Jesse Waters
Hello, everybody. I'm Jesse Waters along with Paul Morrow, Jessica Tarlov, Dana Perino and Greg Gutfeld. It's five o' clock in New York City and this is the five. Congratulations, California. This will not be your next governor.
Jessica Tarlov
AI is kind of a fancy thing. First of all, it's two letters. You need to get to go and need to be able to get where you need to go. As the name suggests, community banks are in the community.
Jesse Waters
The woke word salad queen bowing out of the governor's race saying this for now, my leadership and public service will not be in elected office. Maybe she has her sights set on 28, but the party she left in ruins is still fighting the culture war she championed. The Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad controversy has only gotten worse. The liberal media, influencers and celebrities all falling in line calling, calling it racist and straight from the Nazi regime.
Jessica Tarlov
The American eugenics testified by white supremacism.
Greg Gutfeld
Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My genes are blue. Talking about her good genes like that is Nazi propaganda.
Jessica Tarlov
That's Nazi propaganda.
Greg Gutfeld
Wow. It is one of the loudest and.
Jessica Tarlov
Most obvious racialized dog whistles.
Jesse Waters
But will all this outrage help the left with their glaring man problem? A recent analysis shows that masculine Democrats is an oxymoron in the eyes of many young men. Most struggle to name masculine leaders within the Democratic Party outside of former President Barack Obama. I know you've been dying to talk about Sydney Sweeney all day, but tell us your thoughts on Kamala Harris statement.
Jessica Tarlov
Well, I felt like maybe you were going to say, dana, well done. You told us she was not going to end up running. I think I said that. But I do think that this is the best decision Kamala Harris ever made because she was probably going to lose. And I think it also shows that she is not as powerful as some people might have thought. She believed she was going to clear the field that all the other Democrats were going to say, uh, Kamala Harris is running. Well, I guess I better step out of the way that wasn't happening. So she was going to have to fight for that nomination and probably lose it. Because if you remember, she was the first to drop out in 2019 before there was ever even a vote cast. She spent all that. She raised a ton of money. Then she lost all the money. Her campaign was a shambles. Everybody went on the record that worked for her campaign and then carried on into the White House saying, she's terrible. We have to reset this. We have to keep redoing it. Joe Biden picks her because Clyburn tells her, tells him to. And then that was a terrible thing for them all along. And then they had to do the switcheroo. She could have a great impact doing lots of other things. I do not think she will run for elected office again.
Jesse Waters
You can mourn your nominee, please, Jessica, and then tell us your thoughts on why your party is so crazy about Sydney Sweeney.
Dana Perino
I will do no morning or no craziness. I think it was the right decision for her. It would have been really tough. There were a number of meetings with high end donors in California who they're holding their money back. So you can't win a race unless that's going to happen. Now all eyes turn to Katie Porter, who's going to be the far left progressive candidate there. And there's a lot of buzz about whether Rick Caruso will try to get in. But a question always. Dave Hilton and Steve Hilton, who's already in. Rick Caruso I think would be interesting, especially in light of losing the LA mayor's race and then Karen Bass, management of the LA fires. On the Sydney Sweeney front, ad campaigns are supposed to have hot people in them that make you talk about the ads and eventually buy the product. And so this is a home run for American Eagle. So stock went up 18%. They have four times the traffic on the website. They're part of the conversation. Though I would say it is largely an online conversation. I asked a couple people who don't spend all day on their devices, what do you think about the potential eugenics American Eagle ad? And they were like, what are you talking about? But I think it was smart for them to use someone who's so popular right now. And I was not offended. Though I also have not bought the jeans, but I still like skinny jeans, which I know is just like a millennial thing.
Jesse Waters
Paul loves skinny jeans.
Paul Morrow
The skinnier, the particularly on. What's her name? Sydney Sweeney.
Jesse Waters
Yeah, what's her name?
Greg Gutfeld
What's that girl's name?
Dana Perino
Prep for today.
