The Latest Dump of the Epstein Files and Susie Wiles’ Exposé of the Rot at the Top of the U.S. Government
We begin with the latest dump of the Epstein files and examine the recent interview in Vanity Fair with the White House Chief of Staff that exposed the inner workings at the top of the American government as a collection of misfits and miscreants, incompetents, zealots and disturbed individuals led by an egomaniacal narcissist with an alcoholic’s personality. Joining us is Sidney Blumenthal, the former assistant and senior adviser to President Bill Clinton, and senior adviser to Hillary Clinton. He has been a national staff reporter for The Washington Post, Washington editor and staff writer for The New Yorker and his books include the bestsellers The Clinton Wars, The Rise of the Counter-Establishment and The Permanent Campaign. His latest book is All the Powers on Earth, The Political Life of Abraham Lincoln 1856-1860. He is the co-host of the Podcast The Court of History and we will discuss his latest article at The Guardian, “Is Susie Wiles an innocent bystander in Trump’s White House?”
A Reporter Whose Video of a West Bank Settler Beating An Elderly Palestinian Woman Went Viral Leading to a Rare Arrest
Then we speak with a reporter whose video of a West Bank settler beating and almost killing an unarmed 53 year-old Palestinian woman went viral and led to the rare arrest of a 21 year old messianic zealot and member of what is called the “hilltop youth.” Joining us is Jasper Nathaniel, a Brooklyn-based writer and reporter covering politics, culture, and international affairs. He covers Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and publishes weekly analysis on Israel-Palestine through his Substack newsletter, Infinite Jaz where he has an article we will discuss, “Inside the Machine of Annexation.”
