Alexis McAdams
Hello everyone.
Dana Perino
I'm Dana Perino along with Paul Morrow, Jessica Tarlov, Jesse Waters and Greg Gutfeld. It's five o' clock in New York City and this is the five. And a FOX news alert. The FBI, FBI is giving an update at 6pm After a man armed with a rifle rammed his truck into the front doors of a Michigan synagogue. He was fatally shot by a security guard who was injured. Thankfully, no one else inside that synagogue was hurt. And we're getting brand new details on the vehicle that was used. So let's go to Alexis McAdams. She has the latest. Hi Alexis.
Alexis McAdams
Hi, Dana. Yeah, a crazy situation out there in Dearborn, Michigan that investigators say really could have been much worse as we're learning more about the man that they say was driving a truck with with a Michigan license plate, according to federal sources, right into a synagogue. So as you mentioned, through the front door, they went all the way in, drove down the hallway. And now investigators are telling us that the vehicle is registered to a U.S. a naturalized U.S. citizen from Lebanon who lives in Dearborn, Michigan. So investigators tell us he drove down the hallway and he was still going until an armed security guard stepped in. And this synagogue actually hired this armed security. We're working to find out if they were off duty police or if this was a private investigation unit that they had. But they wanted to have extra security because everything happening in the country, the suspect was taken out. The question is, was he taken out by the armed security guard or was there an explosive device inside? Because the sheriff, Dana, said earlier in a press conference that there was some type of explosion or fire inside of the truck. So we're waiting for the driver to be identified, but the sheriff says it could take some time.
Jesse Waters
Listen, he drove in through doors with a vehicle. Something ignited in the vehicle. That's a work in progress. We're through an abundant precaution clearing the vehicle for IEDs or any explosives.
Alexis McAdams
And police say the suspect crashed through the building and then drove again. As we mentioned, investigators say they actually heard those shots being fired. They were able to get everybody outside because there were school children in there. So we're working to get more on that. Investigators are also trying to clear the area, and they believe that there were explosive devices, according to one federal source, inside of the that truck. So the investigation continues as the President of the United States, Donald Trump, just spoke about this a short time ago.
Donald Trump
Listen, I want to send our love to the Michigan Jewish community and all of the people in Detroit, Detroit area following the attack on the Jewish synagogue early today. And I've been briefed, fully briefed, and it's a terrible thing, but it's, it goes on. We're going to be right down to the bottom of it. It's absolutely incredible that things like this happen.
Alexis McAdams
And a short time ago, the synagogue actually put out a statement saying that Temple Israel, which is one of the largest synagogues there, Dana, in Michigan, was the victim of a terrorist gunman who was confronted and neutralized by security personnel calling them heroes. Because as we've seen all across the country, these synagogues are trying to take a soft target like their church and make it a hard target and, you know, try to put more investigators there because they don't know what's going to happen next. Dana.
Dana Perino
Alexis, thank you so much. And we will keep a close eye on that story. And now to big developments in Iran. President Trump sounding pretty confident about Operation Epic Fury during a rally in Kentucky.
Donald Trump
The threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran with Operation Epic Fury. And they gave me, like, 20 names and I'm, like, falling asleep. I didn't like any of them. Then I see Epic Fury. I said, I like that name. Let me say we've won. You know, you never like to say too early, you won, we won. We won. The bet in the first hour. It was over. We got to finish it, right? We don't want to go back every two years. They are pretty much at the end of the line. Doesn't mean we're going to end it immediately. But, but they've got no navy, they've got no air force.
Dana Perino
And Iran's new supreme leader has allegedly released his first statement since taking power. He was not on camera, and he did not read it aloud, but he vowed to continue disrupting the Strait of Hormuz and striking US Bases in the region. Meanwhile, President Trump is tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, announcing he will release 172 million barrels. Some Democrats, though, have complaints about that.
Greg Gutfeld
Trump is calling for what I wanted
Paul Morrow
him to do three days ago but
Greg Gutfeld
only after needlessly sowing chaos and recklessness. There's a. He's created many more problems than the Strategic Petroleum Reserve will solve. You're not supposed to tap into your Strategic Petroleum Reserve to solve a problem that the President created himself. They decided not to move forward on
Jesse Waters
the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Now they are.
Paul Morrow
They're just literally making this up.
