What new Epstein emails did House Democrats release and why did the media react strongly?

Ben Shapiro 0:00
More Epstein emails drop, and the media go insane. But is there any there there? Plus, we'll get to the government shutdown, President Trump's affordability pitch, and much more first. We had 10,000 lifetime memberships when we launched. Fewer than 2,000 remain. One payment, all access for life. And just a reminder, lifetime memberships will never go on sale.

Don't miss it. Friendly Fire, next Wednesday, November 19th at 7 p.m. Eastern, only on Daily Wire+. Already, folks, well, it's a brand new day, and that means it's time for more Epstein revelations. Now, the reason these Epstein revelations are happening is really because there was a discharge petition that was put forward late last night in the House of Representatives, signed on to by several stray Republicans, rogue Republicans, some of whom are very much oriented against the Trump administration. in order to shame President Trump by saying that there ought to be a widespread release of more documents. In a little while, we'll get to what exactly this discharge petition would do, even if it were passed in the House and then passed again in the Senate, which, again, is likely to die in the Senate.

But Democrats had to chum the waters. They had to make everybody interested in Epstein again. So they decided to do this in their usual fashion, which is to selectively release three emails, three emails, Now, Republicans then responded by releasing 20,000 emails, but Democrats released three. And this was supposed to be a shame tactic directed at President Trump that was going to demonstrate full scale that he was in Jeffrey Epstein's pocket or that Jeffrey Epstein was blackmailing Donald Trump or that Jeffrey Epstein had untoward material about Trump, which is why Trump has been so reluctant to allow for the release of more materials. Now, the reason that President Trump has said that he is not into the release of more materials is he says there are already tens of thousands of pages of materials out there.
Ben Shapiro 2:00
And courts have already barred the release of an enormous number of these materials on the basis of victim protection. And the FBI is doing the same. And so you can yell and scream about it as much as you want, but these discharge petitions, these attempts to pry more documents out, they are likely to fail even on the court level. So really what this is, is according to President Trump, an attempt to, by implication, humiliate him. And it really does feel like that based on what Democrats did yesterday. So Democrats dropped three emails. These three emails were, shall we say, less than edifying with regard to the broad conspiracy theories that have been put out there about Jeffrey Epstein. Now, as I've said a thousand times, there are true, open, honest questions to be asked about Jeffrey Epstein.
Ben Shapiro 2:45
How did he make all of his money? Where did all that money come from? Why was one media mogul paying him something like $158 million to do his taxes and look for tax breaks? Why was another mogul giving him access to a $70 million home in Manhattan, right? These are very real questions that require very real answers. Instead, the entire realm has been filled with the most outlandish speculation. The sort of full case that you have heard retailed in public by many prominent figures is the idea that Jeffrey Epstein was running a child sex trafficking ring, not on behalf of himself, in which he preyed on underage girls. That was the thing that Ghislaine Maxwell is in jail for. The thing she's in jail for is that she helped Jeffrey Epstein procure underage girls for him to violate.
Ben Shapiro 3:33
For him to violate and not for Bill Clinton to violate or Donald Trump to violate or random public figures to violate for Jeffrey Epstein to violate.
