Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
What's up, everybody? Welcome to a brand new episode of Part of the Problem. I am Dave Smith. He is Robbie the Fire Bernstein. We got a good one for you today. How are you feeling today, Rob?
I'm doing well. And a reminder, everyone, we're at Fifth Company Brewery next weekend. And I've got the Shell up in New Hampshire this weekend. Then we've got Pittsburgh, Boston, Chicago.
Jersey. You skipped Jersey. We also got the ā it's this weekend, Rob at the Shell in New Hampshire. Next weekend, me and Rob ā
uh down in maryland and then the following weekend me and rob at the dojo of comedy right here in uh in jersey yes and then you said pittsburgh uh boston chicago whole bunch of fun stuff coming up uh looking forward to that uh comicdavesmith.com for the ticket links for our shows and then for uh the shell the robinfire.com uh robbernsteincomedy.com Rob Bernstein, Comedy.com.
Oh, somebody grew up a little bit on me there. All right. Very good. All right. So as I was saying to Rob before we we started today, well, I guess we're talking more about Epstein. I guess, man. The first thing I really should say here, because. This whole Epstein thing, and obviously we've done several shows on it already, but it's just, this is the thing to talk about right now.
I've never seen anything like this. Now, I was thinking about this earlier today, that there's like, really, what could you compare this to? There's really nothing like it. I mean, even like 9-11 files or JFK files or something, there was never anything questionable quite like this, where we got millions of documents.
And look, with 9-11 and with Kennedy, there was never any debate over whether the things happened or not. And even then, there was never a debate over whether it was a conspiracy or not. I mean, I guess with Kennedy, they were claiming it was just a lone gunman. But at the very least, you're like, this guy planned on murdering the president and then went and did it.
uh with 9 11 it was a conspiracy no matter what way it's just whether the conspiracy was between osama and his men or osama and some saudis and maybe some other people you know what i mean like that but with this they were kind of pretending nothing exists at all and then getting all this has just been crazy and then the other thing is just um
Man, you really, I mean, I know we said this yesterday, but you kind of, especially with all the new stuff we're going to get into today, it's just amazing what Thomas Massey has pulled off here. Like single-handedly, not single-handedly, Ro Khanna deserves a lot of credit too, and a handful of other people. But it does seem like, you know, I don't know.

Chapter 2: What recent developments did Thomas Massie uncover about the Epstein files?
Kash Patel lied to Congress. This is all Thomas Massey just got us all this information in the last 24 hours. Pretty unbelievable, Rob. All right, guys, let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, which is the wellness company. Now, some of you may know about this pill called ivermectin.
It became very popular during the pandemic, and about 58% of the world's ivermectin supply comes from China and 75% from Asia overall, but not the wellness companies. Introducing... American-made ivermectin, safe, trusted, and produced right here in the United States.
Ivermectin has been prescribed globally for more than 30 years and has even earned the Nobel Prize in Medicine for its proven ability to eliminate parasites and support overall health. New research also points to potential benefits for skin, immune system, and cancer support. Most pharmacies charge $5 a tablet, but the wellness company is offering a higher 18 milligram dose for just over $3 each.
You'll get a six-month supply designed for four 21-day cleanse cycles, all at an unbeatable price. Support American medicine, not China's supply chain, and get your U.S.-made ivermectin today. at TWC.health slash problem. And make sure to use the promo code problem to save $30 off plus free shipping. That's TWC.health slash problem, promo code problem for $30 off and free shipping.
All right, let's get back into the show.
And that's just in one day. That was one day of looking at the files. Two hours. Already a pretty big admission that things were improperly redacted. And they're covering their ass, I guess, by redacting it. I think the Thomas Massey play is clever of I'm not going to name this stuff because I'm going to try and force their hand to do it.
And then there was also a claim, which was interesting, that some of the information was redacted, I guess, before the Justice Department got that information, which means, as I said yesterday, we're still kind of in round one here. We've got two and a half million files. The entire general public is very interested in this. People are already stepping down. Pressure is being applied.
And all indications are more information will be coming out. And this is not being swept under the rug and just dropped.
Yeah, it seems like, essentially, the deep state has kind of been pinned here. They don't know exactly how to get around this. And what happens is the more information you get, the clearer a picture becomes. And what you're starting to realize is that, like...

