Chapter 1: What explosive information was revealed in the Epstein document release?

0.436 - 18.058 Ben Mycelis

38,000 references to Donald Trump in the partial release of Epstein files on Friday. I say partial release because only 3 million documents have been produced. We believe there may be as many as 3 million more documents, perhaps 50 million pages that are still being hidden.

0

18.078 - 40.012 Ben Mycelis

And based on my experience as a litigator, I believe the most devastating documents have not yet been produced, but there have been bombshells. As noted just moments ago, 38,000 references to Donald Trump. He appears in 5,000 separate files in some of the most grotesque and vile ways. But Donald Trump says it is a complete vindication of him. It isn't.

0

40.613 - 45.822 Ben Mycelis

When you actually look at these files, the cabal, that Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans were talking about?

0

Chapter 2: How did the Trump DOJ respond to the Epstein document disclosures?

45.842 - 61.206 Ben Mycelis

Well, turns out it's in the White House right now. Howard Lutnick is all over it. Elon Musk is all over it. Peter Thiel is all over it. The whole crew is mentioning, oh, Steve Bannon was having like daily conversations with Epstein. It's all right there.

0

61.186 - 81.866 Ben Mycelis

and for me not getting conspiratorial i'm just gonna read the documents and share with you what they say and i'll be clear you know some of them are just allegations some of them are statements of contemporaneous writings between epstein and others you form your own opinions but These are the documents. These are the emails. These are the confidential informant reports.

0

82.166 - 101.582 Ben Mycelis

We'll go through them again, but we've done some deep dives here on the Midas Touch Network where we've gone over extensively the 3 million documents that have been produced. We'll talk about Donald Trump shutting down the Kennedy Center. after staff has been quitting, performers have been canceling their shows, and no one has been showing up to attend.

0

101.903 - 119.07 Ben Mycelis

Donald Trump took a crown jewel of Washington, D.C., a true treasure, and in record time he destroyed it by vandalizing it with putting his name on it. We'll cover that. We should talk about this massive victory for Democrats in Texas.

0

119.05 - 138.004 Ben Mycelis

Texas State Senate District number nine had a special election that oddly took place on a Saturday when nobody was expecting it, except if you live in Texas, but it was very much hyped up in Texas. There was not a low voter turnout. There was a high turnout, but independents and Republicans voted Democrat

137.984 - 159.807 Ben Mycelis

taylor remit the democratic candidate union worker who fought for workers rights and affordability won by plus 14 in what was previously a plus 17 trump district that's a plus 31 over performance by democrats and then donald trump's like uh i don't even know who the candidate is lee wamgans the mega republican

Chapter 3: What shocking details emerged about Trump's connections to Epstein?

159.787 - 182.337 Ben Mycelis

who's that donald trump like continued to endorse her over and over again and now pretends that he didn't even know who the republican candidate was there that's a little bit of insight into the future mega republicans and actually it's a blast from the past because this is what trump does he uses you abuses you and then throws you under the bus.

0

182.357 - 208.448 Ben Mycelis

We'll also talk about the Wall Street Journal exclusive about how Trump and Witkoff's company, World Liberty Financials, like the Trump kids and the Witkoff kids are in this company together. And they got $500 million from the United Arab Emirates. And this was before there was even a product. that existed in this company. So it was basically money that went directly to the Trumps and Witkoffs.

0

208.488 - 229.095 Ben Mycelis

And then shortly thereafter, during the Trump term so far, Trump gave the United Arab Emirates access to the most highly classified semiconductor chips that the United States has that no prior American administration would even think about giving to the United Arab Emirates. And then earlier today, Donald Trump said, I know nothing about it.

0

229.075 - 241.829 Ben Mycelis

I know they like Bitcoin, but I know not what, what are we talking about here? I know nothing about it. We'll talk about that and more here on the Midas Dutch podcast. I'm Ben Myselish joined by Brett and Jordy brothers. How are you doing?

