A
The five. Hi, I'm Greg Gutfeld along with Emily Campagno, Jessica Tarloff, Jesse Waters, and she often gets picked up at the beach by seagulls. Dana Perino, the Five. Operation Epic fury, racking up epic explosions. President Trump telling the New York Post, quote, we're not going to be there too much longer. We're obliterating the BLEEP out of them right now. Case in point, a huge fireball erupting after a 2000 pound bunker buster bomb turned an Iranian ammunitions depot into a Fourth of July finale. Pete Exif says there's more where that came from. If the regime doesn't wise up.
- [00:48]
B
Iran is wise.
- [00:51]
A
They will cut a deal. President Trump doesn't bluff and he does not back down. President Trump will make a deal. He is willing to and the terms of the deal are known to them. If Iran is not willing, then the United States War Department will continue with even more intensity. I didn't mean it flippantly when I said in the meantime, we'll negotiate with bombs. But Democrats don't want you to believe your lie. Nice.
- [01:17]
B
We know Donald Trump is a serial liar. Of course, the big lie he told the country was that he was going to keep us out of foreign wars and not drag us into another war in the Middle East. We also know he's been lying when he claimed that we were in direct negotiations with the Iranians and that they're going to give us everything we wanted.
- [01:38]
C
You said that the president's not really negotiating with Iran. Is that because you haven't been briefed as a member of Congress on the diplomacy or you think he's flat out lying?
- [01:47]
A
Oh, I think he's flat out lying. And if calling Trump a liar doesn't work, why not call our military Nazis?
- [01:55]
B
Our military up until this administration reflected for the most part our country, it represented all the various religions, all the very various races, all the various ethnic backgrounds, all the different the genders.
- [02:10]
A
And that is being dismantled piece by
- [02:12]
B
piece by piece by making the military to be a white nationalist organization is absolutely reminiscent of Germany 1933 through 1939.
- [02:22]
A
And we cannot go there. Oh, man, Dana, there's so many people adding to the noise.
- [02:29]
D
Yeah.
- [02:29]
A
No one adds any information or tries to like really extreme. It was extreme. I mean, I don't know where they found him. And Chris Van Hollen, he never said foreign wars. He said forever wars. So I kind of leads me to a general question. Who do you listen to in this situation? You know, you have people who are like Joey Jones or Rob o'. Neill. But then you have Iranians with a firm grasp of this situation. But there aren't a lot because we don't hear from them. So who do you listen to when you're listening to the administration and you listen to these people?
- [03:03]
D
How do you get, I think if you are an omnivorous consumer of news and information, so you get a little bit of everything, then you do. You certainly have your favorites or people that you trust. So like a General Jack Keane or a Joey Jones. And I would put, for example, there's some podcasts I like, like Call Me Back, which is by Dan Senor, has a lot of great guests on it. The thing is, as I'm listening to that, imagine that Iran was able to get the nuclear weapon on Donald Trump's watch. And Donald Trump had not done anything about it. And he knew that they were this close to having it. And he knew that the Israelis said, we have a chance because we've done. We've decimated their capabilities in all sorts of ways. But there's this one more piece and we need you, Mr. President. And President Trump said, nope, not going to do it. And the next president comes along and now we have a bigger problem on our hands. Could have been the other way too, right? What if Biden had found out that they were this close, weeks away from having a bomb and didn't do anything? How would everybody have felt in the world? Things might have been much worse. So this was always going to be complicated. And the situation is very complex. It's very complicated. The solutions are complex and complicated. We are about two thirds of the way through the six weeks that President Trump initially said, now he says a lot of things. We've won, we've not won. There's a lot. And also there's a big delta between unconditional surrender and this negotiated deal that apparently the Iranians know the terms of. I don't know. And I think that the President, because he likes to keep his cards close to his vest and keep everybody guessing. That's why people are guessing. So I would guess from my standpoint to just say, like, I don't know. Jerry Baker has a great piece in the Wall Street Journal. He said, if you think it's won or you think it's lost, you are not telling the truth. Yes, we don't know.
- [04:54]
A
And you're betraying your intelligence. Nobody. I don't think anybody knows.
