Key Topics & Insights

1. Mariachi Madness & Boston's Sanctuary Battle

(00:34–08:49)

• Jesse Watters opens with a fiery account of Mayor Wu hosting an anti-ICE rally in Boston, calling it “a fiesta for illegal felons,” and mocking the use of a mariachi band to “fire up the Wokesters.” (00:34)
• The panel addresses Boston’s clash with the Trump administration over sanctuary city policies, with Wu defying federal threats to pull funding.
• Discussion centers around serious crimes committed by some undocumented migrants and Boston’s history with immigration.
• Kellyanne Conway: “We have a diminishing number of people now who are actually siding with people like Mayor Wu... In March... the Trump administration goes in there and it’s effective. They arrest over 370 illegal migrants, 200-plus had serious criminal felonies...” (02:51)
• Panelists contrast “old school” immigration (requiring jobs/sponsors, low tolerance for criminals) with current policies, claiming Democratic leaders undermine enforcement and put communities at risk.
• Debate on painting the border wall black: Trump’s idea to deter illegal crossings, described by Dana Perino as making it “even harder for people to climb” and encouraging “abidance of federal law.” (02:21)

2. Immigration, Polls, and Policy Contradictions

(05:34–11:21)

• Jessica Tarlov rebuts, pointing out Trump’s immigration tactics aren’t as politically popular as claimed: “Only 38% support deporting all illegal immigrants... In the latest Gallup polling, 79% now have the highest view in recorded history saying immigration is a good thing for the country.” (05:34)
• She highlights that sweeping immigration raids are unpopular and accuses Republicans of exaggerating criminal immigrant numbers.
• Polling battles: Greg Gutfeld dismisses polling analytics in favor of the 2024 election results: “The only poll that matters happened in November 2024. Don’t listen to the Washington Post. They lied to you.” (08:51)
• Ongoing argument about conflating legal and illegal immigration and the complexities of “worse first” deportation policies.

3. Democratic Party Identity & Trump’s Showmanship

(13:09–19:24)

• Discussion shifts to Trump’s Rose Garden DJ session, used as a metaphor for his “swagger” and the Democrats’ alleged lack of fun or identity.

• Kellyanne Conway: “They have screwed it up on the issues over time. It's showing in the registration numbers… The modern Democratic Party is collapsing. It's hemorrhaging voters, but it's also broke. It's bereft of ideas. It's not fun.” (15:05)
• Greg Gutfeld: “You can't be fun when everything fun became evil… The Dems became the party of victims, and victims never succeed because they blame their failures on other people.” (18:50)
• Notable critique of Democratic leadership, with references to popular figures, identity politics, and calls for an “outsider.”

4. Cultural Commentary & Race Discussions

(24:26–31:51)

• Segment tackles recent comments by Joy Reid about white men and accusations of “race-baiting” from the left.
• Jesse Watters: “What happens when you get 86’d from the legacy media is that you have to survive in the wilderness without a platform. So she’s like a B2 bomber... drops race bomb after race bomb for clicks.” (25:47)
• Jessica Tarlov distances the Democratic Party from Reid’s remarks, suggesting Democrats will “change the way they speak to specific groups” and cut back on identity politics (27:03).

• Dana Perino: “Never try to tell people ‘do you not know who I am?’ because it’s always going to make it worse for you.” (33:49)
• Kellyanne Conway: “This is a culture that’s being developed now. Resist arrest, spit at police officers, be mean to them, don’t respect authority.” (34:23)
• Jesse Watters flips the script, criticizing the officers for “escalating the situation,” while Greg Gutfeld credits body cams for showing the reality police face.

6. Wet Wipe Island and Panel Banter

(38:05–41:05)

• London’s "Wet Wipe Island," a massive sewage clog in the Thames, becomes fodder for humor and jabs about flushing etiquette.
• Greg Gutfeld: “I once saw a turtle with a four-hour erection. So, Jessica, they’re calling it Wet Wipe Island. When Bill Clinton heard that, he actually booked a flight.” (40:26)

Tone & Style

The episode features sharp back-and-forth exchanges, pointed humor, and off-the-cuff jokes—consistent with The Five’s panel style. Host personalities are on full display: Jesse’s sarcasm, Greg’s dark wit, Dana’s analytical calm, Kellyanne’s partisan fire, and Jessica’s data-driven pushback. The mood oscillates between heated (immigration, race) and playfully absurd (British sewage, DJ Trump).

Summary Takeaway

"Mariachi Madness" offers a fast-paced, often combative look at current events through the distinct lens of The Five’s personalities. Immigration policies, sanctuary cities, and the “culture war” are central, but the episode is also threaded with recurring themes: partisan ridicule, worries about Democratic decline, and an insistence on authenticity and American tradition, all peppered with levity and unsparing one-liners.

