  Speaker 1: Tell you what, if you watch the Super Bowl, it
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: was kind of boring, it was lame. The halftime thing
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: we've already covered. But there is a bigger story that's
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: coming out of the Super Bowl that is I think
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: one of those perfect, massive moments of warning that if
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: you don't pay attention to what's happening where you live
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and who's running your city, you're gonna end up getting
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: exactly what has happened in New York City with Mundani
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and they have like no trash pickup right now, and
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: ice that's all over the place, and snow that's built
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: up and it's turning into a disaster. You also have
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: a mayor that after a robber hurts someone else, he
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: defended the robber and said, that's the person needs helped,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: not the person that was injured in the attack by
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the robber. That's who is in charge in New York City.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: You look at California and you see just the mismanagement
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: with the wildfires out there is a great example. The
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: mismanagement with the drugs, the mismanagement with the crime, the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: mismanagement with with you know, they have the safe needle
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: places and it turns into a crack city. And we've
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: seen San Francisco. We've seen what has happened to San Francisco.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: It is no longer a safe city. It is a disaster.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Companies are closing, malls are closing, shops are closing, Crime
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: totally out of control. They get to host the super Bowl,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: and what do you get for being at the super Bowl?
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: You get a tax bill that's more than what you
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: actually made. I'm going to give you this incredible story
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: that's come out from the New York Post and it's
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: really gone viral. Sam Donald's insane California tax bill stunningly
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: exceeds his Super Bowl winnings is the headline. Sam Donald's
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: big Super Bowl win Sunday night actually ended up costing
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the quarterback money. So he lost money playing in the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl and winning it for one reason, because of
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: California's town laws. Now, the Seahawks star will oh are
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: you ready for this? More than one hundred and seventy
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: eight thousand that he earned for helping live Seattle to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a twenty nine to thirteen of victory over the Patriots
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: at Levi Stadium in Santa Clair, California. According to reports,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Darnold's bill to the Golden State. I'm talking to literally,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: California will be two hundred and forty nine thousand dollars.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Following Seattle's latest championship, the outlet stated that the sizeable
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: check is due to California's What they have passed is
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: a quote jock taxes like a jock, like a jock,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: like Literally, you're an athlete, We're gonna punish you. It
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: forces pro athletes who don't live in the state to
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: fork over percentages of their yearly income based on the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: number of days they work in California.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: The days have been dubbed duty days.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: And after the Seahawks touched down in northern California on
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: February the first, Donald and the rest of his team
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: accumulated not one, not two, not three, not four, not five,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: not six, not seven, but eight days total by playing
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, say night, because when you land
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: is when they start the clock. So you get there
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: for all the festivities, and you get there for the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: week of the Super Bowl, right, they charge you for that.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks are expected to amass even more in twenty
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: twenty six due to games they will play in the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: state next season. On top of that, the report is
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: saying that those in the league are furious. Why, Well,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: you can go back to Donald who is in the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: middle of a three year, one hundred and five million
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: dollar contract with the Seattle Seahawks. He will ultimately lose
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: some seventy one thousand dollars for lifting his first ever
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Lombardi Trophy.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Now this is insane.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: For the next sixty seconds, can you hit pause on
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: your life and just think about this? Every day, millions
• 4:13

• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and their empty stomachs and their desperate eyes. It is
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: that you don't matter. Poverty doesn't just steal food and shelter.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: It steals hope, dignity, and the fundamental belief that they
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: are loved. But there's another message, one of boundless love

• 5:04
  Speaker 1: That's Compassion dot Com. I want you to hear what
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the sports talk stations were saying about this.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: This is a guy named Boomer.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: He has a show on CBS Sports Network and this
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: is how he explained the economics to the sports community today.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: For winning the Super Bowl, the winning team each player
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: gets one hundred and seventy eight thousand dollars. In other words,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: the Super Bowl isn't a part of their salary. And
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: because the game was played in California, in California has
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: a jock tax and they look at duty days. So
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: each team spends seven gate days in the state of California.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: So those are seven duty days, and they pierce your
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: regular salary at three point five percent. So he has
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: to pay when you when you take an account, he
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: got the one hundred and seventy eight thousand plus his
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: overall salary, he has to pay the state of californ
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: for spending seven days there two hundred and forty nine
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: That's just so stupid.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Believe it ends up costing him seventy one thousand dollars
