And ladies and gentlemen, there are more stories coming.
As I sit here today, I tell you, some of the people who've already paid a price or gotten a lot of negative coverage for their interactions with Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell, even though the documents are out there already, 3 million pages,
Not everybody's read through everything.
So there's more coming.
And then the question is, is it survivable for anybody?
What's the standard?
And I've been surprised and haven't really figured it out yet.
Some people, in my hierarchy of wrongdoing, there are people who've done worse related to Epstein who seem fine in their jobs, in their lives.
And then there's people who've done less who are already out of their jobs.
And again, I say with as much modesty as I can muster, I know as much about this as anybody, anybody alive, as it pertains to American politics and media.
And I can't figure it out.
I cannot figure out the standards that are being used.
Again, some of it's happenstance.
And a lot of it is how the world has changed right now because –
the ability of a person under attack to have three things going for them that didn't exist at the beginning of my career.
One is digital media, the ability to be your own war room and fight back by putting out your own stuff.
That's number one.
Number two is the tribes, the red-blue tribes.
If you're a red person and you're in the Epstein files and they're trying to take you down, they, I say in air quotes,
and you rally the red tribe behind you, you're fine.
