Hope you're in the middle of a fantastic Labor Day weekend. It's going to get better. Look at the show we lined up tonight. Lieutenant Colonel Scott Rutter. I saw him in the fields in Kuwait right before the war in Iraq.
What was 20 years of war like? He talks about that and how the face of war has changed. Tammy Pescatelli is going to be with us. Brand new special out. She's going to do the news duel.
And of course, Brian Callan. There should be a price that everyone pays for anti-Semitism. You might be surprised by what he's recommending. But first, the fastest, most impactful monologue in America.
So, as we get to celebrate and enjoy Labor Day, I want to put a focus on the word labor and work ethic or lack thereof. With socialism becoming the rage, I'm talking about among Democrats. They seem to be fresh out of ideas. They seem to be having an identity crisis now. The whole point of the American spirit, I thought, is being buried beneath the headlines, I feel, like our innate nature to compete in the workforce.
Instead, This is the message we're getting. The sad reality is Americans now work more hours. than the people of any other wealthy nation. A lower work week, 32-hour work week. This is not a radical idea.
But one of the issues that we have got to talk about is stress in this country. We, the people of the United States of America, demand that one job with no need for overtime should be enough. for our most basic needs. which also include rest. Right?
I mean, can you? That's Charles Payne. He's going to be on with us in a second. It's nuts. That is the anti-American attitude.
Yeah, everything for free, let's work less, and complain.
Meanwhile, nothing is free. We are going to freeze the rent for more than two million rent-stabilized tenants. And use every resource at our disposal to build housing for everyone who needs it. We are going to eliminate the fare on every single bus line. And make what are currently the slowest buses in the nation move around this city with ease.
Yeah. And we are going to create universal childcare at no cost to parents. Right, none of that works. And in life, As you can imagine, nothing's for free. And the costliest mistake from thinking that way is never knowing the true value of hard work and the results it gets, creating your own opportunities.
You know, easy times make weak people. Weak people create terrible times. Work hard, there's no replacement. I still see a lot of people who think they make a shortcut to heroic something. It's almost never true.
One is recognize that life is a competitive endeavor. You don't actually get a trophy in the real world just for showing up like little kids' soccer. Remember, our son used to come home. He never even scored a basket in basketball. Even when they actually gave him a free in the final game, they said, okay, just you gotta get one.
He still came home with a trophy of some type. Yeah, he went on to say, life's a competition. It was my idea to put the music underneath there.
So, in retrospect, I probably shouldn't have. Yep, some Americans feel frustrating right now. Everyday expenses are higher than usual, utilities, gas, groceries, I get it. But guess what?
So are wages higher. But whatever happened to being resourceful, being entrepreneurial, being versatile, adapting and reacting, that's part of the American spirit. America presents opportunity for success and your version of happiness, but it does not guarantee it. It's all about enjoying the pursuit. Getting in the game and competing.
Because, after all, the American way is being able to. find a way. And joining me now to talk about that is someone who absolutely found a way. And that is Charles Payne. Charles, I get it.
You look at these business stats, and I know the wages and groceries are a little bit higher than usual, and I've been for the last few years. But this is not unprecedented in American history. These are still good times in the big picture. The irony of all ironies is this is the result of the unmitigated success of America. This is a luxury.
The stuff they're talking about is a luxury conversation to have. I mean, let's go back, right, to the Second Industrial Revolution, right after the Civil War. We were just this young, struggling country where we lived. From season to season, we prayed that the crop would come in, otherwise, people would die. Then we had the Second Industrial Revolution.
All of a sudden, America, the entrepreneurial spirit, we're inventing things, we're doing things. The Rockefellers, the Carnegies. The so-called Robert Barons. You know what happened when the Robert Barons came on the scene? Our life expectancy went up.
Our wages went up. We had the Chicago World's Fair 1893. We introduced this thing to civilization called consumer discretionary. We had extra money. We bought juicy fruit gum with it.
We took our girlfriend on a Ferris wheel. That's what happened in America. And the irony of all ironies is the conversations that they're having, you can only have with a full belly. You can only have with a roof over your head. It's a luxury conversation that the vast majority of the world isn't dealing with.
