LIVE: MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS!! 2/3/2026

Welcome to Ben Myelis on Breaking News. I'm Ben Mycelis and this is the breaking. news. Apologize for the scheduling. change. Normally the show airs 4:30. Eastern, 1:30 Pacific, but we had these. shadow hearings taking place and. Congressman Robert Garcia was going to. be asking some powerful questions. We. got uh word that that was going to be. taking place and it was of uh one of the. individuals who was uh shot five times.

uh by Donald Trump's Border Patrol. Gustapo in Chicago, Mirimar Martinez. I'm going to play that clip in just a. moment of of what went down. Um, but. Congress member Garcia was going through. the text messages that the Border Patrol. Gustapo was sending to each other uh. after shooting Mary Martinez five times. They tried to frame her and say that she. was ramming her vehicle into the Border.

Patrol and ICE vehicle. Um, they shot. her five times. They arrested her. They. uh basically dragged her out of the. hospital while she was still getting. treated and then they sent text the. border patrol and ICE Gustapo were. sending text messages to each other. vile, sexualized, violent, disgusting messages to each. other um that the Democrats in the House. and the Senate were able to unearth and.

that Mirimar Martinez's lawyers. unearthed during the criminal case which. was ultimately dismissed against Miimar. um after all of the evidence came to. light. Um, so that's why we're starting. when we're starting because I think it. was very important to show those shadow. hearings that the Democrats are holding. live. The overall shadow hearing was. about uh border patrol and ICE uh their. invasions, their use of force, their.

terrorism on our streets. So, let me. just show you uh Congress member Garcia. reading these text messages. Trigger. warning. Stuff is very, very disgusting, grotesque. Words can't even really. describe what this is. Here, play this. clip. It's disgusting, shameful, and it gets worse. Miss Martinez, these. are images of texts sent by the agent. who shot you,

and they're actually were actually. disturbing uh to read, but I think it's. important for the public to see this. The agent linked an article about your. shooting and texted, "Read it." Five. shots, seven holes. I fired five rounds. and she had seven holes. Put that in. your book, boys. Oh well, it is what it. is. happens. This is someone that works for the. United States government. I fired five.

rounds and she had seven holes. Now, he. was talking about you. and it's our understanding that he was. actually bragging about his aim shooting. an unarmed American citizen. Is that. right? >> Correct. >> I'm so sorry, Miss Martinez. DHS has. allowed the agent who shot you to remove. evidence and to potentially destroy it. Is that correct? >> Correct.

>> And if you're wondering, well, how did. we even get here? Well, the person in. the Oval Office is a felon, is a fraud, is a bankruptor, someone who was Epstein's close friend, someone who has been found in a federal. court by a federal jury in a civil case. to be a sexual abuser by the full jury. They found he was a sexual abuser. This.

is someone who on audio bragged about. molesting or grabbing women by their. vaginas because he says you're rich and. you get away with it when you're rich. It's someone who said Epstein's a great. guy who likes women on the younger side. It's someone who said he uses his beauty. pageantss of girls to inspect their. naked bodies. So when you put someone. with zero character or in fact has the.

character of a felon and all of those. things I just said this is what. manifests and this is why you can't. normalize this behavior because the. split screen taking place what was going. on there in the shadow hearings. and what was going on in the Oval Office. as Donald Trump was asked by Caitlyn. Collins of CNN about the Epstein files.

Fact that Donald Trump's name is in. those files 38,000. times in the partial release of the 3. million documents on Friday. Let me just. repeat that. 38,000. times in 5,000 documents and not passing. references like, "Oh, Donald Trump's the. president." No. Some of the most. grotesque and vile of conduct alleged.

against Donald Trump by confidential. informants, by women, by girls. To be. clear, they're just allegations. They need to be investigated. Real. accountability is needed. To be clear, in other countries, this is toppling. world leaders right now. Poland has. launched a full-fledged investigation to. determine if the Epstein files permeated. its ranks at the highest level. You have.

Slovakia's national defense minister. having to resign. You have Lord Malden. in the UK having to leave the uh I mean. to leave his political the Liberal Party. and to you know basically I mean he. already resigned his position as UK. ambassador to the United States. You have people rightfully talking about. whether the owner of the New York. Giants, Steve Tish, who's in these. things, should lose the team.

