[Jesse Watters]

Hello, everybody. I'm Jesse Waters along with Emily Campagno, Jessica Tarlov, Dana Perino, and Greg Gutfeld. It's five o' clock in New York City, and this is the five. The reviews are in. And America loves ICE agents at the airport. They're a welcome sight as travelers get screwed by long lines. Thanks to the Democrats shutting down, DHS agents are handing out water and stepping in to help people get where they need to go. Take a listen to these travelers. They've got a job to do just like everybody else and thank goodness for them.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I don't see how extra security could be bad. You know, as long as they don't

[Emily Campagno]

bother anybody, I'm okay.

[Dana Perino]

What's your message to Congress that could put an end to all of this?

[Greg Gutfeld]

It would be ideal. This isn't working for us right now.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Fire them all.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Fireball politicians. Get yourself together and do the work of the people that we put you in office to do.

[Dana Perino]

People are really going to crash out

[Greg Gutfeld]

in my opinion, because this is really frustrating.

[Dana Perino]

I think Chuck Schumer should be ashamed of himself.

[Jesse Watters]

But you wouldn't know if you only listened to the left. Democrats are crashing out over ICE Airlines.

[Greg Gutfeld]

The president cannot pardon you. I'll say it again, the president cannot pardon you. And yes, I will put you in handcuffs and I will put you in a courtroom and if necessary, I will

[Jesse Watters]

put you in a jail cell.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I had Port Authority police coming up, airlines calling me up. Everybody can say just like, please get ICE the hell out of this airport. They're causing so much trouble. Their presence here is triggering stressful to already stressed out passengers. This is bone chilling. Steve Bannon is saying the quiet part out Loud calling, isis, deployment to airports, a test run for the midterms.

[Jesse Watters]

And even CNN's admitting that things are running smoother since I showed up.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I almost can't believe I'm able to say this. The times have dropped off tremendously this morning. They're patrolling the outside areas of the airport, keeping people safe, interacting with some of the people as they walk by.

[Jesse Watters]

So, Dana, Cory Booker says that his phones are burning up. People say they're very upset about these ice ages. Is he telling the truth?

[Dana Perino]

Maybe. I don't know what his calls are like. But I do think that ICE is having the best PR run of its possible entire existence right now. And this whole thing is blowing up in the Democrats faces. I think that President Trump has come kind of a decent amount of the way in the deal making. He has fired the former secretary of Department of Homeland Security. Has a new person confirmed already. Tom Homan is there. That's what they wanted in Minnesota. The headlines are not anything about Minnesota right now. When it comes to masks, for example, masks on agents when they're out in the field, the President doesn't want to give on that. And I understand that. But what Tom Holman has offered is if an ICE agent feels that they want to be masked while they are dealing with the bad hombres, but that's fine. But they would have a number on their badge so that they would be more easily identified if there comes, if you need to have an investigation, I think that's fairly reasonable. And I wonder about the things about Chuck Schumer not wanting a deal. A deal gets him in so much trouble with his base. Why are we in this situation in the first place? Go back to the first shutdown from about six months ago. That was when AOC was rumored to be about to primary him and he wants a fight. TSA has spent over 50% of the year in shutdown. If ICE can go there and even if they're handing out water, they are calming things down. I actually think that the Americans have been way too patient. Brooke Taylor has done an amazing job for us. She's in Houston. Interviewing these people who are pretty patient, they're not as mad as I think that they could be. The back and forth on the funding deal is wild. And I think that Democrats right now look incredibly weak and out of touch. They should just figure out a way to get this done. Because even though you'll say, well, the President doesn't want to do this or doesn't want to do that, he is not necessarily the problem he has come quite a ways down the field and they keep moving the goalposts.

[Jesse Watters]

You know, Dana makes a great point about the PR that ICE is getting. They should start handing out neck pillows. That is something that everybody needs on these floods.

[Dana Perino]

That's a good point.

[Emily Campagno]

That's a great point. I think when you talk about the patience that travelers have, it's like the. I believe it. Yes. And I don't know if it's patience, just the burden that the TSA agents themselves have to assume and the fact that Chuck Schumer has the nerve to stand up there and say, what's bone chilling? Is ice at the air? No, it's bone chilling is his Ichabod Crane hunched over while his. The employees of the federal government are currently selling their cars. They're taking out loans. They're borrowing money from family. They're going to food banks on their way to a job that doesn't pay them. We have a grandmother in Iowa who says she. Her Last paycheck was $13 from the government. She used to be homeless before she was hired. Built a life for herself. She supports four children, two grandchildren. And how do we thank her? How do we think that commitment of service, those decades long commitment to us. We thank her by having her sell her car so she can pay her mortgage. She says she calls nonprofits every day seeking help. Thus far, no.

