Five.
Emily Campagno
Hello everyone, I'm Emily Campagno along with Kennedy, Harold Ford Jr. Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld. It's five o' clock in New York City and this is the five.
Kennedy
Trigger for the indirect with act of Minnesota. What are you waiting for?
Greg Gutfeld
I don't think there's any reason right now to use it, but if I needed it, I use it. It's very powerful.
Emily Campagno
President Trump is weighing if he should send in the military to stop the chaos in Minneapolis. Violent left wing anarchists were throwing snowballs, chunks of ice and fireworks at agents last night outside a federal facility which has become their nightly hangout. Now that comes as Dems pour more gasoline on the unrest. Democratic lawmakers Ilhan Omar and Pramila Jayapal hosting an anti ICE congressional field hearing in St. Paul, dramatically titled Kidnapped and Trump's deadly assault on Minnesota and within minutes it turned into a full blown identity politics whack. A mole.
Kennedy
If ICE agents want to point out that the woman who has killed Renee Good and her partner Becca Goode are lesbians to ice. ICE say this state elects lesbians to the state House, the state Senate and to Congress. As a gay woman, I have not cried yet over Renee Goode because I know if I do, I'm not gonna stop. This is pure racism.
Emily Campagno
This looks like modern day slave patrols think they're trying to recruit for ICE right now. White supremacists.
Greg Gutfeld
The one place where we thought we.
Kennedy
Would never experience this is the US States.
Emily Campagno
It's like how to make an American Quilt Gone sideways. And members of the media are following the Democrats lead by smearing ICE agents as of course White supremacists.
Greg Gutfeld
Do you think the Department of Homeland.
Jesse Watters
Security is explicitly attempting to recruit extremists with far right ideologies or white supremacists.
Greg Gutfeld
Nazis and the like into the dhs?
Harold Ford Jr.
Well, we don't know for sure, but it certainly looks like it. Chris. Recruiting them using Nazi white supremacist propaganda, hinting to that. And then people see that. People who don't recognize it as Nazi or white supremacist, maybe they just join anyway. But the ones who do recognize it's.
Greg Gutfeld
See that as a hint.
Kennedy
Brag.
Emily Campagno
You've been muttering this whole time, talk.
Greg Gutfeld
To us, have spoken like a secret Nazi. If they can call everybody again, they call everything Nazis. Trump was a Nazi. Charlie Kirk was a Nazi. Israel was reminiscent of Nazi Germany. Border agents were called Nazis because they whipped apparently a non existent Haitian. So the cause itself is arbitrary. They just like saying this stuff. How did the left, how was the left able to hijack the label of compassionate? Whenever you talk like whatever, it's always the. It's the right who are heartless. It's like they lead with their mind, but the left reads with his heart. But you see, the progressive costume of empathy is pure bs. They actually love to fight. They actually love to be vicious in public and incite angry confrontations. As long as it's dramatic, as long as it feeds their attention, and as long as it's incredibly stupid. And when you consider that they are rioting over the deportations of violent vicious criminals, think about the same people who said get the Jews out of Gaza, are shouting keep the killers here in Minneapolis. These are the same people. So when you, you gotta understand the hypocrisy. These are the same people who demand trigger warnings on TV shows and you must obey pronouns and they express outrage over dead naming somebody who's trans people. They demand extreme consideration of their feelings. Yet they will get in your face and they will call you a Nazi and try to get you to swing at them. There's something wrong there. And here's something that no one's brought up. So why don't we treat the situation the way the mayor and the governor wants it to, which is a conflict between two opposing forces. You know, marchers and counter marchers, proud boys versus Antifa Hamas supporters versus Jewish students. Why don't you just treat it like that then? What would you do? You would have the police there in between maintaining order and distance. That's what you do with marchers and counter marchers. Is that what you see here? No, it's not there. It makes you kind of think that the leaders, the political leaders want this volatile, concentrated, confrontational agitators with no police at all. They don't want this thing to go to improve. They want it to go bad or they would do what they do with every one of these demonstrations, which is have the police there and orchestrate peace and suppress conflict. Now Waltz and Fry are aiding and abetting this.
Emily Campagno
Yeah. And Kennedy, their language, which I'm still shocked by, that they keep using it about ICE agents and they use phrases like, you know, unlawful conduct, disgusting behavior. They say, all I want to do is help protect people, defend people. And right as you think, they're talking about the recidivist sodomists, the recidivist homicidal maniacs, the child rapists, and even more. No, no, no. They're talking about protecting them from lawfully enforced, enforced federal agents. It is so backwards there. And it's that that is fomenting to radicalize these people that we're seeing out there in 20 degree weather that are just waiting for an ICE agent to touch them, just waiting to provoke them.
