[Jessica Tarlock]

People.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Hi, I'm Greg Gutfeld along with Emily Campagno, Jessica Tarlock, Jesse waters and Kayleigh McEnany. The five the conflict between Israel and Iran raging for a fifth day. Earlier, President Trump met with his National Security Council after repeatedly telling Iran that they can't have a nuke. He also warned their so called supreme leader that America knows where he's hiding and he could be taken out. Let's go right to Trey Yingst live in Tel Aviv. Hey, Trey.

[Trey Yingst]

Hey, Greg. Good afternoon. Right now the Israeli security cabinet is meeting, trying to determine the next steps in the war against Iran. It comes as the region waits to see if the United States will get more directly involved. Today we saw Iranian ballistic missiles target targeting cities across Israel, sending millions of people to bomb shelters. But Israel continues its offensive against Iran, not only targeting positions around the capital of Tehran, but taking out ballistic missile launchers near the isfah facility. The IDF telling Fox News today that around 40% of those missile launchers have been taken out. Now, I spoke earlier with an Israeli pilot who's been running many of these operations across Iranian territory. He said that the missions will continue and that Israel was able to take out much of the air defense around the Iranian capital, giving this country the ability to strike where and when they please. The Israelis have not yet gone after Iranian political leadership, but officials are telling me tonight everything remains on the table as the region braces for more days of war ahead. Greg.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Thanks, Trey. Be safe. So President Trump is now facing a big choice. Either help Israel destroy Iran's nuke facility or continue to negotiate. Axios reports that Trump is seriously considering joining the war on Iran and launching a strike against its nuclear facilities. However, President Trump is still open to a deal, but says it could depend on his mood.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

Are you open to negotiating with the Iranians right now or do you want to wait?

[Greg Gutfeld]

I don't know. I've been negotiating. I told them to do the deal.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

They should have done the deal.

[Emily Campagno]

The cities have been blown to pieces, lost a lot of people.

[Greg Gutfeld]

They should have done the deal. I told them do the deal.

[Trey Yingst]

So I don't know, I'm not too.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Much in a mood to negotiate. So, Kayleigh on the right, we have a big difference of opinion here. But unlike the left, we're not afraid to show it and, you know, all the players involved. So I guess I got to ask you, I want to talk about that thing. Should it matter that the mood of America, they voted for a guy who wanted to concentrate on America first. First we got the Guy in. And now we're here almost participating in a war. How do you explain that? Say to your MAGA friends, you know, the Tuckers and the Bannons, you know, or then you have the other side, the Rubios and the Mike Waltzes. How do you. What do you say?

[Kayleigh McEnany]

So I observed America first up front and personal in term one. And what I learned about President Trump, he's a man of action, not words.

[Trey Yingst]

He.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

He's not a novel Chamberlain. He is a Churchill. He is not someone who sits in a beach chair and lets history happen to him. He makes history. He acts strategically. He acts when it's in our interest. When he took out Soleimani, when he took out Al Baghdadi, when he acted in Syria, when they used chemical weapons on their own people, every dictator in the world observed that. And you know what happened? Putin, for the first time in four presidencies, did not invade a sovereign country the last and final year of his presidency. Not a single single American troop died in Afghanistan. You look ISIS dismantled. He's not words, he is action. How is Bannon and the folks that you mentioned and the people advocating for just sitting back and taking it easy? How are they any different than Biden's foreign policy? Biden's foreign policy was, I say don't, and Putin does. I say don't, and the Taliban takes over Afghanistan. I say don't, and two, global wars start on my watch. That is the Biden foreign policy. That is, by no definition, America First. Iran has had five decades. Five decades, almost half a century to talk. And what they've done instead, kill 609American troops in Iraq. What they've done is put an assassination plot on President Trump's head. What they've done is take American hostages and wreak havoc on the world. America first is not sitting in a beach chair and using words. It's taking decisive action when we can take out Fordeau the one swoop of an airplane.

[Greg Gutfeld]

All right, Jesse, we know from Trump's words and deeds he's pretty stingy with blood and treasure. He's not a guy who's into wars. So what do you think he's going to do? Is this going to be something highly specific if he gets involved? Why isn't anybody asking what's next?

