NYTimes Details TIGHT Friendship Between Epstein And Trump
A report by the New York Times paints the picture of the friendship between President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein as far closer than the Trump admin has previously admitted.
- 12 minutes
While President Donald Trump
has really gone out of his way
to downplay his previous relationship
with Jeffrey Epstein,
a new exposé by The New York Times really
does detail how close they actually were
before they had their big falling out.
[00:00:15]
Now, I'm curious if you're
surprised by any of this.
No, of course not.
So look, as you're going to see
in this story, Trump and Epstein
weren't casual acquaintances.
They were peas in a pod.
Now, that doesn't mean
Trump did anything illegal.
[00:00:31]
As you're going to see in the story.
But one more thing we want you to focus on
after we give you all the facts
of how close Trump and Epstein were,
is who The New York Times didn't cover
in this Epstein scandal.
Well, in this particular article,
they have covered a series
[00:00:46]
of Epstein related stories.
And some of them do have to do
with his relationship with Israel.
But this one in particular has to do
with Epstein's relationship with Trump.
And the first thing I need to get
out of the way, because it is important.
Look, the times claims
that they found absolutely no evidence
[00:01:04]
based on the evidence they have access to
that implicates Trump
in any abuse or trafficking of minors.
Okay, so let's just get
that out of the way.
That being said, there were certainly some
serious allegations against him that have
[00:01:19]
not been proven in court, but nonetheless,
we're going to go through some of them.
Now, what they did find, though, and
this is without a shadow of a doubt, is
that Trump's relationship with Epstein was
much closer than he would have us believe.
So beginning in the late 1980s,
the two men forged a bond intense enough
[00:01:37]
to leave others who knew them
with the impression that they
were each other's closest friend.
In fact, even after Epstein had a falling
out with Trump, apparently he still
had a framed image of Trump and Melania
in his home, which I think is strange.
[00:01:54]
Now, the two also talked
at least three times a week.
I mean, my best. I love my best friend.
Okay.
I would do anything for her.
And I'm not exaggerating.
I don't talk to her three times a week.
Okay.
But he would talk to Epstein
at least three times a week
[00:02:11]
during the mid to late 1990s,
according to one of Epstein's assistants
from that period, and Trump denied knowing
about Epstein's abuse of underage girls.
However, a tranche of emails
released in November indicated
that Epstein suggested otherwise.
[00:02:28]
So in a 2019 message to the journalist
Michael Wolff, Epstein wrote of Trump.
Of course he knew about the girls
as he asked Ghislaine to stop.
Now understand we don't have
the full context of Epstein's remarks, but
[00:02:44]
clearly he's saying that Trump was privy
to the fact that minors were involved in
some of these parties and get togethers.
Now, former model Stacey Williams
also spoke to the Times
and said the following, that basically
he thinks that, oh, hold on,
[00:03:01]
let me actually back up a little bit
because there was a notable difference
in the correspondences between Epstein
and Trump versus Epstein and others,
such as the times notes.
With other men,
Epstein might discuss tax shelters,
international affairs or neuroscience.
[00:03:18]
Right with Trump. He talked about sex.
And so former model Stacey Williams
told The Times, that, quote,
I just think it it was trophy hunting.
And in recent years,
Williams has accused Trump of groping her,
[00:03:34]
at the Trump Tower in 1993.
Trump has denied the account.
She also says, I think Jeffrey liked
that he had his, he had this Sports
Illustrated model who had this name
and that Trump was pursuing me.
And that was the other thing
that really stood out in this piece.
[00:03:50]
Like Trump and Epstein were very close.
You could tell that they were buddy buddy.
However, they were also
in constant competition with one another.
There was a lot of jealousy,
a lot of competing.
So it was like more
of a frenemies type situation.
[00:04:07]
But they were obviously close.
They were hanging out all the time.
Yeah. This is not in dispute.
Look, the only people left doubting this
are the, like, diehard, Trump heads.
Right?
And they think everything is fake news.
The only person telling the truth
is Donald Trump.
[00:04:24]
Their energy, prices went down, $10,000.
Their drug prices went down 600%.
Those are the only,
remnants left that still believe this.
I'm going to read the same quote
I've read probably 100 times on the show.
This is definitive,
Trump said publicly in 2002.
[00:04:42]
I've known Jeff for 15 years.
Terrific guy.
He's a lot of fun to be with.
It's even said that he likes
beautiful women as much as I do,
and many of them are on the younger side.
So did Donald Trump and Epstein hang out
and try to have sex with young women?
[00:04:58]
And by young I don't mean underage,
just young, overall attractive, etc.
Definitely, definitely.
If they were not underage,
would it be a problem?
Look, you could have different morality
on that, but I it is what it is, and I
really wouldn't care at all about it.
Right?
Yeah. And so did Trump go underaged?
[00:05:15]
Seems so far from what we know.
All accounts are that he didn't.
Except that one comment from Epstein
in one of the emails where he says
Trump is spending a couple hours
with Virginia Giuffre at Epstein's house.
So I don't know.
I don't know if she was underage
or over age at that time.
[00:05:32]
ET cetera. ET cetera.
But, but in terms of did Trump know
that Epstein was with young girls
doing inappropriate things?
Come on. Of course he knew.
- Yeah, of course he knew.
- I would I would bet money on that.
Now, obviously we don't know
without a shadow of a doubt, but that
[00:05:49]
email that Epstein wrote to Wolff, I think
is a really important piece of evidence.
Plus, if they're talking and hanging out
constantly throughout the week,
how do you not know
that he's trafficking underage girls?
And abusing them, by the way?
