Okay, Epstein. Yes, we're going to 47 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 3: talk about Epstein. I know I dragged it all excited 48 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 3: about it too, so Trump Sunday. The President on Sunday 49 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 3: directed the House Republican members to vote in favor of 50 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 3: the bill that was written by Congressman Thomas Massy, the 51 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 3: Republican from Kentucky, and Democrat Rocanna, and they got two 52 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 3: hundred and eighteen signatures on what's called a discharge petition. 53 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 3: A discharge petition is basically, in Layman's terms, is a 54 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 3: petition where you need a majority, so you need two 55 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 3: hundred eighteen or more. You need this majority so that 56 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 3: a bill can be brought to the floor despite the 57 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 3: Speaker or anybody else's objection. The bill has to come 58 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 3: to the floor and you have to have a a 59 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 3: vote on it. So they were able to gather the 60 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 3: two hundred and eighteen signatures on this discharge petition, and 61 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 3: under the House rules that requires that mandates the Speaker 62 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 3: to bring the bill to the floor for a vote 63 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 3: without first being voted out of committee. Then, once it 64 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 3: became obvious that the discharge petition that there were two 65 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 3: hundred and eighteen votes to pass Massy's bill, and all 66 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 3: the efforts that had been made and exhausted to try 67 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 3: to convince the GOP squad to remove their names from 68 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 3: the petition, which includes, let me think if I name 69 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: them all. You've got Lauren Bobert, You've got Marjorie Taylor Green, 70 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 3: You've got Massey, and you've got who I don't want 71 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 3: to say, it's Stefanic or not. I forget who the 72 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 3: third one is who I'm not sure. I'm not sure 73 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 3: who it is. But anyway, that's the We have a squad, 74 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 3: just like the Democrats. Democrats have a squad. Now it 75 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 3: doesn't matter to the Trump administration whether there are two 76 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: hundred and eighteen votes or all four hundred and thirty 77 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 3: five members of Congress. So Trump told every Republican member 78 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,839 Speaker 3: to vote however they needed to vote for their own 79 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 3: purposes back in their district. In other words, he just 80 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 3: released them and said, you go do whatever you want 81 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 3: to do. I don't care anymore the vote. The final 82 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 3: vote was four thirty four to one in favor only 83 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 3: one member. Only one member voted no, and that one 84 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 3: member is a Republican. That gives the House Democrats a 85 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 3: chance to demagogue the vote in the midterm elections next year. Now, 86 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 3: I'll tell you in a minute why that one person, 87 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 3: a congressman from Texas, why he voted no on the 88 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 3: discharge petition. But set that aside for a moment. Okay, 89 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 3: just set that aside and we'll come back to it. 90 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 3: I know it's worked to follow along, but you, I 91 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 3: think you can handle. You can do it now. Shortly 92 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 3: after the vote, and relying on Trump's instructions to the House, 93 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 3: the Senate Majority Leader John Thune introduced the bill in 94 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 3: the Senate, where it was asked by unanimous consent without 95 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 3: any amendments. What does unanimous consent mean? They didn't debate it, 96 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 3: They didn't do anything. They just brought the bill on 97 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 3: the floor of the Senate, and whoever was presiding over 98 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 3: the Senate at the time said, is there any objection 99 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 3: to the passage of this bill? Nobody objected, which means 100 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 3: they're not on record. It just means that you assume 101 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 3: that everybody that was there, they had a quorum, and 102 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 3: everybody voted for it. So it goes through the he 103 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 3: goes through the Senate. The Senate majority leader, Well, let 104 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 3: me back up. This is true, even though Speaker Mike 105 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 3: Johnson said shortly after the House vote on the bill 106 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 3: that he was going to try to get the Senate 107 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 3: to amend it, and he mentioned some very specific passages 108 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 3: of the massive legislation that were problematic to him and 109 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 3: quite frankly, they're kind of problematic to me. But Soon 110 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 3: originally said he was going to allow amendments on the 111 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 3: Senate floor. Then he backed down and said, no, we'll 112 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 3: just let it pass with unanimous consent. So that's where 113 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 3: we are. The unstated subtext, in my opinion, was this 114 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 3: is Massey's language, and now he will have to live 115 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,559 Speaker 3: with the consequences. 