Speaker 1: All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all
Speaker 1: of you for being with us. Right down our toll
Speaker 1: free telephone number if you want to be a part
Speaker 1: of the program. As always, there is plenty of news
Speaker 1: that is going on. We'll get to some of this
Speaker 1: layer an incredible Oval Office presser with Keir Starmer, who
Speaker 1: is the British Prime Minister and President Trump and covering
Speaker 1: a wide variety of topics.
Speaker 2: It was so good.
Speaker 1: I think we're going to play a lot of it
Speaker 1: coming up later in the show. We just have so
Speaker 1: much news that is breaking today now. I want to
Speaker 1: be very clear as we begin. I guess phase one,
Speaker 1: if you will, or part one of the Epstein files
Speaker 1: are now. They're out there and are being released. I've
Speaker 1: had a conversation with Marshall Blackburn, and Marshall Blackburn has
Speaker 1: been one of the loudest voices of people that have
Speaker 1: been looking for these files to be opened. She's been
Speaker 1: very critical of the FBI. I apparently the FBI has
Speaker 1: video footage and IRS records, and she believes the FBI
Speaker 1: is thwarted again. The FBI under Biden and Harris, the
Speaker 1: effort to be transparent and the saddest part of this
Speaker 1: is these files today reveal two hundred and fifty four
Speaker 1: what they believe to be two hundred and fifty four
Speaker 1: victims quote messuses, some of them they believe underage, and
Speaker 1: those names will be redacted obviously and rightly. So now
Speaker 1: we have known a lot about names that have been
Speaker 1: mentioned and people that have been associated with Epstein for
Speaker 1: a long time, like Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Prince Andrew.
Speaker 1: You know, remember President Trump. Yeah, there's a picture of
Speaker 1: President Trump from years and years ago with Epstein. But
Speaker 1: when he became a member of mar A Lago and
Speaker 1: he found out how he was treating people, he threw
Speaker 1: him out of the club, uh and and wanted nothing
Speaker 1: to do with him. This guy seems on every level
Speaker 1: to have been somebody that wants to be around wealthy
Speaker 1: and famous people. And so I think it's very important
Speaker 1: that you understand that what Pam Bondi is doing, she's
Speaker 1: releasing flight logs, a lot of names, et cetera. And
Speaker 1: basically this will will be a first step in terms
Speaker 1: of creating a roadmap where law enforcement and includes law
Speaker 1: enforcement notes as well as my understanding, so that they
Speaker 1: can take this and find out how deep this, this
Speaker 1: this whole corrupt you know, sex trafficking scandal goes, and
Speaker 1: who might be involved and who may not be involved.
Speaker 1: And when you hear you know names, you know you've
Speaker 1: got to Also. One of the things that I think
Speaker 1: has been signature in the show, and I kind of
Speaker 1: said this in this media interview that I did, is
Speaker 1: on this show, we don't rush to judgment. Just because
Speaker 1: somebody flew on Jeffrey Epstein's plane does not mean that
Speaker 1: they're guilty of anything. The only thing I would argue,
Speaker 1: and everybody is presumed innocent, you don't rush to judgment.
Speaker 1: We're not going to do that here. However, the good
Speaker 1: news is with the release of names, I would like
Speaker 1: to think that if the people whose names, some of
Speaker 1: which I will mention to you that you know again,
Speaker 1: you give them the presumption of innocence, I hope they
Speaker 1: will be cooperative with the FBI and with Attorney General
Speaker 1: Pam Bondi and give up whatever information that they have.
Speaker 1: It is I think it is critical, especially when you're
Speaker 1: talking about victims and underage victims, and the numbers that
Speaker 1: we're talking about now sex trafficking is one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty billion dollars a year business. There are that many sick, ugly, evil,
Speaker 1: twisted people in the world. So I think that everybody
Speaker 1: that that maybe Epstein worked his way into their world
Speaker 1: are guilty. I do not, but you know, I think
Speaker 1: they do owe it to the end. They don't know
Speaker 1: what to the public if they don't want to. I know,
Speaker 1: if it was me, I would want it out there
Speaker 1: and say, the guy said he was flying the same
Speaker 1: place I was flying, so I took a ride and
Speaker 1: I was playing big deal.