[Jessica Tarlov]

So.

[Emily Campagno]

So you're telling me our employed TSA agents have to call nonprofits for help making their rent? And it's like the Afghan union president said, stop calling me and asking me about lines. Ask me about if somebody is going to eat today. And then you have the DA of Philly who has the nerve. It's sort of like watching a really unlikable villain in a movie who and mocks, you know, the superhero while he's in chains and telling him off. He has the nerve to stand in an airport addressing ICE agents directly and threatening them with arrestings. I'm gonna put you in prison if you pull this, you know, on this terrazzo tile. The nerve of that. While those then ICE agents who, by the way, it's a different jurisdiction and they have to sit there and take it because they are more honorable than he is, because they have greater character than he does. Because chances are, believe me, if it wasn't in front of the camera and if it wasn't on the terrazzo tile that he enjoyed, he probably would actually be saying thank you to those brave men and women that actually serve their country, unlike him.

[Jesse Watters]

Jessica, besides shutting the government down twice. What have the Democrats accomplished since Trump was sworn in?

[Jessica Tarlov]

Well, I mean, when you're in opposition, it's very hard to have an accomplishment like, obviously you couldn't get a piece of legislation through on your own. There have been, I guess, some bipartisan wins, but a big accomplishment is we're winning a ton of elections in the Trump era, and I plan on talking about that in every single block as we go through the day. Donald Trump's new legislative representative is a Democrat, and Mar A Lago now belongs to us. So that was a big win. Listening to this? No, It's a state legislative district.

[Jesse Watters]

Oh.

[Jessica Tarlov]

But Palm beach county is won by a John Manuel.

[Jesse Watters]

Okay, got it.

[Jessica Tarlov]

But nine point flip. It's the 30th since January 2025. Yeah. Listening to all of this. How dare you treat civil servants and people who work for the American government this way after what Elon Musk and the Doge boys did. And how many people were fired callously? Most of them had to beg for them to come back because they weren't paying any attention to who they were taking that chainsaw to. Is a little rich on the ICE front? No, not all of them. And either way, it doesn't matter if you get a buyout or not. They don't care about people that actually serve the government. They are callous about it, and now it's not working for them, so they're digging in. As for why ICE is welcomed by some of the people, certainly the ones that we saw getting interviewed, it's because ICE isn't doing immigration enforcement right now. The way they do immigration enforcement is a problem. The way they hand out water is just fine. Donald Trump is minus 13 on immigration, which was his number one issue, because of how ICE was doing their business. 60% disapproval, 65% say they've gone too far, and a record high 50% want to abolish ICE. So that's why this is all okay. I hope we can find a solution. It is still on the table that the Republicans can convince Donald Trump to take the funding of everything but ice, which again, has been proposed now eight times by the Senate Democrats and that discharge petition which you love. And we can all go about our business and then debate ICE on its own.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Greg? Yeah, they're always good at debating ice, usually in the streets, screaming at people. The government's role isn't to provide government jobs. You can take that any way you want from any side, but it's. We are not required to make sure everybody has a job because they had a job before. Doge is working for the American people, not for the government. Do not forget that. Do not know. Doge was working on behalf of the American people, not for the government. ICE is actually doing more for the people, the American people, than Cory Booker, Krasner, and Schumer combined. They never lift a finger unless it helps them. Their lives are based on political transactions. If they can't get something out of it, they're not gonna help you. This is why they constantly back the worst people. Okay, Think about how ICE was portrayed by the Democrats and the compliant media, and you're surprised to find out that they're wrong again on judgment of character. These are the people that sanctified George, everything from George Floyd to murdering illegal gang bangers while condemning beat cops trying to do their jobs and Border Patrol who have to clean up the catastrophes that these idiots created. The Loyola paper reporting on the murder of Sheridan Gorman actually apologized for calling the killer an illegal alien. That encapsulates all of this. Where the. Where these people have no role in judging character. If they say somebody's a jerk, that means they're probably a good person. Me. Right? So when you're a liberal and you might enjoy the restoration of order, let's say in an airport, just remind yourself that was what it was like when Republicans had a role in the cities. That's what you are missing in New York City, in Portland, in Chicago, Louisiana. Order. So this exposes. Just by having the ICE there, it exposes the deliberate ineptitude of the progressive rule. It's not that this is hard to do. It's that they won't do it. Because when you look at it, all of this stuff is really easy. Shutting down the border wasn't hard. You know, you sent Kamala to do root causes, and she couldn't do it. It's not that she couldn't do it. She. She wouldn't do it. Trump comes in and does everything, and it's really deeply. I think it's deeply unfair. But there's nothing we can do about it because we're patriotic Americans, Dana. At least I am. I don't know about you.