116 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 2: Get it. 117 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 3: So originally the Speaker comes out and says, there are 118 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 3: some really bad parts of this bill. I'm going to 119 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 3: try to convince the Senate Majority Leader John Thune, another Republican, 120 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 3: to try to amend it before the Senate votes on it. 121 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 3: That would mean if they had amended it, then it 122 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 3: would go back to the House or go to a 123 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 3: conference committee to agree on those amendments before it would 124 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 3: go to the President. But John Thune decided, no, I'm 125 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 3: not going to do that. I'm just going to let 126 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 3: it fly through, and it just flew right through now 127 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 3: and pointed out by I would say, almost everybody in 128 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 3: the cabal and every talking head that you can imagine. 129 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 3: All of this would have been unnecessary if President Trump 130 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 3: had simply directed the Attorney General to comply with the 131 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 3: terms of Massey's bill without it having to be passed 132 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 3: by Congress. Nobody's ever really talked about that before. I 133 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 3: haven't even talked about that before. But that is one 134 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 3: thing that Trump could have done. He could have just 135 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 3: gone to the Attorney General and said, look, here's what 136 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 3: the bill says. Just comply with the provisions of the 137 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 3: bill without it being passed, and that we can just 138 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 3: get this, we just move on with it. But the President, 139 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 3: for whatever reason, did not do that. The Epstein files 140 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 3: are in the possession of the Department of Justice. There are, however, 141 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 3: a couple of restrictions, one which we talked about at 142 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 3: length yesterday, and somebody on X on my timeline at 143 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 3: Michael Brown USA. In fact, you should be following me 144 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 3: over an ex at Michael Brown USA. One person even said, Hey, 145 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 3: I was listening to Michael Brown today and I've reversed 146 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 3: my position and I've decided that the files should not 147 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 3: be released because of the danger it might cause to 148 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 3: some of the victims. Well, that's great, I'm going to 149 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 3: convince somebody. Although I did say at the end of 150 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 3: the of that segment yesterday, I'm beyond caring about this 151 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 3: because regardless of which way this thing was going to go, 152 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 3: someone was going to make a political issue out of it. 153 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 3: So we might as well just admit that this is 154 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 3: really nothing more than performative politics by both sides of 155 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 3: the aisle. Republicans and Democrats are both playing politics with this. 156 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 3: But back to the files themselves. The Epstein files, with 157 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 3: a couple of exceptions, are in the possession of the 158 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 3: Department of Justice. One group of files that is in 159 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 3: not in possession of or i should say not fully 160 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 3: in possession of the Department of Justice, or the grand 161 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 3: jury files are still in the Southern District of New York. 162 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 3: The Epstein files that are in the possession of the 163 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 3: Justice Department do have some restrictions on it. For example, 164 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 3: some of the information in those files is classified at 165 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 3: the top secret at higher level. Now Trump could clear 166 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 3: those if he wanted to, and the sealing orders or 167 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 3: other restrictions imposed by various judges over time. Now those 168 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 3: could be minimized and in some cases they might be 169 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 3: eliminated by the Department of Justice, again with the exception 170 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 3: being the grand jury files. So it seems, at least 171 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 3: on face value, it seems that President Trump gave Congressman 172 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 3: Massey what he wanted, and that likely takes massing the 173 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 3: Democrats off the field by putting this issue on the 174 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,599 Speaker 3: shelf for the next thirty days. The operative language of 175 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 3: the bill gives the Department of Justice thirty days that 176 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 3: period of time to put together the documents into a 177 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 3: searchable and downlo down law down loadable format. So they'll 178 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 3: probably put it in some sort of PDF file, some 179 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 3: gigantic you know, who knows how many megabytes or terabytes 180 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 3: of data it will be, but a huge PDF bill 181 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 3: that they will put up onto a website, either as 182 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,239 Speaker 3: a subset of the DOJ website or a separate website altogether, 183 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 3: and it will be word searchable. That's the requirement in 184 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 3: the bill. This is why, in my opinion, Trump opted 185 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 3: on Sunday night to simply choose to simply close the 186 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 3: tent on this circus that Congressman Massey had created. Once 187 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 3: it was clear that nobody and none of the three 188 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 3: female Republicans were going to remove their names off the 189 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 3: discharge petition. I'm really confident that the Trump administration lawyers 190 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 3: have studied the language of Massey's bill and are indeed 191 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 3: prepared to deal with it. The bill is barely longer 192 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 3: than six pages. It's twenty five lines a page, about 193 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 3: eight words per line. Here's an outline of the language. 