Standing Your Ground with Dean Cain

into the important stuff. We'll still get into some of the political things going on in the country, but I also just want to talk to a friend who you guys know at home, who has been a friend of mine who have gotten to know through my work at Fox, the actor Dean Kane. He's an awesome guy, a really really nice guy, smart guy. So we're gonna talk to him about his life. He's an incredibly successful actor. He's been in you know, billion movies, a ton of TV shows.

He's best known for his work as Superman, but he's done so much more than that, and he also has a really interesting life. He played football before, he had a brief stint in the NFL, so we're gonna talk about that. He also went to high school with Charlie Sheen and Rob Low, so we're gonna talk about his life, and you know, get into some of the political stuff as well, but you know, just have a little laugh, talk to a friend, and I hope you guys enjoy

this conversation with my friend Dean Kane. So, first of all, Dean Kine, it's nice to have you on the show, my friend. I haven't talked to you in a while. I know, well, I you're in You're in Florida, and I'm in California, and both of us are avoiding New York. So, uh, I don't see you much at out in New York these days because I'm not there very often. And uh, I actually spend more time in Florida, so I probably could have run into you there. Geez. Yeah, let me

know next time you're down. I just spent six days in New York and it honestly feels like they just let out in a sane asylum. You have like all of these crazy people walking around. It's it's it's insane. I have no desire to be there right now, and I have a lot of friends who were there, but I just, holy smokes, it's just it's it's insanity. What's California like right now? You know, California it's it's such a huge state. So, I mean, I live in Malibu.

Malib was great. There's been a couple of uh, um, it's sort of like a you know, uh flash mob kind of robberies that have taken place. Apparently I heard this. I didn't. I didn't know anything about it, but I heard this from my sister and some other folks here. So there's been a couple of instances like that that have taken place. Um, but you hear about it all the time in Los Angeles itself, all kinds of crazy

stuff going on. You know, I'm a I'm a I'm a sworn sheriff's deputy and a reserve police officer, and I I can't, for the life of me understand how these things are allowed to happen, continually happening and and not being prosecuted by by you know, people like George Gascon here in Los Angeles. It's just insane. Well, and you were sworn in as a reserve officer, as you just mentioned, uh in two thousand and eighteen. What what

spurred that decision to to do that? Well, they have been this huge sort of First of all, I have great respect for the military law enforcement and first responders always have. Um. My grandfather was was in the commander of the Navy. My uncle was lieutenant colonel in the Air Force. He flew at fifteens um. And and then I just had a lot of great friends. Who are you know, Navy seals and and special forces guys, and

I I just have such respect for them. Um. And then the sort of the rhetoric had gone into this weird place of being anti police and uh, you know, occasionally there's a bad apple here or there, they should be removed from the force. I'm with that. We all know some police officers. You're like, that guy shouldn't be or that girl shouldn't have a badge and a gun. Um.

But but by and large they're fantastic people. In the way they're being vilified, I figured, you know what, instead of just talking about my support for them, I'm gonna I'm gonna show up and I'm gonna put on the badge and and the gun and and and stand there with my you know, brothers and sisters in blue. And I've been doing it for six years now. You know what,

It's been great fun. Um, it's been wonderful to to to see what kind of people you know who are police officers, and they're all people, I mean, to a person that I know within my two departments, they're fantastic people. Um, and your your everyday fantastic folks who who are who are trained to be in these horrible situations and have to react. A couple of my good friends and fellow officers up in Idaho got shot you know last year, Um, um, and they they both survived and and uh, they're they're

doing great. But one of them was you know, worked with me on the on the on the range and was our range officer, and um, he was a great shot too. It's a good thing. Probably saved his life. Um, but you know, he got shot in the face and he didn't even look any worse for it though he's

he's still handsome, so but he's fully recovered. But I mean, there's the kind of people that are just your friends and they're regular everyday folks who are putting these situations where they have to react right now or or they or they die or someone else dies. So it's they're just they're just great people. Well, it's the thing I think everyone you know, everyone watches these videos and stuff unfold and they're like, oh, why didn't they just do?

