Left-Leaning Political Commentator
All right, the Epstein files are very, very pesky. They will not go away and we cannot let them go because we have to care about sexual assault. We have to care about sexual assaulting young girls. We have to hold elite, rich, freaky pedophiles to account. Pop up this first story. Epstein files says Trump knew and funded underage sex parties at his golf course. An FBI tip memorialized in the Epstein files alleges Trump knew about underage sex parties at a Trump golf course. So obviously we have all known these types of things. But when you see the effort of Pam Bondi and Cash Patel and now Todd Blanch to completely cover this up, we know more and more and more why they want to cover it up. And it's because the President of the United States where all of these faith, family, freedom, maga, Christian voters go out and vote for him, he's cankles deep in the epicenter of the Epstein files.
Well, and you look at everybody has known this. Trump said on Air Force One, Epstein stole girls from me. From Mar A Lago. You have storage units and videos and all of this equipment that Todd Blanche, who we've had every Girl, every survivor testify he had cameras and videos. We had Howard Lutnick, Trump's Secretary of Commerce, tell us he had videos. He was blackmailing people. And Trump, doj, Todd Blanche says, oh, well, there was no videos. So it is preposterous to think that Trump did not know. And we're coming up on a deadline in July for the New Mexico investigation because remember, nobody ever did any investigation with Epstein in New Mexico when he had that huge ranch. So all of this seems to be coming to a boil about the same time, despite the best efforts of Donald Trump and doj.
Yeah. And I think Democrats really need to take Ron as lead on this and pin child pedophilia on the Republican Party because you have Ken Paxton, who pardoned his best friend who raped a boy for three years, he raped an underage boy for three years. And he is running for Senate in Texas and he's endorsed by Donald Trump. So you basically have a person that's in the throes of all of these pedophile files, the Epstein files, who, if you Remember back in 2016, he endorsed Roy Moore in the Alabama Senate race. So always maga Republicans, MAGA Christians in particular, really seem to support child sexual assault. And they might say, oh, no, we don't. We're pro family. Your votes show us otherwise. And then here is Epstein, an Epstein aide, and she has been testifying behind closed doors. Pop this up. Jeffrey Epstein's assistant, Leslie Groff, revealed in a closed door interview that she arranged multiple phone calls between Trump and Epstein. Grof made travel arrangements for the girls, tended to their living needs and scheduled massage sessions. There was an email that, it's my understanding they asked her about yesterday or the day before. And the person's, their survivor's name was redacted, but basically said, hey, this Leslie said, hey, can I book you to do a massage? And the person responds, no, I have orch orchestra practice at school until 10, so I can't do that. At the same time time, this woman says she knew nothing about Jeffrey Epstein's impropriety yet. I don't know what the age of this person was, but clearly school aged that she had some sort of practice at school until 10. And all of the people just around this entire place lie and cover up, including, like you said, Howard Lutnick, who was sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden the other night. You know, these people are able to put their own children in danger as Howard Ludnick did you have Donald Trump who sexually harasses his own daughter on television when she's underage. And then all of these MAGA Christians that want to lecture us about genitals and sexuality and sex lives, when all I can see, every. Every chance I can see them, they are constantly defending and protecting child sex crimes.
That's because they're used to it. They do it for their youth pastors. They do it for their pastors. They do it for people in their churches. Because there has been a sex scandal in every religion. I mean, and not just like, oh, 500 years ago. This is happening in real time. And they continue. And Pete Hexeth's pastor, oh, I forgive pedophiles. You know, so these people don't give a shit about children because they're conditioned not to give a shit. And just one other thing I've got to say about this evil Leslie Grof. Here's the thing about her. She was a listed co conspirator in the 2008 plea deal between Jeffrey Epstein and Alex Acosta, where he was registered as a sex offender. And she continued to work for him. And you cannot tell me she did not know that she had been granted immunity. And she's like, well, I didn't even know I was in it. It's a scarlet letter for me. No, your actions, the consequences of your actions of scheduling little girls from orchestra practice with a registered sex offender, that's your scarlet letter, right?
