00:03Hi, I'm Greg Gutfeld, along with Charlie Hurt, Jessica Tarloff, Jesse Waters,
00:06and she uses a Tic-Tac as a travel pillow. Dana Perino, The Five.
00:17President Trump touting progress on his peace talks with Iran and saying it's all working out very
00:22well. I think Iran, I can say on a sort of a different scale, is in its own way working
00:28out
00:28very well. Maybe it's hard to say just as well, but maybe almost just as well. And we're doing
00:34very well in terms of negotiating a fair and reasonable deal. But no, if Iran doesn't
00:43live up to their agreement, or if they're not behaving, I will do what I have to do.
00:48But as long as they respect us, we're not going to have any trouble.
00:52Trump's optimism comes as J.D. wraps up a second day of negotiations in Switzerland. He claims that
00:57Iran will let nuke inspectors back in, and the terror regime could buy American crops with
01:02billions of unfrozen assets. But all that's lost on the Dems, who are now the party of forever wars.
01:10That's like giving somebody credit for literally an arsonist starting a fire and getting credit for
01:17running out of the burning building. This president has led this nation into a disaster.
01:23We have surrendered our power. We have capitulated to the enemy. And they now are mocking us.
01:30What we've got as a result of that war, which President Trump was the first to take the bait on,
01:36what is a strengthened Iran in terms of its geopolitical stature in the region?
01:42So, Charlie, this is interesting, because we see a lot of criticism. And you have the neocons who
01:50want a regime change, ground troops, forever wars. But people say, you shouldn't have done this,
01:55and now you haven't done enough. And then you have the media trying to figure out who they should be
01:59backing in the criticism. But they don't care as long as it's criticism.
02:04Yeah, as long as it's criticism against Donald Trump. Whereas in Trump's party is the only like
02:10reasonable debate that's going on anywhere. But this thing about how trying, you know,
02:16they're so desperate to try to compare this deal to the deal with Obama. And you have Susan Rice
02:23talking about how Iran is somehow strengthened now and accuses Trump of having been the first person
02:30to take the bait, which to me, I think is her way. She's constantly trying to rewrite history,
02:37constantly trying to revise the very, very bad deal that Obama gave us. And so then you have
02:43the New York Times piling on trying to claim that the situation now that we're in at the beginning of
02:49the 60 day period of negotiation is no different from where we were at the beginning of the war,
02:56which is total BS. You mean it's not changed at all in that their nuclear program has been
03:02demolished. Their missile program has been decimated. Their top 40 leaders have all been
03:08annihilated and they want to act like this is already a failure. And I honestly don't believe
03:15that normal people are buying it. I think a lot of people are sort of they're tired of the wars.
03:21They're tired and they don't like gas prices going up. But I think most people are open to the idea
03:26that actually Trump is making a negotiation that could wind up being smarter than any of his
03:33predecessors. Yeah, change the negotiation stance. Dana, what Charlie said reminds, it's like an
03:38analogy of like Iran is like the uncooperative drunk guy at a bar who steals your phone. He could give
03:45it back or he could get his ass kicked and then give it back. Either way, it's the same outcome.
03:52It's just that Iran now just got his ass kicked and they're at the same place, but worse.
03:56Well, now, but he does it every Saturday night. Yes. And he's limping now because he's been somewhat
04:01wounded, but we also don't know what he's got in his pockets. And so I just, can I go back
04:06to one
04:06thing? It's interesting to see Susan Rice on television. Yes. Because during the Biden administration,
04:11she was in charge of the Domestic Policy Council, right? She had been National Security Council under
04:15Obama, right? And then she was, she was with Biden. You couldn't get her to do an interview
04:21during the Biden years and the Biden border crisis. There was none of that. And where she, I would love
04:28to know, did you have interactions with Biden? That's very interesting to me that all of a sudden
04:32she wants to come back and be an expert on all of this. You once called me an optimistic
04:38pragmatist. So I would like to look on the bright side, but I also think I reserve the right to
04:44be
04:44skeptical about all of this. I think the we'll see is what the MOU is supposed to be. It's supposed
04:51to be, let's wait 60 days and see, which is why I think it's a little hard to swallow that
04:55this is
04:55the best. This is amazing. This is so great. Isn't this amazing? This is so terrific. I'm like, well,
04:59wait, hold on a second. Two months ago, you wanted people to defend the president's decisions
05:06and they did people who support him. And now you want them to completely change their worldview
05:12and everything they've said for the last 60 days and that they're jerks and awful. And they're going
05:16to be cast aside and out of the party because they don't agree with him now after 24 hours of
05:21trying
05:21to be spun on this deal. And to me, I just wish that they would give, give everybody a minute.