But like when you're in that situation, I mean you maybe you've been in this situation, but I've not. And you know this sort of like split second decision. How do you save your life? How do you save you know? I mean, like you don't have that kind of time to be sort of thinking through these scenarios. It's like you've just gotta you know what I mean, It's it's crazy. You go right to your training, and your training is

always shoot center mass and shoot to stop the threat. Um. It's not shoot to kill, it's shoot to stop the threat. When they stop the threat, they're not shooting anymore. Um. But you know, you you have to react in a in a split second. I mean even President Biden was like shoot them in the leg. You know how difficult. You know. Also, there's a thing of the fhemeral artery. If you shoot that, they're gonna die anyway. Um. You know, you shoot somebody hits a bone, it's gonna break the bone.

I mean, there's awful things that happened with gunshots and and awful, but you know we're taught and trained to shoot center mass to stop the threat. That's how it works because it's it's hard anybody who doesn't shoot you try to hit a moving target. You know, it's very difficult to do. Most I think most gunfights are like within like four ft and everything is the shots or mrs.

You know, it says some kind of crazy statistic like that because you know, everybody's trying to get out of the way and it's hard to hit him moving target. People don't believe me. Get out on the range and and take a shot, take a few shots, and see see what you do. Well. Now, so you know, Joe Biden's never shot a gun because I I I'm like new to this, right, So I'm getting a gun for the first time. I've been I've taken my concealed carry

class I have. I've been training with an instructor because I feel like it's a big responsibility, you know, and I want to know what I'm doing before I bring a gun home and have it in my home and and have that kind of responsibility. So like that's like the first thing, one of the first things you're taught is you shoot center mass. And so it's very clear, like clearly he's never had held a gun. Right, Like

he has no idea what he's talking about. Like I know, I know this, and I'm not even trained like you you know, like I've I've taken a handful of classes at at best, you know, right, But I mean, like he says things so inane, like you know, he told I told Jill, you know, just you hears something going on in the backyard, go out there with a double barrel shotgun and fire off a couple of rounds. And

you know, I'm like, literally that's illegal. Hey, you're out of you have no more shells in your double barrel shotgun and you gotta reload. And what are you shooting at? You know, you you have to see your target before you shoot, and also what's beyond your target? I mean, there's so many things. I was like, what you can't there's a hysterical um that little that news that that video where Darren Chris sings the you know by a shotgun. It's it's a hysterical and people haven't seen it. Look

it up. It is so funny. But it's clear that he has no business. Um, he doesn't understand guns or gun laws or anything, so he really has no business talking about him. It drives me bananas. But it's that kind of the problem with all these guys. You've got all these politicians who are writing policies, who are you know, coming up with legislation that either they're completely unfamiliar with, you know, or or that just doesn't impact them in

any way whatsoever a hundred percent. And that's what makes me crazy when I see people talking about you see Thomas Massey, you know, and they're talking talking about laughing at one of some of these things people are talking about, you know, um about you know, a bump stock or whatever. Bump stock by the way, anybody who knows anything bump stock is the most ridiculous. It's just stupid. And so how that became political bump stock? Anybody's uosing a bump stock.

You can't hit hit it can't hit anything, first of all, because you don't want to shoot automatically, you know, you don't want to go fully auto any anyways. But I don't want to get into this specificity of that, but it's clear they don't know what they're talking about, and it's it's it's ridiculous, you know, go full semi auto. Well, full semi auto doesn't exist. You're, oh, every gun is

semi automatic. Um, but it's clear that they don't know what they're talking about when they're doing talking about these things and making policy and law and that that is it's insanity, it's it should never be happening. Well, I think it's probably why everything's, you know, such a mess. Among you know, a list of other things, quick break

