And with me right now is Trey Gowdy, who, for the first time, I never saw you dress casual.
I mean, this is the first time without a tie. Uh, yesterday, I saw you walk in on Sunday. Do you look like that a lot?
Like, with just, like, shorts and t-shirts? I look like I just came from what we call bond hearing, where if you have pending charges, you have to show up for bond hearing. That's how I dress when I'm not on air. I almost didn't recognize you, right? I mean, I met Mrs. Gowdy, by the way.
Yes, she's beautiful and kinder than she, even than she is beautiful, but I, uh, well, you know what it's like. You don't necessarily want to be stopped at the airport, so you try to dress like somebody on America's Most Wanted, and that's the way I dress. That was good. And who was the singer from Australia, the country music star, who they thought was homeless? Keith Urban. Keith Urban was walking through the supermarket, like, outside the supermarket, and he dressed so badly that someone thought he was homeless, gave him money. Can I tell you a story about Keith Urban? Yeah. You have one?
Yes. Before he was famous, he played in Greenville, South Carolina, and my wife is a huge fan of his, so I got the owner of that particular bar to let me come and meet him. He had a SpongeBob SquarePants hat on, and you met my wife, so he took plenty of time to talk to her. She's very, very cute, and he has an eye for that. Could not have been nicer. Yeah, he seems like a nice guy.
He is. So that is proof that people that are famous, like Brian Kilmeade, Keith Urban, can also be very, very nice people. But I find myself staring in the mirror a lot, and just really admiring who I am and what I've become. You two?
I had all the mirrors taken out of my house when I turned 40. Everyone handled it. So I'm thrilled to be here, and Trey, you've been through so many. It's easy to be cynical and go, oh, same old thing. This is not the same old thing. And I was watching you on air yesterday. Even though I was on the air, I wanted to put the sound up because we got that news about the documents case.
Eileen Cannon threw it out in a 93-page decision. That got buried the fourth biggest story. But how big is this?
It's huge. I was thinking about it last night, though. The out is to go replace Jack Smith with someone who has been Senate confirmed. So it certainly buys a lot of time for the president.
It doesn't get him out of the woods unless because they could go. Remember, John Durham was Senate confirmed. Robert Mueller, you could argue, had been Senate confirmed twice, FBI director and US attorney.
But Jack Smith, you may as well go to Walmart or the grocery store and pick someone. He's a private citizen. If DOJ wants to salvage this prosecution, they could go find someone that does meet her appointments clause analysis.
But it buys him time. And look, you're better predictions than I am. But now it comes to the law. If Donald Trump wins, I would bet one of the first things he does is drop the prosecution against Donald Trump.
That's that's my prediction for the day. So they wouldn't wait for Donald Trump to name a attorney general to do it. You think that Biden does it in the interim between November and January? If Biden is at all remotely serious about unifying this country in the aftermath of that assassination attempt, I always thought he was going to pardon his son because parents are not going to watch their children go to jail if they can stop it. I think he's what he should do is say, I'm going to pardon Donald Trump for these two federal cases.
I can't do anything about Georgia or New York and I'm going to pardon my son and I will bear with the political consequences of both decisions. I don't think any, especially I know you had what you think of the gun case. And I can't say again, I'm not a lawyer, but you thought that was ridiculous. He should have been prosecuted. I did those cases for six years.
I can't. I never did an addict case. I would have put him in drug court, but I think it was a little bit of a head fake. I think it's their way of saying, look, we did prosecute him.
So we're not going to prosecute him on the more substantive stuff, which would be not registering as a foreign agent. That's more serious. So I was struck by this.
You know about tradition and customs. And I, when the vice president, Kamala Harris, called up and congratulated J.D. Vance, yes, I thought it was great.
Got voicemail, but so what he said, you know, welcome, put out welcome. And I look forward to the debate. But President Biden, when he hears this and says, here's the deal with J.D. Vance, he talks a big game about working class people. But now he and Trump want to raise money on middle, raise taxes on middle class families while pushing more tax cuts for the rich. I don't need to go on to not even a breath, not even to say, listen, game on.
