i'm judge jeanine pirro, along with jessica tarlov, jesse watters, dana perino, and greg gutfeld. it's 5:00 in new york city, and this is "the five." ♪ ♪ the biden administration is now openly mocking americans who aren't buying into their electric car scam. joe biden's fantasy of replacing your gas guzzler with an ev is short-circuiting. sales are nowhere near what the administration promised, and most people don't have the green to go green. but america's hard hat wearing transportation secretary is keeping the faith. pete buttigieg is dismissing anyone not on board with the ev revolution as some kind of tech neanderthal. >> let's be clear that the automotive sector is moving toward evs and we can't pretend otherwise. sometimes when these debates happen, i feel like it is nearly

2000s and i'm talking to some people who think we can just have landline phones forever. the reality is that the automotive sector is moving toward evs and the u.s. can either fall behind china, or we can claim the lead. president biden wants to make sure that those evs are made in america. >> judge jeanine: buttigieg going on to brag about his at-home charger, which is a luxury that he is afforded, but not for the rest of us. joe biden has spent $7 billion of your tax money and has produced only seven stations in two years. >> there are more ways to move electricity than there are to move electric -- then there are to move liquid fuel. that is why my house in michigan, i can fill our hybrid plug-in electric with electricity. obviously i cannot do that with gas at my house. >> judge jeanine: truckers are bashing biden's ev push in their industry, saying electric big rigs are a pipe dream.

watch this. >> there was a company in illinois that was going to put a terminal in for 30 trucks. the city said, you can't do it. you are going to use more electricity than the entire city. >> our newer trucks will have to have a longer than usual warranty. they are going to add that into the pricing of the trucks. which, for smaller trucking companies, they are not going to be able to afford it, so they are just going to have to extend the life of their old trucks and become less efficient and it ends up creating more pollution. >> judge jeanine: all right, jesse, you know, it seems the administration is in a big rush for this when the infrastructure is not only not ready for the charging stations, but it appears that our electric grid as balkanize as old and it is, is not going to sustain these electric chargers. >> jesse: it's not. my dad sent me one of those funny old man videos from the internet, what's the difference between a liberal and a conservative? at its arts out, well,

conservative doesn't like to eat meat. he's a vegan, that's fine. if a liberal doesn't like to eat meat, who tries to meat anywhere. liberal doesn't like a talk show, conservative just changes the talk show, the liberal will ban the talk show. republican doesn't have health care, maybe he is down on his luck, they see what they can do to improve their life. the liberal? give me stuff. free health care, welfare, make my life better. it's about personal responsibility. we live our own life and make our own decisions. we are accountable. and the liberals just want to get everybody in society involved in their business. and i've had it. just because something is new, jessica! does it make it better. i know a man who only drinks liquids that have been around for a thousand years. only drinks tea, wine, and water. should he drink a gatorade because it's new? because it has electrolytes, jessica? of course not. something that is new doesn't

mean its progress. things that have been around for thousands of years are actually pretty good. look at the architecture, you see around these great buildings, some of them look like they were just put up a couple years ago, and they look like vomit. how about fashion? do you ever see men's fashion these days? it's ridiculous. go back to 1820 in great britain, everyone looked like a stud. [laughter] do you think it is better to read a book, or do you think it is better to stare at the stupid screen all day? it's better to read a book. did you know this, jessica? >> jessica: i -- >> jesse: that an electric car is twice as heavy as a regular car. so we are going to double the weight on all of the parking garages, the roads and bridges, do you think the last bridge that collapsed is going to be a one-time thing? everything is going to collapse. >> jessica: the test law the same as a shipping container? >> jesse: you're doubling the size and the weight of everything that is on the road, what do you think is going to happen to the roads? mayor pete couldn't even fix a

pothole. there is going to be be thousands of potholes are on the country pete >> judge jeanine: thank you. would you like to respond, jessica? >> jessica: such a rich diatribe. there is so much in there. i would be fine if most men dressed like upper-class brits from the 1820s, but there were a lot of people not looking so hot in 1820, as well. so fashion, what else, the infrastructure, we know the biden administration cares about that. what else did you have thrown in there? the person who only drinks wine, t, and would never touch a gatorade. >> jesse: my point -- >> jessica: i know what your point -- >> jesse: doesn't necessarily mean the new thing is better. >> jessica: no, sometimes there are things that are invented that are terrible, but

