Jessica Tarlov

And I'm Jessica Tarliff.

I feel like we have to start with how overwhelmed everyone is.

Yeah.

Because I don't know if it's something that is weighing on you like it's weighing on me, but I feel like someone is sitting on my chest basically every time that I have to prepare for something or even to talk to a friend who I know is interested in politics or whatever.

Doesn't even have to be interested in politics anymore.

I mean, these stories are breaking through to normie folks that are going about their business.

You know, my friend texted me asking, do you know a place where I can get an objective take on what's in these Epstein files?

I had no answer for her.

I can't even point to major publications to say that they've been doing a good job of ingesting these files or telling us what's in them.

Being able to cull through 3 million documents in a matter of hours is impossible.

There were huge mistakes made also that naked images were released at first, names of survivors unredacted that had to be taken down from the DOJ site.

And

You know, it's like a poo-poo platter of hellscapes that you can pick from with what's going on in this news cycle.

Epstein, the 2020 election ballots, Donald Trump's conversation with Dan Bongino, which I want to get into, the story about...

You know, a shake buying a 49 percent stake in the Trump family crypto account four days before inauguration.

I mean, that should be a presidency ending story on its own.

And the Wall Street Journal did a huge investigation into it.

And I feel like it barely made it into most people's algorithms.

because of how much is being flooded.

And I went back and revisited Steve Bannon's original flood the zone comment from 2019.