Speaker 2: That would not be a big deal.
Speaker 1: But you know, I noticed that Mayor Bloomberg's name is
Speaker 1: in today's first file. Do I think Mayor Bloomberg is
Speaker 1: was involved with Epstein? I have no way of knowing.
Speaker 1: My gut tells me no. I have no idea. Or
Speaker 1: Ellie Wizzelle or Naomi Campbell or Angie Dickinson or Alec Baldwin,
Speaker 1: They're all presumed innocent, and everybody needs to understand that.
Speaker 1: I think people expected today, you know, big big bombshells.
Speaker 1: The New York Post put out earlier today that they're
Speaker 1: really aren't big bombshells here. But what we are learning
Speaker 1: is the extent. I mean, you had former President Clinton,
Speaker 1: Bill Gates, Prince Andrew who his career ended up ending
Speaker 1: in disgrace, and some other people and all of this information.
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll get to the bottom of it. We never got
Speaker 1: to the bottom. This is phase one and there's going
Speaker 1: to be other phases and other information that will be
Speaker 1: public and over time, hopefully a full picture will emerge,
Speaker 1: and hopefully those people that have had contact with him,
Speaker 1: and that contact now in full transparencies being released. Hopefully
Speaker 1: many of them that were not and never would have
Speaker 1: been involved in anything like this can cooperate. It is
Speaker 1: obvious that this guy, there is a word for that, Linda,
Speaker 1: but you can't say it on TV. This guy love
Speaker 1: to be around rich and famous people. There's no doubt
Speaker 1: about that part. But the idea that it's that extensive
Speaker 1: should scare everybody, and anybody with a heart and a
Speaker 1: soul I think would want to be helpful in getting
Speaker 1: to the bottom of what they knew, when they knew it,
Speaker 1: what they saw, you know, at any point where they
Speaker 1: ever alarmed, And hopefully and then I'd like to know
Speaker 1: what happened, you know, with this suicide when he hung
Speaker 1: himself from a bed that was low to the ground
Speaker 1: and the cameras just happened to be not working that day,
Speaker 1: and the prison guards just weren't working at that moment.
Speaker 1: It seems a little too convenient for me. But do
Speaker 1: I know anything for sure? I do not, And we
Speaker 1: don't want to get over our skis, and we won't
Speaker 1: get over our skis. So anyway, we'll get into this more.
Speaker 1: We'll check in with Elena Habba coming up, one source said.
Speaker 1: The person said the unveiling would be a disappointment to
Speaker 1: sleuths that are eager for bombshell new evidence about the
Speaker 1: you know, the billionaire psycho connection to prominent political and
Speaker 1: business leaders. Anyway, the client list included is in the
Speaker 1: initial release, which was compiled compiled into binders described as
Speaker 1: Phase one of the Epstein files.
Speaker 2: Copies of the binder circulated.
Speaker 1: I just believe in transparency and what they do with
Speaker 1: it from there is going to be part of what
Speaker 1: the DOJ and the FBI hopefully we'll get to the
Speaker 1: bottom of and you know, hopefully these girls can get justice.
Speaker 1: And if you have any information, or if anybody has
Speaker 1: any information, they have to make sure the identity is
Speaker 1: protected in their personal information. Of the two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty four victims that we're talking about here, as if
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice would release a list of the
Speaker 1: clients it's sitting on my desk. Now, that's that's been
Speaker 1: a directive of President Trump. You know, still nobody really
Speaker 1: knew what this guy did for work. We just knew
Speaker 1: that he was filthy rich. Of course, the Lolita Express
Speaker 1: and everything else that has been public now for a
Speaker 1: long time, and hopefully soon thereafter we'll get to the bottom.
