2:08Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump's dark and disgusting past continues to surface during his disastrous and unlawful war against Iran. And it is not only haunting him during this disastrous war. It is now posing an existential threat to the very safety of our troops who are being compromised by Donald Trump's links to Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump being the leader of the Epstein class. You see the Iranian leaders and the Iranian regime continues to bring up that Donald Trump is the leader of the Epstein class as a way to rally their troops in Iran and a way to rally their people against the United States. And we saw it in the parade that took place over the past 24 to 48 hours.

3:02Ben Meiselas:We see it in the language being used by the top Iranian generals, the people at the top of their national security apparatus, where they're telling their people, do you really want to be ruled by the Epstein class? The people covering up a child sex trafficking ring are the people who want to come here and govern in Iran. You want them doing to you what they've done in their past. They are utilizing that in the messaging to their people. And it is an effective rallying call of stop the Epstein class. And we know that the main reason that Donald Trump launched this unlawful war against Iran, in addition to the fact that Trump and Rubio said that Netanyahu was going to invade Iran first.

3:52Ben Meiselas:So they had to do it with Netanyahu. who otherwise they said Iran would then strike the United States after Israel attack first. But the main reason is that all of this information was coming out about Donald Trump and his connections with Epstein. Some of the darkest and sickest and most sadistic stuff, right? It was coming out from the Department of Justice after Ro Khanna and Thomas Massey forced the release of the Epstein files. And then as Donald Trump was on the ropes, you had Pam Bondi testifying about the Dow being over 50 ,000. How does that Dow look now for you, Pam Bondi? Then Donald Trump launched the war.

4:33Ben Meiselas:It was a wag the dog moment. Let me show you with receipts point by point what's going down right now. So you have right over here one of the top Iranian officials, Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammed Bagar Ghalibaf. And what he says is the fate of Iran will be determined solely by the Iranian nation, not by the Epstein gang. That was one of the first kind of statements that were out there by the Iranian regime saying we're not going to be ruled by the Epstein gang. Then yesterday, you had Ali Larajani, who's the national security advisor, the top of the national security structure in Iran. He was marching in Tehran Square with some of the top Iranian generals.

5:26Ben Meiselas:He was there with the foreign minister, Aragchi. He was there with Pazeshkian, the president of Iran, and Larajani in front of all of the Iranian media, in front of all of the people. This was his address to the Iranian people. I mean, just you remember the scene, right? The American and Israeli missiles are shooting down on Tehran Square, right? You have the Iranians who are protesting there. And then Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are like, we're raining down death. We're going to make you suffer. Iran is being destroyed. I mean, they're saying all of these things that are like rallying the Iranian people around the Ayatollah, like losing any support they may have once had back in January.

6:14Ben Meiselas:That's gone because the way of Donald Trump and Hegseth have behaved. And then Larajani goes this. He goes, Mr. Hegseth, our leaders have been and still are among the people. But your leaders, they're on Epstein Island. That's what Laron Jani said. And he showed a video of Pazeshki and the Iranian president walking around the streets of Tehran, again, seeming to be not afraid of any missile strikes. And again, they're using the Epstein class and we're not on Epstein Island. And this is kind of the Iranian propaganda we're seeing over and over again. And it doesn't even have to be propaganda per se, because Donald Trump and this whole Epstein class, you know, they're all about covering up a child sex trafficking ring.

7:08Ben Meiselas:I mean, when you have zero morals, zero moral clarity, when your entire regime is compromised the way the United States Trump regime is, how do you speak with any moral clarity at all? How do you put yourself on Iranian TV and say, we're here to help you? It's like y 'all are covering up child sex trafficking rings. Like, get the hell away from here. That's why this is so dangerous to our troops, right? And this is one of the reasons why in other countries, the moment they have people who are affiliated with people who are affiliated with Epstein, they're like, get out. Sorry. Sorry, you're done.

