KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE (CO-HOST): Her publicist, however, claims that J-Law will return to acting as soon as her next projects are ready to go. Greg, what do you have for us?

GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): Well, I got to say, it's easy to take a year off when you do one, two, three movies at $22 million a pop. And after seeing the movie Mother, she should take a decade off. No, you got -- trust me. Anyway, I have this theory, I've talked about this --

GUILFOYLE: Is that better or worse than the mop movie?

GUTFELD: Mop movie wasn't bad. I call this the “Gutfeld confidence knowledge backwards principal.” It's the adolescent energy of the newly politically converted. So, you are confidence is --

GUILFOYLE: That's not catchy.

GUTFELD: I know, I got to think of a better one. But her -- the confidence is inversely proportional to your knowledge. So, you have less knowledge, more passion, so she's talking about fixing democracy --

DANA PERINO (CO-HOST): No, she said, -- no, she said, “Fix corruption, fix our democracy, corruption, and corruption, and corruption” --

GUTFELD: Yeah, but she's literally take -- she's assuming the identity of a student activist at age 27. That's the proof of my theory.

JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): I didn't know our democracy was broken. If it is broken, I wouldn't call Jennifer Lawrence to come fix it. She can have whatever opinion she wants. She doesn't have an informed opinion from what I understand. She's not the type of celebrity who I'll listen to.
