First thing we want to do is acknowledge the absolute

(00:47):
disaster that happened in Fall River with the Gabriel House fire.
Condolences to everyone that lost the loved one, and we
have to give an incredible amount of go gratitude to
the first responders Fall River Fire Department volunteers. From what

(01:07):
we know, the chief of the fire department said that
that fire was destined to kill fifty people and those
first responders did incredible. Okay, Now, this week in national politics,

(01:29):
there's been one topic that has absolutely permeated all of X, Facebook,
Instagram and YouTube, and that is a fella that just
seems to never die, and that is Jeffrey Epstein, and

(01:52):
there's been a big one eighty. There's been a shock
in the MAGA world. Has been a break, many say,
because of President Trump's one point eighty related to the
Epstein file. There was talk this week that Cash Patel,

(02:17):
the director of the FBI, Dan Bondino, the deputy director
of the FBI, that they were going to leave their
post if Pam Bondy, the Attorney General, were to remain.
There was a lot of speculation that this was the

(02:37):
biggest test so far of Trump's second administration. President Trump
has come out and he's told people to stop focusing
on Epstein. He said he supports Pam Bondy, and we're
going to unpack all of that. And some of you
that follow me, some of you that followed the race

(02:59):
against Elizabeth Warren last year, know that I brought up
Epstein to Elizabeth Warren on the debate stage and I
called her to her face the hypocrite that she is
and the person who is not a champion for women,
who only selects the women she chooses to champion. We're

(03:20):
going to unpack that. But let's first for a second,
let's talk about this Epstein case. Because President Trump i
believe is not handling this situation the way he should.
There are a lot of people that supported President Trump
who are turning and they're saying, don't insult me because

(03:44):
he has. He's called people who are focused on Epstein
stupid people. He's called Republicans who are demanding that the
Epstein files be released stupid Republicans who are only doing
the job of Democrats. He's called the whole Epstein situation

(04:06):
and the files now a hoax. And he's even called
his supporters my past supporters if they're still demanding transparency
on Epstein. So this is a big deal, and I
got news for President Trump. It's not going away now
for some of you out there that are going to

(04:26):
be all there's dat. And he was never a big
Trump guy to begin with. Fool on you, man, Shame
on you, honestly, because I have went out of my
way to be objective and to acknowledge the many good
things that President Trump is doing. The border is secure,
ninety three percent of illegal crossings are down. Trillions of
dollars are coming into America from major corporations, some manufacturing

(04:50):
like Gees, washing machines and Honda and Hondai and na
Vidia and all these other companies are saying they're pouring
in billions and billions of dollars in the United State. Eight. Okay,
I've given credit where credit is due. But President Trump
is wrong on this issue as it relates to Epstein.
And let's back up now and just remind people of

(05:13):
why this is a big deal. First of all, Epstein
was running the largest child sex trafficking operation in American history, period,
full stop, no in place in time before have we

(05:34):
seen a child sex trafficking operation of this magnitude. And
that individual Epstein had contacts to some of the most
powerful people in the world. Billionaires. Okay, he had Bill Clinton,
a former president of the United States. It's flown to

(05:56):
his island and flown on his plane dozens of times.
Bill Gates, the billionaire at his island or on his island,
dozens of times. Prince Andrew of the royal family in
the United Kingdom. Okay, on his plane on his island.

(06:18):
There are pictures of the prince with young girls. There's
a picture of President Bill Clinton. They're clothed and he's sitting,
but he's getting a massage of his shoulders by a
young girl. And so there is evidence out there that
is striking in fact Epstein. So we can rewind this

(06:41):
back for a second. In two thousand and seven, two
thousand and eight, Epstein was being prosecuted for child sex,
child rape, okay, and he got a sweetheart deal because
the former assistant you know, United States Attorney in Florida

(07:01):
who was prosecuting Epstein has said that he was told
to back off. Epstein got a slap on the risk.
You know, he had to register as a sex offender.
But the man did less than a year and he
got probation for that kind of conduct. And when this

