00:04Hello, everybody. I'm Martha McCallum, along with Paul Morrow, Jessica Tarlov,
00:08Jesse Waters and Greg Gutfeld. It is The Five. It is New York City and it is live. Hi, everybody.
00:20All right. So as you saw today, President Trump is not deterred. He's not happy,
00:26but he's not deterred after the Supreme Court struck down his sweeping tariffs under the
00:30emergency powers law. It was a six to three decision and it did upend in some ways something
00:37that has been a major tool of his economic agenda and a word that he says is his favorite word
00:43of
00:43all, tariffs. So no doubt, a bit of a setback, but I'm not sure how much. He says he's not
00:48giving up.
00:49He's vowing that alternatives will be put in place and he wasted no time on this. He put in a
00:5410%
00:54global tariff under a different trade act, the Trade Act of 1974, and those tariffs will expire
01:02in five months. That's a pretty long time unless Congress extends them after that. And the president
01:07had much more to say on this in the briefing room. Watch. The Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs
01:15is deeply disappointing. And I'm ashamed of certain members of the court, absolutely ashamed
01:23for not having the courage to do what's right for our country. Foreign countries that have been
01:28ripping us off for years are ecstatic. They're so happy and they're dancing in the streets, but they
01:37won't be dancing for long. This happens so often with this court. What a shame having to do with voting
01:44in particular. When in fact, they're just being fools and lapdogs for the rhinos and the radical
01:51left Democrats. They're very unpatriotic and disloyal to our constitution. I understand how
01:57they're very easily swayed. I went to be a good boy. I said to the owner, I made a speech
02:03at a factory.
02:04I said, how are you? Nice to meet you. How's business? President, I'd love to kiss you.
02:11This is a very powerful man. I don't want to be kissed by that man. But why wouldn't you just
02:15work with Congress to come up with a plan? I don't have to. Supreme Court justices who ruled
02:21against this policy, the policy striking it down. Are they still invited to your State of the Union
02:26next week? And will you speak with them? They are invited. Barely. I think it's an embarrassment
02:30to their families. You want to know the truth. All right. There you have it. Lively news conference
02:35today from the president. Some potential 2028 Democrats, of course, wasted no time to try to
02:42take advantage of this moment. California Governor Gavin Newsom gloated on acts within minutes. He
02:48said this time to pay the piper, Donald. Your tariffs were nothing more than an illegal cash grab
02:53that drove up prices, hurt working families and wrecked longstanding global alliances and other
02:58Democrats also eager to weigh in. Watch. I'm glad the Supreme Court was able to look at it from an
03:04independent lens and just look at the legality of it. I think the president needs to actually
03:07listen to the Supreme Court and drop this and stop the pain for Pennsylvanians, stop the pains
03:12for the American people. This is good news for the American economy and for so many families around
03:18the country. This is also a very important reminder that this president is not unstoppable.
03:24You know, Paul Morrow, I want to start with you on the legal side of this. You know, it strikes
03:28me
03:28listening to the reaction from Democrats there that, you know, the economy is showing a lot of
03:34signs of improvement. Wages are up, gas prices are down. You know, there's a lot of most economists
03:40are evaluating this as an about to turn around significantly economy. I also see this. I was a
03:45little bit surprised in some ways that the president was so upset about this. And I talked
03:50to a few people who thought, you know, he's still winning on this and he could have just come
03:54out and said, you know what, whatever about your ruling, but we're going to figure out a way.
03:59We have a number of other options on this, which they've been working on for some time
04:03and we can put those into place. It's not a big loss. And I don't think that money's ever going
04:08to get paid back. One hundred and seventy five billion dollars brought in in tariffs. I don't
04:13know how they would do that. Yeah, I'm surprised that he actually has made as big a deal out of
04:17this as he has, because there are very clear workarounds. The best one I see is 232. We've talked
04:22about it. 1962 Trade Act. What he can do is he can use those powers to go after specific countries
04:29for national security reasons. Those are the ones that matter, as in China. Message to Newsom,
04:34by the way, when my estimation is very much in China's pocket due to Silicon Valley. He can go
04:39with those individual nations. The mistake I feel that was made here is that he put an across the
04:44board tariff and then tried to say it was an emergency. It is an emergency relative to specific
04:49countries. But when you do it to everybody, the argument that it's an emergency gets undermined,
04:54which is one of the things that the plaintiff said here in this case relative to the restitution.
