Speaker 1: So Trump and his Lackey's well, they continue to say
Speaker 1: that they are actually the most transparent administration in US history.
Speaker 1: Yet new reporting shows that a photo of Howard Lutnik
Speaker 1: on Epstein's Island with Jeffrey Epstein has literally been removed
Speaker 1: from the online database. Let me show you the photo
Speaker 1: that they're talking about. Yet right there Howard his kids.
Speaker 1: I happen to know the guy to the right, I
Speaker 1: won't mention his name, and of course in the dead
Speaker 1: center over there, Jeffrey fucking Epstein. All right, that photo
Speaker 1: was removed from the online database. But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Why take it down? When you must understand that once
Speaker 1: something is on the internet, it never ever disappears. So
Speaker 1: what would be the point. Now, CBS they actually authenticated
Speaker 1: that photo. Let me show you what CBS reported. This
Speaker 1: photo of Lutnik on Epstein's Island was removed from Justice
Speaker 1: Department files. The articles goes on to say that a
Speaker 1: photo released last month by the Justice Department as part
Speaker 1: of Epstein files showed Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick with convicted
Speaker 1: sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Epstein's Island in the Caribbean
Speaker 1: has been removed from the Justice Department's website. The photo,
Speaker 1: which has been authenticated by CBS News, shows Epstein, Lutnik,
Speaker 1: and three of the men standing over an oceanside cliff.
Speaker 1: The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, a nonprofit that preserves digital
Speaker 1: online content, downloaded the photo from the DOJ's website on
Speaker 1: January thirty one. It was also archived by jmail, a
Speaker 1: web interface that was created to archive Epstein content. The
Speaker 1: photo was released under file number EFTA zero one two
Speaker 1: three zero six three nine on the DOJ's website, which
Speaker 1: now points to a page not found. Let me be
Speaker 1: again and crystal clear. That's Howard with Jeffrey Epstein in front,
Speaker 1: one of Howard's friends to the right, and the other
Speaker 1: two are his kids now. Thomas Massey, a major advocate
Speaker 1: for the release of the Epstein files, he responded with this.
Speaker 1: In it, he turns around and he writes, I'm sure
Speaker 1: there's a good reason for this. DOJ needs to tell
Speaker 1: Congress who pulled this file down so we can actually
Speaker 1: ask them. Well, of course somebody needs to explain, right,
Speaker 1: what else then is being pulled down? What else is
Speaker 1: being hidden from these files? And the answer is we
Speaker 1: don't know, and every time that something like this happens,
Speaker 1: conspiracy start flying around, innuendo, right, hypotheticals. Everybody then comes
Speaker 1: up with an opinion. And what does it do? It
Speaker 1: distracts us from our ultimate goal, and that being the
Speaker 1: release of all of the files and the accountability by
Speaker 1: all those involved. Now, I want to show you one
Speaker 1: last version of photo showing that landmarks in the background
Speaker 1: reveal that it is Epstein's Island. Let me show you
Speaker 1: the photo, Okay, Epstein's Island as you can see obviously
Speaker 1: what they're pointing to. And just in case to jog
Speaker 1: your memory, this is the email from Howard Lutnik about
Speaker 1: visiting Epstein's Island on a specific day. It turns around,
Speaker 1: and this is on December nineteenth of twenty twelve. Howard wrote, Hi, Jeff,
Speaker 1: we are landing in Saint Thomas early Saturday afternoon and
Speaker 1: planning to head over to Saint Bart's Anguila on Monday
Speaker 1: at some point. Where are you located? What is exact
Speaker 1: location for my captain? Does Sunday evening for dinner sound good?
Speaker 1: I have another couple, Michael and Marcy Lairman with me
Speaker 1: on my boat, and each of us has children two sixteen's,
Speaker 1: two fourteens, a thirteen, a twelve and eleven, and a
Speaker 1: seven year old. Thanks all right, let me be crystal
Speaker 1: clear why that really is just a weird, weird fucking
Speaker 1: email to send to a pedophile, somebody who's actually convicted
Speaker 1: of pedophil of having sexual relations with children. You're now
Speaker 1: going to tell them. You're going to tell that pedophile
Speaker 1: how old your kids are? Isn't I mean, if that
Speaker 1: doesn't just strike you as just glaringly stupid in so
Speaker 1: many ways forgetting about the fact that you are now
Speaker 1: associating with a convicted pedophile, and you're now bringing eight
Speaker 1: kids to the island, and you're telling the pedophile how old.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I get so lost by the stupidity
Speaker 1: of so many in this matter. My blood pressure goes up.
