You've urged people to move on, but I'm curious, why do you think your supporters in particular have been so interested in the Epstein story and so upset about how it's been handled? I think that is. Well, that was President Donald Trump last night, once again complaining [00:00:17] about the fact that his administration is getting chided by their own supporters over this whole Epstein cover up. Now, this morning, Trump also went completely nuclear multiple times, by the way, and repeatedly insulted his own supporters. [00:00:33] But before we get to that, let's actually see more of what Trump's Trump had to say just last night. He's dead for a long time. He was never a big factor in terms of life. I don't understand what the interest or what the fascination is. [00:00:52] I really don't. And the credible information has been given. Don't forget, we went through years of the Mueller witch hunt and all of the different things, the Steele dossier, which was all fake, all that information was fake. But I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case [00:01:09] would be of interest to anybody. It's pretty boring stuff. It's sorted, but it's boring, and I don't understand why it keeps going. I think really, only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like that going. [00:01:25] But credible information. Let them give it anything that's credible. I would say let them have it. Epstein was never really a big factor in terms of life. Oh, okay. [00:01:40] I mean, Epstein was a big factor when it comes to, I don't know the exact number of young girls who were essentially assaulted and raped because of what Epstein was up to. But I would venture to say that that's a pretty big deal. [00:01:58] And if Trump is wondering why people care about this so much, and let me just say, for anyone who does care about this, whether you're on the left, whether you're part of the MAGA crowd who's furious with the Trump administration over this Epstein coverup right now, these are I'm going to keep [00:02:15] it real on this issue specifically. These are my people because they understand the gravity of this situation. So yes, there are all sorts of theories, right? One of those theories that has a ton of circumstantial evidence to support it is this idea that Jeffrey Epstein was working for intelligence. [00:02:34] Alex Acosta, who prosecuted him and gave him a sweetheart deal, had said on the record, and even till this day, does not deny that he was told to back off because Epstein is intelligence. Now, the question is, which intelligence are we talking about? [00:02:51] And the circumstantial evidence that I'm referring to tends to point to Mossad. It could be possible that Epstein was working with other intelligence organizations as part of a blackmail operation in order to implicate powerful governmental officials. [00:03:08] Certainly here in the United States, in this blackmail scheme right now, why would Mossad want that? Why would any intelligence organization want that, especially as it pertains to American politicians? If you're asking that question, my answer is, are you kidding me? Of course, of course. [00:03:23] That blackmail is incredibly powerful in essentially allowing for foreign countries to steer U.S. Foreign policy. So, Trump, that's the reason why it's a big deal. Another reason why it's a big deal is because members of your administration Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, [00:03:40] obviously Pam Bondi, multiple times over the last several months on cable television has said, we've got the goods. We're going to show you the goods. We're going to release the Epstein files. This you know, this is a child pedophilia ring, you know? [00:03:55] And then all of a sudden, I don't know, there's no client list. No, there's no client. Yeah. Apparently there was no evidence that would incriminate the likes of Ghislaine Maxwell or Jeffrey Epstein. It's just absolutely ridiculous. [00:04:11] So let me just end that rant and just talk about what happened this morning. Because today Trump bashed his own base in a long post on Truth Social. So bear with me as I read some of the relevant excerpts. He writes that the Democrats new scam is what we will forever call [00:04:28] the Jeffrey Epstein hoax. No, we will not forever call it the Jeffrey Epstein hoax. I do want to call what you're doing the Jeffrey Epstein cover up, but I'll continue with what he had to say. And my past supporters. He's referring to people who voted for him who are currently upset with him. [00:04:44] My past supporters have bought into this BS hook, line and sinker. They haven't learned their lesson and probably never will. Even after being conned by the lunatic left for eight long years. [00:04:59] No. They were. They were conned by you and your administration. And they have woken up to that fact. And I feel terrible for them because they genuinely had trust in the Trump administration as it pertains to the release of these so-called Epstein files. [00:05:15] There's more from Trump's post on Truth Social. He says, I have had more success in six months than perhaps any president in our country's history. And all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the fake news and the success starved Democrats, is the Jeffrey Epstein hoax. [00:05:35] Now, look, I actually don't feel comfortable giving the Democratic Party a ton of credit right now because they were in power during the last administration. If they really wanted to release the Epstein files, they could have done it. And now they're really capitalizing [00:05:50] on this, divide Within the Trump base. It's all for political reasons and that grosses me out as well. I