Kennedy
Yes. And you know, when we looked at some of the Hyster, the congresswoman in the first part of the show, you realize when you're using polemics and descriptors like that, you've lost the argument. Like when you are saying that they're slave patrols and that they're white supremacists. And you know, even Jamie Raskin going on Ms. Now and you know, saying that ICE is actively maybe recruiting white supremacists, like they don't give any proof of that. They don't say they've talked to people who are white supremacists who took the job with ICE because, you know, they want to be part of slave patrols. It becomes such an absurd argument. It has so little meaning that something that is predicated upon so little meaning can never have actual change. And that's why you're seeing Democrats like Ruben Gallego from Arizona who's, you know, a total lib saying, stop saying abolish ice. We made the same mistake with defund the police. And what we're going to do is undermine our own argument and our own cause and we're just going to get more of what we're opposing. So maybe there's a better way of saying maybe we should streamline ice. Maybe we should have ICE be more accountable. And I don't think sending in the National Guard is the best thing to do right now. So in the last 50 years, there's been one president who sent in the National Guard who, you know, did it under the pretext of the Insurrection act, and that was George H.W.
Jesse Watters
Bush.
Kennedy
I was there. I was living in Hollywood during the 1992 riots, and it was scary as crap. It was terrifying to leave your house because you didn't know if any convenience store or grocery store or street corner was going to devolve into a violent, bloody, murderous riot, and people were losing their lives. We're not quite there in Minnesota, but if some of those hysterical people in Congress and in local government get their way, that's what they're pushing toward, and that is incredibly irresponsible. Now, as a fun historical side fact, Ulysses S. Grant actually invoked the Insurrection act six times to send the National Guard to the south during Reconstruction to fight the Klan. But now you have people like Rashida Tlaib saying that ICE is the Klan. So, my goodness, how times have changed.
Emily Campagno
And even in short term, Jesse, because I remember when President Obama sat in El Paso, Texas, praising National and Border Patrol and federal agents, condemning illegal immigrants for taxing the American population and the civic municipal system, our tax dollars and the like. So why, for that party that lionizes him, why can't they remember that he too, actually appreciated, for just a small second those brave men and women that try to enforce our national laws because.
Jesse Watters
They'Re dealing with Trump and whatever he does, they have to fight it. The reason they're in Minneapolis is because we caught the Somalis stealing $8 billion. This isn't a revenge tour. We weren't even going into Minneapolis. It just popped up on the radar because they ripped us off. So that's why we went in. And it wasn't just U.S. treasury went in, marshals went in. The FBI went in, and they went in to root out the fraud and root out these illegal aliens. And so they get there, and then they're violently repelled by the locals. Now, you're not allowed to do that. The federal government has jurisdiction over immigration law. That's what the Democrats always argue. So they're just executing the laws that Congress passed. And it's unacceptable for the locals to not protest. This isn't a protest. They're harassing them, impeding them, obstructing them, assaulting them. They're looting. They're throwing firebombs at them. So if this was an FBI agent, they'd never get away with it. If this was an IRS agent, imagine that the TSA was in Minneapolis and they were mad at the tsa. For patting people down too much. And there was violent attacks on TSA agents and they said, you have to get the TSA out of Minneapolis and then we'll stop beating the hell out of them. That's not what you do. This is not the United States. They're acting like Somalia in Minneapolis and they're trying to hold this country hostage with violence. And we're not gonna play this game. Donald Trump should go in hard. He should go in heavy by spreading out all of these ICE agents into different cities all at the same time. It's like thin soup. I would bring 5,000 ICE agents into one city at a time, cordon off whole blocks. You know where they live, you know where the neighborhoods are, and you go in heavy with backup. Cuz right now you have like a couple hundred guys dealing with protesters, dealing with Jose who's running away, and it's too much to handle and it looks bad. So in order to maintain law and order, you gotta triple the amount of boots on the ground and you have to maybe bring in the guard if it gets gnarly this weekend.
Emily Campagno
Harold, can I ask if you are you sort of are embarrassed by your former colleagues behavior when they demonize and align white supremacy with those men and women who have signed up in ICE to enforce laws, the laws that they themselves have legislated and create. This issue is such a polarizing sort of fantastical hysteria.
Harold Ford Jr.
