Ben Shapiro analyzes the fallout from the Epstein files release, describing it as a debacle that revealed little new information and was poorly handled by the Trump administration. He criticizes the decision to give the documents to social media influencers instead of journalists and discusses Attorney General Pam Bondi's accusations that the FBI withheld critical files. Shapiro also covers Andrew and Tristan Tate's arrival in the U.S. and the Trump administration's denial of involvement in their release from Romania. He then discusses foreign policy, including Trump's meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and ongoing debates over Ukraine. The second half of the show focuses on the Oscars, where Shapiro and his producer, Phil, review the nominees and argue that Hollywood continues to push left-wing political messaging in its films. Vivek Ramaswamy joins to discuss his Ohio gubernatorial campaign and an upcoming documentary on U.S. veterans.
