I want you to know that I have read your comments and I have seen your DMs and your tags. I know that people have been asking about my thoughts on the Epstein files and I apologize. I was traveling and working this week and travel just got insane. So I had not been able to sit down and do this episode, even though I wrote it a few days ago. But I think it's important to say that I never just wanna yap to yap. I never just want to regurgitate the exact same take that I am seeing online. And this just felt like a behemoth of a subject because they just dropped 3 million new files on Epstein. Like that is a lot to digest. So I stayed quiet, I observed, I gathered information before sitting down to put this episode together. And I just really think at the end of the day that there's a lot of people who are full of crap, including people in our government. Now guys, there are some outrageous things, things in this most recent Epstein file drop. I mean like outrageous. And we will get to all of that. But I first want to address like the general tone of the room and what I'm observing online in the world right now because it just hasn't sat right with me. And I think that that's one of the reasons why I've been struggling to know how to address this episode and why I waited a few days. And so let's just dive into that first. So in case you didn't know, the Trump administration released a huge slew of Epstein files last Friday and it literally set the the media ablaze. Now they are saying this will be the quote unquote, last major drop of Epstein files. But I think it's important to note that that does not mean that it is everything stuff is still redacted in these files. Files are still being withheld. And there are things that we just probably will never see. I don't know if a future administration will change that. I don't know if Trump in a couple of years will change that. Right now, from where I am sitting, it feels like this is it. And it also feels like this drop seems kind of like a, ugh, fine, like you guys won't shut up about it. Here's the files go through. Everybody wants this information so badly. Here's 3 million files that you all need to work through. And while, yes, objectively this is a huge step for transparency on this issue, I don't. And this is where I struggle. I don't really know how productive this actually has been because it almost feels like all of this was intentionally made incredibly confusing. Like these files are not organized well. It was a huge drop all at once. And there is so much actual misinformation online. And I do not use that word misinformation lightly, but this actually is misinformation. And I was actually talking to somebody on my work trip in Utah this week who made a really good point and said, I wonder if our government, not the Trump administration, just the government in general, if they waited to release all of these files until AI has progressed to the level that it has, so that people would be swarmed with these 3 million files, plus deep fakes and fake emails and AI altered images, all of that because that, all of that is a bulk of what I have been having to muddle through online because so much of it is fake. Now, thank God for Community notes on X saying, no, this is AI generated, but it has made things very, very complicated. But regardless, what I really want to say is that all of this has created an environment where every single person, every single group has a different conclusion based on these files. Like, some see this as irrefutable evidence that our government is run by a satanic ring of pedos. Some see this as confirmation that Epstein was Mossad. Bibi Netanyahu is saying, ah, great, now we have confirmation that he was not Mossad. Some people now think that actually nothing happened and that this conspiracy was just fake all along. Some say, especially the left wing media are saying that this is absolutely an indictment of Donald Trump. And Trump is saying that this finally absolves him and we can all move on. Like, guys, these are all things that people are screaming online based on these 3 million files. Like, do you see how insane that is? Like, I feel like I have been going crazy. There is no clarity, there is no consensus. But everyone is telling their audience that they are certain and the Outrage is overwhelming. And in my opinion, it's all a bunch of bullshit. Genuinely. Again, because it is 3 million files. 3 million. Like, I saw somebody say that if you printed out all of these emails, like, this is not including the audio recordings, the videos, anything like that. If you printed out all of this and stacked it, those files would be three times as tall as the Statue of Liberty. Like, you cannot convince me that all of the people making these broad, sweeping claims, these conclusions, have actually read all of the documents and listened to the hours and hours of recordings. Like, they are basing all of this off of excerpts and drops that other people are posting, other people have found, or they're doing things like going into the files and searching up specific names and terms, keywords, and then going from there. And so I really haven't felt like I or anyone else, to be honest, are in a position to actually verify any of this, like, break it down and offer a well thought out conclusion. Because how can you analyze and break down 3 million pages in 24 hours? And that's what a lot of people were saying that they were doing. And so, like, I won't lie, I do not know what all of this means because I'm letting you know now, I have not read 3 million files. I will never lie to you. There is a lot that I have not read. But I do have some takeaways and some observations from what I have read. And the first thing I'll say is that this is definitely not the concrete, tidy, quote, unquote, Epstein list that people have been talking about and looking for and expecting. And honestly, and this feels weird to say, but I don't know if that list actually exists or if there is one, if anyone in the public will actually see it. I also have a lot of trepidation about the accusations in these files because contrary to what some other commentators and influencers are saying, those accusations are still just accusations. They are not concrete. They are not verified. Like, some of the insane, disgusting things that are in these files are, are simply random tips sent to lawyers. Some things that were not even strong enough to use in the cases against Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell. We know that Epstein was convicted multiple times. We know that he was a sex offender. We know that he was a freak. And so obviously those accusations could be true, but they also could not be true because inclusion in these 3 million files is not an automatic confirmation. And so