Come see me on tour in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, Waikiki, Hawaii and the Comedy Store in Los Angeles. Go to jimmy dore.com for a link for tickets establishment media sucks. August light and so good luck bullshit we can't afford. Why fomenting discord. Watch and see as his jack golf come medium speeds and jumps the medium and hits him head on. It's the chim. The big news today is Trump has caved on the Epstein files, trying to slander, discredit, smear primary Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene. He was saying stuff like this. Did Thomas Massie, sometimes referred to as Rand Paul Jr because of the fact he always votes against the Republican Party, get married already. Boy, that was quick. That's how desperate he was. That's how bad it got. And now guess what? Trump calls on House Republicans to vote to release Epstein files. Whoa. Trump is a lot like the weather in Florida, because if you don't like the weather, just wait a minute. That's what they say in Florida, right? So anything Trump decides usually lasts about as long as Nicolas Cage's money, if you know what I'm talking about. So now Trump is totally flip flopped and this signals a lot of things. And the biggest thing it signals is that Trump has lost control of Maga, that 99% of Maga wanted those Epstein files released. Except for the people being paid to post. You know, people like Cat Turd has completely lost his mind and credibility. He went from calling out neocons to doing the bidding of Neil, people like that. I'm not, I mean to single out Cat Turd, there's plenty of influencers doing that and Cat Turd has a just do some great work. I still like it, I still like a lot of stuff, but this is nuts what's going on. And now after maligning everybody wanting the Epstein files, now Trump turned on them. So all those people doing the bidding of Trump and slandering Thomas Massie, slamming Marjorie Taylor Greene, slandering anybody who wanted the Epstein files released, now Trump just threw them under the bus. I didn't throw them under the bus. I didn't throw Catcher up the bus stop. Trump did. So now Trump is completely flip flopped. And what this means is that he doesn't have control and that he people no longer fear him threatening to primary them, People no longer fear him not endorsing them. And that within 10 months, within 10 months, Donald Trump has wrecked his coalition. He has smashed it. And now his coalition doing what the what, what good citizens do, are holding their Politicians accountable. You're not supposed to be. People like to say, oh, you're not loyal. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Rand Paul, Thomas Massie, they're not loyal to Trump. Candace Owens, not loyal to Trump. You're not supposed to be loyal to a politician. You're supposed, the politician is supposed to be loyal to you. You're supposed to be loyal to principles, policies and ideals. And if a politician lines up with those, great, we'll all work together. And when a politician does it, you pressure that politician and you call that politician out. Being loyal to a politician is called a cult. That's what a cult does. That's why everybody, that's why you guys hated the Democrats the last four years. The big reason was because they were in a cult because they couldn't tell you the truth. And they were loyal to Joe Biden. They would say he's sharp and focused and Joe Scarborough would say, and if you don't think this is the best version of Joe Biden, f you, he said that on cable news. F you. So now people are doing the same things, the same kind of cultish sycophantic behavior for Donald Trump. And now Donald Trump just threw all those people under the. Is this is the equivalent of Joe Biden coming out saying, I'm demented in the middle of everybody right after Joe Biden, Joe Scarborough said, f you. This is the best version of Joe Biden ever. This is the, this, that's the equivalent. He just threw all those people under the bus. All the people saying, so US President Donald Trump and, and, and it, it marks the end of the. So it is no longer a death sentence to oppose Donald Trump vehemently, loudly, and it's no longer a death sentence in the Republican Party to fear him not supporting your reelection, endorsing you, or to fear him trying to get, recruit people to primary him. Right now, there's three Zionist donors that are trying to primary, they're funding the primary of Thomas Massie. US President Trump has urged lawmakers in his own party to vote to release files relating to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump wrote on Sunday night that Republicans in the House should do so because we have nothing to hide. So when he says he, when Trump says he has nothing to hide, I think that means he knows you're going to find out and he has to pretend he doesn't care. That's, that's what I think that that means. Trump, in the striking reversal for Trump after weeks of saying the clamor for a vote on the release was A Democratic driven distraction and a hoax. He called it a ho. So that's what I think. I think at this stage of societal decline, him saying that he has nothing to hide could just mean that we find out and he doesn't care. Does, does Trump have some kind of advanced technology that allows him to travel back in time and not go to Epstein's island? Is that what's happening here? Here's what, here's his tweet about it. As I said on Friday night aboard Air Force One to the fake news media, House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files because we have nothing to hide. Nobody cared about Jeffrey Epstein when he was alive. Oh boy, did they. Oh boy, did they, did they care. From presidents to prime ministers to the head of Wall street to the head of Harvard to Noam Chomsky, everybody cared about Jeffrey Epstein. Everybody, including Donald Trump. If the Democrats had anything, they would have released it before our landslide election victory. Okay, so here is. Thomas Massie tweets this out after months of fighting and disparaging my Epstein legislation, now that my discharge. So you know, Thomas Massey had, him and Rokhanna had come up with this petition that they wanted voted on, which is gonna, looks like it's going to be voted on now, today, if you're, tomorrow, if you're seeing it on a video, this meaning Tuesday, of, of this week, it's going to be voted on now. And they have, they had the numbers. There was going to be many defectors from Trump's coalition and they were going to go ahead and vote for this discharge position to have the administration release all the Epstein files. So Trump knew he lost. And so that's why he's doing this. And so after months of fighting and disparaging my Epstein legislation, now that my discharge petition has succeeded, Speaker Johnson says he tried to pass the law by unanimous consent. If that's so, he should have no problem voting yay next week. Listen to his own words. So let's listen to what he has to say.
