#712 The Epstein videos are our videos technically we paid for them why is she going to censor them?
TODAY: AG Pam Bondi is forced by plucky kid detective James O'Keefe into announcing that the FBI is watching Epstein's child sexual exploitation videos as fast as they can, but that thing from I Love Lucy happened where there was actually so much abuse material that it clogged the investigation machine and created a huge mess they have to clean up first. We examine the few excuses from MAGA for the continued "delay" and see if they hold up to the overwhelming number of concerns by those who JUST WANT TO SEE THESE VIDEOS ALREADY!!! ALSO: Serious deportation enjoyers wonder why the Trump administration is deporting fewer people than Biden but making a violent and distasteful show of arresting single mothers and politicians attempting oversight over the federal agency. Is this a plot by blue-state cops to make Trump look bad? Probably! Music: Slow Pulp - Cramps Kaizo Slumber - I am Happy Because Everyone Loves me (feat. Fromjoy)
And conservative humor gone awry is going to fascist-fornia today.

Big news this week.
It turns out, I don't know, Tony, if you're ready to hear this.
A lot of people might not be ready to hear this bombshell.
It turns out the Trump administration...
Is still investigating Epstein?
Still.
Still.
Yeah, well, that was, you know, I was worried people had forgotten about Epstein, and that's why I, you know, I'm constantly bringing it up.
I'm constantly talking about it in the workplace.
And I was so relieved to hear that they're still investigating Epstein.
I don't know about you, Tony.
You seemed a little...
Suspicious, maybe.
You doubt it.
You doubt the Trump administration is as good as their word.
Are they investigating the murder of Epstein?
Is that what they're investigating?
I think they're investigating all the child rape that Epstein is said to have done.
I don't understand how we're going to lock up Clinton if we're just investigating that stuff.
Did you not see this news, Tony?
No.
Okay.
The AG, Pam Bondi, the Attorney General for this country, your country, I don't know, Tony, maybe you might want to pay attention to this stuff since you live here.
She's a very important woman.
She came out and announced that they are watching child porn as fast as possible.
They are watching as much of it as they can, but there's just...
Too many criminals to even know where to start, Tony.
Yeah, that's a problem.
Have they thought about running it all just through AI?
Running it all through ChatGPT?
They did do that, and what they got was horrifying Studio Ghibli-esque monstrosities.
So, I think they might have pulled the plug on that.
Just because it's anime does not mean you can make them canonically adults.
Listen, I don't think Grave of the Fireflies is supposed to be entertaining.
You know what I mean?
True.
You're kind of like ruining the spirit of that movie if you try to turn it into sexual exploitation material, it feels like.
Yeah, you're missing the plot.
That movie's supposed to be like homework, okay?
It's not supposed to be fun for you.
Educational.
Yeah.
No, she came out and said...
FBI agents are watching all the Epstein videos.
There are tens of thousands of videos.
It's kind of wild that you didn't hear about this.
There are tens of thousands of videos with Epstein and children, according to AG, Pam Bondi.
We're going to listen to audio of this in just a second.
But it really does seem like they're making the excuse that there's just too many criminals.
You know, there's just too many adults in power having, you know, you don't even want to really call it having sex because that's not what it is.
Assaulting children.
There's just, God, where do you even start?
You know, it's like the paradox of choice.
You know, it's like Spotify or YouTube.
When you have every piece of music ever recorded at your fingertips, you get like...
Paralyzed with indecision.
Can't pick what to watch and what to listen to, what to watch on Netflix and all that.
What if they just were to divert the resources from ice to get all those people?
Sorry, say that again.
You're kind of breaking up.
Just divert the resources from ice.
Oh, okay.
Well, see, I think that's maybe what the deep state is trying to do.
The deep state is trying to say, we can't go after...
These criminals because we're spending too much money on these dang immigrants or whatever.
Ridiculous.
Why does it have to be an either or?
Why can't we just follow every perverse thought in my head?
I think we have the money for that.
I think so.
We've got the budget.
Yeah, it's like, you know, God, there's so much stuff here.
Do we prosecute Clinton 96 or Clinton 04?
That's a good question.
Do we go after the debut Abramovich soul-eating child sacrifice ceremony?
Or do we check out the third one where she really came into her own and started experimenting with Mongolian throat singing in the background?
You know?
It's a tough one.
I mean, I don't know.
Just do anything, please.
I don't know.
Rest assured, I think the message that they're trying to send is...
We are doing stuff, and it's nasty.
It's icky stuff, so you don't even want to ask follow-up questions about it.
You know what I mean?
You just trust.
Just trust that we're doing the nasty stuff that you don't have the balls to do, okay?
I think that's the biggest problem with this country is we don't just trust the system.
Just let them do it.
Just trust them.
They've never let us wrong.
They've never led us astray.
Just let them do it.
So, I want to do, like, a timeline for how I came into this news.
And before I start, I just want to reassure everybody that James O 'Keefe is safe and alive at the time of our recording.
So, we're going to hear some disturbing stuff that might make you feel for Veritas founder James O 'Keefe's life.
I just want to reassure everybody that he is okay, okay?
Are you ready?
I saw this on Facebook, actually, and shared it into the Minion Death Commandos Facebook group without knowing what it was referring to because he hadn't yet explained what he's talking about.
So this is the video that I saw several days ago.
I'm going dark.
I'm not suicidal.
Pray for me.
This one scares me, guys.
Two angles!
Two angles!
Did not see the cut coming.
It's James O 'Keefe sitting in a chair, like, bent over, like, trying to grapple with the enormity of his situation.
And, you know, seemingly scared for his life.
He says, this one scares me, guys.
And I've never known James O 'Keefe to be afraid of anything.
He's gone into the Vipers pit with that low-income housing company Acorn.
