[cheers and applause] >> greg: yes, i agree! i agree! happy wednesday, everybody. so every now and then you see something that captures why things everywhere seem to be falling apart these days. no, not just that i'm talking about a theory called chesterton's physicians. the rule is never destroy a fence change a rule or do away with a tradition until you understand why it was there in the first place. i would also add removing a breast implant. wow, dead crowd tonight, huh? >> tyrus: not a lot of breast implants. >> greg: that's good advice on par with don't poop where you eat which is why joe biden no longer has lunch in the oval office. you don't deserve that joke. but chester top's rule goes to the heart of all this chaos. many social constructs that have held things together really come down to fences, metaphorical and literal. fences and rules packed by western values that helped preserve order and make for a good life. it wasn't perfect, but it was a hell of a lot better than the alternatives offered by dick at a timeers in europe asia or the third world. but as the us continues to fumble on the world stage and our campuses ring with the chants of hey hey ho ho western sieve has got to go the fences are coming down faster than hunter biden's pants at a cheerleading camp. what's filling that space is mindless row degrees i haveism which is anything less than progress. the bar bear action are at the gates because we got rid of the gates. in israel the destruction of the literal physicians launched terror attacks by the west bank. in gaza a 25 mile long fence separating the israelis and palestinians. but was also breached was a fence that was also an idea. the idea that western style democracy is preferable to society ruled by a corrupt military cabal who makes saddam hussein look like sandy duncan. it was two tribes separated by fences, but also by centuries. it would be like if george jettison built a mansion next to the flint stones. so of course the american hating western woke elite sides with whatever's been working best which makes israel the oppressors and hamas the resistance. but have they thought this through? do they actually want to sport hamas's system elsewhere? to hamas savages, lgbt stand for let's go bomb and terror ice. it's the same here at home as most of us try to conserve rules and traditions that have made the american system the most successful ever. regress i have progressives are looking to tear down defenses of capitalism and law and order in favor of fundamental change. and it's changing all right. what you're seeing in the streets is what the fence kept at bay, simplistic a moral protests based on lineage and tribal warfare. following the death of george floyd our entire criminal justice system was pegged as institutionally racist. so cash bail went away. shoplifting became reparations, 40 acres and a mule became ten men in speed sticks and 15 tubes of peps dent. defund and incartsration became delightful. is it working? anyone want to buy a bachelor pad in manhattan? i promise to have it fume gated. what happens when you tear down the fence of criminal justice you get new york philly baltimore san fran la portland seattle memphis houston austin. i could keep going but if i do i'll sound like stephen hawking by the time i'm done. is this really what the dems want coast to coast, one wig giant pile of [bleep]. and then there's our southern border the bit of fence with holes you can drive the cast of the view through. president biden is more terrified of his party's left wing than he is of stairs so any notion of defining the idea of the united states is, you guessed it, institutionally racist. if that's true, then every nation on earth is institutionally racist. now it's right about here where a liberal would say greg you're just an entitled privileged cracker what about all the impoverished black and brown people of the world. do you think they would feel. to which i would brilliantly reply, why don't you ask them yourself as they pour over our southern border by the millions to live in a country you hate so much. we're even dismantling the border between genders. personally i'm okay with a fence between the fences, although there's always some genders no fence can contain. if there's no border that can define the sexes you get a generation of dissolutioned unproductive people living in isolation and denial. most of civilization up to the modern age has been a war against regress ive tribalism we created laws and freedoms that were imperfect but were there for a reason and now we have a generation deciding that the fences must come down never mind their initial necessity. now, to have a good life you do need a structure but sadly you get no reward when that structure works, because how do you show the bad things that you stopped if they never really occurred? so the young and naive have a choice between an imperfect unprovable good and the evil it hoots at bay and they choose evil without fail. perhaps the result of a country so successful and decadent it leaves bored mind sidal ideas. so it tears down structures without contemplating them in the first place. that's the law. which reminds me of gutfeld's law some people are you are redeemably stupid and to those i say stay on your side of the fence. >> period! [cheers and applause] >> greg: let's welcome tonight's guests. she's known as the bad girl in her bible study group. host of fox news sunday, shannon bream! [cheers and applause]. >> greg: he loves cooking his liberals medium rare, chef and restauranteur andrew gruel! [cheers and applause] >> greg: it's her eighth straight year being at the top of the naughty list. new york times best selling author and fox news contributor kat timpf! [cheers and applause]. >> greg: and he prefers to do his nut cracking year round. new york times best selling author, comedian and former nwa world champion tyrus! [chee [cheers and applause] >> kat: