Obama's pink underwear: The angriest "cable news" star of them all was thrilled with one part of Tuesday night's address.
The following night, at 10:16 Eastern, the angriest child shared his thoughts with his hand-picked panel of dimwitted guests. Here's what the thrilled child said:
GUTFELD (3/5/25): One of the best things that he said last night, and I love it, when he said that kids identifying as trans is a big lie. Do you know how long I have waited for somebody to say that? That we know it is a big lie, and now you can say that?
For the record, this angriest child is now 60 years old! Even now, he explicitly refers to climate change as a "hoax."
At any rate, that's what the angry host said. In fairness, he was presenting a perfectly reasonable paraphrase of what the president actually said. This was the relevant passage from the commander's address:
PRESIDENT TRUMP (3/4/25): ...Shortly after taking office, I signed an executive order banning public schools from indoctrinating our children with transgender ideology. I also signed an order to cut off all taxpayer funding to any institution that engages in the sexual mutilation of our youth.
And now, I want Congress to pass a bill permanently banning and criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in the wrong body. This is a big lie. And our message to every child in America is that you are perfect exactly the way God made you.
That's what the commander said. For the record, he may have a limited idea of what is involved in any account of "the way God made" some particular child.
At any rate, that's what he said. The following night, an angry lad from a sunny land announced that he was thrilled with what the commander had said.
On the basis of eruptions like this, we've accurately said that the Fox News Channel's Gutfeld! program isn't a comedy show. We've also said that it isn't even a "cable news" show.
Most accurately, Gutfeld! is a propaganda program hiding behind comedy elements. It's presided over by a weirdly angry dysfunctional man who is supported, on a nightly basis, by a constantly changing four-member panel of ideological tools.
It's hard to know what the president or the angry child meant by the claim concerning what they called a "big lie." As far as we know, there is a long global history of the phenomenon under review. The leading authority on the topic offers this brief thumbnail from a much longer set of reports:
Transgender history
Accounts of transgender people (including non-binary and third gender people) have been uncertainly identified going back to ancient times in cultures worldwide. The modern terms and meanings of transgender, gender, gender identity, and gender role only emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. As a result, opinions vary on how to categorize historical accounts of gender-variant people and identities.
The galli eunuch priests of classical antiquity have been interpreted by some scholars as transgender or third-gender. The trans-feminine kathoey and hijra gender roles have persisted for thousands of years in Thailand and the Indian subcontinent, respectively. In Arabia, khanith (like earlier mukhannathun) have occupied a third gender role attested since the 7th century CE. Traditional roles for transgender women and transgender men have existed in many African societies, with some persisting to the modern day. North American Indigenous fluid and third gender roles, including the Navajo nádleehi and the Zuni lhamana, have existed since pre-colonial times.
[...]
Transgender American men and women are documented in accounts from throughout the 19th century. The first known informal transgender advocacy organization in the United States, Cercle Hermaphroditos, was founded in 1895.
And so on, and on and on. Lucky for us, an angry child has now come along to help us see how widespread the historical lying has been!
This is a complicated topic. Anthropologically, many members of our species are disinclined to come to terms with the planet's endless array of complications.
The greatest anthropologist of the last century offered an account of such people. He offered this account of the way we humans may sometimes behave in the face of unwanted complexity and complication:
Where I come from, we only talk so long. After that, we start to hit.
The comment was recorded in a book the New York Times selected as one of the past century's hundred greatest (Ball Four, Jim Bouton). On the Gutfeld! program, the world is given a chance to see this synopsis validated on a nightly basis.
Below, we'll show you more of what was said in the Gutfeld! programs last week, with Barack Obama mocked as secretly being a woman and Michelle Obama mocked as secretly being a man. (That used to be Maureen Dowd's beat!) As this garbage emerges from the can every night, the New York Times averts its gaze—refuses to report this remarkable conduct.
So too with the scholars at the Mediaite site. Quite literally, they never comment on what occurs on this heavily watched TV show. They routinely post about the little-watched CNN show which airs during the same 10 p.m. Eastern hour
On Wednesday evening's Gutfeld! show, millions of viewers were excitedly told that a long global history has all been a big lie. With that, we skip ahead to a news report in today's Washinton Post.
Here again, we'll show you something said by President Trump in Tuesday night's address. For now, the Post's news report concerns a thrilling new study which is reportedly being planned by the CDC:
CDC plans study on vaccines and autism despite research showing no link
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is planning a study into the potential connections between vaccines and autism, according to two people familiar with the plan, despite overwhelming scientific evidence that there is no link between the two.
The request for the study came from Trump administration officials, said the two people familiar with the plan, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation. President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy have repeatedly linked vaccines to autism.
Kennedy, an anti-vaccine activist, has disparaged vaccines for years. A previous Washington Post examination found that since 2020, Kennedy has linked autism to vaccines in at least 36 appearances, despite the evidence to the contrary.
