Tomorrow's Show So the weird Nancy Guthrie coverage is subsiding with no end in sight. The media has used that as a lead story for over two weeks alongside some Jeffrey Epstein discoveries that are mostly mysterious. Terse comments in emails such as “Did you torture her” and “I loved the torture videos” added a crazy amount amount of intrigue. If nothing else, this episode in history will teach people a lesson insofar as email is concerned. The same holds true, probably more so, for phone-to-phone texting as exemplified by the Steve Bannon exchanges with Epstein. And just imagine if the unreleased files held by the CIA and NSA were released. Nobody even mentions that possibility. And where are all the videos from the hidden cameras? Here is a database of a goodly amount of the emails for you to peruse. It will keep you busy. Or start plowing through the incredible number of banal photos here. The public combing through all of these messages will turn up more screwball material than all the newspaper reporters in the world. Crowd sourcing wins out. The show will follow and analyze the material that is genuinely show worthy. Meanwhile, like clockwork, just after the second half of show special last Thursday, it seems as if the we are about to perhaps focus on aliens! This came about after Obama told everyone that aliens exist and it was not an opinion. Trump then says that Obama breached classified information then said perhaps he, Trump, will declassify and RELEASE THE FILES. Ho boy. This never ends. And didn’t they already release the files during some hearings? You might suspect this is a prelude to the upcoming release of some movie in production like in the good old days.
