Uh, before we start, I, I probably have received, uh, since July the 7th, 500 questions from people about Jeffrey Epstein, about the cover-up that's occurring right now in our government about Jeffrey Epstein, and the files, and the client list, and the data.
There is a cover-up now, definitionally, inside the Trump Administration of the materials that they have related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Donald Trump is one of the closest associates of Jeffrey Epstein for decades, one of his best friends, self-admittedly, from Epstein himself, on an interview with Michael Walton, Donald Trump was, uh, his best friend.
There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of photographs of these men together.
While most of them occurred in the pre-social media saturation era, there are hundreds and hundreds of photographs of these men together.
If you don't think that they were socializing and engaging in other activities together, you are out of your mind.
But I think the most interesting part here is the gigantic chunk, the bolus of cognitive dissonance that's been required by the MAGA folks to accept and understand what's really happening here.
It was an article of faith for a decade, from 2015 until Ju- July the 7th of this year.
In the voluminous federal and state prosecutorial records of Jeffrey Epstein's actual crimes, and there were many, and they were grotesque, of child trafficking, of human trafficking, uh, of, of, of forcing women into prostitution, of sexual slavery, all of these things.
But there was this belief that there was this monstrous and horrible conspiracy where Jeffrey Epstein was the enabler of this global pedophile, child sex slavery, cannibalism, uh, black magic and witchcraft ring, centered on a pizza restaurant in DC.
Now, this was eagerly promoted by people like Jack Posobiec, by people like Dan Bongino, by people like Kash Patel, by people like Alex Jones, by members of Congress, like Anna Paulina Luna, uh, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, and many, many, many, many, many, many other significant figures in the MAGA scamfluencer sphere.
This, this belief that Epstein was the Rosetta Stone of evil, that they would open these files and it would destroy, forever, the Democratic Party.
Now, the Trump Administration were in a position, over and over again, to say, "The Epstein files, the Epstein files," as a political weapon against Hillary Clinton, against Joe Biden, against many, many Democrats.
Those folks are having a bad week, because suddenly the administration is covering up the Epstein files, and there's no other word for it.
Pam Bondi just weeks ago said, "I have the Epstein client list sitting on my desk." Now, they're trying to redact history.
Caroline Levin's trying to retcon the whole thing, "Oh, no, no, that was just the Epstein matter on her desk." She said the words "client list." Does there exist a, a list of Jeffrey Epstein's m- the men, a- and women I suppose, who Jeffrey Epstein allowed access to the trafficked women and the sexually enslaved women that he, he controlled? Yes.
And now you'll never have that image out of your head, but Epstein would have had records of people who he partied with.
There would have been emails to his staff, like, "Hey, prepare the island this weekend, because so-and-so is coming.
So-and-so will sleep in bungalow number one or bungalow number four." Do I think it was a giant, carefully composed blackmail list? No.
But the interactions that exist in this data with very powerful people, some of whom are probably almost certainly Democrats, some of whom are almost certainly Republicans, all of whom, like many men in power, enjoy a kind of belief in a, uh, in a laissez-faire approach to their sexuality, and, and it's grotesque.
