Thanks, everybody. Welcome to another episode of the Tom Bill You Show Live. We're here with you guys to talk about everything that is going on in the world.

0:07.5

If you were paying attention this weekend and they were hoping you wouldn't be, you know that there's plenty going on.

0:13.9

The DOJ says it is done releasing the Epstein files. That's it, everybody, despite the fact that there appears to be a lot that's missing. Marjorie Taylor Green says Trump was the person most aggressively blocking the Epstein files. Retail buyers have flooded into the markets and record numbers higher than even the meme stock era, which I was shocked by, and I would just like to welcome

0:38.8

you all to the casino.

0:40.4

Enjoy.

0:41.3

We get an economic pulse check when a Pokemon card sells for a historic number that's

0:46.8

going to make your eyes water.

0:48.9

Free speeches on life support, as Spain announces that the CEOs of the social media firms

0:53.8

will be held criminally responsible for content on their platforms that does not conform to local laws.

1:20.6

right at the feet of Trump. Yeah. She, I'll be interested to see in the fullness of time what the

1:25.5

real story is. However, it really did seem

1:36.3

that I have friends and family that I love and who love me and I'm sucked into this weird

1:41.0

political game where everything is horrible, everybody's enemies, this is not interesting anymore, and I'm going to go back home. And I was like, yeah, I actually

1:49.2

get that. My pre-recognition of that is precisely why there's no universe in which I would ever

1:57.6

run for office, literally none. So yeah, I get that. Now, if that

2:03.0

ends up being true, then you get this narrow window where it's like she's not trying to get

2:07.0

reelected. She has hopefully actually broken the spell of politicians will do and say whatever

2:12.7

they need to to gain and retain power. If you're already in power and you have no intention of
