1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: Also media welcome to it could happen here show about

2
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: things falling apart. The thing falling apart this week is

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: me after watching nine hours of Clinton testimony the past

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: two days. It can relate. I'm Garrison Davis. I'm joined

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: by Sophie Lechtervid to discuss guys. Hey, Sophie, Hey.

6
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: To discuss the Clinton testimony.

7
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, I can relate after you know

8
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 3: you fortunately missed that Clinton speech at the DNC in

9
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four.

10
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: Bill Clinton, that was a really really, really really long

11
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: hour of my life.

12
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: That's a long speech for a guy that age too.

13
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we were together during Hillary's speech.

14
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: We did catch that while we're in the pit.

15
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: I think that's when I got COVID. I got the

16
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: Clinton COVID. Hillary got COVID too at the DNC, so

17
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: I think she gave it to me.

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 4: There you go.

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: That's when we were up close and personal with the

20
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: Clintons last. Now they're back.

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: They've never been more back, They've never been more I

22
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: completely agree. If you don't want to hear the voices,

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: I've tried to limit it, but there's gonna be some

24
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: the voices of Hillary and or Bill Clinton. This is

25
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: your chance if you want to hear me talk about

26
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: Hillary being asked about everything from spies to aliens and quanon.

27
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: It's again, this is your sign to continue.

28
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I'm excited. Let's do this.

29
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's get started, because there's probably more more to

30
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: cover than what we'll be able to so. On February

31
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: twenty sixth and twenty seventh, Hillary and Bill Clinton respectively

32
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: testified and closed door hearings about their relationship with Jeffrey

33
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: Epstein and Galaine Maxwell. The Clinton's referst to penay to

34
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: testify in this bipartisan House Oversight Committee investigation into the

35
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: DOJ's handling of the Epstein investigation back in August of

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. For months, they pushed back against having

37
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: to testify, arguing the process was politically motivated, that the

38
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: subpoenas were quote unquote invalid and legally unenforceable, and that

39
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: any relevant information they had could be delivered via assigned statement.

40
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: In January twenty twenty six, Chairman James Comer advanced two

41
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: resolutions recommending the Clintons be held in contempt of Congress

42
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: for refusing to comply days before a vote to hold

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: them in contempt. The Clintons finally agreed to testify in February.

44
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, to be fair, they did let other people give

45
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: little shitty statements.

46
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: They so did. That is something that Hillary specifically brought

47
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: up during her deposition more than once. Yes, So let's

48
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,839
Speaker 1: start with Hillary's because that was the first one.

49
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

50
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: In her opening statement, she said she had no knowledge

51
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: of Jeffrey Epstein's criminal activities, did not ever recall encountering

52
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein whatsoever, never flown on the plane or visited

53
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: his Island homes or offices. Gleayne Maxwell dated a family

54
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: friend around twenty ten he named Ted Waite, who was

55
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: a software developer. Waite brought Glaine to Hillary's Daughters of

56
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: Chelsea's wedding as a plus one guest in twenty ten,

57
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: and Hillary says she was unaware of any criminal activity

58
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: relating to Glene Maxwell, specifically before her crimes republicly revealed

59
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: a few years ago. Hillary was asked to recount the

60
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: origin of the Clintown Foundation, which Hillary only joined the

61
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: board of in twenty thirteen because she was busy serving

62
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: in office. Hillary was asked about Glene Maxwell leading a

63
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: breakout session on ocean conservation at a Clinton Global Initiative

64
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: conference in twenty thirteen. Hillary said that she was not

65
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: involved in the selection process for those sessions, but that

66
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: Glen Maxwell had been an internationally recognized ocean advocate around

67
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: that time. Hillary refused to answer a question about whether

68
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: her husband is a quote unquote smart guy.

69
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: Which was who asked that question?

70
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: I forget, but I had that note written down some

71
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: of these things I was watching pretty pretty late.

72
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, what a great question. Hey, Hill babe, is

73
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: your husband a smart guy? Wow? Glad our tax dollars

74
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: are funding such an important question.

75
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: She said that her husband had a limited relationship with

76
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: Epstein for a limited time. Yes, used his airplane for

77
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: Clinton Foundation trips, and this connection began and ended before

78
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: any of Epstein's crimes were publicly revealed. Representative Pat Fallen

79
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: with the Republican Majority talked about how Jeffy Epstein visited

80
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: the White House seventeen times under the Clint Did administration.

81
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: This is mostly for White House Historical Association events and

82
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: donated money to the White House Historical Association, but said

83
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: that Epstein never visited under Trump or donated money to Trump.

84
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 1: This could in fact, just be simply because the Trump admin.

85
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: You know, Trump came into office after Trump's relationship with

86
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: Epstein fell through and Epstein was convicted of sex crimes. Correct.

87
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: Trump got into office at twenty sixteen. Clinton was in

88
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: office in the early nineties. Yeah, that's why Epstein was

89
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: able to visit the White House for these public events

90
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: as a regular citizen, but did not do so when

91
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: Trump was president.

92
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, prior to Epstein's first conviction.

93
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, two thousand and eight. Yeah. Pat Fown also tried

94
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: to characterize a twenty thousand dollars donation to a joint

95
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: campaign fund in the nineties as a donation to Hillary's

96
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: presidential campaign fund. Many years later, he was called on

97
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: this being obviously incorrect.

98
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: Come on, man, that's so dumb.

99
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: There was a lot of stuff like that, So a

100
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: lot of small errors. Some of them may not have

101
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: been arrows right, some of them may have been ways

102
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: to make the transcript read a certain way if Hillary

103
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: or the lawyers weren't able to catch something. But both

104
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: Hillary and her team, but really mostly Hillary was really

105
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: on it for this entire hearing, like very sharp.

106
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: This was peak Hillary. I feel like a lot of

107
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 2: people you know, for a lot of the like analysis

108
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 2: online I saw, you know, a take over and over

109
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: again that that was like, why wasn't she like this

110
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: when she ran for president? She was?

111
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: This is this is Hillary she was, and it's you know,

112
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: it's impressive, but also a little bit unlikable. For if

113
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: you do that, if you do that like all the time, right.

114
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: If you're like that all the time, it's a little

115
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 2: bit Oh, okay, I'm going to take a step back.

116
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 5: Now.

117
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: That's a lot, but you know, yeah, we'll have we'll

118
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: have more on her sort of like intellectual sharpness later.

119
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 2: I mean, she's fiercely intelligent. Yeah, fiercely intelligent.

120
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: And that is that is that is on display for

121
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: the entirety of this deposition.

122
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: But I really hated the take where people were like,

123
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: if she was like this when she ran for president,

124
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: maybe we wouldn't be dealing with Donald Trump.

125
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 6: Now.

126
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: It's like, no, that's not what happened. No, this is

127
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: who Hillary's been her entire adult life. Thank you.

128
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: Hillary said that she never slicted funds for Jeffrey Epstein,

129
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: ever had funds listed on her behalf, and never invited

130
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: Epstein to any political fundraisers when asked about her own

131
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: speculation on her husband, previous investigators, or the mind state

132
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: of Jeffrey Epstein and Glen Maxwell. She could not answer,

133
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: because that is speculation on other people's opinions or mind states.

134
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: About an hour in Nancy Mace asked Hillary Clinton if

135
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: she believes the Epstein files are quote unquote a vast

136
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: right wing conspiracy.

137
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 5: I think if they are fully released, as the Transparency

138
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 5: Act requires, that would be fulfilling the responsibility of the

139
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,679
Speaker 5: Justice Department. But it appears that there have been many

140
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 5: issues with the full release, so I'm not going to

141
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 5: characterize it other than to say I think that's a

142
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 5: well known fact.

