The federal deficit and debt are at a critical point, with the government owing nearly two trillion dollars. President Trump's administration is working to cut waste and corruption, with the help of AI and Elon Musk. Meanwhile, China's growing influence in Hollywood and social media is a concern, with the Chinese Communist Party exerting control over the film industry and popular social media app TikTok.

Hi everyone, welcome to One Nation, I'm Brian Kilmeade. Hope you're having a fantastic weekend.

It's going to get better. Coming up on our show tonight, Kid Rock's got an opinion or two about what's going on in this country and, get this, knows how to lose and knows how to win. Charlie Kirk's here. If there's anyone more impactful with the next generation of conservatives, I haven't met them yet, and Chris DiStefano. He wants to sell out Madison Square Garden.

The good news for him is he's funny enough to do it and famous enough to do it. But first, to this. And it's not the sexiest words I've ever sort of shown with, but it's so necessary. The deficit and the debt. It's not an agenda, it's an emergency. So why are Democrats and the media in such distress?

Instead of celebrating all the waste Doge has uncovered. Donald Trump has outsourced many of the functions of the presidency to Elon Musk. He's an American oligarch. You see this in every autocratic regime. They're also looking to not just access IRS systems, but also potentially lay off IRS workers there. I mean, this is a full scale assault on government.

Your country is under assault. They're not at the gate anymore. They're in your bedrooms. They're in your living rooms. They're in your businesses. They're got they got your data.

He was once one running the RNC. We have no choice. It is simple math. We have to address the deficit. We have to address the debt. Let's take a look at what we're dealing with now.

The federal budget. Six point eight. All right. Simple enough. All right. This is roughly how much money the government has collected the last year.

You ready? Four point nine. All right. Simple math. One point nine. You're talking about we owe one point nine trillion dollars.

And I'll just circle this in my primitive marker packet packet there. One point nine. How do you make up for nearly two trillion dollars? How much is two trillion dollars? Well, if you lay it end to end one hundred dollar bills, guess what?

It would circle the earth seventy five times. Can you wrap your brain around that? Where is this money coming from? Here are the top five things that we actually are spending it on right now.

Interest on the debt. You got the Pentagon. We're going to increase that money there, by the way. Medicare and Medicaid.

That number is only going up. Social security. And the last one is veterans benefits.

Don't they deserve it? So how do we attack this without hurting seniors, the veterans and the medically challenged? How do we deal with the debt, which is at thirty seven trillion dollars? This is what leaders think about. And this year we're projected to spend and I'll erase this. Guess what?

Predictable. Even more. We got seven trillion.

All right. Seven trillion. Now we're bringing in a record.

This is nothing to be ashamed of. Five point two. Got that? So one fine to five point two.

Then you have one point eight. Who is paying that bill? You cannot cut the debt unless you cut the spending. We can't cut spending unless we know what we're spending it on. Musk and Doge is exposing and cutting with one goal to save our economy, ultimately our country.

I really want to emphasize to people that this is a very important point. If we don't solve the deficit, there won't be money for medical care. There won't be money for Social Security. We either solve the deficit or all we'll be doing is paying debt. It's got to be solved or there's no medical care. There's no Social Security. There's no nothing that's got to be solved. It's not optional.

America will go bankrupt if this is not done. That's why I'm here. That's why he's here.

It's not like you have to cut to the bone. You just have to cut out the fat and the fraud and the farcical spending. They found thirty three million in education department grants to groups that push far left ideas like critical race theory and forty four point six million in cancelled leases for unused office space. Four point eight million dollars spent in Ukraine for social media influencers. I uncovered over three million dollars to a rap artist in Gaza producing anti Israel anti Semitic songs.

A hundred and eighty two million in Department of Health and Human Services contracts that had nothing to do with health. Nothing. So Elon Musk and his crew are exposing all of this.

What is wrong? Why aren't people celebrating this exposure, this uncovering? This president for the first time in history is committed to restoring accountability at every level of the federal government. You may assert there's no waste in the Pentagon. You may assert there's no waste in treasury. You may assert there's no waste in HHS. Why are you not celebrating these cuts?

