Fox News host Martha MacCallum was forced to shut down a feisty shouting match Thursday night as her two guests got into a raging debate about President Joe Biden’s comments about the “MAGA crowd.”

Fellow host Pete Hegseth and Democratic strategist Richard Goodstein joined “The Story” where MacCallum asked whether it was “politically wise” for Biden to have called the “MAGA crowd” extremists. Biden made the comments Wednesday, saying the “MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in American history, in recent American history.”

“That’s not what he said at all,” Goldstein claimed. “He said, you know, the police are the good guys. Donald Trump watched the police get their heads bashed in-”

“Here we go, back to January 6,” Hegseth jumped in.

The pair then began shouting over one another, with Hegseth asking “did you say the same thing about the rioters at the BLM protesters?”

“They burned a Biden headquarters too,” Goodstein responded. “So to lay them at the feet of Democrats, it’s nonsense.”

MacCallum then jumped back in.

“Is it politically wise to alienate half the country with that comment? Is that wise?”

Goodstein then said Biden wasn’t targeting independent voters with his comment.

“But that is not what the opinion says and I am not going to let you get away with saying that,” MacCallum said.

“What the opinion says and it bothers me, is each state will get to decide. Which means the voter goes to the polls and is asked how do you vote on the abortion referendum? I can say this way or that way,” MacCallum continued.

“Over a dozen states have passed laws saying no exceptions. The health of the mother, nothing. No rape, no-” Goodstein began before MacCallum interjected that it will be up to the voters.

MacCallum, Hegseth and Goodstein then began talking over one another, with Goodstein saying “Martha’s question is that a way to reach independents. The answer is they are freaked out at the notion that those laws-” (RELATED: CNN Anchor Wonders Out Loud If Biden Shot Himself In The Foot With ‘MAGA Crowd’ Comment)

“No, no they are freaked out you’re a party of defund the police, the party of open borders, the open party-” Hegseth cut in.

“And you’re the party of bashing in police on the Capitol grounds,” Goodstein fired back as MacCallum tried to calm the situation down.

“It’s not fair. Nobody wants to see,” MacCallum began as Hegseth and Goodstein kept going. “Stop, stop, okay. We’re like normal people. Okay? We don’t want – nobody wants to see a policeman’s head bashed in.”

“Whether it’s at the Capitol, I don’t want to see police officers in Minneapolis chased out of their own precinct and driven away from their own precinct,” she continued.

“We have a fair forum here. I’m going to keep that because I want to see – when it comes time to vote, I want to see what independents actually do,” she continued.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