- [04:57]
D
I'm really smart, cuz I don't know anything.
- [04:59]
A
No, that's the sign of a smart person is the ability to say, I don't know. Which weird, because Jesse never says I don't know. But what do you know, Jesse?
- [05:09]
B
Well, it's so funny. So we know because we're in television when you book a guest like that that they're gonna accuse the military of being Nazis. So there's only two options. You know what he's gonna say, cuz the booker pre interviews the guest. So you wanna put someone on the air to call soldiers Nazis. That's a programming decision by msnbc.
- [05:31]
A
Or.
- [05:31]
B
And you've had this happen on your show, guest just comes out and just says something and you're like, my God. Either way it's horrible. But we don't even listen to these people anymore. The US air campaign is really starting to take its toll because whatever happened last night, this bunker buster on this underground missile city may have changed the course of the war because now all of a sudden the Iranian president comes out and says he wants a cease fire and the market rallies 3%. So this Pentagon press conference today, I took away a few things. Pete says morale is sky high. He says the intelligence is starting to show you're seeing mass desertions among the IRGC and the next few days will be decisive. Then Cain comes out and says the targeting has changed. We're now doing dynamic targeting so you can refuel the B50 twos as they're over the target. They get a new target. New intel, kid. Keep dropping. And we're starting to hit nuclear R and D site storage facilities. We're really starting to step it up. And the bombing runs and the tempo has increased as we're bringing the marines and some of these paratroopers into theater to give the President more options and also tell the Iranians we have these options now. Greg, I don't understand what's going on with the strait. The President is being very cagey. You have to think before you send in men to do raids on the coastline or the island and ships. You have to make sure the Iranian targets are destroyed so they can't threaten that operation. That hasn't happened yet. That could be another week, maybe two. Trump's probably thinking once the Iranians are so vulnerable and weak and we have the ability to conduct a raid like that, they may sue for peace to stop Karg from getting taken. I don't know. And we also have 40 foreign navies who've signed up to join, but they don't want to come in during hostilities. Trump may also be goading these foreign navies to get off their, you know, what's, and get in on the action because we don't use a lot of the oil that comes out of that strait. I have no idea what's going on. Or he could raid when the market closes after Friday, who knows. But I know he's frustrated with the negotiations. And the New York Times reports it today the regime is so fractured, they don't trust each other. They're all underground, no one's on a phone. And so they can't really propose a counter proposal soon enough for Trump to be happy with the time frame. I think that's what's going on.
- [08:02]
A
Interesting analysis. I kind of zoned out during it, but I think it was good.
- [08:06]
B
Okay. Most people didn't.
- [08:07]
A
Yes. All right, Jessica, I have a thoughtful question for a change to you. So I, I don't know what's true. So I try to fill the gaps between the facts with hope and faith that this will work out. It will work out effectively because I have faith in this country. I have a faith in the president. I'm curious because I don't think you believe you know everything either. You're like me. What do you fill your gaps with if you don't know the truth? What, what do you rely upon?
- [08:36]
C
I rely upon reporters who have had long careers in foreign policy who are based in the region or have excellent sourcing in the region because as Dana pointed out, you can't really talk to many Iranians at this point.
- [08:51]
A
Who's in there, by the way? What are the reporters?
- [08:53]
C
I mean, what there are, I mean, in the region, there aren't. I mean, I would not be at a Tehran bureau right now, but the New York Times, the economists, the ftse, they're all over there. We have great foreign reporting coming and our coverage out of Israel is top of the line. And you see it, you see Trey Yang splattered all over the other networks too, where they're taking his reporting.
- [09:13]
A
So I would, I would say that falls in the fact area. What about the things you don't know? How do you, how do you, when you come here and you sit down, how do you talk about something you don't know?
- [09:26]
C
I think that I admit that I don't know things and that I want to err on the side of optimism where there's opportunities to do that, but that I also want to be clear headed based upon the things that I do know from the reporters who have experience in this and know better. So that's how I prepare to come here on a daily basis to address, loosely speaking, the same question every day. Because we have been doing this. That's why I asked.
