Hi. You crazy dog, this day is amazing for two reasons. Number one, Anna and I are both in the studio. We are. Okay, that's become a rarity these days. Yeah, but number two, but a little less important, Oh my God, we're gonna get the Epstein files. Are we? Okay, are we?

Are we? Well, sure, of course, we'll discuss that. Yeah. But I want to tell you guys why I think today is actually monumentally important. Because I'm here in the flesh and everyone's excited about it. Sure, sure. But also, okay. But I think that this Epstein vote was a seminal moment. So we'll talk about that as we go along. And there's so many fights now back and forth. Marjorie Taylor Green against Donald Trump. and Massey taking shots, et cetera. Lost in all this is Roe-Connor leading the effort for the Democrats,

but alone. That was so weird. That was, yeah, we'll talk about all that. Okay, so we've got a million things to tell you about, so let's do it. You know, I, it's so good to be home. Like, it feels so good. Yeah, home sweet home, you crazy? It's like when you've been out of town for school,

which I never experienced because my parents made me go to a school right by where I grew up. And then you come home for the holidays. home for the holidays. It just feels like warm and fuzzy inside. Oh, don't I know it's sister. Okay, I mean, that was the best coming home for Thanksgiving. Definitely. All right. Well, let's let's get to this. And today with this vote, we are finally putting these victims and these survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and the cabal of rich, powerful elites that expands not just here in the United States of America, but to other countries as well. We're putting them last. Preach it, sister. That was Republican congressman Marjorie Taylor Green delivering a speech on the House floor today as the House voted overwhelmingly in favor of the release of the Epstein files.

Now the bill later made its way to the Senate. I'll give you the update on what the Senate decided in just a moment. But, Jake, you're two cents? Look, I think the fact that they buckled is enormous. Yes. And once we tell you about this seminal event to begin with, then I want to talk about, wait, can we do this again and again and again where we put pressure on corrupt politicians to do what we want instead of what their donors want? That would make this moment and this day way more historic. So let's talk about it. Definitely. What would also make my life historic is if I also get a special graphic, but instead of two cents, it says Anna, the whole enchilada. Just think about it. Okay, we're gonna think about it. Just think about it.

All right, so here are the details. Here is what happened in the House as they voted on this bill today. The House did vote overwhelmingly to pass what is now known as the Epstein Files Transparency Act. 427 House lawmakers, including 216 Republicans voted in favor of this legislation. Clay Higgins was the sole Republican who voted no. And he did explain himself in a statement posted on Xx. posted on X where he says that basically the way that this legislation is written is it's going to harm people who might have their names in these files but are actually innocent

and have not engaged in any wrongdoing. He says it abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America as written this bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people witnesses people who provided alibis family members etc if enacted in its current form this type of broad reveal of criminal investigative files related to a rabid media will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt. But those files would make clear what the alibis of these individuals were, right? I mean. Yeah, it's always been nonsense. Total junk. So like it made me think Clay Higgins, like the secretly the best paid congressman from Israel, Because there's no reason, this is nonsense.

All the victims are obviously protected and redacted. And you're worried about the predators that, look, we all get it, man. Bill Clinton and Bill Gates and all those guys and Republicans and right winger's might have been in his phone book, but not done anything illegal. We're not the R word, we get it, right? I gotta be honest with you. Listen, I haven't been completely blackpilled on our institutions. And what I mean by that is, I think our institutions have all

overall failed us, especially as they currently exist today. But I still believe in the existence of these institutions. I just think they need to be gutted and reformed, okay, top to bottom. With that in mind, with the way our judicial system works, how our criminal justice system works, and the fact that there hasn't been justice for the survivors, over 1,000 of them is infuriating beyond belief. And so when you can't rely on your institutions in a democratic system, to actually do what's right and serve the best interests of the American people. This is the next best thing, right?

I mean, this is the only thing that you can demand or ask for. To actually have the raw data, the raw files, the actual information and evidence that was used in the case against Jeffrey Epstein. When you can't rely on your own government to do its job, that's when the people rise up and demand that they have access to this information. That's exactly what happened here. I want to clarify one thing. You guys worried about the innocent people who might be implicated through the release of these files? Well, you, our justice system did everyone dirty, everyone dirty, okay? This is a result of their failure.

I just want to be very clear about that. Go ahead. Yeah, so he's not worried about the victims. The victims are definitely redacted, and a lot of them have now come out publicly. He's worried about people who are named on the list who might not have actually done it. That means kidding aside, half kidding aside, he almost certainly knows someone on that list. Or it's either a donor or a friend, et cetera. There's no reason on God's given earth to be the only vote against this because you're so

hung up on protecting someone who was a friend and ally of Epstein, but maybe didn't do it and maybe did, right? No, it's super clear. So look, I think we've already spent way too much time on Higgins' ridiculous excuse for why he voted against transparency in the Epstein files. But let's talk a little bit about the Senate, because there was initially reporting that the Senate was going to hold a vote on the same legislation tomorrow. In fact, Senate Majority Leader John Thune made that clear. However, they've already held their vote. And the Senate has passed the bill through unanimous consent.

