So, yes, so Today is the 30 days and I expect that we're going to release several hundred thousand documents today. And those documents will come in all different forms, photographs and other materials associated with all of the investigations into Mr. Epstein. And just so everybody appreciates, President Trump has said for years that he wants full transparency and he wants the Department of Justice to release everything that we can with respect to this investigation.

Political Commentator (3:59)

And I just want to pull up the Epstein transparency law so we can read it together. Here it is right here, short title. The act may be cited as the Epstein Files Transparency act, subsection A in general, not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this act, the Attorney General shall, subject to subsection B, make publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format all unclassified records, documents, communications and investigative materials in the possession of the Department of Justice, including the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the United States Attorney's office that relates to then it's everything related to Epstein, Ghislaine and their child sex trafficking ring. And the Trump regime is now saying they will be violating that law. You just heard it there publicly here. Todd Blanche is again this morning, again using this number, several hundred thousand, he says. And then he just tries to gaslight everybody and say, Donald Trump has always wanted to be transparent about it. He's always been the guy to produce everything. This is what he always wanted to do. Just stop it. Cut it out. I mean, for real, the American people aren't stupid. The American people know that this is a massive PPP pedoprotection program, a massive cover up of this child sex trafficking ring by Donald Trump and Todd Blanche and the rest of this regime. I just want to show you what he said this morning so you can see what liars. It's just unfortunate that these people who are destroying this country right now, who are in the Oval Office, who are there, are just such liars in that they're covering up a child sex trafficking ring like this. And they think we're all stupid. Here, play this clip.

Todd Blanche (5:45)

So, yes, so today is the. Is the 30 days, and I expect that we're going to release several hundred thousand documents today. And those documents will come in all different forms, photographs and other materials associated with all of the investigations into Mr. Epstein. And just so everybody appreciates, President Trump has said for years that he wants full transparency and he wants the Department of Justice to release everything that we can with respect to this investigation.

Political Commentator (6:18)

And, yeah, I just want to bring you more data and receipts. Right. We talked about yesterday that there were, what, at least a thousand FBI and a thousand FBI and DOJ national security personnel from national security positions who the Trump regime assigned to be involved in redactions on these Epstein files. A thousand. And they've been working every single day on this, apparently likely to remove Donald Trump's name from it and to remove people who Donald Trump knows from it and anyone who Donald Trump is friends with and all of his powerful billionaire friends to hide them from it. But that's in addition to what was done back in March. I mean, do you remember reporting by Jason Leopold over at Bloomberg? He explained that between March 17 and March 22, there was close to $1 million in overtime that was clocked going through the Epstein files in March. FBI personnel clocked in a total of 4,737 hours of overtime between January and July alone. That's just overtime. So if it's 4737 hours of overtime, how many actual hours do you think were between January and July? My estimate. I mean, probably 50,000, 60,000, 70,000 hours were spent going through these files and making These redactions, with 70% occurring during the month of March alone. Think about that. And then they're not producing these records right now. They're unable to produce these records today. Absolutely heinous regime. I mean, look, this is the same regime that gaslights the people and saying, oh, it's a great economy. Everyone's doing great. Everyone's doing amazing. Everybody, right? Everyone's so, so what a great special economy we've gotten. People like, dude, I can't afford things at the grocery store. I can't afford to buy a home. I can't afford to pay my rent. I can't afford to buy basic essentials in life. Right now I'm working a job and I'm living paycheck to paycheck. If I'm lucky enough to get a paycheck, that's how the American are feeling right now. It's psychological. Torture out there. And that's reflected in the numbers. I mean take a look right here at the latest University of Michigan consumer sentiment polling which now is at 50.4, a new all time low going back to data from the 1970s. So the Trump regime can try to gaslight us but the people aren't being gaslit. Not about Epstein, not about the economy. Not, not, not about how this regime is handling anything. We know that they're liars. We know that he's not making peace deals. We know that he's not making trade deals. We know that tariff isn't a beautiful word. We know that he's harming this country in everything he's doing. He's making the world less safe. His tariffs are causing inflation to surge and his policies are screwing everybody but maybe just his rich billionaire friends. By the way, can you hit subscribe to the Midas Touch YouTube channel.

This from this was from this morning on Fox where basically as Rose Benson says all of the horrible news about the economy, all of the bad news that's out there, Fox acts like and the market for the billionaires are all like that's good news for the market because it means maybe there could be interest rate cuts in February. The people may be suffering, the job report may be horrible. Consumer sentiment may be low but that's good news. Here play this clip.

Interviewer (10:04)

That's 41 million homes sold on a 4.13 million 4.13. So on an annualized basis that is not strong at all. That's just not here we are also latest read on consumer sentiments. What's that number?

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-Darimer (10:16)

It surprise drop to 52.9. This is a December number. It's the final number so it's pretty recent. I consumers are just worried about the price of things and long run inflation expectations as well.

Interviewer (10:31)

But with rather these dull numbers, the market seems to like it. Perhaps implying that we'll get more Fed rate cuts.

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-Darimer (10:37)

Actually the market went up a little bit. All pieces of information being slightly weaker.

Interviewer (10:40)

Than weakness I think is attractive. Bad news is actually good news for the market. Maybe. Maybe that's what we got.

