So have you read The Wall Street Journal? 10 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,240 I mean not recently, but because I haven't, I don't 11 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,399 think I don't pay for the subscription. I haven't had 12 00:00:39,399 --> 00:00:42,200 a subscription to the Wall Street Journal in probably ten 13 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:47,320 years or so. But they are out with an exclusive 14 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:54,520 story Donald Trump, a poet and a doodler. Yeah, this is, 15 00:00:54,679 --> 00:00:59,520 I guess, the bombshell that everybody was waiting for. Not 16 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:06,319 really sure why. Now. For the record, I have not 17 00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:12,280 seen the doodle. I have not seen the typed out 18 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,239 poem that apparently Donald Trump wrote. I wasn't even aware 19 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,000 it was a poem until somebody said something on Twitter. 20 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,079 I saw about iambic pentameter or something, and I like that. 21 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,439 All of that stuff is beyond me. I was never 22 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:30,079 into the poetry unless you like put like a driving 23 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,439 bass and drum beat behind it, then I could remember poetry. 24 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,439 But if you didn't put it to music, I'm not 25 00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:43,760 going to remember poetry. And honestly, i'm a little I'm 26 00:01:43,879 --> 00:01:46,280 very impressed by people who are able to recite poetry, 27 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,719 because I have. It's just one of those things I 28 00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:52,159 never got into, except for the whole roses or red 29 00:01:52,239 --> 00:01:55,319 violence or blue thing that was easy enough to remember. 30 00:01:55,959 --> 00:01:58,359 But I am to believe that this is a poem, 31 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000 and this is the big scoop that the Wall Street 32 00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:05,840 Journal is now going to get sued over, probably because 33 00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:10,120 they put out a report yesterday evening. I want to 34 00:02:10,159 --> 00:02:17,319 say that Donald Trump wrote a poem with a doodle 35 00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:23,319 as part of a birthday binder or something like yeah, 36 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,120 birthday wishes to Jeffrey Epstein, which I guess at this 37 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,120 point I should start playing this every time I say 38 00:02:33,199 --> 00:02:40,039 Jeffrey Epstein. On second thought, I probab shouldn't, cause I'm 39 00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:41,479 going to be playing that a lot because I'm going 40 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,039 to say the guy's name a lot, which I'm not 41 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,439 allowed to say. Apparently I've been told by I think 42 00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:49,639 the Masad that I'm not supposed to talk about Jeffrey Epstein, 43 00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:51,759 or if I don't talk about him every single second 44 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,360 of the day, then I am part of the Jewish 45 00:02:55,439 --> 00:02:59,000 Massad conspiracy or something. I do talk about him, then 46 00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:03,520 I then I am also trying to destroy Donald Trump 47 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,000 or something or look, I'm not really sure. All I 48 00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:10,400 can tell you is what was in the report here, 49 00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:16,919 and I don't know. I don't think anybody knows what 50 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,120 the relationship was between Trump and Epstein except probably Donald Trump. 51 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,800 And a little bit of background in twenty fifteen, when 52 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,039 Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president, when he came 53 00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:36,000 down the Golden escalator, and then he began surging in 54 00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:39,560 the polls and he started winning these primaries and stuff. 55 00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:44,960 I spoke out against his candidacy. I gave all of 56 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,560 the information I could about why I did not think 57 00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:50,159 he was going to be a good president, why people 58 00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:53,800 should reject him in the Republican primaries, and I completely 59 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,759 lost that fight. Although my listening area up around Ashville, 60 00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:02,680 if you look looked at the coverage map of the 61 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:08,840 radio station, those areas in our listening area, they went 62 00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:12,879 for Ted Cruz, but Trump still carried the state. So 63 00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:18,120 what difference did that make? Right? So, one of the 64 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,759 things about Donald Trump that I talked about ten years 65 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,639 ago was that he was a bit of a and 66 00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:28,079 I don't I shouldn't even use the word because I 67 00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:32,720 don't know lothario. Is that the right word. Yeah, I 68 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,160 mean he was a ladies man, right, he he was. 69 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,720 I don't want to say womanser, but maybe I don't know. Like, 70 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,480 the guy wrote a book about sleeping with his friend's wives. 