Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hi, I'm Greg Gutfeld, along with Kennedy, Harold Ford Jr., Jesse Waters. And the last time she did an Easter egg hunt, she ended up on a milk carton. Dana Perino, The Five. Democrats are losing their minds after President Trump laid out his next steps in Iran last night. Trump telling Americans the end is near. We just need a few more weeks of blowing stuff up.
We are on track to complete all of America's military objectives shortly, very shortly. We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We're going to bring them back to the Stone Ages where they belong. Every American can look forward to a day when we are finally free from the wickedness of Iranian aggression and the specter of nuclear blackmail.
But Democrats started complaining before 47 even took the podium. So I'm not going to be able to watch the president's address tonight, but here's the thing. He brought America into a war that people do not want. It was concise, intelligent, and brought the nation together with shared purpose.
April fools. He really, he sounded and looked quite old, quite low energy, quite exhausted.
Just more magical thinking that an aerial reign of terror on Iran is somehow... going to solve the problem that we created. You see, Niall, he's downright sleepy.
We know nothing more about that after this ridiculous rambling speech.

Chapter 2: What are the latest developments regarding Trump and Iran?
But those loudmouths missed the point. Trump wasn't talking to you, dummies.
If you're someone who has not been paying close attention and not listening directly to the president, yes, it probably did provide you some sense of a refresh. But for those that have been following this closely here in the United States, around the world, there wasn't much new in this address.
You know, it's funny, Dana, is I when I was watching, I was like, oh, yeah, this isn't for me. You know, we live and breathe through this stuff eight or nine hours a day. But ironically, it is for people like Kamala who don't know what the hell is going on. And she didn't even watch. I think that is ungrateful. Right.
Well, and also it shows it that she had already made up her mind what the speech was going to be before she even heard it. So and that that is not good for a healthy democracy. It's not good for civic conversation and it's not good for somebody who is apparently so wants to be in some sort of leadership there.
I thought one of the most important things for the speech was, yes, talking to people who aren't online all the time because President Trump does post a lot on Twitter. Truth Social and then on X. He says a lot of those same things during the day when people are working and he's live on cable. He does some some a lot of interviews like with the press.
But if you are out there living your life, finishing work. Getting home, making sure the kids get to soccer practice, getting home and then cleaning, making sure they brush their teeth, go to bed. And then you might catch 20 minutes of the news. Of course, you have to watch Gutfeld.
You might not exactly feel that you have an understanding as to why are we in Iran and why is gas prices up a dollar twenty five over a month ago? So he did have to talk to them. The other thing that was important in the speech is talking about future generations. So. He thinks, I believe, in a longer time frame as I believe most parents do. I'm not a parent, but I get to sit with many of you.
And, of course, your thoughts are with how is this going to affect my children on every issue? AI, whatever it is, all of these issues, the debt taxes, how is it going to affect my children? And he addressed that as well. The media is obsessed with the timeline, partly because he is. He keeps saying two, three weeks, four weeks. He's saying we've won.
It's over, but it's just a few more weeks, et cetera. He's malleable on that. I think that's fine. But the media wants a specific timeline and he is not going to satiate their needs by saying, yes, absolutely. By next Wednesday, it's over. Right. They don't deserve a timeline. You know, Harold, I was shocked when you said in the green room you couldn't have done a better speech than that.

