Erin and Alyssa give a big update on Epstein news, from Congress’s measure to compel the DOJ to release the files, Megyn Kelly’s disgusting (and confusing) pedophilia apologia, and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Makeover-Apology Tour. Then CNN’s Abby Phillip joins to discuss her new book A Dream Deferred: Jesse Jackson and the Fight for Black Political Power, and the state of the media landscape one year post-election. They wrap up with some Solicited Advice on dealing with conspiracy theorist boyfriends and the perfect nail color for an important job interview.
