Piers Morgan Uncensored - ‘Why NOW?’ Ian Maxwell Speaks As Sister Ghislaine Set To Be Questioned By DOJ Over Epstein Files

Episode Date: July 22, 2025

Ghislaine Maxwell is serving 20 years in a federal prison for recruiting, grooming and transporting young girls for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse. But if there’s supposedly no client list, why is she in jail? Today Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed she's asked her deputy Todd Blanche to meet Ghislaine Maxwell in the coming days to ask her whether she will cooperate with prosecutors from the Department of Justice - and potentially reveal the names of any powerful figures who may be guilty of crimes. But will she do it? Piers Morgan speaks to Ghislaine’s brother Ian Maxwell, who makes some bombshell revelations - before we get reaction from Republican congresswoman for Colorado Lauren Boebert, YouTubers and podcasters Benny Johnson and Vinny Oshana and former chief of staff to President Trump, Mick Mulvaney.

If she's, as you say, a victim of a miscarriage of justice, then there would be no obvious reason why she would not want to cooperate with the authorities. Is your position, as her brother, is your position that these are all, these victims are all lying? There's a lot of speculation about whether Epstein was some kind of Israeli agent. Your father, Robert Maxwell, was also an Israeli agent, maybe also working for Moss. What can you say about that? Do you believe Jeffrey Epstein killed himself? That interview was spectacular.

What the hell is going on here, peers? These are wild bombshells. Well, Galeigh Maxwell is serving 20 years in a federal prison for recruiting, grooming, and transporting young girls for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse. Amid the outrage over the failure to release the Epstein files, many people have asked if there was no client list, who did she traffic for, and why is she in jail?

Well, the answer is she trafficked for Jeffrey Epstein. that's what the court concluded, evidence from his victims, portrayed as a smart, manipulative woman without whom his abuse would not have been possible. But Maxwell's family is appealing the conviction, and political pressure in the United States for Maxwell to testify before Congress could present an opportunity. The House Oversight Committee has literally just approved a subpoena

for her to do so. And Epstein's lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, said this. She is the Rosette Stone. She knows everything. She arranged every single trip with everybody. She knows everything. And if she were just given use immunity, she could be compelled to testify. I'm told that she actually would be willing to testify.

And there'd be no reason for her to withhold any information. So I don't see any negative in giving her the kind of use of immunity that would compel her to testify. Well, President Trump and others in his administration clearly believed that it's too much circumstantial evidence in the case files. Too many people who'd be guilty by association with a man who, obsessively curated influential contacts for whatever reason. There's also vile pornography that can't really be posted on a government website. Senior Republicans, couldn't speak of Mike Johnson, thinking bringing Gilein Maxwell before Congress could be the solution.

And this morning, Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed that she's asked her deputy, Tom Blanche, to meet Gilein Maxwell in the coming days. He'll ask you whether she will cooperate with prosecutors from the Department of Justice and potentially reveal the names of any powerful figures who may be guilty of crime. But will she do it? And can we trust it if she does? Well, Ian Maxwell is Gillane's brother, and he joins me now in the uncensored studio.

Ian, welcome to uncensoreded. You're her brother, Gilane. So let me start by asking you for your reaction to two bits of breaking news today. The first was that the Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed for her deputy to go and see Gilane in prison. What is your response to that, first of all? Well, you really have to ask yourself,

why didn't the DOJ ask to speak to Gulen before they indicted it? Why is it only now? And the reason I say that is because in 2019, after Epstein died and up until Gilein's own arrest in 2020, She was, to the best of her knowledge and her lawyer's knowledge, not a target. She remained in the United States. They made her Gillen available for questions and kept on being said,

she's not a target, she's not a target. Suddenly, bang, 60 officers come down on a house in New Hampshire where she was, huge show, this power of arrest and so forth. there is a disgraceful press conference organized by the DOJ's attorney in New York, and she is pointed out with a picture of Epstein, the subtext being, this woman is guilty. So we considered that all of that entire process was prosecutorial misconduct. and finally they decided that they want to talk to it. So you think it should have been done years ago?

Of course. The second development is that the House Oversight Committee, Congress has voted to subpoena Gilaean. Will she be willing, from your understanding, will she be willing to talk to both the Deputy Attorney General and to be deposed by the United States Congress. Well, this has happened quite literally. I've only heard it, as you have at the same time,

and the last five minutes about the Republicans deciding that they're going to subpoena him. At the moment, Gilean's lawyer, David Oscar Marcus, has indicated that he is talking to the government to set up this original. originally requested meeting with Todd Blanche. Once this is going on, you need to be aware that Gillen is involved in multiple legal, live legal proceedings. She has a live petition in front of the Supreme Court. The government has chosen to oppose that. The same DOJ that is wanting to interview her is opposing him simultaneously.

it's quite an unusual position, but that is what the position is. So she has to respond and has to rebut that opposition. That's one set of proceedings ongoing. Then she has to decide how to deal with this particular request. It's come in from the DOJ. Now we know that there's a subpoena request coming into Congress, which has to be considered. And in addition to all of that, she has a live, not yet live legally, but in the process of being prepared, a motion,

which is known as a habeas corpus motion, to be brought in front of the district court back in New York in which she's entitled to bring new evidence that was not available to her trial, showing government misconduct prior to the trial, in the trial, and post the trial, including, for example, the now, as far as we're concerned, confirmed perjury of one particular,

killer juror who purging himself in front of the judge at the hearing brought at her request as to why he did not disclose his prior sexual abuse on the jury selection form. So all of this is to say that Gelen didn't have a fair trial. That's the bottom line. And in order to be able to deal with all of these things while simultaneously being in prison and a damn dangerous prison it is too. So it's it's very, very hard to see the sequencing of all of this. But if she's, as you say, a victim of a miscarriage of justice, then there would be no obvious reason why she would not want to cooperate with the authorities. I mean, particularly the chance to address Congress, for example,

where the whole world would watch. And if she is as innocent, as you say, then isn't that the perfect opportunity? Why wouldn't she? I mean, if she doesn't do that and she doesn't cooperate, with the Attorney General's office, people are going to assume guilt, are they? I don't think so. I think you have to make a, you have to separate the agendas of everybody involved here. What is Gillen's agenda? She has been in jail over five years. She wants to get free. The reason she wants to be free is because the position, the petition to the Supreme Court

is one that says, I should never have been prosecuted because I was a beneficiary of the Jeffrey Epstein negotiated non-prosecution agreement. So her opening position is to say this should never have been brought. But that's not the same as saying you're innocent.

