Bulwark Takes - BREAKING: Elon Musk, Others Named in Newly Released Epstein Documents

Episode Date: September 26, 2025

JVL and Joe Perticone take on the latest Epstein files: Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, and Elon Musk all show up. What did the emails reveal—and why are Republicans staying quiet?

Hello, everyone. This is JVL here with my bulwark colleague, Joe Perticoan, and we got some more Epstein files news for you. Buckle up. Gotten some crazy names coming out. Joe, we had House Democrats releasing some more Epstein files today. Tell me what's in them. Was it like Christmas? So I'll start by saying like this was there was only about six pages. These are all from Epstein's estate. They're not from the government. which means in order for them to have been tampered with, somebody would have had to tampered with them years and years and years ago. The long game. Yeah, it kind of cancels out the idea that, you know, this could be planted. The original drop, we saw the birthday book. We got that earlier this month.

And this was part of the effort that House Democrats on the Oversight Committee, you know, managed to get this thing passed. so and then Mike Johnson was like we're not doing this anymore cancel votes everybody come back since six weeks now he probably doesn't want to return votes this coming week we're already seeing whispers for that and basically they're getting all these documents and phases and they just got another you know several thousand and what they have to do is they have to go through them line by line to make sure there's no reveal of the victims or private information because a that's the right thing to do but B if they did do that that could risk the investigation. People can say it's not worth it hurting these victims. So they're being very

meticulous about this. So this latest little batch we got, it was flight logs and scheduling emails from Jeffrey Epstein, um, basically saying like, hey, like you got to like meet at the breakers with so-and-so. Who are the so-and-so's, Joe? So the first one, I was like scrolling really fast and I see Peter Thiel. Ooh. Lunch with Peter Thiel. Yeah. And I'm like, oh, that's not that surprising. Then you see breakfast with Steve Bannon. And then there's this really kind of funny line where it's like, FYI, Elon Musk heading to the island. And then in parentheses, is this still on? And so we don't know. Elon Musk heading to Jeffrey Epstein's island. Yeah. And this is in, what? This is in 2014. So a good six years after the sweetheart plea deal that Epstein got. So we don't

know if you did go. It could be like in the Simpsons when they find out there's the brothel in town and Principal Skinner's like, I only went in there to get directions on how to get away from there. So it like we don't know who knows. Yeah, we don't know if you win. Somebody should ask Elon about this. Yeah. And for example, if you look at like the how the house would shape up, like the oversight committee's been really smart about this the Democrats have, they've been able to use this very well. Because the oversight committee can't really do much, especially when you're in the minority. And the fact that they've gotten these documents and they're going to get a lot more, hats off to them. Because if they're in the majority, if that's possible, in the

next Congress, they can do things like subpoena Elon Musk to come testify and say, well, what were you doing? Did you go to the island? Oh, and another person named, but not surprising at all. Prince Andrew is on Jeffrey Epstein's flight. We all know that, though. Not great. So I'm sort of curious as to where Maga would be on this. Because 2014, Elon is still very much a liberal Democrat. And so the idea that 2014 Elon Musk would have been cozy with Jeffrey Epstein and going to the island actually fits with the MAGA view. Does Elon get saved by the fact that six years later, seven or eight years later, he leaves the Democratic Party and becomes a Trump supporter for 14 months

before falling out with Trump? Do you think that gets him immunity? Is that like getting vaccinated? Maybe. I think like because the names are Bannon, Teal, Musk, and it's only six pages out of thousands, but these are, you know, obviously the House Democrats are being very deliberate with like what they reveal. But also we still haven't, you know, For in the birthday book, we saw there was notes from Bill Clinton. So it's not like they're playing favorites entirely. But like you can't doubt that they saw these names and were like, we got to get these ones out.

And first of all, the Republicans on the committee have these documents too. There's not releasing anything. So it just comes out from the Democratic side. You know what they say, Joe? It's always the ones you least or is it most expect. I forget how the saying goes. It's impossible to know. all right so there you have it guys peter teal steve bannon and Elon musk showing up in the latest batch of Epstein files

Elon with the hey bro you're still coming to the island him getting lunch with Steve bannon or breakfast with peter teal like he was in finance he was in business epstein was so that kind of makes sense but like when it's just like musk's still going to island is this still on like there's that it's always sunny in philadelphia episode where deanie davido's like Like, no, no, I just went because of the, they're snorkeling there. And it's like, so what reason are you going to the island other than to have a good time? Boy, it's going to be fun to find that out in January of 27 with the Democratic majority in the House is sworn in. Don't you think, Joe?

Maybe if it happens. All right, guys, hit like, hit subscribe, follow the channel because the rest of the world may have given up on the Epstein story, but we sure as hell haven't. We're going to keep banging away at this until something breaks. Good luck, America.
