Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hi, I'm Greg Gutfeld, along with Emily Capagno, Harold Ford Jr., Joey Jones. And to stay fit, she runs laps around a bottle cap. Dana Prino, The Five. Fox News alert. Day 18 of the search for Nancy Guthrie and investigators are hunting down new leads after hitting a DNA roadblock. Matt Finn is in Tucson with more. Hey, Matt.
Hey, Greg, we're about an easy 90-minute drive north of Mexico, so it would be impossible to ignore a scenario where maybe Mexico or the cartel is involved. But so far, Sheriff Nanos tells us he is not aware of any direct link to Mexico. A single federal source tells Fox Digital that the FBI is in communication with Mexican officials. in relation to the Nancy Guthrie case.
And a short while ago, I was told that it is standard procedure for the FBI to be in contact with their counterparts in Mexico on cases like this, that the FBI has likely been in touch with Mexico since the start, as this is so close to the border.
So there's a lot of theories and some reporting that the kidnapping or alleged ransom notes may have placed Nancy or the suspect south of the border, but nothing has been validated. Also, there's been so much speculation about the relationship between the Sheriff Nanos and the FBI. The sheriff tells Fox News that they are getting along well.
The FBI has previously told us they're in the command center together. And I was just told a short while ago again that these agencies are getting along just fine on the ground.
Greg. Matt, thank you. And now to the beta who cried censorship. CBS flat out denied that they forced Stephen Colbert to not air an interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Tallarico, saying, quote, The show has provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal time rule for two other candidates, including Jasmine Crockett.
and presented options for how the equal time for other candidates could be fulfilled. It sounds pretty reasonable, but Colbert would rather milk the phony outrage before CBS turns off the studio lights for good.
We looked and we can't find one example of this rule being enforced for any talk show interview, not only for my entire late night career, but for anyone's late night career going back to the 1960s. For the record, I'm not even mad. I really don't want an adversarial relationship with the network.

Chapter 2: What are the latest updates in the search for Nancy Guthrie?
I've never had one. I'm just so surprised that this giant global corporation would not stand up to these bullies. I don't even know what to do with this crap.
Oh, hold on.
It's late night comedy, everybody. But is Colbert just afraid of a strong black woman becoming a senator? Well, Jazzy Crockett says the interview drama gave her opponent, James Tallarico, a boost. And she doesn't buy Colbert's BS.
We did receive information suggesting that... The federal government did not shut down this segment. It is our understanding that Colbert, either Mr. Colbert or CBS, decided that they just didn't want to hear it. And this was because of a fear that the FCC may say something to them and that there may have been advice to just have me on and then they could clear the issue.
You know, Dana, I think it's a blessing that we led this show with this segment because that means nothing bad happened today. I was just thinking if this is a battle that we're actually having to fight in America today, then you know what? We're probably doing all right. Go ahead. Go ahead. But this is what happens when you fire somebody but let him hang around. You don't let him hang around.
It's like the people who divorce but decide to like split the house. And so like she's going to stay upstairs and he's going to take the basement. And the kids are like they're in the mezzanine going, where do we go? Yeah. You got to go hiking. Yeah. Never go hiking with your spouse. Anyway, this story is kind of unintentionally funny.
So it started with Trump doesn't want you to see this interview. But it was actually more that regular Democrats or there's a section like that. Democrats like Colbert, they don't want Jasmine Crockett to do well in the primary. And that's fine. Why is it different for those networks versus us? Because 1934, a law passed.
If you're over the public airwaves, you have to give some public equal time for candidates.

Chapter 3: How is the FBI collaborating with local law enforcement in the Guthrie case?
It's never been tested in the court of law. Colbert was right about that. Well, maybe in the court of law, but never gone to the Supreme Court. But the other thing that's happening is that I think at CBS, they are trigger happy lawyers. And then you had Colbert, who's like, I could figure out a way to get some attention for this. The beneficiary in all of it is this guy, James Tallarico.
His fundraising went through the roof. He got a lot more attention than he ever would have if this interview had gone just on air and it was fine. And maybe have Jasmine Crockett on next week. Who would have cared? Yeah, that is so true. In fact, Harold, in the green room, you were telling me that this was a choreographed hoax to get people to watch.
Otherwise, they never would have watched Colbert. And this would help the Democrats. That's exactly what you said. That is. I can't believe you remembered it so, so perfectly. Good to be with everybody. I think Dana's Dana's Dana's largely, if not altogether. Right. I think that the young guy, Tallarico, probably benefited.
From people not not being on a show, more people have learned about this and whether they process it and digest it the way you've just shared data that they're Democrats who want Tallarico or they're Republicans who may be concerned that he would be a stronger candidate, whatever the narrative is. I think he benefited. He benefited largely.
If I could say 10 seconds on the Guthrie matter out in Arizona, it is amazing to me. I think one of you reported last week that Pima County, I hope I'm pronouncing the county correctly, is geographically as large as Connecticut and Rhode Island combined. Number one. Number two, I'm hopeful that.
This is what they're saying now that they've reached out because, Greg, you were the one that posited the idea very early on that we should be thinking about cartels or others in this ordeal, this kidnapping.
Obviously, I'm close to the situation, and I'm just hopeful that they've been watching, that they've been actually thinking about this and pursuing this longer than just what they've said here in the last day or so.
Mm-hmm.
So are you suggesting Colbert is involved in the kidnapping? I'm sorry. Emily. Emily, I guess I don't find this story the least bit interesting, except how these late night comedy shows have strayed so far from the premise of late night comedy that they're not even trying. Now it's just these stunts, these to stoke some kind of melodrama.