any number of things. >> tyrus: a nutcracker. >> greg: shannon, i'm sure you're a fan of chesterton. what is the whole purpose for a fence. why is there a fence at all. >> shannon: doesn't it feel like it's healthy to ask those questions everybody is going to push back at things they don't understand especially as a kid. i think about when i was like seven and one of my mom's pillars of western civilization was you could not eat ice cream for breakfast every day. i'm like why not. she was also a teacher at my school i'm not sending in a second grade tasmanian devil to embarrass me. also you don't want to end up op my 600 pound life. >> greg: i love how you condition that you don't want angry letters. >> shannon: i love that show, almost obsessed with it. but i'm asking why, why, why, why. if you are so dead set on an end result you can't even ask why something exists in the first place. >> greg: so you're arguing against fences. >> shannon: no, i'm asking you should at least ask why the fence is there before you get rid of it. >> greg: good point. way over my head shannon, as usual. andrew, so you work as a chef. are there, quote, metaphorical fences and walls you have to protect from absurd trends like what if someone said food doesn't necessarily have to taste good to be cooked and served. i mean they're doing that with insects >> andrew: that's a great question. food is racism. pizza right? let's take petes a classic italian pizza cheese, throw on pepperoni. one topping. now wove like pickled elephant nipple pizza coming from this woke pizzeria on the lower east side. also off topic to that question five seconds i realized what a horrible father i am because my kids had ice cream for breakfast today. >> shannon: i wish i was your kidman man they're probably out there ripping the fence apart right now out of the sugar high. i've said fence so many times after reading about chesterton theory, and i also want to smoke a chesterton. i also think this theory when you look at it at the reverse applies toss the federal government. i know the burden of proof lies with those who want to destroy the he knows if but the government has put the fences up and we have to remove some of the fences. when it comes to the morons on the street who are protesting for whatever reason they don't know or you understand, they have to get out of the way b you but when it comes to the government we have to remove some of the fences there because they're insignificant. >> greg: kat that's an interesting point. on one hand it's hard to prove whether your fence works because you never know the bad thing you caused because it didn't happen. but on the same respect on some fences you don't know if they're actually working at all >> kat: yeah, i think that -- nobody's doing anything about any fences. i think people just yell at each other. this fence is all your fault. there's not examination going on. but it would be helpful if there was, i think. like shannon your question is great. you should know why it's there, you should be thoughtfully considering it. but rather than thoughtfully considering anything people try to think why it's not their fault so they don't have to do anything. it's not your fault, if you don't consider it you don't realize you might be doing something wrong and you might need to change something about yourself. >> greg: if you look at every avenue of turmoil, tyrus, social discourse, history, crime, biology, the decline begins when believeius foundations are destroyed without asking why. >> tyrus: here's the thing. and obviously he's a brilliant man. but his theories are flawed. yeah, that's right, i'm saying it. >> greg: you're going after chesterton? >> tyrus: i'm going after chesterton and here's why. i'm looking at it from a street perspective, right? he has another -- several but one that stood out to me he has about a street lamp. street lamps in the middle of the city is light it's bright some people think it's too bright it is it needs to go and others think it's their light and they need it it all goes to looking to wisdom before you react. so there is a wise great man in charge of the fence, and when they go to the fence they ask i want to tear it down, they ask do you know why the fence is belt, no, go away and come back. with the street lamp it was a monk. but here's the thing, this new genre does not seek wisdom. they don't look to leadership. and they're being -- they're coming up with the understanding that i can attack, there's no consequences. there's no accountability so i don't give a damn what the fence was for. all i know it's in my way and i don't like it and we as a group, the group think tank, the mob, doesn't stop. they run the wise old man over. and lynch him and call him a racist and drag the fence around his neck. because no one seeks wisdom with these groups. when you bring this up with octo, they now the fence in gaza, they crossed it and that fence would protect them from israel, israel and vice versa. you rip the fence down and create a massacre, now the fence is down for them, too. >> greg: yes. >> tyrus: you never once thought, oh, hey, guess what's coming back. they didn't stop to ask the wise men before they do this what would happen. they would say israel's going to release hell on earth on you. they didn't care because the new way of the world is, there's no consequences. they went from monsters to heroes in a news cycle because no one soaks the wisdom anymore. that's problem with it. just put it out there [cheers and applause] >> greg: tyrus is fox's gk chesterton. all right, up next a senator hopes college deans shake in their boots by taxing their woke pursuits. nst rsv with arexvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients. those with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects are injection site pain, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, and joint pain. i chose arexvy. rsv?

