Can you believe it's Sunday night already? Coming up on the show, you're going to love it. Former Secretary of State, they put a bounty on his head, did the Iranians. Mike Pompeo will be with us. You want to know about drone technology, where we're at in the battlefield?
The guy that just left the Ukrainian battlefield and fights for us, a true expert, Brett Velikovich, will be with us shortly. Is there danger in Los Angeles? And speaking of Los Angeles, Adam Corolla weighs in on the myth, which is Gavin Newsom and the reality is about hospices in California and the scandal and fraud that we found. But first, the fastest, and today, the shortest impactful monologue in America. The 47th president is the first president in 47 years to confront the radical Iranian regime, sworn enemy of America, taking on the established power that is ballistic missiles, of all ranges, and a program of weaponization when it comes to nukes, refusing to walk away from a problem.
that has plagued seven previous presidents. We've knocked out their Navy, we've knocked out their Air Force, we've knocked out all of their anti-defense. Wait, second app. There are 60 mind balls, 69 mindballs richly. Nobody has ever seen anything like it.
We have the greatest military in the world by far, not even close. You know what? They've inflicted 47 years' worth of damage into the world, and now they're paying a big price. Finally, they're paying a price. No one ever said this would be easy, although we make it look easy so often.
But to me, you have to be hard-pressed to find someone not impressed with the power of our military and the scope of our progress in less than two weeks. By definition, war is not scriptable. It demands constant adjustments, by definition. But the biggest adjustment for me so far has been getting used to the media and the opposition party called the Democrats, who all seem to be rooting against President Trump and all the success they are having. For example, watch.
Average price of one gallon in the United States is $3.54. That's a 17% increase since the start of the war. It is concerning, it is disturbing, and I'm not sure. What the end game is or what their costs are going up for many reasons, but including because of this war of choice that the president has decided on his own to wage. How disingenuous.
Look at these headlines. It actually gets worse as the media jumps on. How Trump and his advisors miscalculated Iran's response. Really? Trump's Iran war drags the world into its tear-it-down politics.
Actually, the war and the Arab states, the Gulf states have never been more united. Trump's reckless decision to pursue regime change in Iran. Reckless decision. It's 47 years in the making. Would you rather him give him pallets of cash?
Dismay as ancient heritage sites across Iran damaged as U.S.-Israel bombing. It starts with those clerics who declared war on everyone in the region, including us. If you only read these headlines, you would not know that our military has wiped out between fifty and seventy of their evil leaders, including their ruthless supreme leader who murdered thousands of his own people. You would not know that over 5,500 targets have been struck, more like 6,000 as of today, and you would not know that Iran's Navy and their Air Force has been practically wiped out. You don't know that, but now you do.
Joining us now, someone that actually does know all of this and so much more. She uses the term about the undermine America crowd, and she writes that in her new column of the Wall Street Journal.
So, Kimberly, I was struck that your column was right on the money and the theme today. I'm just struck by people seem to be rooting against America in America.
Well, and you know what, Brian? This is so relatively recent. You can go back, and not even that long ago, there are Democrats after Democrats who are on the record acknowledging the enormous security threat that Iran poses, not just to the United States, but to the region. You go back, Brian, and there were Democrats in the Senate who imperiled Barack Obama's nuke deal he was doing with Iran because they came out and they said, look, it's just not tough enough. It's not a serious proposal for dealing with this.
You go back a decade ago and you can find Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi sending comments to a free Iran rally talking about the egregious human rights abuses, and that was when the party cared about it. What's changed is the base is now anti-America, anti-Israel, reactionary to Trump, and these people don't seem to care about anything more than satisfying that base and cynically politicking all the time to get re-elected, not about the country or about our people who are fighting. This work and how we move to go for to make ourselves energy independent and the power it gives us today. But to back up your statement, we take a walk back in time for those very same people. Watch this.
We cannot allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon. I will do everything that's required to prevent it. The regime has long sponsored terrorism and threatened our interests. They should be held accountable for their actions. Iran has American blood on their hands.
Don't they get it? This president actually took action and they have a problem with it. Yeah, and it's also the way in which they're doing this, Brian. It's extraordinary. They're actually impugning the motives, okay?
