Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. James Comer really got up in front of
cameras and whine that nobody is going to believe his
Epstein report when it drops, as if that's some shocking
revelation nobody saw coming. Congratulations, James, you finally grasp the
most obvious truth in American politics. Nobody believes a single
(00:23):
word any of you, swamp fossils says anymore. That trust
reservoir has ran dry about twenty scandals ago, and now
every time one of you opens your mouth, all we
hear is static and bullshit. The part Comer doesn't seem
to understand is that the disbelief isn't the problem, it's
the solution. Distrust is the immune response to decades of lies,
(00:47):
cover ups, and staged investigations that go nowhere. And now
he wants sympathy because people aren't going to swallow whatever
scripted narratives they're about to push. Cry about it, Bud.
He had the nerve to compare the public reaction to
the Warren Commission like that's some honorable benchmark instead of
a historical insult to the intelligence of the American people.
(01:08):
And what really makes this clown show unbearable is the
arrogance dripping off every word. The political class treats the
public like we're malfunctioning cattle who can't comprehend the brilliance
of their findings. They act like disbelief is some kind
of moral failure instead of the only say reaction left.
Comer isn't mad that people will question his report. He's
(01:31):
furious that he can't control the narrative anymore. The Internet
ripped the leash off, and now they're panicking because the
old tricks don't work. No one's impressed by committee hearings
and binders full of printed emails anymore. We want action, consequences, prosecutions,
and names, not another useless performance piece. Comer is crying
(01:52):
because the game is finally up, and of course, like
every other politician drowning in their own mediocrity, he blames
us not buying the bullshit instead of blaming himself for
producing it. It's always our fault, right. The peasants just
don't understand the public is too emotional, the citizens are
too conspiratorial. The voters need to calm down and be
(02:14):
reasonable while politicians flush another decade down the toilet. Meanwhile,
these same geniuses have been promising to drain the swamp,
lock people up, and expose corruption and seek justice since
the Jurassic era, and what has it produced? Nothing but
press releases and victory dances after indicting someone's assistance in
(02:35):
turns uber driver. Comer wants to pretend that he's some
crusader for truth, but every time he steps up to
the microphone, all anyone hears is the hollow ring of
another committee clown juggling subpoenas for show. He's just another
guy who swings a bat without ever hitting the ball.
He does just enough to get on television, just enough
to say he's working, just enough to claim victory, before
(02:58):
quietly slinking away into irrelevance. It's the same pattern on
a repeat. Announce a massive investigation, tease big revelations, hype consequences,
then deliver a whimper softer than baby shit. The only
thing that Comer has ever successfully exposed is that Congress
loved theater and hates accountability. They crave cameras and despise results.
(03:20):
The system works perfectly for them. Remember Russia Gate, all
those tough guys speeches about people going to prison and
justice raining down like fire. Yeah, how'd that go? Not
one swamp creature wearing an expensive suit got frog marched anywhere.
The only people who got arrested were low level nobody's
and Twitter addicts who lied about nonsense. James Comy, he's
(03:42):
out here writing books and signing autographs like a rockstar
of Barnes and Noble. Meanwhile, Comber and his crew have
the audacity to pretend they're delivering knockout punches. These fools
could knock over a drink at a party, and don't
forget all the bombshells they unleached that turned out to
be damn firecrackers every time they shout soon, like teenage
(04:03):
anime fans waiting for a show finale. Every time they
thump their chests about accountability, only to turn around and
hand out immunity deals. Every time they promise oversight, only
for oversight to me and watching criminals escape consequences and
high definition and the cycle is insulting at this point.
They're not investigating, they're stalling. They're not revealing truth, they're
(04:24):
managing fallout. They're not fighting for survivors, they're protecting donors.
Comer is the poster child for performative politics, the guy
who throws a tantrum when people refuse to applaud the
empty theater production that he's calling justice. This man expects
applause for emotion, not results. He expects gratitude for breadcrumbs
(04:44):
instead of demanding the loaf, and he has the nerve
to act wounded because the public doesn't trust him, when
trust is something you learned, not something you whine about.
He wants respect without delivering anything worth respecting. That's the
disease infecting every politician in washing. They want faith without proof,
they want followers without leadership, they want silence without earning peace.
