what's up everybody welcome back happy skews day to you it's uh july 15th
2025 as you're watching this we're recording this monday july 14th at 1.30-ish p.m. on the left
coast that's where we're at in the universe and time and space i'm trey and that's mark and this
excuse how you doing mark
good man just reading about how
the doD has signed a contract with
grok to do some
like the little week after the fucking stupid
chat bot called itself mecha hitler
with all in on starting
the second holocaust and became obsessed
with raping one guy
did you see this story? Yeah yeah
yeah uh what's his dad
uh yeah
Will Stansell yeah
he ran for state house in Minnesota
like a like an internet punitive
but like it's just like
oh god
I don't know what anybody's doing anymore.
But also, didn't that, what's that mean about the, you know,
because it's also not very long after Trump went on his little diet,
you know, Trump and Elon had the little bitch fest.
And part of which was Trump saying, well, you know what?
Maybe we'll just take all these contracts.
And Elon being like, fucking take them.
I don't give a, see if I give a fuck, you know, or whatever.
Like, that just happened.
Yeah, yeah.
And Elon, like, we're talking about the fallout from the Epstein shit
because it's fucking hilarious.
And it's like, we ain't in it.
They never fight.
We can just talk about it.
Like, so, like, Elon's all in on calling Trump, like, the head of the pedophical bottom.
And, like, they're just giving him more con.
And I can't make any sense of it.
Right.
So, before we get to the show, I want to talk about some goings-on in New York City,
or New York City residents at least.
So Eric Adams, apparently, who's running as an independent to get re-elected because he was so improperly.
You didn't bother running in the Democratic primary.
And someone apparently told him that Zora Mondami was good at the Internet,
that he should try being on the Internet.
So he made one of those IG like morning routine videos.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Of course I do.
I'm sure you've seen the big huge Jack Black guy who went viral for having the most egregious morning routine video of all time.
Well, it's not the second most egregious.
Okay.
So Matt's called up this first freeze frame that we got where it says 8.57 a.m.
where he's getting ready.
And the clock on the wall, if you can't read it, it's probably too small.
And our viewer says five minutes to 11.
that's hilarious man and then because he's doing a fake routine where he's like pretending to brush his teeth and shit and like whatever so they're just chopping it up so the next screen grab says 9 a.m. but the clock on the wall says 11 so he's done he's taking him five minutes to do 10 seconds worth of work to pretend it's three minutes later yeah two hours later in the actual day also right because he
doesn't live in the place he's pretending to be in it's like he just woke up he
fucking woke up with the place he actually lived and went to the apartment he pretends to live
in in the city it's like that whole fucking thing like I'm gonna miss him when he's
gone dude just gonna miss him so much so it's obviously I like I'm sure he does get up
early in the morning and does whatever but it's like this just makes it obvious that
they like had the idea to capitalize on a you know social media trend or they're like
you know if you see those morning routine videos we should and then you know clearly
they just attempted to fake the whole thing but completely
incompetently in a way that would like, you know, fit in on an episode of the office or
something, the fucking clock in the background right under the caption of the time is
almost too much.
So it, hanging over all this, all right, is like the billionaires in New York have decided
they're going to try to, like, buy this election, right?
And the head billionaire who's like so mad about Mondami's nomination is Bill Ackman,
who I'm not familiar with this whole thing.
He's a billionaire hedge fund guy who was a longtime Democratic donor until he got, like,
radicalized in being a Trump guy by the campus protest.
after October 7th.
Like I said, they're trying to throw out,
they want to buy the mayoral election for
either Adams or Cuomo,
but they haven't decided which one they want to light their money on fire for yet.
So over the weekend,
Bill Ackman got involved in a pretty funny fucking,
like a sports scandal where he,
so he played this minor doubles tournament.
Well, I say minor, like my understanding of tennis,
I don't really watch tennis,
but there's like three basic levels, right,
of professional tennis.
You got the major tour.
You got one beneath it.
Then you got the one Bill Ackman played in at a tournament at the Tennis Hall of Fame over the weekend, okay.
He played in this.
It was called the Hall of Fame Open.
He played doubles with a guy named Jack Sock, who is 32 years old and retired and now plays professional in pickle, pickleball.
All right.
Bill Ackman's 59 years old.
What it looks like he happened, because Sock was a former pro, he was eligible to get a wild card entry.
So Ackman seems like he paid him to be his partner so he could plan to fulfill his childhood dream of playing professional tennis for like one day.
oh so this isn't this it's not a pro-am thing it's like an actual uh yeah it's like double a baseball
yeah yeah okay this it's a lower tier of men's tour it's focus the whole point this this this
this like tour is to give younger people or aspiring players an opportunity to progress their
careers in her 59 year old bill actman bought himself a spot in it it's like a make-a-wish
program except there's nothing wrong with him he's just a fucking moron yeah super rich moron though
right and they get to make wishes all the time yeah and erotic was asked about oh we talked about on his
podcast of the former world number one uh former champ he said quote you don't give a wild card to someone
who 50 players on my club are better than is it really central watching this so the american tennis
the ATP uh was contacted by cnn sports they pointed to the rule in wild cards and here is their
response there's i was like hey what's up with bill acman on this and they came back spontaneously with
players may not receive compensation
and players may not offer compensation
in exchange for rewarding of a wild card.
They weren't asked about compensation.
They just said that.
Also involved in this,
the people they were playing were clearly taking it easy on ACMA.
They won in straight sets,
but only about a couple of points.
Everyone involved knew they were babying him,
so obviously he paid off his opponents too.
And Ackman went on Twitter
because it's a fucking social media addict
and said that the fact they took it easy on him
actually made it harder on him
because it, quote, it made it more difficult as he had too much time to think.
Trane, he literally said because they had the ball slower at him, it made it confusing for it.
Right. Yeah.
Yeah, these people, dude, they just can't admit any kind of, like, weakness or whatever, however you want to put.
Like, their egos are just so out of control, you know.
It's like, yeah, I know everyone's, I acknowledge everyone can tell they're taking it easy on me,
but what you don't understand is that actually makes it much more impressive the way I perform
because it's far more difficult that way.
Yeah.
For reasons you wouldn't understand.
Yeah.
I'm such a high-level athlete who's a 59-year-old who's never played professional tennis
that these people take it easy on me, just threw me off my game, right?
Anyway, after all this criticism all weekend, being accused of bribery, he made a $10 million
donation to the Tennis Hall of Fame.
So, after being accused of bribing his way into getting to play professional tennis
for one afternoon, he tried to bribe his way out of people being mad at him for it.
Well, I mean, that's, you know, that's what it's about, you know, when you're a hammer,
everything looks like a nail or whatever.
