America is built on hard work and powered by American energy. Chevron has spent $44 billion with local businesses across all 50 states since 2022, fueling infrastructure and communities, all while strengthening local economies. Last year, Chevron increased us nearly 20%, powering communities and businesses from the heartlands to the coasts.

Greg Gutfeld
Hello everyone. I'm Emily Compagno along with Harold Ford Jr. Joey Jones, Dana Perino, and Greg Gutfeld. It's five o' clock in New York City, and this is the five. Well, the left is losing their minds over President Trump bringing order to D.C. cracking down on rampant crime by federalizing the police force and deploying the National Guard. But as always, the Democrats have to find a way to resist 47, even if it means siding with the criminals. Some liberals are desperate to spin his crime cleanup as somehow racial.
- [01:31]
Emily Compagno
You may recall at the Democratic Convention, I spoke one evening and I said that Project 2025 is Jim Crow 2.0.
- [01:43]
Harold Ford Jr.
This president is trying to lead us.
- [01:46]
Emily Compagno
Into what could be called a civil war.
- [01:49]
Harold Ford Jr.
I have talked about the fact that you 53 days. It does not take much, frankly. And we have a president who seems hell bent on doing just that.
- [02:00]
Greg Gutfeld
The liberal media was somehow more ridiculous. One D.C. resident telling the Washington Post that the city is safe, but they wanted to remain anonymous, saying that over concerns of personal safety. And others in the press are pushing the absurd narrative that there is no crime in D.C. donald Trump is using.
- [02:19]
Chris
Rhetoric and playing on the real fears that some people have because of what they've seen on the news.
- [02:24]
Joey Jones
He's simply a media event to say.
- [02:27]
Emily Compagno
That the president is concerned about crime.
- [02:29]
Joey Jones
When I go to D.C. i'm not afraid of losing my wallet so much.
- [02:33]
Unknown
As I'm afraid of losing my vote.
- [02:34]
Emily Compagno
I'm trying to hold my temper. We have to understand this, Chris. Within the context of Donald Trump's racial.
- [02:41]
Chris
Politics, people are one beat away from saying super predators. It just, it feels familiar. Maybe it's that he really enjoys using US Military force against American civilians on American soil.
- [02:55]
Greg Gutfeld
And I regret to inform you that the liberals are once again singing to stop the DC Crime crackdown. Check out this protest.
- [03:03]
Joey Jones
DC Is our home.
- [03:07]
Chris
You can have it drunk.
- [03:11]
Joey Jones
DC Is our home. You can have it Trump.
- [03:19]
Greg Gutfeld
But just blocks from where that protest took place, a man was found shot and killed, making him the 100th homicide this year. That's the thing, Greg the Limb. The libs are so absurd. Like, it's laughable. But there's nothing laughable about the D.C. crime rate and the fact that President Trump is now coming in and going to change it.
- [03:39]
Joey Jones
You know, we start this show so many times with the left is losing their minds. Can they please just lose their voice? You know, I would rather hear RFK sing the banana song than listen to them. Why do Democrats think singing is a solution for fixing things? Thank God they're not airplane mechanics or pediatric neurosurgeons, because people would actually literally die. So this is like mass deportations, where the announcement of the policy does most of the heavy lifting. Criminals see the extra attention paid to criminality and they lose the incentive to create crime. And then it stops. And what does that show you? It shows you how you've been lied to by Democrats forever. Crime is a choice. It's not caused by anything but the lack of will to stop it. When you. When you engage your will to stop it, it goes away. There is no root cause. It's if you can stop it with the threat of punishment, it's not out of your control. Like, you have this criminal tick where I got to loot. No, it's only done because you have. There's no disincentive. So I think what's scary to the Dems is not the military. It's the fact that they know this is going to work and that it's already working, just like deportation. What are they going to do? And if it works there, Think about all the other Cities, Chicago, Baltimore, D.C. all of a sudden, you could see a change. And the charlatans who are in charge, you know, they're not going to be able to keep padding their nest and stay in power. Think about how the system. Corruption is the system. It's not a bug in the system. When Lori Lightfoot leaves and is replaced by Brandon Johnson, it tells you that the power structure exists mainly for power's sake. It's not about providing service. It's only about one's own survival. And they have no accountability. So what Trump does is like what he did with deportation. He goes, you know what? They're not doing their job. I'll do it.
- [05:39]
Greg Gutfeld
And he'll do it on behalf of those residents that everyone else claimed to always be speaking for. They're always speaking for this communities. He's the one that's actually doing.
- [05:48]
Chris