04:59I just hope that the trade deals that they cut after the tariffs were done by a good contract
05:04attorney. Here's why. Because what happens with that is it's essentially it's an international
05:08contract, right? They cut deals due to tariffs and they cut trade deals with us. Consequently,
05:14I would have had in there a non-restitution clause. That is to say, OK, if you come at me
05:19later and try
05:20to say, hey, this was done on false pretenses, I want the money back. Here's clause B, pal. You get
05:25nothing. I hope that they did it that way, because if that's the case and that's there,
05:30this is a big nothing burger. And strategically, let's move from legal. Legal, I think he's going
05:34to get it. By the way, he goes. The only requirement here to go into 232, the Commerce Department
05:40has to do an investigation. You know who's the head of the Commerce Department? Lutnick.
05:43All right. He gets that overnight. So the thing here is that strategically, strategically,
05:48when the voting rights decision comes down and that is, in my estimation, going to go his way,
05:53which is much more impactful when the left starts to say SCOTUS is in his pocket, he has to say,
05:58hey, look at the last one that I lost. Strategically, this is not that big a deal and in fact
06:03may help him in the future. Yeah. And of course, the Roe v. Wade decision went the way that he
06:09and conservatives wanted it to go, a huge decision. So Jessica, when you look at his attitude towards
06:15the court on this one, what's your reaction? I'm not surprised that he didn't take the win,
06:24actually, that they handed him on this. There was a great opportunity to say, this wasn't my fault.
06:30You know, my plan was working. The court is bad, but not so bad. We've gotten these really good
06:35things from them because you got a lot of great decisions as far as he's concerned and then move
06:40away from an economic policy that's been hurting everyday Americans and American businesses.
06:45But instead to double down and go with, as Paul pointed out, this 10 percent blanket tariff,
06:50which shows that you're not actually thinking about what you're doing. You're just mad and you
06:53love tariffs. And so you're slapping it on everyone. I didn't say that. No, that was me.
06:57That part was me. I just said the blanket part. But you did say that that's why he was able
07:02to be
07:02undermined because he did the blanket. It's a reasonable argument. It is. It's a reasonable
07:06argument. The Supreme Court made and Paul Morrow made and now Jessica Tarlov. So it's got to be
07:10good. You know, we know that the average American household paid an extra thousand dollars last
07:15year because of these tariffs. We know that the American, the average American $2,000 extra under
07:20the Biden economy. Well, dealing with inflation that you got because of a global health pandemic
07:25versus tariffs that he chose to put on us are very, very different. You know that 90 percent of the
07:30cost
07:30was transferred right over to the average American. You know also that we only had GDP growth for Q4 of
07:361.4 percent. I don't know if you're watching TV this morning. There was shock on people's face. It
07:41was below even the lowest expectation. I think that Gorsuch's concurrence was maybe the most important
07:48part of the majority opinion today, where he basically said, we have a constitution. I know that
07:53you don't like it and that you think that you should bypass Congress. But there is a way that we
07:58do
07:59things here. And saying that it's only Democrats who are upset about tariffs really misses point.
08:04Rand Paul out front on this. There were, I think, six Republican House members that voted with
08:08Democrats to remove the tariffs on Canada. Three outstanding questions. $175 billion is owed back
08:14to Americans. How are we getting it? J.B. Pritzker is already suing the administration. $1,700 per
08:20Illinois resident. How will our trading partners respond? And then where will Trump go with this? We heard
08:26the 10 percent already, but there is an opportunity to back off because Republicans don't want to
08:30campaign for the midterms with a bunch of unnecessary tariffs. Well, there's a historic
08:34argument that after World War II, you know, the trade relationships that were put in place to help
08:40those countries recover after World War II were essentially still in effect in a latter-day form.
08:46And that if you don't, if you don't go in bold on some of these things and shake up the
08:51chessboard,
08:52nothing will ever happen if you wait for Congress to try to rectify these injustices that have been
08:57existing in trade relationships for so long. So I think this is classic Trump. I think this is
09:03classic Trump MO, Jesse, that he's like, go big, swing for the fences. I'll deal with the courts later.
09:09At least then I've moved the ball down the road. This is what Jessica doesn't understand about the
09:13strategy is because he directs U.S. foreign policy and foreign trade falls under foreign policy.
09:20That's why he went big sweeping across the board tariffs because it knocks every other country
09:27out of their seat. They rush to Washington, D.C. and sign these deals as fast as possible.
09:34The deals are still in place. Foreign investment is still pouring in. And that's when you look at
09:40the construction activity that all of the factories are being built because as these tariffs are set,
09:46it's cheaper to build the product here so it doesn't get hit with the duty that it comes in.
09:51100,000 manufacturing jobs.
09:53No, we're talking about construction. That always precedes manufacturing. I'll talk to you about
09:58that later. So the Supreme Court comes in and says, listen, you can't use this authority. You have to
10:03use this authority. So you have to do an investigation first. That's like telling a landscaper,
10:09you can't use a leaf blower. You got to use a rake. It's going to take a little longer,
10:15but it's going to accomplish the same thing. We need speed. This is the 21st century. You have to
10:23give the president a free hand to negotiate these deals and retaliate when the other side retaliates.
