thanks for joining us. that's it for us tonight. thanks so much for watching us tonight. greg is next. see you next week. i'm greg gutfeld. i smell like a bus. here's what's coming up. the rnc, the dnc, hrc vp and run dmc. we will touch them all. plus a behind the scenes look at nighttime in cleveland. that's in ohio. and all the little people that helped make it happen. later, former major leaguer lenny dykstra is here with some crazy stories from his new book that you won't want to miss. let's get started, america. heading to philly on a unicycle.

let's welcome tonight's guest. he's got more charm than a bracelet from tiffany. you know him as spaceman from the a-team, the legend himself, dirk benedict. she's always soft, joanna. he's so sharp he gives paper cuts. rick rennell. she's so bright the north star calls her for advice. ebony williams. and finally, our high priestess of gloom, kat kim. the republican convention had everything. you had the air kisses. you had the gold podiums. you had the pro wrestling entrance. all that was missing was a cape made of kittens. i love those headset

microphones. i know they're at every convention but they're awesome. i stole shep smith's. it's for my shrine. there were respected republican leaders firing up the base with a strong rallying cry. >> what happened to there's no black america, there's no white america, there is just america? what happened to it? where did it go? >> it would be great if people thought he was doing sign language. anyway, as he spoke, my goose bumps got goose bumps. those goose bumps, they were crying. why couldn't we elect him instead? yeah. you can applaud. rudy, by the way, just a note to convention workers, don't make rudy wait for the balloons.

the convention had drama or as the networks like to call it, chaos. >> tonight, republican civil war. the gop convention erupts into chaos. >> chaos a few minutes ago. >> chaos on day one of the republican national convention. >> anti-trump forces lose on the convention floor. >> the convention floor erupted. >> the convention chair left the stage amid the chaos. >> whatever. after months of hand wringing and mud slinging it was uncertain whether republicans would rally around its nominee, donald j. trump, especially after the support the convention gave trump's key opponent, who could forget the rousing cheers of cruz. >> vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom. i appreciate the enthusiasm of the new york delegation.

[ booing ] >> clearly, they were cruz'ing him. now, but it also sounded like unity in not endorsing trump, ted cruz may have accidentally unified the party for trump. when donald finally took the stage on thursday there seemed to be little defense. >> these are people who work hard but no longer have a voice. i am your voice. >> there you go. now, president obama claims that trump's doom and gloom doesn't match reality. >> this idea that america is somehow on the verge of collapse, this vision of

violence and chaos everywhere, doesn't really jibe with the experience of most people. >> yeah. anyway, but he makes one point. trump's vision is about as uplifting as a cat scan of my liver but who is obama to talk? wasn't he the guy who eight years ago said our country was so bad off, only he could transform it? trump just stole obama's schtik. he's starring in a manic reboot of hope and change and the tag line, america's got hemorrhoids and donald's the preparation h. rick, i ran into you a couple times when we were out there. had a few drinks. i don't remember much. i woke up dazed and i didn't have my shirt. can i have it back? give me your overall -- >> i actually am surprised the mainstream media is surprised

that the party out of power is critiquing the party that's in power. that seems to me a really basic thing. when you don't have the white house you critique the policies of the last four or eight years. that's all that trump was doing. it was celebrated in 2008. >> right. >> as you point out. >> thank you. >> i was pretty excited to see our delegation from california. two-thirds of our delegation had never been to a convention before. >> not that kind of convention. >> well, but the excitement that they had, they were literally climbing on their chairs to scream. they were told when someone's speaking you're not supposed to scream and interrupt them. they don't listen to those rules. they're there, they're excited and this is grassroots politics at its best. yes, for the media who want a staged convention, they want to control it, they want the status quo, they want politicians speaking, it was a disappointment for them. but for the grassroots delegates, they had a great time, they loved it and they are

just getting fired up. >> what about you? general thoughts, want to talk about cruz, anything you want. >> i agree with what he stayed. >> okay. >> can i be shallow for a moment? that's usually your job. they say politics is show biz for the ugly. not anymore. >> that's true. >> ivanka and what is it, tiffany and melania. >> and donald. >> and donald. every girl i know, i talk to go oh, my god. >> they have introduced glamour. >> i just want to say the whole thing is about children. i spent the last 20 years of my life raising two boys. so i always say if you want to know something about people, check out their children. see how their children are. >> i never check out people's children.

