Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia will be upping its investment commitment in the

00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,319

00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: hundred billion that it was pledged in May. Trump received

00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,280

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: I believe, mister President, today and tomorrow we're going to

00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: announce that we are going to increase the six hundred

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: billion to almost one trillion of investment, real investment and

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: real opportunity by details in many areas and the agreement

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 2: that we are signing today in many areas of technology,

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence, and materials, magnets, etc. Will create a lot

21
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 2: of domestic opportunities. He went on to add Trump, who

22
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: moments earlier said he would like to see the Saudi

23
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: investment rise to one trillion and joked he would need

24
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: to work on the crown prints. But first, I want

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 2: to tell you about our friends over Patriot Mobile. Every

26
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: so often, something happens that reminds us just how fragile

27
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: our freedoms are. We can't afford to take our rights

28
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: for granted. We must draw a line in the sand,

29
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: and our friends at Patriot Mobile have been doing just

30
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: that for more than twelve years. The truth is there

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,560

00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: for Americans who believe freedom is worth fighting for, and

33
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: that company is Patriot Mobile. Not only are they leading

34
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,480

00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: introduced the Crown Prince to the media inside the Oval Office.

59
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 3: Extremely respected man in the Oval Office today and a

60
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 3: friend of mine for a long time, very good.

61
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 4: Friend of mine. I'm very proud of the jobs nun.

62
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 4: What he said is incredible in terms of human rights.

63
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: And everything else, and he's the crown Prince, the future King,

64
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 3: and I just want to pay my greatest respect to

65
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 3: your father King, who was an amazing man.

66
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 4: I met him early on. I freed him at the

67
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 4: airport at an age.

68
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: It was pretty high up there, and it was about

69
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 3: one hundred and seventeen degrees as he was standing in

70
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: the gray carpet as I came out of the plane.

71
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 4: And he's amazing.

72
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: And when I met his brilliant son who was at

73
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 3: the oval office, and shortly thereafter you came in represented

74
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: the country, and I called the father.

75
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 4: I said, this guy is fantastic. And I don't know

76
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 4: if that helped you or hurt you, but obviously it

77
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 4: couldn't have hurt too.

78
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 3: Much because here you are right for we had a

79
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: great mating and the office has changed quite a bit,

80
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: and we inherited a mess. You actually told me you

81
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: thought the country was in big trouble. I'm not going

82
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 3: to use the exact word that you use. I refuse to.

83
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 4: Say that you thought our country was dead a year and.

84
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 3: A half two years ago, but a country was in trouble,

85
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: and now we have the hottest country in the world.

86
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 4: You said that also, and we do.

87
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 3: We have. The United States is right now the hottest

88
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: country in the world. And between the tariffs and the

89
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 3: election November fifth election, we've done things that nobody can believe.

90
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 3: Twenty one trillion dollars will be the amount invested in

91
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: the United States or committed to invest in one year.

92
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 3: So I mere nine months, we're up to almost eighteen

93
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 3: trillion dollars. Biden as an example, the Biden administration, if

94
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 3: you call it that, it's to me it was the

95
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: Biden lack of administration.

96
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 4: They were less than one trillion for four years. We're

97
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 4: going to be twenty one trillion for one year. I

98
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,119
Speaker 4: think that's hard to believe.

99
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 3: The biggest in history was a certain country three trillion.

100
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 3: We're going to be twenty one trillion. On top of that,

101
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 3: prices are coming down. We inherited a mess with high prices,

102
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 3: the worst.

103
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 4: Inflation in the history of our country.

104
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: We had inflation that was a single four years, the

105
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: worst inflation in the history of the United States. Gas

106
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 3: prices through the route. And that's after destroying our petroleum reserve,

107
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 3: which was meant for wars and big emergencies, not to

108
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 3: try and when at election, they opened up the reserves

109
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: so that people get dollars three dollars less in gasoline,

110
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: and it didn't work.

111
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 4: They got about three cents.

112
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 3: Less because as big as those reserves are the peanuts

113
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: when you're talking about that kind of traffic, and we're

114
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 3: rebuilding the reserves, we're doing all of this, and we've

115
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: done a job. We're also bringing down prices very substantially,

116
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 3: and we've already brought them down very very substantially.

117
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 4: Gasoline is way down.

118
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 3: I think you'll be seeing two dollars gasoline, but we're

119
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 3: now at two fifty to forty five.