Chapter 3: How has Thomas Massie's approach changed the narrative around Epstein's case?
Okay, it's Todd Blanche, who's the deputy attorney general. So the number two. to um to um pam bondy and so thomas massey tweets uh this so he tweets out the image of the redacted file Hold on, let me just make sure I pull this up here. Where it doesn't, I'm trying, no, co-conspirator. It says co-conspirator, and then people are redacted. And he says, this is a well-known retired CEO.
DOJ should unredact this. God bless you, Rob. Thank you, sir. So Todd Blanch, now the Deputy Attorney General, It says, the document you cite has numerous victim names. We have just unredacted Les Wexner's name from this document, but his name already appeared in the files thousands of times. DOJ is hiding nothing.
Dude, that's actually you're caught red handed breaking the law, breaking the law. This is black and white, dude. It's a co-conspirator is redacted. OK, you broke the law. You know, it's one of the things that's so frustrating. And it really, Rob, this gets to the very core of why people care about this Epstein story so much. And it's because we live in anarcho tyranny.
You know, we live under this giant, powerful central state in Washington, D.C. that rules over all the rest of us, that we all pay a third to half of our income to every year. That that regulates us and taxes us.
And and man, if you get something wrong on your documents, when you got when you're not allowed to redact information, Rob, when you're required annually to open up all of your records to the federal government, even though they know what they are.
if you get it wrong they'll throw the book at you you know if you if you own a small business and you don't have like a wheelchair accessible ramp they will shut your business down they will we live in this world where if any of us break the rules we get in trouble for that and and but yet epstein and his buddies the ones who are at the highest levels of power they can do anything
anything and get away with it scot-free well right here look at this little example they're caught red-handed redacting a thing they're not legally allowed to redact and then his thing is he appears in tons of places in the files you know yeah but you redacted the document that called him a co-conspirator in soliciting underage prostitution That's what he's a co-conspirator in.
Not just sex trafficking. Sex trafficking children. That's what he's a co-conspirator in. That's what the document says. And, you know, again, Rob, like it's always been true. What do they ā I can't ā I always remember ā I always remembered it that the charge was called soliciting sex from an underage prostitute, but it was like ā
It was something like, I forget the exact language of it, but it is such a euphemism, soliciting sex from an underage prostitute. In other words, attempting to rape a child. Is that what you mean? There's no such thing as a 14-year-old prostitute. There's a 14-year-old rape victim.

Chapter 4: Who are the powerful individuals implicated in the Epstein scandal?
Yeah. Here, let's play the other Massey clip that we haven't played yet because he went and did an interview last night. Let's play that one.
An example of something, maybe it wasn't intentional on their part. I'd like to hear his take on the redaction of the CEO, who's listed as a co-conspirator in the 2019 child sex trafficking case.
So can I ask you, because, and I want to ask if this is the same person, Todd Blanch also said about that tonight, that the document you're citing there has victim names in it. Correct. To say that's why there are redactions. He said we have just unredacted Les Wexner's name from this document, but his name already appears in the file thousands of other times.
And he says the Justice Department is hiding nothing. Is that the retired CEO? That you're referencing?
It is. He unredacted it after I found it. That's a problem. And I'm glad they've admitted they made a mistake by redacting that.
So you're saying it was redacted when you went in there today. And after you tweeted that, they unredacted it.
Correct.
Now he's got four other names he needs to unredact. How bad is CNN at doing their jobs? Like, she's figuring out as it's going on. So, by the way, because this is an interesting moment. This is the moment Thomas Massey realizes that they unredacted it. He's not saying it yet. He's going a well-known CEO, which I will be saying on the house floor tomorrow.
So I'm giving you guys the chance to do it. And then she's finding out. And then she's like, not even the dumb CNN lady. Like they just don't even do their homework. They're literally not as good as an average political podcast. Like it's just unbelievable.

