Kash Patel's Transparency Claims Get Smacked With A Community Note On X · Beyond The Horizon

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. Kash Patel has always been a walking billboard
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: for everything wrong with the political hype machine. The guy
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: talks like he's some hardened warrior who's been through hell
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and back, when really he's just another suit playing dress up.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Every time he opens his mouth, It's like watching someone
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: rehearse lines they practiced in the mirror before going on
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Fox News. I mean, you could practically hear the producer
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: in his earpiece telling him when to squint, when to smirk,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and when to pretend he's about to drop a truth bomb.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: And the crowd eats it up because they're desperate for someone,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: anyone to finally stop lying to them. Except that he's
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: not the guy, and he's never been. He's just another
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: actor reading a script written by the same old hands
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that have been lying to us forever. And every time
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: he pretends to be the hero, he proves he's really
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: just another cog in the machine. The whole day one
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: release the Epstein Files act was honestly embarrassing in hindsight.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: He said it like he was delivering a trailer for
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the next Marvel movie. That smug little grin, like he
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: was walking around holding the nuclear launch codes in his pocket.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Glenn Beck hyping him up like they had just unlocked
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the Ark of the Covenant. And for what? For the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: same tired political theater that we've been choking on for years?
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: They dangle hope in front of people who actually give
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: a damn about justice and then yank it away like
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the fishermen yanking the dollar away in the old Geico commercials.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: They played survivors. They played the public. They played everyone
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: who wanted the truth. And then what happened when the
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: time came to put action behind the talk? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: The guy who was pounding his chest and yelling about
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: transparency suddenly turns into a church mouse when he's asked
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: any real questions. Catherine Herridge asked him a real question. Suddenly,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: he couldn't commit. Suddenly, he needed to review the situation
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and consult legal channels and be responsible. Responsible after you
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: promised the world you were going to rip the doors
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: off the vault? That is the exact blueprint of fraud.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Talk big when there's nothing at risk. Shrink into a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: corner when someone demands an answer that can't be cushioned
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: by applause. And the worst part? He did it with
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: that same little smirk, like he thought nobody noticed the switch.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Like we were all too stupid to catch on. Like
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: we're just background extras in the movie of his life.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: But of course people did notice, and they're pissed. Because
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you don't get to run around pretending you're some champion
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: of truth, and then fold when it matters most. You
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: don't get to use the Epstein survivors as props for
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: tough guy branding, and then ghost the second you're asked
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: for commitment. And look, it's not just about Kash Patel
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: like I've been telling you for a long time. Bro
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: is just a symptom of the bigger disease. The whole
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: entire Trump orbit is packed with these cosplay soldiers who
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: play patriots on TV until they're actually asked to do
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: something real. Every last one of them melts like cheap
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: chocolate when the lights get bright. They all swear they're
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: going to drain the swamp while bathing in the swamp
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: water like it's holy oil. It's a never-ending parade of fakes.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Because let's be honest here. If they wanted the Epstein
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: files released, they would have released them already. Trump could
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: have done it with the stroke of a pen and didn't.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Patel could have stood firm and didn't. Instead, they're all
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: hiding behind excuses like scared interns who forgot their homework. Meanwhile,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: hundreds of survivors and the public are waiting for real
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: accountability and keep getting slapped in the face by theatrics.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: So when people ask how can anyone trust Kash Patel,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the answer is simple. You can't. And you shouldn't. And
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: that's because he backtracks every time it counts. If anything,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: he's a mascot for the whole clown show. The face
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of empty promises, dressed up as a rebellion. A hollow drum,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: loud as hell, but nothing on the inside. And when
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the chips are down, they always protect themselves and their
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: bosses first. You saw it the second he refused to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: commit to full disclosure. That wasn't hesitation, that was obedience.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: That was loyalty to power and to Trump, instead of
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: loyalty to the truth. And that's the real problem. Not
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: just Patel, but a system that trains people to lick
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: boots instead of stand up. So yeah, the cover-up is
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: alive and well, and it's bipartisan. And it's protected by
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: every single smiling fraud who goes on TV pretending to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: give a damn. Patel is just the latest mascot for