Paul Morrow
That's how you know you're getting older, right? You have no idea who the celebrities are. Don't say anything. All right, so, all right, Kamala not running. First of all, this is the equivalent of the New York Mets saying, yeah, we don't really want to win the World Series. Okay, you weren't going to win. That's obviously what went into this. And really, if you think about it, the conditions that created Kamala as the Democratic rock star were they couldn't have been more favorable to her, right? Because obviously you had the debacle with Joe Biden, right? And then all of a sudden, boom, she was the anointed. And the entire. I mean, you've never seen fundraising like that in so short a time. And yet it didn't work. We call that in law enforcement a clue. All right, so I agree with you, Dana. I think it was the right move. That said, I am going to say I think she has a future. She's going to have a future with the party. You know, the party likes her. She's personable, she's photogenic, all of that stuff. And that matters these days. You know, Greg, you said it one time, you know, that politics is supposed to be show business for ugly people. And it's not true in show business anymore. The reverse is also true in politics now. Good looking politicians, right? So I think she does have a future. That said, it's just not right now. The future is not what it used to be for Kamala. Let's move on real quick on the Sydney Sweeney front. The thing about jeans, all right, what do you think made her look like that if it wasn't jeans? Kale, she did a bunch of crunches or something and gave her those assets. It didn't go that way. All right? And just all I'm going to do is just reverse it now. And you know, I don't mean to be mean spirited, but come on now, if, let's say it was Beyonce who said that, right? Or if LeBron James said, no, it wasn't jeans that got me into the NBA, it's because I can do a lot of pull ups, you know, you'd laugh. Of course it has to do with your physically gifted. And there's nothing wrong with that. The problem is this is not about Nazism. It's about envy. And the people that what realistically social media has done, and it's bad for the Democrats particularly is that it's like Democratic, like makeup remover. There's no film anymore. There's no distance. We can See who they are. And so you get young women with purple hair and nose rings saying that Sydney Sweeney is a Nazi. Sydney Sweeney is not a Nazi. The campaign is not Nazism. And we've talked about this. Anytime you invoke Nazism, you've lost.
Jesse Waters
Greg, I know you've been dying to.
Greg Gutfeld
Talk about Sydney Sweeney, though it is quite a contrast. No one wants to see Kamala run. Everyone wants to see Sidney run.
Paul Morrow
So that's disgusting.
Greg Gutfeld
Let's talk about the masculinity thing. You know, in from the 1960s onward. Little history lesson, Dana. Many men pretended to be liberal just to get girls. Because of the 60s and the 70s, there are a lot of cute liberal girls you can impress by, you know, reading a summary on Karl Marx and Angela Davis. But then you realize over time that a lot of these women became more and more unhappy and less and less attractive. Attractive. They became less like Sidney and more like Rosie. It was like, you know what? Maybe this isn't the best place to be. So the only men that are left over in the Democrat party are authentic phonies. They've been doing it so long, they've lost their actual personality. Like Gavin Newsom. That isn't real. Eric Swalwell. That's not real. Cory Booker. He's just. He's a one man theater troupe. You know, the Sydney story, though, the reason why it's interesting is, and Jessica's right, that it is. It was kind of an Internet story. But then the media, who has nothing good to write about because of Trump doing so well, this is their story. So they amplified it. But it shows the vast difference in priorities between most Americans and junk food journalists. You know, most Americans, they think they're thinking about education, crime, economy, their mortgage. But these articles are generated by people, mostly women, sad, no family, no spouse, detached from actual concerns of life. So they have to create these stories that they find meaning in and that we find hysterical. They're actually the sad clowns of today. They're providing us with the entertainment and the segments we so desperately need during the summer. Then think about the anti woke backlash. Right now, everybody is laughing at this. Woke is dead. But I think it is driven by a realization that at least one to three generations were told told a lie about gender, sex and happiness that women were told by their favorite magazines from Cosmo to Glamour. You didn't need a man, but if you wanted a man, you could have many. And they shouldn't be like your dad. And there is no clock. You can be 25 forever. You can live this life forever. We're not going to forget you. But we do. So now you have women in their 30s and the 40s who are left behind, romantically and biologically casualties of the sexual revolution that we're told over and over again, don't be a Sydney Sweeney. Be an Elliot Page instead. So Sydney Sweeney is a reminder that women are always gonna be women, and men are always gonna be men who like women. And the people who preach differently, celebrities and elites, they could do so because they have the status and the fame to weather whatever outcome there is for their dumb choices. But the millions of women who bought those magazines and believe that beauty is patriarchy and monogamy is a prison, they don't have that luxury. They're stuck without a safety net. How's that?
