JESSICA TARLOV (CO-HOST): This is such old news, it's beyond comprehension that we're talking about it. And I understand that this Epstein situation is very tricky for the administration, and day by day it gets worse and worse and worse, but they are pulling out all of the greatest hits to try to inflame the minds of their most, you know, conspiracy theory-addled base, so that they hear "Brennan, Clapper, Obama, Hillary," and they get activated, and suddenly they won't be mad at Trump anymore for not releasing the Epstein files, or whatever he had to do with any of it. It's preposterous that we're talking about Hillary Clinton's emails again in the year 2025 --
GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): We have no choice. We spent years on this story --
TARLOV: You know what your choice is?
GUTFELD: No, let me -- we had to take this story seriously for years, and it was false.
TARLOV: It wasn't false.
GUTFELD: For -- no, no. For people to understand what happened, all right, because the problem with this story is that nobody knows what you're talking about. When Trump won in 2016, the intel community concluded that Russia didn't have a hand in his victory. Instead of accepting the inclusion, Obama determined and wanted a new conclusion, so he sent Brennan running to come up with a new collusion, that there was some kind of trivial involvement that then they could feed out to the media, and coincidentally dozens of news organizations said that Trump was in bed with Putin and that somehow Brennan knew. Brennan knew. How did he know? There was no proof. There was no proof --
TARLOV: Why did John Durham do nothing? Okay. Why did Durham do nothing, then?
GUTFELD: Let me finish. They amplified a false conclusion that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. We had to spend years dealing with that. And now we're actually getting investigation, and you're saying, "No, you know what? You guys should just move on. You guys should just move" -- you say the same effing thing about Biden's brain! You guys spent four years telling us that Joe Biden was fine. You covered up for an invalid. And then when we get the truth, it's like, "Oh, you know what? It's time -- we've got to look forward. We've got to start talking about what's there."
And you can bring up Epstein all you want. We, unlike Democrats, we can handle two things, three things, four things at once. We --
TARLOV: Doesn't seem like it.
GUTFELD: No -- have you been listening to the right lately? The right is more on top of Epstein than the Democrats are. The Democrats never cared about Epstein until they saw a political motivation. The right was into the Epstein story because -- women were being sex trafficked! We actually care! But now you're like, "Ooh, Epstein, a political angle, ooh, this is fantastic." Save me your selective outrage.
