MATT WALSH show New revelations from the Epstein files raise more questions than they answer. There are a whole lot of strange coincidences surrounding Epstein's death in his jail cell. The story just went from weird to weirder and we will discuss. Also, Muslim terrorists attacked demonstrators in New York. Mamdani says the real problem is Islamophobia, as you might have guessed. And have chatbots already gained consciousness? One CEO says they might have. Talk about all that and more today in the Matt wa. Over the weekend, reports started circulating about one of the prison guards who was on duty the night that Jeffrey Epstein died. The report mentioned strange Google searches and mysterious cash deposits. So I decided to look into it. And, you know, the doj, of course, released a batch of Epstein files a few weeks ago. But as a practical matter, it has been impossible for anyone to go through all those files in a timely fashion. There's a lot of information to sift through and as a result, some very important stuff has been missed. So today we're going to go through some of that information and what it means. Most of the revelations concern this security guard who was who was assigned to guard Epstein was later charged in federal court for falsifying her logs. And as we talk about all this, we're going to be thorough and we're going to include all the relevant context and document IDs and everything else. That's not simply because the new revelations are genuinely important and disturbing, although they absolutely are. It's also because whatever you may personally think of the Epstein files, this is a legitimately very important political issue. Also, it's probably the one news event of the past year that's broken containment and made it onto the radar of almost every normal person in the country. Even the war in Iran hasn't quite done that, at least not to this point, not to the same extent. So if you care about who controls the US Government and you should, then this story simply cannot be ignored. We'll start with a very conspicuous subpoena that was issued to 4chan, the social media site. And in case you're not familiar with it, 4chan is basically a free fire zone. It's a forum for memes, commentary, pranks, etc. To give one example of 4chan's influence, you might remember that a few years ago, leftists were freaking out about the okay hand sign, saying that it was a, you know, a secret symbol of white supremacy. And a lot of people got fired over it. It was a whole thing. Well, in reality, it was a 4chan hoax. 4chan users deliberately set out to convince the media that Nazis were, you know, doing this, were making the okay hand sign, and the media took the bait. So put another way, 4chan generally isn't taken seriously as a credible source of information. A lot of content on 4chan is trolling or intentionally deceptive, just meant to be funny. But just days after Jeffrey Epstein was reportedly found dead in his prison cell, the federal government began taking 4chan very seriously indeed. In particular, the Southern district of New York, probably the Most high powered U.S. attorney's office in the country, obtained a grand jury subpoena seeking information from 4chan, and the site complied. This is from the Epstein files, document 133350. Quote, Pursuant to a federal grand jury subpoena served by the Southern district of New York. 4chan provided the attached response dated August 14, 2019. And here's the information that 4chan provided. And as you can see, there are some IP addresses that were blacked out. There are identities, or at least the virtual identities of the people who made various 4chan posts on the morning of of August 10th of 2019, the date that Epstein died, which are also blacked out. And there's also the text of one of those posts which the federal government was especially interested in. Here's what the post said, said this, quote, not saying anything after this. Please do not try to dox me. But last night, after 0415 count, they took him medical in a wheelchair, front cuffed, but not one triage nurse says they spoke to him. Next thing we know, a trip van shows up. We do not do releases on the weekends unless a judge orders it. Next thing we know, he's put in a single man cell and hangs himself. Here's the thing, the trip van did not sign in and we did not record the plate number. And a guy in a green dress military outfit was in the back of the van. According to the tower guy who led him through the gate? You guys, I am shaking right now, but I think they switched him out. Now, by itself, this post in a vacuum is not particularly credible. Anyone could have written it. But the fact that the Southern District of New York then demanded more information about the person who wrote this post by itself raises a lot of questions. Again, 4chan is littered with nonsense posts and trolling and all kinds of outlandish claims. The Southern District of New York obviously doesn't subpoena every single one of them. They took an interest in this post possibly because they recognized that there might be some truth to it. I mean, if. If there were things in the post that were true and that nobody would know unless they were there, then it would make sense why they subpoenaed it. If it's just totally outlandish and. And not related to the facts at all, then doesn't really make any sense why they would and. But they wanted to know exactly who wrote it. On August 14, 4chan told the government what it knew. All the organizations, including AT&T, were apparently subpoenaed for the same purpose. Relating to this post online. Various people have speculated that indeed a prison guard wrote that post. Now, we don't have proof of that at the moment, nor do we know which guard might have written