[Jesse Waters]

Hello, everybody. I'm Jesse Waters along with Kellyanne Conway, Jessica Tarlov, Dana Perino, and Greg Gutfeld. It's five o' clock in New York City, and this is the five. It was a fiesta for illegal felons, everybody. A mariachi band firing up the Wokesters. At an anti ice rally in Boston hosted by Woke Mayor Michelle Wu. She was defending the city's sanctuary policies in defiance of the DOJ that's threatening federal action by yanking their funding.

[Dana Perino]

Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures. Unlike the Trump administration, Boston follows the.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Law.

[Jessica Tarlov]

A beacon of freedom and a home for everyone.

[Jesse Waters]

Mayor Wu can serenade illegals all she wants, but here's the alleged child predators. Boston's harboring bad hombres with rap sheets for crimes like raping a child under 16 and other horrific offenses. Meanwhile, illegals will be saying ah, shucks at the new Cornhusker Clink ice facility in Nebraska. It can already pop in 200 people, with plans to expand the bucket to 300. And DHS Secretary Christy Noem is about to turn up the heat after President Trump asked her to add a coat of black paint to make his big, beautiful wall hotter.

[Dana Perino]

In the hot temperatures down here, when something is painted black, it gets even.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Warmer and it will make it even.

[Dana Perino]

Harder for people to climb. So we are going to be painting the entire southern border wall black to make sure that we encourage individuals to not come into our country illegally, to not break our federal laws, but that they will abide and come to our.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Country the right way so that they.

[Dana Perino]

Can stay and have the opportunity to become United States citizens and pursue the American dream.

[Jesse Waters]

All right, Kellyanne Wu on a collision course with the Trump administration. How does that look like to you?

[Kellyanne Conway]

It looks terrible for her. We have a diminishing number of people now who are actually siding with people like Mayor Wu.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Why?

[Kellyanne Conway]

Because look what happened In March of 2025, just a couple of months ago, the Trump administration goes in there and it's effective. They arrest over 370 illegal migrants, 200 plus had serious criminal felonies under their belts, including one 32 year old jerk who had been arrested for the aggravated rape of a minor and some other offenses. They also Jesse, they've been successful this past May, over 1500 arrests. This is working in cities like Boston. Boston was a melting pot for many years of immigrants. I'm half Irish, half Italian. Folks like that would go to Boston, but they'd have to have a job or a sponsor or both. If they came here as a known criminal, they didn't get in. If they became a criminal after they were here, they were pushed out. That's the way the American dream, the American system has always worked. I always say, shine a light on the left because when more people get to see how ridiculous their antics are, their foolishness. Mayor Wu Jesse is not just defying the Trump administration. She is actively saying to people, here's how to resist the DOJ's attempts to comply with federal immigration law. She's telling people, as the chief lawmaker of the city, she's telling people to resist the law. These are not just fighting words. I think that folks like her are putting themselves in tremendous legal peril. The other thing I would just say about it is that when she, when she shows all these people, it just reminds me of the folks in my home of DC who are out there protesting. It's never the people whose communities are most affected. It's people telling you what the people in the most affected communities want you to do for them. In D.C. for example, the protesters are a bunch of rich white liberals who live near me in a nice part of D.C. it's not the folks who are saying, yes, please more police presence, please less homeless, please fewer drugs, please safe passage for kids to get to school and not crawl across nonsense. I also the trend, the MS.13, all these folks have been brought to heel in Wu's Boston because of the tough on crime policies. And as for painting the border wall black, President Trump wanted this done in his first term. He asked for this several times. There were a few Democrats in the Oval Office who didn't like that idea. I'm so glad Kristi Noemi's out there.

[Jesse Waters]

With her own paint roller brush and a mariachi band. Jessica, when you set these press conferences up, does Wu say Democrats? Does Wu say, book me a mariachi band to lead in with it?

[Jessica Tarlov]

I'm not really sure how to do that. I do a lot of things, but event planning is not actually one of them. I haven't been one for the song and Dance, whether you're, you know, yodeling outside of the Department of Education or mariachi band. But Michelle Wu is very popular in Boston, and Donald Trump's immigration policy is not. And you can tell what's going on because people like Stephen Miller and even, you know, what we just heard are talking about an immigration policy that is not actually reflective of how it's being put into practice. That's why Donald Trump is down between 5 and 15 points on immigration. Only 38% support deporting all illegal immigrants. They were saying that they were going to go worst first. That is not how they're doing this. The raids at Home Depots and immigration courts, it's not sitting well with the American people, and it's having the opposite effect of what they wanted. We now have in the latest Gallup polling, 79% now have the highest view in recorded history saying immigration is a good thing for the country. And before you say it was never about not liking immigrants, we just want you to do it the legal way. We just want you to do it the legal way. Part of that also was that they didn't want you going around and picking up people who had been here for decades and were positive members of their communities. Say about D.C. that it's all, you know, white, rich people that are doing the protesting. And I saw Stephen Miller said that as well. But the Washington Post is out with new polling. 79% of D.C. residents oppose Trump's takeover of D.C. police, including 80% of black residents and 60, 60%, 67% of Latino residents. That sounds to me like a widespread, widespread problem of authoritarian overreach on the part of Donald Trump.