Jesse Waters
Sydney Sweeney is a lot of history, Greg.
Jessica Tarlov
She replaced the shark Attack story for the summer.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes.
Jessica Tarlov
There's no Shark attack.
Greg Gutfeld
We need Sydney Sweeney week. Yes, it is. We would watch her run every day.
Jesse Waters
You remember the Carl's Jr. Ad?
Greg Gutfeld
Yes.
Jesse Waters
Every summer on Fox? No Business purpose?
Greg Gutfeld
No. Remember Fox? Every night, Spring break gone mad. Who did that?
Jesse Waters
What a bunch of animals.
Paul Morrow
I still read Playboy for the articles.
Jesse Waters
Coming up, President Trump takes a victory lap after sticking a fork in the Pannequins.
Greg Gutfeld
It's too late to apologize. I said it's too late.
Dana Perino
To a heart attack.
Jessica Tarlov
Do they have.
Paul Morrow

Jesse Waters
We're keeping the rates high and it's hurting people from buying houses, and we don't want that. We have a lot of money coming in and we have no inflation, and we should. And we're very strong and we should be lowering the rates.
Paul Morrow
So Democrats and the media are eating crow over Trump's economy as 47 pushes the federal Reserve to lower interest rates after a blockbuster GDP report. The US economy rose at 3% from April to June, far surpassing expectations. Tariff revenue is setting records, forcing Axios to admit Trump is eating other countries lunch on trade deals. But that did not stop Democrats from trying to spin the good numbers into a tizzy.
Greg Gutfeld
And while the Trump administration will try to wave rosy headlines about the Q2 number, today's GDP number is in fact a mirage because some ominous numbers lurk under the hood. It's what it's showing is that they're trying to do with the erratic nature of his policies by when he says that there's going to be tariffs, people try to load up on buying things and if and when they say they pull back, then all of a sudden they calm down. So you see this kind of whipsaw going on.
Paul Morrow
All right, Jessica, let's go clockwise here. What are you going to do with this? It seems to be working, but they're telling us it's not.
Dana Perino
No, it's a strong number. I think you will sound like an idiot if you say that's not a strong number. When we have strong numbers, we don't cut rates, which is what Powell came out and said. So we'll see what he does in September. He wants to look at the inflation numbers. But you know, when we were at point five percent, you got up to three. That's obviously a good thing. The congressman, the last one who was on was correct though, that the GDP number has been driven by this 35% decline in imports because everyone did front load when Liberation Day and he said all these tariffs are coming. They bought everything that they were going to need. So that boosted the GDP number for Q2. But again, I return to It's a strong number. A few of the things that I think people are paying attention to and should be Consumer spending only at 1.4% and it was 2.8% in 2024. Business spending is down to 1.2% from 1.9%. And Donald Trump in the press conference was talking about lowering rates. People need to be able to get homes. Homebuilding is really suffering in this down. Absolutely massively. The whole residential investment sector. So that's my Cloudy with a chance of meatballs. I don't know. It was a good number.
Paul Morrow
That was a lot of numbers. Yeah.
Dana Perino
GDP report.
Paul Morrow
Jesse, I have to ask you, you know, it seems to me 3% a good number. And this you can look. Lies. Damn lies and statistics. What is it that we're not getting that is so terrible here? I don't, I don't see it.
Greg Gutfeld
Jesse, you type.
Jesse Waters
No, I mean, I'm just trying to fact check. Jessica. She says business investments down. Business investments exploding.
Dana Perino
1.2. Industrial production last quarter.
Jesse Waters
I'll send this to you and you can look at the numbers. I think you're cherry picking, Jessica, because right now we have an economic boom.
Greg Gutfeld
Even in cherry picking is up cnbc.
Dana Perino
It's not because the people have been sentenced. Okay.
Jesse Waters
But that's also. I'm glad you brought that up, Greg, because you keep saying, like the fruits dying on the vine.
Dana Perino
I said, and then you can't help but fight with me. I don't know what's wrong with you. Just enjoy yourself.
