100,000 fentanyl overdose. 1200 migrants died on u.s. soil since joe biden became president and we don't hear a word. liz: tom homan, it's good to see you. i'm elizabeth macdonald and you've been watching "the evening edit" and that's it for us. join us again tomorrow night. kennedy: ali versus frazier, and coke versus pepsi and now trump versus garland. the former president setting up the showdown of showdowns with the attorney general pushing garland to reveal his cards over the raid on mar-a-lago. he's demanded the fbi return his stuff but today on truth social, number 45 wants again upped the ante posting "there's no way to justify the unannounced raid of mar-a-lago, the home of the 45td states who got more votes by far

than any sitting president in the history of this country. by a very large number of gun toting fbi agents and the department of justice but in the interest of transparency, i call for the immediate release of the completely un-redacted affidavit pertaining to the horrible and shocking break in. also the judge on this case should recuse". no dice on the recusal but judge rinehart will reveal about the affidavit and trump's political lies are calling on judge to do that. >> when it comes to trump, there are no rules. every republican should be suspicion of what's happened in the past happening again so we need the affidavit. show your cards, merrick garland can't have it both ways and give us the inventory of the warrant without telling us why it was necessary. without the affidavit, we're

flying behind in the dark and the american people are going through too much pain and heart ache on this endless efforts to destroy donald trump. kennedy: the reason they want it released because many on team trump do not trust the fbi. guess what, neither do a bunch of libertarians that don't care about trump at all. as usual this case gets more bizarre by the minute. remember peter struck. the disgraced fbi guy that sent text messages to his lawyer lover about trying to end trump's presidency. he now has the nards and eggplant emoji saying the fbi should be trusted, no questions asked. pete. >> the american public should trust the fbi indefinitely. >> the fbi is going out on a day in and day out basis objectively investigating allegations of law. kennedy: objective. that's a fun word. that's not applicable to a lot of the stuff the fbi does in regards to people on the right. so as this trump garminland

battle intensifies -- garland battle intensifies, who's going to blink first. where she senior analyst for the "federalist". chris bed bordford is back. kevin walling and baseball politics cofounder and foundation for economic education content manager, my karaoke partner, hannah cox. there we are. let's discuss this, chris. the president just wants his stuff back. is it his stuff and do you think the judge is going to unseal the affidavit? >> i don't have any faith that the judge is going to unseal the affidavit here. i would love to see that though. i'd love to see the motivation for raiding the president's home. the one thing -- the silver lining i've seen in this though is how skeptical, finally, finally the american people are of the fbi, intel community of what the government says. four, five years ago the fbi

raiding the house of a former president would cause everyone of both parties to gasp and wonder what's coming and what awful thing is coming. we dealt with the russia hoax and everything after that and the cycle of republicans kind of scatter they ducked their heads and don't know what to say. people start to worry and pull on the edges, fact checkers come out and years later turns out to be completely bogus. it's moving from months or years to literally minutes and hours in some cases where people are saying, hold on a second. unseal that affidavit and show us your cards. you need transparency when you try to arrest political opponents. kennedy: kevin, the thing about this case, which happens with everything concerning the former president is it has divided the country. there are people who support the former president who say that he is once again being unfairly targeted and the fbi is using a battering ram unjustly to target him in ways that has nerve pathology happened to -- never happened to a former president. then you have people on the left saying that he is so yucky and

untoward there's been a celebration from everyone from steven colbert to the entire cast of hack sat at msnbc. where do we stand? >> yeah, kennedy, i think you're absolutely right. this mass only further divided us as a country and we retreat into outrebounded silos based on what we -- our silos on what we think about donald trump and to chris' point, there's many more questions than answers, i agree with chris, that's it's unlikely this federal judge will release the affidavit in its purest form as donald trump is calling for. but i think you're seeing donald trump playing this out in the court of public opinion rather than that the legal space. we know a holt of the documentation is about a grand jury that's been impaneled, which often omi operates in seew seizure disorders before charges with brought against a individual in this country. we will see in this plan that donald trump is enacting works out in terms of planning it out in public rather than the legal

