Donald Trump’s Christmas Day Truth Social rant about Jeffrey Epstein read less like a calm denial and more like a public meltdown. While insisting—yet again—that Epstein was essentially a “hoax” story inflated by political enemies and the media, Trump spent an extraordinary amount of time angrily revisiting the scandal, attacking “sleazebags,” and lashing out at anyone still asking questions. The sheer intensity of the post undercut its own premise: if Epstein were truly irrelevant or fabricated, there would be no reason for a former president to devote a holiday screed to him. Instead, Trump’s tone was defensive, erratic, and fixated, suggesting a man who cannot let the subject go despite claiming it doesn’t matter.

More striking was what Trump did not do. Rather than welcome transparency or call for the full, unredacted release of Epstein-related records—something that would theoretically put the issue to rest—he defaulted to grievance and bluster. The post reinforced a long-running pattern in Trump’s Epstein rhetoric: deny, deflect, attack, but never resolve. By crashing out publicly on Christmas over a figure he claims is meaningless, Trump once again highlighted the contradiction at the center of his narrative, fueling skepticism and ensuring that Epstein remains a live issue rather than a closed chapter.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. So on Christmas Day, Donald Trump, a grandfather,
a father, a husband, decided that it would be a
good idea to take the truth Social and absolutely crash
out about Jeffrey Epstein. And boy, old boy, was it
hilarious to read this. Dude has the audacity of calling

(00:24):
anyone else's sleeves bag for hanging out with Epstein considering
his own history on Christmas Day, nonetheless, which is pretty wild.
Considering all of this is just a big hoax and
a big ass Democrat plan to take down Trump, you'd
think that he'd be ignoring it. Right if it was
just a big ass hoax and there was no exposure
and he didn't have anything to worry about, I highly

(00:46):
doubt that he'd be freaking out on truth Social with
all these rants and crashing out over Jeffrey Epstein. And
like I've said a million times before, this is all
of his own making. Instead of just releasing the files
like you and your knucklehead said you were going to
do on the campaign trail, you've been out here playing games,
calling people stupid, calling people traders, and drawing a very

(01:08):
definitive line in the sand, and I know exactly what
side I'm on. I'm not on the side of Jeffrey
Epstein's buddy. I'm not on the side of the guy
that's defending and protecting the enablers. I'm not on the
side of the man who is crashing out and posting
all kinds of crazy shit on Christmas Day. I mean,
watching them on Christmas Day hammer out posts about Epstein

(01:29):
sure didn't feel strategic to me. It felt like it
was unhinged. In fact, I mean that's what it looked
like to me. Not confidence, not dominance, just this jittery,
angry need to keep talking so nobody else can get
a word in. And let's be real, that's not what
normal people do. Normal people shut up, eat and enjoy

(01:51):
the day, you know, try and forget the noise for
a few hours. He couldn't. And in my opinion, the
more he posts, the less powerfully looks, because it stops
feeling like a threat, and it starts feeling like a
guy who knows that the story's not going to end
the way that he wants it to desperately end, and
he's trying to yell his way out of it. Today,

(02:11):
we have an article from the New York Post and
the headline Trump rails against the many sleeves bags who
love Jeffrey Epstein in latest Christmas message. This article was
authored by Victoria Nova. President Trump predicted Thursday that documents
related to Jeffrey Epstein will show that the sleeves bags
who loved the notorious Pedal File are all Democrats. Look,

(02:33):
there's no doubt that there's a ton of Democrats that
are going to be found in these files, including people
like George Mitchell. And that's something that people are going
to have to have a reckoning with. And George Mitchell's legacy,
if you will, is going to be called into question,
and it should be because you can't pick and choose
what you believe. Right, if you believe Virginia, then you

(02:55):
believe that George Mitchell also took part in the actual abuse.
So when Trump says that there's Democrats that are going
to be in these files, he's not wrong about that,
But that doesn't absolve him of his own sleeves bag
behavior or the fact that he's covering this up. Right now,
Merry Christmas to all, including the many sleezebags who love
Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his island,

(03:16):
attended his parties, and thought that he was the greatest
guy on earth, only to drop him like a dog
when things got too hot. Trump wrote on True Social well,
what are people supposed to do, Donnie boy? Hang out
and continue to chill with the dude? I mean, I
know some people did, But if you found out that
Jeffrey Epstein was, you know, diddling kids, probably a good

(03:38):
idea to get as far away from him as possible. Right.
The problem is the people who decided not to get
away from him and then lied about it. Plenty of those.
The President argued that individuals once associated with Epstein, but
now distancing themselves from the disgraced late financier, how falsely
claimed they had nothing to do with them, didn't know him,

(03:59):
say he was a disgusting person, and then blame of course,
Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only person who
did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to
do so. I'll give me a break already. Is this
guy for real? I mean, besides kat turd and lives
of TikTok, who the fuck believes this shit? If you
actually buy this. I hate to say it, but you're stupid.

