Phil speaks with Professor Aiden Warren from RMIT University's School of Global, Urban & Social Studies, discussing the fallout from the Trump administration's recent memo. This memo stated that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein did not have an incriminating "client list," sparking a rare and vocal rebellion among some of Donald Trump's most loyal MAGA supporters.

Epstein's alleged suicide in jail in 2019 fueled right-wing conspiracy theories that he was murdered to prevent the release of a list containing high-profile individuals involved in sex trafficking. Despite Trump's defense of US Attorney General Pam Bondi, who previously claimed to have the list, and his plea for people to forget Epstein, the controversy appears to have caused lasting damage to his popularity among the MAGA faithful.
