Co-hosts Nick Hauselman and Jared Yates Sexton unpack a wild week: The Epstein survivors speak and the right tries to launder Trump’s proximity. RFK Jr. does the “don’t trust experts” routine, while Florida moves to end school vaccine mandates. The U.S. blows up a Venezuelan boat with 11 people on board, insisting they were drug smugglers with no evidence.

They talk about how manufactured uncertainty keeps power unaccountable, why shredding public health is the point, and what it means when even Rand Paul sounds like due process. Plus: Oasis in Chicago, beer showers, and why Jaws in IMAX still rips.
