RIDICULE PEOPLE THAT DON’T WATCH
WE’LL URGE YOU TO WATCH.
STEVE: LET’S SEE IF TEXAS
CONGRESSMAN, DAN CRENSHAW, WHO
HAS A NEW KIDS BOOK OUT CALLED "
FAME, BLAME AND SHAME" IS IT
POSSIBLE TO MANDATE THE WHOLE
COUNTRY TO WATCH"FOX & FRIENDS"?
>> HUH, THAT BE INTERESTING, I
DON’T THINK SO.
I DON’T THINK I COULD DO THAT
FOR YOU.
BRIAN: BECAUSE YOU’RE IN THE
MINORITY.
STEVE: WE ARE NUMBER ONE ALREADY
SO WE’RE FINE.
AINSLEY: WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF ALL
OF THESE SHORTAGES WE’RE HEARING
YOU NEED TO BUY CHRISTMAS
PRESENTS NOW, CHRISTMAS TREE
SHORTAGES, WE KNOW BACON IS UP
17%, BEEF IS UP MORE THAN 12%,
FISH, SEAFOOD, EGGS, POULTRY
EVERYTHING IS THROUGH THE ROOF
NOW.
GASOLINE PRICES.
>> YEAH, AMERICANS ARE
STRUGGLING ON THIS PROBABLY WHY
YOU SHOULD GO BY FAME, BLAME,
AND THE RAFT OF SHAME, BECAUSE
IT’S PRODUCED HERE IN AMERICA,
BUT YOU LIKE THAT PLUG?
BUT SERIOUSLY, THIS HAS BEEN A
LONG TIME PROBLEM NOW, AND IT’S
FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS SO IT’S
HARD TO NARROW DOWN EXACTLY WHAT
WE SHOULD DO ABOUT IT, IT’S
LABOR SHORTAGES, NOT ENOUGH
TRUCK DRIVERS TO GET THESE GOODS
OFF OF THE CARGO SHIPS, IT’S
COVID RESTRICTIONS AND PROTOCOLS
THAT SLOW DOWN THE ENTIRE
PROCESS AND CREATE THESE
BOTTLENECKS AT OUR PORTS AND ED:
IS FEELING IT, AND IT JUST
COMPOUNDS, THE SUPPLY CHAIN
ISSUES THEY COMPOUND ONE AFTER
THE ANOTHER AND WHATEVER
BUSINESS YOU’RE IN YOU CAN’T
SEEM TO GET WHAT YOU NEED NOR
CAN YOU FIND WORKERS SO WATT CAN
WE DO DOMESTICALLY, WE SHOULD BE
ENCOURAGING THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION TO DO IS REALLY
THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY’RE
DOING.
THEY SHOULD BE DOING PRO-GROWTH
POLICIES THAT ENCOURAGE MORE
HIRING IF WE INCENTIVIZE
ANYTHING, IT SHOULDN’T BE
INCENTIVIZING WORKER TOSS
STAY-AT-HOME, IT SHOULD BE
INCENTIVIZING THEM TO COME BACK
TO WORK IF REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN
PUTTING FORTH THAT KIND OF
LEGISLATION FOR JUST ABOUT A
YEAR AND A HALF NOW, WHETHER
THAT’S LIKE WORK BONUSES OR
WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE.
BRIAN: BUT DAN, I HAD A CEO
JUST RIGHT ME NOW, AND JUST SAY
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO UNLOAD
THE SHIPS AND DRIVE THE TRUCKS,
IS IT ENOUGH TO MOBILIZE THE
MILITARY TO DO IT?
AFTER ALL, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
PRICES AND GOODS, AND YOU TALK
ABOUT SHORTAGES, ISN’T THIS A
NATIONAL EMERGENCY?
>> IT’S AN INTERESTING TAKE.
I’M NOT SURE WHAT BE INVOLVED IN
THAT, EVEN IF THAT WOULD HELP,
IT’S NOT AS IF --
BRIAN: DO THEY DRIVE TRUCKS?
>> YEAH, POSSIBLY.
YEAH, POSSIBLY.
BUT WE HAVE TO BE THINKING OF
CREATIVE IDEAS LIKE THAT TO BE
PERFECTLY HONEST.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
REPUBLICANS HAVEN’T BEEN IN
CHARGE FOR A COUPLE YEARS, ABLE
TO PASS COMMON SENSE LEGISLATION
WE’VE BEEN TRYING TO PASS
LEGISLATION FOR INSTANCE THAT
STREAMLINES THE PROCESS, WE’RE
GETTING QUALIFIED TRUCK DRIVERS
ON THE ROAD AT ALL, BUT OF
COURSE YOU COULD PASS THAT RIGHT
NOW.
