So I'm going to go off of my survivor sister, Haley Roberson, and I'm a Republican. I voted for him. I voted for Trump. And for him to say what he's saying is beyond me because I put my hope in him. And he's supposed to protect us. And for him to say that this is a joke and that it's sides, this is not sides. We will say it time and time again. None of us are up there accusing him of anything. I. There is no one that is accusing him of any wrongdoing. So for the fact that he is saying those things and saying it's a hoax, who are you hiding for then? Because if it's not you, then who is it? And that scares me. Who is it?

A (6:56)

And meanwhile, you had one of Donald Trump's sycophants, James Homer, say the following about Epstein survivors, that the key thing is that Donald Trump's name has never been mentioned here. Play this clip.

C (7:08)

Many of these women said they were teenagers under 18 when they were groomed by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and then ended up in bad situations with, according to them, many wealthy, prominent people around the world. Now, one thing that continues to be a recurring theme is Donald Trump's name was never mentioned in any of this. And I think the Democrats have already demonstrated that their sole concern in this whole Epstein saga is to try to somehow find some dirt on Donald Trump when it doesn't appear that there's any dirt there. And what Donald Trump's done is he's disclosed the Epstein files. He's already turned over 34,000 files to the Oversight Committee. We published them online last night. We expect to get more documents in over the next few weeks. So we're, we're providing transparency.

A (8:00)

Except James Comer, that's not true. Donald Trump's name is all over the Epstein files. That's why he's hiding the files on the files that have been released. Donald Trump's name is all over him. He's In Epstein's black book, he's in the depositions, he's on the flight logs. He's mentioned over and over and over again, actually. But in the press conference that we had been broadcasting live on Emaitas Touch network, I mean, here's one of the victims speaking and saying that, that Donald Trump was someone that Epstein bragged about all the time. Play this clip.

B (8:33)

My first trip to the Palm beach residence, I drove there from the airport with Ghislaine Maxwell. And they, Jeffrey and Elaine were always very boastful about their friends, their famous or powerful friends. And his biggest brag forever was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump. He had an 8 by 10 framed picture of him on his desk with the two of them, like they were very close.

A (8:59)

And here's another victim talking about it as well here. Play this clip.

B (9:03)

The truth is, Epstein had a free pass. He bragged about his powerful friends, including our current president, Donald Trump. It was his biggest brag, actually. And while I, what I endured will haunt me forever. I live every day with ptsd. I live as a mother trying to raise my child while distrusting a world that has betrayed me. This kind of trauma never leaves you.

A (9:27)

No. We also heard from Virginia Giuffre, who since died by suicide. Giuffre worked at Mar A Lago when she was a girl. She was 17 years old. And Mar a Lago was a site where the sex trafficking took place. Virginia Giuffre was found by Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein. And as Trump's words, the girls were stolen from my spa is what he said. Here's Virginia Giuffre, sister in law, saying that, you know, the fact that Donald Trump saying this a hoax when you heard from all of us is horrific. Play this clip.

B (9:59)

I just want to give you a chance to respond. I mean, he's obviously the word hoax. That is, that is the word. That is what he is saying. Yeah, I, it's, it's beyond frustrating. I mean, 45 minutes ago, you've heard from every survivor saying this isn't a hoax. The American people know that this isn't a hoax. And so I think we're all tired of like the distractions, the switch and bait. I think we're over that part. And there's just this desire that, like, this is an ugly stain, that maybe he just wants to disappear and go away, but it's not going to. It's not going to go away. And I think there's a certain point, especially as the leader of our nation to sit back, take a moment of reflection and understand that this is huge, this is relevant, this is real. We are talking about human lives. They were children and they are asking for the justice that they deserve and they are asking that of their leader, of their nation.

A (11:10)

Here's another survivor. Let's play this clip right here.

B (11:13)

The president was weighing in from the White House just as we were hearing from you and other survivors on the Hill today. And he was calling it a Democratic hoax. Are we a hoax? Do we look like a hoax? Were all of us a hoax? I mean, no.

A (11:34)

And here's what Donald Trump said in the Oval Office so you can hear him for yourself when he says it's a Democratic hoax. Let's play it.

C (11:40)

There have been survivors of Jeffrey Epstein speaking at a press conference on Capitol Hill. They're calling for these case files, these documents to be released. And Thomas Massey, who is sponsoring a discharge position to get the House to vote on releasing his documents, says he doesn't believe you're implicated in these files, but many of your friends and donors may be. And he says that's why the Justice Department is redacting them and slow walking their release. Is the Justice Department protecting any friends or donors? So this is a Democrat hoax that never ends. You know, it reminds me a little of the Kennedy situation. We gave him everything over and over again, more and more and more, and nobody's ever satisfied, from what I understand. I could check, but from what I understand, thousands of pages of documents have been given. But it's really a Democrat hoax because they're trying to get people to talk about something that's totally irrelevant to the success that we've had as a nation since I've been president.

A (12:41)

Donald Trump also then attacked California Governor Newsom's hands yesterday and said that Newsom's an incompetent guy. What's going on with his hands? Here, play this clip.