[Dana Perino]

I'm questionable.

[Greg Gutfeld]

As conservative, I still have to deal with the consequences of progressive urban policies. That means crime, decay, and fear. But the progressives get to reap the benefits of our policies when they break through, which means that an orderly system is developed at an airport that reduces delay and chaos. We don't just. We don't go and say, no. This is just for people who voted for Trump. This is for everybody. It's not transactional. And then you know that when liberals experience like a lower incidence of crime in their neighborhood and they go, wow, this is different. They know it, but they won't tell you because that's politically against them. They're in a world that rewards political power. So they can't be seen to be helping Republicans, even when Republicans. And that today, is your lecture. I'll be over there smoking.

[Jesse Watters]

Coming up next, President Trump giving the Ayatollah junior One last chance for peace before unleashing hell.

[Greg Gutfeld]

How can we help make stronger communities happen? Well, at JPMorgan Chase, we invest in what's working in businesses that create more jobs in hospitals delivering care where it's needed the most, in workers building new buildings, bridges and roads, connecting what we need to where we live.

[Emily Campagno]

Make the green grass grow all around, all around.

[Dana Perino]

Make the green grass grow all around.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Make momentum happen. Learn [e-mail] impact. Yeah, Happy birthday, Buzzo. Is it a deal or do we make him squeal? President Trump sending Iran a 15 point plan to end the war as he readies 2,000 troops to head to the Middle East. Iran is reportedly suspicious of 47's deal, but they have a counteroffer calling for war reparations and sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. Here's Carolyn.

[Dana Perino]

President Trump dud is not bluff and

[Emily Campagno]

he is prepared to unleash hell.

[Dana Perino]

Iran should not miscalculate again.

[Emily Campagno]

Their last miscalculation cost them their senior leadership, their Navy, their air force, and their air defense system. Any violence beyond this point will be because the Iranian regime refused to understand they have already been defeated and refused

[Dana Perino]

to come to a deal.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Meanwhile, turns out that Trump likes watching terrorists get blown to bits as much as we do. A new report claims the president gets a daily highlight reel of the military's biggest strikes in Iran, conveniently called Stuff Blowing Up. That is the best title for a Fox Nation show, right?

[Jessica Tarlov]

Stuff blowing up.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Stuff blowing up. And it's just nonstop things just blowing up, blowing up. Much like my career. Dana, when we first started this segment. Yeah, you know, so you have war reparations versus unleashing hell. That seems kind of like a push.

[Dana Perino]

Well, here's the thing. I don't know what's going on. And I think that's how the commander in chief wants it, to be honest. I think that objectively the military operations from our end are going very well. And I would recommend several pieces of reading for you. But Bret Stephens in the New York Times saying that future generations will look back on this and go, I cannot believe they were able to accomplish all of these things so militarily. Yes. And then you have this question on the diplomacy. One of the difficult things is who are we talking to? But I understand from the Iranian standpoint, do you want to raise your hand and say I'm the guy, risk one internal dissension against you or even possibly getting blown up yourself? So I don't know what is happening. I think the madman theory is actually working in President Trump favor right now. He calmed the markets on Monday. They've been fairly steady right now. But there is a clock when it comes to the Strait of Hormuz. And getting that open is of utmost.

[Greg Gutfeld]

It's funny how the planet just has one like it's the Strait of Hormuz. You think we think of a backup plan, Jesse. It's funny that he gets the dailies on the war. I can't figure out if he's like a movie director looking at the dailies of the shoot or he's in charge of controlled demolition for a contracting company.

[Jesse Watters]

It's war porn.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yeah.

