Transcripts For FOXNEWSW The Greg Gutfeld Show 20180819

Yes. On thursday the media spoke truth to power meaning they spoke to themselves. About themselves. Lets hear more from the most trusted man in use. 300 newspapers coordinated articles criticizing President Trump just after he accused him of coordinating articles criticizing President Trump. Nobody read them. If jerks like me were not talking about it with you even know . God, that guy is gorgeous. Yes, you can applaud. [applause] hes the new cronkite. Why should i not quote myself . Is that not what the media does . They are roasting marshmallows, shaped like the head of donald trump. [laughter] heres a question, do the people at home who subscribe to the newspapers no they just read about trump was coordinated hackery . Or did they not notice since such exclusion of drop by the press is identical to their usual workday . The difference they plan this like a protest because it was. Finally the media and the activist politics made their wedded bliss transparent. Its been there all along but now the ring has been put on the finger and they are now grounding second base in front of the family. Get a room. What hypocrisy they say trump is limiting free speech as they all scream this together. Drums accuses of acting as an alliance and they respond as an alliance. [applause] they are going to love this. People get mad when trump calls the media the Opposition Party and he be wrong if you are a democrat but if youre one of those you can say anything about anyone, right john heilman . , the people in the Republic Party think they would be okay for donald trump to dissolve their own grandparents. Im virtually certain that if it was a donald trump related question you get 10 that was a donald trump has the power to kill my parents. [laughter] greg im confused. First you say its grandparents will die in any say its the parents. Make up your mind, crazy pants. [applause] the media love this guy. Hes on morning joe and wrote game change and what he just said is so cartoonish im looking for the falling and. Imagine me saying what he said about obama. Like a pie resting on Michael Moores lap id be finished. [laughter] lets recap. Sorry. The same dopes who slept at the foot of obamas bed who happily ignored explicit stories involving immigration, doj and god knows what else are now wide awake during trump trump as their five hour energy drink. Who will, by the way, kill your grandparents and parents. [laughter] what phonies for the game trump free media, made money hand over fist because of it thinking it was okay because hillary was going to ride into the oval office in a chariot made of pant suits. [laughter] but trump was not the pushover and neither were you. While the media really cold trump nonstop you stopped caring and the press became that weird guy you ignore on the bus. Trump one and now all the media can blame him for what they helped accomplish. Meanwhile the media mob accuses trump of demonizing all news but thats also fakeness. The Dishonest Media did not explain that i called the fake news the enemy of the people. The fake news. They dropped off the word fake and all of a sudden, the story became the media is the enemy. They take the word fake out and now im saying oh no, this is no good. Greg thats no good. [laughter] its no good. The media ignores the corporations that are obvious to us in order to maintain the fantasy that there the oppressed. I can remember many times with some of us try to criticize obama or hillary and recalled racist or sexist. Through fear and smear the media actually silenced opinion. You hated free speech for everybody but you and now you get to attend your the victim . Enjoy the can fire but your justification for the singalong is false. The trump apocalypse is more fake news because i know and i took a history class. I was at the Nixon Library on monday and theres a wall devoted to one year, 1960. Nothing but war, assassination, communism, the massacre, riots, crime, all that was missing was alec baldwin eating a sack of donuts on a bus toilet. [laughter] and i dont even know why i said that. The fact is the media want you to think 2018, a time of peace and prosperity is worse than 68, a time of division in war. As we call them on it they cant handle it. [bleep], own it. You had it coming. Visiting both nixon and radian libraries maybe realize what a Trump Library might be like. I cant wait to see it. Tired of the same old president ial libraries with papers in Historical Records . Youll love the donald trump super extreme luxury library. Were not waiting to hes out of office but the Trump Library is half luxury yacht and supersonic jet located in mount rushmore. You want exhibition . None of this happened which is why the super extreme library is [bleep] awesome. The water fountains are not filled with water but liquor squared from [inaudible]. Serving nothing but super welldone burgers. Theres also a special hall of trump achievement honoring where he cured all diseases from mars. Except for christmas which last two weeks. Its a donald trump extreme library. Greg lets welcome tonights guests. If laughter is the best medicine than all his patients would die, fox news radio host tom. [cheering and applause] shes the best thing to come from