Transcripts For FBC Kennedy 20170331

First up tonight, President Trump has a warning for the republicans who threw a Monkey Wrench in his plan to repeal and replace obamacare, and hes threatening to fight those opponents in next years midterm election. This morning the president tweeted this the Freedom Caucus will hurt the entire republican agenda if they dont get on the team and fast. We must fight them and dems in 2018. Exclamation point. As you to know, the key Freedom Caucus prevented fellow republicans from getting the number of votes they needed to pass their Health Care Bill. The president said this week he still plans to get it passed. Democrats have largely sat this one out and met the republicans fight amongst themselves, but members of the Freedom Caucus are are pushing back against the president. In fact, michigan congressman justin amash responded to the president , warning it didnt take long for the swamp to drain, no shame, mr. President , almost everyone succumbs to the d. C. Establishment. So who will ultimately come out on top . Fox news ed henry is here now. Good to see you. Dagen good to see you, ed. I was waiting for donald trump to tweet about the Freedom Caucus just a matter of time. Dagen it took him almost a week, and he didnt call out anybody individually by name, which was surprising. Not yet, but closer to the midterms you could see him calling people out. This is maybe a preface to actually getting down and hammering individual conservative lawmakers if they dont come to his cause. I see this as a big shortterm political problem for him, though, because antagonizing others is not what he needs right now. We had heard from some of our reporting that before the Health Care Failure a couple weeks back steve bannon had called these Freedom Caucus members in and said, look, this is not a conversation, basically. This is the bill, this is what were doing, you get on or else, and a lot of them went, or else. So i dont see how doubling down on that in the short term is going to help them on health care, tax reform or the rest of his agenda. However, when you say whos going to come out on top, Donald Trumps been counted out time and time again dating back to the campaign and has prevailed, number one. And number two, he does have a point that these Freedom Caucus members at some point have to realize republicans have the keys to the whole kingdom. Theyve got to get something done. Dagen well, i looked at that bill and what the Freedom Caucus wanted that wasnt in it initially. But broadly speaking, it reforms medicaid, it gets rid of the individual mandate, the employer mandate, it cut taxes by a trillion dollars, it cut spending by roughly a trillion dollars. Broadly speaking, whats not to like . Well, there were a lot of other reform that is the Freedom Caucus wanted in there. I think the point that donald trump is trying to make, and maybe its a little inartful in the form of a tweet, in only 140 characters, of course dagen that was an artful tweet, ed, come on. [laughter] dont let the perfect be the enemy of the good. I think that is what the message should be, which is like was this a flawed Health Care Bill . Yes. Was it perfect . No. But i think what the white house was trying to do was get something through the house, since they spoke in front of the house and they have a majority at least on paper and get it to the senate. Because, of course, its going to change in the senate. And you know what . Its going to change again when they go into conference committee. That is the process. Dagen well, and the Freedom Caucus has been lambasted by the wall street journal editorial page, Dan Henninger wrote about it today, and karl rove had an oped, said bad excuses for republican fratricide, was the headline. And the other thing is, look, in terms of donald trump trying to bring the Freedom Caucus in like i say, in the short term this might be be doubling down on beating them up but whats the alternative . This idea of working with democrats, . Look at nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, they want to stop Health Care Reform at all costs. They want to leave obamacare in place, they dont want to give him a victory on tax cuts. So if the alternative to the Freedom Caucus is nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, ive got news for you, it aint gonna work, so he is going to have to come back to the Freedom Caucus. Maybe split em in half, split em in pieces, hes got to work with them. Dagen real quick, do you think they get health care done and Infrastructure Spending done this year . Highly unlikely. At least a trillion dollars for infrastructure, wheres that going to come from . Some of the cuts that the president wants in order to pay for his budget are already being called dead on arrival on the hill. Thats tough, and in terms of tax reform, i still think they can get tax reform, but in this tight window when youre also trying to avoid a Government Shutdown and all these over things, i dont see them getting things done by the summer, and that means