Full transcript with timestamps

0:00 Donald Trump is panicking. He is flailing as he has been hit in the face by instant karma. You now have former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton saying, "You know what? You want us to testify about the Epstein files? We'll do it. Let's do it in public." So, hey, Donald, why don't you testify in public as well? We're not afraid. We want to do it in front of the world live on TV. So, Donald Trump held this disastrous exclusive um interview with NBC and Donald Trump then starts praising former President Bill Clinton and he's like, "You know what? I really like Bill Clinton now and I'm really upset that they're going to make him testify and you know, I think that he really understands who I am." Watch this here.

0:53 Play this clip. It bothers me that somebody's going after Bill Clinton. See, I like Bill Clinton. I still like Bill Clint.

1:00 What do you like about him? Uh, I like Well, I liked his behavior toward me. I thought he got me. He understood me.

1:08 Really, Donald? And then Donald Trump uh responds to this next question. Well, Democrats are saying that if former President Clinton testifies, you should testify, too. Watch Donald Trump's response.

1:20 It is a shame. NBC News broke the story today. I don't know if you saw it that the Democrats are already saying if you bring President Bill Clinton and he has to testify we're bringing President Trump. What do you say to that? I

1:30 I think they might say that, you know, but they've already brought me. See, I've been brought uh they had me indicted uh many, many times. Many, many times. They didn't do that.

1:41 Do you think And it's not just Donald Trump panicking right now because what's in those Epstein files that ain't going away, Donald. And it's only a partial release of the documents. I mean, we know that there's at least three million more documents, which could equate to 25 to 50 million pages that are still missing. I saw this meme and it's true. Did you know that there are more references to Donald Trump in the Epstein Files than there are references to Harry Potter in all seven Harry Potter books? Yeah, there's over 38,000 references to Donald Trump in the Epstein files. though speaker of the house maga Mike Johnson Trump sickant is asked by Manu Raju do you think Donald Trump should have to testify under oath now and Maga Mike tried to run away here play this clip

2:32 shouldn't Trump have to answer some questions too he's been named more than a thousand times in these documents

2:36 the president submits to press inquiries every day not under oath not under oath

2:42 not under oath but he's asked the questions all the time and he answers them uh we'll see where it goes now in that interview that Donald Trump did on NBC was disastrous on a lot of fronts as well. I mean, Donald Trump was asked about his ICE and Border Patrol Gustapo murdering Americans and killing people. And Donald Trump's concern is, yeah, my big concern is it's bad press. It was bad publicity. Donald Trump's like, you killed two people and all of a sudden I'm getting bad press. Why am I getting bad bad press? You have ICE and Border Patrol Gustapo killing people. And you think about it in terms of ratings. How sick. Here, play this clip.

3:24 It's bad. I hate it. I hate even talking about it. Two people out of tens of thousands. Okay.

3:31 Mhm. And you get bad publicity. Nobody talks about all of the murderers that were taken out of our country. They don't talk about it too.

3:40 They don't talk about we have the smallest drugs. as an example, we've been very tough on the waters and soon, you know, pretty much overall, but if you look at if you look at the waters where we knock out boats

3:52 and then Donald Trump says, "But, you know, I'm getting great polls right now. Great polls. I'm bringing in $18 trillion, you know, and to the credit of the reporter, the reporter fact checks him to his face and says, "Actually, your your polls are really bad. People hate what you're doing to the economy." And Donald Trump's like, "Oh, oh, oh, really? Here, watch what goes down. Let's play this clip.

4:14 I'm getting starting to get great polls on the economy, which I think is polls on the economy aren't aren't they're not great.

