Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, let make
Speaker 1: sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's what we know
Speaker 1: and don't know about the Epstein case. A lot of
Speaker 1: you sending me questions and want more analysis on this,
Speaker 1: so I figured we'd keep going and work through this together.
Speaker 1: First of all, there seems to be this movement now
Speaker 1: to believe among some people that not just the FBI
Speaker 1: director and the Attorney General so Cash Betel and Pam Bondi,
Speaker 1: but even Trump himself have been compromised. That is, to me,
Speaker 1: not in the realm of reality. I don't see that
Speaker 1: at all. And I want to explain why some of
Speaker 1: you are going to be annoyed at me on this.
Speaker 1: But let me get to there's a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: we still don't know, and this is not case closed,
Speaker 1: as I said in the other earlier podcast. But here's
Speaker 1: why I don't believe this that people are feeling as
Speaker 1: though they've been well, there's the feeling of whiplash from
Speaker 1: what was promised versus what is delivered. That is valid.
Speaker 1: There was an over promising of information and action around
Speaker 1: Epstein from the top of the DOJ, whether it was
Speaker 1: the Binder's influencer event, statements made on Fox News. There
Speaker 1: was over promising and that has caused problems of perception
Speaker 1: on this issue. That is true. That is true, and
Speaker 1: that people feel rightly so that they were and I
Speaker 1: mean Maga, I mean Trump supporters, some of them feel
Speaker 1: like they were misled on this issue. There was an
Speaker 1: exaggeration at work here, and that this should not have
Speaker 1: this is not the way it should have gone down.
Speaker 1: All of that is valid. I think all of that
Speaker 1: is true, and all of the frustration that is being
Speaker 1: felt right now as a result of that makes sense
Speaker 1: to me. I get it right. People are told now.
Speaker 1: I just want to say, on the JFK files and
Speaker 1: the MLK files, some people were promising a lot on that.
Speaker 1: I know people were having these big podcasts about all
Speaker 1: the revelations, and I told you there's nothing in those files. Okay,
Speaker 1: there's nothing in those files. That doesn't mean that there's
Speaker 1: stuff about JFKMLK Junior's assassinations that I don't know or
Speaker 1: that other people don't know. Fine, but I did know
Speaker 1: that there was nothing in the the declassified files coming
Speaker 1: out that was going to shake anyone's world. And I
Speaker 1: told you that, and I've said that on the radio,
Speaker 1: I've said that on podcasts, Okay, on the Epstein stuff.
Speaker 1: I also knew that there was going to be this
Speaker 1: disconnect between the revelations and what was being said, because
Speaker 1: to me, there would be no way that if they
Speaker 1: had hard evidence of people doing the crimes, the sex
Speaker 1: crimes that were believed to be occurring, not Epstein specifically,
Speaker 1: we know he did sex crimes. I'm talking about other
Speaker 1: people write the so called client list that I don't
Speaker 1: believe they had the hard evidence of that and suppressed it. Now,
Speaker 1: this is where things get nuanced, and this is where
Speaker 1: I need people to follow me here. That doesn't mean
Speaker 1: that I don't believe it happened. I do believe it happened.
Speaker 1: Here are things that have to be kept in one's
Speaker 1: head at the same time. And I do not believe
Speaker 1: any of this requires a cognitive dissonance or is self
Speaker 1: refuting or anything like that, that there's any contradiction in
Speaker 1: this thinking. I say, we work through this piece by piece.
Speaker 1: Were uh people in MAGA led to believe that there'd
Speaker 1: be much bigger revelations and there would be accountability with
Speaker 1: regard to Epstein than what we have been shown here
Speaker 1: and what has happened. Absolutely yes, And is that a mistake?
Speaker 1: Is that a blunder? Yes? Yes? Was the way this
Speaker 1: was handled by Pam Bondi with that memo on a
Speaker 1: Sunday night and then the somewhat dismissive attitude about it
Speaker 1: the next day or the day after that in the
Speaker 1: cabinet meeting? Was that adding fuel to the fire? Yes?