They're still trying to live day to day.
So it's crazy because people who don't know how we got here. Want to dismantle it and romanticize a nation that can never be successful. Just in your story. Did anyone ever tell you life's not fair, work less? Did anyone tell you don't worry those buses should be free?
Or did you just say, I'm going to find a way?
Well, you know, my mom, my dad told me I was always going to have to serve in the military. He was career army. And my mother said, You always have to work hard. Work, work, work, work, work, work, work. I've been working since I'm 12 years old.
And so. But I love it though. And I think that's the problem.
Sometimes people will tell me, like, I had a guy who was driving to me the other day. We're talking, he's like, man, you work too much. I said, golly, every time someone tells me that, I kind of feel sorry for him, Brian. Because that means they probably don't like their job. Because I love what I do, and I feel like if I didn't do it for a living, it would be my hobby.
But we have to understand getting our hands dirty, working, the product of that. It's not just to eat, it's just not to pay bills. It's like we leave a legacy. We help our fellow man and woman. You know, there's so much more to the notion of working.
The idea of, oh, the buses on, you know, the last politician that ran on getting the buses and trains on time was Mussolini.
So be careful when you start talking about this. And by the way, he did. It came with some hellified side effects, though. Yeah, called fascism, and he got hung for it in the end. Scott Besson talked about socialism, and he talked about the economy right now.
Watch. When you talk about socialism here in the U.S., when we look at the demographic of those voters, they are overeducated and under earning. Yes.
So these are underachievers who are jealous of the those who want to go and work every day. Is he right? He is right. That was one of the phenomenons I said when Mandani wanted. He looked at all the neighborhoods, and a lot of them used to be like black and Hispanic, but they're all these up-and-coming folks, gentrification.
Same thing in D.C. D.C. has 60% college grads. Everywhere where these so-called Democratic Socialists have been over-educated folks who want something right away. Right.
They don't want to put the effort into it. But I think something else is going on here, man. and it's not socialism, it's anarchy. And RK is a political philosophy that's not talked about a lot. But it's total destruction, annihilation.
Part of it is what Scott Besson hit on in terms of jealousy, just a serious dislike for the success of America. And backing up your theory, what do they want? Open borders, no prisons, no Senate, no Supreme Court, rework the presidency. That's anarchy. I want you to ask.
So, Democrats, we know there's a midterm coming up, and that's all we're going to be talking about, you even on your business show. And so you've got to wonder if the Democrats are successful, if they go through history and they get the Senate of the House, what would they do?
So that question was posed to a guy that might be the Speaker. Watch. More, can you tell us about the agenda the Democrats will have specifically beyond accountability, beyond affordability, any specific legislation, or any particular investigations that you will prioritize?
Well, we're focused. on winning the election and making the case to the American people. He has no agenda. It's the it's the is the the the that the that left wing search. That so-called democratic socialists are going to set the agenda.
Wealth tax. Wealth tax They free everything, higher taxes. DEI coming back. DEI will come back. Open borders will come back.
Investigations. Is that an agenda? Maybe, you know, I mean, listen, if they think Trump is out, maybe they were so myopically focused on Trump. We'll see. These younger folks actually are just more focused on disarray.
So we'll see what happens. The fact is, I don't think that the older guys, like Jeffries and these other people, the Schumers out there, they're scared to death. AOC was rejected by the Democratic Socialists. And she had to go re-sign up again.
So, Charles, if you're a Republican, you have your agenda, but you also have the Iran war, which I believe thoroughly, it's 30, 47 years in the making, and you have the Hormuz Strait, and people have focused on what it is, how much it costs for a barrel of oil.
So, what should the GOP be focused on? What can they control?
Well, I think articulate why we're in Iran. You mentioned 47 years, but. And it's going to be about the economy. Yeah, ultimately it is about the economy. You know, one thing that's interesting in this country, we laud China for always playing the long game.
But here we are every two years we played a midterm game and then a general electric game. You cannot have a long-term successful country or business if you have to micromanage it minute to minute to appease everyone.