more with Dean Kine. You know what I was thinking about the other day, Uh, and before you know, knowing that I was going to interview at you today and then also had this like ran into my head the other day about the New Year's Eve special. Oh yeah, we did. How much fun was that? I had the best time. I had an absolute blast. It was it was dang cold, but it was so cold. I think it was the coldest on record for New Year's Eve in in in Central Park and we were not far

from there, So yeah, that was. I had a blast though. That was that was great fun. And uh, heck I do that again. And we were troopers too. We didn't complain. We kept it fun. I remember I texted my parents. I think ed Henry complained a little. I think he was, you know, he was he was crying a little bit. He was we we we were cool. We didn't. I texted my parents afterwards, and I think I could not

hit the right buttons on my phone. I think my fingers I'm not even kidding, you know, Like it was like I was communicating, I was trying to like hit the right buttons, and my fingers were just so cold. I could not. It was like it was like I didn't I had no control over them. It was the most bizarre thing. That's how my tongue was starting to get I was starting to freeze, and so my lips are starting to freeze, and I'll started starting to mispronounced words,

just the same as my same as the texting. I was a little bit. It was it was freaking cold, and I couldn't believe how many people were out there still in that weather. Incredible. You know. I was thinking, I told a friend this. I don't know why this I could popp to my but remember when we interviewed the naked cowboy. Yeah, so I had asked him. I was like, oh, like, what does your mom think of this?

And he was like she's dead and I was like, oh god, just that, yeah, like Nearsy's supposed to be fun, and I was like, I just killed like you can't. There's no way you can know that. There's no way. And it's a fair question because I would have wanted to him, and I can't console him because the dude's naked, Like you know, I'm like, I'm not going to give that this guy hug. So I was just like, I know, I just made this so awkward and it's supposed to be fun. It's like, I don't know what to do

with this guy. I'm so sorry. TV. That is the fun of live TV. That's hysterical. I know. I was like this, I don't know why this just popped in my head. The other day, I was talking to a friend about something and it just like I kind of giggled myself because I like, you know, just popped in my head, and I was like, I felt so bad. I didn't know what to do. I'm not gonna lie. I often think about the naked cowboy myself. Yes, that's

it's wrong. That is exactly if so. I was thinking about him, so the one who got away, you know, like, uh, you know, so I was looking at you know, because obviously I know you, but I didn't know, so I knew you played football at Princeton, but I didn't realize that you brew briefly in the NFL for the Buffalo Bills, but then you hurt yournee. Did you ever? Like, what do you think do you think you would have gotten into acting if the NFL thing had worked out? Yeah?

I think I would have eventually got into acting, but it would have been, you know, after after football was over. I think that for sure would have happened, only because I grew up in it. I grew up around it. I grew up you know, my dad's a director. I grew up with Roblow, Charlie Sheen, Amelia Estevez, Holly Robinson, all these sorts of people who Sean Penn, Chris Penn, all these guys who became actors, guys and girls who got into that world because our parents were involved in

that industry. And um, I also just noticed what my friends were doing, Like at Princeton, they'd go and work on Wall Street for internships in the summertime, and uh, I would go on my dad's sets, and I was like, I gotta be honest, these sets are a hell of a lot more fun than than eighty hours in a in a suit in New York City in the UH in the dead of summer. No way, So, um, I said, you know, that's that's. I liked the idea of having project by project, you know, life's as I preferred doing

my like independent work at Princeton. I liked writing my big papers and doing things like that more than going to class every day. So it really was more in the world that I wanted to be. Um the creative world as well. So I knew by the time I was a junior that there's no way I was gonna be an investment banker on Wall Street and I was gonna work in the film industry in some which some way shape its form. My idea was to start as

a writer, and I did start as a writer. Um, but what my idea was that would be working on my writing at night and then playing football during the day. And you know that was keep my mind working and as I was bashing my head against other people's heads. Yeah, sounds a little contradictory. I want that's my life. That is absolutely my life. So that's that's that's what I thought i'd be doing. And and I'm and I've been blessed, so blessed and lucky to be able to be doing

that for so many years. I don't want to say how many, but it's been a long time. And I thowt you went to high school with Charlie Chen and Rob blow elementary school? Oh really, I mean I played, you know, Charlie and I were in baseball teams forever together. Um, you know, all over the place. I mean Rob didn't really participate in sports. He wasn't a sportster. The girls love Rob like he didn't want to hurt the faith.

