The Epstein Firestorm Is Building

from America, America Hosted by Steven Beschloss

This On-Target video by Mark Jacob and me focuses on new revelations about Donald Trump and his sex predator friends Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. This New York Times article (gift link) provides some of the latest details and background of the unfolding story. A 2011 email from Epstein tells Maxwell that Trump “spent hours at my house” with one of Epstein’s underage victims. It’s also been reported that the Trump regime is not only giving Maxwell favors in prison, including custom meals and a therapy puppy, but Maxwell is preparing to formally ask for her prison sentence to be commuted. The truth surrounding Trump’s involvement will be increasingly hard to hide, now that Arizona Rep. Adelita Grijalva has finally been sworn in by House Speaker and Trump sycophant Mike Johnson. She represents the 218th signature for the discharge petition to force the House to vote on releasing the full Epstein files. “Justice cannot wait another day,” Grijalva said in her first speech today.

Speaking to Politics Mike Politics shape our world. The issues being decided in the halls of government every day have real and lasting impact on all our lives, but discussing politics is extremely unpleasant. It is very difficult today to have a calm, adult conversation about politics. Are the people screaming on TV, the radio, and online really who “we” are? Are they really representative of mainstream America or are they just really aggressive and loud? I believe the adults just got tired of it and walked away, but their silence is not consent. This podcast is the test of that theory. If you see fit to tune in, I will present news of the day, analysis and commentary while doing my best to check my feelings at the door and let you, the listeners, decide what it means to you. No ominous music, no angry rants, just a relaxed conversation and positive vibe. Politics, for reasonable people.