He's seen the evils of the world, like that one guy who worked for Twitter who didn't like Elon Musk.
This is a guy who's just got solid brass beans on him.
And yet he was terrified for his life.
Terrified enough to shoot with two cameras and then cut between them as he dramatically stood up to walk out of frame of the shot.
You know he's serious if there's going to be multiple cuts in an 18 second video.
You know this is a serious time.
Yeah, so we didn't really know what was happening.
It's T-7 days was the caption on this.
So something big was going to happen in seven days.
And turns out it's what Pam Bondi announced on her own.
Pam Bondi scooped James O 'Keefe because what happened was James O 'Keefe had one of his operatives Pretending to be a waitress or something and confront Pam Bondi at a restaurant and ask her about the Epstein files, which I'm sure Pam Bondi gets all the time.
I don't think you have to be a James O 'Keefe-level conservative influencer to have had this idea, hey, I should ask the Attorney General about all that stuff they said they were going to do.
Yeah, unfortunately, if you're the kind of person who recognizes Pam Bondi, you're probably the kind of person that's going to go ahead and interrogate her about this kind of thing if you wouldn't know her.
So here's his follow-up video.
After Pam Bondi released a little...
Did a little press conference about how much child sexual exploitation material they apparently have and how many people in power they have on camera.
James O 'Keefe tried to salvage that with this post and with this video on X. AG Pan Bondi was covertly recorded on April 28th.
So, listener, today is May 10th.
Pan Bondi came out, I believe, on either May 8th or May 9th.
To make this statement.
So they had it for like 10 days and didn't release it, and then she was able to scoop them, revealing previously undisclosed information about Epstein regarding, quote, tens of thousands of videos of little kids to a complete stranger in a DC restaurant.
Yesterday, the AG made an almost identical statement publicly after O 'Keefe Media provided a quote of what she said in a request for comment.
See, classic mistake.
This is why you never reach out for comment.
You always just publish without informing people that you're going to be talking about them.
That's what we do on this show.
We don't like to give our enemies a heads up.
Honestly, that kind of stuff, it just gums up the work.
It just slows down the process.
Don't do that kind of thing.
It's more bureaucracy, red tape.
We've got to move fast and break things if we need change in this world.
Absolutely.
Yesterday, Attorney General of the United States, Pam Bondi, was at the White House and disclosed what she represented as brand new information in relation to Jeffrey Epstein.
The existence of tens of thousands of videos featuring little children.
There are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn.
Now this is the first time...
Oh, cool.
I don't like this.
Don't we, you know, okay, here's the thing, is like, we know that.
Everybody already knows that.
That's like the one we do know.
The scoop is it's that the administration is willing to acknowledge that they have literal mountains of evidence on Epstein and his associates.
Something they don't really want to get out.
They want you to think, well, everything we had, we...
Put in a binder and we gave it to D.C. Drano.
That's all the information we have in D.C. Drano is like, well, I guess it must be true.
I'm going to become a White House reporter now.
It's just the funny part is them being forced, because they were forced to do this, I believe, by James O 'Keefe, give credit where credit is due, being forced To talk about this stuff.
We're not going to see the results from that.
We're not going to see fucking convictions.
We're not going to see clips of these videos with Bill Clinton in them or anything like that.
We're just going to get more lurid and lurid either leaks to the media or public statements to sort of sate that deranged Like, feverish, perverted bloodlust that these people have.
Because, I mean, these people love talking about pedophilia.
They love talking about child sexual assault.
They love talking about, like, hanging criminals, throwing pedophiles and woodchippers.
Like, you have to give these people something.
And so we're just, you know, we're just going to get increasingly, like...
Weird statements, I think, to the press about this.
Yeah, well, what makes it complicated is, like, I'm here to kill my local pedophile.
That's out of my jurisdiction.
So, you know, until I know about some locals, I can't really do much about it.
So they can save it.
I'm actually invoking posse comitatus on behalf of pedophile hunters.
So, I mean, there is no...
Like, the jurisdiction is American soil.
Hell yeah.
The official has publicly acknowledged that videos of Epstein and his victims exist.
What you may not know is just nine days prior, the Attorney General had a very similar conversation with a total stranger in a restaurant.
Do you know when the Epstein files are going to get released?
We hope soon.
Okay.
We're hoping soon.
We're hoping we do this thing soon.
Yeah.
It's so complicated.
Like you said, Tony, so much red tape.
So much bureaucracy.
God, big government is getting in the way of us releasing these files.
Wouldn't you know it?
I mean, it's only been, what, like six years?
We need Doge to further break the government in order to make it efficient enough for us to do the thing we said we were going to do.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
I love that she's like...
I wonder, honestly, if this isn't just, like, something she decided on her own to say.
Because I'm sure, for the people who, like I said before, she probably does have freaks come up to her all the time, and they're like, where's the arrests?
You know, like, I have this, in my notes, I have this segment titled Epstein Arrest Tonight?
Queen?
Epstein Arrest Tonight?
Queen?
Like, that's, like, Probably her entire career at this point is just people DMing her or adding her demanding Epstein arrests.
And so I wouldn't be surprised if she came up with this response just totally out of self-preservation.
One of these days, they're not going to like the answer I give.
You know, and I just have to come up with something, something good to tell them.
And so it's just, yeah, don't worry.
We're doing the prosecution.
We're doing the investigation.
There's tens of thousands of little kids, little baby kids.
It's so weird to hear like these official statements with the phrase little, like little children.
And like, I don't know.
You know what I mean?
Like it's that's first of all, that's not like a scientific or.
It's not a very specific term.
What do you even mean by that?
It's lurid.
It's nasty.
It's obviously a nasty act, but talking about it in these terms is like fetishizing it.