Jesse Waters
I am enjoying myself. You have no idea how much. But you're saying Donald Trump created 2 million jobs since he got sworn in for Americans. Okay, for Americans. A half a million illegals have lost their job under Donald Trump. Have anybody. Have you seen fruit dying on the vine? Have you seen bathrooms not being cleaned? Have you seen all. You said the economy was going to fall apart and that we weren't going to have fruit on the table? That's not happening, Jessica. Everything you've said has been wrong. Has just made fun of you all morning. They said you should not have Democrats be your money managers because they don't know what they're talking about. Except Nancy Pelosi, Warren Buffett. Except Nancy Pelosi, Warren Buffett and. And Jerome should be replaced by Sidney Sweeney because this guy is terrible. He screwed Trump in his first term, raised into the bots. He's single handedly responsible for Biden's inflation getting out of control. He was late on that. And then he's late to cut. The guy doesn't know what he's talking about. We had a 1% number, 2.1%, Jessica. We had strong jobs growth, strong business investment and the tariffs are going to give us stimmies. We're going to have stimmy checks from 600 to 20, $400 and then we'll pay down with some of the debt. I know it's not the smartest idea. Yeah, it's a dumb idea politically, Greg.
Greg Gutfeld
Terrible idea.
Jesse Waters
You don't need it, but other people do.
Greg Gutfeld
No, the whole point of this was for the deb.
Dana Perino
Yes, we'll do both.
Jesse Waters
And for the first time in a decade, we have a budget surplus.
Paul Morrow
Whoa. So I'm glad we all agree. All right. They give it us. Listen, by now, from what I understood, the coasts were going to be underwater. We should have no bananas or avocados. Right. And thanks to the tariffs, we're all going to be like, you know, living on subsistent potatoes or something. So at what point are they going to stop?
Jessica Tarlov
Well, politics is of the moment and Trump's having a great moment. And the Democrats are stuck in this thing of like we cannot get out of our own way. They keep stepping on a rake. Biden's projections for economic growth were 1.5% from here for the future. One thing that hasn't been really talked about, at least not here yet, is that in the One big beautiful bill. There's a lot of things that happen this year. That's not always the case with a big spending bill. Sometimes that's often to the future, like energy tax credits for Biden. Remember the Bidens kept saying, but it's coming. The economic growth is coming. What the President has done is said first of all to his energy secretary and the Department of Interior and epa. Lee Zeldin, do what you need to do to unleash American energy so that we can have more here. So that's working. Energy prices are down. I think I'm still in the wait and see mode on tariffs because when the tariffs were first announced, it was like 183, 185% on this or that. And it was like none of that turned out to be true. They're 10%, they're 15%. So I think that is, we still, still remains to be seen. But the economy is ready to roar and it's going to roar this year. It's not well out into the future. So I think if Democrats, if they're not crazed and they're having a smart meeting, can sit back and say, what can we do to possibly get in front of this? Because President Trump's good economic news is probably going to last for another year or so.
Paul Morrow
You know, the argument can be made that it all comes from energy. Trump makes that argument. And historically that tends to be accurate. I mean, realistically, we have all this lng, we have all this stuff now. We're going to be selling to Europe. Energy is where it all starts, man. But we got to move on, Greg, you got to take on this. We were talking in the green room. Go ahead.
Cory Booker
That's.
Greg Gutfeld
We sure were. What were we talking about?
Paul Morrow
I thought I was, you know.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes, we were. She should run the Fed. She is well fed. I mean, she's like, she's curvy. I'm going to get myself out of this somehow.
Paul Morrow
Joe.
Greg Gutfeld
They keep repeating the same mistakes, the Democrats with this sort of thing. And I hate beating them up on it, but I'm lying. They don't understand life, that I think they've become so used to how easy it is just to make a brash statement and not have to back it up, that that's all that life is. It's like instant gratification, no pain. But they forget that the recipe for a successful life is some short term pain, some risk, followed by long term benefits. So they won't actually be patient for Trump will do this and they won't wait for the benefits. They'll just say the whole world is going to end. Mainly because it's wishful thinking, but also because they don't understand how things work. You know, Scott Adams, haven't mentioned him in a while. He made a great insight. Trump realizes that if a problem doesn't go away, you simply monetize it. So if we can't stop this war, a war that we're sending arms to, well, let's get paid. You know, global trade oftentimes not, not fair to us. Let's throw a price tag on it. Look at the campuses. Like you can't, you know, you could throw up your arms about the antisemitism on Columbia and Harvard. No, he says let's just bill them. You know, talk about justice. Jessica Chart like making a profit off anti Semitism is absolutely genius and that's what he's doing to them.
