Well, I guess, you know, we're at the end of the Jeffrey Epstein story. That's going to be over pretty shortly. That's going to be, you know, we're done with this. Don't worry about it. We're going to have to come up with something else, team. And then all hell breaks loose. So hello from Tampa to Miriam Mitchell. Let me know where you guys are. Hello to San Francisco, Maureen, everyone. So thank you so much. Someone says that they're in Israel right now.
So thank you. Look, look, look. I don't know if you guys have seen what's happening today. I'm telling you it's getting worse. And I know I keep saying it. It is getting worse and worse and worse by the minute. The more he tells people, hey, I don't want to talk about this. Stop talking about it. The more they're going to continue to ask him. And so far, I have to give. I've got to get for right now. What do you do when a grade when you're like at this moment, the media is passing? I'm not sure if I want to give them a grade. But it's from the voices that I don't usually hear. So keep on him. Keep on Donald Trump. I have the evidence. I'm going to show you what he's saying. It is unbelievable.
What new twist did Trump add to the Epstein files controversy?
But first, the headlines. Let's put one of the headlines up. Trump administration. The president says Epstein critics are being used by the Democrats. This has somehow now become... A Democratic story. It is a Democrat's fault, which is quite shocking to me. Since Donald, since Elon, God, my God, Donald Trump, it's all the same weird characters. Since Jeffrey Epstein was arrested, convicted, sent to prison, convicted and died. It was all while Donald Trump was president. No, I've been saying that, but apparently people aren't getting the point. They don't know. The MAGA stans don't know. Even the MAGA stans that are in the know, and I'm going to show you. Have you guys seen this clip with Bill O'Reilly? Because they don't know.
They hear these things. I guess they're not doing their research. They're not doing their own research like they like to do. And then all of a sudden you have people giving out the wrong information on television, people you would think. Would know better. How embarrassing for Bill O'Reilly. Bill O'Reilly using on top of his game. So anyway, New York Times, that Epstein critics are being used by Democrats. President Trump says Epstein critics are being used by the Democrats. Another headline. This headline is from, is this Axios? Politico. Politico. Trump tells those focused on Epstein he doesn't want their support. Now, you guys remember this morning, if you are in the lives, you remember me telling you, oh, wow, he is saying my former supporters or something like that.
I don't know if we have the tweet from earlier, if we do. He's saying something about like those who used to support me or something like that. And I told you, I was like, he's saying the people who are not on his side with this, those are no longer his supporters. And then he explicitly came out and said exactly what I told you this morning. I told you old people be knowing. old people be knowing now you see let's see where he says it scrolling this a little bit because he said it and i was like wait why is he do you guys remember tell me if you remember this i was saying why is he framing it this way okay so here's where it is the new scam is what we will for forever call the jeffrey epstein hoax and this is what i said what what is he saying here remember i stopped and paused a little bit in phone i was like wait and my past supporters
have bought into this bullshit hook line and sinker. So if you don't support him, then he doesn't care. He doesn't need your support. Perhaps he's trying to shame people and say, you're no longer in the MAGA world. You're not MAGA anymore.
