Trey ("I can lie in my sleep" Gowdy is saying: "I would tell our critics, Megyn, that The House Judiciary Committee investigating the Benghazi incident was completely impartial, no matter what they say. . . . And while it is true we found no 'stand-down order,' no mis- or malfeasance on part of anyone, and no hint of a cover-up of what wasn't there to cover up in the first place, . . . we still know that Secretary Clinton is hiding something. . . . How impartial can you get?"

Steve ("I left my heart at home. I don't miss it." Doocy is saying: "By picking the bison as our national mammal, Obama has again shown his affiliation with losers, the easily panicked and the rampaging insane, not to mention the cud-chewing herd. . . . A bison is no match for the Russian bear. . . . Not at all. . . Not for one second! . . . Why couldn't he have chosen something bigger and better like the saber-toothed tiger or Godzilla? . . .

Bill O'Reilly is saying: "It's actually quite simple: there's racism, and I think we all know what that means though it might be variously applied and seems to be increasingly used more as a political weapon than as an observation in fact; then there's reverse racism which is like spitting in the mirror going backwards turning as wagon-wheels where everything you say bounces back and sticks to you; then there's passive racism which is like falling asleep at the wheel in a strange city without a map or moral compass, then waking up the next morning with a kangaroo and a pair of pruning shears. . . . It should be obvious! . . . And that's the memo, now onto why Michelle Obama wants to join ISIS. . . . Can you imagine?"
