IHIP News: Melania PANICKING After Epstein CROSS-EXAMINATION Goes NUCLEAR! She CAN'T HIDE!

The Epstein files are rather pesky and. they are blowing up in Todd Blanch's. face on Capitol Hill this week. Let's. play the clip. >> in the room. I have been there. This is. what we I had to do to transcribe to. show what is true. What is true is that. the president has lied about being on. Epste Epstein's plane and the unredacted. files prove that. There's a lot in here. I am I am shocked at this. There's also. this set of files in the in the file.

This is investigation into the potential. co-conspirators of Jeffrey Epstein. I. almost used up all the blank ink in the. hallway because it's all covered up. The fix is totally in on this thing with. Todd Blanch carrying the water for. Trump. And joining me to discuss this is. national security analyst, political. commentator, and worldclass MAGA basher, my friend David Rothkco. David, what do. you make of the Epstein files? Do you.

think they're just pesky and never going. away? >> No, I think they're much bigger than we. actually think they are. Uh I I I get. this entirely from Trump's behavior and. Blanch's behavior and everybody else's. behavior because there are a lot of ways. they could have made this go away, right? They could have redacted less. They could have revealed more. They. could have done what they said they were. going to do in terms of revealing them. and they don't. And so, so why not? What. what is underlying all of this? And. there are two things that I think seem.

most likely. One is Trump did some. really awful stuff, right? Trump did. some criminal stuff with young girls and. he's been accused of that, but I think. he's afraid that it's going to lead into. a place um that could have, you know, the darkest kind of uh ramifications for. him. I also think and and here I'm you. know you know me I'm not very conspiracy. theory uh drawn.

>> but somehow the relationship between. Melania and Epstein. I think is is a real like exposed nerve. and there are a couple of these releases. recently that come from this model that. she used to be friends with and and and. when I read them I think wait just one. minute here is Melania putting a lot of. pressure on him. Does she not want us to. get into the truth about her past and. who she was and what her relationship.

was with all of this? Anyway, I think. this is sort of, you know, part of the. origin story of Trump as a comic book. villain, right? This is like the worst. of the worst of Trump. And that's why, you know, he's got an entire government. apparatus devoted to hiding it, to. obstructing justice. That's why his. personal lawyer is now the acting. attorney general because he is scared. shitless of what is going to come out.

here. >> I completely agree. And I would I'm with. you. I'm not a huge conspiracy theorist. And if I would have heard that some. former friend of Melania said, "Oh, Melania used to be a hooker." I'd be. like, "Whatever." You know, big deal. >> Yeah. Well, that would what a shock that. would be, >> right? But when Melania did the surprise. uh press conference talking about. humility and all of these things, I I. was just like, "Okay, she used to be a. hooker." I mean, 100% Epstein passed her. down to Trump. That's what makes me. believe it when they go out like when.

Trump says, "I acceed my cognitive. exam." I'm like, "Clearly, he failed. it." Because why on earth would you be. saying that? >> Well, and why on earth would you be. taking one every three months? I mean, you know, clearly his doctors are. worried about something and it's that. he's losing his marbles. Yeah. >> Um but but you know, I the the Epstein. thing won't die because it can't be. killed. You know, that there is. something alive deep within it that just. can't be suppressed. And Trump keeps.

burying it. And it's like the end of the. movie Carrie where you're walking by the. grave site and a hand comes up, you know, out of the ground. I think. that's I think that's kind of where we. are. And I think you know I mean. speaking of you know grave sites you. know whatever happened to Ivon Ivana. Trump you know I mean. >> here is this weird story that the wife. of the president. quote fell down the stairs that old.

Russian thing you know fell off a. balcony fell down the stairs and they. buried her in a golf course you know and. it's like what. >> exactly. >> there's so much [ __ ] and they just do. they commit so many crimes and do so so. many outrageous things it's hard to keep. up with them but we can just go back. like I totally forget about that you. know the documentary the staircase about. the guy and the wife and the trial so. that's kind of in everybody's sight but.