05:26Yeah. If you are going to ask for 60 days from the Iranians, let's take it.
05:30Let's take a minute. Everybody take a beat, go to your corners, have a second. Now that will
05:35depend also on Iran doing the right thing, because I don't for a second believe that there was some
05:39like a lone Hezbollah fighter shooting rockets into Israel over the weekend. Those things are done
05:45at the top. And Iran wants nothing more than there to be more daylight between the United States and
05:50Israel. And they're working really hard at that. So I don't love that. Epic Fury was a success,
05:57but it will only be an ultimate success if they can complete this thing or we'll finish it one way
06:03or
06:03the other. And I think it's just way too early to know how it's going to turn out.
06:06Good point. You know, Jesse, they keep asking Trump, was it worth it? Well, it's been 110 days.
06:13We're supposed to get all of the enriched uranium, which I think would make it
06:16an achievement in 110 days. You have their missiles are depleted. Their capacity to enrich
06:22uranium should be thwarted for decades. The real risk of proliferation is gone for a long time.
06:30Seems to me that was 110 days. Well, worth it.
06:34Ahoy, matey.
06:35Yeah. I have a little dog down here pulling on my shorts.
06:41How was the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend?
06:44Yeah. Iran lost the war. They surrendered. And now they're letting the United States and the UN in
06:49to look at their sites and their uranium, and then they're going to destroy it.
06:54Do I need to keep talking? I mean, that sounds pretty good.
06:58Very funny. But Dana's right. If they do say at the end of 60 days, go F yourself,
07:04all the uranium is buried. They can't touch it. So does it even really matter?
07:08And so now you have people coming out like what? Booker and Rice. We don't take them seriously.
07:13They're buffoons. We only put their sound bites in the segment for friction.
07:17The new program is destroyed. The military, 85% destroyed. And the Straits opened.
07:24Greg's gone out there peacefully.
07:26Yes.
07:27He hasn't been attacked. Iran's bluffed their way the last 10 days. There's been no tankers that
07:32have been attacked. We're actually going to wrap this up hopefully pretty soon, and we can move on
07:37to Cuba. My banking buddy told me that after we topple Castro, we're going to be able to buy 100
07:44acres
07:45of pristine Cuban coastline for like 50 Gs. Is that insider trading or?
07:50Not insider trading. That's just hurt on the street.
07:53How does this contribute to this segment?
07:55What I'm saying is Donald Trump is crushing it on the world stage. We now have Latin America
08:01and the Middle East under our thumb. We are now OPEC and the Chinese economy struggling and Putin's
08:08losing this war in Ukraine. J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio are looking really good.
08:14Trump's delegated beautifully. They've gotten experience, respect, stature. Meanwhile,
08:21Harris and Newsom, what are they, cackling and selling knee pads? Forget about that. But Dana is
08:26right. The Jewish question is going to be a situation with this deal because the population
08:34of Israel, they want Netanyahu to go hard in Lebanon. And he's getting probably trounced if he
08:41doesn't go hard. He's up for reelection. And the Iranians know that. So anytime they want to try to
08:48rupture our alliance with Israel, they push a button, a rocket comes out of Beirut, and then we
08:54have to deal with the Iranians and Israel. And we know that's not very fun to babysit. But that's what's
09:00the good part about being a world superpower is you got the world's currency reserve and you got
09:07$1.5 trillion Pentagon budget. So it's in their court. It's like Mary Poppins' bag. Exactly.
09:13The banks can open or close and the bombs can get dropped or sold. Yeah. And, you know, Jessica,
09:20whenever we think about North Korea, we always go like, wouldn't it be great if we got to them before
09:25they were able to get a nuclear weapon? This was the opportunity to do that with Iran. So
09:30what's the problem? Finally, somebody, instead of just like mowing the lawn, flattened the garden.
09:39Sure. I don't know about flattening the garden or what kind of coat rack Jesse just pulled out of
09:45his bag. But you're not also supposed to say Jews instead of Israel. That's their separate things.
