Jess: My heart breaks for you for what you have gone thru. I am so sorry that it happened. Please stay strong. You are a survivor and no one can take that away from you. Thank you for talking with us. God Bless.

I totally agree. I'm so glad that he didn't break her. She has so much to live for.

Great interview with Harry too.

Powerful conclusion, Jim, with your question to our lawmakers. I pray that some of them will listen, and any morsel of morality they still have will awaken in them.

Speaking of a "morsel of morality," Guardian Of Pedophiles member, Congressman Gym Jordan, refused to simply speak up for the male student wrestlers on the team he helped to coach at Ohio State.

There was credible evidence that Jordan knew about the boys being sexually assaulted by a male doctor who worked for Ohio State for years. But Jordan continued to deny any knowledge of it.

We know Jordan is a liar because he's been one of the most vocal Republican liars and "bombthrowers" for years in Congress. He's spouted many, many publicly known lies without a shred of embarrassment or conscience.

Ohio has rewarded him with more than 15 years in the House of Representatives.

And now Jordan is the Chair of the United States House Committee on the Judiciary.

What a farce and what a dangerous lowlife to have any power in Washington.

I agree! JJ is such a coward and hypocrite. We need to keep all SA survivors in our hearts and minds. These include way too many boys, who tend to keep it more of a secret than girls. Too much hurting going on and too many looking the other way.

Jess thank you so much. 1991.. it is very important for people to understand how far back these crimes go.

Jim, thank you for your kindness.

Jess and every one of those women deserve every bit of kindness.

Thank you for such a heartfelt and important episode today, Jim. Jess’s strength in showing the human toll of the Epstein story was incredible to watch. She’s a true warrior and I was so moved by her ability to articulate the hard road trauma survivors face. And Harry Dunn will always be an American hero in my book. The message of resilience throughout the show was a powerful way to end the week.

Trump's name has already been redacted from the files. The reason given was because he was a private citizen. Our wanting it had nothing to do with him being a private citizen, but wanting to know if he was a pedophile. I think we have the answer. Other names were redacted, too. I hope those that did the redacting will come forward with what they know. The redacting was done before he was saying that there was nothing there. This is the worst corruption and sex crimes that our country has ever seen and we still need answers. When the DOJ was petitioning the court to have the grand jury files released, the redaction was already done. I still think that Musk has a copy because of his DOGE work(stealing) and the fact that he knew that Trump was in the files before all of this was brought up. He wasn't in Trump's circle at that time and I can't imagine Trump bragging to him about it. What a f__king coverup. I hope Trump realizes that hell is waiting for him. That will be his permanent home.

Recently, I was reminded of "Katie Johnson" - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3894806/Woman-alleged-raped-Donald-Trump-13-Jeffrey-Epstein-sex-party-DROPS-case-casting-doubt-truth-claims.html

Mr Acosta - do you know if she is still alive?

My hope is that if she is, she will honor the incredible courage of Ms Michaels and Ms Giuffre, and reveal why she suddenly dropped her case, and now share her complete story.

It is particularly important that if she and her family were threatened that that become known.

Thank you Ms Michaels for your exceptional empathy and courage and advocacy for the victims of these monsters, not the least of whom is donald.

She is top notch so are you Jim. Thanks for interviewing Jess. Virginia killed herself. Now the DOJ has released Maxwell.

I’ve been thinking about Jess, ever since you both were live a few hours ago. Thank you Jess for coming on with Jim, talking to us all and allowing us to send you support and love. ❤️

Thank you Jim for having both Jess and Harry on today and your closing remarks. I always greatly appreciate your work, your integrity and honesty.

Capitol Police were victims also. Trauma that never goes away.

Gail Talbot's avatar

Nobody want Maxwell out of prison AND she should be moved back to Tallahassee FL.

Lynda Perkins's avatar

Can you get Jean E Carroll on ????

Jeri ODonnell's avatar

TRUMP is a convicted sexual assaulter! Of course he’ll pardon Maxwell! And appoint a convicted child molester to head up a committee having to do with kids. He’s normalizing sexual assault. And no news media is picking up on this!

Jeri ODonnell's avatar

I think the main reason that nothing is done by police, etc., is that most men don’t think sexually assaulting, trafficking, raping, and controlling women is really a crime

I couldn't stop listening to this, in my car, in the grocery store, and home. I may relisten. We all should be listening to this right now.
