Epstein Files Released - February 27th, Hour 1

very critical of the FBI. I apparently the FBI has video footage and IRS records, and she believes the FBI is thwarted again. The FBI under Biden and Harris, the effort to be transparent and the saddest part of this is these files today reveal two hundred and fifty four what they believe to be two hundred and fifty four victims quote messuses, some of them they believe underage, and

those names will be redacted obviously and rightly. So now we have known a lot about names that have been mentioned and people that have been associated with Epstein for a long time, like Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Prince Andrew. You know, remember President Trump. Yeah, there's a picture of President Trump from years and years ago with Epstein. But when he became a member of mar A Lago and he found out how he was treating people, he threw him out of the club, uh and and wanted nothing

to do with him. This guy seems on every level to have been somebody that wants to be around wealthy and famous people. And so I think it's very important that you understand that what Pam Bondi is doing, she's

releasing flight logs, a lot of names, et cetera. And basically this will will be a first step in terms of creating a roadmap where law enforcement and includes law enforcement notes as well as my understanding, so that they can take this and find out how deep this, this this whole corrupt you know, sex trafficking scandal goes, and who might be involved and who may not be involved. And when you hear you know names, you know you've

got to Also. One of the things that I think has been signature in the show, and I kind of said this in this media interview that I did, is on this show, we don't rush to judgment. Just because somebody flew on Jeffrey Epstein's plane does not mean that they're guilty of anything. The only thing I would argue, and everybody is presumed innocent, you don't rush to judgment.

We're not going to do that here. However, the good news is with the release of names, I would like to think that if the people whose names, some of which I will mention to you that you know again, you give them the presumption of innocence, I hope they will be cooperative with the FBI and with Attorney General Pam Bondi and give up whatever information that they have.

It is I think it is critical, especially when you're talking about victims and underage victims, and the numbers that we're talking about now sex trafficking is one hundred and fifty billion dollars a year business. There are that many sick, ugly, evil, twisted people in the world. So I think that everybody that that maybe Epstein worked his way into their world are guilty. I do not, but you know, I think they do owe it to the end. They don't know

what to the public if they don't want to. I know, if it was me, I would want it out there and say, the guy said he was flying the same place I was flying, so I took a ride and I was playing big deal.

really aren't big bombshells here. But what we are learning is the extent. I mean, you had former President Clinton, Bill Gates, Prince Andrew who his career ended up ending in disgrace, and some other people and all of this information. Hopefully we'll get to the bottom of it. We never got

to the bottom. This is phase one and there's going to be other phases and other information that will be public and over time, hopefully a full picture will emerge, and hopefully those people that have had contact with him, and that contact now in full transparencies being released. Hopefully many of them that were not and never would have been involved in anything like this can cooperate. It is obvious that this guy, there is a word for that, Linda, but you can't say it on TV. This guy love

to be around rich and famous people. There's no doubt

about that part. But the idea that it's that extensive should scare everybody, and anybody with a heart and a soul I think would want to be helpful in getting to the bottom of what they knew, when they knew it, what they saw, you know, at any point where they ever alarmed, And hopefully and then I'd like to know what happened, you know, with this suicide when he hung himself from a bed that was low to the ground and the cameras just happened to be not working that day,

and the prison guards just weren't working at that moment. It seems a little too convenient for me. But do I know anything for sure? I do not, And we don't want to get over our skis, and we won't get over our skis. So anyway, we'll get into this more. We'll check in with Elena Habba coming up, one source said.

The person said the unveiling would be a disappointment to sleuths that are eager for bombshell new evidence about the you know, the billionaire psycho connection to prominent political and business leaders. Anyway, the client list included is in the initial release, which was compiled compiled into binders described as Phase one of the Epstein files.

clients it's sitting on my desk. Now, that's that's been a directive of President Trump. You know, still nobody really knew what this guy did for work. We just knew that he was filthy rich. Of course, the Lolita Express and everything else that has been public now for a long time, and hopefully soon thereafter we'll get to the bottom. We'll get the release of the JFK files, the RFK files, the MLK files. Why has all of this been hidden

from the public since the nineteen sixties. Tell me, tell me why that makes sense in any way, And the answer is obvious, it does not. Trump's Education Department is investigating civil rights violations ignored by Joe Biden. Nearly one hundred anti Semitic violence and harassment cases not resolved under the Biden administration. Almost seventy of them occurred after the Hamas attack on Israel and related to elementary secondary post

secondary schools. According to the Trump Department of Education, they announced these investigations, which I'm glad this cabinet meeting has gone very very viral from yesterday and that the government shrinking efforts will now go all across government. Will get into more detail on that, and achieving a trillion dollar debt reduction requires savings of four billion dollars a day from now until the end of September, and Elon must

saying that we can get that done. The President went into great specificity in detail today about what is emerging as a deal. He doesn't want to go in his case, get over his skis either there hasn't been a deal made.

