Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. The Trump Iran Deal: Substance, Context, and Comparisons

Segment: 00:04–14:01

• Context: President Trump, at the G7 in France, celebrates a new agreement with Iran, which is intended to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and terminate the US naval blockade.

• Panel’s Take on the Deal’s Core:

  • Jesse Waters: (00:40) “The main thing is that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon ... with strong policing powers ... because they probably would have used it if they had it.”
  • Waters asserts that aggressive military action preceding negotiations left Iran weakened and more willing to comply, specifically referencing airstrikes and covert oil operations.
  • He emphasizes tangible differences from JCPOA: total destruction/removal of uranium, maintaining military posture until compliance, and no up-front payments.
  • Sanctions relief is conditional—if Iran funds terror proxies, they get nothing. Gulf nations’ promised investments in Iran’s infrastructure reinforce the "perform first, pay later" approach.

• Skepticism & Critique:

  • Jessica Tarlov: (02:40) Questioned transparency: “We can't read [the deal]. ... This is the most transparent administration in history. But we can't read [the MoU].” (03:02) She recommends “wait and see,” noting progress but warning that no text has been released.
  • Emily Compagno: (10:38) Notes not even Israeli PM Netanyahu has seen the deal and that details are only memorialized in a digitally signed MoU, not a full treaty.
  • Greg Gutfeld: (02:14) Distinguishes real changes: “Most of their [Iran’s] leaders are dead. Their military infrastructure has been demolished.... [Now] they have to barely keep themselves together.”
  • Dana Perino: (05:22, 06:43) Criticizes media and Democratic eagerness to criticize prematurely: “My faith is in our president and the negotiators of this deal. And I’m also a little bit more patient than people like Obama and Chris Murphy.”

• Democratic Response:

  • Barack Obama (via Jesse Waters quote): (01:17) “It is doubtful that any agreement that arises is going to be significantly different or a significant improvement from the deal that we had in the first place.”
  • Greg Gutfeld: (01:53) “It is identical, as in plagiarized, as in lifted straight off of Obama's deal.”

Memorable Quotes:

• “If this is done ... this could be the crowning achievement of the Trump administration. This has been the thorniest foreign policy problem of ... the last 50 years.... you can win wars through air and naval blockades.” — Jesse Waters (09:00)
• “Maybe we are great. The Europeans are saying we're great. I think it must be true.” — Jesse Waters (20:20)

Notable:

• Vice President JD Vance is previewed as the administration's point person on the deal and its rollout.

2. Transparency, Allies, and Regional Implications

Segment: 10:38–13:55

• Allies’ Access & Agreement Architecture:

  • Compagno raises concern that traditional US allies and Israel have not seen the MoU and that while Gulf states may invest in reconstruction, Europe's, China’s, and Russia’s direct involvement (as in JCPOA) is absent.

• Money Flow & Execution:

  • Emily Compagno: (13:21) “On the money front, ... the US brokered a financial deal between the Qataris and the Iranians, meaning they already got money transferred…. The Obama deal is only $1.7 billion in unfrozen assets ... and [under JCPOA] they could only get to 3.7% enriched uranium.”

Concerns:

• The possibility of differing interpretations of the deal by the US, Iran, and Israel is flagged as a risk, especially as the MoU leaves “the tough stuff” open for up to 60 days.

3. Political Theatre: G7, UFC at the White House, and Democratic Counter-Programming

Segment: 14:24–26:34

• Split Screen America:

  • Trump hosts a UFC match at the White House to mark America’s 250th birthday (15:09).
  • Democrats hold a “counter rally,” complete with high-profile critics, celebrity speeches, and a group therapy vibe—"celebrities … singing … breathing exercises" (16:15).

• Panel’s Reactions:

  • Greg Gutfeld: (17:17) Mocks the “group of aging, fading, bitter, mentally unwell looking group of people” at the Dem event versus the fun, celebratory mood at the White House event.
  • Jessica Tarlov: (19:02) “Republicans are the fun team,” noting a decade of role reversal in party vibes.
  • Jesse Waters: (19:55) Sweeping paeans to American success: “We’ve just defeated … terror.... USA on the White House lawn … the greatest UFC fight... the US Air Force flying overhead.” Contrasts this with the somber Democratic gathering.

Notable Moment:

• Waters recounts a personal confrontation with a critic in a New York bagel shop, painting critics as “mentally ill” and disconnected from reality. (19:18)

4. Messaging, Patriotism, and Hypocrisy

Segment: 23:05–26:34

• Panel Disputes:

  • Compagno calls out the exclusivity of the event broadcast and the “Michelle Obama is a man” remark by a winning UFC fighter as a low note.
  • Gutfeld dismisses concerns, labeling the remark a troll and pointing to historic Democratic slights against the Trumps and others.

• Patriotism and Political Identity:

  • Dana Perino criticizes Democrats as unpatriotic: “The difference between the libs and the Republicans is that the Republicans … want everyone to be free … the Dems … will consistently hate half the country.” (25:18)
  • Gutfeld and Perino suggest only Republicans are celebrating an inclusive American identity, with stats that “29% of Dems hate the country and aren't proud to be American.” (25:18)

5. Biden’s Public Image amid Gaffe Coverage

Segment: 27:21–32:07

• Biden and the PR Struggle:

  • Biden’s attempts to reshape public perception include a light-hearted Jay Leno segment but are overshadowed by negative coverage and awkward anecdotes.
  • Waters details stories from The New Yorker about Biden’s struggles, including a cash bar reunion where staffers vented, “and then they all just sat around and bashed Barack Obama.” (29:41)

• Kamala Harris’s Place:

  • Gutfeld likens Harris’s polling lead to snack machine leftovers: “She is what’s there. ... It’s really not a legacy, it’s more like a smell.” (30:34)
  • Panel highlights Democrats’ weak bench and persistent relitigation of past cycles.

