The first movie ever screened in the White House wasn’t Casablanca or Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. It was The Birth of a Nation: a Ku Klux Klan recruitment ad that glorified white rage bloodlust. A century later, Trump’s White House is the sequel: staged propaganda to glorify lies, violence, and hate against freedom fighters–otherwise known as antifa–otherwise known as World War II veterans who won the war against tyranny.
Because if you’re not antifa, you’re pro-fascism.
Trump is the Frankenstein monster of America’s darkest chapters: Jim Crow, McCarthyism, Watergate, and reality-TV nihilism. But the heroes who stormed Normandy didn’t die for us to cower before a spray-tanned con man.
Which brings us to the Epstein Files: the panic button of MAGA-land. If the Epstein Files were nothing, Trump and Mike Johnson wouldn’t be working so hard to shut down our government and prevent a vote. “Teflon Don” has gotten away with years of crimes, including inciting a violent attempted overthrow of our democracy, which led to several deaths, including of law enforcement. So why is he so panicked about the Epstein Files?
The truth will come out, as it always does. And remember: bullies only understand strength. So keep pushing, keep shouting, and for the love of democracy: Release. The. Epstein. Files.

| 0:00.0 | Mr. President, and the Supreme Court is back and said they rejected today an appeal by |
| 0:06.7 | Gilling Maxwell to overturn her conviction. |
| 0:09.0 | That means her only chance of getting out of prison is a pardon from you. |
| 0:12.6 | Is that something you're... |
| 0:13.5 | Who are we talking about? |
| 0:14.5 | Billian Maxwell. |
| 0:15.5 | You know, I haven't heard the name it so long. |
| 0:19.0 | I can say this, that I'd have to take a look at it. I would have to take a look. Did they reject that? |
| 0:24.6 | She wanted to appeal her conviction. And what happened? |
| 0:26.6 | And what happened? |
| 0:27.6 | I said that they were not going to hear her appeal. |
| 0:28.6 | I say, well, I'll take a look at it. I'll speak to it. I will speak to the DAJ. I wouldn't consider it or not consider it. I don't know anything about it. So, but I'll speak, I will speak to the DAJ. |
| 0:38.6 | Why does she be attended at the phone seat, sir? I don't know. I mean, I'd have to speak to the DOJ. I'll look at it. I'll, I have a lot of people have asked me for pardons. I call him puff daddy has asked me for a pardon. But she was convicted of child sex trafficking. Yeah, I mean, I'm going to have to take a look at it. |
| 0:55.0 | I'd have to ask D.O.J. The newly elected Democratic Congresswoman Adelaidea Grealva was on the show |
| 1:01.0 | just yesterday. Congressman, you saw that. And she, she thinks that there is a connection between |
| 1:05.7 | the fact that there has been an unusual delay in her getting actually sworn in by the House Speaker |
| 1:10.8 | and the Jeffrey Epstein |
| 1:12.8 | files. Let me play just to remind people what she said. I am hearing that and and I am going to be |
| 1:21.3 | the 218 signer to the discharge petition. So that is the only thing that most people are pointing to. |