I mean obviously that's fishy as hell as. well and she accused him. >> of rape which you know he is an. adjudicated rapist his first wife is the. one who said that he read mine comp. which is I'm surprised that he read Nazi. and Hitler literature. I'm just. surprised that he reads. >> Yeah. Well, look, he's never read a. book, right? He thinks putting mine comp. beside the bed is kind of an. aphrodisiac, which that's what's [ __ ]. up about Donald Trump. Yeah. >> He think it makes him look like some big. strong dangerous man. Um, and uh, you.

know, I think part of the problem he's. got right now is he's losing that. completely, right? I mean, he's [ __ ]. in his pants and he smells bad and he. can't stay awake and you know, he's and. the hands and everything else. And he's. like, "I'm over. Nobody's going to look. at me again. I can't be that manly man. that I once was." And uh you know, which. brings me to something else. I'm since I. I've got you here, I've been thinking. about this a lot because you were the. first person to zero in on this. And I.

if if I may, I've just been watching a. lot. What is it with the Republican. party and their obsession with manhood? I mean this whole thing when they go. after Telerico and it's like well he's a. vegan and he he you know he's the and. Stephen Miller that that speaking of. manly men Steven Miller is like oh yeah. he's the first trans candidate and it's. like what that it's like a collective of. guys who like measured themselves in the.

gym one day and all came up short and. are desperate de you know they're. obsessed with Here's my observation, okay? These men are happiest in. homosocial relationships. They're always. around other men. They fired the women. that worked in the cabinet. You know, those are the first four to go. The. women that carried the water for the. patriarchy are the first to drown. They. are obsessed with trans issues. They are. obsessed with genitalia. They are.

specifically obsessed with gay stuff. The president of the United States. himself on the campaign trail gave a the. microphone a [ __ ] with striking. familiarity to doing such an act. And. you can imagine any other candidate. simulating a [ __ ] on a microphone. That would be the end of their political. career. He talks about the size of. Arnold Palmer's [ __ ] He goes on and on. about to the UFC wrestler. You're hot. This this guy from Saudi Arabia is hot. I like young men. This quarterback from.

the New York Giants is hot. What a. good-looking guy. I'm just like I mean. you guys it's okay to come out of the. closet. We. the the sad thing about this David the. people who would be the most accepting. if these people came out of the closet. and atone would be the gay community. And it's just it's wild. Like Benny. Johnson, Moses Mike Johnson, uh Lindsey. Graham, Josh Holly. Have you seen that. image of him trying to kiss his wife? I. mean it's like it's like he's kissing a.

vomit or something. I've never seen. somebody so repelled. It's just they're. just so homosocial slashob obsessed with. gay stuff. This right here, David, >> look at that. >> That's pretty hot. >> That's That's like But I mean it it's. it's so weird. >> And and and you know, it gets it it gets. back sort of to this Epstein thing. There is something so dysfunctional.

about the United States in the sexual. part of its brain that you know it it is. like a it we have a real deep cultural. problem going on here. Um and and it's. manifesting itself in a lot of weird. ways. You know, you're right. Donald. Trump was introduced by Jackson Dart, who is the quarterback for the New York. Giants, and who will never sell another. jersey in New York again because he.

embraced Trump. And Trump's like, "Look. at his thighs. Look at his thighs." I. mean, are you kidding? >> That's the takeaway. There was this. there was this Christian pastor on. Newsmax the other day and he plays a. video of James Telerico and his response. after seeing the video is James Telerico. wearing freely panties and I thought you. saw this video of this guy speaking. about the and you immediately visualize. him in frilly panties. That says far. more about you thinking about men and.

panties than it does about James Terico. who was hilarious. I remember the. scandal a few months ago that James. Telerico followed only fans models. So. he's either too straight, too trans, too. this. But here's the thing that. Democrats miss out on. The people who. talk about culture wars all the time are. the freaky MAGA people who are so. insecure in their religion, in their. indiv individuality, in their politics, in their moral compass, most importantly. in their sexuality and in the bedroom.

