1
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

2
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 2: Pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval on

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: these people.

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: You've not got a free shot.

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: All these networks lying about the people, the people have

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: had a belly full of it.

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 3: I know you don't like hearing that.

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: I know you tried to do everything in the world

9
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 2: to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

10
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: It's going to happen.

11
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 3: And where do people like that go to share the

12
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 3: big line? Mega media?

13
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of

14
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 2: these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my

15
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: task and what is my purpose? If that answer is

16
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: to save my country, this country.

17

Speaker 2: around so when the finishes, you're gonna come back order

27
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: to kill this situation with the Chinese Commist Party. And

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: by the way, let me ask you first where I

29
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: got you does all this running around? Because I've had

30
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: a thousand people all over me, why aren't you talking

31
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: about it? And I said, well, look first I want

32
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: to figure it out. She's being overthrown by the military.

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: There's gun battles in Beijing, in the Forbidden City. She's

34
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: just consolidating power. You're one of the smartest observers, and you,

35
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: like me, are dedicated to having Laobaijing's back to take

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: these animals, because they're true savages, to take them down

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: and throw them in the dust heap of history. What

38
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: is your take on what's happened in Beijing over the

39
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: last couple of days between the military and President.

40
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 4: Well, Steve, it's actually a really unprecedented moment. I mean,

41
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 4: I was just talking with one of my top top analysts, Hunghua,

42
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 4: about these realities. I Mean he says it's sort of

43
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 4: a once in a generation or once in a decade

44
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 4: shift that's just happened. I mean, what really what happened

45
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 4: is that Shijin Ping managed to purge the top of

46
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 4: the top of the military commission Jiang Yshah. Okay, so

47
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 4: this is actually a professional leader of the military. This

48
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 4: is the guy who actually knew how to run the military.

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 4: This is a situation where five of the seven of

50
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 4: the top military readers that we're talking the top top

51
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 4: I've actually been purged by Sijin Ping. Okay, going back

52
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 4: about a year now, right there was all this kerfuffle

53
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 4: and so forth happening there. This was the military basically

54
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: trying to take and they took a bunch of control

55
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: from she this right now is she punching, Okay, But

56
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 4: here's the scary part. She basically has broken as Hung

57
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 4: hud described, the kind of the unwritten rules of the party.

58
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 4: There's certain things, there's certain ways though even in a mafia,

59
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 4: are something that things need to work. Hi Jinping has

60
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 4: just kind of torn that apart in his quest to

61
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 4: achieve that total power that he's looking for, and in

62
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 4: the process, the bureaucracy itself, the kind of the whole

63
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 4: system under him is now wondering what to do, what

64
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: Allian is going to have? What way can I save

65
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 4: myself from being purged. It doesn't it's not clear that

66
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 4: there's a way out. So I mean it's it's a

67
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 4: really profound moment, and it's not really something that we've

68
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 4: seen in a very long time, perhaps as far back

69
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 4: as you know Mao Zadong being purged to a degree.

70
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: Because she up to know is name so president for life.

71
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: All the rules of it, all the rules they hit,

72
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: the systems they hit. After dengshoping is a started. Okay,

73
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: let's hanging for one second. We're going to go to

74
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: Main Justice for a moment.

75
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 5: The instigations and prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein and Justlaine Maxwell.

76
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 5: I'm here today to talk about the Department's compliance with

77
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 5: its production obligations under the Act. Around I think right

78
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 5: now and continuing throughout the day to day as the

79
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 5: indexing and uploading completes, we are producing responsive materials under

80
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 5: the Act. We are also releasing today a letter we

81
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 5: are transmitting to Congress, and various internal.

82
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 3: Protocols associated with our review.

83
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 5: I want to take a moment to thank the professionals

84
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 5: at the Department of Justice who met twice daily, sometimes

85
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 5: more for the last seventy five days.

86
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: To get to where we are today.

87
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 5: The leadership teams from the Office of the Attorney General,

88
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 5: from the Deputy turn of General's Office, the Associate Attorney

89
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 5: General's Office, the Criminal Division, National Security Division, the FBI,

90
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 5: the Southern Disc of Florida, the Southern Disc of New York,

91
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 5: and the Northern Disc of New York all gave up

92
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 5: many hours every single day on top of their other,

93
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 5: of course, full time obligations, to fulfill the President Trump's

94
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 5: promise of transparency to the American people. I also want

95
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 5: to thank the more than five hundred lawyers and professionals

96
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 5: across all those divisions that I just mentioned, and others

97
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 5: who worked long days, nights, weekends, Christmas, New Year's Eve,

98
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 5: New Year's Day, nights, weekends, and holidays to complete this production.

99
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 5: These highly trained reviewers spend their careers putting bad guys

100
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 5: in jail and effectuating the mission of the Department, and

101
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 5: to a person, they work tirelessly to protect victims and

102
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 5: comply with the Act since its passage. So thank you

103
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 5: to all of them. Today we are producing more than

104
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 5: three million pages, including more than two thousand videos and

105
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 5: one hundred and eighty thousand images in total. That means

106
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 5: that the Department produced approximately three and a half million

107
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 5: pages in compliance with the Act. Just a quick note

108
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 5: about the videos and images. The two thousand videos and

109
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 5: one hundred and eighty thousand images are not all videos

110
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 5: and images taken by mister Epstein or someone around him.

111
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 5: They include large quantities of commercial pornography and images that

112
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 5: were seized from Epstein's devices but which he did not take,

113
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 5: or that someone around him did not take. Some of

114
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 5: the videos, though, and some of the images do appear

115
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 5: to be taken by mister Epstein or by others or

116
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 5: around him.

117
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 3: Now, I want to talk for a few minutes.

118
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 5: About the Department's document identification and review protocols. It consisted

119
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 5: of multiple layers of review and quality control designed to

120
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 5: ensure compliance under the Act and protect victims. On top

121
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 5: of the review protocols that the Department had in place,

122
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 5: the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern Diis of

123
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 5: New York employed an additional review protocol to ensure compliance

124
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 5: with a court order requiring United States Attorney Jay Clayton

125
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 5: to certify that with respect to certain materials a large

126
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 5: quantity of the materials, a rigorous process was undertaken to

127
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 5: protect victims against any clearly unwarranted invasion of their personal privacy.

128
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 5: The Department's collection effort resulted in more than six million

129
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 5: pages being identified as potentially responsive, including Department and FBI emails,

130
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 5: interview summaries, images, videos, and various other materials collected and

131
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 5: generated during the various investigations and prosecutions that.

132
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 3: The Act covered.

133
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 5: We aired on the side of over collection of materials

134
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 5: from various sources to bestment ensure maximum transparency and compliance,

135
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 5: which necessarily means that the number of responsive pages is

136
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 5: significantly smaller than the total number of pages initially collected.

