I watched the Five yesterday because I adore Greg Gutfeld and he was back but I lost my mind when beckel said he agreed with plastic puss Costas and Jason Whitlock that if not for guns the thug football player and his baby mamma would be alive. Both Greg and Andrea did an okay job of slapping him flat but not definitively enough. You can’t tell me belcher would not have choked/beaten her to death. I have ZERO TOLERANCE for lib BS at this point. The Five is the only thing ill watch and only bc of GG.

Gun control my ass...

LMAO! I actually have that on a CD with some other obscure oldies-I liked it when I was 13 or so and had precocious eyes for a gorgeous 17 year old jock who didn’t know I was alive....