If you agree there is waste, if you agree there is abuse, if you agree there is corruption, why are you not celebrating the cuts, the reforms that are being instituted? It's unbelievable. Joining us right now to talk about this. He knows the math. Turning Point USA guy and host of the Charlie Kirk show, Charlie Kirk.

Charlie, your reaction to the reaction from what Doge is doing. I've never seen anything like it. It's remarkable.

And you're exactly right, Brian. This is a national emergency that has been looming over the last couple of decades, but especially from covid. Right before covid, we were spending approximately about like $4.4 trillion as a federal budget. As you just articulated, we're on pace to spend $7 trillion.

That is a monumental increase in just five to six years. Where is the money coming from? Well, the people that I talk to on college campuses, we are mortgaging their future. We are stealing their future to pay for the bloated government programs that no one can substantiate.

We're talking about empty office leases. We are talking about $20 million for a Sesame Street knockoff in Iraq, stuff that nobody would ever justify. But what President Trump has done is he sent Elon Musk on the most ambitious fiscal fixing mission in the history of modern politics and maybe in the history of American government. If we do not balance our budget and we continue these trillion dollar deficits, we are going to become a nation in economic malaise. And I don't want to I don't want to over exaggerate the catastrophe that this would be, but we would go bankrupt. The U.S. dollar is already on verge of losing its prowess internationally. And if we are if we owe so much more money than what we are Earth, which we are flirting with right now, then the next generation will not have the same future that their parents once enjoyed. This is about a more moral argument.

Are we going to leave a better country to our kids and grandkids? And God bless President Trump, Elon Musk, for fighting for that against all the opposition in D.C. All right. I just think if people knew about it, they would understand it.

They could rally behind it because so many times have different portions in our lives. We've we spent more on a credit card. You hit that ceiling and you're lucky to make the minimum payments and you can't get out of it. We're almost at that point as a country where all we do is the minimum payments on the interest, on the debt.

That's not going to defend us and that's not going to provide any health care or Social Security. I want to salute you. New York Times magazine calls Charlie Kirk the youth whisperer of the right.

You're just 31 years old. Your impact is substantial. Your thoughts about your the review and your role in President Trump winning this time?

Well, first and foremost, it was a very illuminating piece, very touched by it and honored to have been captured there. But honestly, President Trump is the one that deserves the credit. I'm just along for a ride and so is Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action. This has been an amazing movement the last eight years, last decade that we've seen of the total recalibration and the reconfiguration of American politics. Brian, what we saw this last election cycle, especially with the work that we were doing on college campuses, was one of the most sizable demographic realignments in history. What President Donald Trump was able to do was win the youth vote in the state of Michigan, almost win it in Wisconsin, almost win it in Pennsylvania. We're talking about 30 and 40 point movements over the last couple of years in President Trump's direction.

And so the New York Times, you know, they'll call me whatever they want. I will say this, though, that we were able to play a small role and be a vessel for a greater purpose. And you can make the argument that if the youth did not vote the way they did, President Trump would not have won back in November. So it's the next generation that delivered President Trump a second term in the historic mandate. And by the way, I saw it from 18 to 30 in the CBS poll. He's got 57 percent approval rating.

I never thought that would be with the Republican president. Pretty impressive. But you actually go to the campus. You have events. I've done some events with you. And it's pretty amazing what you've done.

And then a lot of these people graduate and help you out and start working with you. Here's a little of what Charlie does when he goes and engages the students and sees what their argument actually is. Watch. You're a feminist. Shouldn't you be able to tell me what a woman is? Isn't that probably important to feminism? What is the woman that you're trying to advance and protect? Would you rather have that black kid have a role model be Kendrick Lamar or Clarence Thomas?

Kendrick, obviously. So not the not the black American on the United States Supreme Court. No, he's he's trying to ban interracial marriage.

He's trying to like do up. Wow. He's he's in an interracial marriage.

That's the difference is that we as conservatives think that Clarence Thomas is a far better role model for black America than just some some rapper. Right. So what do you find when you go to these campuses? You listen. Number one, they're encouraged by that. But what do you find amongst the students?

