[cheers and applause] >> usa! usa! >> greg: even got a little "usa" chant.

lots of guys in suits looking at me, eyeballing me. you know what that means. an entire a-block on harry potter. mike said do it or he would walk. who knew pompeo was a harry pothead? i heard him over there talking about his hogwarts. next month there is a new game coming out called "hogwarts legacy." for all you nondorks, dweebs, nerds, and men who have never touched a woman who wasn't a relative, the game is set in the world of harry potter, and it seems like fun, but according to the outrage -- we are always outraged. if you buy this game, you are a bigoted monster. see, for the past year, trans activists have been pushing a boycott of the game over its association with j.k. rowling. she has nothing to do with making the game at all. women don't know computers.

[laughter] of course she will profit from the licensing rights which have certain pro-trans groups boiling mad paper they've been that way for years. she was absent from the harry potter films 2010 version special, and one set, excite even banned mention of the game altogether. essentially proving what she suggested about the trans movement. they are better at deleting women then ted bundy. but what is her actual crime beyond forcing me to do a monologue on harry potter? well, once she retweeted an op-ed piece that talked about people who menstruate. that's right, it was a period piece. [laughter] >> well done. >> greg: thank you. but rowling pointed out that the correct word for this is "women." after the shrieking subsided, she wrote in a follow-up, "if

sex isn't real, this removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives." it isn't hate to speak the truth, and that is true. she also echoed what we have warned about. many, myself included, believe we are watching a new kind of conversion therapy for young beach of people being set on a lifelong path of speed 11 that might result in loss of fertility or full function. whacked ups, therapists, surgical butchers, and big pharma. which sounds like three bands i might like. for that she has been targeted, threaten, and band. they say she's a bigot using her fame to hurt trans people and that she's contributed to anti-trans rhetoric. but it's hard to find evidence of that anywhere. i haven't seen videos of someone sneaking up behind a trans person, struggling them with piano wire, and whispering "j.k. rowling says hello." i haven't heard any of that, and i watch a lot of "fox & friends." [laughter] meanwhile, rowling has stood her

ground. last year someone asked her how she sleeps at night knowing she has lost an audience. she replied, "i read my most recent royalty checks." if only jesse watters could say the same about his book. [laughter] anyway, this video game is going to sell millions, of course, but the reason we are talking about it is this fake boycott [bleep]. not only has she not done anything wrong, she's nothing compared to those who have done real wrong. yet still legions of support. how about michael jackson? you know, the guy with a ferris wheel in his backyard. now, i'm no detective, but that should have been a red flag. that guy's music is still played everywhere. hell, i was dancing to it in front of my bedroom window last night. until the cops arrived and made me put on a robe. [laughter] same for kudlow, too. how about all the movies harvey weinstein produced? are you going to skip "pulp fiction" the next time you are flipping through the channels? that movie and other great ones

would never have been made without that scumbag seen there. how about "rosemary's baby" or "chinatown," directed by none other than roman polanski? and chuck berry. google it to find out what he did. only to say that johnny wasn't being good in the john. if you were to boycott every product that could be traced to some perceived problematic stance, what would you have left? you couldn't go to the movies, you couldn't read novels, you couldn't watch tv. all he would have left our books by dana perino. [laughter] and those things are filthy. [applause] let's welcome tonight's guests! he can't talk to terrorists, mostly because he had them all killed. former secretary of state and author of the great new book, "never give an inch," mike pompeo! [applause] she is the anchor with the rancor!

fox news anchor, julie banderas! [applause] she's got a lot of fans, mostly because she sweats. fox news contributor, kat timpf! [applause] and he uses the great wall of china for calf raises. tyrus! [applause] do i call you mr. secretary? >> no. mike, please. >> greg: "mr. secretary" is more fun, though. >> go for it. but i'm going to need mike to get me out of here tonight. >> greg: let's get right to it. who killed jfk? >> [sigh] >> thanks for coming, sir the one would it be insubordinate if i ignored that? >> greg: somebody watches the show! are you a harry potter fan? >> i don't have any harry potter in my house because there is nothing in it.

