This week, Antle discusses key topics including the Trump management&#8217;s handling of the jeffrey Epstein files and its potential impact on GOP prospects in upcoming midterm elections. He highlights that many low-propensity voters view the Epstein revelations as a major issue,which could affect voter turnout in nonpresidential elections.<\/p>\n<p>The episode also includes a conversation with Mediaite editor Isaac Schorr about his cover story on Zohran Mamdani, who won New York City&#8217;s Democratic mayoral primary by appealing largely to affluent white voters in traditionally liberal neighborhoods, rather than the expected working-class and minority communities.Schorr describes Mamdani as a cultural, rather than policy-driven, candidate whose image resonates with certain anti-American sentiments.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, the show covers the implications of the newly enacted &#8220;One Big Lovely Bill&#8221; law, which could lead to increased consumer energy bills in Republican-led states while boosting benefits in Democratic ones-posing challenges for everyday Americans and GOP lawmakers trying to maintain their slim congressional majority.<\/p>\n<p>Viewers are encouraged to follow the *Inside Scoop* show on washingtonexaminer.com and social media for deeper reporting behind the headlines.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Inside Scoop: Epstein&rsquo;s influence, how Mamdani won, big-not-beautiful energy bills<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tpd-featured-video\">\n<div id=\"Brid_26092\" class=\"brid\" style=\"width:1280;height:720;\"> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/w-james-antle-iii\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Jim Antle<\/a>, the magazine&rsquo;s executive editor, brings to life the pages of the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/issue\/july-16-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">  magazine<\/a> in the show<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/9N-tKhhT_6E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"> <em>Inside Scoop<\/em><\/a>.
