Dave Smith (6:32)

Guess what?

Tim Pool (6:33)

It's different than what Trump's FBI and DOJ said when they were attacking Midas Touch in December. The FBI lab could not figure out whether it was or was not Epstein's handwriting because it claimed it did not have enough writing samples of Jeffrey Epstein. Just like everyone else on the Internet. Two months ago, results of the examination, this was the conclusion. We have the conclusion now. Meaningful handwriting comparisons cannot be conducted between question items 4 and 5 and item 3, the purported known writing of Jeffrey Epstein due to the lack of verified known writing submitted for comparison that is comparable in style with wording and format to the question items. Well, in my opinion that's suspicious because there was a lot of Epstein handwriting out there. So why could they not find enough Epstein handwriting samples to make the comparison? Do you remember when I showed you two days ago the letters from the CIA and the NSA that was sent back to Epstein's lawyer where they made public records requests and said we cannot confirm or deny whether or not Epstein was an asset of the CIA or worked in the intelligence department and thus we are withholding any documents without acknowledging whether those documents exist or not. Just put this all together right now and I would say it raises a lot of, a lot of red flags.

Tim Pool (9:26)

so that brings me to what the FBI was doing yesterday and today. Well, you had Dan Bongino, who used to be the number two at the FBI, along with Cash Patel who's currently the FBI director. They are co hosting a podcast together. Yesterday, I just want you to think about it. You have the FBI director and former deputy FBI director co hosting a podcast. Let's just say that that's not normal. As a reminder, these two individuals were the biggest people who talked about it. They made their careers. Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. The FBI is covering it up. And now in my opinion, they're the biggest cover uppers. So here's the way they describe everything and they try to avoid talking about the files themselves. Like they're both on there and they're not even acknowledging what everybody's talking about. I mean, to me, in my opinion, how pathetic and weak is that? But what they say is, look, working for the FBI is just too difficult. They said, they said there's just so many tough decisions and it's so hard to do their job. The hell are you? It's too hard. These people whining about the job and how hard it is. And you know, when Donald Trump has to make level 11 decisions. Dude, what are you talking about? Here, play this clip.

Dan Bongino (10:46)

Everything's a level 10 decision, cash. A level 10, meaning there's a, pardon the language, but a shitty decision and a shittier one. Because if it was, if there was a good decision to be made, someone else made it. And then when, when those decisions, that's every day. I know you know this because I would knock on your door and you'd be like, what now? And I'd be like, here we go again. Like something else will come up. But I just want to put into perspective for folks out there, when, when that decision can't even be made by, but by me, it goes to you. When it doesn't go to you, it goes like to the president's desk. He's dealing with like level 11 decisions. And that's the thing in D.C. is that's why the batting average isn't always going to be a thousand. There are. There's no good call to be made or someone else would have made it. There's just really tough decisions where, you know, there's a shit call and a shittier call and listen, that's what we signed up for. That's how it rolls.

Cash Patel (11:34)

Look. Yeah, these are difficult decisions, Dan. That's why you volunteered to jump back in. It wasn't just going to be, hey, we're going to do this job. It's going to be super easy. We're not going to have to make any hard decisions and we're going to have to combat a press corps that has largely been biased and full of inaccurate reporting. But we made those decisions collectively in the best interest of the nation. And if we hadn't, then none of this would be true. None of this would be possible. If President Trump had made the hard decisions to, to allow us and give us the resources that we need and to back the blue in law enforcement, to prioritize working with state and local authorities, then we wouldn't be able to do what we did. But you're right, we had a lot of hard decisions. That comes with the territory of the job. But once you look outside of the cauldron of Washington, D.C. and this is one of the things that, you know, I'm trying to remind myself of every day outside of here, there is a different America than the one that lives in the national capital region. And I try to remind myself every day when making those difficult decisions that you talked about that we make on a daily basis, that we are making a decision collectively for the rest of America, not just for the minority of people that are living part time in Washington D.C. pulling the levers on Capitol Hill and such.

Tim Pool (12:50)

And then because they don't want to talk about all of the things that I'm bringing up, when that's what people want to hear, they start talking about how they did the greatest job destroying an tifa. They create a fake boogeyman and then say they destroyed it. And everyone's like, what the hell are you even talking about here? Watch this clip.

Dan Bongino (13:13)

Also on a another related topic, antifa. You know, I covered earlier in my show today and in yesterday's show how the prior FBI director and the prior President Biden and even Obama had played down the antifa threat. It's an idea you and I know.

Tim Pool (13:29)

That's.

Dan Bongino (13:30)

That's bullshit. It's not an idea when, when, when actual action follows the idea. There was an action product that resulted from said ideas. Also we, you know, with the Prairieland investigation, others, there's been actual action to take down and dismantle this entire ring of people.

Cash Patel (13:48)

You're right. We set out to actually activate intelligence based operations. This includes Antifa. And Dan, you know this. How many people were arrested related to Prairie Land? We're over two dozen federal arrests. We're in the middle of federal trial. In five of those defendants this week again in Texas, 19 people have been convicted for acts of violence related to Antifa. It's in the indictment. You don't got to believe me or you. Everybody can go read the public indictment. And it didn't just happen there. It happened in cop city in Georgia where we had to go rearrest everybody because the state authorities couldn't get their act together to produce the enough, enough information to take that to trial. So we did.

