The Five 05-28-2025
Wow, that's amazing. That's intense. Rosanna, you know this. You work in media. We live in a content world. And you can make content. You can react to content. But you can't stand still. But the Democrats have been standing still and just hoping that Trump falls. They hope that he was going to go to jail. They hope that he was going to lose the election.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
They just hope that he will go away and that now they're hoping that people will just get tired of him because of his style. And meanwhile, the Democrats popularity continues to go down while Trump's is, you know, it's down relative to where it was. Jessica, I agree. But it's still better than where they are.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
It seems every few weeks they have somebody new. Let me open up to Jessica then. Do you think they have a messenger now that is effective?
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
I mean, I know, but I mean, seriously, he didn't have daughters, so he couldn't talk about trans.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
Give me a break. All right. Up next, President Trump's twist. Gavin Newsom's arm on trans sports and gets results.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
I mean, but they are grasping at straws, OK? And they're circling the drain. There's lots of analogies that we could use for this. I joked with Jessica. I haven't seen her in a week that I leave and I come back and it's the same topic. And I think when Hammer asked me this morning, how long does this new cycle last? I said. I think it's for a long time.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
No. First of all, it's a pilot entry process. Okay, Greg in the A Block said, can I use it? He said that some crazy idea or bad idea, you have to go to the teacher's lounge to get the language. Whereas if it was just like something that everyone could understand, which is that, no, men cannot play in women's sports, period. Everybody would be able to understand it.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
Instead, it's like, I've read this three times. Under the pilot process, any biological female student athlete would have earned the thing in the CIF, the state meet, and then the section meet, and it was extended. It's confusing. What's so upsetting to me is we have these young women who have been passed over for opportunities and scholarships. They have been injured.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
They are the ones and their parents who got up every morning early. They got to the swimming pool to swim or to the track meet. And especially for pole vaulting, all this track and field stuff, they act like it's not a really big deal. Every single day you could find many of these young women who are then...
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
having to go and fight for themselves because none of the women who went ahead of them, who succeeded in sports, will defend them. And I think that is so shameful. So then you have Gavin Newsom, who goes on a podcast and says, yeah, I think that's a bad idea. But actions speak louder than words. And he doesn't act until he's threatened with losing the money.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
And then when they do say, OK, we're going to have a pilot program thing that nobody can understand it because nobody wants to be clear because they're so afraid of taking a leadership position. But when you are in politics and when you're in government, that is a decision making experience. And if you cannot make a decision as simple as this one, his career as a politician will end as governor.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
I don't see anything really getting it off of the front page because, one, they're not dealing with it directly, and two, there's just so much more. In fact, Fox News Digital just has a piece up today about a lot of the executive orders and how many of them were signed by Autopen. And these were huge, sweeping deals. And we have...
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
Not testimony, but we have on the record comments from Speaker Johnson. Remember when he went and had a meeting with Biden and he says, why did you sign the executive order to ban LNG? And he says, I never did that. I guess you did. Like, well, it was just a study. Oh, guess what? Well, the study that goes to EPA gets signed off.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
I'm in the teacher's lounge. But if there are only 10 people, then tell the 10 people you're not competing. Well, but they're going to get their own rankings.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
And Biden didn't know anything about it, and he wouldn't have done that if he knew. I mean, that to me is just the tip of the iceberg. So a lot more to come. And also you have the fact that there's a split in the Democratic Party that's very interesting. You have someone like Rahm Emanuel who's saying we have to go back to the center.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
Well, but also, look, it is attention-seeking. Like, for example, Jim Comey, right? When he does the little seashell stunt, he probably sees book sales go up or he gets some clicks or maybe he gets some new followers. Patti LuPone hasn't been heard from in years, and then she gets to do this, and all of a sudden it's like, oh, my little pony has, like, more clicks now. And she's excited about it.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
And I think that the idea that celebrities despise Trump, it's just old. We did a thing this morning. Who was the actor that came out and said that he voted for Trump and then he's been ostracized and dropped by everyone? It was in Hemmer's Celebrity News. But I can't remember the guy's name.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