it, but on August 19, an assistant US state's attorney in the Southern District of New York sent the following email to a redacted individual and it reads, quote, here are the subpoena returns we've received. Don't worry about the 4chan records or the subpoenas related to IP information. Now, it's not clear why exactly the AUSA would say that. Maybe they decided not to follow up on the 4chan lead after all. Maybe they wanted to end the investigation for some other reason. We have no idea. But lurking in this same Epstein file dump, the one that was released a few weeks ago, you'll find the following information about Epstein's security guards, what they were doing on the night that he reportedly died. And this was first uncovered by the New York Post. It's a readout of the activity on the computer of 37 year old Tova Noel, who was one of the two Metropolitan Correctional center workers who was accused of falsifying records to indicate that they had done their rounds on the day Epstein died, when in fact they had not. And as you can see, there's a bunch of Google searches about furniture and law enforcement discounts and federal government jobs. She also ran a Google search for EPP at 4.31am as well as a search for Unum Insurance. At 4.36am, Unam Insurance mainly sells disability and life insurance. And then at 5:42am According to these records, Tova searched Google for the phrase latest on Epstein in jail. And then less than a minute later, she searched Google for latest on Omar Amanat, who's an entrepreneur who was sentenced for federal prison to federal prison for conspiracy in the Southern District of New York, likely in the same facility. And then at 5:52am, Nova Tova Noel was back to searching about Epstein. And once again she asked Google for, quote, latest on Epstein in jail. Now, the timing of that last search is significant because it's less than 40 minutes before Tova Noel's colleague, a correction officer named Michael Thomas, found Epstein dead in his cell. Thomas had also been on Google, but he was mostly searching about motorcycles and didn't search for anything about Epstein. Now, in 2020, 21, Noel denied running the Google searches. Here's what she said in a sworn statement to the doj. Quote, I don't remember doing that. I don't recall looking him up. Now, of course, it's possible that this is coincidental. Maybe she was just googling names of high profile inmates that she's supervising to learn more about them. Maybe it was a way of passing the time. So she didn't even remember doing it. But it does seem strange to me, to me anyway, that not just the timing, but the fact that she searched for latest on Epstein in jail rather than latest on Epstein or information on Epstein or something like that. Now I could see why she would want to find news about Epstein himself if she was curious about who he was and why he was in jail. But why did she want news on Epstein in jail? Why did she want news from the jail where she works about Epstein? That that seems pretty weird. And things get a lot more difficult to explain. A lot weirder when you look at this FBI 302, which is a document the FBI prepares after an interview where they recap what they heard. It's a handwritten page report from the FBI in which the agency interviews an inmate at the same facility where Epstein died. The interview is conducted two weeks after Epstein died. And according to the 302, which was first reported by reporter Julie Brown, the Miami Herald reporter who helped break open the Epstein story, the inmate says that he overheard a prison guard and others talking about covering up Epstein's death. In particular, the inmate claims that he heard an officer say, dudes, you killed that dude. And then a female guard states, if he's dead. We're going to cover it up, and he's going to have an alibi. My officers. Now, the inmate also said that in the prison, other inmates would say that Ms. Noel killed Jeffrey. Now, keep in mind, this was months before Noel was was charged with falsifying records. In Epstein's case, that didn't happen until November. So for whatever reason, Tova Noel, not her colleague, who was regarding the same cell, was attracting attention from the inmates. Now, again, look at everything in a vacuum. Look at this little detail in a vacuum. You could write this off as a coincidence. Maybe Toba Noel is just a lazy, unethical guard who was very curious about Epstein right before he died. And maybe the inmates are just making things up. I mean, that's entirely possible under the circumstances. Inmates are criminals. Criminals are liars. Many of them are pathological liars. You could argue that, you know, her literally saying out loud, we need to cover this up, was a little on the nose. But you start looking at all these things together just gets harder and harder to write off as coincidence. And it gets even more tenuous when you look at Noel's Chase bank records, which are also included in the Epstein file dump that was released a few weeks ago. It turns out that Noel had begun depositing thousands of dollars in her Chase account in the weeks leading up to Epstein's death. Now, of course, without context, that doesn't sound very suspicious. There's plenty of reasons why somebody might deposit accounts, thousands of dollars in an account. Now, it's not that much money, and without context, we have no idea. But banks, for the most part, do have context. They have a lot of context, and they know how much this woman typically deposits in her account, where it comes from. They have all kinds of sophisticated systems that could determine whether transactions could be related to money laundering or fraud or criminal activity. They can detect when people are trying to avoid mandatory disclosures to the IRS by spreading out a large deposit across several small payments. And with all that information in mind, Chase bank, independent of any of this, decided that Noel's deposits were suspicious enough to report to the federal government. So, for a lot of people, a $5,000 deposit would not be weird for her compared to her normal banking activity. This was weird, and that's why it was flagged. This is from the doj, and it was first flagged by the Post. And. And here's how they report on the findings. Quote, chase bank flagged cash deposits in Noel's bank account in a suspicious activity report to the FBI in November. 