Jesse Waters
And that is what's so terrifying.
Dana Perino
Okay, Jesse, yesterday we said it would be interesting to see if the Ayatollah had some sort of proof of life. Did the statement scratch the itch?
Jesse Waters
No. It's kind of like Biden, who's really running the country over in Iran, nobody knows. We had Petraeus on the show last night. He said we're well on our way to accomplishing our objectives. We've beheaded the leadership and we've completely decimated their conventional military. And it's only been a week and a half. And this is going to be a four to six week operation. As the President said, phase two will probably be attacks on the defense industrial base. We're already starting to hit drone and missile manufacturing facilities. And then maybe week three, you'll probably see attacks on more leadership layers, army, militia, police and the irgc. But yes, there are challenges. The drones have been an issue, although the knockdown rate's been absolutely spectacular. We can always do better. And they have squirreled away some enriched uranium somewhere under a mountain. We might have to insert some operators to. To go clean that out. But Dana, the Strait is a huge test for the President's resolve. And there's only one way out of this, and it's through it. I mean, we demolished the Navy, but they have this Mosquito fleet, small, fast boats. These things can harass and clip tankers and cause huge problems in the energy market. And it's good thing that we have an admiral as leader of centcom because he knows the waterways better than anybody. So we're going to have to lay waste to these ports, to these mobile missile batteries, to all these drone hubs along the coastline. And that's not easy. That's going to take a couple weeks to do, but you have to do it. You can't let The Iranians control 20% of the world's oil flow. And a lot of that oil goes to Asia, almost all of it. It goes to our allies, South Korea, Japan, and our enemies, China. If there's any action in the Pacific War, Taiwan, anything. You got to control the Strait. This is a national security issue now. And if we don't, we lose. We lose Face, prestige, power. The president has to see this through. Now it's all about the strait. I have confidence he's going to be able to get it done.
Dana Perino
Paul, what can you tell us about Iran trying to activate sleeper cells or even this threat of possible drones off the coast of California?
Paul Morrow
So think of it in three buckets. How we always did doing kind of terrorism, right? You have somebody who's deployed from overseas into the country, an asset that is directed by either a foreign terrorist group or a foreign nation, okay, like Iran. Rare for Iran. They haven't traditionally in America had the ability to project that kind of power. They default to nonsensical things like using the cartels to try to get somebody in, etc. That is, I'm talking about somebody Iran sort of weaponizes and sends out from Iran. Doesn't mean they can't do it if they put the whole nation behind it. Argentina in the 1990s, two Jewish locations, the embassy, the Israeli embassy and a Jewish community center. Well into triple figures combined number of dead there. Hezbollah directed by Iran. Second bucket, real quick are sympathizers who will already hear that would be directed by the regime from overseas. That's going to be Hezbollah. That's why the border and how loose the border has been for the last four years is such a problem. Why they're not here as traditional sleeper cells. Iran doesn't have the economy, the tradecraft, etc. To send a whole bunch of people from Hezbollah and say sit in America until we activate you. That's not how it works. Hezbollah is a mafia. They, they make money, they're in all kinds of criminal schemes. They're very powerful in the tri border region, south of America here and in Venezuela until we took them out. So you have to worry about those guys because they're here making money. 50% of their money traditionally comes from Iran. They just lost that. I actually don't think Hezbollah is going to react because they're on the ropes. They're getting banged up in Lebanon, they've lost their proxy and their overhead in Iran. They're just gonna wanna survive as a moneymaking entity. Can I say that for sure? No, of course not. I'm not read into the intel anymore. But the last thing are sympathizers who radicalize. That doesn't mean they can't go overseas and get training, et cetera, et cetera. That's the thing I think we're starting to see develop. We're going to talk about it later in the show. We had this thing in Austin, we had these guys in the upper part of Manhattan. That's the toughest thing. Very hard to stop that kind of stuff. This thing at the synagogue, there's a
Dana Perino
fourth bucket we don't have time to talk about, but the cybersecurity issue as well, and those attacks.
Paul Morrow
Rand's good at that as well, but we're pretty good defensively in that area as well.
Dana Perino
Okay, Jessica, your thoughts today?
Jessica Tarlov
Well, I guess Jesse took our conversation and a break yesterday seriously when I said, why don't we try to be more reasonable tomorrow, both of us, and see how we get along? And you did great. So now I'm going to try to do great.
