‘Ask my husband’: Hillary Clinton throws Bill under the bus during Epstein deposition, reports indicate

1 week 5 days ago


During her Thursday deposition, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton distanced herself from Jeffrey Epstein, urging lawmakers to direct many of their questions about the convicted sexual predator to her husband, former President Bill Clinton, whose hearing was scheduled for the following day.

While video and transcript of Hillary Clinton’s deposition have not yet been released to the public, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) stated that she repeatedly claimed she did not remember ever meeting Epstein and deferred the lawmakers’ questions to her husband.

‘I’m not going to do it again.’

“The number of times that she said, ‘I don’t know, you’ll have to ask my husband,’ was more than a dozen,” Comer told reporters after Hillary Clinton’s deposition.

“She said many times under oath that she had never met Jeffrey Epstein,” he explained during an interview with Fox News. “The reason she was asked so many times is, we kept presenting new items of evidence: emails from Epstein where he implied that he was very close with the Clinton family, including Hillary; emails that implied that he set up the Clinton Foundation, that he was one of the biggest donors and one of the main early seed-money raisers for the Clinton Global Initiative.”

Hillary Clinton reportedly denied involvement in the Clinton Global Initiative while she was a U.S. senator. According to Comer, she referred to Epstein as “a con artist.”

Legal scholar Jonathan Turley reacted to the committee’s reports of Hillary Clinton’s deposition, stating that she “seemed to sort of throw Bill under the bus.”

Members of the committee agreed to hold the closed-door deposition in Chappaqua, New York, rather than requiring the Clintons to travel to Washington, D.C. This decision came after months of resistance from the couple and a vote finding them in contempt of Congress.

Despite initially defying congressional subpoenas, the Clintons had pushed for their depositions this week to be held as public hearings, which the committee denied.

Comer previously explained that the initial depositions had to be held in private but that the committee would consider public hearings afterward. However, Comer stated that video and transcript from the depositions would be released to the public.

Following Hillary Clinton’s Thursday deposition, she shut down any future chance of her participating in a public hearing.

“I’m not going to do it again,” she told reporters. “They had a chance to do it in public, and I wish they had done it in public.”

‘Fight with the devil’: ‘Glyphosate Girl’ sounds the alarm over Trump executive order backing key herbicide

1 week 5 days ago


President Trump signed an executive order aimed at strengthening domestic supplies of glyphosate-based herbicides — and the co-executive director and co-founder of American Regeneration, Kelly Ryerson, is not pleased.

Ryerson, who is also known widely online as “Glyphosate Girl,” tells BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler that this executive order signals more than just agricultural policy.

“Some of us are feeling a little bit of a breach, a little bit of a betrayal here, because President Trump signed this executive order called ‘Promoting the National Defense by Ensuring an Adequate Supply of Elemental Phosphorus and Glyphosate-Based Herbicides,’” Wheeler tells Ryerson.

“My initial reaction to this is, wait a second, wait a second. I believe the evidence shows that glyphosate causes cancer,” she adds.


“Absolutely, it does,” Ryerson responds. “This has been a really long-term debate that really should never have been a debate. This chemical is the most used pesticide of all time globally. So, it is used all over the world.”

Ryerson notes that it’s been known by Monsanto, the manufacturer of the glyphosate-based herbicide Roundup, for a long time that it was a carcinogen.

“They went to great lengths since the 1980s to try and hide the fact that this can cause cancer because this is such a blockbuster product for them,” she tells Wheeler, noting that genetically modified organisms were developed to be resistant to the effects of glyphosate.

“So, that means that a farmer can plant this corn or soy, and then they can spray all over that crop, and it won’t die because that has been genetically modified to not be impacted by Roundup,” she explains.

“This was a system called Roundup Ready, and obviously it exploded. This is most of our agriculture in this country now. So, it’s a system that is highly dependent on the use of glyphosate to kill the weeds around those crops,” she continues, noting that our “entire agriculture system” is now built around this system.

Unfortunately, this is why banning glyphosate is not on the table in the eyes of the government.

