JD Vance shuts down the ladies of ‘The View’ with simple facts

JD Vance proved once again that unlike the left, the right is not afraid to step into the lion’s den when he sat down with the panel of "The View" — who of course took the opportunity to claim President Trump was in cahoots with Jeffrey Epstein.

“They were best friends for about a decade,” host Ana Navarro claimed.

“And remember he signed that Transparency Act under duress when some Republican women, congresswomen like Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, did not give in to his pressure of not signing. He brought Lauren Boebert into the Situation Room to pressure her into caving on not voting for that bill,” she continued.

“Let me respond to that,” Vance replied. “So number one is yes, Donald Trump — he said this — he knew Jeffrey Epstein back in the 1980s. He also threw Jeffrey Epstein out of his club when he found out he was a creep and reported him to the police.”

“That’s something that the media often misses when it reports the story. They tell the fact that they knew each other in the '80s, which the president himself admits. They ignore the fact that he narced on him to the police and led ultimately to Jeffrey Epstein’s downfall," he calmly explained.

“It all tracks if you’re paying attention,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

“‘They were best friends for a time period,’” she mocks, before pulling up a photo of Epstein and Bill Clinton posing together.

“They look thick as thieves here. Oh, oops. That’s the wrong best friend,” she jokes.

“They always forget that relationship,” she adds.

Gonzales also points out that Whoopi Goldberg was silent throughout the exchange.

“Whoopi didn’t have anything to say there, I guess, because remember she was in the Epstein files. She wanted to borrow Jeffrey Epstein’s jet for personal reasons. She needed a plane to get to Monaco,” Gonzales says.

However, while Whoopi was silent, Ana Navarro wasn’t giving up.

“Let’s just be truthful and transparent here,” she argued. “They didn’t just know each other; they were incredibly close friends.”

“He reported him to the police,” Vance responded. “That’s what I’m saying. That is objectively true.”

“‘They didn’t just know each other,’” Gonzales mocks again, joking that they were “to the level” where Trump could ask Epstein to “borrow his private plane.”

“Oh, wait. That’s your co-host sitting next to you,” she adds.

Bill Gates 'voluntarily' explains his Epstein ties to Congress

Bill Gates knew Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted sex offender. He met with him anyway — for years. On Wednesday, he had to explain that to Congress.

The 70-year-old Microsoft co-founder appeared before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee for a closed-door, transcribed interview. The session lasted nearly six hours.

'I guess if you're a big deal, you can do more than the rest of us.'

On his way in, Gates told reporters he was "glad to be here voluntarily." He retained Jake Greenberg, who until December was the Oversight Committee's chief investigations counsel. Mid-session, Greenberg reportedly said Gates would not answer questions about his affairs unless directly tied to Epstein.

The paper trail complicates the "voluntary" part.

In February, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) formally asked Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) to subpoena Gates and compel him to testify under oath.

Comer sent Gates a formal written request in March stating the committee believed he had "information that will assist in its investigation." Before the session on Wednesday, Comer told reporter s, "No one's accusing Bill Gates of any wrongdoing."

In his prepared opening statement, Gates expressed regret but denied having extensive knowledge about Epstein's criminal behavior.

"I recall being aware that Epstein had faced prior legal issues, but I did not fully understand the extent of the crimes he committed,” he admitted. “I accepted the introduction without applying the scrutiny I should have."

He also denied ever visiting Epstein's island, ranch, or Florida home.

Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting prostitution from a minor and served jail time as a registered sex offender. Gates claimed he began meeting with Epstein in 2011 over a pitch to unlock billions in global health donations.

By December 2014, Gates said he had cut off contact, concluding Epstein "would never deliver on his promises."

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) said she directly asked Gates why he continued to associate with a registered sex offender. Gates told her that "getting billions of dollars for global health was worth it,” she said.

After Gates allegedly cut ties in 2014, a departing employee engaged Epstein to negotiate the "separation" — Epstein, Gates claimed, used that channel to learn of his infidelities and pressure him to re-engage.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) called the questioning "intense" but said Gates was "well coached" and that he didn't expect much new information to surface.