He didn't want to hurt face, not the faith. Uh you know, you know he liked his his his brother Chad is a it was a better athlete than than Rob. But you know, it was such a small little area growing up that we all knew each other so well. So, I mean Maliwood now only has like thirteen thousand people in it. People don't realize that there's not a whole lot of folks out here. Do you want to stay in touch? Oh yeah, it's family. If I see any

of them, it's it's family right away. Even though you know, look, some guys have made some poor choices and done some weird things, and um, but they're still family, like Sean Penn and I like our parents are best friends. I see Sean, it's his family. I couldn't disagree with him more politically on most everything. Um but I still love the guy. Do you learn who your friends are in Hollywood when you come out and support a President Trump. I realized that people have this. President Trump broke a

lot of people. They have such as some people just have such a clear total dislike for him that they are blinded to anything else. They can't talk policy, they can't do anything. Um but I'd love to get him involved in a conversation. Let's have this, Let's have a discussion. What don't you like? I can't stand him. He's still rude, blah blah blah. What about his policies? Well what did I get? Nothing? So that's what I get into. It was like, look, you don't have to like the guy.

I don't. That's up to you. Some people don't like me, maybe I don't like you. But policy is what what matters to you, know when a politician steps out there, and the policies that President Trump had in place where a thousand times better, uh than the policies that this current administration has and they want to, I want to discuss policy. They don't really. Hollywood also is as a as a land of cowards. They would never say, um, you know, I I disagree with this, blah blah blah blah.

They don't really say that. They they they would. They kind of smile to your face and then stab you in the back as you walk away. Well did you see that? Uh this Sydney Sweeney. Uh, she's in Euphoria, the show you I've never watched it, but it's you know, popular. But apparently now she's like maybe getting canceled because she

threw apart. Did you see this? Like through a party for her mom and apparently people were wearing like make sixty Great Again hats and then there was some guy in a you know, a pro you know, please something like that. And then now she's there's like I'm even like looking at the news articles right now. It's insane. It's absolute madness. God bless her and her family. Happy

birthday to her mom. And I, you know me, I don't just again, the idea that you know, somebody wears a back the blue shirt and that's offensive is totally insane. I and I go so far as to strap on a badge and a gun. So I go the exact opposite. I mean, I go full blue. So I think that's just madness. And and look, city Sweeney's four years old. She's drop dead gorgeous. Um, and she's on a show. I haven't watched it either because I don't watch many shows.

But bless her, and she'll hopefully just give him all the finger and and and carry on with what she's doing. I haven't seen this stuff. I should look it up. But the idea of canceling someone because they support law enforcement, or because they support President Trump, or even even that that that shout out to President Trump, or even you know, I mean somebody else, who is it? It's it's a Nick Cercy, a buddy of mine, real good buddy of mine.

And um, an outspoken conservative is hysterical. I think, what do you have had? Make make Americans smart again? I think that's what that was. Um. But listen, I have listen. I I've met with President Trump in the Oval Office. I've got one of his forty five hats. That thing is awesome. I love it, um, and I think it says make American great again. UM, I don't wear it out. There, Um, just because I don't like to wear red hats, but just because I wear a black hats, that's what I

like to wear. Um. Red's not your color, then is that your it's It has nothing to do with the implication. But red is not my color. Um. Orange. I'd wear orange only because orange and black with the Princeton Tigers and I can do that. Um. But but that's about it. Um. And I wear purple sometimes now because my son goes to the school high Point University and their purple. Um, but not Red's not my color. But it has nothing to do with the the idea that it's a that

