0:04The Epstein files continue to be the Grinch that stole Trump's Christmas. the cover-up and the incompetency is crazy. Jennifer, look at this. DOJ released a shocking fake video of Jeffrey Epstein suicide as part of a filed up. What in the world is this? I mean, I just, I haven't watched the news in 24 hours, listener. And I tell the pups, just gather up the most recent crazy news stories for this Christmas week drop of IHIP News. And I just like, I'm just speechless. It's just insane that this stuff just goes on and on and it's just not met with that much resistance. Absolutely. And here's the thing.

0:57I watch a lot of true crime. So I feel like that if I were as big of a corrupt criminal committing Trump administration official like Pam Bondi, who's been corrupt for decades, I could cover this shit up better. Like the cover up is so terrible. They have a thousand FBI agents on it, all, you know, doing all this nefarious redacting. And they release the fake suicide video. And they also release this. Okay, so Republicans Against Trump publishes a report from an attorney at the Southern District of New York, wherein the email says, in a January 2020 internal email, an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York wrote that flight records show Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than has been previously reported, or that we were aware including during the period we would expect to charge in a Maxwell case.

2:06So this whole thing about I wish her well is coming to fruition, as we have said over and over. Trump is ass-deep in the Epstein files. He's friends and a co-conspirator with Ghislaine Maxwell. And the cover up is so bad that a thousand FBI agents weren't able to redact this. And then of course, they pulled it down. Once they released it, they figured it out and they pulled it back down. But the question is, are you surprised at all that Trump and Maxwell are all buddy, buddy? No, I thought that that was well known. Well, he's acting like, oh, well, my DOJ went down there. I I don't know her that well.

2:52We weren't that good of friends. I mean, he lies and lies and lies about it. Like it's a casual, hi, I saw you at Mar-a-Lago. I think the thing about the Epstein file for me is this, like there were the people who participated in what Jeffrey Epstein was doing, which was raping children. And then there, there, there are the people that knew that he did this and didn't say anything. They just accepted it. And it's like also a microcosm of what's happening right now. Like these powerful people are doing all of these horrible, nefarious things. And there are people that just, you know, just go along with it.

3:32And then I think another thing that's really been devastating when I think back on this entire year is just how many villains are arising in this. It was just Trump, like in his 1.0. And there were some other dicks in his administration, but they all kind of left him and had it, you know, dust up with him and then went out and wrote books. The amount of villains, like the villain super squad that's being built in the media, in his administration, at turning point, it's just overwhelming how many people are being celebrated for embracing like really bad shit. Well, and not only bad shit, illegal shit and cruel, I mean, cruel type stuff.

4:14They love to see people shackled and people with masks take, you know, ripping families and children apart. Like, I feel like they like it. And that's the most terrifying thing. And you're right, the whole cabinet's a bunch of villains. Howard Lutnick, nut look, as we like to call him, he knew what was going on with Epstein because he was over there one time. He goes out when all this is, you know, in the middle of being released and they're fighting about it. And he's like, yeah, everybody knew that, you know, he bribed people because he had sex tapes on him recording in the bedroom. And I'm like, you're in Trump's cabinet.

4:51You were his next door neighbor and you were fucking fine with it, Howard. I mean, it's just bananas. But of course, Trump, you know, he's just, he doesn't like it that people are still talking about Epstein. In the Little Dick Energy Department of War, he and Pete Hegsath make this huge announcement about all this money they're spending. And then he gets asked questions about Epstein. He gets real mad about it. Here we go. Like for instance, today we're building the biggest ships in the world, most powerful ships in the world. And they're asking me questions about Jeffrey Epstein. I thought that was finished.

5:27I believe they gave over 100 ,000 pages of documents. I thought that was finished. He thought it was finished when he was campaigning, saying, we're going to release the Epstein files. We're going to drain the swamp. It's the deep state covering up. He is the deep state. He is the swamp. He is in these. And the fact that some people refuse to believe how deeply he and Jeffrey Epstein were embedded is really fucking gross. But the absolute audacity, I thought that was finished. Like what? Yeah. This man is just, as we end this year and everything that he has done has become more and more normalized, I think it's broken more and more facets of society from people in government to people in our personal lives.

6:15And it's going to take generations to recover from this. But I think I read that all authoritarian cults have these components of sexual depravity in them. This is the component of Trump. I mean, this whole cover up. I think you have one side that says, release it. We don't care if it's Democrats. We don't care if it's Republicans. We don't care if it's bankers, lawyers, powerful people. Let's expose the entire thing. Trump, I read an article about a week ago that the people who have donated to his ballroom and and or his inauguration, they've all received all of these quid pro quo benefits. And there's one number one, that's gross.

