Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, everyone. I'm Dana Perino, along with Kaylee McEnany, Kennedy, Jesse Waters and Greg Gutfeld. It's five o'clock in New York City, and this is The Five. And just moments from now, President Trump will join us live for an interview. And there are a lot of things to discuss, including the big news he just made about Iran.
The president announcing that he's extending his deadline by 10 days for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz before bombing their energy sites. He says talks are ongoing and going very well. Here he is earlier during his cabinet meeting.
But they're talking to us because they've got a disaster on their hands. They're defeated. They can't make a comeback. We're free to roam over there. cities and towns, and destroy all of their crazy nuclear weapons and missiles and drones that they're building. Oh, we're doing that. And they'll tell you, we're not negotiating. We will not negotiate. Of course they're negotiating.
Chapter 2: What are the key issues President Trump discusses regarding Iran?
They've been obliterated. Who wouldn't negotiate? They are begging to make a deal. You know, I told you about a present, right? They said to show you the fact that we're real and solid. And we're there. We're going to let you have eight boats of oil, eight boats, eight big boats of oil. This was two days ago. And they'll sail up tomorrow.
The reason they want to make a deal is they have been just beat to shit.
Meanwhile, CENTCOM announcing 10,000 Iranian targets have been struck since Epic Fury began and 92 percent of their large naval ships have been destroyed. But some Democrats feel like America is actually losing this war.
We are losing this war. If Trump were to stop the war tonight, he would have to negotiate with the Iranians to reopen the strait that they have closed. That's why he's begging. He's begging our greatest adversary. It's getting worse than better.
This is a really outrageous move he's making with no clear plan in terms of what we're trying to get out of this.
Not one more set for this reckless, illegal war that is making no one more safe and no one more free.
So, Jesse, the president talking for a long time during the cabinet meeting, laying it all out. Did he make a good case?
Yes, he did. And the extension of the deadline, I don't really put much stock into it. I've seen him do that before and then kaboom. But I would make an overture to the Iranians. I would do the deal. We had Jack Keane on last night and he said the United States military will secure the Strait by force and they will keep it open for as long as they have to.
That's why foreign navies are rallying to the region. That's why Marines, paratroopers are headed towards the theater. And that's why we've been softening up Karg Island and the coastline. And we just took out the Iranian straight commander yesterday. Securing the straight, Keen said, has been part of U.S. military planning for decades.

Chapter 3: How does President Trump characterize Iran's military capabilities?
It's a little soon to be talking about the fact that we're losing this war. Also, it's a little soon to be talking about the fact that we're winning this war because we don't know right now what success looks like. But Democrats are very quick to say what failure looks like.
And what they are failing to acknowledge is the people within Iran who have been waiting for something like this for a long, long time. And they have a very different view of what's going on versus what Americans might think. And I think it's fair for Americans to be skeptical here, but they at least have to acknowledge the freedom that these people are fighting for.
And when you have pundits going on MSNOW and CNN saying that, you know, I think Trump is a bigger liar than anyone he might be negotiating with in Iran, that is so frustrating. false and offensive on its face, but they will do whatever they can to make sure this president loses.
And I think, you know, what we all have to be hoping for is a good and speedy outcome that takes as few lives as possible, particularly from American service members. And, you know, we pray for them. We want them to be successful. But I think it is fair to ask, what does success look like? And Greg, the Democrats have shown that they're willing to take money away from TSA agents.
And one of the congressmen there said no more money, not a single dime for these Operation Epic Fury. Would they really leave our men and women in harm's way without the funds they need?

Chapter 4: What is the significance of the extended deadline for Iran's negotiations?
It's politics before patriotism. You know, I was psyched. When America got bin Laden and that was under Obama and I didn't like, oh, damn, it happened under that evil Barack Hussein Obama. But I was really happy. Went to Times Square, celebrated with a bunch of people. It was awesome. This is this. You can you can feel it when you listen to the Dems. They want this to fail.
If they had to choose between a defeated Iran with millions and millions of citizens no longer under the thumb of a fascist theocracy or an embarrassed Trump with an empowered Iran, they would pick the latter because they don't factor human tragedy when they're feeding their ego. This is the I need to be right. And it doesn't matter. It's worse if they're wrong.
I've been thinking about the debate over the war. And it isn't. And I think Kennedy nails it pretty well. It isn't whether you agree with it or not, because we're good with both. No one begrudges whether you disagree or not with the premise. It's when you're annoying about it.
You know, for example, you can be mad at Trump for going into Iran, but you can still support the troops and want the mission to be successful. That's actually pretty noble, you know, but hoping it's a disaster because you don't like the decision makes you a douchebag. Likewise, I would say calling into question someone's patriotism who voices unease with the war. That's also kind of douchey.
And it's completely appropriate to be uneasy about a war. But it's what you do with the unease that whether it helps or it doesn't. It's like I don't understand what like, you know, Cory Booker, like what is he thinking in his head? You know, he he just voluntarily becomes part of the noise.

