Epstein Files, the Trump Card, and the Real Line in the Sand
Joe Rogan just called the Trump administration’s refusal to release more Epstein files a “line in the sand.” He said it over forty times on his show last week, and the media’s treating it like a thunderclap. Trump’s in trouble now, they claim. Rogan has turned on him. The Epstein scandal might finally stick. Here is the full CNN article, not just a pull:
Joe Rogan says the Trump administration’s refusal to release more information about Jeffrey Epstein is a “line in the sand.”
Epstein’s name was mentioned more than 40 times on the most recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” which consistently ranks as the most popular podcast in the United States.
The episode was another instance of Rogan, who endorsed Trump on the eve of last fall’s election, heaping criticism on his Trump administration friends — and another indication that the conspiracy-coded Epstein controversy isn’t fading away.
We are now entering week number four of this scandal engulfing President Trump, largely because the outrage is coming from within Trump’s normally steadfast circle of conspiracy-minded media boosters.
And as arguably one of the most, if not the most influential of those figures, Rogan’s criticism suggests Trump’s headache will only grow from here.
Referring to his own podcast conversation with FBI director Kash Patel last month, Rogan said Patel’s responses about Epstein didn’t make any sense.
“Then he’s like, ‘Well, we have a film, we’re gonna release that film,’ and the film has a f**king minute missing from it,” Rogan said, referring to a prison video that was meant to dispel theories about Epstein’s 2019 death, which a medical examiner ruled a suicide.
“Like, do you think we’re babies? Like, what is this?” Rogan asked aloud.
Rogan’s guest, former CIA officer Mike Baker, said the government should “release everything” — a pithy phrase that has gained popularity in MAGA media circles this month.
Government officials have pushed back on those demands by citing the explicit nature of the materials and concerns for the victims involved.
On the podcast, Baker expressed bafflement at the way Attorney General Pam Bondi teased further Epstein-related revelations, and then said that nothing more would be forthcoming.
“The mob wants to eat,” he said, “and they’ve been throwing red meat to the mob about ‘Epstein files’ now for years.”
Rogan interjected, “It’s part of how they got elected.”
And now, Baker said, “the mob is oddly bipartisan because it’s got the Dems, too, referencing the Democratic leaders who have charged President Trump with a coverup.”
The Rogan conversation reflects the lingering questions about Epstein’s crimes and his accomplices — questions that have been hyped by right-leaning podcast hosts and other media personalities for years.
Trump vows to sue Rupert Murdoch as Epstein report opens new rift in their relationship
On Sunday, CNN’s Fareed Zakaria pointed out that when Patel visited Rogan last month, Patel claimed “that he has now found a secret vault in the FBI full of dark secrets no one had ever seen. Forget about Epstein, they seemed to be saying; it turns out there are hundreds more conspiracy theories to dangle in front of the MAGA faithful.”
Patel’s deputy, Dan Bongino, was roasted over the weekend for what might be dubbed “dangling.” He wrote on X about FBI investigations that have “shocked me down to my core. We cannot run a Republic like this. I’ll never be the same after learning what I’ve learned.”
While some of the people in Bongino’s replies seemed persuaded, and expressed enthusiasm to find out more, others accused him of pumping up another Epstein-style mystery that will never be satisfactorily solved.
“The country is not a reality TV show with cliffhangers and teasers,” AEI senior fellow Robert Pondiscio wrote on X. “Either tell people what has ‘shocked you to your core’ or hold your tongue until you can. Anything else breeds suspicion, mistrust, and cynicism.”
None of this is news. None of this should be surprising, particularly if you’ve followed this digital space over the last couple of years, even more particularly if you’ve taken the counsel to view everything not as a story in itself to be picked apart, but as a small piece of a bigger narrative war.
I spotlight three things above for two reasons:
- The “mob” has been mocked for years now, being grouped together under the deceptive umbrella of “QAnon conspiracy theorists” who believe the world is run by child hunting predators; well guess what the “new mob” rife with Trump haters all of a sudden has been pushed into demanding?
- This is a reality TV show, Mr Pondiscio. It’s a ridiculous stage where most everyone is acting their part. And I’ve been saying it much longer than NBA star Kyrie Irving (have you seen that video?). This whole thing is the consequence of America falling prey to Cultural Marxism and the digital colors we are addicted to on those screens. Everything is TV. Everything is a story. We are brainwashed….
Which is why I have contended for months and months now, that whether we be in the middle of a highly intelligent and complex military operation rescuing the American collective mind from its captors, or a highly intelligent and complex Divine operation rescuing His elect from the prison of diabolical soul slavery–or a delicious combination of both–we are watching and being asked to play our role in the most incredible story ever written this side of Christ’s Incarnation, Passion, Resurrection, and Ascension.
It is the latest chapter in God’s book on salvation history. A story, a movie run by “cliffhangers and teasers,” is the only way to get our attention.
Did you see the level of our attention on the JFK files release? Did it even reach seven days? Things are still being released, by the way. RFK. MLK….
And who killed JFK is in there….
The key to seeing it all this way is to combine the two numbered points above. The only way this can be a truly American story, and not just a MAGA one, is if everyone comes together on… something. What could that something possibly be?
Could it be the children?
I believe this is one reason MAGA is being fractured with–you guessed it, narratives–to break the binary of no-Trump and yes-Trump. We had to go there first, of course, but such consolidation must be broken up now if we are to even invite, much less welcome, the Trump-hating left.
And apparently, we need them to win this war.
I wrote this article back in January 2024, and nothing that has happened since has made me take even a step back from what I believe is happening. It is a miracle, and so many people are missing it. I sincerely invite you to read it, or at least take a look at those two very interesting video inserts I’ve included. One is Trump randomly bringing up Clinton and a certain island way back in 2015 or 2016 with Hannity.
