The more digging and the more document dumps that surround the Epstein case, the more we realize how compromised the President of the United States of America. A senior citizen clearly showing signs of dementia, cankles that are as swollen as I've ever seen in my entire life, bruises all over his hands, obsessed with vanity projects and the Wall Street Journal, one of the most conservative papers in the United States of Americ, owned by Rert Murdoch, has a banger of an article and it is not good for Kanks the incident that prompted Trump to ban Epstein from Mar? A Lago's spa and here's an excerpt from this article. Jeffrey Epstein wasn't just a frequent visitor to Trump's Mar Lago Club. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the club was also sending spa employees, usually young women, to Epstein's nearby mansion for massages, manicures and other spa services, according to former Mar Lago and Epstein employees. The house calls went on for years, even as spa employees warned each other about Epstein, who was known among staff for being sexually suggestive and exposing himself during the appointments. According to the former Mar Mar Lago employees, the spa occasionally provided house calls for members. Epstein wasn't a dues paying member of the club, but Trump told staff to treat him like one. The employee said Epstein had an account at the SP where his companion, Ghislaine Maxwell, booked appointments on his behalf. They came to a halt in 2003 after an 18 year old beautician returned to the club from a house call to Epstein and reported to managers that he had pressured her for sex. Former employees said a manager sent Trump a fax relaying the employee's allegations and urged him to ban Epstein. Some of the former employees said Trump told the manager it was a good letter and said to kick him out. The beautician disclosed the house call to the club's human resource team, one of the former employees said. The incident wasn't reported to Palm beach police. According to the former employees and police, White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said Tuesday that the Journal was, quote, writing up fallacies and innuendo in order to smear President Trump. No matter how many times this story is told and retold, the truth remains President Trump did nothing wrong and he kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar A Lago for being a creep, levitt says in a text message. Representatives for the Trump Organization didn't respond to requests for comment.
What I look at when I hear this, I think so you're telling me that Donald Trump was sending his employees to Jeffrey Epstein's house for services. He had been to parties with him. He was friends with Ghislaine Maxwell. He was at his home. We see pictures of Trump in with Epstein at Epstein's residence. And then you have all this, well, it's a hoax. It didn't happen. Everybody knew what was going on. Even his own secretary, Lutnick said, yeah, everybody knew what was happening. This is so stunning that anyone would look at this and think, well, you know, he kicked him out and everything's fine. He was at the fucking White House for Thanksgiving when Trump was president, according to reports. This man, I believe, was in. He did not care what Jeffrey Epstein was doing. He partook, he didn't whistleblow. He invited him to the White House. We've seen so many reports. The reason their relationship broke up is because Trump or Epstein figured out Trump was a con. It wasn't about the girls because women are disposable for Trump. It is so stunning that this is going on. And the answer is, oh, well, you know, it's a hoax or it's a smear campaign. This shit happened when Donald Trump was in, like, Home Alone movies, not when he was political. It's just so gross. And anybody that believes it, they have not acknowledged reality and they're living in willful denial.
