1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: The House has passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, known 2 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: as HR forty four oh five, with a one twenty 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,319 Speaker 1: seven to one vote, with five not voting at all. 4 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: It was taken up under suspension of the rules, which 5 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: means it needed a two thirds majority and still passed easily. 6 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 1: Every Democrat and all but one Republican voted yes. The 7 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: lone no vote was Representative Clay Higgins, a Republican from Louisiana, 8 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: who says he's worried about privacy for victims and people 9 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 1: mentioned who aren't charged with crimes. 10 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 2: What the bill does is passed by the House is this. 11 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: It orders the Department of Justice to release all files, 12 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 1: all records, all communications, and investigative materials related to Jeffrey 13 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: Epstein and associated investigations. The Department of Justice has a 14 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: short deadline thirty in some reports, fifteen and others depending 15 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: on version and the final texts and how that will 16 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: be controlled to make the material public once it becomes law. 17 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: It also allows reactions to protect the identity of victims 18 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: and minors avoid harming ongoing investigations as well, and explicitly 19 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: says the Department of Justice cannot withhold or redact information 20 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 1: just because it's politically embarrassing, reputationally damaging, or politically sensitive 21 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: quote unquote. So the question now is what is next. Well, 22 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: the bill now goes to the Senate. The majority leader there, 23 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: John Thune, has said he expects a Senate to consider 24 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: it fairly quickly and possibly as soon as later today 25 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: or tomorrow. But it still needs sixty votes there. And 26 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: let's be honest, with a Senate divide the way it is, 27 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: where you couldn't even get sixty votes to keep America's 28 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: government open, nothing is promising now. If it passes the Senate, 29 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: it would then go to President Donald Trump's desk for signature. Now, 30 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: the bill is aimed at forcing the DOJ, as I 31 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, to release a broad universe of Epstein related materials, 32 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 1: including case files related to Epstein's sex trafficking investigation and 33 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: prosecution his associate Maxwell, as well flight logs and transportation 34 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: records where DOJ has them, internal communications and investigative notes 35 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: files that mention public officials, government employees, and other individuals 36 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: connected to the case. Separate from the bill, The House 37 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: Oversight Committee already dumped more than twenty thousand pages of 38 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: documents from the Epstein estate within the last week. That's 39 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: obviously a lot of documents that have now gone public. 40 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: But this new bill is meant to go further by 41 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: targeting the Department of Justice specific files. Now, the other 42 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: question is where does the president stand on this. Trump's 43 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: stance has shifted well visibly over the last few days. 44 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: His earlier stance was, why are we doing this? There's 45 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: nothing there. Let's move on and get the work of 46 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: the American people done. Then, when Representative Thomas Massey and 47 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: Representative Rocanna started the discharge petition to force a vote, 48 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: Trump and his allies pressure Republicans not to sign it. 49 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 2: One administration official report. 50 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: He called signing the petition a hostile act to the administration. 51 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: But then Trump said, fine, you're gonna play this way 52 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: and you're going to turn this into a democratic hoax, 53 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: then we'll give you total transparency. 54 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 2: Once it became clear that the bill was going to 55 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: have the votes and the. 56 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: Discharge petition crossed a two eighteen signature threshold, Trump publicly 57 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: said to Republicans in the House they should vote to 58 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: release the files, saying, quote, I've got nothing to hide. 59 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: Republicans should support transparency and move on from what he 60 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: said is nothing but a democratic hoax, just like Russia collusion. 61 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: I'm all for it, Sure I would, was another thing 62 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: that the President said. The White House also has a 63 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: write up amplifying this line, telling Republicans go and do it, 64 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: and questioned whether Democrats will equally be transparent about people 65 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: in their orbit who might be named in the files. 66 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: So the short version is this, Donald Trump said it 67 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: was nothing at the beginning. Many believe that is still true. 68 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: But now he's saying give it all to the American 69 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: people and telling Republicans to move forward, which they've clearly done. 70 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: There's also the political dynamics of this moving into the Senate. 