make American grade again. Had and Sydney Sweeney, good for her. Stand strong, um and just don't listen to all that stupid noise. Continue just being an actor and do your finger. And also, I don't think these people understand if you just ignore it, it's gonna go away. Yeah, and they'll go find another target. It's when they keep apologizing and you know they've been, they've been the knee. That's when

you get canceled. If you're just like, yeah, you know, whatever was my mom's birthday, I move on, then people will move on. Yep, she should they will. I did notice that, um, because I I was targeted with a lot of stuff early on. And you know you can't. I'll never apologize for for something unless I've you know, made a legitimate mistake, you know, Um, But then I would tell I mean I was wrong about that. This is how it should be. But bowing, bending the knee

and bowing to the mob is an absolute uh. It's it's a disaster for anybody. And I've seen it happen to people who I respect too, And I'm like, oh man, why did you do that? You know, it doesn't It doesn't feel any better now, does it. And now, um, you're you're getting hit from both sides. So it's just screw that holds wrong with your beliefs. Let it go and move on. You're right, this is this thing about her will probably go away and within two weeks. Why

do you think so many people bend the knee? I think they just want to be accepted, you know, they don't want to have that cancel culture mob like staring at them, yelling at them. You feel attacked and you just want to go look, no, no, everything's cool, We're I'm okay. You know, don't don't turn on me. I was just saying this, and I think they're just scared.

I think they're just scared, you know, in this this world where if you say one wrong thing or do one wrong I mean even in the NFL, if you just have an accusation without anything anything, um, without being charged with a crime. If you have an accusation, now it's enough to get people, you know, tossed off the teams and things like that, which I think is insane.

It's it's so I think people just don't want to get canceled, and they're scared, so they just try and no, no, no, I I'm a supporter of this or that or whatever, um, And it's crazy. You can't it. It doesn't work. It just doesn't work. Never bow to the outrage mob. Quick commercial breakback with Dean Kine on the other side, you had mentioned your son. I you guys have a really special bond. I've seen you guys together. There's clearly you know,

so much love there. How how hard was it? How hard has it been to to be a single father? So he is my favorite person on the planet. I love that kid so much. He is so cool, so different than me too, that which is so funny. You know a lot of people I got you want your debt, your son to be a little mini many You're like, my son is not. He is his own person. But UM,

I raised him. UM. I thought a nasty custody battle when he was born, when he was eighteen months old, actually um, and it went on for fourteen months, cost me millions of dollars. Was awful, ugly UM. And then I ended up with full custody of him when he was nine, but fully legally when he was eleven or twelve. UM. I changed everything that I did. It was no longer my My career wasn't what was the focus of my life.

My son was and the career took second place. So I turned down being what it would have been possibly the highest paid actor in television. UM. For sure. That end up going six years. I wasn't in l A And that was the reason I had to turn it down because I was trying to I was in the middle of fighting for joint custody and my son and I would have to find a move a a case. And I put my attorney said you probably I can't

say you're gonna win this. Um. I said, so I can choose, but for I can choose between being a father or having this career and make all this money here, and he was like yeah, I said, okay, I choose dad. I choose being a father because because my um, I was adopted. My dad adopted me when I was four, and I look at all the times in my life where I needed him, and man, they were a lot, um and so I was never gonna have been in my son in any way, shape or for him like that.

So I didn't. And it was just it was tough to balance being a dad and still making movies. So I started making a lot of Hallmark movies, a lot of kids movies and things like that where I could bring him on set with me and have him around and and he'd see what we're shooting and it's okay, I'm not shooting everybody and blowing everything up or you know,

those kinds of films. And I made. I still made those kinds of films, some of them here and there, but um, I started making a change what I was, what I was doing in front of the camera so my son could be there. Um. Now he's twenty two years old, he's a senior at High Point University in North Carolina. He is doing so well. Um he's happy as can be, and um, it just it makes my heart explode out of my chest. I don't know. There's something about it. My my, my, not my attorney, my

