Nothing is more dismissive of Epstein survivors and victims of sexual assault than to be swished aside, hoaxed, all of the things that Donald Trump does. And we know that Donald Trump is cancles deep in the Epstein files. But here's what he said yesterday in the Oval Office, proving his ability to gaslight never dies. Nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. And in fact, if you look at the DOJ, they announced. You know, they release three million pages. It's like this is all they're supposed to be doing. And frankly, the DOJ, I think, should just say, we have other things to do because that whole thing is turned out.

I mean, other than Bill Clinton and, you know, Bill Gates and lots of people that have, there are a lot of questions about it, but nothing on me. But it was even sort of better than that. Okay. Nothing on me. DOJ needs to move on. That is so dismissive. It is such a lie. What are your thoughts on seeing him say that?

Well, it's intentional propaganda and gaslighting that the administration has done forever. This man is every single time he's accused of something and he's clearly, objectively involved in something, clearly, objectively in the middle of it. He lies. Pathologically lies through his teeth. It is a survival, fight, or flight reflex for him. So this is not new. Just the subject matter is new.

And his, you know, supporters were all involved in this release the files, release the files, release the files, release the files. His Attorney General, Pam Bondi, the list is on my desk. The files are on my desk. I will be releasing everything fully transparently, blah, blah. Well, this guy's in it like over 50,000 times or something like this. He's compromised by Russia. Western media doesn't even remotely. report that he's compromised by Israel.

And all throughout the reports, there is reporting that both Jeffrey Epstein and Gilane Maxwell or Mossade agents, which should be the top story, but Western media refuses to objectively report on this story. We have Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Thiel in deep conversations about dismantling the EU, starting with Brexit. They high-fived over that. and they want to create a new world order. But all of these guys, Peter Till, Steve Bannon, they can't run for office.

They're not electable. So they have this idiotic, demented show pony that is really, really easy to manipulate. And so they got him inside the walls of power and they're dismantling it. He's their Trojan horse. And none of that gets reported. And it's so frustrating. It's so frustrating as I continue to review these files. I think none of these men are going to face accountability, least of all Trump.

And it makes me so mad to think all of this was going on for years. I mean, it was a full-blown pedophile sex trafficking ring to the highest reaches of power and money and political agents. And nobody is going to be held accountable. only that. The FBI is releasing pictures and private information about these women, but yet they're blocking out pictures, aka Donald Trump, of his face in these photos. It is just, it's so... Let me say something here. I understand Trump's DOJ blocking out stuff. Agreed. And releasing the victims. Merritt Garland and Joe Biden had this for four years, four years. And they just said, here, here's democracy.

you fascist nut job who everybody that worked with you and Trump 1.0 said that you wanted generals like Hitler's generals, that you were a fascist through and through, that you asked if you could shoot protesters in Trump 1.0. These are conservatives that served with him in his first administration and the Democrats are like, oh, well, we believe in the American people not to get brainwashed on social media. So we'll just pass it all back over to these fascists. It is the most maddening thing. I expect nothing but moral depravity from MAGA Republicans, especially if they talk about being Christians. You know they're the most broken, emotionally stunted,

diabolical, cruel people among us. And they feed off all of this. And so it makes me so incredibly angry that the Democrats didn't do anything about that. And then I look at what the Democrats are doing right now. We have Chuck Schumer. I pledge allegiance to Israel over the weekend. And it's just, it's so incredibly frustrating. And so it's hard to stay engaged.

It's hard to think how are we going to make it through this? But I look back upon history and it's always been people that have been the impetus of movements, not political parties. And scholar Tom Snyder reminds us of that again and again and again. It is the people that promote movements. And so that's what keeps me going. No, I think you're exactly right. It is so frustrating.

And I think you were one of the very first people that pointed out like what you just said. People have to stay engaged. As hard as it is, we have to come together. So Kylie, let's skip two and go straight to three. And we find out as fucking Trump, who is all over the Epstein files, has to bring up Bill Clinton and Bill Gates. We find out that Bill and Hillary Clinton are willing to testify in a four-hour deposition, recorded by transcript from the Oversight Committee. And so what my question is, do I think Bill Clinton was up to some really shady shit in this?

Absolutely. Do I think he should be held accountable for it? Absolutely. But what makes me so mad on this, again, Donald Trump hasn't been questioned under oath for four hours about Epstein. He hasn't said he's willing to do that. In fact, when asked his assistant or the deputy attorney general, Todd Blanche is like, well, just because he parted with Epstein doesn't mean he did anything wrong.

