1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Hey, the folks, it's Tuesday, January thirteenth, the day that

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: former President Bill Clinton was supposed to show up in

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: Congress and give some testimony. Well he didn't show up.

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: He sent a letter instead, and with that, welcome to

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 1: this episode of Amy and Tjes. It's a kind of

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: a long letter, but he could have just put four

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: words on there, kiss my entire ass.

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: I wondered where the fourth one was coming. All right,

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: you went with entire all right now. Instead, he alongside

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: his wife, Hillary Clinton, she was set to testify tomorrow.

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 2: He was supposed to testify today, and I say supposed to.

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: They were subpoenaed to testify today and tomorrow. They sent

13
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 2: a joint letter. It was eight pages long, and it

14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: was kind of like, well, they ended the game of chicken,

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: because this has been a standoff that's been going on

16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: for months now, and they basically put it very clearly,

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: do what you need to do. So we're doing what

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: we need to do.

19
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you a game of chicken. These are some pretty

20
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: big chickens they sent into this fight for them, because

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: these letters came from some really high profile and high

22
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: powered attorneys, written on their behalf and laying out all

23
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: the arguments for why they're not legally required to show up.

24
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: If they don't show up, you're subpoenaed by Congress and

25
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: you don't show up. That is a crime, and they

26
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: can be held in criminal contempt and throw the Clintons

27
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: in jail.

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: Correct, Even the Clintons even addressed the possibility of imprisonment,

29
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: and they are just saying this is their time to

30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: take a stand. By the way, the last time do

31
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 2: you know the last time a contempt of Congress charge

32
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: was successfully prosecuted where someone actually was charged, convicted, and

33
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: actually punished Watergate. We're talking nineteen seventy four g. Gordon Liddy.

34
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: That is how rare this is, That is how rarely

35
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: it's used. It might be threatened more than it should be.

36
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: But if they go forward with this, and James Comer,

37
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: Republican from Kentucky, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, says

38
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: that he is going to file contempt of Congress charges

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: against the Clintons next week.

40
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: If if this committee has to vote on these contempt charges,

41
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: and then it has to go to the full House,

42
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: and all kinds of stuff and steps have to take

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: place before we get to that. Can you imagine we're

44
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: going to get to it. They were supposed to. Yes,

45
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: he was supposed to testify today. She was supposed to

46
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: testify tomorrow. This was still supposed to be behind closed doors,

47
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: so it wasn't supposed to be necessarily a public spectacle.

48
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: Their argument is everyone else that you subpoened as a

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: part of this, you waved their requirement to show up

50
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: and testify, So why are we being treated differently?

51
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 2: Correct? They said, seven of are the eight people subpoenaed,

52
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: were allowed to just submit written testimony, basically just saying

53
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: in written form what they knew and when they knew

54
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: it and how they knew it. And the Clintons say

55
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: they have already given the limited information they have to Congress,

56
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: and there is nothing more for them to give. There's

57
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: no more information for them to share. So this is

58
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: a political game.

59
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: Obviously, anybody, no matter what side of the aisel you're on,

60
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: you can understand that, yes, this is clearly what we're

61
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: looking at, and that one of the funniest was saying,

62
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: it's not funny, it's whoever's representing Hillary Clinton, Like why

63
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: is she even here?

64
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: She ain't got nothing to do with nothing.

65
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was like well, I'm sorry, can someone explain

66
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: to me why I'm involved in this in any way? Shape?

67
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: She was not, And there are no accusations about, first

68
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: of all, any wrongdoing, any crime on his part and ever.

69
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: And also she's never just been attached.

70
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: To the guys, not even a little bit. And Comer

71
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: even said today, no one is accusing Bill Clinton of anything,

72
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: any wrongdoing. We just have questions. I thought you mentioned

73
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: funny something else that was funny. We'll get into the

74
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: letter and the contents, because, as you might imagine, it

75
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: was very well crafted. But i letter. They even suggested,

76
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: I bet you're going to hold a press conference. I

77
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: bet you're going to have an empty chair to show

78
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: where I should have been sitting today. Sure enough, Representative Comer,

79
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: when speaking to reporters just a short time ago, had

80
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: a chair left empty to call attention to the fact

81
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: that former President Clinton was not there. So it was funny.