Trump, who mentioned the rising rates of autism in his address to Congress this week, also has linked vaccines to autism. In a 2012 call into “Fox & Friends,” he said “they go in, they get this monster shot—you ever see the size of it? It’s like they’re pumping in, you know it’s terrible, the amount, and they pump this into this little body, and then all of a sudden the child is different a month later. And I strongly believe that’s it.”
Hallelujah! There may soon be an important new study—an important new study of a matter which has already been studied to death.
Also, sure enough! As it was in 2012, so it was last Tuesday night! The commander did mention the rising rates of autism in his address to Congress. Specifically, here's what he said:
PRESIDENT TRUMP (3/4/25): Our goal is to get toxins out of our environment, poisons out of our food supply, and keep our children healthy and strong. As an example, not long ago—and you can’t even believe these numbers—one in 10,000 children had autism. One in 10,000, and now it’s one in 36. There’s something wrong.
One in 36. Think of that! So, we’re going to find out what it is, and there’s nobody better than Bobby and all of the people that are working with you. You have the best to figure out what is going on. Okay, Bobby. Good luck. It’s a very important job. Thank you.
"You can’t even believe these numbers," the president said.
That may be because one of the numbers he cited is almost surely wrong. Here are the numbers which appear in the Washington Post's news report about the exciting new study:
The number of autism cases is rising in the United States. About 1 in 36 children has received such a diagnosis, according to data the CDC collected from 11 states, compared with 1 in 150 children in 2000.
Researchers attribute much of the surge to increased awareness of the disorder and changes in how it is classified by medical professionals. But scientists say there are other factors, genetic and environmental, that could be playing roles too.
Years of research based on data from hundreds of thousands of patients has shown no link between vaccines and autism. A decade-long study of half a million children in Denmark published in 2019 showed the MMR vaccine does not increase the risk of autism, lending new statistical evidence to what was already medical consensus.
Public health and other experts have feared Kennedy would use his new authority to mislead the public on vaccines.
And so on from there—but sad! According to the CDC, it was actually "1 in 150 children" as of the year 2000. On Tuesday night, the commander rounded that figure off to the more enervating "one in ten thousand" figure.
So it goes and goes and goes as the commander misstates every possible statistic, possibly (or possibly not) in a ""pathological manner (whatever that might mean). On programs like the Gutfeld! show, storebought collections of stooges and hacks cheer the commander on.
Meanwhile, the "comedy elements" on the program are ugly and stupid and coarse. They're also impossibly vast.
Many of these comedy elements revolve around the aging host's astounding obsession with human waste—but they also revolve around his endless obsession with matters of sexuality and gender.
Liberal women are all too fat. The women of the The View look like horses, cows, elephants. (They recently adopted "pig Latin" as their program's official language!)
Michelle Obama is really a man. Rep. Tlaib allegedly has way too much hair on her face. Nancy Pelosi is swimming in Botox. Rep. Nadler is the smelliest person in the entire Congress.
Then too, consider the way the angry fellow started the week. After attacks on the usual suspects, including the size of "Oprah's ass," he arrived at the observation recorded below.
This is what the broken toy said. It was still just 10:01 Eastern!
GUTFELD (3/3/25): A pair of JFK's underwear sold at an auction for $9000, beating the previous record of 45 hundred dollars for Barack Obama's underwear.

GUTFELD: [Makes face]
AUDIENCE: [Shouting, applause]
TYRUS: Whewww.
KENNEDY: They're dainty!
GUTFELD: They are dainty. And they ride up. Trust me!
We know—you think we're making that up. But so it goes on this astonishing, soul-crushing TV program.
To fact-check us, you can click here. Regarding JFK's underwear, this nutcase was citing a report in the New York Post. His insanity took things from there.
This eunuch goes on and on in this way, might after night after night, as four stooges cheer him on. The former VJ known as Kennedy is especially withering, vile.
As the Gutfeld! program goes on and on, Blue America looks away. Also, the president vastly embellishes every statistic. To all intents and purposes, this other astonishing practice has been normalized.
The other Kennedy—Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—comes into play with respect to autism and vaccines. We suggest that you might want to pity the child—the child who saw his uncle murdered when he was 10 years old, then saw his father murdered less than five years later.
Though it may be hard to do in this case, we suggest that you pity the child! That said, does medical science have something to tell us about the way these people may end up behaving as adults? At the New York Times, and across the Blue American spectrum, the players who went to the finest schools have agreed that they must avert their gaze from this endless behavior.
Greg Gutfeld was thrilled this past Wednesday night with respect to a troubling lie. Some people aren't built for complication. In the face of such inconvenience, they simply find ways to hit.
Can medical science help us understand this perpetually angry segment of our species? The New York Times has reached an agreement:
They've agreed not to ask, not to tell.
