SCREAMING Trump ATTACKS Epstein Victims After CONFRONTED Live!

Donald Trump is freaking out like never before, because he never expected the blowback to his Epstein scandal to be this bad. He never expected to get this level of pushback from Republican members of Congress, who are not only fighting for transparency on the Epstein files in Congress, alongside Democrats, but outside as well. And that is what we saw with Ro Khanna and Thomas Massey, who held a press conference

with Epstein's victims who bravely told their stories and are now being attacked by Donald Trump. Yes, Trump is attacking them and we are going to get into that meltdown as well as a conversation with Ro Khanna. But before we do, if I could quickly ask you to leave a like on this video, and if you haven't already, and enjoy our channel, to hit that subscribe button because it goes a long way in supporting our work. Now before we get into Trump's just insane meltdown with the Polish president in the Oval Office, I want to start with the other thing he was melting down over as crime in

DC.

Look at Washington DC three weeks ago. It was the same or worse, and now it's considered a totally safe zone. Restaurants are open, they're bustling. Restaurants, you have to see, restaurants were dying. Nobody wanted to go out. They didn't want to be attacked.

They didn't want to be mugged. They didn't want to be attacked even in the restaurant. And you take a look at what's happened. Friends of mine that haven't gone to a restaurant in four years, one of them went out five times in the last two weeks to a restaurant with his family. They feel totally safe. Washington, D.C. is a totally safe city. You're not reporting any crime because there is none. They said crime is down 87 percent. And I said, no, it's not.

It's down 100 percent. We have a great thing going. I could do that with Chicago. We could do that with New York. I could do that with Chicago. We could do that with New York. We could do it with Los Angeles. So we're making a determination now. Do we go to Chicago or do we go to a place like New Orleans where we have a great governor, Jeff Landry, who wants us to come in and straighten out a very nice section of this country that's become quite, you know,

quite tough, quite bad.

So it is embarrassing that we continue to be represented on the world stage by this buffoon. Donald Trump is just trying in a moment when he appears so weak, unable to coerce his Republicans in Congress into striking down this discharge petition, into stopping the release of the Epstein files, Donald Trump is trying to play fake tough guy by saying that he has completely stopped crime when he himself is the biggest criminal in DC.

And the rambling did not stop there because the idiotic Trump wanted to look tough in front of another world leader, and so he was talking about tariffs like an idiot before he was asked about Epstein.

You talked about how historic these tariffs have been, bringing in revenue, additional revenue for our country. You've also mentioned before they could possibly replace federal income tax. Possible. Do you think that's possible? Someday it's possible. It used to be.

So, if you go back to 1913 is when they ended tariffs. We were the richest ever from 1850. It was all tariffs. We didn't have income taxes. From 1850 to 1913. In the 1887s, about 1887, they had the Great National Terror Effect.

And it was a group of people that got together because our country was so rich, they didn't know what to do with the money. We had so much money, they didn't know what to do. It was a group of very prominent people that were set up to hand out money to everybody because we were the richest we ever were. Proportionately, we were in 1887, around that time,

even in 1913, we ended them in 1913. How did that work out? And then we went to the income tax system and then we had the depression. And by the way, a lot of people try and say that,

oh, tariffs with the, no, they ended in 1913."

He really has no idea what he's saying at all. This is all performance art at this point. Donald Trump is constantly putting on this political theater, but as I continue to say, it's really hard to do when you don't know your lines. Donald Trump has no idea what he's saying. He continues to tell this insane story in which 30 billion dollars is sitting around the White House and Trump asks his staff to check the tariff shelf and they find it because 30 billion dollars can just be sitting around I guess. It just goes to

show how much he is pampered by his own yes-men, how incoherent he is even behind the scenes. Donald Trump knows nothing of what's going on, but he does know he wants this Epstein story to go away, which is why when he was asked by a reporter, he lost his mind.

Right now, there have been survivors of Jeffrey Epstein speaking at a press conference on Capitol Hill. They're calling for these case files, these documents to be released. And Thomas Massey, who is sponsoring a discharge of physicians who get the House Juvon release of those documents, says he doesn't believe you're implicated in these files, but many of your friends and donors may be. And he says that's why the Justice Department is redacting them and slow-walking the release.