Wait a minute. Well, the most important point is that if you should never have been prosecuted, you should never have been prosecuted. And the, I don't know, what you have in mind when you say that. Well, I simply say that that would be a legal argument that you would be immune from being prosecuted.

That doesn't mean automatically you're an innocent person. It just means that you may have been part of a, what many people think in relation to Epstein, was a ridiculous farce in which somebody who clearly was a very predatory paedophile ends up getting an incredibly lenient sentence, albeit he remains a convicted, pedophile. And so anyone

associated with him in that case, if you were immune from prosecution, the call to public opinion is not going to view that as an assertion of your innocence.

her trial took place when she had one arm tied behind her back. Both physically, because she was abused significantly in the two years prior to trial, She was on a suicide watch.

She was an isolation cell. She was physically abused by the guards. She was woken up every 15 minutes and couldn't sleep for two years. So that's how she presented at trial. And then we now know that her trial was full of government misconduct. From the start, she was unable to bring evidence in her own defense. on the one hand. And for example, I'd give you one example.

Well, she could have testified. She chose not to. She was advised not to because her own defence was so, had been hold below the water by the prosecution. But after her conviction, she did appeal and the appeals court rejected the appeals. So going to the Supreme Court is actually

the next stage of the appeals process, but she's already had a court convicted. a jury, she's then had an appeals court of three judges uphold that conviction. So I understand, listen, I would do everything I could for my sister. Sure. Let me be clear, okay? So I admire your attempts to get your sister out of prison just on a human level. I understand it.

And it must have been a horrendous thing for you as her brother to watch all this go down. You know, we've got a clip, but she gave an interview to talk television. actually. We've got a clip from that. They wake you up at six, and you can go to breakfast, which consists of a cereal and a fruit, a piece of fruit, generally. And then you have to make your bed sort of military style. And it's got a long interview, but I met a lot. her once at a book launch in New York,

that she bore no relation physically to how she was then. I mean, just on a physical level, it's obvious what the impact of all this has had on her. But in relation to her innocence or otherwise, let's just get a few things on the table in terms of facts. From your understanding, when did she first meet Epstein? Because there is confusion about that. some say it was an introduction by your father, Robert Maxwell, the publisher.

Others say it was at a party or whatever. What's the truth? My father was not involved. Right. Let's start with that. She met him, I believe, sometime in 1991. And either just before or just after our father died and then was with him up until, I would say, sometime like late. 90s. And you could consider they were in a relationship, an item, correct. But this wasn't a relationship, a very standard relationship. They didn't live in the same home. He lived in his home, she lived in her home. She didn't have a key to his house. He didn't have a key to her house. So they lived, they were intimate, but he did not share with her in any way what he was doing at any given at the time of the day.

So we know because evidence was already available before the start of the trial, that there are emails written by Epstein, two associates saying, do not show this to Gulen, wait until Gulen has gone, do not tell Gulen. So this is a very strange kind of situation. So I think it's entirely correct that the... view of Gellan and Epstein was wrong in terms of the way that they interact. But in her court case, there were a number of people, not just the victims, but also housekeepers of various properties belonging to Epstein, who painted a picture of Gilein being his

misfixit. She was the one that ran things. She was the one that courier people around. She was the one that knew what he liked, even down to sexual peccadillos and so on. that she was, you know, almost acting like his madame, for want of a better phrase. And there were a number of people, many people, who painted the same picture, that she wasn't just some peripheral lover on the side who had no knowledge of his movements. She was, in many cases, planning his movements. We now know from grand jury transcripts of the 2007-8 indictment of Jeffrey Epstein, the first time, which were released only in December 24,

so just a few months ago by Governor DeSantis, that there is significant differences of what witnesses said, including witnesses, three or four of them, that came to the 2021 trial of Gulen, and what they said in the 2006-7 trial of, or indictment of Jeffrey Epstein. the defense were not provided those and could not therefore cross-examine the witnesses,

including the women, the accusers, as to where this abuse took place, when this abuse took place. And it's critical because it goes to the ages of the girls. In each case, in each case, not just isolated, and it goes to the veracity of core witnesses. and we know this peers because of this, their juror number 50

turned out to have lied on his jury form. You said that, yeah. Now, it's not just that he lied on his jury form about his prior sexual abuse, but we know because he spoke to a independent journalist of the independent about what went on in that jury room and what influence he personally had on other days. jurors and crucially on bits of evidence on what was considered important by the jury and what

was not considered. Okay, but let me just, for those who are not as familiar with the case as you obviously are, and I am, the women victims who testified, Jane, Kate and Carolyn were all pseudonyms. Annie Farmer testified under her real name. Testimony under oath from all these victims, including Jane, who said that Gillane sometimes joined in. on the sexualized massages with Epstein. Kate testified that Gilane has set up those sexual meetings. Carolyn testified that Gillane once touched her breasts,

her hips and her butt, told her she had a great body for Epstein and his friends. She was 14 at the time, she said. And Annie Farmer, who did give her, or wanted to testify under her real name, testified that when she was to 16, Gillain massaged her naked chest at Epstein's New Mexico ranch in 1996. is your position that they were all lying? Well, my position is that Gieland was never given the chance to cross-examine them properly on their testimony based on...

I understand that, but that's a different question. But that's a different question. But that's a different question. Is your position, as her brother, who's obviously talked to her about this myriad times, is your position that these are all, these victims are all lying? I believe my sister.

She has consistently told the truth. Her lawyer just this morning said that she fully intends to continue telling the truth. And what's interesting is that as more and more things come out, more and more examples of misconduct come out, the truth of Gilein is also coming out. And therefore, the short answer, your question is that Gielin

has denied all of this and I believe that she is telling the truth But she stayed friends with Epstein after his conviction for being a paedophile? No, I think the position is this. The relationship came to an end

I would say round about 1990 In terms of an intimate relationship. Then in 2000, a key associate of Epstein by the name of Sarah Kellan was employed to do all of the arrangements of planes or whatever you will. The relationship, Nigelan and Epstein at that point became essentially a professional relationship. And she was tasked with the renovations of his multiple houses and all that kind of stuff.

But how long did she continue to be friends with him? The ups and downs of the economy can be stressful and worrying.

It's hard to say. I mean, she was in a full-on relationship with a man called Ted Wait from 2003 to 2011. Certainly by... the time of his conviction, I don't think that there was any meaningful continuing interaction. My point is this. She stayed pretty close to him and friendly with him. I'm not saying what particular capacity, I accept they weren't lovers, but she certainly didn't distance herself or disown him despite his conviction for procuring sex with an underage prostitute.