That's probably true if they want to win, but that's not where the base is. The base is so much farther to the left. Two weeks ago, AOC was seen as the person who's the number one choice for Democrats, the most exciting person in the Democratic Party, the one that people are looking to. Last week, she called for ending ICE. Right.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
awful i was just on a plane and if that had happened you were just on a plane yeah pigeons ornith what is it called if you're scared of birds ornithobia orniphobia something that's an sh anyway um yeah i first of all pigeons are gross so gross i am surprised this doesn't happen more often though because i do think it's kind of cute not when a pigeon but you know like when a sparrow ends up in the airport that's kind of cute and he's going around he's like eating the french fries
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
Okay, two Brazilian nuns. They are going viral. Brazilian nuts? Nuns. Stop talking. Those are good for you. There's some dance moves and some beatboxing. Watch it.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
So we have a new Pope and we have beatboxing. We've got to love it. These are two sisters. They shocked the Internet and good for them. Hey, also, hey, I think it's the fifth week in a row. New York Times bestseller list number four still. I think I might be on the bestseller list. I wish someone had told me that Greg was going to be a jerk.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
The policies that she has are much further to the left than someone like Rahm Emanuel wants to go. So they need like a giant etching sketch to shake all around to see if they can get rid of the policy positions they've had since 2016, 15, 16, 17. And I just don't see this ending for quite a while.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
Remember when the chief of staff said that inflation was a high-class problem? I mean, you don't get much more condescending than that. Condescension.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
So it's a tale of two presidents, President Trump's blockbuster around-the-clock media availability getting some praise from the press and drawing a contrast with his camera-shy predecessor.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
As Politico notes, Trump 2.0 has done media on 111 days of his 138 days back in office, an 80% hit rate that includes weekends and must put him on course to being just about the most accessible president in modern history. The Joe Biden experience shows just how important it is that leaders are held up to regular scrutiny.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
And President Trump, he was back at it today, mixing it up with the media while swearing in a familiar face.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
So you'd think by now Democrats would stop getting baited by every truth post or presser. And yet Mark Halperin is stunned by how they keep falling for it.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
Yeah. Greg, a lot of these Democrats seem to think that Trump's style is going to sink him. Yeah.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
Well, and after Biden, you know, radical transparency, Jesse, might be exactly what the doctor ordered for the country. And maybe for the Democrats.
The Five
The Five 05-28-2025
A white noise machine. Hey, if you don't have air conditioning, though, you would be upset.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
It all seems a little about about him. Now, he could be exactly right. I'm not suggesting the president's not right about this, but I don't understand. how you go to a country and say to people in front of you, the 2020 election was rigged. I don't believe it was. But even if it was, the people you're saying in front of, Mr. President, they don't even have elections.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
The thing that troubles me the most is I think about it in an overarching way. I don't mind us resetting and talking about a recharge and a redo of our role in the world. But we are forced for good, for democracy, for rule of law, for decency, for righting wrongs. And if we're going to change that,
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
I think we deserve to hear more than just the president being in a U.S.-Saudi conference, praising these men for the great work that they're doing and for the business deals they're doing. I love commerce as much as anyone.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
But commerce to me does not at all, is not at all greater than whom we are as a nation and what we mean for the 250 years we've been on this earth, because we've been a force for so much good. And I hope and pray we continue to be. And I just want to hear the president articulate how this does it.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
You're not going to put me in with the communist China. You're absolutely wrong.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
So I think the country settled that for us. They elected Donald Trump again. And they said that close the door on that and move forward. I do agree with you in one regard that they needed to offer ideas.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
I mean, can you imagine if Democrats were out endorsing the Brad Gerstner, Ted Cruz, Cory Booker idea about 1K accounts for kids being born right after they're born, regardless of what their income is in their family?
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
providing the first $50,000 of individual income tax-free, the first $50,000 of business income tax-free, that we're going to ensure that kids have tutoring after school and summer initiatives for schools that hold teachers accountable in schools all across this country. We're going to go after China by doing what?
