Episode Details

Prince Andrew just became the first British royal arrested in 400 years — and it has nothing to do with what the media is telling you. This week, Meseidy and Rachel break down the actual Epstein file charge, AOC’s disastrous Munich Security Conference debut (Spain, Taiwan, and Venezuela — she got zero for three), Marco Rubio’s standing-ovation keynote that’s making people say the quiet part loud about 2028, and the $2.5M con James Telerico just pulled off using a fake FCC censorship story. Plus: Republican midterm strategy is shifting hard to the economy, Democrats are planning to protest the State of the Union, Justice Alito might be heading for the exit, and American-born skier Eileen Gu is skiing for China’s millions while staying conveniently silent on the Uyghur genocide.

Episode Highlights

• Prince Andrew arrested — but not for what every outlet is claiming. Meseidy explains the actual charge: sharing UK state secrets with Epstein while serving as trade envoy
• AOC’s Munich meltdown — a 20-second Taiwan pause, a cowboy history lesson she didn’t know she needed, and a geography error on Venezuela’s location
• Rubio vs. AOC — the same conference, two entirely different levels of preparation. Rachel makes the case Rubio is quietly positioning for 2028
• The Telerico con — how a Texas Senate candidate raised $2.5 million in 24 hours off a fabricated FCC censorship story, and why it worked
• Eileen Gu exposed — the American-born, San Francisco-based, Stanford-educated skier competing for China’s millions who couldn’t find time to research the Uyghur genocide but had plenty to say about anti-Asian racism in the U.S.🎧 Listen now on your favorite podcast app, or watch the full video on Substack.