“If we were to ban glyphosate tomorrow, yes, it would cause an incredible shock to our system. We’re not ready for it. But the idea to make it a national security issue and have a large executive order around it is signaling something much different,” Ryerson says.

“What this looked like to me is that President Trump was signaling to the Supreme Court and to Congresspeople, who are right now — this is another piece of it. ... Bayer is trying to get an immunity shield so that we can no longer sue pesticide manufacturers when we get sick from exposure to 57,000 different pesticides,” she explains.

“They told the Supreme Court, ‘Take this case. We think that there should be a liability shield put in place. Americans shouldn’t be able to sue these foreign chemical manufacturers when we get cancer, Parkinson’s, infertility,’” she continues.

“You were talking earlier about this fight with the devil right now ... and just feeling, like, these dark forces,” she adds. “This is a very key part of that for me.”

18-wheeler speeding the wrong direction on highway was driven by — you guessed it

1 week 5 days ago


The suspected driver of the 18-wheeler filmed on Wednesday speeding in the wrong direction down a stretch of highway in Missouri has been identified as a Minnesota-based Somali migrant.

Lincoln County Prosecuting Attorney Mike Wood indicated that while he was not immediately taken into custody, Abdiasis Ibrahim Ali, 38, has been charged with driving the wrong direction on a divided highway and operating a motor vehicle in a careless manner.

'He wasn't able to read.'

The prosecutor noted further that a no-bound warrant for Ali's arrest has been requested and that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been notified.

X user MolonLabeBTC shared footage on Wednesday showing a truck barreling southbound down Highway 61 — in one of the northbound lanes. The X user claimed that he began following the "foreign invader" after the truck nearly hit him "head on" and that the incident took place roughly five miles north of Troy.

Sgt. Dallas Thompson of the Missouri State Highway Patrol stated, "We were glad someone saw this yesterday and called it in to try to get resources there to get the vehicle stopped," reported KMOV-TV.

After the driver crossed over to the southbound lane, a state trooper reportedly stopped him and conducted a roadside inspection.

"During that test, the trooper noticed he wasn't able to read and comprehend the road signs," said Thompson.

Having been found incapable of demonstrating basic reading comprehension and proficiency in English, "the driver was taken out of service," added Thompson.

After Ali was taken out of service, his co-driver, Abdulahi Abshir Alim — who was apparently in the "sleeper" at the time of the incident — took over, said Wood.

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy indicated that despite his apparent inability to read road signs, the driver was in possession of a Minnesota commercial driver’s license.

Duffy noted further that the driver's carrier, Cargo Transportation LLC, is now under investigation.

Department of Transportation records indicate that Cargo Transportation is based in Hopkins, Minnesota — in what appears to be an apartment complex — and has two drivers who drove over 81,000 miles in 2024. As of Friday, the company's USDOT status was still listed as "active."

Blaze News was unable to reach the company for comment.

The trailer apparently hauled by the Somali is owned by Taylor Trucking Lines whose vice president said in a statement obtained by KMOV, "The driver is not an employee or contractor of Taylor Trucking Lines. He is a contractor for Cargo Transportation. The driver was fired shortly after the video was seen."

The incident took place the day after President Donald Trump called on lawmakers to "pass what we will call the Dalilah Law, barring any state from granting commercial driver's licenses to illegal aliens."

The proposed legislation takes its name from Dalilah Coleman, a little girl grievously injured in a car accident that was allegedly caused by an illegal alien from India who reportedly obtained a commercial driver's license from California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom's Department of Motor Vehicles.

According to the USDOT, roughly 200,000 truckers hold non-domiciled CDLs, and over 14,000 truckers have been kicked out of service for failing to meet basic language requirements since the department brought back English proficiency tests in May 2025.

Tourette advocate's BAFTA slur gets no empathy from stars

1 week 5 days ago


It was a perfect Hollywood moment. Perfectly revealing, that is.