[Emily Campagno]

We are. And some people on the right are asking that. The left isn't asking anything. They've just totally withdrawn themselves from this debate. So right now it's a maximum pressure campaign, and we control the air and we have sanctions and espionage activities and they have no proxies. So Donald Trump is saying to the ayatollah, we know where you eat. We know where you sleep. I'm the one keeping you alive. Bibi. Bibi wants to knock you out and put you six feet under. I'm keeping you alive. So here are your options. Option number one is you come right to the negotiating table. You sign a deal, and we take your nuclear facilities offline and out of the country, or we take them out with bunker busters. We can do it the peaceful way, or we could do it the violent way. It's actually a choice that Khomeini has to make himself. Now, there are risks associated with using the bunker busters. You're basically taking out the only card that they have left to play. That's all their leverage. So they could lash out unpredictably. Suicide bombers, dirty bombs, missile strikes against naval assets or bases in there. But it looks like this is moving so fast. Our intelligence said that Netanyahu had decided he was going to strike Iran alone or with the United States. After October 7th, there was nothing we could say that would stop him, even if we were negotiating over this deal. And so Trump was like, no, and told him to chill. Twice Bibi asked for bunker busters. Trump told him to back off, didn't give them to him, but then felt the Iranians were stringing him along during these negotiations and after the deadline eclipse the day after, he greenlit the Israelis to go in hard, and now he likes what they've done. They've been effective with this air campaign. And now is the choice, is he going to use these bunker busters to get the United States involved offensively in the campaign? So far, he's been very deliberate, and he's keeping all options on the table. And so far, so good. We hope he makes the right call.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Emily, how do you reconcile the differences of opinion in the MAGA movement? You have. I mean, I'm grappling with it. I was, you know, part of the charm for me was that we were going to deal with foreign wars. But at the same time, I understand the threat. I don't know where to, and I don't want my opinion assigned to me from a John Bolton or whoever.

[Jesse Waters]

To that point, I think we elected a certain individual to represent all of our interests, and we know that his primary or final objective is peace through strength and to have no eternal wars. And so it would be that candidate, that is the commander in chief, President Trump, that would hold our faith, that we know, come hell or high Water. He's going to get to that end point. But I agree with you. And that's why we see that kaleidoscope of opinions that people have. Right. Intervention. How much is that right? There's different definitions essentially of intervention. Some consider even the use of 1B22, that that is indeed intervening, that that is potentially risking blood and treasure. And there are others that say, no, this is exactly, you know, sort of a minimal step, and anything short of intense investment is less than what we're talking about here. But I think your question of what's next and asking that question, that's the right question, because the reality is we inherited what we learned from this prior administration is that inaction furthers the interests of our enemies. Iran has been emboldened and equipped and was incentivized to terrorize Israel and also American interests over and over and over again. So we inherit that situation. Michael Oren said this, the Israeli former ambassador to the US that with this scenario, President Trump has the opportunity to become the greatest peacemaker of this century because everyone else just tried to curb the nuclear threat. But here we're trying to potentially totally eradicate it. And then what if the result is actually the annihilation, the failure of the Islamic regime, and then we ask what's next? Well, what would be the positive? Look, irrespective of the big Charlie Foxtrot, that that could be an enemy whose identity is based on the death and destruction of America, the Great Satan, and Israel extinguished sovereignty of the countries around it and the demilitarization potentially, of Yemen and Gaza, expanding the Abraham Accords, the impact on our security and our global economy is truly direct. So for me, I think the other alternative is waiting around for them to blackmail us, for Iran to say, oh, guess what? Oh, you don't. You're not going to do this. Here's a nuke. So I think this, the only option for peace is some type of intervention, and I trust our commander in chief to represent that.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Well, so, Jessica, this is a situation where you find yourself on the same side as President Trump. Both of you have an affinity towards Israel, correct?

[Jessica Tarlock]

Definitely.

[Greg Gutfeld]

So, yeah. What is your take on what he's doing and what America should do and what's next?

[Jessica Tarlock]

So my take on what he's doing is that he's doing what Bibi wants to. Wants to do. So he had made it clear over and over that he wanted a diplomatic path. And, yes, it was day 61, and he had said, you have 60 days, but he had been planning to have his team meet just two days later on the Sunday to try to go through the sixth round of talks. And he. He wanted a new nuke deal, even though the parameters of it were basically just the old deal that he had ripped up. So Bibi decided this is my chance, and Trump had no choice but to go along with it. And the New York Times is reporting today, just to make everyone at the table feel a little bit more powerful, that not only was it that this is what Israel decided to do, but that Donald Trump liked Fox's coverage of the Operation Rising lion, and everyone was talking about what genius it was because it was a genius operation on the part of the Israelis and that he wanted to be able to claim some credit for himself of that. And, you know, America first I get at Trump doctrines. He's not someone that deals in a ton of specimens. Specificity. It can vary. It really is. Look at his choices.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

You've been in the Situation Room with him.

