Kennedy, if this is too much, this might be the one time in your career where you go, it's too much, Brian. It's not enough. I need more, Brian. Oh, you want more? I want more, Cowbell. Cowbell.
One more chaos. Did you watch SNL this weekend? No. Okay. I was doing my show in Pottstown, Pennsylvania.
It sold Jules. Oh, how'd it go? Amazing. Was it?
It was so much fun. Pottstown, Pennsylvania. That's right. Pottstown. Town. Pottstown.
Pottstown. And was it rural? Was it middle-class? Was it middle-class? I know you grew up a middle-class child. I grew up a middle-class child.
My mother saved as much money as she could and bought a house. No, it was normal. It was like a normal, sweet suburb. They had a very clean, delicious McDonald's. They did. It was some of the best McDonald's I've had all year. Did you see any future presidents at the Fries? I think I did. You did? Yeah.
It was great. There were a lot of pro-Trump people and a lot of people like, I never voted for Trump, but I'm terrified of her. You're terrified of her. That's what people are telling me. Well, I mean, but you don't come out right or left.
You come out, you're calling them, you're a libertarian by trade. Yeah, I make fun of everyone. Right.
Yeah. Not me. No, I didn't make fun of you. I made fun of Greg Gutfeld a little tiny bit.
A little bit, but you want to go back on the show, but actually to make fun of him will not hurt you from going back on the show. I mean, look at you. It actually made your career. Right. Thank you. I had no career.
None at all. This whole stuff I was doing before. You were mopping floors and grabbing coffee for Gretchen Carlson before Greg Gutfeld discovered you.
Who booked her? Alison, was it you or Eric? What is wrong with you? I don't know. It's too much going on, Brian. Yeah, but I thought you told me you could handle it. All right. This is how we cope with things.
All right. We could, if I had dice, I would throw and go, you pick it out and then we decide where to go. But here's where we're going to go. The vice presidential debate today. Both men can't really debate each other if they're going to be effective.
They got to go and represent the top of the ticket. So if Waltz is defending my years as governor and J.D. Vance is defending a podcast, they're both losing. I think that is J.D. Vance got to go back for the policies of four years and then what he'll do may be more at times when I listen to him, he's more effective than President Trump talking about what President Trump did. I think J.D. Vance, excuse me, hold on.
J.D. Vance likes playing defense. He likes fighting. And that makes him better. He's got a better foundation as a debater. I think Tim Walz can be tripped up on some of the dumb things that he's said and done.
And he does have a lot of erratic energy. And I think that J.D. Vance just needs to tap into that.
But the more Walz tries to go after him, it actually will empower J.D. Vance. I actually have more faith in J.D.
Vance. And not because I like him or I have favoritism. I just think he's he's better in this better in this environment. And the reason he's a senator is because he can hold his own. He's an improvisational debater and he just has a better command of the issues. And he has one of those gifts where the words appear to him when it's most necessary. And John Wooden always said, greatness is doing your best when your best is required. And when it is required to have facts and a comeback, J.D. Vance seems to have that.
John John Wooden used to start every season telling everyone how to tie their shoes because sometimes you've got to go back to the basics, Brian. So just for the record, you said erratic, not erotic. I think I said erratic, but erotic would be it would be OK in there. All right. Yeah. Eric, Tim Walz is very I mean, we've redefined masculinity. Tim Walz is now just that's why I think you're on one of the shirtless firefighters calendars. That's how sexy he is to who we've redefined masculinity, Brian. So there's a new definition.
Wait a second. Jen Psaki, sitting down with the second gentleman, I thought he defined masculinity as not having any masculine. Well, then Tim Walz would fall right into that category.
Would we have to redefine masculinity twice? We have to keep a coach that had a was formed a gay club in high school. That was right. And then he became a congressman and a governor.
But that's not important. No, he's a coach and a teacher. He's a coach. He's coach Walz. I was there at the DNC when they were passing out the big coach Walz signs and everyone's waving.
I grew up in Nebraska. And I did not know his parents owned a meat locker. Oh, that sounds like that sounds like a gay club that I'd like to go to. I mean, that might be the name. But we might be we might be giving people a lunchtime business. Hey, Eric, did you know that thing you had showing the moderators going after J.D.
Vance? I don't know what number that is. You pulled it, I think, from Fox and Friends. Yeah, let's listen. We know that the media seems totally uninterested in fact checking Joe Biden from any of the number of false claims that he made.
You know, I lost track, sir. I've been told the media is on every single side of this and everything's our fault. President Trump said Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi were lovely individuals when he's speaking in Montana last night. You agree with that characterization?
I think that President Trump gets along with world leaders and there's nothing wrong with him complimenting them as people if it makes him more effective diplomatically. And there's an irony here. That's different than walking in and laying down the law to Xi Jinping.
There's an oh, no, it's not actually. The problem here is not that Donald Trump and I have called out what's happened to Springfield. I have talked about the problems and cited Governor DeWine saying what were legitimate problems. I'm not asking about that. We have documented that.
