Hey, guys. Tim, over the bulwark here, we've got some breaking about to be news, it seems like, regarding Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with Donald Trump. This is something that people have been buzzing about in media circles for about a day and a half now. And I try not to keep stuff from you guys, but I got to tell you, I've been hearing rumors, but they've all been second or third hand about this big Wall Street Journal story that is going to have new information detailing the extent of Trump's relationship with Epstein, potentially some notes that were shared, you know, tbd. I don't exactly know the reporting. Don't want to give you guys unverified news. But what is verified is now media reporter Oliver Darcy, who writes the newsletter status, is just out with a story just now headlined Trump's WSJ Epstein Fury. And what he is reporting is, is that Donald Trump is said to have personally called Emma Tucker, the Journal's editor in chief, to voice his objections to this story. The Wall Street Journal apparently has been getting heavy pressure to not publicize this story from inside the White House. I've heard secondhand that chief of staff Susie Wiles has been deputized to do anything in her power to stamp this out from the inside. The Darcy story gets into something that I'd been wondering, which is whether Trump had contact Rupert Murdoch as a News Corp. Owns the Wall Street Journal. And Darcy says it's unclear whether he's done so. Darcy reached out to the Journal, to Murdoch and the White House. None of them responded to his inquiries. But you know, like I said there, and maybe multiple different stories, I've been talking to multiple, I've been talking to different people who have evidence or have heard that there are multiple different stories Wall Street Journal is working on related to Epstein, but that the big kahuna is this Trump Epstein relationship story. Just a little bit of context here. Well, a, I guess first things first on the, on the news item here on what we know if Trump's mad enough about this to call the Wall Street Journal, you know, it's bad. I mean, you know, you know, they got the goods if Trump is personally intervening at that, at that level. So that's one thing that I think that we can intuit from what we're, from what we're hearing out there. Another thing is like, this isn't that surprising. And again, we talked about this with David Wallace Wells, which is an awesome interview. I know everyone wants to do Epstein stuff all day and we're doing a very long Climate interview. But we also get an Epstein a little bit. So go check out the David Wallace Wells interview. It's awesome. He's really smart on climate stuff. But anyway, we were talking about this and Trump did break up his relationship with Epstein for unknown reasons in 2004 before he was first arrested.

Well, I knew him like everybody in Palm beach knew him. I mean, people in Palm beach knew him. He was a fixture in Palm Beach. I had a falling out with him a long time ago. I don't think I've spoken to him for 15 years. I wasn't a fan. I was not. Yeah, a long time ago, I'd say maybe 15 years. I was not a fan of his. That I can tell you. I was not a fan of his.
