It's been a stressful day for a lot of people: Michael Cohen, who had to testify before the House Oversight Committee; the White House staff, who were hit by statements made under oath that contradict President Trump; and, perhaps most of all, the talking heads on Fox News, who have to figure out how to put a positive spin on what looks to potentially be very bad news for the president.
For the team on The Five, though, the stress got to be too much — and nearly led to blows. Things started to boil over when Juan Williams pointed out that Trump has a consistent pattern of paying hush money to people who threatened his reputation. Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Waters didn't let Williams finish, though, butting in to ask if their colleague, Morgan Ortagus, was ever going to be allowed to speak. It devolved quickly from there: "You're always finishing!" Gutfeld shouted at Williams. "There's someone sitting there who hasn't said a d--n word!"
"You are so deep in the bunker!" Williams shot back to which Gutfeld responded: "Oh, shut up, Juan."

The conversation briefly got civil before a fight again broke out about whether Williams' reference to "the bunker" was likening Gutfeld to Hitler. Really. Watch the rest below. Jeva Lange