These are accountability. is starting. finally a little bit, but not in the. cabal, the center of the cabal, which is the. White House. It's where it's originating. and emanating from 38,000 times. 30 think about 38,000 times of of. anything. Like imagine your name being. mentioned 38,000 times anywhere over the.

course of your life. They should just be. called the Trump files at this point. 38,000. We've done deep dives, as you know, on. the Midas Touch network into all of the. dark secrets that lurk in those files. We went through everything. And I should. mention. Trump's DOJ then retraumatized the. victims and survivors by giving their. identities and personal identifying. information. Heck, there was an entire.

file of photos of underage girls that. they released. They had one job. The one. job was just redact the names and faces. of the victims and the survivors and the. personal identifying information and. release everything else. When I was a. litigator, we would deal with far more documents. than this. They like to go, "Oh, if you. stack up the documents, it's taller than. the Washington M." Who cares? Okay, that.

that's called that's what lawyers deal. with. You deal with terabytes of. documents. You have software that helps. you. You work in teams. You figure it. out. You don't whine about it. Okay. It. was an it was actually an easy task that. they had. Release all the files, redact. the photos of the survivors and the. victims. And the Trump DOJ leaked all of. that information, put all that. information out when that was their one. task. We had to reach out to the DOJ at.

the Midas Touch Network saying there was. a whole file of underage girls. Take it. down. What are you doing? What are you. doing? And they finally took that one. that file down. The hell is going on here? But this is. what Donald Trump was doing in the Oval. Office where he said uh well, he goes, "It's time we move on." He said, he. goes, "And now there's nothing that came. out about me in these files that's bad. I'm vindicated." Here's what he said.

moments ago in the Oval. Let's play this. clip. >> And you tell me something else. No. Uh I. think it's really time for the country. to get onto something else really, you. know, now that uh nothing came out about. me other than there was a conspiracy. against me literally by Epstein and. other people. But I think it's time now. for the country to maybe get on to. something else. >> What would you say to people who feel. they haven't got justice, Mr. President? >> Something that people care about.

>> Let's play the other clip too, Jeremy, that we've got. Let's play the other. one. >> Time for the country to get on to. something else really, you know, now. that uh nothing came out about me other. than it was a conspiracy against me, literally by Epstein and other people. But I think it's time now for the. country to maybe get on to something. else. >> What would you say to people they. haven't gotten justice, Mr. President? >> Something that people care about. Yeah. What What would you say? Go ahead. >> What would you What would you say to the. survivors who you are the worst. reporter? No wonder CNN has no ratings.

because of people like you. You know, she's a young woman. I don't think I've. ever seen you smile. I've known you for. 10 years. I don't think I've ever seen a. smile in your face. You know why? You. know why you're not smiling? because you. know you're not telling the truth and. you're a you're a very dishonest. organization and they should be ashamed. of you. Okay. >> Sexual healthcare. >> It's hard to appropriately frame in. words.

what a vile scumbag he is. You're a young woman. You're a young. female. Why aren't you smiling? When she's talking about survivors who. are raped by Jeffrey Epstein and a child. sex trafficking ring where we've seen. what's why aren't you sm she should be. laughing. Is that what he should he. believes the survivors and the victims. should be smiling and saying thank you.

Donald. thank you Donald. Well, they should be h. I just I don't get how anybody. of any political I could care less if. you're a Democrat, if you're an. independent, if you're a Republican. What we just observed. is a vile scumbag human.

A vile scumbag. Can we all Is is that. how. We think other human beings just should. act. Take away the politics of them. Why aren't you smiling? You're a young. woman. And she's talking about. the damage and the pain and the. suffering. of survivors of a child sex trafficking. ring with photos of underage girls by. Trump's DOJ being put out there.

while Trump goes, "I've been vindicated. and everything. everything is great and everything is. and and if anything, it was a conspiracy. against me. And you know how he roots it. and centers it back in him that it was. all they were all out to get Donald. No, Donald, they. were out to get the underage girls. That's what was happening. Okay. You.

want to know where it was happening? Also at your home. at your damn home. in Mara Lago. That was one of the areas of ground zero. where child sex trafficking was taking. place. And it's undisputed. It's like, oh man, he's going to sue you. You're. getting cont. It's an undisputed fact.

that Virginia Juy, an underage girl, was. sex traffked and found by Donald Trump's. own words. He took the property. Epste. took the property from D. That's how he. referred to Virginia Dupra from Mara. Lago at the spa. The Mara Lago spa was. brought to Epstein's house a few miles. down the road. That's what was happening. So, it is. a moment where we should just reflect 13.

minutes into the show where I've only. shown three clips, right? One, Donald. Trump's paramilitary officers mocking a. young lady who they shot five times that. she has seven holes because they shot. her five times, boys. Seven holes, boys, is what Trump's. paramilitary was texting each other.

after shooting and almost killing a. young lady who was innocent, then. framing her, then mocking her and. sexualizing her and trying to throw her. in prison, but for her lawyers getting. her hands on those documents after. almost killing her. They would have. tried to throw her in jail for the rest. of her life. You have that and then you. have Donald Trump saying to Caitlyn. Collins, "Why aren't you smiling? You're. a young lady." She's like, "Because I'm.

talking to you about child sex. trafficking when your name is all over. these files. 38,000 times." And Americans want. answers. and you're out here claiming you're. vindicated. Sorry if it's difficult. to ever want to even speak to anybody. who supports Donald Trump.

