Trump PANICS After Miller’s On Air Collapse Reveals Epstein Secrets | Rick Wilson

Everybody in Donald Trump's White House is in a state of complete crisis and yes, even with this stuffed up nose, I am enjoying every last second of it. Stephen Miller is publicly unraveling and the schadenfreude is so pure it should come with a Surgeon General warning. The guy stomped onto a MAGA channel to melt down on live TV, screaming and spiraling so fast that even the host, whose entire job description is not obediently, kept trying to interrupt him just to slow the crash. But Miller wasn't having it. He just kept yelling, ranting, and detonating on air, perfectly mirroring Donald Trump's collapsing term as the Epstein files crushed the entire operation like a

rotten roof in hurricane season. And we are going to get into Miller's on-air thermal meltdown. Trust me, it's the kind of clip you want to frame above your fireplace. But before we get there, before we savor the full humiliation spiral, I want to start with one of the most important lies to debunk about the Epstein files. A lie MAGA has been pushing like it's oxygen. And Brian Tyler Cohen walked onto Piers Morgan's set and torched

it calmly, methodically, the way a professional puts down a wounded animal.

The files were in the possession of one person, just like they're in the possession of Pam Bonny right now, who will of course bent at the every whim of Donald Trump. They were in the possession of Merrick Garland. This is a guy who wouldn't even investigate Donald Trump for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. This is somebody whose entire, entire ethos, his entire raison d'etre in government was just to prevent the optics of politicization.

Am I surprised that Merrick Garland didn't leak any of this information in the files? Absolutely not. This guy's sole focus was to not do anything political or politicized. So do I think it should have been leaked?

Absolutely. Do I care whether anyone from Larry Summers or Bill Clinton all the way to Donald Trump is implicated in these files? Am I looking to protect any of these people? Absolutely not. I think all of this should have been released. And by the way, so did the people that staff this very administration, Dan Bongino, Cash Patel. The fact that they now are so silent, the fact that they're perpetuating the same cover-up that

they once condemned- I don't disagree. I don't disagree. I think you make a perfectly valid point about the hypocrisy on both sides. Michael you want to respond to that?

Yeah hold on. Brian's whitewashing Garland a little bit too much here. He's complimenting him by pretending to insult him. So he's saying, well, you know, the real problem with Merrick Garland... I can assure you I'm not complimenting him. Well, you are, because you're saying the real problem with Merrick Garland is he didn't want to get into the fray of politics. He was so clean. He wanted to remain so above it all. This is I don't think it was Merrick Garland's pristine moral standards that prevented him from releasing this.

I think Piers is probably right that if the Democrats don't want to release the files,

it's because the files don't look good for them either.

If you think Merrick Garland was a political hack, do you think Pam Bondi is a political

hack, Michael? I think Pam Bondi is doing a very good job as attorney general.

I don't think she's a hack like Garland. This woman has engaged in every political prosecution. Donald Trump literally sends his little edicts out into the ether on Truth Social.

The idea that Democrats are somehow blocking the release of the Epstein files is one of those MAGA fairy tales that collapses under the weight of its own stupidity, especially when the same Republicans now claim that the email dumps we forced into daylight are being released for political purposes. So let me get this straight. Joe Biden supposedly hid the files because there was nothing damaging to Trump, but Democrats are also releasing files because they're too damaging to Trump.

Pick one, kids. You don't get to run both conspiracy theories at the same time unless you're running a clearance sale on nonsense. The only thing that actually makes sense in the real world where adults live is that Ghislaine Maxwell was prosecuted and convicted under Joe Biden's DOJ. That's what justice looks like. Meanwhile, under Trump, she was practically living in a five-star witness protection spa. That's

your contrast. And speaking of cover-ups, not the one-term slapdash variety, but the long-rotting institutional kind, Jamie Raskin delivered the perfect surgical breakdown of just how deep and deliberate this whole operation has always been, right before we get to Miller's on-air meltdown.