I think that it is very disingenuous for people online to act like it is, because that feels like a very Black and white reading of this behemoth of a situation. I think a lot of what happened and what is included in these files, post 2008 conviction, post 2011, where he was classified as a high risk sex offender, I think it was in the United States, maybe it was just in New York State, I don't know. But I think all of that is even more convoluted because there was a financial incentive to be an Epstein victim. And I say this very, very delicately and I know, like, don't scream at me yet, just listen. Because, like, this is something that a year ago, I don't know if I would have said, but it is something that I've come to terms with over the last year because there was an Epstein victims fund. I'm not saying that that was wrong. People who are truly victims, they should have been paid out. They should have been compensated. You. The entire situation again, is disgusting and awful. But people were paid out millions and millions of dollars from that fund and it was public. And so I'm not saying that these people are all liars or exaggerating the truth and we know that there are real victims. But what about the random, unverified people emailing and talking to lawyers in these files? And considering how I feel about the weaponization of the MeToo movement, I do think it is important to be consistent and acknowledge that fact and, and acknowledge some of the incentives that were at play that could have muddied the water in what the public is hearing. So again, I'm not saying that everybody's a liar. I'm just saying it is very convoluted. Now, Mike Cernovich, who is actually one of the key players in getting the first Epstein and Maxwell records unsealed back in 2017, he even tweeted this and he said, I've been at a wedding and a vacation. The Epstein release is loaded with unfounded accusations from post 2020, when any mentally ill person could file a report. Way too much obvious nonsense is being pushed. Even CNN did this, unfortunate as it means no one knows up from down. And that is the point that I'm really trying to make here, is that everyone is saying that they have these broad conclusions that this is certifiably X or Y and it is based in their biases and their political agenda. I'm sorry, but usually it is in line with your political agenda, especially when it involves Trump. But it's convoluted and it's confusing and a lot of the information in there is not verified. So with all of that being said, with me laying that groundwork, let's dive into again the tiny fraction of things that I have read in the files, what stood out and my thoughts on the government officials and public figures and possibly the most egregious and disgusting, the people who stood by him and continued to benefit from him after his convictions.

So just diving into things, it seems like all anyone on the political right can talk about right now, other than Jeffrey Epstein, is Nicki Minaj. Because Nicki Minaj, you know, she came out on stage at AM Fest, she has come over to the right. Even though I think she was always sort of on the right, she's now publicly on the right. She's doing interviews with Stephen Miller's wife, she's hanging out with Trump, she's taking pictures with Mike Johnson. Everybody's like tweeting back at each other. It's like this, barbs, Nicki Minaj, maga, Trump Love Fest. And obviously that's great. Like, obviously I am happy for her. I'm happy to have a huge new voice on our team. She's very influential. But I'm sorry, some of this has felt incredibly performative. I know you might be thinking, bret, she's on our team. What do you mean? Okay, but just look at this tweet. So Nicki Minaj, she posted this and she said your favorite artist has been practicing rituals in a satanic cult where they take babies from other countries and mutilate and kill them as a form of blood sacrifice to their God. You see, when your master is Satan, you you must constantly shed blood. However, the jig is up. So she is basically confirming the existence of a satanic pedo ring child sacrifice in Hollywood and in the music industry. That's what she's saying. And so Nikki posted this right after this latest Epstein file drop and as people were going back and forth about whether all of this information in these emails confirmed the existence of Epstein's satanic pedo ray. And so on top of that, they were now dealing with Nikki's tweet going, oh, my gosh, now is this confirmation? And I guess after years of this and this quote unquote conspiracy and talking about this and talking about the pedophiles and Satanism and all of this, like, with no real confirmation or transparency, I guess I'm just tired. Like, maybe that's the best way to put it. Like, I saw this, and I went, okay, another accusation. But will it ever lead to anything? Like, will we ever actually know the truth? Will anything actually be done about this? And also, if this is true, then has Nikki just been sitting on this information about child sex trafficking and blood rituals, exploitation for years? Like, does she have proof? Has she taken this information to the police? Has she talked to her new best friend Donald Trump about any of this? Or is this just for a reaction online? And her tweet is also painting a very different picture from what has been said to us by the Trump administration. Like, Trump saying, all right, here are the files. I'm absolved. We can all move on. Like, glad you all have the information. Or Pam, Blondie, and Patel saying, there was nothing there. Which is all so ironic because remember last year, Pam was like, the files are on my desk. I have the list. I'm making binders. We're gonna release all of it. And then randomly, like, two weeks later, she was like, oh, there's our list. There's nothing to prosecute. There's no file. We can't tell you anything. Sorry. We can't drop anything else. No files. The list does not exist. Like, Kash Patel even testified about that. He sat in front of all of our representatives on camera and said, there is nothing there. We have no evidence that we need to prosecute anyone else. It was just Epstein trafficking children to himself. There is nothing there. So, like, what are we supposed to believe is what I'm saying? Because 3 million documents with names and emails and pictures and tips could prove otherwise. And now we have Nicki Minaj seemingly confirming a satanic pedo ring in Hollywood in the music industry. So what does it mean? Are we supposed to listen to Nicki Minaj and see these insane files, but just blindly trust the Trump administration and, like, shut up. Like, the only thing that I want silenced are my firearms. And that is why I work with Silencer Shop, because shooting is great, but shooting suppressed is way better.
