We'll see how long that lasts. Good evening, everyone. So President Trump was spotted at Walter Reed, where he underwent his annual physical. And it was there that a brave Secret Service agent took a finger for the president. Some sad news. The man who founded 7-Eleven in Japan

has died at the age of 93. Funeral arrangements have yet to be made, but for now his body will be slowly rotating on a hot dog machine. Harvard researchers have created an artificial vagina on a chip. What? Yeah. Scientists are calling it the worst snack ever.

Look it up. Lions Gage just dropped a first look at Mel Gibson's The Resurrection of the Christ. The original title was, I know what you did last supper. And if you've already seen it, do not tell me the ending. No spoilers. Scientists discovered a. fish that escapes danger by swimming up a manta ray's butthole. In a related story, he'll never

guess who is getting surgery to look like a manta ray. A man in Idaho set a world record by putting on a record-breaking 32 t-shirts in one minute. Even more impressive, it took this man 32 minutes to put on one t-shirt. And finally, Kathy Griffin spent the night in the hospital following complications from a colonoscopy. Doctors say Kathy is fine. but the anal scope is in critical condition. I kid. The good news is Kathy has been upgraded from ugly to hideous.

Double whammy for you people. Mm, water. We'll be back with more Gutfeld. Spencer Pratt's polls are just behind incumbent Karen Bass ahead of the June primary for L.A. Mayor. Pratt had launched his campaign a year after the 2025 Palisades fire when he'd watched his house burn,

while the DEI hires running the city wondered if the fire department's Dalmatian was black enough. The former reality star promises daily street cleaning, care for drug addicts, and wildfire prep, a platform Dems call fascist, yet most normal people call, why the hell aren't you doing this already? But Drew Carey called him unqualified,

saying, quote, anyone who votes for Spencer Pratt for mayor of L.A. needs to get their head out of their ass. I understand being angry, unsatisfied, but at least get behind someone competent. This guy already. Fair enough. We would love to have qualified people running for mayor of L.A. If you know of one, tell him or her to come on down, Mr. Game Show host. Because that would put a real smile on the face of residents, not like the free dentures. Bass wants them to buy for meth heads.

But Drew's opinion is an easy one to have, especially when you live far away from blocks where the price is right means a good deal on crack. And it's a clueless one as well. Why is Pratt surging? It's not in spite of a lack of qualifications. It's because of a lack of qualifications. Because in government, so-called qualifications exist to support terrible ideas that make things worse. It's the only vocation where the longer your resume, the more likely you are to be a nitwit. A libertarian like Drew should know that, but he's not thinking it through because it's not him who's running and that upsets him. Many people are like that.

I was like that when Trump started running in 2015. Who does he think he is? I said when I was really saying, hmm, it should be me. Performers are insecure, and here's why. With few exceptions, they are insects trapped in amber. When a bug gets stuck in this sticky, fresh resin, it can be perfectly preserved, stuck, which can describe the career of many actors and comedians.

Over time, you become frozen in place, and it's then that you start telling others, to stay in their own lane because they're stuck in their own. But it's the people who don't stay in their own lane who create new ways out of old messes. And it's the people who say stay in your lane who often cause the most accidents. Think about it. If a mayor with experience tells you that homelessness isn't a problem, then that experience is poison. It takes an absence of experience to overcome this madness.

Of course, Pratt's incompetent adversaries will criticize everything. but his solutions. So they attack him over ads. He isn't even running himself. My husband works in Hollywood and to promote your campaign with AI videos in a city that is the core of our entertainment industry feels deeply insulting to so many workers across this city.

He would say he's just sharing out other people's AI videos and that's not what he's doing. My husband works in Hollywood. Who cares, lady? So it's an insult to a community that he's not using actors in the city that's 90% silicone? Sorry, babe. Pratt's AI ads come off as way more authentic than the politicians who hate him. Fact is, Pratt's anger can be summed up in one sentence. We have no way to deal with crazy people.

They're on the streets. They're setting fires, building camps under overpasses. His solution, get him off the streets into facilities. It beats the Democrat solution, which is to, continue electing them. Listen ad-free with a Fox News podcast plus subscription on Apple Podcasts.
