Hello everybody, I'm Jesse Waters along with Kayleigh McEnany, Harold Ford Jr, Dana Perino and Greg Gutfeld. It's five o' clock in New York City and this is the five President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth addressing the top military brass gathered in Quantico, Virginia. Hegseth dropping a nuke on WOKE standards and telling troops to drop down and give them 20.
Greg Gutfeld
Should our enemies choose foolishly to challenge.
Jesse Waters
Us, they will be crushed by the.
Greg Gutfeld
Violence, precision and ferocity of the War Department.
Jesse Waters
In other words, to our enemies fafo no more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses.
Greg Gutfeld
No more climate change worship.
Jesse Waters
No more division distraction or gender delusions.
Greg Gutfeld
We are done with that, the era of nations or really any formation and see fat troops.
Jesse Waters
Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat.
Greg Gutfeld
Generals and admirals in the halls of.
Jesse Waters
The Pentagon and leading commands around the country and the world. It's a bad look. President Trump following Secretary Pete's speech with an hour long speech letting the brass know that he has their backs.
Donald Trump
Together, we're reawakening the warrior spirit. And this is a spirit that won and built this nation. And we're a team. And so my message to you is very simple. I am with you. I support you, and as President, I have your backs 100%. You'll never see me even waver a little bit. Over the next few years, we're going to make our military stronger, tougher, faster, fiercer and more powerful than it has ever been before. We have beautiful paper. They're gorgeous paper. I said throw a little More gold on it. They deserve it. Give me. I want the A paper, not the D paper we used to sign a piece of garbage. I said, this man's going to be a general, right? Yeah. I don't want to use this. I want to use the big, beautiful, firm paper. America is respected again as a country. We were not respected with Biden. They looked at him falling downstairs every day. Every day the guy's falling downstairs. One thing with Obama, I had zero respect for him as a president, but he would bop down those stairs. I've never seen. Da, da, da, da, da, da, bop, bop, bop. He'd go down the stairs, wouldn't hold on. I said, it's great. I don't want to do it. I guess I could do it, but eventually bad things are going to happen.
Jesse Waters
And the reviews are in from the ladies of the View. And Joy Behar wasn't a fan of Pete's War on Fat generals.
Greg Gutfeld
Why is he obsessed with fat?
Harold Ford Jr.
I don't understand how that was supposed.
Greg Gutfeld
To be an uplifting message for our military.
Harold Ford Jr.
Maybe he's referring to Colonel Sanders. It was just. It was really a bizarre thing.
Greg Gutfeld
I don't understand the sort of hypocrisy of firing these people, having all these people meet together and then denigrating them.
Jesse Waters
So going into this, Dana, the mainstream media was freaking out. Why is he doing this? What's going on? And now you see what happened today.
Harold Ford Jr.
What happened?
Juan Williams
Well, even this morning, there was an NPR report that said, well, this is reminiscent of 1935, I think, when Hitler brought all the generals together and they just basically, the cat ran away with the spoon and they a little bit lost their minds. So when it comes to the View, frankly, this speech, she wasn't a targeted audience. The target audience was the people in the room. Now they open it up to the media so that everybody could see it. We live in a television world that makes sense to me. But even I wasn't the audience. The audience were the people that they brought in. And I, for one, am all for a more aggressive posture for Department of War. I'm actually okay calling it the Department of War. I like being on a more aggressive standing. I think that what the President said about I have your backs was the basic military principle that maybe they didn't feel like they needed to hear it, but everybody was in the room, everybody heard the same thing. So nobody can go away and say, I thought, I think we're supposed to do climate change stuff now. No, everybody got the same message all at the same time. I did think that one of the things that might have been great for the President and for the generals and the Secretary would have been for there to be maybe a shorter speech on the President's side, but a longer photo line where he could shake everybody's hand, get a picture and have that personal touch.
Jesse Waters
Did he do the photo?
Juan Williams
I don't think so. I think he left right after that. Okay.
Jesse Waters
Greg Gutfeld. Yes. Were you inspired by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth?
Greg Gutfeld
Very confused. Dana, what does FAFO stand for?
Juan Williams
I need to. I have to. Direct message.
Greg Gutfeld
Just the first part.
Juan Williams
Just to ask.