It's very weird.
It's just redundant for the sake of making it grosser, you know?
If it was her, though, what I would do is every time someone did that to her, I would look them directly in the eyes and I would tell them, what's the plan?
In the past, officials have spoken about the, quote, mountain of evidence in the Epstein case.
But they've never, previous to that moment, acknowledged on the existence of videos.
Acknowledged on the existence.
They were acknowledging on his existence till he, till he deposed.
Yeah, man, he's bad at this.
James O 'Keefe, probably too much drugs, I would say.
Fucked him up pretty bad.
But anyway, thank you.
Thank you for your work, James O 'Keefe.
Not everybody felt as positively.
Towards Mr. O 'Keefe, because I have here some responses to his Twitter.
Mallory Parker says, so disappointed in you, at James O 'Keefe III.
Oh, man.
All the hype and theatrics for info we all knew already, lost all respect for you, and at RealAlexJones, we trusted you.
You were better than them.
You had integrity and guts.
You look like CNN now.
And I can just imagine James O 'Keefe's heart breaking at that moment.
Especially when you're paired with a great Alex Jones.
It's like, damn.
They really are upset with me.
Not the fake news media.
No, that's not me.
I'm the real news media.
Trip, right under this, said, so all your major story that made you feel afraid of being, quote, suicided has done is damage your credibility as a legitimate source of news.
It wasn't the videos where every other word has been edited or just, like, you know, oblique attacks on otherwise positive institutions, you know, that single out, like, individual bad actors or whatever.
No, it was actually because your...
Concerned that the fucking DOJ isn't actually doing anything about Epstein and his client list?
Everything you have released over the last week has been old news, repackaged with a shiny new bow.
Clickbait bullshit.
And I think it's worth mentioning that bait is spelled like master bait.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Important.
That's important here.
That's some, like, ad busters shit.
Clickbait.
More like click.
And then you do the jerk-off motion.
Bait.
Get it?
Drop something real that we don't already know or STFU!
They're like, he's doing this for clout.
He's only talking about these videos for clout.
He doesn't even...
We knew this existed.
I mean, they're not wrong either, though.
He absolutely is an unreliable source.
He's absolutely a sensationalist.
He's an opportunist.
So it's just...
I don't know.
I feel like when these people...
We talk about being able to withstand the contradictions and having hypocrisy in your head or having conflicting thoughts or whatever.
The good thing about having like those underlying conflicting thoughts is then you remember them so you can deploy them later when that person inevitably betrays you.
You can be like, I always knew they were a fraud.
You know, I've, yeah, sure.
I still gave them money and watched their content all the time, but I, we all, we all knew they were a fraud.
Like, look at what a fucking joke this guy is.
How, how could he not be a fraud?
Yeah, this guy's clearly reheating Alex's Jones nachos.
More responses here.
ZZ and says, from my understanding, there's only one guy in the entire FBI who is allowed to view the evidence and identify which kids are which, so it's going to take a while.
And PJ Paul responds, which makes sense.
Law enforcement officers and court officials that have to review these types of materials often don't last long and have high incidence of depression, alcoholism, drug abuse, and suicide.
And that's what I'm saying.
This material is so fucked up to watch, you don't want it to mess up a bunch of FBI agents.
You just want to have one person take the entire psychic blow of watching tens of thousands of child sexual exploitation material.
And you know who that man is?
That one guy, we leaded someone with experience, a connoisseur of child porn.
That's right.
We got Dom Lucre watching every single FBI video before he determines which are relevant, puts his watermark on them, and then releases them to the public on the X.com platform.
That's how we know they've been thoroughly reviewed, if it has the Dom Lucre watermark on it.
Stamp of approval.
Just turn one person to a shell of a human, and that's way better.
And let's face it, he was already there.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, he's already made for it.
He was raised in the darkness here.
Amelia Cock says, Why is making these tapes accessible to the public a thing?
How sick!
Just identify the adults involved in producing and purchasing and let them stand trial and go to jail for life or death row for the starting with seniority for the most famous and the biggest profiteers.
And this is what I'm saying too.
Like everybody, like James O 'Keefe, everybody like Matt Walsh and Graham Allen and anybody who has a problem with what Pam Bondi isn't doing, I'm like, why do you want to see child porn so bad, bro?
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
You're literally begging the government to send you child porn if you want somebody to be arrested for these videos, in my opinion.
That is funny.
They're releasing the files.
They're releasing the videos.
I don't think that's happening.
I certainly hope that's not happening.
Yeah, release the videos so that...
What?
All those people who committed those acts in front of a camera finally get the audience they obviously wanted.
You're rewarding them.
You're rewarding them for bad behavior.
And I won't stand for it.
I love the X platform so much because in the middle of this conversation and thread about child sexual exploitation material and the prosecution of horrific violent crimes against children, we have a sponsored ad For Chitin, the Japanese mascot in the furry outfit in the form of a video where they're playing with a bunch of kids.
They're on a playground and the kids are just piling on top of the...
Sorry, I don't know how to pronounce the word.
Chitin.
I think you're good.
You know the mascot?
The kawaii, Japanese kind of furry mascot that's just so beloved.
Really there in the comments of the child sexual exploitation threat to cheer everybody up.
You know?
Yeah.
So weird.
Such a bizarre point.
It makes this innocent video seem real awful.
And I was like...
The only reason I know about this mascot is because the sponsored ads are everywhere.
It's like the Chitin likes...
I'm probably butchering that so bad.
They probably sponsor...
I mean, they do sponsor.
It's like, here's Cheatin at the Mets stadium.
She loves the Mets or whatever.
I see that shit all the time.
But I was like, are they trying to promote underneath James O 'Keefe posts?
I think they have probably better tech savvy than that.
And then that's when I took a second look at this.
