From the surreal whiplash of launching a Board of Peace days before bombs fall, to the gamble of shock-and-awe without boots on the ground, they trace how foreign policy becomes personal survival strategy in a “government of one.” Is this a calculated move, a headline reset, or simply Trump following his gut in the fog of war? Along the way, they unravel the politics of his speech to Iranians, the MAGA base's unease with another Middle East conflict, and the looming midterms that may be shaping every decision.

Send a text Ep 276 -- Barbara Adler exposes Epstein party details — the supermodel who was inside Jeffrey Epstein's parties from 2004 to 2009 tells all. Prince Andrew, Naomi Campbell, David Blaine confirmed in the Epstein files, Victoria's Secret secrets, and the unpublished Michael Wolff article connecting Epstein to Princess Diana and Bill Clinton. Barbara Adler was the face of Abercrombie & Fitch and worked the Victoria's Secret catalog — her ex-fiancé was David Blaine's producer and everything she said about Blaine has now been confirmed in the files that just dropped. She saw Prince Andrew at the parties with young models and what the girls called him behind his back is worse than I expected. She tells you what you had to do to become a VS Angel — and why she was blacklisted for refusing. She gets into physical altercations with Naomi Campbell multiple times and what she walked into at 4am at Naomi's apartment will disturb you — plus a connection between Naomi, Diddy, and someone very powerful I need to dig into more. She tells me about the night Damon Dash drugged her at a party with Diddy and Jay-Z and what would have happened if one model hadn't woken her up. Janice Dickinson shows up in this doing something at Cipriani that nobody's talking about. I share my Gene Simmons and Cuba Gooding Jr. stories. Then I finish with the gold I found in the Epstein Files the actual blue print described by Epstein's reputable friend about his relationships with everyone post Florida arrest— Epstein had his arm around Princess Diana the night of the revenge dress, he was on the Trilateral Commission, and he was recovering looted monies for someone who sounds like a world leader. Bill Clinton is all over this and it doesn't match what he said at the hearings.

Proof Trump, 79, Has Lost Grip on Reality: Wolff

The New Abnormal

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to dissect the now tangible proof that Trump has lost touch with political reality. Beginning with a marathon State of the Union that was less a governing document than a 1-hour-and-47-minute exercise in self-mythology, aimed at his fan base, where reality was declared perfect even as polls told a different story. That disconnect between performance and public mood becomes sharper in Minneapolis, where a legitimate COVID-era fraud case that led to dozens of convictions was transformed by the ICE killings, tragedies so unpopular that it could cost Trump an easy political win. Now, JD Vance is dispatched to sell the punishment and absorb the blowback. Abroad, the stakes escalate: brinkmanship with Iran risks blowback Trump once vowed to avoid, while the grinding war in Ukraine—which he promised to end in a day—remains unresolved and increasingly perilous.

For this bonus episode, we invite the orderers to hear a lightly-edited recording of Jason Pack appearing on our sister pod, KeenOn America, where Andrew and Jason discuss Jason's belief that there was a genuine cover-up by Anglo-American media and the US and UK governments of the Jeffrey Epstein case—not orchestrated by the CIA, but by prosecutors who didn't want to go after powerful people, journalists who didn't want to go against an oligarch who could sue them for libel, and a system where orders of magnitudes too much wealth has accrued to too narrow a sliver of global elites. So despite being anti-conspiratorial, Jason concludes that the cover up and the conspiracy were real.