120
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 4: Some are lower than that.

121
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 3: It was four fifty five dollars, six dollars, three fifty

122
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 3: three seventy five under by no different.

123
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 4: Numbers, but way high. And we have energy way down.

124
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: But the biggest thing to me, because I know what

125
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 3: it means in jobs, is the fact that we're at

126
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: over seventeen trillion dollars scott and we expect to be

127
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 3: around twenty twenty one trillion dollars in one year, and

128
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: that's many times bigger than history. The highest number was

129
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: three trillion dollars and we're going to be a twenty

130
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: one trillion. That means new plants, new AI, new auto plants.

131
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: We have auto plants coming in from Canada and from Mexico,

132
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 3: from Germany, from Japan. Toyota just agreed to invest ten

133
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 3: billion dollars on new auto plants, all American workers.

134
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: We've never been in a position like this. You can

135
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 4: go back to the beginning.

136
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: Our country has never been in a position like this,

137
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: and it really is because of the fact that we

138
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 3: use tariffs to bring all this money in. And you're

139
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 3: going to see the results in a year when these

140
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: plants start to open up. We have more plants under

141
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 3: construction now than at any time in the history of

142
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 3: our country. And these are big plants. These are the

143
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 3: biggest plants anywhere in the world. And I want to

144
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 3: thank you because you've agreed to invest six hundred billion

145
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: dollars into the United States and.

146
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 4: Because my friends, he might make it a trillion, but

147
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 4: I'm going to have to work on him. But it's

148
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 4: hundred We can count on six hundred million, but that

149
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 4: number could go up a little bit higher.

150
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, I don't know, we'll see, but we appreciate

151
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 3: it very much.

152
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 4: So SODIA is going to be investing.

153
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: At least six hundred million dollars, and that means investments

154
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 3: in plans, in companies, money on Wall Street, and what

155
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: it really means for everybody that really counts as jobs,

156
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 3: a lot of jobs.

157
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 4: We have a lot of jobs. So I just want

158
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 4: to thank you. We've been really good friends for a

159
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 4: long period of time.

160
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: We've always been on the same side of every issue.

161
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 3: I think we've done a great job in wiping out

162
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: the nuclear capacity of Iran. Nobody else could have done that,

163
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 3: No other president would have done it.

164
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 4: And we had the pilots in the Oval office right here.

165
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 4: We were celebrating a very successful attack.

166
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 3: So I had them in with that beautiful be too

167
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 3: bomber that's over there, and they said, Sir, for twenty

168
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 3: two years we practiced this attack predecessors.

169
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 4: These were very young guys.

170
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 3: So twenty two years they sent our predecessors and us

171
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: practice the attack on ran But no president ever gave

172
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 3: us the go ahead. Three times a year they went

173
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 3: up and they practiced the attack. Nobody let us do

174
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 3: it until you came along. And I let them do

175
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 3: it because it was the right thing to do. You

176
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 3: can't have a nuclear rn and so we put you

177
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 3: in a very good position.

178
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 4: But I just want to say it's.

179
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 3: An honor to be your friend, and it's an honor

180
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 3: that you're here, and you'd like to say a few words.

181
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 4: But thank you very much.

182
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: You can hear the President there making it clear that

183
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 2: we have an ally in Saudi Arabia when it comes

184
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: to fighting terrorism, something the President wanted to point out,

185
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: also talking about how they worked together to make sure

186
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: they took out that Iran nuclear plant and one trillion

187
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: dollars of investment coming into the United States of America

188
00:09:53,360 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 2: as well. The House has passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act,

189
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 2: known as HR forty four oh five, with a one

190
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 2: twenty seven to one vote, with five not voting at all.

191
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: It was taken up under suspension of the rules, which

192
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 2: means it needed a two thirds majority, and still passed easily.

193
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 2: Every Democrat and all but one Republican voted yes. The

194
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: lone no vote was Representative Clay Higgins, a Republican from Louisiana,

195
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 2: who says he's worried about privacy for victims and people

196
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: mentioned who aren't charged with crimes. What the bill does

197
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 2: is passed by the House is this It orders the

198
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 2: Department of Justice to release all files, all records, all communications,

199
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: and investigative materials related to Jeffrey Epstein and associated investigations.

