ZACK HOYT (HOST): Trump needs to release that Epstein shit. Like, he really does because, that’s his January 6 right now. Because they — because they’re right with the Epstein stuff. They’re that that’s the problem is that he gave them ammunition, and it’s working ammunition. Like, he’s right. Like, he’s got to get this under control because it makes him look like a retard. “He won’t?” Just take himself off the list. Why can’t he just take himself off the list? Yeah. If if he’s on the list, just take it off. 

…

“You’re supporting a pedo to remove evidence of his crimes?” I’m going ban you. I’m just going to ban you. That’s not what I said. I’m saying if somebody — I don’t see the logic, though. Right? Because if somebody is like a fucking psychopath pedophile, why wouldn’t he just remove himself? I mean, this is obviously not a person of good moral caliber, right? I mean, I would not expect this to be like a law abiding, upstanding moral paragon. I never said that. Yeah. 

And y’all going to get people — not y’all, there’s like three people in chat that are like this. If you do one of those things where it’s like, “I’m going to take what you say in a way that you didn’t intend it and then try to reframe it to make you look bad,” you will get permabanned. 

Everybody knows what we’re talking about. Everybody knows what’s being discussed. Yeah. It’s that simple. 

“You already made the argument three weeks ago, because the third party would release it, full unredacted list anyway.” That’s the only way it makes sense to me. “I don’t think it’s that easy to just remove yourself from evidence, though.” Well, he’s the president. Like, you really —  I mean, if he can’t figure that out, he’s a moron. People delete and destroy evidence all the time.