They've not questioned him. They've not asked for sworn statements. They've done fucking nothing. And so Trump is so happy to throw the Clintons under the bus, which if they're in it, I'll throw him under the bus. But don't sit there in the Oval Office in front of Howard Nutlick that looked like he had just swallowed a basketball during that same press conference. throw the Clintons under the bus when you yourself will not sit for any type of questioning, which would his DOJ do any kind of decent questioning? No, but it's just the gaslighting, the pain that he causes people is just, it's so enraging. And then something with this last damp, pull this up. Okay, in an email talking about acquiring a new modeling agency, Jeffrey Epstein says he introduced Melania to Donald Trump.

That doesn't surprise me. That's been the whispers this whole time. That would make more sense to me in terms of she came over, the visa, all of those things. She married a rich guy in the inner circle. But this whole documentary, she just does. It would have been interesting if she would have talked about her ties to Epstein, but she didn't. But to think that the First Lady and Donald Trump are BFFs, we've seen in these documents, she's emailing Galane Maxwell making plans with her, that this DOJ under this administration has not recused because of a conflict of interest.

Your face. They're not going to do that. They're going to go after the Clintons. They're going to be hypocrites. They're going to gaslight. And we cannot take our normal everyday logic. that we would apply to a Mitt Romney administration or a George W. Bush administration and apply that here. This is a different beast. These people are fascist through and through. Their number one default setting is propaganda.

He will always go after innocent people. Don Lemon arrested a huge blow to the First Amendment. He went after James Comey, who I don't even really like. I think he's the one that handed Don Donald Trump, the entire presidency the first time around, Letitia James, Alvin Braggs. I don't have any expectation that these fascists are going to do the right thing. I expect every single morning they are gonna wake up, lie and propagandize.

I expected when Melania Trump had a sex offender direct her documentary at the behest of a shakedown from Donald Trump giving Jeff Bezos $40 million, million dollars so that Jeff Bezos could bend the knee. I expect it to be nothing short of an hour and a half of excruciating bullshit propaganda. I wake up every morning and expect this from them. I know that this is not politics as usual. That's why I get frustrated with the Democrats because they are playing it as though, why is he doing this? Why isn't he doing that? And it's like, you've got to lock in.

You've got to lock in. This guy is trying to consolidate power in the executive branch every day, all day. He's around pedophiles. He's around pedophile protectors. He himself, as I always say, is cankles deep in the Epstein files. And this whole movement with its mass support in evangelical Christianity is all about forgiveness without accountability. And every single day, any notion that they're going to wake up and be accountable is a

fool's errand. Any notion that they're going to apply the law equally is a fool's errand. Any notion that they're going to wake up and not lie through their teeth is a fool's errand. Any notion that he is not going to do everything in his power to, quote, nationalize the elections and send eyes to terrorize immigrant polling places, black polling places, that he's not going to have Tulsi Gabbard go get paper ballots right in the evening of the election day for the midterms is a fool's errand.

We need to lock in and understand and just accept as a foregone conclusion that every single day when you wake up in Trump's America, you're going to get erosion of civil liberties, you're going to get pathological lies and you're going to get a shit ton of propaganda. You're going to have breathtaking hypocrisy. Our country does not run in the ways it has in the past. This is different. The oligarchs that get all of these government contracts

do not care about its citizens, but most importantly, Donald Trump's ruling class, they don't give a shit about their citizens. As proven how they are dismantling the EPA, measles are on the increase, they are favoring constant corporations in removing some of the city, safety regulations. So we need to lock in and be clear-eyed every day when we wake up that this is

what's coming for us every morning, every afternoon, every evening, overnight. The machinations of these madmen will not cease. There is not going to be any fair play from this administration at all. They're not going to make a clear-eyed documentary about Melania. They're incapable of rigorous honesty because now we're at the phase in this coup that they believe their own propaganda. Yeah, when you when you said that after having spoken with Ruth Ben Guillaude about they believe their own propaganda, that was chilling to me because on some level I thought they knew the truth, but I wouldn't argue with you or Ruth Ben Gehout on that point. And just one final thing about propaganda and what's going on in Fox News.

have this comment made and I just thought I have to show Jennifer this clip. They're really worried about is if this is indicia for the midterms because they're all saying oh it's done we're going to control Congress this is the indication that that silent majority is still out there. The Melania documentary which was the biggest box office slop is now the reason that Democrats are worried about the midterms. I just thought that is a whole new level of bullshit. Every day, Fox News surprises me with the level of bullshit. That's the problem. We mustn't be surprised anymore. We must be prepared that every single day they are going to wake up and North Korea style propagandize us. We have to accept it.