>> what? you don't know where your children are. >> that's a good point. >> go ahead. >> i was just saying i don't check out their children. >> oh. yeah. but look -- >> dirk? >> i tried to get serious. >> i know. >> that's what happens on this show sometimes. but going off of the point about beautiful people, greg, you and i both know we have it hard. because i think there's a lot more criticism, especially with melania's speech, although she repeated some platitudes, there wasn't that much substance in them back in 2008 or now but she's beautiful. people love to criticize beautiful people. >> not jackie o. >> i remember the kennedys, they were the last beautiful, and jackie o, you couldn't criticize her. >> i know, i do, but if you look

at with ted cruz, everyone hated what he did but everybody, when bernie endorsed hillary it was like you're so spineless. cruz did that and everyone's like you're so selfish. just reinforces my life philosophy of don't worry about it, no matter what you do, you're always wrong. >> i'm actually writing a book on this topic, this topic of what you look like. pretty powerful. your appearance affects your ascent to power. i think the trump family and this infusion of celebrity into american politics is a shining example of how we are not getting away from this. we are leaning into this. >> i should do makeup on my days off? >> that's right. you never know who you will meet. you never know. >> i reject that. >> do you? >> yeah. i really do. >> i don't think it has anything to do with trump. i don't think people -- >> it's -- to joe's point --

>> what the kids said. how they turned out. >> that's right. pay attention to them. first, melania enters the stage, she's stunning. of course people are going to -- >> when i wear my [ inaudible ] people pay attention to me. >> i certainly think there's an opportunity present. >> my favorite trump kid, tiffany, right? that's her name, right? >> she's the one that -- >> her favorite beatle is ringo also. >> she's the keyboardist of the band. >> baron is the one. >> he looks like mini trump. >> tiffany is real young. >> and very polished. >> if you would have given me a speech at the national convention at that age i would have been a blubbering idiot. she was polished. >> by the way, i have to, even

though melania, she didn't know she lifted those -- >> millenia is how long you have been doing this show. >> thank you. my point is that if i had gone to slovenia to do a speech in a native tongue which is -- i would have fallen apart, too. i was looking at her thinking about my wife who's russian. she speaks multiple languages. to go up there in front of 40 million people, and when you don't want to do it, she didn't want to do it and she did it and she did a great job. afterwards -- >> who copyrighted -- those are brilliant statements. my word is my bond. >> literally, that's what plagiarism means. here's an idea, though. how about don't make melania do something she doesn't want to do. here's the freedom. when you are the presumptive

nominee, you get a say-so in how this thing works. i think trump had or should have demonstrated the freedom. let ivanka open. >> she was great. i had to watch cnn because fox had talking heads on all the time. i wanted to hear the speech. did you hear tom barrack talk, his friend for 40 years? it was fantastic. it was off the cuff. so i watched that and i watched that so i got to hear all the speeches. i just want to say, van jones and axelrod, van jones was like speechless that the republicans didn't boo trump for mentioning the lgbtq thing. they were stunned, they were speechless. they talked endlessly, they didn't boo, they didn't boo. >> yeah. >> that's dumb. that's dumb.

the view people have of what a republican is is insane. >> the commentary is revealing. >> i was on the floor when peter thiel spoke. >> what were you doing? >> i was a delegate. >> this is going too fast. wait a minute. i missed something. >> i was a delegate. i was on the floor of the convention. the california delegation moved all of the four lgbt delegates to the front row. and we watched as peter gave his speech. >> is it thiel? >> thiel. i will tell you unequivocally the entire floor clapped loudly. then when trump came back off the cuff and said i just want to say i'm thankful that you just clapped for that line, they gave him a standing ovation. i didn't hear one boo. >> but axelrod or somebody said

only one guy. just the one guy. just one guy. >> the democrats have been the king of identity politics. >> they hate it. that's their turf. >> you speak spanish and all the hispanics are going to vote for you. >> now we have citizen kaine. >> we will do that in the next block. he's doing my tease. >> i want your desk. >> i want your van. >> you know it's parked outside. >> i know. i hear some screaming inside. >> there's like six people going he told me he was a star. he told me he was a star. >> that will teach them. >> all my secrets are in that van. >> i got to take a break. coming up, we re-enact my favorite a-team episode. bad time on the border.

first, hillary picks a vp which i believe stands for violin player. (vo) one dark stormy night we got a new family member and she got a nutritious meal of purina cat chow complete with the four cornerstones of nutrition including high quality protein. now our family is complete. purina cat chow complete.

sorry ma'am. no burning here. ugh. heartburn. try new alka-seltzer heartburn relief gummies. they don't taste chalky and work fast. mmmm. incredible. can i try? she doesn't have heartburn. new alka seltzer heartburn relief gummies. enjoy the relief.