[Jessica Tarlock]

I can read. I can see his post. Okay, so the one he took out.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

Soleimani, he took out Al Baghdad.

[Jessica Tarlock]

Kaylee, I heard you. And I heard that he was Winston Churchill. But if he's saying on Truth Social.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

What was Joe Biden? Did that work? The beach chair, Foreign policy.

[Jessica Tarlock]

Just let me finish. It's not that bad. It's just two minutes. I'll be done a minute and a half now. Probably just a minute.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Justin, you're down to a minute 15.

[Jessica Tarlock]

Okay, so he's a minute. Okay. He's posting using we. That's the pronoun that he's using for this. So he's saying, we know where you are and we're deciding not to kill you. We're in control of the Iranian skies. We has the implication that we are now in this fight with them, that it has happened already whether or not we give them the B2 bombers and take out the nuclear site that's built into the mountain Fordo, I think it's called. What's also interesting about what's going on is that it appears that Tulsi Gabbard has been iced out. So Peter Doocy was reporting earlier that there was a meeting last week at Camp David. All the intel chiefs Tulsi not invited, and Donald Trump yesterday when he was speaking on Air Force One, someone said, you know, Tulsi testified just back in March that Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon. And he goes, I don't care what she said. And I have a lot of disagreements with Tulsi and her policy, but she is a very Clear war dove. Right. That was part of the reason I like that.

[Greg Gutfeld]

That.

[Jessica Tarlock]

Why invite her? She's a dm.

[Greg Gutfeld]

No, no, what I'm saying is Trump's response was to the reporter. Meaning I don't care. But it was about the question. Not necessarily.

[Jessica Tarlock]

Well, then why didn't she get to go to camp?

[Emily Campagno]

I mean, you're talking about gossip, Jessica. We're talking about war and peace and destruction, and you're talking about gossip. We asked you, or he asked you what you thought of this situation, and it's all gossip. It doesn't matter, all that stuff. What do you think we should do about Iran? What do you think the commander in chief has done so far? What do you think about our allies, the balance of power in the Middle East? You don't have anything to say? Oh, you're just da, da, da, da, da. It sounds like US Weekly.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

It's harder to defend two global wars and Jessica's defense and the losing of a country to the Taliban, that's much harder to defend.

[Jessica Tarlock]

Totally capable of defending myself. And I did express what I thought about it. I think that Bibi is in charge of what's going on.

[Emily Campagno]

And do you think that's good or bad?

[Jessica Tarlock]

Jessica, Listen, I think it is a lot easier to say that Iran deserves to lose its nuclear program and to be wiped out than what's going on on the Gaza side. And he has a lot more support for that, including from the Republican base. There's interesting polling that the Senate, the GOP senators are using, which show actually that the MAGA base is supportive of Kelly's nodding. So now we're.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

I agree with you. I agree with you.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Let's very highly detailed conversation. Watch your back, Brett Bear. Coming up, crazy video of a Democrat getting cut for interfering with an ICE arrest.

[Trey Yingst]

And you know.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

If you have wet.

[Greg Gutfeld]

From the Fox News podcasts network.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

Hey there, it's me, Kennedy. Make sure to check out my podcast, Kennedy Saves the world. It is five days a week, every week. Download and listen at foxnewspodcast.com or wherever you listen to you.

[Jesse Waters]

Your favorite podcastum News getting dramatic video of a Democratic candidate running for New York City mayor, arrested at immigration court for allegedly interfering with an ICE arrest. The city's comptroller, Brad Lander, can be seen locking arms with the target, refusing to let go and physically interfering with agents. Watch this. New York Governor Kathy Hochul says charges against Brad Lander have been dropped. And just like Alex Padilla, it didn't take long for Brad to find a camera and play the victim.