And I want to go to graphic nine because
there's one other very specific allegation
[00:06:11]
that we should know about.
So Epstein was a frequent guest
at Mar a Lago parties.
Now,
a woman who said Epstein trafficked her
in the late 1990s and early 2000
recalled attending at least a half dozen
of the parties beginning when she was
just 17 years old and modeling during
[00:06:30]
the winter fashion season in Florida.
Now, Epstein showed up at several of them
and always seemed to know about Mar
a Lago related parties and events,
and the parties were open bar
according to this woman's allegations.
[00:06:46]
No one checked IDs
and that Trump was all over them.
And then one of the women
who has never before spoken publicly
about the experience, told the times
that Epstein had coerced her
into attending for parties at his home.
Trump attended. All for, the women, said.
[00:07:03]
At two of them, she said Epstein directed
her to have sex with other male guests.
So, there's, you know,
very specific allegations being made.
Then you have these email correspondences
and while again, there's no smoking gun,
there's no hard proof or evidence
that Trump engaged
[00:07:21]
in any illegal actions with minors.
There's still a lot here that shows he
knew more than he's leading us to believe.
And he was certainly way closer to Epstein
than he wants us to know about.
[00:07:36]
So I've got more details, including the
fact that Epstein, would clown on Trump's
lack of business expertise.
Apparently, Trump called him once
because he needed he was broke
and he needed, to borrow Epstein's plane.
At least that's what Epstein
told his assistant.
[00:07:52]
And his assistant
relayed that information to the times.
Yeah.
I mean, look, it's not surprising
that they weren't discussing neuroscience,
that the only things they were discussing
were, their sex lives, because that's
all Trump thinks about, pretty much.
And how.
And Trump was constantly broke. Right.
[00:08:09]
Remember, he went bankrupt six times,
whereas Epstein was flush with cash
because he had that sweet Wexner money,
and he had tons and tons of money
being funneled to him through him
and yes, by very, very pro-Israeli forces.
[00:08:28]
So and by the way, guys, think about it.
So people need money.
People want women. And who do they go to?
They go to Epstein.
Larry Summers does,
Donald Trump does, so many others do.
And then all of a sudden, Epstein has
tremendous power over all those people.
[00:08:45]
And what does he use them for?
As we saw in the emails,
he uses it mainly to help Israel.
So that's amazing.
But I gotta say, on a lighter note here,
I'm amused at how naive I was.
I was gonna say when I was younger,
but really, it's still pretty old,
[00:09:01]
because when I was younger and I saw
these, like on TV, you see these parties
of the rich and the famous, whatever.
And it seems like there's all
these gorgeous women,
and you get rich and famous
and you're gonna get gorgeous women.
And I thought, that's because,
yeah, it makes sense.
Women are attracted to that. Whatever.
No, half the time they're paying them.
[00:09:19]
- I know that.
- Like these rich people parties.
I've got no interest in them at all. Ever.
Ever.
Like, even if it's, like, totally. Okay.
And there's nothing shady.
Like, it's just that crowd
is not appealing to me at all.
[00:09:35]
But I do want to just share one
other thing and then move on to,
some of the images that have been released
by Democrats in the House Oversight
Committee, never before seen images.
So let's move over to graphic seven here,
because there were some other allegations.
[00:09:50]
For instance, in November of 1993,
Trump's chosen pageant contestants
flew in from around the world
for a week of events at his properties
in New York and Atlantic City.
At one point, Trump's former business
partner Jill Harth said in her lawsuit
[00:10:06]
she she sued him for sexual assault,
later dropped it
and dated dated Trump, which is weird.
But anyway, Trump demanded
that she provide him with access
to a 17 year old Czech contestant.
So we don't know
whether or not she complied
[00:10:21]
and gave Trump access to a 17 year old.
And to be honest with you, just reading
into Harth's background, I don't really
find her to be, a believable person.
I'm just going to put it out there.
But nonetheless, that's what she claimed.
[00:10:37]
But so far, in terms of illegality,
I haven't seen any of that in this piece.
That's been proven.
There are allegations
that certainly would indicate,
you know, he engaged in illegality,
but they have to be proven in court.
The one other thing that I'll mention
is there was a lot of like,
[00:10:53]
gross discussion taking place,
which I think is par for the course.
I feel like you guys talk about
nasty stuff like this behind the scenes.
You tell me if I'm right or wrong.
So, one example is, you know,
Epstein would force his assistant
[00:11:09]
to listen to Trump, as he said,
some pretty gross and degrading things
about women he slept with.
Because he enjoyed watching
his assistant get uncomfortable.
So he would put Trump on the speakerphone.
And so the assistant this is graphic six
remembered one call in the mid 1990s
[00:11:25]
in which the two men discussed
how how much pubic hair a particular woman
had and whether there was enough
for Epstein to floss his teeth with.
On another, Trump told Epstein about
having sex with another woman on a pool
table, which I have no problem with.
That's totally fine.
[00:11:41]
But like, the weird pubic
hair thing is, it's not.
That's not for me. It's for other people.
Yeah.
I don't know how I got thrown
under the bus here.
But, like. Oh, you guys.
What? How what am I doing?
[00:11:56]
It's, you.
Know, the locker room talk,
if you know what I mean.
Yeah.
No. Putting kidding aside, is there
a locker room talk between guys?
Of course.
Right. Yeah.
Is it about, like, discussing pubic hair
that Clarence Thomas and Epstein
and Trump apparently talk about?
No, not to my knowledge.
[00:12:13]
But our stories exchange,
stories are exchanged.
That's normal.
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.
