Full Transcript for The Epstein Investigation Enters a New Era Following the 2026 Midterm Elections

34 00:02:08.909 --> 00:02:11.810 they'll now have the ability to issue subpoenas and call hearings, 35 00:02:12.289 --> 00:02:15.199 and Garcia and other Democrats on the House Oversight Committee 36 00:02:15.699 --> 00:02:20.060 have vowed to escalate the committee's ongoing Epstein investigation, including 37 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.860 by holding public hearings and forcing people connected to Epstein 38 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.189 to testify under oath. That all sounds great, and I 39 00:02:28.210 --> 00:02:31.169 plan on holding them to that. I don't have any faves, 40 00:02:31.729 --> 00:02:34.990 and frankly, I don't trust any of these people, Republican 41 00:02:35.129 --> 00:02:41.379 or Democrat. Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee released a 42 00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:45.439 50-page report last month alleging Trump was an active participant 43 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.939 in Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of young women and his 44 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.780 Justice Department is doing everything they can to keep the 45 00:02:51.819 --> 00:02:55.150 American people in the dark about it, which Trump has 46 00:02:55.169 --> 00:02:58.050 long denied. calling on the DOJ to appoint a special 47 00:02:58.090 --> 00:03:02.580 counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein. And I don't 48 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:04.960 see how anyone can have a problem with that, honestly. 49 00:03:05.419 --> 00:03:06.979 And the people that do have a problem with it 50 00:03:08.219 --> 00:03:12.319 are exactly why they lost this election. Because most normal 51 00:03:12.379 --> 00:03:17.289 Americans who aren't caught up in the bullshit understand that 52 00:03:17.310 --> 00:03:22.030 the Justice Department's not capable of investigating itself. And anybody 53 00:03:22.050 --> 00:03:26.840 who's standing against a special counsel... obviously has something to hide. 54 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.060 After noting in the report there is little reason to 55 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.229 believe Trump's DOJ would actually take a step, House Judiciary 56 00:03:34.270 --> 00:03:38.289 Democrats may now launch an investigation into Trump-Epstein ties itself, 57 00:03:39.030 --> 00:03:42.789 arguing in its report Congress should use its legislative and 58 00:03:42.889 --> 00:03:46.430 oversight power to pursue justice for survivors and bring an 59 00:03:46.509 --> 00:03:52.400 end to the Trump administration's shameful, bureaucratic, and political cover-up. Bingo. 60 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.849 The difference here between the first time around you know, 61 00:03:55.889 --> 00:03:59.009 with Russiagate and all the rest of it. Well, this time, 62 00:04:00.090 --> 00:04:03.090 we actually watched the cover-up happen in real time. There 63 00:04:03.129 --> 00:04:07.930 was no backroom negotiating. We all saw what happened. And 64 00:04:07.949 --> 00:04:14.039 there's no disputing it. There's actual contemporaneous evidence and evidence 65 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.519 happening in real time that points to this being a 66 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.250 cover-up that's been initiated by the White House. And now 67 00:04:21.350 --> 00:04:24.060 all the juking and jiving, all the bullshit, all the 68 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.740 nonsense is going to come to a head. And unlike 69 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.660 the Russia stuff, there's actually evidence here that could send 70 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.269 people to prison. And that's not a hyperbole. That's a fact. 71 00:04:35.829 --> 00:04:40.250 We're not talking about some bullshit here. In addition to 72 00:04:40.290 --> 00:04:43.750 probing Trump's ties to Epstein, Democrats on the House Judiciary 73 00:04:43.790 --> 00:04:48.720 Committee have already previously launched investigations into Epstein's work with 74 00:04:48.740 --> 00:04:51.660 foreign officials and his ties to Wall Street banks, and 75 00:04:51.699 --> 00:04:54.819 how he leveraged ties to major universities to further his 76 00:04:54.860 --> 00:04:58.399 alleged abuse, which they now have more power to pursue, 77 00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:02.000 as well as probing reports of Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell 78 00:05:02.459 --> 00:05:06.240 receiving special treatment in prison. The DOJ is about to 79 00:05:06.259 --> 00:05:09.800 have some oversight. That's what that means. Now, how far 80 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.779 that's