'It is not going away': Enten on Epstein files' effect on Trump admin


The video discusses the ongoing public interest in the Epstein case and its political implications for Donald Trump (0:00). Google searches for "Epstein" are at an all-time high, with "Donald Trump" being the most associated search term (0:12).

Here's a breakdown of the key points:

Political Impact on Trump: The Epstein case is identified as Trump's worst political issue, with a -39 net approval rating (1:05-1:54). Even among Republicans, Trump's approval on the Epstein case is significantly lower compared to other issues, standing at 55% approval (2:02-2:40).
Hillary Clinton's Accusations: Hillary Clinton accuses the Trump administration of a "continuing cover-up" regarding the release of Epstein files (2:44-2:52). She claims the Clintons are being unfairly singled out by Republicans to divert attention from President Trump's ties to Epstein (3:46, 7:44-7:50). She also clarifies a photo of Bill Clinton, stating it was taken during philanthropic work, long before public awareness of Epstein's crimes (4:28-4:54).
Epstein Fallout for Others:
Tom Pritzker, executive chairman of Hyatt Hotels, stepped down due to his association with Epstein, regretting his "terrible judgment" (6:05-6:33, 7:11-7:20).
Six companies linked to Sarah Ferguson (ex-wife of Prince Andrew) are set to shut down amid the Epstein fallout (6:34-6:50).
The LA Mayor calls for the head of the LA Olympics, Casey Wasserman, to step down due to "flirtatious emails" with Ghislaine Maxwell, which are causing a "distraction" for the 2028 games (6:52-7:08).
Upcoming Depositions: Both Hillary and Bill Clinton are expected to appear for closed-door depositions in the House's Epstein probe later this month (5:20-5:24, 5:53-5:59, 7:36-7:42). Hillary Clinton has stated she prefers an open hearing (5:37-5:39).

Civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson dead at age 84


The video reports on the passing of Reverend Jesse Jackson at the age of 84, highlighting his profound impact as a civil rights leader who reshaped the Democratic Party and American society (0:00).

Key aspects of his life and legacy include:

Early Life and Civil Rights Movement (0:32): Born in Greenville, South Carolina, Jackson's early experiences with racial segregation fueled his commitment to the civil rights movement. He joined Martin Luther King Jr. in 1965, learning from him and later leading Operation Bread Basket in Chicago, an economic justice campaign for Black people (0:38-1:10).
King's Assassination and Operation Push (1:46): The assassination of King in 1968 was a defining moment for Jackson. Years later, he formed Operation Push, advocating for economic opportunities for Black workers and customers, and promoting Black responsibility (1:56-2:11).
Global Reach and Political Campaigns (2:17): Jackson expanded his influence globally, helping to free Americans held in Syria, Cuba, and Serbia. He also made historic runs for the U.S. presidency in 1984 and 1988, significantly impacting the Democratic Party's election process by shifting it from "smoke-filled back rooms" to a delegate fight (2:30-5:45).
Bridge to Obama and Modern Politics (5:01): Jesse Jackson is described as a crucial bridge between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s movement and the election of Barack Obama. His campaigns laid the groundwork for a broader, more inclusive Democratic Party, focusing on economic justice and coalition-building among diverse groups, a strategy seen in later campaigns like Bernie Sanders' (6:09-7:25).
Relationship with Barack Obama (5:10): While Jackson paved the way for Obama's presidency, their relationship was complex and at times tense. Jackson felt Obama didn't give him due respect and openly criticized Obama for "talking down to Black men" regarding their responsibilities (8:00-9:32). Despite this, their families remained close due to their shared roots in the South Side of Chicago (9:32-9:42).
Later Life and Continued Activism (3:33): Even after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2017, Jackson continued his fight for justice, participating in demonstrations for voting rights and silently protesting at the trial of Ahmaud Arbery's killers (3:45-3:59). His iconic chant "I am Somebody" (4:00) symbolized his unwavering voice for justice from the Jim Crow South to the Black Lives Matter movement (4:06-4:14).

