Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. ICE Shooting in Minneapolis: The New Video and Its Fallout

(00:33–15:16)

• Incident Overview:
  Sandra Smith introduces the just-released video filmed by the ICE agent who shot Renee Good. Renee was reportedly part of an anti-immigration vigilante group ("ICE Watch"). The video provides critical context, showing Renee’s wife taunting officers and activity moments before the shooting.

• Panel Reaction to the Video:

  • Jesse Watters:
    Argues the video’s perspective justifies the officer’s sense of threat:

    “Well, he felt like his life was in danger, and so it’s justified. The Democrats have been lying about this and this new video proves that.” (03:50)
    He accuses Democratic leaders and activists of intentionally creating high-risk confrontations, seeking to replicate the chaos of past events like George Floyd’s death.

  • Jessica Tarlov:
    Pushes back, highlighting inconsistent commands, the officer’s reaction, and post-shooting behavior:

    “She hears two conflating instructions. She hears, get out of the car and also get out of here... Officer Ross, as he is walking away, calls her an effing bitch.” (07:54)
    She cautions against premature labeling of protestors as domestic terrorists and notes Supreme Court precedent limits on absolute officer immunity.

  • Kennedy:
    Recognizes fault on both sides:

    “Whenever you have the exact same set of facts and people are pulling out completely opposite conclusions... the truth is somewhere in the middle.” (10:07)
    Notes that protestors and the officer carried their own baggage and that timing played a key role in the escalation. Also questions the justification for firing multiple shots.

  • Greg Gutfeld:
    Asserts the confusion is deliberate:

    “We are all falling for the game... That was the point. Nothing’s going to be clear when you create deliberate chaos.” (12:09)
    Argues activists use white female protestors for optics, and the goal is escalation and spectacle, not peaceful protest.

• Law Enforcement & Protest Rhetoric:

  • Discussion about the real intent behind anti-ICE protests and whether media and politicians on the left are fueling dangerous confrontations.
  • Reference to the increase in federal law enforcement presence in Minneapolis as protests grow.

Notable Quote:

“Screw the fake empathy about the dead mom from all these mayors and all these talking heads. If they had sincere empathy, they would ask... why are there so many liberal white women who... are risking their lives and breaking the law for strangers who are here illegally?” — Greg Gutfeld (13:23)

---

2. President Trump Meets Oil Executives; U.S. Energy Policy

(16:14–23:37)

• Trump’s Meeting:
  Trump holds an open, on-camera meeting with oil executives to discuss increasing domestic production and tapping Venezuelan resources. The panel jokes about Trump’s priorities (admiring the White House’s new ballroom during the meeting).

• Policy and Transparency:

  • Jessica Tarlov:
    Flags Trump’s plans to control oil revenues as unconstitutional, requiring Congressional oversight.

    “It’s another unconstitutional move that he might be in charge of this money. More state capitalism...” (18:23)

  • Sandra Smith:
    Highlights oil executives’ personal stories, the opportunity for Venezuelan oil, and recent gas price drops.
  • Greg Gutfeld:
    Mocks Democrats for opposing low energy prices—a narrative flip.

    “Only a Democrat would come out against cheap gas.” (21:51)

• Partisan Economic Arguments:
  Light-hearted back-and-forth on which party manages the economy better and what to do with Venezuelan oil.

Notable Quotes:

• “We have people now getting gasoline for $1.99… it used to be $3.5, $4, $5.” — Greg Gutfeld (16:56)
• “We need to create a program that delivers oil to Somalians in Minnesota.” — Greg Gutfeld (23:19, sarcastic riff)

---

3. Comedy, Trump, and Late-Night Television

(24:38–30:32)

• Conan O’Brien’s Advice to Comics:
  O’Brien is quoted warning that anger at Trump is harming comedians’ humor:

  “You’ve now put down your best weapon, which is being funny, and you’ve exchanged it for anger.” — Conan O’Brien quoted by Greg Gutfeld (25:05)

• Panel Reactions:

  • Greg Gutfeld:
    Criticizes late-night hosts (especially Jimmy Kimmel) for losing their comedic touch due to political activism.

    “They started seeking approval from people who don’t like comedy. It’s like opening a steakhouse for vegans.” (26:13)

  • Kennedy & Jessica Tarlov:
    Discusses Kimmel’s career shift, workplace pressures, and the industry’s polarization.

• Impact on Audience:
  Panel agrees that repetitive anti-Trump humor makes only his detractors angry and keeps them up at night.

---

4. Showerhead Regulations and Everyday Politics

(31:09–34:23)

• The ‘Shower Act’:
  In light of Trump’s complaints about low shower pressure affecting his hair, Republicans move to pass a bill raising showerhead pressure.

    • Greg Gutfeld:

      “I love strong showerheads, and I love the handheld one, if you catch my drift.” (32:22)

  • Critique of government regulations, especially in California, and the rationales behind such policies.

---

5. Lighthearted & Personal Banter

(34:30–39:24)

• Fan Mail Friday:
  Panel discusses odd personal expertise gained through their media careers, sports they dislike watching, tasks they wish people would pay them for, and more.

