with judge jeanine pirro, jessica tarlov, jesse watters and she need s a stepladder to reach her stepladder, dana perino, "the five" ♪na p >> greg: chicago mayor brandon johnson spewing some breath-taking bs over who's to blame for the failed state of his city, the left wing leader going on an excuse palooza blaming everything from right wing extremists to his predecessor tik tok super star lori lightfoot. i miss her. mind you the last time a republican was in charge of that place, herbert hoover was running the country.er he was the 31st president, dana. >> dana: oh. >> greg: yeah. but before we dive into what brandon said, here's a quick refresher on the future site of the dnc. shocking video shows a woman gettinfutug robbed by a rifle-wielding gang on a busy chicagn a o street before the p victimized three otheror people. and chicago's so overrun with migrantser p they're stuffing illegal immigrants into police stations, churches, airports, and soon to be built tent city. residents who live near the new camp are protesting. >> when yowu think about all th things we allow to slide, this is another thing that we just can'llowt allow this to happen.e >> there's no transparency from the mayor, not even from ramirez. very inhumane to do this. >> this mayor is acting like a d dictator. he needs to go. he must go. >> greg: typical right wingers. but let's go back to brandon. chicago's woke mayor wants to blame everyone but himself. >> whalamet we have he a seen i very raggedy form instituted by right wing streamism. everyone knows that the right wing extremism in this country hawings targeted democratically cities and quite frankly been very intentional about going after democratically-ran cities that are led by people of color. it's the same republican right winglic extremism that stormed capitol. it's the same right wing extremism that refuses to accep, the result ts of the civil war. they're still mad that a back man isivil free in this countrye this is nothine g new. but aren't you glad that the soul of chicago won't be brokena and those are the words of i think beyonce. you won't break our soul. >> greg: oh, jesse. he's like taking a page out of jussie smollett's .book. likeng there's this huge hidden extreme maga, you know, criminal gang going around carjacking and stuff. i don't see any red hats at the crime scenes. >> jesse: no. well, you can't blame biden for opening the border because the fbi will theyou n raid your hou. that's what they did here to our mayor. i don't understand why he's un saying that whites or conservatives are mad at him. blacks are mad at the black mayor because he turned the south side of chicago into latin america. no one can even move in that ut neck of the woods because ve they're just flooded with migrants. and you have to understand, the black community in chicago is feeling thatack they're being replaced and they've said this. they've said that they're americans and you're importing a population there andam they're e crowding them out of schools, crowding them out of soccer fields, out of basketball courts, out of jobs.ba if you loollk at the explosion the hispanic population in this country it's astronomical. they've doubled the last couple decades, used to base 5% of thet population, hispanics now are 20% of the population. the hispanic population's doubling, the black population in 2060 supposed to be flat.60 they, are having a lot of children, they are coming to this country, they're going to replace the political power of the black community within the democratic party. and the black community in the democratic party has been so un loyal to the democratic party that the hasy can't understand they would do that.d and that's what people are saying in chicago.pe now, this mayor is not trying to fix anything. he's just pointing fingers.g he's not progressing. these people are saying you're establishing so much progress.in there's been no progress in chicago. he's going to fail just like alh these other progressive mayors are failing. and thenhe he's just going to wd up at harvard because that's what they do. >> greg: dana, you look at a lot of the problems chicago's facing, the migrant crisis, crimes, gangs, tent cities. thesimese are not caused by republicancaus policies. it's kind of like their political anger is being li directed at the people pointing out the problems and not the nt problems themselves. it's like getting mad at your doctor for diagnosing your illness because he's a republican. >> right. >> dana: also as you pointed out that wasn't exactly the right wing crowd holding the press conference.wi there hasn't been a republican mayor in chicago i believe sincc 1927?hi so i'm not sure how many people are going to buy this. this year -- sorry, in the last six months, 15,129 cars have been stolen. we could go through all the different burglaries, carjackings, robberies. but just imagine if your city i so badbu that a migrant arrivesy takes a look around and says wow, you know what? i think i'll try my luck in venezuela whersayse i might hav better shot.ne zui felt like when he was doing his press conference talking abous dot extremists republicane was almost trying out to be white house press secretary because he knew it wasn't going to land.it i don't know who he thought he was trying to convince, shoring up his own base, but it sounded so forced and so juvenile and really sounded like someone de completely out of his step and i feel bad ford chicago. and i feel bad for all the s mayors because the white house won't helpd them. >> greg: i felt sorry for him. and i never feel sorry for people >> jessica: wow you had 'em peace? >> greg: yeah i thought i had the flu but it was empathy. judge the great thing about republicans you can make fun of them all you want but we still will help you. he can yell at us but why doesn't he just say, okay, help us. what should we do because republicans will help. we're used to getting yelled at. >> judge jeanine: he knows what to do. he knows thaatt there were 30 peopleno whows were shot this pe weekend after thanksgiving. he is the person who appointed the superintendent of police. he is the one