(05:08):
The truth is Americans are done with trust me bro politics,
done with reports that lead nowhere, done with committees that
exist only to stage press conferences and dodge responsibility. Nobody's
clapping when a politician says an investigation is coming. Nobody's
impressed by binders full of nothing. Nobody wants another ceremony
of fakes seriousness. People want results, not reruns, and if
(05:32):
these guys can't deliver them, the people will So Yeah, Comer,
you're right, Nobody believes you, and nobody will not because
we're ungrateful, stupid, or conspiratorial, but because you have proven
time and time again that believing you would require being
clinically brain dead. The public isn't the problem. The distrust
is in the crisis. The real crisis is that the
(05:53):
American people have finally realized no cavalry is coming, and
certainly not from clowns like you. The big is up,
the game is exposed. The age of gullible obedience is dead.
Today's article is from Politico and the headline nobody will
ever believe it James Comer aras doubts about his own
Epstein investigation. This article was authored by Hailey Fuchs. Without
(06:19):
James Comer's house investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, the world might
have never seen the birthday book full of lude materials,
or the trove of more than twenty thousand documents elucidating
the late convicted sex offender's dealings with global power players,
including President Trump. Well that's true, unless, of course, the
DOJ actually did their job and opened a brand new
(06:42):
investigation into the whole thing and subpoenaed those documents, which
they should have done in the first place. Right, Why
did the estates still have those documents. Why weren't all
those emails, all those documents, everything in the hands of
the DOJ and the FBI. That's a question somebody should ask.
It would have been a career defining triumph for any
(07:03):
House Oversight Committee chair, but not for Comer, who expressed
deep ambivalence about the ongoing probe in a recent interview.
What he's trying to do is set it up because
he knows we're not going to get all the information.
He knows he's not giving us everything, so he's setting
it up for failure. Now, if you read between the lines,
what he's saying is you're not going to get what
(07:25):
you want, so you're gonna be disappointed. That reflects the
complicated and unpredictable fallout from the Epstein saga, which has
helped derail the Republican congressional agenda and the opening year
of Trump's second term. It could also have implications for
Comer's own political ambitions, given his own belief that American
minds might well be impervious to his panel's conclusions. Like
(07:48):
I said in the opening, that's a them problem. I mean,
at this point, nobody trusts them, no matter the side
of the aisle. And for me, it doesn't matter who
the president is. This is the drum on banging no
matter what, as you all know. And that's because it's
always meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
It never changes. I fear the report will be like
(08:09):
the Warren report, he said, nobody will ever believe it. Well,
that's because it's going to be unbelievable. You guys are
hiding things. You won't even give us the basics. You're
out here pushing when you should be pulling. You're out
here arguing when you should be getting together and commiserating
on a plan. You're out here running cover for the
(08:31):
president when you should be holding him accountable. So yeah,
nobody believes you. Comer's reference to the sixty four report
on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, led by
Chief Justice Earl Warren, underscores how the Epstein case has
enthralled legions of skeptics who say the federal government is
intent on protecting powerful men involved in the exploitation of
(08:55):
young women and girls. And all of us see that's
the salacious part, right, and that's the worst part, obviously,
praying on young girls and women. But he was praying
on everybody. They all were. The whole entire operation was
a complete slap in the face to the American public.
And they know that the American public wouldn't stand for it,
(09:17):
so they run this shit off the books. You're not
going to go in there and find some handler who
was running Epstein. That's not how it works. This was
a black operation. This was one that was off the
books being run by an intermediary, and that intermediary was
Jeffrey Epstein. That was one big reason Comer said that
he wasn't excited about doing the investigation. No, you weren't
(09:39):
excited because your boy, President Trump doesn't want you doing
the investigation. Why are you lying again? Why would anyone
keep voting for these people? That's another question I have.
I mean, we can plan all the time about how
fucked up politics are, but people keep it voting for
these incumbents time and time again. What exactly has James
Comer ever done for you? There are so many conspiracy theories,
(10:03):
he said, leave an unspoken that his reputation and legacy
are now entwined with the case. So that should mean
you'd want to do the right thing, that you'd want
to step up and hold everybody accountable, even if that
means going after your buddy, President Trump. That's a shift
from where Comer staked his political brand a year ago
(10:23):
as the top GOP investigator of Joe Biden. But as
to your effort to undermine the sitting president produced uneven results,
with his impeachment probe focusing on Biden family business dealings
never coming to a vote, and his investigation into the
former president's allegedmental decline failing to deliver any bombshells. Bro
(10:43):
Biden was obviously in mental decline. You couldn't even come
up with a report that showed that. But yeah, you're
going to break the whole entire Jeffrey Epstein story wide open,
and we should trust you. Please take all the seats
in the back row and shut up. And another tell,
by the way, is that Thomas Massey thought he had
to get the petition going because he didn't trust what
(11:04):
was going on with Comer. That's what that means. So,
as he eyes a twenty twenty seven run for Kentucky governor,
with his relationship with Trump likely to be a central
to his prospects, it's the Epstein investigation that could determine
Comer's future in politics. That's what it's all about. Keep
that in mind. It's not about justice, it's not about
(11:26):
the survivors. It's not about you or me. It's about
Comer and his political career. Oh, I want to be
the governor, so I better dance to Trump's tune. Well,
I think that's a big mistake. And I think that
moving forward, Trump's endorsement is not going to be what
it used to be within the conservative circles. And I
think that veneer of invulnerability within the Republican Party has
(11:49):
now been ripped off. When you get molly wopped four
hundred and twenty seven to one in a vote that
you didn't want to take place, I'd say that your
grip on power is certainly slipping. Remember it was ironclad previously.
