0.389 - 20.24 Ben Shapiro

Folks, we have a jam-packed show for you here today. Vivek Ramaswamy will be joining us later to talk about his Ohio gubernatorial run. We're going to do like a full breakdown of the Oscars. I made a full breakdown. I actually slogged through virtually all of the Best Picture nominees on your behalf. So we'll go through all of those and we'll get to everything related to Ukraine and Doge.

But we begin today with... Basically what appeared to be some sort of Geraldo Rivera reveal of the Epstein files. Y'all remember that episode of Geraldo Rivera in which he tried to open Al Capone's vault and then he did and there was nothing inside? Well, it was basically that. And this has led to a bunch of speculation that secretly somewhere the Epstein files are still there.

And that actually the lack of justification for more material being out there is demonstrated by the lack of material. This sort of stuff is annoying. I want all the Epstein files out there. Every single bit of it. All of it. As much unredacted as humanly possible. The only parts, theoretically, that should be redacted are things to protect the victims.

Certainly nothing to protect the allegations against perpetrators. I want to know exactly who Jeffrey Epstein was, who was opping him, because the question of how he made his money is a serious question, and why he was basically allowed by law enforcement to gallivant around performing atrocities against young women on behalf of powerful men.

with his girlfriend, Paramore, and co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell and all the rest of this. But that did not happen yesterday. And I got to say, I think that these distractions are really not great for the Trump administration. They're really not. The Trump administration has very serious work. I keep saying this because it's important.

95.524 - 119.013 Ben Shapiro

I want the Trump administration to be highly successful, and there are important things to do. We need to rebuild the American economy and unleash its dynamism. We need to get our debt under control. We need to cleanse DEI from all aspects of the federal government. We need to reshape America's foreign policy around rising threats like China. There's tons to do and not a lot of time to do it.

119.613 - 137.597 Ben Shapiro

And so these sorts of shiny object distractions that don't materialize into anything, I think that they are a problem. And I think that, again, they lend credence to the opponents of the Trump administration, which I don't want to happen. Well, yesterday was kind of a bleep show, frankly, when it came to the Epstein file. Basically, it is now Friday.

137.757 - 150.543 Ben Shapiro

On Wednesday, Pam Bondi, the attorney general of the United States, had announced that she would be releasing some new Epstein files, that there would be new files showing names that we hadn't seen before, materials that we hadn't seen before. Here she was explaining.

152.024 - 158.827 Jesse Waters

You said last week that you have the Epstein files on your desk. When can we see them and what's taking so long to release them?