82
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: He even called him on it, and they did it.

83
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: But it's it's a game. Who knows it better than

84
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton, everything that's come at him over the past

85
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: forty fifty years. So, oh my goodness, this guy, he's

86
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: seen it all. But this is a show. This is

87
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: a spectacle. Now, how far are they going to take

88
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: this thing and try to pursue Now, there is a

89
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: DOJ right now that would probably.

90
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 2: Happily because foul charge. That is the last step. So

91
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: if that passes the panel, the full House votes to

92
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: go forward with these contempt of Congress charges, then the

93
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: DOJ has to make the decision to prosecute. I think

94
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: we all know that latter part of the is almost

95
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: a sure thing. They got this thing ready to go,

96
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: like they are ready to get.

97
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 3: Like those letters for the Kennedy say, BONDI.

98
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 2: Is salivating what like what a legacy for her waiting

99
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: to prosecute Bill Clinton for contempt of Congress?

100
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: Maybe the Clintons, the Clintons, both of them, that would

101
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: be something. But yes, you remember, folks, Yes, yes, the

102
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: Epstein files are out, I guess now.

103
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: Ish not really, there's still millions of files left to

104
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: you know, somehow they'll have to redact before they can release.

105
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: And then then if anything looks bad for the administration

106
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 2: or anyone they don't want it to look bad for,

107
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: they'll just say it's a false But they're trickling bit

108
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: of information that isn't true.

109
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: They're trickling. Yes, dump at a time, I should probably

110
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: say is a better way to put it. But yes,

111
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: they have been coming out. But when the subpoenas were

112
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: issued for the Clintons and others, it was before the

113
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: files had come out, it was before Congress had made

114
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: all this agree, so everybody was still after the files

115
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: and information at the time, so they subpoened all these folks.

116
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: The Clintons were supposed to go in what October, but

117
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: then they had a funeral, so they kept pushing it down.

118
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: N They claimed there have been five, almost six months

119
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: worth of back and forth, so what is the point

120
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: of continuing this. So letter that was directed to Chairman

121
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: Comer about this subpoena starts pretty we can go back

122
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: and forth the first five or so paragraphs. We'll just

123
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: give it to you how they wrote it, to dear Chairman.

124
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 2: Coma, we want to take a moment, given everything, to

125
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 2: address you directly. This past year has seen our government

126
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 2: engage in unprecedented acts, including against our own citizens. People

127
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: have been seized by masked federal agents from their homes,

128
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: their workplaces, and the streets of their communities. Students and

129
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: scientists with visas permitting them to study and work here,

130
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: have been deported without due process. The people who laid

131
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: sea to the US capital have been pardoned and called heroes.

132
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: Agencies vital to the country's national security have been dismantled. Universities,

133
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: media companies, law firms have been subjected to threats to

134
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: their funding, access, and licensing. He goes on and on

135
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: and on, talking about even most recently and searingly, an

136
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: ICE agent killed an unarmed mother only days ago. So

137
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: they lay all this out to say this, every person

138
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: has to decide when they have seen or had enough

139
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: and are ready to fight for this country, its principles,

140
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: and its people, no matter. The consequence for us now

141
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: is that time.

142
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: I don't know where it is in the letter if

143
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: you have it in front of you, but they it's

144
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: You can isolate the line where they're making a point

145
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: that they are contributing to disrupting the Republican and the

146
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: Trump agenda because you all are redirecting your time and

147
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: you're focusing your energy towards this stupid chase of the Clintons.

148
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: And you know what, if we can distract you from

149
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,239
Speaker 1: we're screwing up the country.

150
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,559
Speaker 3: Cool. I thought that was an interesting line.

151
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: Yes, I was trying to find it. Oh, here it is.

152
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: I love this. Indeed, bringing the Republican's cruel agenda to

153
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: a standstill while you work harder to pass a contempt

154
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: charge against us than you have done on your investigation

155
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: this past year would be our contribution to fighting the madness.

