Wow. Donald Trump just ran away from the press during an Oval Office press conference where he refused to answer any questions about the release of the Epstein files. This follows Trump regime officials saying they will not be turning over all of the Epstein files today. In fact, at least as of this recording, they haven't turned over any. They are in a complete coverup mode right now. Let me show you Donald Trump right now running away during this press conference moments ago. Play this clip.
A
Nobody thought any of these things were possible. Thank you very much everybody.
C
Now, right before Donald Trump ran away, what he said is, I don't want to soil it up. I don't want to soil up announcements. So I'm going to just not answer any questions right now. And then he walks out of the room. Here, play this clip.
A
And I prefer not talking and asking questions only for the reason that this is such a big announcement, meaning what these people have said and what the other four companies are going to say, which is exactly the same thing. That I really don't want to soil it up by asking questions, even questions that are very fair questions that I'd love to answer. So I think we have to just stop right here.
C
I'll talk to you more about what went down in that press conference. In just a minute, A reminder, hit subscribe. The Midas Touch Network is on its way to 6 million subscribers thanks to your support. You may think you're subscribed, but you may not actually be subscribed to this channel. So just double check. Now, right before Donald Trump held that presser, he defaced the Kennedy Center. What he did here is entirely unlawful. It would be no different than if someone went up with graffiti or what up and vandalized the building. Because this has to be done by a law. But this is a lawless, criminal gangster regime covering up a child sex trafficking ring. Despicable and vile people. So here's what happened right before Donald Trump went to this press conference. The Kennedy center in Washington is defaced. And now it's called the Trump Kennedy Center. Here, watch what went down. Play this clip. So Trump was focused on doing that, and he was making the people in the Oval Office presser basically wait for him. Show you what was going down as the people were waiting for him right outside the Oval Office, it looks like. Here, play this clip right here. So then Donald Trump starts saying, well, well, I guess the purpose of this presser was supposed to be about, uh, they were announcing that they were gonna be calling this website Trump Rx and that these health insurance and that these pharmaceutical companies would post the prices on the. On Trump rx. Everything has, like, Trump's name on it. It's like, this is ridiculous and most authoritarian stupidity imaginable. But Donald Trump wanted to brag in front of these pharmaceutical company executives and talk about his Trump gold card. He's like, look at my beautiful gold card. Look, it's my. It's the Trump. It's Trump rx. It's the Trump Kennedy Center. It's the Trump. This. While he's covering up a child sex trafficking ring. Here, play this clip right here.
A
So your company will pay a little bit, but that's okay. You'll be able to get them. So I just want to just call the gold card, the Trump Gold card. Quite a beautiful thing.
C
And then again, I thought the purpose of this press conference was going to be on something about Trump RX Pharmaceutical company. I don't even know what he's even talking. No, he doesn't know what he's talking about. But then he continues to talk about his gold card. He goes, this is the gold card. Hey, Lutnick. Hey, Lutnick. How much money did we make, Donald? $1.3 billion. 1.3 billion.
A
Here play this clip by announcing two things. This is the gold card. As you know, the Secretary of Commerce and myself and some others have been working on for quite a while. And Howard, how much have we sold in a few days?
D
$1,300,000,000 worth in a matter of a couple of days.
A
That's a, essentially it's the green card on steroids and it's a pathway and it's been an amazing thing. And as you know, millions of people pour into our country from the border and not anymore they don't know, nobody comes in actually anymore.
C
But, and then you had Dr. Oz, he spoke at this and he like went to the microphone after Donald Trump spoke and he's like, Donald Trump, you grow each day. He gets taller by the day. Here, play this clip.
A
Want to start? And Bobby, thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. President.
D
He gets taller with time here.
C
Mr. And Donald Trump was whining, by the way, the people just want the Epstein files released. Like, right, like he's doing this. While the people are like, weren't you supposed to drop the Epstein files today? Didn't you promise, didn't the law require that every file, all of it, be produced? That's what the law said. But again, lawless, criminal, gangster, cover up, child sex trafficking. That's who these people are. But here Donald Trump's like, yeah, unemployment may be at 4.5%, but that's because we fired all the people from the federal government. First off, it's 4.6%. Get your frickin numbers accurate. Second, that's not where it's coming from. There's also a manufacturing recession, construction recession. You've destroyed jobs in every other field other than healthcare and education, and you're going after health care and education right now. Here, play this clip.
