Everything we Know About the Epstein File Release · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: The Attorney General, Pam Bondi, has announced that the Department
0:04
Speaker 1: of Justice plans to release documents related to Jeffrey Epstein today.
0:11
Speaker 1: The documents are expected to include flight logs and names
0:15
Speaker 1: of individuals associated with Jeffrey Epstein. Bondy emphasized the importance
0:21
Speaker 1: of protecting the identities of more than two hundred and
0:23
Speaker 1: fifty victims, which has contributed to the delay in releasing
0:28
Speaker 1: the information. She described the contents of what are in
0:32
Speaker 1: these files as something that is sickening. Take a listen
0:37
Speaker 1: from Fox News.
0:38
Speaker 2: Said last week that you have the Epstein files on
0:41
Speaker 2: your desk, is when can we see them? And what's
0:44
Speaker 2: taking so long to release them?
0:46
Speaker 3: I do, Jesse, there are well over This will make
0:50
Speaker 3: you sick, two hundred victims. Two hundred so we have
0:55
Speaker 3: well over two hundred and fifty actually, so we have
0:58
Speaker 3: to make sure that their identity is protected and their
1:03
Speaker 3: personal information. But other than that, I think tomorrow, you know,
1:07
Speaker 3: the personal information of victims. Other than that, I think tomorrow, Jesse,
1:12
Speaker 3: breaking news. Right now, you're going to see some Epstein
1:15
Speaker 3: information being released by my office.
1:18
Speaker 2: Well, kind are we going to see who was on
1:21
Speaker 2: the flights? Are we going to see any evidence from
1:24
Speaker 2: what he recorded because he had all of his homes
1:27
Speaker 2: wired with recording devices.
1:29
Speaker 3: What you're going to see, hopefully tomorrow is a lot
1:34
Speaker 3: of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot a
1:36
Speaker 3: lot of information. But it's pretty sick what that man.
1:41
Speaker 2: Did, okay well along with his co defendant. Absolutely, and
1:45
Speaker 2: he had help, that's for sure.
1:47
Speaker 1: Did he had help? That's for sure. Now. This announcement
1:51
Speaker 1: follows by Parson pressure from wallmakers for increased transparency regarding
1:56
Speaker 1: Epstein's connections. Sener Marsha Blackburn, for example, Republican from Tennessee,
2:02
Speaker 1: and Representative Anna Paulina Luna, Republican from Florida, have been
2:07
Speaker 1: vocal in urging the release of the Epstein's clients list
2:10
Speaker 1: and related records. The forecoming release aims to provide insight
2:14
Speaker 1: into Epstein's network and associations. Now Epstein, if you remember,
2:20
Speaker 1: he was a financier with ties to numerous high profile individuals.
2:25
Speaker 1: He was arrested in twenty nineteen on federal sex trafficking charges,
2:30
Speaker 1: but died of quote suicide before his trial. His associate,
2:36
Speaker 1: woman by the last name Maxwell, was also convicted in
2:40
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one for her role in recruiting underage girls
2:44
Speaker 1: for Epstein, and she is currently serving a twenty year
2:47
Speaker 1: prison sentence. Now, the release of these documents has anticipated
2:51
Speaker 1: shed further light on the extent of Epstein's activities and associations.
2:56
Speaker 1: What we also are expecting is there is going to
2:58
Speaker 1: be quite a few high profile individuals from the political
3:03
Speaker 1: world that had very close relationships with Jeffrey Epstein. Now,
3:08
Speaker 1: to be clear, if there are Republicans on this list,
3:12
Speaker 1: I want to know exactly what they were doing with
3:15
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. If there are Democrats on this list, I
3:19
Speaker 1: want to know exactly what they were doing with Jeffrey Epstein.
3:23
Speaker 1: In fact, I really don't care if you're a Republican
3:25
Speaker 1: or a Democrat. I care about transparency and the fact
3:29
Speaker 1: that there is an Epstein's client list and yet no
3:33
Speaker 1: one except for Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell have been arrested
3:37
Speaker 1: for all of these heinous crimes, and the hundreds of
3:41
Speaker 1: victims and underage girls they trafficked tells you just how
3:46
Speaker 1: big this cover up actually was. I also want to
3:49
Speaker 1: know why the government didn't act sooner. They had lots
3:53
Speaker 1: of information about Jeffrey Epstein and what he was doing.