09:52Just say Israel. No, I'm just giving you some. I'm giving you some Jew advice. Don't conflate
10:00those things. Please excuse me while I show you my Totenkopf. What are you talking about? The tattoo
10:09is bad, obviously. But you. Well, never mind. Enough. Go ahead. Okay. I would rather people be
10:18talking than not talking. So this is a net positive. Obviously, you know, the Iranians
10:23are out there with their PR from the weekend saying we walked away from the table when reality
10:27they were at the table. I think the Qatari and Pakistani statement, you know, suggests that
10:31there was some real headway made. But there were only a couple of item lines in the MOU that actually
10:38had any specificity to them. And both of them are not going particularly well so far. So Jesse
10:44says the straight is open, but they closed the straight two or three times in the last couple
10:51of days, showing that they can still do that. CNBC said, how open is open? I don't know. That's a
10:57big question. And it's also a lot fewer tankers than what you need to be able to getting through
11:01to get the world's economy back going. But the biggest win for Iran in this is this about-
11:07I think everybody realizes it's open. Just go ahead and ignore the fact that Iran closed it
11:15when it felt like it and then reopened it when it felt like it reopened. But they're saying they
11:19closed it and it being closed. Only three tankers getting through. CNN asked a valuable question.
11:24What are you talking about? 65? The biggest win in the MOU, the thing that aggravates the strongest
11:30supporters of the president the most is Iran being able to sell oil on the open market,
11:36essentially rolling back 40 years of sanctions. I mean, even entities that were sanctioned under
11:42this global terrorism sanction regulations, meaning that that money can be used directly to fund
11:47terrorism. And that was our big problem, why we went in to do this. So we need to stop the
11:52funding
11:52of proxies like Hezbollah. It is estimated that you will get $5 billion a month from being able to sell
11:58that oil on the open market. And there is a reason that Democratic and Republican presidents
12:02for four decades didn't want that to be the case. And so if you look at those two factors,
12:08that Iran is still in control of the strait and that they are now making money day one off of
12:14this
12:14MOU, that is genuine cause for concern. Also talking about what you might get out of the-
12:20They're still losing money every day. What, $400 million? Was that what the estimate was?
12:24No, no. And Charlie saying, oh, I think normal people are with Donald Trump about this. 69% say
12:31the war wasn't worth the cost, which is estimated $132 billion.
12:37Have you listened to why J.D. said that they lifted the sanctions on the oil? Did you hear what
12:41he said?
12:42You tell me. No, no. Tell me. Tell me what you heard him say. The rationale for lifting the oil
12:47sanctions. Oh, so that the money can go to support the people inside there instead of giving them
12:52the regime change that they- That's not what he said, Jessica.
12:54You tell me what J.D. said. He said it gives us more visibility in where the money's going.
12:58Okay. Because right now it's on the black market.
13:00So we can just like track it right to Hezbollah instead of it going in the secret corridor?
13:04You actually can because now it's not on the black market and you can see it go through our banks.
13:09Jesse. Not everything has to be race about race, Jesse. All right. We got to move on.
13:15Coming up next, Kamala and Gavin are trying to outstupid one another.
13:22Aren't sending their best and brightest for 2028. Kamala and Gavin are currently battling over
13:28who has worse political instincts, with Mamala stopping by Don Lemon's podcast for some deep
13:33thoughts on the word hope. Let that light kind of carry us in particular
13:38moments of darkness, that we not only act on that hope, but we inspire that hope in each other.
13:48And in particular at this moment, it is so important that we not only have hope,
13:57but that we understand that that should be a verb.
14:01And knee pads is getting down on his knees for the big guy. Gavin Newsom getting called out by
14:06Axios for embracing Joe Biden in the run-up to the 28th primary. Watch this.
14:11Our former president, who I think was one of the most successful presidents in the last century,
14:17and that is Joe Biden. And I will defend that till my grave.
14:20I'll never turn my back on Joe Biden.
14:22I see my father in so many ways, the way I see President Biden. That's one of the reasons I
14:29was
14:29so loyal to the end.
14:32Dana, did you catch Carl's reaction?
14:33Yes, I think Carl's great. He's like, wait, you just said what?
14:38I like Lemon's reaction, too, as Kamala Harris was going, blah, blah, blah. He just was saying,
14:44like, lady, I gave you a light. You basically are hanging yourself here. I tried to help you.
14:48I'm going to do something I don't always do. And I'm going to say, I think, even though I think
14:54on
14:54the merits and in reality, and in fact, Gavin Newsom is wrong and that this is likely a bad
15:01strategy. However, he knows that Kamala is distancing herself from Biden. She's throwing
15:09Biden under the bus. Biden still has a lot of goodwill with the black community. Gavin Newsom's
15:16numbers with the black community are very low. Kamala Harris's are still fairly high, relatively
15:22high. So he is trying to figure out a way to position himself in a way to say that says,
15:28let me
15:29be your champion because she won't be.