Speaker 1: We'll get the release of the JFK files, the RFK files,
Speaker 1: the MLK files. Why has all of this been hidden
Speaker 1: from the public since the nineteen sixties. Tell me, tell
Speaker 1: me why that makes sense in any way, And the
Speaker 1: answer is obvious, it does not. Trump's Education Department is
Speaker 1: investigating civil rights violations ignored by Joe Biden. Nearly one
Speaker 1: hundred anti Semitic violence and harassment cases not resolved under
Speaker 1: the Biden administration. Almost seventy of them occurred after the
Speaker 1: Hamas attack on Israel and related to elementary secondary post
Speaker 1: secondary schools. According to the Trump Department of Education, they
Speaker 1: announced these investigations, which I'm glad this cabinet meeting has
Speaker 1: gone very very viral from yesterday and that the government
Speaker 1: shrinking efforts will now go all across government. Will get
Speaker 1: into more detail on that, and achieving a trillion dollar
Speaker 1: debt reduction requires savings of four billion dollars a day
Speaker 1: from now until the end of September, and Elon must
Speaker 1: saying that we can get that done. The President went
Speaker 1: into great specificity in detail today about what is emerging
Speaker 1: as a deal. He doesn't want to go in his case,
Speaker 1: get over his skis either there hasn't been a deal made.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Everybody in the media would like for President Trump to
Speaker 1: start calling either Zelensky or putin names and assert blame, etc. Well,
Speaker 1: first steps first, Zelenski will be at the White House
Speaker 1: Tomorrow is going to be the establishment of this US
Speaker 1: Ukraine Mineral Fund. The President emphasized with the British Prime
Speaker 1: Minister today that that will mean that there is going
Speaker 1: to be a US presidence there. You know from Emmanuel
Speaker 1: Macrone that they're willing to put troops inside of Ukraine
Speaker 1: to help with the safety, security and rebuilding efforts. The
Speaker 1: mineral deal will also be a fifty to fifty deal.
Speaker 1: We're going to help America is going to help with
Speaker 1: its technology to extract these rare earth minerals, and that
Speaker 1: would first pay back America for all the money and
Speaker 1: the weaponry that was given to Ukraine over time. But
Speaker 1: more importantly, it will give money to Ukraine to allow
Speaker 1: them a time and effort to rebuild. I do believe
Speaker 1: that the US will maintain maximum you know, recognize as
Speaker 1: US gave Ukraine a significant financial contribution. I mean it
Speaker 1: almost became a proxy war. But anyway that there is
Speaker 1: an agreement on the rare earth mineral deal, which means
Speaker 1: that Ukraine in the United States will be closer than
Speaker 1: they've ever been. And then of course Europe has to
Speaker 1: do their part to protect their continent. The Poland is
Speaker 1: scrambling air defenses as Russia strikes western Ukraine and the
Speaker 1: US is flying nuclear capable B fifty two bombers off
Speaker 1: of Russian borders on the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine.
Speaker 1: Does Donald Trump want an escalation of the war? No,
Speaker 1: we all anyone with a brain wants war in Europe
Speaker 1: and war in the Middle East to come to an end.
Speaker 1: Are two things happening simultaneously. Russia's economy is suffering and
Speaker 1: Gordon Chang made an interesting observation to John Solomon's just
Speaker 1: Thenews dot Com that China's espionage activity against the US,
Speaker 1: as well as the country's business and economic policies, are
Speaker 1: designed to weaken what Beijing sees as their chief rival.
Speaker 1: The American people need to understand the nature of the challenge.
Speaker 1: China wants to take down the US because they believe
Speaker 1: we are an existential threat. And Chang told just the
Speaker 1: News that China's reported economic growth of five percent is
Speaker 1: probably inflated and that President Chi and his refusal to
Speaker 1: rely on domestic consumption means that there is a potential
Speaker 1: for tariffs that would have a significant effect. And Donald
Speaker 1: Trump addressed the issue of a reciprocal tariffs once again
Speaker 1: today and that is going to be a big component
Speaker 1: in preventing countries from taking advantage of US. We had
Speaker 1: a caller from Canada the other day, and I want
Speaker 1: to be friends with Canada. I like Canada, but if
Speaker 1: the people of Canada, you know, rely on the United
Speaker 1: States for the bulk of their national security and defense,
Speaker 1: and then they're not paying their fair share to NATO,
Speaker 1: and they're not doing enough to control their borders and
Speaker 1: stop the influx of illegal immigrants and drugs into our country,
Speaker 1: then they're not being good neighbors. And the idea that
Speaker 1: America is even giving them, you know, billions of dollars
Speaker 1: on an annual basis. Why are we giving them billions
Speaker 1: of dollars? Why did they have tariffs on a lot
Speaker 1: of American products like dairy and you know, agriculture and poultry,
Speaker 1: et cetera. They won't allow American seeds to be imported
Speaker 1: into their country. Why why are they putting tariffs on
Speaker 1: our products? I mean, the idea if you want if
Speaker 1: you believe in free and fair trade, then you believe
Speaker 1: in free and fair trade. It's really that simple anyway.
