Pull up a chair and grab your coffee because Rivera and Reeves is back from our July 4th break with a packed episode that'll make your head spin. We're diving deep into the devastating Central Texas flooding that claimed 100 lives—including 27 children at a summer camp—and exposing the media's disgusting double standard in how they covered this tragedy versus North Carolina's floods under Biden. Spoiler alert: when Trump's in office, suddenly it's all about "prevention failures" and Doge cuts that haven't even taken effect yet.

But wait, there's more! The DOJ just dropped a mysterious unsigned memo claiming there's "nothing there" with Epstein, and we're calling BS on the whole charade. From Pam Bondi's overpromising to the convenient memory holes, we're breaking down why this administration's transparency promises are starting to feel like Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown.

Plus, we're witnessing peak TDS as people literally celebrate dead children because they happened to be from Texas. The mask is officially off, friends, and what we're seeing underneath is absolutely revolting. Because apparently when your political ideology becomes your entire personality, basic human decency gets thrown right out the window.

The media is trash, we have zero patience for their nonsense, and we're here to wade through all the spin. Let's get into it.

Episode Highlights

• Texas Flooding Double Standard - Media immediately blamed Trump for Central Texas tragedy despite Doge cuts not taking effect until October, contrasting sharply with their defense of Biden during North Carolina floods.
• Summer Camp Massacre Response - Toxic ideologues celebrated the deaths of 27 children at Camp Mystic because Texas "votes red," revealing how political tribalism has completely poisoned basic human empathy.
• Epstein Files Disappearing Act - DOJ released an unsigned memo claiming no client list exists, directly contradicting AG Pam Bondi's previous promises about having evidence "sitting on her desk."
• Border Patrol Under Fire - Two separate incidents of Border Patrol agents being ambushed and shot occurred while Democratic voters reportedly tell lawmakers to "get shot" at ICE facilities to escalate resistance.
• Bondi's Credibility Crisis - Attorney General continues pattern of overpromising and underdelivering, from the Epstein files to influencer binders, undermining trust in institutional reform efforts.