- [09:51]
A
Question.
- [09:51]
C
No, I understand that. And I just wanted to pick up on what Jesse was saying about the Strait of Hormuz, because last night the Wall Street Journal, who knows better than I do, was reporting that President Trump was opening open to leaving the strait closed with the US Withdrawal. And then this morning he had his truth social post where he basically said, you know, the rest of you, this is going to be your problem, right? Like we may go and you've got to figure it out. And then throughout the course of the day, the Italians, the Spanish, the Polish have said, you know, we're not really interested in getting involved in this. And they're not showing up right now to escort these tankers through or to help us secure the strait, which leaves Iran in a very powerful position. They are charging whatever they want for this oil. Russia is making more money. We've been working very hard to hurt them economically. They're having a good time. China's getting what they want and everyone else is getting squeezed. Europeans are talking about, you know, taking a break from air travel. All over Asia, there are shortages and that's a really big problem and something that we have caused and I think have a responsibility to deal with. I just want to say something about the Chris Van Holland and the Jim Himes of the world and their questioning of this. It is not just Democrats. Last night Laura Ingraham on her show said, we still have a lot of questions. For instance, was the president fully briefed on the risks of all of this from the beginning? And was he able to take, to take it all in and understand how complex it could actually get, including the potential for casualties or other damage? Or was he told this would be relatively quick and in and out operation? And then CNN is reporting today about a meeting that happened with President Trump and Secretary Hegseth and other top officials once Trump had decided that he did want to go in. And they were talking about how Hegseth was downplaying some of the risks of this conflict spiraling, some of those risks that we may be seeing now not only with the potential for casualties, but for the strait to perhaps remain closed and in control exclusively of the Iranians.
- [11:52]
A
Okay, Emily.
- [11:55]
E
Well, you didn't ask me, but I'm gonna take a stab at answering that question. Well, no, I want to answer like how I fill in the gaps because I was thinking about how, you know, as these journalists and these talking heads are all saying that this president is lying. They know with certainty that everything out of his mouth is a lie. Think about to myself what establishes veracity and credibility when you do trust someone, when you trust your spouse going out and you trust your par growing up in these things, what is it? And it's what is demonstrated. And so I look at this president, his first term and this one, and I think about how he has demonstrated to me with every policy decision, every action that he is prioritizing American interests. And he's doing it in the macro sense, which means policy, which means judicial appointments, which means everything from, you know, voting approaching to trade negotiation and tariffs and everything. And the micro sense of protecting our soldiers. And I think about in the Obama administration when he prosecuted journalists and you contrast that with this president who gives 10 off the cuff interviews a day at least. I think about the Biden administration that prosecuted soldiers for murder and contractors and Hillary Clinton applauding this on and calling, demanding some accountability on that part. And then you have this president that restores voices to the soldiers, that restores their paychecks to them, that restores some type of grace to them that they weren't extended in prior administration. So I know too that I don't know anything. But what I fill the gaps in with is a faith that this president has my best interest in mind both in that macro and in that micro sense, and that he will with every decision determine what is best for our country and for our soldiers.

Honoring murder victims is now divisive. Democrats in Rhode island have canceled a mural honoring Irina Zarutska. She's the Ukrainian woman who was brutally murdered by a career criminal. In Charlotte, North Carolina, Providence Mayor Brett Smiley defending the move in a statement saying that the murder of the individual depicted in this mural was a devastating tragedy. But the misguided, isolating intent of those funding murals like this across the country is divisive and does not represent Providence. And in Chicago, just a few weeks after college student Sheridan Gorman was murdered by an illegal immigrant, Mayor Brandon Johnson is sounding off on crimes against illegal immigrants. Johnson making these comments on the same day Gorman was laid to rest.
- [15:10]
A
We have to end the assaults against immigrants. We have to get active. First of all, we have to make sure that we're participating in our democratic process. We've already seen Elections shift around this country, so things are happening. We have signed multiple executive orders to force ICE out of the city of Chicago.
- [15:29]
D
Right, Just calling back to the first segment. I wonder where he gets his information because it seems like he's only absorbing the information from one side of things.