smart thing to do, which is to really lawyer up and be fully prepared to counter these arguments in the court of law. kennedy: maybe he feels it's a political attack, and he's responding politically. aside from that and the issues of divisive politics, hannah, couldn't we deal with a bit more transparency in this country? and i ask that because if we have all the facts and we know everything that has gone on, then there are far fewer questions because it is in those vacuums where people fill them up with their own conspiracy and their own ideas, which only further divide us. you know, let us see he everythg so we can make up our minds and maybe we'll findly come to an objective truth here. >> i think that's absolutely right. i'm not team trump and don't think he's been above book and i don't think a former politician or current poll cigs is above the law. that being said, we know the fbi

and department of justice is not above book. they've been corrupt in history and gone after political opponents and often made up evidence and lied under oath to put innocent people in jail and worked to label parents as domestic terrorists in the past year and i don't trust them that much and we need to see they had evidence to obtain this warrant, that's important. when they say they don't want to put that evidence before the american people, their excuse is it would make their investigation harder. that's supposed to be the case. most of the bill of rights goes towards saying defendants should have a shot at standing up to an always overreaching, always overpowerful, and always overfunded government. i think it's really important that republicans start standing up for the rights. it's funny to me trump all the sudden sees the value in fifth amendment because he used to criticize and say only guilty people would plead the fifth and not talk. no, we need these very important civil liberties protected for any and everybody and that's something that i hope republicans take away as a larger theme from all this. kennedy: yeah, he's never really been a constitutional scholar.

but he's getting a quick tutorial now. we will see what happens here and we're going to talk about it a little bit more later in the show with andy mccarthy because he has interesting thoughts on privilege and what that means for the former president and we'll see the panel in just a little bit. all right, so what effects might the trump raid have on the november midterms and the washington post suggesting democrats already benefits and they cite a new poll from 538 showing democrat withs a 0 place 0.5over republicans in the ball. dan that millbank says there's only one reason behind the shift, trump and the conservative radio writing "their violent talk followed by threats and actual violence and attacks on the rule of law destroy the fbi and conspiracy theories the fbi planted evidence and their reckless defense of the indefenseable possibly pilfering nuclear secrets are rerunses of the

trump's president seizure presi. isn't it early to pop the electoral champagne? host of the guide benson show on fox news radio, it is guy benson. yeah, looks like democrats are going to crush so maybe that's the raid was all about, guy. maybe it was a way to not only weaken the former president, but insert him into every conversation and every headline so this bad chaptered eclipses everything else. well, outstanding dana milbank impression. i'm not getting into that particular theory this is some big plan for the democrats to turn things around in the midterm. i'll point out the democrats being roughly tied in the generic ballot is generally historically not a good position for them and usually pour tends a bad night and around this time, back in 2014 when the

republicans won, the democrats were ahead by a larger margin in the particular poll on average in the generic ballot. it's a little early for bed-wetting season, which we're seeing from a lot of the republican strategists these days. that being said, i think, kennedy, if you talk to any number of republican candidates office holders right now, they'd love very much for this election in november to be about one thing and that's joe biden. maybe relatedly as a corollary the direction of the country. biden's approval rating is hovering around or below 40, which is dreadful. historically the in party is in real trouble. at this point in the presidency and midterm election, right track, wrong track is abysmally bad. inflation at 8.5%. this should be a layup for the republicans. i still think they're heavily favored in the house, but to have all of this stuff dredged up about donald trump re-litigating hillary clinton in 2016 and russiagate and all