7:49Ben Meiselas:Even if you're two levels removed, we've seen in other countries, because they know once you have that taint, you can't lead. You can't try to do any of these things. And by the way, that's not what's happened in the United States where we have lots of these people in Trump's cabinet who like visited the island and they're like brag about it as though they think it's like a good thing. So you have, you know, Iranian propaganda like this. They write, the Strait of Hormuz is only open and safe for those who haven't visited Epstein Island. All pedophiles are sanctioned. Then Iran's been putting out all of these like these these AI videos like this one right here with Netanyahu and Trump and there and Netanyahu showing Donald Trump that he has the Jeffrey Epstein file on him of like like what Epstein Island looks like.

8:46Ben Meiselas:And then Donald Trump gets angry in this video and then presses the button, which launches the missile at the elementary school and kills the little girls in Manab. Right. The video shows Netanyahu basically showing Donald Trump Trump's dark past and then connects it to Trump killing the little girls in Manab. That's the propaganda they're showing in Iran. I'm just telling you what they're doing over there right now and how they're utilizing Donald Trump's dark and sick and disgusting past and the Epstein class that is in this Oval Office against them. There was another video that they put out where at the end of the video, it says inside out Epstein's client.

9:28Ben Meiselas:By the way, this is getting under Donald Trump's skin. How do we know that? Donald Trump's been making posts about Epstein. While we're in a war, Donald Trump is attacking Larry Summers and the fact that Larry Summers has to resign from teaching appointments and relinquish his university professorship over Epstein ties. Yeah, why do you think he had to do that? Because it's disgusting. And that's why you need to go as well. And you see how Iran is using it against you right now.

10:04Donald Trump:Nothing feels normal right now, let's be real, and pretending it does is exhausting. And that sense of acceleration is valid.

11:50Ben Meiselas:And by the way, there's been a ton of information coming out about Donald Trump's Epstein links over the past few weeks that are like bombshells, that are some smoking guns as well. We've been covering here and others have been covering the release of some of those new FBI files recently, which finally had the individual who was underage girl at the time, South Carolina. She was sex trafficked. She alleges she was sex trafficked by Epstein to New York and New Jersey. And she alleges that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her and said, little girl, I'm going to teach you how little girls do it. And then forced himself upon her.

12:33Ben Meiselas:I don't want to go into those really sickening what happened. These are just allegations. Donald Trump denies it. But then you had the Post and Courier, the main newspaper in Charleston, South Carolina. They confirmed a lot of details about this victim, the survivor, not as it related to Trump. They weren't able to, they didn't know one way or another, but they knew all of the things that were, because they're a Charleston, South Carolina newspaper, that all of the stuff that she said to the FBI about South Carolina and very specific things were true in South Carolina. We learned that the FBI believed that she was a very credible witness.

13:15Ben Meiselas:And then what seemed to come out at a deposition of Jeffrey Epstein's money man, this guy Kahn, who I'll talk about in a moment, Richard Kahn, what seemed to come out was that this victim of Epstein, who also alleges that she was a victim of Trump, reached a financial settlement with Epstein. So she was paid off hush money, another hush money situation. And then it kind of came out, oh, well, the Republicans were like, no, Richard Kahn never said that she reached a settlement and Democrats are lying. But then Richard Kahn, the money man for Epstein, then his lawyer said, oh, well, actually, it's possible.

14:00Ben Meiselas:We can't comment one way or another about whether or not there was a hush money payment. We can't comment on that. Here's what the House Oversight Dems put out yesterday. In a statement during the deposition of Epstein's money man, his accountant, Richard Kahn, Mr. Kahn's attorney claimed that Jane Doe Forth, this was that underage victim who made these allegations against Donald Trump, who accused both Trump and Epstein of abuse, never received any settlement from the estate. Now, Mr. Khan's attorney says he can no longer confirm or deny there was a settlement. Congress and the public deserve clear answers about whether the Epstein estate paid a settlement to an accuser who made serious allegations against Donald Trump and who was interviewed four times by the FBI.