John Davidson, the inspiration behind the film “I Swear,” earned an invitation to the recent BAFTA awards gala. The film chronicles the life of a man suffering from Tourette syndrome, a condition that finds the sufferer sharing cruel, involuntary outbursts.

We don’t want to spoil the film, but it’s likely China and India won’t be name-checked enough in the screenplay.

They. Can’t. Help. Themselves.

Sadly, Davidson’s inability to control his tongue tainted the early moments of the ceremony. His swears could be heard in the venue, even though he wasn’t on the stage at the time.

Host Alan Cumming apologized for Davidson’s comments early in the show, noting the cruel nature of the incurable condition. But when Davidson’s racially charged comments bled into the audio feed while black performers Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo took the stage, the reaction was hyperbolic.

Yes, the “N-word” remains a vile reminder of our bigoted past, an awful word that has earned its toxic brand. But Davidson didn’t mean to utter the foul word. He literally couldn’t help himself.

Yet the same artistic community that pleads for empathy and understanding recoiled at the moment. The story has lingered for days in the legacy media. Jamie Foxx publicly called out Davidson, while one BAFTA judge quit after the incident.

They ignored the facts of his condition and embraced their victim status, even though Davidson is the ultimate victim. The real villain is the person in charge of the show’s feed who didn’t bleep out the offending words.

May he or she never work an awards broadcast again.

The kerfuffle punished poor Davidson all over again. And instead of basking in a personal triumph — a movie that asked people to understand and forgive his tragic condition — he got a nightmare he’ll never forget ...

Pine-ing away

Imagine watching your Oscar-winning wife star in a rom-com alongside a handsome leading man. That’s the reality Dave McCary faces, and it’s all his fault.

McCary is married to “Bugonia” star Emma Stone, and he’s agreed to direct her in the upcoming romance “The Catch.” Her co-star? None other than Captain Kirk himself, Chris Pine.

It’s unclear if the film will have an “intimacy coordinator” on set, but we image Pine will be more than a little nervous when he goes in for a buss. Hope he sets his phaser on, “Hey, it’s in the script” …

Inconvenient Truth 2: Electric Boogaloo

Remember when “An Inconvenient Truth” forced America to do everything possible to stop global war — we mean climate change? Or when “The Day After Tomorrow” and “Don’t Look Up” did the job? Or the dozen-plus documentaries pleading with U.S. voters to do something, anything, about global apocalypse, economic fallout be darned?

No? That’s OK. Turns out we were all waiting for this movie to change everything.

The project, based on the book “Losing Earth,” is set in 1980 and shows climate expects warning the world that something must be done, or else. Filming is set to begin shortly under director Tom McCarthy (“Spotlight,” “Win Win”).

The cast and crew are a who’s who of Hollywood, including Paul Rudd, John Turturro, Paul Giamatti, Jason Clarke, Tatiana Maslany, Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck. The latter two superstars are executive producers on the project.

We don’t want to spoil the film, but it’s likely China and India won’t be name-checked enough in the screenplay, nor any of Al Gore’s “Inconvenient” predictions ...

'View' boo-boo

“The View” wants to be sued oh, so badly.

The dumber-than-dumb ABC show routinely creeps up to the line, only to read a few “legal notes” later to save its skin. And sadly, their collective TDS appears incurable.

The latest example?

Sunny Hostin read an alleged excerpt from the Epstein files that said President Donald Trump had once sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl. The claim is part of the more preposterous side of the files, wild allegations that have no credibility. Otherwise legacy media outlets would be covering it 24-7 and/or the Biden administration would have leaked it years ago.

How do we know? Later in the show, legal scholar Joy Behar coaxed Hostin to clarify her earlier comments:

I want to be very careful here because these are allegations, and President Trump has consistently — they're unverified allegations, and President Trump has consistently denied all the allegations and any wrongdoing. BUT there was a presentation made by the FBI, and the witness stated that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Trump, who subsequently forced her head down and punched her in the head in response to something that she did.

Imagine if Hostin had been “very careful” in the first place.

It’s just a matter of time before someone on “The View” gets a tap on the shoulder to find legal documents in their face.