that, it probably fires up some republican voters at the margins for sure, but it also might have some independence saying, oh, gosh, we wanted to get beyond this. maybe i'm not so sure about which ai'm leaning in november and republicans love it to be an up or down referendum on the ruling party and the job they've done so far, which i think objectively has been very bad. kennedy: it has been bad. i don't put it past republicans to screw everything up. >> you should never put that past republicans and some things are beyond their control; right. certain things happen, there are events and politics and that's fine, but it would take a really serious confluence of events to have all this stuff swirling about the incumbent, party in power, all the numbers i ran through, and still have the out party not benefit significantly. i think the question is do we have a little bit of red wave in november or a big crashing wave? it's too s soon to tell but

there's a theory, a school of thought reasonable to discuss that if donald trump is dead center in our politics yet again, throughout the fall leading up to november, that would change the conversation in a way, even irrespective of him and take scrutiny off the democrats, who we've all watched in action here, for the last almost two years, including just today as they officially doubled the size of the irs. kennedy: you live and work around dc. what are you hearing about this forcing the former president to spring into action and declare his candidacy again? >> well, i know republicans generally and genuinely do not want that to happen before the midterm election because then we're really talking about 2024 sort of pumped up on steroids long before there's a chance to have like half a referendum on joe biden, and i know the democrats would love to make it a choice between trump and biden

again. they wouldn't necessarily win that choice outright, but they feel like they'd have more of a fighting chance and some of these swing suburban districts where the republicans should stand to gain considerably in november. kennedy: what would you rather drink: worm guts or turpentine. i hope it doesn't come to that. our country has to move past all of that because once again, guy, you are young and supple but you know that we're being tortured by an army of power hungry old people. >> yes. my suppleness is one of my most well known qualities, and i look forward to flaunting that with you in the very near future, kennedy. kennedy: and your humility. never forget it. guy benson, thank you so much. >> thank you. speak kennedy: speaking of

midterms, it is wyoming night. lisa murkowski. i'll get into it with the great bret bair. he's next.

this is xfinity rewards. our way of showing our appreciation. with rewards of all shapes and sizes. [ cheers ] are we actually going? yes!! and once in a lifetime moments. two tickets to nascar! yes! find rewards like these and so many more in the xfinity app.

kennedy: it is primary night.

wyoming and alaska is like why would i care about those states? two of former president trump's self-proclaimed enemies potentially on the chopping block. lisa murkowski is the only senator up for reelection that voted to impeach the former president and called him "the worst". and wyoming republican congresswoman liz cheyney is the vise chair of the commission and she's in deep yogurt facing trump endorsed harry haggeman and she's turning to democrats to flip parties and vote in her favor. so far, trump has a 95% success rate with over 150 races won. can that be -- oh my garden. i love numbers. does cheyney have any hope of squeaking out a win? if not, please tell me she's not going to run in 2024. come on, man. joining me is the official newsman of the kennedy program.

he is the chief anchor of the fox news channel, he also hosts special report, the one and only bret bair. welcome back. >> hey, kennedy. it's primary night. kennedy: yes, there's things about this race that i did not realize. number one, wyoming and alaska each only have one representative in congress. number two, liz cheyney, i didn't realize she was down by 20 points. number three, are there enough democrats in the state of wyoming if they all flipped, could they overcome the vote s? >> good question. first a couple of things. just a look at where we are. august has been packed. this is us right here. wyoming, alaska, next week we have new york, florida and oklahoma runoffs. but we mentioned this race in wyoming. it's going to be fascinating to see how this turns out because as you pointed out, polls going

in had income pant liz cheyney and vice president of the committee and trailing by 20, 30 points to the trump-backed harry haggeman. congresswoman cheyney has been trying to go after democrats and she had the endorsement of al franken, former democratic senator from minnesota. she had the endorsement from other people like kevin costner and others coming out and saying this is our person. here's the trouble, registered republicans in wyoming went up 19,000 in august of this year. they're at 215,000. registered democrats went down 9,000. they're at 36,000. so it's tough to imagine that she could get that many democrats to cross over and vote in this election we'll see tonight. it'll be part of this story line about house republicans who voted for impeachment and this

