The Great Epstein Backstab (E332)

Many Trump voters were under the naive impression that his administration would release information about Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators in his child trafficking operation. So it came as a shock when the DOJ released a memo claiming that they couldn’t find any “client list,” there is no evidence of Epstein blackmail activities, and they did not find “evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.” Not even MAGA loyalists are buying this. Jake, Julian, and Travis try to make sense of the DOJ’s blundering attempt to put an end to Epstein chatter, discuss how the memo contradicts previous statements by FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and explore whether this is scandalous enough to fracture Trump’s base for good.

If you're hearing this, well done.
You found a way to connect to the internet.
Welcome to the QA podcast, episode 332, The Great Epstein Backstab.
As always, we are your hosts, Jake Rakotansky, Julian Fields, and Travis View.
Oh, I'm sure you have an intro, Travis.
Sorry, though, I have an ad.
It's for Adobe Creative Suite.
It's what you can use to edit a minute out of footage of a jail cell.
I was wondering, like, where you were going to go with this, interrupting Travis before he could even get the first word of his intro out.
If you interrupt me before I even speak, is that even interrupting?
No, it's actually polite.
Like, it goes full, yeah, it goes full circle.
Like, it's actually polite and respectful.
Yeah, that's the most polite thing that you could do because you don't stop somebody mid.
You stop them from ever starting.
I'm in Adobe Audition.
It's working great.
We're recording in that.
And like I said, you know, this is the suite that will allow you to, you know, edit out whoever killed Epstein.
Yeah, maybe I'll edit out a minute of Julian's life.
Fuck, that would be cool if you could just like edit people.
It's funny, I meant it as like, I guess, like kind of like my version of a threat, but then you were like, I don't know, maybe that wouldn't be so bad.
In fact, I want that.
I'm on an existential tip.
Travis, go ahead, please.
So back in 2019, after prolific sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein died in prison, Let me get through one sentence.
One sentence.
No, I don't think I will, but you're lauding his career.
Like, prolific?
Prolific is a morally neutral world.
It just means you do it a lot.
You can be a prolific interrupter.
You can be prolifically rude.
It's not a compliment.
The episode that we recorded after he killed himself, like, it took me so much longer to trigger you this bad.
Okay, please continue.
I will no longer interrupt.
Back in 2019, after prolific sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein died in prison, then Attorney General Bill Barr assured citizens that Epstein's sudden end should not bring comfort to anyone who was complicit in Epstein's depraved activities.
But let me assure you that this case will continue on against anyone who was complicit with Epstein.
Any co-conspirators should not rest easy.
The victims deserve justice, and they will get it.
Everyone's a fucking hero till they get the sit down, huh?
Yeah, right.
Well, I bet Bill Barr, whose father, Donald Barr, was the headmaster at the Dalton School while Epstein taught math there, feels a little silly today because, according to the current Department of Justice, Bill Barr was threatening nobody at all.
In a memo, the DOJ stated that they conducted a thorough review of the material that they have related to the Epstein case.
And here's the evidence they say they went through.
To ensure that the review was thorough, the FBI conducted digital searches of its databases, hard drives, and network drives, as well as physical searches of squad areas, locked cabinets, desks, closets, and other areas where responsive material may have been stored.
These searches uncovered a significant amount of material, including more than 300 gigabytes of data and physical evidence.
Bro, how is the FBI doing a limited hangout to itself?
This is so fucking cursed.
It's like, of course, if someone wanted to hide it, they're not going to leave it in a fucking desk.
Oh, we're looking for it everywhere.
We checked under the beds.
Bro, it's like it's that fucking Tim Robinson, like, dressed as a banana thing.
Yeah, totally.
And what did they find, according to that memo?
This systematic review revealed no incriminating, quote-unquote, client list.
There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions.
We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.
Bro.
Doom.
It's like nobody fucked kids with Epstein.
It's like nobody was there.
It just didn't happen.
You know, my theory here is just like, it was everybody.
Like, there's nobody who doesn't want this squashed.
That's why it's so absurd.
It's like the guy had a private island, private jet, private boat, submarine.
He's taking people, underage women there.
There are photographs of them there.
He's a notorious criminal.
He's done these things.
But there's nothing else.
Like, he's like, well, the island was like just where like he did his own crimes.
And like all the people who visited, like, they had no idea.
It was like the people who went to Diddy's party.
No idea that people were being like raped in the back rooms.
Bro, like, yeah, Epstein was just like doing the barbecue thing.
And then he did leave for a couple hours, but then he came back and just like finished the ribs.
Yeah, because everybody knows like you need your own island so you can do perfectly like legal, you know, above board things.
Like, what do they think we think?
Because it's like the black book is out there.
We know he had multiple numbers for Donald Trump.
We know he knew everybody, like had their numbers, was in contact.
We have fucking passenger, you know, lists of people who were on the plane.
It's basically like the entire trail is just like, it's like when you're playing like a Batman game and like there's just like a blood trail leading you somewhere.
And then it's like, well, there's nothing.
There's no quest actually.
Nothing to see here.
Citing graphic content and victim privacy, the DOJ said no public disclosures of Epstein files are appropriate.
Yeah, yeah.
The fucking issue here is that it's child porn.
So let's not arrest the people who fucked children in the videos.
Of course, there was the question of whether Epstein had any active assistance in ending his life.
Active assistance.
So to quell those suspicions, the DOJ released nearly 11 hours of footage from a camera from the common area of Epstein's special housing unit, which they say someone would have to pass through before they got to Epstein.
So there's about 11 hours of this very low-res shot.
Bro, this is such a low-effort cover-up.
So that's the end of that.
So the conspiracy didn't extend beyond Yelain Maxwell and Epstein himself.
Boy, that's a relief.
I owe an apology to Prince Andrew.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They took him off the list.
He could travel here.
He could fly down as well.
Am I going to have to retract all my stories about him?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was rude.
That was actually really fucking slanderous.
Now, there are some, if you can believe it, who don't find all this very satisfying.
Yeah, Travis, I do have to probe you and say, in terms of idealness, would you say this is or is not ideal?
No, no, this is far from ideal.
Now, the people who don't really buy all this include serious journalists who have covered this for many years.
Julie K. Brown, the Miami Herald reporter who has done heroic work exposing Epstein, wrote this on Twitter.