71 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,279 I mean, it wasn't about that only, but it was 72 00:04:47,319 --> 00:04:49,879 a large part of the book. He talked about how 73 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:56,199 STDs were his quote personal Vietnam. Right, the guy got around, right, 74 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,839 he he he went out with lots of women, and 75 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,199 this was known. He was the most eligible bachelor and 76 00:05:04,319 --> 00:05:07,199 even when he was married. I'm kidding, not really, But anyway, 77 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,199 the point was, like, we all knew this about Trump, 78 00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:12,079 and the left thought that they had Trump with the 79 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,279 Access Hollywood tape right when they released that right before 80 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,040 the election, and of course we knew how that turned out. 81 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,199 It did not influence the election, but it did turn 82 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,800 a lot of women in the suburbs off. They did 83 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,720 not Republican women, I should say, they did not want 84 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,639 to vote for him, and it was a lot closer 85 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,480 probably than it could have been had that tape not 86 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:40,279 come out. So all of that being said, it is 87 00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:44,360 not surprising that Donald Trump would write a letter of 88 00:05:44,439 --> 00:05:49,720 birthday wishes to a guy that Trump himself acknowledges that 89 00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:55,240 he knew. Everybody knew him. Everybody in that quote unquote 90 00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:01,160 elite environment knew Jeffrey Epstein. And they lived down the 91 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,560 street from each other, and they went against each other 92 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,480 in a bidding war or an auction war over a 93 00:06:07,519 --> 00:06:11,040 property that they both wanted. Trump did win that, by 94 00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:14,360 the way, He won that auction, and that's apparently what 95 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:19,079 soured their relationship. And all of that occurred prior to 96 00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:27,360 Epstein having an investigation opened against him. Right, So that's 97 00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:30,199 the timeline here. You got to go back twenty five 98 00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:35,040 thirty years. Epstein is, you know, making all these moves. 99 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,720 He has all these parties with people and stuff like that. 100 00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:42,560 He's got all these connections, and he turns fifty and 101 00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:49,720 his cohort, his partner in crime, Glaine Maxwell, who is 102 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,600 you know, in prison for her role in this prostitution 103 00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:59,959 ring that had absolutely no clients. Apparently she's in prison 104 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,560 in he killed himself or didn't kill himself. And nobody 105 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,439 really knows because the video has been you know, has 106 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,720 been released, but there's like two minutes missing out of 107 00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:11,639 it or whatever, So we didn't really know if he 108 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,879 killed himself. And people who know that prison, they're like, yeah, 109 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,800 unless the guy was you know, two feet tall, there's 110 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,720 no way to there's nothing to hang yourself off of. 111 00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:23,920 But who knows. I don't know, and I'm withholding judgment 112 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,959 when I rules in the Trump era is to give 113 00:07:26,959 --> 00:07:29,040 it some time. Let's see what happens. I don't have 114 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,279 to draw conclusion and draw a line in the stand 115 00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:34,240 and say this is what happened. This is obviously what happened, 116 00:07:34,279 --> 00:07:37,120 because I don't know, because it's not obvious what all happened. 117 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,000 For example, I used to think, hey, you know what 118 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,839 he may have been Epstein may have been an asset. 119 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,720 He could have been an asset in the service of 120 00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:51,240 the CIA or Israeli intelligence, the Massade. I guess I 121 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:58,120 should probably do that for Massade or any other foreign 122 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,600 intelligence service. I don't know, Oh, it's possible. But then 123 00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:05,759 I saw an interview with Mike Bens. He appeared on 124 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,199 the Liz Wheeler podcast and Mike Ben's I've cited his 125 00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:13,199 work in the past. He's a former State Department guy, 126 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,560 and he's like he's now he left the State Department 127 00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:19,639 just outraged about stuff, and he's been I think it's 128 00:08:19,639 --> 00:08:22,120 called The Gray Zone is now his podcast, and so 129 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,639 he brings I think a lot of credibility, but expertise 130 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,920 as well, even though I know that's a dirty word nowadays. 