Chapter 5: How do the panelists assess President Trump's strategy with Iran?
I'm just going to join in. We already get plenty of noise. Say something interesting. And I wrote this down, but I think you pretty much said it, Kennedy. It's as simple as just saying, I hope this is completed quickly and effectively, and later we can dig into the hows and the whys afterwards.
Thank you, Greg.
You're quite welcome, Kennedy.
All right, well, don't go anywhere.
President Trump joins us next. 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.
All right, President Trump joins us on the phone live. Hey, Mr. P, it's your favorite talk show host. How you doing? Well, that's true. That's true. Greg, how are you? I'm doing great. It's always good to hear your voice.
Thank you. Yeah. Congratulations. Congratulations on beating all of those frauds that try to compete with you at a certain time of the evening. You're a little earlier, but I will tell you, the numbers are incredible, your numbers and their numbers are incredibly bad. Yes, they deserve it. They have no talent. But congratulations.
Thank you, Mr. President. So we all have a bunch of questions. I'm sure we'll get to one of them. I want to ask you, like, how do you deal with people who might be disappointed because they voted? Let's say they voted for you on the assumption of no wars. And then this happens and it's inconsistent with their wishes. What would you say to them?
Well, I have to do something in terms of making America great and keeping America great. And when you have lunatics with nuclear weapons and the power is beyond belief, I will tell you, as a president, I get to see it. My uncle was a great professor at MIT, and he knew more about nuclear at the time than anybody.

Chapter 6: What insights does President Trump provide about NATO's role in the conflict?
You know, everyone wants to be president of the United States. Everyone wants to be president or whatever, prime minister of a certain country. There are not a lot of takers to be the head of Iran right now. I will tell you, they're all fighting not to. We don't want that position.
But they asked me if they would, Kelly, importantly, they said to me very nicely through my people, could we have more time? Because we're talking about tomorrow night, which is pretty quick. And if they don't do what they have to do, I will knock out their power plants. And he said, does that include nuclear? Because they have nuclear, you know, plenty of money.
They have a lot of money and they built nuclear and they built regular power plants, but they're massive and very expensive, billions of dollars. And so I gave them a 10-day period. They asked for seven. You're going to say, oh, Trump's a terrible negotiator. They asked for seven. And I said, I'm going to give you 10 because they gave me ships.
We talked about the eight ships, you know, the president that I talked about the other day. But they asked for seven and I gave them 10. You got 10 days. And they were very thankful about that. Now, they may say, oh, we're not speaking. I don't like that because that wasn't true the last time, as you found out. But we are speaking and it's going fairly well. And so I gave him 10 days.
Well, that was nice of you. Very generous, Mr. President. I am. So you talk about some of the people in Iran who are left in the regime. They don't want to be the supreme leader because they know it's probably a short term position. There are a lot of Democrats in this country who would like to be president. They would like to succeed you. And they are using this war as a battering ram.
People like Seth Moulton, who ran in 2024, he is saying that are sorry, 2020. He's saying you are losing this war. And my question for you in terms of people who may be giving you pushback on the Democrat side and even some within your own party, what does winning this war look like?
Well, we've already won the war. Militarily, we've totally won the war. We even knocked out all their mine... They call them mine droppers. They drop... How would you like to have a country that has 22 ships that do nothing but drop mines in the water? You know, you know you're off to a bad start when you hear that. Now, a guy like Moulton, I don't know who he is.
I don't think I ever met him, but he's a loser. I mean, I watch him on television. He's a total loser. And they use this... You know, I watch... Poor Chuck. I mean, Chuck Schumer is a great Palestinian, represents the Palestinian nation right now. He's no longer Jewish, I guess. What he's done to the Jewish people is incredible. They hate him. But remember this.
They are good at one thing, sticking together. They have horrible policy and they lie. And, you know, they did everything they could to beat me. I won three times. Unfortunately, the election was rigged the second time and everybody knows it. And now all the proof is coming out. It's coming out loud and clear. We won by millions of votes the second time. But I don't talk about it.