137
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 5: That's why I mentioned a moment ago, we're releasing more

138
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 5: than three million pages today and not the six million

139
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 5: pages that we that we collected. I want to address

140
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 5: what we didn't produce. The categories of documents withheld include

141
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 5: those permitted under the Act to be withheld, files that

142
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 5: contain personal, personally identify information of victims or victims, personal

143
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 5: and medical files, and similar files, the disclosure of which

144
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 5: would constitute a clearly unwarded invasion of personal privacy. Any

145
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 5: depiction of ce SAM or child pornography was obviously excluded.

146
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 5: Anything that would jeopardize an active federal investigation, and finally,

147
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 5: only anything that depicts or contain images of death, physical abuse,

148
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 5: or injury also not produced.

149
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: Although although the Act.

150
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 5: Allows for withholding for items necessary to keep secret in

151
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 5: the interest of national security or foreign policy, no files

152
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 5: are being withheld or redacted on that basis.

153
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 3: Further, as we previously.

154
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 5: Stated in our December nineteenth letter of last year, the

155
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 5: Department withheld or redacted files contain covered by various privileges,

156
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 5: as we always do, including deliberative process privileged, work product privilege,

157
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 5: and attorney client privilege. As you all know, under the Act,

158
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 5: the Department must subsequently submit to the House and Senate

159
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 5: Committees on the Judiciary report listing all categories of records

160
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 5: released and withheld, a summary of redactions made, including the

161
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 5: legal basis for such redactions, and a list of all

162
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 5: government officials and politically exposed persons named or referenced in

163
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 5: the Act. We will do so in due course required.

164
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 3: Under the Act.

165
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 5: I want to talk for just a moment about the

166
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 5: redactions that will be obvious to anyone who reviews the

167
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 5: materials that we just produce today. In addition to the

168
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 5: documentary redactions, which includes personal identifying information, victim information and

169
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 5: other privileges. There is extensive redactions to images and videos.

170
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: To protect victims.

171
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 5: We redacted every woman depicted in any image or video,

172
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 5: with the exception of Ms.

173
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: Maxwell.

174
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 5: We did not redact images of any men unless it

175
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 5: was impossible to redact the woman without also redacting the man.

176
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 5: To this end, though, and to ensure transparency, if any

177
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 5: Member of Congress wishes to review any portions of the

178
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 5: response of production in any unredacted form, they're welcome to

179
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 5: make arrangements with the Department to do so, and we're

180
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 5: happy to do that. I want to talk for men

181
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 5: about something that is important. Every single day of the year,

182
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 5: the Department of Justice investigates and prosecutes those who abuse

183
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 5: in traffic young women and children.

184
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 3: Just last year, the.

185
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 5: FBI had located over twenty seven hundred victims of child exploitation.

186
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 5: The Department of Justice found and terminated three point eight million.

187
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 3: Dark web pedophile accounts.

188
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 5: In August, we charged eleven defendants for extensive sex trafficking

189
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 5: in Los Angeles of illegal immigrants and underage women.

190
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 3: Last month, we.

191
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 5: Charged five men who were engaged in a sadistic sextortion

192
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 5: network of deranged young men abusing women.

193
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 3: Over the past several months. Last summer and into.

194
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 5: The fall, we executed Operation Restored Justice, rescuing two hundred

195
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 5: and five child victims and arresting two hundred and ninety

196
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 5: three offenders. I point this out because I take umbrage

197
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 5: at the suggestion, which is totally false, that the Attorney

198
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 5: General or this department does not take child exploitation or

199
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 5: sex trafficking seriously, or that we somehow do not want

200
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 5: to protect victims.

201
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: We do.

202
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 5: There are some select members of Congress and some in

203
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 5: the public eye, including those most critical of our efforts

204
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 5: at full transparency under the Act, who remains silent as

205
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 5: to all the work that we have done and continue

206
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 5: to do every day in this space, while quickly pointing

207
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 5: a finger at the Attorney General or this department because

208
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 5: we were careful in our review of millions of pages

209
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 5: of documents over the past two months. The Attorney General,

210
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 5: the Director of the FBI, and our partners throughout this

211
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 5: administration work hard every single day to protect the most

212
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 5: vulnerable among us. With the production of this magnitude, mistakes

213
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 5: are inevitable. We of course want to immediately correct any

214
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 5: redaction errors that our team may have made, and so

215
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 5: the Department has established an email into inbox for victims

216
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 5: to reach us directly to correct redactions and any concerns

217
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 5: when appropriate. That's been in existence since December, and we've

218
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 5: been doing that since then. Finally, a very small portion

219
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 5: of the documents collected pursuant to the Act include materials

220
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 5: that a law firm produced to the sd and Y

221
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 5: in twenty nineteen pursuant to a grand jury subpoena. This

222
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 5: was during the criminal investigation of Ms. Maxwell. We determined

223
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 5: it would be prudent to seek an order from the

224
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 5: court in the southernist of New York seeking production of

225
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 5: these materials subject to the protective order in that civil lawsuit.

226
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 5: To that end, the Department has filed that motion with

227
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 5: the appropriate judge and the sdm Y, and if that

228
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 5: motion is granted, we'll release those materials with appropriate redactions immediately.

229
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 5: Today's release marks the end of a very comprehensive documentary,

230
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 5: document identification and review process. To ensure transparency to the

231
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 5: American people and compliance with the Act. The Department has

232
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 5: engaged in an unprecedented and extensive effort to do so.

233
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 3: After submitting the final report.

234
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 5: To Congress as required under the Act, and publishing the

235
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 5: written justifications for reactions in the Federal Register. The Department's

236
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 5: obligations under the Act.

237
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 3: Will be will be completed.

238
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 5: I'm happy to take any questions anybody has about about that.

239
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 6: Todd.

240
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 7: I'd like to ask you about this in a kind

241
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 7: of Minnesota question for you. On the Epstein release today,

242
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 7: it was recently made public that Elaine Maxwell claims more

243
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 7: than two dozen men signed secret agreements with the federal

244
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 7: government not to be prosecuted. What is your reaction to

245
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 7: that and what does that mean for her case.

246
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 5: I read an article that described I wasn't aware that

247
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 5: it was actual men that she's claiming. I thought it

248
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 5: was accomplices, which I'm not sure if if that's a

249
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 5: reference to some of the financial institutions or other individuals that.

250
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 3: So, yes, I don't. I don't have a reaction to

251
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 3: her filing. I can tell you that.

252
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 5: We reviewed, as I just described, every single piece of

253
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 5: paper that we have associated with these investigations mister Epstein

254
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 5: and Ms Maxwell, and to the extent that such arrangements exist,

255
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 5: I'm not aware of them.

256
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 7: To Minnesota, if I may ask you real quick, that's

257
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 7: in the topic in the headlines right now, there's a

258
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 7: new video of a man believed to be Alex Preddy,

259
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 7: who's spitting, who's kicking out a tail light of a

260
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 7: law enforcement vehicle. Does that change the perception of a

261
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 7: potential dooja investigation? Is there going to be a civil

262
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 7: rights investigation into his death? Where does that land? Now

263
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 7: that that videos out that I have a put follow upon.

264
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 5: That I don't So look, I don't think a single

265
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 5: video should change any perception the Department of Justice may

266
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 5: or may not have about that tragic occurrence last Saturday.

