Full disclosure - I'm an Independent Conservative as I find both parties vile. I find I agree with Tucker about 95% of the time. He is forthcoming, honest, factual and keeps emotion out of things for the most part (I'm married to an attorney and his biggest complaint about me is I tend to lead with emotion and have to fight my knee-jerk reactions). Tucker was the first anchor to cover Balenciaga and trans men in locker rooms. He talked about the "china virus" long before it was mainstream. I don't know why people hate him. I would love for him to sit and have a conversation with G. He asks hard questions during his conversations but doesn't necessarily "grill." (Michael Avaneti is the exception to this). I respect you greatly and am glad we are different politically. Since I do repect you so much, I am more apt to try to see things from your point of view. We are not as different as one may think. :)
Tulips: Yes, we ARE different. I read Jessica as a diversion from all the real VERY real situations happening around us; I'm still waiting for that respect part. Unfortunately, libs stay in their little bubble, afraid to even admit they may "like" someone who is a bona fide investigative journalist, as proven above, and I'm sick of it. Case in point: Jessica had to issue a disclaimer about Tucker before she included his video for what she thinks are the majority of her readers who might now be passed out from seeing Tucker in this item.
I find this aspect interesting.🤔 I definitely find your perspective refreshing. I do not really care about party lines, but technically I’m conservative.
Yes, that is true, and unfortunate. It works both ways though. We live in a polluted political culture, and we have to clear the smog all day every day to see things accurately. I watched Glenn Greenwald recently on System Update doing exactly the same disclaimer thing twice for the pro-Israel conservatives in his audience before he got into reporting facts on the Israeli apartheid argument. We definitely need more healthy debate. I want to keep the dialogue going. Exposing and overcoming the polarizing propaganda will only come from people with different views having constructive disagreements through mediums like Substack.
As stated here elsewhere and after long thought, concluded that it was the apologizing which irks me. I don't care where the source of the truth comes.
I never watch television, so my acquaintance with Tucker is only at third hand. But people, have you scanned some of the remarks that passed between Tucker and his colleagues at Newsmax or whatever they call his employer (I know what it's called, and I wonder if Rupert Murdoch ever regrets the choice he made to go low instead of going high? Now that he hears the trumpet of heaven calling. This pitiful behavior - pretending to believe something that you knew was nonsense, for ratings and money and influence? Not just nonsense, but nonsense poisonous to the American body politic. How can any one of them look at their (SEE!) face in the morning? All the way to the big Rupert himself? They knew Trump's claims were all a bunch of shit, but they also knew that their base demanded all the falsehoods possible to fit into their world view. So in sum, Carlson et Al. were willing to damage the entire structure of trust which must prevail in a democratic republic, for the transient and worthless rewards of money and fame.
Unfortunately, this will never happen. There is no reason for G to put herself at risk of sharing sensitive information. The truth will likely remain partially obscured by the elite in media, business, and the government who have nothing to gain by investigating any further.
Left. Right. This is what’s wrong with America. I’m old enough to remember when politics could be discussed openly, honestly & without hating the other person. Who cares if you upset people. The great journalists never led with apologies for what they said/wrote. We are divided because the media divides us. Just be free to speak your mind without fear.
I accidentally deleted my comment. Duh. Anyway, the evildoers want us fighting amongst ourselves. Then we’ll never gang up on them. There are so many republicans & democrats who were involved with Epstein! Many I suspect were blackmailed. Justice Department also. & Wall Street. They are supposed to be public servants. They haven’t worked for us in a long time. I’ve been registered every party through my life. I’m disgusted & disappointed with them all in Washington. If the client list had been made public, the landscape would be vastly different. & hasn’t anyone noticed mainstream media is controlled by their advertisers, mostly big pharma? I& it’s the largest lobbying group in Washington now, so it forces me to seek out alternative media sources.
The fact that everyone is talking about Left vs right rather than what was just presented (Like TC or not) is the issue, I think. He just presented actual facts but people are debating politics instead. I'm not sure anyone would actually be able to disprove anything that was presented..Thanks for sharing!
This is exactly what I was thinking. I was hoping to see people’s opinions of what was talked about, not about Tucker, himself. Or how left and right work in the US. But the questions he asked are questions the rest of the world need to ask, not just Americans.
Me too. I want to talk about what he uncovered. Not him. But immediately that’s where the focus goes. Which only proves my point in the disclaimer. People are more interested in defending their side than uncovering / discussing the truth .