Now we've got the ticket complete. Look forward to your vice president. Anything at a time in which he pledged to have more decorum. I knew it. I was in Congress when Gabby Giffords was shot and we swore things would be different. I was in Congress with Stevie Scalise when he was shot.
Paul Pelosi hit in the head with a hammer in his home. And we always say we're going to do better. We're going to do differently. And it lasts a shorter and shorter period of time.
This didn't even last like 24 hours before it's right back on. So I think that the president could set the tone. I'm more optimistic than you. The president could set a different tone. He says he's going to tore up his old speech, said it was going to be a humdinger. He says, I want to talk about unifying the country. And he not only could he do that, if he's successful, he could get past the 270 to 269 result.
He might be able to get the Virginias, the Minnesotas, the New Hampshire's and put them in play. You put your finger on exactly the right point, which is, do you want to narrowly win the right to govern, which is the Electoral College, or do you want a mandate? We use the word mandate all the time. But winning 272 electoral votes, narrowly eking out, losing the popular vote is the right to govern.
But it's not a mandate. Reagan had a mandate. Trump has a chance to almost run the table the way Reagan did from the Fox News Podcast Network. I'm Janice Dean, Fox News senior meteorologist. Be sure to subscribe to the Janice Dean podcast at Fox News podcast.com or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
And don't forget to spread the sunshine. So there's this one speaker last night. I don't have the biggest musical background norm into reality television, but Amber Rose spoke.
Obviously she's extremely attractive. And this is what she said. And I think it's a, I think it's a bigger story.
Cut 21. And the truth is that the media has lied to us about Donald Trump. I know this because for a long time I believed those lies.
So I'm here to set the record straight. The first person I knew who supported Donald Trump was my father. I was shocked.
My entire family is racially diverse. And I believe the left wing propaganda that Donald Trump was a racist. My father said, no, he's not Amber.
What are you talking about? And when I insisted, he said, prove it. So to prove my father wrong, I did my research and looked into all things Donald Trump. I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don't care if you're black, white, gay, or straight.
It's all love. And what did the president do? He took the traditional marriage. A lot of Republicans are unhappy about it out. He also said, when it comes to abortion, let's stop talking about, um, uh, right to life.
Let's just let the States make a decision, be consistent. And isn't that similar to what JD Vance said? I believe what people were telling me. That's why I said those things about him. And then when I got to know him, I told him I was wrong. Don't you hear that a lot? I hear that a lot.
I do. Here's what JD Vance is going to have to do. He's going to have to give up. People change their minds all the time, all the time. The more facts I get, the better conclusion I reach. But you do have to explain to the jury when that epiphany took place. The JD Vance is a very, very smart person.
They're very, very few dumb Yale law graduates. He's going to have to give us some plausible explanation for when that's what you're going to ask him when you get them on. He's not coming on my show.
He's coming on your show. Well, you do both. I would, you know, I, I cross examined people for 20 years.
So my show is a little bit different. I just, I let them talk. I ask the question, let them talk and listen. And then you have your followups are great.
I will thank you. I think people want to okay. Hitler, that that's a hard comparison. Heroin.
Heroin is a hard word. So I need to know what led you to believe that when your epiphany was and how certain you are that you were wrong. He's a smart guy. If I've thought of the question, you can rest assured JD Vance has thought of the question and he'll have an answer, but you, you left inadvertently one thing out. Never. When I was in Congress, did a Republican stop me and say, we need criminal justice reform. Never wants, but Donald Trump did it. Democrats talked about it, but they didn't do it. Donald Trump actually did it.
So the notion that this man is somehow racist, when he like, he used a lot of political capital to get criminal justice reform. I was in the house. It wasn't like house Republicans were dying. High fiving about that. Well, I mean, in retrospect, it ended up being good. Yeah. It ended up being right. It ended up being the right thing. So I, I, you know, look, the media and you and our both members of it, but the polling indicates, Brian, that is not Biden or Trump that the American people view as the threat to democracy is folks in our line of work.