I mean, it's one thing, you might not like the prosecution of the war, but the claims that we did this, I don't know, to fulfill Trump's ego, or that Iran wasn't really a threat, or that we did it for other reasons like for oil, all of this is absolutely nonsense. Everybody, as you can see there, understands the actual strategic security threat that Iran poses. And then, you know, also then claiming that it was illegal, that Congress had to be consulted, seemingly ignoring the fact that presidents going back for decades, including Barack Obama, have taken action without congressional action. They seem to be looking for anything at all and everything to complain about. And look, if it wasn't going well, I'm not asking anyone to be a cheerleader.
Just report what's happening.
So, Kevin, the other thing is you were in your column what we've done to make sure we have maximized American energy. We have done things with this administration to minimize the cost of the shutting down of the Strait of Hermuz. Yeah, you look at the problem. One reason that all presidents have been hemmed in previously with regards to Iran is that we have been too dependent on Middle Eastern oil. And remember the days?
We're old enough to remember the threat of an OPEC embargo?
Okay, you go back 2016, we're in the, you know, in the middle of a shale revolution, but Donald Trump turbocharges that, in particular, by arranging for a lot of export facilities so that we can begin giving alternate energy, the additional energy we are producing here to allies in Europe and the Pacific. That has given us a lot more running room, both here in this country and in terms of our allies, to take actions like that. And that is because we had a smart energy posture under this president. And I know because after prosecuting the war during the day, he was able to talk to me on Friday for an interview. He's juggling a lot.
Real quick, Kimberly, the amount of things the president's tackling directly. You study presidents, especially from the economic perspective. Does it amaze you? Look at some of the things that he is working on at the same time. Time, whether it's Iran front and center, the energy markets taking a lot of his time, the SAVE Act, immigration.
Of course, we're dealing with the DHS shutdown, trade tariffs. He's actually trying to fix college sports. What about the things to-do list for this president? Yeah, it's been remarkable. One thing no one can deny: this president came into the second term.
He understands he's got four years and four years only, and he is not wasting a single day of it. Has there ever, I mean, is there a single day that goes by when there are not five or six headlines that is generated out of this White House? The energy is something to behold.
Now we need to get Congress just as busy. That would be good. But Kimberly doesn't make our jobs more interesting, more fun, more challenging every single day. Kimberly Strassel, thanks so much. Be sure to read your column and watch you on the Wall Street Journal.
Thanks, Brian. Yeah.
Well, tonight, the big question in this growing conflict with Iran: what is Tehran's broader strategy across the Middle East? A key member of the so-called Axis of Resistance, that's what they call themselves, the Houthi rebels in Yemen, could they actually join the fight?
So far, they stayed mysteriously on the sideline. If they do, could they threaten global shipping routes like, for example, the Red Sea? And what exactly is Iran's game plan, and how far could this conflict spread? Let's talk about it with the former Secretary of State and CIA Director, a key figure in the first Trump administration, Ms. Secretary Mike Pompeo.
First off, why do you think, Mr. Secretary, the Houthis have not gotten involved yet? Brian, it's great to be with you. Look, my sense is they've decided it's not worth the candle for them. It's every man or every terrorist for themselves at this point.
And I think they have concluded that the massive American firepower would be crushing for them. And so rather than take the direction from the Iranian regime, which clearly would love to have them get involved, I think they've chosen for the moment to stay silent. Whether Iran can put pressure on them to join the fight in the same way they did for Hezbollah, who's just being pounded in Lebanon, I think only time will tell, but make no mistake about it. The United States is fully prepared. If the Houthis should choose to engage in the United States, we'll rain holy hell on them if they choose to do that.
And part of the reason I understand, according to a high-ranking Pentagon official, they believe Houthis haven't gotten involved because they were pounded the minute Trump got into office last year. And we remember all that. It was very effective. We haven't heard much from them since.
So I want to take a look at a couple of maps. And tell me about the Strait of Hermuz. The public is obsessed with it. Certainly, oil prices over $100 because of it. The President says, I'm not ready to escort ships.
When do you think he would be ready? And what are the circumstances for that to happen? Brian, I think they're preparing the conditions. In the same way that it took several weeks to get all of these assets in the region to keep our soldiers, sailors, airmen safe for the attack, they've got to do the same for the straits.