It's not even the real Cheatin.
It's a, quote, parody account called Cheatin Nagoya, who is just sponsoring ads for Cheatin.
Like, this is probably a video from...
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a video that they took from the Cheatin feed.
Because it even says down at the bottom, from...
And then it has the verified, the gold verified, not to be confused with the blue verified.
So they took somebody else's video and are running an ad with that video.
It's such an incredible platform.
Also all happening.
It's all happening on X, but it's also all happening in the replies of child sexual exploitation material.
So wild.
Hey, how did we get the parody account bash?
If you get that, we can go buck wild.
I think, unfortunately, we're the serious minion death cult account on there, and you have to be a different person looking to trick people into thinking you're the real thing in order to get the parody badge.
And they would see through that.
They'd be like, you're just the same guys.
That's not what a parody account is about.
No.
Sorry.
How are you going to mislead people?
If you're the actual thing.
You're not even misleading people at that point.
Denied.
Put a big rubber stamp on it.
But yeah, more replies.
Last replies to, I think, James O 'Keefe here.
My Christian page says, Why hasn't she arrested the ones on the thousands of videos having sex with those little kids?
And whatever happened to those little kids?
Child sacrifice?
Release the names, dot, dot, dot.
And then she goes on to post a longer comment.
But I love that even in the world where we know sex trafficking minors to the benefit of the wealthy and also probably to be used as blackmail against those same wealthy people, we still have to concoct a child-sacrifice demonic narrative.
There's probably something even worse.
It's just like, yeah, the sacrifice happened.
They sacrificed a kid to multiple adult men over and over and over.
Again, I don't want to sensationalize this.
I don't want to talk about this in these fucking sensational terms or whatever, but there's not much worse than that.
You don't have to do this anymore.
Yeah, like, what happens bad enough?
They don't have to have their faces eaten as well.
Like, it's already bad enough.
You don't gotta make it worse.
It's just, like, America is, like, filled with these, I don't know, like, juvenile, mentally stunted people who are, like, they picture evil in that way rather than...
The evil that we all facilitate by living in this country, you know, by benefiting from living in this country.
But yeah, they reply to their own comment.
If you saw a high-profile person in a position of power R-wording a child...
Dot, dot, dot.
You would want to immediately remove that person from their powerful position for the safety of the child and other children.
Wow, that sounds reasonable.
And for national security reasons.
Oh, dot, dot, dot.
He would be compromised.
Hmm, dot, dot, dot.
Arrest as you go.
Dot, dot, dot.
They have these videos for months now.
Months.
Dot, dot, dot.
Actually, the DOJ and FBI have had them for years.
There we go.
You're figuring it out in real time.
Dot, dot, dot.
So they're not wrong.
That's true.
Yeah, that's true.
Several hundred months they've had.
No, not that long.
At least arrest the corrupt cops who have had this info.
Okay.
What do you find?
No, sorry.
There's a thing.
Sorry.
What's it called?
It's called qualified immunity.
Okay.
Cops were just simply.
Watching and benefiting from sexual exploitation material in the line of duty for their job that they were performing.
We'll see an Oscar winner convicted before we see a cop convicted.
Yeah.
Actually, we should be demanding this of at AG Pambandi, at FBI Director Cash, and sad to say, at FBI D. D. Bongino.
It is sad to say that Bongino's catching a stray here.
He's got to get his shit together.
He's part of this.
I don't know if this is a stray.
I think he signed up.
He signed up with the local clique.
This is his set now.
That's not a stray at all.
I haven't read Bongino in a while.
Well, he's FBI Bongino.
He literally works for the FBI now.
Yeah, that's so crazy.
It's so fucking cool.
Yeah, so, I don't know, like, my, you know, okay, I guess, yeah, like, Graham Allen.
We haven't talked about this guy in a while.
This is a guy who, like, one of the first, like, front-facing camera video guys that I can remember us talking about on the show.
He had this, he would do this, like, high-pitched scream as, like, his trademark.
When the libs were so crazy, it makes them want to scream!
Kind of a thing.
Yeah, he posted, A.G. Bondi says the FBI has, quote, tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn.
There are hundreds of victims, end quote.
People better be going to jail.
Matt Walsh, yeah, quote, tweeted this and said, this is, it defies logic that they would have this information for six years and do nothing.
I don't understand, you know.
Pretty obvious she's just being set up, right, by the Trump administration?
Yeah.
Like, It's pretty obvious they picked somebody who they could just have be the face of the failure to release the actual Epstein files and make any actual convictions.
It's the same thing with Elon Musk.
Elon Musk has always seemed to me to be this...
He's an actual powerful figure, to be sure.
Trump saw enormous value in having him on his team.
But also, he gets to be the face of the most unpopular shit in Trump's administration, like touching Social Security.
So, maybe they actually get the cuts done, maybe they actually disrupt it or fuck it up enough to do some serious damage to it, then good.
Whatever happens to fucking Elon Musk's Job at Tesla afterwards doesn't fucking matter, you know?
Yeah, so real, yeah.
Fall men.
Yeah, but okay, so Graham Allen, you know, people better be going to jail, what the hell?
Greg responds, this will be unprecedented.
This will cause uprising all over from the communist, then the eternal enemy, parentheses, the black caucus, will blame Trump and Whitey.
What?
Why are the communists the ones doing the upright?
Doesn't everybody want these people to be exposed?
I think he's saying too many communists because when you think of rich and powerful people who are in positions that would be good to blackmail, you think of I mean, you think of the communists who, of course, are at the top, at the tippy top.
And so they'll be upset when they start arresting people.
And then the Black Caucus, also communists, they'll try to blame whites for it.
They'll try to stir up racial hatred about it or whatever.
