Hello, everybody. I'm Martha McCallum, along with Emily Campagno, Harold Ford Jr., Jesse Waters, Greg Gutfeld. It is five o'clock in New York City, and this is The Five.
00:14
The Five.
00:33
Agitators clashing overnight with New York City police officers after a criminal illegal migrant was shot by ICE agents. DHS says that Oscar Balgal, who is a Dominican national, led in under Joe Biden with Trinitarios gang ties and a rap sheet full of violent crimes. The agency claims that he tried to flee. and run over agents with his car. This is the second time that he fled agents. About a year ago, he fled agents then as well, so he was on their list to apprehend. All of this with his five-year-old son sitting in the back seat.
01:05
The child, thankfully, was not hurt. DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen making clear who is at fault for endangering that child.
01:14
We wasn't aware the child was in the car, I can tell you that. But do you know who was? Oscar. Oscar knew he had a child in his car. Oscar chose to accelerate at a high rate of speed and ram two different vehicles as he appears to be going towards officers.
01:32
And so the public outcry should be also towards this criminal, this thug, this gangbanger, this possible murderer,
01:42
But that was not lost on Mayor Zoran Mamdani. He slammed DHS saying that they don't know how to keep New Yorkers safe. Watch this.
01:52
A New Yorker was shot by ICE agents in Marble Hill. What happened today was an outrage.
02:00
Tonight, a five-year-old child sits traumatized and terrified. We know that ICE is rotten to its core.
02:08
Today's shooting is only further devastating confirmation of what we have long known, which is that ICE operates with impunity, that they sow chaos and terror across our country, that they have killed far more of our neighbors than they could ever have claimed to save.
02:25
There's a lot there. The socialist New York congressional candidate Daria Lisa Chevalier also seized on the moment, went further than the mayor with her rhetoric. Watch this.
02:34
We have a fascist in the White House who is doing this to make us feel powerless because this community will always fight for itself. It will always fight for its neighbors. It will always fight for the people who make this community what it is because we are New Yorkers.
02:51
He messed with the wrong city.
02:55
OK, nice language. Emily, let me start with you. You know, this individual is believed to have some knowledge of the shooting of a border agent in New York last year. They wanted to talk to him about that. They believe that he has ties to this gang that likes to ride around on mopeds with weapons and rob people. He was convicted of larceny and he's. Pending drug charges right now, there's every reason in the world why they would want to apprehend him since there is a detainer for his removal from the country. Nonetheless, Mayor Mamdani says he's a New Yorker and we should protect him.
03:28
For some reason, there's an urgency that develops only when ICE is involved here.
03:36
A murder takes place in an underserved neighborhood. In Chicago, for example, the Dems and the Libs are quiet. There's no outrage. There's no sustained shock and horror at the 1,400 young black men that have been killed in Chicago alone this year. But all of a sudden...
03:50
He becomes the next Maryland dad. You're absolutely right. His rap sheet is horrifying. But also to that specific gang that he's associated with, the Trinitarios gang, their brutality is horrific. And their hallmark is machetes. Just one of the murders they committed was dragging a 15 year old out of a Bronx bodega, attacking him with knives and a machete. Then another convicted gang member helped kill a 17 year old by holding him down while another member shot him. And then they murdered another 19 year old at point blank.
04:21
They then murdered someone in jail that they thought was actually ratting on them. And they put a GPS tracker on someone's car across state lines so they could make sure to hunt him down, track him and murder him. The brutality is, in fact, so horrific that we can't even say the details live on air. And yet somehow they are the cherished New Yorkers we're supposed to protect.
04:39
If you supplanted that gang member with any other demographic, let's say a young white male, let's say an Israeli American and told a story that they had driven a car directly over a lawn for toward law enforcement with the likely attempt at running them down and murdering them with a five year old in the car. I'm sure the uproar would fill the headlines, but it doesn't fit their narrative since it was an ICE agent involved as a New Yorker. I think the people we need protection from is every single member of that gang and every single person that has somehow allied themselves with the most brutal among us instead of clearly the ones that need protection.