---

Memorable Moments & Quotes (w/ Timestamps)

• Jesse Waters on the deal’s significance:
  “This could be the crowning achievement of the Trump administration. This has been the thorniest foreign policy problem ... if he ends it, that is huge.” (09:00)
• Dana Perino on Democratic pessimism:
  “All of this is because people don’t want to root for America. They don’t want to root for a win just because Donald Trump is the one at the helm.” (06:43)
• Jessica Tarlov on GOP “fun team” status:
  “Barack Obama ... got young people ... Republicans were the party of older people. Now it’s flipped. And the Republicans are the fun team.” (19:02)
• Greg Gutfeld on partisan understanding:
  “We understand their mindset ... They don’t even understand their own mindset. Like, how did they get to this place and why are they so angry?” (17:17)
• Jesse Waters on American pride:
  “Maybe we are great. The Europeans are saying we’re great. I think it must be true.” (20:20)
• Dana Perino on Democratic patriotism:
  “The difference between the libs and the Republicans is that the Republicans ... want everyone to be happy and to love America. And the Dems, the libs will consistently hate half the country.” (25:18)

Additional Segments

Sports, Taxes, and Pop Culture

Segment: 32:07–35:25

• Knicks win NBA Finals; MVP Jalen Brunson jokes he misses Texas taxes.
  • Panel jokes about high taxes, sports riots, and public policy implications.
• Gutfeld asks why critics of ultra-wealthy never comment on rich athletes/teams (34:32).

One More Thing & Light-hearted Closes

Segment: 38:16–40:48

• Usual rotation of “one more thing” bits: viral videos, animal rescue stories, and ribbing about American and European cultural contrasts.

---

Final Observations

• The episode is a dynamic, sometimes sardonic debate on the substance vs. perception of major political actions, especially contrasting Trump’s “deal-making” with Democratic skepticism and style.
• Patriotism and national narrative are strongly foregrounded—panelists consistently frame events in terms of American pride, global leadership, and comparative vibrance.
• Memorable for sharply drawn contrasts—both in policy (Iran deal) and in political/cultural identity (White House UFC vs. Dem counter-programming).
• The panel's signature humor and combative banter are on full display, offering listeners a brisk, sometimes biting journey through the news cycle.

---

For Deep Dives:

• The first 14 minutes are most significant for detailed Iran deal discussion.
• 14:24–26:34 offers insight into how the panel views political spectacle and public engagement.
• Later sections (post-32min) switch to lighter, more pop-culture content.

Note:
Ads, show promos, and brief comedic asides were omitted for clarity and substance.

Transcript

[Greg Gutfeld]

Hi, I'm Greg Gutfeld, along with Emily Compagno, Jessica Tarloff, Jesse Waters, and she uses a grape as a yoga ball. Dana Perino, the five. President Trump at the G7 summit in France, rubbing elbows with world leaders as the US And Iran inked a memorandum of understanding, setting the stage to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the American naval blockade. The formal signing scheduled for Friday. And DJT is boiling the entire deal down to one thing.

[Jesse Waters]

The main thing is that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. They fully agree to that with strong policing powers. And they won't have a nuclear weapon, which is what it was all about, because they probably would have used it if they had it. So we had two big moments. When they terminated the jcpoa, that was the Obama deal, the Barack Hussein Obama deal, and when I terminated that, it was very important because it was a road to a nuclear weapon.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Speaking of Barack Hussein Obama, the former president says he's doubtful that Trump's Iran deal is better than his deal.

[Jesse Waters]

It is doubtful that any agreement that arises is going to be significantly different or a significant improvement from the deal that we had in the first place.

[Greg Gutfeld]

And with the signing ceremony just days away in Switzerland, the left's already yodeling failure. This reckless and costly war of choice has been a disaster as it relates to strengthening the national security of the American people.

[Jesse Waters]

Things aren't better for us.

[Greg Gutfeld]

They're worse.

[Jesse Waters]

In fact, Iran is stronger right now.

[Greg Gutfeld]

It is identical, as in plagiarized, as in lifted straight off of Obama's deal.

[Jesse Waters]

This war was just a colossal mistake. No, we are not any better off. Sort of back where we were when we started. No clear nuclear deal.

[Greg Gutfeld]

All right, Dana, they, they are, they're trying to say this isn't a significant difference from this agreement. Well, there are some significant differ forces. Most of their leaders are dead. Their military infrastructure has been demolished. They can't concentrate on exporting terror because they have to barely keep, they're barely keeping themselves together. So there is a difference here. The deal may sound similar, but you're dealing with an entirely different atmosphere.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Well, I could make their arguments better for them because there are things that you could say that, that you would be able to think, okay, so you killed all of those 40 leaders, but now the IRGC is in charge. Okay, so that's who we're dealing with and that's who we're supposed to stand next to on Friday and sign an agreement that nobody's seen and already read. Except for this is the most transparent administration history. But we can't read it. Like I could make all of those points.

