Mark Epstein has repeatedly portrayed his relationship with his brother Jeffrey Epstein as distant and strained in later interviews, but financial records, property dealings, and witness accounts have painted a far more interconnected picture. Over the years, the two brothers were involved in multiple shared business and financial arrangements, including property transfers and overlapping corporate entities tied to Jeffrey Epstein's holdings. Mark also remained publicly supportive of Jeffrey after his 2008 conviction, at times defending him in media appearances and questioning the severity of the allegations surrounding him. Critics argue that the evidence suggests the brothers maintained a much closer and more active relationship than Mark has sometimes implied publicly, particularly given the extent of their financial overlap and the fact that Mark continued speaking on Jeffrey's behalf long after Jeffrey became internationally notorious. While there is no evidence that Mark Epstein was involved in Jeffrey Epstein's criminal conduct, scrutiny has persisted because of the broader questions surrounding how much people close to Epstein knew about his lifestyle and operations.Mark Epstein has also become one of the most vocal critics of the official narrative surrounding his brother's 2019 death inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York. He has repeatedly stated publicly that he does not believe Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide, citing what he views as inconsistencies in the autopsy findings, jail procedures, surveillance failures, and the overall handling of the case by federal authorities. Mark has pointed to the opinions of forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, who was present during the autopsy as an observer for the Epstein family and later argued that some injuries were more consistent with homicidal strangulation than suicide. Mark has also criticized the Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice for what he describes as a cascade of implausible failures surrounding the events leading up to his brother's death. Federal authorities, however, have maintained that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide, and the official ruling by New York City's chief medical examiner remains unchanged.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The true nature of the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and his brother Mark Epstein remains surprisingly murky despite years of public scrutiny surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's life and death. Publicly, Mark has at times portrayed their relationship as somewhat distant or less intertwined than many observers expected, especially after Jeffrey became one of the most notorious figures in the world. But financial records, property transactions, and overlapping business connections have suggested the brothers may have maintained a much closer relationship behind the scenes. The two were reportedly connected through various corporate entities and real estate dealings over the years, and Mark remained publicly supportive of Jeffrey even after Jeffrey's 2008 conviction. Critics have pointed to those continued associations as evidence that the brothers' relationship may have extended far beyond occasional family contact, especially given the level of trust and financial overlap reflected in some of the records that have surfaced.At the same time, many aspects of their relationship remain largely unknown because relatively little direct documentation or firsthand testimony about their personal dynamic has entered the public domain. Mark Epstein has frequently spoken out about the circumstances surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death, openly rejecting the official suicide ruling and criticizing the federal government's handling of the investigation into what happened at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in 2019. His willingness to aggressively challenge the official narrative has only fueled further interest in how close the brothers truly were and what conversations or interactions may have occurred privately between them over the years. While there is no public evidence linking Mark Epstein to Jeffrey Epstein's criminal conduct, the limited information that has emerged has left many observers with the impression that the brothers' relationship was likely far more substantial and interconnected than early public portrayals suggested.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Mark Epstein is publicly challenging the authenticity of the newly unsealed handwritten note that was allegedly written by his brother Jeffrey Epstein following the July 2019 jail incident involving former cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione. According to Mark Epstein, the language and phrasing in the note appear too similar to jokes and expressions Jeffrey previously used in old emails, particularly a line referencing “The Little Rascals.” Mark argues that anyone with access to the Epstein files and previously released emails could have copied Jeffrey's writing style and manufactured a convincing fake. He specifically pointed to the phrase “Whatcha want me to do — bust out cryin!!” as something pulled directly from Jeffrey's past communications, insisting the similarities actually raise more suspicion rather than proving authenticity.The alleged note was reportedly discovered by Tartaglione after Epstein's first reported suicide attempt in July 2019, weeks before Epstein's death at MCC New York in August of that year. However, the document never appeared in major DOJ investigative releases or official summaries surrounding Epstein's death, only surfacing years later through litigation connected to Tartaglione's criminal case. Mark Epstein has continued to reject the official suicide ruling entirely, maintaining that his brother was murdered and that the circumstances surrounding both the note and the jailhouse events remain highly questionable. The controversy surrounding the note has only intensified because the document remained sealed for years, was authenticated only through Tartaglione's legal team, and emerged long after public scrutiny surrounding Epstein's death had already exploded into one of the most debated cases in modern American criminal history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein Brother Says 'Suicide Note' Is Forgery - Business Insider

