Hey, everyone. It is Friday, April 24, 2026. Allison's out today, so I'm Dana Goldberg,

and this is Beinstock.

Hey, everybody. As I said, my co-host isn't with me today, so you are stuck with me just for a few

minutes, and I'm glad you're here watching. Now, Sunday night, if you're a patron,

you get this the night before they're released to the public. Okay? So, uh, we have a patron

happy hour Zoom that is going to be on Thursday, April 30th. So if you're not a patron,

we want you to be. And patrons, by the way, check your email. Okay, check your email at noon

Pacific time, which is 3 p.m. Eastern this Saturday, this Saturday for a lane to get tickets to our exclusive gala in Chicago on June 20th because we want to see you there. It's going to be a ton of fun. We have a big fun guest coming in addition to all of our regulars. And I think some of you already know who that is, but I'm not going to say here, just in case you've got to wait for the email or you may already have it. So thank you,

by the way, for becoming a patron and supporting independent media by visiting patreon.com

slash the Daily Beans. If you're not already a patron, that's how you can join us. All right,

I've got clips for you today because they're pretty magical.

because she was questioning Howard Lutnik on the hill today.

With the survivors, I again went to the Department of Justice to review the unredacted Epstein files,

to seek accountability and justice for the victims, the more than 1,000 victims and survivors.

And today, Secretary Letnik, I have some questions for you about what I saw.

Let's start with your relationship with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

In October, you told the New York Post with colorful narration