And increasing openness and willingness to engage. Of course, the clips that go viral are some of the more combative and hostile students. But just a couple days ago, we were at University of South Florida. We drew over 2000 students, Brian, and this is in the midst of all the media coverage of Trump administration saying that the world is ending after an election cycle. And we had 2000 kids at a very liberal school.

Wait for hours and listen to me take questions and an open mic. We see this in the data and we see this on the ground, the work that we're doing at Turning Point USA. We are seeing the next generation become profoundly more conservative than even their parents in a way that no one saw coming.

It is cool to be conservative again. No one wants to be part of the woke political correctness group. They want to be behind Elon Musk.

They want to be behind Doge. They want to have that future that they've heard so much about. And President Donald Trump has been signaling to this generation that we're going to fulfill for you that you can own a home that you can have a better future. And we're hearing from the next generation that they no longer want to be part of the left. And they're just missing that activist spark that was there under Obama.

And we are seeing a real right wing revolution happening with the next generation. Charlie Kirk, thanks so much. You had so much to do with it.

And you just your guy in your 30. So who knows one day you're probably running for president yourself. Charlie, thank you.

Thank you. So China's growing influence over America is not limited to things you hear most about like manufacturing, social media and trade. Since the 1990s, the Chinese Communist Party has had a stranglehold on one of America's biggest, most successful industries, Hollywood. Take for example, Martin Scorsese's film was directed in 1997. He directed it's called Seven Years in Tibet. Watch.

We do not sit lower than he does. Wow. So as you can see, that scene and many others in the film paint the Chinese in a negative light. After the release, Scorsese and star Brad Pitt were banned from traveling to China.

I'm not kidding. Another example, World War Z, a movie you probably didn't see the original part was about a zombie outbreak from China. But the studio changed the origin of it to North Korea because they probably didn't have electricity. Fearing retribution from the Chinese Communist Party, they switched 2023. The Barbie movie faced backlash for featuring nine dash line showing a contested area China claims to own.

Do you believe this? No one, no, no one knew more about all this and what China was doing to our society step by step than the author of this book, Seven Things You Can't Say About China, Senator Tom Cotton. Senator, I don't usually associate you with Hollywood and issues, but this time it actually crossed over and it really matters, doesn't it? Yeah, Brian, I think it's a perfect example of the kind of influence China has infiltrated into our society, our business, our government. The book titled Seven Things You Can't Say About China, one of the reasons it's hard to say certain things is because of that influence and leverage that China has here. And in Hollywood, it's maybe most acute. As you said, there has not been a major movie with the Chinese villains since 1997 and the crackdown on seven years in Tibet.

Just think about it. When was the last time you saw a movie with the Chinese bad guy? That's because all those studios need access to the very large, lucrative Chinese movie market.

But it doesn't stop there either, Brian. Think about the major news networks in this country. Aside from this one, Fox News, every network is owned by or affiliated with one of those studios, ABC and Disney, CBS and Paramount, NBC, MSNBC by Comcast Universal, and CNN and Warner Brothers. Do you really expect them to report fully and fairly on China the way Fox News does?

I don't. Absolutely not true. So another thing is it just associated well with TikTok.

Why does it matter? That's another way to get the next generation of Americans to get that newsfeed so they never see anything positive about Taiwan, all positive about China, and make sure that their points of view are subtly pushed forward. That's the danger.

And that's why it's got to be sold. Yeah, Brian, that's the difference between TikTok and any other social media app, none of which are perfect. Obviously, TikTok is under the thumb of Communist China.

So that's why your data security is so dangerously at risk. Even if you're a kid, kids grow up to be adults and work in law enforcement and the military and the intelligence community in sensitive industrial positions, but also the content they're exposed to now. It's much worse than what you see on American social media apps about drugs, violence, eating disorders, even glamorizing suicide. And of course, there's the communist propaganda. Don't go and TikTok and expect to hear about Christian persecution in China, or Taiwan or Hong Kong or Tibet, just like the new deep seek AI search engine from China. What you will find is more Chinese communist propaganda promoting China. In addition to other kinds of content that's dividing our society, like the antisemitism that is a wash on TikTok. And in your book, you know, these are subtle ways of attacking America, but they also talk about how to attack America.

