Carl Higbie addressed newly discussed text messages involving Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein, raising questions about conversations he says referenced replacing President Trump and invoking the 25th Amendment.

During his remarks, Higbie cited what he described as text exchanges between Bannon and an individual assumed to be Epstein. He questioned the substance of the alleged communications.

“Why was he talking about replacing Trump, swapping Pompeo as the VP with Mike Pence, and then using the 25th amendment to make Pompeo the president?” Higbie asked.

“These are text messages with what is assumed to be Epstein confirmed to be with Bannon.”

Higbie then read portions of the reported exchange.

“Quote, I like the idea of Pence stepping down in favor of Pompeo. So when it happens, he becomes president, that’s from allegedly Epstein. And I’m thinking it. What do you mean by it? Bannon responding, that is his name. Has this been shopped? Epstein replies, Rudy did lay out impeachment Pelosi vote and don’t go after Ivanka, Bannon says, great, great impeaching Trump.”

He continued by reflecting on former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s record after leaving office.

“We now know Pompeo was not a product of MAGA doctrine, and was heavily critical of Trump once he left his first term, showing his true colors, and Bannon wanted him to become president. I mean, am I reading that?”

Higbie acknowledged the possibility that the texts could be interpreted in more than one way.

“There’s a possibility that Bannon did nothing wrong, and these are being misinterpreted. There’s a possibility giving him the benefit of the doubt here, considering he was like, I defended this guy. I thought he was good for the administration initially.”

He added that, in his view, additional clarification is needed.

“But there’s some explaining to do about beyond talking about a documentary to revitalize Jeffrey Epstein’s image. A lot of people have a lot of explaining to do way beyond the island, way beyond sexual assault and all those and rape and all those things.”

Higbie said the continued release of information has led him to reassess broader claims.

“The more this stuff comes out, the more people keep getting caught in stuff that makes people like me question absolutely everything, everything is now up for question, mostly proving that Trump and all the conspiracy theorists we were right about a ton of stuff.”

He also criticized how government records related to Epstein have been released and organized.

“Keep in mind, first, it was the redactions. Okay. We couldn’t get all the files. They were redacting them. And then they redacted Les Wexner, now he’s being deposed.”

Higbie described the process of accessing the documents as cumbersome.

“Then when they finally did release all the files, because it was such turmoil to get these things out. Once they finally released all those things, they put them up on the government website in such a manner that makes it so difficult to search anything, something you have data that spreads out over 1000s of pages, but you can only have 10 links per page, so you can only search 10 at a time, and there are hundreds of 1000s of links to linking individual pages. It would take one person a lifetime to get through a fraction of it. It takes forever.”

He urged viewers to participate in reviewing the information themselves.

“But you know what? Thank God we got the internet and we got crowd sourcing. And I always tell people at home, you want to be a part of the solution. Get on there and start looking this stuff up, because there’s a ton of stuff out there. And if we as citizens don’t allow, don’t force our government to be transparent, voting is a suggestion.”

Higbie concluded by noting that he had attempted to bring additional voices into the discussion.

“And you know what’s crazy, folks is normally we come out of these monologs, and we have a guest for you. We reached out to dozens and dozens and dozens of conservatives. And you know how many wanted to come on and talk about it with me? Zero tells you we’re hovering over the target.”