  • Example:
    • Kennedy: “I would love to organize people’s closets.” (37:42)
    • Jesse Watters: “I’m really good at washing a car.” (38:32)

[Sandra Smith]

Hello everyone. I'm Sandra Smith along with Kennedy, Jessica Tarlov, Jesse Waters, and Greg Gutfeld. It is five o' clock in New York City and this is the five. Brand new video emerging of the deadly ICE shooting in Minneapolis. It was taken by the cell phone of the ICE officer who fired the fatal shots at Renee Good, who DHS says weaponized her vehicle trying to run agents over with her car. It shows the moments right before what happened. A woman who is believed to be Renee's wife. She is on the street filming and taunting agents shortly before the incident and then trying to get into the car at the last second as it backs up and accelerates directly toward the officer.

[Jesse Waters]

Watch.

[Sandra Smith]

That's fine, dude.

[Kennedy]

I'm not mad at Boy, show your face. I'm not mad at that's okay. We don't change our plates every morning. Just so you know, it'll be the same plate when you come talk to us later.

[Jessica Tarlov]

That's fine.

[Kennedy]

U.S. citizen, former. You want to come at us? You want to come at us? I said go get yourself some lunch, big boy.

[Sandra Smith]

Go ahead.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Out of the car.

[Jesse Waters]

Get out of the car.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Get out of the car.

[Sandra Smith]

Who. We also have this video from the Daily Mail. It reportedly shows how Good's car was blocking the street four minutes before the shooting. DHS sources telling Fox that Renee Good was a member of an anti immigration vigilante group known as ICE Watch. And with protests breaking out in Minneapolis for a third day, multiple DHS sources tell Fox News that roughly 1,000 additional Border Patrol and CBP agents are headed to Minneapolis. That's on top of the already 2000 agents who are already there. Meanwhile, there's still no signs that Democrats or members of the media are slowing down on the heated rhetoric that demonizes ice.

[Kennedy]

Every single person in the United States.

[Sandra Smith]

Of America, US citizens, white, black, brown, whoever you are, you have to worry.

[Kennedy]

Now that an ICE agent is going to come and shoot at you and kill you.

[Jesse Waters]

Domestic terrorists are ice. This is, this is what's happening here in this country, which is just hard to believe.

[Kennedy]

But when the city burned after George Floyd, all of a sudden There were some charges. So for those who are on the media talking about, don't burn it down, don't set it on fire, let me tell you this, we need justice and we need it now.

[Sandra Smith]

Already a lot to dive into here. Jesse, to you first on this. J.D. vance, the Vice President sent out a response after he was able to view the new video taken from the police officer, the ICE officer himself, clearly showing his perspective. The Vice President said that this proves that the ICE agent's life was endangered before he fired that shot. Do you believe that is the case?

[Jesse Waters]

Well, he felt like his life was in danger and so it's justified. The Democrats have been lying about this and this new video proves that. You know, at first they said they were just a bunch of women doing a U turn in traffic or then they were legal observers. It doesn't look like that was the case. They were hardcore trained anti ICE agitators who were spending the entire morning obstructing a law enforcement operation, a dangerous law enforcement operation. And so if you watch the full video, you can see the partner egging this guy on, calling him fat. I mean, these are not innocent women and they don't deserve to be shot for insulting this ICE officer. But. But when you're driving a car right at them, these things can happen. It's a dangerous country since ICE has gone out and removed all of these illegal aliens that the Democrats let into the country. The Democrats have said there needs to be blood. They said people have to put their bodies on the line. The Democrats have said someone needs to get shot. This was well reported in the summer. Well, it's happened. And why do they want this to happen? Because they have no power in the country anymore. They're trying to create a Floyd situation where we back off like we did with blm. Remember after BLM, you had DEI take over, defund the police, and then everybody let everybody else run wild. And what did that get us? $2 billion in property damage, a DEI disaster and a lot of crime because police had to peel back. That's not what's going to happen. You look now, Trump and Nome, they are surging forces into these cities and they're not going to tolerate crazy women putting themselves in the middle of a dangerous law enforcement operation where these guys are trying to go into these homes and pull out gangsters and drug traffickers. This is not a peaceful protest. If it was a peaceful protest, I'd say fine, go out, hold a sign, blow a whistle. They're getting in these guys faces. They're punching them in the face. They're kicking them, they're screaming. They have no right to do that. That is actually an illegal act. And ICE has to get much tougher. ICE is too nice.

[Sandra Smith]

In the wake of this, Jessica, we're learning that there are efforts to train people to resist ice, to fight. Fight ice. The rhetoric doesn't seem to be toning down by those who are calling for the death of the DHS secretary Kristi Noem. To those you say what? Who don't seem to be ramping down this heated rhetoric that is leading to confrontations with ICE agents lawfully carrying out their duties.