is where we are tonight. she's the only one we don't know the answer to ten house republicans. four who retired, you have three who lost, you have two who advanced to the general election. and one tonight. kennedy: yeah, so that's going to be very, very interesting and we will be following that race. thanks to your leadership. and i also want to talk about a.c. lot of people had no idea that sarah palin is staging a comeback there, or she's trying to, but what make it is interesting in alaska, we've talked about it a lot on my show, ranked choice voting. so alaska, they're too busy fighting grizzly bears to worry about parties so it is an open primary, the top four vote getters and you get to rank candidates and list first, second, third choice and on and that could benefit lisa murkowski. how does that fair for sarah palin? >> well, for sarah palin, she'll probably move on. she's going to, you know,

heading in, it's tough. we have zero polling in a.c. al. it's not a great polling place for us or any news organization for that matter but the very little polling we have, she's in the top. this is a special election to fill the open seat from the deceased don young who served in congress for 49 years. so she's running against some over big names including one who's familiar to alaska voters but she should move on here in the special election and that's different than what lisa murkowski is dealing with, where it's the top four and she'll definitely be in the top four. she faces a trump-backed challenger as well. what has happened with lisa murkowski in the past is that she's made it through these jungle primaries if you call it that, and then has success by the time she get tots general election. but clearly the former president is -- has been going after all

the people that voted against him in the impeachment. she voted to convict president trump on the senate floor. kennedy: she did, and we'll see how that sits with alaskaens. it is its own place. whatever you think is the political norm in other parts of the country does not apply there. it makes it mysterious and awesome. >> and great salmon. kennedy: the best in the world. i love wild alaskaen salmon. i eat it like a bald eagle with my gnarled hands. >> thank you for that . kennedy: thank you, bret. talk soon. coming up, la's bone head district attorney george gosgone will keep his job despite the massive recall effort, people in the state want him gone. the reason he's not going to be recalled is infuriating. can anything be done to stop him from ruining a once great city. ag nathan hockman joins me to discuss in a moment.

i'm amber, i've lost 128 pounds with golo, taking release. i have literally tried everything. i was on the verge of getting gastric bypass surgery, and i saw the golo commercial, and it was the last thing i tried 'cause it worked. that little leaf brought this old photo to life, i can finally put some names to those faces... it's like i'm back there at 39 elmhurst with all these folks.

ancestry can guide you to family discoveries in the 1950 census. district attorney george gascon will stay on the job. this is shocking. the petition to recall the dumb dumb da not moving forward. why? because 200,000 signatures miraculously have been ruled invalid. by whom, i wonder. this means recall will not be on november's ballot. gascon responded in a tweet, "grateful to move forward from this attempted political power grab. rest assured la county the work hasn't stopped. my primary focus has been and will always be keeping us safe and creating more equitable justice system for all. i remain strongly committed to that work and to you and to letting dangerous criminals on the street reek havoc and destroy our city and pop

everywhere, the end". he's not been keeping la safe. here with me now is republican candidate for california's attorney general, nathan hockman returns. welcome back. >> thank you very much. kennedy: this stinks to high heaven. we've seen a lot of recalls over the years in california, some successful, some not so suc successful like gavin newsom. it's interesting because they had over 100,000 more signatures than they needed, almost 200,000. yet miraculously there was a lot of scrutiny applied to the signatures that maybe should have been vol id. what's happening -- valid, what's happening here, nathan? >> so the recall movement didn't get to participate in the counting process. now that it's done, they're going to get access to those votes that have been invalidated and they can challenge is administratively and if necessary in court. it doesn't remove the fact that gascon set three records.