And I think it's interesting in that piece that Trump acknowledged that Epstein wasn't a dues paying member. And it sounds to me like he was sending the girls over and authorized the spot to do so so he could curry favor with Epstein. That's what it sounds like to me. And eventually there were so many complaints that he had to do something. Because if you read even further into this, Marla Maples, his second wife, was warning people, you know, be careful with these girls around Jeffrey Epstein. And so this was a wide open collusion with Jeffrey Epstein and many, many powerful men, one of those men being Donald Trump. And you dive into this even further and Epstein, there's pretty credible evidence in these dumps that Epstein was having relations, having conversations with Russian government officials about compromising information about Donald Trump. So this goes so deep, and to me, it sounds like Trump is sending these girls to curry favor. That's what he likes to do. He likes to have something over somebody. You see that with all of the billionaires right now, he likes holding something over them. If you don't make me a trophy and come humiliate yourself in the Oval Office, I'm going to put a lot of tariffs on your product. Same thing with the Epstein Thing, he wanted to be in the middle of it. A lot of powerful men wanted to access these children. And Donald Trump was sending girls over there to curry favor with a pedophile and a sex trafficker. And it's just stunning. It's stunning to me that Biden's DOJ had all this information and we're just now getting it. And so how does the cult spin this stuff? And here's all the cult knows to do. The Christian signal. So out of all the face faiths in the United States of America, nobody turned out for Donald Trump or MAGA like white evangelical Christians. And they voted for him over 80%. 80% of white evangelical Christians that claim to be pro life, pro family, pro God, pro America. I mean, just, you know, probably crying at national anthems. These people. These people support this pedophile and this criminal unapologetically. And so they have to Christian signal when these stories drop. So Wall Street Journal thing drops, and then here's what pops up. Nick Adams sends out this tweet, and this is not satire. This guy's dead serious. Donald J. Trump is the spiritual father of the American people and arguably the strongest Christian to ever hold the office of the. Of the President of the United States of America. In the image, there's a picture of Donald Trump with a stained glass window behind him with an American flag. Of course, this overt nationalism, which is very prevalent in fascist regimes, this style of propaganda, you've got all these people around him praying, and he's praying in the center. And this is just total Christian signaling idolatry. This is Iron Age magical thinking. This is crazy. This is mental illness. This is a cult mental illness on full display. And I will go on the permanent record right now, and I will say that the 80% of white evangelical Christians that triple trumped that voted for him, that see that, that say that they care about Jesus, they care about the country, they care about law and order, they care about families. These people are in a cult suffering from personality disorders and mental illness, in my opinion.
Well, and you look at that and you think is part of their religion, what allows them to completely disassociate the behavior of Donald Trump and what they say they believe in because their pastors do it. Southern Baptist Nazarenes, these evangelical religions, where they find out that their youth pastor or somebody in power has done this to little kids, and they're able to dismiss it. So when Donald Trump does it, they're able to dismiss it again. So in. In my world, it's easier when I talk to people about it. I understand whether they can dismiss it because they dismiss all bad behavior of men. One, because they're internalized misogyny and able to look at the Bible and say it's misogynistic. And they believe it. So they're. Women can be disposable. And they've seen through the course of history, leaders in their churches misbehaving sexually with children for decades. And so does their Christianity allow them to accept this more?
I think I can make it even simpler. Okay. I think this will really resonate with you. The whole thing is set up on forgiveness without accountability.
Yeah, that's.
The whole thing is, well, I just asked God for forgiveness. I remember when I was being heavily recruited by my peers growing up in Oklahoma to. Because evangelicals are very insecure, and they have this feeling, this impulse almost, that they have to recruit. They have to recruit. They have to recruit. It's a very impulsive, like, nervous tick that they have. It's constantly recruiting me. And they'd say, no matter what you do wrong, all you have to do is say, jesus, forgive me, and you're forgiven. So you see this pattern of forgiveness without accountability. And that's not how it works. Accountability has to come first, and then it evolves into forgiveness, accountability. Forgiveness isn't automatic. You have to see that a person is accountable for it and that they feel it. They show contrition. They are evolving away from those behaviors, and then forgiveness comes later. And so that's the problem. This whole thing, it's like, oh, yeah, I screwed my secretary, or I was jerking off, my teenage daughter's friend was over, and I was peeping in her on the shower. But all I have to do is say, God, forgive me, and it's the secret little relationship you have. There's no accountability in any of it. So the fact that this man has done all of this shit with no accountability and is most popular with the religion that has zero accountability in it, and I'm talking about the sect of Christianity of white evangelicalism, makes perfect sense to me because they're the least accountable people I've personally ever met in my life. There's zero accountability. It's all forgiveness, no growth, no accountability. So it's perfect that they just translate that mindset with him, because it's like, oh, well, he's a Christian now, right? He's a Christian, which God forgave him.
We're a secular nation.
Okay? This is. So while I remember we started off this episode with this bombshell, Trump trying To curry favor with Epstein, who was not a member of Mar a Lago sending teenage girls over to get sexually abused by Epstein. Trump knew what a freak he was. Everybody knew. So while this is going on, while this Wall Street Journal story, this bombshell is dropped from a very conservative paper, I wonder what the television arm of Rupert Murdoch's media empire, I wonder what they're covering. Since the Wall Street Journal actually did some journalism. What is Fox News saying? And I want to play this clip for you, and I want to tell you that the. It was, it was December 30, 2025. So just a few days ago, this is what Fox News was reporting two to three days ago. This isn't two years old. This is hours old. Play the clip.