Pcmatic Advertiser
Wow.
Dana Perino
Okay.
Jessica Tarlov
What do you think?
Jesse Waters
I feel uncomfortable with that compliment, but go ahead.
Dana Perino
It's going to go bad now, the break. Jesse wants a redo.
Jessica Tarlov
No, it's quite obvious based upon what happened last night, and you even previewed on the show, you said the Strait of Hormuz is going to be lit up last night, and it was. And one of those tankers was based in New Jersey. And there are. Our Gulf allies, obviously, are screaming from the rooftops, we weren't prepared for this. We need more help. India is making their own deal with the Iranians to make sure that they can get their oil out. China continues to get what they need. And we're left thinking, how are we supposed to address this without putting boots on the ground? And from what I've read, all of these military analysts are saying that we're going to have to send people onto the coastline to be able to secure it. And that is the line in the sand for the American people. When you look at the polling, it has definitely shifted towards more support for the Iranian strikes. I mean, MAGA is sold. The days of there's friction over this, that's over. So now it's 85, 90% support. But when you ask Republicans even about putting American boots on the ground in the Middle east, again, they're not for it. Democrats, obviously, even much less, and independents. And if that's where we're headed, that's a very dangerous place for us to be, not only from a national security reason, but also a morale and President Trump's administration's perspective. I also think it's shortsighted to just be talking about this as an oil problem. This is a huge fertilizer problem. So 30% of the world's fertilizer comes through the Strait of Hormuz. Prices have already gone up 77%. There was an Iowa farmer who was being interviewed That I was watching, and he said, we are not. We're breaking beforehand.
Alexis McAdams
Right.
Jessica Tarlov
Farms are going bankrupt. We have been talking about, we got a bailout. We're going to need more. And now we have this. So these are people who were Trump supporters, a lot of them. He did very well in rural communities. Has to be exceptionally careful about it, but, you know, ever patriotic and optimistic. I hope that it goes well. But I did not like to see those tankers on fire last night or that the ayatollah, you know, maybe it's not him, I don't know, but this idea that we just beheaded the ayatollah and that's, you know, locked and loaded like a good thing. This next generation is much more of a hardliner, and he has a lot more years to live and a lot to avenge.
Dana Perino
Greg Gutfeld, you've got some notes, I
Greg Gutfeld
heard, but I heard that nu ayatollah was in a coma and lost a leg, or as Morning Joe says, sharp as a tack. It's crazy. I'm looking at the price of oil. It's like, by the barrel, it's going to hit $140. You're seeing a 42% increase in the price of oil. Fertilizer is jumping. Oh, I'm sorry. That was the beginning of the Ukraine, Russian war. I forgot. But that was the war everybody loved, right? All those people who put their flags on their bios, you know, those are the same people now wondering how long this war is going to last in eight days. The Ukraine war is now into its fifth year, but you've moved on. They haven't. You know, it's amazing how little they cared about the price of gas, the price of fertilizer, inflation, the strain on the military. And you get this. Iran had like 20, almost 30,000 people killed before this happened. People that were standing up to the regime. You know, it's. Maybe we should have. This might matter more. But it's interesting how the emotion has shifted. The Biden White House pulled us into a war that had far less strategic value and importance than Iran. You know, Russia didn't take the lives of Americans. They weren't taking them hostage. They didn't support proxies who did October 7th. And yet every celebrity, you know, Ben Stiller, Sean Pence, some guy named Mark Hamill, you know, they loved Ukraine. And if you didn't go along with it, if you questioned it, what were you called? A Putin lover. I believe me, I heard about it. Meanwhile, Trump's taken out the most misogynist theocracy around and where are the feminists? You know, finally, just as you know, I know you guys are being nice, but I don't have to be. Nothing Trump has done comes close to what the last administration did to our country. The Democrats installed a feeble puppet and they knew it and the world knew it. What did that do to us? We got two wars because of that. We had Russia and Ukraine and then we died of October 7 because they knew that we were handicapped, that we'd lost our will and our way. And within our borders it was even worse. We went through four years of a radical subversion of society through crime reform, trans illegal immigration that also handicapped our will. And the world saw that too. They saw us eating ourselves alive. That somehow we were beginning to believe that we were the bad guy. We saw an incredible nation transition into a self doubting basket case. That was in just four years when you had a missing president. So when people talk about a forever war now, we were on a forever road to war for 47 years. You know, every president, Biden included, kick the can down the road. Instead, Trump, he likes to have a clear desk at the end of every day. You tell him you know you can't do it, he's going to make sure he can.