The most compelling thing he said for me was “We’ve pressed pretty hard, not because we have any special affection for Jeffrey Epstein, but we’ve pressed because... you don’t want to live in a country where it’s possible to murder people under federal lockup, cover up the killings, and then get away with it. That’s scary.” DUDE. 😳
I feel like that’s the whole media agenda. Keep people so distracted & divided they won’t care about the truth or even be able to engage in critically thinking. They are so obsessed with winning, being right & the other being wrong, that people can literally murder someone and get away with it. Suits the powers that be really well! Imagine how much else they’ve got away with!
Say what you will about Tucker, but he’s not afraid to poke ya in the eye. I used to never watch him and found him to loud, always yelling and red faced and irritating. Now he’s got the #1 show because he will say and go where others will not.
And….he pulls in the viewers, aka ratings, so Fox loves him. Tucker pokes the bear, so to say, goes where other journalist fear. I give him props for that alone.
Thanks for sharing! I am someone who probably wouldn’t have watched this otherwise (I don’t watch any major news channels), but everything he said makes a lot of sense. I definitely never thought he committed suicide, but I think the context Tucker gives around this case and how it’s being handled gave me a new perspective. I had mostly moved on to the idea that this will never be (publicly) solved, but didn’t think about the layers of how this case represents another example of how the government works differently for different people. I also think if you printed out a transcript of this clip and gave it to people without telling them who was speaking, they would almost all agree with what he says.
Oh, for sure the video is easier! Just an observation/thought about it. I also think because he is Tucker Carlson, it also puts weight behind the remarks in a different way than if some random person made the same observations. As always, I enjoy your perspective and how you share information!
Soooo much so. Bill G needs to stay in his own lane, computers & tech, mind his own business. Instead he’s diversified his interest & polarized himself. No wonder Microsoft just had to lay off hundreds of thousands of employees.
I am hoping Jess does a deep dive on fauci and all the corruption around him one of these days. I know it’s not a fun as the Hollywood stuff but it’s so relevant to all the crap in the media these days
During this story I started wondering about JEs family and what their take on all of this, also why aren’t they pushing for more answers? Had they just accepted the story they were being told. I can’t say how I would feel if it was my brother involved and perhaps I believed him to be guilty, maybe I wouldn’t care how he died, but he still was my brother... family dynamics always are so interesting but it would really be great to hear from him.
Also, so far we are being told of the involvement of a few famous people but that there are others. Why are non famous people not being named as involved in the ring? Famous or not, they need to be held accountable.
Completely unsure if true & could obv be a rumor, but approx 1 month after his death , a group I belong who are very linked in, absolutely swore he was rushed out of the jail into a huge waiting black SUV in the mid of night. There were Sev black SUV’s lined up as decoy. Apparently he is living out his days in varying locales overseas. First, supposedly he was sent to Saudi Arabia. Additionally ; supposedly that is how the Feds eventually found G.Maxwell living in the middle of nowhere in NH. Of course I have NO idea if true. He could be on an island, or 6’ under? 🤷♀️
And GM, the pap pic of her reading a book at In n Out in LA is completely photoshopped. That was done as a ruse.
Well, as a registered dem I often find myself wincing at clips of Tucker. However, I have the utmost respect for you Jessica so when you present me with information I will give it an open mind. Admittedly, it was difficult for me to click on the link at first. I even felt cringey with the Fox News logo on the bottom.
However: the information presented wasn't partisan or even remotely "a grab". It was concise and well explained. Definitely raised a lot of questions I never thought about. I didn't know they moved him, or changed him, or that they pumped air into him. I watch enough shitty jail / cop shows to know they handheld film everything. So, where are those cameras? Also, no one even talked to the other prisoners????
You'd think rather than burying it all and making it seem even more steeped in mystery and chaos that the feds would WANT what really happened to be aired out.
Anyway. Thank you, Jess, as always for your diligent work. It is much appreciated from this "lib" that everyone in the comments seem to hate so much lol
Thank you for sharing this honestly. This is exactly what I was trying to point out. And how I make an effort for everyone following here to consider what is presented (without political bias)
It's nice to have a place where our political beliefs aren't judged and information is presented freely so we as adults can come to logical conclusions without bias. I appreciate you so much. ❤️
I applaud your honesty! You should check out TC’s monologue on the CIA and JFK. I think it was from a couple of weeks ago. He really does cover some interesting topics that others won’t.
