments in New York City. Is this a threat to you? I think it's a threat to all New Yorkers.
I think it's a threat to the real estate industry in New York. And the real estate industry in New York. Has a problem, then the banks are going to have a problem. Speak up. You have a radio show.
I am speaking up every day. Every day I am speaking up. What about your friends? They're all speaking up. I talked to Eric Adams yesterday.
I worked with Curtis all morning, this morning for four hours. Curtis is not going anywhere. He's going to stay in the race. And I talked to Eric Adams. He says, I haven't begun to fight yet.
Remember, what did John Paul Jones say? I haven't begun to fight yet. He says, give me August and then We'll see what happens in September. What I've been saying about Zoran is: remember that song with Andrew Yang, Andrew Yang, just four years ago? Flying high in April, shot down in May.
Right.
Well, He doesn't have a, he's not really a business person. And the fact is, he can't run a hundred billion-dollar enterprise. What he's trying to do, Brian, is go to our friend Bill de Blasio, bring in some of his crew members to help run the city of New York and try to get some credibility from the Democratic Party. But you know, yeah, but you know the credibility. But but de Blasio ruined everything that Bloomberg did.
And then he let us into a ditch. But Zoran is looking at de Blasio as his hero, and maybe he even wants Bill Bratton his police commissioner. De Blasio and hero. I've never seen that combination of words. That's unimaginable.
By the way, You know, a lot of people are going to come around to Curtis Lewa. For example, I had on my show the other night Elise Stefanik. Elise, if you're not... In fact, you want to hear from her? She talked about the economic impact from your show.
She was terrific. Let's watch. The world is watching this mayor's race. People, not just in this country, not just in this state, but around the world, watch what happens in the city of New York.
So to have a full-blown communist anti-Semite defund the police mayor of New York, that is devastating to the city, to the state, to the nation, and frankly, to the financial markets. She was fabulous. She will be governor. She will be governor. If he wins, she'll be governor, and she will stop everything.
And don't forget, even in a year, if he wins, he's got to get his stuff through the state legislature and the governor. It's a very bad governor, Hochul, and there's a left-wing legislature, but not as far left as he is. And you've got seasoned pros.
Now, this is why I want to make, besides Elise Topanik, okay, who's going to be out and about, former Governor George Pataki is helping Curtis Liwa. Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani is helping Curtis Lewa. I am doing whatever I can on the radio to help Curtis Lewa.
So it's early yet. John is right. You know, it may well turn out that Mandami the Kami peaked the night he won the Democratic primary.
Okay, he hasn't yet. John, finally, this. Is it time for Hakeem Jeffries, for Senator Schumer, for Dan Goldman, for Governor Hokul to endorse him or not? He's a Democrat. What's the problem?
They won the primary. They should have to show. They have to show whether they voted for him or not.
Well, right. Dan Goldman is irrelevant. You know, let's talk about Hakeem Jeffries. Let's talk about Senator Schumer. Let's talk about Governor Hokul.
If they endorse this person, they're setting up the Democratic Party to lose 49 states in the future.
So make a decision. Yes or no?
So say it's no. I don't endorse him. You can't say nothing. Nothing is not an option. They're setting up what happened to McGovern in 1980.
And that speaks volumes about the media won't go up to Schumer and say, who did you vote for in the primary? They won't dog him, and he won't say, and John is right, there's a McGovernite landslide out there if this guy wins.
So 49 states, but they'll try to increase it to 50 out of 50. Trump will be all over him. I just want to repeat. 4 o'clock every single day in Fox Business. Thank you.
John Casimatidis. WABC, you were smart enough to hire him on Saturdays, too. 5 o'clock every day. 5 o'clock every day. I listened to Larry Cuban.
Find out what I'm going to say at 5 o'clock every day. I work for him on the weekend. I know. I know. You have direct deposit.
I know that. I already know your routing number. All right.