267
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 5: We've said repeatedly over the past week that of course

268
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 5: this is something that we're investigating, and we are. That's

269
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 5: what we would we would always do in circumstances like this,

270
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 5: And so there's an investigation that's ongoing, which I'm not

271
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 5: going to talk about. But just look, the problem is

272
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 5: an initial reaction to a particular video one or another.

273
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 5: You're talking about one that happened apparently some days ahead

274
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 5: of last Saturday. It's an investigation. So an investigation necessarily

275
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 5: means means just that. It means talking to witnesses, it

276
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 5: means looking at documentary evidence, sending subpoenas if you have to.

277
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 3: And the Department of Justice Civil.

278
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 5: Rights Division had the best experts in the world at

279
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 5: this that they've been doing it for decades, and so

280
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 5: I expect that and that investigation will will proceed with

281
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 5: those parameters in mind.

282
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 7: Are you looking at a nexus of left wing roots?

283
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 7: This DJ said that that's something that you guys were

284
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 7: concerned about. Are you following money? Are you looking at

285
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 7: a potential that all of this may be related somewhere?

286
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 3: I mean yes, thank.

287
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 8: You, mister Deputy Attorney General. You said in your remarks

288
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 8: that you've withheld some documents because of ongoing investigations. I've

289
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 8: done this long enough to know you can't comment on

290
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 8: ongoing investigations, But can you say a little bit more,

291
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 8: because as you know, the Department has been criticized for

292
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 8: not bringing charges against more people. Are there still open

293
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 8: investigations related to Jeffrey Epstein?

294
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 5: So what I was laying out in my comments is

295
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 5: the statutory what the statue talks about about what we

296
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 5: can withhold and the reasons that we can withhold it.

297
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 5: I wasn't pointing to any particular I wasn't trying to

298
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 5: be KOI or otherwise suggests there's some investigation.

299
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 3: As you all know, Jay.

300
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 5: Clayton in New York is in charge of any potential investigations,

301
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 5: and I'm not going to comment beyond that on.

302
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 6: That Clayton excuse.

303
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,479
Speaker 8: When you were referring to Clayton's investigation.

304
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 3: I wasn't referring to anything.

305
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 5: I was just saying that Congress and their wisdom allowed

306
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 5: us to withhold documents if there were ongoing criminal investigations.

307
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 5: That's one of the four reasons I wanted to make

308
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 5: clear with respect to any national security information that we

309
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 5: were not withholding. There's not some tranch of super secret

310
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 5: documents about Jeffrey Epstein that were withholding or actually not

311
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 5: withholding anything based upon NDI.

312
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 3: Branch.

313
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: Thank you for your time. Two questions for you.

314
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 9: Number one pushing politics aside and everyone else aside. Some

315
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 9: of the victims of Epstein have expressed frustration with the

316
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 9: entire process. I want to give you the opportunity to

317
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 9: speak directly to them.

318
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 3: Well, I don't, I don't know what you're what you're

319
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 3: speaking to.

320
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 5: I mean, if there's frustration with quote the entire process,

321
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 5: same here. I mean, you have a situation where for

322
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 5: many many years, nobody even breathed a word about Jeffrey Epstein,

323
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden, it was all anybody

324
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 5: would talk about going into the last spring and summer,

325
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 5: culminating in the passage of the Transparency Act. And President

326
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 5: Trump has said four years what I think everybody will

327
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 5: find to be exactly true, which is detailing his relationship

328
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 5: and lack that of with mister Epstein and what he

329
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 5: thought about mister Epstein. And and notwithstanding what the Department

330
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 5: has been saying for a very long time, we're still

331
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 5: where we are today. Listen, victims of mister Epstein have

332
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 5: gone through unspeakable pain, and there's nobody that that should

333
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 5: say anything differently. And and I to the extent that

334
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 5: there's frustration, I understand where that comes from, just from

335
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 5: what we know about mister Epstein.

336
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 3: I hope that the work that.

337
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 5: The men and women within this department have done over

338
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 5: the past two months hopefully is able to bring closure.

339
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 3: I think that what we told our reviewers is that

340
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 3: that was the goal.

341
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 5: You know, there's this mantra out there that, oh, you know,

342
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 5: the Department of Justice is supposed to protect Donald J. Trump,

343
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 5: And that's what we were telling that's not true. That was

344
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 5: never the case. We are always concerned about the victims.

345
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 5: When we said that we were not legally allowed to

346
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 5: release documents, that's a fact that was true, it remains

347
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 5: true today. And then with the Acts passage, we are

348
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 5: able now and directed to release documents, which is what

349
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 5: we are doing. But so hopefully, hopefully some of those

350
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 5: frustrations are now eased. Listen, any victim that wants to

351
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 5: speak with the Department has has done so. Hopefully, if not,

352
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 5: they should. The the prosecutors from this case in New

353
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 5: York have have given hundreds, if not thousands of hours

354
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 5: to working with victims, and that's what we do every day,

355
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 5: and that's what we did in this case as well.

356
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 9: So very quickly, can you sure, can you assure the

357
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 9: American public the President Trump, like every other prominent person

358
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 9: whose name came up in relation to the Epstein fives,

359
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 9: that all documents, photos, and anything relevant to him connected

360
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 9: to the case are being released.

361
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 5: I mean, yes, I can assure that we complied with

362
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 5: the statute, we complied with the Act, and there is

363
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 5: no that we did not protect President Trump. We didn't

364
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 5: protect or not protect anybody. I mean, I think that

365
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 5: that we that there's a hunger or a thirst for

366
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 5: information that I do not think will be satisfied by

367
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 5: the review of these documents. And and there's it's not

368
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 5: there's nothing I can do about that. But President Trump,

369
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 5: of all the people in Washington, d c. And around

370
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 5: this country that have said for years the same consistent

371
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 5: message about Jeffrey Epstein's President Trump. And so there's not

372
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 5: been a change of course or anything. And certainly his

373
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 5: direction to the American people in the Department of sorry,

374
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 5: his direction to the Department of Justice, was to be

375
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 5: as transparent, release the files, be as transparent as we can,

376
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 5: and that's exactly what we did.

377
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 8: Clarify your remarks on the Alex pretty killing.

378
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 10: Are you saying that the Justice from it has opened

379
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 10: a civil rights investigation into his debt?

380
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: Yes?

381
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean look, and I know there's a lot

382
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 5: of there's been a lot of discussion among the media

383
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 5: around that, but just think about what that means.

384
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 3: All that that means is that.

385
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 5: DHS, as they've as the Secretary has said, is conducting

386
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 5: an investigation as they should and as they do every

387
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 5: time there's a tragic event like this, and the FBI,

388
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 5: in their role, which is a separate role from DHS,

389
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 5: is also take looking into it and conducting event listigation.

390
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 3: And that's not that shouldn't be treated as as as

391
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 3: making news.

392
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,719
Speaker 5: It's just we've said that for a week and it

393
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 5: remains as true today as it was last Sunday when

394
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 5: I said it.