Chapter 4: What controversy surrounds Stephen Colbert's interview with James Tallarico?
getting Tallarico out there, and then be like, okay, we don't really want to do Jasmine Crockett. Do a pre-tape with her, and then put it on two minutes at the end. And the other thing is, if they're attorneys, if they're listening, because attorneys, we know them, they're always risk adverse. They are always going to say, oh, you guys, be careful.
Such jerks, right?
I know, we all are. But, like, I see this as just sort of clearly their jelly need about it. And then Jasmine Crockett comes out, and she's just really annoyed because Tallarico raised $2.5 million in 24 hours. So the lesson about this is that there's ways that you can creatively be obedient to what your attorneys recommend.
And they could have said, great, here's X, Y, and Z. We comply with these laws, and everything's going to be great.
But then what do they do? They irritate everyone because of the outrage bump. You saw it with AOC wearing the Met Gala, you know, dress and Marjorie Taylor Greene when she got kicked off committee. If you say I've been censored, you will get a complete surge in donations.
I admire you for trying to make me interested in this story, but you failed. All right. Joey, you're the last person to make me interested in this. Is Colbert, as you claimed in the green room, racist and that he actually hates successful black women? That's what you said. I have it on tape. I stand by it. He was a Republican once or at least a caricature of one. Yes.
No, listen, I think you kind of nailed it when you were making fun of Harold just now and you were talking for him and you said or poking at Harold. I mean, then you said that you said it was a big conspiracy, kind of like a charade. I mean, what did it do? It made a guy as boring as watching paint dry. Interesting for a day.
It gave CBS a little bit of headline, made them look good to the Trump administration, made Colbert interesting enough for a day. I mean, who's the real loser here other than Jasmine Crockett, who gets to play victim and then win something of her own? There really isn't a loser here. So I don't know that it was orchestrated, but I don't think anyone has their feelings hurt over it.
And I don't think it's a controversy. I think it gave James Tallarico an opportunity to look like anything other than like a dollar store Beto. Very good. Well, I hope the audience will join us later for an eight-part investigation on this. It will be on Fox Nation simulcast on YouTube and on our local Fox affiliates. I thought that was a ten-parter. It's only eight? Only eight.

Chapter 5: How does the equal time rule affect late-night talk shows?
Filet. You know, despite being flush with cash, the cities are in a toilet. But Trump will drain the swamp. And for that, he deserves a turd term. Look, this is one of those moments where God conflates reality and analogy, right? Used to say D.C. is like a swamp. No, it literally is a swamp. Jerry Nadler must be ecstatic. He can now blame all of the odors on the river. Not my pants. Not my pants.
You know what's crazy? You need the highest income in the country. to live in the D.C. area. Did you see that study that came out? You have all these government officials, these government hacks, these politicians, and somehow people can afford extravagant homes. We're paying trillions in taxes and we get nothing. This is what I think. It's like, where does this money go?
So you have people living in million-dollar homes in and around this area, but you have raw sewage in this scenic river. And I go back to this observation that I've had, and maybe I brought it up here, but whenever I land in any mid-sized city or suburb or whatnot for a live show and I'm driving, I don't really drive. My driver's doing this. Yeah.
I'm looking out the window and I see rows of businesses that nobody is populating, but they're not out of business. They're just these businesses. You see this whenever you go to like whether you're coming into Memphis or Minneapolis or Reno. And then I start hearing about all of this. unrestrained fraud, the Somalian daycares, the home health care stuff in California.
And I'm starting to think, is that is there like this invisible trillion dollar fraudulent economy that that that is a that is fed by the government? It's like our money. And it creates this whole underground, because now all of these things that I see when I'm driving like cars,
Those are those are making money, but nobody's going in them because they're taking like 20 percent of our tax, which is I don't know how many we spent with five trillion. You know, they get a couple of trillion a year. That's huge. That's the amazing thing, though, in Minnesota. All of that talk we've done. I saw the reporting. I think the young man that uncovered this.
There's not been one person indicted. Well, there's been some people arrested. There's been some people already.
Yes.
Yes, there has been a lady in jail. There's not one person that's been indicted on stealing these federal funds in Minnesota. I'd love to be corrected. Alexis McAdams interviewed her. There was a wave of it a couple of years ago. There hasn't been anything new. I see your point. There should be more. I want everybody.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the sewage crisis in Washington D.C.?
Anyway, I'll be done now. All right, Dana. Okay, so for the last several days, my algorithm has been feeding me stories about this monkey. And I have fallen in love. His name is Punch. He's a baby monkey born in Japan in a zoo there. And his mother didn't want anything to do with him. She was like, nope. And so he was totally rejected.
So they gave him this little stuffed monkey that he carried around with him everywhere. And people have just been falling in love with him. And he's super cute. I have good news. He has now been adopted by another monkey, and she's grooming him, and he's got friends. Yay. I guess you're pro-grooming now, Dana. Wow. Epstein Files. Harold. For his first time at St.
Patrick's Cathedral here in New York, Archbishop Hicks led the Ash Wednesday services. I was not part of the morning services, but I got my ashes there this morning. Thank you, sir. Marking the start of Lent today in a season of reflection, repentance, and renewal. God bless you. All right, Joey. Yeah, this is really important news.
So for the 42nd time, this mountain called Kaluuya eruption, it ended. But this is cool. So it covered 50% of the crater with a 1,300-foot fountain of lava. Hey, Emily. Go Team USA! Men's hockey just beat Sweden in the quarterfinals 2-1.
Keep watching. Go Team USA!
