Foreign. What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. Just a few days before Melania Trump made her statement, we had heard from Todd Blanche that the party was over when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his co conspirators. Well, fast forward a few days and Melania Trump shows up and becomes a monkey in that wrench because now she's demanding that Congress has hearings to hear from the Epstein survivors. Meanwhile, we have Todd Blanch, the highest ranking lawman in the country, telling us that everything's over and done with. So it can't be both, right? Either there's some there there or there isn't, and we all know that there is. But Todd Blanche and the DOJ have done their best to try and put this to bed, only to have Melania show up and ruin it. So now the heat's being turned up on the DOJ once again and people are demanding that they do more. And look, that's the only way that we're ever gonna get any kind of result. And I have my doubts about Melania Trump's motivation for getting up there and talking about this subject once again. But I think the result is going to be beneficial because it once again has thrust this story to the forefront. And of course, people have questions as to what the DOJ is really doing when it comes to Epstein, considering that the President's wife is calling for hearings. So if this was such a big hoax, if there was nothing going on and there was nothing left to see, do you really think the first lady would have got up there and said what she said? Because it doesn't make sense. There was no reason for Melania Trump to get up there and give that speech. The story was pretty much done for. At least for now. Everybody was focused on Iran. Well, now there's a lot of interest swung back to what Melania Trump was doing, why she said that and what motivated it. And I think one thing that's being missed is the messaging. We're talking about messages that run head on. You have Donald Trump and the DOJ telling us to move on. Then you have Melania Trump saying she wants hearings and more investigations. So what's The DOJ gonna do? Are they gonna continue with their bullshit saying there's nothing here and basically make Melania Trump out to be a liar, or are they gonna investigate more? Today we have an article from Fox News and the headline, melania Trump's Epstein remarks turn up the heat on DOJ Acting AG Todd Blanche to do more. This article was authored by Alex Schemmel. And that alone, in my opinion, is an indictment on the doj. So the survivors telling you what happened wasn't enough. All the evidence you had wasn't enough. Now you're going to do more. First Lady Melania Trump called for public hearings for Jeffrey Epstein's victims is piling fresh pressure on Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch, who only days earlier signaled the administration wanted to move past the saga, even as bipartisan lawmakers and survivors continue demanding more files, testimony and prosecutions. Well, not just them. All of us. I don't think anyone who's being honest can say that there was a real investigation that's ever taken place here, that the people who should have been investigated were investigated and all of the levers were pulled because that's just not the case. While the first lady called on Congress to take additional steps to let Epstein survivors. Why is that in quotes? Mr. Schemmel, can you explain to me why you have Survivor in quotes? Are you inferring that they're lying? Is that what you're trying to do here? I think Mr. Schemmel might need an email. First lady asked Congress to bring the Epstein survivors in for testimony. With all due respect, that's Acting U.S. attorney General Todd Blanch's job. Representative Thomas Massie, who's been at odds with the President and and his administration over how it's handled the Epstein case, said after the first lady's remarks, and I know people don't want to hear it, but it's true. It's the DOJ's job. These women already gave up a bunch of names. All those names in those police reports, all those names in the memorandums, all those names in court documents. Nobody did shit about it. So these women should just come out and say stuff again in some public forum? Yeah, that's going to work out well for them. Give me a break. How about this? Instead of that happening, why don't you bring in the people that have already been accused and investigate them? Why don't we have the DOJ act on the tips that have already been given to them? Why don't they arrest people that were involved with Jeffrey Epstein financially? Why didn't they charge him with rico. How come the NPA is still in existence? These are all just basic questions that the DOJ should and could answer, but they choose not to. Representative Ro Khanna and I already gave brave survivors a chance to tell their horrific stories on Capitol Hill. Pam Bondi wouldn't even acknowledge them. Prosecute, bro, I said the same thing. Pam Bondi didn't even turn around and look at those girls. Those women. Oh yeah, do you hear about the dao? The American people need to hear about the dao, says the highest ranking law person in the country. What makes her qualified to talk about the dao, by the way? Well, she's probably engaging in a bunch of insider trading like her buddies. But besides that, the dao. I got your Dow right here. But the good news for Pam Bondi is now that she's unemployed, she has plenty of time to keep an eye on the Dow. Maybe Trump will fire Jerome Powell and hire Pam Bondi. Actually, Congress did act, added Representative Ted Lieu in response to the First Lady's Thursday night remarks calling on Congress to do more. But Acting U.S. attorney General Todd Blanche is violating the law and refusing to release the Epstein files as required by the law. Well, that's the truth. And as you all know, American not exactly a gigantic fan of Ted Lou. None of these guys. I mean, look at Eric Swalwell, Mr. Big Mouth himself, talking about this one should be held accountable. That one should be held accountable. Meanwhile, allegedly bro's engaging in the same kind of behavior. So forgive me if I don't trust your favorite politician to get this over the finish line. It's up to us. And that's why I continue to do what I do. Because the second we let off the gas, this story goes away. I promise you. And as long as my fat mouth has the ability to run, I'm going to be talking about this whether there's an audience for it or not. Unlike the Taurus, I'm going to be here regardless. I'm not going to just blow wherever the wind takes me because I truly believe that until we deal with this, nothing else really matters. And I truly believe that. Meanwhile, in a letter released by over a dozen alleged Epstein victims. Alleged, huh? Did they get payouts from the the estate? Oh, they did, but they're alleged, huh? Fox News is hilarious. They went from talking about Epstein all the time and about how the Democrats were involved to now trying to cast it in a light where it, you know, might be false. They're just allegations. Meanwhile, all