Greg Gutfeld
Okay. All right. I was just. The attack on beards was just a mean slight on Cory Booker. I don't understand. It's not surprising that the view does not understand how important fitness is, especially to self defense. You know, their only threats are flatulence and heartburn. Their only enemy is carbs and they're getting their butts kicked. I was sitting, you know, listening to this and I kept thinking about how I used to see our nation's enemies when I grew up. I grew up during the Cold War. So it was Russia. I was here at 9 11. So it was Islamism. Those were the two. But today I don't feel like there's an evil access. I get that we can't trust Russia, we can't trust China, we can't trust Iran. But they don't fill me with apocalyptic fear. And I think it's cause I feel like it's from within. And I think they understood that. That there was a pernicious, determined ideology that saw virtue in our weakness and viewed strength as oppressive. That was the Wokeism. And people think that being against WOKE is just minor. No, it was a big deal. I always felt that what was destroying our country was within. They understand that if you look at the last, I don't know, five years or whatever, you know, appointing a cross dressing luggage thief to oversee nuclear waste and a delusional admiral man as Assistant Secretary of Human Health and Services. Is that right? Fashions himself a female. These revealed priorities that were beneficial to our enemies. They loved seeing that stuff. When we opened investigation into the politics of our troops to weed out perceived white supremacy. Our enemies must have liked that too because we're taking our eye off the ball. When we mandated curriculum that dictated that our country's values are indefensible, that they might be racist who or oppressive. I mean that is amazing for people who hate us. Our enemies must have loved that. So I guess when I see this is you're seeing solid leadership standing up to this suicidal snowball that's coming down. That was to an impending implosive defeat. And our global competitors who do not have this suicidal empathy, they don't even have to lift a weapon. We destroy ourselves. I mean, identity politics is the key and was the key to our own destruction. So I feel like this is progress in a big way. It's not about China or Russia or Iran. It's about us.
Jesse Waters
Harold Ford, do you take issue with anything your colleague Greg has said?
Harold Ford Jr.
I just have a slightly different opinion. First of all, I feel like I've been gone for a month. It's good to see everybody, good to be back. Couple things, and I don't like differing with my pal DP either.
Juan Williams
But first off, brace yourself, America.
Harold Ford Jr.
I tread carefully. I didn't like the televised part of this because it reminded me of something that might happen in China or North Korea. I didn't mind Secretary Hecseth, whom I know and consider, consider a friend doing what he did. But I have to say, if I were an adversary of the United States, and obviously I'm not, but if I was watching this, I'm not convinced that I would be more fearful of the United States or for that matter, wanting to be more like them. Number two, I don't like the Department of War moniker now. I think it should be called the Department of Deterrence. President Trump is the first president in my lifetime, I'm 55, who openly talks about not wanting war, wanting to end wars, wanting to get people out of war even when they're not Americans, shedding blood. He has shown a compassion verbally for, and I think sincerely on behalf of the Ukrainians and the Russians. Greg, you're right in a lot of ways. I grew up, you're just a few years older than me, but I grew up the same way with Russia and then the axis of evil that president your boss talked about so eloquently. Dana, I think the challenge we face now is one that has evolved. We still face a military threat from China, and I think we face an economic threat from China. And I think technology to me is the great kind of equalizer in some ways. As we watch the threat we face from radical Islam in the 2000s, we saw the rise of non nation state actors. And the non nation state actors today are ones that have great engineers and people who can hack into systems and can undermine and upend the way lives are lived and. And for that matter, anywhere in the world.
Greg Gutfeld
Can I ask you a question?
Harold Ford Jr.
Yes, sir.
Greg Gutfeld
How do you fight those threats when you're fighting yourself?
Harold Ford Jr.
So I think every, I don't think, I think every generation has had an opportunity or has had that threat where they've had to fight from within. You can look back in the 20s, the 30s, the 40s, the 50s, from the 20s, when you had basically inside America, it was very, very rich people who, frankly, that's how unions got started. And frankly, where I'm from, in the south, we, we didn't have electricity, so we had to have a president create the TVA and do all these things. So we've always had these things. And it made me more prominent today. I don't disagree with your things about Di and some of the challenges, but I look at it, I look at it differently. And I just wish and hope that both the president and Secretary Hegseth, I'm sure they understand the men and women in that room today. They're the most important, the most experienced commanders in all of the world. They have seen more combat manage and successfully manage through more crises than anybody, I would argue, in American business, education, media, and certainly the military. I hope at some point we're able to give those men and women in that room our plans to win in Ukraine, our plans to resolve the matters in the Middle east, and for that matter, what we're going to do going forward to ensure that, Greg, that what you said turns out to be right, that my kids and your kids and all of our kids don't have to think about the kind of axis of evil and challenges that we face. They probably will. It will be different. But I think the moment we face today, China is the thing that concerns me.