So you have to articulate a message that, hey, maybe periodic bouts of pain. What Reagan did, what Paul Volcker did, and initially was a lot of pain. But we were fighting a massive inflation. They had to painfully bring this economy into and that was by raising rates for a while, right? Right, right.
So are you saying that the rates might go up? No, I don't think rates are going to go up, and I hope they don't go up because I think the Federal Reserve needs to be revamped. I think the Federal Reserve was designed, the creature from Jucko Island, it was designed for the wealthiest of the wealthy. And I really believe that Kevin Wars wants to change it and make it something for Main Street, and that's why he's getting so much pushback. But all I'm saying is, if I'm articulating a message, my message is: let's think about the next 100 years.
And set ourselves up for that.
Now, luckily, we've got the lead in things like AI and other things, but let's not blow it. Cut regulation, oil and gas become self-sufficient, and then when this thing comes to an end, we'll have one less enemy in the world. Hopefully, a new regime in our world. And build as many data centers as we can build. Yes, build the data centers.
Don't believe the bots. Thank you so much, Charles Payne. And I'm Jordan, I'm so glad that AOC got you to laugh out that loud through the monologue. Work less, everybody. You should not have to work more than two hours.
I wasn't ready for it. I'm like, I know. It made me laugh too. Sad, but some people will vote for it because of that. Thanks so much, Charles.
You got it, man. You know what? I was just thinking, I need a personal tour of the M1A1 Abrams tank. Who could possibly do it? Might it be Sergeant Williams, might it be Private Salem, could it be Specialist Silves?
Guys, what do you say? Sir, let's go. I think he was gonna say yes. How do you get in? First off.
Bottom? I eventually went into the M1A1 and I got out. And that was right before the Iraq War in Kuwait in February 2003, just weeks before Operation Iraqi Freedom started. My next guest was in the field with me, or I was in the field with him, as he was commander of the 2nd Battalion, 7th Infantry, which made the initial assault from Kuwait into Iraq all the way to Baghdad. He actually took me to the open field and tried to teach me how to shoot.
He's taking on the Iraqi Special Republican Guard, capturing Baghdad International Airport, making history in the process. Since then, the battlefield has changed so much, and so has the American way. From boots on the ground to drones to cyber warfare to modern military strategy, how will these changes impact operations in Iran, in Cuba, Venezuela, and beyond? Here to expand on this is the man who taught me so much and now has a book out himself calling Damn Fine Soldiers, which chronicles his year out in the field as one of America's finest leaders. Lieutenant Colonel Scott Rutter, great to see you.
Now retired. Right, I'd love to write the forward for it. First off, thanks for being so nice to me out in the desert. It was amazing what you guys were able to accomplish. But man, after seeing what you guys did for 20 years and the sacrifice you made, the American public does not want to put troops on the ground again.
Are they right? Here we are to the full circle, and thank you so much for the opportunity in order to come back here to talk about you as well as the great Dan Fine soldiers that I had the honor to command. Condition setting and shaping opportunities are so important before we put boots on the ground and to take a look at all of those phases, even from the aftermath. How do we plan to deal with that? You know, the soldiers that I had the honor to command, the individuals that you saw, annihilated the Republican Guard.
That's not the hard part, not to say that. The aftermath is the challenge. If we do put boots on the ground, I'm sure that we're looking at those conditions that need to happen from the rearward of occupation and so forth. What did you learn about yourself through those years? I learned a lot that, you know, trust.
I learned a lot about the soldiers, and I learned about the young individuals that are out there. Give them the equipment now. Transformation, so important for soldiers to have an opportunity to be part of the solution, to break it, to give feedback. Give them the 80% solution before they actually. Get the 110% solution.
Five years too late. Did you feel as though Washington knew what you needed in the field? Were they responsive? Because one of the things I heard that was so special about us is we empowered. The officers in the field to make decisions on their own.
And that's one thing the Russians don't do and these other armies don't do. We did. I had the opportunity in order to lead and the command at my direction. We were given new equipment. We were given 27 FBCB2, more like OnStar, we used to call it back then and so forth, ripped off the unit in Texas, brought to Kuwait.