C (12:52)

And Newsom, he's, this is a very incompetent guy. I watched him with the hands. I'm saying, what's going on with the hands? There's something wrong with. There's something wrong with them. Do you watch him? There's something wrong with this guy.

A (13:04)

What's going on with his hands? I mean, dude, your hands are rotting before our very eyes. They're rotting before our very eyes. I want to talk about something as well that I think needs more attention also. We haven't really heard from the government at all about the 11 Venezuelans that were killed in a kinetic military strike off the Venezuelan coast, not in the territorial waters of the United States. Now, Donald Trump posted this video of the execution of these apparently 11 Trump claims they're trend Nairagua gang members is what Trump claims. If you take a look at it, the analysis that I've seen is at most this is a 16 foot boat, fishing boat. I don't know, I don't know how there's 11 people on board on that 16 foot fishing boat. There's no place there on that hull to put enough fuel to get into the United States from Venezuela. There's nowhere on that boat to put enough drugs that would be worth more than the missile they shot at it. I've seen that before. Just America's just going out executing people and then there's no explanation about what happened here. I remember Abu Ghraib in Iraq and CIA black sites. I remember growing up with the war in Iraq and the war on terror across the world. We're putting four ships in Venezuela and we're just killing fishermen and saying they're drug dealers. And if they are drug dealers, then let us know who they are. What the identities, what was the mission? Why'd you have to kill them versus Iran, arrest them? We just do murders like that. Now the former president of the Philippines in prison for engaging in this type of, this type of conduct. This is what's happening in the name of the United States. Horrific stuff. I'm talking about other horrific stuff right here. And by the way, I want to be strong on drugs. I want to make sure no drugs come in. We're just going to kill everybody. That's, that's it. Just killing that. That's where we are right now. A few other data points I want to show you. The Florida Surgeon General and this is aligned with what Trump wants. We've heard Dr. Oz say the same thing. Banning vaccines for children or banning mandatory vaccines for children. I should say so there's, you can't mandate that children get like measles vaccines and mumps and rubella and things that kids die and then kids pass on these diseases. I mean, the hell is going like, what's going on? And then they can prepare vaccines to slavery. These are really sick people. Here, play this clip.

C (15:43)

Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and, and slavery. Okay, who am I as a government or anyone else? Or who am I as a man standing here now to tell you what you should put in your body.

A (16:01)

And speaking of six people, sick people, then you have Lara Trump on Laura Ingraham last night Saying that prices are actually all coming down and everything's cheaper and we're seeing the numbers all over the place and everything's amazing and we're in a golden age and everyone's rich. Here, play this clip for the Democrats.

B (16:18)

Look, prices are coming down. It's not going to happen immediately, but people are actually feeling it out there. This is the thing they should have been paying attention to a year ago when the American people were saying, you know, inflation is really high, it's coming down. With Donald Trump, we see the numbers all over the place.

A (16:34)

No, Laura, let me explain to you. Your family made billions of dollars selling another Meme coin, not the Trump meme or Melania meme coin. That was the previous grift, not the NFTs. That was the grift before that World Liberty Financial Token that was now trading. And even though it had a disastrous day of trading or two days of trading, down, just down, down, down, down, down significantly in the trading. Trump's made billions of dollars off of this thing. The Pakistani crypto fund put lots of money into this. People who are being investigated by the SEC put money into this thing to prop it up. Sickening. This is what's being done in the name of. This is what's happening in the United States. Finally, let me show you this because it's not getting enough attention. I want to give a hat tip to our friends at More Perfect Union. They do a very good job on so much, so much work. They explain how Meta is building a data center in Wyoming that would use more electricity than every home in the state combined. An artificial data center that would use more electricity than every home in Wyoming combined before expanding to as much as five times the size. Will be built soon near Cheyenne, according to the city's mayor. Donald Trump posted a photo of how big this data center is going to look like. Here, take, take a look at this. I can tell you that when I speak to most Americans, they are deeply concerned about their personal energy prices soaring right now. And it's things like this that are forcing it to soar. And Americans are deeply concerned with unregulated, limitless AI and what that means for workers and how it can destroy people's lives. And these should be nonpartisan issues. Whether it's releasing the Epstein files and stop covering up for a sex pedo trafficking ring which Donald Trump and his regime is doing now, whether it's ensuring that there are safeguards on the advancement and development of AI so that it doesn't screw over people, whether it is focusing on the right types of energy that we need out there and not killing windmills and solar and other types of energy that we need so that we can not have to deal with our energy prices surging. Because Donald Trump says weird things about windmills because he didn't like the windmills near his golf course in Aberdeen in Scotland. I want to bring us together around these basic ideas and principles and just talk about them because this shouldn't be partisan issues. I mean, you're calling the Epstein sex trafficking ring a hoax. That's what Trump's doing. I mean, it literally makes me want to vomit. And also, looking at Donald Trump makes me want to vomit too. Double Hit subscribe let's get to 6 million. Thanks for watching.
