Podcast appearances and mentions of Pam Bondi

This week, Ron Steslow and Hagar Chemali (Fmr. spokesperson for the U.S. Mission to the UN) break down the newly released Epstein emails, what they show, what they don't and why the national security implications are far bigger than the headlines. They dig into Epstein's attempts to insert himself into global politics including offering Russia “insight” on Donald Trump and the strange connection between Larry Summers and China's Belt and Road Initiative  Then, they walk through why Congress forced the DOJ's hand, why Pam Bondi now controls what gets redacted, and why the lack of institutional trust means any carve-outs will only fuel more conspiracy and chaos. After that, they turn to Poland, where a Russian-backed sabotage attack on a key supply line to Ukraine has triggered a crisis inside NATO.     In Politicology+ they dive into back-to-back Oval Office visits from two Middle Eastern leaders, and what Trump's defense of the Saudi Crown Prince reveals about America's shifting posture in the region.  Not yet a Politicology+ member?

Nate & Charlie present the dumbest things to happen in politics this week!  

Join Right On Radio for a fast-moving, live episode that unpacks the buzzing political drama around sedition, treason and the charged phrase "punishable by death." The host opens with scripture in the show's Word on Word segment (Isaiah 43:2 and 1 Corinthians 1:4–5), a fundraiser update, and a promise to end with an uplifting story. Expect candid commentary, listener chat, and behind-the-scenes context for items dominating the week's headlines. The main segment explores what the host calls a multi-layered psychological operation: the back-and-forth between President Trump and Democrats over a viral video suggesting service members can refuse illegal orders, Trump's incendiary posts, and the broader messaging embedded in public appearances. The episode examines how these signals may be intended for different audiences and how familiar songs, social posts, and timing act as coded communications. Listeners will hear analysis of the Elon Musk–Trump split and recent rapprochement, the revived interest in the Epstein files and how that played into partisan strategies, plus a historical aside tying high-profile figures to long-running conspiratorial threads. Audio clips and references include Carl Higbee describing real-world consequences when political messaging intersects with military operations, and a breakdown of Executive Order 13773 and its potential to redefine coordinated, multi-agency responses to organized corruption. The show connects current events to enforcement actions at home: ICE roundups, NGO investigations, National Guard and military deployments, biometric security measures, and the political appointments that can accelerate or stall those efforts. The host discusses Pam Bondi, interagency politics, and the possible legal and operational tools being prepared behind the scenes. Also featured are critical takes on public figures and movements: a review of a Bill Clinton clip and related historical allegations, as well as an extended critique of Nick Fuentes—questioning his influence, possible grooming and role with young men, and how his rhetoric fits into broader cultural and religious narratives. Expect sourced clips, live reactions from the host, and comparisons to past political strategies. The episode blends hard analysis with lighter moments: a comedian's retelling of the Lazarus story, course announcements about decoding biblical patterns, and closing encouragement to love God, family, and neighbor. Guests and clips include Carl Higbee and archival comments from Bill Clinton and Nick Fuentes; the host weaves them into a thesis about accountability, national-security framing, and what might come next. Listeners should come away prepared for a mix of investigative theory, military and legal context, media decoding, and spiritual reflection. The episode promises concrete clips, close readings of public posts and policies, and a hopeful sign-off to send you into the weekend.

On this episode of Right On Radio, host Jeff takes listeners through a wide-ranging, high-perspective review of breaking developments: the latest around the Jeffrey Epstein file releases and mounting calls for accountability, a provocative financial blueprint from billionaire Bill Ackman to return Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to market ownership, and the idea of a U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund that could funnel dividends to citizens. Jeff breaks down Ackman's three-step proposal to convert taxpayers' stake in the GSEs into formal ownership, relist the companies on the stock market, and the broader implications for Trump-era plans to monetize public assets. He ties these financial shifts to ongoing political battles — attacks on the Federal Reserve, tariff dividends, and high-level stock and corporate stake moves. The show features and summarizes clips and statements from news figures and politicians: coverage of Rep. James Comer's push for subpoenas (including Bill and Hillary Clinton), commentary from Just the News/John Solomon, a critical look at Pam Bondi's DOJ press conference, Tucker Carlson's reactions, and Speaker Mike Johnson's national-security concerns about declassification. Jeff also highlights recent indictments and allegations — including a federal indictment involving Rep. Sheila Cherfilus McCormick and Nancy Mace's reporting on dismissed pedophilia cases in South Carolina — as signs of a growing justice narrative. Jeff contextualizes archival and investigative clips — from Geraldo Rivera's reporting to historical allegations of ritual abuse and international cases — to explain how these stories have circulated through media and why they matter now. He discusses the political theater surrounding release of evidence, the potential for rapid, targeted prosecutions, and the ways disclosure might upend existing power structures. The episode connects domestic revelations to global tensions: Britain's internal cultural and security flashpoints, reports of a Russian vessel mapping undersea infrastructure, the UN Board of Peace votes (and abstentions by China and Russia), and how geopolitical distraction can intersect with domestic scandal. Jeff argues these threads point to a larger transition in systems of power and calls for spiritual and community preparedness. Listeners are given a viewer-discretion warning before segments describing alleged abuse and ritualized crimes. The program also includes a short sponsor message for Coriolus versicolor immune-support supplements and information on supporting Right On Radio and Jeff's "Decoding the Power of Three" course. Expect analysis, sourced clips, speculation about how and when disclosures might land, and a combination of political, financial, and cultural commentary aimed at helping listeners see what Jeff describes as a convergence of events reshaping institutions and power.