Keen On Democracy
Trump-Epstein: Jason Pack on the Axis of Disorder

Keen On Democracy

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 26, 2026 40:10


"They are fundamentally bound at the hip, because the Trump age is a conspiratorial age and a backlash against global wealth inequality... Epstein facilitated the rise of Trump." — Jason PackLate last year, Disorder podcast host Jason Pack came on the show and predicted that Mark Carney would be the "orderer" of 2025 and Jeffrey Epstein would be 2026's "disorderer-in-chief". Pack was uncannily right. Although, as he admits, such prescience gives him no pleasure.Pack is no conspiracist. He thought QAnon was a hoax; he saw the antisemitism baked into its bizarre theories. But he's come to believe there was a genuine cover-up of the Jeffrey Epstein case—not orchestrated by the CIA, but by prosecutors who didn't want to go after powerful people, journalists comfortably ensconced in Epstein's world, and a system where too much wealth has accrued to too narrow a sliver of global elites.What haunts him most is what the emails reveal about how the world actually works. Favors exchanged for favors in a network of infinite back-scratching. Noam Chomsky (!) and Leon Black busy trading intros for access to Epstein's underworld. The emails reveal completely amoral elites, Pack says, nihilists without even the pretense of moral scruples.Trump and Epstein, Pack argues, are bound at the hip—not because Trump is guilty of Epstein's crimes, but because both are products of the same angry backlash against global wealth inequality and the collapse of institutional trust. Trump is, in Pack's memorable phrase, "a legal Epstein"—someone who gets things done through connections, who can appear the most elite Wall Street type to bankers and the most common man to coal miners. The evil genius of doppelgängerism. For Pack, the Epstein files may be a tremor before the big one—AI or crypto could bring the real 1789 style earthquake—but they've already destroyed something of priceless value: the illusion that elites are working on the behalf of the people. Five Takeaways●      The Cover-Up Wasn't a Conspiracy—It Was the System: Cases sat on prosecutors' desks in Florida in 2003 and weren't filed. Journalists were tipped off in the early 2000s and didn't run with it. Pack isn't alleging CIA orchestration—just that too much wealth and power had accrued to too narrow a tranche of global elites, and they were able to cow journalists and prosecutors into silence.●      Trump and Epstein Are Bound at the Hip: Both are products of the same backlash against global wealth inequality and the collapse of trust since the end of the Cold War. The irony: Trump is himself a member of the elite who benefited from these networks, but his political appeal lies in his promise to dismantle them.●      "Order" vs. the Law of the Jungle: The world Epstein built wasn't ordered in any traditional sense—it was the logic of the jungle, based on blackmail and compromat. Russian intelligence running a financial sex trafficking influence scheme at the heart of the Anglo-American establishment. When they needed a service, they got the service.●      The Collapse of Social Trust: Pack contrasts our "low-trust" Anglo-American society with Scandinavian models where people still believe institutions work on their behalf. The Epstein files reveal completely amoral elites who believed in nothing—no religion, no moral code—and had no compunction about harming young women or stealing pensioners' money.●      A Tremor Before the Big One: Epstein won't bring down neoliberal capitalism. But AI making five families wealthier than the rest of the world combined could. Or crypto going to zero and 300,000 people realizing their life savings are gone. The true significance of the Epstein files is that they've stripped away the illusion that the system works on our behalf. About the GuestJason Pack is a historian, consultant, and host of the Disorder podcast.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles with a new window into the volatility inside the West Wing, describing what he says was a secret Situation Room tantrum by Donald Trump, a moment when military briefers could not give him the absolute guarantees he demanded, and the meeting spiraled. Wolff connects that flash of anger to the broader pattern he's reported for years: a president who hates paper trails, avoids email, and warns aides never to “leave a record,” an instinct that now looms large as the Epstein Files fallout engulfs figures like Prince Andrew and Peter Mandelson. Why, Wolff asks, do so many powerful men have receipts—while Trump seems not to? From the chaos-as-cover strategy to the Iran briefings where strength is performative, and doubt is intolerable, this is a portrait of a leader who equates uncertainty with humiliation and reacts accordingly.