[Jessica Tarlov]

You're talking about the heated rhetoric on the left. It's the administration that called this woman a domestic terrorist before they even knew what had happened before. We didn't have the last 15 new angles on this at all. Who said she's just a brainwashed liberal domestic terrorist. And by the way, remember, they use the same language in Chicago when the woman who was arrested, who was allegedly a domestic terrorist, who also allegedly drove her car into an ICE officer, then was released from prison. Because that's not what happened. I do not know how anyone could be watching that video. Sound up and say that the quote unquote left wing narrative was destroyed by this. So Officer Ross, who's holding the camera, it's not his body cam, right? He's recording it on his phone. So I don't know if he's making more footage for Kristi Noem to put in one of her new videos or whatever.

[Greg Gutfeld]

He's gathering evidence, walking around the corner.

[Jessica Tarlov]

But you know that this administration, that's what they do. Okay, great. So he is filling out.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I didn't know you were an expert in this. Keep going.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Well, I know how to read, so I've read about it.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Ha, ha, ha.

[Jessica Tarlov]

I know how to read, guys. And Greg knows that I know how. So he is circling the car. We weren't paying attention to it, I guess, but when he gets to her window, she says he has an exchange with her. And she says, I'm not mad at you, bro. Then she hears two conflating instructions. She hears, get out of the car and also get out of here. Now, there is a point where Officer Ross is standing right in front of her car, not to the side with when she actually took off, but right in front of her. And if you would think that this woman, who is a deranged woman in crisis, as Jesse said yesterday, desperate to kill ICE officers, she probably would have accelerated when she was looking him Dead in the eye. But no, she reverses her wheel turns. And everyone has seen that angle that her wheel is facing to the right with Officer Ross to the left when he shoots. And you can see that in the angle that the bullet comes in as well. So you have the first shot, and let's say you even wanted to say the first shot was justified. I don't think that it was. That woman should not be dead for sure. Then that he comes around and he shoots her twice more. You're supposed to evaluate what you're doing.

[Jesse Waters]

That's actually not standard programming.

[Jessica Tarlov]

And then Officer Ross, as he is walking away, calls her an effing bitch.

[Jesse Waters]

Because she hit him with the car.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Excuse me, Jesse. He killed that woman. He knows that. He shot her three times directly into her body. And then he. He curses her life like that. I don't. We can't say those words on tv, so I'm having trouble working around it. So spare me about the rhetoric. And also consider that JD Vance said yesterday the officer is protected by absolute immunity. That is not true. Officers are not allowed to do whatever they want, according to the Supreme Court. Donald Trump can do whatever he wants as president, but an officer is not.

[Sandra Smith]

All right, so, Kennedy, the only thing I would add is there was another narrative there, and that was the. The woman who we believe to be Renee's wife, yelling, drive, drive, drive. What was your takeaway after watching this?

[Kennedy]

I mean, it's such a confusing moment because it also seems like the wife is trying to get in the car, you know, the seconds before she was shot. And the wife is also screaming and crying that it was her fault, that she was the one who convinced Rene to go to the ICE standoff and intervene there. Never trust a narrative that is being forced on you before the body is cold. Because there are. Whenever you have the exact same set of facts and people are pulling out completely opposite conclusions. To me, that says the truth is somewhere in the middle. And I don't think either one of these people are without fault. I think Renee and her wife, they knew what they were doing. They knew that they were agitating the ICE officers. They were putting themselves in harm's way needlessly. I don't think that's the smartest way to protest. I think that if the firing officer and Rene had both had a second more, we would have had a totally different outcome and we wouldn't be talking about this today. But unfortunately, that's not what happened. And this is also an officer who had been dragged 50ft and had like 300 stitches last year over, you know, a car that was being used as a weapon. So he obviously has a different perception of the events based on what he had already been through. And, you know, if she is hearing a command to get out of the car, I'm sorry, that's when you stop and get out of the car. And, you know, it's like they're not screwing around. But I also don't believe that she should be dead. There was an FBI agent, you know, contrary to your point, who told the Daily Mail after one shot, he should have stopped. He shouldn't have gone. With second and third shot.

[Jesse Waters]

You discharged two shots, and then you assess.

[Kennedy]

I mean, I don't.

[Jesse Waters]

I don't like shots is usually the standard.

[Kennedy]

I don't like to second guess law enforcement. But looking at this, something about it just doesn't feel right. And I hate the chaotic political environment where we're in, where rationality is a casual.

[Sandra Smith]

There's also the video that shows the car blocking the street for a good four minutes.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Greg, we are all falling for the game. Could you. Everybody's going, this is so confusing. I don't like it. It's so chaotic. That was the point.

[UnitedHealth Group Announcer]

Point.

[Greg Gutfeld]

The whole point. Nothing's going to be clear when you create deliberate chaos. So we have to sit here. We are actually doing exactly what they want. None of it matters. What happens to that moment is not what we should be talking about, in my view. Again, let the investigations proceed. All this criminal analysis is a waste of your breath. You know, I use that term awfuls in humor. The affluent white female liberal. Well, that comedy turned to tragedy because it was egged on by people who only use these women as props. They put them out front because visually, it's a great statement when they get. When they get touched by a police officer. They. Did they. Did they do this in all. In all protests. You shouldn't be mad at ice. You should be outraged at those who foment these moments with the purpose of leading to chaos and death. All these videos contain white liberal women. Why isn't anybody talking about this? Screw the fake empathy about the dead mom from all these mayors and all these talking heads. If they had sincere empathy, they would ask that question. If you had sincere empathy, you would want to ask, why are there so many liberal white women who said who. Who, instead of spending time with their kids, are risking their lives and breaking the law? You know, for strangers who are here illegally? The real compassion comes from the people who've been pointing this out, who've been warning that this is going to happen. It doesn't matter to the people that clearly it's not going to change the mind of people on the left. You can show them any video they want. They're going to sit there and just meticulously do all this stuff. Oh, but did you see this? Oh, but you do that. Did you see that? Then you show them another video.