I'm asking about your words, sir, which you are responsible for. But Margaret, you only documented it after Donald Trump called attention to it. Margaret, he's good.
He did three of those shows in one day. Yeah. And he's maybe pretty unflappable and he just keeps coming back and they lay so many traps and play so much. Gotcha. Right.
Because and by the way, it's hard defending yourself, let alone defending President Trump, who can be undisciplined on the stump. I don't know if you heard. Yeah.
So they all of a sudden and they'll throw something at you and you're like, I didn't even think of yourself. I didn't even. At least he's giving us spontaneous asides. He is. Kamala Harris will give us absolutely nothing spontaneous because she knows she cannot exist in these very moments. I'm going to have to show you how wrong you are.
And I'm embarrassed to do it. Brian, I thought this was going to be a friendly exchange. So, you know, Kamala Harris turned down six. I think she's going to turn out 60 minutes. She has an offer from 60 Minutes. But she did say yes from everybody.
Right. She did say yes. Eric, I just saw that Margaret Brennan is on my form. My fault.
I just saw that if I could do it again. So here's Kamala Harris on a podcast I never heard of called All the Smoke. I assume has something to do with pot. But who knows? I don't pretend to know.
But I know Kamala Harris likes to cook and make up stories that never line up. Cut to from the time that the president called me and told me he wasn't running. I mean, it just like everything was in speedy, speedy motion and I was not sleeping so well. And that one morning, I just I mean, I had, I don't know, a few hours sleep and I, you know, I'd like to sleep. I just got up. I was like, as I just went out and got a pork roast and started to marinate. Get to your happy place. And my family happened to be in town. So they were very happy about the whole situation. But I just got up and started to sleep.
I just got up and started cooking. Great story. What's funny about that? Absolutely nothing.
She's she's inconsequential and boring. Keep in mind, you know, the other story. So marinating the pork roast. There's another one better and probably less accurate that she got the call and she was making pancakes. So are you making a roast? You're making pancakes. Yeah.
Which is it? Right. You got to make a decision.
You should order cook. If you sleep too much. Right. So but what she's saying and it's very funny. She's saying that she had really bad insomnia and which, you know, every other world leader, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, George W. Bush, I sleep four to five hours a night. I don't need more sleep.
And it's a sign of strength. But for a future president is like, I really like to sleep. I love to sleep. I could never be president. Don't ever entrust the country with me.
Because when I don't sleep, I make bad decisions and I'm cranky like everyone in my life knows like, oh, let her sleep no matter what happens. Right. There's a fire on fire.
There's a fire. You know, we still have a couple more. I think it's a bomb, honey. Leave her alone. Yeah, exactly.
So I don't I don't like that. And then she's also saying I had such bad insomnia. I was so sleep deprived and incapable of making a rational decision. That is the moment I picked Tim Walz. Yeah.
So that's her out. So how strong am I if this is your standard for strength four hours a night? I could run the country. Yeah, you absolutely could, Brian. So I would trust you more than any of these four candidates right now. Peter Katria, is that how you say his last name?
Sure. So he's a he's got the number one book. He's still about health and fitness. And he and I had a sleep guy that you're obsessed. So I had him on and I interviewed him and only four minutes.
I felt like I left a lot at the table and he's like, really? Thanks for having me on. Do you need help with anything? And I go, no. All right. He goes, we do the morning show.
Yeah. How much you sleep? I go four hours. It is like he goes, you're living a life as if you had two beers every day.
So think of much. But number one, I shouldn't be driving now. Number two is I mean, I've seen you drive.
You shouldn't be driving with 12 hours of sleep. Let me just say this, Katie. Seven weeks sobriety. I am fine. But I will say that I was talking to my wife the other day, which is a good sign. That's a great sign. Right.
So and we were driving. Did she talk back to you? That's an even better sign.
Right. She did talk back. But she gets taxed and sometimes she gets distracted. And she is so unhappy with my driving that I am convinced when I'm pulled over with her in the car, she will turn on me and thank the officer and tell you everything I was doing wrong.
I believe that she would go, it's about time. Tell him. Tell him. You tell him what the speed limit is.
Officer, while you're at it, give him the ticket for not sleeping enough. Right. We'll see. So what was I saying? That you're going to be president. So the New York Times writes a story today and endorses her. It says because she's patriotic, the patriotic thing to do. She's not Trump. Then she goes on to say, and I'll paraphrase, that it's not OK and not a good standard for you not to do any interviews.
It's not good to shortchange the American people and not expand on what you would do as president. And I thought that is the ultimate non endorsement endorsement ever. They can never endorse Trump.
They would never endorse a Republican. But they're trying to say is you suck. And what you're doing is not OK. The only thing you have going for you is you're not literally Hitler. That is the only thing you have going for you.
You're not him. Which isn't enough. And everyone knows it's not enough. Might have been enough for some voters in 2016. It was enough for voters in 2020. It's not enough now. So here's what Reince Priebus says the state of the race is right now compared to the previous.
