Jessica Tarlov Has Perfect Clapback After Fox News Co-Host Criticizes Abdul El-Sayed For Not Being A 'Practicing Physician'
Oct 02, 2026
Fox News host Jessica Tarlov had the perfect response to her colleague Emily Compagno after Compagno complained that Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is not a "practicing physician."
El-Sayed, an epidemiologist who campaigned on expanding healthcare access, strengthening the economy, and ending unconditional U.S. military aid to Israel, became the first progressive to win a statewide primary in a state carried by President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. He is set to face former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers during next month's midterms.
Speaking on The Five, Tarlov praised him for targeting "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) voters since he's "actually a doctor," a remark that underscores just how unqualified Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy is for his position.
Kennedy, who lacks medical or scientific training, has argued that drug companies and regulatory agencies harm Americans’ health. He has even proposed that certain vaccines should be removed from the market and is well-known for sharing conspiracy theories about vaccines, particularly those for measles and COVID-19.
Kennedy spearheads the controversial MAHA initiative—and he previously filed for a MAHA trademark for potential use in marketing supplements, vitamins, essential oils, and cryptocurrency, according to documents filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Referring to El-Sayed and his policy platform, Tarlov said:
"Abdul has a legitimate reason to be targeting these MAHA voters; he's actually a doctor. And he can point to the results under Bobby Kennedy's HHS and say that 'We are sicker as a result of this.'"
"I think this is good stuff: going after pesticides in the food, that you should be able to sue the pesticide manufacturers, accountability for polluters, getting lead and microplastics out of our water. What could be bad there?"
Compagno replied:
"Yeah, he's an M.D. He's not a practicing physician."
Tarlov was prepared:
“Well, Bobby Kennedy is a nothing.”
And when Compagno responded that Kennedy is HHS Secretary, Tarlov said:
“He’s confirmed as that, but I’m saying on the scale of going to medical school and getting through that, he’s a zero."
When co-host Jesse Watters said Kennedy "is in better shape," Tarlov replied that Kennedy "wears jeans to work out, like all real men." The comment refers to the times Kennedy has filmed himself working out while wearing jeans—impractical for workouts—and also takes a jab at Watters, who dedicates considerable time on the network to opining about what "real men" do.
You can watch what happened in the video below.
Many appreciated Tarlov's responses—and people had much to say about Kennedy's qualifications, or lack thereof.
We wonder how Tarlov doesn't lose her cool sitting next to people this dense every day.

Florence Pugh Revealed That Tom Holland Is The Reason She Appears In 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'—And We Love To See It
Oct 01, 2026
Florence Pugh has built a career on scene-stealing performances, but her latest Marvel appearance came with one particularly flattering endorsement: Spider-Man himself.
While promoting her latest historical drama, East of Eden, Pugh stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she was asked about her surprise appearance as Yelena Belova in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
And for anyone who doesn’t mind a spoiler, Pugh appears in a hilarious bathhouse scene, where Spider-Man visits Yelena’s unconventional “office” looking for information.
Pugh revealed who orchestrated the surprise cameo:
“Oh, you know, this all happened because of Tom…”
That’s right. Back in 2021, while speaking with Entertainment Tonight at the Spider-Man: No Way Home premiere, Holland was given some pretty big names to choose from for his next Marvel team-up, including Angelina Jolie and Harry Styles. Instead, Holland had someone else in mind: Pugh.
The Oscar-nominated Pugh took Fallon back to where it all began:
“Years ago, when I just kind of started my relationship with Marvel and Black Widow had come out, my Yelena wasn’t as obviously big as all of the other big superheroes. He, on the red carpet of his previous movie, when someone said, ‘Who do you want to be in the next movie with? Do you want to be with Thor?’ I don’t remember the superheroes, but they were all massive superheroes…”
Holland and Pugh had yet to work together, but by then, Pugh had made her MCU debut in 2021’s Black Widow, stealing scenes as Yelena Belova, the younger sister of Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff and eventual successor to the Black Widow mantle.
Clearly, Pugh’s MCU debut left an impression on Holland:

Pugh shared what came next:
“Fans were then so excited about the idea of it, and that started the ball rolling.”
And roll it did. Flash forward five years, and Holland’s wish became a $2.49 billion reality. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now the third highest-grossing movie of all time, with more than $950 million earned domestically.

Spidey may not be finished at the box office, either. A theatrical re-release with extra footage is reportedly in the works, including a previously cut scene featuring Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple, though no date has been announced.
Thanks to Holland, Yelena squeezed in one more Marvel appearance before all hell presumably breaks loose in Avengers: Doomsday.
Marvel fans had this to say:
Pugh’s latest project takes her far outside the MCU. The seven-episode Netflix limited series East of Eden adapts John Steinbeck’s 1952 novel, with Pugh starring as Cathy Ames in the multigenerational saga set in California’s Salinas Valley.
You can watch the trailer here:
- YouTubeNetflix
Pugh will then return as Princess Irulan in Dune: Part Three and as Yelena in Avengers: Doomsday, both arriving December 18.
As for another Pugh and Holland reunion? Nothing is confirmed, but after Holland helped make their first Marvel crossover happen, perhaps they’ll find their way back to the same screen someday—with or without the bathhouse, belly buttons, and/or superhero suits.