They are, they are building up a military to fight us. Here's an excerpt for those people who think religion matters in every society. How about this? President Xi has intensified the party's anti-Christian crusade in recent years. You write in your book banning kids from attending church, eliminating Sunday schools, requiring school children to sign pledges to remain an atheist, a clear attempt to wipe out Christianity from the next generation. The party also banned online retailers from selling the Bible, torn down thousands of crosses, demolished untold growing number of churches and party members have forced Christians to replace images of Jesus and Mary with portraits of president Xi and local communist bosses.

I can go on. This is how farcical and how maniacal these people are, not the people of China, but the government. Yeah, Brian, I think it's important to remember that the Chinese people are the first and the worst victims of Chinese communism going back a hundred years. I think many Americans are surprised to learn that China is one of the largest Christian nations in the world, up to a hundred million Christians there, and they all face persecution. They all face various kinds of threats and intimidation. And China is trying to wipe out Christianity in the next generation.

It's just one more example of the kind of sins and crimes that China commits against its own people, as well as the aggression against America. And lastly, some good news, uh, really go coincides with secretary of defense. Hegseth recruiting is now up and really you can go back to president Trump winning the election. It's now something cool to be in the military.

Again, they're changed the imaging and people are running the stats show it. Does it surprise you? No, I think it's a clear Trump effect after the election, uh, recruiting started going up. I think secretary Hegseth is prioritizing recruiting as well. I think we're going to continue to see this and we're going to see a military that is rebuilt after four years of neglect by Joe Biden.

You know what? The army already has got 65% of the goal. The Navy's through the roof and the Marines have always hit their numbers.

You're an army guy. I know, but, uh, it's just good news that people still care about the country. Thanks so much. And congratulations on the success of the book, Senator Tom cotton. Appreciate it.

Thank you, Brian. You got it. Meanwhile, coming up only on one nation, the one and only kid rock his undying support for president Trump and why he thinks this term is so different, but first, what role does AI play in cutting government waste? We'll discuss it. The first ever AI cryptos are David Sachs coming your way. And if you're in Dallas next week, I want to see you in person, February 26, the community beer company. I'm thirsty already from six day to enjoy the food, comma drinks, comma and fun with me, exclamation point.

There are many ways to do it. So doge, it's the hottest word in Washington right now, the department of government efficiency for right underneath it is AI artificial intelligence. What role is AI playing in helping doge be effective and ultimately make everything in government, including the Trump administration more efficient. That responsibility falls partially in the lap of our next guest who left Silicon Valley to help Donald Trump as the first ever AI and cryptos are David Sachs, a big portfolio and a nice guy joining us now. Hey David, what is the role of AI right now in reshaping the government and its role with doge?

Well, Brian, good, good to be here. You know, I think that doge is playing an incredibly important role right now in reshaping and reforming the government. They're really looking at everything. They're looking at where the money is going and they're getting to the bottom of how the money is being spent. And to do that, you have to go to the system level and look at, you know, actually what's happening in the accounting systems, what's happening in the HR systems.

And no one had really done that before. And I think that is what is leading to all these discoveries of waste, fraud, and abuse. So when you are, you're there now for 30 days, are you making an impact? You feel like you're making an impact? Oh, I think the impact has been huge. I mean, not only has there been sort of this sense that, uh, of discovering all of this waste and corruption, but I just think more generally there's been a huge cultural shift in the country where people feel like we can now change things. We can now, uh, make the government work. You know, there was a real sense after the Biden years of kind of learned helplessness and fatalism where people basically felt like we couldn't change anything.

Anytime anybody tried to do something, uh, you know, there was always an objection to it. And I think that we're seeing now that president Trump is really just getting things done. It's quite amazing. You know, uh, Elon Musk and you know, president Trump now very well, are you surprised how they seem to be getting along and why, and why do you think it is working? Well, I think they're, they're sort of kindred spirits. I think Silicon Valley is a optimistic place.