143
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: It is certainly an odd question to ask if the

144
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: files themselves are a vast right wing conspiracy, and Hillary

145
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: here just answered by talking about the issues that have

146
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: come up with the full release of the Epstein files.

147
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: After this, Hillary has asked about whether Jeffrey Epstein was

148
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: one of the most prolific sex traffickers in the world

149
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: and how the State Department worked to counter international sex trafficking.

150
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,239
Speaker 7: Would you say he's one of the world's most prolific

151
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 7: sex traffickers.

152
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 5: I don't know what to compare it. To there are

153
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 5: terrible sex trafficking rings all over the.

154
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 7: World, and you were he said. You were Secretary of

155
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 7: State from two thousand and nine to twenty thirteen, and

156
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 7: you state your agency prioritized combating sex trafficking internationally.

157
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 5: Correct, that's correct.

158
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 7: During your time as Secretary of State, did you or

159
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 7: the State receive any intelligence cables or briefings mentioning Epstein's

160
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 7: foreign travel, pedophile island, or his network of pedophiles and

161
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 7: sex traffick not that I am aware of.

162
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 4: No, how did you miss it?

163
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 7: If he's I believe, one of the most prolific sex

164
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 7: traffickers in the world, you were Secretary of State, how

165
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 7: did you miss it?

166
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 5: Well, that would have been a matter of the Justice Department,

167
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 5: not the State Department.

168
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 7: But in your opening statement and your statements earlier, in

169
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 7: your opening statement, you stated that Secretary of Rubio should

170
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 7: be called to testify. You said that he has and

171
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 7: the administration has quote abandoned survivors using the same logic.

172
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 7: You were Secretary of State during a time period after

173
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 7: Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of being a pedophile and soliciting

174
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 7: children for sex. Why then, did you quote using your

175
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 7: own logic abandoned survivors.

176
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 4: Uh, what is the question?

177
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 8: Please?

178
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 5: I followed her comment. First of all, we focused on

179
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 5: whether there were laws that made sex trafficking, sexual slavery,

180
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 5: domestic violence, other abuses of women on the books in countries.

181
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 5: And then we tried to evaluate were those laws being

182
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 5: implemented and were judges appropriately trained and briefed about how

183
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 5: to implement those laws, were governments taking them seriously? We

184
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 5: looked at the broad institutional approach to these very serious abuses.

185
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: This is an interesting exchange to me. Yeah, so Mace

186
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: here doesn't really understand the role of the Justice Department

187
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 1: versus the State Department. Yes, for the Justice Department investigates

188
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: crimes committed in the United States, versus the State Department

189
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: is this entity that pressures other countries to create or

190
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: you know, improve sex trafficking laws and doesn't really understand

191
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: this difference right, and refers to a part in Hillary's

192
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: opening statement about how Rubio's shrunk specific office to combat

193
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: international sex trafficking, and she isn't quite able to like

194
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: to understand how Hillary is critiquing that, while also saying

195
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: that the Justice Department mishandled the Epstein investigation while she

196
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: was Secretary of State. It's this interesting just break and

197
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: not really understanding how the government works. And this clip

198
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: also shows like how sharp Hillary is being able to

199
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: follow this line of questioning better than her own lawyers

200
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: in some instances be able to actually like respond to

201
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: what Mace is really asking.

202
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 2: Notice that as well.

203
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: Mace then continues to ask about how the US government

204
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: handled Jeffrey Epstein's first criminal case, and this is how

205
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: Clinton responded.

206
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 7: Would you say the US government at that time, during

207
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 7: this time period was appropriate with the way that it

208
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 7: handled Epstein.

209
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 5: I don't think that you could say that was true

210
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 5: about any of the government's prosecutorial efforts, starting with the

211
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 5: Southern District of Florida and alex Acosta and all those

212
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 5: who basically gave him a sweetheart deal. And then I

213
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 5: think going up the chain there was very little attention

214
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 5: paid that should have been paid. But what we had

215
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 5: laws on the books, they were not being implemented. But

216
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 5: that was not within my purview because what we were

217
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 5: looking at is what's the institutional structure and can we

218
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 5: do more to make sure countries take it seriously. Our

219
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 5: country had laws on the books, So this man was

220
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 5: not held to account you, It was not in your

221
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 5: purview when you were Secretary of State. Then why is

222
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 5: it today in Secretary of Rubios? Because what's happened is

223
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 5: that the office that was actually following what was going

224
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 5: on around the world has been decimated. Seventy percent of

225
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 5: the staff is gone. It's impossible to carry out the

226
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 5: functions of that office if you don't have a critical

227
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 5: number of people. So my question would be to Secretary Rubio,

228
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 5: is there more that can be done out of time here?

229
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: Wow? Yeah, Nancy Mace, you suck, You suck.

230
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: Pretty clear articulation there from Secretary Clinton.

231
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I fear that like that, Nancy Mace spent most

232
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: of this time trying to set Hillary up, and I

233
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: don't think she I don't think she succeeded.

234
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: No. Hillary was then asked if she was quote unquote

235
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: concerned when she saw photos of her husband getting a

236
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: back massage or in a pot tub and what went

237
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: through her mind. Hillary refused to speculate on events in

238
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: which she has no context for and was not there.

239
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: We're going to go on a quick ad break now

240
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: and then return to continue the discussion on the Clinton testimony.

241
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: All right, we're back. I want to get a little

242
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: bit into the background of this hearing some more so.

243
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: When the Clintons finally agreed to testify in February, one

244
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: of the things they pushed for was that the testimony

245
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: take the form of public hearings broadcast live. Hillary addressed

246
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: German comra online saying, quote, you love to talk about transparency.

247
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: There's nothing more transparent than a public hearing camera onquote.

248
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: There was a brief back and forth negotiation on what

249
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: the depositions would be open to the public. Ultimately they

250
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 1: were not, but they were recorded on camera and transcribed

251
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: for later release. Part of the terms for this private

252
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: hearing this deposition was that press and photographers were not

253
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: allowed inside the room, and that deposition materials would only

254
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: be released in full through official channels after sensitive information

255
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: like staffer names, president of the deposition and off the

256
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: record exchanges between lawyers were properly removed or redacted. At

257
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: about an hour and twenty minutes into Hillary's deposition, the

258
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: Clinton staff learned that one of the Republican committee members

259
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: leaked a photo of Hillary to right wing influencer Benny

260
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: Johnson Crazy, who posted the picture and wrote quote breaking

261
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: the first image of Hillary Clinton testifying under oath but

262
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein to the Republican Oversight Committee. This is the

263
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: first time Hillary has had to answer real questions about Epstein.

264
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: Clinton does not look happy. Photo provided by Representative Lauren Bobert.

265
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: Honestly, there's actually nobody more unprofessional than Lauren Bobert.

266
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: Will get into her unprofessional conduct later in this hearing

267
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: as well. Great, but here's a clip of the Clinton

268
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: team realizing that a photo has been leaked.

269
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 9: I have another photos that are being released of the

270
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 9: secretary as she is testifying from inside this room. Can

271
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 9: you please advise me as to whether or not that's

272
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 9: permissible and consistent with the rules, particularly given that we

273
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 9: have asked for public hearing. If there are photos that

274
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 9: are being released of the secretary she is testifying, can

275
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 9: you please explain how.

276
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 5: Much I've done with this. If you guys are doing that,

277
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 5: I am done. You can hold me a contempt from

278
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 5: now till the cows come home. This is just typical behavior.

279
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 5: Oh for heaven, I would like.

280
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 9: To understand how that's permissible hearing.

281
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter.

282
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: We all are abiding by the rules.

283
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I would like to take a break at

284
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 5: this movie I'd like to have done for now.

