The Tara Palmeri Show

George Conway — once a Republican who cried tears of joy when Trump won in 2016, now a Democrat running for Congress in Manhattan — joins Tara to make his case for a third impeachment of Donald Trump. The former Federalist Society member and ex-husband of Kellyanne Conway argues this time is different: with a Democratic Senate setting the rules, a real trial with live witnesses could finally expose the corruption. They get into why he thinks impeachment can work now, how he'd pursue the Epstein files if elected, his evolution from Reagan Republican to registered Democrat, and Trump's accidental confession that the Iran conflict is a war he never got Congress to authorize.

BREAKING: President Trump has informed Attorney General Pam Bondi that she's out. Tara goes live to break down the firing, what it means for the Epstein files, and the unmistakable pattern — it's the women in Trump's cabinet who keep getting axed. From Kristi Noem to Kari Lake to Linda McMahon to Tulsi Gabbard, the ladies are out. Tara runs through Bondi's disastrous tenure: the "case closed" announcement, the botched redactions that exposed victim names, the 2.5 million files still being withheld, the canceled meetings with survivors, and that brutal congressional hearing.

The war in Iran isn't just America's problem — the rest of the world is already feeling it. Thailand's news anchors are ditching jackets on air to save energy. The Philippines moved to a four-day workweek. Japan is telling people to take shorter showers. Obama economic adviser and former UBS Americas chairman Robert Wolf returns to break down the global ripple effects of the Strait of Hormuz shutdown — from fertilizer shortages threatening grocery prices to the UK energy crisis to why Treasury rates may be the most important number no one is watching. He also weighs in on whether Trump's "two weeks" timeline is realistic, the real risk of stagflation if oil hits $150 a barrel, and why Iran is not Venezuela.

Why did so many powerful, accomplished people keep showing up at Jeffrey Epstein's dinner table — even after he was a known sex offender? Journalist Holly Peterson grew up in this world. Her father was Secretary of Commerce, and she's spent decades observing the psychology of Manhattan's elite. In her latest Wall Street Journal piece, she argues the answer isn't as simple as black and white. Tara pushes back, and the two go deep on the "accomplisher class" — the ambition, the networking, the greed, and the culture of silence that helped launder Epstein's reputation for years. They also discuss Ghislaine Maxwell's grooming of high society, the Kathy Ruemmler emails, the Brad Karp–Leon Black revelations, why empathy drops as wealth rises, and whether Robert Maxwell's fortune was really behind Epstein's mysterious wealth all along. Plus: the raunchy birthday song Ghislaine had performed in front of Manhattan's elite.