71 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: When you have a four hundred and twenty seven to 72 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: one vote, This makes this the most bipartisan moment of 73 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: Congress in my lifetime. The bill's sponsors and most vocal 74 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: support include Roe Conna, Thomas Massey, Marjorie Taylor Green, Lauren Bobert, 75 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: and Nancy Mace, a very ideologically mixed group that is 76 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: clashed with leadership at times as well. Speaker Mike Johnson 77 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: ultimately voted for the bill, but is still calling it 78 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: a political show vote and warning that forcing the DOJ 79 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: to to classify within a fixed timeline is dangerous. As 80 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: he described it from an intel perspective, He's openly asking 81 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: the Scent to change the bill to add more protections 82 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: for victims and also four whistleblowers. I want you to 83 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: just pause what you're doing for the next sixty seconds, 84 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: and I want you to imagine Lucy, a seven year old. 85 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: Her stomach often aches with hunger, her small hands instead 86 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: of holding crayons. Not only the struggle of survival on 87 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: dusty streets, school is a distant dream, medical care forgotten hope. 88 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: Lucy's potential is overshadowed. Her future is dim. But what 89 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: if someone stepped in? What if there was a way 90 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: to ignite hope for children just like Lucy? Well there is, 91 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: and that is with Compassion International Partners and the local 92 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: churches that provide children holistic support more than just food. 93 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: They receive critical medical care, life changing education, vital skills training, 94 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: and spiritual development, all in Jesus's name. And you can 95 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: empower a child just like Lucy to break free from poverty. 96 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: I want you to do what I've done and sponsor 97 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: a child today. You can visit Compassion dot com. That's 98 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: compassion dot com. Now the White Alison. The GOP messaging 99 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: now is clear, there is nothing to hide. It's embarrassing 100 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: to name names for some, but they're saying let it 101 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: all be out there. So what is next Over the 102 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: next few days? The big question is this, does the 103 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: Senate change the bill? And if the Senate amends or 104 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: adds more privacy protections, the legislation would then have to 105 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: go back to the House. 106 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 2: How broad will the actual release be? 107 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: Even if it becomes law, the DJ can still redact 108 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: the victims and active investigations. The fight will be over 109 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: whether the DJ tries to stretch those categories or whether 110 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: Congress pushes for a very aggressive disclosure. And then there's 111 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: more documents to be dumped. In general, the House oversight 112 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: already releasing twenty thousand pages from the estate. If this 113 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: bill becomes law, DOJ production could be larger, more sensitive, 114 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: and more directly tied to federal investigations. 115 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 2: And who knew what and when? 116 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: Now here's one other part that needs to be brought 117 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: up and addressed as well, and that is just well 118 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: the politics of this. Here is what James Comer had 119 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: to say about it. 120 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 2: In the House. 121 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 3: They have no idea, Laura. They're just fishing. They don't 122 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 3: care about the victims. They don't care about providing justice 123 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 3: for the victims or giving the American people the truth. 124 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 2: They only care. 125 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 3: About one thing, and that's trying to embarrass Donald Trump. 126 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 3: They hope and pray there's something in these documents that 127 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 3: will embarrass Trump. I've subpoena the estate. We've produced over 128 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 3: sixty five thousand pages of documents, and there's nothing in 129 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 3: there about Donald Trump that hadn't already been disclosed that 130 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 3: President Trump hasn't already explained. All we find are new 131 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 3: problems with Democrats like Stacey Plaskett and Hakeem Jeffries. 132 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 4: So why not just release the files? I mean, if 133 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 4: there's nothing in there, who cares? Why not for transparency 134 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 4: sake and the administration Obviously players of the administration said 135 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 4: they were going to be released, and then some were released, 136 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 4: but not all of them. The President said, go ahead 137 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 4: and release them. 138 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 2: So just get it out there. 139 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 4: And have it done with. 140 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 3: Well, that's what I've encouraged the White House to do, 141 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 3: and they're working with us. They've released what they can 142 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 3: legally release. There's grand jury testimony and the Trump administration 143 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 3: asked a judge to release that grand jury testimony, and 144 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 3: the judge, who was an Obama appointee, rejected the Trump 145 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 3: Department of Justice request to release the grand jury testimony, 146 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 3: so a judge has to issue that. But look, I 147 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 3: think the Trump administration is working with us a lot 148 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 3: more than what the media has given him credit for. 149 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 3: But I've encouraged the President to disclose everything. I'm glad 150 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 3: that he's gone ahead and put this issue to borrow, 151 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 3: this Dutch Art expetition behind us. This is just a 152 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 3: stunt by the Democrats and a few disgruntled Republicans. We're 153 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 3: getting the documents, and as soon as we get them 154 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 3: on the Oversight Committee, we're making them public. And I 155 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 3: think that's what the President wants, and hopefully we'll get 156 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 3: all the documents released and we can move on to 157 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 3: the issues that the American people care about. 