[Sandra Smith]

They do.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Don't waste your breath. They are selling you a lie. It's been around forever. This was all a setup. It may not have been her. Maybe they were hoping for a black woman. Probably it would have been better if it was. Believe me. They are not unhappy. This mother is dead. She is being used. The goal was to get somebody killed. Create a spectacle that explodes. So you have riots, so you have protests and hopefully in some minds, revolution. A lot of these people, they're not against ice. They're against all law enforcement. They will not change their mind. They will continue to do this. We know the game. Especially if there's a Republican in power, the game plan of chaos and violence will be hung over our heads as a political extortion. Basically saying if you want this to stop, you need to elect a Democrat. But Trump was voted in by Americans who wanted an end to illegal immigration. And their response was not protest. It's chaos. They don't want you to fix the problems. This is their way of fixing it. And it's complete and utter destruction.

[Sandra Smith]

Thank you for that, Craig. Up next, President Trump meeting with some big time oil executives at the White House.

[UnitedHealth Group Announcer]

The average American spends more than $1,200 every year on prescription medications. UnitedHealth Group is changing that by capping out of pocket costs for more than 290 life saving drugs and ensuring people get the best price on all their prescriptions. Last year alone, UnitedHealth Group saved people nearly $1 billion through price scanning and proactive alerts. And another $2.5 billion through 2024 on medications. See how we're making prescriptions more [e-mail].

[Jesse Waters]

President Trump has a slick plan to lower gas prices before the midterms. 47 Sitting down with some big oil executives at the White House talking about how fast we can drill, baby, drill and drive investment into Venezuela. But first things first. President Trump kicking off the roundtable by inspecting the progress of his big, beautiful ballroom.

[Greg Gutfeld]

We have many others that were not able to get in. I said if we had a ballroom.

[Jesse Waters]

Well, I got to look at this myself. Wow.

[Greg Gutfeld]

What a view.

[Jesse Waters]

This is the door to the Bar.

[Greg Gutfeld]

One of the things the United States gets out of this will be even lower energy prices. We have people now getting gasoline for $1.99. $1.96, $1.95. A dollar 92. Yesterday, somebody, and it used to be 3.5, $4, $5.

[Jesse Waters]

They stole our assets like we were babies. We're taking back what was taken from us. They took our oil industry.

[Greg Gutfeld]

We built that entire oil industry.

[Jesse Waters]

All right, so Kennedy, when you go up and you in the middle of the meeting with these big shot oil executives and you just wander over the window, is that a power move or is that like flair for the dramatic?

[Kennedy]

Well, it's interesting. So my 20 year old is studying psychology, so she knows everything about psychology.

[Jesse Waters]

Everything.

[Sandra Smith]

Of course.

[Kennedy]

And so when I do the same thing, like when she's giving me the gossip at school and I get up and start walking around the the kitchen and go like, should we get all new white dishes? She's like, you have A.D.D. that's what she would say.

[Jesse Waters]

Diagnosis.

[Kennedy]

Yeah, that's what she would say. To Trump, it looks like he's lost interest in the original subject of the room, and his real passion lies with a big, beautiful ballroom.

[Jesse Waters]

We have gone so far, Jessica, from the big scandal where Cheney meets with oil executives in secret to the President literally having all executives in the White House with cameras there.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Yay. It is more transparent in that sense, though. There's a big lack of transparency. Red flag going out or the flares going up that he has declared that he will personally control the proceeds from the oil and will decide what goes to the Venezuelans and what goes to the Americans. And Congress, again, I'm don't sound dull by saying Congress has the power to appropriate funds, but it's another unconstitutional move that he might be in charge of this money. More state capitalism, like taking 10% of intel and these executives, you know, of course, for the cameras. Everyone wants to get along, you know, act excited about all of this. But there's a big article in the FTSE where they had an oil executive saying, quote, no one wants to go in there when a random effing tweet can change the entire foreign policy of a country. Yeah, so not funny.

[Jesse Waters]

I was reading the FTSE earlier. That's the Financial Times.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Well, I don't know how to read, actually, so I don't know.

[Greg Gutfeld]

The FTSE really worries me.

[Jesse Waters]

No, I actually was reading it and it's.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Oh, I didn't know you had access to.

[Jesse Waters]

I actually get it delivered to the House to Expensive.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Okay. That's why.

[Jesse Waters]

But they were saying that people are crawling all over themselves to get in on the action. I mean, this place is a gold mine. Liquid gold and real gold.

