Greg Gutfeld and Geraldo Rivera, co-hosts of the network’s most popular program “The Five,” got into an argument after the liberal attacked former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
It began when Rivera criticized the former Fox News host’s “conspiracy theories.”
“I don’t wish ill on anybody, but there is no doubt – as I said at the time-Tucker Carlson’s perverse January 6 conspiracy theory was ‘bu****it.” Having lost the election President Trump incited an insurrection that sought to undermine our Constitutional process,” Rivera said.

But Gutfeld, likely noting that the network’s ratings have plummeted in Carlson’s former time slot, is aware that the network’s viewers still adore the former host, and he responded accordingly.
“You’re a class act Geraldo. A real man of the people,” he said.

This is comparable to Gutfeld’s attack on Rivera two weeks ago.
As the panelists discussed President Joe Biden’s plans for electric vehicles, tensions began to rise. This week, the administration set a goal that by 2032, two-thirds of all automobiles sold in the United States will be electric vehicles (EVs). Although the government cannot explicitly compel automakers to produce electric vehicles, it can impose emissions regulations that leave them with no other option.
“I was gonna buy an EV Bentley,” Rivera said. “They offered me a $7,500 rebate. I said I don’t need the $7,500.”
“Thank God you connect with our audience,” Gutfeld hit back before Rivera continued.
“But you see what is happening in terms of the private sector,” Rivera said. “It is changing at a pace more rapid than we ever anticipated. Here’s one thing. Electric-powered vehicles have 60% efficiency in terms of the conversion of energy to the wheels turning. Gas-powered is 17% to 21%. Electric vehicles are three times more energy efficient in terms of making your car go than gas-powered.”
“Well, apparently the message ain’t getting out because Americans don’t want to buy ’em,” Jeanine Pirro said.
“This is great for child laborers in Congo, who get buried alive trying to mine these minerals for everybody who wants these electric cars,” cohost Dana Perino said.
Then Gutfeld launched his tirade against Rivera.
“I’m trying to control myself,” he said.
“Why?” Rivera said.
“Because you said ‘EV Bentley,’” Gutfeld said. “And you just explained why people like you find it so easy to sermonize about electric vehicles, because you can afford it.”
“Are you attacking me?” Rivera snapped back.
“Yes, I am attacking you. You deserve it,” Gutfeld said.
“But then I have to counterattack when you finish,” Rivera said.

“Well, no. The thing is–what I’m pointing out is, you just said ‘EV Bentley’to our audience, right? Who has to pay for the charging stations? Our audience. Who has to pay for the transition from gas to electric stoves? Our audience,” Gutfeld said. CONTINUE READING…