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: the goal play in California. Now, but I'm the NFLPA.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: By the way, let me explain to you what the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: NFLPA is if you don't know, the NFLPA is, the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: is a National Football League's Players Association. All right, that's
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: what the NLPA stands for. And what you're about to
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: hear Boomer talk about is if I'm a player, I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: would do everything I possibly could do to never play
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a game in California, and I would mandate that we
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: never have a super Bowl there at all, because to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: go win a super Bowl and then have to lose
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: money to play in the Super Bowl is total insanity.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: And again that's because in California they have passed the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: jock tax. So you're an athlete and we want to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: screw you to the point where when you play in
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl you actually lose money.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Now, you got to remember it's probably even more than
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: that because since he's in Seattle, he's playing, he's playing
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: against San Francisco forty nine ers. That's another day he's there.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: And he's playing against the LA Rams, that's another day
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: he's there. So he's probably had like nine or ten
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: duty days or maybe even more than that in the
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: state of California. So if I'm the NFLPA, I'm like, hey,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: we're not playing any more super Bowls in you know,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: in California, We're not doing it.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: We're just not doing it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Now, you think about this, if one day, right, you
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: may not care as much. Okay, you're like, all right,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I got two games there, I got to play, and
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: so that's one day of your pay in the regular season.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: But when you have a Super Bowl, you're there for
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: eight days.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And when you're there for eight days, this is what
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: it costs you another one.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Put it out there saying it this way. So let
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: me get this straight.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: The quarterback who wins the Super Bowl goes to communists
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: California and loses money.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: To play in the super Bowl while winning it.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: What's even more crazy is that those who lost the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: game will actually make more money than the people that
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: won the game in California. I mean that could be true,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: by the way, Like if you lost the game, you
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: didn't get the bonuses, then there's less reportable income, which
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: means less of a tax liability, which means you may
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: actually come out ahead because your bonus is only for
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the actual game day, right, the money you make if
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: you win the super Bowl, that bonus, right, is actually
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: for that one day, But they're charging you for eight
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: days of your annual salary and they break that up.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: So in other words, what you're making your lump sum
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: is being tax not just the bonus.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: So the super Bowl that's why you're losing money.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: If you really want to get into this, if you're
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a player that gets to go to the super Bowl
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and you don't make a lot of money, let's say
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: you're special teams, maybe you're in the league minimum and
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: you go to the super Bowl.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: It's your dream.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: You could actually bust a guy up financially over the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: eight days of being in California. And the quarterback here
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: is just the perfect example of this. So I go
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: back to this other note here because it's really interested,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: okay interesting here. Don't will receive one hundred and seventy
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: eight thousand winners bonus, but owes California two hundred and
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: forty nine thousand in taxes because he was there for
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: eight days.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: That means he.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Will owe more than seventy one thousand dollars for playing
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: in the super Bowl and winning it. This is what communism,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: by the way, sounds like in real life, this is
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: what Marxism and communists and socialists do. They go after
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: people that have money first. It will trickle down to
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the people that they say are safe. And when you
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: do what I mean, I mean to even have enough
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: people in the legislature to pass a quote official name
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: jock tax, which imposes the highest income rate you can
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: on non resident athletes participating in sporting events. If you
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: want to destroy and I think part of it is
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: California is like, we don't care, Like we can get
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: away with this because we're California, So we don't care
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: that there's a little bit of bad press here because
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: we're going to make a bunch of money off of them. Again,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: we don't care. I tell you this is coming to
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: you soon if you don't pay attention. As the Olympics
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: are going on right now, there are controversies over what
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: American athletes are saying about America. Yes, the same one's
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: representing this country, but if you look at the media
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and the laugh they're encouraging it. The wash In Post
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: has this headline, US Olympic athletes expressing their views is
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: as America as.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: It gets US athletes.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Reuters has their headlines say they have right to speak
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: up after Trump. Yes, they're attacking Trump, brands Olympic skier
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: a loser again, justifying their criticism of the United States
