It's this cutesy hyperbolic nonsense coming out of the media and the Democrats who refuse to accept the fact that almost a majority or a majority of Americans have accepted Donald Trump and Trumpism. I think it's time to give this guy a month of peace and let the process play out. You're asking us to be on our council. I don't know about giving him any peace, child. And that child's name is Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and Donna Brazile weighing in and Reince Priebus on ABC just saying, can you give him a second?
But I guess when you're president-elect, you don't really get a second when you have all these nominations out. Reluctantly, Kennedy is here. You did not want to be here.
Is that correct? Didn't want to be here, Brian. I was asleep. Right. Your chief of staff woke you? Chief of staff woke me with an air horn. It's the only way to get me out of bed at this hour. Right. Crack of 11.
A lot of people are just using their watch. No, you just use the air horn? Oh, no, no, no. That's why I have a team. Right. Do you sometimes wake up thinking you're being subbed out? That's why I like the air horn because I feel like I'm- You're subbed in. Back in the fight. Right, back in the fight.
Exactly right. Does someone have to- I sleep in a New York Rangers uniform. Well, can I ask you something personal? When you get out of bed, does someone go into bed? Because is it a rotation? Is that what the air horn is for?
Brian, you know I don't like to get into my personal details, but obviously, yes. But it is a sub. Yeah, I mean a pyramid has to be held up by its foundation. Right.
The cheerleader. Yeah, exactly right. So, Kennedy, what do you think about that?
Does the president get a month apiece? No, no. He, as Bill Hemmer was pointing out this morning while you were on the radio, he hasn't been seen really publicly in three weeks, which means that he's getting some phenomenal plastic surgery. And I'm very much looking forward to that. Well, I will- or that, or Susan Weil said to him, why don't you say, look, we have nominations- I know, that's the unsexy version and probably the more realistic one. You're more than the plastic surgery.
Wouldn't that be amazing? But according to Alec Bolton, you just make stuff up for ratings. You don't really know anything. Either do I, because I'm an American. Don't know anything- I mean, I thought that's- I'm sorry, Brian, I thought this was a free speech zone. I thought that was the point. Right. So, there's a story today how the president, the Wall Street Journal actually had it, how the president can get rid of woke.
Do you think he can? I don't know. I think people are pretty sick of it. I think there's already a cultural drift away from it because there's not a lot of upside to it. There's only division and division is- it's painful and dishonest. And people- I think a big part of the election was- and this is what I would warn the president and people who are so excited about it. You have a lot of people who voted for Trump, but they're not necessarily Republicans.
And I bet a lot of them don't consider themselves to be Republicans. So much good can happen from this moment and I want the stewards in power to humbly move forward honoring people who are trusting them. Maybe for a brief period of time.
It is kind of weird. 55 days until President Trump takes over and his borders are meeting with the governor of Texas at the border while serving the Texas Border Patrol lunch for Thanksgiving. And it is interesting that he says, I'm going to put tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China because they're allowing their border to be a sieve and it's hurting our country. Actually, Canada is slowing down their immigration.
They've been really- Last week, but they were like 20,000- Justin Trudeau is like, yeah, maybe we can't afford this. And he is- there's just a whole push in a little bit more of a sane direction in the Western world. How about this? If you want to get rid of woke and you say that's what you want. First off, it means believing America is riddled with inequities. We have to stop believing that America is riddled with inequities where not only it's people, but the system itself is racist in need of a systemic overhaul.
Can you promise to get rid of that belief? No, and I actually I think you have to have a good sense of history in order to move forward. The problem is the people who are in charge of that mentality, they don't want to move forward. The Jasmine Crockett's of the world, they actually want slavery and oppression of people.
They assume their ancestors were slave owners, but that doesn't do anything to make a better society either. It only again divides us further and it's an irrational solution. I think if you read your books, you understand that we have some very painful chapters in our history.
But that doesn't mean we have to be in a constant racial civil war for the rest of our lives and for all future generations. But already I think President Trump is starting it. He names his cabinet, it's almost done.
You don't hear the first Hawaiian, the first woman, another woman. I mean there's the first gay treasury secretary, which I feel bad. I thought that Janet Yellen was an L word. She must be angry. I think she's mad. Right. Is she? I figured she was a big Chapel Rowan fan. Well put it this way, it's going to be Scott unless she's going to speak up and out herself. Which would be amazing because then she'd steal his thunder. But I'm saying we don't hear that.
And just like that. Because Scott Besset, he's a Wall Streeter, self-made hedge fund guy who was with George Soros for a while, formed his own capital, his capital firm. I don't care that he was with George Soros.
I actually think that might be better for him. No, but I'm saying that- But a lot of people have an issue with that. But why are you starting with, like the old administration goes, we finally have a nuclear, a nuclear, is that, do you want to take that? It's my seamless order. It's my gluten-free bacon, egg and cheese and bagel.
Do you need to take it? No? Okay. Wait, hang on a second. Keep talking, Brian. Well, he said this, we finally have a guy with the, go ahead.