131 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,360 But he's been offering advice on like what Pam BONDI 132 00:08:32,639 --> 00:08:36,240 should specifically ask for, because if you don't know the 133 00:08:36,279 --> 00:08:40,759 way these intelligence services operate and who does what and 134 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,080 what the forms are and stuff, you're not going to 135 00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:46,440 know what to look for, right. So he's been offering that. 136 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,399 But he made a good point on the Liz Wheeler 137 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,240 podcast a couple of days ago that he said he 138 00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:55,639 doesn't believe Epstein was an asset because that word means something. 139 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:01,120 What's more likely, in Mike Benz's opinion, is that Epstein 140 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,919 was a financier. Now, how he got the money, Apparently 141 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,519 he stole a bunch of it from the Victoria's Secrets founder. 142 00:09:07,639 --> 00:09:10,480 He was managing that guy's money and stole a bunch 143 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,759 of it. Whatever, But anyway, Nobody really knows how he 144 00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:16,440 got all of his money. Nobody seems really particularly interested 145 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,360 in figuring that out, which I think is the most 146 00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:21,159 important key to all of this. If you can trace that, 147 00:09:21,159 --> 00:09:26,720 that probably would tell you a lot. But it sounds 148 00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:31,639 like he may have been a cutout for government intelligence agencies, 149 00:09:31,759 --> 00:09:34,600 not that he was in their employee. He was a 150 00:09:34,639 --> 00:09:38,879 pass through a financier. Here's a great idea. How about 151 00:09:38,919 --> 00:09:42,159 making an escape to a really special and secluded getaway 152 00:09:42,159 --> 00:09:44,639 in western North Carolina.

I mentioned I 173 00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:57,600 think Ebstein, Well I should, says I think, because I 174 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,480 don't know, but it sounds plausible. I think it is 175 00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:07,399 a legitimate theory that Jeffrey Epstein was a financier. He 176 00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:11,559 was a cutout. What does that mean? I don't I'm 177 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,200 not an expert in any of his stuff, but I 178 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,440 do play one sometimes on the radio when I'm quoting 179 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:21,039 other people and reading their stories. The cutout. The service 180 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,960 that this financier or cutout would provide is if a 181 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:31,039 country wants to do something that their political leadership doesn't 182 00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:36,360 want them to do. From an intelligence standpoint, they can 183 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,919 get together a bunch of money through a financier and 184 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,080 then that guy becomes the bagman basically, and then he 185 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,320 hands off the money to some other party that gets 186 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,360 the money to the operation that the original government did 187 00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:57,080 not want their fingerprints on. Okay. And what Mike Bens 188 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,039 said was that one of the clients, not the sex clients, 189 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:06,600 but a business client that Epstein apparently had or knew 190 00:12:06,799 --> 00:12:09,679 or something, was a guy named Kashogi. Not the guy 191 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,440 that got chopped up in the suitcase, the Saudi Arabia 192 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,799 guy in the Washington Post column. Not that guy. Some 193 00:12:15,919 --> 00:12:17,720 other guy named Kashogi. I don't know if they were 194 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,279 related or not, but that guy was apparently at the 195 00:12:22,279 --> 00:12:26,399 heart of the Iran contra affair back in the eighties 196 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,679 under President Reagan, where the CIA right sold the arms 197 00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:34,200 or sold I forget what it was all about. I 198 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,600 was in grade school, guys, I was not following politics 199 00:12:37,639 --> 00:12:43,200 in first grade, okay. But the deal involved Iran and 200 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,840 then sending the money down to the Nicaraguan rebels or 201 00:12:46,879 --> 00:12:49,960 whatever they were, and they didn't want the US didn't 202 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,279 want fingerprints on any of that stuff, which, of course 203 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,360 it eventually came out. They didn't want their fingerprints on it, 204 00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:00,600 so they used financiers. And he might be gave other 205 00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:03,679 examples of this as well. And when you have ally 206 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,039 countries that don't or that are at cross purposes, let 207 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,639 me say they don't agree with a particular operation or 208 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,120 a strategy. You know, don't you get involved in this 209 00:13:14,159 --> 00:13:17,440 thing over here other country. You know, it's a way 210 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,759 for the other country to get involved in the thing 211 00:13:19,879 --> 00:13:23,759 without having their fingerprints on it and ruining the relationship 212 00:13:23,879 --> 00:13:27,879 with their allied countries. And so if that is the case, 213 00:13:28,039 --> 00:13:29,559 and I know that's a big if. This is just 214 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,159 a theory, right, but if that is the case that 215 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,759 Epstein was playing this role, it doesn't mean he's on 216 00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:38,360 the payroll of any of these governments. I'm sure the 217 