194 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 2: In sequence. 195 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 3: The resolution bringing the bill forward to as is and 196 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 3: waiving all motions that would normally be used to derail 197 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 3: consideration and a vote, it provided for one hour debate 198 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 3: divided equally one and one motion to recommit, which would 199 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 3: have been a vote to send a bill back to 200 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 3: committee if a majority had voted in favor of that. 201 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 3: But of course we now know in hindsight that did 202 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 3: not happen. Section two, I'm not going to give you 203 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 3: all the clauses and all of that, says that certain 204 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 3: House rules will not. 205 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 2: Apply to the bill. 206 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 3: These two rules give the Speaker the authority to postpone 207 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 3: a vote under certain circumstances. Again, we know that didn't 208 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 3: happen because we now know the bill has been passed. 209 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 3: There was a third section the clerk is required to 210 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 3: communicate to this at the passage of the bill within 211 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 3: seven days, and we now know, obviously do that has happened. 212 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 3: Then you get to the fourth section, and this this 213 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 3: fourth section is where the operative provisions of the bill 214 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 3: are located. Not later than thirty days after enactment. So 215 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 3: we still have to wait for the presidents to sign it, 216 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 3: because remember Schoolhouse rock House has passed it, Senator has 217 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 3: passed it. It's the same version, and now it goes 218 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 3: to the President's desk. I haven't checked the timelines to 219 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 3: see if he's signed it yet today, but I deft 220 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 3: you will sign it today because he has the Crown 221 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 3: Prince of Saudi Arabia in town. So you may not 222 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 3: sign it today. He might sign it tonight. He might 223 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 3: sign it tomorrow. But and here's the butt, not less 224 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 3: than thirty days after enactment. The Attorney General shall, subject 225 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 3: to restrictions in another paragraph, make available in a searchable 226 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 3: and downloadab format, all of all unclassified records, documents, communications, 227 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 3: investigating materials in the possession of the Department of Justice, 228 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 3: including the FBI and the US Attorney's offices. Now unclassified 229 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 3: is not declassified, so that specific provision limits the reach 230 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 3: of the built of material to material what was. 231 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 2: When it was received. Unclassified. 232 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 3: Declassified material is treated separately. So Section four that I 233 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 3: just told you about lists eight categories of materials that 234 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 3: are subject to the thirty day disclosure requirement. 235 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 2: Here are I made a list. I've got nine things. 236 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 3: Everybody who's all the Oh my gosh, we're gonna find 237 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 3: out who the pedophiles are. Oh my gosh, we're gonna 238 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 3: find out who the less are. Oh my gosh, we're 239 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 3: gonna find out all these details. Are you ready to 240 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 3: listen closely? Be prepared to be a little disappointed or 241 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 3: to have some new questions. These are the materials subject 242 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 3: to the thirty day disclosure requirement. One Jeffrey Epstein, all investigations, prosecutions, 243 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 3: or custodial materials. Two same thing for Gislaine Maxwell. Three. 244 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 3: Flight logs or travel records including manifests, itineraries, pilot records, 245 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 3: customs or immigration documentation for any aircraft, any vessel, any 246 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 3: vehicle owned, operated, or used by Jeffrey Epstein, or any 247 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 3: related entity. Of course, my question is what's a related entity? 248 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 3: They're going to have to decide that for themselve else 249 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 3: what is a related entity? So for everybody that and 250 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 3: I want you to think about what I said yesterday 251 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 3: about innocent people are going to get caught up in 252 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 3: this in this controversy, a flight lag, a travel record, 253 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 3: a manifest an itinerary, customs documentation that doesn't prove anything. 