It's a kind of a high agency place. People believe in getting things done and I think that those are views that president Trump and Elon Musk both share. So it's not surprising to me that they both, uh, that they get along very well and, uh, you know, and they, they both have a similar outlook on, on the reform they want to bring to the government. So what, what did you think when you, when you talk to Elon, when he goes in there, he goes into treasury, he's going into education. Now he's going to be heading over to the Pentagon when he goes in there and comes and tells you what he sees.

Since you're both from the private sector, depending on yourselves for everything, you staff up, you staff down, you move on, you take big bets. What is he seeing that, that you both are finding relatively, uh, astounding about government and the systems we have? Well, with the systems, I mean, I thought the systems were outdated and antiquated and you know, we'd find systems running on cobalt and punch cards and things like that, but he's finding systems that aren't even computerized. I mean, did you see the thing about the, the mine shaft where they're keeping all the doctors, the bomb of a mine shaft and anytime a government employee needs to retire, they have to go to the bottom of the mine shaft and get the documents out. I mean, we're still dealing with paper. I mean, Brian, you, you mentioned AI, you know, AI needs data in order to work and we're dealing with systems here that aren't even in the computer era.

We still have to digitize them to get some of the data. That's how backwards it is. So what we're seeing is just that these government systems are beyond, uh, antiquated. And, uh, and I think what Doge is doing is bringing some modern, you know, modern it to the government. Where's AI heading? We heard this week they rolled out grok three over on Twitter, which is X. Uh, we know chat by GBT continue to have to evolve and we know about what the Chinese are doing with deep seek.

Have you been able to keep up with what's happening here? Well, it is, it's very good. Space is very competitive. And what you're seeing is that there's, there's about a half a dozen super competitive AI companies and they keep leapfrogging each other. So you had open AI, had the first reasoning model called a one and then deep seek sort of leapfrog that with our one.

And now, um, now you have X AI leapfrogging with grok three. So it's just great for the consumer. It's great for America to see these super competitive companies that keep coming out with better and better models. And that's going to be ultimately for the benefit of, of consumers and businesses. And you're just going to keep seeing a ton of innovation here over the next four years. You know, under president Biden, they had this executive order that really stifled innovation and just anointed two or three big tech companies to be the winners. And president Trump rescinded that executive order and it's really letting, you know, a thousand flowers bloom now.

And I think you're going to see a ton of this competition continue and that's going to ultimately lead to a ton of interesting new products for, for consumers. David Sachs. Thanks so much. It was great talking to you now as a czar. Thank you.

All right. Meanwhile, straight ahead, we're a month in and unhinged Democrats still can't get over the election loss. Will we ever find common ground? Now's not the time to gloat.

You know, I really believe in bringing people together, reasonable people, right? Kid Rock has a message to the sore losers and the exclusive interview. You'll only see on one nation. Keep it here on this Sunday. Where does the time go? Welcome to Fox news live.

I'm Ashley Stromire in New York. President Trump's plan to stop refugee aid could soon face a roadblock in court. The Trump administration suspended services and funding to help thousands of refugees on Friday. The administration says it's trying to limit entry to the U S to protect national and public security on Tuesday, a federal judge in Seattle will consider a motion to pause president Trump's order. Also this week, president Trump's cabinet will officially meet for the first time.

And that'll happen on Wednesday. California's governor is asking Congress for nearly $40 billion in wildfire relief. Governor Gavin Newsom wants the aid to help the Los Angeles area rebuild after wildfires devastated a number of communities last month.

Newsom's request comes just days after the mayor of LA room moved to the city's fire chief over criticisms of how she handled the emergency response. I'm Ashley Stromire back to one nation with Brian Kilmeade. Welcome back.

Hope you're having a fantastic weekend. This story, George Clooney, turning on Joe Biden was arguably the beginning of the end. Remember that it was a low blow from a long time supporter and big time celebrity, but perhaps now there is something to give George Clooney Clooney credit for.