And in Washington, D.C. one of the things that happens is your head's always on a swivel. You're like, oh, you can't go down that street. You can't go down. And so maybe some, I understand that they can look at a statistic and say, well, now crime is down. Except for. I do think it's pretty curious that you have somebody who is high up in the D.C. police Department now on leave because he was falsifying crime stats. And we saw this in the wire. If you watched it, this was like a whole big story. And it was a good one. Also, the way that they. Washington, D.C. the way they divide it up, it's in wards, and wards 7 and 8 are where you have the highest crime. That's also where you have 90 to 93% black and 91 to 92%, the poorest and the black. So what it presumably, if you want to stop crime and help those neighborhoods, you would do something like this. And I do think they're afraid it's going to work because you could imagine somebody in Denver going, I haven't been downtown in years. I would love to go in and go see a play. I would love to go see the Rockies play. Except I know they stink. But, you know, in theory, you would want to go downtown and enjoy some of the new things. The new Union Station there is beautiful, but if you are not comfortable taking the light rail to go down there, or you can't find parking, you don't want to walk there after dark, then you won't want to do this. So I do think that that could happen.
- [07:01]
Joey Jones
Dana, do you know what Ward is most dangerous for? The knife attacks. Ward Cleaver.
- [07:09]
Chris
And I can't. I can't stop it. I can't top it. I'll end it there.
- [07:13]
Greg Gutfeld
And Joey, the other thing is, you know, this is. This is not just in contrast to the left's narrative. President Trump sort of wielding the tyranny and bringing in brute force, but they've articulated this plan that involves to repealing the Youth Rehabilitation act that grants probation irrespective of whether the crime is heinous or not. The Incarceration Reduction act that let people go age 25, no matter what, essentially. And then the record Seal, which the U.S. attorney for D.C. jeanine Pirro, talked about how important that was so that people would know. So what say you about this sort of Avengers teamwork approach to D.C. will it work and will other cities take heed to.
- [07:50]
Harold Ford Jr.
Well, first of all, the judge was great today. She really was. She, she had some good one liners there that really turned some heads probably, but were truthful. You know, I wasn't thinking about this. You just brought it up. I interviewed Sheriff Mark Lamb and a lot of people know who he is from Arizona in the book behind the Badge and he talked about. I didn't know what he would talk about, but one of the things he talked about he was most proud of was something to the effect of these young men that were getting in trouble for things like pickpocketing or stealing cars in small towns. It was a little bit different. He would sit them down and say, you have a choice. The consequences are going to come at you with a heavy hammer. Or you can do this program I've created where we try to teach you how to be a responsible individual. But that itself came with consequences. I think part of the problem is he was in smaller areas so you had more resources per person to do stuff like that. But you know, the Democrats want to hit the easy button on those types of programs. And it's like it's not about rehabilitating that person because you can't say that the things he does are bad because somehow culturally, you know, good grammar is white supremacy for them. It's about just removing consequences because it wasn't that person's fault to begin with. But you have to have something there to educate that person, to reform that person so they don't have to go to jail the next time or do something just bad. We had the Virginia attorney general on this morning on Foster defense first and he told us that 5% of felons commit more than 50% of violent crime in Virginia. And it really is a concentrated amount of people that should probably just never be back on the streets. I mean, just working at this news organization as a fill in host that's not in here every day. I can't tell you the last time I did a Fox and Friends show and we didn't talk about someone committing murder, almost killing someone, doing something violent and terrible and then immediately say, and three prior arrests for similar incidents. I don't understand at all how cities exist that way. And lastly to Clyburn, if It's Jim Crow 2.0, just so you know, Jim Crow was pretty bad, But Jim Crow 2.0 is kind of great. I mean we have it in Georgia and we had more people of color turn out to vote this last election than ever before. So the more they use that, the more they try to use that racist attack, the more the results yield something completely opposite.
- [10:00]
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah. Plus, remember, the youth recidivism rate there is skyrocketing higher than the adult recidivism rate. So take what you just talked about and then multiply that, and that's what's happening in D.C. harold, I want to come to you on something sort of nuanced because people are so exhausted, not only of the denial of crime, but by that same sort of talking points that are often thrown at people who are trying to make a difference in real meaningful ways. And what I mean by that is. So Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney, was asked today, what are you guys going to do about truancy and the, quote, root causes behind these youth committing the crimes? And she said, my concern is not why they commit the crimes, it's that they're committing the crimes. She said, my concern are the victims of the crimes. And I was so grateful for someone that finally stood up to the liberal media that said, I'm not even going to go down this rabbit hole that you keep throwing my way because it has nothing to do with people dying on the streets.
