Donald Trump can try to run, but he's not escaping this one. The fallout from the Epstein files continues. And it's only been a partial release. And in that partial release, there have been tons of unlawful redactions. Democratic Congress member and ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, Jamie Raskin went with other House Democrats and others into the Department of Justice. And they were given permission to look at what was behind those redactions. And it's horrifying. Horrifying. Also, we know there are a lot of unlawful redactions covering up communications between Trump's lawyers and Epstein's lawyers relating to Mar-a-Lago. We're going to talk about that on this episode. You had Gilein Maxwell. She was scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee earlier today. And while she was willing to speak with Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney, turn number two at the Department of Justice Todd Blanche several months back when it came to her testifying before the House Oversight Committee, as we predicted, as we've been saying all along, she's invoking her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination when she was already incriminated of child sex trafficking. And she's run out of appeals. The Supreme Court rejected her request for Sarshi Yorori a few months ago, actually October 4th or October 6th. And so she's run out of appeals. And so she can claim, ah, I still have my appeals around. No, she doesn't. We're going to break down the truth about that. And meanwhile, she was begging for clemency. And she goes, I'd be happy to vindicate Donald Trump. If I can just get clemency from Donald Trump, then you had James Comer, the chair of the House Oversight Committee. We'll show you this clip in a little bit. He was asked about her request for clemency. And if he thinks that Donald Trump should give her clemency, and he didn't say no, he was like, that's going to be up for Donald Trump. It's going to be up for Donald Trump. She's a convicted child sex trafficker who was moved from a facility in Tallahassee where she belonged to this club fed VIP facility in Camp Ryan, Texas after she spoke to Todd Blanche several months back. She doesn't belong to be in this facility in Texas because she's a convicted child sex trafficker. She's literally banned, but she got an exemption from Trump's bureau of prisons. We're going to talk about that. Also as part of this cover up, you have Trump's DOJ, specifically the federal prosecutor, which is actually just Janine Piero, who signed this document in Washington, D.C. requesting that criminal charges against Steve Bannon, stemming from his obstruction of the January 6th committee, his refusal to show up where he was convicted by a jury, I might add, she's requesting that that case be dismissed. That's still a pending case, technically, because he has not been finally rejected by the Supreme Court. So unlike the Gilaen case, the ban in case is still pending, but now Trump's DOJ through Janine Piero is requesting that the case be dismissed. And this is as Bannon was found to be all over the Epstein files, constantly communicating with Epstein about working with Trump to overthrow governments around the world and hoist up these mega candidates and mega politicians in places like Brazil and elsewhere. And as Bannon was talking to Epstein about refurbishing Epstein's reputation, Donald Trump is clearly, in my opinion, trying to help Bannon to also buy Bannon silence about everything that Bannon knows there. That's a big story. And you have now almost on a bipartisan basis, people calling for Howard Lutnik, Trump's Commerce Secretary were to resign after it becomes more clear his extensive ties to Epstein, including being involved in a business deal together shortly after it appears that Lutnik visited Epstein's island with Lutnik's children and the children of other friends of Lutnik, they entered into a business deal together. We'll talk about that. We can't forget about what's going on internationally and we have to focus on everything. Like you should note that you have a new crane. Russia has been bombarding Ukraine with ballistic missile strikes, cruise missile strikes, Shahid drones, and a lot of the air defense in Ukraine has been struggling because the US has claimed that it now has a shortage of these pack three missiles that go in the Patriot missile system. So the US is like, we can't give you the pack threes anymore. And so Zelensky's had to find ways to boost their air defense with the US really not helping the way it did before or really kind of starving Ukraine of what it needs. And also Zelensky learned while the Ukrainian delegation was in the United Arab Emirates about a potential trade deal that the US is trying to enter into with Russia, where Russia is promising to give the US $12 trillion in economic value, despite the fact that Russia's annual GDP is about $2 trillion per year. And that's been the main focus of Trump trying to do this $12 trillion trade deal. It's a fake deal. Russia doesn't have that money. And Trump has demanded terms of surrender for Zelensky yet again. And so really what Trump is doing with Ukraine is every month or so he comes up with a new plan to try to force the surrender there. And then we'll talk about horrible jobs reports that have been coming out here in the United States. And the Trump regime's view that it's going to be great for AI and data centers to replace workers and put, you know, a hardworking American people out of business. So in other words, we have a lot to discuss. Let's bring in Brett and Jordy, a long intro there, but I think an important one to outline the made issues that we're going to be discussing. A lot to discuss. Indeed, brothers, great to be here with you guys. Great to be here with everybody watching and listening, whether you're watching us live on YouTube or whether you're listening on the Midas Touch podcast audio feed. It's great to be here. So much to discuss. This cover up goes incredibly deep. We've been discussing the consequences from the fallout of the Epstein files happening overseas. And I think one of the crazy things are that we are seeing how many ties Epstein had to people in this Trump regime. And it's so deep that I think it may take less time to name people who are not tied to Epstein in this Trump regime, then to name the people who are. And I think that you see that Trump is afraid right now because if everything truthfully came out about these people, you would start seeing this government fall the way we are seeing governments overseas get absolutely decimated by the release of the files and the consequences of that. And so right now we are going to continue to hold people's feet to the fire. I think one of the most kind of revealing things about this whole saga has been watching these kind of cabinet members and other associates of Epstein, whether tech leaders like Elon Musk or whether we're talking about Howard Lutnik. People say things like I cut off contact with the guy in this year. And then we inevitably find out when the files released that their relationship was far deeper than that that they had far more contacts with with Jeffrey Epstein with Galein Maxwell, you name it. And I think they're lying kind of speaks a lot to those relationships. And at least, you know, it leads you to at least think that there's a lot more to it than they are leading on because it shows you that they are hiding information. You can make an adverse inference based on all that. We're going to get into it all. And then we get a lot to discuss. Jority, what's the latest in your in what's up brothers? What's up, my dismidey? I'm excited for today's show a lot to get into. And Brett, look, it's your point exactly. It's why we don't lie, right? It's why as like at your court, just don't lie. The truth is always going to come out eventually. And so when you see all these folks who lie, Brett, to your point about the folks who are like, I ended communication with Epstein in this state. You thought this was never going to come out. Like you genuinely thought that you could corrupt the government in such a way that you would never personally get exposed by this. And now it's all blowing up in your face. And for me, it's so disheartening because this should never be political, right? The release of the Epstein Biles should not be a political thing. This is a humanity thing. And we should want the best for people. We should want the best for the survivors. All of us should. And the right-wing media ecosystem who, you know, touted their chest on releasing the Epstein files about four or five years. Whatever that was, they've