He knows how to lose. This is democracy and this is how it works. And you know what, what the hell are you supposed to do this time for you? I forgot who you were supposed to do.

You know, storm the capital, you know, it's like it didn't work out. That's what happens. It's part of democracy and we'll get, you know, and there's the people who agree and people who disagree and most of us still like each other. We're all going to get through it.

Nice. Unlike Boopy Goldberg, who clearly does not get that concept. It's hard to talk to people who support people who think you don't matter in the country, but it's not supporting the person. No, no, but it is when you support that person. Wow. In that industry that encourage you to not take a stand. Rock artists, superstar, Kid Rock took one long time friend, president Trump and he joins me right now.

All right, great to see you. So Bob, are you more like Clooney, compete and then shake and hug it out? Were you more like Whoopi? I can't deal with that person. Well, I definitely don't have too much Hollywood in me at all.

I would like to say zero percent as a matter. Matter of fact, I've been proud for years to be called Hollywood's kryptonite, but in full disclosure, you know, I've me and George have mutual friends and I've known him throughout the years and he's always been a pretty sensible, fun guy, fun to be around. You know, pretty smart. Seems like he's got common sense.

Of course, we disagree on political things, but I would definitely have to put myself a little bit more like George. I mean, I don't know. I don't know what Whoopi is angry about.

It seems like everything. Bless her heart. But yeah, you know, I would say, you know, hey, at least George, you know, had the cone ads to kind of speak up after after what most of us saw for four years, clearly of Joe Biden's cognitive health that something's wrong here. You know, who the hell is steering the ship? And then at least he had, you know, the fortitude to call him out and say, like, look, something's not right here.

God bless him. I don't wish anything bad. You know, we're all going to have to face things like this or no people who are facing it are going to face it. And, you know, it was just it was completely wacky to me, like, oh, everything's fine.

Like, who's steering the frickin ship? Exactly. It's sad, for example. For example, you might think Jimmy Carter's policies are bad, but you don't think there's anything wrong with Jimmy Carter. You thought there's something physically wrong with with Joe Biden. But you also say with this booth, President Trump, you see a change. You've known him for a while, but you see something different about him this time.

What is it? Oh, man. I mean, I think I think a lot of it's I mean, I don't really think he had any problems with confidence ever, but there's something about a level of confidence. And I think that comes with with with knowing that what you did the first four years was was the right thing to put this country first and then to have four years to kind of sit back and see exactly what not to do and then come in knowing, you know, it's experience. It's just experience.

And he had, I'm sure, you know, trying to, you know, people take his life a couple of times, you know, definitely, you know, brings out a certain, you know, thing in any of us, any of us who have witnessed death or been close to it. So I think I think it's just, you know, and also also knowing really, you know, you know who the right people are at this point. Yeah.

People you can trust to implement the America first agenda. Yeah, I know. You know, I've never seen him smile so much, even dating back to when he was promoting fights. He just seems happy.

I know you're used to this, but not many other people are. You went to arena and people are cheering. There's something about when I watch you go into an arena UFC event with Trump and with whoever is with them that day, that seemed to me to be as exciting as it gets as we roll it. Could you tell me what it's like walking in to a UFC fight with president Trump? Oh man, it's, you know, number one, I'm not used to playing second fiddle in that, in that area too much, but if I was ever going to do it and I would be proud to do it anytime that, you know, Dana White calls me to be part of it and really Dana White kind of gets a lot of credit for putting that together, for being friends with Trump and saying, you know, no, we're going to walk into Kid Rock's American Badass playing. You know, I just kind of get to, you know, tag along like a kid in the grocery store with his mom, you know, and you know, I just look up to him for having, having the balls to stand up for this country the way he has and just fight for our country and unapologetically just be a thousand percent red, white, and blue. I can relate to that.

I can relate to roughly some people's feathers and trying to speak your truth and being honest and open. And I don't, you know, I don't think we're ever going to see anything like this, at least in my lifetime. I can't foresee it.

