there was an exchange between charlie kirk, or i should say, both charlie cook and kirk and jesse watters, who's a fox news host out there talking about this potential phenomenon. let's watch what each of them had to say it is the embodiment of the downfall of the american family she's coming in with her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go, you know, and have a nice life and provide for the family. >> and then she lies to him saying, oh yeah, i'm going to vote for trump. and then she votes for kamala harris as her little secret in the voting booth. >> and if i found out emma was going into the voting booth and pulling the lever for harris, that's the same thing as having an affair that violates the sanctity of our marriage yes. what else is she keeping from me, exactly? what else has she been lying about? >> why would there's a lot there? >> basically i'd love to find out what his wife actually thinks there. but this is also the kind of framing that the harris team seizes on to kind of try to say to women, these people don't take you seriously. >> ye

because elon working with howard lutnik and others are cooking up a $2 trillion spending reduction plan. charlie: great. larry: they are also cooking up ways to use federal assets that will bring in, like sale leaseback ideas that will bring in royalty fees which will bring in revenues to lower the deficit. in other words, i'm saying, lower tax rates will be accompanied by huge spending cuts. this is a different policy. charlie: although larry the discretionary spending is limited when you take out social security and defense. listen, get rid of the education department. i mean -- larry: well, wait, hold on. there's a lot of stuff coming here, and discretionary part, look. take the miss named inflation reduction act, john. first of all it's a waste of money. it's all green new deal. helps china, not the united states. will destroy uaw jobs et cetera. one of the reasons trump carried all of the blue states. now the point is, a lot of that stuff has been authorized but not spent. >> that's right. larry: take the unspent portion out. just take it and there's other, the chips act, the infrastructure

cooking? we were able to get a cart. the charlieesigned to bring cooking to students in elementary students that has enough gear on it to teach 30 students cooking. so when i saw that, i thought bingo, that's what we're missing. you can do cooking classes in the library, but without a kitchen, it's difficult. to have everything contained on wheels, that's it. i do cooking demonstrations out at the market every third wednesday. i feature a seafood, vegetable, and i show people how to cook the vegetable. >> a lot of our residents live in s.r.o.s, single resident occupancies, and they don't have access to full kitchens. you know, a lot of them just have a hot plate, a microwave, and the thing that biblio bistro does really well is cook food accessible in season and make it available that day. >> we handout brochures with the featured recipe on the back. this recipe features mushrooms, and this brochure will bring our public back to the library. >> libraries are about a good time. >> i hired a former chef. she's the tickle queen at the

charlie, does she have a future? yeah. no. on the national political scene, she's cooked. she's finished. she'll never come back.she can waste her time and waste people's money by trying. but she's. she's finished. you know, whether or not she could do it in california? i don't know, but the problem is, every time she runs the more people learn about her, the more people don't like her. and i think that would apply if she runs in california. but it's definitely true. if she ever tries to run nationally again. all right, charlie, thank you. governor. hopefully, ambassador, really soon. huckabee. thank you. when we come back, trump derangement syndrome. it now has gotten worse ahead of the president elect. second term. plus, donald trump's signature dance is still popular in the nfl. sage steele, straight ahead. hey, folks, it's your friend john rich. i co-founded old glory bank because we heard too many stories about people getting canceled by their bank because they didn't agree with their politics. the government wanted to know where you shopped. if you bought a bible or you shopped at a sporting goods store, y
