Riley Gaines and Kat Timpf pushed back against podcaster Alex Cooper's advice on leaving a marriage this week, responding to the "Call Her Daddy" host's assertion that women can always find better partners.

Speaking on Fox News' "The Girls" podcast, Gaines and Timpf argued that women should focus on investing in their marriages rather than assuming they can find better partners elsewhere.

"To kind of combat the narrative that's out there that we just heard from Alex Cooper, 'seek more, seek better, it's the patriarchy,' which is of course just intentionally using buzzwords," Gaines said.

"The grass is not always greener on the other side. I have found, at least in my marriage, it's greener where you water it. Pouring into your husband, allowing him to pour into you, that's where I've seen growth," she added.

The "Call Her Daddy" episode was released earlier this month and featured Cooper and actress Sophia Bush, whose 2023 divorce from entrepreneur Grant Hughes made headlines. The two discussed women who hesitate to leave a marriage out of fear that they cannot find a better partner, a concern both Cooper and Bush dismissed.

"That's such a beautiful message to leave women with because I do think we can get really, really in our heads about, 'Oh my God, I feel like I'm, maybe I shouldn't leave this marriage because can I even get better?'" Cooper said. "And the answer is always yes."

Bush agreed, saying, "And this idea that it's too late or you're too old or who are you to want more? That's patriarchy. That is crazy. We don't need it."

Timpf challenged Cooper's advice, pointing to her husband's support during some of the most difficult experiences of her life.

"I also couldn't disagree more with what she said because, first of all, she said you can always do better than your husband. That's not true," Timpf said.

"I know that I can't do better than my husband because I mean, he's hot and all that. But also just, I mean I can't do better than the guy that held my hand through cancer, through childbirth, then my father's funeral," she added.

Timpf said some people find it controversial when she says her marriage is the most important thing in her life.

"There's nothing more important in my life than my marriage," Timpf said. "And people say, 'But what about your kids?' It's like, 'Okay, but it's for my kids that I have that opinion.' Because if you do not make time as a couple and see each other as a couple and keep that going, then that's not good for the family either."

Rep. Tom Kean Jr., R-N.J., is responding to questions about missed congressional votes after a monthslong hospitalization for depression, saying he is "stronger than ever" as he seeks re-election in New Jersey's competitive 7th District.

Speaking on "The Fox News Rundown" podcast, Kean discussed his hospital stay earlier this year, explaining that his absence from Congress was due to a medical emergency.

"Nobody can schedule a medical emergency, and we were able to discuss and tell people while I was in the hospital that we [had] a medical situation in the family with me," he told Fox News’ Mike Emanuel.

"I also spoke on the House floor when I returned that I'd been in the hospital for depression because I want to get rid of the stigma associated with any mental health condition."

In June, Kean returned to the House and disclosed that he had been diagnosed with depression after spending months in the hospital receiving treatment.

Kean had been absent from Congress since early March, missing more than 100 votes before publicly disclosing his diagnosis. 

The extended absence drew calls for transparency from lawmakers in both parties and became a focal point for his Democratic challenger, former Navy helicopter pilot Rebecca Bennett, in the competitive district.

Emanuel asked Kean whether his absence had affected his standing with voters.

"As I said, I'm feeling stronger than ever. And I tell them the same issue that I just talked to you about. The fact that I had to treat my own mental health, I had to take that seriously," Kean said.

"I was in the hospital for those months that I was away. I spoke on the House floor that I had depression, and now we need to get rid of any stigma associated with mental health treatment."

Kean also pointed to his legislative record, highlighting his work on bipartisan legislation in New Jersey that sought to require health insurers to provide equal coverage for mental and physical health treatment. He said he continues to pursue similar efforts in Washington.