158 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: It's clear this is political, and that's exactly what James 159 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: Comer was calling out. 160 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: Again. 161 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: The Republicans voted for the transparency because what the Democrats 162 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: have done is they've used the abuse of sexual assault 163 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: victims to try to score political points against Donald Trump, 164 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: and now it's backfiring. Yet again, it's all about transparency. 165 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: That is what President Trump promised when he was elected president, 166 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: yet again exposing much that the government was hiding from 167 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: all of us. We now know that it's moving forward 168 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: with the Epstein papers. I call them papers because it 169 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: is a lie to say that there is an Epstein file. 170 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: There are a lot of documents to deal with Jeffrey Epstein, 171 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: but it is not a file in the way that 172 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: it was described before Donald Trump became president. You know 173 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: when the Democrats were trying to weaponize it. Well, now 174 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: we know we're going to get to see those files 175 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: or those papers. 176 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 2: As a Speaker of. 177 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: The House, Mike Johnson led the way with a House 178 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 1: vote in favor of disclosing exactly what we have at 179 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: the DOJ. He stated publicly a press conference, I'm going 180 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: to vote to move this forward. 181 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 2: Despite describing the bill as. 182 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: A recklessly flawed bill, Johnson also said that the measure 183 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: is a way to demonstrate transparency and there's nothing to hide. 184 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: Specifically in the context of responding to allegations that the 185 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: files might implicate Donald Trumper be used as a political weapon. 186 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 2: Now, Johnson went to the floor of the House. 187 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: And repeatedly called the bill dangerously flawed because he believes 188 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: it lacks sufficient protection for victims, whistle blowers, and innocent 189 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: third parties whose names might appear in the files. He 190 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: criticized how the bill was drafted, for example, pointing out 191 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: that the authors of the discharge petition had sided the 192 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: wrong section of the US Code and that the legislation 193 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: could force the release of child sexual abuse material due 194 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: to imprecise language. Johnson also emphasized that the House cannot 195 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: amend the bill under the discharge petition sets, so he 196 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 1: wants to senate via the majority of Leader John Thum 197 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: to make corrections before final passage. He said he's been 198 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: working with a small army of lawyers on this issue. 199 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: He also accused Democrats forcing what he called a political 200 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: show vote on this issue and said it was irresponsible 201 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: how it is happening. I want you to hear Speaker 202 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: Johnson in his own words from the House talking about 203 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: this before the vote. 204 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 5: Democrats are using the Epstein tragedy, the unspeakable evils that 205 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 5: this guy committed with his trafficking ring, and all of 206 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 5: the abuses that they that they made these young women 207 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 5: go through. They're using that as a political weapon to 208 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 5: try to distract from their failures as a party and 209 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 5: to try their best to try to tie President Trump 210 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 5: somehow into this wretched scandal. 211 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 2: The President had nothing to do with it. 212 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 5: He's been very clear and he has nothing to hide, 213 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 5: and that's why he's endorsed the vote today. I suspect 214 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 5: this vote will be probably unanimous. But here's the important 215 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 5: point that everybody needs to understand. We have been advocates 216 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 5: of maximum transparency, but we have also insisted that the 217 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 5: victims be carefully protected. The Oversight Committee has been doing 218 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 5: extraordinary work, and we've got some of the most vigorous 219 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 5: advocates on the Republican and Democrat side on the Oversight Committee. 220 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 5: They've been working in earnest to deliver transparency for the 221 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 5: American people and to do it in a responsible manner. 222 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 5: What do we mean by that the bypart is an 223 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 5: effort over there is already producing all the results that 224 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 5: the discharged petition seeks and much much more. Chairman Comer 225 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 5: and all of these advocates over there have been releasing 226 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 5: thousands of documents, for example from the Epstein estate. 