gone silent. Crickets. Which just goes to show you just like a small sliver, a sample size, if you will, that those people, they don't care. They don't actually care about the release of information or anything that could help the survivors. They're just using them. They're simply using them to, I don't know, prop up their own status. It's really bizarre and it's deeply offensive, actually. And for me, again, it's not a political thing. When the files are released, release all the files. Redact the things that need to be redacted to protect the survivors, right? Anyone who's involved in the Epstein Kabbal, expose them all. I don't care what political party that is. That's not a political thing to me. Expose them all. 1000 per second, say with my whole chest, Ben. Yeah, you know, look, when we report on the Epstein files, there's a philosophy that we have here at the Amidest Touch Network. Number one, we can't ever lose sight of the survivors. And that within these files are human beings, are girls who may now be women, who some who didn't make it, who died and were killed, right? Who were sexually abused and tortured and raped by this Kabbal? Right? And it is important in discussing it to make sure their stories are told. And so it's important for us. And I'm going to be doing a lot more of this as we help tell the story of Lisa Phillips or Anushka DeGeorgia. You may have seen the interview we did last week. And I've been in contact with a lot of other survivors. And I'm going to be doing a lot more long form interviews with them. The way I just did with Anushka, the way I previously did with Lisa. And I want to share their stories. And I want them to be able to tell as much as they're comfortable sharing. Because when you hear how they were trafficked, it brings a new layer to it versus just the document. So there's that aspect of it. There's another layer to this, which is the Epstein class. We've heard that term more and more. And the idea of this Epstein class, these oligarchs who are out there using the girls and their sex trafficking as the currency, as they manipulate the world, and then also inflict suffering writ large on people throughout the world, tampering with governments, interfering and intervening in economies. Epstein is on these emails that led to Brexit. Epstein is on these emails that led to the hoisting up of Bolsonaro. I mean, part of the emails or text messages between Epstein and Banan involve Epstein saying to Banan, I didn't like that Bolsonaro. He was the MAGA puppet in Brazil calling any association with you, Steve Banan, fake news. Though I understand, I'd prefer a MBGA hat. Make Banan great again, hat is what I believe it stands for to which Banan says, gotta keep the Jair thing behind the scenes. My power comes from not having anyone defend me. In other words, my power comes from being the deep state, basically, is what he's saying. Might be made in Brazil again, right? And Jair Bolsonaro is the MAGA puppet in Brazil who is the insurrectionist now, who's been put in prison by the Supreme Court there in Brazil, which actually had the strain to do the right thing, unlike our Supreme Court who gave double Trump absolute immunity. But there's lots of emails like that, Brexit, Jair Bolsonaro, crypto, I could go on and on and on about inter, oh, about Crimea annexation. I mean, you have Epstein talking about shorting the rubble right before the annexation and how that's going to create opportunities while he's speaking with Prime Ministers and princes and princesses and world leaders and the top business executives. I mean, there's a photo of him and Zuckerberg and T, like all these people, almost looks like they're in a dungeon in this photo. It was a photo that was unepstein's desk that was hard to even know what it was, but now that it was in the files, you can see it was him and then every major tech person who went from being like, I don't know, pretending that they cared about the world to then becoming these right winged Trumpers and they were all there like kind of plotting it out behind the scenes. And so you have this other macro story about the Epstein class that are screwing people and that's going to tie into what we talk about later in the episode as they push AI and data centers to replace workers and try to destroy people's lives that way as well. And I think we're showing the photo right here that's in the email from Epstein to Peter Atia who he was then brought on right prep by what CBS to be a reporter there. Yeah. And then, you know, and recently when CBS became a Trump regime media source and then you can see over here all of these people who are sitting around them. So there's that that we're going to talk about. But the lying is just what these people do. Their words are meaningless. These tools for them of control. Whereas you watching or listening to this may feel guilty if you tell a lie, right? Like you may go, my God, I can't believe I did that. Like maybe what do I do? These people lie every day and they lied about Epstein, but they lie about everything. Like Howard Lutnik lies about everything and he does that with that repulsive bad guy voices. Wow. We're going to tell you how I got to do. And it's like, and of course lying about Epstein, but they lie about everything. And so, you know, we're trying to get to the bottom of things. We're trying to get to the truth. But the Epstein class wants to cover all of this up, right? That's why G-Layne Maxwell spoke with Todd Blanche, Donald Trump's criminal defense attorney who became the number two at the DOJ several months back. She didn't invoke the Fifth Amendment then. She didn't say, I need to be protected. No, she went willingly. She lied through her teeth. She said the things that Donald Trump wanted to hear and then they moved her from the Tallahassee facility where she belonged and they moved her to a camp in Texas where she gets to do yoga and play with puppies where she's actually banned from. And then she said she couldn't testify before Congress because she had an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. So she said, I can't testify until the appeal is resolved to the Supreme Court because my case is still active. And while that's obviously BS because she was willing to talk to Todd Blanche, at least there you can say, well, yeah, okay, wait till the Supreme Court makes the ruling because that's the last place you could appeal to. We all get that. The Supreme Court. Well, she lost in the Supreme Court. So now that she lost in the Supreme Court, she was supposed to testify earlier today. She has no more appeals when she goes, well, I'm still pursuing my habeas corpus petition. Okay, every prisoner has a habeas corpus right, right? Although Donald Trump in this regime denies lots of people, the writ of habeas corpus, it's in the Constitution and it protects people from unlawful detention by the government. So it's not an extra appeal. It is this extraordinary writ that you say, ah, things that have not been addressed by the appeals process, things that have not been known by the Supreme Court or the Circuit Courts. I've just discovered new things to show you that my detention is unlawful. Every prisoner in the United States has the ability to file a writ of habeas corpus under the Constitution. So it's nothing. So she's saying because she wants to file this writ or she filed a, in my opinion, a frivolous writ that therefore she has an appeal. That's a lie. That's just stop the freaking lying right here. So when she went in to testify to Congress today, we knew this at the Midas Touch Network thanks to our extensive sourcing and we've been saying this for, frankly, months now, that she's going to invoke the fifth, she's going to say habeas corpus. And sure enough, she did. And I want to give a hat tip though to Democratic Congress member, Rokana, because he knew what she was going to do in advance. And so before she testified, Rokana wrote a list of the types of questions that he would ask her and he wanted confirmation that these are the questions that she thinks would incriminate her, which is why she claims that she needs to plead the fifth because she's saying that I have a right to plead the fifth to not testify against myself to incriminate myself possibly. So Rokana says to Chairman Comer, okay, here are the questions I'm going to ask her. So confirm that she's going to invoke the fifth and say she can talk about these questions because it might incriminate her. And this was confirmed today. So I'm glad Congress member, Kana got ahead of this deposition and put these questions in writing. So here are the questions. On December 17, 2025, Ms. Maxwell, you