WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:03.350 I hear you. I read the comments and I share 2 00:00:03.370 --> 00:00:03.950 your sentiment. 3 00:00:05.049 --> 00:00:08.269 I have to keep my foot on the neck of 4 00:00:08.330 --> 00:00:12.230 Attorney General Todd Blanch, because that's just the way things 5 00:00:12.269 --> 00:00:13.210 have to go these days. 6 00:00:13.669 --> 00:00:14.410 Isn't that the case? 7 00:00:15.130 --> 00:00:18.719 And my litigation remains the only lawsuit that has been 8 00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:21.379 brought pursuant to the Epstein Files Transparency Act. 9 00:00:22.379 --> 00:00:23.980 And because I. 10 00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:27.719 Abide by the court's orders, I have now filed a reply. 11 00:00:28.370 --> 00:00:32.130 to the latest stream of excuses from Blanche as to 12 00:00:32.170 --> 00:00:35.670 why he is protecting convicted felon Donald Trump and other 13 00:00:35.710 --> 00:00:39.159 members of the Epstein elite, as in he's withholding and 14 00:00:39.229 --> 00:00:46.100 illegally redacting files, documents, materials that are legally required to 15 00:00:46.140 --> 00:00:50.179 be produced pursuant to federal statute. And yet the top 16 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:52.640 cop in the land, the Attorney General of the United States, 17 00:00:53.020 --> 00:00:57.240 remains committed to the bit of being personal counsel to 18 00:00:57.299 --> 00:01:00.500 convicted felon, Donald Trump. Let's get into the latest. Here's 19 00:01:00.539 --> 00:01:04.640 my reply. It was just filed September 2nd, 2026. It's 20 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:09.780 entitled reply on proposed order. It's because Judge Emmett Sullivan 21 00:01:10.340 --> 00:01:14.310 ordered Blanche to file a response to the notice that 22 00:01:14.469 --> 00:01:16.370 I have covered here at Katie Fang news in a 23 00:01:16.390 --> 00:01:20.170 prior episode that told the court that Blanche was wrong 24 00:01:20.209 --> 00:01:23.370 when his counsel said that it's too hard or they 25 00:01:23.430 --> 00:01:30.170 haven't produced. redacted handwritten FBI notes pursuant to FBI 302 reports, 26 00:01:30.629 --> 00:01:33.609 and also the proposed order that dealt with the publication 27 00:01:33.730 --> 00:01:38.530 of a redaction log in the Federal Register and beyond. Now, 28 00:01:38.569 --> 00:01:42.689 my reply is succinct. It's a little bit under seven pages, 29 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.680 and it makes clear that Blanche continues to refuse to 30 00:01:46.700 --> 00:01:50.200 comply with not only the law, but with the court's orders. 31 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.180 June 25th, Judge Sullivan granted my motion for preliminary injunction, 32 00:01:55.579 --> 00:01:59.840 setting forth very specific things that Blanche was required to do. 33 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:03.719 Blanche failed to do that, thereby forcing the court to 34 00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:07.739 have to issue an order for a status hearing. I 35 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:11.199 went a few weeks ago in D.C. And for two hours, 36 00:02:11.300 --> 00:02:15.259 the lawyer for Todd Blanche, this kid named Andrew Block, 37 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.539 a lawyer for the Department of Justice, failed to give 38 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.229 reasons to the court as to why Blanche was unable 39 00:02:23.409 --> 00:02:28.270 to comply with the court's orders and directives. The arguments 40 00:02:28.310 --> 00:02:31.830 that were set forth were specious at best. They were 41 00:02:31.930 --> 00:02:35.180 unsupported by the facts and the evidence, and they sat 42 00:02:35.219 --> 00:02:40.319 there like a rank smell in that courtroom. Now, we 43 00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:45.199 have provided the notice of the several examples of redacted 44 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:48.680 handwritten notes being produced in the Epstein Files. We also 45 00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:51.909 submitted the proposed order, as was required by Judge Sullivan. 46 00:02:52.370 --> 00:02:55.430 The defendant, Todd Blanche, has now chosen to ignore the 47 00:02:55.490 --> 00:02:57.770 notice that we provided to the court and has done 48 00:02:57.830 --> 00:03:00.569 some half-assed explanation as to whether or not he's actually 49 00:03:00.590 --> 00:03:03.810 complied with a section of the law that requires the 50 00:03:03.870 --> 00:03:06.830 publication of the redaction log. But as I noted here 51 00:03:06.949 --> 00:03:10.110 on another episode at Katie Fang News, Todd Blanche is 52 00:03:10.129 --> 00:03:13.830 just a dumbass and has cited to the wrong section. Now, 53 00:03:14.669 --> 00:03:17.530 let's get into some of the details because I continue. 