And the Democrats need to start talking. about why are they always talking about. gay stuff? Why is Donald Trump always. telling men how hot they are? Why is he. always talking about thighs? Why is he. giving microphones [ __ ] And then go. to talk about affordability. Play. offense on it. It would be so. refreshing. >> It would be refreshing. And it would. also have the added advantage of being. the truth. These guys, you know, these. guys are weird. They behave in a weird. way. They are obviously screwed up about. their own sexuality and they're afraid,

you know, I think they're afraid of the. fact that the Democratic Party would. embrace them. They're like, "Oh, I don't. want to be a part of a party that would. embrace, you know, the gays because, well, what are they going to say about. me?" It's a little bit like, you know, all these red states that are getting. all this welfare money from the US. government, all this stuff, and they're. like, "Oh, yeah. I, you know, we hate. that stuff." You know, because it. reveals how much they need it, >> you know, it reveals their own. weaknesses. And the, you know, MAGA and.

the GOP is really about hiding the. character flaws and weaknesses and. doubts within the people who are its. principal spokespeople. I mean, Lindsey. Graham, I mean I mean I don't we don't. have to say anymore, right? Um but but. but it's true with with all these Ken. Paxton. I mean, how how do you even pick. a guy like that, you know, to to to be a. candidate? His wife divorced him on.

biblical ground. I don't even know what. that is. But but but you know, he's he's. he's obviously he's he his criminal case. was about ripping off his friends. His. wife kicked him out because he. obviously, you know, was whatever he was. doing, it wasn't it's not in the Bible. whatever he was doing. And and and um. and and yet Trump's like, "Yeah, that's. that's the man for me." And they're. going to lose. We're Texas is going to.

go blue. Terarico is going to be a. senator. And and part of this is going. to bring Donald Trump that much closer. to the one thing that he really fears. from a Congress, and that's an impeachment that results. in a conviction. Because there's no. pardoning that. there's no Supreme Court. immunity around that. Uh and he knows. that he's committed crimes. >> I completely agree. Speaking of. incompetent senators and gender. affirming care in freaky Republicans,

the senator from my state who I'm whom I. refer to as Senator Booster Box, um now. has Christy Gnome's job, the wife of Big. Titty Brian. I call him Senator Booster. I'm talking about Mark Wayne Mullen. And. Mark Wayne Mullen has been in front of. uh congressional hearings, senator. Senate hearings, and they ask him if he. will commit to following court orders. And here's what he says. >> Yeah. >> Will you or will you not.

um implement court orders? >> If we didn't think that if we didn't. think courts were politicized, then I. would probably be able to answer that. But we see courts over and over again. that use their bench for their political. uh opinion, not just the rule of law. And we can see that because we see how. many times over choose what orders you. obey based upon whether you believe that. to be don't put words in my mouth. >> David, >> look, first of all, I I I'm going to get.

in trouble if if I were in the room with. these people. I want to smack these. people. every single one of these uh. Trump cabinet secretaries who get in. front of these hearings and talk down to. the people who are funding them. Now, by. the way, I don't think it says a whole. lot about the de if I were a Democrat. and somebody talked to me that way, I'd. be like, "Okay, that's it. You're not. going to get funded. We we write the. checks." I they would do something. It's. like Scott Bessant today, you know, same.

kind of thing. And there's a hearing and. and and Elizabeth Warren starts saying. well the president said invest in Nvidia. and he then invested in Nvidia and he. made a lot of money. Do you think that's. a problem? And best is get your own. house in order and he's like you know. talking back back to her. Um but. secondly you know Mullen. this is one of those questions they they. asked another one today to Marco Rubio. in a hearing. They said, "Did did Trump.

win the 2020 election?" There ought to. be a trap door under these seats. If you. can't answer, you know, if you if you're presented. with a simple basic fact and you can't. answer it, hit the button, go through. the floor into the pit of sharks or. whatever it is from the James Bond. movie, you know. And and the same is. true with with Mullen. If a court tells. you you can't do something, you say we. don't do it because that's how the rule.

of law works in the United States of. America, you don't get to choose which. judges you think are activists and which. judges you think are fair. But this is. the whole MAGA approach to these things. And unfortunately, who justifies it the. most? the Supreme Court, >> which yesterday came down the pike with. one of the ugliest rulings allowing. Alabama to gerrymander, you know, essentially to take away black voters.

right to express themselves at the. ballot box. And they did it in an. unsigned. uh shadow docket ruling that goes. against all their past rulings. And all. I would say to anybody is you got a. minute, go read Sonia Sotomayor's. descent to this thing because she took. them apart because it is against the. rule of law and it is against order in. the United States. And she made the case. in the clearest, simplest language,

short sentences because what that court. is doing is every bit as corrupt and. dangerous as what Trump is doing. >> I completely agree. And the reason why. he's governing as though he will as. though he will never face accountability. is because that they ruled in his favor. uh with the immunity. But I like to. diagnose these problems and then talk. about how the Democrats, not the do. nothing Democrats, but the progressive. Democrats can message this. And I just. feel like there is a huge messaging.

