Trump IMPLODES As Epstein Saga RAGES
President Trump went on an unhinged rant on Truth Social, slamming his own supporters for asking questions about the Epstein files.
- 17 minutes
Donald Trump on Saturday chided
his own supporters for asking questions
about the Epstein files
and a massive statement on Truth Social.
This was one of the longer ones the post
is too long to show you in its entirety.
In fact, that's how long it was, so we'll
just give you some excerpts momentarily.
[00:00:16]
But you've already read that statement.
Digested it fully
will say what was your initial reaction?
So the initial reaction
is he's telling on himself.
This is almost a confession.
So we're going to break it down
for you guys.
So you see what happened.
And I'm greatly amused by Donald Trump's
lawyer who was also Epstein's lawyer.
[00:00:38]
Yet another coincidence
coming in to say no.
Trust me, my clients didn't do it.
Oh, well, that's super compelling.
So we'll get to that a little bit later.
But one of the things I didn't notice
the first time I broke it down, Sharon,
was something that some
right wingers pointed out
[00:00:53]
where I now think, oh no, is it possible?
Well, I'll tell you what that is
as we go through.
All right. Can't wait to hear about that.
But first let's give you some
of those snippets of what Trump wrote.
Here's the first.
We have a perfect administration,
a talk of the world.
[00:01:12]
And selfish people are trying
to hurt it all over a guy who never dies.
Jeffrey Epstein before I even go further,
apparently it was right in the beginning.
Oh, okay. So that was the one.
So I don't want to overly tease you.
I just want to tell you
what we promised you.
[00:01:29]
So that was the one
where right wingers were like,
what do you mean, Epstein never dies?
And I was like, guys, come on,
let's not get into Tupac's alive.
And so is Elvis and all this stuff, right?
But then I was like, wait,
Trump has verbal diarrhea.
Like, he always says, what's on his mind?
Accidentally, right?
[00:01:46]
The guy who never dies.
It is a curious thing that he said.
So is that enough to think
that Jeffrey Epstein is actually alive?
No, no.
Is it even likely that he's still alive?
I'm going to guess. No, no.
Not likely.
Okay, that's one of the wilder conspiracy
theories, but the guy who never dies.
[00:02:08]
When Trump says something,
it was usually top of mind.
Okay. Just makes you go, No big deal.
- Let's keep going.
- All right.
Number two, why are we giving publicity
to files written by Obama,
crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan,
[00:02:23]
and the losers and criminals of the Biden
administration who calm the world
with the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.
51 intelligence agents,
the laptop from hell and more.
They created the Epstein files
just like they created the fake Hillary
[00:02:39]
Clinton Christopher Steele dossier.
I'm going to jump in again.
Yeah, I used to.
- You have to.
- Right.
This is so. Yeah.
Wait, so the Department of Justice
released a memo last week
saying there are no Epstein files.
Now, Trump is revising that to say there
are Epstein files, they're just fake.
[00:02:59]
And Obama and Biden created them.
But wait, if Obama and Biden created them,
Why did you run on them?
Why did you tell everyone they were real
and that you were outraged and you
were going to get to the bottom of it?
And are they fake or or do they not exist?
Because if they're fake.
[00:03:17]
Well, all right. That's all right.
Show it and show us how they were fake
and how they were doctored.
That's super interesting.
Release the fake files.
This guy's an idiot.
So he's digging and digging
and and and throughout this,
he was insulting his own voters.
[00:03:34]
This went over like a lead balloon.
MAGA hated this name.
He got ratioed on Truth Social about this.
Wow. So more.
Wow.
Kash Patel and the FBI must be focused
on investigating voter fraud.
[00:03:49]
Political corruption, blew the rigged
and stolen election of 2020,
and arresting thugs and criminals instead
of spending month after month looking
at nothing but the same old radical left
inspired documents on Jeffrey Epstein.
[00:04:04]
Let Pam Bondi do her job. She's great.