B
I want to say this tonight, and I think this is a shame to a lot of the Hill press corps. I'm not going to name any of you by name, but I haven't seen many stories written yet about the fact that we put the discharge up for unanimous consent on the floor tonight. The Republicans, I, the Speaker and the Republicans asked for unanimous consent to just go ahead and pass the discharge because I think it's a moot point.
A
Okay, so now Speaker Johnson's being a politician and he's lying and spinning which is what politicians do. And so why he wanted a unanimous consent on this discharge position petition is because then you can't say who voted for it. Everybody voted for it. The Democrats voted it down. The unanimous consent because they want them on the record. It's like with Forced to Vote. We wanted the Democrats on the record voting for or against Medicare for All. We wanted them on the record. That's what they're doing to their. And so he's trying to pretend like why don't they just want a unanimous cathode. Because they have the votes. That's why. And now we want to put everybody on record who's voting for it. That's what this is about.
B
The, the Democrats objected to the. To the unanimous consent. Nobody's written a story about that. That's stunning to me. How can you miss that if it was about.
A
Well, I'm right. I'm doing a story about it right now. Doing a story about it right now. I've seen a lot of other people do stories about it right now. So transparency.
B
It was about full disclosure. There's two questions you should ask every Democrat in the House and Senate. Why didn't you bring this up? During the four years of the Biden administration, when the Biden DOJ had all these records the entire time, nobody ever said a word about it. They didn't care. Now it's the biggest thing in the world. Didn't matter at all.
A
Well, there's probably several reasons for that. One of them, that they were protecting their donors. Also AIPAC pressure, things like that. But people who don't take money from apac, namely Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie is Rand Paul take money from apac. I'd be interesting to find that out. But those people who don't take money from APAC stood up and they won the debate because why? Because 99% of MAGA base wants these things, wants the Epstein files released when.
B
Joe Biden had the files. And secondly, if they're for transparency and they really want all this to be out and there's such this urgency, then why did they vote down the unanimous consent to pass the discharge petition tonight?
A
Because they want to get you on record. So that's Speaker Johnson pretending to be all earnest and honest and above board. And of course he's actually spinning to try to gaslight you. So that's what he's doing.
B
I can't answer that question. But they should. And every one of you should ask him about it.
A
Yes, I just did. Here. Here's Thomas Massie and he's gonna further tell you that Trump's power is diminished.
C
The President has gone after you in some deeply personal ways. I mean, attacking you over and over again. Even. Even attacking you regarding your wedding, your recent wedding, which, by the way, congratulations. What do you make of all that? And he's obviously supporting your primary opponents. I mean, what kind of retribution are you facing?
D
You know, my wife told me, she said, I told you so. We should have invited Donald Trump. He's mad that he didn't get an invitation. So, you know, we're taking it with a grain of salt. He's being a bully or trying to be a bully, and they're trying to beat me here in Kentucky. But here's what's interesting. The people financing this campaign consist completely of three billionaires.
E
And.
D
And they're all in the Epstein class. In fact, one of them is named in Epstein's phone book.
A
Bam. So those are the people who are trying to primary Thomas Massie. Three billionaires, one of them in Epstein's phone book.
D
Not the secret files that the FBI is keeping, but in Epstein's phone book. So it's a small world. Dogs don't bark at parked cars. And we are winning. I'm not tired of winning yet, but we are winning. And not only the speaker, but the, the Attorney General, the FBI director and the President himself and the Vice President, they're taking a big loss this week because after months of fighting, I am winning this week with Ro Khanna. We're forcing this vote and it's going to happen. I would remind my Republican colleagues who are deciding how to vote. Donald Trump can protect you in red districts right now by giving you an endorsement.
A
But I disagree. I think what this shows Donald Trump caving is that he can't. He no longer has that kind of power. He can. It's already gone.
D
In 2030, he's not going to be the president. And you will have voted to protect pedophiles. If you don't vote to release these files and the President can't protect you.
A
Then he can't protect them now. And this vote proves it. The fact that Speaker Johnson is spinning his head off. The fact that Trump has completely flip flopped, done a 180 and said, no, no, go ahead, vote for it. After months of saying it's Democrat hoax and threatening and threatening and threatening Marjorie Taylor Greene with a primary, threatening Thomas Massie with the primary, the most despicable slurs against both of them, and he's saying that in 2030, Trump won't be able to. I'm saying right now, Trump can't. I think Trump is, as Candace Owens said just a few weeks ago, the moment Trump ended MAGA was when he called you idiots and weak for wanting the Epstein files revealed. That was when it was over. So it was, it was over then. It was over when he bombed Yemen, was over when he bombed Iran at the behest of Israel, when he started deporting college students for writing articles critical of Israel, when he started to institute DEI for Jews on college campuses, when he started to institute hate speech laws to protect Zionists. When he cited flip flopped on the H1B visa and said we have to import workers to the United States so that Americans have to train those workers that are going to take their jobs. So they're not importing talent, they're importing people that need to be trained by Americans. So that was the last dagger, I think, into the MAGA base was when he flipped on H1B visas, sided with Vivek Bamaswamy and screwed the American workers and lies about it that we need to import talent. You saw Laura Ingram on Fox News completely push back against him on that. So Thomas Massie, I think, is overinflating Trump's power right now. In 10 months, Trump has completely wrecked his coalition, wrecked MAGA, wrecked his power. It's over and it's not going to happen in 2030. It's happening right now, which is why we're going to get that vote to discharge those petitions. The, the Epstein. That's why that's happening. They're not afraid of Trump. It's over this vote.