54 00:03:18.169 --> 00:03:22.810 to tell Judge Sullivan to order Blanche to produce the unredacted, 55 00:03:23.150 --> 00:03:27.770 handwritten FBI notes that relate to four separate interviews conducted 56 00:03:27.789 --> 00:03:30.750 by the FBI based on allegations made by a woman 57 00:03:30.819 --> 00:03:32.819 who says that when she was just 13 years old, 58 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.439 between the span of 13 and 15 years old, that 59 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:39.020 she was sexually assaulted by convicted felon Donald Trump and 60 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.800 that she was also physically battered by him and others, 61 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.469 by the way. But notably and tellingly, there is this 62 00:03:45.620 --> 00:03:50.710 insanity of trying to protect Donald Trump because why not 63 00:03:50.770 --> 00:03:54.469 produce the redacted handwritten notes to the public? And then 64 00:03:54.650 --> 00:03:57.939 why not produce the unredacted handwritten notes to Judge Sullivan, 65 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:02.520 as has been ordered by him now repeatedly? The excuses 66 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.699 provided by Blanche as to these handwritten notes are legion 67 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:07.939 and they're dumb. The first one that he did in 68 00:04:08.060 --> 00:04:13.370 writing was, oh, they are substantially similar to the FBI 69 00:04:13.370 --> 00:04:16.350 302 reports. Well, let me tell you something. And I've 70 00:04:16.370 --> 00:04:19.329 said it again. The Epstein Files doesn't provide for a, quote, 71 00:04:19.389 --> 00:04:24.629 substantially similar exception to production. Judge Sullivan's order did not 72 00:04:24.689 --> 00:04:29.540 recognize a substantially similar exception. In court, the lawyer for 73 00:04:29.579 --> 00:04:33.759 Todd Blanch says that the handwritten notes are duplicative. Again, 74 00:04:33.779 --> 00:04:37.439 there is a major material difference between something being substantially 75 00:04:37.500 --> 00:04:41.139 similar versus being duplicative. But even if they were duplicative, 76 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:42.199 there's still. 77 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.180 No exception in the Epstein Files Transparency Act. 78 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.540 That would allow Todd Blanche to withhold production of these 79 00:04:47.779 --> 00:04:53.649 handwritten FBI notes. As such, and because even the court 80 00:04:54.029 --> 00:04:57.110 pressed the lawyer for Todd Blanche during that status hearing 81 00:04:57.589 --> 00:05:02.230 to explain, you may be right that these things are duplicative. 82 00:05:02.269 --> 00:05:04.600 You may be right that these things are substantially similar, 83 00:05:04.620 --> 00:05:06.139 but the court needs to be in a position to 84 00:05:06.180 --> 00:05:08.379 say the court either agrees with the Department of Justice 85 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.860 or disagrees. In other words, we don't take your word 86 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.879 for it. We don't trust you, Department of Justice, Todd Blanche. 87 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:18.269 So you got to give the court something to be 88 00:05:18.310 --> 00:05:20.730 able to rely upon. And as we sit here today, 89 00:05:20.769 --> 00:05:25.370 September 2nd, 2026, Todd Blanche continues to refuse to comply 90 00:05:25.389 --> 00:05:28.970 with the court's order to produce these unredacted notes so 91 00:05:28.990 --> 00:05:31.339 the judge can decide whether to produce them or not 92 00:05:31.500 --> 00:05:36.600 in redacted forms, redacted only to eliminate and remove any 93 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.060 potential exposure for the victims in this case. 94 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:40.420 That's it. 95 00:05:41.149 --> 00:05:44.800 So in this reply, we asked Judge Sullivan to order 96 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.720 Blanche to produce the unredacted FBI handwritten notes within five 97 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:55.610 