Good evening, Lemon Nation. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Welcome to Lemon Live at 5. I am thrilled that you are here. We are on time because this morning we're a little bit late because I didn't get in until after midnight, in bed at 5 o'clock. Still recovering from New Year's Eve and recovering from someone, the guest who's going to be on, just happened to be there a little bit, New Year's Eve, Eve. and we got to hang out with him. So I'm grateful, glad to have him on. You probably saw him on the thumbnail. You guys know I'm talking about James Carville. I'll bring him in in a minute. But hit the like, hit the thumbnail, because it does affect the algorithm. More people become aware of our channel, and that's very important because we do some good work over here, and we have some great guests like we're going to have in moments.
This caught my eye today after we heard about Maduro and all the Maduro hoopla. I saw this, and I said, you know what? I got to get in touch with this man. Roll it.
there are a corrupt group of people never ever underestimate what Trump will do to try to survive and draw attention away from Jeffrey Epstein. And the fact that we're getting ready to be average people are plunged into health insurance that they can't pay while we've run up $3 trillion in debt, given people make over $500,000 a year, massive tax cuts. That's what's really going on in this country. You need to know it. And you need to change it come November of this year.
I agree. James Carbo is here. He is a veteran political strategist. That's all I need to say. A legend. Good to see you, James. Thank you, Don.
You're a legend yourself.
So, James, you know what? Hey, great minds. I don't know if I have a great mind, but I got to tell you, I had not seen this, but this was my morning show before I saw what you said. This is what I said. Watch. What's in those Epstein files? I mean, come on, what is in those Epstein files? Because every time that story gets close to daylight, something else explodes. A new crisis, a new emergency, a new headline that pulls everyone's attention away. We were promised transparency. We were promised the truth. Instead, we got delays. We got silence. We got noise. And then suddenly, nobody's talking about Epstein right now. What is he so afraid of, James?
Well, that's what we don't know, but we know there's something. Okay. We can tell by his behavior that he's very, very scared. He's a scared old man. We have a lot of reason. to suspect that there's a lot more to find out every time I turn around. I don't know. Somebody said 2 million more, 5 million more. I don't know how much information the government had on this guy. Who the hell has 5 million pages on him? But it's clear that he wanted to divert attention from the FCA files.
Did Trump’s strike on Venezuela aim to distract from the Epstein files?
And by the way, it's clear it worked. It's been as well as every way. If you look at the search of the number of times Epstein's name appeared in the press, to five days before Venezuela compared to the five days after, it would be mind boggling. So in his mind, this worked. And the danger is he'll pull something similar to divert attention.
I quoted or paraphrased the former President Barack Obama who told us before the election, James, that the dangers of seeing Trump back in the White House. And he said, we've seen this movie before and the sequel is always worse. Don't we know that? And Barack Obama was right. And every time Donald Trump pulls something, he gets away with it.
Why does James Carville say Trump uses crises to survive politically?
And then we go back to the Epstein files. He does another thing. He starts rounding people up without due process. He's defying federal judges. And then the next thing will be worse, as you say. What could be worse than this?
I don't know. I knew it was going to be bad a year ago. You knew it was going to be bad a year ago. You had no idea it was going to be this bad. Yet you knew they were going to resort to, shall we say, financial shenanigans to profit themselves. We couldn't imagine this. We couldn't imagine how much crypto was designed to help them get rich. We couldn't imagine any of this stuff.