Tim Pool (14:27)

Now just to remind you the history of these two people, here is a epic video that Ms. Now previously made a Bongino, Patel, Bondi and others about the Epstein files. Let's take this, let's show you this clip.

Dan Bongino (14:43)

Please do not let that story go.

Tim Pool (14:45)

Who has Jeffrey Epstein's black book?

Cash Patel (14:48)

Black book? FBI.

Tim Pool (14:50)

But who that is that.

Cash Patel (14:53)

I mean there's, that's under direct control of the director of the FBI. What the hell are the House Republicans doing? They have the majority. You can't get the list. Put on your big boy pants and let us know who the pedophiles are.

Lifelock Customer (15:07)

Would you declassify the Epstein files?

Donald Trump (15:09)

Yeah, yeah, I would.

Tim Pool (15:11)

All right.

Donald Trump (15:11)

I guess I would. I think that less so because you know, you don't know it. You don't want to affect people's lives if it's phony stuff in there because there's a lot of phony stuff with that whole world. But I think I will.

Dan Bongino (15:23)

This isn't about Epstein or 911 or JFK or RFK. It is, but it isn't. It's about a bigger thing. If you're lying about that, you're lying about everything. Who's on the Epstein tapes, folks? Who's on those tapes? Who's in those black books? Why have they been hiding it? And this is something Donald Trump has talked about.

Tim Pool (15:44)

The DOJ may be releasing the list

Dan Bongino (15:46)

of Jeffrey Epstein's clients.

Tim Pool (15:49)

Will that really happen?

Lifelock Customer (15:50)

It's sitting on my desk right now to review. That's been a directive by President Trump. Everything's going to come out to the public. The public has a right to know. Americans have a right to know.

Tim Pool (16:01)

And then last week, Bongino had Trump on. And rather than talk about the Epstein files, here's what he talked about. Let's play this clip right here.

Dan Bongino (16:12)

The past year has been absolutely incredible. And given that, you know, you're a results guy, having we obviously we were friends before, but working for you is a completely different experience. You are a results guy. You're a spreadsheets guy. Say how, how would you get to a net present value positive with what you're doing? And I'll never forget an Oval Office meeting we had in light of the DC crime numbers today. Hadn't had a homicide in a record amount of time in D.C. thanks to your leadership. We're sitting in the Oval Office and I was talking to you about the homicide rate plunging. And it was only about three months into my term there. I said, Mr. President, what we're doing down in Memphis and elsewhere is working. And I'll never forget, I said, we're doing the broken windows, Rudy Giuliani style policing. You looked at me and you said, hey, how do we take this nationwide? And you never, ever let go. You stayed on top of it with me and Cash. You were all over it. You're such a hands on guy. And it was just so refreshing to work for someone who doesn't get into all the hype and all the nonsense, but cares about the numbers. It's probably your business background or what it is, but amazing job on that.

Tim Pool (17:16)

So how are other libertarian and right wing podcasters handling this? Well, Dave Smith voted for Trump in 2024. He did a whole video. He's a Libertarian. Why is a Libertarian? He's voting for Donald Trump. Here's what he just said on his podcast. This was a Trump voter, 2024. Play this clip.

Dave Smith (17:36)

Nothing could vindicate Donald Trump in this. Even if, even if all the files were released. And there's no evidence that Donald Trump did anything like it. Like, you know, did anything with girls or young girls or anything like that. He still tried to cover it all up. So it kind of doesn't matter. He's not vindicated. This is just, this is insane.

Tim Pool (17:56)

And here's what he said again. Here, play this clip.

Dave Smith (17:58)

He did a 180 and said there's no such thing as the Epstein files. It's a Democratic hoax, all of that. And so one of the major themes from then till now for me has been like, dude, how can any of you guys still defend Donald Trump?

Tim Pool (18:12)

And here is right wing podcaster cigar and jetty. Here's what he had to say yesterday. Play this clip.

Cigar and Jetty (18:19)

There's the depreciation. There's the depreciated asset check where you know there's a girl like Trump's ex girlfriend being sold from Epstein to Trump. Like this is a bad look. There's also in the Epstein files. I'll have Griffin pull this up whenever he comes back. Is Trump's. One of the accusers was actually interviewed by the FBI. Can we get that? It's in politicians Trump accuser interviewed by the FBI from Roger Sullenberger. Which by the way. Let me just finish the thought. The fact that the FBI did interview a victim who was accusing Trump and goes beyond an anonymous claim against Donald Trump by a tip line. Right. So this was actually one of being interviewed again. Look, look, being interviewed is not necessarily a crime but what we're talking about is a deep social relationship with Trump has never really wanted to acknowledge at in his public life but in the prior life he would acknowledge it all the time.

Tim Pool (19:12)

I could go on and show you other clips but I think you get the point. I just want to show you a cross section what people are saying so you can judge for yourself. But that's what Kash, Patel and Bongino did. Hmm. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million. We appreciate you love this video.
