And in a lot of ways, it's sort of the same old, at least in terms of foreign policy.

Yeah, you're getting the Muslim ban, Trump.

He wasn't exactly subtle about this.

Exactly.

Well, I guess the one difference is he's willing now to take graft from Qatar.

So he's willing to also take bribes from Muslim countries.

Yeah, I mean, so right now.

Looking out at MAGA, as far as I, you know, as you said, it's been a few hours.

I think people are kind of trying to figure out how to react.

I mean, there has been this sort of, among the people I cover, there's been this kind of simmering resentment at Susie Wiles, this feeling that, you know, she's this gatekeeper who won't let them truly run amok in the way they want.

And so...

periodically you get these kind of thinly sourced stories that are saying, you know, Susie's the one who, you know, won't let us do really ramp up deportations or something like that.

I don't think that's necessarily true, but I suspect that they'll be happy.

You know, this interview sort of suggests that she's on her way out.

Well, that's a funny one, because it's almost like they're suggesting, you know, this Epsi network goes deeper than we could ever imagine.

You know, they're in the Bureau of Prisons.

They got Ghislaine this cozy transfer, coincidentally, after this interview with Todd Blanche, where she exonerated Trump, which I'm sure had nothing to do with it.

The Ghislaine thing, I'm so glad you're focusing on this.

Every time we talk about Epstein, and there's gonna be more Epstein news later this week, when the files are supposed to be released, we'll see if they are.

It's just crazy how relatively rarely Ghislaine comes up because that is such a smoking gun that there was some kind of quid pro quo.
