– Host 2, 05:06

Culture of Cover-up: Politics, Law Enforcement, and Media

• The hosts vent frustration at both Republican and Democratic departments of justice, implicating Merrick Garland and Biden’s DOJ in ongoing cover-up and inertia—even after Trump left office.

DOJ Inaction, Power & Justice (Thomas Massie & James Talarico Segments)

  • “But I haven’t seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States from this Department of Justice.” (Thomas Massie, 11:00)

Hosts’ Take

• Strongly assert that the investigation into the survivor’s claims stopped because the allegations were true and powerful people intervened.

  • “It’s obvious he didn’t hang himself. … Both Democratic DOJs and Republican DOJs let rich people off the hook.” (Host 2, 11:27–12:27)

• Hosts link this impunity to the handling of January 6th and broader government lawlessness.

  • “Right now, the Oval Office is a crime syndicate. We do not have a federal government. It is a mafia style crime boss situation.” (Host 2, 13:30)

• Both race and wealth are discussed as powerful shields from prosecution.

  • “If January Sixers were black, they would have been shot … But it’s first and foremost about money.” (Host 2, 14:05)

James Talarico’s Segment (15:02)

• Talarico calls for full transparency and accountability:

  • “The American people deserve to know the whole truth about Jeffrey Epstein and every single powerful person who enabled him. Every name, every flight log, every cover up, all of it. … If there is a Democrat on that list, I will be the first to call for their prosecution.” (James Talarico, 15:02)

• Host 2 responds with cynicism and anger: “the person committing the crimes against children happens to be the aforementioned President of the United States.” (Host 2, 16:02)

---

Side Discussion: Texas Democratic Primary (Talarico vs. Jasmine Crockett)

• The hosts briefly debate which candidate would fare better after Talarico and Jasmine Crockett are forced to run against each other due to gerrymandering.

  • “I think sometimes the Democratic Party gets too sanctimonious. I don’t have a problem with her muddying him up … it’s politics. It’s a blood sport.” (Host 2, 17:09)

Transcript

[Host 1]

Why have I asked my electrician I found on Angie.com to bury my pet hamster? I was so moved by how carefully he buried my electrical wires. I knew I could trust him to bury my sweet nibbles after his untimely end. This is very strange, Angie. The one you trust to find the ones you trust. Find pros for all your home [e-mail].

[Host 2]

The Epstein case is not going anywhere. Not on our watch. Not here at IHIP News npr. We've discussed this in some previous episodes but we're going to deep dive into it right now. NPR has uncovered that Pam Bondi and her FBI and her DOJ Cash Patel cash money cross eyed lunatic going stolen valor to the Olympics. He and Pam scrubbed the files of evidence under oath, evidence against dementia ridden dipshit Donald Trump. Pop this up.

[Host 1]

We have a survivor that made serious allegations against the President. Clearly the FBI participated in some interviews and discussions with this survivor. When looking at the DOJ documents there is a manifest or a list of documents and interviews that this survivor participated in and that should be made available to the Congress as part of the document file search. Some of those documents and interviews are in are given. We have access to but there's a series of documents and it would appear to be possible interviews that the FBI conducted with the survivor that are actually missing that we don't have access to. And to remind the public I am viewing, we are viewing unredacted documents that the DOJ has in their possession. I'm very aware of the survivor and why these documents are missing is a critical question right now for the doj.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Is it a question? I know exactly why they haven't been released. I don't find it questionable at all. It is because Donald Trump is in these files. The allegations are horrific and they're covering it up. It is Corruption 101. He, he's, it's. The allegations are clear. She was interviewed, this victim was interviewed at least three times in a short period of time. If they were unsubstantiated and without any ability, they thought this woman is a nut. She is not credible. They would have, you know, Jewish face, laser style, they would have put it in the file. But they didn't. And that it's not a question to me it's a cover up.