I'm a lifelong liberal who in recent years has swayed more middle and prefer to consider myself independent now. It's actually triggered a lot of personal growth and I am more open to hearing all sides before forming my opinion. Not the knee jerk reactions to anything that opposed my beliefs, as I did before. It was honestly hard to watch Tucker at first (I think I was afraid to agree with anything he said!) but he is the only one giving honest reporting on many topics and now I enjoy hearing his reporting. I really don't think that the 2 sides are all that different.. they just want us to think we are and strategically report with that angle.
I think anyone here who is triggered by Jessica's disclaimer before sharing TC maybe hasn't put themselves in uncomfortable situations by openly listening to the other perspectives. It's easy to defend your left/right beliefs but takes openness and curiosity to be willing to deconstruct that engrained response and consider other possibilities. I see anyone who's hating or doesn't understand why such a disclaimer would need to be said as still being entrenched in their "side". I applaud you for being open to watching and sharing your perspective 👏🏼
Yet, you "hate posting Tucker" because you'll offend your left-leaning readers. Had you wanted to give your attention to "all who wish to dig deeper," there was no need to mention your distain for Tucker. For that matter, if Tucker is so bad, why even include him in your item? WHY? Because he's good and deals in facts. AND, he's the ONLY person willing to put his neck about Epstein. As much as you're denying... you're catering to libs.
No, I’m Not. I’m simply explaining that bipartisan is a shame. I don’t hate tucker. I hate that people don’t like to hear different takes from posing party sides.
The fact that you’re even wanting to argue here helps prove the point.
I feel like you’re inching towards the other side of truth and you’ve been concerned about offending your left leaning followers and perhaps friends you have. I’ve seen you do this before like 🫣 “sorry guys...”. You’re a remarkable writer and reporter please don’t apologize and tiptoe around those you think might be offended.
I think You need to get past the disclaimer and just enjoy that the video was shared because of how brilliantly it exposes some big corrupt lies surrounding this death.
The majority of my audience is actually conservative. But I respect the liberals following here equally.
This seems unfair. She’s not stating her political pov. She’s pointing out, rightly, that the left leaning main stream media remains uninterested in his wildly suspect death, his black book of elite pervs and other nefarious dealings. It’s one of the stories of the decade.
“All together now” seems like an appropriate theme for the majority of “news media” these days. If your unwilling to expand your news inputs in an effort to seeks truth over comfort, it’s on you. But not Jessica. She’s baking truth cookies and serving them hot. I suggest you take a bite and enjoy.
I like the fact that we can all have a difference of opinion on various topics but telling someone they shouldn’t write or say something out loud is more of that cancel culture (aka censorship) toxicity that’s infected western society worse than ever in the last 10 years. We have gone so far backwards, the 90’s was more progressive than this. It’s both terrifying and sad. Who cares if someone doesn’t like TC… don’t take it so personally, it’s not like you’re married to the guy..or are you?
I completely agree that the 90’s were more progressive than now. For the past several years I kept trying to believe that we as a country weren’t going backwards, but indeed we are. We are so censored it is hard to fathom. I still maintain my 90’s sense of open mindedness and long for our society to once again embrace differences in thought and culture.
🔝 “There’s no need to mention your disdain for Tucker”…
To add, free speech is a beautiful thing. I take no issue with you voicing your love of TC and defending him and/or his politics. I don’t agree with everything people say here either, but I do enjoy hearing what others have to say or what that feel about any number of topics. This is a wonderful space where people can talk freely…. enjoy it. We’re not here to offend anybody.
"...there's no need..." is a continuation of a sentence. Reading the entire sentence, not taking words out of context, it does not tell Jessica what to write!!
I actually think that if Jessica has posted a link to Rachel Maddow of MSNBC she would’ve apologized to her conservative readership. It’s just that everything had become so politicized intentionally to keep us fighting each other.
Rachel’s whole stick is attacking conservatives. When she gets into real meaty topics and presents a 360 perspective - then she’ll get my limited screen time. I watched CNN 24/7 for decades (and PBS) but it got soooooo lopsided and angry under Zuckerberg that I had to go elsewhere. Common sense dictated that I step away. Hoping they swerve back center and stick to news, not opinion.
I actually disagree. It does not matter who presents the TRUTH. Jessica is writing on Substack, a forum for free speech where no apologies are necessary. I guess that is what bothered me the most re this item, the apology for including Tucker.
