Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, everybody. I'm Jesse Waters, along with Brian Kilmeade, Jessica Tarlov, Dana Perino, and Greg Gutfeld. It's 5 o'clock in New York City, and this is The Five. This isn't your grandfather's woke Vanity Fair is declaring that woke is back and meaner than ever. They call it woke 2.0. It's focused less on resistance style online posts and more on street level chaos.
Case in point, the whistle mommies of Minneapolis have a chop style zone. And like trolls under a bridge, they're setting up checkpoints to stop cars, harass drivers, checking license plates to make sure they aren't ICE agents. Why do they feel so emboldened? Well, maybe it's because Democrats keep calling ICE agents thugs.
They are just thugs running through our streets, and we have to figure out what we can do to stop them.
The greatest threat to the homeland right now is for the Department of Homeland Security.
The attacks on American citizens by masked hoodlums. If you were attacked by a masked person, you might think you were being kidnapped. You'd be justified in shooting the person. But we see people being shot for what? For driving a car?
We see people, we see these, the ice goons break into people's homes without a warrant.
And the media is doing their part. Check out this story.

Chapter 2: What does 'woke' mean in today's context?
CNN glorified two homeschooled Chicago teenagers who were, quote, trained ice watchers in Minneapolis. Speaking of CNN, the network's disgraced former anchor, Don Lemon, took his pity toward a Kimmel to moan about how unfairly he's been treated after being arrested for storming a church in St. Paul. Listen. I'm not a protester. I went there to be a journalist.
I went there to chronicle and document and record what was happening. I was following that one group around. And so that's what I did. I reported on them.
And so but I do think that there is a difference between a protester and a journalist. They want to embarrass you. They want to intimidate you.
Chapter 3: How are the 'whistle mommies' in Minneapolis influencing local dynamics?
They want to instill fear. And so that's why they did it that way.
Greg, did you watch Kimmel interview Don Lemon last night? No, I had better things to do, like scraping my eyes out. You know what it is? Okay, number one, I'm tired of hearing people add 2.0 to things. You know, like kill me 2.0. What does that mean?
It's never been said, but I know what you mean. You know what I mean.
But I feel like Woke is like a bar that was hip for a couple of years. Then it got a bad reputation. The drinks were watered down. The people who worked there were rude and drugged out. And then customers just left.
Chapter 4: Why do some groups feel empowered to confront law enforcement?
except for the hardcore derelicts that have nowhere else to go. That's today's wokeism. It's the worst of the worst. They don't have anywhere else to go. Even companies with DEI are not going to hire somebody from Antifa. That is why none of these people have jobs. So woke isn't back. It never left in the 90s and the 2000s.
You called it politically correct, which dissipated and then again left that concentrated, reduced matter, which then became woke. And then now you have this stuff and it's alarming because. People keep trying to redefine it, and yet what you're redefining is actually just a more demented version of what you already rejected, and it goes even back further.
If you go back to the revolutions, the Bolsheviks, a radical minority trying to impose their will and power on the majority, and they can only do that through fear, intimidation, organized violence, oppression, and the way they often do that is they use women and children. Why? Because children don't know any better, and it's frightening to see it happen.
And women can have their compassion and their emotions hijacked, and they're often the most passionate revolutionaries. I mean, the Manson family, those murders were done by young women who believed in a cause. And when you talk to them, they don't even know why. Last point is what's striking about the Democrat Party is that they're willing to risk a civil war over this.
They are pushing for the war. They want the Fort Sumter, as Walt said. So why did the Dems trigger the Civil War in 1861? It was to continue slavery, and here it's to continue illegal immigration. There's something about Democrats and cheap labor. They love to control the poor and put them to work. In South Carolina, it was slaves.
In Minneapolis, it's 130,000 illegals, except now they don't just want their labor. They want their vote. CNN glorifying these two kids in like subzero temperature stain, blowing whistles at cops. It's kind of propaganda. It's also sort of weird to have in your subhead basically asking teenagers if taking action like this, the subhead says, and they will never regret it.
You think maybe let's see how that goes when, as you were pointing out, like who's hiring these people that are being caught as a part of the protest. The Democrats have this incredible tendency to overread political wins.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of ICE operations on communities?
And so, yes, there were changes that happened in Minneapolis because of actions that were taken by Border Patrol that has been overall branded with an umbrella as anti ice. And you see that there is enough. Problem that the president says, OK, I'm going to make a change. He makes a change and the Democrats automatically think, oh, everybody's for what I'm for now. And it's maddening.
And they do this to themselves over and over again. And then they overpromise to their voters. For example, with the shutdown thing, they're like, we're going to shut down ICE. Well, guys, actually, ICE is already funded through 2029. They overpromise to their voters and then they under deliver.
And what you find is that, yes, maybe there are some independents in America who are saying, yeah, I can't be for this. That's not what I voted for. I'm willing to look at the Democrats. And then when you look deeper into the polling and you see that still the Democrats are not trusted on the main issues that people care about the most, the economy being the first. Don Lemon.
I don't think you've you've weighed in on on Don Lemon, Jessica. Do you think he's being unfairly targeted by the Justice Department?
Well, a magistrate judge and another judge both wouldn't take it up.
Not true.
Okay.
Second judge said they could move forward.
Okay. All right, so just one big rejection, and then somebody else who said we could move forward with it. Sure, we'll see where it goes. He'll have his day in court, I guess, if it gets there. I think that this is another case of personal vendetta.