395
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 11: Two questions for you, one on topic and one Yeah,

396
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 11: two questions for you, one on topic and one separate

397
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 11: on topic. Do you have any information that you could

398
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 11: just share because three million documents is a lot for

399
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 11: people who are watching this at home.

400
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 4: Are there any new names or new.

401
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 11: People, public people and positions of power who you're getting

402
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 11: found in these filings?

403
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 5: I don't have anything to share about what's new or

404
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 5: not new, and there's no I don't have anything to

405
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 5: share about that.

406
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 11: And to follow up on that, do you have a

407
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 11: reaction to the arrest of Don Lennon overnight?

408
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 3: Do a reaction to what Don.

409
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 11: Lemon's arrest overnight?

410
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 5: Do you have a reaction to it? I don't know

411
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,719
Speaker 5: what that means. What are you looking for me to do?

412
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 3: Jump up and down? No, I don't have a reaction

413
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 3: to it.

414
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 5: I don't know that his that the charges are unsealed yet,

415
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 5: so I know I can't.

416
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 3: I'm not going to comment on that.

417
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 12: Thank you. You said, this is the end of the

418
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 12: Epstein of your review of the Epstein files. So just

419
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 12: to clarify, or is the public going to learn the

420
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 12: identities of the men who abused the girls with the

421
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 12: information that you're releasing?

422
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 3: And if not, why not?

423
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 12: And then I have a quick follow I mean.

424
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 5: You just baked in an assumption into your question that

425
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 5: I have never said and I don't know to be true.

426
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 5: Is the public going to learn about men that abuse

427
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 5: these girls?

428
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 13: Like?

429
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 3: What does that mean? I understand what that means.

430
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 12: Well, I mean they're the men who abused the young

431
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 12: women through Epstein's.

432
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 5: We said in July, and it remains as true today

433
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 5: as it was in July. If we had information we

434
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 5: meeting the Department of Justice about men who abused women,

435
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 5: we would we would we would prosecute them, right. We

436
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 5: talked about the work that we're doing. That's why I

437
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 5: said that there's I said this earlier. There's this built

438
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 5: in assumption that somehow there's this hidden tranche of information

439
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 5: of men that we know about that we're covering up,

440
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 5: or that we're not we're choosing not to prosecute.

441
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,719
Speaker 3: That is not the case. I don't know whether there

442
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 3: are men out there that abuse these women.

443
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 5: If we learn about information and evidence that that allows

444
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 5: us to prosecute them, you better believe we will.

445
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 3: But I don't think that that.

446
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 5: That the public or you all are going to uncover

447
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 5: men within the Epstein files that abuse women.

448
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 12: Unfortunately, just to follow up on the investigation into uh

449
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 12: Federal Chairman Drone Pow is the Justice Department what's the

450
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 12: status of that investigation now now that President Trump has

451
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 12: nominated a new FED chair? Are you is the Justice

452
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 12: Department looking to bring a close to the investigation into

453
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 12: Chairman Pals as soon as possible.

454
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 5: I don't have a comment on that. On on the

455
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 5: subpoenas that were issued. I don't think the timing of

456
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 5: President Trump's decision to nominate somebody is a controlling factor

457
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 5: in any investigation.

458
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,479
Speaker 14: I just wanted to follow up on Alana's question. So

459
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 14: you're saying that the shooting investigation of alex Pretty is

460
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 14: now a civil rights investigation. You're saying you're implying that

461
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 14: that's always been the case. Can you also say it

462
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 14: has that? What about the shooting of Rene Good, I mean,

463
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 14: is she is that?

464
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 15: Why or why not?

465
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 14: Is that a civil rights investigation?

466
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 5: I didn't say it was always a case. I said,

467
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 5: it's the same thing that we said as of last Sundays.

468
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 5: With respect to last weekend, there are thousands, unfortunately, of

469
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 5: law enforcement events every year where somebody is shot.

470
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 3: The Civil Rights Division of.

471
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 5: The Department of Justice does not investigate every one of

472
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 5: those shootings. There has to be circumstances or facts or

473
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 5: maybe unknown facts, but certainly circumstances that warrant an investigation.

474
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 5: So when we talked about when I talked about last weekend,

475
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 5: and when others have talked about this week, the fact

476
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 5: that of President Trump has said repeatedly, of course, this

477
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 5: is something we're going to investigate. That's what I meant

478
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 5: about what we're doing. It doesn't mean that every time

479
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 5: that there's a federal officer related shooting that that's something

480
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 5: civil rights takes up.

481
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 3: It depends on the circumstances.

482
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 14: Follow up on that, can you just I know you

483
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 14: can't be specific about details of the investigation, but can

484
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 14: you kind of just characterize the scope of the pretty investigation,

485
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 14: what kinds of things that they'll be looking.

486
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 5: For and of all, well, I mean, it's an investigation,

487
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 5: So what do we think we're looking at. We're looking

488
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 5: at everything that would would get shed light on what

489
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 5: happened that day and in the days and weeks leading

490
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 5: up to what happened. And that's like any investigation that

491
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 5: the Department of Justice and.

492
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 3: The FBI does every day.

493
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 5: It means we're looking at videos, talking to witnesses, trying

494
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 5: to understand what happened. I mean, you're talking about an

495
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 5: incredibly tragic morning, and then trying to unwind and investigate

496
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 5: that is it takes a lot of time. I'm not

497
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 5: going to prejudice what they're doing or.

498
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 3: Not doing by laying any you know, any.

499
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 5: Markers, but I expect that the folks that are doing

500
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 5: this are the most experienced in this space and are

501
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 5: doing that.

502
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 16: Yeah.

503
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 6: So to follow up on that, how would a civil

504
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 6: rights investigation work with DHS taking the lead, which is

505
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 6: what was said over the weekend, And are prosecutors in Minnesota,

506
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 6: I mean, who is involved in this. We know that

507
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 6: there's a lot of frustration within the Department booth in

508
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 6: Minnesota and the Civil Rights Division that they feel they

509
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 6: are not being brought in and they are the experts here,

510
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 6: so so just develop how would this work with DHS

511
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 6: taking the lead and who is from dj involved in

512
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 6: this investigation.

513
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 3: I don't think that.

514
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 5: Look, I think anytime there's a every single federal agency,

515
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 5: including DHS, as a process that they use when there's

516
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 5: something that happens, an internal review, investigation, however you want

517
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 5: to want to, that's what DHS was doing, as they

518
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 5: do every single time something like this happened.

519
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 3: There was nothing unique to these facts.

520
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 5: There might have been outsized focus on it because of

521
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 5: what happened, but DHS was doing an investigation. I don't

522
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 5: know that that will stop. I don't expect that investigation

523
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 5: to stop because we're investigating, and of course we're coordinating

524
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 5: with them. We're not there's nothing we're not working against

525
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 5: them or but but it's it's a it's there's I

526
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 5: suppose potentially separate goals or potential goals in the two investigations.

527
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 5: I mean DHS is conducting an investigation and and and

528
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 5: then the FBI conducts an investigation. It's not as if

529
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 5: one goes one way and one goes the other. But

530
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 5: they are their own their own investigations.