You know, I'm embarrassed. It's good to be with everybody. I'm embarrassed. And really for the country. These images, to Jesse's point, everyone's pointing around the table, these images are being broadcast everywhere. The fact that we can't manage this in a civil, peaceful and forceful way is an amazing thing. I try not to get caught up in he said. Whatever one of them may have said or what someone might not have said, what I do know is that we need more leadership, we need less histrionics, we need less politics in all of this. And unfortunately, we seem to be getting a lot of that. Jesse, your point about sending in big numbers and being decisive, careful but decisive about trying to get to the bottom of this. I think what's, I think bedeviling a lot of this situation right now is that we live in a country that in so many ways has been defined by federalism, meaning the states and locals have lots of rights to enforce the law, enforce local laws and state laws. And when you want to enforce a federal law that the state won't enforce, then you send national forces there. You made the point that perhaps we're in Minneapolis, first off, because of some of the mismanagement of COVID funds that could be. Could border on criminality. This doesn't look like that's what they're doing. If they are doing that, then they're doing a really bad job of doing what you're saying. I don't disagree with you when you say we got to find where the worst of the worst are in our country. And if they're in Minneapolis or wherever the city they might be, you send in the most people to be able to help quell, if not stabilize the problem and root the problem out. I agree with. I am embarrassed when I hear anyone say defund the police or abolish ice. I think those are extreme, kind of panicked responses when you don't. When you're not really being thoughtful and not being careful in how you're thinking about a problem. But we need more leadership. And it's very easy for each side. I'm a Democrat from my side, to retreat and say that it's all Donald Trump's fault, it's all ISIS fault. It's very easy for those who may support President Trump and say, it's all Tim Walz's fault, it's all Fry's fault, it's all the locals fault. But at some point, someone has to be a leader. And unless we are just content and are going to accept seeing these kind of images, I'm not here to say either side is more wrong than not. But I do know this. If you're in a leadership position, you've got to be a leader. And you've got to ask people not to be violent. You've got to ask.
Greg Gutfeld
I think you're. I think. I'm sorry, but, but.
Harold Ford Jr.
So then what's the alternative?
Greg Gutfeld
Just keep doing this? The alternative to keep watching. This is to. Is to accept the fact that the issue itself is irrelevant to the people there. These are the same people that occupy campuses. These are the same people that wanted Trump dead. These are the same people that cheer about Charlie Kirk.
Harold Ford Jr.
I don't think it's that simple. No. Yet.
Greg Gutfeld
No, I definitely. I'm sorry, when you, when you look at the people here, they're exactly the same. And I think that, like, I don't think it's a both sides thing either. I have to tell you that we do have leadership. Your side is terrified of the activists. You guys need a leader to go in and act like a parent and shut them down and say, you need children, go to bed.
Harold Ford Jr.
We need leaders on Both sides to do that.
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, we got them. You ain't gonna find anybody stronger than Trump.
Harold Ford Jr.
But Trump is not saying what you're saying, Greg. I just don't think it's fair. You have an opinion on. I have an opinion on one thing we do know.
Greg Gutfeld
That's what. That's what we're here for, Harold. And I gotta tell you, no one.
Harold Ford Jr.
Is doing what we're saying.in this situation right now. I don't see. I don't know any American who agrees with the things we're having broadcast every single night on every single network about what's happening in Minnesota. No one feels good about it. You don't. I don't. I know you don't.
Greg Gutfeld
I don't feel that bad because it's not on me. I just want to say it's good.
Harold Ford Jr.
I don't feel bad about it.
Greg Gutfeld
It's good to have a table on my back.
Emily Campagno
All right, guys, just did it for that. Up next, Gavin Newsom thinks he can podcast his way to the White House, but Ben Shapiro just unplugged the mic. Five years ago, the US Brought leaders.
Kennedy
From Israel, Morocco, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain together to sign the Abraham Accords. I'm Megan Alexander and this is Middle East Tomorrow, go to partners.foxnews.com method.
Jesse Watters
The liberal Joe Rogan just hit a speed bump in his podcast president pipe dream. Gavin Newsom hosting Ben Shapiro on his podcast and got dog walked by Big Ben.
Greg Gutfeld
Your press office tweeted out that it.
Jesse Watters
Was state sponsored terrorism, which, I mean.
Greg Gutfeld
Governor, I do have to ask you about that.
Jesse Watters
That sort of thing makes our politics worse.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah.
Jesse Watters
And it does.
