00:02Hi, I'm Greg Gutfeld, along with Emily Campagno, Harold Ford Jr., Jesse Waters,
00:07and she does pull-ups on an end table. Dana Perino, the five.
00:20Fox News alert. We are less than three hours away from Trump's 8 p.m. deadline for Iran to make
00:25a
00:25deal or risk a whole civilization dying. So how are the talks going? Well, moments ago, 47 telling
00:33Fox News, quote, we're in heated negotiations, end quote. And Pakistan's prime minister, who's
00:39been mediating things, is now urging Trump to extend the deadline by two weeks. That's 14 days,
00:46Jesse. The president is aware of that request and says he will respond. Meanwhile, here's J.D. Vance
00:52encouraging the mullahs to see the light. If the Iranians want to exact a certain amount of pain,
00:59the United States has the ability to exact much, much greater pain. The president doesn't want to
01:03do that. I don't want to do that. The ball is in the Iranians' court. Now, we're going to get
01:08a
01:08response from the Iranians by eight o'clock tonight. I hope they make the right response. So they've got
01:13to know we've got tools in our toolkit that we so far haven't decided to use. The president of the
01:20Iranians will use them and he will decide to use them if the Iranians don't change their force of
01:24conduct. Kamala also chiming in, saying Trump is, quote, threatening to commit war crimes,
01:31which echoes these other libs. Would those be war crimes the United States was committing?
01:37The way this is set up, the answer to that question is straightforward. It's yes,
01:40they would be because this is punitive. It would be a war crime. This is a moral crime. It is
01:46a war
01:47crime. We need to be demanding that Congress convene today and we need to be invoking the 25th
01:52amendment. We have a completely unhinged president who is threatening massive war crimes against the
01:59Iranian people. Some sort of like homicidal psychopath. Old enough to remember the Nuremberg
02:05trial. Ten years from now, we'd be doing the same kind of thing. All right. I want to go to
02:11you first,
02:12Jesse, because I want to know, is it true that according to reports, Trump plans to launch
02:17World War Three during your show to lift America's spirits? Is the deadline eight o'clock? I didn't
02:24notice. Yes. You know, the threat, I see it like, remember when Tyson said he wanted to eat Lennox
02:31Lewis's children? I saw it as trash talk. I didn't actually think Tyson was going to devour his
02:38children. He did dinner. So this is typical Trump, right? You set a deadline. You have an extreme
02:47threat and hopefully you force the opponent to buckle. And that's what this is all about. I don't
02:53know if they're going to extend. I don't know if they're going to escalate. Nobody knows. But JD is
02:57right. It's really up to the Iranians. If they're going to wage economic warfare, we have the right to
03:02wage economic warfare. If they're going to attack the world economy, we can hit their economy. The
03:07Israelis have already hit the petrochemical camps, which they get $18 billion from. Okay. And they
03:14use that to build missiles to fire at us. We've hit steel plants. Without steel, they can't rebuild
03:18the bridges that we're going to bomb. When did bombing a bridge turn into a war crime? When did
03:25that happen? Every single modern American president has bombed the bridge almost. I think we've been
03:33sabotaging bridges since I don't know when bridges began to be built. When Zelensky knocked out the
03:40bridge into Crimea, the left called him a war hero. But when Trump threatens to do it, he's a war
03:47criminal. What? Zelensky has been bombing Russian power plants for three years. No one said anything.
03:55The Democrats are walking around with their little Ukrainian flag pins, shoveling more money at the
04:00guy. Listen, this is according to military doctrine. You go up the escalation ladder in order
04:09them to force open the strait. If it's not like one big power plant in that country, there's like
04:15a hundred power plants. So a couple of them feed power to the military or the military industrial
04:20complex. And you can take a few out. Some of the bridges, you isolate the missile cities, you cut off
04:26the Capitol for the rest of the country. This is standard operating procedure. They could escalate
04:32back, but this is what's done. And what's the alternative? You send in a ground assault unit.
