About the recently released Epstein files, Maher said he has apologized to QAnon for alleging that “vast elites around the world [were conspiring] to traffic kids.” Those conspiracy theorists were “more right than I let on,” the host admitted.

Talarico jumped in, saying:
QAnon was wrong about one big thing. They thought Donald Trump was the one to take down the secret pedophile ring when he is mentioned 38,000 times in the Epstein files. He flew repeatedly on Epstein’s private jet and then lied about it. He sent Epstein a happy birthday card with a picture of a naked woman, talking about their “wonderful secret.” So the fact that QAnon thought that guy was going to take down the secret pedophile ring when he’s right in the middle of it? I think it was clearly wrong.
Boebert, who has been reviewing the Epstein files, criticized the rollout as well as the “redactions underneath the redactions.” But she said she’s “happy with the transparency so far” and glad to finally see some accountability.
Although Boebert maintained that people mentioned in the files are “heavy left-leaning,” Talarico said, “I would hope that we can all agree that regardless of their political affiliation, anyone who’s found guilty of committing these crimes should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
He added, “I’m trying to figure out when pedophilia became a partisan issue in this country. Because if there’s anything we should all agree on, it’s that no one, including the most powerful man in the country, should be able to cover up those crimes against children.”
