Key themes include the refusal of Bill and Hillary Clinton to testify on their Epstein connections, revelations about Rep.

Tim Burchett, alongside a discussion of ICE raids in Charlotte, NC, and commentary on the generational shift in American political culture.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Epstein Files Release and Congressional Corruption

• Congressional Push to Unseal Epstein Files:
  Both chambers have passed bills calling for all Epstein files to be released, with particular attention to how past efforts to weaponize these files against Donald Trump have boomeranged on Democrats, allegedly implicating their own members, especially the Clintons and Stacey Plaskett.
  (00:25–05:51)

"As Democrats have swung as hard as they possibly can on Epstein to hit Donald Trump, they've actually knocked their own ball sack back up into their body. It really hurts. The boomerang, ladies and gentlemen, is severe and it is hitting hard the Clintons right now." — Benny Johnson (00:31)

• Deal-Making, Censure, and Bipartisan Failure:
  Benny spotlights a failed vote to censure Rep. Stacey Plaskett—accused of receiving contributions from Epstein and texting him for political strategy—due to a covert deal between Republicans and Democrats. This deal was struck to protect Republican Corey Mills from censure over separate allegations, sacrificing accountability in favor of mutual protection.
  (16:00–24:37)

"The disgusting thing about it was full of public Republicans chose not to vote. ... They cut a deal on another on an ethics vote on a Republican. And that's just wrong. … It's just disgusting." — Tim Burchett (19:42–21:44)

2. Stacey Plaskett’s Ties to Epstein

• The Charges:
  Plaskett, a non-voting delegate from the US Virgin Islands, was deeply connected to Epstein (who operated much of his criminal activity out of the same region) and was exposed through text messages as coordinating attacks on Trump with Epstein during Congressional hearings.

• Failed Censure Vote and GOP Frustration:
  Audio and social media reactions are quoted, underscoring anger at GOP leadership for deal-making that prevented Plaskett’s censure and for allowing someone "so compromised" to remain on the House Intelligence Committee.
  (18:32–24:37)

"She was getting texts from Jeffrey Epstein, contributions from him, and you don't hear a peep out of the Democrats over it. And then the vote to censure her, which you ought to vote to kick her ass out of Congress is what we ought to do. She doesn't even have a vote on the floor on contested votes because she's a delegate and that she's sitting on the Intelligence Committee." — Tim Burchett (64:19)

3. James Comer, DOJ Referrals, and the Clintons

• Criminal Referrals Threatened:
  House Oversight Chair James Comer, as well as Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and Benny, argue that if Bill and Hillary Clinton continue refusing to comply with subpoenas to testify regarding Epstein, they should face criminal prosecution à la Steve Bannon/Peter Navarro.
  (37:57, 42:15–43:20, 48:55–50:23)

"We expect the Clintons to come in, or I expect the Clintons to be met with the same fate that Bannon and Peter Navarro were met with by Democrats in control." — James Comer (49:12)

• Democrats Accused of Double Standards:
  The episode highlights what Benny describes as Democratic hypocrisy: aggressively pursuing Trump’s supposed ties to Epstein while “ignoring” their own side’s deeper, documented connections—including prominent donors and party elites.

"The Clintons have never responded. They're the one group in this investigation that has never had to answer questions in front of any credible reporter ever." — James Comer (paraphrased by Benny, 41:52–42:48)

4. Media Accountability & Memorable Soundbites

• Media Complicity Called Out:
  Benny plays a Project Veritas clip featuring ABC anchor Amy Rohrbach, frustrated over her network's initial refusal to air her Epstein investigation implicating the Clintons and Prince Andrew.
  (56:36–57:47)

"What we had was unbelievable. Clinton, Prince Andrew Dershowitz. We had all the victims on the air and ABC News nukes it." — Benny, paraphrasing Amy Rohrbach (57:47)

• Donald Trump’s White House Roasts:
  Included is Trump’s sharp exchange with an ABC News reporter about Epstein, with Trump positioning himself as having repudiated Epstein, unlike Democrats.
  (58:41–61:02)

"As far as the Epstein files, I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. I threw him out of my club many years ago because I thought he was a sick pervert ... But you know who does? Bill Clinton, Larry Summers…" — Donald Trump (58:41)

5. Bipartisan Political Critique and Generational Analysis

• Failures of Leadership in Both Parties:
  Benny repeatedly expresses disillusionment with the "Uniparty" and the system’s inability to “clean house,” noting the double standards regarding fitness for office (focusing on both Biden and McConnell’s physical/mental lapses) and lack of accountability within Republican ranks. (44:00–47:44)

• Generational Rifts and Future of Populism:
  Emphasizes a shift—among young people and the broader base—away from old-guard party politics toward a demand for authentic anti-corruption reforms, transparency, and bold action.

"It's up to us. The party that can most severely and most effectively gut corruption, expose corruption, present on a platter safety, security for the American people — that party will win the future for a generation." — Benny Johnson (90:23)

6. Charlotte ICE Raids, Immigration, and 2024 Strategy

• Real-World Impact of ICE Raids:
  A segment with Michael Whatley covers major ICE actions in Charlotte, highlighting the sudden disappearance of half the city’s school attendance, empty roads, and deserted job sites as indirect evidence of a large illegal population. (80:40–85:46)

"All of the roads around Charlotte, North Carolina are green this morning. There's no traffic at all. Schools are at like 50% attendance because there's ICE raids going on… It begs the question, like in these large municipalities, like how many illegals are there actually in these areas?" — Benny Johnson (03:25)

• Whatley on GOP Election and Immigration Strategy:
  Whatley outlines a tough-on-crime plan for North Carolina and the necessity of enforcing immigration laws, warning about Democrats flooding red states with illegal immigrants to change electoral outcomes.
  (81:51–86:45)

For Listeners Who Missed It

This episode is a kinetic, angry, and at times darkly humorous exposé of party politics, hypocrisy, and corruption in DC, using the Epstein files controversy as a case study in systemic rot and the need for real reform. It features exclusive Congressional reactions, pointed interviews, and a clear call for both sides to abandon self-protection in favor of accountability—especially regarding high-level actors like Stacey Plaskett and the Clintons.

Skip the product ads, but pay attention to the real-time soundbites from Burchett, Comer, Luna, and Trump for an unfiltered look at how the right is processing—and weaponizing—the Epstein saga.