to help with the safety, security and rebuilding efforts. The mineral deal will also be a fifty to fifty deal. We're going to help America is going to help with its technology to extract these rare earth minerals, and that would first pay back America for all the money and the weaponry that was given to Ukraine over time. But more importantly, it will give money to Ukraine to allow them a time and effort to rebuild. I do believe that the US will maintain maximum you know, recognize as

US gave Ukraine a significant financial contribution. I mean it almost became a proxy war. But anyway that there is an agreement on the rare earth mineral deal, which means that Ukraine in the United States will be closer than they've ever been. And then of course Europe has to

do their part to protect their continent. The Poland is scrambling air defenses as Russia strikes western Ukraine and the US is flying nuclear capable B fifty two bombers off of Russian borders on the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine. Does Donald Trump want an escalation of the war? No, we all anyone with a brain wants war in Europe and war in the Middle East to come to an end.

Are two things happening simultaneously. Russia's economy is suffering and Gordon Chang made an interesting observation to John Solomon's just Thenews dot Com that China's espionage activity against the US, as well as the country's business and economic policies, are designed to weaken what Beijing sees as their chief rival. The American people need to understand the nature of the challenge. China wants to take down the US because they believe

we are an existential threat. And Chang told just the News that China's reported economic growth of five percent is probably inflated and that President Chi and his refusal to rely on domestic consumption means that there is a potential for tariffs that would have a significant effect. And Donald Trump addressed the issue of a reciprocal tariffs once again today and that is going to be a big component

in preventing countries from taking advantage of US. We had a caller from Canada the other day, and I want to be friends with Canada. I like Canada, but if the people of Canada, you know, rely on the United States for the bulk of their national security and defense, and then they're not paying their fair share to NATO, and they're not doing enough to control their borders and stop the influx of illegal immigrants and drugs into our country,

then they're not being good neighbors. And the idea that America is even giving them, you know, billions of dollars on an annual basis. Why are we giving them billions of dollars? Why did they have tariffs on a lot of American products like dairy and you know, agriculture and poultry, et cetera. They won't allow American seeds to be imported into their country. Why why are they putting tariffs on our products? I mean, the idea if you want if you believe in free and fair trade, then you believe

in free and fair trade. It's really that simple anyway. So we're going to get into all of that. There's a lot of coverage today of Gene Hackman and his wife have been found dead. I'm not exactly sure what's going on there. Anyway, we got a lot of ground to cover today. We will cover it all. We will also get in your calls. Eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn is our number. Look at all the they keep

finding Trump's hut. Secretary Scott Turner announced that he was eliminating costly Obama and Biden era federal zoning rules that Trump worn would destroy suburban neighborhoods. The affirmatively the affirmatively furthering fair housing rule conditioned millions of dollars worth of community block grants from hud on the completion of a

lengthy demographic analysis. To get money, localities had to certify that there were no disparities by ray, religion, sex, nationality, disability, and it goes on and on and on, and basically his racial quotas as far as I interpret it and.

dead people. Thirty one million. Oh, no need for Doze. The Trump State Department has identified sixty billion dollars in grants that could be eliminated. Thank goodness, John Roberts stopped this court order on foreign payments by a lower Biden appointed judge.

I'm very Keto friendly, mostly meat and eggs. By the way, price eggs are going up, although the Agricultural Secretary did say that they are coming up of the plan for at least in the short term to import eggs because this is more related not to inflation but the ABM flu issue. But I love to cook. I love to cook meat, I love to cook fish. I love to cook it all. I started as a cook in a

restaurant I was thirteen. I wish I had chef. I Q since I wouldn't have made as many mistakes as I did, but I was learning, and I learned pretty well. It's such great technology, and it ensures that whatever you're cooking, if you're cooking steaks and burgers and chicken and pork chops and pork ribs and fish, it'll come out to your preferred outcome every single time, no matter how you cook it. You can cook it in a deep friary, grill it roasted, bake it broil, it doesn't matter. It'll

come out to your preferred outcome. You simply take a wireless probe. That's all it is. Is like a toothpick, a little thicker than a toothpick. You put it in your food. Then you go to the chef iq app, the easiest app you've ever opened in your life. It'll tell you when to turn your meat over. It'll tell you when your meat is done, and it stops and ends all confusion, eliminates all risk, and every meal you

cook will be served with confidence. Your friends, your neighbors, your family, they're all going to think that you went to culinary school. You're going to be such a great chef. They're all going to want you to cook and you're gonna enjoy doing it because you're going to be the perfect cook, the master chef. Anyway, it's very inexpensive. You find it at chefiq dot com. Mention my name, Hannity and you get a fifteen percent discount. But I wish

I'd thought of this product, I really do. Is that amazing?

of anything. It just gives it gives the FBI and the dj a roadmap, hopefully to learn more information to get to the bottom of what they have identified in this Phase one report today two hundred and fifty four, what they believe to be victims, what they're calling victims, and get to the bottom of it. I mean I would hope we can, you know, agree that that's a good thing. But it doesn't mean just because somebody's name

is on it that they're guilty of anything. This guy seems like he was obsessed with celebrity and obsessed with money.