Im not saying she should have I’m just saying it isn’t that she’s slighting one political ideology over another. She’s aware of how divided and politicized things have become and is trying not to ‘pick a side’ but go where the truth leads.
Turns out, just as you said, Jessica can write as she pleases on Substack. Your complaint about how she approached posting TC would fall under the umbrella you’ve decided for her.
Im on your side. I’m a cynical conservative who feels that everyone is bought and paid for. I actually read only the Coffee and COVID substack as my source of news.
Tucker Carlson aside, I think it’s naive to believe any side of politics isn’t corrupted by power. That client list of his spans both sides. People that high up don’t even care about politics - they donate to both sides to hedge their bets.
It’s a shame that politics has thrown a veil over anyone that dares ask questions. I am left leaning - I don’t love Fox News. I did watch this segment and Tucker mostly did a good job in being factual and impartial. Things like this are hard to watch because you have to question everything you’ve ever believed in.
But it’s also absurd to think that both side of politics don’t have something to offer. This could just be about the Epstein ‘conspiracy’ but for me, perhaps more interestingly, this whole post of yours Jessica is about the fabric of society, where we at with our critical thinking and why we need to hang on to our beliefs so dearly.
Just our government doing what it does best. Covering up. I don’t believe we will ever know the answers. I’m still waiting for the truth about the assassination of JFK.
Recently read an item (it may have been from JStone) re JFK's death. The item stated that Nixon was booted after calling Helms to the OvalOffice to discuss JFK's death. Nixon said, "I know who killed John." Helms kept quiet and quickly left. Within weeks, Woodward was transferred from his high post in intelligence and placed at WashPost where he "exposed" Watergate, prompting Nixon's resignation. DS gave a more amenable Ford the job. OH... Nixon knew it was LBJ and CIA who did it.
I want to present an even crazier theory to you, Jessica. Mossad faked Epstein's death and he is very much alive, sipping margaritas on a beach in Tel Aviv. When people say "Epstein didn't kill himself" they are even closer to the truth than they realize.
Full disclosure - I'm an Independent Conservative as I find both parties vile. I find I agree with Tucker about 95% of the time. He is forthcoming, honest, factual and keeps emotion out of things for the most part (I'm married to an attorney and his biggest complaint about me is I tend to lead with emotion and have to fight my knee-jerk reactions). Tucker was the first anchor to cover Balenciaga and trans men in locker rooms. He talked about the "china virus" long before it was mainstream. I don't know why people hate him. I would love for him to sit and have a conversation with G. He asks hard questions during his conversations but doesn't necessarily "grill." (Michael Avaneti is the exception to this). I respect you greatly and am glad we are different politically. Since I do repect you so much, I am more apt to try to see things from your point of view. We are not as different as one may think. :)
I wish he would interview G.
Yes!!!
Tulips: Yes, we ARE different. I read Jessica as a diversion from all the real VERY real situations happening around us; I'm still waiting for that respect part. Unfortunately, libs stay in their little bubble, afraid to even admit they may "like" someone who is a bona fide investigative journalist, as proven above, and I'm sick of it. Case in point: Jessica had to issue a disclaimer about Tucker before she included his video for what she thinks are the majority of her readers who might now be passed out from seeing Tucker in this item.
My majority is not liberal 😆
I find this aspect interesting.🤔 I definitely find your perspective refreshing. I do not really care about party lines, but technically I’m conservative.
Yes, that is true, and unfortunate. It works both ways though. We live in a polluted political culture, and we have to clear the smog all day every day to see things accurately. I watched Glenn Greenwald recently on System Update doing exactly the same disclaimer thing twice for the pro-Israel conservatives in his audience before he got into reporting facts on the Israeli apartheid argument. We definitely need more healthy debate. I want to keep the dialogue going. Exposing and overcoming the polarizing propaganda will only come from people with different views having constructive disagreements through mediums like Substack.

I never watch television, so my acquaintance with Tucker is only at third hand. But people, have you scanned some of the remarks that passed between Tucker and his colleagues at Newsmax or whatever they call his employer (I know what it's called, and I wonder if Rupert Murdoch ever regrets the choice he made to go low instead of going high?

This is what I’ve come to learn..it’s all so much worse.
AlexJones was/is right. After knowing what happens to the Clinton's "friends," he should be lucky he's still alive.
We are living through Revelations and are continually being manipulated through the legally lying MSM.
Oh really? I think the elites are addicted to and Reno chrome. The trafficking going on with Americans open borders..
