guests, like president trump, tucker carlson, and of course, president trump. so let's take a look at some of my favorite segments from the past two months, starting with the first part of my interview with the man himself. roll it, doris. >> great to see you, mr. president. >> thank you very much, greg. >> the most important question i have to ask you is how about my ratings? >> your ratings are fabulous. i just saw you are the king of late night. i mean, you're beating some very untalented people. i'm not so sure how great that is. they are so bad, and it is about time somebody came in and you are really beating them badly. >> i feel kind of guilty about it because i feel like i'm beating up unarmed people. >> you are. congratulations. >> i am mildly talented, they are just untalented. >> and you are very different. >> speaking of, do you remember how much i hated you? >> there was a period of time when you are not a fan, then you started noticing the things we were getting done. he said i may not like him, but look, we have a good economy, we have a good military, we have good everything, and then you started, and now i think, i don't know if it is love, but it is getting close and we like it. >> i wouldn't say it is love, but admiration. and also, admitting that i was wrong because i was focusing on words and not deeds. and now we are at a time where okay, there are no more mean tweets and we have a really nice president, emma country is in the crapper. who would you rather have? >> not sure he is a nice president, but i can tell you the country has never been more unsafe. we have people pouring over the southern border, which everyone is forgetting about right now because of the travesty of afghanistan. and if you look at the people coming in by the hundreds, by the thousands -- and these are not the people necessarily that wanted the protection. >> right. >> these are people, are they terrorists? how many are coming in? they were aggressive, they pushed their way onto the plane. >> why do you think democrats have such a problem with incentivization? if you reduce friction on the border, you reduce immigration. what is the problem with that? how come they cannot see that? >> i believe it is gross incompetence. the only thing good for them about afghanistan's it makes what they are doing on the border looks good because that was the dumbest thing i've ever seen. we don't want a wall, we don't want this, just let people come through. it is a disaster. the border -- it was the safest border we ever had and now it is the worst. >> what unites all of them is a lack of process. they do not understand process. we just want order. i want people to come to our country, but i want a line and a gate people can walk through. >> and legally. strongly vetted. but when you think they move the military out first, think of this, because we had a great -- even biden come i think they made a great decision, they were all screaming at him, but since president trump, or he calls it, the past administration, signed a deal, not one soldier was shot at. you know why? because they knew the consequences. and our conditions were tough. then they came in and they just moved out -- who would move out the military first? the military goes last and safely. and sadly, those 13 great soldiers, apt 200 people, you know, 200 people, more than 200 people were killed, and a lot of people were badly injured, really badly injured. it wouldn't have happened. >> do you think it is better to be feared, right? that is the difference. they don't fear our president. >> well, i don't know, he just doesn't seem like they know what they are doing. it is not a question -- i don't even think it is a question of fear, it is a question of respect and being smart. when you hear, because i dealt with abdul. let's call him abdul. but that is the man. and he is now the head of the taliban and he was the head of the taliban when i dealt with him, and i started off very tough because you know you are going to pay tremendous consequences, a level of toughness, it was bad, they understood what i said come and there was no way they were going to do anything to us. we could have taken our time, could have taken a year, two years, but to leave $85 billion worth of equipment, for them to fly around apache helicopters, this is the greatest war machine outside of the submarine, this is the greatest war machine there is, the apache. they are very, very, tens of millions of dollars. they have 28 of them. that is more than any other country in the world has except for us. >> i can't even get a gun in new york. if i joined the taliban, i could have gotten a helicopter. >> no problem. i saw that the other day. we can't have guns, but the taliban, they can have 27 each. >> i can have a helicopter that would get me to the hamptons and back. >> that's right. [applause] >> greg: that's only part one. that is only part one. for more, let's get immediate feedback from the media on that amazing part one interview. >> jean nelson reports with jean nelson. >> mr. got felled, first off, i have to say, that was probably the hardest hitting interview of a present i have ever seen. >> things for that. what is your name? >> jean. >> jean, it was a lot of fun, i learned a lot, but it is only part one. i have four more parts event and revealed to go. >> hard to believe it gets any better because what i saw took no prisoners. >> yes, it might have captured your hearts. >> it did. [laughter] ♪ ♪ >> i live right around the corner if you want -- >> why didn't you say so in the first place? a drink of water. ♪ ♪ [applause] [laughter] >> greg: let's welcome tonight's guest. he just offered $5 for the wrestling belt backstage. rick harrison! your mouth can run faster than the criminals she used to defend in court. host of "outnumbered," emily compagno. fox news contributor kat timpf. and he has his own parking space, my sidekick and world champion tyrus. rick, welcome to