This week, the House and Senate voted nearly unanimously to release all of the files related to the investigation into sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, after President Trump pulled a complete 180 and signaled his support. So how and why did things change? Alex speaks to Marina Lacerda, a survivor of Epstein's abuse, about why the release is so important for both a sense of justice and her personal healing. Then, Alex is joined by attorney and political commentator George Conway to talk about what the bill in Congress requires, and how to read into the defections of MAGA politicians like Marjorie Taylor Greene, which catalyzed the party's great reversal on the issue.

In breaking news, a federal judge questioned whether Trump's hand picked prosecutor Lindsey Halligan is a “puppet,” cross examines her and gets her to admit that the full grand jury NEVER saw the Comey indictment that was presented to the Court, and forces another novice prosecutor to admit that there is a secret memo that helps the defense that his bosses in Washington (ie. Todd Blanche and Pam Bondi) don't want the Judge or the defense to know about. Michael Popok reports on the many ways the Comey case may be dismissed by several judges in the next couple of weeks.

A federal judge on Wednesday grilled the DOJ during a hearing in Comey's case and questioned whether US Attorney Lindsey Halligan is a “puppet” for President Trump. Judge Nachmanoff, a Biden appointee, questioned Halligan during a hearing on James Comey's move to dismiss the federal criminal indictment. This begs the question, why hasn't Comey or the rest of the deep staters been incited anywhere else!? What is taking so long!? And the infighting in the GOP is ramping up!

//The Wire//2300Z November 19, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: UNREST EMERGES IN DEARBORN MICHIGAN AS ANTI-ISLAM DEMONSTRATIONS GET UNDERWAY. EPSTEIN FILES TRANSPARENCY ACT PASSES IN HOUSE AND SENATE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Michigan: Tensions have become inflamed following demonstrations over the past few days in Dearborn. The entire affair revolves around one man, Jake Lang, who is attempting to start an "America Against Islamification" movement in Dearborn. So far several clashes have been reported between Lang's group and residents.Analyst Comment: Jake Lang doesn't live in Dearborn, he lives in New York. He's also currently running for office in Florida, and attempting to unseat Ashley Moody from her Senate seat in 2026.Indiana: More details have come to light regarding a fatal traffic accident that occurred on I-65 in Boone County over the weekend. Goderdzi Gujabidze was driving a pickup truck hauling another vehicle on a trailer when he collided with a National Guard convoy. His truck collided with one HMMWV, killing one Guardsman, and wounding the three other soldiers inside the vehicle. Gujabidze was arrested by ICE on Monday, as he is an illegal immigrant from the nation of Georgia.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Congress, the bill to force the release of Epstein documents passed in the House and the Senate, and is expected to become law once signed by President Trump.As a reminder, President Trump has already mandated the release of these documents several times. In the world of classified documents, the President is an Original Classification Authority (OCA) so any documents that are classified for national security purposes always have been able to be released, so Congressional involvement was unnecessary. Additionally, the Binder Incident from just a few months ago cannot be forgotten either; this entire affair was already settled and allegedly on Pam Bondi's desk months ago. Now, every politician in the country is acting like we're examining this scandal for the first time.At least now, those protecting the Epstein clients are being a bit more honest. Rep. Mike Johnson stated that when more files are released, the documents will be heavily redacted, saying that "We can't release the full Epstein files without redactions due to National Security concerns" and that they need to "make sure we don't do permanent damage to the political system" by releasing the files. This of course led to the immediate assumption being that the Epstein network presenting national security concerns means that powerful elites are indeed implicated, and the US government will protect them to prevent the government from collapsing. Or at least, that's the current narrative that is now the official position of Congress and the White House.This afternoon, AG Bondi stated that a new investigation is ongoing, which will limit the release of most of what Congress just passed. Congress cannot order a federal agency to release documents pertaining to an ongoing investigation, so an ongoing investigation has miraculously materialized. This effectively nullifies the activities of the past few days, and will make sure nothing substantial is ever released.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

The Epstein scandal is far from over. Donald Trump has now signed the order to release the files, but if you think that means full transparency, think again. Statements from Pam Bondi and other Trump officials are raising major red flags about possible loopholes, restrictions, and last-minute excuses to keep certain documents hidden. Meanwhile, Trump is already calling for investigations into some of the names mentioned in the files…all Democrats, of course, never mind that his own name appears over 1,000 times. Will all the files actually be released? Will Donald Trump try to block or edit what comes out? Will everyone named face real accountability, or will MAGA weaponize this for political revenge while ignoring anything tied to Trump himself? This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Over the past few weeks, the cast of characters being welcomed and honored at the White House is an "interesting" list. Epstein just won't go away, so Pam Bondi has appointed a real bulldog to "investigate" the Epstein operation. And he's just the kind of person we should have expected.