Epstein Files: DOJ names Elvis & other ‘politically exposed persons’


The Department of Justice's (DOJ) recent release of "politically exposed persons" from the Jeffrey Epstein files has caused bipartisan frustration in Congress (0:00). The list includes prominent figures like Janis Joplin and Pope John Paul II, who are mentioned without context (0:15). Some lawmakers argue this is an attempt to muddy the waters between predators and those simply mentioned in passing (0:28).

Highlights from the video include:

Tom Pritzker steps down: Billionaire Tom Pritzker resigned as executive chairman of Hyatt Hotels due to his ties to Epstein, expressing regret for his association (0:35).
DOJ's six-page letter: The DOJ sent Congress a letter listing hundreds of prominent people in the Epstein files, but being mentioned doesn't necessarily imply wrongdoing. For example, Elvis Presley, who died almost 50 years ago, is on the list (0:47).
Concerns about transparency: Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), a member of the Oversight Committee, describes the release as "selective" and indicative of an agenda that undermines public trust in Washington's leadership (1:46). She also highlighted that she was unable to view unredacted documents despite being granted access (2:51).
"Get real" reaction from Congressman Swalwell: Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, dismissed the list as "nonsense" (5:10). He emphasized that the American people want justice and that those trying to "muddy" the waters will not succeed (5:34). He also noted that Donald Trump is mentioned most frequently in the files (6:18), and accused the Department of Justice of a "cover-up job" (7:13).
Royal family involvement: Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie of Britain's royal family were named multiple times in the files, thrusting them into the spotlight (8:42). Emails indicate they visited Epstein in Miami in 2009, just five days after his release from jail (9:15). Epstein also appeared to pay for their flights to the US (9:50). While there's no suggestion of wrongdoing on their part, the files contradict previous statements by their mother, Sarah Ferguson, about cutting ties with Epstein (10:18).

Trump's Polling Is So Low That Even Data Gurus Are SHOCKED


In this video, Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss Donald Trump's historically low approval ratings (0:00).

Trump's Declining Approval (0:00-0:35):

According to various pollsters (AP-Norc, NBC, Yahoo-YouGov, Quinnipiac), Trump's net approval ratings are at a second-term low, ranging from -19 to -26 points.
This indicates he has "fallen through" what was previously considered his "floor" of support.
Comparison to Previous Terms and Biden (1:12-2:13):

Trump's current approval rating is worse than his first term (1:23) (then -17 points) and worse than Joe Biden's at the same point in his first term (1:44) (then -13 points).
The hosts draw a parallel to Biden's situation, where low approval led to his party losing the House and his not being re-elected.
Reasons for the Decline (2:14-8:06):

The primary reason cited is the economy, which Americans consistently rank as their top issue (2:23).
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) revised the official count of payroll jobs at the end of 2025 downward by over 1 million (2:38-3:49), and the estimated net jobs added in 2025 were slashed by over 50%.
Job growth is slowing, with the US adding only 15,000 jobs per month on average in 2025, largely concentrated in the healthcare sector due to an aging population (3:50-5:23).
The hosts also point to the Epstein files issue (6:57) as breaking trust with Trump's voters, making them more receptive to economic realities like rising prices and failed tariffs.
Call for True Leadership (8:08-10:51):

The hosts conclude by emphasizing that Americans are desperate for leadership that truly represents and cares for them, rather than prioritizing wars or donor interests (8:10).
Ana Kasparian expresses concern that if Democrats fail to address these issues, the country could face a "scary" future, with the rise of figures like JD Vance, whom she describes as a "post-liberal Republican" who doesn't believe in democracy (9:11).
She links this to Silicon Valley's obsession with beating China in AI and the potential erosion of privacy rights (10:05) in that pursuit.

Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature


In this interview, Texas State Representative James Talarico discusses his campaign for the United States Senate and various political issues (0:09).

