JD Vance had to do a double take after Joe Rogan revealed that one of his podcast guests tried to set up a meeting between him and Jeffrey Epstein in 2017. When Vance asked who it was, Rogan declined to say his name publicly. ROGAN: “I had one of my guests try to get me to meet him.” VANCE: “Really?” ROGAN: “Yeah.” VANCE: “When?” ROGAN: “2017.” VANCE: “See, that’s crazy to me! Because at that point he had already gone down for at least one like sex abuse thing.” ROGAN: “That was my position!” [Vance cracks up] “I’ll show you the emails. They’re kind of funny. I actually read them on stage.” VANCE: “Which guest?” [Rogan makes a face] “You don’t want to say? Okay, fine.” ROGAN: “People can find it. I don’t want the guy…the guy’s already ruined.”

This is one of the most important moments ever aired on CNBC. Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya says the media lied to millions of Americans about President Trump, and that after going back to the original source material, he realized he had been completely misled about Trump’s character. PALIHAPITIYA: “The reality is that most of us were lied to by the media about President Trump.” “And if you just go back to the source material, you should take away two things.” “One, he didn’t say half the things he said, and two, why did these other people just fabricate what they wanted to say so that they could essentially assassinate his character?” “I think that that second thing is completely unacceptable in America, and there’s still been no repercussions, really.” “I took the time to learn about it. I admitted where…you know, the way that I met him was, I admitted on the pod, which, you know, has millions of viewers.” “And I said, I got it totally wrong because I went and I watched Charlottesville.” “And, you know, the first person to call me? President Trump.” “And I got to know him and I put the phone down, I called my wife, and I said, we got it TOTALLY, totally wrong. We were lied to.” “And then I got to know him and he is fantastic!” Chamath Palihapitiya

Victor Davis Hanson was blown away by the fact that the actress playing Helen of Troy in Christopher Nolan’s new film had never actually read The Odyssey. What confused him even more was that she began criticizing Homer’s epic for not having enough “feminist” characters, despite never having read it. HANSON: “Lupita Nyong’o, she said something, I couldn’t quite believe that…she got her master’s in theater arts at Yale, and she said she had never read The Odyssey before.” “And she’s 42…and I thought, well, how is that possible?” “Her undergraduate institution…was excellent. She went to Yale, but she’s never…” “I taught 21 years at Cal State Fresno, Humanities 10, Introduction to Western Humanities. We started with Homer, so I would either have The Iliad, but mostly I taught The Odyssey…” “So I had 2,000 students at Cal State University taking that class, and most of them were from families below the median income…” “My point is, they were not from old families and they weren’t at a privileged institution, and yet they had experience with The Odyssey…” “So when I hear this actress and she says that she has never read it before, well, that’s okay.” “But then she starts opining on what’s wrong with it, and she says that it doesn’t have enough ‘feminist’ characters.”

President Trump’s final 30 seconds of his address may have been the most important moment of the night.

President Trump ended his interview with Jake Tapper by saying he wants to see CNN return to a “normal path.” Tapper didn’t like the remark one bit. TAPPER: “Well, I know you don’t want to talk about any other issues out of respect for Lindsey Graham, but we would love to have you back sometime because I do have a lot of other questions for you, sir.” TRUMP: “Sure, we’ll do that.” TAPPER: “Thank you for calling in.” TRUMP: “We’re trying to have CNN go in a normal path, and we’ll do that.” TAPPER: “Well…I’m on a normal path right here, sir. And I appreciate your time and thank you for calling in.” TRUMP: “Good. You are.” “Okay, thanks a lot.”

Investigative journalist Catherine Herridge says newly released documents appear to corroborate claims that intelligence officials purposely withheld information about China’s election influence operations. Herridge said one November 2020 email she reviewed referenced officials having “deliberately massaged” a presidential briefing to avoid direct links to the election. HERRIDGE: “Well, I think it’s a very significant announcement. Not only what he said, but the fact that they are releasing these documents so that we can really fact check the claims we heard this evening.” “I’ve been digging into the documents already and I found November 2020 email and it specifically states…it’s a conversation among intelligence officials…it specifically states that they have, ‘deliberately massaged’ one of our pending pdbs...” “That’s the president’s daily brief, to avoid any direct links to the election.” “And that is consistent with my reporting.” “I understand the whistleblower complaint alleged, I think we’re now seeing the emails, that there was an intentional effort to suppress intelligence about China’s influence operations.” “And this was, Katie, like a massive effort. What they call a multi domain operation. That means trade, it means diplomacy, it means open source information, it means social media.” “So all the levers of power, China had to influence U.S. election.” Catherine Herridge Katie Pavlich