Join Radell Lewis on the Purple Political Breakdown as we dive deep into the explosive Epstein files release that has both parties scrambling. After months of MAGA promises to release everything, why did Trump suddenly go quiet about his "best friend" Jeffrey Epstein?In this eye-opening episode, Radell and returning guest Elijah break down: The Epstein Files Bombshell: What's actually in the newly released documents and what's being redacted by Pam Bondi and the Trump administration Trump-Epstein Connection: Examining their documented "best friendship," Mar-a-Lago connections, and why Epstein claimed to have blackmail material on Trump Bipartisan Corruption: Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and other high-profile names appearing in the files - why Democrats aren't sweating while Republicans panic Government Transparency Crisis: How Mark Epstein (Jeffrey's brother) exposed the ongoing redaction process targeting Republican names The Prison "Suicide" Mystery: Breaking down the suspicious circumstances - failed cameras, missing guards, and isolated cells Political Weaponization: How both parties use transparency as a tool for power, not principleWe expose the hypocrisy of MAGA's campaign promises versus their current silence, analyze why Trump's administration is desperately trying to control the narrative, and discuss what this means for government accountability moving forward.Whether you're team red, blue, or purple, this nonpartisan analysis cuts through the spin to deliver the uncomfortable truths both parties don't want you to hear about the Epstein scandal, political corruption, and the real reason these files took so long to see daylight.Keywords: Epstein files, Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Ghislaine Maxwell, government transparency, political corruption, MAGA, Epstein list, Trump Epstein relationship, redacted documents, Pam Bondi, political scandal, bipartisan corruption, Epstein island, government cover-up, political hypocrisy, Purple Political Breakdown, Radell Lewis, nonpartisan political analysis New episodes every week | Subscribe for unfiltered political analysis Watch LIVE panels Wednesdays at 6:30 PM ESTStandard Resource Links & RecommendationsThe following organizations and platforms represent valuable resources for balanced political discourse and democratic participation: PODCAST NETWORKALIVE Podcast Network - Check out the ALIVE Network where you can catch a lot of great podcasts like my own, led by amazing Black voices.

Journalists just asked Pam Bondi of The Justice Dept whether she intends to follow the law.Imagine that—the nation pausing to wonder whether the Attorney General,the very steward of justice,the keeper of statutes and truth,will honor the rules she's sworn to defend.It's almost poetic…if it weren't so painfully absurd.Well, the pragmatist would say, the law is not a shackle. So they may follow it loosely.SMH. #Rulesoflaw #EpsteinFiles #lawBy Renaldo Mckenzie,, PhD (c), M.PhilAuthor of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance, https://store.theneoliberal.comCreator and Host, The Neoliberal Round https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal and The Neoliberal CorporationHttps://theneoliberal.com

With Speaker Mike Johnson furious over the Senate's version of the bill, Trump signaling possible objections, and Pam Bondi's “black Sharpie” powers still buried in the fine print, the whole process reeks of familiar Washington fog. From concerns about victim privacy to fears of releasing non-credible accusations, to the potential exposure of investigative methods, the bill's flaws raise more questions than answers. After months of political theater, influencer photo-ops, and promises of transparency, confidence is low and cynicism is earned. Forget it, America—it's Chinatown.

Joe Pags spotlights the explosive moment in Congress today as Nancy Mace publicly slams Rep. Corey Mills — and you'll understand exactly why he's now facing censure. Then, Rep. Brandon Gill steps up with a bold defense of America First, and Pags asks the obvious question: How is this even controversial in 2025? Finally — why is Ryan Wetting suddenly being labeled the “new drug lord”? Kash Patel and Pam Bondi break it all down, and Pags delivers the straight facts behind the headlines.

This past weekend — after months of deflection from the Trump administration — came a sudden tone shift from President Trump himself, who urged House Republicans to support a measure compelling the Justice Department to release the Epstein files. Mary and Andrew begin here, noting that Trump could just as easily release the files himself without a vote. Next, they review an order to release all grand jury material in James Comey's case, after the judge blasted the Justice Department for potential misconduct. And before wrapping up, Mary and Andrew head to the latest in the JGG case and Judge Boasberg's contempt proceeding, after a district court ruled to allow the case before him to proceed.  Sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts to listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads.