10:29Carney in Canada doesn't have to go to parliament. He doesn't have to conduct an investigation.
10:34He hits back hard. Ursula in the EU. Same thing. Xi Jinping. He dumps any tariffs. He's got a sword
10:42and a shield. He's a dictator. He's not a sitting duck. Oh, so is Carney then. He's not a sitting
10:47duck like us who has to wait and then go and do an investigation and then come back. This is
10:53what
10:53we need now. Not only this, he's now gotten the Panama Canal back from tariffs. He's brought
10:59Greenland back into our orbit and he's gotten NATO funding boosted from tariffs. Not to mention the
11:06fact that wars have been settled because of tariffs. This is what's going to happen. He's
11:10just going to reinstitute the same posture under a different code and they're going to go back to
11:15where they were. But the silver lining is you're right. This time, when you do an investigation,
11:19you might be able to target strategic industries and do carve outs like coffee or clothing,
11:25non-national security related issues. And then you can still have a tariff regime that keeps in
11:31charge of economic national security. And we still have the justices invited to the State of the
11:38Union. Well, that is most important. Barely. I mean, Greg, the justices' job is to evaluate the
11:43law that was used and decide whether or not it makes legal sense to them within the realm of the
11:50Constitution. You know, they need to figure out separation of powers. That's what they did. I don't
11:54think it undermined this entire program at all. What do you think?
11:58Try to think of something that hasn't been said yet in the last three hours. I got to say it's
12:02tough.
12:04I don't think I'm with Paul in the sense that it does it doesn't block the system of tariffs.
12:09It just adjusts the leverage. It was entirely about leverage. And for the people that are gloating,
12:16they were probably the same people who backed the student loan bailout. You know, they could STFU.
12:22The Supreme Court pooped on that, but that didn't stop Biden, did it? Or how about the vaccine
12:27mandates? Supreme Court crapped on that, too, but they still did it to the government employees.
12:33There's always a workaround. But shut up is what I'm saying. Here's what the media won't tell you.
12:40It again, it's about how much they lie about things. They lie about everything, including the
12:46Supreme Court, which they defined as MAGA. Remember, the Supreme Court was in Trump's pocket.
12:53And this was another scary narrative that was used in order for them to push things like term limits
13:00and packing the courts. But what it also did was it inflamed the public with this demonizing rhetoric
13:08that led to, you know, unwell leftists, surprise, surprise, trying to kill a Supreme Court justice.
13:13It's interesting how all of this rhetoric leads in one place. People trying to kill Republicans.
13:19The thing about being a Republican, though, we don't need a utopia. You know, we're used to work.
13:25So if we don't get it through this time, we do it something else. Our goals are secondary to our
13:29system. And we have a system. We say Trump has a very unique system and it has a lot to
13:35do with
13:36leverage and working on behalf of the American people. Again, he's our a-hole. He's not the world's
13:41a-hole. He does it for us. And tariffs are not an emotional thing to us. It's just a tool.
13:48But
13:48it's because it's an emotional thing for Democrats. They have to take it as, oh, yeah, this is so
13:53great. It's like, you know what? This is just another day. We're going to get it, whether you
13:57like it or not. You know who's a real loser here? Iran, because POTUS is in a bad mood.
14:03By the way, I do get what Gorsuch is saying. You know, you don't want to open up the opportunity
14:08for other presidents to enact policies based on emergencies of their design. But that would
14:13never stop a Democrat because they do that anyway. If you don't trans your dog, that's
14:18the apocalypse. So, you know, they never- I forgot about all our trans puppies.
14:21Yes. They never consider the ramifications of what they're doing now. But as conservatives
14:27and Republicans, it's in our blood to think about consequences. Unfortunately- How does
14:33a trans dog pee? Do they lift their leg or do they squat? That's the C-block. We'll get
14:39to that. They have a gender-neutral tree. That's right. All right. Coming up next, a stunner
14:45by San Francisco standards. The city will start arresting, imagine this, people who are doing
14:50drugs on their streets. Talk about long overdue after years of poop-covered streets and homeless
14:59addicts making life hell for citizens. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie announcing that this city
15:03will start arresting anyone doing drugs on the streets and place them in a high-volume
15:08care facility. Watch this.
15:11If you use drugs on our streets, we will arrest you. But with this new resource, we will also
15:19give those suffering from addiction a real chance.
15:24Now this is the kind of tough-on-crime governance people have been begging for. But crime-ridden
15:29Oakland should take some pointers. Their mayor, Barbara Lee, became the latest crime victim in
15:35her city if her homeless man squatting in City Hall stole her car from the parking lot.