want honesty and I want to see the files. I want to see the client list. I want to know which American politicians were implicated in this, [00:06:07] in this situation. More importantly, by the way, all of the individuals who participated in doing this to minors, to young girls should also be prosecuted. No. Or are we just comfortable with allowing powerful people to get away [00:06:23] with victimizing girls like that? I'm not okay with that. Even if this has nothing to do with Epstein. Working for an intelligence organization, which I think he did. But let's say that that's not the case. The injustice, the unfairness and the lies is what really bothers me [00:06:41] and I suspect really bothers, the portion of the Trump base that has now turned on him, and now he's chiding them. He's making them out to be the bad guys. When your administration is the administration that promised to release the goods and reneged on that promise. [00:06:57] It's the most brazen lie, you know, told repeatedly by the Trump administration, and now they're getting called out on it. Final excerpt from his post. He says, let these weaklings. Again, he's talking about his supporters. [00:07:13] Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work. Don't even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don't want their support anymore. Now, the biggest mistake anyone can make in any context is thinking that they are. [00:07:36] They are infallible. They're unstoppable. What Trump is failing to realize is that his power comes from his base. You lose your base. You lose everything, homeboy. You do. And it is incredible to me how far he is willing to go [00:07:53] to engage in this unwillingness to release the Epstein files. And that begs the question, why? Why is that happening? So let's check out some of the replies to that post on Truth Social, so you'll get a little sense of how people are reacting to it. [00:08:09] Now, there were a few comments supporting the president sprinkled in, but there were a lot of comments critical of him, including one that reads why was Epstein in prison then? How about Ghislaine for a hoax? I don't think so. This is the hill we all die on. [00:08:26] Another individual says, why is the Epstein case so important to the MAGA movement? It's why Trump won in 2016. He promised to rip the mask off the globalist elite and drain their filthy swamp. If the GOP betrays that mission again. [00:08:42] At least a third of the base walks and they will lose in 2026. Guaranteed. So. I know that Trump. We all know that Trump has lied to his base on a whole host of issues. But you guys have to understand that right now we live in this like weird, [00:08:59] bifurcated media landscape where people exist in bubbles and they're only exposed to certain information. And so when it comes to economic policies, it could get dense. It could get really difficult to follow. The complexities make it easier for the Trump administration to get away [00:09:15] with lying with the Epstein files. It's a pretty cut and dry case. They make a promise. They keep making the promise repeatedly. And then suddenly, randomly, right before Trump is set to meet with Benjamin Netanyahu as Netanyahu traveled to the United States, [00:09:32] they're like, no, there's no client list. No client list. Okay. All right. Let me just give you one more, rat dog rights. People you nominated for your own administration talked about Epstein for years. Now you're saying it never was. Without giving us the proof. [00:09:50] And you don't want the support of your full base simply because they don't believe what you do. Now, again, there are a few comments in there I don't want to misrepresent. There are some people who are buying Trump's ridiculous narrative hook, line and sinker. So this isn't a situation where you have MAGA [00:10:08] appearing as some sort of monolith, right? There are some who are willing to play ball with Trump no matter what, but there is a sizable portion of his voters, of his supporters who are speaking out, not just private citizens who voted for him, but also pretty big name public figures. [00:10:24] So later this morning, Trump tripled down on insisting that no one should be talking about Jeffrey Epstein. Let's take a quick look at that. It's all been a big hoax. It's perpetrated by the Democrats and some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net. [00:10:40] They're wasting their time with a guy who obviously has some very serious problems, who died 3 or 4 years ago. I'd rather talk about the success we have with the economy, the best we've ever had. The sad part is it's people that are really doing the Democrats work. [00:11:01] They're stupid people. You mentioned past supporters when you were talking about the Epstein issue. Does that mean that you're effectively disowning any supporters who are now calling. A lot of faith in certain people? Yeah, I lost because they got duped by the Democrats. The Democrats are good for nothing. [00:11:19] You should always be skeptical of someone who takes a situation that's really a nonpartizan issue and tries to make it Partizan, and that's what Trump is doing here. This is really a nonpartizan issue. There are people on the left who want to see the Epstein files. I'm one of them. Jake is one of them. [00:11:35] Obviously we've been talking about the situation, and this is not some manufactured political stunt by the Democrats. This was one of the Biggest lies. This is one of the biggest examples of Trump reneging on a promise. [00:11:52] Now, some people have argued, well, Trump's not really on the record. The way that Kash Patel or Pam Bondi is pushing this idea that the Epstein files