That's how he's the only way he knows how to approach things.
It's just throwing money at it.
It usually works.
Yeah, Bill Hattman, I just want to say,
I will stop making fun of you for $10 million as well.
Yeah.
Yeah, all right.

still talking about as light of the country is the uh the the going zone surrounding the epstein
files and uh the backlash to the handling thereof from trump and his DOJ uh and trump you know
who seems pretty upset about everyone's refusal to just you know think about things that really
matter and let this guy die and move on
for once. He would prefer
that. And so that's not what we're going to
do. We're going to talk about it a little bit later. But first,
the Daily Dumbass. Matt,
graphic, please.
Knights of D.D. Joe Biden's
FEMA for turning the residents of
Mao. The situation in Lahaina
was so bad that one
and six survivors were forced to trade
sexual favors, other favors
for just basic supplies.
at the second one after
So
For the first watch
I was like
At least she's being gender inclusive
But then in the second watch
She's just referring to women
But like so like
The layers of fucking insanity
She's addressing FEMA staff here Trey
This is an internal fucking meeting
Like Zoom meeting
Right
So that's what I was about to ask
Because she's
She's saying on that as a criticism of FEMA
Right?
The way FEMA handled it
And Joe Biden
What is her position?
Because obviously
We're in the Texas floods
And everything
It took the current
The Trump iteration of FEMA and the current director, like, a week to show up or whatever.
He was like AWOL.
So, like, what is her position on fame, you know?
That's what she's doing there is being like, well, at least we aren't as bad as Joe Biden because nobody in Central Texas is given blowjobs for bottle of water.
All right.
So, like, but like, okay, so these people's, like, picture of humanity is so fucking bleak.
Forget the idea that women would have to do that.
Imagine being the guy with the bottle water who's demanding a hand job in exchange.
for it? Right.
Do you have, like, what is, who do they imagine?
Like, fuck. So, what she's doing
there, there was a real study. Like, she's
misrepresenting a real study by
an advocacy group that interviewed 70
Filipino migrant workers about the status
of their life after the wildfires. They lost
all their work and stuff. So,
uh, they interviewed 70 women. So one in six
means 11 women. And the question
was, was worded vaguely enough
that could have been like an awkward hug from a landlord
or something. Right. So like
she's, it was not any way, it never
intended to represent every resident of Maui
or in any way, shape, or form
was turning to sex work. It's absolutely
fucking insane. But I think what she did, there's like
this old, it's apocryful story in Hawaiian
history. We're like, when John Cook
air quote discovered Hawaii, I crashed landed
out there because of a storm, that like
his, the guys on his ship were trading
nails from the ship for sex
with the natives.
So she boss believed there's something innate
to the Hawaiian spirit that they love trading
butt stuff for sundries.
Um,
So going back to their actual flood response
Um
Fuck goddamn
There's like a call center for people to call for help
Not for like emergency help but for like middle term stuff
Like we need water here power yada yada yada yada
A bunch of contractors at the call center were laid off in the middle of the fucking response
Because gnome didn't green like the renewal of their contract
So the result of this was
That's what I was about to ask about the famous
is it like more about like doge you know fucking axe handles smashing government cuts type shit
or incompetence under trump where they just fuck everything up so bad or like a combination of
of both you know so like she didn't renew their contract but just because she sucks at the job
and meant to do it and just didn't or because they're you know they're still doing their like
government efficiency stuff and purposefully let the contract expire
she has to personally approve every expenditure of over six figures so like nothing can happen
without her green without her say so right like they like can't even gas up the emergency choppers for like
less than 100,000 so like there's nothing can move this is like this is like stories you hear about
the Soviet reunion like the Chernobyl response um so like the basic math numbers here so that
uh according to the york times or july in july 11th only two thirds the calls the disaster assistance hotline
and when unanswered.
And answer rates dip to 35% to last 6th and 15.9% until last 7th.
So, yeah, hundreds of contractors got fired.
She didn't renew these contracts until July 10th.
So right in the middle of all this, like, so to walk you through this, so it was renewed
five days after they expired and six days after the flooding.
We're going to come back to this flood response a second, but I just want to note here
that Quistianome is quietly becoming one of the most insane.
liars in America, even for this government.
Here's another clip of her talking about immigration last week.
Third day, I was talking to some marshals that have been partnering with ICE.
They said that they had detained a cannibal and put him on a plane to take him home.
And while they had him in his seat, he started to eat himself.
And they had to clean off and give him medical attention.
These are the kind of deranged individuals that are on our street.
I mean, what?
Like, is that?
you said earlier, it's like she's misrepresenting a study
that was actually about this. Is there a version of
that here that she, or is that just
like, yeah, like God only
knows, yeah. I don't know.
It's wild. You said she's becoming one of the most
insane liars in America. It's crazy because she was
already one of the most insane, like
I don't want to call her a truth teller,
but I'm saying she told the truth about
killing her dog and all that stuff.
Like she admitted to insane shit
also when she should have lied
about it, maybe, or just obviously
not done it to begin with. And then now
lies about, you know, insane shit
when you don't even need to.
There's no reason to tell a lie about a guy
eating himself in a fucking
on an airplane.
We're assuming she was honestly
said she shot her dog, but she also,
after that said she never read the book
and her ghostwriter made up that story
about her shooting her dog.
Right.
So, this whole flood response,
just like reeks of that kind of
steady professionalism.
You mentioned the acting administrator of FEMA,
a guy named him and David Richardson.
He's the guy that did not know
there was such a thing as hurricane season.
And that leaked, he said he was joking.
Like, you just joke around to the staff of female, about being surprised at such thing as a hurricane season.
He finally visited Texas Hill Country on Saturday, you know, more than a week after the flood.
Here's what he showed up wearing, if you got this picture, Matt.
Jesus fucking Christ.
That looks like my, one of my best friends growing up, his alcoholic divorced dad when he would, like, be heading out,
trolling for ass on the weekends or whatever, when he was home from driving his tugboat on the Mississippi River.
That's how he used to dress.
I can almost smell his fucking, like, brute, cologne, or whatever it is through this picture right here.
Also, if you're just listening to the podcast, Pia, I'm sorry, rest of peace to your buddies, yeah.
So, like, he's wearing like a short sleeve shirt with the sleeve sleeves still rolled up, but it's unbuttoned down below his nipples.
It's easy trying to bag fresh widows after the flooding or what the fuck are you doing.
Right, yeah, yeah.
Was, also, what's that, what's the, is that some kind of chain?
Is that dog tags or something?
Or is that like, it looked like dog tags to me.
Yeah, I don't know his background.