Will never believe where Joe Biden was spotted. Spoiler alert, he's on vacation, okay?
Left-leaning Political Commentator
Joe Biden's not the president. Joe Biden can go wherever the fuck he wants to go because this is a free country. It's none of your business, Tomi Lahren, where Joe Biden is. The obsession with Joe Biden is so weird. Like, this is the thing about MAGA evangelicals that drives me crazy. They are the biggest busy bodies on the planet. Always up in everybody's business, up in everybody's relationship, up in everybody's bedroom. And now you care where Joe. If Joe Biden's on vacation, he's not president Senate. He has not been president for a year. He can go wherever the he wants to go. It's just insane. And all the while, the President of the United States is suffering massive dementia lapses, chronically taking cognitive tests, according to him, claiming that he ace them, which tells us he didn't. And we're. He's committing crimes, selling pardons. I mean, just. It's insane.
Well, here's the thing.
That's red meat.
Whenever things go really bad for Trump, they talk about transgender athletes, of which there are less than a dozen in the United States. And they talk about Joe Biden.
I mean, and how pathetic is their lives. Joe Biden's red meat for you. Really? An 84 year old man is red meat? Like, these people need to get hobbies. Like, I am no more interested in what Joe Biden does for vacation. And is that the intellectual drainage system that these people swim in? That's red meat. Joe Biden, an 84 year old ex president on vacation who has cancer. Why do they give a. They do.
Because every time the Epstein. Like I will click over to when the women who were victims of Epstein came to the Capitol and were speaking and every news outlet except Fox was playing it. They're talking about Joe Biden on that day.
I mean it's not even interesting. No, it's, it's terribly uninteresting. All right, so here is another segment on Vox. And so here's the thing. You have these white evangelicals that in my opinion have weird relationships with children. They're involved in their children's sex lives before their children even hit puberty. That's really, really weird shit. Okay. They already are pre spinning like if you are not a virgin, you're going to go to hell. And you know, to like six and eight year olds. Really weird, right? And so then you also have grinder outages everywhere. These MAGA and Turning Point conventions are right. And then you have this 80 year old unattractive man that is the, the strong man of their movement. And then they have these young gals get on Fox and say shit like this to the audience. Play this.
Fox News Host
Oh, you and I both, Jason. I'm also born and raised in this state. Let me try to put this in terms that Gavin Newsom will understand. Donald Trump is daddy. And daddy cut you off and daddy said you can't use his credit card anymore because why should California and Gavin Newsom be getting.
Left-leaning Political Commentator
I mean that is that not. Did they not know that's his news? Like who's gonna tell her? Who is going to tell her? Like they have all of this rampant homoerotic in their movement. Like daddy is a total gay thing. And, and it's like who is going to tell these people? I read an article over the weekend pumps that Pete Hegseth before he met with these ukrain. There's so much that we could cover all the time. He had a compact with a little powder puff and he was powdering his nose before he goes and meets with these people. All right. And then lastly, Trump is still. We reported before the the transition to the New Year, New Year's Eve, we reported that the Trump team was still grifting off of their base and they had this email with a check mark and if you checked it and you like Trump' My daddy and I love daddy. I want and I'm all for daddy and you know, I don't want the evil demon crats to win. And at the bottom it's like, you know, it's like all this testosterone at the top and then real fine line at the bottom. You know, by checking this box, your credit card will be charged $2,500. They upped the ante before New Year's Eve. And there's another one. Midas touches reporting Trump's latest fundraising email as supporters to check a box to quote, support MAGA in this quote, do or die battle. The fine print checking it auto adds an extra $3,300 donation on December 31st. And like, here's what this stuff says if you check it. I am, I am President Donald J. Trump. You're the only reason we saved America. Now I am asking you to consider making a small sustaining contribution so we can contemplate the maggo agenda. Can I count on your support? And then they went alert. Democrats are gaining serious momentum. Their relentless attacks, really, where the are those fueled by millions of dollars in dark money are paying off. MAGA is on the brink of disaster. That's music to my ears. And it's time to, quote, sound the alarm. President Trump can't hold back the woke mob alone. Keep this, this box checked. So this is where you have to check the box. Keep this box checked to support MAGA in this do or die battle. And so these poor people have checked this box. I say poor people and then I don't say poor people. Here's the thing, and I've said this before, and I'll just leave you all with this. I'll get pumps take on it as well. The people that are like hardcore in the cult that like they have, they live in rural America. They are hardcore in this cult. They went to an evangelical church. Race is all they've ever known their whole lives. They haven't been exposed to higher education, critical thought, and they're just completely in the cult. I actually have some empathy for. It's the wealthy country club Republicans that know better, right? That will not publicly admit in certain social circles that they're MAGA supporters because they know how depraved he is. But they triple trumped anyway. Those are the most disgusting to me because they know better and they willfully, willfully choose that deranged, demented sack of shit. And they like it. They enjoy it. They enjoy the cruelty because they also like to traffic in cruelty.
