Jon Decker discusses upcoming vote to release the Epstein files

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
John Decker joining us now our White House correspondent, John,
Welcome in, Happy Monday.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's good to be with you, JT. Thanks for having
me on today. Always appreciate it. I hope you had
a great weekend.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Excellent weekend, excellent weekend. So the President has changed his
mind just a little bit on what's going on with
the Epstein files and has said, all right, let's go
release them. I don't care. I mean what everybody's I mean,
I can't tell you how many Democrat friends of mine
and family are texting me all kinds of stuff over
the weekend. Why isn't he releasing them? Now? What's he hiding?

(00:31):
I'm calm down and call him down. And then what
was it yesterday? He said, all right, let's go none
to see here.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, you know this is a reversal because you last
week you had the President, as you know, lobbying some Republicans,
including Lauren Bobert, not to sign that discharge petition. He
was lobbying Marjorie Taylor Green, he was lobbying Nancy Grace
to take their names off that discharge petition. That petition
would force a vote on the House floor concerning the

(00:58):
DOJ releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files. And here we are
complete reversal, because the President put out on social media
last night around nine to fifteen Eastern time that he
wants Republicans to now support the measure that will be
voted on tomorrow in the House concerning the DOJ releasing
the Jeffrey Epstein files. And I think the President, to

(01:20):
a certain extent, stall the writing on the wall. Dozens
upon dozens of his own allies, his Republican allies, were
saying publicly they were going to support this measure once
it comes before the House floor.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah, I'm totally on board with this. I think seventy
percent of Republicans are on board as well. I know
most of the American people are like, yeah, well, what's
the problem if there's nothing here to say, let's see
the nothing release them. So what happened John with the President?
What changed his mind? You said the writing on the wall,
But if there was nothing there to begin with, why

(01:54):
would he push back on it to even start the
argument that well, what are you trying to hunt?

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Well, I can't think of another issue, JT. Maybe you can,
in which the President seemed at odds with his own party.
This was one of those issues, and you don't want
to be on the losing end of any issue with
your MAGA base. So the President, I think, you know,
it's doing the right thing in the sense that these
materials should be seen, they should be released. And I

(02:20):
think at the same time, as a social media post indicated,
and I agree with him, if there was something that
the Democrats had on Donald Trump concerning the Jeffrey Epstein files,
wouldn't it have come out before the twenty twenty four election.
The President has said this publicly many times. He put
it in a social media post last night, and I
think there's some truth to what the President's saying there

(02:41):
in that post that he put out last evening.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, one hundred percent. I mean it came to the
point people call him President Trump. Oh, so you support
a pedophile. I'm like, no, I don't support a pedophile.
If Donald Trump was one of the people having sex
with underage girls on the Epstein Island, he should be
out of the office and you're arrested and convicted and charged.
I mean the whole thing. If anybody is, you know,

(03:04):
outed on this whole thing, well let the chips fall
where they may I mean, if you're involved with miners
on an Epstein island, you know ick, I mean yeah,
hold them, hold them accountable, all of them. But you're right.
The Democrats had the files too, so that would have
been front and center topic number one. We're going to
kill President Trump's chances of getting back into the White House. Voila,

(03:27):
here's the Epstein files with pictures and letters and proof
that he was in fact involved in all that crap. Nope,
never came out. So yeah, I'm going to try and
get a hold of Congressman Gary Palmer a little bit
later on this issue as well. John Decker, thank you, buddy,
I sure do appreciate you. We shall see how the
vote goes this week.
