Summary
Thom lays out the facts we know about Jeffrey Epstein's disturbing history...... Epstein was hired by Bill Barr's father to teach high school girls, the same Bill Barr's father who wrote a novel about sex slavery. Epstein goes on to prosper in the sex trafficking business. Meanwhile, Trump's close friend Epstein introduces him to Melania Knauss, and they end up married. Epstein gets arrested and Barr recuses himself because his law firm defended Epstein, then un-recuses himself after talking with Trump. Woman files a lawsuit saying that both Epstein and Trump raped her when she was 13; it's certified by a court. Following Epstein's arrest, reports come out that Barr's Justice Department now has hundreds of videos, movies and pictures of Epstein's rich and powerful male friends having sex with the girls he's been trafficking. Barr supervises the prison Epstein is put in, where he mysteriously dies. Now cons are suggesting Bill Clinton is behind this and trending with help from foreign bots. - Thom summarizes the strangeness surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case with Morris in Long Beach. - Was Epstein operating a honeypot? And Jean in Pennsylvania wants to know what we can do to investigate and prosecute The criminal 'Coverup-General' Bill Barr! - Thom fact-checks the Epstein case with Bob Ney of Talk Media News. - Thom reads from 'No Visible Bruises: What we don't know about domestic violence can kill us' by Rachel Louise Snyder. - Thom debates the Epstein case with a conservative who believes the right-wing propaganda stories being spread around out there. - Lisa Stifler joins Thom- she is the senior council for the Center for Responsible Lending, which is alarmed at the restrictions Trump's people are about to lift on debt collector harassment. - Thom looks at a case in Oregon where an elderly man and his wife commit suicide because of overwhelming medical bills- is this what America has come to?.. And Bernie throws down with the health insurance lobbyists.