[Jesse Waters]

Well, actually, it's not because the country voted to get the bad hombres out.

[Jessica Tarlov]

But those are bad ombres.

[Jesse Waters]

Sure. What about the guy charged with raping a kid? Jessica, under your rules, that guy's not a criminal because he hasn't been convicted. Yes, it is, Dana.

[Dana Perino]

Well, just zooming out just a little bit. So you have a situation where you have Wu and Healy, the governor of Massachusetts, claiming states rights. Okay. Do you remember when Texas Governor Greg Abbott tried to send Texas National Guard to help defend the border? And the Biden administration said, you can't do that. That's a federal issue. But the feds weren't doing the job, so he tried to make it. The state was to go and do the job. Now you have what is a federal responsibility, which is border responsibility, border enforcement, which extends into people who are in communities, especially the ones who have committed crimes. Accused of committing crimes and they're saying, oh no, this is a states rights issue. None of that makes sense. So they have a cognitive dissonance on that. I wouldn't be surprised if the Supreme Court tries to take this up quickly when they get back and do some sort of expedited thing. Because I think that the country needs more clarity. I think the governors need more clarity, the mayors and all of the new ICE agents. Because this is going to get clogged up in the courts unless there is some sort of clarification or you're going to have other problems. I mean, maybe, I don't know. I think it's too early to tell how the DC crime thing is actually going to turn out in terms of results and also public opinion. If they get, if crime gets under control and people feel a lot safer than those numbers could improve dramatically. I think it's too early to tell.

[Jesse Waters]

Greg.

[Greg Gutfeld]

The only poll that matters happened in November 2024. You don't have to listen to the Washington Post. You don't have to listen to these polls anymore. They lied to you. They were wrong about everything. Has anyone in the legacy media ever asked the liberal leader how many illegals are in your city or your state or your country? It seems to me if you wanted to really fix a problem, you should at least know the size of the problem. And what does that tell you? They never saw it as a problem. It was just a solution to pad up the census. But if you're feeling filling a bucket and you don't care if the bucket can carry those gallons, it's either a sign of mental illness or, or sabotage. So now we're stuck cleaning up the mess. And it's not pretty and we're getting yelled at for doing it, but we're doing it. Homes weren't vetted for these migrant kids. You didn't know that because you didn't count them. So now we're stuck being the bad guy for cleaning up your frickin mess. You know, the Dems should be happy because remember how they fretted about how the illegals would no longer mow their lawns or wipe their asses or trim their overgrown bush. Good news. There's still plenty of low wage workers willing to do the jobs that were beneath you. And get this, they're getting paid more because there's no competition from the cheaper labor, that is the slaves that you imported over. Should the party that was always screaming about living wages, shouldn't they be happy that Americans are finally getting paid a Little more now that you got rid of the illegal labor. No, they're not, because they didn't do it. They didn't want to do it. All about the census once again, how would you do this differently? Would you no longer deport? Would you no longer deport the worst first? It doesn't matter because you conflated both from the start, just like you're doing with a mariachi band and MS.13 to you, it's the same damn thing, legal and illegal. Worst first. Everybody, it's all the same. But the White House distinguished worse from the first. In order to do that, however, you had to go through the millions of people that you let in. That's how you find the worst surprise. You don't even cooperate with that through your sanctuary city mess. This is another issue, Jessica, that you have lost the right to complain. You broke it. You don't get to tell us how to fix it. That is our job. They didn't vote Trump in, they voted you out. And if we listen to you, it is a betrayal to them.

[Jesse Waters]

And I have not noticed any ungroomed bushes. And I've been looking ahead. DJ Don tests out the new White House speakers and it's got the liberal head spinning.

[Dana Perino]

So dj donald was spinning tunes at the White House. President Trump blasting his personal playlist while testing out the speakers at the freshly renovated Rose Garden. And that kind of showman flair is part of his trademark identity. It stands in sharp contrast to the Democrats who are struggling with an identity crisis. One of the Obama podcast bro said he had to admit his party doesn't have much beyond opposing the president.

