Summary:
Some lines shouldn’t be crossed in the name of a “big tent.” Flip on the lights and watch the vermin scatter—that’s what Epstein’s aftermath looks like as politicians scramble to rewrite their roles. I give credit where it’s due on pushing to release the files, but I draw a hard boundary: platforming someone like Marjorie Taylor Greene under a “we welcome everyone” banner is moral rot, not unity. This episode is a case study in political survival, cowardice, and why refusing to launder reputations matters.
Chapters:
00:00 – Lights on, vermin scatter: the Epstein fallout and sudden “awakenings.”
01:00 – The MTG rehab tour: giving credit for file releases—without absolution.
03:00 – Political survival 101: losing favor, going scorched earth, seeking new allies.
05:00 – Fold under pressure: threats boomerang, sympathy play begins, resignation as escape hatch.
06:00 – Final word: no redemption without repair—and why boundaries matter.
