Starts at about 11 min, ends at 1 hour 22 min. In the parts I could listen to (about 10 minutes then skipped through a bit). I heard a lot of statements about holding powerful men accountable, but nothing that would clearly point at the felon.

But nothing about knowing all about "the girls" long ago and therefore, at a minimum, complicit in the ongoing conduct by remaining silent and enabling it.

She needs to first humbly apologize to (Hogg?) the school shooting survivor she harassed,
before I can ever believe she's sincerely charged her spots

Else she's just an early rat leaving Dirty Donald's sinking ship

She is the lone Republican congressperson to call Gaza a genocide. She basically called Trump a traitor last week.

The fact is she was able to accept, if not approve of, much of the MAGA agenda. Her position on the Epstein issue is a necessary, but insufficient condition to warrant trust. Time will tell.

32. Ro Khanna & Massie worked together on sponsoring the bill
Wed Nov 19, 2025, 01:10 PM
Wednesday

And MTG worked aggressively with them to get it through. Trump has let it be known he hates Massie & MTG and will get his wealthy donors to primary them.

Top Libertarian podcasters who have millions of views are backing Massie & MTG against Trump. And top Republican podcasters - Candace & Tucker very into Massie & MTG. . Candace apologized to her audience for telling them to vote for Trump. (Candace had the number one podcast in the world this week because of her Charlie Kirk murder sleuthing)

MTG has a good chance for the Republican VP spot because Republicans like how involved she is in Epstein case and young Republicans like her anti-war, anti genocide views.


Ro Khanna is getting very popular with the young Democrats especially after co sponsoring this bill. He’s active on X, ( one post of his got 23 million views) goes on lots of podcasts and live streams, does town halls, roundtables in colleges. He knows how to promote himself to the youth the way Mamdani does.

The Epstein files bill would not have passed without the work of Congressman @RoKhanna.

It's a rarity discharge petitions reach 218 signatures.

It's even rarer for them to pass the House and the Senate in one day.

NEW - I spent yesterday with @RoKhanna, as *his bill* passed for the Epstein files release. He explained how he did it, and what that means:

“On one of the biggest things, which is getting MAGA on board, it’s not just ideas. I’m able to get things done.” https://cnn.com/2025/11/19/politics/epstein-files-ro-khanna

By 2028 she will be a seasoned and dignified states-person whose courage to stand up to Trump will be admired and respected by one and all (well not all).

23. Did Trump discourage her from running next year?
Tue Nov 18, 2025, 02:48 PM

Ossof is off to a good start. Fundraising looks good and republicans are pretty divided. I also see that his approval rating is at 51/34 approval which isn’t bad in a battleground state.

If democrats manage to make it a wave election next year, he should win. That will be one very expensive senate race.

I think Warnock will also be in good shape heading into 2028, unless Kemp runs. That could make things more challenging.

MTG is working overtime to rehabilitate her image, but she’s done enough damage. No democrat is going to fall for her BS contrition, and MAGAts hate her now.

She'll get primaried out of the race.

Same with any effort to win a Senate election - the Republican base won't allow her to get to the general election.

She can't be taken credibly if she runs as a Democrat; her track record is just too strongly against such a switch.

Fetterman "Trump" Score = 4.62
Greene "Trump" Score = 95.14

But, yeah, MTG could challenge Fetterman from the left...

I bet some of Trumps big donors who are threatening to primary her were on -as Massie called it - Rape Island.