[Greg Gutfeld]

You have to stop doing that.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Dana, I think she sounds. They don't call me. But the thing, like we said at the very beginning, the victories are usually visible, clear, understandable. And it's just premature to say we haven't even read the information. I would, if I were the Democrats, I would be saying, you telegraph everything else. Why won't you just let us read the thing? And I think there's maybe two reasons for that. One, things are still being worked out behind the scenes, which would be, I guess, understandable. It's like they jump the gun, perhaps, and saying, there's a deal, it's great, everything's moving, but wait. And then an hour later, no, it's not. But maybe it is. And I try to keep up with it all day long. I think the best thing we could tell our viewers right now is to say we got to wait and see. It looks like there could be progress here, at least in getting this to end and the possibility of oil to start moving, maybe that can then translate into some lower prices here at home. But in the meantime, you do have to look at the fact that they're going even back Soleimani was killed, the Operation Midnight Hammer that put the uranium underground in the first place, the fact that they were able to blow up all of the leadership and including I would go back even to what the Israelis did with the pagers and having all of that intel in there, like all, all of that is different and better and puts us in a better position than we were 10 years ago.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Right.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Or even more than that, like when the JCPOA written by Obama was there. The interesting thing is that on the, from a communication standpoint is that you have President Trump over in Europe talking to the Europeans about a variety of different things. But this is the headline. You have Vice President Vance, who you're going to see tonight. You're going to see him a lot over the next week, not only because he's now the face of dealing with this agreement, but he also has his book coming out, and it's a significant one about his own personal religious journey. And then at the same time, you have President Obama's library being open, so he's going to be out doing all of these interviews. So I have a feeling we're going to be talking a lot about Iran, but yet nobody's read the document, so it's unclear what you can really say about it.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yeah, we'll be Talking about the other person, talking about the other person, talking about it, because that's what we do on cable news. Do you feel like this announcement is more concrete than the previous announcements, given that, you know, Dana says maybe we jumped the gun, but we were always jumping the gun because we had pressure from the media to say something.

[Dana Perino]

It feels different. It feels very different. And the, you know, the opposite of prematurely spiking the football, which is what we are hearing from, for example, Chris Murphy out of Connecticut that says this has humiliated America. We actually, other than the major points, we don't know the specifics of this huge MoU because the text hasn't been released yet. So how is it that the prior president says it's doubtful it's anything new? I mean, I keep picturing the different yellow Nuprin commercials. Remember those? Of course it's different. And part of it that I've seen, in part because time has passed and because now they have agreed to no longer fund terror proxies, which to me was the greatest thing that the abomination of that prior deal fomented. We were paying for the deaths of Americans and our allies this entire time. And it reminded me of on Wednesday night when the Knicks were behind by 29 points and I went to bed because I didn't want to see the loss. And then I woke up in the morning and everything was awesome. All of this is because people don't want to root for America. They don't want to root for a win just because Donald Trump is the one with the helm. So we will learn a lot more, obviously, and especially when the Internet gets turned back on in that country, because right now, who we haven't heard from is all of those Iranian people that are likely, I would think, pretty excited about what the future has to hold. And to get there, there had to be a little bit of a give and take and a little bit of back and forth. So my faith is in our president and the negotiators of this deal. And I'm also a little bit more patient than people like Obama and Chris Murphy and Hakeem Jeffries, who seem to just want to spike the football the wrong direction immediately.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yeah, Jesse, who let Hakeem say Iran is strong as ever.

[Jesse Waters]

He was listening to Jessica. Sorry, Jessica. I've been briefed on the deal, and it's pretty simple. You immediately upon signing, the strait opens up and there's no tolling and there's no money exchanged, and you're going to get traffic probably restored within the next two to three weeks. What really made a difference were the airstrikes Monday and Tuesday. And Operation Freedom was covertly bringing oil out. So the Iranians lost all their leverage over the strait. But the most significant part of the deal is that the Iranians have signed in principle to agree for the complete destruction and removal of the uranium. Right now, they can't get it. They have no access to it. It's buried in a skyscraper's length deep underground. All three sites are inaccessible. And the United States is the only country with the technical expertise to be able to remove it. So we're going to remove it along with the IAEA and we're going to destroy it and we're going to bring it out of the country. And then, and only then, will there be sanctions relief. Also, they're not going to get any sanctions relief if they continue to fund terrorism. If Hezbollah attacks the Jews, the Jews have a right to defend themselves, but they will not be getting any sanctions relief. So they have to keep Hezbollah on a leash. And we will maintain our military posture until they give up the dust. That is the deal. And all the details of the MOU are gonna be released on Friday after the signing. And the bigger thing, in terms of like a regional peace deal, all of these Gulf nations have agreed to invest $300 billion to rebuild the energy infra of Iran because they've lost a trillion dollars through the bombing and the blockade. And that's big because you're going to economically integrate the region. And when you have investments and Iran is investable, you're not going to bomb each other. And it's a lot different already, as you said, from the Iran deal. We have Gulf allies invested. We have no sunset clause. We have the complete elimination of the uranium, so there is no enrichment. All of their leaders have been killed. 80% of the military has been decimated. And you're not going to have bribes, you're going to have them perform and then they can get paid. And if this is done, which is going to be negotiated up front within the first 30 days after the signing Friday, this could be the crowning achievement of the Trump administration. This has been the thorniest foreign policy problem of what, the last 50 years? And this is a 47 year war. And if he ends it, that is huge. And it shows that you can win wars through air and naval blockades. And that's a big threat to the Chinese.

