Right now, I'm here with my amazing guest, Steve Schmidt, and we're going to be talking about a whole host of different topics, ranging from the latest in the Epstein cover-up, particularly the J.D. Vance meeting with Pambandi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. We'll be talking about Republican gerrymandering and what's going on in Texas right now, plus J.D. Vance just had a meeting. This might be a Vance, heavy episode, frankly. Vance had a meeting in Indiana that apparently didn't go very well, trying to get Indiana to redistrict. We'll talk about the economy and a few other topics. This meeting that may or may not have happened, Jady Vance says it's not happening or it didn't happen between Vance, Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche.

And the thing that Tara has broken through to me

1:26.8

about on this story is this.

1:31.3

Is that this is not a partisan story, right?

1:36.3

This is a story about power abusing innocence.

1:48.9

And when this list, and there is a list,

1:50.9

there will be some prominent Democrats on this list.

2:04.9

And the reality is that there are some of the wealthiest people that you could imagine among them now, Donald Trump, who were best friends with this man.

2:09.5

And when they went into his geographies, what they saw were not young women, as in 22, 23, 24, around a billionaire.

2:26.4

What they saw was 12 and 13 or 14-year-olds. And the person that curated these girls,

the monster that made this possible,

2:41.9

is the subject of a dinner

at the vice presidential residence

2:48.9

between the attorney general, the vice president, who are going to interfere in the process of justice,