531
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 6: Very clearly said on Sunday that HSI is leading the investigation,

532
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 6: and he did not want to overstep and say anything.

533
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 6: Was that not true anymore or was that true at

534
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 6: the time.

535
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 3: I don't.

536
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 5: I don't think it's fair to say whether it's true anymore, okay,

537
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 5: And I don't think it's also, I don't want to

538
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 5: say whose lead or not lead. I don't even to

539
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 5: know what that means in the course of an investigation.

540
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 5: The FBI is investigating, they are for sure coordinating with

541
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 5: Secretary Nome and her folks as well, and I expect

542
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 5: DHS is also continuing their investigation to some extent.

543
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 3: And there's outside folks on this.

544
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 5: This happens, like I said, thousands of times a year,

545
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 5: and it is tragic every single time it happens. And

546
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 5: it's tragic this time like it's tragic every other time.

547
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 5: And so there is a process that has to be

548
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 5: allowed to play out internally with these law enforcement organizations

549
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 5: and certainly with the FBI as well, to allow this

550
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 5: investigation to go on.

551
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 16: You've talked about the expectations surrounding the Epstein files. Do

552
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 16: you agree that the DOJ itself, senior officials at the

553
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 16: DJ played up those expectations for the first half of

554
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 16: this year. I'm just started trying to understand what responsibility

555
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 16: does the Justice Department have for the criticism that has

556
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 16: come over the handling of the Epstein files.

557
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 5: I'm not commenting on criticism. Some people can criticize all

558
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 5: they want. My point was just to make plane that

559
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 5: when it comes to what we've been doing the past

560
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 5: two months and why we weren't able to complete the

561
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 5: review of six over six million pages.

562
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 3: Okay, so you're.

563
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 5: Talking about two Eiffel Towers of pages in thirty days

564
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 5: in a way that made sure we complied with the Act.

565
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 5: So the Act had multiple requirements, get it done in

566
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 5: thirty days, and you better not release any victim information.

567
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 5: So there's a lot of statutory construction, there's a lot

568
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 5: of case law that exists that says that if those

569
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 5: two are in conflict, we obviously are not violating the

570
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 5: thirty day requirement by taking our time to comply with

571
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 5: the Act.

572
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 3: And so.

573
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 5: My comments were directed at this idea that because we

574
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 5: didn't review the six plus million pages within thirty days,

575
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 5: somehow the Attorney General doesn't care about victims or is

576
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 5: further doing damage to victims because of that, because exactly

577
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 5: the opposite is true when it comes to the Attorney General.

578
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 10: Sir, I have questions on Epstein and Minnesota. First, on

579
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 10: Minnesota or transparency, would you commit to releasing the bodycam

580
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 10: video from federal officers that was involved in that shooting

581
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 10: and their names at a point when the investigation can

582
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 10: allow that when you make that public. And I did

583
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 10: not hear clarity on whether Renee Goods case is also

584
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 10: in a civil rights realm.

585
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 5: I'm not committing to anything with respect that investigation. That

586
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 5: would be completely unfair to the investigation itself. For me

587
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 5: to stand here and commit to something for any reason,

588
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 5: It just it depends. It depends on what happens with

589
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 5: the investigation, and that's a decision that we've made by

590
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 5: by the folks that are working the investigation. As it

591
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 5: relates to me as Good, I don't, like I said before,

592
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 5: there's investigations that happen all the time respect to shootings

593
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 5: like what happened last Saturday, and cases are handled differently

594
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 5: by this department depending on the circumstances.

595
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 3: On Sir.

596
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 10: On Epstein, Sir, if I may just ask one on

597
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 10: that please, You mentioned a letter to Congress? How and

598
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 10: to whom did you notify the White House about the

599
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 10: production that you're announcing today before you.

600
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 8: Came out and spoke to us.

601
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 10: How did I do what by the White House? What

602
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 10: was your interface with the White House? You said there's

603
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 10: a letter to Congress. Who did you update at the

604
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 10: White House about this?

605
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 3: Well? I don't know. I don't really understand the question.

606
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 3: You mean, who did I update that?

607
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 10: Does you provide them an explanation of what today's release

608
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 10: would be.

609
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 5: Look, my team has certain communications with the White House.

610
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 5: Let me just be clear. They had nothing to do

611
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 5: with this review. They had no oversight over this review.

612
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 5: They did not tell this department how to do our review,

613
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 5: what to look for, what to redact, what to not redact.

614
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 3: They absolutely knew that.

615
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 5: I was doing this press conference today and that we're

616
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 5: releasing the materials today.

617
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 3: But there's not.

618
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 5: There's no oversight by the White House and the process

619
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 5: that we've undertaken over the past sixty days.

620
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 17: I wanted to ask a question about the evidence in

621
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 17: the alex Pretty investigation. Early on, our reporting showed that

622
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 17: the only type of evidence that the FBI initially had

623
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 17: in its possession that it was processing for ballistics in DNA, etc.

624
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 13: Was Preddy's firearm?

625
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 17: It did not have the firearm. The two firearms that

626
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 17: were used to shoot Preddy, those were in the hands

627
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 17: of HSI. And also there were concerns about chain of custody,

628
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 17: things not being properly bagged and tagged, etc. Where are

629
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 17: the guns now? Are they in the FBI's possession and

630
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 17: being reviewed at one of their labs? And who has

631
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 17: the phone that Preddie was using and filming and is

632
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 17: that going to be reviewed by the FBI?

633
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 6: I don't know.

634
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 3: I don't have an answer those questions.

635
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 5: Look, I think that there's Secretory Nome has been clear

636
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 5: with the American people but also with the Department of

637
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 5: Justice that we're doing this together, we're coordinating, and so

638
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 5: I'm not following the in the weeds about who actually

639
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 5: has possession of the firearms that were discharged in.

640
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 17: The FBI would need in order to conduct a thorough

641
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 17: investigation into a color of this is obviously a color.

642
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 5: When I said I didn't know, I wasn't being critical

643
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 5: of the question. I was just simply saying I don't know.

644
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 18: On the Pulton County seizure of ballots, local officials there.

645
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 18: Election officials say those materials were set to become public

646
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 18: by February ninth, and that the Justice Department could.

647
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 3: Have simply asked for them.

648
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 18: Why was it necessary to conduct a search ward? And

649
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 18: do you expect the affidavit in that search ward matter

650
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 18: to become public anytime soon? Do you have any commat

651
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 18: or explanation as to why that was necessary?

652
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 5: Listen, I'm not going to comment on it's a criminal investigation.

653
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 5: I'm not I will not comment on it. I will

654
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 5: say that that it should be no surprise in many

655
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 5: of this room that or anybody watching, that election integrity

656
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 5: is extraordinarily important to this administration, always has been and

657
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 5: always will be. And so the fact that that that

658
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 5: President Trump and this administration are investigating to to make

659
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 5: sure that well our investigating issues around elections to make

660
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 5: sure that we do have completely fair and appropriate election

661
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 5: elections should not be surprising. But I can't comment on

662
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 5: any criminal investigations.