days of entry of an order. Next. We also address 98 00:05:55.810 --> 00:05:58.910 the following. The redaction log. And I spent a decent 99 00:05:58.930 --> 00:06:02.029 amount of time just a few days ago, just last week, 100 00:06:02.490 --> 00:06:05.800 talking about how there are two separate sections in the 101 00:06:05.889 --> 00:06:09.000 Epstein Files Transparency Act. One is section three that says 102 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.769 you do the summary and you give it to Congress 103 00:06:11.810 --> 00:06:14.149 and you publish it in the Federal Register. And then 104 00:06:14.170 --> 00:06:16.290 there's one that we are traveling under that we keep 105 00:06:16.350 --> 00:06:21.600 on harping on, which is Section 2, Subsection C, Subsection 2. 106 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:22.860 I'm going to put it up on the screen now 107 00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:25.639 because it's very important that we focus on this language 108 00:06:25.899 --> 00:06:28.740 because Todd Blanch cannot read basic English. 109 00:06:29.259 --> 00:06:30.939 So here's the Epstein Files Transparency Act. 110 00:06:31.019 --> 00:06:33.519 I want you to focus on Section 2, entitled Release 111 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.689 of Documents Relating to Jeffrey Epstein. And we know Subsection A, 112 00:06:37.189 --> 00:06:40.290 very broad, comprehensive, what has to be produced, We know 113 00:06:40.310 --> 00:06:43.600 Blanche has already violated this because he hasn't produced everything 114 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:48.240 that is listed here. Subsection B says these are actually 115 00:06:48.660 --> 00:06:51.620 grounds for withholding that you're not allowed to use as 116 00:06:51.660 --> 00:06:56.029 an excuse. Embarrassment, reputational harm or political sensitivity, including for 117 00:06:56.089 --> 00:06:59.110 any government official, public figure or foreign dignitary. We know 118 00:06:59.129 --> 00:07:01.910 Blanche has violated this because we know that he's withholding, 119 00:07:02.470 --> 00:07:07.069 if not redacting information. that would pose embarrassment, harm, and 120 00:07:07.089 --> 00:07:12.649 political sensitivity to, I don't know, Donald Trump and others. Well, 121 00:07:12.670 --> 00:07:16.970 let's go to section two. All redactions must be accompanied 122 00:07:17.410 --> 00:07:21.209 by a written justification published in the federal register and 123 00:07:21.230 --> 00:07:26.149 submitted to Congress. That's some plain English. All redactions must 124 00:07:26.189 --> 00:07:30.610 be accompanied by a written justification. Now, what does Todd 125 00:07:30.629 --> 00:07:33.509 Blanche say? Judge, judge, judge, judge, look what I did. 126 00:07:34.740 --> 00:07:38.519 I published this in the Federal Register, Judge. But Blanche 127 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:42.759 cites to an entirely different section. He doesn't cite to 128 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:47.759 Section 2C2. He cites to Section 3. Report to Congress. 129 00:07:47.779 --> 00:07:50.399 Within 15 days of completion of this release, the Attorney 130 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:52.540 General shall submit to the House and Senate committees on 131 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:56.899 the judiciary a report listing all categories of records released 132 00:07:57.050 --> 00:08:00.529 and withheld and a summary of redactions made, including legal basis. 133 00:08:01.589 --> 00:08:04.629 Number one, way beyond the 15 days. But number two, 134 00:08:06.110 --> 00:08:08.410 why did it say here in Section 3 that you 135 00:08:08.430 --> 00:08:10.560 have to publish it in the Federal Register? So once again, 136 00:08:11.180 --> 00:08:15.920 Todd Blanch intentionally, negligently, either way, he's horrible, is conflating 137 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:17.959 two sections. But you and I both know he can 138 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:21.879 read basic English, right? He can read basic English. He's 139 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:25.680 intentionally doing this. He's trying to pull a fast one 140 00:08:25.939 --> 00:08:28.670 on the court, which is unethical and terrible. But he's 141 00:08:28.750 --> 00:08:31.629 also trying to confuse people because unless you actually, you know, 142 00:08:32.090 --> 00:08:36.350 look at the statute, you may get understandably confused. But 143 00:08:36.730 --> 00:08:39.649 in our reply, and as we've said repeatedly, we've made 144 00:08:39.669 --> 00:08:43.169 it clear to the court, you can't snow the court. 