Greg Gutfeld
Our ICE officers obviously are not terrorists. Yeah.
Jesse Watters
A tragic situation is not state sponsored terrorism.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, I think that's fair.
Jesse Watters
So when AOC said this week that ICE should be abolished, you disagree?
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, I disagree.
Jesse Watters
We reached out to Newsom's office over why the anti ICE tweet is still up and they said this Fox News is trying to cancel. The governor very woke. Everyday Americans are experiencing state sponsored terror by our incompetent president. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Meanwhile, watch as Newsom tries to wiggle his way out of answering a question on trans. The fundamental question that lies at the.
Greg Gutfeld
Root of all of this is the.
Jesse Watters
Question that you're not wanting to answer, which is whether boys can become girls. Yeah, I just don't.
Harold Ford Jr.
Well, I think for the grace of God.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah.
Jesse Watters
I mean, I appreciate the sympathy.
Harold Ford Jr.
I always.
Jesse Watters
I also feel terrible for anybody who's suffering with any sort of, I mean, I think it's mental or physical, but generations for time immemorial, you know, God bless. I just, I, I don't know.
Greg Gutfeld
I just don't understand why, I don't.
Jesse Watters
Know why, why is it such a. I'm, I'm curious.
Greg Gutfeld
I, I understand the political potency of it. It's not politically potent, but it's just how. It's so few, we're talking about so few people. It's not about that, that are, that are struggling with, with, with, with, with gender identity issues. A lot of remarkable people, a lot of wildly successful people, and they've gone in their life, have credible lives. I just, I don't know. There's so much hate and bigotry, so much condemnation.
Jesse Watters
How was that, Greg?
Greg Gutfeld
I love it when they pull the why do you care?
Harold Ford Jr.
Card.
Greg Gutfeld
We don't care. You have compelled us to care by telling us that we have to think a certain way, we have to accept biology a certain way that is incorrect and fundamentally anti nature. Boys can't be girls, girls can't be boys. We care about that and you force it on us. The use of language tells you everything about the fears of the speaker. He has no issues calling conservatives names, mocking them, labeling them. We don't mind. We love it. It's funny. But when it comes to trans activism, rhetorically, he runs under a rock and pees down his skinny thighs. What does it tell you about him? Right? He's not stupid. He knows that we're nice. He knows that we're nonviolent. He knows that we're thick skinned and we don't care. We're not gonna kill him. But he knows that the trans activists are batshit crazy. He knows he has to watch himself. It reminds me of how comedians would rip on Christians, but not Muslims. You know, and it's actually a compliment to Christians because they knew that making fun of Bible Belters, they wouldn't get him killed. But if you made a joke about Allah, you know your gigs would get canceled and you might get stabbed. So Newsom's body language and choice of weasel words shows you that the trans lobby still has him by the nads, as they do with almost all Democrats. But they have to understand what we've known all along. It's a fake phantom. It's a humiliation fetish. You just tell them, I don't buy this crap, and then they walk away. It's a fetish cult of creepy men and we're not playing with it.
Jesse Watters
Emily is the podcast Working for Gavin, you know, he's got conservatives who come on, we put it on the air. Is he learning anything? Is he getting any traction?
Emily Campagno
I think he loves being in the spotlight. He loves having his content out there. It is clear he is not learning anything. And it's clear it's not helping him in a substantive sense. This is what I realized about him. I was subjected to him as mayor of San Francisco and I lived there for five years. And you know, unfortunately, as a Californian subjected to his rise through the ranks. And the reality is that from the beginning, he was sort of billed as this rising star in the next generation. You know, he's the good looking, charismatic. Their words, not mine. So he rode to office on an energy and on an aspirational front. And then what happened in 2004, in February, remember in Valentine's Day, he unconstitutionally subverted a California law against same sex marriage and ordered the clerk in San Francisco to issue same sex marriage. And it was applauded. And he was the progressive, you know, radical fight to the Supreme Court of California. And the Supreme Court of California ruled against him. So he was a champion of gay and lesbian marriage. It was amazing. You know, he put it to the system. Look at him. He was on the steps of City hall and it was this incredible moment. Now, later, of course, the Supreme Court ruled that laws like that were unconstitutional. So the issue is not really the marriage. But the point is that he became this liberal bastion back then, but the party shifted since then. So he is still considering himself with his label that he is riding the wave based on energy alone and charisma. And also that he's been this champion of progressive rights and causes. But the whole point is he can't, as you see, because he's only mealy mouthed and stuttering and stammering. He can't say clearly something like, actually no, biological boys should not play in girls sports and the like, because he still is like, no, no, no, I'm that progressive guy that I'm billed as. He is too much of a coward to state what feels and just thinks he can eke his way in. So, you know, we should have on the podcast the 1.5 million Californians that fled that state, myself included, to explain to everyone why, because of his policy failures, since he has none.