IT DOESN’T NECESSARILY FLIP A
SWITCH AND YOU HAVE 10,000 TRUCK
DRIVERS, SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE
RIGHT.
NATIONAL GUARD FOLKS A LOT ARE
QUALIFIED TO DRIVE TRUCKS IT’S
AN INTERESTING POINT TO MAKE,
AND WHEN OUR ECONOMY NEEDS TO
RECOVER, WANTS TO RECOVER, BUT
CAN’T BECAUSE IT’S CONSTRICTED
BY THESE FACTORS HAVE YOU TO
TAKE SOME ACTION.
STEVE: I THINK YOUR POINT
EARLIER WHEN YOU WERE TALKING
ABOUT YOUR NEW BOOK THAT WE’LL
TALK ABOUT IN A MINUTE CYST MADE
IN AMERICA AND UNFORTUNATELY
THIS COUNTRY HAS BECOME
DEPENDENT ON STUFF THAT’S MADE
SOME PLACE ELSE AND THEN WHEN
COVID HIT, EVERYTHING SHUTDOWN
ITS TAKEN SO LONG TO GET BACKUP
TO SPEED BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T
ANTICIPATE THE DEMAND.
IT’S ALL SUPPLY AND DEMAND.
>> UH-HUH, YEAH, THAT’S EXACTLY
RIGHT.
A LOT OF PLACES SHUT SHUTDOWN,
PRODUCTION FELL THROUGH THE
FLOOR, AND THEN PEOPLE, YOU
KNOW, A FEW WEEKS LATER SAID
LOOK, WE WANT TO BUY THINGS
WHETHER IT’S ONLINE, OR WHETHER
GOING OUT TO THE RETAIL STORES,
AND THAT SURGE IN DEMAND COSTS
IS DRAMATICALLY ALSO CAUSING A
DRAMATICALLY FOR ENERGY PRICES
YOU’RE SEEING THAT AROUND THE
WORLD ESPECIALLY IN PLACES
LIKE EUROPE THAT HAVE BEEN
IMPLEMENTING THEIR OWN VERSION
OF A GREEN NEW DEAL FOR QUITE A
WHILE NOW, THEY SIMPLY DON’T
HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DEAL WITH
AN UPCOMING WINTER, SO THEY ARE
IMPORTING MORE COAL, IMPORTING
MORE RUSSIAN GAS, CHINA IS DOING
THE SAME, VASTLY RAMPING UP
THEIR COAL PRODUCTION AND KEEP
SAYING THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN,
WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING IS
EXPORTING OUR U.S. NATURAL GAS,
WHICH IS EXTREMELY PLENTIFUL TO
THE REST OF THE COUNTRIES AND
THIS ADMINISTRATION ATTACKS OUR
OIL & GAS COMPANIES AND TELLS
OPEC TO TURN UP THE HEAT.
IT’S RIDICULOUS.
AINSLEY: YOUR GOVERNOR, GREG
ABBOTT IS BANNING ANY ENTITY
FROM ENFORCING A COVID-19
VACCINE MANDATE.
WHAT’S YOUR REACTION TO THAT AND
WHAT ARE THE FOLKS IN TEXAS
SAYING?
>> LOOK, I HATE THAT WE HAVE TO
PLAY THIS GAME.
THIS ISN’T THE RIGHT WAY TO
GOVERN, TO GO FROM MANDATE-TO-
MANDATE AGAINST A
MANDATE.
IT’S NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO GOVERN
I STILL GENERALLY BELIEVE IN
THIS WHOLE FREEDOM OF
ASSOCIATION PRINCIPLE WHERE YOU
CAN ASSOCIATE WITH PEOPLE YOU
WANT TO ASSOCIATE WITH AS AN
EMPLOYER, AS AN EMPLOYEE,
BUT HERE’S THE THING.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ALREADY
TOOK THAT FIRST STEP AND THEY
ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF
WRITING THE RULE UNDER OSHA THAT
WOULD REQUIRE BUSINESSES TO
VACCINATE THEIR EMPLOYEES OR
HAVE THEM FIRED.
THIS IS AN ABSURD RULE, SUCH AN
OVERREACH, UNCONSTITUTIONAL
SO THESE REACTIONS YOU’RE SEEING
FROM THE STATES ARE REACTION TO
THAT OVERSTEP, IN THE FIRST
PLACE, AND GOVERNOR ABBOTT DID
WHAT HE HAD TO DO IN ORDER TO
PROTECT TEXAS BUSINESSES.