[laughter] >> hey-o! >> greg: are you worried? have you been doing for your stuff? >> as soon as i get out of here. >> we will do that in the next block. when you think of this idea of boycotting things and this whole movement against -- it seems kind of bizarre that she has become the focal point for all of this. >> i think we've all seen this before, someone says something, the progressive woke left picks it up, and they try to use economics. it's crazy stuff. a lot of folks want to read her stuff, people should read her stuff. wrinkly, which he said is pretty accurate. we're pretty confident there are two genders and most babies i had by women. >> greg: that's true. speak about the joke. all of them. >> greg: by the way, i'm in chapter 13. it's true, there are aliens, and they live among us. that's pretty powerful. i just made that up. [laughter] >> i was like it, "ooh, i'm reading it!" >> i thought i took that part

out. >> greg: yes, it's been redacted. so, julie, do your kids read harry potter? >> no. we are not a harry potter family. i never understood the fascination of it. but if my kids are going to play video game, i don't think the author or creator of the video game is going to make a difference as to whether i think they should be playing the video game. but i've got to give it to j.k. in 2020 she posted a series of tweets arguing that transgender women should not be counted as women, and this is a quote, "if sex isn't real, the lived reality of women globally is a race." finally a woman who agrees with me that sex isn't real! >> i think you got it backwards. it is real! she saying it israel >> let's go with this. it's not real, that means we are not bad at it. [laughter] >> that's true. at least that's what his wife says. >> greg: where is this going? is this the fastest regret you've ever had? >> i'm pretty sure i know i you have the secretary of state on the floor. i think i just figured it out.

>> he's going to make a code red call. >> i find it ironic that your title is called "never give an inch," and yet you've given away how many, 20 inches? >> a couple. >> greg: see the weight loss connection? this is why i'm sitting here and those other people aren't. >> that's one of the series. >> in the pictures. >> greg: are you a fan of j.k. rowling? you are a weird kid, you probably were 20 years ago, reading those books. >> that's why it's so weird to me that j.k. rowling is this conservative icon now, because my mom wouldn't let me read harry potter, because witchcraft and wizardry were of the devil! i'm completely serious. imagine how easy it was for me to fit in! [laughs] but now she's a conservative icon, because the devil, i feel like i've heard is not conservative. like, he's more of a bad boy. but it's all kind of slipped now, and that's why it's super, super interesting to me. but harry potter, some of the

quotes in this article i could not handle. it was like, lgbtq community roiling over harry potter video game. i don't think that's true. i don't think that's true. some of the quotes in the article, unlike -- they are calling it a crisis? if you think that the crisis, boy, do i have some stories for you. >> greg: yes. it must be nice to have a life where this is the biggest problem you have. >> exactly. >> greg: you don't have cancer in your family, you're not suffering from any debilitating issues. >> you're allowed to read harry potter! >> greg: exactly. how many of these outraged people are actually outraged? or is this an attention-seeking device? >> their definition of outrage, this was probably -- i thought this would be a good shakedown. they would come to her and they donate all kinds of money to the fund and their cause. and when she didn't, now we will cancel you. first of all, she is gangster. i didn't read harry potter, but i'm buying all the books.

i'm getting paperback, hardcover. if there is audio, i'm in it. the video game didn't look my speed. downloaded it today on my xbox. so i am all in, 1000%. why? don't really care for the folks books, but she was being a normal adult women defending herself and defending feminism and being successful, that's not a crime. they try to invent these crimes to take us down. the kids are going to keep buying the book. none of them are buying the book. like, that's the thing. they are not -- woke go broke. how many woke movies did you see when they cannot? none. they all failed miserably. the new woke scooby doo? the worst cartoon debut in the history of cartoons! that means they lost two and a guy took a piece of paper and went like this. and you saw the guy running. >> greg: [laughs] >> that cartoon beat the woke. >> greg: that's great.

is that thomas edison? >> whomever! hocus-pocus, kiss her ass, and enjoy your royalty checks, ma. [applause] >> greg: isn't it called "velma," the new scooby doo cartoon? >> nobody knows what it's called because nobody saw that [bleep]. >> it is "velma." >> i know what it's called. canceled. i knew that, i didn't care. sarcasm. >> greg: up next it is starting to get silly when they handle documents willy-nilly. >> if you'll be in the new york area and would like tickets to see "gutfeld," go to foxnews.com//debt failed and join our studio audience. ♪ ♪ we will, we will rock you ♪ ♪ the gmc sierra with hands free driving

