🔥 1. Epstein Files and Trump Controversy

  • We open with a heated discussion about the renewed focus on the Jeffrey Epstein files, with calls for transparency.
  • Senator Cruz outlines four principles for handling the Epstein case:
    1. Transparency – Release all information.
    2. Protect the victims – Especially minors in explicit materials.
    3. Release it all – No selective disclosure.

  • A Wall Street Journal article is criticized for allegedly publishing a fake letter from Trump to Epstein. Trump denies its authenticity and threatens legal action.

📺 3. Stephen Colbert and the Fall of Late-Night Comedy

  • Cruz celebrates the cancellation of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”, framing it as a cultural victory for conservatives.
  • Colbert is described as a partisan, elitist figure who alienated half the country with anti-Trump rhetoric and COVID-19 vaccine advocacy.
  • Cruz reminisces about a time when late-night comedy was bipartisan and fun, contrasting it with what he sees as Colbert’s divisive tone.
  • The hosts play clips mocking Colbert’s vaccine-themed musical segments and criticize the influence of pharmaceutical sponsorships.

  • The White House Counsel's Office has reportedly opened an investigation into the alleged misuse of the autopen to sign executive orders, pardons, and other official documents during Joe Biden’s presidency.

    • Caroline Levitt, Trump’s Press Secretary, who called Biden the “most incompetent and senile president.”

Biden’s Chief of Staff Under Fire for Autopen plus U.S. May Join Allies in Labeling Muslim Brotherhood as Terrorists

1. Allegations Regarding President Joe Biden’s Use of the Autopen for Pardons

  • The podcast claims that President Biden may not have been fully aware of what he was signing via autopen during his final days in office.
  • It references a New York Times article and a forthcoming book titled Original Sin.
  • Allegations include:
    • Biden’s inner circle blocked him from campaign prep and briefings.
    • Chief of Staff Jeff Zients approved the use of the autopen for multiple preemptive pardons, including for Anthony Fauci and General Mark Milley.
    • The legitimacy of these pardons is questioned, with Donald Trump calling it a major scandal.
  • The narrative suggests that Biden’s aides, not the President himself, made final decisions on pardons.

2. Proposed Legislation to Designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a Terrorist Organization

  • Senator Ted Cruz is introducing the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2025.
  • The bill proposes a bottom-up approach to designation, differing from past efforts that failed due to the non-violent status of some Brotherhood branches.
  • It urges Secretary of State Marco Rubio to:
    • Catalog global branches of the Muslim Brotherhood.
    • Designate those meeting terrorism criteria.
  • The bill outlines three pathways for designation:
    1. Congressional action under the 1987 Anti-Terrorism Act.
    2. State Department designation.
    3. Designation as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist group.
  • The legislation is supported by GOP senators and aligns with actions taken by countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.
  • Cruz compares this effort to Trump’s 2017 designation of Iran’s IRGC as a terrorist group.
  • The document includes Cruz’s direct statements, emphasizing the Brotherhood’s global reach, violent ideology, and alleged ties to groups like Hamas.

Rand Paul goes after Fauci on GoF Research & Pardon plus SCOTUS Greenlights Trump’s Plan to Dismantle DoE

1. Senator Rand Paul's Criminal Referral of Dr. Anthony Fauci

  • Context: Senator Paul has reissued a criminal referral to the DOJ against Dr. Fauci, citing perjury related to his 2021 Senate testimony on gain-of-function research in Wuhan.

  • Allegations: Fauci allegedly misled Congress about NIH funding for gain-of-function research.
  • Political Angle: The Trump administration is portrayed as cooperative in pursuing the investigation, while the Biden administration is accused of obstruction.

2. Supreme Court Ruling on the Department of Education

  • Issue: The Trump administration’s plan to shut down the Department of Education and return control to the states.
  • Ruling: The Supreme Court (6-3 decision) lifted an injunction, allowing layoffs of over 1,300 employees and enabling the department’s closure to proceed.
  • Reactions:
    • Supporters: Frame it as a win for parents, students, and educational reform.
    • Dissenters: Warn of executive overreach and erosion of separation of powers.
  • Next Steps: Programs like special education and student loans are being transferred to other federal agencies.