2019. Another file from the DOJ revealed a total of 12 deposits began in April 2018, the bank said, and culminated in the largest deposit for $5,000 on July 30, according to the records. 2019. The files only contain Noel's bank records. Beginning in December 2018, they show seven cash deposits totaling $11,880. Noel started working at the special housing unit where Epstein had been held beginning on July 7, 2019, just weeks before her death. Noel, who drove a $62,000 2019 Land Rover Range Rover, wasn't asked about the cash during her DOJ interview, record show. So those unusual deposits totaled over $10,000, but no individual deposit was over $10,000 itself. That's often a tactic that criminals will use in an attempt to stay under the $10,000 mandatory disclosure limit, which is why banks usually flag those transactions. Does this mean that the prison guard is a criminal? No, it doesn't necessarily. The DOJ never charged Toba Noel with fraud or conspiracy or money laundering or anything else. The DOJ also dropped the charges against her for falsifying records. Now, if you're the cynical type, you might conclude that she's being protected for some reason. It's also possible that she's innocent of any wrongdoing, aside from being an incompetent prison guard. We don't know. Even so, if you. If you tend to take things at face value and you don't look at each of these individual things in a vacuum, but you look at them all together, here's where we stand. To recap, the prison guard who lied about checking on Epstein every 30 minutes, which was her job, also coincidentally received a series of deposits in the weeks prior to Epstein's death, which were so unusual that our bank reported them to the authorities. Additionally, this guard was coincidentally named by inmates as somebody who may have been involved in killing Epstein or covering up his whereabouts. And on top of that, the guard was coincidentally searching Google for information about Epstein less than an hour before his body was discovered. Oh, and while all this was going on, two cameras in front of Epstein's cell coincidentally happened to malfunction, while another camera had footage that was, quote, unquote, unusable. And although Epstein had been placed on suicide watch in July, he was coincidentally taken off suicide watch shortly before his death after a, quote, high level psychologist stepped in and gave him the all clear. Now, I'm not being sarcastic when I say that indeed, this could be a string of coincidences. Unusual events happen all the time. Sometimes multiple unusual events happen at the same time. But this is a lot. This is a lot of coincidence piled on top of each other. You know, we have kind of a Jenga tower of coincidence at this point, which feels very tenuous and unstable. So, based on the facts that we have been presented, we are, at a minimum, entitled to know some additional information. First of all, the DOJ needs to tell us the identity of that 4chan poster. We need to know who exactly was talking about swapping out Jeffrey Epstein the night he died. At a minimum, we need to know whether it was one of the guards, and if so, which one. And we also need to know why the Southern District of New York stopped looking into the 4chan post as soon as the subpoena came back. We also need to learn who sent those deposits to Tova Noel and what action the government took, if any, after receiving the alert from Chase. Why exactly did Chase flag the transactions as suspicious? And how many other times did Tova Noel search Google for information about Jeffrey Epstein? Did she only start searching for information about him on the night he died? None of this information should be hidden from the public. But the federal government, by dropping the criminal case against Tova Noel, ensured that the information will be extremely difficult to obtain. So the official narrative is all we can get. We're left to speculate about how Jeffrey Epstein could have fractured multiple bones and started hemorrhaging from his eyes while hanging himself, which is, quote, extremely unusual, as the physician hired by Epstein's estate put it. And there's one other element that's. That's, you know, of these files. It's worth talking about for a moment because, as I said, there's. And this is part of the problem. There's tons of information flooding out, and some of it is very credible or potentially credible. Some of it is not. So there's also, at the same time all this stuff about the prison guard is coming out. People are talking about it. There is. The media is making a big deal about the alleged revelation that in these files, Trump was accused of, quote, hitting a schoolgirl who refused to carry out a sex act on him, as the Daily Mail put it. And according to the Post and Courier, which is a South Carolina newspaper, quote, using archived government records and news accounts, the Poster Courier found that the woman provided verifiable details to agents about her family background and its legal entanglement. She offered the name of an Epstein business associate on Hilton Head island who became a central figure in the drama, with specifics that