So my question of you is, you're convinced of her absolute innocence here. And yet she knew this guy that she was so close to was a convicted paedophile from 2008-9 onwards. And my question to you would be,

well, why would she still hang around with him? It's a question I would ask Prince Andrew. He was asked it, of course, in the infamous news site interview. And all the others is that you can make an argument. Donald Trump never saw him or dealt with him again, according to what he and his people have

said, but there are many people, including Gillane, who continued to hang out with him. And if I was her brother, that would raise a few alarm bells of me about actually whether she's telling me the full story. Because there it is in black and white. He was a convicted paedophile.

Well, I would question you on your fact as to hanging around or remaining close or remaining friendly. I don't think that's the case with Gillen. And I think your dates are wrong. So she never saw him or talked to him again after 2008-9, after the conviction.

That's not what's been reported. Well, I think there is a picture, quite a well-known picture now, which was pointed to by the prosecutor when they, or the day of Gieland's arrest, which shows her in quite a snug embrace with Epstein, which I think is dated to 2006 or something like that. Now, she was full out with this other fellow, Ted Waite at the time, and we know that they bumped into Epstein at some social event and he grabbed her round the neck and someone took a picture.

So, I mean, I'm not saying that they never saw each other, but it's that type of context in which that took place. Do you know how much money Epstein paid it? How much money you paid it? over the years? No. Because she was leading an extraordinarily affluent life, and no one was quite sure where all this money came from. And the presumption is it was her fees from Epstein.

I don't think that's entirely right. I mean, she was a very talented girl. She was an NASD trader in her own right. She had various skills, which she was able to turn into, including decorating houses and all the rest of it. So I don't accept that Epstein was her sole source of money, and nor do I believe that it's as vast as you painted. Well, I didn't say soul, and I didn't put a figure on it,

but the reports have suggested she got paid many millions of dollars over the time of their relationship, both personal and then strictly professional. Well, we would need to check this out. As I explained to you, she had a professional relationship with him, looking after his house, as decorated. Sure. It's entirely possible that the accounts, and to which... some of the money went for these substantial decorations, including the plane and so forth,

may have come close to her. I can't tell you that, but that's what I suspect. I don't think these numbers are very real at all, so I don't like it. In the trial, there was exhibit GX-52. This was Glein's supposedly little black book. Most of the contents were redacted from court filings. In a November 12 filing, federal prosecutors contended the book contained compelling evidence of Maxwell's of Gilein's guilt.

In 2015, Gawker, the website at the time, published a redacted copy of its contest, including the names of world leaders, famous performers, business titans, and so on. What can you say about the little black book of all the details? Listen, there was an address book for sure. It had the names of people, famous people,

people that work for them, friends, whatever. You have one, I have one. So let's not try and big it up for more than it is. I think it was a high-quality address book. I don't think it constitutes a list, let alone a list of alleged people to whom young minor girls were trafficked. So Gillen's position on this for what it's worth. She doesn't ever believe that such a list existed. But do you believe that Epstein was a predatory paedophile? Because many people believe he may have abused thousands of girls, many of whom were underage. That is the working presumption about Epstein. Do you believe that?

Well, you know, I do I believe it? I believe that he had some really strange predilections for young girls. It's called paedophilia. Let's call it what it is. Okay. You want to call it Peterphelia? Well, he was convicted of it, so it's a pretty good indication that that's what he liked. So there's no issue that that was his motors operandi for his own pleasure.

But I don't believe that it goes beyond his own predilections. So all these men that were going to the island, going to the houses for these parties, Prince Andrew, for example, who was wrapped with his arm, photographed his arm, Virginia Dufre with Gilein in the background. Now, let's deal with that. Well, we'll come to that moment. Well, we will.

But is your position, and obviously you would know from what Gilein's told you that it's her position, is the position that, yes, he was a massively predatory paedophile for decades, but that Gilein, who was around him for large amounts of that period, that she knew nothing about, any of that.

Well, we've got to go back in time. And I know you pressed it to one side. But in the 2006-7 indictment of Epson, which is the first time the authorities booked him, if you want, the police detective who ran the entire charge for the Miami Police Department, which was responsible for doing the investigation, was asked on oath.

Was Gielan Maxwell at Target? No. Was Gieland Maxwell's name mentioned? No. That's not my question. You've asked me a question about you. Yeah. You made a statement.

Forgive me. Can I finish? Yeah, but there wasn't the question. You said to me, you said to me, Gieland was there for a large part of decades. Yes. This just isn't true. Well, so the 90s and 2000s?

No. That's a quick allusion. That didn't happen. They meet in 91. The intimate, I believe, until the tail end of the 90s. The professional relationship begins then. The new associate, I mentioned, Sarah Kellerman, comes in, does all whatever, the organizing of the normal backwards and forwards of his life is concerned with.

And she goes with Ted Wade from 2003 to 2011. I've said they bumped into Epstein from time to time. So we're talking about, remember, the indictment alone runs 94, 2001 of Gillen. in diamonds. And so I tried to explain to you that she was cut out of communications and cut out of his life in large elements. So this is a man who compartmentalized his life and compartmentalized his personal life. And it's important that Gilein, I can only assume based on those emails of saying excluded here, and exclude her there, because she is a crucial conduit to important men, political men, bankers and so forth. You can't mix those two.

Do you accept that she may have pulled the wool over your eyes? What if you could delay your next two mortgage payments? That's right. Imagine putting those two payments in your pocket and finally getting a little breathing room. It's possible when you call American financing today.

Or visit Americanfinancing.comnet slash p. is. No. I believe myself. I've been known her for 60 years. I guess. I'm not going to suddenly say she started pulling the wall. I don't think so. I don't believe so. Not for a second. Not for a second. And interestingly, President Trump was asked the only time, I believe, in public, at the tail end of his presidency, so say November, December, 2021 about Gilem. And he said, you know, I don't know much about it, but I wish her well. And I don't think that anyone else showed the slightest piece of humanity. Not anybody at that time.

And yet he did. He didn't need to. He's the President of the United States. The most powerful man in the world. He could have just sloughed it off. He did. He made a positive statement. I'm very grateful to that.