[Greg Gutfeld]

It's a good point that you mentioned that it's been going on for 47 years, Jessica, because I think that's how you almost have to read Trump in a lot of these things, which is that he's a context president shows up, he looks around, he goes, that that reflection poll is disgusting. It's been disgusting forever. I want to fix it. The border is hell. I want to fix it. Iran. And he, by the way, he has been talking about Iran for how many decades now? So it only seemed natural that he would do it his way in a different way and see what works. Is there anything that Jesse said that you would disagree with?

[Emily Compagno]

Listen, if what Jesse said is about to happen, praise be right. That sounds absolutely fantastic. But Jesse has clearly been briefed more than like Lindsey Graham, for instance, who's pretty close to the president and he's been debriefed. Funny. You know, Lindsey Graham coming out yesterday and posting that he's concerned about the difference in opinion between what we say is in the deal and what the Iranians are saying. And then shifting the blame onto J.D. vance, which is quite strategic, where he said, no, this will be a huge feather in JD Vance's cap if it's hitting him, him means I want to give Donald Trump a break. If this is bad, right? If this is worse than the jcpoa, I can't go after dear Leader about this. So I'm going to put it on JD Vance. Not releasing any of the text is a choice since they have digitally signed it. So not quite an auto pen, but the thing is done. So you should have put it out there for people, especially for your supporters, because he has had a lot of people on his side are saying this had to happen for 47 years they've been a huge threat. And I think that it is also meaningful that just a couple hours ago Netanyahu was giving a press conference where he said, I haven't been able to see it. So the person that we went, the country that we went into the war with hasn't seen it, but they've allowed the Iranians to sign onto it. And he said that we're not complying. We're going to do what we need to do, which means that they could blow up the deal because from our perspective and the Iranian perspective, they want Israel to stop hitting Lebanon. Again, if what Jesse says is going to happen happens. Fantastic news. But from what it looks like that this is just an MOU that gives them up to 60 days to deal with the tough stuff. It doesn't look like that's what is going to happen. So the tough stuff on, on nuclear and also on the opening of the Strait of Hormuz without the tolling. If you watch J.D. vance this morning on both CBS and CNBC, that isn't ironclad that there won't be tolls when it reopens. The deal is similar to the jcpoa, seemingly, but not in this important aspect, which is we had other countries that signed onto the jcpoa. So this is a one way or a two way agreement between the US And Iran. Jcpoa, you say how great that the Gulf states are involved in this. JCPOA was all of Europe, the Chinese and the Russians were signed onto it. Right now we don't have any friends going into this deal together.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Of course they would sign onto it. What? Of course they would sign on to

[Emily Compagno]

it because it wasn't America first and the money question really matters.

[Greg Gutfeld]

We gotta go.

[Emily Compagno]

I've spoken less than everybody else. Let me finish.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Compared to who?

[Emily Compagno]

Everybody else on the panel except me.

[Greg Gutfeld]

You mean combined? You mean combined? That's a little weird. We all have our little timeframes. I haven't talked as much as you. I'm just sitting here looking great.

[Emily Compagno]

When I ask you about robot dogs or whatever, I only say like four words in the D block, just quickly. On the money front, arguably they have already gotten first of all the sanctions relief. But also the US brokered a financial deal between the Qataris and the Iranians, meaning they already got money transferred. And you talk about huge sums. 24 billion, 300 billion investment fund that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff really bad. So they can continue building luxury resorts or whatever they're going to go do with it. The Obama deal is only 1.7 billion in unfrozen assets of their money and they could only get to 3.7% enriched uranium.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Okay, any. Anything else you want to talk about? Anything else? Do you have a good weekend?

[Emily Compagno]

I was in Maine. It was beautiful.

[Greg Gutfeld]

That's fantastic. Did you run into your old friend Platter?

[Emily Compagno]

I did not wave.

[Greg Gutfeld]

All right, coming up next, the TDS dream team is in a rage over Trump's fight in the cage.

250 years ago, a nation born in revolution, founded by an idea Freedom. That one simple declaration took us to

[Jessica Tarloff]

places we never dreamed of. From 13 small colonies to 50 United States.

[Jesse Waters]

From fledgling republic to leader of the free world.

[Greg Gutfeld]

We don't always agree, but we're free, free, free, free to disagree.

[Jesse Waters]

America isn't just a place.

[Greg Gutfeld]

It's an idea the world depends on.

[Jessica Tarloff]

And freedom, like all great ideas, grows stronger with time.

[Jesse Waters]

America 250. Fox News Channel. America is watching.

[Jessica Tarloff]

So check out this split screen from last night in Washington. President Trump hosting a UFC fight at the White House. While in New York City, a who's who of the President's critics all got together for a counter rally featuring celebrity lectures and breathing exercises.

[Jesse Waters]

Trump said, I love the inflation. Now say it with me. Shut the up. Loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser. I can't love the country that's led

[Greg Gutfeld]

by Donald Trump and just take a

[Dana Perino]

really deep breath in and breathe in

[Emily Compagno]

all that hope, all that love, and

[Dana Perino]

just breathe out all that fear.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Right now, the government and its cronies is routinely violating its First Amendment to silence artists.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Don Lemon arrested. Georgia Fort arrested. Terry Moran fired from abc. All of us shown the door for just doing our jobs.

[Jessica Tarloff]

And if it's Democrats, you know, there was singing.

[Emily Compagno]

We're going to unite our voices to

[Dana Perino]

fight back against the repression and violence.

[Emily Compagno]

Are you ready to rise up?

[Jesse Waters]

Let's go. Rise up. We're going to rise up. We're rising behind this time. How do we get up? Stand to your feet, everybody.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Greg, I can't wait to hear the next Democrat group therapy session on why they can't win back men.

