1:06Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump is having a disastrous Sunday morning as the dominoes are falling from the partial release of documents in the Epstein files. About 3 million documents, which could be as many as 20 to 50 million pages, are still being withheld by the Trump regime as the cover-up continues. But we're seeing international leaders starting to resign while the Trump cabal in the United States, they're claiming they're vindicated when they are all over the file. So international leaders like Slovakia, Prime Minister's National Security Advisor has just resigned. His name was in the Epstein file sending grotesque text messages to Jeffrey Epstein.

1:50Ben Meiselas:This individual's name is Miroslav Lajak, and he and Jeffrey Epstein were talking about girls together. It was disgusting. Frankly, no different than the way people in the Trump regime were being talked about. But in the United States, the Trump regime, they are part of this cabal and they are not resigning. But we're seeing international leaders tap out. Now, Donald Trump, I'll give you a good example right here. Donald Trump's been sending his sycophants to do the morning shows and they're out there saying, oh, Donald Trump is vindicated. I have no more questions that we need to ask. Donald Trump was in these files over 5 ,000 times in some of the most ghoulish, grotesque, and disgusting ways imaginable.

2:34Ben Meiselas:If you've reviewed those files the way I have, all 3 million of them, watch the videos that I did and you think anybody in this Trump cabal should be anywhere near the proximity of power strike that anywhere near children or other human beings these people should all be locked up and if you don't think so I don't know what's going on with you to be honest so Donald Trump sends MAGA Mike Johnson MAGA Republican Speaker of the House he's doing the Sunday shows. And he's asked by Kristen Welker. So do you have any questions, any concerns about, you know, how Donald Trump's mentioned in here? Maga Mike's like, you know, absolutely.

3:15Ben Meiselas:I do not. I do not. I think it's all OK. It's all hunky dory, I guess. Watch what Maga Mike says. Here, play this clip. President Trump's name appears throughout the Epstein files, including in many of the new documents released this week. Now, we want to stress appearing in the Epstein files does does not amount to or imply criminal wrongdoing. But do you have any outstanding questions, given that, about the relationship between President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein? I do not. I mean, I've spoken to the president about this privately and personally many times, and he's spoken very candidly and openly to the public.

3:52He says the same things privately that he does publicly. He's never had any concern about that. Remember, President Trump was one of the first people that called Epstein out. He kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago, off the property, because he heard of some of the nefarious things he was engaged in. He's never had any concern about that at all. He did at one point call these files a Democratic hoax. But let me ask you about something. Well, what he said specifically was the hoax of the Democrats trying to turn this into a political issue and use it against him.

4:20Ben Meiselas:Then they bring in Todd Blanche, the number two at the Department of Justice, the deputy AG, Pam Bondi, the attorney general, is quite literally too scared to be in public right now. I think she's going to resign soon if I'm going to predict this. And I think Blanche is going to become the new attorney general or the acting attorney general. Bondi's too afraid to make public appearances or be interviewed. She's like that scared right now after what's gone down. But remember, Todd Blanche, who I'm about to show you right now, he was Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney. He literally, his job was to represent then Trump in criminal cases where Trump was convicted on felonies, 34 separate felony counts.

5:02Ben Meiselas:So Todd Blanche, who's now the number two at the Department of Justice, he's asked by Dana Bash on CNN. So did you look into those allegations against Donald Trump in the files that we've all read now and covered? Because they're pretty serious right there. And Todd Blanche, again, Trump's criminal defense lawyer and also the number two at the Department of Justice, says the following. Here play this clip. Among these new files is a list compiled by the FBI just in August of numerous salacious and to be really clear, unverified allegations about President Trump. Why did the FBI create this list last year and have all of these claims been investigated by the DOJ?

5:47So look, it's not about President Trump. It's about a ton of people, multiple, multiple, multiple people that were, quote, in the Epstein files. And what I think folks will see when they review the materials we released is that there have been hundreds of calls made to the FBI where allegations are made by either anonymous individuals or people who are very quickly determined to not be credible, whether it's the nature of what they're saying or the fact they won't provide any information or corroboration. And that's part of the Epstein files. So go ahead. I understand that. But the fact that you created a list, the FBI created a list about the allegations against President Trump, it is certainly noteworthy.

6:33I mean, he's a sitting president. And the question is whether or not the DOJ. But the question is, and I'm not saying that they're verified at all. And that's what my question is to you. Did you look into what you have on those lists? yes of course but no but what you're not being fair in that question because that that that index that list you're talking about was not just president trump it was all kinds of individuals other politicians other quote famous people where where we wanted to understand okay there were members of congress that were accusing us of hiding things which we're not doing and which we haven't done and so we wanted to understand why and where that was coming from and it turns out There was a number of claims made by either, like I said, anonymous people or somebody, for example, calling and saying, I used to have a roommate who told me this sensational story.

7:25So just, you know, obviously that's not something that can be really investigated. Right. What's your roommate's name? I don't remember. Right. So that's what that's about. I don't appreciate it being directed towards Donald J. Trump because that that pushes a narrative that is completely false. There are all kinds of people that are mentioned in the, quote, Epstein files that we had to look at and run down. Yeah, no, I understand. He is the only sitting president who we're talking about.