[Greg Gutfeld]

The debates that happen in the upcoming primaries will be not just a way we figure out where we want to go, but the debate itself will be instructive to people watching it about what the Democratic Party stands for. How do we figure out what we stand for? We know Democrats are against Trump, but.

[Kellyanne Conway]

What are they for?

[Greg Gutfeld]

What are they for? People said that about Hillary, they said it about Kamala. They say about all kinds of Democrats. Well, if you give a bunch of policy addresses and then a reporter asks you while you're passing him on your way out, what do you think about Donald Trump? That's the news. The news is about Trump. And so Trump sucks up a lot of oxygen. That's difficult to contend with.

[Dana Perino]

So a party with no clear identity. And it shows. The New York Times found that Democrats have lost 2 million registered voters since 2020, while Republicans gained 2.4 million. They are also bleeding cash. The Democrats are. By the end of June, the RNC had $80 million on hand. Compare that to $15 million for the DNC. Vice President J.D. vance had some advice for the opposition during a sit down with Laura Ingram that airs tonight at 7.

[Jesse Waters]

You've got to be yourself. You've actually got to talk to people honestly about the issues.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I don't think it's that complicated.

[Jesse Waters]

Don't be a crazy person.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Be authentic.

[Jesse Waters]

If the Democrats did that, they'd do a hell of a lot better.

[Dana Perino]

Years ago, Ed Gillespie taught me to pay attention to voter registration numbers. And when I read that New York Times piece today, I couldn' believe it. Kellyanne, they're bleeding everywhere across the board.

[Kellyanne Conway]

Yes. In the 30 states that track voter registration, Dana, the Democrats have lost in all 30. That's pretty remarkable. It's not a red state, it's not a purple state. It's everywhere. And the adjunct to that is we have more and more Americans choosing to register Republican. That's different than Democrats losing to say, so called unaffiliated or independent. If you say I'm a Republican, you're taking that red hat off the hook. You're putting your vote in the water. You're very proud. I see Trump 2028 signs everywhere. And Vice President Vance is absolutely right. You have to be your but the Democrats are being themselves. That's how they got here. They are absolutely being themselves. And they have screwed it up on the issues over time. It's showing in the registration numbers. Look, I think that the modern Democratic Party is collapsing. It's hemorrhaging voters, but it's also broke. It's bereft of ideas. It's not fun. I think the guy with the joy on the job is Donald Trump. You know, dean of for every other issue set going back and forth between the two parties in terms of who has an advantage. The one the Democrats are owned for a very long time, sort of the culture and technology and the cool. This is the guy with swagger. He's right there. He's having a blast. He's now doing in the Rose Garden what he does in Mar a Lago. Any of us who have dinner with him witness that he plays the music. He plays it loudly. People love it. And who's going to complain? His neighbors are Scott Best in a treasury. The neighbors aren't going to complain about the music coming out of the house. What he's done in the Rose Garden is the ultimate get off my lawn to the left. And I feel for the Democratic Party until they actually get their own outsider. And look at Gavin Newsom. He tried to do this. Was it a radio show or podcast? Whatever he tried to do, now he's busy trolling on social media and it's cringe, it's falling flat. I'm sure they'll come after me now. Who cares? Because there's. Donald Trump is one of one only he can do what he's done with social media, with podcasts in the way he's done it. 900 rallies and counting. The thing that he does we all miss and don't talk enough about is he just works harder than everyone else. Well, the joy on the job is the key. The Democrats are race baiting. They're bitter, they're angry. And now they've got this internecine warfare where they're fighting with each other.

[Dana Perino]

If he comes after you, maybe he'll go after Joe Scarborough too, because he said the same thing. The joyous. You can work hard and still be joyous in your job. You show it every day.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Greg, that is so true, Dana. I'm glad you finally acknowledged it. And we get past that bitterness that we've had for many years. It is amazing when you think about it, that you can lose your identity after spending decades on identity. The one thing, the one thing that you made the priority and after it's all said and done, you don't have one. It tells you. And I said it before. Identity policies were always a sham and were meant to actually SAP you of your real individuality for labels that you take to put yourself in manageable boxes so people like Obama's insiders could understand you. You tell me you're lgbtq. Lmnop. You tell me nothing about you. The Dems party is a collection of zeros now because they didn't create their own individual identity. They didn't create their own ideas. You painted this house with a coat of identity. And Trump came and his rain washed it all away, and now we see what it is. There's nothing there. You know, Carville did say, you know, it would be really good to get an outsider, but what is a nominee without popular sentiment, ideas, or policies? It's just a shell I. It did work with, you know, you took a feeble, incoherent jackass like Joe Biden and you poured all this progressivism down his throat and told everybody he was a moderate. But like the Doobie Brothers said, we won't get fooled again.