[Greg Gutfeld]

That was incredible. What a contrast. On one hand, you have this kind of a group of aging, fading, bitter, mentally unwell looking group of people. And then you contrast that with the obvious. You know, I forget about, just forget about the patriotism and the White House. Just people having fun, smiling and laughing. And they look at us and they go, ugh. We look at them and we just kind of laugh. And I think that's an interesting point, is that we understand their mindset and our mindset, but they don't understand either. They don't even understand their own mindset. Like, how did they get to this place and why are they so angry? Because if it were any other variable besides Trump, they would think they were being irrational. But for some reason, it is one giant blind spot and they've sacrificed all their credibility. I mean, they can't come after us for being disgusting about having this UFC fight when you had A trans party at the White House with Joe. So it's kind of like, you know what? This is fun. This is great. It appeals to a lot of people. You guys look very sad right now, and you might. Honestly, I could help them. We have tried to help them. And her breathing exercises, she's right about the breathing exercises. They do help, but they don't help in the way she's doing it. You don't get a bunch of angry people together and go, I know you're really angry. Breathe with me. See you later. I'm off on my private jet. They actually have to do that every morning and think about something other than Trump and politics. Politics.

[Jessica Tarloff]

It's kind of a funny window into the 10 year arc of the parties, Jesse, because Barack Obama, he got young people and they were enthusiastic and excited, and the Republicans were really kind of the party of the older people. Now it's flipped. And the Republicans are the fun team.

[Greg Gutfeld]

We are.

[Jesse Waters]

I was getting a bagel this weekend, and we were in line, and this woman with glasses and bad teeth in a ponytail hears my voice and she turns around and she says, you. And I said, oh. And she says, you are the one that Spews lies on TV. I mean, I'm like, Limbaugh, I'm right 99.8% of the time. But my wife's there and she says, do you talk to everyone like that the way you talk to my husband? And she's like, go on, go inside and get your bagel. And the woman starts shaking. You know how mentally ill they are. And she's like, totally disconnected from reality.

[Greg Gutfeld]

They don't know how to talk to

[Jesse Waters]

people like, like miserable, angry, craz. And you look at what's going on here. I mean, we've just defeated the world's number one state sponsor of terror. We're about to sign a peace deal to get all their uranium. We just had thousands of Americans chanting USA on the White House lawn at the greatest UFC fight I've ever seen. Seven TKOs in a row. While they have the Marine Band playing all the intro songs, while they have the US Air Force flying overhead to celebrate America 250, the greatest country in the world. At the same weekend, you have all of these Europeans who the liberals love here visiting, talking about how the United States is the greatest country in the world. Have you seen these videos of the French, Germans and the Dutch, like, astounded about our landscape, our food, our trucks, our freedom, how friendly the American people are? And it's like the United States is also like, wait a second, we take all this stuff for granted. Yeah, maybe we are great. The Europeans are saying we're great. I think it must be true. So the Knicks, Trump, snow jinx, major championship. Think about the run we're on. We have the hockey team winning the gold. I mean, we have crime down the border sealed. We have the UFO files coming out. Jessica, this is a generational run we're on. I think you should just be happy to be alive.

[Jessica Tarloff]

This is very similar counter programming that the Democrats did at the State of the Union that also fell flat or the no Kings rally. And a lot of it is just all anger directed at Trump. At some point. Do the Democrats know how to pivot and to talk about some sort of solution oriented ideas that they have instead of this kind of thing?

[Emily Compagno]

Well, I think so. And we've been doing well in elections, which indicates that people are hearing something that they like. And I think beyond just we don't like Trump, since a lot of voters were Trump 20, 24 voters and now are swing in this direction. I would separate the no Kings rallies out of this because I think mobilizing, you know, 5, 8 million people is a big deal. And hopefully that translates.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Thank you, George Soros and NGOs.

[Emily Compagno]

Okay, it's all fake.

[Greg Gutfeld]

No, no, I'm just saying it's definitely.

[Emily Compagno]

And there are no real. There are no Republican billionaires that mobilize

[Greg Gutfeld]

the way you guys do it.

[Emily Compagno]

I Elon Musk what he's done a quarter of a billion dollars getting Donald Trump elected. So yeah, like, I don't agree with all of the counter programming.

[Greg Gutfeld]

The Charlottesville.

[Emily Compagno]

I'm still okay. I'm very proud to be an American no matter who the President is. And I think that that is important to spend some time on, especially as we head into the 250th birthday. The contrast was stark. I thought the flyover looked really cool. UFC is not my jam. I wouldn't watch it in the garden and don't want to watch it on the lawn. But Jesse saying this is, you know, about America's birthday, etc. It was not lost on anyone that you could only watch it on Paramount plus on David Ellison's streaming service or that he's paying the fighters in crypto. And it's the Trump family coin.

[Jesse Waters]

Paramount owns ufc. They own the rights.

[Emily Compagno]

If it's for all of us, they should have found a way so that all of us could watch. And you've got to mention, and I know you probably don't want to that the guy who won at the end, that Josh Hocut, gets up there and says, Michelle Obama is a man. That was his final message. So you had a guy who vomited on himself during a weigh in the day before, stands up there. Joe Rogan, maybe he was paralyzed in the moment and didn't think I should emphasize the fact that Michelle Obama, a former first lady, since we're talking about patriotism and paying our respects to the White House and those who've come before us, is not a man.

[Greg Gutfeld]

He's not running for Senate. It doesn't.