145 00:08:43.509 --> 00:08:47.470 Court's too smart, number one. But number two, you haven't 146 00:08:47.529 --> 00:08:52.950 provided for all of the redactions. You haven't given a 147 00:08:52.970 --> 00:08:56.220 written justification. And what he has done is he's published 148 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.240 in the Federal Register a six-page letter it gave to 149 00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.259 Congress more than six months ago, and he tries to 150 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.279 say that he satisfied the redaction log, and the answer 151 00:09:03.340 --> 00:09:03.899 is no. 152 00:09:04.620 --> 00:09:05.039 He hasn't. 153 00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:11.769 And we cite to... Are you ready? Justice Scalia. The 154 00:09:11.889 --> 00:09:15.269 cardinal rule of statutory interpretation is that no provision should 155 00:09:15.289 --> 00:09:19.490 be construed to be entirely redundant. Section 2 requires an 156 00:09:19.549 --> 00:09:22.889 explanation for each individual redaction, while Section 3 requires only 157 00:09:22.950 --> 00:09:27.700 a summary of all redactions. I don't want the summary. 158 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.210 I want what the law requires the attorney general to do. 159 00:09:32.070 --> 00:09:36.269 And this is important because it forces Todd Blanche's hand 160 00:09:36.730 --> 00:09:39.509 to have to admit that he has done redactions that 161 00:09:39.570 --> 00:09:43.389 are illegal and impermissible pursuant to a federal law. And 162 00:09:43.429 --> 00:09:46.120 that's why he is fighting this tooth and nail. They 163 00:09:46.139 --> 00:09:50.559 give away the game always. Their objections, their opposition, their 164 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:53.840 efforts to delay and obfuscate and hide. They give away 165 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:57.940 the game. And they also violate the law, not to 166 00:09:57.980 --> 00:10:02.379 mention the multiple court orders from Judge Sullivan. So we've 167 00:10:02.500 --> 00:10:05.450 asked the court to order Todd Blanch to publish within 168 00:10:05.450 --> 00:10:08.690 10 days the written justification for, quote, all redactions made 169 00:10:08.789 --> 00:10:13.039 as required by the Epstein-Faust Transparency Act. One more thing, 170 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:15.799 and it's a due process point, which is where I live. 171 00:10:16.179 --> 00:10:18.779 In a courtroom, everybody gets somebody whose entire job is 172 00:10:18.830 --> 00:10:22.970 to argue for them. That's the design. Now, Medicare processes 173 00:10:23.029 --> 00:10:26.269 about 35 claims every second, over a billion a year. 174 00:10:26.490 --> 00:10:28.649 And when yours comes back denied or the bill is wrong, 175 00:10:29.049 --> 00:10:32.210 nobody inside that system has the job of arguing for you. 176 00:10:32.230 --> 00:10:36.090 A clean claim clears in about two weeks. One dispute 177 00:10:36.129 --> 00:10:38.629 and you're 60 days in on hold, up against something 178 00:10:38.669 --> 00:10:40.980 counting on you to just give up and pay it. 179 00:10:41.509 --> 00:10:44.049 For me, That's troubling. So here's what I want you 180 00:10:44.090 --> 00:10:47.570 to know about Chapter. Chapter isn't a plan. They're independent 181 00:10:47.610 --> 00:10:51.450 Medicare advisors, the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide. 182 00:10:51.830 --> 00:10:54.799 And here's the part almost nobody knows. Once you've chosen 183 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:59.440 a plan, you get their advocate's team year-round. Wrong bills, 184 00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:03.019 prior authorization denials, appeals, they take it on and they 185 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:06.799 stay with it. Most agents don't offer that at all. Free, 186 00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:14.669 under 20 minutes, call 628-289-0726. or go to askchapter.org forward 187 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:18.799 slash fang and get Medicare support that truly advocates. 188 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:19.620 On your behalf. 