THIS IS ALREADY EVEN THOUGH THE
RULE IS NOT TECHNICALLY
IMPLEMENTED YET, IT WILL HAVE,
IT ALREADY HAS A CHILLING EFFECT
ON BUSINESSES.
A LOT OF THE CEO’S WHO, YOU KNOW
, THEY ARE EITHER WOKE OR
THEY ARE SO RISK-AVERSE THAT
IT’S PATHOLOGICAL, THEE
IMMEDIATELY IMPLEMENT THIS STUFF
AND PEOPLE ARE FRIGHTENED BACK,
WE’VE ALL BEEN SEEING WHAT’S
GOING ON WITH SOUTHWEST, PEOPLE
ARE FIGHTING BACK.
THEY KNOW IT’S NOT PRACTICAL,
THEY KNOW IT’S NOT NECESSARY, A
LOT OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE NATURAL
IMMUNITY.
IF YOU’RE A PILOT YOU’RE SITTING
AWAY FROM EVERYBODY, IT’S NOT
LIKE YOU’RE IN A CROWDED AREA.
BRIAN: WHAT A JOKE.
>> WE JUST DON’T NEED TO BE
DOING THIS.
BRIAN: AND DAN HERE’S THE OTHER
THING.
LOOK AT THE TONE OF THE UNITER.
JUST VILLIFYING UNVACCINATED
PEOPLE AND NOT EVEN BRINGING UP
THAT 36 STATES HAVE A DECREASE
IN THE DELTA VIRUS AND LIKE
ISRAEL AND THE UK, ITS FALLEN
OFF A CLIFF, INSTEAD OF TRYING
TO TURN THE CORNER HE’S TRYING
TO GET RATINGS UP BY VILLIFYING
THE UNVACCINATED.
HERE’S ONE OF THEM, SHAWN QUAKER
, AN AIRLINE PILOT, WHO
SAYS YOU CAN FIRE ME BECAUSE I’M
NOT GETTING IT.
LISTEN.
>> HEARD FROM FELLOW PILOTS ALL
OVER FROM ALL AIRLINES AND IT’S
A LOT OF US ARE FACING THE SAME
SITUATION, BUT THIS GOES FAR
BEYOND THE PILOTS, BECAUSE IT’S
NOT JUST AIRLINE PILOTS.
SURE, THERE’S AIRLINE PILOTS
SPEAKING OUT AND YOU’RE SEEING
IT IN THE FOREFRONT OF NEWS, BUT
THE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS, IT’S THE
GROUND PERSONNEL, EVERYONE
WHO WORKS FOR THESE MAJOR
AIRLINE CORPORATIONS.
MY HEALTH AND MY MEDICAL CHOICE
IS MORE IMPORTANT TO ME THAN MY
CAREER AT THIS POINT, AND I
BELIEVE STANDING UP FOR THIS AND
ALL OF THE AMERICANS WHO FEEL
THE SAME WAY AS I DO IS MY
CAREER IS A SMALL SACRIFICE.
AINSLEY: DAN HIS WIFE’S A PILOT
TOO SO BOTH BECAUSE THEY AREN’T
GOING TO GET VACCINATED BY
NOVEMBER 24 THEY ARE BOTH OUT OF
WORK.
HE TALKED TO SOME OTHER PILOTS
AND ONE SIDE WAS A SINGLE DAD
AND HE’S WORRIED ABOUT FEEDING
HIS FAMILY.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT’S INFURIATING
ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS WE ALREADY
HAVE A SHORTAGE OF PILOTS AS
WELL.
IT’S HARD TO RECRUIT PEOPLE IN
THE MILITARY, BECAUSE YOU’RE SEE
MILITARY AS WELL, PEOPLE ARE
JUST WILLING TO THROW AWAY THEIR
CAREERS BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT
TO TAKE THE VACCINE AND THE
MILITARY IS OBVIOUSLY A
LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN A PRIVATE
ORGANIZATION, BUT THE SAME
PROBLEM KEEPS BUBBLING UP.
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN DO IT
DOESN’T MEAN YOU SHOULD, AND
WE’RE AT A POINT NOW, WE’RE WELL
OVER 70% OF THE COUNTRY IS
VACCINATED, AND THEN IF YOU ADD
IN NATURAL IMMUNITY TO THAT,
IT’S A VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE OF
THE COUNTRY THAT IS PROTECTED TO
A PRETTY HIGH EXTENT FROM THIS
DISEASE.
WE CAN CALL IT GOOD.
WE’VE ALREADY SEEN THE DOWN DROP
WE KNOW THAT AND BASED ON THE
EXPERIENCE OF THE PAST TWO
YEARS YOU’RE GOING TO SEE THESE
SPIKES EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND
WE’RE PROBABLY CLOSER TO THE END
OF THAT AND IT STARTS TO LOOK A
LOT MORE LIKE THE FLU.
