So the fact that this had to be scheduled, I just think tells you a lot about the priorities of the Trump administration and who they're responsive to. Outside of the view of almost everybody listening to this, except for those who, like me, enjoy following random MAGA weirdos on social media, there's been some angst.

about how the FBI has not been following through on a lot of the conspiracy theories that were advanced in the MAGA world. Why hasn't any of the Biden crime family been arrested yet is something that comes up. Why haven't they revealed that it was the deep state that was behind the assassination attempts or the Russia hoax?

Why haven't they revealed that it was the Clintons that were behind the Epstein murder? There's some... Some of the people, some of the rubes want the payoff on the QAnon stuff. They got the QAnon guys and the FBI, so where's the payoff? And so in order to manage this, Cash and Bongino do a joint interview with Maria Barrett Romo, the biggest conspiracy theorist on Fox. It's just an insane scene.

And I want to play a couple of clips from it. First, their response to the Epstein situation.

The lady doth protest too much, maybe a little bit for me. I don't know. I always come back to why Epstein didn't kill himself. There's not a conspiracy theory about Donald Trump, who we know had a very close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, was pictured with him, flew with him, was president when Jeffrey Epstein killed himself.

So he was in the custody of federal officials in the Trump administration. He had cabinet members and Alex Acosta that did lawyering on behalf of Epstein, at least his firms did. And so... I don't know. Anyway, if you're going to be a conspiracy theorist, it's kind of intriguing. It's kind of intriguing. I don't know. Maybe it's Trump or maybe it's nothing.

But it's funny that these guys had to go do the hostage tape about how Jeffrey Epstein really killed himself. What did you think? Did you enjoy that clip?

I did. I was a little struck also that, of course, they were able to knock down conspiracies when they want to and say, I've looked at the facts and it's not true. So for me, it brings home how unbelievably – irresponsible is not even close to the word, cynical and demagogic they are in exploiting the people who believe in all these things. They don't believe it.