australia since you jackmans ass. Holly mckay. [cheering and applause] this kitty kat will not give you a break, National Review reporter kat timpf. [cheering and applause] and his neighbors begged him to stop doing jumping jacks, former wwe superstar in my massive sidekick, tyrus. [cheering and applause] tom, what you make of this activist press . I read every one of those. I thought they were all be the same one but they were different but it was all a variation of the same thing which was this is not about donald trump but about press freedom and by the way heres five paragraphs about donald trump so they cant stop talking about him but paradoxically he knows thats what drives their ratings. For the first time were talking about the Houston Chronicle so everyone is getting what they want but you mentioned barack obama which is excellent as he complain about the press all the time. Greg only one press. Fox news. Back to what is more representative of a healthy democracy . A president who constantly complains that 90 of the media is out to get him for the president who complains about the 5 . That was not licking his boots. Greg im glad you said boots. [cheering and applause] holly, is this helping trump when they do this . Trump argues that the press is colluding against him and they have a conspiracy so what does the press do to prove that they dont have a conspiracy that they are independent reporters . They collude and a bunch of editorials to say oh, lets get the president. Its playing into trumps hand. Its the ultimate for him. Greg its a win. Thats why he let it happen, k kat. I find it to be dramatic. Like what you would do if youre playing the media in the movie, do you know what i mean . They should be thankful that trump allows them to purchase freight in the fantasy roleplaying. Kat well, you have to be allowed because we have the first amendment. Greg what is that again . Kat rightparenthesis freedom of speech. Greg, a look on the Positive Side of things here. Greg no benign breaking news. Kat i know a lot in our audience are upset about these editorials because their anti trump but think about how great it is that we live in a country where you can openly revise the president. Carmack you will not get your head chopped off and you can do whatever you want and you can be open and critical as you want to be in your totally safe and that is great and this has been the kat timpf positivity our and i e everyone enjoyed it because there are probably not be another episode. Greg i dont know if im comfortable around a positive kat timpf. You should only be negative. Tyrus, bring it home. Thoughts on anything you like. Tyrus before i get started on the battle royal between trump media where does one get a bag of donuts . Ive been around donuts my life and i seen them in a box and a cup but never in a bag. Greg 3 00 a. M. In the people are really tired. Trust me. Tyrus plastic bag . Paperback . Greg you use the back later when you drop behind if you cant beat them in one and in my neighborhood can do to try to fight all the time and it did not always work so the four teams. What i my brother for the team with two of the friends to be me up but they were still undersized and outmatched and they got there ass handed to them. Now we will see collaborations between cnn and msnbc and they will be working and itll be don lemon sitting with Rachel Maddow together and if they say it at the same time with him going in the back like that get after them. They are formed up and circled the wagons and if they stick together they can maybe win one of these argument with him and then he will change the rules and column names in no caps that form another committee. [applause] i like it. Its easier to watch it only watch one station. Greg true. Its all the same. All right. The show is not all the same. Its very different. Different to a point that might have a problem. I dont know. Coming up, ago for me has been launched to raise money for peter strock. [crowd boos] i bet his wife told him to go fund himself. [cheering and applause] for just 59. Ancestrydna can open you to a world of new cultures to explore. With two times more detail than any other dna test.

Wifi fast enough for the whole family is simple, easy, awesome. In many cultures, young men would stay with their families until their 40s. Greg remember peter strzock, the agent the fbi fired and it was still investigating him a stop it, you. [crowd boos] he was investigating collusion in hillarys email server ascending into trump emails to his lover but, for me, always remember him as the guy who look like he was scratching his ass with an upturned nail. I already entered the customer and the gentleman from maryland will [inaudible]. Greg whatever he is doing right there cannot be clean. Its just not clean. [laughter] a gofundme page was set up to raise money for him and one day they raised 325 grand and on their way to a halfmillion. This is great news because as proof of a Strong Economy to have all that money to waste on that guy, hooray for the trump economy. [applause] but also that gofundme page made so many people mad that there now donating to wear their causes. Like the world war ii vet who needed a chairlift. This week his stepdaughter tweeted that theyd only raised 400 