200
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: The Department of Justice has a short deadline thirty days

201
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: in some reports, fifteen in others, depending on version and

202
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: the final texts, and how that will be controlled to

203
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 2: make the material public once it becomes law. It also

204
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 2: allows reactions to protect the identity of victims and minors

205
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: avoid harming ongoing investigations as well, and explicitly says the

206
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: Department of Justice cannot withhold or redact information just because

207
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: it's politically embarrassing, reputationally damaging, or politically sensitive, quote unquote.

208
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: So the question now is what is next. Well, the

209
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: bill now goes to the Senate. The majority leader there,

210
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: John Thune, has said he expects a Senate to consider

211
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: it fairly quickly and possibly as soon as later today

212
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 2: or tomorrow. But it still needs sixty votes there. And

213
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: let's be honest, with a Senate divide the way it

214
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: is where you couldn't even get sixty votes to keep

215
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: America's government open, nothing is promising now. If it passes

216
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: the Senate, it would then go to President Donald Trump's

217
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: desk for signature. Now, the bill is aimed at forcing

218
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: the DOJ, as I mentioned earlier, to release a broad

219
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: universe of Epstein related materials, including case files related to

220
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 2: Epstein's sex trafficking investigation and prosecution his associate Maxwell, as

221
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: well flight logs and transportation records where DOJ has them,

222
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 2: internal communications and investigative notes files that mention public officials,

223
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 2: government employees, and other individuals connected to the case. Separate

224
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: from the bill, the House Oversight Committee already dumped more

225
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 2: than twenty thousand pages of documents from the Epstein estate

226
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: within the last week. That's obviously a lot of documents

227
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: that have now gone public, But this new bill is

228
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 2: meant to go further by targeting the Department of Justice

229
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: specific files. Now, the other question is where does the

230
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 2: president stand on this. Trump's stance has shifted well visibly

231
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: over the last few days. His earlier stance was why

232
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: are we doing this? There's nothing there. Let's move on

233
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 2: and get the work of the American people done. Then,

234
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 2: when Representative Thomas Massey and Representative Rocanna started the discharge

235
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: petition to force a vote, Trump and his allies pressure

236
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: Republicans not to sign it. One administration official report, he

237
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,359
Speaker 2: called signing the petition a hostile act.

238
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: To the administration.

239
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: But then Trump said, fine, you're gonna play this way

240
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: and you're going to turn this into a democratic hoax,

241
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 2: then we'll give you total transparency.

242
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: Once it became clear that the bill was going to

243
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: have the votes and the.

244
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 2: Discharge petition crossed a two eighteen signature threshold, Trump publicly

245
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 2: said to Republicans in the House they should vote to

246
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 2: release the files, saying, quote, I've got nothing to hide.

247
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 2: Republicans should support transparency and move on from what he

248
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 2: said is nothing but a demo democratic hoax, just like

249
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 2: Russia collusion. I'm all for it. Sure I would, was

250
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 2: another thing that the President said. The White House also

251
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 2: has a write up amplifying this line, telling Republicans go

252
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 2: and do it, and questioned whether Democrats will equally be

253
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: transparent about people in their orbit who might be named

254
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 2: in the files. So the short version is this, Donald

255
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: Trump said it was nothing at the beginning.

256
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: Many believe that is still true.

257
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: But now he's saying give it all to the American

258
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: people and telling Republicans to move forward, which they've clearly done.

259
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: There's also the political dynamics of this moving into the

260
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: Senate when you have a four hundred and twenty seven

261
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: to one vote, this makes this the most bipartisan moment

262
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 2: of Congress in my lifetime. The bill's sponsors and most

263
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: vocal supporters include Rocanna, Thomas Massey, Marjorie Taylor Green, Lauren Bobert,

264
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: Nancy Mace, a very ideologically mixed group that is clashed

265
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: with leadership at times as well. Speaker Mike Johnson ultimately

266
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 2: voted for the bill, but is still calling it a

267
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: political show vote and warning that forcing the DOJA to

268
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: classify within a fixed timeline is dangerous. As he described

269
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: it from an intel perspective, he's openly asking the scent

270
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 2: to change the bill to add more protections for victims

271
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: and also for whistleblowers. Now the White House and the

272
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 2: GOP messaging now is clear, there is nothing to hide.

273
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: It's embarrassing to name names for some, but they're saying

274
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: let it all be out there.

275
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: So what is next?

276
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: Well, over the next few days, the big question is this,

277
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: does the Senate change the bill? And if the Senate

278
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: amends or adds more privacy protections, the legislation would then

279
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: have to go back to the House.