So there's going to take real preparation. Timelines are what everybody wants to know which day they're going to do this. That's impossible to know. It's a conditions-based effort, I promise you. Secretary Hexeth and the Chairman of the German Chiefs of Staff are doing the work to take down this risk.
And when the moment is right, when the vast majority of capability to lay mines and present real consistent risk from missiles attacking ships, when they've taken that down sufficiently, they will do the necessary and get the strait reopened. I'm convinced they can do it. Think weeks, not days, but they are deeply, deeply aware of the need to do this. They were before the attack. It's just an awful lot of work.
But I guess that's all caution, folks, Brian. The Strait hasn't been open for the last 30 years. They've been holding this over our heads for decades.
Now we're finally going to clear this out in a way that we can truly get risk premiums down and reduce the risk there, not just for a few weeks or months where we're all subject to Iranian risk, but in a way that is fundamentally different for an awfully long time. Man, Mr. Secretary, you know, the biggest joke is the president and his team didn't anticipate this. It's the fundamental thing. You go back to Jimmy Carter, all you guys knew about this from day one, but there's only a certain amount you can do to stop every single land-based missile launcher.
Right now, 75% are out. I imagine it's going to be 90%, then 95%, then they can go to work.
Meanwhile, I asked the President on my interview on Friday: I said, Look, when is it going to be okay for the Iranians to begin to rise up? After all, you've had over 5,000 hits on different targets throughout that country. Here's what he had to say. Can the Iranian people rise up and take back their country?
Well, you just mentioned to me a group of people that go around with machine guns and shoot them down. And they say if you anybody protests, we're going to kill you in the streets.
So I really think that's a big Hurdle to climb for people that don't have weapons. I think it's a very big hurdle.
So Uh that It'll happen, but it probably will be Maybe not immediately. And he's talking about the besieged, the plainclothes thugs that go around on motorcycles and kill people and beat up women, beat up and rape women if they're not having the right headdress on or they're not adhering to the moral code. What do you hear about what's happening on the ground, Mr. Secretary?
So, while there aren't boots on the ground, there's lots of activity there. Think and tell Clandiston work being done by our friends and partners. President Trump's right. It is still the case that the besiege has capacity, but I also hear that it is diminished in outlying regions. That is, we see pictures from Tehran, but not much from the other regions of Iran.
Real efforts being organized, small scale to date. But for sure, the capacity to command and control this from Tehran has diminished over these just what's now just two weeks. And so I don't know the day nor the hour, nor do I know exactly how it will arise. But the Iranian people have had enough. They've seen the failure.
The last two weeks have proved that the failure from the regime. President Trump's right to be cautious about when they can go. But the Israelis have taken down checkpoints. The United States has taken down besiege infrastructure. Those are part of the targeting chain, and I am confident we'll continue to hit them.
And at some point, I'm confident we will break the will of the Iranian regime in a way that will let the people of Iran call it rise up, call it break out. But this isn't a Netflix series. This is real work on the ground with real lives. And we can't think that for a moment this is going to happen over any, you know, we don't just turn the page and get the results like we do when we watch TV every night. And, Mr.
Secretary, you would say it if things weren't going well and things are going well, you have to be patient. Nation of 90 million who have had that brutal regime in power for almost 50 years. Mr. Secretary, thanks so much for your expertise. I'll talk to you again soon.
Thank you, Brian. Have a good day.
So, U.S. military action against Iran sparks fresh fears here at home in many corners. Federal counter-terrorism authorities warning that Iran could launch retaliatory strikes on U.S.
soil. Using those things. How vulnerable are we to cyber attacks? How about sleeper cells? How about lone wolves?
How about drone attacks? Doni Gassan is joining us right now the man that President Trump, and I put this in quotes now, says really knows his stuff when it comes to drones and more. Brett Velikovich, drone expert and founder of Power Us. Brett has spent considerable time in Ukraine helping the Ukrainians survive and thrive against Russia. Brett, great to see you.
How real is a drone attack we keep hearing about possibly in Los Angeles?
Well, it's not hypothetical anymore. And I think the recent warning from the FBI proves that the threat of drone attacks on U.S.
soil are real.
