now in Greg Gutfeld it's five o'clock in New York City and this is the five
President Trump is standing firm on his decision to pull the plug on a White
House invitation for the Superbowl champion Philadelphia Eagles the
president instead hosting a celebration of America event we love our country we
respect our flag and we always proudly stand for the national anthem it's about
time that we understood we stand to honor our military and to honor our
country and to remember the fallen heroes who never made it back home after
his city's team was disinvited Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenny slammed the
president as quote not a true patriot and launched a new personal attack the
guy is just a scary guy and I I don't know what I don't hopefully by the time
he's gone we can recover from from this from this mess but this is a bad time in
our country I'm frightened about the fact that he has his hands on the
nuclear codes that he threatens to you know to annihilate North Korea meanwhile
Wow meanwhile the White House is accusing the Eagles of playing politics
if this wasn't a political stunt by the Eagles franchise then they wouldn't have
planned to attend the event and then backed out at the last minute and if it
wasn't a political stunt and they wouldn't have attempted to reschedule
the visit when they knew that the president was going to be overseas and
if this wasn't a political stunt they wouldn't have waited until Monday jesse
is a die-hard Eagles fan and he was there for all of the action at the White
House hey Jesse hey Kimberly how're you good good good so how you feeling about
this whole things I know you're a huge Eagles fan so you get to be there yeah
so huge fan let's just get one thing straight though both are winners the
Eagles beat the Patriots and Trump beat crooked Hillary so we'll have that no
one's ever going to take that away from us but this is tough for me you know
Eagles Trump I'm a Philly guy I'm gonna have to side with Trump though it's like
the Eagles try to trick play Trump sniffed it out and shut it down I don't
like how they played the gamesmanship with the guests
they started with 60 and then 24 hours before it was less than 10 it was like
an owner an assistant coach and a mascot I mean come on and then you have the
mayor coming in he doesn't speak for the Philadelphia Eagles he sounds like Joy
Behar the guy's a joke what mess is this country and its record unemployment I
don't know what this guy's talking about so he kind of compounded the error but
everybody was happy to be there they didn't see the Eagles they saw me I was
kind of the consolation prize although one person thought I was Ted Mosby I
don't really know who that is and another person thought it was Tucker
Carlson Wow so you're just really winning over there huh all right a big
day you today for Jessie okay well that's fine at least all right so Brian
you want to chime in to get some stuff for Jess Jesse so for you under if we
understand this correctly the Eagles didn't show off at first they made it
clear earlier that late last week they were gonna show up so they actually
tried to Trump Trump and won Trump pull the rug out from them then the attacks
came so who's the winner here I don't get it well like I said they're both
winners the Eagles still have the trophy that's
never going to change and Trump does what he does you know he did the
Singapore dance with little Rocket Man canceling the meeting and then bringing
it back on but listen the Eagles don't look good here but Philadelphia fans I
don't really think they're gonna care that much we're still going to cheer for
the Eagles and the Trump people in Pennsylvania is still gonna pull the
lever for Donald all right well there we go Sports Center meets like news at
night okay Juan you have some questions for this so Jesse I'm like deeply
offended man you mean nobody said hey aren't you Juan Williams you know I
thought Trump though had a big win on this subject last week when the NFL
owners said they were setting new rules for this coming season that would
require the players to either stand for the anthem if they're on the field or
remain in the locker room but then this morning he's tweeting out
hey no escape to the locker room and I'm thinking you know the owners aren't even
escaping here Trump is bull both the players and the owners am I
wrong I think bullying is a tough term one I
think we all need to grow up and stop being so sensitive about bullying here
these are billionaire owners that making a fortune I think everybody is a grown
up here but listen he didn't like the settlement he didn't like this kind of
in-between deal where you get to stay in the locker room for the anthem are you
gonna come out and stand he wants it all in you're either a hundred percent for
the country and the flag or we're not gonna play ball and he's gonna fight
until he's satisfied and we'll see who backs down it looks like the owners back
down a little bit maybe they got some more backing down in them we don't know
all right hey Jesse so any more highlights from the day well I'm a
little nervous because when I was trying to talk to the president when he was
leaving any get a chance to but I lost my dad for a second who I brought and I
caught back up with them and I said dad where were you when he goes I just did
an interview with ABC and I'm like I'm like was it local ABC he goes I don't
know it might have been national so I have no idea what my dad said on camera
to ABC I think he's jealous that mom tax is taken off yeah I don't know what all
right well I think your dad's gonna get an agent next right that's right I don't
know that's very cool I'm glad you guys I've found each other buddy system and
all all right well it sounds like it was fun we're gonna have to say goodbye now
parting is such sweet sorrow Jesse get back to winning thank you please how
come people say well president Trump should have had it anyway
where does it even come from he has the mascot the owner who hates him by the
way said it despises him since he's destroying the country and then one
other player perhaps what do you mean he's gonna have it how could he possibly
have it he had no choice but to cancel it's not true he could have taken the
upper in fact he had issued an invitation no party without no people
the point is the players the players didn't want to be used as like you know
for a photo op they wanted to have a real interact I think they requested it
they're coming time with Trump they were told no no they were not told no there
was the request wish with 85 requests for invitations and
press credentials yes that's right that's what I'm saying but you know that
that photo op is something that's been done for $25 they don't want a photo and
this is something that one of the former players said you know it wasn't just
about the standing a lot of these guys don't like Donald Trump
okay sorry well so Dana let's talk about how this played out right because people
were expecting this big you know fun happy things for it's done the national
anthem gets introduced into it then you've got the mayor who sounded a
little bonks I don't know he was kind of crazy can I just say I just think the
whole thing is just all of it is just a real shame I don't like culture war
stuff I think that the president has such good news to talk about in fact
they lead the White House briefing today with Kevin Hassett
to talk about the economy which is roaring and they have all this stuff and
