With Fox’s Greg Gutfeld dominating late-night ratings for the network, the host has consistently used his humor to rip into legacy media and the Democratic Party’s attempts to win back voters since their losses in 2024.
Since President Donald Trump’s return to the White House in January, corporate media and Democrats have repeatedly pushed back against the administration’s efforts, despite the president winning both the popular vote and the Electoral College. Calling out corporate media’s apparent bias and the Democratic Party’s attempts to regain voters ahead of the midterms, Gutfeld has torched those efforts on his late-night show.

1. The Washington Post’s ‘Journalistic Stroke Job’
In June, The Post ran a piece titled “These centrist women in a group chat are leading Democrats in 2025,” naming Virginia gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger, New Jersey Rep. Mikie Sherrill and Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin as the party’s “moderate” leaders.
During his show, Gutfeld ripped into the “fluff bomb” article, highlighting the irony of Democrats celebrating women while simultaneously pushing biological males who identify as trans into the group.
“This week, the Washington Post ran a fluff bomb celebrating centrist Democrat women going gaga over their resumes, mom energy, and group chat chemistry. But in this journalistic stroke job, not a single policy position was mentioned, which is weird,” Gutfeld said. “That’s like doing a profile on me and not mentioning my many bodybuilding awards … So why is that? Why’d they bend so far backward to avoid a basic stance? Maybe because in the current state of their party, it’s better just to keep your head down and to stay safe.”
WATCH:
“They substitute substance with nicknames, the Mod Squad or the Badass Caucus. But it’s fake empowerment meant to disguise a lack of bravery. But what are they scared of? What’s the dog not barking? The key question to detect a centrist is, do males belong in women’s sports? Of course, we all know the answer to that. It’s yes. Someone has to show them how to hold a bat,” Gutfeld added. “But the Democrat Party is different. It’s a collection of appeasement signals where one group must submit to the other … It’s why the loudest members of the party are usually white women. It’s an appeasement signal. They wish to pass inspection by dramatically applauding extremes to avoid being targeted for their whiteness.”
The battle over protecting women’s sports has caused sharp divisions, with Republicans calling to remove biological males from competing while Democrats rally behind their inclusion despite numerous reports of the dangers it poses to women.
According to a Harvard CAPS Harris Poll conducted in February, 69% of Americans surveyed said they support “banning men who have undergone operations and hormones to become women from girls’ sports.” Of the majority of support, 50% were Democrats, 86% were Republicans and 70% were either independents or other, according to the data.
2. Mamdani’s High School Transcripts and JB Pritzker’s ‘Bra’
Despite emphasizing his Muslim background during his campaign, socialist Democrat NYC mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani marked himself as both “Asian” and “African American” on his Columbia University application in 2009, according to The New York Times.
Despite ultimately not being admitted to Columbia University, Gutfeld called out how the mayoral nominee appeared to benefit from the Ivy League’s push to incorporate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, which has offered advantages for diverse applicants.
“But it raises the often-ignored question. How can you claim to be oppressed when you know the claim gets preferential treatment? I mean, why would anyone voluntarily choose an identity that supposedly holds you back unless you knew it could actually move you forward? So he saw the grift using a false disadvantage to actually get ahead. He was lying to get what he wanted. Like when I used to tell women that I love them,” Gutfeld added. “He wasn’t confused. He was calculating. Mamdani knew that applying while black could be a ticket past the velvet rope of Ivy League admissions. And that was in 2009.”
WATCH:
“But being of Indian heritage isn’t a resume builder when you’re auditioning for the Oppression Olympics. So he pulls a [Fox’s Brian] Kilmeade, faking a limp so he can board first on Delta,” Gutfeld said. “But you notice it’s always the lefties who pull this kind of shit. Their thinking is, we created this game, might as well take advantage of it. So he dumped his past and he picked the one that carries social capital. Still, he didn’t get in, which means his transcript had so many Ds in it, it looked like [Illinois] Governor [JB] Pritzker’s bra.”
In response to the transcripts, Mamdani told the NYT that he did not consider himself “Black or African American” but rather “an American who was born in Africa.” Acknowledging that he did check off the boxes, the socialist Democrat told the outlet he wrote in “Ugandan,” as the application allowed applicants to provide “more specific information where relevant.”