I know Gilan was to. Do you think that she will testify to Congress if she's given immunity? Well, I've just told you that there are multiple... I understand that, but... Wait a minute. Is that what she would require... If you want to be answered the question,

you've got to me explain it to you. The immunity... You've got to be careful about things like immunity in a situation where you've got live legal proceedings. We can't find that if Gillen says, okay, I'm going to start testifying that she is somehow attacked ex post facto for

procedural nonsense and she's accused of lying to Congress and this is, you cannot take this lightly. We just heard about the possible subpoenaing or the definitive subpoenaing or whatever. It doesn't mean that

when she, if a subpoena is a command to come to Congress and to testify. but it could be possible for Gielan not to testify. She may be advised in the midst of her legal proceedings that she should take the fifth, which would be a pity, because she's never taken the fifth, not once,

not in any of the civil proceedings, not once. No, but she didn't testify in her criminal case. That's the right of every defendant. Sure, but she didn't testify, is my point. She did not testify, because she believed... She's never actually testified under oath about any of this, right? She believed that the government had not made its case. it's not for Guillen to make the government's gates.

I understand, but she could have testified. She could have testified. Of course she could have testified. Let me ask you, do you believe Jeffrey Epstein killed himself? I have to say that that was my original view. I think it's entirely plausible that that could have happened. However, I think the jury must be out on the manner of his death. I think the investigation was shoddy.

I think it was cursory. I think the guards involved were let off pretty lightly. I think the footage we've seen of the film is not terribly conclusive. There's a flex from a CPAP machine which helps you breathe better. Why couldn't that have been used as a ligature? We don't know. And the pathologist that was brought in by the Epstein family did not consider that the injuries to Epstein's neck were conclusive

of suicide and he thought it was more likely that it was homicide. And so that's my take on it. Remember, prisons are damn dangerous places. There are murderers on the wing where he was. He is a convicted pedophile. So, you know, nonsense, as we call them in Britain, get short shrift in prison.

You know it and I know it. Do you worry that if your sister agrees to testify that her life will be in danger? I think Gillen's life is endangered today. She's in a prison. It's a violent place. And we know that there's heavy overcrowding in Tallahassee, that now higher category prisoners are being admitted.

So yes, I think it's, you know, the prisoners are wash with drugs. It's extremely violent. You know, it also is so ridiculous. She has no paper. Pierce, she can't even instruct her lawyers. I mean, what kind of a situation? situation is this? Where is the justice in that system?

Tell me briefly about the Prince Andrew photograph. The infamous picture with his arm round Virginia Dufray with your sister in the background. Some people have tried to cast aspersion over the veracity of that, but we know that Andrew paid a reported $11 million to avoid having this argument in public court. So what is your view of it? Well, you've made several points. The first thing I want to deal with is the is the photograph. This photograph was allegedly taken on the 10th of March 2001. I think I'm right about that. The weekend of 10-11 March. Now, Gieland had flown from the United States to England for one purpose that weekend. It was to attend my mother's 80th birthday celebration which took place 35 miles away from 50 miles away from London at my then

sister-in-law's house the house of my brother Kevin we have footage of gillen in that weekend on that weekend there we have people who saw her there now you cannot be in two places at the same time that's my take on the picture you you draw the conclusion well 30 Miles is not that far to drive. You draw the buck in the midst of a family gathering. So you're saying the picture was fake? I'm saying you can't be in two places at once. So is a picture fake, do you think?

What do you think? From that, from that... Well, if the picture was fake... If your picture... Gieland has herself considered that she has no memory of that picture ever been taken. She has no memory of the event taking place, and for what it's worth, nor did Prince Andrew because he's on... So why did he give Virginia, do you...

$11 million to avoid a court case he vowed to have. The real reason that he folded his tent was not that he didn't have a decent case or a decent crack at proving that Virginia Joufrey was a serial liar, which we know is the case because Professor Dershowitz was accused also of having slept with her. But unlike Andrew, he stuck to his guns and she had to pull. Now, you have to remember... Hang on one second. But, Ian, on the question of whether Virginia Jufre

lied about Gilein, as you know, Virginia Jufre sued Gilein for calling her a liar and in the end, Gillain paid a reported millions of dollars as a settlement. Why would she have done that if Virginia Jufre was lying? Let's just get back to finish your question on Andrew because you've asked that question I haven't answered. you have to remember the context in which he filled it.

It was his mother's 70th Jubilee year. She's at the end of her life. She's at the end of her reign. She wants to finish, go out on a bank, and this could not happen. I think he folded his tent either at her direct request or at the request of other members of the family that said, we can't have this.

It's too bad. You just have to fold it, take the pain, and just move on. Right. Now, so that's as far as Andrew is concerned. In the case of Gulen, it's a really different position because the transcripts of the several case between Jufre and Gilein found their way utterly inappropriately, and as we now know, illegally,

her criminal trial, but the transcripts as affecting Jufri. So what came into the trial was all of what Gillen had to say and what Gillen did, but not what Jouffrey has admitted and what Jufri did. So part of what we want to get released, and which we hope that President Trump will authorise, the DOJ will proceed, and Pam Bondi will get on with this, is to have all of those transcripts in the public domain. But why did Gilein pay her millions of dollars?

Listen, it reached a point where the matter was sealed. There would be no more finished to the whole thing. It was finished. She had enough. They came to her arrangement. We don't know what that arrangement was, actually. I don't know to this day. It finished.

Just finally, there's a lot of speculation about whether Epstein was some kind of Israeli agent working for Mossad or some other entity. And there's also been a further suggestion that your father, Robert Maxwell, was also an Israeli agent, maybe also working for Moss. What can you say about that? Well, just dealing with my father briefly, it's well known that he was a major supporter of the state of Israel. From its independence war, 1948, unknown to me, but described in a book that came out a few years ago, he was instrumental in ensuring that Israel had spitfires and replacement parts required to defend itself and to ensure that it won that particular war later on when he was a much more well-known man.

He discovered the treachery of Vanunu. This was a man who had exposed Israel's nuclear secrets and ended up being quite helpful to Israel to get him and get him into jail. So that's as far as my father's concerned. I would dispute the idea that he was a member of Mossad or that he was in some kind of an agent of theirs. I think he was definitely a strong supporter of the state of Israel. Certainly he was on the Arab boycott and was proud of it. Epstein, I had not a clue. We know that one of the former Israeli prime ministers, Barack, I think, just last week, said that it was not the case.

quite the contrary why would he take such a man on to to be an agent? So that's been, that's what Israel has to say about it. As for Gulen, I have not the slightest now that my father would never have involved in any such matters.

