Trump heads into 2026, the weakest he's ever been, and he put that on full display with

his final statements during the holiday break.

And I've got three interviews.

Roe-Kana and Robert Garcia discusses major updates with the Epstein files, and Norm Eisen

discusses a surprise Trump lost at the U.S. Supreme Court.

I'm Brian Tyler Cohen, and you're listening to No Lie. The last few weeks of this year have shown us something that we've not seen at any point

in Trump's term, and that is an increasingly weak, isolated, desperate lame duck president.

The Epstein files have exposed themselves as Trump's Achilles heel, ironically enough, because

it was his administration, his right-wing media, his allies, who groomed their supporters

into recognizing that any involvement with Epstein's pedophile ring is a red line.

J.D. Vance, Cash Patel, Dan Bongino, Pam Bondi, all ran on this idea that they would expose the

wealthy, powerful individuals who conspired with Epstein to cover up his heinous crimes.

Turns out, the individual who would do the most to cover up those crimes was the guy that they're working for. This week, Trump took to choose social on Christmas night when he was supposed to be celebrating Republicans' hard-fought victory in the war on Christmas,

where we can now go into department stores and hear the clerks finally unafraid to say Merry Christmas,

went online on Christmas and tried to distance himself from Epstein by attacking, quote,

sleazebags who attended his parties, which is quite the statement for a guy who very famously is seen in footage with Epstein at his parties.

But it got worse. The day after Christmas, Trump took to choose social again to write, quote, now a million more pages on Epstein are found. DoJ is being forced to spend all of its time on this Democrat-inspired hoax. When do they say no more and work on election fraud, etc? The Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not the Republicans, release all of their names, embarrass them, and get back to helping our country.

The radical left doesn't want people to talk about Trump and Republican success,

only a long ago dead Jeffrey Epstein, just another witch hunt.

So I don't know how much more on the nose it gets than Trump literally just demanding

that nothing else incriminating come out about Republicans.

Like, I wonder who that's intended to protect.