Joe Rogan just took time out of his podcast to express genuine concern for his friend Theo Von. He admitted that some of Von’s recent behavior after getting on SSRIs “freaks me out” — especially his comments about suicide. ROGAN: “Theo Von’s going through the exact same thing and last time he was on the podcast he was explaining it to me.” “It freaks me out because I know Theo has had conversations before...like even publicly.” “He had a Netflix taping and it didn’t go well. It was like they actually never...they shelved it. They never used it.” “And you know there was all these stories from people that were there saying he bombed. I think he just had a kind of a breakdown.” “And when he was talking to the crowd and there’s a video of it, he said, you know, the people were saying, hey, we still love you.” “He goes, thank you. Look, I’m just I’m trying not to take my own life.” “And like you hear stuff like that and you just go like, oh, Jesus Christ.” “I’ve known too many people that I didn’t think were going to kill themselves and then did.” “And then he goes down these spirals where he starts talking about world events and freaking out. I’m like, oh, Jesus Christ! Like, I got to help this dude.”

Democrat Senator Jon Ossoff thought he had set the perfect trap for President Trump’s DNI nominee Jay Clayton. The only problem was that Clayton saw the political theater coming from a mile away and he refused to take the bait. As the exchange dragged on, Ossoff began to unravel. OSSOFF: “Who won the 2020 election?” CLAYTON: “You know, I’m not I’m not going to do this with you.” OSSOFF: “This is a job interview. We have established that you have an obligation to be honest and forthright with the committee.” “Yes, you do have an obligation to be honest and forthright with the committee?” CLAYTON: “Yes.” OSSOFF: “Who won the 2020 election?” CLAYTON: “Like I said, I’m not I’m not going to get into that with you.” OSSOFF: “But you do have an obligation to be honest and forthright with the committee.” CLAYTON: “Is anything that I just said not honest or forthright?” OSSOFF: “Yes. You’re not being honest and forthright. Who won the 2020 election?” CLAYTON: “I think I’ve answered the question.” “We can keep doing this!” OSSOFF: “Well, we’re going to keep doing it because you’re not being honest and forthright with the committee.” CLAYTON: “No, I’m not going to engage in the theater.”

“It’s espionage.” Catherine Herridge reveals a terrifying possibility: China may have the ability to build a digital dossier on MILLIONS of Americans. Herridge warns that China’s collection of data goes far beyond voter rolls...and the scariest part is what that information could be used for. HERRIDGE: “China is one of the biggest collectors of data on the planet.” “So if you take that 220 million voter rolls and you combine it with something called the SF-86, those are the security clearance applications that were compromised back in 2015, 22 million files.” “And then you combine it with all the health information that’s been hacked…” “You can really build this kind of digital composite of an individual and you can use that for, you know, voter registration fraud, you can use that for identity theft.” “And significantly, you can also use it to recruit American citizens to your efforts.” “So it’s not just about the collection of the data around the vote…” PAVLICH: “It’s espionage.” HERRIDGE: “Exactly.” Katie Pavlich Catherine Herridge

JUST IN: President Trump calls into CNN to share his first public remarks on the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham. Trump revealed that he had spoken with Graham just moments before his death and said there were no signs that anything was wrong. TAPPER: “What are your thoughts about Lindsey Graham this morning?” TRUMP: “Well, it’s devastating. I thought he was fine. He called me last night.” “He just got back from Ukraine and he had a great trip. He was telling me about the trip. He was pushing very, very hard—you probably know—he wanted to do the SAVE America Act. He was talking about that.” “He was full of vim and vigor. He was tired. He said, ‘I’m tired because it’s a long trip.’ But other than that, he was fine.” “And he called me, I guess, just moments before because he called me like at 6:30 or something. And the medical people got there a little bit later, right after that.” “What a terrible loss it is. He’s a great politician. He was a natural. There are very few of them...he was a natural politician.”