opportunity here that the Republicans. are pathological liars. They tell you. they are the party of law and order. Yet. they pardon all of these January 6ers. that then go out and molest and rape. little kids. I mean, it just seems like. every time I open up my phone, there's. some Jay Sixster that. >> and they just gave one of them a high. national security job. >> And and when asked about this January. 6th slush fund he was going to set up, uh somebody at the Department of Justice.

said today, "Oh, well, we'll find other. ways to give them their money. They're. not just pardoning them, they're paying. them. They are paying people for having. launched a coup against the United. States. And you're absolutely right. It, you know, we're not speaking in long, difficult words here. These are simple. sentences. They are corrupt. They are. paying people who launched a coup. against the United States. You talk. about the Supreme Court. What did we. learn last week? Oh, Sam Alita's son got.

a job at the Treasury Department. and Sam Alto kept ruling on cases in. front of the Treasury Department while. his son has this kind of do nothing job. because they just wanted to give. something else to the Alto family. Um, you know, the the the best thing that. progressive Democrats can do is tell the. truth in short sentences that people. will understand and just rely on the. facts because these guys are corrupt.

They're the most corrupt ever. These. guys are twisted and they are twisted in. ways that are hurting millions of. Americans. They are responsible for. millions of deaths overseas for. suffering of tens of millions of people. in the United States. They are screwing. us 15 ways to Sunday. And you've got to. talk about it instead of the do nothing. Democrats whose first response is to. say, well, you know, in order to win in. November, we've got to meet them.

halfway. Meet them [ __ ] halfway. These are. fascists. What do you want to do? Be a. 50% fascist country? You don't. compromise with people who are evil. You. don't compromise with people who are. doing the wrong thing because that is a. victory for evil. And that's the most. important thing we can do here. We just. got to call out what we see. Um and you. know, you you have always been such a. great champion of this. Ken Paxton is.

going to get beaten if we tell the world. who Ken Paxton is. If we tell the world. that the Republican party in Texas. moments after he got elected as the. candidate had to take down their own ad. saying that crime had risen dramatically. in Texas under him, >> right? >> You know, right? You know, I mean, it's. all there. We just shouldn't tiptoe. around it. I saw today there's a. Washington Post story about a couple of. centrist Dem congressmen who want every.

Democrat to sign a pledge. I'm a. capitalist, not a socialist. >> Oh, for [ __ ] sake. Are you serious? >> They're serious. It's front page of the. Washington Post today. And it's like, are you [ __ ] kidding me? You know, they want to wage a war on the. progressive wing of the Democratic party. when you have the most corrupt president. in history destroying the rule of law in. the United States, undermining our. institutions, destroying our alliances.

around the world, waging illegal wars, inviting pandemics to pop up again and. spread and kill millions of people. because they don't believe in science. and they want to go after AOC or Mom. Donnie because he thinks that people. ought to have health care or they ought. to have free education. Holy [ __ ]. >> Well, we need to let the world know. these people are MAGA with a D by their.

name. And they are fascist. collaborators, if not full-blown. fascists themselves. But you spoke about. Texas, and I worry about the elections. in these red states. I worry about the. uh secretaries of state, attorney. general, governor in a Texas because. these people are so obquous to Donald. Trump. They will do anything to service. him. And this appointment, this recent. appointment of DNI to replace Tulsi. Gabbard is really concerning to me as it.

relates to election integrity. Pop this. up. Uh, democracy docket says Trump. tapped loyalist Bill Py, a top housing. official to serve as the acting director. of national intelligence. He has no. experience. He's basically a Trump. asskisser. I mean, worse than all of the. people that are already seated at the. table. And Senator Mark Warner, the. ranking Democrat on the Senate. Intelligence Committee, said the. appointment sharpened his worry that.