first, 520,000 valid signed petitions for recall were actually accepted by the recorecording and that's an alle record for a da in la. second. 37 cities passed no confidence motions against gascon. before this, there were zero. fourth, 97.8% of the deputy district attorneys that worked for g gascon, over 800 of them, voted to support the recall that is virtually unprecedented. kennedy: how does he call that a political power grab when these are the people who want to administer justice. they want to keep the city safe, they also want to keep the justice system fair. that's why they get into this line of work. they're not private defense attorneys representing millionaires. these are people, these are public servants who a vast majority of them said, we do not have faith in you. i think it comes down to gavin

newsom because he knows, he wants to run for president but if you have the two das from the two largest cities in his state who are being recalled because of their horrible policies and very imbalanced application of the law where there is that type of discretion, it makes him look like a fool. do you think newsom could have had a hand in overscrutinizing some of the i canningture -- these signatures. >> he could have had a hand but newsom's greatest nightmare is the california attorney general is like a super da in california. he has jurisdiction in over 58 counties and 58 das and he can come into gascon's county and take over prosecution where he's not following the law. if gavin newsom gets nathan hochman in november that'll be his worst nightmare because i can come into los angeles and

take over cases whether it's decisions for not going after gang members who use guns and shoot lapd officers and not having victims have das in court it during patrol hearings, i can bring the california attorney general into the da's office and do the justice for the victims that george gascon refuses to honor. kennedy: how are you polling? >> it's getting closer and closer anded in our current attorney general who has no law enforcement background compared to my 30 years of criminal justice experience, i win that race. kennedy: do you really win the race or do you like -- it would be nice if i won the race win the race? >> what happens is for the first time in a generation, safety and security is polling as a top three issue for all californians. democrats, independents, and republicans. when you couple that with the exploding violent and stream crime we've been -- street crime we've been experiencing up and

down the state, homelessness at all time high and fentanyl poisons killing more californians than covid this year, it's a woke up call for democrats and independents to look beyond the reflexive vote for democrats and look for the comparison between rob banta zero years of experience and nathan hochman, 30 years of experience. kennedy: i love terrificking gavin newsom apart and he's horrible and george gascon is awful and there has to be better leadership in the state. nathan, thank you for your time. >> thank you very much. kennedy: meanwhile, new fbi report claimed alec baldwin had to have pulled the trigger on the gun that killed the cinemaing to for on the set. he said the gunfired itself but the bborough said that's not poe and baldwin reiterated his

innocence on crisco mo's podcast. chris cuomo's podcast. >> the people talking loudest and speculating were not on the set, la times and hollywood reporter and talk on and on and on about what if this and what if that. the thing they have in common is nobody was there. kennedy: yeah, they can be outraged by a young mother who was gunned down by a very irresponsible actor and producer. does this fbi report put out baldwin in more danger of criminal prosecution. the party panel is back for more. so, the fbi occasionally can get something right, chris and they did a very thorough investigation here. they said he pulled the trigger. what does that mean for criminal liability for alec baldwin? >> well, my biggest surprise is cuomo has a show right now but my second biggest surprise is the fbi figured out if you pull a trigger on a gun it fires. alec baldwin is in the wrong

from the start. he said i don't know whose fault it is but it's not mine. for a responsible gun owner and you're holding a gun, the responsibility is always with you. when i take my gun out of the safe, i check it to make sure it's clear. i put it in a bag and keep my eyes on it before i put it away again, i check it again. even though i'm the only person that touch that had gun. he picked up a weapon and fired it and someone was shot. the fbi managed to come up with a report that says, yeah, you have to pull the trigger to fire that gun and triggers fire guns. that's a step in the right direction, but this has just been obvious and adding to his arrogance on all the sadness is awful. kennedy: his arrogance and lack of remorse. he went and spoke with george stephonoplis and said he didn't feel guilty and alec baldwin has a miraculous way of making everything about alec baldwin. >> that's the real tragedy, kennedy. helena hutchens was just 42.

