Trump plays the media like a cat with a ball of yarn: Greg Gutfeld

Well, it was fun while it lasted, but
President Trump's putting to bed his
favorite way to drive libs crazy.
The Trump Organization is selling hats
that say Trump 2028. Yeah. Are you
seriously considering a third term? It's
something that to the best of my
knowledge you're not allowed to do. I
don't know if that's constitutional that
they're not allowing you to do it or
anything else, but there are many people
selling the 2028 hat. But this is not
something I'm looking to do. I think
we're going to have four years. And I
think four years is plenty of time to do
something really spectacular. But when
one media hoax dies, another one gets
its wings. The press is twisting
President Trump's I don't know comment
to make it seem like he's unsure about
upholding the Constitution, conveniently
leaving out the full context of what he
said in this NBC interview. Listen. Your
Secretary of State says everyone who's
here, citizens and non-citizens, deserve
due process. Do you agree, Mr. I don't
know. I'm not I'm not a lawyer. I don't
know. Well, the fifth amendment says I
don't know. It seems It seems It might
say that, but if you're talking about
that, then we'd have to have a million
or two million or three million trials.
Don't you need to uphold the
Constitution of the United States as
president? I don't know. Uh I have to
respond by saying again, I have
brilliant lawyers that work for me and
they are going to obviously follow what
the Supreme Court said. What you said is
not what I heard. The Supreme Court said
they have a different interpretation.
Well, he's not a lawyer, Judge Shenine,
and that's why we elected him president.
Okay, a couple of thoughts. She says
that the Fifth Amendment requires it.
So, of course, I pull out I carry this
in my purse all the time. I don't know
why. I think someday I'll be arrested or
something. I'll take it out. Fifth
Amendment is about a grand jury. It's
about double jeopardy. It's about a
person not being compelled to be a
witness against himself. And you cannot
be deprived of life, liberty, or
property without due process. It says
nothing about illegal. So, cut the crap.
Kristen Welker, you're a good person,
but you're wrong on this. That's number
one. Now, the question is to whether or
not third term, we all know he made it
very clear. He said, uh, to the best of
my knowledge, you're not allowed to do
it. End of the story. But they can't.
They're all about imagination,
fascination. Maybe he will, maybe he
won't. But then on this whole thing of
Abrago Garcia, I went back and I read
the Supreme Court decision again. They
are interpreting it when she said,
"Isn't he entitled to due process?"
Abrao Garcia was entitled, according to
the Supreme Court, to be facilitated in
his return only because there was a
withholding order and he shouldn't have
been deported because of the withholding
order. Okay? because he's MS-13 and
they'll kill him with the other uh uh
gang. So, let's be clear about this. The
Supreme Court never said in a BGO Garcia
case that due process is required for
illegals. Can they get an immigration
hearing? Probably. But that doesn't mean
they go to court. And we can't possibly
do it. 20 million. We can't even get
through trials in this country. And
speedy speedy trial is a reason a lot of
defendants get out of jail because we
can't even give the citizens trials. the
I don't know hoax, Greg. Uh, do you
think this has legs? No, it doesn't.
Trump is the cat and the media is just a
ball of yarn. And it's refreshing to see
because for the longest time, we were
the ball of yarn and the media was
always poking and tugging and unraveling
us for decades. Trump represents us. Now
our guys flipped the script and you get
no sympathy for me. He likes playing
with him. For example, you know, it was
very clever about the uh about running
again. He doesn't have to run for a
third term. Somebody else runs for a
third term with him as VP. He res the
person represent resigns. He's
president. Then the fourth term. Then
the fourth term happens again. This time
Vance goes, "No, I'm going to stay. If
I'm elected, I'm going to stay." They
get in and he goes, "Oh, I have a heart
ailment." Resigns. Trump again. That's
four terms. Four terms. He triggers
these guys more than the NRA. Um, I feel
like the med the media is like a junkie
who doesn't know they've hit rock bottom
yet. And Trump is just showing them
every day so maybe they can start over.
He's basically pulling a one-man
intervention saying, "You guys, nobody
trusts you. Nobody likes you. Why don't
you give it up? Start over. Move to a
new town." Speaking of third terms,
Dana, and that is an interesting idea,
Greg. I think you should run that up the
flag pole. I will. I think you just did.