um accounting. My business manager told me way back in the day he has several kids. He's like, Dean, you need to have more kids, because when you only have one like this, you love him so much that if anything goes wrong, it destroys you. You gotta have enough where you you know you can, you can spread it out a little bit. I did not take that advice, uh to heart, and so I only have the one boy. I have some god kids and others that I really care for and take care of. But there's nothing like

love I have for my son. I've never experienced anything like it. It's the greatest thing ever. Well, I've seen you guys together, and I've met him. He's awesome. So you've done a You've done a good job as a dad. Yeah, my mom says that you're you're only as happy as your least happy. Yes, and it's true. Your mom is correct. She also told me I was more difficult to raise than all three boys combined. Also, I totally believe that, not from you specifically, but but I have noticed this.

My my sister is raising a daughter. It's a lot more complicated. We're pretty simple. Men were pretty simple. We actually belong in at least a full grade below um, the same age girls that were. I noticed that too, like, like, we should be a grade below because we're just not as smart. Well, you know, we have a lot of emotions, particularly when we're younger. And then I was very I was very stubborn and independent. If you if you can imagine, so I can imagine. I do my best to take

care of them. Now I feel like I like owe them. It's like huge debt from what I put them through. I'm like, what do you guys need and how can I help? You know, Like, okay, help, I understand why. I realized what my difficulty. Uh here it's my I'm paying my debts. You know. You know, so you'd played Peter Struck in the play FBI Love Birds. Uh what do you Why do you think the FBI rated President Trump? I think, I you know, hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but I think it all goes I have never seen

government persecution of an individual. It's political. It's disgusting. They're all political attacks. The entire time he was in office. It was the same thing. Both impeachments were jokes. I mean, ridiculous situations. And I've never seen anybody uh so maligned as President Trump. I think he was about January six. I think they were trying to get more information and they're trying to keep him from running in Um. It's disgusting to me. We're not you know, this isn't some

banana republic here. You know that he has did his total persecution of a political rival, and it's disgusting. It is kind of scary though. Matt Walsh tweeted this out today actually in response to the Sydney Sweeney stuff, and he said, we're like a month away from the Salem witch trials. But it does feel like I mean, it does kind of feel like that a little bit. It is a little bit scary in the direction that this is all heading and and just the virtual like rhetoric

and actions towards people like us who supported President Trump. Yeah, it's it's it's insane, um and it it is I think it's been being cultivated at the you know, educational level, um for a long time and been sort of been putting putting these these ideas in people's minds. Um, it's crazy. It's like they haven't studied history. We have plenty of examples and stuff like this happening in the past and in other countries, even in this country. I mean even

in this country, we've seeing stuff like that before. Even you know, the all of the blacklisting stuff that went in Hollywood. Um, which which is which is still you know quietly happening here. Uh it's like shadow banning, you know that sort of stuff. It's it's it's insanity. Um, it's wrong. And and hopefully this pendulum will swim swing back um where people will be able to spects people

with other opinions. They are all the people going, oh, it's all about diversity, uh an inclusion, except for diversity of opinion. If you've got the wrong opinion, Oh you're out, You're gone. So it's their complete complete um, Um, what's the word? It start to the nature hypocrites there it is. Uh, they're complete and total hypocrites. And they talk about that stuff and it's always I get more hate and victory often than people who have like love and and acceptance

and resist and stuff in there. Bio love everyone you know, la la, everybody should be included. Oh you, I hate you. I hope you know you're like wh whoa, whoa? What happened to the love and the diversity and acceptance? It's just gone now because I don't agree with you. Politically interesting,

it's insanity. Although I think Republicans have sort of wisened up because it's like they always try it or they're like, oh, you say you're a Christian like this that, and and I'm like, you know what, I don't need lecturers from people who like support transitioning children and like murdering babies, so you know what I mean, Like, I really don't need a lecture from you. So, but you're gonna get it.