156
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: So yes, they're saying, if we can actually be the

157
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: reason why you hold your cruel agenda that they disagree with, deportations, etc.

158
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: YadA YadA, and instead focus on trying to charge us,

159
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: will take it, will be will fall on that sword

160
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: to disrupt your agenda. They did say that. They said,

161
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 2: we have tried to give you the little information we have.

162
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 2: We have done so because mister Epstein's crimes were horrific.

163
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,479
Speaker 2: If the government didn't do all it could to investigate

164
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: and prosecute these crimes for whatever reason, that should be

165
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 2: the focus of your work to learn why and to

166
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: prevent that from happening. Ever again, they said, instead, you

167
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 2: have forced the victims to relive their pain experiences while

168
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 2: doing little to give them and everybody else what's deserved,

169
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: truth and justice. There was no plausible explanation for what

170
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 2: you are doing other than partisan politics.

171
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: I mean, is anyone arguing that point. Do we really

172
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: think Hillary Clinton is about to move, is going to

173
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: shake heaven and earth over the Epstein investigators.

174
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 2: I do believe that there are people who believe Bill

175
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 2: Clinton knows more than he's saying, and Comer even exploited

176
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: that by saying that Jeffrey Epstein visited the White House

177
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: during Bill Clinton's presidency seventeen times. I believe he said

178
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: that today in today's presser, and so yes, they continue

179
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 2: to fan the flames that Bill Clinton. And look, there

180
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: are plenty of pictures. Bill Clinton talked about those pictures.

181
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 2: He said they were done nothing more than to embarrass him,

182
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: and he was pictured with Epstein specifically before he was

183
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 2: accused of any of the wrongdoing. It was an era

184
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 2: before all of the allegations. That is a point to

185
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: be made, and that is a point Bill Clinton has made.

186
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: That is actually true. I don't know if you remember

187
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: a year off the top of your head, but it

188
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: was somewhere around two thousand when the last I think interaction,

189
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: or at least those two were known to have been together.

190
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: Early two thousands, Say was it twenty What year was

191
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: his charge in Florida?

192
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: Two thousand and seven. Seven that was Epstein's charge was

193
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven.

194
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: So yes, we know what is anyone arguing that this

195
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: isn't what this is? Well, folks, that is part of

196
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: the letter. Yes, we just shared there from the Clintons personally,

197
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: but we'll also share some pretty strong language from the

198
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: letter that the attorneys sent. Also, we will tell you

199
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: just how much of a penalty the Clintons could be

200
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: looking at, including jail time, if they are found in

201
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: contempt of Congress.

202
00:10:47,880 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 2: Stay here, welcome back everyone, as we discuss this new

203
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: potential contempt of Congress charge that could be levied against

204
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: both Bill and Hillary Clinton. Today, Bill Clinton was subpoena

205
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: to address the House Oversight Committee about what he knows

206
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 2: about Jeffrey Epstein to answer questions from congressmen and women.

207
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: He chose not to show up, as did Hillary Clinton.

208
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 2: She was subpoenaed to show up tomorrow, and both of

209
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: them they sent a letter. They sent a personal letter

210
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: from their letter ahead from William Jefferson Clinton and Hillary

211
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: Rodham Clinton directed specifically to Chairman James Comer, and they

212
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: expressed and told Comer why they would not be attending

213
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 2: this hearing today and tomorrow.

214
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's bs first of all, is what they argue.

215
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: We're bring treated differently, like we were just talking about

216
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: a moment ago from the other witnesses that you allow

217
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: to just wave showing up.

218
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 3: The lawyers.

219
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: You won't know these law firms, but you know they're

220
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: the type that have two names in it Williams and Connolly,

221
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: Jenner and Block LP. You know, you know, big time folks. Well,

222
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: they wrote a letter on bout and this is the

223
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: one that lays out a lot of the constitutional arguments,

224
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: but Robes this is the paragraph that stands out, saying

225
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: to comer as you know, absent a valid purpose. And

226
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: in light of the fact that President and Secretary Clinton

227
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: have already shared more information with the committee voluntarily than

228
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: the committee could obtain via the compulsory process, it is

229
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: clear the subpoenas themselves and any subsequent attempt to enforce

230
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: them are nothing more than a ployed to attempt to

231
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: embarrass political rivals. As President Trump has directed, Wow, plaina's day,

232
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: thank you all the following instruction, Yes, and they have.

