Partying With Jeffrey Epstein

·1 hr 14 min·4 clips

A DOJ file describes an unidentified friend forced to perform oral sex on Trump at age 13 or 14.

Bob opens the show with Jody Hamilton and David Ferguson, the Goth Ninjas. He puts the day in political crisis mode right away. The conversation settles on the Epstein files fight, and nobody treats it like paperwork. It is a power question. What should have been in the records? What got removed or held back? Who had something to lose? Bob keeps dragging the thread back to Donald Trump. He says Trump may not need to be directly involved for his people to circle the wagons around him. That matters because the missing trail may have lived in proxy messages. If Trump stayed off email, the useful evidence would likely have been somewhere else. The hosts talk through the idea that the redactions were meant to protect him. Bob compares the whole thing to the redaction scene in Nixon. The joke works because the comparison is ugly and obvious. He also floats a second possibility. Maybe the people doing the work were just lazy, sloppy, or incompetent. Either way, the result looks bad. The show then shifts to a Democratic special-election victory in state senate district 9 by 13 or 14 points. Bob treats that result as a big swing away from Trump and tees up the next segment with the usual shadow-docket warning.