3:57
Speaker 1: So who were they protecting in our government or who
4:00
Speaker 1: called off the government from actually doing the job of
4:04
Speaker 1: investigating the heinous crimes against underage girls. This should be
4:10
Speaker 1: what we all should be wanting for transparency, and that's
4:14
Speaker 1: exactly why President Donald Trump and Pam Bondy are saying
4:18
Speaker 1: it's time for you and everyone else to see the list.
4:22
Speaker 1: I also want to remind you that this is another
4:24
Speaker 1: one of Donald Trump's promises. I want to go back
4:27
Speaker 1: seven months ago when he was running for president, and
4:30
Speaker 1: this is what the President said about the Epstein list
4:32
Speaker 1: in an interview.
4:34
Speaker 4: It's just very strange for a lot of people that
4:37
Speaker 4: the list of clients that went to the island has
4:40
Speaker 4: not been made public.
4:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very interesting, isn't It Probably will be, by
4:47
Speaker 5: the way, So if you're able to, you'll be Yeah,
4:50
Speaker 5: certainly take a look at it now. Kennedy's interesting because
4:53
Speaker 5: it's so many years ago. You know, they do that
4:56
Speaker 5: for danger too, because you know it endangers certain people,
5:00
Speaker 5: c et cetera. So Kennedy is very different from the
5:05
Speaker 5: Epstein thing. But yet I'd be inclined to do the Epstein.
5:08
Speaker 5: I'd have no problem with them.
5:11
Speaker 1: Yet again, another promise from the President of the United
5:13
Speaker 1: States of America that he is checking the box on.
5:16
Speaker 1: Early on in his administration, there was a group of
5:19
Speaker 1: individuals that were asked to come to the White House
5:22
Speaker 1: that received part one of the Epstein files. And I'm
5:26
Speaker 1: going to have that guest, Chad Prather join us in
5:30
Speaker 1: just a moment. But before we get to that, I
5:33
Speaker 1: want you to understand the real part of this story
5:36
Speaker 1: that's not being covered accurately. There are a lot of
5:40
Speaker 1: people saying they're angry by what was released, basically implying
5:44
Speaker 1: that there was nothing new there. Well, there's a reason
5:47
Speaker 1: why there was nothing new there, and this is what
5:50
Speaker 1: you need to understand. The Attorney General Pambondi has told
5:54
Speaker 1: the FBI Director Cash Pattel that rogue New York FBI
6:00
Speaker 1: office employees are withholding Epstein files and they are doing
6:05
Speaker 1: this against the wishes and the commands of their bosses
6:11
Speaker 1: that include Cash Hotel, the Attorney General, and the President
6:15
Speaker 1: of the United States of America. Now, the Attorney General
6:18
Speaker 1: Pambondi has directed the FBI Director Patel to handle the
6:22
Speaker 1: seemingly rogue FBI office in New York for repeatedly refusing
6:27
Speaker 1: to provide her with the quote full set of documents
6:30
Speaker 1: related to the late billionaire predator Jeffrey Epstein. That is
6:34
Speaker 1: what a letter from her office revealed to the American
6:38
Speaker 1: people on Thursday. A photo of that letter, dated February
6:43
Speaker 1: the twenty seven, from Bondi to Patel was obtained by
6:47
Speaker 1: independent journalist Tim Poole and confirmed by my guests that
6:52
Speaker 1: they actually receive this letter at the White House briefing. Now,
6:56
Speaker 1: at the White House briefing, they were given Epstein files,
6:59
Speaker 1: fais briefing books on exactly the laying out of what
7:05
Speaker 1: they do have. The big part of the meeting which
7:08
Speaker 1: was not covered accurately was the fact that Pam Bondi
7:11
Speaker 1: and the FBI director explained to them very clearly that
7:16
Speaker 1: there are New York FBI officials that have gone completely rogue.