15:43Not that that's embarrassing. Jessica, let me come to you. This seems like a good idea. I got to say,
15:48right? I mean, Lurie is saying, you know what, we are going to get these people off the street,
15:52but he's catching like a lot of grief. Is this the dead cat bounce for progressive policies in our
15:57cities? I haven't seen the grief about this. And I was just in San Francisco last week.
16:02Like, everyone's very... No, it's fundamentally different than it was when London Breed was mayor
16:09and in a record amount of time. And I encountered nobody who lived there or was visiting. I was at
16:16a conference who isn't a fan of what's gone on here. It's not fully cleaned up. The tenderloin
16:23still has parts of it. The mission, a couple blocks in there. But I think this is really good. And
16:27the key
16:27part of his philosophy that appeals to me as a big city dwelling liberal, you don't have to choose
16:33between clean, safe neighborhoods and compassion for those struggling on the streets. That's what
16:38every Democrat that I know believes. And so if people are, you know, screaming at the fringes
16:44about this, and maybe they have some way to make taking people off the street as compassionate as
16:49possible and making sure that they get the care that they need, like, let's work together on that.
16:53But Lurie is winning, you know, fans on the left and the right for this approach.
16:58The problem, Greg, is that in other cities, the fringes are running things, as in the city you
17:04and I are sitting in right now. Am I wrong? Yeah, it's interesting. I mean, I kind of hope
17:09that he cracks the seal on this and make... Because a lot of these mayors are incredibly cowardly.
17:16Like Brandon Johnson, they are scared of their activists. They might not ever do this.
17:20But maybe if they see him do it, you know, I love this so much. I feel like I should
17:25condemn it.
17:27Because if it comes out that I'm for it, then the Dems will decide that it's evil. If anybody
17:33at Fox News likes this, they're going to hate it. So I'm going to say right now that this is
17:37a really
17:37stupid idea. It's created by the woke to exploit the rich to pay for trans surgeries for dogs.
17:43Very clever. Yeah. But you know what?
17:47You know, what is compassion? And the problem with the left is the compassion,
17:52they defined it as basically letting people destroy themselves because it's their choice.
17:58But along the way, they started destroying the cities and harming other people who just want
18:02to shop and whatever. If this works and he emerges, Lurie emerges, emerges as the sensible
18:09mayor and it spreads. He will be the 2028 candidate, which will be hilarious because he'll just undercut
18:17Gavin Newsom because Gavin Newsom didn't have the stones to do this. But this mayor did. And you know
18:22what? Perhaps Democrats will realize that white men with business backgrounds aren't Satan.
18:29Last point.
18:32When they start arresting and incarcerating the transients, will you see the same chaotic marches
18:38and protests that you saw against ICE? You know that if it was a Republican operation, you would. But
18:43this is going to be hard for Dems. Are you going to are you going to protest against Democrats for
18:48taking away the rights of of free living, houseless people just seeking a better life?
18:57Yeah. And the thing is, if it works, then what do you got to complain about? They got in there.
19:01So
19:01it's going to be a lot of cognitive dissonance. Martha, you and I have talked about the Carter
19:05of Despair, which is 8th Avenue in New York City, Central New York City. You walked down there one
19:09day. You and I were talking about it's one of Dante's circles of hell. You were like, I can't believe
19:13what
19:13I saw today. I mean, New York City could learn here. Right. What do you see in the city? I
19:17mean, I actually I
19:18would say, you know, I ask people to go walk from like 49th Street to Port Authority to Penn Street,
19:25basically. But I don't really want you to do that because I don't really think it's a safe.
19:29I need a Sherman tank. But my question is, you know, we had I lost track of the number, sadly,
19:34but I think there were at least 20 homeless people who froze to death in New York City.
19:39Yeah, we're up there. Yeah. And Mayor Mumdani said, you know, had argued that you you can't force
19:43people off the streets into shelters, that it's not humane or compassionate to force them to move
19:51so that they don't die. So I don't know. To Greg's point, like, I don't know what their definition
19:56is of compassion. But if that's a person that is in my family who has gone down the wrong road,
20:01I would love for someone to pick them up and get them someplace warm so they don't starve,
20:05so they don't freeze to death. But how is this San Francisco mayor getting rid of the people on the
20:10streets? Where are they going? Because a lot of times people don't want to go anywhere.
20:14So that actually is the devil in the details here, because, Jesse, it's not entirely carceral.
