Trump CAN'T Hide From The Epstein Scandal
Both Democratic and Republican lawmakers are demanding a full release of all government files on Jeffrey Epstein.
- 12 minutes
There are some very rich and
powerful people that need to go to jail.
I think everyone's been frustrated
as to why that hasn't happened before,
but it is very much so possibility
that Jeffrey Epstein was a intelligence
asset working for our adversaries.
But also to I think the questions
that we have is how much did
[00:00:16]
our own government know about it?
Wow.
You just heard that that was Republican
Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna,
who went further than any other lawmaker
on Capitol Hill yesterday,
demonstrating her willingness to suggest
that Jeffrey Epstein was possibly working
[00:00:34]
with a foreign intelligence agency.
Now, you all know what I think about that.
I am inclined to believe it.
However, her comments came on the same day
the House Oversight Committee
tried yet again to pull a fast one
on the American people by releasing tens
[00:00:53]
of thousands of Epstein related records,
including flight logs and court filings.
Which sounds pretty good, right?
That's what we want.
Except that the overwhelming majority
of those documents
were already in the public record.
Like, do they think we're stupid?
[00:01:10]
Like, do they think, like, no one's going
to go through the 33,000 documents
that they're releasing and figure out
that they had already been released?
It's just it's insane.
So here's what, Democrat Democratic
Representative Ro Khanna told MSNBC
[00:01:27]
last week when the DOJ first released
the documents to the committee.
We were up all night, and we now have
a fact that only 3% of the documents
that were given to us were new,
[00:01:45]
97% were already in the public domain,
and less than 1% of the files
have actually been released.
The Epstein files are 300 gigabits.
We know this
because that's what the FBI has said.
[00:02:03]
And they've released less
than one gigabit.
So they've released less than 1%
and less than 1%. They've released
97% is still in the public record.
Bottom line, they're stonewalling
and not releasing things.
[00:02:18]
Okay, so that's
what Ro Khanna said last week.
Right.
The DOJ gave the House Oversight Committee
documents that were already
in the public record,
and then the House Oversight Committee
releases those same documents
[00:02:34]
which were already in the public record.
So Representative Robert Garcia, ranking
member of the House Oversight Committee,
said a new disclosure in Tuesday's release
is less than 1000 pages from
the Customs and Border Protection's log
of flight locations of the Epstein plane
[00:02:50]
from 2000 to 2014,
and forms consistent with reentry
back to the United States.
The 33,000 pages of Epstein documents
James Comer has decided to release
were already mostly public information
to the American people.
[00:03:09]
Don't let this fool you.
Don't worry.
I am not fooled. So why?
That's why lawmakers like Ro Khanna
and Thomas Massie.
So you have a Democrat and a libertarian
who caucuses with the Republicans,
are holding the DOJ and the Trump
administration's feet to the fire.
[00:03:27]
So here is Massie taking a direct shot
at the Trump White House.
I think the best way to clear President
Trump's name is to release all the files.
I actually don't think
he's done anything criminal.
I think he may be covering
for some rich and powerful people
[00:03:44]
that are friends of his.
And in fact, some of those billionaires
are running ads against me
in Kentucky right now.
One of them is in Epstein's black book.
So we're you know, we're getting close
to the center of power here.
And I think, you know, embarrassment is
not a reason to conceal all of this stuff.
[00:04:03]
We've got to get it out in the open
regardless of whose friends
might be incriminated.
Look, usually when you see
media figures saying laudable things
about bipartisanship on Capitol Hill,
it's usually because there's a corporatist
Democrat and a corporatist Republican
[00:04:23]
working together to screw you.
This is actually one of the few and rare
cases where you have a bipartisan effort
to do the right thing,
and I really do love it.
Like, it warms my heart,
even though it has to do with,
you know, these two horrific people,
Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell,
[00:04:41]
who were child predators,
did unspeakable, disgusting things.
The fact that you have, you know,
members of both sides
of the political aisle coming together,
demanding justice, demanding transparency
on behalf of the American people
is a really, really good thing.
[00:04:57]
And look,
Massie is not just talking the talk.
He's also walking the walk.
Earlier on the House floor on Tuesday,
Massie formally filed
a discharge petition.
Now, what is that?
A procedural tool to bypass GOP leadership
and force a vote on a measure
[00:05:14]
to compel the Justice Department
to publicly release the Epstein files.
So Massie and Khanna
just need at least 218 signatures.
That's half the members of the House
in order to force this vote.
And Khanna says that he's certain that all
212 Democrats will absolutely sign on,
[00:05:33]
along with at least six other Republicans.
But speaker Mike Johnson and other GOP
leaders are opposed to the vote.
I wonder why.
Why are they opposed to the vote?
They argue that it's not needed
because the House Oversight Committee,
[00:05:49]
which is, you know, increasingly appearing
to be part of this cover up,
is investigating the matter.
Nothing to see here.
They're investigating the matter.
Okay. Yeah.
Now, Donald Trump is doing everything
that he can to essentially stand
in Massey's way, including his
favorite tactic of public condemnation.
[00:06:09]
Here's a clip from the Oval Office
from just this morning.
Thomas Massey,
who is sponsoring a discharge petition
to get the House to vote on releasing
the documents, says he doesn't believe
you're implicated in these files.
But many of your friends
and donors may be.
[00:06:24]
And he says that's why the Justice
Department is redacting them
and slow walking.