285
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: Fair threw up the record. Pretty shocking stuff.

286
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: There's no defense for that. That's that's wild, and uh

287
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: I would walk out as well.

288
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: When they went back on the record, Chairman Comer discussed

289
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: how he advised all members that no photos of the

290
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: deposition were to be released and that an instant like

291
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: this would not happen again. Lauren Barber later told reporters

292
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: that she took the picture before a testimony actually began

293
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: and that she checked with committee staff about using the photo.

294
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: No follow up on that.

295
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that chance, it's embarrassing.

296
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: After returning from off the record, the minority, the Democrats

297
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: asked about the Justice Department illegally withholding certain files related

298
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: to the investigation from public disclosure. Hillary says that this

299
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: behavior by the Justice Department deserves the most thoroughn destigation

300
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: that Congress could carry out. This will be a longer clap,

301
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: about two minutes, but there's some good information inside.

302
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 5: I think from the very beginning, the behavior of the

303
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 5: Attorney General and her staff has demonstrated either a gross incompetence,

304
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 5: which is bothersome because they are the keepers of information

305
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 5: that should be evaluated for law enforcement purposes or a

306
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 5: clear cover up because they are protecting the president and others.

307
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 5: Either one of those should be the focus of this

308
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 5: committee to try to get to the bottom. If they

309
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 5: are incompetent and they are incapable of complying with the

310
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 5: law that the Congress passed, we need to know that

311
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 5: because they are falling down on the job. They have

312
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 5: an FBI director is more interested in drinking beer in

313
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 5: a hockey dressing room after our team won the Olympics

314
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 5: rather than being responsive and complying with the law as

315
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 5: it has been promulgated. So I don't think it's unfair

316
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 5: to say that given the sequencing of the event, starting

317
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 5: with the way that President Trump made the release of

318
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 5: the files a key element of his twenty twenty four campaign,

319
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 5: the promise that he and then his Attorney General made

320
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 5: that the files would be released, then a walking back

321
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 5: of that as they began to look at the files,

322
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 5: an ignoring of what they had promised, including that they

323
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 5: had a client list on the desk of the Attorney General.

324
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 5: Reasonable people would have to assume they are engaged in

325
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 5: a massive cover up, which is infuriating as an American

326
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 5: as a citizen, all of us should be, regardless of party,

327
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 5: wondering what are they hiding?

328
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,239
Speaker 2: The thing says I watched sports more than calling it

329
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: a hockey dressing room dressing room, I was like Hillary

330
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 2: up with the times.

331
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 10: Uh.

332
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: Hillary goes on to mention how the prosecutor the original

333
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: Epstein case, alex Acosta, was not asked any questions by

334
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: Republicans during his Epstein deposition. About half an hour later,

335
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: Hillary and the Majority go into about a three minute

336
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,479
Speaker 1: exchange thing. This is between Hillary and Nancy Mace about

337
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: Howard Lutnick, Trump's Commerce secretary, who's frequently named in the files,

338
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: whom Hillary knew from being a New York senator during

339
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: the nine to eleven attacks, where Lutnik lost the highest

340
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: of employees out of anyone that day, like over six hundred.

341
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: So Hillary was asked how she knows Lutnik. Hillary tries

342
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: to respond by saying how they met, which was the

343
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: aftermath of nine to eleven. Mace claims that this is

344
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: like a distraction from answering the question and that Hillary's

345
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: trying to garner sympathy. Things get very heated over over

346
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: the course of these like three minutes, as they like

347
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: argue about, you know, if she's actually answering the question.

348
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: Mace talks about being a survivor herself, and now she's

349
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, get the truth out of these hearings.

350
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: Hillary responds by talking about how she's been very sympathetic

351
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: to Mace's situation and respects the work that she's doing

352
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: in the Epstein hearings, but is trying to answer the

353
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: question specifically about Lutnik. It's a pretty loud and contentious

354
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: three minutes. About two minutes after that, Republicans made Hillary

355
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: read emails from the Epstein files.

356
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 5: Thank you for a fun night. Your littlest girl was

357
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 5: a little naughty.

358
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: How does that make you feel?

359
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 5: Makes me sick?

360
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 11: If you can also read the EFTA zers zero eight

361
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 11: seven eight four two one. This is also another email.

362
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 12: Can you just please provide the context.

363
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 11: It's an email to Jeffrey Epstein, if you could just

364
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 11: read the context of what it is.

365
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 5: Of course, the O H Jesus, ohio Jesus, I'm coming trick.

366
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 12: And just the main body of the context of the email.

367
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 5: Said that she felt God's presence next her when she

368
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 5: was in bed. She knows that Jesus watches over her

369
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 5: and he helped save her life.

370
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 8: Whoops.

371
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: How does that make you feel?

372
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 5: It's bizarre. I don't know what it means.

373
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 13: The reason I asked you to read both of these

374
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 13: is because these emails are both sent by co conspirators

375
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 13: that were then given the plea deals and now have

376
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 13: been given victim status.

377
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 4: Both of these.

378
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 11: Women were also named an FBI document, and they're on

379
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 11: a number of other emails.

380
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: What does that have to do with Hillary?

381
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: Yes, that's the exact thing that I wrote down. This

382
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: has no relevance to Clinton at all. This, this doesn't

383
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: relate to her.

384
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 2: They wanted soundbites of her reading weird things.

385
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: It's a humiliation ritual, right, It's yeah, there's no reason

386
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: for them to do this that the majority just go

387
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 1: on to ask Hillary if the DOJ should reevaluate the

388
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: plea deals of these two people, something that Hillary has

389
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: no expertise for. Like, that's what she's here to testify

390
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: on her own knowledge relating to Epstein and Maxwell. This

391
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: is this is a complete non sequitor. This doesn't relate

392
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: to her in any way. It's just grosse. You're just

393
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: you're just getting a woman to read the Epstein files

394
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: for your own entertainment. Yes, it's disgusting. Yes, I have

395
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: a few clips here. This is what three clips about

396
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: her intellectual kind of ruthlessness and the ways that the

397
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: question in this committee, we're trying to get certain asses

398
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,959
Speaker 1: out of her, and she was able to either correct

399
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: them or navigate in an interesting way. I'll start with

400
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: this first one at three and a half hours in gosh,

401
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: you watched a lot.

402
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 6: In twenty fourteen, Epstein met with William Burns, who was

403
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 6: then a senior State Department official and later a CIA director.

404
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 9: Excuse me, could you say what year that was?

405
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 8: Again?

406
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 6: In twenty fourteen.

407
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 9: In twenty fourteen he met with William Burns.

408
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 6: Epstein met with William Burns as as a Secretary of

409
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 6: State at that time.

410
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 4: Were you aware of that meeting?

411
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 5: I wasn't secretary of State in twenty fourteen.

412
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 6: Okay, were you aware of them?

413
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 4: I was Master Burns.

414
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: Okay, embarrassing stuff. Yeah, she was not secretary of state

415
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen. She served from twenty nine to two

416
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: US and thirteen. Asking a question about if she was

417
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: informed of something, well, secretary of State in twenty fourteen,

418
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: she simply was not there. She was not secretary of State.

419
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: The people in this committee should know this. They should

420
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: know when she actually served as Secretary of State. It's

421
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: embarrassing they continued to get like dates wrong throughout this

422
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: hearing that this guy who's asking this question is his representative,

423
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: Eric Berlinson. He also mischaracterized Chelsea's wedding as Hillary's wedding,

424
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: saying that Glen Maxwell attended Hillary's wedding and that Glene

425
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: Maxwell vacationed with Chelsea after the wedding. This event that

426
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: he's referencing, this vacation was actually a year before the wedding,

427
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: and who has a nine Hillary and her lawyers had

428
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: to correct all of that stuff. Specifically, Eric Berlinson did

429
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: not seem to know what he was talking about at

430
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: all in this hearing. Just constantly got little dates and

431
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: facts wrong.