04:38I don't think we're there yet. You know, Dana, this reminds me of like Trump reminds me of a guy
04:43at a rental car agency demanding a car and there are no cars there. And he wants to see the
04:49manager,
04:49but the manager's dead. And so was the assistant manager. So this is from my perspective. Who is
04:56he threatening exactly when everybody's gone? In my mind, all I could think about was my friend
05:01Brad Fritz and how mad he would be at that car rental place. But he's like, I guess I'm trying
05:07to figure out like, who are you talking to? Who are you talking to? So a parent, I would imagine
05:11that
05:12the CIA is comfortable with whoever it is, right? There were three possible guys, one of them being the
05:16Speaker of the Parliament. I don't know who it is, but I imagine that John Ratcliffe is saying, yeah,
05:21this guy, we can talk to him. He's at least able to make decisions on behalf of his country at
05:26this
05:26point until maybe something happens to him, too. I think that these deadlines become a blur and the
05:32communications becomes like it's exhausting, right? You're following it every day. You're gearing up
05:38and you're gearing up like, oh, actually, no, actually, no. And so at this at this point, I'm with you.
05:42I don't know what's going to happen. And there's nothing I can do personally about it.
05:46I can just watch and think. And what I think right now is that what the president is trying
05:51to do is to balance the need to get the Iranian regime to back off in the straight, open it
05:58back
05:58up and to also figure out a way to say, is this actually a regime change? Do we really need
06:03to
06:03get the uranium out? What are these conditions going to be? And can you actually take them
06:07seriously? The Iranians are masters of saying, OK, OK, OK, sorry. Give us two weeks. Yeah. OK.
06:12Or can we have 45 days? And then we say yes. And then we're back into this over and over
06:17again.
06:17I think the president is trying to figure out, are we in a position to take the action we need
06:21to now
06:22so that this ends with him? Right. That he said, this is going to end with me. At the same
06:27time,
06:27he is trying to make sure he doesn't want to hurt the people of Iran. Even when he the tweet
06:31this
06:31morning when he said he's going to end the civilization. But God bless the Iranian people.
06:35Yeah. So the people are on his mind. And that's clear. It's funny to see every Democrat and lefty
06:41pundit out there talking about war crimes. It's like all of a sudden, when you talk about the
06:46Jones Act, they're experts about the Jones Act. And if you want to talk about the filibuster,
06:49they know everything about the filibuster or even the discharge petition, as we were talking about last
06:54week. The final thing I would say is, where are those pundits and the journalists and the
07:01congressmen talking about Iran suggesting that children link arms all around a power plant to
07:08prevent or to cause a major humanitarian crisis and war crime? That's exactly what Hamas did
07:16in Gaza. And now it's happening again. And they don't say anything. No, of course. So, Harold,
07:22good to be back with you. Glad to be with you. Happy Easter. Go blue. Yeah. So I've noticed a
07:28pattern that as the threats from Trump get more bombastic, the actual bombs get more precise.
07:34And I think we are led to believe by the media that we're expecting this larger spectacle when,
07:40in fact, it just gets more targeted. Does that make sense to you? It does. I don't necessarily.
07:46First of all, it is great to be back with you. And I don't necessarily disagree with a lot of
07:51the
07:51things that Jesse and Dana have said. I differ slightly with Jesse. Just to clarify, when you're
07:58at war and you attack something in a country, it has to be a primary. The way you distinguish if
08:04you're violating some human rights thing, I don't think Democrats should be dwelling on this,
08:07but as if if there's not a military objective. Remember, Zelensky has responded to the Russians.
08:13They were bombing housing developments, residential neighborhoods. And he responded. I wish they hadn't
08:18done that. And I know we both do. But the law clearly states that if you're if there's a if
08:24you're providing yourself or advancing a concrete military advantage, you can you can attack whatever
08:29you may want to attack. And we'll see if the president hopefully doesn't have to come to that.
08:33But I step back from this. And there are three things I think that I take from the president.
08:37I've never heard a president say we're going to end the civilization. But I give the president the
08:41benefit of the doubt that he really meant affecting in a really lasting way civilian life in Iran,
08:46which would hopefully bring them to the table. Three things. One, we've done great damage to
08:50Iran's military. Democrats need to acknowledge that and Republicans need to acknowledge that.