D
The record of this vote will last longer than Donald Trump's presidency.
A
Yeah, yeah. So speaking to the BBC on Monday, Glenn Grothman, a Republican congressman on the House Oversight Committee, attempted to explain Trump's change of mind. He suggested the President felt that an ongoing systematic release of files by the committee would only fuel further speculation and distract from other topics, such as Trump's budgetary plans. Trump viewed it as easier to simply let the press go nuts for a couple of days over the files. Grotham suggested, wow, he is one moody guy, that Trump. One second he's defending the pedos and the next day he's going after them. He's like tripolar. He'll try anything. Both Democrats and some Republicans have been backing legislation to release all the documents. Republican Representative Thomas Massie, co sponsor of the bill, telling ABC News on Sunday that as many as 100 Republicans could vote in favor. And that's why? Trump said, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's. So now you see. Now you see, Trump doesn't have the control he thought he once had. He certainly doesn't have the control he had in January or February or March. How many times could he stab MAGA in the back? Oh, by the way, he's exploding the deficit. And all those Doge cuts were a fake because they didn't cut any of that money from the federal budget. He just gave it to the weapons manufacturers and, and Palantir and the Pentagon. A Pentagon who cannot pass an audit. Trump gave 200 billion more. So that wiped out all the do's savings. There were no do savings. So there's one thing after another thing after another thing. And Jimmy, I'm curious, do you think that the Republicans, these hundred Republicans that would vote in favor, do you think they're doing that because they saw what just happened? Republicans lost? Or do you think this is, you know, like they're really making a stand? I don't think it helped. I don't think them losing helped. But I think that those losses were mostly over the health care cuts that Trump is implementing for workers. And when a lot of those are MAGA workers. And I think, I think that had a lot to do with it. And even Trump admitted that, that the, the shutdown hurt them, hurt the Republicans in the election. Trump. Trump said that. Known as the Epstein Files Transparency act, the bill aims to force the Justice Department to release all unclassified records, documents, communications and investigative materials linked to the pedo.
E
So.
A
Trump would also have to sign off on the release of the documents if it passes both the House and the Senate. Trump's handling of the issue has led in recent days to a public feud with Marjorie Taylor Greene, traditionally one of his fiercest proponents. The US President attended, attacked her on Friday, calling her wacky and a traitor, and suggested that she should be unseated in next year's election. Wow. Again, Trump, with the cartoon level of exaggeration, calling her a traitor. When you get on his bad side, he goes full ZO hyperbole on your ass. You know how wacky traitors are, right? What a bunch of goofballs those traitors are. Marjorie Taylor Greene, in turn, questioned whether Trump was still putting America first and said he was making an example of her to scare other Republicans away from voting in favor of the bill to discharge all the Epstein files. Meanwhile, the US Department of Justice has confirmed it will investigate Epstein's alleged links to major banks. Several prominent Democrats, including former President Clinton, Clinton also strongly denied he had any knowledge of Epstein crimes. Of course Clinton denied any knowledge of Epstein's crimes. He didn't know anything about it. He was too busy getting a back rub from a schoolgirl to pay attention. Kyle Griffin says Trump now says Republicans can vote to release the Epstein files. He never urged Republicans to support the discharge position petition. He never demanded Mike Johnson swear in Adelita Gravaglia. But now, after reports indicate 100 plus GOP ers are planning to support their release, he caves. So what that shows you is if you stick to the MAGA principles, Trump will cave. So Trump has been gaslighting MAGA since he became president. Trump, he's gaslighting them on H1B worker visas, screwing workers. He's gaslighting them on exploding the deficit and Doge, he's gaslighting them on being America first, he's Israel first, which is why he bombed Yemen and Iran. And he's still funding the genocide in Gaza and he's still funding Ukraine. The thing he's going to end in 24 hours. He's deporting students for writing. So anyway, it's over and that's it. Trump caves. Thomas Massie wins. Hey, you know, here's another great way you can help support the show is you become a premium member.

I just want to break down the unbelievable attacks that Donald Trump went on against Thomas Massie, Marjorie Taylor Greene over the Epstein files and how Trump has completely smashed maga. Trump revokes endorsement of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, labels her a traitor over the Epstein files. Yeah, and isn't it weird? As inconsistent as Trump can be, he still holds the line when it comes to deliberately looking like in Israel is making him do and say everything with his over the top hyperbole about Marjorie Taylor Greene. It's like he wants us to know he's completely under their control and he demonstrates it at every opportunity. It's like he says word for word what his handler tells him to rather than putting it in his own words. Here it is. I Am withdrawing my support and endorsement of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of the great state of Georgia. Over the past few weeks, despite my creating record achievements for our country, including blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. All I see is wacky Marjorie do is complain, complain, complain. It seems to all begin when I sent her a poll stating that she should not run for senator or governor. She was at 12% and didn't have a chance. Unless, of course, she had my endorsement, which she wasn't about to get. She was told many people, she has told many people that she is upset that I don't return her phone calls anymore. But with 219 Congresswoman Congressmen, women, 53 U.S. senators, 24 Cabinet members, almost 200 countries and. And an otherwise normal life to lead, I can't take a ranting lunatic's call every day.