Greg Gutfeld
I'm more scared of what I see in our cities. Radicals, the rev, the revolutionaries on campuses, the people who call us fascists, and Hitler who kill our leaders here. North Korea didn't kill Charlie Kirk.
Kayleigh McEnany
Yeah. And I would say the generals in that room, the military personnel in that room, saw the weakness and fecklessness of President Joe Biden. They saw someone who let Afghanistan fall. I still have questions as to what happened in the Situation Room. Was he fully there? Was he fully with it as he was making these grievous national security decisions? They saw a commander in chief that said don't. And then they saw a Russian adversary that did in Ukraine, saw someone who said don't. And then they saw that Hamas did in Israel. They saw weakness. And then they see President Trump and they saw a guy who took out for Doe. They saw a guy who acted who's made peace in seven conflicts, who's on the verge of a Gaza peace deal. And I think they're relieved to have this guy back as a true commander in chief. Look, I remember 20, 21, the Russians put out their military ad. To hell with limits, they said there's no victory without battles. We put out our ad for the military recruitment video. I was raised by two moms. I marched for equality. I'm sorry, what do you respect? What does the adversary respect? They respect the strength of President Trump and the message he sent. I agree with you. Dana is so important. When he said, I am with you, I support you, I, I have your backs 110%. I remember going to Fort Bragg with President Trump when I was press secretary and the guys there were like, you have such a tough job as press secretary. I'm like, no, you have the toughest job. And I said, and I think of you guys when I land in the Osprey and the things that you have gone into. And I said, you've got to be nervous. And they said, no, we are ready for it. We want the green light from President Trump. They want the green light because they have a commander in chief. I don't think they want the green light under President Obiden. After seeing the perilous fallen afternoon, Biden.
Harold Ford Jr.
Is no longer the president. Everybody and the same military that worked under Biden is the same military that executed that flawless, flawless execution of that, of the nuclear that President Trump then all of a sudden build this military. This is a continuation from President Obama, from President Bush, from H.W. bush, from Reagan. We are the greatest in the world. And I just don't think that. I don't disagree with a lot of.
Kayleigh McEnany
People started on Biden.
Harold Ford Jr.
All I said, everybody around the table, stop looking back, go forward. President Trump, you deserve a lot of the credit, but don't trash everybody that came before.
Greg Gutfeld
I would not want to look backward if I realized that Biden was never president.
Harold Ford Jr.
It what.
Greg Gutfeld
You got to show his face.
Jesse Waters
Up next, Turning Point USA returns to Utah as liberals spew more hatred towards the late Charlie Kirk.
Kayleigh McEnany
Certain details can make a big difference.
Greg Gutfeld
Recently we asked some people about sharing their New York Times accounts.
Dana Perino
My name is Dana. I am a subscriber to the New York Times. But my husband isn't. And it would be really nice to be able to share a recipe or an article or compete with him in wordle or connections.
Greg Gutfeld
Thank you, Dana. We heard you introducing the New York Times family subscription. One subscription, up to four separate logins for anyone in your life. Find out more@nytimes.com family.
Kayleigh McEnany
Charlie Kirk's legacy of civil debate continues to inspire. Turning Point USA will return to Utah tonight for the first time since the founder Charlie Kirk's assassination at Utah Valley University nearly three weeks ago. But while his message lives on, the hatred from the left has not ceased. New York Times columnist Ezra Klein giving a platform to progressive author Tennessee Coates, failing to push back on Coats as she disparaged the character of Charlie Kirk.
Harold Ford Jr.
I think Charlie Kirk was a hate monger. I take no joy in the killing of anyone, no matter what they said. But if you ask me what the truth of his life was, you know, the truth of his public life, I would have to tell you it's hate. I'd have to tell you it is the usage of hate and the harnessing of hate towards political ends.
Greg Gutfeld
Then let me flip that question actually a bit.
Harold Ford Jr.
Why are we losing?
Kayleigh McEnany
There he was. Tennessee Coates. And Congressman Ilhan Omar was equally awful. She doubled down on attacking Charlie Kirk while speaking to Don Lemon.
Juan Williams
It is a tragedy that Charlie Kirk was killed in that way, but there.
Harold Ford Jr.
Is no legacy to honor.
Juan Williams
It was a legacy filled with bigotry, hatred, and white supremacy.