00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:42,679 intel agencies knew, like if they were vetting their bag man, 218 00:13:42,759 --> 00:13:45,840 they would know, Okay, this guy's got all these you know, 219 00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:50,759 this this perversion and all this other stuff. But it's 220 00:13:50,799 --> 00:13:54,759 not like it's not like they were running him as 221 00:13:54,799 --> 00:14:00,240 an asset or an agent. Right, But if he were, 222 00:14:00,519 --> 00:14:05,399 if it were to get out that he was doing 223 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,440 all of this work, and if any of this stuff 224 00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:11,279 is in any of the files. If they're you know, 225 00:14:11,399 --> 00:14:16,039 if they would even write this stuff down, that has 226 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:23,799 the potential to do serious damage to international relations. And 227 00:14:23,879 --> 00:14:27,600 that tells me, if that's true, that there is a 228 00:14:28,039 --> 00:14:32,720 really big incentive for the intelligence agencies to not let 229 00:14:32,759 --> 00:14:37,039 this stuff get out, right, because they don't want other 230 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,240 countries to see what they have been doing, or who 231 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,480 they've been working with, and operations they have funded and 232 00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:43,519 all of that. That is not an argument, by the way, 233 00:14:43,559 --> 00:14:46,399 to say that we shouldn't get all of this stuff released. 234 00:14:46,399 --> 00:14:49,960 I'm not arguing that, but I understand the incentive that 235 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,360 the deep state, the intelligence agencies, and politicians would have 236 00:14:55,639 --> 00:14:58,679 in saying, okay, let's put this thing to bed. Right, 237 00:15:00,159 --> 00:15:02,200 we are at a point now where I don't think 238 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,879 that's an option anymore. I think Trump tried it last 239 00:15:05,919 --> 00:15:10,399 week and part of his uh, you know, the MAGA 240 00:15:10,519 --> 00:15:13,759 influencer crowd, they're not having anything to do with that. 241 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,320 They want it all they're they're you know, they've they've 242 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,559 made this a huge issue for them over the last 243 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,120 whatever five years or so, so they wanted out. I 244 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,840 mentioned the other day, I think it was Wednesday or something, 245 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,879 maybe Tuesday when I when I did talk about Epstein 246 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,480 because people are accusing me and everybody else, you I 247 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,440 don't you talk about Epstein like I already talked about 248 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,840 him once this week and now here's twice this week. 249 00:15:42,159 --> 00:15:46,360 Or the Epstein files and all that he tried to 250 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,919 put it to rest. It wouldn't uh, that wouldn't fly 251 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,440 with the magaaland folks some of them. Others are like, okay, yeah, 252 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:58,159 let's move on. But then you saw the Democrats pounce 253 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,679 dare I say, sees upon this issue because they see 254 00:16:01,679 --> 00:16:04,080 it as a way to hurt Trump and to divide 255 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,039 the Trump base, right, so they are all in on it. 256 00:16:08,039 --> 00:16:10,159 That's why you got Democrats running around filing all of 257 00:16:10,159 --> 00:16:14,480 these resolutions and motions, you know, try to attach things 258 00:16:14,519 --> 00:16:17,159 to bills to get you know, the DOJ to release 259 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,759 all of the Epstein files. Now. I don't know if 260 00:16:20,759 --> 00:16:22,720 they are aware of what all is in the files, 261 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,159 if there are any files, I don't know. I think 262 00:16:25,159 --> 00:16:27,919 they are just looking right now. Their incentive is hurt Trump, 263 00:16:28,159 --> 00:16:31,519 divide the base, we can win back the House, issue subpoenas, 264 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,639 start impeachment proceedings like that. That's their incentives. I always 265 00:16:35,679 --> 00:16:39,080 try to look for incentives, and so that's their incentive. 266 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,879 They're going to take advantage of this because it hurts 267 00:16:40,919 --> 00:16:46,480 Trump and splits the base right. But to me, the 268 00:16:46,519 --> 00:16:51,120 real question is did Donald Trump write the poem. I'm 269 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,000 going to read you the poem and you tell me 270 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,240 if it sounds like Donald Trump at all. Okay, all right, 271 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,080 if you're listening to this show, you know I try 272 00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,799 to keep up with all sorts of current events, and 273 00:16:59,879 --> 00:17:02,000 I know you do too. And you've probably heard me 274 00:17:02,039 --> 00:17:06,240 say get your news from multiple sources. Why well, because 275 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,960 it's how you detect media bias, which is why I've 276 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,279 been so impressed with ground News.