I came back from the UK expecting to ease into the week, and instead I walked straight into one of the wildest legislative twists I have seen in years. The Epstein files bill (HR 4405) cleared the House by way of a discharge petition and did so with only a single vote against it. I'll admit — did not take this seriously when it first appeared. I assumed it would stall in committee or die somewhere between the House and Senate. And now that I'm holding the text of the bill in my hands, it is obvious that this is very real and very close to becoming law. Donald Trump has already said he will sign it, and with a nearly unanimous House vote, it's hard to imagine the Senate blocking it.This portion of our story really begins last Tuesday when House Democrats released a new batch of Epstein related emails. The headline was an email in which Epstein told an associate that Donald Trump knew about his behavior and had spent time at his house with a girl later identified as Virginia Giuffre, though crucially, this email did not accuse Trump of participating in abuse. However, with the House reopened and Adelita Grijalva finally sworn in as its newest member, the discharge petition managed to mass on the exact same day — despite reports that Trump immediately called people like Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace urging them to pull their signatures.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Trump's reaction also says a lot here. On Thursday, Trump was furious, calling allies to warn them that he would rescind endorsements if they voted for the petition. The White House framed the anger as frustration that Republicans had given Democrats a politically useful victory. But by Friday, Trump reversed himself and said everyone should support the release since there was nothing to hide. Late Sunday, he doubled down again, telling reporters the files were long overdue and that Pam Bondi should open new investigations into Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, and Reid Hoffman. It was at that point that it became obvious that the bill was going to sail through. Even Speaker Mike Johnson voted for it — an unusual action considering discharge petitions are mechanisms designed to bypass the Speaker.The bill itself is sweeping. It orders the Attorney General to turn over internal DOJ communications related to charging decisions, investigations, destruction of records, detention details, and Epstein's death. It blocks the government from withholding records due to embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity. Only material that qualifies as child sexual abuse imagery or details an active investigation can be withheld.The winners in all of this are obvious. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna get enormous credit for pushing the discharge petition from the beginning. They stared down the White House and they won. The losers are just as clear. Trump took the biggest political hit because this never needed to become a fight in the first place. If he wanted the files released he could have released them. The notion that people like Kash Patel and Pam Bondi were acting on their own is nonsense. They do not freelance on something this sensitive. Trump might be trying to rewrite the narrative, but the timeline speaks for itself.Personally, I think the files have never been released because the conclusion reached is messy rather than clean. We know Epstein abused underage girls. We know Ghislaine Maxwell helped facilitate it. The open question is whether other powerful people committed crimes that can be clearly proved. If the files contain only partial hints or ambiguous associations, releasing them will satisfy no one. People will assume something is missing, especially considering just how conspiratorial this entire story feels. People build their own conclusions in the absence of official clarity, as we've seen since the death of Epstein himself.Still, the fact remains that this administration took an enormous and unnecessary political loss by fighting transparency that it had promised during the campaign. They went from inviting influencers to the White House for binders labeled Phase One to issuing a one page memo suggesting there was nothing further to see. We do not know what will emerge when the full set of records is released. We do know that the political consequences of this episode are locked in place. Everyone who pushed for transparency won. Everyone who resisted it lost. And once the documents are public nobody will be able to put the lid back on whatever comes next.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:38 - Epstein Files00:20:44 - Update00:22:36 - Saudi Crown Prince00:26:51 - Texas Maps Blocked00:28:09 - Tariff Checks00:31:10 - UK Politics, AI, and More with Tom Merritt01:09:36 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Tonight we're diving into Pam Bondi's absolutely disastrous press conference where she dodged and danced around every question, somehow managing to say nothing at all. It was a mess, and it raised even bigger questions about what the Trump administration is planning next. Are they preparing to block the release of the Epstein files? Are they trying to limit what the public gets to see? We'll break down her evasive answers, the political signals she tried (and failed) to send, and what all of this might mean for transparency, accountability, and the fight to get these files released.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has been the most loyal stooge out of Donald Trump's entire cabinet. She's also been his biggest failure. So far, everything that Bondi has done (on Trump's orders) has failed in the most hilarious ways imaginable, and those failures are going to become a point of contention for her and Trump if she continues to screw up. The latest disaster is her handling of the James Comey indictment that is about to be completely dismissed.Donald Trump has decided to try out his "sales pitch" for American voters on how he can help their economic struggles, and it isn't one that's going to leave anyone feeling better about their finances. At the McDonald's Impact Summit this week, Trump talked about affordability but only by saying that voters were "lucky" that he won the election instead of Kamala Harris. He then tried to pin all of the economic pain being felt today on Biden and Harris, something that voters are not buying for a second.Two months ago the media was tripping over itself to tell us that the Left is overly violent and vicious, and that we needed to tone down the rhetoric (even though statistics proved the exact opposite.) Those same media outlets are completely silent right now as Donald Trump's rabid base threatens the life of Marjorie Taylor Greene following a weekend of Trump calling her a "traitor" and other inflammatory names. Greene is garbage, there's no question about that, but the MAGA lunatics that are threatening her are even worse.The Trump administration is now testing out a new talking point for Americans who are struggling to afford basic necessities: Blame immigrants. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent launched the new talking point this week during an appearance on Fox News, where he falsely claimed that some of the high prices we're seeing right now are because of immigrants. The truth is that Trump's tariffs are the main driver of higher prices, and the LACK of migrant labor is also driving prices even higher than usual. Donald Trump made a shocking admission to reporters recently, saying that he had "no idea" why his doctors made him undergo an MRI. The obvious conclusion based on Trump's statement is that he's absolutely lying and he knows EXACTLY what they were looking for. But if we take his statement at face value then we have to assume that he's suffering from serious health problems that could be so bad that his doctors are afraid to tell him what's happening. There's also a third possibility that actually makes even more sense.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

