we know where those are. we live there and know that. they are ready for it. off we go and let's hope. but the big thing is people are still not allowed to go back in. we are working hard on the repopulation effort where they will ultimately get back in. >> charles: the nation is rooting for you and praying for you. thank you so much, it's been a heroic effort. >> charles: folks, thank you for watching. catch me weekdays on "making money". you have to watch my show on thursday. it's a special town hall unbreakable investor, i will be talking about the new guilded age meeting the new mckinley era. wait until you hear about history repeating itself and the prosperity all of us can enjoy. in the meantime, here's "the five." >> hello everyone. i'm dana pyrepyrene -- as long

with judge jeanine and jessie waters. >> this is kicking off a week-long blitz for various positions. things getting chaotic as left wing protesters was hauled off kicking and screening. and outlining the mission to restore the "warrior ethos". >> i'm going to work to restore the warrior ethos. what gender you are. your views on climate change or whether you're a person of

conscience and faith should have no bearing on whether you get promoted. the only thing that matters how capable are you at your job? how excellent are you with your job? it's time to give somebody with dusts on their boots a job. someone with no vested interest in companies or programs or approved narratives. my only special interest is the war fighter. >> hegseth facing off with democratic senators questioning his personal life and qualif qualifications. >> did you ever engage in any domestic issues with your wives? >> senator, absolutely not. >> you agree that that would be disqualifying as secretary of defense. >> you're quite sure that every general who serves should not go directly into the defense industry for 10 years, you're not willing to make the same pledge?

>> i'm not a general, senator. >> yes or no. yes or no? >> what are you afraid of? you can't answer the question? do you not know the answer? >> yes or no. >> every part has been misrepresented. >> dana: a republican senator markwayne mull intaking up exception for taking up a mirror to every other congress. >> how many senators have showed up drunk to vote at night? have you any of guys asked them to step down and resign from their job? don't tell me you haven't seen it because i know you have. how many senators have gotten a divorce for cheating on their wives. did you ask them to step down? no. it's so ridiculous that you guys hold yourself to this higher standard and you still have a big plank in your eye. we all made mistakes.

>> dana: taking around the table. greg, start with you. >> greg: i like that guy. i like him a lot. what is wrong with tims? tim kaine looked like tim walsh. it's so hard to concentrate when the nominee is so good looking. ladies relax. they are all trying to impress him. when you watched it, did you feel like you were watching a probaseball player in a batting cage? calm, assured and hitting each pitch seamlessly. but if i, i kept sitting there say i wonder how i would do there? how did he reframe from calling liz warren pocahontas. if you remove the saying, so you're saying or sounds like there would be no questions.

every time hegseth would answer, they say, sounds like you pro rape. they care less about what he says than framing their brain parts. pete is the middle finger in camouflage aimed at that managerial class we call politicians. what soldiering and the war fighter looks like. rachel levine, sam brenton, that wasn't the real world but the kind that exploited sound minds. it was so far from reality it was funny. here, he's the public face of the war fighter, not the public face of identity. >> dana: i wanted to add one more thing based on that. a question rick scott asked him. sometimes republicans ask him a friendly question.

here's rick scott asking him why does he even want the job? >> what drives you? >> because i love my country, senator and i dedicated my life to the war fighters. people see me as someone that hosts a morning show but people that know me know my hearts. it's with the guys in the audience who had my back and i had theirs. >> dana: judge jeanine, your thought says? >> judge jeanine: i'm so proud of him. i really am. look. he's going to bring the warrior culture back, and he sat there knowing that they were a lot of things they were going to come at him with. he was cool, calm, steady and prepared. and he was willing to admit what a lot of democrats who want to take the moral high ground cannot admit, and that is i made

mistakes. and i made amends to my god and to my wife. and i am good. i am better for it. you know for the democrats to come out at him and take this really this moral high ground that how dare you come before us when you may have done x, y or z. i love he comes from the military mind set and he is a guy who is not beholding to any of the defense contractors or any of the big companies. he's not a part of that. this is a kid who believes in america. he believes in the fact that we need the strongest most lethal fighting force of men and women to the extent that they are in a position to be able to fight as well. and he's all american. and i just, i'm so proud of him. i mean i was almost moved to

tears. and i love that he hates dei. it has no place in the military. when you're in a fox hole, you have to be with people who can protect you and you can protect them, and that you come out of it recognizing that you owe your lives to each other. >> dana: let's listen to him. this is the last one i will play. this is talking about women serving in the military. >> i never disparaged women serving in the military. i respect every woman who put on a uniforms. my critique is when you saw standards lowered. you mentioned alpha bravo mos and places units. the book that has been referenced multiple times here, "the war on warriors". i spent months talking to active duty men and women, low ranks, high ranks.