Someone out there had real intelligence information that this was a threat, otherwise, the FBI wouldn't have issued this statement. And I've been talking about that on your program for years: that we do have some vulnerabilities. That being said, we do need to fix some of our defenses here in the U.S. We need to also catch up to the Iranians' level of drone production as well. We're not even close at that scale.
We just saw recently the sort of this show of force by the Iranians where this large supply of naval suicide drones were shown off in these underground missile locations. But at the same time, they can show off warehouses full of suicide drones in their underground cities all they want. But, Brian, those drones still have to face American technology. They have to face the American warfighter. They have to fly through American air defenses.
And that's a fight that Iran's going to lose nearly every time. But I'll tell you what really concerns me. To me, the risk now is. Not conventional war. It's this distributed retaliation.
Let's acknowledge a bit more about who we're dealing with. The IRGC and particularly the Kuds Force Department has spent decades directing proxy groups to kill and kidnap Americans in other areas, not just the Middle East. That's not new. That's the playbook of the world's largest state-sponsored terrorism. The real question for me, as I'm sure it is for others as well, is how those Kuds Force officers and those networks respond in moments like this, right?
Kuds Force was the organization once run by Solomani. It's full of their best special operations officers. And unlike U.S. special operations forces, their operatives operate with virtually no oversight. They're scattered across these proxy groups.
So I would highly recommend that our president and SecDef unleash our own tier one special operations elements to counter that, to find them, to hunt them down in other countries in the region, and stop them before they get the chance to unleash these regional attacks. All right. And by the way, that's a great point. I'm sure people at home realize the president. It didn't cause this.
This threat has been there. He's addressing this. Those assassination squads after the president, Mike Pompeo, Brian Hook, John Bolton, already released. This president said, I've had enough. And it doesn't mean there's not going to be some rough days, but it's going to be necessary.
How important have been the advances in drone technology in the Ukraine war, and how vital has Ukraine's knowledge been to our Gulf states? Despite Ukraine being under non-stop barrage from Russia, they are helping the Gulf states protect themselves against the Shahed drones because they're dealing with the same drones against Russia. We should be paying attention. And to your earlier point, we all know the entire Iran regime has to go. The world knows it.
We can't let them toy with nuclear Armageddon ever again. And to stop them from unleashing this terrorism and sowing chaos around the world, we do need to look to other countries to help us employ technology that's been working against Iranian shahheads for years. The Ukrainians have some of the best technology on earth. They've got really good lessons learned where their low-cost systems have been striking down these things every single day. I think it's great that Zelensky has offered up that capability to us.
We have spent so much money. For years, on technology that costs tens of millions of dollars, that frankly, right now we can build at scale, sort of how the Iranians are doing it with $3,000 interceptor drones that we don't have to expend million-dollar missiles. And that is really unsustainable math, how we've been doing it before. I don't think we're going to run out necessarily anytime soon, but I think we need to change the apparatus of how we protect our forces overseas, how we protect Americans domestically. Obviously, we had seven brave soldiers who were killed because Iranian drones penetrated our defenses.
They should never have had to deal with that, especially with a threat that we already knew existed.
So I think we have some lessons learned in protecting our future assets around the region. And I hope we look to countries like Ukraine to help speed up that process and get us to the point where we can knock these things out of the sky and not have to spend millions of dollars in taxpayer money doing it as well. And by the way, I. We can't get into details, but it looks like Eric Schmidt, formerly of Google, is helping a lot with drone-on-drone interceptors.
So you don't go Patriot or Thad missile on drone, and that's what you're referring to. That's what we need, these great minds helping us out with some great defense. Brett, thanks for all the work you're doing and the expertise. If you knew a lot about drones five years ago, you're now out of step. You're keeping up with it every minute.
So thanks so much. Thanks, Brian. You got it. All right, so that's it for our first block. Much more to come.
Next, we got Joe Rogan slamming the war on Iran. Kinda, but we're going to unmask what he's actually saying. And Gavin Newsom blames Trump for high prices in California instead of his own policies. Adam Carolla on that next. Also, a quick note: be sure to catch me with the Fox Nation Tour.