Speaker 1: So we're going to get into all of that. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of coverage today of Gene Hackman and his
Speaker 1: wife have been found dead. I'm not exactly sure what's
Speaker 1: going on there. Anyway, we got a lot of ground
Speaker 1: to cover today. We will cover it all. We will
Speaker 1: also get in your calls. Eight hundred and ninety four one,
Speaker 1: Shawn is our number. Look at all the they keep
Speaker 1: finding Trump's hut. Secretary Scott Turner announced that he was
Speaker 1: eliminating costly Obama and Biden era federal zoning rules that
Speaker 1: Trump worn would destroy suburban neighborhoods. The affirmatively the affirmatively
Speaker 1: furthering fair housing rule conditioned millions of dollars worth of
Speaker 1: community block grants from hud on the completion of a
Speaker 1: lengthy demographic analysis. To get money, localities had to certify
Speaker 1: that there were no disparities by ray, religion, sex, nationality, disability,
Speaker 1: and it goes on and on and on, and basically
Speaker 1: his racial quotas as far as I interpret it and.
Speaker 2: The New York Post interpreted it.
Speaker 1: Lee Zelden says over one thousand employees have already left
Speaker 1: the agency. He thinks he can cut the EPA by
Speaker 1: sixty five percent in terms of hiring. Trump is ordering
Speaker 1: a thirty day freeze on government credit cards spending, which
Speaker 1: is great. This comes a week after DOZE discovered nearly
Speaker 1: forty billion in spending last year linked to issued plastic
Speaker 1: to employees. The Biden Treasury Department admitted they sent at
Speaker 1: least thirty one million dollars in social Security checks to
Speaker 1: dead people. Thirty one million. Oh, no need for Doze.
Speaker 1: The Trump State Department has identified sixty billion dollars in
Speaker 1: grants that could be eliminated. Thank goodness, John Roberts stopped
Speaker 1: this court order on foreign payments by a lower Biden
Speaker 1: appointed judge.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just unbelievable.
Speaker 1: But in this case, Trump State Department completed their review
Speaker 1: of US foreign aid. And this is under Marco Rubio,
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand dollars worth of grand sixty million dollars for elimination.
Speaker 1: And it's all the same crap, all right, twenty five
Speaker 1: now till the top of the hour, eight hundred and
Speaker 1: nine to four one. Shawn is on number. If you
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. I'd love
Speaker 1: to cook, if I find it relaxing. I cook every meal.
Speaker 1: I'm very Keto friendly, mostly meat and eggs. By the way,
Speaker 1: price eggs are going up, although the Agricultural Secretary did
Speaker 1: say that they are coming up of the plan for
Speaker 1: at least in the short term to import eggs because
Speaker 1: this is more related not to inflation but the ABM
Speaker 1: flu issue. But I love to cook. I love to
Speaker 1: cook meat, I love to cook fish. I love to
Speaker 1: cook it all. I started as a cook in a
Speaker 1: restaurant I was thirteen. I wish I had chef. I
Speaker 1: Q since I wouldn't have made as many mistakes as
Speaker 1: I did, but I was learning, and I learned pretty well.
Speaker 1: It's such great technology, and it ensures that whatever you're cooking,
Speaker 1: if you're cooking steaks and burgers and chicken and pork
Speaker 1: chops and pork ribs and fish, it'll come out to
Speaker 1: your preferred outcome every single time, no matter how you
Speaker 1: cook it. You can cook it in a deep friary,
Speaker 1: grill it roasted, bake it broil, it doesn't matter. It'll
Speaker 1: come out to your preferred outcome. You simply take a
Speaker 1: wireless probe. That's all it is. Is like a toothpick,
Speaker 1: a little thicker than a toothpick. You put it in
Speaker 1: your food. Then you go to the chef iq app,
Speaker 1: the easiest app you've ever opened in your life. It'll
Speaker 1: tell you when to turn your meat over. It'll tell
Speaker 1: you when your meat is done, and it stops and
Speaker 1: ends all confusion, eliminates all risk, and every meal you
Speaker 1: cook will be served with confidence. Your friends, your neighbors,
Speaker 1: your family, they're all going to think that you went
Speaker 1: to culinary school. You're going to be such a great chef.