WE CAN STOP PANICKING AND
FORCING PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH IT
THE WAY WE’D LIKE THEM TO DEAL
WITH IT BECAUSE IT MAKES US FEEL
BETTER.
IT’S TIME TO START LOOKING AT
THE SCIENCE AND WHAT WORKS AND
WHAT DOESN’T, AND ACCEPT WHAT WE
CANNOT CHANGE, AS WELL WITHOUT
FORCING PEOPLE INTO POSITIONS
THEY DON’T WANT TO BE IN.
STEVE: WELL LET’S SEE WHAT THEY
DO.
I SEE THE HOUSTON SKY SCAPE
BEHIND YOU, THE
SKYLINE, DOWN IN TEXAS.
THE FOX DRONE TEAM TOOK A SHOT,
DAN, OF ABOUT $100 MILLION WORTH
OF THE BORDER WALL AND BORDER
WALL SUPPLY THAT THEY SIMPLY ARE
NOT GOING TO USE.
IT’S JUST GOING TO STAY THERE
UNTIL WHO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS.
TEXAS WIND BLOWS IT AWAY.
BRIAN: UNTIL WE GET A
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT.
STEVE: THIS IS ONE OF THE
REASONS WHY PEOPLE HATE
WASHINGTON.
YOU ARE CALLING FOR THE
IMPEACHMENT OF THE
SECRETARY OF HOMELAND
SECURITY MAYORKAS AFTER
CANCELING THIS.
EXPLAIN MORE.
>> SO YEAH, I DON’T JUST SAY
THAT.
I DON’T USE THAT TERM LOOSELY.
I DON’T THINK IT’S A GOOD THING
TO DO.
I THINK SOME PEOPLE SCREAM
IMPEACHMENT EVERY TIME A
POLITICIAN DOES SOMETHING THEY
DON’T LIKE.
I’M NOT DOING THAT HERE.
THERE’S VERY CLEAR EXAMPLES OF
DELIBERATE DERELICTION OF
CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY ON THE PART
OF THE SECRETARY OF HOMELAND
SECURITY.
STEVE: TO PROTECT THIS COUNTRY.
>> IT ACTUALLY, IT HAS VERY
LITTLE TO DO WITH THE
CANCELLATION OF THE BORDER
WALL CONTRACTS.
I THINK THAT’S INFURIATING, BUT
THE REAL DERELICTION OF DUTY IS
SIMPLY REFUSAL TO ACTUALLY
ENFORCE THE LAWS OF OUR COUNTRY.
THOSE LAWS MIGHT BE OUR ASYLUM
PROCESS LAWS, THOSE LAWS MIGHT
BE INTERNAL ENFORCEMENT INSIDE
WHERE DEPORTATIONS ARE NECESSARY
, THOSE LAWS MIGHT BE
SIMPLY CROSSING THE BORDER
ILLEGALLY AND THE ONLY ACTION
THAT DHS HAS TAKEN HAS BEEN
AGAINST THOSE BORDER AGENTS
TRYING TO DO THEIR JOB ON
HORSEBACK, TRYING TO STOP PEOPLE
FROM RUSHING THE BORDER, SO THIS
IS VERY DELIBERATE AND THE
INTENT MATTERS WHEN YOU’RE
ACCUSING SOMEBODY OF WHAT IS
EFFECTIVELY A CRIME, AND IN THIS
CASE, I THINK HE DESERVES
IMPEACHMENT, ABSOLUTELY.
BRIAN: HE KNOWS BETTER, NOW THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES WILL HAVE A VIRTUAL G-20
TODAY AND DISCUSS COORDINATION,
YOU SHOULDN’T EVEN USE THAT WORD
WITH AFGHANISTAN, BUT
COORDINATION ON AFGHANISTAN.
THE TALIBAN, BY THE WAY, ADDED
TO US, THAT THEY WILL NOT DO
ANYTHING TO STOP ISIS OR AL
QAEDA BUT WE ARE AGREEING TO
GIVE HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE.
I WOULD LIKE TOTAL TRANSPARENCY
ON THAT.
WHAT IS YOUR TAKE?
IF HE DOESN’T GET AN EARFUL FROM
THE NATO WHOSE LEFT OUT IN THE
COLD IN THE G-20, I DON’T
KNOW WHEN THEY WILL.
THEY ARE PROBABLY GOING TO LET
THEM HAVE IT, I IMAGINE.
>> WELL, I WOULD HOPE SO.