7:52Ben Meiselas:And then Todd Blanche tried to continue his cover-up tour this morning, and he declares the review is over. There's no more review of the Epstein files happening. He again blames the judges for why certain documents are not being turned over. And then he says, there's only like a handful of missing documents. We're not stupid, Todd Blanche. There are millions and millions of documents and pages that are still missing. As many as 20 to 50 million pages are probably still missing. And that's probably even more devastating than the stuff that's been produced. I'll talk about that in a moment as well.

8:29Ben Meiselas:Here, play this clip. Will more documents be released? we have released there are a small number of documents as i said on friday that we're waiting for a judge to to say we can we're allowed to release because of a protective order but there this this review is is over i mean we reviewed over six million pieces of paper thousands of videos thousands tens of thousands of images and which is what the statute required us to do You know, it's interesting. Leadership on the Hill, Congressman Massey, Senator Schumer are quick to complain. There is no way they have spent any time looking at the materials we produce because I know the materials we produce.

9:11We produce them on Friday. By Saturday, they're already complaining about what we did. And by the way, apparently Massey and others wrote a letter to come and review unredacted materials. I didn't get that letter yet. They leaked it to the press before they actually sent it to me. But yeah.

9:27Ben Meiselas:Then of course, of course, you all remember that last night, Donald Trump, when he was on Air Force One, said, oh, from what I've heard from very powerful people, they've told me that I am vindicated in the files and that it shows that I did nothing wrong. It literally shows the opposite. It shows that you've been involved in the most disgusting behavior imaginable based on those allegations. I frankly can't fathom much worse scenarios for Trump, Lutnik, and the rest of that cabal. But anyway, here, play this clip right here.

10:21through loud and clear. So we'll probably sue Wolf on that. And maybe the MC to stay, I guess. I don't know. But we're going to certainly sue Wolf. You want to sue the MC to stay? You may. I guess so. Because he was conspiring with Wolf to do harm to me politically.

10:40Ben Meiselas:That's not a friend. I'll just give you my experience as a litigator. When you litigate against very bad actors, the way I've litigated against them in the past when I was a practicing lawyer. First, they don't produce the documents. Then when you force them to produce documents, what they'll do is they'll do a document dump where they will include some bad documents for themselves in there. But what they're really trying to hide is the even worse documents because they think that you'll believe, oh, well, they turn these over. So that must be it. Nothing else to see, but they're really hiding even worse documents.

11:15Ben Meiselas:And I believe that's what's happening here as well. I think you believe it. Most people believe that. And the cover-ups just keep on continuing. The criminality continues. I read for you this article in my morning video, but let me share it with you again. The spy Sheikh from Abu Dhabi bought a secret stake in Donald Trump's company. The Abu Dhabi Sovereign Fund, or through this Sheikh, not even through the fund, separately through this prince, through this royal family member of Abu Dhabi did a$500 million investment for 49 % of world liberty right before the United Arab Emirates won access to America's most classified chips, the most classified semiconductor chips Trump gave over to the United Arab Emirates after this$500 million investment was made in Donald Trump's company.

12:08Ben Meiselas:Who's in this company? Donald Trump, Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Barron Trump, Steve Whitcoff, Zach Whitcoff, Alex Whitcoff, the Trumps and the Whitcoffs, when the Whitcoffs are out there being Putin bootlickers as well. Four days before Trump's inauguration, lieutenants to an Abu Dhabi royal secretly signed a deal with the Trump family to buy a 49 % stake in World Liberty Financial for$500 million. According to documents and people familiar, Rebecca Ballos writes, The buyer paid half up front, steering$187 million to Trump family entities and$31 million to Whitcoff entities. The investment was backed by the UAE National Security Advisor, Tanun Bin Zayed.

12:53Ben Meiselas:The deal put two executives of his company, G42, on the board of World Liberty Financial, along Eric Trump and Zach Whitcoff. At the time, the Abu Dhabi Royal invested in World Liberty. the company, Trump's company, had no products. It had raised$82 million by selling a token called WLFI, but the investment didn't give the buyer, the UAE Abu Dhabi fund, rights to future WLFI token sales, leaving Tannoon-backed entity out of what was then the company's only source of revenue. So they put$500 million into nothing, quite literally a quid pro quo. Okay. But then Todd Blanche, Donald Trump's number two at the department of justice.

13:41Ben Meiselas:Okay. Donald Trump's criminal defense lawyer is asked about that. And what he does is he says, Biden did the same thing. So it's Biden's fault. Watch this. Respond to those who say this is a serious conflict of interest. I love it when, when these papers talk about something being unprecedented or never happening before, as if the Biden family and the Biden administration didn't do exactly the same thing. and they were just in office. So look, I saw that article. I don't have a comment on it beyond President Trump has been completely transparent when his family travels for business reasons. They don't do so in secret.

14:17We don't learn about it when we find a laptop a few years later.