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
We're going to strike a deal with Ukraine so we can get their rare earth minerals as partners with them so we don't have to import them from China. And we're going to ban TikTok from here because they capture too much of our information. Democrats, they're so... much there for us to be doing.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
If we continue to fall in the trap of talking about Joe Biden, bless his heart, he gave 40-plus years to this country of service, and I'm grateful for it. But we have a country, we have people in this country who are expecting leadership and ideas from us. And until we do that, we don't deserve to represent them anymore if we continue to fall into these traps.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
Mine are written for me, and I give them to them, and they still don't.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
I'm still writing down the words that James said. Intersectionality. Equity. I think he's on to, I mean, these words are things that I understand where he's coming from, but I think he's trying to tell the party, get back to where people are. You've gotten so far outside on the periphery. And the periphery isn't necessarily bad. It's just irrelevant.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
And people don't care about to get back to talking about the things that people care about. It's worth listening to.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
In a woke crouch. He gave Democrats the two best things. In the early 90s, he said it's the economy's stupid. And then during, I don't know if it's George Floyd, he said the stupidest things Democrats have said is defund the police. We should listen to him. He can give us that foundation.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
Well, I think he knows he's not ready to do that, but his spirit and his instincts are what should be in charge of the party.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
The EPA is eyeing a rollback of what some say is your vehicle's most annoying feature. Lee Zeldin, the EPA administrator, posting on X, quote, start stop technology where your car dies at every red light so companies get a climate participation trophy. EPA approved it and everyone hates it. So you know what? We're fixing it. Are you annoyed by this when you drive or when you hear people talk?
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
What do you think about the slavery decision that the government made? One more thing. Let's see it for the girls from around the way.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
I do. Good to be with you, by the way. I hope so. I think we should stop falling into the trap, guys. I understand due process and I understand wanting to ensure that people are treated fairly.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
But at a time in which the Senate and the Congress, and particularly Republicans in the Senate and the Congress, are debating what the budget should look like next year, you have Republican senators arguing with Republican senators about Medicaid cuts. Mm-hmm.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
You have Democrat Republican congressmen arguing with Republican congressmen about how who should have taxes cut for them and who should have taxes raised on them. While we're not offering those things, I don't know. Again, I'm not suggesting at all that we shouldn't be protecting people's individual rights. But everyday Americans put Donald Trump in office.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
because he wants to ensure that we're protected from gangbangers and criminals who happen to be here illegally. They also put him in office because they believe that he was going to revive and revitalize and rejuvenate the economy in ways that would help every American. And I contend he's not doing a great job there. I contend we should be offering ideas on.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
how we reshore manufacturing to the country, not by using tariffs, how we can educate kids, how we can educate engineers and electricians. So when those jobs do come back, we're prepared. We need to be positive. This is this is exactly us falling into the trap that President Trump and I would argue many on the Republican side who are political want us to. Let's stop it. Get back to the issues.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
It's a woke crouch. I don't know that position. I never get in a crouch like that.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
So I differ slightly. It's hard for me to differ with my pal Dana on a substantive issue as big as this. But I do on the Syria thing for this reason. I don't know where the national strategic security interests are and what we're doing. I take you at everything you said on face value.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
But they haven't. And we really we we we. And he asked the Saudis, Saudis also. The reason I say this is because the president says a lot of things the beginning of a week. And in a couple of weeks later, he says something different. We remember we had a lot of tariffs on a lot of countries and he suspended all of them for 90 days and kept the ones on China.