[Host 2]

Okay, so what is in these missing files? What do they allege pop this up

[Guest Expert]

about the allegations because the FBI discussed them between and amongst themselves on documents that have been released in 2025. And specifically what the FBI says is that this woman says that she was forced to perform oral sex on the President when she was around 13 years old. And that subsequent or during that same episode, the President hit her or slapped her in the face. We don't know where exactly she says that occurs. An FBI document reflects that. She says this happened in New Jersey. We don't know who was with her, how she met the President. None of those details are readily apparent from the FBI internal documents stating this. And we don't know ultimately whether the FBI found her credible or not. What we do have is an index of the prior statements that they obtained from her. And in rapid succession, we can see that they interviewed her four times between July and October of 2019. And then it abruptly stopped, and we don't know why.

[Host 2]

Who was president in 2019? Oh, yeah, it was Donald Trump. That's why it abruptly stopped, because Bill Barr was like, listen, you've got to stop interviewing her. And I think that this whole Jeffrey Epstein thing, you, you think about when you hear about horrible, the sex crimes with the Catholic Church, how did people go along with this? How did it get this far? How did it go on? How did it go on? The same thing applies here. And so I expect anybody that works for Donald Trump to be morally corrupt. He is an adjudicated rapist. We all heard the grab him by the pissy. We've all heard how he said he would date and have sex with his daughter. Really inappropriate, sexually charged things about his own daughter. And so it's, it's not a surprise that Pam Bondi or Cash Patel, that these people don't care about this stuff. Because if you're going to go work for Donald Trump and you don't have any moral clarity that he's a bad guy and he's a con man and a liar, a blowhard, and just obnoxious as fuck to be around. So, you know, these people are not going to be. But what concerns me here is these triple Trumpers out in America that have daughters, that have women in their lives. And there isn't this pause on this because for me, I'm a Democrat, I vote for Democratic leaders. If a Democrat is in this, I want it exposed, I want it brought into the light. I don't care about politics when it comes to pertains to raping children, forcing children to perform oral sex on gross old men, and then getting beat up about it. These are serious allegations that involve serious investigations. And my anger about the Epstein files is bipartisan. I'm pissed at Joe Biden's FBI and doj, and I'm pissed obviously at everything to do with Donald Trump. But to know that Merrick Garland had this and sat on this and didn't open this back up and you see newspapers like the New York Times, San Wash this story and say the Epstein files shouldn't be released. The mass cover up from media to academia to oligarchs to Democrats to Republicans to people in the doj, law enforcement is so depraved. It is so unbelievable. And we have to keep the light on this because this is one of the worst political scandals. It involves obviously child rape, espionage, blackmail. And here's the thing. I've seen these images of all of these like sex toys, rough style sex toys. These are kids, these are girls. So for the people that have daughters that, that see this and don't have a pause about anybody touching anything to do with Trump, anybody. Triple trumping. To me, these people have to be so broken. I mean like Nazi Germany style broken. I equate it the same way.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Absolutely. And I look at just how many people you mentioned the Catholic Church and I think there is a through line through this. It is, we are going to pray about it, but we are not going to hold anybody accountable. We're going to forgive and then we're going to brush it under the, the wreck. There is no accountability. All of the religion, the large religions and I'm sure small too, but just off the top of my head, Southern Baptist, Nazarene, Mormon Catholics, there's so much crime against children, sexual crime against children. And these institutions continue to go on because they're able to say to themselves, well, they're forgiven and I can distance myself in my mind and compartmentalize it and then it doesn't exist.

[Host 2]

I agree with the church stuff, but a lot of this Epstein stuff, these people aren't religious freaks. None of, there's, there's a void.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Triple Trumpers are.

[Host 2]

The triple Trumpers that, yeah, support Trump are. But, but the, the people that worked at the FBI, the people at Merrick Garland's doj, these are not religious fanatics. These are people who had an obligation to seek out the truth. And it's just, it's so depraved. But we know that Trump has no problem being with girls because we can hear it in his own voice. Here, play the clip.

[Host 1]

Thing about being Donald Trump right now.