Dana Perino
Okay, up next, the war of words is getting very ugly between President Trump and Gavin Newsom.

Paul Morrow
So the hair gel is coming off in the beef between President Trump and Gavin Newsom, with the President taking some brutal jabs at the governor during a rally in Kentucky. Watch this.
Donald Trump
We're talking about Gavin Newscomb. He admitted he has mental problems, that he's not a smart person. He's unable to read a speech he can't read. Nothing's wrong with it. But I don't want the President of the United States to have a cognitive deficiency. I think he just lost the Democrat nomination. What do I know? But you know what, I'm for everybody, but you know, when it comes to president, you gotta be sharp. You gotta be sharp as hell.
Paul Morrow
And he didn't stop there. The President took another shot at Newsom on Truth Social, saying in a post on top of being a cognitive mess that, quote, black people are angry because he is obviously a racist. Newsom firing back with a tweet of his own writing, quote, I spoke about my dyslexia. I know that's hard for a brain dead moron who bombs children and, and protects pedophiles to understand. So it's getting ugly. Newsom, of course, dines out on his hair. His mental acuity has been questioned. So maybe I'll come to you, Jesse.
Jesse Waters
I saw that coming. Even I saw that coming.
Paul Morrow
What do you think? Seriously, you know, is this sort of the kind of thing you want to see from guys running for president, that kind of statement?
Jesse Waters
Well, it's like when you want to get out ahead of something, you put it out there, you can kind of control it because it will leak that he had terrible grades and he was a horrible student. I just read his book. He was a horror. He had a real hard time with reading comprehension, with just basically reading. And he got terrible grades, but he overcame it. And that's kind of what's endearing about this book, is that the guy's lived a painful life, but he's a good storyteller because he's Irish and talks about how, you know, he gets out of college, he gets a little seed money from some family friends and has grown a nice little wine and restaurant Business and then gets tapped by Willie to be on the Board of Supervisors, then runs for it, gets elected, and rises up through the machine politics in California to become governor. But besides gay marriage, he mentions nothing he's done for the people. I mean, there is nothing that he has done for the people of California besides gay marriage. You'd think he would have put something in the book to make people's lives better. So this is like, you open this thing. Yeah, he's telegenic, he's personable. Fine, have it. But this guy is a big, bright, shining warning sign. He is going to blow it if you give him power.
Dana Perino
He.
Jesse Waters
He's not as dumb as Biden, but he's just as incompetent. That's my book review. You actually, you think you wrote was really well written.
Paul Morrow
So. No, that's a no. Jessica, is he a racist?
Alexis McAdams
No.
Jessica Tarlov
I mean, from. We're still talking about when he was doing his book tour session with the mayor of Atlanta, Andre Dickens, who's also spoken about this. He was talking about his dyslexia. The crowd wasn't black either. People in the room, people who live in Georgia have confirmed it was a majority white crowd. And he's not a racist. I don't think Donald Trump wants to be in a fight over who is more racist. I think all this stuff is beneath the office. And I get it, that people see an appeal in Donald Trump that I have yet to discover myself. But I don't like it. I don't like the name calling at this level. I know it's just holding a mirror up to him, but like knee pads, et cetera. What I think is important from the Kentucky rally, though, where Trump was dishing all that vitriol on Gavin Newsom. He was in a state that has a Democratic governor, Andy Beshear, who has the highest approval rating of any Democratic governor at 65%. Republicans love him. He's brought tons of investment into the state. He's worked with Donald Trump where he needs to. Like all of our iPhone screens are now produced in Kentucky. That was a deal that was brokered through the Trump administration. They opened this huge factory, etc. It's interesting to me that Trump is not picking on the guy it would make sense to pick on because he's at home in his state. But he's playing the TV wars with Gavin Newsom instead. And I expect Bashir will be running for president, too.
