Trump Top Aide UNLEASHED: Trump Is LIAR, JD Is 'Conspiracy Theorist, Elon On Drugs
Breaking Points
Turning now to Suzy Wiles. This just broke this morning, we had to add this in. This is one of the craziest interviews by a senior White House official I have ever seen in my life, in any other White House, any other time, normal time, she's getting fired today.
Under this president, who knows? Let's put this up here on the screen. This is a New York Times write-up of a multi-page interview that Suzy Wiles has been sitting with Vanity Fair for over the last year, in which she gets candid about the entire Trump presidency, admits that many of the things that the White House said are lies, admits that Elon is using ketamine,
she criticizes the president, she says that the vice president is a conspiracy theorist who his conversion away from Never never Trump ism was political She says Trump has an alcoholic personality So let me read from the New York Times write-up of this lengthy Vanity Fair profile President Trump's chief of staff said she tried to get him to end his score settling against political enemies after 90 days in office But acknowledged the administration's still ongoing push for prosecutions has been fueled in part by the president's desire for retribution.
So number one, the mortgage fraud case against Letitia James or against James Comey, all of that, it's not about the case. It's political retribution from the president. She just tweeted it out. That's an old meme from the 2010s is just tweeting out what, you know, as journalists, we've been working on this story, trying to prove that this is the true reason
why Trump is doing this, even though, yes, it's obvious we need evidence. And now we have the White House Chief of Staff, he's like, oh yeah, he's doing it for political retribution purposes. That's what these prosecutions are about.
Okay, let's sit with that. Let's sit with that. As we continue, again, for over 11 interviews that she's given, the vice president, she said, quote, has been a conspiracy theorist for a decade. His conversion from Trump critic to ally was based not on principle, but was sort of political. Elon Musk is an avowed ketamine user, an odd, odd duck whose actions were not always rational, and left her, quote, aghast. Russ Vogt, the budget director, quote, is a right-wing absolute zealot.
And the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, quote, completely whiffed in handling of the Epstein files. She continued, by the way, to say about Venezuela, this is my personal favorite. She said here about the boats that the policy of the United States is that, or for Donald Trump,
is to quote, blow up as many boats as possible until Maduro decides to leave office. That's what she said. So admitting none of this is about drugs, it's not about fentanyl, which is all bullshit, which again, I knew that, I've been saying that here,
but to have the White House Chief of Staff just come out and be like, oh yeah, yeah, it's all fake and it's about regime change. Oh, thank you, thank you, Madam Susie Wiles. You know, I mean, continuing here, describing Trump as an alcoholic personality
with respect to, quote, operates with the view that there's nothing he can't do. That's not usually something I would describe of an alcoholic, but okay. She said so much of her job revolves around the president's personality and stream of consciousness,
public comments. She said that during the whole tariffs thing that the vice president, J.D. Vance, was sent in to convince Trump to pump the brakes on tariffs, and she said that there was a huge disagreement, that they were deciding, people were predicting disaster
on USAID. She thinks no rational person could think the USAID process was a good one. Nobody. I mean, the whole thing is crazy and we're just scratching the surface.
I haven't even been able to, I haven't been able to get even all of them just yet what these comments are, but trashing the cabinet, admitting the Epstein files is a huge problem, says she can't understand why Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a different prison,
says that the Epstein files was mishandled, says that Venezuela is really all about regime change, that USAID was a disaster, that she was a, keep in mind, you know, part of why this is so crazy is it's not just about telling the truth. This White House, her employee, Caroline Leavitt,
took to the podium to defend every single part of this bullshit at the time as the official part of the administration. And she's admitting that in private, oh my God, we were aghast by it. We were disgusted. We tried to move off of this policy.
The prosecutions are political. I mean, how is that gonna play in court? How is this gonna play in court? If this is a true court, James Comey, congratulations. You just got acquitted. All right, Letitia James, who they've tried to indict,
what, three more times now?
Three times and failed, yeah.

Get started freeFrom a grand jury and can't get it. Yeah, good luck, you know, to the prosecutors who are trying to do this. It's just so crazy. I have never seen anything like this in my entire time covering Washington ever. It is wild. Let me read.