Mark Epstein opens up about a life shaped by chaos, violence, and survival, growing up in the care system and navigating a childhood filled with instability, neglect, and trauma. From spending years in foster homes and boarding schools to being exposed to grooming and abuse at a young age, he reflects on how a lack of support and role models pushed him toward anger, street life, and crime. What followed was a life on the edge, involving gangs, drugs, prison, and working as an enforcer in London's criminal underworld. But Epstein's story is also one of transformation. After years immersed in crime and addiction, he channelled his aggression into professional cage fighting, building a reputation as a fearless competitor who would fight anyone. Later, he found a new path through stunt work and film, turning the violence and discipline of his past into a career on screen. It's a brutally honest conversation about survival, redemption, and the long road from the streets to rebuilding a life. This is the eventful life of Mark Epstein.All Enquiries - Hello@DodgeWoodall.comWebsite: DodgeWoodall.comYouTube: Dodge WoodallFacebook: Dodge WoodallInstagram: @Dodge.WoodallTikTok: @DodgeWoodallLinkedIn: Dodge Woodall Hosted on Acast.

Mark Epstein was openly scathing in response to the DOJ and FBI's declaration that Epstein died by suicide and that no evidence remains to pursue further investigation. He mocked the federal agencies' conclusions, stating he “laughed” at the characterization of the findings as definitive, calling the explanations “stupid.” He criticized FBI Director Kash Patel in particular, questioning whether Patel even has the medical background—or a basic first-aid qualification—to determine the cause of death and emphasizing that Patel wasn't present during the autopsy or at the prison at the time of Jeffrey's death.Mark also highlighted the opinions of two medical examiners present at the autopsy, Drs. Kristin Roman and Michael Baden, both of whom reportedly found the death less consistent with suicide and more indicative of possible foul play. He pointed to inconsistencies like a missing minute in the surveillance video outside Epstein's cell and multiple camera malfunctions, suggesting these anomalies point toward a coverup rather than closure. By challenging both the expertise of officials and the integrity of the investigative process, Mark Epstein signaled he believes the real story is far from over.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein's brother reveals why he refuses to believe death was suicide despite Pam Bondi claims | Daily Mail Online

In the aftermath of Jeffrey Epstein's death in federal custody in August 2019, his brother Mark Epstein met with investigators from the Department of Justice's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) as part of the broader review into the circumstances surrounding the death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York. During the meeting, Mark Epstein raised serious concerns about the official conclusion that his brother died by suicide, arguing that the available evidence left major questions unanswered. He told inspectors that he did not believe the suicide determination made sense given the injuries described in the autopsy and the unusual conditions surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's detention in the days leading up to his death.Mark Epstein also questioned the failures inside the jail that night, including the fact that surveillance cameras in key areas reportedly malfunctioned and that the two correctional officers assigned to monitor the unit failed to perform regular security checks. According to accounts of the meeting, he pressed investigators to examine whether negligence or misconduct inside the facility contributed to the death and urged them to look more closely at the medical findings and timeline. His conversation with the OIG inspectors became part of the broader federal review into how Epstein was able to die in custody while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges, a failure that sparked widespread scrutiny of the Bureau of Prisons and the conditions inside MCC at the time.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00113482.pdf

He told inspectors that he did not believe the suicide determination made sense given the injuries described in the autopsy and the unusual conditions surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's detention in the days leading up to his death.Mark Epstein also questioned the failures inside the jail that night, including the fact that surveillance cameras in key areas reportedly malfunctioned and that the two correctional officers assigned to monitor the unit failed to perform regular security checks. According to accounts of the meeting, he pressed investigators to examine whether negligence or misconduct inside the facility contributed to the death and urged them to look more closely at the medical findings and timeline. His conversation with the OIG inspectors became part of the broader federal review into how Epstein was able to die in custody while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges, a failure that sparked widespread scrutiny of the Bureau of Prisons and the conditions inside MCC at the time.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00113482.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Adam interviews Mark Epstein, a psychiatrist and author, discussing the complex nature of desire from both a Buddhist and psychotherapeutic perspective. They explore how desire is often misunderstood as an obstacle, when in fact it can serve as a vehicle for spiritual growth and understanding. The conversation delves into the importance of recognizing and embracing desire rather than suppressing it, the role of the ego, and the lessons learned from personal experiences and stories, including the Ramayana and the parable of the strawberry.