05:18
Harold, it's mystifying. Why the neighborhood wants to protect this guy while Mom Donnie, there's no doubt Mom Donnie wanted to change the subject. He had a horrific week after his reaction to October 7th, where he berated Israel, basically, while they were trying to mourn their dead three years ago. But your reflections on what happened here last night.
05:40
Good to be with everybody. I think Secretary Mullen was right.
05:44
The person who knew that there was a Fabio in the car was this man.
05:50
I take issue a little bit. I don't think the community... We heard from some community leaders, some political leaders in the community, but I don't believe that every New Yorker believes... That ice is rotten to the core. I think that we I am in New York. I think we need to get go after the worst the way the president said it from the outset. And this guy, if his rap sheet is any indicator, he is part of the worst.
06:13
So we should all get the narrative right. That that person right there knew his five year old was in the car and he should have stopped when the police are chasing you.
06:21
Law enforcement is chasing you. You stop because you are not here legally. I couldn't understand listening to the mayor. You're right. He had a tough week. He couldn't condemn Hamas.
06:32
He was able. He couldn't condemn Hamas and he couldn't grieve with the Israelis. It's just an unbelievable thing to say. He was trying to negotiate the release of this man. What would he be negotiating the release to? I mean, this this guy's been convicted of something. He's wanted on something. He's here illegally. These are the people we want out of our country. We lose credibility as Democrats when we talk about wanting to make sure those who may be here, whose kids have served in the military, who are working, who are paying taxes, defending that person who's here illegally versus this guy, there's a gulf that could fill all of New York.
07:08
So I disagree. I don't believe that our community, New Yorkers, you didn't mean it that way, but New Yorkers don't want... To protect this guy, you use the right term, the brutality of what happened here. I think that some people, this is very different than what happened in Minneapolis when those ICE officers shot that lady in the car. This is very, very different. And anybody that can't see that. And for the mayor and any elected official here in New York to equate what happened there with this with this guy who knew he had his kid in the car, who knew he was convicted of a crime, who knew he was wanted for certain things and who knows he might have been associating with a gang.
07:44
He's the person to blame, not ICE in this one. And I've been one to be critical of ICE, but ICE needs reforming. But I should not be condemned for this one right here.
07:53
Yeah, you can add to his list of offenses, endangerment of a child in the midst of this apprehension. Jess, your thoughts?
08:01
Well, you're wondering what he's negotiating the release for. Mondani wants him released back onto the streets. Unbelievable. I mean, think about that. He wants this guy back out. This guy's a thief. This guy's got weapons charges. He's a member of a foreign gang. He's a drug dealer.
08:19
And he's got an assault charge. Why would you want to release him here?
08:25
And Emily's right. This guy's just another New York dad, right? They're going to give him a lawyer. They're going to make him a martyr. They're going to give him a drink.
08:33
Probably Monday, you're not going to see the mugshot. You're going to see his high school graduation photo.
08:38
This guy's probably got gang tattoos, but I'm sure he didn't know what they meant when he got them like Graham Plattner. I know what the Democrats are going to do before they do it. This is deja vu. From the minute they break into the country to the minute they get in custody with ICE, they will defend these criminal dirtbags every step of the way. Now, shouldn't this guy have been deported on the first offense? OK, it would have been better for everybody, even him, to get deported on the first fence. Why wasn't he deported on the first fence?
09:08
Because they have a sanctuary city. OK, now Mondani not having a very good run. He had Fettuccine Alfredo with convicts at Rikers.
09:20
Then chuckling on 9-11 with AOC, then accusing the Jews of genocide on October 7th. And now he's defending a Dominican gangster. I tried to have an open mind with this guy. You remember we all said, give this guy a shot, give him a fair shake. But he has blown it. I'm starting to think this guy's a threat. He's the threat. ISIS, not the threat. This guy is a dangerous guy and people have seen the light on him.
09:52
And this is his last chance.
09:56
Two hours on the phone last night with President Trump and the secretary of Homeland Security and also the governor, Kathy Hochul. Right. Good thoughts.
10:04
It is kind of astounding that he is the mayor and he wasn't even born here. And he acts like he can lecture what a New Yorker is, is astounding. He's desperate to recapture some kind of street cred.
