Good morning everyone. Get ready for a very long and busy day. Words that I hate saying, but it starts with Epstein, it heads to Canadian wildfires, and it ends off tonight at 9:00pm with the President's address to the nation, an address that we're learning will likely have many falsehoods. Many misleading statements about the 2020 election may implicate the Chinese government in attempting to subvert America's 2020 election without any sufficient evidence to back it up, and more. I'm going to have coverage for you throughout the day into the evening hours and we'll watch the speech tonight so that you don't have to. Now the question is, will major media networks even air the speech and the Trump administration is actively threatening them over potentially saying no. But I'll watch it on C Span or anywhere it is aired Regardless, White House, YouTube, whatever it may be, and I will provide you updates afterwards assuming he says anything new and noteworthy, or I may even do a fact check of the speech in real time. Make sure to like, comment, share and if you can subscribe to my substack, click the link below to support my work, especially today to keep me caffeinated and to make sure that we are building an independent media that won't just cave and repeat what the White House says, but rather ensures that the American public gets to truth about Trump's election claims. When I said we started with Epstein, it's because over the past 12 hours, a bipartisan group of lawmakers has put increased pressure on the Trump administration to release the Epstein files and to allow survivors to hold the Department of Justice accountable. A bipartisan group of lawmakers have come together to introduce the Epstein files Transparency Act 2.0, a piece of legislation that will ensure survivors have the ability to go after this Department of Justice that has revealed identities of Jane Doe survivors, that has improperly redacted names, faces and more. This new bill will create a private right of action allowing state attorneys general, district attorneys, other authorized state officials, members of Congress, and victims to challenge and sue the US Attorney General for unlawfully withholding, redacting, delaying, concealing, removing, or failing to publish Epstein related records. It gives victims the right to obtain full unredacted records concerning themselves or the harm they suffered, including relevant FBI FD302 reports. It enforces compliance with the existing law by subjecting DOJ and FBI officials to existing federal criminal penalties for knowingly concealing, destroying, falsifying, withholding, or misrepresenting files. It requires the Department of Justice to provide state and local prosecutors with unredacted records needed for investigations, prosecutions and judicial proceedings, including secure access to classified material. And it explicitly prohibits the invocation of common law privileges, including the deliberative process privileges to evade disclosure requirements included in the original Epstein Files Transparency Act. And lawmakers led by Thomas Massie, Ro Khanna, and others say that if the House does not consider it within seven legislative days, a discharge petition will be circulated to force the vote on this critical piece of legislation. And while it comes as the White House has admitted that they are guilty of mishandling the files, people want to

say we mishandled the Epstein release. Guilty, we did say, especially the communications of it. What do you think?
- [05:01]
C
Guilty. Especially the communications of it. The White House has the opportunity to right its wrongs. The Department of Justice has the opportunity to right its wrongs. Now, Todd Blanche doesn't seem like he may want to do that.

D
It wasn't. I don't know. I wasn't part of the original prosecution team. Neither was Attorney General Bondi. And I can tell you this. There's only one President that's held Mr. Epstein accountable, and that's Donald J. Trump during his first administration, that was the administration that prosecuted him. And during this administration, it's the administration that's been totally transparent and released all the files. And no matter how much criticism people want to make about the Epstein files, that is indisputable. It's undisputable that nobody talked about the Epstein files for four years during Biden. Four years. And so when President Trump said, let's release the Epstein files, and the law was passed that allowed us to legally do it, we did it. Okay. I'm not sure you totally get what people feel about that, but I want to move on.

I don't think he does get what people feel about that, truthfully. And it comes as the President of the United States is set to give a speech tonight that many say could change the course of America's elections moving forward. Not because it's going to be a truthful speech, but rather because he's going to use the office of the presidency, the potentially even the Oval Office, to espouse false and misleading information about what happened in 2020. Trump is expected to deliver a primetime speech on election security that may include intelligence concerning China's intentions or capabilities related to the 2020 election. This evidence does not show China manipulated ballots, altered vote counts, or changed the outcome. Now, here's the thing. What they're trying to do is they're going to try to say China somehow meddled in the 2020 election, America's biggest adversary tried to buy vote data. And, well, a lot of this has already been made public. China, other governments, they play a role in our elections every single year. The Russians meddled in the 2016 election. Right. There is clear evidence of it, but there is no evidence that any foreign nation changed votes, changed vote tallies, manipulated voting machines. And while this administration is on the verge of declaring a national emergency, one that could see Trump try to take voter rolls, Trump tried to take voting machines. And you even now have Republican senators on Capitol Hill like Cynthia Loomis, saying, well, I don't even know if my colleague, Senator Jon Ossoff, and Senator Raphael Warnock, whether they're even legitimate. In your mind, are Senators Ossoff and

Warnock duly chosen and sworn?

C
I don't know, Jake. I don't know. I don't know. That's where one Republican senator is at now. They don't even know. And right there, I think, is an example of where our country is heading after tonight's speech. Now, I told you from the beginning, I am going to watch the speech so that you don't have to. I will report on the speech, but I'm not gonna do it in a way that just amplifies the language espoused from the President. In fact, I may not even show his face at all. I may just tell you what happened and fact check it in real time. Now, cable networks may not even air it. They do not. At least at this point, they have not cleared their schedules to air his speech. And while the president is likely frustrated over that. And finally, this is what northern Ontario looks like today. Wildfire smoke billowing out into the country. More than 830 fires are currently burning in and across Ontario, in and across Canada, especially in rural areas that are being impacted the hardest. Right now. Canadians need our support. And as a result of these fires, many in the United States of America are experiencing very poor air quality, especially in states like Wisconsin, Michigan, northern New York and others in the Northeast.