663
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 13: To follow up on that, regarding Fulton County, can you

664
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 13: explain Tulsi Gabbard's role and could you please explain Tulsi

665
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 13: Gabbard's role in DJ activity regarding the Fulton County.

666
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 3: Search what do you mean her role.

667
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 13: It was reported that she was she.

668
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 5: Happened to be president in Atlanta. I mean, yes, I

669
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 5: saw the same photo as you did. I mean she's

670
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 5: not she doesn't work for the Department of Justice or

671
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 5: the FBI. She's an extraordinarily important part of this administration.

672
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 5: This administrytion coordinates everything we do as a group, and

673
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 5: so I think her presence shouldn't be that there shouldn't

674
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 5: be questioned. Of course, then that's that's a big part

675
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 5: of her of her job. And so the fact that

676
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 5: she was present in Atlanta that day, you know, it's

677
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 5: something that shouldn't surprise anybody.

678
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 15: Just calling up that.

679
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 13: So are you saying that Jabbard's appearance in that area

680
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 13: had nothing to do with just.

681
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 3: Most certainly did not say that. I did not say that.

682
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 3: I said that exactly the opposite.

683
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 5: I said, this administration works closely together in all kinds

684
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 5: of different areas, and so the I'm not sure if

685
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 5: they're surprised at the that that the administration is working

686
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 5: together on things like election integrity. But if there is surprise,

687
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 5: let me unequivally state we are working together as an

688
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 5: administration on election integrity type issues. And so that's that's

689
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 5: all I can say about that. All right, one more

690
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 5: good money.

691
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 12: Can you clarify who with the Justice Department is involved

692
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 12: in the pretty investigation?

693
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 4: Is that the Civil Rights Division is that the US

694
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 4: Attorney's Office in Minnesota.

695
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 5: So the I want to be careful about I want

696
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 5: to choose words carefully about involved. Investigations like this are

697
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 5: led by law enforcement, So that's the FBI. There's coordination

698
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 5: with the with the Civil Rights with with Harmy Dillon's group,

699
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 5: and there's trial attorneys there that have this is their

700
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 5: their lives. They've done this for decades, and so to

701
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 5: the extent there's questions during an investigation that require a

702
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 5: trial attorney to weigh in, or if you need a

703
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,959
Speaker 5: civil rights attorney to draft a search warrant or help

704
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 5: with an investigative process. I expect the Civil Rights Division

705
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 5: here at main Justice will be part of that effort.

706
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 5: But don't I don't want to overstate what's happening. There's

707
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 5: I don't want the takeaway to be the there's some

708
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 5: massive civil rights investigation that's that's happening. This is what

709
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 5: I would describe as a standard investigation.

710
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 3: By the FBI.

711
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 5: When when their circumstances like what we saw last Saturday,

712
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 5: and that that investigation to the extent it needs to

713
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 5: involve lawyers at the Civil Rights Division, that will it

714
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 5: will involve those All right, thanks a lot, everybody appreciate

715
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 5: the same tide of investigation.

716
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 19: Do you have comment on the career prosecutors that are

717
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 19: resigning in Minneapolis?

718
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 2: Todd Blanche right there, walking off the stage. The Deputy

719
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 2: Attorney General were interviewing WICO. It's noticeable that Pam Bondi

720
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 2: and Cash Mattel were not there.

721
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 1: So they're going to release.

722
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 2: All everything that he said that meets the standard of

723
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 2: the law that was passed by Congress.

724
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: They sent a letter. They going to send it. I

725
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: guess millions of pages of documents.

726
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure people are going to be asking meians of

727
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 2: questions because they said they've read that acted it for

728
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 2: any of the victims, and they're not putting out a

729
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 2: list of victims says it doesn't exist anyway. I'm sure

730
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 2: this is going to be highly controversial, and you'll see

731
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 2: how that plays out after it's delivered. It sounds like

732
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 2: some time today also breaking news. We followed this pretty closely.

733
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 2: I didn't realize DJ and FBI were doing an investigation

734
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:22,919
Speaker 2: of the ICE officers around the Pretty shooting. John Hanger

735
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 2: for one sec. John, let me ask you you keep

736
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 2: up with the news. Did you know that I got

737
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 2: Jack Besobics going to join us an old Chinahan. Had

738
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 2: you heard that there was an investigation of the shooting

739
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 2: by FBI and DOJ?

740
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 4: I hadn't heard that.

741
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: Actually, no, that was new information.

742
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 4: I think.

743
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 2: He acted Jack Besobics with us. Also, Jack, he handled

744
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 2: that and not kind of like Todd style. I know

745
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 2: you don't, but I don't think he's snippy. I just

746
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 2: think he handles the press pretty well. Did you know

747
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 2: that there was a DOJ and FBI investigation in the

748
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 2: shooting of Pretty and including the it and focused on

749
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 2: the ICE as a civil rights matter.

750
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 15: Well, see if that's something that I think is coming

751
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 15: as news to a lot of people. And look, we

752
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 15: know that the agents were put on leave I believe

753
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 15: was Border Patrol actually not ICE, and so people's that's

754
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 15: one of the big things there because there's sort of

755
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 15: this this jurisdictional turf, you know, kind of almost like

756
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 15: a like a turf scuffle between the two agencies there

757
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 15: on the ground.

758
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: The Border Patrol and the ICE.

759
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 15: But the idea that there's a civil rights investigation that's new,

760
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 15: I think to a lot of people looking at the situation.

761
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 15: Of course, obviously, anytime there's an officer involved shooting, we

762
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 15: know that there's going to be an internal investigation, and that,

763
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 15: as he mentioned, would be under Secretary Nome and the

764
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 15: auspices of the Department of Homeland Security. But if there

765
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 15: is an investigation into Alex Preddi, I certainly hope that

766
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 15: that investigation would include his involvement in these signal groups,

767
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 15: his involvement in these anti ICE ANTIFA organizations such as

768
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 15: ICE Watch. This reporting that Mike Howell has over from

769
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 15: the Oversight project that he may have been one of

770
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 15: these ANTIFA spotters.

771
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 2: So are you you're implying that you think there's enough

772
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 2: evidence out there there ought to be invested. Prettie ought

773
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 2: to be investigated for his role in ATIFA or in

774
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,240
Speaker 2: TIFA affiliated organizations.

775
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 15: Design the same guys showing up everywhere everywhere. Border Patrol

776
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 15: is everywhere, the convoys are everywhere, that ICE is in Minneapolis.

777
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 15: This guy just magically happens to be walking down the street.

778
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 15: Does that really pass the smell test or does it

779
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 15: make more sense that he was involved in these organizations

780
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 15: that were targeting and creating the chaos, creating the disruption, or,

781
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 15: as President Trump said yesterday, an agitator and perhaps an insurrectionist.

782
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 2: Alex pretty yeah, he said, his stock went way down. Also,

783
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 2: before we go back to Yan about the book, I

784
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 2: want you to hang on.

785
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: If you hang on through the break, uh.