there are other things that are amazing and we should have a conversation about how you consume things because you say you are happy to give this up so you just sit there with your big book, but i don't think that -- >> jesse: didn't say i'd give it up. >> jessica: but you said it was better. any who. this is one of those issues where the administration does have a good answer to a could go towards, which is hybrids, and everyone agrees about that, so mayor pete -- secretary pete, sorry, mayor pete is so much cuter -- they know that the car companies, because all of the ceos come out and said we are not going to be able to make these targets. it is our aspiration to be able to cut down on emissions, but the infrastructure doesn't work

for this and we don't have the appetite and they are too expensive for people, and most people who are driving electric vehicles are driving tesla's and we know that test laws are very expensive comparatively. so the hybrid route seems like the right way forward and i think that is what they should be emphasizing. and the ceos of these companies would also be happy. >> judge jeanine: you know, what is interesting, greg, the evs are slowing down in terms of people's appetite to have them. even tesla has suffered a slow down, in terms of purc purchases. so what is buttigieg talking about when he says we don't want to fall behind china? aren't we buying all the batteries from china to begin with? >> greg: yeah, i just have to

say, i just know just the too well now. you sat down they are going, i can't believe we have to talk about this, and so you just decided to completely derail the your hands, grandma! for still using your landline. and we push our argument based on faulty science and faulty statistics that are all coming apart now. landliners word pressured or vandalized, had their places vandalized as a means to encourage them to change. gas-powered vehicles, unlike land lines, provide the foundation for the running of this country pure your food, your housing, your work relies on consistent energy. and as much as we like wind and solar, it is not consistent.

and with electric, it is great but it is an alternative. it is an option. it is not a replacement. finally, to point out the obvious, when he was talking about his electric car at home, he still has to plug it in. like a landline. you don't have to plug in -- you don't have to plug in a gas card. and this has always been my issue, someone who suffers from cas, which is charge anxiety syndrome, you know, you're charging plugs, you are worried about your batteries, laptops, phones, airpods, speakers, i don't know if i can handle another charging station and worry about my car. i already suffer from our tpa, which is a road trip pee anxiety where i'm constantly worried, get older, going on long trips, can i do two or three hours of driving without stopping?

so you are going to add to the rtpa this charge anxiety come i don't think i will ever leave the house. >> dana: it is almost hard for you to get to the show. >> greg: i might have to go right now. [laughter] >> judge jeanine: you know, juliet illinois would not allow for the building of a terminal with charging stations for these, i guess, 18-wheelers. they said it would overburden the electric grid. >> dana: absolutely and also for the truckers, this is really important, if you think your product is expensive now, wait until the truckers cannot deliver their goods on that a charge for two hours, 70 miles, charge again whereas today they fill up once, they do all of their deliveries for a day and fill up again, so the truckers have a very good point and it goes right back to your pocketbook. we buried the lede on something jesse said. his dad sent him the old man video? may be the dad is turning a little bit. i am always surprised, it's like the biden administration beliefs -- maybe they believe this is true -- that secretary buttigieg is their sharpest communicator.

but every time he talks, that doesn't make any sense. as you were saying, the government was not trying to give people money in order to get them to leave landline's or buy cell phones. people did that because it was convenient. >> jesse: cell phone rebate. >> dana: it was convenient and also families did a cost-benefit analysis. it is worth it for me to have this phone because it is convenient or i will feel safer with it. the other thing is the messaging progression on electric vehicles has been very fascinating. it began with you can save money on gas and that is why you should get electric vehicle. remember this was at the beginning of the biden administration. and then it turned too we will literally pay you to buy these electric vehicles. hears all of these subsidies. now it is if you don't buy these electric vehicles, you are a flat earth group. thank you, that was the point i thought of right before the show. >> jessica: it was a good one. >> dana: i really worked on that all day and i had until that moment. >> judge jeanine: okay, coming up, dr. jill is giving the biden campaign a checkup after some scary poles. ♪ ♪ here's to getting better with age. here's to beating these two every thursday.