going to go is anybody's guess. Now that election 81 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.750 season's over, do you trust these politicians to do what 82 00:05:16.769 --> 00:05:19.730 they say they're going to do? I would hope so, 83 00:05:20.589 --> 00:05:24.410 but not my first rodeo. I've seen all this before, 84 00:05:24.750 --> 00:05:27.430 and I've heard all the promises, so people can save 85 00:05:27.449 --> 00:05:32.370 the rhetoric for somebody else. I'm interested in action. Democrats 86 00:05:32.410 --> 00:05:35.870 have also sponsored multiple pieces of legislation on the Epstein 87 00:05:35.910 --> 00:05:38.370 files that can now have a better chance of passing 88 00:05:38.730 --> 00:05:42.529 in a Democrat-controlled Congress, including bills that would go after 89 00:05:42.569 --> 00:05:45.689 Wall Street banks that work with Epstein and let members 90 00:05:45.740 --> 00:05:49.899 of Congress demand missing Epstein files. from the Trump administration. 91 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:56.350 That's what we need. We need a bulletproof plan to 92 00:05:56.379 --> 00:06:00.410 make them turn over those documents. And the first step 93 00:06:00.430 --> 00:06:03.930 of that was making them lose their majority. And now 94 00:06:03.949 --> 00:06:07.149 that it's gone, they're in serious jeopardy. Make no mistake. 95 00:06:08.790 --> 00:06:11.589 What will the Democrats do on Epstein after winning the House? 96 00:06:12.569 --> 00:06:16.910 Garcia told Bloomberg before the election, that the Epstein investigation 97 00:06:16.970 --> 00:06:19.120 is going to be one

of our top priorities if 98 00:06:19.149 --> 00:06:22.899 his party retook the House. As Garcia stands poised to 99 00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:27.040 chair the House Oversight Committee, buddy, you better get ready. 100 00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:29.939 Because if you don't do what you said you're going 101 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.149 to do, it's on. You're going to be on the clock. 102 00:06:34.529 --> 00:06:36.910 And that goes for every single one of these Democrats 103 00:06:37.290 --> 00:06:43.879 that made us promises. While the committee has been investigating 104 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:47.240 Epstein even under its current GOP control, the committee has 105 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:51.199 largely called in Epstein associates for voluntary interviews that do 106 00:06:51.220 --> 00:06:55.060 not carry the threat of perjury. Garcia has said a 107 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.959 majority Democratic committee would instead call more people to testify 108 00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:03.589 under oath, also telling MSNOW the committee would hold public 109 00:07:03.629 --> 00:07:07.209 hearings on Epstein rather than only ones that take place 110 00:07:07.550 --> 00:07:10.970 behind closed doors. That's great. And if they start doing that, 111 00:07:11.420 --> 00:07:13.579 I might go to D.C. and sit in on some 112 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.139 of those. Yo, your boy has had enough. I'm telling 113 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.519 you right now, I have reached my breaking point. And 114 00:07:20.540 --> 00:07:23.779 all the scumbags that talked all this shit and ran 115 00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:27.339 all that yap about how Epstein's a hoax, reap what 116 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.990 you sow. I hope you're enjoying your morning. Because I am. 117 00:07:31.750 --> 00:07:35.110 The country wants disclosure. They want release of the files 118 00:07:35.449 --> 00:07:38.910 and they want justice for the survivors, Garcia told Bloomberg. 119 00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:43.790 suggesting a Democrat-controlled committee would subpoena Attorney General Todd Blanch 120 00:07:44.129 --> 00:07:47.949 to testify about the DOJ's handling of the Epstein files. 121 00:07:48.629 --> 00:07:51.550 And boy, would that be great. If anyone besides Trump 122 00:07:51.589 --> 00:07:55.459 himself should be answering questions, it's Todd baby Billy Blanch. 123 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.480 Epstein's ties to Wall Street are also expected to be 124 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.220 a big focus of any congressional hearings under a Democratic House, 125 00:08:05.819 --> 00:08:09.199 with Garcia telling Bloomberg, that banks that did business with 126 00:08:09.300 --> 00:08:13.579 Epstein would likely be called to testify. The House Judiciary 127 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.300 Committee could also now intensify its ongoing Epstein probes, as 128 00:08:18.339 --> 00:08:21.769 getting majority control in the committee gives Democrats greater power, 129 00:08:22.269 --> 00:08:25.110 like being able to hold hearings and subpoena witnesses for 130 00:08:25.170 --> 00:08:30.050 documents and testimony. Democrats will also have greater power to 131 00:08:30.110 --> 00:08:33.929 subpoena Trump's DOJ to turn over Epstein files that remain hidden. 