254 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 3: All it proves is that Joe Schmoe was on a 255 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 3: aircraft or on a boat, or on a in a 256 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 3: car or a bus or what. It does not prove 257 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 3: they did anything wrong, but that's what everybody wants. So 258 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 3: that's what you're going to get. Then you get to 259 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 3: number four individuals, including government officials named or referenced in 260 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 3: connection with Epstein's criminal activities, his civil settlements, immunity or 261 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 3: plea agreements or investigatory proceedings, And again I would ask 262 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 3: the question about the hell is an invest investigatory proceeding 263 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 3: as opposed to an investment negation. So now you're gonna 264 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 3: get the names of every government official that is named 265 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 3: or referenced in connection with those criminal activities, with the 266 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 3: civil settlements, with immunity or any plea agreements. Again, that 267 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 3: may or may not tell you anything. So when I 268 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 3: look on my ex timeline, and I see all I 269 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 3: see people claiming that, oh my gosh, if you're against 270 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 3: this and you're trying to hide a pedophile, Okay, we're 271 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 3: you're gonna get these names. What does it prove? Not 272 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 3: a damn thing. Then there's the fifth category, entities like 273 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 3: a corporation, nonprofit and academic entity or governmental entity that 274 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 3: has a known or alleged tied to Epstein's trafficking or 275 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 3: financial networks. My question is what is a tie and 276 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 3: how is a network defined or identified? But that's what 277 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 3: they're going to disclose. Again, it doesn't prove any thing, 278 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 3: is just going to provide you. And I even hesitate 279 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 3: to use the word list because people keep saying, oh, 280 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 3: I want to see a list. I want to see 281 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 3: a list. I want to see a list of clients. Okay, 282 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 3: what does that prove to you? It depends on what 283 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 3: you define as a client, because a client could have 284 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 3: been someone who had hired Epstein for consultation for advice. Now, 285 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 3: don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to justify any 286 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 3: criminal activity. I'm just telling you that the reality is 287 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 3: what everybody's begging for. I don't think you're necessarily going 288 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 3: to get it. And when you do get these names 289 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 3: and these documents and these entities, I'm cautioning you that 290 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 3: it may not prove anything. And what I don't want 291 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 3: people to do is to start jumping to some conclusion that, oh, 292 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 3: because somebody was named here, that means therefore they must 293 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 3: be guilty. In other words, what I was arguing for 294 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 3: yesterday is being proven by the language of this agreement. 295 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 3: Now I've got one, two, three, I've got four more 296 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 3: to go through that this bill requires to be disclosed. 297 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: Next Michael, Every morning at five o'clock, i'd get up, 298 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: take the dogs out. The rooster started crowing me and 299 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: the dogs had come back in, sit down in front 300 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: of the radio, waiting for you to start at six. 301 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: You've screwed everything up. Now the rooster don't start growing 302 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: until nine thirty, and my dogs don't get out of 303 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: bed untill ten. 304 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 3: You've become a welfare listener. Your dog and your rooster 305 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 3: are just they're lazy, and you need to slip them 306 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 3: around a little bit. You need you need to wake 307 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 3: them up. You need to you need to get them 308 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 3: acclimated to the new schedule. We can't you cannot be 309 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 3: on the Googer list unless you comply with the rules. 310 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 3: And if you're not going to comply with the rules, 311 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 3: we get a lineup. I get line of people right here. 312 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,959 Speaker 3: There's Noel, there's maybe two or three yere. I got 313 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 3: a line of people lined up that are just waiting 314 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 3: to get on the goober list. So you know you 315 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 3: need to you need to shape up. So Dragon mark that, 316 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 3: mark that down. We'll we'll have to check back with 317 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 3: him and make it now this whole. I truly am 318 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 3: sick of this Epstein story, but not for reasons that 319 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 3: you may think. Do I have empathy and sympathy for 320 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 3: the victims, those known and unknown? Absolutely do I feel 321 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 3: badly at all for or do I care at all 322 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,959 Speaker 3: whether Epstein offed himself or somebody did it, other than 323 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 3: the fact that if somebody else did it, it was 324 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 3: a crime, and I want people to held accountable for crimes. 