A suggested title for any movie, books or television series found in the Dog Days of 2025? “The summer I learned to capitular.”
Julio is emerging as a month of curvature like no other, and that is a great achievement given the record number of universities, law firms, television networks and media that have resolved demands, closed programs, wrote the coverage and perhaps even canceled a first night program with a night qualification with the hopes of an appropriate president Trump.
“The Daily Show” Jon Stewart summarized him in the program on Monday when the host that gave Colbert his start as a “Daily Show” corresponded in Paramount Global, the CBS parent company, for his announcement on Friday that he was canceling “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
Paramount is in the process of an acquisition of Skydance Media that will require the approval of the Federal Communications Commission, directed by the president of the FCC, Brendan Carr, appointed by Trump. CBS said his choice was “purely a financial decision.” Paramount recently paid Trump $ 16 million to resolve a lawsuit that the president filed against “60 minutes” for an interview by Kamala Harris, he said, he was “deceptively edited.”
Stewart said that, interview programs are a dying art, comparing the format with a very successful kiosk inside a Record Tower, but defended what he and his fellow hosts and brothers of “Daily Show” like Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers do every night. “Believe me, this is not a 'we talk true to power'. We don't talk.
Stewart, whose show is transmitted in the comedy of Paramount distorts central, proclaimed: “I'm not going to give myself! I'm not going to go anywhere! … I think.”
The owner of the Times, Patrick Soon-Shiong, was Stewart's guest and announced that the Times would be public during the next year. Stewart bordered questions about the role of the newspaper in an era in which journalists and points of sale are censoring their work under threat of repercussions of the White House and, on the other hand, focused on the cancer investigation of their guest, pharmaceutical knowledge and the reason to enter the publication.
Colbert also assumed the explanation of CBS for his dismissal in his program on Monday night, saying: “How can it be a financial decision if the program is number 1 in the qualifications? It is confusing. Many people are asking that question, mainly the parents and spouses of my staff.”
But no person or body folded faster or in greater numbers in the last 24 hours than the members of the Republican Party. They have had a lot of practice, of course. On Tuesday, the president of the Mike Johnson house (R-La.) Announced that the house controlled by the Republican party was shortening its last week of work before taking a summer break of a month. The objective was to frustrate an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, Trump's convicted sexual offender, financial and former friend, and reduce the bipartisan impulse for the legislation that aims to force the release of more documents.
Johnson said he wanted to give “space” to the White House to release Epstein's information on his own. The Trump administration launched something on Monday: 240,000 pages of records related to the surveillance of the FBI of Martin Luther King Jr. Before his murder of 1968. Curiously, the information totally unrelated to Epstein did not stop the supporters of Maga, some Republicans and Democrats of Congress who have taken advantage of the time to demand answers.
The Department of Justice tried to suffocate part of the fervor when he announced on Tuesday that Deputy Atty. General Todd Blanche will meet with Ghislaine Maxwell, associate of Epstein condemned, at some point. Trump and his base have promoted accusations on the convict sexual offender, insisting that the “deep state” was protecting the liberal elites who were Epstein clients. Now the conspiracy has come home for Roost, and the usual fear tactics of Trump and the legal maneuver used to silence and destroy critics have not worked.
The recent reports in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal provided more red meat for the food frenzy around Trump's participation with Epstein and the women allegedly trafficked by the deceased convicted criminal. The Journal reported that in 2003, Trump sent a birthday card to Epstein for his 50th birthday, full of women's breast scribbles, pubic hair and clandestine word: “May every day be another wonderful secret.”
Even against a powerful conspiracy theory, the great fold of 2025 can continue to protect any secret that stalks under bad poetry.
