What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. As you can imagine, the vast majority of people are not happy with how the DOJ has went about their business when it comes to releasing the Epstein files that they're required to release per the law. And now a new poll is reporting that only 6% of people are happy with the way that the DOJ has went about their business when it comes to releasing these files. And I think 6%

1:02is generous. Who the hell is happy about this? Who thinks this is a good job? Who thinks they're doing the right thing? Who thinks they're not screwing around? I think anybody paying attention understands that all of that's happening. And I think people are tired of it. People are tired of being lied to. People are tired of being treated like they're stupid. And people are certainly tired of the powers that be protecting people like Jeffrey Epstein and his friends. So in the first article that we're going to talk about in this episode, we're going to talk about that a little bit more. And to do that, we have an article from the Hill headline 6% of Americans satisfied with amount of Epstein files released so far. This article was authored by Julia Mueller. The share of Americans who were satisfied with the amount of Jeffrey Epstein related files released so far is in the single digits new polling shows. Like I don't know how anyone could

2:03be happy. If the law says that these documents should be out by the 19th of December, well, the document should be out by the 19th of December. And the ones that you put out, they weren't even in compliance. Remember, they were supposed to explain all the redactions that were made throughout the documents. They didn't do any of that. No notations, no answers as to why. And they took it a step further even. And they continued to protect Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirators and enablers. And the sad truth is, there is nothing we can do to stop them. I know people don't want to hear it, but it's the truth. There is no kind of enforcement mechanism currently that anyone's even talking about that's going to force the DOJ into compliance. And I think it's telling that nobody's even talking about a special counsel because that's what's needed. If you really want to get to the bottom of this, if you really want to find out who's who, what's what, and who is involved, where the best way to do that is an independent special counsel that has the power to go all the way. Because we

3:10cannot trust the DOJ to do the right thing. We can't trust them to police themselves. And obviously, Congress has no oversight. What did the DOJ just tell Congress? They told them about the fuck out. So if Congress has no oversight, that means you and I have no oversight. And in my opinion, that is unacceptable. Just 6% of Americans in a CNN survey said they're satisfied with what the federal government's released so far. In the case of Epstein, the late convicted sex offender, including 12% of Republicans and just 3% each of Democrats and independents. Yo, I don't know one independent. Who's happy about this? Not one. And I spend my time with a lot of people who are what you would call independent. They have some views that are to the left, some to the right, and it just depends. But I think it's been uniform with everybody I know in my real life when it comes to these files. And the answer that everybody has is they want transparency. Everybody feels like they're being

4:15bullshitted. And now more people are thinking that there's more to the story than there ever was. And guess what? Those people, they're right. There's a lot more to this story than you folks have been pulled. And myself and a lot of other people have been screaming that from the rooftops for years. And now everybody else is starting to catch on. And the more they cover it up, the more convinced I become. Roughly two thirds of Americans that they think the federal government is intentionally holding back Epstein related information that should come out. Compared to 16% who said the government is doing the best to release all the information it can. The new poll numbers come roughly a month after the Justice Department's mid-December deadline to release all unclassified records and documents connected to Epstein. Trump, who has been referenced in the documents signed legislation to spur on the file release with redactions to protect victims. More like redactions to protect your friends,

5:17redactions to protect the people that are paying the bills. Talking about this is about survivors and their privacy is absurd. None of these people care about that. The survivors are always an afterthought. That's how it's always been. And unfortunately that's the way it seems like it's going to continue to be. Imagine having some kind of Epstein related event at the White House where you're going to release the files in those White binders and you give it to influencers. You don't have survivors there. You don't have advocates there or nothing. You have influencers with White binders full of bullshit. And then you wonder why nobody trusts you. Well, could it be because you've been lying the whole entire time? Now, one million more pages on Epstein are found. DOJ is being forced to spend all of its time on this Democrat-inspired hoax. Trump posted on Truth Social shortly after the December headline when the DOJ announced more material to come. When did they say no more and work on election fraud,