should be released. Okay, but he didn't ever say when he was running that he would block [00:12:09] the release of Epstein Files. He played along with it. So it's important to keep that in mind as well. And, meanwhile, several right wing media figures, have suddenly stopped talking about Epstein. So there are those who are vocal in their dissent. [00:12:24] But then there are those who are like, okay, Daddy Trump, I'll tell you why. But first, Epstein's name was brought up only eight times across Fox's programing on Monday, with its first reference coming well into the 6 p.m. Hour. By contrast, Fox name checked former President Joe Biden [00:12:42] 158 times that same day. That's hilarious. That's hilarious. So all of a sudden, we're not talking about Epstein. Epstein's irrelevant. We're not going to talk about him as much anymore. You know, it's super relevant. Biden, the guy who's not in charge anymore. [00:12:59] Now, why don't we check in with our favorite onion soup expert, Jesse Watters? Jesse Watters mentioned Epstein's name across more than 100 episodes of his programs over the last six years. Watters said he was leading the charge to expose Jeffrey Epstein's list [00:13:16] of fixers, clients and famous friends. Unlike the corrupt mainstream press, whose silence he claimed aided the powerful people who want to keep you from knowing about Epstein's world. What happened? What happened? Watters I'll tell you. [00:13:31] I'll tell our audience what happened. Well, on Monday night, the sole discussion of the Epstein story on his broadcast came during a segment in which his producer interviewed beach goers. Fun. Now, keep in mind that over the weekend, [00:13:47] CNN also reported the following that the president called some of the attorney general's most vocal critics in an effort to stem the bleeding over the Epstein files, three sources familiar with the matter told CNN. Trump's calls included one with conservative activist Charlie Kirk [00:14:04] on Sunday or Saturday, I should say, to express his support for Bondi. And guess what happened? Kirk was a good boy, so Charlie Kirk said that he was, quote, done talking about Epstein for the time being, [00:14:19] but I think he probably suffered a significant amount of backlash for that because yesterday he claimed that when he said the time being, this is so funny, when he said the time being, what he actually meant was just that day specifically. [00:14:35] So now he says he's going to continue discussing Epstein. Okay, so today Kirk insisted that when Trump repeatedly calls his supporters stupid. He isn't actually referring to his supporters. So Kirk is still trying to do damage control for Trump, even though Trump did call his supporters all sorts of names. [00:14:53] So let's let's see what kind of case Kirk is making here. This is what I'm telling the president, both privately and publicly, is that the base cares about this, not to get you as president Donald Trump is upset on Truth Social. [00:15:11] I do not think he's attacking all of you in the rank and file. Instead, President Donald Trump is venting off some anger right now because he thinks that this is being used to derail his presidency. [00:15:29] You know, look, I know that Trump called you all sorts of names, MAGA, but he's just trying to vent. You know, he's just really frustrated that you're trying to hold him accountable for breaking a big promise. Okay. Now, Kirk also acknowledged, by the way, the massive outrage [00:15:45] from his own fans on this very issue. I can tell you right now, Gen Z is really fired up about this, especially young men. I mean, we're getting flooded with thousands, hundreds of thousands of comments that are very unhappy about this. We're basically having to do the PR work of the administration, basically. [00:16:03] People are very, very confused and some people are very disappointed and mad. You need to help them out a little bit. Explain what is going on. I am worried it's starting to seep in to lower propensity voters, and it's seeping into kind of the lower not information. I hate that, but lower prop. [00:16:19] So many people are chronically online and I disagree. Some people say, oh, only chronically online. People care about it. That's not correct. You're not chronically online, Charlie Kirk. You're chronically online. Now, it's one thing to do a show for an online audience, [00:16:38] but he's posting on social media all day You're perpetually online, so you're going to look down your nose at other people who are criticizing the Trump administration for breaking their promise by saying that they're terminally online. Whatever. Okay. Whatever. [00:16:53] And by the way, I got news for you, Charlie, and I suspect you already knew this. You run a PR operation on behalf of the Trump administration. You think we're stupid? You're providing cover for him right now as we speak. When he broke a promise. When his administration broke a major promise. [00:17:09] Now, what are other conservatives saying about all this? Well, why don't we watch in order of appearance? This is a compilation featuring Dinesh D'Souza, Laura Ingraham, Greg Kelly and Scott Jennings. Going to make the case that even though [00:17:26] there are unanswered questions about Epstein, it is in fact time to move on. Now, as conservative influencers were eating their own about Epstein, the president was stealing the show On the one year anniversary of the day, [00:17:41] he almost lost his life. He made a triumphant appearance at a global sporting event. You know who's really upset right now are the podcasters, as I call it, the Pod. Chrissy. I'm going to just have to defer to President Trump on this thing. [00:17:58] He