Well, while they're playing checkers, 59 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 5: Donald Trump is now playing chess. A pretty brilliant move 60 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 5: by President Donald Trump on Friday, he has now directed 61 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 5: the Justice Department to investigate the disgrace late financier Jeffrey 62 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 5: Epstein and his ties to several high profile Democrats as 63 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 5: well as certain banks. The President writing this now that 64 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 5: the Democrats are using the Epstein hoax involving Democrats not Republicans, 65 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 5: to try and deflect from their disastrous government shutdown and 66 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 5: all of their other failures. I will be asking the 67 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 5: Attorney General Pambondi and the Department of Justice, together with 68 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 5: our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's 69 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 5: involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reed Hoffman, 70 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 5: JP Morgan Chase, and many other people and institutions to 71 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 5: determine what was going on with them and him. Trump 72 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 5: writing this on true Social this is another Russia Russia, 73 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 5: Russia scam, with all arrows pointing to the Democrats. He added, 74 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 5: records show that these men and many others spent large 75 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 5: portions of their life with Epstein and on his island. 76 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 5: Stay tuned now. In an earlier post on Friday, Trump 77 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 5: said that Epstein was a Democrat and therefore is the 78 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 5: democrats problem, not the Republican's problem. 79 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: He also accused the. 80 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 5: Democrats of doing everything in their withering power to push 81 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 5: the Epstein hoax again, despite the DOJ releasing more than 82 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 5: fifty thousand pages of documents. Trump said lawmakers should not 83 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 5: waste time looking into him and instead should focus on 84 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 5: the Democrats. He later named in the post, announcing the 85 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 5: pro Democrats, of course, are trying to use this to 86 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 5: hurt the president. What's interesting is if you go back 87 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 5: and look at the history of this. Democrats never gave 88 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 5: a damn a bout the victims. In fact, it's a 89 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 5: point that I brought up on Fox News Channel to 90 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 5: the Democrats face, saying, where were you guys when you 91 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 5: had the power to do something about this. Take a 92 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 5: listen to what I had to say on Abby Phillips 93 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 5: show on CNN. You guys gave us much thought and 94 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 5: much obsession over this when Joe Biden was president. 95 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 2: I wish you were asking for this much transparency. 96 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 5: When it wasn't about attacking the president of the United 97 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 5: States of America and we score political points. I wish 98 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 5: you guys cared about the victims as much as you 99 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 5: care about trying to attack Donald Trump. When CNN's own 100 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 5: reporting says, and I quote the woman who is the 101 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 5: survivor literally accused Democrats, not Republicans, of hiding her name 102 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 5: because she had not alleged. 103 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 2: Trump, Well, you're talking about anything wrong. 104 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 6: You're talking about Virginia grew correct, who we just talked 105 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 6: about you. And my point is she died by it, 106 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 6: Just to be clear, shed. 107 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 5: But that she accused Democrats when she was alive her 108 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 5: words of hiding her name because she had not alleged 109 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 5: Trump to have done anything wrong. That is how sick 110 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 5: and partisan this has become. You guys didn't care about 111 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 5: the victims, You didn't care about anything else. And now 112 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 5: you're saying, well, maybe Donald Trump knew of a crime 113 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 5: and maybe didn't report it. 114 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 2: That's just straight up slander and libel. 115 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 7: You're telling. 116 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: To finish watch the crime. 117 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 6: One thing up because I think this is important. I 118 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 6: don't want this mist information to be out there. When 119 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 6: Virginia Jeffrey said that Trump had not done anything wrong, 120 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 6: she was not accusing the Republicans accused Democrats of withholding 121 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 6: her name for that reason. She just separately said that 122 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 6: that she did not see Trump do anything untoward. 123 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 5: That's that's that's the quint and so go back to 124 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 5: what he made. 125 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 6: I don't want people to think that that it was 126 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 6: that's just responding to Democrats, which she was not. 127 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 7: But go ahead, here's the thing. First of all, Joe 128 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 7: Biden was not on the plane. He was not made 129 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 7: you go jump to another because on the plane was 130 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 7: not there. Everybody said, well, Joe Biden didn't do whatever. 131 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 7: The Democrats were never saying, don't release the Republicans now 132 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 7: are saying don't release. That's not true. 133 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 2: I've said release, stay consistent. I rea. 134 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 8: Ironically, the reason this is such an issue right now 135 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 8: is because Republicans campaigned on it and made it. Frankly, 136 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 8: shame on the Biden DOJ for not having been more proactive, 137 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 8: and thank you to the Republicans. The manner is fear 138 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 8: all the bloggers, fear the Republican right wing who spent 139 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 8: the campaign making this into a big issue. 140 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 5: And I'd say, now release it as long as you 141 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 5: protect the victim's release. But what you notice, Democrats, and 142 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 5: that's why I went back in history, they didn't care 143 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 5: about this at all. The only thing they want to 144 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 5: do now is hurt President Donald Trump. They want to 145 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 5: do anything they can to try to imply that he 146 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 5: did something terrible, that he did something that is like awful. 147 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 2: He he didn't do anything wrong. That is the biggest 148 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 2: difference here. 149 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 5: And so now with the President saying, Okay, DJ, you 150 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 5: guys want to go there, you want to play this game, fine, 151 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 5: we will investigate you. Now let's go through the names 152 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 5: of people. You notice he said Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton 153 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 5: has never been investigated for going to Epstein Island, flying 154 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 5: on his plane or any of the connections there, which, 155 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 5: by the way, also brings us to another story that 156 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 5: involves the Clintons. The Clinton Foundation, where money was flowing 157 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 5: in when Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State and 158 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 5: running for president, is now the center of more attention. Now, 159 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 5: there's a part of this story that you may not 160 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 5: actually even know about, and that is the IRS actually 161 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 5: opened a criminal probe into the Clinton Foundation in twenty nineteen. 162 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 2: But guess what. 163 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 5: In twenty nineteen, a Democrat was in charge of the 164 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 5: White House, the FBI, and all of all four smith 165 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 5: So what happened? The investigation was abruptly stopped. Here's more 166 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 5: of the background on that story. 167 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 3: And a criminal probe into the Clinton Foundation in twenty 168 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 3: nineteen but then suddenly stopped. That's according to new memos 169 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 3: detailing how agents suddenly cut off contact with whistleblowers after 170 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 3: months of cooperation.
