    After a week of a lot of news comign from the Department of Justice surrounding how it's handled the Epstein Files, this week's interview is a look back at a conversation Grant had with Stacey Young.

    Young, a former DOJ attorney, is the founder and Executive Director of Justice Connection, which helps DOJ employees who recently left the department or are about to leave.

    They talk about how the department back in May, was being dismantled and reassembled to serve Donald Trump. With the new Epstein information, the conversation can be looked at through a new lens.

  • Trump and The Epstein Files: Is It A Lie or A Cover Up?
    Jul 24 2025

    Send us a text

    Two bombshell reports from the Wall Street Journal and New York Times say Donald Trump is named multiple times in the Jeffrey Epstein files, and that he was told about it by the Attorney General back in May.

    While the White House says it's not true, the evidence of at the very least the White House knowingly lied to the American public or, at the worst, had a plan to create a cover-up for months.

    Grant talks about what's in the new reports, how republicans and voters are reacting, and whether there's evidence that points to a true cover like we haven't seen since the 1980s.

  • Do Democrats Even Want To Win Again?
    Jul 22 2025

    Send us a text

    The official Democratic Party review about what went wrong in the 2024 election is nearly done, according to a new story from the New York Times.

    In it, the party isn't looking at whether Biden should've run, should've dropped out sooner, if Harris was the right candidate to replace him and whether her campaign said and did the wrong things. In fact, the review is supposed to avoid the presidential race almost altogether.

    Which begs the question, why do it then?

    Grant talks about what's in the review, what's not, and why it matters more than ever that Democrats seem to be stuck in the 2010s without a new vision forward.
