TEQUILA TALK with Joe Walsh & Cliff Schecter | TEQUILA TALK: How America Tried—and Failed—to Escape Billionaire Epstein-Style Predators
In 1800, America moved its capital from New York City to Washington, D.C. for a reason: to separate political power from financial power. The founders feared corruption so deeply—unlike our Supreme Court who embraced it personally and assaulted democracy with it professionally, with Citizens United. The Founders feared monopoly and billionaire (or their day’s equivalent) control. They feared exactly the kind of elite networks we’re now seeing exposed in the Epstein Files.
And yet… here we are. Tonight on Tequila Talk, we break down how the original attempt to escape Wall Street influence turned into something far worse: a capital city now deeply intertwined with billionaire power, private equity predators, tech oligarchs, and the same elite protection networks that allowed Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump, and Elon Musk to thrive.
How did America try to drain corruption in 1800—and accidentally build the swamp instead? And what does that mean today?
Pour something strong. This one’s historical. And current.