7:21
Speaker 1: The ag letter says the FBI in New York is
7:24
Speaker 1: withholding the critical Epstein documents. This after the reports of
7:28
Speaker 1: the FBI was secretly destroying FBI documents as well. Bondi
7:33
Speaker 1: began her letter by saying, this, before you came into office,
7:39
Speaker 1: I requested the full and complete files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
7:43
Speaker 1: In response to this request, I received approximately two hundred
7:46
Speaker 1: pages of documents, which consisted primarily of flight logs, Epstein's
7:51
Speaker 1: list of contacts, and a list of victims' names and
7:54
Speaker 1: phone numbers. I repeatedly question whether this was a full
7:58
Speaker 1: set of documents response to my request, and was repeatedly
8:03
Speaker 1: assured by the FBI that we had received the full
8:06
Speaker 1: set of documents. The Attorney General continued before reporting that
8:11
Speaker 1: she got a tip from a source at the FBI
8:14
Speaker 1: Field Office in New York, stating that the bureau was
8:17
Speaker 1: withholding the complete files. Late yesterday, I learned from a
8:23
Speaker 1: source that the FBI Field Office in New York was
8:26
Speaker 1: in possession of thousands of pages of documents related to
8:29
Speaker 1: the investigation and the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein, Bondi continued
8:35
Speaker 1: in her letter to the FBI director. Despite my repeated requests,
8:39
Speaker 1: the FBI never disclosed the existence of any of these files. Now,
8:44
Speaker 1: let's just pause for a second and dissect what we
8:46
Speaker 1: just learned. Pam Bondi, who is the Attorney General the
8:50
Speaker 1: United States of America, who is in charge of the FBI,
8:55
Speaker 1: has rogue deep state officials in the FBI office in
8:59
Speaker 1: New York that deliberately lied to her face and claimed
9:05
Speaker 1: that they had given her all of the documents, when
9:07
Speaker 1: in fact they may have given her less than about
9:10
Speaker 1: ten percent of what they actually have on hand. This
9:14
Speaker 1: is the deep state and just how corrupt our government
9:17
Speaker 1: has become now. Bondi noted that she had already spoken
9:21
Speaker 1: to Caspatel after receiving the tip on Wednesday evening, writing
9:25
Speaker 1: that the FBI director was just as surprised as I
9:29
Speaker 1: was to learn the new information quote unquote. She then
9:33
Speaker 1: handed Caspatel to hard deadlines. These are important for you
9:38
Speaker 1: to understand. By eight am on Friday morning, the FBI
9:43
Speaker 1: will deliver the full and complete Epstein files to my office,
9:46
Speaker 1: including all records, documents, audio and video recordings, and material
9:51
Speaker 1: related to Jeffrey Epstein and his clients, regardless of how
9:54
Speaker 1: such information was obtained. That is deadline number one in
9:58
Speaker 1: this letter. The deadline number two, she says, I'm also
10:02
Speaker 1: directing you to conduct an immediate investigation to why my
10:05
Speaker 1: order to the FBI was not followed. You will deliver
10:09
Speaker 1: to me a comprehensive report of your findings and propose
10:13
Speaker 1: personnel action within fourteen days. In her conclusion, Bondie added
10:19
Speaker 1: that she knows that Patel has committed to transparency for
10:21
Speaker 1: the American people, and that is exactly what they did
10:25
Speaker 1: together at the White House on Thursday. Now, a Department
10:31
Speaker 1: of Justice source corroborated Bonnie's claims that the FBI Field
10:35
Speaker 1: Office in New York with held Epstein files in a
10:38
Speaker 1: statement to Real Clear Politics. The source also claimed that
10:42
Speaker 1: Bondi and Patel are one hundred percent on the same page.