Chapter 6: How has the perception of 'woke' evolved from the 90s to now?
But here's the problem. Woke 2 is not growing past the nucleus. No one is jumping on the Woke 2 bandwagon like they jumped on Woke 1. As they say here, it is now darker and more foreboding since the fatal shootings. Yeah. But people are saying, hey, within reason, Minneapolis, you might be upset by the two shootings and there should be investigation and there will be.
Tom Homan comes in to moderate things and he will actually do that. And he has been doing that. But the target of ICE ridiculing the entire organization, these are American citizens who are law enforcement. And you think you're going to get away by saying it's to fund the police. Let's abolish ICE, abolish the police. Americans are not for any of those things.
And I think we're seeing the play out right now. All right. Thank you. Fox News Alert. Police giving an update earlier today on the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of today's show anchor Savannah Guthrie. Jonathan Hunt is in Tucson with the latest. Jonathan.
Jesse, we got very few answers to the many questions today surrounding the abduction of Nancy Guthrie from the sheriff at a rather bizarre press conference, for instance. He was asked if he believed the 84-year-old was taken from her home here in Tucson by one or more people. His answer, quote, no clue. He was asked if he believes that investigators are searching for someone who is still alive.
His answer, quote, we hope we are. Now, the sheriff did confirm that they have found DNA on the property, Nancy Guthrie's home, but he did not confirm the reporting of Fox Digital that that DNA is comprised of blood drops. The sheriff did say, though, the only match they have so far found to any DNA found is
at the crime scene is to nancy guthrie herself he said job number one for them now is to start from the beginning when nancy guthrie was last seen that according to a family member who dropped her at her home was around 9 30 p.m saturday night and he said we go from there as for the question of a ransom note tmz are reporting tonight along with at least one other local media outlet here

Chapter 7: What historical parallels are drawn with current political movements?
that they, TMZ, received a ransom note. It did, according to TMZ, include details that are not known publicly, such as what Nancy Guthrie was wearing when she was abducted. TMZ says they have forwarded that note to law enforcement. The Pima County Sheriff's Office behind me here just released a statement saying simply that they are aware of reports of a ransom note.
They are continuing to follow orders. All tips and leads. Jesse.
Thanks so much, Jonathan. Coming up, mountains of garbage, snow-choked sidewalks, and the homeless dying in the streets. New York City is in free fall under Zoran the Destroyer.
Don't leave me burning here.
This is Ainsley Earhart. Thank you for joining me for the 52-episode podcast series, The Life of Jesus.
A listening experience that will provide hope, comfort, and understanding of the greatest story ever told. Listen and follow now at foxnewspodcasts.com or wherever you listen to podcasts. Dirty snow. What do you do with this?
Actor Michael Rappaport saying what a lot of New Yorkers are thinking right now. Locals are furious over Mayor and Zoran Mamdani's slow and poor snow and garbage cleanup more than a week since the monster storm. And that's not the worst of it. The mayor announcing 16 homeless people died outside in the freezing cold during the Arctic deep freeze, 13 of hypothermia, three of overdose deaths.
Now you have critics blaming Mamdani's decision just weeks ago. to tell cops and sanitation workers to stop clearing up homeless encampments. But Zoran says none of the victims were found in encampments. Here's the mayor today telling reporters he did everything he could.
Outreach teams have traversed the city, making every possible effort to bring vulnerable and homeless New Yorkers in from the cold. We have now made more than 980 placements into shelters and safe havens since Monday the 19th. The number of New Yorkers who have passed away during this code blue remains at 16. That does not mean that the danger, however, has passed.

Chapter 8: How are Democrats perceived in relation to immigration and labor?
Probably.
You know what I'm struck at, Dana? I'm struck about how many critics he has on his own side. The Queensborough president wants some electricity. You have the city councilman, Savannah Hyniff of Brooklyn, also wants 2,000. She's one of 2,000 in Park Slope where socialists live, I guess. With 2,000 without power, they're also hoping for some relief. in Brooklyn from Chai Osi.
Are you surprised so many people that supported Mondami are quick to criticize him one month in? No, because this is all that really matters when you're in leadership is the competence of the quality of life. This is the main thing. This is the main thing. And if you can't get the main thing done right, you'll never be forgiven. Ask Bill de Blasio.
In his first week or two on the job, when he first became mayor, there was a huge snowstorm here in New York. He never recovered. Remember all those streets that never got plowed? He forgot to close the schools. And then when they closed the schools, it was too late for the kids to get home. Now, I know that it's been super cold and it's hard to get this stuff to melt and that he's got a problem.
But he's the one who said he could do everything. So if you cannot do the basics here, it's very unlikely that the people are going to support you when you come up with free grocery stores.
Jessica, bad start?
So I thought that the first few weeks were actually going quite well with the universal childcare rollout. And he's, you know, he's out there and he's communicating also the videos about the summer programs. And I thought it was actually a very good start. This storm has been terrible and the cold. And I don't know what another mayor would have done necessarily differently.
I think it does matter that the people who died didn't die in the homeless encampments, which he's being yelled about. And there are people who work in the homeless community or saying that you absolutely have to expand the outreach hours, that they have to be going overtime. It has to be a 24-hour cycle that people are going around.
They have these mobile heating units that people can come into to get warm if they don't want to go into the shelter system. So I'm not ready to go to, you know, it's been bad, but obviously there could be huge improvement. But one thing that I think could really improve the quality of life is if people would actually help out in their own communities in the city.