[ boss ] it is a very smart plan. so we're all on board? [ paul ] no. this is a stupid plan. hate drama? go to cars.com. research. price. find. only cars.com helps you get the right car without all the drama.

the dnc starts monday in philadelphia. the stage is now being set at wells fargo center where i do all my banking. and where hillary clinton will accept her party's nomination. thought that joke was funnier earlier. clinton and virginia senator tim kaine making their first appearance as the democratic ticket today in miami. the presumptive nominee announced her choice of kaine as her vp running mate in a text message to supporters. i guess she's keeping off the e-mail for awhile. kaine has been viewed as too moderate by some liberals in the democratic party but really, he's the airbrushed yin to hillary's abrasive yang a man so safe you could store money in him. it beats her other choice. meantime, sanders supporters are

ticked off after leaked dnc e-mails show top party officials wanted to push the narrative he was an atheist in states like kentucky and west virginia where the godless are as popular as the clarinet made of raw sewage. alto clarinet. remember when bernie said he didn't care about hillary's damn e-mails? wonder if he cares about these now. finger on chin. hm. all right. it is a good point. you are looking like you have something to say about something. >> i do, always. yeah. these bernie supporters, this is what they wanted. they knew this the whole time. this is going to hurt her even more because he has been too nice to her this whole time. that's what everybody thinks. now that they have this proof, it's not like they see her as a second choice. they see her as the problem. their hearts were broken and it's because of her. it's not just like well, it's better than trump, i guess we'll vote for the second choice.

it's like no, voting for her is like voting for what destroyed my life and broke my little jobless heart. >> agreed. i think many people knew the dnc had it in for poor bernie from day one. debbie wassermann schultz might as well have been the vp pick to be honest. that's how deep into the clinton camp she was. it's unfortunate, no matter what you think of the democratic party, there are people that should have a process that allows their voice to be heard. they never stood a chance around that. that's sad and the dnc should be ashamed. >> i find voices very annoying. all right. what's your take on the vp pick? >> i didn't know who he was. i still don't. but i think -- i am going to call him citizen kaine. i heard some of his little speech awhile ago. yeah. >> i think it's really risky for the democrats to pick kaine

because he's a life-long politician in a year where politicians are absolutely not popular. >> secretary of status quo. she just got another guy, he was mayor. >> they're proud of it. >> he was a mayor, then senator, then governor forever. >> i tried to read up on him and fell asleep during it. i'm worried i won't even be able to fill this segment with stuff about him. >> she was going to do this the whole time. people saying she was going to pick elizabeth warren. she used her. she needs the anti-capitalist, anti-wall street. it made her look more like she would be potentially interested in something. >> i think she looks like a hater now. to me, the real progressives in the party, whether bernie or elizabeth, some people like cory booker, they are shading. >> she used elizabeth warren. >> she looks like a hater with this pick because all the speculation kind of got her some hype but ultimately when it came

down to it she goes -- >> you know what, what happened to girl power? what happened to girl power? this was supposed to be year of the woman. she picked a white male. she picked a white male. boo, boo, white male. it's a white male. barrabas. i don't know what that means. >> can the white male stop speaking so i can get a word in? as a woman, i love the zodiac, not the killer. kaine is a pisces so pisces are excellent problem solvers. sometimes a little overemotional but it's a shame we will never really get to see any of that because hillary won't actually let him do anything. >> we have -- he's the perfect man for hillary after putting up with bill. she controlled bill.

she wore the pants. he was the yin in that. i say yang. she was the dominant one in that relationship. he was the fun one, she was the serious one. you need that in a relationship, i've found. >> which one are you, greg? >> that depends. >> depends on the night of the week. >> do we have a shot of hillary saying something? >> i have to say that senator tim kaine is everything donald trump and mike pence are not. he is qualified to step into this job and lead on day one. >> what does that mean? >> i don't know. >> talking about being qualified. she's not qualified, he's not qualified. okay. i'm not qualified. let's get that straight. >> yes, you are.

i would vote for you. >> i'm way too young. >> i reject that narrative. >> i don't know what you're referring to at this point. getting into the van, perhaps? >> he's too young, he's too young, he's too young. now it's too old, too old. >> in the middle you were battlestar galactica. >> for 15 seconds i was just the right age. >> it was during a pretty fun time in hollywood. >> we should do a show about that. >> no, no. politics is -- okay. do you think bernie will pull a ted cruz and get up there and because now he found out about these e-mails, about they were going to destroy his career? >> he won't. that's what's wrong with him. >> he should. >> there's some views that the rules committee at least for the democratic convention is going to get nasty. they will try to do something. he doesn't even have near enough delegates.

i think debbie wassermann schultz will shut him down. >> they will bring him to his knees. >> but last night i had dinner with a hollywood acquaintance who is quite famous in her own right. i can't say. because of what i'm going to say. but i sat -- she's a big hillary and this woman is smart. she's smart. >> what movie was she in? tell me. >> i can't. no. >> give me a hint. >> later. buy me drinks. get me drunk and pay me. >> he will. >> we need a bar. >> anyway, the point of it was she loves hillary which is mind-boggling to me. i went down the list of all the lies. doesn't matter. doesn't matter. so none of this, none of this -- doesn't matter. then she said trump's a sleaze. he's a liar. i said well, name one. name this. it doesn't matter. these are millenials. >> are you dating all of them?