10:45
Speaker 1: Real Clear Politics wrote it this way, saying, quote new
10:49
Speaker 1: the Attorney General Bondi recently discovered within the last forty
10:52
Speaker 1: eight hours a DOJ source telling Real Clear Politics that
10:56
Speaker 1: additional Epstein documents have been withheld from the by the
11:00
Speaker 1: FBI Field Office in New York. I'm told that the
11:03
Speaker 1: letter below concerning Epstein files is legitimate, but the speculation
11:08
Speaker 1: that the FBI Director, Patel and ag Bondi are at
11:11
Speaker 1: odds is inaccurate. They are one hundred percent of the
11:14
Speaker 1: same page, the DOJ source tells Real Clear Politics. Now,
11:19
Speaker 1: of course, the media is trying to do anything they
11:21
Speaker 1: can to drive wedges between different people in Trump's orbit,
11:25
Speaker 1: especially between the Attorney General the FBI director. What we
11:29
Speaker 1: now know from the meeting at the White House with
11:31
Speaker 1: those that were asked to come and receive Phase one
11:33
Speaker 1: of the Epstein files. Is that it was abundantly clear
11:36
Speaker 1: that the two people are on the same page. And
11:40
Speaker 1: the letter that she was sending to Cashpatel was really
11:44
Speaker 1: a letter to the FBI saying, you better do the
11:47
Speaker 1: job that I am instructing you to do. It was
11:50
Speaker 1: empowering Cashpatel. The other part about this is how many
11:54
Speaker 1: documents may have already been destroyed. The sources inside the
11:58
Speaker 1: FBI Field office in New York apparently alerted Bondi to
12:02
Speaker 1: the withheld files just hours after she announced on Fox
12:06
Speaker 1: News's Jesse Waters primetime show that her office would begin
12:11
Speaker 1: releasing quote a lot of information on Thursday. When she
12:16
Speaker 1: did that interview, apparently the whistleblower understood clearly from the
12:21
Speaker 1: words that she was using on TV saying that she
12:25
Speaker 1: had well over two hundred pages, that she was missing
12:29
Speaker 1: a lot of information. Pam Bondi going on TV allowed
12:34
Speaker 1: for the whistleblower to understand what was missing, and that
12:37
Speaker 1: is exactly why that brave person came over and said, hey,
12:43
Speaker 1: you don't have all of the files that you've been
12:45
Speaker 1: told that you have. In other words, there are a
12:48
Speaker 1: lot of people in the deep state that have been
12:50
Speaker 1: lying and covering up for Jeffrey Epstein and other powerful
12:54
Speaker 1: people that are on the Epstein list. Naomi also just
12:58
Speaker 1: point out one final thing. There are a lot in
13:01
Speaker 1: the media that are angry. The conservative journalists and influencers
13:05
Speaker 1: were the ones that got this story that they went
13:07
Speaker 1: around the mainstream media. They were spotted exiting the White
13:11
Speaker 1: House with the binders labeled the Epstein Files Phase one.
13:14
Speaker 1: There were people that were so angry because this was
13:17
Speaker 1: the media getting cut out of the big story. They're
13:21
Speaker 1: obviously going to criticize and attack this White House and
13:25
Speaker 1: say that this binder was filled with nothing new. Why
13:28
Speaker 1: because they didn't get the binder. And the people that
13:31
Speaker 1: were asked to come into the White House are hardcore conservatives,
13:35
Speaker 1: many of them on social media, you know, some of
13:38
Speaker 1: them as things like the libs of TikTok or d
13:41
Speaker 1: C Draino or oaan former host Liz Wheeler, and my
13:46
Speaker 1: guest who is going to join me in just a second,
13:49
Speaker 1: Chad Prayther. He hosts a show and he also hosts
13:53
Speaker 1: Deer America. Now, why were these people picked. They were
13:57
Speaker 1: picked because they were people that actually have a falling
14:01
Speaker 1: of real Americans, Americans actually care about this country. I
14:06
Speaker 1: love the President did this, I love that the Attorney
14:08
Speaker 1: General did this, and I love that they stuck it
14:10
Speaker 1: to the liberal media and the fact that they're freaking
14:13
Speaker 1: out means we're making progress. As I mentioned earlier, a
14:18
Speaker 1: dear friend of mine, Chad Prayther. He is the host
14:20
Speaker 1: of the Chad Praythro Show. You should download it, and
14:23
Speaker 1: also a morning show called Dear America. He got the
14:27
Speaker 1: phone call to go to the White House and to
14:29
Speaker 1: have a conversation about the Epstein files and even get
14:33
Speaker 1: that binder that's now become famous. Chad joins me now
14:37
Speaker 1: to talk about this. Chad, Let's start from the very beginning.