15:33That is I hadn't thought about it that way, Jessica. That makes a lot of sense. Or is like blind
15:41loyalty to an idiot. Does that override that? Well, you do blind loyalty to an idiot every day.
15:51Two in a row. I'm just going to leave. I think I'm done for the day. And it's only Monday.
15:57Listen, that idiot's running circles around you guys.
16:00Whatever. Let's talk about that reflecting pool.
16:03We will. It's like Dana and I were sharing notes today. Probably also doesn't want to
16:10alienate older black voters who feel warmly about Biden from 2020. Also, I think that what Newsom
16:16understands and it's interesting for someone who is so hyper online, but also gets that Twitter isn't
16:22real life. Right. And there are all of these people out in the country who show up to vote
16:27every single time. Right. Midterms, primaries, general elections and not following every single
16:34plot line. They're annoyed at Joe Biden. Right. They they say, like, I really wish he had gotten
16:38out earlier. Some of them might be in the crazy camp and even say, if Joe Biden had stayed on
16:43the top
16:43of the ticket, maybe we would have done better. I think that that's totally absurd. But I think that
16:48Newsom is aware of that. I think it will also be distinguishing in a primary, not just with
16:53Kamala, who's running away from him. But Josh Shapiro, Pete Buttigieg, you know, people are
16:58going to have to make smart criticism of aspects of the Biden administration. But I think that there
17:05is also this genuine affection that they have for one another. They've known each other a long time.
17:09And I think that Newsom also just respects public service at that level, that the guy spent five
17:13decades serving the country and that that's meaningful. Does that work maybe in a primary?
17:19Yeah. But maybe when you get to the general, you look kind of foolish.
17:23Yeah, I don't think it's going to work. It might work in a primary, I guess. And Dana's analysis is
17:28the smartest thing of any of it. But I still don't actually think it's going to actually make a
17:34difference. Right. I think that it's not going to work because, look, Gavin Newsom will say
17:39absolutely whatever he needs to say to try to to to win the nomination. And it's particularly funny,
17:46given the fact that Kamala Harris just 10 minutes ago couldn't find a single thing to criticize
17:51about Joe Biden when she went during the last election. I think that it's all a calculation by
17:58Newsom that he recognizes that that the upcoming primary for Democrats is going to be all the
18:04enthusiasm is on the commie side of the party with the Plattner, AOC, Bernie Sanders. He recognizes
18:12that the party has twice rigged their own primaries in order to keep Bernie from getting the nomination.
18:20And he figures, OK, well, I'll I'll I'll be the guy over here in the claiming to be in the
18:26same
18:27wing of the party, which is hysterical. He's from California, but it's no more hysterical than
18:32when Nancy Pelosi was supposedly from the same wing of the party after the lunatics took over the
18:38asylum. But how funny is it going to be if we wind up with a situation where you have after
18:45all of
18:45the race baiting of the Democrat Party, they hand the nomination to Joe Biden, an old white guy,
18:51and then the old white guy taps a younger old white guy to be the next nominee. Exactly.
18:57All right. Speaking of old white guys, do you need a tissue, Greg? You know, I've been doing this
19:01show for 15 years and I have hay fever and this is the first time it's ever happened on a
19:06show.
19:06It's so bad right now. It's unbelievable. My I could. I'm not going to even try to comment on
19:13this topic except to say that. Why does Kamala's thing no longer work on people? I find that
19:20interesting. She's like that guy at the Port Authority bus station who makes like who used to
19:26make a lot of money telling everybody that he just got mugged and he has to get to a job
19:30interview
19:31and he just needs $35 for a bus ticket. And it worked. It worked like every day. But then after
19:37a while, people just stopped, started like I see this guy. He gets mugged a lot. So it all wears
19:43off. It all wears off. People, other people are using the same story. So it's kind of like this Obama
19:49babble. And it was pretty rich for a while. People could get away with it. But it's like a magic
19:55trick
19:55that only works on infants and people with head injuries. Everybody else is like, oh, what the
19:59hell's going on? Again, she reminds me of the drunk lady at the hotel bar. Doesn't matter who's in front
20:04of her. She'll just say the same old crap. The bartender's already moved to the other side of the
20:09bar, polishing a clean glass. Lemon, however, loves this because for once he's the smart guy in the room.
20:16He's like, I can't believe this. I'm actually a scholar compared to her. And she's like, it's also
20:24kind of like, imagine having, this is like office hours with a drunk professor. You come after class,
20:30she just forces you to sit there and she just gets loaded and tells you garbage.