Here's a 292 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,400 message from the WBT text line driven by Liberty Buick GMC. 293 00:18:06,559 --> 00:18:09,680 Nobody is talking about the original cases against Epstein that 294 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,920 he was found guilty of. By the way, I think 295 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,640 he is alive somewhere that we will never know about now. 296 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,759 He's hanging with Elvis. Come on, all right, So the 297 00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:25,200 Wall Street Journal out with this exclusive story. It was 298 00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:29,480 Jeffrey Epstein's fiftieth birthday and Gilain Maxwell was preparing a 299 00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:33,240 special gift to mark the occasion. She turned to Epstein's 300 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,480 family and friends, One of them was Donald Trump. Maxwell 301 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,680 collected letters from Trump and dozens of Epstein's other associates 302 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,319 for a two thousand and three birthday album, According to 303 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,960 documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. As far as 304 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,400 I know, there's no image by the way of this 305 00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:59,319 document of this letter. Pages from the leather bound album, 306 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,119 a umbled before Epstein was first arrested in two thousand 307 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,400 and six, so that was three years later. Are among 308 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:11,839 the documents examined by Justice Department officials, who then leaked 309 00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:13,400 it to the Wall Street scher Oh, I mean sorry, 310 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,000 they didn't say that, But they were examined by DOJ 311 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:22,640 officials who investigated Epstein and Maxwell years ago, according to 312 00:19:22,759 --> 00:19:27,799 people who have reviewed the pages, So that has to 313 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,799 come from the DOJ. Right. It's unclear if any of 314 00:19:31,839 --> 00:19:35,440 the pages are part of the Trump administration's recent review, 315 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,920 but it very well could have been. And if you 316 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,799 are in the administration and you're going through the documents 317 00:19:43,799 --> 00:19:48,039 and you see this letter that's in this album, maybe 318 00:19:48,079 --> 00:19:51,359 that's a good reason for you to say, Hey, we 319 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,799 shouldn't release any more of this stuff. Let's just say 320 00:19:53,839 --> 00:19:56,200 it's done. We're done, like that's it. Stop this whole thing, 321 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,599 which is the wrong approach. I think they should have 322 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,839 just put it out there, and Trump could have just 323 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,200 given an explanation like, yeah, I kne who the guy was. 324 00:20:06,559 --> 00:20:08,839 I had my assistant type this thing up, this letter 325 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:14,559 because it's tight and there are not like random capitalizations 326 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,240 all throughout the text here. In fact, it's a very 327 00:20:19,279 --> 00:20:25,200 odd thing. This what is described as a letter, but 328 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,599 I've seen people call it a poem or something. I 329 00:20:28,839 --> 00:20:31,559 don't think it's a poem. In fact, it looks like 330 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,720 it reads like a script. It literally has the first 331 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:42,440 words voiceover colon like these are stage directions with scripts, 332 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,359 so the voiceover, and it's not very long. I'm gonna 333 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:46,920 read the whole thing to you. I will do my 334 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:52,240 best to differentiate the voices here, But every single script 335 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,839 here has voiceover in front of it, and then Donald Jeffrey, 336 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:03,319 Donald Jeffrey, Donald Jeffrey, and then Trump. Which is weird 337 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,720 that he would say Trump at the end of it 338 00:21:05,839 --> 00:21:08,880 versus just Donald again. So that's odd to me. But 339 00:21:09,039 --> 00:21:12,640 maybe like you're trying to make sure that everybody knows 340 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,359 this is Trump, But throughout the script it just says 341 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:23,799 Donald every time. Okay, so here's the text voiceover. There 342 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:30,640 must be more to life than having everything Donald. Yes, 343 00:21:30,799 --> 00:21:35,440 there is, but I won't tell you what it is, Jeffrey, 344 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:42,160 nor will I since I also know what it is. Donald. 345 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:48,720 We have certain things in common, Jeffrey Jeffrey. Yes, we do, 346 00:21:48,799 --> 00:21:54,319 come to think of it, Donald Enigmas never age have 347 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:59,319 you noticed that, Jeffrey. As a matter of fact, it 348 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:04,759 was clear to me the last time I saw you Trump, 349 00:22:05,759 --> 00:22:09,319 a pal is a wonderful thing. Happy birthday, and may 350 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:16,039 every day be another wonderful secret which people are obviously 351 00:22:16,079 --> 00:22:18,799 construing in the worst possible way, that Donald Trump knew 352 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,640 Epstein's secrets. That's it. That's where it ends. Okay, So 353 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,400 the letter bearing Trump's name, which was reviewed by the 354 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:34,160 journal is Body, which I thought like, wasn't that like 355 00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:38,319 the description of all of those late night cinemax shows 356 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:43,319 or something? Okay, I don't like, was that body to you? 357 00:22:44,279 --> 00:22:48,880 I don't even know anyway, Like many of the other 358 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,799 letters that were in the album, it contained several lines 359 00:22:51,839 --> 00:22:57,880 of typewritten text, so that was typewritten. Donald Trump famously 360 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,359 user of the typewriter and such. But so that was 361 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:10,359 all typed out. And the text is inside a silhouette 362 