Donald Trump is not handling the release of the Epstein estate photos. Well, the ones that include
Starting point is 00:01:36 multiple photos of Donald Trump on it that were released earlier today by Democrats from the House Oversight Committee, Donald Trump just wrapped up a press conference in the Oval Office where he was asked about it, where he goes, I know nothing about it. He's also falling asleep again at this press conference, and then he'd get like manic and put on a cowboy hat also. It was really deranged, but let me show you what went down. Here, Donald Trump has asked about the newly surfaced photos from the Epstein estate that were just released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, and here's what Donald Trump says. Here, play this clip. There were new Epstein photos released today showing you and also Bill Clinton, Steve Bannon. What were your
Starting point is 00:02:21 reaction to those new photos that were released? Well, I haven't seen it, but I mean, everybody knew this man. He was all over Palm Beach. He has photos with everybody. I mean, almost there are hundreds and hundreds of people that have fun us with him. So that's no big deal. I know nothing about it. Then Donald Trump puts on a cowboy hat. Let's play this clip. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Thank you very much. Let's see, what do I do with that strip? You may be saying, why is Donald Trump putting on a cowboy hat? I don't know. Then Donald Trump is asked, well, what's your message to the 24 million Americans who are going to see their health insurance? premiums go up. Here, play this clip. Mr. President, at the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire.
Starting point is 00:03:09 What's your message to those 24 million Americans who will see their insurance premiums go up? I don't think it sounds so bad because, you know, obviously you're a, you know, a syncope fan for Democrats, you're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans. Let me just say something. The Republicans, I think I can speak for Tom and most of the people. I think what most Republicans want to see is what I want to see. And I leave it to them. And hopefully they're going to put great legislation on this desk right here.
Starting point is 00:03:41 You hear what Donald Trump says? He goes, your fake news. You make it sound so bad. Obviously, he goes, you're a psychophant. I think he means a sycophant for the Democrats. That's your response to the health insurance costs going up. Then Donald Trump continues to look at it. cowboy hat on his head here, play this clip.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Remember a certain governor in Massachusetts when they put that helmet on? That was not good. Michael did that. They put that helmet on. That was the end of his political. Then Donald Trump talks about how he's looking forward to engaging in land strikes on Venezuela as America's getting ready for war. It's just what he throws out in a press conference where he's wearing
Starting point is 00:04:27 cowboy hats and claiming he knows nothing about the photos that he's featured in with Epstein from the Epstein estate. Here play this clip. You talked about land strikes happening soon. Is there anything at this point that can prevent that? And is the objective, if you make that decision to the moment. But it's not only land strikes on Venezuela. It's land strikes on horrible people. And he talks about a hockey puck that's on his desk that Cash Patel handed him. And I guess there are people there from the Miracle on Ice, 1980s Olympics men's team. I mean, I don't know what they're even doing here.
Starting point is 00:05:07 But Donald Trump is saying, look at this hockey puck. Here play this clip. Oh, that's something. That puck was hit. We have a puck here. Does this mean anything or is this something he just gave me? I gave the FCI hockey puck. Oh, well, that's good.
Starting point is 00:05:22 That's good. I'll put it here and talk. you'll see him continue to cover up that hand of his you know we've been reporting and we've been showing you photos how his hand is decomposing and rotting away and obviously he's getting some sort of IV injection or shot in the back of his hand that he's covering up and um the trump regime yesterday said in a propaganda conference that it's because he shakes hands so many times a day that that's why his hand looks discolored like it was stuck in a piranha tank. But okay. Well, before I go on, just a reminder, hit subscribe. We're on our way to 6 million subscribers on this YouTube channel.
Starting point is 00:06:03 You know that this channel's under attack, right? By the Trump regime and they want this shutdown. We're trying to get to 6 million subscribers this month. So please, if you can, you may think you're subscribed. Double check that you're subscribed. Let me continue. Then Donald Trump talks about Congresswoman Ilan Omar. And Donald Trump says, let's listen to what he says. as here, play this clip. There's nothing worse than a person that comes in and there's nothing but bitch and comes from a place where she shouldn't be telling us
Starting point is 00:06:32 what to do, she shouldn't be telling us, and everybody agrees with me. Right, it's just so disgusting and vile with spews from this tyrant, this despicable human piece of trash's mouth. It's ridiculous. Donald Trump then is asked about what role he intends to play in the interest rate,
Starting point is 00:06:52 decisions of the Federal Reserve. And he says, I'm going to get involved and I'm going to make recommendations, which they're supposed to be total independence of the Fed from the Oval Office. But Donald Trump, who has bankrupted many of his businesses, probably could get the Guinness Book of Records, in my opinion, if there was one for bankrupting businesses. He's an utter failure in business. He's a destroyer, not a builder. He says that he's going to get involved in that. But he'll dabble in it and he'll make the recommendations of if interest rate should go down. And he previously said that it's going to be a prerequisite to who he picks, that they have to listen to him on interest rate cuts play this clip.
