Tensions flared on Fox’s The Five Tuesday night when co-hosts Jesse Watters and Jessica Tarlov clashed over their opposing political perspectives.
As usual, the panel—featuring Watters, Tarlov, Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino, and Emily Compagno—tackled various topics, ranging from the recent shocking Cincinnati brawl to the Democratic party’s strategy for next year.
The Democrats have asserted they possess a “bucketload of new talent coming” in 2026 and maintain they’re well-positioned entering the new year – a claim that clearly rubbed devoted MΛGΛ advocate Watters the wrong way. It comes after Fox News fans declared it’s the ‘end of MΛGΛ’ as Trvmp lost it during a press conference.
“But Jesse kind of raises a good point. Jessica, if this bucket exists, yeah, where are they hiding it?” Gutfeld asked.
“What are they waiting for the right time to dump the bucket off over our head, like it’s Gatorade on a sideline,” he continued, as Tarlov’s jaw dropped to the floor.

She then argued back, “No, I always love those moments. The coaches like they look surprised, but they love it so much [but] the bench is in plain sight, you just don’t want to acknowledge it.”
Gutfeld pressed her once more, demanding, ” Where is it?” in reference to the “bucketload of talent,” prompting Tarlov to shoot back, “It’s Andy Beshear.”
Before she could complete her argument, Watters interjected, declaring, “Andy Beshear? Oh, did he speak at the convention in Chicago? He didn’t speak. Did they say anything that anybody remembers at Chicago’s convention?”
When Tarlov managed to interject, she erupted, “Are you kidding me? Just talk about being in the wilderness. We’ll get it together. I would like to bring out some winners from your bucket, though your bench. Carrie Lake, Mark Robinson, and Doug Mastriano were floating, going against Josh Shapiro again, which won’t end well for him.”

“And they’re freaking out in Texas about Ken Paxton winning this primary, because he’s not going to be able to do as well in a general election as John Cornyn. What do you say to that? How’s your bench?” she demanded.
Jesse fired back, “I like our starting five, I like Rubio, Hegseth, Vance, and Noem. You don’t even have a starting five,” while Tarlov protested, “Yeah we do!”.
“No you don’t, you’re talking about your bench you guys can’t even get into warm ups,” Jesse shot back.
Jesse’s comments didn’t sit well with The Five audience members, who criticized him beneath a video clip of the exchange posted online.
One viewer confessed, “Omg, I lost 10 IQ points watching that. Jesse Watters has a great future as the next unqual1fied buffoon in Trvmp’s cabinet. You know it’s coming.”
A second viewer noted, “That’s 4 people @JesseBWatters you f——- idiot,” with a third echoing the sentiment, commenting, “Someone please tell Jessie that’s four, not five.”
Another user joined the conversation, stating, “Watters is such a clown. Each one wholly unqual1fied or corrupt. All of them grifting all along the way.
“@FoxNews @JesseBWatters needs no help from Jessica to look stupid,” wrote another individual. Meanwhile, a sixth fan humorously commented, “Jesse can’t math just like the rest of MΛgΛ.”
It comes after alarming Trvmp health fears over a huge bulge spotted in his pants.