You're gonna get it. I don't know if people actually approach you and have those conversations, because they don't ever with me. Almost never, it's just Twitter. It's Twitter, Twitter, for sure. Everyone's brave on Twitter. I have to log off sometimes because people it just gets exhausting sometimes being on there with all this stuff. It really it really does well. And we've done internment camps before as a country as well. So I mean it's like I do

worry a little bit about my family was interred. Oh I didn't know that, but I didn't really it seems enough. Yeah, my family, my my my, my father, my grandfather, my whole family. They were interred my Japanese side during World War two and min Minnedoka over there in Idaho, about forty minutes from where I serve as an officer. I haven't been there, but I'm I just recently found this stuff out because I don't know that side of the family very well because I never knew that my biological father,

never knew him. So but um, you know, with all this information that's out there in these twenty three and me and ancestry dot Com, I'm I'm finding stuff out. It's actually fascinating. But yeah, they were insurd. It just seems like we're heading towards it. Just with the left, the ends justify the means, and I really honestly think we're getting to a place where, uh, you know, they'd be willing to do anything one to stop Trump and then two to retain power, and then that creates obviously

a really dangerous scenario in the country. It absolutely does, and I pray we don't get there. I think we cooler heads will prevail. I'm also the ultimate optimist, so I feel I can and will hopefully be a big red wave in November. We'll get some things back on track. And uh, you know, there's a lot of people out there. We're fighting sort of the good fight, whether it's the Daily Wire and those folks, or the Babylon b or people like that that are sort of keeping U besides

sort of balanced. Uh. And I like that, and I hope that continues, and I hope that that's why there's like, you know, there's a reason Fox News has been number one for thirty years, you know what I mean, Um, there are people who are paying attention to that and and and MSNBC and CNN or you know, CNN went far left and then they lost all their audience. That stuff that speaks volumes. I feel like I'm definitely more of like a realist. Like people are ago, it's half four, Oh,

it's half empty. I'm like, no, it's just how you know, it's just right there, it's right in the middle, right there. You know. I do want to be an optimist though. I believe in the United States and I believe in UM that people will will will come to their senses. Um, you know, things like defund the police won't be won't be something that people are are chanting. The stupidity of it all. I mean, I said these things back when it first came out, cash less bail. I'm like, what

did you go wrong? I mean I remember being on and hosting Fox and Friends and having you know, I remember having Nicole Mallia talkas before she was elected to Congress talk she was running, and remember having a conversation, how insane is this? And then now we see the results of it. It's it's craziness that has been going on, and those progressive policies don't work. They just don't period. And then they're like, we don't know why this is happening,

and it's like, well, it's it's pretty odd. It's because you're just letting it's a revolving door of crime. You're letting these people out on the streets, and that's why it's happening. It's really not that difficult. It's very much common sense, extreme common sense. And the four police officers are doing their job. But the prosecutors won't won't prosecute them or keep you know, people have like, you know,

nine team counts on their rap sheet. You know, you're like, we'll come on, and it's you can't keep just letting them out. What's gonna happen is there's gonna be there's gonna be pushed back, and people are gonna take that the law into their own hands. It's gonna get ugly and people someone's gonna go and try to do one of those you know, smash and grabs. Someone's gonna get shot or a bunch of people are gonna get shot.

It's gonna get awful um and and I hope, I hope it doesn't, but I fear that's where it's going because people won't put up with it. They just won't. And it's like the same thing with Illegal Immigree show. And you've got all these people like mayor atoms and they were like, oh, diversities are strong, let let the

let them all in. And then the second people start showing up in New York City and d C, they're like, oh, this is too much, this is so cruel, like we can't afford it, or this is overwhelming or infrastructure or healthcare, you know, and it's like, well, this is what we've been saying, screen natural conclusion of your policies. I mean, the idea of what's happening in the border. It literally stunts. It's stunning, like that is such a congress so abdicating

their job that literally is their job. And the fact that you know, try and go into any other country. I've had a home and stains for twenty years, which I've often said to you, you can go stay at any time you want. You. By the way, I didn't take you up on that. You should it's lovely, um, but I mean you you you have to when you go in these other countries, you have to follow their laws. You have to follow their rules. You can't just cruise