And that is also Howard Lutnick and his wives. Yeah, they knew. They knew that he was a registered sex offender. They knew about the plea deal. And despite that, they're emailing him saying, hey, we. We can't wait to stop by your island for lunch. Our children are with us. Here are their ages, the moral rot, and the ability for these people to put their children around a sex offender. But, of course, Howard Lutnick has no issue going to work for Donald Trump, who sexually harasses his own daughter and sexualizes her all the time. I mean, this is a party of sexual degeneracy. And instead of focusing on their own, they want to focus on James Talaricos or Graham Platners. And the call is coming from inside the house. The call is coming from the guy at the top of the ticket. The President of the United States sexualizes his own daughter, sexually harasses his own daughter, Cankles deep in the Epstein files, adjudicated rapist. And then you just trickle down from there. And they all have this same rot. They're all sexually repressed degenerates. And instead of looking at themselves and their own fundamental Flaws. They want to say, oh, Talarico's trans. Oh, wait, he's a womanizer. They can't pick a lane because they're so sexually screwed up. And it is Republican. Christianity is such a cancer in this country because they sanctimoniously Bible thump about how they're all about these traditional family values. And when you dig into each of these families, which I don't want to dig into, it's not my business, but they're the ones who are all about this. They're all degenerates. Hexith, you know, he's been married a million times. He has a million kids. Elon Musk, Mr. Traditional Family Values Guy. I mean, he shops for baby mamas on Twitter, you know what I mean? Like, and then they do this. It's traditional nuclear family month. And I'm like, bitch, shut up. I mean, but I think within all of the people who have these very broken families, it provides them cover to not look inward. And then moving along. We reported a couple of days ago that Melania had been missing for three weeks. Much our surprise right after this reporting, she comes out of hiding. Yesterday, of course, to talk about AI, play the clip. To its ongoing success. I also want to recognize everyone who
took part in this first AI contest.
Students, educators, parents and administrators. Yes, you could applaud educators. Like, I would like to applaud the educators. I mean, it's just unbelievable. And I just want to keep this at the top of the news cycle. To the family values. Nuclear family women. You're supposed to service your husbands. That's your sole job. Melania Trump got $40 million from Jeff Bezos to produce a heaping pile of dog documentary unwatchable. But in the documentary, she intentionally wanted the world to know when she went to bed at night that she was across the house from him. She wanted the world to know I do. Not him. I know how bad it is, and I don't do it. And I want it memorialized forever. And can you imagine if Michelle Obama got grifted $40 million from Jeff Bezos and then made a point. Wasn't edited out. It was scripted. We're going to say good night to each other. She wants everyone to know. A part of me thinks he's as disgusting as you do. I'm just broken as well. And I just got $40 million. So you, and also middle America and the student educators, we're going to grift off of you as well. It's just, it's unbelievable. All the family value and These are their, these are, this is the nuclear family that they admire most.
It really is stunning because it is so obvious that Donald Trump is a heaping pile of dog and they continue to defend him. And then when we talk about glam Graham Platner and the things that he's done, people are like, oh, well. And I'm just like, I am not going to be lectured on morals and family values from any Republican. I can't do it. I'm not capable of listening to somebody that defends Donald Trump, grabbing him by the pussy and being an adjudicated rapist and say anything about a toxic relationship. I'm out. I am out. And I just want to say one thing. I'm old enough to remember that Melania came out and did her robot AI thing, talking about how robots would replace educators, which you say it better than me. So I. The hypocrisy, it reeks in every avenue of this administration from AI to Jeffrey Epstein to family values to we support the troops, we back the blue. Everything they say is a lie.
Yeah, they're pathological liars and sexual degenerates and emotionally stunted freaks. They are, they are. And then like I called Susan Collins a fascist the other day and some centrist Democrat was like, we shouldn't be using the these words. I'm like, well, what the is she then? Tell me, what is Susan Collins? What is she? A great champion for democracy, a great champion for the Constitution. What is she? Tell me, what does her voting record show us? It shows us that at at best, best case scenario for her, she is a huge fascist collaborator. But at this stage in fascism, aren't you a full blown fascist? If you continue to support all of the crimes and all the shit that this president does, I mean, can't we just call it what it is? All right, it's time for that spring and summer reset. And some of you, you know what you've got to do. And it's time to buy a new mattress. And I want to share with you the new mattress I just bought. I switched to a reserve hybrid mattress from Leesa. And it's been a much, much needed change. I'd become so used to waking up with aches and pains every morning that I forgot what a good night's sleep was supposed to feel like. Thank God for Lisa. Lisa has a lineup a beautifully crafted mattresses tailored to how you sleep. All you have to do is just go online and you can take the Leesa SL is and you'll find out your perfect Match in less than two minutes.