20:34Yeah. They're running a guy who can't read and a woman who can't talk.
20:38Yeah. It'd be a really fun race. We're going to get Greg a tissue in the break.
20:42Thank you. Must have caught something in the straight over the weekend.
20:46It's coming up next. The liberal media treating algae like the biggest threat to democracy.
20:55Barack Hussein Obama. Have you ever heard of him? Yeah. He spent two years
20:59and over a hundred million dollars when trying to fix it. You know what happened to it? Never
21:04even opened. He took the water for the river. You know about that, right? It turned out to be
21:09putrid and it destroyed the whole thing. President Trump sounding off on the scandal that liberals
21:14think could finally sink his administration once and for all. The green algae in the reflecting pool.
21:21The recently renovated reflecting pool facing scrutiny over peeling paint and algae growth
21:27just weeks after a $14.8 million restoration project was completed. Democrats and the media
21:34can't seem to stop sticking their hands in the pool. Check this out. That American flag blue paint,
21:42it's peeling away. And we're going to scoop up a water sample to see if we can get this tested.
21:50People pointed out that, you know, Jenny, if she had run across this reflecting pool, she would have died
21:55as a result of that. That had he not messed with pool, you know, it would still be a reflecting
22:03pool
22:04instead of a liquid jungle. That's all anybody talked about at home this weekend.
22:11And when liberals aren't dunking on the pool, the usual suspects like Joy Reid are dunking on the
22:174th of July. Nobody black I know is really excited about the 4th of July because it is a,
22:22it is what Frederick Douglass said it is. It is the celebration of slave holders who freed
22:29themselves from having to pay taxes to the crown for their slave empire.
22:34Truly amazing. And we're going to get to that. But first, Greg, I wanted to,
22:36so this whole thing about the reflecting pool, you know, we talk a lot about Trump derangement
22:42syndrome and how Trump manages to take over the brains. But I also sometimes wonder if I don't have
22:48a form of Trump derangement syndrome, because I hear a story like this and I think it is so funny.
22:53It's almost like he intentionally threw this out to occupy all the media, occupy all the left to the
23:00point where you have like otherwise supposedly serious news organizations doing a countdown clock
23:06from when they finished the pool to the doing, going out, doing algae tests. And what they've done
23:13is they've set created a kids table for all of these people while the rest of us are over here
23:19talking about like, I don't know, preventing World War four with a nuclear weapon. It is amazing. But
23:25at the same time, I love that analogy. These guys missed the border. Yeah. They missed the victims
23:31of illegal gang members, women who were raped and murdered. They missed the entire COVID crime cover
23:38up, which right now is exploding. I think, you know, algae is the perfect analogy of left-wing
23:44politics. You can't, you can get rid of it and make things beautiful, but it's going to grow back.
23:51And so you kind of have to constantly battle it because it lives off the things that you make.
23:56If there was no reflecting pool, there would have been no algae. If there was no lawn,
24:00there would have been no 8647. If there was no wealth and prosperity, there would be no socialism.
24:05So you see how they all have to depend on people making and creating things in order for it to
24:11survive. It must be weird to hate nice things because people you hate like the nice things.
24:18If Trump said, I love food, would these idiots starve themselves to death? Maybe as an experiment,
24:24he should come out against rat poison just to see if they would sprinkle it on their oatmeal.
24:30You know, now they embrace algae. They embrace vandalism because it's anti-Trump,
24:36but that is nothing new. They've embraced vandalism before. They've torn down statues.
24:40The old line, if Trump, you know, if Trump cured cancer, they'd call it an attack on funeral homes.
24:48Dana, I don't know what to make of all of this.
24:50Oh, you don't?
24:51I have no idea.
24:53I have a feeling you know exactly what to make of all of it.
24:55No, I really don't. I have no idea whether it was a botched job or it wasn't a botched job.
25:00I actually think it's even more simple than that. Okay, let's back up. I lived there a long time.
25:04I used to go when I used to run. I don't even run errands anymore, but pretty much when you
25:10go by
25:10all of these beautiful monuments in Washington, you see for a long time, they were, there's weeds
25:16growing, not homeless people around. Like, it's not nice. And the pool, the pond has had a lot of
25:22algae for many years. And at least President Trump was like, this place is a dump. I want to make
25:28it
25:28all look better. So he's putting time and effort into it. Now, I think there's nothing wrong with
25:32saying, well, shoot, that didn't work. Part of the problem is you have the water that comes in,
25:38comes from the tidal basin. Where's the tidal basin water come from? The Potomac. What happened in
25:42the Potomac? Just like six months ago. This is what I would have said. But what did we have?