The fact that everyone is talking about Left vs right rather than what was just presented (Like TC or not) is the issue, I think. He just presented actual facts but people are debating politics instead. I'm not sure anyone would actually be able to disprove anything that was presented..Thanks for sharing!
THANK YOU.
Peops get so triggered by the politics they can’t see straight
Yep. I hate it.
Everyone does.
They're emm kaye uhltrud, that's why.

Do you think G is in danger ???
This Exactly.

100%
Say what you will about Tucker, but he’s not afraid to poke ya in the eye. I used to never watch him and found him to loud, always yelling and red faced and irritating. Now he’s got the #1 show because he will say and go where others will not.
For mainstream media, he’s great
Yes!!!
And….he pulls in the viewers, aka ratings, so Fox loves him. Tucker pokes the bear, so to say, goes where other journalist fear. I give him props for that alone.
Sad the mainstream media took hush money at the beginning of lockdown. Look into the “ trusted news initiative “, pure censorship!
Thanks for sharing! I am someone who probably wouldn’t have watched this otherwise (I don’t watch any major news channels), but everything he said makes a lot of sense.

Bill Gate's extremely awkward, "well, he's dead,,,so,,, aww..." (9:29)
Mmmm.
His wife divorced him shortly after that because public. I have a serious problem with bill gates.
Me too.
Can I like this about 1000 times?!
💌
Soooo much so. Bill G needs to stay in his own lane, computers & tech, mind his own business. Instead he’s diversified his interest & polarized himself. No wonder Microsoft just had to lay off hundreds of thousands of employees.
Me too x 1000000
A lot, of course. They sold out years ago!
How ironic. One of the Board member's of the GatesFdn is Fauci... DeathFather of our time. Cozy.
I am hoping Jess does a deep dive on fauci and all the corruption around him one of these days. I know it’s not a fun as the Hollywood stuff but it’s so relevant to all the crap in the media these days
The book the truth about fauci by Robert Kennedy, on audio books too.
There’s a lot out there on him.
& Fauchi’s wife… big circle of corruption, she should never be holding the job she has. Huge conflict of interests!
Someone needs to interview Epstein's brother and get his perspective if he is willing to give one.
Yes!!
Jess, you’re just the gal to do it!
During this story I started wondering about JEs family and what their take on all of this, also why aren’t they pushing for more answers? Had they just accepted the story they were being told. I can’t say how I would feel if it was my brother involved and perhaps I believed him to be guilty, maybe I wouldn’t care how he died, but he still was my brother... family dynamics always are so interesting but it would really be great to hear from him.

Tucker does amazinggg work!
Am I really the only person who believes JE isn’t actually dead? Is that too far out? Too much of a conspiracy theory?
Definitely not alone.
Nope. Not the only one.
Completely unsure if true & could obv be a rumor, but approx 1 month after his death , a group I belong who are very linked in, absolutely swore he was rushed out of the jail into a huge waiting black SUV in the mid of night.

Not all of your paid followers hate Tucker nor are left leaning. Had I known your political persuaion, I may have changed my mind on subscribing.
I have a mix of both left and right. Which is great. I don’t watch or follow Tucker closely, but I don’t mind him. I just know he turns liberals off.
I’m saying let’s give our attention to anyone who is willing to dig deeper. Regardless of what “side” you’re on.
Yet, you "hate posting Tucker" because you'll offend your left-leaning readers. Had you wanted to give your attention to "all who wish to dig deeper," there was no need to mention your distain for Tucker. For that matter, if Tucker is so bad, why even include him in your item?

I can’t believe we’re arguing about the dumb Tucker disclaimer after I posted how ridiculous unnecessary political divide is 🤦🏻♀️

Again, your item speaks for itself. A reply to a comment is not an argument.
I get your point but your comment reads as pretty aggressive.
Well said!
This seems unfair. She’s not stating her political pov. She’s pointing out, rightly, that the left leaning main stream media remains uninterested in his wildly suspect death, his black book of elite pervs and other nefarious dealings. It’s one of the stories of the decade.
“All together now” seems like an appropriate theme for the majority of “news media” these days. If your unwilling to expand your news inputs in an effort to seeks truth over comfort, it’s on you. But not Jessica. She’s baking truth cookies and serving them hot. I suggest you take a bite and enjoy.
I suggest you read the above item which Jessica wrote... again. Before you take a bite out of that cookie.