233
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: They cite down below the exact time where the President

234
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: has a quote in which he says Epstein was more

235
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: tied to Democrats. Name them, call them out, embarrass them,

236
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: is what it's says.

237
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: Yes, and I thought this was a well strong and

238
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 2: power language by Bill and Hillary Clinton. In their decision

239
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: to not testify despite subpoena. They said, you will say

240
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 2: it is not our decision to make, but we have

241
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: made it. Now you have to make yours. That game

242
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 2: of chicken right there, they are looking Comer and the

243
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: Committee in the face and saying, we are prepared to

244
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: make our case to your forty five committee members, and

245
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: if need be more more importantly, we will also defend

246
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 2: ourselves in the public arena and ensure this country knows

247
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 2: exactly what you are doing and why you are doing so.

248
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: Your move patna exactly You're a move. But some will

249
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: suggest I mean, he could have immediately gone forward. I

250
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: guess he can wait till tomorrow to see if Hillary

251
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: Clinton is going to show up. At least that gives

252
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: him he can save some face. At least, ah, give

253
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: it a shot and wait, and then he can say

254
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: he's going to do it next week to still try

255
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: to give time to work, something he.

256
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: Has already said next week. He's already given himself some leeway.

257
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.

258
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: He's looking for a political way out in where he

259
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: doesn't look like he just lost to the Clinton.

260
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: Well, what do you think though? At this point he

261
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 2: said that he is going to pursue contempt of Congress

262
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: charge charges? How does he backpuddle off of that? I mean,

263
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: he was used very strong language today, and yes, this

264
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 2: letter from Bill and Hillary used very strong language right back,

265
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 2: like bring it on, what's good?

266
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 3: What's the numbers game?

267
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 2: Now?

268
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: How many folks in Congress are going to do what

269
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: Trump tells them to do, is that you better vote

270
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: for this contempt? How many on that panel are going

271
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: through step and say this is silly, we don't need

272
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: to be doing this. Possibly a Republican to do that,

273
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think a single Democrat is

274
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: going to vote to hold these two in contempt.

275
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 3: I just don't.

276
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: But now it becomes what do our constituents want us

277
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: to do? What is MAGA going to be upset about?

278
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: And so it becomes this kind of game. Now, what's

279
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: going to happen? This is okay, we shall see more

280
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: high drama way too.

281
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 2: Yes, but it should be noted if all of those

282
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 2: things do happen, if the vote happens, if if the

283
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 2: full House votes yep, and then and if that happens, yes,

284
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: we know what Pam BONDI would do. The Clintons are

285
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: facing a fine up to one hundred thousand dollars each

286
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:11,479
Speaker 2: they can cover, and one year imprisonment.

287
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 3: That's gonna be tough. That's gonna be tough.

288
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: That's hard to imagine happening. It's not going to be

289
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: a former president and a former first Lady and a

290
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: former senator.

291
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: No, this is not It's not happening now, I would argue,

292
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna have to cam or he's gonna

293
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: have to a lot of folks. He's trying to throw

294
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: it in jail. Call me, excuse me. I'm not It's no

295
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: new reason to make this prediction.

296
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 3: This is madness.

297
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 2: Mad Yes, and this is one of those moments where

298
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 2: you actually you're you're watching it happen, and you know

299
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: this is history happening, but it seems surreal. And yes,

300
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: where it all ends no one knows.

301
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: But let's get on the record. What's gonna happen next year.

302
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: My guess is he will bring it.

303
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 3: To a vote and there won't be the votes and

304
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: won't be the votes.

305
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: That's what. If I had to make a prediction, that

306
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 2: would be my prediction. Okay, what is your prediction?

307
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 3: Stay tuned.

308
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to say until I see what Hillary

309
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: Clinton's gonna do tomorrow. Right, folks, We always appreciate you

310
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: spending some time with us. This is another developing story today,

311
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: so we want to hop on and give you the update.

312
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,680