Dana Perino
Anti SEM.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, it's the set. It's a disincentivizing behavior. This is who Trump is. If you're going to do something, we aren't crazy about it, then we want something in return. It's like if I, if I moved from the 5 to Fox and Friends, well, in my negotiations, I would factor in having to get up at 3am and working with Brian Kilmeade so they would have to. I would monetize that. That's what Trump does with everything.
Paul Morrow
What are you going to do with the 600 bucks next?
Greg Gutfeld
My hair done.
Paul Morrow
Spartacus calls out his fellow Democrats in a wild Senate floor showdown.
Jesse Waters
I lost you. I lost you to the summer wind.
Paul Morrow
The autumn when our country used to flex.
Greg Gutfeld
It is time to take the quiz. It's five questions in less than five minutes. We asked people on the streets of New York City to play along. Let's see how you do.
Dana Perino
Take the quiz every day at thequiz box, then come back here to see how you did.
Paul Morrow
Thank you for taking the quiz.
Jesse Waters
Fall in love.
Greg Gutfeld
Thank the good Lord up above that he said one down.
Jessica Tarlov
Fresh off another round of awful polling. Desperate Democrats are trying anything to get their party's mojo back. Cory Booker going from a stand a thon to a screamathon raging against his fellow Dems for being complicit with Trump.
Cory Booker
This, to me is the problem with Democrats in America right now is we're willing to be complicit to Donald Trump. It's time for Democrats to have a backbone. It's time for us to fight. Don't question my integrity. Don't question my motives. I'M standing for Jersey. I am standing for my police officers. I'm standing for the Constitution and I'm standing for what's right. And dear God, if you want to come at me that way, you're going to have to take it up with me because there's too much on the line right now in America.
Jessica Tarlov
But it may be Senator Spartacus who needs the wake up call. Not everyone on the left is raving about his ranting. There's a way to change a bill and then there's a way to get in the opening segment of Morning Joe and on the front page of the New York Times. And Cory chose the latter rather than the former. He knew if he did this, it would be a viral moment. There is a lot to say here and I'm going to start with Jessica, because the bill that he's talking about was out of the Judiciary Committee. It passed unanimously. He wasn't there. So then he decided to trash everybody. But he did it for a very specific reason, I think. What do you he makes money. He gets a ton of small dollar fundraising from those FedEx Johns and that's why he doesn't care about the party. He will go ahead and throw them under the bus if it puts him ahead a little bit.
Dana Perino
Well, I definitely think there is a fundraising element. And he's still high off the 25 hours straight that he did a couple months ago. Right. And was widely praised for that. And yes, the Democratic base wants you to fight harder, but not to fight against Amy Klobuchar and Katherine Cortez Masto, who are the two women that he was going after with. And they pushed back, I think, pretty well, saying, first of all, you didn't bother to show up for the vote. You didn't offer amendments and that we've sent these bills through a committee before. And just because we don't like Donald Trump and we want to oppose him doesn't mean that all of the business of the country can halt. This is about funding law enforcement. And think of the headlines of Democrats vote to defund police. We lived through that once. That didn't really go well. And I also like, and I like Cory Booker. It's not about that. But someone like Cortez Masto who wins in a swing state, I always say defer to the person that runs the really hard races and wins. Like you're running in New Jersey. I understand it has gotten a little bit redder, but it's still a blue state. You're going to get reelected. Same thing with Jasmine Crockett, you can say whatever you want if you're D +30. Like, look to the people who actually need to save their seats.
Jessica Tarlov
Jesse, he's probably lucky that there were no binders around when Klobuchar was watching all this.
Jesse Waters
You know who doesn't yell Trump, right? Bush never yelled. Reagan never yelled.
Dana Perino
Obama didn't yell.
Jesse Waters
Obama didn't really yelled at you. Male leaders don't raise their voice like that. People always say, Trump's crazy. He's chaotic. He's this brash. When do you ever see him go? You never see him do that. He's usually in control. Men are supposed to be guided by reason. They're supposed to exhibit tranquility. They're not supposed to let their emotions get the best of them.
Greg Gutfeld
That's what happens with women. Women.