in the prime of her career and she was a young mother, mother of a young son, and that's the horrifying tragedy is this happened last october. we're coming up on a year of this tragedy, and still no one has been charged. you saw multiple violations just in terms of the workplace safety on that set in new mexico. fined by new mexico -- the new mexico agency that oversees that. this was a set that seemed out of control, there's no reason why a loaded gun should have ever been hand to an actor. there's no question now with this fbi forensics report that alec baldwin did pull that trigger. and the fact again that we're coming up on a year with not any single person being charged on that set is adding to this tragedy, i think. kennedy: yeah, and people are sick of seeing selective justice but, you know, it was very interesting because when this happened, you know, there were all these cries for gun control and get guns out of movies and,

you know, guns are so dangerous and the gun did this itself. isn't that offensive on its face, hannah? >> it's so offensive and what's even more offensive is that we sent how many taxpayer dollars asking the fbi to go in and see can a gun shootist or can it not? turns out, it cannot shoot itself. somebody has to pull the trigger. it's been clear all along that somebody was alec baldwin. that's very convenient for the left narratives that gun are responsible for violence. no, people are responsible for violence and you're an actor or person in the general public with a gun, it is on you to have trigger safety, to have discipline and make sure you know what you're doing and be accountable for the lives around you. from everything i've read, this set was extremely unsafe. many people walked off the set earlier that day because it was so unsafe. he had neglected to go to training that would have given him better trigger discipline and understanding of how to handle that firearm. he neglected to do that too . he's absolutely liable in this

instance. i don't know if he should be criminally charged, that's up for criminal investigators to look into but he's been negligent and arrogant since it happened and doesn't seem remorseful at all and that's why the american people can't stand him. kennedy: he was really good in glen gary and glen ross and even working girl. but everything after that -- >> and 30 rock. kennedy: he was good in 30 rock but doesn't make any of it forgivable. party panel, thank you for being here and bringing the noise. i love our discussion. seven chris, sorry you weren't at karaoke with me and hannah at young americans for liberty. >> next time i want to come next time. kennedy: any man of mine, absolutely right. nailed it. thank you all. coming up, president trump giving yet another reason he thinks the mar-a-lago raid was unfair. some documents protected by attorney-client privilege and does the former president have a case?

andrew mccarthy in studio. he's got answers, he's next.

kennedy: always, willy, like that reefer, just always on his mind. last night's mild trump monday song the winner was joan and know who's always on former president trump's mind? merrick garland. the former president now claiming the fbi seized documents protected by attorney-client, and executive privilege and calling for them to be returned and says the fbi knowingly overstepped bounds. is he correct? joining me now is former assistant attorney and fox news contributor andy mccarthy. you have a great article on this because you really call balls and strikes. the president, former president

did have the power to declassify a lot of stuff. >> right. kennedy: maybe in his mind declassification also meant ownership. that's not necessarily the case, is it? >> nope, declassification doesn't mean open, privilege doesn't mean ownership. all kinds of things don't mean ownership and a lot of things he's talking about in that regard where he says i think i have attorney-client-executive privilege documents. in the white house those privileges meld and it's an executive matter and there may be attorney-client privilege that applies to it, but the privilege has nothing to do with the disposition of the property, of the ownership of the property. we kind of know this because last year the committee asked the archives to take what they had and trump went into court to fight that asserting privilege and the fact he didn't have the documents didn't mean he didn't have the privilege but the fact he has the privilege doesn't

mean he gets to keep the documents. the government's position is the documents are possession of the government. kennedy: when you're the president, you're not a person, you're a thing. when you're a person, you feel a sense of agency and ownership, which you don't necessarily get to enjoy while you inhabit that specific public office. so much of your life is now public property. having said that and you made a great case for this, it's, you know, it's like i bet he took stuff he shouldn't have. i don't think you can rationalize or excuse that, but i think the overreach by the fbi has been very disproportionate. where do you stand on that? >> to the extent they teed it up as being very concerned about classified information. kennedy: and national security. >> if you look at the warrant, a very short description of what they're allowed to take, they're allowed to take under that warrant every scrap of paper generated by the trump administration from the day he got inaugurated till the day

