"It's the best job, because I'm a celebrity around all of it, but no one knows me. It's like winning the lottery," he said.

Regarding his use of the Fox corporate card, Hermes indicated: "You could take this [Fox credit card], walk into a strip club, literally, and spend $4,000. Go to your corporate manager and they will sign it and pay it off … 'Well that's what the client wanted.'"

When asked if the practice involved clients or hosts, he replied: "No, we would just do it ourselves and lie on the expense reports. No one asks a question … When I'm bringing in 90 million, no one's gonna f***ing say a word to me … It's still like that because it's media, it's nobody's money."

I used to work in a business where I was able to spend a fortune on the company credit card when I was young. I got fat by going to way too many indulgent lunches. I got drunk too many times too. LOL. It took a while after I left the job to get back into shape.

Also, he’s trying to impress a girl, by saying he hangs at strip clubs. FOX ok with this? We’ll see...

Yes!

I can attest that I have seen first and second hand that this happens in the corporate world. If your sales people are with customers/clients, at many places it will be expensed.

However, what you do NOT do is brag about it publicly.

He’s pretty good. But not Federal Employee good. Not even in the ballpark for Elected Federal Official.

But it is the same mind set.

That of a thief.

Steal from the fed, steal from the company, steal soda, it is all the same really.

And we are going to have to do something about it.

If you watch Gutfeld he never misses an opportunity to make some joke referencing strippers, porn, something about a private body part...it’s pretty obvious what he is into.

Well, after seeing these shows, not all the “talent” is really very bright. If you know what I mean.

He mocked MAGA, that will probably save his job. The low life Murdoch family hates America Trump and us in that order.
Lil Paulie Ryno will reassign this guy until the heat dies down.

Bad accounting department.

I never signed off on expense reports without all receipts and a full explanation of what it was for.

I knew a Ford executive who would occasionally take his employees and a couple friends to a bar for happy hour after work. He’d collect all the monies from the group then pay the bill with his credit card. Only it was the company credit card and he pocketed the cash.