Hello? Yeah. Oh, fantastic.
I'll be down in a couple minutes. Thanks so much. Right. Okay. I miss you. No, you've never met him.
Not yet, no. Right. I might miss him in a few hours. Right.
But let's see how, let's see if you hit it off. That's all right. But I was just saying he was handed a nuclear maintenance and he had a mustache and a dress and he was stealing lunch. I know. Remember? So, I mean, yeah, it's one of the best stories.
It's so insane. Right. It's, I mean, I think that that is one of the big things this election was about. Can we get back to a meritocracy?
Thank you. Right. Can we get back to people like, hey, I work really hard and I'm good at my job. That's my point. No, then we should hire you because you're the best candidate. Now, do you think I booked you because you're a Romanian? Probably, yes. Right.
Because you know that if you didn't book me, I'd break your kneecaps and steal your horse. Absolutely. And not with Nadia Comaneci. So, so, so, so, could you imagine, we used to be anyway. You'd be surprised. Right. Hmm. So, so, but the thing is, I don't say Kennedy's coming in because I need a Romanian and I think we're past that point. But we just watched a cabinet being named and no one talked about woman. Man, we look up and we say, there are women.
There are black people. But it's not the most important thing. No, and it shouldn't be like, those immutable characteristics shouldn't be the sole reason you are selected for anything.
It should be because you are a badass and you're really good at your job and you are going to make this environment better. Right. Chris, I don't mean saying right like dismissive. I mean, right, you're right.
It was a little. Chris Rufo thinks he has an idea how to get rid of wokeness in schools, colleges. Cut 27. President Trump has the opportunity to do what we've done in Florida on a national scale. And I'll give you two numbers to set the context. In 2019, in the first Trump administration, there was about 19 million dollars of federal contracts with DEI language attached to them. Last year, the Biden-Harris administration, that number was one billion dollars.
This is a multibillion dollar industry. It has now thousands of federal employees practicing racism, demanding segregation and thinking that the United States is a fundamentally racist country. The president could put a stop to that on day one. He can abolish DEI and restore colorblind equality once and for all. So that's a method he's going to go visit with the president this week or I guess it's a little later. He's visited already. But he says that he won in 2020. He's going to go back again.
He goes, this is what he said. I want to hear your ideas for colleges. I think it would be pretty cool. We have to do something to right the ship of colleges and universities because they are going, I was thinking about this the other day, anytime you have a rational and outspoken college professor, they're canceled and they are either fired or forced to resign by the sheer vitriol that's thrown at them on campus by, you know, it's like bubble dwelling idiot fellow professors or entitled brats who don't know how to think for themselves. I hear you. And they're shouted off campus.
So what you're left with is the fart huffers and the annoying idiots who, you know, shell out a hundred grand a year to go there. So we also have a situation, if you see the University of Austin, especially on 60 Minutes on Sunday, the game went a little late. So at 60 Minutes really started at 750, I think. Yeah, but that was, Joe Lonsdale started that. Yeah, Joe Lonsdale, he with Mike Kellenberger, with Neil Ferguson, with Barry Weiss. Is it Neil? I thought it was Nile.
Yeah, it looks like Nile, but I think it's Neil. Oh, okay. Look at you, Brian. But he started all this. He got a hundred people this year and they got to, like, they have people applying off the charts.
It's free, but it's an elite education and, you know, they don't have, it's not animal house and they're all in tight, they all have to tolerate each other and they exchange ideas and it was a very good feature to lead with on 60 Minutes. So I think people are there. And then we say, we wake up to the fact and I was gonna wake you up, but you like to wake up with the air horn and we didn't have, your sub was not ready to go in. So Walmart drove back DEI policies, it's been the latest firm to do so. It's like 27 bullet points that are now gone. By the way, Walmart is doing phenomenally well right now and really kicking targets arse.
Right. And this guy, Robbie Starbuck, he had to threaten him, he says Walmart's ending their woke policies. I can now exclusively tell you what's changing and how it happened. Last week, I told the executives at Walmart that I was doing a story on wokeness there. Instead, we had a productive conversation to find solutions below the changes Walmart committed to make. I have to give their executives major credit because they will send shockwave throughout corporate America.
This is the biggest win yet for a movement and wokeness in corporate America. Who's that? It's Salifu, my seamless driver. He's calling back again?
He's, I mean, I'm only one woman, Brian. Right. I mean, do you have any staff at all that could be taking these calls? No, I really should have coordinated something because the timing was really iffy because I ordered it at 1055.
I'm like, oh, it's a gluten-free bacon, egg and cheese bagel. How long will that take? It wasn't seamless. Yeah. Do you want to go get it?
Hi, Salifu. I'll be there in two minutes. Right. I'll be right there. Oh, yeah.
He's not even talking to me at this point. I think we're having our first fight. Right. Is that Swedish? Salifu? I don't think so.
Really? I think it's probably Somali. It sounds like a verb. It does. It probably is. Right.