In this explosive episode, we break down Donald Trump's historic approval slide and the self-inflicted controversies behind it, including the handling of the Epstein documents. From the tangled politics around their release to the mysterious blocking of key information, we examine who really controls the narrative—and who is left in the dark. We dive deep into the roles of figures like Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and federal agencies in the ongoing saga, uncovering alleged obstruction, stonewalling, and questionable alliances. Along the way, we expose how the media, politicians, and insiders may be shaping public perception while critical evidence remains sealed. This episode explores the intersection of politics, scandal, and accountability—raising uncomfortable questions about transparency and power in America.

More and more Republicans across the country are starting to stand up to Donald Trump and defy his orders, and it is driving him completely insane. He's now directing his wrath at Republicans in Indiana for refusing to vote to gerrymander their state the way that others have (and the other states have received intense backlash for doing so.) Trump is calling on MAGA acolytes to primary these Republicans, but he doesn't seem to understand that he's the one who has been exposed as a weak and feckless leader. Donald Trump is so desperate to distract everyone from the barrage of Epstein files being released that he's resorting to things that can only be described as comical. At the end of last week, he demanded that Pam Bondi start investigating Bill Clinton and several other prominent figures that are believed to have ties to Epstein, and Bondi immediately complied. But he's not fooling anyone, and his distraction efforts aren't doing anything to stop him from being completely consumed by this scandal. After roughly a year of being in complete limbo with odds increasing that it was going to die forever, the prosecution of Donald Trump in the state of Georgia is back on. A new prosecutor has agreed to take up the case after Fani Willis was removed and no other prosecutor was willing to take on such a daunting task. While the prosecution itself likely won't happen while Donald Trump is still in office, the fact that the case has effectively been revived is absolutely a positive development.Donald Trump's mental health has taken a turn for the worse, and that's not good for a man whose sanity and mental abilities were already questionable. But he has been hit with the perfect storm of problems in the month of November, and he doesn't know how to handle a single one of them. All he can do is get on Truth Social and scream into the void about how unfair everything is and how all of his problems are somehow just "hoaxes" being created by the Democratic Party. Donald Trump recently held a private dinner with some of the biggest CEOs in the country, and those who attended told reporters that Trump was basically asking them how to be president. Specifically, he was asking for advice on the issue of "affordability," even though he proclaimed on social media just days later that "affordability is a joke." The man has absolutely no idea what he's doing or how to be a leader, and his plea to business leaders is just further proof of that. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

For those in the back - the big, broad-scope call to "release the Epstein files" did not begin until Pam Bondi said she had the client list "on her desk," and then months later said the list didn't exist. The Biden White House did not face these same calls for transparency and they couldn't have released these files anyway

SEASON 4 EPISODE 34: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: So, will he? I mean you don't think he's serious about WANTING them released, do you? He's just trying to avoid a 100-vote defeat. Note he hasn't asked the Senate to pass a bill. And he's already throwing out "what can be legally released" caveats - like he cares. And Trump is still threatening to prosecute President Clinton. He's thrown Marjorie Taylor Greene under the bus. He's destroyed the House and the DOJ. He's invoking The Streisand Effect and insisted we all stop talking about it. His Government Shutdown ran out of gas - what does he do now? He's terrified of what's in there, to the point where Senator Chris Murphy said it's enough to potentially end his presidency. I mean Alexander Haig and others told Nixon to burn the Watergate tapes, in public, with the media present and Haig says Nixon asked him to do it but Haig demurred and later says it was the biggest mistake ever. So? Will Trump destroy the Epstein Files? Burn them, bury them, dump them, or order Kash Patel or Pam Bondi or just Walt Nauta to do it? And can Democrats make Epstein and what is at minimum Trump's protection of pedophiles the centerpiece of the midterms? To explain to voters that burying the files is why Trump is gerrymandering and trying to fix or cancel those midterms? If he doesn't destroy them, does he destroy the process by which they could get out? Does he destroy what's left of democracy? The full monty of authoritarianism? And as an aside, when he was even willing to change the topic from Epstein to his MRI last month, did anybody else note that he made a remark as crazy as anything ever said by - anybody? That he had no idea what part of his body they MRI'd but he had the greatest MRI ever? What if he's not crazy, lying, or unable to understand what an MRI is? What if that's true? Was he unconscious? Sedated? Did they just surprise him? What are the implications for the theories that he's being treated for some form of dementia? Or: Maybe they MRI’d Trump looking to see if he stuffed the Epstein files up his...assisted living facility. PLUS: The self-beclowning of Stephen A. Smith continues. He can't figure out why Gavin Newsom and AOC and other Democrats won't come on his new political podcast: "I'm A Right Wing Dupe." And Olivia Nuzzi's new book is about to arrive and I have only one detail to address, but I have two big fears. What if her publicity tours include interviews with Ingraham on Fox and Tur on MSNOW? Lol B-Block (34:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: JD Vance wants us to believe all those undocumented immigrants are stealing SNAP benefits, eating pets and driving up home prices by snapping up $500,000 houses. It seems like Eric Trump just said his wife charges him a fee to have a glass of wine with her. And Megyn Kelly explains Jeffrey Epstein wasn't technically a pedophile and the age of the victim makes a difference, after a career filled with her screaming at anybody else who suggested exactly the same thing. C-Block (45:00) IN MEMORY OF MISHU: It's the fourth anniversary of the month my late hospice puppy with the incurable, untreatable heart condition, taught me one of the meanings of life. I like to remember him; I hope you'll remember him with me.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Don't lose sight of what matters here. Donald Trump is doing everything he possibly can to keep the Epstein files hidden. Even coming out last night and telling the House to vote to release the files. It's all an elaborate act. He and Pam Bondi will not allow the public to see those files. It's a great cover up. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Pam Bondi did two totally reckless things yesterday: re-ratify the indictment Lindsey Halligan obtained against Jim Comey, and immediately agree to investigate Democrats' involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.