As I've written too many times to count, there are massive amounts of FBI/slash DOJ files that have not been released, or those that are available are so heavily blacked out that they are unreadable.
The FBI and DOJ can release these files, redacting the names of victims, so that the public knows what the FBI did and didn't do to investigate others involved in Epstein's sex trafficking operation.
The quote-unquote list is a red herring, but that doesn't mean there aren't names contained in those FBI files.
Yeah, I tweeted this.
I was like, there's no client list, so we can't list the clients.
Like, what are we fucking talking about?
There are people in the FBI right now that were part of that team that opened the fucking safe on the island.
You should be fucking ashamed.
I hope you listen to the show so I can tell you that you're pathetic.
Yeah, you know, it's funny.
It's like one of those things where it's, again, I like, I would really like people to get clear on definitions.
Sometimes when people say the client list was like, do you imagine that like when he, whether there's some sort of like, Epstein personally kept like, okay, RFK Jr., two children.
Prince Andrew, three children.
It's like, there's, there's, probably, probably that doesn't exist.
Sure.
He's fucking, he's fucking turning the little like iPad and it's like square, you know, like there's like a two bucks off.
Like if you, you know, purchase a few times, you become like a trusted, you know, client.
But, you know, I think also when people say, you know, the Epstein list, they also mean like lists in the same sense of like all books that whose, whose titles start with the letter T, right?
There's probably not a list of that that exists in reality right now, but you could compile such a list if you had all the right information.
Yeah, Epstein docs are kind of timeless, I find, like, especially when it comes to people posting about them online.
Like stuff that came out years ago will be sort of presented as like a new docs.
Just like anytime people say Epstein docs, like you really have to kind of go in and see which ones they're talking about, because there have been just a handful of disclosures over the last decade or so, like a lot of it from testimonies that were made a year ago.
But people will oftentimes, depending on how it can be used politically, will bring up these older lists presented as new.
And so there is this kind of shapelessness to anything, you know, Epstein related, document-wise, at least.
This is what we call like shit covering, essentially, you know, to get parapolitical, to become a parapolitics guy.
It's so straightforward.
Like the black book was a PDF and it was just released.
It was out there for everyone to have.
The fucking passenger manifests are out there for everyone to have.
So they have to make it more complicated.
They have to be like, oh, well, it's like a fucking infomercial where it's like, oh, I don't know how to drink from a cup.
I need this other cup.
Like, give me a fucking break.
You know what?
Until they fucking do a decent job at actually investigating this, it is a fact that he was a Mossad agent and that America is a fucking genocidal Zionist project and Epstein was a very key part of that.
And fucking children is like their ritual.
Like it's like their, their blackmail.
It's their fucking, now you're part of the club because you can't go back.
Like, what are you going to not send weapons to Israel when they have a video of you fucking a kid?
Anyways, I am saying this because the FBI has not done a good investigation.
So when you do a good investigation, I'll stop being pilled.
We're more than happy to accept, you know, good research, solid, you know, solid investigatory work.
We're more than happy, you know, you know, we like to normalize changing our minds around here at the QA podcast.
But until you give us cause to do so, yeah, we might, we might, you know, Travis not included, spin out of control.
They should start a Patreon.
Like, have they considered doing like an independent podcast?
Like, the FBI probably doesn't even pay that well.
Like, you can make some good money, you know?
You'll be fine.
They won't kill you.
They won't edit it out using Adobe.
But what's interesting is that even the MAGA faithful are pretty furious about this.
Like, I've never seen like them as pissed off as they are about this and like multiple platforms.
So we're going to talk about that today because, you know, they believe that the Trump administration would release significant information related to the Epstein case, but now they feel betrayed.
This is a skill issue.
Like, you fell for this, dumbass?
He's a pedophile.
Like, the one thing I think maybe Joe Biden isn't is a pedophile.
And I hate that guy.
Anyways.
Yeah.
Say what you want about Biden.
No Epstein connections.
If he ever did pedophilia, it was like a Mr. Magoo style pedophilia where he got into an awkward situation and like a saxophone was playing.
Now, part of what made this memo so confusing is that so many Trump administration officials have previously indicated that there was a list to be released.
I mean, Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed that a list of Epstein clients was sitting on her desk.
The DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients?
Will that really happen?
It's sitting on my desk right now to review.
That's been a directive by President Trump.
Bro, yeah, yeah.
The list that reveals the pedophilic sex cult at the core of world power and the empire.
Yeah, it was just like in my inbox.
Like it was just sitting there.
Yeah, I'm going to get to it.
Now, more than ever, my story about Trump severing himself so that he could, you know, like go to Epstein Island without like somehow feeling and being held accountable, it feels like closer and closer to reality.
If he's like, first thing I want you to do is get the Epstein client list.
We were very good friends.
He's like, like, very good friends.
He wished his wife well.
Like, you know, or I guess girlfriend, just lane max.
They weren't married.
I don't think.
Madam.
And it's Ghelane.
Ghelane.
Ghelane.
I don't know.
No, no, no.
Finish your thought.
It's just like, I don't know.
It's like when you were in high school, like trying to hide like, you know, like the water pipe, you know, from your parents or whatever.
And they were like, hey, they were like, hey, we got to like go clean out like your closet and stuff.
Like, you know, and you're like, oh, yeah, like, we should, we should do that right now.
We should do that right now.
Like, we'll go through it before I've had a chance to reshuffle anything.
Have you seen Boogie Knights?
Yeah.
I would really like to theoretically be William H. Macy, and what I'm walking in on is all of these people.
Okay.
I'm trying to be oblique.
Back in 2023, before he became the FBI director, Cash Patel suggested that the list wasn't being released because of all the big names that were on it.
You know, it's the same thing with Epstein's list.
It's like, what the hell are these Republicans doing?
Oh, I saw you make news this morning about that.
I got to get to that.
You say that the FBI has Epstein's list.
They're sitting on it.
That doesn't seem like something you should do.
You're protecting the world's foremost predator.
That seems like an evil thing to do, regardless of who may be embarrassed in the release of that list.
Why is the FBI protecting the greatest pederist, the largest scale pederist in human history?
Simple, because of who's on that list.
Dude, it's like we keep sending someone to the door to like investigate and they just keep joining the party.
They're just like, well, while I'm here, there's music and dance.
It's kind of cool.
Okay, send in another investigator.
Yeah, you're all fucking brave until you get to sit down, huh?