B
Wow.
A
Okay. She is a raving lunatic, that Marjorie Taylor Green. Wanting to know what's in the Epstein files. That's the kind of curiosity that leads to investigating the Charlie Kirk assassination and the 911 and the butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt. You can't be asking questions and investigating things. You're not supposed to be curious. You're supposed to be distracted, scared and cloistered and immobile. That's what you're supposed to be. Here's what Marjorie Taylor Greene says back. President Trump just attacked me and lied about me. I haven't called him at all, but I did send these text messages today. Apparently, this is what sent him over the edge. The Epstein files. And of course, he's coming after me. Hard to make an example, to scare all the other Republicans before next week's vote to release the Epstein files. It's astonishing, really, how hard he's fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out, that he actually goes to this level. But really, most Americans wish he would fight this hard to help the forgotten men and women of America who are fed up with foreign wars and foreign causes and going broke trying to feed their families, and are losing hope of ever achieving the American dream. That's what I voted for. Yes, I have supported President Trump with too much of my precious time, too much of my own money, and fought harder for him, even when almost all other Republicans turned their back and denounced him. But I don't worship or serve Donald Trump. I worship God, Jesus as my savior, and I serve my district, GA 14, and the American People, I remain the same today as I've always been. And I will continue to pray this administration will be successful because the American people desperately deserve what they voted for. For me, I remain America first and America only. Nice. That's what I'd like to hear more representatives say. And for. And for those MAGA supporters who feel like the whole world is out to get them, we don't have time for your stuff anymore or dealing with you on any level because Donald Trump is the one who, who's out to get you, just like he's got to get Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie, Rand Paul. And here's the, here's the text messages. She says that, hey, check the flight logs of the Epstein plane. Bill Clinton is there like 26 times. Hillary, too. For many of us, releasing the Epstein files has always been for the women who were victims of Jeffrey Epstein. But also because we believe that Democrat bad guys like the Clintons who were entangled and involved with him. Epstein was the spider that wove the web of the deep state. Lean into it. That's what she texted him. I have, every single interview I have ever done, I have defended President Trump. I've said over and over that the woman say he did nothing wrong and their attorney says he's the only one who helped. And the Democrats had four years to release the files, but did nothing. Stop ignoring the women. Many of them literally voted for President Trump and say so publicly. Them being graped as teenagers is not a hoax. So I think that was a text to Trump's assistant. Has it ever occurred to you, Marjorie Taylor Greene, that maybe those pit the Clintons and all those people went on 20s, went on the Lolita Express 26 times because the chef on that plane makes a great flaming shrimp thing. That's worth a round trip. Unfortunately though, that chef drowned. But I'm sure the new one is just as good at everything, including swimming. Here she goes on ABC News, Marjorie Taylor Greene. Watch this. It's funny because Dana Bass thinks she's going to corner her. And Marjorie Taylor Greene Jiu Jitsu's her. Watch this.
D
Ask you about something you posted just yesterday on X.
A
You questioned who and what country is.
D
Putting so much pressure on Trump to.
A
Keep the Epstein files hidden.
D
And you included a picture about donations from perfect pro Israel lobbying group aipac.
A
What are you trying to say there?
F
Well, I think it's a question that many Americans are asking, especially when we saw information recently come out in these emails that the oversight committee that I serve on has released. And we saw Jeffrey Epstein with ties to Ehud Barak. We saw him making business deals with them. Also business deals that involved the Israeli government and seems to have led into their intel agencies. And I think the right question is to ask is, was Jeffrey Epstein working for Israel? And I'm proud to say I don't take money from aipac. I don't take money from any special group of people. I'm just representing my district.
A
No, she's an AIPAC stooge. Not Marjorie Taylor Greene, but Dana Bash. So that's why she looks so upset.
F
Right now than the American people. And so that's what I was referring to.
