It’s our best rate and it’s available to you right now.I want to thank Lev Parnas for last night's show. His massive audience heard six years of investigation that mainstream media won't touch.The Epstein story isn't about sex crimes. It's about foreign intelligence operations that compromised American leadership for decades.Epstein worked for Israeli military intelligence. I have two sources on the record: Steve Hoffenberg, who worked directly with Epstein at Towers Financial, and Ari Ben-Manashi, Robert Maxwell's former handler. Both confirm Epstein was an Israeli asset sent to compromise Democratic leadership.The mission succeeded. Epstein became Clinton's financial advisor and helped establish the Clinton Foundation. Democrats populate "the list" because they were targets, not customers.Trump operated differently. He wasn't Epstein's victim—he was his parallel. Both men specialized in financial crimes, both banked at Deutsche Bank's special clients division for wealthy but risky borrowers. The 1.7 miles between Mar-a-Lago and Epstein's mansion wasn't coincidence.Epstein's genius was destroying companies from within, always extracting exactly $450 million. Towers Financial, Bear Stearns, the Mirror Group—identical patterns of infiltration, collapse, and extraction.Then Lev dropped another bombshell!His sources provided an exclusive internal letter between Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Cash Patel, dated February 27th, 2025. Bondi admits receiving only "approximately 200 pages" initially before discovering "thousands of pages of documents" hidden in the FBI's New York field office.Her own words demand "all records, documents, audio, video, recordings, material related to Jeffrey Epstein and his clients" with "no withholdings or limitations."The administration knew exactly what they were covering up.The timing exposes everything. Netanyahu visited precisely when Trump announced the Epstein investigation was closed. After years of MAGA personalities building careers on promises to release "the list," Trump declared case closed.Even Alan Dershowitz confirmed names are being suppressed. Even MAGA's base recognizes the cover-up.This cracks MAGA's foundation because it exposes Trump's fundamental loyalty problem. His financial survival depended on Russian oligarchs and Israeli operations. When America's president owes foreign powers, American sovereignty becomes negotiable.Intelligence operations from Russia and Israel—countries whose agencies collaborate extensively—shaped this moment. Ukraine's abandoned defense, the Middle East's chaos, America's weakening institutions all trace back to compromised leadership.Lev's community response proves this story's power. His engaged audience understands what's at stake. Having the platform to reach people who truly care about democracy was invaluable.And our congrats to Lev for his selection as the recipient of the PILLAR AWARD for his tireless dedication to the truth and defending democracy.

Tonight @ 9 PM ET: The Secret Life Of Jeffrey Epstein RemasteredAt 9 PM tonight, we're re-airing critical portions of "The Secret Life of Jeffrey Epstein"—remastered and reedited—exactly six years to the day and hour since the original broadcast. These segments include the groundbreaking Hoffenberg and Ben-Manashi interviews, the financial crimes documentation, and surveillance evidence that first proved Epstein's intelligence connections.While the full investigation continues, tonight showcases the foundational reporting that exposed this network when Epstein was still alive.When we first broke these stories six years ago, critics dismissed them as conspiracy theories. But six years later, everything we've learned about Epstein continues vindicating this investigation. The intelligence connections, the financial crimes, the systematic compromise operations—all of it has been confirmed by subsequent revelations. And it provides the only credible reason Donald Trump is so concerned about the renewed interest in the Epstein Files. This is a public episode.
