1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: But does Clinton owe the public an explanation about his 2 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 2: You know, I actually haven't tracked what President Clinton has said, 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 2: and if they're unanswered questions, you know, he should address him, 5 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 2: and I suspect he will. But let's just make sure 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 2: that we meet the promise that President Trump made as 7 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 2: a candidate that all these files will will be released. 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 2: Let's put all the facts and all the material out 9 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: on the table, and then folks can reach their own 10 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 2: judgments about anybody connected with this horrible, horrible case. 11 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson. 12 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 4: Good Monday morning.

They're not pictures of President Donald 58 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 4: Trump that are damning. They're pictures of a former President 59 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 4: of the United States of America, Bill Clinton. Pictures that 60 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 4: if they were of Donald Trump, the world would stop. 61 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 4: Everyone would be freaking out, and it would be twenty 62 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 4: four to seven. Wall to wall news coverage, special reports, 63 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 4: investigative reporters, would be working non stop without sleep. There 64 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 4: would be breaking news, There would be constant questions about 65 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 4: is Donald Trump going to go to jail? But the 66 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 4: pictures are odd of Donald Trump, the pictures of our 67 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 4: former president Bill Clinton. Todd Blanche was on Meet the Press, 68 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 4: and I want you to hear what he had to 69 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 4: say about the investigation, and did Jeffrey Epstein and also 70 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 4: Bill Clinton after what has come out this. 71 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: Week President Bill Clinton. Of course, a number of photos 72 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: of President Clinton were released Friday, a Clinton spokesperson saying 73 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: the White House hasn't been hiding these files for months, 74 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: only to dump them late on a Friday to protect 75 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton. This is about shielding themselves from what comes 76 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: next or from what they'll try and hide forever. Let 77 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: Musky bluntly, is President Clinton under investion? 78 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 5: I will never talk about ongoing criminal investigation. So I'm 79 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 5: not going to answer that question. But let me address 80 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 5: the second part of the quote that you just gave us. 81 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 5: Think about how patently absurd that position is, the idea 82 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 5: that we have hundreds and hundreds of DJ lawyers. These 83 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 5: are not politicals. It's not me, it's not trensonal Bondy 84 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 5: looking at all, of these files and determining whether they 85 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 5: are responsive to the Act, and we overcollected, by the way. 86 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 5: We went out to all of our components and we said, 87 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 5: give us any document that you think, in any way, 88 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 5: shape or form is connected to the Epstein case. And 89 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 5: that's what we're going through. So the idea that we 90 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 5: are hiding something or there's something that we have hidden 91 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 5: under a rock around President Trump for other Republicans is 92 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 5: not only false, but it's obviously false for anybody that's 93 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 5: intelligent enough to think about what we're doing. 94 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 4: You listen to the question there and his plans described 95 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 4: it right. He's answering it. Bill Clinton is under investigation 96 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 4: connection with Jeffrey Epstein. He said, I will never talk 97 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,799 Speaker 4: about ongoing criminal investigation, so I'm not going to answer 98 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 4: that question. But let me address the second part of 99 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 4: the quote that you just gave us, and he went 100 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 4: on to talk about the DODA and the politics involved here. 101 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 4: I want you to imagine for a moment that what 102 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 4: I'm about to describe you as Donald Trump, I want 103 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 4: you to imagine if there were images of him on 104 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 4: Epstein's private playing with unidentified people. By the way, that's 105 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 4: exactly what we have on Bill Clinton. I want you 106 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 4: to imagine if a photo of Bill Clinton in a 107 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 4: pool with Epstein's associate Maxwell, the woman, the madam, the 108 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 4: sex trafficker, and Epstein's a long time associate with other 109 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 4: women in the pool faces were also redacted, if that 110 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 4: would have been Donald Trump, can you imagine? Or how 111 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 4: about the hot tub photo of Bill Clinton in a 112 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 4: hot tub with a redacted woman? Can you imagine what 113 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 4: the media would be doing right now? Now? Of course, 114 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 4: we must state the obvious. The file doesn't mean wrongdoing 115 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 4: has been proven. Legal experts and news outlets it were 116 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 4: falling over themselves to say, these are just documents and photos. 