He ran on no more wars. and these stupid, senseless wars and then We have one that we can't even really clearly define why we did it.
Well, but he said he's against endless wars. They're all endless.
Well, Joe Rogan, one of the most influential voices in media, questioning President Trump over his move to strike Iran. The podcast king remarks to journalist Michael Schellenberger, a good friend of the show too, now igniting a big debate. Is the war really causing a political divide inside Trump's own base? If you could put Joe Rogan in there, let's ask another powerhouse, the host of the Adam Carolla Show, Adam Carolla. You can hear him every day on Sirius XM in the morning on channel 111.
Adam, what's your thought? About the media jumping on Joe Rogan because, not on him, criticizing him, but when he divides from Trump, that gets on the front page of the New York Times. Your thought? Yeah, I mean the fastest way to become a media hero is just disagree with Trump. But everyone on MSNBC and CNN has been doing it the whole time, and the ladies from The View, so that's old hat.
So, what's a big deal is if you were a Trump supporter and then you criticize Trump, then you'll get on the front pages of the LA Times and the New York Times. Um I don't agree with Joe in that. I don't think it's undefined. I think it's been defined. We've talked about the nuclear threat.
We've talked about them just being a menace in the region. A huge Supporter and funder of terror and their attacks on our ally Israel. Like, I, and also. Wanting to assassinate Trump. I mean, you know, if somebody said, hey, this country, let's just say they went like, hey, Canada has put out a couple of threats trying to assassinate Adam Carolla.
And then at some point, I took over the United States and became. Controlling member of the military, I would bomb Canada or sing bomb Canada. They put a bounty on my head, now I'm in control. I hear you. And also, I think that just it takes more than just a quick look.
And I just talked about it earlier in the show. But they went to Joe Biden's DNI director in 2004. They've marked 150 separate attacks on U. S. servicemen and women by Iran or Iran affiliates.
That's Joe Biden's. They're trying to get us they've been trying to get us since 1979. But there's something else I want to talk to you about. You're out still on the West Coast. You haven't moved out yet, have you?
No, not yet.
So, Gavin Newsom, I don't know if you've noticed the price of gas, but Gavin Newsom, I guess, has the highest gas in the country, California. You deal with this on a daily basis. But now he knows, by the way, it's 537, national average is around 350, 360. He says he knows why, Adam. It's because of Donald Trump and the war in Iran.
Is that the truth?
Okay, bunch of things. First off, remember Putin's price hikes Joe Biden was pushing like five years ago? Number one.
Okay, first off, since when do Democrats care about the price of gas? Since when? All they want is pricier gas to get us out of our cars and onto their buses.
So. It's interesting that they're interested in the price of gas when they've never done anything to lower the price of gas ever. They've done everything to raise the price of gas. But here's Newsome, and who's a sociopath and a liar and has. I would say deep personal issues.
Here's Conclusion From two years ago, was the reason California pays so much more in gas prices because we're being gouged by Exxon and Mobile and BP and all the gas.
So he used to say we're being gouged by the manufacturers of gas, by the refiners. Which doesn't make sense because why wouldn't they gouge the entire country evenly? If you're there to make money, why just gouge one state because you stick out like a sore thumb if you just gouge everybody?
So that was insane. They did an audit. Turns out Newsom was lying as usual. They were not gouging. Refining fuel is so much more expensive here because we have the summer mix and the winter mix and all the different calories.
He shut down refineries. And he shut down refineries.
So we've done. with fuel what we've done with housing. It's so expensive because it's so regulated. And those. Those numbers get passed on to the consumer.
So fuel is totally regulated, and that's why. And by the way, California is funny because. When the rest of the country is worried about 60 cents more a gallon, they just get up to $3. We were at $5. A year ago, we're always above five bucks.
And you guys just accept it, by the way, taxes, 70.19% of every gallon of gas is California taxes because they want you guys using electric cars still until he's gone, I guess.
Meanwhile, another big report by CBS, who's tending to be a real news network these days, did a study on fraud in Los Angeles, in the Los Angeles area. They found that you guys have 1,700 hospices, and about 700 of them are thought to be, and indications are, fraudulent. You don't need them. Are there really that many people ready to die in Los Angeles and that they need this much money? I think both are falsities.