Speaker 1: Was it a blunder not to address the sixty seconds
Speaker 1: of video and the suicide video stuff with Epstein ahead
Speaker 1: of time instead of waiting for people to notice that
Speaker 1: there were sixty seconds missing. Yes, Okay, So all those
Speaker 1: things I view as absolutely true. Is this whole thing,
Speaker 1: this whole Epstein saga of the demonic? Is this whole
Speaker 1: thing deeply depressing from the perspective of one just humanity
Speaker 1: and what was done to these young girls and everything? Yes?
Speaker 1: Also the failures of the justice department early on and
Speaker 1: the justice system early on to hold this man accountable
Speaker 1: and to get some measure of justice very importantly to
Speaker 1: stop him from doing more of this, Because it didn't
Speaker 1: stop him from doing more of this? Is that a
Speaker 1: massive failure of our justice system. Yes, okay, Now we
Speaker 1: get to where people disagree with me, or rather there's
Speaker 1: a little more friction. I think everyone can agree with
Speaker 1: me on all of that, and I believe all of
Speaker 1: that is true. I'm not always right, but I always
Speaker 1: say what I think is true, and I'm almost always right.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying not always right, almost always right, but
Speaker 1: I always tell you what I think is true, and
Speaker 1: I try very hard to be really devoted to that principle,
Speaker 1: whether it's here on this podcast or on the radio show,
Speaker 1: or on TV or any anything that I do. Okay,
Speaker 1: Now here's did the FBI or is the FBI suppressing
Speaker 1: information that it has about individuals who committed sex crimes
Speaker 1: in the Epstein ring. I don't believe that. And here's
Speaker 1: why I don't believe they're doing that. And here's why
Speaker 1: I don't believe that the people who have access that information,
Speaker 1: including President Trump himself, would do that. I don't believe
Speaker 1: that they would do that. Now you can disagree with
Speaker 1: me on that, but that means that you would think
Speaker 1: that Cash Betel and Dan bong Dan Bongino and Donald
Speaker 1: Trump and others are willing to protect child predators because
Speaker 1: of some other agenda. And I fundamentally reject that. I
Speaker 1: know these people. I've known them a long time, and
Speaker 1: you know, I understand you could say, well, you never
Speaker 1: really know somebody totally, but I do not believe that.
Speaker 1: And I don't think a lot of the people that
Speaker 1: are lobbing these accusations on the internet right now about
Speaker 1: Cash and about Dan and about others whatever said to
Speaker 1: their face. And I don't mean oh, because they would
Speaker 1: get their asses kicked in the case certainly of Dan,
Speaker 1: no offense Cash, that's probably true, But I think it's
Speaker 1: because this has now become an outlet for the outrage
Speaker 1: of people about the whole thing to direct it to
Speaker 1: those individuals, and I don't think that that's fair. I
Speaker 1: don't think that. I think now now you can point
Speaker 1: to some of their earlier statements, both Cash and Dan
Speaker 1: and ag BONDI I think has made a lot of
Speaker 1: errors in this regard. They weren't on the inside. They
Speaker 1: were just like me and you. They were going on
Speaker 1: the news stories and they thought as I thought. I
Speaker 1: truly thought and still think that there was a broader
Speaker 1: conspiracy with Epstein. Now they're looking at the evidence they're saying, look,
Speaker 1: we don't have evidence to prove the following. Okay, so
Speaker 1: the blame going on them I don't agree with, and
Speaker 1: I think that that's unhelpful at this point in time.