Now though, people are starting to question what the fuck
this guy's covering up. And I don't just mean regular
people like us. I'm talking about people in the party.
(12:13):
I've had some staunch ask conservatives hit me up recently
talking about this and about how dismayed and disgusted they
are by the actions of the administration. So if you
think that it's just common people and independence, and people
on the left or whatever that are pissed off. Think again,
everybody's mad. The only people that aren't mad are the
(12:34):
people that are deep into their ideology. Right. When you're
a demagogue, you're a demagogue. When you retreat to that bunker,
like I was saying with Hitler, you're not expecting to leave.
It's all guns blazing at this point, and they've all
retreated to the bunker with their boy Trump. And look,
I understand loyalty, right, but blind loyalty to somebody that's
(12:54):
obviously engaging in an active cover up of something that
is so mastardly, so heinous, how can you support it?
For months, House GOP leadership touted the oversight probe as
proof that Republicans were taking the Epstein case seriously, even
as they fought efforts from within their own ranks to
advance legislation that would force a complete release of the
(13:17):
DOJ investigative files. In a twist, last week, Trump gave
up fighting the bill's inevitable passage, signing the measure into
law shortly after Congress approved it with just one dissenter.
He did that shit, kicking and screaming he didn't want
to sign it. He didn't want to have anything to
do with this stuff being released. Well, here we are,
(13:37):
and a lot of that has to do with you.
Let's be real, The pressure campaign that you folks have
been putting on very impressive, and I have to tell you,
I'm honestly shocked. Usually it doesn't work, but the pressure
has been so severe and from so many different corners
that they had to take it seriously. And that's all
because you folks not given up, not letting go of
(13:58):
this bone. And I definitely tip my hat to everybody
who is spending their time daily and who keeps demanding
transparency in justice, because it certainly is an exhausting fight,
and I'm sure the vast majority of you would rather
be doing something else with your time, But unfortunately, this
is the fate we were served up right, these are
(14:21):
the times, this is the issue that's staring us in
the face, and we have two choices. Either we accept
what they're doing or we continue to fight. And from
what I've seen recently, pretty sure that nobody is going
to go quietly into the night, and that the flags
of discontent are gonna keep flying. The administration now has
(14:43):
fewer than thirty days to make materials available to the
public with redactions to protect victims' names and respect ongoing
criminal investigations. Meanwhile, Comer must find a way to shepherd
his committee's investigation to some conclusion. I'm sure it's going
to be one that's favorable to the president, right, Isn't
that the whole entire goal. Isn't that why they were
(15:05):
so mad about the discharge petition? That's what the logical
landpoint of his probe would be. Comer was not quite sure.
He said that he remains hopeful that bank records that
he has subpoenaed will turn up something notable. The chair
recently demanded Epstein related records from JP Morgan Chase and
Deutsche Bank, and asked the Attorney General for the US
(15:25):
Virgin Islands, whose jurisdiction includes the two private islands that
Epstein owned, for additional materials. No talk about the co conspirators.
No Darren Endyke, no Richard Kahn, No Sarah Kellen Vickers,
no Leslie Groff, no Adriana Ross, no Nadia Marsenkova, none
of them. So what are they actually doing here? Oh,
(15:47):
let me get some bank records. We've seen them all already.
We've seen a lot of this bank stuff when it
comes to the USVII and the lawsuit they had going on.