A
There you go. There you go. Two blonde girls getting into a fight. America. F. Yeah. Am I right? Come on. It's like we're at Disney Orlando. So Trump appears to mock Representative Thomas Massie's remarriage. In a true social post, President Donald Trump appeared to mock him at his remarriage to someone named Carolyn Grace Muffa over a year after Massey's wife's death in June of 2023. So a year and a half later, the guy gets remarried. Guys don't do well alone. All his kids are grown. He was with his wife for 35 years. Guys don't do well alone. He got remarried a year and a half after I say good for him. In a post on Truth, Trump criticized the Kentucky congressman's decision to remarry and question the timing of his new marriage. Really? Well, coming from Donald Trump, it's like Ben Shapiro accusing you of emotionally manipulating the audience with your agenda. There it is. Did Thomas Massie, sometimes referred to as Rand Paul Jr because of the fact that he always votes against the Republican Party, get married already. Boy, that was quick. No wonder the polls have him in. Less than 8% chance of winning in the election. Anyway, have a great life, Thomas. And I guess that's his new wife. His wife will soon find out that she's stuck with a loser. Well, it sounds like Donald Trump is the loser in the Epstein files saga because Thomas Massie has over 100 Republicans to join him to force Donald Trump's administration to release the Epstein files. Now who's the loser? Now who's the winner? So, yikes. Look at the community note on Trump's post about Massie. So there's a community note. You want to see it? It says Massie's wife passed away on June of 2024, having been married for over 30 years and having four children together. He married Carolyn Grace Mafa, a former staffer for Senator rand Paul on October 19, 2025. Whoa. Okay, so loser, loser. This is, this is far beyond politics. Massie married his high school sweetheart. They were together since he was 16 for over 35 years. Went to MIT together. Mother of his four kids mocking someone that got a second chance after losing all that f this guy. That's Trump's base turning on him. Here's what Glenn Greenwald said about it. Also, Trump's mocking Massie for remarrying quick after his wife of many decades passed away is disgusting, particularly for someone who's on his third marriage and started those affairs and many others while still married to his prior wife at home with his young kids. Yeah, well said, Glenn. James Lee. So here's Laura Loomer. Serious question and serious answers only. How did Representative Thomas Massey's wife die? Is there a police report? Is there an autopsy? Why is there such a mystery? I'd like to know. I find it to be so bizarre and I always have. Now there's so much. There's a much younger woman in the picture. Wow. So Laura Loomer apparently has a cheekbone to pick with Thomas Massie, if you know what I'm talking about. James Lee, friend of the show, says Laura Loomer is now implying that Thomas Massie killed his wife under the guise of just asking questions. Meanwhile, she's been having a full on crash out over people asking questions about Charlie, Kirk and Epstein. You really have to wonder who she actually works for. Well, Israel, that's my guess. Sabby Sab says here's Trump mocking Thomas Massie for getting remarried after his wife died. Trump is sinking like the Titanic. Titanic. Makes me wonder if this is all a ploy to get J.D. vance in his seat so Vance can ramp up the old surveillance state. Huh? Here is. And. And just a little reminder that all of our surveillance state, everywhere around the world has one single purpose, to notify the elites when everyone has woken up to what they do to our children. At which point they have to go underground in their bunkers and flatten the surface. Here. Representative Massie says his showdown with Donald Trump traces back to the three pro Israel billionaires with Epstein ties who are now bankrolling his opponent to push him out of politics. Massie. So here he is. Let's listen.
C
The President has gone after you in some deeply personal ways. I mean, attacking you over and over again, even attacking you regarding your wedding, your recent wedding, which, by the way, congratulations. What do you make of all that? And he's obviously supporting your primary opponents. I mean, what kind of retribution are you facing?
D
You know, my wife told me, she said, I told you so. We should have invited Donald Trump. He's mad that he didn't get an invitation. So, you know, we're taking it with a grain of salt. He's being a bully or trying to be a bully, and they're trying to beat me here in Kentucky. But here's what's interesting. The people financing this campaign consists completely of three billionaires, and they're all in the Epstein class. In fact, one of them is named in Epstein's phone book. Not the secret files that the FBI is keeping, but in Epstein's phone book. So it's a small world. Dogs don't bark at parked cars. And we are winning. I'm not tired of winning yet, but we are winning. And not only the speaker, but the attorney general, the FBI director and, and the president himself and the vice president, they're taking a big loss this week because after months of fighting, I am winning this week with Ro Khanna. We're forcing this vote and it's going to happen. I would remind my Republican colleagues who are deciding how to vote. Donald Trump can protect you in red districts right now by giving you an endorsement. But in 2030, he's not going to be the president and you will have voted to protect pedophiles. If you don't vote to release these files and the president can't protect you, then this, this vote, the record of this vote will last longer than Donald Trump's presidency.
A
As I said already in another segment, Donald Trump already can't protect them. Donald Trump just lost to Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie. They beat Trump. Trump in 10 months is already wrecked his political capital and he's done it because he's gone against his agenda. What he ran on, he, he ran. He ran as America first. He's Israel first. He already bombed Yemen and Iran for Israel. He's still funding Ukraine war. He's still funding the genocide in Gaza. He's now trying to. He's bombing Venezuela. He's starting another regime change war. He sided with Viveka Vamaswamy against American workers and is importing H1B visa workers by the tens of thousand. Hundreds of thousands, millions. Who knows? He's exploding the deficit while making no cuts. The dose cuts were all fake. He didn't cut any of that money from the budget. He just gave it to the Pentagon. And now they're doing all that stuff and including expanding their surveillance state. The Pentagon that can't pass an audit. He gave him 200 billion more. So he's wrecked it. There's, there's in every way possible, he's wrecked it and he's lost. And so Thomas Massie is wrong there. It's not, we don't have to wait for 2030. It's already happened. Thomas Massey's already got the Republicans to vote against Donald Trump over the Epstein files to the point where Donald Trump had to cave and pretend like he wanted this all along. And guess what? Donald Trump takes $230 million from APAC. Roger Taylor Green 0. Isn't that interesting? Isn't that interesting? So what, that Israel gave Donald Trump $230 million. It's not like he's giving, it's not like they're giving him any of our money. Oh, wait, Here's Thomas Massie. Thomas Massie, zero from APAC. Donald Trump, 230 million from APAC. So when you, so when Donald Trump calls somebody a loser, what he's, what he's saying is they didn't take the bribe from aipac. That's what he's saying. Losing out on the opportunity to portray your own base. And here is Speaker Johnson and listen to what he has to say about this Epstein petition.