On Dan Bongino's podcast, less than a year before he became the deputy FBI director, he implied that the Epstein list was a big deal.
Another guy I'd love to William H. Macy.
Folks, the Epstein client list is a huge deal because it speaks to an enormous problem we have in this country.
It is that there is a connected class of insiders that feel that they can get away with anything because they can.
The Epstein client list, I believe, based on what I've heard from sources and the story I just told you, basically, is going to rock the political world.
There's a reason they're hiding it.
There's a reason they're hiding it.
These people just all wanted an invite.
They just wanted to be invited.
And now all these people are like at the highest positions of the Department of Justice.
And the official stance from all of them, technically, is that there was never an Epstein client list.
Yeah, now they're all doing the like theater piece where it's like, oh, I'm so conflicted about my job.
Oh, I keep clucking in at the genocide pedophile factory.
And today I realize that maybe what we're doing isn't so good.
And when Trump was asked about the issue during a cabinet meeting, he waved it away as a non-issue.
Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?
This guy's been talked about for years.
You're asking, we have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things.
And are people still talking about this guy, this creep?
That is unbelievable.
Do you want to waste the time?
Do you feel like answering?
I don't mind answering.
I mean, I can't believe you're asking a question on Epstein at a time like this where we're having some of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened in Texas.
It just seems like a desecration, but you go ahead.
Yeah, why don't you send in like another fucking paramilitary arm into a city to do like fascist sweeps, fucking clown.
Oh, you're still talking about this?
Yeah, we are.
Yes, people fucking still think about that and go, my God, there's a crack in the world.
Something is deeply wrong.
Yeah, we still think about it.
You fucking idiot.
See, at the very least, like Democrats are smarter than to like give specific promises like this.
Like all of these guys for years and years and years are like, the clientless, the clientless, we're going to get this.
Like this has to be let out.
And against all odds, somehow ended up in the position to do that.
This was supposed to be the one good thing that came out of having all of these idiots, unconcerned for their own safety, get into these positions, is that maybe, maybe out of pure spite, you know, they were finally going to release some of these documents, you know, so that the public could have some kind of clarity on just how many people were truly involved with this sex trafficking ring.
It's a no-brainer.
Like the deal they get is just like, they talk a big game, they access power, they get set down, they get told, okay, on one side, we could find and kill everyone you've ever loved.
On the other side, we'll help you be powerful.
It's like, it's a no-brainer.
It's a fucking no-brainer.
It's just so right there in front of us.
It's so fucking outrageous.
What kind of room do you think?
Do you think it's kind of like the office?
It's like, I don't know, like cheap fluorescent lighting above with like a, I don't know, a espresso machine and like a little basket with some creamers and stuff in it.
Or do you think it's like kind of in a vault or an interrogation room?
Bro, it's a fucking Chipotle.
That's where we're at.
Someone's sitting across from you.
They have the shitty burrito bowl or whatever the fuck.
And they're like, hey, man, I'm going to be straight with you.
You have a choice to make.
There's also some interesting claims.
So Michael Wolf reporter, he has some credibility issues.
He's kind of gossipy.
He sometimes believes in like wider narratives.
So I wouldn't take everything he says on face value, but he did report that Trump was so rattled by Ghinlaine Maxwell's conviction that he considered pardoning her.
Honestly, if you're a QAnon person, you've been talking so much shit for so many years, right?
Oh, we kill pedophiles.
Pedophiles get the rope.
Oh, if you don't care about this, like you're a pedophile.
Okay, buddy.
There was a moment which I reported on at the end of the last administration when he became very wary about the arrest of Ghelane Maxwell and asked whether or not, what could she say?
What would she say?
And should he pardon her?
Fucking page six head ass.
Fuck, man.
This is all we have.
Yeah, yeah, it's not the best.
But I think it is interesting.
He was also the guy who released the tape of Epstein saying that Trump was his best friend, Epstein.
So, you know, he has access to some very private conversations.
If I could fucking time travel, I'd go back to Tom Arnold's house and I would like pull a gun on him and force him to actually tell us the truth.
Yeah.
He fucking said like Epstein, Tarmac, I don't know what.
Like he's going to get arrested.
Trump's going to get revealed.
All this shit.
Come on, Tom.
Oh, I don't know.
I don't know if he's somebody that we should be threatening.
What do you mean?
He's out of his mind.
I don't think he could make a sandwich.
Well, he'll spare me.
So, Tom, if you're not.
Yeah, you defended him.
That's nice.
Kill Travis and Julian.
Yeah.
Now, what about that video footage?
I mean, was that convincing?
Did that mollify anyone?
Well, not really.
I heard a lot of people say, like, wait, wait, weren't we previously told that like the videos outside of Epstein's prison weren't working and that's why it wasn't released before?
You're changing the fucking story.
Yes, they are.
Also, if you're going to do the cover-up, metadata exists.
How many times do we have to do this?
Well, hold on, hold on.
So the video footage that they released was from like a different camera, not the one that was supposed to be like outside of the actual cell door of Epstein's cell.
In fact, the footage released today was referenced in the 2023 Inspector General report about Epstein's death.
Recorded video evidence for August 9th and 10th for the SHU area where Epstein was housed was only available from one prison security camera due to a malfunction of MCC New York's digital video recorder system that occurred on July 29th, 2019.
While the prison's cameras continued to provide live video feeds, recordings were made for only about half the cameras.
MCC New York personnel discovered this failure on August 8th, 2019, but it was not repaired until after Epstein's death.
As detailed in this report, like many other BOP facilities, MCC New York had a history of security camera problems.
The available recorded video footage from one SHU camera captured a large part of the common area of the SHU and portions of the stairways leading to different SHU tiers, including Epstein's cell tier.
Thus, anyone entering or attempting to enter Epstein's SHU tier from the SHU common area would have been picked up by that video camera.
Bro, it's been years.
It's been years.
Like, look at this.
Look at the way they're putting it.
Discovered.
Oh, they discovered this failure?
It was 2019.
Oh, suddenly it's worth revealing to the public that you discovered this failure.
Come on, make a fucking effort.
You're treating us like we're really stupid.
This is insulting.
After that video was released, members of the public and pressed observed that, like, at one point, the video jumped forward and like cut out like 60 seconds.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said that this was because of the outdated recording system and apparently resets every day at midnight and at the same minute is skipped every evening.
So they're blaming that on a technical issue.
