1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: The Trump administration has missed another deadline as it relates

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: to the Epstein files, and at this point, I think

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: they've pretty much dropped the facade that they care or

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: that they're going to follow through. And you've got to

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: keep asking yourself why. At this point, it's ken a

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: Casey show. I'm rob Ethan's in for Casey today.

7
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: Well, I was going to say, more importantly, who who

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: is in these files that they want to protect?

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: So the Daily Beast, amongst others, is covering this, and

10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: yes they're a left website, but the facts are the

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: facts is that, you know, we've gotten so focused now

12
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: on Venezuela over the past week that the Epstein stuff

13
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: has kind of taken a back burner, but it is

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: important it will surface back again once Venezuela, you know,

15
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: dies down. And the members of Congress are alleging that

16
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: the Justice Department failed to submit a report to Congress

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: that was required by law, and that it did not

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: include the list of government officials and politically what the

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: quote is all government officials and politically exposed persons named

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: or referenced in the release materials without reactions Because a

21
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: big part of these files that got released is they're

22
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: all blacked out, some pages or entire pages of blackout right,

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: which is completely completely ridiculous.

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: Right, that's not a release. If you black out all

25
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: the pertinent information, then you're not releasing the information. It's

26
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: so cartoonish. It's disappointing, but also entirely expected. At this point.

27
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: Now Schumer and the Democrats, they're still trying to make

28
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: hay out of this. Don't kid yourself. The Democrats don't

29
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: care at all about Epstein or the files or the victims.

30
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: If they did, they would have released it when they

31
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: had full control of the government from twenty what twenty

32
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: to twenty two through twenty two, they had full control

33
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: of the federal government. So you don't kid your something.

34
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: You know, those Democrats they really care. They don't. But

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: just because the Democrats are disingenuous clowns doesn't mean you

36
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: shouldn't care. And you should because for some reason, which

37
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: is a really big deal, Donald Trump will not follow

38
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: through on one of his core campaign promises, which is

39
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: to release everything related to Jeffrey Epstein.

40
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 2: And he flip flopped on that immediately after taking office

41
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 2: because it went from a full an immediate release of

42
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 2: the Epstein files to calling it a Democrat hoax and

43
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 2: a fabrication.

44
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: And what's interesting is the day of the deadline for

45
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: these responses without redactions, which are supposed to be handed over,

46
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: was the day the US carried out the strike on Venezuela. Now,

47
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: look are you are you suggesting that that isn't merely

48
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: coincidence saying that's and you know, the reality is we've

49
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: largely stopped for the past several days talking about Jeffrey Epstein.

50
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: Now again, it will come back. This is not a

51
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: story that's going to is going to be just you know,

52
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 1: forgotten about. It's gonna it's one of these stories that Willkatinia.

53
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: When the news lulls, this will will peek back up.

54
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: But what's fascinating is that apparently it's come out that

55
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: in total, there were five point two million pages of

56
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: documents related to Epstein. The government is sitting on five

57
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: point two mil or was sitting on five point two

58
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: million pages of documents. And the one of the issues

59
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: that they were having, or they were claiming that they

60
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: were having, is that they were having trouble hiring four

61
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: hundred lawyers to sort through these documents. That's how much,

62
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: so we're led to this and this really puts in

63
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: perspective how ridiculous it is that they're trying to act

64
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: like he was sex trafficking to no one. The guy

65
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: was such a big deal that they had the government

66
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: had five point two million pages of documents on him,

67
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: so much inform that they're having to hire four hundred

68
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: lawyers to sort through them, and we're supposed to believe

69
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: he was some sort of one man band.

70
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: Well, I think Mike Johnson, speaker Mike Johnson kind of

71
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: gave away the game when he said that if the

72
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: files were to be released without reaction, that it would

73
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 2: pose a serious risk to the integrity of government. What

74
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: what exactly did he mean by that? Who all is

75
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: involved in this?

76
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I yeah, and and this is and this

77
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: is the problem that Trump is going to keep running into.

78
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: Which is and it's so interesting how one of the

79
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: things I think our show does pretty well as we

80
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: draw interesting parallel. So I want to come back to

81
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: a story we talked about earlier today, which is the

82
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,679
Speaker 1: tom This Grand jury that appears to be looking into

83
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: Thomas Carl Cook, the former deputy mayor Deputy mayor chief

84
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: of staff for Joe, howgseet and how they're right like

85
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: sex cells and we're gonna get to this with a

86
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: duel later. Who's going to join us? Who's who's covering this?

87
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: Where people are really interested in, Hey, this total totally

88
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: inappropriate workplace behavior with these women who were subordinates of

89
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: his right. So that's what everybody's like, that's the story.

90
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: Because sex sells. Some people are focused on that, and

91
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they shouldn't be focused on it. But

92
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: when it's all said and done, much like with the

93
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: Beckwith investigation, where the AI porn is what drew people

94
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: to the story the most, the most relevant part of what,

95
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: in the case of Thomas Carl Cook the grand jury's

96
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: looking into, could be these contracts that his clients were

97
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: getting that were being in part funneled to them by

98
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: a woman he was engaged in a relationship with. And

99
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: that may be the thing that becomes the most relevant

100
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: or interesting thing, don't know. It's up for other people

101
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: to decide. Same thing with Mica beck With. Everybody's talking

102
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: about the grand jury looking into the AI porn allegations

103
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: when it could end up being the ghost employment stuff,

104
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: which they're also looking into amongst what could be other

105
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: things could end up being the most interesting part all

106
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: of this. To be said, everybody is focused on Jeffrey

107
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: Epstein and Epstein this and Epstein that, but the reality isn't.

108
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: What matters most of what everybody should be focusing on

109
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: is who was he engaging with. We know this guy

110
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: was a monster, right, we know he did this to

111
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: these women. It's not in dispute, But the thing that

112
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 1: will matter most is who was he engaged with and why.

113
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: Until we get to that, this story is not going

114
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: to go away.

115
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 2: But I think the reality of the situation Robins. Somebody

116
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: in the YouTube commentary also said this as well. We

117
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: probably will never know the full details of the Epstein

118
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 2: files if we haven't had the information released at this point.

119
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 2: The Democrats were uninterested. Of course, Donald Trump has flip

120
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 2: flopped on the issue. Who is going to be the

121
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 2: honest broker that is elected to office to blow the

122
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 2: lid on this, And you got to think all the people,

123
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: these four hundred lawyers that have had their eyeballs on

124
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 2: this at various and so many things in the government

125
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: are leaked, They're leaked to the press, they're leaked outside.

126
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: But there. The lid has been sealed tight on this.

127
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: Uh okay, so let's pivot out of this. And by

128
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: the way, this is not gonna go away. The difference

129
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: is now it's Trump, so the media will not let

130
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: it go away.