This is like a deadly serious issue for the survivors, for the victims of this massive event. They want to know the truth. They have a right to truth and justice, as well as for others who haven't even come forward yet. This was a massive child sex abuse and trafficking ring,

which was covered up originally by Alex Acosta, who later gets rewarded with an appointment to the Trump cabinet.

I feel like that is missing so much from the coverage of the Epstein files. The fact that this cover-up didn't just pop up in the past few weeks, or even during this collapsing term. It's been going on for years. This isn't some new MAGA crisis. It's the predictable end result of Donald Trump spending half a lifetime trying to dodge responsibility for the company he kept. He didn't cut ties because he found a conscience. He wanted distance without consequences, plausible deniability without actually stepping away.

Classic Trump. Close enough to benefit, far enough to pretend he had no idea. And that's what makes Stephen Miller's meltdown so telling. The guy lived through the first Trump administration, he knows exactly how long this denial campaign

has been running, and now even he can't keep the panic off his face. So Trump sends him out there to rant about Democrats lying about affordability, or how the administration destroyed energy independence or how healthcare supposedly fell apart under anyone except the man who actually broke it.

It's the usual routine, say anything, blame anyone, hope no one notices the fire behind the curtain. But watching Miller spit out talking points while the host keeps trying to steady the conversation tells you everything. They're not defending a position anymore. They're scrambling to contain a disaster they all saw coming.

Obamacare has been an abject failure. Obamacare has led to rising premiums for Americans. Who gave us Obamacare? The Democrats. Who's fighting to defend American patients from Obamacare? Republicans and President Trump. And one more issue we have to talk about is immigration. For four years, the housing costs were exploding because Democrats were flooding your communities

with illegal immigrants, with foreign workers, and with foreign nationals who were getting subsidized housing. President Trump, through his judge it by the results, President Trump came into office, slashed the trade deficit, trillions of new investment, critical industries back on our

shores, wages are rising for the first time in four years, energy costs are the lowest they've been in four years, and he did it all while also implementing these tariffs. So the claims that tariffs would cause inflation have been proven flat out wrong. Democrats wrecked the economy for four years. Let's remember, for four years,

they put you through economic hell.

Stephen Miller is such a repugnant figure, and honestly, that's the only word that fits Stephen Miller, repugnant. I've said before, the man's got plenty of money, but somehow every suit he wears looks like he lost a fight with a clearance rack. The fabric alone makes you recoil.

It's the kind of vibe where your body instinctively leans away, like, nope, nope, get him off my screen. And then there he is again, stomping his way into the, into the frame with that nasal whine. The Democrats put you in energy hell. The Democrats broke healthcare, sounding like a malfunctioning intercom in a haunted Motel 6. And the host, God bless him, keeps trying to interrupt, trying to throw him a rope before the man embarrasses himself into the

Earth's core. Steven, Steven, okay, could you just please stop? And Miller barrels on anyway. It's comedy, it's tragic, it's very on-brand. What makes it even better is that this isn't Fox Primetime. This is discount bin MAGA TV. This host is supposed to love guys like Miller. He's supposed to stroke the ego, fluff the nonsense, keep the viewers in the cult-friendly trance.

And even he hits his limit. Like, I cannot keep cleaning up this man's sentences for him. That's where MAGA is right now. Exhausted, annoyed, worn down by their own circus. They see the fractures in the base, in the administration, in the entire Republican Party, and for once, they actually feel it. And all of this is happening

because tomorrow is doomsday for them. Tomorrow is the Epstein vote. Tomorrow is the moment when the cover-up cracks in public, when Republicans can't hide behind process or timing or we're still reviewing. Tomorrow they have to go on record. And Donald Trump knows exactly what that means. So before all the chaos drops, before the scrambling and screaming and emergency statements,

I want you to hear Ari Melber's breakdown of what happens tomorrow and why Donald Trump is especially terrified right now

