On the *Occupied Democrat Show*, hosts Mark Bland and Jason Kull dive into the relentless controversies surrounding former President Donald Trump, particularly his connection to the Jeffrey Epstein files. They highlight a Wall Street Journal report revealing Trump was aware of his inclusion in the Epstein documents as early as May, yet he denied it, deflecting with false claims about Obama and Biden. The hosts express outrage over Trump’s lies and the refusal to release the full Epstein list, which they argue protects powerful figures. They point to Epstein’s 2010 deposition, where he pleaded the Fifth when asked about socializing with Trump and minors, underscoring the gravity of the allegations. Bland and Cole criticize Republicans for supporting Trump despite these ties, mockingly dubbing them the “People’s Pedophile Party” and condemning their inaction as enabling a predator.

The hosts also tackle other political absurdities, like Congressional Republicans’ push to rename the Kennedy Center Opera House after Melania Trump, which they dismiss as a distraction from more pressing issues like Trump’s alleged crimes. They discuss a Tennessee school district’s decision to stop accepting doctor’s notes for absences, predicting it will spark backlash and fail due to its anti-science stance. Additionally, they debunk claims by Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, who falsely accused Obama of orchestrating a coup via fabricated Russian interference in 2016. They cite extensive evidence, including the Mueller Report, disproving her narrative as a political stunt.

Throughout, Bland and Kull emphasize accountability, urging listeners to reject Trump’s deflections and demand transparency. They warn of escalating MAGA aggression, citing an incident where Congresswoman Katie Porter was chased from an event. The hosts close by encouraging engagement with their show on social media, unapologetically calling out Trump’s supporters while advocating for truth and justice.
