Tomorrow's the big day. The Department of Justice legally has to hand over something. Something. Yep, something. We will have to see something. I don't know what it will be yet. I. I find it highly doubtful that we will see the full Epstein files on Friday considering that they wrote in a letter to, to two judges, Engelmeier and Berman, that they were still going through the process on Monday of how to actually redact the names of victims and that they were still getting the names of new victims. But they're going to have to hand over Epstein files on Friday. Now, there are a lot of loopholes in the law that they could use to hold back information to redact. There's really no oversight, as we know. It's Pam Bondi, the attorney general who's overseeing all of this. Can we really trust her when she's lied in so many turns in this story? And we do know that Republicans have already started putting together talking points, ways that they can distance the story from President Trump and ways to turn it on Democrats, Democratic members of Congress. So they're bracing for something. They're not sure what they're going to get. Maybe the Trump administration has told them so. Maybe we will at least learn something new. I know some from some of the survivors I spoke to today that they're not too hopeful. They just, they just don't trust the government. I don't blame them after three decades of being completely ignored. But we'll see what happens. In the meantime, the New York Times has, like, a very explosive story out. I hope you read it. It's about how Epstein and Donald Trump are best friends, something that I've talked about a lot on this show, but it even has some new details in it that are really revealing about their friendship. And for example, they would talk about their sexual exploits in front of one of Epstein's assistants just to make her feel uncomfortable, to use their power over her, to lord over her and to make her feel like she didn't matter. Some of the new pictures that came out are really disturbing. And I talk about that with Don Lemon in this upcoming, in this upcoming segment. I hope you'll stick around for it. But, yeah, I mean, this, this piece, the one thing I was really happy that the New York Times reported on was that when they talked to the victims, the victim said, and then Jeffrey Epstein told us to, I guess you could use the word service, but be abused by other men. And, you know, for so, so many people say, oh, but was it just Jeffrey Epstein that he got all thousand women? And I think it's really important that this is reported, reported that there were other men and that all of these people who try to suggest that this is nothing more than one, the one man, you know, that they learn that there were many involved. You know, these pictures, they may not say much. Some of them, you know, they just are kind of scenes of Epstein's life. But I think when you couple that with the depravity around him and the signs and the birthday book and the pictures of the girls and the weird. Just the weirdness around him, the dental chair and, and, and just all the young girls and the way that they treated their. The way that their bodies, you know, were treated. And, and even, you know, his request for a girl that was, you know, and then they were just checked off like Schengen or Russia. Age, weight, you know, the way that they describe them, as if they're just cars with specifications to be boxed. I think it really paints a portrait of this world. And it makes you realize that the men who were around Jeffrey Epstein, they didn't trip into his world. They consented. They consented to be a part of this dark, dark world.