a president without a shortterm victory. Dagen you brought me a book . Yeah, the problem is how but for a secret meeting that branch ricky had with the minister that helped push him over the temperature to pick jackie robinson, the problem is its signed to kennedy. No, just kidding. Its signed to dagen. Dagen ill still read it. She gets nothing. [laughter] thank you so much. The Senate Intelligence committee today started hearings on whether russia melded in the 2016 meddled in the 2016 election, but president Vladimir Putin strongly rejected those claims. As you know, the white house has been trying to shake allegations that russia did everything it could to get trump to win and Hillary Clinton to lose. The hearings today trying to determine to what extent russia spread propaganda and socalled fake news to achieve that, and senators say theyre trying to prevent this from turning into a political quagmire. Russia deployed this deluge of disinformation in a broader attempt to undermine americas strength and leadership throughout the world. The chairman and i agree it is vitally important that we do this as a credible, bipartisan and transparent manner as possible. Dagen so will this investigation yield any resultss the president has alleged . Lets bring in the springloaded party panel, political reporter for the young turks, editor at town hall and Fox News Contributor and cowboy boot lady, katie pavlich. And lincolns top hat podcast, ben brenberg. If were going to get a true bipartisan looksee into what happened during the election, were going to get it from senators burr and warner. Is that right yeah. Yesterday when they announced what theyre going to do with this investigation, they made it very clear they trust each other. There wasnt a a lot of partisan back and forth. They started by saying we trust each other, we also trust the members here. Theyve dedicated seven fulltime staffers the looking through what they said an unprecedented amount of information. And so theyre calming it down. The house is always, you know, no to have yously a little crazier than the senate is, and im glad to see theyre moving forward in a nonpolitical way because the bottom line is there has been a lot of political talk around russia. But russia attacks everyone. Marco rubio came out today and said, and said, look, my office was also attacked during the summer of 2016 by the russians, and so this is a bipartisan earth. It wasnt just targeted effort. It wasnt just targeted toward one Political Party or the other. One suffered more than the other, i would say, but this was an attack on the system, and that should be taken seriously by republicans and democrats. Dagen Catherine Herridge was reporting we found out the Cyber Campaign has continued to this day, in fact, attacks on paul ryan even after the Health Care Bill went down last week. And it doesnt look like this is going to be den. There were no government officials at this hearing, and it doesnt look like this is going to be conducted in public at all which, given everything thats going on in the house, a good thing. I wouldnt be surprised if there were leaks in this environment right now. Its complicated because i think theres a lot of distrust over this issue from the far right and the far left right now and those more towards the center are more engaged with their party, including the republican party, by the russia story. But theres distrust because [audio difficulty] that russias been pushing out through multiple different outlets. It should be a transparent process, but russias looking at every single thing that we do and say and tapping into paul ryan whos in a weak spot right now politically as well and is the enemy of steve bannon. All this stuff plays together and is complicated, and for once its dagen but we do need answers. We need answers whether the intelligence collection finish do intelligence agencies were abuse by that outgoing administration. Not just alleged collusion. Well, i mean, obviously, the russians, they had their hands in the 2016 election. The chinese also had their hands in the 2016 election. This isnt like particularly new. I dont think it swayed the election in Donald Trumps favor. I mean, at the end of the day the only thing we know for sure is that the dnc was colluding with the Hillary Clinton campaign to derail Bernie Sanders [laughter] dagen john podesta called bernie a dufus, by the way. Oh, i remember. I was there. [laughter] you know, this is exactly what putin wanted to do, he wanted to destable us and make us question our democracy, and every single news story about it makes putin feel stronger and better than before. Dagen instead of talking about cutting our taxes, were talking about Vladimir Putin and russia. The federal judge in hawaii who ordered a halt on President Trumps revised travel ban has now upped the ante and indefinitely extended that halt, and the white house is not at all happy about it. As you might recall, the revised ban was not as strict as the original. It was changed quite handsomely. It exempted