6:18etc? Oh yeah, election fraud. There's been so much of that. If there was so much election fraud, where are the arrests? And that goes for everything that these people were talking about prior to taking power. No Fauci arrest? Latisha James, how'd that go? James Comey? That didn't work out so well, did it. So like usual, just a bunch of talk and no walk. And if anybody thinks that they're going to give up the Epstein files without a fight, they're crazy. The whole idea is to obstruct here and wait for a court to order them to do this once again. Because remember, the DOJ has made it clear now that they don't believe that Congress has any power of oversight. And that's terrifying, honestly, and not just for Epstein, but in general. How can the DOJ think that Congress of all people doesn't have oversight of what they're doing that's literally Congress's job? And for them to say that Congress should butt out that Congress shouldn't be involved? That is quite the statement

7:20and quite the tell from the DOJ. The DOJ earlier this month signaled that it had released less than 1% of its Epstein-related files according to CNN reporting. The CNN poll was conducted online by SSRS from January 9th through 12th among 1,209 adults. The results have a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. No matter how you chop it, not looking good for the administration. Only 6% of the people are okay with the way you're conducting your business. And you still have no desire to do the right thing. So what does that tell you? It tells you that we have an administration that feels like they don't have to justify their actions to anybody. Certainly not you, certainly not me, and certainly not the courts. So that's why I'm once again calling for a special counsel to come in and take over the

8:21whole ass investigation. Because without that, we're never going to get to the bottom of anything. All right, let's move on to the second article. And this article is from People Magazine and the headline, Giant Recreation of Birthday Message Donald Trump reportedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein displayed on National Mall. This article was authored by Meredith Kyle, a 10-foot tall recreation of the controversial birthday card that President Donald Trump reportedly sent Jeffrey Epstein, appeared on the National Mall and Washington DC on Monday, January 19th, out of the late billionaires birthday, which is today, by the way, Epstein was born on January 20th. And obviously the placement of this card coincides with that date. And they were trying to get that message across, right? That Donald Trump was a good friend to Jeffrey Epstein's and such a good friend that he sent him this intimate letter, this intimate card for his birthday. The card first became public knowledge in July of 2025 when the Wall Street Journal reported on

9:27the graphic message that Trump allegedly gave Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003. The convicted sex offender would have turned 73 on Tuesday, January 20th, but died by suicide in prison in 2019 while facing sex trafficking charges. According to the official narrative, do you really believe that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself? I mean, I guess people out there do. I certainly don't, at least not the way they're saying, a lot more going on there, but we'll get to that later on. In a follow-up interview with the Wall Street Journal at the time, Trump denied writing the letter or drawing the image, which seems to be just absolute BS. Now, of course, I can't confirm it for you. I'm not some kind of, you know, handwriting specialist or whatever, but it sure seems to me that the signature and everything matches up and it certainly matches up with their relationship, right? The kind of stuff they allegedly were talking about.

10:28So, in my opinion, this birthday card, this letter is real. Hey, it's Cole Swindell. And when I spend 200 days a year rolling down the highway, the bus can start to feel smaller than a guitar case. Everyone wonders how I stay chill while the hours crawl by. Truth is, one good luck spent on Chamba and suddenly the trip does a whole lot shorter. Finding your space even when there is a much despair. Need some chill? Let's Chamba. No purchase necessary. VGW Group Boyd were prohibited by law. 21 plus TNC supply. Sponsored by Chamba Casino. This is not me. This is a fake thing. It's a fake Wall Street Journal story. He told the outlet, I never wrote a picture in my life. I don't draw pictures of women. It's not my language. It's not my words. Meanwhile, we've seen a million different doodles that Donald Trump has made throughout the years. What he really believes is that whatever he says is just going to be believed and nobody's going to fact check it and everybody's just going to nod along like a good little MAGA.