the show. [laughter] >> i mean, how do i follow-up that interview? >> greg: which one? the look on your face, you are very disturbed and full of regret. >> and i had a tear in my eye. >> greg: one of the things you notice, trump is always entertaining, no matter what. >> it was fun when he was president. with biden, you just know for a fact he is going to say something really weird at a press conference and everyone is going to talk about it -- it's the same thing. trump talks about every taliban gets 27 guns. >> greg: and t that is directionally true, it probably does come out to 27 guns. you should go there. >> i'm cool, i'm cool. >> greg: i will give you -- they will all be in line for the same guns and none of the guns work. the taliban will be trying to give you guns so they can buy opium. >> the whole park gets flooded with these things. >> greg: all right, tyrus, i know you had some thoughts about the interview. have your thoughts changed? >> you know what, man? i normally would never do this, man, but wow, man. >> greg: part one! >> it was a conversation. and you didn't change. no, people when they interview presidents change. you didn't kiss his ass. you had a conversation. even told him, going this guy, this guy? that was a great conversation. the residual effect -- i'm not talking about that second thing, i don't even know if that was. but i am proud of you both coming out tonight, nice job. all around the world right now, you are hearing jim acosta and brian stelter dancing in the streets, we are back, we have something to talk about for the next six months, we have a new book deal, you have brought him back in a way that cnn is excited. you did a great job, and now they are going to roast you for it and go after you forever, and i say bring it on. >> greg: i want to be roasted. emily? emily, good to see you got your real estate license. [laughter] >> my team -- >> greg: you are like a hot topic real estate agent. >> i'll take it. >> greg: you are a golf. you sell gothic houses. anyway, thoughts? >> i just kept thinking "i miss that guy." 2 minutes of the two of you and the banter and getting to the heart of the issue, as well. yeah, you know what, the president and the white house is doing a horrible job. he is not nice. everything we have been told is actually a lie, and because of it, 13 service members are died, surrendered after a 20 year war, lost $83 billion worth of equipment, and the future is probably more bleak than it has ever been for those who remained there, including our allies. he cuts to the art of the issue and abdul, now in power, i love that he always leaves us with these concise points and stuff to talk about for a long time. >> greg: yeah, it is weird, kat, because some of the stuff when you read it it does not sound funny until it comes out of his mouth. >> i was reading it and i thought it sounded funny because i could imagine it coming out of his mouth, and i agree with what tyrus said, you were very yourself. the first thing you brought up was tell me how great i am. which is exactly what it is like to be around you all the time. yeah, it was -- it's true. congratulations on your ratings. [laughter] [applause] >> yeah, greg. you did it. >> your ratings. >> you did it! you through the show on your back. you buy yourself with no help from anyone, and the fact that interview was in new jersey, that is what, a 15 minute ride for us? i had some questions. >> greg: i feel like peter brady being ganged up on by greg and marcia because i lied about something. >> i thought it was, you know, it was kind of fun, even when you were talking about certainly some serious things. it was still fun. you know, good for you. >> greg: well, that was delightful. part two of my interview with the president come or president trump, is coming up later this hour. don't go anywhere. tons of fun stuff ahead. ♪ i had a dream that someday ♪ ♪ i would just fly, fly away ♪ itchy?

and she learned that, get ready, get your mind blown, diversity is a very important thing on campus. >> we are talking about that college students with diversity quotas. do students support this in the workplace and college admissions process and will those students change their mind if we apply them to the florida gators football team? >> do you think diversity should be a factor in hiring decisions on college admissions? >> probably they should have diversity quotas for college admissions. i think they already have quotas. >> i think it is an absolute necessity. >> is a first generation college student from a hispanic household. >> every single field. >> greg: great. but what about when it comes to your perennial powerhouse football team? >> what about diversity quotas on sports teams, college sports team? >> no, i think that should be skill-based. >> absolutely. >> we were to apply that to the offensive line above the florida gators football team, this is what it would look like. >> not what it looks like at all. >> yeah. >> i feel like there are probably just more skilled players. >> i don't necessarily think it is a bad thing that these people are just better at the sports that they play. >> it would definitely be different. when is the last time he saw a prominent asian in football? >> greg: yeah, true. put down that cello and start hitting the pads. anyway, did the kids change their mind once they realized the double standard? >> does this kind of change your mind about diversity quotas in other sectors? >> if you're recruiting athletes based on their skill level maybe you should admit students based on their scores and their academic more so than diversity. >> skill always comes first. i don't necessarily think quotas are the way to go. i know they are unconstitutional, i know they are wrong. >> yeah, you want the best. doesn't matter what race they are. >> make a good argument for why my reasons for school would be the same for sports, basically coming out. >> greg: now i know what you are