>> greg: that was cute! no defense come even if you are as boring as mike pence? i like him, too pay lights and outcome of people. he informed congress he discovered classified documents from his time as vp in his indiana home earlier this month. which means his wife has also seen them, because there always in the same room. >> i liked that joke. >> thank you! my goodness, what is with you people? they don't remember? >> i thought it was the worst thing is has husband i ever heard in my entire life. i put a lot of heat on everybody. [laughter] >> greg: anyway, now that trump, biden, and pence have all admitted to having classified stuff in their homes, we might as well ask this guy, too, right? well, we did, but barack obama

spokesperson won't save anyone's looking around his home for classified docs, too. telling fox news, "we have nothing for you at this time." exactly what my doctor's office said after obamacare past. [laughter] of the question remains come have a look in obama's closet? perhaps behind the tan suit? or should they take his boyhood home, in kenya? [laughter] can you! kenya believe it? biden maintains he has no regrets despite the searches that have now yielded documents. the white house just keeps kicking the can down the road like they were trying to keep julie from drinking another coors light. roll it, derek. >> president biden went to his house in wilmington. was he doing there? >> i would refer you to the white house counsel. i would refer you to the white house counsel's office. i would refer you to the

white house counsel's office. i would refer you to the white house counsel's office. i would refer you to the white house counsel office. >> greg: i feel like i'm listening to an old shirley temple song that is skipping. that hair! i'm trying to figure out -- that's where it's from. anything to add today, joe? >> everybody had documents. i had some, we know trump had some, pence had some, and i'm sure obama has got a couple of documents out there on the island. and they've got them in the most dangerous place of all, too, right here. so they're all guilty. except me. you know why, right? i can't remember anything! [applause]

>> greg: the story is so interesting because all of this is happening back-to-back. in august it was trump, then this biden thing. it's almost like a case study of how the media treats a story when it happens to their side. you can quickly compare it. the trump thing looks totally over the top and crazy the way they reacted to these other things. what do you think? >> i thought you were going to ask about how many documents i had in my garage. there is none because it's filled with corvettes. >> greg: [laughs] >> it's kind of a rorschach test to see how you respond when your team has these documents. my theory is, and a lot of these things, we should do our best to keep them where they're supposed to be. clearly some of these got away and we need to get them back. >> greg: are we over classifying things? >> undoubtedly. undoubtedly some of what's classified will turn out, if you read it, it wouldn't upset the e whole world or put anyone's life

at risk. then's the rules and he should do our best to play by them. by the way, if you make a mistake and get it wrong, you should regret that. you're the president of the united states, for goodness sake. >> greg: but i'm real mad at pence, tyrus. just had to make it look better for biden. >> no, he didn't! no, he did not. i'm willing to bet it was washington, d.c., classified ads. [laughter] i think mike pence is probably nice to a fault. >> that's actually true. >> and he literally said, "check the office for anything," and there is this one thing that says classified, the pickups ended in. i'll turn myself in." that's mike pence. that makes things and then to sometimes one of my roles here is to smarten you up. in the african american community, when we leave a job, we ain't taking [bleep] with us. we out. not even the curtains. leave it, i'm gone. it's never anything, because we

think if you take it they're going to try to come get it, so we just leave it. >> greg: like your belt? >> come get it! so obama's clean, and of the president, and carter, they didn't even have paper back then so there's nothing there. all those people, pence, trump, obama, none of them had a child making money during that time with foreign entities. so it's completely different. and none of them hid things like a crackhead would. they are, they are , they are. so it's all completely different. you know what, sweet ol' mike pence, good for him. his will be the first one we get to read, i guarantee it's going to be, like, "turkey sandwiches on the menu of the white house." i will 1000% that anybody who wants to do that. poor, sweet mike pence. >> oh, no!

i feel like everyone is missing such a huge thing about the documents at mike pence's house. >> greg: really? what? >> mike pence's house! look at that house! >> greg: it's a great house, isn't it? >> i feel like i've got to try this god thing! that man has been blessed! >> greg: it is a beautiful house. >> it's a massive house! >> greg: if you did an aerial view of where i lived, it would... >> i feel like i would go in and never come out, because i don't know how. >> greg: you've ever been in a big house before? you've been in "the big house!" >> i've actually never been to jail, not to brag. i had no idea. you said sweet poor little mike pence, he's so shy? if i had a house like that, i'd be such a jerk! >> it's not his house. it's her house. >> well... >> any married man knows that. >> greg: yes. >> you sure do!

