Foreign rapist and convicted felon. President Donald Trump is in hot water. What I predict to be the very first in the bombs dropped in the Epstein case was dropped the evening of July 17th by the Wall Street Journal. And here it is. Jeffrey Epstein's friends sent him a body letter, a 50th to include in a 50th birthday album. One was done by Donald Trump and it says like the others in the album, it contains several lines of typewritten text. This is important. Framed by the outline of a naked woman, which to appears to be hand drawn with a heavy marker. Trump famously uses a Sharpie. A pair of small arc denotes the woman's breasts in the future president signature is squiggly Donald below her waist, mimicking pubic hair. The letter concludes happy birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret. Okay, what other secret did Donald Trump know and Jeffrey Epstein know at the time of his 50th birthday birthday party? It was about young girls. Because in an article for the a profile on Jeffrey Epstein, Trump said he loves beautiful women. He likes them on the young side. He knew he was in it up to his eyeballs. The people are coming out of the woodwork to talk about their close association. Sean Spicer said on a podcast, you know, that's his former press secretary, that he knew he was on the list. But let's see the letter that went with the body outline with Donald Trump's name, Ms. Pubic Hair. Now, they say this is not the exact letter, it is a replica. So that's important to remember. Voiceover There must be more to life than having everything. The note began. Donald says, yes, there is, but I won't tell you what it is, Jeffrey Nor will I, since I also know what it is. Donald we have certain things in common, Jeffrey. Jeffrey, yes, we do. Come to think of it, Donald says enigmas never age. Have you noticed that? Now, I think that's interesting. And a lot of people are saying, well, he doesn't use the word enigma. He before he became completely demented, he did use enigma all the time. It's on record. Go find it. Jeffrey says, as a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you. So enigmas never age, which means the girls continue to stay young. And Jeffrey knows that Donald knows based it was clear to him the last time he saw him. Trump says, a pal is a wonderful thing. Happy birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret. So I know Mag is going to, you know, Donald Trump. Fake news, fake news, fake news, blah, blah, blah. Blah. In fact, before I comment on it, let's see his response because he, his hair is on fire. And we learned that this story has been circulating and Donald Trump was notified that it was coming out three or two or three days before it actually went out. And that's why he immediately runs out and says, oh, it was Obama, it was Hillary, it was a hoax, it was was Biden. Because he knew this was coming and he knows what's in it. So here's his response. The Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch personally were warned directly by President Donald J. Trump that the supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was fake. And if they print it, they will be sued. Now mind you, Donald Trump posted this about Donald Trump calling himself Donald Trump. Mr. Murdoch stated that he would take care of it, but obviously did not have the power to do so. So we did hear that Trump and Caroline Levitt, they were calling rattling cages trying to prevent this story from coming out. So he calls up rer Murdoch, threatens to sue him and he says Murdoch didn't have the power. No. Maybe Murdoch is sick and tired because during the Dominion lawsuit we heard all about how much he hates you. And then it says the editor of the Wall Street Journal, Emma Tucker, was told directly by Caroline Levitt and by President Trump that the letter was a fake. But Emma Tucker didn't want to hear that. Instead they are going with a false, malicious and defamatory story Anyway, President Trump again third person, will be suing the Wall Street Journal, News Corp and Mr. Murdoch shortly. The press has to learn to be truthful and not rely on that probably don't even exist. President Trump has already beaten George Stephanopoulos, ABC, 60 Minutes, CBS and others and looks forward to suing and holding accountable the once great Wall Street Journal. Keep this up. It's real important to know that CBS caved because they wanted to merge. So Paramount cave now. They fired Stephen Colbert. They caved. He didn't win a lawsuit. They caved because it was more trouble and Trump would have stopped the merger of Paramount and the person buying them. ABC caved because they're weak. They did. Donald Trump did not win in court against these people. And then it says it has truly turned out to be a disgusting and filthy rag. And writing defamatory lies like this shows their desperation to remain relevant. If there were any truth at all on the Epstein hoax as it pertains to President Trump, this information would have been released by Comey Brennan, crooked Hillary and other radical left lunatics years ago. It certainly would not have sat in a file waiting for Trump to have won three election. It's yet another example of fake news. Okay? So he is up in arms, he's calling people, he's threatening lawsuits, which. That's just what he does. That just what he does. And then here's what's so interesting. He says that he never draws. He never draws. That doesn't sound like me. I don't. I don't draw. Put up, put it up. Okay, Here are pictures that he signed that he's drawn with his free hand with a heavy marker. Okay? Like the man lies because either he. His cognitive decline is so much, he doesn't remember this and he says stupid, that's easily proven incorrect, or he just lies, thinking his supporters are stupid. Either way, it's a lie. It's disinformation. And right now in the United States, it is so important to have factual news. We have agency over our news and we need to find facts. And that is why Jennifer and I always use ground news. Ground news is basically the Spotify news, telling you who owns each outlet, where it leans politically, and whether you're reading original reporting or recycled messages. For example, on the right, the headline is Pentagon scaling down National Guard deployment to la. On the left, US Defense Department will withdraw early from Los Angeles. Part of the army sent after protest. So you can see there's completely different slants on that. Ground news goes in and it reads everything and it tells you who owns it. Is it factual? What's the right talking about? What's the left talking about that is so important in these times where people are so siloed in their news cycle?