But the real question here, everyone, is whether or not President Trump is A, going to sign the legislation. Now, just recently, he kind of did a 180. He started urging the House to vote on the legislation, to pass the legislation. But Trump be plotting, and I'm going to give you a little insight into what his plot is. Now, first, there were some red flags, okay? Let's start with red flag number one, which is what Trump said to a. reporter aboard Air Force One. This was on November 14th, last Friday. He called a Bloomberg reporter who asked about the possible release of the Epstein

Files Piggy, as if he is blind and unable to ever look in the mirror and see the the grotesque image reflected, but nonetheless, he then doubled down on that. You might say, well look, that was last Friday, he's since changed his tune on the Epstein files, maybe he's had to come to Jesus moment. No, that's not what Trump does. He doesn't have those kinds of moments. So Von Hilliard, who is the senior White House correspondent for MSNBC, basically reported today that Trump actually doubled down saying, quote, this reporter behaved in an inappropriate and unprofessional way towards her colleagues on the plane, if you're going to give it, you have to be able to take it.

I'm sorry, what exactly did this Bloomberg reporter do that was so terrible and disrespectful to her colleagues? She asked a question that you didn't want to answer. So you decided to attack her and call her piggy instead? Like, who does that? Like what are you 12? Trump? Yeah, that's what Trump does. Yeah. This episode is brought to you by prize picks.

Ford was built on the belief that the world doesn't get to decide what you're capable of. You do. So ask yourself, can you or can't you?

Curbs in a Mustang, can you take a Bronco to where the map ends and adventure begins? Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right. Ready, set, Ford. celebrities like Rosie O'Donnell, et cetera. They thought it was hilarious and he's trolling and he's making fun of people, et cetera. But now that he's attacked his own side so many times, you know, only weak and foolish Republicans would want the Epstein files over and over again. Now everybody's beginning to see, including his own voters. Yeah, wait a minute, she's asked you a legitimate question about a thing we care about. And now you're calling her piggy.

Like that's obviously over the top and it's not funny. First of all, it was never funny for a lot of us, but for even the folks who thought it was funny in the beginning, even they're not amused anymore. And then, well, lastly, guys, I know we gotten used to Trump and being such a jerk, honestly, easy way of putting it. But that's not cool. Like, forget, like, oh, cancel, forget everything, forget cultural wars. It's just not cool. Like, to look at someone and go, ha, ha, I'm going to make fun of your looks when you're a journalist asking me a question. No, that's gross, man.

And any decent person should realize that's gross. So I just, this is a little bit of a tangent, but it's very much related to why I believe people like Trump, powerful people, and it's not just Trump. Previous presidents have engaged in what I believe is a cover up as well, Democrats, Republicans, it doesn't matter. Trump is just less sophisticated and unable to kind of finesse the situation as previous presidents had. had. He's just, he's a blunt object or he just doesn't know how to handle it and calls people names and it makes it obvious he's engaged in a cover-up. Dropside news, this just dropped.

So Jeffrey Epstein pursued Swiss Rothschild Bank to finance Israeli cyber weapons empire. Epstein on Ariane Ariane de Rothschild. Quote, it was said to me if Ehud Barak wants to make serious money, he will have to build a relationship with me, take time so that we can truly understand one another. This is reported by Ryan Grimm and Maz Hussein for Dropsite News, yet another connection between Epstein and the Israeli government. As we've been telling you over the last 10 days or so, since Dropside News first broke a series of four stories, there's now no question that Jeffrey Epstein was working with Israel, not necessarily for Israel, but with Israel, with Ahud Barak and an Israeli spy at the time

who stayed at his house on multiple occasions for long stretches of a time. And they were plotting to try to get America to bomb Syria and to bomb Iran. So he's not working for American interests, and he is actively working for Israeli interests. That's in Ahud Barak's emails, it's indisputable. Yet literally no one from American media is talking in mainstream media, He's talking about the obvious and overwhelming connections to Israel. And I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why our corporate media, our legacy media refuses to cover this part of the story, which I would venture to say is just as important, if not more important than the way they frame this whole situation.

The way the mainstream media, it's interesting, they always frame the Epstein files as a partisan battle. It's a partisan battle, so we're constantly fighting each other. Now keep in mind, the Epstein files have already complicated, powerful people on the left and the right. Okay, Larry Summers, essentially getting advice from Epstein on how to handle the young woman from Harvard that he was having an affair with. He, unquote, how to get horizontal with the person he was mentoring, okay? Okay, disgusting, especially because in those emails, Summers made very clear that it's obvious that she's not really into him, but wants to, have this connection with him because he's powerful and knows that she can basically,

you know, further her future by having this relationship with him. And him and Epstein talk about, make sure you don't give her any of those contacts and help until she has sex with you. So, okay, so that's the Democrats. We showed you Stacey Plaskett. The other day taking a text from Epstein asking the questions. Epstein has directed her to ask. So yes, there's Democrats who are terribly guilty. Yes, there are. Potentially Republicans who are terribly guilty. And so the press keeps going down. Remember, if you release it, you're both gonna get hurt.