432
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: That gives me pause for a number of reasons. But

433
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 2: it just makes me think about, you know, if they

434
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 2: were actually talking to somebody that they needed to deeply press, yeah,

435
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 2: that they would not get the results needed. It gives

436
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: me a major pause that they have lack of confidence

437
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 2: in this committee to do their job. But it's it's

438
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: just frankly embarrassing that these are elected officials and they

439
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 2: can't even get their dates right.

440
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is an extremely serious matter, and these are

441
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: the people doing oversight.

442
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: This is not a laughing matter.

443
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are totally incompetent.

444
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

445
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: Lauren Barber then asked a very leading question about when

446
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: Hillary learned her husband was spending time with a registered

447
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: sex offender.

448
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 14: Miss Clinton, when did you first learn that your husband

449
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 14: was spending time extensively with a registered sex offender?

450
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 5: He did not after he was convicted, years after Bill stopped.

451
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 14: Having any Were there any activities that raised any red

452
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 14: flags to think that he could be charged of sex

453
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 14: crimes during the time, are you asking?

454
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 5: Clinton has awareness yes, of Jeffrey Epstein.

455
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 14: Of any red flags being brought to your awareness, to

456
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 14: your family's awareness while your husband was spending time with

457
00:25:58,640 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 14: Jeffrey Epstein.

458
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 5: I have no recollection of anyone bringing any red flags

459
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 5: to me.

460
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: They continued to ask about her husband, and she just

461
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 1: had to She just had to keep reiterating it, like

462
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: the committee will have a chance to question her husband tomorrow,

463
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: like they could ask him about his relationship with it

464
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: Epstein tomorrow. There's no use in her speculating about her

465
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: husband's relationship. They can just ask him, literally in less

466
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: than twenty four hours. But they just kept they just

467
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: kept going.

468
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 2: Classic.

469
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 10: You know.

470
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: One of the more bizarre moments they quoted Epstein referring

471
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: to Hillary being prettier in person. And this exchange is

472
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: interesting because of the way it suggests the committee's interpretation

473
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: of certain statements made by Epstein when I think they

474
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: probably infer something to the opposite.

475
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 2: It's bizarre, just like weird misogyny going on.

476
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 14: So regarding the Epstein files, there are many files where

477
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 14: Jeffrey Epstein seems to speak as though he does know

478
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 14: you personally. In one file ft A zero zero six

479
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 14: five seven one one five, mister Epstein is commenting and

480
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 14: he quotes, Hey, Hillary Clinton is much prettier in person.

481
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 14: This was Tuesday, September twentieth, twenty eleven. And then another.

482
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 5: Congresson I'm not going to object to that keeps me.

483
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 4: Commiss can we see the documents because we don't think

484
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 4: that we would get that present.

485
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 7: They don't think the documents not that you're not pretty.

486
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 14: Jeffrey Epstein is also commented that meetings with Hillary are

487
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 14: not easily discreet. Has he ever connected someone to meet

488
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 14: with you, not that I'm aware of.

489
00:27:52,560 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 11: Okay, this is my first time seeing that clip.

490
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 2: That's so funny. First of all, very funny. Second of all,

491
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 2: this is not what this is supposed to be. Why

492
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: are you bringing that up? What does that have to

493
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 2: do with anything?

494
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they're trying to establish some sort of

495
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: relationship between Hillary and Epstein.

496
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 2: Purely, but it doesn't exist.

497
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: And to me, these exchanges just inferred that, you know,

498
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein had seen Hillary in person before, likely at

499
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: these White House Historical Association events where she sees you know,

500
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: hundreds of people who like walk by, right. But then

501
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: Epstein himself like expressed that it's actually difficult to get

502
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: a private meeting with her. So this, this doesn't prove

503
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: that they had any actual, like personal knowledge of each other,

504
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: like mutually. Obviously Epstein knew who she was. She was

505
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: the first Lady of the United States.

506
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely. It's ridiculous.

507
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: About ten minutes later, and this is getting to the

508
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: end of this hearing about, like, you know, four hours in,

509
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: Hillary just kind of goes off a little bit after

510
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: just being asked the same question again and again and again,

511
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: and then also demonstrates like how much she actually knows

512
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: about this committee's investigation.

513
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 4: You have said that you have never been to mister

514
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 4: Epstein's island. Is that correct?

515
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 5: You know what, I am so tired of answering that question.

516
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 5: If you have one sentilla of evidence to the contrary,

517
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 5: put it forward. I have never been on his island period.

518
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 5: I've never been in his homes, his offices, his anything.

519
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 5: So I don't know how many times you have to

520
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 5: say the same thing over and over and over again.

521
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 5: And I just am struggling with the relevance of all

522
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 5: of this. But no, I never have been.

523
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 4: And based off that response, I would include, you've never

524
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 4: been to mister Epstein's Manhattan town home. I have not

525
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 4: his New Mexico ranch.

526
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 13: No.

527
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 4: I have not his Palm Beach residence.

528
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 10: No.

529
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 4: I have not his Paris apartment.

530
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 5: Didn't know he had one.

531
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 4: I haven't been there.

532
00:29:58,680 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 10: You know.

533
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 5: I also find it very interesting because I went back

534
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 5: and looked at the transcripts of all of your other depositions,

535
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 5: and none of the Republicans asked a single question to

536
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 5: any witness about Jeffrey Epstein, or any question that would

537
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 5: help provide answers for his victims.

538
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: Hillary goes on to say that Republican Chairman Comer did

539
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: ask Attorney General bar not about Epstein, but if he

540
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: was aware of clinton involvement in the twenty sixteen Russia

541
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: collusion investigation. Again in a deposition about the DOJ's handling

542
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: of the Epstein files. Completely relevant, completely relevant to the

543
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: matter at hand. And if these people want to pretend

544
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: that they actually take, you know, what happened to these

545
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: victims seriously, then they would have a focused effort on

546
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: the actual subject. All these wild partisan threads. And I'm

547
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: now gonna discuss before before we before we go and

548
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: break again about how this hearing kind of threwout it.

549
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: But I've condensed this down into one section, turned towards

550
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: the weird multiple times in ways that are sometimes you know, relevant,

551
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: but oftentimes not. Earlier in this hearing, Hillary stated that

552
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: she had never been briefed on whether Jeffrey Epstein had

553
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: foreign intelligence ties while serving in office, but that speculation

554
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: that Jeffrey Epstein could have been a foreign intel asset

555
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: is a quote unquote fruitful area of investigation. Although she

556
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: was not made aware of any connection of this sort

557
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: wild Secretary of State, she was also asked about a

558
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: passport belonging to Epstein which bore a different name.

559
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 11: This is actually a passport that was given. The individual's

560
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 11: name is Marcus Robert Fortinelli. Do you think that this

561
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 11: is a sign or a telltale sign of intelligence operations

562
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 11: and pseudonymes.

563
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 5: I can't speculate, I don't, okay.

564
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 11: Victims have stated to this committee, both Democrats and Republicans,

565
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 11: that during Epstein's time, during his daycamp DALs what I'll

566
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 11: call it, that he was also an active communication with

567
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 11: Bush's CIA director. They also had stated that he had

568
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:21,479
Speaker 11: active ties to Russia, Israel, and I Ron. Given your

569
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 11: status not just as the first Lady, but also in

570
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 11: your secretary position, have you ever been targeted by any

571
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 11: of these countries as a means of a foreign intelligence

572
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 11: gathering operation? I you were potential vulnerabilities.