Jesse Watters
It's a lot of guests for a podcast. I have the time that could go a long time.
Kennedy
Kennedy, I would love to see him. Come on. Kennedy Saves the World, my award winning podcast. They're not formal awards, but I'll still take them so I can grill him about the victims of the wildfires and Pacific Palisades and Altadena because we're still displaced from our homes. You know, we all got together in one place for one day a year later to share stories about how we have been fighting this alliance between his office, the insurance commission, and the insurance companies like Geico home site Berkshire Hathaway, who have completely let us down. And the governor has let them. The mayor has codified this. And you have thousands and thousands of people who have been displaced who are in pain. And all he can do is waffle on his answer about whether or not boys can become girls, because it depends on who he's talking to about the issue. Sometimes he says as a girl, dad, it's unfair when boys are in girls sports. And other times he says in memoriam and God bless and thoughts and prayers and these nonsense, circular answers that really don't get pulled because they just bore us to death. And that's what he's doing because he doesn't really want to answer difficult, pointed questions from Californians who are in pain, who would love to flee because they don't have a home to go to and they can't afford to move anywhere else.
Jesse Watters
Harold, as a Democrat, you watch these podcasts.
Harold Ford Jr.
I don't actually. Maybe I should, but I don't have other things to do during the day. But I try to tell Democrats we talk about this all the time. The trans issue should not be talked about first and foremost when you're talking about running for political office and women have children, not men. We should establish that and then go forward with the fact that health costs are going up, that insurance costs are going up for small businesses all across the country, that people are having a hard time finding a home and being able to afford it. President Trump has said his tariffs worked. I don't believe they worked. Let's talk about that. That's what's going to not only resonate with voters in California, but resonate with voters across the country for looking at running for President Kennedy. You said so well about insurance and Jesse, I actually meant what I said last week. And you jumped on it. Rightly so.
Jesse Watters
President Trump.
Harold Ford Jr.
If I were Governor Newsom, I'd ask President Trump to come to California. He sent the National Guard on immigration. Come out and help us to get through all this morass around insurance companies not compensating people who lost their homes and their livelihoods. That's what I'd be asking the president to help me do. If Elizabeth Warren can work with the president on credit cards and housing, Governor Newsom might be able to work with him on insurance and trying to manage, ensure that we can manage fires better. So that's what I'd be doing on a podcast if I had one.
Jesse Watters
Okay, you have something bigger than a podcast. You have the five, Harold. Coming up next, President Trump finally gets the Nobel Peace Prize.
Kennedy
This is Ainsley Earhart. Thank you for joining me for the 52 episode podcast series, the Life of.
Jesse Watters
Jesus, A listening experience that will provide hope, comfort and understanding of the greatest story ever told. Listen and follow now@foxnewspodcasts.com or wherever you listen to podcasts.
Greg Gutfeld
Why would you want someone else's Nobel Prize? Well, she offered it to me. I thought it was very nice. She said, you know, you've ended eight wars and nobody deserves this prize more than in history than you do. And I thought it was a very.
Kennedy
Nice gesture, a lovely gesture. President Trump sounding off after finally getting his long desired Nobel Peace Prize, albeit maybe secondhand. We all love thrifting Venezuela. Maria Corinna Machado says she presented Trump her award to recognize his commitment to her country and says he deserved it. In spite of the Nobel Prize committee saying that you couldn't transfer your Nobel Prize to anyone, especially President Trump. You did today.
Emily Campagno
Why did you do that?
Greg Gutfeld
Because he deserves it.
Kennedy
And it was a very emotional moment. I decided to present.
Harold Ford Jr.
The Nobel Peace.
Kennedy
Prize medal on behalf of the people of Venezuela. But the Nobel party poopers are shutting down the peace offering, saying Machado can't share the prize. But you know what's better than a Nobel Peace Prize? How about President Trump getting an actual road named after him. That's right. It happened earlier today right outside Mar a Lago. So, Jesse, you remarked during the commercial break the smile that he had on his face.