20:19They can leave. But if they leave while they're still all hammered up from drugs or drunks,
20:23you know, drink, whatever it is, they can then be rearrested, which, you know, is not going to
20:26happen. The piece that's missing in my eyes here is the fact that we got you because they are
20:31arrested. But now we can hold you. I just want to see how this works out on the ground. Doesn't
20:36it always slip a little? It makes it annoying if you're trying to shoot up and a cop keeps taking
20:42you out and taking you off to a place over and over again, you're going to go somewhere else
20:47or maybe you'll stop shooting up. You're not right about San Francisco. O'Reilly was
20:54just there for the Super Bowl. He says it's beautiful. And then you go outside and it's
20:58like Calcutta. Clay Travis was just there for the Super Bowl. He said he had to walk across
21:0416 needles to get to the party talking about it. So conservative, too. I didn't. I didn't listen
21:10to the guy who basically anchored the Super Bowl talking about it. I didn't hear that. And
21:15I'm going to go with the two guys I cited. No offense to Pat. Trump called for this arresting
21:21open air drug users and putting them into treatment facilities. You guys would be calling
21:26him Hitler. You'd be calling him Hitler anyway. And I love the fact that a Democrat did it
21:31because he gives the media permission to just chill and say, thank God, because if you love
21:35a city, if you love the people in your city, you don't let them destroy the city. Greg makes
21:42this point all the time. If you lived in a neighborhood and this was your block, you would
21:47never let your block decay into a drug infested hellhole. But for some reason, it's OK for
21:55a politician to do it. They're dumb because they have political capital. They have people
22:00who voted for them and have given them all this power. And they what do they do with their
22:05power? They just redistribute the cash to their cronies and let their city suffer. And now
22:12it stops. If this can happen in San Francisco, it can happen anywhere. I love this. I do.
22:17I hope it works, man, because we're losing our cities and I love I'm a city guy. I love
22:22our cities and we've lost them. We've got to get them back. And San Francisco is a great
22:25town. You know, what do your heroin indoors? That's all. That's all we're asking.
22:30You're always telling me that. I don't know why. All right. Coming up, you're going to want
22:34to pay attention to this. Susan Rice just gave away the game on the Democrats' revenge
22:38plan if they win back power. Coming up. We're asking. Got a problem with that, Greg?
22:46You played it yesterday. You shut your mouth. Democrats are out for blood. Former Obama
22:51lackey, Susan Rice, making it clear they want scalps if the Democrats take back power in the
22:57midterms. Watch.
22:59It's not going to end well for them. They're going to be caught with more than their pants
23:04down. They're going to be held accountable. If these corporations think that the Democrats,
23:09when they come back in power, are going to, you know, play by the old rules. I think they've
23:16got another thing coming.
23:18Greg, what do you think Susan Rice means when she says they're going to be caught with more
23:23than their pants down?
23:24I don't know. I made a quick call to Jeffrey Toobin. He didn't pick up.
23:28Um, yes, you may. What jumps out is corporations, you know, corporations are Americans. These are
23:34people. And so what she's saying is we'll destroy you when we come back unless you are obedient to
23:41us and do not play along. It's a very anti-American thing. And my, but I was wondering, what could
23:46she do to you that they already haven't done? I mean, target you for arrest. Uh, they do that
23:52anyway. They're going to call you a Nazi or a racist. We've been down that path. Do it. How about
23:57illegal FISA warrants, a fictional dossier? What can they do? Could they bury intelligence?
24:02Can they target Republican organizations? They did 92 and they got zero convictions.
24:07Alvin Bragg could come up with some novel legal theory. Fonnie Willis could do whatever Fonnie
24:12Willis did. That is, doesn't involve an unfair. What about the 51 Intel officials? There's so many
24:17things that they can do that they've already done. The threat means nothing to us. I think that's
24:22what Trump helped imbued. Uh, uh, Republicans in general is we're no longer scared. These are very
24:27angry people though. Uh, they use the word accountability and they're holding us accountable
24:33for holding them accountable. They're mad at Trump for turning on the lights because what we found
24:40when we turn on the lights, millions of illegals, billions, perhaps a trillion in fraud, uh, the whole
24:46trans delusion that was insane. So their accountability, what they're basically saying is we want to turn
24:53out the lights and if you turn them on, we're coming for you. What do you think she has in
24:58store? I mean, what could Congress do to people who maybe got rid of DEI, Martha? Well, I, I think
25:06that's exactly one of the big problems, right? I mean, you see all the banks now saying, you know,
25:11we're not going to use DEI when we choose our board members. We're going to actually do it based on
25:16merit and people who we think can help the bottom line and help shareholders make more money.
25:21Cause that's what boards are supposed to do. Um, I think that, you know, after, especially after I
25:25think George Floyd, there was like a, almost, there was this bullying effort to say like,
25:29what you haven't put out a statement yet. Yeah. Company ABC. Why didn't you put out your statement?
25:34Uh, do you support black lives matter? And then we saw what happened with black lives matter.