senator makes an offer to drain higher ed's coffers. senator ted cotton wants to tax multi billion dollars endowments to fund israel ukraine and border security. but like biden returning from a trip it looks dead on arrival. the 1.6% tax is part of the woken do youment security tax act and would raise more than $15 billion which if you do the mathis almost enough to cover hunter's monthly hooker bill. but respectfully, senator cotton, this seems like more of a political stunt. really, jerry nadler has a greater chance of being named sexiest man alive. wouldn't it be easier to just secure the border with the military and laws we already have? among the colleges he's targeting the action is of evil mit u-penn and harvard. full disclosure they all recruited me to play basketball. but you remember harvard, they're slightly to the left of antifa. according to the new york post they covered up a plainly rich of their president claudine gay and threatened to take the post to court over their probe. they threatened to camouflage i can like black paint over jesse's bald spot. harvard spent weeks to come clean about gay under investigation and only disclosed when they said the governing body stood by her in the wake of the anti-semitism mess. we could use some stone walling like that at the border. and when the post started digging around for evidence they got a 15-page letter from a high powered attorney who identified himself as defamation counsel for gad harvard. but upon closer review, the letter turned out to be 15 random pages from harry potter and the goblet of fire. andrew i want to ask you about the whole thing but first is there such thing as plagiarism in the cooking world? i'm curious because there has to be in your profession. do you actually find chefs that rip off other chefs. >> andrew: oh my gosh it happens all the time. i invented the chowder flies, hand cut fries smothered in clam chowder and every other seafood restaurant took it from there including red lobster but i don't have a team of lawyers to protect me if i did i would tell them to sue my selves. i might sue myself. we do it all the time. recipes are nothing but jazz standards weism vice. i don't want to get too deep let's make this funny, i'll cover myself in clam chowder. the thing about this story is i have no problem punishing these jello factories but you don't do it by taxing. you tax we tack they tax, that's how we get into this. we give $600 million a year to harvard university alone. just remove all that and make them use their own endowment money for it. punish them. >> greg: this what makes me nuts. i'm not for this tax. what do you think of the tax and why are they getting our tax money >> kat: i think it's a horrible idea. well, i always feel that way about taxes. but, yeah, calling it the woke tax, he's admitting that he's doing this because he doesn't like thing that those universities have expressed which i don't think the government should be -- i don't even think they're allowed to legally be punishing people for their speed and that's a really bad road to go down so i'm very, very against it. it would never go through anyway which i think is a good thing. i just can't believe you invented chowder fries. are you being serious. >> andrew: dead serious, cold winter night >> kat: from now i'm going to stand up when you enter the room. i love chowder fries. >> tyrus: i never had them. it's on my list though. you know, i don't -- you can't tax them because that's basically saying what you're doing is okay and you encourage them to do more. if you're serious you cut their federal funding aen then kids wouldn't get scholarships anymore to go to harvard. no, maybe it's time to go somewhere else. things change, harvard has become a buggy whip. because they've shown their faces and i wouldn't want my child going to a school like that, jewish or not, just in general because it depends, it could quickly switch to whomever they decide to go after. the bigger story in this is that, see, this is the thing with equity hires. you have to go all in with the equity hires. they knew about her plagiarism they probably helped her. she was probably hand picked. we see this with equity hires are usually extremely flawed, their only grace is that they look the part. and everyone else fills in the gaps for them because that's virtue signaling. so as long as they do the bidding of the people behind the scenes, they'll stand by them. once she decides to step out and say something off the cuff, then all of a sudden all the stuff will come out. that's the thing p equity hires because they're not stupid when they get in these positions they know they're given those positions and are given a task to do appear follow it to the letter because they're an equity higher. i tell me kids you don't want to be the equity hire. we need a big yellow guy on tuesday-friday to come in and make jokes, tyrus come in. you don't take that job. if they can't describe you physically but they can talk about your when it whit and how good you are at what you do. you want that job. she's the face of the problem. >> greg: right. >> tyrus: but she's not the brains of the outfit clearly she has to be told what to say >> kat: i love that show said i stand by the integrity of my scholarship. i'm going to use that all the time. why are your clothes on the bathroom floor? i stand by the integrity of my scholarship. >> greg: it's impossible to get a competent person if, a, you narrow the pool of applicants to only one type of person, and then you embolden them to think they would never be fired. they don't have to work very hard. she knew no one was going to educate radio her scholarship. she ticked the right boxes so they didn't even read her stuff. shannon what say you on this? >> shannon: well, first of all, i think it's often unfair to the person that you pick if you say ahead of time, this is my criteria, the president's done this a number of time, i'm going to pick an african-american woman to be on the supreme court. because even if they are truly the most qualified wonderful person in the world you'll have people always think was it a diversity appointment. not fair to that person especially if they're qualified. what i love in the middle of this trouble with this president, they're trying to hide eggs have, they threatened the new york post, feels like with this law firm it comes back to them, didn't they say in the report she forgot to add quotation marks and we'll go back and add them. every kid who as gotten kicked out of harvard should say that. i forgot my quotation marks i'll put them back in and we'll forget the plainly rim. >> tyrus: if she put quotation marks it would be at the beginning hello my name is, the rest -- she would have to quote the whole page, as jesse watters would say chunks and chunks. >> greg: the coverup is always worse than the crime. this reminds me what they did to the post of hunter biden. remember the 51 intel experts and the letter, in this case they're trying to suppress a story. and if this were going in a different direction, i