(07:21):
guy was questioned, why would you give this guy, this
child rapist, such a sweetheart deal, he said that he
was told by the Department of Justice higher up to
leave it alone, to cut that deal with Epstein and
entered into a non prosecution agreement with Epstein that we're

(07:46):
not going to prosecute you for raping children. That's what
we're going to do, is the United States is going
to enter into agreement like that. He was told to
do that and stand down because Epstein belonged to intelligence.
Now we don't know what that means. We don't know
if that means CIA. We don't know. If that means

(08:09):
Israeli Masad intelligence, we don't know. But that's what the
person has said. And this guy who's connected to former
presidents and billionaires, what's given a slap on the risk.
And so we fast forward now and Trump is president.

(08:32):
That happened in two thousand and seven, two thousand and
eight with George W. Bush as president. Okay, Now we're
in twenty nineteen and Epstein is arrested because he's engaging
and continuing to engage in child rape. Now, when I
say child rape, I want to put in perspective for

(08:53):
you folks out there to understand what I'm getting at.
It has been told and Epstein was questioned in a
deposition by an attorney who asked him, isn't it true
that on your birthday a friend of yours sent you
three twelve year old girls for your birthday? Surprise that

(09:18):
these three twelve year old virgins, they're twelve, their children
were sent to Epstein for his sexual pleasure. That's the
kind of piece of crap that we're dealing with. That's
Jeffrey Epstein, Okay. And that's the guy who got a

(09:40):
non prosecution agreement by the United States Department of Justice,
and it was given a sweetheart deal because someone said
up above that this guy is untouchable, he is part
of intelligence. Then we fast forward. It's twenty nineteen. President
Trump is the president. His attorney gen As William Barr.

(10:01):
Epstein is arrested and he is in New York in
a federal penitentiary and a state penitentiary at that and
this individual ends up allegedly hanging himself. And it was
a short period of time, it was only a couple

(10:22):
of weeks. Jeffrey Epstein in the middle of July was
arrested and incarcerated, and a month later he's dead. And
so why do people believe? Only twenty three percent of
the American people when they're polled, believed that Jeffrey Epstein

(10:43):
actually offed himself, that he hung himself. Okay, that means
seventy six percent of Americans believe that this guy was
murdered because he had information. Now that's just ranked speculation.
So let's review facts. This is called The Hard Truth.
This show is called The Hard Truth. So let's review

(11:06):
some hard truth and whether or not there is evidence
that would suggest that Jeffrey Epstein didn't hang himself, didn't
commit suicide, but instead was given help to kill himself,
meaning that maybe he was murdered. Well, the first big
piece of evidence that suggests that Epstein did not hang

(11:29):
himself is the injuries to his neck. He had a
broken hyoid bone in his neck that was fractured. Okay,
that bone when you hang yourself is usually not fractured. Okay,
not when you hang yourself with a sheet. It would

(11:51):
be uncommon for that bone to be fractured. Now, when
we come back from the break, we're going to continue
to unpack this story. You listen to The Hard Truth
and I'm John. Okay, welcome back to the show. This
is the Hard Truth, and you're listening to me John Deaton,
and we are unpacking the Jeffrey Epstein. Some call it
a conspiracy theory. Some people just call it the truth. Now,

(12:14):
your highoid bone is a bone that is in your
neck that is not attached to any other bone. Now,
I've learned this because when I was a federal prosecutor,
I actually learned the difference between ligature strangulation and manual
strangulation versus hanging yourself with a sheet or even with
a rope. Your highoid bone floats in your neck. It's

(12:38):
under your jaw, above your voice box. It helps you swallow.
It's just attached with ligaments and muscle, and it's a
floating bone. And so when you hang yourself with a sheet,
usually that bone will move because it floats and it
will not fracture, especially if you're using a sheet. Okay,

(13:00):
now let alone. There's people that in that jail cell,
that's been in the very jail cell, like Michael Frances
who says that he was in that cell and that
there is no way to hang yourself from the ceiling. Basically,
they're saying Epstein used to sheet and he hung himself
from the bedpost, which is very difficult to do. Okay,

(13:22):
you get away with it. If you're like a little
person and you're like four feet, you'd have a much
easier time. Is it possible, course it is, But that
hyoid bone normally does not fracture in a hanging. It
was fractured, which is more common in manual strangulation ligature strangulation.