How could you? Because it tells me if. you've watched. what we just watched in 15 minutes of. this episode, you are a sick sick human. Because a normal human's response to. what I just showed you in these 15. minutes is to not just be angry, but to be so overwhelmed with anger that.

you struggle to grasp for the right. words because your entire perception of. reality and the world is so hurt by the. fact that you genuinely have a cabal. of these oligarchs. who have caused such pain and suffering. to the world. and used child sex trafficking as their.

currency. for blackmailing each other for trading. favors. The child sex trafficking of. underage girls. was used as the chips, if you will. in their game of inflicting pain and. suffering through all these other ways. I mean, you think about it permeating. the files that talk about the underage. child sex trap.

You have discussions about propping up. the mega fascist Brazilian former. president Bolsinaro, talking about Brexit, talking about working with Putin in all. these different ways, talking about. propping up Bitcoin, talking about the annexation of Crimea. And it wasn't like Epstein's just. talking to like randos. He was talking to like.

the the main royal in the United Arab. Emirates, right? The family that Trump. right now just took $500 million like to. his own company for World Liberty. Financial and then gave our. semiconductor chips to the most highly. classified, highly sensitive information. we have in the United States. just gave. it over to the United Arab Emirates. after they invest $500 million in.

Trump's company. And then Trump's like, I don't know anything about that. I. don't know anything about that. But. Epstein's talking to that royal family. Epstein's talking to the former prime. minister of Norway. Epstein's talking to. Steve Bannon on like a daily basis, who. Donald Trump posted about yesterday. Donald Trump posted a photo yesterday of. Steve Bannon saying, "This is such a. great guy and he just thinks we're. stupid." Oh, Donald, you're just posting. a photo randomly of Steve Bannon. yesterday. Oh, maybe it's not like you.

just think we're stupid. You're posting. it, of course, because you're trying to. signal to Steve Bannon, I still got your. back. Don't talk about me. Don't. say the truth about me. That's why I'm. posting you. Here's a great guy who's. been treated really unfairly. You think. we don't realize that? That's why you. were posting photos of of Steve Bannon. yesterday, right? You've got Epstein. speaking to that guy Lord Mandelson, you. one of the top people at the time in the. UK. You've got Epstein talking to Ahood.

Barack, the former prime minister of. Israel. And they're all talking about meetings. with Putin, meetings with this, meetings. with that, meetings with that. you know, it's um. it it it is, you know, you the deeper you go into. these files, it it it is a it is a dark rabbit hole. to go down, but it is the truth. And for.

all of these years, Trump and his MAGA. thugs have been weaponizing all of this. stuff against their political enemies. And like it didn't make much sense, right? I mean, it's like pizza gate. Well, you're talking about using the the. pizza as a code word for children and. that it's happening at the at pizza. restaurants. Like, what the hell are. they even talking about? You go through.

the files and they're using pizza as the. code word quite frequently it appears. for their dastardly acts. So they were literally just using all of. the sick things they were doing to. project it upon everybody else. Deep. state this deep state. They were it. They were doing it. They were the ones. And then Caitlyn Collins asks a.

question. Why aren't you smiling? Oh, then of course the Howard Lutnik. stuff in there when Howard Lutnik. brought his children apparently to. Epstein Island and told Jeffrey Epstein, "Yeah, I've got a 13-year-old. I got an. 11year-old. My friends got nine year. olds.". After Lutnik said, "Oh, remember. Lutnik's interview with Miranda Divine. of the New York Post?" remember we. showed you that interview and uh Howard.

Lutnik was like, you know, Epstein was. my neighbor. I think he bought his home. from Epstein next door and he said, 'Hey. neighbor, you want to come over in 2005? So I went into Epstein's house. He said, "I want to give you a tour, Howard?" So. I took a tour. We got up there to the. living room. There was a massage table. and I said, "A massage table in the. middle of a living room." And Epstein.

says, "You know the kind of massages I. like." And I said, "I'm getting out of. here." So, I went back to my wife and I. said, "Darling, that man is disgusting.". And I've never. ever had a professional or business or. anything with him ever again. You're all. over the files, bud. You're all over.

him. Brought your kids to the freaking. island. apparently. he he he gave you $50,000 in 2017 when. you got some award. communicating. that's why for me. none of none of this is political I you. know I I. when people say oh well you're. this liberal podcast this is the leftist. podcast.

what are we what are we saying what are. we talking about I I don't think I've. described anything right now. that to me feels actually political, right? Trying to just talk about some. common sense stuff that we should all. all of us agree to. Jeremy, do we have. that post of the Texas delegate, the J6. activist as she calls herself, and she. was posting on social media.