So, lost in all this, like, the stuff they're defunding, like, FEMA is like a, like a support organization, right?
But, like, the majority of, like, disaster responses are local agencies or volunteers.
And you and I both grew up pretty rural.
So I think we know that a lot, there are a ton of volunteer firefighters in America, but I didn't realize it was this many.
Roughly 85% of fire departments across the country are volunteer or mostly volunteer, according to the database run by FEMA.
FEMA runs the National Fire Academy that trains all these people for free.
So these are people who are willing to risk their lives for free to save their neighbors.
All they're offered in exchange for it is a free plane ticket to go to some training.
And FEMA's like, no, fuck you drown.
Right.
Yeah, it's, I don't know, man.
It's all fucked up.
Again, it's like I think that people, people just don't think about how things happen or get done, you know what I mean?
Or the necessity of it.
Like we talked about recently, it's like they think that things that they do like or that everyone like, you know, when something's on fire, you want firefighters to show up, but they don't think about how that actually happens or what the government's role might be in it, you know, even with volunteer departments, the fact that they train them for free or whatever, it's like, you know, shit just gets taken for granted and then, uh, fucked up by.
Yeah. My, my first job, jobs loose. I get paid $5 cash the end of the night, but I was like eight, nine years old.
I was like hanging, hanging targets for a turkey shoot at the fire department. There was how they raised money for their,
A lot of their operations, just like, basically it's gambling where you shoot at a target with a shotgun.
Yes, yeah.
Yeah, I think they're called them, I think it's called them meat shoots in Solana, but it was the same thing.
Yeah, yeah, you basically gamble, he shoot at a shotgun target, and then the person with the closest, with a shot made a whole closest to the center of target wins like meat or wheel of cheese or whatever, right?
That would like, or they would, the guys would get together and cook a big, like, a huge cauldron of stew and sell plates of it for like $5 or $10.
dollars like that's how you keep the community afloat in places like we're from right and
and all they all they're asking for for the federal government is some training and trump's like
no uh so a little bit of a fun dystopian side note to this this thing is happening where
people all over this country i think it happened in florida too this story's out of oklahoma
are trying to damage local tv stations weather equipment yeah i think it controls the weather i just
came back from Tulsa and I looked
up, I was in Tulsa this weekend
and I do this everywhere I go. I look up like
you know, Oklahoma News or whatever,
whatever state I'm in, just see what's going on
since there's something I can talk about.
And I saw this story of this dude
who was the leader of something. It was pretty funny
because they said they like, I'm assuming it's the
same guy you're talking about, but they were like, his
group, his anti-government militia group
or whatever was like targeting weather
radars and the Oklahoma
news station had like reached out to
the guy and interviewed him and had asked him like, is it
true you're talking and he was just like just completely unapologetic he's like yeah we're gonna do a
hell a lot more than that too all right because i know what's going on here you're defying fucking
you're playing god and fucking causing but just absolute lunatic who thinks that and they also
interviewed a meteorologist who was like okay just everyone's clear these are how we know
when like tornadoes are going to happen this is how we know when things are bad which you would know
if you were causing them trey right yes right but this guy's like we're using them too
make tornadoes or whatever for god only knows what reason but yeah it's fucking and that dude oklahoma's
maybe the worst place for something like that to happen by the way right but it also makes sense if
you're a lunatic because that's where the weather is the worst you know so you're gonna think that's
where they're going the hardest with their weather machines i guess but yeah tornadoes have the shortest
warning of any weather thing that i can think of outside of maybe monsoons and like so like like yeah
you need the most alerts there and they're just absolutely not going to do it so you're talking
about a guy named Michael Lewis, Arthur Meyer, who's a head of a group called Veterans
Zone Patrol.
And yeah, News Channel 9 asked him if you were, the Veterans on Patrol was classified by, as
an anti-governed militia, according to the Southern Poverry Law Center.
And his quote was that you were just alluded to is they were asked, Mayor was asked if
Veterans of Patrol was responsible for this guy who damaged the weather station.
And he said, Veterans on Patrol is responsible for a lot more than that, so they're going
to do the Oklahoma City bombing, but of clouds.
Right.
no. But yeah, the guy that actually got arrested or got Char's his name's Anthony, Tyler
Mitchell, he's 39 years old. And here's him. He damaged the camera after they got his picture.
That's pretty poetic. It makes sense coming from these people. What I did, I didn't bring up
that story specifically because I know I mean the crowd would have heard it already or whatever,
but why I did talk about was like, I realized like it's why this is actually a good sign of
how truly insane are the times we're living in are is this, right? Because it's like,
you can't even bring up the fucking weather anymore without, you know,
perhaps inciting a fight with some lunatic in your family or causing some big argument.
Like,
that used to be the goat.
If you didn't know what to talk to a person about this,
you know,
the cliche was you just bring up the weather and that's always going to be fine.
But it's like now,
you know,
you'll be at Thanksgiving.
It's like just wherever you do,
do not Brent mentioned the weather to your uncle Randy because he's got,
he's really on one about the weather right now.
And it's like,
that's fucking,
that shit is wild.
Yeah, so that's where we're at right now is like a guy who is mad at the weather at a different state is destroying a TV station's radar systems, doing stochastic terrorism, and a dog t-shirt.
It looks like he bought at the gas station.
Yeah, so let's talk about some contradictions being heightened.
Absolutely.
So this helps you shit, man.
Like, as this is an anthropologist of fucking this like online fascistic movement.
it's like fucking fascinating i think we've reached the limits of how much you can you can lie to people
especially about a truly insane dumb issue but dumb is like dumb because they misconstrued
it not because there weren't real victims or whatever not that they're on real concerns but like
this is an issue they care deeply about right and they're just straight up being fucking
gas lit about it and they're going goddamn insane that the rest of us have been doing for 10 years
yes right yes 100% that's what because like unlike i feel like a lot of things where it's like
you know we're talking about like how do people in my hometown justify the shit that
Trump does that fucks over towns like mine very explicitly and it's like well they don't they
blame the Democrats or whatever they don't see it that way or they don't know about it and
they get different information but it's like with this story in particular they've been like
heavily bought into it for so long it's been a huge priority for them and their whole
position has been you know it's because this is going to blow the whole thing wide open on
the, you know, the evil Democrat-led global cabal of pedophiles, you know, with ringleader
Bill Clinton and whoever else.
And Trump is going to be the one that shines the fucking, you know, incandescent light of
justice on the whole thing or whatnot.
And so in this particular case when Trump, even though he's their guy, when he's, you know,
when he says to them like, no, everything's fine.
It's not a big, you know, to shut up, stop worrying about it.