are reflected in public records. That's the third paragraph. Of the story. Keep going. Here's paragraph number eight, quote of the details the Post and Courier found, supported by public records, none related directly to the alleged victim's claims about Trump. So, in other words, there's nothing to substantiate the claim whatsoever. Although it pains the media to admit it, if you page through the Epstein files, you'll find dozens of wild accusations against all sorts of prominent figures. And these allegations mostly come from people who are clearly unwell, with no evidence to support what they're saying at all. So whatever you may have heard about this particular claim, there's nothing to distinguish it from all those other allegations in this case. When investigators asked the woman for more detail, she refused to elaborate and broke off contact with the investigators entirely, according to the Daily Mail. So this was no. No bombshell revelation by any stretch of the imagination. It's not even a credible allegation, unlike the revelations about the prison guard. And this is the key is. Is distinguishing between these things. Revelation about the prison guard based around verifiable facts, bank deposits. That's a fact. Google searches. That's a fact. The claims about the. About the. The cameras outside the cell, all of that stuff. And it certainly. And I also want to mention this, it certainly isn't proof that Trump launched the Iran war to distract from Epstein, which is something I'm hearing a lot lately. The. And again, this is. This is part of the. Part of the. The trouble here is, is talking about the Epstein files and staying focused on the things that are actually credible and that we need to explore further. We need more answers about, you know, the idea that the President is willing to tank the economy, sacrifice American soldiers, potentially destabilize the entire world. Also, that he can distract people from the Epstein files is. Is something you see circulating online. I'm obviously a critic of the war, but I get very tired of this kind of midwit slop analysis which you hear with anything these days. Like, anytime there's a new news event that happens. The. The immediate analysis from the peanut gallery on social media is, this is a distraction. This is all about distracting us. Now, the fact of the matter is that everybody is distracted all the time anyway. It's a farce to suggest that the government has to plot elaborate diversions so that people don't fixate on one particular news story. A video of a monkey with a stuffed animal has been enough to distract people for weeks, as recent events have shown. I mean, frankly, the monkey video probably distracted more people than the war in Iran. If you don't live in the D.C. bubble or on X, then you'll find most people aren't actually spending much time thinking about Iran at this point. I mean, if the government really wanted to create a diversion to distract us, they don't need anything elaborate. I mean, they could just, for instance, like, give a Nerf gun to a panda bear and post the video. That would be enough to dominate our algorithms for the next six weeks. So the idea that an entire war was launched is nothing but a distraction is just absurd. At the same time, the fact remains that there are still many unanswered questions about Epstein. There is plenty of reason to suspect that we still are not getting the complete story. The Epstein files themselves raise important questions that have objective yes or no answers. The government has the capability to answer these questions. Millions of people in the United States are interested in those answers and should be. And for that reason, you know, whatever happens in Iran or Cuba or Venezuela or anywhere else, we should stop with the piecemeal document dumps, Release everything, unredact any significant information, and then there should be a press conference where they answer our questions as thoroughly as they possibly can. And until that happens, this is not going away. And politically, it'll be something that continues to dog the administration into the midterms, which is a disaster for the conservative movement and the country. Regardless of what you think about the Epstein story, those are the stakes. We can either see total transparency from our conservative leaders on this story, or we won't have those leaders for very long. Now, let's get to our five headlines.

The Post Millennial reports police in New York City are investigating another device discovered on the Upper east side on Sunday, just a day after an improvised explosive device was thrown during a protest outside Gracie Mansion. Authorities said the device was located inside a vehicle parked on east end Avenue between 81st street and 82nd Street Street. Officers quickly secured the area as situation unfolded. Discovery came less than 24 hours after device was ignited and thrown near Gracie Mansion during demonstrations on Saturday. According to Police Commissioner Jessica Tish, the early device was confirmed to be explosive device. Quote, it's not a hoax device or a smoke bomb. It is in fact an improvised explosive device. Two suspects identified by police as Amir Balat and Ibrahim Kumi were arrested at the scene Saturday and remain in custody in connection with the incident. So these were bombs thrown at a demonstration thrown by these two Muslim terrorists at right wing demonstrators. This was a demonstration against the Islamic takeover of New York City. And so these two Islamists show up and throw a bomb. Jake Lang was one of the people leading this demonstration. And, and also the terrorists confessed that they were inspired by isis. Daily Wire has this. The FBI is reported looking at an attempted bombing