Summary
What do the Epstein emails reveal about our nation’s elite class? This week, writer, political analyst, and founder of the Substack publication, The Ink, Anand Giridharadas, joins Preet to unpack his latest article, “How the Elite Behave When No One Is Watching: Inside the Epstein Emails.”
Then, Preet answers your questions about President Trump’s meeting with New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, and how the Senate passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act in less than a day.
In the bonus for Insiders, Preet and Anand chat about the physical attribute that Anand thinks contributed to Mamdani’s rise.
