WHAT WE'RE WATCHING

🎙️ Megyn Kelly skewered Jake Tapper on the Biden cover-up. Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly grilled CNN's Jake Tapper over his role in concealing President Biden's mental decline during his presidency. During the tense exchange, Tapper admitted he failed to press Biden on his visible health issues and conceded that Lara Trump "saw something" in 2020 that he dismissed. This confrontation exposes the growing reckoning within CNN and other networks about their systematic protection of Biden's cognitive state.

💥 Dan Bongino faced backlash over changing Epstein narrative. Right-wing voices, including Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones, slammed the conservative podcasting star turned FBI deputy director Dan Bongino after he supported the FBI's ruling on Epstein's death by suicide, accusing him of abandoning the MAGA base. Glenn Beck demanded that Bongino explain his change of stance, questioning whether he truly believed the official narrative.

⚕️ Scott Adams revealed his terminal cancer diagnosis. Dilbert creator and right-wing commentator Scott Adams revealed he has metastasized prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, giving him a life expectancy of "maybe this summer." The influential cartoonist and author also noted that President Trump called him twice to offer his support. Adams has been a supporter of Trump’s since 2016 and kept his cancer diagnosis hidden from the public, possibly for years.

⚖️ Senators warned Paramount about Trump’s lawsuit. Senators Warren (D-MA), Sanders (I-VT), and Wyden (D-OR) sent a letter to Paramount Global's Shari Redstone warning that settling Trump's $20 billion lawsuit against CBS could violate federal bribery laws. The lawmakers argue that Trump’s lawsuit against 60 Minutes over their edited Kamala Harris interview is baseless, and suggest that Paramount is seeking a settlement to secure approval for their merger with Skydance from the Trump administration.