189 00:11:21.340 --> 00:11:25.580 And finally, as usual, Todd Blanch is begging the court 190 00:11:25.980 --> 00:11:28.580 for a stay. Todd Blanch is begging the court for 191 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:30.840 more time because he wants to be able to figure 192 00:11:30.899 --> 00:11:35.379 out if he can appeal. Now remember, for months he's 193 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.669 been like, I don't know if I can appeal because 194 00:11:37.730 --> 00:11:40.379 the preliminary injunction hasn't been granted. But then just a 195 00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:42.779 few weeks ago, he's like, I'm filing a protective notice 196 00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:45.740 of appeal because, as I said, he's thinking, I got 197 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.740 a 50-50 chance of getting this appeal right. Never actually 198 00:11:48.860 --> 00:11:51.500 filed the appeal right, just did a notice of appeal. 199 00:11:52.250 --> 00:11:55.490 But here's the problem, too. He never actually asked for 200 00:11:56.009 --> 00:11:59.590 a stay by way of any motion. He didn't file 201 00:11:59.629 --> 00:12:04.110 a motion to stay the preliminary injunction or the bigger lawsuit, 202 00:12:04.289 --> 00:12:08.620 which continues behind the scenes. And because of that, any 203 00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.820 ask for a stay should be dismissed. But we also 204 00:12:11.860 --> 00:12:14.360 have the law on our side. In the D.C. Circuit, 205 00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:17.659 a court assesses four factors when considering a motion to 206 00:12:17.710 --> 00:12:23.789 stay an injunction pending appeal. Number one, the moving party 207 00:12:23.870 --> 00:12:26.889 is Blanche. Blanche's likelihood of success on the merits of 208 00:12:27.110 --> 00:12:30.029 his appeal. Number two, whether Blanche will suffer irreparable injury. 209 00:12:30.070 --> 00:12:33.159 Number three, whether the issuance of this stay would substantially 210 00:12:33.220 --> 00:12:37.049 harm other parties in this proceeding. and subsection 4, the 211 00:12:37.110 --> 00:12:41.049 public interest. Now look, Judge Sullivan granted my motion for 212 00:12:41.110 --> 00:12:45.610 preliminary injunction and already resolved factors 1, 3, and 4 213 00:12:45.610 --> 00:12:48.769 in my favor. So really the only one that remains, 214 00:12:49.029 --> 00:12:53.259 whether there's irreparable harm to Blanche in having to not 215 00:12:53.419 --> 00:12:57.720 get a stay that he is seeking, well, Blanche cannot... 216 00:12:58.730 --> 00:13:04.470 circumvent well-established law recognizing that administrative burdens and staffing limitations 217 00:13:04.509 --> 00:13:08.610 fail to constitute irreparable harms in this manner. In other words, 218 00:13:09.549 --> 00:13:12.120 if Blanche says, judge, I'm going to have all this 219 00:13:12.179 --> 00:13:14.240 irreparable harm because I'm going to have to go and 220 00:13:14.259 --> 00:13:17.539 I'm going to have to do all these explanations for 221 00:13:17.659 --> 00:13:22.519 all of these redactions, it's not an excuse. So that's 222 00:13:22.539 --> 00:13:25.559 why we say the Attorney General of the United States 223 00:13:25.740 --> 00:13:28.379 must spend time and effort to follow the law, but 224 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.850 that is not a harm, let alone an irreparable one. 225 00:13:35.169 --> 00:13:40.169 It is a labor of love doing this lawsuit. It 226 00:13:40.409 --> 00:13:45.309 is a lot to do this lawsuit, but I am 227 00:13:45.350 --> 00:13:48.490 determined to see this thing through. And as I said 228 00:13:48.529 --> 00:13:53.409 a few minutes ago, the lawsuit, the big lawsuit, seeks 229 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.620 the production of the entirety of the Epstein files with 230 00:13:56.659 --> 00:13:59.779 proper legal redactions. And not just the ones that have 231 00:13:59.820 --> 00:14:03.379 been published so far publicly, but the ones that Toblanch 232 00:14:03.419 --> 00:14:06.279 continues to sit on, claiming that they are what? Duplicative 233 00:14:06.299 --> 00:14:09.360 and non-responsive. We all know that we cannot trust what 234 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:13.230 Toblanch says. Haven't been able to trust what Toblanch says 235 00:14:13.259 --> 00:14:15.330 for a long time, but especially when it comes to 236 00:14:15.370 --> 00:14:18.590 the Epstein files, we most certainly can't trust him. This 237 00:14:18.649 --> 00:14:23.360 preliminary injunction has been incredibly important. It has dislodged a 238 00:14:23.460 --> 00:14:26.940 lot of information from Blanche and the Department of Justice. 