[Emily Compagno]

And then the White House today won't even clean it up. Stephen Chung's like, well, Josh Hocut had a great night. Dana White is out there saying, this is no good. Portnoy Shane Gillis, everybody knows that it is repulsive. And I presume you guys know this as well. That that shouldn't.

[Greg Gutfeld]

How about Platner?

[Emily Compagno]

Why can't you just say that the guys have said that, Michelle?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Because I'm merely pointing out there's nobody on the left that has any credibility to ask us that question.

[Emily Compagno]

Because we don't know it. What a woman is. Is that what you're trying.

[Greg Gutfeld]

No, because you guys have kept silent on everything. Hell, I seem to remember not too long ago how often I heard that Melania Trump was an escort. And from a lot of people who are now huffing and huffing. People who say that a black kid who stabs a white kid, that was just him defending himself. People faking Charlie Kirk getting stabbed in the neck thinking it's funny. People hoping for another Luigi Mangioni to take out Elon Musk or perhaps Trump or maybe both. See, we don't have to listen. In fact, we enjoy it when you're upset. That guy is a troll. He showed up at the weigh in pretending he was drunk. It was throwing up applesauce as a fake pretense cuz he was pretending he was scared. That's called a troll. We get it. Not our fault if you don't. He knew. He knows it's gonna upset you. He's a troll. You give a mic to a troll,

[Emily Compagno]

some standards

[Greg Gutfeld]

vote for Platner.

[Jessica Tarloff]

That's what his point was. Emily, give us a final word.

[Dana Perino]

We have to be clear.

[Jesse Waters]

You lost your credibility.

[Emily Compagno]

Yeah.

[Dana Perino]

And that everyone is ascribing what that one athlete said to President Trump.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Look.

[Dana Perino]

Look at the difference between those two events. One was held at the People's House. You talk about watching it. Anyone could have gone. Tickets were available. Anyone can go to the People's house and the capital of this entire country and go. And then you contrast the Dems concert here in New York City, which is number 50 on the list of affordable housing. That's why half of that audience had white hair because they are all from the Upper east side. They are so wealthy. Those guys are has beens. Robert De Niro and Julia Roberts. They did not get the message that using them, these, these leftover celebrities from the 90s that don't even live these gated, you know, homes, somehow they are the mouthpiece that the Dems are trying to get back. Robert De Niro flat out said, I can't love the country that's led by Donald Trump. The difference between the libs and the Republicans is that the Republicans conservatives truly want everyone to be free. They want everyone to be happy and to love America. And the Dems, the libs will consistently hate half the country. And that's why 29% of Dems hate the country and aren't proud to be American. You're only one of 29% that is proud of America right now. As a Democrat. That is shameful that the party doesn't say, you know what, you guys, you should lift everyone up. Yeah, you should be happy no matter what.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Okay, we got to go. Coming up next, Joe Biden's riding shotgun with Jay Leno. But Democrats wish he'd just take the next exit.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Let's go put some miles on the

[Jesse Waters]

Chevy with the engine running. Just you? Me? I sold my car in Carvana last night.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Well, that's cool.

[Jesse Waters]

No, you don't understand. It went perfectly. Real offer down to the penny. They're picking it up tomorrow. Nothing went wrong.

[Jessica Tarloff]

So what's the problem?

[Jesse Waters]

That is the problem. Nothing in my life goes to smoothly. I'm waiting for the catch.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Maybe there's no catch.

[Jesse Waters]

That's exactly what a catch would want me to think. Wow.

[Jessica Tarloff]

You need to relax.

[Jesse Waters]

I need a knock on wood. Do we have wood? Is this table wood?

[Dana Perino]

I think it's laminate.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Okay.

[Emily Compagno]

Yeah, that's good.

[Jesse Waters]

That's close enough.

[Dana Perino]

Car selling without a catch.

[Emily Compagno]

Sell your car today on Carvana.

[Dana Perino]

Pick up.

[Jesse Waters]

These may apply through the storms, through the cries.

[Dana Perino]

They just won't go away. The New York magazine dropping a bombshell piece titled Building back the the urgent, embarrassing and occasionally convincing campaign to salvage their legacy. But Joe's not riding off into the sunset. That's because he's riding shotgun with Jay Leno.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Watch two old guys getting in a Corvette.

[Jesse Waters]

By the way, I'm a civilian that

[Greg Gutfeld]

have ridden the railroad more than any paid railroad. I've ridden over a total of 1,800,000 miles on Amtrak.

[Jesse Waters]

Really? Wow.

[Jessica Tarloff]

I know.

[Jesse Waters]

You're a big ice cream guy, right? I am, Man.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Have you guys ever met a president

[Jesse Waters]

of the United States? Well, this is Joe Biden.

[Dana Perino]

Jessica.

[Emily Compagno]

It's not helpful. The book coming out in September. It was supposed to come out after the midterms. It would be much better if it's after the midterms. I always like to be accurate. So I do apologize that I didn't know that the fighter had ingested a go go squeeze that my kids have. And that was applesauce. So I do apologize. I stand by the rest of it, though.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I think he is going to sue you, though.

[Emily Compagno]

Well, I just cleared it up.

[Jessica Tarloff]

The Go go squeeze.

[Dana Perino]

Yes, Jesse.