Here's what she writes. Her name is. Trisha Hope. I feel physically ill. As MAGA as you. can get. I mean, she calls herself a J6. activist. I feel physically ill knowing I work so. hard to support Trump and it appears he. is a sick pedophile. I can't fathom the evil mind a person. has to have to harm children. I think. she posted something else as well where.

JD Vance, he wants to talk about today. Fantastic lineup for the Turning Point. USA halftime show, including the great. Bob Richie aka Kid Rock. And this Trisha. Hope says, "Not a word about Epstein. files from Turning Points, but watch the. halftime show. pound sand, right?

Horrible, horrible, horrible stuff. Now, I did a whole deep dive on Putin's name. being mentioned in these files. Hey. Jeremy, before I show what Trump said about. Putin today. in the stack that I sent you earlier. yesterday, he was also talking about. Putin. And I think we have this where he. said that Putin agreed because it's so.

cold. in Ukraine. that Putin said that he would stop. sending shahid drones and ballistic. missiles and cruise missiles. And Trump. didn't use the word ceasefire yesterday. when he was in the Oval Office, but he. implied that there was going to be. a brief reprieve, a a time where Ukraine. could have some rest. And in fact. yesterday. Zalinsky started posting and saying.

you see when the United States president. actually gets involved and applies. pressure. finally there were no missile strikes or. shahed and inative -22 degrees. We can finally have some room to. breathe. And they were thankful and they. were grateful. for just a very short period of time of. no bombings from Russia. and Donald Trump was asked about that.

yesterday. So first let's play yesterday. and then Jeremy I'm going to show the. one from today. But let's go back to. what he said yesterday in the Oval. Office. Let's play it. >> There's tremendous hatred between. Zalinsky and Putin. Tremendous hatred. I. mean, it's a shame, but uh it's taken. longer than we thought. I did call up. President Putin and he's agreed. He's. put it out to uh they have the same cold. wave that we do. Maybe different because. it's pretty far away, but it's the. equivalent. And Ukraine's a very cold.

country. It's much colder than us. It's. colder than they say on average. It's. Canada or colder. And on top of that, they have a tremendous cold wave. Then I. asked him if he wouldn't shoot for a. period of one week, no missiles going. into Kiev or any other towns and he's. agreed to do it. So it's something. >> that was yesterday. While that was taking place, Putin had launched one of the biggest. strikes.

over the course of the war in Kev and. Clark Keefe. Hundreds of shahid drones, ballistic. missiles. hitting residential areas. That's what. it looked like about an hour after. Donald Trump said that. Okay, so Donald Trump was asked about that. today. Here's what he said today. >> Ukraine. >> On Ukraine, Mr. President, um yesterday. you were talking about how Vladimir. Putin had agreed to pause during the.

cold weather. Overnight those attacks. have started up again. Apparently, the. worst. >> It was Sunday. It was Sunday to Sunday. and it opened up and he hit him hard. last night. No, he he agreed. He kept. his word on that. It was It's a lot. You. know, one week is We'll take anything. because it's really really cold over. there. But it was on Sunday and he went. from Sunday to Sunday. >> You just pointed he didn't go further or. go. >> I would have liked him. I want him to. end the war.

>> Okay. Well, Donald Trump promised that. on day one after the election. that the war. that Russia. started, Russia invaded. Russia's the. bad guy. Okay? It's not a. You saw how he was describing it in the. first clip. Zalinsky and Putin, they don't like each. other. Well, I wouldn't like somebody who burglarized.

my home. Does that make me as culpable as the. burglar? Okay, Ukraine is far worse. What. happened in Ukraine? They got invaded. They got invaded. And by the way, go through those Epstein. files. Epstein. is identified as Putin's money manager. by an FBI. highlevel [snorts].

confidential informant. Epstein is Putin's money manager. And. when you go through the files, he's having meetings with Putin or at. least describing them not with random. people with people who are prime. ministers who would know Putin. So seems. to be conceivable that those meetings. actually were taking place. Epstein. refer to all the great opportunities.

that would arise out of the annexation. of Crimea in 2014. Donald Trump right there after promising. he would end the war on day one. He said. even before inauguration, "We'll take. anything.". Putin kept his word. He said what he was. going to say. You know, you know, yet again, I just I genuinely wonder, not because.

of of a political affiliation I have, like I just as a human being, I tr I just I wonder and especially all. that we know now with the 38,000. references to Donald Trump and the. Epstein files and the the thousands of. references to Putin, all. and the the and the references to. everybody else in in this thing. I just. I I don't get how how another human.