>> i had such a thing for goldie. >> who didn't? >> kurt russell will kill you. >> i couldn't get close to her. i was not in the same business. >> at that point -- >> i was always a hick. >> still are. a lovable hick. we got to move on. coming up, more stories about things. celebrities, convention speakers. plus we visit the strange land known as philadelphia next. i asked my dentist if an electric toothbrush was

going to clean better than a manual. he said sure...but don't get just any one. get one inspired by dentists, with a round brush head. go pro with oral-b. oral-b's rounded brush head cups your teeth to break up plaque and rotates to sweep it away. and oral-b delivers a clinically proven superior clean versus sonicare diamondclean. my mouth feels super clean! oral-b. know you're getting a superior clean. i'm never going back to a manual brush. parts a and b and want more coverage, guess what? you could apply for a medicare supplement insurance plan whenever you want. no enrollment window. no waiting to apply. that means now may be a great time to shop for an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. medicare doesn't cover everything. and like all standardized medicare supplement insurance plans, these help cover some of what medicare doesn't pay. so don't wait.

and these are the lungs. (boy) sorry. (dad) don't worry about it. (vo) at our house, we need things that are built to last. that's why we got a subaru. (avo) love.

it's what makes a subaru, a subaru. so the thing i remember most about the rnc, three amazingly awesome words, antonio sabato jr. sure. his speech was adequate but for me, i was just pumped at the chance to see the gorgeous actor who rose to fame as a calvin klein underwear model before roles on melrose place, bold and the beautiful and general hospital. who can forget general hospital night shift? i sure haven't. sabato. feels good just saying it. try it at home. not to be confused with larry sabato. although the resemblance are uncanny. meanwhile, the dnc begins in philly on monday but the list of celebrity speakers doesn't thrill me.

there's lena dunham. tony goldwyn, chloe grace ferett. america ferrara and the robot from "lost in space." i'm not making any sense. all right. maybe i'm a little excited about the last one. i want to go to you. should i be excited about this upcoming thing? are you going? what's going on? >> well, you don't even have to go to philly anymore. i saved you the trip because i went to philly and i saw everything you need to see. take a look. philadelphia. the birthplace of independence and where just days away from the democratic national convention. as you can see, people are bustling with excitement. the energy is palpable. are you from philly? >> no, virginia. >> can we cut the camera? we will do that again. i need you to say you are from philly. roll. hi, are you from philly? >> yes.

>> great. do you have a favorite founding father? >> frank jennings. >> philadelphia is great but who is this crazy woman sitting next to me? p.s., i love greg gutfeld. >> greg's really short. is there anywhere like really cool or iconic in philly i should go? >> definitely. got to go to the art museum to the rocky steps, do the rocky statue. >> they don't look rocky to me. they look flat. have you seen rocky? >> i have. >> have you seen rocky 2? >> yes. >> rocky 3? >> i think. >> creed? >> creed. yeah. >> so you wasted eight months of your life. what if i were to ask you instead of running up the stairs, because everybody does that, would you dance up the stairs with me? >> dance? >> you think racing up the stairs, who would win, hillary clinton or donald trump? >> without question, donald trump. >> it was actually a trick question because hillary would

cheat. she would fly up to the top on her broom. >> i did it. oh, my gosh. it works up quite an appetite. i think it's time for some classic philadelphia cheesecake. steak. cheesesteak. well, i'm here between pat's and geno's. how do i choose? i once dated a guy named pat. didn't end well, geno's it is. turn the camera off now. no one needs to see what's about to happen. do you think you would rather serve a politician a cheesesteak or a drunk college kid? >> drunk college kidney d any d. they're more honest. >> if hillary clinton were to be a cheesesteak, what kind would she be? >> a tough one. she would be tough meat. wouldn't we don't sell. >> i have exclusive backstage access to the dnc and by backstage i mean way back.