Well, and here's the thing. A lot of the people that we know fall into the latter category. They do know better, but they can't apply any empathy to anyone that is not themselves helps. It's they're so entitled. But here on that email, the things I think about are you have the White House, Congress and the Supreme Court. You are doing everything you want. Why would a donation to your campaign change that? But I mean, maybe that's giving too much credit.
What is he running for?
And then that's my next question. Where is this campaign money going to go? He is termed out. He is a lame dad and I would bet my life that is not going to support down ballot Republicans. I mean, I'm just gonna go out on a limb. He is not going to start giving money to other candidates.
I, I think perhaps. I think you nailed it. Yeah. I think that this is going in his pocket. Of course it is. Of course it is. And he's already made billions of dollars and all of his friends have made billions of dollars. It's. It's so exhausting. It's just the forms of daily abuse right by these people and how they just rub it and rub it in the faces of everybody. But like that whole ginned up the woke mob, it's just, I, I can't believe that at some point, even the, the dumb ones, even the ones who've been fully indoctrinated in the cult, at some point don't go. If he's so rich, why does he.
Need all this money?
Why does he need $3,300 like I, I don't. Surely we all have the same brain. Surely some critical thinking penetrates in there somewhere. All right, that's all we have for this episode. Please subscribe to our channel and we'll be back later with more news.
Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
Date: January 5, 2026
In this episode, Jennifer and Angie dive into explosive revelations from a recent Wall Street Journal article detailing Donald Trump’s longstanding and questionable relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, focusing especially on Mar-a-Lago’s involvement and the subsequent conservative media spin. They dissect Fox News’ deflections, MAGA evangelical responses, and the current state of Trump’s fundraising machine, delivering their signature blend of sharp analysis and biting humor.
[00:04] The hosts kick off with excerpts from a groundbreaking WSJ report exposing years of Mar-a-Lago spa staff being sent to Epstein’s mansion for personal services (massages, manicures, and more), often at Trump’s direction.
Allegations that after an 18-year-old beautician complained about sexual pressure from Epstein, Trump only then banned Epstein from the club, but no report was made to police.
Trump's relationship with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell is examined, with photographic and anecdotal evidence undercutting the narrative that Trump acted swiftly or independently out of morality.
“Epstein wasn’t a dues paying member of the club, but Trump told staff to treat him like one.” — [00:04]
The hosts highlight how Trump enabled Epstein for years, only acting when complaints became too prominent to ignore.
[02:46] Jennifer expresses disbelief at conservative spin, zeroing in on how the MAGA base discredits credible reporting as "smear campaigns."
Citing Trump’s inviting Epstein to the White House, the hosts challenge the "he did nothing wrong" narrative.
“Anybody that believes it, they have not acknowledged reality and they're living in willful denial.” (Jennifer, [03:47])
[04:22] Angie posits Trump’s motivation: currying favor with Epstein via access to Mar-a-Lago staff, with the broader implication that Trump likes to be “in the middle of” and have leverage over powerful people—even to the point of facilitating access to vulnerable individuals.