132 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.029 What about the Senate? Senate Democrats have also been carrying 133 00:08:39.110 --> 00:08:42.909 out their own investigation into Epstein, which could now similarly 134 00:08:42.950 --> 00:08:47.169 ramp up. Senator Ron Wyden from Oregon has long been 135 00:08:47.210 --> 00:08:51.220 investigating Epstein's finances and links to Wall Street. For instance, 136 00:08:51.580 --> 00:08:55.559 in the New York Times, reports committees in both House 137 00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.700 and Senate are prepared to hold hearings on Epstein's financial 138 00:08:58.740 --> 00:09:03.120 affairs should they switch to Democratic control. I am here 139 00:09:03.210 --> 00:09:06.230 for it. And I'll be the first one singing the 140 00:09:06.269 --> 00:09:10.820 praises of these committees if they follow through. Election results 141 00:09:10.860 --> 00:09:14.299 so far suggest Democrats will hold at least 54 seats 142 00:09:14.340 --> 00:09:16.940 in the Senate with two races still yet to be called, 143 00:09:17.659 --> 00:09:21.580 which falls short of the Senate's 60-vote threshold for passing 144 00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:24.870 most legislation, though it remains to be seen if enough 145 00:09:24.889 --> 00:09:29.309 Republicans could back Epstein investigation or charges if they're found 146 00:09:29.330 --> 00:09:32.470 to have enabled his alleged abuse. Yo, the party's over 147 00:09:32.509 --> 00:09:35.909 for Trump. There's going to be a mass exodus. Bro's 148 00:09:35.950 --> 00:09:39.690 a lame duck now. He doesn't have that aura, he 149 00:09:39.710 --> 00:09:42.429 doesn't have the mystique, and he doesn't have the big stick. 150 00:09:42.850 --> 00:09:45.840 So now, expect Republicans to start standing up to him. 151 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:49.659 It's going to become a thing, right? Everybody wants to 152 00:09:49.700 --> 00:09:57.049 get off the burning ship. Democrats and several Republicans have 153 00:09:57.090 --> 00:10:00.799 also backed the Epstein Files Transparency Act Part 2. which 154 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.980 would give State Attorney General and Epstein victims the right 155 00:10:04.019 --> 00:10:07.980 to sue the federal government for improperly withholding, concealing, or 156 00:10:08.019 --> 00:10:12.860 redacting Epstein documents, and give lawmakers the right to challenge 157 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:17.559 any Epstein-related documents the government is withholding. The bill is 158 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.220 already slated to be voted on in the House when 159 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.080 the chamber goes back in session after Election Day. After 160 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:27.639 enough lawmakers signed a discharge petition, that allows the bill 161

00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:30.120 to skip the normal committee process and go straight to 162 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.139 a vote. If it doesn't pass then, or passes the 163 00:10:33.179 --> 00:10:35.590 House but solves in the Senate, the bill could have 164 00:10:35.649 --> 00:10:38.649 a better chance of passing under Democrats in the next 165 00:10:38.690 --> 00:10:43.210 congressional term. All the Republicans would really be stepping on 166 00:10:43.230 --> 00:10:46.509 their own dicks. At this point, haven't you learned your lesson? 167 00:10:47.580 --> 00:10:50.120 haven't you realized that people are done with the shit 168 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.659 and they want transparency, especially here? And if you haven't learned, well, 169 00:10:55.659 --> 00:10:58.799 you're going to get built to ass once again. Representative 170 00:10:58.850 --> 00:11:01.730 James Comer has also introduced a bill that would allow 171 00:11:01.809 --> 00:11:05.149 victims of sexual abuse to speak out even in cases 172 00:11:05.649 --> 00:11:09.389 where they've signed a nondisclosure agreement, potentially allowing more Epstein 173 00:11:09.429 --> 00:11:14.289 victims to identify associates who aided in his abuse. The 174 00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:18.039 legislation has not yet moved forward, despite a Republican lawmaker 175 00:11:18.100 --> 00:11:21.320 introducing it, but could face better odds under a Democratic 176 00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:27.519 chamber that's more eager to take Epstein-related actions. Big number. 