biden got inaugurated. every scrap. it's not at all confined to clays fewed information, and i think the dirty -- classified information and the dirty little secret they don't want to come out and say is the presidential records act, that changed our assumption in the '-p 0s, used to be -- '70s used to be the president's materials were president's property and that changed after nixon. when congress enact that had, there was no criminal law provisions in it. you're supposed to have a crime to get a search warrant. there's another crime they think that you would could attach to this overremoving or concealing government documents and they stitch that together and created a new crime. kennedy: that's my problem with it, we don't know the full picture yet, and that's why it's hard to really flesh this stuff out. but it looks like an investigation in search of a crime, and that's not the way the justice system is supposed to operate in this country and not in unprecedented raid on a former president. >> yeah, i think i know what crime they're searching for so, i mean, all of this is done in the context of frenetic activity

on the january 6 investigation by the justice department, and it's inconceivable to me they have all this activity around the mar-a-lago search, but the mar-a-lago search, which targets the guy who they're looking at for january 6 somehow doesn't have anything to do with januarg that. kennedy: do you think the judge will unseal the affidavit on thursday? >> no. no. kennedy: me neither. >> nope. kennedy: i wish he would. i want to see everything. >> in the middle of an investigation, they're never going to give you everything that lays out the investigation and identifies the informants. they're just not. kennedy: i'd still like to see it. they have really create add very dangerous vacuum here, and so much of this appears now to be unnecessary, and then they're floating this whole, well, there's nuclear secrets in there. they take out a warhead from melania's closet. andy mccarthy, great to talk to you. >> great to see you, dear. kennedy: and the topical storm is next. hello.

kennedy: a california mansion that once belonged to dr. seuss now on the market for $19 million. that's a bargain. in other words you would not could not buy that house. that's a home for the whos, the who's who of whoville.

topic cal storm. the russian military claims to have a robotic dog that can fire a rocket launcher. red rocket. red rocket. which is why he gets as many belly rubs as it wants. this was a combat dog unveiled at russian military convention. it's just like your dog but instead of begging for a bone, it blows up the nearest animal and takes one for itself. the russians claim this dog is combat ready capable of striking targets. mostly peeing on them. nothing new. the american military was run by dogs for years now, thanks, lloyd. some people are speculating the russians are lying after noticing similarities between this masked ro robot and chinese toy sold on alibaba which makes me wonder if they were lying when they claimed they trained to turtle to fight with swords. all adding up, china. exactly deion.

put your pants on. topic number two. now to illinois where governor jb pritzker kicked off the state fair by unveiling a giant cow sculpture made of butter. look at that. 500 pounds of hot butter, it's actually cold. it's perfectly packed into a larger than life figure. enough about governor pritzker. ayo, he's like a midwestern chris christie. the butter cow was a staple of the illinois state fair since the '20s and constructed by the state's dairy farmers as a way to celebrate their craft and cut loose. everybody cut loose and create a cow. dairy farmers like to get turnt up. in fact, some say you can smell the dairy air from miles away, especially when governor pritzker's in the building. after the fair is done, the butter will be scooped and you

happen stored in buckets to be used next year. they dot same with corn dogs, nachos and fried oreos. topic three, a florida black bear climbing over a bashed wire fence and he did it with his bare hands. here's the incredible fence climbing bear. the only creature to take more barbs on this show than jeffrey tube. different kind of bear. happened at the air force base with 60,000 acres of un-inhabitedded land home to 5,000 black bears and not one of those useless losers can operate a rocket launcher and he's on the fence about staying with the air force and show him top gun maverick now. the military says the bears are mellow and unlikely to pose a threat. then again they said the same thing about the taliban last year, bunch of jerks. topic number four: if you think scottish culture is all about bag pipes and kilts, the jokes about to be on you.
