A NYT Epstein Bombshell Drops — And Trump’s Agitated Speech Makes New Sense

from The Smerconish Podcast · host Michael Smerconish

In today’s episode, Michael Smerconish unpacks President Trump’s unusually rapid and partisan White House address — and explores whether a major New York Times investigation into Trump’s long-obscured friendship with Jeffrey Epstein helps explain the tone. Michael walks through the Times reporting, the president’s polling struggles, and why major networks seemed to ignore the story. Plus: the arrest of protesters in the U.K. for chanting “Globalize the Intifada” and what that means for free speech debates in the U.S. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
