I probably would have to tell you that President Trump has his critics. Maybe one's Tom Cruise, who decided not, he's a scheduling conflict, to accept his Kennedy Award. Tommy Laren's here. She's the host of Outkick's. Tommy Laren is fearless.
She white listen to her anytime she's on on Outkick, and she's all over the channel. Tommy, welcome back. Good to be here. You're going to be on outnumber too. I am.
So, in terms of critics, this is what I was building up to, because the audio is not great. I felt as though we should introduce it. Alec Boulder's talking again.
So it turns out he's not for the DC crackdown. Let's watch. What's going to happen next? Is Trump going to federalize the New York City Police Department? What's after that?
Chicago, LA, Miami, Boston, and on and on. What's after that? The NFL, the NBA? Are you going to federalize them and take them over? All he wants to do is deflect.
From here's Inadequacy. by these bold, insane moves. Take over DC police. It's not what I need. I don't need this DC police to be taken off accountable.
We need to get the tariffs over with. We need to get the war over with. We need to get the Gaza thing over with, and after that we have something else we have to get over with.
So, your thoughts, Tommy, about the touchstone. What a clown. Also, the last person that should be speaking out about any type of violence or safety or security given his history is Alec Baldwin. You think that man would have crawled under a rock and just taken a five-year hiatus from anything after his scandals. But no, he's got a reality show on TLC to promote Brian, and I think that's what mostly this is about.
By the way, He happened to be, and as a proud heterosexual male, one of the most attractive men in his 30s and 40s. He looks like he's been through hell and back.
Well, he has. He has. I love it when these Hollywood types, I love it when they talk about President Trump and the derangement that they have because it only proves how out of touch they are and their party is with everyday Americans. The things that he's saying, oh, DC's, why does they want to go to DC and then Boston and New York? Yeah, actually, the people that are scared there would love it if President Trump would come there and make it better.
But that's how out of touch they are. They have private security, they live in gated communities, and they're poo-pooing people who care about their safety and security, who actually live in these communities. You know, the most egregious example has to be Senator Schumer when he comes out and says, I walk every day when he's surrounded by Secret Service and he acts like we could relate to that. That's why he has invisible friends and a 34% approval rating. But.
The president's changed the culture and Hollywood's benefiting. Big story in the New York Times over the weekend, and I'm fascinated by it. Do you know with the absence of DEI and the pushback of political correctness and the jeans commercial, people are standing up? And now you can put attractive women into movies and commercials again and get this. White people can actually get jobs again, all because Trump's pushing back at the DEI that ruined their industry.
Right. And they started it, but they're benefiting from Trump pushing back on it while not supporting him. Right, but they'll still grandstand at all the award ceremonies and talk about how they need DEI and they need all these things. And the loudest ones are... Do you think they will do that still?
Yes, they cannot help themselves. And it's the ones that are doing it are the whitest, most liberal ones, if you notice. I mean, that's really who's leading the cry for this. But they will never stand down and they will never say, well, you know what? I'm going to give up my role or I'm going to give up my paycheck to a person of color who's transgender and a refugee.
I've never seen that happen. You know what's interesting? If you're a producer or a director and let's say you're Way to the left, but you have a key grip that you always can count on: a script writer, a runner, you know, big jobs, small jobs. Yeah, I. I need an Indian.
I need a transsexual. I need a black person. I need a white person.
So they're filling gaps with ethnicities instead of the people that they're comfortable with that they know that can do jobs, or they're not eligible for funding or awards. And they are going, at what point, what did we do to ourselves?
Well, as more movies flop, I think you're going to see that go away. And it's partly because President Trump is making it okay to have things based on merit again. But that doesn't really, Hollywood isn't really touched by what President Trump does. They live in such a bubble there. I know, because I used to be in LA.
That is just such a different world. But what does speak to them is money. And I don't know about you, but I love going to the movies. I cannot find a decent movie in theaters. They just don't exist.
They all suck. Here's the thing. Uh this is what I hear. Naked Gun 2 is good. They said it could bring back comedies.
Yeah, Eric and Pete, did you see it? Naked gun? Not the remake, only the original. Believe it or not, I'm hearing great things about Yankee Gun Tale. Liam Neeson, Pam Anderson.