- [10:52]
Emily Compagno
I couldn't agree with her more. I miss her a lot. Two things I'd say I love big ideas in politics. When after the George Floyd murder, there was an effort on the part of some in Washington and politics to introduce something called diversity, equity and inclusion. We call it dei. Some of it worked. A lot of it didn't work. President Trump now is offering a big, big set of ideas to try to address and curb and confront crime head on in cities and namely Washington, because of the authority that they have now. I hope it does well. What I also hope morphs from this and comes from this are some of the things that Joy talked about, things have been talked about around the table. Maybe if you're in Washington and you're the president, you offer Congress, which you have a Republican House and Senate to do. Crime bill Part two. The last time they did a crime bill, Emily, was under a Democratic president. In fact, the Democrats you had on at the beginning of our show here, as we showed the MSNBC announcers and commentators who were saying, we're just one step away from calling these kids super predators. Those were Democrats that did that. The last time we had a federal legislative package to address crime, it was offered and passed by a Democratic president with the help of Republicans in the Congress. I happened to be. I happened to get elected to Congress not long after that. Wouldn't it be great if the president and Republicans, whom I would support this, if they offered a bill in Congress that said, we're going to end cash bail in cities and states that don't do it, we're going to yank federal funding from you. Some may say that that may have. They may be constitutionally dubious. One thing we know about President Trump, for better or for worse than Greg, you said yesterday, here's a guy that is unconventional. He's not afraid of a lawsuit. So do it and see what happens. Give more money to help build more jails in cities than need it. The mayor of Washington said what they need most is money to build jails because they have too many criminals. Three, the programs that Joy talked about, we not only to have those kind of education programs, but have summer jobs efforts for kids. Not every kid is going to do it, but at least you get those kids who want to do the right thing. Give them something to say yes to. Finally hire and train more cops. That's what the Crime act did. And finally, I heard Mayor Adams today resist the idea of the feds coming in here and taking over the police department in New York. He said, if you want to help us, help us to curb the number of assault weapons on our streets, let's have a broad conversation. And Democrats, don't be afraid of what this president's talking about. And Republicans, stop blaming Democrats. Crime is not a race issue. It's not a partisan issue. I don't know of any Democrats and man, I wish a Democrat would rob me today. I don't know of any Republicans saying, gosh, I hope an armed robbery happens in my neighborhood and it better be a Republican. This is not partisan. Democrats should not make it that way. Republicans should not make it that way. And it's not racial, because I don't know of anybody in America, regardless of their race, who wants to be a victim of a crime.
- [13:29]
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, I think.
- [13:29]
Chris
Can I add one, just one last thing, because I did remember one thing I wanted to say is that over and over again with all of these issues, you see that it's consensus amongst the liberals is that we don't want crime either. So it's not the why Trump wants to fix it. It's they are against any of the how he wants to fix it. And yet they don't offer any solutions. They're basically, you are just left to believe that cities are a terrible place and you have to just accept the crime. And President Trump is saying no, we can do something about this and we will. And it remains to be seen if it'll work.
- [14:01]
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah. And also it's not the lack of federal legislation. The problem is the city councils right there in D.C. who have legislated and created these acts that led to the destruction of the.
- [14:09]
Emily Compagno
But you can't say out of your one mouth that one side of your mouth that you want President Trump and you what he's doing. And then when I say they ought to do something that can affect the whole country. Look, I'm with you.
- [14:17]
Greg Gutfeld
No, I'm going to repeal it. Like first you have to repeal these ridiculous laws and then.
- [14:22]
Joey Jones
But the federal, the what could Trump do? An executive order on no cash bail.
- [14:26]
Emily Compagno
Why not let him do it Challenge. Let him at the Greg Feld. No cash bail.
- [14:32]
Chris
Not make it the Harold Ford Greg.
- [14:36]
Greg Gutfeld
All right, guys, so much more to come, including this. Up next, Bernie Sanders is burning the Democrats for turning their backs on the working class. Stay with us.