3. Democrats Nosedive On American Pride
In June, a Gallup poll found that only 36% of Democrats were “extremely” or “very” proud to be American, a drop of roughly 26 points from the year prior. On his late night show, Gutfeld noted how Democrats’ pride appeared to depend on who is in office, as the poll was conducted after Trump returned to the White House.
“For a new poll, Democrats have lost pride in the United States, although I’m not sure how you lose something you never had. That’s like a poll revealing that Joy Behar lost her sex appeal. But apparently just 36% of Dems are extremely or very proud to be a Yank. That’s down from 62% a year ago, back when the president had a body temp of a crisp 62 degrees. But when Trump won, their national pride nosedived like a pilot listening to Kilmeade’s audiobook. Now they’re feeling about as proud as a dad whose son was just named prom queen,” Gutfeld said.
WATCH:
According to the poll, Democrats’ national pride rose from 42% in 2020 to 62% after Joe Biden took office the following year. Republican patriotism, however, remained in the 80–90% range during Biden’s presidency and climbed to 92% after Trump returned to office.
“But the right has a much different view of our red, white, and blue, and it’s the flag the left considers a hate crime, especially if it blocks their queers for Palestine banner … It’s something we got to deal with to be sure, but it’s not our identity,” Gutfeld said.
“But when politics doesn’t tilt in the left’s favor, it ruins their lives because it’s who they are. So it’s no wonder the second Trump does something great, they lose their shit faster than a knocked over porta potty. Oh, they love separating people by race, size, class, education, yet they can’t separate politics from their daily lives. Without politics, they’d lose their personal identity quicker than Barbra Streisand after a nose job,” Gutfeld said.
4. ‘Fat Dexter’ Eric Swalwell
After being sent home for summer recess, California Rep. Eric Swalwell posted a video of himself bench pressing an estimated 135 pounds, claiming Republicans sent members home over the Epstein files chaos. The clip was mocked online, with Gutfeld noting he had ridiculed it before, prompting Swalwell to challenge him to a “bench press contest.”
“But because we ragged the video, the poor sap, aka Fat Dexter, has challenged me to a bench press contest. And the loser, he says, has to quit their job. Yes, Swalwell, the only man to ever be outlifted in the Capitol Gym by the groundhog on Maxine Waters’ head, says he wants to meet me in the weight room. Now, perhaps it’s all a plan to get me in the gym sauna by himself. But Swalwell also claimed that he had never heard of me,” Gutfeld said. “Right, nice try, Eric. Everyone knows me. I’m so famous, you can’t go to a Cambodian prison without hearing my name.”
WATCH:
“So Eric, if you really want anyone to take you seriously, you might try truth instead of being so damn thirsty. It’s why you got honey potted by a Chinese spy. She looked at you and thought, ‘Hmm, a socially inept dork who hasn’t got his weenie wet since a field trip to the water slide in seventh grade. I got this one,'” Gutfeld added. “I mean, what else could she see in a guy who looks like he buys boner pills from the New Zealand dark web? Maybe it’s because you once rode a camel shirtless. Wow, I’m looking at that picture and wondering which hairy beast retains more water.”
In 2023, Swalwell was removed from the House Intelligence Committee by former Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy over his interactions with alleged spy Christine Fang.
Fang had been a volunteer on Swalwell’s 2014 House campaign, reportedly participating in fundraisers for him and placing an intern on his staff. The FBI briefed him on Fang’s Chinese government ties. Republicans have long insinuated that Swalwell had a sexual relationship with her, though the Democrat lawmaker has declined to speak on the claims.
5. Gutfeld Lifts Ratings For Others
According to Nielsen Media Research, Gutfeld’s first appearance in August on NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” brought in the show’s largest audience of 2025, attracting 1.7 million viewers. During his appearance on Fallon, the Fox host recalled a time when Fallon wrestled him inside a bar.
“I walk into this bar, and I’m with my friend Andy. We just got off shooting something, and I look around and go ‘What the hell have I got into?’ And then I see you, and you look at me and you have your eyes kind of explode. And then you run towards me, and you tackle me like a giant golden retriever. You’re on top of me, and so we’re wrestling, and then you change, and you start wrestling my buddy Andy,” Gutfeld said.

According to the data, the NBC late night episode with Gutfeld increased viewership by double digits, averaging 1.7 million viewers — up an estimated 57% — and attracted 294,000 viewers aged 25-54, a 13% increase from the 2025 average.