14:41
Speaker 1: When did you get asked to come to the White House?
14:44
Speaker 1: And did you even know what the meeting was going
14:46
Speaker 1: to be about or who was going to be there.
14:49
Speaker 4: Hey, Ben, it's going to talk to you man. I
14:51
Speaker 4: did not know. In fact, we were invited for a
14:53
Speaker 4: completely different reason. We were not invited on the basis
14:57
Speaker 4: of knowing anything about the Epstein files. In fact, if
15:00
Speaker 4: we were invited simply to co meet with President J. D.
15:03
Speaker 4: Vance to talk about messaging, and specifically if we had
15:07
Speaker 4: opportunity to visit with some of the cabinet members and
15:10
Speaker 4: talk about just the things that the administration is prioritizing.
15:16
Speaker 4: And this was part of President Trump's initiative to sort
15:21
Speaker 4: of sidestep the mainstream and legacy media in order to
15:25
Speaker 4: deal with podcasters and influencers and people of that nature
15:30
Speaker 4: so that the truth could get out there to people,
15:32
Speaker 4: I mean people with an audience, people like me and
15:34
Speaker 4: people like you. And this was a part of that.
15:36
Speaker 4: What happened as we met with various cabinet members today,
15:41
Speaker 4: it was a great meeting. We didn't think anything of it.
15:44
Speaker 4: Attorney General Pambondi came in. She came in with Director
15:47
Speaker 4: Cash Bettel with the FBI, and she said, you know,
15:51
Speaker 4: as a gesture of good faith, there's no smoking gun here,
15:54
Speaker 4: she said, but we do want to give you Phase one.
15:56
Speaker 4: She said. The significant thing that we want to expose
15:59
Speaker 4: is there's a letter that reveals that we're missing thousands
16:02
Speaker 4: of pages of Epstein documents. So obviously, when that's dropped
16:06
Speaker 4: in your lap and then immediately get called in the
16:08
Speaker 4: Oval office to visit with the President, you're excited. I mean,
16:12
Speaker 4: especially if there's anyone out there like myself and many
16:15
Speaker 4: others who have done research and trying to expose the
16:18
Speaker 4: tragedy which is the Epstein just horrors. You're excited about that,
16:24
Speaker 4: and obviously you want to be able to demonstrate to
16:26
Speaker 4: your audience that the administration is trying to do what
16:32
Speaker 4: they said they were going to do. Obviously wasn't taking there.
16:34
Speaker 1: There's a lot of turf war going on right now.
16:36
Speaker 1: And I really want to break this down because there
16:39
Speaker 1: were fifteen of you guys that were asked to come
16:41
Speaker 1: in for this meeting, and all of you were told
16:45
Speaker 1: it was a vice presidential meeting and messaging, and obviously
16:48
Speaker 1: that was to get you there to keep this quiet.
16:51
Speaker 1: There seems to be a lot of conservatives out there
16:53
Speaker 1: that were left out of this meeting that are now
16:55
Speaker 1: angry saying that you guys got nothing. It was a
16:58
Speaker 1: big nothing burger. This is stuff we already knew. There's
17:01
Speaker 1: nothing new in these files that this is. This is
17:03
Speaker 1: an embarrassment, it's a joke. And these aren't Democrats say this.
17:06
Speaker 1: There's a lot of Republicans. I'm getting text messages from you, going,
17:09
Speaker 1: how do we screw this up so bad? Today? There's
17:11
Speaker 1: nothing in here that we didn't already know this was
17:14
Speaker 1: this is a joke and embarrassment, and I don't think
17:16
Speaker 1: that's accurate. And you just mentioned that letter, and that's
17:20
Speaker 1: something that we're now seeing is the FBI withheld thousands
17:23
Speaker 1: of Epstein documents. So yet you got confirmation that file
17:27
Speaker 1: today of what a lot of what we've heard about.
17:30
Speaker 1: But you mentioned that letter, and so explain how important
17:34
Speaker 1: that is to this being quote phase one.