Chris
So democrats are now facing a blue collar revolution that could further crush him at the ballot box. The New York Times reports this. These are the voters who should scare Democrats most. They talk to working class folks. Some Biden voters in 2020 who flipped to Trump. They were fed up with the party's obsession with identity politics. One trucker puts it bluntly, quote, it seemed like they were more concerned with DEI and LGBTQ issues and really just things that didn't pertain to me or concern me at all. They weren't concerned with really kitchen table issues. And after years of loyally backing Democrats, the Teamsters union reportedly donating to battleground Republicans in the upcoming midterms. Even Bernie's waving the warning flag.
- [17:06]
Emily Compagno
And we have got to understand that the Democratic Party in many, many respects has turned its back on the working class of this country. And if Democrats want to win elections, they're going to have to stop taking money from billionaires and start responding to the needs of working people.
- [17:28]
Chris
You know, Harold, Bernie actually refused to meet with the Teamsters, which I think shows it's not necessarily about politics, but about power possibly. And it is. This divide between the Democrats and working class voters could get worse if Mamdani wins because his biggest supporters are affluent white liberals and not the working class.
- [17:52]
Emily Compagno
Well, a couple things, I think, when we come to the Madame race in one moment. Sanders and Madame are one of a kind. They endorse each other, support each other. Elizabeth Warren as well. So they come from a side of the party that believes or not my side of the party, madame, is actually a socialist. I don't consider him a Democrat. 2. In my lifetime, there have been two major realignments of the political party system. One was in 92 when Bill Clinton won. Democrats had not won in a while. He had a different message. He was different on some of the social issues, including capital punishment. He was even different a little bit on the abortion issue. He was against late term abortions. In my lifetime, I'm 55. The first time a national Democrat had spoken like that. He then gets to office two years, four years later, five years later. The first time the government had been balanced, the budget had been balanced at the federal level in 30 years. It still hasn't been balanced since. And then 2016, President Trump, what he was able to do and upending the way working class voters thought about the Republican Party and the way even minority groups, which have traditionally gone for Democrats, how they thought about the Republican Party. As we sit here today, Democrats still haven't gotten the right message. They seem to be more cathartic than strategic in their thinking about how to go forward. Wouldn't it be nice if we actually offered ideas? I listened. I had some time one Saturday night listen to an interview that, that Bernie Sanders had. I watched some of his rally in West Virginia. I was clear, didn't have a lot to do for a little bit on Saturday. But it was interesting because I listened and a lot of the things he said I agreed with in terms of his diagnosing of the challenges. But his answers, he didn't really seem to have any answers. A lot of it, when it came time, not thought to give answers. He just criticized President Trump. I thought to myself, wouldn't it be great if Democrats would encourage administration to provide, since they want to shut the Department of Education, say instead of doing that, let's provide more funding for cities and states that are doing reform things, innovative things. You've talked about some of the things in the past and including the state of Mississippi, which is doing remarkable things around K through 12 education cities that are doing things in the charter school space, even in the voucher space, that's working. Let's reward those things that are working. 2. The biggest challenge, one of the reasons that Madame is doing well here in New York is that he's talking about affordability and housing affordability. Why not give first time home buyers who qualify, who are actually eligible, who have the income, give them bigger down payment assistance and let's give them bigger tax breaks to be able to own a home. President Trump said no taxes on tips and overtime. I kind of like the instinct. But the real thing ought to be to help Everybody that's earning 70, 80, $90,000 a year, a little less. The first 50,000 of income should be tax free for every American. That's what Democrats ought to be offering. The only way we're going to get back this group of voters and make this thing more competitive and have a chance to win again is if we stop attacking Trump and start addressing and listening to voters. It's a very simple thing. It's happened for now. We'll celebrate 250 years next year. Every politician that's ever won has actually listened to voters and tried to respond to their needs and aspirations. And we're not doing a good job of that right now.
- [20:53]
Chris
Joey, I'm often reminded of this one time in 2015 or 16, right around when President Trump was running, had a rally and he says this country is dying because of political correctness. And it gets this huge standing ovation. And it was one of those times when I thought, oh, he's tapping into something that has played out even to this day, to the point that now you have corporations relieved that they can get rid of their DEI programs. Universities are finally being brought back to some common sense. And I do think that that whole DEI woke agenda really did alienate workers in addition to the economics.
- [21:31]
Harold Ford Jr.
Sure it did, yeah. I mean, you know, you think about blue collar workers when I hear that, I guess I think about like Midwesterners that are, that are die hard dyed and wool union workers, conservative in their home and have supported Democrat candidates over the years because of the Democrats strong stranglehold on unions. And I think that's one of the places where President Trump has really flipped the script. I mean, when you look at Democrats from policy, not just from the things they say, but from their policy, they've abandoned the assembly line for the disability line. They've, they've abandoned those struggling to get ahead in life. For those that are unwilling to get in line to begin with, they've abandoned Americans and imported their own voters. I mean those are the policies they've supported at least over the last 10 years. What is so ironic about all of this is Democrats still hold onto this idea that you can use your identity to connect to voters. I mean you look at Scranton, Joe Mondame comes in and he talks about all these things and he doesn't really want you to know too much about his past or how he gets his rent. Donald Trump is a billionaire, Ivy educated from Manhattan and he connects with people in these small towns not because he uses his past or his background or his identity, but because he says the things they want to hear and does the things they want done. It really is that simple. It is simple and I don't know why they won't much like Harold. I don't know why Democrats want to take up some of those.
- [22:49]
Chris
In the last four years we talked a lot about the Democrats pushing forward on student loan forgiveness and climate change. And those are two main issues I think that alienated them from their workers.
- [22:58]
Joey Jones
I'm glad you brought that up, Dana. Thank you. You know why? Because when you say blue collar, we think who do you mean? It's more about who you aren't. You know, when you look at the Democrat party, you don't see blue collar. You see the polar opposite. This ghastly experiment of identity extremism, luxury beliefs held together with rage speak and victimhood. Blue collar, it's not non binary trans screaming about, you know, the evils of white privilege and Gaza politics. They aren't blue collar that's spending their afternoons on TikTok or smoking weed at the park, you know, demanding others to pay for their college loans. They work for a living, they raise families. When you look at it, I mean it's Funny. That's why the whole union thing seems so glaringly weird. Like, how is the union still there? Why are they still there? There's not a single issue that the Dems champion that resonates with, I'm going to say it. Normal people party was hijacked by an unhinged, marginal and mentally ill activist class, friendless activists who see in their social media footprint power and status. Nothing blue collar, nothing real about them. And now you have, I think, I think Trump is somehow approaching the unions in a way that says, it's okay to come here, the water's warm, get away from these weirdos. They're not good for you, they don't care about you. And I've said it a million times and I think, Harold, one day you're gonna agree with me. I think that identity politics has done more to destroy the Democrat Party than anything because it reversed what we were about, the melting pot, which was about stress, unity over differences. And identity politics went the opposite direction. It leaned into the very thing that we were trying to escape, which was tribalism, tribes against tribes and in violence. And so what we did was we pitted groups against each other into some zero sum game. And you basically get like a political cannibalism, you know, where if I'm not high on this pyramid, I'm talking too much pyramid of being aggrieved, then you are and you can't share. I'm gonna shut up.
- [25:17]
Emily Compagno
I don't know why you invoke my name. I don't disagree with you. I think identity policy is trying to.
- [25:20]
Joey Jones
Get a rise out of you. Harold.
- [25:22]
Chris
Let's give you the last word, Emily.
- [25:24]
Greg Gutfeld
Well, I thought it was so telling. So the Teamsters general president, Sean o', Brien, he said that Bernie Sanders stopped talking to him and he was being interviewed and the host was like, when did he stop talking to you? And he said it was when we did not formally endorse the Democrat Party. And it goes back to your earlier question of the it is not about politics at all. Because if it was, then Bernie Sanders, presidential candidate would have sat down and said, why aren't you endorsing me? He cold shouldered him because he took it personally and it was about power. And that kind of hubris is what the Democrats have been to the table, which is an expectation, oh, we are the automatic labor coalition. And the reason that they're so salty and they've taken such offense is because they thought they didn't have to earn it, that they just got it right. They got those votes when you look at where their money is going, the Teamsters pac, the fact that they spread money to the nrcc, individual GOP House candidates across all of these battlefield states, not just white rural areas, but super urban, dense multi ethnic areas and even the Republican Attorneys General Association. So the worst thing the Dems can do right now is get mad that they were broken up with and not listen to the reason why.