[Jesse Waters]

All right, so the New Yorker says that the Bidens are involved in an aggressive effort to remind people that Joe Biden is not just a loser. And they brought the New Yorker in to help them in this effort. And it completely backfires. One line is like Donald Trump's in the White house celebrating America's 250th birthday, hosting the UFC fight while Biden speaking at a three star hotel by the airport in an attempt to salvage his reputation. They also include a story from Mike Lawlor, a congressman who said in 2023, they met him backstage before an event and he asked him about the border, and he just takes a note card out and says, we need more Border patrol agents. And I just spoke with the president of Mexico. He was reading his talking points off of a note card backstage, and he needed so much help. He said he felt sorry for him. He was reading it to me, losing his train of thought, getting confused in the middle of it. This is part of the PR campaign that the Bidens are doing, and this is what they're saying about it. They talk about a reunion of Biden's staff. They did it at some, like, stupid Kelly's Pub. Kelly's Pub. And everyone bitched because it was a cash bar. No one could pay for the drinks of any of these people. And then they all just sat around and bashed Barack Obama. This is bad. This is really, really bad. And it's going to get worse, Dana.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Well, the Bidens are like Terminator 1. Every time you think they've gone, he just, like, shows back up. And then the Democrats have to relitigate 2024 over again, over and over again. And then you had this really hilarious headline last week, Hunter Biden defends Graham Platner on Gavin Newsom's podcast. I mean, things are not going well,

[Greg Gutfeld]

I would say, Greg, you know, it's not just Joe, it's Kamala. She's leading the pack right now in the latest poll. And I think that's because that is all there is. I think the Dems are in a really weird state. They remind me of, you know, the generic snacks in a vending machine. You know, the people who, who supply the snacks know you. You don't really have much choice when you're in the courthouse at 8pm Kamala is like the Lance Toast G peanut butter sandwich cracker. It's like it's not worth a dollar, but I'm starving, so I will eat it. She is what's there in terms of Joe. It's really not a legacy. It's more like a smell. And you can't help but smell it when you see him. There's a reason why businesses clean up after a tragic accident on the company floor. You know, there's a reason real estate agents scrub away the blood stains in a murder house. No one needs to be reminded of the crime that came before, especially if you were part of the crime. A lot of the people whining about him kept their mouths shut during this time, saying, oh, my Axel Rod. Well, what. Where were you? You're just as guilty as the people that propped him up because, well, you were propping him up.

[Dana Perino]

Yeah.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yeah, guys.

[Dana Perino]

Coming up next, Knicks fans were torching school buses as their star player torches his state's high taxes.

[Jesse Waters]

The wheels on the bus go up in flames. Up in flames. Sing it with me. Up in flames. Knicks fans torching school buses in celebration after winning the championship for the first time since 1973. And while Knicks fans were busy burning rubber, the team's captain and mvp, Jalen Brunson, was burning New York taxes and joking he'd rather be back in Texas.

[Dana Perino]

What do you have against Texas?

[Jesse Waters]

I have nothing against Texas. I love Texas. I miss the Texas taxes, the jock taxes. You have to pay the taxes of the state you play in.

[Dana Perino]

Okay, first of all, no one should be surprised by this because remember, Tariq Hill in 2022 talked about it. He said it was a grown up decision, why he went to Miami, the Dolphins instead of the jets, and he was said, saved like $2.7 million. But what I loved about his framing is that I think people find it, like, personally offensive if there's some type of geographic snub. But the reality is there is so much money to be saved. It is such a drain here. I mean, it's insane. And then also, the only reason that I partly like, maybe I'll be canceled for saying this, but I sort of wanted us to go to game six is because, you know, when you lose or when you win in a different city, that's not home. Like, I wanted the. Like I wanted the Knicks to win here so that everyone could, I guess, burn down MSG together. But to have them have them here,

[Jesse Waters]

you don't want to burn MSG down.

[Dana Perino]

For the record, Jessica, I mean, everyone

[Emily Compagno]

would like better taxes, right? Even the biggest libs in New York City. I cry, actually. I send in a check. Today was nearly in tears. Jalen Brunson, though. And all of the Knicks are so beyond thrilled that they are New York Knicks and won this title for this city. And I have. It is just one of the best sports plot lines in a really long time. And as far as the school buses or the havoc, nothing like an Eagles fan.

[Jesse Waters]

I don't remember burning down buses.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I'll make you urinate on the bus first.

[Jesse Waters]

That's how we put it out.

[Emily Compagno]

Climb up the lampposts in Philly.

[Jesse Waters]

We greased a few poles. Jessica. So what?

[Jessica Tarloff]

I think it's helpful that the hero of New York is making an argument that we try to make every single day. That if you have lower taxes, you will have a better broader tax base and you will have more economic growth. They won't listen to us, but they might listen to him.

[Greg Gutfeld]

You know, I think you guys missed the bigger point here. I am curious about the crossover of recognizable Knicks fans in media, government, and Hollywood who condemn Musk for his wealth. The knicks are worth $9 billion. And I'm just wondering, you know, if they liquidated that money could pay off so much college debt and solve world hunger. Because I think world hunger's at $6 billion. You got 3 billion left over. Ro Khanna, Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren. They have not picked that fight yet. You know who's worse? A trillionaire who doesn't even own a house or a 27 year old athlete covered in gold chains who drives a Lamborghini and shoes created by a 10 year old. I mean, seriously, That's a great point.

[Jesse Waters]

Seriously, Seriously, Seriously.

[Emily Compagno]

Can we just be happy about how cool this is?

[Greg Gutfeld]

We are now say that about ufc.

[Jesse Waters]

Oh, she can't do it. You can't do it, Jessica. No, it's not wheels on the bus. Just kidding. Up next, the power of rent compels them young ladies are living with nuns.