We were trained on it. And by the time March 25th, we knew how to use it. And those capabilities were pushed forward. I call that transformation in combat.
Now, what we're doing is transformation in contact, giving soldiers equipment. It's important to give them the equipment now so they can break it and work with it.
So, now if you're in the field, AI is being used.
Now, drones are being used at a much lower cost. Interceptors are extremely valuable, as are the rockets they're shopping for them to knock down. That's changed a lot since 2003. Yeah. It takes Ukraine more than Iran.
It takes the soldiers. I mean, it's so important to understand you can't outsource the soldiers, the tech, the mental, the information that they need in order to make those decisions, those timely decisions in order to strike at the most decisive time to accomplish their mission. I believe that your generation, which we're in the middle of right now, is as good pound for pound as any. The way you guys serve, how smart you guys are, how you had to innovate in the field. And it looks as though the military is becoming a real destination.
Place again. Thanks to what you've done, the U.S. military recruitment is soaring. Look at the Army. They all have hit their goals.
61,500 just signed up. Then you've got the Navy hitting their goals, the Air Force off the charts, then the Marines and Space Force, which is a brand new branch. Why are we hitting our recruiting goals now? This is the next generation. The individuals, the soldiers, focused on getting the jobs done.
We're getting there because, you know, people want to serve, and young men and women want to protect their country and to learn and to get to the next step. I would not be where I'm at right now, and a lot of the soldiers that we had would not be where they're at right now. But we got to take care of the soldiers. I lost 10 great soldiers, had over 50 seriously wounded.
Some of the soldiers that you saw when you were with us, and you were there with us. And this is a full circle coming back to the studio and having the opportunity to talk about those young soldiers.
Some of those didn't come back. They wrote their last letter to their families.
So I applaud the efforts that are happening now by different organizations that are out there. I'm part of the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors TAPS, but we have to take a look at the other 90%, the 90% of the soldiers that want to come back and they want to integrate into neighborhoods. Think about those towns in New Jersey as well as New York that were made. By World War II generations, the greatest generation.
Now, they're not moving into New Jersey and New York. High taxes, property tax, and incentives. We need to get our act together. And I ask the politicians, not at the national level, at the state and the county level, to look at those benefits, those tax incentives, those property tax incentives, in order to get veterans to move back into their community. We are getting out our main enemy.
Lieutenant Colonel Scott Rutter, thanks so much for your service. Pick up damn fine soldiers. It's fantastic. All right, thanks, Scott. Great to see you.
Okay, great to see you, Brian.
Meanwhile, coming up straight ahead on this show. Anti-Semitism is on the rise as the leftist leaders fuel the flames. And President Trump wants Hollywood to go back to being Hollywood comedian and actor. Brian Callan is here next with all of that. And be sure to catch me this fall.

Then over in November, I'll be in Florida at Clearwater as well as Jacksonville, finishing up in St. Louis.

You don't like the Jews, you're not allowed to use their inventions. You want to go through it? You know, the MRI machine? You go in there, you got a little lump, they don't know what it is, you tore something, invented by a Jew. How about Hollywood?
Invented by four Polish Jewish refugees. Half the white volunteers during the civil rights movement were Jews. The lawyers that drew up all that legislation, Jews. The songs that us Christians love to listen to on Christmas, like Silver Bells, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. The top 20 songs all us Christians play during Christmas were written by, say it with me, Jews.
We can just keep on going. Yep, we could. Comedian Brian Callen. Making his point with a little bit of humor, but a lot of facts. And there is so many facts behind the funny.
Voters say anti-Semitism is on the rise in America, but you all know that.
Socialists, politicians, powerful online voices are facing growing scrutiny over rhetoric that critics say is fueling the flames, you think?
So, what's behind this surge, and why is it even finding an audience? Joining us now, comedian actor Brian Callen, who you just saw. Brian, it sounds like through The humor comes a little bit of anger and disbelief. What made you want to say that? Do the research and say that.