Jesse Watters
I have never seen him smile like that. And he loves awards. I mean, more than me. And I actually require the hosts to present me with an award when I do a speaking engagement I have about. I'm not going to name the amount of awards I have, but 80% of them I didn't deserve. 80, 90% of them I didn't deserve. Yet I still display them proudly in my many offices and libraries. And people that don't know me and what a shyster I am think they actually deserve them. And that's what I want to project. I'm not saying this is the way Trump sees things, but if you go to all of his clubs, it's the same thing. Every Wall, every niche. Is that how you say is. Is how houses some sort of award.
Emily Campagno
Or.
Jesse Watters
Plaque, silver cup. And most of them he deserves.
Kennedy
Now, if he win one men's singles at the US Open, he actually is a good golfer.
Jesse Watters
Very good. Now, when he does get the second one, he'll get another one.
Greg Gutfeld
So at some point, yeah, he needs bookends.
Jesse Watters
He needs two. So do you give the one back if you get another Nobel? I think he keeps both. And no one else has ever won two Nobels. And really, I would do the same thing.
Kennedy
Should he have kept the award that he was given by the opposition leader in Venezuela?
Greg Gutfeld
Would you ever reject an adopted child? No, this is just an adopted child, this Nobel Prize. She didn't want it and he's taking it. And he's going to treat it like it was his own because that's what you do with adopted children. This is the only way right wingers will ever get an award. You know, I have the most successful late night show in history. I won't get an Emmy, right? That's okay. I'm used to it. Unless you steal one and send it to me, which I'd be grateful. But isn't it funny that if you're on the right, you have to work for everything and you get no recognition, but the libs don't have to work for anything. And literally it's a given.
Jesse Watters
Yeah.
Greg Gutfeld
Obama's Nobel Prize, Emmys galore to shows nobody watches because they create the awards, the award ceremonies. But there aren't any. Like, think about it. There aren't any awards ceremonies for firearms and defense, construction, farming. We don't have Best Farmer or Best Mining Executive or Best Supporting Trucker. These are, you know, speak for yourself. You can only see the categories only in the bedroom. Kennedy. But these awards are untethered to achievement and they're simply transferred from one liberal group to another. Emmys, Oscars, Pulitz, Pulitzers, Nobels. But we don't mind. We'll take the truth over trophies because we know we're helping the world.
Kennedy
I thought it was very, very smart on her behalf because she knows that if you appeal to that side of the president that loves awards, he's much more to endorse her as a future president of Venezuela.
Emily Campagno
Yes, says Jesse.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes.
Emily Campagno
That's why we have the Patriot Awards, by the way. No, I'm serious. We are.
Greg Gutfeld
No, no, you're right, you're right.
Emily Campagno
People who do real things, you're absolutely right. The thing of you guys, Norway melted down. The Norwegians are losing Their mind. Do you realize the comments that they have made about her making that gesture? Obviously we know it doesn't mean that he was awarded the Peace prize, but it was a gesture, an important one. And you know what? She can do whatever she wants with it. That's completely unheard of. Total lack of respect for the award. Meaningless, unbelievably embarrassing. Damaging the Oslo mayor saying this Norway potentially dangerous, that it could easily legitimize an anti peace prize development. But all of these people were dead quiet when Obama got it aspirationally when the leader of Myanmar got it, before a complete genocide happened, including recently Ethiopia, before a total civil war ravaged hundreds of thousands of individuals. Those awards were meaningless and yet that had no impact on those people that are sitting pretty behind their keyboards of mainstream media. And in Norway, it is only this, this gesture that she did with something that she want with something that she won that they have a problem with. And it's a ceremonial medal handoff. That's the thing. So if we're talking scandal, to me it's not about who handed over a medal. It's how easily symbolism gets rewarded while real human consequences apparently fall flat on all of their ears.
Kennedy
Emily makes such a forceful argument that I may give back my Nobel Prize for physics.
Harold Ford Jr.
He should not have taken Ms. Mikado's award. I think this is.
Jesse Watters
She insisted, Harold.
Harold Ford Jr.
She insisted for the reason never say.
Greg Gutfeld
No to a chance to give to.
Emily Campagno
Us in the mouth.
Kennedy
He had it framed the same way.
Harold Ford Jr.
You bring ice cream to children when you want them to be on your side. You have to bring prizes to the President. I just think again, let me just.
Jesse Watters
Joe Biden's prize.
Harold Ford Jr.
