The Distraction Presidency — Trump, Epstein, and the War on Truth
Description
In this episode of Off the Record, we go deep into the story the media won’t stay on — and the distractions they use to keep us from looking.
Segment 1 unpacks how President Donald Trump was formally briefed in May 2025 that his name appears in the Epstein files — and how his legal team, the DOJ, and even corporate media are doing everything possible to bury it.
Segment 2 turns to Oklahoma, where State Superintendent Ryan Walters is waging war on public education: pushing illegal Bible mandates, immigration profiling in schools, censorship of racial justice, and handing education over to unaccredited private virtual programs.
Segment 3 exposes the latest distraction campaign — from Stephen Colbert’s surprise cancellation, to South Park’s brutal satire of Trump and the weaponized outrage cycle that’s drowning real accountability.
Finally, in Segment 4, we reflect on the cost of silence. If we keep letting them distract us, we will lose the truth — and the future.
This is not just an episode. It’s a wake-up call.
