Welcome to Ben on Breaking News. I'm Ben Mycelis, and this is your Breaking News. Katie Fang, Katie Fang, Katie Fang, Katie Fang, hero. Katie Fang pushing forward when nobody thought it was possible on the Epstein. Well, we thought it was possible. You thought it was possible. But the naysayers in corporate news, the legal pundits, the Midas haters, the Independent news haters, they thought it wasn't possible. Katie Fang pushing ahead, fighting for these survivors, for the Epstein Transparency Act to actually have a modicum of transparency and a big order moments ago from federal judge Sullivan in Washington, D.C., ordering the Trump DOJ regime to show up in federal court next week and to describe why and discuss why they've been violating court order after court order.
This is big, folks. And I think this also shows the power of independent news. And when you have people like Katie Fang out there and Alison Gill and some of these heroes that I am so fortunate to be working with every day, they're putting out the FOIA request. They're fighting. Sometimes people say, look, you guys talk a lot. You talk a lot. But when are you going to walk the walk? How do you show us that you're fighting for us? And I say, look, I'm just humbled and honored to be on the same team as people like Alison and Katie, you know, and others, you know, and I'm a talker. I'm actually not that much of a talker actually when I'm not doing this. If you met me privately, because people all the time, they want to like debate me privately.
And I really am not a talker privately other than what I'm doing. I'm deliberative. I'm a researcher and a reviewer, but I'm actually fairly quiet. I think that's what surprises people when they meet me outside of this. I'm actually pretty quiet and not loud outside of these forums. But I think it's a deliberate loud when it is with the Midas Mighty. And I think it is important, though, to reframe corporate news and redo it as it's been destroyed. Independent news leading the way. But You know, just just incredible. We'll go through that order with you. Right. And it's in contrast to what's also going on in the Southern District of Florida. Right. We all know Trump terrified of BBC. Trump scared BBC and he sued BBC.
BBC. And then BBC fought back against Donald Trump. It said, well, you sued us. So now you're going to participate in discovery. You're going to turn over documents, big guy, or you're going to taco. As the Iranians saw as well, Trump will huff and he'll puff and he'll blow your house down, except when you stand up to that pathetic loser, he backs down.
What is the big federal court order on the Epstein Transparency Act and why does it matter?
If he sues you, put him up for deposition right away. Right away. If he sued us, I don't even think I would file a motion to dismiss. I would say set a trial date. Let's just do the trial. Let's go. Let's go, big guy. Do it in public. Show up in front of a jury and make one of your frivolous rack 12. Put the jurors on. And when you stand up and you fight back against him, we've seen the heroes as well outside of the Midas Touch Network. E. Gene Carroll, David Hearn, Abrego Garcia, the Epstein survivors. They've stood up to the regime. And when you stand up to the regime, the regime reveals they're not the wolf in sheep's clothing. They are the emperor with no clothes in the sheep's clothing. They are empty, empty vessels, empty vessels where people can put in
their hatreds, their resentments, their anger, their divisions, their fascism. That's what it is. That's what MAGA is. You follow the yellow brick road or the fake gilded bronze statue reflecting pool road, and it leads you to The Wizard of Oz with no clothes. A coward. Pathetic coward in 1600 Pennsylvania. Who now, pathetic coward. Look at that. Look at that thing. Look at that scumbag. Look at that thing. Natalie Harp following him behind him. Where's Natalie Harp at? She's always usually by his side. Is she around? Natalie? Oh, there you are. Human printer. There's Natalie. There she is. You know, that's who he flew back with on Marine One, drinking a Diet Coke at 2 a.m., not surrounded by advisors, not surrounded by top people giving him advice as America continues to get humiliated abroad.
