FROM NEW YORK. ♪ ♪ >> THERE'S BEEN QUESTIONS RAISED ABOUT YOUR TEMPERAMENT AND YOUR REACTION TO CRITICISM, AND EDITORIAL USED THE TERM "IRASCIBLE." HOW MUCH DOES A SOFT EFFECT TO DO WITH YOU ARE A WOMAN, SPECIFICALLY A BLACK WOMAN? >> ABOUT 99% OF IT. >> Greg: THE OTHER PERCENT WAS TOO BUSY GETTING SHOT IN YOUR CITY. ♪ ♪ [APPLAUSE] ♪ ♪ >> Greg: ALL RIGHT, ANOTHER GREAT SHOW TONIGHT. JULIE BANDERAS IS BACK. WHICH IS PRETTY AMAZING GIVEN YESTERDAY'S BOAT TRIP. [LAUGHTER] [SCREAMING] >> IT WAS A HUGE -- >> Greg: BUT AT LEAST YOU TRIED IT OUT. I MEAN, YOU'RE CLOSE. MICHAEL LOFTUS IS HERE. AS USUAL HE LOOKS LIKE HE GOT DRESSED IN THE DARK AT A HOMELESS SHELTER. STILL BOXCAR WILLIE'S JACKET. BUT HE'S HAVING A GREAT SUMMER, IF ONLY HE AND HIS BUDDIES COULD LEARN TO THROW FRISBEE. >> Greg: SOME FRIENDS? ALL RIGHT, SHUT UP. SO WE ARE ALL HAPPY TO BE HERE WITH YOU. YOU KNOW WHO'S NOT HAPPY? CNN. WAS IT DESTINATION FOR NEWS WHEN TV WAS IN BLACK-AND-WHITE IS NOW A MOTLEY ASSORTMENT OF GLUM FOR EGGS TOUTING WITH THE WHAT'S LEFT OF THEIR SHREDDED REPUTATION. THEY ARE CLINGING TO PAST GLORY AND FULL OF COMMIES. IT'S A CLOWN CAR MINUS THE CAR. SO BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND QUARTER OF THIS YEAR, THE NETWORK HAS LOST MORE THAN HALF OF ITS AUDIENCE. IN NEAR MONTHS, THEY WENT FROM SIX PEOPLE TRAPPED IN AN AIRPORT WATCHING DON LEMON CRY TO THREE. AND THOSE THREE VIEWERS WERE BAGGAGE HANDLERS ON BREAK. YEAH, THEY ARE RACING TO THE BOTTOM FASTER THAN BRIAN STELTER EATING A CAN OF CONCENTRATED TOMATO PASTE. IT'S NOT ELEGANT, BUT IT'S TASTY. THERE PRIME TIME HOURS ARE IN FREE FALL AVERAGING UNDER 1 MILLION VIEWERS. MEANWHILE IN THE DAYTIME IT'S ROUGHLY 650,000 VIEWERS BUT I DO THAT WHEN I DO PILATES ON MY BALCONY. RELIABLE SOURCES HOSTED BY CAPTAIN POP AND FRESH LOST 53% OF ITS VIEWERS SINCE JANUARY. REMEMBER, IT'S A TOUGH QUESTION THAT JEN PSAKI WAS ASKING ON HOW HE COULD DO HIS JOB BETTER. STOP WRITING BOOKS ABOUT FOX NEWS AND REPORT THE NEWS, YOU SHAVED HAMSTER. SINCE LAST YEAR, CNN LOST 49% OF TOTAL VIEWERS. THEY ARE CHANGING THEIR SLOGAN FROM THE WORLDWIDE LEADER IN NEWS TO THE MOST-WATCHED NEWS RENT NETWORK AT PLANET FITNESS. MSNBC LOST VIEWERS ALSO SUCCUMB BUT NOT NEARLY AS MUCH. YOU CAN'T ATTRIBUTE IT TO SUCH GENERIC DISINTEREST BUT THEY GOT HIT LOSING 70% -- IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE GIVEN A COUNTRY REOPENING AND COMING OUT OF AN ELECTION. SOME ARE ARRIVING, SLOW NEWS, BRIAN KILMEADE. BUT THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON WITH CNN. THEY DON'T HAVE A SINGLE SHOW IN THE TOP 20. WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS? >> DO