25:47We had the Maryland and Virginia with that little, whatchamacallit thing, the water deal. They didn't
25:52deal with it right. And then all the pollution went into the Potomac. And now that's the one that
25:56goes in there. Now, I think there's nothing wrong with saying, well, that didn't work, but we're
26:00going to get it right. Let's drain it one more time. Let's do it one more time. We're going to
26:03do it
26:03one more time and see if we can make it work. And there would be nothing wrong with that.
26:07President Trump is blessed with the worst opposition, right? They love to come out and they want to
26:12dress up and they want to do all of these pictures. They want to go there. They couldn't even send
26:16a
26:17single reporter to the border when Bill Volusion was there for months showing them all of these
26:21stories. That said, this is an administration who has not been shy about showing us the evidence
26:28that they have against people who did something wrong. For example, the guy who threw the sandwich
26:35at the ICE officer. We saw that. That video was available. I will be open-minded. I would love to
26:41see
26:42some more evidence before I'm willing to buy that it was vandalism. I think that the dirty water in
26:47the Potomac, which you could trace, if you want to blame somebody, you could trace it back. You
26:51could find a way to do that. Or you could just say, let's just fix it. We have 4th of
26:55July coming
26:55up and we want it to look beautiful. I love that. Blame it on the E. coli that Democrat politicians
27:00allowed in the river. All right. Jesse, go back to Joy Reid. Do you think all black people hate the
27:084th of July? No. They love it. She says she celebrates Juneteenth. That's her real 4th of
27:15July. I don't even believe that. I celebrate Juneteenth. I was off on Juneteenth. She worked
27:22on Juneteenth. So I don't even buy it on the reflecting pool. Trump said that they have
27:30evidence of someone slicing and dicing the bottom of the pool. And that evidence will be shown in
27:36court. And that we have made 5 arrests. 5 individuals are under investigation. And I'm
27:42waiting to see the video evidence of it. Or they botched the redo. Okay. Either way, this is all you
27:50got on this guy. You guys couldn't even build a charging station. That's true.
27:55Like, Obama's library. Have you seen that? It was like, 20 years, a billion dollar later,
28:01and they stiffed the black contractors. And it looks like garbage, Jessica. And, oh, oh my God.
28:08Liberals would never vandalize public works. Did you see BLM, the statues, the graffiti? Go to Skid Row.
28:18I mean, you guys are disgusting. You guys make a job out of destroying cities. Look at Penn Station.
28:27It's a horrible place to be. And you're pointing a finger at a pool he's trying to make better?
28:32Come on, Jessica. But liberals built Moynihan Station, which is train paradise.
28:37It is beautiful. It is beautiful. Okay. The reason, and I'm not pro-wearing, like, frog costumes or whatever,
28:48like, people should work more and whatever. But the reason that the pool matters to people,
28:54putting aside someone who might have your odd case of TDS, is that Trump came out and said,
29:02Obama, Biden, none of them, none of them can make it nice. I make everything nice. I'm the
29:05best builder in the whole world. And guess what? His pool is full of algae, too. Right? So he bragged
29:11about how it was impossible for anyone but him. He alone can fix it. Well, obviously not.
29:16Have you seen the murder rate in D.C.?
29:18Just keep deflecting. Number two reason.
29:20How is that deflecting? I'm just asking. You're talking about algae, not murder.
29:23And it's not deflecting. They are arresting people on fake vandalism charges like the Subway
29:32Sandwich Man. And it is going to end up... Well, the guy, the Subway Sandwich, the guy did
29:36actually throw the Subway Sandwich. But it wasn't, he wasn't going to be thrown in jail for it.
29:39Well, I didn't know, but I saw the evidence. But do you think actually Trump called up the...
29:43I think that he... Trump heard...
29:45You need to go and arrest the guy in the bike shorts.
29:47I think that someone told him... By the way, and the guy in the bike shorts, you should think,
29:51you would think a three-time Olympian, a canoeist. There's David...
29:55Not a canoeist. A canoeist.
29:57Oh, my God. That changes everything. Get me on the canoeist association line.
30:01I think that someone showed him pictures, Natalie Harp, or whoever it is, and it's like,
30:06look what they're doing to your pool. The third element that matters in this, and it is so
30:10unsurprising, is that the money spent on this went to no-bid contracts. Again, one of which
30:16to one of Donald Trump's big donors.
