Summary

Images of Epstein’s island reveal a penchant for creepy decor and a commitment to oral hygiene, Pete Hegseth gets cagey about turning over his phone for the Signalgate investigation, the Pentagon’s press team is replaced by MAGA personalities, and Jordan Klepper investigates Trump’s commitment to being labeled a “president of peace,” signage and all. Afraid of the woke leftists’ war against Christmas? Keep the sanctity of the holiday season alive with the brand-new Trump Tinsel, made from recycled shreddings of the Epstein files. The president promised he was going to release them, but he never said how! Frontman of the band Dropkick Murphys, Ken Casey, sits down with Jordan Klepper to discuss their latest album, “For The People.” They talk about the roots of punk in political activism, getting inspiration from bands who sang about Reagan, Bush, and the Queen of England, encouraging other musicians to speak out for social justice in their music, and a viral bet with a fan that led to an open political dialogue.
