Fundraising, we're hearing, is pouring in from major donors.

And you have a lot of analysts pointing to the fact that TPUSA has played a major role in shifting young male voters in particular toward Republicans.

And a lot of commentators are noting that Democrats are now struggling in that demographic.

And then, you know, I would say that maybe one of the greatest indicators of their growing influence was the appearance of rapper Nicki Minaj at their America Fest conference just this month.

So, of course, Minaj is about as mainstream pop culture as it gets.

And she was there to advocate for Christians being persecuted in Nigeria.

But she did also praise Trump and TPUSA.

And that really does seem to mark a pretty significant cultural shift.

Yep.

My pleasure.

Yeah, John.

So thanks to the Epstein Files Transparency Act that was passed just last month, the DOJ has now released an initial batch of over 13,000 files.

These include investigative materials, grand jury transcripts from cases that were adjudicated in the early 2000s,

also police reports, flight logs, handwritten phone messages, and the headline makers, dozens of photographs.

So much of this material was already public from prior lawsuits or congressional releases, but we do have some new items, like a 1996 complaint from artist Maria Farmer, and that alleges that Epstein possessed and distributed child pornography involving her underage sisters.

And then there's also more detailed victim testimonies describing recruitment and abuse that was facilitated by Ghislaine Maxwell.

Right.

Unfortunately not.

Basically, I would say what these documents do is reinforce what we already knew.

Epstein and Maxwell recruited underage girls for sexual massages that often escalated.