[Greg Gutfeld]

We just tried to walk out of the building, and I think you saw the video. All I tried to do was just hold. Hold Edgardo's arm and ask the ICE agents, do you have a warrant? And they would not show me the warrant. And I said I'd let go of his arm as soon as they showed it to me. And they did not show it to me. And you saw what happened.

[Jesse Waters]

But here's the most important thing that Democrats like Brad Lander are missing. According to a new NBC poll, 51% of Americans say that they support Trump's handling of immigration and the border. 49% disagreed. And, Jessica, you put that on top of DHS, which has confirmed that 75% of ICE arrests in Trump's first hundred days were criminals with convictions or pending charges. So I think that's reflected in the majority of Americans saying, yes and thank you.

[Jessica Tarlock]

Well, yes, and thank you would be more than basically 50. 50.

[Emily Campagno]

So.

[Jessica Tarlock]

So that's within the margin of error. They ceased to be his best issue. 10 plus points advantage. And there are a couple of other recent polls where he was -6 and -11. On immigration. In terms of the stat, about 75% have been convicted or pending charges. Those pending charges are doing a lot of work. And the reverse of it is that 70% of people who have been detained haven't been convicted of anything, which is the threshold for people getting their due process. So there are folks sitting in cells, perhaps waiting for their day in court, or if they're lucky enough to be, you know, sent to a foreign gulag, and they haven't actually been arraigned, no one has seen them in a court of law to decide whether or not they actually committed these crimes. What's going on with Brad Lander, who was accompanying a migrant to his immigration hearing, and he's done this a few times, is broadly speaking, where the American people are, which is that if somebody is going about this the right way, if they have been in this country and they have not committed a crime, not been convicted of something, that they should be able to stay here or at least to get their due process. And I think that the images of the masked agents, you know, pulling a candidate for mayor and our comptroller aside, are going to be very resonant with folks. Importantly, Donald Trump's policy on immigration seemed like it was changing a couple days ago. Remember when he posted, he said, oh, if people work in agriculture, they shouldn't get picked up. And if people work at hotels, et cetera, like he Used to employ a lot of people at his properties. And it seems like Stephen Miller is back in charge. And I think that that's a bad thing for the country, and I think it's a bad thing for the president's immigration policy, because that flies in the face of where public opinion is. I don't know why Trump has completely ceded control to Miller in terms of this, but it's not a good look. And it's not going to float well with the governors that run states that have a lot of these people that keep them in business, big agriculture states, big states with, you know, hotels, leisure, et cetera.

[Jesse Waters]

But Greg, isn't that the whole point? Like right now the AG is literally investigating local cops for cooperating with ice. She's probing them. And yet it is a felony to obstruct federal proceedings. That's what we watched play out with representing Americans.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Look, I mean, again, Us Weekly, somebody's arguing with this person, some person's in charge of that. Look, here's the big problem. The Democrats almost single handedly destroyed the appeal and necessity of legal immigration. Invading is just easier than waiting in line for a party that claims to love immigration, who tells us over and over again we are a nation of immigrants to no end. You just screwed over millions of legal ideal immigrants. The ones who played by the rules by telling them the process doesn't matter. Come along here. Oh, and then, and then you. You demand empathy from us. Where was the empathy for the missing exploited children? Where was the empathy for the victims of illegal criminals? Where was the empathy for the cities that were burdened by all these people we were paying for their hotel rooms? You have. There's not a single media hack or Democrat that can demand any kind of empathy from us. It's over now. The adults are in charge. You guys made this mess. You know what? It kills me. You guys created this mess. Democrats. And there's a guy that's trying to correct it and what do you do? You sue him. It reminds me of like, you know, when a guy performs CPR on a crash victim and saves her life and she sues him for cracking her ribbon. They don't want to be saved. I want to know why you are stopping this process. It's not about the process. You are using the process as a way to prevent the goal. If you believe that we should have a border, then you should be supporting the process, but you don't really want a border.