I love, like, this is real, like, classic Fox News grandpa stuff.
Like, I don't know, maybe the Black Caucus.
Still gets some burn in these circles, but I haven't really heard anybody mention the black...
This is like saying, oh, well, they can't ever release the Epstein files because then Al Sharpton will call them racist.
Also, I'm sorry.
I'm okay with blaming Whitey for Epstein being as Epstein is Whitey.
Oh, so now Jewish people get to be White.
Okay.
In today's America, I'll give it to them.
Yeah, amazing.
Yeah, I think maybe one of the reasons the Black Caucus might blame Trump is because Trump is in these videos.
Because Trump helped procure these videos.
That might be why, allegedly, that might be why people might be inclined to blame Trump.
Another reply to Graham Allen here.
George H. cross emoji, American flag emoji.
Looks like a gator emoji, but it's like a weird cartoony.
Play school playmates type alligator?
What the fuck kids keyboard are you working with here?
Then football emoji and orange emoji.
So probably a Florida shithead, I'm guessing.
George H. says, yes, by all means, release the names of people who have cases being built against them so they can be even better prepared in advance or even leave the country.
These other responses are genius.
Oh, I think.
Yeah, so did you think about that?
Did you think about that, Tony?
Yeah, what happens when you, once you press charges and arrest these criminals?
They'll know.
They'll know you're doing it.
Idiot.
Well, they don't have access to the Epstein plane anymore, so it's going to be harder for them to leave the country.
I love the idea of like...
Well, clearly, for this to work, we have to trick them into walking into a courtroom where our prosecution is already prepared and a jury has been picked and a judge is sitting.
Like, what?
Do you not know how the cops operate in this country?
Yeah, no.
The idea that you won't be able to arrest somebody...
If they're on video with a kid, are you fucking kidding me?
Yeah, yeah.
The mental gymnastics these people do to protect Trump is phenomenal.
It's so great.
Vincent Revers responded to Graham Allen again.
You're missing the point here.
She has the videos.
Why not release them?
Why does she have to review each and every one?
Is she a pervert by chance?
Those are our videos.
Technically, we paid for them.
Why is she going to censor them?
So I was like, on his side a little bit.
And then he's like, no, if they censor them, that could be them hiding evidence.
We need to see you everything.
My tax dollars paid for this child porn.
I need access to it.
Alright, I need to see it because these pervers Well, here's what you do.
You just find a guy who can get you some, and you pay for it again, and then it's double jeopardy.
They can't convict you for doing it a second time, because we all did it the first time.
As taxpayers.
I think that's one of the big hurdles that they're facing.
This is a lot of these people are in more than one video.
So that's double jeopardy.
Officer, those are my child sexual assault videos.
They belong to me.
Vincent Rivers at R-E-V-E-R-S-V-I-N-C-8-2-1-9-8 on Twitter.
And you like show them your tax returns.
This document says this is right from the line.
I paid for these.
This is theft.
The government is committing theft against me, the American taxpayer, by stealing my child porn.
Every time you go to the grocery store, that little number that rounds up, that's your right to these videos.
Censorship is theft.
I'll just say that.
More responses to fucking Graham Allen.
Johnny Biggin.
It says, at Pam Bondi is one of Trump's most pathetic and useless appointments.
Nothing but letdowns and disappointments.
Shame.
And see, we've talked about this before and it's phenomenal because the Trump movement is like a genuine political movement that aligns with a lot of people in power, a lot of People with capital and people with political power.
There's no real...
There shouldn't be, theoretically, there shouldn't be much disagreement with what Trump is doing for the most part.
However, the fan base, Trump fans, they're just...
They're evil.
They're like too evil for their own good.
You know what I mean?
When it comes to Trump's goals, the actual goals that he wants to achieve are in conflict with the other goals of the base of Of generating as much pain and outrage as possible.
That is what his base wants.
His base wants, like, maximum demagoguery, maximum punishment against their enemies, whereas, like, the overall ruling class just wants the continued, like, suppression and immiseration of people so they can continue funneling the wealth upwards, continue repressing class, you know, class revolt.
That sort of thing.
So if you get, like, competent cabinet members, if you get, like, people who are also evil, but competent, that's not gonna work.
Because they're gonna do things, and I'm not saying that this Epstein prosecution has been competent, because I don't think they're actually trying to do any of that.
But generally speaking, when it comes to appointments, it's like, this is what you get.
Sorry, you get AG Pam Bondi because any serious person would not just go along with whatever Trump says at whatever time he says it because they would be like, sir, this is counterintuitive.
Sir, these decisions don't help us.
And we'll get to that in another segment.
But that...
Like, the actual results, well, those actual results aren't going to happen for a year, two years.
We need it now.
We need the pain to happen now.
And so you just get people like, you know, Kash Patel.
You get people like Pam Bondi.
You get all these, like, clowns because that's what the movement actually wants.
The movement actually wants these, like...
Petulant children just saying whatever comes to their mind at a moment, whether or not it's actually enforceable, achievable, a good strategy, yada, yada, yada.
So I don't know.
If you're a MAGA fan, if you're a Trump fan, it must drive you insane to watch things like this happen.
Because you do have almost all the power in the world on your side.
It's just you do it too stupidly to where it doesn't work.
It still causes pain for people.
It still causes bad things to happen and continues us on this long-term path of obliteration.
But it's unpalatable for so many regular people.
This is the last thing.
Pacheco, the ghost, replies to Graham Allen, this Pam Bondi video, I wish they'd keep her from the cameras.
There are always criminal activities being investigated and justice is promised, but then nothing happens.
Phase one was when?
Just stop talking until you're ready to say a real thing.
And this is why I think most of the backlash to James O 'Keefe existed.
Because they're just mad at him for reminding them that nothing is happening.