573
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 5: And yeah, I was targeted by Russia in the twenty

574
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 5: sixteen campaign.

575
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 8: I mean I think that's pretty well known.

576
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 9: What about Israel Aribran?

577
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 5: I don't know about either Israel or Iran?

578
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: Okay.

579
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 12: Do you believe that Epstein was running potentially a honeypop

580
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 12: operation with intelligence gathering operations to collect information on how

581
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 12: high profile individuals, both Democrat Republican the United States in

582
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 12: an effort to sway.

583
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 5: Are foreign policy.

584
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 9: Is it possible.

585
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 5: I have no direct knowledge, but I think it's one

586
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 5: of the areas your committee should investigate. Do you think

587
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 5: it's possible, Well, it is certainly possible. It's a tried

588
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,959
Speaker 5: and true technique of certain intelligence agencies.

589
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 12: Do you believe that he was using Honeypott's an effort to.

590
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 5: I can't sarraculate.

591
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 2: I don't know what this is such a weird use

592
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 2: of their time.

593
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: Later, she said that she had no reason to believe

594
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: that personally she was the subject of an intel gathering

595
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: operation relating to Jeffrey Epstein or Glene Maxwell. And then

596
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: right after she was asked if she was ever denied

597
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: access to information about youaps that's an unidentified aerial phenomenon.

598
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: Hilary said that she was never denied access because she

599
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,239
Speaker 1: never asked for access. When questions, she said that she

600
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 1: believes the American public deserves access to such topics subject

601
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: to national security implications. This bizarre off topic line of

602
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: questioning continued nearly an hour later into the hearing.

603
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 6: Going to begin with some lighthearted different questions and You're

604
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 6: welcome to ignore them or if you want to. But

605
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 6: while I have you here, I just have to ask. So,

606
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 6: when your husband was president, it is Lawrence Rockefeller had

607
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 6: an effort to try to disclose UFOs UAPs. When you

608
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 6: were running for president, John Podesta publicly stated that you

609
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 6: would disclose these files with if given the chance, if

610
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 6: you had been president. Are you pleased to see that

611
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 6: these files may be disclosed?

612
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 1: Finally, I am pleased.

613
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 5: As I say, I think they have to be carefully

614
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 5: scrutinized so that no national security information is disclosed. But

615
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 5: this is an issue of real importance to so many people,

616
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 5: and I think whatever can be disclosed should be disclosed.

617
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 6: Was there a program that specifically that that was referencing

618
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 6: that you were aware of. It's not.

619
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 5: As you mentioned. John Podesta, who was one of my advisors,

620
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 5: was deeply interested in the issue, and if I had

621
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 5: been elected, I certainly would have listened to his advice.

622
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 6: Oh, thank you for indulgent on.

623
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: That very odd, completely off topic, no relevance to the

624
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: actual subject of inquiry. A few minutes later, Hillary asked

625
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 1: a clarifying question about why UFOs were brought up.

626
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 4: This is sort of like off subject.

627
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:33,959
Speaker 5: But didn't you all require in the latest Defense authorization

628
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 5: that the UFO information asked about what?

629
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 9: They ripped it out?

630
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 4: They killed it. Oh I thought that it gone through.

631
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 6: That was my amendment and it ripped out.

632
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 5: Oh okay, well you've just I didn't know that, So

633
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 5: thank you for enlightening me.

634
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 9: Okay, Yeah, they've been killing that.

635
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: So if alien disclosure questions weren't bad enough and you know,

636
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: disrespectful to victims of epstein it' sex trafficking, it did

637
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: get worse. Yeah, did, And we will get into the

638
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 1: worse after this at break. All right, we're back at

639
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: nearly the four hour mark into Hillary Clinton's deposition, Lauren

640
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: Bobert started asking about conspiracy theories.

641
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 14: In past public statements, as in twenty seventeen speeches and interviews,

642
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 14: you described pizza gait as a baseless conspiracy theory alleging

643
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 14: you and others ran a child sex trafficking ring from

644
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 14: a Washington pizzeri based pizzeria basement. Have you reviewed any

645
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 14: twenty twenty five twenty twenty six EPSTEIN files that were

646
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 14: released that you believe reference or relate to those specific

647
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 14: twenty sixteen claims regarding the Podesta emails comic ping Pong

648
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 14: pizza used as code.

649
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 10: Possibly. I'm sorry about whether she's reviewed emails that files

650
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 10: related to the wacky Pizzagate excuse.

651
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 14: You could characterize it however you want. I just would

652
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 14: like to know if she's familiar with any of them.

653
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,439
Speaker 9: So your question is about whether or not she has

654
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 9: reviewed any emails in the Epstein release files about Pizzagate. Correct,

655
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,439
Speaker 9: Pizzagate was totally made up.

656
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 5: It was an outrageous allegation that ended up hurting a

657
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 5: number of people, that caused a deranged young man to

658
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 5: show up with his assault rifle and shoot up a

659
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 5: local Pizzeriha. I can't believe you're even referencing it. You

660
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 5: should be there.

661
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 14: There are connections to the language.

662
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 5: Believe there are, so I don't know what believe at.

663
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: It completely unhitched.

664
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 2: But why are we doing this? I have complete lack

665
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 2: of faith in this committee. This is offensive to survivors

666
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 2: of Epstein, and this is getting us no relevant information

667
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 2: to the Epstein probe as they call it. This is ridiculous,

668
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 2: this is infammatory. I mean, I expect nothing less from

669
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 2: Loan and Bobart, but you know, it's just it's insane

670
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 2: and embarrassing.

671
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 1: It's insane, and like there has been a resurgence of

672
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: you know, Pizzagate related conspiracy theories, people talking about Pizzagate

673
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: since the files had been released. Since people can create

674
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: their own patterns, right by selectively honing in on words

675
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: or symbols which allow them to overlook what's right in

676
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: front of their nose. Right, all of the very clear

677
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: connections laid out in the Epstein files, those can be ignored, yes,

678
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: and instead you focused on these like coded messages hidden everywhere,

679
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: hidden in the backgrounds of videos, people carrying pizza boxes

680
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: into the Clinton deposition, all this kind of stuff. It's

681
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: it allows them to miss the very the very clear

682
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: things that are actually outlined into files. It is, you know,

683
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: one of the negative side effects of you know, of

684
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: files like this being released is that it allows a

685
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: lot of points of interest to be honed in on

686
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: by people charting wildly conspiratorial matrices.

687
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 2: I just don't even know how somebody like Lauren Barbert

688
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 2: on a committee like this, or an elected official or

689
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 2: you know, employed Frankly.

690
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: Hilary went on to say, I expected a lot of

691
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: interesting questions today, but Pizzagate was not on the list.

692
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: Lauren Bobart replied, that's okay. We're asking all sorts of

693
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: things here, okay. A few minutes later, Bobert returned with

694
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: even more Pizzagate questions, and things escalated to the point

695
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: where they had to go off the record.

696
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 14: That's lord, are you aware of any files that were

697
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 14: on Anthony Wiener's laptop and a folder that was titled

698
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 14: Insurance Life Insurance with a ZIP file titled.

699
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 10: Chairman.

700
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 9: Is this within the scope? Mister chairman?

701
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 14: Chairman rules that it's not with mister.

702
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 9: Based on what you said in the public hearing, is

703
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 9: this within the scope?

704
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 4: For a moment, mister chairman?

705
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 9: Is this within the scope?

706
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 8: Record?

707
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: So you couldn't quite make out what Bobart was referencing there.