So unless you have a brand new investigation, what does
he think he's going to on earth. He's trying to
pull your leg. That's what he's doing. And that's why
nobody believes you, mister Comer, because you're bsing. US. Comer
(16:08):
warned of various obstacles. Many of the crimes occurred decades ago,
and evidence will be difficult to find. The key witness, Epstein,
killed himself allegedly behind bars in twenty nineteen, while Glenn Maxwell,
Epstein's longtime co conspirator, now serving a twenty year sentence
for her part in the sex trafficking crimes, has said
she will not cooperate with the House Oversight Committee. Well,
(16:30):
I wonder why she can't leave the party there, right,
she can't leave the dance. Her little lame ass lawyer
Osca Mauchus can't be the one in charge, so she
has no desire to speak to the committee. What she
was looking to do was jerk Trump off. Oh let
me give Trump a quick reach around here, and maybe
he's going to commute my sentence. They really think we're stupid.
(16:52):
That's the problem. They think all of us are just
going to go along with their bullshit. Well guess what,
We're not going along with it. It's an effort to
try to satisfy calls on both sides of the aisle
for some kind of list. Comer said he has tasked
Democratic and Republican women on the Oversight Committee to meet
privately with victims to try to learn the identities of
(17:14):
people complicit in Epstein's criminal activities. I just gave you
six people that were complicit, most of them named by
judges during trials. But sure, let's talk about bullshit. If
there is no Epstein list, and the American people expect
us to compose an Epstein list, if we don't get
any names from the victims, it's going to be hard
(17:36):
to do, he said. I've already given plenty of names.
The problem is, like I said previously, it's not the
names they want. Jennifer Freeman, an attorney representing some of
Epstein's accusers, warning that Comer's strategy could put the women
at risk. Why are we putting the burden on them,
she said in an interview, But The most significant challenge
(17:57):
Comer faces is managing the political fallout for Trump and
the GOP writ large. Imagine that's the biggest problem, and
here it is, in a nutshell, that is the biggest problem.
That that's what he's worried about. Nobody gives a fuck
about your stupid GOP party. How about Karen, about the
country for once? I thought you were America first, make
America great again. Yeah, well, if this is making America
(18:21):
great again, count me the fuck out. Comber's targeting of
the Epstein estate uncovered materials that connect the president to
the lay financier, but Comer has continued to downplay the
significance of the revelations and insists they show no signs
of wrongdoing. Well, besides the relationship, that's wrong in itself.
(18:42):
All these people out here that keep saying, oh, well,
there's no wrongdoing, bitch, associating with this man is enough
enabling him, giving him that veneer, giving him that respectability.
And for Trump, things are even worse. Not because I
think he was diddling kids or you know, assaulting people.
We haven't seen that evidence. What I have seen, though,
(19:03):
is evidence of a cover up. That's happening right now,
in real time, right in front of my eyes. And
if you think I'm going back to sleep, you got
another thing coming. Democrats publicized widely the revelations in the
Birthday Book, with a racy drawing and message allegedly penned
by Trump. They also blasted out a set of emails
(19:24):
mentioning Trump, including one in which Epstein said that Trump
knew about the girls. Again, damning as fuck, but nothing
that can get a conviction, right, nothing that would even
get him invited. But it's certainly damning, and it gives
you a view of what was really going on here.
Now they'll say, well, Trump knew about the girls, meaning
the other girls that were around, not the underage ones.
(19:46):
But I'll leave it up to you to decide if
you believe them. Comber rejects the narrative that his investigation
has been damaging for Trump, and blamed his panel's minority
for disregarding committee norms and selectively releasing certain information the
panel had received. Speaking with reporters last week, Comer called
the Oversight Committee's top Democrat, representative, Robert Garcia of California,
(20:11):
dishonest and awful, among other personal attacks, and that's wild. Huh,
Robert Garcia can be attacked by Epstein's people. Those are
sacred people. We can't go after them. I'm done with
Garcia criticizing me. He played the gay card. Comber said,
he just needs to do TikTok videos or something. He's
(20:31):
not a serious investigator. He's like a TikTok video kind
of guy. Look, I don't know much about mister Garcia,
but I'm sure he's another performative jerk off. All of
them are. And this is what people don't want to
understand or wrap their mind around. None of these politicians
care about you. They'd much rather make social media content
(20:51):
than actually get to the bottom of our problems. And
don't even get me started on the whole entire maha.
Forget that shit too. A bunch of bees, bunch of lies.
What exactly are they doing to tackle the addiction problem.