actually knows Jeffrey Epstein or knew him. He appointed Pam Bondi. He knows all of the players. He knows these lawyers. I'm going to take his word for it. If you vote for Donald Trump and you have trust in his judgment and the people he's appointed, at some point, you have to trust their judgment. [00:18:16] I mean, you put them in charge of this. And I think what Doug said is important to know. The Biden people had this stuff. If there was something incriminating about Trump, it would have come out. And also now the Trump people have this stuff. And if there's something incriminating about, you know, Bill gates or Bill Clinton, it would certainly have come out. [00:18:33] I love how Greg Kelly thinks saying that Trump personally knew Epstein is somehow a good argument for this cover up. And also Scott Jennings. I wish he were here so I could ask him this question. I'm very curious if he would have the same light handed treatment toward other [00:18:52] government officials who decide to use their judgment in their decision making. We can go all the way back to 2020 when, you know, the Democrats that are typically chided by Scott Jennings had decided to do, you know, mask mandates, [00:19:07] school shutdowns in response to Covid. I mean, why don't we just just trust their judgment at some point? You just got to trust their judgment. They're politicians, after all. We all know politicians have good judgment. We should never question them. What kind of argument was that? What kind of argument was that? [00:19:24] There are others who are continuing to speak out. Here's Megyn Kelly, Vinny Oceana, one of my favorites, I'll admit. And Rob Schmitt, sharing their point of view. You now have some MAGA Mega influencers clearly on direction of the white House, saying, okay, I'm done. [00:19:40] Let's not pretend that, you know, some of the president's most loyal advocates are very, very interested in Epstein. They are. All right. However, some in the media let their loyalty to the president trump their journalistic obligation. [00:19:56] And I refuse, refuse to be the CNN of Trump 2.0, where they just trusted the administration on Biden's mental acuity. Let's just call it what it is. Something is obviously off. [00:20:12] I don't know if the president's name is involved. Something is going on where everybody where we were promised everything. Bongino. Everybody came in all riding high at the moment they came in. Everything's changed, and now they're trying to tell us that we're crazy. [00:20:27] And when somebody like Ben Shapiro of all people, is telling me not to look into something and then go, that's a it's a, it's a conspiracy. I don't I don't listen to it, okay? It's absolutely something is up. You may have noticed the Epstein story was almost nowhere to be found, though, [00:20:43] on Fox News these last couple of days, after months of very consistent coverage, it's pretty obvious that a lot of people don't really know what to do with this. There's a lot of people that are very scared because it's clear that the white House didn't want this to be a subject. [00:20:59] But Trump's base, his supporters and base care about it. And so there was a bit of a conflict there. And a lot of TV hosts are terrified of what to say and how to say it, because they don't want to lose their audience and they don't want to piss off the white House at the same time. [00:21:16] And look, when it comes to these two feuding compilation videos that we've shown you, the second one, where you have media figures essentially questioning the Trump administration, seem to be the most persuasive or at least the most in line with the American people, because despite how much the Trump administration is trying to spin this. [00:21:35] They're bringing up the Steele dossier. Oh, it's the Democrats. The American people aren't buying it. And that's according to a YouGov and economist poll that just came out. They polled Americans between July 11th and 14th. And here's what they found. Respondents to the survey were asked, should the government release [00:21:53] all the documents that it has about the Jeffrey Epstein case? And an almost unheard of 79% responded yes, versus just 5% saying no, including a stunning 83% of Trump voters. [00:22:08] Respondents were also asked if the government is covering up evidence about Epstein and get a load. Of this, 67% of all Americans say yes, there's a cover up with another full quarter. Not sure, meaning 92% of Americans are at least open to the idea [00:22:24] that the government, that Trump runs is covering up evidence on Epstein. That's not a good look. So it doesn't appear that Trump is willing to change course on this. If I were to bet money on it, we're never going to see any additional evidence, any anything released pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein. [00:22:44] And that's a damn shame, because I think the American people deserve to know what type of political leaders, what type of powerful individuals were implicated in the abuse of young girls, at the very least. [00:22:59] And we should know whether or not these theories of a blackmail operation are true. Because I need to know whether our government is being controlled by other governments. I want to know whether our foreign policy decisions are actually driven by what's best for the American people, or whether it's driven [00:23:17] by what's best for another country. So we'll wait and see how this develops. But I'm really happy to see that people aren't dropping this, because I do think this is a serious issue. Every time you ring the bell, an angel gets its wings. Totally not true, but it does keep you updated on our live shows.