Well first of all anti-Semitism Has been on the rise probably since Moses had a parting of the ways with the Pharaoh. It's not a new thing, but I think now people have social media accounts, so you're seeing a lot more of it October 7th, obviously. But if you're an older, A person who's Jewish, my guess is you probably weren't that surprised by the celebrations October 8th. But I think what got to me was seeing this rise in anti-Semitism, I thought to myself. If you are part of this country, this great grand experiment called the United States.
You know, Osgin is the scholar said that. The number one book that was cited by the framers, or the book that was cited by the framers most, was Deuteronomy. And then I started looking into things. By the way, the MRI machine itself was invented by somebody who was Armenian, but the foundational technology, the nuclear magnetism, was Felix Bloch and a couple other Jewish scientists. And then I thought to myself, take a look, if you like music, take a look at all of Elvis' hits.
Let's take Jailhouse Rock, Hound Dog. It just keeps going. Lieberman and Stoller. Two Jews. If you like musicals, take a look at all the musicals on Broadway.
It's literally a Jewish expression. You know, this country was founded on the Judeo-Christian ethic. Not the Christian ethic, but the Judeo-Christian ethic. You got the Old Testament, you got the New Testament. And so whenever I see people who forget.
Or have no idea what they benefit from. Jonah Salk. The reason we probably haven't buried a lot of our children, the worst thing you can imagine, is because of that technology, because of vaccines. You want to stalk, by the way, who didn't take who didn't patent it, said this is part of the public good and gave it away. Jewish So I just like to give credit where it's due.
You know, it's a true minority of people, but they've had an outsized impact because they've been the most innovative people on the planet. If you have a problem with the Netanyahu regime and Israel, that's a different subject. But when you start seeing it bleed into where anti-Semitism is acceptable on the left and the right, that's new in my lifetime. And it worries me. It does.
It absolutely worries me. And I'm not Jewish, and you're not Jewish either, are you? Me neither. Yeah, so let's take a look at this recent poll. It says 56% of the country believe that anti-Semitism has increased.
29% has increased a lot. 27% somewhat. I don't know who doesn't. I would circle almost everybody who believes it has increased. And I will say it has caught me by surprise.
And the other thing, adding to the Israel situation, Netanyahu might win or might not win in the fall.
Okay. It's not up to me. I don't have no idea what's happening politically. But do you think there's a Jewish leader that will say it's okay for Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran to rocket and terrorize them on a regular basis? I have news for you.
They're going to fight back. And they're pretty good at fighting. And it's not their fault that they always win. Yeah. Well, I think Overall, any threat to Israel is existential.
I think it's difficult for people to understand that. It's literally an existential threat. You know, again, someone like Netanyahu wasn't surprised at the celebrations. On October 8th, in European cities. Right?
When you live that way, now you can have an argument about proportionality and things like that. I don't get involved in that. I don't touch that. I personally think that whole conflict is biblical. That's being worked out on somebody else's.
you know, time time code and everything else. But For the most part, I think that, yeah, the reason they're so good at fighting is because if you don't win, you die. Those are pretty heavy stakes. Got you, right? That's a great point.
Real quick, there's something else that happened since you came on, and that is the president's focusing on Hollywood. And he's offering tax incentive to keep Get movies back here. I was stunned by this stat. You know, in 2022, 32% of films, movies and films and series, were shot overseas, shot internationally. That's up to 45%.
It's too expensive. To shoot movies in a place that invented movies, and impossible really to do it in Hollywood, which is synonymous with T V and movies.
So, will this exactly think? Yeah, I hope so. Look, why is it more exp why is it cheaper to take my entire production crew, to take everything and move it to Bulgaria, to fly everybody out there? It's actually cheaper to shoot a movie there, substantially, than it is just to cross the street and shoot in a set that was made over there. And the reason Hollywood was a place that they made films was you could predict the weather.
The weather's always pretty much clear. It's not a lot of rain and stuff like that. But for as long as I've been in Hollywood, I live in Texas now, but everything is shot anywhere else. It's just way too expensive. Here's a fact.
It is more expensive to shoot a film or a commercial or any TV show in Hollywood than anywhere else in this nation or overseas.