708
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: She was talking about the Frazzle Drip conspiracy theory that

709
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: alleged Anthony Wiener possessed a video of Hillary Clinton conducting

710
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: a satanic ritual murder of a child, cutting off this

711
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: child's face to wears a mask to fill the child's

712
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 1: blood with adrenochrome to be harvested. This is like a

713
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen conspiracy theory, one of one of the more

714
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: like like graphic and gross aspects of QAnon, And here

715
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: Bobert is just openly asking Hillary Clinton about Frazle drip

716
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: by name, completely inappropriate, has no bearing on the investigation.

717
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 1: It's an insult to actual victim of child sex trafficking.

718
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: So this whole conspiratorial angle of the Hillary Clinton deposition

719
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: made up a significant chunk. Another chunk that made up

720
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: a significant portion of time is just Clinton kind of

721
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: advising and the committee members both on the Republican and

722
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: Democrat side, like asking for her advice on how to

723
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: conduct their own investigation. She advised that they should follow

724
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: Senator Widens compiled Treasury data on Epstein's financial transactions, and

725
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: that data should be subpoened from the Treasury Department. She

726
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: was asked about how they could determine if Jeffrey Epstein

727
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: was a spy. Hillary advised them to send document requests

728
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: to subpoena the CIA, the Department of National Intelligence counterintelligence

729
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: departments in the DOJ, saying to quote unquote cast a

730
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: wide net. She suggested cooperating with UK investigations and to

731
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: former Prince Andrew and trying to see if Israel will

732
00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: cooperate in sharing information regarding the investigation. Finally, Hillary suggested

733
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 1: to Chairman James Coohmer that he should advise on how

734
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: laws could be changed to prevent future abuse based on

735
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: the committee's knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's manipulation techniques and mode

736
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: of operation. But there was like significant chunk of at

737
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: least like, you know, thirty minutes where she was essentially

738
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: being asked or advising the committee on how to do

739
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: their own job, just due to the sheering competence that

740
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,479
Speaker 1: has been displayed in the clips that I've selected here.

741
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 2: Well, I don't really have anything else to say besides

742
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 2: that it's just like.

743
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: Pathotic, yeah, I mean, and most of the interesting stuff

744
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: is in the Hillary Hillary Clinton won.

745
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 10: Yeah.

746
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: Bill was deposed the next day. But for some of

747
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: the like logistics regarding this hearing, a source told The

748
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: New York Post, so take that as you will. Sure

749
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 1: that the Clinton team demanded specific quote unquote beauty lighting

750
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: and camera positions relatable life hear to get the most

751
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: flattering angle of Hillary's face, and brought white tablecloths to

752
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: bounce the overhead lighting onto the bottom of her face

753
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: to mind of my shadows.

754
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

755
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: Pictures of the whole room also showed that the Clinton

756
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: team was the only ones with these like nice orange

757
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: upholstered chairs. The rest of the chairs were just like

758
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: regular black folding chairs. The New York Post contains this

759
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: little tidbit that the customized blue paneled backdrop was developed

760
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: by a local specialized vendor within about seven hours after

761
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: Clinton's team concluded it did not like the vibe of

762
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: the original black curtains in the background unquote. So they

763
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: like went in saw this, you know, white table with

764
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: black curtains. They thought it looked too much like a

765
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: criminal interrogation or or like a quote unquote hostage situation

766
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: is what's quoted in the Post article, as opposed to

767
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: like an official congressional deposition, you know, like an official

768
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: government venue. So they got like a local carpenter to

769
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: make this blue paneled backdrop in like a few hours

770
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: to put behind Hillary. And that's just an interesting insight

771
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: into like the thought process of the Clinton team regarding

772
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: the optics of this hearing shop local. So let's briefly

773
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: go through some of the sections on bill. Bill started

774
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: by saying that they should not have questioned Hillary, quote,

775
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: but I do think you should be talking to me.

776
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 1: You should have called me, I did take those plain

777
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: trips with him. You have a right to ask those questions. Unquote,

778
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 1: He said that quote, I'll be honest with you, I'll

779
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: be eighty eight years old if I lived my next birthday.

780
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 1: I don't remember everything that happened twenty four years ago,

781
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 1: but I do remember some things, and I'll tell you

782
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: what I remember the best that I can. On quote.

783
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 1: When asked when he first met Jeffrey Epstein, Bill referred

784
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: to a photo of him shaking Epstein's hand in nineteen

785
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: ninety three at a White House Historical Association event. But

786
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: Bill said that he doesn't remember that, but this photo

787
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: does exist. He shook a lot of people's hands. Does

788
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: not remember everyone he meets. He first remembers meeting Jeffrey

789
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 1: Epstein for a Clinton Foundation plane trip in two thousand

790
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: and two. He said he was connected with Epstein through

791
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 1: someone named Larry Summers, who told Bill that Jeffrey Epstein

792
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 1: made a large donation about ten million dollars to brain

793
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: research and was a quote unquote, information hungry person. Summers

794
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: said that Epstein wanted to talk with Bill about economics

795
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: and politics and offered to take Bill his staff and

796
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: his secret service detail on Clinton Foundation trips for global

797
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: humanitarian aid, so Bill saw this as a way to

798
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 1: drive the price down for these trips. He took the

799
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 1: last one of these flights in two thousand and three.

800
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: When asked why this relationship ended, Bill said that the

801
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: AIDS program, it was a humanitarian aid program to help

802
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,919
Speaker 1: with AIDS, but that this AIDS program, you know, took

803
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 1: off and more people that Bill knew better offered to help,

804
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey did not seem as interested in the AIDS program,

805
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 1: so they kind of just naturally drifted apart. Bill characterized

806
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 1: the relationship as friendly, but didn't know him well enough

807
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,879
Speaker 1: to be considered a friend, and so that he never

808
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: talked about witness or participated in anything sexual. Relating to

809
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein and young women and girls, Bill said he

810
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: learned of Epstein's crimes in two thousand and eight. Bill

811
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: said he had no indication Epstein was trafficking women. Quote

812
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: There's nothing that I saw when I was around him

813
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: that made me realize he was trafficking women. Quote. Bill

814
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: was asked about if he communicated with a long list

815
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: of people regarding Epstein. This was kind of a weirdly

816
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: framed question. It was have you communicated with any of

817
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: these people about Jeffrey Epstein. Bill had a hard time

818
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: kind of understanding the nature of this question. It is

819
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: kind of oddly phrased. Hillary was asked the same one.

820
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: They just read a list of names. Bill recounted if

821
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: he knew the person or not, and lawyers had to specify, like, oh, no,

822
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 1: they're asking if you communicated with them about Epstein, not

823
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 1: if you knew them. So it kind of got some

824
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: confusing responses. Interestingly, both Hillary and Bill laughed at the

825
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 1: mention of Noam Chomsky. Bill said that he never communicated

826
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: with Chomsky and that Chomsky quote wasn't a big fan

827
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: of mine. He thought I was too conservative.

828
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 2: Fuck off, nome, fuck off, no crazy.

829
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: Bill did testify that he thought that someone relating to

830
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: law enforcement would ask him about Epstein in two thousand

831
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: and eight when the news about Epstein's crimes came out,

832
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: considering that Epstein let Bill use the plane, but no

833
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: one ever did m He said he never suspected Intel

834
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 1: agency connections with Epstein and was at the time unaware

835
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 1: of Epstein's visits to the White House while Bill was president,

836
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: and it has only since been informed of this in

837
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: preparation for this testimony, Okay, Bill was asked about a

838
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: New York Times article claiming to expound on Bill and

839
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: Epstein's relationship in the nineties, characterized as chummy, which Bill denies.