Speaker 1: I also think that they're there should be a willingness
Speaker 1: administration to give further clarification about some areas where there's
Speaker 1: remaining to be there remains open questions like how did
Speaker 1: Epstein get all of his money? And we need to
Speaker 1: have that memo they put out was way too skimpy,
Speaker 1: not nearly enough. And the people and particularly MAGA, who
Speaker 1: supported Trump once again and delivered this huge victory and
Speaker 1: we're promised transparency on this, should have more information where
Speaker 1: did this guy's money really come from? And have they
Speaker 1: tracked down every financial lead they have on this and
Speaker 1: give us that information because if it exists, it has
Speaker 1: not been made accessible enough, it has not been made
Speaker 1: clear enough. Because again I think this goes to do
Speaker 1: I think there were other men in Epstein's orbit who
Speaker 1: committed serious sex crimes? Yes? I do. Do I think
Speaker 1: the FBI has evidence of that in their possession now, No,
Speaker 1: I don't do I think that that evidence was destroyed.
Speaker 1: You know, tapes eliminated, erased earlier before this administration came in. Yes,
Speaker 1: I do. Now I'm going on belief here based on
Speaker 1: my analysis. I don't know, Okay, I'm just like you.
Speaker 1: I read the news, I read what's going on. Well,
Speaker 1: I talk to some of these people personally, so I
Speaker 1: have some insight into what they're dealing with, what's going on,
Speaker 1: and I've known some of them for a long time.
Speaker 1: But in terms of the facts of this Epstein case,
Speaker 1: I have never been privy to any non public information.
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you what I believe and where we
Speaker 1: are now, and I'm hoping that this will help all
Speaker 1: of us, you know, take a beat, continue to ask
Speaker 1: some questions about this, because I think there need to
Speaker 1: be questions asked. But also let's not get the torches
Speaker 1: and the pitchforks out for the administration on this one.
Speaker 1: All right. So there's that now. So that's on the
Speaker 1: blame portion. There's what we agree on portion. There's the
Speaker 1: blame portion. Now we get to and also the people
Speaker 1: are saying, oh, you know, either flipped or you know,
Speaker 1: you know, people are telling me like Israel Gati or
Speaker 1: something like what what come on? Honestly, like people who
Speaker 1: say stuff like that just need to need to to me.
Speaker 1: Grow up. Israel got to me? What does it even mean?
Speaker 1: Oh maybe Russia got to me, right, That's what the
Speaker 1: Democrats used to do with Trump all the time. This
Speaker 1: is nonsense. No one got to me. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: what I believe all right now, and no one got
Speaker 1: to a lot of the other people out there who
Speaker 1: were trying to tell you what they think. Is that
Speaker 1: have there been some screw ups in this Yes, there
Speaker 1: have been screw ups. So people's frustration is understandable and warranted.
Speaker 1: I'm not dismissive of this, and it was not helpful
Speaker 1: that the administration put out that memo and then was dismissive. Okay,
Speaker 1: that was a bait and switch. It was. There was whiplash.
Speaker 1: That's not good. They screwed up sometimes, even you know,
Speaker 1: the people that you think are doing the best job
Speaker 1: or the right people for the job, they screw up.
Speaker 1: They screwed up on this, all right, and you know
Speaker 1: you hold them to that account. Fine, but you know
Speaker 1: Cash and Dan are covering for an evil global pedal rink. No,
Speaker 1: that is not that is not had. Those guys are
Speaker 1: not doing that, all right, Those guys are not doing
Speaker 1: that in my opinion based on everything that I know.
Speaker 1: And if I'm wrong on this one, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be wrong on that. But you know,
Speaker 1: if there's some part of this that I'm missing, I'll
Speaker 1: address that later, Okay, And now we get to the
Speaker 1: part where I think also some of you who are
Speaker 1: mad at me right now, also some of you are
Speaker 1: mad that and even talking about this. But I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, there's a lot of passion in MAGA about
Speaker 1: this right now, overwhelming comments, emails, everything on this issue.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to talk about illegal immigration enforcement, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to talk about the economy. I'm trying to talk about
Speaker 1: I want to talk about Maha make America Healthy again
Speaker 1: in the movie. But no, no, no, no no. A lot of
Speaker 1: people say, sorry, we're not just moving past this this
Speaker 1: Epstein things, So you better dig in and explain to
Speaker 1: the best of your ability what's going on. So I'm
Speaker 1: trying to you know, I'm responsive. I work for you,
Speaker 1: I work for those who listen. I work for those
Speaker 1: who spend their time with me. You are my bosses.