(13:46):
So it's not conclusive. It's just one fact, one piece
of evidence, okay, that that bone should not be fractured. Usually,
but it is. But then there were two security guards
who both of them failed to check on Jeffrey Epstein.

(14:06):
Both guards failed to do their rounds and check in
and look into each cell the way they're supposed to.
And both of those guards falsified records. Why did they
falsify records? Why did they both? Okay, well, the guards
fell asleep, they're claiming they falsified records. The hyoid bone

(14:29):
is broken, which sounds like someone may have manually strong
But we got cameras. We're talking about one of the
most secure federal penitentiaries and state penitentiaries in the country. Okay,
and so we got to just check the cameras everybody. Well,
it just so happens that not one, but both cameras

(14:53):
were malfunctioning that particular night, both of them malfunctioning. So
two guards don't do the rounds, both sleeping, allegedly, both
falsified records, a bone in the neck that shouldn't be broken,
that is broken, and both cameras just seem to not

(15:13):
be able to work. Okay, So that's evidence immediately that
makes people think that this guy was murdered. Now, what
about people close to him? His brother Mark brings out
the fact that the cells are supposed to be locked

(15:33):
in Epstein's cell was unbocked, So there again another coincidence
that his cell is unlocked. The cameras, both of them
are not working, Both guards are sleeping, His hyoid bone
is broken. As you can see, people are getting suspicious. Well,

(15:55):
his brother says that he didn't commit suicide. Well what
about his hand handle? This just sell Maxwell or her
name's just slaining. I believe Maxwell. Well she was interviewed. Now,
this is the person who is sitting twenty years in
prison because she helped Jeffrey Epstein secure young girls and

(16:17):
help rape and sexually abuse young women, including miners. She
said that there's no way his personality he would kill himself. Look,
this dude was a narcissist man. He loved himself. He
loved himself too much to offer himself. Plus you gotta
remember he got oway with it the first time. A

(16:39):
narcissist like that believes that they can beat the system.
But there's even another person involved that would suggest that
this is not okay a suicide, and that is Epstein's lawyer.
Epstein's lawyer met with Epstein the day before he allegedly
committed suicide, and lawyer said that Epstein was in a

(17:03):
very upbeat mood. And the reason Epstein was so upbeat
and positive was because his lawyer had told him that
there was a chance, a good chance, that Epstein was
going to get bell. Now, remember, if the judge sets
Bell at ten million dollars, this guy can get it.

(17:25):
If he sets Bell at twenty million, this guy can
get it. If the judge sets Bell at fifty million,
Epstein's a billionaire, allegedly, is going to be able to
come up with the money. But not just that everybody.
The lawyer had told Epstein the day before he commits
suicide allegedly that the non prosecution agreement that the government

(17:51):
agreed to in two thousand and eight could apply to
these charges, these new charges. So he's told, hey, by
his lawyer, you're gonna get bail maybe, and you might
get off this again. And so less than twenty four

(18:11):
hours after that meeting with his attorney who tells him
he can get ball and that this non prosecution agreement
might get him off a second time for all of
these charges, he allegedly commits suicide. Okay, And so that
sounds very very very suspicious. But listen, Epstein couldn't have

(18:37):
done this salone, and we know that he couldn't have
done this alone. You've gotta have financing. This guy had jets,
he had this jet called the Low Leader Express, and
he had this island right that he owned, and he
would fly people on his jet to his island and
the US Virgin Islands. And so you've got to have

(19:00):
people who are financing you. So guess what. The Epstein
victims sued JP Morgan Chase, the bank, the biggest bank
in the world, and JP Morgan Chase settled for two
hundred and ninety million dollars to these Epstein victims because

(19:23):
they helped finance. But not only that, everybody, the executives
at JP Morgan Chase were participating with these young girls.
That's right, they were engaging in sex with these young girls,
including minors. Executives at JP Morgan Chase. There are emails

