Rich and Adam discuss the political theater surrounding the Epstein Files release, from Mike Johnson's increasingly desperate attempts to block the vote to Trump's panic mode flip-flops, and apparently never understanding his own Q-Anon-fueled base actually expected him to burn the system down.

Once they turn their attention to the files themselves, they come to one conclusion. The Epstein Files aren't about sex crimes: they're about power, money, and a system built to protect the wealthy and well connected while pretending to seek justice. Yes, Epstein was a pedophile and sex trafficker. But more than that he was a world-class grifter who weaponized kompromat to insert himself among elites and live the high life.

The real political theater is still to come. The system will pretend to hold itself accountable while ensuring the worst people remain protected. That's why this entire circus will likely end with a whimper instead of justice; a few expendable players will be sacrificed while protecting the structures that enabled it all. It's theater designed to look like justice while ensuring nothing fundamental changes.