Kayleigh McEnany
Dana, it's just crazy to me. You listen to those comments and you think about Erica Kirk saying, I forgive you, and just the contrast and in.
Juan Williams
The way that, like, Erica Kirk was in the middle of the worst grieving that anybody could ever possibly go through. I think I was one of the people who said that with Charlie Kirk. I'm a creature of cable news. So I mostly saw his interviews on cable news. And it wasn't until I started seeing more of the videos where he did the one on ones with the college students that I was very impressed. And then I heard lots of other people saying the same thing, people who are older, right? Like my age saying, wow, okay, look at this is a guy who was willing to go out there and he prepared, he was ready to debate. And you could disagree with lots of things that he said.
Harold Ford Jr.
Hate.
Juan Williams
I don't see it. I think that they look for it. And I think that, like, what Coates was saying is exactly what Media Matter says. There's a through line here. And the through line is something that you can always trace back to this. And what I hope for Erica Kirk and her family and all of those from Turning Point that loved Charlie and was a part of his life is that they can channel this in a way that puts it aside, lets them grieve purely for their friend. And the person that they loved and that these arguments, these fights, they're not going to end. And that was one of the things that was said at the funeral that Jesse got to go to, which was that the mission of Turning Point will continue. And I think that might have them a little worried.
Kayleigh McEnany
Yeah. Tenisi Coates. He seems like a lovely person. Greg.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah. Who would you rather be? You know, Charlie Kirk accused of racism or Tennessee Coates accused of rape? See, I would rather be Coats because at least I'm alive to defend myself, unlike Kirk. And I'm in no way saying there's evidence of a rape allegation against Coats. But with Coats reasoning, you don't need evidence. Right. He didn't offer any evidence there about Kirk being a hate monger. He just, as you said, was pulled it from the same pool of lies. Probably a Media Matters list of things that if you just go by one by one, you can simply debunk by placing in the context or finding out that he was actually quoting a black conservative. It's funny. If Coats were to die suddenly, none of us would jump on him because you know what? We're not Coats. His problem is irrelevance. While Kirk's death has amplified his life into some kind of global icon, it reduces race hucksters to specs on a sideline. It's funny to hear Coates pronounce ask as axe, realizing in his heart that Kirk is way more brave and more street than he is. You know, Coates, he went to college. You know, Kirk didn't go to college. He enters fractious public debates with people he's not even sure might be nice to him. What does Coates do? He hangs around white elites, mostly women who. Who Virtue Signal, by buying his book and pretending to read it. Times did this long dissection of Kirk's debates, and they had, like, experts analyze it. It was really interesting and long and boring. All of their conclusions came down to one gripe. This dropout made elites look stupid, and they can't handle that. It embarrasses people like Coats, which is why they had to call Kirk a hate monger. In fact, they hate themselves because Kirk was able to expose their weaknesses, their laziness, their pettiness, and they just, in order to rationalize that, they have to call Kirk a hate monger. They hate themselves.
Kayleigh McEnany
You know, I want to play 20 seconds of Charlie Kirk's hate mongering Herald. Let's listen.
Greg Gutfeld
We need to point people to God and eventually to Jesus Christ. And that is the Solution is that people need to humble themselves before the Lord. They need to go back to church, they need to get married before they have sex. They need to stop engaging in debauchery and limitless amounts of drinking and the sins of the flesh and understand that there's a God who loves them, that wants them to live a certain way.
Kayleigh McEnany
That was his message, Harold.
Harold Ford Jr.
Well, that was a lot of his message. That was one of the reasons. One of the things that he and I share is our love for our Savior Jesus Christ. Now, I actually think Ezra Klein pushed back a little bit on Coates when he asked the question. So why are you losing? Or why are we losing is what he asked. Because he and Mr. Coats are probably from the same political sit in the same political camp. Two, I wish Charlie was alive for a lot of reasons and one of the reasons is I'd love to see him debate Mr. Coates. I don't agree with his characterization there of Charlie. I've gone back and watched a lot of Charlie's stuff over the last few weeks. I probably would not have done it, Kaylee, but for the tragedy and the fatality that we all had, unfortunately had a chance to witness. And I have to tell you, 18, 19 year old Charlie is different than 31 year old Charlie. He had the experience and benefit of life, of life experiences, of learning more, of meeting more people, seeing more things and having a life that was very different from when he was a late teenager. I think people who want to be critical of him have every right. That's called free speech. And they should also know that people may push back and say you should understand how he grew and how he matured, how his thoughts matured or how they changed or evolved. I still don't agree with everything Charlie stood for or the things his political views. I agree with what he stood for in his heart in terms of his acceptance of Christ. But I think people who have these criticisms of him should just be careful. Not that you shouldn't disagree with him, but the man is dead. He died and was killed because he was expressing his views. If we believe firmly that debate ought to be civil and ought to be free, even hearing of views that you may not agree with, then you can't celebrate or for that matter even look like you're celebrating his death or assassination. Harold in where I started, I wish that Mr. Coats could have debated Charlie Kirk. I know that.
