Once the Schumer Shutdown collapsed by the defection of more compromising Democrats, we're back in a conveniently timed outbreak of Jeffrey Epstein mania, appearing to change the subject away to whatever Democrats wanted to discuss now. Hundreds of network minutes have been spent making hyper-negative noises on how President Trump's interactions with Epstein are the latest exhibit of his evil ways.
MRC Free Speech America VP Dan Schneider and MRCTV host Justine Brooke Murray join the show. The House Oversight Committee, which spent the summer investigating how Biden's White House staff hid his mental decline, was aerobically ignored until it took up the Epstein documents.
This didn't just attract hundreds of minutes of network news coverage this year. It's been a hot topic for late-night comedy in its anti-Trump crusade. NBC's Saturday Night Live was obsessed in its latest episode. It started with a dreadfully done awful satire of the White House briefing. There were three pre-recorded "McGruber" parodies with an Epstein theme. Then their "Weekend Update" fake news was truly fake: “In one of the emails, Epstein's brother asked if Vladimir Putin has a picture of Donald Trump giving oral sex to someone named Bubba. Which was an old nickname for Bill Clinton. So I guess that's one job Trump has created.”
On Sunday, Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming was on with Kristen Welker on Meet the Press, and he changed the subject to another Washington scandal, what they call Arctic Frost. The Biden Justice Department was doing surveillance on the phone records of their Republican adversaries, so that's the latest Zero Seconds story because the elitist media love to pretend the Biden Justice Department was nonpartisan and never stooped to politics.
The Washington Post reported newly released documents appear to show convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein texting with Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-Virgin Islands) during a 2019 hearing into Trump, suggesting what questions she should ask. The notorious “Epstein Island” is part of the Virgin Islands, between St. Thomas and St. John. This new story was completely avoided on the network Sunday shows even as they obsessed over Trump and Epstein being too close.
We also discussed some sad news on the dating scene these days from Bill Maher's HBO show. A survey found 45% of men 18-24 have never asked a woman out in person, and 63% of men under the age of 30 are not even pursuing a relationship. Are men that afraid of rejection? Are women harder to date because of feminism? What's the role of social media and gaming?
And then there's the troubles brewing in London with the BBC making fake news about Trump's speech to supporters on January 6, in addition to its pro-Hamas bias in Gaza and its very one-sided approach to transgender issues. "Public" broadcasting leans left throughout the Western world.