Like, who are you working for? What is this absurdity? And it's even worse than that. The way they cover this story, I feel, intentionally pits American voters against one another. Rather than focusing on how this is basically a conspiracy involving the most powerful people, not just in this country, but in the world.

Okay, I got it. Victimizing our children, victimizing minors, like that's what this story is about. So like to me, I'm sorry, if you are still very much operating with the mindset of everything is partisan, that's all we care about, we have to protect our tribe. I'm sorry, I'm sure the way we cover this story upsets you. I don't care about partisanship right now at all, at all, at all. I see a much bigger threat to this country, our democracy, our freedom, our sovereignty, then, oh, is it the Democrats who are worse or the Republicans who are worse?

worse. There's garbage on both sides. We need to get them out. Okay, two quick things about that. So in the stories that drop site news broke, Epstein arranges a meeting with Vladimir Putin and Ehud Barak. Ehud Barak, the former Prime Minister of Israel, could not arrange that meeting on his own. He needed Epstein to arrange it. On that fact alone, that shows you that Epstein was one of the most powerful people on earth. That's not a relevant story. It's crazy. Not a single mainstream media outlet. has covered that? No, that's why what Tom Massey, Marjorie Taylor Green and Rokana did in pushing

this forward was absolutely heroic. If there's ever any truth or justice in our history books, they will mark those three as absolute American heroes for defying all of Washington, all of their colleagues and all of the media. Because all of them, and why are all of his colleagues and all their colleagues and the media, why were they all covering up for a pedophile? How does that make any sense at all? One of the worst criminals in American history, why are they all covering for them? Come on guys, we all know the answer. We already know it, the stories have already been broken.

It's because Epstein was working with Israel, and Washington, D.C. is 100% occupied by Israel, but the American people broke their luck today. Yes. It was amazing. You put so much pressure on them that all those people were constantly playing shell games, to Anna's point. point, oh, we're not in charge, okay, we want the files. Oh, we're in charge, we don't want the files, right? And all of a sudden, you guys put a stop to that. I know. And by the way, tremendous credit to the Trump voters who put pressure on their own representatives and broke them.

Great job. And before we get to how Trump is going to handle this moving forward, because that's the most important part of the story to focus on moving forward. I do want you to hear from Annie Farmer, because this morning, prior to the Householding, it's voting. on this legislation. The survivors, along with representatives Rokana, Marjorie Taylor Green, and Thomas Massey held a press conference. And what you're about to hear from Annie Farmer is exactly right. This is not about partisanship, especially when you consider how this has been an issue

throughout several administrations. In 1996, when my sister Maria bravely blew the whistle on this group by reporting to the FBI what Epstein and Maxwell did to both of us, they have. hung up on the phone on her and there was no follow-up of any kind. Bill Clinton was president. In 2006, the FBI came to us, finally interviewed us, and asked us both to be witnesses against Epstein. We were very anxious, but we agreed. And then we didn't hear back from them due to their infamous sweetheart deal.

George W. Bush was president. In 2015, when the DOJ was sent FOIA request for Maria's FBI files, and they were denied, as they have been many times, Barack Obama was president. In 2019, when Epstein died in prison due to either negligence or foul play, Donald Trump was president. In 2023, Maria's attorneys sent a letter on her behalf to the government, requesting an investigation into the repeated law enforcement failures in this case, similar to what was done in the case of Larry Nassar.

They declined to do so. Consequently, my sister filed notice that she would be suing the government. for failing to uphold its legal, ethical, and moral duties in this case. Joe Biden was president. I thought that that part of her speech was so powerful because it really does show you that again, this issue stretched across, the cover-up stretched across several administrations, both Democrat and Republican. And so again, I just urge anyone watching this who's still operating based on partisan politics

to reconsider whether it makes sense to just take it face value the framing that we've been getting from corporate and legacy media on this issue. For this issue alone, if that's all it takes, try to put that aside and think about how this is much bigger than partisan bickering. Yeah, so a lot of people on the Democratic side are now making the case. Well, look, there was an open case, Galane Maxwell, when Biden was president. That's why Biden couldn't release the files. If there's an open case, you can't release the files. That is technically. But let me ask all those people, where are all the prosecutions? If Obama, Biden, and all the Democrats were just angels, but I golly, gee, there's just this one open case, so there's nothing they could do.

Well, what was stopping them from prosecuting all the other predators? They didn't prosecute a single one, they didn't open a single case. They didn't do a single thing to hold anyone accountable for those crimes. So please spare me this total and utter BS about how the Democrats, would have done the right thing. Where's the prosecutions? No, they had every opportunity to do the right thing. They never took it because this is not about Epstein.