That's ground G R O u n d news.com forward sl I hip we have pinned the link in the show notes, so it's so easy for you to ascertain this information back to the tea. One thing I found interesting on the Internet. Now, granted, I don't know if this is true because according to Elon Musk, Steve Bannon is up the episode in the Epstein files up to his eyeballs. But they're reporting that Steve Bannon is the one who gave the book to the Wall Street Journal. According to sources inside Now, I don't know If I believe that, I mean, could be true. I'll tell you who we could ask about it is Ghisain Maxwell, because she's in jail. So that presents just a huge problem for Trump because if she's in jail, she can sing like a bird to get out. Or if he pardons her, the MAGA base will really lose their mind then if he were to do that. So he is in a pickle. A pickle he has not been in the entire time he's been in politics. And then something that I think is so super important, and I know I referenced it earlier, but Trump got wind of this. The Beltway knew this Wall Street Journal article was coming. And that's when you see Trump posting all this stuff, blaming up on the Democrats. The Journal reports that when reporters contacted Trump two days ago about this story, he threatened to stew if it was published. Then hours later claimed that Obiden. I'm sorry that Obama and Biden made up the Epstein files. Of course he did. Of course he did, because that's what he does. He has undermined the media and called it fake news from Jump. So when crazy that he does is reported, he can just say, well, it's a hoax, it's not true. So we'll see if his magabase falls for it this time. I don't know if they will, but I just. Caroline Levitt, as you know, if you're a listener of this podcast, is one of my favorite targets because she, even at 27 or 28, she is a master of lying and propaganda. But I thought this comment she made was interesting. So let's hear from Caroline Levitt in response to a question about the Epstein case.
B
Attorney General to do an exhaustive review of all files related to Jeffrey Epstein, which they did. The Attorney General and the FBI, led by Pam Bondi, Dan Bongino, Cash Patel, these are great patriots, some of the most trusted voices in the Republican Party movement. It's part of the reason the President appointed him, appointed them to these high law enforcement positions. And they spent many months going through all of the files related to Jeffrey Epstein and they concluded what they found in that memo, which they drafted and they released. And so the President has been transparent. He has followed through on his promises to the American people. But he doesn't like to see Democrats and the mainstream media covering this like it's the biggest story that the American people care about. The.
A
Okay, here's the deal. For 10 years, Donald Trump has been screaming about the deep state and what's going on with the Jeffrey Epstein files that it's the Deep State Democrats, radical left scumballs. He's the one that put this in his bases grips. Nobody else. And I will say this, nobody, nobody thinks Cash Patel, Dan Bongino, Pam Bondi are trustworthy. I'm just telling you that straight up. Everybody knows they're propagandists. Pam Bondi has been in the Epstein file since jump. She was the attorney general when Palm beach arrested him and gave him that sweetheart deal. So, no, we trust you zero on this. But I'll tell you who we do trust are the FBI agents that have seen it. The prosecutor, Comey, that was just fired from the Southern District of New York. Hopefully, these people will come out and tell us exactly what's going on. Please like this video and subscribe to our channel. We'll be back with more news.