[Kellyanne Conway]

So it was a who.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I know. The Dems. The Dems. You can't be fun when everything fun became evil. You know, who wants to be around someone who takes every joke literally and claims it's worse than violence? You canceled fun on behalf of the activist class. The old Ben Shapiro line. You know, it's facts, not feelings. It's now fun, not feelings. But the Dems became the party of victims, and victims never succeed because they blame their failures on other people. And you can't actually learn from a failure and succeed if you don't own your own failures.

[Dana Perino]

You brought up James Carville. Let's listen to a little bit of that. He was on with Jesse last night.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I don't think the party's in danger of collapsing.

[Jesse Waters]

Did the Democrats. James, do the Democrats need a daddy?

[Greg Gutfeld]

We need a presidential nominee. You're exactly right.

[Jesse Waters]

We will not have a unified message.

[Greg Gutfeld]

In our party until the 2028 election.

[Jesse Waters]

We have tons of really strong candidates.

[Greg Gutfeld]

And I think we're going to be fine.

[Jesse Waters]

I think we're going to romp and Stomp in 2026.

[Dana Perino]

Do you think you believe that data?

[Jesse Waters]

They ran two moms and a grandpa, and they need to run a daddy. The problem is there's no dads in the party. And what, Jessica? In order to have masculine policies, you need to live your life as a man. You need to live a life of action and you have to live it outdoors. And the first step is having your own compound. Every presidential candidate or president needs their home base, right? Trump had Trump Tower. He's got his golf courses, he's got the White House. Now you call people in, you hold court, you control everything. That's what they need now. I don't know why they don't have that. Maybe they're ashamed of it. Gavin Newsom has a vineyard. Why doesn't he bring in the press to his vineyard and look beautiful outside with all the grapes? That's how you do it. Americans love to drink wine. Newsflash, Newsom. Go to the vineyard, hold a press conference and act like you're a man of the people. Don't be ashamed of it. Trump does press conferences in front of billion dollar buildings with his name on it. Kenny Bunkport, does that ring a bell? How about the Bush ranch? How about the Reagan Ranch? You do that, you show the American people you know how to work, and then you show them you're a man of leisure. Because if I see another press conference with the mariachi band in front of a capitol with a stupid microphone and paid shills that hold signs that they didn't write, I'm going to shoot myself in the head. Democrats have to go out there and seize power the way Trump did, take it back and then give it to the people, Say, I'm going to give you a real civilization where you're going to have a house, a family and security. That's all people care about. And if you can't do that, then you're worthless.

[Dana Perino]

Wow. Jesse just gave them free advice, Jessica.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Some of it we are definitely not going to take. Actually, the vast majority of it. I love the idea of the quote unquote, outdoor Life. And then Donald Trump, who has a golden toilet, that's definitely what I associate with the outdoor life around.

[Jesse Waters]

Outdoors is nice, Jessica. You should try it sometime.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Well, I have to work more than Donald Trump, so I can't get out onto the links.

[Jesse Waters]

No one you want to live your club for?

[Jessica Tarlov]

Is that a weird Jew thing?

[Jesse Waters]

There's clubs for Jews, too.

[Dana Perino]

Oh, okay.

[Jessica Tarlov]

You're saying that you don't know where our daddies are and you should invite Governor Josh Shapiro on your show and talk to him about what being a daddy means. Invite. Why? He's not afraid.

[Jesse Waters]

All these Democrats are afraid to come on the show.

[Greg Gutfeld]

They're all of them.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Maybe because you're going to say something weird about membership to clubs. Anyway, Greg said many things. One that stuck out. It's fun, not feelings. And what's really not fun is what's going on with the American public today or what they're feeling about the economy.

[Jesse Waters]

Is another poll.

[Jessica Tarlov]

No, it's not, actually. Headlines.

[Jesse Waters]

My God.

[Greg Gutfeld]

In the wake of Trump tariffs, John Deere announces mass layoffs. PepsiCo will increase carbonated soft drink concentrate prices by 10%. Sony is raising PS5 prices in the US by $50 across all all models. And electric bills are up 10%. So year the election, you can say it was about whatever you want, is about cost of living. That's what it came down to. People said inflation hadn't come down enough. Joe Biden doesn't feel my pain. I want to hear about Biden nomics. What's the Donald Trump has come.

[Kellyanne Conway]

What was the nominee, by the way?

[Jessica Tarlov]

But it was, I'm well aware of the. But it was about the Biden administration.

[Dana Perino]

What I was worried you're going to say that Diet Coke was going up in price and then.

[Jessica Tarlov]

No, just better call me and. Well, Coke actually did say that they were going to be raising prices.

[Dana Perino]

Oh, my gosh. I have to drink water.

