stories, let's do this. Greg's Leftovers. It's leftovers, where I read the jokes we didn't use this week, and as always, it's my first time reading them, so if they suck, we'll put an apple in Joe Mackey's mouth and send them to the views Labor Day

Pig Rose. A billionaire just bought Rosie O'Donnell's former Florida estate for $35.3 million. It has 12 bedrooms, 10 baths, and get this, the kitchen has both hot and cold running barbecue sauce. Football player Travis Kelsey is expected to retire

after the 2026 NFL season. So he marries rich then stops working. Who does he think he is? A woman? God's fired. President Trump just revoked. Secret Service Protection, which had been secretly extended by Joe Biden. I guess it makes sense.

The only shots these agents were blocking were coming from Jose Cuervo. Texas politicians are upset that one county is spending half a million dollars to host a gay softball tournament. They are also hosting a lesbian softball tournament, but it's just called a softball tournament. That's the way to go. That's the way to go, Wade. That was good. That's a good one.

Florida is set to execute its record 11th person this year. Only 11? What a bunch of amateurs, said one woman. I know. I know. A pot-bellied pig was found running loose in Pennsylvania for the second time this summer. He was captured and immediately returned. to CNN.

Easy. Too easy. California governor Gavin Newsom claims he's a Swifty, but he can't name one Taylor Swift song. Wow, that's like saying you're in the WNBA, but you've never seen a green dildo. According to a new poll, less than 1% of Democrats are satisfied with the direction of the country, under Trump compared to 76% of Republicans.

That's a 75-point gap. I haven't seen a gap that wide since that Stormy Daniels film festival. Wow. There's a lot of space between the movies. Barack Obama called out Trump's crackdown on crime, saying he's worried it will target the former president's hometown. Trump reassured Obama by saying, Don't worry, we're not going to invade Nairobi.

Desmond Watson, the 450-pound heaviest player in NFL history has been cut by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He will now go back to his old job as Stacey Abrams' body double. Oh. I never know. Wow. Gavin Newsom called Trump simply the most destructive individual in my lifetime. Nancy Pelosi responded, saying, the most destructive individual in my lifetime is Genghis Khan. Because she's old. D.C. Mayor Bowser admits a Trump's federal crime crackdown is working. In fact, the crackdown is working so well.

Maxine Waters can now safely walk. her wig at night. Probably should end there. And finally, the Taylor Swift engagement post on Instagram has made history for having the most likes in one day. It beat the previous record set by Rashida Talib announcing she bought a razor. All right. For the mustache.

So you know how important health and fitness is to a full and happy life, But like everything great, it takes effort. It's the most cause and effect phenomenon you can experience.

You lift weights, muscles grow, you run laps, your heart gets stronger, you go rollerblading, you're gay. But it turns out Republicans are great at helping even their critics get into shape. For example, this week in Wisconsin, the vice president's motorcade noticed how unfit the protesters awaiting Vance were and decided to do something about it. They went the wrong way down a one-way street, causing the protesters to pick up and run. They were later hospitalized for exhaustion. Of course, this isn't new. Trump's been getting the media to run after him for years. And he wasn't even there.

But this shows how deeply the White House cares about fitness. And earlier this month, they gave us probably the greatest fitness expo ever. Well, the second greatest after Michelle pressed Obama over her head for 10 reps. Talking about Pete Higgseth and RFK Jr.'s challenge to do 50 pull-ups and 100 push-ups in 10 minutes. The point was to inspire Americans to stop treating their bodies the way Jasmine Crockett treats grammar. But like stretch marks on Joy Behar's ass. The media reared its flabby head to bash it. And why?

Because it's another situation where whatever Trump promotes must be evil. In this case, exercise. Check out this New York Times headline from this week. Quote, 100 push-ups and 50 pull-ups in under 10 minutes? What could go wrong? Fitness experts caution against jumping into a difficult routine suggested by RFK and Pete Hagsith. Now, you can spot a reverse-engineered story a mile away. The writer began with a headline that called in a bunch of quotes to fit his preconceived conclusion.

One expert complied by saying, pushing for such high numbers without the necessary strength foundation could quickly lead to poor form, overcompensation, and a high risk of injury. We'll talk about a Debbie Downer on steroids. I'm surprised they didn't point out how exercise elevates the risk of getting fondled by John Travolta in his steam room. And it can. Now, of course, no beginner is going to tackle military-level fitness on day one. But here's how you can be certain this one is an anti-Trump piece. Just compare it to these other recent Times headlines.

Want to level up your mobility? Add weights. Find your next favorite workout. How exercise fights anxiety and depression. But see, when Trump enters the gym, suddenly having exercise goals is the new fascism. Hell, if Trump tweeted, practice good oral hygiene, the Times would declare that pursuing

white teeth is inherently racist. Why they got to be white? Why do they have to be white? Because anything Trump advocates, whether it's Border Security, Crime Prevention, and now apparently exercise, gets trashed faster than Peter Dinklage

on St. Patrick's Day. And yet, this anti-exercise mentality seemed to be missing when the Times' favorite socialists attempt to bench press half his weight. I've seen bigger muscles at Red Lobster. Now, you'd think the Times would caution him

against biting off more than he can chew, but he's not Trump. He's just a lightweight who can't lift lightweights. And the only dumbbells in his life are his campaign staff. Now, eventually, you'd think the media would stop turning every Trump-endorsed idea into a super villain plot.

But then they'd have to admit Trump's wins for America aren't the enemy lazy reporting is. But for now, the only thing they exercise is bad judgment. Listen ad-free with a Fox News podcast plus subscription on Apple Podcasts. And Amazon Prime members can listen to this show