[Sandra Smith]

So I just. When you detail where the money's going, where did you think it was going before Maduro was captured? It was going to a corrupt Maduro regime.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Sure. I just don't want it to go to a corrupt American regime. I want him to give it to Congress, right?

[Jesse Waters]

Oh, yeah. Congress isn't corrupt. They definitely know how to spend the money.

[Sandra Smith]

Okay, so just a couple things. First of all, there is huge opportunity there. They're sitting on massive, massive oil supply. And that is not being tapped, that is not being used. That could clearly easily be in the global market. And did you listen to the, did you listen to the oil executives?

[Jessica Tarlov]

Because any, whatever it was, the stories.

[Sandra Smith]

Every single story from those oil executives that he brought in that room was fascinating and not to be discounted. Those oil executives, some of them detailed raising their children in Venezuela. This is where they cut their teeth in the oil industry. There was another oil executive who said he currently has a thousand Venezuelans in employed all over the world because they had to flee Venezuela. And they are excited about what is happening to go back to a free Venezuela eventually, hopefully. So this, I mean, there was individual stories that certainly the White House should probably be putting more out there than they do. Also, they should be talking about the price of oil and gas. I mean, Larry thinks that we're not talking about this. Not our good friend Larry Kudlow. I mean, gas is now $2.80 as a national average per gallon. That's incredible. It's down 28%. Sorry. Gas is down 10% since Trump took office. Oil prices are now down 28% since Donald Trump took office. This makes America better. This helps us transport goods easier. This will eventually lead to lower prices and it already is contributing to lower inflation.

[Jesse Waters]

Greg Gutfeld, what say you?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Talking about gas prices now for a Democrat is like talking about guys in dresses like last year. They just don't want to hear it. Jimmy Panetta, Democrat, claims that too much oil and lower energy prices is bad for America because it creates instability abroad, which leads to insecurity here. Oh, my gosh, think about that. Only a Democrat would come out against cheap gas.

[Kennedy]

Did he get his economics degree at Costco?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Probably. But I mean, you know what he's going to come out against? Affordable food and medicine prices. But it shows you that the mantra of affordability was just a mantra. They talk about it, but Trump actually delivers it. So it's just, I guess they just don't have an argument for it. But Trump has this great filter. It's not neocon. It's not isolationism. It's what's best for us. And the funny thing is the world understands it because they would do the same thing. You know, our adversaries and allies alike would go like, yeah, they're the most powerful country in the world. They want to stay that way. But it's our media and our establishment Democrat politicians who don't because they don't believe America deserves it. You know, they don't. They can't say what's best for America because we're, you know, irredeemably racist and irredeemably oppressive. We don't deserve anything but punishment. Jessica, you should have said you didn't want the oil to go to a corrupt country. You were talking about America. I want the oil to come here.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Corrupt, man. Well, the whole country isn't.

[Greg Gutfeld]

No, but it's.

[Jesse Waters]

But the point is he doesn't get the oil. We get it.

[Jessica Tarlov]

No, no, I know the money, but.

[Jesse Waters]

He'S not taking the money either.

[Jessica Tarlov]

But what will I think is crypto account would say otherwise in 2028.

[Kennedy]

Will she give it back to Venezuela?

[Jesse Waters]

What is why you're trying to. What is the Democrat policy?

[Jessica Tarlov]

I don't think that.

[Jesse Waters]

What do you think the Democrat policy is? We have all this new Venezuelan oil. What should we do with.

[Greg Gutfeld]

We need to create a program that delivers oil to Somalians in Minnesota. Right. Because gas is too expensive for them.

[Jessica Tarlov]

I love that you guys are acting as if the economy under Democrats doesn't perform better than it does under Republicans.

[Greg Gutfeld]

We are acting like that.

[Jessica Tarlov]

But you shouldn't. It makes you look dumb and like you can't read.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Don't think so.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Yeah.

[Sandra Smith]

Okay. Well.

[Jesse Waters]

I didn't think.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Would like a word.

[Jesse Waters]

Think you could read?

[Jessica Tarlov]

I can read so well. It would blow.

[Jesse Waters]

That's what people who can't read say. Up next, Conan o' Brien's telling anti Trump comics to stop being so angry.

[UnitedHealth Group Announcer]

Getting your prescription shouldn't be complicated. That's why UnitedHealth Group is eliminating up to 25% of reauthorizations for 180 medications that treat chronic conditions like high cholesterol, hypertension and behavioral health. This will help keep patients on medications, reduce workload for physicians and pharmacists and lower administrative costs. Discover how UnitedHealth Group is making healthcare simpler. @uhg.com.

[Kennedy]

We're all dancing. Welcome Back. Conan o' Brien dropping a reality check on America's anti Trump comics saying all that foaming at the mouth over the President is wrecking the punchlines.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Watch now a little bit. You're being co opted because you're so angry. You've been lulled. It's like a siren leading you into the rocks. You've been lulled into just saying effort. Trump. F. Trump. F. Trump.

[UnitedHealth Group Announcer]

Screw this guy, you know?