Woman Reveals The Fallout After She Caught Her Sister's Fiancé Cheating Just 2 Hours Before Their Wedding
Oct 01, 2026
Some people would rather live in a state of oblivion than know the truth.
TikToker @kelsgordon realized her sister was one of those people when she discovered, just two hours before her sister's wedding, that her sister's fiancé had a whole other romantic relationship in the works—and she intended to go ahead with the wedding anyway.
As a member of the wedding party, the TikToker was assigned the job of checking in on the groom and groomsmen to make sure they were running on time for the ceremony. Upon checking on them, everything was going well, except the groom was nowhere to be found.
After a lot of back-and-forth with the men, the best man said the groom was probably in his hotel room.
TikToker @kelsgordon went to the groom's hotel room and knocked on the door, only for a woman she didn't know to answer. The woman tried to send her away, claiming that she must have the wrong room, since she claimed she was on the wedding trip with one of the groomsmen, not the groom.
But after a lot of back and forth with her as well, the TikToker confirmed that the woman was actually dating the groom, who had convinced her that he was single and invited her on his wedding weekend when he was actually set to get married. The TikToker was confident that the woman looked far too shocked to have known that she was an affair partner, and she volunteered that she'd been seeing him for eight months and had met all of his friends, including the other men in the wedding party, as well as his family.
TikToker @kelsgordon returned to her sister, where she revealed her discovery, only for the bride and their mother to claim that she was lying and trying to create drama just two hours before the wedding.
The bride insisted that if she really loved her, she'd shut her mouth about what she thought she knew and let her get happily married, so the TikToker stopped talking.
But right before the ceremony started, the groom's mother walked in arm-in-arm with the affair partner, and she approached the groom, insisting that he needed to call off the wedding and marry his true partner.
Soon after, the bride got involved, and everyone ended up in tears before the groom called the wedding off, claiming that he couldn't go through with the ceremony when his heart was partially with someone else.
You can watch the video here:
@kelsgordon an insane wedding storytime #reddit #redditstories #storytime #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive #insaneredditstory
Fellow TikTokers reassured TikToker @kelsgordon that she was right to tell the bride, even if she was angry with her when she learned the truth.











Fellow TikTokers couldn't help but wonder if the bride already knew about the affair or had suspicions and was too insecure to let go of the relationship where she was at least partially welcome. Or perhaps she was more interested in her social image and having a party than in having an actual marriage.
Whatever the case, it was better for the sister in the long run to go separate ways with the groom before getting married, rather than having to go through a divorce later when she finally decided that she'd had enough of her cheating husband.

Woman Shares The Biggest 'Red Flags' That A Friendship Is Ending—And TikTokers Are Sounding Off
Oct 01, 2026
Most of us have experienced a friendship coming to an end, and while it sometimes comes as a surprise, we can usually look back and see some signs that the end was near.
TikToker @maddieogle10, for example, believes that it's obvious that a friendship is coming to an end when something starts to feel off or like the friend is losing interest.
Because she takes her friendships seriously and invests time, energy, and attention into those relationships, she notices quickly when something changes.
She observed:
"I take my friendships very seriously. There are not a lot of people in my life who have not already been in my life for five-plus years."
"Every single time a friendship has ended or someone has screwed me over, these things happened."
How much the person cares begins to dwindle.
"The friend stops asking about anything personal in your life."
"When you're talking, they don't ask you a single question about yourself."
They put more effort into a screen than into you.
"If you're out with them, and they're on their phone the entire time."
"I understand that we're not on a date, but I think that is so rude and disrespectful."
"If I'm going out of my way, spending money to go out, and you're just sitting there on your phone the whole time and making me look stupid, why am I even here?"
The TikToker reassured viewers that these were not high standards to have.
"A friendship is still a relationship, even if it's not romantic, and respect still goes both ways."
You can watch the video here:
@maddieogle10 Treat your friendships like a relationship because your bf isn’t the only person that deserves respect🫶🏻 #relationships #rant #relationshipstorytime #friendbreakup #fakefriends #ifyouthinkthisisaboutyouthenitis #fyp #foru #girls #girltalk
Fellow TikTokers totally agreed with TikToker @maddieogle10 that friendships deserve to be taken as seriously as other relationships.
Many voiced their displeasure over not feeling valued by their friends, understanding that their "friends" must now view other people, a romantic partner, or even a screen as more important than their friendship.











