Old School. Biblically Independent.

After the death of Alex Pretti last week (yes, that was somehow only last weekend), I thought Jon Stewart — along with SNL — brought a little too much humor to a gunfight. But in discussing the release of 3 million more documents from the Epstein files, Stewart finally brought the heat, so to speak.
He also underscored the depressing reality that nothing is likely to happen — that there will be zero accountability for the heinous misdeeds documented in those files. And that’s kind of insane to me. During the first Trump administration, the MeToo movement at least managed a few months of accountability for bad actors. I understand the circumstances are different now, that many elected leaders and their appointees have managed to create a protective shield around themselves. But no one named in those files from the private sector should have a job anymore, nor should they be eligible for Senate confirmation. That includes the person up for Fed chair, Kevin Warsh, who, like more than half of this administration, was named in the files.
Anyway, I’ll let Jon Stewart take it away and explain his own benign mention in the files while also highlighting the real sanctuary cities in America — the ones that protect men like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Howard Lutnick.