these women have received gigantic Payouts. First lady Melania Trump's now shifting the burden onto survivors under politicized conditions that protect those with power. The Department of Justice, law enforcement, prosecutors and the Trump administration, which is still not fully complied with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. A letter allegedly signed by 15 Epstein survivors posted to social media by Representative Melanie Stansberry stated, it also diverts attention from Pam Bondi, who must answer for withheld files and the exposure of survivors identities. Those failures continue to put lives at risk while shielding the enablers. Survivors have done their part. Now it's time for those in power to do theirs. The letter concluded, well, yeah, after decades of negligence, after decades of inaction, it's time for the Department of Justice and the federal government to do their job. I know we're asking a lot here. We are asking a whole lot. Fox News Digital reached out to the Department of Justice and White House for comment on the first lady's remarks and remarks from victims and members of Congress calling on the Trump administration to do more, but did not hear back. However, in a statement, npr, following the First Lady's remarks, the Department of Justice said, as we have always stated, we encourage any victim of Jeffrey Epstein who wish to speak to contact the FBI. Any survivor who has information on an abuser is encouraged to contact federal law enforcement. Cool. Who do I contact to investigate you? That's the real question. Because if anyone needs to be investigated at this point and held accountable, it's the FBI, the doj, and all the people that made these decisions. Whether it's the NPA, or any of these other decisions. They need to be held accountable. Enough is enough. We're talking about straight up corruption, folks. How much money changed hands? How many people receive things of note from Jeffrey Epstein before or after the matter? We all know about the prosecutors who jumped ship and went and worked for Epstein. What did they get? And you think their pensions are at risk? You think their reputations are at risk? Of course not. Because the whole entire job of the OIG and their Epstein report was to whitewash this. That was the whole goal. And up until recently, that narrative held because they were successful in painting people who had questions as conspiracy theorists. But that's not working out so well anymore, is it? People aren't buying that BS because people have seen with their own eyes. And what they've seen is a lot of lies and a lot of bullshit by the federal government. Not long after taking the reins from former US Attorney General Pam Bondi, Blanche insisted it was time for the Justice Department to move on from the Epstein case. Well, when your boss tells you it's time to move on and time to move on, and we all know Donald Trump has no desire to talk about this story. I think that to the extent that the Epstein files was a part of the past year of this Justice Department, it should not be a part of anything going forward, blanche said Thursday in an interview with Fox News host Jesse Waters. He added that the DOJ has now released all the files with respect to the Epstein saga. Maybe the people of America need to file a class action suit against the FBI. And I'm not even kidding when I say that we have been wronged time and time again and they continue to look directly in your face and lie to you, my question is, are you going to accept it? Because I've had my fill. And keep in mind if you lie to the FBI, you go to prison. If the FBI lies to you, well, they get promoted to the AG position. Still, several members of Congress think there's more to be done on the matter. Following the First Lady's remarks, Representative Anna Paulina Luna indicated that House Oversight Chairman agreed to call four named co conspirators to testify. And Paulina Luna, she is a chaos agent. She's disgusting and she's caused great harm to the survivors. Nobody should trust her. Remember when she showed up calling survivors traffickers themselves? What she really meant was the core four, but she didn't know the story well enough so she was just firing her fat mouth off talking nonsense. And of course it led to a bunch of idiots running around with bullshit narratives talking bullshit. So as far as I'm concerned, Anna Paulina Luna came kick rocks. I don't want to hear from her. I don't care what she has to say. And in fact, I find her to be an embarrassment and relatively stupid. And they won't be the only ones, the congresswoman added in a post on X Cool. Is Melania gonna get up there and testify? How about your boss, Donald Trump? There are a number of doctors we also have questions for and the list continues to grow, the Florida congresswoman continued. I'm calling on the DOJ to prosecute individuals who took plea deals under civil rights violations and to consider additional charges where appropriate. If you traffic a young girl, you don't get to pretend to be a victim. There's a massive difference. And there she goes again, not even differentiating. These are highly unserious people. I mean, any politician that gets up there and talks about interdimensional beings, I'm sorry, but I can't take you seriously. It's like asking me to take somebody like Theo Von seriously. I don't take people that have mullets serious. I'm sorry, but I don't. You show up with a little achy breaky, mistakey business in the front, party in the back, the Kentucky waterfall hockey hair. I'm sorry, buddy, but I don't care about your geopolitical takes and I certainly don't care what you have to say about Epstein. Meanwhile, Kana also demanded the first lady come testify in front of Congress, arguing her remarks show she is privy to relevant information. While Representative Robert Garcia said following the first lady's Thursday night remarks that he and his colleagues still want to see Bondi testify to Congress. I think everybody in the country wants that. Well, maybe not Maga, but the rest of us. That lady's a straight up liar and she needs to be held accountable. Pam Bondi knows more about this cover up and why the botch release of the files happened the way they did in doxing survivors and putting their information out there, not protecting their identities. Pam Bondi must testify. That's her legal obligation. I think there's enough Republicans that also agree she has been subpoenaed. They had a legal subpoena. Garcia told CNN the DOJ and Todd Blanch continue to cover up for Donald Trump, continue to want this to go away, but we're going to continue to push and every single day and great, I'm happy to hear that. But it's up to you, really, because if we stop caring, if we stop, you know, forcing the issue, then these politicians, they're just going to move on to whatever the next thing is. So that's why it's crucial that we keep this story on the front burner. And that's exactly what we're going to do around these parts. So with that said, that's going to do it for this one.