More unbelievably stupid liberal laws in America. A transgender registered sex offender, the creep you're looking at on your screen right now, is set to escape prosecution. 33 year old Solomon Gilligan allegedly tried to kidnap an 11 year old child from a Colorado schoolyard. As you see there. The kids were screaming for help, of course, and thankfully they all got away. So why isn't this dude in cuss for life? Well, the stupid woke law in Colorado says the case must be dismissed if the person is quote, non restorable and the court says he can't face charges because he's mentally ill. And here's the kicker, this ain't his first rodeo. Solomon has been in and out of jail for over a decade for things like assault. And even the assistant DA says this law needs to be scrapped. Greg, what say you?

This is a perfect climax to the suicidal empathy of the left. You get the trans hoax and restorative justice, mating and creating a monster you never would have conceived decades ago. You have a sexual predator exploiting both categories. And what a beauty, I might add. Judge a book by its cover there. I did. You know, it's pretty easy. But he dons the costume of the oppressed and then and then is able to commit crimes in a progressive terrain where they go unpunished. In a perfect world. This story will be taught in every freshman college class on logic and reason because it teaches you that any system created can be gamed by people who want to do it. And that the idea of self identification is the open door to all sorts of sexual and criminal exploitation. If you can and will identify as whatever you want, then you will. How does this happen? My last point. Do you remember all the idiots who called us transphobic for. For covering this stuff? They were the transphobic ones because they were terrified of trans coming for them. So they allowed this travesty to explode and amplify. They sacrificed women and children on the altar of trans. They accepted predators in women's safe spaces because they were cowards. Where are they? Where are all those a holes that were saying that oh, you're transphobic. No, you caused this. They should pay.