239 00:14:26.980 --> 00:14:32.519 It has exposed them for their cover-up, for their concealment, 240 00:14:32.940 --> 00:14:36.399 for their violations of the law, and it has made 241 00:14:36.419 --> 00:14:39.970 them scramble to try to stay consistent on excuses, and 242 00:14:40.009 --> 00:14:45.070 they get revealed each and every step of the way. But, 243 00:14:45.870 --> 00:14:48.129 like I said, it becomes a labor of love because 244 00:14:48.169 --> 00:14:51.730 we have to continue to push it forward knowing that 245 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:53.950 we have to comply with not only rules of procedure 246 00:14:53.970 --> 00:14:56.070 in the law, but with what the judge tells us 247 00:14:56.149 --> 00:14:59.769 to do. That's the reason, pursuant to the court's order, 248 00:14:59.889 --> 00:15:03.049 we have filed this reply today. Hot off the presses, 249 00:15:03.110 --> 00:15:07.279 you have it here at Katie Faye News exclusively. Conveniently, 250 00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:11.980 my lawsuit.

Be mad, be outraged, demand accountability. 262 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:49.649 I am demanding accountability each and every day.

Straight, no chaser. So 268 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:02.720 if you're a fellow truth teller, hit that subscribe button 269 00:16:02.860 --> 00:16:05.460 and share the word about this channel so we can 270 00:16:05.500 --> 00:16:09.019 build a high information America together. As if we needed 271 00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:13.519 more evidence that the convicted felon Donald Trump White House 272 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.679 seems to be a pay to play kind of place. 273 00:16:18.529 --> 00:16:22.309 Remember this truth social announcement that came out just about 274 00:16:22.330 --> 00:16:24.149 a week ago, August 21st? 275 00:16:24.250 --> 00:16:25.330 It's on your screen. 276 00:16:26.769 --> 00:16:31.000 It's from a felon Trump. And it states today, as 277 00:16:31.059 --> 00:16:35.200 in August 21st, 2026. I concluded a deal to substantially 278 00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:37.860 lower the price of ground beef for working American families. 279 00:16:37.899 --> 00:16:40.700 And then it goes on to lie and blame former 280 00:16:40.740 --> 00:16:43.240 President Joe Biden for the prices of beef, when in 281 00:16:43.299 --> 00:16:46.759 reality it is not Biden's fault at all. But it 282 00:16:46.779 --> 00:16:49.039 then goes on to say that in the next 90 days, 283 00:16:49.070 --> 00:16:52.659 the United States will allow up to 300,000 metric tons 284 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.769 of product for ground beef to be imported with no 285 00:16:56.990 --> 00:16:59.769 out-of-quota tariff. We have a commitment that this beef will 286 00:16:59.789 --> 00:17:05.279 be sold at 25% below current market prices. Okay, again, 287 00:17:05.859 --> 00:17:08.140 rife with lies, but I guess what's not a lie 288 00:17:08.339 --> 00:17:12.200 is the date, August 21st. And the reason why I 289 00:17:12.500 --> 00:17:15.940 am spending time about that date is what happened the 290 00:17:16.029 --> 00:17:20.329 day before on August 20th? Well, funny you should ask 291 00:17:20.569 --> 00:17:25.170 because I'm here to tell you. On August 20th, a 292 00:17:25.230 --> 00:17:32.119 guy named Joesley, Joesley Batista, let's just call him JBS. 293 00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:33.359 Let's just call him that, right? 294 00:17:35.529 --> 00:17:39.230 Jules Lee Batista met with convicted felon Donald Trump on 295 00:17:39.410 --> 00:17:43.630 August 20th, the day before this announcement goes out on 296 00:17:43.670 --> 00:17:46.109 Truth Social. They meet in the Oval Office and the 297 00:17:46.150 --> 00:17:50.509 two of them discuss how additional beef supplied from Brazil 298 00:17:51.950 --> 00:17:57.710 could help if Trump dropped a 26% import tax. Boom. 299 00:17:57.750 --> 00:18:02.460 Next day, Trump posts on Truth Social. He's going to 300 00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:08.839 temporarily allow foreign beef product to be imported into the 301 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:15.069 United States and sold at a 25% discount to market prices. Now, 302 00:18:15.309 --> 00:18:20.089 of course, this news not being well received by American 303 00:18:20.529 --> 00:18:23.259 cattle ranchers and American farmers, because of course it doesn't 304 00:18:23.299 --> 00:18:25.799 help them. And in reality, it's not really going to 305 00:18:25.859 --> 00:18:30.779 help American working families. It just makes him, as in Trump, 306 00:18:31.750 --> 00:18:36.349 think that he's, you know, looking good when it's just not. 307 00:18:37.269 --> 00:18:40.069 And then the same day, on August 21st, that that 308 00:18:40.109 --> 00:18:44.180 truth social statement comes out, the Brazilian government said that 309 00:18:44.259 --> 00:18:47.980 the president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, held 310 00:18:48.019 --> 00:18:51.460 an 80-minute call with Trump touching on issues like tariffs, 311 00:18:51.660 --> 00:18:54.759 combating organized crime, and their views on current global conflicts. 