Oh sure, let's blow up some boats. Let's keep the
war on drugs going as we ignore the real problem,
which is addiction right here in our own country. Comer
(21:14):
said that Garcia had limited abilities to begin with, but
he's burned his bridges with this. A spokesperson for Comer
said the gay card comment referred to a September incident
where Garcia invoked a sexuality after Comer called them a
drama queen to reporters. Garcia, who is gay, said an interview,
it was clear that Chairman Comber and the Committee Republicans
(21:36):
had been outworked and out maneuvered, and he's clearly upset
and he's panicking that we have been fighting every single
day to release these files. They've tried to bend the
need to Trump and cover up and be part of
the White House cover up. And look, I don't disagree
with any of that, but come on, mister Garcia, where
have you been for all these years? You're just another
Johnny cumm lately. Don't try and take ownership of this
(21:58):
like you and your colleagues are doing something great right here.
You're writing the cotaels of the people. You're writing the
cottails of the survivors so you can save the whole
superman crap for somebody else. We all know who you are,
and we know what all your colleagues are as well.
You won't even hold Stacy Plasket accountable, but you're out
here running your mouth about other things. Please take five
steps back. If Trump is displeased with Comber's handling of
(22:22):
the Epstein investigation. He hasn't said so publicly, and there
aren't apparent rumblings inside the administration about friction. The President
likes James Comer a lot. A senior White House official
who was granted anonymity to share a private conversation said,
in fact, I spoke with Trump recently about Comer, and
he said he's always been good with him all the way.
(22:44):
There's no problems there. Yeah. For now, let things go
south even a little bit when it comes to these files,
and watch how quick Trump abandons Comber too. For Comer,
there is another reason to endear himself to the President
with this investigation. He's eyeing a bid to succeed Governor
Andy Basheer in a state where Trump's endorsement could have
(23:05):
significant influence. Comer said in the interview people were encouraging
him to run, and he has been traveling statewide ahead
of the potential race. He suspects Epstein will not be
a major issue in the campaign, but his frequent TV
hits discussing his investigative work have given him the opportunity
to speak with the Kentucky voters. He noted, it's all
(23:28):
about themselves. It's all about self, isn't it. It's all
about the next gig. Oh. I don't want to be
a congressman anymore. I'm going to become a mayor. I'm
going to become a governor. Here's an idea, Why don't
we become a fucking fry chef. You might be good
at that, because this politics stuff, you're not very good
at it, mister comer. He said he has not spoken
(23:50):
to the White House about the Epstein probe, and when
asked how he suspects Trump views the probe, Comer said,
I don't want to know. Probably, Ah, he doesn't want
to know. Probably what a coward. And really that's all
of them in a nutshell. But mister comer over here
isn't going to give us the truth. And then at
the same time he has the audacity to blame you
(24:11):
and I for daring to ask for it. So here
it is, James. Nobody believes you because you earn that
disbelief the same way a con artist earns handcuffs through
repetition and arrogance. You stand there with your crocodile tears
and your trembling voice, acting like the victim of some
national misunderstanding, when really you're just pissed at the American
(24:32):
people finally stop being your audience and started being your judge.
You're not a truth teller. You're a political mall cop
with a plastic badge, screaming about authority while the real
criminals sprint out the emergency exit. You're mad that the
lights came on and everybody saw the strings hanging off
the puppet show you've been running for years. Every time
you promise justice and deliver dust, you dig your own
(24:55):
credibility grave a little deeper. Every time you pretend to
fight for accountability and instead take a quiet nap on
the job, you bury yourself another foot. And now that
the coffin lid is shut tight, you're pounding from the inside,
begging us to believe you. Nope, not gonna do it,
because at the end of the day, the real reason
nobody trust James Comer, Congress or any of the political
(25:17):
parasites sucking the bloodstream of this country dry isn't because
we're irrational. It's because we're awake. We've watched you protect
elites while lecturing the public. We've watched you bury the
truth while claiming transparency. We've watched the powerful skate every
single time while you take victory laps for nothing. And
now you want to cry that the public lost faith.
(25:38):
That's like a serial cheater weeping that his wife change
the locks. You did that chap. You earned every ounce
of this contempt. So take your report, print it on
gold leaf, wrap it in a velvet ribbon, and parade
it around like the Holy Grel. It won't change a
damn thing. The era of blindly worshiping politicians is dead, cremated,
and scattered over the Potomac. We don't need another committee,
(26:01):
another binder, another photo op, another speech, another investigative orgasm
that ends with no climax. We need results, We need consequences.
We need heads on pikes, legally, publicly, relentlessly. Until then,
you're just another dude in a cheap suit trying to
sell a broken product to a country that finally learned
to say no. Why don't you put that in your report, James.