thinking. that kid in the sailor hat is adorable. get that young man a pipe and a can of spinach. but also deep down, no one cares about diversity if it means sacrificing success, which jacobson cleverly exposed. those students learned more in 10 minutes then they will in four years. all right, i'm going to stop there. emily, like me, you were a cheerleader for the raiders raters. i still own my skirt, by the way. isn't it funny, this is great. we realize it is all a farce. >> absolutely. and if people don't like to apply quotas to sports because they want to win, then why the hell are we applying it to the military and the cia and the fbi? remember those commercials? if people want there to be equity and true diversity and inclusion, which people do, then we have to invest in the opportunities and to preparing people for it. it is not about collecting people at the back end, it is about creating options at the front end, so investing in school choice, eradicating the teachers unions and these ridiculous calls and anything else that choke holds the opportunities admissions and things people are arbitrarily assigning. >> i just think you should pick people randomly. regardless of age, weight, gender, i'm talking infants and grandmas in wheelchairs. and maybe one randomly super athletic person. that i would watch. [laughter] >> greg: rfl, the random sports league. >> you don't even know what sport you are playing until you get there. [laughter] that i would watch. maybe understand. >> greg: if you were campus reform -- >> i sure was. >> greg: they have come a long way since you did it. >> i did such a bad job, that is why you hired me. never reflects early on you. >> greg: jamie. on your writing staff for the shows that you work for, do you push for diversity or are you a racist? >> i have not been a room for a while filled with diversity. it's pretty naturally diverse, the ones i've been on. and you know it is funny, i watch the videos you just show tonight is so weird, i don't know if it happened to the audience, i could not hear anything the girl with the orange top was saying. i don't know if they had an audio problem. [laughter] god, i hope she is old enough to make that joke. what i learn from that clip is someone puts a microphone in front of you and there's a camera across the street, they are about to make you look -- it is never going to go well. >> greg: why do they fall for it? here's my feeling. you have two different worlds. you have sports and nonsports. shouldn't they follow the same rules, whether the rules are diversity or no diversity? they have to get on the same ship. the contradiction is too glaring. >> what i don't understand about this story is football is one of the areas of american life in which there is diversity. only thing bad about that football team would be if it were all white. they would lose. also, they sound like miss america contestants. i mean, i am so glad my kid goes to penn. but lastly, what i was going to say, students don't know anything. that is why we shouldn't listen to them. they are at school because they are ignorant. i think they learned a little, but at the end, i don't know that they did. they seemed like they were just saying whatever pleased the interviewer. i don't think they are convinced of anything. >> greg: well, you know what? i think i was convinced of something. >> what? >> greg: that i like this. up next, a segment so good you'll be saying "greg, i am so full from all this great stuff, but i still want more." then we will open up a bed and breakfast together in vermont. don't go anywhere. automotive donor to make-a-wish and meals on wheels. and the largest corporate donor to the aspca and national park foundation. get a new subaru during the share the love event and subaru will donate two hundred and fifty dollars to charity. ow bizarre by omc ♪ no annual fee on any discover card. your mission: stand up to moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. and take. it. on... ...with rinvoq. rinvoq a once-daily pill can dramatically improve symptoms... rinvoq helps tame pain, stiffness, swelling. and for some rinvoq can even significantly reduce ra fatigue. that's rinvoq relief. with ra, your overactive immune system attacks your joints. rinvoq regulates it to help stop the attack. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious infections and blood clots, sometimes fatal, have occurred... ...as have certain cancers, including lymphoma, and tears in the stomach or intestines, and changes in lab results. your doctor should monitor your bloodwork. tell your doctor about any infections... and if you are or may become pregnant while taking rinvoq. take on ra. talk to your rheumatologist about rinvoq relief. rinvoq. make it your mission. learn how abbvie could help you save on rinvoq. >> man: what's my safelite story? my truck...is my livelihood. so when my windshield cracked... the experts at safelite autoglass came right to me... with service i could trust. right, girl? >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> greg: welcome back. a little while ago, tucker carlson and i had one of the greatest debates in history of tv. enjoy. >> tv, tv, on the wall, who is the dumbest of them all? the world deserves to know which cnn hack is curly and which one is mobile. last night i proclaimed chris cuomo the second dumbest man on cnn, like being the second strongest slow pitch softball player. at that network, the competition is fierce. for my money, don lemon remains the -- >> the single dumbest person ever to perform on tv. >> greg: by comparison, makes don lemon look like a physicist. is it time to decide who has fewer brains inside? short of an autopsy, there's only one way to find out. ♪ ♪ >> the great tucker carlson/greg gutfeld debate. >> greg: tonight debate, which host replaced his brain with a steel plate. joining me now, host of "tucker carlson tonight" and "tucker carlson today," it is tucker carlson.

