Greg Gutfeld GOES SCORCHED EARTH On Jessica Tarlov On Air | HO!!!!

In the ever-churning world of cable news, few moments break through the noise and capture the raw tension of America’s political divide quite like a Greg Gutfeld rant.

But during a recent segment on Fox News, the conservative commentator took things to another level, unleashing a blistering, no-holds-barred takedown of Jessica Tarlov—the network’s resident liberal—over the enduring controversies surrounding Donald Trump, the Russia collusion narrative, and the lingering specter of Jeffrey Epstein.

The exchange, which quickly went viral, has reignited fierce debates about media bias, political truth-telling, and the role of faith in the nation’s public life.

Setting the Stage: Old News or Unfinished Business?

The segment began with a familiar dynamic: Gutfeld, ever the provocateur, promising his audience a dose of comedic relief—“goodter than chicken”—while warning them to brace themselves for a few seconds of “suffering” through Jessica Tarlov’s take.

Tarlov, often cast as the “token liberal” on Fox’s panel shows, was quick to dismiss the latest round of controversy as “such old news,” questioning why, in 2025, the media was still talking about Hillary Clinton’s emails, the Russia investigation, and the Epstein saga.

But for Gutfeld and his audience, these topics are anything but settled. “They are pulling out all of the greatest hits to try to inflame the minds of their most conspiracy theory adult base,” Tarlov said, suggesting that conservatives were simply recycling scandals to distract from Trump’s own issues—including his alleged ties to Epstein and ongoing demands for the release of Epstein-related files.

Gutfeld was having none of it. He accused Tarlov and the broader liberal establishment of hypocrisy, arguing that if there were any credible evidence implicating Trump in Epstein’s crimes, “they would have released the files, the information, any sort of degrading material that they could put out on Trump, they would have been all over that. Come on now, y’all.”

The Russia Collusion Narrative: A “Hot Garbage” Hoax?

The conversation quickly shifted to the enduring fallout from the Russia collusion investigation. Gutfeld and his supporters have long argued that the entire narrative was a “hoax” manufactured by the Obama administration and its allies in the intelligence community to delegitimize Trump’s 2016 victory.

“When Trump won in 2016, the intel community concluded that Russia didn’t have a hand in his victory,” Gutfeld asserted. “Instead of accepting the conclusion, 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.”

He continued, “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.” Gutfeld’s frustration was palpable, and he didn’t hold back in his criticism of the media for amplifying what he called a “false conclusion that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016.”

For Gutfeld and many on the right, the years spent investigating Trump were not just a waste of time—they were a deliberate act of sabotage against a duly elected president. “They dragged our nation, our constitutional republic through hell for years pushing that lie, that hot garbage,” he said. “And then when they couldn’t get that to work, when he still got into office and did his thing, 2020 happened…”

Double Standards and Selective Outrage

Gutfeld was especially incensed by what he sees as the left’s double standards—particularly when it comes to the Biden administration and the media’s coverage of Joe Biden’s mental fitness. “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 got to look forward. We got to start talking about what’s there.’”

He didn’t pull punches when it came to the Epstein controversy either. “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 cared. But now you’re like, ‘Oo, Epstein, a political angle. Oo, this is fantastic. Save me your selective outrage.’”

Gutfeld’s broader point was clear: the left, in his view, is far more concerned with scoring political points than seeking justice or telling the truth. “The left doesn’t care about the truth. They don’t care about righteousness at all. Anything they could get their grimy little hands on that they could throw schemes up against the wall to try to bring down Trump, to try to bring down the truth. They’re working for their father, the devil.”

Faith, Politics, and the Battle for America’s Soul

As the segment continued, Gutfeld’s commentary took on an increasingly spiritual tone, reflecting a broader trend among conservative media personalities who see the current political moment as a battle between good and evil.

“There’s a reason we refer to a lot of them as demonrats,” he said, before clarifying that he prays for his political opponents to “repent and turn to Christ before it’s too late.” For Gutfeld and many of his viewers, the fight for truth is inseparable from their faith in Jesus Christ. “We want justice. We stand in truth. And our foundation, most of y’all, is on Jesus Christ, ’cause that’s the only one that’s not going to sink with all this worldly sand.”

He invoked scripture, reminding viewers that “what’s hidden will be revealed. The truth will always outshine the darkness.” For Gutfeld, the ultimate accountability doesn’t come from cable news ratings or even criminal prosecutions—it comes from God.

Clapper, Lawyering Up, and the Deep State

The segment also included a pointed reference to James Clapper, the former Director of National Intelligence, who recently admitted to lawyering up in anticipation of possible prosecution related to the Russia investigation. “What do you got a lawyer up for if you’re not guilty?” Gutfeld asked, before playing a 2017 clip of Clapper suggesting that Trump was an “asset” of Vladimir Putin.

“These deep state dirt bags, they think they’re clever,” Gutfeld sneered. “Like, ‘Oh, no. We weren’t a participant in the treasonous conspiracy.’ Yes, y’all were just doubling down on the BS that they knew they were spewing that they thought they were going to get away with.”

The Stakes: Justice, Judgment, and the Future

For Gutfeld and his audience, the stakes could not be higher. He sees the left as promoting “terrorism,” enabling “foreign criminals,” and undermining the very foundations of the nation. “They want us to just move on from it. Focus on something else. Don’t waste American taxpayers on bringing up this old news. But you want to waste our tax dollars on abortions and on illegals…”

He expressed hope that “the chickens are coming home to roost,” predicting that God’s will would ultimately see “these crooks finally get thrown in prison and behind bars.” But even if earthly justice is not served, he warned, “God’s got a blazing damnation, an eternal punishment that’s waiting for them if they don’t repent and turn to Christ.”

A Call to Faith and Action

The segment ended not with a plea for political action, but with a call to spiritual reflection. “If you don’t humble yourself under the mighty name of Jesus, you’re not going to be saved from punishment. The Lord, the way, the truth, the life is the only way that you’re going to overcome the bondage of sin. That’s the only way you can escape the grave, folks.”

Gutfeld urged viewers to prioritize faith over politics, reminding them that “this world is passing away, folks. You can’t take any of this stuff with you. None of the political power, none of the wealth, none of the things that people prioritize as important… All of these cravings and lusts and wants, they can only be solved by Jesus Christ.”

Conclusion: Truth, Justice, and the American Way

As the dust settles from yet another viral Gutfeld segment, one thing is clear: the battle lines in America’s culture war are as sharply drawn as ever. For Gutfeld and his audience, the fight is not just about Trump, Russia, or Epstein—it’s about the soul of the nation, the integrity of its institutions, and the eternal fate of its people.

Whether you agree with his fiery rhetoric or find it over the top, Gutfeld’s scorched earth takedown of Jessica Tarlov and the liberal establishment reflects a deep and abiding frustration among millions of Americans who feel betrayed by the media, the political class, and the forces they believe are arrayed against them.

As Gutfeld himself might say: “The truth will always win in the end.” And in the meantime, he—and his audience—will keep fighting, laughing, and praying for a better America.