[Greg Gutfeld]

And I think you've now put down your best weapon, which is being funny, and you've exchanged it for anger.

[Kennedy]

He looks very good, but not like he's had work done. Will any of Conan's fellow late night gas bags hear him out or will they just go back to whacking the same orange pinata?

[Greg Gutfeld]

I know what they're doing. They're trying out a new slogan. Donald J. Trump is going to kill you two.

[Jesse Waters]

Ice get the out of Minneapolis.

[Greg Gutfeld]

The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city, obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn't obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country, whether you live in a red state or a blue state.

[Kennedy]

Stephen, stop talking.

[Jesse Waters]

Shh.

[Kennedy]

So, Greg, when I watched this interview with Conan, I thought he. This is a very clear message he's sending to one person because Colbert is no longer relevant. He's sending this message to Jimmy Kimmel. What did you think?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yeah, he's trying to give him the medicine that people have been trying to give him for 10 years. The problem with the, with the people he's talking about is that they let their ego take priority over entertainment. They wanted accolades, not an audience, and so they started seeking approval. This is the weird thing, they started seeking approval from people who don't like comedy. I mean, it's like they, the people that are the activists on social media, they don't go to comedy clubs. You know, it's like opening a steakhouse for vegans. What are you doing? The people who cheer Kimmel's pathetic rants, they're bed sitting cat ladies. They're not people who go out and know what's going on in comedy clubs. And I think Conan understands that. Who's your audience? I think it's hard to be a comedian these days because the feedback is constant and it's almost always groundless because real fans aren't doing that. They're going to the shows. They go on YouTube, they watch your clips, but they don't hang out on blue sky telling you how upset they are over your joke about Chinese food. 99% of the loudest voices are from 1% of the population because the barrier to entry is so low and they're lazy losers. And that right now is Kimmel's remaining audience.

[Kennedy]

But unfortunately. So Jimmy Kimmel used to be really funny when he had women jumping up and down on trampolines with large breasts. He and Adam Carolla had the man show, and it was great. But it's a very interesting tale because they're still great friends. And Adam defends him that Adam became a little bit more pragmatic and naturally more conservative and skeptical. And he's still very funny. Like, he does comedy shows across the country. And he is great. Kimmel has become so unfunny. So does liberalism zap your joy?

[Jessica Tarlov]

I mean, I haven't felt that joyful for the last 35 minutes. So perhaps. I mean, there are different pressures depending also on the forum that you're entertaining. So Kimmel has a show on abc. It's a very different thing than, like, what Conan's doing. He has a hugely successful podcast, but he has no overlords and he has no audience that the executives can tell you. These are the people who are going to be tuning in. And I'm sure that you think about that. And Adam Carolla going to do shows wherever he is, doesn't have those same kind of pressures. I do think that it's a mistake. No, he's a success. He's a successful performer and business person. I mean, he has, I assume he makes a lot of money and he has a job that a lot of people would like to have.

[Kennedy]

So did Ava Braun.

[Jessica Tarlov]

No, no one wanted that job.

[Greg Gutfeld]

No, his audience is the one that he cares about most. His wife, who's the head writer and a hardcore feminist. That's what killed him.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Happy wife, happy life.

[Kennedy]

So, Jesse, I want you to say nice things about Greg, because Greg also has overlords, but he's got a successful show and he's funny. He tends to say what he wants.

[Jesse Waters]

You know, it's funny. Greg's overlord, also his wife.

[Greg Gutfeld]

That's true.

[Jesse Waters]

I mean, Greg, I think, was funnier under Biden. He's kind of lost his fastball with Trump 2.0. I'm kidding. No, but there's so much material. And you make fun of Trump gently, but there is. But there's plenty of material there. Just like if, If. If you're a Democrat comedian, you look at, there's a Muslim guy with a beard, is the mayor of New York City. Now, I'm not smart enough to figure out the joke there, but I know there's a joke somewhere.

[Kennedy]

Or like Gavin Newsom, you're comparing his.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Fuzz to like an Osama bin Laden beard.

[Jesse Waters]

You just made a great joke. I wasn't even going there.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Liberalism has not zapped my sense of humor.

[Kennedy]

Well, maybe when, maybe when he hits puberty, he'll have the full Sandra. Does this affect the bottom line?

[Sandra Smith]

So you know why that was funny? Because Jessica fell down the trapdoor. And Jimmy Phelan, I had a conversation about this earlier, the Conan o' Brien thing earlier, he said comedy is about trap doors. And if every night you're taking to the stage and you're saying f Trump, you're predictable and you're no longer funny. And he said that is happening. The other thing that's happening is the only people who appreciate the anti Trump humor, it makes them think of Donald Trump, makes them angry right before they go to bed at night.

[Greg Gutfeld]

That's true.

[Sandra Smith]

That's not going to work.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yeah.

[Kennedy]

And then they have to wake up in George Stephanopoulos loving arms. The Fastest is up next. Stay with us.