Now, does that make any sense to you? Of course not. And you have the best of the best in that town, but all of them have to travel. If you work in the film business, you're gone. If you have a good career, you're gone nine months, ten months of the year.
You don't see your kids. Yeah, he's asking for Republicans and Democrats to give tax incentives to keep bring Hollywood back and production back. And he's even got Democrats excited about it. It's kind of a shame that the mayor of Los Angeles and the governor of California didn't feel the same urgency. Thanks so much, Brian.
And by the way, you can watch Brian September 18th and 19th in Louisville at the Louisville Comedy Club and September 25th. In 26 in Huntsville, Alabama, at Levity Live.

Tax Relief Advocates: Real Solutions for Real People. Welcome to Fox News Live. I'm Mary Ann Rafferty. At least five people are dead after an Amazon cargo plane overshot the runway at Miami International Airport earlier today. Three other people were critically injured, while two others were hospitalized with less serious injuries.
Miami officials say it's too soon to determine why the plane was unable to stop at the end of the runway. Hundreds of flights were delayed at the busy airport. And the Trump administration is renewing its appeal to the Supreme Court to allow new restrictions on mail-in ballots. This comes just months before the key midterm elections. This is the third time the administration has asked the High Court to intervene.
The legal wrangling is happening even as states begin sending out mail-in ballots. Nearly one-third of U.S. voters vote by mail. I'm Marianne Rafferty.
Now back to One Nation. For your latest headlines, log on to Foxnews.com. We are raising a glass to 250 years of America and the places where some of that history was actually made. Long before cable, TV, social media, or even town halls, Americans gathered in bars and taverns to trade news, debate politics, and in some cases, plot a revolution.
So I went inside the historic watering holes that helped shape. America Watch. Welcome to Boston, one of America's oldest and most heralded cities. And we're here with two historical taverns right in between them. You got the Green Dragon Tavern and you got the Bell in Hand.
They date back to the beginning of America. First stop: the Bell in Hand. Bellinghand is America's oldest continuously operating tavern, founded in 1795. And what's so special, this isn't the original location, but this location would be familiar to Paul Revere and Samuel Adams, who walked these very same streets. You did something very synonymous with the bar industry.
Yes, Debbie and I collaborated on a 1776 cocktail menu. We could finally grape like a founding father. Let's go. Rum punch. This was the most common cocktail.
People love rum back then. They loved rum back then. It was the dominant spirit. Sangari is an early version of sangria, and instead of using table wine, it uses fortified wine. Thomas Jefferson recorded drinking this when he was in Philadelphia writing the Declaration of Independence.
Then we've got cherry bounce. This is derived from a recipe from Martha Washington. This has whiskey as its base and then some cherries and sugar. Brooke, so much took place in places like this. Yes, this is where the revolution was born.
Taverns were some public spaces where people debated politics, formed opinions about trade and war. They were central to what happened 250 years ago. All right, Noel, where are we right now? We're at the historic Green Dragon Tavern in Boston. It's where the Sons of Liberty met.
They planned Paul Revere's ride. A lot of history happened here. The Green Dragon was a place where the Loyalists were, where the British got together. Yes.
Where'd the Sons of Liberty fit in? They had a secret meeting place. They had a 13-year-old boy, Sam Ballard, who was a spy, and he would spy on the conversations of the Redcoats in the bar and then go down and tell the Sons of Liberty. Let's go around the room with some of these pictures. For example, the different pewter monks.
Yeah, so those were the kind of monks that they had drank out of in the revolutionary times. And on the bottom, it was made of glass.
So when they would hold their beer up, they could see their enemy coming in. We got another stop as we leave Boston. We're going to New York. Uh You can't look at historical bars in America without coming right here to Francis Tavern. Just have a link to the Revolutionary War.
It's in the middle of the war. And it's not just kind of tangentially with George Washington. It has everything to do with George Washington. And it's never been moved. They've just been improving it since 1719.
Um Okay. This has the feel of a revolutionary bar. I don't know if it's because it's the darkness or the types of cabinets. Is that the approach? Yes, we want to invoke the revolution throughout the space and the history of the building.
