From Epstein to Elections: A Democracy Check

from Point Taken with Steve Scaffidi & Kristin Brey

Kristin Brey is joined by guest co-host Todd Allbaugh for a wide-ranging conversation on accountability, democracy, and trust. They react to continued media layoffs, including at The Washington Post, and question why public outrage has faded over the partial release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. The show also features Lincoln Project senior advisor Trygve Olsen, who introduces his new AI platform designed to help repair relationships fractured by political division. Later, former Danish lawmaker Kristian Jensen provides context on Greenland’s role within Denmark and the strained U.S.–Denmark relationship amid renewed interest from President Trump. Kristin and Todd close with a discussion on voting rights legislation in Congress and a look at the Winter Olympics and the Super Bowl.
