Transcripts For FOXNEWSW The 20240703

Hello everyone. I am doctor Nicole Safire along with jason, megan and joey jones welcome to the Big Weekend Show. Elon musk versus a San Francisco socialist. Musk is throwing some bigtime jabs at a supervisor for wanting to prevent Armed Security guards from doing their jobs. The Tech Mogul Posting On X dean preston should go to prison. Preston introduced to prevent them from pulling out their guns to protect property. A board of Supervisors Committee just past the plan last week. Is this the right move for the city currently being overrun by criminals . Preston says i believe strongly that nobody should ever have to die just because they are suspected of stealing property. Now that elon musk is taking him on and calling him to be sent to prison over it, he is not happy. He said a Billionaire Calling for dramatically elected a democratically elected official to be sent to prison for no reason is textbook fascism. Jason, you know, i thought it was an interesting choice of wording for that post about calling elon musk a fascist when supporting the right to defend oneself in defense one property, that is actually fundamentally american through the constitution, through the castle laws and doctrines. What do you take of musks post . Hyperbole . What do you think . A little over the top. People dont go to the jail just because they introduce a piece of legislation that they dont like. I can understand the frustration because nobody seems to be fighting back. Here you have an Armed Security guard who feels like their life is threatened, the person allegedly, the allegation said to the Security Guard, i am going to stab you in that person ends up getting shot and killed. The District Attorney will not charge that person. If you commit these types of crimes, people at the right to protect themselves and the property. So there has got to be some pushback. First of all, there needs to be more of a Police Presence in more of a prosecution of criminals that commit these crimes. They just seem to say like dean preston, the board of supervisors, he has a guy he was just letting this happen and encouraging these types of things to go on with no consequence. That is why so many lawabiding people are frustrated. Jason is mentioning a 24 yearold, he was suspected to be shoplifting and did an altercation. It sounds like he threatened he would stab the Security Guard, the Security Guard shot and killed him. Preston is saying the answer to this is disarming private Security Guards. When you talk about unArmed Security guards and has increased 350 from 2007. 110 died last year and punishments for unArmed Security guards being killed is significantly less than a policeman being killed. Now, we saw what happened, when you take a couple of bad apples when it comes to policeman and you have the whole d from the Police Movements because of a few bad actors, we saw the consequences from that. The answer cannot be to disarm the protectors because we know the offenders will be armed. They will not disarm Security Guards. Let me tell you why. More Security Guards and they are Police Officers. Who has Armed Security guards . Not just the walgreens. Celebrities and tech ceos in nancy pelosi and everyone else in that city has an Armed Security guard because they know the police cannot protect them. They will not disarm Security Guards. What they are saying is, the regulation, it allows for Security Guards to use a weapon in defense of stolen property, the police and state law dont have as easily, they are little bit more stringent. Which they should be. They are acting as a state. We should have more protection from the state than each other in a way. Police have other tools, other techniques, other opportunities. They are being called in response to something. Protecting yourself at the last opportunity. Im not saying a secure Security Guard is able to shoot somebody easier, but using the Second Amendment or and armed way of defending yourself and someones attacking you, if youre not trained like a Police Officer, you will not be asked to do the things like using up taser. Comparing what a Police Officer can use deadly force for it is kind of apples and oranges the whole thing seems a bit muddy. When you just look at california in general, it is dwindling. The first time in decades since 2020 your population leaving california. Your business is leaving at alarming rates. This is not just antidotal delay businesses are leaving more than they ever have before. About 300 businesses have left. A lot of this is largely due to the lack of Law And Order, the rising crime and the taxes. Elon musk posted on x, you know, he is blaming dean preston and some of the other democratic politicians. Dean Preston Needs to be fired. The person most responsible for the destruction of San Francisco when he is talking about preston s policies, also at the zero bail policies, it is like they are intentionally trying to get people to leave california. Dont they know these policies dont work . These are liberal governors, liberal lawmakers, liberal mayors, liberal District Attorneys and this is throughout california, this is new york and chicago and philadelphia. They treat criminals like victims and they treat lawabiding residents and citizens like garbage. I will point to dean preston. He posted, went on social media, to urge San Francisco to launch a campaign to tell visitors, not to leave things in their cars because they may get broken into what does that tell you . If you are asking for it. You are asking to be robbed if anything