325 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 3: I really don't care if he offed himself. I don't 326 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 3: care yslaying Maxwell. She has been tried and convicted, she's 327 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 3: received her due process, she's now serving prison time, and 328 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 3: the system is working with her as the way it 329 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 3: is supposed to. What drives me crazy is how so 330 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 3: many people have been sucked into this story and won't 331 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 3: let it go because they have convinced themselves beyond any 332 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 3: reasonable doubt whatsoever, that there are still people out there. 333 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 3: And apparently, although you'll, you know, occasionally all hear like 334 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 3: Bill Clinton's name thrown out, or if you're a true partisan, 335 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 3: you'll throw Donald Trump's name out. But when I ask people, 336 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 3: who who do you really think is on this list? 337 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 3: That you're so you're so wound up, and you have 338 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 3: so much vested in this that you think that if 339 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 3: these files released, that some beat Do you think George 340 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 3: Soros is on the list? Do you think Jeff Bezos 341 00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 3: is on the list? Do you think Elon Musk is 342 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 3: on the list? You think Bill Gates is on the list? 343 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 3: Do you think you know the Pope is on the list? 344 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 3: Who the hell do you think is on this list? 345 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 3: That you're spending so much of your time, energy and 346 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 3: mental you're neurons that you're convinced that somebody somewhere is 347 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 3: hiding something and the entire world is conspiring to keep 348 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 3: us away from you, I say, good a life. The 349 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 3: world's going to hell in a handbasket. And if I 350 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 3: had to list the ten top things that I'm more 351 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 3: concerned about than this. I have been bam, bam, bam, 352 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 3: bam bam. Let me name those. The only reason that 353 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 3: I am going through this is to try to convince 354 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 3: you to one you need to prepare yourself to be 355 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 3: let down. Two, you need to stop and think. And 356 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 3: I'm not talking about you necessarily, but I am talking 357 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 3: about you that you need to convince yourself that maybe 358 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 3: you've been sucked into some political performative art going on, 359 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 3: some politics going on, that's really nothing more than just 360 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 3: trying to distract you from the very real issues that 361 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 3: are facing this country. That does not mean that we 362 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 3: don't want people who have committed pedophilia, who have who 363 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 3: have abused or trafficked in children, that they shouldn't be 364 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 3: held accountable. Absolutely they should be held accountable. But this 365 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 3: is not going to get you there, and if it does, 366 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 3: I'll be the first to say, well, I was wrong. 367 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 3: The documents proved or the documents don't prove anything. But 368 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 3: the documents might give evidence of somebody that might need 369 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 3: to be charged, go through a trial and either found 370 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 3: guilty or not guilty by a jury of their peers. 371 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 2: But that's all I would do. 372 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 3: It's not necessarily going to be the smoking gun that 373 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 3: everybody's all having an orgasm overthinking that it's going to. 374 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 3: So let's go so let's go back to Let's go 375 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 3: back to the list of what's required to be disclosed 376 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 3: by this bill. We've gone through the general You've got 377 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 3: all the investigating. 378 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 2: Files of both Epstein and Maxwell. 379 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 3: You got the flight logs, the travel records, the so 380 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 3: called lists, you got that. In number four again you 381 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 3: have a list individuals, government officials, anybody that is named 382 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 3: or reference in connection with any of his criminal activities. 383 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 3: The civil settlements, immunity or plea agreements. 384 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 2: Well, that's going to. 385 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 3: Be a thousands and thousands of people that may have 386 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 3: no criminal activity whatsoever. You've got the entities, you have, 387 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 3: the immunity deals, the non prosecution agreements, the plea bargains, 388 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 3: you have the sealed settlements involving Epstein or as associates. 389 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 3: What's an associate? Are the associates defined? Is that someone 390 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 3: that worked for him as a housekeeper? Is that somebody 391 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 3: that worked for him as a driver. Are the pilots associates? 