This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit riveraandreeves.substack.comPrince Andrew just became the first British royal arrested in 400 years — and it has nothing to do with what the media is telling you. This week, Meseidy and Rachel break down the actual Epstein file charge, AOC’s disastrous Munich Security Conference debut (Spain, Taiwan, and Venezuela — she got zero for three), Marco Rubio’s standing-ovation keynote that’s making people say the quiet part loud about 2028, and the $2.5M con James Telerico just pulled off using a fake FCC censorship story. Plus: Republican midterm strategy is shifting hard to the economy, Democrats are planning to protest the State of the Union, Justice Alito might be heading for the exit, and American-born skier Eileen Gu is skiing for China’s millions while staying conveniently silent on the Uyghur genocide.Episode Highlights* Prince Andrew arrested — but not for what every outlet is claiming.