Jesse Waters
That's you. That's what women do. Cory Booker should not be acting like that on the floor of the U.S. senate. And I'm not afraid of him. Why is he acting like, what do you want to do something? What do you want to do something about it? And who's he talking to? He's talking to a female colleague. That's crazy.
Jessica Tarlov
What if you run into him at a bar?
Greg Gutfeld
See, I don't think Jesse goes to those bars.
Jessica Tarlov
Senator Booker does seem a little thirsty.
Greg Gutfeld
That he does. You know, can you put that video up just on the side? Just imagine. You know what he reminds me of when I'm looking at this? Every video on Instagram of somebody on a plane in the aisle, like, yelling, and there's people up there looking at him going, dude, just sit down. We're gonna. We're all gonna have to get off the plane. And he said, my seat won't go down. He talks, too. Like, I've said this before. Like, he just took a hot bite of pizza.
Cory Booker
So his mouth is always like, I.
Jesse Waters
Have my mouth, it's just burning.
Cory Booker
I want to talk about Trump, but.
Greg Gutfeld
My mouth is on fire, and I'm.
Cory Booker
Just tired of it. Don't come near me.
Greg Gutfeld
I want to know, who does he want us to fight against, and who is he fighting for? If he's. If it's all about Trump, I mean, can you get any more intense against Trump than you already were? The guy was nearly assassinated twice. I don't know exactly what you want the party to do. You know, this is the problem with Trump taking over the lane of common sense. It leaves everybody else on the outside. So Trump has the 80, they've got the 20, and he's stuck somewhere in the wilderness trying to figure out what he is, and he doesn't know what he is. So you have all of these crazy, you know, distraught Delta passengers screaming about something.
Cory Booker
You know, don't talk to that man.
Jessica Tarlov
If the Democrat who figures out how to co opt Trump on an issue and work with him on something is the one that will be able to succeed. I just came up with that. But I want to ask you, he said he's doing this for the cops. He's doing this for the cops of New Jersey.
Paul Morrow
Yeah. ISA cops, what happened. Right.
Jessica Tarlov
Good point.
Paul Morrow
So to me, Greg, he's more like. It's like professional wrestling.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah.
Paul Morrow
You know, I mean, he's like, you know, sergeant outrage in this corner from the wilds of New Jersey. But here's the thing, you know, it's so performative. And there is a quote that always comes home to me with stuff like this. Ernest Hemingway said, don't confuse movement with action. Right. This is not action, this is movement. All of this noise, all of this outrage. And it goes to the idea that with the left, and I'm not saying Democrat, I mean the left, the far left, who really is where the energy in the party is these days, it's all about the process. It's about the thing that you see. It's about the journey. It's not about the arrival. And the arrival is what matters to the American people. And just to be a wet blanket here, you know, that kind of thing, where we're already where we are. They've had at least two probably more attempted assassinations on Donald Trump. This guy's a lawmaker, right? Your job is to make laws, not noise, not threats, and not to tell people out there, fight harder. And if you're a nut bag someplace out there and you hate Donald Trump and you hate the Republicans, and this guy is not saying, we need to pass this law, we need to. In other words, he's not acting like a statesman, he's just saying, fight, fight, fight. Well, that message is received by a lot of people out there. And then we're all supposed to say, no, it's not what he meant. It's not what he meant. He's got to be a lot more responsible than this because he's a senator now. This is not. He's some, you know, he's on the school board someplace. He's a prominent guy. Yeah, he talks. He's got peanut butter on the roof of his mouth or whatever. But the bottom line is people listen, and it's an important thing. And you're up there on camera. Everybody's listening. You're one of a limited number of senators, right? We got 100. And you're saying fight, fight, fight all the time. I think it's the wrong message. Be an adult, be a statesman.
Jessica Tarlov
Watch for his fundraising numbers next quarter. But they spike, you know.
Greg Gutfeld
Well said. Fight, fight, fight. Yep. He's stealing Trump's speech.
Jessica Tarlov
Yep.
Paul Morrow
Well, thank you for undercoating that point.
Jesse Waters
He was shot.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes.
Jessica Tarlov
All right, up next, the New York Times has a new nickname for Trump's immigration enforcement. They're calling it Juan Crow.
Greg Gutfeld
I wasn't undercut. Well, well, whiskey. Looks like we meet again. What you want to do is save hundreds.