A
But I do want to say, and some people say, oh, you shouldn't say, it sounds negative to me. I think it sounds positive. The only reason our unemployment tucked up and went up to 4.5%, which it went up to 4.5%, which is quite a low number, but still is because we are reducing the government workforce by numbers that have never been seen before. In other words, government jobs are way down. And as you know, we don't need 10 people to fill one job, which is what we had in government in many cases. So the government workforce by numbers that have never been seen before has been reduced very substantially and it will continue to be reduced.

This is where Donald Trump finally gets to. I guess what the point of this was. Trump rx. He's like I didn't name it this. It's an honor that people are referring to medication now as Trump Rx. Dude, we don't want any of this. We don't want the humans. We don't. Americans, human beings, we don't want this. Just give us affordable health Care. Allow it. Allow us, if we're working, to be able to afford a fricking home. Allow us not to be suffering with people. Live paycheck to paycheck. Stop sending ice gestapo to round human beings up. Just be normal. We don't want Trump Rx and Trump Kennedy Centers and Trump. A golden fricking ballroom is not what we want. And release the damn Epstein files. Here's Trump talking about Trump Rx. Play this clip and they will list.
A
Their most popular drugs on trumprx.gov trumprx.gov and I didn't name it that. Somebody named it that and I guess they assumed that was. Did you name it Oz or Bobby? Name it.
C
We all name it together.
A
Okay, well, I'm honored to have the name. And so far that's turned out because the numbers are so incredible. It's an honor. And you're going to get massive discounts.
C
Then more of Donald Trump saying 600%, 700%, 800%.
A
One quarter of one. Think of that. I was proud of it because it hadn't happened in 28 where drug prices went down. Well, now you're going to see numbers that nobody would believe possible. Think of that. 500, 600, 700, 800%.
C
Now here he is making up more numbers. Here. Play this clip.
A
Because I would say that maybe with one talk they would be willing to cut their prices by 50, 60 or 70%. They've made a fortune. They've had stock prices that have gone up 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and even 18. Think of this. They went up 1,800%. One of them went up numbers that nobody's ever seen before. Nice return. Not a 2%, an 1800% return.
C
And you will recall that earlier today, Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney, this guy was Trump's criminal defense lawyer in a case where Trump was convicted of felonies, multiple dozens. Okay? And he's now the number two at the Department of Justice. He was Trump's criminal defense lawyer when Trump's a felon. So the guy's covering up for Trump too, that they're a cover up ring. And so he said, actually we're gonna produce maybe some records today, but it's coming in a matter of weeks. Here, play this clip.
D
The most important thing that the Attorney General has talked about, that Director Patel has talked about, is that we protect victims. And so what we're doing is we are looking at every single piece of paper that we are going to produce, making sure that every victim, their name, their identity, their Story, to the extent it needs to be protected, is completely protected. And so expect that we're going to release more documents over the next couple of weeks. So today, several hundred thousand, and then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more. There's a lot of eyes looking at these, and we want to make sure that when we do produce the materials we're producing that we're protecting every single victim.
C
Then he says that there are hundreds of thousands of documents. Notice that language. Hundreds of thousands of documents. There's tens of millions. There's terabytes of documents here. Play this clip.
D
So, yes, 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 and cases.