Uh he he was asked about um his
successor. Watch.
I think we have tremendous people. I
think we have a tremendous group of
people. We talked about a number of
them. Uh you look at Marco. You look at
JD Vance who's fantastic. You look at I
could name 10, 15, 20 people right now
just sitting here. No, I think we have a
tremendous party. So he name checked
Marco and JD. So, I thought this was
very very interesting because um one I
think it's good for him to put to bed
the idea of the third term and just like
let it go and if the media continues to
run with it, you can make fun of them.
But I think that is settled. The fact
that he said there could be 15 to 20
people who run. That was his first
response. So, you have an open primary
on both sides. Imagine the stages for
these debates, right? 15 to 20 people on
both sides. But then in a follow-up, he
says JD Vans or Marco Rubio. So, there's
a that gives you a little palace
intrigue. Now, we've just finished the
past the first 100 days. Usually, you
don't start talking about the next
presidential election until midnight on
the night of the midterm election in
2026. But because of the situation that
we're in, the Democrats have absolutely
no one. And Trump is saying, "I'm not
going to handpick a successor, at least
not at this point." But that makes him
more powerful because then he'll be able
to say, "Let me take look around. Let me
see who I like, who I don't like." And
maybe he will and maybe he won't. And
that will be the intrigue. and drive a
lot of media speculation. I love palace
intrigue. What about you, Harold Ford
Jr.? I like palace intrigue, too. I'd
say just a couple things, judge. I think
what she Christine Welker, I think what
she was saying regarding the due
process, she was saying to uh Secretary
Rubio, who did say that he believed that
citizens and non-citizens were deserving
of due process. And I think you're you
could be right, but I do think the the
the case down in Texas where you had the
Trump the Trump we do we know that the
Trump appointed judge who said the Alien
Enemies Act cannot be used to deport
these people without hearings. What the
court is ultimately going to decide is
what you said earlier, Jesse, which I
don't fully agree with, but what you
said, who has due process rights? Do
citizens have it more than non-citizens?
That's what the court will have to
decide. Couple things. Um I'm glad the
president was not shy about talking
about a third term, the the hats and all
that kind of stuff. And that's him. He
wants to continue to be relevant. If I
were him, you if you could do those
things, you have that kind of authority
to do it because after two years in a
second term, you generally are a lame
duck. Maybe even after a year. This
president certainly will be because he's
made it clear he's going to he's going
to involve himself on who is his
successor. What I was most interested in
the welfare interview was something a
little different. He said something
there about uh tariffs and in our
economy. And he said, you know, um maybe
kids today have too many toys and too
many dolls. And that might be true. Um,
but what I was hoping he might say in
addition to that, because normally when
you hear presidents say things like that
and they're asking the country to
sacrifice, they're asking us to
sacrifice on the part of making our
country better. Kendi said, "Ask not
what you can do, what your country can
do for you, but instead what you can do
for your country." I mean, if we're
trying to and and make the country
better by asking for more welders and
electricians and engineers and nurse
practitioners and maybe even air traffic
controllers and said we have to
sacrifice a bit for that, that'd be
great. But what I didn't hear, and what
troubled me slightly, is that if we're
going to ask middle class and
working-class people to not give as many
birthday gifts or Christmas gifts, which
might be fine, why not ask billionaires
not to is three planes enough? Is three
yachts enough? Are four homes enough?
And say that we're going to take that
money and pay down our debt. I just
don't think the very people, Mr.
President, who made you president this
second time, working-class Americans,
don't just ask them to sacrifice. Is he
talking about cheap goods out of China?
That's all he was talking about. No, no.
He was talk. He said the price I'm just
quote, you could play it back. He said
they don't need $30. Maybe they'll pay
more for two or three. So, he's
admitting I believe that's an
acknowledgement that the price will go
up. But look, I don't even mind. I think
I think sacrifice is good for our
country. But don't just ask a working
guy. How do you turn that into a class
division when the price turn? He said
it. I'm reacting. No, you're turning it.
You're saying he's only asking average
people and not rich people. He is
because that's what he do. No, he's he's
asking everybody. How many yachts are
enough? How many homes are enough? How
relevant is that in We're not going to
touch your dolls. Okay, Carol, you are
so creepy sometimes. You're almost 50.
It's always always good to be back
around. Oh my god. Up next, the far left
