Thank you. I have Tom Shaloo, in for Greg, on this very special edition of Gutfeld. Let's kick things off with some headlines. Today, President Trump held his seventh cabinet meeting in seven months, many more than his predecessor. He also had far fewer accidents on the rug.

The DNC reportedly agreed to pick up Kamala Harris's $20 million, outstanding campaign tab, as part of a handshake deal. And her husband Doug will receive a nanny to be named later. Following our RFK Jr. and Pete Higgs'et's fitness challenge, the New York Times is warning that doing 100 push-ups

and 50 pull-ups could be dangerous, which would make this man the safest person alive. To prepare for future trips, a NASA crew is undertaking a 378-day mission to simulate the conditions on Mars. The crew is so isolated and alone,

they say it's a lot like being in the audience at a Joe Mackey show. I just wanted to see his face. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said that if President Trump sent the National Guard to clean up his city, the people would rise up. He wanted to say more,

but he had to duck behind the lectern and take cover. Illinois Governor, J.B. Pritzker says he is taking names of anyone who supports President Trump in his efforts to fight crime in Chicago. Not surprisingly, he's also taking names of anyone who can make a kick-ass meatball sub. Southwest Airlines announced plans to require plus-size passengers to pay extra, which will take effect in January. The new rule was supposed to happen sooner, but it got stuck in Houston. And finally, Taylor Swift.

and Travis Kelsey are engaged after two years of dating. Many. Oh, see? Many. I was going to say many are congratulating them. Two people are congratulating them. But some are saying it is cruel that Taylor is using Travis to get back at her ex. That's, yeah.

Even CNN is mocking them. The Democratic brand right now has about the appeal with the American voter as the crackle barrel rebrand has with the American consumers. Bad, bad, bad. What are you doing? Oh, my goodness gracious.

So, yeah, the channel that spent years building a shrine to the DNC is now starting to wonder if they've gotten themselves into something that they're not prepared for. And the numbers back it up. In swing states, Republican registration is at its strongest point since at least 2005. So as the GOP is stacking voters like Costco stacks toilet paper, Democrats are still trying to convince you that streets run by fentanyl gangs are part of the urban rudimental. renewal plan.

So what are Democrats going to do about this? Let's check in with the DNC chair for the Dem's bold new direction. I'm sick and tired of this Democratic Party bringing a pencil to a knife fight. We cannot be the only party that plays by the rules anymore. We've got to stand

up and fight. We're not going to have a hand tied behind our back anymore. Let's grow a damn spine and get into this fight, Democrats. Well. Grow a damn spine. That guy couldn't grow mold in a Bangkok shower drain. Then there was Tim Walts, once again, insulting more than half the country.

Think of how easy it would be to be a damn Republican. Oh, what should I wear today? This stupid freaking red hat. What should I say today? I don't know. Just make sure it's cruel. Who do we listen to? That guy.

Oh, the felon in the White House? Yeah, listen to him and that will be fine. We can have our internal decision-making, our internal healthy debates, but I refuse to believe we do not have the luxury to fight amongst ourselves why that thing sets in the White House. Another progressive, tough guy looking for a fight. But, hey, I wouldn't fight him. Those jazz hands are dangerous.

Clearly, the Democrats want to. to out-trump Trump, but they can't. They don't have the playbook. And even if they did, Jasmine Crockett couldn't read it. Remember 2015, the media and the party hated Trump. But voters loved him because everything he said that horrified the elites was exactly what the average American was thinking. Trump bent the party to his will. And it just so happened, it was also the will of the people. Look at the Democrats' new stars. AOC, Zodon, Ron, Mom Dani, the socialist guy from Minnesota, whose name I don't know, but he looks like the guy who stole the ship from Captain Phillips. That guy.

They're on the fringe of their party, too. They too say shocking things, but average voters don't like it. When Trump said, build the wall, that was common sense, and average Americans nodded. Democrats are selling policies no one outside of the faculty lounge actually wants. If you want to be a populist, your ideas actually have to be popular. Otherwise, it's just performance art. It's like a slam poetry reading where the only person clapping is the poets slapping himself on the back. Now, let me try to help a bit.

Here's lesson number one. Do not say this. Don't take the bait in talking about migrant crime or carjackings or the things that actually don't matter to that many Americans. and then go to the policy proposals that we think work. Migrant crime and carjackings are things that don't matter to many Americans. Tell that to big balls. And how about Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who proved he's not just out of touch, he's out of breath.

Listen to this. Well, here I am on the path on the lakefront at 6 a.m. on a Monday and we got a lot of people running having a great time doesn't feel like a hellhole here in fact everybody's having a great time

and enjoying themselves was he totally sucking wind there or was he sucking on a hot dog I guess Trump was right about Pritzker when he said this and bad politicians like a guy like Pritzker he had to spend more time in the gym

actually Unless there's a gym that offers And all you can eat shrimp bar I don't see that happening So right now The Democrats' biggest problem isn't Trump It's the Democrats, period So the party is stuck

And voters Well, they're more lost than Joe Biden Trying to find his way off stage Period Listen ad free with a Fox News Podcasts plus subscription on Apple Podcasts
