Why Won't Congress Investigate the Epstein Case? | Rep. Eric Burlison
After weeks of right-wing infighting, President Donald Trump on Thursday evening ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek the release of grand jury testimony relating to the Jeffrey Epstein case in which the deceased mysterious billionaire was accused of sexually abusing scores of underaged girls.
The president’s post on Truth Social carried a begrudging tone:
Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval. This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!
Minutes later, Bondi took to X and said, “we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.” However, a judge will determine what is ultimately unsealed, and the review process might take some time. Those on the right pushing for more transparency regarding the Epstein case cheered the move as a step in the right direction, but it’s unlikely to end the Epstein saga because the grand jury testimony makes up only a fraction of what the government currently has on Epstein and some questions remain about the case that likely needs further investigation.
Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., has been pushing for radical transparency regarding the Epstein case. As a member of the House Oversight Committee, he could be one of the major players if Congress decides to conduct its own fact-finding missions into the Epstein case. He joined “The Signal Sitdown” for a special episode about the lingering questions regarding the Epstein case, what questions remain to be answered, and what the Trump administration and Congress can do to give the American people answers.

Steve Scalise: Inside the Final Push to Pass Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill'
It was an incredibly hectic and high-stakes 48 hours when the House leadership cobbled together the votes to send the One Big, Beautiful Bill to President Donald Trump’s desk.
Few, if any, are better positioned to discuss what happened in those pivotal moments than House Majority Leader Steve Scalise. He joined “The Signal Sitdown” to give a behind-the-scenes look at the final push to pass the One Big, Beautiful Bill at a media row event hosted by the Republican Study Committee on Capitol Hill Tuesday.

Will Zohran Mamdani Become the Democrat Party's Trump? | Emily Jashinsky
Americans’ trust in the corporate media has cratered. And with good reason: After decades of deception and distortion—considering its uncritical coverage of the wars in the Middle East, its peddling of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative, its inconsistent reporting on COVID-19, its selective ignorance during the 2020 election, and its efforts to conceal President Biden’s cognitive decline—the corporate press has earned every ounce of the public’s suspicion.
Now, Americans are tuning out the noise and tuning in to new voices to stay informed. UnHerd Washington Correspondent Emily Jashinsky has emerged as one of those voices. She joined “The Signal Sitdown” this week to discuss her new show with Megyn Kelly’s MK Media, “After Party with Emily Jashinsky,” the fallout from President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” and whether or not Zohran Mamdani represents the future of the national Democrat Party.
“I'm very weirdly optimistic,” Jashinsky said of the alternative media’s rise. “I feel so strange about this because one of the reasons I got into media is because I've always been obsessed with media and I've always been so pessimistic. But the last, I don't know, year or two, I've started to feel optimistic about media, not because there aren't still very powerful bad actors, not because some of the new actors aren't also bad, but because the demand for transparency from the audience, I think, is pushing us in at least a better direction.”

Nationalism Is the Answer to Globalism | Yoram Hazony
Two 2016 elections — President Donald Trump in the U.S. and Brexit in the United Kingdom — sent our global elites reeling. The only people not surprised that borders and sovereignty prevailed on both sides of the Atlantic, it seemed, were those still bold enough to call theselves nationalists.
Yoram Hazony was so bold as to be an unapologetic nationalist. So much so that he authored a book titled “The Virtue of Nationalism” in 2018. For the Right, the book articulated the gut-sense that nationalism, though portrayed as the boogeyman of modern Western history, was worth preserving. For the Left, it entered the canon of books to "understand Trump and the MAGA movement," which includes now Vice President JD Vance’s “Hillbilly Elegy.”
Seven years on, much has changed. President Donald Trump’s America First movement has completely altered the terms of America’s debates on immigration, trade, and foreign policy. His impact has sent shockwaves across the globe, from Argentina, to Hungary, to the Middle East and beyond. Now that nationalists are no longer considered fringe actors, Hazony is publishing a second edition to “The Virtue of Nationalism.”
He joined “The Signal Sitdown” to discuss the book and what to make of a more mature MAGA movement in the United States.

The Art of the Iran Deal? Trump Pushes for Peace After US Strikes on Iran | Will Thibeau
It’s always shocking to see some middle-aged, terribly overweight, poorly shaven magazine editor furiously posting on X, baying for blood in a country thousands of miles away. Shocking, yet expected, especially over the past two weeks, as Israel and Iran have exchanged fire and President Donald Trump has weighed America’s role in the conflict.
Over the weekend, the president decided to launch an attack on Iranian nuclear sites, which included deploying B-2s loaded with bunker busters, in an operation called Midnight Hammer. Shortly after the operation, Trump began calling for a ceasefire to allow the president and his team to negotiate a new nuclear deal with Iran.
The sabre-scribblers could not be satisfied with anything short of a regime change war. Of course, they have no intention of going to the battlefield themselves—let alone sending their sons. More often than not, they are Never Trumpers who don’t even trust the commander in chief to lead the wars they call for.
These keyboard warriors have no idea what war is really like, but Will Thibeau does. A veteran of the Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment and the director of the American Military Project at the Claremont Institute’s Center for the American Way of Life, Thibeau joined “The Signal Sitdown” to discuss why Trump is rightfully resisting calls for regime change to focus on his domestic agenda and building a military worthy of the golden age.
“Frankly, when you're in the army, it's all you hope for,” Thibeau said. “I mean, guys literally prayed to be able to deploy and seek combat.” He likened being a Ranger platoon leader to “holding dogs on leash,” but age and combat changes things: “With some years and with children now, for me, [war] is the last thing you want to happen. It is a measure of last resort for the nation.”

Your government is out of control. It’s doing things it has no business doing.
It spends way too much money. It gets involved in way too many wars. It not only tells you what you can and can’t say—it actively censors you.
And the things your government should do, it can’t, or won’t, do at all.
It can’t keep your streets clean of crime and filth. It can’t keep your neighborhoods safe enough for kids to play outside. It can’t even prevent your country from being invaded by millions of illegal migrants.
Why is that?
Because your leaders no longer represent you. They represent themselves and their friends.
On each episode of "The Signal Sitdown," politics editor Bradley Devlin exposes how the sausage really gets made in Washington, D.C. with the help of guests who have experience on the inside.
"The Signal Sitdown" takes you inside the biggest battles in Washington, D.C., as they happen. We’ll analyze the policymaking process from an unabashedly and unapologetically conservative perspective and together reclaim government from the self-serving elites.
Fingers will be pointed.
Names will be named.