392 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 3: It's wide open? Number seven are the Internal Department of 393 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 3: Justice communications that includes emails, memos, meeting notes concerning decisions 394 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 3: to charge and not to charge, investigating documents, or declinations 395 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 3: to investigate epstein Or's associates. Okay, well that's gonna tell 396 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 3: you this is what we looked at. And do you 397 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 3: really want if if somebody was investigated. Let's think about 398 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 3: number seven for a moment about internal communications. Let's say 399 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,479 Speaker 3: that somebody called the FBI hotline and they gave them 400 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 3: your name and they said that, you know, Joe blow 401 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 3: Is has been engaged in pedophilia with Jeffrey Epstein. Well, 402 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 3: they're gonna want to know how you know, what's your name, 403 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 3: what's your phone number? They're gonna know, you know, are 404 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 3: you willing to come in and talk to us. They're 405 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 3: gonna vet you a little bit. And let's say they decide, well, 406 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 3: you know, they seem believable, they seem credible, so I 407 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 3: think let's open an investigation. So the FBI opens an investigation, 408 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 3: and within one day they shut it down because there's 409 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 3: nothing there. That person will be in these documents, unless, 410 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 3: of course, the Attorney General makes a decision in order 411 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 3: to protect innocent people, she'll redact those names. Now, let's 412 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 3: say she does that. Let's take the example I just gave, 413 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 3: and she redacts a name. Are those of you who 414 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 3: are convinced that there's a cover up going on now 415 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 3: going to even further put on a double tinfoil hat 416 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 3: and say, oh my gosh, look they redacted the name. 417 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 3: That must be somebody they're trying to protect. I would say, yeah, 418 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 3: they probably are trying to protect them because they found 419 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 3: no evidence of any wrongdoing whatsoever. And why should their name? 420 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 3: Why should your name be dragged through this mud? This 421 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 3: whole story is really starting to irritate me. Number eight. 422 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,959 Speaker 3: Listen to this one closely. All communications, memorandum, directors, logs, 423 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 3: metadata concerning the destruction, deletion, alteration, misplacement, or concealment of documents, recordings, 424 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 3: or electronic data related to Epstein as associates, his detention 425 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 3: in death, or any investigati files. Well, okay, that's about 426 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 3: as wide as the Eyes and Hairrow tunnel. That's about 427 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:25,479 Speaker 3: as white as the Lincoln Tunnel. 428 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 2: That is bad. 429 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 3: That's about as wide as the Mississippi River. I hope 430 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 3: is as white as a break. Yes, as white as 431 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 3: a break. Let me do number nine real quickly. Number 432 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 3: nine is documentation of Epstein's detention and death and all 433 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 3: the incident reports. Now, when we get back, what's they're 434 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 3: going to tell you? 435 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: Hey, Michael, you thought it was noise to hear at 436 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 1: the car factory. I haven't heard a word you're saying 437 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: to that all I'm hearing all that background noise behind you. 438 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 2: Can you repeat that last night? 439 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 3: If you dragon? Is is the background noise coming through 440 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 3: it all? I can tell you that from my advantage point, 441 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 3: I can't even hear myself. There is so much noise 442 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 3: out here. It's amazing. 443 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 2: I just like hearing the grocery carts back into each other. 444 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,239 Speaker 2: That's that's fun. Oh, I know it's that. 445 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 3: And they're and they're trying to put up some of 446 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 3: their Christmas decorations and it's just like a total zoo 447 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 3: out here today. It's just hilarious. We're at the King 448 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 3: Supers at Colorado and Yale. We're doing the fifth annual 449 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 3: Kawa Food Drive for the Food Bank of the Rockies. 450 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 2: How are you doing? 451 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 3: Good to see you and if you want to stop 452 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 3: by and say hello, I'll be here for another hour. 453 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 3: And then the blonde chicks that you should be across 454 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 3: the Hall, she'll be showing up, but we've had some 455 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 3: people dropping off. We're starting to fill up the boxes, 456 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 3: so we need your help. Beans of any kind, canned 457 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 3: corn or other vegetables, canned fruit, rice, pasta, all types pasta, sauce, 458 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 3: cereal peanut, butter, tuna, whole frozen turkeys, all those things 459 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 3: to help the food bank of the Rockies. So come 460 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 3: out to Colorado. And by the way, don' let me 461 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 3: forget to thank Red Bird Farms their generous donation of 462 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 3: four thousand pounds of chicken breasts and the Colorado GMC dealers. 