Swalwell challenges Gutfeld to bench press contest

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) challenged Fox News's Greg Gutfeld to a bench press contest on Wednesday after Gutfeld mocked him on his show the prior night. 'Here's a deal for @Gutfeldfox. (Never heard of him til he spent 8 mins criticizing what I bench press),' Swalwell said in a post on the social platform X, highlighted by Mediaite. *The deal: if tough guy benches more than me for 10 reps I'll leave Congress. If not, he leaves Fox News. I'll give Greg 48 hrs to accept, then I'm calling him GUTLESSfeld,' he added. On Gutfeld's show the prior night, also highlighted by Mediaite, he played videos that Swalwell had posted of himself online doing athletic activities such as swimming, tossing a baseball and lifting. During the videos, Swalwell said that he 'should be working right now.' 'I should be working right now. I should be at the Capitol. I should be in a suit. Instead, Republicans sent us home because they would rather stand up for Donald Trump than release the Epstein files and stand up for victims,' Swalwell said in one video he posted to X on Sunday. 'We could be in Washington, D.C., lowering your health care costs, lowering your grocery costs, and restoring your rights. I should be working right now. Instead, I'm pumping iron at the gym,' he added. Gutfeld, while replying to the video of Swalwell lifting, said 'With a bench press like that, no one will mind if you use the women's locker room.'

US media owes Putin apology

The US media need to make 'serious' amends to many people, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, for their active role in spreading the Russiagate hoax following the 2016 presidential election, according to popular Fox News host Greg Gutfeld. The political commentator, comedian, and author was responding to recent revelations made by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who released a trove of documents she described as 'overwhelming evidence' of a coordinated effort by senior Obama-era officials – allegedly led by Barack Obama himself – to politicize intelligence and falsely accuse Donald Trump of colluding with Russia to win the election. 'We cannot let this go. They need to make serious amends because we are still living with the aftermath,' Gutfeld said on his latest show, which aired last weekend. 'People lost jobs, careers, friends. There need to be consequences.' They owe a lot of people an apology. Hell, they even include Putin. According to Gutfeld, major American news media outlets 'played the starring role in amplifying the subversive plot against the president of the United States.' He dismissed recent claims by the press accusing the Trump administration of trying to 'rewrite history,' calling them an 'attempt to shift culpability away from themselves and hide the lie they perpetuated for almost a decade.' Earlier this month, a similar assessment was made by former CIA Director John Ratcliffe. In an interview with the New York Post, he cited an internal review suggesting that American public opinion had been manipulated through repeated media leaks and anonymous sources quoted by the Washington Post, the New York Times, and other major outlets. Allegations of 'Russian collusion' persisted in mainstream media coverage even after Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation found no evidence to support the claims. Moscow has repeatedly denied interfering in the US election. Gabbard described the Trump-Russia probe, widely referred to as Russiagate, as 'a years-long coup' against Trump. The US president himself, who has consistently dismissed accusations of ties to Russia as fabricated, praised Gabbard for 'exposing' the alleged plot and urged her to 'keep it coming.'