10:19
But first, you have to deal with the obvious. It's his responsibility. Street confrontations are downstream.
10:25
from the decision to leave a criminal alien in the community instead of handing them over while he's in prison when you had custody. That is a choice. They had the opportunity, but New York PD was forced to release him based on these sanctuary laws. So non-cooperation forces the arrest on the street.
10:49
ICE doesn't want that. ICE wants the most low risk path to an arrest that you can possibly get. For some reason, they want the highest risk path for that. They want the one with the most chaos, the most potential for harming a bystander, refusing to cooperate. is basically the, like we're pattern recognition monsters. We can see that every one of these moments is downstream from a refusal, a deliberate refusal to cooperate.
11:21
Instead of arresting from a jail cell, it's on a sidewalk. Mississippi has had a ban on, has no sanctuary policies. 87% of the people with ICE detainers are picked up. In New York City, which is sanctuary, it's 4%.
11:37
So like you said, they're out on the street forcing later chaotic arrests. If they're lucky, they might go on and murder somebody else. So I think, you know, there's you got to ask if you could choose between a controlled arrest or a high risk arrest, why would you choose the high risk arrests?
11:56
That leads to another pattern. These are radical mayors and they prefer these highly dangerous moments because they weaponize against law enforcement. There are opportunities to say, look what happened. A dad is kids in the car. You can't have that on just a peaceful exchange of a convict. You have to have it on the street so then they can they can tarnish the law enforcement. push their non-coercive law enforcement in defunding, which is what they're trying to do, the more violence that they enable, the better it is for them to strip away the control law enforcement has over a city.
12:33
That's my feeling.
12:34
You've said it before also. You couldn't go to another country in America and be convicted of a crime, be accused of four other violent crimes. I think they're just going to let you roam around.
12:43
And not only that, this is the only political party in the world that defends these guys. Yeah, I don't stay here.
12:49
I know a lot of Democrats and we do not all defend this. This is wrong. Your party is defending. There are a couple of Democrats here in New York who are defending.
12:55
No, they have sanctuary city policies all over the country.
12:59
I got a lot of Democratic friends. We don't support. I have some too.
13:02
I don't have any. I would just add on the way out that Mom Donnie did not say anything about the detective, the New York detective who was stabbed seven times by two illegals in the city. This is deliberate thing. And, you know, Jessica Tish, the commissioner's out there like applauding her detective as he wheels out of the hospital. Thank God he wasn't killed. by these two. And we heard nothing. But then he's out there defending this person. It just doesn't. It makes absolutely no sense. And the New York police officers have to be at the barricades while people are crushing in on them in an awkward position because they've been told to protect these individuals and not to turn them over to ICE.
13:36
So it's a mess.
13:38
And by the way, this gang was born in Rikers in 1993. So if he actually was a New Yorker, he would know the history that this is a cancerous tumor that needs to be excised. He has no idea the history.
13:49
Fox News alert here. We just got an update from the National Hurricane Center. Right now, Category 3, Isais is hammering the Gulf Coast with torrential rain and steadily increasing wind. Isais? That's how you're supposed to say it, right? Yes.
14:03
We're all going to hell.
14:04
Isais. So let's go to Max Gordon, see how he pronounces it in Florida. Max, when is Isais expected to hit?
14:14
Yeah, Hurricane ESA is expected to make landfall at around 9 p.m. local time somewhere in the Pensacola area. Right now where we're standing in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, we're less than 40 miles away. So we are going to start to feel those severe impacts of the storm very shortly. We're starting to feel them right now with these wind gusts. Some new numbers from the National Weather Service today. This storm has maximum sustained winds of around 115 miles per hour. It's making its way north at about 16 miles per hour. And a big concern right now is the storm surge.
14:45
You can see how high the water is right now on this boardwalk. It is expected to start to inundate this boardwalk shortly. A storm surge between 6 to 9 feet.
14:55
So that is likely going to start to hit this building that we're staying in pretty shortly. So a lot of dangers, a lot of concerns with this storm. But the state of Florida is preparing right now. Around 400 National Guardsmen are on the ground right now. 6,000 linemen prepared to start to restore power. But we've got a long night ahead. A lot of dangerous impacts with this storm. And again, the main message from the National Weather Service is to seek shelter now if you're in the path of this storm. Back to you.
