What is happening as the DOJ begins releasing the Epstein files at the deadline?
Welcome to the program, everyone. Support comes from ZBiotics. Now, I've told you before, I'm not trying to wake up the day after a night out feeling like, you know, I lost the fight with the couch. That's why I use ZBiotics pre-alcohol before I have my first drink. ZBiotics pre-alcohol is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic invented by PhD scientists. And here's the key. This is the thing to know. When you drink, alcohol turns into a toxic byproduct right in your gut. It's not dehydration that makes you feel rough the next day. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme that breaks that down. And for me, it's simple. I take it before my first drink. I enjoy myself. I drink responsibly. And I feel like myself the next morning.
So you've got holiday parties happening right now, dinners, even tailgates. Bring pre-alcohol. New Year's, right? Bring pre-alcohol along so you can enjoy the night and still show up the next day. So go to zbiotics.com slash lemon. Use the code lemon for 15% off of your first order. They've got a 100% money back guarantee. No questions asked. That's zbiotics.com slash lemon. Use the code lemon. Now let's get started. Yeah, let's get started. And after this, when you get what I'm talking about, good evening, everybody. You might need a drink. You might need a Z Biotics. Okay. Hi, everybody. Hit the like and hit the thumbs up. I'm exasperated. I'm not defeated. I'm not. I'm just exasperated because I think you're going to be exasperated as well.
So thank you so much for joining. And I... Just going to be, you guys know I'm always transparent. I love y'all. Like and thumbs up. Remember that. Thank you for joining. Let me know where you're streaming from. I always like to know that. I love y'all, but I hate to say this because I know that this is breaking news. I know that is a big deal. I know that finally that they're releasing these Epstein files, but damn. I don't trust it. I'm so glad. Whoever just said in the chat that the DOJ is playing in our faces, you are right. I hate to say that. I really do. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I don't live my life just assuming that everybody is lying. Look, I'm not like Candace Owens where I'm coming up with all of these things that there's some secret plot behind every door.
That's just not who I am. But when you get all this information today, when I'm getting all this information, let me move this over a little bit. When I'm getting all this information, I'm like, wait a minute. What is going on here today? Thank you. That's better. We get all this information about stuff. I just don't trust it. And the reason I don't trust it is it isn't like vibes. It's not like a conspiracy theorist on Twitter. I'm not on Twitter. I'm not on social media that way. I'm not down some YouTube rabbit hole. None of that. I just don't trust it because how this has been handled, how they're handling it, and what we're actually seeing right now. I went off this train wreck, made money in the building.
You're right. So let me tell you why, okay? And then I'm going to show you the evidence. I didn't wake up one morning and say, you know, I should say they didn't wake up one morning. saying, you know, it's time to be transparent. It's time to be transparent with the American people. This didn't come from, like, that they were sure that Donald Trump had nothing to do with this. This came from pressure from people like Ro Khanna and Thomas Massey and some of the survivors. They fought... for this release and the government fought this release and then they dragged it out to the 11th hour they slow walked it they resisted it deadline after deadline and now at the very very last minute i mean it's going to get close to midnight they're starting to dump some of these files already admitting that they're not going to meet the deadline to release all of them
Now, let me just show you something. I'm going to show you the files right now, okay? Obviously, that's not a good sign what I said. Let me show you the files right now. You want me to show you the files right now?