We're here in the lawn room where Washington said farewell to his officers at the end of the Revolutionary War, right here on the second floor of Pronounce. Sit the scene. British evacuate. Washington celebrates the evacuation along with everybody else, also here at the tavern. Then, a week and a half later, he comes back with his senior most officers to say a final farewell to them here in the long run.
Here we have a couple objects from Washington. We have a lock of his hair that was tested by the FBI and determined almost within a shadow of a doubt because Washington didn't have any children that that was his. We also have a piece of his coffin that was given as gifts to people when they broke it apart and reinterred Washington at Mount Berkeley. When you talk about historic bars that played a vital role in America's history, we really hit pay dirt here with the old 76 house. Alexander Hamilton lived upstairs and George Washington potted, planned, and had a few beers here.
Be prepared to be transported 200 plus years because nothing much has changed. During the Revolutionary War period, one of the most important edifices. And by the way, you know who lived upstairs? Tell everybody. Alexander Hamilton was on and off here for over three years.
People come here and they say, What's the original section? I'm like, It's all original. This is the oldest section. But before we enter that, this is the bar that Washington actually put his elbow on. That was the old horse tie in the 1600s.
And in 1755, they used that horse tie as the bar rail. And then this built sometime around 1686 is when they started keeping records.
So it dates back prior to that time. When Washington first walked in that door. This door right here. That door right there was already 100 years old. These are the original beams, the original horse hair plaster on the walls.
And on this side of the dining room, Sergei Carlton came here on May 3rd, 1783, and handed Washington the plan. Of the British evacuation, how the English were going to remove themselves from the colonies. And in this very room, we really got our first move towards true independence. More infrequently than not, that I'll be at the standing podium seating folks as they leave, and they'll shake my hand and thank me for continuing to perpetuate what is an edifice to our country. I eventually did sip that beer, by the way.
That was pretty cool. Thanks to everybody that made that possible and also keeping history alive. Don't move.

It's time now for News Duel, the hottest stories everyone's talking about, just that on television. And joining us right now is one of our favorites, comedian and superstar Tammy Pascatelli, star of the brand new comedy special. Tammy Pascatelli, Mrs. Saturday Night, available now on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, YouTube, and Google Play, and everyone is playing it. Congratulations on the success of this, Tammy.
Are you ready for the real show? And this is it. Here we go, the duel. Bring up the music. Let's start dueling it out.
So here we go. Can I start? Is that okay? You go first. All right, how about this?
Socialist Abdul El-Syed, you know him as the Democratic nominee over in Michigan.
Well, one thing is pretty clear about him. He's really not thrilled with American traditions. What do you say? For example, fireworks. Listen to this.
They're coming at me on fireworks. I'm like, alright, first, if your whole conception of America is that it's fireworks, I'm so sorry, you don't have a complete conception of America. But even then, right, like, what is it I said?
Well, Every time we do a fireworks show, it destroys the air quality and people have asthma exacerbations and heart attacks the next day. That's all I was saying. You know what I mean? I'm not saying we should have higher fireworks. I'm just saying, maybe, like, there are other ways to show your love.
Incumbent. I mean, listen, first of all. Heart attacks. He has no idea. He apparently has never been to an off-ramp in the South in the latter part of June, okay, getting the fireworks.
It is all right as red-blooded Americans for him to say what he wants to say. He can say that. But it's also our right to blow our thumbs off if we want to on the 4th of July. Like every good American. That's true.
We like to take risks. I think it's unbelievable that they have had so many videos of his that in order to get elected, he has got to delete and bury CNN to their credit. Report LCA deleted or hid roughly 100 YouTube videos because he's embarrassed by it. But sadly, he doesn't retract it. All right, we move on.
How about this? I have one for you. It's a real life nightmare, like an Eddie Munster gone wrong. Take a look at it. I reach up to my mouth, again still thinking this is a dream, and then I touch something that is kind of slimy and a little hairy and cool, and I immediately somehow knew it was a bat.