I've been fortunate enough to be around pretty much every living president, spend some time with them since Carter. And this is just, this is just, I mean, it's different. I know it's like a little girl. I'm giddy. I know. And the thing is people chant USA, USA. So you know, you're on the right team. So I'm excited for your tour. The 21st is going to be in Omaha, Nebraska. We have great affiliates out there. Great Fox fans. You Nickelback will headline with a rock the country on the nine city tour tickets available at kid rock.com. You're also doing something cool.

May 16th at AT&T stadium in Arlington. You're teaming over at the PBR team rodeo format. How's that going to work?

It's great. Rather than, than, you know, like people racing against the clock for most of the events, they're actually going head to head, whether it's steer ropers or you know, girls barrel racing. So you get more drama in there.

And this is, this is a sport where people, you know, Cowboys really don't like people messing with their sports. So, you know, we did our first one last year and, and everyone was ecstatic from all the world champions that were part of it to the riders and the fans. So we're, we're really looking forward to the second one this year. Okay.

Rock. Thanks so much. We look forward to seeing you out in the road and we'll make sure to tape everything you do.

And hopefully we'll get you on the Fox and friends concert series this summer, because I like to see you actually play in that, playing your music, singing your songs in the morning. Let's see if you're as good in the morning as yours night. All right. All right. All right. Are you sure you guys can afford me?

Probably not. We'll see what we can do with the budget. You know, we'll take half a Ducey salary. We'll see if we can afford you kid rock. Thanks so much. All right.

Straight ahead. Actress Tori spelling, stirring up huge debate for paying her son to give her massages. Is this good parenting father of three comedian, Chris DeStefano has some thoughts.

He'll be here next. My whole family's I love Puerto Rican culture. I love the Latino culture. Very family oriented.

Yes. There's always a lot of people in my house. Like I'll go home tonight. There'll be 10 people in my house.

I don't know. I just out there and every day I'm going to the airport, picking up people from San Juan. We're getting back.

Hey, I got her. I believe if you have no kids, you have no problems. I don't know what you're complaining about in your life. If you have no children, go do whatever you want to do. Hey, ever you want to do it. Nobody's stopping you.

I can't do whatever I want. Every step I take, I have three little empanadas on my uncle. They're like papi left. She's leaving. She's like, not if he's going to make fun of.

Yes. That's comedian Chris DeStefano making us laugh harder than ever. And his new Hulu special called it's just unfortunate. He's currently on tour with a big show coming up in September, September 11th, where he plans to sell out the world's most famous arena, Madison square garden. And he could appear with an expert.

He wants to be the show himself. Luckily he's here to stop by first. Chris, great to see you. Great to see you. First of all, let me tell you something, Brian. Okay. You got great teeth.

Are they fake? No, you got the best teeth in the business then. And you're one of these guys that my mom is single. You're one of these guys that you'd be a nightmare. If my mom was like, I got a new boyfriend and it's you because you're just so handsome and you're just better than my dad.

But you're also so likable. So it'd have to just understand that you're having sex with my mom and I have to just take it. A couple of things are going on here. I don't know where that came from, but why do I feel awkward?

This is your problems and you threw it on me. It came from my brain on Paxil. That's what's happening. So it's a prescription. It's a prescription. I have a prescription brain. Right.

Fantastic. So Chris, the last time I saw you was a Madison square garden and I said to you, you got the best seats in the house. And it's because the Nick screwed up. They forgot to leave you tickets and you ended up with these unbelievable tickets. I get to the game. I'm like, Oh, I'm here.

They're like, Oh, we don't see name on the list. I said, no, I got, I showed the text. I got the tickets by the way. I said, w w we apologize, sir. We don't have the tickets, but we are going to get you seats where the next for master square garden. We will make it right. I said, thank you. They sat me at the scores table at the scores table, right next to New York.

Nick's bench. I was giving at, I was messing around. They had like mints and wraps. There was one time Jalen Bronson was walking to the bench and he was pointing to his hand for the trainer. And I gave the trainer the tape. I was like, let me smell that tape.

Right. It was awesome. It's great to be you. And now you're going to be playing at this arena.

