It's all coming out, Donald. Even your war crimes in your catastrophic and disastrous war against Iran. It's not going to distract the people from your coverup of the Epstein files. And now Donald Trump's throwing tantrums saying, I thought that this war was going to distract from my dark past. No, Donald, your dark past is surfacing and people are getting closer and closer. Shout out to Democrats on the House Oversight Committee who continue to push forward and shout out to some Republicans as well, like Thomas Massie and others who are pushing forward. So what we're learning now is Donald Trump is considering firing Pam Bondi. Donald Trump thought that his Attorney General Pam Bondi can make this all go away, that Donald Trump's dark past, the Epstein files, the coverup of the child sex trafficking ring would all just disappear, that the files could be hidden, that people wouldn't ask questions. But Tick tock, Donald, your time is up and nothing you can do can distract We the People. So the latest reporting from the New York Times is that the potential termination of Donald Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi is imminent. The New York Times report that Donald Trump is now talking with lots of his staff about getting rid of Pam Bondi because of the way she botched the coverup of the Epstein files and botched the coverup of Donald Trump's dark past.

00:01:36

And Donald Trump has not made his final decision, but he is now leaning to replace Pam Bondi with Lee Zeldin, the EPA administrator. Now, this comes as we've now learned about hard drives that had been hidden by Epstein's private investigators. We've learned about DEA investigative files of not just a sex trafficking ring, but a money laundering drug trafficking ring running adjacent to Epstein's sex trafficking ring, and that that's being potentially covered up by Donald Trump's Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanch. And now even James Comer, James Comer, the MAGA Republican sycophant who heads the House Oversight Committee, who chairs it right now, even he says, well, we all admit that the DOJ has done a really bad job. Like, we all know that Pam Bondi and the DOJ has screwed up. So Pam Bondi's deposition is supposed to take place. She's been subpoenaed for April 14th. Remember that stunt she pulled 2 weeks ago where in 24 hours she's like, I'm gonna go visit the House Oversight Committee and I'm gonna voluntarily give information. And Democrat Ranking Member Garcia's like, get me the hell out of here. We're leaving. The Democrats are leaving. This is a setup as a way that Pam Bondi's gonna try to avoid testifying under oath where she's been subpoenaed.

00:03:05

'Cause she's gonna say, well, I just showed up already and I volunteered to testify. And so I think that was her and Donald Trump trying to come up with a plan for her to get out of her subpoena deposition. And I think the plan is that if she can't wiggle out of that deposition, if she can't try to, uh, escape it, which she's ordered to appear at, I think she's gone by April 14th, although we will see. But here's what James Comer had to say. Play this clip.

00:03:33

Well, I think the Justice Department has botched this.

00:03:35

I don't think anyone in America Republican or, you know, avid Trump supporter would defend the way that this has been rolled out. Having said that, it's very complicated because of all the lawsuits. Well, what about Nancy Mace, MAGA Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace? Well, our Pablo Monriquez, one of our White House and Washington, D.C. correspondents, D.C. correspondents, he was in the Capitol building. He caught up with Nancy Mace and he said, Do you support a special prosecutor? Here, play this clip right here.

00:04:10

Is it time for, uh, a special prosecutor for the Epstein files to get the rest of the files out?

00:04:16

I've always supported a special prosecutor. I've always supported getting all the files out. Um, you know, I think the biggest question is why didn't more people go to jail? And I think it's not just for sex trafficking or prostitution. I mean, there are financial crimes that appears in the files. Um, you know, and it just goes to show there's a two-tiered system of justice, one for the rich and powerful and then one for everybody else.

00:04:42

Now I want to cut to Scott McFarland, the head of the Midas Touch, uh, Washington, D.C. bureau right now. Scott McFarland is our chief D.C. correspondent. He talks to us about what House investigators have learned about the secret hard drives from Jeffrey Epstein's home that's unaccounted for. Tick tock, Donald. We're gonna get those hard drives. We're gonna get that DEA file. There's nothing you can do to hide your dark past. We're gonna get it. Scott McFarland, take it away.

00:05:20

Hey, I had some breaking news and wanted to get it to you as efficiently as possible. According to a new investigation in a series of letters released just now by the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, there may be some Jeffrey Epstein hard drives from his home that still are unaccounted for, still are somewhere, which raises an awful lot of questions and the prospect of new information coming out. According to a series of letters that Robert Garcia of California has sent to some private investigative firms, Darren Indyk, an Epstein attorney who spoke with the committee in recent days, indicated that those drives may have been in the possession at some point of PI firms, and that they still haven't figured out a chain of custody or exactly where they are now. So in these requests, Congressman Garcia and the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee are asking these private investigators to sit for some questions, come in and talk, and to either find, turn over, or account for any evidence about Epstein that may be in their possession. See what the response is to all this. But you see the bottom line, don't you, that, that These Epstein questions persist.