after two months while everybody is donating to peter strzock. People saw that and gave the gofundme goal or doubled the gofundme goal. A few days later this video was posted. Thank you everybody. Greg finally, something positive coming from twitter. Kat absolutely. Greg you can be positive here, to. Kat this story blew my mind because i always thought i was bad with money until i saw people gave theirs to peter strzock. There is so much cool stuff you can do with money, go out to dinner you can go on vacation you could buy socks with pictures of your cats face rented on to them and i mean, theres nothing wrong with donated money but there are a lot of legitimate causes to actually donate to like people are dying and people out there who are literally dying any money for potentially lifesaving treatments and your donating money to peter strzock. He got fired. Thats not a charity cause. I see that as someone who was once fired from ruby tuesday. [laughter] greg thats hard to do. Kat you get another job and move on. Greg and you deserve that firing. The things you did. Kat i dont want to get into the details because i want to get another waitressing job one day if i need to. Greg that the eternal backup topic i even do it. Holly, what you make of this . Half a million dollars, how much money does it take to win back your integrity, greg. [cheering and applause] can he make millions . I dont know. Greg this is the other thing. Hell make millions off of a book. He doesnt need money. Everybody gets a book off tron. Kat it will be a new genre of books. People trump fired section. [applause] greg , tom, what are your thoughts . Kat we should not feel sorry for his lawyers. This is what lawyers do. They see how much money is available and then divided up and live out their billable hours so that peter, working overtime and ive been up all night writing legal briefs for you. I need all the money. The more money will go to his lawyer anyway. I thank you should get a job on the Hollywood Squares. You be the paul lind of the Hollywood Squares speak. Greg yes. I love it. Im never kidding tired of looking at that video. Tyrus, is there something wrong with me . Tyrus is that the question. [laughter] you want me to go there . Greg we have 45 minutes left. Tyrus you all with the kind eventually whats wrong with him. I am personally inspired by the story. Im excited about it because im going to start a gofundme in case tyrus screws up fund so if i get a halfmillion in case i were to say the wrong thing on tv or apologize on my tv for saying something, id have that link it to fall back on. That be phenomenal. Everyone get together and ill put it show you some of my tweets and put stuff out there and get weird text i set at three in the morning and id be happy to put that out there. I will not spend it now but in case something happens i think thats great. Greg you know what you just invented. Tyrus the safety net. Greg no, social media insuran insurance. Tyrus yes, thats exactly yeah. Greg you half to get home before people watch the show and you have two. Tyrus twitter bomb. Com. You go too far and you think youre on. This will be great. Greg it does not even have to rhyme. Greg social media insurance. Thats great idea. Its when you can go at starbucks and you can go to your coworker and say yeah, i donated to peter strzocks defense fund and every little bit helps. I special in important . Is that a good impression . It really was. Tyrus i dont know what gender it was but im convinced. [laughter] greg i often have that problem with myself. Tyrus which is safe. Everyones included. Greg all right. Still to come, a massachusetts mayor boycott sam adams beer because of drum. Part 450 of the series why people are and now back to the greg gutfeld show. Greg is a public smear over beer. Sam adams is the latest brand with the trump problem. That is what this boston globe headline says. It all started when a massachusetts mayor announced on twitter how brave that he will never drink them adams beer again because the companies cofounder praised trumps tax cuts. That is all the same adam died. Nobody got hurt, no crime but he had an opinion. The only thing getting murdered here is the punctuation in this tweet. But because Everybody Loves to boycott others are joining in. Now, we cant like something or anything fun like a beer because the cofounder likes tron. When we boycotted everything there wont be anything fun le left. We will need a drug for that. [laughter] many white people who do yoga and mostly white people who do yoga so a few of them understand the culture, history and religion behind yoga. Tired of people telling you why your hobbies and interests are problematic . They want to sound educated but dont want to do thinking about what the real problem is or if there is one in the first place which means in 2018 your favorite dating shows are sexist, following custom our cultural appropriation. This is ridiculous. Everything once one is not bad. How will i have fun again . Fund replacement supplement. They make any activity instantly often. As a matter of you watching the bachelor, eating red meat or driving a giant ass card, you wont feel guilty anymore because works directly on the brain to increase your energy. It sounds awesome. Secret ingredient . Crack. [laughter] what . There are no other ingredients. Its just crack cocaine all by itself. I dont know. I just took some fun replacement now want to come over, we take more together or do whatever you want . I am down. Ive got to go. Can i borrow 10 . You know im good for it. Whatever, i never liked you anyway. Warning, under placement supplements [inaudible] [cheering and applause] greg we are not advocating drug use. That the opposite of what we are saying here, the message here so i dont get lectured on monday by the powers that be. What you have left when everything fun becomes problematic . All you do is sit in a room and do drugs. Thats right. This is the ultimate, just say no. Greg or just say yes. Im not a crack man but a powder guy. [laughter] greg really . No, im antidrug. Never loved the crack. Greg good, good, good. Tyrus, what you make of these boycotts . I always feel like their fake boycotts like people dont use the product. Im never using your waterproof clubs again as the guy sitting on his couch he does not have a job. Tyrus you know, used to get mad when i would hear like in my day, we had real stuff but now im that guy. In my day, we did not protest much in the 80s and 90s and we were cool. In my grandpa and stated real protest over real issues. We protest everything which means we protest nothing. Every time i heard theres a protest i changed the channel so i assume its over word has it, pop tart change their labor hell no. There was a big uproar over lucky charms frosted flakes got together and had a custard child that everyone said its too much sugar. Its a box of cereal but its change in one exchange. Fact is protest now and you need seven or eight people for an actual protest and then one person who has wifi gets on twitter leftparenthesis much would a protest is today but it doesnt really matter because ill get protested for saying this but luckily i have that gofundme things started so im good for mac. Greg holly . Do these boycotts and up firing . Absolutely. Im australian and also american and we all have our beer and we grow up with a particular beer because some mayor says dont you beer, you really wont drink that beer . Changer beer because a man said . That i know, never. Ignore him and keep drinking. Thats what i say about a lot of things mac. Tyrus be real. The people protesting probably arent taking beer anyway. Im sure there are more wine. I knew beer will be sam adams. Im about to order me a keg when i get to the house. Greg dont you mean youll get four glasses out of it . [laughter] tyrus ha ha, is a big. Greg cap, i hate boycotts. Especially when they say i used to be a fan until you said ask and now im not. That happens to you, a lot, i noticed. Kat it probably already happened during the show. Greg i used to be a fan. Kat but i dont understand boycotts in general because as someone whos a libertarian and does not have use that line up with either major party, if i only consume things that were created by people who agreed with me, i would die. I would i would starve to death. I probably would not be able to show up in the shower and i like using soap in the shower. Its the best part. Greg it really is. Kat without soap you are standing there getting wet for no reason. Greg that is true. But conservatives dont boycott anything. Liberals get upset over all he did was say think the president but im a conservative and i eat ben and jerrys and its called commie crunch and i eat it. [applause] greg on that note, i think weve all made excellent point here. Coming up, you will love this, another airline cracks down on emotional support animals but i have the solution that will change everything. That is next to mac. [cheering and applause] greg they are making rodents their opponents. This week Southwest Airlines began the latest carrier to crack down on emotional support animals on flight. Doc, cap and miniature horses are still allowed but pigs, ferrets, spiders, reptiles, rabbits and hedge dogs have all been fixed. Airlines expect that the certifying support animals is easy to do online people do now to avoid in kevin pet fees. Earlier this year a woman tried to bring a support peacock on a united flight and us airways once booted a support pig and its owner after a dedicated in the cabin. The pig, not the owner. [laughter] dont want to be that guy, trust me. Bottom line, too many people are gaining the system and its not fair to people who legitimately need service animals. Its why i came up with a brandnew product that could solve all of this. Is a growing problem. The airlines will not let me fly with my support pig anymore. What you mean my support scorpion cannot port . How will i get to detroit without my support headshot . Have you met brad . First human support animal. That handsome therapy that means hes great at lifting spirits. And know youre nervous, no knows about the thing you did on spring break in 2005. Stop thinking about it and look, if the cops you find out you have a whole mother adventure waiting for you. You are right. Hes nurturing. I know you get past aerobic we have not been as many mistakes in life is you might think. If you keep looking for them you will find your bill father. Thank you, i feel better already. He always put things in perspective. Your