Thanks so much, guys. Appreciate it. Up next, the media moments that menu with Jimmy Phelan. At least with our piece of crown. Watching you.
Why is the sun? Going down, that's what my worst meant. The Chevy Equinox is more than Welcome to Fox News Live. I'm Ashley Stromeyer in New York. Two men have been arrested in connection to the murders of four relatives of an infant in western Tennessee.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation charged 29-year-olds Tanica Brown and Giovante Thomas with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. Investigators allege they assisted 28-year-old Austin Robert Drummond, who is wanted in the murders and is still at large. The infant was found abandoned and alive in a car seat 40 miles away after the deaths of her parents, grandmother, and uncle. A volcano in Russia is erupting for the first time in 600 years. The volcano is spewing hot ash miles into the sky.
It erupted on a far eastern peninsula while a 7.0 magnitude earthquake took place. It also comes after an 8.8 magnitude earthquake last week. Authorities say there are no populated areas near where the ash is falling. I'm Ashley Stromeire and I'm back to One Nation. Yeah.
Media moments that matter. My favorite segment of the week. It's the week where I just choose to take my only VCR and my TV guide. I have a subscription, all my cords and all my tapes, and I give it to one man. And this man this week?
Jimmy Phaler. There he is. Host of Fox News Saturday night. Great radio show every single day from 12 to 3. Let's go.
Jimmy, I gave you everything. You got to give it back. But first, what did you tape?
So here it is, because I really went nuts. And I don't appreciate that. You give me the VCR, but you attach it to a cinder block like the key to gas station. You're going to run off with your VCR and sell it to some Amish family who knows what to do with it. You're right.
Top of number one, kill me, and here you go. Just so I can give you back your VCR and get this over with. Nancy Pelosi blows up at Jake Tapper after he asks her about Donald Trump's insider trading allegations. Watch this. This is great.
Why do you have to read that? We're here to talk about the 60th anniversary of Medicaid. That's what I agreed to come to talk about. He accused you of insider trading. What's your response to that?
That's ridiculous. In fact, I very much support the stop the trading of members of Congress. Not that I think anybody's doing anything wrong. If they are, they are prosecuted and they go to jail. Let's not give them any more time on that, please.
Clearly, a woman with nothing to hide. What do you think of insider trading? Why do you got to talk about that? Right.
Can you imagine me and you are driving home, and a cop stops you and he goes, Have you been drinking, sir? And you go, Why do you have to talk about that? We're moving on here. That's not how life works, Nancy.
Well, a couple of things are going on here. Jake Tapper can get bullied. She did the same, she does the things at CNN and MSCBC all the time. She gets mad at them. No wonder she doesn't do us.
Hell, no, never. But I want her to come by because I want some of them stock tips. Absolutely. I'll throw some softballs up there. She's like $760 million.
That's what I mean. But that's just her husband. That's what I mean. Story number two: I love this one so much. Seth Meyers over at NBC, worried about his mental health because if his late-night show gets canceled, he knows late-night shows are kind of in the ditch right now, and he's afraid he might have to go to therapy.
Watch this. Does it help? that you know like if it ends tomorrow Financially, you're fine. Like safety-wise, does that help or not really? Because you're so you are so driven?
Yeah, I wouldn't, I wear, I would worry about myself like mental health-wise if I didn't fight. But again, like, you know, I put a lot of thought into like diversifying my skill set. What is he saying? He's worried about his mental health if he's canceled? Nothing.
And he has gone on to say, like, I'd have to go see a psychiatrist. That actually works for him, though, because he's gotten used to talking to an audience of one. There's actually a big crowd for him these days. It's who's ever not Trump. But here's the thing: he had the worst thing.
He gets a contract he sent you, but they say, We're taking your band. And I imagine the spread in the green room. Yeah. Like little by little, it's over. But remember, they didn't replace James Corden.
No. Right? No, that's how this ends, too. I mean, he'll be like a producer at MSNBC or something.
