Soaking Wet Trump EXPLODES, Walks Out of Piers Morgan Interview
Donald Trump was interviewed by Piers Morgan, and although the full exchange has not yet been released, it looks like it was a total embarrassment for the former president. Trump was sweating profusely to the point where he looked like a rotisserie chicken. A trailer for the interview suggests that Trump got angry and stormed off set while calling Morgan “very dishonest.” However, audio released by the Trump team disputes this, and suggests the interview ended cordially with the two men thanking each other. Regardless of which side of the story turns out to be true, this should make for an interesting interview. Piers directly confronted the former president about having lost the 2020 election, something Trump is rarely willing to subject himself to as he’s almost exclusively interviewed by sycophants on right wing outlets.
WOW: Alex Jones Wants IMMUNITY for Role in Trump Riots
Alex Jones is requesting immunity in exchange for discussing his role in and knowledge of the January 6th insurrection. Jones was a key player in the “Stop the Steal” movement and frequently spoke at events leading up to the Capitol riots. Jones has given the government a letter via his attorney saying he wishes to “speak to federal prosecutors about Jan. 6.” However, he will only willingly do so in exchange for immunity and the reason cited is that Jones “distrusts the government.” Generally speaking, people who aren’t guilty of anything don’t make such a request in exchange for cooperating with investigators. This has not been a great year for Jones, as the lawsuits into the Sandy Hook defamation case have scaled up and this week, Infowars declared bankruptcy, ostensibly as a way to avoid paying out the plaintiffs. Now this January 6th investigation could be coming to a head for him, and there’s no sign yet about whether he’ll get the immunity he’s looking for.

Bill O'Reilly Loses It, Threatens JetBlue Worker Over Late Flight
Former Fox News personality Bill O'Reilly went viral this week after getting upset about a delayed flight and possibly threatening an airline staff member. It’s hard to make out much of what was said during an exchange he had, as the video was taken in a crowded airport and it was several feet away from the discussion. However, the way the JetBlue employee reacted made it seem like O’Reilly really crossed the line. Bill complained that his trip to Turks and Caicos was three hours late and pointed at a worker saying “you’re going to find out” why the delay was happening. The gate agent stood his ground and later in the exchange called out O’Reilly for threatening him with violence. This should be absolutely humiliating for the former Fox host, if he’s even capable of feeling shame over it. Also, it should have been obvious to Bill that this interaction could have been filmed and gone viral, but perhaps he just didn’t care.

Trump Lawyer REFUSING to Turn Over 37,000 Pages of Emails
Donald Trump’s lawyer John Eastman is blocking 3,200 documents and 37,000 pages of emails from being turned over to the committee investigating the January 6th Capitol insurrection. Eastman claims that the documents are shielded by attorney-client privilege and a federal judge is currently weighing the argument. Eastman is best known for a memo he wrote that detailed how Mike Pence would be able to overthrow the 2020 election by discounting electoral votes in states that went for Joe Biden. Now, he is trying to help Trump get away with alleged wrongdoing, since the election overthrow plot clearly failed. This is just the latest example of the Trump team being obstinate and trying to run out the clock on the January 6th investigation until Republicans likely take the House after the midterm elections.