Speaker 1: And Representative I'm sorry, was asked why Comer has delayed
Speaker 1: deciding if Lutnix should be subpoena to testify before Congress
Speaker 1: at all. Play the clip.
Speaker 2: There is one connection to Epstein here. There is an
Speaker 2: email in epstein file showing that Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard
Speaker 2: Lutnik invited Jeffrey Epstein to a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton
Speaker 2: either be your sense of why it has taken Chairman
Speaker 2: Comer this long to decide whether to subpoena Leutnik.
Speaker 3: First of all, I don't think Sherman Comer is very smart.
Speaker 3: I just do not think he has a strategy whatsoever.
Speaker 3: I don't think he has a plan. I think they
Speaker 3: wanted to make this big show of Hillary Clinton with
Speaker 3: no real idea of how they would take it forward.
Speaker 3: They have been reluctant about all of the subpoenas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have been, and as I write in my
Speaker 1: sub steck of Today's secrets, don't stay buried forever. For
Speaker 1: more than four decades, they hidden plain Sight foundation galas
Speaker 1: behind Davos panels, behind private jets and philanthropic pledges, behind
Speaker 1: the smug confidence that comes from believing that your wealth,
Speaker 1: your title, your proximity to power will always be enough.
Speaker 1: But here's the fact, gravity eventually wins. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: The Michael Cohen Show on our continued journey to a
Speaker 1: million subscribers. Let's get there together, So doing a favor, hit, subscribe, watch, comment,
Speaker 1: and please share, Please share this with somebody, because this stupidity,
Speaker 1: this bullshit, it has to stop. And again on a
Speaker 1: programming note, I do want to let you know that
Speaker 1: Waimea Kulpa and Political Beatdown and no longer being shown
Speaker 1: on the Midas Touching Network. Those shows they're not going away,
Speaker 1: not for a long shot. In fact, they are available
Speaker 1: right now on my YouTube channel, right here at the
Speaker 1: Michael Cohen Show or wherever you get your podcasts. Now.
Speaker 1: While there's been little accountability regarding the Epstein file, at
Speaker 1: least here in the United States, well there was more
Speaker 1: accountability all right this week overseas. Let me show you
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about in it it turns on said
Speaker 1: this is the Financial Times breaking news. The president and
Speaker 1: chief executive of the World Economic Forum Burg Brent has
Speaker 1: announced his resignation following an investigation by the Forum into
Speaker 1: his links with the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Well, he's
Speaker 1: not a disgraced financier. He's a disgraced dead pedophile. And
Speaker 1: you know what, we don't know yet exactly what Borges's
Speaker 1: relationship specifically was with Epstein. Certainly, what we do know
Speaker 1: it cost another person, at least overseas, their job. But
Speaker 1: you know, again, as I say in my sub stack
Speaker 1: of today from Les Wexner to Larry Summers, from Secretary
Speaker 1: of Commerce Howard Lutnik to Bill, from former Prince Andrew
Speaker 1: to Peter Mandelsson, from boardrooms in Manhattan to palaces in London,
Speaker 1: from Silicon Valley to Brussels. The common denominator here it's
Speaker 1: not ideology. It was access. Access to a man everyone
Speaker 1: now claims that they barely knew they barely knew him.
Speaker 1: And also this week the Clinton's Clinton's deposed here in
Speaker 1: New York at the Chapela Performing Arts Center by the
Speaker 1: Oversight Committee, and Ron Philipkowski, well, he kind of made
Speaker 1: it astute point to it. Let me show you what
Speaker 1: he said in it. He writes, it's great that Republicans
Speaker 1: on House Oversight established a precedent today for first ladies
Speaker 1: to be deposed about Epstein. Can't wait until Democrats take
Speaker 1: over the committee at the end of the year. You know,
Speaker 1: a really good point. It's something that I've been saying
Speaker 1: now for a while. When I turned around and I
Speaker 1: had heard that they were Subpoenainghillary Clinton, understand, we have
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy five days left before the midterms,
Speaker 1: after Democrats take over the House, and the vast odds
Speaker 1: are in favor of that. What do you think is
Speaker 1: going to happen? Why did they actually choose to depose
Speaker 1: I could understand choosing to depose Bill Clinton, I absolutely can.
Speaker 1: There's plenty of information about him. But Hillary, what was
Speaker 1: the point so to embarrass her? Did you think that
Speaker 1: she was going to turn around and say, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: Bill came home one day and told me that he
Speaker 1: had sex with a thirteen year old? Are they that naive?
Speaker 1: Are they that stupid? What was the point? Because right
Speaker 1: now understand that they have, As Ron Philibkowski wrote, they
Speaker 1: have set up a very dangerous precedent and rest assured
Speaker 1: at some point in time, Maligna Trump will actually be
Speaker 1: subpoenaed to testify. And I can tell you one thing
Speaker 1: for certain. She doesn't want to. Nobody wants to testify.
