Duration: 49:56 | Recorded on October 5, 2025S2E29 – From Gaza to Washington, Kent and Kyle explore the uneasy intersection of power, secrecy, and accountability. The episode opens with cautious optimism about a possible ceasefire in Gaza, then turns toward dysfunction closer to home — another U.S. government shutdown and the political theater surrounding it. But their conversation turns back to the still-unresolved Epstein files: how is it possible that, after all these years and multiple administrations, so little has come to light?Drawing on recent revelations, claims of CIA involvement, and Howard Lutnick’s firsthand account, the brothers question who’s really in control — and why leaders on both sides seem terrified to pull the thread. What begins as political discussion ends as something deeper: a conversation about truth, courage, and how far power will go to protect itself.Featured SpiritsCream of Kentucky Cask StrengthCruzan Aged Dark RumShow NotesGaza ceasefire negotiations ‘Enough Is Enough’: Many Palestinians Say Hamas Must Accept Cease-Fire Plan (New York Times)Funding Gaps and Shutdowns in the Federal Government (history.house.gov)Howard Lutnick on Living Next Door to Epstein, Surviving 9/11 & Late-Night Calls with Trump (YouTube)James O’Keefe undercover video with DOJ investigator Glenn Prager (O’Keefe Media Group)Tara Palmeri’s coverage of the Epstein investigation (YouTube)What do we know about the Epstein files?
