Greg is back. Today, Jim and Greg discuss the TSA finally ending its insane shoe policy, President Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi offering odd answers about Jeffrey Epstein, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly pausing defense assistance to Ukraine without informing the president.
First, Jim and Greg celebrate the end of TSA forcing air travelers to take off their shoes while going through security screening. The policy dates back to one terrorist trying to set off explosive in his shoes in 2001 and since then we've been dealing with the annoyance of having to wander through TSA checkpoints in our socks or even barefoot.
Next, they react to President Trump acting offended that a reporter would ask questions about Jeffrey Epstein just two days after the Justice Department announced there was no client list and the case was effectively closed. Attorney General Pam Bondi then glossed over the question about whether Epstein was somehow connected to U.S. or foreign intelligence agencies. Greg says it's vital that we get a complete, honest answer on that question.
Finally, they discuss reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unilaterally paused military aid to Ukraine and failed to inform President Trump. Jim credits Trump again for restoring the assistance but wonders how and why Hegseth would make such a move without consulting or at least informing the president.