This fact. was legitimately trying to burrow between my lips into my mouth. But try to get past my teeth.
Okay, so this woman is in Virginia. She's a doctor. She's a gastroentinologist, which is a mouthful even without a bat, okay? She finds the bat in her mouth. It's very hard to believe.
She said she didn't know what to do. I would just say move, get out, bro. Jordan, you'll just get it. But if the bat was eventually gone, she said she was dreaming that she had a mouse in her mouth. It's a Disney Oedipus complex.
I don't want to talk about it. But here's, I once saw someone with a bat in their mouth, but it was when I was a child at a Cleveland Indians game and they gave out Minnie Louisville sluggers a nickel beer night. I saw a bat in the mouth, in the head, everywhere. It's very good parenting to be freaked a child to nickel beer night. By the way, I think it's so funny.
When told about this, E.R. Docs warned that anyone who wakes up with a bat in the room should take it seriously. Thanks, Doc. Appreciate it. Hey, let's move on.
There's a new study, and it's fascinating. It reveals, hold on to something tight, that being single is more fun than being married. Yeah, it's a study published by the Personality and Social Psychology. And in August, they say extensive research reveals that singlehood and self-expansion, self-expansion potential, therefore leads to more happiness. Yeah, well, you can expand yourself in the bed, you can expand your pants, you can even leave the bathroom door open.
That is happiness. That's the whole reason being single is why blockbusters are closed. Because when you were partnered up, you fought in the blockbuster walking around trying to find your thing. Of course, single is more fun. They say that Trinu, and you just saw Trinu, it helps you try new experiences, that's fun, gain new perspective, develop new skills, and build relationships and broaden your sense of identity.
So Tammy says before this, you notice they're never alone when they do that. I know. They're with somebody, so they can't even say they're truly single. All right, now let's talk junk food.
Okay, so you know how everybody's in our business all the time.
Well, wait till you hear this story. There are some kindergartens moms had a chat and it created something they call Oreo Gate. As a matter of fact, they're telling us what to do with our kids. Here's another thing that goes viral. Here's the topics I'm going to show you.
This is what they said. Michelle said, Ava came home really upset yesterday because one of the girls had Oreos in her lunch. Laura says, Oh, laughing emoji. Why was she upset? Michelle says, Because we don't allow that kind of thing at our home.
So obviously, she wanted them. And when she saw someone else eating them, and Michelle said, No, I just wondered if we could agree not to send Oreos, chocolate, candy, et cetera, so the kids aren't comparing lunches. They're not comparing lunches, Brian. They're comparing moms. And Michelle, where's my camera?
Michelle, you stink. You stink. The problem isn't the Oreos, it's you. We've had to give up our peanuts, our gluten, our sugar. I'm holding on to the Oreos.
You're holding on to the Oreos. This is a great American. It's not bad parenting. Good parenting is giving kids something to look forward to in their lunchbox. That's right.
And listen, I'll give you an old Sicilian grandmother thing. You got to come close. I'll tell you what it is. Here's a big thing that'll help you with your kids: mind your business.
Okay, mind your business, Michelle. All right, Tammy, this is some of the things we get on your special. Miss this Saturday night. Congratulations on doing it. You can get it everywhere.
Like it was everyone on iTunes. Yes, it was. Thank God. This is you. Thank you.
In fact, do you have a clip that you, because if I paid the licensing fee, by the way, this is where to see Tammy everywhere. Get a telescope. There's a lot of yours. I can't even see it. Here's a clip from your special.
Watch. Don't engage crazy.
Someone cuts you off in traffic and they have a bunch of stuffed animals in their back window. Let it go. And all in Git, like you just... Your body doesn't even want to be your friend anymore. Your body quits on you.
Like my body used to be a masterpiece and now it's like a Picasso painting. It's like a one-eyed big, one-long. I got out of the shower the other day. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I was like.
When did I get pockets? That is great. Congratulations. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
Thank you for having me. And of course, you can get it anywhere, just about anywhere. And you get, oh, thank you, Brian. That's good patterns. Thanks, Tammy.
Appreciate it. All right.
