This is the full, timestamped transcript of "🚨Trump’s DARK PAST SURFACES as STUNT BACKFIRES", an episode of MeidasTouch published January 14, 2026 (16 min, about 2,665 words). It mentions 16 people, works and ideas, including Epstein file, TJ Sabula, pedophile protector, Mara Lago, fraud.

What this episode is about

Donald Trump's recent outbursts and behavior have been linked to his attempts to distract from ongoing legal challenges regarding the Epstein files, which he and the DOJ are accused of failing to produce. A confrontation at a Ford factory highlighted this tension, as an auto worker publicly labeled Trump a "pedophile protector," leading to an angry response from Trump and subsequent repercussions for the worker, raising questions about free speech and accountability.

Key takeaways

  • Trump's middle finger to auto workers: a vivid symbol of his disconnect from labor realities and accountability.
  • TJ Sabula’s bold protest illustrates how dissent doesn't know party lines; a worker's truth often transcends political divides.
  • Amid Epstein talk, Trump distracts with Clinton's past, deflecting accountability like a seasoned magician dodging a spotlight.
  • Only 1% of Epstein files released—transparency? More like a magic trick to obscure the real questions needing answers.
  • Suspending Sabula for speaking truth is a classic tactic of intimidation; silencing dissent is easier than facing the facts.

Full transcript with timestamps

a completely unhinged lunatic, Donald Trump was freaking out all day yesterday about the fact that he can't cover up the Epstein files. We previously reported how a federal judge, Judge Angelmeer, wants the DOJ to respond about whether or not an independent monitor needs to be put in place to release the Epstein files that Trump and the DOJ are in criminal violation of not producing. So you see, Donald Trump sent his sick offense to go on state regime media yesterday, which calls itself Fox, and to hold press conferences to try to distract from his dark past. There was that worker at the Ford factory in Detroit who kept on screaming at Donald Trump, appropriately so. You're a pedophile protector. You're a pedophile protector, Donald. And Trump just lost it. He can't control himself. He gave the middle finger to the auto worker. Is there any better symbol of this Trump regime? I saw one commentator say than

Donald Trump giving the middle finger to auto workers and union workers. That's what Donald Trump does on a daily basis. But Donald Trump's like, "F you. F you." Because the auto worker was saying, "You're a pedophile protector." And it should be noted that the auto worker is not a Democrat. Identifies as an independent. has voted Republican in the past, not a Trump voter, but he believes, I think, and rightfully so, that Trump and this regime are a bunch of pedophile protectors. And Trump just gave him the middle finger, and Trump looked like an unhinged lunatic. And then the Trump regime attacked the Ford factory worker. And then Ford suspended this guy. I mean, this guy was just saying his First Amendment rights. If you're going to present for a pedophile protector at the factory and the guy's going to accurately call out that there's a freaking predator amongst them, you're going to suspend the guy.

You know the story about him right now? His name is TJ Sabula, a 40-year-old United Auto Workers, local 600 line worker at the factory. And he told the Washington Post that he was the one shouting at Trump. He said he has been suspended from work pending an investigation. The Trump regime called him a lunatic. They go, "A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage and the president gave an appropriate and unambiguous response." Steve Chung, Donald Trump's communications director said in a Washington Post statement. And then TJ Sabullah responds, "As far as calling him out, definitely no regrets whatsoever." Sabola said though he added he is concerned about the future of his job and believes that he's now been targeted for political retribution for embarrassing Donald Trump in front of his friends. Sabula identifies as politically independent and said he never voted for Trump but has supported

other Republicans. He estimated that he was roughly 60 feet away from Trump on Tuesday and that the president could hear him very very very clearly. He said he was specifically referencing Trump's handling of the Epstein files. I don't feel as though fate looks upon you often and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. Sabula said, and today I think I did that. Our hat tip goes to you, TJ. And TJ, reach out to the Midas Touch Network. If we can help you in any way, we want to help you at the Midas Touch Network. So, let us know what we can do to uh help. So, you know, the Trump regime yesterday evening, I don't know if you caught this, they sent James Comr, the head of the House Oversight Committee, um, and other sick offense to do the coverup work for Donald Trump's very sick and disgusting and dark past with Epstein. So, James Comr went on state regime media known as

Fox, and Comr was like, "We've got a lot of unanswered questions here. American people really want to know is what was Bill Clinton doing? Okay, first off, we're not here defending Bill Clinton. Okay, at the end of the day, just release the freaking files. Release the entire files. Only 1% of the Epstein files have been released. And it's obvious y'all are covering up for Donald Trump. We know what you're doing. Here's what James Comr had to say. Play this clip. Yeah, look, Donald Trump has answered thousands of questions from the American uh public and from the media about Epstein. To my knowledge, Bill Clinton hasn't answered any questions.

