The White House is in panic mode right now after the Vanity Fair story drop that has Donald Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles, describing Donald Trump as having the personality of an alcoholic saying that Donald Trump is all over the Epstein files. She describes J.D. Vance essentially as a complete phony.

She goes on to describe Elon Musk as a ketamine addict or words to that effect. She goes on to describe the rest of Donald Trump's cabinet as like utterly incompetent. She refers to Pam Bondi as completely blowing the Epstein. investigation and causing additional harm to Donald Trump while you're just covering it up. So you have all of the Trump regime officials, all of the cabinet members, all at once, they go post, post, post, post, post, post, post, post, post. And they're like, this is all fake news. Susie Wiles didn't say that. Susie Wiles is being taken out of context. Susie Wiles is the greatest. Vanity Fair. By the way, the Vanity Fair writer has her like on tape saying these things as well.

And I guess what Susie Wiles is trying to claim right now is that she was actually off the record and she didn't realize that this was on the record and now she was taken out of context. Like there's a bigger context when she said that Donald Trump has the personality of an alcoholic or that J.D. Vance is a phony or Elon Musk this or Pambandi that.

They're just taken out of context. So the White House just like rushed out someone who Donald Trump refers to as machine gun lips. machine gun lips, Leavitt, Donald Trump's chief propagandist. By the way, she was featured in this article as well. Here's the photo of Caroline Levitt for Vanity Fair, so you can see it for yourself. And here's what Levitt said during this presser about the Vanity Fair article. Here, play this clip.

As for the Vanity Fair article, Michael, I'll take your question directly. This is, unfortunately, another example of disingenuous reporting, where you have a reporter who took the chief of staff's words wildly out of context did not include the context those conversations were had within. And then further, I think the most egregious part of this article was the bias of omission that was clearly present. And we see a lot of this when dealing with the media every day. You will leave out important context, leave out comments and facts. You know, many people in this building spoke with that reporter and those comments were never included in the story, probably because it didn't push this false narrative.

of chaos and confusion that the reporter was clearly trying to push. So- And then apparently, Susie Wiles is now telling CNN that she didn't believe that she was on the record. Anyway, here, play this clip. I cannot tell you how many conspiracy theories I've heard about how this interview got published, whether it was the idea that she thought she was talking off the record, whether it was the idea that she was sitting

for some kind of other interview that wasn't going to be published immediately, that it has something to do with the 2028 campaign, because Susie Wiles is a calculated and political figure. Everything she does has meaning. She is not somebody who seeks the limelight. She doesn't get out there in the press and do constant interviews. So the fact that she did this to so many people who are close to President Trump

say that it must mean something. Now, of course, again, Wiles has said that that's not the case, that it was just taken out of context. There was an omission in much of what she said. But again, this has caused quite a stir here at the White House. Right. So the White House now needs a bigger distraction. So what are they doing? Donald Trump will be addressing the nation tomorrow night.

Interesting. Right before the Epstein files are due, right as this story is taking place, Donald Trump wants corporate news to cover his propaganda event right now. That's what he's trying to do. Well, let me just share with you right here. Here's what Caroline Levitt saying about Donald Trump's event. Let's play this clip. We greatly look forward to President Trump addressing the nation tomorrow night,

o'clock Eastern I hope your audience will tune in and Americans across the country will tune in to hear from their president as well about the historic accomplishments that he has garnered for our country over the past then Caroline levitt does what she normally does when she's in these situations attack former president Biden and she goes oh former president Biden just brought in fake jobs from foreigners he never actually brought in American jobs is just totally a lie I play this clip. And we know under the previous administration in Joe Biden that 100% of the jobs gained were for foreign-born workers.

These were for people who flooded our country and took the jobs of hardworking Americans. And so President Trump's policies of not just border security, but also incentivizing investment into our country. He's gone overseas to recruit trillions of dollars in new investments, new jobs, economic growth into our manufacturing industry here at home. going to continue to see all of that come to fruition,

which means more jobs for hardworking Americans and also an increase in their wages. But then Fox state regime media has to ask Caroline Levitt. So it seems like the White House worked pretty closely with Vanity Fair for this article. It seems like there were a lot of interviews and this was kind of done intentionally by the White House. Was it not?