15:21
Max, thank you very much.
15:24
The storm? You say it. I can't say it. I was trying to learn from you. Why couldn't it have been Iggy? If you need an I. I guess they were out.
15:32
Yeah. How did they name these? I thought it was Isaiah at first, but it's Isai.
15:36
It was by the alphabet, dude. Yeah, but when did Isai become a part of the alphabet?
15:40
That's why Dolly was so amazing, because it's picked like a year in advance. And then Dolly happened right after she passed away, which was divine intervention.
15:46
So coming up next, the gloves come off in Michigan. Abdul Al-Sayed and Mike Rogers trade personal attacks. This was fiery, folks. We'll be right back.
16:05

16:30
A heated showdown in Michigan. The race is tight as a tick and the fuses were just as short as Senate candidates Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers duped it out in their first debate last night, clashing over policy and making it personal. The two trading barbs, talking over each other and interrupting almost as often as they answered.
16:50
Well, he's not really a doctor. He says he's a physician. As a matter of fact, if somebody came into his office and he tried to treat that patient, he'd go to jail.
16:59
I have a medical degree from Columbia University. He's got issues with my credentials. He could take it up with them. He doesn't own a home in Florida. He took it off the market.
17:05
I don't know why, but he just took it off as a home in the United Arab Emirates. Staying in the Middle East. Congressman Rogers, you pledge...
17:14
But there was more than just trash talk. El-Sayed taking heat for refusing to answer whether Israel or Iran is the bigger threat to the U.S.
17:23
Who do you think is a bigger threat to the United States, Israel or Iran? You have 60 seconds. And again, Rick, I'm just going to say that that's a ridiculous hypothetical. I'll ask one last time, Israel or Iran? That's, again, a ridiculous question. I think both of them have proven dangerous in their own way.
17:39
Anybody that wants to help my campaign stop a guy who can't condemn terrorism in our own country because he's so close to the people who are supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, I'll take all of that help.
17:51
Greg, contentious indeed. What are your thoughts?
17:53
He's making it. Rogers is making a key point there. He said else I took money linked directly to terrorist groups and else I couldn't deny the claim. We're talking about care and unindicted care and other Islamic groups that are unindicted co-conspirators. So why does this matter now, like more than a year ago or two years ago? Because we've seen.
18:15
Up until as recent as Thursday, that a crusade has been imported.
18:20
It's now out in the open when it used to be, you know, kind of like undercover. It's no longer overseas. It's it's like here. It's.
18:30
With refugee admissions and immigration, we now have constituencies for whom Hezbollah, Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood traveled along with them. The melting pot is now a cauldron. And you have American haters deciding Senate primaries. You have radical networks that are funding candidates. And March on October 7th used our campuses as launching pads for anti-Western intolerance. This is no longer a coincidence. Again, it is a pattern. Hell, we just had a A pilot for what was it?
19:01
United that was talking about how we was pro October 7th. They had to pull pull them off. It's like insane. So I think what's what is disturbing is this. We have two incompatible people.
19:14
That have united Islamism and socialism that you have one hand. You have one that wants divine law. The other one wants secular secular redistribution. But they're sharing a truce against its shared enemy. And that is the liberal West with Israel at its most exposed outpost. So. That's how you get El Saeed. He's a company. He is the combination. Abolish ice and from the river to the sea, all wrapped up at once. One brings an intense theology. The other, the language of civil rights.
19:48
The socialists love the street force of Islamism because they're scarier than grad students.
19:55
But it's a parasitic relationship, Martha, because the whole point is the Islamism would. I mean, you know, they they can't wait to behead all the gay people and all that. You know, right. So they're they're using that vehicle for the agitation here so they can enjoy the success. What were your thoughts on the debate or whatever that was?
20:16
I thought the question was really interesting.
20:18
It's a very simple question. Who do you think is a bigger threat to the United States, Israel or Iran? This is a very easy answer.
20:28
Israel is our ally, has been forever. Obviously, Abdullah Islayad does not agree with that, which he made perfectly clear.