And what he said in that letter, he's provided us his information uh about his knowledge of Epstein. Uh he didn't provide hardly any information for someone that allowed Epstein to go to the White House 17 times while he was president and then fly on his plane 27 times. So, uh, we have questions. If you, if anyone in America is interested in Epstein and getting to the truth about what really happened and and who needs to be held accountable and how the government failed the victims, then Bill Clinton uh, is someone that would be a person of interest whether you're a Republican or Democrat.

And then Donald Trump has his other proxy from state regime media, Sean Hannity say that Donald Trump never flew on the plane with Epstein from what I understand. Here, play this clip. All right. Donald Trump never flew on the plane from what I understand either,

right? They're just making up the stupidest lies. I mean, we all know that Trump was on the plane multiple multiple times, maybe more than just about most people. Trump was on that plane frequently, and we don't even know how many more times Donald Trump was on the plane. We do have this email from January 8th, 2020. This is between the various United States attorneys to each other. And it says, "For your situational awareness, wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epste's private jet many more times than previously has been reported or that we were aware, including during the period.

We would expect to charge in a Maxwell case. In particular, he was listed on the passenger of at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996." Maggamike, Donald Trump sickant, pathetic Magga Mike. He was running around the halls like you want to know what an unhinged lunatic looks like? Stephen Chung Magamike Johnson is exhibit A. Magamike was running around flailing saying by definition Bill Clinton is engaged in contempt of Congress. Bill Clinton is our target in the Epstein investigations. Donald Trump has held open unending press conferences where he spoke about Epstein all the time. But Bill Clinton, you know what Donald Trump has said? Donald Trump has said that Epstein took his property, referring to Virginia Grey, who was sex traffked from Mara Lago. Mara Lago was a sight of the sex trafficking. And I don't have to worry about saying that, oh, you're going to defame him. No, it was. Virginia Dre was taken from Mara

Lago. And we know from all of the reporting that Epstein didn't even have to go to the Mara Lago spa. The Mara Lago spa went to Jeffrey Epstein. Mara Lago sent girls. They sent staffers. They sent massuses. They sent manicurists to Epstein. And Epste would expose himself to them and sexually assault the girls at his house. And then a girl who was maybe 18, perhaps even younger. Virginia Duprey was underage at the time, by the way. She was 17 years old. And the Trump regime, they put out ads to attract these younger girls to work at Mara Lago during that period of time. But there was a young girl, her dad was livid at Epstein. They threatened Donald Trump. They threatened uh to go public with what Trump was doing. And then Donald Trump claims he banned Epstein from the spa. Mara Lago, not Mara Lago, but the spa, but Epstein was never going to the spa. As I said, the spa was going to him. Here, let's

just play this clip of Magna and Mike Flail. Hold on, let's play that. Clinton's defied the subpoena today. Um, one, are you going to hold them in contempt? Two, should the oversight committee also pursue Trump and get testimony from him with his lunch seal? Um why would why would they need to President Trump relationship

President Trump gives open uh unending press conferences on a daily basis anybody can ask him anything and he's addressed this issue ad nauseium under oath

the Clintons have not and uh and I think it's defiance of Congress for them to defy the subpoena. I mean I think by definition uh it's an example of Congress and we'll have to see how that plays out.

Mr. Okay, so uh let's go take a look at what else was going down. You had James Comr holding the press conference earlier in the day where a Clinton play this clip. We subpoenaed Pam Bondi for the documents. She started producing the documents. Then Congress voted for the uh the discharge petition uh to send another message and we all voted for that. uh she is she they are sending documents. They sent a big batch. The Democrats were were unhappy. They uh they said there weren't enough redactions. So now the DOJ is going through trying to make sure they redact everything. So as from from my standpoint, the Department of Justice is cooperating. They are turning over documents. We would all like for them to turn documents over quicker, but at the end of the day, they are complying. President Trump is answering your questions about Epstein. He's answered them over and over and over again. Who we haven't heard from is Bill

Clinton. And I stated why. The amount of time that that Epstein spent with Clinton while he was president and post presidency. So I don't think it's it's uh out of line for former President Clinton to come in for a bipartisan subpoena and sit down and answer questions. So thank you all.