The Five
The Five 05-14-2025
And then things got wishy washy with the market. He took the things off China. And so we now have another 90 days for that. you take a plane from a group of people that we've set around this table. I've heard all of us say the Qataris, they harbored Hamas. I didn't hear him at all say, I'll accept this plan if you guys renounce this and tell me you'll never do this again.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
Yeah, we're going to have hearings. We had Comer on the other night and he said he's already subpoenaed several Biden insiders and he's going to bring him in and he's going to have him do depositions and then they'll go to hearings. And if they dodge the subpoena, then he can refer to the Department of Justice. I have a feeling Pam Bondi might take action against those people.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
But the Biden aides are admitting to crimes we charged them with years ago. This book tour is like the five, five years ago. How many times has Greg and I and everybody around the table said, if you call him Hitler, it justifies anything. They can get away with murder if he's Hitler. And they almost did, Harold. They almost did if it wasn't for that big, beautiful chart.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
They lied to themselves about Trump being Hitler. They knew he wasn't Hitler. His whole agenda was stuff that the whole country agreed upon just a few years ago, that men and women are different and China is a threat and the border should be secure. Those aren't. Radical ideas. Everyone knows that stuff.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
They just said it so they could justify anything they could do to break the rules because he was a political threat. After Obama, they thought they had this coalition that was going to put the Republican Party out to pasture and they were going to be permanently in power. And Trump upset everything and then ripped their base right out from under him.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
And now they're just staring into the wilderness. The media is admitting... We were right about everything. I mean, if we were right about the biggest story of this century, we were probably right about pretty much everything else. We were like the laptop and the lab leak and inflation and the border. They think this book's like great and they're going to sell a couple copies. Big whoop.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
This book is like the legacy media stabbing themselves in the heart and admitting Fox and everybody else on the right was right. We should do a book on things we were wrong on.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
President Trump putting the squeeze on what he calls very anti-Semitic Harvard. His administration's pulling the plug on the remaining $100 million in federal contracts with the elite Ivy League school after already freezing $3 billion.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
President Trump says Harvard failed to turn over the full list of its foreign students so the Trump administration can identify, quote, radical lunatics and troublemakers that should not be let back into the United States.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
Someone at this table went to Harvard. Yes. Oh, there she is. Wait, they let women in? You'd be surprised what they let schools do these days.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
You think Harvard was filled with sophisticated people that could handle something like this. Why haven't they been able to come to an agreement with the Trump administration, Harold?
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
Well, what is the argument that it's not good? He's saying, can you hand over the list of foreign students that you're letting in because we have a national security situation and an anti-Semitism situation?
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
And the real question, Greg, is when are they going to go after Brown? I mean, they're the real villains here. Shut up, Jesse.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
Oh, man. That was good. Up next, a CBS anchor unloads his TDS on college grads.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
Of course you would. Absolutely. I just want to say the sport of lacrosse has come such a long way where Harold Ford Jr. has given a shout out. Probably the whitest shout out in the history of the five. You know where the game started?
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
I'm part Native American. It started lacrosse in this country. Well, 1.1% black, Harold, and that was a white comment. Oh, my goodness. Do you have anything to add?
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
Prime time, your thoughts on this? Well, Emma hit me this weekend. If you can look in closely above the eyebrow, we were just horsing around. And it happens often.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
Go through countries. Sometimes we make observations. This is England. Enough said. These people are rolling down the hill looking for cheese. Ouch. And you know who won? An American. A German. I think that says everything we need to know about everything. Tonight, Jesse Waters primetime. Johnny celebrates Memorial Day. Watch.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
Right. It's like hiring Don Draper for an ad campaign for a product that doesn't even exist. Usually the commercial happens after you have a new product. Harold is the only real man left in the Democrat Party. Democrats should save 20 mil and watch the five for free. Democrat men are afraid of offending minorities and women and the woke snobs. And the voters are like dogs. We smell fear.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
And it's just all over the Democrat process saying the right thing. Doesn't matter. It's about doing the right thing. Democrats need to figure out what the right thing is and then do it instead of trying to trick men into believing they're doing the right thing for the wrong reasons. Remember when they couldn't define what a woman was? Now they're trying to define what a man is.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
It's like an anthropologist studying the uncontacted tribes of the Amazon jungle. Except Democrats aren't even flying to Brazil. They're paying other people to listen to Rogan. There's the NBA playoffs going on. We just finished with football. They've been talking about going to sports. I haven't seen them in a single game. They're not even putting in the work that needs to be done.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
Males are half the voting population. Whites are like two thirds of the country. I mean, these are large blocks of voters that they have no idea how to deal with. Bottom line, men don't like to be controlled. We don't like being told we can't say what vaccines we have to be putting in our body, what cars to drive, what food to eat.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
And if they ever find a liberal Rogan, they're going to control them. They're going to tell them what topics not to do, what guests not to have. It's going to be the same thing. And they're admitting by this stupid study for 20 mil that the legacy media has no real men in it. They've run them all out. They've fired them. You can't be a real man and go on the Today Show.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
All the rest of them are henpecked or women on these legacy media platforms. That's what they should try to figure out because the infrastructure is already there.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
You're going to find people asking a lot of questions. People asking about syntax and do I drop the G for this word and this and that. And there's going to be a lot of that. So let me just warn everybody, that process is going to be very obnoxious. We're really talking about young men, right? Young men who Democrats have not figured out a consistent pitch for how to get in front of.
