About this episode
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss this morning’s Capitol Hill press conference featuring victims of abuse by Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump’s reaction, and the chances that the House will vote to release more of the Epstein files to the public. They also talk about the GOP’s plan to rebrand “The Big Beautiful Bill” in order to help keep control of the House in 2026, and a Washington Post article outlining the Democrat’s plan to retake the chamber. Next, Carl Cannon and RCP White House correspondent Phil Wegmann discuss the U.S. naval strike on a small craft in the Caribbean Sea that the Trump Administration claims was carrying drugs from Venezuela, as the U.S. ramps up pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolos Maduro. And finally, Maggie Miller talks to RealClear Investigations writer James Varney about an enormous data center under construction in rural Louisiana that will house servers for Meta’s rapid expansion into artificial intelligence. The $10 billion dollar project poses both challenges and opportunities for the local community and will require new sources of electricity. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