[Greg Gutfeld]

It's that Coke, Dana. So don't worry.

[Dana Perino]

Oh, okay. Up next, the left can't give up their obsession over race. Joy Reid makes some shocking comments about mediocre white men.

[Jessica Tarlov]

You ready?

[Kellyanne Conway]

The left's obsession with race is truly deranged. Joy Reid lost her job at MSNBC after spewing unhinged, racially divisive rants. And now she's doubling down.

[Jessica Tarlov]

They can't originally invent anything more than.

[Greg Gutfeld]

They ever were able to invent good music. We black folk gave y' all country, country music, hip hop, R and B, jazz, rock and roll.

[Jessica Tarlov]

They couldn't even invent that.

[Greg Gutfeld]

But they have to call a white man the king because they couldn't make rock and roll. So they have to stamp the king on a man whose main song was stolen from an overweight black woman.

[Kellyanne Conway]

And not to be outdone, Texas congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is accusing President Trump of wanting to steal the voices of minority voters.

[Jessica Tarlov]

This little scheme that they tried to.

[Dana Perino]

Pull where they were just going to steal and diminish the voices of black and brown people. I want us to be so loud. I Need y' all to stay in this fight because literally, the war is just starting.

[Kellyanne Conway]

Jesse, I know you're not a spokesman for, quote, mediocre white men.

[Dana Perino]

You should be poster child.

[Jesse Waters]

Well, listen, blacks did invent a lot of great things. Rock and roll, R and B, soul. And we're very grateful for that. And I mean, we, as in the black people.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yes.

[Jesse Waters]

It's in our bones. We have soul, rhythm and blues. Right, Harold? Oh, I'm sorry, Jessica. Today we don't need to make a list of all the great things white's invented. It's not a competition. Literally, it's not a competition. Just a few things come to mind. Cars, telephones, air conditioning. But we don't have all day. What happens when you get 86 from the Legacy media is that you have to survive in the wilderness without a platform. So you have to drop bombs for money and attention. So she's like a B2 bomber and just drops race bomb after race bomb for clicks. And that's her business model, hating whites. Now, my question is, did she hate whites the whole time in msnbc?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yes.

[Jesse Waters]

Did MSNBC try to keep her in check? Let's not hate whites too much, Joy. Or did they finally say when they spun the show off, let's get her out of here because she hates whites too much? I don't know, but she's going to be on Jesse Waters primetime tonight, and I'm just going to ask her.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Really?

[Jessica Tarlov]

No, no, no.

[Kellyanne Conway]

Jessica. I think we're seeing why, in part, the Democratic Party is losing customers and Trump and the Republicans are gaining them. Are you comfortable with this constant race baiting?

[Jessica Tarlov]

Listen, Joy, Reid is not a spokeswoman for the party. I think that, you know, in the autopsy that has been written thus far since Kamala Harris's loss on November 5, 2024, that we've talked a lot about identity politics. And basically anyone who has a shot in 2020 is going to change the way that they speak to specific groups, and it's going to be far less of an impact on the way that we message and develop policy. I believe in that conversation that she was talking about the impact of those black creators. And I think that's a perfectly reasonable conversation to be having. But I don't like the talk about mediocre white man, white men, and I think Jasmine Crockett had used that term as well, or mediocre white boys or something, which. And when she did a cable hit a couple months ago. What I do think, though, is a problem is this new move that Trump wants to become the curator of the Smithsonian and that he's posted that, you know, this relentless focus on how bad slavery was that they have taken up, like that is not a winning argument. And you saw when this happened with Florida with the proposed curriculum, where they said, well, let's just talk about how slavery actually benefited black people a bit. Like they got these useful skills. And even Byron Donald went on TV and was like, no, we don't need to be doing that. I understand Donald Trump won. I understand he picked up a lot more minority voters than any Republican had before. But we didn't hire him to be the curator of the Smithsonian. There are people far more qualified to tell that story. And guess what? I think it's fair. You know, when I've mentioned this before in front of an audience that didn't necessarily agree with me, like, it should be okay to say Robert E. Lee is a traitor and we should get his statue down and it should be okay to just talk about this slavery as one of the worst things in certainly American history and world history.

[Kellyanne Conway]

Dana, we didn't elect President Trump to be curated Smithsonian. He doesn't want to do that. What he wants to do, what he wants to do with art museums that are taxpayer funded is make them educational, informative and not rewrite history. And he wants to do with them what he's done with the universities, what they're doing with every agency and department, which is how are we spending taxpayer money? What are we saying? Is it all politicized?