- [15:38]
A
Oh, it's deliberate. A woman will get pushed in front of a subway train. And Brandon Johnson would call it a hate crime against public transportation. I believe that there's a group of leftists who just don't like people. They don't even like their own people. And I mean their own people, meaning their own flesh, their own color. Or else they would try to help them. They love identity, they love ideology more than the flesh and the blood and the soul behind the eyes of the people that they consider collateral, you know, collateral to their march toward progressive utopia which ends in so many lives. There's no question that we believe that Irina is a victim. And I think that, you know, Democrats probably do, but if we didn't bring her up, would they? Of course not. And we had to hear George Floyd's name every single day and hold back our disgust that a violent felon who was on a lethal dose of opiates became a Christ like symbol. So vaunted that we suspended our laws and allowed cities to burn billions, billions in dollars of destruction. And people died because the media and the left chose the victim, the approved victim. We need a scorecard for victims. George Floyd, a drug fueled felon victim. An illegal immigrant gang banger, soon to be deported victim. A young recidist felon. Obviously an oppressed childhood that makes him a victim. He needs to be paroled in San Francisco. A young woman murdered by a fiend allowed to roam the streets, not a victim. I don't know. Why? Is it because she's white? I don't know. A young woman is murdered by illegals, not a victim. Why is it cuz she's white? I don't know. An elderly Air Force veteran pushed in front of a subway trained by illegal dead, not a victim. And I'm not saying they don't think they're victims. I believe they erase their tragedy, which is the message that they don't matter. And the priority of victimhood run by the identity police. In a correct world, every female politician would have marched for ARENA and demanded justice reform legislation. Judges would be held accountable, but no, even AOC the wouldn't speak for the girl who was murdered from her own high school. This is how ideology trumps compassion.
- [18:02]
D
Yeah, it erases it. I don't understand, Emily, did the. Is the accusation by the mayor in Rhode island that the mural was illegal. Why would they. The owners are going to take it down. But why?
- [18:17]
E
Well, I think he might be arguing that it wasn't like a publicly approved, licensed piece of art, essentially, versus a private property doing with it as you will. He also said, and I think that his greater argument was that it doesn't reflect the values of Providence. He said, so the question is, what values then are you reflecting? And I was thinking about all of the. We talked in the earlier conversation about actions, and actions speak so much louder than words. And think about the actions that we have seen throughout the country. So we have that mural painted over. We have. Remember Sheridan Gorman's school paper that apologized for using the accurate, legal and factual term illegal immigrant to describe her alleged murderer. What about the exhibit in Seattle, all about J.K. rowling's work? I almost said the Hobbit, the Tolkien.
- [19:07]
D
No, Harry Potter.
- [19:09]
E
Yeah, Harry Potter. And her name was not on the exhibit. They had an entire huge museum worth of Harry Potter. But because they said that she was transphobic, her name wasn't even on the creator of that univers. Totally. Just like they are erasing all of us. I mean, that's an apt thing. You know, in Berkeley, cops can't get coffee. Like, the list goes on about how people are not served proverbially and literally, and that somehow, though, this narrative is what allows them to speak publicly. Like, how is it that people don't rise up and say, actually, my values are that we align with victims. My values are that we prosecute criminals. I had a friend that was, you know, she calls herself a revolutionary. I mean, I say had in the past tense, but I was asking her about the women's march, if she was gonna participate. She said, well, every day of mine is a women's march. Everything I do is a women's march. And I think about that all of these actions are demonstrating, again, demonstrating all of their values. So it doesn't matter really what they're gonna say to you, what they're going to. These actions are so much more detrimental when your police force can't get coffee, when your governor can't have a meal, when you can't paint a mural paying honor to someone whose life was extinguished too early in a preventable way. Or what does that say about your values? Plenty.
- [20:24]
D
Jessica, what. What do you think is motivating somebody like a Brandon Johnson to say what he does in Chicago?