is in your automobile. That is in essence, he equated it with the buckle up campaign to restrain, to encourage people to use seatbelts. No, it is not the same thing. It is not even, i want to step back because i followed this young woman on twitter. Her name is mandy and she lived in the tenderloin. She posted a video some time ago of a fire, a Homeless Encampment caught on fire. Her building almost caught on fire. She was very vocal. There is no one in this city who is protecting people that have to live in go to work here. She has since left. When elon musk said dean preston should go to prison, she said you can say that again. So, dean preston can lose his mind over elon musk and tried to make the problem about him. It is not. It is problems that these left wing lawmakers created there. I just want to mention one more thing. There is a man john lost his life. He worked in, he was a shopkeeper who worked in the Outer Richmond district in the richmond market. He tried to stop a beef from taking year. He was beaten with a baseball bat. They do not prosecute shoplifting. They dont prosecute this type of theft and this is what happens. He was doing the right thing because in his heart and in his soul, he would not let someone steal from where he worked. I just want to know if she dean preston went to his funeral i want to know if lawmakers in San Francisco went to his funeral. I spent all Afternoon Reading about that mans life. He had just become a u. S. Citizen months prior to his death. He came to this country to make a better life for his family. When people talk about nonviolent crime, there is no such thing. When they start treating shoplifting as if it is not a crime, it is a crime and it leads to the death of people who believe in protecting property and protecting things around them. So, to johns family or to johannes family, i pray for you today and i hope everyone prays for them. A horrible, horrible story. Not the only one that we hear. Innocent lives being lost and it is not just elon musk. You actually have 12 cities in california now suing l. A. Over their new zero bail policy. They know that this is just doing more and more, taking us away from the state of Law And Order and it will prevent more violent crimes. Sounding the alarm on the guy that pulled the fire alarm before congress voted. What does fellow Squad Members aoc say. Its time for the ridiculous span. That is coming up next. Tech cracked windshield on your new car . Bring it to safelite. My customer was enjoying her new car, when her windshield cracked. [gasp] customer my car tech vo she didnt take it to the dealer. She scheduled with safelite. We have the latest technology for the newest vehicles. And we do more replacements and recalibrations than anyone else. Customer thank you so much. Tech dont wait schedule now. Pop music singers safelite repair, safelite replace. Welcome back to the Big Weekend Show. Where there is smoke, there is fire. Wildfire alarm on capital hill yesterday may remind you of the office. [inaudible conversations] republicans are sounding the alarm pushing for a democrat to be held accountable for pulling the fire alarm right before vote was held on the spending bill. We will have a full investigation. Think about how other people are punished who have done something wrong and that capital. The guys a principal. He knows what a fire alarm is. Its pretty indisputable that he knew what he was doing. They did all kinds of tactics to slow it down because they wanted the ukraine funding. That is actually ridiculous. Will he be held accountable for obstructing an official proceeding . He better be that is exactly what happened on january 6 according to bidens Justice Department so lets see how they treat their own. Congresswoman cortez is coming to the rescue. With some predictable span. Lets check it out. If you actually do see some of the photos of the signs, the exits normally open in the building were suddenly closed. They are filing a motion to expel a member you in a moment of panic was trying to escape. They are protecting someone who is not only committed wire fraud , not only defaulted veterans, like to federal investigators, but openly gloating about it. Absolutely humiliating to republican caucus. I think they should check their own values. I guess they development from yesterday is that On Fox And Friends this morning, work mark wayne mullen, the timing was so specific he. White house telling democrats stalled the vote. If schumer drops it on the senate floor, it does not stop it that would necessitate a shutdown. What i really find atrocious about this is not just how horrible of a person Jamaal Bowman has to be to pull the fire alarm to stall a bow but the idea that democrats were willing to do that for a shutdown to blame it on republicans. What was the statement that he made . I was rushing to make a bow. I came to a door that is usually open for boats but today would not open. I am embarrassed to admit that i activated the fire alarm . He is willing to admit that he is so stupid that he pulled a fire alarm . Rather than admit that he did it to stall the boat. Yeah. Okay. Instead of calling him the squad , we will just call him the nine circles of hell. [laughter] that appears to be what is going on here. Jamaal bowman has referred to the Tiktok Bay On or the effort to ban tiktok as racist and xena phobic. We are creating a red scare around china. I can sit here for the remainder of this hour and recount some of the things that he said. But the fact that aoc feels the need to play cleanup for him is intensely