being. can watch what I just showed you. and support that guy and like that guy. and think that that's a good guy. And I. understand his approvals at 37% but 37%. still means 37% of a country of over 300. million people like this guy. Still, with with all that with all that we've. with all that I've showed you in the. first 29 minutes of this episode,

I I then don't get what is dis what is. disqualifying for you? Nothing. You just. you must get off on this stuff. you you must share that same pathology, that MAGA zombified pathology. We'll talk more about that. when we come back. I want to remind.

only quick break of the show. After all. the chaos of the holidays, I hit that. familiar wall where it's 5:30. I'm. staring into the fridge and somehow. dinner has still not magically cooked. itself.

Welcome back. Support our sponsors. Discount codes are. in the description below. It's a heavy first uh segment, so I'll. do my best to lighten the mood a little. bit. Um, the Midas Touch Network sent a. reporter named Secret Service Sam. to. check out movie theaters in Los Angeles. and Pasadena and the surrounding areas. to see if people were actually seeing.

the Melania movie. And so we wanted to. investigate if there was way waste, fraud, and abuse behind the Melania. Trump movie. Here was our findings. Like, >> what did you just tell me you said? >> I mean, they're saying that people are. paying for um they're paying people to. watch the movie, so it's pretty empty. >> Wow, that sounds like evidence of fraud. Secret Service Sam here for the Midas. Touch Network. And I am so excited cuz I.

am here outside the theater in Pasadena. This is the entertainment capital of the. world. And I am here to see the Melania. movie. Is this fraud? I'm not sure. It's. packed. Patriot Secret Service Sam here. outside the Regal in downtown LA to see. my final showing of Melania the Bomb. I. mean the movie. That guy just told me. they've actually paid people to come see. this movie. But I got the limited.

popcorn. Let's go in the theater and. check this one out. I'm sitting in row. F8 F for fraud. Um, and I've been told. I'm the only person in this showing. Now, this is laughable. There is just they don't even have like. a proper sign. Never seen anybody. [music] talk about their mom's death. with such little emotion. He just told. Melania that he won and she didn't give. a at all. Dear G, how are you? Nice.

story about J and the New York Mag. You. look great on the picture. I know you. are very busy flying all over the world. I've never seen so many people in a. movie. >> How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go. down. Give me a call when you are back. in New York. Have a great time. Love, Melania. This is the best most emptiest. theater I've ever been in. This is. great. I've never been able to stand in. the front row of a movie. Nobody's. asking me to sit down. This is great.

Have you ever watched a movie this. close? Is anybody in here? >> Give me an E. Give me a P. Give me an S. Give me a T. Give me an E. Give me an I. Give me an N. What's that spell? Cream. file. >> That is fraud. That is fraud. Nobody is. in there. It was just me. Hey guys, how. you doing? >> That Melania movie is terrible. Don't go. see it, guys. Do not.

That's some real investigative work. right there. Thank you, Secret Service. Sam, for the service you did to our. nation there and identifying the waste, fraud, and abuse at the Melania movie. I. think it's undisputed what we just. observed right there. I I want to show. you though, you know, what these MAGA. sickopants in the House of. Representatives are saying today. This. was a press conference that they held. Here's MAGA Republican Congresswoman. Lisa Mlan. Here's what she had to say.

about uh Donald Trump recently. Here's. how she believes he's been acting. Let's. play it. >> Strongest president ever. I have. complete [clears throat]. trust in President Trump that he will. continue to enforce the rule of law, including each and every one of our. immigration laws. >> Strongest strongest men ever. I mean, these people are the biggest clowns. I I. don't even know how I don't I truly. don't even know how these people exist.

Magic Johnson, Republican Speaker of the. House, says that you can't in any way. lighten the enforcement requirement of. federal immigration law. That's what the. American people demand and deserve. Here, play this clip. >> We have to make sure we maintain the. important parameters here. We can't move. down go down the road of amnesty. can't. uh in in any way uh lighten the. enforcement requirement of federal. immigration law. That's what the.

American people demand and deserve. We. want dangerous illegal criminals to be. sent out of the country and they've been. very successful at that. Um but. I'll just show you this. So by now you. know we have a Washington DC bureau and. Pablo Monriquez has been doing a great. job. So I think Pablo asked Magga Mike. one of the best questions and uh he. talked about Matthew 25:35. because Magga Mike.

always wants to cite scripture about the. atrocities. So we figured. our reporter who br brilliant this is. you know why independent media is so. needed right now. Pablo says, "Can you defend. utilizing scripture. based on Matthew 25:35. the way you all are treating migrants?".