Paul Morrow
So one of the things Newsom's doing, obviously, is he's using the pulp that he has now Dana to start campaigning. Right. He's apparently going to spend $19 million to change the image of California. When I was a kid, everybody wanted to move to California. The TV shows were there.
Jesse Waters
Yeah.
Dana Perino
But also, like, if you. I was thinking the other day, all those great songs about California were written at a different time. You wouldn't write the California Dreamin Song now. Right. It's more like Nashville dreaming. That's what people are writing.
Paul Morrow
This is the California of the Doors. The end.
Dana Perino
Yeah. Back then they used to be. I think that what Gavin Newsom wants more than anything is for Donald Trump to keep talking about him. The worst thing for Gavin Newsom right now would be for Donald Trump to ignore him. Imagine being Pete Buttigieg and you're like, well, I wanna run for president too. What do I have to do in order to get a little bit of Trump love? Because every time Donald Trump talks about Gavin Newsom, it helps Gavin Newsom and he knows it.
Paul Morrow
Yeah, that's true. You have two sort of alpha males going at each other. Greg, take us home. What do you think?
Greg Gutfeld
Reminds me of me and you. You know, Trump was called a pedo protector by Gavin Newsom. I mean, talk about the black calling a pot a kettle. That was my dyslexic answer. Yes.
Dana Perino
All right.
Greg Gutfeld
Literally, literally. To quote Emily Compagno, Gavin Newsom protects pedophiles. Let's go to the Gregory Lee Vogel song, who kidnapped five children as young as three, molested them, sentenced to 355 years to life, 23 counts. He's going to be let out on March 18th in California because of a bill signed into law by Gavin. Then we talked about David Allen Funston, who was almost released on February 26. Sixteen counts of child rape. We brought it to the attention, right? Gavin Newsom didn't stop this from happening. That guy was going to be back on the street because of, what do you call it, elderly parole. You want to talk about protecting pedophiles. I think that pretty much is literally, again, the state of the standard definition. He also supports, you know, cities not handing over illegal child rapists to the feds for deportation, freeing them so they can attack again. I don't know what you want to call that. California also number one in homelessness, poverty and addiction, taxes, illiteracy. I bet that's killed a lot of kids. You could probably do the math. Unless you. Well took math in California where they rank at the bottom.
Paul Morrow
That was a very alpha male take, actually. Thank you. Coming up next, a deadly shooting at University in Virginia. And the suspect's connection to isis?
Jesse Waters
Yeah, that's going to hurt them.
Dana Perino
They're.

Greg Gutfeld
Remember this song? Will she spill the beans on Joe's brain freeze? Former first lady Joe Biden announcing she will publish a book this summer, setting the record straight on whether her husband was an invalid. It's titled View from the East A Memoir, and she even put out this promotional video. Run it.
Dana Perino
Parts of this story have been told, but not all of it. In View from the East Wing, I share the good moments that lifted me and the difficult ones that challenged me. I also reflect on how this chapter in our lives came to a close when Joe made the unprecedented decision not to seek reelection and pass the torch. Let's set the record straight.
Greg Gutfeld
Setting the record straight. Paul, something interesting about that book. What might it be?
Paul Morrow
The fact that on the COVID it doesn't say doctor, which we were vilified for not using her title, and we all know you're a misogynist, but she apparently is as well. She didn't. I'm very surprised. I expected the doctor there. Look, the question becomes, who's the book for? Right? Who is this here? First of all, you got to ask yourself, did the auto pen write it? Sorry. I wonder sincerely, like, what? What is the purpose of this book now? Because is she really in a position to set things straight? Now, interestingly, I'm going to cut against the grain here. I actually think that she is, because if you remember, there was a lot of stuff that came out where you saw her on Air Force One. She's sitting at a big desk, she's writing notes. She potentially was a lot more involved than we realize. And I'm wondering if she can resist that impulse to show her bona fides. I made these decisions, et cetera. Because, you know, she's choosing to write this book, and if it doesn't have some juicy stuff, it's not going to sell. It's going to be the literary equivalent of one of Hunter's paintings.
Jesse Waters
Yeah.
Paul Morrow
It's just on the name.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, I think she lost her medical license because of elder abuse, but I don't know. Jessica, do you think this will be juicy or will it be as dry as Joe's?
Paul Morrow
Stop.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes.
Paul Morrow
Stop the.