Speaker 1: They're all going to want you to cook and you're
Speaker 1: gonna enjoy doing it because you're going to be the
Speaker 1: perfect cook, the master chef. Anyway, it's very inexpensive. You
Speaker 1: find it at chefiq dot com. Mention my name, Hannity
Speaker 1: and you get a fifteen percent discount. But I wish
Speaker 1: I'd thought of this product, I really do. Is that amazing?
Speaker 2: Anyway? Anything anyone there, Linda or.
Speaker 3: No, they will be her momentarily.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred nine four one Shawn is a number if
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. Alena
Speaker 1: Hobb is gonna check in with us. We're gonna get
Speaker 1: an update from her on the Epstein file Phase one
Speaker 1: release from earlier today, and again I want to put
Speaker 1: emphasis on we don't rush to judgment. Just because somebody's
Speaker 1: name is mentioned as having flown on the plane or
Speaker 1: whatever does not mean that they knew or were guilty
Speaker 1: of anything. It just gives it gives the FBI and
Speaker 1: the dj a roadmap, hopefully to learn more information to
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of what they have identified in
Speaker 1: this Phase one report today two hundred and fifty four,
Speaker 1: what they believe to be victims, what they're calling victims,
Speaker 1: and get to the bottom of it. I mean I
Speaker 1: would hope we can, you know, agree that that's a
Speaker 1: good thing. But it doesn't mean just because somebody's name
Speaker 1: is on it that they're guilty of anything. This guy
Speaker 1: seems like he was obsessed with celebrity and obsessed with money.
Speaker 2: That's the one takeaway.
Speaker 1: And in the course of my life, I have noticed
Speaker 1: that there are people, Yeah, you kind of figure out
Speaker 1: over time. M maybe they really only like me because
Speaker 1: I am a public figure.
Speaker 2: I've had that happen. Linda, You've seen that happen.
Speaker 1: We've discussed that many times, number of times, and it's frustrating.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just try to be nice to everybody and.
Speaker 2: Be a good christ. That was your first mistake. Why
Speaker 2: being nice as a first Are you backsliding again?
Speaker 4: See?
Speaker 3: The unique thing about me is that I actually stay
Speaker 3: in one spot, you know, like I get listen, I
Speaker 3: think the president's doing a great job. He's being nice
Speaker 3: to everybody. I wouldn't be nice to this Prime minister,
Speaker 3: not for one second.
Speaker 1: And well, I mean, you know, I know everybody wants
Speaker 1: him to just like drop bombs on everyone one's head
Speaker 1: all the time.
Speaker 3: Well, actually JD Evans did do it. I have to
Speaker 3: give to JD some credit.
Speaker 1: I did see JD talked about the freedom of speech restrictions. Uh,
Speaker 1: and we'll get to this and play some of it later.
Speaker 1: But the freedom of speech restrictions in Europe and how
Speaker 1: it does impact American companies. I mean, they have free
Speaker 1: speech laws all over Europe now and it's it's gotten insane,
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy. Anyway, we welcome our friend Alena Hamba back
Speaker 1: to the program. I thought, at one point you said, now, Sean,
Speaker 1: I'm not going into the White House.
Speaker 2: Now you went in.
Speaker 1: You remember saying that to me, right, You're one percent correct.
Speaker 4: I said that famously.
Speaker 1: But I will tell you because when I was there
Speaker 1: to interview the president in the Oval office, I got
Speaker 1: to see you and Dan Scavino in Scavino's office, and
Speaker 1: it is really great to know that people like yourself
Speaker 1: and Dan and everybody there. I don't I'm going to
Speaker 1: miss a million names that you guys are there, and
Speaker 1: that you do it at you know, great personal cost
Speaker 1: and sacrifice financially and an opportunity costs and the expense
Speaker 1: of maintaining two homes in many cases, and up rooting
Speaker 1: your kids and sending them to the new schools.