Target and you have the labor secretary, anti labor secretary as I call her, Laurie Chavez Darimer hates unions, hates workers, hates labor, loves AI replacing workers. I mean, she's the labor secretary. She pretended during her career that she was like I'm for labor when she was a congresswoman. But the people, her constituents voted her out because they know what a phony that she is. Here she is right here. Lori Chavez Darimer labor secretary saying that 4.6% unemployment's a good thing. We've never had better unemployment. What are they talking about? Play this clip.

Interviewer (13:07)

The latest jobs report showed the unemployment rate going up to 4.6%. That's a four year high. You must be disappointed by that. Do you trust the numbers?

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-Darimer (13:18)

Well, when I look at the numbers, what I think about is that we saw a solid jobs report, 64,000 new jobs. The president has created more private sector jobs than we have seen in really a long time and certainly not under the Biden administration where almost 700,000 jobs have been in the private sector. Certainly we have seen the federal jobs go down, which is what the president promised that he would do. You know, we're going to be in North Carolina tonight. I'll be with the president talking about to the American people how we're going to protect the American economy and the American jobs. So with more people searching for jobs, the unemployment rate can tick up because that means more people are getting off the sideline and finally wanting to be part of the American economy and this workforce. And at the Department of Labor, we want to stay focused on understanding exactly where we need to send those dollars to make sure that everybody has the opportunity at the American dream.

Interviewer (14:08)

That was an interesting diplomatic move, I'd say to see a four year high for unemployment. It's actually kind of beneficial. And good news. Madam Secretary, I'm being facetious, but I don't mean it. I see your very much, very soon, I hope. And Merry Christmas to you.

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-Darimer (14:24)

Thank you. Merry Christmas to you as well, Stuart.

Interviewer (14:26)

Sure thing.

Here's how the consumer sentiment numbers were being reported on cnbc. Do you sense a trend here? Here, play this clip to Michigan sentiment.

Economic Analyst (14:36)

And the inflation metrics embedded in this report. So the mid month read gets tossed. 53.3 was the mid month read on the headline. It now moves lower to 52.9. That'd be the weakest since it was 51 in November. And I'd like to point out that if you look at the absolute low it is 50 from June of 22, we're not far away from the low going back to my database in the 70s. Now if we look at current conditions, same dynamic, 50.7 mid month becomes 50.4. And 50.4 is a new all time low replacing the 50.7. Also, my database goes back into the 1970s. Look at expectations. Same dynamic. Mid month 55 now becomes 54.6. And 54.6 would be the weakest since November when it was 51.

Political Commentator (15:34)

And what's the regime focused on? You have their interior secretary, Doug Burgum, who's focused now on seizing land in California. See the language he we have an opportunity to seize a strip of land along the border in California and transfer it to military control for three years. States rights A states rights the federal government seizing land in California and turning it into military installations. While Trump covers up child sex trafficking rings while the economy is suffering. Oh, by the way, while Donald Trump is making billions of dollars, what would Donald Trump do? He merged his social media company into a fusion energy company so that he can make billions of dollars. Did you hear about that? Trump Media announced a $6 billion merger with the fusion technology company TAE Technologies. And then the Trump Media stock surged on that news. That makes a lot of sense, right? Social media companies that are doing horrible and losing tens of millions of dollars each quarter merging with fusion companies. There's just, it's a cauldron of corruption, this regime. Anyway, here's, here's Doug Burgum's great idea that they're rolling out. This is what the American people are looking for. Seizing land in California, which by the way, is the most populous and wealthy state in the United States that gives more to the federal government than basically any state that subsidizes the red states. And now they come and seize land in California. Here, play this clip.

Joe from Vanta (17:05)

We have an opportunity to take a strip of land right along the border, transfer it to the military for a three year period, which then if someone crosses into our country and steps on that, they're stepping on a military installation that gives our troops that are down there working to secure that border, more authorities about detaining people if they step on that land helps improve the security. We've done this already early in this Trump administration in New Mexico along a strip that ran across most of New Mexico. Now doing it in Southern California, near the Pacific, because this is obviously an area of high traffic. When I was governor, we had troops stationed in this area. National Guard helping out the federal government on the border. I've been down there myself as governor just over a year ago and saw again the tremendous gaps that we have in security that are there. Of course now under President Trump, the border is secure. This is one step to making even more secure, Mr. Secretary.

Political Commentator (18:04)

But Donald Trump wants everybody to know that he's defied the odds. He's achieved an economic miracle. This is, it's all happening. It's all happening. That's what he posted this morning. The triple play rate cuts, tariffs, cooling inflation. It's all happening. Meanwhile, in the real world, economists from places like Barclays say, yeah, you know, the inflation report that was just put out by the Trump regime, don't take it literally or don't let it guide any policy at all. It's all made up. Basically, the Trump regime used Z. They just put the number zero when it comes to inflation, for rents, for rental inflation. And they would use like Black Friday sales to show prices going down. Look, the prices are going down with the Black Friday sales. Yeah, they're Black Friday sales. And you don't just put zero. You don't just input zero the number zero yet it will bring down averages if you just put zero. Just making things up, that's the Trump regime. We'll keep you posted every step of the way today on what's happening. Thanks for watching. Hit subscribe the COVID ups in full, in full swing. You saw right there at the beginning.