green cardholders and temporarily barred travelers from six predominantlymuslim nations from entering the u. S. Iraq no longer on the list. But the judge in hawaii ruled that the intent was the same as the original, calling it a neon sign flashing muslim ban. In a Statement Today the Justice Department said, quote the president s executive order falls squarely within his Lawful Authority in seeking to protect our nations security, and the department will continue to defend this executive order in the courts. So where is this going next . Katie. They changed it even, too, because the original order gave an exemption to religious minorities right. Dagen they even took that out right. So it does not read like a muslim ban. Right, right. It wasnt in the first place, but even christians and yazidis who were under genocide in a lot of these countries by isis were not given an exception to come here as refugees. They changed it, they did what the court said they should do, and here we have liberals fighting this. I take severe issue with this context of putting this as banned from majoritymuslim countries. No, were banning people from failed states. Were banning people from governments that dont exist. Were banning people from systems that dont have any kind of vetting or paperwork or process at all. And so for this judge to extend this continually is a problem, and this idea that were just going to allow people from countries that have no systems at all into our country is absurd considering weve seen the consequences of that in europe. Dagen i just want to point out, though, the fact that this judge goes back to things that President Trump says on the campaign trail yeah. Dagen that is judicial overreach, to say the least. He ought to i said he ought to doff the robe and show us the im with her k tshirt. When the president campaigns on promises and moves forward on those promises and wants to adjust them with language that i completely disagree with you on this, katie. Number one, you need to have a visa to come from half of these, and theres an extraordinary no, theres not. Wheres the government in yemen . In somalia . Its not youre just letting in yemeni citizens unless theyre refugees, and thats when they go through the vetting. Theres no vetting right now. There is for people to come in places like libya. Maybe because barack obama had a Foreign Policy that allowed all these countries on the list to fall apart and have no and how many terrorist attacks occurred by yemeni citizens in the United States . What about, what about i dont like that argument because you have to preempt them right. Dagen its about tomorrow and wait until nothing happens to have a plan. Donald trump calls himself a master brander, hes even convinced people his steaks are good, but he really messed up in the beginning i would agree. The Obama Administration had put forward with the seven nations. Its only around 13. 5 population of the muslim of the muslim population, so its not a ban. I think we should privatize it and have small individuals be able to take care of immigrants when they come to this country, watch them, secure them, allow them to assimilate thats not a Refugee Program i wrote a story about how the government under george w. Bush let in to brothers who were iraqi refugees who lied on an immigration form, and they happened to come here, and we find out in 2014 that they are connected and brothers of a guy in iraq who held an american citizen along with a number of other hostages in a bunker for a year under hostile and torturous conditions, and yet they were in the United States. And, by the way, theyre also being charged with immigration fraud. The idea that we are allowing people just to come into the country from countries that are failed states with no central government, without any paperwork, the fbi and all the other intelligence agencies say they cannot track or keep you know, they dont thats absolutely false. That is not true. [inaudible conversations] james cey and admiral rogers both said they do not have the ability to vet these people, and yet were still letting them in theyre not the ones vetting. The the state department vets and theyre failing at it. Dagen ill give the final word. They have no information on these people from these failed states, thats the central issue. None. Dagen this judge in hawaii gives it a thumbs up, its aokay if these individuals keep coming into the country. I think we do have to stress assimilation in a its not so much about this ban. What President Trump is doing right now, he is giving the authority to officials to determine who is coming in and who is not. There was a [inaudible] dagen i really want to wrap and just say its his authority in the constitution of the United States to basically set Foreign Policy and protect the homeland. Ill see you guys in a little while. Everybody, the city council of a famously liberal city has now voted for the impeachment of the president. Take a wild guess which city im talking about. But first, as President Trump and republicans make