Like, please don't tell me about it.
I know nothing is happening.
Please, I don't want to hear about it.
Yeah, I need something solid to work on here.
Don't give me...
I don't hear you're working on it.
I want to hear that it's done.
And if you can't tell me that it's done, don't tell me anything at all.
Yeah, please.
Just, like, don't acknowledge it.
Because now I have to answer questions to the few, like, liberals I still have to talk to about why Trump isn't actually prosecuting the Epstein.
You just reminded everybody of what a fucking failure this administration is.
Please don't do that.
Yeah, we don't want to talk about it.
We don't want to hold a mirror to it.
Just like keep it quiet.
Next topic.
Did you see this video from Massachusetts where ICE was dragging away a mom holding her baby?
It kind of seems like half the street turned out to record and try and demand answers and demand documentation.
From these ICE agents, they were asking to see ID or warrants, and the agents were saying things like, we don't have to show you anything.
And this is like, as there's multiple reports and videos of ICE agents in fucking hoodies and masks and cargo pants and shit, looking like...
You know, their favorite operator from Sicario going into these U.S. neighborhoods and dragging people away, kidnapping people.
And somebody, you know what?
Somebody kind of noticed, hey, this looks bad.
Yeah, not a good look.
We have here Jimmy Dore.
I think this might be one of the first times we've talked about this guy fully on the show.
We have Jimmy Dore here quoting that video, and then he writes, quote, and he's like, he includes the quotes.
Hey, I know, or hey, I know.
There should be another comma after hey.
Hey, I know.
Why don't we make it look like we are out-of-control maniacs using Gestapo tactics while arresting a woman with a baby?
Question mark, comma.
That should rally the public to our cause, comma, no.
End quote.
Cops are supposed to identify themselves so people know they're not being kidnapped by criminals.
This is not how this should be done.
Could you stage worse optics than this?
I doubt it.
This is so frustrating.
I know Jimmy here has...
Heterodox views, let's say, on many different things.
There are some things that I've seen him say where I'm like, oh yeah, that's common sense.
There are other things where I'm like, you're a demon propelled by money.
So I went into his history and I searched immigration.
And he is absolutely anti-immigration.
One of his big things apparently was Calling liberals hypocrites for getting mad at Trump for deporting or for securing the border or whatever when that's what we should do and that's what politicians have always done and yada yada yada.
He is like an anti-immigration believer.
He believes in strong borders and preventing immigrants and why?
I don't know.
Speak for himself on that.
But seems pretty anti-immigrant.
Seems pretty anti-undocumented immigrant, at least.
And this is, I guess, kind of like what I was referring to in the last segment, is that you have these true believers in these awful Trump policies who are like, this doesn't look great.
Yeah.
Wait.
And instead of coming to the natural conclusion that, well, Jimmy, that's because it's not great.
That's because what you like is bad.
That's because you are a bad person.
That's why this feels bad to you.
Instead, typical YouTuber fashion, it has to be pretty half-assed, in my opinion, but spun into a sort of conspiracy theory.
Hmm, could you stage worse optics than this?
I doubt it.
Yeah.
Why are they doing this, Tony?
What possible motive could these cops have for being out-of-control, power-mad, bloodthirsty kidnappers?
Yeah, it's not like they don't have millions of people cheering them on, begging for this to be happening for so long, and now it is happening, and they're like, wait, I didn't know it was going to look like this.
Yeah, or protection from any sort of...
Like, punishment for violating the Constitution, violating the law.
Like, hmm, I wonder how we got to this point.
Weird.
It's weird how we gave them all tanks and now they're using them?
That's so strange.
That's not cool.
I just thought they were supposed to pose by and bring them to, like, you know, state fairs and stuff.
Yeah, so I, you know, I just, I don't have much to say about, like, this specific tweet or whatever, but, like...
It's just, as this keeps happening, you're going to get more and more resistance to that.
And we're already seeing that, and we'll get to that in just a second.
And you're going to need, I guess, if you've been previously championing this stuff, you're going to need a way to try and assimilate yourself back into the rest of society.
To be like, well, I wanted it, but not like this.
Or actually, when they were doing that, they were trying to make conservatives look bad when they were arresting, doing the thing that we demanded they do this whole time.
But some people disagreed with Jimmy.
Michael, bro.
Oh, it's Mike something.
I don't know.
So she gets to break immigration laws because she has a baby.
You should look into testosterone replacement therapy.
Hey, listen.
Empathy is a female trait.
Yeah, there's nothing more manly than hurting women and children.
That's right.
That's how you know you're a real man.
And you don't need a uniform to do it.
You can do it in plain clothes.
That's how you know you're more authentic.
Oh, you don't want to spend $1 million imprisoning and trafficking a young mother and her baby?
What are you, gay?
Man card revoked, brother.
Or should I say sister?
I think maybe we should be a little more understanding and courteously as immigrants.
Pause.
Yeah, I do believe sex is a construct.
And if you donate women and children, you are one of them.
The only trans women that exist are the ones who believe in due process for immigrants.
Yeah, totally.
You can use the women's bathroom.
Fine.
Fine.
I'll let it slide now.
Yeah, when they go to ask for ID, when they do their bathroom check on you, they also, you know, part of that is if you have an ACLU card, they let you stay.
You're good.
You're good.
Tone police opposition replies.
My first gut reaction to this is that the cops in Massachusetts, parentheses, and other Dems states would stage horrific events like this to rally the public against it, dot, dot, dot.
The original post even has a, quote, Dems United hashtag.
Wow, how'd they get that hashtag on the video, Tony?
You can only do that through official channels.
You have to have government connections to put the watermark on there.
That's how we know Dom Lucre is legit.
Exactly, yeah.
And this is Dem.
These are Dem police, and that shows it's fucked up.