YOU MISS ME? THEY MISS ME. THEY MISS ME. I KNOW. THEY LOOK AT THEIR BAD RATINGS AND THEY ARE SAYING, WE MISS THIS GUY. I SAID IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. I WAS WAITING FOR THEM TO ENDORSE ME, ACTUALLY. I KNOW THAT WAS A BIG STEP, BUT THEY ARE GOING DOWN THE TUBES. THE NUMBERS ARE VERY BAD VERY BAD. >> Greg: IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S TRUE AND IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S TRUMP. ALL CNN HAS GOING FOR IT WAS BROKEN REMOTE CONTROLS AT GRANDMA'S AND OF DEEP HATRED FOR TRUMP AND EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. FROM THERE ONCE 89 MILLION FOLLOWERS ON TWITTER TO THE GUY WHO MAKES HIS TACO SALAD. AND ONCE THE TARGET OF HATRED LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE, THEIR ONLY NARRATIVE WAS ORPHANS. OF COURSE, THEY CONTINUED LOATHING TRUMP SUPPORTER'S, BUT IT JUST WASN'T THE SAME. TO CNN, THE WHITE HOUSE WITHOUT TRUMP WAS LIKE ONE DIRECTION WITHOUT ZANE. GOING TO LET THAT REFERENCE SIT FOR A WHILE. SUCH A BIG INTERESTING TARGET THAT CNN COULD FEED OFF OF HIM LIKE A GIANT LEECH. IT WAS AN ENDLESS BUFFET OF YUMMY STORIES. REMOVE THAT, YOU SEE CNN FOR WHAT IT IS. FIRST, UNAPPEALING AND ANGRY HOSTS. CNN WAS KAREN BEFORE KAREN EVEN EXISTED. IN FACT, IT'S UNFAIR TO KAREN'S TO KEEP USING THAT NAME NEGATIVELY WHEN IT IS REALLY NOT KAREN, IT IS DON, CHRIS, AND ANDERSON WERE THERE FOR US. CNN IS THE ONE STOP SHAMING NETWORK. WE NAMED HER WAGGING AND OVERPAID FINGER. THEY PASS JUDGMENT LIKE A CATTLE FARM HOUSES GAS. CNN WENT FROM RESPECTIVE NEWS TO A RUMORMONGERING HATE MACHINE. YOU COULD SAY THEY ARE FOMENTING RACIAL STRIFE HELPED DESTROY CITIES. YOU COULD SAY THEY HAVE MORE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS THAN HANNIBAL LECTOR AFTER LUNCH. HE COULD SAY THAT BUT I WON'T. BECAUSE I'M THE TYPE OF VALUE. BUT ALSO, CNN'S OBSESSION WITH TRUMP LED TO BOATLOADS OF ERRORS FROM COLLISION, LAFAYETTE SQUARE, THE WUHAN LEFT ON THE UP, DON'T SHOOT, PRUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA. THEY WALKED BACK MORE TALES THAN A TUXEDO DELIVERY SERVICE. THAT WAS BAD. BUT THEIR STRATEGY WAS ALWAYS A PIVOT FROM ONE TRUMP TALE TO ANOTHER. NOW THAT HE'S GONE, SO DOES THAT STRATEGY. MEANWHILE THE SAME TIME WE SAW CNN COLLAPSED, SOMETHING ELSE WAS GOING ON. "GUTFELD!" WAS THE NUMBER ONE CABLE NEWS SHOW FOR THE HOUR. YES! [APPLAUSE] LET'S GET THIS, GET THIS FACT, AT 11:00 WE SURPASSED EVERY CNN SHOW IN EVERY HOUR, EVERY HOUR IN TOTAL VIEWERS. THINK ABOUT THAT. A FUNKY SHOW AT 11:00 P.M. IS BEATING ALL OF THEIR SHOWS IN PRIME TIME. THAT IS NOT LIKE DAVID BEATING GOLIATH, IT IS LIKE DAVID