[Jesse Watters]

Turns me on to the, the first peace talks. I think both sides are posturing. I wouldn't put any stock in either offer. These guys are too afraid to put their head above ground. They're not even talking to each other, let alone the United States. Everybody knows the Straits to play. The 82nd Airborne is almost there. The Marines and the Rangers and Delta should be there by Friday. And we've been softening up the coastline. We had 90 targets on CARG Island. I think everybody knows what's going to happen this weekend. I spoke to one of my best sources on Wall street and he said oil trader are seeing this now as ending in May. He says the international naval alliance should arrive by next week, maybe a week and a half. And he said the regime's just pretending to have leverage. They have absolutely no leverage. Despite what you hear in the press, this has been completely and overwhelmingly one sided. And this whole straight closure is Iran's last gasp. And he sees oil prices going down to 70 by the fall. Oil prices under Barack Obama closed under over $100 a barrel for around three and a half years under Joe Biden. Closed over 100 for five months in how many days? Closed over 100 under Donald Trump? Six. So everybody just needs to chill here. Okay. Great article that you mentioned, Dana. I brought it and highlighted it for Jessica. Operation Desert Storm, widely considered a lightning fast military success. I think 42 aircraft got shot down in this operation. Four zero by enemy fire. The land and air campaign lasted six weeks. Everybody remembers how fast that was. We're now in week three here, the invasion of Panama, 23 soldiers killed. Now we have 13American dead. We actually had more people died in training exercises last year in the army than have died in combat here. We went into recession during that Persian crisis. Now since Operation Midnight Fury, the Dow's up 9%. In the 2003 strike. There was a quick decapitation strike against Saddam. We missed him, actually. First 40 seconds of the war, 40 dead. So I would recommend everybody read the New York Times. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the writing's on the wall.

[Greg Gutfeld]

You know, Emily, it is funny, like I think that America is suffering from the fact that maybe we just killed so many of their leaders, they've run out of people to talk to. And Jesse makes a point like no one wants to speak up. It's kind of like outnumbered. No one wants to talk to each

[Emily Campagno]

other because I'm hogging all the oxygen. First of all, stuff getting blown up is totally my weapons of war show you guys on Fox Nation.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Oh, really?

[Emily Campagno]

Yes. Anyway, I agree. I mean, clearly there's not a lot of hands being raised in order to essentially like in the line to the execution guillotine. But I think what's interesting is as sort of the naysayers and as always, the libs talking about the gap of alignment here, I think it's narrower than people think and I think it's real, but it's not decisive. And from what I understand diplomacy at this level, it's not about aligning endpoints, it's about sort of rationing your concessions. And the most important line in that was about the cost of war. Essentially like whether each side, when they decide whether what is the point at which the cost becomes too high to bear. We can keep going all day and all night, right? That's our biggest leveraging tool, that our commander in chief is flexible and that we have the military all day, all night. We can keep this up. We will keep killing everyone if they keep threatening our U.S. interests and our soldiers. And I think the whole point about that 15 point plan is that it's deferring the hardest issues and it's creating political wins on both sides. This is not about obviously appeasing the Islamic Republic in any way, but it's about getting them if they want to save a little bit of face. While for us saying, yeah, we're getting everything that we need, everything that we want. You are checking all of those boxes. And if you want to say, sure, the United States answered some of our concessions, feel free, but we are, no matter what, protecting American interests. And I think we are well on our way to doing so. And as Caroline keeps saying, we're doing it expeditiously way sooner than anyone predicted and way sooner than the White House predicted.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I'd love for them to save face, but they'll just cover it. Jessica, what do you make of the. Do you have any. Are your sources telling you who's running Iran?

[Dana Perino]

No.

[Jessica Tarlov]

And my Wall street sources aren't saying the same thing that just Wall street sources are saying either. But I love that you read a newspaper

[Jesse Watters]

every day.

[Dana Perino]

I don't know if that's true.

[Jesse Watters]

Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, New York Post.

[Jessica Tarlov]

You still say this crap on TV after you've read all that?

[Jesse Watters]

I can't believe she just said that.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Okay,

[Dana Perino]

the.

[Jessica Tarlov]

The daily, you know, war snuff film briefing. There was more to that story than he likes to see what's getting blown up. There was concern that he was not taking in all of the dimensions of this war. And some of that you might think is unfair criticism. I know you like to put it on the libs and that it's just us and Orange man bad, and no matter what he was going to do, we were going to hate it. But the Roger Wicker and Mike Rogers, both Republicans, the chairs of the Homeland Security committees in the Senate and the House, just came out of their briefing and they said we need to know more about what's going on, what the options are and why they're being considered. The White House continues to not make a strong enough case to the people who they need to go out there and sell this thing to the American public and then to the American public themselves. And that's why support for this. And I should note again that this is the least popular military incursion, not excursion. An incursion in modern American history. So take that, Desert Storm. The approval for this incursion is down in cbs, Reuters and Quinnipiac. And Quinnipiac. Ha ha, ha. This is the thing. It's so funny. You try to.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I mean, but what are the polls going to? War isn't popular.

[Jessica Tarlov]

That's not true. War used to be popular.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Well, thank God we changed. Maybe we've changed.