17:37
Speaker 4: Well, I think that, first of all, if it wasn't
17:39
Speaker 4: phase one, if there wasn't more to be revealed, they
17:41
Speaker 4: wouldn't have put the phrase phase one on the front
17:44
Speaker 4: of the notebook. That's that's something that people tend to
17:47
Speaker 4: forget that we need to remember this. This was Attorney
17:50
Speaker 4: General BONDI. What do you agree with her or not?
17:53
Speaker 4: I mean, we're all hopeful that this administration is going
17:55
Speaker 4: to do what they say and they're going to be transparent.
17:58
Speaker 4: It's not that there's nothing in that notebook. It's just
18:01
Speaker 4: not what we want yet, and that's a big difference.
18:04
Speaker 4: We all want more, We all demand the exposure and
18:08
Speaker 4: the truth. We know that this is a serious subject matter,
18:13
Speaker 4: it's a tragic subject matter. So to answer your question,
18:18
Speaker 4: there are those who are out there who are saying,
18:21
Speaker 4: you know, why weren't we invited? Well, there were literally
18:24
Speaker 4: fifteen sixteen seats around the table. We were invited for
18:27
Speaker 4: a completely different reason. And I'll be honest with you, Ben,
18:30
Speaker 4: and I can't stress this enough. Most of the influencers
18:32
Speaker 4: and creators and hosts out there that I know, if
18:36
Speaker 4: they had gotten the message that I got to be there,
18:38
Speaker 4: they probably would have snubbed it. They probably would have said,
18:42
Speaker 4: I'm not interested in going to that. I'm not interested
18:44
Speaker 4: in being a part of that, because there was nothing
18:46
Speaker 4: about it that was, you know, intriguing in regards other
18:50
Speaker 4: than we want to just sit down and talk about
18:52
Speaker 4: message points.
18:54
Speaker 1: It is truly shocking when you see those that attack
18:59
Speaker 1: because you got this incredible honor to be there and yeah,
19:04
Speaker 1: and to see this and look, this wasn't just a
19:06
Speaker 1: meeting about the Epstein files. There was a lot that
19:10
Speaker 1: you guys talked about as well. And I want you
19:12
Speaker 1: to understand that this was not just one thing only.
19:15
Speaker 4: No, and we can walk you through it. I mean,
19:17
Speaker 4: from Bobby Kennedy telling us his you know, Secretary Kennedy
19:21
Speaker 4: talking about what he plans to do with HHS. You know,
19:25
Speaker 4: Carolyn Levette talking about the priorities of the messaging of
19:28
Speaker 4: the White House. JD. Vance coming in and spending a
19:30
Speaker 4: good thirty minutes with us, hanging out and us able
19:33
Speaker 4: to talk about I mean, I literally all these people
19:36
Speaker 4: posting on social media. I literally talked to both the
19:39
Speaker 4: Vice President and the President about them holding not just
19:44
Speaker 4: the mainstream and legacy media accountable, but holding social media
19:48
Speaker 4: owners accountable and the accountable and the Google overlords. And
19:51
Speaker 4: they both assured us and gave us a plan of
19:54
Speaker 4: action whereby they're going to take care of that. So
19:57
Speaker 4: all these people out there complaining about it, our priorities
19:59
Speaker 4: were co completely different. This just got dropped in our lap.
20:03
Speaker 4: There was some great information that was shared, there was
20:05
Speaker 4: some exciting things. And if you've ever been in there
20:07
Speaker 4: this administration, and I've been around cabinet members, I've been
20:10
Speaker 4: around the President, I've been around you know, a lot
20:12
Speaker 4: of important people. There was a sense of camaraderie, almost
20:15
Speaker 4: backslapping in the Oval Office today as all of them
20:19
Speaker 4: were there. And it makes me excited about not just
20:22
Speaker 4: the messaging, but it makes me excited that I feel
20:25
Speaker 4: like this this administration is going to do what it says.