280
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: How broad will the actual release be.

281
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: Even if it becomes law, Jay can still redact the

282
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: victims and active investigations. The fight will be over whether

283
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: the DOJ tries to stretch those categories or whether Congress

284
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: pushes for a very aggressive disclosure. And then there's more

285
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: documents to be dumped. In general, the House oversight already

286
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: releasing twenty thousand pages from the estate. If this bill

287
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: becomes law, DOJ production could be larger, more sensitive, and

288
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 2: more directly tied to federal investigations and.

289
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: Who knew what and when.

290
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: Now here's one other part that needs to be brought

291
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 2: up and addressed as well, and that is just well

292
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: the politics of this. Here is what James Comer had

293
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: to say about it.

294
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 5: In the House, they have no idea la They're just fishing.

295
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 5: They don't care about the victims. They don't care about

296
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 5: providing justice for the victims or giving the American people

297
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 5: the truth.

298
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: They only care.

299
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 5: About one thing, and that's trying to embarrass Donald Trump.

300
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 5: They hope and pray there's something in these documents that

301
00:16:58,680 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 5: will embarrass Trump.

302
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 6: I've subpoenaed the estate.

303
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 5: We've produced over sixty five thousand pages of documents, and

304
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 5: there's nothing in there about Donald Trump that hadn't already

305
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 5: been disclosed that President Trump hasn't already explained. All we

306
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 5: find are knew problems with Democrats like Stacey Plaskett and

307
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 5: Hakeem Jeffries.

308
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 7: So why not just release the files? I mean, if

309
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 7: there's nothing in there, who cares? Why not for transparency sake?

310
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 7: And the administration obviously players of the administration said they

311
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 7: were going to be released, and then some were released,

312
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 7: but not all of them. The President said, go ahead

313
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 7: and release them, So just get it out there and

314
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 7: have it done with.

315
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 5: Well, that's what I've encouraged the White House to do,

316
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 5: and they're working with us. They've released what they could

317
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 5: legally release. There's grand jury testimony, and the Trump administration

318
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 5: asked the judge to release that grand jury testimony, and

319
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 5: the judge, who was an Obama appointee, rejected the Trump

320
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 5: Department of Justice request to really least the grand jury

321
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 5: touch away. So a judge has to issue that. But look,

322
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 5: I think the Trump administration is working with us a

323
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 5: lot more than what the media has given him credit for.

324
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 5: But I've encouraged the President to disclose everything. I'm glad

325
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 5: that he's gone ahead and put this issue to borrow,

326
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 5: this Tutchar expetition behind us. This is just a stunt

327
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 5: by the Democrats and a few dyscrountaled Republicans. We're getting

328
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 5: the documents, and as soon as we get them on

329
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 5: the Oversight Committee, we're making in public and I think

330
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 5: that's what the President wants and hopefully we'll get all

331
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 5: the documents released and we can move on to the

332
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 5: issues that the American people care about.

333
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: It's clear this is political and that's exactly what James

334
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 2: Comer was calling out.

335
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: Again.

336
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: The Republicans voted for the transparency because what the Democrats

337
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: have done is they've used the abuse of sexual assault

338
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,719
Speaker 2: victims to try to score political points against Donald Trump,

339
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 2: and now it's backfiring yet again. It's all about transparency.

340
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: That is what President Trump promise when he was elected president.

341
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 2: Yet again, exposing mud that the government was hiding from

342
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: all of us. We now know that it's moving forward

343
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,719
Speaker 2: with the Epstein papers. I call them papers because it

344
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: is a lie to say that there is an Epstein file.

345
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: There are a lot of documents to deal with Jeffrey Epstein,

346
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 2: but it is not a file in the way that

347
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,479
Speaker 2: it was described before Donald Trump became president. You know

348
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 2: when the Democrats were trying to weaponize it. Well, now

349
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 2: we know we're going to get to see those files

350
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 2: or those papers. As a Speaker of the House, Mike

351
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 2: Johnson led the way with a House vote in favor

352
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 2: of disclosing exactly what we have at the DOJ. He

353
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: stated publicly a press conference, I'm going to vote to

354
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: move this forward. Despite describing the bill as a recklessly

355
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: flawed bill, Johnson also said that the measure is a

356
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 2: way to demonstrate transparency and there's nothing to hide. Specifically

357
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 2: in the context of responding to allegations that the files

358
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: might implicate Donald Trumper be used as a political weapon. Now,

359
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 2: Johnson went to the floor of the House and repeatedly

360
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 2: called the bill dangerously fawed because he believes it lacks

361
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: sufficient protection for victims, whistle blowers, and innocent third parties

362
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: whose names might appear in the files. He criticized how

363
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: the bill was drafted, for example, pointing out that the

364
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: authors of the discharge petition had signed the wrong section

365
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 2: of the US Code and that the legislation could force

366
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 2: the release of child sexual abuse material due to imprecise language.