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: of America as they're representing US.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: The Guardian has it this way.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Winter Olympian says he has received death threats over anti
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: ice protests. These are just some of the headlines that
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: are now out there, and the media and the left
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: are doing it all together.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: A lot of this started after there was what many
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: described as a green light signal sent from Barack Obama
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: that it's absolutely okay for you to, you know, go
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: out there and criticize. Then you had a freestyle skier
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: name Hunter Hess and Chris Lillis who voiced discomfort representing
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the United States due to recent political events. It got
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: even worse as this was said from the official podium
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: wearing the United States of America's official uniform.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: I think it's a little hard. There's obviously a lot
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: going on that I'm not the biggest fan of, and
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of people aren't. If it aligns
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: with my moral values. I feel like I'm representing it.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Just because I'm wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: everything that's going on in the US. So yeah, I
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: just kind of want to do it for my friends
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: and my family and the people that support me getting here.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: So there you go. I'm not really a big fan
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: of the US. That is what Team USA freestyle skier
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Hunter Hess had to say from the podium. Now, there's
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: also a picture that has gone viral as well. It
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: is a picture of skis that are kind of one
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: going left and the other going right, and then in
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the snow it looks like yellow snow. Someone would urinate
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and it says f you you know what? And then
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: ice that has gone viral as well. And that's not
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the only controversy. There's also this one an American born
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Olympic skier who competes now for China. She has now
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: come out defending Hunter Has, who said he has mixed
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: emotions about representing Team USA.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Here is part of what she had to say at
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: the Olympics. What a beautiful outfits.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, thank you. Can I talk about it
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: really quick?
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: I designed this. It's one of one. It's my name
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: on it along.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: It's custom made. It is custom it's one of one.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Here's me. And the inspiration was China, like the ceramic.
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: So instead of like a big flag, I wanted something
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: really cultural and tangible that people would be able to
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: easily recognize and think, oh wow, that's like a Chinese element.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: So this is a dragon.
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: It's embroidered with gold, and it's the blue and white
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: like the ceramic.
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: I also have a little compass and a.
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: Thermometer here in case you get lost, I can tell
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: you which way is north.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Well, what rate my outfit?
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: You're a supermodvel. What do you think about? I mean,
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: I feel like it's super unique. If you're comfortable and warm,
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: then it's a ten out of ten.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I'm comfortable and warm, so that's perfect.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Fantasta, thank you.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Not to be clear, this is an American born Olympic
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: skier who defected to China who's defending Hunter Hess at
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the Winter Games. Goo was seen showing off not only
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: your suit that was inspired by Chinese ceramics, but if
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: you know the backstory, you'll understand even more of what
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: a sellout she actually is. She was born and raised
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: in San Francisco. She actually trained. Yeah, we paid for
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: it with the US ski and snowboard t and then
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: she went to Stanford University quote as someone who has
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: got caught in the crossfire before, I feel sorry for
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the athletes. I hope that they can ski to their
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: very best. That was what she said when asked about
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the Olympic skier Hunter has who's taking heat for saying
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: it doesn't really like, you know, representing America. She also
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: took advantage of everything the United States had to offer her,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: then decide to compete for China, and is defending Americans
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: who say they have a hard time representing the US.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: This is exactly what the left wants. They want Americans
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: who have disdained for America representing America. These are the
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: same people that advocated for men playing in the Olympics
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: in women's sports. When you see an American skier slamming
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: America and then pointing to the American flag on his jackets,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: well it doesn't really mean that I represent it, like
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: you know, the country. I'm kind of disappointed in it.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: There are cheers all over America by Marxists, socialists and
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: communists that understand this is exactly how you tear down
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: this country. Now you may roll your eyes and say
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: this guy will be gone, but to be clear, he's
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: going to have a major impact on young people. This
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: American freestyle skier is important to young people. And he's
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: a guy that well is saying, you just be you,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: and you don't really have to be excited about representing
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: your country at the Olympic Games. You know, He's just
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: whatever I believe today is what I'm going to stand for.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: So here we are at the beginning of the Olympics,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the first week, and we already have Olympians that are
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: doing these types of things.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: And why are they doing it?