463 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 3: Visit your local GMC dealer for the full cer of 464 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 3: family lineup. Back to Epstein, and then I really don't 465 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 3: want to talk about Epstein anymore. Can we just stop? 466 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 3: I'm begging you, let me stop, Please let me stop. 467 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,239 Speaker 3: A few things to keep in mind before moving on. 468 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what Congress wants. Congress cannot command or 469 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 3: demand the Department of Justice take any action where that 470 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 3: command violates the constitutional separation of powers. We don't have 471 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 3: an imperial legislature any more than we have an imperial presidency. 472 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 3: The ability of Congress to command and demand and require 473 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 3: the public disclosure of internal Department of Justice communications is 474 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 3: not part of Congress oversight and the fact that Trump 475 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 3: might there during the break. I look, most alets are 476 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 3: reporting that Trump is expected to sign the bill sometime today. 477 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 3: If he does sign the bill, that does not constitute 478 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 3: a waiver on his part with respect to his presidential 479 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 3: authority to move forward and contest the constitutionality or the 480 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 3: legality of any individual precesion provision in this bill. He 481 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 3: has an obligation, remember the oath he takes, to see 482 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 3: that the laws are faithfully enforced and these The reverse 483 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 3: corollary of that is that he has an obligation to 484 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 3: not enforce laws that he believes are unconstitutional. And since 485 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 3: we don't have a line item veto, his only choice 486 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 3: is to sign the bill has passed or to veto it. 487 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 3: Now presidents have not adopted that the practice the practice 488 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 3: in some situations of issuing so called signing statements where 489 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 3: they identify certain parts of a bill they believe are 490 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 3: not constitutional. I don't think those units of statements are necessary. 491 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 3: So if he signs the bill today, I think what 492 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 3: will happen is that the Department of Justice, in Pam 493 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 3: BONDI will start going through and they will probably follow 494 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 3: what Representative Clay Higgins wrote over on X. If you 495 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 3: look at his account on X, he wrote this twenty 496 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 3: two hours ago. I have been a principal no on 497 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 3: this no on this bill from the beginning. What was 498 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 3: wrong with the bill three months ago is still wrong today. 499 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 3: It abandons two hundred and fifty years of criminal justice 500 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 3: procedure in America. As written this bill, this bill reveals 501 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 3: and injures thousands of innocent people, witnesses, people who provided alibis, 502 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 3: family members, etc. If enacted in its current form, this 503 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 3: type of broad reveal of criminal investigating files released to 504 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 3: a rabid media will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt. 505 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 3: Not by my I vote. The Oversight Committee is conducting 506 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 3: a thorough investigation that has already released well over sixty 507 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 3: thousand pages of documents from the Epstein case. He continues 508 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 3: that effort will continue in a manner that provides all 509 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 3: due protections for innocent Americans. If the Senative Men's the 510 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 3: bill toll properly address the privacy of victims and other 511 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 3: Americans who are named but not criminally implicated, then I 512 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 3: would vote for that bill when it comes back to 513 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 3: the house. But we know that did not happen, which 514 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 3: is why I thoroughly believe that what Pam Bondi will 515 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 3: do is her staff. She'll have, She'll bring in some attorney, 516 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 3: some US attorneys, some lawyers specialize in redaction and reviewing documents, 517 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 3: and they'll go through it as much as they can 518 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 3: to make certain that people who are innocent of any 519 00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 3: wrongdoing are not embarrassed or implicated or then subjected to 520 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 3: a crazy media that will be sticking cameras in their 521 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 3: faces asking well, you were, your name was in there, 522 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 3: what'd you do? 523 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 2: What you do? What'd you do? So please, can I 524 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 2: just ask everybody 525 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 3: Deep breath inhale, exhale, and we'll talk about Chinese farmland 526 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 3: in America next