Bondi was also asked about Epstein's alleged intelligence connections during a press conference, and here's what she said.
To him being an agent, I have no knowledge about that.
We can get back to you on that.
And the minute missing from the video, we released the video showing definitively the video was not conclusive, but the evidence prior to it was showing he committed suicide.
And what was on that There was a minute that was off the counter.
And what we learned from Bureau of Prisons was every year, every night, they redo that video.
It's old from like 1999.
So every night the video is reset and every night should have the same minute missing.
So we're looking for that video to release that as well, showing that a minute is missing every night.
And that's it on Epstein.
That's it.
She's like trying to remember like what the guy in Chipotle told her like was the reason to tell the press people.
Two fucking things here.
It's like if your job was to like figure something out and circle back and it took you six years.
Six years.
Oh yeah.
Oh, finally going to check that camera.
Six years.
And the second thing is agent?
Bro, no one brought that up.
No.
Weird that you would even mention it.
Well, I think that might be like a shitcoat too, kind of like exaggerating what's being accused, what he's being accused of.
At least name like the fucking three-letter agency that you're pretending that you're like, that you're debunking by bringing up when probably no one even mentioned it.
Because it's so obvious.
Stranger than that, despite the fact that the DOJ claimed that this was raw footage that they released, that wound up not being accurate.
Wired published a report citing video forensics experts who said that it was actually modified, probably with Adobe Premiere Pro, but they cautioned on reading too much into the significance of that.
So this is from that report.
The file appears to have been assembled from at least two source clips, saved multiple times, exported, and then uploaded to the DOJ's website where it was presented as quote-unquote raw footage.
Experts cautioned that it's unclear what exactly was changed.
Shut the fuck up.
The fucking press is so complicit, man.
All these articles drive me insane.
And that the metadata does not prove deceptive manipulation.
The video may have simply been processed for public release using available software with no modifications beyond stitching together two clips.
But the absence of a clear explanation for the processing of the file using professional editing software complicates the Justice Department's narrative.
Well, yeah, when you say it's raw footage and it's not, that does complicate what you said.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This article, I mean, they should be ashamed.
But it is very comical to think of like the like high-level like Mossad like pedophile wrangler.
He's on his PC and he has like he opens like the crack, like the crack EXE for like Adobe and it's like playing like chiptune.
Okay, time to get rid of this minute.
Now, Julie K. Brown also pointed out another issue with this video.
So the video shows these two prison door cells next to a railing and a common area on the lower floor beyond the railing.
But those two doors aren't Epstein's cell doors.
The video is supposed to show that no one entered like the common area below, which actually takes up a very small part of the video area, which the DOJ says someone would like would have to enter if they got to Epstein's cell.
As Julie K. Brown explained on MSNBC, that makes the video misleading, even if it's legitimate and unmodified.
I'd like to also point out with this video that they released in the prison.
Sorry to change gears, but it's disturbing to me, that video, because it implies by showing those two prison doors, those cell doors, that that's Epstein's cells.
Those aren't his cells.
What is going on below, they're showing people walking back and forth to an area that you can't see on the video.
So they're implying that nobody went into his cell, but you can't see his cell on this video.
So this is all part of what has been done is they say, look here, this shows X, Y, and Z. And people who aren't as familiar with the facts of the case would look at that and say, yeah, nobody's going in and out of those two Cells, but really, those aren't his cells.
I mean, that's part of the problem with this whole case.
They keep putting information out there that just isn't accurate or it's misleading.
It's like a Russian nesting doll of like limited hangouts, like to the point where it's now just absurd, like it's just funny.
Well, yeah, I was like, I really am baffled that they went with that, like, whatever, it's over, there's nothing else to explore.
Roque's closed, goodbye, stop thinking about it.
I thought, you know, when they did the like the bullshit kind of like Epstein files, you know, phase one thing, when they invited all those MAGA influencers to the White House and handed them the binders, I thought they were basically going to do variations of that for the next four years.
String people along, maybe, uh, yeah, maybe, maybe release like a little bit of like classified material that's like, you know, that's not very explosive.
And I think they could like feed people like little bits and bites for for the entire administration.
Instead, just months after they got elected, they kind of like blew their wad and said, nope, nothing here.
Don't think about it.
I was like, that's, that's, I don't know.
It's a strange, just strange media strategy.
Those influencers were like, that was like a humiliation ritual.
Like they basically, they, they walked into the White House.
The White House put a big dunce cap on their head and said, great, you are a certified dumbass.
Now walk out and be proud.
And they all did.
They all did.
They all lockstepped for documents that were fucking the ones we already have in PDF on the internet, but with more black boxes.
Yeah, they actually contained less information than was public, which is just pretty absurd.
This is just unbelievable.
This isn't even like Fell for It Again.
Like this isn't even Fail for It Again.
Like these people, they're too dumb to live.
Like, how do you even crap and wipe your ass?
This is just, it's, you couldn't write it any better.
Like, is, is the world so dumb that these three idiots, Pam Bondi, Dan Bongino, and Cash Patel, got into the, you know, got into these high, high positions in the FBI and the Justice Department.
And they were like, yes, like, we're going to blow the lid off this.
And they get the docs and Trump is in so much of it that they all have to go like, ooh, like, or not even Trump, like anybody, anybody that's involved, you know, that's on their side that's been a hero, you know, that they consider a hero or have held up as a hero.
Hey, listen, pal, either we kill your whole fucking family, including people like you had forgotten even existed, but we have their addresses and there's a gun, like a gun right outside the house.
Either you do that, or you can do like a kind of piece of theater where you pretend that you're morally outraged that we covered it up again.
That'll be your out.
You can go back to doing whatever Bongino does, like a fucking making 800 times more money than us, being the dumbest man alive.
And of course, it's like, it's so, it's like golden parachute shit, you know?
But like, why didn't they have like a schoolboy Q, you know, who came into J. Cole and said, hey, dude, you're thinking about getting into the beef with Kendrick.
Don't do it.
It's all about Drake.
Like, you don't want to do this, man.
Like, he doesn't, he doesn't have anything against you.
But if you step in and become a part of this, it's not going to be good.
Like, why was there nobody like the moment Cash Patel or Dan Bongino stepped foot into that office that pulled him aside and was like, oh, hey, by the way, like all the all the Epstein stuff that like you guys have been talking about, like that's a, that's a dead, dead, dead thing.
We'll kill everybody in your family, but like don't even bring it up.