Yeah, I've heard good things as well.
So could be the comeback of the comedy. We used to have comedies that were funny. And comedy, I think, has been okay. But if you're trying to go to a serious movie or a thriller, that's what I love to go see in the movie theater. You just, I mean, you had Top Gun, and then after that, Superman.
I would be no. And then they had Superman was based on the immigrant stories. Hi, everyone. It's Brian Kilmead here. Are you tired of those uncomfortable dress shirts, especially when they bunch up under a sweater?

Well, I think it's pretty sick and pathetic. And it just said everything you need to know, the setting that we're under. that they chose the time, manner, and place. to send their district director. Outside, right when we're about to have this press card.
She said everything you know about Donald Trump's America. And that was top-down, you know that for a fact. They'll deny it, I'm sure. Maybe they won't deny it. Said everything you know about the authoritarian tendencies of the President of the United States.
That is Governor Newsom pretending as if it's just him and Donald Trump. Only he can save the country from Donald Trump when he has done such a terrible job in California. And now he wants to put a referendum out to redistrict. And he had a presser yesterday, but Tommy Lahren, who's getting set to host outnumbered shortly. Tommy, at the presser outside, they say unrelated.
Border Patrol was in action making some illegal immigrant arrests. You think it was related?
Well, here's the deal. In Los Angeles, you can swing a dead cat and hit an illegal immigrant.
So it's a target-rich environment.
So as they said this morning on America's Newsroom, we can go anywhere in LA and we're probably going to find an illegal alien. And not only that, we're probably going to find a criminal illegal alien.
So their thing was, hey, listen, there was somebody in the area. Whether it is or is not. I think it's an excellent troll by the president. I mean, listen, if you're going to hold this rally and you're launching your presidential campaign, let's be honest, that's what this all was, then we're going to send CBP. And I think that it was an excellent move, and I'm all for it.
And I love to see Gavin get his undies in a twist. All right, here is what was happening outside The event that Gavin Newsom was ho hosting, Cup fifty one. He's about a hundred feet behind us. Do you have any any uh comment from him or anything? Any message?
We're making Los Angeles and California a safer place. We're going to continue to do that, and uh they can take that one to the bank and cash it. Yeah, and they can cash it. And I tell you what, that is the Border Patrol Chief, Greg Bavino.
So it wasn't ICE, it was the Border Patrol, which has really seeded the border, sealed the border, despite what California wanted them to do. And now they're chasing down the illegal immigrants. And Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom think they got the public on their side. Yeah, because they're speaking to a small crowd in L.A. that's cheering for them.
I watched the video, and they want to make it look like they had a packed crowd. More people show up to light Waymos on fire and wave Mexican flags than show up to a Gavin Newsom rally at a Karen Bass rally, okay?
So they think they've got this sizable push. They're in Los Angeles, in one of the bluest places in the country, and that's their crowd, and they're touting this as some kind of, you know, a national wave of excitement for what they're doing. I don't think so. Gavin Newsom, again, is hard-launching his 2028 campaign, and he's using anything and everything to be anti-Trump because it's about Gavin. I mean, if he comes up with another podcast, In the next month, I'd be number three in the last two years.
They approached you about doing his podcast. They won't have me. They said, oh, not right now. Not right now. And I said, please don't.
He wanted to do it, right?
Well, you know, he wanted to talk to conservatives. Remember, that was the whole pitch of the thing. This is Gavin. But that didn't last too long. But they won't have me.
So we'll see.
So tell me what do you think is going to happen today. Everyone's got an educated guess about how this plays out. What do you think? I'm talking about Alaska. Yes.
I think President Trump just having the conversation is an important step. And I think he's doing it to gauge the intentions. And I think that no matter what, it's a positive step forward. But what we really need to talk about, Brian, is something more important. And it's the fact that your family has a new dog.
Oh, yes. And we must talk about it. And we must show the photo. Are you a fan? Of course.
I'm an all-animals fan. But I think we have photos. I've been told. We have photos and video of your new dog, but we don't know the name yet.
So we got to break some news. All right.