227 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 2: By the way, in my view. 228 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 5: That's been the greatest treasure trove of information because it's 229 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 5: yielded for us Epstein's own personal flight logs, his financial records, 230 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 5: his daily calendars, and so much more. But importantly, none 231 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 5: of that was addressed or is addressed in the legislation 232 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,719 Speaker 5: that's being voted on today. The estate files wouldn't even 233 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 5: have been encompassed in that, and so it goes to 234 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 5: show that the Oversight Committee is doing it from the 235 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 5: direct way. From the very beginning, we've been insistent that 236 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 5: this matter be handled carefully, with the utmost caution and 237 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 5: care for the people who have been harmed. They should 238 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 5: not be made to suffer any longer. We're talking about 239 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 5: real people's lives at stake here and young victims who 240 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 5: don't want to be dragged into this political game that 241 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 5: could get hurt further. But the Democrats are rushing the 242 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 5: release of thousands of unsubstantiated documents that may be included 243 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 5: in this that are going to be in the public 244 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 5: domain with the passage of this bill. And there are 245 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 5: serious deficiencies in the legislation that I have noted at length, 246 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 5: and Republicans have to work to address those deficiencies in 247 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 5: the Senate if and when this legislation is advanced. I 248 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 5: stood before the American public today at our press conference, 249 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 5: and I explained in detail that the dangers of the 250 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 5: discharge petition. We have posted at my website Speaker dot 251 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 5: gov a summary. The legal council, a small army of 252 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 5: lawyers put this together. I used to be a federal 253 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 5: court litigator. Many of my colleagues who have spoken today 254 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 5: were we understand the dangers of how this was haphazardly 255 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 5: drawn up and among them. By the way, mister Speaker, 256 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 5: before I forget seeking AMAS consent to enter into this 257 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 5: document of the record, it is that. It's on the website. 258 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 5: It's entitled how the flaws of HR forty four h 259 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 5: five could revictimize Epstein's victims, create new victims, and damage 260 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 5: the judicial system. 261 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 2: It is dated today, thank you. 262 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 5: And it summarizes just five or six of the major concerns. 263 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 5: Among them, it fails to fully protect victim privacy, It 264 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 5: could create new categories of victims. It potentially jeopardizes grand 265 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 5: jury secrecy. It fails to prohibit release of child sexual 266 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 5: abuse materials that are not appropriately defined in the legislation. 267 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 5: It jeopardizes future federal investigations, and we have National security 268 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 5: currncerns regarding classified information. We'll put this in the record 269 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 5: because we need the legislative record to reflect what is 270 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 5: the legislative intent behind this vote. 271 00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 2: I used to litigate cases. 272 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 5: We would litigate federal statutes and whether or not they 273 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 5: could survive, and legislative intent is important and we need 274 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 5: to say clearly for the record. As a Speaker of 275 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 5: the House, I'm saying to you, this legislation that will 276 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 5: pass today is flawed and it must be amended. The 277 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 5: question is why didn't we amend it here before we 278 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 5: passed it because the authors won't allow it because under 279 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 5: the rules of the House in or discharge petition, they 280 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 5: have to agree to consent for the legislation to be amended, 281 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 5: and they are not doing that. So now we rely 282 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 5: upon our partners in the other chamber to get that done, 283 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 5: and they need to do that. The victims deserve our 284 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 5: utmost respect. In fact, they should be saluted for their courage. 285 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 5: And the young women who have not come forward who 286 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 5: are now some of them are middle h women who 287 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 5: have not come forward, also deserve our respect and they 288 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 5: deserve to be protected. Republicans support transparency. We want maximum transparency, 289 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 5: especially when it comes to disclosing the names of anybody 290 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 5: who had anything to do with these evils, anybody who 291 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 5: conspired with or aided in any way Jeffrey Epstein. 292 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 2: They must be brought to justice. 293 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 5: We want the bill to be amended so it doesn't 294 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 5: at the same time violate victim p privacy, create new victims, 295 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 5: disclose the names of any whistleblower or informant cause the 296 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,959 Speaker 5: release of grand jury materials or child sexual abuse materials, 297 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 5: or under minor national security. And if and when the 298 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 5: Senate takes this up, we will work with our colleagues 299 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 5: over there to make sure that these things are corrected. 