[Jessica Tarlov]

All right. My newspaper joke was funny.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Oh, tell me the newspaper joke.

[Dana Perino]

I did it.

[Jessica Tarlov]

I made it out loud on the television.

[Jesse Watters]

It was good okay.

[Dana Perino]

All right.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Coming up, a saki bomb. The X Biden mouthpiece says Dem shouldn't run a corpse next time. How can we help make stronger communities happen? Well, at JPMorgan Chase, we invest in what's working because when businesses can grow, that growth means more jobs for more people and more goods that can go to more restaurants and main streets and schools in the communities we love.

[Emily Campagno]

Make the green grass grow all around

[Dana Perino]

all around make the green grass grow all around.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Make momentum happen. Learn [e-mail] impact.

[Emily Campagno]

Are you ready for some head exploding irony? Jen Psaki? Yes, that Jen Psaki, the one that spoke for a president who basically ghosted his press his four years in office. Well, she is now saying that the next Democratic president needs to be more available to the media. Watch.

[Greg Gutfeld]

There's something that's uncomfortable about it.

[Emily Campagno]

Even though I think Democrats who are running and the next Democratic president should do a lot more engaging with the press.

[Jesse Watters]

Right.

[Emily Campagno]

And I don't mean coming into the press briefing room and doing that they can, but like, I mean doing a range of other things. And it should be constant. It should be like daily or almost daily. It should be like daily or almost daily. Gee, it sure sounds like maybe the Dems should run this guy who is always available to the press.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Tell me, does Elvis get treated better than me?

[Jesse Watters]

With me, it's fake news.

[Greg Gutfeld]

With Elvis, it was a little fake news.

[Jesse Watters]

It was a nice place with the best satisfaction system.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I don't know who did.

[Jesse Watters]

Sounds like the finest opera hall in

[Greg Gutfeld]

anywhere in the world.

[Emily Campagno]

Newsmax.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Sir, you've deployed ice. You're not doing a very good job. I don't trust anybody. I don't trust you.

[Emily Campagno]

Complete wrench in the. And even when the President lets other people speak, he is still giving his thoughts on the situation.

[Jesse Watters]

And so we're keeping our hand on

[Greg Gutfeld]

that throttle as long as it's hard

[Jesse Watters]

as is necessary to ensure the interest

[Greg Gutfeld]

of the United States of America are achieved on that battlefield.

[Jessica Tarlov]

It's so good.

[Emily Campagno]

All right. As you can probably tell, we were already discussing it during those. So everyone get after it. Greg?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yes. Oh, okay. If they're saying that they need to be more accessible to the public, then that means they also have to be more transparent, more honest and real. Because if they're not, it's not just going to be more of you, it's going to be more of you full of crap. Which is great for us on the show to. To see people like Gavin Newsom make a fool out of themselves and it's nice that they actually learned something from Trump, but a little knowledge is deadly, especially when you still think chicks can have penises and guys can have periods. If you wanna keep talking about that and be more accessible about that, sure. But the thing is, Jen Psaki's a hypocrite here. Her boss was as vocal as the P in her last name. But let's say they mean it. Let's go. Let's say they mean it. What can they talk about? Okay, what can. What do you envision them talking about in 2027 besides Trump? Because, you know, that's going to be it. But I mean, what are they going to talk about when the border is sealed, crime is down, and it's going to be down. Men are no longer in women's spaces. I mean, what's your slogan going to be? Make America bad again. It's going to be a challenge to persuade Americans if you still believe common sense is evil because Trump was behind it, and what you really need is, like, more drag queen stor hour and sanctuary cities, what are you going to sell? It's not just about being more accessible. It's like living in the real world. And they won't do that.

[Emily Campagno]

All right, press secretary source. So tell us your senior.

[Dana Perino]

Well, I think that Jen Psaki took the press secretary job a little bit. Not under duress, but I feel like it wasn't like the thing she wanted to do. So she was an Obama person. She worked for Obama, then she was at the State Department for Obama. And then the Biden people and the Obama people, you know, they weren't the closest, but she was super competent. And they said, okay, please could you come do this job? So she did. And if you remember at the time, it was like, she's not gonna do it forever. And I do think that what she's telegraphing there, maybe she should do it more forthrightly at some point, if she chooses to or not. Whatever. She was dealing with a situation where they had a president who they did not see very often. Remember this is Covid times, they had him locked in the Oval Office with the mask on and there was like, hardly anybody got to see him. I even remember, like, a year later in 2022, going in for the morning anchor briefing before the State of the Union. We were still all separated by six feet and he was in a mask and he couldn't hear a thing. And there just wasn't the capability. I don't think Biden had the capability. I think that the senior staff knew that he wasn't able to. And if you look at the hearings that James Comer had in the depositions that came out, that they knew that President Biden wasn't able to do that.