7:01But number two, I'm glad there's a list of all of these people that are willing to side with oppressors and fascists. And we have a list of who these people are, juxtaposed to the actual United States citizenry and the customer base. And I just think as we head into the new year, there are two focuses that we can have. Number one, it's a midterm year and doing a huge get out the vote campaign. I mean, month after month after month, really getting everybody riled up about going to vote. And number two, these boycott lists, like the people who are going to bend the knee to this man who was covering up for a rapist, a child rapist.

7:45And at the same time, they are stamping out media. And media has been so important when government institutions have failed. For example, the Boston clergy, all of the priests in Boston that raped little boys, the Boston Globe uncovered this and covered in journalism, how the priests were moved from one space to another, the same with the tobacco industry, the same with Watergate. So at the same time, they're doing all of this illegal stuff. There's one thing that we have left, which is the media investigative journalists, which you and I are not. And these people work so hard getting the facts right.

8:27And he has like Larry Ellison and Barry Weiss and all of these dipshits, not to mention Fox, that are stamping out that one last thing that we have to hold people accountable. But I will say, and you've interviewed him a couple of times, Robert Garcia seems to be doing a really good job holding feet to the fire, Ro Khanna, and surprisingly, a couple of Republicans. It's hard for me to say it, but you have to give credit where credit's due, Massey and Marge. Yeah, hate to do it. Okay, that's a perfect transition to this next headline from Barry Weiss and CBS News, as you referenced, no longer the for the state.

9:06It is now state-run media. So NPR is reporting that CBS News Chief Barry Weiss pulls 60-minute story sparking outcry. And here was her excuse. Put this up. Weiss told colleagues this weekend, the piece planned for Sunday night show could not run without an on-the-record comment from an administration official. She pushed for 60 minutes to interview Stephen Miller. He didn't answer. Here's the thing about that. That is complete and utter bullshit. All you have to do is ask them to comment either on or off the record. Katie Couric, who was the first female ever to be on Anchor at Primetime News, she says it is disgraceful.

9:52What CBS has done is disgraceful. There's no autonomy for these journalists. This is what happens when the administration and the business of a media company overlap. It is stunning to me that this was the excuse. Well, and it's my understanding the original journalists from 60 Minutes asked the administration for comment and they did not comment. And that speaks volumes. And they left that there that, you know, this administration tortured people. Only 3 % of the Venezuelans sent to CICOT were violent criminals. 3%. So 97 % people with either no criminal record, a lot of them had no criminal record in this story, were sent to CICOT.

10:41They were tortured. They were sexually abused. All done by the United States of America. Government had an opportunity to respond and the government didn't. And that is the response. That is the power in that. Barry Weiss is trying to both sides torture. And I read a little email that she sent where she said, I've included Stephen Miller's phone number here because we need to go do more stuff here. So she tried to spike this story, but she's so incompetent, Pups, that she didn't realize that one of the affiliates in Canada already had it programmed to go out. And they went ahead and released it.

11:18And so this entire episode is online. And I encourage everybody to go and find it and watch it. And to Americans, I want you to realize this. We were denied our First Amendment right in watching this story. Canada got it. So when you hear all of these MAGA people talking about freedom, we're for freedom. America's for freedom. We're for the Constitution. We're for the First Amendment. It's bullshit. It's total bullshit. And I really, over the break, I'm going to dig into Barry Weiss because she is basically a billionaire fluffer. This woman at some point had some fake university in Austin. She made a statue of herself.

12:04I'm going to dig deeper into it later. We need to completely do an expose on her, but I just want to remind everybody that the people right now who are bending the knee to these billionaires and the people that are abandoning working class Americans, abandoning our country, abandoning the pillars that hold everything up together, it's not going to age well. So all of us here in this YouTube channel right now. We have built a community that we want to build other people up. When you are in a big multicultural city, you realize, oh, this is cool. This is really neat. The Barry Weisses, the Larry Ellisons, the Stephen Millers, the failed drag queen, JD Vances, the Moses Mike Grinder Johnson.

12:49These people want cracker ass cracker, boring snooze fest. And they have kissed ass to this despicable man who is barely competent. He played a clip of him early. He's barely competent, slurring. It sounds like he's got marbles in his mouth, but it just is terrifying because they're looking at what they want to set up after him. And what they want to set up after him as a North Korea style bullshit. Barry Weiss is a disgrace to journalists. What she did to these journalists at 60 minutes, apparently they work six months on these stories, rigorously fact check. It had gone through, you know, legal checks and all of these things.

13:32And that the last minute, Barry Weiss, whose number one driving ethos, from what I've read is being a Zionist is, I would think if you're if that was a part of your identity, you would want to shine a light. Anytime somebody was taken, denied due process and sent to a camp to be tortured, I would think that that would be something that you would want to shine a light on. And if the torturers and the kidnappers of this said no comment, then that speaks volumes that they're saying, yeah, we did it and we don't care to reconcile it. The fact that she's giving them time to come back and she wants to both sides torture is just such a disgrace.