And she, by the way, undercut a number of other policies. She talked about how they mean to be more careful with deportations. She said she did not agree with pardoning the violent January Sixers that she pushed to just do the nonviolent ones and was overruled there.
So all kinds of the like most like core and controversial Trump 2.0 policies, she's effectively undercutting here, everything from, you know, the day one J6 rioters and pardons up until Venezuela, where she's just giving the game away
that the blowing up of the boats isn't about drugs, it's about regime change. On the political retribution piece, let me read a little bit of this. So she said, quote, we have a loose agreement that the score settling will end before the first 90 days are over,
she said at the time. When that did not happen by August, she told Mr. Whipple that, I don't think he's on a retribution tour, but said that Trump was aiming at people who did bad things and coming after him. In some cases, it may look like retribution
and there may be an element of that from time to time. Who would blame him? Not me. And so in terms of just actual real world impact, yeah, any of those court cases, Tisha James, James Comey, Eric Swalwell, Adam Schiff,
there's been all sorts of talk about people that are gonna go after on this mortgage fraud bullshit. Those cases will all be undercut to the extent that they had any lugs legs to begin with by this overt admission from the chief of staff that yes, these are political.
This is about retribution. That's what he's doing. So that in and of itself is wild to undercut JD J.D. Vance, Trump may not really care that much about that, but to say, you know, oh yeah, of course he converted to Trumpism because it was political, which is obvious,
but you know, here you've got the chief of staff acknowledging what everybody could see the reality in front of their eyes, calling him a conspiracy theorist, talking about Elon Musk's drug use. All of it, I mean, yeah, it's pretty wild. And the other thing about this saga is the White House participated with all of this.
Like, this was authorized. I mean, there's a big, like, glossy photo shoot involved with a bunch of different administration officials. Other officials spoke to this reporter as well. So this was all, this whole project, this whole write-up was greenlit by the administration,
even though I would be very surprised if they knew the extent of what Susie Wiles was saying here.
No, they didn't know. I can already, my phone's, it's pinging a little bit here right now. Yeah. I'll just leave it at that, in terms of what people around Washington,
including people who are, I mean, here's the thing. It's an unspoken rule here in D.C. When you work for somebody, you never make yourself the story, never. So the White House Chief of Staff, many Chiefs of Staff, you know, to presidents and others, they don't sit for interviews, why? Because your job is to execute the agenda of the president.
You're never supposed to be the main character, ever. That's the job of the principal. I know this sounds like kind of servile, but in a certain way, that's the job, right? That's what you do as a staffer. And so for sitting for 11 interviews here, 11 interviews, and just letting loose about your thoughts about how Pam Bondi's an idiot,
she said completely whiffed on Epstein. I mean, if the White House Chief of Staff thinks this, how can we as citizens have any confidence in our government? If the White House Chief of Staff is openly saying that what the President is saying is a lie,
is that many cabinet members are idiots or incompetent, is that Doge, which was held up as a central pillar of the administration there at the time, what she was, quote, aghast by it. First of all, what are you doing in that job, lady? What are you even doing? If you think this, you should leave, right?
What does it say about you that you think all of this and that you're sticking around to, quote, do something about it? Because obviously you're not doing a very good job. You actually don't have that much influence And then second, yeah, I just, I cannot get over how you can just openly admit so many things,
which again, we all know are true, but there is a difference legally, first of all, in a court of law to say that you have a political prosecution. But second, like on regime change, that's gotta be one of the most consequential policies

Get started freeof the entire Trump administration. And to just come out and be like, our flimsy bullshit pretext is in fact bullshit, is amazing. I mean, it's shocking to the character.
Well, and that's something in a future administration, if you've got Democrats in control, people need to think about the potential prosecutions. They clearly are worried about with the double tap strike, whether that was legal or not. Obviously, like, I think the whole thing is illegal,
but they clearly got nervous about that as well, judging by the reaction. So when you have her coming out and publicly undercutting the bullshit legal pretext that they've been using, yeah, that's a big problem for Pete Hegseth. That's a big problem for that Admiral, what was it, Admiral Bradley,
who was kind of thrown under the bus. That's a big problem for all of the SEALs that were involved in this policy. That's a big issue. Let me read the part of the Epstein portion because this is pretty wild too.