Oh, yeah, everything's a grift. Everything's a scam. I mean, the homeless. The bullet train, the hospice stuff. It's all.
Just a grift, and all they can think to do is tax more people more money to get more money for them to waste. Yeah, I mean, there's. Built, you know, there's 20 hospice. Locations in one storage unit in Van Euy's. Like it's in, it's insane.
There's, there is, they are not custodians at all of the money. And it's really. Insane that Bernie Sanders and Rokana and all these other douchebags get up there with a straight face and start talking about taxing the rich. Could you guys think for a moment about not squandering so many billions of dollars? Could we at least discuss that before we discuss taxing people more?
I have no sympathy for you because I'm in a state where they're raising property taxes and personal taxes, and they still have a deficit because New York is just as bad. And I'm just noticing so many Democratic commentators are starting to call out America, blue cities, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Philadelphia. And I think it's a desperate call because the American people are just leaving them and there's something that's got to change. Adam, I look forward to the day I talk to you and you've moved out of Los Angeles. This way you can keep more of your fortune for you and your family and your legacy.

Israeli officials now saying the man's brother was killed in an Israeli strike on weapons storage buildings in Lebanon on March 5th. They claim he was a Hezbollah commander. The man's other brother also reportedly died in the strike. Thursday's synagogue attack injured a security guard. And Japan's prime minister is preparing for a four-day visit to the U.S.
this week. She will meet with President Trump to reaffirm the U.S.-Japan alliance. They are also expected to discuss the ongoing conflict with Iran, including the closure of the Strait of Formuz. Trump is urging Japan to send warships to help secure it, but Tokyo is hesitant to get involved. I'm Ashley Sturmeyer back to One Nation with Brian Kilmead.
Media Moments That Matter. All right, it's that time again. This week, I gave the VCR, my TV guide, all my cords and my tape stock to Fox Nation host, Abby Hornisek. Abby, thanks so much for doing this media moments that matter, but I want to find out what matters most to you. What did you come up with?
Yes, first of all, thank you. That made me feel so powerful being in control of your TV. Hopefully, I make you proud with these topics. The first one, it was a bad week for CNN, which I know really bums you out, but I'm going to need you to hold it together for this segment. As we know, last week there were two men that traveled from Pennsylvania to the city.
Two teenagers. Two teenagers came in with homemade bombs meant for the protesters in front of Merrimdani's home. Could have killed thousands. Could have killed thousands. Very serious, but CNN apparently doesn't think so because this is a now-deleted post.
This is what they had to say: two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could have been a normal day, enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather. But in less than an hour, Their lives would drastically change as the pair would be arrested, as if they're the victims, for throwing homemade bombs during an anti-Muslim outside protest, Mayor, outside, a protest outside of Mayor Mamdani's home. Here's what we know so far.
So, I mean, they're making it seem like it's just some light thing. Oh, they came in, they could have been enjoying the weather, Brian. To me, it was absolutely incredible, insulting to the point where they got to walk it back and they had to correct it. But why are you going out of your way to paint these two bombers, Islamic extremists, who wrote down on a piece of paper, I am ISIS? Yes, they also said they wanted to be bigger than the Boston bombing.
Yeah, so it's not like, well, don't jump to conclusions. They're jumping to conclusions. In fact, this is so crazy.
Somebody weighed in. Byballon B's owner, founder, and CEO, Seth Dillon. Watch this. It's one of those examples where you run across something real and you have to double-check: like, did this come from an actual news organization or is this satire? Because you read that and it does sound like something that we might write, making fun of a news organization that is unable to report the truth, unwilling to report the truth.
So, you know, it's kind of funny on its face at first when you glance at it, and then you realize: wait, this came from CNN. And I think it's funny how CNN is like. Extremely similar to us in the sense that they publish funny fake news, but the difference is we actually admit that we're joking. You know, like we're trying to joke. They're actually trying to be serious with it.
So that's the main distinction. Plus, our stories come true sometimes. Yeah, you ever look at a headline and be like, is this Babylon B?
Well, or the banners underneath they're rooting against us. And then Abby Phillips had to walk back with something that she said during the week. You didn't stop there. No, I did not. I know that you want to talk about Stephen A.