11:33But the rest of us over here are all looking at each other like we're on acid. Like how the fuck is this even happening? And how's the guy like this able to push the narratives that he's pushing? And God forbid you disagree with him or you call him out. Before you know it, you'll have an army of people coming after you, crying about how you're going after Donald Trump. Well, guess what? Maybe you should do some of that crying about how Donald Trump is protecting Jeffrey Epstein's friends. He then sued the publication and its owners, including Fox News co-founder Rupert Murdoch for $10 billion, claiming defamation. The lawsuit is ongoing, though Trump hosted Murdoch for a dinner at the White House in October. And I have a lot of doubt that that ever progresses to a point where it even becomes discoverable. That's either going to get tossed or there's going to be some kind of settlement, something like that. But discovery, no freaking way. The Wall Street Journal initially did in print an image

12:36of the birthday message, though it was later released by lawyers for Epstein's estate to the House Oversight Committee, which has been investigating the government's management of the department and justice massive trove of Epstein files. The letter, which was reportedly part of a collection of well wishes that Colleen Maxwell assembled from Epstein's friends for his milestone birthday, features a pen drawn outline of a woman's naked body. Text within the outline features an imagined conversation between Trump and Epstein. The fictional exchange, Trump says, we have certain things in common, Jeffrey. Epstein replies, yes, we do come to think of it. Yeah, not creepier or anything, right? Totally normal to send this kind of message to a human trafficker. Enigma's never age, have you noticed that? Trump then asks Epstein, who answers, as a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you. The letter concludes, happy birthday, and may every day be another wonderful secret. Whatever the fuck that means,

13:40if that is real, which I believe it is, then Donald Trump should be explaining what he means about these secrets. Of course, he won't, and of course, he'll deny it, and of course, his water carrying horde of idiots will defend them while he does so. But everybody knows deep in their heart he's wrong, and what he's doing here is incorrect. Local DC News outlet, W-USA9, reported that a protest group called the secret handshake to credit for the installation on the National Mall, included next to the giant card, our boxes of files and markers of visitors can leave their own personal messages to the administration. Oh, I'm sure they love that. How long before they send out the National Park Police to clean this one up? The secret handshake also claimed credit for the statue of Epstein, and Trump titled Best Friends Forever, which appeared on the National Mall in September of 2025, but was quickly removed, and I'm sure this will have the same fate. Following Trump's initial denial, the internet quickly

14:42latched on to the president's claim that he never wrote a picture in his life, within minutes, online critics, dug up a variety of well-documented Trump doodles. Yo, you can't escape the internet. This isn't the old days where you can run a narrative and expect your buddies immediate to pick it up, and everybody just not along like their brain dead. That's not how it works anymore. Former Congressman Adam Kinzinger compiled several Trump sketches into a photo collage on X with the caption, Trump loves to draw, just saying. And there's no doubt that we saw all those doodles by Trump. So how can you say that he doesn't draw? That's not something he does. So stupid. Others were found on auction sites, including a 2004 city-scape skyline that was listed in auctioned off at Southbees, a sketch of the Empire State Building that sold for $16,000 at Julian's auctions, a 2005 rendition of the Manhattan skyline that went for $29,184 at Nadea Sanders auctions,

15:45and a drawing of a tree with money falling from it that sold for $8,500 at Leland Little. All of the auctioned artwork appeared to feature the president's distinctive signature. Well, doesn't that track? But I know you're just crazy if you think that he sent him this birthday card. The next step will be, well, he sent them the card, but what's the big deal? Epstein wasn't that bad of a guy? That's already how they're trending. Trump even boasted about his prolific scribbling prowess in his 2010 book, Trump never give up how I turn my biggest challenges into success. Each year I donate an autographed doodle to the doodle for hunger auction at Tavern on the Green, he wrote, it's a great event. Yeah, but sure, Trump never doodles, never draws, has no idea what drawing even means. In fact, never even picked up a pen. That's the kind of shit that he says, and people just lap it up. Well, I'm not people. And around these parts, that shit is DOA. No more gaslighting, no more bullshit,

16:49no more obfuscation, no more evasion, there is only one path forward. And it's very simple. Release the Epstein files.