They're having more trouble than usual with just, you know, with just being like, oh,
Yes, sir. You're right. And moving on. And it is like, you know, it's interesting. I have no expectations for these people at the end of the day. I'm sure they'll find their way back to, you know, toe in the line or whatever. But it is, this is the first time I can ever remember something like this really happening.
This is the first time there's ever been a Trump-related controversy that has his own base pissed at him.
Right. Exactly. Yeah. In 10 years, I can't ever remember another time that this has happened. So it is interesting for sure.
Yeah, and you can't like, you're like trying to lie to the QAnon types and hardcore anti-Semites about like the nature of Jeffrey Epstein and what might be in the case files is like trying to lie to you, try to like lie to you about the layout of your house.
Right.
Like they know this shit front and back.
Right.
And there's a lot of deeply weird stuff right, Epstein.
And you're saying like, oh, there's nothing there is like it reads like, you're literally like if you're pissing in my mouth and telling me that it's raining.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like, just, but it's just like, the way Trump bumble-fucked this, because like, the last, last week's show, we came on here, and they put up the statement saying there was no, it actually was no Epstein list. And we joked about it for a minute, then we moved on. But the next day, they had that big cabinet beating where Trump yelled at a reporter for asked him about it, and that's really what jumped all this off, right? It's just like a crisis PR bumble-clucking, bumble-fucking master class. Check out this graph of the Google search results for Trump versus Trump at Epstein. It's went up like 350% in the core of the course the last.
week.
I feel like Charlie Daniels here,
Benghazi ain't going away,
but like Jesus Christ.
So that got everybody mad at him.
Then on Saturday,
he posted a statement on his own
social media platform,
true social.
He got ratioed on his own
social media platform
that's exclusively for his supporters.
It's like getting booed
at your own birthday party.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
And it's like,
it's the first time anything like this
has happened with them because they're just
like, you know,
they're the most
fucking bootlick and true believers
there are generally for the most part
but now this is like
we thought this whole time it's like
is there a bridge that's too far for these people
it's like maybe there even isn't
and there still might not be but it's like this seems
like perhaps at least some of them
have reached the proverbial
bridge too far on this subject
I'm not saying there's like some great political
realignment but here happening here but like
there were a ton of people who thought they'll vote for
Trump was a vote against the corrupt elite deep state.
And then for the past month, you've got Iran, the budget, Epstein.
So maybe they'll be realized they've just voted for a standard-issue Republican.
And for the health of society, redistributing the lunatics across the political spectrum would be really helpful.
Yeah.
Because you're not going to have a society with no lunatics.
Right.
Yeah, no.
We need to be divided up among like the Democrats, Republicans, libertarians, non-voters, alien people.
Yeah.
Spread them out, right?
But although some of them, and I'm sure you've saying.
some of the truest of true believers they've already like moved on meaning like
Corey put some in our group chat or whatever like some guys on X just say just literally saying like
listen I think at this point it's pretty clear that Trump was probably involved with the Epstein
stuff and is yeah maybe you know molested some children or whatever but he's still a great man
and a great president and as Christians we must find it in our heart to forgive him
because there are more important things
than being a child predator or whatever
and it's just like, it's wild to have a person
whose brain works enough
to go like, well, look,
I can't deny any of this.
This looks pretty bad.
You're right.
I have to acknowledge that.
But also, I'm totally okay with it.
Like, it's weird to have a person
who can do both of those things, you know?
The wildest one Corey is saying
with somebody's like,
what if it happened to your daughter?
And the guy was like,
well, Jesus says to forgive.
So I guess it'd have to.
Like, Jesus Christ.
Right.
So, Joe Biden tried to help him out this.
Joe Biden, I have no idea why he's doing interviews anymore.
But this is controversy bubbling on the right about, like, him using an auto pin
to sign a bunch of stuff, including pardons.
And so he gave an interview where he admitted they used the autopin a lot, which is like legal.
Presidents do it all the time.
But they did the Magistphere, it gave them something to complain about.
But like, they basically want Dr. Fauci's pardon to not be enforceable so they can execute Dr. Fauci.
So, Fox News this morning did, like,
Like, they mentioned Joe Biden 46 times and Epstein Zero.
So they found, they gave them a morning off.
But I don't think this is going to be enough to get them through.
But the funniest response is, is Mike Lawler on CNN earlier today?
It might have been yesterday.
Michael Lawler was a Republican congressman from New York.
And as I said, if somebody did something, if there is evidence of a crime committed,
and possible to them.
In the absence of that, what are we talking about?
you say there's a lot of nonsense a lot of nonsense from whom what do you think
explain to me what you think the nonsense is well frankly the fact that you're even
covering this i mean i don't even understand frankly what uh why we're spending a lot of time
on geoffrey epa okay okay because the president made a central campaign plank to a large
chunk of his base and then is talking about it in the white house the uh the uh the uh the uh
FBI director used to go on Q&On podcast and talk about the Epstein files.
The second command of the FBI had his own podcast.
We talked about the Epstein files.
Pam Bondi said she was about to release the Epstein list, a client list.
She does no longer exist.
These people made a new, like I don't like you live in a fucking culture right now
where we spend a lot of our political discourse talking about billionaire pedophiles.
I don't think that's fucking sane or helpful.
But like, I didn't do this.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, no, I know they've, again, they do this type of shit to themselves all the time.
I feel like, you know, getting in messes that they themselves made, but, you know, just, as we've already said, it's just different this time because it's like, usually that doesn't matter.
Like, usually they do that.
And then when they say, why are we talking about this?
And then everybody, all the magabase, just like, yeah, why are we talking about this?
And then it's over.
And while the rest of us on the other side are like, this is fucking crazy, you know, and they're like, I get over it.
That's normally what happens.
But they did, they somehow didn't realize that this specific issue was, was, was.
you know, different for them.
Yeah.
It's like, you know, telling the Boston Red Sox fans that the 2004 title has been vacated
or something.
So, let me call him Matt Walsh, conservative, very popular conservative hate monger, influencer,
okay?
The attorney general said she had the client list on her desk.
The White House made a big show of giving binders Mark Epstein files phase one to a bunch
of influencers.
Now they tell us there is no list and we should stop talking about it.
Well, why did you say there was a list?
Why did you pull that stunt with the influencers?
Why did you call it phase one?
obviously implying that there were more phases to come.
Like, they're paying themselves in the weirdest corner because now they're only two options to defest up to having misled the supporters for the last decade or be seen as part of the cover-up.
There's not really a third option here.
Right.
And by the way, I mean, why did they do that stuff?
I know that the one thing, she got, like, we showed it on here with that lady at breakfast with like a hidden camera or something, asked her about it.