BEATING GOLIATH AND THEN MARRYING HIS SISTER. SAVE TO SEE THEM EVERY THANKSGIVING. THIS SHOW ALSO TOPPLED SOME LONG-RUNNING ALLEGED COMEDY SHOWS ON THE BROADCAST NETWORK INCLUDING BOTH JIMMY'S. NOT A BAD START FOR WHAT THE LEG IS LEGACY MEDIA BRANDED A CERTAIN FAILURE BUT THEY WANTED US TO BAIL SO BAD BECAUSE THEY ARE MISERABLE PEOPLE. THE FAILED COMEDIANS, THE UNHAPPY BLOG WRITERS, THE GAWKERS ON TWITTER. THEY NEEDED THIS SHOW NOT TO WORK, BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T WORKING EITHER. BUT NOW THE NUMBERS ARE IN AND WE CRUSHED IT. AND WEIRDLY THEY ARE HAVE GONE. BUT IT'S NOT OVER YET. I'M NOT READY TO HAVE THE LAST LAUGH. I JUST ENJOY THE FACT THAT WE ARE ALL LAUGHING. WE ARE HAVING A GOOD TIME. WE DON'T TALK DOWN TO THE VIEWERS. LET'S BE HONEST, I CAN'T TALK DOWN TO ANYONE. BUT WE ARE INTERESTED IN DIVIDING PEOPLE -- WE DON'T TELL FAMILY MEMBERS TO INFORM ON LIBERALS OR TRY TO DIP TO PLATFORM CNN. WE WANT YOU TO GO TO BED FEELING HOPE AND NOT HOPELESS. WE DON'T THINK THE OTHER SIDE IS EVIL, WE JUST THINK THEY ARE WRONG. BUT THEY THINK WE -- A SHOW BUILT ON LOVE IS THRIVING. I MEAN, LOOK AT THE LOVE THAT WE SHOW EACH OTHER. >> TYRUS, I'M GLAD YOU GOT DRESSED TODAY. YOU ARE NOT A CLEAN PERSON, ARE YOU? >> JUDGE, YOU DON'T CARE. YOU ARE SO RICH. WELCOME TO THE SHOW, I GATHER YOU JUST GOT OF OF CHARITY FUN RUN. >> GROUND, HE REALLY BLEW THAT SET UP. WHAT IS SNOBBERY, DEFINED SNOBBERY. >> YOU ARE WHITE AND I WOULD SAY PROBABLY A JERK, RIGHT? MORGAN, I HOPE YOU LEFT YOUR MOTORCYCLE AT BACK. IT'S HARD, BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS TO BEGIN WITH. SO DID THEY GO MINUS SIX? >> IT LOOKS LIKE HE ACTUALLY MUGGED LIBERACE WITH THAT JACKET. ABBY, WELCOME TO THE SHELTER THIS ISN'T LIKE FOX NATION WHERE YOU COULD JUST USE THE F WORD WHENEVER YOU WANT. >> TO THAT POINT, YOU ARE BAT [BLEEP] CRAZY. >> YOU HAVE CHILDREN, WHICH IS A SCARY THOUGHT. ONCE AGAIN, I'M GLAD THAT YOU ARE NOT -- YOU ARE REFUSING TO GET DRESSED UP FOR THE SHOW. LAST NIGHT WERE PROBABLY IN SOME HOTEL ROOM BOMBED OUT OF YOUR SKULL AND BARELY KNEW WHERE YOU WERE. FOX AND FRIENDS IS A LEAD IT CURVY COUCHES AND YOUR COOKING SEGMENTS YOU THINK YOU CAN COME UP IN HERE -- >> YOU ARE SHUTTING COME YOU DON'T GO OUT VERY OFTEN. KAT, BEFORE YOU GOT MARRIED, YOU WERE FILTHY. YOU DIDN'T GO STRAIGHT TO BED. [APPLAUSE] >> Greg: THAT IS LOVE. AND MAY BE OUR SUCCESS AND SENSITIVITY CAN TEACH CNN SOMETHING. MAYBE THEY WILL LOOK AT GOT FOULED AND GO, YOU KNOW IT CUMMINGS MORE THAN JUST A PRETTY FACE. HE'S ALSO VERY SHORT. WELCOME TONIGHT'S GUESTS. SHE IS SAUCIER THAN AN EXPLOSIVE RACCOON FACTORY, FOX NEWS ANCHOR. HE IS THE