Like the fact that they walk, somebody let them walk all of this stuff out.
The only thing that I can sort of, you know, that it makes me think is that the whole system is so much dumber and stupider and more disjointed that none of these departments are actually talking to each other.
And you can get a PR disaster like this fucking rolling full speed downhill before everybody realizes, oh, we can't release any of this stuff.
Like everything we said is fucking bullshit.
We're going to have to walk it back.
We're going to have to cover it up.
Like, I don't know.
Like, how, it just, that's all I can think is that, is that it's just, it's stupider and less connected.
And, and they don't talk to each other as much as they claim that they do.
I don't know.
And Bongino got a weird case.
Why is he around?
Certified lover boy, certified pedophiles.
Whop, wop, wop, wop.
Whop, wop, wop, wop.
Pam Bondi's a pedophile.
Trump is a fucking pedophile.
It's fair to say that, like, lots and lots of MAGA people are displeased with that.
I've like I've never seen a MAGA revolt quite like this.
Zero sympathy.
And like fucking hit your head on the door walking out.
Like fuck you.
Alex Jones recorded a car video to express his disappointment, acting weepy and claiming that Trump is now part of the cover-up.
Down by coming in and being part of the cover-up, the Trump administration has become part of it.
I mean, it just, you cannot see it any other way.
So I'm going to, I just got to the office.
I'm going to go throw up, actually.
And this only happens every few years when something really, really bad happens or something.
I mean, I'm physically going to puke probably right now.
My mouth is watering right now.
Because I have integrity.
No, you don't.
I just really need the Trump administration to succeed and to save this country.
And they're doing so much good.
And then for them to do something like this tears my guts out.
You either die young trying to expose the deep state or grow old and become an obese pedophile on Ozempic.
Or you become Alex Jones, who's starting to look more and more like a baby every day.
Yeah, just go stand in front of your fridge again, buddy.
He's a big, beautiful baby.
I have integrity.
Holy fuck.
Oh, my lord.
MAGA influencer Laura Loomer and other Trump allies launched the hashtag Fire Bondi.
They're trying to say it's like Bondi's fault, not like Trump, you know?
Okay.
Yeah, the buck stops with her, not Trump.
Damn, the client list got loomered.
Owned.
Stupid lips.
Now, a few days after this memo was released was the start of the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa Bay, Florida.
This is a conference to train the next generation of conservative activists.
And one of the students there told Steve Bannon that he believed that Trump was protecting pedophiles.
I think everyone at TP USA should be wearing like matching Nikes.
You know what I'm saying?
In 2016, we trusted the plan with Trump.
But now Trump has become the deep state.
The exact thing he we voted him in.
Why do you say he's become the deep state?
What is more deep state than covering up for pedophiles?
Wow.
Pick it.
Pick one.
He's either the storm or The deep state.
You can't have both.
The Great Awakening.
Elon Musk, who previously claimed that Trump was on the Epstein list in the post he then deleted and then like apologized for, went back to accusing Trump because he also got on the pylon, basically accusing him of covering up for Epstein.
Benny Johnson, who's normally a reliable booster of the Trump administration, was outright distraught by how this was handled.
Yeah, all the like closet gay failed actors are like, oh, oh my.
Something is horribly wrong here.
For months, we heard that the Epstein list was sitting on the desk of officials like Pam Bondi, that there was mountains of evidence, truckloads of evidence, in fact, that had been brought into the DOJ.
They don't understand what time it is.
They thought that they could just like brush this under the rug and that people don't care.
People do care.
We care if our nation is run by a predator cult.
That's important to know.
And are those predators given free passes?
Epstein certainly was.
And so it's wild.
It is blowing up.
It is a nightmare, truly.
And I'm a massive fan of the Trump administration.
A lot of these people are my friends.
This one was wrong.
They got this wrong.
It's not that you got it wrong.
It's not you didn't, it's this wasn't like a policy thing.
And it's like, we're running.
Well, I mean, maybe in some ways it is.
They ran kind of on exposing Epstein and all of that stuff.
But guys like Benny Johnson, I feel like are in a unique position, right?
Because if he tries to defend this, he's going to lose a lot of audience, I would imagine.
They would be like, what?
You're fucking like standing up for fucking like pedophile.
Shame on you or whatever.
So in some ways, it's like the commitment to the grift.
Like in some ways, at least over Epstein, like has to keep these people honest to a certain degree, which is kind of funny when you look at it that way.
He's doing like the most soy lib thing possible.
He's doing, we see you, we hear you.
Like, bro.
They got this wrong.
This one, they got wrong.
Like, this man, like, his face is green from like secondhand pedophilia.
Like, you were sitting in like the hot box.
Like, you.
One of my favorite reactions, though, has to come from the pro-Trump pastor, Todd Coconado from a transformation church in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Come on.
Coconuto?
Coconuto.
What are we doing?
So he was really struggling with the idea that all the people that he trusts in the DOJ are corrupt.
I don't think that he wants his legacy to be that he allowed one of the biggest stories in our generation to just go away.
I don't think, I mean, from everything that we've seen, either the man is a complete liar, which I just can't imagine that being the case.
Imagine it.
You know, Dan Montgino, Cash Patel, Pam Bondi.
I mean, we'll go down the list.
Would every one of them sell their soul?
People say for money.
They do it for money.
They do it for power.
They were just lying.
All of them, all of them were doing that.
So you're telling me that not one of them has a conscience?
Not one of them would say, hey, you know what?
I can't be involved in this.
So I'm going to step down from this position.
So they save their reputation and their integrity.
You're telling me that none of this group, Caroline Levitt, who is literally a strong believer, okay, you're telling me that all these people, okay, all of them are willing to sell their soul for power and none of them, none of them are going to step down.
They're just going to be in lockstep with President Trump to just gaslight the whole MAGA movement.
It's like you're sitting at the table in downfall and you're looking at all the people and you're like, wait, you're telling me these are all bad guys?
Yeah, dumbass.
Yes, that's what we're fucking telling you.
Aren't you the party of like, oh, we say it how it is?
Wait a minute.
You need a fucking safe space?
Wait a minute.
You're telling us that we're all going to have to kill ourselves like tomorrow?
What are you telling me like Dan Monte Carlo's not going to come in and save us?
It's like, oh, wow, I've never seen a moment in history where a bunch of people sitting at the center of consolidated power in the most evil fucking empire of the last hundred years that have committed so many genocides so that we will never have a chance at building a communal project.