[Greg Gutfeld]

She's not in the senior staff then at that time, right?

[Dana Perino]

She was, but she was the only one that was able to actually go out and do the briefing because Biden, they either didn't trust him to, or he didn't want to, or they were afraid of him being out in the public. On the Newsom side of things. It is true that he is more accessible to people, but he's talking mostly to the podcast world. Great. I love podcasts. I'm an enthusiast. But it will not help you. You will not get better at the job unless you start doing other types of interviews like the one he's about to do with Jesse.

[Emily Campagno]

And also, I think he misses the point when there's an opportunity for substance. So, for example, Nick Shirley in his state and pointing out the massive billion dollars of fraud. And then he just memes him and makes fun of his appearance because he wants to be at the cycle of the sound bites. He doesn't actually want to dig into the policy. And then with, I guess it's sort of like choose your, choose your, choose your prompt. And then the other thing would be, I think Jen Psaki, we're never going to get an admission of such like the hypocrisy will say unless someone presses her. Right. And she, you know, she's already a host, so we're not going to have that.

[Jesse Watters]

Well, Jen says the next Democrat president needs to talk. He also needs to be able to walk. The next Democrat president needs to be president. Biden wasn't president. He was a puppet. The next Democrat president needs to have confidence, intelligence. He needs to be able to square off against this, you know, ravenous gaggle of screaming reporters. I don't see Gavin Newsom, who doesn't understand basic economics, able to do that. I don't see Kamala Harris, who couldn't even understand why Trump would want Greenland to be able to do that. So you have the two highest polling Democrats, the two dumbest, and that's how the Democrats want it. There's a party's a machine. They want a puppet so they can control them. The other smart ones who can talk, Pete and Shapiro, are too short and boring. So they open their mouths.

[Greg Gutfeld]

No one cares.

[Jesse Watters]

You're not boring for the president. Doesn't matter who you are, Democrat or Republican, you have to have charisma, courage and new ideas.

[Dana Perino]

Just be normal.

[Jesse Watters]

Right. And none of the Democrats on this slate have any of that.

[Emily Campagno]

The Sound of Music confidence is now in my head. I have confidence. I would love for you to respond to Jesse's point, because I think that's fantastic.

[Jessica Tarlov]

You did.

[Emily Campagno]

I do. Because it seems like there's. There's hologram. There's hologram candidates right now at some junction, they fail utterly. Why are you guys laughing?

[Greg Gutfeld]

I don't know how.

[Dana Perino]

Like, I don't know.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Wildly successful Democratic candidates for president in a couple years and right now, just governors are holograms. Somehow you can say that there's an anti Semitism problem on the left. There is. There's certainly one on the right as well. And that might be an issue for Josh Shapiro, but degrading a guy like this is just embarrassing. Or an Andy Beshear or even Gavin Newsom. He said, understand basic economics. California is now the fourth biggest economy in the entire world.

[Jesse Watters]

Third biggest. If you knew what he was doing.

[Dana Perino]

Everyone's here has, like, a 65% approval rating in Kentucky.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Yeah. And they're having a big economic boom when a lot of states are going in the opposite direction. This is not just going to be a conversation about who the Democratic candidate is. The GOP has to pick someone who meets at least as much as they can. This standard that Donald Trump has set. And you look at J.D. vance, who I know might be, you know, wanting to spend more time with his fourth child and not running for president, or Marco Rubio or Ron DeSantis, who has had some of the most uncomfortable media moments that I've witnessed.

[Greg Gutfeld]

But those are all leaders you mentioned, real leaders.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Not like what you guys embarrass yourself by saying that versus Josh Shapiro. And Andy, you know, he doesn't have

[Greg Gutfeld]

a chance because your. He doesn't like the Jews.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Andy Beshear, not a Jew.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Mm. Is that what you call him? Privately?

[Dana Perino]

Would he choose Josh Shapiro as his vice president?

[Jesse Watters]

No.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Maybe. I think he would.

[Greg Gutfeld]

And he wouldn't choose a gay person either. And God forbid, a gay Jew.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Jessica, Just love him. Love you all. I love everybody. You're going to also have to figure out this problem on the right of who comes next, who can carry on the MAGA mantle, who can fill those shoes. And you look at who, at least at this point, might be atop of that list. And I don't think they have the same kind of media vibe that Donald Trump has.

