Summary

On this episode of Fox Across America, guest host Rich Zeoli explains how Republicans in the House and Senate could have better handled the whole saga over documents related to disgraced ex-financer Jeffrey Epstein.

New York Post financial correspondent Lydia Moynihan gives her take on whether we’re going to see a list of people who were associated with Epstein.

Co-host of “The Big Money Show” on Fox Business Taylor Riggs discusses the challenges being a ‘MAHA Mom’ in a country with so many processed foods. PLUS, Fox News Digital Reporter Brooke Signman teases a major story she’s going to break regarding the actions of the FBI during Joe Biden’s presidency.

All right. Now, listen, you may have heard they passed the Epstein files. They passed that vote yesterday. You may have heard that. Might have gotten some news. got now don't hold your breath though that

1:10.9

you're going to actually be able to see anything anytime soon because that's the reality how this

1:15.6

was bungled so badly from the time that the attorney general pam bondie came out and did that little

1:22.0

binder show and handed out binders to influencers and said it's all going to come out but truth

1:26.5

is going to come out and then nothing out, leading to Democrats seizing the issue and running on it, even though, obviously, as we've said, as Jimmy said, as I've said many times, they had four years to do something on this and they never did. But that's how politics works. They caught an opportunity. They took the opportunity and they ran with it.

1:46.6

And then suddenly Republicans were on the defensive over this, which is insane, because

when Jeffrey Epstein was first arrested, people like Donald Trump and others just cut the guy off.

1:58.8

Hell, the Democrat Party kept the money that Jeffrey Epstein gave him, gave them, and they kept it and they still have it.

2:35.1

president's going to sign it, it's over. The issue is is over for now. But the fallout over

2:42.3

this and the problem is that it does name a lot of high profile Democrats as being part of this,

2:47.8

no doubt about it. But this should have been something that Republicans did months ago and they should have have been all over this because the reality is this. And I've been involved in politics for a long time, just so you know, you may have heard me fill in for Jimmy before, and you may have seen me on some various Fox News shows. I am, I was a political operative for most of my career until I got into radio. And I still do a little bit of, you know,

3:08.5
