“I Was So Wrong About This Man!” – ‘Gutfeld!’ Star Tyrus STUNS Fans by Apologizing to Trump On-Air, Reveals Emotional Moment With His 10-Year-Old Daughter That Changed Everything

In a jaw-dropping on-air confession that has conservatives cheering and liberals scrambling, Fox News’ Gutfeld! regular Tyrus — real name George Murdoch — began his latest interview with former President Donald Trump not with a hardball question, but with something far more shocking: a heartfelt apology.

“I owe you an apology before we start,” Tyrus told Trump on his Maintaining with Tyrus podcast.

“I’ve been very critical about how you fight.

But I never really understood why you fight — and that’s on me.”

What followed was a deeply personal moment that has since gone viral among Trump supporters, as Tyrus shared the emotional turning point that made him see the 45th President of the United States in a completely new light.

A Candid Confession—and a Touching Family Moment

Tyrus, a former pro-wrestler and National Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Champion, admitted that despite voting for Trump in the past, he had never truly grasped what the former president stood for—until they shared a moment behind the scenes of Fox News’ hit late-night show Gutfeld!.

After taping the episode, the cameras were off, the lights dimmed, and Trump did something Tyrus said he never expected from a public figure of his stature.

“You met my family,” Tyrus recalled.

“You talked to my daughter—she’s 10 years old.

Her name is Georgie.

You talked to her for 20 minutes.

You weren’t phoning it in.

You weren’t doing a photo op.

You were genuinely interested.”

Tyrus described the interaction as nothing short of grandfatherly.

“You could’ve been her grandfather.

You talked about her horses, her dreams… I sat there stunned.

I realized I had completely misjudged you.”

“You’re a Family Man. You Fight for Something. ”

Trump, clearly touched, responded, “I am.

I’m a father.

And your daughter is gorgeous.

Your wife, the whole thing—you’ve got some set-up, I’ll tell you.”

The two bonded over family values, resilience, and what it means to be misunderstood by the media.

Trump praised Tyrus for his intellect and on-screen charisma, reminding him that the episode they filmed together shattered records.

“We had the highest-rated episode of Gutfeld! ever,” Trump boasted.

“Of all time,” Tyrus agreed.

“We beat network television.

It was a landslide.

Thirty-five million homes.”

Backlash or Breakthrough?

The candid apology and Trump’s warm response are already sending shockwaves through political and media circles.

While MAGA-world is praising Tyrus for “seeing the light,” critics have slammed the moment as a calculated PR move.

But if it was staged, no one told Tyrus’ 10-year-old daughter.

“She came home glowing,” Tyrus said.

“She told me, ‘Daddy, Mr.

Trump said I should follow my dreams.’

That’s not fake.

That’s who he is when the cameras aren’t rolling.”

Trump, Unfiltered—And Unapologetic

As the conversation turned to the media, Trump didn’t hold back, slamming “fake news” for spreading what he calls “deliberate lies” about his character.

“People don’t get it,” Trump said.

“They see the headlines.

They don’t see what’s behind the fight.”

Tyrus nodded.

“Now I do.”

A Viral Moment That Could Change Minds

The emotional, unscripted moment between Trump and Tyrus has already lit up conservative social media, with the Trump War Room Twitter account sharing the clip alongside the caption:

“You were talking about her horses and dreams.

I was sitting there and I was like ‘I have been so wrong…’”

It’s more than just a touching story.

For Trump, it’s a rare look behind the bravado—and for millions of Americans, maybe even a turning point in how they see him.