30:18You should have given it to an indigenous contractor.
30:20No, you should give it...
30:21And now it would have taken a year.
30:22There are pool people who are posting on social...
30:25No, not transgender pool people. Those are the people that deserve it.
30:28You're right. You should just give a contract to all of your friends so you can have
30:31a pool covered in algae.
30:33But the waterway still comes in the Potomac.
30:35Fine. And it's all Wes Moore's fault, right? Isn't that where we're going with this?
30:40No, but I like that.
30:42And the guy that got arrested in the bike shorts, all I'm going to say is the canoeist,
30:48the Olympic canoeist who got arrested in his bike shorts, Donald Trump does a much better mugshot.
30:54I would far rather have Trump's mugshot than that. All right. Coming up, the Times goes trans
31:01for Father's Day.
31:06Times had a rather odd way to celebrate Father's Day.
31:09They published an opinion guest essay titled,
31:11To My Daughter, My Gender Was Never Complicated.
31:15The comic style essay was written by a biological woman who identifies as male
31:19and describes the experience of becoming a trans dad,
31:21including a conversation with the author's daughter with quotes like these.
31:25How long did you have breasts for, dad?
31:28How did you grow a mustache if you're a lady?
31:30You can't grow a beard. You're a girl.
31:32And the daughter replies,
31:34My dad did, and he was a girl.
31:37And of course, there you have the little drawings that went along with it.
31:41It's still, it's always 2020 at the New York Times, Greg.
31:44It's amazing.
31:45You know what? I think this is beautiful.
31:48There must have been hundreds of thousands of readers who said,
31:52wow, this captures my Father's Day to a T.
31:55This is exactly like my experience at home.
31:58No, this is like one of the, this is a one-to-one editorial.
32:01It pleases only the person doing it.
32:04It was a huge virtue signal for, to make you look good.
32:08Look how smart and open-minded my daughter is.
32:11Of course, what they wouldn't do is a Mother's Day version of this.
32:15My mommy is my daddy because that's a little bit creepier.
32:19They, the, it's interesting how in this day and age,
32:23the female to male trans doesn't get any press
32:27because they're not the ones committing the crimes.
32:29We just got a New Hampshire Democrat who's going away for 35 years,
32:34a transsexual, actually just a guy in a dress, for child porn.
32:38You're watching the amount of crime that's going on in prisons
32:41from male to female sexual felons going into jails.
32:46You're seeing these crimes being, being documented by Redux every day.
32:51So this is like still considered like, okay, but it's still just 2020.
32:57It's like they, they're absolutely, this is like for them to feel,
33:01oh, I'm so open-minded.
33:02Why not do it from the perspective of the child?
33:05Maybe the child should be talking and not the mommy.
33:09Charlie, you've been an editor.
33:11And so if somebody came, put yourself in that editor's shoes and said,
33:16yeah, this sounds like a great idea.
33:17We'll run it on Father's Day.
33:19Yeah.
33:20And you know that I don't, there aren't,
33:22I don't think that this speaks to a lot of people.
33:24I don't think there are a lot of people out there going,
33:26oh, this is.
33:26How do you know?
33:27This is something.
33:28And one weird part of it, like, why is it in a cartoon form?
33:32I, I, and I don't know what the answer,
33:33but it's just kind of weird.
33:34Why it's the New York Times newspaper.
33:36That's a good point.
33:36Why is it in a cartoon?
33:38Interestingly, the cartoonist claims that the cartoonist talked to the cartoonist's daughter
33:45and that the daughter thinks that all this is totally normal.
33:48And I'm like, I don't know that I trust your reporting
33:52that the daughter thinks that this is totally normal.
33:55Maybe the daughter does, but maybe the daughter does because you're with the daughter.
34:00I don't know.
34:01But it, it is, but I love that they go out
34:05and they do things like they turn over rotten logs to look at termites
34:09and they feed the ducks and I, you know, who's not confused about all this called science?
34:13It's the ducks and the termites.
34:15They're not confused by this.
34:16The only person who's confused about this is the, is the poor daughter.
34:20And maybe the dad, father, mother, whatever.
34:25Jessica?
34:28It didn't speak to me personally.
34:31You know, and it's not, I think if you surveyed a good chunk of transgender people,
34:38they would not think that this helps, right?
34:40I mean, not that they would necessarily say, I hate this or make fun of it.
34:46But, you know, when you are in a position where you feel like you are really fighting
34:51for your life and for your identity and to be able to freely exist in society,
34:56this kind of thing does not help.