312 00:18:55.259 --> 00:18:58.880 No coincidence, Brazil is the world's largest producer of beef. 313 00:19:00.779 --> 00:19:04.019 The National Cattlemen's Beef Association, the largest trade group for 314 00:19:04.059 --> 00:19:08.710 cattle ranchers, saying that government intervention, like what Trump just announced, 315 00:19:09.430 --> 00:19:12.369 will only hurt ranchers and prevent long-term stability in the 316 00:19:12.470 --> 00:19:17.619 beef industry. Now, why are we talking about Joesley Batista? 317 00:19:17.700 --> 00:19:23.839 I'm calling him the Brazilian billionaire beef bro of Donald Trump. 318 00:19:23.900 --> 00:19:29.150 The reason why we're talking about him... is because JBS, 319 00:19:29.210 --> 00:19:33.500 which is the world's largest meat packer, has played a 320 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:38.200 key role in the Trump administration in terms of policy 321 00:19:38.259 --> 00:19:40.619 and in terms of how it's approaching certain market things. 322 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:45.789 Pilgrim's Pride, which is the country's second largest chicken processor 323 00:19:45.809 --> 00:19:49.970 and is the control, the majority control of Pilgrim's Pride, 324 00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:55.859 is by this company, JBS. Pilgrim's Pride contributed $ 5 million 325 00:19:56.420 --> 00:19:59.900 to Trump's inauguration, making it the biggest donor. 326 00:20:00.339 --> 00:20:00.680 Wow. 327 00:20:02.609 --> 00:20:07.450 You know who watches that stuff? Senator Elizabeth Warren. Check 328 00:20:07.789 --> 00:20:11.589 this out from Elizabeth Warren. she sent a letter. And 329 00:20:11.630 --> 00:20:13.930 she sent this letter saying, I write with concern about 330 00:20:13.950 --> 00:20:18.089 the possibility that large corporations, including big ag, big agricultural 331 00:20:18.150 --> 00:20:21.529 companies like Pilgrim's Pride, may have donated massive amounts to 332 00:20:21.569 --> 00:20:24.450 President Trump's inauguration in an effort to influence the actions 333 00:20:24.490 --> 00:20:29.259 of his administration. Pilgrim's Pride was the largest single, was 334 00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:32.650 the single largest donor to the Trump-Vance inaugural committee. Its 335 00:20:32.650 --> 00:20:35.660 $ 5 million donation amounts to more than the contributions from 336 00:20:35.779 --> 00:20:40.970 Apple's CEO, plus Amazon, Meta, and Google combined. I am 337 00:20:41.029 --> 00:20:43.509 concerned that Pilgrim's Pride may have made its contribution to 338 00:20:43.529 --> 00:20:46.960 the inaugural fund to curry favor with the Trump administration. 339 00:20:47.259 --> 00:20:47.640 You think? 340 00:20:49.339 --> 00:20:55.759 I mean, clearly. JBS, Joesley, Batista, Pilgrim's Pride, they're playing 341 00:20:55.779 --> 00:20:57.920 the long game here, right? Let's give you the $ 5 342 00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:00.799 million at the inauguration, and then let's kind of see 343 00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:09.910 what comes out along the way. Okay. So, right now, interestingly... 344 00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:15.769 the Justice Department in the Trump administration is actually investigating beef. 345 00:21:17.410 --> 00:21:19.910 The Justice Department disclosing in April of this year that 346 00:21:19.930 --> 00:21:26.289 they're investigating beef companies because Trump blamed majority foreign-owned meatpackers. Now, 347 00:21:26.309 --> 00:21:32.970 this is back in April, right? Blamed them for the 348 00:21:33.019 --> 00:21:36.019 problems that we're having with beef. But what's outrageous is 349 00:21:37.289 --> 00:21:40.430 Then when this guy, Joesley Batista, comes along and has 350 00:21:40.450 --> 00:21:43.430 this conversation in the Oval about, oh, hey, how great 351 00:21:43.450 --> 00:21:44.779 would it be, blah, blah, blah, the next thing you 352 00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:49.660 know is what? Trump's like, oh, oh, okay. We're going 353 00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:51.140 