You know, you're hanging your ass out there a little bit.

You know, when you say Tom Hanks is a pedophile, he's clearly not.

He's provably not.

But if you say he's an alien, nobody can...

Who's going to come up again?

Right? Welcome to Independent Americans.

Welcome to episode 401.

I'm, of course, your host, Paul Reichoff.

It is Tuesday, December 23rd. And here in New York City, where I'm coming to you from, host, Paul Reichoff. It is Tuesday, December 23rd.

Here in New York City, where I'm coming to you from, New York City, USA, it is rainy and gloomy. But we're going to brighten this day. We're going to brighten this season. It is only two days till Christmas, and today is Festivus. Festivus for the rest of us. Today is the actual day. And our guest today coming up in just a minute

is the king of Festivus himself, the great, powerful and wise Jason Alexander. Hooray,

you have asked for him. You ask for him every year. He is back for our annual Festivist episode.

Big shout out to my mother-in-law, Lainey, who asks me about every week when this episode is going to happen.

It is happening today. That's coming up in just a minute. And there's a lot happening all across the spectrum as the Christmas time and festivist surprises keep on coming.

Today, more Epstein files have been released, and some include references to Trump.

So the Justice Department released another batch of emails, tips, and records from his death.

The latest batch began to fall out on Friday, a deadline that Congress had put forward,

But stay tuned for that.

I'm sure we're going to see lots of weird photos and videos, and the media will be all over it. Also involving Trump and shameful things,