20:36
democracy in the Middle East, all of the reasons that we have always supported Israel. You can question the reaction if you want to to October 7th, whether or not it was proportional.
20:46
But that's not what he's that's not what he's saying here. I think that one of the interesting things when Greg brings up the groups that are proliferating in the United States, I asked him I tried to figure out a way to get at this with him when I interviewed him on Monday. And so I said I was looking up, you know, which Muslim Brotherhood groups are actually designated as terrorist organizations by the United States. Not the ones here, but in Egypt, in Lebanon and in Jordan, they are designated terror organizations. It's a logical question to ask a United States senator, do you uphold the terrorist designations for the Muslim Brotherhood?
21:19
And he would not say yes.
21:21
He would not say that if he was a United States senator, he would stand by those terrorist designations for those organizations which have tried to eliminate Israel. They have fired missiles into Israel from Lebanon and they have supported all of these groups that want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. This was too tricky a question. Apparently, he said, well, I condone I condemn all political violence, which I think is a crafty way of saying, you know, Israel is guilty of that, too. And. Likely the United States, maybe, was what he was also getting at there. I can't read further into what he said.
21:52
But the fact that he had trouble with that is is deeply troubling, I would say.
21:58
And Jesse, that's when amplification comes in and communication so that the voters in Michigan understand this candidate can't condemn essentially designated terror groups and more. Do you think that Rogers got that point out enough or that he got his own point out enough?
22:14
Looked like it at the end. I didn't see the whole thing, but that was a strong finish. But if you're a first generation Muslim, you can play an opening in the United States because of We have a democracy here. You could be a wolf in sheep's clothing. You could run for public office and actually not favor the United States, but get in. And then all of a sudden you're getting briefed by intelligence agencies. All of a sudden you're supposed to vote for treaties and arms packages. Now, can we trust Abdul in that position?
22:47
I don't know. I think we might have to find out. It's a very easy question. As Martha said, Iran has killed Americans. They've tried to assassinate the president. All of their missiles are pointed at our bases. Israel, no matter what you think about them, they could be a little out of control and you can believe that. But the answer is still Iran. Now, also, I don't understand why you thought that was a big line of attack to say the guy had a house in Florida. Everybody over 60 has a house in Florida. Abdul will probably one day have a place in Miami. I don't get that.
23:19
But Barack is going to be there Saturday, AOC next week. And what you're seeing, all hands on deck to get Abdul in the Senate. Because what that will prove is that you can have one of these crazy left wingers that can win a swing state and that opens things up for AOC. If he can win there, she can win there.
23:38
And Harold, I agree with everybody. I was shocked that he couldn't answer the question. We are at war. The president calls it an excursion, but we're at war with Iran because if they develop a nuclear weapon, the fear we have is they will use it against us or use it against our enemies.
23:56
Israel is not attacking us. I understand if you have differences with Mr. Netanyahu, I have differences with him. But if you can't. To Martha's point, forcefully, publicly, emphatically and unapologetically say that Iran is a greater threat to the United States than Israel. I question your fitness to be in the United States Senate.
24:16
I would never question your fitness. You are very fit. Yeah. You work out a lot.
24:21
I don't understand this. This is not a democratic position this guy takes here. This is an obvious answer to this question. You can say that you differ with Israel on certain things. You may think that Mr. Nanyahu is provocative and he creates situations for us. But Iran is a greater threat to the United States. It's also not a hypothetical question. We're in war with Iran. There's nothing hypothetical about it.
24:42
But the fact that he can't say what you said says that he won't. Well, that's a problem. I mean, if he's not willing to say I'm against Netanyahu, I don't like the response to October 7th. It says that that he is it goes much bigger than that, much deeper than that.
24:56
Something's wrong.
24:57
All right, guys, coming up, when did overdoses and shuttered storefronts become progressive? San Francisco's mayor wants a course correction.

25:42
The streets are disgusting. They're just in bad shape. The door, the doors going into stores are dirty. Everything's dirty. It smells.
25:52
President Trump going beast mode on liberal blue cities today. This is San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie admits a city has lost its way after getting trapped in its own progressive values.