The Five
The Five 05-27-2025
And I think it starts with authenticity. Stop creating purity tests for people because they don't agree with you eight or nine times.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
But that's not all, folks. Joe Biden apparently did not recognize George Clooney at their fundraiser and had to be told who he was by an aide. Now, that is an outrage, isn't it? Which apparently left the superstar shaken to his core. And that was the part that I thought was pretty funny. Like, imagine you're George Clooney, Jesse. And somebody doesn't recognize you.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
How dare they? And then George Clooney said, all right, I'm going to write the op-ed that does him in.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
I think parties should have discipline. And I think that, you know, if you're going to break the rules, just like fully break them. But the Democrats are cracking me up. David Hogg, it's been the perfect dance of the situation that they're in. First of all, they said, we need youth. Then like, wait, that's too much youth.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
Then the youth are killing off our olds and our moderates and like throw out the youth. And then the voting procedure thing is just a fig leaf, basically for the lack of their discipline. Instead of just saying that was a mistake. You're a lunatic. You're out of here. You're going to cost us seats and let them go. Besides David Hogg.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
Remember what, if you look back at his FEC reports, he makes a ton of money for his PAC. He made like $10 million. He spent $275,000 on Uber Eats, and he donated it to campaigns.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
So the new owners have to dig deep in their pockets. Like they have to recruit a good player. I think that's how that goes. I think you landed it. Thank you very much. Okay, a couple things. One, any administration has to have a triage situation. Like imagine you're in the emergency room. Like what are you going to fix first? Border first. Fixed. Okay. And then tackling inflation and the economy.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
OK, this is Sean Duffy's number one issue. He has made it very clear and he's not hiding from the issue. He's absolutely willing to get out there and talk about it. And yes, he can say we should have been investing in this. He could even say we should have been doing this during COVID. And that's also during Trump's administration. Fine. He can say that he's a transportation secretary.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
A couple of things that he could do also would be, first of all, focus on it as an economic matter. Because a lot of people want to travel. You have to travel for business. Your mom and dad, you work. You want to get home in time for the Little League game. You want to take your family on vacation.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
There's so much economic activity that happens at these airports that that should be a number one issue for the administration. Also, pilots, we make them retire early. They did the same to air traffic controllers. But then they changed their minds and said, actually, we need more pilots. You can actually go up to a certain age to be a pilot. Well, can they do that early?
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
Safely for air traffic control, perhaps. But the other thing I would say is this. I'm a little concerned that as the media does, that these delayed flights and problems at airports are the new shark bites of the summer. You know what I mean? I don't know.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
I mean, I think that it seems to me there might be plenty to criticize with him, but the media harps on everything and always is going after him, so it loses its punch when it's warranted.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
It's time now for one more thing. I met a young woman named Emma Foley, and she writes for The Conservateur. And you should check out this magazine. It was great. Check out this headline, Greg. Dana Perino's Masterclass in Grace Under Pressure. We did an interview about the new book. I wish someone had told me. It's a great read, the article, but you should also get the book.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
And then I did Perino on Politics with Rich Zioli, and he was great. And that's all I have, Greg.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
It doesn't make it right. One thing that really bothers me, Greg, is that still there's so many anonymous sources. But they're not anonymous because they're worried that Democrats will be mad at them. They're worried that they're going to be caught as liars.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
Privately, advisers debated whether a wheelchair would be required to get him through a second term. The president's doctor privately said that if he had another bad fall, a wheelchair might be necessary, and quipped that Biden's staff members were trying to kill him while he was trying to keep him alive.