177 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:32.700 36 million. That's approximately how much Democrats spent on campaign 178 00:11:32.820 --> 00:11:35.440 ads related to Epstein in the midterms as the end 179 00:11:35.460 --> 00:11:39.240 of October, according to a political analysis of data from 180 00:11:39.419 --> 00:11:42.990 Ad Impact. As Democrats tried to appeal to voters using 181 00:11:43.019 --> 00:11:47.460 the Epstein files, and the party's demands for transparency. And 182 00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:49.779 it was a well-thought-out campaign. They did a good job. 183 00:11:50.860 --> 00:11:53.500 And it paid dividends. And I told you when Trump 184 00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:56.100 came out with that dumbass statement calling everybody a traitor 185 00:11:56.539 --> 00:12:01.330 that the party was over. As a political scientist, the 186 00:12:01.370 --> 00:12:03.830 writing was on the wall the second he made that post. 187 00:12:04.850 --> 00:12:08.929 And boy, did that shit come to fruition. What did 188 00:12:08.950 --> 00:12:12.409 the House Judiciary Committee's Trump report say? The House Judiciary 189 00:12:12.470 --> 00:12:16.370 Report details allegations from 11 women that suggest Trump had 190 00:12:16.409 --> 00:12:20.350 some degree of involvement with Epstein's alleged abuse, including five 191 00:12:20.389 --> 00:12:23.309 women who directly accused Trump of assaulting them in the 192 00:12:23.549 --> 00:12:27.149 80s and 90s. Only one of those allegations had not 193 00:12:27.220 --> 00:12:32.019 been made public. Journalist Julie K. Brown noted, The woman's 194 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:37.620 allegations share distinct factual similarities in how Trump and Epstein pursued, manipulated, 195 00:12:37.899 --> 00:12:41.629 and abused these women, the report claims. arguing the evidence 196 00:12:41.690 --> 00:12:45.710 provided meets the DOJ's threshold for opening a criminal investigation. 197 00:12:46.529 --> 00:12:49.970 Trump has long denied any abuse or wrongdoing in connection 198 00:12:50.269 --> 00:12:53.879 with Epstein, whom he had a years-long friendship before falling 199 00:12:54.019 --> 00:12:58.320 out in the early 2000s. The report also alleges the 200 00:12:58.340 --> 00:13:02.519 DOJ has intentionally covered up Trump's ties to Epstein, claiming 201 00:13:02.539 --> 00:13:05.830 the government withheld some documents in the Epstein files because 202 00:13:05.870 --> 00:13:10.070 Donald Trump is personally implicated in Epstein's sex trafficking operation. 203 00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:13.740 And can you imagine what's still being hidden? If this 204 00:13:13.779 --> 00:13:16.330 man was willing to burn all of his political capital 205 00:13:17.090 --> 00:13:19.289 because he didn't want to release the files, can you 206 00:13:19.330 --> 00:13:23.409 imagine what's in them? Democrats questioned whether the Trump administration 207 00:13:23.730 --> 00:13:27.129 is deliberately covering up further evidence that directly implicates Trump 208 00:13:27.429 --> 00:13:31.899 and Epstein's crimes. The DOJ has denied withholding Epstein files 209 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:35.960 for any improper reason, and the White House spokeswoman, Lauren Biss, 210 00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:40.179 told Bloomberg that Trump has been totally exonerated on anything 211 00:13:40.220 --> 00:13:43.200 related to Epstein and has done more for the Epstein 212 00:13:43.220 --> 00:13:47.500 victims than anyone before him. Yeah, that's exactly what the 213 00:13:47.580 --> 00:13:53.220 populace just told you, right? The electorate obviously agrees. Lauren Biss. 214 00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:59.429 You better start looking for a new job, lady. That 215 00:13:59.470 --> 00:14:03.809 disclosure was mandated by Congress after the DOJ initially refused 216 00:14:03.850 --> 00:14:07.980 to release the files voluntarily. So folks, listen. This is 217 00:14:08.029 --> 00:14:11.960 a gigantic disaster for the administration. There's no two ways 218 00:14:12.019 --> 00:14:16.120 about it. And the beatdown that they took was epic. 219 00:14:16.860 --> 00:14:19.850 One of the worst beatdowns in the history of American politics. 220 00:14:20.379 --> 00:14:24.110 And if that wasn't bad enough, now comes the investigation 221 00:14:24.389 --> 00:14:28.690 into their handling of the Epstein scandal and the cover-up 222 00:14:28.769 --> 00:14:33.179 on behalf of Donald Trump. So as these investigations start 223 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:36.129 to get underway... and the walls start to close in, 224 00:14:36.860 --> 00:14:42.039 my question to these administration officials is simple. Was it 225 00:14:42.090 --> 00:14:46.049 worth it? All the information that goes with this episode 226 00:14:46.509 --> 00:14:48.720 can be found in the description box.