26:04
We lost our way as a city. We were focused on the wrong things, and today we're focused on common sense. We got so entrapped in our progressive values and talking about progressivism that we weren't taking stock of what was happening on our streets. There's nothing progressive about 30,000 car break-ins. There's nothing progressive about small businesses having to shudder because they're a victim of crime over and over again.
26:34
Can we clone him? Yeah. I think there are a lot more of him than you think. I think that his his way of going about governing is how you get reelected. When you run on a set of campaign promises and pledges and you begin to deliver for the people across your city or across your state or for that matter, the country, if you're president, people will respond. I thought the most important thing he said was how he framed. There's nothing progressive about letting people get beat up, letting streets be polluted with nonsense. or allowing businesses to be overrun by crime.
27:04
That's not progressive. That's just crime. People who are progressive want fairness in their cities. That's not fair for small businesses to not be able to operate, not be able to function. It's not fair for your kids to not be able to go to school and get a good education. For that matter, go to walk to school and be harmed or be threatened by criminal activity. So I applaud him. And I hope Democrats and Republicans look to this guy because he's actually doing it the right way. Martha.
27:30
I totally agree. I mean, you listen to what he says. It's like common sense versus crazy. And that's common sense. And everybody knows it when they see it.
27:39
You know, all of these cities have been just overwhelmed with, you know, people. You know, this is it's like the needle exchange program. Right. It's like what makes more sense to sweep people. off the street, find somewhere safe for them to be. And just to say, no, you are not allowed to live on the street. You're not allowed to block the doorways. And President Trump is disgusted by it. And that's why the doorway of the of, you know, Trump Plaza is quite clean.
28:02
Greg? Yeah, I like this guy, Lurie. I like the cut of his jib. But I got to disagree with Harold completely. In fact, I'm disgusted by you, Harold. See, Lurie says the city lost its way under progressivism.
28:16
But that's not the case if you would ask Their type of progressive, the the visible disorder was the path that they wanted. They wanted the the the what do you call those were those encampments. They wanted the encampments. Well, there you are. They wanted the open drug use and the retail theft.
28:37
And they saw that the cost of prioritizing again, non coercion. Cops can't tell you what to do. And they also wanted complete police reduced contact. And they were willing to sacrifice street order and quality of life. And they portrayed in any time you ever brought up this is another one of those things that they did with illegal immigration where they accuse you of being xenophobic. If you came out against public drug use, theft, unsheltered transients, they would say that you are a bigot and that this is actually an equity problem, making it the society's fault.
29:09
And that's why they ended cash bail, which we hate. And they lowered theft thresholds and they gave out free pipes. It was an equity problem. And then when they stopped arresting people, they said fewer arrests. Obviously, it's working. It's fewer arrests. And then all of a sudden, the overdose deaths just exploded, just like the property crimes and the car theft. And these were all conditions that politicians didn't have to deal with because they weren't stepping over the bodies. So it always makes me wonder...
29:38
When you watch movies like Mad Max, the first Mad Max and The Road Warrior and Escape from New York, Escape from L.A., you go, it's never going to come to that. But if it would, how would it? And you don't have to wonder how it happens. It germinates in this fashion.
29:56
If progressives, the people who know better, redefine chaos, risk, and harm as freedom for the marginalized. You will have criminals, drug addicts, and homeless on this. You will have Mad Max and Road Warrior before you're out. We do.
30:13
But this very people who you say want to know that they elected this guy, too. He's saying, I'm a progression. This is what progressive politics really is. That's the only point I'm making.
30:21
Yeah, how much you want to bet, though, there were a lot of people that voted for him that hadn't voted in a long time. It doesn't matter. They live in San Francisco. You can't have it both ways. You can't say that. Yes, you can in San Francisco. What?
30:30
They elected him.
30:33
They elected him. Emily, have you been there? Have you been there recently? Has it gotten better?
30:38
Yeah. So I talked to my friends today about it because a few years ago. So I went to school there. I lived there for five years. I grew up across the bay. And a few years ago, I went on a girl's trip. We have an annual girl's trip. And all we talked about.