(19:44):
between Epstein and an executive named Jeff Staley. And you
know what. Epstein emails this Jeff Staley guy, and Staley says, hey,
say hi to snow White for me. You want to
know what Epstein responds? He responds, which princess do you want?
Next to which this disgusting piece of crap named Staley replies,

(20:11):
how about Bell from Beauty and the Beast. Now, I
want to know how young those girls were that they're
joking about pretend princesses, because as you look at Disney,
the original snow White was fourteen years old, so was
this young girl who played snow White of age. These
are questions that need to be answered. But JP Morgan

(20:33):
Chase they didn't want any part of that, so they
settled for two hundred and ninety million dollars and they
also settled with the US Virgin Islands for seventy five
million for financing this guy. Now, if you watch the debates,
you know JP Morgan Chase is a bank, the biggest
bank in the world, and Elizabeth Warren is the ranking

(20:53):
member on the Senate Banking Committee. She gets to question
the CEO of J Pete Morgan Chase many times, and
she had the CEO Jamie Diamond before her, and she
was allowed to ask this person questions. Now, how many
questions do you think that Elizabeth Warren, someone who pretends

(21:18):
to be a champion for women and women's rights, how
many questions. Did she ask the CEO of JP Morgan
Chase about the settlement related to Epstein? All right, let's see,
let's see if you remember this. This is the debate
between me and Elizabeth Warren in October of last year.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
I wish like Vonne would attack inflation the way she
attacks crypto. I wish she would attack securing the border
the way she's focused on crypto. You know, she's so
focused on crypto. She had the CEO of JP Morgan
Chase available for questioning, and they had financed the largest
child sex trafficking operation and history with Jeffrey Epstein. And

(21:59):
you know Sarah warned to ask a single question she
wanted to talk about crypto because she's so hyper focused.
Now I know that because I was raped as a
child for a pier to two years, I might be
a little more sensitive to those child rape victims. But
I want to ask Senator Warren, why would you not
ask one question. JP Morgan Chase settled for two hundred
and ninety million dollars.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
To these rape victims.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
They had to settle with the US Virgin Islands, and
Senator Warren doesn't ask the question.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
You want to know.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Why because of former Democrat presidents involved, because her donors
are involved, because people that she knows are involved. Again,
loyalty to an agenda, loyalty to a party. I come back,
I come in, and I want transparency on everything. I'd
like her to answer the question on behalf of all
those rape victims? Though I can't help it when she

(22:47):
goes to ban an entire industry that they're motivated against
her because they see a viable candidate. But listen, the
rules are already there, Senator Warren. You notice she didn't
answer the question about those rape victims.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
You know, you can't call you yourself an.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Absolute warrior for women if you only select the women
you're willing to protect.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
All right, that was the debate between me and Elizabeth Warren.
And she didn't answer the question. You know, when I
was before her and I said to John Keller, I'd
like her to answer that question on behalf of these
child rape victims? Why didn't you, Senator Warren, ask a

(23:30):
single question about this man and his company settling three
hundred million dollars for financing the largest child sex trafficking
operation in American history. And she didn't say anything, you know,
because Bill Clinton's on that list because her ex husband.
Senator Warren's ex husband's on that list. When we get back,

(23:51):
we're going to continue to unpack this Epstein situation. Listen
to the Hard Truth. Okay, welcome back to the show.
You listen to the Hard Truth. I'm John Deaton. Remember
you can reach the show at John at Hartruthshow dot com.
That's John at Hard Truthshow dot com. We're unpacking the
explosive week dealing with Jeffrey Epstein. I just played my

(24:14):
debate with Elizabeth Warren when I called her a hypocrite
to her face for not asking any questions. And listen.
Now we're gonna get to President Trump's new reaction to
the Epstein situation. But before that, we need to remember
that President Trump and many of his supporters, okay, focused

(24:39):
on Epstein quite a bit. His son, Donald Jr. Was
a huge critic. He was talking about, how does my
dad get thirty four felony convictions yet not one single
person gets prosecuted from the Epstein files and the Epstein situation.
You had many influences, Charlie Kirk, Megan Kelly, all of