“He wanted to be in the middle of it. A lot of powerful men wanted to access these children.” (Angie, [05:37])
The episode links these patterns to evidence of Epstein having compromising information on Trump, according to new document dumps.
[04:55–08:05] The hosts lay into the 80% of white evangelicals who consistently support Trump, despite evidence that contradicts their professed moral values.
“This is Iron Age magical thinking. This is crazy. This is mental illness. This is a cult mental illness on full display.” (Jennifer, [07:07])
The conversation pivots to evangelical patterns of forgiving abusive powerful men, enabled by internalized misogyny and religious justifications.
“One, because they're internalized misogyny … Women can be disposable.” (Angie, [08:48])
[09:15] The hosts succinctly sum up evangelical support: “The whole thing is set up on forgiveness without accountability.”
Personal anecdotes highlight religious communities preaching forgiveness as an automatic process, enabling repeated bad behavior without consequence.
“There's zero accountability. It's all forgiveness, no growth, no accountability.” (Jennifer, [10:59])
[12:11] The hosts play and critique a recent Fox News clip (Tomi Lahren) focusing on Joe Biden's vacation rather than addressing the Trump-Epstein scandal, sarcastically skewering the MAGA obsession with Biden.
“Joe Biden's not the president. Joe Biden can go wherever the fuck he wants… The obsession with Joe Biden is so weird.” (Jennifer, [12:18])
Fox’s strategy is described as “red meat for the base”—talking about Biden and culture war topics when Trump is in trouble.
“Whenever things go really bad for Trump, they talk about transgender athletes… and they talk about Joe Biden.” (Angie, [13:24])
They highlight Fox's refusal to air Epstein victim testimonies, in contrast to other networks.
[15:20] Angie dissects the Trump team's latest fundraising tactics—emails that trick donors into autorenewing $2,500 or $3,300 contributions via fine print.
They mock the performative “alpha” language ("Daddy Trump") used to goad supporters, while pointing out the homoerotic undertones in MAGA culture.
The hosts draw a distinction between "hardcore cult" rural supporters (for whom they have some empathy due to lack of exposure) and wealthy, educated Republicans who “know better” but back Trump anyway out of cruelty or self-interest.
“Those are the most disgusting to me because they know better and they willfully, willfully choose that deranged, demented sack of shit.” (Jennifer, [18:59])
Critical questions are raised:
“He is termed out. He is a lame dad and I would bet my life that is not going to support down ballot Republicans.” (Angie, [19:59])
Trump’s relationship with Epstein:
“Epstein wasn’t a dues paying member of the club, but Trump told staff to treat him like one.” — [00:04]
On MAGA denial:
“Anybody that believes it, they have not acknowledged reality and they're living in willful denial.” — [03:47], Jennifer
On white evangelical Trump support:
“This is Iron Age magical thinking. This is crazy. This is mental illness. This is a cult mental illness on full display.” — [07:07], Jennifer
On forgiveness without accountability:
“The whole thing is set up on forgiveness without accountability.” — [09:15], Angie
On Fox News:
“Joe Biden's not the president. Joe Biden can go wherever the fuck he wants… The obsession with Joe Biden is so weird.” — [12:18], Jennifer
On MAGA fundraising:
“By checking this box, your credit card will be charged $2,500. They upped the ante before New Year's Eve.” — [17:04], Angie
On wealthy Republican hypocrisy:
“Those are the most disgusting to me because they know better and they willfully, willfully choose that deranged, demented sack of shit.” — [18:59], Jennifer
The episode maintains a frank, irreverent, and often comedic tone. The hosts use explicit language and sharp analogies to drive home the absurdity and hypocrisy they see in Trumpist politics, while keeping the mood engaging and conversational.
Summary Takeaway:
Jennifer and Angie dissect the new evidence around Trump and Epstein, ridicule MAGA media for its distracting culture war tactics, deeply criticize white evangelical complicity, and expose Trump’s ongoing political grifts. Their no-holds-barred, comedic commentary provides catharsis and insight for progressive listeners navigating the current political circus.