You're telling me these people are all bad?
Yes, dumbass.
Yes, you fucking idiot.
Trump is even getting pushed back on his own social media platform, Truth Social.
Under several of Trump's recent posts, users are posting the word Epstein just dozens of times.
We fucking DDOS these pedos, man.
Damn, we really fucking showed them what's up, man.
They can't just lie to us.
Like, we will post.
Like, we will type out Epstein.
Dude, Trump ended up being the soyest president of all.
He's on here being like, I'm talking about the tariffs.
He's like, we're entering into tariff negotiation.
And everybody under the comments like, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, he won't even, oh, Epstein, you're still talking about that guy.
Like, literally, the most dis if I'm putting myself in the shoes of a MAGA loyalist or even a, you know, kind of regular conservative that isn't a Democrat, like, this has got to be like so disappointing.
Hey, you fucking losers.
You thought you didn't have a soy president?
The guy who fucking like reviewed the vanity fair parties and like loved cats.
Oh, it turned out he's a soy motherfucker.
Oh, wow.
It's like he's integrated into power.
It's like, oh, all these people are pedos.
You know what they deserve?
Every single one of these MAGA guys, they should be put in like a fucking storage container and we should play Hamilton on loop to them.
That's what they deserve.
Hamilton and West Wing.
West Wing is too entertaining.
Can't believe the guy who got into a multi-year feud with Bette Midler would be so soy.
I forgot that.
It's so fucking funny.
They literally were like, this guy is fucking cool.
Like he is masculinity.
And the guy is like a fucking degenerate queen that like people didn't even invite to parties anymore because he's so annoying.
It's so funny that like for the last eight years, well, for the last six, well, for the last fuck.
Fuck, 12 years.
1 million years.
Yeah, for the last 1 million years.
Since the ice age.
Like since the ice age.
Before the dinosaurs.
But we have like, we've had these two president.
We've had these two presidents that like everybody is like lying to themselves and being like, no, he glasses, ice cream.
He pulls up in the Ferrari or he's a strong man.
He's got the glinting muscles.
Like he's riding a lion.
But that, like, event, like, they're so old when they're trying to like meme them as powerful people already that, like, they start to deteriorate, like, while the memes are still popular.
You know what I mean?
We will look back at this point in history and correctly identify that everybody involved on all sides of politics that care about like, I don't know, the American nation or whatever were so fucking gone.
Like, they were insane.
It will be so clear looking back.
It will be so clear.
It's like the end days of like the most fucking evil cabal of shitheads ever to grace this fucking earth in our modern fucking era.
Fuck, you're all such rubes, dude.
I know that I'm, I'm not American.
I get it.
It probably feels, it probably feels bad to have like some Swiss guy, a guy whose country like stored the fucking Jewish teeth for the Nazis.
Like, I get it.
Like, I am not talking from like a position of power here, but you are all the dumbest motherfuckers in the last hundred years.
Get a fucking grip.
Also on TrueSocial, Trump responded to this MAGA revolt with an especially unhinged post.
He posted this a couple hours before we started recording.
It's crazy.
I think most of the post is worth considering, but we're going to take it in chunks.
So here's how it opens.
They're all going after Attorney General Pembundi, who is doing a fantastic job.
We're on one team, MAGA, and I don't like what's happening.
We have the perfect administration, the talk of the world, and selfish people are trying to hurt it.
All over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein.
Bro!
My God!
All over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein.
For years, it's Epstein over and over again.
Why are we giving publicity to files written by Obama?
Crooked Hillary, Gomey, Brennan, and the losers and criminals of the Biden administration who gone the world with the Russia-Russia-Russia hooks.
51 intelligence agents, the laptop from L, and more.
They created the Epstein files just like they created it?
They created it.
Wow.
It's a fucking misnomer.
Like, you really fucking think that the child rapists are fucking like swiping their credit cards?
Oh, yeah.
They all, they all just, they just, there's just a book.
Just like they created the fake Hillary Clinton, Christopher Steele, dossier, and they used it on me.
And now my so-called quote-unquote friends are playing right into their hands.
I mean, this is a new move all of a sudden.
It's like, no, it's like Obama and Biden administrations, they created, and Hillary Clinton, they created the Epstein files, presumably to smear Trump.
What the fuck is he talking about?
This is a stretch, even for him.
Why are you trolling like a bitch?
Ain't you tired?
Trying to strike a cord and it's probably a minor.
Then Trump went into this defense I've heard from a lot of like pro-Trump people, which is to imply that like since Democrats didn't release incriminating information from the Epstein files, that means that there's no incriminating information against Trump in there.
So here's what he wrote.
Why didn't these radical left lunatics release the Epstein files?
If there was anything in there that could have hurt the MAGA movement, why didn't they use it?
They haven't given up on the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King Jr. files.
What do you mean, give it up?
Like, he's, he's, this is a real crash out.
True, true.
It's like, it's like we're being fucking lectured by Satan.
Like, bro.
I mean, it's like, I have to imagine, if you're a MAGA guy, you're confused.
It's like, no, I thought they like, I didn't think, you know, the Democrats would release it because it incriminates all of them, but I assume you would release it, Trump, because it would really, for the same reason, because it incriminates them.
Yeah, they're like, why would the Democrats create the Epstein?
Why would they create Epstein if it was the thing that was going to get them all hung?
Yeah, exactly.
He is sort of like really stomping all over a big part of MAGA's messaging for the past, I guess, like eight, 10 years or whatever.
And the thing that they care most about.
You're all satanic pedophiles.
The Democrats, the Republicans, you're all exactly what QAnon thought about somehow all the wrong people.
You guys voted.
You guys voted for this.
Yeah.
Oh, you straight up voted.
You voted for the pedophiles.
You voted for pedophile Satan.
And I get it because the other guy was like, oh, do I vote for like Husk or pedophile Satan?
Like, it's tough.
Trump was so close to Husk, though.
He was so close to Husk.
No, he's got so much vital energy.
Not like enough energy to do the pedophilic rapes that he used to do, but he's still got it, you know, just typing all caps, fucking melting down about like Broadway shows.
Trump concludes this post by encouraging people to move on.
The left is imploding.
Gash Patel and the FBI must be focused on investigating voter fraud, political corruption, Act Blue, the rigged and stolen election of 2020, and arresting thugs and criminals instead of spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old radical left-inspired documents on Jeffrey Epstein.