[Jesse Waters]

Kaylee, the LA mayor said it's uncertainty in our city now about this, but what about the uncertainty of all of those illegal immigrants that have been accused of crimes and convicted of crimes and the money going toward them instead of vets? Uncertainty. That's destability.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

That's right. And the mayor should take a page from President Trump because she's lost the American public on this issue. I mean, Jessica, you bring up polling a lot on immigration, and I noticed you dismissed the NBC poll as within the margin of error. But the fact is President Trump has majority approval on immigration in the NBC poll. I will take that over the lowest approval rating since Jimmy Carter, which is what President Biden had. Democrats have lost the American public. They are hapless. They're flailing around. They don't know what to do. So what are they doing? Stunts. This Brad Lander guy. I consider myself a student of politics. I didn't know Brad Lander, but he got camera time. Then you go to Alex Padilla. He's a sitting senator. Yes, but very few people knew him. He wasn't like a Kamala Harris or someone with a ton of notoriety. But he gets camera time. Then you bring in the congressmen and women in Newark who stormed the detention facility. Again, their names evade me. It was all about camera time. Then you get to the guy with the impeachment with the floppy hair who had the animal rights problems in his background. Don't remember that guy's name. They're all performing stunts. They all want to be the face of the resistance. It doesn't work. Trump has majority approval. And, yes, put Stephen Miller in charge because he got you majority approval on one of the top issues to the American people.

[Jesse Waters]

Jesse, what do you think?

[Emily Campagno]

Well, we took a poll in November, and 160 million people said the Democrats are crazy. That's a pretty accurate poll. I mean, you seem to know a lot about public opinion, Jessica, but you just got shellacked. The point Greg made is perfect. We're not listening to you anymore on illegal immigration. I love you, Jessica, with all of my heart, but we don't even care what you say anymore. It doesn't even matter.

[Jessica Tarlock]

It's how this relationship really works.

[Emily Campagno]

You came in and you wrecked our house, and we're trying to clean it up. And not only are you not helping clean us up, but you're criticizing the way we're doing it. No. If you really cared about getting the illegals out, especially the criminals. You're always talking about the criminals. Then every time we call a nice detention center in LA county, can we pick up this bad hombre? And he's wanted on sex trafficking charges. Oh, no, sorry. We just let him go. If you really cared about getting the criminals out, you wouldn't have sanctuary cities there to protect them. And I'm sorry, Jessica, you were so wrong about this poll. The 70% number.

[Jessica Tarlock]

Yeah.

[Emily Campagno]

Okay. Half of them are people already convicted. The other half had been arrested for dui, fentanyl trafficking, child rape, and they're just waiting for their trial. And then the other people you say haven't been convicted, you know who they are? Those are people who've already been deported and then came back into the country and get caught again. And they include people who. An immigration judge has already ruled they're deported, but they're on the lam. And they include people who are wanted for other crimes in foreign countries. God, I hate having to fact check you every day.

[Jessica Tarlock]

Yeah, don't think that we were looking at the same poll.

[Emily Campagno]

It's the exact same one. I just read it properly.

[Jesse Waters]

By the way, that final category you just said that abortion multiple times and foreign crime. That's the status of the guy that was just now charged with attempted murder for throwing Molotov cocktails at law enforcement in LA during the riot.

[Jessica Tarlock]

What a guy.

[Jesse Waters]

All right, guys. Up next, city run grocery stores freezing the rent reparations. Liberal city Democrats are going socialist. Stay with us.

[Emily Campagno]

In your eyes, the light, the heat your eyes and complete your eyes see.

[Trey Yingst]

Repair clinic came to America.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

Sorry, Jessica, was some funny commentary over there, not Us Weekly. Big city Dems are going socialist in liberal New York City. AOC and Bernie backed Zorin Mamdani, a proud Democratic socialist is surging, leading Andrew Cuomo for the first time. But it's just in one poll and this of course, is in the New York City mayoral race. Now among Zorin's biggest socialist promises are freezing the rent, city run grocery stores and social workers to replace the police.

[Emily Campagno]

Freezing your rent as the next mayor of New York City and as mayor, I will create a network of city owned grocery stores. I'll make child care available to all New Yorkers at no cost.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

Greg, what could go wrong? I think I'm all in for Zorin.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I am too. I would love to see social workers instead of cops. Instead of handcuffs and pepper spray. They could have. They could bring pictures of their cats and their Dave Matthews CDs. That'll do it. I feel like the Democrat Party is on a kamikaze mission. You know, instead of, if the party's gonna go down, we're gonna take the whole ship with us. The remaining sane Democrats if there are any. Jessica, you gotta weigh the cost of sticking with these. Social justice suicide, Bo, because nobody wants this. It used to be cities were actually an actual sanctuary where you married commerce with security, safety in numbers. You could do business. It wasn't like the Wild West. Now it's worse than the Wild West. It's a magnet for mayhem. Sanctuary cities did that. Where the worst behavior is rewarded and decent people live in terror. They don't even take public public transportation. The left loved to say, this is worse than 9 11. Whether it's January 6th or Trump's reelection. I'm telling you, man, the Democrats under Bill de Blasio managed to do to New York City what Al Qaeda never could do, which is destroy our will to fight and destroy our will to live. If this guy even gets close to being elected. Dude, you're going to see this. You're going to see this. Go to hell.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