who can say to the police superintendent, sit down, let's talk about policy here. i don't really like your policy, where the police are not going to be punished for not chasing a criminal. i mean, that is a policy in at chicago. so a ipos people are losing the wallets and what we saw in the first video when we started thi segment,th as people are being robbed openly, police are not even chasing them.as they're literally calling in a rob 2 on the corner of michigan and center street. that is his fault. it's his fault it's a sanctuary city. it's his fault the police are not making arrests. why not talk to your democrat progressivwhy e da, george soro funded da kim fox who messed up the jussie smollett case and say kim we have real problems.em for him to turn around and say there ar e white people in this country that are upset blacks ac are free, that was outrageous to me. first of all imet took white people to elect a black e president. e people to make id sure we have laws on the books that don't allow for discrimination. cut the crapth. stop tryinw g tofo be so divisi. they want to create hate and hate. they claim this victimhood. and then this outrage when, in the end, even the illegals are saying it's so bad here, you don't listen to minorities, i would rather go back home. >> greg: g jessica, i feel like- okay. there are two issues here in that he's deciding to go towards one than the other. there are the real issues, the real problems, and then he goes, but, we're being targeted, we're being targeted the and i think he means something like fox news, the media constantly pointing out the degradation of liberal citiesatio. so what? it's like that's not your job. your job is not to address how the media portrays the city, your job is to focus on the problems that are being exposedr ame i right? nod or blink yes. >> jessica: if i'm still alive trapped in here.no i want tt o address that, i firi want to say that i don't know who jesse is talking to in o but -- >> jesse: i've had them on my show >> jessica: i don't think blackt prepeel sitting around talking about the great replacement theory and they can' t get on a basketball court. >> jesse: they've had people leave fields because there wasn't enough room because of migrants. you have>> g to watch jesse wat primetime >>th jessica: 8:00 is bedtime f thgroue baby. she's a fan mostly when your mom calls in. no great replacement therapy. t to your point greg i think you're correct that there's a decision he made that he wanted to go toward a more nationalized what's wrong ut with the republican party versur being ona local city mayor. and i think that it can be be difficult when you run one of these huge cities, right, that you don't feel necessarily that you're just a local guy but nece that's what it is.lo you have a little plot of land and that's what you're in charge of and the people who put you i office, and, by the way, chose him over paul, who's still a democrat, tried and true democrat here but had a much tougher stance about things likh immigration and supporting the police was an option. when i was watching the footage of the city council meeting where they wouldn't allootagw to to take the vote on maintaining sanctuary city status i was thinking are peoplpeope having buyer's remorse that they shouls have the optio?n to have a democrat hav in office who's go ton to listen to their concerns. he did inherit a whole host of problems from lori lightfoot anl the mayor before her and the t mayor before him, but homicides in chicago are down 10% from this timine last c year. they're down here in new york. they're down in philadelphia. dc is an outlier in terms of liberal cities and we've talked abouant what's going on in dc a lot. but i don't think that when overwhelmed by what's going on and the migrant crisis that they're necessarilyh sitting at home and talking abouecest the broad strokes. they're talking about how they know the little girl down the street was shot in a drive-by shooting. >> greg: murder is obviously ths worst crime but people are e wo leaving the cities not just because of murders, it's everything, crime inuse generat larceny, carjacking >> jessica: i'm saying one of the things we talked about was --. >> greg: jesse, people are leaving new yorkg: >> jessica: he left. he forced himself out. >> jesse: i left >> jessica: anyway, that's it, bye. >> greg: bye. up next, joe biden's green scheme is so bad even democrats are being:g forced to admit it. s green schema so bad, even democrats are being forced to admit it. ♪ ♪ he hits his mark —center stage—and is crushed by a baby grand piano. you're replacing me? customize and save with liberty bibberty. he

and there's a simple reason why. nobody is buying them. a group of big auto makers, including ford, tesla, and gm, are slowing down production because of lackluster demand. more than 3,000 car dealers signing a letter opposing biden's electric vehicle mandate talking about how the cars are, quote, stacking up on our lots. a new study is also revealing the true cost of electric vehicles, which is roughly the equivalent of $17 a gallon. and here's another big blow to joe biden's gas car ban, the democrat governor of connecticut is now withdrawing his state's electric vehicle mandate. >> this is what we've got to do, this is how you bring down the price. see if we can satisfy some of the naysayers get them on board just like they were until recently and see if we can keep connecticut on a track that will make a difference for us and our kids. >> judge jeanine: but leave it to our stumbling president to ignore all the signs of the coming ev disaster. biden out in carolina pushing his green agenda. >> building a clean energy future made in america. it's part of the progress we're making growing the economy from the middle out and the bottom up not the top down. when i took office, we set a goal to produce 100% carbon-free electricity by 2035. and because of my commitment to clean energy future, made in america clean energy companies started investing here. >> judge jeanine: okay, dana, ford, one company as an example, is projected to lose a whooping $4.5 billion