CannCon and Zak Paine tear into a massive morning of political chaos, media spin, and narrative warfare in this loaded episode of Badlands Daily. They break down USAID-funded media collapse, the absurdity of the Epstein email frenzy, and how every “bombshell” continues to blow back on Democrats instead of Trump. As the hosts walk through Dershowitz clips, Politico narratives, Plaskett's exposed text messages, and Trump's pointed Truth Social posts demanding the release of Epstein files, they lay out why the story looks less like a scandal for Trump, and more like a trap sprung on his enemies. The conversation intensifies with new hit pieces from NPR and Media Matters targeting Badlands hosts, dissecting why establishment media is suddenly panicked about the “Trump-as-informant” theory. CannCon and Zak dive into the mechanics of lawfare, DOJ maneuvers, Pam Bondi's involvement, SDNY strategy, the unfolding J6 pipe bomber controversy, and the timing of federal investigations hinted at by Cash Patel. With humor, receipts, and sharp analysis, they expose the layers of psyops, midterm setups, and narrative control attempts swirling through the political ecosystem.

Presa internațională continuă să comenteze situația de pe scena politică americană, după ce, vineri, Departamentul de Justiție a declarat că va îndeplini cererea președintelui Donald Trump de a investiga legăturile infractorului sexual  Jeffrey Epstein cu fostul președinte democrat Bill Clinton și cu compania JP Morgan. Totul, după ce o comisie a Congresului a publicat mii de documente care au ridicat noi semne de întrebare cu privire la relația lui Trump cu Epstein, observă comentatorii. „Departamentul de Justiție va investiga legăturile lui Epstein, dar nu cu Trump”, sintetizează The New York Times. „Când numeroase e-mailuri ale lui Jeffrey Epstein au fost publicate săptămâna aceasta, numele lui Donald J. Trump era peste tot. Totuși, vineri, când el a cerut ca Departamentul de Justiție să investigheze o listă de figuri influente menționate în aceste e-mailuri, propriul său nume a lipsit”. Ziarul remarcă și faptul că secretara pentru justiție, Pam Bondi s-a conformat solicitării, ”chiar dacă, cu doar patru luni mai devreme, același Departament de Justiție declarase oficial că nimic din dosarele Epstein nu justifica investigații suplimentare”. Potrivit Reuters, ”Trump încearcă să mute atenția de la relația sa cu infractorul sexual condamnat. Scandalul Epstein a fost un ghimpe politic în coasta lui Trump timp de luni de zile, parțial pentru că a amplificat teoriile conspirației despre Epstein în fața propriilor susținători. Aceasta este doar cea mai recentă dintr-o serie de solicitări ale lui Trump către organismele federale de a-i urmări pe presupușii săi dușmani politici”. Citeste si”E-mailurile Epstein” îl pun pe Donald Trump într-o situație dificilă The Washington Post relatează că „Trump a evidențiat trei persoane: Bill Clinton, fostul secretar al Trezoreriei Lawrence H. Summers, și Reid Hoffman, fondatorul LinkedIn și un donator important al Partidului Democrat. Toți au avut relații cu Epstein de ani de zile”, subliniază cotidianul american, citat ce Courrier International. National Review amintește că „În timpul președinției lui Clinton, Epstein a vizitat Casa Albă în mai multe rânduri, iar înregistrările de zbor arată că fostul președinte a călătorit cu avionul său privat de 26 de ori în timpul relației lor, care s-a încheiat în jurul anului 2003. (...) Numele lui Clinton a fost menționat și în procedurile judiciare anterioare dar nu au fost formulate acuzații credibile împotriva lui”, observă revista. ”Trump a sugerat în campania electorală de anul trecut că va încerca să deschidă dosarele Epstein”, amintește National Public Radio. ”Dar el a schimbat cursul în ultimele luni, dând vina pe democrați și prezentând problema drept o farsă”. Vorbind despre proiectul de lege privind declasificarea dosarului Epstein, care va fi supus la vot în această săptămână în Camera Reprezentanților, The Intercept afirmă că ”totul se va putea transforma într-o problemă structurală”:    ”Pe de o parte, Trump se confruntă cu un electorat care își dorește în mod covârșitor să fie publicate toate înregistrările și care crede deja că administrația ascunde ce e mai rău. Pe de altă parte, se confruntă cu un Congres care, pentru prima dată, se îndreaptă către o coaliție formată din democrați progresiști ​​și republicani libertarieni. Dacă proiectul de lege trece de Senat și Trump îl semnează, pierde complet controlul asupra documentelor - și a discursului”.