and Dan and everybody there. I don't I'm going to miss a million names that you guys are there, and that you do it at you know, great personal cost and sacrifice financially and an opportunity costs and the expense of maintaining two homes in many cases, and up rooting your kids and sending them to the new schools.

just go in and speak to the president. And I walk in and there's screens everywhere the transition teams sitting there, you know, Howard Lutnik was there and many other members, and the President looked at me and he said, so, what are you going to do in the White House? And I said, no, sir, I'm not going. And he said and why are you not going? And I gave him my reasons, and he said, so what are you

going to do for me in the White House? And it was you know, you're negotiating with the best negotiator. But it was a blessing. Everything he's pushed me to do has been so tremendous, and I just hope I can give this country one ounce of what they deserve in my time here.

Do you think I'm wrong?

but it affected such a bigger thing. Mistakes were so high, and there were days that you would ask me how it looked in the courtroom when you couldn't be there yourself, and you were for many you know, supporting us every single day. But I was always honest with you. I said, I don't know, I'm nervous, I'm worried. And you know, you can know you have a perfect case. You could know your client did nothing wrong. But we were hailed into the worst states, in the worst ags and the

worst das. We had DOJ officials coming in fighting against us, and it is a blessing. And I think that's why the energy here is so tremendous, and that's why it was kind of an easy ask. I thought back, and I remember talking to my family and saying, I'm not sure what to do. But when the president asks you to serve, and I serve at the pleasure of the President for the American people, you do so. And you know, you can say you're a patriot all you want. You

can fight the fight. But when it comes time to really put in the work as we did the last four years and we're about to do for the next four there is no better example than President Trump. I mean, the man's been through true hell true, I mean it really has been.

the presumption of innocence before being proven guilty. When it comes to the Epstein case, names have come up in the past, like let's see Prince Andrew and who else for crying out loud, Bill Clinton and Bill Gates, and those names have come up, but it doesn't mean that they did anything wrong. So I want to be very clear in this phase one what we are discovering in what Pam Bondi, an FBI director Cashptello released, shows they believe they've identified two hundred and fifty four victims, many

of them under age. And then there is a list of famous people's names on the list, not that they have done anything wrong, but they had contact with this guy Epstein, including like Alec Baldwin and Mayor Bloomberg, Ellie Wizzelle, Naomi Campbell, Angie Dickinson.

we cannot provide everything. Also for the anonymity of the victims, frankly first and foremost, and then there's a rolodex attack, things like United airline lines, to security people, any contacts that he has, those are really the tranches of the first phase of dump. But we did say we would we would show it. We have shown it. Nobody should be assumed to have been partaking an illegal activity just because they're on a list in a rolodex. Of course,

I mean I have two thousand contacts. That doesn't mean that if I do something wrong, they've done something wrong. But there's flight logs and information that a lot of people wanted to see, and we are transparent. We have a Department of Justice that now operates as a Department of Justice that will vet and proceed with caution, but with vigor.

However they they certainly I would hope would want to know when you identify two hundred and fifty four victims, and some of them are underage, and you have personal, firsthand knowledge of a flight and what you might have seen might be valuable information to the FBI because the previous FBI under Director Ray, and my understanding is they have video footage, I r S records and that the FBI previously forwarded the effort to be transparent. And again,

I'm just looking for those people. I'm just assuming they're innocent, and I'm but I but I think it's important for the investigation part of it to find out, you know, what did they know, what did they see, and you know,

what was their relationship with them, et cetera. And I'd also like to get to the bottom of how he committed suicide with a bed that was close to the ground the way he did, and why the cameras weren't working, why the prison guards that were supposed to be there just were mi ia at the time when it was needed.

the way he died, as every American curiosity and skepticism. Frankly, like you said, I am not rushing to judge anybody, but I do think that we have to do we have to go through the process, and we have to do so in a way that makes Americans feel safe again, makes Americans feel Americans feel like we're not just going to target you because you're some rich guy that was on a Rolodex, but more importantly, that we are going to target when we do find that people were raping minors,

that we will hold them accountable. That is, there is no excuse if that is discovered, if there is an evidence to bring a case, I assume that Pam BONDI will do.

in my portfolio. They have a special place in hell for people like that. And if you partook in that knowingly, and you were going on trips solely for the reason or for any part of the reason to have sex with miners on an island remotely and think that you were going to pay with that, that is not happening in this country. But you know him liking famous people, Sure, him wanting to hang out with famous people. Sure, we

see it all the time. It's funny. It's usually people with power that like to be around people with more power, people with more money, people that can get them photographs. And this guy definitely kept a sort of I think, look from what I've seen from the paintings hanging in his home that we know he had, you know, painting of Bill Clinton, an address right in his entry. He obviously had a fascination and an infatuation with famous people.

And watching it is just makes me smile every day because the alternative was not a good one.