Well, the good news with Greg's analysis is Mr. Zorin is only ahead in one poll. Cuomo, the guy they chased out of the party, is ahead by double digits basically everywhere.

[Emily Campagno]

You know, you said it last segment. I've been trying to save New York City for years, but if they don't want to be saved, then screw them.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

I left.

[Emily Campagno]

Everybody else is sitting here. You thought they hit rock bottom with de Blasio. How much worse can it get?

[Greg Gutfeld]

It's like Daniel Penny, same analogy. It saves all these people's lives in the subway and they charge him with murder.

[Emily Campagno]

Right. So they're just going to keep voting for dummies and what, the rent keeps raising, crime keeps going up. You can't drive anywhere here. There's migrants. Biden ejected about a million of them, and they're even considering voting for this guy. There's a famous quote, which I'm about to butcher, that says that normal people learn from their own mistakes and wise people learn from other people's mistakes. You'd think the Democrats in this city would look at San Francisco and say, I don't want to be them. But they're sitting here about to become San Francisco.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

Interesting. Oh, my goodness.

[Jessica Tarlock]

You don't like. You like Mayor Laurie.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

Jessica, I want to ask you this.

[Jessica Tarlock]

The new mayor, I don't even know who that is.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

Jessica. Reflects on the subject of New York City. Jessica, Politico says this. So this is, you know, not some right wing publication. Politico says that Zorin's policies are hit with affluent white voters, but not with Latino and black Americans. That's who he wants to cater to. So are your friends, the affluent white voters, all in for Zorin?

[Jessica Tarlock]

No, I actually don't have one affluent white friend who's in for Zorin because most of my affluent white friends are Jewish and they're backing Andrew Cuomo in this. And it's very rare that the New York Times and the New York Post agree, but they both wrote an editorial saying, don't even rank Mamdani, because we have ranked choice here. And if the name is even on the ballot, even if it's number four, that means that they'll be in the mix. And you've seen a lot of late breaking endorsements from Hasidic leaders, like in Borough park, for instance, who originally were going to rank Adrian Adams number one, now saying that they're going to rank Andrew Cuomo number one. And I think that New York Times editorial, which is getting a lot of play and being passed around a lot, and Cuomo is using it as an endorsement of him. At best, it's a backhanded endorsement. But I think what they said about Mamdani's experience is important, that it's way too thin and that he's doomed to repeat the bad ideas and mistakes of the de Blasio administration. So even if you're not concerned about the fact that he supports BDS and has expressed some anti Semitic views, to put it lightly, no boycott, divest, not to buy from Israel. I mean, this is the biggest group Jewish population outside of Tel Aviv. It would be very hard for him to get there and become our mayor.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

I think Jessica's exactly right, Emily.

[Jesse Waters]

Yes, me too. So he is exactly what is wrong with politics right now, specifically the Democrat Party. He comes in on a slick social media plan. He's actually done nothing for the state as part of the State Assembly. Everything that he has done are things that he hasn't. So he refused to condemn the Holocaust twice, citing one time, oh, I'm running for mayor, so I can't. Sorry. Right, yes. And the list goes on. This guy is a blatant anti Semite, but the whole point is AOC dancing with him on the float and all of his TikTok videos is that he's sort of sailing in on the sheen and the veneer of the trash that the Democratic Party loves, which is camera attention. So he has no idea how he's not going to pay for all of this stuff that will be free. But more importantly, he is really dangerous for this city. So everyone needs to. I can't believe I'm saying this, but vote for anyone Like Cuomo over him. But then they need to get a good Republican candidate because the whole point. I'm sick of the argument. It's a buffet of socialism, a buffet of bad actors. Like, we need good people to run to save Gotham.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

Yeah, the aoc, Bernie, Mom, Donnie rally. That'll be a fun one. I won't be there. The media's left wing agenda exposed. Fired. ABC News reporter Terry Moran breaking his silence.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Everything's gonna be all right. Everything's gonna be.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

An illegal alien from Guatemal.