B
I want to say this tonight, and I think this is a shame to a lot of the Hill press corps. I'm not going to name any of you by name, but I haven't seen many stories written yet about the fact that we put the discharge up for unanimous consent on the floor tonight. The Republicans, I, the Speaker and the Republicans asked for unanimous consent to just go ahead and pass the discharge because I think it's a moot point. The Democrats objected to the, to the unanimous consent. Nobody's written a story about that. That's stunning to me. How can you miss that if it.
A
I'm doing a story on it. I've seen lots of other people do stories on it. And the reason why they don't want you to slide a unanimous consent through because they want everybody on record. They want the Republicans on record for voting. That's what it's clear as day. That's what they want and they're going to get it. And he's trying to pretend like, why, why wouldn't you give a unanimous catheter? Jonathan D. Pratt says it would not have required the members to go on record. So. I don't know what that means. I don't know why that's in there. But anyway, there you go. That's how Donald Trump attacks his his base tries to gaslight them. Anybody who's actually true to what Donald Trump actually ran on, he will try to slander in the worst way possible. He'll, he'll even have his cronies and accused Thomas Massie of killing his own wife. That's how calling Marjorie Taylor Greene Marjorie Taylor Greene. Let's Remember who takes zero money from APAC. He takes 230 million. So he's Israel first. Calls her a traitor. Everybody saw through it. Everybody sees through it. Everybody knows Donald Trump is Israel first. And if the election was today, this November instead of last November, Donald Trump would not get elected. Donald Trump would not get elected. So that's Donald Trump attacking Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of his most ardent supporters, for doing something she's supposed to do. It looks like the the this vote by Thomas Massie and Rona is going to be performative because Trump is going to go ahead and redact everything and not release it. That seems to be his plan. And that's exactly what I thought when I heard that he was telling them to vote the Republicans to vote for it. That's exactly what I thought. And so my spidey senses, I think are right. We're going to find out. We'll find out if my spidey senses are right. So we know Trump has caved and he has told the Republicans to go ahead and vote for the Epstein release of the Epstein files because he knows he lost that fight and over 100 Republicans were going to join Democrats in voting for it. And so he didn't want to seem like the big loser that he is on this. And so now he's pretending he's for it. But spoiler alert as just as I suspected, Trump has a plan to not release them even if it gets voted on and they vote to just to release all the files and the Senate votes for it and Trump signs it. Even if this passes, Trump has a plan to not to block it. Trump's dramatic U turn accidentally revealed secret plan to block Epstein files I don't know about the word dramatic because I find it comedic. Trump's comedic U turn because that's what this is. President Trump called on House Republican Sunday to vote in favor of releasing files on Jeffrey Epstein. But according to journalist Adam Cochran, he may have also accidentally revealed a plan to block their release on his social media platform, Truth Social. Trump called on GOP lawmakers to vote to release the Epstein files, writing that the House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to. It's this phrasing that Cochran highlights as a recourse. So he's going to say, sure, you could have anything you want that you're legally entitled to. It's just that you're not legally entitled to any of this stuff that I don't want to release. This is, this is called 13D chess. This is what he's supposed to be playing. So here's Adam Cochran. He says the oversight committee is allowed to get information from the Department of Justice on active cases that the rest of Congress cannot get. But a number of different rules allow the Department of Justice to withhold information at their discretion without even informing oversight. Rule 6e of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedures, for example, limits how materials and discussions before a grand jury can be shared. Exceptions exist for law enforcement matters, but not for the Oversight Committee. Huh. Executive privilege lets them withhold anything they believe is required to protect sources and methods, witnesses and identity identities, deliberative and strategic documents or internal Department of Justice com communications. So they can, they're going to block all of it. That's why Trump flipped. This is his secret place. I, I, I, as soon as Trump flipped, I'm like, oh, he's got a plan. And here it is. This is the plan. And this, this even rules, this even overrules a congressional subpoena unless Congress can prove to the Supreme Court extraordinary need, by the way. So they have to, they can, they have. They're required to protect sources, which becomes very complicated when your sources are actually the crooks. There's a little bit more. And 50 USC blah blah blah, FOIA exemption so allows them to withhold over so they have an exemption. There's a rule that allows them to redact or withhold investigative notes, identifying information, evidence. So if we don't know who the people are, what's the point of the Epstein files? The whole point of the Epstein files is so you know who the blackmailed pedos are who are running the the world. Basically, not only our country. They can redact evidence, files, charging memos, classified intelligence, evidence gathered by intelligence sources, evidence gathered by cooperating witnesses or co conspirators, agent notes, internal deliberations, primary visual materials like photos and videos, anything that could reveal the identity of a victim or, or a witness. Wow. And considering that all the perps are posing as victims, it's even more complicated. So by saying oversight can have what they are legally entitled to, which is what Trump said. Trump is saying he intends to have the Department of Justice provide oversight selective files. So the oversight committee, they're going to provide selective files to the oversight Committee and withhold the rest under active investigation of terms, possibly without even revealing that to the oversight. So that's. So that that word oversight is the perfect because it means a grand scale