Is the Justice Department protecting any friends or donors, sir? So this is a Democrat hoax that never ends. You know, it reminds me a little of the Kennedy situation. We gave him everything over and over again, more and more and more, and nobody's ever satisfied. From what I understand, I could check, but from what I understand, thousands of pages of documents have been given. But it's really a Democrat hoax, because they're trying to get people to talk about something

that's totally irrelevant to the success that we've had as a nation since I've been president. Even if you look at D.C. right now, D.C., it's a totally safe zone. It's called a safe zone. That's a term. It's a term of art. It's a safe zone because it's called a safe zone. That's a that's a term. It's a term of art. It's a safe zone because it's very safe. You could walk down the street now and nothing's gonna happen. No crime, no murders, no nothing. Because we had a lot of problems with with certain places and we still do all run by Democrats or for the most part run by Democrats.

So what they're trying to do with the Epstein hoax is get people to talk about that instead of speaking about the tremendous success like ending seven wars. I ended seven wars. Nobody's going to talk about because they're going to talk about the Epstein whatever.

To call this a hoax while Epstein's victims are bravely sharing their stories is so disgusting and so depraved. I know it's unsurprising, but we have to stop being so numb to Donald Trump. We can't say, well, that's just Trump being Trump. We knew he would make some disgusting remark like that. We knew he would attack these survivors.

No, we have to take this at face value. The president of the United States is trying to demean the stories of these survivors, push them to the side, try to create some spectacle to distract you because he doesn't want you to focus on the fact that he is a criminal and a co-conspirator of Epstein and a co-conspirator of Maxwell and his many attempts now to tamper with this witness to put forth a positive perception of himself when in fact we know the truth.

Which is why the truth needs to continue to come out and Congressman Ro Khan is making sure that's happening. I spoke to him about this press conference and I hope you really enjoy this interview. Congressman, you just held an explosive press conference with several survivors of the abuse of not just Jeffrey Epstein, but Donald Trump and Todd Blanche's good friend now, Glenn Maxwell. And it seems like your Republican colleagues, no matter how much they hear about

the abuse, how much they see of the clear cover up, think that they can just push this story away. It was last month where Mike Johnson shut down Congress, thinking that if it was just a little bit of time off, no one would be talking about Epstein. We still are, as we should be. Do they really still think that they can sweep this under the rug?

Look, this is coming up in town halls across the country. The reason you know that they can't sweep it across the rug is you have Republicans themselves like Comer asking for the Epstein files, subpoenaing for the Epstein files. I mean, if they thought this was a nonissue, they would just go quiet. You have people like Marjorie Taylor Greene calling still for the Epstein file release. It's not just Thomas Massey. And they're spending $20 million to try to defeat Massie, to intimidate Republicans from

speaking out. Why is it such an issue? Because people are saying, what hold do a few people have on the United States government that they are so powerful that they can prevent the United States government from releasing these files? I mean, it's pretty amazing, right?

We're the superpower of the world. We've got these files. I mean, it's pretty amazing, right? We're the superpower of the world. We've got these files. And there's some group of people who have such power that they can stop the president of the United States from releasing the files, even though he promised to do so. And that's why people are saying it's just not fair. We need to release the files.

We're going to have the files released with Massey and my bill.

Yeah. the files released with Massey and my bill. Yeah, and you two have done such great work on this issue, not just bringing attention to it, but starting to convince some of at least Massey's Republican colleagues through any point of this. I know it's it's important that we have, you know, a little bipartisanship on this issue. But if you just like looked at him and said like, hey, man, does this not change your mind about how you view Donald Trump? Like if he's broken this promise and now he's trying to spend $20 million

to get you out of office and stop talking about it. I don't know, would some Republicans, how are they not kind of like coming around on this and seeing it as a larger thing?

Well, Massey has always been principled. I mean, he's never been one to just follow Donald Trump's marching orders. And he's disagreed with Trump. We did the Iran War Powers resolution again. But the key, and it's a difference, I guess, in my approach and some others in our party, is my view is that the way to win over the MAGA base is not to try to embarrass them or ostracize them or shame them or ridicule them.