Key topics include:

Corporate Media and First Amendment Rights (1:51): Talarico criticizes corporate media executives for compromising the First Amendment to gain favor with politicians.
Texas Political Landscape (2:41): Despite Donald Trump winning Texas by a significant margin, Talarico believes Democrats have a chance this year due to growing backlash against extremism and corruption, highlighting a grassroots movement with thousands of volunteers and shattered fundraising records.
Christianity and Politics (4:11): As a Presbyterian seminarian, Talarico challenges the co-option of Christianity by the political right. He emphasizes that Christian principles, based on the teachings of Jesus, prioritize loving one's neighbor and helping the vulnerable over political affiliations or issues like abortion and gay marriage (5:05). He argues against Christian nationalism, stating it's a "worship of power in the name of Christ" and a betrayal of Jesus (8:04).
Separation of Church and State (6:25): Talarico explains his fight for the separation of church and state, citing his opposition to a bill requiring the Ten Commandments in schools. He believes this separation is vital for both the state and the church, as the church loses its prophetic voice when it becomes too involved with political power (7:11).
Campaign Misinformation (9:58): Talarico addresses a false quote attributed to him regarding a political opponent, clarifying that while he critiqued their campaigning, he never made racist remarks. He stresses the importance of lowering the political temperature and focusing on winning elections.
"Culture Wars" as a Diversion (12:10): Talarico discusses a bizarre legislative incident involving an internet hoax about "furries" in Texas schools. He uses this example to illustrate how "culture wars" are often a "smoke screen" to distract from more critical issues like economic policies that benefit the wealthy at the expense of ordinary citizens (13:44).

Trump's History with Epstein Pt. 6 | The Daily Show


This Daily Show segment, "Trump's History with Epstein Pt. 6," satirically dissects newly released documents and images related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Key points include:

Epstein Island's appearance (0:13): New photos reveal Epstein's notorious Caribbean estate looked surprisingly unimpressive, described as a "two-star Airbnb" (1:15) with questionable furniture arrangements (1:37).
Puzzling "study" details (2:35): A blackboard in Epstein's study contained scribbled words like "power," "deception," and "plots" (2:37-2:56), alongside a strange "dentist chair" room (3:16) with masks (3:20), later explained as being for a girlfriend studying dentistry (3:55).
Groundhog Day for Epstein files (4:42): The host sarcastically calls the repeated release of Epstein documents "Groundhog Day" due to the ongoing lack of new prosecutable information and the perceived shielding of elites (5:00).
Elon Musk's emails (10:06): The video highlights emails from Elon Musk to Epstein, including one on Christmas Day where Musk asks about parties (10:30). Musk's defensive response to the revelations is also discussed (11:52).
Howard Lutnick's changing story (13:37): Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's claims of cutting ties with Epstein in 2005 are undermined by new files showing he tried to contact Epstein multiple times afterward (16:08).
Lack of accountability (17:52): The segment concludes by criticizing the apparent lack of legal accountability for powerful individuals mentioned in the Epstein files, drawing a parallel to a "sanctuary city" for the wealthy where money and power protect them from consequences (21:43).

The Epstein Files and the 100 Most Powerful Figures




Elites Forced To RESIGN After Epstein Files Expose Them


The video discusses the resignations of Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem and Katherine Rumler due to their ties with Jeffrey Epstein (0:50, 2:21).

Here are the key points:

Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem's Resignation (0:46-0:56): Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, CEO of Dubai port operator DP World, resigned because of his close relationship with Epstein. Their friendship dated back to at least 2006 and continued until Epstein's death (1:00-1:05). Epstein even claimed that Bin Sulayem was "basically in charge of the port" (1:10-1:13). Their association reportedly helped build the partnership between Israel and the UAE (1:15-1:16). The video mentions that the Dubai port, run by Bin Sulayem, was unique for not requiring customs, making it a hub for illicit activities (6:41-7:05).
Katherine Rumler's Resignation (2:21-2:27): Katherine Rumler, general counsel for Goldman Sachs and former White House counsel under Barack Obama, also stepped down due to her connections with Epstein. Epstein provided her with various gifts, including money and luxury items (2:40-2:58). Rumler was scheduled to visit Epstein's island in 2017, and in early 2019, she gave him advice on how to dispute claims about his 2008 plea deal (3:06-3:29). She was even briefly listed as a backup executor of Epstein's will (3:34-3:37).
Government and Media Complicity (4:20-5:31): The hosts express frustration that the government and media have allegedly covered up information related to Epstein's activities for decades. They claim that the government knew about Epstein's actions but chose to protect the predators instead of the victims (5:37-5:50).
Israel Connection (5:56-6:05, 9:25-9:42): The video repeatedly highlights a strong connection between Epstein's network and Israel, suggesting that the protection offered to Epstein by various entities might be related to this connection. They mention Epstein's donation to the IDF (11:15-11:18) and the release of Israeli spies after 9/11 (12:00-12:08) as further evidence of this alleged influence.

Jeffrey Epstein: The Autopsy Details No One Is Talking About


In this video, Lauren the Mortician discusses the controversial death of Jeffrey Epstein, focusing on the autopsy details and surrounding circumstances (0:00). She highlights new information from an interview with Epstein's brother on Megyn Kelly's podcast, where autopsy photos, including one of his neck, were shared for the first time (0:20-0:32).

Key points and concerns raised by Lauren include:

Unusual Markings (0:59-1:02): The ligature marks on Epstein's neck do not appear "textbook" for a self-unnaliving by suspension. She notes the mark is mid-neck and horizontal, lacking the typical upward tracking seen in such cases (10:02).
Epstein was arrested on July 6, 2019, and found injured in his cell on July 23, with a bedsheet around his neck (2:33-3:04). He claimed his cellmate attacked him (3:26).
He was placed on suicide watch but removed a week later (4:02-4:13).
The night he died, his cellmate was released, leaving him alone (4:31-4:40).
Guards allegedly failed to conduct required 30-minute checks for 8 hours (4:56-5:02).
Epstein was found unresponsive on August 10 at 6:30 AM (5:28-5:34).
Autopsy Findings and Disagreements (6:00-8:18): Epstein's brother, Mark Epstein, hired forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden to observe the autopsy (6:27-6:32).
Dr. Baden estimated the time of death around 4:30 AM, two hours before Epstein was found (7:29-7:38).
Dr. Baden noted three fractures in Epstein's neck (left thyroid cartilage, right thyroid cartilage, and hyoid bone), which he had never seen in a self-unnaliving case (7:40-7:59).
The medical examiner's office maintained that these fractures could occur in both self-unnaliving and manual compression (8:01-8:11), leading to a disagreement between professionals (8:11-8:18).

Concerns about CPR and Documentation (11:06-12:47): Lauren questions the initiation of CPR if Epstein had been deceased for hours, noting that a body gone for that long would show clear physical indicators of death. She also finds it unusual that active compressions were photographed in the ambulance, given the high-profile nature and controlled environment of a federal facility.
The CPR photos raise questions for several reasons:
The speaker notes that if someone had been without circulation for hours, as Dr. Baden suggested regarding Epstein's potential earlier time of death, the body would not feel freshly collapsed (11:11-11:21). It would show physiological changes like cooling, skin changes, and blood settling (11:21-11:30).
The speaker finds it unusual to see photos of active compressions being performed on Jeffrey Epstein's body while it was being documented in the back of an ambulance (11:42-11:48).
Given that Epstein's death occurred in a supposedly locked, controlled federal facility involving a high-profile inmate, the act of cutting him down after potentially being deceased for hours, placing him on a gurney, initiating compressions, and also documenting it in photos, is described as not typical (12:05-12:47).

