All right, the Epstein files are very pesky serious. The President and his administration are cankles deep in the epicenter of them. And Lev Parnas has some fish fascinating analysis that I want to go over with you. I'll pop this up Everyone is wondering why Trump and Cohen are back together. This is Michael Cohen, the former fixer who then testified against Donald Trump and then went on an anti maga rant for three or four years and now is back in Donald Trump's good graces. Why? Le Paris goes on to say the answer is simple. Katie Johnson and the Epstein Files for the past eight months, Michael Cohen, 212, has denied ever hearing the Epstein name while he was working for Donald Trump. Here is an excerpt from Ronan Farrow's book Catch and Kill, but one additional curiosity was never made public. According to several AMI employees and one senior associate of Trump's Pecker this is a guy who owned the National Inquirer who was at the time in close contact with Trump, learned of the lawsuit shortly after it was filed. After that, Howard was on the phone with Cohen, Trump's personal attorney, assuring him that they would track down the woman with the rape allegation and see what they could do about her. Dylan was on the phone with Cohen at all hours about it, one of the AMI employees recalled. It became a top priority with Cohen monitoring the situation. Howard dispatched an AMI reporter to the address associated with one of the initial court filings, but the reporter found only a foreclosed home in the sleepy desert community of 29 Palms, California. A neighbor said that no one had been there since the previous fall. The secret that Trump and Cohen will take to their grave and I want to point out that Catch and Kill Ronan Farrow has not been sued. This reporting is rock solid. So that only leads logical, critical, critically thinking people that Michael Cohen is lying And Trump and Michael Cohen find their way back together because they both lied, lie, and they both put self preservation before everything else. And that's what Michael Cohen's redemption tour was about, self preservation.
C
Well, and also according to Michael Cohen, he was the first political prisoner of the Trump regime because Trump put him in jail in federal prison. And he has been trying to fight that. But at the end of the day, birds of a feather flock together. It is impossible to believe that somebody could work for 10 years side by side with Trump being his fixer. And by his own admission, wanting approval from Trump and wanting to be kept on the inner circle and not do shady shit, not demean women, and not do the type of things that Trump asks his loyalists to do all day, every day, including commit crimes.
B
And so, exclusively to this claim by Lev Parnas, they're talking about Katie Johnson. This is the underage girl that alleges in FBI files in Epstein in the whole case, that she was sexually assaulted by Donald Trump when she was, I believe, 13 years old. And this goes along the the way both catch and kill. And Lev Parnas's analysis goes along with the way we know these two operate, Cohen and Trump and Pecker in that regard. They catch and kill the stories, pay people off so they will disappear forever. So now I think we all know exactly why Michael Cohen has gone from redemption to her back to Donald Trump. Because Donald Trump needs him to keep quiet about this. And he knows that Michael Cohen will put his self preservation first. And if there somebody else were president right now, Donald Trump would, I mean, Michael Cohen would flip on Trump on a dime, just like he did when Biden was president. But these type of men don't put what's right, don't put the truth, don't put the facts first. They put their own greasy, slimy survival. And in the interest of full disclosure, when Michael Cohen was on his MAGA bashing tour, we had him as a guest on the podcast. But since his flip back around and Midas touch, let him go. We've had no communication with him and do not intend to do. But I think that that analysis and putting all of that together by Lev Parnas is spot on. Moving along, Cash Patel is taking on the role of diplomat. Because when I see Cash Patel, you know, smashing beer cans and, you know, tweeting about Alexis, his girlfriend, that is this incredible patriot and country music sensation, I think, yeah, he's our best foot forward. Let's send him to go negotiate with the Russians. Pop this up. FBI Director Patel is planning to go to Moscow and st. Petersburg in October. According to the U. S. Official familiar with the travel plans, Patel is scheduled to Visit Russia on October 14th and 15th, first stopping in Moscow, then st. Petersburg. His host is likely to be the fsb, the Russian security service that is heir to the soviet era kgb, the official said. So here's I can just go ahead. Spoiler alert. The Russians will dog walk the out of cash Patel. I already jumped forward to give you the headline, just like they did Wyckoff, just like they do Donald Trump, because the MAGA men are our worst foot forward.