It's to say, where can we have common ground? We have common ground in no dumb wars. We have common ground in transparency. We have common ground in helping deindustrialize towns, bring manufacturing, and then saying, give us a look, give us a chance as a Democratic Party that we may have a better solution, a better vision.

And by the way, we're going to work where we have common ground and we'll fight where we don't. And I just think that that approach is what's ultimately going to win back the voters who voted for Obama twice and now have voted for Trump twice.

Yeah, and I think that this issue really speaks for itself when talking about bringing people back in. I see so many times, kind of two things on like the meta messaging around the Epstein files. The first is that I feel like so many are so quick to tie everything into this. Of course, like on its own, it's a class issue. Donald Trump is protecting himself, but obviously other billionaire elites and anyone who has power to influence him. But at the same time, you know, I also see

in the messaging around this, anything that's not talking about the Epstein files is claimed to be a distraction. You know, we have a takeover of Washington, D.C. right now, and a lot of people have said that it's a distraction from talking about the Epstein files. And I think that we should be talking about the Epstein files as much as we can. Obviously, you're not going to disagree with that. But this line of like, things are a distraction, I don't think it works. And I don't think it's smart, because other issues matter. Like, what would be your messaging advice to Democrats who maybe jump to the distraction line

to try to elevate the Epstein files instead of just saying that all of these things can kind of exist as their own issues.

With respect, they need to get out of their own head and listen to people. You know, we don't determine what's a distraction in Washington, D.C. We should be following what people are talking about. And if they're out there on town halls, you know, a lot of times I'll lead with the terrible cuts on Medicaid, the tax breaks for the wealthy, the cuts to meals for veterans, and the first question will be about the Epstein files.

Now why is that? Because people feel that the system is broken, that the system has led to a nation that's half prosperous and half in decline, that the system has led to the rich having a better experience of life and the working class and middle class not knowing how their kids are going to have the American dream. And so Epstein is an example, a symbol for the rich and powerful getting the government they want while shafting everyone else. And if you're not on the side

of changing that system, of exposing that system, of calling out that rotten system, then you don't get it. And you're not going to be effective in modern politics.

It's the first time I think in a while that we've been very effective in picking a good enemy. Obviously, talking about a billionaire class that controls everything in our country is a way that we've won. The last time I think that we really nailed this was Project 2025. It's like Donald Trump always creates either a good boogeyman or he creates good enemies to carry out his corruption against. Obviously, what Donald Trump is doing to suppress actual speech at universities, making sure that if you're

fighting for and speaking on behalf of like a Palestinian human rights, and you're calling out a genocide that's taking place right now in Gaza Donald Trump is gonna try to silence you but he's doing it by attacking universities that are already unpopular, right? And and I don't think that we have done the best job in kind of creating the good enemies Where do you find that and the issues that we need to win on that? Like what is an enemy that you would like to see? I know we want a positive aspirational vision

But like where are other good enemies for Democrats to frame our fight around? on that, like what is an enemy that you would like to see? I know we want a positive aspirational vision,

but like where are other good enemies for Democrats to frame our fight around?

Well, Dr. King once said, attack the system, not the specific players in the system. And to me, the enemy is there's a rotten corrupt system that has allowed wealth to pile up in districts like mine while hollowing out the working and middle class. The enemy is the billionaires that are allowed to have super PACs and basically control elections.

The enemy is the corporate greed that has hollowed out industries across America. The enemy is all of the special interest groups that have led to a foreign policy that is indifferent to the famine in Gaza and the suffering in Gaza and human rights. The enemy is all of the special interest groups that have made America's health care the most expensive in the world, with some of the least outcomes when it comes to maternal mortality and infant mortality.

Those are the enemies. I mean, and what we need to say is we're going to take on big money. We're going to take on economic inequality. We're going to take on the corruption in politics, and we're going to offer an affirmative vision back. Now, you know, can we call out specifics when it matters?

Absolutely. But if you're just demonizing an individual, if you're just demonizing a particular business, and you're not making systemic change, you're not making actual change, things aren't going to be different.

