Turning now to Epste. A lot of Epstein stuff going on in the news behind uh the radar. 
One of them though uh actually links to the Democratic race or the Democratic nominee in Maine, Graham Platner, uh who was asked because he's been talking quite a bit about the Epstein files. 
He's also had his recent uh sexing scandal. 
And so, Morning Joe's Mika Presinski tried to link the two in a recent interview. 
Let's take a listen. 
>> Let me ask you that this way. Um, can you just talk about the nature of the sexing in terms of can you call for the release of the Epstein files and can you call out those who have abused women and not be conflicted in any way? 
>> Yes, of course. I mean, I I engaged in >> consensual romantic activities with adults at an earlier part in my life. 
That seems like a fairly normal thing most people do. 
Going to an island with billionaires to possibly assault children is a vastly vastly different thing. 
>> So yeah, kind of amusing. I think there Crystal I mean can you imaged someone 
>> you had a consensual adult relationship >> which I'm not condoning. He did it outside of his marriage. Not the same thing >> but not the same as a elite pedophile cabal sex trafficking cabal. I mean, it's just horrifying that you It's insane. And listen, Emma Vigalin tweeted this out. 
Hey, Ma, if you're going to be the morality police, let's check in on the timeline of you and your co-host's relationship here. 
I mean, look, people like, I don't care. Live your life. But if you're going to go out there, oh my god, you sexed someone. 
Like, shouldn't this be career ending? And isn't this exactly the same as raping a 13-year-old? How can you have any like absolute insanity? I don't know what's going on with her. 
It's kind of interesting because Joe I watched the whole interview. 
>> Joe was actually seemed like he was sympathetic to Graham. 
>> Well, he's always been anti me too, hasn't he? He's he's always been like a little bit 
>> I haven't followed his entire trajectory there. He may have a good reason for being 
>> Yeah, I was just >> But in any case, >> just don't Google No, I'm not going to say it. Just don't Google intern. Oh, I said it. I said it. Just Just don't Google it. 
>> Anyway, he's not being a hypocrite here. 
Um and but he kept signaling in the interview. He's like, "Yeah, Mika's gonna have some questions for you." 
in any case, I mean, just complete absurdity. 
And I think, you know, just I didn't get to say my whole piece cuz Ryan and Emily covered the Platiner victory. 
>> He got Sager more votes than any Democratic Senate nominee in history. 
>> I didn't more actually. 
>> And there was a whole, oh my god, should he drop out? Maybe Janet Mills is actually going to win blah blah. No, it was a complete and total blowout. 
Then the other question was because there was a um gubanatorial primary as well. Oh, maybe everyone's going to vote for the governor candidates, but they're not going to even vote in the Senate because they're so upset about these allegations against Graham and they're so disgusted that they don't have any other Nope. 
That didn't happen either. So, um it shows you how disconnected that view is from what actual voters in Maine are thinking about all of this and the way that they're reacting. 
>> That's crazy. I didn't know that. Uh, I actually would be curious to compare that to 2024, like the number of votes for him. And then also to consider like if just those people show up. 
Yeah, because it's it's something so funny how small Man is. 
He won it with 150,000 votes, then 72%. 
It's a small state.
