00:00Hello, everybody. I'm Jesse Waters, along with Kennedy, Harold Ford Jr., Dana Perino, and Greg Gutfeld.
00:06It's 5 o'clock in New York City, and this is The Five.
00:14Democrats are ready to throw down to protect the bad hombres.
00:18Tough-talking libs are rushing to defend the Demsurrectionist trio who stormed that New Jersey ice facility
00:24that holds suspected murderers, child rapists, and MS-13 gangbangers.
00:28Homeland Security says more arrests are coming, but now Hakeem and AOC are warning everyone
00:35not to lay a finger on their crew, or else.
00:39What happens if they were to go and arrest these members, or if they were to try to sanction them during the House of Representatives?
00:44They'll find out.
00:45What would you do?
00:46They'll find out. It's a red line. It's very clear.
00:49No one's intimidated by this dude. No one.
00:51And so, there are clear lines that they just dare not cross.
01:01You lay a finger on someone, on Representative Bonnie Watson Coleman, on Representative, or any of the representatives that were there,
01:11you lay a finger on them, we are going to have a problem.
01:14But before there was the New Jersey Ice Center, there was the Maryland dad, DHS Secretary Christy Noem,
01:20on Capitol Hill, smacking Fang Fang's ex-lover for playing a gotcha on Abrego Garcia.
01:27Madam Secretary, you agree that the letters MS and the number 13 in Times Roman numeral font,
01:36that they are doctored on this photo, right?
01:40Congressman Abrego Garcia.
01:42No, no, I'm just asking about this photo.
01:43It wasn't based off of tattoos. It was based off an entire case.
01:47And I'll accept it. I want you to have credibility, and I want you to be taken seriously.
01:51Is this doctored, or is it not doctored?
01:52Sir, I am taken quite seriously.
01:54Madam Secretary, I have a seven-year-old, a six-year-old, and a three-year-old.
01:57I have a f*** detector. I'm just asking you, is this doctored or not doctored?
02:02Sir, the protocols in the case built against Abrego Garcia...
02:04Can you answer the question?
02:06...we're exactly the same.
02:07And we're getting a very big update for nobodies above the law crowd.
02:11A federal grand jury returning a two-count indictment against a Milwaukee County judge
02:15who allegedly helped an illegal immigrant evade ICE agents waiting to arrest him outside a courtroom.
02:22All right, Dana, the threats from Hakeem and AOC, are those credible threats?
02:28They are not, and this is what's pretty crazy.
02:30The leader of the Democratic Party on the House side, maybe Chuck Schumer, they could arm wrestle for it,
02:38but that's basically who they are, right?
02:39So they took the posture of threatening federal agents.
02:42Now, let's just posit that we have video.
02:47So normally, in a normal environment, you see one of your members attacking an ICE agent.
02:53You might say, I've instructed all members to follow the law.
02:57End of story.
02:58But instead, they want to basically take them on.
03:02And 90% of the country wants the illegal immigrants to get out.
03:05Maybe Hakeem Jeffries could take them aside and say, guys, this place has been open since 2014.
03:10None of you ever went there.
03:11Why?
03:12Why all of a sudden now, when this is the issue that President Trump actually succeeds on?
03:17Let's talk about inflation.
03:19Let's talk about those prices.
03:20He's not doing any of that.
03:21I think that he sounds very hollow.
03:23Pete Buttigieg yesterday, remember him?
03:25Mayor Pete, he was in Iowa yesterday.
03:27Why Iowa?
03:28Well, he wants to give a rally.
03:29In 2028, he's got it in his sights.
03:31The problem is, what he said about Abrego Garcia, you know, Maryland man, Maryland dad,
03:35he said, they're saying, like, oh, this guy is a criminal.
03:40No one person, least of all, no one politician, gets to decide that you are a criminal.
03:45Now, this is not a rally.
03:45Because he wants to be the president of the United States, and you have judges that make
03:50that determination all the time.
03:52Yes, one person, one man, one woman, gets to decide if you are a criminal.
03:56He came into the country illegally, and we know that that is a crime.
04:00If they don't agree that that's a crime, they should raise their hand and make that clear.
04:03And the other thing is, they're digging in on a serial domestic abuser.
04:07So, once again, the women aren't protected by the party.
04:11I think that Hakeem Jeffries gets it backwards, and they are really needing somebody like the
04:17Obama of 2008 to be like, who is the Obama of 2026 that is going to come forward?
04:24I'm not saying it's Michelle Obama.
04:25Don't get any ideas.
04:26Oh, I was just going to say that.
04:28Greg, how are the Democrats handling the issue of deportation?
04:31Not well.
04:34If they don't like this facility, there is a solution.
04:38They could take them into their homes.
04:40I mean, if you don't just pay lip service, do real service.
04:44You've got a sofa, bed somewhere in your house.
04:47Take in one of these gangbangers or alleged rapists and murderers.
04:52Show them where your heart is.