Smith, the man of many opinions. He was on with Sean Hannity and he gave his opinion on who he would vote for in the 2028 election. This is what he had to say. I'd vote for Westmore, governor of Maryland. I'd vote for Josh Shapiro, governor of Pennsylvania.
I'd vote for Marco Rubio.
Okay. Talk about what is it about Marco? He's an adult in the room. There is no questioning his qualifications for the Fitzmarco and anyone other than Wes and Josh. You vote for Marco over the Democrat?
Yes. Over Newsom? Yes. Over Kamala? Yes.
I'd vote for Marco Rubio over anybody that's out there right now, other than Westmore or Josh Shapiro. It says a lot because he's a Democrat. Does that shock you, though? Because you look at the polls, an NBC just did a recent poll, and they found that only 34% responded favorably to Kamala Harris, only 27% responded favorably to Newsome.
So if you're looking at Marco Rubio, it's not that, I mean, Stephen A. is all about his hot takes, but I don't know that's that hot of a take. It's interesting that he be that open to Marco Rubio because a lot of Republicans are more open to Rubio and they're talking more about him than J.D. Vance too.
So his star is ascended on pure results. We got to get you a dartboard, that much I know. All right, last one. This one is a sports topic. I know you're a sports guy.
We love that trash talking. Logan Paul apparently offered a million dollars for NFL players to come box him, right? He was supposed to box against L'Avion Bell. The WWE said, hey, we don't want you to get hurt. He's exactly strong guy.
And now Gronk has something to say about it. Listen here. I saw that he was actually commenting as well that he could what my ass. If Logan Paul wants a piece of me, we're both playing in the flag football game on March 21st. In LA, and I can tell you this, okay?
The last time, you know, players talk trash to me on a football field, you know, I threw someone out of the club, I broke necks, I laid out defensive ends, I pummeled safeties, no one can tackle me, so if Logan Paul wants a piece of me, I'm down to throw it. He won't be able to cover me, he won't be able to grab my flag, I'm gonna smoke him, I can probably play defensive back on him, and I'm gonna whoop his that's great because they're all going to Saudi Arabia to play flag football. Tom Brady's going to be quarterback, Gronk.
So they could end up fighting. They could also be on the same team. There's supposedly a draft that happens. Oh, so you got, though, Gronk or Logan Paul? Logan Paul, if you can fight, it doesn't matter how tough you are.
You know this. If that guy trains every day, it doesn't matter how tough you are. Yeah, but Gronk will just be all silly around and he'll distract him until he can take him down. I think silly as a fighting skill is underrated. I underappreciated it.
I never thought silly would be an advantage. But it's always great to have you, Abby. Thanks.
Now go hike a mountain because I always. Go to you on, check out Fox Station. Your stuff is sensational.

Can you tell me what is queering the map?
So I think we were trying to make the maps more gay. Literally, that's how do you make a map more gay? I mean, especially if I, you know, since the age of cartography, we've had pretty good maps, but maybe they weren't gay enough.
So I know also, I took critical theory in college. I think sometimes people use queer as a verb. I do understand that the maps that we were trying to make gay were, I think, of Czechia and Slovakia.
So maybe those countries asked for it. I doubt it, but I don't know. Nothing gets funnier than that. It actually sounds fake. But it's very real, and I'm sad about it.
The State Department facing tough questions on Capitol Hill. They got to justify things like that. Florida Congressman Brian Mask, who's the chairman now of that department, pressing the agency about the buy-in grant tied to diversity and education programs, DEI, including describing queering the map, a phrase I hope never to use again. The moment quickly went viral as lawmakers questioned how taxpayer dollars were being used in the name of cultural diplomacy. Joining us now to discuss this, shaking your head, Fox News, Sunday anchor, chief legal correspondent, author of a brand new book, bestseller, Nothing is Impossible with God, Shannon Bream.
First off, Shannon, I know you think I made that up, and it's maybe an episode of Impractical Jokers, but that is weird. That is real. I honestly thought it was an SNL skit, and I'm not kidding. I cover Capitol Hill. I sit through these hearings, and I have never seen one quite like this.