Trump and his allies will try to steal. or subvert the midterm elections. David, >> Abs, absolutely right. First of all, the. the job of director of national. intelligence is one of few jobs where it. explicitly calls for a certain kind of. experience for somebody to have the job. It explicitly says in the description of. the job, to get confirmed for this job, you've got to have intelligence. experience. This guy has none. But. Trump's done this workound where he goes. and becomes an acting director of.

national intelligence. And so then you. have to say, well, why would you give. the job to somebody who has no. intelligence experience? And there are. only a couple of reasons. One would be. to make the United States at greater. risk and to help our enemies, including. Trump's, you know, sponsor, Vladimir. Putin. But let's set that aside for a. second. He is definitely putting the US. at risk by uh neutering the intelligence. community in the way that it does by. putting somebody brain dead and.

inexperienced on top of it. But you have. to ask, why would Trump do that? And the. answer is, well, if your mission is to. advance intelligence gathering and do. intelligence analysis, well then of. course you hire somebody with experience. in that area. But if your mission is to. stay in office and protect yourself. against enemies who want to prosecute. you uh for crimes that you actually. committed, then you hire somebody who's. willing to use the intelligence.

community to commit dirty tricks or to. undermine the uh credibility of. elections. And we recall among the last. things we saw Tulsi Gabbard do was go to. Atlanta, Georgia and participate in this. bizarre effort to try to gather up voter. roles there. And the answer the question. is why was she there? And the answer is. because there was this theory that other.

intelligence groups had somehow grabbed. our voter roles and were manipulating. election results. It's completely. unfounded. But by going there, she could. say, "Well, we were looking into that. We're, you know," and it calls into. question the results of the elections. And what you know is this. Bill Py knows. nothing about intelligence, but if Trump. says, "Destroy files that are bad about. me," he'll do it. And if Trump says, "Give me files that could that cast.

doubt about some of my enemies," he will. do it. And if Trump says,"I want a. credible argument that foreign uh powers. are trying to put their thumb on the. scale so I don't win. Show me how the. Iranians are are beating Republicans in. the November election. Bill Py is going. to come up with some kind of [ __ ]. because he doesn't care about the law. because he knows Donald Trump will. pardon him. He He knows that's part of. the deal in this this these guys." And.

Trump's like, "Do what I say, you'll get. rich later on, and in the meantime, I. will ensure that you never run a foul of. the law, even if all you do is break. it." And that's that's where we are with. with with. acting director of national. intelligence, Bill Py. >> God, it's so painful because you're so. spot on. All right, shifting gears. slightly. Um, Trump and Netanyahu and. Iran and Lebanon and all this [ __ ] Let.

me play this video for you of Trump. Play the clip. >> Him. You said, "Are you effing crazy? What are you effing doing?" Um uh I. helped you stay out of jail. Is that. true? Did you speak to him in those. terms? >> I did. I I wouldn't say angry. I was a. little bit perturbed at his uh. constantly fighting with Lebanon. You. know, at some point I said maybe we got. to stop this. We got to stop it. But I. have a very good relationship. We've. done well done.

>> All right. And then one more video and. then I want to get your take on this. Netanyahu responds in a CNBC interview. Play this one, Kylie. >> I was going to say, has your. relationship at all shifted with him? >> No. No. This has been uh this has been a. great uh relationship because he's been. the greatest friend that Israel has ever. had in the White House. >> And uh he he respects me. I respect him. We always find a way to work out our. differences. >> Did he All right, David, break all this. down for us.

Uh, >> yeah. I mean, look, uh, first of all, I. think it's interesting that Trump is. sitting there saying, "Yeah, I told him. he was out of his [ __ ] mind." You. know, he he acknowledged that at the. beginning of that that that uh. interview. And and obviously Trump was. upset. The reason Trump is upset is that. he wants this Iran war, which is a. fiasco, to go away. The only way to get. it to go away is to have even the. flimsiest kind of a ceasefire. And the.

flimsiest kind of ceasefire requires one. thing that Trump doesn't control and. that is that Israel stops its war. against Lebanon. But Israel doesn't want. to stop its war against Lebanon. BB. Netanyahu is launch, you know, is that's. that's his only way of, you know, communicating uh to the people of Israel. that they need to keep him in office. and he's got an election coming in a few. months. So Trump doesn't control him. And so Trump can't get the flimsy ex, you know, ceasefire that he wants in.

place. You know, the one that says, "Oh. yeah, we're going to solve all these. problems in the future." um and just. punts it off into the distance like the. Gaza ceasefire agreement where uh none. of the tough problems have been solved. where the border of peace has no money. where nothing is actually advancing. here. Um, the the problem is, you know, that that that Trump and Netanyahu are.

