ahead and take a look at this and the broader issue of government subsidies with our good friend jeffrey tucker, president of the brownstone institute. now jeffrey, i think it's fair to say you're a free market guy. probably not a huge fan of government and rented and agree on deficit. but template you on lots of companies in general. i really benefited from billions in government subsidies for years. but now that tesla is one of the hardest automakers in the world and may not be impacted in the same way, is he just trying to make sure other e v makers can't grow on the back of this government help? maybe that's a pretty dark summer. go out. look, you know, look, you're right. that test has benefited from government involvement and tax rebates and subsidies for manufacturing for years. but i think, you know, he's right in this case. i think he may be america's only honest plutocrat. it's actually his company and sustainable on a town. and he knows that, you know, i, i think what, he's, whether you don't doing something, something's happened to my last couple years. it's like you've discovered t

>> tucker carlson: it certainly is. so, jeffrey epstein's former girlfriend and arranger, ghislaine -- not going to bother pronouncing it, facing up 0 years behind bars for her role in a child sex ring. the daily mail predicts the verdict this week is highly likely. there are rumors if maxwell is named guilty, she will name names. the question is whose names will she name. david, thanks so much for coming on. so, this trial is interesting to the rest of us, but it might answer some still unanswered questions about what jeffrey epstein is doing, where the money came from, and who he was consorting with. are we going to learn any of that? >> i don't think so. i think there's a real disconnect between what the public thinks this trial is and what it really is. it's a federal trial. she's charged with transporting underaged girls. this trial is about trafficking, not the actual abuse itself. and i have to be honest with you, tucker, having sat through almost all of the testimony at this point, i think that the prosecution has made an e

be facing a reckoning of without any kind of historical precedent and anybody's lifetimes. jeffrey albert tucker, wrapping up the hour, i'll be back off the top again in 30. but next, some more great programs get there. start in moments, stick close season. mm hm . oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? high selection, whole community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere which direction? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah max kaiser this is the kaiser report. what have i told you hong kong in a box? what does that mean? let's ask stacey macs a kind of sounds to me like el salvador is hong kong in a box. of course president who kelly himself is always saying, singapore, which kind of fits, you know, they, a country that is a very hot human tropical that turns itself into a financial power house. well, would you believe me if i told you max that you actually predicted this moment back in 2014 february 2014 with turn to mr. a

this wrong -- it says ghislaine maxwell, the socialite and former girlfriend of jeffrey epstein, egged on by people like tuckerthey post these lies from the warmth of their web caves while actual members of the media stand out in the cold to wait to get inside of the courthouse. the narrative got so much traction, the ap ran a fact check. no, the media is not banned from the trial. of course, we're covering it. but the fact is cameras are not allowed in federal court. all we see are sketches inside. there's no live coverage like there was say for the kyle rittenhouse trial. joining me now is julia k. brown, who wrote a book about the case "per vugs of justice: the jeffrey epstein story." she's in new york covering the trial. what is it like to cover the story every day? what are the factors making it hard to cover the trial and helping maybe to cause these crazy theories? >> that's right. the reason why it's very difficult to get in and out of a federal courtroom to begin with because of the security, obviously, but also because they have rules where you can't have cameras in there and you also can't have cell

. >> tucker: we were learning more about the late jeffrey epstein who killed himself and the ties tonton white house. trace gallagher has the story tonight. >> this information came from the clinton presidential library through the freedom of information act. and the daily mail report shows jeffrey epstein visited the white house 17 times. the first in february of '93. a month after bill clinton was inaugurated. the logs show that epstein would visit the west wing a good indication he was there to see the president. in fact, during several visits, clinton and epstein were photographed together and ghislaine maxwell appears in at least one white house photo. now, that's important because maxwell is on trial for recruiting under-aged girls for epstein. and that alleged recruitment would have coincided with epstein's numerous trips to the white house. he visited 4 times in 1993 and 12 times in '94. after bill clinton left the white house. the flight logs show that he flew on epstein's private jet known as the lolita express at least 26 times. clinton always denied any wrongdoing. >> tuc