(25:03):
those Tucker Carlson, all of those people, talking about Epstein,
Glenn Beck, you had Don Banjin of Dan Bongino and
Cash Bettel before they became part of the FBI, they
were out there pounding the table about this. And listen,
the fact is because of the people who were involved

(25:26):
with Epstein, they are sweeping it under the table. Okay,
a former president of the United States, Members of Congress,
let's be honest about who was involved in this situation
and who was involved with Epstein. And once President Trump
became president, I want to remind people out there. Pam Bondi,

(25:50):
the Attorney General, invited those conservative influencers to the White
House and they gave them these big white binders called
Epstein Phase one, and it was documents related to Epstein,
and they called it Phase one, and then people Pambondi
was on Fox News and was asked, what about You're

(26:13):
going to release more documents with Epstein, and she said yes,
she said, there's thousands of hours of videotape and the
list and the files are on my desk. I just
got to review them, but it takes time. As soon
as I'm done reviewing them, I'm going to redact the
names of the victims and I'm going to disclose that

(26:33):
to the public. Okay, that was all said. They did
photo shops and then they decide not to release it,
except they're going to release they say, a tape that
proves that Epstein committed suicide. And they release a tape

(26:56):
that just shows like the jail cell floor. And guess what,
there's two minutes and fifty three seconds missing that has
been purposefully edited out of what was released to the public.
And people are outraged about it. You said you werena

(27:18):
give us transparency. You said there wouldn't be no longer
a two tier system of justice. We want the truth. Okay,
that's what people want. And that's what they did. Okay,
And they promised it and they released nothing. In fact,
they released garbage. They released something that has been doctored

(27:42):
and edited. People are just sick and tired of it.
I can't tell you that much. So now I'm gonna
play you a tape, okay, and this is from Breakthrough News.
It's all over the internet, it's all over x It
is a minute and twenty eight seconds. Well, I'm gonna
let it play all the way through because I want

(28:02):
you to see what was said before. And then President
Trump's first reaction. He's given several statements. Now, I wish
President Trump would take the shovel, get it out of
his hand, because he's digging the hole deeper and deeper.
He says he doesn't want to talk, he doesn't want

(28:23):
us to focus on Epstein, doesn't want to talk about Epstein,
but he can't stop posting or talking about it. Okay,
and so check this out. I want you to listen
to this first. It starts with his son, Don Jr.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
How is that that my father could be convicted of
thirty four crimes but no one on Epstein's list has
even been brought to light? How is I'm trying to
figure out how that's possible.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Right, But.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
It's almost like they're trying to protect those pedophiles for
some reason. I can't imagine why. Right, is the FBI
protecting the greatest pederist, the largest scale peederist in human history?

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Simple because of who's on that list.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Everybody in politics has advice that's much worse than alcoholism.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
That's the way that I put it. But we release
the list, seriously, we need to release the FC list.
That is an important thing.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
The DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients. Well,
that really happened.

Speaker 5 (29:27):
It's sitting on my desk right now to review. That's
been a directive by President Trunk in.

Speaker 6 (29:33):
This case, in Epstein's case, it is incredibly disturbing. We
have flight logs, we have information, names that will come out.
I'm not ever going to let this story go because
of what I heard from a source about Bill Clinton
on a plane with Jeffrey Epstein. I'm not letting it
go ever.

Speaker 7 (29:49):
Ever, are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy's
been talked about for years? You're asking, we have Texas,
we have this, we have all of the things, and
are people still talking about this guy?