C
You know, I, when I saw this report, I was like, so, so Cash Patel, who is a podcaster now in charge of the FBI by all accounts is completely incompetent in enriching himself with the FBI's resources. Is he going to train with, with the Russian security agency? I mean, what is the purpose of this? And I, I could not wrap my head around during the cold war and all of these things that it would be put out into the universe that Cash patel is going to meet with the Russian security service and everything, everything's just a new day at the office. I just. This is a really not shocking, but kind of like what in the literal moment of this administration and there's like 10 every day, but this is definitely one.
B
Obviously, it's been widely suggested and reported that Donald Trump is somehow compromised by Vladimir Putin. It's further obvious to, I would say a sixth grader, that the Russians know how to manipulate these incompetent American men. And this is incredibly dangerous. This comes from the political party that talks about the troops, that talks about national security, that talks about Russia being our adversary. And time and time again, they go and bend the knee to a murderer, a homicidal maniac, which is Vladimir Putin. And why is that? Why do they constantly bend the knee to Vladimir Putin? Well, we can opine that perhaps they do have compromising information on Trump and that that bribe, that emotional blackmail trickles down to everybody in the cabinet because Trump is surrounded by submissive wives and one of his wives is Cash Patel. Furthermore, this is just the way Putin has been humiliating the United States of America on the global stage. Will the Republicans in Congress stand up and do anything about this? No, they will not. Because they too are soft. These are not tough guys. These people are soft and they love being on the receiving end of the humiliation rituals, both exacted upon them by their boss, Donald Trump and his boss, Vladimir Putin, or his other boss, Benjamin Netanyahu. Speaking of submissive Wives. We have Mark Wayne Mullen, senator, booster box, secretary, booster box, who's so little he has to stand up on a box to do gender affirming. Care to so people can see him over the podium. And he's on Fox News taking a victory lap over the World cup. Play the clip. Mr. Secretary, congratulations. I spoke to you seven weeks ago at the outset of the World Cup. We have now completed the World cup. And the conversation that you and I had some seven weeks ago is about the security measures put in place, extraordinary security measures. And we had very candid conversations about the threats that could be present and what amounted to a gigantic event, something like 78 Super Bowls in 39 days. And as far as we can tell, the no major incident around the World Cup. It was amazing. 60 or 78 Super Bowls in 38 days. 11 cities just in the US plus 13 and Mexico and 13 in Canada without one major incident, in fact. So it's just incredible to me that these people do their jobs the bare minimum and here they are out taking credit for all of this stuff. Mark Wayne Mullen is a complete hypocritical, pathological liar. He is a liar to his core. If you go onto his Twitter feed on Sundays, he drops Bible verses just, you know, randomly, arbitrarily, like I'm this big Christian guy. Yet he is a part of the American force that is denying people due process and arbitrarily murdering people for no reason whatsoever other than the people who want to go work for Mark Wayne Mullen and Donald Trump are people that are low t that are trying to get juiced up on their guns and their badge again. These MAGA men are soft, submissive and America's worst foot forward. I completely agree.
C
The one thing that Kristi Noem kept saying while she was Secretary of Homeland Security is we're going to go in to these arenas during the World cup and we're going to do ice raids that did not happen. And I'm sure Stephen Miller was crying about that. But here's the thing. I keep hearing all of these, you know, congratulations, Mark Mullen. Here's the thing, these security, the security plan had to be in place when the United States was awarded the World cup years and years ago. This is somebody, in my opinion, that took over security that had already been planned by competent people and he didn't it up, which is the bare minimum. That's what it is like. No congratulations needed. He just didn't it up.