Jesse Waters
Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile.
Greg Gutfeld
Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try@mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment.
Dana Perino
Of $45 for three month plan equivalent to $15 per month required new customer offer for first three months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks busy taxes and fees extra CMINTMO.

As Trump and ICE rid American streets of dangerous illegal aliens, the liberal New York Times is resisting by breaking out the biggest weapon in their arsenal. Wordplay. An op ed piece rebranding Jim Crow to Juan Crow. I don't get it. The Times arguing that the Trump administration is accelerating toward a new modern deer of Juan Crow just downstream of Jim and Jane. Nice. But ICE isn't slowing down. They're speeding up, announcing a huge recruitment blitz and offering new agents $50,000 bonuses and plenty of other benefits. Paul, there seems to be across the board in, I guess, law enforcement, a new energy, a positive energy. You're no longer the target. You're actually being treated with respect. Do you see that happening with ice or, I mean, they're still being vilified.
Paul Morrow
I mean, look, you know, that's a very closed shop. Those guys lean on each other very heavily, and that really matters. But I will say this. You, you know, when cops sit around talking to each other, patrol cars, things like that, downtime, when they tell horror stories to each other, they don't talk about getting shot and things like that. You know what they talk about? Getting indicted. That's what they're really worried about. That's the thing where you hear about why the guy did the Right thing. He got out of the car, he chased the guy, he bumped into somebody. Now they want to take his pension, they want to take his house, they want to take his car. So when you. That's why I'm putting myself in their spot. What you do then is you retreat, you turtle up. And we're expecting these guys to do some very tough stuff. They're going into some very rough neighborhoods, they're pulling people out. You don't entirely know what you're getting into, because when you're going after illegals, there's been no border friction, Right? So that means you have no biometrics, you have no idea who they are, where they're from, whether they're armed, whether they have military training, whether they got nothing to lose. They got 40 warrants someplace. They don't want to go back, and they'll fight you to the death. So as far as ICE goes, if there's ever an agency that you need to keep the morale up to do what we're asking them to do, it is that agency and the fact that Juan Crowe, you know, in other words, they're comparing it to Jim Crow. And the idea that you're comparing these guys who were asking to do the job I just described to people who purposely tried to continue slavery is disgusting. That's why the New York Times shouldn't be taking serious.
Greg Gutfeld
If they're complaining about slavery, that slave labor. I just. Jesse, I'm always excited when Paul's here because I learned a new kind of cop phrase. They're going to turtle up. Yeah. You were like Kojak with hair.
Jesse Waters
I didn't even know what turtle up means.
Greg Gutfeld
That means retreat. Go back into your shell.
Jesse Waters
I like that. I like that. I felt like that on Outnumbered Once. Ladies, just stop. Did you know that a million illegals have already self deported and we're deporting thousands a day? No one noticed because there's so many of them. They're all leaving and you don't even notice a difference because there's that many illegals in the country. Being an ICE agent is the best job. If you think about it. All you're doing is playing hide and seek. All you're doing is you're it. You're it. It's the most fun law enforcement job there is. You get to go out, find the bad hombres, cuff them up, throw them in the van, next day, wake up, do the same thing all over again. And you're never wrong. Like, you always get the bad guy. Like, how many times have we found out, like, oops, we deported an American 0 times. They're batting a thousand. It literally is the most fun police job you could possibly.
Greg Gutfeld
You just did. You, like, are the HR recruiter for.
Jesse Waters
ICE and you get a $50,000 bonus. That's better than a tariff stimulus.
Dana Perino
I thought life was horrible for ICE agents. And they have to wear masks because they're getting doxed and attacked constantly. That's what you told me last year.
Jesse Waters
You get to wear a mask like the Wild west with a little band up.
Dana Perino
We heard from Paul saying they have to go into these tough spots like immigration courts and car washes, which is where they're pulling people out of.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, but you know the budget.
Dana Perino
You do, actually, because their immigration court. They're on the docket. You literally know everything about them and you're still showing up to take them out. ICE now has a $37.5 billion budget, which is larger than the IDF's budget. And we all know what Israel can do militarily. There is no reason that we should be choosing to fund them to that level while you're cutting food benefits, SNAP benefits for people, health care benefits. It's completely ludicrous. And it's why the American public now has a negative view of ice over 50%.