Senator John Kennedy spends nearly two minutes dismantling former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot after she urged the Senate NOT to confirm Todd Blanche as Attorney General. The exchange peaked when Kennedy asked Blanche whether he would put Lightfoot “in charge of a ham sandwich.” KENNEDY: “Now, Mayor Lori Lightfoot sent us, she sent the world, a letter, uh, suggesting that we should not confirm you as Attorney General.” “Who is Mayor Lori Lightfoot? Just for the record.” BLANCHE: “So she’s the former mayor of Chicago. Um, I believe she had a brief stint in the Department of Justice prior to her political life.” KENNEDY: “Right. And you had some conflicts with her?” BLANCHE: “I do not believe she supports our administration’s efforts making America safe again.” KENNEDY: “Okay, right. She thinks cops are a bigger problem than criminals. Would that be a fair assessment?” BLANCHE: “She definitely…her public rhetoric is not something that either myself or this administration supports, which is to always back our law enforcement.” KENNEDY: “She thinks if a cop shoots a criminal, it’s automatically the cop’s fault. But if a criminal shoots a cop, it’s automatically the gun’s fault.” “Would that be a fair assessment of the mayor’s position?” BLANCHE: “Her public statements suggest that.” KENNEDY: “Would you put her even in charge of a ham sandwich?” [Senate chuckles] BLANCHE: “I don’t believe she should be any part of this administration.” KENNEDY: “Well, the people of Chicago apparently agree. I think she, uh, she ran for reelection and got 16% of the vote. Is that right? Do you recall?” BLANCHE: “I’m not sure what percentage she got, Senator.”

Abby Phillip started unraveling on air after Scott Jennings pointed out one glaring inconsistency in the media’s reaction to President Trump’s upcoming address. Phillip was melting down over the 2020 election, but all Jennings had to do to send her into a tailspin was remind her that Democrats spent YEARS pushing the foreign interference narrative. PHILLIP: “What evidence is he going to present about the election that he lost in 2020?” JENNINGS: “I’m with Joe, I think it’s not good to prejudge a speech that hasn’t been made yet.” “But there has been speculation that investigators have found that there may have been foreign interference or attempts at foreign interference in 2020.” “Now, it wasn’t that many years ago, as Joe pointed out, that we were ALL aflutter about foreign interference in our election.” “If he has allegations and evidence, don’t you want to know it?!” “Aren’t you curious as a journalist?!”

PRESIDENT TRUMP: “You know, a great stat that I love — 91% of the crime in cities is caused by 2% of the people.” “I love that because you could handle that. You can get rid of the 2%.” “If it was caused by 91%, you got a problem.” “But 91% of the crime in Washington, D.C., as an example, was caused by 2.1% of the population.” “These are career, many career criminals, sick people, mental problems.” “But 2.1% in the cases Washington and we removed from Washington, D.C. 4,212 people. Permanently removed. Many of them were brought back to their countries. Some were put in jail. Many of them were wanted.” “We had murderers.” “So we’ve taken Washington, D.C. crime, we brought it down 91%.” “And it’s considered now one of the safest cities.”

CUOMO: “Bob’s your uncle. What your question?” BOB: “Yeah, I’m curious. You constantly talk about how you put guests on from both sides of the aisle.” “But yes, bias is off the Richter scale on this channel against Trump. Are you going to say anything nice about this guy?” CUOMO: “I like the Trump Accounts...” [Long awkward silence] BOB: “Ukraine is doing better under Trump or Biden? Do you think behind the scenes he may be doing something that we’re not hearing about?” CUOMO: “That we’re not hearing about? I doubt it. It’s possible. But you people said the same thing about Iran. How’s that working out?” “He has been an unmitigated thorn in the side of Zelensky. He kept him from getting funding needed. He kept him from getting the weapons he needed. He played as if Putin was the better guy of the two, greatly hurt Zelensky’s credibility at that time. Embarrassed him at the White House.” “So look, and let me give you a little introduction of politics, Bob, not to condescend, but I’m not here to pat people on the back. Okay?” “I’m here to test power. That’s the job!” “We’ll be right back.” [Cuts to commercial]