filed the habeas corpus petition stating that four named co-conspirators and 25 men who entered into secret settlements were not indicted as part of the investigation. Is that statement accurate? Who are the four co-conspirators and the 25 other men other than Epstein, who sexually abused minors at Epstein's island in the New Mexico ranch or is New York residents? And why do you believe they were not indicted? What information evidence or personal knowledge do you have regarding why these individuals were not charged or prosecuted by federal authorities? It is well documented that you, Donald Trump Epstein had a social relationship and there are several photographs of you together. Did you or Mr. Epstein ever arrange facilitator provide access to underage girls to Donald Trump? After Trump publicly stated that he would look at a possible pardon for you, did you or anyone acting on your behalf of any discussion with him or as representatives about a pardon or a reduced sentence in exchange for your silence? What client lists or records did you or Mr. Epstein maintain that documents the identities of clients or associates? Please identify any foreign governments, whether it's Israel, Russia or anyone else, that you or Epstein were acting on behalf of. She invoked the Fifth Amendment on those questions saying that if she was forced to testify, that could incriminate her and that she has a right not to speak on those questions. So I think it's important that we actually talk about the question she's refusing to answer, Brett Jordan. Yeah, and I think it's also important to note that in my opinion, it's actually not about incriminating her. That's the cover story that she is using. The Fifth Amendment she is using as a cover for her actual intent because she knows right now that she is serving a 20 year sentence and she has reached the end of the line as Ben said with all of his appeals, the Supreme Court's not taking this. She's got nowhere to turn. No where to turn except one direction and that one direction is towards Donald Trump. She knows that Donald Trump right now holds the cards over her life, over her freedom. And Donald Trump has refused to say whether or whether not he would grant her clemency and give her a pardon and free her from prison. So Glean Maxwell right now is holding this out as a bargaining chip to Trump. And her lawyer who was kind of very clear about this today in a message that he posted when he spoke about his client going that she was going to be pleading the Fifth. And this is her attorney here. Here's the statement. It's from David Oscar Marcus, Glean Maxwell's attorney. And he said on my advice, Glean Maxwell respectfully invoke her Fifth Amendment right to silence and decline to answer questions today. And though she would very much like to answer your questions. And here's the tell. If this committee and the American public truly want to hear the unfiltered truth about what happened, there's a straightforward path. Miss Maxwell is prepared to speak fully and honestly have granted clemency by President Trump. Only she can provide the complete account. Some may not like what they hear, but the truth matters. For example, both President Trump and President Clinton are innocent of any wrongdoing. Miss Maxwell alone can explain why and the public is entitled to that explanation. So just saying it out loud, Donald, if you grant me clemency, guess what? Guess what I'm going to say? I'll come clean, wink, wink. And I'll let them know that you weren't involved in any of this. Don't you want to clear your name? Well, there's one way that you could do it. You know, I think we're going to have a conversation with President Clinton. I think we're going to have a conversation with President Clinton. I think we're going to have a conversation with President Clinton. I think we're going to have a conversation with President Clinton. I think we're going to have a conversation with President Clinton. I think we're going to have a conversation with President Clinton. I think we're going to have a conversation with President Clinton. They're best friends from back in the day. So she's appealing to her best friend to get her out of prison. It's the craziest thing that we're witnessing right now. And he might do it. It's offensive. It's offensive to the American people. They're insulting your intelligence. They're saying you're too stupid to call this out. You're too stupid to see what's happening here. It's the most obvious thing ever. It's really unbelievable. And just from anyone's perspective here, like I don't care if you are a Republican. Don't care if you are a Democrat. I don't care how you identify in the political spectrum. Don't you find it weird that the President of the United States just will not go out and say, I will not grant you clemency, Golan Maxwell, I will not give you a pardon. That should tell you everything you need to know right there. How Donald Trump has been behaving about all of this. And the fact that he just won't say those five or six words. It's really, that's it. That's what it boils down to as far as what his complicity. So obviously is to me, Ben. Brett, pull up that statement one more time, the full one by David Oscar Marcus. If we've got it, just look at this. Ready? On my advice, Golan Maxwell will respectfully invoke her fifth amendment right to silence and decline to answer questions today, even though she would very much like to answer your questions. She must remain silent because Miss Maxwell has a habeas petition currently pending that demonstrates that her conviction rests on a fundamentally unfair trial. Just pause there. It's why I like to establish an understanding between you and I, you listening and watching and what the law is as I would in my law classes that I teach right. They're using big words like habeas petition and all these things. But their appeals are done. Every prisoner can make a habeas petition. So this is not some new appeal that she has. She's just using it as pretext. Okay. So let's just go through the next statement as well. Let's pull open that statement. Let's pull it up. Then it says she must remain silent because Miss Maxwell has a habeas petition. For example, jurors lied during Waddeer to secure seats on the jury and the government promised immunity and then broke that promise. Newly disclosed documents now demonstrate these facts conclusively. So pause there. This was the exact argument she made to the Supreme Court. So there are new documents. We've all reviewed the files. The Epstein, the files make her prove that she is extra guilty and that she should have been charged with far more than she was actually charged. She got off easy by having to only serve about 20 years in prison. There's no new documents out there that vindicator. These are the old recycled arguments. And then let me just put it to you this way. If all of this was true, then all of this existed when she spoke to Donald Trump's DOJ. Right? All of these same things that she's claiming that prevent her from speaking to Congress existed at the exact same time. In fact, the Supreme Court hadn't even ruled yet on her appeal. So when she was speaking with Trump's former criminal defense lawyer, who's now the number two at the DOJ, that could have potentially incriminated her more if she wants to go that route because the Supreme Court didn't even rule. And of course, Brett, as you say, these the Fifth Amendment is all pretextual for her to basically tell Donald, give me clemency. But my point is, stop gaslighting us on this. And especially stop gaslighting on a topic of child sex trafficking. Like that's to me, you're going beyond being a zealous advocate there when her lawyer says that, which I understand that lawyers can represent bad people. And occasionally, that's what lawyers, criminal defense lawyers do. But to me, this is something different what he's doing in posting. And it's disingenuous. And to me, it's just, it's actually horrifying. Let me share this with you. James Comer, who's the chair of the House Oversight Committee. He's asked about what he thinks about clemency. Should delay Maxwell get clemency? Should her child sex trafficking essentially be forgiven by Donald Trump? Jordy, to your point, the answer is no. Of course, she shouldn't. What are we talking about here? There were little children, little girls who were raped. We can give her a clemency. For what? Clemences for people who were proven to not do what they did or people who engage in extraordinarily good acts while they're incarcerated and can prove that they're, what would it be? Guilayne, not only that Comer, but she's obstructing Congress. She