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to cover this as best I can
Speaker 1: and then I get into the areas of this where
Speaker 1: where I think you'll a lot of you who are
Speaker 1: frustrated with me right now will agree with me, which
Speaker 1: is I think that I think that there are people
Speaker 1: who are getting away with very serious sex crimes as
Speaker 1: a result of this investigation ending with no prosecutions beyond Epstein.
Speaker 1: I do. I believe that I will never name people
Speaker 1: because I don't know and I don't have evidence, and
Speaker 1: that's that would be wrong because I don't know. But
Speaker 1: I do know. But here's why I think that there's
Speaker 1: more stuff going on. Epstein was was, you know, procuring
Speaker 1: illegally for different individuals, women, trafficking them, taking them across
Speaker 1: state lines or even international lines, who are under eighteen
Speaker 1: for illicit purpose. And you know, we know of one
Speaker 1: person on the record by a victim who alleged, you know,
Speaker 1: who alleged that this had happened, and she had also
Speaker 1: alleged that there were other men too. So I do
Speaker 1: not believe that everybody who's guilty here has been has
Speaker 1: been found at all. I don't believe that. So don't
Speaker 1: don't tell me. Oh but Buck, you're you're saying that that. No,
Speaker 1: I don't believe that everyone who committed crimes here has
Speaker 1: been held to account at all. And that's very and
Speaker 1: that's very frustrating, and I can respect that frustration. I
Speaker 1: do believe that there was a blackmail operation underway. I
Speaker 1: have not changed I've seen I have seen nothing to
Speaker 1: change my mind on that. The DOJ saying they don't
Speaker 1: have evidence of that is them just saying what they
Speaker 1: have in their possession. But I'm an analyst. I'm a
Speaker 1: person who thinks through what is out there and tells
Speaker 1: you what my opinion is. I remember now they're saying
Speaker 1: that the only stuff that Epstein had that was on
Speaker 1: the sort of the videos or you know, the footage
Speaker 1: that is child pornography he downloaded off the Internet. That's
Speaker 1: what they are saying, meaning that there's no video of
Speaker 1: him or other people engaged in illegal sex acts themselves. Right.
Speaker 1: The possession of that of that underaged pornography is that's
Speaker 1: a very serious federal crime and it's it's heinous and
Speaker 1: would send him to prison alone for twenty five to life. Right,
Speaker 1: But they're saying they don't have Okay, Well, then I
Speaker 1: asked this question, what was all the surveillance about so
Speaker 1: so all he had because it wasn't like external cameras
Speaker 1: on his house for security peron. He had every room
Speaker 1: with videos and microphone micd up in rooms that had
Speaker 1: beds and you know, massage tables. And he's clearly so
Speaker 1: he wasn't keeping the videos of himself doing this stuff,
Speaker 1: nor was he keeping videos of anybody else doing this stuff.
Speaker 1: I don't believe it. I don't believe it. Do I
Speaker 1: think that that footage, that video has long since been
Speaker 1: erased and cleansed from the record, Yes, yes, I do. Okay,
Speaker 1: So that's where there's a I think there are more
Speaker 1: people who committed crimes who have not been held to
Speaker 1: account at all, and who, unfortunately, I think, are going
Speaker 1: to get away with it. Just getting honest with you,
Speaker 1: based on what we're seeing. If the evidence isn't there,
Speaker 1: the evidence isn't there. And then I also think that
Speaker 1: that Epstein was trying to blackmail people. I also believe
Speaker 1: that still. And then we get to was there a
Speaker 1: foreign intelligence service involved in some capacity? That one I
Speaker 1: think is still likely or maybe I would say possible.