Okay, so the radical left
came up with the Epstein files.
Apparently.
So he's saying that MAGA, all all of MAGA
[00:04:22]
was hoodwinked by the radical left.
There are no Epstein files,
or they're fake.
Or both.
And MAGA was just not bright enough
to realize it was a radical left plot
as Donald Trump, Dan Bongino, Kash Patel,
[00:04:37]
JD Vance, and almost everyone in the right
wing talked about how important
the Epstein files were throughout.
Were they also hoodwinked?
Was Trump hoodwinked
when he was talking about Epstein files?
Okay.
I guess he's calling MAGA stupid and
that they and that all of this is fake.
[00:04:56]
Don't worry about it.
But then I have one quick question.
- Sharon, who raped all those girls?
- Yeah.
Because if it's fake and it never existed,
Doesn't do the girls not exist?
Do the nearly $500 million in payouts
for lawsuits regarding those rapes?
[00:05:16]
They just paid them for no reason.
Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison even
though there's no evidence against her.
Epstein killed himself right before he
was about to be released because there's
no evidence or the evidence was fake.
Oh. Donald Trump's in a lot of trouble
here because this is bona fide horse crap.
[00:05:35]
And now not just the left
and independents,
but MAGA can see the horse crap.
All right, keep going.
Well. Here's more.
The horse is still going.
One year ago, our country was dead,
and now it's the hottest country
anywhere in the world.
[00:05:51]
Let's keep it that way and not waste time
and energy on Jeffrey Epstein.
Somebody that nobody cares about.
A lot of people care.
A lot of people care.
Attorney General Pam Bondi. Sharon, when.
He says nobody cares about it,
that might enrage people more than any
[00:06:10]
of the other horsecrap we just went over
because they're like, are you?
Are you kidding me? Right now?
You're telling me that the thing
we were all animated about,
most animated by for the last ten years?
Nobody cares about it.
You're now pretending
that we don't care about it.
No, I care about it. I care about it.
[00:06:28]
So when he insults their intelligence
and tells them now your job
is to not care about it anymore, they're
like, no, wrong, brother, not my job.
And that's why MAGA is
fighting within itself now.
Because some of the Trump guys
are just going no, Trump, Trump, Trump,
Trump and a lot of the other MAGA guys
are going, no, not Trump, Trump, Trump.
[00:06:46]
Like this is BS
no matter where it comes from.
And now some of the within the MAGA split,
the MAGA guys that believe
in the idea of anti-establishment
are starting to attack the pro-Trump guys
as a cult that just backs the guy instead
of the ideas that they believed in.
[00:07:05]
So, I mean, within six months
of Trump taking office.
This.
So if you were hoping for a mega split
or you were, I mean, you couldn't
have asked for better than this.
I mean, what I would greatly prefer
is to find out who actually did
[00:07:21]
the goddamn crimes, right?
I would love to know who did the crimes,
but the fact that a huge percentage of
Mega is waking up here is a silver lining.
All right. More.
Let's talk about the attorney general,
Pam Bondi.
Of course, she's taken the brunt
of criticism over the Epstein files.
[00:07:39]
Bait and switch is is
the accusation mostly.
But judging from that post, Donald Trump
seems to be staying with Bondi for now.
For now at least. Last week,
we covered a series of reports
that alleged FBI director Kash Patel
and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino
were on the verge of resigning
[00:07:57]
from the Trump administration
if Bondi got to keep her job.
Bongino hasn't commented
on that speculation,
but Patel has denied the reporting.
Let's see what he wrote on X here.
The conspiracy theories just aren't true.
[00:08:13]
Never have been.
It's an honor to serve
the president of the United States.
At real Donald Trump, and I'll continue
to do so for as long as he calls on me.
- Kash patel.
- Okay, wait wait, wait.
Is he saying that this was a conspiracy
theory all along because he's on tape
[00:08:32]
talking about it dozens of times?
