Trump gets HUMILIATING Epstein SURPRISE

I cannot think of two things put. together that are more embarrassing for. Trump than this combination right here. Now, these were projected onto the. Kennedy Center thanks to Lincoln Project. advocacy and VJ Bombs. And the great. irony here is that first of all, it's. using the narrow, apparently permanent. tarp because our commander-in-chief with. an ego as delicate as a Fabergé egg.

cannot bear to endure the humiliation of. revealing the Kennedy Center facade. without his name on it. And so now, because he inadvertently drew so much. attention to it, it has become the. perfect venue to host a non-stop. projection long-standing friendship with. a pedophile. I mean, talk about the. Streisand effect. All he would have had. to do to make the story go away is to. remove the scaffolding, take the L for 5. minutes until everybody moves on, and. then be done with it. But he can't even. do that because his skin is too thin.

And so instead, he set up scaffolding. and tarps that clearly has zero. intention of removing, which in effect. have ensured that this scandal endures. far longer than it would have otherwise. Like, for a guy who is a pro at getting. attention, he sure has managed to get it. for all the wrong reasons lately. Just a. quick note here to say that if you. appreciate my work, which is and always. will be 100% free, a small ask is if you. could please pre-order my new book The. Day After, which explores how Democrats. must finally wield power if they're. fortunate enough to get it back. I'll.

also be on tour in DC, New York, and LA. mid-July. You can grab tickets to the. tour, and you can pre-order the book at. the same link, which I'll put on the. screen and in the post description of. this video. You can also find them at. briantylercohen.com/book. Again, I'll never paywall a single piece. of content, but this is the one time. that I'll ask for some support for a. book that I really think meets this. moment. Thanks so much. Consider, too, of all things to project onto to Kennedy. Center, the fact that it's footage of. his friendship with Epstein really is. the icing on the cake considering this.

is the one story that Trump has tried. his hardest to escape. Case in point. >> Are you still talking about Jeffrey. Epstein? This guy's been talked about. for years. You're asking we have Texas, we have this, we have all other things. like. And are people still talking about this. guy, this creep? That is unbelievable. Do you want to waste the time on it? Do. you feel like answering? >> I don't mind answering first. >> I mean I can't believe you're asking a. question on Epstein at a time like this. where we're having some of the greatest.

success and and also tragedy with what. happened in Texas. It just seems. like a desecration, but you go ahead. >> I mean if ever Trump has given the game. away in terms of the one thing he is so. desperate to avoid, this is it. And as a. result, it's been a thorn in his side on. almost a daily basis. I mean this was. his vice president on The View just last. week. >> What I disagree with is the idea that. the White House wasn't committed to full. transparency. We have to remember like I.

was inside the room when some of these. decisions were made. The Epstein Files. Transparency Act, the one that the. president signed, the one that led to. all these files that we're seeing, the. emails. By the way, again, sorry, do I. do I have to defend my boss? I know you. guys don't always appreciate this, but. you know, one of the things you see in. the Epstein emails is that Jeffrey. Epstein hated Donald Trump and that. Donald Trump literally reported Jeffrey. Epstein to the police. That's one of the. things that came out of the files. >> he signed that transparency act under. duress when some Republican women, congresswomen, like Lauren Boebert, like. Marjorie Taylor Greene, did not give in. to his pressure of not signing. He. brought Lauren Boebert into the. situation.

room to pressure her into caving on not. voting for that bill. >> So let me respond to that. So. let me let me respond to that. So number. one is yes, Donald Trump, and this. He. knew Jeffrey Epstein back in the 1980s. He also threw Jeffrey Epstein out of his. club when he found out it was a creep. and reported him to the police. That's. something that the media often misses. when it reports the story. They tell the.

fact that they knew each other in the. '80s, which the president himself. admits. They ignore the fact that he. narced on him to the police and led. ultimately to Jeffrey Epstein's. downfall. To that point, Anna, you know. the Republican Party. Well, it's one of the things that led to. to law enforcement investigation. But on. the point that you make. >> And it was allegedly over a real estate. deal that they hadn't uh got into a. fight over. >> But the email says the email says. actually he. >> They didn't just know each other. Let's. just be truthful and transparent here. They didn't just know each other. They. were incredibly close friends.

>> He reported him to the police. That's. what I'm saying. That is objective. [laughter] That is objectively true. >> But Anna made a very good point. >> Okay, but Anna made Anna made another. point that I I I think it I I I would be. if if I may, because Anna made a very. important point. This question about did. Donald Trump release these files only. under duress from Republicans? And Anna, you know the Republican Party probably. better than I do. The idea that Donald. Trump runs around afraid of Republican. congressmen as opposed to the other way. around is kind of crazy. >> This is the Republican Democrats.