300 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 5: I'll I'll just close with this simple thought. We've been 301 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 5: at this a while, it's drug on for a while, 302 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 5: but it's time for this to come to light. We 303 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 5: are I I expect that this will be a unanimous 304 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 5: vote and it will reflect what I think every member 305 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 5: in this chamber. And I'll say this now, at least 306 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 5: in recent days, every member of the chamber on the 307 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 5: Democrats side, they didn't say anything for four years, but 308 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 5: they're for maximum transparency now and so is this side. 309 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 5: But we want to do it in a respectful and 310 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 5: careful manner so that we don't subject innocent people to 311 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 5: further harm. And that has been the whole thing. I 312 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 5: told all my members today, I'll be voting yes on this, 313 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 5: and I suspect almost everyone will. We'll send it to 314 00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 5: the Senate and we hope it's corrected. 315 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 2: Thank you for the time. I'm speaker. 316 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 1: Now you bet you listen to what he just said there, 317 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: and it really shows you just how sick the Democratic 318 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 1: Party is. They don't care who they hurt. The Democratic 319 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: Party just wants us to be a political issue. They 320 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: want it to be a political issue. I'm going to 321 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: say it again. They want it to be a political 322 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: issue to hurt Donald Trump. That's it. That's the whole thing. 323 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 1: That's literally the whole ballgame. It's the only thing that 324 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: they care about. It's sad because there are flaws. But 325 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: if you're a Republican, as the speaker described there, and 326 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: you vote against this, it would be used and weaponized 327 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: against you. That is one of the sad and sick 328 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: problems of all of this. The final point that the 329 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: President made about this is fine, go ahead and make 330 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: it public. Why so it's clear there is nothing that 331 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: we as Republicans are trying to hide put it all 332 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: out there so that everyone can see it. It's also 333 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 1: sad that the Democrats can't even do that the responsible way, 334 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: and the only thing they want to do is try 335 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: to put Republicans in a corner and they don't care 336 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 1: what victims they hurt in the process. 337 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 2: There was a major meeting in the Oval Office. 338 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: It's going to have a big impact on many Americans 339 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: and more than one trillion dollars of new investment in 340 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: the United States of America.

I want you to 361 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 1: take a listen to what the President had to say 362 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: as he introduced the Crown Prince to the media inside 363 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: the Oval Office. 364 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 6: Extremely respected man in the Oval Office today and a 365 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 6: friend of mine for a long time, a very good 366 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 6: friend of mine. 367 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 7: I'm very proud of the job he's done. 368 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 6: When he's done is incredible in terms of human rights 369 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 6: and everything else. 370 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 7: And he's the Crown Prince, the. 371 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 6: Future King, and I just want to pay my greatest 372 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 6: respect to your father King, who was an amazing man. 373 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 7: I met him early on. He freed him at the 374 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 7: airport at an age it. 375 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 6: Was pretty high up there, and it was about one 376 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 6: hundred and seventeen degrees that he was standing in the 377 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 6: red carpet as I came out of the plane, and 378 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 6: he's amazing. And when I met his brilliant son, who 379 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 6: was at the Oval office. Shortly thereafter you came in 380 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 6: representing the country, and I called the father. 381 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 7: I said, this guy is fantastic. And I don't know if. 382 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 6: That helped you or hurt you, but obviously it couldn't 383 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 6: have hurt too much because here you are right for 384 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 6: we had a great mating and the office has changed 385 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 6: quite a bit, and we inherited a mess. You actually 386 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 6: told me you thought the country was in big trouble. 387 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 6: I'm not going to use the exact word that you use. 388 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 6: I refused to say that you thought our country was 389 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 6: dead a year and a half two years ago, but 390 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 6: a country was in trouble. And now we have the 391 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 6: hottest country in the world. You said that also, and 392 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 6: we do we have. The United States is right now 393 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 6: the hottest country in the world. And between the tariffs 394 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 6: and the election November fifth election, we've done things that 395 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 6: nobody can believe. 