14:20Ben Meiselas:Let me be very clear. Biden did not do that. Utter lie. Not even, Biden didn't do anything remotely similar in the same planet or the universe. But assume for the sake of argument he did. Let's assume Biden did. All of you MAGAs hated Biden and said that he was the worst person ever for all the conspiracies you threw his way. So your defense is to say that Donald Trump is as bad as you claim Biden was. That's the nice things that you say about him. No, but you lie about everything. Biden wasn't doing this. Nobody's engaged in this level of corruption right here. But I think the voters understand what's going on right here, right?

15:01Ben Meiselas:Because if you looked at what happened in Texas yesterday, in Senate District No. 9, there was a massive, massive upset that took place right there, where you had Taylor Remitt, the Democrat, in this runoff, beating the MAGA Republican candidate. Wow, and nobody expected that to happen right there. A massive upset by the Democrats right there. And you see right-wing media is not covering this at all. And I think it's important that we see media bias in what's being reported out there. I often get asked, how do I stay up to date on the news all the time in order to do this podcast? My biggest go-to news source is Ground News.

15:44Ben Meiselas:It's a subscriber-funded app and news site. And every day they pull in thousands of articles from around the world and organize them by story and then show you what the right's reporting, what the center's reporting, and what the left is reporting. It's a game changer because as an active, responsible citizen, we must get our news from reliable sources. And in Trump's America, being informed about facts and media bias is the most important thing that you can do. But that's why I love ground news. For every article, they also tell you, did a media conglomerate put this news out or was it independent media?

16:15Ben Meiselas:And they also list the degree of factuality, which is interesting as there's a lot of news sources from media conglomerates that are mixed or low factuality. independent media seems to have a higher factuality, but you get all of that with your Ground News Vantage subscription. That's what I use every day. I especially like their Blindspot feature and their Blindspot feed, which highlights stories that are disproportionately covered by one side of the political spectrum, like the story I just shared with you about the Democrat State Senate District No. 9 race where Taylor Remit won, which like no right-wing media is covering right now.

I want to share with you also just these images right here of Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, as they boarded a flight February 1st, 2026 from San Antonio, where they were put in that concentration camp in Dili.

17:35Ben Meiselas:they went back to their home in Minneapolis after a federal judge ordered that they be released from a Texas immigration detention facility. Look at Liam right here. Look at Liam and his father. Congress member Castro, who was instrumental in getting Liam released, wrote yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley Detention Center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. But look what they're going back to. What I'm about to share with you are scenes from occupied Minneapolis this morning. Here's how Aaron Rupert describes it.

18:12Ben Meiselas:This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. This was at 3345 15th Avenue at South Minneapolis. And I think about, I'm taking my daughter to a park right after I do this video. And to think about ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo terrorizing children. And this is where Liam and his father are going back to. It should send chills through our spines. It shouldn't be a political issue.

18:55Ben Meiselas:This is just downright wrong right here. But you had MAGA Mike Johnson on the morning shows this morning saying that we don't really agree that the ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo should remove their masks. And he also said, why would we go through this extra process of having judicial warrants? We don't need judicial warrants. That's what MAGA Mike was saying. He disagrees with the Democrats in that because the Democrats want in future DHS funding bills a requirement that there be judicial warrants, not administrative warrants, which is just a restatement of the law. And MAGA Mike's like, why would we do that?

19:34Ben Meiselas:We don't want judicial warrants. Why add an extra layer of bureaucracy? Because that's in the damn constitution, MAGA Mike. Here play this clip. The mask, for example, the additional judicial requirement for a warrant would be a whole other layer of effectively bureaucracy. Remember, the immigration judges have already issued warrants, and that's what the ICE officials are acting upon. So there's a lot of details in this. We could get deep in the weeds, but we will do that over the next two weeks. And I hope that Democrats will be in good faith, as Republicans are, to try to bring some order to all.

20:07Ben Meiselas:And then the rest of Fox this morning and state regime media was Donald Trump sending his sycophants out like Caroline Levitt, who was lying about the economy. And she's like, inflation is down to 1.4%. No, it's not. The core CPI inflation is at 3.3 % and surging. The last read of inflation is hotter than expected. We're not stupid. We know it's not good out there, Caroline. Play this clip. Because we need a new chairman of the Fed, not just for timing purposes, but also for our economy. Look, President Trump has brought the core annualized inflation rate down to 1.4%. This is a remarkable turnaround from the record high 9 % inflation we saw under the previous administration.

20:49And President Trump has done the work. His policies are working and the interest rates for the American people need to be lowered. Kevin Warsh ultimately will make that decision himself. But it's very unfortunate that Senator Tillis is making such comments.

21:01Ben Meiselas:But then Caroline keeps on promoting the utter failure, the Melania Trump movie. Here, play this clip. And first of all, I want to say congratulations to Mrs. Trump, our beautiful, wonderful, classy first lady on the debut of her documentary film. I know that it's a blockbuster movie in theaters now, and it's a really great example of what the first lady is truly like behind the scenes. And she has a great influence on the president.