Like, this is breaking every record
on gaslighting now.
Kash Patel is saying,
oh, you guys are all crazy.
No, there was no Jeffrey Epstein.
You know, issue at all.
[00:08:47]
You guys are all conspiracy theorists,
and so am I. What is this?
This is this is beyond ludicrous.
Okay. Keep going.
Well, maybe maybe somebody
who's an insider
will help you understand this thing.
[00:09:03]
Jake.
Trump's former lawyer,
David Schoen, denying that the president
is in the Epstein files.
Here's what he wrote on X. I was hired
to lead Jeffrey Epstein's defense as his
criminal lawyer nine days before he died.
He sought my advice
for months before that.
[00:09:22]
I can say authoritatively, unequivocally,
definitively he had no information
to hurt President Donald Trump.
I specifically asked him, there's
a lawyer, an insider who's probably one
of the last people who had substantial
[00:09:41]
conversations with Jeffrey Epstein.
- Do you believe him?
- So let me get this right.
He was Epstein's lawyer
and he was Trump's lawyer.
And he says, don't worry about it.
They're both innocent.
Oh, wow. What an authoritative source.
Oh, wait.
Trump and Epstein had the same lawyer.
[00:09:59]
Things that make you go.
Okay, so it was a brief time
for both of them, but Alan Dershowitz
represented both of them as well.
But don't worry.
Alan Dershowitz, actually,
Alan Dershowitz says that apparently,
according to Benny Johnson, that he
took Epstein to Israel all the time
[00:10:17]
and met with members of Parliament.
And we saw the other last week,
Dershowitz on tape telling Sean Spicer,
oh, no, I know that there's a list
and I know who's involved,
but I'm not going to tell you because of
confidentiality, confidentiality reasons.
[00:10:32]
So we all know there's a list.
We all know there's people on it.
But, no, no.
Trump and Epstein's lawyer
says you can look away now.
Okay. Very convincing.
And, you know, people actually cited
that, like, that's what cracked me up.
Like, who cares?
I mean, of course his lawyer's
gonna say he's innocent, right?
[00:10:49]
But, like, people in, like,
establishment media, they're like, no, no.
Trump's lawyer says
that he's not involved with Epstein.
Also Epstein's lawyer. So that settles it.
- Does it?
- Officer of the court.
- Officers are officers.
- Of the court?
[00:11:04]
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay.
So, look, despite the best efforts
of Trump, his administration, his allies,
the MAGA base is still
very unhappy about this.
And that's because their messaging
has been all over the place.
Journalist Prem Thakkar
did a good job of summarizing
[00:11:20]
how Trump and his administration
have talked about the Epstein files, so
they actually have been talking about it.
They talked about it before and then once
in office, here's what they're saying.
We're releasing the obscene files day one.
There are no Epstein files.
[00:11:35]
Here's video proof. Nothing happened.
Okay, we had to edit it.
There are no Epstein files.
There are Epstein files,
but the Democrats made them.
Why do you care so much
about this Epstein guy?
What are files?
[00:11:53]
So, look, I. I don't know what kind
of a job they could have done better here,
trying to make this thing go away.
But this ain't it.
Again, it's like that news
cycle question for you.
[00:12:08]
Who's going to win this one?
So no one's going to win this one.
Because, the people who want Epstein
files released and the,
and the the guys who did it prosecuted.
It looks like we have no pressure at all.
[00:12:24]
I mean, the only prayer is like someone
populist left, like Bernie Sanders,
who they can't call anti-Semitic, and
who would just go, oh, so the CIA did it.
So you're telling me or Mossad did it?
So that's why I can't release the files?
Yes, I can.
I never liked those agencies anyway.
Right.
[00:12:42]
So that's your only prayer
other than that?
Right. It's.
You're not going to get what you want.
Every corporate Democrat and every
corporate Republican will bend the knee.
They will never, ever,
ever release these files.
And by the way, most importantly,
never prosecute any of the rapists.