Chapter 5: What actions did the Justice Department take regarding redactions in Epstein's files?
Right? It's not even just, like, raping a child. It's, like, organized pedophilia. Like, organized rape of children. So, yes, that's a big deal. And I'm sorry, but, like, as soon as they unredact it, that's an admission that Thomas Massey's right. That you didn't need to redact this. This didn't protect a victim, and it wasn't a threat to national security. Right? In fact...
It's so funny, Rob, because they use, as you know, they use national security for just about anything they want to do. But the only real threat to national security here, Rob, is what? Is that there's still blackmail out there. There's still people in powerful positions who have this information controlled by somebody, potentially. This is actually a threat to national security. But
It is, I don't know. It's just a pretty incredible exchange. Here, let's play the rest of this.
Four other names he needs to unredact. Did he respond to that? There's a list of 20 people. And there's four men in there that need to be unredacted. Here's another troubling thing that I found.
Can you say who those four men are tonight?
I don't think they're well known. And so if I did, it wouldn't matter, but I could probably say them on the floor of the house. But I'll give the DOJ a chance to do what they did in these two examples where I've discovered something and now they've responded.
So that's it. Now, I believe the list of the names has come out. I think Rokohana read them on the House floor. It was not names I know. The only two names that were names I knew were Les Wexner and... Not that I knew his name, but that was relevant, was the Sultan in the UAE. But the other are guys. And then, Rob, as you said, right? Then that opens up a whole other investigation.
It's like, okay, well, then you got five more names here. Well, who's connected to those names and all this stuff? So... As you said, this is part one, but man, what has been exposed here in the last day is that What? I mean, what can you say about this? Goddamn, you know, Dan Bongino was over there bragging.
I mean, it was stupid when he said it, but bragging about how the Trump administration is so transparent. I don't think so. And in fact, they've been working since they made the pivot last summer to try to cover the thing up. They've been working the whole way through to continue to cover this shit up. They're still actively covering up the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

Chapter 6: How does the public perceive the handling of Epstein's case by authorities?
Yeah, that is fucking... Square that circle that you were creeped out from a guy, but then were willing to hang out with him with your wife and kids. Now, I don't know enough about the logistics of island boat trips that perhaps that was the only place that they could have lunch. They couldn't make other lunch arrangements that they really wanted to be on Epstein's Island.
But then just speaking to another thing that I've said before... How come there isn't a record of interviewing every single person that was a staff member on that island? That seems like really good leads for uncovering. You know, it's not like this is an ancient civilization from a thousand years ago or like the pyramids and we can't possibly figure out what was going on at these pyramids.
How do they build these pyramids? You got all the people that were working there. You can bring all of them in front of Congress or at least have them sit down with the FBI and be like, what did you see? And I don't know why those people aren't guilty of as co-conspirators. Talk about no co-conspirators.
If you're working on the sex dungeon Island, theoretically, I mean, if it wasn't, then I guess all these people can, uh, uh, you know, testify that it wasn't. And then you might have to find another lane of investigation, but I think he could probably give immunity and find one person who's willing to tell the tale of what they saw.
Yeah. And I think the, um, You know, the thing about it is, right, is like that this is and this is really what's revealing about. Well, I mean, it's first and foremost, Donald Trump, but Pam Bondi, Cash Patel, Dan Bongino, that it's like they they went in there with us like we're going to get to the bottom of it. And then they were like, guys, we did the most exhaustive search ever.
And there's just nothing pointing to any of this. And then as soon as we get a look at it, we are like, oh, my God. And you go, oh, you guys didn't even try. That really is the lesson here, that you guys did not even try. And look, it's... Who knows what's in any of these individuals' hearts or what they were motivated by? Look, you're staring into the abyss when you look at this.
And it's quite possible that they had access to much more than what we're seeing here. It's likely, right? Or actually, it's a certainty, but it's a question of how much more they had access to. But this shit is so dark.
so disturbing and goes all the way up to the top that it's possible a bunch of them they just looked at it got shook and said i'm not i want no part of that and like fair enough i don't i'm not even like i don't know i mean i am judging but like i guess i can kind of understand part of that it's just that like then then the move is you gotta step aside and go
You don't get to then try to do damage control on all the rest of us, you know? This shit is just too goddamn wild.