Friends are meant to be there for each other through thick and thin, and those relationships go far beyond romance.
Fellow TikTokers agreed that wanting a friend to care about your life and to focus on you when you've made time to see them shouldn't be considered high maintenance. Those are two easy ways to help a friendship continue to grow.

Tech Billionaire Goes Viral For Bonkers Claim That Being Evil Can Actually Be 'Kind Of Good' In Cringey Viral Clip
Oct 01, 2026
While everyday Americans are watching the cost of seemingly everything eat away at their bank accounts, the billionaire class continues operating in an entirely different financial multiverse.
Now, tech billionaire Peter Thiel has apparently found another luxury afforded by extreme wealth: redefining whether “evil” might actually be a good thing. The eyebrow-raising philosophy came during a September 2026 appearance on MD Meets, where Thiel sat down with fellow billionaire Mathias Döpfner.
Döpfner kicked off the exchange:
“Why do we always moralize new technologies? I would say technologies are just neutral. You can use them for good and for bad causes, and it depends on us, what we human beings are doing with it.”
Because, apparently, this is what rich people chat about when they get together.
And for those who don’t know, Döpfner chairs Axel Springer SE, the media empire behind Politico, Business Insider, Bild, and Welt, while Thiel has his fingers in an entirely different collection of extraordinarily lucrative pies across tech, data, and venture capital.
Thiel naturally had a take of his own:
“I'm going to get in trouble for what I'm about to say, but I think we moralize way too much. There's always a question I like to ask: What is the antonym of good? And the moral antonym is evil. The functional antonym is bad.”
Ah, yes. If there's one thing society has clearly been suffering from, it's an exhausting surplus of moral consideration.
And Thiel isn't merely a billionaire with opinions and a microphone. He co-founded PayPal and Palantir, founded Founders Fund, and became Facebook's first outside investor.
No surprise here, the next part of his philosophy involved Ferraris:
“A Ferrari is an evil car because it doesn't get many miles per gallon. A Trabbi is a bad car. It's less good than a golf cart. You know, the former East German car. And so, if you're evil, you're at least competent. And if you're evil, you're not bad.”
So, evil isn't bad as long as it's competent? Interesting.
By that logic, if a gas-guzzling Ferrari is “evil” but competent, does that make a fuel-efficient Prius “good” and competent? And where exactly does fellow PayPal alum Elon Musk's Tesla land on the moral spectrum?
Congratulations, Thiel, we've apparently solved thousands of years of moral philosophy with Consumer Reports.
Then the billionaire took it a step further:
“And therefore, maybe you're actually kind of good because you're at least getting something done.”
Well, America's wealthiest people have certainly been getting something done.
Watch Thiel make his case:
Peter Thiel, venture capitalist and co-founder of PayPal, on competence mattering more than morality:"if you're evil, you're at least competent. And if you're evil, you're not bad.""A Ferrari is an evil car because it doesn't get many miles per gallon. A Trabi is a bad car. And so if you're evil, you're at least competent."
— Guillermo Flor (@guilleflorvs) September 25, 2026
But being competent enough to “get something done” doesn't make what you're doing inherently good. What you're accomplishing—and who benefits—still matters.
Just look at philanthropist Melinda French Gates. Through Pivotal, she's focused her philanthropy on advancing women’s power, health, and family well-being. When Olivia Rodrigo's Daisy Chain Fields festival recently raised $10 million for 10 women-focused charities, French Gates matched it, bringing the total to $20 million.
Rodrigo put it this way:
“Melinda is one of the most inspiring women I’ve ever met. She’s devoted her life to empowering women and girls that might have otherwise been forgotten.”
And that's where Thiel's philosophical word salad starts losing its croutons.
French Gates is extraordinarily wealthy and clearly capable of getting things done. Yet here, competence looks like putting millions behind women and girls—not taking a Ferrari-sized detour to move “evil” a little closer to “good.”
Maybe competence was never the moral compass. What you choose to do with it is. And judging by the reaction online, social media wasn't exactly lining up to enroll in Thiel's philosophy class.
Check out the discourse below:
But before we permanently enroll Thiel in Team Evil, there's more context. The tech investor eventually swapped luxury cars for classic literature to explain where he was going with all this.
Thiel attempted to connect the dots:
“I think it's better to be good than evil, I want to be very clear, but I prefer Goethe's ‘Faust’ to Marlowe's ‘Faust.’”
For anyone wondering what the hell that means, here's the SparkNotes version: Marlowe's Faust makes a questionable bargain and ultimately pays for it. Goethe's Faust makes plenty of morally questionable choices, too, but ultimately gets redeemed.
I guess we let the billionaire who thinks we spend “way too much time thinking about climate change” explain why he prefers Door No. 2.

And while Thiel debates what qualifies as “good,” his fortune keeps getting bigger. His reported net worth jumped from approximately $23.9 billion in August 2025 to $32.1 billion by August 2026—more than $8 billion in a year.
Maybe the real question is what someone with billions considers worth getting done.