367
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 2: Johnson also emphasized that the House cannot amend the bill

368
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 2: under the discharge petition process, so he wants to senate

369
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 2: via the Majority Leader John Thum, to make corrections before

370
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 2: final passage. He said he's been working with a small

371
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 2: army of lawyers on this issue. He also accused Democrats

372
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: forcing what he called a political show vote on this

373
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 2: issue and said it was irresponsible how it is happening.

374
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 2: I want you to hear Speaker Johnson in his own

375
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: words from the House talking about this before the vote.

376
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 8: Democrats are using the Epstein tragedy, the unspeakable evils that

377
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 8: this guy committed with his trafficking ring and all of

378
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 8: the abuses that they that they made these young women

379
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 8: go through. They're using that as a political weapon to

380
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 8: try to distract from their failures as a party and

381
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 8: to try their best to try to tie President Trump

382
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 8: somehow into this wretched scandal.

383
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 6: The President had nothing to do with it.

384
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 8: He's been very clear and he has nothing to hide,

385
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 8: and that's why he's endorsed the vote today. I suspect

386
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 8: this vote will be probably unanimous. But here's the important

387
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 8: point that everybody needs to understand we have been advocates

388
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 8: of maximum transparency, but we have also insisted that the

389
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 8: victims be carefully protected. The Oversight Committee has been doing

390
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 8: extraordinary work, and we've got some of the most vigorous

391
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 8: advocates on the Republican and Democrat side on the Oversight Committee.

392
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 8: They've been working in earnest to deliver transparency for the

393
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 8: American people and to do it in a responsible manner.

394
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 8: What do we mean by that, the bypart is an

395
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 8: effort over there is already producing all the results that

396
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 8: the discharged petition seeks and much much more. Chairman Comer

397
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 8: and all of these advocates over there have been releasing

398
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 8: thousands of documents, for example, from the Epstein estate.

399
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 6: By the way, in my view.

400
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 8: That's been the greatest treasure trove of information because it's

401
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,479
Speaker 8: yielded for us Epstein's own personal flight logs, his financial records,

402
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 8: his daily calendars, and so much more. But importantly, none

403
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 8: of that was addressed or is addressed, and the legislation

404
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 8: that's being voted on today, the estate files wouldn't even

405
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 8: have been encompassed in that. And so it goes to

406
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 8: show that the Oversight Committee is doing it from the

407
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 8: From the very beginning, we've been insistent that this matter

408
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 8: be handled carefully and with the utmost caution and care

409
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 8: for the people who have been harmed. They should not

410
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 8: be made to suffer any longer. We're talking about real

411
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 8: people's lives at stake here, and young victims who don't

412
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 8: want to be dragged into this political game that could.

413
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 6: Get hurt further.

414
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 8: But the Democrats are rushing the release of thousands of

415
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 8: unsubstantiated documents that may be included in this that are

416
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 8: going to be in the public domain with the passage

417
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 8: of this bill. And there are serious deficiencies in the

418
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 8: legislation that I have noted at length, and Republicans have

419
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 8: to work to address those deficiencies in the Senate if

420
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 8: and when this legislation is advanced. I stood before the

421
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 8: American public today at our press conference, and I explained

422
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 8: in detail that the dangers of the discharge petition. We

423
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 8: have posted at my website Speaker dot gov a summary.

424
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 8: The legal Council, a small army of lawyers put this together.

425
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 8: I used to be a federal court litigator. Many of

426
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 8: my colleagues whove spoken today were we understand the dangers

427
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 8: of how this was haphazardly draw on up and among them.

428
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 8: By the way, mister speaker, before I forget seeking AMAS

429
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 8: consent to enter into this document of the record, it

430
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 8: is that.

431
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 6: It's on the website.

432
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 8: It's entitled how the flaws of HR forty four h

433
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 8: five could revictimize Epstein's victims, create new victims, and damage

434
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 8: the judicial system.