You know, they have very versatile names. All right. So Kennedy is going to stick around for one more segment or go get her food.
Or both. I think I have time to retrieve it and to come right back and finish the show bigly. My fingers are crossed we hear Kennedy again. Back in a moment.

And I actually think it was Jack Smith who might go down as one of the very reasons my father got elected. Right. It's kind of law of unintended consequences. But I think the only thing I disagree with you on this case is dead. The case got dismissed. The case will not get revived by the time my father's out of office. The statute of limitations will be long gone. You can't have double jeopardy. Laura, this case is dead.
It's not coming back. And that man on the screen right there will go down as a national embarrassment. He will go down as a figure who literally tried to subvert democracy, who tried to put a president in jail for no reason to benefit his political class.
He's an embarrassment. Obviously, very happy yesterday, Kennedy, because the case, Jack Smith's case are gone. But he's still going to issue a report talking about everything he had and, of course, forcing the Trump-pleased people to have a counter-narrative if they choose. But what role do you think these court cases playing in him getting the nomination in the presidency?
I think Jack Smith was the jilted lover who got dumped first. They went all in, and they just assumed if they had this coordinated effort and launched all of these cases within a pretty short amount of time, it was a very compressed time frame, which is interesting seeing as though the genesis of several of these is, you know, five to eight years old. In the Stormy Daniels case, even a little bit longer. But they- But overall- They said they could get a guilty conviction, and they thought that would be enough.
What was the result, though? The result was people, none of it mattered to voters who were in pain. None of it mattered.
I think it's just the opposite. I think some of it got ticked off, especially when they saw the civil case and they saw the idiotic New York case, and it made no sense to them. And then these primary, the Republican primary field couldn't get any publicity at all. All they would say is, hey, Rhonda Santas, I know you're in Iowa, but what do you think about the president's case? Yeah, and they all had to come out and say he's being targeted.
This is unlawful, this is un-American. And you know, and that was when the Trump campaign really took off. So the Democrats today spent over a billion dollars in 103 days, so they have 20 million in debt and they're meeting with donors, at which time people have talked about how they spent like crazy men. I mean now, and we don't even know the depths of their idiotic spending.
We will. But whatever they don't release, because legally they have to, there will be so many requests and so much investigation to really figure out how can someone spend that much money in such a short amount of time and still fall short? That person, you know, I'm one of those people I agree, if you can't manage the financials of a campaign, if you don't have enough juice to get your friends to show up for free to volunteer to make sure you get out the vote, you shouldn't be president. If you're spending that kind of money, that irresponsibly, what are you going to do with free money from the government?
So she says she's not out of the fight, she wants to go back, but I think she's eliminated. If I gave money and I gave billions of dollars, they were still, what happens is people are explaining to me that you get commission off money, it's a spot you buy. Yes. So you're buying spots- You don't get money unless they air. Right, so but you're buying spots in Florida and in Alabama, I mean, what are you doing?
You know, so here you are in the final days of the campaign, you're spending millions of dollars on ads in states you're not even gonna win, so there was no strategy. So you're letting everybody just go crazy, jumping and putting the money for Oprah sets and Beyonce travel. But that's on her because- Absolutely. She's the one who has all these consultants around her.
She is the one who approves the people who approve these ad buys. And if she's not staying on top of it, she's not gonna stay on top of the country, but she was in Texas just a few days before the election. It's like, lady, you got much bigger problems in Texas. She's helping the Senate candidate run against Ted Cruz. You're worried about a senator in Texas when you're trying to win the presidency? And that was the thing I was thinking about the other day, her internal polling, cuz I talked to Jessica Tarlov three days before the election, she was like, her internal polling is fantastic. I'm actually really excited.
She said that to you. Yeah, and I was like, but Trump's internal polling is fantastic, to the point where they almost took their foot off the gas a little bit. They almost had- Trump? Yes.
They almost got a little too comfortable at the very end, and I thought they gave her some of the momentum. But I wanna know who did her internal polling because they were so wrong. Right, I don't know, all the polls just stopped, they go, tie. Yeah.
Cuz I don't wanna be wrong. Yeah, CBS, CNN, like, no, it's a tie. Right, Alec Baldwin came out and said America is just not that smart and uninformed.
We don't read enough. Yeah. So do you wanna help him, would you like- I do, I would like to help him- Can we- Pack the U-Haul to the airport so he could load everything onto a plane. To a smarter country. And just leave, go to a smarter country, go to Italy. Right.
I'm sure they would absolutely love you. He got a lifetime achievement award in Italy and had to put down America. Dumb, dumb.
Most people left Italy to come to America. He's a dumb Alec. Right, hm, I got that. When can we see you again? Gutfelt tonight. Are you gonna be yourself? No, I'm playing Brian Kilmeade.
That's so wrong. Look at my mustache. Absolutely, who's hosting?
I think Joe Mackey. Oh my goodness. He's very funny. In a way. He is. Put the power of over 100 meteorologists and the worldwide resources of Fox in your hands with the Fox Weather Podcast.