Cut 12. So in 2020, we were told that Donald Trump was going to get killed by even even some of the polls that you've cited. But he didn't get killed.
In fact, it was it was razor thin. So when you look at the things that you just cited, Hispanics, Donald Trump is at 40 percent with Hispanics. He's at plus 17 percent with non white, non college educated voters. He's ahead with blue collar workers. He's plus 31 percent from people that graduated from trade organizations. This is much stronger than he was in 2020 and 2016. Your thoughts?
I want to I want to point out something very interesting there. There has been an uptick in younger conservative voters, like younger Gen Zers now identify as conservative and, you know, more so than younger millennials. Twenty six percent because a lot of them are going to trade schools. So it's like there has been a paradigm shift and how people educate themselves and how they think about the world and how the government is going to treat them. It's another reason why I'm optimistic.
It was a doom and gloom. I am not I don't feel that way. Now, if you bring up D.E.I., nobody wants D.E.I. when you bring up affirmative action, get rid of it. You're a racist.
We got rid of it. And the world is moving on. When you talk about that pronouns and that political correctness, there's a huge pushback on that. And now when you talk about going to trade schools, we always thought there's a there was a stigma to that as if you can't handle college. Now, over the last 10 years, that is dug into the parents and the kids.
I want to learn a skill. This is good news. If you've got more than two kids and the older one, you know, you did what you were supposed to do, sent him to a private school, took out loans. And now your credit cards are maxed out because of inflation. You could barely make those loan payments. So with the younger kids, you're like, why don't you go learn how to weld or learn how to build houses?
You'll finish school in two years, have no debt, and you're going to start at 70 grand a year. The other thing is, is that a turn on to go into a bar, put you at the 20 year old Kennedy, you go into a bar, you see a guy still with his hard hat on and a jean shirt. I mean, I might have been going to the meat locker where they dress up in little construction costumes. I was what is known as a fruit fly, Brian. So I'm just saying that like, could that, could we get to the point where even single women and single men look at women and go, well, she's a welder.
I wonder if she's single. Have you ever heard that? I mean, in Flashdance, Jennifer Beals character was a welder and a super sexy dancer. And that was a documentary.
It was based on something that could have been a documentary, which means a lot to the people who were the subject of that film or didn't really happen. We don't have to go that far. We don't have to point fingers back in a moment. This episode is brought to you by LifeLock. October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. So LifeLock wants to remind you to update your passwords.

You can really tell that Trump is worried about this election because now he's just lashing out hoping anything will work. Look, I could have been sunbathing on the beach. You have never seen a body so beautiful. Much better than sleepy Joe. What are you talking about? You're saying you got a hotter body than Joe Biden?
I'm starting to worry that bullet got a little more than just the ear. An attorney for did he said that his client wants to testify at his trial saying I don't know I don't know that I can keep him off the stand because you can't hold a guy back wearing all that baby oil. So there you go. That was just a hit from the first episode of SNL for a brand new season. Kennedy's still here. Kennedy got 5.3 million viewers. The Nielsen ratings did. Same day ratings. The most viewers for any SNL season premiere since 2020.
Wow. It is their 50th anniversary which is it's that's a phenomenal feat. It is the longest running show in TV history and I thought the the mood dang skit was very funny where Bowen Yang dressed up as the hippo and made fun of Chapel Rowan who is this you know she's a pop star. She's like a synth pop bio drag pop star. She's like I have to cancel shows this weekend because my mental health and so bonyang made fun of that as the tiny hippo which was very funny. Is that the one people are critical of that was insensitive?
No that's so insensitive it's like no he loves her he's making fun of the fact that a pygmy hippo baby has like captivated the world's attention and that Chapel Rowan is so precious she can't perform a couple of shows and she told her fans like stop talking to me stop trying to hug me that's so weird and it's like lady you want her to be famous like you've been doing everything in your power to be famous well here you go it's like yeah it's hard and it's weird but talk to your therapist after you come off stage like like everybody else who's had a hard time. And that's why you have insurance. Yeah I bet you have great insurance.
Right and the thing is once you reach a deductible they'll pay 80% of that. Absolutely right. So by the way the references I mean not one thing did I know what you were talking about.
That's okay. Yeah I just because you you stay culturally on top of things. No I got teens in the house. Well you listen and you listen to them? I listen to them more than they listen to me let's just put it that way. So you know what they're listening to. I was banging on my daughter's door this morning at 7 30 terrified that she had overslept. Yes. And I'm banging and then I start to worry she's got air pods in so she can't hear me I don't know that she's awake I'm getting terrified she opens the door and she sees like my hand up pounding on the door she's like oh my god what are you doing.
So that's my life. That's true yeah well you listen they just don't listen to you. They don't listen. Uh they have our air pods we should never have invented them. Did Elon Musk do that? No he didn't. I blame him for everything. Right he also puts chips in our brains.