25:37And then, you know, these corporations got to a point where they were like, you know what?
25:40I think we better get back to, you know, doing our business and making sure that we are
25:45creating jobs, creating income. Uh, that's what we're supposed to do. That's a mission of a
25:49business. And they found that they don't have these folks wrapped around their finger anymore
25:52and they don't like it. They still were doing it though with ice. They were trying to intimidate
25:56businesses to, to put up little ice signs. Right. And they might, I don't think they did.
26:01I don't think calling ice agents into Congress, Jessica, we're on a retribution tour. Can you at
26:07least let us finish? No, I think that you should end early. Okay. Take, take the L as Donald Trump
26:15shit on the tariffs. Um, obviously the outrage over this is completely fake. Like anyone who
26:21supports Donald Trump, who has been on a revenge tour, um, even one in 2016 and was still mad about
26:28everything. Um, since he's been back in office, he's been going against his political enemies,
26:33you know, Comey, Chish James, uh, John Bolton, obviously the seditious sex. I mean,
26:37he's had some really embarrassing defeats because he can't get a decent prosecutor to do anything with
26:41them. And grand juries are like, well, this isn't a real case. I'm not going to indict those folks.
26:45Um, but I know that it's all fake outrage. I will say a story that did not get any coverage
26:51because there's just so much going on was, uh, Donald Trump who's been putting, you know,
26:56his face on all of the bureaucracy buildings around DC and he put his face also on the DOJ,
27:03which is supposed to be impartial. And you remember you were so upset about, uh, when Bill Clinton ran into
27:09Loretta Lynch or anything that Democrats did in the past. And I know you guys would be
27:14very unhappy if a tan suit upset you, if Barack Obama's face, a tan suit never upset us. That
27:20was a joke. Although I actually did it. We AI imaged Barack Obama onto the DOJ. You guys would be
27:26happy
27:26with that? No, but you know what you guys did. You guys went pretty far with every kind of flag
27:31imaginable. That wasn't the American flag. Oh my God. You had to put up with that flag and Donald Trump's
27:36face on the DOJ saying Pam Bondi reports just to me only, and we'll do my bidding personally and
27:42doesn't care about the constitution or the law. Any of that is the same as having a pride flag on
27:48an embassy. Okay. Well, you guys arrested like every Republican that was surrounded. Why are you in
27:52jail then? Because I'm smart. Okay. Paul. All right. Look, first of all, in any federal building,
27:59you put the president and the vice president up. That's just how it works in the office. And when
28:05Donald Trump won 2016, I was still working. And there was this surprising delay in Donald Trump's
28:11picture going up in place of Barack Obama. I wonder what that said, I agree that this is a
28:17whole lot of nothing, but you know what? If this is something, then realistically you could play the
28:21same game. Oh, you're going to come after us, Susan Rice. So by that same metric, we can come after
28:26you, right? Because that's the game that you're playing. You put it right out there. So if this is
28:32substantive, if she has something, if she's in touch with people who are gearing this up, then you know
28:37what? You hit first and you hit harder. I'm not advocating that. I think this is nonsensical, but I
28:42will say this. She set herself up because if what she's talking about comes to pass and corporations
28:48are in any way, shape or form supposedly held to account, which is what she's saying relative to
28:53whatever it is she's talking about, DEI or something. She didn't get very specific. But whatever she's talking
28:57about, well, there's your answer, right? Did she put it out there? It's the dumbest thing you could
29:00do. You said on tape on the, you know, went to national news that you were going to do this.
29:06So I'll see you in court and she's going to lose. It was very stupid. And she was in charge
29:11of
29:11something. This person, not, uh, not a good move. All right. I agree. We should arrest Susan Rice.
29:17Well said, Paul. The fastest is up next.
29:22Yes. Look at me. Welcome back. A new career opportunity for Jesse and Greg.
29:27Fox is bringing back Baywatch. You guys look cute.
29:43Thousands of red swimsuit dreamers flooding a California beach for Fox's Baywatch reboot
29:49casting call all trying to slow-mo jog their way to fame. Jesse, did you try out?