B
But this is a lesson to Democrats, to be honest. They do a really good job Republicans of doing exactly what they're supposed to do or doing the bare minimum, in your words, which I agree with you. And then they go and market it and they go and take victory laps. And Zoron does this really well in New York. He institutes a policy and then he goes and he talks about it. He has press conferences, he goes on podcasts so that people know that the political party that they like is working for them. So as much as I hate Mark Wayne Mullen and as much as I hate Cash Patel, it's smart politics, right, to go and take these victory tours. And if you think about all of the policy accomplishments of Joe Biden, they were great. He knew how to govern, but he never hardly did the victory tours on these. And it was such a gaping hole that during the infrastructure passage, a lot of these Republicans voted against it. And then when the business rolled into their towns to fix a road, to fix a bridge, to do infrastructure work, the very Republican that voted against it is being photographed on the job sites like Bringing Jobs to South Carolina. I think, you know, Nancy Mace did that. And so there is a smart level of politics to this. Even though I hate them, even though I hate giving them credit, there is something astute about this. I don't know about you guys, but I'm tortured with this constant trying to find time to eat. Do I have time to get something healthy or do I have to get something fast? That's not healthy.

and speaking of somebody who is absolutely not astute at all untreated raging alcoholic in my opinion, Pete Heath is Covering up the Real Toll of the Iran War at the Pentagon, pop this up. Jennifer Jacobs is reporting. Nearly 100 U.S. service members have been injured in Iranian attacks on multiple bases in the Middle east this month, US Officials told me some suffered traumatic br brain injuries. Most have already returned to duty, two of the officials said. Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed the numbers in a statement to CBS. While nearly 100 service members were deemed to have some degree of injury since July 7, 2026, 96% have returned to duty. They are determined to get back in the fight. The vast majority of injuries experienced were minor concussions. Further updates will be posted on the Defense Casualty Analysis System. God is good, Parnell said. So a couple of things here. Number one, if these injuries were so minor, why were they covered up initially? And number two, why are you throwing in God is good when you're talking about a government that's supposed to be secular and you your Pentagon because of Its incompetence killed 160 something Iranian school girls. We have more US troops being killed. We don't even know how many Iranians have been killed. So sp me the Christian signaling at the end of you trying to cover up for your lying and your incompetence by trying to tell the rubes that still support you God is good. There is nothing good about this. There is nothing good about the way the Pentagon has handled the Iran war. It has all been done at the behest of a homicidal genocidal war criminal named Benjamin Netanyahu who puts shot collar on Donald Trump and dog walks him. And then you have Pete hexes the softest clearly low t otherwise he wouldn't be talking about it all the time. Can't even do a bench press and tries to talk about physical fitness all the time. Who doesn't know come here from Sikum, this guy is dumber than a box of hot rocks and here they are busted bearing information that should have been
C
made
B
to the public. And then he tries to Christian signal. And I call on the Americans in the United States that are big Christians that support this. The reason that Christianity is not growing anymore is because of like, this is because we see people using their faith to justify doing incredibly immoral things like killing people, like killing little girls. And I know you all quantify lives, an Iranian life isn't as important as an American life, etc. Etc. But this is just humiliating, embarrassing. And I'm so tired of all the Christian signaling from these morally bankrupt soft men. I completely agree.
C
I'm sick to death of it. This, this is what bothers me about this statement from this, you know, spokesperson for the Pentagon. They have been lying and saying the reports coming out about the school girl bombing, yet they completely took out any investigation in the Pentagon, the department that would investigated civilian casualties in, you know, confrontations. Okay, that's one. Number two, we have heard for months that the Pentagon is covering up the damage that has been done to United States military bases overseas. That's been confirmed by a gazillion reporters. Then you see reports that troops have been hurt way worse than what they're telling us. And so they refer us to some data bank that they've set up. And in my head I'm thinking, you are going to lie. That is what you're going to do. There's no truth to be told because what we're going to do is we're going to say, oh, we've obliterated their nuclear or warheads which never existed, and then we re obliterated their capability in a war. Yet despite the fact that that's been happening for over a year, in the last six months, that's been the excuse to continue to do this despite zero plan and zero exit strategy. So forgive me if I have no confidence in what is coming out of the Pentagon because time and time again it has been shown that they are covering up or straight up lying about what's going on over there.
B
I mean, I think that they absolutely are and they are lying to the American public. Everything Trump touches is trickle down incompetence. Every single bit of it, his entire life. And now because these Republicans have no balls, no courage, no integrity, no decency to stand up for the Constitution in the country they claim they allegedly love, they would rather blindly serve and be obedient like a submissive trad wife to Donald Trump, a who wears a full face of makeup every single day, is a liar, a crook, and just an overall piece of all right, that's all we have.