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the great American con job. And the more they talk,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the clearer it gets that none of them are ever
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: going to save us. Because at the end of the day,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: it's not incompetence. It's strategy. It's deliberate. It's coordinated. And
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: every time someone like Kash Patel backpedals, it confirms what
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: we already know. They're terrified of what is actually in
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: those files. Today's article is from Newsweek and the headline,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Epstein Files. Massey accuses Patel of troubling deflection on release.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: This article was authored by Shane Croucher. Republican Representative Thomas Massey,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: who spearheaded the petition that led to the House vote
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: on the full release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, accused
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: FBI Director Kash Patel of a troubling deflection when answering
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: whether the administration would meet its 30-day deadline to make
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: those documents public. And there's no way that they're going
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to meet the deadline. We're not getting all these files.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Are you crazy? There's going to be excuses. There's going
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to be reasons why. And of course, they're going to say, well,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: this is national security. We have to make sure that
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: we're protecting the country. That opens up a whole ass
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: other conversation, though. How could Jeffrey Epstein and his trafficking
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: ring have anything to do with national security if he
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: wasn't an asset? Somebody needs to explain that, and they
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: need to explain it with crayons like I'm five years old, obviously,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: because I have no idea how anyone on the planet
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: can try and frame Jeffrey Epstein's bullshit as national security.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: if he wasn't an asset. Massey, in a post on X,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: was reacting to an interview with Patel by the journalist
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Catherine Herridge, who asked him directly if the FBI would
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: meet the deadline. Patel replied that the FBI and the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Department of Justice are committed to producing what they could lawfully, legally,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and cited court orders that prohibit the disclosure of information.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, what? A bunch of jargon, a bunch of nonsense,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: a bunch of B.S., What he really means is, you're
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: not getting shit, and that's the end of it. They're
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: going to do their very best to make sure that
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: this order is not followed through with. Now, they're going
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to give some documents, of course, right? But I have
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of doubts about this administration following through with
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: anything that they say they're going to do. The congressman
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: from Kentucky... named the FBI's FD-302 forms, which summarize interviews
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: with witnesses, as of particular interest. Massey, who believes that
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: there are previously unknown names of individuals related to the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Epstein case within those forms, said the victims' names could
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: be redacted from them before they're released. Well, yeah, that's
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: what we should be doing. The 302s are very important.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: It shows us who was being talked to, who wasn't
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: being talked to, and what kind of investigation was being
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: kicked off behind the scenes. And we all know that
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: they weren't doing the right thing. Because if they were,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: there would have been a lot more arrests. This would
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: have been RICO. And that's a whole other conversation that
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: we're definitely going to get into. If Jeffrey Epstein wasn't
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: an asset, this would have been a RICO case. There
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: is no doubt about it. And when you talk to lawyers,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: they'll tell you the same thing. I mean, look at
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: how they tried to do Diddy. And there's no doubt
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: that Diddy should be in prison. But was he running
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: a RICO operation? at least in comparison to what Epstein
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: was doing? We're talking about apples and fucking chicken parmesan here.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Very different things. And if anyone should have been charged
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: with RICO, it's Jeffrey Epstein. Newsweek contacted Massey's office and
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the FBI via email outside of normal business hours for comment.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Normal business hours? What, the FBI's closed? They take some
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: time off? No wonder shit's all screwed up. Epstein, a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: former friend of U.S. President Donald Trump, was a wealthy
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and well-connected financier convicted of child sex offenses. He maintained
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: an elite network of powerful contacts across politics, business, law,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: and academia even after his conviction. Epstein died by suicide, allegedly,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: in his New York City jail cell in 2019 while
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: awaiting trial. Survivors of Epstein's abuse believe that the government
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: has kept hidden the full extent of what it knows
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: about his activities and with whom. leaving many unanswered questions.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: The Trump administration pledged full transparency of the Epstein files
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: but delays to their release and the president playing down
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: their significance frustrated his supporters who suspect a cover-up. Well, yeah.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: How could you not suspect a cover-up? I mean, on
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: what planet are you living where any of this is okay?