Speaker 1 (30:02):
This creep? That is unbelievable. So that is unbelievable, President
Trump says, He says, it's unbelievable that people talking about
this creep. Let's just rewind. That was the president's son,
Donald Junior talking about it. You had JD. Vance talking
about it before the election, saying JD Vance, who's now

(30:25):
Vice President of the United States, saying release the list.
You had Dan Bongino saying he would never let this go,
that he will never let up. He is now the
deputy director of the FBI. You had Cash Patel who
said that to Glenn Beck that the director of the FBI,

(30:48):
before he became the director of the FBI, had all
the lists and the information and all the director had
to do was to release it. You had Pam Bondi,
the Attorney General, you heard it, saying that was on
her desk and she was going to release it. And
then President Trump acts indignant as though there's something wrong

(31:11):
with us, and including his son and all those people,
including the sitting vice president that was focused on Epstein
and Epstein list, and he just flabbergasted, it seems. And
so it's a problem for President Trump. It's a serious
problem because now Dan Bongino, who said he would never

(31:33):
let it go, ever, he's never letting it go. You
had Cash Patil saying they're protecting pedophiles. Okay, now you
guys are in charge, and what are you saying. You're
getting on TV and you're saying, yeah, Epstein killed himself
and there's nothing there. We got to move on. Come on, people,

(31:54):
don't gaslight us. Don't be like them. You know, if
you're not going to release it, say you're not going
to release it. Don't say you're a fool or an
idiot for thinking the things that we've been talking about
here tonight. Okay, and President Trump has said more than that,
and we're going to continue. I want to play another
clip for you here. Okay, and this is President Trump.

Speaker 8 (32:20):
Miss.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
I know you've urged people to move on, but I'm curious,
why do you think your supporters in particular have been
so interested in the Epstein story. I don't so upset
about how it's been handled. I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Why they would be so interested. He's dead for a
long time.

Speaker 8 (32:37):
He was never a big factor in terms of life.
I don't understand what the interest or what the fascination is.

Speaker 9 (32:45):
I really don't. And if the credible information has been given,
don't forget we went through years of the mullerwitch hunt
and all of the different things to steal dossier which
was all fake. All that information was fake.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
But I don't know why the Jeffrey.

Speaker 9 (33:01):
Epstein case would be of interest to anybody.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
It's pretty boring stuff.

Speaker 8 (33:05):
It's sortied, but it's boring, and I don't understand why
it keeps going.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
I think really only pretty bad people.

Speaker 8 (33:14):
And fluting vac dus want to keep something like like
that going, but incredible information, let them give it. Anything
that's credible, I would say, let them have it.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Okay, Listen, he just said that pretty bad people are
the ones who are interested in this toward information. And
my message to the President would be, mister president, we're
not interested in the details. Okay, We're not interested in

(33:49):
Epstein himself. We are sick and tired of no transparency
in our government. We're sick and tired of a two
tiered justice system where the rich and the wealthy and
the connected can get away with murder, but not even
worse than murder. Is there anything worse than raping a child?

(34:13):
I can't imagine it. And to say that because people
want that transparency and they want the people that helped
Epstein held accountable, and that they want the files released,
that that somehow makes you a bad person. Listen. President
Trump's wrong in this. He's right on you know, he

(34:34):
may have been right on terras because inflation isn't up
and America is collecting money that we've never seen before
with his teriffs. He was certainly right about closing the
southern border, and like I said, ninety three percent of
illegal crossings are down. That's fantastic. He's said he's gonna

(34:57):
make America the crypto capital the world. You know that
I'm big on crypto and bitcoin. That's amazing. He's appointed
a crypto and ai Zar and David Sachs. That's fantastic.
His deregulation efforts in the business sector and the energy sector,
it's going to pay dividends to real Americans because energy prices.

(35:19):
You know, people in Massachusetts know it better than anyone. Unfortunately,
it's killing people. It's killing working people. You know, when
you have higher energy, it affects every price. Okay, and
so sorry about that. And so America suffers with those
higher energy prices. So President Trump, you know, deregulating that

(35:40):
industry is helpful. So you know, in our final twelve minutes,
when we come back from the break, I'll tell you
what I really think. You listen to the hard truth.
I'm John Deaton. Okay, welcome back to the show. You
listen to the hard truth. I'm John Detan. Remember you
can follow me on ex John E. Deaton one. You
can get food stamped Warrior and Amazon. You can contact