"welcome to don lemon's world." so unbelievably cheesy, the 1979 way, that i just, i don't know, he pushes my buttons. >> you really are diplomatic. you fish a lot, who would you like to go fishing with? obviously it would have to be withdrawn. >> don lemon had a very famous interview, on the record, at lunch, in fact ordered for dessert lemons sorbet. when corrected, "i'm afraid it is pronounced sorbet," he did not acknowledge he had no idea how to pronounce the frozen dessert and he wasn't embarrassed. so my dream is to have a long dinner with don lemon. >> do you know what i think unites both of those candidates were dumbest person at cnn is the lack of embarrassment. they go out there, they deliver the same tripe every day, but they wake up and they are as happy as clams. >> no, no, no, i disagree. chris cuomo is totally tormented. you watch chris cuomo and there is a deep self-loathing. he knows how dumb he is and is mad about it. that is with the anabolic steroids are about, obviously. don lemon is totally happy in his mindless haze. >> greg: i want to ask the panel here, who is the most persuasive here, dave? >> i think tucker is winning here but the next time you guys do this, you need to widen the net to msnbc. get joy reid in there, and then it is almost impossible. >> greg: we could pit joy reid against -- >> he weaponize and said. >> greg: nicole wallace beer for next week we could do joy reid versus nicole wallace, or we could do brian stelter verses of breanna keller, is that her name, tucker? >> the former morning zoo girl from the a.m. radio show? she is not even on the list. she does not -- by the way, the woman, not joy reid, the other one on msnbc, is so lonesome, i am proud to say i have never uttered her name since i met her in 1999, when she was jeb bush's black. she was nasty and stupid then. she is worse now. >> greg: this might be the greatest segment. you guys looking at me with consternation. >> i am just amazed by the expertise that you both have about these cnn programs. are you the only people in america who watch these shows? >> actually, you make the point, the people who watch those shows are dumber than both of them. >> they watch it because it is so funny. tucker, we have to roll. thank you so much for participating in our inaugural debate. >> any time. and we are still friends. >> greg: don't go anywhere. still much more to come, including a live shot from the planet saturn. that should be fun. my retirement plan with voya keeps me moving forward. they guide me with achievable steps that give me confidence. this is my granddaughter...she's cute like her grandpa. voya doesn't just help me get to retirement... ...they're with me all the way through it. voya. be confident to and through retirement. i'm here to present the facts. thousands of people and small businesses are trapped paying too much for wireless and still paying off their phone! but when you switch to t-mobile they will pay off your phone so you can keep your current number and your phone! objection! what if you bought your phone at at&t or verizon? t-mobile will pay it off! switch to t-mobile and we'll pay off your phone. now up to a thousand bucks. do you rest? i do - but t-mobile never rests.

>> first of all, i would say why is she not doing it? does she have some kind of religious thing? >> skeptical. >> well, she's russian. that's the end of that. >> you can't argue with a russian. >> very smart, very hardheaded. i think i know your wife a little bit, right? she is great. let her do what she wants to do. i got vaccinated. i feel very good. i think we saved millions and millions of people worldwide. 1917, they say almost 100 million, approximately 100 million people died. i think we could have been into that situation because it was very bad, and now, if you are vaccinated, the other thing it shows, if you do get sick, you don't get sick like they were before. meaning you don't die. >> exactly. >> so i would recommend but i also say, let her have her freedoms. you know the word freedom, right? >> exactly. >> with you, she needs a lot of freedom. >> needs a lot of freedom for me. no one has ever asked this, i think i might know the answer. how hard is it being president from a scale, 1 to 10? >> i had two forms of presidency. number one, and around the country, work on the world, and to do things. the other thing, i had to survive. survival was much tougher because i had fake mueller, people coming after me, 19 really haters after me. every form of law enforcement after me. started from the day i came down the escalator. it never stops. they had every prosecutor after me. they're looking at deals i did years and years ago. i forgot about them. it is a disgrace. so i had to survive. number one. and number two, i guess i put in a different order, but if you don't survive, you can't do a good job in terms of running, so i had survival and i had running the country. >> right. >> and i would say the survival was actually much tougher than running the country. someone said what was the toughest -- a friend of mine, very successful guy, used to call me don, donnie, donald, now he said, mr. president -- you lose all your friends because they are all afraid to talk to you. mr. president, could i ask you one question? what is the toughest -- what was the toughest to deal with? was it china? could it be putin and russia? north korea, kim jong un? the toughest was the united states, dealing with the maniacs we have over here. pelosi and schumer, tougher than a lot of world leaders. isn't that a shame, when you think about it? isn't that a shame? >> there was an irrational response to you, and i lost friends when i would defend you. >> but you also gained friends. >> yeah, i gained friends. i didn't listen to my family members were voting for you during the time, and i have friends who were voting for you, but i didn't listen. then when i turned and started listening, that i lost all of my other friends. did it bother you to see friends that you had lose these friends because you became president and they didn't like what you were doing?