Trump would be wise to come out and say, quote, we are going to punish cops who do this.
There's nothing Trump loves doing or saying more than about how he's going to hold cops to a reasonable standard.
Yeah, it's his favorite.
It's like, I'm kind of tired of hearing it.
It's kind of like a broken record at this point.
That's the whole thing about this entire thing.
This tactic that I was using, this whole, you know, This is nothing new.
They've been doing this forever.
It's just happening more now and getting recorded on video more now.
It's like, this is what you wanted.
And we have a Republican president who's talking about it a lot versus a Democratic president who wants to pretend like he's not doing it and a bunch of like...
Democratic voters willing to close their, willing to go along with it and close their eyes for the sake of the greater good of getting another Trump administration in the white.
It's so funny for all these fucking Democrats who thought, like, supporting Biden, even despite, you know, how many fucking...
Immigrants he's deported or how many bombs he sent to Israel or whatever was for the greater good.
It's like, yeah, that greater good was getting an actual open Republican, open right-winger into power.
Congratulations, guys.
You did it.
Good job.
Nailed it.
But I'm not like...
Any lib who wants to call this...
fascism or wants to call this Nazi shit 100% I'm not gonna like I think it's a kind of a waste of time to start like going through people's like past statements and being like well you supported it back then or whatever and it's like yeah that sucks but if there's an actual way to get rid of this shit by By lining up with the libs who have suddenly found their conscience,
it's worth it.
You're only serving your base personal desire for shame by trying to shame anybody who is...
Unless they're a person in power like Joe Biden or like one of these congressional reps or whatever, you could actually punish them by...
Not re-electing them or by forcing them through sheer will to apologize, to change their tune, to do all that.
But it's...
I don't know.
It is a good thing for liberals to acknowledge that ICE is like the Gestapo.
Yes, yes.
And the only time it's really important to shame them is in the next election when they have a chance to do this again to remind them that these Dems they're supporting were doing the same thing.
That's the only time it matters.
Right now, it doesn't really matter.
I'm happy they're pissed off.
They should be pissed off.
But they've got to stay pissed off when it comes around again.
Vernacular.
And this is like a novelty account, but it's Ernest.
Oh, Vern.
But Ernest isn't Vern.
No.
That's a different...
Ernest would just say Vern.
Yeah.
It's like the Obama Hope poster, the Shepard Fairey poster, but it's Ernest.
In the photo, but then it says Vern underneath.
So just like somebody severely confused or they so liked the vernacular pun that they were like, fuck it.
I don't care if the graphic doesn't make sense.
I know.
If only you can make a pun out of, you know, the name Ernest.
If only there was a way to use Ernest in a phrase like this.
But no, vernacular is fine too.
Because I think Vern was like never on camera.
I don't think you see Vern.
You don't see Vern, so you can't make a poster of Vern, so you make a poster of Ernest, but he's looking off-camera at Vern, and that's how you know what he's talking about.
Oh, but you know what, though?
You don't see Vern just like you don't see the deep state.
Vern is pulling the strings.
Vern is the George Soros of the Ernest universe.
Everyone knows that.
The Erniverse.
Okay, Vernacular.
And this is the real Vernacular, by the way, guys.
Don't get it twisted.
This is the real.
No, this is not a parody account.
This is the real Vernacular.
You know, we could have told, we could have, we got this with the blue check already, okay?
We knew you were the, but just to be safe, his at is at real Vernacular.
Deporting less than Biden while using war powers under a phony, quote, invasion by Venezuelan gangs, then screeching, activist judge.
Feels like they're just making excuses to not do the thing the donors don't want done.
And this is kind of like what got me thinking about the way that they think about this.
The way that they think about the competency of the Trump admin.
Like, they genuinely...
Have to tell themselves that it's not that the Trump administration is just grossly evil and incompetent.
It's actually the donors are only pretending to want this stuff done.
And they're telling Trump how to do it in the wrong way?
It's like, no, you guys backed the idiot.
You guys backed the jackass.
I'm sorry, that's what happens when you back a jackass.
This is exactly what you wanted.
You forgot about that.
There's no surprises here.
And it's again, it's what I've said on every episode for the last month.
You threw the baby out with the bathwater.
You already had the competent, overreaching surveillance state that would target these undocumented immigrants for expulsion that would...
Do the systemic racism.
Do the systemic redlining.
Do all these things that didn't quite benefit white people, but it's what you think would benefit.
It's what white people, what people on the right say will benefit them.
Deportations is going to raise my wages.
You know, arresting black people in mass is going to improve our communities.
Like, these are their goals, and they had it.
They had all this stuff, like, locked in.
But they're so evil, and they're so, like, they have such a hard-on for pain and for blood that they fucked it up.
You know, they dropped the fucking bag.
They ripped the bag open looking for more money inside the lining of the bag and all the dollar bills went downstream.
You know?
Yeah.
Lucky number Slever.
Slever?
It's so beautiful.
You don't get this with Facebook.
That's one thing you don't get with Facebook is the chosen names.
Yeah.
It's unfortunate.
You get this in message boards and you get this on discus replies on news articles and stuff like that.
But it's really beautiful to see what they come up with when they have unlimited freedom.
Lucky number slever.
What the fuck is Slever?
Is that his name?
I think so, because his ad is Sir Slever.
Sir H.C. Slever.
And it's like, okay, that's your name.
I understand you might like the movie Lucky Number Sleven or just be aware of it.
It doesn't work as a pun!
It's a name!
It's not a number!
Yeah, it doesn't work at all.
And again, Sliver, there's plenty of things you can do with the name Sliver.
You know, Sliver works better.
Yeah, Sliver.
It was a fun movie.
It was a good time.
Who's in that?
