In a truly puzzling piece of clickbait, Washington Post columnist Jason Rezaian -- who reported from Tehran for the Post until he was taken hostage by Iran for 544 days -- proclaimed he was rooting for Iran to beat the USA in the World Cup soccer tournament....since it would keep the focus on Iran's dismal human-rights record. But Iranian dissidents were rooting for the USA! Plus Nick Fondacaro shares the latest silliness on "The View."

Nationally syndicated radio host Chris Plante visited our offices and we talked about the Biden/Harris gaffes, corruption in the "news" media, and what happened to CNN since he walked away.

Brian Stelter resurfaced at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland to moderate a panel on "disinformation." Naturally, those assembled -- including New York Times owner Arthur Gregg Sulzberger -- were encouraged to discuss how "trustworthy" media sources should be highlighted and "hate speech" (conservative speech?) should be energetically suppressed by private companies and governing elites.

Friday's annual March for Life drew some assorted news stories (not from ABC). MRCTV's Tierin-Rose Mandelburg joins the show to discuss her video from the protest scene, and how pro-abortion people struggled with her questions. Also: NBC's Chuck Todd mangles facts in his memory of the Monica Lewinsky affair 25 years ago.
