Megyn Kelly on Epstein, MAGA Fury, the Loyalty Test Trump Didn’t Expect, Plus the End of the Elites

from Next Up with Mark Halperin · host MK Media

Today, Mark Halperin sits down exclusively with Megyn Kelly for a deep dive on Epstein, why the scandal hits Trump’s base in a uniquely personal way, and why it’s not the political deal breaker the left might hope. Megyn reveals the unanswered questions that still matter to MAGA, why firing Comey’s daughter isn't the "scalp" that will satisfy the need for accountability, and why Pam Bondi might be the story's next casualty. She also explains why this may be the closest Trump has come to his “shoot someone on Fifth Avenue” moment.Then, Mark’s report on how Jeffrey Epstein came to embody the populist revolt against elite power and institutional failure. He traces how the saga evolved from a lurid scandal into a potent political metaphor—and shares what Trump told him back in 2016 about Epstein as a looming problem long before it exploded into the mainstream. But did Trump see the scandal coming for him? Mark has the inside story.Done with Debt: https://www.DoneWithDebt.comAmerican Financing: Call American Financing today to find out how customers are saving an avg of $800/mo. 866-886-2026 or visit http://www.AmericanFinancing.net/Next .