i'm in the parking lot. you can see not a lot is going on. typical dems, all hype, no delivery. good news, greg. tailgating, you will have a lot of space for it. or don't even come. kind of a letdown. >> all right. well done. well done. i'm going to you. you're the democrat. >> i'm not a democrat. >> what are you? >> registered independent. i have been one for eight years. >> looking forward to the convention? >> i'm going. i'm looking forward to seeing democracy at play. i'm looking forward to people's voices hopefully being heard. not particularly looking forward to hillary's speech but that's me. that's me. >> what about you? >> i'm not going. i'm looking forward to watching hillary's speech on the couch and tweeting it. thank you for reminding me. >> rick?

thoughts? >> i'm going to the democratic convention. i want to see the diverse party. see if they can have a pro-life speaker and be diverse. >> don't hold your breath. i told you not to. dirk? >> no, i'm not -- i can't watch it. my blood pressure goes up so high when i watch these people. it's not -- it defies common sense. the left defies common sense. all i have, i'm not a smart guy but i have a lot of common sense. these are voltaire's bastard children. the liberal elites. they turned the age of reason into its opposite. it's dogma that they just feed them in the first grade through grade 18 and they come out like the little liberals they are. they all think the same. i can't watch it.

>> can't argue with that. >> yeah, you can. yeah, you can. i think it's important no matter the level that we might disagree. i think that we don't do ourselves tremendous service when we don't engage. that's just my take. i think again, if we are all talking about we are not red face or blue face or black or white or gay or straight, we have to have some kind of accord. it can be contentious. >> it's the constitution. it's america. >> we all have to participate. >> i don't. >> constitution. >> you know, we're the only show where people cheer the constitution. >> it's a very good thing. >> now they are cheering usa. going crazy over here. still ahead, i walk amongst the little people at the rnc. my behind the scenes tour is next. stick around. ♪

my next guest played 12 seasons of major league baseball, became stinking rich, lost it all and eventually spent two and a half years in prison. now lenny dykstra is sharing the story of his incredible rise and fall in an amazingly honest scary new book called "house of nails." a memoir of life on the edge. the construction, the demolition, the resurrection. according to the publisher, it's full of dirt and wild stories, drinking, drugs, the works. this gave me an idea. here's how it works. i spin the wheel, wherever it lands, lenny shares a story about that topic. how's that feel? you ready? >> i'm always ready. >> i know. i can tell. you're quite ready. all right. here we go. there's amazing stories in this book. let's spin it.

blackmail. this story blows my mind. blackmail. tell that story. >> wasn't blackmail. it was getting an edge with the umpires. >> right. didn't you hire a private investigator to find out about like gambling and cheating and so if you found out an umpire was cheating on his wife? >> i didn't hire one. i had an army of them. because it's not about cheating on the wife. it's the same thing as a catcher brown-nosing the umpire all night, working the umpire, working him. i just went to the next level because i got tired of trying to be nice to these guys. then end up getting in fights with catchers because they're working the umpire. it's not a coincidence i led the league in walks after that. >> you should have thanked your private investigator after every hit. where will it go?

where will it go? it will go to what i care about most, drugs. steroids. what are your thoughts on steroids? did you do steroids? >> absolutely. i mean, yeah. then what happened is you hit .325 and then you lead the league in hits, and you make the all-star team and then you get paid $30 million opposed to if you don't take them, you get fired, have to get a real job, make $60,000 and you're miserable. so i'm saying that because the guy next to you's taking them. >> you got to take them to compete. >> what are you going to do, say you know what, i'm going to be a good guy. really? you're cho ar're cheating your there. >> it's like everybody drinks coffee in the office to be awake and energized. in a weird way, steroids is athlete coffee. >> actually, we have

amphetamines for that. which by the way, which is where i have a real problem with the hall of fame. the hall of fame, like the three best players in baseball aren't in the hall of fame. barry bonds, roger clemens and pete rose. >> it's funny, i went to high school with barry bonds. he used to sit behind me and cheat off me in spanish class. he was always cheating. i was his steroid. all right. >> you're real smart, weren't you? >> no. i was an egghead. he used to sit behind me in sophomore spanish and kick my chair until i moved. i used to have to move the test over so he could look at it. he was really skinny. >> yeah, he was. >> he was very skinny and his head was normal size. >> was he [ bleep ] then? >> yeah, he was. >> he was the best player in the game, i give him that. the pitchers would pitch around him. i said just throw him in the neck. >> lenny, i bet this book is

going to go great. the reason why you should get this book is that it's actually a real autobiography. he wrote it without any kind of governance. nobody told you what to say, what not to say. you can get it anywhere. go to amazon. house of nails. you know we said we'd take a look at our retirement plan today. not now! i'm cleaning the oven! yeah, i'm cleaning the gutters!