Here, play this clip. >> Publio has cited Matthew 25:35 to. critique Donald Trump's mass deportation. agenda. How would you respond to Pop Leo. in scripture? >> So, you want me to give you a. theological dissertation? All right, I'll tell you what. I'll post it on my. website later today. But let me give you. a quick summary. Uh borders and walls. are biblical from the Old Testament to. the New. God has uh allowed us to um set. up our civil societies and have separate. nations. Immigration is not something.

that's frowned upon in scripture. In. fact, it's it's welcome. We're to we're. going to welcome the sojourer and and. love our neighbor as ourselves. But. what's also important in the Bible is. that assimilation is expected and. anticipated and proper. when someone. comes into your country, comes into your. nation, they do not have the right to. change its laws or to change a society. They're expected to assimilate. We. haven't had a lot of that uh going on. When people cite um passages out of the. Old Testament, they say, "Well, um. you're supposed to uh take care of the. sojourer and the neighbor and treat them. as yourself. Uh welcome in." Yes, but.

that is an admonition to individuals, not to the civil authorities. The civil. authorities are given uh authority under. scripture to maintain order. Uh Romans. 12, you want to do this? Roman Romans 13. says that um that the civil authorities. are God's agents of wrath to bring. punishment upon the wrongdoer. And it. says if you do right, you have no fear. of the civil authorities, but those. civil authorities are necessary. It's a. calling. It's a calling to maintain. order in society. And we have not had. that. When Biden and Harris opened the. borders wide for 4 years, we had as many.

as 20 million illegals come across the. country. And we all know many dangerous. people, hardened criminals, child. molesters, rapists, murderers, all the. rest, terrorists who came into the. country. We did not take care of our. borders. Sovereign borders are biblical. and good and right and they're just. because it's not because we hate the. people on the outside. It's because we. love the people on the inside. We should. love our neighbor as oursel as. individuals, but it's a civil authority. and the government has to maintain the. law and that is biblical and it's right.

and it's just and I I'm happy to have. this lengthy debate with anybody any. time they want to. And I'll post on my. ex page the longer dissertation on that. for you today. Okay. Thank you so much. Did he cite Romans 123? I thought that's what he said to say. that his view is that his God endorses. ICE and Border Patrol. Is that. [laughter] is that is that really what. we just heard him say? I just I just.

Googled what is excuse my ignorance that. I didn't know what Romans 12:13 says, but share with the Lord's people who are. in need. practice hospitality. Doesn't seem to be what he said. there. That's what I heard him saying. Romans 12:3. Okay. Just a Google search. What about Todd Blanch? What's the. official position of our Department of. Justice? Todd Blanch is basically the. top official at the DOJ. He's the deputy.

AG who promulgates. what's the DOJ's policy positions, right? What does the handbook? What does. the manual say? What's the guidance to. prosecutors? Let's listen to what Todd Blanch has to. say as it relates to Jeffrey Epstein. This is the guidance to investigators. about partying with Epstein. Let's play. it. >> Well, as some of the people we saw on. camera at the rallies, um uh is there. any chance that any of these individuals. who partied with Epstein and engaged in.

um uh you know, relations with minors. will be prosecuted? any chance. >> we I'll never say no and we will always. investigate any evidence of misconduct. but as you know it is not a crime to. party with Mr. Epstein and and so as. horrible as it it's not a crime to email. with Mr. Epstein and and some of these. men may have done horrible things and. and if we have evidence that allows us. to prosecute them you better believe we. will but it's also the kind of thing. that that the American people need to.

understand that it it isn't a crime to. party with Mr. Epstein it isn't a crime. to have Like that's all that was going. on on some of those photos. I mean, if. the photos could speak, they some of. them look pretty bad. >> That's right. And and unfortunately, photos can't speak. And so, we need. witnesses. And we. >> are there videotapes that you all have. or. >> That's the official position. That's. what they're going with. That the DOJ's view is partying with. Epstein. not that bad.

Even Laura Ingram's like, "Yeah, but. some of the photos look really bad. Some of the videos, the emails look really bad. Really bad. And they're going to go with partying. with Epstein is great. All good. And. Trump's going to go with the only thing. the Epstein files. showed about Donald was that Epstein. wanted to hurt Donald Trump.

Just stupid. This is not what the file I. mean. it's not what the file said. There's. still 3 million documents missing. Probably 50 million pages because a. document can be multiple pages. So. probably 50 million pages missing. By. the way, where are all the financial. accounting records? Where are all the bank records? Right? I. mean, Epstein was involved in a billion.

dollar billion dollar money laundering. scheme. relating to the sex trafficking. So, undoubtedly. there exists bank records. day by day, month by month, year by. year, multiple banks. Where's that? Where's that? That's not That's not. here. Those alone should be millions of.

pages. And it will be a tedious task to. read the bank records. That's what. lawyers do. That's what when I was a. litigator, that's what that's what you. do, right? I was one of the lead lawyers. in a case against a. Ponzi scheme in California called. Medical Cap Holdings, Medcap. And there. was Medcap 1, two, three, four, and they. would be these special purpose vehicles.