gave you the middle finger today. She's doing everything wrong. So what do you think about it? Comer, let's play this clip. Mr. Chairman, quick question. What are your thoughts about Guilayne Maxwell's lawyer saying she needs clemency to test it before she testifies? I don't know. Initially, she said, month ago that she would testify if we granted her a musical Oversight Committee. And we discussed that after we met with the survivors and they didn't support that. So we never considered that to that. So this was something you today. Obviously, that's not for me to say that's for the president's side. He doesn't rule it out. He says, that's for the president to decide. And that's the guy right there who gets like literally turned on by the idea of having the Clintons testify about Epstein. And then when the Clinton say, we will testify in public. Let's do it in front of the cameras in front of the world. Let's go. Then he's like, no, no, no, we're not going to do that. Let's keep it secret. Okay. So you're treating Guilayne Maxwell significantly better than any other witness out there. And you're not ruling out giving her a clemency after she just went in front of your committee and refused to answer any questions and gave you the middle finger. Like if you're the chair of this committee, again, I don't care what political party you're from, you should be pissed. A convicted child sex traffickers making a bogus fifth amendment claim in order to try to extract a grant of clemency. So basically extort the Congress and the White House into letting her get clemency when she was instrumental and convicted of child sex traffic. Like you should be out there screaming the way I am. And he's like, well, you know, we were thinking about giving her a immunity. But then some of those of our, I just didn't want to give our immunity. So, you know, if you love a clemency, give him this child sex traffic, a clemency. What do you see what the president wants to do if he wants to give her a clemency? I'm going to leave that to him. Gotta go to the new hell are we watching? You know, look, there's that expression. The cover up, you know, is worse than the crime. Obviously not the case here. The crime is beyond anything beyond, beyond repair. The cover up though is just absolutely despicable. As you see all of the different politicians and everyone sort of involved in it. It's nonsense. It's offensive. That Comer can't just stay there. No, he shouldn't get, he should not grant reclemency. No, absolutely not like with his whole chest. It is offensive the way they're going about this. And it's all because in my opinion, they're trying to cover all of their asses now, right? They're the dog who caught the car. And now they're trying to figure out, well, how do I solve this problem? What do I do now? Right? I don't actually want the information. I just wanted a campaign. I just wanted to use the survivors to campaign off of them. That's what these Republicans wanted to do. I really wish that these people who had these positions like James Comer leads the House Oversight Committee or a Todd Blanche who's the deputy attorney general. I wish they were actually in these positions to do their job, right, to try to get to the truth, to actually try to investigate things. But you, I mean, we realized this a long time ago. You realize very quickly that they're in there for one purpose and that's to protect Trump. And, and to go after Donald Trump's enemies, you know, they talk about government weaponization during the Biden administration, which is just absurd. It's, it's anybody who knows the Biden administration knows that that's ridiculous on its face. But that's exactly what they are doing. And so they view their task as how do we protect Donald Trump? And how do we go after people who Donald Trump doesn't like? And every kind of step in this process, they have put up roadblocks to actually getting the truth in this situation. I mean, we've seen what Blanche has been doing who's done an absolutely horrific job intentionally. So there's a reason why Donald Trump put his criminal defense attorney in charge of this, in charge of this project. And we're seeing even just like what happened today? Like we're learning that, you know, Jamie Raskin went to look at these files. And the, because members of Congress today were able to see the redactions, they were actually able to see what was under the redactions. And Jamie Raskin's been saying that, and this is big news, that they made it as difficult as possible for these members of Congress to see the redactions. First off, some of the, some of the areas were still redacted. They weren't supposed to be redacted at all. They were supposed to be able to see everything. They only had floor computers in the room for everybody to look at all the files. And he said that according to calculations by his staffers that it would take seven years to go through the files for these members of Congress to go through the files, the way that the department of justice is setting this up. So they've done this for a reason. They do this to try to muck it up because they don't want the truth getting out there. They don't want people to know what is actually behind these redactions. But now you're starting to see some people like Thomas Massey kind of start to hint at some of the names behind these redactions. And I know Rocana earlier today said that he saw at least six co conspirators names who were redacted by the DOJ. And co conspirators names weren't supposed to be redacted. They had one instruction. Hide the victims personal information, redact the victims. And they failed at that yet they're protecting all the people who were actually involved with Epstein. It's heinous. Yeah, as our editor and chief Ron Philip Kowski writes now we learn from representatives of both parties who saw the unredacted Epstein files today. The Trump Bond and Blanche are covering up the absolute worst things in the Epstein files to protect the wealthy powerful and politically connected. DOJ is being run by criminal co conspirators. It's true. As I've said before, I wasn't being hyperbolic. The DOJ in my view is now a Rico defendant. They are a racketeering defendant in the enterprise of covering up a child sex trafficking ring. And all of the DOJ lawyers are implicated in my view the same way you would in any Rico case. And here's the thing in like a Rico case. Anybody part of the enterprise kind of knowingly or unknowingly can be charged in a in the Rico case. So, you know, to me, if the whole DOJ is a racketeering enterprise now that's covering up a child sex trafficking ring. What if you're just a line prosecutor in Nevada? Right. What if you're just an A USA in Oregon? Right. Like what if you are a prosecutor in Florida? You now know that the enterprise that you're a part of is implicated in covering up child sex trafficking by violating the Epstein Transparency. You have a reckoning that you have to do with yourself because if you are applying the Department of Justice Manual to these prosecutors, they'd be part of the Rico enterprise. And they could be charged if the law were applied everyone in the DOJ. You know, I'm not, again, I'm not being hyperbolic. I just think that's the reality. All right. Let's talk about what lawmakers who saw what's underneath those redactions are talking about. I know we had a long segment there, but I like when that first segment is long.