- [20:32]
C
I think he's banking on the fact that only a few people are really going to be paying attention to majority of the things that he's saying that it's going to like, we'll talk about it, or it might get somewhere on conservative media, but that's not something that most people in Chicago are paying attention to. And he's just going to go about his business or he's really a true believer that thinks I'm here for a finite amount of time and I have this particular agenda and I'm going to do whatever it takes to enact it. Even if there are people who live in Chicago, black and brown people, showing up at town halls telling me that they want a change in the course of action. Right. These are not people who want to be Republicans, who are not going to turn into Republicans. They're saying a true Democratic Party, a true liberal party is going to treat crime and policing more seriously than it has been. I wanted to see something also on the Mural. It seems like the fact that Elon Musk has said that he's giving a million dollars towards it had an effect on this. So Musk saw online that it was going up and said, oh, I want to give a million dollars. And Elon Musk is obviously a lightning rod political issue. You know, gave whatever 250 to $300 million to Donald Trump's reelection and it's on the side of an LGBTQ plus club. And so I think all of that was kind of like a perfect storm. But Mayor Smiley, when this came up again, I was thinking back to the shooting at Brown and how terribly that was handled on every single level of law enforcement. And I would just want my head down and to be focused on, I don't know what you do after something like that happens on your campus or within your district. And then the guy goes on, obviously, to mit.
- [22:14]
D
Strange thing. Rhode island pumps out a lot of news for a little state. Jesse. It's interesting that a Musk million dollar donation to honor a victim would have this kind of a result when you could get billions of dollars from foreign billionaires for a no Kings protest, to Astroturf. All of that across the country. The world, really.
- [22:31]
B
Yeah. The Koch brothers, I think, built like the New York Philharmonic. They slapped their name on it. It was like $300 million. And Liberals were mad. They still went to the Philharmonica. Liberals will step over syringes, they'll step over vagrants, they'll blow off crime, they'll walk by buildings with graffiti all over them. They won't say anything, they won't Even try to clean it up. But someone puts a mural of a dead woman who got knifed in her neck by a repeat felon, and all of a sudden there's this, like, groundswell of liberals and that get the mayor of the city involved. Come on, you're a mayor, you're involved with a mural. And this is probably like nine liberals, right? Probably nine. And they're that loud and that obnoxious that they got the attention of the mayor, and all of a sudden this thing's coming down. Do the liberals want their cities to be civilized? Do they want them to be beautiful? Do they want them to be safe? I don't know. Is now the answer? Because every time there's an option, they always choose disgusting sidewalks and filth. Now, why aren't Republicans allowed to express themselves artistically, emotionally? Why can't we have immural? Greg, hit it. We saw all of a sudden, George Floyd, every time you went downtown, in any city in the country, I see Barack, I see Kamala on the walls, I see Tupac, I see guys I don't even know. But do I say anything?
- [24:07]
A
What about. What about your pride murals? Sure can't.
- [24:11]
B
You can't not see them every time you go downtown in any city now I walk by them and what do I do? I don't call the mayor. I don't try to, like, deface them. I say I respect my fellow Americans, the people that they love, and I keep walking. Why am I more tolerant than all of you?

Blue states are getting high on Zoran supply and want to take another hit. Progressives without answers on affordability are looking to their same tired, far left playbook. Tax the rich Axios. Reporting activists are pushing a wealth tax as a litmus test for Democrats in 28. And leading the charge, Senator Bernie Sanders firing up his socialist comrades, saying, Americans who don't want to pay high taxes, don't believe in democracy. They are extortionists.
- [25:58]
A
And what they are saying, if you are successful, California is successful. We, the billionaires, are going to leave California, New York City. You're successful raising taxes. We're going to leave New York City. In America, if we raise taxes, we're all going to go to billionaires. We'll go to Saudi Arabia and be with their fellow autocrats and oligarchs over there. What they are saying in so many words is they don't believe in democracy.
- [26:25]
B
Dana.
