The Tara Palmeri Show

• NEW Epstein Island Photos Confirm Survivors’ Horror Stories

  What hidden truths from Jeffrey Epstein's island are finally piercing through the political smoke and mirrors? On this chilling episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, newly released images from the House Oversight Committee's Epstein files offer a stark glimpse into the remote Virgin Islands compound where unimaginable abuses unfolded, featuring eerie details like dentist chairs and leering masks that corroborate survivors' harrowing accounts of isolation and entrapment. The discussion extends to a recent New York Times op-ed exposing the Trump administration's pattern of manipulation—from early promises to reveal a Democratic "cabal" to sudden shutdowns when his own name surfaced—raising urgent doubts about whether the upcoming December 19 deadline will deliver unredacted justice or more selective redactions under figures like Pam Bondi at the Department of Justice. Accompanying footage captures Tara Palmeri's appearance on Anderson Cooper 360, where she joins Atlantic reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick to dissect the images' significance as documentary evidence that bolsters victims' credibility amid claims of a "hoax," while probing potential evidence tampering post-Epstein's death and the DOJ's long history of blocked investigations across administrations. How much longer will powerful networks evade full accountability for shielding Epstein's crimes?

• Future of News with Tara Palmeri, David Pakman, Don Lemon & Ben Shapiro at Reuters Next Conference

  What happens when Tara Palmeri, Ben Shapiro, Don Lemon, and David Pakman share one stage to debate who really owns the future of news? On this unfiltered episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, Tara joins Ben Shapiro, Don Lemon, and David Pakman on the Reuters Next stage in New York for a rare cross-ideological clash about creators, influencers, and the collapse of traditional media gatekeepers. The four dive deep into why audiences are abandoning cable for YouTube and phones, the difference between raw authenticity and actual credibility, how algorithms are fueling polarization, whether independent creators are just remixers, why the right mastered new platforms first while the left still lags, the burnout of the nonstop news cycle, and what legacy media must finally has to admit if it wants to survive. Moderated by Reuters Institute director Mitali Mukherjee, this candid 40-minute session is one of the sharpest collisions of old and new media you’ll see all year. Which side made the strongest case for the future of news – traditional rigor, opinion-driven authenticity, or something in between?

• Why Trump Targets Female Reporters with Evan Fields

  Why does Donald Trump seem to single out female reporters more than anyone else when they dare ask tough questions? On this unflinching episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, veteran investigative journalist Tara Palmeri sits down with Evan Fields to unpack Trump’s pattern of attacking women in the press, the deeper reasons behind his hostility toward female reporters who refuse to back down, and why women have become the frontline warriors holding power to account in today’s White House briefing room. From her early days fetching coffee at CNN to breaking major scoops at the New York Post and Politico, Tara traces her journey as a muckraker inspired by Nellie Bly and Upton Sinclair, explains why she left corporate media for total independence on Substack and YouTube, and reveals the personal toll and privilege of giving voice to Jeffrey Epstein’s survivors while still chasing the hardest truths in Washington. Why do you think Trump's attacks on female reporters often turn so personal and gendered?

• RFK Jr Steals Michelle Obama’s Food Playbook with Top Chef's Spike Mendelsohn

  What happens when the same healthy-food revolution Republicans once mocked Michelle Obama for is now being led by Robert F Kennedy Jr? On this juicy and revealing episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, Top Chef finalist and D.C. restaurant king Spike Mendelsohn pulls back the curtain on how Washington’s food scene shifts with every administration: Obama’s eclectic fast-casual boom, Trump’s steakhouse surge, and the wild new reality of Republicans embracing the same healthy-food crusade that once got Michelle Obama called the “nanny state.” Spike dishes on creating the legendary Prez Obama burger, the Michelle Melt with Sam Kass, why In-N-Out just ditched food dyes, how tariffs and RFK’s policies are already hitting restaurant menus, and the bizarre Jared Kushner White House lunch order that left everyone speechless. From vegan burgers inside Whole Foods to watching happy hour specials turn overtly political overnight, Spike explains why power, policy, and plates are more intertwined than ever in the nation’s capital. Which D.C. restaurant best captures the current political mood right now — steakhouses, trendy ethnic spots, or something else entirely?

• George Santos Goes Off: Trump Loyalty, Prison, PTSD & What’s Next

  What really happened inside George Santos’ prison cell, and why does he now say being expelled from Congress was the best thing that ever happened to him? On this unfiltered episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, George Santos sits down for his first long-form interview since President Trump commuted his sentence and he walked out of federal prison after 84 days. He pushes back hard on the “stole from a dying dog” narrative, explains why he believes his prosecution was politically driven, reveals the lingering PTSD from 41 days in solitary, and refuses to pick between Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene. From Hermès bags to OnlyFans rumors, from FEMA diamonds to Bob Menendez’s gold bars, nothing is off limits as Santos insists most of Congress runs the same playbook, they just never got caught. Which moment from George Santos shocked you the most, and do you believe he’s actually done with politics for good?