[UnitedHealth Group Announcer]

Today, too many patients aren't getting the care they need. That's why UnitedHealth Group is innovating how healthcare is delivered, making care easier to get and less expensive. Learn [e-mail] mission.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Welcome back. President Trump has been complaining about shower pressure effects on his famous mop of hair for years.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I don't like taking a shower where the water goes drip, drip, drip onto my luxuriant hair. I need a lot of water. It comes out drip, drip, drip.

[Jesse Waters]

It's ridiculous.

[Jessica Tarlov]

And now Republicans are hoping to make President Trump's dreams of waterfall showers come true by making the quote Shower act, one of the first bills passed by the House this year, which would increase the pressure in your nozzles. Jesse, are you pumped for Congress to finally do something?

[Jesse Waters]

Yeah, I want to be knocked down, Jessica, by the pressure. I don't know what nozzle he's talking about cuz he only stays as his own places. He goes from Mar a Lago to the White House to Bedminster to Trump Tower. What shower did he shower in that was so weak that he's driven, driven crazy by it? I don't know. Maybe I'm not supposed to know.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Greg, do you know where Donald Trump is showering with the drip, drip, drip?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yes, but I'm not at liberty to say.

[Jesse Waters]

Kudlow?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yes. I love how the critics are calling this a trivial issue just because Americans care about it, you know, and it's a. It's an issue that Dems can't get their head around because it doesn't allow to create a program, a program for showerheads that they can then defraud. Is defrauding and frauding the same thing?

[Jesse Waters]

Defrauding.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Defrauding. There's no way to make money out of this. There's no way to expand government. This is just. We're gonna do something nice. It's free money on the table. For Trump, it's an issue that costs nothing and that 90 to 100% of the public agrees. I love strong showerheads, and I love the handheld one, if you catch my drift. But politicians say it's wastewater. No, wastewater is a long shower where you're spending, trying to get the shampoo out of your head. Head, head, head.

[Sandra Smith]

Don't you want to ask me about showers? Okay.

[Kennedy]

Well, I think it's the most important.

[Sandra Smith]

Five minutes of your day. A shower you got to have.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Is that all you do? Five minutes?

[Sandra Smith]

I don't know. I've never timed myself in the shower. Is it 10? I don't know.

[Jessica Tarlov]

I don't know how I think it's longer than five.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yeah.

[Sandra Smith]

How long is your shower?

[Greg Gutfeld]

It depends how I feel in three.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Minutes, if I'm alone. If I'm not, my ha.

[Kennedy]

To take five minutes alone.

[Jessica Tarlov]

It was a joke.

[Kennedy]

Yeah.

[Jessica Tarlov]

He said shower had dirty stuff.

[Sandra Smith]

I'm all about. I agree.

[Kennedy]

How strong water flow. The family show. No, I'm. I'm sick of this government regulation in California, it's even worse. We have a governor on how hot the water can be.

[Jesse Waters]

Really?

[Kennedy]

And you have to take everything apart to get hot water.

[Sandra Smith]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Because it's destroying the planet using fossil fuels to heat your water.

[Kennedy]

And, you know, it's like they want to be like Europeans who are like, oh, Americans are disgusting because they use air conditioning and ice cream cubes there.

[Jessica Tarlov]

We smell like a foot.

[Sandra Smith]

Yeah.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Why do they go after waterfalls?

[Sandra Smith]

Yeah, exactly.

[Kennedy]

Go to Niagara.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yeah.

[Kennedy]

Barrel.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Niagara Falls. Is that pressure naturally occurring?

[Jesse Waters]

If you could turn that pressure into the.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yes.

[Jesse Waters]

Oh, man. Greg knock you off your feet?

[Jessica Tarlov]

I was confused. We didn't have prompter, but can you read anyway? Man Male Friday. Pop. Next, please.

[Kennedy]

Please, Please don't prove I'm right.

[Sandra Smith]

Five years ago, the US Brought leaders from Israel, Morocco, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain together to sign the Abraham Accords.

[Kennedy]

I'm Megan Alexander, and this is Middle East.

[Sandra Smith]

Tomorrow go to partners.foxnews.com.

[Jesse Waters]

With the Astronom.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Fan mail Friday. All right, this is an interesting question. What's something. You've become a low key expert. I don't even know if you need to say low key. There an expert in because of your career, but no one would ever guess.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Law enforcement protocol.

[Kennedy]

Kennedy Institutional Investing.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Really? You're good.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Can you help me?

[Kennedy]

Absolutely.

[Sandra Smith]

Okay.

[Kennedy]

No, I would say probably macroeconomics. You know, little things.

[Jesse Waters]

Jesse, I don't have anything.

[Greg Gutfeld]

No, you don't.

[Jesse Waters]

Yeah, I think you know that.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Light touch for Jesse.

[Sandra Smith]

Sandra, I just lost my economic sheet. Like, I know the price of absolutely everything. Don't pop quiz me.

[Greg Gutfeld]

That's really good, actually.

[Sandra Smith]

Like, I have this printout the brain room gives me every day of every, like, economic metric. And I just, like, that's cool. Where everything is.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I realize that I am an expert in knowing the time it takes for me to say something. You know when you're, like, at the elevator and somebody talks to you, and they haven't yet assessed the time of the story they're gonna tell you, and you're. You have to leave, but they realize there's still, like, 40, 50 more seconds left to tell you the story, and you're like, idiot, I gotta go. I gotta go. Or like, you're trying to get. Get out of a car. Get into a car. They start a story. I won't do that. What sport. What is one sport you will not watch? And why, Sandra?