Harold Ford Jr.
Emily, if he can't be restored, what should we do with him?
- [29:36]
Greg Gutfeld
Probably nothing that I can say on air, to be honest. This case makes me so horrified and angry and I think about in this climate that we've just extricated ourselves under the prior administration, how much legislation was eroded and how much ridiculous legislation was passed. And a lot of these laws that we take for granted that have tried to uphold the fabric of society, their names off the books have names like Megan's Law or Jones Law, because that's the name of the child or the victim that was the victim at that time. So Jones Law, for example, a seven year old, that is the law. That is why we have if you murder a child during the commission of a sexual assault, that's why they don't get parole. But Joan's murderer did get parole. And that was the whole point. But back then in the 70s, we had different kinds of judges. So that judge at the time refused to accept the plea deal that the prosecutor had offered the perp and said, nope, go back to the drawing board. Give me something worse. So finally at trial, they convicted him of the worst murder, but he still got parole after 13 years. So Joan's mother, you know what the motto was for her mission after that? Remember Joan today so that tomorrow's children will be safe. So back to this monster. Here's my point. What's going to be the name of the law that Colorado passes once this monster that is out on the streets is successful with kidnapping a child? What's the name of the child that will be murdered and assaulted by this monster? And therefore legislation needs to be passed to get the unrestorable human off the streets once and for all.

Harold Ford Jr.
Even his own sister was on TV saying, listen, he's been in jail for, in and out of jail for 12 years. He's unsafe. He doesn't need to be out there. I mean, the people that know him best say you should lock him.
- [31:14]
Chris
Well, that's often true. Like when you have a situation like this, you'll have family saying, I tried to get police to help me. I tried. And we are sitting here wondering how did we get to a point where Trump is taking over the police force in D.C. well, one of the reasons is you have these laws that have been put in place by progressive over time and now it's going to take us decades to try to extricate ourselves from them.
- [31:36]
Joey Jones
He's not mentally ill. You understand? That's BS if you can identify as trans because you know that exploits it. And if you go after little girls because you know you can do that, you that doesn't make you insane. That makes you opportunistic.
- [31:50]
Harold Ford Jr.
There is a bit of irony for the left here to say he's insane. Harold. It doesn't seem like anybody's really coming to the defense of this law. I mean, even his own attorney said that the system has let him down. In other words, they were almost arguing he should be in an asylum or something, that this law doesn't make sense. It is a Colorado law and Colorado has gone kind of off the rails on stuff. What is the fix here?
- [32:12]
Emily Compagno
Clearly, the first fix is to change this law. They apparently changed this law back in 2024 for what reason, I don't know. Or added some amendment to the state's competency law. This needs to be changed. If you're the governor of the state, if you're the leaders, the people who actually sponsored the change to the law, this can't be what you intended. And you should be the first out saying we want to change this immediately. And hopefully to Emily's point, we don't have to have a child assaulted or killed whose name will be the namesake on the change amendment. So I hope they just do it on their own. This is disgusting and I'm just glad the kids got away.
- [32:50]
Harold Ford Jr.
Emily, I think you said it on Outnumber today. He's going to go after the wrong kid with the wrong parent watching one day and that would be the end of him. And that's tragic all around. All right ahead, late night crybaby Jimmy Kimmel. He might put a full of Rosie, you might want to leave the country.