But we did hear about queer parades in Ecuador and El Salvador and all this stuff. And if it's using taxpayer money, we do have a right to know exactly. Exactly what's being done with it because people, the hard-working Americans watching this show, do not go to work to pay taxes for all kinds of things that they would have never in their personal lives said, Yes, I would like to give my money to that. Right, so queering the map, things like that. That's why you're not going to be able to do that.
I don't even know what that means. I'm not sure either, but she does. Apparently, it's really confusing. It sounded like she wanted Brian Mass to apologize for not having gay maps. And I don't think he's going to.
All right, don't be confused. Put America at home, tell me what you think. You could always write the show. Shannon, there's something else I'd like to talk to you about, and I think it's really important. One of the things I like to go over is what's going on in Texas.
More hope than ever for Democrats that they have the candidate with the charisma. And the Q rating to actually bring that, turn that Senate seat blue, James Tallarico.
Now that he's ascended and beat Congresswoman Crockett, do you think there's anything in his background that could hold him up?
Well, the ads have already started. And I think a lot of it is he leans heavily on faith because obviously, in the deep south, in a very generally red state like Texas, that's going to be something that's going to resonate and connect with people. But when he talks about things and he talks about Jesus being non-binary, he talks about Mary giving her ascent to the angel Gabriel to be impregnated for the virgin birth. He's going to lose a lot of people in Texas over that kind of stuff. But the ads kind of just right themselves.
For example, this really happened, and yes, he really said it. God is both masculine. And feminine and everything in between. God is non-binary. What's the everything in between?
I bet you are. I mean, the thing is, we know new for religious biblical things. I don't want to question other people's faith, but I'm just saying Genesis is the very beginning of the Bible, and it talks about he created them male and female in God's image. You know what I'm saying? There are some guidelines there that I just would have some questions for him.
But maybe if he reads my new book. Right.
So let's talk about your book.
Okay. People are finding it very inspirational. I hope so. Here it is: it is nothing is impossible with God. What did you discover in researching it and picking your 11 stories?
There's nothing new under the sun because whatever you're struggling through now, whether it's a physical challenge, financial, career, losing someone you love, those things are all happening in the Bible. And we see how God works through them as difficult as they are. Not that God says, I'll change your circumstances. I've walked through things in my life, I'm sure you have too, where my prayers weren't answered maybe the way I wanted to, but there was purpose in it. And God was faithful to walk with me through it.
So I want people to be encouraged, but also equipped. There's practical stuff here if you're struggling, some guidelines and principles to help you. And by the way, as much as you know, you learned a lot in researching these stories, right? I do. There's much more to learn.
Right.
I always think I've learned everything until I see you, Shannon, and I realize Fox News Sunday is coming up, and that's when I get out my pen and I realize what my week's going to be like and what I should be focusing on. You promised me we could dance our way out of this segment. Right.
She always wants me to dance. Remember what Brett Eldritch said: I never met a dance floor that did me any good. This is the new dance floor. Thank you very much, Shannon. It's time for me to tell everybody their sneak peek of the week and what to look forward to as we make our way through.
Some of the major things that are going to be happening first: Senator Mark Wayne Mullen is going to try to be the next Secretary of Homeland Security. He's finally going to have his hearing. It's going to be fireworks, but I expect him to get 70, 80 votes. What about this? New Postmaster General to be grilled amid Postal Service funding crisis.
It turns out, charging everyone a penny for a stamp doesn't balance out your checkbook. And finally, the World Baseball Classic, the baseball's version of the World Cup, will take place March 17th. It'll be on Fox. We're going to have a championship game. March Madness Tournament starts.
That's when a lot of you will lose a lot of money and all of you will enjoy it. Basketball, the NBA ratings are not high, but college basketball, some of which are older than many in the NBA, those ratings are through the roof. Sad news. That's it for us tonight. Be sure to join me on my radio show, 9 to noon.
I don't want to burden you with guests, but a lot of good ones. Be sure to catch me on Fox and Friends in just a few hours. Hours. I'm going to jump in the shower, change my outfit, put in a tie, and I'll be ready. My last message: it's actually two of them: stay within yourself and always keep it here on Fox News.
I got to go. Yeah.