08:54But what we have not done is eliminated their ability to develop and build cheap things like
08:59drones that can attack and even help defend them. In fact, we've this asymmetrical world we live in now
09:05with military capabilities and military weapons is going to change the way wars are fought. And we have
09:09to we have to address that, too. Dana touched on it. We wouldn't be having this conversation if oil prices
09:14were not high. Oil prices, the price of a barrel of oil, a WTI crude has doubled since this war
09:20started.
09:21This is not a Democrat issue or Republican issue. This is something that Democrats, Republicans,
09:25independents are having to deal with. Greg, you and I both have on dark outerwear. This is oil
09:30help do this. Oil help do that. So it is part of all of our lives. And for that matter,
09:37whether you
09:37ride in a car, an electric car or a car driven, powered by fossil fuel, even this table in the
09:43color of my phone,
09:44is dictated by that. Three, a fact, I think China and Russia are probably, as we sit here today, bigger
09:50beneficiaries of what's happening than others, largely because they're able to receive oil through the strait,
09:56not at the rate they were and the pace they were and the cadence they were, but they're also able
09:59to sell it as well.
10:00It was curious to me that the vice president was in Hungary today endorsing and campaigning for Mr. Orban,
10:06which they have every right to. But I will remind all of our viewers that the only European leader
10:11to endorse Mr. Orban is Mr. Putin and now us, which perhaps is another segment for us to deal with.
10:18I end with this. The Pakistanis are going to present, or at least the PM has said that he wants
10:22the president to delay two weeks. I think we've all expressed some concerns or considerations,
10:27for that matter, observations about that. What I hope we all can appreciate and hope the president
10:33can appreciate is that to end this, our military is flawless as they've been in their execution.
10:37It's going to take diplomacy to bring about a lasting solution. If the Pakistanis come tonight with a two-week
10:44offer, I hope the president's able to ask him, what are we getting for that?
10:48Are we, are, when are the Iranians going to say to us they're willing to give up something?
10:52And thus far, I've not heard that. I'm not, I don't, I'm not encouraging the president to bomb anyone this
10:57evening,
10:57but if the Pakistanis and others are being honest brokers, tell us what the Iranians are willing to give up.
11:02And the one thing they have to give up, in my mind, is their ability to develop nuclear weapons.
11:06We can deal with everything else but that.
11:10All right. You know, Emily, when you, when you saw that montage of Democrats,
11:14they were calling him crazy. Somebody called Trump a homicidal psychopath. Don't they realize
11:19that that actually helps Trump? That's exactly what he prefers to be known as when you're dealing
11:26with Iran. And I see it as such a, a sad facsimile of what they should be saying about the
11:34actual
11:34homicidal maniacs, because these are the people that have been quiet about the butchering that
11:39has been taking place on Sixth Avenue in this city, in other cities. You know, for Kamala,
11:44for example, to weigh in on his tweet, via tweet, when she was silent about the hundreds of thousands
11:52of illegal immigrants that were going to the bathroom in bags and getting raped in historical
11:58numbers, murdered in historical numbers, the lost children. You know, I see this as such a sad,
12:03it's not a reflection of him. It's a reflection of them. And as always, they're taking him literally,
12:10but they're not taking him for the face value of what he's actually trying to do, which to your
12:14point that finally he says, it ends with me. This is finally the one desk in the Oval Office,
12:20or the same desk, the same, the one president behind the resolute desk that will actually
12:25finish this. And with all of them talking about impeachment and equating it to sort of domestic
12:30relations, ignoring the fact that this is a regime, a republic that has murdered in just the last two
12:38estimates, two years, estimates of 30,000 people that right now they just hanged an 18 year old named
12:44Amir Hussein and won't return the body to his family for, for burial. And I'm sure none of them know
12:50his name. I'm sure all of them are ignoring and I've yet to see them weigh in on the war
12:54crime of
12:55using the human shields, women and children around the power plants where 1% of the country right now
13:00even has access to communication. And you're telling me that that's somehow less than, than the
13:04president's tweet who finally is putting an American interest first. And this is the same regime that
13:10flayed a CIA station chief, uh, by the, the inch of his skin using a small laser, the depravity of
13:19this
13:19regime, the evilness of this regime, the war crimes of this regime. And they're somehow asking us to
13:24color between the lines. This is exactly what we had to do under the Obama administration and the
13:29Biden administration, which is why our troops were in harm's way, not because of an evil enemy,
13:34but because of their own commander in chief that didn't have the vertebrae and didn't have the
13:38wherewithal to say, yes, protect us at any cost and all costs, except the pricelessness of the cost
13:44of human life. All right. Coming up, Gavin Newsom gets neutered by his woke wife.
