Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss claims that Speaker Mike Johnson may be using the government shutdown to delay a vote that would force the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. They reference Representative Thomas Massie’s statement that he has enough votes for a discharge petition and argue Johnson is keeping Congress in recess to block it.
The segment also covers newly elected Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva, who has said she will vote to release the files but has not been sworn in, leading to further speculation about political motives.