0

242.67 - 259.51 Brett

Doing great. Doing great. Ben doing great. Jordy doing great. Midas mighty. It's great to be here. Everybody on this Monday, Tuesday, if you're listening on audio, you know, it was interesting when we saw the Don Lemon arrest go down the other day. I don't know why. I had this instinctual gut feeling.

259.59 - 277.172 Brett

I'm like, they must be getting ready to drop another round of Epstein Files because this is so ridiculous and insane that, you know, I know it's become a cliche at this point to say that they're trying to distract from something, but I was like, this is just way too freaking weird. And I think not an hour after I said that,

277.152 - 295.103 Brett

Did Todd Blanch get out there and then announce this new trove of the Epstein documents? And while Trump tries to go out there and say, you know, basically what he says every time he's in trouble, I'm fully exonerated. Everything's great. It actually says I'm good. Those files were bad. Those files were horrible. horrific to watch.

295.263 - 310.721 Brett

I went fully down the rabbit hole all weekend, pouring through a ton of files. There were 3 million of them. I went through as many as I can. I was searching keywords, key phrases, and the things that we found here and that other people have found are truly horrifying.

310.781 - 332.907 Brett

And I think it even goes beyond the fact, and we'll talk about this in greater detail, beyond the fact that this was a child sex trafficking ring and a sex trafficking ring in general, but it really shows this kind of behind-the-scenes elites, the way they use their network to get things done. You know, thinking back, every accusation is a confession.

Chapter 4: How did the recent Texas election reflect changing political dynamics?

449.971 - 468.062 Unknown

And we're not going to let up. We're not going to let anything just go unanswered. We're going to turn over every single rock. Again, the collective we hear. I'm excited to get into today's show. Before I toss it over to you, to Benji, I made this bold prediction here for the Midas Touch Network last episode. Now, within the 30 days, that was three days ago, so I guess now 27 days I have,

0

468.042 - 478.055 Unknown

We're going to hit 6 million subscribers to our YouTube channel. We are just 90,000 subscribers away. At the time of this recording, I'm feeling bullish.

0

Chapter 5: What impact did Trump's actions have on the Kennedy Center?

478.215 - 491.733 Unknown

I'm not going to have to shave my head. I think that was the bet that Brett tried to throw in. I'm not going to do it, B, because the Midas Mighty are not going to let us down. We are going to hit 6 million subscribers by the end of this month. So please check to see if you're subscribed. You may think you're subscribed, but you might not actually be.

0

491.973 - 497.56 Unknown

So check to see that you're subscribed to the Midas Touch YouTube channel right now. Benji, where to, big bro?

0

497.54 - 525.471 Ben Mycelis

The Trump cover-up of the child sex trafficking ring sadly follows a predictable pattern with bad actors. First, they obstruct and refuse to turn over documents, then they get cornered, and then they do a doc dump. And they will put in the doc dump bad documents to make you think, well, that must be it because why would they turn this over if they're hiding more?

0

525.67 - 546.847 Ben Mycelis

And then they're usually using that dock dump as a moat, if you will, think about a moat around a castle to hide the real treasure of the most devastating documents. So when people ask me, well, why would they turn that over? Well, because they're probably hiding much worse documents.

0

546.948 - 574.48 Ben Mycelis

And if you go back and you read some of the court filings that the Trump DOJ made, they've told federal judges that they are withholding documents on the basis of privilege claims. And a privilege in a lawsuit is a claim that a litigant can assert for not producing documents. Ultimately, a federal judge makes a ruling if a privilege claim is valid or not valid.

574.921 - 600.991 Ben Mycelis

But here, the Trump regime is banking on the fact that since there's no active case per se and that the Epstein Transparency Act doesn't have a written private cause of action that says here's who has standing to sue, that a federal judge can't intervene and make a ruling that a privileged claim is invalid.

601.432 - 618.174 Ben Mycelis

You'll recall when Ro Khanna and Thomas Massey, the Congress members behind the Epstein Transparency Act, filed in federal court in the active federal cases or inactive in the sense that Epstein is dead and Ghislaine Maxwell is convicted of child sex trafficking.