Jessica Tarlov
No, I don't think it's going to be as. I don't think it's going to meet the juice threshold that we need it to. To make it relevant to the future of the Democratic Party conversations. So, you know, everyone was still interested in 107 days. Kamala's book, it came out really fast. First of all, while we were all kind of still taking in the results and thinking about the autopsies, et cetera, of what was going to happen. This is like a bit in no man's land, except that we're heading into a midterm and no one wants to be looking backward for this midterm like it looks to be that we should do pretty well. Knock on wood. Would never say blue wave. Don't want to be like Jesse with egg on my face. But no one wants to be asked about this right now.
Jesse Waters
Did you just say something about me?
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah. You weren't listening, though.
Jessica Tarlov
Your name was invoked.
Greg Gutfeld
You just heard Jesse. You know Jesse. Jessica did bring up Kamala. Could this book be about more about Kamala? She hated Kamala.
Jesse Waters
Yeah, I'm not gonna read it. If she doesn't trash Kamala Harris and trash Hunter and just trash.
Jessica Tarlov
She's not gonna trash her son.
Jesse Waters
She hates her son. Remember the C word? Stepson.
Jessica Tarlov
Remember what Hunter called her when he was 2?
Jesse Waters
Okay, whatever. Jessica, let me talk now. Stop interrupting me. Actually got an excerpt. You know what she says?
Greg Gutfeld
What?
Jesse Waters
It was actually my cocaine.
Greg Gutfeld
It's gonna be good. Dana, what do you. You must have some insight, some wisdom.
Dana Perino
Well, here's a couple things. The Democrats, there's no rest for the weary. Yeah, they can't catch a break. We just had to spend six months talking about 107 day campaign of Kamala Harris. Now we're going to have to do this. Which me? I mean, the Democrats are going to have to contend with this hardest hit Gavin Newsom. He has a book coming out where he wants to talk about himself when everybody is going to be talking about Jill Biden and Joe Biden. The decision that she allowed him to go ahead and say that they were going to run again. They were telling the country that he was capable of serving for the next four years. They were taking hard earned money from their donors and saying, yes, everything's fine. And now she's going to come out with a book. She's like, they don't care about the timing of the Democrats. They care about money. Getting a book out.
Jesse Waters
Money.
Greg Gutfeld
It's all about the money. Yep, Yep.
Dana Perino
I mean, I got a book coming too.
Paul Morrow
That's true.
Dana Perino
But I don't think that it's going to hurt anybody.
Greg Gutfeld
And just like hers, it's fiction. One more thing's up next. How can we help make stronger communities happen? Well, at JPMorgan Chase, we invest in what's working in businesses that create more
Paul Morrow
jobs in hospitals delivering care where it's
Greg Gutfeld
needed the most, in workers building new buildings, bridges and roads, connecting what we need to where we live. Make the green grass grow all around, all around.
Dana Perino
Make the green grass grow all around.
Greg Gutfeld
Make momentum happen. Learn more@jpmorganchase.com impact.
Dana Perino
It's time for one more thing. Get this. There's this incredible story out of Alabama. So Jimmy and his 99 year old father Jim just became the first people ever to redeem Winchell's Oyster House's promise of free oysters for anyone who turns 80 and walks in with their father. Jimmy's younger brother Carl says the family plans to be back in 2028 when he turns 80. And that's a nice little thing right there.
Greg Gutfeld
Wow.
Jesse Waters
Those two geezers are gonna be horny tonight. You know what I'm saying, Dana?
Alexis McAdams
I don't.
Jesse Waters
It's an aphrodisiac.
Dana Perino
It is.
Jesse Waters
Yeah, it's an aphrodisiac. You want a dozen?
Greg Gutfeld
What is wrong with you?
Pcmatic Advertiser
Science.
Dana Perino
Greg, you're next.
Greg Gutfeld
All right, tonight we got a great show. Kat, Tim, Adam Hunter, Emily Campagno, Charlie Hurt. Oh, yeah. Also, you can go to my website, G gutfeld.com My four dates are April 11th, Duluth, Georgia. That I'm in Huntsville, Alabama. Oh, wait. I have a new show October 17th in Peoria. That's three days plays in Peoria. Let's do this. Greg's absolutely disgusting news. Oh, this is so repulsive.