Greg Gutfeld
Could I ask you a black question, a question about black people?
Harold Ford Jr.
I mean, you can ask me about white people, black people, my kids who.
Greg Gutfeld
May ask versus Axe. What are your thoughts?
Juan Williams
Jesse, you ought to hear my friends.
Harold Ford Jr.
And some of my friends in Florida and Tennessee how that turned who look like you.
Jesse Waters
Well, I'm going to say something that you say about people, which is the biggest insult, and that is I've never heard of Mr. Coats and I had to look him up. And the man is dangerous. His father was a Black Panther. He's a self described radical feminist atheist. His beat is white supremacy and he's advocated for reparations. So this guy is a dangerous man. He wants my money, he wants scalps. He's an unapologetic revolutionary, and I guess it's Marxist or white guilt. These people give him these awards and they give him these prestigious jobs and he tears everything he sees apart. And Greg's right. Charlie Kirk, this man could not hold a candle to him. And Charlie was compassionate, he was devout, he was charitable. And this guy says about Charlie Kirk, he's a hate monger. Charlie Kirk was about as mainstream a Republican as you'll find. He's like every one of us at this table. Save Harold.
Greg Gutfeld
Too liberal for me.
Jesse Waters
Right. So if you're gonna say this guy is a hate monger, then he thinks everyone is a hate monger. And he was not David Duke. They have said nicer things about Robert Byrd, who was in the Klan after he died, than they've said about Charlie Kirk after he passed away and he died for freedom of speech. And this is something this guy has made a living out of. So he should be grateful that someone is sacrificing their life for a right which she holds so dear and has prospered so much from.
Harold Ford Jr.
Yeah, if we do get reparations, I'll make sure you get your point. 1%.
Jesse Waters
That's all I ask. Fairness, all you ask.
Kayleigh McEnany
I didn't know.
Juan Williams
Make sure you get your money.
Kayleigh McEnany
I'll ask either. By the way, I misgendered him, so thanks for that explainer. All right, up next, a grieving father slams lax policies on crime after his daughter is brutally murdered.
Jesse Waters
I have a black question.
Greg Gutfeld
Baby, I'm a rolling stone maybe you can miss me when I'm gone and.
Donald Trump
I don't know if you.
Harold Ford Jr.
Things are a little different here.

Juan Williams
House lawmakers scolded by a grieving father during a hearing. Focus on victims of violent crime and repeat offenders. Logan Federico was only 22 years old when she was fatally shot by a man with a rap sheet that's a mile long. It was a home invasion that he. That he perpetrated on her and her father. Steve Federico calling for action in his testimony highlighting how lax criminal reforms and an apparent crucial clerical error by law enforcement kept Logan, suspected career criminal killer, out on the streets.
Harold Ford Jr.
Bang.
Greg Gutfeld
Dead, gone.
Harold Ford Jr.
Why? Because Alexander Devonte Dickey, who was arrested.
Greg Gutfeld
39 times, 25 felonies, was on the street.
Harold Ford Jr.
You need to fight for the rest of our children, the rest of the innocents, and stop protecting the people that keep taking them from us.
Juan Williams
This morning, Bill Hammer had a chance to talk to him, Jesse, in an interview. And he's such a. He's a grieving father. And we are so sorry for what happened, but he certainly got their attention.
Jesse Waters
Yeah, he got everyone's attention. And this guy should get the death penalty. It's not on the line yet, but it should be. So this perp, Dickie, was from age 15 to 30, getting arrested two to three times a year for the last 15 years. And so she's in college in Los Angeles. She flies to her friend's house. She spends the night. He breaks into the house next to her, steals car keys, cash, then just breaks into her house while she's sleeping, Randomly executes her, steals her credit cards, goes on a spending spree. Manhunt. They finally catch this guy, but he never should have been out because this judge, Judge Bentley Price, he sees him in court, Guy has all these burglary charges. This judge Price treats him like a first time offender, gives him no prison, and then this guy leaves. Now you think, why is this happening in South Carolina? This is like a red state, right? The South Carolina legislature elects judges. And you know who makes up most of the legislature? Defense attorneys. This is a part time job. They're just defense attorneys and they're real jobs. So defense attorneys elect judges. So when they go in front of the judges with their clients, they get favorable rulings. That's how the whole system works down there. And that's why it's so corrupt.