laughable. You take care of your squad. The sole member. The eight other circles of hell. I want to go to you on this. We had this representative georgia, hank johnson, He Sat One Time and asked if guam midnight flip over because they put too Many Service Members on one side of it. His excuse for being that stupid was he was on painkillers or something. Is there any chance at Jamaal Bowman has a medical excuse for being this stupid . This was his best excuse. This is a politician. You know, sometimes they make up lies for a living. This was not me in any way trying to delay a bow. It was the exact opposite. I was trying urgently to get to about which i ultimately did in a bipartisan effort to keep our government open. That just sounds like words of a politician. It could also be a medical illness. The way that i see this, i work in a hospital, i come upon a lot of locked doors. If you are doing what he did you are either dumb, aoc says he was in a panic so therefore he did it and therefore he is dumb enough in a panic because that is how he handles those situations. Not sure he should be representing our nation. He is either actually dumb, he is lazy, so lazy he cannot just go find another door because i more certain there are more than just that one or he wanted to delay the vote. Unless he sent a text message to his Chief Of Staff that he wants to delay the boat, we probably will not know. We either have a very dumb congressman or he tried to delay the vote. If they hold others accountable for similar offenses, hopefully this continues to gain some tension. You have inside and how this can be handled. There is an investigation by Capitol Hill Police. There is also one that Kevin Mccarthy may be able to deal. He says that he will look into. He says he will ask jeffries to look into it which i think is kind of funny. Is there an Ethics Committee . Something they can do within the ethics of congress here. Five people in five people. Congressman bowen, i was a congressman for eight and a half years. Ive got to tell you, if you look at where he is actually pulling, that is just a wall. There are no other options. There is not a door there. Simply a fire alarm. For the former school principal, he knew exactly what he was doing. I want to put up this sidebyside. Look closely at that photo. That photo is different, those are not the right sidebyside spirit if you look at the two, the media rushed over to see what he saw. Those two red signs are not in the still photo of the congressman pulling the fire alarm. Theyve been moved. Rolled the videotape. If you look on the righthand side, see those two in the background, those are not in the picture on the left. Why not . Why did the Capitol Hill Police just really say still photo. I want to see the video from the moment he comes up on the door. Lets also keep in mind this was Roll Call Vote number 513. It is a 513 that time this congress has voted on the floor of the house. Are you telling me the first time you did not know how to get to the floor of the house for the 513 time. How convenient your excuses. He knew exactly what was happening. There is a tunnel that will take you straight to the capital on top of the irretrievable stupidity in all of this, you know there are cameras everywhere. In the Capital Building and eyewitnesses everywhere. We will wrap this up. Coming up, Oprah Winfrey and Meghan Markle project themselves as women of the people. I will do everything that i can to make sure that we can implement that for people. Time to put their money where their mouth is. Both are being floated to fill californias vacant u. S. Senate seat. We will see who it is next. Huh. How long have you been tracking our cars value with carvana . Just, like, 7 months. Should we sell it . We hold. Hold. Silver vans are going for more right now, should we. Hold. Our low mileage is paying off. You think we should. Hold. Depreciation is really heating up you think. Hoooold hooold hooold. Hold we just dipped 2. 5 hooooooold now im on it. Im, on it. Already sold to carvana. Go to carvana and track your cars value today. Sometimes its hard to know where to start. When the cycle never stops, youre not alone. Visit. Make the Connection Dot Net to learn more. Beatles. Paul mccartney. Welcome back to the Big Weekend Show. Benefactor a billionaire and quite simply the greatest gift giver alive. Q the drumroll. All right, open your boxes. One, two, three. [cheering] may be all those freebies just giving away money will help her get the spot in california as the next senator. Rumors are swirling that she is on the list that gavin newsom is considering to fill the open senate seat following the death of senator dianne feinstein. Meghan markle is also reportedly putting herself on that list. Whatever happens, markle is certainly wellversed on the lefts talking points. The only wealthy nation in the entire world that does not mandate and have a federal paid leave program. I will do everything that i can to make sure that we can implement that. A piece of womens inequality people have uplifted the entire community. When it comes to the pay gap, it is staggering. It is nonsensical. And two of the boys in my class said, yeah, that is where women belong, in the kitchen. It sparked this frustration and desire for change. It was during the l. A. Riots, actually. It is hard to get through that. Can you imagine her as the next senator from the great state of california. I cant. Doctor safire, what do you think . Meghan markle, i am not necessarily a fan of hers, i think the only people that like her less and the