GREG KELLY (HOST): I bring this up because Kamala had a birthday yesterday. She is now 60 years old. Kamala Harris, 60 years old. Happy birthday. Whatever. But let's face it, she is not exactly a baby, right? This is no spring chicken. That's OK. We're all going to get older hopefully, right? But when she runs around saying stuff like this, mathematically, it's not true.

...

KELLY: Yeah, sorry. You're a senior citizen now, 60 years old. She's not that young anymore. She's older than the average president. I think the average president is 54. Donald Trump, 78. If we can see — that's not a significant age gap. It really isn't. Sixties, seventies — they try to make this such a big deal. And Donald Trump is not aging. There's something really amazing going on there.

If you want to talk new generation, that's JD Vance. All right. He's 40. He's 20 years younger than you, Kamala. This is genuinely a voice of a new generation. Although I think there's too much ageism, quite frankly. It doesn't really matter how old you are. It's the quality of the ideas, the experience, your integrity, that kind of thing. All right. It's just one other exaggeration slash lie told by Kamala and her friends.