Not with the Mosser, not with the British Secret Service, nothing. So I dispute all of that. Your father fell off a boat, his boat, as everybody knows. How do you believe you die? I have always accepted that it was an accident, that he fell from that boat. We know from some of the autopsy

pictures released that there are really terrible tears and muscles on his back, which would be indicating that he's tried to hang on either to the stairs or to the stern of the boat. So he was not a well man at the time of his death. He was very, very overweight. And so I think that's good for me. And I just don't buy the murder, although Gielen does and has always thought that he was murdered. Have you had any contact with Prince Andrew? Have I? Yeah, recently. No. Not recently, not, I think I met him at a time when Gieland was with him, or, you know, saw quite a bit of him, and that would have been at least 15, 18, 20 years ago. So no. Ian Maxwell, thank you very much for your time. I appreciate it.

Joining me now is the host of the Benny Show, Benny Johnson, the PBD podcast Angry Patriot, Vinnie O'Shanna. Mick Mulvaney, the former Chief of Staff to President Trump. Before I go to the panel, I'm going to speak briefly to Congresswoman Lauren Bowman. He's been waiting patiently. Thank you all for your time. It was a fascinating interview there with Gilea Maxwell's brother, so I just wanted to complete that first.

Let me just ask you, Lauren Bowman, first, your reaction to the fact that the House in Congress now wants, to depose, it seems, Gilein Maxwell? Yes, well, my colleague, Tim Burchett from Tennessee, has language to bring her in before the Oversight Committee and have Gilene Maxwell testify. You just spoke in your previous segment about immunity. There have been rumors on the Hill that she wants a pardon before she would do that.

That's not confirmed to me, but certainly rumors that have been spoken about. And so I don't know if she would come before Congress with an immunity deal, with a pardon deal. I don't think that this is somebody who should be pardoned or maybe when we hear what we have to say, maybe she should. But I don't see anything wrong with having the star witness actually say what's happening. Now, President Trump, he has done so many things that unfortunately are being overshadowed, by this. We are all about truth and transparency, and I do trust the president's timing that he will get this out. We've had votes in the Rules Committee on such language. There's a discharge petition that I'm a co-sponsor of. Congressman Thomas Massey has drafted this language

with a Democrat to get Democrat supports. Of course, they're all over this right now. It's the first hint of corruption that they've ever wanted to expose. I mean, I've been in Congress, trying to expose Hunter Biden and the Biden crime family all of this time. Even Joe Biden's cognitive decline. And there was like nothing to see here, folks. They looked like the penguins in Madagascar. You didn't see anything. And now all of a sudden they're about truth and transparency.

But I do agree with Congressman Tim Burchett and even many parts of the discharge petition that I'm a co-sponsor of in getting truth out to the American people, mainly because I want President Trump to continue on his amazing successes and what he is doing for the country and not be distracted by this mess. I've had communications with the White House. I do trust that there is a timing for this. And right now, we honestly should be talking about the treasonous activity that we have seen with Barack Obama as he was going out of his administration. and what our Secretary Gabbard has uncovered. That should be the main topic today. But instead, we are focused on Epstein.

And I just want to say one more thing, Pierce, for years, we wanted to talk about Epstein. And no one would. Everyone called us crazy. They called us conspiracy theorists. And now all of a sudden, this is the hottest issue. And the Democrats who are saying that they have seen things that they, that Republicans didn't try hard enough to get information out. Where were they the past two years, the past four years, the past six years? Where were they in actually getting information out to the public then? So it's fine to have the

conversation. It's even better to get information out to the American people. And your interview there was very, very fascinating. He certainly has more information on this topic than I ever would. So it was great to be here in the waiting room watching that interaction. Well, I appreciate your patience. I think in relation to the Epstein scandal and the Trump administration, it's simply that Adelaina Haber on this show several months ago in which she was absolutely ramping up to fever pitch what was likely to be in the Epstein files,

and then suddenly, bang, everything gets shut down in a very mysterious and sudden way on a Friday night, and it's exactly the kind of behavior that honestly, this had been the Biden administration had done that, exactly the same Furori would have been fired up, but by you guys. So I do understand why the whole thing blew up the way it did. But listen, Lauren Bovem, I appreciate you joining me. Thank you for your patience.

I'm going to go to the rest of the panel. Benny Johnson, it's very interesting. I mean, I've never met Ian Maxwell before. Obviously, he is her brother. You know, many people may watch it and think, well, he would say all that, wouldn't he? And there may be, there may well be merit to some of the procedural arguments he's making about way this all got played out. But it does remain the case that is completely baffling to me

how the only person who's ever been made legally accountable for the actions of Jeffrey Epstein, one of the most predatory paedophiles, certainly high-profile paedophiles in modern American history, is a woman who's languishing in jail and no other men, apparently, were ever involved in any criminal activity with this guy. What is your view about this?

First off, kudos. to you, Pierce. I just, that, that interview was spectacular. What, what the hell is going on here, peers? So he's saying that the Prince Andrew photo is fake? Are you, you're joking. He's saying that that that there's a doctored photos. This is the, this is the opinion of the Maxwell family, that she never hung out with Prince Andrew. And then two questions later, he says, when they were all hanging out together with Prince Andrew, uh, exactly what the hell just happened. That's crazy talk, man. And then his admissions about his father and his workings with foreign intel agencies. These are bombshell, these are some bombshell admissions and some things that I really hope

get asked in the federal testimony that is going to be elicited from Jolene Maxwell that I have sources inside of the DOJ and the FBI that says that meeting is on the books. It's not something that they're dangling in front of us peers. It's not some shiny object. It's happening. It's already on the schedule as going to happen. And so what's going to become of that? I'd really love to see the answers to that question. Jelaine Maxwell is on the record saying she doesn't believe

that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. Well, why exactly? What was the operation? Did you literally sex traffic thousands of women to no one who was your father? Did you meet Prince Andrew? Is this a doctored photo as you just elicited out of her brother?

These are wild bombshells. Bang on, peers. That interview was something. Well, also, I just think in the end, you know, Andrew paid Virginia Jufre $11 million, reportedly, to not go to court and clear his name as he vowed to. And secondly, Gilein Maxwell paid apparently several million dollars to Virginia Jouffray to avoid going to court and defending herself against her claims that she, that Virginia Jufre was a liar.