This is not about Democrats or Republicans. This is about a government actor that they are not telling you about. And if you say to me, hey, Jake, it's not Mossad, it's the CIA, and maybe they work together, sure. But it isn't no one. It isn't Epstein and Maxwell by themselves and magically protected by both parties, nonstop. And the last thing, when it comes to Republicans,

Alex Acosta is the one who gave him the sweetheart deal. He's a US attorney down in Miami. He pops up later, eight years later, as the labor secretary for Trump. Labor secretary, when he was just a US attorney, that is so random. But you gotta reward the guy who gave the sweetheart deal to the worst pedophile in American history. Who's rewarding him? Who is making these decisions and then actively hiding it from everyone? else, that's the most important question. And by the way, the question that mainstream media

not only will not ask when they're supposed to be journalists and reporters, but actively hides by saying, if you ask that question, you're an anti-Semite, right? And your life should be, your career and life should be canceled for daring to ask the most obvious question there is. That's right. That's right. All right, so here's what the next chapter in the cover-up is going to look like. And you can base it on some of the latest reporting from friend of the show Ken Clippenstein over at Substack. The title of his piece, and I urge you all to read it because it's fantastic. national security blocks Epstein files release.

In it, Clippenstein writes that the bill says that if the attorney general makes a determination that covered information may not be declassified and made available in a manner that protects the national security of the United States, including methods or sources related to national security, the attorney general, that's Pam Bondi, shall release an unclassified summary for each of the redacted or withheld classified information, as in the attorney general would get to decide what to release and how to characterize it. So asked by an independent journalist, Michael Tracy, this is what Ken Klippenstein wrote, about a similar carve out for national defense information in earlier legislation back in

September, Massey's reply was basically that he had no choice, right? So similar provisions were written in previous legislation that Massey had commented on. Here's what he said. You have to put that in there if you're going to get them to sign it. It's not something I would sit and say, let's put it in there. It's something that when you run the bill past other colleagues and say, can you sign this? In fact, can you get every Democrat to sign it? It's one of those things or one of the things that was felt was necessary to put in there.

And in addition to that, Axios reported just today that Trump's recent directive to the Department of Justice to the Department of Justice to investigate Epstein's ties to former President Bill Clinton, officials at J.P. Morgan Chase, and others may cause the files to never see the light of day. Okay, now. Because they'll be part of a prosecution and investigation. Now that takes away all excuses for mainstream media. Why is this a national defense case? I thought it was just two random people that happened to be incredibly powerful somehow and got all the most powerful politicians and wealthy people in the world to go and get these favors and get taped and do all this incredibly sophisticated operation all on their own. So if that's the case, obviously it has nothing to do with national defense.

Can I give you a little more detail? Because this was also just published today, I forget the publication that published this. So Alyssa, if you don't mind, can you just text me and let me know? So the title is House demands Epstein financial records from JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, and U.S. Virgin Islands. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform issued a series of subpoenas Tuesday, meaning today, for some of Epstein's financial records. Representative James Comer, chairman of the committee, issued subpoenas to J.P. Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, and requested additional documents from U.S. Virgin Islands attorney,

General Gordon Rhea, J.P. Morgan Chase began an internal investigation into accounts previously held by Epstein, flagging some 4,700 transactions as suspicious in the process. So my point here is, now the Epstein files are going to be part of an investigation into these banks, which, of course, that investigation will go nowhere. But as the investigation plays out, our federal government, the executive branch in particular, can basically tell us, Buzz off, we can't release this information because it will, you know, mess with our investigation. Yeah, okay. So what's interesting to is there's no investigation of this guy for what, decades, right? And the minute that we are about to get the files, we're like, oh, no, we're doing

the investigation. Now all of a sudden we're doing an investigation. Oh, golly, gee, does that mean we can't give you the files? Oh, shut up already. And I'll tell you, though, I don't think any of that is going to work. It's not going to work with the electorate, that's for sure. Yeah, that's right. Just the news published that, by the way. Sorry. Yeah.

So if they think they're going to be cute and they're going to be like, oh, yeah, we voted to release it. But golly, gee, we just started this investigation of Bill Clinton and Larry Summers a minute ago. So I guess we're going to have to bury it for two more decades, right? No, the answer is going to be a hard no, a screaming no from the American people. So the next person that tries to block these records is in, is going to be in for a whirlwind. Do you guys understand the trick that members of Congress just played on, or thought that they played on all of us? Because the subpoenas were announced just after the House and Senate voted overwhelmingly to force the Justice Department to release more information about the case it built against Epstein.

So basically, this allows for all the various members of Congress, both in the House and Senate, who were. part of this cover up who did not want to vote in favor of releasing the Epstein files. This allows them to look good by voting in favor of transparency, knowing full well, the House Oversight Committee is going to launch an investigation by through the direction of Donald Trump into these banks that had ties to Epstein in order to prevent the release of the Epstein file. Well, what have you been waiting for for investigation of the banks? Can I, you just occurred to you?