[Dana Perino]

I absolutely believe, I think that the African American history museum in D.C. does a pretty good job, right? They, they walk you through the whole timeline of like the horrificness of slavery. And you walk through that as you get past the Civil War, past Jim Crow, and then you start to see all of these other opportunities and even the museum itself becomes lighter and brighter along the way. Then I think that they do a really good job. But Bethany Mandel had another piece, and this doesn't have to do with slavery or anything, but it has to do with the Smithsonian. She talked about taking her kids to the dinosaur museum. What's that one called? You know that History, Natural history. And every, everywhere you look, you have to learn about climate change. And it's just, it's like, okay, we get it enough. But then everything continues to change. And so I think that focus makes a little bit more sense to me than the others.

[Kellyanne Conway]

Craig, I think you started out by saying if, if you lose, you know, your job at legacy media, she's being paid $3 million a year and lost half of her viewers after Trump was elected. So isn't the message there, too, that this just doesn't sell?

[Greg Gutfeld]

First of all, I want reparations for her stupidity. This is not new. She was doing this on MSNBC all the time. They were okay with it. You reverse her race. She's David Duke cubed. But I have to applaud her. She said whites never invented anything. It's her first admission ever that we didn't come up with a slavery. So who did? If it wasn't whites, Non whites. It's going to make it hard for your next screed on reparations. Guess we're all guilty in that case. So maybe we'll just split it and figure out where the money has to go. But, you know, the thing is, there's something going on with. With Joy Reid and with other of these, let's say, the woman that wrote for the New Yorker. I can't think of her name, who's been under fire. Who cares? Joy talks about this stuff because she thinks about these things because she desires them. And she's ashamed of it. She is ashamed that she's not street enough. She's a blackademic, a person who gets love by earnest, terrified, white, credentialed academics. And it causes her insecurity and pain and she has to express this bile as a cover. She likes white things and she hates herself for it. It's like, again, the New York writer said she would hate having a child with a white man. Why is she thinking about that? Because she feels kind of white about it.

[Kellyanne Conway]

Next, a blue state prosecutor gets arrested and has a complete and utter meltdown.

[Dana Perino]

Buddy, you're gonna regret this. Yeah, you're gonna regret it. How many?

[Jessica Tarlov]

I'm Janice Dean. Join me every Sunday as I focus on stories of hope and people who are truly rays of sunshine in their community and across the world.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Don'T you know who I am? A police officer arresting a Rhode island state prosecutor and her friend on trespassing charges, and things got wild. If I ask you to turn off.

[Dana Perino]

The body cam, you have to turn it off.

[Jessica Tarlov]

And that's your protocol. She's a lawyer, so she knows.

[Kellyanne Conway]

Well, that's lawyer stuff.

[Jesse Waters]

So that's not true. So we gotta go.

[Jessica Tarlov]

No, it is. That's.

[Dana Perino]

That's law. I'm an aging. I'm an aging.

[Kellyanne Conway]

Good for you. I don't give a.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Let's go, buddy.

[Jessica Tarlov]

You're gonna regret this.

[Dana Perino]

Yeah, you're gonna regret it. How many?

[Jessica Tarlov]

Take your hands off me.

[Dana Perino]

We will get hands off Dan. Dad. No. Who the are you? This is so good.

[Greg Gutfeld]

You're.

[Dana Perino]

You're overreacting.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Special Assistant Attorney General Devin Hogan Flanagan and her friend Veronica Hannon were charged with willful trespass. Hannon was also slapped with a disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Rhode Island's Attorney General says there will be consequences for Hogan Flanagan. And talk about awkward. He said he made her watch her arrest video with him. The public humiliation. Dana, I.

[Dana Perino]

Well, if there's anything we've learned about the era of videos is never try to tell people. Do you not know who I am? Because it's always going to make it. It's going to make it worse for you. It will always make it worse for you. Kate is from Rhode Island. This is her favorite video in a long time. She said that the Newport police do not mess around.

[Jessica Tarlov]

It seems that way for sure, Kellyanne. I mean, thankfully it wasn't violent, but I was. When I read that she could have just left and everything would have been fine, I was like, why wouldn't you just leave?

[Kellyanne Conway]

Oh, drunk.

[Jessica Tarlov]

I guess part of the.

[Kellyanne Conway]

Yeah, they're pretty drunk and arrogant at that. And look, I think this is a culture that's being developed now. Resist arrest, spit at police officers, be mean to them, don't respect authority. And in this case, it just reminds me of the mayor and the brand new congresswoman a couple months ago in New Jersey just resisting and getting arrested at that protest. And then Alex Padilla, the fairly new senator from California, protesting at a Christine Ome thing, getting arrested. They want to get arrested. They want to. In this case, she didn't want to get arrested, but she wanted to do the same thing they're doing, which is to use her power and her position to show that she's not one of the little people. And I'm just glad with the way that law enforcement handled this. And I think it should be a deterrent to other people to not behave like this. And by the way, if you don't want this to happen, just say okay and just comply. And then you have rights. They're. They're going to have your right, they're going to read your rights, and this could have all gone away. I think she should be disciplined.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Jesse, do you tell Jesse Jr. Just comply?