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Because there is a lot of Americans that are aiding
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: a betting and courting and advocating for it and giving
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: cover to it. By the way, which goes back to
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: the headlines I was talking about a moment ago, whether
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: it is the Washington Post saying the US Olympic athletes
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: expressing their views as as American as it gets, saying
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: American athletes in Italy are trying to handle their response
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: to questions about well being American thoughtfully and carefully, is
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: what the title of the article continues to write. We
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: all know that's not actually true. They're also saying, well,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump decided to weigh in, so therefore we will
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: fight back.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I go back to the basics here.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: If you don't like the United States of America, then
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: don't wear the American flag. If you want to be
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: an American athlete, then be proud of America and be
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: a beacon of light for America and freedom when you
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: are overseas. This is also propaganda for other countries. You
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: want to know, Hunter Hass is the most famous right
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: now in places like China because they're broadcasting his words
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and they're telling his story, because they want the country
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: to believe that America's greatest athletes are actually embarrassed to
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: be on Team USA.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I think it's sad that we're at this point.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I want all Americans to do amazingly well at the Olympics.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: It's sad that the President United States of America even
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: had to put out a statement about Hunter Hass calling
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: him a real loser, says he doesn't represent his country
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: in the current Winter Olympics. If that's the case, Trump said,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: he shouldn't have tried out for the team, and it's
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: too bad he's on it very hard to root for
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: someone like this. He then wrote, make America great again.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: And it's true. If you don't like America, then why
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: beyond Team USA. This is what it's really all about.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Finding athletes and having people that actually you love and
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: care about this country. That to me is everything. That
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: is what we should all be excited about. And it
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: should not be controversial. I want to say that again.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: It should not be controversial to be proud of the
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: country that you're representing at the Olympics. One thing you
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: will not find is any athletes from China or Germany
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: or Russia, even though they're not technically representing Russia, that
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: are going to criticize their countries. You won't find athletes
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: from the Middle East doing exactly what these American athletes
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: are doing. Why because they don't have the cover to
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: do it in their country. But in this country, the
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: media and the left they wanted this by design, Make
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: no mistake about it. Donald Trump called the police about
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. We now are learning in two thousand and six,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: he also said that Maxwell was flat out evil. Donald
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Trump telling the Palm Beach police chief quote everyone knew
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: about Epstein and Maxwell is an evil woman. Now in
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: two thousand and six, just as Jeffrey Epstein's criminal sex
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: charge became public, Trump apparently called then Palm Beach police
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: chief to tell him that Epstein's activities with teenage girls
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: were well known in both New York and Palm Beach.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Thank goodness, you're stopping him. Everyone has known he's been
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: doing this. Trump told the police chief that According to
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: a twenty nineteen FBI interview with the police chief contained
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: in the Justice Department's Epstein case files, now, the interview,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: conducted in October of nineteen and not previously reported, has
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: shed new light on what Donald Trump knew about Epstein
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: in the early stages of the investigation in Palm Beach, Florida.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: It also makes it clear that Donald Trump wonted to
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: stop Epstein. The FBI agents that were sitting with the
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Palm By police chief said that Trump revealed that Epstein's
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: associate Maxwell was Epstein's operative, and that Trump said she
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: is evil and to focus on her. Clearly, Donald Trump
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: was absolutely right. Trump told the police chief reportedly that
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: he was around Epstein once when teenagers were present, and
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Trump got the hell out of there. The report states.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Trump also told the police chief that he threw Epstein
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: out of his Marlago club. That stands in sharp contrast
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: to what the media has been reporting on Donald Trump,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: implying that there was something to hide, which brings us
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: back to the White House Oval Office just the other day,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: when the President of the United States of America was
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: asked about the Epstein files and the new documents that
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: have been released. Before I get to that, though, I
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: want to tell you about my good friend ends over it,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Bitcoin IRA. I gotta ask you a question. Can you
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: buy real bitcoin in your retirement account? Well, if not,

  Speaker 2: Trump listen. CAREFULLY a lot of.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: Women who were are survivors Of epstein's are unhappy with