Can I, can I say this? And I'm not playing the perfect game and Fox is not perfect. And if I tell you I'm perfect, then I'm not being honest with you.
We're not. But the media was the one that said Joe Biden was absolutely fine. They never brought up that he hid in his basement the whole time. They never said that he couldn't get a crowd. They never said that he was faltering on the States. They never said it was a problem. He doesn't do interviews. They never said it was a problem. He didn't even do the super bowl interview. They never said a problem.
He doesn't have press conferences. It wasn't until that debate and it looked like they were going to lose that they turned on him and they say, wait a second. You said there was no problem.
Some of them actually believed there was no problem that we were making up the cheap fakes stuff. So that blew up in their face. Now they're trying to push him out.
He is actually pushing back in all your years of experience. He's actually standing still and they're, they're using all their guns. They have an accident.
I watched them last night. They're still trying to tell that story while, while they were Republican conventions going on. So they were not told to then they have to finding out about Donald Trump is like, okay, the last four years he's terrible. Russians put him there. The Ukraine situation, January 6th.
Okay. But what were you doing? Like what was the immigration situation? Like what was the inflation situation? Like what was the middle East situation? Like what was the European situation?
Like I'm not even asking your group, everything I said, what was the interest rates like? So they're saying maybe in both those cases, we should have been maybe not listening. We should have been doing our own research like Amber Rose. If it had not been for COVID then Donald Trump would be in the midst of his second term. COVID I think is what adversely impacted him, which is completely out of his control.
But you raise a point and here's the point. The, the, the media has become an extension. 90% of the media, what, what, the numbers are staggering. What, 90% of the members of the media vote Democrat.
So they're an extension of the Democrat party. They had no trouble with Joe Biden's cognitive issues. When it looked like he might win. It was only when the, when the polling changed that they decided, you know what, we don't need a guy who says we beat Medicare. We don't need a guy who confuses Joan Joan of art with Joan rivers. I mean, he confused Kamala Harris with Donald Trump who the history of mankind has done that.
I think that that is so true. And now they're in a situation where they have to maybe cover a guy for the next four years who most of America doesn't dislike. They were convinced the man who lost the popular vote on a freak situation was put there by the Russians. Therefore, if I run this programming, I'm going to get 50. I have potentially to get at least 50% of the country. Now, if you run this programming without being at least candid and saying, I disagree with his border policy, but I like his foreign policy.
Unless you play it straight, you have no shot of relevance, forget ratings, relevance. Um, I know as much as anyone about Russia because Devin Nunes punished me by forcing me to do all of the depositions. And I ask every single witness, every Democrat witness, give me any evidence you have circumstantial direct hearsay. I don't care.
There are no, there are no rules here. And you'd even know Trump. I've never met him.
Never met him at the time. Um, and I never got one piece of evidence of collusion coordination, collaboration with the Russians with respect to 2016. It was Adam Schiff's way of doing exactly what he's managed to pull off, which has raised his political profile.
He's likely to be a Senator from California. So this kind of relativism I think is what is destroying politics. One reason you're popular and one reason I love you and one reason I'm sitting in this chair is you are willing to criticize your own side if you think they're wrong. But for most folks, winning is the only thing that matters. And they convinced themselves of that. And therefore they become relativist and that's what's going to destroy our republic. Right.
And it's just so that less interesting if it, if it's the same story every single day. Trey, I love your show on Sundays. You know that. And I know I, and Alison, you might approve of this. How many sound bites am I taking from Trey show for the Monday radio show? Well, you're kind of, cause I get the verbatim when I get up at two 30 in the morning. Can I ask you if you have a translator because my accent is kind of weird. Do you do subtitles so people can understand what I'm saying? No, what I did is I work with Ainsley Earhart. So she tells me I have adapted to your regionalism.
Uh, and I think I find it endearing. My dad was her doctor when she was a child. All right. Can I see her, can I see her records?
I think it would violate the book, but, but my dad was her baby doctor. Well, somebody's too responsible for making the perfect person. Yeah. Uh, Trey, great to see you too.
And watch him on Sundays. Okay.