in New York City as a potential act of terror after at least one of the suspects claimed that he had been inspired by isis. NBC News correspondent Tom Winter reported on Sunday that one of the suspects referenced ISIS directly in statements to law enforcement after his apprehension, prompting the terror probe. Now, there are two other things to show you. First of all, we'll show you this just on the screen. Here's a video of one of the Muslim terrorists throwing the bomb. And this, it's, there's a bunch of video that's come out. This is the clearest one. You can see him right there. He lights it and throws it went with the kind of Looney Tunes style bomb with the wick, like lighting the wick and throwing the bomb. Now, fortunately, nobody was hurt. So this was, this was an actual terrorist attack. And for that reason, very serious as any attack is, but also just about as incompetent and clumsy as a terrorist attack can get, thank God. And now these morons are going to go to federal prison having accomplished, not accomplished, whatever it is they were trying to accomplish, whatever evil thing they were trying to accomplish. And they should go for the rest of their lives, by the way. I mean, I'm a firm believer. One of the many things that makes no sense to me about the way that, about the criminal justice system in this country is this is attempted, you know, when, when the, the crime for attempting something or the, the sentence for attempting something is much, much less than actually doing the thing. I don't see why, as far as the courts are concerned, that should matter. I mean, if you attempt to do it, you should be treated as though you had successfully done it because you tried to. I mean, he tried to kill several people and so the court should treat him as though he had killed several people. The fact that he didn't succeed in doing it is, in terms of the punishment, irrelevant, or it should be. You shouldn't get points for the fact that you're incompetent. Like the fact that your incompetence somehow managed to override your wickedness should not be something that gets you brownie points when it comes to sentencing. And here's another piece of footage. This is apparently an FBI raid on the house of one of the terrorists. His parents house. He lives with his parents. And you can see there, the FBI show, reportedly the FBI raid on the house. And you can also see this is, this is not a family in destitute poverty. Okay, they're, they're living in what looks like, I'm guessing a know 4,4000 square foot house, maybe 4500 square foot upper middle class home and you know, million dollar home, 1.5 million. I would guess it's not worth that. It's pretty ugly, but still it's a, it's a nice big house by any measure. And to top it off, and this will not shock you to learn at all, it's now been reported that both terrorists come from of course, immigrant families. Their parents, both of their parents became naturalized citizens over the past couple of decades. One is from Turkey, the other is from Afghanistan. So to review, immigrants come to this country, America welcomes them with open arms, makes them financially successful, gives them a nice big house to live in. A house that would basically be a palace by Afghanistan standards. And to repay us as a thank you, their children become terrorists. And actually, okay, so someone, someone on X pulled up the, the Zillow on the house. Allegedly this is the Zillow. So $1.7 million. 4, 700 square feet, five bedrooms, four baths, less than half an acre of land. So that's, you know, that's way too much money for an ugly McMansion on like a postage stamp property. But still that, that's all beside the point. The point is that these Muslim immigrants came to the country, experienced the American dream enjoyed prosperity well above what the average American, actual American experiences. And this is what we get in return. And this is not an aberration, by the way. I mean, a huge number of immigrants, especially immigrants from the Arab world, produce children who despise the country. Now, most of them don't become terrorists, some of them do, but still a huge number of them hate the country. And speaking of immigrants who hate the country, how has the first Muslim mayor of New York responded to all of this? You might be asking. Well, you don't need to ask. You know exactly, exactly what you thought he would do is what he did. So here's the statement he issued over the weekend. I'll read it verbatim. Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion. Rooted in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city's values and the unity that defines who we are. What followed was even more disturbing. Violence and a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are. I want to thank the brave men and women of the NYPD who acted quickly to keep New Yorkers safe. Our officers ran toward danger without hesitation, demonstrating once again the courage and dedication it takes to protect the city every single day. My administration is closely monitoring the situation and I remain in close contact with our police commissioner, so. Well, that's good. He's monitoring it. Mamdani's lead. The thing he opens with is condemning Jake Lang and the anti Muslim protesters. Notice also, he doesn't even name the terrorists. So he names one person in this statement, and it's the victim or one of the intended victims of this terrorist attack. He spends a paragraph at the top condemning white supremacy before he gets around to saying anything about the terrorism, which is again, exactly what you knew he would do. But it's somehow even more gratuitous than I, I expected. And this morning he gave a press conference which, which he approached basically the same way. Watch.