- [26:26]
D
Well, okay. So while he was talking, something occurred to me. So one of the things that I feel that they do not support in the Bernie Sanders world is freedom. Okay? And I'm talking like economic freedom. So I think about my great grandparents. They left Italy in the 1880s, early 1880s. They come to America. Why? Because they wanted economic freedom. They wanted the chance at a better life. They wanted. They were stuck in their position and they wanted to do better. So they couldn't make enough money, so they wanted to move. So then my family's successful. They ranch, they homestead, they all these things. And then now the government wants to take that. Right? So why shouldn't somebody who has been successful have the economic freedom to leave? And places like California and Massachusetts, for example, because they just had this. The results, they are not demanding any changes that would increase the value proposition for someone to stay. So like, so let's say if Massachusetts, who did this, I just checked with my friend. They lost $4.2 billion in income when they got. When they put in their new taxes. Where did it go? New Hampshire. What do you have in New Hampshire? More freedom. So that would like, we're in America 250. And if we want to keep this republic going, we should talk a lot more about freedom, individual freedom and economic freedom. Freedom of whatever you're looking for. Probably going to bring up choice. Okay, I get it. But the freedom to be able to make your decisions, to make your money. California lost a trillion dollars overnight. Gavin Newsom made a choice. He has the freedom to make that choice, but so do those people. And the whole purpose of America has been the invention and opportunities in the States. What was the gold rush? Why did people go there? There's nothing there. But they go there because they wanted to do something. Well, guess what? The gold rush is over. Because there's no value proposition to encourage the people to stay. And let's say someplace like Minnesota, if the governor said, we are going to fix finally these fraud problems, stay with Us. I promise you we'll fix those. Maybe as a small business owner that made a million dollars, you'd say, okay, I love this place. This is my home. My great grandparents settled here. I want to stay here. But if there's no improvement in your quality of life, why would you stay?
- [28:43]
B
Great point, Stan. I just don't know what homesteading is.
- [28:46]
D
Don't know the homestead.
- [28:47]
B
I'm kidding.
- [28:48]
D
Add it to your Bible study, Greg.
- [28:51]
B
Freedom, Bruce.
- [28:53]
A
Freedom. All right. You pay taxes on the money you earn. You pay taxes on your investments. A wealth tax is a tax on their total value. That's a third layer of. That's tyranny. I mean, it's amazing that the same people who marched on no. Kings Day are the same people who literally want to steal your assets. That means that they get to look at everything you have. Your house, your car, your jewelry, your appliances, your neck massager. Dana. And they can take a cut when they of things that have already been taxed before, because buying a burger and a Coke. But burgers, two, you know, three bucks, the Coke's a buck. And then you go up there and they go, it's $8. Oh, yeah. Well, we charge you separately, and then we charge an extra tax on top of it. No, no, no, no, no. That is tyranny. That is a king. At a certain point, a young, open minded person, we have a lot of viewers and a lot of young people. They usually come for the sex appeal, but they stay for the brains. If you're a young, open minded person, you have to ask, why is the solution to every issue that the Democrats approach attacks. Why is it always, here's the solution? I'll tell you why. Because they know you're a sucker, right? You tell your constituents, look, you're gonna get all this stuff and it's gonna be free. Don't worry. We're gonna take it from them. And you're like, that sounds pretty good. I get all this free stuff. Dana pays for it, Jesse pays for it. I don't like you if you're interested in that, because you're stealing from people who are successful and want to do well in this country. And all you're doing saying is, I don't have to do anything. I'll just take from them. This is war.
- [30:39]
B
It will become that. Because how will that work? What are agents going to someone's house looking at the kind of art they're hanging over their fireplace, looking through their jewelry box, looking in their safe? This is getting kind of sick.
- [30:52]
D
Yeah.