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:16,319 like a with the use of a marker, a heavy marker, which, 363 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,440 of course you know everybody knows Donald Trump writes with 364 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,640 the sharpie all the time. And so the marker is 365 00:23:21,759 --> 00:23:26,119 used to make an outline of a woman. They claim 366 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,079 it's a naked woman. I don't know how you would 367 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,559 know it's a naked woman if it's just a sharpie 368 00:23:31,599 --> 00:23:36,720 outline right. It appears to be hand drawn with a 369 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:42,400 heavy marker. A pair of small arcs denote the woman's breasts, 370 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:48,720 and the future president's signature is a squiggly donald below 371 00:23:48,759 --> 00:23:54,400 her waist, right in that pelvic region. So he he 372 00:23:54,480 --> 00:24:01,960 wrote his name as the as hair, essentially, but we 373 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,279 don't know if that's actually true. We haven't seen it. 374 00:24:04,319 --> 00:24:07,160 All we're getting is the Wall Street Journal's description of this. 375 00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:10,160 So everybody is conjuring up their own visions of what 376 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,880 this thing must look like. Now. Trump denied this. He said, 377 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,640 this is not me. This is a fake thing. It's 378 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,200 a fake Wall Street Journal story. I never wrote a 379 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,519 picture in my life. I never wrote a picture. I 380 00:24:22,559 --> 00:24:25,559 don't know what that means. I don't draw pictures of women. 381 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,119 It's not my language, it's not my words. He told 382 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,839 the journal he was preparing to file a lawsuit if 383 00:24:31,839 --> 00:24:34,680 it published an article about this. He says, I'm going 384 00:24:34,759 --> 00:24:36,839 to sue the Wall Street Journal, just like I sued 385 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,480 everyone else. This is all from the Wall Street Journal article. 386 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,519 Allegations that Epstein had been sexually abusing girls became public 387 00:24:44,559 --> 00:24:46,880 in two thousand and six, and he was arrested that year. 388 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,839 Epstein died in twenty nineteen in jail, allegedly after he 389 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,079 was arrested a second time and charged with sex trafficking conspiracy. 390 00:24:55,319 --> 00:24:58,039 Justice Department officials did not respond to requests for comment 391 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,839 or address questions about whether the Trump paid and other pages, 392 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,000 if they album were part of the agency's recent documents review, 393 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:09,759 and the FBI has declined to comment. Another question that 394 00:25:09,839 --> 00:25:16,079 I have on the larger story, if Epstein didn't kill himself, right, 395 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,839 but he was in fact murdered to cover up the 396 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,880 whole operation, and that very well could have happened. I 397 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,799 do not know, right, So if that's but if that's 398 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,720 the theory to be tested, then what of Gilaine Maxwell? 399 00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:36,599 How do you explain the fact that she's still alive? 400 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,000 And I think like a week or so ago she 401 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,400 said she would be willing to spill the beans on 402 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,000 all of this stuff. So how come she's still alive? 403 00:25:48,039 --> 00:25:51,119 If the powerful people could get to him, how could 404 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,599 they not get to her? And maybe they are trying 405 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,759 to I don't know, right, And if she dies or 406 00:25:55,799 --> 00:26:00,519 commits suicide, then we'll have all different bunch of questionestions here. 407 00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:03,119 But it's one of the things I've never quite understood Jack. 408 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,079 I don't understand why she's in prison serving this term 409 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,799 for a crime that there are no other perpetrators like 410 00:26:10,839 --> 00:26:13,640 she ran this ring, yet there are no Johns that 411 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,400 were ever arrested. When you think she would know who 412 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:22,119 those people are? Yeah, a lot of questions, A lot 413 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:28,759 of questions. Also Trump has doodled. You know.

Visit creative video 432 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,400 dot com. I got a tweet here from Karen. It's 433 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,519 a Pete tweet. She says, out of all of the 434 00:27:35,559 --> 00:27:38,839 coverage on the Epstein boondoggle going on, yours is the 435 00:27:38,839 --> 00:27:41,079 only coverage I will pay attention to. Thank you, Karen. 