I THINK THE REST OF THE WORLD IS
FRUSTRATED WITH HOW BIDEN PULLED
OUT OF AFGHANISTAN AND LEFT US
WITH THIS MESS, WHICH YOU’RE
GOING TO CONTINUE TO HEAR HORROR
STORIES COMING OUT OF
AFGHANISTAN WHETHER IT’S GIRLS
SCHOOLS CLOSING, GIRLS BEING
KIDNAPPED, PUBLIC HANGINGS, THE
ECONOMY COMPLETELY CRASHING,
ALL OF IT.
I MEAN, NONE OF THIS WAS DONE
RESPONSIBLY.
I’D BE INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT
KIND OF HUMANITARIAN AID THE G-
20 COMES UP WITH, BUT
LOOK, WE CAN’T TRUST THE TALIBAN
THEY WON’T WORK WITH US ON ANY
COUNTERTERRORISM, THEY SAID THAT
MULTIPLE TIMES, WE’LL TAKE CARE
OF IT OURSELVES AND TAKE CARE OF
ISIS.
NOW THEY MAY NOT LIKE ISIS
BECAUSE THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH
THEM INTERNALLY BUT THEY
CERTAINLY LIKE AL QAEDA AND THERE’S NO REASON TO THINK THEY
THERE’S NO REASON TO THINK THEY
ARE GOING TO STOP AL QAEDA.
IN FACT THEY ARE BACK ON TRACK
TO GROW AND RECONSTITUTE SO THIS
IS A PROBLEM OF EPIC SCALE.
AINSLEY: CONGRESSMAN, TELL US
ABOUT YOUR NEW BOOK, THE
CHILDREN’S BOOK.
>> SURE, SO LOOK WE LOOK AT
THIS PROBLEM WHERE KIDS ARE
EXPOSED TO PLENTY OF CHILDREN’S
BOOKS THAT ARE WOKE AND
PROGRESSIVE, OFTEN AS WE’RE SEE
ING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY,
SCHOOLS ARE INFUSING CRT WITHIN
THEIR CURRICULUM, THEY HIDE IT
UNDER THE GUISE OF DIVERSITY
AND INCLUSION, IT’S TIME FOR
CONSERVATIVE PARENTS TO BE
ABLE TO PICK FROM A SET OF TOOLS
AND PROVIDE THAT TO THEIR CHILD,
SO I PARTNERED WITH BRAVE BOOKS
AND GO TO BRAVEBOOKS.COM, IT’S
THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN GET IT,
NOT ON AMAZON, AND YOU CAN GET
MY BOOK IT’S THE MOST RECENT
IN WHAT’S GOING TO BE A LONG
SAGA.
A SAGA THAT SECKERS ITSELF
AROUND FREEDOM ISLAND, A LOT OF
THE SAME LOCATIONS, WHEN YOU GET
THIS BOOK, THEY GET A MAP OF
FREEDOM ISLAND AND IT’S VERY
INTERACTIVE, AND YOU’LL GET A
MISSION AND A COOL ENVELOPE, AND
GAMES TO PLAY WITH YOUR PARENTS
IN THE BACK OF THE BOOK TO
HAMMER IN THE LESSONS THAT WE’RE
TRYING TO TEACH, AND AS YOU CAN
IMAGINE MIGHT BE ABOUT CANCEL
CULTURE.
SO MY BOOK IS ABOUT CANCEL
CULTURE, HOW TO OVERCOME IT AND
WHAT CANCEL CULTURE IS AND WHAT
IT ISN’T BECAUSE WE PUT THAT
INTO A FUN STORY KIDS CAN RELATE
TO.
STEVE: IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU PUT A
LOT OF WORK INTO IT FOR FOLKS
WHO WOULD LIKE TO GET IT IT’S AT
BRAVEBOOKS.COM.
CALLED FAME, BLAME, AND THE RAFT OF SHAME.
OF SHAME.
HE’S A RHYMER.
AINSLEY: DAN, WHAT AGE-GROUP?
>> OH,, YOUNG.
DEFINITELY FOR YOUNGER KIDS.
PROBABLY UNDER EIGHT, BUT --
AINSLEY: ALL RIGHT I’LL GO BUY
IT.
BRIAN: GOOD.
THANKS, DAN APPRECIATE IT.
>> THANKS.
STEVE: ALTHOUGH, I BET A LOT OF
KIDS OVER 8 WOULD PROBABLY LIKE
IT TOO.
AINSLEY: PARENTS DO WANT TO KNOW
HOW TO TALK TO THEIR KIDS ABOUT
THESE TOPICS.
BRIAN: TELL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS AFTER YOU HAND THEM