So dirty. Okay, guys, look, they think we're stupid and they're used to. to it because they're used to feeding this crap to mainstream media who then regurgitates it to you and and you never had any other options for so long. So you literally didn't know all this information that we know now, right? Now it's all in the public and they think, we're gonna trick them. Now we're gonna start a new investigation and we're not gonna release it again and no one's gonna notice. No brother, everyone's gonna notice. And the next time you block it, we're going to be in a fury over it. Okay, so guys, one more thing about

the bipartisan nature of this obvious cover-up, okay? So the Democrats, hey, way to go. They mainly voted with, you know, all of them voted to release the files. That's great. And we got the last Democrat, Grohava, to break the tie or get us past the vote we needed. Okay, so then the Republicans surrendered. Now, first of all, to the Republicans say, oh, no, no, we were going to vote, yes, the whole time. And we were just waiting, come on, no one believes that.

You were gonna block it and then you failed because your own voters caught you. And so don't give me that crap about how you're gonna release it. No, the American people made you release the files. Now go to the Democrats, okay, but they all voted yes, right? Why was Rokana the only leader among the Democrats who was insisting on this? If this is such a hurtful issue to Trump or anyone else, and golly, gee, they're just so geared up to release these files because they've been on it from day one, right? Why wasn't there a squadron of Democrats?

Where's Hakeem Jeffries? Where's anybody in their leadership? Why did every other Democrat avoided like the plague and Rokana had to force them to go, hey, you know what? Trump is in the files, maybe you should vote this way. But even then they're not at the press conference. They're let, even though the only two Republicans for so long on the right side of this were Massey and Marjorie Taylor Green later joined by.

by Mace and Lauren Boebert, right? In the press conference, the Republicans actually outnumbered the Democrats, because there was two Republicans and only one Democrat. When all the Democrats are voting yes, why? Because come on, man, it's so obvious both parties are covering it up. And I guarantee you if the Democrats were in charge, they would be the ones voting no. And so again, Maga, nice job the voters. Look at how you force them to do it.

And the last thing is the hope for the future. There's only one other time in my lifetime that I know that this got done from the outside. And that was when John Stewart put so much pressure on them on the 9-11 responders health care bill that they were all going to, in the middle of the night, they were going to be like, screw the fresh responders. We're not going to give them any stupid health care. Who cares about 9-11? And then he shined. There's huge spotlight. And they're like, oh, oh, I mean, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.

God damn it. I was going to give that to my tax cuts to my rich donors. But okay, fine, here's a nickel and a dime to the first. This is the second time that it's ever happened. Yeah. And this was not led by ain't like sure, there are people in the media who wanted it. We did, a lot of right wingers did, et cetera. But it was mainly led by the voters.

It's always through the grassroots. And the voters roared from both sides and said, no, no, no, we've had enough of this crap. And you're gonna release those goddamn files. Stay on them. Yes. Stay on them. Because they're gonna try eight different tricks. And we already know the answer.

And the, why are they hiding it? this assiduously. Come on, guys, if the American people find out that Israel did it, there's going to be a rage. And so they don't want it because they all want to help Israel and protect Israel. All of mainstream media and almost all of Congress and both parties, super obvious. They don't even try to hide it. Anyway, when we come back, we'll talk about the revisionist history that took place at the White

House today as the butcher in Saudi Arabia visited. Donald Trump. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. I'll tell you two things, guys. So number one, a member shout out, Hannah Hartman. This is super fun. Organized a TYT watch party with the, oh, I'm going to butcher this, Tuscaravis. You nailed it.

No, that was great. Guys, you guys are enjoying that at the watch party. County, young Democrats in Tuscaravis County, Ohio. She's home to make this a monthly event.

I mean, honestly, the more you think about American history, a lot of revisionism happens in the White House. With that in mind, let's get to this. Your loyal highness, the US intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder

of a journalist. 9-11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office. Why don't Americans trust you- You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial? A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happened, but he knew nothing about it. And we can leave it at that. You don't have to embarrass our guests by asking a question like that. Today, President Donald Trump welcome Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman to the White House.

And in a truly extraordinary claim, made it appear as though MBS knew nothing about Jamal Khashoggi, a United States resident and Washington Bush journalist who was killed as a result of MBS ordering it to happen. Now before we get to the details, including what our intelligence community has to say about it or did say about it, your two cents, Jake? I prefer leaders who don't chop people up. So I just want to see in this story, are there Trump voters who say no, we love Saudi Muslim fundamentalists who dismember people as long as they're helping the Trump family get rich? I'm just curious, or there's special allies, let's find out.

So Trump rolled out the red carpet for Muhammad bin Salman. There's no question about it. There was a greeting from the US Marine Band. They had a formal dinner, very, very nice. Now during their meeting in the Oval Office, a reporter from ABC pressed Trump and MBS, Mohammed bin Salman, on the 2018 murder of Jamal Khashoggi, which took place inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. Now a team of 15 Saudi agents flew to Istanbul on government aircraft in October of that year and killed the journalist inside the consulate.

After that, investigators concluded that Khashoggi was restrained after a struggle and injected with a large amount of a drug which resulted in a fatal overdose. Then they proceeded to dismember his body and hand the dismembered body parts over to a local collaborator for disposal. MBS called it a painful incident. Yeah, well, I guess that's true. Be painful to hear, you know, anyone that's losing his life for, you know, no real purpose or not an illegal way. And it's been painful for us in Saudi Arabia. We've did all the right steps of investigation, et cetera, in Saudi Arabia.