Mark Epstein has repeatedly stated that he believes his brother, Jeffrey Epstein, was murdered and that the official narrative surrounding his death is deeply flawed. From the outset, Mark Epstein has questioned how a high-profile detainee on suicide watch could die under such extraordinary lapses in supervision, pointing to broken cameras, missing or incomplete footage, falsified or contradictory guard records, and shifting explanations from authorities. He has argued that these failures were not merely bureaucratic incompetence but systemic breakdowns so severe that they warrant suspicion of foul play rather than acceptance of a simple suicide conclusion.Beyond the circumstances of the death itself, Mark Epstein has also challenged the broader story told about his brother's final days and legal exposure. He has said Jeffrey Epstein was in relatively good spirits, actively planning legal strategies, and expecting to pursue bail—conditions that, in his view, conflict with the portrayal of a man on the brink of suicide. Mark Epstein has further criticized the rush by officials to close the case, the absence of a transparent and adversarial investigation, and the reluctance to fully examine who benefited from Epstein's death. Taken together, his claims amount to a direct rejection of the official account, asserting that the public has been given a simplified and misleading version of events that fails to explain glaring inconsistencies and unresolved questions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Mark Epstein has consistently stated that he does not believe his brother, Jeffrey Epstein, died by suicide and has instead argued that he was murdered while in federal custody. From the beginning, Mark has pointed to what he sees as glaring irregularities in the circumstances of Jeffrey Epstein's death, including the failure of jail staff to properly monitor him, the broken or unusable surveillance cameras, and the rapid rush by authorities to declare the death a suicide. He has said these failures go far beyond ordinary negligence and suggest, at minimum, a system that allowed Epstein to die when powerful interests may have preferred him silent. Mark has emphasized that his brother had recently been taken off suicide watch and, in his view, showed no signs consistent with an imminent suicide at that moment. He has repeatedly framed these facts as incompatible with the official narrative offered by the Bureau of Prisons and the DOJ.Mark Epstein has also cited medical and forensic concerns to support his belief that his brother was killed. He has publicly referenced findings from the autopsy that noted fractures in Jeffrey Epstein's neck bones, arguing that these injuries are more commonly associated with strangulation than with hanging. Mark has said that the refusal of authorities to seriously address these findings, combined with the lack of accountability for the jail failures, reinforces his suspicion of foul play. He has further argued that Jeffrey Epstein was uniquely dangerous to powerful people because of what he knew, and that his death conveniently prevented testimony, cooperation, or further exposure of co-conspirators. For Mark Epstein, the issue is not just personal grief but what he describes as a profound failure of justice, where unanswered questions have been buried rather than investigated with the seriousness such a death demands.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Trump accused of role in Epstein's death in explosive email sent to FBI, documents reveal | The Independent

In today's episode, Gina discusses an important consideration for anxiety recovery: that anxiety recovery does not imply a consistently calm nervous system. Your nervous system is here to do a job: keep you alive. Sometimes, you need to get excitement and activation to enable you to make corrections for yourself or your environment.