840
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: He said that he didn't even know Epstein really during

841
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: this time, even though they may have been at the

842
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 1: same events. He was asked about but being asked to

843
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 1: write a personal note to Jeffrey Epstein's mother. Bill said

844
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: that he never met Jeffrey Epstein's mother and that he

845
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:08,959
Speaker 1: wrote a lot of notes to a lot of people

846
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,399
Speaker 1: that he did not know. He was unsure of who

847
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: asked him to write this note. He was also asked

848
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 1: about this passport appearing to belong to Epstein bearing a

849
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: different name, with the questioner asserting that they believe Jeffrey

850
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 1: Epstein was an intelligence operative running a honeypot against the president.

851
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: When later asked if he believes that he was targeted,

852
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,439
Speaker 1: Bill says that it's possible. The lawyers objected this based

853
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: on speculation, but Bill says he doesn't know if he

854
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: was targeted but would be surprised. Refers to Jeffrey Epstein

855
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: as a quote unquote vacuum cleaner of information but was

856
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:49,959
Speaker 1: not overtly manipulative. Early on, saying that Epstein mostly asked

857
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: about derivatives trading and stock market regulation. Bill was asked

858
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: if he ever had contact with someone named Shante Davies,

859
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 1: who was a quote unquote flight attendant on Epstein's plane.

860
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:05,439
Speaker 1: Bill confirms that he did, and confirmed that a neck

861
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: rub took place once with Chante Davies, but denied he

862
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: ever went to the island.

863
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 2: I don't know something about neck rub and Bill Clinton

864
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 2: just makes me stomach hurt.

865
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

866
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 1: He later says that he was unaware of the abuse

867
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: happening to Chante Davies and says that he quote wish

868
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: Schante had told me I liked her, but said that

869
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: he did not think there was anything unusual. He said

870
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: that massages on rich people's planes and boats weren't uncommon.

871
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: Was never aware of anyone under the age of eighteen

872
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: all these flights, and if there were, that would have

873
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 1: made him uncomfortable. He specified that Secret Service was with

874
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: him for every single trip. He quote never signed off

875
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 1: Secret Service protection. He talked about specifically this neck rub incident,

876
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: saying that he had a sore neck during one of

877
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:57,280
Speaker 1: the legs of these Clinton Foundation Aid trips and received

878
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: a massage this one time. That's what he claimed. He

879
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: was asked about the note in Jeffrey Epstein's fiftieth birthday book,

880
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 1: Bill said that his own staff asked him to write

881
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: a letter for the book, specifying that he sends out

882
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,720
Speaker 1: hundreds of birthday letters every year to friends or people

883
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 1: he's only met a few times. A regular occurrence, he's

884
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: asked to read a section of the letter that people

885
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: had a hard time transcribing exactly, which makes a reference

886
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 1: to Epstein having made errors in his life, and he

887
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: was asked whether this errors referred to sex crimes. Bill said, no,

888
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: in the life of someone fifty years old, they're going

889
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 1: to make mistakes. It was a throwaway line in one

890
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: section of this very short letter. I don't think it's

891
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 1: super relevant. Now. Around this time when they're reading from

892
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: this letter is where there's this viral clip of Bill

893
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: pulling back a copy of a photo from his lawyers

894
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 1: like while smiling. This is circulated a lot. It looks

895
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: like he's no recounting like good memories or something. The

896
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: piece paper he's pulling back is actually just a copy

897
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: of a new York Times article. It's not a picture

898
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,240
Speaker 1: of him and Epstein. It's not a picture of memories.

899
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: There may be a small photo framed in the picture

900
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: included in this New York Times article. It's being passed around,

901
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 1: but it's not like he's like flipping through like a

902
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: year book of like a good moments with friends and like,

903
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 1: you know, happily recounting. I think this, this little clip's

904
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: been decontextualized.

905
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 2: I agree.

906
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 1: I'm not not trying to defend Bill Clinton here.

907
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 2: No, but I'm adding context for what's.

908
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 1: Actually happening in this hearing. And his lawyers are passing

909
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 1: around a copy of a New York Times article which

910
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: he's being questioned about, and that's the context for that clip.

911
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 2: And like, this clip went pretty viral, and so I

912
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 2: was talking about it actually with my mom My. Mom

913
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 2: My mom's first reaction held some weight with me. She

914
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 2: was like, that's just Bill Clinton's face.

915
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: He's kind of this happy, goofy guy.

916
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 2: Like he's generally like a smiley guy. And you know,

917
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 2: I think that makes sense contextually. Here again, not defending

918
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 2: Bill Clinton, but yeah.

919
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: I do want to play one clip about Trump. Bill

920
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: was asked if the committee should talk to Donald Trump

921
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,919
Speaker 1: since his name appears more frequently in the thousand almost

922
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: any other person. Bill says, that's up to the committee

923
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: and mentions an instance where he talked with Trump about

924
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 1: Epstein on a golf course for a charity tournament around

925
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: to US in two to TWISM three, and they talked

926
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,280
Speaker 1: about Epstein because Trump somehow knew that Bill had flown

927
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 1: on the plane. But besides this incident, he had no

928
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 1: other conversations with Trump about Epstein or Maxwell.

929
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 8: The day I was there, he would typically.

930
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 10: Donald Trump would come out and play a few holes

931
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 10: with us, and he somehow knew I had flown in

932
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 10: Jeffrey Epstein's aircraft. And he said, you know, we have

933
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 10: some great times together over the years, but we fell

934
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 10: out all because of a real estate deal.

935
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,720
Speaker 8: And he said, I'm sorry it that's all.

936
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,800
Speaker 15: Do you recall whether President Trump was the first one

937
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 15: to affirmatively bring up the subject of Jeffrey Epstein.

938
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 8: No, but I'd be shocked if I did. I just

939
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:25,439
Speaker 8: don't do that, you know.

940
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 15: Do you recall whether President Trump elaborated at all on

941
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 15: the great times that he had with Jeffrey Epstein.

942
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 10: No, And I took at the time I took. No,

943
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 10: I didn't put any you know, sexual stint on it.

944
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 15: And as far as you recall, President Trump characterized the

945
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:50,240
Speaker 15: nature of the ending of their friendship as being solely

946
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 15: due to the real estate he said.

947
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: Interestingly, here Bill recounts that Trump's reason for breaking with

948
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: Epstein was due to a real estate deal, not the

949
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 1: poaching of employees at mar A Lago, as alternatively reported.

950
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 1: Right the minority, the Democrats referred to statements from three

951
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,959
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein victims in statements, including Bill, in some way.

952
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: Starting with someone named Maria Farmer, an Epstein employee who

953
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,720
Speaker 1: first reported abuse to the NYPDNFBI in nineteen ninety six,

954
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 1: She claimed that she acknowledge that Bill visited Epstein's house

955
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:31,760
Speaker 1: multiple times. Bill denies this. Someone named Virginia Roberts Druffey

956
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:37,240
Speaker 1: remarked that she had knowledge that Bill was at Epstein's island.

957
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 1: Bill responded by saying that ultimately his person quote unquote

958
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 1: reached a different conclusion and denied declaimed that he flew

959
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,320
Speaker 1: in a helicopter with Glenn Maxwell to the island. The

960
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: committee member reference a diary entry as the piece of

961
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: information asserting that Bill was on the island. Bill's lawyers

962
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: asked about the dates for this entry so that they

963
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: could determine whether Bill was in a different part of

964
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: the world around this time. But this gets moved on

965
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,439
Speaker 1: pretty quick. They briefly bring up this picture of Bill

966
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: in a hot tub in Brunei. He says that he

967
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,399
Speaker 1: was staying at a hotel during one of these AIDS

968
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: trips and briefly went to a hot tub. Other people

969
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: were present from this trip secret Service. That's about a

970
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: bizarre painting of Bill Clinton wearing Monica Lewinsky's blue dress

971
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: found in Jeffrey Epstein's apartment. Bill said he'd never seen

972
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: it before. Was asked to speculate why this painting was made.

