Taking It Back Ep. 104: Epstein Optics, Comey’s Exit, and Trump’s Narrative Jiu-Jitsu

In this episode of Taking It Back, Zak Paine and Adel Nero go deep on Trump’s bold Truth Social post declaring the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,” analyzing the former president’s messaging and media strategy. They argue that Trump’s controversial comments are a tactical move designed to bait mainstream media and provoke mass exposure of a long-suppressed issue, child trafficking and institutional corruption, under the guise of political damage control.

The conversation expands into a broader discussion of legacy media collapse, independent journalism's rise, and how Trump supporters must look beyond emotional triggers to understand the long game. They also tackle the role of Maureen Comey in prosecuting high-profile trafficking cases, her sudden firing, and the implications for future investigations.

With humor, clarity, and plenty of sharp edge, the hosts call out performative influencers, explain why mainstream polling still favors Trump despite the media circus, and highlight how blackmail networks could be rooted in deep intelligence operations far beyond Epstein himself. This is a no-nonsense takedown of distraction narratives and a passionate defense of trusting the mission.