in and and do that sort of stuff. I mean, like, it's it's crazy what we're allowing to happen on our southern border. It is not in any way, shape or form um being being fair to the people are that are coming through. And then even the steps are taking to go through with the cartels and all of the horrific freaking um fent and all and stuff that's coming through. I mean, he's been seeing what's going on there. Uh,

and they're pretending like it doesn't exist. This administration has like we tried to redefine so many The border is closed. No it's not. It's not even close to close. They say enough times they think that you you're gonna believe it. Um, you know, and this inflation is transitory, No it's not. You know, there's a zero percent zero that's how much inflation happened, this monthing. Yeah, because it's already at nine. But it just stayed the same. It just didn't grow.

I mean, they just are redefining things and the idea that people are going to just buy it, and people are for some reason, I mean I think people are waking up to it. But um, a lot of people are just buying what they're selling. And it's ridiculous. It reminds me of the old regimes back in the day. Um old you know, autocratic receimes down in you know, Latin America. It's it's craziness. Well, Jesse Kelly has this

great theory, it's the sky is Green theory. And he says that if I am not going to do it justice, but basically, if Joe Biden went out tomorrow and said the sky is green. You would have everyone in the press saying the sky is green. You would start seeing academic papers about how this guy is green. You would have a Lebron James would come out and say, hey,

the sky is green by my favorite nikes. And then like Hollywood would start having you know, the sky is green and the backdrop of movies, and then by the end of it, and you know, half of the country would say this guy is green even though it's clearly not and you could look up and see that it's blue. What do you think is going to happen this November?

I pray that it's going to be a big giant red wave UM and we'll have some balance restored to this our politicians, our political machine, UH, Congress and Senate. I'd love to see Congress and Senate turn red UM and to basically just UM and voters to say it's a full rejection of this current regime's UM administration's policies. I would love to see that happen. What are my things gonna happen? I don't know, because I don't want to.

You know, like it's before I play a football game and I can say we're gonna win by twenty points. But um, I'd like to win. I'd like I'd like I'd like for common sense to win. I'd like to to see a bunch of people, um Republicans get elected and restore balanced to this to this administration, because right now it's completely out of control. They got a problem.

They got a spending problem, for sure. The idea of hiring eighties seven thousand new I R S Agents, I mean, it's it feels like government against the people, and it's just very odd. It does feel like that, uh, you know it. And and then just to complete disconnect to as I mentioned earlier about their policy, they're just completely insulated from these policies that are just destroying the lives

of so many Americans. It's it's sad to see, well, of course, because they're they go in and there worth three thousand dollars when they go on, and then five years later there were, you know, thirty million. How's that happen? That's what I was saying about Trump the other day on like Fox, I was like, whatever you think of the guy, Like he's one of the you politicians that had something to lose when he went into politics. Everyone else, as you just mentioned, they go into it to get rich, right,

like Joe Biden. In what world would Joe Biden be worth eight million dollars in the private sector? Like the guy is an idiot none, you know, like in what world is Yeah, he's never worked in the private exactly because he's an idiot, so he stays in government. But anyhow, but yeah, we need to catch up soon in person. I you know, I always enjoy seeing you. You're an

awesome guy. Anything else you want to leave us with the in before we go, well, just the thought that again I'm an optimist, and I hope that things will flip back around and start making making more sense again. And um and and I'd love to see you know, I'd love to see America thriving um and coming together as opposed to what I think has been happening um the last few years, which is where you know, everybody's

trying to divide everyone and so on and so forth. Um. I just I wouldn't leave people with the thought and the hope that that things will become more um unified moving forward and hopefully it'll happen start happening in November. But I promise you. Either way, I'm gonna be a full optimist and working my tail off and having a great time. It doesn't matter. I'm gonna I'll succeed regardless. I appreciate that Deankay. Nice to catch up with you,

my friend, next time in person. I appreciate you coming on the show, Happy to anytime. That was fun.