117 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 4: They don't imply any criminal conduct by Clinton, but should 118 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 4: there be an investigation? News reports note that Trump's name 119 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 4: is not anywhere close to what had been described beforehand, 120 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 4: right is prominent in these files? It's not there. But 121 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 4: what is there is something that they don't want to 122 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 4: talk about, and that is a former Democratic president, Bill Clinton, 123 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,239 Speaker 4: who is all throughout the Epstein files. Clinton spokesperson says 124 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 4: the focus on him is quote political scapegoating. So now 125 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 4: he's playing the victim instead of protecting the women that 126 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 4: were abused by Epstein that the White House is using 127 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 4: the images they say for partisan purposes. The spokesman also 128 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 4: pointed out that Clinton severed ties they claim with Epstein 129 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 4: long before Epstein's later crimes were widely known, which brings 130 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 4: us to what the Republicans should do now. House Republicans 131 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 4: James Comer, they have subpoenaed the Clintons, Bill Clinton and 132 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 4: Hillary Clinton to testify about their knowledge of Epstein's activities, 133 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 4: with threats of contempt if they refuse. I think clearly 134 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 4: now they should do a full court press because we 135 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 4: should get the answers and for law publicized records. Prior 136 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 4: to this release, we knew that there was extensive connections 137 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 4: between Bill Clinton and Epstein. How do we know it? 138 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 4: Through the flight logs, through pictures, through social events. The 139 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 4: list is long. There was also a timeline that we 140 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 4: could all go back to during the nineteen nineties all 141 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 4: the way through the early two thousand, Epstein visited the 142 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 4: White House multiple times under President Clinton. Clinton also flew, 143 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 4: we know for a fact, on Epstein's private jet at 144 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 4: least dozens of times. A flight records show multiple international 145 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 4: trips with Secret Service present or associated with those trips. 146 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 4: As well. Clinton, of course, has denied any knowledge of 147 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 4: Epstein's criminal activities and says his interactions were limited, as 148 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 4: he described it, to quote charitable or social contexts. Government, 149 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 4: by the way, and fact checking groups are also going 150 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 4: beyond saying there's no evidence of these files that show 151 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 4: Clinton committed a crime in relation to Epstein. Now, what 152 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 4: the Epstein files do not show so far is a 153 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 4: couple of things. One, there's been no criminal charges or 154 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 4: accusations against Clinton that have made it in a direct 155 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 4: connection with Jeffrey Epstein. That doesn't mean that there's not 156 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 4: an ongoing investigation now, which is why I played for you, 157 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 4: Todd Blanche a moment ago. And what we do know 158 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 4: is the media is doing everything they can to now 159 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 4: make this go away. This is one of those FAFO moments. 160 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 4: Democrats wanted this Epstein file thing to be all about 161 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 4: Donald Trump. And now what we find out is the 162 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 4: most important person these files to answer question is a 163 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 4: guy by the name of Bill Clinton. We also know 164 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 4: about Bill Clinton's past, We know about Monica Lensky. We 165 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 4: also know that Bill Clinton lies when it comes to stuff. 166 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 4: You may remember, I did not have sexual relations with 167 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 4: that woman that was a lie. We know that Bill 168 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 4: Clinton is saying now over and over again, there was nothing. 169 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 4: There's no there there, right, there's nothing here, there's nothing 170 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 4: to see. I didn't do anything wrong. But should there 171 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 4: be an investigation? And should Bill Clinton be held to 172 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 4: the same standard that Democrats were demanding without any of 173 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 4: this evidence that a guy by the name of Donald 174 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 4: Trump should be held to Why not hold them to 175 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 4: the same center they demanded, especially when there's actual evidence, 176 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 4: pictures and a long list of times that the two 177 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 4: spent together in hot tubs, in pools, on planes, private jets. 178 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 4: The list goes on and on. So watch how fast 179 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 4: they hope this story disappears over the holidays. They're hoping 180 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 4: that when you're with your family and your friends, that 181 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 4: you'll just move on from Bill Clinton being all in 182 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 4: the Epstein files. They're hoping that you'll look the other way. 183 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 4: They're hoping that you'll just say, oh, that's just Bill 184 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 4: Clinton being Bill Clinton and there's nothing there. Never forget 185 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 4: how they slandered and weaponized the Epstein files to try 186 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 4: to hurt Donald Trump. But now when there's real questions 187 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 4: about one of their own, they're going to walk the 188 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 4: other way, which brings it. The final point, was this 189 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 4: ever really about the Epstein victims to the media? Was 190 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 4: this ever really about the Epstein victims to the Democratic Party? 191 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 4: I think it's pretty clear the answer is no. It 192 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 4: was all about hurting Donald Trump. 193 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 3: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 194 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 3: with Ben Ferguson.