anxious culture flight was delayed but a friend told me she thought you were cute like tom hanks and you got mail. Youre like tom hanks much less attractive nephew i will take it. The best part, how much for my carryon . They fly for free. Dont worry about your credit score, theres people you went to high school wish they had your credit score. How the [bleep] did you know my credit score . Order him today, unlike your support animal, hes allowed on every flight. [cheering and applause] greg if i had a dollar for every time i ordered brad tyrus, the worst part is people do need support animals but other people are gaming the system. Tyrus yeah, the average flight is what . Two and half, an hour or and you cant suck it up . Sometimes, no. Greg . Tyrus from every expressive had someone elses support animal became my support animal and not they always sit next to you and they say he likes you. I dont like him. [laughter] otherwise i would have my own support animal with me. Its gaming the system beyond. When you see someone that really needs a service animal, chances are you wrecking eyes right away but im sorry, the Kim Kardashian want to be with her yorky in her hand like this and demanding her club soda, i dont feel like you needed to have that other than he wont commit to marriage it will give you children so you bought a small dog and take it everywhere to rub it in his face. Not to that ive been to that. Greg holly, do a theory on this at all . I want to know how i can get him into my home. I think it be great. Greg it would, until it craps. Ive heard those are not miniature. [laughter] yeah, there might be a problem. Can we just get to a point where we can talk to the person next to us and we like to put our earphones and. Tyrus yes, we do. Although we have alternative and it i want to nexus someone with a fake crustacean. We had this amazing chat for three hours about how that had become his support system for flying in every time she flew she wore the crustacean and it was a good luck charm. Greg is like a support fake ammo payment yeah, that would be more comfortable for most of us. Greg wasnt a lobster . Do you remember . It was some strange crustacean. Greg kat, you seem like someone could use a support animal wherever you go. [laughter] kat yeah. Greg i know thats not a question p8 yeah, im outraged by this because i know its [inaudible] i think about lizards a lot. Kat its made way more normal than owning a loser. I know for a fact that you can be emotionally helped by a lizard because just thinking about lizards makes me feel better and being emotionally supported by lizards is not just possible but my plan for my 40s. [laughter] greg excellent p8 i know everyone pegged me at a kat lady but ill throw in a curveball and get lizards and live in a house with all might lizards and be perfectly happy. Greg they could be in the shower because the great with water. Kat i believe those are amphibians, greg. [laughter] greg last word, tom. I think youre too soft on these people. No one needs a emotional support. Service animal, real thing, for a blind person, yes. I cant get water on a plane but people get pets on the plane, no way. [cheering and applause] greg i didnt know the difference there is a difference service animal. Greg for a veteran with ptsd spirit yeah, go with the veterans but its a regular pets. They dont screen anything for i the dog wants he was not al qaeda but he would sympathize with them. Greg you have a terrible dog. He was intolerant. Greg yes. He wanted women to wear the veil, he was ridiculous. Greg i dont know anymore. We have another segment coming up. A study of why people cannot be rude to robots. I tell mike toaster hes pathetic every day. [cheering and applause] my name is jeff sheldon, and im the founder of ugmonk. Before shipstation it was crazy. Its great when you see a hundred orders come in, a hundred orders come in, but then you realize ive got a hundred orders i have to ship out. Shipstation streamlined that wh the order data, the weights of , everything is seamlessly put into shipstation, so when we print the shipping ll everythings pretty much done. Its so much easier so now, were ready, bring on t. Shipstation. The number one ch of online sellers. Go to shipstation. Com tv and get two months free. This wifi is fast. I know i know i know i know when did brian move back in . Brians back . He doesnt get my room. Hes only going to be here for like a week. Like a month, tops. Oh boy. Wifi fast enough for the whole family is simple, easy, awesome. In many cultures, young men would stay with their families until their 40s. Greg can you be mean to a machine . The new study out of germany finds the people can be guilt tripped by a robot researchers asked people to interact with the cute robot im a senior, then switch them off when told to. Then the robot started begging not to be turned off. Saying it was scared of the dark. And 30 of the people complied with the robot thing he felt sorry for him. The take away, quote, people treat Electronic Devices sublet to how they would treat a fellow human being and thus, to mistreat a robot should be considered reprehensible. That was not my take on. Terrified. I can no longer dress up my robot is Jesse Watters and fought him with my leather riding