>> But because the Republicans control the. House and the Senate, particularly the. Senate, you need the Republican. sign-off. What the president did is. Look, I I I will I will say this. Again, I was in there in the meetings. He was. very frustrated that the Democrats were. making this about him when he's like, "Look, I threw the guy out of my club. I. am the guy who reported him to the. police or one of the people who reported. to the police." The president was. frustrated about that, absolutely. But. he eventually came to say, "You know. what? Let's just get everything out. there. Let's have this out in the. public." And he actually called the. senators. I was there. He called the. senators and said, "You know what? Pass.

this bill. I'll sign it." And that was. it. >> Trump has J.D. Vance out here playing. make-believe that Trump hated Epstein, which of course is very believable. Anyway, on a completely unrelated note, here's this. >> [music]. [music].

[music and singing]. >> Also, you got to love J.D. Vance trying. to give Donald Trump all this credit for. signing the Epstein files Transparency. Act. He signed it because it would be. political suicide not to. He signed it. because there was only one member of. Congress in the entire government who. didn't sign the bill. It had a. bipartisan fully veto-proof majority. This wasn't Trump leading on this issue. This was a complete hostage situation. that left him no other choice but to. sign it begrudgingly. And even still, he.

tried every avenue he could to avoid. allowing the discharge petition to. advance. Dude literally summoned Lauren. Boebert to the situation room to. pressure her into not signing it. He. sent his former personal criminal. defense attorney Todd Blanche to chat. with Ghislaine Maxwell, who then claimed. that Trump did nothing wrong before she. was rewarded. Sorry about that. Before she just so. happened to be moved without explanation. to a minimum security prison in Texas. And on top of all of that, there are. still over 3 million files that haven't.

yet been released. This thing was signed. on April 19th, 2025, meaning not only was Trump dragged over. the finish line kicking and screaming, he still is. This White House is. violating the law in real time while. simultaneously trying to run a victory. lap for their compliance. Give me a. break. And in fact, Vance himself is now. directly implicated as Robert Garcia. explains here. >> Um the New York Times has obviously put. out a pretty significant report. We also. hear there's there's more to come about. J.D. Vance actually now being centered.

in this Epstein scandal and cover-up. Uh. we had no idea that Vance had really. been involved in the past. He's made. some comments, but now we learn that. J.D. Vance is basically hosting and. leading meetings in the situation room. about the Epstein investigation. Now, the situation room is used for national. security, for issues of war and peace, for major issues around the country. And. J.D. Vance, Susie Wiles, uh Kash Patel, Todd Blanche are having these meetings.

about Epstein in the actual situation. room. And it's clear from this reporting. that they're talking about ways of. protecting Donald Trump. So, it's very. significant. It's the first time Vance. is now at the center of this cover-up, directing, giving ideas, making. suggestions, like it's including really. bizarre ones. And so, we've said, "We've. got to talk to J.D. Vance and the rest. of the folks in that room. Why are they. playing cover-up for Donald Trump?". >> In terms of getting J.D. Vance in front. of the House Oversight Committee, what. is the likelihood of that happening and.

what action can and are you taking uh in. in service of that? >> Well, we just made the formal request to. get J.D. Vance, to get um. Patel, uh Susie Wiles, some of the. communication staff, folks who were in. that room in front of the committee to. Comer. At the end of the day, it's. Comer's decision. Now, look, he may not. go along with this, but we can put the. pressure on. When we put pressure on, we've heard from folks that they we. forced people to come in. And certainly. when the majority, we're going to expect.

these people are in front of our. committee actually answering these. questions. Look, J.D. Vance made some. wild wild accusations as well as. provided some crazy ideas. He suggested. that Tucker Carlson interview Ghislaine. Maxwell. They're talking about how they. can maybe pardon what a pardon would. mean for Ghislaine Maxwell. How can we. get Ghislaine Maxwell to to say that she. had nothing to do with Donald Trump or. that Donald Trump was had nothing to do. with Jeffrey Epstein. This is a cover-up. that we are reading about in real time. And now we know that J.D. Vance and.

