Why are Don Lemon and Mike Nellis focused on the Epstein files right now?
What's your dog's name? I see your dog behind you. Boomer. Boomer. Boomer Sooner. You can see him? Yeah. I just like the faint outline of him, like his shadow off the wall, and then I saw his tail wagging. We're live, and you're talking about my dog. I think that's what people like about us, Don.
Yes, I think so. And speaking of dogs... What is, why? Has Donald Trump lost his mind over this Epstein thing? Is this going to end him? Like, what is going on?
I don't know if it'll end him, but the bedrock of his entire political career is built on conspiracy theories. And he gave a home to a bunch of people that believe that Barack Obama was not born in the United States. And those people are the core of MAGA. They're not everybody who voted for him. And they are pissed right now. He keeps posting on Truth Social. He's getting ratioed by his own supporters. This morning, he called them all weaklings. Libs of TikTok, who's one of Trump's biggest supporters online, posted something that was like, every time he opens his mouth about Epstein, he makes this worse. And I hate it. It's true. It's true. I mean, he's clearly terrified, which I can only assume is because he's in the Epstein files.
I think that is, at this point, a given. But also because he's protecting other powerful people.
Look, it's something weird. It's either that or a combination of, or there's something about it. For all of a sudden, he's like, stop talking about it. And I'm like, wait, what? How far, I mean, okay, before we go to how far he's going to go, I mean, I've never seen anything like this. I really don't have the words, and I've been talking about it a lot. A lot of the content I've been doing has been about the Epstein files, and there doesn't seem to be an end to it. Every time he opens his mouth, every time Pam Bondi opens her mouth. So now all of a sudden, Pam Bondi is being questioned. She's out there taking questions, trying to avoid it, saying, I'm not going to, you know, saying, well, we have so many other things to cover, and, you know, there are more important issues.
I'm not going to answer questions about it. That's where she is now, when she was on Fox News and other places going, oh, my gosh, so much is going to be released. The file is on my desk right now. And then you have Donald Trump, who's out there telling people, not to talk about it, yet he's talking about it. And then Dan Bongino and Kash Patel are nowhere to be found. It's bizarre. By the way, smash the screen, everyone. Hit the hearts for us.
Yeah, please. And tell us where you're from, too. I always love seeing that in the comments. I mean, look, it's telling to me who are the people that are the quietest right now. which is Dan Bagino, Kash Patel, who are all over social media talking about how when they take over the FBI, they're going to expose what happened with Epstein. They're going to expose what happened to JFK. And then, you know who else is really quiet right now? J.D.
How is Trump reacting publicly to the Epstein revelations and why does it matter?
Vance. J.D. Vance hasn't said anything in a week. He's been on vacation. He's taking his kids to Disneyland. That guy has the itchiest trigger finger ever. to troll liberals and to troll the media online. And he's got nothing to say about Jeffrey Epstein that tells you everything about the political peril that they're in. Because Vance is quiet when he knows that they're in trouble. And this is day 10 or 11 of this mess.
Oh, really? Yeah. So supposedly, I don't know, as we are taping, I'm getting news that there may be a possible story coming from the Wall Street Journal, which is a Rupert Murdoch outfit. And they're going to see if it clears the legal process. Again, this is just according to a source. So we'll see if it comes true by the time this airs. It may be out and we may have seen it. But as of this taping, they're saying no evidence of illegal activity, but just not the best look at all.
Which is kind of what people thought anyways.
You know what I'm saying?
Sorry, what does that mean? Like no illegal activity on what, on Epstein? I don't know what it means.
No, no, no, no, no, not for Epstein.