30:53
All we talked about was how the city was just rotted, how unsafe it was, how they hated having their kids there, how everyone was moving out if they could, how everyone was moving in. We talk about push-pull factors. People were coming from all areas of the state to live on the streets, to shoot up because they knew they could. People were coming from other areas.
31:15
to loot everything. It was terrible. And now the situation, yes, is a lot better. They're unsure, frankly, if it's because of Mayor Lurie. Now, before this was Mayor London Breed. And to everyone in the city, she was considered moderate. But to the rest of the nation, we called her liberal, right? And she was a strong advocate for the needle program and that kind of stuff. I think the thing about Mayor Lurie now is that he emphasizes local businesses. He's always out and about. He's highlighting events and whatnot. Here's what they have on their side. They have all the AI money. They have so much tech money that I think naturally the economy there is thriving because how can it not?
31:51
Obviously, it's shifted down the peninsula a little bit, but I think San Francisco is back. Their prosecutions are up 50 percent since the low of covid. But the point is, is that like it's back, I think, in spite of. of the situation that it continues to nurture, which is the underbelly of rot on the streets. I think if they really had a true fiscally and small business sort of generating mayor, then it could explode. But yeah, that's what he is. Yeah, that's what to do. Even more than tech guys have all become conservatives.
32:22
Totally, totally. But quietly.
32:25
Keep doing what you're doing. Don't listen to people. Keep doing what you're doing.
32:28
Go Raiders.
32:30
We're going to hear more about Emily's girl trip. But the fastest is up next.
32:36
I'm going to give it to you.
32:39
Gold jewelry shine. It's so bright.
32:43
Stronger.
32:46

33:11
Welcome back. Amazon's about you section is going viral because it builds a personal algorithm based profile from your shopping history. And some of the descriptions are downright funny and brutal. Maybe like flat buttocks has no friends, cannot keep real plants alive. Very interesting. Martha.
33:35
So I was curious. So I went on mine to see what it said about me. It said consistently invest in premium skin care, reads historical nonfiction, true protein supplements. Yeah, I think they pretty much they had it. They had it pretty right. But they didn't comment on any, you know.
33:53
Body parts, issues, body parts.
33:55
Emily, your thoughts. What did they say? Did you look up?
33:57
It knew I was an extra small. Thank goodness. And then the top thing, like my interests and hobbies, it was like exercises regularly with structured fitness routine. But also the whole point is it's a closed universe. So it told me that I read thriller novels extensively. And I'm like, yes, but not exclusively. That's just what I buy on your thing. Like, obviously, I go to the library in the second or whatever. And then it talked about how it explores Sicilian Italian literature and like everything was body care products, automotive care, travel accessories, likely invest in professional grade beauty tools, LOL. Like I feel like it's like when you get your credit card data chart thing and you're like, oh my gosh.
34:32
But you can turn them all off. You can cut them off. You can remove every single one of them so it doesn't know those things anymore.
34:38
I'm going to, except for the size.
34:41
You like that part.
34:44
Greg, your thoughts on this?
34:45
Well, you know, I decided first I looked at what I buy. You know, on Amazon, I buy French bulldog toys, gourmet coffee and tea, vitamins and supplements, workout gear. And what did Amazon say about me? You're a big homo.
35:05
Lots of straight guys have a French bulldog and like to work out. Okay.
35:11
time. This is great. Likely has washboard abs.
35:17
Let me see that.
35:19
Likely values specialized cast iron care products.
35:23
Does it really say that? Yeah.
35:25
Likely prefers all clad for premium cookware. It's all my wife shops for is the cookware, but she doesn't cook for me. You've got to figure out who she's cooking for. Oh my God, I've got to go.
35:38
Mine says reads extensively about history, culture, and literature. Oh, my gosh. Prefers literary and nonfiction books across diverse subjects.
35:45
Yours is like a totally amazing shading profile. Like, it makes me look like it.
35:48
Shouldn't you be able to find a serial killer through this? Well, yeah. Like, you know, lots of rope, duct tape, anti-freeze, and hacksaws.
35:57
You know what?
35:57
You're right. Well, that is how they find it. Reads Nazi materials as looking how to build a bomb. Yes. That's what we should be using today.