4:20 They should be great. They should be. So, why aren't they if you believe that? I don't know. I don't know. I mean, look, I've got

4:27 Americans tell us, we hear this. I mean, we're going to get into the economy later, but they tell us they don't feel

4:30 just so I have $18 trillion being invested into the country. Biden had less than a trillion for four years and the whole country was going to credit. Do you know that America feel it? Do you know that if they won that election and we won in a landslide? Do you know if they won that election this country was I think it was finished. I actually think it was finished. And then Donald Trump starts bragging that he has already won the lawsuit that he has filed for $10 billion against his own against the government, which should be we the people's government, which he's essentially taken over. Uh he says that uh yeah, I won I won the lawsuit and now I'm going to pay myself $10 million. He sued the IRS because he said they leaked his tax returns like 10 years ago when every other president released their tax returns. And so he says, "Well, now I'm going to pay myself $10 billion." And the reporter's like, "You know, we have

5:28 $38 trillion in debt, so you're going to be taking money from the system in order to to pay yourself." And then Donald Trump's like, "Yeah, but I'm going to I'll give it to a charity." What are you what are you we talking? You're settling with you're stealing our taxpayer dollars. Play this clip.

5:45 Essentially, the lawsuit's been won. I guess I won a lot of money. So, Scott Besson's the head of the IRS.

5:53 Bonnie's the head of the Justice Department. They're going to defend the IRS against you. You're the

5:57 Well, there's never been anything like it in all fair. So, are you are you going to Don't forget I sued as a private citizen because I sued between terms.

6:05 I won three times. I won three times, but I didn't assume, unfortunately for this country, I didn't assume office the second time. But here's the story.

6:13 I sued because they broke into Mara Lago. That was before I became president. Now it goes along and it turned out that the suit is a very strong suit.

6:21 Um, you're going to tell them to pay you though. You're the boss. Well, I would what I would do tell them to pay me, but I'll give 100% of the money to charity. I don't want any of that money.

6:29 You take it out of the system. Um, a couple more questions here. No, no, I'm putting it back into the system. If I give money to American Cancer Society, I would I will give a hund% of the money away to check I don't want any

6:42 30 trillion dollar debt and we're going to take 10 billion out of the system. Well, I mean, you give it away anyway. They give away a lot of money.

6:48 Your endorsement. Speaking about that, Minnesota and these other states, we have massive investigations going into fraud. Yeah. Do you know if we captured 50% of the fraud of this country right now, we would have better than a balanced budget.

7:05 And you got to mention that Minnesota 19 billion dollars in fraud. And then Donald Trump brags about taking aspirin all the time. So he has uh thin blood and he he wants his blood to be nice and thin. I mean, this guy's a mad man. Here, play this clip. Taking the aspirin. Still taking the aspirin?

7:23 I do. take aspirin and uh I don't want to change, you know, I don't want to. So, you go against your doctor's orders. You do what you kind of feel.

7:30 You know, I've been taking aspirin for 30 years and I don't I don't want to change it. So, you know, they say take the smaller one. I say, "Well, the I want that blood to be nice and thin running through my heart." Now, the dominoes are falling since the release of these Epstein files. We've seen uh national security advisers like in Slovakia fall. We've seen uh L no longer really Lord Mandlesson the former UK ambassador to the United States uh Brad Karp who is the chairman the former leader of the Paul Weiss law firm remember that first law firm that capitulated to Donald Trump and entered into that settlement and people like Paul Weiss is such a prominent firm why would they capitulate to Donald Trump?

8:19 Well, it turns out that in 2019, Epstein was exchanging emails with Brad Karp uh about uh you know, helping each other out and helping out uh other people there. And uh who who and it this grotesque messages and so Brad Karp uh is now resigning from Paul Weiss. We're like, why would Paul Weiss do this deal with Donald Trump? Oh, got it. Their chairman was in the Epstein files. And by the way, it's looking like the Labor Party's leader in the UK, Kier Starmer, Prime Minister Starmer, that government's falling apart right now because of the fact that uh Mandlesen, the UK ambassador to the United States, is all over the files.

9:06 He's very influential in the Labor Party, you know, and there are a lot of people are saying, "Look, Prime Minister Starmer is a good decent guy, you know, and he's been I think he's been really good with Ukraine. I think he's been really weak in dealing with Donald Trump." And I understand, you know, there there there's complexities in the geopolitical situation. But in any event, he he had a disastrous appearance before Parliament yesterday because I don't care what political party you're from. You know, this is a massive, massive issue if people are in these files and a very influential person and the labor leaders in the files who was the UK ambassador to the United States.