Trump scolds CNN's Caitlin Collins for not smiling when she was asking about Epstein child sex trafficking and then you could have added on to that Donald Trump attacks bad bunny and says that a performance where bad bunny said together we are America love beats hate let's come together the most un-American thing ever as Donald Trump post that I'll just mention it briefly because these things have happened but this is Donald Trump's behavior every single day right he is of the Epstein class he is engaged in demented sick evil behavior grotesque behavior that absolutely needs to be called out in clear terms to me it's not enough to say he made a racist post no I think you need to say that he posted a photo of apes that the heads of former president Obama and Michelle Obama were for the first time in the world and then he said that the post was very strong about election fraud that's what he said and then he won't apologize for it's it's sickening it wasn't just that he said to Caitlin Collins why don't you smile it was that he said it in response to her asking about child sex trafficking and the problem with you is that you don't smile enough you're like a young woman who doesn't smile smile more you have that and you have Donald Trump attacking an Olympian an American who's competes in freestyle skiing because he said I have conflicting emotions right now because there's so much that I love about this country but then also there's things that I don't like like masked ice agents and border patrol out there abducting people and so just because I'm wearing the American flag doesn't mean that I support all of that conduct to which Donald Trump posted U.S. Olympic skier hunter has a real loser says he doesn't represent his country in the current winter Olympics if that's the case he shouldn't have tried out for the team and it's too bad he's on it very hard to root for someone like this make America great again right you know I'm just so looking forward to the day in a post Trump era where we can have a leader of the United States conduct themselves with dignity to respect our world. The world is a real Olympian athletes to not post these vial racist memes right that should be the bear minimum to take allegations of child sex trafficking seriously right the these times oh this is a politicized no it's Donald Trump and maga politicizing everything even a bad bunny half time performance which was beautiful which actually didn't say anything about ice or board patrol which it could have right it was just someone who said together we are America you know we love each other let's love each other respect unity dignity and they're like oh my god this guy's not speaking English this is so divisive this is what you're I wish that you would give a fraction of the anchor that you had to bad bunny to a child sex trafficking ring that's taking place so I just wanted to address this. There Donald Trump's post but I want to focus on what the cover up that's taking place as it relates to the child sex trafficking ring here's what Democratic Congress member Rho Khan has said regarding Gilae Maxwell's deposition where she refused to answer any questions let's play this. I submitted to Comer a letter six or seven questions things like who were the other co conspirators who were the other men who raped these underage girls did she have any conversations about a deal with Donald Trump now she's taking a blanket fifth amendment on any question and my view is that many of my questions don't in any way incriminate her so we'll see what she does but there's seven questions that I have specifically asked and the assumption issues pleading the fifth to each one of those in the American people will see that there's an inconsistency why did she not please the fifth when blanche asked her questions and now she's pleading the fifth about things that don't implicate her but may implicate many of the other powerful people in the Epstein class that committed this right and that's a term that needs to be used over the Epstein class because it's truly what it was it was an Epstein class and is an Epstein class of predators out there. And they're among us right now and that's why they're concealing that and they're out there being predators still doing this hiding behind red actions so let's talk about what was behind some of those red actions here's what democratic congressmember Jamie raskin who's the ranking member of the house judiciary committee here's what he said about the DOJ being in cover at mode for many months let's play this. I think that's the connection that they held up for leasing this so that everybody wouldn't be as thoroughly prepared for her testimony Wednesday. I think that the Department of Justice has been in a cover-up mode for many months and has been trying to sweep the entire thing under the rug and the more deeply that I get into it because obviously our colleagues on the oversight committee have taken the lead but judiciary plays a very important role because we oversee the Department of Justice but the more that I've gotten into it the more I believe that the survivors here the victims who are now in the U.S. are active citizens for justice really are leading the way and we need to be having hearings with the survivors to hear from them about their experiences so they can explain what happened and so they can begin to set forth a theory of what took place we need to be investigating the money we need to be investigating the organizational hierarchy. There's no way you run a billion dollar international child sex trafficking ring with just two people committing crimes Jeffrey Epstein and Colleen Maxwell no way it doesn't work like that so we need to figure out what other conspiracies were involved what are co conspirators were involved and I really do believe that listening to the survivors is going to be our pathway through this nightmare. Next here's what Jamie Raskin said about Trump's lawyers speaking with Epstein's lawyers has seen in some of these redactions let's play it. Are you even well known individuals? For example Mr. Wexner his name was redacted from a government document and I couldn't understand the logic of that he was not a victim and his name has appeared other places now the Department of Justice has not sent forth it so called privilege log so it's not explained yet. Why there might be certain redactions that have been made I saw one document which was an email that was sent by Jeffrey Epstein to Colleen Maxwell which was the forward of an email that he had received from some of his lawyers giving an account of a conversation between Epstein lawyers and Trump lawyers and others about what had taken place during that 2009 period it was during the period of the 2009 investigation and Epstein's lawyers synopsized and quoted Trump as saying that Jeffrey Epstein was not a member of his club at Mar-a-Lago but he was a guest at Mar-a-Lago and he had never been asked to leave. And that was redacted for some indeterminate inscrutable reason I know it seems to be at odds with some things that President Trump has been saying recently about how he had kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club or asked him to leave and this was at least one report that appears to contradict him. There's more clips of Congress member ask but I think we get the point there he goes on to talk about how DOJ had one job redact the names personal identifying information and photos of the victims and survivors they did not do that so it was either done recklessly or maliciously right and maybe a combination of both but then when it came to the Epstein class that's where all of these redactions are and we're not even talking about the fact that there are still about three million documents which may be as many as 25 to 50 million pages that have been hidden right now by the DOJ which I believe are the most devastating Breton Jordy. It's really horrifying and you know for asking us able to see that with his limited time in there just imagine if he actually had full access to see everything for an unlimited amount of time these documents are are you know not difficult to parse through but they take time I mean I've been spending so much time digging through the publicly available ones and if I was just given you know a couple hours and a few computers with time constraints I don't know how I would even be able to do that job. But the fact is everything we've been fed from this Department of Justice has been a lie there have been so many inconsistencies throughout this entire investigation going back to Trump's first term and far before that that were things just don't add up and there are so many inconsistencies that you can't help but thinking that they're covering something up and covering something up big I mean you see these FBI documents where they say that you know there are someone in the FBI agent purposely removed a hard drive from the GL recording system that was recording Epstein cell knowing very well that that would wipe it clean and make it so deleted all the footage on it like you hear things like that and you're like okay maybe if one of those things happened it could be a coincidence but when everything kept happening like this in order to cover up whatever the hell happened in that prison cell and all the actions of Jeffrey Epstein and all of his crimes and all of his co conspirators when it keeps happening over and over and over again. You could really only draw one logical conclusion and it's that most of this at least is very much on purpose. I mean do you guys remember when cash Patel a few months back sometime last year sat before a Congress and said that Epstein had no co conspirators that it was just he ran a sex trafficking ring just by himself. There's nobody else involved. I mean it's outrageous. It's absolutely outrageous and cash Patel was the guy who was leading a push for Epstein