Emily Jashinsky is joined by Matt Taibbi, Editor-in-Chief of “Racket News,” shortly after President Trump signed the bill to release the Epstein files. Taibbi explains why this story is starting to feel like Russiagate all over again. The two also discuss the embarrassing response from Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett after she was outed for texting with Epstein during a congressional hearing and they take a walk down memory lane exposing how involved she was with the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender. Taibbi recounts his own uncomfortable run-in with Plaskett over the Twitter Files. Then the conversation turns to a new classroom clip of former Treasury Secretary and Harvard professor Larry Summers addressing his own embarrassing email exchanges with Jeffrey Epstein and Taibbi explains why this is a perfect example of elite arrogance. Jashinsky and Taibbi also discuss today’s AI boom and why it could harm the middle class, a new video from Democratic lawmakers telling the miliary to refuse orders, Matt’s interesting history with Senator Bernie Sanders, and President Trump’s upcoming meeting with NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. Emily rounds out the show with a Rep Jasmine Crockett’s terrible attempt to link some Republicans to Epstein… but it was the WRONG Epstein, and the controversy surrounding Kelsea Ballerini's song “I Sit in Parks.”
