What led to the U.S. Hockey Team's Olympic gold victory?

Dana Perino 0:04
Hello, everyone. I'm Dana Perino, along with Emily Campagno, Jessica Tarlow, Jesse Waters and Greg Gutfeld. It's five o'clock in New York City, and this is the five.
Greg Gutfeld 0:28
Now, Jack Hughes puts it around the car. United States with numbers.

Who is Jack Hughes and what makes him a standout player?

Greg Gutfeld 0:29
Back across it comes. Jack Hughes wins it. The golden goal for the United States.
Dana Perino 0:32
In your face, Canada, 46 years after the miracle on Ice Team USA, did it again. The U.S. men's hockey team taking down Canada to win the gold medal, and an American star was born. That's Jack Hughes, fresh off scoring the game-winning goal after losing a few front teeth to it as well. He delivered a post-game interview that's sure to make you proud to be an American. Watch.
Jack Hughes 0:54
This is all about our country right now.

What were the highlights of the post-game celebration?

Jack Hughes 0:56
I love the USA. I love my teammates. It's unbelievable. The USA Hockey Brotherhood is so strong, and we have so much support from ex-players. I'm so proud to be American today. That's just a ballsy, gutsy win. That's American hockey right there. That's a great Canadian team, but we're USA. We're so proud to be Americans. Tonight was all for the country.
Dana Perino 1:20
But apparently not everyone was feeling the red, white and blue. The liberal outlet Health Post putting out this headline. If waving the American flag or chanting USA turns you off right now, you are not alone. But Kash Patel clearly disagreed. The FBI director celebrating with Team USA in the locker room.

How did the media respond to the U.S. victory?

Dana Perino 1:36
And he put President Trump on the line with the players with an offer they couldn't refuse.
Greg Gutfeld 1:41
We're giving the State of the Union speech on Tuesday night. I could send a military plan or something. But if you would like to, it's the coolest night. It's the biggest.
Jack Hughes 1:53
We're in.
Unknown 1:57
Can you pick us up in Miami on Tuesday morning?
Dana Perino 2:00
Maybe they'll get a ride and get this. Team USA is going to go to D.C. tomorrow. So we already know who will be in the U.S. capital. That's good vibes after the hockey game, Jesse. It'll be great. I watched the third period.

What controversies arose following the gold medal win?

Dana Perino 2:13
I didn't even realize it was on till late. And then we were getting dominated. The goalkeeper was keeping us in the game. We go to O.T. and great assists. Jack scores this goal, and the place just goes crazy. I was yelling... Little tear to my eye, Jessica, but that's fine. It was one of the greatest moments in American sports history. Guy gives an amazing interview after the game, makes you so proud to be an American. And then they do the medal ceremony and the guys are doing the thing where they bite the gold medal. And Canada was just totally classy in defeat. It was just a great unifying moment for the country. And I was really glad I was able to capture it. So I wake up the next morning and I look at my phone.

What role does patriotism play in sports according to the hosts?

Dana Perino 2:56
And the left is just dumping all over the game. And I'm like, this is why we can't stand you. This is why we don't go around with you guys. You guys make everything political. It's a hockey game. And it's not like the Bruins versus this. It's like American hockey. And they're trying to create a scandal. I love how Democrats are like, why have we lost men? Oh, I don't know. This maybe this is the reason you lost men is because the FBI director is drinking a beer in the locker room after the. Oh, he's drinking a beer. Oh, he's drinking a beer. Kash Patel puts the phone on speaker. The president invites them to the State of the Union to show him love in the greatest night of the year.

How did the Olympics impact public sentiment in America?

Dana Perino 3:43
Everyone's watching the whole country. It's going to be great. And the Democrats are complaining. Why? I don't know. They say he's they're upset because it costs money. It costs money. Wait, every single presidential administration sends a delegation to the Olympics. Obama sent his homeland security secretary twice. Obama sent Biden to the Olympics. It's like special. It's like the biggest—it's like the Super Bowl of the world. It's the biggest security event of the year. You get every security chief in Europe in there. There's conferences.

What are the implications of this victory for future U.S. hockey?

Dana Perino 4:21
Everyone's talking. He goes, and he's a hockey guy. The guy is in a men's league at his age in D.C., loves hockey. I'm not sure if Democrats realize this because they don't watch a lot of sports.