The release.
Is the Justice Department
protecting any friends or donors, sir?
So this is a Democrat hoax
that never ends.
You know, it reminds me a little
of the Kennedy situation.
[00:06:41]
We gave him everything over and over
again, more and more and more.
And nobody's ever satisfied.
From what I understand, I could check,
but from what I understand, thousands
of pages of documents have been given.
But it's really a Democrat hoax
because they're trying to get people
[00:06:58]
to talk about something that's totally
irrelevant to the success that we've had
as a nation since I've been president.
Is it a Democrat hoax
when you have Republicans
wanting the release of the Epstein files?
Is it a Democrat hoax
when your base, which of course,
[00:07:14]
consists of Republican voters,
patriotic Americans, want the release
and the transparency of the Epstein files?
I don't know.
Seems like Trump is
backed into a corner here.
And it is interesting that he brought up,
you know, the Kennedy files in the context
[00:07:31]
of this weird argument that he's making
about how this is just a Democrat hoax.
It's not. And, people deserve justice.
Obviously, the victims deserve justice.
The American people deserve transparency.
And we absolutely should figure out,
without a shadow of a doubt,
[00:07:48]
whether or not Jeffrey Epstein
was engaged in blackmail operations
on behalf of intelligence organizations,
whether it's the CIA, Mossad,
or any other intelligence organization.
Now, a white House official also commented
on this discharge petition in the House,
[00:08:07]
saying that helping Thomas Massie
and Liberal Democrats
with their attention seeking,
while the DOJ is fully supporting
a more comprehensive, really comprehensive
file release effort from the Oversight
Committee would be viewed as a
very hostile act to the administration.
[00:08:24]
I really want to know
what's in those files.
And more importantly, I want to know
what exactly changed with Donald Trump,
where he was willing to push back
against certain foreign leaders
like Benjamin Netanyahu.
He was willing to stop going to war
with the Houthis, for instance.
[00:08:43]
He wasn't willing to engage
in a hot war with Iran.
And then something happened.
Suddenly he did a 180
and became Netanyahu's bitch.
I want to know why.
Is there something in the Epstein files
that's, You know, maybe persuading
Donald Trump to act a certain way?
I have no idea.
[00:09:00]
But it sucks to even have these questions
at the top of mind right now.
That brings us to an unlikely opponent
to Donald Trump.
And that opponent happens to be
Marjorie Taylor Greene,
who continues to surprise me.
I got to be honest with you.
[00:09:16]
So the congresswoman is usually a die
hard backer of President Trump's.
But today, during a press conference where
victims of Epstein spoke out, she took
a clear shot at the Trump administration.
This is the most important fight
we can wage here in Congress,
[00:09:34]
is fighting for innocent people
that never received justice.
And the women behind me
have never received justice.
And do you want to know why?
It's because Jeffrey Epstein
somehow was able to walk
among the most rich, powerful people,
not only in America but foreign countries.
[00:09:54]
The truth needs to come out
and the government holds the truth.
The the cases that are sealed
hold the truth.
Jeffrey Epstein's estate holds the truth.
The FBI, the DOJ,
and the CIA holds the truth and the truth.
[00:10:13]
We are demanding. Come out.
Hell, yes. That was amazing.
And I love the fact that she is willing
to fight on behalf of the victims,
on behalf of the American people who want
to know, despite the fact that it will
[00:10:31]
definitely attract Donald Trump's ire.
That's strength. That's being a leader.
And I got to be honest, I didn't expect it
from Marjorie Taylor Greene.
I thought she was always going to be
like a lapdog for Donald Trump.
But she has proven herself to be a fighter
specifically on this matter,
[00:10:48]
and she deserves respect for that.
Now, our members have a lot to say about
this story, including tugging the Toobin
who says Kash Patel was highlighting
some sex trafficking work he did today,
which feels like he's laughing
in our faces with the Epstein files
[00:11:04]
or lists still outstanding.
They're doing everything they can
to kind of distract or give Americans like
some red meat that might placate them.
But this has been.
Look, the thing about the Trump
administration and Trump himself
[00:11:20]
when it comes to his campaigning, there
was a lot of focus on the deep state.
And so there are a lot of theories
about how Epstein was working
on behalf of the deep state.
So when you renege on promises made
and when it's clear
[00:11:37]
that those promises are not kept, yeah,
that's going to direct a lot of ire toward
the Trump administration, which isn't
following through on what was promised.
Right.
And then on top of that, I mean, all
we've seen from the Trump administration
is one foible after another after another.
That makes it clear
they're covering something up.
[00:11:54]
So even for Americans
who didn't think that there was anything,
you know, additionally nefarious about
what was going on with Jeffrey Epstein,
you know, outside of him being
a disgusting child sex predator,
all of a sudden they're like, wait.
It certainly looks like the Trump
administration is covering something up.
[00:12:12]
What is going on here?
So Pam Bondi seems to be an idiot.
You know, first there was
the little binders stunt that she did
with conservative influencers,
and then it just got worse from there.
So it is depressing that people
like Pam Bondi have worked their way
[00:12:31]
up to the highest echelons of power
here in the US, but here we are.
I'm just really happy that Americans are
waking up to the lies, and they're calling
Trump administration officials out for it.
Every time you ring the bell below,
an angel gets his wings.
[00:12:46]
Totally not true.
But it does keep you updated
on our live shows.