Well, we'll see if there is one. Did you tape anything else? I got one more. No, I'm excited. The last one is the grand finale.
We built up to this. Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson, they got caught making out on the Today Show. They won't admit it they're in a relationship, but we wanted to come to you because you are the expert on fake kisses. Let's take a look. What a way to end the show.
Back when they called the show Fox and Friends with Benefits. Yeah, what is going on here? I forgot about that. But that was a fake kiss.
So the question goes to you, Jimmy, because you're in Hollywood. Yes. Was that with Liam Nielsen and Pam Anderson? Is that real? You see, I think it was just a promo for The Naked Gun, which is coming out now.
Which, by the way, here is hysterical. Yeah, I'm really excited to go watch it. That being said, she does have a reputation for getting close to some of the guys she's worked with. Here's a photo I can show you right now. Oh, hold on, Kill Mead.
What is even going on? Yeah, what do you remember about that moment? Everything.
So what are the circumstances? I worked with her. It was a stand-up show called Gotham Comedy Live. I used to be the celebrity monologue writer.
So for a week, I got to write her monologue and bounce jokes off her for her week that she then went on stage and told. Wow. And she crushed. She got a standing ovation. I got a couple of threatening phone calls from my wife.
It was a win-win. It was a win-win. And you had it when she wore makeup. Amen. Those are the good ones.
Okay, I had her first. I had her first William Nisa. Taken back, if anything. And by the way, Gotham Comedy Club, best comedy club in the city. Maybe best ever.
I'll take it. All right.
Jimmy, thanks so much. We're going to watch you. We watched you Saturday night and we loved it. You better. Different outfit, same guy.
All right, meanwhile, straight ahead, on this show, you're welcome to stick around. From Ali to Foreman to Tyson, Hall of Fame sportscaster Jim Lapley has had the call for them all.
Next, only on One Nation, he takes us behind the scenes of his illustrious career. Decide Baby, same. Oh, booze, be the same old meal, and the same old you. Be the same road, same truck. If you're like I was, you're tired.
There were a few hot spots about the fourth or fifth round when Michael Moore started hitting me a few times. I started to think, where's that fan who flies in to stop these things? I need a rest or a break. Whenever you needed him, he wouldn't fly in. But other than that, I felt pretty confident all the way through.
And he was talking about a fan man who flew into the Riddick Bow Holyfield second fight that was in Las Vegas. But that was the late great George Foreman, one of the greatest people you'll meet, reflecting on his shocking knockout of then heavyweight champion Michael Moore. At 45 years old, Big George became the oldest heavyweight champion in history, flattening the 26-year-old Moore in one of boxing's most unforgettable upsets. My next guest was ringside for that fight and for countless others during his legendary 30-year career on HBO Sports and Beyond. He captures that moment and many more in his new memoir, named after that famous call after Foreman knocked him out when he said it happened, a uniquely lucky life in sports television.
Joining us now, Jim Lampley. Jim, great to see you. Tell the audience why it was important to name the book after that call on that moment.
Well, thank you, Brian, and thanks for the opportunity to connect with your audience. George Foreman, a great man, a brilliant man. I can tell that you know that about him. A lot of people give me curious looks when I tell them that, but he was extraordinary in terms of his understanding of his relationship to the public and his understanding of what would happen in a prize fight. And you know now because you read the book that in the weeks leading up to the fight between the 45-year-old Foreman and the 26-year-old unbeaten South Paul Michael Moore, I asked him several times at HBO functions because we were working together on the commentary team, George, how are you going to beat Michael Moore?
He's unbeaten. He's 26 years old. He has fast feet and a South Paul style. Holyfield couldn't find him, and Holyfield is much quicker and more adept on his feet than you are. What's the plan?
And every time I asked, George would Look me in the eye and say, Jim, you watch. There will come a moment late in the fight when he will come and stand in front of me and let me knock him out. Always the same words. He will come and stand in front of me and let me knock him out.
