On a recent episode of The Five, the panel engaged in a lively discussion surrounding the chaos that erupted during the previous week, particularly focusing on an incident involving ICE agents at a California cannabis farm.
Greg Gutfeld asserted that Democrats seem to consistently align themselves with the wrong side of every debate. He attributes this tendency to their binary worldview, which frames issues strictly through the lens of oppressors versus the oppressed.
Gutfeld also cautioned viewers against placing blind faith in their media allies, who, he argues, are equally prone to misjudgment.

GILLIAN TURNER, FOX NEWS CHANNEL HOST: Everyone who advocated for marijuana legalization claimed it would lead to a significant decrease in crime. Fast forward to this week, and we see a marijuana business embroiled in lawsuits for not compensating its undocumented workers, an investigation for employing child labor, and an illegal immigrant attempting to shoot an ICE officer. Not exactly a success story.
GREG GUTFELD, FOX NEWS CHANNEL HOST: Oh, come on. Surely these are just hardworking folks. Theyâre probably honor roll students who engage in community service.
Picture this: a viewing of âJawsâ where the audience finds themselves rooting for the shark. Or imagine cheering for the zombies in âNight of the Living Dead.â Now, envision tuning into âFOX & FRIENDSâ and feeling sympathy for Kilmeade. This bizarre alignment is precisely whatâs happening with the modern Democratâthey consistently choose the side that seems most misaligned with common sense. They cloak themselves in a veneer of compassion, insisting they are the guardians of the vulnerable while, in reality, they are endorsing practices like child labor. This is precisely the stance taken by Gavin Newsom and others who seem to overlook the realities of their policies.
When viewing the parade of misguided decisions, itâs vital to remember that the credibility of the media and polling data should be taken with a grain of salt. They often miss the mark, and hereâs why.
Take, for instance, the narrative surrounding migrant gangs allegedly taking over apartments in Aurora, Colorado. The legacy media initially dismissed these claims, only to later have to retract that position after confirming the presence of the Tren de Aragua gang terrorizing the area. Then thereâs the infamous âMaryland dad,â portrayed as an innocent father, only for it to emerge that he had a history of domestic violence and human trafficking.

Itâs astonishing how the Democratic Party has maneuvered itself into such a convoluted position, largely fueled by their unwavering opposition to Trump. It seems that regardless of his actions or statements, they feel compelled to take the opposite stance.