- [30:53]
E
And by the way we saw a taste of it during COVID when the Democrats wielded the administrative state as criminal. Remember you got prosecuted for operating your license or operating without a license that they took away. Guys, we saw. The reason that we revolted, the reason that we are America is because of that economic prosperity. The ability to not have to tithe 99% of your income to a king. The concept that you were not limited simply by what you inherited from your dad and you're a son and that's all you will ever be in your station. That freedom to, to prosper and move around. And yet here now we're being told that yes, your property is now taxed. So let's take Washington state for example. Because I think that spirit is exactly what all of those laws there have derived from. Even though I think people now equate it with Seattle and you know, blue haired freaks. But the reality is that Washington was where you went to be independent, right? That was the logging spirit. That was like doing whatever you wanted. That free spirit that could not be impacted in any way. So they've had on their books that this hundred year plus law that says, correct you only 1% of your property, that's a cap. And they say this is unconstitutional. This 9.9% wealth income tax is what I'm talking about. And then you have the senator from Vermont who's been occupying that position for 35 years, we've been paying him and he flies first class to LA to demand that those billionaires are taxed. You have the senator from Connecticut, Chris Murphy, also traveling to LA to advocate for those taxes. Taxes. You have Gavin Newsom that proposes that Californians who dare to have property in other countries get taxed on that. And you are saying that Trump is the king. I mean these people are a joke. But you are right, they are robbing us blind.

They're kind of chasing their most successful people out of the state. Jessica, is this a winning formula?
- [32:43]
C
Definitely not. Which is why Gavin Newsom is against a wealth tax and has been consistently, if you look at the European countries that tried it, majority of them had to retreat because they were losing tens of thousands of their wealthiest and most productive. And the people who also give back to the arts and make it into cultural epicenters. I mean France in particular, you know, Paris doesn't work if you don't have wealthy people that continue to give to these incredible institutions and support young artists who come there to make it. Only Norway, Spain and Switzerland still have some form of wealth tax. I think Talking about income tax rates is one thing. Another approach is go out there and talk about closing loopholes and talk about your budget. Right. Like what your priorities are versus the Republicans. I think that is a very salient argument, that there are tax cuts for the rich and that you're having health care taken away from the poor. That's what I would campaign on if I were the senator from Vermont.

Okay.

And we'll look up whatever the Homestead act is up next. The ladies of the View rush to defend childless cat ladies.

The ladies of the View are melting down after a conservative influencer suggested that young women should get married and have families to benefit the country.
- [34:18]
A
Watch.
- [34:20]
D
They used to come after women of
- [34:22]
A
color and accuse women of color of doing this very thing. What is she?
- [34:30]
E
What the.
- [34:30]
D
What? What?
- [34:32]
C
What wraps a woman's worth up in her ovaries?
- [34:36]
A
Really reckless to be suggesting that people should have children when you now know in this country there's this affordability crisis.
- [34:46]
E
The coven speaks. Jessica.
- [34:48]
C
Listen, I'm a breeder. I'm very pro having kids. I don't think anyone should be made to feel badly about their decision. And there are tons of paths towards happiness. I found the greatest joy in being able to have little girls. But I don't like when this gets political. And we do objectively have a population crisis. Like the world. Yeah, we do.
- [35:15]
A
We don't. Look at the. Look at the rates of people having kids in this country. It's not happening. It's bad.
- [35:23]
C
That's what I'm saying. We need more people.
- [35:25]
A
Oh, I thought you went the other way. Sorry.
- [35:26]
B
No.
- [35:26]
C
We have a population crisis. Yes.
- [35:28]
B
Yes.
- [35:28]
A
Yeah, I apologize.
- [35:30]
B
Whoa. Stop the show.
- [35:32]
D
I'm sorry.
- [35:33]
C
I passed out.
- [35:34]
B
March 31, 2026 was an odd, honest apology, too. That was so real.
- [35:41]
D
That was amazing.
- [35:42]
A
I mean, I jumped the gun.
- [35:44]
B
Let's not get carried away. You know, Sonny, to say that the women's ovaries don't have any value. Let me explain the value of the ovary, Sonny. Okay? If we don't have you guys having babies, the human species goes extinct, okay? So I would say your value is almost above the man's value. Actually, it takes two to tango. And I literally mean tango.
- [36:11]
A
Thank you.
- [36:12]
D
You had to do It a lot
- [36:13]
B
of people think women are just baby making machines that should just stay in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant. Just pump it out, do what the man says. I'm not one of those people.
- [36:25]
E
I'll save you by bringing in Dana.