[Emily Compagno]

Forget living with your parents. Some young women in New York City are living with nuns for the cheaper rent. But here's the catch. It comes with a curfew, and they vet your boyfriends. Rent's really expensive.

[Dana Perino]

I love this so much. Here's why. First of all, it's totally Anne of Green Gables or Anne of Gigi, as they say. And then, secondly, this is like the opposite of those tiny homes in Seattle that we talked about, the homeless. Because here it's like, yeah, no TV or whatever it is. Hot meal on the table, like curfew. Like, basically, you behave and then you get rewarded by an affordable place where you feel safe, which doesn't happen here. Otherwise, I would love to live in a convent. I love the nuns. I love this.

[Emily Compagno]

Dana, you did a lot of research on the young lady. Purple state.

[Jessica Tarloff]

I don't know, guys. I mean, I love the nuns, but I don't want to live there. But I also get it. I also understand that, like a lot of young women, they want to live in the city. But you have to understand, there's some great places out there in America. Follow. All these European tourists are going all across America. Great opportunities where the rent is not so expensive. And when you get to a higher level of income, then you can move to New York and you don't have to live with the nuns.

[Emily Compagno]

Greg, what do you think?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Well, you know, most of my mistakes in life were due to having too many options. One of my options were limited when I came to New York. I couldn't have any mail callers at the house. 11pm curfew, no partying. I wouldn't be spending money at restaurants. My life probably would have been better and healthier because I wouldn't have created so many headaches. Plus, I'd pick up some nasty habits.

[Emily Compagno]

All right, Jesse.

[Jesse Waters]

I stumbled upon a convent out by my neighborhood a couple months ago. You can just drive up into the mountains and there's just a convent sitting there with no security. The doors are open. I started exploring and started opening doors and walking around, and some nun stopped me. And she was completely friendly. But, I mean, I could have been a maniac. These people are crazy.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Who are me.

[Dana Perino]

I'll bet that. That thing, you know, Totally Maria von Trapp before she was Von Trapp. I never saw that.

[Emily Compagno]

But, like, you know, you never saw Sister.

[Dana Perino]

Oh, God, no.

[Jesse Waters]

Is that with Whoopi?

[Dana Perino]

No.

[Jesse Waters]

Yeah, I loved it.

[Emily Compagno]

It's amazing. One more thing.

[Jesse Waters]

What was the one where she was doing.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Before we get to one More thing, you can catch Vice President JD Vance on Hannity tonight, Fox and Friends tomorrow morning. And then he's gonna be with us at this very table tomorrow. All right, I'll go first tonight. What a great show that I have tonight. Kat Timp, Dave Landau. Morgan Ortega is back. And who's that guy? Joe Mackey. Hey, let's do this.

[Jesse Waters]

Yeah.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Check. Check her out. Fresh out of the hospital. Kathy Griffin getting yet another new face. She's out there now. She has to be very careful. She can only eat nutrient rich undigested seeds until she fully heals. But I love her red hair. It's always beautiful. She reminds me of a red river hog, the kind you see in Africa. All right, Jesse.

[Jesse Waters]

All right. Today we have Vivek Sage Steele and Robert Greenway. And I believe we also have J.D. vance's cousin.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Oh, that's fantastic.

[Jesse Waters]

He's just blanketing Steve. Steve, Steve.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Great dude. Barrel of laughs.

[Jesse Waters]

Yeah. We're gonna lead off with him, Dana.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Okay. A World cup fan visiting from Scotland had a surprise. He was stunned. Look at this. He was watching in Boston Stadium this weekend as he watched a New England Patriots cheerleader's performance on the Jumbotron, his mouth wide open in amazement. It's like America the beautiful. Indeed.

[Dana Perino]

Welcome to the usa.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I can't believe you are cheering. This objectification of Jessica.

[Emily Compagno]

Love all the World cup stuff. Read the post about the Japanese discovering bottomless salsa and chips. The World Pup took place in Missouri. An animal charity called Casey Pet project put up 400 puppies for adoption at a FIFA fan festival in Kansas City. The charity will host more positive experiences for pet lovers throughout the World Cup. Adopt all the puppies.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Cute.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Emily.

[Dana Perino]

Off the coast of Australia during the annual humpback migration.

[Greg Gutfeld]

No.

[Dana Perino]

A humpback whale got entangled in a shark net and in a dramatic four hour rescue was freed to the entire chorus of cheering from our entire globe. Also, I hope the Scotsman goes to see the Raider rats.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Ben Hill jaw will really you should do like you should do voiceovers for Fox Nation wildlife rescues.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Excuse me, you. Do you really believe that Scotsman has never been to a strip club?

[Jesse Waters]

Do they have not where the girls

[Dana Perino]

look like they do here, obviously.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Wow. What a jab at Scottish.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Wow.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Wow.

[Jessica Tarloff]

Scott's hardest hit.

[Emily Compagno]

It's like they're full Monty.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I saw Bret Barrett UFC last night. least on the telly, as they say.

[Jesse Waters]

Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile with a message for everyone paying big wireless way too much. Please, for the love of everything good in this world stop with Mint, you can get premium wireless for just $15 a month, of course, if you enjoy overpaying.

[Emily Compagno]

No judgments.

[Greg Gutfeld]

But that's weird.

[Jesse Waters]

Okay, one judgment anyway. Give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront payment

[Emily Compagno]

of $45 for three month plan equivalent to $15 per month required intro rate first three months only, then full price