435
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 6: It is dated today, thank you, and.

436
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 8: It summarizes just five or six of the major concerns.

437
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 8: Among them, it fails to fully protect victim privacy, It

438
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 8: could create new categories of victims. It potentially jeopardizes grand

439
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 8: jury secrecy. It fails to prohibit release of child sexual

440
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 8: abuse materials that are not appropriately defined in the legislation.

441
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 8: It jeopardizes future federal investigations, and we have National Security

442
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 8: currncerns regarding classified information. We'll put this in the record

443
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 8: because we need the legislative record to reflect what is

444
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 8: the legislative intent behind this vote. I used to litigate cases,

445
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 8: we would litigate federal statutes and whether or not they

446
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 8: could survive, and legislative intent is important, and we need

447
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 8: to say clearly for the record, as a speaker of the House.

448
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 8: I'm saying to you, this legislation that will pass today

449
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 8: is flawed and it must be amended. The question is

450
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 8: why didn't we amend it here before we passed it

451
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 8: because the authors won't allow it. Because under the rules

452
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 8: of the House in our discharge petition, they have to

453
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 8: agree to consent for the legislation to be amended, and

454
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 8: they are not doing that. So now we rely upon

455
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 8: our partners in the other chamber to get that done,

456
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 8: and they need to do that. The victims deserve our

457
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 8: utmost respect. In fact, they should be saluted for their courage.

458
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 8: And the young women who have not come forward who

459
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 8: are now some of them are middle h women who

460
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 8: have not come forward also deserve our respect and they

461
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 8: deserve to be protected. Republicans support transparency. We want maximum transparency,

462
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 8: especially when it comes to disclosing the names of anybody

463
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 8: who had anything to do with these evils, anybody who

464
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 8: conspired with or aided in any way Jeffrey Epstein.

465
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 6: They must be brought to justice.

466
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 8: We want the bill to be amended so it doesn't

467
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 8: in at the same time, violate victim privacy, create new victims,

468
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 8: disclose the names of any whistleblower or informant cause the

469
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 8: release of grand jury materials or child say abuse materials

470
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 8: are under minor national security, and if and when the

471
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 8: Senate takes this up, we will work with our colleagues

472
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 8: over there to make sure that these things are corrected.

473
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 8: I'll I'll just close with this simple thought. We've been

474
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 8: at this a while. It's drug on for a while,

475
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 8: but it's time for this to come to light. We

476
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 8: are I expect, I expect that this will be a

477
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 8: unanimous vote, and it will reflect what I think every

478
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 8: member in this chamber. And I'll say this now, at

479
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 8: least in recent days, every member of the Chamber on

480
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 8: the Democrats side, they didn't say anything for four years,

481
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 8: but they're for maximum transparency now and so is this site.

482
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 8: But we want to do it in a respectful and

483
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 8: careful manner so that we don't subject innocent people to

484
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 8: further harm. And that has been the whole thing I

485
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 8: told all my members today. I'll be voting yes on this,

486
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 8: and I suspect almost everyone will. We'll send it to

487
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 8: the Senate and we hope it's corrected. Thank you for

488
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 8: the time, speaker.

489
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: Now you back, you listen to what he just said there,

490
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: and it really shows you just how sick the Democrat

491
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 2: critic party is. They don't care who they hurt. The

492
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 2: Democratic Party just wants us to be a political issue.

493
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 2: They want it to be a political issue. I'm gonna

494
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 2: say it again. They want it to be a political

495
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 2: issue to hurt Donald Trump.

496
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: That's it.

497
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 2: That's the whole thing. That's literally the whole ballgame. It's

498
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 2: the only thing that they care about. It's sad because

499
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 2: there are flaws, but if you're a Republican, as the

500
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 2: speaker described there, and you vote against this, it would

501
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 2: be used and weaponized against you. That is one of

502
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 2: the sad and sick problems of.

503
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: All of this.

504
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 2: The final point that the President made about this is fine,

505
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 2: go ahead and make it public so it's clear there

506
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 2: is nothing that we as Republicans are trying to hide.

507
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 2: Put it all out there so that everyone can see it.

508
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 2: It's also sad that the Democrats can't even do that

509
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 2: the responsible way, and the only thing they want to

510
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 2: do is try to put Republicans in a corner and

511
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 2: they don't care what victims they hurt in the process.