436 00:27:41,319 --> 00:27:44,279 Thanks for the level headed commentary that I misrush for. 437 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,599 Tired of the extremes on both sides everyone else I 438 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,359 turn off quickly. Thank you, Karen. I appreciate that. Look. 439 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,680 I try to give you as much of this information 440 00:27:52,759 --> 00:27:54,640 as I can. I put my cards on the table, 441 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,599 tell you where my mind is on stuff, and you 442 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,200 decide for yourself. I think you guys are smart enough 443 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,599 to know you know your own opinions on things and 444 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,480 form your own opinions on things. So and I also 445 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,799 you know that's why I'm bringing this story. There are 446 00:28:08,799 --> 00:28:10,559 some people who'd be like, no, we're not going to 447 00:28:10,599 --> 00:28:15,160 talk about this because whatever reason, but you should hear 448 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,039 this stuff so this way, when somebody else comes at 449 00:28:18,079 --> 00:28:20,920 you with this story, you will have some of the 450 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,680 details right and some of the questions. And anybody that 451 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,880 tells you they know what went on with Epstein unless 452 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,440 they were like an investigator on the case, they nobody 453 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,880 really knows. Even the people like in journalism that have 454 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,279 been on this case for fifteen years, they acknowledge they 455 00:28:39,319 --> 00:28:41,880 don't know all of the stuff. Because the more you 456 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,559 start peeling away the layers of the onion, the more 457 00:28:44,599 --> 00:28:46,680 you realize there are a lot more layers to go, 458 00:28:46,759 --> 00:28:49,799 and you don't know a lot of stuff. One thing 459 00:28:49,839 --> 00:28:54,680 I think is pretty clear that Epstein was just a monster. 460 00:28:55,559 --> 00:28:58,960 Guy was just a monster and a con man, a charlatan. 461 00:29:01,039 --> 00:29:04,000 Now there are people who are coming to Trump's defense saying, 462 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,039 as the president, did you know he doesn't draw like this? 463 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,359 Hang on a second. He says, I never wrote a 464 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,799 picture in my life. I don't draw pictures of women. 465 00:29:15,599 --> 00:29:17,279 And I don't know if that's true or not. I'll 466 00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:20,160 take him at his word for it. But he does draw, 467 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,880 he has drawn, and so this is the big gotcha 468 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:28,119 that democrats are using. Because in his own book, Never 469 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,000 Give Up, there's a passage where he says, sometimes being 470 00:29:32,039 --> 00:29:34,640 a giver, which is I am a giver as well. 471 00:29:35,039 --> 00:29:37,759 Sometimes being a giver will open you up to new talents. 472 00:29:38,039 --> 00:29:41,759 Each year, I donate and autographed doodle to the Doodle 473 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,720 four Hunger auction at Tavern on the Green. It's a 474 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:49,079 restaurant in Manhattan. It's a great event and contributors have 475 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,559 included Sting, Muhammad Ali, Larry King, a whole bunch of 476 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,240 other names. He drops in there. It takes me a 477 00:29:56,279 --> 00:29:59,000 few minutes to draw something. In my case, it's usually 478 00:29:59,079 --> 00:30:03,279 a building or a skyscraper or a city scape of skyscrapers. 479 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,559 And then I signed my name. But it raises thousands 480 00:30:06,599 --> 00:30:08,680 of dollars to help the Hungary in New York through 481 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,759 the Capuchin Food Pantries Ministry. And then he talks a 482 00:30:13,799 --> 00:30:17,559 little bit about the charity event and there's an image 483 00:30:17,759 --> 00:30:23,799 the doodle for Hunger and it's it's just like buildings. 484 00:30:23,799 --> 00:30:28,559 It's a skyline, very rudimentary, like just black you know, 485 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,440 sharpie marker, with some buildings like all one line. He 486 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,880 never picks the pen up. He just goes right across 487 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,839 the page making different sized buildings and stuff. And then 488 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,279 he takes a gray pen or maybe a pencil and 489 00:30:39,319 --> 00:30:41,440 he does like a little silhouette line on some of 490 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,960 the sides of the buildings, and he makes some windows 491 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,039 here and there, and then he signs his name, which 492 00:30:46,119 --> 00:30:48,720 during the break, I just realized I never noticed this 493 00:30:48,759 --> 00:30:52,640 about his signature, his last name. He's got too many 494 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,960 he's got too many letters in there, because like he 495 00:30:57,039 --> 00:31:00,720 does the big TE thing, and then he's got like 496 00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:02,720 that would be the R. The first peak that comes 497 00:31:02,799 --> 00:31:04,359 up is the R, and then it goes down and 498 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,160 it goes up and down and up, So that's the U. 499 00:31:07,559 --> 00:31:15,599 And then it goes down and then up one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 500 00:31:16,519 --> 00:31:21,519 nine peaks after the TRU. So, okay, that's the M. 501 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,799 He's got like an extra M or two in there. 502 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,599 It's so it's Trump, I guess. Anyway, I never noticed 503 00:31:28,599 --> 00:31:31,799 that about his signature. It's the little things, people, That's 504 00:31:31,799 --> 00:31:34,240 how you crack the case. Okay, So he went on 505 00:31:34,319 --> 00:31:37,519 to truth social Trump did, and here was his statement. 506 00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:40,960 The Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch personally were warned 507 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,200 directly by President Donald J. Trump that the supposed letter 508 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,000 they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a fake 509 00:31:47,519 --> 00:31:50,240 and if they printed they will be sued mister Murdoch 510 00:31:50,279 --> 00:31:52,599 stated that he would take care of it, but obviously 511 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,880 did not have the power to do so. The editor 512 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,920 of the Wall Street Journal, Emma Tucker, was told directly 513 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,039 by Caroline Levitt and by President Trump that the letter 514 00:32:01,119 --> 00:32:04,680 was a fake, but Emma Tucker didn't want to hear that. Instead, 515 00:32:04,839 --> 00:32:08,559 they're going with a false, malicious, and defamatory story anyway. 