Nate Brady and Mike Smith opened the episode discussing mental health amid a difficult news cycle before diving into the newly released Epstein files under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which include three million pages, images, and videos. They examined emails from 2013 alleging Bill Gates had extramarital affairs with "Russian girls," contracted an STD requiring antibiotics, and was assisted by a Gates-associated doctor—allegations Melinda Gates confirmed on NPR as reasons for their divorce. The hosts discussed Trump's extensive connections to Epstein revealed in the files, including additional flights on Epstein's jet and unsealed allegations from women. They noted the "pizza" code word appearing in thank-you emails and questioned why the Biden DOJ never released the documents, suggesting both parties have donors implicated. The conversation covered Elon Musk's focus on the files while noting his own emails appear in them, including a deleted tweet claiming Trump wouldn't release the files because he was implicated. They analyzed the Texas special election where Democrats flipped a district Trump won by 17 points, representing a 31-point swing driven by independents. Nate criticized Democratic leadership like Jeffries and Schumer for prioritizing donors over working-class Americans, while praising Cat's grassroots campaign strategy. The hosts discussed the viral "pants event" video near Trump, French police raiding X's offices for algorithm misuse and AI-generated illegal content, and expressed support for the people of Minnesota while calling for accountability in the deaths of Alex Petty and Renee Nicole Good by federal agents. The episode concluded with breaking news: Rep. Ted Lieu announced the Epstein files contain allegations of Donald Trump raping and threatening to kill children, with Nate emphasizing this warrants impeachment and removal from office.