00:06:26

New questions surface. And if anybody is trying to turn the page on the Epstein controversy, if not crisis in the administration, there are new hurdles every day turning those pages. And we have another one to conclude the week.

00:06:41

Now, I don't think the White House is doing themselves any favors when they post— instead of OnlyFans, they post OnlyFarms. Just think about it. As Donald Trump is screwing over royally Farmers, right? If you're a farmer, you know that your input costs have gone up, up, up. Donald Trump has shut down export markets to you, and now you can't get your fertilizer because of Donald Trump's catastrophic and unlawful war in the Middle East. And now Donald Trump's doing porn jokes. OnlyFans, except he goes OnlyFarms. Curious how American farmers are benefiting right now, or exactly how much each state has saved? Dude, you've had to bail them out to the tune of billions of dollars before. You have to bail them out again. You're crushing farmers, and now making their job compared to like the porn site OnlyFans. Like, dude, what are you doing? As Congressmember Thomas Massie says, can you arrest Epstein's co-conspirators instead of riffing off a damn porn site? What the heck are you all doing? Also, Pablo Monriquez from the Midas Touch Network, well, he caught up with the Democratic ranking member of the House Oversight Committee. Robert Garcia. Here's what Congressmember Garcia had to say.

00:07:56

Let's play this clip.

00:07:58

Congressman, what do you make of, or what's your message to Americans who say that the reason we're in the war with Iran right now is to distract from the Epstein files? Well, first, everything that Donald Trump does is to distract from the Epstein files, but also he's given no mission. We have no idea why we're there. He wouldn't admit it's a war. American, we know American troops have died Civilians are dying. The amount of money we're spending, we could fund healthcare and public schools and infrastructure in this country. And so it's time for Donald Trump to actually release the files and end this war right now. And do you think it's time for— does Congress have the power to compel a special prosecutor perhaps to— Absolutely. We should do everything that we can to get the release of the files. Half of them have been hidden. Donald Trump's been trying to cover up the Epstein files from day one. Pam Bondi should be held in contempt. She needs to come in front of our committee and testify. And most importantly, he's gonna continue with these distractions. They've gotta end.

00:08:53

All right, let me tell you about something I've actually been using lately, OneSkin. I'm someone who's tried a lot of skincare over the years, and what first caught my attention about this brand is that it was founded by a team of PhD longevity scientists. This isn't just another moisturizer. It's skincare built on real research. I've been using their products with the OS-1 peptide, and what I like about it is how simple it is to add into your routine. The texture is great. It absorbs quickly and it doesn't feel heavy or greasy. After a few weeks, I noticed my skin just looked healthier and smoother overall. That OS1 Eye Topical and OS1 Face have become my daily go-tos. What makes OneSkin different is that their patented OS1 peptide targets senescent cells, which are a major driver of wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. That's actually been validated in multiple peer-reviewed clinical studies. The products are dermatologist-tested, safe for sensitive skin, and free from over 1,500 harsh ingredients. Born from over a decade of longevity research, OneSkin's OS-1 peptide is proven to target the visible signs of aging, helping you unlock your healthiest skin now and as you age.

00:10:21

Let's dig in a little bit more into this New York Times article. Trump has discussed firing Attorney General Pam Bondi and replacing her with Lee Zeldin. Donald Trump has grown frustrated with Pam Bondi and her failed leadership because of the Epstein files. He's floated Lee Zeldin. While he hasn't made any decision, he showed up with Pam Pam Bondi on Wednesday to the Supreme Court arguments where, oh, Donald Trump got absolutely humiliated. He's sitting there, Pam Bondi's there, the Supreme Court justices are there. Donald Trump did the executive order to try to overturn the Constitution's 14th Amendment allowance, or the 14th Amendment, which provides for birthright citizenship. If you're born in the US, you become a citizen by an executive order. Donald Trump's like, migrants can't get birthright citizenship. I hereby decreed in my executive order. Well, Donald, you haven't read the Constitution. Even the right-wing justices mocked Donald Trump. And Donald Trump walked out of the Supreme Court oral argument after the Solicitor General, John Sauer, basically Trump's lawyer, argued. And the Supreme Court were just laying into him. And Trump Chief Justice Roberts was like, have you Read the Constitution? Do you know what the Constitution— what world are you all living in?

00:11:44

Trump regime, even the right-wing justices, by the way, even the justices Trump appointed— Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett— they were not buying what Trump was selling. Pam Bondi was trying to— was telling Donald Trump he was going to win it. Donald Trump's like, what you doing, Pam Bondi? Trump storms out. Look, we have the, uh, the sketches. Here's Donald Trump, here's John Sauer. The Supreme Court's like, uh, Donald, you're dumb, you're an idiot, what are you doing? You're a traitor. What are you doing? Get out of here. And then Donald Trump— they didn't say that. I'm exaggerating that part.

00:12:14

Okay.