Chapter 7: How does President Trump compare his presidency to previous administrations?
But if you do, keep the oil. Well... We are a very powerful military. We're the most powerful military nation in the world. And we did a big number on them. And our people like it because they don't want to see us 100 percent. Think of it 100 percent in a CNN poll, a CNN poll, which are the worst polls ever. Almost as bad as Fox polls. I hate Fox polls.
Honestly, whoever does your polls, they're terrible. Rupert Murdoch has promised me for years. He's going to get rid of your pollster, but he doesn't do it. I don't get it, but your, your Fox polls are terrible, but the pollsters that are good have me leading by a lot and leading every candidate.
If I would love to run, but you know, there's some things you can't do in life, I guess not allowed to do, but, uh, We're very popular. I mean, what can I say? MAGA loves the fact that they're not going to have somebody with a nuclear bomb over their head. MAGA loves the fact, like in Venezuela, everyone said, oh, this is going to be very unpopular.
Well, we're now taking in hundreds of millions of barrels of oil from Venezuela, and we're giving them a lot, and we're keeping a lot, and Venezuela is doing better than they've ever done. We had 100 million barrels of oil in the first week. We more than paid for the entire attack by, in fact, we made probably four or five times more than the cost of that attack. But it showed the military power.
I mean, the war was over in 45 minutes. And that's a strong military. If you go to Venezuela, everybody wears a uniform, all right? They're a lot of people. But we're getting along great with them. Now, MAGA loves it. Because we're there and we're participating, and it's one of the most valuable oil sites or oil countries in the world, just behind us.
We're producing now more oil than Saudi Arabia and Russia put together. And we don't need the Hormone Strait. What bothers me is that countries that do don't do anything about it. We're actually doing this for other countries. We don't need it. We did 1%. We don't have to do anything. We don't need the 1%. I think we did it just... because we want to be nice to them. We don't need it.
But I think I'm more popular than I ever have been. Look, when he heard 100%, he said, I've never seen a poll like this. This is the craziest poll I've ever seen. It was 100% of the people. And the reason is they like that I'm protecting our country from lunatics with a nuclear weapon.
Mr. President, the next time you do this on The Five, can we have you on set? Because we really want you to sit next to Jessica. I think you'd be a good influence on her. Can you do that?
Well, I think I watch Jessica, and I'm not a fan. And she uses fake numbers. She'll give, well, he's only polling 42%. That's not right. Polling very high, actually. You know, polls are just like, I hate people that use fake polls because polls are just like bad journalists. You know, bad journalists, they write fake stories. Well, fake polls do damage also. But that's the thing.

Chapter 8: What is the discussion around the upcoming election and Trump's potential candidacy?
You know, you're not allowed to say a woman's beautiful anymore. You know that, Jesse. You've got to be careful. Jesse's always in trouble. No, he's borderline of this stuff. I mean, he's really. But no, it was great. I still remember it very well. And look. In my opinion, when you look at what's happened, they're petrified because the one side has guns and they have very nasty guns.
They have the worst guns and machine guns. And what they do is they shoot you. And the people are brave, but they're not brave when they see people going down left and right. No matter who you are, I don't care how brave or unless you're really sort of stupid, you can't really protest. And the only reason they're not protesting is
is because they're being shot one after another, and they're doing it with snipers, where they have snipers in buildings. Not that they have to be snipers because they have free range, but it started with the women. Do you remember about a year ago we had 250,000 women?
Well, they had women being shot right between the eyes from snipers, four or five snipers in buildings pretty high up and a little far away. And when you see and you're a woman or you're a man, frankly, and you see a person dropping to the ground, bleeding from the brain badly, and then you see another one on the other side and then you'll see five or six or seven. That's all it took.
You run and they ran and they never came back. And if you noticed about two weeks ago, they put out a notice that if you protest, we will shoot you. They kill them. Look what they did to the wrestler. They killed him for for speaking up. They killed him. He was a star wrestler, a great wrestler, actually. Iran has great wrestlers. And he was a star, one of the best.
And they killed him because he spoke up, spoke against the regime, which is largely decimated. You could really say we have regime change because they've all been killed. They're all dead. Nobody really knows. The reason they gave us the eight chips is I wanted them to prove that we're dealing with somebody that's allowed to deal. And they say, we will give you a present.
And the present was eight ships. We're going to give you eight ships. And they actually made it 10. There was eight. And I heard on one of your shows two days ago in the morning, a very good show hosted by very good people, Fox and Friends. And by the way, I have to say, Marie is great. You got a lot of great people. You know, you switch back and forth. Marie is great.
You have so many great people, a couple of bad ones. But what do you can't have everything? You have a couple of lousy ones. But you can't have everything. But I watched on the show in the morning. They said, you know, it's very surprising. There are eight ships coming up the strait. And it's exactly what they told us they were going to give. And then they added two more.
And that proved to me that we're dealing with the right people. But then they didn't want to say that publicly. And I said, well, you should say it publicly. And now they are saying it publicly.