their push for tax reform, youll be surprised to hear how Many Americans dont mind paying what theyre already paying to uncle sam. Brian brenberg joins me to crunch some numbers. At crowne plaza we know Business Travel isnt just business. Theres this. a bit of this. Why not . Your hotel should make it easy to do all the things you do. Which is what we do. Crowne plaza. Were all business, mostly. I use whats already inside me to reach my goals. So i liked when my doctor told me i may reach my blood sugar and a1c goals by activating whats within me with onceweekly trulicity. Trulicity is not insulin. It helps activate my body to do what its supposed to do release its own insulin. Trulicity responds when my blood sugar rises. I take it once a week, and it works 24 7. It comes in an easytouse pen and i may even lose a little weight. Trulicity is a onceweekly injectable prescription medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. Trulicity is not insulin. It should not be the first medicine to treat diabetes or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Do not take trulicity if you or a Family Member has had medullary thyroid cancer, if youve had multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to trulicity. Stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms such as itching, rash, or trouble breathing; a lump or swelling in your neck; or severe pain in your stomach area. Serious side effects may include pancreatitis, which can be fatal. Taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases your risk for low blood sugar. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite and indigestion. Some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may make existing kidney problems worse. With trulicity, i click to activate whats within me. If you want help improving your a1c and blood sugar numbers with a noninsulin option, click to activate your within. Ask your doctor about onceweekly trulicity. Dagen after last weeks failure in repealing obamacare, republicans in washington are hoping they get a better outcome on their next priority, tax reform. And according to a new fox news poll, most americans are onboard with an overhaul. 55 of registered voters think they pay too much in taxes while 40 think that their tax bill is just about right. When asked if tax reform should happen this year, 73 said, yeah, while 21 said, no. So when do those 21 [laughter] of the people think is right, the right time to make changes, and who are the 40 who think that they pay uncle sam just the right amount, let me ask brian brenberg. Im very perplexed by this, 40 think they pay just about the right amount of taxes. Youre not in that 40 . Dagen if you pay a dime, thats too much. But i guess therein lies the problem. 45 of americans dont have a federal income tax liability, if you dont pay federal income tax, youre probably not concerned about where the rates are, and that helps explain some of that 40 number. Yeah, i agree, i think, you know, the other side of that is the people who do pay taxes and do care are probably intensely concerned about the rate of taxes that theyre paying, and they want to see that come down. You dont get that intensity number dagen 73 of people think the u. S. Tax system should be reformed this year, but reformed could mean that people who dont pay any net federal income tax actually wind up paying a little bit of something if you get rid of some of the perks and handouts to industry and special interests. I think what people tend to lump a lot, when you say taxes to people, they lump some of the benefit payments they get from the government. So when they see a republican in the house and a republican in congress and they say, oh, whats going to happen to our taxes and benefits, i think theyre going to be cut, i think the republicans are going to want to cut spending. People have a sense their taxes are going to go up under trump because their benefits might be cut because of a Republican Congress or president. Dagen if you look at the list of these priorities in the fox news poll, the first one, the top one, is creating jobs, 33 , then destroying the islamic state. Cutting taxes was third. It did get double digits, 10 at the very bottom was repealing and replacing obamacare, and im like that is cutting taxes and creating jobs. All three of them are intertwined. It is. Although it is interesting to see three times more people believe creating jobs is more important than cutting taxes. If you think job creations very important and you think that cutting taxes helps to create more jobs, youre going to be in the very favor of very in favor of cutting taxes. But a lot of people dont think thats going to be the primary way we create jobs, so theyre not as interested in cutting taxes. Dagen whatever happened to being worried about the National Debt and the deficit . Yeah. Dagen right . Where does this figure into the equation, because thats what conservatives at their core think worry about. I do think thats rattling around in the back of peoples minds. They know