Catherine Herridge says a whistleblower was sounding the alarm about China’s influence operations in the summer of 2020 — but “suddenly it all was suppressed” instead of being elevated. HERRIDGE: “So in the summer of 2020, as we’re heading into the election, in the intelligence community, there were indicators of this Chinese influence operation.” “Influence operations means that you’re trying to affect the outcome of how people vote or their sentiment about a presidential candidate.” “It’s different than an interference operation, which is penetrating voting rolls and voter systems.” “And this whistleblower was raising the alarm about the influence operation and then suddenly it all was suppressed.” “My understanding is that some of their reports, there were in officials on hand writing that they wanted everything out could help President Trump in his re-election.” “So there clear evidence of political and personal bias, and intelligence is supposed to be neutral.” “So what we heard tonight from the president is an allegation that this intelligence was suppressed in order harm him. And now we’re seeing documents already which back those claims.”

This may go down as one of the most awkward appearances in The View’s history. It just kept getting worse throughout the entire three minute exhcange. Sunny Hostin confronted Marjorie Taylor Greene over a deleted X post in which she claimed Greene suggested Graham Platner’s accuser was using “rape for politics.” Greene immediately tried to walk it back. Hostin had the receipts. HOSTIN: “Let me ask you this, because yesterday on X, in a now deleted post you accused Platner’s accuser of doing, ‘rape for politics’, stating she had consensual sex with him years ago.” GREENE: “No, I didn’t accuse. I…I said…I said women should report rape.” “Because you want to know why? We want to get these rapists off the street.” HOSTIN: “Early on in the tweet, and I’ll tell you, I’m a former sex crimes prosecutor…” GREENE: “Yeah but you’re misquoting me. I wish you’d put my, if you put my deleted tweet up.” HOSTIN: “We have it!” GREENE: “Put it up!” “But I just want to make sure my words aren’t twisted around.” HOSTIN: “Can someone bring my phone out to me?” “Well what I recall, because I do have the post. But it has now been deleted.” “You did say that women should report early, and I will tell you as a former sex crimes prosecutor, women…it is the most underreported crime in our country because women are not believed.” “You also wrote that she had had consensual sex with him years ago. The fact someone dates people or has had consensual sex with them previously does not mean that they cannot be raped…” GREENE: “Sunny, you and I are in agreement here.” HOSTIN: “Well, we’re not.” “Because I want to know why you would post that and accuse her of rape for politics?” GREENE: “Well, I would like to know why you wouldn’t put up my actual post?” HOSTIN: “We’re gonna do it. Here we go!” GREENE: “Because I wasn’t accusing her…” HOSTIN: “Your exact quote was, if you are raped or sexually assaulted report it immediately. Don’t wait for years later until the man runs for office to go to news outlets to tell your story.” “And if you had consensual sex with him years ago, don’t turn it into rape for politics with conflicting stories.” Absolute train wreck.

Senator John Kennedy somehow managed to squeeze two BRUTAL but hilarious one-liners into a short answer about the Graham Platner controversy. The line that stole the show involved having “an IQ above a toaster”…before taking a direct shot at Senator Schumer. KENNEDY: “With respect to Mr. Platner, he was nominated by the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party, which is in control.” “With respect to the new allegations or revelations about him, I, of course, was completely shocked.” “Who could possibly have seen this coming? It’s not like there were signs or something.” “I’ll tell you who saw it coming. Every American who was paying attention, and who has an IQ above a toaster, knew that this guy’s motherboard was fried.” “Even my colleague, Senator Schumer, who can’t even cook a cheeseburger, saw this coming.” That was rough.

Goldberg immediately jumped in to make sure the victim’s character wasn’t misrepresented by Hostin. HOSTIN: “Austin Metcalf, the victim, the deceased, his father went on a podcast and listen to it for yourself but he called Karmelo Anthony a racial slur.” “And also said the reason that black people weren’t on the jury is because black people are unable to hold bias from the trial because they don’t know their own fathers, have a bunch of baby mommas running around, living off of government assistance.” GOLDBERG: “Well, let’s...let’s not say that that was the victim’s thinking as well.” HOSTIN: “I’m not saying it was thinking of the victim, but of the victim’s father.” GOLDBERG: “But...hmmmm. And we’ll let you sit with that, we’ll be right back.” [Cut to commercial]