(04:22):
This man just literally told on himself. He's doing the
exact same thing, falsely claim you had nothing to do
with him, that you didn't know him, and you said
he was a disgusting person. But that was before you
called him a gray person, right, That was before you
guys were fast friends. That was before you decided to
cover this up. So from my perspective over here in

(04:43):
the peanut gallery, when we're talking about sleeves bags, we
have to include Trump. Trump and Epstein stayed close in
the nineteen nineties and early two thousands before falling out,
reportedly among a bidding war in two thousand and four
over a sense demolished Palm Beach, Florida mansion. Wait, I
thought it was about Virginia. I thought it was about
stealing girls from our a lago. Isn't that what they

(05:05):
told us? Well one of the stories. And that's another
big problem for Trump. His story has changed how many times?
So if you're somebody with nothing to hide, you have
nothing to fear. You're not worried about people taking a
look at the timeline and matching things up. You're not
telling five different stories, trying to throw people off the track.

(05:26):
But that's what Trump has done since the beginning, and
you can't pin him down on one, and God forbid,
you bring it up, mouth, start foaming, ears, start shooting
smoke out of them, and the reputation laundering begins, and
I've had enough of it. Imagine if we flip this
around if Trump was a Democrat. Can you imagine what
the people on the right would be saying about this?

(05:47):
But instead they're trying to defend Trump and trying to
justify his behavior, trying to justify what he's doing right now.
And look, I'm not even talking about the previous relationship.
I'll leave that to other people. I'll leave that to
the people that are chasing salacious stories nowhere. What I'm
talking about is the cover up that's happening right now.

(06:08):
That's tangible. That's something I think we can prove, and
that's something that needs to be focused on because I've
told you a million times at this point, they want
you on the side quest they want you looking for
things that are gonna be almost impossible to prove. Then
that way they can say, look, this is a big
witch hunt. You're just bringing up all kinds of salacious bullshit.
But the truth is, it doesn't take a genius to

(06:30):
realize that there's a cover up happening right now as
we speak, and that cover up has nothing to do
with Bill Clinton, has nothing to do with Larry Summers
or anyone else. And believe me, those people aren't my
favorite people on earth either. You've heard how I talk
about them. But we're gonna call balls and strikes for
what they are here, and that means that the man
in charge right now, Donald Trump, is where the buck stops.

(06:54):
He has all the power in the world to release
these files and change everything. He could have been the hero.
He chose not to be. He chose to call you
a trader, he chose to say he didn't want your vote,
and now he has to live with those results. And
it's going to be very, very interesting to watch how
MAGA takes this loss come midterms, because they're going to

(07:16):
get waxed. I honestly don't know any independent that's going
to vote MAGA. Now that doesn't mean everyone's going to
vote Democrat, but a lot of people are going to
sit it out, and I think that's going to spell
doom for the Republicans. And if you think this Epstein
story is not going to have a huge part of that,
you're crazy. It is. This story has people fired up.
People I have never seen fired up about politics before

(07:38):
are fired up. And that's a good thing. Shows that
we at least still have some moral fabric left in
the country, that the people themselves aren't corrupted. Now are politicians,
They're hopeless, none of them care, not Trump, not Jasmine Crockett,
not any of them. But the people, you me, the
rest of us, we still know what morality is and

(08:00):
we're not going to let these scumbags get away with
this shit, not this time. Epstein, who died in the
Manhattan jail cell in twenty nineteen while awaiting trial on
federal child sex trafficking charges, previously pleaded guilty in two
thousand and eight to soliciting a miner for prostitution in
a case out of Florida. And that's what the law
point to. Well, Epstein just got nailed for prostitution, and

(08:21):
you know it was a minor, she was seventeen, and
they act like that's the end of it. So disingenuous.
We all know it's deeper than that. We all know
that that was the only charge and the only indictment
and the only conviction. But we also know that there
were plenty of other girls, and the prosecution itself fought
against those girls to defend Epstein. That's not me telling

(08:42):
you that we saw the grand jury transcripts. Now we've
read them all. We've been through them, so you know
the truth, and the truth is exactly what these people fear.
The President also claimed he banned Epstein from his marl
Lago club after the convicted sex predator ignored warnings. Not
the poach massuses from the SPA to work for him,