So we're going to go with Bear.
Okay. Bear joins Willow, who is a 120-pound Great Pyrenees. But Bear has a couple of things we got to work on. Bear in his early years, which is not one yet, but 12 weeks, has not been in a crate. And has not been confined.
So the first time we put him in a crate, she thought he thought we were putting her in prison, not for it. And then even putting him a playpen area to bracket it out, that was a bit of an adjustment.
So this is our fifth puppy. This is the biggest surprise. But the dog, I've never seen a dog just lay out as if He was shot when he goes lay on the ground. All the paws go flat out and he just collapses. And so far, the older dog does not like the younger dog.
Really? That'll change. That'll change. How old is Willow? Willow's three.
Okay, so that's not very old. Right. That's still a pretty young dog. And the thing is, too, it's one of those things where as soon as you get the dog, you go, oh my goodness, now you cannot leave the house for too long.
Now you got to make sure to go back.
Now at the end of the night, you got to make sure to put her on the astroturf in order to go.
So there's a little bit of lifestyle change. Yes. You're becoming a new parent. Again, a little bit more responsive. But we'll see.
I'll try to, I will bring Willow in, but it should be on a Friday when you can be here. I would love to. Right. I would love to have all the dogs. I think we should have a dog day anyway.
I've been pushing this for years. Why do we not have a dog? I have two dogs. Yes. Really?
What kind of dogs? I have my little rescue Chihuahua, who's an old grumpy lady, and then my husband, who's now my dog, our joint dog, but he's gone eight months. A year playing baseball, coaching baseball.
So it's become both of my dogs. But he's a golden doodle, a fancy.
So right now Who's watching the dog?
Well right now I have a rover. which is if you haven't heard of Rover, you need to use it. It's like Uber for your dogs. You have a trusted sitter, they come pick the dog up, they drop the dogs back off, they send you photos, they show the them sleeping and eating and all these things, it's great. I've never heard of this.
Go get it. You can find all the the verified sitters on there. Pick your sitter. I use the same few ones every time. Tommy, do you know?
So you don't know these people or you do know them?
Well, you get to know them. You got to do a little meet and greet. You can't just trust anyone in your privacy.
Well, yeah. They I have them go to their house. They come pick my dogs up, take them to their house, and they send me photos and all this.
So you gotta vet these people, of course. But yeah, I have like a few trusted ones that I oscillate between based on their availability. It's a great invention. You always seem to be a a step ahead.
Well, you got to get on the apps, you know? It's like these rover apps, it's like a dating app, but for your dog. And you can go and you can search. For me, I'm like, okay, the one with the green hair probably is not going to like me very much. I've had rovers ghost me when they realize who I am, by the way.
They'll come meet the dogs. They love the dogs. They look at me and they're like, and I never hear from them again. Do you have people that only want to deal with you too? Don't you have super fans as well?
Sure.
Well, I don't know if they're super fans. They like me. They're like-minded. It's Tennessee, right? But they don't outwardly tell me that.
But the ones that don't like me, when they just stop responding to me, I'll be like, Are you good? Oh, good, good for Thursday. And no response. Like, well, that was a liberal. I mean, you've put up with so much since you, but you go into these markets that don't embrace you like New York and California.
But this studio, you're safe. And Tommy, lastly, what is with the Mets? You have a family member with the Mets. Yep. And they've lost 13 of 15.
This was a team that was up by about four after coming off a tremendous season. Last year.
So, here's a couple things that need to happen. They've got some great talent in AAA that they should utilize on the coaching side on the coaching side. Oh, just a premonition I have. But also, last year, the key was Grimace. Remember the McDonald's character?
Grimace came, the purple thing, and then they were on a hot streak. They need to bring them a McDonald's character back. Just bring back any McDonald's character. A hamburgler, any of 'em. I don't know.
Well, whatever one it takes. and bring 'em back, give them a seat, and they'll get hot again. Tommy Laren, thanks so much. We're going to watch you on Outnumbered, and we pick you up on Outkick. And were you going to be on anything else this weekend?
Nope, that'll do it. I'll be back in Nashville. All right, back in Nashville. Tommy, thanks so much. Thank you.
