Some really horrifying news. Apparently Donald Trump has a predilection for nipples. Pop this up. Breaking horrifying. Epstein bombshell reveals that Trump allegedly had a predilection for nipples and abused one of the victims by aggressively flicking and sucking on them. Apologize for that, but we're gonna have to get through this and it gets so much worse. They looked incredibly painful as they were red and swollen and I remember wincing when I looked at them, epstein victim Sarah Ransom wrote in an email to a journalist, referring to a victim named Jen who Trump allegedly preyed on. Ransom claimed that Jen, who was a girl in Epstein's sex trafficking ring, had sex with Trump and he brutally abused her nipples. Ransom claimed to have seen the evidence firsthand on Jen's body. And the New York Times report reveals that Trump and senior Cabinet officials held meetings in the Situation Room over the administration's response to the Epstein files. There's no question right now that this is the biggest cover up of our lifetime. And there is no question right now that maga, MAGA supporters, MAGA politicians, anybody who still supports Trump right now supports child sex abuse and pedophilia. There is no other way around it. You Nobody gets to say, oh, I like the tax break anymore.

No, I completely agree because you read this article and what becomes clear straight from the Jump. No one in that room. Caroline Levitt with her Bible, Pam Bondi with her cross. Nobody gave one flying about the survivors. No one cared how this affected them. No one cared what was done to them. Nobody said, you know, if he's doing this to little girls and their nipples and we have an allegation of rape, maybe we have a problem. No, no, no, no, no. Nobody gave a shit about that. This was, how do we cover Trump's ass? And at the end of the day, the reason this is such a disaster is because in my opinion, he is guilty up to his eyeballs of sexually abusing little girls. I think the evidence makes that clear. And the fact that he continues to cover it up and have these meetings in the Situation Room, of all places, that, here's the deal, they don't even include Trump because his standard line is, it's a hoax, no one cares. I don't know what you're talking about. So it's so stunning that this, using the words of Hillary Clinton, bag of deplorables. They never once thought about the little girls that were sex trafficked and raped.

It just doesn't surprise me, it doesn't surprise me at all that they don't care about the victims. Because I always thought from the very beginning, anybody who voted for Trump the first time, anybody who voted for Trump the first time, with all of the evidence that was out there, grab him by the. And what a con man he was. I thought, yeah, these people are looking for the bad guy to have some sort of loophole. There is a moral rot, a moral degeneracy among the American populace. And J.D. vance wanted to release documents on nipples. Pop this up. The Vice President said he thought the President would be okay with releasing the nipple. Related documents arguing that Trump had been accused of worse. I think we should put it out. He said. It would cause people to say we're going further than we need to. Wiles quickly responded that the President would not, in fact, be okay with it. It was a point no one wanted to continue debating. One official would later describe it as surreal, as a surreal experience to be discussing nipples in the White House Situation Room. So here's what I want to say about J.D. vance's involvement in here and J.D. vance always being the one who is, as it pertains to Iran. No, I don't think we should go in the guy who is saying, yeah, let's release the nipples. It's to remember J.D. vance's role here and how he got to where he is. He rightfully Said Trump was America's Hitler and seemed to have some moral clarity just a few years ago regarding the man. And then J.D. vance went off to Peter Thiel's Queer Eye camp and makes 20, 25 million dollars, loses weight. Peter Thiel installs J.D. vance. And I always thought that all of these oligarchs, and I told Pumps this privately, they want a young heir and they are going to rat Trump from inside the executive branch and get him out of there because he's too, He. He's not reliable to deliver everything they want to do. He's so impulsive. And so you see that those machinations manifest in real time, that JD Vance is always leaking all of this stuff out, which is also why I think JD Vance is over here leaking Donald Trump is rat Vance. And who is J.D. vance's pimp? Peter Thiel. What did Peter do? Peter just packed all of his toys up and moved to Argentina because Ruth Ben Guillot was on the podcast about a month ago. She's an expert in fascism, authoritarianism, and she said, we saw Palantir release this insane manifesto, and her take on it was that their investment in JD Vance was backfiring because they were watching Trump rat him and they were entering into these manic episodes. And so I think we're going to see these oligarchs continue to freak out as their boy wonder, which imagine how stupid these oligarchs are that that's their boy wonder. J.D. vance, the easiest guy the Chinese have made. I mean, he's the easiest guy to make fun of on the planet, right? All these failed drag queen photos of him, him running at Disneyland, Riz. And so it just shows you that money can't make you smart pumps. What's your take on all that?