the National Debt has skyrocketed, its going to continue to rise dagen really the last eight especially. Even if you go back to bush, you saw it increase pretty significantly. Look, if we cut taxes but we dont do anything about spending, deficits continue to go up, and debt goes way up, and that means our kids, whether they like it or not, theyre going to have to pay huge tax bills or default on a debt. Thats a very bad outcome. Dagen but President Trump has vowed hes not going to cut medicare, hes not going to touch social security, and that is roughly half of Government Spending every year. The truth is you cant really do anything about debt long term unless you do something about medicare, medicaid and social security. Yes, he said hes not going to touch it. You can grow all you want, you can grow faster than the United States has ever grown before, youre not going to grow out of that debt. Dagen do they get tax reform done, tax cuts or neither . I think its going to be tax cuts. They want a quick win, tax cuts are with are the quick win. Dagen you change corporate taxes, get a little money, spend it on infrastructure, and then the democrats like it too maybe. Yeah, you can get a little bipartisan help. Dagen from your to their ears. Brian brenberg, good to see you. Coming up, democrats in disarray as Bernie Sanders calls for a complete makeover of the party, but Debbie Wasserman schultz says everythings just fine. Do the dems have any hope . Ill ask Juan Williams next. How can we say that this spring guests can earn a free night when they book direct on choicehotels. Com and stay with us just two times .

Dagen color me shocked, but the democrats are having an identity crisis. Vermonts socialist senator, Bernie Sanders who almost secured the democratic nomination for president say that is the Democratic National committee needs to reform to, quote, a topdown overhaul and go grassroots if they have any chance of regaining power. But coming together in any form doesnt seem to be on the horizon for the party considering they cant even agree on who they are. Heres former dnc chair Debbie Wasserman schultz saying the complete opposite of what sanders said just hours earlier. [laughter] respectfully to senator sanders, we are already a Grassroots Party. We all agree that we should be and we are a Grassroots Party that focuses on making sure that we can help people reach the middle class. Dagen so how are democrats going to win back anything if they cant even agree on the state of their party . Let me ask Juan Williams, fox news political analyst and a columnist for the hill. Juan, theres nothing grassroots about the party that Debbie Wasserman schultz was running where they stacked the deck against Bernie Sanders and were all in on Hillary Clinton, a candidate who everybody even democrats knew couldnt win. We have to define grassroots, because in american politics today, its the antiestablishment type of populism, right . Yes, indeed. Everybody wants that because hes the winner, hes the president , right . But for the democrats, youve got to isolate it, and i think what you come down to is people who voted for president obama who then switched and votes for President Trump. Theyre democrats, often in key states wisconsin comes to mind, but you could also extend that to michigan, north carolina, florida. And, you know what . You find out theyre white, blue collar folks. And the question is if thats grassroots, bernie is right, because bernie appealed to those voters. Dagen but Debbie Wasserman schultz, what has she been imbibing since she stepped down from the dnc, because thats not the party she was running, and thats not how she viewed the voters out there. And is des moines perez any different tom perez any different than her . I think this is what came up in the battle for chair of the dnc, is how do you go at it and are they really appealing to the grassroots. Now, the reason i said to you off the top grass roots is how we define it, guess what, theres a grassroots of the Democratic Party thats really more black, latino, asian, educated, whites, especially women who are strongly antitrump, do not share the value of that blue collar voter who switched from obama to trump. So the question is, well, can the party expand its reach and stop dealing in what some people call identity politics, right . And Start Talking to that white, blue collar dagen youve got to get away, and Bernie Sanders really pulled Hillary Clinton onboard with the 15 minimum wage. And tpp. Remember trade deals . Bernie said, no way. Dagen i get how that trade position yes. Dagen would resonate, but i dont understand how 15 minimum wage resonates with individuals who dont want to just make 15 an hour, they want opportunity correct. Dagen they want safety, they want a longterm career, and i still think that position on minimum wage is going to get em nowhere. Remember, as i said, its broader than just that single element which is to so critical because, obviously, it swung the election to trump. But people do want, i think, some