mistake. That's what I think. If Trump's plan works, Department of Justice would give oversight selected files, but there would be no video or photo evidence. The Department of Justice could redact any names that they want, Department of Justice could fully withhold entire files and the Department of Justice would not even acknowledge that the files even existed. The ones that they're withholding. Okay, wow. So basically Lucy just placed a football in front of Charlie Brown and Charlie Brown will going to run at it and try to take a kick. Just as she pulls the ball away again and lands on his back again. By the way, we are Charlie Brown in this analogy. So we think we're going to get those Epstein files and boop. Trump pulls the. He is Lucy. We are Charlie Brown and he pulls the football away at the last minute. That's what's happening. This battle will likely go to the Supreme Court where Congress would then need to argue that the investigation cannot relate to old files. As Bondi said, those old files had no sufficient evidence to charge individuals, so their seal should only apply to new evidence. Okay, so basically, basically nothing's going to happen again. So Trump is not. So basically this, he's pulling the football away, but the true believers aren't going to notice anything. There. But there exists a separate effort to release files on Epstein, one spearheaded by blah blah, blah, blah, blah, that could compel the Department of Justice to release all of its files on Epstein. A trove of documents that would likely include far more information on the disgraced financier and his any co conspirators. So that's Trump's big idea. So you would think that Congress could compel them to release them. You would think. But I have a feeling, according as so does that reporter Cochran, that Trump is is going to use all these other legal arguments to say that they have to redact all the information we actually want. So now you know the rest of the story. So it looks like the, the, this vote by Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna is going to be performative because Trump is going to go ahead and redact everything and not release it. That seems to be his plan. And that's exactly what I thought when I heard that he was telling them to vote the Republicans to vote for it. That's exactly what I thought. And so my spidey senses I think are Right. We're gonna find out. We'll find out. If my spidey senses are right. They've been pretty, pretty on the nose when it came to Covid, the vaccine lockdowns, when it came to masks, when it came to Fauci, when it came to Russiagate, when it came to Syria, Seth Rich, Ukraine, war, Ben Brighton. Spot on. Spot on. Okay, so we'll see what happens. That's. That's Trump's plan. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this?
E
What's up, Good sir, it's J.D. vance.
A
Ah, Mr. Vice President. How are you?
E
Honestly, I've been better. They're ending the government shutdown. So now all these people are back and it's like, like super noisy around here, and all of a sudden I do stuff. So that sort of sucks.
A
I'm sorry to hear that, buddy. Sorry to hear it.
E
Thanks, man. I appreciate that. You've always been really cool to me, man. I won't forget that.
A
Okay, well, I guess let's address the elephant in the room. What's the buzz in the House regarding the release of the emails which indicate Donald Trump was aware of Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking ring?
E
I don't really think it's a big deal at all, honestly. Definitely not an elephant in the room type deal. More like a large turtle in the room. Like, yeah, the turtle is there, but we don't have to talk about it. You know, maybe just like, wait, how did that get in here? As opposed to an elephant? Which is like, yeah, you definitely have to talk about that.
A
You really don't think this is a big deal?
E
Not really. Not really. I mean, look, it's clearly a ploy, just one more dirty tactic that the Democrat Party is using to smear the President with this Epstein thing. It's really just shameful. And you know that they had this at the ready and they waited right until the shutdown was over and then scummily released these emails, just like we would have done.
A
Whatever political tactic may have lain between their release. These emails are still real and still damning.
E
Well, we're going to go with fake news because that has literally always worked for us, has never failed.
A
Mr. Vice President, in one email to Michael Wolff, Epstein said that Trump, quote, knew about the girls.
E
Yeah. Okay, well, Jimmy, what's the next part? The part that follows says, quote, as he asked Ghislaine to stop. So even if the President knew about these teen prostitutes, which he didn't, because it's fake news, he asked the second in command to stop the Prostitution. Showing that even before he was president, Donald Trump was fighting crime. These emails show that he's a hero. Actually, he's the good guy.
A
Yeah. Look, I'm sorry, Mr. Vice President, but you're gonna have to choose one of these options. Either Trump didn't know and this is fake news, or two, Trump knew and then he tried to stop it. He can't not know about it. Go ahead.
E
Right. I mean, I know you'd think that, but amazingly, we won't have to choose. We can go with an amalgam of both, and our supporters will buy it.
A
That's amazing.
E
It really kind of is, isn't it?
A
So this isn't ruffling any feathers in the West Wing, then?
E
Nope. Like I said, large turtle. I mean, when are people going to learn? Nothing is going to make the President lose his support among his political fans, because that's what they are. And. And therefore, among Republican politicians, there could be a 4K video of Donald Trump sleeping with Epstein victims, and his fans would say, hell, yeah, he's banging a hot 17 year old. That's something I wish I could do. That's awesome. Trump is awesome. Do you see?
A
I guess so.
E
So, yeah, large turtle, not even worth talking about. Just slowly shoo it out of the room.
A
That's pretty messed up.
E
Well, I don't know why you think that the turtle would probably prefer to be outside anyway.
A
No, no, not the metaphor. The fact that even hard proof of Trump's involvement with Epstein crimes wouldn't even move the needle.
E
Oh, right. Well, whatever. I mean, obviously, for me, this is a trickier sitch than for most people.
A
Why is that?
E
Well, apparently Marco Rubio has conceded in private that as of now, I'm probably the top contender for 2028. So that means for me, some pretty tricky political calculations.
A
Oh, fill me in. What are those?