516 00:32:08,799 --> 00:32:11,720 President Trump will be suing the Wall Street Journal, News 517 00:32:11,759 --> 00:32:15,359 Corps and mister Murdoch shortly. The press has to learn 518 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,000 to be truthful and not rely on sources that probably 519 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,279 don't even exist. President Trump has already beaten George Stephanopolis, 520 00:32:22,319 --> 00:32:26,920 slash ABC sixty minutes, slash CBS, and others, and looks 521 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,640 forward to suing and holding accountable the once grade Wall 522 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,440 Street Journal. It has truly turned out to be a 523 00:32:32,519 --> 00:32:36,799 disgusting and filthy rag that's in quotes and writing defamatory 524 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,960 lies like this shows their desperation to remain relevant. If 525 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,119 there were any truth at all on the Epstein hoax, 526 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,119 as it pertains to President Trump, this information would have 527 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,640 been revealed by Comy Brennan, Crooked Hillary, and other radical 528 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,640 left lunatics years ago. It certainly would not have sat 529 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,680 in a file waiting for Trump all caps in quotes 530 00:32:57,119 --> 00:33:00,000 to have won the three elections. This is yet an 531 00:33:00,079 --> 00:33:03,440 other example of fake news. Notice he says three elections there, 532 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,640 and I agree that if this was in the files, 533 00:33:11,079 --> 00:33:16,319 why wouldn't they have produced it within the last fifteen years? 534 00:33:17,079 --> 00:33:22,480 Why just now, of all moments, now somebody comes forward 535 00:33:22,519 --> 00:33:26,960 with this document. It's a little suss. As the kids 536 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,440 would say, suspicious gen x and above. He also had 537 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,279 another post where he said, based on the ridiculous amount 538 00:33:35,319 --> 00:33:38,680 of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney 539 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:43,200 General Pambondi to produce any and all pertinent grand jury testimony, 540 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,240 which I don't think he can do, but we'll say, 541 00:33:45,519 --> 00:33:49,440 subject to court approval. This scam perpetrated by the Democrats 542 00:33:49,519 --> 00:33:52,799 should end right now. So he sounds like he's going 543 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:57,880 to sue the Wall Street Journal in news corps, which 544 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,720 if this is false, then he should. And by the way, 545 00:34:02,839 --> 00:34:06,720 if it is false, the Wall Street Journal should identify 546 00:34:06,759 --> 00:34:11,519 publicly their source or sources, right they should burn the 547 00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:15,239 liars now. If they're not willing to do that. If 548 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,719 that ends up being the case, then you kind of 549 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,800 know where the Wall Street Journal is coming from on 550 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,599 this stuff. But I had a thought when I saw 551 00:34:23,639 --> 00:34:27,599 that he was threatening and threatening to sue the Wall 552 00:34:27,599 --> 00:34:32,079 Street Journal over this. It's a little bit outside the box, granted, Okay, 553 00:34:32,119 --> 00:34:34,599 But as long as we're just speculating on theories and such, 554 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:42,360 is it possible that this is just a way for 555 00:34:43,079 --> 00:34:47,440 News Corps and Rupert Murdoch's family or whatever their their 556 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,440 operation is this, Is it possible that this is just 557 00:34:51,519 --> 00:34:55,639 a way to make a very large donation to Donald 558 00:34:55,679 --> 00:35:02,480 Trump's presidential library without having to make a direct contribution, right, 559 00:35:02,639 --> 00:35:05,199 so you wouldn't be on the donor list, but you 560 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:09,199 would still pay out tens of millions of dollars. I mean, yes, 561 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,360 it would be through a defamation suit and all that whatever, 562 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,920 and you would have probably you know, they settle and 563 00:35:14,599 --> 00:35:17,079 they give him a bunch of money because Trump has 564 00:35:17,079 --> 00:35:19,679 said I think that the previous settlements that money is 565 00:35:19,679 --> 00:35:21,880 going to go to his presidential library. So is it 566 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,679 possible I'm just spitball in here. It is it possible 567 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,159 that they write this story just so they can make 568 00:35:30,199 --> 00:35:34,920 a donation to his library. I don't believe that's true either, 569 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,679 but it's possible. You don't know. Nobody knows it's possible. 570 00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:42,519 Ed Morrissey at hodair dot com. He called the whole 571 00:35:42,559 --> 00:35:45,159 story a big fat nothing. Berger Trump has already acknowledged 572 00:35:45,199 --> 00:35:48,239 many times that he and Epstein used to socialize together, 573 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,280 but he stopped contacting Epstein well before his first arrest 574 00:35:51,639 --> 00:35:54,119 in two thousand and seven. What would it matter if 575 00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:56,400 Trump had sent a birthday letter to him in two 576 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,760 thousand and three, four years prior. It's a fair point 577 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,920 to all right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank 578 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,920 you so much for listening.