Hello, everyone. I'm Dana Perino, along with Katie Pavlich, Marie Harf, Jesse Waters and Greg Gutfeld. It's five o'clock in New York City, and this is The Five. The Democrats who really want Joe Biden to go away, well, they might want to buckle up because we're getting another brutal bombshell about the cover-up of former President Biden's mental decline.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
And who's going to identify the body? Well, I have a suggestion. Chuck Schumer was asked about this, and we have a little sound. Watch it.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
These revelations shouldn't come as a shock if you were watching The Five during the Biden presidency. And now one of the book's co-authors is using the L word to describe the White House.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
Marie, is that going to cut it for Democrats? I know you want Democrats to win and be successful in the future. Will that help? No.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
There are 200 Democratic insiders quoted in here. A lot of them are anonymous. Even their current spokespeople, they want to remain anonymous. They don't want anything to do with this.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
There was a choice here. Can I add one thing? We also didn't want a primary because Biden and his team did not believe that Kamala Harris would win. Well, after he dropped out.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
There are critics, however, that are pointing this out. The Tapper's record on the subject isn't exactly squeaky clean.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
I do. I think they will be. Yes. Well, we will have much more on this. It's not going to end. Up next, President Trump drumming up some major investments for America on his Middle East trip.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
Well, what's interesting is that for Chris Murphy, it's like for the last four years, you were championing the Inflation Reduction Act. And what did that do? It drove up inflation and it had all these green new scams in it in which you could give to all of your donors, many of whom now have gone bankrupt. So I don't like the idea of the plane.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
But we're not talking about that right now because I don't think that's necessarily happening. What's interesting on this is that when President Trump signed the economic agreement this morning, he signs the economic agreement. Then Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth signs the defense agreement.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
A lot of the economic agreement and the defense agreement are intertwined because Saudi wants protection. And so if you're going to get the protection, you need to have the weaponry and the weaponry is made by us. And so that is a good thing. And it's been a pretty good week for the president's economic agenda. Aside from that, the inflation number was good today. One of the big banks, J.P.
The Five
The Five 05-13-2025
Morgan, really scaled back its projection for a recession after that China deal got announced for 90 days. And House Republicans are actually really moving forward on the big, beautiful bill that could get done. So I would say it's a pretty good week, and it's only Tuesday.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
It is pretty remarkable that you have Biden administration officials saying publicly, wow, we wish we could have done something like that.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
No. But, I mean, first of all, when all these books are coming out, why not cancel your media appearances? Why is everybody out there talking? If you want to move forward, then cancel the media appearances and just take the L and just get over it for a while. Remember I used to say, why does President Biden never have a cabinet meeting? They never met. They went nine months without meeting.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
And now you find out that anonymously they were saying they didn't hear from Biden for weeks at a time. Pete Buttigieg just told the media this week that he didn't see anything wrong with that. But what is Buttigieg doing all the time? He was working on his own political brand and not working on things like air traffic control.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
Then you have somebody like Janet Yellen, the Treasury secretary, who could not get into the Oval Office to talk to him about something called inflation. And that they had to have talking points written for everybody in order to do that. I'm beginning to think that Lloyd Austin might have said something to President Biden about going into the hospital and that somebody forgot.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
And that he just was a good soldier and said, OK, fine, I'm not going to I'm not going to say anything anymore. I made a mistake a couple of years ago and I demanded that Jake Sherman testify. But Jake Sherman works for Punchbowl News. I meant Jake Sullivan. And I actually do wonder where the hearings are about this.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
She is nice. But what's interesting is that on the protester side of things, they make RFK Jr. more sympathetic. Of course. Of course, if you're like if you think you don't want to don't agree with him, whatever, on some of the things that he's doing, when the Democrats or these lunatics do this kind of thing, it just makes you crazy.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
