Donald Trump has finally thrown in the towel and caved on releasing the Epstein files after realizing that up to 100 House Republicans planned to reject the President's directive and vote for the disclosure. Trump's incredible about-face — from calling the issue a "Democratic hoax" one day to urging Republicans to vote for release the next — shows just how much his influence over the MAGA coalition has weakened.
Jimmy claims this episode reveals a broader collapse of Trump's control as lawmakers, donors, and influencers increasingly resist him over issues from foreign policy to worker visas. This Epstein-file vote provides yet more evidence that Trump's political power has fractured and that his base is now holding him accountable rather than following him.
Plus segments on Trump's unhinged meltdown over Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene's MAGA apostasy and Trump's secret plan to keep the Epstein files hidden.
Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a hilarious phone call from JD Vance!
