The Trump administration uses the Situation Room to go to war with people demanding the release of the Epstein files. This is just another day.

Tonight, shocking developments about high-level meetings that reportedly took place in the most secure space at the White House. I speak, of course, of the Situation Room, Washington, D.C.'s impenetrable fortress, America's most technologically advanced boardroom, used to plot our nation's riskiest strikes on the world's worst enemies: Bin Laden, Soleimani, al-Zawahiri, and now information on a new diabolical villain strategically targeted by the globe's largest superpower.
On July 17th, 2025, about a year ago, a chunk of Trump's top officials, who you see listed on your screen, led by the Vice President, filed into the White House Situation Room without the Commander-in-Chief, without President Trump. They were trying to figure out how to regain control over the growing, ugly narrative that the Trump administration was, at the very least, complicit in a cover-up for the crimes of now-dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and other predators in his orbit.
That's right. Remember this famous photo of Obama and his team during the Bin Laden raid? Now imagine instead of watching that, they're all watching an attack on the Epstein survivors. It's a little bit different now, don't you think? Yes, apparently members of the Trump administration chose the room where it happens to strategize how they could make sure that when it comes to justice for the victims, absolutely nothing happens.
Vice President Vance reportedly told the group, "This is a huge problem." And he argued that all the Epstein files should be released.
Oh, cool. It was only the person second in line to the presidency who was in that repulsive room. Awesome. Sorry, but I'm not biting on this idea that J.D. Vance was the voice of reason. And I believe exhibit B proves my point.
The report says, quote, "Vance had also floated to colleagues an extraordinary PR gambit that the White House enlist Tucker Carlson to interview Epstein's long-time girlfriend and co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell in prison." Yeah, why stop at an interview? Since this administration already helped Maxwell move to a minimum security prison, why not give the ringleader of the world's worst sex trafficking ring her own podcast so she can do a few ad reads and make some extra coin while pushing the White House's narrative that Donald Trump is totally on the side of the victims. Okay, so besides conspiring to give Ghislaine her own lane to make the president look awesome, what else went on in this room?
Here's how some of the situation room debate went down according to this Times report by Haberman and Swan. Quote, "The Vice President said he thought the president would be okay with facing the nipple related related documents arguing that Trump had been accused of worse." "I think we should put it out," he said. "It would cause people to say we're going further than we need to." Trump White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles quickly responded that the president would not in fact be okay with it.
Now I think we can all see why these discussions needed to be held in such a secure location. You know, I'm pretty confident this debate won't be featured in the next edition of our American history textbooks. And to me, that's a damn shame because we are depriving the next generation of knowing what it was truly like to be immersed in the highest levels of government during Donald Trump's presidency.

It was then Vice President Pence who declared, "I think he'd be fine with the nip stuff." To which Chief of Staff Wiles responded, "Are you nuts? Nipples are more than just red bumps. They are red lines. Sure, ass stuff, maybe. And I can get behind a reasonable amount of vag material, but nips? Never." I'm sorry. You know what? While this strategy meeting to counteract the public's demand for the release of the Epstein files and justice for the victims is grotesque, it is one time in the summer. And can we really blame people for the choices they make during our nation's hottest months? During a season where people show what many would characterize as truly the worst side of themselves? I think not. No, let us forgive our nation's top officials for the mistakes they made knowing that their future selves realize what a grave error they had made and refrain from making such a grotesque venue choice ever again.
Cut to August 13th, 2025, the Epstein scandal still raging, a similar situation room meeting is convened where the conversation turns to what allegations might be in those files about the president.
Okay, then. Hey, since you're all spending so much time in there, why not just turn the situation room into an extended stay hotel? Maybe throw a cute bar in the corner and do some late-night karaoke, you know, songs like Creep by Radiohead or The Monster by Rihanna or Criminal by Britney Spears. Just picked a few of those at random. This is beyond disgusting. Instead of protecting protecting the most vulnerable, this administration has decided they would rather protect the Epstein class, billionaires who witnessed or enabled or participated in the worst behavior anyone could conjure up in their minds. But I guess some people had trouble seeing it.
I'm glad to be here voluntarily to testify uh to help with the committee's work.
He told Congress he quote did not fully understand the extent of Epstein's crimes.
That's right. The man who figured out how to revolutionize the world with personal computers and was a pioneer in helping to immunize billions of children and eradicate whole diseases just could not crack the code on what the deal was with all those teen masseuses. What a mystery. The reality is, while the Trump administration utilized the completely wrong space to have the world's most diabolical strategy meetings, there was definitely a situation going on in that room. And that situation is this: Donald Trump's minions used our nation's most secure venue inside the highest levels of government to prevent anyone from being held accountable for taking part in a multinational pedophile ring. It did not have to be this way. If the president and his administration were as committed to exposing the Epstein class as they are to silencing the people seeking justice, we would not be here. And frankly, they are doing everything right now to cover it up. And they're getting some help from members of their own party.
We are doing a substantive investigation. I would argue uh the most thorough investigation ever of Epstein because the more evidence I see, the more people we interview, it's it's apparent the government did not do a good job investigating Epstein and Maxwell and their crowd.
I'm sorry. The most thorough investigation ever? If there was an evidence board in your office showing a connection between Jeffrey Epstein and the people in the highest levels of government trying to protect co-conspirators of a pedophile ring, you would only need about 6 in of red yarn. It is not hyperbole to say that in the eyes of the White House, the two worst offenses one can commit right now is being Iran and demanding the release of the Epstein files. Because Donald Trump is hell-bent on annihilating both of those things. If you dare be a member of the Republican Party who showed an ounce of sympathy for the victims of the Epstein files and signed your name onto the petition which required the administration release all the files, which they still have not done, then you become persona non grata.
And now Massie, he's the worst. I've watched stupid people like Marjorie Traitor Greene or some people call her Taylor Greene, some people call her Taylor Brown because Greene sometimes turns to brown.
Congresswoman Nancy Mace is now responding after President Trump formally endorsed Pamela Evette for South Carolina governor.
President Trump called you dumb. If one of my friends called me dumb, that would bother me. Did it bother you?
I well, I think it was low IQ. Um and
He used the word dumb.
Did he mean did he use dumb? Well, I mean that usually
weak-minded and dumb.
Weak-minded, that's right.
Oh my god. I got to say, it is a sad state of affairs when you getting caught giving a to another person in a Broadway theater is not the most embarrassing thing that you've contended with in the last couple of years. The reality is three of the four people who pushed Trump on Epstein lost their jobs because of their actions. That was their fireable offense. But using the situation room to map out how to discredit those people, that's what endears you to this president. At every turn, this administration has put the lives and well-being of Epstein's co-conspirators over the lives of the women who suffered at the hands of those people. Donald Trump does not care about transparency. The files were never on Pam Bondi's desk. Todd Blanche is not seeking justice for anyone. So, in the words of one of our nation's most morally bankrupt individuals,
This is a huge problem.
I couldn't agree more.

Before you go, I'm very excited to announce that I've written a new book titled The Day After: How to wield power in a post-Trump world. The book explores what is, in my opinion, the single most important theme that we're dealing with in politics today and moving forward, power. Specifically, how Republicans abuse it and how Democrats refuse to wield it. This book explains how we got here and more importantly, how we should finally wield power if we're fortunate enough to get it back. It is the blueprint for progressives who want to do far more than just restore the status quo.