14:16But here's the thing. Fox News kind of incrementally became this powerhouse that it is. Very wise has gone from a month ago, two months ago, 60 minutes was legitimate. Now it's batshit crazy. You guys, this is a time and we as a population can learn from this boycott Paramount, boycott all of their sponsors, particularly one that I have a bee in my bonnet about is Bank of America because Barry Weiss has a town hall, has feminism ruined women, sponsored by Bank of America. Bank of America, I would assume that half of their clients are women. So fuck Bank of America, boycott Bank of America, boycott Barry Weiss.

14:56We can learn our Fox News lesson. Do not let these people incrementally become mainstream. We can completely take this broad out and CBS, us, look at what we did with Jimmy Kimmel. I mean, the customers and the people still have power. Yeah, I've already canceled my Paramount prescription. I was like, okay, I'm out. No more. Okay, one other thing that I forgot to tell you is while we saw all this stuff from Jeffrey Epstein, he's writing letters to Larry Nassar, the... What? The gymnastics? The gymnastics coach at Michigan State that sexually molested girls on the U.S. national team. Jeffrey Epstein.

15:40Jeffrey Epstein wrote letter to Larry Nassar. I read it. Are you serious? That's not twisted. What did it say? It was just like, you know, just loose support. I mean, it didn't say we both like to bang little girls and rape them and traffic them. It wasn't like that. But I just thought that was so stunning. Like birds of a feather do indeed flop together. Writes a letter to Larry Nassar while he's in jail. Like he'd already been arrested. This isn't new news. Like this wasn't before. He reached out to him while he was in prison. How gross is that?

16:22You never skip your SPF and you carry hand sanitizer like an accessory. But what are you doing for HIV prevention? One way to help protect yourself from HIV is APRITUDE, a prescription medicine used to reduce the risk of getting HIV in adults and adolescents weighing at least 77 pounds. You must be HIV negative to receive APRITUDE and get tested before each injection. If you think you are exposed to HIV or have flu-like symptoms, tell your doctor right away. More HIV testing may be needed. Apritude does not prevent other sexually transmitted infections. Practice safer sex to reduce your risk. Get Apritude as scheduled.

17:04Missing doses increases your HIV risk. Don't take Apritude if allergic to it or taking certain medicines that may interact. Tell your doctor about your medical conditions, liver problems, and mental health. Serious side effects include allergic reactions or rash, liver problems, and depression. If these occur, get medical help right away. The most common side effect is injection site reaction. Bring your A-game and talk to your doctor. Learn more at Apertude.com or call 1-888-240-0340. I don't know why that, it's just, it's so gross. It's gross when you hear like little Moses, my grinder, you know, it's so, It's so horrible when you think about crimes against children, how vulnerable they are and the power dynamic and how a lot of them don't really, you know, it's not till years into adulthood that they're able to reconcile the abuse and that it was abuse and et cetera.

18:10And that we have an administration covering up and a lot of these people in the administration, Christian signal, and they claim that, you know, they're big Christians, but they're also pro-family and they're also pro-children. And then you have these people like Barry Weiss, who has an opportunity and a big job and a big stick. And this is what she wants to do. She wants to platform Erica Kirk, you know, two week long, just cram it down everybody's throat on that, which was completely intellectually dishonest reporting because she didn't cover any of the horrible stuff that Charlie Kirk said when he was alive.

18:48Of course not. And then she wants to both sides see COD. And there isn't. There aren't two sides to that. The United States of America was wrong. 100%. And facilitated and enabled and sent people to be tortured. And it's just, it's disgusting. It's disgusting to me. Trump, in and of himself, I understand. The growth and the people who have come out from under their shells in Trump 2.0, that feels so vindicated to be nefarious and diabolical. That's the grossest part of Trump 2.0. Him marbles in his mouth, Hannibal Lecter, I'm reducing drug prices by 10 million percent. I mean, rants, repeat, rants, repeat, same shit over and over.

19:38It's the people who think we're stupid, like Barry Weiss and other people think that the electorate is stupid, that we don't see what he's doing. And we don't see how the billionaires are all sucking up to him and grifting off of working class of Americans. And they think they can just push propaganda. And I guess it works in a small vacuum on Fox. And they think that they can duplicate that over the entire electorate. But that's the Trump 2.0 that I think I'm so disappointed about is how many more people have come out as so gross. Besides how vile there's a portion of our population, like the administration likes to inflict cruelty and there's a portion of the population that likes to watch it and they agree with it.