on all of his podcasts and was coming up with all these conspiracy theories in order to try to implicate all of Donald Trump's political enemies but now that it's caught up to him now that cash Patel actually has seen the files seen Donald Trump's name in the files all the sudden he starts out having a different tune about all of this and none of what he says is not a good thing. So there's a lot of fishy stuff going on. I think that goes without saying and they're going to keep putting up roadblocks. They're going to they're going to keep trying to hide this because the fact is as we're seeing overseas with these other governments it extends to far more than kind of one co conspirator here or one co conspirator there. This is a network as Ben was referring to it as a network of the Epstein class people in powerful positions throughout the world. People who are in charge of running major organizations people in charge of running major banks major corporations major law firms universities governments you name it are all implicated in this and they're all trying to protect each other because because I mean it could lead to the collapse of all of these various entities and institutions if all the truth comes out. And so I think we need to be aware of that and we need to just you know continue to stay on the case and I'm glad that we're actually finally now getting people like raskin who are actually able to get in there and give us the truth on this and bipartisan consensus to not just from raska not just from real con but from people like Thomas Massey Republicans who are coming out and saying I saw the names of the co conspirators in there who the Trump administration was redacting and hiding from the American people the whole things nuts. I guess for me to it's like what is the DOJ's plan here genuinely like what is their plan to just continue to do these delay tactics and act like they're fumbling it like oh like it's my shearing competence that's why those names were redacted all what were maybe we'll fix it and show to you in a hundred days and just hope people like start. Stop forget like forget about this whole thing I genuinely like it makes me so confused what they're trying to do and Brett's your point right there obviously trying to it feels like protect a lot of people here but ultimately the more they deflect the more they conceal the guiltier and guiltier they look the guilty or the whole cabal looks and the more you know conspiracy theories it starts to throw at this whole thing and it's just ultimately people want the facts people want the truth. So the more Trump and the Trump regime tried to hide from the American people what's out there the more questions people are going to ask about this this is not going to go away it's not a one person thing right it's not just oh maybe we just have to get rid of this person everyone will stop talking about it no at this point everyone is hyper focused on it there is no way you can distract the American people from this we all demand answers. Look even maga republican and a pollina Luna is responding to might as touch social media post you don't get much more maga and a pollina Luna in response to our post saying gillain Maxwell's lawyer says his client will only speak of Trump France her clemency Luna writes no clemency you comply or face punishment you deserve justice for what you did you monster and then David Oscar Marcus gillain's lawyer says a sitting congressman wants to punish someone for an vote. He's been looking at constitutional right sending someone to harsher confinement because they invoke a constitutional right is something we associate with authoritarian I think he was also referring there to row condos post because Rokana said you need to send her to maximum security facility because she was moved to the minimum this you know this camp this club fed and Anna Paulina says your client is actively obstructing a congressional investigation and only willing to testify after claiming to be the victim if she gets immunity. You are getting paid to protect a pedophile in traffic traffic her who is really sad here and then Marcus goes hello congresswoman invoking a constitutional right is not obstruction it's what our great country was built on personal attacks on council don't change the constitution or beneath your office to which she goes this is not a personal attack it's what you're doing you're getting paid to defend a pedophile in a traffic that is the truth I'm sorry if you don't like it what about the constitutional rights of the church. Children your client is looking for immunity for crimes in exchange for testimony where she could give us names you may be able to twist facts and court to sway jurors but those games don't work with us and it's not even that she's convicted and she lost her appeal to the Supreme Court this is not someone who is like well now I'm appealing to the circuit court she was found by a federal jury to be a child sex trafficker it's done the case. This is over her appeals are done this habeas petition thing it's literally BS and that's what's pissing me off to is that they're trying to act like well she still has an appeal she doesn't her appeals are done the habeas is just a constitutional right to say that you're being detained unwaffly it's not every prisoner has that right and it's utter it's just this should enrage everybody regardless of what political party that's not the case. That you're from right we come back I want to talk about two more topics and want to talk about internationally you have trump threatening Canada again to take a to steal a bridge from Canada that's Trump's new attack on Canada then you have trump threatening or not threatening working behind the scenes with Russia to do a fake $12 trillion deal to force a complete and total surrender by Ukraine. So he has put tactics against Canada and then he's doing a fake deal with Putin to attack Ukraine is letting you see what's going on here then let's talk about the economy here and how the Trump regime is bragging that AI is replacing workers let's take our last quick break of the show but a reminder hit subscribe help us get to six million subscribers here we're getting close I think we can hit six million soon also subscribe to the audio might as touch podcast so wherever you get audio podcasts.

Potato head the sexy M&M like whatever they're talking about of the day they just try to rage bait their own followers constantly they constantly trying to rage bait them because they'd rather have them screaming about that stuff than yelling at them about what's in the Epstein files and yelling about them as to why things are so expensive yelling about them as to why their lives are getting worse under Donald Trump it's just their it's their ploy and for people who call themselves patriots and try to pretend like they love America they short always attack the things that I think make America great and they're constantly trying to tear down kind of the the institutions that have previously united us let's talk it's a good pivot to international news although I will say this as we pivot to international news I mean you have a congresswoman like congresswoman solazar from Florida who's a comes from a family that's Cuban refugees and she's the one who always talks about the dignity act and I have the dignity act and Donald Trump says that he's never gonna have ice go after people who are not criminals because of the dignity act and then like Trump's like I've never read the dignity act before in the way so we don't know what you're talking about and then she goes well when it comes to Venezuela absolutely Maria Maria could Machado is going to be is definitely going to be we're just give it a few more weeks we're going to have Machado the opposition leader is going to be installed and then like the Trump regime is like Machado is a bad person who's trying to destroy our national security and so and here you have congresswoman solazar saying the super balls the biggest game of America's most iconic sport it's a national moment to bring the whole country together and let's be honest it should not be a multicultural fair just pause there for a second she's Cuban and she represents a multicultural district of Cubans Venezuelan nations and and a group of other people who's telling the immigrant population Trump loves you and she's ranting about which should be a great moment for Americans especially people who speak Spanish she goes its audience is overwhelmingly English speaking and they deserve a halftime show they could understand and enjoy to have a fully Spanish language halftime show with no subtitles isn't inclusive