• Trump Wants You To Stop Talking About Epstein

  MAGA’s Epstein revolt keeps growing — and despite Donald Trump’s pleas, it doesn’t look like it’s going away anytime soon. Elected officials get their first look inside “Alligator Alcatraz” and report seeing “disturbing, vile conditions.” Trump reverses his stance on Ukraine, issuing Putin a 50-day ultimatum. Favreau and Tommy break down the Jeffrey Epstein drama that erupted at the Turning Point USA Summit over the weekend; Trump’s new tariff threats against Russia, the European Union, and Brazil; and a new court ruling that could upend ICE operations in Los Angeles. They also discuss the timing of Biden’s New York Times autopen interview and J.D. Vance’s weekend trip to Disneyland, which featured an embarrassing video of the vice president attempting to run.
