From the June 21 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
BILL O’REILLY (HOST): Now, I really didn't understand too much of that, Gutfeld, but I know you were locked in. It's like Garth and what's his other name?
GREG GUTFELD: You're talking about Wayne's World.
O’REILLY: Yeah.
GUTFELD: I do believe white privilege exists but so does black privilege, Asian privilege, Arab privilege. But the biggest privilege of all is hot privilege. That no matter what race you are, if you're hot, you always win. David Duke would give his left arm to sleep with Beyonce. The homely have no Gandhi, Bill. They have no Gandhi.
O’REILLY: Those guys made more sense than you just did.
GUTFELD: I do my best, Bill.
O’REILLY: You have any idea at what the message was from those guys?
BERNARD MCGUIRK: Of course, white privilege. They're saying that it doesn't exist. But I say it does.
O’REILLY: You do.
MCGUIRK: We have the Congressional White Caucus. We have the National Association for the Advancement of White People.
O’REILLY: No, we don't.
MCGUIRK: White Lives Matter. Just go down to Appalachia and ask any person how they're doing, they’ll tell you they’re doing just fine. Anybody at a trailer park in the South, or out on Long Island, they're doing wonderful. Listen Bill, if you wake up in the country, delay gratification, work hard, lose the chip on your shoulder, that's all it takes. In this country more than any other country in the history of civilization.
O’REILLY: Isn't it boring, this is a serious point, this white privilege and black lives matter. Isn't this boring? I hate to be a kumbaya guy, but it's just boring now.
MCGUIRK: You hit the lottery so big time when you're born in this country, no matter what class, what strata, if you work hard.
O’REILLY: Just because you're here, you get a shot. I know it's harder for people with bad fathers and fathers who leave.