(36:02):
the Dalton Law Firm if you expose to asbestos, have mesothelium,
or a loved one, or you just want to listen
to me rant you can email me at John E. Daton,
you can reach me at the show at John at
Hard Truthshow dot com. So our final segment of the night,

(36:24):
we're going to continue on this Epstein situation because this
is not going away. People are not going to just
forget the way President Trump wants. The way Dan Bonngino
was okay where he said, I'm never letting this go.
That's how a lot of people feel. And President Trump,

(36:45):
it can continue to insult people and say, you know,
you're a bad person if you want this list. But
I think he's going to have to address this. And
in that last clip he did say, well, release a
credible information, but we're going to play some more because
it gets worse. And President Trump has probably had the

(37:09):
best political instincts of any politician in modern history, to
be honest with you, the man won the presidency twice,
and he won the second time after being indicted, after
being prosecuted, after being shot at and shot I mean,
this guy has shown better political instincts than anyone, Okay,

(37:32):
And so you've got to give him his due, but
he is misreading the room when it comes to this issue.
This is the one time that President Trump's instincts are wrong,
and you're seeing it. Whether it's Tucker Carlson or Charlie Kirk,
Candice Owens, Megan Kelly, the list goes on. People are

(37:55):
not going to let this go. So let me tell
you and listen to what President Trump continues to say
about this Epstein situation. Let me play you this next one. Okay,
And this one is a very quick one to be
a total hoax.

Speaker 7 (38:15):
The fifty one agency intelligence so called intelligence agents, was
a hoax.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
It's all been a big hoax.

Speaker 9 (38:22):
It's perpetrated by the Democrats, and some stupid Republicans and
foolish Republicans fall into the net, and so they try
and do the Democrats work.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
So there you go. Now, not only are people who
want this bad people who want transparency, who want accountability,
who want bad people brought to justice. Now you're a
stupid Republican if you want release of the Epstein files.

(38:53):
And now he's saying that it is a hoax that
the Epstein files that his people like Pam Bondi talked about.
He says it's all a hoax, and he makes analogies
to Russia, Russia, Russia and the Steele dossier, and I

(39:15):
don't understand it. And the reason I don't understand it
because we got to go with Fax people. Epstein was
first arrested when George W. Bush was president. He was
then next arrested in twenty nineteen. In twenty nineteen, president
Trump was the president. When Epstein was killed or hung himself,

(39:41):
whatever happened, President Trump was the president. His Attorney General,
William Barr, was the one that signed off on it
being a suicide. And so the list that was all
done and the documents collected were collected under a Trump administration. Now,

(40:02):
sure that it's Biden, you know, was president after that,
and sure you know you had Christopher Ray and all
those people at the FBI who might not be Trump fans,
and but this all happened under Trump's presidency. Like that's
the fact. So it's not a hoax. And to call

(40:22):
it a hoax and to call us stupid, stupid Republicans
because we're demanding the release of this information, it's just
not right. And President Trump is losing support. And now
do I think it's going to derail his presidency. I'm
not suggesting that people. Am I saying that the Epstein

(40:44):
files are more important than inflation? Of course? Not? Am
I saying that's more important? And immigration, of course? Not
am I saying is more important than foreign wars and
what's going on in Iran in the Middle East? Of course?
Not is that? It is important? Is the housing crisis?
Of course?

Speaker 8 (41:02):
Not.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Is as important as the opioid addiction of course. Not.
Is it as important as healthcare in this country? Of course?
Not is as important as voter or confidence and potential
problems in voting an election, integrity, of course not right.
So I can continue to go on. But that doesn't

(41:25):
mean you're stupid, because you want transparency and you want
people to be held accountable. Okay, now that's just reality.
So I'm going to play you, you know, my last
clip for the show, and we're going to talk about it, and.

Speaker 6 (41:44):
Please do not let that story start.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
All right, this is We're gonna start with Dan Bongino.
Here we go. Please do not let that story go.
Who has Jeffrey Epstein's Black Book, Black Book? FBI? But
who that is?

Speaker 8 (42:00):
I mean, well, that's under direct control of the director
of the FBI.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
What the hell of the House Republicans doing they have
the majority. You can't get the list.

