Gutfeld Just Buried Jessica Tarlov with a ‘Thought Scenario,’ and She Had Nothing [WATCH]

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld criticized opponents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, arguing that resistance to federal law enforcement is rooted in what he described as deliberate ignorance and a disconnect between private behavior and public rhetoric.

Gutfeld made the remarks while addressing protests and confrontations involving ICE, saying debates over specific enforcement incidents miss a more fundamental issue about the rule of law.

“The argument over the shooting is irrelevant if you deny the premise for them being there,” Gutfeld said.

“This is part of the strategic ignorance where the other side doesn’t understand things. Why is ICE here? Why is breaking the law wrong? Why do we need this kind of enforcement? What is wrong with an open border?”

He said critics often force law enforcement supporters to repeatedly justify basic principles of civil order, despite already understanding those principles in their own lives.

“Then you’re forced to explain everything, which takes forever, even though you know that they know, because the same rules that govern civil order also operates under their lives,” Gutfeld said.

“So you know, you don’t sneak into Disneyland, you pay you don’t cut in line at the movies, you wait in line, you don’t interfere with the police, you know it’s wrong.”

Gutfeld argued that people who oppose ICE enforcement while following those same rules privately are being dishonest.

“So until you don’t admit you don’t admit that your private and public behavior align, you are living a lie,” he said.

He then presented what he described as a thought exercise aimed at liberal viewers, involving how they would react if a family member planned to interfere with armed law enforcement.

“I want every liberal, because we have millions of liberals watching this show, to engage in a thought scenario,” Gutfeld said.

“Okay, you ask your sister this question. So what are your plans today? Deborah. And she goes, Well, I plan on filming myself harassing and impeding armed law enforcement.”

Gutfeld said most people would react with concern rather than encouragement.

“So how would you respond to your sister? You’d say, Honey, do you think that’s wise? What about the kids? Where are the kids?” he said.

“Oh, I drop them off at daycare. So what time are you doing this at 11? Aren’t you working? Oh no, not at the moment.”

He continued by describing what he said would be a reasonable response focused on family responsibilities and personal well-being.

“So you drop your kids off at daycare. You’re not working, and you’re going to stop law enforcement,” Gutfeld said.

“Don’t you think this is time you should spend with your family or maybe do a job search or take some classes? Don’t you think this is unhealthy behavior?”

Gutfeld argued that anyone who claims they would support such behavior in public but not in private is being dishonest.

“Now, if you deny to a family member or to a best friend that this is how you would react, you are lying to yourself to protect your public virtue,” he said.

He said this disconnect is what he believes drives what he called “fake empathy” on the left.

“If your sister is telling you that instead of caring for her children or her mental health that she prefers to stalk law enforcement. Would you say you go girl, of course not,” Gutfeld said.

“You would say you need an intervention. I need to stop you, because I care about you, and that is the problem.”

Gutfeld went on to accuse left-wing activists and organizations of failing to protect individuals they encourage to confront law enforcement.

“Nobody cares about good you don’t care about her,” he said.

“The left never cared about the activist group that trained her didn’t care about it.”

He questioned who bears responsibility when activists are put in dangerous situations.

“Who should be sued for wrongful death, who put her in this situation?” Gutfeld said.

“She had no friends, she had no relatives to offer her advice when she was doing this stuff, when she was putting her in her life in jeopardy.”

Gutfeld said videos of activists confronting law enforcement raise questions about personal support systems.

“Think about this pathetic movement and all the videos you’ve seen of these women, where are their friends? Where are their parents?” he said.

“Where are the kids that would say, Mommy, what are you doing? Why aren’t you home?”

He concluded by arguing that political behavior should align with personal values.

“The left always says that politics is personal, but then they separate their political behavior from their personal reality,” Gutfeld said.

“If, if you would tell your sister that this behavior is nuts, then you would not publicly express an entirely different opinion on this matter.”

Gutfeld compared encouraging confrontations with law enforcement to promoting dangerous social media trends.

“No one wants their sister or their daughter or friend engaging in this any more than you would want your child to engage in the tide pod challenge or Subway Surf,” he said.

He ended by warning that public hypocrisy harms vulnerable individuals.

“If your private persona and your public behavior is different, you are a lying hypocrite, and you’re hurting others, and you’re not helpful to these lonely, sad people that we’re leading on in this world,” Gutfeld said.