Juan Williams
One of the things also that he said to Bill this morning, Harold, is that the two counties where this happened that they didn't share, they don't share information. He said what he's been told is that they don't talk to each other at all. So it's hard to figure out what to do with Somebody if you think it's a first time offense.
Harold Ford Jr.
It breaks my heart to hear any father, any parent agree the death of their child. I can't even begin to try to understand this man's pain. And I can only listen to them. And not only listen to them, but figure out how we act. We talked around this table for a long time about these issues. I think two or three things that we're uncovering, things. Judges should never be an elected office, should never be an office that people are elected to for the reasons that you mentioned. And I think you can look at even other sides of it and point to why money and other things should not be influencing how people view the law. Sometimes judges may do things yesterday that you are more in favor of or I'm in favor of one thing, we both know we're not in favor of this. Two, I talk about a national crime bill because if we want to ensure that cities and states and localities in the same state, then are sharing this stuff, can you imagine President Trump, all the money we could say, if you don't end cashless bill, if you don't hire more cops, if you don't hire more prosecutors, if you don't hire more judges, not elect more judges, but hire more judges, then you won't get this pot of money. If you don't ensure that, you're going to build more jails, which is what the mayor of Washington D.C. said. We need a national crime bill to do this. My heart goes out to Mr. Federico and his family. And the one thing you can do when you face tragedy, public policymakers and elected officials is to try to ensure that nothing like this can happen again and people in North Carolina should get to work.
Juan Williams
Kaylee, one of the things that the New York Times did a recent poll and that about the presidential race in Trump, and they found that things weren't really that different from February to now, like there hadn't been that much change. But where President Trump is strongest is on crime.
Kayleigh McEnany
Yeah, because he's going into some of these cities. I think he should lead an effort to remove judges. There are mechanisms usually within a state to remove judges who are derelict and don't do their job. And these judges need to be removed. 39 times, 39 opportunities to stop this guy, 25 felonies. The father said he could have had 140 years in prison. Instead he got 600 days. And that girl Logan Federico had just found out she wanted to be a teacher. She had her whole life ahead of her. And instead she loses her Life on her knees begging for her hero. Her father is what her father Steven said Irina Zaruska 14 times was her killer's arrest. 14 times to stop him. And instead the judge let him out on a notice to reappear, a promise to reappear. Okay, this needs to end. I'm glad you named the judge, Jesse. We should know their names. They should be removed from office. If you don't carry out justice and you miscarry justice and 22 year old and 23 year old girls lose their life, you should be off the bench.
Juan Williams
Greg Uphill, final word.
Greg Gutfeld
It's been said politics is downstream from culture. And the fringe left has always romanticized violence and the violent criminal as the rebel. The problem is that thinking has seeped into the groundwater and the Democratic Party has become incapable of of condemning violence unless it's against a preferential group. Until they find out that suspect is from the same group, then they ignore it altogether. The laws that allow violent thugs to live free among us were championed by left wing judges, left wing activists and sympathetic left wing press like the free press that you see in every city. These ideas though, did come from left wing academia and they exploited the population's fear of being labeled racist if you resisted their ideologies. So we kind of adopted this suicidal empathy, they would call us racist. This has to. I think it's done. I think we've realized if they're gonna call us racist anyway, I don't care. It's like I'm against murder. Call me racist. I think we need to take our country back from these leftist maniacs and give that guy the death penalty. But there needs to be a punishment for that judge.
Jesse Waters
Yeah, the judge is already off the bench cuz he's so corrupt he's already gone.
Juan Williams
All right, up next, even Rosie o' Donnell's therapist is sick of her tds.
Greg Gutfeld
Today's kids are glued. This is Jimmy Phela inviting you to join me for Fox Across America where we'll discuss every single one of the Democrats dumb ideas. Just kidding. It's only a three hour show. Listen live at noon Eastern or get the podcast@foxacrossamerica.com.
Harold Ford Jr.
Rosie O' Donnell doesn't like President Trump, but even her own therapist thinks that hatred of President Trump is a bit much. Watch this.
Greg Gutfeld
What he's done yet hasn't even hit us yet. And if he's not stopped now, we.