social safety net, and i think a minimum wage that guarantees you some would call a living wage is part of that. Dagen but how is the new dnc leadership with Keith Ellison in the deputy role who is as leftwing as they come, thats not reaching out to that trump voter, by any stretch of the imagination. Well, i dont know about that, but perez, perez was labor secretary, and i think he understands the importance of jobs. You know, you look back, i dont know about you, but i would say why didnt Hillary Clinton talk more about jobs . I think that really worked for donald trump. With that key base that were talking about that you would identify as grassroots and i i say its part of dagen but tom perez i think on his first day on the job or one of his first days hes talking about the rigged election and how the russians and trump rigged the election. Well dagen and if youre singing that song this many months into trumps term, then youve got bigger problems. Do you think . Im listening to you, because i think thats an interesting analysis. Dagen talk about much of the Democratic Base is so angry over the russia issue, still angry over the fbi dagen you know what . You know why hillary lost though . Theyre angry over their own personal financial situation and their health care, thats what theyre angry about. I think jobs, thats what i think. If we, if the democrats especially now that youve got perez there, former labor secretary, can Start Talking jobs, i think that will satisfy bernies desire to have the democrats reorient themselves to the grassroots. Dagen Juan Williams youre a pleasure to do business with, thank you. Dagen always good to see you. Nice to see you. Dagen coming up, what u. S. Senator just called kim jong un a crazy fat kid . The communist nation is fuming. The panel returns to explain, next. Th you got it. Just say show me millions of used cars for sale at the all new carfax. Com. But, i don want one thats had a bunch of owners just say, show me cars with only one owner pretty cool its perfect. Thats the power of carfax® find the cars you want, avoid the ones you dont plus you get a free carfax® report with every listing start your used car search at carfax. Com dagen the cradle of liberal nonsense, berkeley, california, has passed a resolution to impeach donald trump. And you know what that means . A whole lot of nothing absolutely nada, niente. [laughter] berkeley is the third bayarea city to call for trumps impeachment. The towns mayor says trump has violated the e moll you meants clause which bars lawmakers from profiting off foreign governments. My panels back, kno meek key, katie and brian. Please explain this to me. I think its great all great trends start at berkeley. [laughter] oh, gosh. Birkenstocks . I cant think of one. Dagen patty hearst getting kidnapped . Thats kind of fun. She didnt start that there. I think, you know what . Youve got to take a stand, and if theyre on the right side of history, theyll look back and say berkeley was on, you know, knew what was happening. So did hillary. Would they want to impeach hillary if you could have done it, you probably would have. Dagen how does this make them feel better though . If this was coming from farr go, north dakota fargo, go ahead, i think it would have a lot more weight. The fact that its coming from we berkeley, the e leastist west coast will never understand the average person in the middle of the country. This is par for the course. I just want california to secede, southern california, and then we can build a wall along arizona, nevada, and up through northern california, and they can just have their own crazy country with their own president who doesnt violate the clause dagen should we just saw it off and kick it into the pacific and let hawaii catch it and that judge . Lovely. Californias good whether oh, come on. Great mexican food, great people. Liberals have ruined california. It is such a beautiful, beautiful state with so many resources, and it has the largest population of or discrepancy, no, the largest discrepancy between rich and poor resides in california. I was in San Francisco doing some [inaudible] i got exercise for the first time in my life, its so hilly. [laughter] my goodness, the Homeless Population has taken over that entire city californias more poverty than dagen theyre great at preaching intolerance in the name of tolerance. I love that. North korean dictator kim jong un is this close to unfriending john mccain on facebook. [laughter] the problem started after mccain referred to the communist leader as a crazy fat kid. [laughter] statecontrolled media said that the senators actions are manifestations of the, quote, worst hostility towards north koreas ideologying social system and its people and a grave provocation little short of a declaration of war against it causing mccain to respond with an equally tweet what was i supposed to call him, crazy skinny kid . [laughter] can they patch things up, or do we need to send ambassador rodman back over there . I call him that squat little refrigerator. Oh, thats