ANDREW SCHULZ (HOST): On this, he is rebuking the base. Almost like spitting in their face. They are asking for it. He campaigned on it. He puts Bongino and Kash in there, which might be the stupidest thing in the history of the world. Why would you put the two guys that have nonstop pounded the pavement talking about how we're gonna expose this Epstein thing, and the second they get in there, like, ‘you better shut the fuck up --

ALEXX MEDIA (HOST): You have to shut him up.

SCHULZ: -- Go on Rogan. Lie.' It is a very peculiar thing. It worked, in that I think it moved any of the smoke off of Trump. Because at least for me, I was like, there's no way that he's involved if he's putting Bongino and Kash in who have campaigned on exposing it. Why would you hire those guys or appoint those guys? Right? So I'm like, he can't be. But the fact that he will not touch this and then this last week, him doing the bullshit distractions. Dropping the MLK files. Like, who asked for the MLK files? Who asked for MLK?

AKAASH SINGH (HOST): You know what's funny is I'm not a huge conspiracy theorist, and I was initially, like, the Epstein thing for me was just the last straw in terms of you not getting things done. And I was, like, yeah, I'm sure there's some smoke. They'll release it. But the more they're doing to hide it, the more I'm like, oh, they're hiding something crazy. Where I didn't necessarily, I was like there's probably something --

SCHULZ: The second he started talking about Obama, I was like, oh, he's guilty. Also, like, why are you talking about Obama and treason? You got a guy who has sex with teenagers, that you are protecting. 

MEDIA: He's protecting other pedophiles. Trump is protecting other pedophiles.

SCHULZ: Facts.

MEDIA: Like, that's what it is.

SCHULZ: Or Epstein, because I actually think Epstein was a pedophile that was also involved in nefarious activities for maybe our government and other governments, and that they're protecting that relationship they have with him.