Jesse Waters
Have lost our country.
Juan Williams
And I don't know, Nicole, how it.
Jesse Waters
Is that some people cannot see it.
Juan Williams
My therapist said, why are you so upset?
Jesse Waters
And I said to her, why are you not.
Harold Ford Jr.
Exclamation point, sir. I figure you may have a reaction, if not a strong reaction to this.
Greg Gutfeld
I've been sitting here wondering, what would you rather be Rosie's therapist or Don Lemon's proctologist?
Juan Williams
I gotta think about that.
Greg Gutfeld
I'm gonna think about that for the rest of the show. I love the fact that the title of this podcast is the Best People. Is that great? That's why they are screwed. They are stuck in the superiority complex, and their ego is so precious that it's now vulnerable to deflation. And it makes these two more brittle, more miserable, more defensive, because they know the break is coming, the psychological break is coming. The filter that you use is. See, the world has been shown to fail you. You know, your filter doesn't work in life if the things that you predict don't come true, because then that's telling you, my God, what am I relying on? They're realizing that everything that they predicted, whether it is wins that don't come true or existential crisis that don't come true. They're stuck with this thing, and they're going, what if it's me? She said, what if it's me? And Nicole goes, what if it's mean? It's like it is you. And that's the step. You can come. Come towards us, but stay in Ireland.
Harold Ford Jr.
You can disagree with someone, but this. Is this going overboard? Has it gone overboard?
Jesse Waters
And I disagree with that, Harold. So the therapist is not going to cure her tds. She's not even trying to cure the TDS because she needs it for relevance. If you all of a sudden make her normal and she doesn't think about Donald Trump or doesn't talk about Donald Trump, she's not going on podcasts, she's not moving to Ireland, and she's totally out of the picture now with someone like Rosie, who defines herself as a celebrity, as someone that has to be out there and has to be bashing Trump. You can't take that away from her. Then she just sits around and does nothing and reads. What kind of life is that?
Harold Ford Jr.
Dp, your thoughts on this?
Juan Williams
Well, first of all, I think it's a good advertisement for her therapist, who basically is saying what they try to. Therapist's job is to ask you questions that are difficult for you to answer. She's like, basically saying, you've got a problem. The other thing is, I almost feel like it's abuse that all these interviews keep happening for her. She is clearly Unwell. But what's the point of moving to Ireland if all you're gonna do is be on American media.
Harold Ford Jr.
Yeah.
Greg Gutfeld
And talk about the thing that drove you to ire.
Juan Williams
Yeah, that's the point.
Kayleigh McEnany
To that exact point. So when she moved to Ireland, she said, quote, protect your sanity is all I can say. Protect your sanity as much as you can and try not to swim in the chaos you're on there, like, apparently crying. And then you join Jim Acosta's resistance town hall. Like, well done protecting your sanity. Rosie o', Donnell, like self admitted failure.
Harold Ford Jr.
I don't agree with her, but she has the right to say it. The fastest is up next. You're so I said upside down. You turn me. Are they?
Dana Perino
This week on the Fox True Crime podcast, I'm joined by retired FBI special agent Stacey Perkins as she discusses the bureau's innocent images initiative and the many child predators she has helped to bring down.

Welcome back. You shouldn't be funny at work. Experts who study humor in the workplace, Dana, say it might backfire.
Harold Ford Jr.
Quote.
Greg Gutfeld
In an office, the razor thin line between hilarity and upset becomes even harder to walk. And what makes one colleague laugh may cross a line for someone else. Danny, you run into this often. You used to pull a lot of pranks on Hannity and then you guys ended up in HR because he had filed a complaint against you.
Juan Williams
Did you see my file?
Greg Gutfeld
How did you do that on his desk?
Juan Williams
It was a great skill. Great skill.
Greg Gutfeld
But this isn't a place for entertainment.
Juan Williams
Well, here's the thing. If you can't have a sense of humor at work, you are gonna be a big bummer. And also, if this would certainly just not apply on the 21st floor. Yeah, you gotta have some fun.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah. That's why we put in that stripper pole. But Harold, one of the things that made the Office so funny, the TV show, is that Steven Carroll's character thought he was funny, Right? So he was always doing something that was considered racist or sexist, but he thought it was a joke. So he was kind of like basically showing you what not to do. Do you agree or not agree or do you. Can you see both sides and you agree with me a little bit?
Harold Ford Jr.