786
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 2: The Wall Street Journalist report that the overall investigation of

787
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 2: the stealing of the twenty twenty election, not the criminal part,

788
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 2: the criminal parts being handled by the FBI in DJ,

789
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 2: but that the overall investigation to the stealing of the

790
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 2: twenty twenty election is being handled by Tulci Gabbert. He

791
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 2: implied that I thought he implied that she really wasn't

792
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 2: having much to do with that there was some national

793
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 2: security aspect to it. What is your read from what

794
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 2: Todd answered that question?

795
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 15: Well, so people have to understand that the way the

796
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 15: Department of the d and I works the Director of

797
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,919
Speaker 15: National Intelligence, So the office of the Department or the

798
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 15: Director of National Intelligence is an umbrella, compendium, overarching office,

799
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 15: and the way that it works typically in the past

800
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 15: has been you know, when Clapper was running the place,

801
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 15: and with his buddy Brennan over at CIA, the way

802
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 15: they ran it was pretty much just a rubber stand

803
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,760
Speaker 15: for whatever Barack Obama wanted. But now with Tulsi Gabbert

804
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 15: come in, she's come in and said, wait a minute,

805
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 15: We've got access here and authorities for access to information

806
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 15: from every single one of the national security agencies. That

807
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 15: includes what That includes FBI, that includes DHS, and that

808
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 15: includes SISA, which would be under the auspices of DHS

809
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 15: as well Homeland Security because of the fact that election

810
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 15: infrastructure was deemed a Homeland Security protected piece of infrastructure

811
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 15: for our elections. So any of the reporting that was

812
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 15: done in twenty twenty that came up through those channels,

813
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 15: any of the censorship or perhaps anything else that was

814
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 15: done electronically, shall we say, would fall under SISA. Remember

815
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 15: we were told again and again by the guy with

816
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 15: the long hair with the mullet and the fun socks

817
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 15: back in twenty twenty that it was the most secure

818
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 15: election ever, the most secure election ever. Will guess what

819
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 15: all of that information is now under the authority of

820
00:44:58,640 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 15: Tulsi Gabbert.

821
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 2: Jack, Hang on one second, the White House just notifies

822
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 2: they put the slaves, So we may be going to

823
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 2: the White House with either Caroline Lovett, maybe even the President.

824
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: So just everybody stick around. Jack.

825
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 2: Just one question, the timing of Tulsi Gabbart's involvement in

826
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 2: the degree that she went down there and spent more

827
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 2: time than the really the FBI agents or the senior

828
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 2: FBI guys. Do you think any of that's related to Moduro?

829
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 2: The Maduro being picked up in any information maybe coming

830
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,280
Speaker 2: out of Venezuela has been such a hot button issue

831
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 2: for the MAGA Wright.

832
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 15: Look, Steve, I've heard that, you know, chatter as well

833
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 15: as anyone. I haven't heard that officially from anyone at

834
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 15: the DNI. I will say though, that remember Tulsi Gabbard

835
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 15: set up the dig team over there at that the

836
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 15: the Director's Initiative Group, and their job was to go

837
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 15: into all of these things, the censorship, the election, the

838
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 15: integrity issues, all of these pieces. And she's talked about

839
00:45:56,719 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 15: this at cabinet meetings in the past. So not any

840
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 15: direct ties to Maduro necessarily that she said publicly, but

841
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 15: she has publicly said, and there was that bombshell a

842
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 15: couple of months ago. I was actually at the White

843
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 15: House during that cabinet meeting and had a brief moment

844
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 15: to chat with her afterwards, where she dropped the bombshell

845
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 15: that said, we have uncovered things about the twenty twenty election,

846
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 15: and you didn't really follow up on that.

847
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 3: I think we're now seeing the follow up.

848
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, President Trump's applied to just hang over one second.

849
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 2: We're going to go to the White House moment Tartal,

850
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 2: and I'm sure it's going to get picked up during

851
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 2: the Charlie Kirk Show. They've notified us that they're going

852
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 2: to come out and make some statements.

853
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: John, let me go back.

854
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 2: Peter Schweizer's book is a number one best seller, and

855
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 2: the Warren Posse audience had a lot to do with that.

856
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 2: This is about the Chinese Cammaist Party in the Mexican

857
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 2: government's involvement. The subtitle is how American elites and foreign

858
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 2: powers use immigration as a weapon. You have worked on

859
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,800
Speaker 2: your book for twenty years. Tell me about this, because

860
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 2: now we're coming forward and we are going to drive

861
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,439
Speaker 2: as hard as possible to make sure that this book

862
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 2: is a New York Times number one bestseller. Talk about

863
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,399
Speaker 2: your journey. You've worked on this for twenty years, You've

864
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 2: done amazing interviews Epic Times.

865
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: You're American thought leaders.

866
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 2: But to get down this and take all the research

867
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 2: because this thing is as documented as Peter Schweitzer's talk

868
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 2: to us about the journey. And why is this such

869
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 2: a big component of your life? You over at Epic Times,

870
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 2: you get so much stuff going on. You guys are

871
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 2: the leading voice as a newspaper of the content of

872
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 2: the anti CCP movement. We would hope war Room will

873
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 2: be equivalent to you as a streaming platform. But why

874
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 2: have you turned your entire life over to doing this

875
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 2: and exposing this?

876
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 4: Well, this is a crime yet to be seen on

877
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 4: this planet. You know, to quote David Matis, it was

878
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 4: one of the original researchers to describe this. You know,

879
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 4: this is not your garden variety black market organ industry situation. Okay,

880
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 4: this is a thing. And I started talking about this

881
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 4: yesterday and of course the president that bred as a

882
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,439
Speaker 4: president cut us off. It wasn't a bad way to go.

883
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 13: This.

884
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 4: You need a state actor to do this. You need

885
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 4: to be able to push mass propaganda through a population

886
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 4: and dehumanize a group of people, and you need to

887
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 4: be able to incarcerate a huge number of those people,

888
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 4: maybe a million or something like that. And this is

889
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,720
Speaker 4: what the CCP did to Fellongong practitioners back in nineteen

890
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 4: ninety nine and two thousand, when Jangsamin, the dictator, basically

891
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 4: decided this peaceful movement based on truthfulness, compassion forbearance was

892
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 4: going to get wiped out, to use his words, eradicated, okay,

893
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 4: and they pushed. They they made these people less than

894
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 4: human through the propaganda. They put millions of them in prisons,

895
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 4: in the laborers camps and everything else. And then they

896
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 4: started blood typing, tissue typing, organ scanning them. Okay, they

897
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 4: created a database of their vitals and now someone here

898
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 4: in America or some other country basically could see an

899
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 4: ad and this happened many times and say, well, I

900
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 4: need a new heart. I'm desperate for two hundred grand

901
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 4: I can get it done in two weeks or less.

902
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 4: In communist China, meaning that they knew when someone was

903
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 4: going to die. And the reason they knew that was

904
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 4: that they already had that person pre typed in prison,

905
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 4: ready to go, ready to be killed to order. And

906
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:11,720
Speaker 4: that's why that's the name of the book, the title

907
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 4: of the book, killed to Order.