Political Commentator 2
I completely agree with you. I think JD Fans is the leak. I think he's trying to show that he wanted to get out ahead of this. He, he, he's tried to distance himself from Iran. He's tried to distance himself from the Epstein files. I also thought it was interesting in within the article, he says, you know, let me go to Joe Rogan. All I've talked to Rogan. I called him up on the phone and I'll talk to Joe Rogan, and, you know, I'll be able to handle the questioning and then I'll be able to talk about Trump's agenda and what he's doing for the American people. And I'm like, that is the biggest bunch of horseshit I have ever heard. And it also, when I read this article, I thought the exact same thing that you had said a long time ago. Like the, the billionaire class that put him in office is just like, what are we going to do? But I also found, I thought Susie Wiles probably leaked some of this too. And here's why. When you go back to the Vanity Fair article, she was talking about J.D. vance as a conspiracy theorist. And then J.D. vance comes out and says, well, I only believe in real conspiracies. And then in this article, you also see that Susie Wiles is painting him as a conspiracy theorist. So to me, it's like you've got these two people that hate each other's guts that are both, like, she's trying to say he's a conspiracy theorist, don't believe it. And he's coming out and saying, let's just release the whole thing. So I just, I found that dynamic interesting in the article.
Political Commentator 1
I think they both are well aware, like she is, she is in the Trump camp. And everybody in the Trump camp knows that J.D. vance was a. We will give you money. We will spike the Washington Post. We will get all of the oligarchs behind you, all of us, but you have to have this, this guy in. So Trump facing prison and Jack Smith and all this is like, okay, I'll take J.D. vance. And he, Trump doesn't like that. And in the rat, and J.D. vance is unlikable. And so the rat is. I mean, J.D. vance doesn't. Can't even stand up for his wife. Like he sides with young Republican Nazis. I mean, he's so unlikable. More on JD Vance, he tried to set up an interview with Tucker and Ghislaine. Pop this up. JD Vance tried to set up a Tucker Carlson interview with Ghislaine Maxwell and hope she would downplay Trump's Epstein ties on Carlson's show. Vance's intention was that Maxwell say that Trump had nothing to do with Epstein. Which is like, to me, he's trying to rat. Like, this is like, I've said this once and I'll say it again. They do these glazing cabinet meeting. I love working with you. It's the honor of my life. The golden era, yak, yak, blah, blah. These are the most toxic people, the worst people. Our country's worst foot forward at the negotiating table. They are so horrible to themselves, personally, to their family members. Imagine how they treat each other. You know, it is just the most toxic work environment ever. And so I think everybody's trying to rap everybody. And then here's another Little tidbit. Trump called Rupert Murdoch. Pop this up. Kyle Griffin is reporting. Bombshell from Haberman and Swan. Trump wanted the Epstein issue buried and snapped at anyone who mentioned it. In the days before the Wall Street Journal published that Epstein birthday book scoop, Trump tried to quash the story by calling Rupert Murdoch News Corp's chief executive and the Journal's editor in chief. He failed. And so I wonder if some of this stuff is like power plays like Rupert's like, look, you may be president, but we still control you. We still control your cult. You don't really control it, big guy. There has to be this, this play because Rupert Murdoch and Fox News. Rupert Murdoch's a million years old, but Fox News is going to outlive MAGA and Fox News originally after January 6 was critical of Trump and then they turned and then the cult started following Rupert Murdoch at any point could start Trump his Elaine duck. They could start pivoting on him and tank the cult support. Of course Trump will, you know, hissy fit. Newsmac might purge. But if they went at it long enough because a lot of people are addicted to Fox News. They're addicted to the personalities they have parasocial relationships with. Jesse Waters, which tells you the cancer we have in the country. So my question for you Pumps is do you think a lot of this like Rupert Murdoch releasing that and J.D. vance trying to flex his muscle in these meetings is like, well, all of my powerful oligarchs support me. And Rupert Murdoch's like, listen up MFer, I'm the boss of you. You might, you may live in the White House momentarily, but my empire will outlive yours. That's way it feels to me a little bit.