putting morality aside, you know, the reason for the red wave was abortion, and you could argue the border crisis, the crime crisis, our educational system crisis, all came about because of abortion. it galvanizes single female liberals to get out and vote, which you end up with a party that is almost singularly about abortion and almost nothing else, so everything else goes to hell. so my question is, is it time for the republicans just to let it go, let them have their abortion, they can abort all they want, but just let them have that issue because in the long term, engaging ends up destroying all of these other issues and bringing this country to the precipice because they can't govern anything else. >> dana: so i will try to do this quickly. >> greg: take your time. [laughter] >> dana: it is hard to set aside the morality of this issue

because roe v. wade was 1972, so for 50 years, everyone talked about life beginning at conception, if you are pro-life, march for life, it galvanizes an entire political movement for a long time, leading to the push for conservative judges on the supreme court -- not the only issue, but certainly one of the biggest. and the democrats, what i mentioned yesterday, i'm going to say it again: when biden tried to go after trump yesterday in michigan they had billboards and ads. what did they say? if trump wins again, michigan families will face three issues. the number one issue they wrote, and abortion ban, national abortion ban. second economy, third immigration. why would they do that? is because they know it is the republicans achilles' heel and it is a big one that is about to snap. they have won back about a lot of special elections -- you can look at the gallup poll back from yesterday where it says nationally people think the most important issue on the ballot is certainly not abortion, it was done like 2%, but when you start to look at really close margins like in many of these states where it is close, you look at pennsylvania, for example, in

wisconsin when there was a special election on the the turnout in madison, wisconsin, where you have the university there, it was off the charts. the sound bite you just played, when i interviewed him right after the red wave, failed to materialize, do you think abortion will be an issue in 2024? on the state ballots? he said, if i have anything to say about it, it will. this weekend, what do we find out? more and more states are trying to figure out a way to get abortion on the ballot in certain places, including florida. i could go on and on. i would just think the republicans have to realize this is an issue that no matter what president trump says, if he comes out and gives a statement next week, as apparently he is going to, whatever he is going to say about it, whatever he says, the democrats are going to say he's lying to you, and he's going to push for a national abortion ban, and they will have plenty of tape to run from the previous administration when the president was in office to try to back that up. >> greg: what do you think, judge? >> judge jeanine: i think it's a tough issue, but i think it is a defining issue. i think one of the dumbest

things that happened was after the dobbs case, a senator came out and wanted to pass a bill to ban abortion, a federal bill, which was absurd because he didn't have the numbers, number one, and number two, we were just coming off the dobbs decision. i think the idea that the democrats, who were going to dig in on this issue in any which way they can, by making sure it is on every ballot, and you know what, greg, even if it is not on the ballot, they are going to make it a part of their campaign. the fact that americans are worried about the economy and immigration doesn't matter. they are going to speak to abortion and that is an emotional issue. i think one of the reasons that nikki haley, you know, hit a chord in this country, was because she talked about it in a way that it touched americans. she talked about it in a way where she said, you know, i am personally against it but xyz. there is nothing that

republicans can do, given the dobbs decision, given the movement towards the decision, that will convince anyone of anything otherwise. now the fact is that it's not a constitutional right. that ruth bader ginsburg agreed it was not a constitutional right. that it is left to the states. what is your problem? this is a democracy! get going in your state, get it on the ballot in your state. it is not a federal issue. thank god. but in the end, i think that it is going to be a problem for republicans, and they have to address it in a way where they sound reasonable and not crazy. >> greg: speaking of reasonable and not crazy, jesse? [laughter] i was going to go to you. jesse, i would love to hear a long monologue in which you incorporate the same themes you had in the a block. >> jesse: my father sent me this far you video about abortion. a lot of men and a lot of women

in the media and in the elite circles don't talk to young single women that much. in their 20s. and when we do talk to young single women, we are definitely not asking them about their feelings about abortion. so i have no idea what the electorate is going to do about abortion. it's so impenetrable to me. it is not something that comes up in conversation. so we could just be completely blindsided by this issue. because it's very thorny to talk about. and there may be -- and even married women in their 30s, it's still an option on the table for them, and they don't talk about it to anybody, but when they go vote, they might vote just on that single issue. so my answer is, i have no idea -- [laughter] >> greg: you know, jesse, that