And we've improved our system to be sure that nothing happened. like that and it's painful and it's a huge mistake and we are doing our best that this doesn't happen again. And of course President Donald Trump, just as he did in his first term, provided cover for Muhammad bin Salman and claimed that he had no knowledge of the murder despite the fact that our own intelligence agencies, under Trump's watch, by the way, said otherwise. The US intelligence officials determined that the Saudi crown prince likely approved the killing by Saudi agents of Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, according to

U.S. findings that were declassified in 2021 at the start of the Biden administration. Trump officials during his first administration refused to release the report. Now, by the way, Biden had campaigned on the promise of essentially bringing MBS to justice for what had happened, but did not do anything at all. To be fair, I don't know if you remember that he made that promise. Now the office of the director of national intelligence report also said the following. We based this assessment on the crown prince's control of decision making in the kingdom, the direct involvement of a key advisor and members of Mohammed bin Salman's protective detail in the operation,

and the crown prince's support for using violent measures to silence dissidents abroad, including Khashoggi. The CIA made the same assessment and went so far as to say that MBS personally ordered the killing of Jamal Khashoggi. Officials at the time said that, said that the conclusion was partially based on a recording, a recording provided by the Turkish government along with other American intelligence. The CIA also examined a call placed from inside the consulate after the killing by an alleged member of the Saudi hit team, Maher Mutreb, a security official, who, who has often been seen at the crown prince's side

and who was photographed entering and leaving the consulate on the day of the killing. But even at that time, Trump refused to acknowledge the findings. And in a recorded interview with Bob Woodward in 2020, Trump bragged about protecting MBS from scrutiny. He bragged about it. He bragged about lying to the American people about it, okay?

And then today hosted this butcher inside the White House, What, one week after he hosted a different butcher and Al-Qaeda terrorist inside the White House? Don't you feel so great? Aren't you tired of winning America? This is what he said back in 2020, according to Bob Woodward. I've gotten involved very much. I know everything about the whole situation. Asked what happened exactly Trump reasoned or responded.

I saved his ass, meaning MBS. That's what happened. Woodward asked, saved whose ass? Trump says MBS. They were coming down on him very strongly. But I was able to get Congress to leave him alone. I was able to get them to stop. You know, I'm very friendly with those guys, Congress.

I'm very friendly with Congress. And today Trump went so far as to praise MBS as a champion of human rights. I don't want to go to that video. We're running out of time. But why? Why would he want to protect MBS in the first place? I don't know. It might have something to do with all the business dealings that the Trump family has with Saudi Arabia in 24 alone.

Trump and his extended family collected an estimated $50 million, or $50 million deal, $50 million deals, I'm sorry, $50 million from deals connected to Saudi Arabia. And just last month, the Trump Organization also announced plans for a Trump plaza to be built in Saudi Arabia. And how could we forget Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, also received a $2 billion investment from the Saudi government for his, you know, his investment. fund or hedge fund. Yeah. Now, the reaction to this story by American politicians outside of Trump and American media is a rational one. So credit where credit is due, they're like, okay, you chopped up a journalist that worked for an American paper. We're all outraged. Good, you should be outraged. We're going to hold this foreign leader that's coming to visit the White House

accountable. Good, you should hold him accountable. We're going to hold Trump accountable. Good, You should, okay. Now, let me ask you a series of questions. If it was an Israeli leader, do you think that it would have been the same reaction? Or do you think they would have said in this case, you know, no, that's anti-Saudiist. Or if someone made the absurd, ludicrous claim that it's anti-Saudiast to accuse bin Salmona, this, everybody would laugh them out of the room, right? And they should. Or let's go with something that's real, Islamophobia. If they said, wait a minute, That's a good point, right? Like I obviously am sensitive to hatred of all forms, including Islamophobia.

I never for one second question anyone as being Islamophobic for criticizing the U.S. relationship and alliance with Saudi Arabia. Not for a second, no. And you shouldn't. That doesn't make any sense. The Saudis, although they claim to be a Muslim state, are just a foreign government, right? Run by dictators. So of course you should be allowed to question them, of course it's not Islamophobic. And then one more thing about it. Now, there is an awful stereotype about Muslims being barbaric and savage and a lot of Western press written all the way for hundreds of years.

All the Turks are coming, the Arabs are coming, they're savages. So trope. Now, do I think it's a trope? Of course not, right? No, it's just the thing that they actually did do it, right? Yep, but would Israel get a different standard? Would right now be, there would be hundreds of pundits screaming into their TV? Trope, trope, but yet no one mentioned trope in this case.