04:54Hakeem is like, I have to be honest here.
04:57I'm going to go purely superficial.
04:59He is the most unwell-looking political leader out there.
05:03The guy looks like he hasn't slept since 1989, but the worst part is he has nothing to show for it.
05:08Like, he's a great symbol for the Democrat Party.
05:11He looks tired.
05:11He's worn out.
05:13He's miserable, but he doesn't do anything.
05:16Now you compare that to Trump or Vance or Musk or RFK or Rubio.
05:21There's all this energy, yet they're rested and ready.
05:25They have a purpose.
05:26They've got foundational principles.
05:27They know what to do.
05:29And here they're walking tall.
05:31The Democrats are the walking dead.
05:34And the reason is this.
05:35Trump has squatted in the House of Common Sense and there's no room there for the Dems.
05:41They can't come home because they condemned what's in that house.
05:44They're like the college kid who renounces his capitalist parents and their heartless lifestyle.
05:50And so the parents cut him off.
05:52Where do you go?
05:53Where do you go?
05:54Well, you defend gangbangers.
05:56You defend trans athletes.
05:58You know, you martyr people who are criminals.
06:01Where the hell is Van Hollen?
06:04Did he go on tour?
06:05I mean, where is his wife beating bro?
06:09Like, remember how that was over all over the media every day and we were forced to cover it.
06:14And we knew the guy was a scumbag and also the gangbanger.
06:18And yet, you know, they're gone.
06:20They disappeared.
06:21It's like it never happened.
06:23Do you have any advice for the Democrats, Harold Ford Jr.?
06:26I do.
06:28Good to be with you, by the way.
06:30I hope so.
06:30I think we should stop falling into the trap, guys.
06:35I understand due process and I understand wanting to ensure that people are treated fairly.
06:41But at a time in which the Senate and the Congress, and particularly Republicans in the Senate and the Congress,
06:47are debating what the budget should look like next year,
06:50you have Republican senators arguing with Republican senators about Medicaid cuts.
06:54You have Republican congressmen arguing with Republican congressmen about who should have taxes cut for them
07:00and who should have taxes raised on them.
07:02Why we're not offering those things, I don't know.
07:05Again, I'm not suggesting at all that we shouldn't be protecting people's individual rights.
07:09But everyday Americans put Donald Trump in office because he wants to ensure that we're protected from gangbangers
07:17and criminals who happen to be here illegally.
07:19They also put him in office because they believed that he was going to revive and revitalize and rejuvenate the economy
07:25in ways that would help every American.
07:27And I contend he's not doing a great job there.
07:30I contend we should be offering ideas on how we reshore manufacturing to the country, not by using tariffs,
07:37how we can educate kids, how we can educate engineers and electricians.
07:41So when those jobs do come back, we're prepared.
07:44We need to be positive.
07:45This is exactly us falling into the trap that President Trump, and I would argue many on the Republican side who are political, want us to.
07:53Let's stop it.
07:54Get back to the issues.
07:56Democrats during the pandemic should have tried to break open schools that were closed.
08:01They shouldn't be trying to break open ICE facilities now.
08:03Don't get me started.
08:04I mean, the proof is in the pudding when you look at outcomes where there is school choice.
08:09And those are the kind of issues that nonpolitical parents have woken up to really, really care about.
08:15One of the other ones, unfortunately for Democrats, is immigration.
08:19And they look at this because it was the forgotten voter who was activated during the 2024 election cycle.
08:25The person who was like, well, they closed my COVID business.
08:27They kept my kid out of school.
08:29You know, my prices have gone up.
08:31George Clooney doesn't care.
08:32You know, he's endorsing a corpse until he decided that it wasn't politically convenient for him and the Democrat establishment.
08:41So they need to I think you're absolutely right.
08:44They need to refocus on those forgotten voters because they're like, you forgot about us.
08:49There's only so much political energy you have to spend.
08:53And they are spending it like attention tramps on this one issue at this one facility instead of putting out the kind of plan that Harold's talking about.
09:03Because all of that manufacturing, immigration, economics, that has been co-opted by the Republican Party.
09:10And if Republicans keep winning the way they have been the last two weeks and I mean the Trump administration specifically, watch Democrats numbers continue to go down because they are falling into the trap and they're pulling themselves further left, which means further off the cliff.
09:27And the fact that they don't recognize the rational play that they have to make right now to those rational vote or to those forgotten voters.
09:35I don't care.
09:36Shame on them.
09:36They don't deserve a spot on them.
09:39Shame on them.
09:39Shame.
09:39Shame.
09:40The Dems problem is they're in a woke crouch.
09:44Show them the crouch, Cheryl.
09:46Show them the crouch.
09:47That's what you're right.
09:48It's a woke crouch.
09:49I don't know that position.
09:50I never get in a crouch.
09:51No, you don't.
09:51It's not my move.
09:52It's hard on your knees.
09:53Just not on the shelf.
