The Real Epstein Elite Narrative That Matters, Trump's Files Power Play, Plus Dems' 2028 Forecast

As breaking news hits the House on its vote to force release of the Epstein files, Mark Halperin opens today’s show with his reported monologue on what comes next in the continuing scandal. He reveals the real story behind the years-long cover-up — the network of elites who closed ranks to protect their own — and explains why public disclosure won’t quiet the conspiracy theories or satisfy either political party. Plus, Mark unpacks the political calculations shaping Trump’s response.Former Congressman Steve Israel then joins Mark to break down the mounting criticism of Chuck Schumer from the Democratic left, the pressures reshaping Senate leadership, and how Democrats are already mapping out the 2028 landscape — from Rahm Emanuel to Gavin Newsom. Israel also previews his new historical spy thriller Einstein Conspiracy, weaving Einstein, Nazi spies, and a Long Island bookstore into a gripping narrative that blends real events and fiction.Finally, Mark is joined by Democratic strategist Ashley Etienne and the Daily Caller’s Amber Duke to unpack the political forces driving today’s Epstein developments, what the newly released documents reveal about Trump’s ability to control what gets released, and why elites and regular Americans see the story so differently. They also dig into the future of the Affordable Care Act and the strategic opportunities — and liabilities — both parties face heading into 2026 and 2028, and more.Bank On Yourself: Discover the retirement plan banks don’t want you to know about—get your free report at https://BankOnYourself.com/MarkHome Title Lock: Go to https://hometitlelock.com/mark and use promo code MARK to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of their Triple Lock Protection!