No one mentioned Islamophobia, no one mentioned anything, nor should they. So now, last thing, turn to Benjamin Netanyahu. He's come and visited the White House about a hundred times, right? Did anyone ask him? Not about one journalist killed, but 241 journalists killed. journalists killed just in the last couple of years by the IDF. That is a record number according to all organizations including committee to protect journalists. That is more than all the journalists killed in all other

conflicts in the world combined. It's 241 times worse than what Saudi Arabia did and Khashoggi while working for an American paper was not an American. And Shereen al-Buakli was an American and the Israelis did assassinate, assassinate her, and our government confirmed that it was IDF who assassinated her. Yet no one ever asked when Benjamin Netanyahu comes to the White House, hey, why did your government murder an American journalist? Well, they don't want to be anti-Semites, of course. And but that's the point, guys, because then if you ask a super legitimate question of a Saudi

leader, they go, oh, bravo. You ask a super legitimate question of an Israeli leader, they're like, you're an anti-Semite and your life should be ruined. By the way, I should note that after she asked her question, Trump had asked her, who are you with? Where are you from? She said ABC News. Fake, ABC News is fake news. ABC News is fake news. So she did get pushback from Trump because he doesn't like to be asked difficult questions, which is why he surrounded himself with friendly media outlets. I'll just put it that way, for the most part. Now, you see guys, we're leading by example. Is it that hard to be unbiased? No, you call out the Saudi government, you call out the Israeli government, you call out

both governments. Yep. And you don't hide behind, oh, Islamophobia, anti-semitism. They're foreign governments, and it's a job of journalists to ask questions and to call them out and to hold our leaders accountable for supporting disgusting leaders of other countries. There should not be an exception for any country in that regard. All right, when we come back from the break, we'll talk a little bit about the ongoing battle between congressman Marjorie Taylor Green, who was a long time ally of Trump's,

and President Donald Trump, who is very upset that she isn't going along with everything he wants her to go along with. We'll be right back. All right, back on TYT, Jen and Anna with you guys. And a little Mac too, you guys have been so wonderfully generous. So I'm gonna read this one super chat here, we appreciate you so much. He said, I am who I am, but I love the TYT supports who I am.

TYT.com slash switch, switch from Verizon and AT&T and T and break their monopoly. All right, Anna. Let's talk a little bit about the latest in this feud between Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green and President Donald Trump.

I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for five, no, actually six years for, for standing with these women and refusing to take my name off the discharge petition. Let me tell you what a traitor is. A traitor is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves. A patriot is an American that serves the United States of America and Americans like the women standing behind me. Look, Jank, I've asked you once, and I'm going to ask you again, is Marjorie Taylor Green mommy? That was amazing. I love that part of her speech, which I'll give you more information about it in a second. But you're two cents. So look, my two sense is that those three people that are Massey, Marjorie Taylor Grin and Roe Conner are American heroes.

and notice that there are only three of them at that press conference. Well, everyone but one person technically voted yes, but why did no one go to take credit? Isn't that weird for the most popular bill that I've seen maybe in my lifetime? And of course, that builds the transparency in the Epstein files, releasing the Epstein files, which overwhelmingly passed in both the House and the Senate today. But the Senate oversight, I'm sorry, the House Oversight Committee just launched an investigation into various banks that have ties to Jeffrey Epstein, which could prevent the release of the files because they're part of an ongoing investigation.

But nonetheless, the portion of Marjorie Taylor Green's speech that you just heard was from a longer speech that she gave this morning ahead of the House holding that vote. And in it, obviously, she touched on this ongoing feud that she's been having with President Donald Trump because Trump has been one of the biggest obstacles in the release of the release of the Epstein files in recent months. Now the congresswoman suggested this morning during this press conference that Epstein survivors, with with Epstein survivors that the real traitor here is the one who seems to be working on behalf of a foreign government.

And as we know, Trump has seemed to prioritize the Israeli government over the American people over and over again. So this came after a weekend of this back and forth between. Trump and Green, including some of Trump's pretty gross comments. So he claimed he had gone, he claimed that she had gone far left, which is hilarious. She has not gone far left. If anything, she ran on the idea of being America first. I do notice that she has softened her rhetoric, and I think she's doing that for a good reason,

because she's sick of being part of the gross, toxic, partisan divides in the country. She wants to kind of tone things down so Americans unite on causes that, you know, they want solutions for. She even apologized for her past rhetoric when she was on CNN and even got backlash about that for Megan Kelly, which was really, really upsetting because Megan Kelly apparently had a problem with her doing the apology on CNN. No, she's doing the right thing. And there have been multiple occasions in which I've been on different outlets. Some of them have been so called conservative or right leaning, and I have taken responsibility for stories that I have gotten wrong in the past.