It is crucial to challenge this notion, as the idea that healing consists of constant tranquility can actually hinder our progress on our healing journeys. I explore the reality that experiencing anxiety does not negate the healing work we've done; rather, it's a normal part of being human. Many people grapple with feelings of inadequacy when they compare their internal experiences to how others appear on the surface, which often leads to unnecessary self-doubt.Throughout our discussion, I aim to unpack the myth that constant calmness is synonymous with a healthy nervous system. It's vital to realize that life will invariably activate us, and our approach should not be to avoid these feelings but to learn to move through them. Embracing our experiences—be they anxious thoughts or bodily sensations—without fear allows us to build resilience. This shifts our focus from striving for a state of perpetual calm to recognizing that our nervous system is designed to respond and recover from activation.I quote psychiatrist Mark Epstein to drive home the point: "Healing is not about eliminating pain, but about changing our relationship to it." Our society often promotes calmness as the ultimate goal, suggesting that peace is a reachable destination. While calmness is valuable, it can also become a performance metric that distorts our perception of healing. I've observed that many people mistakenly believe a healthy nervous system is one that remains completely undisturbed, when in reality, it is all about flexibility—having a system that can engage and settle in response to life's demands.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #CalmIsNotTheGoal #BefriendYourNervousSystem #CapacityOverCalm #RespondNotReact #FullCatastropheLiving #TheWormhole #HealingIsAJourney #AnxietyWarrior #BeGentleWithYourself #ACP#NervousSystemRegulation #PolyvagalTheory #VagusNerve #HeartRateVariability #SomaticHealing #NervousSystemHealth #WindowOfTolerance #SomaticAwareness #Neuroplasticity #BodyMindSoul#PsychologicalFlexibility #EmotionalResilience #ResilienceBuilding #SelfCompassion #MindfulnessPractice #MentalStrength #EmotionalIntelligence #InnerPeace #TrustYourBody #HealingFromWithin#AnxietyRelief #MentalHealthMatters #StressManagement #PanicAttackRecovery #MentalWellness #WellnessJourney #OvercomingAnxiety #HealingIsPossible #MindfulnessMeditation #SelfHealingSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mark Epstein has consistently said he does not believe his brother died by suicide and has publicly rejected the official ruling of Jeffrey Epstein's death as implausible. He has pointed to the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the death, including the failure of jail cameras, guards allegedly falling asleep, and the sudden disappearance or malfunction of evidence that would normally be critical in a high-profile federal custody death. Mark Epstein has argued that these failures are not minor errors but systemic breakdowns that conveniently aligned at the exact moment his brother died, making the official explanation difficult to accept. He has also emphasized that Jeffrey was actively pursuing legal strategies, expected to contest charges, and had shown no clear signs to him of being suicidal, undermining the narrative that his brother took his own life while awaiting trial.Mark Epstein has further reinforced his doubts by highlighting conflicting forensic opinions, particularly the findings of Dr. Michael Baden, who observed injuries to Jeffrey Epstein's neck that he said were more consistent with homicide than suicide. Mark has repeatedly called for an independent, transparent investigation, arguing that the government effectively investigated itself and closed the case too quickly despite glaring unanswered questions. He has framed his position not as a defense of his brother's crimes, which he acknowledges, but as a demand for truth and accountability in a case that implicates federal custodial responsibility. In Mark Epstein's view, the unanswered questions surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death are not fringe speculation but legitimate concerns that were never properly resolved and were instead buried under a rushed conclusion that left the public and the family without credible answers.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein's Brother Claims a New Autopsy Report Will 'Prove' the Sex Offender Was Murdered