crop. Now if i could just get my cat do not fear my rumba. [laughter] greg kat, thank you for letting us use your apartment. [laughter] kat i have one kat. Greg so far. But every year if you add another one, is this a scary vision for the future . Kat im not scared at first i thought i would have no problem being rude to her robot but then i thought about it, greg. I was very nice to my furby growing up. Like, at a time i loved it more than my own parents. The same with my tamagotchi. I remember when it went back to its own planet and it was in the middle of the night and i woke up my parents screaming and crying. I think they probably liked furby better than me at that point, to. Greg you had a lousy childhood. Kat no, it was great. Furby make great companions for sisters who have others with allergies who can have pets like normal children. Greg tires, should we make our humans feel more like humans so we wont be so bad . Tyrus no difference to me. My xbox has been screaming at me for years. Theres been a few joysticks where i talk to them like they can talk back so i can only imagine if that robot maybe upset he would not have an arm. I would literally be soft to him. I dont believe that at all. It depends on the personality but that particular robot would probably have size 17 tattoo in the middle of his chest every time i had a bad day. Cup of water, greg, im not playing. I dont trust him and cup of water, thats how you get rid of the ai thread. You can squeeze them if you want but youll wake up with a cute thing you forgot to turn off and is about to take your esophagus out. Oh, sorry, dont compete and dont rip him out. Get him now. Get him now, bro. They will fear me. Greg i fear you and im not a robot. Tom, what are your thoughts . Will be have robot rights . We may. We may. Doesnt take a cup of water . Thats all . Greg according to tyrus. He couldve stopped the whole moon landing with a cup of wat water. I think im surprised the numbers arent higher. 30 of the people if a robot tells me dont turn me off, i will not turn them off. I listened to the robot. I get i get on the gps i turned it to the male voice because that female voice your loan in the car and shes like take a left and you like thank you. Im flirting with a lady on the gps so i was like i dont need the temptation. [laughter] greg exactly what youre happily married man. That is cheating where you come from. I put it on the dude voice and im like brew pro, were on the highway have a good time. Greg then you feel something and get confused. [laughter] i dont know. Greg ali, do you worry about robots . No, this story gave me hope for humanity because ive always sat there and wondered how people sit at home on twitter or on the computers and right mean stuff to people they dont even know. I thought, if they can be nice to robot, how can we make that translate to social media and we can have a civil discussion about things we dont have to attack people we dont even know. Greg it says that we are awful because we are cruel to each other but two machines, with the machines and machines take advantage of our love and take over especially if they are hot. We start making robots attractive they will be better than we are and that means they dont have to eat, never sleep or distracted and not take all of her jobs. I will be happy because remember i will be the robot overlord because i already. Tyrus i get told enough to do my life im not gonna have a robot tell me when or where not i cannot turn off. I dont need, so. Greg dont go anywhere. Final thoughts, next. [cheering and applause] so i can buy from enterprise car sales and youll take any tradein . Thats right great here you go. Well, it does need to be a vehicle. But i need this out of my house. vo with fair, Transparent Value for every tradein. Enterprise makes it easy. Greg tyrus. Tyrus yesterday we said goodbye to one of my alltime favorite wrestlers. His Funeral Services were yesterday so my thoughts and prayers go to family. Greg holly. Few of us know what it is to be shot by isis and have a friend here was shot last year and survived. Hello. Greg in the audience . Wow. [applause] glad you are here. Im glad you are here. Kat. Kat i was never shot by isis but one time i texted someone and they did not text me back. [laughter] greg there you go. Youre the real victim. Alright. Thank you to tom, holly mike cap sims and tyrus. And my studio audience. Im greg gutfeld and i love you. [cheering and applause]it. I have never smelled one. Eric i will stick with roses. Arthel thats boring. Jon scott is up next. Jon fox news confirming this hour that a Top White House lawyer has spoken with mueller at length, sitting down with the special counsel three times. It comes as the New York Times reports the white House Counsel dan mcgahn is cooperating extensively with muellers investigation. Now the president is reacting to it all on twitter. Im jon scott. This is the fox report. Fox news has not independently confirmed some of the details in the New York Times report but we have confirmed that mcgahn took part in three voluntary interviews with special counsel mueller. In its reporting, the times characterizes those meetings writing in part, quote, mr. Mcgahn laid out how mr. Trump tried to ensure control of the investigation,