00:12:14

But maybe they were thinking that. But then, then Donald Trump just jets out of the court. There he is running away by the time the ACLU lawyer made her argument. Anyway, back to Pam Bondi, her potentially being fired. It says in this New York Times article, Trump has been souring her on months the way she's handled the Epstein files. Also, he thinks she's not aggressive enough. And going after his political enemies. Her deposition is scheduled for April 14th, and so we'll see if she gets fired. But people expect that she's the next to go and that she'll go pretty, pretty soon. We will make sure we'll be covering that every step of the way. A few data points though I'll point out. So, you know, you know, Donald Trump, in my opinion, has such a guilty conscience, right? I mean, actually, he doesn't have that much of a guilty conscience, but he projects that he's not— I should repeat that he doesn't have a guilty conscience. He knows what he's done. And I think the thing that he's worried about, let's just put it this way, he's worried about not getting into heaven. And he keeps on repeating, I'm not going to get into heaven.

00:13:18

I think I'm not going to get into heaven. I'm not going to get into heaven over and over again. And then yesterday he called in his faith leader who tried to, like, soothe him. And she's like, just like Jesus, you were just like this person. You were falsely accused, Donald. You were falsely accused. Here, play this clip.

00:13:36

And Mr. President, no one has paid the price like you have paid the price. It almost cost you your life. You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It's a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us, but it didn't end there for him, and it didn't end there for you.

00:14:01

Then by the way, in Iran in the past 24 hours, you had people on the streets throughout Iranian cities, and this is how they were describing their protest. They had millions of people out protesting the Epstein coalition airstrikes and missile fire. That's how they were referring to it. We are protesting the Epstein-class missile strikes and the Epstein-class war and the Epstein War. That's how they're talking about it in Iran right now. A few other data points. I'll show you Thomas Massie leaving the Capitol building the other day. Pablo Manriquez, Midas Touch DC correspondent, caught up with him. Here's what he said. Let's play it.

00:14:40

Mr. Massie, quick Epstein Files question, if you don't mind.

00:14:42

Sure.

00:14:42

Is it time for Congress to perhaps appoint a special prosecutor to get these files out? Is that something that's realistic, or what do you make of that?

00:14:51

Hmm.

00:14:52

I think Pam Bondi Pam Bondi just needs to follow the law.

00:14:56

Keep it simple. Yeah.

00:14:58

I mean, the special prosecutors and the subpoenas and things like that, that's what they used to do before they passed laws. I mean, we've literally passed a law. And if Pam Bondi doesn't follow this law, her successor could prosecute her for that. So we're in new territory. And I think it's incumbent upon her to just follow the law.

00:15:18

Any updates at all about when we might be able to see the rest of these documents that haven't been released yet?

00:15:24

I don't know.

00:15:24

We still— there's— they're quietly releasing some things and unredacting things. They say that they're done, but they're not really done.

00:15:32

Got it. Thank you, Congressman. Appreciate it.

00:15:35

Digging in, by the way, into this DEA investigation that I told you about before, as Senator Wyden explains, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanchard, Trump's former personal criminal lawyer who was also responsible for Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a cushy club fed, has intervened to block the DEA from providing details of a mysterious Epstein investigation to my finance committee. Recent reporting revealed that Epstein was one of several targets of a big drug trafficking investigation a decade ago. DEA has key info. Based on what we know, Epstein was likely pumping his victims, young women and girls, with incapacitating drugs to facilitate abuse. By the way, hat tip Jason Leopold at Bloomberg. He's a great reporter. He's been covering Epstein every step of the way. According to a confidential tip received by my staff, DEA Administrator Terry Cull was ready to provide an unredacted copy of the memorandum, but you stepped in, Todd Blanch, to prevent him from doing so, Wyden wrote. Your alleged interference in this matter is highly disturbing. The investigation was spun off from a 2011 DEA OCDETF operation called Chain Reaction that targeted drug trafficking rings and individuals associated with organized crime families. Separately, on Monday, Senator Whitehouse, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee, sent a letter to Bondi, Kash Patel, and Terry Cole and DEA administrators requesting records and details about another OCDET operation that surfaced in the Epstein files that was also cited in Bloomberg reporting.

00:17:11

That operation, known as Tripnot, was launched by OCDET and the FBI a few months before Epstein was arrested and charged with So it's sex trafficking. This was a money laundering and human drug trafficking investigation. The money laundering part was key, and that's being covered up. And Epstein's co-conspirators in money laundering, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, all still being covered up. Millions of documents, if not tens of millions of documents, still being covered up by the Department of Justice. And finally, here's what Donald Trump said about FBI Director Kash Patel the other day. Let's play it.

00:17:53

So before we leave, I want to thank Attorney General Pam Bondi, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. These are great people. Chief of the National Guard Bureau General Stephen Nordhaus, FBI Director Kash Patel. Wonderful guy, actually. You had to get to know him. Once you get to know him, he's He's a wonderful guy. I've known, I've known him too long, right? He's a good guy.

00:18:18