[Donald Trump (clip)]

Well, other than the fact I'm married, okay. Right, but. And I'm very happily married. I have a great wife, but if I weren't married, I'd Be able to get all of the girls I want, except for possibly Robin. Do you think you could now be

[Host 1]

banging 24 year olds?

[Donald Trump (clip)]

Oh, absolutely.

[Host 2]

Would you do it?

[Donald Trump (clip)]

I have no problem.

[Host 2]

Yeah. Do you have an age limit or would you?

[Donald Trump (clip)]

No, no, I have no age. I mean, I have an age. I don't want to be like upper bracket Ye Foley with, you know, 12 year olds.

[Host 1]

Can I make a prediction for you?

[Donald Trump (clip)]

Yes.

[Host 1]

I say you have one more marriage in you.

[Host 2]

Yeah.

[Donald Trump (clip)]

Well, that's nice. I'm sure Melania will love to hear 12.

[Host 2]

I mean, that's a. That's insane. I mean, and the fact that when you get into all of this Jeffrey Epstein stuff and you see the pictures of the, the girls and their faces are boxed out, it's, it's a. It disturbs you. It shakes you on a level to know that these girls were around sexual predators like this and there was a whole slew of them. The conspiracy theory about all of this is true. And these men trafficked young girls and emailed about young girls. That little one was naughty, etc. Etc. And it was. They did all of this with such ease. Emailing after he was a convicted felon. That's what bothers me so much about these dumps is the timestamp on it. Yeah, the timestamp. After everybody knows what he is and what he has done. And the majority of these people have fuck you money and they race to go hang out with this freak show pedophile. The moral rot in that is just breathtaking.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

It is.

[Co-host/Commentator]

And you look at the people that not only are, they might, may or may not be participating, but they're begging to be around it. You see emails, I need a fix. Like they loved being around him. And we heard from Howard Lutnick. Remember he did an interview about how gross it was and how everybody knew he had massage tables in every room. How disturbed he was. Then he ran back with his kids, had a six year business relationship after he knew all this. They knew about it or participated in it because it was everywhere. I of course, went down the rabbit hole. But everywhere he went, like when he went to Harvard to. And I don't know that it was Larry Summers, but it was something about Harvard or mit. He went to one of these institutions. He has a gaggle of young girls with him. It's not like he just shows up. He was not hiding it.

[Host 2]

All right, moving along. Here's Thomas Massie talking about arrests by DOJ. Play the clip.

[Host 1]

Relations in the Epstein files. Over 3 million documents. Describing horrible things, describing unspeakable things, much of it redacted. Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide. But I haven't seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States from this Department of Justice.

[Host 2]

I mean, the thing is, here's, here's probably what happened in that 2019. The interview stopped with this girl because she's telling the truth and Bill Barr stopped it and they got Jeffrey Epstein in jail and Trump's DOJ killed him. I mean, I don't think that is a conspiracy theory. I don't think that's very difficult to piece that together. It's obvious he didn't hang himself. I mean, it's just, just the gravity was not there. The scale of the ceiling, it was not there. And then it goes to Joe Biden's DOJ and Merrick Garland. And the through line for me with this, which is different from the Catholic Church, is this Democratic dojs and Republican dojs let rich people off the hook.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Absolutely.

[Host 2]

Because when you get to January6, as depraved and horrific as it was, seeing all of those rednecks storm the Capitol and beat up cops and take a shit and put on their, you know, bullhorn outfits and parade around like nuts, these people are cult members that are wildly indoctrinated, live out in the Boony Docks, and their whole culture is guns, God and Trump. That's it. And so it was really easy to rile up these rubes. It was super easy to serve the Kool Aid. They didn't pay for their way to January 6th. Rich people organized that. Rich people paid for that. The wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was knee deep on that thing. And all of the elites that went and sent this mob who built a gallow to hang Mike Pence, a white Republican, Christian male, Merrick Garland did nothing, did nothing about it. And Jack Smith had it by the rights. And, and Donald Trump admitted Jack Smith had him. And it is just unbelievable to me how inept Biden's DOJ was. And it is complete miscarriage of justice that incubated all of this fascism, all of this. And right now, the Oval Office is a crime syndicate. We do not have a federal government. It is a mafia style crime boss situation. There. There's nothing about having a government that we have right now.