Speaker 2: It's hard to do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm actually away from my kids, and that adds
Speaker 4: another layer of it. But it is the ultimate sacrifice.
Speaker 4: It is really not the ultimate sacrifice, but it is
Speaker 4: a sacrifice that I am proud to be endeavoring on.
Speaker 4: And you're right. I told you many times at Mari Lago.
Speaker 4: I remember selling right right like you said it. I said, Sean,
Speaker 4: I'm not going in. I'm going to go to the
Speaker 4: keeping the private sector. And you said, okay, I'm a here.
Speaker 4: I am famous last words. But it's so nice.
Speaker 1: I kind of suspected you might. He's pretty persuasive. You
Speaker 1: gotta admit, if you know him personally, he is very persuasive.
Speaker 4: The art of the deal, the art of the deal, Sean,
Speaker 4: It's funny. I haven't spoken about this, but I remember
Speaker 4: I thought Susie archiefs of staff at Marijuaga. One evening,
Speaker 4: they were doing transition meetings and I was having dinner
Speaker 4: with my family and she caught me in the lobby
Speaker 4: of the club and said, Alena can go in and
Speaker 4: speak to the president. And I said why, She said,
Speaker 4: just go in and speak to the president. And I
Speaker 4: walk in and there's screens everywhere the transition teams sitting there,
Speaker 4: you know, Howard Lutnik was there and many other members,
Speaker 4: and the President looked at me and he said, so,
Speaker 4: what are you going to do in the White House?
Speaker 4: And I said, no, sir, I'm not going. And he
Speaker 4: said and why are you not going? And I gave
Speaker 4: him my reasons, and he said, so what are you
Speaker 4: going to do for me in the White House? And
Speaker 4: it was you know, you're negotiating with the best negotiator.
Speaker 4: But it was a blessing. Everything he's pushed me to
Speaker 4: do has been so tremendous, and I just hope I
Speaker 4: can give this country one ounce of what they deserve
Speaker 4: in my time here.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm sure you will.
Speaker 1: I mean the fact that there were different times I'd
Speaker 1: interview you and it looked dire with dealing with the
Speaker 1: law fair and the weaponization and all these different cases,
Speaker 1: and you and other attorneys were juggling them all, and
Speaker 1: I remember, you know, I'd expressed to you my concerns
Speaker 1: about that. I really feel he put it all on
Speaker 1: the line in terms of this. It was either the
Speaker 1: White House or they would have tried to put him
Speaker 1: in jail, and I think they probably would have been successful.
Speaker 1: Do you think I'm wrong?
Speaker 4: No, I think you and I had some of the
Speaker 4: most frank conversations. That's why I value our friendship. But
Speaker 4: we always were very honest with each other throughout the
Speaker 4: last four years of hell. And really there is no
Speaker 4: other way than excite. It was war. It was a
Speaker 4: different kind of war, but it was war, and we
Speaker 4: were fighting for his safety, for the American people, for
Speaker 4: our country, and for his family and his livelihood, of course,
Speaker 4: but it affected such a bigger thing. Mistakes were so high,
Speaker 4: and there were days that you would ask me how
Speaker 4: it looked in the courtroom when you couldn't be there yourself,
Speaker 4: and you were for many you know, supporting us every
Speaker 4: single day. But I was always honest with you. I said,
Speaker 4: I don't know, I'm nervous, I'm worried. And you know,
Speaker 4: you can know you have a perfect case. You could
Speaker 4: know your client did nothing wrong. But we were hailed
Speaker 4: into the worst states, in the worst ags and the
Speaker 4: worst das. We had DOJ officials coming in fighting against us,
Speaker 4: and it is a blessing. And I think that's why
Speaker 4: the energy here is so tremendous, and that's why it
Speaker 4: was kind of an easy ask. I thought back, and
Speaker 4: I remember talking to my family and saying, I'm not
Speaker 4: sure what to do. But when the president asks you
Speaker 4: to serve, and I serve at the pleasure of the
Speaker 4: President for the American people, you do so. And you know,
Speaker 4: you can say you're a patriot all you want. You
Speaker 4: can fight the fight. But when it comes time to
Speaker 4: really put in the work as we did the last
Speaker 4: four years and we're about to do for the next
Speaker 4: four there is no better example than President Trump. I mean,
Speaker 4: the man's been through true hell true, I mean it
Speaker 4: really has been.