Chapter 3: How do the panelists assess Trump's military strategy?
I'd say a couple things. I think more people pay attention to war than we think. Do they know? Have they been paying attention to it like we have? Probably not. Dana touched on why it is really impacting and why I think a lot of people have been watching is because they've seen the price of gas. rise in the last month by $1.10 on average.
And if you're not buying the high-end gas or whatever the top-level gas is you're seeing as you're driving around, wherever you may live, $4.50, $5.00, some people even on the West Coast, $6.00 for a gallon of gas. Democrats and Republicans both pay the same amount for gas. Republicans don't get a break because there's a Republican president.
Democrats don't get a break because their party's yelling about things. We're all dealing with that. And I think that many Americans understand that too. The president should have given this speech four weeks ago. As much as I listened to the speech and I've been following it, I didn't hear, not only did I not hear a lot of new there, I didn't hear, I think it's wrong.
I think you're right, Dana and Greg, to say we can't provide an end date. But what I did not hear was a strategy. And I keep asking for that, not that I want to know every iteration, every unfolding of what we're going to do, but the president rightly praised the military execution. I mean, it's expected almost now that our execution, our military exercises are flawless.
From all the times the president's been in office from four years ago to now, we've never had a time when they were not flawless. I'm happy that is the case. We had concerns about DEI perhaps diminishing our military. In fact, it did not. It maybe even helped. That's another that's another conversation. The real issue here is the straight of her moves.
The president made clear last night that we're going to leave and other countries should step up and do their part to open it. I remind all of us, and Dana has certainly commented on this in the past, we both know this is a global market, oil is. You don't get to pick and choose the price of where you're going to buy it because it's set by a global marketplace. We shouldn't kid ourselves.
The president is most interested in this and talking about this as much as he does and shifting a little bit the narrative because the American people are paying more at the pump. And if there is ever an issue in my lifetime that has determined or dictated more political outcomes than the price of gas, I'd be happy for someone to inform and educate me what that might be.
Finally, Democrats, don't applaud the lack of the fact that there's not a clear narrative here. We are all Americans here, and we will all have to deal with the repercussions and ramifications of whatever happens or whatever does not happen.
I don't like that part of the politics of it, and both sides are guilty of it, but my party is probably a little more guilty right now because the president is struggling. But if the president wants America and all of us to rally around him, you've got to figure out how you reach not only a military strategy, but how you bring about a diplomatic, and for that matter, resolution to this matter.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of Trump's address for American citizens?
Kamala and Colbert both didn't watch it. Both trashed it. Greg, you said the other day the definition of intelligence is being open minded. Did I say that? You're so smart. You forgot. I was very intelligent. Oh, really? But you got it. I mean, that just makes them so dumb.
And hopefully the rest of the country was open minded because it could hear him lay out the facts that Iran was a threat, that Barack blew it by giving them money that they built missiles with. and that the United States is teed up from drill, baby, drill, lowering inflation in Venezuela to survive the short-term supply shock and get through this. And he didn't trash NATO.
He basically politely invited them to deal with the strait. Now, the issue here, and I agree with Harold, is that for the last 80 years, the United States' role in the worldā The bedrock of U.S. policy is to maintain the free flow of oil all over the place. So then all of a sudden, Trump was like, hey, hey, French, can you guys get down here? And we're like, what? With what ship?
They haven't done anything with the Navy in decades. So to expect them to do that is asking a lot. They're unprepared. But.
trump needs to as he ends this the ending has to end in the straight being open one way or the other by force by foreign armada or by ceasefire that's got to happen and so i think probably uh rubio he has nothing to do there you go probably handle it kennedy i i don't know what happened to seth moulton but something happened but uh
How can they actually comment on Trump's cognition after four years of basically doing, well, literally doing a cover up of Joe Biden's, you know, complete meltdown? Because they never acknowledged what we saw with Joe Biden. They never acknowledged the cognitive decline.
Yeah.
And the harm it was doing to the country and to his party and his presidency and his legacy and everything else. They thought that they would whitewash it with the help of people like Jake Tapper before he decided to make a bunch of money and write a book. And because that failed spectacularly and it damaged their party and they lost the presidency because they didn't want to gamble.
on an open primary. So now they've got four years of Trump and they think all they have to do is say the opposite of whatever Trump has chosen to do, whether it is Mark Wayne Mullen or what's going on in Iran. And there are innumerable reasons to be against war. And there are a number of reasons, if your guy is in office, to talk him out of something like this, because so much can go so wrong.

Chapter 5: How do gas prices relate to the current political climate?
But you can't have the passion of a moment force you to just disavow the Constitution. I heard my friends on the set yesterday talking about the 14th Amendment. If you want to change the 14th Amendment, you want to change the Second Amendment. There's a process to do so.
You can go and you can convince the legislatures in the country, get two-thirds votes and three-quarters of them, and you'll have an opportunity to do that. That's how women got the right to vote 106 years ago. That's how we struck down voting, things that prevented blacks from voting across the South. And that's also how we prevented presidents from serving more than two terms.
We changed the Constitution. So Democrats that talk about guns, I think it's an element of it, but we've got to deal with the crime issue. And Republicans who constantly criticize Democrats, pass a national crime bill and give cities more money to do the right thing when fighting crime. Crime's already down to 125-year low. Do we need a crime bill?
No, I don't think you need a national crime bill. And the last time that we had senators screwing around with crime, you got some pretty hideous legislation, thanks, Joe Biden, that did have some very racial implications. The problem was the response to that was this this blanket idea that, you know, all blacks are targeted, not all blacks are targeted.
And some people commit crimes over and over and over again. And regardless of their race, they should be in jail. But unfortunately, with this very unsophisticated idea that you have to open up the jails and you have to demonize the police, then you get the perception that your city is much less safe. I was walking to the subway today and I saw a guy shirtless screaming at himself.
riding a city bike, an e-bike in the middle of the sidewalk with kids and dogs running around. I'm like, this is the kind of person who's going to kill someone. And you know why? Because there's no cops around and there is a feeling that the mayor hates police. Therefore, police aren't going to do anything and police aren't going to do anything.
People feel like they can operate with impunity and they can do pretty much whatever they want because of those blanket policies in reaction to the national crime bill. And then you get mayors like Mom Donnie, like Brandon Johnson, who sit around while their cities burn and they say stupid things like, well, I believe we should have no kings. Well, what does that do to make people safer?
What does that do to make people feel safer? What does that do to keep businesses in places like San Francisco and Portland? You're just opening the door and inviting them to leave, and you invite the criminals to stay with your stupid policies. The last time we had a crime bill, we put 100,000 more cops on the streets, and if it had a racial element to it, it was not intentional.
Communities felt safer, whether they be black, white, or Hispanic, or Asian, whatever they may be. So I want more cops in my neighborhood. Okay. What were you doing this morning in Kennedy's neighborhood? I was in a hurry. Can you put on pants next time? I was climbing a fence first. That tore my shirt off. Okay. Coming up next, JB Back Ribs wants to celebrate National Walking Day with you.

Todd Pyro. Tyrus. And let's do this. Great sexy bad news.
Roll it. With Bruce Springsteen.
I'm going to raise you.
You black bears playing together. Trump tried to kill them. All right.
Okay, at the airport, there's Kansas City International Airport, this crowd gather on the jetway, and they watch this pair of bag handlers struggling to figure out how to collapse a baby stroller. You've all been there, but you know what? They got it closed. The crew was treated to a big round of applause. Let's hear it for them. Happy Easter, everybody. Get to take the baby out.