Is there, so if, what is it going to be like for a Queens guy to play Madison's core guard? It's the only thing that's ever like really mattered to me in comedy is to do comedy at Madison square garden. And I'm doing the show on September 11th.

You know, I have a thing. If you Google Chris DiStefano, nine 11, my comedy bit on there about my dad coming in, threatened to kill the principal and what happened to me on nine 11. So what I want to do is going to do the show. And then I either want to give proceeds to a different nine 11 foundation or open up an entire section of the arena, just for first responders, just for my cops, my firemen, my first responders, those guys, because, you know, I'm just a, you know, I'm a New York city kid.

And here's the thing, Chris, you were pro cop when everyone was to fund the police. You said, screw that. I am not doing that. A hundred percent. Can I ask you about some things in the news that are bothering me that I wanted to bounce off the owner? If you want, if you, if you want to reject any topic, feel free to do it. Great.

All right. First off, NASA says a city killer asteroid has a 3.1% chance of hitting earth. They're really working on some type of defense mechanism. Should we be worried? Is this something that would bother you? It's not going to bother me. Elon Musk will save us. So don't worry about it. Here's the thing is just, I just, can you deflect that asteroid long enough that it just doesn't kill us before my show, September 11, 2025 at MSG after that kill everybody. I can't guarantee it, but it's up to Elon to come up with the answers.

All right. So what about celebrities? They are now wondering if in your special, there's some things like Tori special. This could be the Tori spelling. She could be in your special.

She revealed that her seven year old son massages her for an allowance. Do you have a problem with that? Yeah, I feel like it's illegal and I feel like I'm watching this video and I want to immediately send this to cash Patel. FBI needs to be involved right now. Really? He's only been on the job one day. He's got to deal with this.

Open up your inbox, Mr. Patel. We have Tori spelling evidence. Mia Kunis and Ashton Kutcher do not wash their or bathe their kids unless they have a grime.

It's like it's openly, they have grime on their face or it looks like they're visibly dirty. So what I'm going to do in addition to also sending that material to cash Patel, I'm going to call my boys, my boy, Patty fly balls, a fireman. We didn't get the hoses out. We're going to get the hoses from ladder 14. I'm going to spray these kids down.

Okay. I'm going to get the hose to wherever the Milo Kunis asked me to get off. Whatever it is.

I'm just, I'm lost in your eyes, babe. I'm going to wash these kids down with an FDNY regulated fire hose because you got to clean. You got to turn your kids.

You got to clean the dirt. I mean, you know, what do you have? They don't want to dry out their skin. Is there a thing?

My God, dude, what, what are people talking about? I don't know. But then clean them and rub them down with lotion. Right.

I don't know what you want me to rub them down with lotion like Tori spelling. Yeah, absolutely. All right. So there's a, I'm going to ask you honestly, um, we had this big debate, uh, and is your wife, right? You're engaged, right? You're engaged.

She got married, engaged, and you've had kids, but you're doing everything reverse. We do it. That's what they do. I'm Chrissy backwards. More, more, more on that later. Yes. But here's, okay. Uh, if there was an emergency and you're filling that form, would she write you down as the emergency contact in case of emergency contact? Chris, are you responsible enough? She's actually told me directly into my face that she would feel more comfortable with our three year old daughter as the emergency contact than me because one, I wouldn't pick up the phone and two, if I did, I would panic and pass out and not be able to help where my three year old daughter would know what to do. All right.

Here's what, uh, how I dealt with that same question. Do you think that Brian is Dawn's emergency contact? Not a chance. I will not speak for her emergency contact.

I would, you know, even though, uh, my son's away college, I think she would choose him. I'm just being honest. Brian, I can confirm from Dawn that her emergency contact is also my three year old daughter. We are irresponsible people, but we're happy. That's it. Here's the thing. Does your fiance think you're funny? Uh, at times when she's drunk or under the influence of drugs.

You have some altered status. Listen, Chris doesn't need our help, but let's make sure this thing is sold out. Chris comes home from Queens to a different borough.