Yeah, because I feel like Palantir is a great example of this, like talking about a surveillance state that Republicans for the longest time said that they were the ones they were worried about it. But it was Democrats who were gonna be looking through your messages and then taking away your rights, your liberties, your freedoms. And now it's like the guy who created JD Vance's career and is now receiving so much in these government contracts. I think that's an example

of how we do this and we make a good case against like kind of a boogeyman. I think it's important for us to have a boogeyman. I think Trump does that well. Of course, now he's done it again with these mass firings that we see at the CDC. And we need in this moment, as we've failed to so many times, to actually take on what might be to the broader public like an unpopular institution. I think we did a good job making sure

that people realize the importance of USAID. I think we've turned people around on Donald Trump's immigration agenda. It was popular at the beginning of his administration. It's incredibly unpopular now. I think the CDC is an example where people obviously,

and for good reason, distrust our healthcare system, distrust pharma, distrust what is in our food. But at the same time, Donald Trump firing these people, RFK Jr. firing these people, these mass purges don't help. How do we take an institution that's kind of unpopular and change how people view it, in your opinion?

Well, we need to make sure that we're for reforms in these institutions to show that the institutions are actually working for everyone. For a long time, people have felt that the government is working for those who are affluent, for making money, and it isn't working for them. But I think that we don't need to mimic Donald Trump. I mean, he has been the most fear-based president for two terms.

He has had a policy of division, of stoking hatred. And the American people are bigger than that. The American people have a goodness in their heart, have an ambition in their heart. They have a longing to actually do big things. And what we need to say is that Donald Trump isn't offering some sense of strength. He's offering this most small type of junior high-like politics. That's not what it means

to be a man. That's not what it means to be a person of character. The American people are bigger than that, are stronger than that. We're dreamers and we're builders. And while he's offering a nihilism of despair and destruction and division, we're offering an affirmative vision of this country's capability to do big and important things. And that includes Medicare for all, getting rid of super PACs, child care at $10 a day, living wage, putting more money in the pockets of workers, making sure that we have free

public college, a thousand trade schools, that we are building an economic vibrancy in every community across America. I call it a 21st century Marshall Plan economic patriotism. But this country is desperate to be inspired. And you know what? Just because Donald Trump won twice on fear, have we forgotten Reagan? Have we forgotten John F. Kennedy? Have we forgotten Bill Clinton? Have we forgotten Reagan? Have we forgotten John F. Kennedy?

Have we forgotten Bill Clinton? Have we forgotten Barack Obama? Have we forgotten FDR? Should we just copy Donald Trump because that was the one time that that worked? Or should we look at presidents who are actually going to be more respected and offer something more

visionary?

Do you think it is a different type of, maybe fear is the wrong word, but a contrast of what the politics of the past, or I guess the politics of the past post-Citizens United years have been, is that a contrast that you think is a fear of billionaires, or is that more kind of illuminating

just the overreach that they have in our politics?

Well, there's no doubt that billionaires have too much influence in our politics and citizens united has made it worse that's just a statement of fact the person who's pointed that out is Bernie Sanders and we need but you know it's not enough just to say that you know a lot of every democrat will say that and then i say okay are you for a vault tax? are you for taxing the billionaires and millionaires more? Because I am. Where are you on that? Or are you just for platitudes? Are you for actually banning super PACs and

Democratic primaries? Are you just for platitudes? Are you for financial transaction tasks? Are you for platitudes? See, the reason people love Bernie Sanders is because he wasn't just platitudes. He had specifics, as did Elizabeth Warren, about how to change things. And I think that the one thing the American people are tired of is platitudes. You'll have these Democratic politicians come up, I am not for the status quo. I'm an anti-establishment.

The old guard needs to go. I'm the new thing. Well, are you for taxing wealth? No, no, I don't want to talk about that. Are you for making sure that we don't have military weapons going to Israel that are killing civilians? I don't want to talk about that. Are you for actually having free public college and trade schools? I don't want to talk about that. But I'm for new, I'm for a new direction. That is not gonna

fly anymore.

Yeah, well, I'm tired of the publicly, the strongly worded letters of the press conferences. I said this recently. It's like, it's not even the Democrats want fighters. We want killers. Like, don't go out and just like say something like actually do. I appreciate you bringing the heat on that. As I always do. And I appreciate you making sure that people are still paying attention and calling out

the Epstein cover up. Thank you so much for joining me. Thank you so much for joining me. I always appreciate the time, Congressman.