Common and Josh Hartnick.
Wow.
Yeah.
Josh Hartnick.
I might have to watch this.
I remember it being fun.
Josh Hartnett's just such a good actor.
It's true.
With those beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes and sort of brooding, like withdrawn, introspective demeanor.
I just really like his acting skills.
Do you think he did this name change when Josh Hartnett had his little comeback last year?
Or do you think he's been down the whole time?
Oh, yeah, that's a good question.
I don't think many people have thought about Lucky Number Slevin regardless of Josh Hartnett's personal accomplishments.
I don't think that one's quite in the zeitgeist.
I think this guy just saw that movie title at Blockbuster when he was 12 and was like, that looks like my name.
It's close.
Okay, when I was talking about people resisting this stuff, I mean, there's a pretty great example of...
The mayor of Newark getting arrested by ICE.
Did you see this, Tony?
No.
That's wild.
Yeah, this is the Newark mayor, Raz Barka, getting arrested by ICE for trying to perform his duties as an elected representative to enter this Ice holding facility and make sure that everything is legal, which apparently is not, and was then arrested by Ice.
And this is his statement that he made after he was released, and I think it's a pretty good statement, so I wanted to play it for everybody.
Well, that's one way to get in to see the facilities, you know, is get arrested.
Oh, he was like the Joker.
He was trying to get arrested the whole time.
They fucked up.
They did.
They blew it.
At the council meeting, get up and say...
Okay, he says he heard somebody at a council meeting get up and say that I love immigrants more than residents.
Let me tell you this.
Everybody in the city is a resident.
Everybody that catches the bus.
That goes to work.
That tries to find a job here.
That tries to get their kids in the school.
That stands in food lines and bread lines.
Trying to get food here in this city.
That set their foot on this soil.
And risk what we all risk every day.
Moving up and down this community.
Trying to find opportunity for ourselves when opportunity doesn't exist.
Working to help everybody else and help our own families make something out of our lives.
So our children's lives will be better than our own lives.
Dammit, anybody in this city that moves back and forth is a resident here.
They're our neighbors and we ought to protect them.
Yeah.
Yeah, fuck yeah.
Yeah, I mean, that's like how I look at it, you know, is people are people, man, and one, like, Unfortunately, under this system, it is true, unfortunately, under capitalism, that somebody's benefit can often be to another person's detriment.
Somebody's success can often lead to the failure of somebody else.
I'm namely talking about your boss stealing your wages for profit.
That's mostly what I'm referring to.
But people in this country have deeply intuited that other people's success will come at my expense.
Yeah.
They have internalized that because it's often true.
This is a dog-eat-dog world.
Not a dog-eat-dog world.
It's a dog-eat-dog country.
And it's, you know...
The way that they want it is, quote, survival of the, quote, fittest, by which they actually mean the richest.
And so people have taken this to mean, well, if there's an immigrant making five bucks an hour under the table or whatever, that's somehow the cause of me only making $15 over the table.
Yeah.
And that's just simply not true.
That's just...
Simply not the case.
We will only ever truly succeed as a united group of people.
That's the only way we can possibly ever surmount the challenges we have before us.
And to people who are in, I don't know, good faith saying we need to get rid of people in order to strengthen ourselves.
I would say that doesn't make sense.
We need to mistreat other people to better ourselves.
And that is just like, apart from the emotional response I have to that or the empathetic response I have to that, just my rational response to that is, what are you talking about?
We are never going to have the strength to take on...
The powers that be, if we're constantly focusing on punishing the weakest, the most marginalized people among us, you are replicating the system of exploitation that you yourself feel.
You feel exploited.
You feel like you've been deliberately prevented from succeeding in this country.
And now you're doing it to somebody else.
Now you're doing it to another person.
What's wild, too, is you can even view this as a capitalist lens and still get to the same end we're at, where it's like if you want your society to be thriving, you want every contributing member to be able to contribute to that, to the maximum ability.
And you can't do that if you are doing the $5,000 on the table.
If you make sure that they're getting paid the same amount, they can also buy more stuff.
They can also, you know, contribute to the economy more.
They can also, you know, not be the weight that you think that they are on everybody if they were being treated correctly.
Because like he says, if you're in the city, if you're here, you're a resident.
If you're taking the bus, if you're doing a job, if you're eating at the restaurants, you are a part of, you are a resident, you know?
And it's funny how they don't see that.
They're just like, no, we just got to get rid of them.
And it's like, no, they can help.
They can be part of it.
They can be your customer.
You know?
But they don't see it that way.
Like you said, they just see it as them taking something from them that they never had in the first place.
Yeah, so, I don't know.
Shout out to Newark Mayor.
I don't know much else about this guy, but I really like this full-throated endorsement, full-throated defense of immigrants and immigrant communities.
It is something that Democrats have been fucking terrible on.
Have been either cowards or just outright ghouls about this stuff.
And so it is refreshing.
Maybe politicians will be doing it for cynical reasons because they know that their Democratic base is really fucking pissed off.
But good.
I don't know if we can force these politicians to act in this way.
That's what they're there for.
Even if they're doing it cynically or just following the polls, good.
They better.
If they know what's fucking good for them, they will.
Absolutely.
That's what they're there for.
They're supposed to listen to us.
Yeah.
Well, that's the episode.
We're going to leave it there.
Thank you so much for listening to the show.
Again, fun episodes every week on patreon.com slash minion death cult for only five bucks a month.
You get a bonus episode every single week.
We got a good one coming up.
Thank you to everybody who supports the show.
Shout out to everybody who's going through it right now.
We feel you.
We are working people, too.
And we feel the fucking crush.
My industry is doing layoffs.
I know Tony's been fucked over by the job market several times over now.
Yep.
We only get, like I said, we only get through this together.