to allow 300,000 metric tons. By the way, I did 354 00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:53.460 the math on this, or maybe my computer did. You 355 00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:58.200 know what that is? 661.4 million pounds of beef product 356 00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:01.829 is going to be entering the United States. Trump calling 357 00:22:01.849 --> 00:22:04.869 for an investigation by his Justice Department, blaming those majority 358 00:22:04.910 --> 00:22:09.109 foreign-owned meatpackers. And so now the DOJ probe is looking 359 00:22:09.170 --> 00:22:10.769 at all of the major companies that sell beef in 360 00:22:10.789 --> 00:22:16.049 the U.S., Tyson Foods, Cargill, JBS, and National Beef. JBS, 361 00:22:16.150 --> 00:22:18.930 headquartered in Brazil, as I mentioned, National Beef is owned 362 00:22:18.990 --> 00:22:21.710 by Brazil-based MBRF Global Foods. 363 00:22:21.809 --> 00:22:22.799 It's kind of amazing, huh? 364 00:22:23.190 --> 00:22:26.359 Sounds like Brazil has a monopoly on the four companies 365 00:22:26.380 --> 00:22:30.839 that are dominating the meatpacking and beef market. Now, that 366 00:22:30.859 --> 00:22:36.200 investigation apparently is going on. It's an antitrust probe. But 367 00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:44.410 here's the thing. This company, JBS, if it imports more 368 00:22:44.430 --> 00:22:47.230 of its Brazilian product into the U.S., it would give 369 00:22:47.309 --> 00:22:49.890 JBS a bigger share of the American market than it 370 00:22:49.930 --> 00:22:54.250 already has. In the first six months of this year alone, 371 00:22:54.289 --> 00:22:59.410 in 2026, Brazil sent about $ 1. 5 billion worth of beef 372 00:22:59.670 --> 00:23:01.720 to the United States, up 10% from last year, 2025. 373 00:23:01.700 --> 00:23:09.569 Last year, JBS listed its shares on the New York 374 00:23:09.609 --> 00:23:12.190 Stock Exchange, something that it had been wanting to do 375 00:23:12.250 --> 00:23:14.480 for a long time. The reason why it took it 376 00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:16.900 a while to be able to go and list on 377 00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:20.299 the New York Stock Exchange is because as far back 378 00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:28.950 as 2017, the company admitted to bribing leaders in Brazil. What? Well, 379 00:23:29.329 --> 00:23:36.089 check this out. This company, PetroBoss and JBS... which is 380 00:23:36.130 --> 00:23:39.569 that meatpacking company I've been talking about, okay? They were 381 00:23:39.609 --> 00:23:42.549 a part of a three-year investigation into graft and grift 382 00:23:42.609 --> 00:23:48.509 and corruption. And JBS telling prosecutors that JBS paid a 383 00:23:48.549 --> 00:23:51.750 total of $ 123 million in bribes to the country's politicians 384 00:23:51.869 --> 00:23:58.390 over recent years, including... to the prior president, Michael Temer, 385 00:23:59.009 --> 00:24:03.279 as well as his predecessors, Dilma Rousseff and Luiz Inácio 386 00:24:03.420 --> 00:24:05.619 Lula da Silva. Oh my God, is that the guy 387 00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:10.400 that I just mentioned is the president of Brazil? Joesley Batista, 388 00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:13.400 chairman and heir to the family-run pork and chicken empire, 389 00:24:13.460 --> 00:24:16.710 said he deposited $ 30 million in an offshore bank account 390 00:24:16.730 --> 00:24:21.009 for Ms. Rousseff in exchange for loans from Brazil's State 391 00:24:21.029 --> 00:24:23.990 Development Bank. He gave at least $ 50 million to an 392 00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:29.579 offshore account held by Mr. Da Silva. Batista also saying 393 00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:32.920 that Rousseff and Da Silva had $ 150 million located in 394 00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:36.980 offshore accounts in 2014. Now, JBS executives did a plea 395 00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:40.940 deal with Brazilian prosecutors after Brazil's Supreme Court launched a 396 00:24:41.019 --> 00:24:45.440 formal investigation into the president, former President Temer, for corruption, conspiracy, 397 00:24:45.460 --> 00:24:46.400 and obstruction of justice. 398 00:24:48.069 --> 00:24:48.950 Brazil's got some issues. 399 00:24:48.990 --> 00:24:54.529 Now, this is back in 2017. JBS... was a part 400 00:24:54.589 --> 00:24:56.769 of a probe going as far back as 2014 into 401 00:24:58.210 --> 00:25:02.750