20:28
Speaker 4: I totally got the vibe from Pambondi and director Patel
20:34
Speaker 4: that they fully intend to release everything they get their
20:36
Speaker 4: hands on. You know, people are so jaded and cynical
20:39
Speaker 4: at this point, and I completely understand that nobody wants
20:44
Speaker 4: that information more than me. And the reason is not
20:47
Speaker 4: for you know, clicks and likes or to get a
20:50
Speaker 4: scoop on something. We're genuinely excited about justice. There are
20:55
Speaker 4: there are women and families out there that deserve closure.
21:00
Speaker 4: In no means that we mean to post anything that
21:03
Speaker 4: was going to bring them more harm. We fully expected
21:06
Speaker 4: there to be more in that notebook, but again to
21:08
Speaker 4: look at it, what we realized is once again the
21:12
Speaker 4: reason we're jaded is this FBI has been lying to us.
21:17
Speaker 1: They've kept So let's let's let's go to that headline
21:19
Speaker 1: because I think this is a really important point. The
21:22
Speaker 1: FBI is what we've been told with how thousands of
21:25
Speaker 1: pages of Jeffrey Epstein documents, Pam Bonnie says, and she's
21:28
Speaker 1: demanding that they be turned over. This is the deep state,
21:33
Speaker 1: and this is I'm assuming what you guys got a
21:35
Speaker 1: briefing on. I want, I want you to expand on this,
21:37
Speaker 1: but they'd said she's demanding that they be turned over
21:40
Speaker 1: by Friday morning. I mean, this is the the attorney general.
21:44
Speaker 1: You've got Cashpttel, who was there today and his own employees,
21:48
Speaker 1: in essence, are not serving the president. They're not serving
21:51
Speaker 1: the FBI director. They're not serving the attorney general. They're
21:54
Speaker 1: going rogue and BONDI disclosed this letter the FBI director Casptel,
21:58
Speaker 1: which has now been put out there. But this was
22:00
Speaker 1: a whistle blower, a tipster that said that all but
22:04
Speaker 1: quote approximate two undred pages of documents were still being
22:07
Speaker 1: kept secret at the FBI office in New York, despite
22:09
Speaker 1: her repeated request for the full Epstein files. That is
22:13
Speaker 1: a takeaway from y'all's meeting today.
22:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, anyone, anyone in our shoes would be excited. Anyone
22:20
Speaker 4: sitting in those seats today would be excited. They would
22:22
Speaker 4: have responded the same way. They would have been hopeful,
22:25
Speaker 4: They would have been anticipatory. You know, you go through that,
22:28
Speaker 4: and you and I chatted a little bit earlier today
22:33
Speaker 4: and I expressed you before doing other media hits, I said,
22:36
Speaker 4: you know, I'm trying to decipher what it is I'm
22:39
Speaker 4: reading in here. You know, I've got a lot of
22:41
Speaker 4: people who are apparently they said, well we've had this information,
22:44
Speaker 4: Well not all of it, you haven't. There is some
22:46
Speaker 4: stuff in there that is different. For instance, you're looking
22:49
Speaker 4: at Julane Maxwell's Black Book versus Jeffrey Epstein's Black Book.
22:54
Speaker 4: So anybody would have been excited to receive that. And also,
22:58
Speaker 4: you know what you're seeing paraded across the AP and
23:00
Speaker 4: Fox News and all these others is when we went out,
23:04
Speaker 4: obviously the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom was coming
23:07
Speaker 4: in to day. The press pool was there in full force.
23:09
Speaker 4: They were out back when we walked out. You know,
23:13
Speaker 4: unbeknownst to us, we walk out in front of a
23:16
Speaker 4: giant pile of cameras and reporters and they're taking the
23:21
Speaker 4: pictures and they're taking the snapshots. You know. It is
23:26
Speaker 4: in the messaging of the Trump administration reminding the mainstream
23:31
Speaker 4: media that they're not kings and they're not gods.
23:34
Speaker 1: Those that are criticizing saying today was an embarrassment, that
23:38
Speaker 1: it was a nothing burger, that we learned nothing new.
23:42
Speaker 1: The point I think that I want to make sure
23:44
Speaker 1: this audience understands is that this is the beginning of
23:49
Speaker 1: what we of this not the end. Is that a
23:53
Speaker 1: fair way of putting it.