Let Pam Bondi do her job.
She's great.
The 2020 election was rigged and stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in 2024.
And that's what she's looking into as AG and much more.
One year ago, our country was dead.
Now it's the hottest country in the world.
Let's keep it that way and not waste time and energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
I don't think Democrats have ever said anything like this disappointing.
They've done things that are more disappointing than this, but in terms of like public messaging, I don't think there's ever been quite so big a fuck you to your audience as this.
I don't know, man.
They live there.
They get their mail there.
Yeah.
No, this is, this is like, it's like all of them, it's like, he's repeatedly said he was open to like releasing the Epstein files.
All right.
But then like, this is something that he must know riles up this base.
And then they said, like, oh, this is something nobody cares about.
Doesn't matter.
And also, it's an Obama trick, the fact that anyone cares about.
In fact, the Epstein files were created by Hillary Clifton herself.
I was like, what the fuck?
Like, I think I believe in string theory, but like, I think inso much as we broke off from all the other dimensions and became A Ralph Stedman drawing.
Like, it's impossible to really grasp how grotesque this is.
Like, it's so demeaning.
Like, it's so insulting.
But the thing is that I think that Trump just kind of like assumed that, like, this is the cycle of like elections in power.
You promise things and then people believe you're going to do things and then you just tell them that you're not.
That's, or you just ignore it.
Like, for example, the first time that Trump got elected, he, like, a big part of his platform was lock her up.
He was going to lock Hillary Clinton up.
And then a lot of people believed that he was going to actually do that.
And then he just didn't do it because, like, obviously, that was just something he said to get elected.
He didn't fucking believe it.
He didn't give a shit.
He doesn't get, he doesn't care whether or not Hillary Clinton is actually arrested.
And he moved on.
And then like the MAGA base in his experience, like the MAGA base guy, also kind of forgot about it.
So he figured maybe this will be the same thing.
He's like, okay, maybe you all believed that like I would release the Epstein files, but I'm just going to like say, shut the fuck up, move on.
I'm not really going to do that.
And he kind of like expects MAGA people to move on like they moved on from Hillary Clinton not being arrested, but I don't know.
I think he may have made a miscalculation in this case.
Well, technically, Travis, actually, when he didn't do anything about Hillary Clinton, that's kind of what QAnon was invented on, was the fact that because Trump wasn't doing anything, you know, like they needed this sort of like alternate story as to why.
So actually, MAGA didn't move on in a lot of ways.
I mean, now I think probably they have, especially as, you know, we've talked about ad nauseum, how QAnon has just sort of been absorbed into the muck.
I suppose, yeah, the most deranged conspiratorial online elements of MAGA, I suppose they kept the faith and that's why they kind of disassociated in the form of QAnon.
Sure.
All of this because he never got an invite to Studio 54.
Like the fucking moment in history in the 80s where Trump was kind of qualified as an annoying guy that maybe you just don't want at the party, that is the equivalent to the art school turning down Hitler.
Like we didn't know what we were doing.
We should have let him fucking hang out.
The problem with him is he's not chill.
He never wanted to fucking do the blow.
He's like, why don't I get invited into the bathroom stall?
Well, dude, it's because they're doing fun drugs and you are terrified of them because your brother was an alcoholic who, I can't remember, did he crash a plane?
Like, what did his dumbass brother do?
I mean, definitely died from like severe alcoholism.
I mean, I relate, but I do think like there's a moment in the 80s that is equivalent to the art school refusal.
Truth Social users who responded to this post were not happy with it.
Here are a few ways that they responded.
Why did he kill himself?
Why is Ghelaine Maxwell still in prison?
With all due respect, release everything with nothing left out other than the minor victims' names.
Every pedophile needs to be held accountable, castrated, and in prison.
We were promised on day one.
I support you and always have, but this is not going away until files are released.
Mr. President, we were promised everything was going to get exposed and the deep state thugs were going to get exposed.
I love when they do the Mr. President routine.
Mr. Mr. President, but you said, you said that you would do the thing and you're not doing it.
These are the civilians like lining up at the end of Fable 3.
I haven't played it, but I'm sure that's a good reference.
Dude, it's like so, it's so funny.
It's like, I was told that I could slip a piece of paper into the comment box.
I was told that my feedback was going to be taken into account.
You are a fucking moron.
You have fallen for the most obvious con in history.
Dumbass.
A third truth social user writes, more gaslighting.
I thought you were above this.
You'll never hear the end of this if you do not instruct the complete release of the names of those in power in both DC and Hollywood who raped children.
Don't become part of the swamp that you fought so hard to defeat.
Uh hi, my name is Curtis Jackson, and you are gaslighting me?
You are a narcissist and this is toxic?
Fuck you.
Now, there are some who are still holding the faith.
Roger Stone tried to absolve Cash Patel and the Trump administration by claiming, without offering any evidence, that all of the evidence that could have possibly been used to compile a list of people who were involved in Epstein's activity was destroyed by the previous administration.
Oh my God, dude.
I really wish that like fentanyl existed when Roger Stone was like doing so much below.
I like and respect Cash Patel, and he's telling you the truth.
They don't have any proof because Christopher Wray and the previous administration destroyed all the truth.
We know because we can see with our eyes that they removed hard drives and DVDs from Epstein's apartment in New York, from his island, from his ranch in New Mexico, from his apartment in Paris.
And the question is a simple one.
I never thought there was a list per se, but I think a list could have been compiled on the basis of those videos contained in the DVDs and the hard drives.
So what happened to them?
When Cash Patel says we don't have them, he's telling the truth because they were destroyed by the previous administration.
Thank you, Jimmy Saville, with less fucking charisma.
Thank you for your contribution.
Really interesting.
I mean, this is all, this is obviously bullshit, but it's like, oh, it's like, if you really believe that, okay, then why don't you like prosecute the people who destroyed the evidence of this massive scandal?
And there's like, that's still a crime you could pursue if you can prove it.
It's a, it's a pretty weak sauce.
Bro, like Roger Stone, like, listen, I'm sex positive.
I encourage perverts.
They're great.
This guy needs to be put in jail.
This guy is the wrong type of sex guy.
And listening to him, the fact that we still have to listen to him, like, bro, you're like Pinocchio if Pinocchio were a pedophile.
You were put together to be grotesque.
