Media, Politics, and the Epstein Files

This week on Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne The God and Andrew Schulz dive into today’s wild political and cultural landscape. We’re unpacking everything from what it really means to be an adult in this chaotic world to the drama surrounding Trump, the Democratic Party, and the much-talked-about Epstein files. Expect real talk about why holding politicians accountable actually matters, how media shapes what we believe, and why foreign policy hits closer to home than most of us realize.

We’ll get into the rise of younger Democrats, the messiness of identity politics, and what’s next for a fractured Democratic Party. Social media’s role in all this? Yeah, we go there too. Plus, we take a fun detour into pop culture—think DC Universe, Superman, and how media reflects who we are.

If you’re curious, frustrated, or just want to understand the consequences of the choices our leaders make, this episode’s for you. It’s all about staying informed, questioning the narrative, and figuring out how we can actually make change happen.
