Episode notes

She's a crossfaded cross-wearing conservative who had it made in the shade until she finally crossed Trump. Journalist Jake Lahut joins the show to break down his latest feature "Nancy Mace is Not Okay," which chronicles the congresswoman's booze runs, crash outs, and staff turn over.

Then, the DOJ releases millions of pedo-files and somehow we all have to still file our taxes. Comedian Gareth Reynolds joins Francesca to discuss Epstein's connections to Trump, Ehud Barak, Peter Thiel and yes, cannibalism. Are we the left's QAnon now?

UPDATE: A Virgin Group spokesperson contacted our show re: Richard Branson and says:

“Any contact Richard and Joan Branson had with Epstein took place on only a few occasions more than twelve years ago, and was limited to group or business settings, such as a charity tennis event. When Epstein offered a charity donation, the Bransons asked their team to carry out due diligence before accepting the donation, which uncovered serious allegations. As a result of what the due diligence uncovered, Virgin Unite did not take the donation and Richard and Joan decided not to meet or speak with Epstein again. Had they had the full picture and information, there would have been no contact whatsoever – Richard believes that Epstein’s actions were abhorrent and supports the right to justice for his many victims."