Susie Wiles have been in on it. So, they. have a lot to answer for. And quite. frankly, they have have to answer for to. the survivors. >> Yep, hope it was worth it, JD, to weigh. yourself down by associating with. Epstein's best friend. I'm sure it. definitely totally won't impact your. 2028 presidential run. The reality is, no one has been able to. explain this dichotomy between what. Trump promised on the campaign trail. regarding the Epstein files and his. unwillingness to deliver now, even when. I myself have tried to get Republicans. to do so. Listen to this straight comedy.

when I asked two Republicans on air. whether Thomas Massie's ouster had. anything to do with Epstein. >> I I think it's interesting that in in. none of the lead-up to to what you're. discussing now with Thomas Massie, did. anybody name the number one thing that. caused Donald Trump to push out Massie. in the first place, and that was his. support, Massie's support, for the. Epstein files. That's why this is all. happening. That's why Donald Trump. turned on him, which is especially. ironic given the fact that Trump and all. of his administration officials were.

falling over themselves to demand the. release of the Epstein files when they. were just on the campaign, but as soon. as it became clear that Trump was. implicated in those files, that his name. was listed in those files God knows how. many times, uh then all of a sudden they. wanted Massie out. >> Uh Brian, we all know that President. Trump signed legislation to release. millions of Epstein documents, and he is. not. implicated criminally [laughter] in any. of this. >> They still have three and a half million. files they refuse to release. >> in any of this. So, for you to imply.

there are crimes committed is completely. dishonest. Ashley, >> So, the response So, then So, then. >> That's not why That's not why President. as Ashley. pointed out, but Ashley, please go. ahead. >> Yeah, no, I was just going to say that. I mean, Massie's been a problem. for a long, long time. I mean, obviously. this is his eighth term. I mean, he. doesn't vote with us ever. So, I. understand your talking point in regards. to the Epstein files on the Democrat. side, but that has nothing to do. with how bad of a Republican member he.

was. I just I always say. >> one of you neither one of you think that. the Epstein files had anything to do. with Trump turning on Thomas Massie. >> Brian, Massie hasn't voted for any of. the Republican priorities. Not the big. bill, you know, big beautiful bill, nothing. >> It's It's funny to me. You I understand. I understand like everybody has to. pretend that the Epstein files on the. right has to pretend the Epstein files. are are not a thing anymore, but. everybody watching and everybody who's. going to see this on the internet is. going to know how clownish all of this. is that you are both pretending like the. Epstein files had nothing to do with.

this when the people that Trump has. turned on he's done as a direct result. of their of their support of the Epstein. files. >> has been very clear over and over again. for months why he believed that Thomas. Massie was not the man for the job. The. person who replaced him as a former Navy. SEAL who is going to go in and vote for. the party, for the country, for the. president's agenda. When this is a. district that President Trump won by. 85%. So, I know that Democrats only. started to care about the Epstein files. when it was politically convenient for. them. They had nothing to say about it. for 4 years under Joe Biden when he was.

in charge of the DOJ they were releasing. nothing. President Trump is the one who. decided to sign the legislation to. release these documents and I find it. quite interesting that. >> the the the who's the who is the leader. of the Democratic Party when Barack. Obama and Kamala Harris got their butts. kicked tonight in Georgia and in other. places around the country losing that. Supreme Court case in Georgia losing the. redistricting fight in Virginia losing. the fight in Louisiana losing the fight. all over the map. You want to change the. subject and talk about the Epstein files.

>> Answer me one just one question. Did. they release all of the files? >> They're in the process of redacting to. release all the files because we want to. make sure and I would hope you would. agree with this. >> almost 5 years SINCE THIS THIS THIS file. was turned over on December 19th. >> about elections to be derailed by you to. talk about the Epstein files when you. don't want to talk about how the. Democrats lost tonight. >> We're talking about Thomas Massie. Thomas Massie is not in Congress for one. reason. Thomas Massie is not in Congress. for one reason. It's because he's a he's. a he's a leader of the Republican.

I can't even tell you who's in charge of. the Democratic Party because Barack. Obama clearly isn't. He's losing. So. what shape are the Democrats in come to. November? Brian, stop talking. I'm going to cut your mic. Stop talking. over everybody. Nobody can hear you. No. No one can understand what you're. saying. We'd like to have a. conversation, not a talking over each. other. >> I mean, you know things are bad when I. find myself laughing on TV because of. just how absurd all of this performance. art on the right has become. So, I get.

that Trump and his pals are desperate to. run away from this thing, but the faster. they try and run, the more it's going to. haunt them everywhere they go every. single day including in the places that. they once used to care about oh so much. >> [music]. >> Before you go, I'm very excited to. announce that I've written a new book. titled The Day After: How to wield power. in a post-Trump world. The book explores. what is, in my opinion, the single most. important theme that we're dealing with. in politics today and moving forward:

power. Specifically, how Republicans. abuse it and how Democrats refuse to. wield it. This book explains how we got. here and more importantly, how we should. finally wield power if we're fortunate. enough to get it back. It is the. blueprint for progressives who want to. do far more than just restore the status. quo.
