As one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accusers, Giuffre had long pushed for accountability from Epstein, Prince Andrew, and the powerful figures connected to them. Her death raises urgent questions about the cost of speaking out, the DOJ’s ongoing delays in releasing the full Epstein Files, and whether the system is designed to protect survivors — or the elites.

On today's episode, Andy and Bryan Callen examine how the Trump administration's immigration crackdown has expanded beyond undocumented immigrants to include legal residents, foreign tourists, and even students. From the arrest of a Georgetown professor to the detention of German visitors, critics say these actions weaponize immigration law to suppress political dissent, particularly around pro-Palestinian activism.