[Emily Campagno]

Disgusting. I lost all respect for you, Kaylee. More proof that the media is run by a bunch of emotional teenage girls. Fired. ABC reporter Terry Moran is breaking his silence, setting the record straight on his late night X post against Stephen Miller that got him canned.

[Trey Yingst]

Listen, it wasn't a drunk tweet.

[Emily Campagno]

Everybody assumes it was because it was at after midnight. I'm actually, you know, not that liberal. I'm a member of the most despised.

[Jessica Tarlock]

Political tribe in America.

[Emily Campagno]

I'm a proud centrist.

[Trey Yingst]

And your job is not to be objective. What you have to be is fair and accurate.

[Emily Campagno]

The Israeli military says missiles launched from Iran towards Israel are raining down right now. Trey Yingst is standing by in Tel Aviv.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Track.

[Trey Yingst]

Yeah, Jesse, you can hear behind me there are sirens sounding as ballistic missiles are fired at this city. Air defense systems are currently active over Tel Aviv with hundreds of thousands of people into bomb shelters at this moment. Unhooked. Get off. All right, we got it. We're going to move. Okay, Stay with us. Stay with us. Stay with us. Keep moving, keep moving, keep moving, keep moving. Give me one second. Jesse, I'm with you. I got to fix my ifb. One second. Jesse, we're going to give you a quick update. I'm with you.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Jesse.

[Trey Yingst]

I got you back.

[Emily Campagno]

There's a shelter in place. Order right now. We hear the sirens. Trey, are you with me?

[Trey Yingst]

Yeah, Jesse, I'm with you. We got disconnected for a moment from our IFB there. You could see a lot of those missiles coming off as they were trying to intercept some of that incoming fire. We saw the first one go out to the sea and because they could track where it was going, they let it get intercepted out at sea. This is an indication that the Iranians, still, as the Americans are deciding whether or not they want to get involved in this war, are firing on major population centers again. We have to make the decisions very quickly to move. That's part of what you just saw there. We'll stay as long as we can. And you can hear there's a massive explosion overhead. And once we have another minute, we're going to go out and see if anything was hit. But you could just hear that explosion there, Jesse, and that's why we get off the balcony as the fire starts to get heavier. But again, this has been going on for the past four days as the Iranians respond to these strikes that are taking place across their territory. And despite the fact that the Israelis told us earlier today that they were able to take out around 40% of the missile launchers, we understand that they have not been able to take out all of them. And so we expect to see more of this type of fire in the days ahead.

[Emily Campagno]

Trey, what is your understanding from the intelligence community? How much missiles have the Iranians stockpiled? Are they able to go tit for tat with Israel and for how long?

[Trey Yingst]

Yeah, so they have around 2,000 missiles, according to a senior Israeli intelligence official that I spoke with over the weekend. The concern here is that they're not able to hit all of the stockpiles because the Iranians have been preparing for the war that is currently taking place with Israel for the past few decades. And so they not only will stockpile missiles in the sides of mountains and deep underground, but they hide the launchers. And so these are mobile launchers. In many cases, eventually they will run out of missiles. And that is part of the reason that Israeli officials are encouraging the United States to to get involved at this very moment, because they understand it's a window of opportunity. They have weakened the Iranians enough that they've taken out many of the missile launching platforms. They have struck both the Isfahan and the Natanz nuclear facilities. And they have left just really a large facility called the Fordal facility, where the most advanced part of the Iranian nuclear program is currently developing. And so if we see the Americans get involved, this is one of the likely targets. Because America has bunker buster bombs, they have the ability to strike even deeper underground than the Israelis do. And according to that pilot that I spoke with earlier in an Israeli fighter jet pilot, he told me they've taken out much of the air defense around the Iranian capital. And this gives Israel the ability to start striking in deeper parts of Tehran. And we're just going to walk back out here, Jesse, because again, it's a very fluid situation when we're covering these moments. And you will notice over the past four days, whenever we have to make decisions, we make them very quickly. We have a security team member with us and they address how much incoming fire we're getting what direction it's coming from. And when they make the call, we move very quickly to get out of the way and get cover. From what I can see here, there are no direct impacts in this area. We'll get initial reports in about other parts of central Israel. We're very careful about the locations, understanding that this is a volatile situation that is changing each and every minute.