That doesn't make me a bad person, that makes you a person of good moral character, if you ask me. But nonetheless, let's get to more of Trump's claim. So again, he said Marjorie Trader Green is a disgrace to our great Republican Party, which is why today she defended herself from those accusations and insinuated that Trump had abandoned Epstein's, you know, the Epstein survivors essentially and the America First agenda overall. She also said that this fight over the Epstein files was absolutely ripping Maga apart. Take a look. This has been one of the most destructive things to Maga is watching the man that we supported

early on three elections for people that stood hours, slept in, up in their cars to go to rallies, have fought for truth and transparency and to hold what we consider a corrupt government accountable. Watching this actually turn into a fight has ripped MAGA apart. And the only thing that will speak to the powerful, courageous women behind me is when action is actually taken to release these files and the American people won't tolerate any other bull that's where we are today. I love that and I think she's right about how Americans won't tolerate any more of this BS because there really has been this overwhelming grassroots and it's not even organized, which

is amazing about it, right? Grassroots effort to pressure members of Congress and the federal government overall to release the Epstein files. This isn't happening because members of Congress decided to do it out of the kindness of their own hearts. But unfortunately, what I think is going to happen is there's going to be other efforts in trying to engage in this cover-up, namely through this phony investigation into banks that had alleged ties to Epstein in order to say that the files are part of an active investigation. So we'll see how that all plays out. But I think the backlash from the public will be extreme to that type of plot. Yeah, they're messing with the wrong public. Okay, so the American public has basically awoken.

And now we're watching. We're watching everything that's happening. We don't need mainstream media anymore. Now we, I hope that you all realize by now, they're not in the news business, they're in the covering up the news business. And so like they told us that we should hate all these people. that we should hate Marjorie Taylor Green and we should hate Tom Massey. Well, I don't hate them. So I might disagree with a huge percentage of their votes, but give me someone honest as a legislator over someone dishonest pretending to be on my side. Yes.

Every time, okay, because the Democrats, they pretend to be on our side in terms of policy. Do they ever pass those policies? Nope, never. Oh, golly, gee, there was nothing we could do. There was nothing we could do. No, you're not on our side, you're on the donor's side. And whose side is the mainstream media on? On this donor side, they're all cover, oh no, those politicians are honest. My ass, they're honest.

So I saw who the honest politicians were right here. So everyone in Washington wanted to cover up to Epstein files. Everyone in the country wanted the Epstein files released. It was donors versus voters extraordinaire. WrestleMania won, okay? And who were the only three legislators who stepped up and insisted on it, and fought for it and as they were fighting for it, everyone said, oh, you're not going to get that. Oh, look at these fringe guys, Rokana, Tom Massey, Marjorie Taylor Green. You should hate them

and you should hate each other. But we're not going to give you the files. Well, they broke you. And we broke you. I mean, Massey and Green in particular are risking their careers to do this. I mean, they're now facing primary challengers, or we don't know exactly who will be challenging Marjorie Taylor Green, but we know that there's already a Miriam Edelson funded effort to oust Thomas Massey from his seat in Congress. They already spent two million dollars and then races a year from now. Two million dollars in a random rural district in Kentucky by pro-Israel donors. Gee, I wonder why.

But no, they don't control anything. If you listen to mainstream media, no, you should ignore all of the evidence and the facts, because that's what reporters do. Do they fund 90% of Congress? Yes, they do. Do they vote with them every time? Yes, they do. That's the main thing mainstream media doesn't want you to find out. I don't know why, but I guess they think that they work for Israel. Green was also asked if she takes President Donald Trump at his word when he says that should Congress pass the release of the Epstein files through legislation, which both the House and the Senate did today, he would sign the legislation into law.

She says this, and I think this is a good headspace for all of us to be in when it comes to our representatives, members of Congress, and our president. I only take people's actions seriously, no longer words. Yeah, I mean, that's it, period. I'm not interested. And my God, does that apply to Democrats? A lot of bu, ba, ba, ba, blah, never delivers. And then the Republicans, oh, we're going to release.

to Epstein files, the Democrats are covering up today. I said, oh, we're in charge? Cover them up, cover them up, don't let him know. Oh, God damn it, Massey and Marjorie Taylor Green caught us. They're anti-Semites. Yeah. You should cancel them. You know what?

Once Rokana, if you don't know this, it's important for you to know it, because this is how the thuggery works behind the scenes, and the media are the top thugs. So not only again, do they not tell you, they actually ate and abet the thugs, because once Rokana said released to Epstein files, all of a sudden charges of anti-Semitism. him arose. But wait, I thought Epstein didn't have anything to do with Israel.

But all of a sudden the guy says, let's release the Epstein files. And here comes mainstream media and everyone else to smear them. Huh, what a coincidence. Yeah. But we found three heroes out of 535 members of Congress. And apparently they were enough. So next time, learn that lesson. You don't need that many people inside Congress. You need a lot of people outside. of Congress all pushing together. And when they try to divide you and go, you're not allowed to agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene, you're not allowed to have her on your show. You have to cancel her.

No, my ass I have to cancel her. I don't have to do a goddamn thing. She represents the American people. I love it. Let's go get some, okay? Yep. Yeah, so media can suck it. All right.

So let's take our break. When we come back for the second hour of the show, Ben Shapiro, And Shapiro weighs in on the possible release of the Epstein files. He seems to be against it, or well, he has been kind of against it. But more importantly, he wants to pour cold water on something that we wholeheartedly believe here at TYT, that Epstein had ties to the government of Israel. Let me guess, anti-Semitic.