[00:12:58]
Right.
So the entire how are we supposed to not
get frustrated when the entire government
and both parties say to our face hundreds,
maybe even thousands of American underage
girls were raped and we're not going
to prosecute a single person who did it?
[00:13:17]
No, that's untenable.
But they're not going to.
They're never, ever, ever going to do it.
Okay.
So they're. So we're not going to win.
But if Trump thinks
he's going to win with, Obama said
Biden created the Epstein files.
[00:13:33]
And like the reason why I say he's telling
on himself is you're acting so nervous and
defensive, like he's almost everything.
That true social post was engineered
so that if you find out Trump is in is
on the list, he'll get to say no, no, no.
[00:13:48]
It was Obama and Biden
that created a fake file.
A fake file. That's what it was.
Right.
And down the list, right,
of everything he wrote on there,
you should stop asking about it.
Pam Bondi is doing a great job.
Who cares who's on the list?
No one cares who's on the list, brother.
[00:14:05]
Like, why don't you just wear a chain
that says I'm on the list?
So look again, we don't know if it's
because Trump and Clinton were on the list
and they're correct, you know,
protecting the powerful, etc.
Or intelligence agencies.
But either way,
they're not going to release it.
Trump's going to get
is getting currently getting slaughtered
[00:14:21]
by his own base over this.
And if he keeps insisting on this
for three and a half years,
I'm not even sure he's going to make it.
People are so freaking angry over this.
But overall, Sharon,
last thing that's really important.
They are now eroding the trust
in all of government and all institutions
[00:14:41]
to a dangerous point.
Like people are starting
to give up on democracy.
Yeah.
And so the alternative
is much, much, much worse.
So we we desperately,
urgently need a government that's going
[00:14:59]
to listen to the American people just
a little bit like they forgot
to do the release valve in this one.
And so without the release valve,
this thing's going to blow.
And I hope it doesn't happen.
And I'm worried to death about it.
But now the anger on all sides
is going to dangerous levels because the
[00:15:17]
- US government is definitely lying to us.
- Okay, but.
Isn't that you know when I say winning
and I know we got to run.
Couldn't instead of giving up on democracy
that that that carries this, this anger,
this energy through the midterms to start
to, you know, change the tide here.
[00:15:36]
Yes, absolutely.
Look, there's no one organization
that's honest.
There's a rebellion pack because I run it.
So when Kara Eastman, etc..
And so look, those are all people
who don't take corporate PAC money
who've made a pledge to deliver on these
things when they get into office.
[00:15:55]
So check out rebellion.com.
I know other guys who are honest,
wolf pack fight corruption us.
They want to get
the money out of politics.
So all of our politicians are crooks.
But if you like, if you're hoping that,
hey, if the Democrats win the midterms,
but it's not populist left,
it's not rebellion.
[00:16:12]
It's just like, oh, the Adam Schiff wing
added a couple of votes.
They're not going to do anything
if they have subpoena power.
Do you think they're going
to subpoena the Epstein list?
Of course not.
They had four years to do it under Biden.
They didn't do it
because they don't want to.
[00:16:27]
The Democrats here.
I don't know
if you can say equally corrupt.
I don't really care if it's 55, 45.
One way or another.
All I know is both parties,
100% are covering up this horrific crime.
[00:16:42]
So the way that they could prove
to us that they're not is the minute
one of the parties is in charge,
like the Republicans are now,
either in Congress or the white House,
they both have the power to do it.
They could just release the list.
If they don't do it,
then they're obviously part of the cover
up and part of those rapes.
[00:16:59]
Yeah, I said it.
So if you're a Democratic politician
and you're not voting with Ro Khanna
to make sure that these crimes
are exposed, you're guilty.
That's it. Period.
[00:17:15]
Also, obviously Republicans
and obviously of Donald Trump.
Every time you ring the bell below,
an angel gets his wings.
Totally not true.
But it does keep you updated
on our live shows.