good. Dagen hes kind of shaped like that. This is the political discourse of, call him a fat little kid and were going to war. What is happening here . These are nuclear powers. They have nukes, its a little scary. Im a little worried though dagen worried about what . We need john mccain to impeach donald trump, and you know what he does, you you know what kim jong un does to his enemies and his brother he compete eats them. Hes going to disappear. [laughter] dagen do you think senator mccain is getting his mojo on twitter in preparation of really trolling well, i dont think it has anything to do with donald trump. In all seriousness, i do think that north korea is an emerging, larger threat than they already are. We just recently found out they launched a missile that could eventually become capable of hitting the west coast. They are a very Serious Nuclear threat to the United States and, of course, to south korea and japan. And koreas having some pretty serious political problems with their government, so theres a lot of instability. But im glad to see that john mccain has a sense of humor. Squat little refrigerator. I like it. It almost reminds me of the waning days of a cult where the people are starving, the government knows theyve lost control. Theyre extremely fatalistic. Its very dangerous stuff, but he is a squat, little fat man. Good to see you all.

Creamy, sweet, its got that beautiful livery taste thats associated with really primo urchin. This is what i imagine kissing a mermaid is hike. Dagen thats legendary tv chef Andrew Zimmer eating a sea urchin on bay czar foods. From grubs to brains to shark, hes chewed on just about every food under the sun and in the ground. The new season of his spinoff show, bizarre foods delicious destinations, starts april 18th on the travel channel. But andrew says life is not just about eating, its about bringing people together in this crazy, mixedup world. Kennedy recently talked to chef, writer, teacher and host of bizarre foods. Kennedy so you have an incredible job because you are, in a sense, a gastronominal ambassador. Slash traveler, interloper and selfexiled cultural meme. [laughter] i think i have the best job in the whole world, and it certainly gets better and better and better for me. Kennedy so how important is food as a gate to culture . Is it the most important . I think its the most important. If you consider math, music and food, if you take away someones boom box, id punch them in the face. If you take away their quadratic equation, but if i do one less problem at work, ill be fine. But historically, when you look back at the history of human evolution, if you take away rice or bread, theres blood in the streets. Thats the stuff revolution is made of. And, quite frankly, when you look at the developing world over the last 500 years, people travel with their food, and their food is then discovered by people in the 17th and 16th centuries during the colonial movement. And that was the beginning of what i call this global food train that sort of just kept chugging around and chugging around, leaving parts of itself all over. And i think most importantly, especially when you look at the refugee crisis in the world, new immigrants into our country or other countries, when people go somewhere, what excites them is taking their food with them. And what cheers them up when they come from a situation that is horrific is to be welcomed in a community of their own people by their own food. Kennedy well, and you talked about that particularly with syria and cuba, maybe people would have a better understanding and a greater desire to embrace other cultures [audio difficulty] probably the greatest of my professional life. Parmeer pal meara is no longer with us kennedy isnt that almost the saddest part though . I mean, that, in a sense, is so its symbolic. If theyll destroy pal myrrh or rah, it gives you an idea how many p lives are lois. And i know what you mean by that. I think the human tragedy by far the greater one. The symbolism of it, its hard for people to get their minds around a million dead, half the country dead kennedy yeah. Its almost like your brain and your feelings shut off because you cant process it. Cant compute it. But aleppo which was written as being a thousand years old in the bible, and ive met vendors who trace their familys history selling olives or honey in that market back predating the bible to think of them as all being gone and that market being rubble is one of the great losses. I have a little bit of honey kennedy you cant replace that. Its literally an irreplaceable thing. Its amazing you do that word, i was doing an interview this morning with a print journalist, and everyone talks about our Natural Resource as being irreplaceable, and they are, but also our cultural resources. There is such a thing as the last bottle of water in the desert, and when someone drinks it, its gone kennedy all right, i want to talk about this food. As you are cutting boo this brisket and this pastrami bacon and the jamaican jerk