british are those in the United States. You can have celebrities, they can be politicians, we saw that with schwarzenegger, jesse ventura, also reagan, the differences they also had some experience in leadership, politics even schwarzenegger was a part of reagan and also hws administration. And Meghan Markle just does not do it for me. I just cannot with her. It would make for great tv. Overall, i could get behind, she loves to give things away for free. Sounds like a california politician. Im sure she could get elected by the democrats. I just hope she uses her money not the taxpayers. Do you think this could really happen . No. Although Oprah Winfrey would not be a bad idea. Gavin newsom has promised to have her kia points to fill Dianne Feinsteins seat temporarily will not actually run for the job. Exactly. Exactly. Next year . Next year. Meghan markle would cling to that for her dear life and there is nothing that is in Gavin Newsoms best interest to name this woman. Again, wildly unlike here in the United States. And, she cant even hang onto a spotify gig for a podcast which she could not even do the podcast herself, they had other people doing the interviews. Oprah winfrey, i do get. She would never do it but money money money money money money in terms of fundraising, people still love her, it would benefit gavin newsom, not benefit oprah. He did say it would be a black woman or a woman of color. They already narrowed it down. That is the point, right, Governor Newsom did not say he would pick the best person, he said that it had to be a black woman from california. Oprah does feel that. There is a lot going on here. I have something that is a little bit serious and something that is not. Gavin newsom is calculated. He wants to be president of the United States. Whoever he chooses will be of utility to him. He does not want to choose someone who wants to run for because he does not want to make anyone that can be a fundraiser for his campaign mad at him. He does not want to create turmoil. You cannot give it to a celebrity because they love attention and power and adoration. They will not want to not run for it again it i think Meghan Markle is the best choice. I have nothing against Meghan Markle because i was a United States marine. Other marines fought against the british one time and i have never let that go. For an American Woman to have a chance to join the monarchy and say no, no, no, im going back to america to take part in a democratically elected government that stands in spite of your monarchy, i give that a thumbs up. That is not why she came back here. [laughter] and i had one thing about oprah . Oprah winfrey is the only celebrity who has ever matter to politics, in terms of her endorsement. She, essentially, got barack obama elected. She understands leadership. She would almost be too strong of a person to be a caretaker. I dont think oprah will want to fill out that Financial Disclosure form. [laughter] here are all my assets and everything i own. I dont think she will want to do that. Governor newsom, you are on the clock. You can do it at any time. Coming up next. Not a former Pro Ballplayer or a prince, but he is the most eligible bachelor of television. It is a 72yearold the new 42 yearold . Thanks to the golden bachelor . That is coming up next. Youve worn many hats, from past jobs in fact.

Welcome back to the Big Weekend Show. The golden bachelor may have a bigger impact on our culture than just the love lives of the 22 single women vying for his attention. Send me a message. Telling you that you are dealt. My granddaughter told me i had [laughter] the golden bachelor confirmed that he does have read is. We will get to that in a moment. Now there is some buzz in the media about terry senior moment as tv 72yearold bachelor. Writing can the golden bachelor make seniors sexy. Or the New York Times speculating the show is just boomer bait. Who was the oldest year . Me. I will go to you. When you watch this . With your wife . No. Did you watch the bachelor before it was the golden bachelor . Some of watching these types of shows is about 45 seconds. It pales in comparison. Joey is the biggest fan ever. He is always talking about the shows. [laughter] but, i will tell you, this may be the most realistic one. I like this guy. I read a little bit about them. Seventytwo years old. His wife passed away. Ive got about a 700,000 things to do before i would watch this show. Just a little hint in television. We dont take up on the segment topic. Im just saying. Just a general rule. You dont say i watch Reality Television ever. Because i know. [laughter] you have never been on with me when we talked about the royals, have you. I am happy to throw it down the can. Listen. We know how you feel about the monarchy. I am not a bachelor fan, i am not a fan of that show. I find this one much more intriguing. The average age is 67. He is a bachelor late in life because his wife passed away. A compelling story here. Its not im 25, im beautiful and i want to be a Celebrity Tv Star which is what all the others are. The genuineness of this may make it interesting. I thought it was Harrison Ford when i first saw the little clip there. Hes a goodlooking guy. It is older people having fun, dating. I dont know if you will walk away with the wife, but it may be interesting. I meant to it. I watch reality tv. Do you know what means . I do not. I am ashamed to say that. He has it. Gotta catch up here. It is derived from the word charisma. I thought rizzo from greece. Maybe it was like spunky. Charisma. I like it. Listen, the