Chapter 6: How are powerful figures like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel connected to Epstein?

618.494 - 643.648 Ben Mycelis

But there has been a lot of activity in those cases. in the kind of post-trial motions. But when Massey and Khanna said, we need an independent monitor and a special master, remember the Trump DOJ swooped in and said, no special master. These Congress members don't have standing. It's a case between the DOJ and Ghislaine Maxwell, and we don't want a special master.

0

643.688 - 668.374 Ben Mycelis

So judge, you don't have any authority to appoint an independent monitor or special master. And you don't have any ability to intervene in this judge. And remember what the judges said. Unfortunately, I guess that's right. I don't have the ability even if we want to. But boy, were Massey and Khanna right, right? They were prescient in making that request. But this is what the DOJ is doing.

0

668.414 - 684.933 Ben Mycelis

They want to rule on their own privilege claims. And the types of privilege claims that they're making behind the scenes, and this is why they haven't submitted the report about where their redactions are coming from and what they're withholding, they're claiming deliberative process privilege.

0

684.953 - 697.545 Ben Mycelis

That means internal drafts, internal memos within the FBI, inter and intra office correspondence, attorney client privilege, work product privilege, executive privilege.

0

697.525 - 722.638 Ben Mycelis

so they're making all of these claims to avoid producing those millions of documents which may be highly highly relevant i just want to put that out from the outset also i want to say from the outset that the survivors are absolutely furious right now because they've been outed in these files over and over again this the task

722.618 - 745.268 Ben Mycelis

that Trump DOJ had since last February is just protect the survivors' names and release all of the files. And instead, the Trump regime is still withholding 3 million plus documents, and that's documents. Those may be 20, 30, 40 pages per document, which is why I say there may be 50 million pages of 3 million documents still outstanding.

745.467 - 765.435 Ben Mycelis

but you were able to identify the survivors' names, addresses, social security, and other identifying information. There was an entire file that we were able to access at the Midas Touch Network that had photographs of underage girls. and minors that were just out there. And we had to reach out.

765.556 - 785.869 Ben Mycelis

As much as I didn't want to reach out to the DOJ or have any contact, we flagged it with Aaron Parnas for the DOJ and said, take this down. There's underage girls in your file. What the hell are you doing? And so think about the retraumatizing of these victims and survivors that photos of them as underage girls have been produced.

785.849 - 810.726 Ben Mycelis

so they did that and then these survivors filed an emergency motion on monday to the federal judge saying judge please help us and the federal judge said a status conference for later this week and said let me try to do what i can but i don't know what i could even do as a federal judge because our system is based on the concept that the doj is supposed to be the good guys

Chapter 7: What does the latest polling suggest about public sentiment toward Trump?

1001.706 - 1004.029 Unknown

And I never talked to him.

0

1004.009 - 1028.329 Brett

ever again that's a really good that's a really good look again sure enough you've been working on it I could tell and and you and sure enough you know a decade later he's still talking to Howard Lutnick and we see it in the emails that literally made plans for Howard Lutnick to or he's still talking to Jeffrey Epstein you see plans um Howard Lutnick going to Epstein's Island

0

1028.309 - 1047.533 Brett

Um, Epstein's asked him if he's bringing children with him. Uh, Lutnik says, I think he was like bringing his whole family with him. Um, and then there's an email that comes after the kind of plans are made, which basically confirms or appears to confirm, I should say, um, that Lutnik actually did go to the island on this occasion where they said, uh, it was nice seeing you there.

0

1047.513 - 1077.3 Brett

how jeffrey wanted me to uh pass this message along nice seeing you howard and so we saw that with him we see with elon musk where elon's like elon's like jeffrey epstein uh jeff jeffrey i really need to let loose this weekend work is stressing me out could you please tell me what day your wildest parties on the island are going to be i would really like to go to your wildest parties these are all people who have been pretending like oh once i learned about that guy i was disgusted and i'm never going to ever associate myself with the guy

0

1077.28 - 1095.542 Brett

But as I was saying, as you look at this, I think there's the sex trafficking operation angle of this, which is depraved and appalling and horrifying. And then there, I think, is a broader story that was being told, especially in this latest email batch. And it's a story about power.

