I’m still going through the Epstein files to discuss on the show tomorrow. Some people are arguing that the nonsense in the files — unsubstantiated “tips” called in from anonymous schizophrenics, etc — means that the documents never should have been released at all. I understand that argument but totally disagree with it, which is why I’ve called for the release for years. The fact is that the “conspiracy theorists” were right. There is a powerful network of evil, degenerate, incestuous elites whose behavior even when it is not criminal — though it often is criminal — is nevertheless disgusting and depraved. For years they have enjoyed far more privacy than they ever granted us. They deserve to be exposed, even with whatever unintended consequences may accompany it. I don’t see any other option. In a post COVID world, trust in our institutions and the elites who run them is nonexistent. These are the people who locked us in our homes and lied to us about the reason. They lied about George Floyd. They spent years claiming that the best way to treat a gender confused adolescent girl is to chop her breasts off. They have lied so brazenly and so frequently at the highest levels of society that now we cannot be satisfied with anything less than complete radical transparency. Yes, liars and charlatans will take whatever they want from the files out of context to support their preferred narrative. That is not ideal. But the path we’ve taken for the past several years — allowing the very people implicated in the files to decide which parts of it we can see — is far less ideal. In fact it is totally untenable. This is where we are now. Put it all on the table and let the chips fall where they may. So be it.