Jesse Waters
They're not cutting SNAP benefits. They're just saying you can't buy Doritos with food stamps.
Dana Perino
That's absolutely not true.
Jesse Waters
It is true.
Dana Perino
That is not true.
Jesse Waters
You can't buy candy with food stamps. That's not a cut.
Dana Perino
Second tier senators like Josh Hawley would tell you that that talking point is invalid.
Paul Morrow
Let me tell you something.
Jesse Waters
Second tier.
Greg Gutfeld
How dare you call them.
Jesse Waters
Josh Hawley is my favorite center. Also highest rated.
Dana Perino
What?
Jesse Waters
We run the numbers. He's the highest rated, like, for your show? Yes.
Dana Perino
Oh, it's not like a real rate. It's like your rate.
Jesse Waters
Well, no, it's the ratings that we tabulate.
Dana Perino
I thought it's not who makes you look good.
Jesse Waters
He's very well liked in Missouri as well.
Dana Perino
Okay.
Greg Gutfeld
This is the best debate ever. So, Dana.
Jessica Tarlov
Yes?
Greg Gutfeld
I don't know. I don't really have a question.
Jessica Tarlov
I'll add a couple of things. One, I think it's really interesting. If you remember, it was the New York Times staff who went into fits of conniptions and tears because Senator Tom Cotton had an op ed several years ago. The deputy editor of the Opinion page had to resign. And then, you know, they run things like this and we, of course, amplify it. So there's that. But also it was Joe Biden who kept talking about Jim Crow 2.0.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes.
Jessica Tarlov
And he talked about Jim Eagle. And basically that was about voter id, if you remember. And that was one of the reasons that Atlanta lost the MLB game because it was based on a lie. And about 80% of African Americans who have been asked about voter ID support it. So this whole thing, I think that any comparisons to Jim Crow are invalid after that.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes, and it's racist. Juan Crow, Really? You could do better. New York Times No, I thought it was pretty good. Coming up, why Women Really Want a Man With a Plan.

Dana Perino
Do you run your husband's social calendar? The New York Times is warning about the pitfalls of wives acting as social secretaries or man keeping, explaining that the term describes the work women do to meet the social and emotional needs of their men and men in their lives. From supporting their partners through daily challenges and inner turmoil to encouraging them to meet up with their friends. Dana this sounds like being with someone.
Jessica Tarlov
No, here's the thing. I think Peter would probably say, okay, here's the thing. I would love for Peter to say, guess what? I called Paul and Joe and they're coming down for the weekend and I got reservations at the club. We're going to go at 7 o' clock and then we're going to do. But before he can do that, I've already done it. So it's like he, I can't, I don't even give Peter a chance.
Dana Perino
Peter needs a chance, Greg.
Greg Gutfeld
You know, imagine this story in reverse. A male author writing about how to endure his woman's mental health and her daily struggles. You'd have to imagine it cuz it would never be published, especially in the New York Times, who last week did a piece on how hard it is to date men. Now it's how hard it is to keep men. What's next? Next week it's gonna be how hard it is to bury them in your backyard. New York Times. You're the reason why everybody's all screwed up, up.
Dana Perino
How does the social calendar in your house work?
Jesse Waters
Jesse I control the big stuff, the trips and such, but she does little things. But the other day, all of a sudden she was like, let's go to the beach this weekend. And we went to the beach and had the best time. So now I'm thinking about giving her a little more freedom this weekend. She can plan whatever she wants.
Dana Perino
Emma, get excited. You've been let loose.
Greg Gutfeld
Do you ever listen to Jess Murph? I think you'd like her song 1965.
Jesse Waters
Wait, you mean BL strip by Jess Murph? No, it's the best song. That's the song of the summer.
Greg Gutfeld
Let me.
Paul Morrow
Let me just translate all of that. Jesse's wife runs the show. All right.
Jesse Waters
Entirely true, Paul. But you are a good detective.
Paul Morrow
I've seen your Instagram, bro.
Jesse Waters
Why? It's a lot of family.
Paul Morrow

Dana Perino

They also call it the Tom Shalhou wallaby. And the zookeepers have to applying sunscreen to marshmallow. That's the name of the wallaby to protect her ears, face and tail. And there she is. She's so white right now that she actually.