You're watching the beat with Ari Melber on MS now amid the countdown to Congress Voting on Releasing the Epstein files the vote is expected tomorrow anything can happen But that's the current congressional guidance The plan is for the house to vote on a bipartisan measure to release The Epstein files that the Trump administration,

the DOJ specifically, has been holding and refusing to release. Now, I'm going to walk through this with you because I've heard a lot of stuff about the Epstein files, frankly, for years, but especially today. And so let's start with the facts. The Trump administration has now had about 300 days in office and has refused to release any of the Epstein files in that time. Trump has also spent the better part of this year

refusing to release the Epstein material. The issue has come up in many ways. He has been asked about it in public, he has been pressed about it by journalists, and he has of course watched as the Congress moved towards wanting to do this. His DOJ can release these files within the law any time. There may be some technicalities, victims' names, grand jury material, certain things that are protected. But they have the material, and they can release the bulk of it

any time, and they have it. So we know Donald Trump opposes actually releasing the files because he has not released the files. Sometimes this stuff gets pretty simple. There's also reporting that he specifically barred his Attorney General from releasing the files per Axios, but even without those internal specifics, the buck stops with the president and he

won't release the files. And that has been the state of play all year. And whether you follow the news all the time, daily news, watch TV, get it on your phone and internet, or just checking occasionally, you probably are aware of that baseline. So you say, OK, Ari, got a big vote tomorrow.

What's the big deal? How did we get here? Well, just remember, because Trump is now in retreat. So there has been some spin and some other talk. But remember, the Trump secrecy, don't release the files, don't do it, whatever you do, was

also backed by the co-equal branch of government where the Republicans control the House. And the Republican speaker, Mike Johnson, didn't just oppose releasing the files, right? That's the position. He also opposed and refused to ever schedule any vote on whether to release the files, right? That's the position. He also opposed and refused to ever schedule any vote on whether to release the files.

The day of judgment has come, Maga. You can't run. You can't hide. And for once in your lives, you don't get to tantrum your way out of accountability. And thank God for that, because this crowd has skated for so long, they actually think consequences are unconstitutional. And look, you can say whatever you want about the early Biden years and the big kumbaya instinct to bring the country together. But the truth, as Brian said at the top, is that we seriously underestimated just how much rot Donald Trump pumped into the national bloodstream. We tried to pretend the House We seriously underestimated just how much rot

Donald Trump pumped into the national bloodstream. We tried to pretend the house wasn't infested. We tried to wallpaper over the black mold. We treated Trumpism like it was a bad smell you could air out instead of a deep structural failure you have to cut out with a saw.

We did the polite thing, the wishful thing. We whispered the former guy and pretended that refusing to say his name would keep the poison from spreading. Meanwhile, the country forgot just how catastrophic he actually was. Because how can you remember the fire when everyone insists the smoke was divisive to point out? And we cannot make that mistake again, not with this man, not with this movement. We have to be loud, obnoxiously loud about

Donald Trump's abuses of power. Loud about his twisted little alliance with Epstein, loud about the coverup that has stretched across years and administrations and continents. Loud about the dark questions that any

normal democracy would have demanded answers to on day one. Because all the recent answers we have gotten, they've been pitch black. So yeah, ask it. Did Trump kill Epstein? Ask it out loud. Because why exactly is that off limits? Why should the guy who lies about everything from crowd sizes to pandemics be granted some magical innocence bubble when

it comes to the single most suspicious death of the decade. We can ask that question. We should ask that question. Honestly, we have to ask that question. Because if we don't confront every grotesque, murky, stomach-churning part of this administration, we'll never fully grasp the scale of what they've done. And we sure as hell won't understand what it's going to take to claw the country back from it. So we're going to be unapologetic here, completely. Even when I sound like I'm broadcasting from inside a clogged humidifier, sorry about that, but I'm about to inhale an Advil cold in sinus and we're going to keep fighting on this show. And if you want to support that,

in sinus and we're going to keep fighting on this show. And if you want to support that, as always, hit that subscribe button, leave a like, and if you made it to the end,