396 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 7: Twenty one trillion dollars will be the. 397 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 6: Amount invested in the United States or committed to invest 398 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 6: in one year. So I mere nine months worked to 399 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 6: almost eighteen trillion dollars. Biden as an example the Biden administration, 400 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 6: if you call it that shot to me, it was 401 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 6: the Biden lack of administration. Less than one trillion for 402 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 6: four years. We're going to be twenty one trillion for 403 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 6: one year. I think that's hard to believe. The biggest 404 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 6: in history was a certain country three trillion. We're going 405 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 6: to be twenty one trillion. On top of that, prices 406 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 6: are coming down. We inherited a mess with high prices. 407 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 6: The worst inflation in the history of our country. We 408 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 6: had inflation that was a single four years, the worst 409 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 6: inflation in the history of the United States. 410 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 7: Gas prices through the route. 411 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 6: And that's after destroying our petroleum reserve, which was meant 412 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 6: for wars and big emergencies, not to try and win 413 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 6: an election. They opened up the reserve so that people 414 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 6: get three dollars less than gasoline, and it didn't work. 415 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 7: They got about three cents less. 416 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 6: Because as big as those reserves are, the peanuts when 417 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 6: you're talking about that kind of traffic and we're rebuilding 418 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 6: the reserves. 419 00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,719 Speaker 7: We're doing all of this, and we've done. 420 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 6: We're also bringing down prices very substantially, and we've already 421 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 6: brought them down very very substantially. 422 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 7: Gasoline is way down. 423 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 6: I think you'll be seeing two dollars gasoline, but we're 424 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 6: now at two fifty to forty five, somewhere lower than that. 425 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 6: It was four fifty five dollars, six dollars, three fifty three, 426 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 6: seventy five under by no all different numbers, but way high. 427 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 6: And we have energy way down. But the biggest thing 428 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 6: to me, because I know what it means in jobs, 429 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 6: is the fact that we're at over seventeen trillion dollars 430 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,199 Speaker 6: scott and we expect to be around twenty twenty one 431 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 6: trillion dollars in one year. And that's many times bigger 432 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 6: than in history. The highest number was three trillion dollars, 433 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 6: and we're going to be a twenty one trillion. 434 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 7: That means new plants, new AI, new auto plants. 435 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 6: We have auto plants coming in from Canada and from Mexico, 436 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 6: from Germany, from Japan. Toyota just agreed to invest ten 437 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 6: billion dollars on new auto plants, all American workers. 438 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 7: We've never been in a position like this. You can 439 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 7: go back to the beginning. 440 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 6: Our country has never been in a position like this, 441 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 6: and it really is because of the fact that we 442 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 6: use tariffs to bring all this money in. And you're 443 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 6: going to see the results in a year where these 444 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 6: plans start to open up. We have more plants under 445 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 6: construction now than at any time in the history of 446 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 6: our country. And these are big plants. These are the 447 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 6: biggest plants anywhere in the world. And I want to 448 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 6: thank you because you've agreed to invest six hundred billion 449 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 6: dollars into the United States. 450 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 7: And because my friends, he might make it a trillion, 451 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 7: but I'm going to have to work on him. But 452 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 7: it's six hundred We can count on six hundred billion. 453 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 6: But that number could go up a little bit higher. Yes, 454 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 6: I don't know, we'll see, but we appreciate it very much. 455 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 6: So Sadia is going to be investing at least six 456 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 6: hundred billion dollars, and that means investments in plants, in companies, 457 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 6: money on Wall Street, and what it really means for 458 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 6: everybody that really counts as jobs, a lot of jobs. 459 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 6: We have a lot of jobs. So I just want 460 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 6: to thank you. We've been really good friends for a 461 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 6: long period of time.

Nobody else 465 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 6: could have done that, No other president would have done it. 466 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 6: We had the pilots in the Oval office right here. 467 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 6: We were celebrating a very successful attack. So I had 468 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 6: them in with that beautiful be too bomber that's over there, 469 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 6: and they said, Sir, for twenty two years we practiced 470 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 6: this attack. 471 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 7: Our predecessors. These were very young guys. 472 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 6: So twenty two years they said, our predecessors and us 473 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 6: practice the attack on Iran. But no president ever gave 474 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 6: us the go ahead. Three times a year they went 475 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 6: out and they practiced the attack. Nobody let us do 476 00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 6: it until you came along. And I let them do 477 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 6: it because the right things to do.