So this is about Pam Bondi. She also gets into Trump a little bit with regard to Epstein. So as you mentioned before, Sagar, she says, I think Bondi completely whiffed on appreciating that that was a very targeted group that cared about this. First, she gave them binders full of nothingness. Then, she said the witness list or the client list was on her desk.
There is no client list, and it sure as hell wasn't on her desk. Mr. Vance, by contrast, she said, understood the sensitivity because he himself was a conspiracy theorist, she said. So again, saying directly, when Pam Bondi told you that this was on her desk, she was lying. There is no client list. It sure as hell was not on her desk.
That is what she had to say about that. And then she says that she has read the Epstein documents and acknowledged Trump's name is in them, quote, we know he's in the file and he's not in the file doing anything awful. Nothing awful, Sagar, so rest easy there.
But neither apparently, this is one more part on this, neither apparently is Bill Clinton. Asked about Trump's claims going back years that Clinton had visited Epstein Island, Ms. Wiles said, there is no evidence. Asked if there's incriminating evidence about Clinton
in the files, as Trump has suggested. She says, the president was wrong about that. So she's saying Trump is lying. Trump is in the files, but not doing anything awful. And that he is lying about what the files contain with regard to Bill Clinton.
It's so crazy, man. I truly have never seen anything like this. The last interview that was anything remotely comparable, in my opinion, was maybe Steve Bannon in the first 100 days where he openly trashed Jared Kushner and other members of the administration.
Who was it, to the American Prospect, is that right? It was some kind of lefty.
I thought it was like New York Magazine.
No, it was a lefty magazine.
I remember, could we?
New York Magazine was kind of lefty, but anyway, I don't remember exactly, but yeah.
There was that, but honestly, like Stan McChrystal, he was the general in charge of Afghanistan at the time, and Michael Hastings, the Rolling Stone journalist, ended up being delayed, and McChrystal, what did he say about Obama? He said he was an idiot, something like that. He said some comment about Obama where he was like, he's dumb.
Published it, and he was immediately fired. But that was in the old rules. I don't know if that's gonna happen now. I have no idea. I mean, how could youiles, who I guess is one of your, technically kind of your boss, is out there just trashing you. In the public, it's amazing.
But that's, the world we live in is Kash Patel sitting for interviews about his love life with Stephen Miller's wife, who's dressed casually for some reason, this entire thing. I don't know. I don't know what is happening to this government,

So you have the chief of staff. So this is not Lib, trust arrangement syndrome. Trump's chief of staff saying he's lying about the Epstein files. Bam Bam Bondi was lying about the Epstein files that she disagrees with the deportation approach, the USAID approach that Elon Musk, who was handed the keys to the whole frickin government, is a drug addict that Russ Vought, who still has the keys to the whole government,
is a right wing ideologue that the vice president is a conspiracy theorist. What, I mean, what more could you possibly get into this series of interviews? It's pretty wild. I don't know. I mean, I have to think that there would be some, like, there has to be some blowback for this. I mean, especially the parts where she says things about Trump in particular, that he's lying and that she disagreed with him on the J6 pardons
and the undercutting of the Venezuela policy. That's a live, active, very significant, serious issue. And here she is just like giving the game away on that one. I don't know, it's very different from my impression of her. I didn't know anything about her, but it seemed like she was just this very, we haven't heard from her,
that she was very disciplined and buttoned up. This is the total opposite of that.
Well, maybe everyone turns into a narcissist around Trump. I guess, that's possible.
I also wonder how he'll, he's very against alcohol at all. Right, being described as an alcoholic. I also wonder how he'll react to being characterized as having the personality of an alcoholic.
His brother died of alcohol.
I wonder how that will land with him.
Yeah, I know.
That's gonna go over well?
No. Yeah.