20:27And that's really, I mean, that's very unsettling as a human being. And I think another component we should talk about is when you have power, like whether it be media power or, you know, little, little Moses, Mike grinder has power. Steven Miller has power. When you have power, what do you do with it? Do you want to hurt people and sort people into groups and prioritize and quantify the importance of people like these people are the most important? And then we go down the stick. or do you want to help the most marginalized in your country and the people that have gravitated towards Trump like the billionaires Elon Musk I don't think he's ever donated anything to philanthropy I saw on Twitter a couple days ago now he's like there aren't any Republican professors at Yale well no shit because facts have a liberal bias you know but it's like people have these megaphones or they have this power and what a window to their soul what they choose to do with it and barry weiss you know she's going to find out she's going to she's gone to seek refuge in this fascist movement and it just doesn't it doesn't play well there's going to be many more there's more barry weiss's before there's gonna be many after but cbs news i mean what a what a horrible thing.

21:56And for so many people, perhaps like, you know, you know this from being a lawyer that worked in DOJ or work, I have a nephew that works in, for the federal government. There's a lot of really good people that are just looking for stable jobs and really good journalists that had really good jobs. I got a job at CBS 60 minutes. It's a big deal. They worked really hard to get there, believed in the truth, believed in journalism, believed in the first amendment, believed I have this power and I'm going to shine a light on corruption. I'm going to shine a light on torture. I mean, it just the most earnest, noble thing.

22:36And then you have these forces now that are being celebrated in the American population that are like, yeah, I have this power. And I'm, I'm, I think you're so fucking stupid America. I'm going to manipulate you into, you know, whatever I believe. And the way she spoke to her staff, there's an email that she sent to them. It's so patronizing, you know, it's just, it's really, it's really depressing. It is depressing. Okay. And I want to leave you with this because this gave me a Christmas smile. So as we know, Kash Patel cannot get laid without expensive toys. He is so profoundly incompetent, unattractive, miserable human on the inside and out.

23:20So as America's job markets go to shit, as people can't afford food, here's what Cash Patel is doing with his budget. Breaking FBI Director Cash Patel has spent taxpayer money on a custom fleet of armored BMW X5s so he can be chauffeured around less conspicuously. And Brian Allen says, nothing says humility and public service like armored luxury SUVs on the public dime. So this just feeds into my theories. He can't get laid without a private jet. He has to have all these armored BMWs because without expensive toys, he simply just sucks. That's what he does. He just sucks. Well, and one note I would make here is this is the America First movement.

24:06They're buying German cars. I mean, I don't care so much about that, but I do think, I guess maybe I do a little bit. I do think the American government, all of the vehicles and everything that they buy should probably be American made. I mean, that makes sense. We have Chevrolet, Ford, whatever, but you know, Cash Patel is such a, I mean, what do you say about Cash Patel? I just don't even, I don't even know. You know, when you talked about earlier about the FBI having 1000 agents redact all this stuff, I read somewhere and I can't remember the source, but I'm sure you all have read this too, that the FBI is so eroded right now that like the only reason they found the Brown University shooter who was linked to the MIT professor, which we need to dive into that.

24:59That's really weird. I haven't read enough about that. But it was because of a Reddit thread. Because the FBI has been so taken off, they're taken off of their cases, and they're either working on like deportations, or this Epstein shit. And so we're not even really.

25:20Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. They're not looking at domestic terrorism. They're looking for Antifa. That's what they're doing with our tax dollars. Which is like everybody that watches, all of us, the allied forces, everybody's anti-fascist, except for Tweedledee, Tweedledip shit, Barry fucking Weiss. And it's just, I don't know. I'm just in a foul mood today. It just, at the end of the year, having survived this first year of this, but you know what? I do want to say this next year, we're going to gun up for the midterms because we have to, like we have to have such a massive, massive turnout. And I think that we can super hyper focus on in the lead up to the midterms boycotts.

26:09And I think that we could organize with other left-wing pro-democracy content creators to remind these billionaires like how their bread gets buttered like you can you can go kiss his ass all you want to but when your stock plummets your board of directors are going to be pissed at you and which is all that's gross but it's all we have and so i think those two things if we focus on uh turnout getting people registered getting people prepared for all of the fuckery that the Trump administration is going to throw on us on election day, but they are still localized. Like elections are still localized.

26:49They're not federalized. And so we have to turn out in such massive numbers. And then I think we just boycott the shit out of anybody who's donating to this guy. Anybody, anybody who's funding Barry Weiss's propaganda into craziness. They all need to be boycotted. They all need to be reminded. You're fucking nothing without the American consumer. You're nothing. Nothing. All right, Jennifer, what I was going to say is like this video, subscribe to our channel. That can be an early Christmas present for us. Buy our book. It's supposedly the hottest book of 2020-26 going in. So we will be be back with more news.