[Sandra Smith]

Volleyball. The outfits are, like, so offensive. They're like, have you seen the beach volleyball?

[Jessica Tarlov]

Like, they're, like, going, has he seen it?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yes.

[Jesse Waters]

That's one sport I will watch.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Yeah, that's. You just. Wow, that's hilarious. But you'll watch male gymnasts, won't you? Yeah. Sexist.

[Jesse Waters]

Oh, you like that?

[Sandra Smith]

He's a wee.

[Jesse Waters]

Oh, geez. Women's basketball.

[Kennedy]

Really?

[Greg Gutfeld]

Why? What?

[Jesse Waters]

I don't think it's very good.

[Sandra Smith]

Oh, my God.

[Jesse Waters]

No, it doesn't have anything to do with race.

[Greg Gutfeld]

You're a racist, homophobe.

[Sandra Smith]

Sexist.

[Jesse Waters]

Are they all lesbians?

[Greg Gutfeld]

I didn't say that. You did.

[Jesse Waters]

You implied it.

[Greg Gutfeld]

No, I didn't. Jessica.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Like, I know people get excited about curling for the Olympics. She said it's great. It's not.

[Sandra Smith]

Ooh.

[Kennedy]

There's no sport I won't watch. That's all we do is watch sports. I mean, darts, bull riding.

[Jesse Waters]

Darts is good.

[Kennedy]

Darts is so much fun. We went to the darts event at msg. It was so much fun. People in costumes, there's chants. They have their favorites. You can follow along.

[Sandra Smith]

It's really fun.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I mean, it's not a surprise. I will not watch soccer. It is the true male or female, any kind of soccer. Unless they incorporated darts. I would like that.

[Kennedy]

They should have mondarts with soccer.

[Greg Gutfeld]

What task do you wish people would pay you to do?

[Jesse Waters]

Hmm.

[Kennedy]

Kennedy organizing.

[Greg Gutfeld]

You like it?

[Kennedy]

I would love to organize people's closets. I snuck into my 16 year old's room today, did all of her laundry and started putting things away. She's going to be very mad, but it looks great.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Jessica.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Pay me to hang out with their children when our kids are all on a play date. Like, it does feel like you're kind of babysitting other kids too, sometimes. And I feel like you should be compensated because, like, we all love our own kids and we like other people's kids.

[Sandra Smith]

But you're gonna go back to your mom group and they'd be like, she.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Wants, it's fine to make some more money that way.

[Jesse Waters]

Well, there is one task, Greg. Yes, we all know what that is. Shouldn't say it, but probably sucks.

[Greg Gutfeld]

No. Okay.

[Jesse Waters]

I'm just kidding.

[UnitedHealth Group Announcer]

Drink it.

[Jesse Waters]

Drink it.

[Sandra Smith]

I'm really good at washing a car.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Really? What do you wear? Is there a car? Fox Fox News. The Fox Nation store presents Fox anchors.

[Jesse Waters]

Car wash November 12 months of car.

[Sandra Smith]

Like, I'm really good at like detailing a car.

[Kennedy]

Wow.

[Jesse Waters]

I'm thinking like spraying the hose. Detailing's boring. No one wants you on a calendar.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Detailing.

[Sandra Smith]

Oh, the outside and the inside. But like, I get in there. You ever buy the squishy stuff that you can put in little crap.

[Jesse Waters]

Are we talking about the same thing here?

[Greg Gutfeld]

I would, I would. I. You could pay me to like, annoy people. Oh, like if you said I really do.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I need you to get my neighbor to move out.

[Jesse Waters]

Oh, you're the man.

[Greg Gutfeld]

I'm the man.

[Jesse Waters]

I call you first.

[Greg Gutfeld]

So many clever ways to drive people crazy.

[Jesse Waters]

I know.

[Sandra Smith]

Like that.

[Greg Gutfeld]

It is sexy. He's rolling in the first snow of the season at Tier Bark Berlin. That means animal park in German. They roll the snow to cool down, but no matter how much this guy rolls, he's still hot as hell. That thick fur is so insulating that they overheat even in frigid temperatures.

[Jesse Waters]

Sandra, that's one blitz Kizhaki hat.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Exactly.

[Sandra Smith]

All right, Jesse.

[Jesse Waters]

All right. I got Jessica Tarlov a Christmas present, but I got her a better Christmas present. There's more. I want you to open that.

[Jessica Tarlov]

Actually, one of your three gifts was really great.

[Jesse Waters]

These are special.

[Jessica Tarlov]

More of them?

[Jesse Waters]

No, they're even more special, though.

[Jessica Tarlov]

This is a joke.

[Jesse Waters]

They're personalized.

There you go. Put it on.

[Jesse Waters]

Put it on again.

It's like two Trump hats.

[Greg Gutfeld]

There you go.