I checked in on how the QAnon community was handling it.
And, you know, like, like Jake Beshin, this community basically was formed because Trump wasn't fulfilling all the promises of his campaign, specifically about like, you know, draining the swamp and arresting Hillary Clinton and all that stuff.
So yeah, of course, they're still trusting the plan.
It's so funny in retrospect to see QAnon as like cope because the guy they liked was a pedophile and they just couldn't accept it.
Really sad, dude.
Jordan Sather said this.
Without Trump, 95% of us wouldn't know who Jeffrey Epstein is, and he never would have been arrested in the first place.
So I'm willing to give some grace to see how this all plays out.
Chess, not checkers.
Bro, yeah, without Trump, we wouldn't have photos of Jeffrey Epstein.
Are you fucking dumb?
I mean, he is.
Yeah.
This is truly pathetic.
Perhaps the most infuriating response, at least for me, of QAnon, is that they imply that all of this is a ploy to get more people interested in the Epstein case.
I don't understand this response.
Why more chatter?
Why more response?
Why more posting?
Don't you want to see action?
Don't you want to see something actually substantive beyond awareness?
Fucking Kony 2012.
You are all soy lib Kony 2012 fucking.
I hate you.
X-22 report said this.
The Epstein files are far from over.
Trump has more people than ever talking about it.
No, he doesn't.
He literally said, like, are you still talking about this?
If any of this was remotely true, Trump would be like, I suppose a lot of people are talking about it.
That's good.
We want people talking.
Like, it just...
Oh, hey, I am raising awareness about pedophilia by having sex with children.
They're getting...
Yeah, they're just...
Oh, thank you so much.
Wow.
You are really good as a person.
They continue, There are over 275,000 posts involving Epstein in the past week.
Do you see it?
Now would be a perfect time for QAnon to come back, by the way, to again rescue the image of the president who proves more and more and more that he is part of the deep state, that he refuses to shed light on Jeffrey Epstein's infamous clients, and just about everything else he promised.
It's like X-22 sounding a lot like the killer in Manhunt, or Manhunter, you know?
He's like, do you see?
Do you see?
No, he's just doing, like, boring fascism.
You know, boring fascism.
It's not even dressed in, like, the fun Tom Clancy stuff anymore.
Like, he's completely ignoring...
Yeah, there's no more carrot.
There's no more carrot.
Yeah, there's nothing.
It's just the stick.
Yeah, now that he's...
My lord.
Yeah, now that he's in there, now that he got in, he's not gonna do jack shit.
He's not gonna do jack shit for the people who got him there, which I believe are the crypto bros and, you know, the lingering QAnon adherents.
Like, Trump wouldn't flick a Cheeto in the direction of these guys if they were starving at the side of the street.
He hates you.
He thinks you are nothing.
The situation is reportedly causing strife at the DOJ.
Oh, my God.
Washington Post sources say Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Cash Patel, and Deputy Director Dan Bongino had all signed off on the two-page memo.
But once pro-Trump pundits revolted, Bongino began trying to distance himself, prompting a blame game.
Axios first reported that Bongino and Bondi had a heated face-to-face meeting, which another report described as a screaming match, in which Bongino accused Bondi of over-promising disclosures.
Bongino reportedly took a day off after this meeting.
Sources told CNN that Bongino was even considering resigning over the issue.
You know what?
Here's the thing.
I was like, I know that, like, these fucking, these, like, insider leaks to these reports, these outlets, obviously, like, narrative shaping.
Yeah, it's bullshit.
Yeah.
It is bullshit.
I think it might be true, but not because, like, Bongino is morally outraged, but because it hurt his brand.
Oh, for sure.
It's like, he kind of envisioned, like, okay, here's a way to boost his media career.
He's going to, after, after he's done with this, he's going to go back to podcasting, having even more credibility and a bigger audience and, like, you know, do wing on his mansion.
He's going to do great.
But it's like, if he's, like, saddled with, like, being the guy who helped cover up for Epstein, then that's going to be harder sell once he gets back into being a media pundit.
Damn, I signed up to do PR for the evil pedophile empire, and now it's, like, not cool.
Wow.
Wait, is this the end?
Yeah, yeah.
So this is.
Oh, my God, this episode.
Yeah, that's it.
That's the end.
That's it.
That's it.
It just stops.
It just ends.
Yep, that's it.
Like, it just goes silent.
Just like life.
Yeah, just like my soul.
We need another Mohammed Atta.
We need to fly planes into these motherfuckers.
Oh, my Lord.
Somebody come get this guy.
I know, right?
I mean, we'll see.
You know, it might be the case that, like, the MAGA people will, like, come back into the fold eventually because they have nowhere else to go.
But they seem pretty riled up and it's pretty widespread.
So this may be the thing that, like, fractures Trump's base pretty significantly.
We'll see.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, if he doesn't find some way to write this or at the very least, like, come up with a good distraction, another QAnon run, most likely.
I really can't see him recovering from this.
This is, like, kind of the main thing that people are talking about is that Trump is fighting the deep state and he's visibly not.
He's actually visibly covering up for them to the point where even his most loyal pundits, like, know that their audience isn't stupid enough that they can sell this to them the way that the administration is trying to sell this to the American people.
Like, the guys who fucking make money creating content over this know that their audience isn't as stupid as their own fucking government, you know, who they put in power believes that they are.
It's fantastically dumb and infuriating.
I think people will sit down and they will eat the slop that they are fucking given.
They are Olympic champions in cognitive dissonance at this point.
That is the only muscle that is being exercised anymore.
yeah i actually don't think this will end anything because nothing ever started you can't end something that never occurred all of this is a dream all right so i mean unfortunately julian has left this because he's entered his dream space i'm like i'm like that really annoying Zelda game where at the end it's like oh I woke up then why did I have to fucking fight those bosses thanks for listening to another episode of the QAA podcast you can go to patreon.com

Guys, have you ever stopped and thought for one moment by them saying there is no list?
Is it possible that they're making all these people think they got by Scott-free so that they can set them up for the great fall?
Trust the president.
I mean, my God, this is the man that God saved his life one year ago from a bullet.
Don't you think God appointed him in?
Then leave him alone.
Some of y'all act like you're so smart because you listen to a few podcasters.
And the only problem is them podcasters have lied to you so many times, you're addicted to their lies.
Just quit.
Donald Trump is the American president.
You voted for him.
You did.