I think we've gotten to a point where people don't give people the benefit of the doubt enough. When you hear a joke that is unstable, distasteful, or you don't like that some find funny, you don't. You just walk in the purse and say, if you don't like it, you don't like it. But I think I'm different. I laugh at everything and then I expect people to laugh when I say funny things about them. You've taught me that over the years.
Greg Gutfeld
Thank you.
Harold Ford Jr.
It served me well.
Greg Gutfeld
Kaylee, what are your thoughts about this? You often have a disgusting sense of humor.
Kayleigh McEnany
I know. Absolutely disgusting. And I'm constantly offended by Brian Kilmate and Larry Kudlow and you, Greg Gutfeld. So keep it up, men.
Greg Gutfeld
It is funny, though. What's called you, Jason, Jesse. Yeah, that people don't. Our office is just like the way people imagine it. It's like a high school. We all work together.
Jesse Waters
Greg pretended my office was the court at the WNBA and just started throwing green things into my office. It was disgusting. But it's like, you're okay because you're like a comedian, whatever. And so you're like constantly, like, being funny and you're like the jokey guy, you know, you're like the clown and like you get away with it. I'm not a comedian, but sometimes I say funny stuff and sometimes it's not funny. And that's where the problem is.
Greg Gutfeld
It is. It is. I will sit here and I go, I know he's joking, but there's going to be some little left winger that goes, he said bomb. And then he's just like, right, let's go to commercial.
Harold Ford Jr.
If people could only see what we'd say during commercial break.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah.
Kayleigh McEnany
Oh, it's bad.
Juan Williams
They can't, or else we wouldn't have a show.
Greg Gutfeld
Exactly. One more thing. Up next.

Harold Ford Jr.
For One More thing, Greg.
Greg Gutfeld
All right, tonight at 10 o', clock, we got Jamie Lissow, Andrew Gruel, Cat Timp and Tyrus. Let's do Greg's Invincible Squirrel News, hosted by Brooke Hume. All right, this is in Chickpea Master Channel. True ships were driving down the road. Oh, look at this little squirrel. That's a delightful little squirrel there. The coral is a gray squirrel, not a flying. Not a flying squirrel. But don't worry, the squirrel was able to get out just like my delightful Juan Williams does in a tough debate. Just kidding, Juan. And then the car was able to go on. Interesting fact, Harold, that the word axe was learned by blacks. Learned it from white people who were immigrating from the British Isles.
Harold Ford Jr.
So we learned that from y'.
Kayleigh McEnany
All.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes, we take credit for acts.
Jesse Waters
You probably got y' all from us, too. Yeah, Dana.
Kayleigh McEnany
Okay, real quick.
Juan Williams
Percy, you know he likes to hide those acorns in his mouth. Here's a picture of him. See that? How many nuts?
Kayleigh McEnany
Guesses.
Greg Gutfeld
Four, seven, six, eight, five.
Jesse Waters
God, I never win.
Juan Williams
Not 50.
Jesse Waters
Wow. Not 50.
Juan Williams
Thanks.
Jesse Waters
That's a lot of nuts, Dana. Tonight, Jesse Waters primetime. I have a newsmaker. It's John Thune, Julie Banderas. Senator Ted Cruz will be making news.
Kayleigh McEnany
I'll be watching.
Greg Gutfeld
You better watch.
Juan Williams
I will definitely watch.
Kayleigh McEnany
I watch the show every night, Harold.
Harold Ford Jr.
When Cal Raleigh hit his 16th and 59th home run, this guy Glenn caught the ball and gave it to this kid. So Cal Riley had the guy that gave the ball to the kid out to say thank you. Gave him a signed bats and the kid gave the father, gave it to his sons and go Yankees.
Greg Gutfeld
I don't get that story at all.
Jesse Waters
The guy like the home run.
Harold Ford Jr.
We got that from you guys, too.
Kayleigh McEnany
I would just say. News from Florida. Florida Hospital did a surprise wedding for a man named James who had stage four colon cancer. Go Florida. Not a Florida man there. A good Florida man.
Jesse Waters
In this case, a good Florida man.

This episode of The Five focuses on recent speeches made by former President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to military leadership at Quantico, Virginia. The panel discusses their rejection of "woke" policies in the military, the broader backlash against "wokeness" in American institutions, attacks on the legacy of the late Charlie Kirk, the consequences of progressive crime policies, and cultural conflicts underpinning current American politics.
Throughout, the Five’s signature mix of irreverent banter and pointed debate blends serious policy critique with moments of humor and cultural commentary.