So, you know, look, I agree that in America, a lot of people, people settle without any omission of fault or blame or guilt. However, however, when a load of people caught up in one of the biggest scandals of modern times are paying millions of dollars to people while simultaneously claiming they weren't victims and nothing happened. And there's nothing to see here, Gov. I'm just not buying it. Well, here's, I think, the most important part. And if you speak with any federal prosecutor, as we've done multiple times on my show, you'll find something very strange here. And it really aligns perfectly and locks in with the Diddy trial. And there are major connections between the two. But here's the most major glaring connection that any federal

prosecutor will scream from high heavens until his voice cracks over, which is you can't charge a RICO case without any co-conspirators. The way a RICO case and a Kingpin case works, and Epstein's case was a kingpin case was you start bringing in the lower level people and charging them. Same thing with Diddy with the RICO case. You bring in the people who brought in the prostitutes or found the young women who set up the freakoffs, who set up Epstein's Island. You prosecute the pilots. You prosecute the underlings.

And then you build yourself up to a RICO case. In both cases, it was a wrap-up operation. The prosecution peers was the cover-up. this was an opportunity for the federal government to seal something not to expose to something. And that's what has bothered so many people. They are intricately connected. Okay, Vinnie, do you accept that this has all been handled

incredibly badly by the Trump administration? Because I think that's inarguable now, right? I mean, they walked everybody up up the hill and then right at the point that certainly I think a lot of MAGA voters were experiencing, to have full disclosure on all the Epstein files. Elon Musk suddenly goes public and says, bombshell, Donald Trump's, you know,

the biggest bombshell is that he's in the Epstein files. Two, three weeks later, everything is shut down. You know, you don't have to be a mad conspiracy theorist to say, well, what's going on here? I did, and I've known Donald Trump 20 years, and like him very much, and I totally accept that he might be completely blameless when it comes to anything involving Epstein

of a nefarious nature, but the sequence of events here is not good. Absolutely not, Pierce, and it's good to see you again. And, Jim. But, yeah, Pierce, and here's the thing, Pierce, it's all the people, it's the team around him. Okay, he didn't, Trump did make a promise. Pierce, when he was asked, you know,

will you release JFK? Yes, Bar-Luther King, yes, 9-11, yes. Jeffrey F.C., yeah. But with that one, I kind of, you know, we kind of got to be careful, okay? So it wasn't like he ran on it. It wasn't a campaign promise. But when your team, the Pan Bondys, the Casper Tells, and Dan Bongino, who I admire and I love a lot, are out there on the front lines making all these promises.

Pierce, you personally, if you had your team of producers and all these people around you, they're speaking on your behalf and they're making all these promises, wouldn't you be like, hey, guys, shut the hell. Like, what the hell are we doing? Well, it's shady from the beginning. I think it's worse than that, because we all know how Donald Trump operates. They wouldn't have all been doing that off their own bat, right? they'd have all been doing it because they had been encouraged to do it. They were speaking on behalf of his administration. So something went down, and I don't know what it was,

and maybe it was the Elon Musk thing. I don't know what it was. I mean, we've now got the Wall Street Journal, obviously, publishing what they claimed was a hand-drawn, boardy letter bearing Donald Trump's name to Jeffrey Epstein at Gillane Maxwell's request for his 50th birthday album in 2003. a pair of small arcs donate women's breasts, a future president's signature,

is a squiggly Donald below her waist, mimicking pubic hair. Now, Trump has responded by saying it absolutely wasn't anything that he did. He's now suing the Wall Street Journal. He's suing Rupert Murdoch for billions of dollars, and we'll have to see how that all plays out. But it certainly was no doubt

that they were very good friends for a period of time. It's also no doubt, but to his credit, Trump dropped him when he became knowledge. he was a convicted pedophile, which a lot of other people didn't, including, I don't believe, Gilae Maxwell. So I do think there's life before the conviction and life after the conviction for public figures.

If you carried on, like Prince Andrew, hanging around a guy who's been convicted of soliciting an underage girl for sex, then I think, I'm afraid, you are then guilty by association, right? You can try and pretend you're not, but you are. Here's, I have a quick question for you. Yeah.

You've known Donald Trump for 20 years, admittedly, yes? Okay. You've hung out with them in private. You've hung out with them in public. Yes. Okay. Have you ever known him to be a limp-risted fespian, like a vaudevillian poet that would write enigmatic, mysterious poems to Jeffrey Epstein? And then wear some type of French hat and draw beautiful outlines of women scantily clad. Like, does it sound like Donald Trump to you? Well, I could, all I can say, well, I can say two things about that. I'll say three things about that. One, he's never done that to me. in either written or verbal form. Secondly, evidence has come out that he's been quite a doodler in his time. So I don't think he's never non-doodled. And thirdly, as you probably know, Ben,

I mean, I've got probably 150 handwritten scrolls from Trump over things he's read about me, emails I've sent him. That's his way he corresponds. He doesn't use email himself. He'll send you back a printout of your email and he'll scrawl with his Sharpie, whatever he wants to scroll.

So he's a scrawler and apparently a doodler, but I have never known him right in the way that you're talking about. So it's going to be a really interesting case here. Listen, the Wall Street Journal wouldn't have published that if they weren't convinced it was genuine. But Trump has been in fact in his denial. Well, no, listen, I don't know. Apparently, they don't even have the documents.

Shouldn't we call them to them to release every letter? Wouldn't that be fair? When was Bill Clinton writing Jeffrey Fing at that time? Benny, I don't know the answer to the question. you're asking, and it'll be interesting if this actually goes to any actual trial about it. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the biggest problem is, is that, that, that, truth social posts where Trump goes, hey, listen, if you're still talking about it, why are you talking about it, then I don't need your support. And it's like, what are you, what are you

talking about? People like me who've been there since 2016 in Los Angeles, I had to move, I was doing stand-up comedy and acting. You know how much crap I had to get a go-through, punch in the head because I had a red hat, wasn't even a Trump hat. All the jobs that I missed, all my career suffered from it. Pat, we're right or die. And that's, I think that's where people were pissed off. Don't just, don't just discard us, okay? And just tell us the absolute truth. You know, we just want the truth. Tell us the truth. Tell us what the hell is going on. I mean, like, it's, Vinny, I hear you. Because I do think a lot of MAGA voters feel exactly the same way. But I think they were deliberately led up a pathway here on the.

the Epstein files, that A, it was a really big deal, and that B, there was a lot that the public weren't being told that was available to the authorities. And at the moment, the Trump gang got back into power, that this would all be revealed. And then after Donald Trump won, the team carried on revving everybody up. Let me come to you, Mick Mulvaney, if I may. We're going to fix Vinnie's earpiece, I think. Mick Mulvaney, as we're talking, as we're talking, The House Speaker Mike Johnson has just sent the House into recess early, shutting down until September to block a vote calling for the release of the Epstein files. He says it's because the Democrats are playing political games. All other votes have been cancelled in order to prevent the vote on Epstein.

