And you said that this team, you look at it in the positive. Yes. You say, hey, they're well represented, very patriotic. They seem to really love the country. And that's a relief compared to what we've been dealing with with Megan Rapino and her other teammates.
Now, I wouldn't put Carly Lloyd in that spot because Carly Lloyd never bought into that, but teammates have done on the world stage in the past. Totally. Look, you're the soccer fan. You care about the sport play by play. And that is fair.
And you want to win. And we, as Americans, want to win. I'm watching this from more of a cultural, political standpoint. And I don't think sports should be political. Megan Rapino made them political, but this team stood for the anthem.
They talked about their faith. They were a great representation of America up until the end where Brian, look, in fairness, I didn't watch the game, but I have heard from more than just you that it was not the best showing for the US of A. Yeah. And I think More people will tell you that, Kaylee. By the time you get to outnumber today, I think you will change your tune.
Okay. But this way, I don't care about losing. I know this sounds un-American. If you give your best, you leave it out in the field, you hit a post, you lose two. I get it.
Sometimes you give your role and you lose by three goals. And I go, look, the other team was better. You let us know you were better than these guys, and then you let us know you're not going to beat these guys because you didn't show up. The only thing I care about in life is effort. Yeah, that's all I care about.
And the other stuff, you know, you build skill along the way, and whatever you do, what we're doing now. But if you give it all, and sometimes you have a bad show, it happens. But if you don't prepare for that show, that's on you. And so I'm not going to say, well, you had a bad day. You didn't prepare for your show.
Well, I didn't really have the good questions.
Well, why didn't you?
Well, I didn't prepare for the show. I'm not going to make excuse for you. You blew it. But if you prepare for the show, and sometimes you don't feel like you don't feel great. And you go, wow, I didn't do a good job on that show, but I tried.
Let me figure out what I did wrong. But you can't say you didn't put the effort in. You put the effort into everything. You're the most well-researched person I've ever seen. Even when you were on the press secretary, when you were on CNN as a pundit, you were ready for nine arguments.
Everybody was against you. Good training for Trump land. Indeed.
So no one ever questions your effort. That's the only thing. That's why I put winning and losing below effort. Yes. My dad has a quote, and it's a great one.
It's from a high school basketball coach. I don't know his name. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. And I was trying to tell my daughter that this week. You got to work hard no matter what you do because you can beat the most talented person if you just put in the hard work.
So I get that. But here's a question. I saw some people saying this on X. Do you think they showed up? And think about you're in your home country.
Everyone's so excited. You're winning all these matches. You show up and you don't realize how much you underestimated this Belgian team. I think they read that they had had 18. They've won their last 18 games.
So they beat a 5-2 last time. But listen, that same team was down 2-0 to Senegal with five minutes left, a team they were supposed to beat. And they rally, got two fortunate goals, and then surviving. I actually thought Senegal was going to give the U.S. a harder time.
But yeah, I mean, there's sometimes you do, but that's why I'm saying if you, if that team is better than you and you get stripped to the ball, do you hustle back? You know, so with, you know, they're tall in the middle, they're aggressive in the middle. Does that mean you don't go for the ball? Yeah. So I watched that second goal.
was the first goal.
Well, the ball goes up in the air, gets clearing head by the U. S. The ball drops down around the twenty, and I'm watching two American players. All you do is run through the ball. You could be eight you could be a sixteen year old Division two player.
Whatever, you know, you could be a club player. You just run through the ball. And then you bodies fly, but the ball's there, you're never going to get a penalty. But to sit there and watch it land in the Dutch, excuse me, the Danish player just comes, wait, Denmark? No, Belgium.
The Belgian player one times it over to the middle, outheads a guy where the goalie sits on his line, Harvard grad. He's too smart to sit on his line at that moment. Go take, you know, you take him in. You can use your hands. I hear you trying to talk down Harvard as I sport my Harvard ring sitting here at this microphone.
Another reason to resent the Ivys. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Look, they didn't pull it off. It wasn't a miracle on ice moment, if you will. But yeah, I hear you.
You got to hustle. Lawrence Jones was saying at points they were just slightly jogging places.