(09:02):
So they give us two different reasons for why the
relationship ended. In the same article, Do Better, New York Post,
I want to see a level of work here that
approaches what you did with Hunter Biden's laptop? Is that
too much to ask? When their names get brought out
in the ongoing radical left witch hunt? Plus one low
life Republican Massy so right there alone, Donald Trump is

(09:24):
asking for war politically speaking, right ideologically speaking, you think
you're gonna attack Thomas Massey and the Ron Paul wing
of the party is going to be okay with it,
But do you have another thing coming. You have a
whole ass other thing coming, and it's revealed that there
are democrats all. There will be a lot of explaining
to do, much like there was when it was made public.

(09:45):
The Russia Russia Russia hoax was a fictitious story, a
total scam, and had nothing to do with Trump. The
Commander in Chief continued, and look, I know you guys
didn't want to hear it back then, but I told
you Russia Gate was a waste of political capital. There
was no they're there, not enough to get any convictions.
That's for damn sure, no convictions that matter. And it

(10:06):
was all going on at what time, Oh, that's right
the same time that the Epstein case was exploding. So
they had you chasing all this bullshit when it comes
to Russia Gate, and all this Epstein stuff was right
there for you. And I was called all kinds of names. Oh,
why you're defending Trump. What I'm not defending Trump. I'm
defending the truth. And the truth is you're wasting political capital.

(10:29):
And I knew that later on down the road it
would come back to haunt us. And guess what, here
we are, And that shit showed up like the ghost
of Jacob Marley. People need to understand that I don't
care about either of these political parties. I don't have favorites.
I don't have a politician that I'm like, oh, yeah,
this guy's great. I don't look at them like that.
I have one hero on this planet, and that's my father.

(10:50):
Nobody else. I don't look up to nobody else. Nobody's
ever offered me the proper guidance, nobody's ever stepped up
to help me out. My dad has every step of
the way. So when I'm looking for a hero, I
look at the guy that got up at three o'clock
in the morning every morning when we first moved to
Las Vegas, strapped on a tool belt and walked up

(11:11):
to the strip looking for a job. That's the dude
that I look up to, not some politician, not some athlete,
not some stranger. So I don't have any fabs. When
I speak out about one of these topics, it's because
I feel that way, truly, and my moral compass demands
that I move in that direction. Now, I don't believe
that everybody has the same moral compass right and nor

(11:33):
should we, But I think at the end of the day,
we should all agree that something like this, what Epstein
was up to is the darkest, most vile shit that
you can get up to. And if we can't all
rally around putting these kinds of people in jail or
holding them responsible, then we are truly fucked. The failing
New York Times, among many others, was forced to apologize

(11:56):
for their bad and faulty election reporting, even to the
point of losing many subscribers due to their highly inaccurate
fake coverage. Trump added, arguing, now the same losers are
at it again, only this time so many of their friends,
mostly innocent, will be badly hurt and reputationally tarnished. Not
one single word about the survivors, not one. He never

(12:18):
frames it like that, never talks about what they went through,
never even acts like there are any people who were victimized.
It's all about him, all about the optics, all about
what people are saying. What an absolute asshole. But sadly
that's the way it is in the world to corrupt
Democrat politics. Enjoy what may be your last married Christmas,

(12:38):
President Donald J. Trump. And what's so funny about this
is Leon Black, Republican Les Wexner, Republican Steve Manuchin Republican.
Plenty of Republicans to go around, and Jeffrey Epstein's best guys,
the guys that were the most impactful in enabling him
and making sure he did what he did, they were Republicans,

(12:59):
and by that I mean Leon Black and Les Wexner,
the two most crucial pieces in Epstein's financial empire. So
if you're going to call out the Democrats, and there's
plenty to call out, like I did in the beginning,
then you have to call out everybody. And that's the
problem with this case overall, a lot of selective justice.
But I think that moving forward, people are going to

(13:19):
understand that that's not going to cut it. And I
think that the common people, you know us, whether they're
a Republican or Democrat, they want justice here and they
want answers. And I think everybody but the most died
in the wool Maga folks understands that there's a cover
up going on right now, and that the cover up

(13:40):
is probably the most extensive and worst in the history
of the country. And I don't say that lightly. We've
been involved in some shit in this country, our government,
the CIA, but what they're doing here is beyond the
pill and how boldly they're getting out here and just
basically telling us, shut the foot, we're gonna do what

(14:01):
we want is bananas to me, and I guess it
leaves me and everybody else with one single question, what
are we gonna do about it? All of the information

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