is probably the best answer -- >> jessica: you should lead with that m more often. >> jesse: that's the best answer -- >> judge jeanine: that was honest. >> greg: last word, jessica. >> jessica: fully agree with jesse on the he has no idea, and although what dana and the judge were saying about this, i would say, it's not as if democrats need to make up the evidence for this one. donald trump said "i killed roe v. wade." that is his legacy. and for the religious right, for instance, who it is pure and simple immorality issue, that makes him a hero. for nikki haley's supporters, that makes him difficult to stomach, in a lot of ways, because we are seeing these six-week abortion bans, like what is going to show up in florida, and most people who are spoken to a woman know that you don't even get a heart beat scan before six weeks. there is also a tremendous misconception about who is getting abortions, and jesse demonstrates that quite beautifully, the misconception, because he said we are not

talking to young single women. but that is not who is getting the majority of abortions. over 60% of the women in america who are seeking one have already given birth to a child, it's part of family planning peer to be when i said married in their 30s, jessica. in the 20s. >> jessica: in in the 20s. >> jesse: you lost track what i started telling the truth. >> jessica: it is going to show up everywhere but not just because we have a thirst to win or that we don't care about life, but because the american public is telling us that they care about this issue, and for them, it opens up a whole catalog of fish with reproductive rights, having control over your body, and yes, ruth bader ginsburg did say that it was a privacy decision, that is why it was 7-2 with conservatives voting for this, but that is how it is appearing also on a lot of these ballot measures, that is how it should be. it is between you and your doctor to make a smart decision for you and what is also medically best for you. there are women who are suffering in conservative states being forced to give birth to

without the super predator talk and all of that, but you can find this middle ground between wanting more cops on the street or being tough on crime and saying we can still have gun reform, for instance. there are these salient liberal issues that can break through and be married up with being reasonable and that it is dangerous for your city and your communities, and this is what we talk about with the oakland city council meetings, for instance, or what happened in chicago. the citizens of these cities are not saying to you, i woke up and i'm a republican. they are saying, just give me common sense policy. and i think it's fantastic that it's happening there and hopefully it will happen in more places. >> jesse: dana, has the drug decriminalization experiment failed, or are we still going to see more experimentation? >> dana: i would imagine experimentation. marijuana, we talk about abortion being on the ballot, like most states have had legalization of marijuana. going great here in new york city, it's absolutely appalling.

part of the reason is because the regulations that went along with it and the enforcement, that hasn't gone forward. california, for example, it is more expensive to sell it legally than it is to sell it on the black market, which is why they still have gangs selling it, a huge problem. if you want to legalize it, going to work on a lot of different kinks. i look in that video come every single one of those people had a mom who at one point to our hopes and dreams for that child and unfortunately those people are living on the street. in bloomberg today there was a poll, on the issue of fentanyl, that eight in ten voters in swing states say the issue of fentanyl is one of the main issues that will determine their vote, who they vote for in 2024. eight in ten. that caught my attention and hemmer's attention. you will see more of it on "america's newsroom." >> jesse: if i was like that, keeled over on the street, my mother would come find me, and

she would grab me by the hair, and she would just drag me back home and throw me in the shower and say "get it together." >> greg: then your hair would come off in her hand. by the way, you know what is worse than drugs? opening her segment of the black eyed peas. haven't we had enough suffering? he was shameful during the riots, if we remember how he wouldn't do anything for the police, and he was just pathetic, so i don't give him an outcome a jessica. but this is a casualty of the prison of two ideas. the other a war on drugs or a war on society. you either imprison people seeking something other than alcohol, or you let them turn your streets into a zombie apocalypse. which is exactly what happened. we decriminalize drugs, that we also decriminalized unlawful, uncivil behavior. you could have said we are going to decriminalize, but you cannot do it in public.

that's how we treated alcohol and illegal drugs. cops, as far as i know, i don't want to get them into any trouble -- they didn't care if you did drugs at home. they just didn't want you on the streets. if you look at prostitution, you do not see prostitutes anymore because it is all behind doors. they decriminalized without a system in place to disincentivize what followed, so you had drug addicts, clogging the streets, terrorizing families, destroying businesses, and then you add the influx of illegal fentanyl which caused what 100,000 deaths a year, this is the problem with the left, when left to their own devices, they establish no limits. they can't be trusted on these things. so you end up with a health hele that could have been averted. in america you should be free to do what you want if you aren't hurting anyone else. the left stopped in the middle of that sentence.