E
Well, I know this sounds insane, but just because Trump will get away with him being part of a teen prostitution ring, that doesn't mean that I will. Meaning people will be mad about Epstein all over again after Trump isn't running. And I will have to distance myself from Trump's actions without distancing myself from Trump himself, because I'll need his endorsement.
A
Yeah, you're right. That does sound insane.
E
I know, dude, I love it so much, especially since I figured all this out better than anybody in my party.
A
You really have, haven't you?
E
Oh, absolutely. For sure. I'm a craven opportunist, not an actual ideologue. And one thing is that you have to learn from Democrat mistakes too. Like Kamala Harris. From her, you have to learn how to not be the worst candidate in the history of the universe.
A
That's an important lesson.
E
It really is. And with her, it's two big ones. First, don't be wine drunk and zanned out all the time in public. But more importantly, if you need to distance yourself from your predecessor, do it. Especially if it's on issues of literal genocide or statutory rape of teen prostitutes.
A
Crucial to do so.
E
Oh, for sure, for sure. And Trump will understand that I have to do that. He'll know that for his political legacy to go on, he has to let me say, teen prostitution is not something I approve of. He's not going to whine about it and torpedo me like old ass narcissist Joe Biden.
A
I see, I see. Yeah. Huh.
E
So, yeah, basically I just got to keep my head down for the next three years, which will be crazy. Take credit for the good stuff, distance from the bad, and I'll pretty much be the next president.
A
How exciting for you guys.
E
Thank you.
A
Well, I'm off.
E
This big Maha summit they're doing. No press, just me and Dr. Oz and RFK Jr. And health influencers. We're going to learn all about health and stuff from like neuralink people, tech gurus who want to live forever. No actual doctors, but biohackers will be there. I don't know really what that is, but I want to learn. Russell Brand is going to deliver a quote eloquent rants before RFK gives his keynote speech. Those aren't my words. Those are in the description of the event. So that'll be awesome for sure. I'm not sure if I'd want to live forever, but maybe I could be president forever if I did. I definitely want Usha to live forever because if she died, she'd go to hell because she's a Muslim or Hindu or whatever. You do sort of eat God with immortality, I guess. Anyway, bye, Jimmy.

Episode: Trump's EPIC Flip-Flop On Epstein Files Is Huge Win For Thomas Massie!
Date: November 19, 2025
Host: Jimmy Dore
This episode centers on former President Donald Trump’s dramatic reversal regarding the release of the Epstein files, a cache of investigative documents related to the late Jeffrey Epstein. After previously dismissing demands to disclose these files as a Democratic distraction, Trump abruptly called on House Republicans to vote for their public release. Jimmy Dore sees this as a "huge win" for Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), one of the main proponents of transparency on the Epstein matter, and as evidence that Trump's hegemony over the MAGA movement and GOP is fracturing. The episode dissects the implications for party power struggles, internal cult-like loyalty, and the performative nature of DC’s transparency battles.
“He’s being a bully, or trying to be a bully, and they’re trying to beat me here in Kentucky. But... the people financing this campaign consist completely of three billionaires, and they’re all in the Epstein class.” (12:17-12:45)
“In ten months, Trump has completely wrecked his coalition, wrecked MAGA, wrecked his power. It’s over…” (15:57)
“But I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump... I remain the same today as I’ve always been. And I will continue to pray this administration will be successful because the American people desperately deserve what they voted for.” (27:07)
| Timestamp | Speaker | Quote/Insight | |-----------|---------|---------------| | 03:00 | Jimmy Dore | “Trump is a lot like the weather in Florida: if you don’t like the weather, just wait a minute.” | | 05:10 | Jimmy Dore | “Being loyal to a politician is called a cult. That’s what a cult does.” | | 12:45 | Thomas Massie | “The people financing this campaign consist completely of three billionaires, and they’re all in the Epstein class.”| | 13:48 | Thomas Massie | “If you don’t vote to release these files... this vote, the record of this vote will last longer than Donald Trump’s presidency.” | | 24:11 | Trump (quoted) | “All I see is wacky Marjorie do is complain, complain, complain.” | | 27:07 | Marjorie Taylor Greene | “But I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump... I remain America first and America only.” | | 36:44 | Jimmy Dore | “So when Donald Trump calls someone a loser, what he’s saying is they didn’t take the bribe from AIPAC.” | | 54:12 | “J.D. Vance” | “There could be a 4K video of Donald Trump sleeping with Epstein victims, and his fans would say, hell, yeah, he’s banging a hot 17-year-old… Trump is awesome. Do you see?” |
Jimmy Dore maintains his signature irreverent, sardonic, and passionate tone throughout. The exchanges are blunt, laced with dark humor, and openly critical of both party establishments, while Dore’s allegiances align with transparency and populist principles. The show leans into performative outrage, biting satire (especially in the “J.D. Vance” segment), and pointed personal commentary on figures across the spectrum.
This episode positions Trump’s high-profile reversal as a seismic shift revealing fracture not just in the Republican Party, but in MAGA’s foundational trust. Jimmy Dore argues that MAGA’s core now seeks principle over personality, and that old party threats and intimidation fall flat. However, Dore remains deeply skeptical about actual transparency, suspecting that both parties—and Trump in particular—will ultimately obstruct real accountability on the Epstein files. The spectacle, he suggests, is as much about performative politics and gaslighting as genuine reform or justice.