The guy from Ben and Jerry's, he has more money than he knows what to do with. And he goes and he's protesting this. He's protesting about Gaza at the HHS hearing. It's really, really pathetic. Someone ought to check the 25th Amendment for him.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
I'm with you. You don't wear underwear? I meant her. for the record. I would love it if somebody said, guess what? Every day you're going to wear this particular color. We get to have different colors on the show, obviously, but I think this is a great thing. If you are going to work at a place where you could spill coffee on yourself, wearing a black shirt is great. It's great.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
Time now for one more thing. You know, teenagers get a driver's license, and then this could happen. A teenage driver narrowly avoided a plunge into the Long Island Sound. Check that out. While trying to leave a marina, the 17-year-old accidentally hit the gas, sending her feet flying over the guardrails and onto the dock below.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
Miraculously, the car managed to stick the landing, but was left sitting dangerously close to the edge. Anyway. Yes, Greg, I knew. I could feel it. Harold.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
I'm going to disagree with you on the part about the Israelis because I don't think the purpose is to distance. In fact, when they killed Sinwar yesterday, the Americans said nothing. When Obama's team went over there, every time they went, they had to say something critical about the Israelis. And the Trump administration has not done that. Harold, do you want to politely disagree with me again?
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
Team Biden is said to be in awe of President Trump's de la palooza trip to the Middle East. The commander in chief is wrapping things up today with a visit to the United Arab Emirates after racking up an Operation Warp speed of economic and diplomatic deals in just a couple of days. It's got former Biden officials running to Axios and begrudgingly saluting his boldness.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
No, you said that we are distancing from them on purpose and making deals with other people.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
Kellyanne, it's interesting to have the juxtaposition yet again. This has been going on for almost a year with President Trump getting wins and the Biden team continuing to suffer losses. That also continued this week as you compare one administration to the next in the middle of all of these books coming out saying that Biden wasn't really even in charge.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
Hello, everyone. I'm Dana Perino, along with Kellyanne Conway, Harold Ford Jr., Jesse Waters and Greg Gutfeld. It's five o'clock in New York City, and this is The Five.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
One guy said, gosh, I wish I could work for an administration that can move that quickly. And President Trump couldn't resist taking a jab at how his predecessor was received by the Gulf states.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
Like they used to hope that the judicial system was going to solve their problem.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
Yeah. And other things. And we will continue to talk about this because I'm next born to run his mouth. Bruce Springsteen belts out a brutal ballot against President Trump.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
And here's just the latest example of Trump's audacious foreign policy moves, like a nuclear deal with Iran.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
You're a fan, right? Don't you remember what I said on my birthday? What did you say? That my unpopular opinion is that he's overrated. Oh, that's right. No, but I mean, obviously, I like one song. Just kidding. What I don't love is, for example, we have had stories about Rosie O'Donnell, right?
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
So you can praise her for saying, oh, well, at least she finally followed through on that and went off and moved to Ireland and wants to be on TV. So Bruce Springsteen, first of all, I never go to a concert and want a political lecture ever. I don't go to Broadway for political lectures and I don't watch movies for political lectures. And I would just prefer not to have that.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
But then you heard the reaction from the crowd. And I really dislike it when an American would go over and do that, especially by the president's overseas. I would I also would say I would say the same if a pop star did that or a rock star did that about Joe Biden when he was president. I just think it's wrong. I wouldn't do it.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
All of his fans would hate it. Yeah, he would get booed. Right, so he's playing to the crowd. The other thing on Mr. Impeachment Man, I think about the Democrats who are standing behind him holding the signs, and they just got smacked down so badly by the people in their own party and how far away we are from the previous Trump administration.
