GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): You know, Chris Matthews, what he said -- he's like John Wayne Gacy, is that what he said?

JEANINE PIRRO (CO-HOST): No, John Wayne.

GUTFELD: No, I thought it was John Wayne Gacy. I think he meant to say John Wayne Gacy. I get a weird vibe off Walz. I feel like he's the husband of a missing spouse in a Dateline special, you know what I mean?

PIRRO: Is he a suspect?

GUTFELD: "The beloved high school coach who held mandatory showers before practice." He just has a weird vibe. The key here is brainwashed, right? Like, all of a sudden, the left loves things that they mocked months ago. The rural vote. Since when do Democrats love the rural vote? Aren't those a bunch of hicks in pickup trucks with the red hats? Now all of a sudden they care, they care about white males, the military, the second amendment. And all of a sudden the things that they usually reject -- criminal justice, social justice, sanctuary cities, free health benefits, left-wing protests -- all that stuff takes a backseat to folksy, rural, midwestern white guy, as if we are all supposed to go, "Oh yeah, he's great." Just like Joe Biden was going to be the voice of moderation when you guys put that jackass in front of us. 

Look, the middle of the road here is the road to ruin, and we know that. We don't have to listen to him for two minutes. All we have to do is look at his history. All you have to look at is 2020, what he did to Minneapolis, how he viewed the riots, how he said it was exciting, how he said it was a moment of optimism, how his wife said she liked the smell of burning tires. What the hell does that mean? So, sorry. You know what? Just because he's an old, bald white guy, that doesn't offer any comfort to me.

John Wayne Gacy! You know, pick him as a babysitter because he doesn't look like a hippie. That's the logic you're using.
