Good evening, everyone. President Trump again threatened to annihilate Iran if they don't sign a peace deal. Iran scoffed saying they've already destroyed dozens of U.S. missiles with their buildings. A federal judge has ordered the Trump White House to restore access to journalists, which means that both CNN and MSN now have to hire them.

The White House state dinner for Chinese leaders, Xi Jinping got up to a rocky start this evening. When President Trump said, please give a warm White House welcome to the president of China or Japan. Trans activists outside NYU protested the new ban on trans surgeries for kids by injecting themselves with hormones. I know. The situation is only going to get hairier. Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is considering running for president in 20. 2020. 2020 is also his cholesterol number.

Here's his campaign bus. A United Airlines passenger claimed her male seatmate masturbated on a flight to New Jersey. She saw me? That's disgusting. Can you imagine having to fly to New Jersey? Even weirder, when he was done pleasuring himself, the male flight attendants gave him a round of applause.

But passengers knew something was up. with the pilot illuminated the no jacking off light. Finally, a Sacramento school board candidate apologized after calling politicians retards and using gay as a slur. He said from now on, he will just combine the two and say, Don Lemon. We'll be back with more Gutfeld. All right, this is something new.

Tonight we have a story that is so absurd that I have to tell you beforehand, it's real. unlike Jesse's hair. So I'm going to read it straight. The Boston Globe reports on a lesbian bar in Massachusetts called Last Ditch. Hello. Not the most hopeful name to grab customers,

but it beats clam lappers. It had a strict policy. Patrons must wear an N95 mask. Keep in mind, this is 2026, not 2020. But then one day the rules changed, and the bar announced, quote, is it with love we inform our immunocompromised disabled divas will be opening Saturday nights as mask optional? Just one night a week, you can take the mask off, allowing all patrons to floss the hair out of their teeth. The reason to boost business because people stopped coming in.

The parking lot was empty. Bills went unpaid. Who knows why? Perhaps my sometimes might be. A swimsuit calendar had turned too many patrons heterosexual. So going maskless one night seemed smart, except the decision infuriated more lesbians than finding a Trump sticker on their Subaru. Critics called the decision a mass disabling event. Eugenicist attack. The bar, they said, was killing disabled people. So the bar apologized on Instagram, saying they were sorry for their passive and dismissive tone

and its impact on the most intersectional. But then the apology caused outrage because they didn't have alt text for the visually impaired. And keep in mind, a blind lesbian is like a unicorn to other lesbians. So, the bar was in a pickle. Usually it's the other way around.

They openly welcomed lesbians, trans, Gender freaks and their friends. They serve the unhoused, but never the police. But now they were defeated. Like when they find out that an LPGA golfer marries a man. Thank you. So the bar held a meeting with angry attendees via Zoom. They even had mediators to resolve conflicts.

And despite kicking it off with a calming, breathing exercise, fury ensued. A black gender expansive lesbian performer condemned the mediator as a white therapist. Others feared she might be an agent of the state and even hospitalized them against their will. At this point, the bar's owner broke down crying, confessing that she was living in her truck, working four different jobs, and had to pay back thousands in loans all to keep the bar open. And worse, two of the three founders had left one to enroll in clown school. Seriously. No lie. But instead of consoling her, they called her racist for crying.

So after many hours, nothing was resolved. The next maskless night happened where one regular suggested a Lady Gaga night, which upset a trans bartender who deemed her a Zionist. So that's where the story stands. And we only know about it because the internet could turn even local stupid news global. It shouldn't, really, but it does. And we really shouldn't care, except that this is, life when you organize it around identity. Once you run out of the bigger fish to fry, the

straits and the men have left, all you have are the ever finer distinctions to dissect. Soon any ordinary human connection becomes impossible. The bar had moral claims that were disguised as rules. Masks weren't really about COVID. They were about anti-Abalism. And once those rules becomes sacred, relaxing one of them, even for one night to pay rent, is framed as killing disabled people. Each new grievance gets smaller, but they're still intense. And the enemy becomes the person who is only one notch less pure than you. This is the woke. With each minor deviation from orthodoxy, the cult grows more vicious. But in normal life, connection requires friction. People laugh. They disagree. But when a scene has exhausted, it's outside,

It invents new insiders to purge. Identity starts to eat itself, which makes sense since it's a lesbian bar. Let's welcome. Listen ad-free with a Fox News podcast plus subscription on Apple Podcasts. And Amazon Prime members can listen to this show, ad-free on the Amazon music app.