Lack of Usable Camera Footage (13:14-14:17): The camera directly outside Epstein's cell, which would have provided crucial information, was not functioning properly. Lauren emphasizes that video footage would have quieted speculation but its absence only fuels it.
Call for Further Investigation (15:30-16:18): Lauren raises the question of why Mark Epstein has not requested an additional autopsy, as he has the legal right and ability to do so, especially given his public questioning of the findings.
Lauren concludes that the totality of the circumstances—the timeline, markings, fractures, and procedural handling—does not "feel clean" and leaves her with more questions than answers, suggesting that the public's continued interest in the case is justified due to its unresolved nature and layers of coincidences (13:03-13:12, 16:51-17:16, 17:56-17:58).

Panel: How MAGA turned on Trump & Bondi over Epstein files


The video discusses the controversy surrounding the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and the backlash faced by Pam Bondi and the Trump administration from MAGA supporters (0:00).

Key points from the discussion include:

Pam Bondi's congressional hearing performance (0:32-1:15): Bondi is criticized for acting like a "campaign surrogate" rather than an attorney general, refusing to answer questions, and yelling at a Democratic House hearing.
MAGA's negative reaction (1:20-2:21): MAGA hosts express outrage and disappointment with Bondi's performance, calling it "embarrassing" and accusing her of incompetence and a cover-up. They feel betrayed by the lack of transparency regarding the Epstein co-conspirator documents.
Bondi's refusal to face victims (2:50-3:12): A powerful moment highlighted is Bondi's refusal to look at Epstein's victims who were present at the hearing, despite her role as an attorney general representing the people.
Political motivations and lack of justice (3:17-3:40): The panel suggests Bondi's actions were a performance for Donald Trump, who later praised her for "sticking it to the lunatic leftists." This further fuels the perception that the focus is on politics rather than justice for victims.
The role of the attorney general (4:01-5:16): The discussion delves into the distinction between a criminal defense attorney and a prosecutor, emphasizing that a prosecutor's role is quasi-judicial and involves investigating for justice, not representing a specific client in the same way a defense attorney does.
Definition of "pedophile" and victim ages (5:25-6:10): There's a debate about the legal definition of "pedophile" and the age of Epstein's victims, with some as young as nine years old being mentioned in unredacted documents.
Accusations of incompetence and cover-up (6:26-7:37): The panel further criticizes Bondi, calling her "inept, incompetent, and incapable," and accusing the administration of botching the communication and redaction process of the files.
"Whataboutism" and lack of accountability (7:44-8:45): A heated exchange occurs over "whataboutism," with one panelist refusing to deflect blame from the current administration by questioning previous administrations' actions. They assert that all parties involved have failed the Epstein victims.
DOJ tracking lawmakers' searches (8:46-10:22): The video concludes by discussing the controversial act of the Department of Justice tracking lawmakers who accessed the unredacted files, which even Speaker Mike Johnson condemned. This action is seen as feeding into a narrative of a politicized investigation not focused on victims.

BOMBSHELL Email Ties Ghislaine Maxwell To 9/11


The video discusses two recently revealed emails from the Epstein files, suggesting a hidden "shadow commission" on 9/11 and raising questions about official narratives.

Here's a breakdown of the key points:

Ghislaine Maxwell's Invitation to a "Shadow 9/11 Commission" (1:00-2:03): The video highlights an email from January 6, 2003, sent to Ghislaine Maxwell by "Ed Epste," inviting her to a secret "shadow commission on 9/11." The host, Cenk Uygur, expresses shock and questions the existence and influence of such a clandestine group. He also points out that Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell, was an Israeli spy who allegedly stole nuclear secrets from the US, adding another layer of concern about her potential involvement.
"Where is the Real Pilot?" Email (3:48-5:32): A second, even more perplexing email is presented, sent to Ghislaine Maxwell from Philip Lavine on September 18, 2001—just a week after 9/11—with the subject line "Where is the real pilot?" This email leads the host to question the official 9/11 narrative and the lack of media interest in these revelations.
Media's Role in "Cover-Up" (2:54-3:46, 5:39-6:43): The video criticizes mainstream media for not covering these "bombshell" emails, suggesting that their silence indicates an active cover-up rather than mere incompetence. Uygur argues that this lack of journalistic inquiry by major news outlets implies they are "in on it" or are being pressured to suppress the truth.
Epstein's Ties to Israel (7:24-8:09): The host further delves into Jeffrey Epstein's alleged connections to Israel, citing instances like his purported procurement of cyber weapons for Israel, donations to the IDF, and close ties with Israeli prime ministers and spies. These connections, combined with Ghislaine Maxwell's family background, are presented as reasons to scrutinize their involvement in sensitive matters like a "shadow 9/11 commission."
Call for Questions and Accountability (8:16-10:00): The video concludes by urging viewers to continue asking questions about 9/11 and the role of the government and media. Uygur asserts that the American public has a right to free speech and to fight for the truth, despite attempts to silence or "cancel" those who challenge official narratives. He believes these emails, which have been available on the Justice Department website, should prompt a deeper investigation into what truly happened on 9/1