973
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 1: Lawyers said that the committee can ask the artist. Lauren

974
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: Barber goes on a very poor line of questioning regarding

975
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 1: a conversation transcript between two people, and this line of

976
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 1: questioning requires deposition to go off the record to figure

977
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,280
Speaker 1: out what exactly she's talking about.

978
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 10: Bill.

979
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: Event she responds to a question stating that he never

980
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: felt that he owed Jeffrey Epstein any favors and never

981
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: participated in any quote unquote to island orgies since he

982
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,720
Speaker 1: never traveled to the US Virgin Islands with Jeffrey Epstein

983
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: about two hours in. Bill Clinton has asked if he

984
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: thinks Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, something they never asked. Hillary.

985
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 8: I would just like to ask.

986
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 14: You, personally and directly, do you believe that Jeffrey Epstein

987
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 14: killed himself?

988
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,439
Speaker 9: Are you asking him to speculate on how mister Epstein died?

989
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 14: I am asking what Miss the President thinks when you're

990
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 14: asking his opinion, Mister President, was your was your friend Jeffrey.

991
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 9: Epstein's cessifying him as a friend who he has testified.

992
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,280
Speaker 14: That he's a friend in a letter.

993
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 9: He said he was friendly, but not you've asked for

994
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:34,280
Speaker 9: his test President.

995
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 14: Do you believe that Jeffrey Epstein was suicidal?

996
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 10: Do you know?

997
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 14: Was he ever suicidal?

998
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 8: I don't know.

999
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 10: I don't know what the medical founding was. I think

1000
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 10: maybe he finally got caught.

1001
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 8: I don't know. I've accepted it my own mom. I

1002
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:56,760
Speaker 8: don't know what happened, Miss President.

1003
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 14: What did you accept that he killed himself or.

1004
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 8: That he did not that he did? But I don't know.

1005
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 14: Yes, sir, and none of us know, Miss President has

1006
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:06,959
Speaker 14: been an honor.

1007
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 5: Thank you, Thank you.

1008
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 2: Why would you ask him that that makes no sense?

1009
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 1: I mean again, this is Lauren Bobber, the same person

1010
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: asking about pizza Gate. He's she's trying to donkey in

1011
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,959
Speaker 1: as many of these conspiracy theory questions as she can,

1012
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 1: because that's that's like who she is, right, she has

1013
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 1: she is a conspiracy theorist herself. She may not characterist

1014
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: it that way, but she's trying to, you know, go

1015
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: go off a checklist of like epic owns against the

1016
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 1: Evil Child eating Clinton's a few other few other small

1017
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: notes that I think are interesting. Bill was asked about

1018
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: emails being sent to Glene Maxwell by one of his assistants,

1019
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: and Bill says that he never sent these emails and

1020
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: he's only ever sent two emails in his life, which

1021
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,919
Speaker 1: I do believe I can too.

1022
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 3: It's so crazy, Oh, Bill Well.

1023
00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: Bill's asked about a statement that Epstein made saying that

1024
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: Bill quote unquote likes them young. Bill Lawyer's asked, you know,

1025
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: if Bill's be asked to speculate on Jeffrey Epstein's mind.

1026
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: Bill says that this isn't true, that he quote unquote

1027
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: likes them young and never went to the island again.

1028
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 1: Mace later asks if it's unusual for a quote unquote

1029
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 1: sitting president to receive a massage. Bill Sawyers had to

1030
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: argue back and forth because Bill was not a sitting

1031
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 1: president during the time where this neck massage incident occurred.

1032
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 1: Bill's once again asked if he was the target of

1033
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 1: an intel operation, he says, I doubt it. There was

1034
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: then an extended argument between Mace and Lawyer's reference to

1035
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 1: Daily Beast reporting on a statement Bill made after Jeffrey

1036
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 1: Epstein's to his a nineteen arrest, mischaracterizing two instances where

1037
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: Jeffy Epstein visited the Clinton office and Bill once visited

1038
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: Jeffy Epstein's New York compartment, which he later remarked Jeffrey

1039
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 1: Epstein was not even present for, and Nancy Mays kept

1040
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 1: asking if Bill lied about only meeting Jeffrey Epstein at

1041
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 1: these two times based on the phrasing of the Daily

1042
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 1: Beast article, but the full statement that the Daily Beast

1043
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: was quoting from also lists the four plane trips, which

1044
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: contained a total of seventeen stops. The Beast article just

1045
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 1: mischaracterized this as only being two incidents, and Mace was

1046
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: referring to the article, not the actual original statement. This

1047
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: resulted in a pretty extensive argument. This leads us to

1048
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 1: the final clip that I'll play, which I think is

1049
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 1: kind of the only interesting question across the nine hours

1050
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 1: of testimony, the only question I think is actually kind

1051
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 1: of interesting and worthwhile, and it's not actually followed up

1052
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: on in any substantial way. Nancy Maaska asks why the

1053
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 1: Clintons still associated with Glade Maxwell after Jeffrey Epstein's first conviction,

1054
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 1: knowing that Maxwell was one of Epstein's closest associates.

1055
00:59:52,240 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 10: First of all, when the wedding occurred, she was with

1056
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 10: Ted White, and she was for several more years. We

1057
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 10: did not know when Sane was arrested that she was

1058
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 10: still involved with him.

1059
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 8: I think that clears a lot of this up.

1060
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 10: We didn't know, and I don't want all of me

1061
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 10: to get We're all getting an allowed.

1062
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:37,760
Speaker 8: There's a logical extromation. We didn't know, and I'm sorry

1063
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 8: for what she did and what she allowed her life

1064
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 8: to become and now she's living with it.

1065
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 1: They do not follow up on this at all. The

1066
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: fact that the Clinton's, knowing that Maxwell was like Epstein's

1067
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 1: number two guys, spent a decent amount of time with

1068
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: on these four plane trips and to US and two

1069
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 1: to two US and three on these humanitarian aid Clinton

1070
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 1: Foundation trips. You know, a lot of time I'm with

1071
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 1: Glaine and Epstein. The committee did not follow up on

1072
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 1: why they continued to associate even loosely, like very loosely

1073
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 1: with Glaine after the Twestaate conviction. Yeah, that's a pretty

1074
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,919
Speaker 1: reasonable question to have, and it just doesn't even get

1075
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 1: focused on very much. Instead, they started talking about this

1076
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 1: report from an Epstein victim about Bill Clinton allegedly walking

1077
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 1: into the offices of Vanity Fair and threatening them to

1078
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 1: not write sex trafficking articles about Jeffrey Epstein, something that

1079
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: Bill obviously denies, and there would be other witnesses for

1080
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: this event. But like this, this question about the Clinton's

1081
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 1: extended relationship with Glaine Maxwell after the first conviction is

1082
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 1: one of the very last questions asked. It takes them

1083
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 1: nine hours to get there. Yeah, they don't even follow

1084
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:48,479
Speaker 1: up on it, and it just kind of ends very

1085
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 1: very flaccid.

1086
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:53,919
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to the survivors, Like, you're not getting any

1087
01:01:54,000 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 2: kind of justice. This committee is incompetent, embarrassing, and pugnant.

1088
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:03,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that kind of sums up the hearing, all

1089
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 1: of the hearings they were inconfident, embarrassing and repugnant, really

1090
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: spending more time on weird conspiracy theories than asking like new.

1091
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 2: Questions on Pizzagate.

1092
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, because like they asked Hillary and Bill basically the

1093
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 1: same two questions over and over again, the same answers,

1094
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 1: wasting hours and hours of time. The only new questions

1095
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 1: they asked are these insane conspiracy ones. It's it's embarrassing,

1096