[Emily Campagno]

JESSE all right, Trey, a lot of respect for your bravery. Great reporting. Thank you so much. We're going to continue to monitor the situation here, and we're going to have more of the five up next.

[Jessica Tarlock]

Let's get back to our discussion on fired ABC anchor Terry Moran and his claim that journalists don't have to be objective. KAYLEE I was watching Terry Moran on Earlier with Tim Miller, and he he said that the job is to be fair and accurate and that he feels as though he was in the Stephen.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

Miller tweet, because comparing Trump to the Nazi regime, as he has done twice in the past, is fair. There are fair reporters in the White House press corps. I'm not going to just deride all of them. They're the ones whose names you don't know. They're not out there attention seeking. They're not out there trying to compare Trump to Nazis. They're out there doing their job and you don't know their name. Terry Moran says he wasn't drunk when he sent that tweet. He better wish he was drunk because it'd make more sense to me if he was and it'd be at least somewhat of an excuse.

[Jessica Tarlock]

But Greg, he's making more money this way.

[Emily Campagno]

I don't know.

[Greg Gutfeld]

First of all, he said he wasn't drunk. How many times have I said that when I was drunk? And he says he's also a centrist, but you're not a centrist when every position you hold dissolves, when somehow it's attached to Trump. There are a lot of centrists who go crazy because Trump exists in the center lane. You know, Bill Kristol goes full trans. Nicole Wallace sounds like she's in Code Pink. Michael Steele is just an absurd freak. Don Lemon, believe it or not, once was a centrist. That was before Trump. They've all imploded. So the challenge for all these clowns is that who are you? If you continue to define yourself as nothing like Trump, who are you? You don't know what you are. The high ground maneuver of common sense has forced you out into the, I don't know, to the deserts of stupidity where you probably belong.

[Emily Campagno]

Chelsea, if he said he hated Trump and he was a hard left radical liberal, I'd respect that. At least he was honest. But he's trying to masquerade as a centrist who's supposedly fair and balanced. And that's why you don't like him, because he's not being honest with himself and he's not being honest with the audience. And Jessica, you think he's making more money now than he's been canned by abc? What's he doing? Raking leaves? No, what's he doing? Is he an escort? Is he a gigolo? Jessica. Because there's no way you make less money doing something on wherever he is than being a network anchor.

[Jessica Tarlock]

People are making millions of dollars on substack.

[Kayleigh McEnany]

Wow.

[Jesse Waters]

What, not to sell?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yeah, not him.

[Jesse Waters]

But he outed himself because he said.

[Emily Campagno]

Why don't we maybe dabble in substack on the side?

[Jesse Waters]

He says that he was fair and accurate, but he also said that the job doesn't require him to be objective. And then he was like, I think that the network just thought I was bad for business. Exactly, because you actually do need to be objective. This is a perfect illustration of an at will employment contract where he gets terminated for going totally against the business being bad for business because he thinks he can levy personal subjective attacks. And that's why the network canned him. So the lack of mea culpa or any type of like, self realism in the mirror to me is the craziest part.

[Jessica Tarlock]

All right, one more thing is up next.

[Greg Gutfeld]

The midnight sky is the road I'm.

[Emily Campagno]

Taking I hear it all.

[Greg Gutfeld]

All right, we don't have a lot of time, so shut up. Tonight we got a great show. We got Jimmy Norton, we got Criss Angel, Cat, Tim Tyres, and a special visit from the great legend David Mamet. I don't think you have anything close to that, Jesse, who do you have on?

[Emily Campagno]

I have myself. Jesse Waters. Primetime will be doing live coverage of the Israeli Iranian situation. 8:00pm Eastern.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Jessica, what are you going to be doing?

[Jessica Tarlock]

Watching your shows, of course, and also thinking about this very cool Brooklyn dad, George Guntas, who got roped into a Pedro Pascal lookalike contest by his kid on Father's Day. And he looks just like him. It's only a $50 prize, but I thought he looked more like Pascal than.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Have a look like contest with somebody people know. Nobody knows who is Pedro Pascal.

[Jessica Tarlock]

You didn't watch the Last of Us? Is that what it was?

[Greg Gutfeld]

No, I don't watch crappy television.

[Jesse Waters]