908
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 2: You're saying that they actually, once they knew what the

909
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 2: demand side was, they could go back and create their

910
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 2: own supply side.

911
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 1: They would actually kill these people.

912
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 2: The book is going to show us systematically, so there's

913
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 2: no doubt that they could actually murder people. The state,

914
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 2: the Chinese Communist Party, the State of China, not the

915
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 2: Chinese people, but the State of China could actually kill

916
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 2: people to order for their organs and to monetize that.

917
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,839
Speaker 4: Well to our best knowledge. And there's a number of

918
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 4: really incredible I basically bring together all of the research

919
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 4: that's been done over the last twenty years, and some

920
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 4: of it is unbelievable. I mean, I'll give you an example,

921
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 4: Steve twenty twenty two, American Journal of Transplantation. There's a

922
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 4: paper title that I kid you not okay, execution by

923
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,760
Speaker 4: organ procurement. They actually published that title in the American

924
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 4: Journal Transplantation. The researchers looked at the Chinese transplant literature.

925
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 4: This is the public Chinese transplant literature that's available, okay

926
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 4: for anyone to look at. They found seventy one instances

927
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 4: of dead donor rule violations, very clear violations of the

928
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 4: dead donor rule in the published public Chinese transplant literature. Basically,

929
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 4: it's such a norm. We're talking sixty to ninety thousand

930
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,399
Speaker 4: transplants a year. This is industrial scale. Okay, it's such

931
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 4: a norm over there. This is how the transplantation is done.

932
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 4: There may be exceptions. I'm not saying the other the

933
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 4: ethical way does never happens, but it's happening at such

934
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 4: a scale that they've kind of forgotten that you can't

935
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 4: do dead donor. You can't do you know what the

936
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,240
Speaker 4: dead donor rule violation means. It means that the person

937
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 4: is being killed by their organs being extracted. And in

938
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 4: the published literature there's at least seventy instances of that,

939
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 4: and that is not, by no means a comprehensive look

940
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:53,760
Speaker 4: at the literature.

941
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 1: It's crazy, Okay. The books, the books Order to kill.

942
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 2: Where they go for your website to push the book,

946
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 4: a big thing here in Washington, DC around that. The

947
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 4: url to go to is killed tooorder dot com. Killedtoorder

948

949
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 4: and I want to encourage you to pre order. Steve,

950
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 4: I really appreciate your endorsement for this. I mean you

951
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 4: even said in that endorsement, you said, you know this

952
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 4: is going to shock you, and this is going to

953
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 4: you're gonna want to go pray after this. Whenever I

954
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 4: think about it, I feel the same. So Ay, thank

955
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 4: you for giving this and this an audience, because for decades, Okay,

956
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 4: I've worked for this, on this for twenty years. For

957
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 4: the longest time, it was just very hard to even

958
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 4: talk about it, because the human mind does not want

959
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 4: to believe that such things are possible, such extreme violations

960
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 4: of human dignity are even possible today. Somehow there was

961
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,399
Speaker 4: a survivor. I talk about all that in the book.

962
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,720
Speaker 4: There's amazingly a survivor. And also I think the COVID

963
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 4: years also showed us some of the depravities that are possible.

964
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 4: I think we're finally, as a collective conscious of society,

965
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 4: ready to face this issue and understand. And this is

966
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 4: the bigger part of the book in a sense that

967
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 4: this is how communist China works, and we have to

968
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 4: understand this and then we'll know how to deal with

969
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 4: them in a more reasonable way the communists I'm talking about.

970
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 1: Give me one minute.

971
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to go to I want to uh yeah,

972
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 2: I'm want to go to Jack about the CCP.

973
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: But give me one minute.

974
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 2: On your summer you gave about this put the power

975
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 2: movement of She in the in the military staff. Because

976
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 2: we're a unique opportunity to get Jack BYSIOAAK and naval

977
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 2: intelligence officer, to comment, what is your thought on this?

978
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 4: Well, look, the bottom line is, you know, there was

979
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 4: a kind of a not a coup, but basically the

980
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 4: military took a lot of control back from She last year.

981
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,720
Speaker 4: Right now, what's happened with this top military general being

982
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 4: deposed okay, being investigated, is basically She having taken back

983
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 4: his power.

984
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: Okay.

985
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 4: The problem is that to do that, he basically destroyed

986
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 4: all semblance of rule structure in the system and he's

987
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 4: actually basically in a way crippled the CCPs, especially the

988
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 4: military's ability to respond right now. So it's also creates

989
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 4: a bit of instability. So we don't know exactly how

990
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 4: this is going to play out, but this is a

991
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:17,800
Speaker 4: once in a decade perhaps when it's in a generation

992
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 4: shift and you know, a lot of chaos going on

993
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 4: there right now.

994
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:25,879
Speaker 2: Jack, your thoughts on this, We haven't had a chance

995
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 2: to cover this, your thoughts on that topic.

996
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 15: Yeah, Look, Steve, you know I'm one of these guys who,

997
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 15: as a China hand I take a bit of a

998
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 15: contrarian position to sort of the Gordon Chang's and some

999
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 15: of the other analysts out there. I'm Long shijin Ping.

1000
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 3: You know, this guy has had.

1001
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 15: A remarkable ability over the last fifteen years or so

1002
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 15: to be able to take out his rivals. He's been

1003
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 15: doing so since he got rid of Boshi Lai and

1004
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 15: the mayor of chong Qing and his wife, by the way,

1005
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 15: who was his main rival for the presidency early on,

1006
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 15: and the chairmanship of the CCP. He's been able to

1007
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 15: do this left and right to all of his rivals,

1008
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,320
Speaker 15: and so you know, look, the Communists are conducting another purge.

1009
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 15: This is exactly what we see in communist systems and

1010
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:14,760
Speaker 15: communist regimes. Doesn't mean there's instability, sure for a period,

1011
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 15: but she has been able and shown this remarkable resiliency

1012
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 15: to be able to weather these storms and bend the

1013
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 15: party to his will like no chairman that we've seen

1014
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 15: since the days of Malzidong himself.

1015
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: A great do you.

1016
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,479
Speaker 2: Is this foreshadow that he's getting his team in place

1017
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 2: and getting rid of the guys that he doesn't think

1018
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:34,760
Speaker 2: to do it for the invasion of Taiwan.

1019
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 1: Give me a minute on that.

1020
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 15: Perhaps, you know, I think that I still think that,

1021
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 15: of course that she's in Ping's policy is, of course

1022
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 15: to absorb Taiwan through osmosis, cut them off from the

1023
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 15: rest of the world culturally, militarily, economically, and then absorb

1024
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 15: them long long frame over time, rather than a direct

1025
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 15: invasion like we saw with Russia and Ukraine or you

1026
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 15: know any of these other you know, the US in Venezuela,

1027
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 15: this type of thing. That being said, if he actually

1028
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 15: felt like he was threatened, then you would see that.

1029
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 2: Jack, you're back up at two. We get the Charlie
