Fox News’ The Five co-hosts Jeanine Pirro and Jessica Tarlov got into a heated screaming match over whether former President Donald Trump was a “selfish” individual.
The segment heated up after Fox News anchor Dana Perino asked Tarlov about Vice President Kamala Harris possibly calling Trump selfish, Tarlov replied, “For sure, because Trump is selfish.”
Below is a transcript of the exchange, via Grabien:
PERINO: “Do you think that that is something you’ll hear from Kamala Harris, that Trump is selfish?”
TARLOV: “For sure.”
PERINO: “Why?”
TARLOV: “Because Trump is selfish.”
PERINO: “Why? Why would you say that?”
TARLOV: “Well, you could look at — “
GUTFELD: “He just got shot running for president. Boy, that’s selfish. He almost died for this job. Go ahead. Sorry. I apologize.”
TARLOV: “You don’t really, but that’s okay. Um — “
WATTERS: “You don’t mean it”
(Laughter)
TARLOV: “You don’t mean it. If you look at all of what’s coming out of these court cases and the evidence he’s stiffed everyone from contractors, he’s cheated on everyone that he’s been married to, he demeans people. He can’t even stop demeaning somebody he’s been sexually assaulting. He’s been to meetings, donor meetings for big oil saying, ‘I’m gonna make it right for you. Rich people, you need me for tax breaks.’ It’s all about the self with Donald Trump, and he preys upon people who believe this toxicity.”
GUTFELD: “We’re all so stupid. Oh, we don’t see it. By the way, what you’re talking about is the same stuff — “
TARLOV: “No.”
GUTFELD: “The same stuff. It has nothing — “
TARLOV: “The point is, there is a discomfort with Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton putting out factual realities, and the way that you know that — “
GUTFELD: “30%? That’s factual?”
TARLOV: “I don’t know if it’s 30%, but there is no way that Donald Trump would be campaigning calling Kamala Harris ‘Kambala’ unless there were racists in his party he thought that would appeal to, or J.D. Vance and this Haitian immigrant story, that he is promoting this complete, false lie that Haitian legal migrants are eating — “
PIRRO: “You hate them personally. And the Democrats hate Republicans. As soon as he got elected, Republicans were unfriended by all the Democrats, they wouldn’t speak to us anymore. The Democrats are the party of hate. The Democrats are the party that said he’s a Russian — he’s a Putin asset, he’s a Russian puppet. The Democrats are the ones who signed affidavits and lied to a court so that they could spy on a president of the United States. The Democrats are the ones who said that we’re destroying democracy. Let me tell you something about Donald Trump. Let me tell you something about Donald Trump. Donald Trump is one of the most generous people you’ll ever meet. He does all kinds of things that people have no idea about. And, by the way, if he were selfish, he would take his money and tell all of us to go F ourselves based upon the way this country has treated him. This guy got shot! Don’t tell me he’s selfish!”
TARLOV: “What do you think about him saying Jews are absolute fools if they vote for Democrats?”
PIRRO: “No, let me tell you something. Donald Trump is the only one who moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, he — “
TARLOV: “The Jewish king.”
PIRRO: “ — is the only one who got the Abraham Accords — “
TARLOV: “Why aren’t Jews voting for him?”
PIRRO: “Okay, I’m not going to fight with you anymore, Jessica, but I know the man and the facts belie anything you say.”
PERINO: “Apparently I have stirred up a little something, Jesse.”
GUTFELD: “I would call it a hornet’s nest.”
PERINO: “Ooh, never heard that before.”
(Laughter)
WATTERS: “I would agree with Jessica, the Jews are not foolish.”
TARLOV: “Big of you.”
WATTERS: “I have so much respect for the Jews.”