20 seconds here. Let me just say the president. I don't normally look at polls and I think polls are irrelevant until you get three months out from an election. But they are instructive in ways. A majority of the country, a majority of the country believes that the President's not focusing on their priorities. Venezuela, Minnesota, Iran and Greenland, as important as they are, are not what's on voters minds. And for this woman who won an election they stole from her, President Biden agreed with that. President Trump agreed with that twice. For her to fear for her life and to have to leave the country. She won the Nobel Peace Prize. We did the right thing taking Maduro out and for her to have to come to the White House, didn't get a picture with the President, didn't get a press conference with the President, didn't get anything official yet she gave him her Nobel Peace Prize. Which she put her life on the line. I'm a fan of the president, but I just think this is wrong. The president should give her her Nobel peace prize back and win his on his own.
Emily Campagno
What about the angel families that the president is working on behalf of to get those ICE agents out? I mean, I think when you say Minnesota and things like that, the president's working every day for the values of American people and voters. It's just not the sexy issues.
Greg Gutfeld

Welcome back. A New Jersey condo complex is busting lazy dog owners by DNA testing abandoned poop. The dog's genetic profile is kept on file. Sample doo doo gets sent to a lab in Tennessee, which helps shame owners, leading to fines. You laughed about this and what happened? I mean, I'm torn on this a little because I love my dogs. What's your thinking on this?
Emily Campagno
I love it. DNA test it and then pack it up and deposit it on their front door on the doorstep. I love it. I hate people that don't clean up after their dog. In fact, just. Yes. Anyway, yep. Next person does.
Greg Gutfeld
I think we should do this. Fox men's room. There's someone in there who's treating the stall like a pen at the rodeo. I don't like it, but this seems like a lot of effort when you can just install a camera on the street and it's so easy to get around it. When they ask for your dog's actual poop, give them yours. You know, let's. Then if you, you know, they have to have it on record, right? So you just give them your dog. You tell them it's your dog's poop, but it's your poop. And then your dog could poop anywhere because it'll never match your poop. Huh.
Harold Ford Jr.
The ingenious suggestion by GG here. What are your thoughts on it?
Kennedy
I know he's A dog owner. I worry he's done this. It's maddening. Whenever I see someone on the street, like, this is what turns me into a Karen. I don't ask to see the manager, but if someone doesn't pick up after the dog, I'm like, hey, hey. Need a poo bag? I've got a couple. And I pull them out of my bra and I give them to them. But the most important part of being a pet owner is being responsible for your pets.
Harold Ford Jr.
This kind of investigation here in New Jersey, are you in favor of it or not?
Jesse Watters
I don't even know what the segment's about, Harold. But we used to have a dog in the city, and I used to walk this dog, and I had to take the little baggie, and you pick up the poop. And then people would come up to me and, like, want photos and shake my hand. And it was, like, horrible. So we moved out to the countryside. And now someone picks it up for me and thank God you're walking around with feces in your hand, Greg. You're guilty of it. You're guilty of it. It is disgusting.
Greg Gutfeld
There's something adorable about dog poop.
Jesse Watters
Okay, that sounds like a disgusting comment from a sick man.
Harold Ford Jr.
Another response? No.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah. Because I have a Frenchie. Because they're a little hard. They're little hard nuggets. And you just put the thing down, pick them up, and you toss them. It's kind of cute.
Emily Campagno
He's like, rabbit hole.
Greg Gutfeld
And I wipe his butt.
Jesse Watters
So that's the. We should be talking about that. Too bad we have to go. He wipes his dog's anus because you.
Emily Campagno
Have to clean the anal gland. That's actually the cleanest way ever.
Kennedy
Have their buttholes on the outside of their body. You have to, as a friend, fan mail.
Greg Gutfeld
What?
Jesse Watters
That's the wrong dog, Greg.
Harold Ford Jr.
On that educational note, fan Mail Friday is up next.
Greg Gutfeld
Fan mail Friday. Harold, I'm gonna go to you first. This is a deep question from Tara.
Harold Ford Jr.
Deep question.
Greg Gutfeld
Is there a mystery in history you'd like to see solved?
Harold Ford Jr.
So on a lighter note, I'd love to get some clarity around the Biggie Tupac thing. I do think.
Kennedy
Did you watch the Diddy documentary?
Harold Ford Jr.
But I still. I'd love to get quite a bit of clarification there. I'd love to get. I'd love to get more clarity.
Greg Gutfeld
Is he straight or gay? Is that what you mean?
Harold Ford Jr.