And she kind of got put on the spot and said some shit about, oh, they're on my desk.
we're going to be working through them or whatever.
And it's like, that's one thing.
But all this stuff that Matt Walsh just pointed out, like, I mean, why did they do that?
You know, here's phase one.
Like, where would, where did they think it was going?
They're just trying to get to the next five minutes with a lot.
That's everything all the time, right?
So, like, like, I don't understand, like, people, people hate being played for fucking dupes about anything.
It doesn't really matter the stakes of it.
And it's like, the real, the question is, like, are Trump's.
minions covering it up, or did they export the sexual abuse of children to help get their guy elected?
The third option, the only person I've seen go with this is a normal QAnon thing.
Scott Adams did this, the Dilbert guy.
He was like, this is still part of the plan.
Trump's winking at us, tell us, like, don't pay attention.
Like, the real answer is coming later, which is what Trump has to hope happens is the Q&O instincts come in.
This is all just part of it.
The funniest part of Trump's statement was saying that the Epstein files, whatever's in there is an Obama, Hillary Biden plot against him.
Um, whatever Epstein was doing, he's been doing it since the 80s, and the original cover-up of the first criminal investigation that's initiated with West Palm Beach Sheriff's Office and up with the FBI, that happened under the George D. Bush presidency.
So, in my opinion, it's bad tradecraft for Obama, Hillary, and the deep state to generate fake Epstein files, but then forget to implicate anyone in MAGA and these fake files, which they therefore do not release, which Trump has seen also won't release.
Exactly.
I was about to say, it's like,
hey, him saying that implies that's like almost like a tacit admission.
Yeah, yeah, I am in them.
Yes.
But, you know, but it's Barack's bullshit is all it is.
But then, like you said, but they, Biden, Biden was in there for four years.
Obama's boy, you know, they had, the Epstein was fucking long dead by the time that even happened.
Like, if that was true, why did they not, they had him, you know what I mean?
If they orchestrated the whole thing to frame Trump and these Epstein.
files or whatever, why would they not take him down while Biden was in the White House or during
the campaign or whatever? Like, why would they just fucking sit on them? And if they had a reason
to sit on them because it wasn't going to work in their favor, then why would Trump then sit
on them when he gets in office, you know, if it could exonerate him or whatever? Like,
it just, none of it makes any fucking sense at all. And it really is this dumb. We were tough to parse
Trump's like, because Trump talks in meandering ways or whatever, but if you blow it down his
case it's essentially these three points okay there are no files i am not in the files that don't
exist and also the fake files are fake right and also if i am in the fake files that are fake it's because
they you know you know that it's a frame job that but i'm not at them but if i am that's why and also
there's no files but if there are files then those yeah so yeah so you can tie yourself in knots
about all this shit like you screw your brain into a fucking mass a jumbled mass of nothing but like
if you want to keep it simple if trump were over
seeing a cover-up on behalf of the rich buddies
he just gave a tax cut to,
what would look at you different?
Mm-hmm.
You know what I'm saying?
So,
um,
the funniest part of this,
they've released a cut of the video feed
from,
from the prison where Epstein
killed himself or Eric will kill himself
depending on,
I think it's more likely not
he killed himself,
but like whatever.
No, I agree with you.
It's like we talked about before.
It's like the,
that doesn't really even change as much
as people act like it does.
Like it's still, you know,
it.
Right.
So they released the video and there was like a minute missing,
but Pam Body's excuse was funny.
It's funny to me because I know no one's going to buy it,
but it's sort of expensive how government computers work.
But she's saying like they don't have enough room to store everything.
The system resets every night at midnight.
So from midnight to 1201 every night, it's missing in every night.
That seems stupid enough to be plausible to me.
Do you understand?
But it also creates, if you're watching enough heist movies,
like that's the minute when you would do the killer.
Of course, yeah, right?
Yeah, right.
Yeah, that feels like a contrived, like, you know, weakness in the security system in a
hoist movie that they can, you know, that someone uncovers that they can exploit or whatever.
If you watched it, you'd be like, well, why would it work like that?
That's pretty convenient, you know.
So it'd be funny if it actually did.
It's the wamp rat-sized hole in the Dust Star.
Yeah, right.
So, but they did release, the video files they released, besides I've been missing minute,
the metadata shows that have been edited.
it. Now, I don't know anything about metadata, but obviously now it is the Doge intern who fucking
edited this video clip, because you would not, there's ways to cover it up that I'm not smart
enough to do that they did not do. So I don't think this is conspiratorial, but it's obviously
stupid. It's going to rile up the conspiracy. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah. So, but why
on the subject to data, I do think it's deeply funny. Wired magazine got a whole, they, they bought
some data packets from commercial data brokers and we're able to track location data for a bunch
people that went to Epstein's Island, all right, and figure out, they didn't, they did not
publicly say if they had suspicions over who any individuals were, right?
But they did know where they're coming from.
It's mostly people from, like, what do you call it, Martha's Vineyard, Southern Florida,
and Central Texas, okay?
Okay.
But there were zero phones going to Epstein's Island from Europe, but we know that, like,
there were French girls that were traffic there, and that Prince Andrew hung out there.
And it's like, the best guess.
Yes, is because Europe has better data privacy laws.
What I'm saying is, if we let the elites know that unless they give us better data
protections, we will know when they go to the pedophile island, we might get better data
privacy laws.
Right.
Yeah, there you go.
That's a, that'd be nice.
I'm sure they'd just find a way to make it only apply to them somehow, but, uh...
Right.
So, the whole reason Trump put out that statement on Sunday, on Saturday was because the entire
MAGAM movement was turning on Pam Bondi, and he wanted me, call it from his statement.
They're all going out to attorney general,
Pam Bondi who's doing a fantastic job
this is after
the reason they're madder is because Dan
Bongino number two at the FBI took a mental
health day on Friday because he was so upset
over the Epstein stuff
that's so hilarious
oh my God so they're like
fire Pam keep Dan right
but Bondi is the least
implicated person here
right not run for higher office
slamming Jeffrey Epstein
yes but she is not a woman
and also a convenient scapegoat or whatever.
I'm kind of just surprised that Trump even went to bat for her, like, at all.
Because of that, unless it's, you know, because she can make things more, you know, difficult for the whole thing.
If he does and, you know, that turn on her at this stage.
Yeah, right.
She's never going to come clean because she's a thoroughly corrupt person.
I'm saying, like, I'm not defending her.
She is a piece of shit.
I'm just saying, like, she didn't grift off the I've seen stuff, nor did she, nor was she implicated in any of it.
She was attorney general of Florida, but not until 2011.
after the first Epstein case was already resolved, right?