combat arms and not combat arms. in ways direct, indirect, overt and subtle, standard have been changed. jessica, i don't expect the democrats will vote for him. did he answer the mail and all the questions they put toward him? >> jessica: i don't think for everyone. he didn't need the numbers and made that clear. i thought the strongest points the democrats made. senator reid, shin and gary peters made, pete didn't meet with any of the democrats, they reached out to talk to him and his team and he didn't take any of those meetings. they all emphasized the fact they have been on this committee for a long time and voted for past nominees from the opposing party. this isn't typically a partisan one as far as confirmations go. i thought that was, it was actually surprised me about pete, someone i know personally

and engages with me across the aisle in conversations and opens up to that kind of discourse. i thought that was a really big missed opportunity, especially in context of the turn that you clearly have seen from joni ernst, very public about her concerns about pete's nomination. someone who has served the country and been sexually assaulted in the military. made no bones in talking about that in very public forums. i thought if joni ernst turned and now in the pro-pete camp, this has been an easy confirmation. it's clear she changed her thoughts on him. in terms of women in the combat roling, elizabeth warren was quoting pete back to him. as recently as 32 days ago, you had a different position on this.

i think that when you look tammy duckworth in the eye and joni ernst. tammy duckworth losing both legs. you better have a good reason to back it up and not oh i'm up for this position now and i decided to change my position on it. one of most poignant moments is pointing to the soldier's creed. what they sign up with and go into battle. how they protect and seven. that sounded exactly like how pete talks about his country. i couldn't really make sense why he would be parroting there's quotas they have to have female quotas. or to say this is all about the wokeification and we heard dei over and over again from the republicans on the panel, i didn't see any evidence of that

when you look at tammy duckworth and women who are not needing a lower standard but can lift the weights, do the run are going out there and doing for our country. >> jess if you met with democrats, they would all love you. >> jesse: it's called a charm offensive. pete was trying to shore up the votes on the republican side and didn't have time for the democrats. to answer greg's question, no you are not confirmable. trump would not have had a better lead off hitter for this cabinet confirmations. this guy hit a walk-off home run, he was eloquent, he was passionate. and the youth factor was huge. you see that guy that spirited, framed up against these disheveled old guys who look

like they need a cup of coffee to walk in there that late in the morning, this is what the generation is there for. to take the range of the old generation who has run this down. the army can't recruit. the navy can't build ships. the democrats were stuck defending the status quo. you need a guy who is not status quo to come in and change things. they voted to confirm all of the guys at the pentagon who were obviously not qualified for job. then they're getting lectured on character about guy that is lied on serving in vietnam or lied about their race to get a job. give me a break. pete never drank on the job. congress just opened up own c canc

cantina. they have beer liquor and wine delivered to offices. pete settled a lawsuit falsely accusing him of sexual assault. congress has a slush fund to settle sexual cases against them. democrats injected politics into the pentagon. they had drag queen story hour. pete is trying to bring it out of there. greg made an analogy. i see it and raise one. pete is like hydrogen peroxide. the pentagon is an open wound. you need pete to treat the wound. stings a little bit, but it's cleansing and it's their fault. you need somebody like pete to bring it home. i'm with judge, i am so proud of pete. i basically taught him everything he knows. >> dana: same for all of us.

>> jesse: we made pete what he is today. >> dana: coming up. gavin newsom is now attacking elon musk relating to the wildfires. when you're a small-business owner, your to-do list can be...a lot. ♪♪ super helpful. ♪♪ [ cheering ] what are invoices? progressive makes it easy to see if you can save money with a commercial auto quote online so you can get back to all your other to-dos. absolutely not. get a quote at progressivecommercial.com. at patriot mobile, we take the word service to new heights. serving customers with top tier mobile service is our business, but our mission is to honor and serve patriots, like harry mcbrien.

