Wednesday, July 23, 2025 - Trump and the Epstein Files; Free speech and free press; Authoritarianism

Guest: Heather Digby Parton, Salon; 'Driftglass', The Pro Left Podcast
PLEASE DONATE to KPFK! With an avalanche of incoming news and madness underway, OG bloggers HEATHER DIGBY PARTON of Salon and 'DRIFTGLASS' of the 'Pro-Left Podcast' join us to delve into it all. We focus on Donald Trump's many hilariously ham-fisted attempts to cover up his relationship with the late pedophile Jeffery Epstein, and to distract his MAGA followers; House Speaker Johnson's gambit to block release of the Epstein Files; Paramount/CBS' cancellation of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a frequent critic of Trump; whether America has yet descended into dictatorship, and much, much more.