two bad leaders who are strategically. impaired, who are desperate for. political survival, and who have created. a situation in which they need each. other, and in which they both are. relying on somebody who's one of the. world's worst people. I mean, if you. were making a new axis of evil, right, in it would be Trump, Netanyahu, and. maybe you'd throw in Putin. You know, in. other words, uh, our we are now the.

rogue state allied with another rogue. state, Israel. Both of our leaders are. liars and crooks. Um, and unfortunately, neither one of them can survive without. working with the other one. And and so, you know, to me, this is like two mob. bosses getting into, you know, a dust. up, but at the end of the day, you know, who are they going to rely on? You know, they're going to find a way to to to to.

work this out. I just think Iran is. going to be a festering wound. >> for months and months and months to. come. >> There will be no solution for it. Uh, and by the way, in the past couple of. days, we've seen studies that suggest. that even if the war were solved. tomorrow, and it can't be solved because. Trump won't accept terms that are worse. than the terms Barack Obama got, and he. can't get terms that are better than the.

terms Barack Obama got. He's going to. put us in a position that's worse than. where we were in 2015 and worse than. where we were on February 27th. So, we're not going to have a solution for. all of this stuff. And um the that means. that food prices will stay high, gas. prices will stay high, fertilizer prices. will stay high, the global economy will. slow down, and and you and I will be. back here in a few weeks talking about. >> why did the Fed,

you know, loosen in the middle of all of. this? because now Trump's got his guy at. the Fed and the only way that he's going. to be able to try to save the economy. uh prior to the election is if the Fed. does some very unfedlike things and that. results in weakening the dollar. And I. you know I I I know this is not you know. it wasn't sort of the your front of mind. thing but recently I'm like what do we. expect in the next few months? I expect.

Trump to cheat on the election and I. expect him to use every tool at his. disposal to attack his enemies, but I. also expect him to try to use every tool. at his disposal to spin the story of the. economy. And he's now got a puppet at. the Fed who's going to help him do that. who's just appointed the guy from. Project 2025 who did Project 2025's what. do we do about the Fed stuff to be his. deputy. And so we've got a lot of stuff.

percolating here that makes me think. that even though in November I I'm I'm. hopeful that Democrats will win, the. period between now and November is going. to be profoundly dangerous for just that. reason. I completely agree. Do you think final. question in wrapping it we ended with BB. Israel. Do you think we started with. Epstein do you think Israel MSAD BB you. think they have some good some.

compromant to take the Russian term on. Trump and that's why he has been gone. further than any other American. president ever has for BB? >> I don't I don't know. Trump depends on. the evangelicals. The evangelicals love. BB. Trump depends on certain donors. The. big donors love BB. Trump and, you know, BB and Apac and the ADL and all those, they all sort of made a a a shift from.

being nonpartisan, we'll work with any president in the US. to we are now on the side of the. Republicans. And so he sees that as part. of his base. Now you know there's. another story here uh which I think you. and I have talked about in the past but. you know that what Epstein was doing. with rich powerful people that involved. compromising them sexually is exactly. the kind of thing that foreign.

intelligence services are drawn to. And. if the MSAD or if the FSB and Russian. intelligence were not deeply monitoring. it, deeply involved in it, trying to. exploit it, I would be absolutely. shocked. It's like Mara Lago. The. president lives in this kind of tacky. hotel in, you know, in in in Florida. that people can walk in and out of. So, do you think the Chinese and the. Russians and the Iranians are all got.

people wandering around there? Particularly since they know, you know, that the bathroom shower may contain. boxes of classified documents of O of of. course they are of of course they are. And so, you know, do now does Vladimir. Putin or BB drop a hint every now and. then? Oh, yeah. We know what you were. doing there. Maybe. I I I I I don't I. don't know. Um, but I do know this. There's a reason you don't elect.

presidents who are rapists and. fraudsters and felons. And it's because. their character is bad for the. presidency, but it's also because of how. many people have leverage over them who. can force them to do things. Um uh. because the the downside, the risk is. that what they've done in the past that. is even worse than we imagine will be. revealed. >> David, thank you so much. I could talk.

to you for hours. What a treat. Um. thanks again. >> Same. >> Yeah, >> bye.
