Republicans are doing literally everything in their power and potentially beyond their power to stifle the investigation into the Epstein files. The FBI and the DOJ couldn't even be bothered to interview the people facing incredibly serious and credible accusations. So CNN is [00:00:17] profiling, you can find all the details on cnn.com, a dozen potentially credible FBI interviews in which victims said that Epstein and Maxwell had facilitated sexual encounters between them, and Epstein's rich and powerful friends, which uh we had been told never happened. There's [00:00:35] no evidence of it. In fact, Cash Patel specifically said there is no credible information on any of this. Now, he may not remember that because of the drinking and all that, but he did say it. And this is a guy who was like, he came into his new position, the FBI ready to go. [00:00:51] I'm gonna take down the deep state and all the pedophiles. So- I have to assume he knew what he was saying when he implied that there were no other victims and there were no other accusers, uh slash setting the sarcasm aside. He was lying and they are covering up very powerful people likely tied in politically to the regime that they don't want to go down. So we're [00:01:12] going to cover a little bit of the accusations and what we do know. Now there's a lot that we don't know that's the big problem, but here's what we do know. A 15 year old victim of Jeffrey Epstein. was summoned one day to his Palm Beach mansion, she said, introduced to one of his special friends and instructed to get naked and give the mysterious bald man a massage. [00:01:30] Epstein's uh accomplice, Gile Maxwell, told her, make sure our friend has a really good time. The man then raped her, said the victim, who never learned his name. Afterwards, she received about $1,000 in cash and Maxwell suggested she'd be introduced to other Epstein associates [00:01:46] in the future. So that's absolutely horrific that it would happen to anyone is horrific that it would happen to a 15 year old is especially horrific. I say knowing that people like Megyn Kelly think that there's nothing wrong with a rich and powerful man wanting to have sex [00:02:01] with a 15 year old. I guess I'm just old fashioned. I think it's gross. Anyway, one former staffer said he observed an unnamed man on Epstein's Caribbean Island with naked girls who looked under 18. While a woman who had traveled with Epstein described how his associate Jean-Luc [00:02:16] Brunel. A French modeling agent later arrested on sex crime charges brought a really young girl to the island. She stood out as particularly young even for Pedophile Island. But those aren't worth looking into or anything or if the FBI did look into it, we can't ever know [00:02:36] what they found out. Because the actual interviews, the follow up, the agents thoughts about it, that's not being released and Todd Blanchard assures us. He is never going to release a single additional document. And I have to imagine, since that is in line with what Panbody was [00:02:52] doing, that's why he's in this position. Is because he is willing to go down on the boat of you never finding out what happened in these and other allegations. And I'll remind you, there's also the 13 year old who made allegations against Donald Trump. And so the DOJ just [00:03:07] says, the allegations were thoroughly investigated. Prosecutors at the time did not feel that the evidence was sufficient to prosecute. So- uh Yeah, that's fine. And so yeah, we don't know anything else about what happened. We don't know how serious they took it, if at all. And yeah, that's what do make of it? Well, first of all, I saw that you guys were calling Cash [00:03:27] Patel, Lush Patel now. And I think that's possibly the best MAGA nickname that I've seen to date, which is saying something, because there's been a lot. Was that you, John? That was a good one. Yeah, that was They've also suggested Crash Patel and Smash Patel, which are also good. But what a lush. I love that he's a lush Patel. Anyway, so the question is, why is CNN doing [00:03:48] better investigative work than the FBI when it comes to something as groundbreaking as the Epstein files and the whole Epstein saga and everybody who is implicated within these files? Look, I know that the FBI is a government agency and I know that that means that they [00:04:04] are beholden, at least in some respect to the bigger corporate government of this country. And I also know that CNN is corporate media, but the fact that CNN is still breaking stories like this one is frankly, it's a little bit comforting. I don't want to take too much comfort [00:04:20] in that, but I do like that they're still able to report on things like this. And they're still able to call this administration and all the agencies that work beneath the administration into question. And they're able to hold them somewhat accountable or at least tell the people [00:04:37] look, They said that they were investigating this thing and we found all this more information and they didn't do anything with it. And then even the FBI response to it was not sufficient at all. It was a little disrespectful to the American people. They know how badly the American [00:04:53] people not only want to see these files released unredacted as much as possible. uh Unredacted to where the victims are unredacted. We want the victims names hidden and not disclosed. But the American people are demanding that but also we want justice for those victims. [00:05:12] And what we're seeing is that the FBI listened to a 13 year old girl give a testimony about what it was that happened to her on that island and they said, and they just let it go. Yeah, yeah, 100%, it's disgusting. And uh it's not the only disgusting thing going on in this [00:05:29] area as I had alluded to in the intro. Republicans are once again pushing to make sure that we never really find out much of anything. So uh Democrats are now calling out James Comer saying that he is running scared. And basically what they're focusing on here is that the ongoing hearings and investigation that have been going on have changed in some significant [00:05:50] ways. And take a look at the way James Comer has been changing them. So in this new format, informal round tables, there's no opportunity to consider subpoenas. It's not like it's a serious thing or anything. No recourse for Democrats to force votes