9:44 So, watch as you had someone from the opposition party questioning Starmer, you know, and Starmer struggled to get through this. But at least they're like it's bandage ripped off in the parliament there and they're talking about these issues and you know, here in the United States, I mean, you see what MAGA Mike is. So just like contrast how in every other country there's like things that are happening now if you're affiliated with Epstein but not in the United States where Donald Trump's at the heart of the cabal here. Play this clip right here.

10:15 Can the prime minister tell us did the official security vetting he received mention Mandlesson's ongoing relationship with the pedophile Jeffrey Epste? So

10:27 prime minister. Yes it did. A as a as a result various questions were put to him. I intend to disclose to this house all of the the national security predict to international relations on one side. I want to make sure that I want to make sure this house sees the full documentation so it will see for itself the extent to which the extent to which time and time again Mandlesson completely misrepresented the extent of his relationship and lied throughout the process including in response to the due diligence

11:10 you know and so as Donald Trump gets more and more desperate I think we're going to start to hear things like this. You had Steve Bannon yesterday uh saying that uh we're going to have ICE surround the polls come November. Remember earlier this week Donald Trump was posting photos of Steve Bannon saying great guy. Steve Bannon's all over the files. Steve Bannon was talking to Epstein right up until Epstein's death about rehabilitating Epste's image, giving information seems like funneling information to Trump from Trump. I mean those are all over the files. Bannon, Epstein, Trump. And so here's what Bannon said yesterday. Let's play this clip. You're damn right. We're going to have ICE surround the polls come November. We're not going to sit here and allow you to steal the country again. And you can th you can whine and cry and throw your toys out of the pram all you want, but we will never again

12:04 allow an election to be stolen. And speaking of ICE, did you know that ICE agents have apparently been dropping these uh Ace of Spades cards as death cards when they detain people? They like they're like terrorizing people with these death cards. Have you seen this? Here, play this clip.

12:22 Today, members of Congress are raising serious questions about this Ace of Spades card that they say is being placed by ICE agents in Colorado on the abandoned vehicles of people who have been detained. Lawmakers are calling this move an intimidation tactic because the Ace of Spades is also known as the death card, often associated with psychological warfare. One leader from an immigrant rights group in the state told a local station that they know of at least two people who had the card on their vehicles. So the reporter then asked Donald Trump, you know, look, you tweeted out some theories about like, you know, theories like your conspiracies about uh Italian satellites changing the election results in 2020 and you believe that that there's, you know, Venezuela was working with Italian CIA, China, they I mean understand the conspiracy theory and Trump's like, I didn't tweet it. I retruthed it. Play this clip. You

13:21 you tweeted out some some theories about Italians and satellites. I mean, do you believe that stuff?

13:26 No, no, no. I No, I didn't. I sometimes will retweet. I will retruth. And we also have been learning that Donald Trump's director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has been spending a lot of last year uh in Puerto Rico where she's been in investigating one of Trump's deranged conspiracies of Venez of Yugo Chavez Venezuelan machines hacking into the American I again I can't even follow what these conspiracy these conspiracy theories are. But, you know, I think one of the things that Trump's going to try to do um with Maduro is get Maduro to plead guilty and say that Venezuela interfered with the 2020 election. Like, that seems to be an obvious thing that Trump's trying to do. Oh, Melania was asked about Gilain Maxwell when she was holding a press conference using hostages who were freed. Um, Israeli American Israeli hostages who were freed, but she was using that to promote her movie. Then she was asked a question

14:28 about Gilain and she's like I do not want to talk about this. Here play this clip.

14:33 Survivors move to a high we are we are here celebrating the release and the life of those two incredible people. So let's honor that.

14:48 And then Donald Trump's been sending emails like this to his supporters. It says from Trump. Hello. Before I sign your name on your tariff check, I want to check that your name is spelled right. So it says then it's a photo of Trump holding $100 bills. And you click it because he says he's going to give you money. This is the only tariff rebate email authorized by Donald Trump. Then again, when you click the email, there's no tariff rebate check. You think you're getting a tariff rebate check because you click the money, but you give him your money. I mean, he's just a scam. Just a scam artist and everything. So share that all with you.
