of talking and scrambling and maybe trying some stuff to get back in the good graces of the government because the government has them in a vice grip that says if you continue to be antisemitic and not open to different points of view such as conservative ones we will not give you the funding that you require from the federal government. So Harvard had been trying to hang tight and not do what they're told but there might be a little movement there.

I missed part of this story so it's a few days old. But Roger Stone I guess said in a post a few days ago, why would Bannon, Steve Bannon, meet with Jeffrey Epstein both at his New York home and in Paris after Epstein was convicted on sex crimes in Florida? Why would he coach Epstein for his 60 Minutes appearance? And allegedly Bannon took 15 hours of film of Epstein for a documentary that never got produced. So here's what Elon Musk said when he saw Roger Stone's accusation. Now I don't know independently if any of this is true but you know Roger Stone is saying it and Elon Musk commented, "Bannon is in the Epstein files." Okay. Now is he just joking? Is Elon Musk just screwing with us because he knows we won't believe that? Or does he know something we don't know? Or is he just guessing? I don't know. But that would explain why Bannon is going all in on trying to destroy Musk, destroy all of his businesses, nationalize SpaceX, and then deport him. Deport Musk.

And I heard that the other day and I thought, wait is he serious? I mean I could understand why you don't want Elon Musk to be involved in politics. I can understand that. But do you really need to nationalize SpaceX which would ruin it and do you really need to deport him? What? So I wondered where was any of this coming from? So I don't know who started the fight but it looks like it's a cage match to the death because when Elon Musk says that Bannon is in the Epstein files, again this is a claim which I'm not aware of any evidence to support it. It's just a social media claim. It feels like he's going for a kill shot. And when Bannon talks about essentially destroying Elon Musk's US connection and deporting him that feels like he's trying to take a kill shot. Is that really what we want? I don't want either one of them to kill either one of them but I don't know what's real and I don't know how to value any of these claims. It's just out there.

Now let's follow up with the summer rumors about Bongino, Patel, and Bondi. So as you know we were supposed to get a big reveal about the Epstein files and Pam Bondi had suggested that maybe there was something more there. And now we hear, and again this is all rumors, I would say that the credibility of this story is about as low as you could get. We don't really know what people are thinking, feeling, said to each other privately. We don't really know. But the rumor is that Dan Bongino stopped coming to work for a few days so that he could think about whether he would resign presumably over the fact that Pam Bondi either botched the Epstein reveal or just can't work with her for some reason. And then further the rumor said, and I don't think the second part is real for sure, is that Kash Patel had said that if Bongino quits because Bondi is still there, I guess he would want her to quit first or something, that he would quit.

Now how much of that do you believe? I do believe that they probably are a little angry at each other. I don't know who would be angry at who or for what, but beyond that how much do we really know about what they think and why they're doing what they're doing? If you tell me that Bongino took some days off from work I'm going to say you mean around the 4th of July in the middle of July when he's been working like a dog for months and months and he took a few days off around a weekend and I'm supposed to make something out of that? Almost everybody in the government has taken a week off in the summer. Does that really mean anything?

Well here are some of the other facts around this story. Number one, do you remember when Pam Bondi gave some influencers some special access to the first wave of Epstein files and she invited them to the White House and had them all hold up their own file that they had been given secret advanced knowledge of the Epstein information? And then when they looked at it they found out it was all public information. There was nothing new in it whatsoever which was some say almost like inte
