Descripción

Tara Palmeri sits down with royal biographer Andrew Lownie to expose what may be the most dangerous dimension of the Epstein scandal: the intelligence operation behind it. Lownie, author of "The Rise and Fall of the House of York," reveals an FBI document describing how Russian and Chinese intelligence services targeted Prince Andrew through women, money, and contacts — and how Andrew was a willing participant, driven by hatred for his brother King Charles. Andrew Lownie details honey traps from Libya to Central Asia, Andrew requesting prostitutes on official trips (including 40 in Thailand — charged to taxpayers), a €10,000 payment for a former Miss Slovakia in Prague, and the deeper question of whether Epstein was just a player in a wider intelligence conspiracy involving Robert Maxwell, Mossad, and the Barr family's Dalton School connection. They also break down why Lownie doesn't believe Epstein's recently surfaced suicide note is real — citing forensic pathologist evidence, mysterious guard payments, failed cameras, and Epstein's own insistence days before his death that it would be "crazy" to kill himself. Plus: Bill Barr's unexplained prison visit, why Epstein's key staff have never been subpoenaed, what Andrew's fall means for King Charles's reign, and why William wants this dealt with before he inherits the throne. #politics #epsteinfiles #princeandrew 0:00 – Intro: The intelligence operation behind the Epstein scandal 1:42 – The FBI document: Russian and Chinese intelligence targeting Prince Andrew 5:26 – Honey traps, €10,000 for Miss Slovakia, and 40 prostitutes on taxpayer expenses 10:38 – Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine, and the intelligence origins of the Epstein operation 15:41 – The suicide note Lownie doesn't believe — and the evidence for homicide 20:49 – Bill Barr's prison visit, Mark Epstein, and the witnesses never subpoenaed 25:03 – What Andrew's fall means for King Charles and the future of the monarchy Learn more about your ad choices.

What Happens When a Pro-Life Congresswoman Needs an Abortion?

Tara Palmeri sits down with Republican Congresswoman Kat Cammack of Florida for a wide-ranging and unusually candid conversation. A former Capitol Hill chief of staff before she was elected, Cammack draws on both sides of the power dynamic to describe a culture she calls "college 2.0" — late nights, alcohol, lobbyists, and a steep imbalance that she argues lets harassment flourish among members and staff alike. As chair of the Republican Women's Caucus, she's co-leading a bipartisan working group with Democrat Teresa Leger Fernández to overhaul how misconduct is reported and punished: consolidating the maze of six separate reporting offices into a single "one-stop shop," requiring candidates to disclose past sexual-misconduct settlements, and stripping congressional pensions from those convicted. Tara presses her on the tensions, too — reconciling a zero-tolerance push with supporting a president who has been accused by more than two dozen women, and why she believes the Epstein files (which she says she's called to release since 2021) became a partisan weapon that ultimately hurt survivors. In the most personal stretch of the interview, Cammack recounts the life-threatening ectopic pregnancy that forced her to terminate to save her life, the delays she faced in the ER under Florida's six-week law, the disinformation campaign she says geofenced hospitals to frighten doctors, and the death threats she's received for telling her story. It's an emotional, often-uncomfortable conversation about power, accountability, and the human cost of playing politics with women's health. Note: this episode includes a frank discussion of pregnancy loss and a medical emergency that some viewers may find difficult. Thanks to Ground News for sponsoring the show!

The 5 Things JD Vance Got Wrong About Trump & Epstein

Tara Palmeri does something cable news won't: she fact-checks JD Vance's appearance on "The View" line by line, as the vice president recasts himself as the lone transparency champion of the Epstein scandal. Tara walks through the claims one by one — that Trump "reported Epstein to the police" (he didn't; he made a July 2006 call only after the investigation was underway), that Trump "threw Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago" (Trump has claimed Epstein was never even a member), and that the 2.5 million still-missing files are just "duplicates" or "under judicial seal." She brings in Rep. Madeleine Dean's account of reading a fully redacted email — subject line: Trump — between Epstein's attorney and Trump's attorney, and lays out the real reason Trump turned on Epstein: a 2004 Palm Beach bidding war over a mansion called the "House of Friends," not the girls. Then Tara digs into the bombshell New York Times reporting on Epstein's mental state and final days at the Metropolitan Correctional Center — new cellmate interviews describing shredded sheets, at least three prior suicide attempts, and a discovered noose, set against a crime scene so mismanaged it was never treated as a possible homicide. In the second half, Jim Acosta joins to unpack the Haberman/Swan "Situation Room freak-out," the mystery of who was recording inside a SCIF, Todd Blanche's forward-leaning push (and his reward: the AG nomination), the pardon-for-Maxwell quid pro quo, James Comer shutting the investigation down, and why the men named in the files — Leon Black, Jes Staley — still haven't testified. 0:00 – JD Vance on "The View": breaking down the Epstein claims line by line 3:48 – Fact-check: Trump didn't report Epstein; the July 2006 call to Palm Beach police 6:06 – The veto-proof Transparency Act and Mike Johnson's delay tactics 7:21 – Rep.
