Russia Hoax, Epstein Smokescreen & MAGA Momentum: Unpacking the Real Agenda
Hi, I’m Scott Walter, president of Capital Research Center and author of the new book Arabella. I’d like to encourage you to subscribe to Grassroots Truthcast wherever you get your podcasts. I know you’ll find a lot of valuable material and learn exciting things.
And everybody, let’s bring in our awesome special guest for today. I love these two guys, GOP political strategist and host of the Grassroots Truthcast podcast, the one and only with the greatest glasses in the world, Gene Valentino. And also here is the nominee for the inspector general of the Labor Department and also the great former Republican congressman for New York, the one and only with no glasses, Anthony D’Esposito.
I love you guys both. I’m so happy to see you both. Thanks for having us, Rita.
Congressman, what do you make? You just heard the governor, former governor of New Hampshire, Chris Sununu, saying that he thinks this is a big deal with the Russia hoax, but yet don’t get bogged down as sort of his message. Have President Trump focus on immigration and other things. Where do you think this needs to go into perspective? Yeah.
So, I mean, I think that Tulsi revealed to the American people what millions already thought was the case and obviously what the House Intelligence Committee already knew. The scary part is this isn’t just politicizing the intelligence community. This is weaponizing the intelligence community.
And that is really what is scary about this. And I think that they will follow all the leads and get to the bottom of it. But the former governor is correct.
President Trump is delivering on the promises he made during the campaign, and the Democrats are trying to do everything they possibly can to veer everyone off course. They want to fill the news networks. They want to fill social media with stuff that is not really—it’s not what the American people are focused on.
When people sit around their dinner table at night and talk about what’s bothering them, the cost of living, they talk about the fact that President Trump has sealed the border and making this country safer. The media wants to focus on Epstein. That’s not what we should be focused on.
President Trump needs to continue to focus on what the American people sent him to Washington to do once again, and that is make America great again. Yeah, and boy, is he turbocharged. I can’t believe he just hit the six-month mark.
Gene Valentino, where do you think this goes in perspective? And look, you can even see—we just played that DNC ad. That’s incredible that they are saying Epstein, pointing it to Trump, and yet we know darn well that there are many Democrats right now. And President Trump hasn’t done anything nefarious just because he knew Epstein.
A lot of people knew Epstein. That’s a whole different deal. On the other hand, this is serious stuff, what Tulsi Gabbard came out with.
And if indeed Obama was sort of the ringmaster of it all, doesn’t someone need to be held accountable for the Russia coup? The Russia hoax? The Russia hoax, indeed. Well, it was a Democrat that said that everyone is accountable and not above the law, so let’s hold them accountable. The congressman was tempted to go after Donald Trump.
Let’s rewind the tape an extra week and think about the fact that this Epstein list was an attempt to trap Trump. They failed. And the diversion now, the deflection, is all to divert your attention onto issues related to the Epstein case while Donald Trump is calling the shots and having wins.
You know what the problem with Trump is? He’s trying to stack up what win to announce next. Right, he’s got so many of them. He’s got to spoon-feed them out one at a time so we can digest all the success.
Winning, winning, winning, my words, congressman. Yeah, he said we’re going to get sick of winning, but we aren’t yet. This is what we voted for, right? Exactly.
All right, guys, thank you very much. I’m so glad you’re both with us today. It’s going to be a fun day with both of you guys.