on transparency measures. [00:06:06] Why are you taking it so seriously? Perhaps worst of all, the round tables are designed to look and feel like their regular committee hearings, but don't require witnesses to speak under oath. That will effectively void the investigation of any value, giving potential witnesses an opportunity to lie before Congress without consequence. So which is one way to put it, [00:06:24] to say that you have the opportunity to lie without consequence. The other way to put it is, it's specifically saying to you, hey, We changed the rules so that you can lie. Don't even worry about it. We specifically made it so that you can lie. Come on and lie to us, but get it over with fast. I really don't wanna have to pretend to care about this for any [00:06:40] longer than I need to. That's how it feels to me at the very least. But here is some from the Democrat memo saying, oversight Republicans are avoiding hearings to block bipartisan subpoena motions they're losing. By holding round tables, Republicans are denying members their basic rights as lawmakers. Oversight requires transparency, rules and accountability. [00:06:59] Republicans are abandoning all three. Instead of holding real hearings, they're choosing forums designed to avoid scrutiny because they are losing when the facts are on the table. And again, it is not difficult, it is never difficult to figure out why they would be moving in this direction. The Republicans that still remain are there because they don't care about [00:07:19] the Epstein victims. They don't care at all and they will do what Donald Trump requires of them, which is to quash the entire thing. although we've had a nice run of not having to hear her voice, Here's Marjorie Green giving a little bit of insight into the relationship between Comer and Trump. We started moving into the obscene files and everyone remembers [00:07:38] that battle. That was the biggest battle on the planet, like the hardest thing to accomplish. Yeah. And he had his administration, the White House, telling the speaker and leader soon, so Speaker Johnson and leader soon, stop this. Do not pass any resolution. to release the [00:07:58] obscene files. He told Pam Bondi at the DOJ, no matter what you think of Pam Bondi, he flat out told her do not really set up some files. He was blocking everybody. I don't have any knowledge of him and Pam Bondi's personal conversations, but I know he was telling everyone not to [00:08:13] release the files. And his reasoning was, is people are going to get hurt is what he said. He kept saying that. People are going, he was publicly saying it's a Democrat hoax. It's a Democrat hoax. Blah, blah, he's saying all this stuff and shaming people. But behind [00:08:30] the scenes, he was telling all of us, he was telling Mike Johnson, he's telling everybody, telling Pam Bondi, people are going to get hurt. I don't know how that's not the end of it. [00:08:46] I mean, sure, the public stuff should be the end of it. Donald Trump coming out and saying over and over that it's a hoax. That's crazy, that's crazier than anything any other president has ever said in public. But then, when you hear the reports that he's like, no, I need [00:09:01] to protect my friends. That is literally what the conspiracy theory was, that they're not going to release it because they're trying to protect the Epstein class. He's saying it, he's saying it to a person who at the time that he said it to her, she was one of the biggest [00:09:16] loyalists in MAGA. She's earned all the credibility she needs to reveal conversations that she has with Donald Trump. And yet that's not the end of it. It's barely even a consideration, yes. Any other thoughts? Yeah, so MTG, she didn't say anything like you said in that interview that we didn't already know or at least suspect. But just hearing it from somebody on the inside [00:09:36] who did have some level of insider information into not just the Trump White House and the Trump inner circle, but also into Trump himself. Cuz remember, they were very, very close at a time. And she's out here now going scorched earth against him. uh As far as I know, she's [00:09:53] still a Republican. She said she's uh teetering on the edge of becoming an independent. She's not really a Democrat, which is fine. uh But she is thinking of leaving the Republican Party uh altogether over this, it seems like, right? And it just goes to show, whatever her motivations [00:10:11] are, right? I don't know her, I don't know why she's doing this now. Maybe she's just looking out for herself, but The fact that the Epstein files is something that would drive someone who was the biggest QAnon Congress person, right? It was such a big deal whenever she first got [00:10:27] elected into Congress that uh the fact that she now has seen some light, right? I don't want to say that she's like, she's seen some light, right? But she did say that the thing that moved her away from QAnon was actually being in the White House and in Congress. And [00:10:45] seeing how all these things actually work, who would have known that conspiracy theorists who primarily operate out of their own ignorance, just seeing a little bit more of the world and learning a little bit more about how things actually work would move you away from these [00:11:02] conspiratorial ways of thinking. But that said, conspiracy theorists, they lose a lot of credibility because they never have proof for the things that they're saying. Once there's proof though, then you can start looking at these things. And it seems as though a lot of what's happening [00:11:17] now is that things that have been in the shadows are starting to come out of those shadows. And Marjorie Taylor Greene, ironically, might be a big part of that going forward. She's already speaking out a lot, not just against Trump, but against the entire administration, against the people in it. We heard her talking about James Comer there. She said a lot of [00:11:35] things about Mike Johnson. So I want more of this. I think it will be good. And I said in a video in Rebel HQ, I was kind of talking about that interview with MTG. But it is interesting to think that something that these conspiracy theorists, operate in these conspiratorial [00:11:53] circles. The thing that would get them out of it is another conspiracy, maybe less of a theory at that point, once there's proof, once there's evidence.