And Medcap 1 would give. would raise money and then Medcap 2. would raise money to pay the investors. of Medcap 1 and Medcap 3 would do. And. the whole business model was that they. would, you know, allegedly buy. receivables from medical centers and. then they would collect on the. receivables and you would invest but and. they would buy the receivables for, you. know, 50 cents on the dollar, 45 cents. on the dollar. Why am I bringing this.

up? Because, you know, there was a SEC. case brought against Medcap. SEC had a receiver. I think the guy's. name was Tom Seaman. And we were the law firm. and our job was to go through I could. give you multiple other case examples. terabytes of financials. Terabytes. So when the Trump's like ah and by the.

way I had five lawyers on my team who we. worked with. That was sufficient. Maybe. we had a law clerk or two also. And we. would do the document review and we. would go through millions of pages. We. would use keyword terms, search terms, and we'd go through them every day. You'd spend 16our days. you know, wasn't. quite as fun as when I get to do YouTube. videos or podcasts or write on our. Substack Midasplus.com, but I'd sit.

there, show up, get into the office at. 7:30 a.m. right after graduating Georgetown Law, show up. 8:00 a.m., you'd just go through the documents. That's what you do. That's what you do. all day. You'd be with a team of five. people. You grab lunch. You order in. dinner at the office. You show out. You. show back up to your house. Some usually. at 10:30 p.m. You do that six days a.

week. That's what it's like to be a. young, you know, for those who are. watching who know people who work at law. firms, you know, and do that type of. work. That's what you do. You don't. complain about it. You don't whine about. it. Okay, maybe privately you whine. about it occasionally, but that's what you do. and you find the. documents and you get it done and you. redact what needs to be redacted. and that's just what happens. That's. just what you do. So when this DOJ. claims they have a thousand lawyers.

working on it, if I had a thousand. lawyers, we'd get it done in three days. A thousand lawyers? That's the stupidest. and the stupidest thing I've ever heard. 250 lawyers. By the way, they act like, "Oh, we didn't even have a lot of time. We had 60 days.". What do you mean? First off, you had 30. days and you missed the deadline. But. you had since last February when Pam. Bondi said it was on her desk. and you had a thousand lawyers working. on it from March of 2025.

to the present. That's what all the. public want to talk about waste, fraud, and abuse. What were we paying all these. FBI agents and DOJ lawyers overtime for. if they weren't reviewing it and they. were billing overtime for this stuff? By. the way, did did y'all hear the story. today about that DOJ lawyer in one of. these cases where a judge was calling. out the lawyer for violating. court order after court order after. court order like the DOJ and the lawyer. had like a breakdown.

in the court and said and said to the. judge she said her name is I think Julie. Ye Julie Lee and she goes judge the. judge is like counsel here I'll Just. read it. Shocking federal court moment. DOJ attorney Julie Lee. The judge says, "What's going on, council? Why are you. continuing to violate court order after. court order?" And this is what the DOJ. lawyer says. "The system sucks. This job.

sucks. Can you please hold me in. contempt, your honor? I need to sleep. Hold me in contempt.". That's where we are at the DOJ. where a DOJ lawyer is asking a federal. judge. to hold the DOJ lawyer in contempt to. get rest. so that she doesn't have to do the job. anymore.

It's a cry for help. And you know, as a law professor, it's. hard because I would always tell my law. students in the past, the best place you. can work at is the DOJ. I don't care if. it's a Democratic administration or a. Republican administration. Those are. some of the hardest jobs to get being a. DOJ lawyer. You know, it's uh they usually pick the. top students. You gain great experience.

It's a great path if you want to become. a judge. Some people stay at the DOJ for their. life, but you become a you get trial. experience. It's a great way to then go. into private practice. Like I know DOJ. lawyers work five six years at the DOJ. then you work at a corporate firm and. they'll pay you like 800k. five years in six 800k just because you. have so much experience and clients want. to hire you because you know so much. make a lot of money and.

learn a lot but now and by the way at. the DOJ itself you probably make 140 a. year 130 a year still good money um but. when you go into private practice, you. can make crazy money. And there was a. and be armed with so much knowledge and. be in demand. But like now, who wants to. work for the DOJ? I don't know what to tell my lawsuit. Uh, you know, because you don't want to. sound political, but it's not a matter.

of being political. It's just the DOJ's. not doing good work right now. They're. getting sanctioned and they're losing. cases. And so, right now, it's not worth. it. And also private firms are not going. to want to hire you when you get. sanctioned or when you lose cases. Right? The idea of why they hired you. before is because you'd win cases and. you'd gain experience. Not anymore. Now you become a podcaster. Someone said that. [laughter] Now you. become a podcast. Now you you take your.