Part 1 of this two-part dive into the recent batch of released Epstein files begins with a 2020 email between prosecutors about seeing Trump's name on flight logs. From there, we delve into the banking world and learn more about key players like James Edward "Jes" Staley, a man accused of enabling suspicious financial activity, and review some of his predatory and intimate email exchanges with Epstein. Then, we meet one of Epstein's ten co-conspirators (only three of whom have been named) Ohio billionaire Les Wexner, and hear survivor Maria Farmer's statements that shed more light on the levels of his involvement. Lastly, a look at the legal filing involving allegations of a 13-year old victim who attended Michigan's Camp Interlocken in 1994, stating Epstein made contact with her as a former camper turned benefactor before introducing her to Trump at Mar-a-Lago as a "good one". Part 1 closes with documented comments from Mark Epstein to the FBI about his belief concerning his brother's death. BONUS: a rant about how the inequities of our current economic structure and tax code facilitate a "predator and prey" class system All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Mark Epstein has consistently argued that the official account of his brother Jeffrey Epstein's death in federal custody is inadequate and incomplete, repeatedly calling for a far more robust, independent investigation. He has publicly questioned the findings of the New York City medical examiner, emphasizing that the determination of suicide was not unanimous and that at least one prominent forensic pathologist concluded the injuries were more consistent with homicide. Mark Epstein has also pointed to the extraordinary number of failures at the Metropolitan Correctional Center on the night of Jeffrey Epstein's death, including malfunctioning cameras, guards who allegedly fell asleep, and lapses in required welfare checks. In his view, these breakdowns were too numerous and consequential to be dismissed as mere coincidence. He has stressed that his concerns are not rooted in defending his brother's crimes, but in establishing what actually happened in a federal facility that was supposed to be under constant supervision. For Mark Epstein, unanswered questions surrounding the death undermine public trust in the justice system. He has maintained that transparency, not closure, should be the priority.Beyond disputing the medical and custodial conclusions, Mark Epstein has repeatedly criticized the scope and depth of the federal response, arguing that investigations have focused more on ending scrutiny than resolving contradictions. He has called for a fully independent inquiry with subpoena power, one that examines not only the immediate circumstances of the death but also potential external pressures, conflicts of interest, and institutional incentives to avoid embarrassment or liability. Mark Epstein has also questioned why no senior officials faced serious consequences despite the acknowledged failures at MCC, framing this lack of accountability as emblematic of a broader reluctance to confront uncomfortable truths. He has stated that without a comprehensive investigation, suspicions will persist regardless of official statements or reports. His continued advocacy reflects a belief that the case has been prematurely closed rather than thoroughly resolved. In his view, the handling of his brother's death represents a missed opportunity for institutional reckoning. Until those gaps are addressed, Mark Epstein has said, the public will be left with doubt rather than facts.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Mark Epstein, Jeffrey's younger brother, responded to the DOJ's announcement that it is reaching out to Ghislaine Maxwell by doubling down on his longtime suspicion that his brother's official death was a homicide, not a suicide. He criticized the Department's video release and other materials as misleading or incomplete, stating that they omit crucial evidence—for example, he disputes that the footage even shows Epstein's actual cell, saying “that video is bullshit.” Mark also reiterated his belief that government agencies are withholding details, insisting that “they're holding things back” and that meaningful transparency remains absent.Despite the DOJ's shift toward engaging Maxwell—which it says may be key to identifying additional perpetrators—Mark remains doubtful that any forthcoming testimony or disclosures will address the core mysteries: who orchestrated his brother's death and whether the full scope of Epstein's network will ever be revealed. As Maxwell and her legal team negotiate the terms of her cooperation, Mark continues to call for a full reopening of the investigation into Jeffrey's death and broader transparency around Epstein-related evidence.to contact me:Jeffrey Epstein's brother claims the true motive behind Trump's DOJ meeting Ghislaine Maxwell is nothing to do with 'what she knows' | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

He has called for a fully independent inquiry with subpoena power, one that examines not only the immediate circumstances of the death but also potential external pressures, conflicts of interest, and institutional incentives to avoid embarrassment or liability. Mark Epstein has also questioned why no senior officials faced serious consequences despite the acknowledged failures at MCC, framing this lack of accountability as emblematic of a broader reluctance to confront uncomfortable truths. He has stated that without a comprehensive investigation, suspicions will persist regardless of official statements or reports. His continued advocacy reflects a belief that the case has been prematurely closed rather than thoroughly resolved. In his view, the handling of his brother's death represents a missed opportunity for institutional reckoning. Until those gaps are addressed, Mark Epstein has said, the public will be left with doubt rather than facts.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

While Jeffrey Epstein was incarcerated in Florida following his 2008 state conviction, he maintained access to a stream of visitors that critics have long argued was wildly inappropriate given the nature of his crimes. During his work-release arrangement from the Palm Beach County Stockade, Epstein was permitted to leave custody for up to 12 hours a day, six days a week, and during that period he continued to meet privately with attorneys, associates, and other visitors at his office. His legal team and trusted confidants remained in regular contact, allowing Epstein to conduct business, manage finances, and maintain influence despite being nominally “jailed.”This pattern carried forward into his 2019 federal incarceration in New York, where visits were formally restricted but still notable. At the Metropolitan Correctional Center, Epstein was primarily visited by his attorneys and his brother, Mark Epstein, with no confirmed evidence of high-profile social or political figures entering the facility. Taken together, Epstein's periods of incarceration were marked less by isolation than by continuity. Whether through Florida's scandalously permissive work-release program or tightly controlled legal visits in federal custody, Epstein remained connected, protected, and operational in ways that reinforced public skepticism about how differently he was treated compared to ordinary inmates accused of far lesser crimes.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Where is the outrage? Where is the accountability? Where is the media? This is what President Trump has been warning about for years — and the regime mocked him. Now the truth is undeniable. The border wasn't “broken.” It was wide open — by design. And innocent people have paid the price. America deserves better. America deserves security. America deserves justice.