C
Again, just take a look at the Epstein files Transparency act, which is now a law. It says, no later than 30 days after the date of enactment, 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 Investigation and the United States Attorney's office that relate to the Epstein files. And this was violated. This was absolutely violated right here. Violated. This was absolutely violated right here. Um, by the way, contrast the fact that Trump is hiding the Epstein files just with what else happened today. Special Counsel Jack Smith's like, can I testify publicly about all. I want to go to a Senate hearing. Put me in front of the House of Representatives maga. You could have unlimited hours with me in front of the nation. Let me speak to the nation. No, no, no, no. That's got to be secret. Trump's medical records, that's got to be secret. Jack Smith, keep that private. Epstein files. Cover up that everything with this regime is one cover up. Politico is reporting Department of Justice won't meet Friday deadlines to release all of the Epstein files. Yeah, that means they're violating the law, but what else would you expect? They're gangsters. You know, it's, it's. They're covering up child sex trafficking. They did it before. They're bad humans. They're bad people. They're evil. Sometimes the media just needs to use the right language. These are evil people. These are bad humans. Okay? They are predators. They are evil predators. That's who they are. We're getting the statement right now from Democratic Congressmember Garcia and Democratic Congressmember Raskin. They're both the ranking members of respectively, the House Oversight and the Judiciary Committee. Here's their joint statement. Donald Trump and the Department of Justice are now violating federal law as they continue covering up facts in the evidence about Jeffrey Epstein's decades long billion dollar international sex trafficking ring. For months, Pam Bondi has denied survivors the transparency and accountability they have demanded and deserved and has defied the Oversight Committee subpoena. The Department of Justice is now making clear it intends to defy Congress itself even as it gives star treatment to Epstein's convicted co conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. Courts around the country have repeatedly intervened when this administration has broken the law. We are now examining all legal options in the face of this violation of federal law. The survivors of this nightmare deserve justice. The coconspirators must be held accountable and the American people deserve complete transparency from the doj. There you have it folks. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe let's get to 6 million.

The MeidasTouch Podcast | December 20, 2025
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas (MeidasTouch Network)
In this explosive episode, the MeidasTouch brothers break down the dramatic events around Donald Trump’s latest Oval Office press conference, where he abruptly fled the podium rather than take questions about the yet-unreleased Jeffrey Epstein files. The episode exposes what they call a coordinated Trump administration coverup—highlighting Trump’s increasingly bizarre and authoritarian antics, the administration's defiance of legal mandates for transparency, and pointed congressional responses. Infused with the Meiselas brothers’ signature blend of incisive commentary, sarcasm, and genuine outrage, this episode is a scathing indictment of what they describe as a lawless regime.
“[Trump] said, I don’t want to soil it up. I don’t want to soil up announcements. So I’m going to just not answer any questions right now.”
—(Ben quoting Trump, 02:12)
Trump’s main “announcement” at the presser is about a new scheme, “Trump RX,” where prescription prices and a “Trump Gold Card” are supposedly going to benefit Americans—but the hosts see it as empty self-promotion and a distraction.
Memorable Moment:
Dr. Oz at the presser jokes, “He [Trump] grows each day. He gets taller by the day.” (06:41) —met with the brothers’ derision.
Trump brags of billions in sales and makes dubious economic claims:
“Howard, how much have we sold in a few days?”
“$1,300,000,000 worth in a matter of a couple of days.”
—(Trump and Lutnick, 05:58-06:04)
Trump claims the slight uptick in unemployment is due only to federal workforce reductions, not worsening economic trends—ignoring deeper weaknesses.
Key Quote:
“The only reason our unemployment tucked up...is because we are reducing the government workforce by numbers that have never been seen before.”
—Trump (07:40)
Ben counters:
“That’s not where it’s coming from. There’s also a manufacturing recession, construction recession. You’ve destroyed jobs in every other field!”
—Ben (06:44)
“They are predators. They are evil predators. That’s who they are.”
—Ben (15:00 approx.)
“Donald Trump and the Department of Justice are now violating federal law as they continue covering up facts in the evidence about Jeffrey Epstein’s decades long...sex trafficking ring... We are now examining all legal options.... The survivors of this nightmare deserve justice. The coconspirators must be held accountable and the American people deserve complete transparency from the DOJ.”
This episode’s tone is an urgent mix of ridicule and alarm. The MeidasTouch brothers make a compelling case that the Trump administration is actively violating federal law and betraying survivors of Epstein’s crimes in favor of self-serving spectacle. Their outrage is palpable, branding the administration as “evil predators” and drawing a stark moral line. The episode finishes by highlighting congressional intent to pursue legal remedies, with the brothers rallying their audience to demand accountability and support independent journalism.
