the heart of them.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Shannon Bream, along with Rosanna Scotto,

Harold Ford Jr., Jesse Waters, and Greg Gutfeld.

It's 5 o'clock in New York City, and this is The 5.

Okay, President Trump ripping Biden's handlers as we get shocking new revelations on the decline of the former president, including some details about those in his inner circle and how they shielded a frail president from scrutiny.

President Trump coming in hot on this growing scandal posting this. Quote, Joe Biden was not for open borders.