The Epstein Files Reveal What Trump Knew | The New Yorker Interview


The video features an interview with Julie K. Brown, a reporter who played a crucial role in bringing the Jeffrey Epstein case to light. She discusses the recent release of the Epstein files and the challenges of deciphering the heavily redacted documents (0:16). 

 Here's a breakdown of the key topics: 
 Chaos and Purpose in Document Release (0:57): Brown believes the chaotic release of documents is partly purposeful, aiming to distract and confuse the public, and also reflects the Justice Department's historical disorganization in handling the massive investigation. 
Scope of Epstein's Network (2:46): The files reveal the extensive global reach of Epstein's operation, with "scouts" in almost every country and lawyers facilitating visas for victims under the guise of work permits for his modeling agency. 
Donald Trump's Involvement (4:13): Julie K. Brown discusses a document showing that Donald Trump called the Palm Beach police chief in 2006, expressing relief that action was being taken against Epstein and stating that "everybody knew" about his activities. Trump also mentioned Ghislaine Maxwell's involvement, calling her "evil." The interview explores the ambiguity of whether this communication portrays Trump as an informant or someone who knew about the crimes but didn't act sooner. 
Victim Reactions to Document Release (7:26): Survivors are disturbed that their names are still present in the public documents despite redactions of other individuals. Howard Lutnick's Continued Communication with Epstein (9:21): The reporter highlights documents showing that Howard Lutnick, Trump's commerce secretary, continued to communicate with Epstein and even visited his island with his family after allegedly feeling "creepy" at Epstein's mansion. 

Allegations Against Donald Trump in Tip Line Calls (11:14): The interview touches upon a congressman's reference to disturbing allegations against Donald Trump found in the FBI's tip line calls related to Epstein. Brown clarifies that these tips, while some are bizarre, require investigation, and the lack of follow-up notes or reports is concerning. 
Public Perception of Epstein's Crimes (13:55): Brown explains that Epstein's plea deal in 2007, which he used to rehab his image, downplayed the severity of his crimes to the public, making it seem like a minor prostitution charge. She notes the secrecy of the plea deal was by design to prevent victim protests. 

Epstein's Death and Conspiracy Theories (27:38): Julie K. Brown states her belief that Epstein did not commit suicide, citing inconsistencies in the official reports, such as undisturbed bunk items, lack of crime scene preservation, and the strange circumstances surrounding his cellmate and alleged previous suicide attempt.
 Epstein's Exploitation Methods (22:56): Brown explains that Epstein used fraudulent means, like offering false job opportunities or promising to help with careers, to trap vulnerable young women and girls, rather than direct payment for sex. He targeted vulnerable individuals, including those who were homeless or in foster care (25:22). 
Epstein's Politics (20:12): Brown emphasizes that Epstein's crimes were about power, money, and sex, not politics, and that he associated with individuals across the political spectrum. She states he was more aligned with Democrats but donated to both parties. 
Impact on the Reporter (30:50): Julie K. Brown shares that her drive to continue reporting on the story stems from her dedication to the victims and her belief that there has been a cover-up.