Speaker 1: I want to transition a little bit into this phase
Speaker 1: one of the Epstein Files, but I do want to
Speaker 1: set up a caveat One of the signature reasons for
Speaker 1: I believe for the success of the show is that
Speaker 1: we don't rush to judgment, and we wait for all
Speaker 1: the facts to come in, and we do believe in
Speaker 1: the presumption of innocence before being proven guilty. When it
Speaker 1: comes to the Epstein case, names have come up in
Speaker 1: the past, like let's see Prince Andrew and who else
Speaker 1: for crying out loud, Bill Clinton and Bill Gates, and
Speaker 1: those names have come up, but it doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: they did anything wrong. So I want to be very
Speaker 1: clear in this phase one what we are discovering in
Speaker 1: what Pam Bondi, an FBI director Cashptello released, shows they
Speaker 1: believe they've identified two hundred and fifty four victims, many
Speaker 1: of them under age. And then there is a list
Speaker 1: of famous people's names on the list, not that they
Speaker 1: have done anything wrong, but they had contact with this
Speaker 1: guy Epstein, including like Alec Baldwin and Mayor Bloomberg, Ellie Wizzelle,
Speaker 1: Naomi Campbell, Angie Dickinson.
Speaker 2: Am I correct in that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're exactly right there, and the American people should
Speaker 4: be very careful of this, and you're absolutely right to
Speaker 4: raise caution. So there were flight logs that were released
Speaker 4: those obviously have names of individuals. We released a list
Speaker 4: of items that have been seized, and we're seized exhibits,
Speaker 4: things of that nature, photograph, but you will not see
Speaker 4: the actual exhibits. Obviously. We are still a Department of Justice,
Speaker 4: still has active cases that they need to pursue, and
Speaker 4: we cannot provide everything. Also for the anonymity of the victims,
Speaker 4: frankly first and foremost, and then there's a rolodex attack,
Speaker 4: things like United airline lines, to security people, any contacts
Speaker 4: that he has, those are really the tranches of the
Speaker 4: first phase of dump. But we did say we would
Speaker 4: we would show it. We have shown it. Nobody should
Speaker 4: be assumed to have been partaking an illegal activity just
Speaker 4: because they're on a list in a rolodex. Of course,
Speaker 4: I mean I have two thousand contacts. That doesn't mean
Speaker 4: that if I do something wrong, they've done something wrong.
Speaker 4: But there's flight logs and information that a lot of
Speaker 4: people wanted to see, and we are transparent. We have
Speaker 4: a Department of Justice that now operates as a Department
Speaker 4: of Justice that will vet and proceed with caution, but
Speaker 4: with vigor.
Speaker 1: And that's the plan, and we'll talk to Marsha Blackburn's
Speaker 1: and pushing very hard for this to be released. If
Speaker 1: nothing else, this guy seems to have sought out people
Speaker 1: that are famous and people that have money. And it's
Speaker 1: not but it's it's not the rush to judgment that
Speaker 1: just because their name shows up that they're on a
Speaker 1: flight log and they flew on his plane, that they've
Speaker 1: done anything wrong in any way, shape, matter or form.
