0:00.0	Welcome to the show, everybody.
0:09.0	It is Tuesday, July 29th, 2025.
0:13.6	You know, if you had MAGA civil war over Jelaine Maxwell on your 2025 bingo card.
0:23.3	You win a lifetime supply of bleach or something.
0:26.9	I don't know what to tell you because it is not something I had on my bingo card.
0:30.4	And Donald Trump is now, for the time being, refusing to rule out a pardon for Jolene Maxwell. We'll get to that later. She's the convicted
0:39.7	sex trafficker who helped Jeffrey Epstein abuse his victims. That Jelaine Maxwell, when Trump was
0:47.5	asked about pardoning her, he simply said, I'm allowed to do it, which is not a denial that he's planning to do it.

1:29.7	bubbling of the maga civil war that we are seeing over this issue and i'll be completely frank
1:35.1	i would not have predicted that this was going to be what rips maga apart so let's go to maga
1:41.3	mike johnson on msnbc where he was asked about this, and here's what
1:46.2	he had to say. If you're asking my opinion, I think 20 years was a pittance. I think she should
1:51.2	have a life sentence at least. I mean, think of all these unspeakable crimes. And as you noted earlier,
1:56.7	probably a thousand victims. I mean, you know, this, this is, it's hard to put into words how