But Cas Patel, man, we've got to watch this clip of him in 2023
and remember that this current moment, presently,
he is the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
Who has Jeffrey Epstein?
I look at that book, yeah.
But who?
That is, I mean, that's under direct control of the director of the FBI.
just like the manifesto
Yeah, it's so funny
Because he is the director of the FBI
Uh-huh
Here's a tweet, cash posted
I think it was Thursday or Friday
The conspiracy theories just aren't true
Never had been
It's an honor to serve
The President of the United States
And I'll continue to do so
For as long as he calls on me
If these guys want to testify to Congress
They were just making this stuff up
For years and years to explain
And then explain why I thought that was a good idea
Then go ahead
But otherwise, fuck off
yeah i don't understand how stuff i'm always
we've brought that we this has come up before because things like this happen all the time
with these people there's like there's always a clip of themselves from you know earlier
years for days gone by where they directly either implicate themselves or you know
highlight how hypocritical they are contradict themselves or whatever and i just
it's just wild to me the level of like shamelessness you have to have because we all know
the era we live in you know like he was on a fucking glenbeck
When he says that, you know what I mean?
Like, he knows what he used to say.
He knows he's full of shit now.
He knows that there's direct physical evidence of all of it, but he's still, well, you know, what choice does he have?
He still just has to say with a straight face, you know, act like none of that ever happened
and just, you know, try to Jedi mind trick people into thinking that they never saw you do that or say that.
And I just don't feel like I have the capacity as a person to even, whatever the, like, leftist version of that could even be.
I don't think I could do that either
because it would just
I don't know
I'd go crazy
trying to fucking do that chance
you probably need a mental health day
from your job as number two at the FBI
so
you got to put yourself
in the mind of Q and on people
for a second here
with the hardcore MAGA people
with the Groypers and shit
like
they're being deprived
with the ending of their movie
right
we talked before about how like
Americans are thoroughly movie-brained
but Q and not people are like that on fucking steroids.
Right.
They literally talk about getting a popcorn and watching a show.
Like, at least the crackers from a shitty movie.
All this stuff is from shitty movies.
The, uh, the, they get prepared for the storm or whatever is from the line from a movie.
All their expressions where we go one where we go all is from a fucking movie.
And they've been promised by themselves and bunch of mega influencers a climax, like a big reveal where a bunch of Democrats, rhinos and deep state people are led away in chains to be executed.
Right. And it means so much to them, too, because it's like they believe it so hard. It would be so thoroughly vindicating for them. Like, they fantasize about that moment. You know what I mean? When that happens. And they could be like just how, how righteous they can feel and validated and vindicated to all their fucking, you know, all the people that said they were crazy or whatever else. They could be like, oh, see, I knew it. I fucking knew it. I tried to tell you all, you know, like they all, that's how much it means to them, you know.
They think their strange families will have to apologize,
and then this Christmas they'll get to see the grandkids for the first time in years.
Right.
That's what they think.
That's what they think they're being deprived of here.
And, like, this conspiracy canon that I have so wrong, once it gets turned on you,
I'm not sure how you get it off you, because, like, there's this meme among, like,
this is part of what Grock was doing when I went a full of Nazi last week.
It kept using the white supremacist's meme noticing.
Are you familiar with this, Trey?
Noticing?
Uh-uh.
They frame a lot of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories where they piece them together as like noticing connections.
A lot of noticing is just noticing someone has like a Jewish surname, right, involved in something.
So, but like there are a lot of conspiracy theorizing is just noticing connections, all right?
So like, and piece them together in a way that sort of makes reality makes sense or the reality rarely makes sense.
So going back like to June 6th, when Elon and Trump are hardcore fighting the first time,
when Elon posted Trump was in the Epstein files.
Later that day, Trump released a statement from a lawyer named David Schoen,
who represented Epstein for nine days before his death.
Okay.
So this guy represented him just long enough hypothetically to help set up the murder.
Okay.
And Schoen said in this statement, I can authoritatively, unequivocally,
and indefinitely say he had no information to hurt President Trump.
I specifically asked that.
So this guy has version of stories.
He specifically asked his client, do you have dirt on the president?
Mm-hmm.
And then Epstein said no.
And then now he's violating an attorney-trial-client privilege to vindicate Donald Trump,
who he went on to represent as a second impeachment hearing.
So what do you do once you notice that?
Right.
Yeah, you had another thumbtack to the court board, you know,
a red string out.
So all these mega-influencers basically to choose between Trump are pissing off their audiences.
And their choices have been fascinating so far.
So, like, you talk about audience capture, man.
Even if he guys believe Trump, they can't really say so
because then they lose their audience.
They have to fucking get a real job.
I don't think that's going to happen.
So, Betty Johns and his pick, his viewer's side.
Scott Adams, I told you, said this is part of the plan.
Charlie Kirk said he's not going to, Trump called him and yelled at him,
so he's not going to talk about Epstein anymore.
So he's just basically choosing the middle path of, like,
no resistance to anybody.
One of the reasons Trump might have called Charlie Kirk to yell at him
is turning points USA.
Charlie's organization had an event this weekend.
that Tucker Carlson spoke at
and here's a clip of Tucker
speaking at Charlie's event.
The earnest of it drives me crazy
and it's particularly going
in the case of Jeffrey and the whole
constellation people around Jeffrey Ep
all of whom seem to be getting away
with Sam.
How do you know they're getting away with stamps?
I'll tell you how people they're useless and they're rich.
He's still in my bitch, right?
He's still in my fucking bitch.
Most useless people with no actual skills
become billion.
I mean, you're like, yeah, you'll get, don't get me wrong, I hear you, Tucker, but like, uh, yeah, but where is that coming front or that, you know, just, again, shows you just how wild this whole situation is, but he's, uh, he goes on to lay into our tennis buddy, Bill Ackman for like five straight fucking minutes there.
Just rip him apart the point where Sacks had to post like an hour long Twitter screen in defense of himself, but how he's a self-made man.
not really
but so
as what the
Democratic says this
like
I think what I would do
I saw a clip
with John Osop this
this weekend
where he basically
just made fun of it
where he's like
oh he really thought
this sex
pest was going
to release
Epstein files
the audience laughed
and just moved on
and that's probably
all you can do here
Rokana
says he's going to
introduce the bill
as an attachment
to the Genius Act
the crypto bill
that'll demand
to release the
Epstein files
and I got to say
man
the reason I would go
with Osop's line
is Trump did break a campaign promise.
That's probably what I'd go after him for here.
What Roe Con is doing is trying to peel off the Q&N types
by going back to promising them a conclusion to their story.
Right.
You're picking up Trump's campaign promise
and trying to carry the ball forward.
That feels really stupid to me.