FORMER AG WHO CAN BENCH PRESS YOU AND ME, FORMER ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL MATT WHITAKER. WHEN HOMELESS PEOPLE SEE HIM, THEY GIVE HIM SPARE CHANGE, EDITOR IN CHIEF MICHAEL LOFTUS. AND THEY CALL HER A BOTTLE BLONDE, BECAUSE SHE BROUGHT IT TO HER HAIR APPOINTMENT. FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR KAT. JULIE, QUITE IMPRESSIVE START FOR THAT SHOW. FEEL FREE TO -- >> YOU'RE WELCOME. >> Greg: FEEL FREE TO COMPLEMENT ME AND BY SUCCESS. SHOWER ME WITH PRAISE. OR JUST SHOWER ME. >> I THINK EVERY TIME YOU COULD'VE COME ON -- EVERY TIME I'VE COME ON YOUR RATINGS HAVE BEEN GREAT. I'M REALLY PROUD OF YOU. YOU'VE COME A FAR WAY BACK WHEN YOU STARTED RIGHT I TO GLORIOUSLY GOING TO A THREE HOUR INTRO THERE WITHOUT STUMBLING ONCE, WHICH IS QUITE FRANKLY, AMERICO. >> Greg: I KNOW IT'S A SURPRISE I CAN EVEN TALK. >> I'M HONESTLY REALLY IMPRESSED, YOU'VE COME FAR. >> Greg: YES, YES. WHAT DO YOU SEE, MATT, AS THE FUTURE FOR CABLE NEWS? BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY ARE IN A DOWNWARD SPIRAL, EXCEPT FOR FOX, OF COURSE. WE ARE ON AN UPWARD SPIRAL. WE HAVE NOW REACHED A POINT IN OUR SOCIETY WHERE THIS IS ENTERTAINMENT PUT THE NEWS AS ENTERTAINMENT PAIR THAT IS WHAT TRUMP BRIDGED AND NOW SLEEPY JOE BIDEN IS NOT ENTERTAINING US. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE TURNING IT OFF. AND THAT IS WHY YOU ARE SEEING YOUR SHOW AS GREAT AS IT IS, WHEN WE ARE IN THE SHOW IT'S BETTER. [LAUGHTER] BUT IT'S ENTERTAINMENT. POLITICS IS NOW ENTERTAINMENT PEER THIS IS WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE LOOK FOR. >> THE THING ABOUT FOX THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN CNN IS THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY PEOPLE. >> WEIGHT -- >> Greg: IF CNN -- CNN, THEY ALL JUST VARIATIONS OF ONE PERSON. BUT FOX IS ALL DIFFERENT PEOPLE. AND SO THAT PEOPLE DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE ON THIS NETWORK AND FEEL LIKE THEY KNOW THEM. AND THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN WHEN YOU TURN ON CNN AND EVERYBODY SEES A DIFFERENT VERSION OF ANDERSON COOPER. AND YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR FINGER TO YOUR MOUTH LIKE YOU HAVE A THOUGHT. >> IT'S ALMOST LIKE IT'S FOX & FRIENDS. >> DON'T JUMP AHEAD TO. YOU THINK I'M KIDDING. THAT IS WHAT YOU CALL A LONG TEASE. WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO THAT STORY. THE OTHER THING TOO IS THAT I THINK ONCE TRUMP STARTED HAMMERING THE PHRASE "FAKE NEWS," WHICH WASN'T A NEW IDEA. BUT ONCE IT WAS COMING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE AND THAT HE WAS DOING IT EVERY