14:49Ben Meiselas:Richard Khan needs to come clean about what the Epstein estate knows. We know separately from some of the documents the DOJ recently released as well. There was another incident where a victim of Epstein said that while she was being sexually assaulted by Epstein, Epstein called Donald Trump on the phone and Trump was like on speakerphone or something. That's just what was alleged. That was alleged. Trump denies it. But this is yet another example. This was a newer one that we hadn't discussed before. And that just came out as well. And Iran is using this. Iran is using this. And one of the theses that I'm putting forward as well, this is harming our troops, right?

15:33Ben Meiselas:Our troops are being placed in a very dangerous situation because of how morally rotten Donald Trump and his regime is. And that's affecting all aspects of this. And again, I did a whole report. Remember, I did a whole report on this as well. remember one of the things that jeffrey epstein always wanted was invade iran invade iran and as he was working with the epstein class behind the scenes they were trying to figure out ways always to like invade iran and like so here's an email september 1st 2013 hopefully some was he's writing this to ehud barak right who's a former israeli prime minister defense minister one of the top Israeli government officials.

16:16Ben Meiselas:September 1st, 2013, this is what Epstein and Ehud Barak, leader of Israel, are saying, hopefully someone suggests getting authorization now for Iran. The Congress would do it. Then later on, Epstein was talking about how he believed Donald Trump, when he was cornered, would start a war against Iran. And that's one of the first things that Donald Trump would do. Some more information from people on the House Oversight Committee and Democratic Congress members. Melanie Stansberry, great Congresswoman, she says, two breaking developments in the Epstein case. Epstein's own accountant, Richard Kahn, gave contradictory testimony this week about whether or not an accuser of both Epstein and Trump, Jane Doe Four, received a settlement from the Epstein estate for abuse.

17:06Ben Meiselas:He now says he cannot confirm or deny. And two, a guard on duty when Jeffrey Epstein died, Tova Noh will be called to testify in the oversight committee. And I think right now all this information is coming out about the cover-up regarding Epstein's death and how there was a press release that was prepared before he died that said he was going to die the next day. Then they added died by suicide. And then And there just seems to be a lot more suspicious details coming out there. Over the past 24 to 48 hours, too, the GOP members of the House Oversight Committee started attacking Democrats and saying, oh, you're lying about that victim entering into a settlement agreement with the Epstein estate when she accused Donald Trump.

17:55Ben Meiselas:She's not credible. She was not credible at all. And then the lawyer for Richard Kahn, Epstein's money man, had to come out and say, actually, we didn't mean to deny it. And also, if you go and read the Post and Couriers report, that South Carolina paper, they mentioned that she entered into a settlement agreement with the Epstein estate. So it seemed pretty clear, at least in my opinion, that there was a settlement that was reached. I'll just show you how like Iranian professors also are talking about the Epstein class just so you can see for yourself. Like here he is on Pierce Morgan. This is the line that's being repeated over and over and over again in Iran right now.

18:35Ben Meiselas:You can watch for yourself here. Play this clip.

18:37Donald Trump:The leader Ayatollah Khamenei, he was martyred because he stayed at home and he said, I'm not leaving my office and my home because many Iranians have nowhere to go. And so I cannot leave.

18:51Ben Meiselas:And he chose to stay, even though everyone knew that he would be a primary target. Unlike your leaders and the Epstein class in your country, which do all sorts of things to ordinary people, he stood with his people and he stayed with his people. And that's why he's so popular. And then another development in the past 24 to 48 hours as well, you have Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer just speaking at legal conferences, talking about how he's working really hard on her pardon with Donald Trump and that they're working hard to try to pardon her. while we're in a war in Iran, Donald Trump is posting about Larry Summers losing his job from Epstein.

19:35Ben Meiselas:Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer is talking about getting pardoned from Donald Trump. And then Iran is utilizing all this stuff, all the stuff about Trump's dark past in order to rally their people against Trump and to fight back against the U.S. invasion. This is what, again, happens when you have people like Donald Trump, morally rotten, disgusting people. It actually impacts our troops. It actually has a deeper and more profound impact. It's sick.
