Kash Patel, Dan Bongino say Jeffrey Epstein DID commit suicide: 'I've seen the whole file'



The top leaders of the Federal Bureau of Investigation revealed in a recent interview that the evidence in the suspicious death of sex offender billionaire Jeffrey Epstein pointed to a definitive conclusion.

While the circumstances of Epstein's death have led many to suspect that he was killed in order to protect those who were complicit in his alleged underage trafficking ring, FBI Director Kash Patel said the evidence supported the official explanation of suicide.

'You know a suicide when you see one, and that's what that was.'

Patel made the admission while he and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino were being interviewed by Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business. Video of the interview aired on Sunday.

"You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide," said Bartiromo. "People don't believe it."

"They have a right to their opinion," Patel replied, "but as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor who's been in that prison system, who's been in the metropolitan detention center, who's been in segregated housing, you know a suicide when you see one, and that's what that was."

"He killed himself," Bongino agreed. "Again, I've seen the whole file. He killed himself."

Video of the interaction between Bartiromo, Patel, and Bongino was widely circulated on the internet, where it garnered millions of views. Some members of the Trump administration had been criticized for promising to release Epstein files and apparently stalling on the issue.

Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck responded to the admission from the FBI on social media.

"FBI Director @Kash_Patel and @dbongino now claim they believe Epstein's death WAS a suicide," wrote Beck. "They didn't used to believe that. I STILL don't believe that. However, I know Dan Bongino. I think he's a credible guy. He loves his country. I know Kash Patel. I think he's an honorable guy. He loves his country."

Beck listed the evidence that the FBI must release in order to alleviate the suspicions of many who doubt the official story of Epstein's death.

"I tend to believe Patel and Bongino. I don't believe there's some sort of conspiracy inside MAGA," Beck added. "But I also believe that Epstein didn't kill himself with a PAPER SHEET. So, show us the facts. We must restore trust."

One of the Epstein accusers, Virginia Giuffre, died in April from suicide, according to a statement from her family, which sparked even more speculation. The 41-year-old had been in a bus accident and accused her husband of abuse prior to her death. Authorities have initially said the suicide was not suspicious.

Shaq takes a hard stance against vaccine mandates



Shaquille O'Neal seems to have changed his mind on mandates, and wasted no time making his opinion known during an episode of "The Big Podcast with Shaq." The former NBA player said he encouraged people to "be safe and take care of your family" but that "you shouldn't be forced to take something that you do not want."

When co-host Nischelle Turner pushed back and suggested mandates were not really being forced, Shaq doubled down.

Shaq was relentless, saying, "It is forced. Because if the man don't take it, the man gonna get fired."

Yes, that is what mandate means. One might argue "mandate" and "force" occupy similar spaces in the etymological circle, but vocabulary is hard for some people.

Shaq's recent statement runs counter to what he's said in the past about Kyrie Irving's refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19. But if institutions are allowed to change and adapt, why not individuals?

'Kiss My A**': Dan Bongino unleashes on YouTube over the Big Tech giant's temporary suspension of his channel



Conservative commentator Dan Bongino sent a scathing email to YouTube after the company temporarily suspended his channel, concluding his message by writing "Respectfully Kiss My A**," before signing his name.

A YouTube spokesperson told the Daily Beast, "We removed a video for violating our policies on COVID-19 misinformation, specifically for comments that masks are useless, resulting in a first strike on the channel."

The Big Tech behemoth also suspended the channel's monetization "for repeatedly violating our Advertiser-Friendly Guidelines on harmful and dangerous acts."

One of the penalties for a first strike is that a channel cannot upload videos for one week.

Bongino did not mince words, lambasting the company as a "s**t platform," and noting that he is an investor in Rumble, a different platform that he said "respects free-speech."

BREAKING :\nYouTube just suspended Dan\u2019s channel for daring to question the mask fascists. \n\nI guess they were waiting for an apology from us. But that\u2019s not quite how it worked out for them. Here\u2019s Dan\u2019s email to \u201cCoco\u201d at YouTube telling them to plant a big wet kiss on his asspic.twitter.com/4yFeprnr3Y

"We knew it was just a matter of time before the tyrannical, free-speech hating, bulls**t, big tech s**thole you work for, would try to silence us. I anxiously waited for this moment however, as I've said on my show many times," he wrote to an individual at YouTube.

"So here's my deal to you, and there will be NO negotiation. After your 'suspension,' I will immediately post content questioning why masks have been totally ineffective in stopping this pandemic. I dare you to do something about it," Bongino declared in the email.

Rumble tweeted that it is "proud" to carry Bongino's podcast on its platform.

Dan Bongino, one of the most vocal supporters of free speech and the 1st amendment was just suspended on YouTube where their CEO says free speech is a "core value". \n\nFreedom of expression is a human right, full stop. @dbongino & all creators, we have your back. #StandWithDan