DAY, IT CHANGED THE MEDIA WHO THEN HAD TO DEFEND ITSELF, BUT COULDN'T. SPEAK OF THE WHOLE THING IS WONDERFUL. THE SUCCESS OF THE SHOW IS TRULY WONDERFUL. IT'S A REMINDER THAT WE ARE NOT CRAZY, BECAUSE FOR YEARS, YEARS, AND YEARS, ALL OF THESE LEAD TO THE LEFT. AND THEN YOU ARE LIKE OKAY, SO I'M NOT CRAZY. AND WHEN TRUMP WAS ELECTED, THE MASK CAME OFF AND CNN WERE JUST LIKE TRUMP JUNKIES. THOSE POOR PEOPLE WHO WOULD WATCH CNN AND REALLY BELIEVE IT -- TODAY IS THE DAY THEY ARE GOING TO GET THEM. THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IMPUTE THOSE POOR PEOPLE -- THE ADRENALINE RUSH. THEY ARE NOT WATCHING CNN, BECAUSE THEY ARE COLLAPSED IN THE BATHROOM SOBBING AND JUST ROCKING THEMSELVES -- IT'S HORRIBLE. >> YOU KNOW THAT FEELING INTIMATELY. >> I DO. >> Greg: I'M JUST HAPPY YOU CLAIM ALMOST CLEANED YOURSELF UP. EVERYBODY USES THE PHRASE "KAREN" AND IT IS UNFAIR TO WOMEN NAMED CAMERON BECAUSE IT'S ALMOST BIGOTED, BUT CNN IS MORE LIKE GLADYS FROM BEWITCHED. REMEMBER GLADYS WAS THE NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR AND CONSTANTLY CONSUMED, HATED TO BE WITH FAMILY. BUT WAS CONSUMED BY THEM BY TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED BEFORE CATS BIRTH. >> IS GOOD TO SAY YOU HAVE TO GIVE DIFFERENT CULTURAL REFERENCE. >> IT'S LIKE A NOSY NEIGHBOR THAT'S OBSESSED WITH YOU. THEY HATE YOU, HATE YOU, HATE YOU. BUT THE RELIABLE SOURCES -- IT'S ABOUT FOX NEWS. IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT FOX NEWS, NOTHING ELSE. SO WHEN DO YOU SEE THIS GOING? I'D LIKE TO SAY YOU DESERVE PARTIAL CREDIT FOR THIS SUCCESS OF THE SHOW. BUT I'LL LEAVE THAT UP TO THE VIEWERS. >> NO, IF YOU HAD TO COME AND I UNDERSTAND -- ALSO, EVERYONE -- HE DIDN'T HAVE TO BRING ME ALONG ON THIS JOURNEY AS THEY CALL IT ON THE BACHELOR AND THE BACHELORETTE. I THINK IT'S AWESOME COME I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT WE TALK ABOUT STUFF THAT OTHER PEOPLE DON'T TALK ABOUT. NOT EVERYBODY HAS THE EXACT SAME POINT OF VIEW ON THE SHOW. AND LIKE YOU SAID, WE ARE STARTING WITH THIS OR ENDING THE SHOW WITH BEASTIE HOLIDAY, YOU DON'T SEE THAT ON CNN. >> NO, YOU DON'T. >> PRODUCE AND WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT [BLEEP]. >> Greg: BY THE WAY, THE STORY IS AN INTERESTING DEBATE THAT IS RAGING IN SOCIAL MEDIA. BUT IT HAPPENS TO INVOLVE A WOMAN MAKING OUT WITH A DOG. >> THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. [LAUGHTER] >> I'M A FORMER PROSECUTOR. ACTUALLY, I THINK IN EVERY STATE IT IS BANNED. LET'S JUST SEE THE SHOW AND REVERSE. >> DEFINED MAKING OUT. >> Greg: I CAN'T BELIEVE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS IN