>> judge jeanine: the danger in california is far from over. los angeles firefighters continue to be on high alert as extreme winds continue to turbo charge the monster fires that already killed 24 people. as brave firefighters battle to put on the the flames.

desperate gavin newsom is busy picking a fight with elon musk. he posted twice accusing the billionaire of spreading lie says about the state's response and saying musk is encouraging looting. california voters are tired of the leadership. a growing attempt to knock him out of office. los angeles mayor karen bass is facing a recall. she got asked by a reporter if she regrets her trip to africa? >> looking back, would you have taken that trip to africa? >> i am going to focus today, no. >> judge jeanine: all right. what do you think of that, dana? >> dana: a couple things. why doesn't she just say no? when she was running for office,

she said i will never go on a foreign trip and she has been on four los angeles taxpayer dollar foreign trips since she's been in office, which hasn't been that long. so, that was dumb. and all mayors should say i'm not going on the foreign trips. let's just erase that. on the middle of fires, the california legislature announced they struck a $50 million deal on the plan to trump-proof california. so that they could make sure illegal immigrants could be represented by lawyers in the government to help deportation. the other thing is newsom said, pointing out, california soft on crime laws is encouraging looting. guess what encouraged looting? the soft on crime laws. that's what happened.

only just recently changed in the last election. >> judge jeanine: you know what dana refers to, jesse, is the fact that proposition 47 that reduced sentences and also reduced the felonies to a misdemeanor were at the behest of governor gavin newsom. he was into reducing crime, decriminalizing and he didn't support proposition 36 that just got passed when california supported it raising an increasing sentences for drugs and theft. basically he was supporting reap the defenders continuing to loot with no real consequence. >> jesse: i guess you can loot someone's burnt down house for less than a thousand dollars. the united states can build anything anywhere over time. you can't do in california because it takes 10 years to build a reservoir in california but you can in six months in

ukraine. why isn't california on a war footing? it's the most riskiest place you could ever live. with beauty comes great risk. you put yourself in the most beautiful part of the coast line and deal with earthquake, wildfires and mud slides. the government doesn't mitigate the risk. there's a toxic grew of lawsuits and regulation and ideology that you can get rid of. now he's getting rid of all the red tape. are we going to keep destroying western civilization and paying to rebuild it over and over again? no. there has to be strings attached to the money. we're not going bankrupt because we're stupid. they lost $23 billion to a train that doesn't go anywhere. they completely fail every leadership test in california in

natural disasters to covid to the riots and we can't let it happen again. >> judge jeanine: jessica, newsom is facing a recall. we saw it in the last election went up six points for donald trump and went down six points for kamala compared to biden. what do you think the chances are of a recall happening? >> jessica: they already had a recall on gavin newsom and won by a bigger margin. >> judge jeanine: that was a long time ago. >> jessica: we all have pipedreams in life. like california will go red. it's not going to happen. i haven't seen that move on a california recall. i think karen bass is in more trouble in terms of leadership position. in terms of going over elon musk.

this guy is part of the administration. i'm not going to see he's co-president but runs a federal bureaucracy and in charge of cutting $2 trillion from the budget and inserted him. he went to fire briefing to ask questions, pulled off the internet from all these experience theories about budget and water levels et cetera. there's a story the california government confiscated star link or can't work in conjunction with them. to the point strings need to be attached to this. i have never heard from anybody who is advocating for strings to be attached to aid say this about any other natural disaster. good on -- >> jesse: desantis does a good job. >> jessica: let's talk about louisiana, $120 billion in aid spent on louisiana in the last two decades. have you ever said anything

about louisiana? this is so lame. i think we should look under the hood of louisiana for a second. tom tillis to his credit, tom tillis north carolina said we need to treat everyone the same as we have western north carolina. >> judge jeanine: if some point you are delinquent and derelict. jessica, i don't want to make a partisan point. if you can't protect the people of california where you know fires are coming. >> jessica: how about this one? >> >> judge jeanine: you can't get water pressure out of a fire hydrant. at some point you got to pay for it not the rest of us. >> jessica: what about when the grid froze in texas in 2021? somebody they are warned about. governor abbott, i didn't hear that. ted cruz went to cancun.