because cultural cultural stuff will always rise to the top and will get
covered the most I do think it's a shame I don't know I would like to know more
of the details because I think some of the facts at least as I understand them
at least are in dispute did they want to have a personal meeting with them behind
the scenes right as they did okay so and I don't know but then you said that they
did it no they requested by saying along with
the credentials I don't know that they were denied I did not hear him but it is
possible that maybe one of the best things to do is just to stop having
teams come to the White House and focus on the people's business all right so
Greg yeah where do you fall down on this uh I don't give a toss about these
players okay I'm only here to talk about it because we have to talk about it the
economy is good there's low unemployment terror right where is Isis right now
North Korea is at the table we have Iran on watch right we have so like you said
so much good news that I really don't care that these players are upset or
they're offended I don't care they are millionaires they're the owners
and billionaires you know what baby would I would like to do see Trump do is
maybe do some more do a big drilling initiative to deal with the gas prices
that would be good but the media has really carried the water on this and
made this a terrible story they claim that it's not directed at the anthem
which goes against our eyes when you watch a football game you're watching it
you could say no it's about police brutality but we are watching it
happened during the anthem and what you're saying is well the anthem is a
political act standing for the anthem is a political act if that's the case then
so was the fourth of July so is the flag that's garbage
number one it's just it's just a symbol that's all it is no number two saying
it's a free speech issue it's only a free speech if it's pertaining to the
government this is an actual business no you're not getting arrested for saying
something you're actually just being part of you're being penalized as an
employee so the way the media is carried this and you sought specifically in the
press conference in which April Ryan and the other dude from NBC can't think of
his name we're peppering Sanders with just
redundant stupid questions like aren't you aware this is about brutality yes
aren't you aware that the message is convoluted that when you see players up
there they're making the big sitting during their kneeling during the the
national anthem they're making a huge mistake there they're injecting politics
into a non political event we talk about this every year we talk about oh the
best way to ruin a Thanksgiving dinner is talk about politics so but somehow
it's different at a sporting event you can come in and inject politics no you
inject politics at an appropriate venue you pay the price people don't want to
hear it we are so over this move on let me tell you something how important this
is this is about I've been over ain't playing culture wars as Dana said but I
think it's particularly dangerous because I think it tears at the fabric
of our society i agree with regard to race absolutely and i think everything
through the prism of race I do not but I'm telling you in this case I don't
have any doubt about the color of the majority of the players or the players
who are the ones who've been kneeling and raising a fist to protest these
brutality all right and I think it's their legitimate you said oh it's not a
free speech issue it's let me go or it's not a yes is turning hatred let me just
explain to you I think that in fact the rolling out of the flag and the anthem
and with the players on the sidelines is a new reality it used to be that they
were always in the locker room during the playing of the national anthem now
they're on the sidelines and in recent years there has been an explosion of big
flags flyovers oppression of milk why because
in so many cases in fact what you see is that the NFL was charging the military
it wasn't it was politics and sports politics and space is important in
America today let me I want to agree with them on this there are issues with
the criminal justice system but this debate the specific debate did
absolutely nothing to help the dialogue instead he created two separate teams
bro anthem anti anthem you could say no that's not what it's about but when your
eyes look at something and you see it happening
that's what visuals are the most persuadable thing and people see that it
did nothing for the quote dialogue all it did was alienate sport fans if it's
sporting fans and to another point if you believe that Standefer the anthem or
the flag is a political event that's on you for being political no I stand to
the anthem myself but I'm just telling you that what you've got here is a
situation where Donald Trump has found a way to stir his base because this has
nothing to do with the national anthem nothing to do with the blacks
nothing to do with love of our troops because the even the NFL Players
Association today Kimberly put out a statement says we love our troops we
love our country we love our what do they have to do that because they're
standing up against what they say is police put that statement out because
that's exactly how it was perceived as
he wasn't the one thing to me he wasn't he has picked up on it since these big
questions that bothers them and I just say I can agree with both you on this is
it another tie Donald Trump no I can agree well I tie everybody can't believe
here's the thing the president the president should if he wants to talk
about the economy he can lay out when he wants to he has not taken on Kim he's
not taking on Lavrov if he wanted to talk about the economy he just wouldn't
tweet about this he wants this fight
unemployment among blacks and minorities and women right now so yes that's
somebody who really that can relieve it you know when you look at this long how
he long son what I'm just telling you like Steve Kerr also know this is not
about the flag he is using this to attack him and are not to attack the
president to try to call him racist to say that he's against black people when
there is no evidence to suggest inclusive workplaces in America but now
as a result of Trump's interference it's absolutely corroded the relationship
between the owners lacks leaving the NFL in droves you know if they did or that
would be something wouldn't it I think the NFL is just fine a lot of you knows
are standing by their players too so to try to tie this in tangentially to a
president Trump and call me a racist and that he wants to tell us black people to
shut up is just completely out of line my political story is true it looks like
a scripted event to embarrass the president give me 85 passes give me 70
passes give me the right give me one for the mascot and the owner that's a
scripted attempt to embarrass the White House and what happens when they show up
and Trump stands there and says oh these guys are supporting me and oh please
they don't want to be used why does
you're gonna comment in less than 24 hours with fingers and they pull the
core mates like a bait-and-switch and so then he shows up there and there's like
the math or goofy mascot and whoever and this is so pointless right we do we had
to go and if I've been going to North Korea and you're saying Trump doesn't
listen that's right you so now for some bad news
pretend ahead of key primaries in eight states find out why when we return