Georgetown law degree. You litigate your. cases. And then you go, you know what? I'm going to be a YouTuber. That's what. you do. That's what you do. I I'll um I want I. want to me I want to mention this as. well. Um former President Clinton and. former Secretary of State Hillary. Clinton, they've agreed. to testify before the House Oversight. Committee regarding the Epstein files.

and. James Comr and the MAGA Republicans just. had their bluff called. because they wanted to hold the Clintons. in contempt. And if you were to have a hierarchy. of people to get their depositions in. public settings right on the Epstein. files, to me, Hillary Clinton isn't on. your list at all. Just being blunt. She. has not there's there's nothing there. Bill Clinton. would probably be in my tier two. I.

would want his deposition, but not right away. And depending on what my tier one. witnesses told me, I may or may not want. Clint Bill Clinton. But I certainly. would not have him tier one. Trump tier. one for sure. Why? Because the sex. traffing was taking place at Mara Lago. That's why. Not because his name is. Donald Trump, because because he was. close friends with Epstein. So, Bill.

Clinton I would put on a on my tier two. people who had highly suspicious. interactions with Epstein. Tier one. would be my co-conspirators, people who have made public statements. that like Epstein's a great guy. Gileain would be tier one, right? She. was willing to speak with Donald Trump's. criminal defense attorney, now number. two at the DOJ, but she's not being forced to testify.

publicly at the DOJ. Just think about. that, right? my tier one, the Epstein's bankers, Epstein's the. people who run Epstein's estate, uh Epstein's lawyer, those are like th those are the people. who I would want first. Obviously, the former Southern District of Florida, United States Attorney who covered it.

up. People forget Pam Bondi was the AG in. Florida when Epstein. was involved in the sex trafficking ring. there. So anyway, Bill Clinton and Hillary. Clinton will testify, but we want it to be done in public, too. We want a public hearing. Just. think about that, though, that they want. a public hearing. And you know, James Co. and they're all going to try to avoid.

that. But Bill Clinton and Hillary say they. want a public hearing. And James Comer's. like, "What am I going to do now? If we. do a public hearing, everyone's going to. be talking about Donald Trump." Yeah, the Democrats are going to spend the. time at the public hearing talking about. where's Donald Trump. We've seen Hillary Clinton at the. Benghazi hearing. She sat there for 12. hours. 12 hours. And so,

you know, so they've agreed to testify. publicly. Now what? Now what? Well, I'll. tell you what. The remaining 3 million. documents need to be released. Now, in my view, all of the victims and. survivors whose confidential information. was leaked. To me, they should be able. to sue the federal government for. traumatizing them. They It's a legal. violation. So I think they should be. able to have a claim against them.

I think that the when we read these. emails and the people who are involved, they need to be investigated and they. need to be held accountable. It's very. simple. It's very simple. And. that starts at the top with Donald. Trump. So I'll end the episode where I. started it. 38,000 times Donald Trump's. name appears on this batch of files in. 5,000 documents. His name appears 38,000.

times. What are we talking about? What's the. is there there's really still debate at. this point. So, at some point you're either. with that behavior and that's who you. are as a person or you're against it. And whether you're a Republican, Democrat, or independent, you should be. against it. But setting aside what you.

should be against, we should also talk. about what we should be for. I don't. want to lose sight of that. because what we should be for and it. shouldn't be. corny or. uh feeling. you know that what I'm saying is. uh [snorts] why are you going there you. know. but we should feel love and empathy and.

a desire for friendship and community. and we should help people. We should lift up people. Should care. about human dignity and human rights and. equality and diversity and equity and. inclusion. Those should not be bad. words. Should stand up for each other. We. should support democracy. We should support our allies.

That's what we should do. That's what we. as human beings who have a short period. of time to be alive on this planet. should do with our lives. at a bare minimum and not use our. precious time on this planet to inflict. pain on others who are just trying. to utilize their precious time in a.

meaningful and material way. That's my. bare minimum. And I just think that. there's there's so much going on that we. lose sight or we lose track of like. golden arches, golden ballrooms, billions of dollars and payments from. the Saudis and invading Greenland and. [sighs].

attack. It's just it's just. this whole Trumpian. cancer. has really. um. metastasized in a way. to to to block. a basic human dignity and a basic. love and compassion. out there.