This week on The Necessary Conversation, Haley is back from vacation, Bob chickened out, and things get heated fast as we dive into the most explosive week of Trump's second term yet — from the release of the Epstein emails to Ghislaine Maxwell's special treatment to Democrats folding under Republican pressure.

In a move widely criticized as politically motivated and structurally compromised, former SEC chairman Jay Clayton—who previously worked closely with Apollo Global Management, the private-equity firm led for decades by Jeffrey Epstein associate Leon Black—was appointed to oversee an investigation into Epstein's alleged ties to Donald Trump's political adversaries. Critics argue that placing someone so closely connected to a firm entangled in Epstein's financial orbit fundamentally undermines the credibility of the inquiry. While the announcement was framed as a push for transparency, the decision raised immediate concerns about conflicts of interest and selective scrutiny. Observers note that when Trump publicly demanded investigations into his opponents, he conspicuously avoided referencing Black or Les Wexner, another figure long linked to Epstein, fueling allegations that the appointment was designed to protect insiders rather than expose them.The broader controversy highlights what many see as a calculated effort to contain the fallout from newly surfaced Epstein-related communications that could implicate individuals across both political parties. Rather than pursuing a comprehensive accounting, the administration's strategy appears focused on limiting exposure and reframing the narrative toward partisan targets. Survivors of Epstein's abuse and their advocates have expressed frustration that those with direct proximity to Epstein—financially and personally—continue to remain shielded while public attention is redirected. Critics contend that the government's approach resembles damage control rather than a legitimate pursuit of justice, reinforcing suspicions that political and financial interests, rather than accountability, are driving decisions at the highest levels.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In a move widely criticized as politically motivated and structurally compromised, former SEC chairman Jay Clayton—who previously worked closely with Apollo Global Management, the private-equity firm led for decades by Jeffrey Epstein associate Leon Black—was appointed to oversee an investigation into Epstein's alleged ties to Donald Trump's political adversaries. Critics argue that placing someone so closely connected to a firm entangled in Epstein's financial orbit fundamentally undermines the credibility of the inquiry. While the announcement was framed as a push for transparency, the decision raised immediate concerns about conflicts of interest and selective scrutiny. Observers note that when Trump publicly demanded investigations into his opponents, he conspicuously avoided referencing Black or Les Wexner, another figure long linked to Epstein, fueling allegations that the appointment was designed to protect insiders rather than expose them.The broader controversy highlights what many see as a calculated effort to contain the fallout from newly surfaced Epstein-related communications that could implicate individuals across both political parties. Rather than pursuing a comprehensive accounting, the administration's strategy appears focused on limiting exposure and reframing the narrative toward partisan targets. Survivors of Epstein's abuse and their advocates have expressed frustration that those with direct proximity to Epstein—financially and personally—continue to remain shielded while public attention is redirected. Critics contend that the government's approach resembles damage control rather than a legitimate pursuit of justice, reinforcing suspicions that political and financial interests, rather than accountability, are driving decisions at the highest levels.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Two weeks ago, Gaslit Nation pointed out that Vance is grooming the Christian nationalist movement to accept him as Trump's replacement. Turns out Vance knew–they all knew–that the Epstein paper trail was radioactive. The House released explosive Epstein documents that confirm what Gaslit Nation listeners already knew: the real story is not what's been revealed, but what's still being buried. We will continue to unpack this story as it develops, including the Kremlin connection as Epstein tried to advise Russia when it came to Trump.  For now, the Big Takeaways:  The emails released came from the Epstein estate. So what might Trump's DOJ and FBI be sitting on?: Photos, videos, and unredacted FBI and CIA files. Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown, whose investigations helped bring down Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and the resignation of Trump labor secretary Alex Acosta who gave Epstein a "sweetheart deal" and was rewarded with a White House cabinet position, confirmed that thousands of records remain hidden, including: Epstein's original 2008 sex-trafficking indictment draft Search warrants from 2005 and 2019 raids Full lists of possible suspects and accomplices Witness statements and FBI and CIA files Autopsy and investigatory interviews into Epstein's death in prison The new release contains an April 2011 email from Epstein to Maxwell indicating that she misled the DOJ: she knew Trump had spent hours at Epstein's mansion with one of his victims. Epstein himself confirmed Trump's guilt, writing: "I have met some very bad people, none as bad as Trump." Epstein confirms that Trump knew about his pedophile ring. Of course he knew: That's why they were friends. The Epstein/Trump dump exposes Larry Summers, Clinton's Treasury Secretary and an economic adviser to Obama, decrying the MeToo movement in a private email to Epstein and making a sexist joke about women being stupid. Summers was the former president of Harvard University. Michael Wolff, media gossip profiteer and Trump whisperer, provided Epstein and sometimes Trump via Epstein with media consulting–in exchange for access to write his bestselling books. He was even Epstein's behind-the-scenes PR fixer during the Miami Herald investigations. Given that Epstein's victims have successfully sued banks for managing Epstein's human trafficking money, expect to see cases brought against Wolff. MAGA world is imploding. Trump huddled in the Situation Room with Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Lauren Boebert to stop the House vote. Boebert reportedly refused–likely because she faces a tough re-election campaign in a blue wave year. A new Democratic majority that finally includes Rep. Adelita Grijalva of Arizona will get their House vote to force the release of the full Epstein files. Once it passes the House, it still needs to clear 60 votes in the Senate. Trump is expected to veto it–after he and the MAGA disinformation machine ran on releasing the Epstein files, even accusing Biden of molesting his own daughter.