[Dana Perino]

No wonder.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Yeah, well, thank God for that. But keep your own house in order. We're Fine.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Says a progressive. Always getting in our space.

[Jessica Tarlov]

I'm not. It's one of me and four of you. I'm barely here.

[Emily Campagno]

Aw, you are here. Full capacity, not a hologram. Okay, guys, coming up next, Vince Vaughn is crashing the liberal late night party.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Stay with us.

[Jesse Watters]

I just got up there and I

[Greg Gutfeld]

was just like, oh, my God, thank you, thank you. And then I heard, someone, anyone, please help. So he's like Superman being able to carry me off the mount.

[Dana Perino]

The award winning Tell Me what happened

[Emily Campagno]

podcast from OnStar is back. New emergencies, new heroes. Find out what happens in season six of Tell Me what Happened out now.

[Dana Perino]

Hollywood star Vince Vaughn is calling a rap on those liberal late night shows that Greg crushes every night. The actor is ripping those comics for pushing the same political agenda.

[Greg Gutfeld]

People want authenticity. Yeah. And I think that. I think that the talk shows to a large part, became really agenda based. Yeah. They were going to evangelical people to what they thought. It stopped being funny and it started feeling like I was in a class I didn't want to take.

[Dana Perino]

It's not a new take, but it's another take.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yeah. I mean, what he's talking about is the reason why my show is successful is that we're not them. If you got nothing but Mexican restaurants in a town, you open up an Italian one. You do really well. It's not racist. All right. But I think Vaughn is kind of like intimating about how his world. It's not the rest. It's like he's surrounded by publicists and agents who will not let him do my show. That's the bottom line. So he can complain about this, but he really can't. He doesn't have any options. So the problem isn't just that Kimmel show sucks and Colbert isn't funny. It's that the liberal entertainment mafia is still locked in with those shows. So you can actually make the call if you are a star. A star like Vince Vaughn still has people that tell him what to do. And if you ever went on Gutfeld, they would tell you you would be banished. So I'm okay with it. The reason why I'm saying that is because that I talk to people of that caliber every single day, privately, sometimes in hot tubs, generally. And you never show up.

[Jessica Tarlov]

With Larry Kudlow. With Larry Kudlow.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Larry Kudlow.

[Dana Perino]

Jessica, do you think this is a problem for Democrats worldview and their chances going forward, or is it just. Is the media so diffuse now?

[Jessica Tarlov]

I think it's very much diffuse. I also think that people, if they do Enjoy it. Have been able to separate it from real life a bit more than they used to. Like, I think that they can understand that politics is a different game than whatever it is that you might want to watch at, you know, 10 or 11 o' clock at night. So I don't think it's as big of a deal. But I think that it is a major point of frustration for people that we have to continue dealing with it. I think Vince Vaughn, I mean, he's a movie star, but a funny one. I don't know if he was ever a, like, proper comedian, but I'm sure it's very frustrating for people who work in that world where you are supposed to be able to say anything, to be offensive, to push boundaries and to not have to apologize for it. To see strictness on those kinds of environments.

[Dana Perino]

It is interesting, Jesse, how much the publicists are the gatekeepers from many stars and singers. Like, even in country music, they won't

[Greg Gutfeld]

let me do your show.

[Dana Perino]

That's actually the alarm clock that won't let you do it. But you know what I mean, there's like the. They're the gatekeepers to all this.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yeah.

[Jesse Watters]

I don't even have a publicist and I still don't do anything.

[Jessica Tarlov]

I think you have.

[Jesse Watters]

I'm keeping myself from doing every Fox pr, media relations.

[Dana Perino]

That's.

[Jesse Watters]

That's true. Who I love Greg's now, like crushing these late night shows so badly. I don't think it's like something you should be bragging about anymore. There's like, it's actually, it's kind of. It's getting a little, it's getting a little embarrassing. It's like me saying I'm crushing the WNBA games.

[Dana Perino]

Are you?

[Jesse Watters]

I'm losing to them during the playoffs. I used to watch Letterman and Leno and Conan and even Johnny Carson reruns. And I just remember there was so much attention to the skits and to the monologue and making it so crisp and the production and the music. And it's like you tune into these shows now and it's like you see Jake Tapper's a guest. Yeah, it's like Jake Tapper, why no one watches him on his own show. And like there's so many funny guests. Like Maniscalco is hilarious or I just think Maniscalco's really funny and he should have a show. They should give a show to him.

[Dana Perino]

Emily, you're funny.

