HOT TOPICS | BREAKING: Donald Trump Named in New Epstein Files! - December 23rd, 2025

This morning we’re diving into the fallout from the long-awaited release of the Epstein files, and for many, it feels like a gut punch. On Friday, the DOJ released the files after a months-long bipartisan push and congressional demand for full transparency. But what came out was heavily redacted, with more missing than revealed. For survivors and advocates who hoped this moment would finally bring justice and accountability, the release felt like a slap in the face. To make matters worse, the DOJ then removed certain images that had already been made public, only to quietly re-release them later. The confusion, the reversals, and the omissions have only fueled suspicion. So what’s being hidden? Why all the redactions? And why does it seem like there’s such an aggressive effort to shield Donald Trump? This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Tonight is the moment we’ve been waiting for. The deadline to release the Epstein files is here. Documents are beginning to come out, but it’s already clear many of them are heavily redacted, raising fresh questions about transparency and accountability. Will the full files ever actually be released? Who is still being protected? And will there ever be real accountability for those named and justice for the victims who have waited far too long? We’re going live to follow the developments in real time, break down what’s being released (and what isn’t), and talk honestly about whether this process is delivering truth or just another cover story.

We live in an upside down world. New reports say that the Trump administration is "encouraging white men to sue if they believe they've been victims of DEI-related discrimination." Huh?! The chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has even posted on social media to spread this message, and the Vice President has reposted this and doubled down on the assertions. In a year when Black people (Black women in particular) have experienced more job loss than any other demographic, this is the message coming from the white house? Join Don to break this craziness down. This episode is sponsored by Fatty15.

This is it. Today is the deadline for the full release of the Epstein files. After years of delays, deflections, and half-measures, the question is simple...will they actually be released? If they are, what else will we learn? Who else appears in the documents? And most importantly, will anyone named ever face real accountability? We’re joined this morning by Congressman Ro Khanna to break down what this deadline means, what happens next if the files are withheld, and why transparency in this case matters so deeply to the public. Join us live as we track the developments, separate fact from spin, and talk honestly about whether justice is finally within reach, or once again being pushed out of sight.

Don takes on a persistent and deeply dishonest narrative: that the left is “normalizing antisemitism.” The reality is that it’s coming from the Republican Party. From government agencies soft-pedaling swastikas and nooses as merely “divisive,” to GOP nominees and youth organizations openly embracing Nazi rhetoric, this moment demands clarity about where the real danger lies. A sharp, unflinching breakdown of hypocrisy, power, and why misdirected panic only helps extremism thrive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the silence from those in power is only fueling more suspicion.

Don sits down with writer and political analyst Ahmed Baba to take stock of the state of the nation, and it isn’t pretty. From Donald Trump’s disgusting comments following the tragic death of Rob Reiner, to his public tantrum insisting the economy is “perfect” while Americans struggle to afford basics, the disconnect between rhetoric and reality has never been more glaring. They break down Trump’s increasingly erratic behavior, the widening gap between what he says and what people are living, and why his approval ratings continue to slide as patience wears thin across the country.