34:59Jesse, are they really fighting for their life?
35:01I'm just waiting for that data.
35:02But go ahead.
35:03Well, yeah.
35:04Because that's part of the, that's part of the hoax.
35:08And a transsexual and a transgender person are very different things.
35:12And there is a heightened level of violence against transgender people.
35:15Jesse, would you like to weigh in on our lower third that our producers produce perfectly?
35:20So I had a normal father's day.
35:22I played golf with my kids.
35:23I didn't talk to them about breast implants.
35:26My daughter said something really strange today.
35:29She goes, you better watch out.
35:31You better not cry.
35:32Santa Claus is going to hit you.
35:35And I had to talk about, like, Santa doesn't hit.
35:38What are we dealing with here?
35:40Kids are very confused enough.
35:43And, like, we can't introduce women with mustaches.
35:47Right?
35:48It's just, like, it's already confusing.
35:51Okay.
35:51I think I speak for all of you.
35:54Coming up, Gen Z is rehearsing for romance.
36:01The hottest new dating trend for Gen Z.
36:03A growing number of young New Yorkers and Zoomers nationwide are admitting they're going on, quote, practice dates with potential
36:10suitors they don't find attractive.
36:12All in the name of becoming better daters.
36:16And I feel like they also just want dinner.
36:18Well, we've done that story before.
36:20And I do think that there might be a little bit of that.
36:22I think if you don't think that somebody is attractive and you, I think that it's wrong, Ben, to go
36:28on a date with them because you're wasting that person's time and money.
36:30If you think you need practice going on dates, I guess just say yes to the ones that you match
36:36with and don't waste other people's time.
36:39I don't know how to date.
36:40It's been 30 years.
36:42Greg, attraction can grow, though.
36:44I feel like you go.
36:45It certainly can.
36:46I mean, I've never had this problem being a strong 9.7.
36:50But, you know what?
36:50There is no Gandhi for the homely, and I've said that many times.
36:54And until we have a movement for the unattractive, we're still all going to be treated like crap.
36:59Now, dates aren't practiced.
37:01They're recitals.
37:02That's when people show up at their very best to trick you into going to bed with them, and it's
37:07wrong.
37:08And then after each subsequent date, you get less and less perfect until you're the real you, and you're like
37:16algae.
37:16I haven't thought about it.
37:17Yeah.
37:18So you're just crawling around in 20 years.
37:20So I think the first thing, the date you should come out as the real you.
37:25Be as offensive as possible.
37:27And then if they fall in love with you, you're set.
37:30Is that how you got Emma?
37:33I got Emma differently.
37:35Yeah.
37:36You let the air out of her tires.
37:38I heard that.
37:39I wasn't going to say it, but it's not true.
37:43I know.
37:43I'm kidding.
37:44You know what happens with practice dates?
37:46They lead to practice sex.
37:47And you can't take a girl out as practice.
37:53She's not going to agree to that.
37:54All right?
37:55Trust me.
37:56I've tried it.
37:57I've tried everything.
37:58It doesn't work.
38:00Charlie, 10 seconds.
38:00I've always told my kids that you take advantage of every job interview.
38:04So I would think it would be the same thing.
38:06There's no such thing as a bad job interview.
38:08Sexy interview.
38:09That's what it is.
38:09One more thing's up next.
38:16One more thing.
38:17I go first.
38:18Tonight, we got a great show.
38:19Cat Tip, Adam Hunter, Aaron McGuire, Joe Mackey.
38:22You, Jesse, go.
38:23All right.
38:24Broke up over the weekend.
38:25It was a doozy.
38:27There are the champions.
38:28Sadowski and the Albanian sensation.
38:31Orgy of khakis.
38:33PG and I took them.
38:35The original broke up.
38:36The tournament within the tournament.
38:38Too bad for Felice and Rocco.
38:39Tonight, Jesse Watters primetime.
38:41Johnny at the Mermaid Parade.
38:44Iran recently got a new Ayatollah.
38:47Ayatollah, no.
38:48But there's good news.
38:49This Ayatollah is gay.
38:51Oh, I like that.
38:52Okay, I like that.
38:53She likes that.
38:54Wow.
38:55We're just waiting on that evidence, too.
38:57Dana.
38:58You got eight seconds.
38:59I did my podcast today with Mary Catherine Hamm.
39:02Perino on politics.
39:02Find it anywhere.
39:03Have a great night.
39:05Hi, Greg.
39:07You know, you always...