it's exclusive in Miami we listen to Spanish music but we put America first unfortunately today like this is a deranged statement unfortunately today instead of talking about the great contributions Hispanics make to our country the legal ones and the undocumented we are debating how poorly this event missed them are a very big opportunity lost no salazar you're the person who's the boost debating with nobody you're just on state regime media talking about an issue that Americans actually aren't debating overwhelmingly this was a great show and you're missing the opportunity intentionally to talk about a cover up of a child sex trafficking ring and Americans getting screwed by this Trump regime because you're intentionally engaged in a cultural issue frankly against your own people in your district in order to distract from all of the things that people are really going through what a very big opportunity lost and then you have the audacity to mention the contributions of undocumented people while your furor is rounding up migrants undocumented and documented and stripping away people with tps documentation and throwing them into concentration camps and might i add not giving them habeas corpus petition rights interesting right that gilane maxwell invoking habeas corpus petitions after being found guilty of sex trafficking and actual human beings who have habeas corpus rights getting lost in the system as they rot in concentration camps like dilly and delaney and other ones throughout this country interesting how that works huh and while all of that's going on turning to international news for a second you had Donald trump earlier today attacking canana and saying that china will be taking away cananas stanley cups and they're taking away the right to play ice hockey that's what they call it in canana we like to play our ice hockey in canana trump is posting here that canana won't let a new bridge let me just read what he says as everyone knows the country of canana has treated the united states very unfairly for decades no one knows that now things are turning around and fast but imagine canana is building a massive bridge between ontario and michigan they own both the canana and united states side and of course built it with virtually no us content broccus ainobama stupidly gave them a waver so they could get around the bi-american act and not use any american products including our steel now the canadian government expects me as president of the united states to permit them to just take advantage of america what does the united states of america get absolutely nothing ontaria won't even put us spirits beverages and other alcoholic products on their shelves they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now on top of everything prime minister carney wants to make a deal with china which will eat canana alive we will just get the leftovers i don't think so the first thing china will do is terminate all isaki being played in canana and permanently eliminate the stanley cup the tariffs canana charges are dairy products have for many years been unacceptable putting our farmers at great financial risk i will not allow this bridge to open until the united states is fully compensated for everything we have given them and also importantly canana treats the united states with the fairness and respect we deserve we will start negotiations immediately with all that we have given them we should own perhaps at least one half of this asset the revenues generated because the u.s market will be astronomical thank you for your attention to this matter he's a predator he is a predator just like putin and these are the putin tactics right here and as josh windgrove says it's difficult to boil down the bridge saga discuss for years by officials and lawmakers of every major party in both countries in part to make sure the continents top trade corridor wasn't beholden to a single privately owned bridge the u.s. would insplit the cost canana fronted it and is going to be repaid by tolls name for gordy how hockey legend and canadian born Detroit redwing star as a big nod as you can imagine to the country's joint history and now here's what non-altrump is doing these are the putin tactics that we discuss now speaking about the putin tactics i get a whole video on this our earlier this morning where as part of what was going on in the united arab emirates was in peace discussions by the way you had cushionar and wit cough purposefully not dressed in suits as they made the Ukrainian delegation wear suits i just think that that should be noted because it was an intentional effu to the Ukrainians because they said they wouldn't have discussions with the Ukrainians unless the Ukrainians dressed up and then wit cough wore like a jumpsuit and and cushionar wore like a regular sweater or whatever i mean it's what comes kind of like a he's got like a deep v yeah it looks like he's like one of the sopranos like character like it looks like a soprano and no undershirt no undershirt like soprano gold chain like what the hell are we even doing here and what was really going down here with zalinsky uncovered is that this was part of the plan between putin and trump to get you crain to fully surrender the us demanded that regardless of any ceasefire that you crain agree to new elections and agree to a referendum of turning over Ukraine to russia in mayor june the latest and zalinsky has said if you want me to do a referendum there needs to be at least a 30 day or 60 day ceasefire how could we do elections if our people are getting killed and putin has refused anything not even a 30 day ceasefire to allow elections right and so what putin did do at ua is through this guy koreal demitry of who runs the sovereign wealth fund of russia he was the guy who met with wit cough and cushionar in Miami along with usha kov before right when the us started talking about making landry the governor of lewiziana the envoy to greenland and started talking about annex and greenland that happened when you had demitry of in Miami meeting with us individuals so then demitry of propose what's being called the demitry of package twelve trillion dollars of russia to donald trump russia's entire annual gdp is two trillion dollars so russia's told the us will give you twelve trillion but you got to have these elections in ukraine by may and we're not going to agree to a ceasefire and the us is delaying saying that we don't have the resources to give pack three missiles which are the new missiles that go into the patriot system the air defense that ukraine has the issue is when you get this us military gear you have to rely on us for maintenance and further equipment once you buy it so if you buy the f thirty-five you have to rely on the us department of defense for repairs and maintenance in parts which is why countries like can and are like why would we buy f thirty-five now and den marks are getting ready buying f thirty-five because if you buy the f thirty-five you're going to be beholden to the us for the life cycle of these planes and if trump wants to extort you he can just say i'm not giving you the parts that's what's happening in my opinion in ukraine right now while they try to force it by the way is this getting reported on anywhere else of the might as to like you would think this is a pretty big deal right that there's this twelve trillion dollar fake deal taking place and the us is trying to force this surrender on ukraine and it just doesn't get any attention anywhere and i find and i speak uh when i speak with senator Bernie Sanders about this a lot that the most important issues are off in the ones that are least discussed and i know front and center on american mines right now it's ai and data centers that's one of the top issues you know obviously health care um being able to afford homes affordability generally but this issue of ai and data centers destroying jobs is a massive issue that americans are horribly fearful of and it doesn't exactly help people's fears when you have people like donald trump's national economic advisor kevin has it go on tv and say basically well you know uh it is what it is you know there's you know job creation is going to lag but you know what can you do watch has it earlier today let's play this clip the open question really is uh what's going to happen to jobs as productivity goes up uh and i think that there's a chance that that job creation lags uh productivity skyrocket it's profit skyrocket ddp skyrocket uh but then all of a sudden like you were making 20 widgets and and you can make 20 widgets with a fewer person and then that person has to find a new job i i think that