29:57No, but I was obsessed with this show. It was the closest thing to porn you could watch when we
30:03were growing up. Your mom would be like, it's cool. He's just right. I was, I was watching Baywatch
30:07on Saturday, mom. But like, yeah, her, uh, Pam, when you were a teenager, like to see her in a
30:13bathing
30:13suit was a big deal. And so a lot of people have very fond memories of Baywatch. And if they
30:19want
30:19to do a reboot, I think a lot of young men would be fine with it. Carmen Electra. Do you
30:25remember
30:25Carmen Electra? Yeah. Yeah. She was big on this show. I was more of a Hasselhoff guy,
30:31more my type, but no, this was a good show. I forgot about the, like the people who were on
30:36the
30:36show. And then you showed the picture last night and I was like, Oh, that's Jasmine Blief. Like I
30:40just saw her yesterday, but I haven't thought about her in a long time. I think, you know,
30:44now Instagram is just all bathing suits all the time. So I don't know. I do like that full pieces
30:49are fashionable. Yeah. Like Baywatch fashion. Okay. You know, that's a good thing. Have you seen
30:55any of these people lately? Yes. Anyway, you know what? This is the final nail in the coffin of body
31:01positivity. You know, we want hot bodies. We don't want tattooed jugs of flesh under a blue wig.
31:08It's over. And with, and with those Zempik, it's time for Baywatch, the villages. There are some
31:15lean ladies over 50. You know, the only issue is tattoos. You know, if you look like, if you look
31:23at the Baywatch crew of the nineties, what there are no tattoos, but everybody has tattoos. Now,
31:29what are they going to do? Are they going to let that happen? I would like to have a role
31:33in this.
31:34I would like to be, uh, the captain Don Thorpe. Do you remember him? He was played by Monty
31:39Markham, uh, AKA the $7 million man. I would like to be, cause they're going to need an old grizzled
31:45lifeguard. And that's me. And I can act acting right now. Let you play the homeless guy in the
31:51beach. I would do that. All right. I have absolutely no recollection of any of these people. I must've
31:55been in a coma in the nineties. My access point to this show is Borat. Remember in Borat, he's like
32:00in love with this. And all I can say is that this is a Fox production. At least not. And
32:04we'll be
32:04trans. All right. And it's going to be actual jiggle stuff. So, you know, right stuff will be
32:11jiggling. Fan mail Friday is up next. Get her on. Fan mail Friday. First question from Lenny.
32:19What is something you enjoyed today that you should have outgrown years ago? Martha.
32:28What if you should have outgrown years ago? What if you should have outgrown? What should
32:31I have outgrown? You were just talking about something, but I, well, I'm, I have a lot
32:35of like Olympic wear right now. Like I, you know, have like an Olympic ski and like the
32:41sweatpants and everything. So you dress probably like, yeah, like dressing like a teenager.
32:45Yeah. You dress like a meth dealer. What about you, Jesse? I was on the plane the other day
32:51and Gigi had a little, those boxes of Lucky Charms and I took it and I ate all the marshmallows
32:56out of the Lucky Charms. That's the best. Good. Oh, he must've been crying. Never gets
33:00old. You're a terrible father. I've heard that before.
33:05From you. Yes, Jessica.
33:08I guess similar to Martha. So I love Hello Kitty and I have a ton of Hello Kitty themed clothes
33:13and I have these great high tops where Hello Kitty is like the top part of the high top.
33:17And I, I wore them like three days ago. Oh, it's a liberal thing to do.
33:22Uh, Hello Kitty is for everybody. No, it's horrible. Uh, comic book art. I like, I still,
33:27when I see the art, I don't read the comics, but I actually have gone to Comic-Con cause I
33:31got free tickets and, uh, I wandered around there for hours and it was really something
33:36to see after they took me back to my youth and those people are underrated as artists.
33:40I said it here. Yeah. I, you know, I'm like, I, I should have outgrown drawing boobs.
33:46Yeah. Look, I mean, I still draw boobs. Look at that. What's wrong with me? That's something
33:51I should have stopped when I was 40. All right. I have time for one more. What would an amusement
33:58park filled with your biggest fear be like? I'll go with you, Jesse. And don't say black
34:04people read my mind. Uh, so, you know, those like ball pits instead of the balls, it was
34:11just rats. I hate rats. Jessica. Um, seafood that I have to eat. I don't eat seafood. And
34:21whenever someone's like, Oh, just have like a shrimp. I'm very upset. So anything that
34:29happens at 6 a.m. That's a great idea for theme parks, it's different times of the day.
34:39I'm going to the 3 a.m. park at 2.15. It's the Dana Perino ride. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going
34:46to say for
34:47me, uh, it would be an amusement park of puddles of, of, of, of unknown depth. Oh, yes. It scares
34:57me
34:58when I leave. You never know what can happen when you're short. You think you can jump over it?
35:01Yeah. Yeah. I walk in it. Yes. I don't like socks. I don't. Oh my God. What about you?
35:07Well, he reminded me of ball pits because like, I, I don't like those ball pit things. I think
35:12they're full of germs. And like, if you made me go into a ball pit, that would be terrible. And
35:17if
35:17there were snakes, like rats or snakes now, a snake pit. Yeah. I'll take a ball pit over a snake
35:24pit.
35:25If I had to choose, I would too. All right. One more thing's up next.