Yeah.
Because like...
But he also...
I feel like they do this a lot.
You know, they say a lot of things about, like,
I'm going to introduce this.
if I could call it, while knowing that, like, well, no, you ain't.
Or not that, no, you ain't, but it ain't going to amount to anything or whatever.
Do you know what I mean?
But it gives you, like, a good sound batter, like, a leg to stand on when you, you know, shit you can say.
Or, like, you know, so it could also just be that because that's one thing that's like, we just all know that's never going to happen.
Like, even if he does do that, they're not, Congress is not going to, like, actually pass a, also, even if they did.
Trump would have to sign it, right, if it was a bill,
so then he'd have to refuse to sign it,
and so that's part of it anyway.
If it sabotaged the passing of this crypto bill,
then that would be good, I guess.
Oh, yeah, there you go.
So, but also, like, what if they released the files
and Trump isn't personally implicated at all?
Like, have you thought about that?
Because it's very possible, like, Trump,
Trump and I've seen were close friends
until about 2004 when they had a falling out
over a real estate deal, okay?
Yeah, but do you think that,
I don't know,
Why would, Trump is the most, you know, narcissistic and selfish person alive.
If he genuinely wasn't implicated, why would he put himself through all this?
Because of all the friends he has who are implicated, who, whatever, he owes money to or whatever, they've got other shit on him or something.
And they've demanded that he not do it, even though he himself is, right.
Yeah.
I mean, no, sure.
But I just still can't.
I feel like at a certain point, he would just tell them to fuck off if that was the case.
Yeah, without knowing, there's also, they might have just like, this is going to be this, this is the stupidest first of reality, but they might have just relented to the fact that it is an intelligence thing and the deep state made a good case for them to why these facts should not be put out there in a public record because it would have been dangerous shit or something? I don't fucking know. But like, I do know that I don't think Trump would have like had a falling out with a guy over money who had blackmail material of him having sex with children. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah.
So, like, that's the part, this is the part where you get in, like, to be fair to Democrats, like, I don't know how, like, it's really difficult to talk about Jeffrey Epstein and sound safe.
Right. Yeah. Yeah, because I'm already, you just said that. It does make sense, but it's also like, it's possible at that point in time he didn't know, none of them knew, you know, they were all doing it. They were all going and partying there and they all knew it was going down or whatever. Maybe they didn't know that he was stupid to not assume he was keeping some kind of receipts or whatever. But either that they didn't, they didn't know at that time he was doing it or that it was like, well, it ain't just me. It's literally.
every powerful person in this fucking, you know,
sphere right now
in his orbit.
And so, you know,
he ain't going to burn all of them.
And I don't know.
There's just,
you can always,
like you said earlier,
you could just think your fucking,
you know,
you can think your brain
into fucking pretzels.
Right.
Trying to make sense of all this
or decide what's really going on.
Right.
Like,
because it's like,
you just start describing it
and you think,
like, people,
like,
like you just straightforward
did like a paragraph long explanation
of what Jeffrey Lepstein's whole deal was,
people would walk away from me
at a party. Do you know what I'm saying? Like it doesn't, you sound like a lunatic. He's a billionaire
sex trafficker who hangs out of presidents and Prince Andrew and Saudi Emirates on his private
island, which features a temple and a giant sundial. Show these pictures, Matt. These are the pictures
are from NBC News. This is not from the dark web or some shit, if you guys aren't familiar.
I don't know why you have a giant sundial. I guess it's a cool art piece, but like when you
factor in, there's also the temple here. Show this blue temple, Matt.
No, they're doing weird shit around that.
Right.
So this could be, like, this could be anything.
But here's the part that's even weirder about this fucking thing that's on his island.
It's like, whatever the governing authority is over the building permits for, like, unincorporated, like, U.S. Virgin Islands that are privately owned.
Whatever he, the paperwork he filed to build in that spot, it was supposed to be a music pavilion.
So he misled the local government in order to build that thing, which is what the fuck.
you know it's like it's also like it's hard not to talk about Epstein stuff like also without sounding vaguely anti-Semitic because his name's Epstein and when we get to the Epstein as a spy stuff everyone's best guest or second best guest who he worked for is Mossad but he's also like good friends with former Prime Minister Ehud Barak who wrote his plane 30 times he was heavily invested in the Israeli tech did defense tech industry Epstein was but like I just
I'm the last person
the world
is going to talk about
Israel as a country
and not as a religion
and like Israel
as a country
they does spy on us a lot
because they've been caught
doing it
in a bunch of high profile
scandals
they stole the nuclear
program from us
so if we don't
talk about Israel
like it's like
Russia and the P-tape
as opposed to
a blood libel for a second
yeah
yeah
pretend it's like
French intelligence
like the DGSC
they're running
honey pot schemes
and they're in their country
where they can say
to consent
when like 15 years old
okay
if you're not
super familiar with the Epstein stuff. Everything
I'm talking about here is like in the public record
triple sourced reported
facts, okay? I'm not like, I'm not conspiracy
theorizing here.
Epstein's
inexplicable workwife who didn't have a job,
Gleyn Maxwell,
her father was a double agent
from Mossad in the UK
and when
he died mysteriously,
naked drowned off the side
of his boat.
Israel gave him a state funeral.
All right. There's also like
the level impunity
Jeffrey Epstein was allowed to operate at
going back to the fucking 70s
he just felled up constantly
Right
He got a teacher
A job was a teacher
At a elite Manhattan private school
While having no college degree
Or teacher certification
He got fired for being bad at his job
For hitting on the underrated students
Then he got hired at Bear Stearns
Because the father of one of the kids
Who went to his school liked him
The guy named Ace Greenberg ran Bear Stearns
But Ace Greenberg also lent a bunch of
money to Trump, if you want to go back that far at the level of their personal connections.
Then, Trubb, Epstein got fired from Bear Stearns for SEC violations, then immediately started
his own firm with whose money, he can't be, he can't even a working class family.
Right.
And then he would tell people at parties and shared the early 80s, he worked for the CIA.
Yeah, no, I know.
It's, I've, yeah, it's all fucking super weird.
It's always like, where did, he just has all this money and, you know, runs in the most
elite circles on earth and everything.
but it's like and that when you it's like okay whatever he's the party guy for those people
but like how did he get into that position to begin with you know like how did he get the
money and get into like it's all it's weird as hell i mean same way get to Carnegie hall baby
practice practice practice so going back to the this the brood crumbs that made people think
he's a spy this is according to nbcc news and the daily beast during the 1980s
Epstein possessed an Austrian passport that had his photo with a false name, and the passport
said he was a resident of Saudi Arabia.