[Jesse Waters]

No, I mean, I think the cops should be disciplined here. I mean, we're looking at a Dana Perino. Basically, we're looking at a Kellyanne. These are just drunk women getting Treated like they were George. Floyd, come on. Rhode Island Police Department. Just move them out of the way. They're going to mouth off. This guy's all of a sudden escalating the situation, cursing at these poor women. My goodness, talk about police brutality. The other thing is, if you were the guy in this situation out with these women in the bar, you gotta just get these girls out of there. You don't just sit there and watch the mouth off the cop. So it's just as much his fault as it is the cops fault. You can't blame these girls. They've had too much tequila. Obviously that's gonna happen. You put a liberal woman in a room with a lot of tequila and she's a lawyer. My God, what did you expect?

[Jessica Tarlov]

That's why we need more daddies, right, Greg?

[Greg Gutfeld]

You know, we wouldn't have known about this if it wasn't for body cams. And they have been a godsend to the police because now we see every day what they have to deal with. It's stuff no social worker could ever handle. And when he slams a door on her, it's just beautiful. I love how she says she's an ag, like she's in a sorority. You know, I'm a dg. I'm a dg. I'm a Theta. I'm an ag. Shut up. Both sexes can act horribly when they're drunk. Guys get stupid and violent. Women get drunk and loud. But in every case, it's usually the guy who pays the price for his. For the woman doing something. And Tyrus makes a really good point on this. Her husband let this happen. Perhaps so she would finally pay the price for her behavior. Because if she treats the cops like that, imagine how she treats him. So he kind of basically said, you're gonna hit rock bottom. She said, I mean, she's not gonna. She probably will never drink again because she's got an issue.

[Jesse Waters]

Babe, I've been telling you babe yeah, I've been telling you yeah. Now look what you did.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Exactly.

London is trying to remove their infamous Wet Wipe Island, a 400,000 pound turdberg that's clogged up the River Thames near the Hammersmith bridge. Jesse, the 400,000 pound Turnburg. What they're calling a Bay har is caused by people flushing wet wipes down the toilet. You were saying in the break that it's probably illegal aliens doing that because they can't read the instructions.

[Jesse Waters]

That's literally what you said in the break.

[Kellyanne Conway]

Oh, man.

[Jesse Waters]

I don't use wet wipes, so I don't flush them down the toilet. But are you supposed to flush them somewhere else?

[Greg Gutfeld]

No, you're not supposed to flush them at all.

[Jesse Waters]

Throw them in a garbage.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I fold them and wash them by hand.

[Jesse Waters]

That's disgusting. That's for the illegal aliens.

[Greg Gutfeld]

You know what? They're doing jobs that are beneath us. Dana, you love wet wipes for the dog.

[Dana Perino]

I don't have children.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I wipe Gus's butt every morning after he poops.

[Jesse Waters]

You do?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yes, I do. I put that in the trash can. Dog poop is different.

[Jesse Waters]

You do not do that.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yes. I swear to God, I wiped his ass and his paws. I also take up my shit shoes in my apartment. Unlike you.

[Jesse Waters]

Were you Indian? No one does that.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Everybody does that.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Everybody does.

[Jesse Waters]

No one does that.

[Jessica Tarlov]

[Greg Gutfeld]

No, you have to or you will never be in my house.

[Jesse Waters]

Oh, yeah, take your Gucci logo off, Jesse. Excuse.

[Greg Gutfeld]

How old are these people? They're in their 90s. They can't take their shoes off.

[Jesse Waters]

I have old friends, Greg.

[Dana Perino]

Oh, my God.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Kelly and I like how they compare this to double decker buses 15. Couldn't they just say one Big Ben?

[Kellyanne Conway]

They could. Do you know, this has its own moment on Google Maps. Apparently you can Google map Wet White Island. Wet White. I don't know. I think it's a great example too of the labeling stinks. Because some of these do say they're flushable. People. People believe that there's lots of stuff you shouldn't flush down the toilet. Pharmaceuticals is the other one. Because they found that in. In some waterways, oysters were filled with opioids. For example, when the cops come kicking.

[Jesse Waters]

In your door, where are you gonna put the meth? Kellyanne? Yeah, we can throw it out the window.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Terrible. I once saw a turtle with a four hour erection. So, Jessica, they're calling it Wet Wipe Island. When Bill Clinton heard that, he actually booked a flight.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Just go to brave. I surrender my time.

[Greg Gutfeld]