Speaker 1: However they they certainly I would hope would want to
Speaker 1: know when you identify two hundred and fifty four victims,
Speaker 1: and some of them are underage, and you have personal,
Speaker 1: firsthand knowledge of a flight and what you might have
Speaker 1: seen might be valuable information to the FBI because the
Speaker 1: previous FBI under Director Ray, and my understanding is they
Speaker 1: have video footage, I r S records and that the
Speaker 1: FBI previously forwarded the effort to be transparent. And again,
Speaker 1: I'm just looking for those people. I'm just assuming they're innocent,
Speaker 1: and I'm but I but I think it's important for
Speaker 1: the investigation part of it to find out, you know,
Speaker 1: what did they know, what did they see, and you know,
Speaker 1: what was their relationship with them, et cetera. And I'd
Speaker 1: also like to get to the bottom of how he
Speaker 1: committed suicide with a bed that was close to the
Speaker 1: ground the way he did, and why the cameras weren't working,
Speaker 1: why the prison guards that were supposed to be there
Speaker 1: just were mi ia at the time when it was needed.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I agree. Look, lucky for us, Galine is very
Speaker 4: much alive and in prison. I do have questions about
Speaker 4: the way he died, as every American curiosity and skepticism. Frankly,
Speaker 4: like you said, I am not rushing to judge anybody,
Speaker 4: but I do think that we have to do we
Speaker 4: have to go through the process, and we have to
Speaker 4: do so in a way that makes Americans feel safe again,
Speaker 4: makes Americans feel Americans feel like we're not just going
Speaker 4: to target you because you're some rich guy that was
Speaker 4: on a Rolodex, but more importantly, that we are going
Speaker 4: to target when we do find that people were raping minors,
Speaker 4: that we will hold them accountable. That is, there is
Speaker 4: no excuse if that is discovered, if there is an
Speaker 4: evidence to bring a case, I assume that Pam BONDI
Speaker 4: will do.
Speaker 2: So you agree with me, This guy seem like a starchaser.
Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent. Actually, it's funny you said that.
Speaker 4: I read it, and I was like, okay, you know, starchaser.
Speaker 4: Chaser was not the word I used, but yeah, one
Speaker 4: hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Well it's not the one I'm going to use, but
Speaker 1: that I'm using in my head even but you know,
Speaker 1: it is radio and there's an FCC out there that
Speaker 1: would probably find me.
Speaker 4: I find you, shut me down, be canceled. No, the
Speaker 4: reality is yet, No, it actually does appear that way.
Speaker 4: He obviously liked to take photographs of celebrities. We know
Speaker 4: that this guy anybody with a sick thickness like his,
Speaker 4: And really I don't say that to excuse his behavior,
Speaker 4: but this was a sick, sick man anybody, and frankly
Speaker 4: Galaine as well, right there with him, who was brokering
Speaker 4: young children for trafficking, which is actually going to be
Speaker 4: a primary portion of my focus here in the White House,
Speaker 4: in my portfolio. They have a special place in hell
Speaker 4: for people like that. And if you partook in that knowingly,
Speaker 4: and you were going on trips solely for the reason
Speaker 4: or for any part of the reason to have sex
Speaker 4: with miners on an island remotely and think that you
Speaker 4: were going to pay with that, that is not happening
Speaker 4: in this country. But you know him liking famous people, Sure,
Speaker 4: him wanting to hang out with famous people. Sure, we
Speaker 4: see it all the time. It's funny. It's usually people
Speaker 4: with power that like to be around people with more power,
Speaker 4: people with more money, people that can get them photographs.
Speaker 4: And this guy definitely kept a sort of I think,
Speaker 4: look from what I've seen from the paintings hanging in
Speaker 4: his home that we know he had, you know, painting
Speaker 4: of Bill Clinton, an address right in his entry. He
Speaker 4: obviously had a fascination and an infatuation with famous people.
Speaker 1: That's why I say don't rush to judgment, because he
Speaker 1: probably sought them out and then probably those people, you know,
Speaker 1: were impressed that quote, the fact that he had as
Speaker 1: much money as he did. Alena, we do appreciate your time.
Speaker 1: I know you're busy, and man, what what what? What
Speaker 1: a rocking shock in all time. It's Benson's inauguration day,
Speaker 1: and what a great honor it must be for you
Speaker 1: and everybody there to be a part of that history.
Speaker 1: And watching it is just makes me smile every day
Speaker 1: because the alternative was not a good one.
Speaker 2: Uh, Alena Habba, we appreciate you.
Speaker 4: And we've come a long way from the courtroom messages
Speaker 4: we were talking about, so yeah, to be alive.
Speaker 2: Well, so and so says this duror looks favorable.
Speaker 1: And You're like, hell no, and I always said, I
Speaker 1: was like, nope, nope.
Speaker 2: Don't believe it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, anyway, we appreciate Alena Habba eight hundred and
Speaker 1: nine four one Sewan, if you want to be a
Speaker 1: part of the program. Greg Jarrett's take on this when
Speaker 1: we get back all right when we come back, we'll
Speaker 1: get Greg Jared's take on the administration, the Epstein files,
Speaker 1: and much more.