In the 80s, one of Epstein's clients was a Saudi businessman named Adnan Khashoggi, who was
the middleman in transferring American weapons from Israel to Iran as part of Iran-Contra.
So, Epstein's either a spy or a huge liar, which you can be both, or he's just completely
amoral, which is the norm for working in international finance and money longer for all these
all these different kinds of people, right?
I do want to say, when he was briefly in prison,
like, so the Florida court case,
I think the sequence of events goes something like this.
The West Palm Beach County Sheriff is investigating Epstein.
They start with like a mom of a 14-year-old fondic complaint.
They round up 30-some victims.
But the DA will not prosecute him.
So they call him the FBI.
The FBI, the U.S. attorneys, Alist Ocasta,
who goes on to be Trump's Labor Secretary,
gives him a sweetheart deal for 18 months.
in prison for sexually assaulting 36
children. When he was
in prison, he got the Goodfellows experience.
They put him in a private wing of the prison by himself
with an office and a TV.
He got
work release after only three and a half months
where he got six days a week,
he got 12 hours a day out of prison.
He would get picked up from the prison by a goddamn
limo driver. Dude, see?
Like, I'm saying
it... I want
to know, man.
Like, I want to know.
I want to have answers to all this shit and make it all make sense, you know, like, let alone the fucking, you know, hardcore conspiracy theorists and stuff.
It's no wonder they've dug into this so hard.
It's, it's, it's wild.
It's like, you know, I don't know what's happening, but I do know I'm being lied to.
Right, exactly.
Yes.
That's like the one thing everyone can agree on about it.
I do want to say if he was a spy, he was pretty fucking bad at it.
Like, like, possibly no one's considering here as he was a spy, but this, but the sex criminal stuff was a hobby.
and not part of his professional operation
which people fuck up at work
you know
but like here's a magazine profile of him
from 2002 I want to read from
it was headlined
Jeffrey Epstein
International Money Man of Mystery
2002 was like four and a half years
after Austin Powers came out
so the headline of this piece
is basically saying
Jeffrey Epstein
spy
he comes with cash to burn
a fleet of airplanes
and a keen eye for the ladies to say nothing of a relentless brain
that challenges Nobel Prize winning scientists across the country
and for financial markets around the world.
Ever since the post page 6th ran an item
about the president's late September visit to Africa
with Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker
on his new benefactors customized Boeing 727,
the question of the day has been,
who in the world is Jeffrey Epstein?
It's probably bad for a spy to be in a New York magazine.
I just want to say that.
Also, the, the, the, the,
government of Israel put up a statement today, they're forced to deny that Jeffrey
Epstein never worked from Assad.
And I got to see, like, the fact that the Ehou-Brock rode in his plane 30 times leads
me to believe them, because that's a really, it's not exactly a fucking covert up.
So, like, all this stuff is so stupid.
And going back to Alex Acosta, Jeffrey Epstein was brought up when he was being interviewed
as part of his vetting process for Trump, to be in Trump's cabinet.
He was, can quote here, I was told Epstein, quote, belonged to intelligence and
to leave it alone, then it was a quote
above his pay grade.
Trump had transition team accepted that
is enough and hired him to be
Labor Secretary until he was fired from
the more Epstein reporting came to light.
And Acosta, do you know what he's doing now, Tray?
No.
Nothing. He completely vanished
from the limelight after the Epstein
stuff came. It feels like telling
to me he wasn't that old. These
political psychos are super fucking ambitious.
Which leads us back
to where we started the story, which was the
cabinet meeting last Tuesday when the question that set Trump off to Pam Bondi was she was asked
whether Jeffrey Epstein was an intelligent was a spy agency asset and she said we can get back to you on that
I have no knowledge about that we can get back to you on that she could have said no
yeah but she can't say yes right I think a maybe is a fucking yes yeah right no I know yeah it's like
You know, she could have said no, and it's like, I mean, you know, unless she does know that it, you know, that she can't say no for whatever, you know, or it will make things worse or has the potential to in the future.
Or she at least is aware of the possibility.
And I don't know, man.
The whole thing is pretty nuts.
I don't, uh, I don't know how I would talk about this if I was Democratic politician.
or pundit or whatever, but I do know how, like,
I don't know whether I would just make fun of it.
I don't know where to call for anything.
But our favorite congressman,
Richie Torres, is cutting a third path,
which is basically doing the meme for the Conan podcast.
The guy goes, my friend Jeff Epstein,
the wealthy financier,
he's Richie over the weekend.
It's Jim Downey, by the way.
Oh, yeah.
Funny guy.
Well, we've been clear that the Epstein
controversy is a distraction of Donald Trump's own making
that he was fanning the flame
of the Epstein conspiracy theory
during the campaign.
And so now he's essentially an arsonist
pretending to be a firefighter.
And there was no need for an investigation.
The medical examiner had investigated the matter
and found that Epstein died by suicide.
The same conclusions were drawn by the Bureau of Federal Prisons.
There was no need for a new investigation
unless the purpose was to legitimize a conspiracy theory.
All right.
So now we're going to conspiratorial here.
I think what's happened on there is some low-key, like,
anti-Semitism on like the scale of like saw bigotry of low expectations kind of thing so
richie for context we've talked about about him before blake uh he's he's a black and
Puerto rican from the poorest district in america which is 85% black and Latino yet he spends
a ton of time on Israel stuff I'm just presenting you with facts here
Politico has described him as Israel's loudest supporter and uh he here's what he was
tweeting on june 10th of last year he was he was talking about uh Israel um
Uh, his number one individual donor last year was APEC.
They gave him $536,000 per opensecrets.org.
And he got $1.1 million from pro-Israel groups overall.
And then today, like, I think he's doing, he's trying to say, hey, look, there's no conspiracy.
Epstein killed himself.
Let's all forget about it.
Because he thinks Israel did it.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Because then today, somebody must have called him.
Like, actually he's not a messab, bro.
You don't have to do this.
Because here's what he tweeted today, Trey, after, after fucking, uh, doing it.
that over the weekend.
Dear Donald Trump
and Pam Bondi,
release the Epstein
files.
Whatever happened
to promises me
promises his
guy.
Okay, so he got
new marching orders
obviously.
Yes, he just
went on TV popping off
reflexively defending
Jeffrey Epstein
trying to quiet this down
because he thought
it'd be good for
whoever the fuck
you thinks he works for
and now he completely flipped.
I'm like out of this
all this stuff
will drive anybody insane.
Fuck it.
Just like Richie Torres,
please get another line of work.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
Who knows since we'll ever
be made of it
and probably not likely to do it here,
but we could cover it if and when it does happen.
But in the meantime, it, you know, sure is interesting stuff.