Now, I recommend to your viewers: go to YouTube, dial up round 10 of Foreman versus Moore, November 5, 1994, and tell me there's any more accurate description of what you see on the screen than exactly what George said was happening. And, you know, it was an overwhelming holy grail for him. He walked to the ring that night wearing the same shorts he had worn against Ali and Zaire 20 years before and reciting the words to the impossible dream as he walked to the ring to, you know, to dream the impossible dream, to climb the unbearable climb, etc. He was very geared up for that night and he got what he wanted and became the oldest Wake champion ever. And I, looking for something to say about it, remembered what he had said to me and said, it happened, it happened.
And because it's concise, because it was concrete, it became my most famous boxing call. I also think your career is so learned. Even if you don't want a broadcasting career, there are ups and downs and how you handle that really matters. But if you want to know your passion for boxing, it was clear early because you had a passion for boxing. You asked your mom to drop.
You off, and she did at the Cassius Clay Liston fight. Everyone thought Liston was going to crush him. What did that, in retrospect, what did that fight mean to you, seeing one of the greatest upsets ever and one of the greatest athletes to ever walk the planet in Muhammad Ali? He was my most admired hero at the time for a variety of reasons. And it was deeply emotional for me.
I had saved long mowing and car washing money for months to buy a ticket that in my memory was either $100 or $150. I don't know for sure because stupidly I didn't save it. In those days, you couldn't do that. You're showing a picture of Muhammad later babysitting my daughter in 1988 on a day when he spent many hours with her, showing her card tricks and magic tricks and things of that nature to occupy her time while I was emceeing a boxing writer's dinner in New York. This is perhaps the single most treasured moment of my entire life that my eight-year-old daughter could spend all those hours with Muhammad and get to know him.
And as the book elucidates, on the ride home uptown in Manhattan from Trump's Hotel on 34th Street to Her mother's apartment uptown on Madison Avenue. She asked me in the back of a darkened cab, who was that man? And I said, Well, you're going to grow up. You're going to read about him. You're going to learn about all of that.
But I'll begin with one fact. He's the most famous man in the world, and it's indisputable. No one can make any logical claim that there's someone else who's more famous than him. She said, Dad, you mean I just spent eight hours with the most famous man in the world? And I said, Yes, you did.
And he liked you and he cared about you. And that's why it happened.
So I think it gave you. I am jealous of Joe Rogan because he had you for three hours. I have one more, no, one more topic for you. I mean, to recount it as special, especially to the parents out there at home. You had an event in Atlanta you wanted to take away where you didn't maybe give proper deference to Hannah Storm.
The network got mad at you, and they go to send you to a minor event, I believe it was cheerleading competition, we assume is punishment. And you're bummed out. And you called Jack Nicholson, and I think people can learn from this story. What did he tell you that really helped you for the rest of your life, certainly that day? I wondered who it was who could tell me something to help me out of the trough of deep self-rebuke and negative emotion that came from what I had stupidly done in Atlanta and the potential implications for my career.
I went up to Jack's house and visited him on Mulholland Drive because actors, actors never know whether the movie is going to bomb or whether the public's going to like it. They don't know for sure.
So they have momentary ups and downs in their career and they have to deal with it emotionally. And I asked Jack, you know, how am I going to get through this? I may have destroyed my relationship with NBC. And Jack told me two things that saved my career. Number one, no small actors, only small parts.
If they send you as they're sending you now to cover the cheerleading championships, your job is to be the greatest cheerleading commentator of all time. Number two, longevity is lovability. The longer you can hang around and stay in front of the public, the more they will decide that they like you and everything is going to turn out right. And those two things were absolutely correct, and he saved my career. Wow.
Part of the great Jim Lampley story. Jim, thanks so much for recounting it for us. I look forward to talking to you again. Jim Lampley, he's not finished yet. He's just chronicling what he did.
Thanks so much, Jim. We'll go together, Rogan, and use those three hours. Thank you, Brian. I'll meet you later. You got it.