Lisa.com promo code I hip and speaking of fascists, Barry Weiss. So this woman is an absolute catastrophe. Race to the bottom. And now because Larry and David Ellison, and I want to remind you, Larry Ellison is BFFs with Benjamin Netanyahu. He funded the IDF. He sends money to the IDF. All right, while these are the people that are killing kids and this is the guy who's gobbling up all of American media. This is why we can't have 60 minutes anymore. This is why we can't have nice things anymore. And so you have to find a really morally broken person that doesn't believe in journalistic integrity, facts, truth, ethics. So you have to find a person that is worse than you. And what I mean by that is somebody who is willing to be your prostitute. So Barry Weiss is the prostitute of Larry and David Ellison. And now since she's done such a bang up job at cbs, the ratings are completely plummeted. FYI, now they plan for her to take over cnn. Pop this up. The New York Post is reporting that CBS boss Barry Wise poised to oversee CNN editorial operations. And so you know, this is really the era of prostitution. All right, we just found out from Amer Amanda Ungaro, allegedly that Melania was a two bit hooker passed from Jeffrey Epstein to Donald trump. You have J.D. vance, total prostitute, works for Peter Thiel. You have the President, United States prostitute, works for Elon Musk. I'm not, I'm sorry, Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu. Elon Musk to some extent, you know, he wants to be liberated. But Trump rat him when he can get. Nobody stands for anything. That's why I love like the Mark Ruffalo's of the world.
Yeah.
That don't give a shit. The Scott Pelley's of the world that have just rock solid conviction that it doesn't change. Their opinions, don't change. It's in them. It's in their DNA, it's who they are. The rest of these people are just all for sale. They're all prostitutes. Barry Wise right now, the biggest prostitute in media. Barry Weiss.
You know, it's interesting to me because I always have heard about the way the news is the way it is because they have to have corporate backing and the ratings are what tell corporate ads, buyers that we're good. And it keeps tanking and tanking and tanking at cbs. But now we're going to do the same thing at cnn. I hope there's a mass walkout of the real journalists at cnn, but I, I don't know if I believe that.
Hasn't CNN been incubating this though?
Yeah, I mean we have got, I
mean on there, haven't we been incubating the both Zavlov, I think the guy's name is, that runs CNN is kind of a Trump thumper, super Trump friendly. You know, this isn't, these aren't people who, you know, like the Washington Post during the Nixon era that really stood on business. This isn't the former, you know, 60 Minutes that, you know, exposed and took down pharmaceutical companies, tobacco companies, Big oil, big gas that shone a light on injustice and righted wrongs. There are some good, there is some good journalism from cnn, but this will be the death knell to it. But here's the thing that is interesting to me if you think about supply and demand. So Fox News basically has, Trump has a 30 approval rating. All of those people by and large watch Fox unless they need a bigger hit, they'll probably take if they want the hard hitting drugs, it's Newsmax or whatever, you know, what's his name, Alex Jones, if you really want to go like, you know, rock bottom. But that is a pretty fixed piece of the electorate. And so now they're trying, I guess they're trying to peel away Fox viewers. And so it's just really, I'm not, you know, a big business person or anything but the math to me just doesn't seem there by the numbers. But I don't think that's what he's interested in.
I don't either.
These people are interested in setting up a, a white capitalist ethnostate. And there are all of these players, these oligarchs, they'll do it. But at some point the oligarchs will and they are to an extent, they'll turn on each other and they'll cannibalize each other, much like MAGA already is. All right, that's all we have. Like subscribe, comment. We'll be back later with more news.
Episode Date: June 10, 2026
Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
Theme: The ongoing implications of the Epstein files—especially as they relate to Donald Trump, how the right-wing justifies sexual misconduct among its own, hypocrisy in "family values," and liberal commentary on media consolidation and corruption.
In this episode, Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan tackle explosive new developments from the Epstein investigation, highlighting alarming allegations against Donald Trump and his associates. The hosts dissect the intersection of political power, sexual abuse, and media complicity, all while offering their trademark, unfiltered progressive commentary. The recurring thread—hypocrisy in the GOP's self-proclaimed "family values"—runs through thoughtful, sometimes biting, analysis of related news stories.
Welch and Sullivan’s approach in this episode is to keep public attention on threads of elite sexual abuse, political hypocrisy, and the degradation of journalistic integrity. Their candor and irreverence serve as both a rallying cry and a sardonic coping mechanism in the face of what they argue is pervasive corruption at the highest levels of American power.