Fresh Hell at 3 AM: Peter Bale on the View of America From Down Under

"I wake up at 3 AM, check my phone to see what fresh hell has come out, and it's usually two words: 'Trump threatens.'" — Peter BaleWe're reversing the lens today. Rather than examining America from the inside, we're peering at it from the outside in—from New Zealand, at the bottom of the world. Peter Bale is a longtime media executive who's had senior positions at CNN, Reuters, and News Corp. He's now back in his native New Zealand, waking up at 3 AM to check his phone. The news, he says, is usually two words: "Trump threatens."Much of our conversation centers on the former NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. She led New Zealand's COVID response, Anthony Fauci style, with daily press conferences and a scientific mastery of the facts. An estimated 20,000 lives were saved. But she also became the target of profound misogyny and physical threats that no New Zealand Prime Minister had ever experienced. She now lives in Boston—teaching at Harvard's Shorenstein Center—because she can't safely live in her own country.Bale describes a dark MAGA-style underbelly in New Zealand that surprised him when he returned after 50 years abroad. Christian nationalists, anti-Maori sentiment, "Christchurch skinheads." US platforms—especially X—have given permission to speak in ways that would have been unacceptable. When the President uses that rhetoric, Bale notes, the permission for personal calumny is quadrupled.We also discuss the Epstein files (the media failed to connect the dots), Will Lewis's destruction of the Washington Post ("utterly reprehensible"), and whether America is finished. Bale's answer: "I don't think America is ever done. Every time people perceive it to be done, it has a political or economic renewal." The question is who comes after Trump—Vance or somebody even more threatening—and who will keep waking Peter Bale at 3 AM. Five Takeaways●      The View from 18,000 Miles Is Punch-Drunk: Bale wakes at 3 AM to check his phone. The news is usually two words: "Trump threatens." Small countries like New Zealand depend on the international rule of law. When that breaks down, they feel it acutely.●      Jacinda Ardern Became New Zealand's Fauci: She led the COVID response with daily press conferences and saved an estimated 20,000 lives. But she became the target of profound misogyny and physical threats. She now lives in Boston because she can't safely live in New Zealand.●      "They Are Us" Was the Right Three Words: After an Australian livestreamed himself killing 51 Muslims in Christchurch, Ardern flew there immediately, wore a head covering, and said of the victims: "They are us." It hung in the air as exactly what needed to be said.●      Trumpism Has Gone International: New Zealand has its own dark underbelly—Christian nationalists, anti-Maori sentiment, "Christchurch skinheads." US platforms have given permission to speak in ways that would have been unacceptable. When the President uses that rhetoric, the permission is quadrupled.●      America Is Never Done: Every time people perceive it to be finished, it has a political or economic renewal. Its ability to rebuild itself constantly is astounding. The question is who comes after Trump—Vance or somebody worse. About the GuestPeter Bale is a longtime media executive based in New Zealand. He has held senior positions at CNN, Reuters, News Corp, and the Center for Public Integrity. He ran WikiTribune and has been a close observer of both American and international media for decades.ReferencesPeople mentioned:●      Jacinda Ardern was Prime Minister of New Zealand during COVID. She now teaches at Harvard's Shorenstein Center because she can't safely live in her own country.●      Mark Carney has articulated what Bale calls the "Carney doctrine"—medium-sized countries standing up to US unilateralism.●      Will Lewis presided over cuts at the Washington Post that Bale calls "utterly reprehensible," including eliminating international bureaus and the books section.●      Michael Wolff has spent three years trying to interest mainstream media in Trump-Epstein connections.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles climb back inside Donald Trump's mind at the very moment the Supreme Court humiliates him on tariffs—and he responds not with retreat, but with theatrical fury. From calling his own justices “fools” to turning a legal defeat into prime-time spectacle, they unpack how Trump transforms setbacks into legend, why the State of the Union could become a live-wire showdown with Chief Justice John Roberts, and what those colossal presidential banners draped across Washington really signal about dominance and power. Along the way, they dive into the bro-coded videos of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Pete Hegseth, the strange silence from Kash Patel on Epstein, and the unsettling mystery of a disappearance gripping the country—asking whether Trump governs as a president, a performer, or something closer to a monarch.

Karen Friedman Agnifilo and guest host Lisa Graves host the top-ranked law and politics podcast Legal AF and break down this week's most explosive legal and political developments at the intersection of law and democracy. From Fulton County officials calling a search warrant affidavit blatantly unconstitutional and lacking probable cause after a referral by a previously sanctioned election denier, to a sweeping TRO from Judge Rufe confronting slavery whitewashing, KFA and Lisa explain how these rulings test the limits of prosecutorial power and historical truth. They also dive into due process showdowns before Judge Xinis in the Abrego Garcia matter and Judge Boesberg over the case of 137 disappeared men, and what those orders mean for executive accountability. Finally, they tackle the political and legal fallout from Melania Trump opening a new front in federal court involving journalist Michael Wolff and revelations about her residence, before previewing the Supreme Court of the United States term's looming opinions on tariffs and other major cases.

From the El Paso airspace shutdown and the balloon-versus-drone fiasco to Fox News alumni now running Cabinet departments at odds with one another, they examine whether the chaos is incompetence—or a deliberate governing strategy built on fear, loyalty tests, and all-or-nothing stakes.

As Wolff argues that anti-SLAPP laws may become a frontline weapon against what he calls the White House's assault on free speech, he and Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty dissect the implications of Melania's alleged full-time life in New York, her separate Trump Tower apartment, and the branding empire she's quietly building. The conversation then widens to what Wolff portrays as a second administration defined by loyalty over competence: election denier Kurt Olsen rising to oversee election security, Pam Bondi's combative Hill performance, and the bizarre El Paso airspace shutdown involving secret lasers, drone claims, and bureaucratic bedlam.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to focus on one of Donald Trump's most revealing tools: the telephone. Drawing on decades of firsthand experience—from Trump's landline calls to New York Magazine in the 1990s to rambling, unsolicited calls as president—Wolff explains why Trump is almost never off the phone, why he hates email and paper trails, and how calling isn't about exchanging information so much as asserting dominance, rehearsing grievances, and never being alone. It's a portrait of a man who governs, leaks, vents, and connects almost entirely by voice—using the phone as both comfort object and command center—and a revealing look at how Trump's constant talking shapes his politics, his relationships, and his presidency.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles unravel a week in Trumpworld that veers from grotesque to outright dangerous, starting with Donald Trump's late-night Truth Social spiral and the racist meme depicting the Obamas that even members of his own party scrambled to disown. They dig into what aides privately describe as Trump “going over the edge,” why the media still struggles to describe these moments honestly, and how this behavior is no longer an exception but the operating system. From there, the conversation turns to Trump's jaw-dropping demand to rename Penn Station after himself—holding billions in federal infrastructure funding hostage in exchange for another monument to his name—and what that reveals about power, domination, and his obsession with owning physical and psychological space. The episode also explores the next weaponized phase of the Epstein files, Ghislaine Maxwell's looming testimony, and how conspiracy, grievance, and raw racism are colliding at the center of Trump's presidency—so is this just another scandal to scroll past, or a warning sign of something far more unstable still to come?