More James Comer here talking about Clinton. unanimously by the committee in a bipartisan manner, we will move next week in the House Oversight Committee Markup to hold former President Clinton in contempt of Congress.

So, then you had Democratic Congress member Johnson say that, you know, the the Trump regime is one gigantic fraud operation. They promised they would deliver the Epstein files and make things affordable, and they lied on all accounts. Play this clip.

You know, this administration got elected based on fraud. It promised that uh they were going to uh deliver the Epstein files. They did not do so. They promised that uh they would uh cut the cost of groceries uh on day one. They have not done so. They promised to keep us out of uh endless wars. Uh they have not done so. They've accelerated that. And uh so this is a administration based on fraud led by a fraudster. A gentleman who was convicted of fraud uh multiple counts. A gentleman whose organization was convicted of fraud. Multiple counts.

Now you all remember uh Donald Trump by now you've seen our the clips that we've played. Uh Donald Trump giving the middle finger to uh the forward worker uh TJ Sabula. Here, play the clip of that. Yeah. And I just think Americans are all fed up with this. You know, we've seen uh overperformances by Democrats across the country yesterday as well. Democrats overperformed in Connecticut. I think it was a district uh house district, special election house district that Kamla Harris won by like plus seven. The Democrat won by like in the plus 30s. It was like a 20 point over performance there in Connecticut. The Democrats flipped a seat in uh in uh Florida in Fort Pierce. Democrat Chris Dowski won the Fort Pierce City Commissioner District 2 runoff um flipping the commission to Democratic control. And you want to know the story about the Republican? The Republican resigned sending nude photos of himself to like a

12-year-old girl. Okay. And that and the race was a Democrat and another Republican. This is how WPC CBS12 News described the race before and the Democratic candidate went on to win. But listen why they explained the Republican candidate left that race here. Play this clip.

It's election day here in Fort Pierce and soon someone will take over District 2's second city commissioner seat. The person who was previously in that seat was James Taylor. He was arrested in July of last year for allegedly sending lewd photos to a 12-year-old girl on Snapchat. Now, the race is between Chris Zedowski and Jamie Beth Felinus. Zidowski, formerly a 16-year member of the St. Lucy County Commission. Galinus, a newcomer to politics and currently a senior director at a medical device company. Now, this race is in the runoff portion of the special election because none of the candidates got over 50% of the vote the first time. I'm out here at the polling center speaking with voters and the candidates and we'll give you all of the information as it becomes available on CBS12. So follow and subscribe for all the latest developments. And then there's more distractions from Naga Republicans. As

you know, their attack on Jerome Powell. Launch a criminal investigation into Jerome Powell. Maybe that will distract. Launch an invasion of Venezuela. Maybe that will distract. launch a criminal investigation into Democratic Senator Alyssa Slotkin. Yeah, Alyssa Slotkin says that she learned that she's under federal prosecution or a federal prosecutor rather. She learned that federal prosecutors are investigating her not under prosecution or investigation uh after she took part in a video urging military service members to resist illegal orders. It's unclear to her what possible crimes anybody's even talking about, but you know, that's what you're having, right? That's what's that's what's going down. Oh, and then you have Janine Piro, Donald Trump's United States attorney for the Washington DC, and she attacks Jerome Powell. Maybe they can distract with Jerome Powell. Here, play this clip. But

the chairman says, "No, no, you're attacking the independence of the Federal Reserve. That's not what we're doing. We're doing our job." And I think the sad part about this is no one is above the law, nor should anyone think that they have the right to be above the law, Sean. And I'm curious to those who claim, "Oh my gosh, this is a terrible thing, even in our own party." What do you suggest? Are there certain people that you cannot investigate? Are there certain people that we look the other way and throw complaints in the drawer?

That's not the America that I grew up in. Sean, just to be clear, judge, you you gave them an opportunity to just talk to you and say, "What's going on here? Why are these massive cost overruns?" They didn't get back to you. That's what happened.

He didn't respond. Instead, he comes out with this crazy video. If you write me one time and I don't respond, I'm dead. So, I, you know, it would have been smart if they just responded and had a conversation with you.

It would I wouldn't be sitting here today Sean. Yeah, that's what's going on. Anyway, we'll keep you posted every step of the way here, but wanted to keep you apprised of what's happening.