[Emily Campagno]

My God, thank you for that. I think I'm a good laugher. Like I love to laugh, obviously. And I think you're hilarious. I shouldn't admit that on national tv, but I think, okay, he went on to say this. You're right, it's not new per se. But he went on to say, like, everyone just wants to laugh. So we talked about that. Stand up comedy has exploded because that same restrictions we've seen in Hollywood too. So he's saying like Hollywood's no longer funny and the late night shows, except for yours, are no longer funny. But where you can still be yourself is standup comedy. But at the same time, we've covered a ton of stories where comedians were canceled for making a joke about something. So I think he's hitting the nail on the head, but he's still constrained by that same.

[Jessica Tarlov]

But then they want him back like Shane Gillis is.

[Dana Perino]

Like if he comes on your show, better off. All right, the Festus is up next.

[Emily Campagno]

Chronic migraine 15 or more headache days a month. Month each lasting 4 hours or more can make me feel like a spectator in my own life. Botox Onobotulinum toxin a prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine. It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month. It's the number one prescribed branded chronic migraine preventive treatment.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away. Has difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weaknesses. Weakness can be signs of a life threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history. Muscle or nerve conditions including als, Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications including botulinum toxins as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. Why wait?

[Dana Perino]

Ask your doctor.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Okay, this is basically a couch in the sky. United Airlines is introducing the new Relax row seats for long haul flights, letting folks lie down flat and stretch their legs while in economy.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Greg all right, here's the deal. The airline is like a restaurant that's selling unused animal parts as specials. You know, they were just trying to figure out a way how to sell the middle seat. So you have three seats there. You have to buy all three of them before people Weren't buying the middle seat. This is just so they can sell the middle seat.

[Dana Perino]

Right. That's smart. The best thing about this is the footrest, because if your feet don't reach the ground, then you don't have to put them on your backpack.

[Jessica Tarlov]

How about that? No feet on the backpack. Jesse.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yep.

[Jesse Watters]

It's about sex, obviously. Once you lay down flat, anything could happen. Stranger, spouse, doesn't matter. You get drinks, you lay down flat. I'm just saying.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Wow.

[Emily Campagno]

As your attorney, I will say united. He was kidding. People like me and Dana have been doing this forever. Like, we just. If it's open, I lay down. We fit.

[Dana Perino]

Comfortable. I can lie down in one seat.

[Emily Campagno]

But I feel like if this means that the those things go back so it's not digging into our back when we're sleeping, that's the rest.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Goes all the way.

[Emily Campagno]

Yes.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Yeah. It is great. And for kids, because you have to, like, buy that extra thing to put under to get them, like, a little

[Greg Gutfeld]

bit, but you still have to pay for an extra seat.

[Dana Perino]

I understand.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Why are you bringing the economics into this?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Because.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Just.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Fine.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Because.

[Dana Perino]

Affordability.

[Jesse Watters]

Affordability.

[Jessica Tarlov]

One more thing's up next.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Join Fox in supporting our troops. From daily needs to global emergencies. Help us be there for those who serve. Visit Go Fox Redcross to donate to service to the armed forces today.

[Jesse Watters]

All right, before we get to one more thing, a huge, huge, huge programming note. President Trump will be joining us here tomorrow live on the Five. Watch the show. I know you will. All right, Dana, you're up.

[Dana Perino]

Well, this, you don't see this every day. The mayor in Madrid was giving a speech, and then something plopped on his head, and that would be a pigeon poop. And watch the woman behind him start laughing. I don't know if we know that. And then the lady behind him starts laughing. She's trying not to talk about it. So funny.

[Jesse Watters]

It's good luck. In Spain tonight, Jesse Wars Primetime, we have General Jack Keane and Napoleon Aluna, Gillian Anderson and KAT TIMF. Tonight, 8:00pm GG.

[Greg Gutfeld]

All right, tonight we've got. Oh, Cat Timp, Jamie Kennedy, Emily Campagno, Tyrus. Also, if you want to look at my tour dates, go to G gutfeld.com, i'll be in Duluth, Georgia, Huntsville, Alabama, Nampa, Idaho, and Independence, Missouri, all from April and May. I'll save my thing for tomorrow.

[Jesse Watters]

Right, Nampa. It's the Tampa of Idaho. Yeah, Jessica.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Okay. If there are any cat lovers out there, add this to your bucket list. More than 200 cats from across Europe were at the Sophisticat Feline Expo in Romania, drawing thousands to see those fancy felines compete for the Oscars of the cat world.

[Jesse Watters]