I like the fact that we can all have a difference of opinion on various topics but telling someone they shouldn’t write or say something out loud is more of that cancel culture (aka censorship) toxicity that’s infected western society worse than ever in the last 10 years. We have gone so far backwards, the 90’s was more progressive than this. It’s both terrifying and sad. Who cares if someone doesn’t like TC… don’t take it so personally, it’s not like you’re married to the guy..or are you?
I completely agree that the 90’s were more progressive than now. For the past several years I kept trying to believe that we as a country weren’t going backwards, but indeed we are. We are so censored it is hard to fathom. I still maintain my 90’s sense of open mindedness and long for our society to once again embrace differences in thought and culture.
Kindly show where I told "someone they shouldn't write or say something out loud."
It is YOUR interpretation that I took whatever it is you think personally.
🔝 “There’s no need to mention your disdain for Tucker”…
To add, free speech is a beautiful thing. I take no issue with you voicing your love of TC and defending him and/or his politics. I don’t agree with everything people say here either, but I do enjoy hearing what others have to say or what that feel about any number of topics. This is a wonderful space where people can talk freely…. enjoy it. We’re not here to offend anybody.
"...there's no need..." is a continuation of a sentence. Reading the entire sentence, not taking words out of context, it does not tell Jessica what to write!!
Truth cookies 🤣
I actually think that if Jessica has posted a link to Rachel Maddow of MSNBC she would’ve apologized to her conservative readership. It’s just that everything had become so politicized intentionally to keep us fighting each other.
You’re absolutely right.
Well, except Rachel hasn’t said anything truthful worth posting…🤣
Rachel’s whole stick is attacking conservatives. When she gets into real meaty topics and presents a 360 perspective - then she’ll get my limited screen time. I watched CNN 24/7 for decades (and PBS) but it got soooooo lopsided and angry under Zuckerberg that I had to go elsewhere. Common sense dictated that I step away. Hoping they swerve back center and stick to news, not opinion.
I actually disagree. It does not matter who presents the TRUTH. Jessica is writing on Substack, a forum for free speech where no apologies are necessary. I guess that is what bothered me the most re this item, the apology for including Tucker.
Im not saying she should have I’m just saying it isn’t that she’s slighting one political ideology over another. She’s aware of how divided and politicized things have become and is trying not to ‘pick a side’ but go where the truth leads.
Turns out, just as you said, Jessica can write as she pleases on Substack. Your complaint about how she approached posting TC would fall under the umbrella you’ve decided for her.
Im on your side. I’m a cynical conservative who feels that everyone is bought and paid for. I actually read only the Coffee and COVID substack as my source of news.
Tucker Carlson aside, I think it’s naive to believe any side of politics isn’t corrupted by power. That client list of his spans both sides. People that high up don’t even care about politics - they donate to both sides to hedge their bets.
It’s a shame that politics has thrown a veil over anyone that dares ask questions. I am left leaning - I don’t love Fox News. I did watch this segment and Tucker mostly did a good job in being factual and impartial. Things like this are hard to watch because you have to question everything you’ve ever believed in.
But it’s also absurd to think that both side of politics don’t have something to offer. This could just be about the Epstein ‘conspiracy’ but for me, perhaps more interestingly, this whole post of yours Jessica is about the fabric of society, where we at with our critical thinking and why we need to hang on to our beliefs so dearly.
Just our government doing what it does best. Covering up. I don’t believe we will ever know the answers. I’m still waiting for the truth about the assassination of JFK.
Yep!
Recently read an item (it may have been from JStone) re JFK's death. The item stated that Nixon was booted after calling Helms to the OvalOffice to discuss JFK's death. Nixon said, "I know who killed John." Helms kept quiet and quickly left. Within weeks, Woodward was transferred from his high post in intelligence and placed at WashPost where he "exposed" Watergate, prompting Nixon's resignation. DS gave a more amenable Ford the job. OH... Nixon knew it was LBJ and CIA who did it.
I want to present an even crazier theory to you, Jessica. Mossad faked Epstein's death and he is very much alive, sipping margaritas on a beach in Tel Aviv. When people say "Epstein didn't kill himself" they are even closer to the truth than they realize.
Hey, anything is possible!
We’re not joking! Anything is possible.
Never thought of maybe he's still alive! Crazy to think about! Ya never know these days...
That was such a good video from Tucker, I’m glad you suggested it.
Can i get a story on ig of tc with Kenny g music playing?
🤣