- [36:27]
D
Well, I love this. I mean aren't we supposed to support all women? What happened to supporting all women? Why do they keep doing this over there? Isabel Brown is the woman who brought it up and I think it's hysterical that. So Isabel Brown is a young woman, she has a podcast. She's gonna address this on her show tonight around in about 10 minutes. She's a young woman, she said she's not going to apologize. Interestingly, she and I went to the same high school, had our same speech coach many years apart and she is an articulate young woman. But I think it's hysterical that they view in all of CPAC from the weekend this is the controversial statement they decided to take on.
- [37:03]
E
Do you want to add anything to the yes.
- [37:04]
A
What part of should do they not understand? Nobody said you must believe me. We don't want the view to procreate. Look, all she did was counter decades of anti procreative dogma. It was like the feminist movement and media said you were having too many kids and the result is you look at no kings, you see a bunch of sad old bags waiting for their cats to eat them. The detour from having kids occurred when the argument became about your happiness, your comfort. And you're right, but having kids, there's never going to be an ideal time for it. I made the mistake of thinking there was, but there is none. You don't wait for your finances to be ideal, to have kids because you are going to regret it. Why do you think they made sex so pleasurable? It was to draw us in, to trick us into having kids. Because kids are hard. They make life better, but it's hard. So relying, waiting for the right comfort level, that is a mistake because you're going to miss out on something glorious.

All right guys. Coming up, President Trump reveals a sneak peek at his sky high presidential project.
- [38:18]
C
President Trump giving a first look at his future library in Miami. The renderings show a replica Oval office, Air Force One and a golden escalator. I can't wait. Greg, how do you think it looks?
- [38:31]
A
I have to say this goes back to something I said earlier in the show. Compare this to Obama's library. So you have this which is like attracts people. I want to go there. And then you look at Obama's and it's like, please stay away from me. I don't like people. Right there you have two symbols of two different people. One that says I'm a people pleaser. Another one, I prefer to be alone and I don't want to be around you commoners.
- [38:58]
D
Dana, one thing that's going to be very different for these two libraries is the regulatory pain that the Obamas had to go through to get that bill. And I imagine in Florida this is not going to be a problem for the Trumps.
- [39:08]
C
Breezing through Jesse.
- [39:10]
B
I think it's beautiful and Obama's is disgusting. Next.
- [39:15]
E
Totally. It's like two flowers in the forest. Like one is the like looks hideous and shouts that it's poison. And then the other is like pollinate me. Also, I love that everyone always says Trump has like only billionaire friends. That thing costs $850 million and counting. And all private donors from the Obamas. Who's rubbing shoulders with kings now?
- [39:34]
C
You guys do know how popular Obama is? Yes.
- [39:37]
D
Not. Not around here. Super popular.
- [39:39]
C
Yes, at this table. Dana likes him. We'll go to the library together. One more thing's up next.
- [39:46]
A
I'll meet you guys can write one song.
- [39:49]
B
That's not a body.
- [39:51]
A
You can't. Oh, Dana.
- [39:58]
D
Well, Greg drew on my One more thing and he made a picture of me. I just have a couple more book tour things to announce. So we're gonna be at Books and Greetings in North Vale. We're going to be at Point Pleasant beach at the high school through the Little Pointe bookshop. And I'm going to Brookville, New York. That is Jesse's area through Theodore's Books. Hope you are coming to see me. It's three weeks from today.
- [40:19]
A
All right, tonight we got Timf DeVito, Erin McGuire, Tyrus. That's tonight. 10:00pm It's Jesse. All right.
- [40:26]
B
Emma. Loved Dana's book, by the way. Loved it. Couldn't put it down. Highly endorsed. Check out this crazy video. Skies in Western Australia. Shark Bay turned blood red. This is a tropical cyclone. They're calling it eerie. Some are calling it apocalyptic. I don't really care how it happened. But tonight, Tomi Lahren, Stephen Miller, Clay Travis, Julie Banderas.
- [40:48]
A
Banderas, Jessica.
- [40:50]
C
Okay, most talented toddler. This one year old boy amazed his mother and the rest of us with his block pulling skills in Jenga. He's maybe the first Jenga Prodigy. It's only one.