36:04
We've just got another nugget of interest we can give our government. Fan mail Friday is up next.
36:42
Fan mail Friday. First question from Debbie in elementary school. I'm glad that you pointed that out. What was on your lunchbox? Would have been great if you said high school.
36:51
She says hers was the Beatles. Emily, what?
36:53
OK, so I had my little pony. But also, this is funny. My dad was a doctor. So my lunch, I had it in a specimen bag with a nuclear symbol, which only later did I realize was sort of disgusting. But it was brand new, obviously. But it kept everything cool. But is that funny?
37:08
No, it isn't.
37:09
It's funny. It's funny.
37:11
Harold, did you have a lunchbox? I did. I had two. One was my dad. My dad was in Congress, so he actually was in, got elected to Congress, and the first one was to elect Harold Ford to Congress, and the second one was the Jackson 5.
37:23
Nice. What about you? My mom sent me to school with a crock pot, so I'd plug it in, and then she'd give me the ingredients, and I'd just, you know.
37:32
I don't believe that.
37:33
I don't believe that. Martha? The Partridge family.
37:36
Oh, with the yellow, with the rainbow bus.
37:38
Full bus and, like, all the little different colored rectangles all over it, like the side of the bus.
37:42
God, I had the $6 million man.
37:44
Nice. That was a good one.
37:46
Steve Austin, huh? Shout out to you, Steve. He's watching. Do I have time? Come on. One more. One more. It's $5.52. One more. No, they're telling me. Can I do one more? No.
38:01
What is one thing you always buy but never use, Martha?
38:04
Oh, I don't know.
38:05
Jesse?
38:06
I can't tell you her name.
38:08
Granola. I never use my wife. I throw out a lot of granola.
38:13
Emily? I can't think. I use everything. That's my problem. I don't know. I don't know. Probably something healthy. All right.
38:20
Baloney. Jesse was deodorant, by the way. Deodorant?
38:22
Thank you.
38:27
I said go away.

One more thing, Jesse.
38:56
All right, Mike Ditka, legendary tight end and Hall of Fame coach. Chicago Bears has passed away. First tight end to be inducted into the Pro Bowl Hall of Fame, led the 85 Bears to their first and so far only Super Bowl championship. In a statement, the Bears said Ditka embodied the spirit of Chicago. President Trump said Ditka was a great guy and was with him all the way. Coach was 86 years old. He was an original. God bless him. Tonight, 8 o'clock, Katie Zakaria, our new press secretary.
39:28
All right.
39:30
Great. Awesome. I haven't done this in a while.
39:34
Greggs, check out my beaver. All right, let's go to Rogue. He's a male North American beaver at the San Diego Zoo. He's eating fresh mulberry branches. You know, his four front teeth never stop growing, Emily, much like yours. He only has one opening called a cloaca, which handles urination, defecation, reproduction, and scent marking. Just one opening. The same opening for everything? Yeah, yeah. It could get boring in the bedroom.
39:59
I'll stop there.
40:01
All right.
40:02
Harold. 66 years ago today, John Lennon was born. He helped change the face of music. Oh, I forgot I got this thing. It's his birthday.
40:12
Changed music, changed the way we thought about overseas music and became one of the great peace activists of his time. Happy birthday. Love you. Love your music.
40:20
Emily. Hey, everyone. Guess what? I'm on TikTok now. So you can follow me there. It's the same handle as my Instagram, which is at realemilycompagno. See you on TikTok. See you on Instagram. Everything is awesome. Love it.
40:36
All right. The Book of Valor is now available for presale. And one of my favorite things about it is that Harold Ford Jr. is the voice of Harry Stewart, a young man who was a Tuskegee Airman in World War II. He was a triple ace. And here's a little bit of it real quick.
40:53
On the 10th day, the winners of the first Top Gun were all Tuskegee Airmen of the 332nd. I was just so elated because it proved the point.
41:00
We went head to head with the best and we came out on top.
41:04
So cool. So that group of Tuskegee Airmen won the first Top Gun contest ever. They beat all the other pilots.
41:10
There was no DEI there, baby.
41:12
They were the best. That's it for us. Have a great night, everybody.