23:54
Speaker 4: Yeah. From the sentiment that I got from both General
23:58
Speaker 4: Bondi and sorry, Director Patel was they literally and they
24:04
Speaker 4: were amicable with one another. I mean, you read that note,
24:08
Speaker 4: you read that letter that Pam Bondi wrote to Cash Patel,
24:11
Speaker 4: and you would think, oh, somebody's in trouble here. There's
24:13
Speaker 4: this is sort of a rebuke, but it wasn't. And
24:16
Speaker 4: she wanted to make sure that everybody knew that that
24:17
Speaker 4: was clear. They are working in conjunction with one another
24:21
Speaker 4: in this new Department of Justice to make sure is
24:24
Speaker 4: that this information comes out. Uh. And and I believe them.
24:27
Speaker 4: I believe them. You know, Ben, I don't. I don't.
24:31
Speaker 4: I don't suffer fools, and man, I can see through people.
24:33
Speaker 4: I'm pretty intuitive. But this this administration, what I saw today,
24:38
Speaker 4: the sense, the atmosphere, just as I said earlier, just
24:41
Speaker 4: a backslapping camaraderie of a team working together. Uh. To
24:46
Speaker 4: use Carolyn Levett's phrase, this you can't keep up. It's
24:49
Speaker 4: a whirlwind. This administration is working around the clock. I
24:53
Speaker 4: truly believe them.
24:55
Speaker 1: Well, I think I agree as I was sitting last
24:59
Speaker 1: week with Pam Bondy interviewing her at Sapack with Center Cruz.
25:04
Speaker 1: We were backstage talking and I'd talked to Cash when
25:08
Speaker 1: he was going through his confirmation several others. This administration
25:12
Speaker 1: just feels like it is a dynasty team and it's
25:15
Speaker 1: us against the world, and we are going to do
25:18
Speaker 1: our jobs to the best of our ability. We're going
25:20
Speaker 1: to work together. There is none of this. This is
25:23
Speaker 1: my turf and you stay off at and it sounds
25:25
Speaker 1: like from the way that you met with so many
25:26
Speaker 1: cabinet members today, that's exactly what it feels like to
25:29
Speaker 1: you as well.
25:31
Speaker 4: Listen, I'm a country boy from Texas that wears a
25:34
Speaker 4: cowboy hat and and somehow got popular posting truck videos
25:39
Speaker 4: years ago. The fact that I was sitting in the
25:41
Speaker 4: Oval office today, or or sitting down with the Vice
25:44
Speaker 4: president and they're willing to talk to me and share
25:47
Speaker 4: with me their priorities, that should tell you I'm nobody.
25:51
Speaker 4: I was the dumbest guy in the room. I can
25:53
Speaker 4: tell you how to sixteen people in that room, I
25:55
Speaker 4: was the dumbest guy in the room. Then I'm telling
25:58
Speaker 4: you there was some intelligent folks in there. But the
26:00
Speaker 4: fact that they would extend an invitation graciously to me
26:03
Speaker 4: and give me the hospitality to come in there, it's surreal.
26:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, we ain't fly over country, my friend, we ain't
26:11
Speaker 1: fly over country. They want to talk to Americans, and
26:14
Speaker 1: that's who you talk to. That's the reason why you
26:16
Speaker 1: and I are friends. You're a real person with a
26:18
Speaker 1: real story to tell, with a real audience of a
26:21
Speaker 1: hard work and men and women that just want to
26:23
Speaker 1: be left alone by their government and they want to
26:25
Speaker 1: have a great life for their kids and their grandkids.
26:27
Speaker 1: And going around the media and talking directly to you
26:29
Speaker 1: and others. I'm meant it today when I text you congratulations,
26:33
Speaker 1: I'm proud of you forgetting to be there. I hope
26:35
Speaker 1: it's a memory you'll never ever forget. And I'm glad
26:39
Speaker 1: that they're looking to talk to people like you in
26:41
Speaker 1: these moments who can get it out to everybody else.
26:44
Speaker 1: I'll say this, don't forget grab everybody. Listen grab Chad show.