>> greg: julie, you've been following this story closely and covering it for fox news, breaking a lot of the big stories. congratulations. >> thanks. i'm a journalist. >> greg: you do a lot of journalizing. >> according to the records act, they are supposed to report all documents to the national archives. that's basically having multiple skeletons in a closet. normally i like to keep my skeletons in one closet. in biden's case, he's kept them in five different closets, so the national archives is supposed to basically turn this information over, and biden did turn it over hoping they'd sweep it under the rug. the national archives haven't said a thing on this. that's what i think is very interesting, that they have remained mum on this when it comes to comparing the trump documents and the biden documents. so there is something to be said there about the national archives not speaking up on this matter. i think there's a lot more that we are going to hear, and is going to be many more than 30 documents they're going to

uncover. >> greg: i'm excited. i'm very excited. it's going to be a fun document spring. it's going to be a spring of documents. i don't know, i don't care -- even if they don't find anything, they put everybody through the wringer for the trump stuff, so they deserve it. i am a petty person. >> you are right. i don't normally support his pettiness, but in this situation i do. it's a regular guy accidentally, in his folder, had a classified document, he would go to jail. >> special counsels all around. >> greg: exactly, that's what you have to do. up next, wokesters make a fuss over who is in a sarcophagus. >> let me see it first. >> you can't post that. >> why not? >> i don't agree with that. >> okay. i'm sorry.

>> what are you doing? >> i'm uploading my video. >> that's a warning, pal. >> dude, you need to relax. >> flag! >> what? >> you want to get crazy? boom, double flag! there goes your video! >> did you just cancel me? i'm going to be leaving me now. >> where you going? >> to a place where i can't get canceled and they celebrate free speech. >> [laughs] fantasyland? >> it's not a fantasy land. it's called rumble. later, pal.

's >> greg: welcome back! some woke nut wants to rename king tut. they are getting upset tummies when you use the word "mummies." museums in great britain are

using the terms "mummified person" or "mummified remains" instead of mummy, because it's offensive and doesn't focus on the real person who once was alive. apparently the term "mummy" undermines the humanity of the corpse through legends of the mummy's curse. a museum of scotland spokesmen added they are rethinking their collections in general because of past imperial and colonial thinking, and racial and racist understandings of the world. so now indiana jones is racist. no surprise, they already got spielberg apologizing to sharks. what's next? so you can't say "mummy" anymore, just like you can't say "mommy." if you find a dead egyptian mom in a tomb, make sure to call it "mummified birthing person." although i prefer "nancy." [applause] you people! don't clap for that garbage! can't make a joke about mike pence, but nancy is free

game! tyrus, he told me you loved the story. >> no, i did not. that's fake news. i hate this story, because no one is this stupid. if this was my child i would just stare at him and be like, there's no way. there's no way you came from my loins. your mother's divorce, do you understand? there's no way you are the stupid. >> greg: i guess in england it's because they say "mum" a lot. that could be the confusing part. >> which has nothing to do with "mummy" for mummification! >> greg: we should start calling museums "muzzies" just to piss them off. >> we could call the museums, because they are museums! >> greg: he's getting mad at me. julie, they want us to respect the feelings of mummies, but i seem to remember for my history books that mummies where it really good people. they were emperors or something and they were buried with people who are alive who had to watch over them in case they came back

to life, and they were always clinging to the idea of coming back, and they had slaves and stuff. why are we worried about their feelings? >> there also dead. why do we care about their feelings? i'm like that with people who are alive. >> greg: that's true! >> if you're not breathing, i don't give a [bleep]. i would say the whole mummy/mummification thing, if you've been to a science museum you should know they are a person. and the hollowing costumes, like, they are afraid it's going to affect pop culture. i don't remember the last time mummies were even in pop culture. who cares? come halloween you see kids wrapped in tissue papers. they are mummies but i think they understand it's not a mom wrapped in toilet paper. i never wrapped myself in toilet paper, never. >> greg: why not? >> during the pandemic i was wiping with paper towel rolls. [laughter] >> there was a shortage. >> greg: thank you. >> i could have gone all night without knowing that. >> the night is young, mike. i'm not done.

it.you've both thrown f-bombs. >> greg: someone does it another person has to do it, and all of the sudden everyone is swearing. i don't know. >> there's a couple in the book. those will be mine. >> he is totally a swearer. he is on good behavior. >> they [bleep] it out, so let it fly, mike. >> sounds good. >> greg: have you ever seen a money? they don't even have them in museums anywhere. >> i've been going to a lot of museums. it's a dry january. [laughter] i've never been to so many museums in my life! no, it was pretty cool. i saw a guy tell a girl he was also seeing other people in line at the planetarium. >> shut up! >> he chose that moment! >> oh, my god. that's amazing. >> i'm glad i was for dominic there for her, a complete stranger in line. so yeah, i have. but this makes no sense. they are nerds writing this