Paul Morrow
Check it out.
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, that's a baby hippo that can't stop yawning. A pygmy hippo yawning at the John Ball Zoo in Michigan. This is gonna make you very, very tired. They don't have coffee for hippos, unfortunately. Look at that. They are so adorable, aren't they? Don't you just wish you could snuggle with them? Yeah, very cute.
Dana Perino
I don't know about the snuggling piece. I don't know. Get him some oysters.
Jesse Waters
All Right, Jesse, you want to see some Russian athleticism, Dana?
Dana Perino
More than ever.
Jesse Waters
Check this flying squirrel. That's the. No one ever does it anymore. But this Russian did. When you jump over the guy's back, just take him down like that. Pinned him right before the buzzer.
Greg Gutfeld
They call that the Don Lemon.
Jesse Waters
Tonight, Jesse Waters Primetime Johnny celebrates Women's History Month. Watch.
Paul Morrow
Who's this woman? It's in my head. Oh, my gosh. I'm like high right now. I'm so sorry.
Jesse Waters
I don't know who that was either. Was that Harriet Tubman?
Dana Perino
That's too fast. All right, Jessica.
Jessica Tarlov
All right. Best job ever. Hidden Valley Ranch is looking for a few lucky ranch bassadors. The select crew will travel across Europe and the UK for an on the ground culinary explorer tasting and pairing trip. But ranch with all the regional dishes. You could do this for your Jesse eats the world thing that you do. Spread the joy of ranch.
Dana Perino
Senator Gillibrand should take that on tour.
Jessica Tarlov
Does she love Hidden Valley Ranch?
Dana Perino
Do you remember that lady? She was like, I'm just trying to get some ranch.
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Paul Morrow
Okay, Paul, what the hell is in ranch? What is that stuff?
Jessica Tarlov
Oh, fat.
Paul Morrow
All right, all right. Anyway, they let me do the hockey stories here, which is great. I appreciate from the producers, this may look just like any game winning goal, but not for Rhode Island's Colin Dorgan. Check this out. In the mass shooting that happened in one of his games last month up in Canada, he lost his mother, his older brother and his grandfather. And yet he scores the game winning goal and the team goes to the championship. Congratulations, Paul.
Dana Perino
Congratulations indeed. All right, great show, everyone.

| Timestamp | Speaker | Quote / Moment | |-----------|----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 01:13 | Alexis McAdams | "They wanted to have extra security because everything happening in the country… The suspect was taken out. The question is, was he taken out by the armed security guard or was there an explosive device inside?" | | 02:55 | Donald Trump | "I want to send our love to the Michigan Jewish community and all of the people in Detroit, Detroit area following the attack…it's absolutely incredible that things like this happen." | | 05:05 | Greg Gutfeld | "You're not supposed to tap into your Strategic Petroleum Reserve to solve a problem that the President created himself." | | 07:23 | Jesse Waters | "You can't let the Iranians control 20% of the world's oil flow… The president has to see this through." | | 11:51 | Jessica Tarlov | "It's shortsighted to just be talking about this as an oil problem. This is a huge fertilizer problem...These are people who were Trump supporters, a lot of them."| | 13:56 | Greg Gutfeld | "The Biden White House pulled us into a war that had far less strategic value and importance than Iran...every celebrity...they loved Ukraine. And if you didn't go along with it, you were a Putin lover." | | 17:28 | Donald Trump | "He admitted he has mental problems, that he's not a smart person…But you know, when it comes to President, you gotta be sharp." | | 22:44 | Greg Gutfeld | "Literally, literally… Gavin Newsom protects pedophiles." | | 25:30 | Paul Morrow | "Who's the book for?...I'm wondering if she can resist that impulse to show her bona fides." | | 32:41 | Paul Morrow | "In the mass shooting...he lost his mother, his older brother and his grandfather. And yet he scores the game winning goal and the team goes to the championship."|
This episode of The Five delivered heated discussion, political sparring, and quick analysis of breaking news, notably the Michigan synagogue attack and broader national security threats. The panel provided opinionated, sometimes combative perspectives on U.S. foreign policy, oil geopolitics, domestic terror risks, and the ongoing culture war among political leaders. The podcast closed with lighter stories and human interest moments—offering both serious news breakdown and the familiar banter that characterizes "The Five."