13:52California's dropping 19 million on a PR makeover to convince you that his state is in a full blown
13:58dumpster fire. But Gab's biggest PR problem isn't the streets. It's the living room. Gavin's first
14:05partner, his wife, Jennifer Siebel might be trying to nuke his electoral chances with woke comments
14:11like these. Roll it. The conservative women that Trump handpicks who align themselves with an agenda
14:18that controls women, restricting our rights, limiting our autonomy and pushing us back into
14:22this straight jacket of femininity that is only in service of men. You might want to wake up and see
14:27this for what it truly is. It's a war on all women. I've given our boys dolls. Um, even if
14:35they tear
14:35the head off, I've given them dolls to learn that care and caregiving is not just an activity that's
14:42reserved for women, but that it's also an activity that is a responsibility of men. All right, let's
14:50start with, let's start with the wives. Um, we all know about problem spouses.
14:59You might, I am the problem. Uh, what, what needs to be done about her?
15:07Remember what they did to Michelle? She said that one thing. I've never been this proud in my
15:11first time. And then they just sidelined her for six months. Is that going to happen with her?
15:15Well, she should have been sidelined a long time, but I feel like she is the quintessential Los
15:20Angeles, really annoying actress, you know, auditioning every day. And then at brunch with
15:26her girlfriend says things like that, where you need a dictionary to even understand what she's
15:30saying. And I find it ironic that for her whole position, that it's all about the patriarchy and
15:35we need to dismantle it. Her husband, frankly, is sort of the biggest perpetrator. He's the one that
15:40just gave an interview and said that the reason that his first marriage didn't work out when he was
15:44mayor of San Francisco is because his young wife was quote in a hurry. So was I in a hurry
15:50when I
15:50was pursuing my professional goals was, was AG Pam Bondi in too much of a hurry. I mean, she has
15:55to go
15:56home. And I would think reckon with someone who's the governor of a state that insists on speaking for
16:01every other person of color and every woman and doing a better job than them, or he would step aside
16:06and say, Oh no, honey, it's okay with you. I also think that everything out of her mouth is a
16:14frankly
16:15self elevation to get herself out of that really boring bucket that she's in. She is naturally just
16:21a vanilla, basic, boring, white woman, another one hogging oxygen. So she's trying to say, Oh no,
16:28no, no. Here's how I'm relevant. And here's how I'm different. I see none of those things about any of
16:33her comments. I find them tiresome. And, um, unfortunately for her, the role models that I
16:39look to up to, and a lot of other Californians were those in the administration that actually
16:43earned their way to the top. Okay. Well, let's get another white woman's perspective.
16:49Remember, if they were to go to the white house and if he were to become president,
16:54she doesn't want to be the first lady. She wants to be the first partner. So she would already be
16:57making history guys. Um, uh, the other thing is on the Pam Bondi and Chrissy Nome front, she's by
17:03saying what she's saying, that it's only because of sexism and the patriarchy, she's undercutting
17:07every other Democrats point of view that it was on the merits. And that to me would be the reason
17:14to say, why don't you take a seat? Because we don't necessarily need you out there. I don't know
17:18what he's going to do. Um, there's more where this came from. Yeah. He used taxpayer dollars to
17:25help institutionalize, well, but basically put her documentaries and all of the schools. Have
17:30you, have you done this on waters yet? Oh, that's going to be a good week when you do that.
17:35I don't
17:35usually, I kind of lay off the spouses, Greg, on my show. Yeah. You know, people talk about that.
17:40It's the only redeeming quality you have. It's such restraint. Until they find out why you do that.
17:45Hit on them later. She talked, she talked about, uh, how much better Silicon Valley Valley would be
17:53if women ran it. It would be, uh, nicer. And, uh, if it, it would be nicer if chicks ran
18:01things.