Burchett also broke with GOP leadership over the closed-door format: "I'm big about transparency. ... Let it be wide open." He added, "I guess if you're a big deal, you can do more than the rest of us."

Gates closed his opening statement to Congress with a conditional apology: "If the time I spent with Epstein lent him any credibility, I am deeply sorry."

He left without answering a single question from reporters.

Democrats have repeatedly called for Trump to testify — a push Republicans have so far blocked. But the White House may not be able to stay out of it much longer.

Per Stansbury, Republicans have agreed to call acting Attorney General Todd Blanche — Trump's former lawyer — to testify about White House Epstein strategy sessions.

Comer also announced plans for a transcribed interview with Alan Dershowitz, who negotiated Epstein's 2008 plea deal.

A full transcript is expected in the coming days.

‘A man has as many masters as he has vices’: How moral decay fuels political control

Augustine of Hippo is one of the most influential philosophers and Christian theologians in history, and he had a stark warning for the Western world: "A man has as many masters as he has vices."

And Seth Gruber, CEO of White Rose Resistance, is relaying this warning, explaining that it means “by promoting vice, the regime promotes slavery, which can then be fashioned into a form of political control.”

“That sentence I just said Allie Beth is the beating heart of libido dominandi: the lust to dominate,” he tells BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey on “Relatable.”

“Dominion becomes domination when man listens to and accepts the serpent’s counterfeit kingdom. And the things that we were called to steward ... become the very things we are now enslaved to,” he says.

“Domination is a reflection of your own slavery projected onto others. But dominion is a reflection of your own stewardship exercised on behalf of others. So one is the city of man, and one is the city of God,” he continues. “But in each case, it reveals who or what we really worship.”

"Vice," Gruber explains, "is contagious.”

And like anything contagious, it’s easily spread.

“Tyrants work very hard to spread the infection,” he explains, “because they know that a virtuous populace cannot be controlled. So they have to corrupt, seduce, blackmail. They have to weaponize lust.”

Gruber likens this to Jeffrey Epstein, because if “you cannot defeat militarily, you can always corrupt through sexual enticement.”

“Maybe that’s why the Epstein list will never get released,” he adds.

Stuckey agrees, adding, "What a fascinating, very disturbing connection ... Epstein, you can just see it."

'You called a guy a Nazi for years; then you elected one': Stu and Dave react to Platner victory

Despite multiple controversies coming to light over the past few months, Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner has secured the Democratic nomination in his state — winning a whopping 72% of the vote and defeating state governor Janet Mills.

Among those controversies was an account on an app known for sexual predators; a Nazi tattoo; and abuse and cheating allegations from women he has dated.

But on election night, Platner spun the recent controversies to a crowd of supporters by harping on “love and redemption.”

“Love and redemption. Redemption is not just some simple or easy destination. It’s a journey. I’ve made mistakes in my life. Mistakes that I regret, that I live with. That I continue to learn from. I’m still far from perfect,” Platner said.

“Every day I wake up, and I try to be a little bit better and a little bit kinder than I was the day before. And if you give me the chance, I will be a senator for the people who cannot afford to buy a senator,” he added.

“You called a guy a Nazi for years; then you elected one,” BlazeTV host Dave Landau tells co-host Stu Burguiere on “Stu and Dave Do America.” “It’s just ironic.”

Stu agrees, pointing out that the left even called Charlie Kirk a Nazi.

“So let’s get a guy with a Nazi tattoo,” he says, before recalling an article written by the Free Press on Platner, which he says catches Platner in “another pathological lie.”

Despite uncovered text messages showing that Platner had a romantic relationship with one of his accusers, Platner claimed they didn’t even date.

“Obviously not a casual relationship,” Stu says, explaining that many of the various resurfaced text messages were from 2025 — which was "approximately six weeks before he launched his senatorial campaign.”

“The last message he sent was right before he launched his campaign. Could there be anything more transparent? … It’s like Jeffrey Epstein coming off of his first, you know, arrest, and saying, ‘Well, he’s saying he’s a better guy and there’s not much more going on,’” he continues.

“You don’t run that guy for office,” he says. “There’s something going on, and we’re going to learn more about it, I’m sure.”