We have to be clear right about that. Every single day, the people, the strong man that is now weak, frail, demented, showing clear signs of physical being closer and closer to physical death. Everybody in his cabinet, as opposed to Trump 1.0, are loyalists. First and foremost, these are sycophants. A lot of these people in his cabinet, I believe we're at 25 to 30, are also cancels deep in the Epstein files. The oligarchs that have been the need to Trump are cancles deep in the Epstein file.

So every day, any form of propaganda from this regime, the oligarchs, Rupert Murdoch, that wants to keep him propped up. They are going to keep your eye off the ball. Immigrants are being scapegoated. Immigrants are not the people that are taking your jobs. Historically, this is what strong men do. They scapegoat, marginalized groups to take your eye off the ball, that the oligarchs and the billionaires are the ones that are taking your jobs.

They are the ones that are the reason that you can't have nice things, and you can't have health care. We're not talking about here that Donald Trump's, that Donald Trump is clearly compromised by Vladimir Putin, and this is confirmed in this most recent dump. Jeffrey Epstein has Donald Trump and a lot of people in his administration by the balls with Israel. He is compromised by Israel. And then our brain needs to go to and we need to be clear-eyed. Chuck Schumer over the weekend, told donors, his number one goal is to make sure Israel still continues to be funded.

So you have all of these dark forces controlling the ruling class, which is Donald Trump. He's not controlling everything. These oligarchs that know how to dogwalk and manipulate him are. These same people are also controlling our opposition, which is why it's so frustrating being an American right now. And Fox News is going to continue with outrageous propaganda. When you had the day off yesterday, Pumps, I talked about Riley Gaines saying empathy and compassion are being weaponized against us.

women. This outlandish insanity permission structures for them to be the morally depraved, hypocritical Christians, faux patriots that they are is going to get worse. And we've got to lock in and we have got to be clear-eyed about what we're up against. They are going to try to rig the elections. Our outpouring of going to vote has to be too big to rig. This man, and all of his sick of ants, all they're going to do is going to wake up and plunder. Repeat, wake up and plunder.

And this is the most important part. The United States, as it's written right now, gives the power to the people. Citizens United took that away from us. And since then, when we started empower, corporations over human beings.

They have realized, oh, this is a lot of fun. We're too dorky to run or immigrants ourselves, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel. So we will install puppets and we will get all of the power and we will pull all of the levers. You find out through these Epstein files that this has been going on 10 years back, the machinations of these really dark nefarious people. that, you know, they've decided, I don't think democracy's great anymore. Well, you put your ass, Peter Till with your greasy face on a ballot and you run.

And let's see how well that goes. Let's run you against immigrant Zoran Mamdani and let's see who wins. Let's run Elon Musk against Zoran Mamdani and see who wins. These people, all they know how to do is cheat. Propaganda is cheating. Fox News is cheating.

These are titty babies. that get up and whine and lie all day, every day. And it's our job to call it out. I love you pumps that we think that maybe they might have a logical, like, how can we get away with doing this when this is so clearly hypocritical? That's the point. The flagrant, the rules that apply to everybody else don't apply to us. And we have to be clear-eyed about what we're up against.

every single day, amplify scholars, amplify experts. This playbook has been done before in history. And we have to make sure, because this is our last chance in the midterms, that the power remains with the people and that we install a Democratic party that will fix the Constitution because the Constitution was not written to sustain what this man is doing. The Constitution didn't have any guardrails for a madman who also has a Supreme Court that gives all of the power to the richest people in the country. It was too vague and opaque on a lot of that stuff. And so not only, this is why I'm so critical on the Democrats, because we want to have a ruling party.

We have to, number one, beat Republicans, and that's fun. And I love it, and it feels great. It feels like a drug. I love it. But number two, when we get power, Biden didn't. didn't fix anything. He further broke it. And so it has to be a two-part strategy. And we have to have an FDR-style rule. And that's why I think we have to just keep hammering and making sure our base understands how important the voting is and their intention to scare us. Their intention to

advertise the breathtaking hypocrisy so that we will descend in denialism. That's their desired result. And so we have to stay engaged. It's exhausting. Oh my God, am I exhausted from it? But it's the fight of our lives and we must step up and meet this moment. I completely agree. And thank you for always staying on it because I get lost in it and you always bring me back focused as fact and say, here's what you need to do.

So I appreciate that. Of course, Ms. Ponce, I always got you. I always have you, girl. But stay on it. Ms. Welch has given our marching orders. We got to remember to do that and listen, and we will be back with more news.