Speaker 8 (42:10):
Put on your big boy pants and let us know
who the pedophiles are.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Would you declassify the Epstein files?

Speaker 1 (42:17):
Yeah, yeah, I would. I guess I would.

Speaker 7 (42:20):
I think that less so because you know, you don't
know if you don't want to affect people's lives of
its phony stuff in there, because there's a lot of phony.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
Stuff with that whole world. But I think I would.

Speaker 6 (42:30):
This isn't about Epstein or nine to eleven or JFK
or RFK. It is, but it isn't. It's about a
bigger thing. If you're lying about that, you're lying about everything.
Who's on the Epstein tapes, folks, who's on those tapes?
Who's in those black books? Why have they been hiding it?

Speaker 4 (42:49):
And this is something Donald Trump has talked about, the
DOJ maybe releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients. Well,
that really happen.

Speaker 5 (42:57):
It's sitting on my desk right now to review. That's
been a directive by President Trump. Everything's going to come
out to the public. The public is the right to know.
Americans have a.

Speaker 6 (43:08):
Right to know.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Okay, so who are those people? That was Dan Bongino
before he was the deputy director of the FBI, going off,
Is he a bad guy? Is he a stupid Republican?
That was Cash Patel telling Glenn Beck that release it.

(43:36):
Why are you protecting pedophiles? And he said, it's at
the director of the FBI. The director of the FBI
has it, Ladies and gentlemen. Who is now the director
of the FBI. It's Cash Pattel. It's that same guy.
And now all of a sudden he's got amnesia. All
of a sudden he's the one protecting pedophiles. So you

(44:00):
could see why this was a big problem. Listen to
Pam Bondi, that's the Attorney General saying that the American
people deserved the truth they deserve to know. You know,
I can't explain why President Trump is doing such a

(44:21):
one eighty his son. All of these big supporters who
are now at part of his administration all demanded what
you and I have been demanding, what we're still demanding.
But now we're stupid and now we're bad people. And
I could see why Dan Bongino and Cash Spattel that

(44:44):
there was some kind of fallout and one of them
were going to lead. Now President Trump has heard at
them back in listen, some people say, well, President Trump
is acting as if he's in the file, and you
got a lot of his distractors saying that's the reason. Now.
The counter to that, of course, is that President Trump,

(45:07):
if he was in the Epstein files, if there was
evidence that he did anything bad, we certainly would have
hurt it. It would have been released by Biden, you know,
or or Kamala Harris when they were running against him,
because they'd have had that information and they would have
used it for sure to stop him from becoming president.
And they didn't do that. That's a very valid argument.

(45:30):
Now some would counter that argument was saying, yeah, but
that would also mean that they have to, you know,
let the Bill gateses of the world off the hook.
You know, Bill Gates donated fifty million dollars to Kamala Harris.
Some would argue that, you know, there was no reason

(45:51):
to release those things, this file, the Epstein List, the
Epstein file, because Democratic donors are going to be out
and that will dry up the money, those big multimillion
dollar donations. And so you know, I don't know the answer.

(46:11):
President Trump had kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of Marilaga one time,
so you know it made you. I don't know. I
really I'm struggling to try to rational, to give a
rational response or reason to something that I find completely irrational.

(46:32):
Now there's a personal reason. I guess why I'm so vested.
I believe you always should disclose your confirmation bias. And
when you heard that clip of me talking to Elizabeth
Warren and that she didn't ask questions about those child
rape victims, I disclosed that I might be a little

(46:55):
more sensitive to this issue because I was raped as
a child between the ages of nine eleven for a
period of two years by a child predator in the neighborhood.
And I write about it about it in my book
right here, Food Stamp Warrior. It is the smallest chapter

(47:16):
in this book of mine, and I get into the
graphic details. It was horrific, and I won't get on
those details in the air. I've talked about it my
first show. But it does damage to you, and those
victims deserve to know that we care and that they're

(47:37):
not alone, and that our government, our society will protect them.
I'm John Deaton and this is the hard truth. I'll
see you next week.