>> dana: to protect the border which was a federal government. >> jessica: $400 billion out of california. >> judge jeanine: okay, let's get greg into the conversation. >> greg: so far they are dropping retardants, gavin newsom. they attach strings to everything. it's called dei. every single act that requires competence has strings attached. it raises one key question, where is the heroic gesture >> you have someone that steps up. 9/11 is a perfect example. there's no action because the focus was on words, feelings and

public virtue. you have seen this in every facet of life, crime, natural disasters, they come up empty because all they have is social justice and sanctuary cities in platitudes. they don't know how to help you in terms of massive problems. they don't clear brush, don't fill reservoirs, do not save lives. instead it's an empty cost because it costs billions that goes to issues that drain resources. that is an opportunity cost. you mention about fighting trump's integration proposals. even when your home burns down, an illegal with a blow torch is released simply because he's an undocumented welder. >> judge jeanine: very good. in the meantime, musk is being

accused of encouraging looting by newsom. coming up. thank god she isn't president. kamala harris is serving up a word soup for californians. help fuel today with boost high protein, complete nutrition you need, and the flavor you love. so, here's to now... now available: boost max!

>> greg: america dodge aid bullet, kamala's verb schrapnel. >> there's so much work that firefighters and police officers are doing and fema that is critically important. anybody to give you patience in this extremely dangerous and

unprecedented crisis that you do. >> greg: sore loser kamala is declining jd vance to the residency before they move in. this is profoundly asine. telling people whose homes burned down to be patient, no leader has stepped up. she wants to run for governor of california? >> dana: she always fails to take an opportunity on the immigrations are for example. for in this case, could have said, joe, i got to go. put me in coach. i have to figure out. and say, gavin, what do you need? karen shut up. organize everything. there's an article in the "new york times" that says you think of the general who went in at katrina and said, he started

cursing and telling everybody what to do. everybody said thank you. you need somebody that's calm in a crisis. she is somebody who i don't understand how you can be in politics for that long and not be able to not flub three sentences and put them together. as for not inviting jd advance from the a block, and pete hegseth didn't meet all with senates. they didn't hear back and no one refused. when it comes to this, the best way to deal with your own heart ache and your own heart break and i think she's going through a lot. basically to her bed after the election is to reach out and do something nice for others. it makes you feel better. >> greg: this is why i feel great all the time. >> dana: and who isn't charmed

by children? >> judge jeanine: yeah. >> greg: i almost like one kid. >> jessica: i can't put a finger on who it is. >> greg: judge, i'm not sure she didn't say to the victims did you call out of a coconut tree? but all the trees are burned down. >> judge jeanine: you made a great point. absolutely she took to her bed for eight weeks after the election. how different was that from the four years she was in the white house? it's critically important to the extent you can find anything that gives you the ability to be patient in this extremely dangerous and unprecedented crisis that you do. like, seriously, she is saying take a xanax, get a drink? what is she saying? last thing you need in this situation is patience.

you need to get in gear, get your dogs and run out of the house. >> greg: jesse, i come to you in reckless speculation. i think she declined because her husband is hitting on baby sitters. >> jesse: remember the rules and norms? and let the guys stay out in the old with kids. i don't know what jd said about her. maybe doug has beef with jd. they are not the people on the moral high ground, they're just as petty and vindictive as other people. who i will not mention right now because it's unnecessary. this might be the smartest thing she ever said.

because she knows it will take decades to get this thing done. >> greg: that's true. you know jessica, she loves ven diagram. it's an overlap of stupid and dumb. she's brain retardant. >> jessica: i definitely think there's ample opportunity and doug is an l.a. resident. i think he lives in brentwood, this is hometown for him as well. on the inviting the vances over. mike pence and karen pence did not meet with kamala and doug but they opened their home to them. they let them come in and see the rooms. that is especially important to be able to do when you have to put three children in a new home. this is a complete overhaul of their lives. they have been living in ohio, now they're moving to dc.

performing? if you get the chance to perform at an inauguration and have fans from across the spectrum, i hate the pile on. >> jesse: judge jeanine? >> judge jeanine: about michele, you're right. not being at carter's funeral. isn't she proud of her country. remember when obama got the vote, the left criticizing carrie underwood is just crazy. it's just typical they want to cancel her. they are so anti-free speech. so anti-everything they want to cancel this woman who is singing a patriotic song at an inauguration where 77 million people put a man into office.

and kamala has meghan thee stallion singing pornographic. it's ridiculous. >> jesse: who performed at w's inaugural ball? >> greg: i think it was marilyn mansson. millary dove. going after carrie underwood proves no one is safe. i love the trash truck in the parade. i hop you get french fries as a late night snack. that would be great. >> jesse: greg, what are your sources saying about michele's snub? >> greg: i have a source, big mike. she wanted to go but has plans of working with under privileged kids at a dude ranch. interesting. you know i'm not a fan of the village people, too heterosexual for me. you get the sense the mood is