stuff like, "actually, it's not mummy, its mummified person." they are saying that because they have no friends because they say stuff like that. can you imagine anyone saying that to you in every speaking to that person again? >> greg: you can't. they are people who are not around other people. they are just like the mummies they are trying to protect. they are isolated, cold, and repulsive! all right, mr. pompeo, what say you about mummy? >> i want to hear more about the planetary museum. >> the guy is holding her close and he chooses that moment, "i'm going on dates," and she pulled away. >> did she go into orbit? >> it's crazy. i don't know. i feel like she could do better. or maybe she can't. >> that's even worse. >> he clearly was. >> greg: way to deflect a whole topic! >> i've got nothing. >> greg: who killed jfk? >> commercial break. [laughter] >> greg: there you go. what about the aliens?

>> i did get to read the ufo files. >> greg: anything good? >> we have bigger problems. [laughs] >> that's not true! >> you don't think we have bigger problems? >> than aliens? it depends how nice they are. >> greg: are they tasty? can we get them? >> i think that would be a bad idea, generally speaking. spew and you acknowledge their existence! >> he's acknowledging that we have visitors, to not eat them! i think that's pretty basic. >> don't give them the bird and don't shoot them. >> greg: no, no, no. we already eat earthlings. >> who is "we?" spewing pigs and cows are earthlings. let's eat martians! >> you got me to admit to classified information on this show. [laughter] >> greg: so you are saying they exist, you don't want to eat them? >> they are poisonous. >> greg: are they? how do we know that? >> tucker carlson! where have you been? [laughter]

[applause] >> greg: something tells me that the government has been feeding aliens to people, and they have been dying. this is definitely a tucker original.

>> greg: his look makes them nervous, so he has trouble getting service. a tattooed alien's is whining that he can enjoy outdoor dinin. a33-year-old french guy -- aren't they all? says restaurants discriminate against him because he is black with tattoos. and also has removed his ears, nostrils, and a few of his fingers. [audience reacts] he has also sharpened and stayed till his teeth, making him look like an evil alien, probably in

edible, from outer space. shows how far a man will go to hide that he's french.

"it's something really hard because i have a healthy leg and an amputation is something big." well, not if you smear fish blood on and go surfing, you coward. start with the head first. but he says he gains confidence when people tell him the way he looks make them feel more secure with themselves. the way people feel secure about their careers after they hang out with kilmeade. unnecessary. but there's no telling what will happen to his confidence when he

realizes that's actually an insult. wow, you are so repulsive that i feel better about being just regular ugly. so who is he kidding? he has no friends, or they would have stopped this madness years ago. in the meantime, he says he's happy here on earth, especially since no other planet will take him. you are saying to me on the break, kat, you probably wouldn't date him. >> no. >> greg: you wouldn't date him at all. >> i wouldn't. >> greg: why, are you racist? is it because he's black? >> no, i wouldn't date a french guy. [laughter and applause] why has he got to say this? "i'm just a normal guy with the family." spewing you don't have a family! >> charles manson had a family paid he had a big family. it does mean he was a normal guy. >> greg: he wasn't. >> obviously you are not employable. well, at hot topic you would be promoted quickly.

right to manager the day you walk in. but there is something deeply wrong with you, and if you are happy, that's fine, but also, like -- it doesn't make me want to eat. >> greg: you can do whatever you want to yourself but you become a burden to others once we have to look at you. i want to be sitting at that cafe with my kids having to look at you. you made these personal choices. it's not up to us to honor your personal choices. right? the restaurants don't have to abide by your stupid mentally ill decisions, julie! [laughter] >> [sigh] my kids talk to me like that all the time. >> greg: [laughs] >> i think you guys are being a little hard on him. he has a great physique. look, he's in shape. he has abs, or a chest, under all that. >> greg: boy, you are lonely. [laughter] >> oh, my god, is it that

obvious? >> he's french. >> i know. long story. i would say, they say not to judge a book by its cover. i would say judge all you want when it comes to this guy. if i was working at a restaurant and he walked in, i would hide under the counter. so i don't blame people for wanting to run away from him. but i will say once again, i think he has a nice body. >> greg: you know what? that is the silver lining that isn't tattooed into his body. it will be. when i look at this, i go, this is a person who has no close friend who says, "hey, gary, pull back." [laughter] >> i also have no judgment on his body. [laughter] it's all good. and thanks for that, we haven't done a mike pence joke. on behalf of the vice president, my friend, thank you. >> greg: i don't think this guy would have any classified information.