So the idea of this isn't having real world significant consequences is obviously for the birds. When the House is shutting down and other votes have been cancelled because they can't take a risk of a vote. on Epstein, then it's a big deal. And I think it's a big deal because of all the activity on the Trump side before and after the election about these files.

What's your view? I think that's fair. I've never seen this happen before. I've been in Washington for 15 years. I was in Congress for six. I don't remember ever seeing Congress just shutting down this early July and leaving until September.

Keep in mind, and I know that's not what this segment is about, but there's a lot of other things that Congress needs to be doing, the federal government runs out of money the end of September, so they're staring at a federal shutdown if they don't pull something off when they get back. This is a big, big deal. And I think it comes back to the point you guys have raised. They don't know how to handle it. Everybody's confused because Trump did make a big deal about this for a long time.

I thought rightly so. And then just to sort of turn on a dime and say there's nothing to see here as a bunch of people scratching their heads. One of the most interesting things I've learned in this interview is a bunch of fascinating stuff. You had Lauren Bobert on there. I don't think you'll find anybody more pro-Trump than Lowen-Bowbron in the United States House representatives. She has signed a discharge petition. That means very little to folks out in the real world.

That's the most treasonous thing you can do against your leadership in the United States House. So if there's enough Republicans willing to go against the Speaker of the House and say, you know what? We don't care. We want this stuff to come out. That's also just sort of thumbing their nose at the president. Donald Trump a couple weeks ago got to ask you. What does MAGA really mean? And he said, and he's got the right to say this.

He's magot means whatever I say it means. This is putting this to the test. I do think they've stepped here. I think they've already sort of tacitly admitted that by saying they're going to now try to release the grand jury testimony. See if that satisfies everybody. It won't. But they do have a problem here. And for the sake, look, to be perfectly clear, and I don't know if this has been, I think if anybody said this explicitly, I apologize for the repetition,

I don't expect there's anything criminal about Donald Trump in these files. name going to be in there? Sure, there's a bunch of names in there, but there's nothing incriminating here. Why do I believe that? Because if there were, the Democrats who have controlled this file for the last four years would have either leaked it out or put it out professionally. That's exactly what I think. Why wouldn't they? They're chucking everything else at him. They were trying to get him jailed, left, right, and same. Wouldn't this be worse? Wouldn't it be worse than the end? Sorry, don't all talk about it. I'm going to be worse than the answer. Benny. Benet. Yeah. Pears, unless they're on the list, like,

think about it. You want to talk about Democrats? Like, of course they wouldn't want this out. Like, has anybody asked Bill Clinton? Why? Why did Jeffrey Epstein visit the white? Yeah, but you see, Benny, that's also a good point, but that also raises the question that given they

hadn't released anything, then that's why everybody wanted the Republicans to, and then they didn't. Benny, my thing, Benny, my thing with Trump is, you can normally tell when he's worried about something by the sheer volume of things he does to try and distract everybody's attention.

And several days ago, he posted more than two dozen times on his social media platform, Truth Social, in just a couple of hours, phony mugshots of Obama showing him apparently being arrested in the Oval Office, posting about the NFL's Washington Commanders, demanding they change their name back to the Redskins, posting a video of a bikini-clad woman picking up and tossing a snake, a man, some of all seen down a stairway,

a red Lamborghini, careering beneath a truck a man jumping a fence and coming face to face with a speeding train. A woman breakdancing, a billiars tree, a man hacking away

a rock formation, a dirtbiker doing stunts, a jet ski, a man ascending an obstacle course with a ladder, a man jump roping, a man pulling a block from a still standing

massive Jenga tower, a man tossing rubbish into a dumpster from his balcony, a man doing a flip, somebody carrying a heavy object on their shoulders, a man juggling a drop package of paper towels

and someone doing a skate board trick. I mean, there's a lot of distraction there, Benny. That sounds like a great social media feed. It was actually very entertaining. I'm going to follow. Very entertaining, but normally something

that he reserves for when he really is quite worried about something. Well, yes, that's right. It's the same account that's also posted Kill All Terrorists, You Dumb Bastards, and posted constantly about Rosie O'Donnell. And somebody who also said he has a bigger button than Kim Jong-un. I think, Mick, you might have been at the White House,

actually, when that post was, I have a big red button, and it actually works. Once again, this is President Trump, and the actions today, I don't know if, I know you weren't taking it live because we were doing the interview, but the actions that President Trump said today in the White House moments ago when he was asked about this, he fielded a number of questions on Epstein, he said, let Pam Bondi release everything, let the FBI release everything, let them interview Jolaine Maxwell. I'm confounded as to why Jolene Maxwell has never once gotten an opportunity to explain herself, not in her trial.

She never spoke, not to the press. The one time that she did an interview from prison, she said, Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself, and I think they got to him. Well, who's they exactly? That's what shrouds the mystery here. And the move by the DOJ, I think we need to take a moment, step back and say, wait a second, this is the first time that the DOJ has ever reached out to Jelaine Maxwell in the history of us trying to understand what the Epstein op actually is.

And this goes back 20 years. If you really want to get down to the true cover-up, and this is what makes my blood boil, that people inside of the current Trump administration are walking around with a dark cloud over them for a cover-up that happened 20 years ago when President Trump was a TV host. This was happening in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008,

with Robert Mueller at the FBI, with Alberto Gonzalez as our attorney general and George W. Bush as our president. This is when Epstein actually properly caught his sweetheart deal so sweet it'd give you diabetes type two fears. He was able to walk in and out of prison. He was dead to rights. Jeffrey Epstein should not be on the tip of anyone's tongue today.

He should be rotting in a prison cell for life. Now, something dark happened then, 20 years ago nearly, and it had nothing to do with President Trump. No one in President Trump's team was in power. And I know clips from my show, Cash Patel have gone viral, clips from your show, Alina Haba has gone viral, but none of these people were in power. None of them should have to answer for the cover-up. That happened 20 years ago, and that should truly be the nexus of our questions.

What happened then when Jeffrey Epstein was caught underage trafficking over 50 women in 2025? What happened was he started giving up sources to the FBI. Robert Mueller gave him immunity in 2005, this is a correction. 2005, Robert Mueller was the head of the FBI. You know who was also at the FBI as a deputy? James Comey at that time, peers. And so then through the course of the prosecution in Florida, the federal charges are dropped. Alex Acosta gets told he belongs to Intel and to not look into it.