I'd like to get a little more clarity about that. And then on more seriousness, the guy that helped me understand this Stuff so much is Ken Burns, when he does the Civil War and the Revolutionary War. I learned so much about what happened, what didn't happen, and just all the figures there. So I think we should look at all of history as kind of a.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, Ken Burns has definitely diluted history with his left wing bias. I agree with you. I thought you were gonna go somewhere else. But, Jesse, what about you? Mystery in history.
Jesse Watters
You know what? I'm going with Greg. 2020 election, baby.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah.
Jesse Watters
I've been dreaming about this a lot recently, and it's not necessarily the machines.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes. Yeah, I had the same dream.
Jesse Watters
It's not the machines or the software.
Greg Gutfeld
It's.
Jesse Watters
It's the mail in ballots.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes.
Jesse Watters
Yeah. The lack of surveillance and chain of custody.
Greg Gutfeld
I had this dream that Maduro made a deal with Trump to tell us everything about the election. I had that dream. Sean Davis was in it.
Jesse Watters
He's a good guest.
Emily Campagno
Emily, because I have that true crime podcast. There's like a billion unsolved mysteries that I would love to see solved. But also, remember that colony where they all disappeared?
Greg Gutfeld
Adam's way? Or Adam's apple? Or Apple's Apple.
Emily Campagno
Remember that? The guy's name was Apple Roanoke, Something like that. Wouldn't that be like when an entire group of peoples disappear? Okay, don't we want to find out what happened?
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, you know, Kennedy, what about you? A mystery in history.
Kennedy
A Malaysian Airlines crash.
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, fantastic. You know what Don Lemon said?
Harold Ford Jr.
Black hole.
Greg Gutfeld
That's his answer for everything. But remember that. But remember that.
Kennedy
Yes.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, I'm gonna go.
Kennedy
It would actually not make any sense.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes.
Kennedy
Someone who maybe didn't even go to college.
Greg Gutfeld
Speaking of black hole, I would like to know, and it's just a historical question, was mathematics invented or discovered?
Kennedy
Discovered?
Greg Gutfeld
You think it's discovered? I think it's discovered, too. Yeah. But then that means there is. There is a God because it was created.
Jesse Watters
Are we doing Bible study right now?
Greg Gutfeld
Yes, we are Bible study.
Kennedy
I'll lead it.
Greg Gutfeld
We are.
Harold Ford Jr.
Harold, you had a good day today.
Greg Gutfeld
I did well. I brought the heat. Okay, one more thing's up next.
Emily Campagno
It's time now for one more thing. Jesse.
Jesse Watters
The bizarre cultural festivities continue. Let's go to India. You thought this was just in Spain. No, no, no. The Indians love it. It's called jalikattoo. And they try to dominate and tame the bulls and pluck away bundles of money or treats tied to their specially sharpened horns. It's the Hindu harvest season, baby. Let's go. Tonight, Jesse Waters, Primetime Melusion and the Minivan militia tonight at 8pm Greg.
Greg Gutfeld
All right, tonight. Great show. Kennedy. Who's that? Walter Kern, Sherrod Small, Sean Davis. That's tonight at 10. Let's do this. What the heck is that? All right. I normally don't get scared by things, but look at this. Look at that.
Emily Campagno
Oh, my God. The harpy eagle.
Greg Gutfeld
Yes, you're right.
Emily Campagno
That's my favorite. That is literally the one bird I want to see is the harpy eagle.
Greg Gutfeld
Why do you want to see that? It's frightening.
Emily Campagno
That's because I'm a bird, and that's like my. Like, that's my goal bird to see in the wild.
Greg Gutfeld
It's one of the most powerful eagles in the world. Yes. It's the national bird of Panama.
Emily Campagno
Panama Harold.

Legendary boxer and icon Muhammad Ali. Finally, on a forever stamp, it was unveiled his commemorative stamp in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. Featuring his photo, the stamp honors his legacy of courage, service, and inspiration. He's my favorite. He's the best, the greatest of all time.

The episode is confrontational, sarcastic, humorous, and at times exasperated with “the other side.” The hosts frequently use exaggeration, irony, and pop culture references. Political frustrations, calls for serious leadership, and vivid anecdotes pepper the discussion.
This episode of The Five tackled hot-button issues of law enforcement, partisanship, ‘cancel culture,’ and the optics of modern protest. President Trump’s rumored consideration of the Insurrection Act in Minnesota set the stage for deeper debates over rhetoric, leadership, and what counts as real progress or achievement in 2026 America. The show is a mix of political posturing, impassioned opinions, cultural commentary, and comedic asides, reflecting the unique chemistry and worldview of its five hosts.