Political Commentator 2
No, I completely agree. And here's the thing. Why isn't Rupert Murdoch doing this? Well, it's because after Fox News was the first to call Arizona for Biden, his, his ratings tanked over Fox. But I'm with you. If they would slowly start doing this,
Small Business Owner Advertiser
the cult would follow.
Political Commentator 2
The cult would all of a sudden say and they have been somewhat critical of this war in Iran. But if they would start going hard on this Epstein files. Because here's the thing. When I, when I see this overarching scene in the situation, right, I think and I give Rupert Murdoch credit for he has created an organization. He controls so much of the media. So he is at least media savvy. And I look at this group in this situation group and I think these are the biggest collection of absolute dumbasses that I have ever seen. The shit they were saying, and their damage control policies were so obscenely ridiculous that you and I together could come up with better plans. So I just don't think it would be that hard for Rupert Murdoch because these people are just absolutely morons. Like that's what I was like, okay, so we're in a war and this is the brain trust. Like that's fucking terrifying. So I, the question is, why doesn't Rupert Murdoch do that?
Political Commentator 1
That's because, because Rupert Murdoch is a piece of shit too, right? Because Rupert Murdoch and the oligarchs in the Supreme Court are all about building up an oligarchy and he is state sponsored media. I mean, Rupert Murdoch fits into this whole scenario because he's a, he's a prostitute as well. He doesn't care about the truth. He doesn't care about the United States. He doesn't care about working class Americans. He exploits them. He tells them not to go get Covid vaccines while everybody, the that works at Fox News in Manhattan got them. You know how many people unnecessarily are probably dead because they sat and listened to Fox News talk about all of this anti science shit and didn't get vaccinated? And then they get Covid and they're dead. I mean, he has blood on his hands. I mean these oligarchs, truly, their, their policies, their exploitation, they're killers. And that's, that's the through line with all of this. When people support, support exploitation, it breaks you like Gwyneth Paltrow, Rert Murdoch, J.D. vance, Jeff Bezos. Once you start saying, oh, it's okay to exploit these people and it's okay that these people die, that I'm fine with that, then you just start breaking and you break and you break and you break. And that's why the messages of like Zoran Mamdani and other people in the Democratic Party AOC that say, I am not leaving any group behind, I'm going to fight for everybody, then you can sleep at night. But when you're throwing a group of people under the bus, whether it be black Americans, immigrants, Palestinians, trans people, you make a little space in your brain and in your heart to dehumanize. And then once you do it, once you do it again and again, and for the oligarchs, you know, once you've exploited all your workers, like, oh, I make 100 million a year, my workers make minimum wage. Them, they can't unionize them, they can't ask for a raise, but I'm going to get a raise and Then you just keep doing it and there's a breakage. And that's the one of the symptoms of American capitalism that we haven't reconciled, where we have kind of rubber stamped that type of exploitation. So much so that a lot of people in the electorate that are exploited admire the exploitation. And that's really the crazy part. One final tidbit here before we go out. Bill Gates testified that Epstein tried to blackmail him. Pop this up. Bill Gates told Congress that Jeffrey Epstein tried to leverage the tech giants extramarital affairs against him. And so we know this. Why was Jeffrey Epstein arranging for all of these young girls to be raped? And the cameras and the emails, why did he have all of these documentation? Because he was blackmailing people. I mean, that's what we have to deduce from this. All right, this is some really depressing, disturbing stuff. But make sure you pre order my book. It's called Not Today Fascist, which I'm going to dedicate today to. I just. Donald Trump, he fascist. That's what he is. So you can get it right below in the show notes. It's linked. And we will be back later with more news.