Starting point is 00:07:26 How in the role do you want to personally play in the decision by the Fed on interest rates? Well, you know, I've made a lot of money. I've been very successful. And I think my role should be at least that of recommending. They don't have to follow what I say, but we're going to be choosing a new Fed person in the pretty near future. But they went out, you know, they went out. you know, when that was 71 different people, all economists and Trump, I was 71.
Starting point is 00:07:54 And of the 71 people, I got it right at one of the person, I think, from the Wharton School of Finance, my alma mater got it right. There were two people that got it right, but I was one of them. So I think I certainly should have a role in talking to whoever the head of the Fed is or the Fed. I don't think that, you know, in the old days, it used to happen. Then Donald Trump continues to talk about name, image, and likeness payments going to college athletes. You know, I'll call it in a nine to zero decision that was reached in 2021. The Supreme Court essentially ruled that the NCAA couldn't prohibit player compensation. It's a little more complicated than that the ruling.
Starting point is 00:08:35 It's called the Alston decision. I teach it in my sports law class at USC, by the way. Then now you see all these college players getting paid. Donald Trump says that universities don't have. have a lot of money and they shouldn't be forced to pay the players and players shouldn't make any money because I know that I know that as you're about to have your health care torn away from you and as you're psychologically tortured living paycheck to paycheck if you're lucky enough to get a paycheck as you can't afford a home I know the main issue that you're thinking of right now right
Starting point is 00:09:03 is name image and likeness because that's that's top of Donald Trump's mind right now as Donald Trump pretends that America's in a golden age while the American economy is trash under this Trump regime, play this clip. And you can't pay a quarterback $14 million to come out of high school. They don't even know he's going to be a very good player. I mean, they've tried a couple of times, $14 and $12 million. And a couple of deals like that, and the most successful colleges are losing money. You know, when it comes to dog food, it always felt like you had to make a choice.

Starting point is 00:10:08 No more itching, no more eye boogers, none of it. It was wild how fast the change happened. And I love the story behind it.

While that press conference was taking place, there were more Epstein photos released from the
Starting point is 00:11:14 Epstein estate in the same batch of photos that feature Donald Trump and Epstein and girls looked like young girls with their faces redacted. We also see these photos are new, just released moments ago, as I'm recording this, massage therapy systems that were used by Epstein when he would sexually assault girls. This was in Epstein's photo. Trumpkin, make Halloween great again. And remember earlier, I showed you these photos of Donald Trump on an airplane with girls and or young ladies, unclear their age, basically, but look very, very young, with their faces redacted. Here's another one from the Epstein photo album or the Epstein photo book. Donald Trump, and it looks like a group of very young girls. You have this latex
Starting point is 00:12:02 glove that appears to be used for sexual purposes. Trump condoms. You have pussy pumps. You have Pussy Pumps. That's what it's called. It says Pussy Pump. And then it says extreme restraints. And then there looks to be a cartoon of an underage girl right there. You also have gags, jawbreaker gags in the same files with Epstein Trump photos. Trump knows nothing about this, though. Just that's what he's saying. He knows nothing about it. Trump's top advisor at that time, too, when Epstein was still alive. Steve Bannon meeting with Epstein, the photo behind or on Epstein's desk, appears to be a passed out underage girl, victim of Epstein right there. More photos of Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:12:44 We're hearing now also from Congress member Sam Ramani, and you've seen him on the Midas Touch Network. And he's asked, do you have pictures of people of men engaged in sex acts with girls in these photos? And he says they do. Here, play this clip. Point on that. Do you have pictures of people engaged in sexual acts as part of this?
Starting point is 00:13:05 As part of this release, yes, there are pictures of people engaged in sexual acts. Are there pictures of men not Jeffrey Epstein engaged in such acts? We're going through that. Again, the last time there was a big production, what we tried to do was release all the files eventually. We're trying to be selective about what we're released now. And so in this case, we're not really quite sure yet. Who is who? Certainly, there's a lot of people involved, though, in some of these acts. Okay, I'm almost sorry I asked.
Starting point is 00:13:41 And here's earlier in the day, Congress member Garcia, here's what he said, play this clip. Right now, our plan is to demand that the president release the files, and we'll see what he does on the 19th. But I think, again, these pictures, some of these photos are really disturbing. And I know we've put some out today. There are many others. And some of the other photos that we did not put out today are incredibly disturbing. And here's one more clip from Congressman Garcia. Let's play it. Obviously, just last night, we received about 95,000 photographs from the Epsina State.
Starting point is 00:14:12 I want to be clear. Our committee oversight Democrats have gone through maybe about 25,000 of them so far. So there's an enormous amount of photos that we have not gone through. It will take days and weeks to ensure that we go through those photos and that a redaction is done in the appropriate way. Let me just also say that clearly we have put out, I think maybe 15 to 20 of those photos this morning, Democrats have. We will continue to put out more photos in the days and weeks ahead.
Starting point is 00:14:42 But I just caution folks at the redaction process and ensuring that we are protecting the survivors and the women who were abused by Epstein are protected. There you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe, but let's get to 6 million. Thanks for watching. Love this video.