The Five
The Five 05-15-2025
And also, after all of the trials that he had to go through in the last four years, like here in New York, it fell flat. This guy was openly attacked by other Democrats, and here's a prediction, because we like predictions. I bet the Democrats find a way to primary this guy, and he will not be in office in 2026, after 2026.
The Five
The Five 05-26-2025
Yes, I know. That is a very difficult thing. Work-life balance is not easy. Greg?
The Five
The Five 05-26-2025
Here's the end of our segment. Up next, a look back at the biggest Biden bombshells rocking the Democrats when our Memorial Day special returns.
The Five
The Five 05-26-2025
have yet a democrat that wants to run for president that is public about wanting to run for president who has said that was wrong and does that need to happen in order for them to actually be able to move forward because they can say all day long we are looking forward we are trying to move forward but you're not actually taking a step until you deal with it a different a

This is the Fox Nation show I want Greg to do. Where are they now? All these people used to be on Red Eye.
The Five
The Five 05-26-2025
The crowd. Yeah. But you remember what happened last time that happened?
The Five
The Five 05-26-2025
Yeah, of course. But I really like her delivery. I think she's great. And I know that you're a Tim Dillon fan. And he was saying that he's a fan of hers. So then I took a look to see if I liked her. And I like her.
The Five
The Five 05-26-2025
Here's a baby kangaroo who was hopping for joy during a NASCAR race at the Texas Motor Speedway. His name is Sky, and he got the VIP treatment. He was bottle-fed by Fox broadcaster Jamie McMurray while watching the race. I mean, Greg, you know you wish you could do that. Harold, birthday boy.
The Five
The Five 05-26-2025
Yes, I am. I would have steak all day long, every day, every day, all the time.
The Five
The Five 05-26-2025
Dana, when I was a kid, I would say I read A Wrinkle in Time over and over and over again as a kid. And then actually it was funny because a couple of years ago, then that book was there was some controversy about it. It was that anniversary was like that might have turned kids Republican or libertarian.
The Five
The Five 05-26-2025
Yeah. But also when you went to the time travel is basically you live like a communist and nobody wanted to live in communism.
The Five
The Five 05-26-2025
There's so many things. But the things I'm writing down are snake, alligator, snails. Any of that weird stuff, I would never. I've eaten all of it.
The Five
The Five 05-26-2025
So don't bring up the plane story. That's a bad one. Dumb thing I did as a kid, as a little kid. Well, I would say, you know, I chose gymnastics over piano when I was forced to make a choice because I couldn't have like that many lessons in the week. And we have to like, you know, we have to pay for lessons and everything. And I chose gymnastics. I should have kept with piano.
The Five
The Five 05-26-2025
Yeah. OK, so my mom has since apologized. But I just get the wooden spoon.
The Five
The Five 05-26-2025
And welcome back to The Five. We are answering your questions this Memorial Day. Here we go. What is the earliest childhood memory you can remember? Harold, start with you.
The Five
The Five 05-26-2025
You remember those. Always buckle up. Okay. Kennedy, do you have an earliest childhood memory?
The Five
The Five 05-26-2025
I remember my sister coming home from the hospital. I'm four years older than her. And I was really mad because my mom made me stay home from school that day. And I wanted to know, why did you make me stay home from school? That was my earliest childhood memory, just to save the segment. Not that funny. Happy Memorial Day. Question from Facebook.
The Five
The Five 05-26-2025
And this is Noel M. What do you consider your biggest break in reaching this point in your career? Oh, Kennedy, that's a good one for you.
The Five
The Five 05-26-2025
And look at you now. I would say for me, I went to a hockey game in 1995. I don't know anything about hockey. It was Colorado Avalanche versus the Capitals. And this guy sat next to me and said, what do you want to do in Washington? I'd been there like five weeks. I said, oh, I'd love to work my way up to be a house press secretary one day. And he's like, oh, do you know this guy from Colorado?
The Five
The Five 05-26-2025
Facebook question from Kelly G. What is your least favorite part of show prep, Jesse?