that kind of transition could happen here's has it again the other thing is that there's a pretty big decline in the labor force uh because uh illegal leave in the country and so the break even job number is quite a bit lower than it was uh under joe biden when there were people you know you know basically coming across the border uh willy nilly and so i think that you should expect slightly smaller job numbers that are consistent with i gdp growth right now and uh the one shouldn't panic if you see a sequence of numbers that are lower than you're used to because again population growth is going down uh and productivity growth is skyrocketing it's an unusual set of circumstances and let's see our non-college educated white voters and non-college educated voters who formed the backbone of trump's base are they buying this you know anything about donald trump you know that he built his two presidential victories um winning voters without a college degree well donald trump's base with non-college voters is absolutely collapsing what are we talking about here well why don't we just take a look voters without a college degree on donald trump look at this back in 2024 he won those voters over Kamala Harris by 14 points you come over to this side of the screen what's his net approval rating with him he is underwater by nine points that's a 23 point switcheroo with his base of non-college voters he is absolutely collapsing with the group of voters that help put him into the white house i'll show you one more on the economy how do people view trump on the economy let's play this staggering you know the economy used to be the win beneath donald trump's presidency wings and now it's his titanic because what are we talking about here well let's just take a look here trump's economic net approval one year in in term one hey yeah plus side of ledger plus eight points it was his best issue arguably but now it's one of his worst look at that way way down in the basement 18 points below water what is that john quickly somath was at a 26 point switcheroo in the wrong direction this is the type of number that democratic midterm dreams are made Brent jordie harry and then so silly before bread gives like a student i just want to i i i i i i like him i i'm gonna use the g word he's the goat man that guy cracks me up dude water talk i mean i just i love the whole stick i like people who at least pretend like his like his is their job just stick and he and he likes his job and i just respect the hell out of that sorry brecco he's committed to say this i'm not sure i agree with you but you're entitled to your opinion but he's certainly committed to that stick he knows that there's a lane for that stick there's a total lane and he's filling it he's he's definitely he's definitely committed to the bit but you see you know i think one of the things that you'll see an entying you know all these various topics together it's that donald trump is constantly trying to protect those people in the Epstein class whether it's you know from crimes that they may commit it or whether it's from any sort of economic effects you know he's trying to preserve their wealth he's trying to grow their wealth he's trying to make sure that there's rich as possible and he really doesn't care what regular people are going through he doesn't care if regular people are getting hurt by a i data centers and the water extraction that's a result of that or the power that's being used and the bills that are increasing because of he doesn't care at all as long as as Kevin Hassett said there with a smile productivity is going up even though all these people are losing their jobs isn't that so it's a great thing kind of unusual right but isn't that fantastic they are bragging about it and what you see donald trump doing is he is just doing things constantly to enrich those people in the Epstein class to enrich the billionaire class at the expense of the people who were previously as harry and didn't was saying those non-college educated trump voters and and just americans in general kind of working class americans and we see this especially as a result to clean energy this is like one of the kind of clearest examples that exist there because already as of this moment right now donald trump has already canceled or delayed enough projects that would account for power for more than 13 million homes across the united states and this is while everyone's bills are skyrocketing and you could tell me right now you know i'll look in the comments are your electricity bills up or are they down because i'm seeing already people are saying that your electricity bills are up and are going way up and i've heard this from so many people so why would donald trump cancel 335 clean energy projects delay them strip them of funding if those projects could actually help bring these bills well it's because trump is deliberately blocking them or slowing these federal approvals or piling on a red tape to get in the way of these projects to block these projects while he's making it easier for companies for oil gas and coal companies to operate did you guys see the new trump administration mascot and like this is beyond parity in fact i think i saw it on a parity on late night shows and when i saw this i thought this was a joke at first but they made a mascot named coley and i'm i have a picture up of coley right here to make coal accessible and make coal seem great and cool for all the american people to push coal on people i'm showing this this image of coley who they are spreading its little cartoon coal image who they put in pictures with other people in the trump administration but it's very clear what they're doing they're blocking all of this kind of clean energy policy all these various projects that actually they would actually bring down the cost of goods for people and help people and in many cases the jobs that come from these projects are actually primarily in red states and so in so many cases but donald trump doesn't care about that he'd rather enrich the oil and gas industry than actually help people lower prices also he could just destroy clean energy and it's all a part of this kind of protection racket that we've been seeing across all of these various topics that we've been speaking about today coley is something you would hear like out of like a south park episode it's like it is so the whole thing man i think i went a little too far in the last segment calling harryent in the go and maybe he's not the go but he's set he's definitely having a moment so let me just i want that back the south park character was tally i know that's yeah okay this this is a real post from secretary of the interior dug burgam mine baby mine donald trump made it a top priority for the interior to unleash big beautiful coal and we're leading the charge learn more about how we're advancing trump's american energy dominance with our new spokesperson coley mine baby mine mine baby mine by the way i'm just about a hundred percent sure too they made this image with a i just to make image of me and coal you know what i mean this is red this is some ridiculous things but you know this is as we said this is what the Epstein class does this is what these predators do these are horrible people these are horrible evil people who behave that way and i hope one of the themes that you see in this episode is that there's really not a lot of things that i've said which is i'm like here's the this is why you need to vote democrat right i'm i'm i'm i'm this is why you need a vote for the democratic candidate over the republican candidate i just want you to take all this information okay and i want you to take a step back and i truly want you to reflect on everything that we just share i want you to draw your own it's not for me frankly to tell you and i'm very i'm very resistant to even having the role that's why you need to vote this person or that person or that's why i don't like reporting on like the primary this person's beaten this person in the press person that's not really excited does it that's not what interests me about this show or about teaching about what about what i do what interests me is taking all this vast information out there simplifying it showing you the themes and then allowing you to make these decisions feeling empowered that's what to show to me is about more than anything else so let's do that you have the information share it you know tell me to share it you know and and make it with with coley share it with coley coley coley coley is the most ridiculous thing i've ever wanted thank everybody for watching we're grateful for you make sure you hit subscribe
