Epstein, the Pope, and a Nation at a Breaking Point
This week, two huge stories blew up the news. One is about the Epstein Files and the growing list of rich and powerful names connected to a man whose entire life was built on darkness. And the other is about Speaker Mike Johnson responding to Pope Leo saying something that made half the country cheer and the other half lose their minds.
By the end of this episode, I’m hoping you’re going to see how both of these stories are actually teaching the same lesson. and it might change the way that you choose your friends and the way you think about compassion, justice, and the future of our country. But first, I want to give a shout out to Carnivore Snacks.

Okay, first story, the Epstein files. Take a look. The Department of Justice releasing its remaining documents from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Deputy Attorney General Todd Bland saying the records will be posted throughout the day, including more than 2,000 videos, more than 180,000 images. Some of the material so explicit you have to verify being an adult before you can actually access it.
>> Many of Epstein’s survivors have been publicly pushing for years to have these documents come out. But it took a law passed with near unanimous support in Congress to finally bring these documents to light. Trump says that we just need to move past this. But so many questions are coming up now that the names are coming out.
More documents have been released. I think there’s over 3 million and millions more to come. more names, more headlines. Now, let me say something carefully and clearly. There is no suggestion that simply appearing in the documents makes a person guilty of a crime. And we have to be honest about that. But we also have to be honest about something else.