1095.522 - 1118.475 Brett

And I think, you know, when you speak about things like rape or sexual assault, oftentimes, I would say all the time, it's not about sex. It's about power. It's about dominance. And these emails reveal a culture of people who are predators, who are preying on everybody, almost the entire world. Donald Trump spoke about this idea of a deep state when he was running.

1118.455 - 1140.122 Brett

Well, I think one of the most revealing things that at least comes to the surface for me when I'm reading these emails is that it seems like there was this network, this web of these elites, these powerful people. You had people like Jeffrey Epstein. You had people like then Prince Andrew. you know, prime minister of this country, prime minister of that country, the head of the CIA here.

1140.182 - 1157.473 Brett

You had all of these leaders in all of these countries that were using Jeffrey Epstein as an intermediary to get things done, and they were all using each other for favors, and Epstein would help people get certain jobs in certain places when they had issues, when there was people who needed

1157.453 - 1186.65 Brett

uh attorneys because they were accused of sexual assault themselves epstein would try to help them out with that and he would hang these kind of favors over people's head in order to get things that he wants for powerful people and he developed this rolodex with all of this powerful people and it is my belief that they were really shaping global events within their network and using their leverage over each other to do it so i mean some of the biggest events they were talking about in some of these emails like toppling governments i'm talking like really

Chapter 8: What are the implications of the Epstein files for future political accountability?

1387.028 - 1391.373 Unknown

What was Trump's thing? I kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago. I kicked him.

0

1392.054 - 1396.44 Brett

Mike Johnson said he was FBI informant to actually help him. I mean, come on.

0

1396.42 - 1426.242 Unknown

exactly trump's an fbi informant trump kicks him out of mar-a-lago what a what a hero lutnik oh he let nick in those spidey sense instincts of his the first day he met him he went to his wife said no this guy's a sleaze bag we're not going in there lo and behold communications decades later shows that they're buddies uh apparently i mean what other conclusion can you draw there it's because there's not an honest bone in any of these people's bodies these people will do whatever it takes to continue to enrich themselves

0

1426.222 - 1449.563 Unknown

at the expense of anybody else and really like the really disgusting portion of of it here is that how they decided uh apparently to to kind of i'm talking about like the real like deal like the epstein you know all of that like the epstein inner circle is is how they just There's a human element to all of this, is what I'm getting at.

0

1450.064 - 1472.817 Unknown

And what these men did, and I'm not saying Lutnik in particular, that's not what I'm saying here, but what these men did to these girls on Epstein's Island and how they abused these girls and how they raped these children, to me, is just utterly appalling. And now we come decades later and the information's getting out there, and now just the re-traumatization

1472.797 - 1502.382 Unknown

of it all with the mishandling of the epstein file released to me is just absolutely disgusting and the fact that they just can't own that they are fumbling the release of these files that they aren't doing their due diligence trying to protect the victims to me is just so again disgusting and upsetting for for so many different ways i don't know how you feel about binge well i do know how you feel about it actually but like for you when you see the mishandling of these documents

1502.868 - 1513.404 Unknown

To me, it almost feels intentional with just how poorly the redactions are and what we're seeing come out. Can you comment from like your lawyer side of it, just how badly they're fumbling this?

1513.805 - 1538.827 Ben Mycelis

This is a simple document production. It's actually not complex at all. Every day, back when we had competent federal prosecutors, And for any civil litigators out there watching this who handle complex cases involving financial fraud or what have you, you deal with terabytes of documents all the time.

1539.588 - 1549.243 Ben Mycelis

The number three to five million documents or pages in my world when I was a litigator, that's actually not a lot of documents.