>> he is classified! >> greg: but i wonder, tyrus, do freaks hang out with freaks? or is it like when a group of people have one person, you know what i mean? [laughter] hear me out. and every tv show there is a white group and one black guy, right? does a freak -- are they surrounded by normal people? or all the freaks together? >> i don't let [bleep] fly by. he's calling me a freak! he is like, "do people hang around you?" small people seek me out wherever i go! he doesn't have friends. black aliens and they didn't pick us up? what the hell? why does everybody always want to be black? you are a crazy white frenchman with really bad tattoos, and i know something about tattoos. like, what is black? you cut your lips and your nose off. oh, they got scared.

we have different noses, it's okay. we can talk about it. there's nothing about him that's black. nothing. there's nothing about him that's white, either, now that i look at it. he cut his nose off. period. >> greg: to spite his face.

>> greg: a story in five words. mike's new book puzzles me. first question i have to ask you, mike, "never give an inch." who are you talking about? never give an inch to whom? >> any bad guys. how's that? >> greg: that's pretty good. are you talking about other countries? i am always torn between talking about good and evil and then also -- like, i started reading about cognitive empathy, trying to be able to understand the enemy. what are their interests? but if you do that, people will say you are a sympathizer. >> it's a pretty nasty world out there. you got to be pretty strong. >> greg: with your feeling these days about ukraine? let me rephrase that. are we in a war with russia and ukraine is our instrument?

>> i don't think so. i think putin may think we are, but i don't think that's the case. >> greg: i kind of feel that way, because we have been running hot and cold with them for so long. but he did invade, so, i mean... >> killing lots of little kids. not good. >> greg: exactly. what did you make of zelenskyy thinking -- you did he think? jpmorgan, goldman sachs, black rock? that was weird. >> i spent some time with zelenskyy. i'm surprised. he's pretty bold, i give him credit for that. lots of problems in ukraine, lots of corruption. they are fighting, there is no doubt about that. >> greg: that's the thing, they are fighting for the country. all that other stuff kind of goes away. but there is -- we do have to follow the money. when it's going to ukraine. >> watch every book. >> it's likely to end up in hunter's hot tub. [laughter] and then you have to disinfect it. what are you looking at? >> i'm just looking at you. >> do you miss trump?

what was it like working with him? i talked to him often on, and i've always got the sense that it's always good to be on a friendly basis with him, but don't get too close, because you don't want to be the target of, like, anger. what was it like it? >> did you see the pictures of me after those four years? [laughter] i think that answers your question. >> greg: how did you lose your weight? >> i stopped eating everything i love. >> greg: okay, let me ask you this. [laughter] >> that's how it goes down, yes. >> you answer that so quickly, too! >> i can still feel the bread in the pasta. >> greg: how do you get up in the morning? you know then -- basically, did you do kind of an atkins diet? >> i did the pompeo diet. i just stopped eating. [laughter] seriously, no bread, no pasta. that's what i ate. chicken, vegetables. >> but you didn't give an inch. >> greg: what is that stuff

everyone is doing? >> ozempic. >> if i could do a short cut, sign me up. >> greg: i would do ozempic. but diabetics can't get the drug because everyone in hollywood is pumping it. >> it's a needle. so you're not popping it. >> greg: it's a needle? i don't read the stories. >> you asked a question about north korea? >> no, go for the weight loss thing. i know the answer to that one. [laughter] >> greg: it turned out pretty cool. i was going, this is crazy, and then it works out. how were you when it happened? >> it was pretty cool. my first trip, especially. it was a clandestine trip. it is the only thing that didn't leak in four years in washington. and here with this guy, he's pretty evil. a little guy, kind of sweaty. [laughter] >> greg: him and i would get along. and i taller than him? >> uh... [laughter] >> no. >> greg: why are you applauding that? oh, don't make fun of pence, but

make fun of gutfeld's height! >> what advice do you have for men like greg who don't have an inch to give? [laughter and applause] >> we are going to miss her! >> greg: i love that joke, but you won't be back. [laughter] i assume you're not going to answer that. are you running for president? >> i don't know. >> come on! >> greg: that's a "yes." >> we are thinking about it. >> greg: i'm going to give out three names come you tell me which one killed jfk. >> okay. >> greg: sammy davis jr.? >> very unlikely. >> greg: phyllis diller? no? >> no comment. [laughter] i've got to make it exciting. i'm going with phyllis diller. [laughter] >> greg: could have said the aliens did it and it would have blown my brain. >> it was that guy.
