If there’s one thing everyone seems to agree on about the Jeffrey Epstein case, it’s this: it’s a mess. But beyond the headlines, hashtags, and political posturing, one thing has remained painfully clear — the victims have become an afterthought in a media and political circus.
That’s where Chris steps in.
In his latest podcast episode, Chris tackles the Epstein files head-on — with honesty, outrage, and just enough sarcasm to get you through the rage. His message? Stop using this tragedy as a political football.
Seriously. One side shouts, “Look at the other party’s ties to Epstein!” while the other fires back, “Oh yeah? What about YOUR guy?” Meanwhile, actual human beings who experienced trauma are barely mentioned, as if their pain is just background noise for campaign ads and cable news soundbites.
Chris isn’t having it.
He doesn’t care which party someone belongs to — if they’re named in these documents and tied to horrific crimes, they should be investigated. Fully. Transparently. No more protecting the rich and powerful.
He also highlights the bizarre media response — how some names get shouted from the rooftops while others seem to quietly disappear. Why? Who’s pulling those strings? And why does no one seem interested in real answers?
In between rants, Chris reminds us of what really matters:
-
Listening to and believing survivors
-
Demanding justice regardless of political affiliation
-
Calling out the media for selective coverage
-
And staying focused on truth instead of tribalism
It’s not about red vs. blue. It’s about doing the right thing, even when it makes everyone uncomfortable.
The episode is equal parts infuriating and enlightening — but also, somehow, a little funny. Chris knows how to take a tough topic and keep listeners engaged without losing the seriousness it deserves.
So if you’re tired of the noise and just want someone to talk straight about what’s going on with the Epstein files — not to score points, but to seek justice and truth — this one’s for you.