In breaking news, a Federal judge seems poised to disqualify Trump's hand-picked novice prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, as having been illegally appointed, calling the indictments of NYAG Tish James and Former FBI Dir. James Comey into question as well. Michael Popok explains how Judge Currie was not happy that 2 hours of Grand Jury transcripts are missing and cornered the Trump team several times, including questioning if the DOJ agreed with Judge Cannon's decision in Trump's favor in the Mar a Lago case about special attorney appointment, questioning how Pam Bondi could have “ratified” by back dating a document filed with the Court if there was no transcript of what Halligan did in the last 2 hours?

As Americans increasingly struggle to afford basic necessities like food, Donald Trump continues to insist that the problem isn't real. In fact, he went beyond just calling it not real and actually concocted an elaborate conspiracy as to why people "think" that prices are high. The man has lost any and all touch with reality, and his denials of our problems are going to make things so much worse for all of us. Pam Bondi's Department of Justice was forced to admit to a federal judge this week that they made a major mistake - but they swear that they won't do it again. The mistake - which they have made in multiple different prosecutions - is that they blabbed about the case on social media and demonized the defendant, thereby tainting the entire potential jury pool. This particular case involves a prosecution that began under Alina Habba in New Jersey after she indicted a sitting lawmaker on bogus charges. During his disastrous appearance on Laura Ingraham's Fox News program this week, Donald Trump claimed that "no one knows what a magnet is." He didn't say that no one knows how they work - he literally said no one knows what they ARE. This brings us to the latest edition of "If Biden had done this," because the media would have been calling for Joe's immediate resignation if he ever said anything even remotely as insane as this. But Trump, as usual, gets a free pass from the media and therefore the public to continue to show off his dementia. In spite of the staggering number of problems that the President of the United States should be dealing with, Donald Trump sent his lawyers to the Supreme Court this week to file a motion asking them to overturn the verdict against him from the first defamation lawsuit from E. Jean Carroll. That particular verdict has already been upheld by two appellate courts, but that isn't stopping Trump from asking his good friends on the Supreme Court to step in and save him from the mess he created for himself. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

“Leave aside the cruelty of not giving these funds out,” Andrew says, reflecting on the SNAP benefits case now before the Supreme Court. “What does it say that we're not prioritizing hunger as an issue?” Then, Mary brings listeners up to speed on the dizzying chain of events since Friday and where the SNAP case stands, even as the Senate and House appear to be moving towards reopening the government. And in honoring Veterans Day, Mary and Andrew dig into several issues affecting service members, including the latest filing in Trump v Illinois, and how to think about the term "regular forces", plus Judge Immergut's final order prohibiting the National Guard deployment in Portland. And finally, Just Security's co-editor in chief, Tess Bridgeman, joins to analyze what the law says— and doesn't say-- about blowing up boats in international waters without a clear justification or congressional authorization.Further reading: Judge Wolf's piece in The Atlantic: Why I Am Resigning.

In recent days we've seen several points of lights piercing through the Trump-induced darkness. First, a Trump-appointed judge, Karin Immergut, has issued a permanent injunction prohibiting Trump from deploying National Guard troops to the streets of Portland. Second, in a clear repudiation of prosecutorial overreach and abuse by Attorney General Pam Bondi and DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, a DC jury has now acquitted - found not guilty - the man who threw a Subway sandwich at a federal officer.Glenn discusses the implications of these two new legal developments.