the left will say, in america you should be free to do whatever you want, but then the republicans come in, if you aren't hurting anyone else. the problem is there are no republicans to say that. >> jesse: would that have worked, judge, greg's idea, judge, if you are decriminalize drugs and then you enforced vagrancy laws or enforced public drug usage laws, would that have struck the balance? >> judge jeanine: no. >> jesse: no? >> judge jeanine: no. the question that you have to ask is why did wheeler and the progressives, after what happened in the '70s, '80s, and '90s, the pendulum swung right, why did, as things started swinging to the middle, why did these progressive know-nothings who know nothing about law enforcement, who have not studied anything about crime, decide they want to decriminalize drugs to create a new model drug policy for the country? it doesn't work that way. drugs don't get here and they are not just purchased by one

person. they are brought in by mules. the way they do it is in gangs or cartels. they need weapons. they need an area, they need a location that only they control. it involves violence. it involves guns. it involves weapons. and it involves serious injury. i mean, it is not as simple. you know, i'll take this, he'll take that, we'll be happy in our apartment. but it's not about that. it's about the fact that the progressives have tried to reinvent what didn't need reinventing. what made them think that if you decriminalize drugs, and they are watching the numbers of homicides go up, the homelessness go up, they are also watching the drug overdoses, the exodus of business. there is no safety for families anymore. i mean, how long does it take them to figure this out? how many people have to die? how many people have to lose their business? how many people had to be in a situation where they couldn't

connect anymore with their family because they were disconnected because of whatever these nonsense progressives decide they think is the way to solve crime and create a new model? it's real simple. you do something wrong, there has to be a penalty. when i was a judge, i was a narcotic judge for a year. if i saw someone who i thought, as a career criminal, he was a second felony offender, that means he had to serve a mandatory minimum. i look at this guy, i don't want to give him a mandatory minimum. he only had maybe a nickel file of something, i don't know. i don't want to give him three and a half to seven. so i will say to him, i'm going to put you in a program, and you better keep your ass in that program because if you don't i'm going to put you in jail for the maximum. but i had the ability and incentive and the motivation to track him that whole time. and i'm not talking about a three month monitoring. i'm talking about a six months to a year monitor. if you can get through with

jobs because you cannot raise minimum wage without raising all of the wages above it. and assistant manager who made $20 when i have to make $25 or $30 per year for you either slice off the bottom of the latter or the top of the ladder. either way you get a tiny little stepladder, which dana has. with minimum wage was $7, that's $56 a day. it's $10 commits $80 a day. for a high school kid, that's good. for a retiree, it's good for cigars and beer. for a family, it is not. it is the mismatching of worker to wage by economists. >> dana: judge, what do you think of all of this? >> judge jeanine: i think it was the unions that were able to get the passage of the bill. i think ultimately it hurts everybody. it hurts the workers who are going to lose their jobs because they can't afford to keep that many at $20 an hour. it also hurts the consumers, when you talked about the prices going up. and there's going to be lawsuits because nobody knows who is

included. there is a lot of confusion here. >> dana: jessica? >> jessica: the confusion part israel and i am sure that is a terrible place for the workers and the owners of these franchises where they don't always going to happen tomorrow. i will say, though, minimum wage has been steadily increasing in california since 2015. so this jump is not a substantial -- it's not like they were earning $8 and suddenly $20, i think it was about $16.50. but you have to ask yourself the question -- two questions. one, to greg's point, do we want a society of 25-year-olds and up that are working these jobs? what can we be doing better to get them trained up to do something else? or to become franchise owners? those are always the best stories, right, someone who worked at a mcdonald's from 17 and ends up owning one. but if you are looking at this for people who are earning and need to support a family, it seems actually like a pretty good deal. the average increase in price is not the 12% for burger king but around 5%.

people are getting sometimes up to a 20% wage bump, which they need to be able to support their families, and i think that is working and the people who are advocating for this are coming from. >> dana: but that won't help them, jesse, if the business owner decides to leave? >> jesse: yeah, dana, talk about common sense. here's a democrat. ready? i pretend i am a democrat. hey, let's build a bridge out of spaghetti. it will be great. we will save money on construction costs, and then we will just pay the workers a thousand dollars an hour. does the bridgework? doesn't matter! and economist says the bridge will be fine. if if you just build it like this, just slide everybody down. at the end of the bridge, there is a bowl of soup. everybody says, that's not going to work. the democrat is like, no, we are going to do it, we are going to make it work. everyone is like, i swear to god, it is not going to work. they start building this bridge out of spaghetti. everybody gets tangled up, sure