18:02Okay. Explain real housewives. Explain every screeching broad on Tik TOK. Explain the view. Women
18:11are not nice and they are definitely not nice to each other. So she, the reason why she said
18:19Silicon Valley would be better because women would more likely to limit speech and behavior
18:23so that it wouldn't be as free as you would see now. So basically what is, what is she saying?
18:29She's saying women make better fascists than men. And there is proof. And we've seen this and you
18:35mentioned the awfuls. It's like you see these female health givers, practitioners, you know,
18:40on social media vowing death against ice and Trump supporters. It's, it's, uh, it's ego married to
18:47will with a veneer of emotion and pointed at a, at a target where if you punish it, it brings
18:54you
18:54virtue. That is where she's come from. Uh, she is the, almost the original awful, the affluent white
19:00female liberal who demands subservience to her view, but she does something that no PR firm could do.
19:06She creates sympathy for Gavin because Holy hell, you know what I mean? But I said this last night,
19:14I'll say it again. They are the Jim and Tammy Faye Baker of politics. They're this garish pair of
19:21cosmetically enhanced and designed, uh, seeking power instead of religion. Tammy Faye and Jim,
19:29they, they chose religion. They chose politics, but they both wield the tools of shame to,
19:36to, to keep themselves in power and to get wealthy and to get status. Uh, they don't say
19:40anything practical or real, but it's the script that they use. That's in vogue with these elite
19:46circles that keep them going. And she, let's be honest, she's attractive. Pretty. Okay. Almost as
19:54pretty as him. Top that Harold. I have an M too. The, uh, I'd say I'm with you. I don't
20:02like,
20:02I think spouses and families should be left out of it, but they, yeah, yeah, that's exactly what
20:07he said. Unfortunately they aren't, but Democrats as a whole need to understand. And I'll repeat
20:13what I've said. We need to talk about our difference in priorities and what we, how we would
20:18manage, how we would govern, how we would make people's lives better. Uh, and there's not enough
20:23of that. Uh, governor Newsom will have to, uh, uh, answer for his record in California and answer
20:28for his vision for the country. And we'll see if he's able to do that. But I don't think that
20:32many
20:33of the people out on my, in my party now who are out talking about running or doing enough of
20:37that.
20:37They point out why they think president Trump is a bad person or a bad, a bad leader. I don't
20:42think
20:42he's a bad guy to president. I think he has priorities that are different than mine. If I
20:45were them, I'd be out talking about their housing plans, their education plans, how you plan to help
20:51communities and states across the country deal with the massive economic disruption that AI is going to
20:55cause. What are you going to do to actually rein in the size of government? You think about a year
21:00ago today on this set, we might've been in a different studio, but if I were on a set a
21:03year
21:03ago, we were talking about Doge and talking about how we were going to rein in spending.
21:08The administration has abandoned that effort in a serious wake that now they're, they're going
21:13about it, trying to talk about fraud and prosecuting fraud. And I guess that's an element of it,
21:17but there's so many other things in government where we spend too much money. That's not necessarily
21:21fraud. The one hand just doesn't know what the other hand is doing. They know one day on the
21:25show about a year ago, talked about how, and some people say it was a small amount, but what Dana
21:30was saying was really how it's cascades. There are 10, 12, 15, 20 subscriptions to the same things that
21:35people have in some of these federal offices that may look like a small number, but when you add it
21:39up across every agency, you're talking about millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars
21:43in their effort after effort, after effort like that. If I were running for president or if I were a
21:48governor or mayor and talking about how we, how we right size things and how different my priorities
21:53are than president Trump. That's what I'd be talking about. Not some of this nonsense that
21:57some of these people are talking about today, which is primarily they hate Trump. That alone is not
22:02going to do it. It may be a start, but it's not going to get you there. All right. Before
22:05we go,
22:06you said women are broads. Are we allowed to say broads now? Nope. It's a compliment.
22:10Okay. The best women are broads. They play softball. They drink beer. They ride
22:23motorcycle. You, you, everybody knows abroad. We want a woman. Christ is risen. Christ is risen.
22:28We, we, I'm not so sure. I agree. Those are the best women. They're not Greg. Greg speaks for
22:34himself. Coming up next, watch out Democrats. Barack Obama wants to see your ID.
22:39I play softball.