[Co-host/Commentator]

No, nothing. And I look at it and I think, okay, if this were a collection of black men that were doing this, would DOJ prosecute? Or would it just be, oh, well, we're. It's under Review. We're looking at it.

[Host 2]

Well, I mean, I think it would depend on how rich the black men were.

[Co-host/Commentator]

So you think it's about money, too?

[Host 2]

First and foremost, money. I think, I do think if January Sixers were black, they would have been shot by law enforcement. I don't think there's any question this country has no problem shooting black people. But look at Clarence Thomas. If you're a black man that kisses the ass of white racists, you can fit in fine. Look at Cash Patel. He doesn't have a problem. But the minute, if, if Clarence Thomas were to say something that he thinks Trump has gone too far, all the people that support him would have no problem dropping the N word to him in a heartbeat. You think if Cash Patel said I need to resign at the FBI because they're asking me do illegal things, that MAGA wouldn't immediately point out the color of his skin? Absolutely. So I, I, I, I do think a lot of this has first and foremost to do with money. I agree. All right, and then next up we have James Talarico on pedophilia and powerful people. Play the clip.

[James Talarico]

Did pedophilia become a partisan issue? The, the American people deserve to know the whole truth about Jeffrey Epstein and every single powerful person who enabled him. Every name, every flight log, every cover up, all of it. The White House and Congressional Republicans are hiding the Epstein files. Why? These are the same politicians who call librarians groomers, who call their political opponents pedophiles. And, and to be clear, if there is a Democrat on that list, I will be the first to call for their prosecution. Because if there's one thing we should all be able to agree on, Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and progressives, it's that no one, including the President of the United States, should be able to cover up crimes against children.

[Host 2]

You know, the problem is, Mr. Talarico, the person committing the crimes against children happens to be the aforementioned President of the United States. And so what do you think about Talaria? Are you Talarico or Crockett?

[Co-host/Commentator]

You know, I love Jasmine. I do. I wish they weren't, here's my thing. I'm, I wish they weren't primaring against each other. I really do. I don't think you can go wrong either way. I, my gut is that Talarico would probably stand a better chance in the general, but I just, I'm making assumption about Texas voters because Ted Cruz is a senator, so I don't know. What do you think?

[Host 2]

You know, I think that they both would end up voting the same way if they were in the Senate. I, I don't like. I think there has been some critiques of Jasmine that are laced in some racism.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Of course there are.

[Host 2]

That I don't like at all. And the, it makes me want to just jump in and really support her. And then she has played this primary against Talarico and she's been really aggressive. And then people are like, oh, she's, look at this, she's being too aggressive. And I'm like, quit, please. It's a primary. She wants to muddy it up. Muddy it up. If he ends up winning, it'll make him a stronger candidate. If she ends up winning, then it's like, okay, this is the formula that wins. I think sometimes the Democratic Party gets too sanctimonious. I don't have a problem with her muddying him up a bit if that's. I mean, it's politics. It's a blood sport. Right? That's what you get into. So he's a little too religious for my taste. For my personal taste, it's always talking about quoting, quoting scripture and all of this stuff. But that might be something that helps these Christians reminds them. But when I think about the Christians that I know that are triple trumpers, they're cooked. Like, Talarico is not going to go, hey, FYI, Jesus was not into all of this. And they're going to go, oh, okay, light bulb moment. Right? So, I mean, I don't know. I, I don't know. May the best person win. I don't like the way Jasmine has been treated. I think there's been a lot of piling on to that woman. And I think that people always tend to pile on black women. And I don't like that.

[Co-host/Commentator]

No, I agree with you. She has, she has been unfairly treated since jump and it's just going to be a shame to lose her in the house because they've gerrymandered her district. So it's just a shame for her not to be in the house.