Back when the latest crop of conspiracy theorists was just getting started.
The other is… interesting.
Think about how far we’ve come as a collective–based on a simple, long, story playing out.
Perhaps the one change or shift I’ll confess to in relation to that 2024 article, and I’ve been open about this as well in the last year or so, is that I can see a path where Trump is exactly that–a trump card–the ultimate one, the puppet unleashed by a deeper, darker state behind the scenes that were using “the deep state” as just one layer of cover all along.
I’ve come to see this as a possibility through staunch study and prayer. Note that I said “possibility.” I am still a supporter of Trump. I have yet to see any concrete reason or pattern recognition to believe he is a villain.
But I suggest you at least start allowing the possibility into your mind, just in case.
I have seen the Jurassic World movie when the largest carnivore discovered to that point in T-Rex was gobbled down by a bigger monster no one saw coming.
Christ is my King, and the only sure thing. And if Trump is indeed that greater villain or puppet of, I can say this with full assurance: The left is looking in the wrong place entirely. It won’t be because his name is on that list.
Even if it is.
Where Our Focus Needs to Turn
Intellectually, I am past where I was in that article above. Everyone should be more advanced than they were in January 2024. If we’re not, it would be good to evaluate why exactly after so much has transpired in the way of being counter to our previously held beliefs–especially on the conservative side of things.
And so, to circle back to the original hook and inspiration for this callback of sorts, it is indeed week four of the “Trump–Epstein” psychodrama, and still no new evidence, no bombshell testimony, no perp walks, no blockbuster arrests, no firing squads in sight. Just recycled outrage, clickbait “revelations,” and desperate hopes, from some, that Trump’s own conspiracy-minded allies will do the job the Dept of Justice, FBI, CIA, the OBiden Administration, and Mockingbird media somehow couldn’t in ten years.
I still believe this: If they had the evidence on Trump, we wouldn’t be in Act 99 of this never-ending political soap opera. The Epstein file wouldn’t be an eternal teaser trailer. They would’ve taken him out years ago. And at this point, anything “new” coming from those files is suspect—either already known by serious researchers (and dismissed by regime media in the pockets of that deeper, darker state), or conveniently planted now to feed the next phase of the script.
That perspective,of course, is assuming Trump is the real deal.
The ultimate story isn’t Trump and Epstein. It’s just a chapter, a scene in a movie longer than Braveheart.
It’s that the intelligence community—everyone’s from the Obamas to the Bushes—has been meddling in elections, narrative framing, blackmail ops, and global money laundering for decades. It’s that that intelligence community works for a system so nefarious that they make Trump’s mean tweets look like a Kindergartener’s innocent doodling. It’s that that system is not decades- or centuries-old, but millenia.
You’ll doubt that. You’ll say that’s just Sunday talk.
But why even go to Sunday talk if God’s messages weren’t true in the first place? Do we think they’re only true for people long gone, for people yet to come?
Do we think he moved a bullet to graze an ear but has since forgotten us and our souls?
Do we think that little of ourselves in His eyes?
The Rogans and Levins of the world are just providing “credibility” about what many “conspiracy theorists” and “racists” have been documenting for over a decade. None of this is news. It’s just time that everyone start to enjoy their role in the show.
And why are they more credible than us?
Because they’re on TV.
And we’re not.
And we question whether or not we’re brainwashed?
We wonder why it is that God is choosing to reach us through a story?
The names in the black book? They were never the point–because even when folks find out about their favorite politicians and celebrities, they won’t turn them off.
The system that book represents? That’s the real crime scene.
The enmity. One of the two seeds.
Trump, whether he’s a hero or a double agent—or just a glorified placeholder—is to be viewed, if not used, as an asset still. It is something that not even the Trump derangers realize: If you hate him so much, why not just use him for what he’s worth? Why not squeeze him in your mind for everything that might turn out good on the other side?
Because there’s an easy path to that reality, you know. And that path is the children.
Or do we care more about “owning” Trump online than messing with that pesky little problem?
Like him or not, Trump thus far has allowed the public’s attention to linger on Epstein long enough to where what (nothing) happened with the JFK files doesn’t happen again. The story is taking root, and that is taking time. It is making people uncomfortable–because we’re not accustomed to a story hanging around this long. That’s useful. That’s a weapon.
None of that makes him innocent, or dangerous, or irrelevant. It just makes him…in the middle of the war. And that is precisely how we could–if we can just swallow our pride–come together and fight for what should be the common ground no one in their right mind would argue against.
Fine, we don’t want to really crown Christ as King in society?
Well maybe we can at least take a step toward that by saving the children and exposing exactly what diabolical, occult ritual sacrifices are being performed on a daily basis, what hypnotic magic is being seeped into our minds and souls by the very same people keeping the wars and the electronic screens going.
Cultural Marxism is just the other side of the coin to the never-ending wars and immigration floods.
Because the true risk isn’t Trump being exposed by Rogan or any other “former allies now turning on him.”
As if that proves somehow to leftists that they were right all along.
The true risk is that Americans start asking the next question: “If they really wanted to take him down, why haven’t they?”
And then…
What could be so big that he doesn’t just release it as he did the JFK files? What could be so big that it seems time–and a lot of it–is the only soil rich enough to cast the seeds into when the moment finally is right?
Right for what?
We can’t waste the opportunity. People have to be primed for the level of righteous rage it’s going to take to finally risk our comforts and even our lives to finally fight back, to finally realize what so many have been working so hard to say, to finally turn them off.
I promise you, it is the ending of a story you’ll want to be a part of.