And she says, no, it was Trump's the greatest president in history. She's the greatest chief of staff history, this is all one big hoax here, play this clip. To the series of articles, quote, the article published early this morning as a disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest president, White House staff, and cabinet in history. Significant context was disregarded in much of what I and others said about the team and the president was left out of the story. I assume after reading it that this was done to paint an overwhelmingly chaotic and

negative narrative about the president and our team. She goes on after that. You can read the full thing on X, but what happened? What went wrong? Well, look, I would just echo my boss, Susie Wiles, who is the best chief of staff in our nation's history, working for the greatest president in our nation's history, and that this was, unfortunately, another attempt at fake news by a reporter who was acting disingenuously and really did take the chief's words out of context.

But I think most importantly, the bias of omission was ever present throughout this story. the reporter omitted all of the positive things that Susie and our team said about the president in the inner workings of the White House. And as Susie said today, it's deeply unfortunate that happened, but it won't distract us from making America great again. And then she does what she normally does, attacks former president Biden, blames Biden for ISIS and says Donald Trump has destroyed all of ISIS. ISIS has been engaging in multiple terrorist attacks in Syria in the past few days. But go ahead, Caroline, play this clip. in the second term. We know in President Trump's first term, he completely destroyed and demolished

the ISIS Caliphate. He took out some of their key top members and leaders. And because of President Trump's policies in Syria and beyond, the Middle East is growing to be a safer place every day. If you look at how President Trump has embraced the Syrian president, removed sanctions from that country, and what happened, this absolute tragedy that took place of our soldiers who were killed, That was largely because of the dereliction of duty from the last administration and it reinforces President Trump's policy in this country now. She then says that Donald Trump was the one who created the expression, drill baby drill. She wants everybody to know that as well. Here play this clip. We do expect that number to continue to decline as President Trump's energy policies continue to kick in.

And he made up the slogan, drill baby drill. And that's what our Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, has been focused. focused on since day one, God blessed our country with amazing resources right under our feet. And as the vice... If you could stop somebody from breaking in before they got inside, why wouldn't you? Most old school systems go after someone when they're already in your place. That's too late.

So what's Donald Trump saying to distract right now is he's in panic mode? For those people that think I'm close with the new owners of CBS, please understand that 60 Minutes has treated me far worse since the so-called takeover than they have ever treated me before. If they are friends, I'd hate to see my enemies. And then he says this, okay. Can anyone believe that the unselect committee of political hacks and thugs illegally and criminally deleted and destroyed all information

having to do with their investigation into January 6th? The reason they did this is because it all came out my way. I was proven innocent, and they were proven to be liars and cheats. They must be held accountable and pay a very steep price, exclamation. You see his go-toes when Epstein files are getting released, when Susie Wiles says he has an alcoholic's personality, and he's all over the Epstein files. Susie Wiles said, you know, him and Epstein,

they were like playboys. They were like playboys, young playboys, going around town. together so i know that sounds passe she says but they were like playboys okay let's be very clear also the january sixth files are on google you could google them their archive when the maga republicans took over the house of representatives they removed them from the official congressional site and they got moved to the electronic archives you could google right now and you'll see the deposition transcripts the files all of the documents are available online Also, special counsel, Jack Smith wants to testify publicly about his two criminal cases

because there's so much lies being spread by Trump and the regime. Jack Smith, who was the lead prosecutor against Donald Trump in the Mar-a-Lago case where Trump is alleged to have stolen national security information like nuclear secrets and the January 6th case, Jack Smith's like, I'd like to testify publicly about it. And the MAGA Republicans are like, no, no, no, no, no, no. private deposition, we're going to keep this secret from the American people. Why keep it secret? Also, in the January 6th civil cases that have been filed against Donald Trump that are still pending, Donald Trump is asserting executive privilege to hide the tens and thousands of documents.

Trump's the one. Do you see that it's all projection? Trump has, go look at it. Trump filed objections not to turn over January 6th related documents in his custody and control. by asserting executive privilege. In addition to the documents that are archived and publicly available, they lie about everything. Then Donald Trump boasts about defunding Colorado after the state refused to acknowledge his pardon of Tina Peters, who was relating to the January 6th insurrection.

And so Trump is bragging that Department of Energy will be scrapping a $615 million investment in Colorado for their energy production. project so as people's energy prices are going up up up up great great work Donald you're showing them oh and then Donald Trump is post that he filed a powerhouse 10 billion dollar lawsuit against the BBC a power it's a powerhouse lawsuit everybody a powerhouse the hell does that even mean one of your stupid lawsuits that you file against the media companies and by the way BBC you better