Then I do a deep dive into Bronwyn Newport's new relationship with model Brandon Goode — I'm breaking down who really orchestrated this public debut. Next I'm exposing a scandal brewing around Bozé Saint John from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and the IVF clinic she's been featuring on the show — Dr. Cindy Duke's Nevada Fertility Institute owes over $159,000 in rent, patients showed up to locked doors, and now people's embryos are at risk… this is getting very serious. I then give you a massive update on the Nancy Guthrie missing persons case — Savannah Guthrie's mom — including new details about the ransom notes, the kidnapper is likely someone deeply embedded in the Bitcoin community based on the cryptocurrency patterns I'm seeing. And THEN, I take you on a journey through the newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails — we're talking Frédéric Fekkai and a mysterious "Boom Boom" invitation involving Prince Andrew, Katie Couric getting coached by publicist Peggy Siegel on what to tell the press, Michael Wolff sharing intel about Steve Bannon and Trump, a jaw-dropping dinner party scheme to lure Woody Allen using Charlie Rose, George Stephanopoulos, Chris Cuomo and more, Soon-Yi Previn defending another famous predator to Epstein in a way that will make your skin crawl, Naomi Campbell's suspicious communication pattern that mirrors Ghislaine Maxwell's and Jean-Luc Brunel's, questions sent to Epstein about Donald Trump watching young girls and hidden cameras that I've never heard asked before, the Mossad connection mentioned 20 times including a bombshell exchange with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and a haunting email Epstein sent about Robert Maxwell threatening the Mossad that reads like a cryptic warning.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles as Trump aids declare the White House an “Epstein-free zone” where his name cannot be spoken. Wolff reveals how Trump's go-to tactic of personal attacks and distraction still works just enough to avoid answering the one question he can't touch, why the Epstein revelations are quietly reshuffling internal crises, and how figures from Deepak Chopra to Peter Mandelson to Silicon Valley's self-styled gurus keep orbiting the same corrupt universe. Then comes Trump's most compulsive, self-destructive obsession yet: his push to rebrand the Kennedy Center, justified by his own near-assassination fantasy and driven by a need to overwrite history with his name—even as artists flee, audiences vanish, and the politics make no sense.

They unpack Trump's rambling, defensive response to questions about Epstein flights, island denials, and the newly resurfaced claim—now echoed in official documents—that Epstein introduced Melania to Trump, a detail Trump world once tried to bury with billion-dollar legal threats. From Bill Gates and elite denial to Epstein's role as an information broker, the conversation widens to Trump's current obsession: federalizing elections, re-litigating 2020, and quietly laying the groundwork to undermine the 2026 midterms.

In 2003, Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein joined forces with a small group of high-powered figures, including Michael Wolff and Mortimer Zuckerman, in a bid to purchase New York Magazine. The group submitted a multimillion-dollar offer in hopes of seizing editorial control and rebranding themselves as major players in the media world. Although their bid ultimately failed—coming in second-lowest—the attempt reflected Epstein's broader interest in media ownership and narrative control. Not long after, he partnered again with Zuckerman to invest millions into another venture, Radar magazine, which fizzled out after only a few issues.What makes this story particularly disturbing is not the failure of the deal, but what it represented: two disgraced men with a history of predation trying to buy a platform that shapes public opinion. Epstein and Weinstein weren't just looking for financial investment—they were seeking cultural legitimacy and a shield from scrutiny. The attempted acquisition of a reputable magazine was a calculated move to soften their images and possibly bury or spin the stories that could one day undo them.

Today Donald Trump posted a White House salute to Bannon. The love is back! And Trump goes out of his way to condemn the “sleazebag author” Michael Wolff. Nice. Wolff lied to Bannon, betrayed confidence and blurted out in his book that Bnnon had called Ivanka “dumb as a brick”.