Chapter 7: What tactics did Thomas Massie use to expose the DOJ's actions?
That's P-R-O-L-O-N-L-I-F-E.com slash P-O-T-P for this special offer of 15% off the five-day nutrition program. That's ProLonLife.com slash P-O-T-Pay. All right, let's get back into the show. Jeez, Rob.
I can't answer it.
Yeah, I mean, what is that? And why aren't you answering ā why isn't your answer something like absolutely not? That did not ever happen. I don't know why. I would never give Jeffrey Epstein access to my ā it's not that I recall. Oh, not that I recall. Like ā I don't know, Rob.
I've never been in the situation where the most famous pedophile in the world had asked for the information of the people who take care of my kids. I've never been in that situation before. But I can guarantee you, Rob, that I would recall it if it had happened. If you were asking me whether that happened, I'd go, no.
And I don't it's not like if I if I'm remembering correctly, that didn't happen. Why would you have to caveat that with lawyer coached wording? Like, that's just wild. I don't know about by the way, did you see this one? Because it's so it's so pathetic, man. I just and again, I know, I don't think we've done one episode on the Epstein thing where I don't.
like uh um mention this at all but it's like uh um mention this at all but it's like uh um mention this at all but it's just so pathetic the way uh the trump just so pathetic the way uh the trump just so pathetic the way uh the trump loyalists are running cover for him i loyalists are running cover for him i loyalists are running cover for him i see these guys these accounts on see these guys these accounts on see these guys these accounts on twitter um and you know dude like twitter um and you know dude like twitter um and you know dude like these these accounts are like these these accounts are like
You know, the ones that a year ago were fucking retweeting everything I posted and fucking commenting on all my hell. Yeah, Dave, let's go. You know what I mean? Like they were all about this shit a year ago. They would have been all about justice for the Epstein victims and draining the swamp and uncovering the shit. And they're tweeting out shit today.
And they'll be like, Democrats protect pedophiles. You know, like. Oh, it's Democrats now, is it? Okay. The Republicans are just absolved of this. But they were making a big deal out of this. There was one document that said that Donald Trump had called the chief of police.
down there in mar-a-lago uh about jeffrey epstein and he was kind of one of the people who was like well you guys should look into this guy he's he's sketchy and they're trying to make that see the the the files don't implicate donald trump they exonerate him and blah blah now forget that there's some other stuff in the files that don't look so good for donald trump but you're like guys that doesn't make it better like if donald trump

Chapter 8: What implications does the Epstein case have on elite accountability in America?
We spent about two hours there, and we learned that 70 to 80 percent of the files are still redacted. In fact, there were six wealthy, powerful men that the DOJ hid for no apparent reason. When Congressman Massey and I pointed this out to the Department of Justice, they acknowledged their mistake, and now they have revealed the identity of these six powerful men.
These men are Salvatore Navarro, Zorab Michelades, Leopig Leonor, Nicola Caputa, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulaym, CEO of Dubai Ports World, and billionaire businessman Leslie Wexner, who was labeled as a co-conspirator by the FBI. Now, my question is, why did it take Thomas Massey and me going to the Justice Department to get these six men's identities to become public?
And if we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those three million files. But the story gets worse. The reality is that Donald Trump's FBI scrubbed these files in March, long before Thomas Massie and I passed the Epstein Transparency Act. Now, my bill is clear. The Epstein Transparency Act requires them to unredact those FBI files.
And yet the Justice Department said to me and to Congressman Massie, we just uploaded whatever the FBI sent us. And guess what? The FBI sent scrubbed files.
That means the survivor's statement to the FBI, naming rich and powerful men who went to Epstein's Island, who went to his ranch, who went to his home and raped and abused underage girls or saw underage girls being paraded, they're all hidden. They're all redacted. It's a little bit of a force.
They're inviting all the members of Congress to go to see the Department of Justice quote unquote unredacted files, but they've got all redacted files from the FBI. And it's not the fault of the Justice Department attorneys. They were just told upload things that Donald Trump's FBI had already scrubbed.
It's a blatant violation of the Epstein Transparency Act, but it also asks a fundamental question. Who are they protecting? Why are they protecting these rich and powerful men, people I call part of the Epstein class? Why are we in a country where there is no elite accountability for people who do the most heinous things? You have in England,
the king now calling for an investigation and possible prosecution of his own brother. You have in Norway the princess who no longer has support to be the queen. And yet in the United States of America, we have someone in the cabinet, Howard Lutnick, who is all over these Epstein files, who allegedly had business with Epstein after he was convicted of pedophilia, and he still is in the cabinet.
We need to ask ourselves, are we in America going to have elite accountability? Are we going to call on rich and powerful people who broke the law or cavorted with a pedophile, a convicted pedophile? Are we going to call them to account?