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel could be ready to follow in Rosie o' Donnell's footsteps and leave the country over President Trump. Watch this. I did get Italian citizenship.
- [33:47]

You do? Oh, that's amazing. I do have that.

And what's going on is, is as bad as you thought it was gonna be?

- [34:03]
Emily Compagno
He would like it to be. Greg, you were just on with Jimmy Fallon. I thought it was a great interview. Thank you, sir. I don't think Jimmy's got dual citizenship. Is there anything wrong with having dual citizenship?
- [34:16]
Joey Jones
Well, the first thing is following in Rosie's footsteps. They're hoofsteps. So that's. That's the thing. And in the same podcast, he said the Dems are destroying their party with extreme rhetoric. And then he says, I'm leaving the country, country because I fear for my life. Gets Trump is evil. It's kind of extreme. It's kind of a typical celebrity egoism that no one is coming after him. You're not that important. You're not dangerous enough to be a danger to anybody. You're somebody that we laugh at. You're a really rich guy. Congrats. You whine a lot, but you could take a private jet back and forth to Italy. That's basically what it is. And now. Stop there.
- [35:00]
Emily Compagno
DP your thoughts.
- [35:01]
Chris
It seemed to me like a way for him to pave the way for when his show gets canceled, he can say, I told you so.
- [35:07]
Emily Compagno
You feel the same way about this, Emil?
- [35:09]
Greg Gutfeld
Yes. And, you know, my grandfather and grandmother immigrated here from Sicily, from Italy, and he was.
- [35:16]
Emily Compagno
Do you have dual citizenship?
- [35:17]
Greg Gutfeld
I don't. Because there was a block of time when it used. You had to renounce your Italian to become a United States citizen. So my grandfather did. And if you renounce it, you can't go back. We're in the like anyway. What's I gonna say? Oh, that. So Russell Shorto said this about the Italian government. He said, In 20 years, they accomplished what centuries of invaders had not in Sicily, which is bring the island to ruin and starvation. And my point is, that is why my family immigrated here. They were escaping real tyranny. They were escaping real starvation. And so the notion that this Upper east side individual, who has reaped the benefits of this amazing country is now seeking to, without knowing history at all, compare this current situation to anything that our relatives underwent, to me is laughable. But bon voyage.

You're the only one at the table who served in the military. Does this strike you in a different way or does it offend you in a different way?
- [36:16]
Harold Ford Jr.
I think Afghanistan should offer me dual citizenship. When you leave that much of yourself somewhere, you kind of claim a stake to it, right? That's all I got to say about that.

The way the FAA has been, I don't know if I'd be doing barrel rolls right. Right now, even, even at 101 years old. Okay, so this is mine. So in Germany, there's someone named Christian Kallis and this person is best friends with a 220 pound American alligator and Apparently, Germans think this is really cool. This guy, he was a circus performer. And I just want to point out that in Germany, you got to be a circus performer to do this. In Florida, you have to own a pair of jorts. That's pretty commonplace. I do. I do. I made them myself, too. And so it's kind of cool. I mean, they've been together for more than 30 years. Obviously, he swims with it, and in a week or two, we'll be talking about how it killed him.
- [41:43]
Joey Jones
Are you sure he just swims with it? We're talking Germany. Those people are.
- [41:48]
Chris
They've been together 30 years.
- [41:50]
Joey Jones
I wonder what the secret is to being together for 30 years with an alligator.

Chris
She was looking at him quite lovingly.

Greg Gutfeld
Probably keep her fed.

On another note of ugly creatures, look at little Petunia. This is the world's ugliest dog. I think she's adorable. I actually think this was. I don't think she should have gotten it because I think she's cute, but she's really unclear. She won five grand, but, yeah, really, she looks $5,000.

That girl Jennifer.
- [42:23]

I think she won because her name is Petunia, which is. Is adorable. I like anything hairless. I think it's so cute. So that's the winner. And I said that out loud. I didn't mean to say that out loud. That's right. Sorry.
