Epstein, Floods, and the Politics of Distraction

A recording from Olivia of Troye and Jim Acosta's live video.

In this episode, investigative reporter Julie K. Brown, the journalist who re-opened the Epstein case, and I join Jim Acosta for an hour-long deep-dive that spans from Epstein secrecy to climate-driven disasters.

We dig into the MAGA back-pedaling on “release the list,” why survivors are still being denied justice, and how this moment serves as a stress test for institutional accountability in a post-truth era.

Jim and I also break down how the deadly Texas floods expose deeper failures of policy as well as leadership, and how the same pattern of hype-then-hide is putting Americans at risk, from disaster response to economic policy.

Listen for Julie’s powerful insights on what’s still hidden in the Epstein files, and stay for the closing stretch, where we touch on Trump’s threat of 50% tariffs on Brazil, his gold-leaf “ballroom” plan for the White House, and yes… my taco-hat cameo makes another appearance in the trade-war saga.

🎧 It’s a wide-ranging, no-spin conversation about truth, power, and what happens when those in charge try to bury both.