Jeffrey Epstein gets the sweetest of sweetheart deals, and Jelaine Maxwell is arguing that I have immunity because the federal government told me I have immunity forever, which is something of course the federal government never does. So that's insane. Let me ask you this. So you're looking at those questions. Listen, I think you raise, listen, you make a lot of very good points. I totally agree with you. But on this point about how Speaker Mike Johnson shutting the House down to avoid a vote on Epstein,

how does that do anything but just ramp everything up tenfold? Totally agree with you. You know, we went thermonuclear viral, made international news last week by asking Mike Johnson live on our stream inside of the United States Capitol about this issue. And he said he's totally in favor of full disclosure. But what he said today was that he wants...

And I agree. I contend that. that there are countervailing opinions here. But Mike Johnson told me, in a two-minute, what I thought very thorough answer, that he wants full disclosure here and that he'd be okay with Jeline Maxwell testifying before Congress.

Now, what he said today was that he wants to give the White House time to maneuver this or to work on this. I'm not sure he's exact language. So maybe Mick, who's been a member of Congress, you know, can commentate on what that actually means. But that's what he told us last week. Well, I'll come to Mick in a moment. Vinnie, what do you feel about that? I mean, I just think that's such a bad move. To shut the House down and to block other votes happening simply so you can stop a vote on the Epstein scandal just seems to me a ridiculously inflammatory act, which is only going to pour fuel onto all the conspiracy flames. I agree 100%. It's like, it's like, Pierce, how many more games do we have to play? And at the end of the day, the root of all this, and I'm

I know Benny could attest. Benny has a family. You guys have kids. These are the, we're talking about children. Okay? The most overlooked, uncared about freaking group of freaking people on the planet. We had 300,000 during Obama missing at the border. Trump, God bless him.

They found with Thomas Holman 10,000. But at the crux of this whole thing, and Benny made a great point. 40, 50 women came out. We were, you know, taking advantage of. We were sexually assaulted by this guy. And what? He's free to go, and it's the they. Who's Alex Acosta saying?

They said he worked for intelligence. Who are they? Who are these people? And, peers, there's a lot of debate where people like, why would you want to do this? Maybe society's built on all this blackmail. If he works for Assad and they have all this dirt, then the whole system's going to come down.

There's a Latin term, and it says, let justice be done, though the heavens fall. I don't give a damn, peers, what happens to the system? We're talking about children that were sexually, that were raped, that were freaking potentially murdered, Pierce, because if you think about it, these children, These underage 13, I know Epstein love girls who braces.

Those are 10, 11-year-old girls. What do you think happens with them when they sleep with one of these higher-up people, like a really famous person? You think they just let them go? No, they're discarded, peers. And that's the main part of it. And Trump needs to wrangle this freaking team. You know what, Vinnie?

Yeah. We know what happens to some of them, because we know what happened to Virginia Dufray. She may not have been an impeccable witness. She obviously got things wrong with Alan Dershowitz. But the truth is, she was. paid millions by Prince Andrew and by Gilling Maxwell not to go into a courtroom. And in my experience, when people pay millions of dollars to people, it's not because they've

never met them or there's anything to answer. Right? So she recently, here's my point. She recently took her own life, right? So, you know, some of these victims are actually taking their lies because of the appalling trauma that they went through. And so there are real-time consequences that are now reverberated. for many years after all this stuff.

He was one of the worst pedophiles in America. Let's be clear. And Gillane Maxwell was at his side for a lot of that time, and I just don't buy the protestations of innocence. Mick Mulvaney. Vinny, sorry, go on, make your final point. Young, don't be appears, me neither. And what was Prince Andrew?

Pays $11 million, and what did the Queen do? What was his punishment? Jail? No, he was stripped of royal speaking duties. So if you're a pedophile and you're out there, your goals should be in a good family or be as rich and famous as possible because then you could get away with it. All right, Pierce.

Why did Chase? Chase Bank paid almost $400 million. For what? Deutsche Bank paid $71 million to the victims. Where are all these people? If Galane is in jail, Pierce, where are the victims? You can't be in charge of a kingpin drug operation and you get arrested and there's no customers.

What the hell are we talking about? I totally agree. appears, it's handling it horribly. I completely agree. Mick Mulvaney, just finally, how damaging could all this be? Things seem to be moving at a fast lick here. And I do

think this action by the Speaker is just going to absolutely ignite this, because let's be honest, again, if this was the Biden administration and a Democrat Speaker of the House doing this to shut down a scandal because it may or may not name Biden in it,

all hell would be breaking loose from the other side. So I can only imagine how this is going to play out with the Democrats. You must be thinking Christmas has come early right when they've been at their weakest point. But what do you think of the political damage that Trump potentially faces here? Because I listen to someone like Vinny, who's always been unbelievably supportive of Donald Trump. He's maga personified in so many ways. And I can feel the sense of slight betrayal with Vinny. And slight, like, I've been let down here, and I don't blame him.

I would do too. I mean, keep in mind, Donald Trump's not running again, but the other Republicans are. I think what you've seen today with this suspension of Congress is that a tacit admission that they just don't know how to handle this lost in a lot of the discussion is the technicalities of the discharge petition would have been ripe tomorrow. So it would have been a privileged motion. And it could have passed as early tomorrow. And I think the House leadership just didn't know how to deal with that.

So they try to sort of take the next six weeks and figure out how to explain it, figure they have a better chance of winning in the press than they do on Capitol Hill. But they've got a tiger by the tail. They really do. One of the things that I think folks are really upset about is that Donald Trump has made a name for himself keeping his campaign promises. He's done on immigration. He's done it on taxes. This is the difference, right? He promised to do this. Now, I know Benny said he didn't exactly promises, you know, as aggressively. I don't remember that. I just remember him talking about the Epstein files during the campaign. And folks really are scratching their head. I think at the end of the day, six months from now, when we look back at this, if it's done in six months, it will be,

okay, did Donald Trump create the MAGA movement, or did the MAGA movement create Donald Trump? That's a fascinating test. Yeah. Trump really dictate what MAGA is, or are they going to dictate it to him over the course of these Epstein files? That's going to be fascinating to watch. That's such a great question. It's such a great way to end. Guys, thank you again for your patience, but I think it was worth it to have that Ian Maxwell interview go a bit longer than we planned because it was so interesting. But I really appreciate your patience in waiting and I really appreciate the debate we've had since it. Thank you very much.