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Where any of this is acceptable? Trump signed the Epstein
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Files Transparency Act on November 19th the same day it
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: passed the Senate. Trump clashed with Massey over the House
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: petition that led to the act, before backing down and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: telling Republicans to vote for it when it became clear
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that the bill would pass anyway. Imagine trying to take
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: credit for this if you were Trump the way he did.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: What a clown, bro. You didn't even want these files
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: to be released, but all of a sudden, well, I
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: told the Republicans, no, you were getting mollywhopped, bro. You
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: didn't have any votes. Well, maybe one. But besides that,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: nobody wants to put a no down for something like
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: this and I think people are coming around to the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: fact that Trump is a lame duck something I've been
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: talking about for a while now and when you're part
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: of the insider baseball of politics you know what that
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: means for a congressman you know what it means for
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: everybody else They're looking for the next thing, the next guy.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: They're looking to make sure that they're not going to
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: go down with the ship, if you will. And that's
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: why you see a lot of the people who are
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: breaking with Trump when it comes to Congress and the Senate.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: That's why you're seeing it. Because they don't want to
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: be caught with that hot potato when the music stops.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: You know, Trump isn't going to be on the ticket
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: next time most of these people run. So they're starting
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: to think about the future. And that's a good thing.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Its passage set the clock ticking on a 30-day deadline
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: for Attorney General Pam Bondi to make publicly available in
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: a searchable and downloadable format all unclassified records, documents, communications,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and investigative materials in the possession of the Department of Justice,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: the various Epstein investigation files per the Act. And there's
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: going to be tons and tons of files that we're
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: not going to get any sort of look at. Wait
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and see. If you think we're going to get transparency here,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: you're going to be sorely mistaken, because there's no transparency coming.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Not in the sense that a lot of people think
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: it might be coming. What, this is going to be
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the first time that the Justice Department slow-walked an order
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: from Congress? The Act gives the DOJ some grounds for
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: withholding certain files or information within them, such as anything
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: that identifies a victim or a child witness, images that
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: show injury, abuse, or death, or details that would jeopardize
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: an active federal investigation, or a prosecution. When Herridge asked
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Patel on her straight-to-the-point show if the deadline would be met,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: he replied, we're working with our partners at the DOJ
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: to produce, as we have always committed to producing, what
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: we can lawfully, legally produce. That sure is a change
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: from the whole day one release. We're going to have
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: a day one release here. We're going to have all
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the Epstein files released the day I become so-and-so. Man,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: shut up. Just shut up. And they're out here crying
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: about Comey? Talk about two peas in a pod, Comey
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: and Patel. And that's the best we can do as
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: a country for the FBI? People like that? We're cooked, folks.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but we're cooked. And at
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: this point, we have to ask ourselves, are these institutions
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: even worth saving? Because as far as I can see,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of them aren't. And we will continue to
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: meet those metrics, Patel continued. reminding the public that there
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: are court orders that are in place, protective orders, orders
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to seal in place that legally prohibit the disclosure of
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: information related to any investigation when there is a court
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: order of that fashion. So we're working with the DOJ
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: to see if we can produce anything more. In other words,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: they don't want to produce anything. They want court orders.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: They want to make sure that everything gets bogged up
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: so that they can run the clock out. I've told
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: you this from the very beginning. They're counting on you
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: giving up, on you being exhausted, on you saying, you
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: know what, there's nothing we can do. We're never going
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: to have transparency. We might as well pack it in.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: That's what they're hoping for. And what I'm hoping for
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: is that you don't give it to them. Because guess what?
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Look what's already been accomplished with the pressure campaign that
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: we've put on them. And so now is not the
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: time to back off. Now's the time to hit the gas.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: All right, everybody, that's going to do it for this one.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people out there aren't
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: big fans of commercials and ads, and I get it.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not either. So if you want to get rid
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: of those ads, you can head over to Spreaker, where
• 13:54