man is 72. He looks good for 72. A little old for me. I have to admit ive never watched an episode of the bachelor but did does not mean i do not like reality tv. I like his story. Everyone does try to be an Influencer Reality Star these days. Maybe this has a little bit more meaning to it. What i want to know, that show is sponsoring Watch Parties for more than 200 Retirement Communities providing sparkling cider were those original candies which happened to be my favorite. I just may watch the golden bachelor. The show i actually watch is alone. That is the one i like. The survivalist shows. But those people out there. Naked and afraid. Now youre trying to clean it up a little bit. Naked and afraid. Look, it is negative scared. [laughter] i pretty much watch everything. I am curious is that jerrys real hair . I dont think that it is a toupee. He may have had some implants done. I am all in to discover the origin. When i am 72 more than my legs will be falling apart. I can guarantee. I will not be jerry at 72. I promise. When you find out who wins, you dont even have to tell me. [laughter] reality tv. Lending a loop. Private bathrooms for rent. Is this genius or just gross . The Big Weekend Show debates next vo sure you can get data everywhere but do you have to use it all the time . Thats not really you. With tracfone, you get great coverage all on nationwide 5g. For a lot less. Plans start at 15 a month nocontract. Tracfone. There is a new app out there that has us thinking about curb your enthusiasm. Lets take a look. Did you use my bathroom . No. Why would i use your bathroom . You told me not to. U. S. To use it. Yes, i did. What am i going to do. Thats the rule. Larrys desire for private peaceful clean restroom while on the go may become a reality for the masses with this new app called rest space. Renting someones private bathroom for 1 a minute. Then we will rent them out. Watching airbnb specifically for your restroom. A little bit more than just going to the restroom. Mothers that need to nurse and people need to get ready for a Business Meeting and things like that. I know you are a member of congress in bathrooms with showers up there, at a premium. I know that theres a little bit of a tussle for that. What you think about this idea of going into a strangers bathroom for 15 and take care of business. I much rather watch the golden bachelor. [laughter] i can totally see the segment of the population not going to the local Convenience Store or gas station. So dirty, so disgusting. If they need a private moment like a nursing mother someone who is just not i could have i hope i never have to use it. Using the population that some parts of big cities, it is not readily available. I could argue both sides of this. We have enough happening already on the flipside of this, i cannot walk through new york city without smelling marijuana or urine. I would love it if some people could stop using the street for their toilet and actually use the toilet. On that topic, we may come back to that because i have a sanitary question, i see business is not allowing you to use the restroom like they used to because people are less respectful going into a service station bathroom. You dont know who will go in there and use drugs or do Something Like that. If you are in a big city, you cannot just go use business bathrooms. This may be a better way to find the restroom while you are touring San Francisco. It will not work in a place like San Francisco because nobody who has half a brain will allow anyone into their home or a boat to use their restroom. It may work where this was originated where in san diego, there it might work. You have homes and it is in the downtown area. Here, you go to a department store. You get in the elevator and you go up in the hello, you go to a hotel. I have 1000 bathrooms you can use in new york city. You dont need a pay. It is free. You just need to know where to go. Museums, free. I can keep going. Jason, this is a statement from the cofounder. She explains, she says the smallest corner of your room, usually your bathroom in the smallest interview of time, to 15 minutes just in time to freshen up. Showing how we think people should interact, i am not sure where we are headed here. Going back to that freshen up idea. Getting ready for a Business Meeting. Spilling coffee on their shirt. Do you think this is realistic at all . For someone who was visiting or maybe going to the beach with their family and they have to figure out how to deal with junior and all of that, it is an entrepreneurial idea. I like the idea that the marketplace will take care of this. Fifteen bucks, i dont think my wife will have people coming into her house for 15 bucks and have to go clean it up afterwards. A bathroom you dont use yourself. You only use it for your business if you do this. How many people can afford to live in their home or apartment where they have about their that is only dedicated for gas standard is 50 for 15 minutes. Maybe one or two guest a day, certainly not paying enough for that soul bathroom. People dont want to be sharing their bathroom with strangers which is why so many people avoid public bathrooms as it is. I want to have my little guy in there with some white breath missed breath mints and stuff for 15 i can skip that long line and go use the one next door in someones house. Women are just as guilty. Women are worse than men. Stick around. The Big Forest Coming Up right next. Tech need to get your windshield fixed . Safelite makes it easy. Tech vo you can schedule in just a few clicks.