Speaker 1: I think that is still possible. I am not as
Speaker 1: high in my confidence on that assessment as I am
Speaker 1: on the there were other individuals involved, and there was blackmail, okay,
Speaker 1: so I wanted to get this all out of that.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that I'm not going to talk about this
Speaker 1: again because I think I've made this now as clear
Speaker 1: as I can what I see on this. But you know,
Speaker 1: just by way of review, there have been some screw
Speaker 1: ups in the way this was presented to the public
Speaker 1: as an information operation. This was MESSI from the administration side,
Speaker 1: and they should have done better with this. I do
Speaker 1: not believe that the individuals who are getting a lot
Speaker 1: of heat right now are personally compromised and relying to you.
Speaker 1: I do not believe that. I do believe that there
Speaker 1: are people who committed additional crimes who are getting away
Speaker 1: with it as part of the Epstein ring. I do
Speaker 1: believe that, and I do believe there was a black
Speaker 1: operation that is running, and I think that there's still
Speaker 1: the possibility that there was a foreign intelligence involvement. That
Speaker 1: is how I see this, and I'm hoping that there
Speaker 1: could be that there will be some breakthroughs perhaps in
Speaker 1: the future on this more information. But when you're talking
Speaker 1: about criminal charges, especially of this nature, you've really got
Speaker 1: to be sure you need evidence. You need because because
Speaker 1: even just bringing the charge destroy somebody's life. And I
Speaker 1: know you're saying, well, if somebody did some of the
Speaker 1: stuff that Epstein did, you know, they deserve whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you got to be sure there are people who
Speaker 1: were in Epstein's orbit who spent some time with I mean,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people who were in Epstein's orbit, right,
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people took lunches with them
Speaker 1: who didn't do anything criminal at all. And so it
Speaker 1: is important. I know people right now, we all want justice,
Speaker 1: and we want justice for the victims, but you don't
Speaker 1: want to create more victims in the sense of people
Speaker 1: whose lives are destroyed, who didn't do anything wrong, who
Speaker 1: didn't victimize any young girls, but are somehow you know,
Speaker 1: people are just being reckless and making allegations against them.
Speaker 1: And I know that that can that's a that's a
Speaker 1: delicate situation, but that's important here too. So that's where
Speaker 1: I am with this, hopefully the comment and I know
Speaker 1: the comments, oh you know the Russians, Israel, Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: the Chinese. They got to you guys. No one got
Speaker 1: to me. I'm telling you what I think here, and
Speaker 1: I think I've been pretty consistent on this, and I
Speaker 1: hope that I've explained my thinking on it, and if
Speaker 1: there's something you want to add in or you know,
Speaker 1: by all means, but if you've listened to this all
Speaker 1: the way, you know that there's I understand the frustration.
Speaker 1: I don't think people should be as frustrated at certain
Speaker 1: people as they are, and I do think they're still
Speaker 1: open questions, and that is how I'm analyzing this. Our
Speaker 1: sponsor here is Preborn. This is a really worthy cause,
Speaker 1: Preborn saving the lives of tiny babies every day. And
Speaker 1: they do this by bringing mothers to be into their clinics,
Speaker 1: welcoming them with open arms and saying, hey, look, I
Speaker 1: know you're considering what to do, have this baby or
Speaker 1: sadly have an abortion. Let's give you an ultrasound. Let's
Speaker 1: let you meet the tiny baby in your womb. Preborn
Speaker 1: finds that once they get this process going, and once
Speaker 1: they offer their love and support to that mom to
Speaker 1: be after she meets the tiny baby growing in her
Speaker 1: womb via ultrasound, the choice is life, overwhelmingly, so help
Speaker 1: them with this. They've saved three hundred thousand babies. It's
Speaker 1: a fantastic organization. Twenty eight dollars will provide for an ultrasound.
Speaker 1: One of you listening is made a lot of money
Speaker 1: and you're doing great, and you can do twenty eight
Speaker 1: hundred dollars right now, which would be one hundred one
Speaker 1: hundred of these ultrasounds and possibly save one hundred tiny babies.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a better way. You could spend
Speaker 1: twenty eight hundred dollars tax deductible, but if you can
Speaker 1: just give twenty eight dollars, guys, that's helping hugely. So