from evs this year, up from three billion last year. >> dana: even though -- i don't understand why america has to keep re-learning the laws of the free market. so the administration wanted a medal they said here we go we're going to give auto makers this kind of money and consumers this kind of a discount and we're going to make the car dealerships, they'll get this across the finish line and these guys are saying it's not working. we had a car dealer from new jersey on today saying i can't move the cars he can't get people to take a test drive and he has all this extra inventory sitting there and the white house tells them to pound sand. they're not trying to do anything he-you think the car dealers don't want to make money? of course they want to make money but he said people who live in apartments say where am i going to charge it. this he get frustrated, the trucks when you go to toe something or put a trailer on the back they don't work as well and people are saying they're still too expensive and they don't want it anymore. this is a house of cards. and when the house of cards starts falling down in states like connecticut watch out. the bottom can fall out very quickly. >> judge jeanine: jessica why do you think americans are so resistant to the president's green agenda? >> jessica: i think that's what's going on with electric vehicles is part of the green agenda but not the entirety of it. >> judge jeanine: well this part of it >> jessica: i know and i'm going to address your question directly and then i'm going to add something. so we're okay. i think that ned lamont, who by the way one of the more popular governors in the country, is very smart to do this. and you saw it also during the pandemic with jared poll is the democratic governor of colorado where president biden was being responsive to your constituents. mayor brandon johnson, you just have to listen to your people. you can change rules for that. you can say this is something we want, we aspire to, he said that in the clip we showed. i want to get us there the goals are too aggressive we can't move that quickly. hopefully this will engender more good will toward evs if we take a break on this continue with your gas cars et cetera. there's also this problem for the fords of the world and gms people are buying teslas if they're buying electric vehicles. they haven't been able to get people en masse to buy these other versions and tesla has a different kind of sheen to it and people feel like the price can be justified also driven by wealthier people that are doing it. if you're asking middle class people to do it it's not resonating the same way. biden's green agenda, though, had a really big successes. he was at this wind plant, cs wind the world's largest wind tower manufacturer, just broke down on a $200 million expansion direct result of the inflation reduction act 850 new jobs that have come to this tiny town. 99% of the clean energy investments in colorado are in counties with below average weekly wages 68% counties with higher than average child poverty. this is helping people on the ground for real. there have been seven billion overall investment in manufacturing clean energy, semi conductors, evs batteries et cetera that are helping average americans and that is part of this as well and why he should be out there talking about it. >> judge jeanine: jesse, the biden administration just unveiled a massive set of highway emissions regulations as americans are getting ready to spend money for the holiday, and the finalized rule requires state and local transportation agencies to establish greenhouse gas reduction targets that they may not be able to make because people are not buying these vehicles. >> jesse: they're not hitting any of their targets and half of the offshore wind projects off the east coast have been cancelled or are about to be cancelled. i was trying to find where the market is to buy a green new car and i couldn't figure it out. because if you live in the city, where are you charging it if you park on the street? and if you happen to be able to afford a garage, that's like five to $800 a month more. they don't have chargers in garages. are you going to buy another car that's electric and you have two cars in a garage in manhattan? that doesn't even happen. so then you're out in the countryside. are you actually going to buy a car in the countryside where you have to drive miles and miles and miles? you won't be able to charge it. then i'm thinking, if you do happen to charge it in the country side it takes 20-40 minutes to charge. who has that kind of time to sit around at a charging station? i have errands to do and i have to be back before dark. and then, for safety reasons. so now you're only targeting the suburbs and who lives in the suburbs, you have older people in the suburbs. older people are not buying electric cars. it's just too different. they're not just going to start -- they can barely do e-mail. and then you have suburban housewives, all right? and suburban house hubs. usually the women don't control which car to buy. sometimes -- >> judge jeanine: really? >> dana: that's not true >> judge jeanine: no, no. wrong, wrong. timeout. let it go. >> jesse: the women choose cars you're right. okay, fine. maybe. anyway, let's just say the women that i know at least aren't tech people. they're not like, oh, let's get an electric vehicle. no, that's not what they're about. so the men in the suburbs, a lot of them drive pickup trucks. if they don't drive a truck, they're a conservative and not buying an electric car. so now you have this market, this is liberal suburban house hubs. those are the only people in the market for an electric car. that's not a big market. >> judge jeanine: thank you jesse. >> jesse: you're welcome. >> judge jeanine: an an older suburban ite greg do you have an electric car. >> greg: not yet but financial tip i have bought stock in extension cords. i have a theory that they're trying to replace our fossil fuel cars with evs. >> jesse: that would not be great. >> greg: no, i think the government's getting spanked by the invisible hand of the free market.