35:30Turn it down, or something's up next.
35:33Turn it down again.
35:35Turn it down afterwards.
35:39Turn it down.
35:46Turn it down, turn it off, turn it off.
35:49Climb in it.
35:52I couldn't breathe it, so please.
35:53What do you want to do, if you, your love,
35:58Has left me in my life?
36:01You would want to be without you, now
36:06I'm not your own, I'm not your own
36:12You understood, that I'm not worth a light
36:16But I'm not worth a deal
36:25Time now for one more thing, we'll start with you, Greg
36:28Oh, we have a fantastic show tonight, Martha
36:30Kennedy, John Taffer, Sir Rod Small, Emily Campagna
36:33That's tonight at 10pm
36:35Let's do this
36:38Prairie Dog News with Brit Hume
36:41Roll the tape
36:44Roll the tape
36:45Oh, boy
36:47Yeah, these are...
36:48Martha, I don't know if you know this, but this is my moment
36:51Where I talk about the Prairie Dogs at Bergen County Zoo
36:55They found love in the sun, kissing and embracing
36:59A behavior often noted as Greek kisses or nuzzling
37:04I love a good nozzle, hugging, sniffing, touching
37:07Riding your teeth together
37:09It helps strengthen group connections
37:12Which is what the Republicans need to do to win back the midterm
37:16Who needs Baywatch, right?
37:18Let's go around the world, Martha
37:20Come on with me
37:21Let's go for a ride
37:22We're going to...
37:26Lithuania
37:27Greg, that's a country in Europe
37:28No
37:29They're celebrating Shrovetide
37:31Folks gather in the village of Rumsyskis
37:34Wearing traditional masks and larger-than-life costumes
37:37It marks Lenten season
37:39Music, dancing
37:40Also, they burn something in effigy
37:43That signals the end of winter
37:45But we should burn something here
37:46Because I'm sick of the snow
37:48Speaking of snow
37:49Tonight, the White House cocaine story is percolating
37:53Eight o'clock
37:54Ooh, that's a good tease
37:56This is still the cocaine from Biden's White House?
37:57Yeah
37:58Joe Biden's White House
37:59Okay
37:59Where was it?
38:00Jessie knows
38:01Jessica
38:02All right
38:04Fat Tuesdays coming up
38:06And people in London are flipping out for National Pancake Day
38:09As they dress up in costumes
38:11To compete in the annual pancake-flipping competition
38:14Over a hundred people
38:15I thought it was going to be more than this
38:16Over a hundred
38:18Just saying it's a million people under the race
38:20Also, weirdly, the pancakes are gluten-free
38:23Which surprised me
38:24Of course they are
38:25All right
38:25More people wearing costumes running around Europe
38:28That's the theme of the five
38:30Yeah
38:30It's a big theme tonight
38:32So, mine is this guy
38:34This UPS driver
38:35Who got chased by turkeys
38:36Watch this
38:43What is going on?
38:44What?
38:45I mean, it's so silly, right?
38:47And so I looked up
38:47What do you do if turkeys are chasing you?
38:49I don't think this man was in any danger
38:50I mean, he was in no danger
38:51And it said
38:53Maintain eye contact
38:54This is the instructions
38:55With the turkey
38:56Make yourself look larger
38:57Like you're supposed to do with a bear
38:59And use an umbrella
39:00Or a bag
39:00Or a coat as a barrier
39:01And never feed the turkeys
39:03Mmm
39:04Never feed them
39:05That's a good idea
39:06Oh, okay
39:07All right
39:08So, I want to congratulate
39:10The USA Women's Olympic Hockey Team
39:13Look at this
39:14What a move
39:15Look at that
39:16She undressed
39:17Awesome
39:18That Canadian player
39:19She's the defenseman too
39:20Her name is Megan Kelly
39:21She actually is defense
39:22She freed herself up
39:24Caught that at the blue line
39:25And goodbye
39:26And flips it right past the goalie
39:28Between her and Alyssa Lu
39:30The women
39:31Had a great day at the Olympics
39:32They made us all very proud
39:33And they all stood together
39:35And sang the national anthem
39:36A great moment
39:37Congrats to them
39:38It was outstanding
39:39That was a nice one, Jessica
39:40Congratulations
39:40Yeah
39:40What?
39:41I hope you're proud
39:44Yeah
39:44All right
39:45That is it for us
39:46For this Friday
39:47Have a great night
39:49But stay tuned
39:50Brett is going to be here
39:51Any second
39:52Hi, Brett
39:53Yeah, so a ball pit
39:54With rats and snakes
39:55And seafood
39:56With puddles
39:57Yeah
39:57At 6 a.m.
39:58Not all right
39:59You have a great weekend
40:00All right, thanks Martha