At the beginning of the year, our teams redoubled our efforts to go after these networks and eliminate them. We have more than 300 investigations connected to this network going on nationwide, as we speak, and that number is growing. It is a top priority for us. Out of @FBIBaltimore - recently our teams worked with partners to arrest an individual who had allegedly targeted 5 victims – one as young as 13. The individual is now in federal custody, and we expect more information to be released on this case soon. Out of Arizona - recently, we had another case – where an indictment revealed an individual in federal custody had been found allegedly targeting kids as an affiliate of 764. The 9 victims involved were between 11-15 years old. Some of the allegations involve distributing child pornography, cyberstalking, animal crushing, and even conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. I cannot emphasize enough - this is a major issue in America that not enough people know about. We are asking all parents to please be on guard – check in with your kids and monitor their internet usage. Consider your options for putting safeguards in place that limit what these networks can reach. In the meantime, this @FBI will keep working day and night to destroy this network. It is a top priority. We are making progress, but the work isn't done. God bless America, and all those who defend Her.

Perhaps the truth about these Democrats, and their associations with Jeffrey Epstein, will soon be revealed, because I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES! As everyone knows, I asked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, to pass this Bill in the House and Senate, respectively. Because of this request, the votes were almost unanimous in favor of passage. At my direction, the Department of Justice has already turned over close to fifty thousand pages of documents to Congress. Do not forget — The Biden Administration did not turn over a SINGLE file or page related to Democrat Epstein, nor did they ever even speak about him. Democrats have used the “Epstein” issue, which affects them far more than the Republican Party, in order to try and distract from our AMAZING Victories, including THE GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL TAX CUT BILL, Strong Borders, No Men in Women's Sports or Transgender for Everyone, ending DEI, stopping Biden's Record Setting Inflation, lowering Prices, Biggest Tax and Regulation Cuts in History, ending EIGHT Wars, rebuilding our Military, knocking out Iran's Nuclear capability, getting Trillions of Dollars INVESTED in the U.S.A., creating the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World, and even delivering a HUGE DEFEAT to the Democrats on the recent Shutdown Disaster. For years our Great Nation has had to endure RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, IMPEACHMENT HOAX #1, IMPEACHMENT HOAX #2, and many other Democrat created Witch Hunts and Scams, all of which have been so terrible and divisive for our Country, and have been done to confuse, deflect, and distract from the GREAT JOB that Republicans, and the Trump Administration, are doing.

Ravi Gupta and Stephen Webber break down Congress's explosive vote to release the Epstein files as Trump abruptly reverses course at the last minute, raising questions about whether compromising material is being withheld. They analyze accusations from Mark Epstein that the files are already being scrubbed, Rep. Thomas Massie's threat to read names on the House floor, and the sweeping disclosure requirements included in the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Kander and Gupta also dive into the political chaos surrounding Speaker Mike Johnson's demand for last-minute changes that the Senate flatly rejected, Trump's meltdown when pressed on why he didn't release the files himself, and the escalating infighting on the right—from MTG's attacks on Trump to Megyn Kelly's soft-pedaling of Epstein's crimes to new reporting that the White House intervened on behalf of Andrew Tate. Plus, they discuss the stunning court ruling striking down Texas's redistricting maps after a DOJ-induced legal fiasco.

I have had a meditation practice for about 15 years now. I started hoping it would calm me down, and it has. But it's also made me more aware of the strangeness of my mind. Certain thoughts emerge seemingly out of nowhere. Many of them return again and again. Why? And what relationship should you have to your thoughts when you realize you're not the one controlling them?Mark Epstein is a psychiatrist and also a Buddhist. He's spent decades observing the mind through those two distinct traditions, and has written many books that helped build a bridge between them, from his 1995 landmark book, “Thoughts Without a Thinker,” to his latest work, “The Zen of Therapy.” So I thought it would be interesting to talk to him about what he's learned about the mind after all these decades of observing it.Mentioned:Open to Desire by Mark EpsteinBook Recommendations:John & Paul by Ian LeslieEssays After Eighty by Donald HallKairos by Jenny ErpenbeckThoughts?