spare ribs . No, these are the full spare ribs, salted, pepper and oak, and this is from my folks at hometown barbecue kennedy this may not be the most exotic, but it sure looks delicious. Heres the thing, fors exotic to some people its exotic to some people who have never seen it before. So imagine the spanish explorers kennedy i do. Concern you know, coming into st. Augustine, florida, at the beginning of the 16th century and see mind if i use your knife . No, go ahead. And seeing local indians cooking whole animals on greenwood suspended 6, 8 feet over an open fire covered with palm fronds kennedy the brisket melts in your mouth i think, i think kennedy so delicious not even close, you know. What the folks at hometown are doing puts them into a category kennedy people should come to brooklyn. They should travel as the travel channel instructs them, come to brooklyn, have this, it will change your life. Last question. Why do so many cultures have weird food . Are they showing off . Is it the rarest things . What is the unifying element of that . Because thats the way the whole world ate 500 years ago, and those cultures havent been buried under modern culturallist rubble as we have in the United States in a rushed society based on convenience. This is the food that takes time. 18 hours to make some of these meats kennedy yes, it does. Pickled onions. Andrew, thank you so much. Thank, kennedy. Dagen was that barbecue . Barbecue is pork, and none of it ever comes from brooklyn. Just saying. Coming up, somebody found a man eating a shark on a road 5 miles from the ocean. Is the scifi channel filming another shark maid doe sequel . The topical storm is next. Feels like anything is possible here in upstate new york. at corning, i test smart glass that goes all over the world. But theres no place like home. Theres always Something Different to do like skiing in the winter, jet skiing in the summer. We can do everything. New york state is filled with bright minds like samanthas. To find the companies and talent of tomorrow, search for our page, jobsinnewyorkstate on linkedin. Dagen every day the staff on this show has a meeting where they choose the five best videos on the whole internet. They usually do it in a boardroom with big chairs, but judging by these stories, im guessing they had todays meeting in a bar. S this is the topical storm. Topic number one, does size matter . The short answer is, yes. But you cant be choosy if youre a crook who needs a getaway car. A california man was caught on camera trying to outrun the cops on a minibike. The man was wanted for robbing the keebler elves, and it turns out he stole the tiny book from little marco rubio. By the way, i want the thank randy for sending this to us on twitter using hashtag topical storm. Nice job, randy. Were all very proud of you. Topic number two, a monster truck driver has done the impossible. No, he didnt get a woman to come to a monster truck rally. Lee odonnell executed the firstever front flip in a monster truck. The crowd, of course, went nuts, but his uber passengers were kick. One guy spilled his drink, one liberal chick stabbed herself with her safety pin. And the staff on this show thinks i am a total redneck. Theres some truth the that, but theyve never had a monitor truck in the history of kennedy, and the minute i show up, its all minibikes and front flips. So why not hang up a Big Mouth Billy Bass and pour a few glasses of moonshine and give me a story about mayonnaise, you bunch of selfists. Topic number three. A japanese man has apparently done the impossible and mastered the claw machine at the arcade. You know what im talking about, you put in your quarters, and then when you go to pick up the stuffed animal, the hand gets arthritis9 and cant grab anything. It gets you so mad that you want to beat somebody with a can of paint. This japanese dude has won 15,000 stuffed animals off the claw in the last year. Personally, im happy for the guy if thats what hes into, but dont get fooled by this, kids, because that game is totally rigged. The only folks who ever beat the claw are this dude and the aliens at the end of toy story 3. The claw. [laughter] dagen topic number four. Get a load of this. A bull shark washes up onto the streets of a coastal australian town after cyclone debbie blasted through the region. Witnesses say it was just like those sharknado movies, but with a washedup shark instead of washedup actors. God bless america. Dagen and like all sharknados, nobody is hoping for a sequel. Topic number five, an 82yearold japanese grandmother has become the worlds oldest club deejay. The woman spent most of her life working for her familys food business, but she quit a few years back and is spinning the wheels of steel at a popular tokyo nightclub. First there was the late great dj am, and now there is tylenol pm. Shes not on all the time, but she has been known to drink a red bull and ensure. Shes gotten so popular, she now has a rival deejay here in the states. [laughter] dagen thanks for watching the show tonight.