So I gotcha. No A for effort for the team. More and tea. Ever heard of Warren Chi? It's an energy someone gives off when they have an American Home Shield warranty.

So let's talk about stuff that really matters in the present United States, the tone that you got, Kaylee, when he landed, met with Erdogan, the body language, and then what we were able to pick up on Fox and Friends into our show on the byland. Yeah, it's interesting because, you know, there's this. American media views this through the prism of strongmen countries and Western European democracies, and they're correct on that. But President Trump said, look, weak or strong, whatever, I get along with people who deliver. And we've seen that with the Turkish president.
Is he a perfect guy? Absolutely not. Does he have all sorts of problems domestically with personal freedoms? Yes, he does. That being said, he's delivered for the United States when the president has asked.
And it will be really interesting to see if that friendship can translate, because it is in Turkey, into kind of a conduit between the president and the European powers, who he is more hostile with, having Erdogan right there in the middle. It'll be fascinating 48 hours. You know, I was thinking, too, he's the bridge to Iran because he has relations with Iran. He's also a bridge to Russia. He's got a relationship with Russia.
And at one point, you got to think Erdogan is telling Putin.
Someone's got to tell him he has no way out right now. It doesn't seem like he has any way out while keeping his fragile ego intact. Is there an off-ramp where he has somewhat of uh saves face? In this situation, and we ended here. We're all spending, every nation is spending money for Ukraine, costing us money with Russia.
And you know, Russia is Really terrible economically right now. Yeah, this will be something to watch too. Erdogan kind of sees himself, I was reading, as this bridge between the East and the West. And you think about it, he's the only real representative of the Eastern Hemisphere in NATO.
So he is in this unique position where he has these relationships, let's say, with Putin, that can be this kind of bridge building between the Western European powers, the United States, and the East, and as a representative of the Middle East.
So it will be really something to see how that's utilized. It's a big opportunity for Erdogan to be a bridge builder, and we'll see if he takes on that role. Before you go, and I know you got ready for outnumbers, is that the only other show you're doing today? Only outnumbered the back with you guys on Fox and Friends tomorrow. That's awesome.
And outnumbered again, I'm going to go. And Angeli's Addow Weeks, always love when you fill in. Graham Plattner on the new allegations of rape. adding to everything else about this horrible candidate over in Maine that got the Democratic nomination already, cut 30. I wanted to directly address the troubling, serious, and false allegations against me.
Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically false. Regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting, but mindful of the political reality it will inflict. We are taking the time to reflect on the best path forward for the state that I love, the people that I love. the movement I belong to, and the goal of defeating Susan Collins. Those were the goals when we launched this campaign.
And they remain my goals today. He's got six days to drop out, Kaylee, so they can put somebody else in there. Will he? I'm going to make a prediction that by the time we finish Fox and Friends tomorrow, I think he will have dropped out. Party leaders told Punch Bowl that they think he will drop out as soon as today.
Look, maybe it's later tomorrow, maybe the next day, but you've got Chuck Schumer standing against you. You've got your allies like RoConna, Elizabeth Warren. I don't think we've heard from Hakeem Jeffries yet, but you have the state party saying we're not going to throw money into this race. At a certain point, the political pressure is too hot. And I think he sent us a big signal yesterday when he postponed his rally.
I think he's thinking long and hard about this. He's trying to broker to get a progressive in the spot if he steps aside, but I do think he ends up stepping aside. Right. And there's a bunch of names. We probably don't know if you're in Maine politics.
Maybe you do. Stay politics, the Attorney General, somebody's going to step in there, but not the 78-year-old, 79-year-old governor who was running and Schumer wanted her to. Yep, Schumer wanted. Look, this is a big kind of look what you did moment for Chuck Schumer because he wanted the governor. He warned.
Against Plattner, he didn't get his way. And look what happened. It came full circle. Chuck Schumer was right after all. And I think it's a big moment for kind of the moderate wing of the party.
But why did it take this long to dismiss the guy? The Nazi tattoo wasn't enough.
Socialists in Maine goes up in flames.