Speaker 1: But before speaking with President Clinton, Nancy Mace, she said
Speaker 1: that Hillary had been unhinged. Unhinged about what play the clip?
Speaker 2: What do you mean that Hillary Clinton was screening?
Speaker 4: She was our hinge. I hope that President Clinton is
Speaker 4: less unhinged today than his wife was yesterday. You'll say, well,
Speaker 4: he was.
Speaker 1: Basically instrumental for you'll find out Dody he was the
Speaker 1: ally By the way, was she unhinged? Maybe because Lauren
Speaker 1: Bobert was taking photos of her and then they were
Speaker 1: posting it in order to, I don't know, make some
Speaker 1: presumption that she had done something improper, illegal. Nobody has
Speaker 1: any idea. All we know is that they weren't supposed
Speaker 1: to do it. But Lauren bober doesn't care. And and
Speaker 1: Paulina Luna, she has no idea what she was saying. Again,
Speaker 1: everything is so general. Oh well, you'll find out, you'll
Speaker 1: find out. How about you tell us right now? But no,
Speaker 1: everything is sort of a cliffhanger these days. And while
Speaker 1: the GOP is saying that Hillary was unhinged, let me
Speaker 1: show you. Hillary revealed that she was questioned. Get a
Speaker 1: load of this, because this is really what we're all
Speaker 1: interested in. She was questioned about UFOs and Pizzagate. Play
Speaker 1: the clip.
Speaker 4: I don't know how many times I had to say
Speaker 4: I did not know Jeffrey Hepstein. I never went to
Speaker 4: his island, I never went to his homes, I never
Speaker 4: went to his offices. So it's on the record numerous times.
Speaker 4: It then got at the end quite unusual because I
Speaker 4: started being asked about UFOs, and a series of questions
Speaker 4: about Pizzagate, one of the most vile, bogus conspiracy theories
Speaker 4: that was propagated on the Internet that was serving as
Speaker 4: a basis of a member's questions to me.
Speaker 1: You know, it's really it's despicable. What was the goal
Speaker 1: of them to do this, to bring her in? I
Speaker 1: still to this moment can't figure out, you know, what
Speaker 1: we're supposed to be do, bringing people and ask them
Speaker 1: when you were there, for example, like Lutnik, did you
Speaker 1: see any teenage girls? Why were their teenage girls seeming
Speaker 1: to float in and out of these resonances, whether it
Speaker 1: was Manhattan, Palm Beach, the Bahamas, without visible parents or
Speaker 1: any supervision. No one asked the basic questions. No one
Speaker 1: paused long enough to consider that proximity to a convicted
Speaker 1: pedophile might require more than a shrug in a dinner reservation.
Speaker 1: Now Clinton, He also spoke about the fact that Republicans
Speaker 1: chose to show up at her deposition and nobody else
Speaker 1: has played the clip.
Speaker 4: I can only say that the best exchange that I
Speaker 4: had came at the very end, when, contrary to every
Speaker 4: other deposition they have taken, no Republican member asked any
Speaker 4: questions about Jeffrey Epstein or Delayanne Maxwell to anyone else
Speaker 4: they have deposed. And in fact, the Republican members didn't
Speaker 4: even show up for the depth position of Les Wexner.
Speaker 4: And when I said that, I had to point out
Speaker 4: that the only questions that any Republican member asked of
Speaker 4: any of the people they had proposed was of former
Speaker 4: Attorney General Bill Barr, when Comer asked him about the
Speaker 4: allegations in his view about Russia's involvement in my election
Speaker 4: in twenty sixteen. So at the very end of this hearing,
Speaker 4: after I made that point, I want to commend Chairman
Speaker 4: Comber for raising a series of significant questions that I
Speaker 4: responded to about the nature of the investigation and the
Speaker 4: areas that I thought should be explored. So I appreciated
Speaker 4: that I want to see the truth come out. So
Speaker 4: that was a reassuring way to end a very long,
Speaker 4: repetitive deposition.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand those, trust me. I want to end
Speaker 1: on this, which again is how I ended my substack.
Speaker 1: For decades, they relied on the assumption that no one
Speaker 1: would connect the dots. Now the dots are public and
Speaker 1: people are connecting the dots and the Consequences. Oh, it's
Speaker 1: just beginning, and as always, thanks for listening. Hey everyone,
Speaker 1: First of all, thanks for watching. I mean, we're going
Speaker 1: to be posting daily episodes with reactions and talking about politics.
