Colbert and Goodman are joined by Rep. Nancy Mears to discuss the fallout from the Nudes presentation at the congressional hearing. Also, James Comey went on Colbert to promote his new book and pushed a hoax regarding seashells in the sand. And Sean Ryan and Tucker Carlson talked about Bongino, the FBI and more.
00:02:43.000I was on there yesterday, and it should be called Pierce Morgan Censored because there was a conversation surrounding the N-word, language, cancel culture.
00:02:57.000Which, if you look at the reaction in context, no one is seemingly offended about it all.
00:03:04.000So we're going to discuss that and discuss what words mean and discuss what this victim culture has created and this black fatigue and this backlash.
00:03:12.000We didn't fully expect the reaction that we've gotten.
00:03:14.000Also, James Comey went on Colbert to promote his book.
00:03:17.000And also pushed a hoax regarding seashells in the sand.
00:03:21.000And Sean Ryan and Tucker Carlson talked about Bongino, the FBI, all that and more.
00:03:26.000This just came together at the last second.
00:03:27.000Nancy Mace is going, the real Nancy Mace on this show.
00:03:40.000Get natural relief from CB Distillery.
00:03:42.000Multiple scientific studies show it's proven to relieve pain and relax sore muscles, so you can get back to beating your kid at everything.
00:03:49.000You're only as young as you feel, right?
00:07:26.000We're not talking about wanting to go out and denigrate black people with the N-word.
00:07:29.000What we are discussing right now in this country is people being silenced and terrified of losing everything, even if they say the wrong word in the right context where they are condemning prejudice.
00:07:41.000It's a political weapon, and it's used selectively.
00:07:49.000And then, of course, it gets silenced.
00:07:52.000So we'll get to that sort of fallout in a bit.
00:07:54.000And after this, I want to ask you now, what do you think the issue is when you get that gut feeling of this victimhood culture, where someone claims they're a victim and you're going, no, hold on a second.
00:08:16.000And that's what I am rallying against.
00:08:19.000So, on to Censored with Pierce Morgan.
00:08:22.000By the way, Mr. Morgan, you are welcome to come on this show.
00:08:24.000I would very much welcome it and will host you graciously.
00:08:28.000This is the version they ran, they pre-tape, titled, I'm going to say it, N-word debate, I believe with Mark Lamont Hill, and censored it out.
00:08:38.000When we're talking about this new song...
00:08:40.000And as a comedian and as a linguist, I'm going to say the word here so that everybody knows, and that's what you're going to clip.
00:08:45.000We're looking at words that are offensive, a song that is offensive, but one is a boogeyman word.
00:09:05.000That'll get clipped, even though I'm condemning the song as anti-Semitic and not one person here who would be the victim of a more severe call to action.
00:09:16.000I think we're in a silly point in this country when we're pulling this clip to condemn the anti-Semitism here at the studio and people going, hey, can I get a second cut of that N-word?
00:10:38.000Sit down and shut up, but silence is violence.
00:10:41.000You can't go to empirical data like crime, neighborhoods, urban environments, Democrat mayors, but you also can't go back to the anecdotal, hey, I'm in an interracial relationship where I have black friends.
00:10:51.000There's no winning, and so the only way is to not play, and now we're not having these conversations.
00:10:54.000So after this, we reached out here on My Ex and said, hey, Pierce Morgan, I thought your show was called Uncensored.
00:11:01.000Can you explain why you felt the need to literally censor my words?
00:11:04.000And he responded, you said the N-word, and we don't allow that on our show.
00:11:08.000It's not about censorship, but about respect for black people.
00:12:10.000What we are talking about, and this is the thing, the conversation has been, I want to be able to say the N-word just because I want to use it in a racist context.
00:12:18.000We actually have lost the ability to have discussions about words, their meaning, in context as adults.
00:12:25.000We have lost that as a society, and that is not a good place to find ourselves.
00:12:30.000There are not throngs of people in this country going, I can't believe that I can't yell the N-word at a black person, but there are a lot of people going, hey, wait a second.
00:12:39.000If I'm addressing something very specific in a quote, I want to make sure, I just don't want to lose my livelihood.
00:12:46.000And so people check out, and you're not having a conversation anymore.
00:12:50.000There are real consequences to this, and that's what we are discussing, and you are going to see a backlash.
00:12:55.000The pendulum swing back the other way, where people just say, you've called me a racist so long, you know what?
00:13:35.000It's not the same thing as a word that we deem offensive after challenging someone to say it.
00:13:39.000He's also gone as far as to cut out some inconvenient sounds, because I know that interruptions take place a lot there, and that's not really the game that I want to play.
00:13:48.000And here's what you saw, and you wouldn't know this unless I told you.
00:14:06.000Would we also say, then, that the people giving to Anthony, Carmelo Anthony, support the wanton stabbing of white kids who die in their twin brother's arms?
00:14:13.000Now, that would seem silly to go, hey, what's happening there?
00:14:16.000Here's the actual clip, and this isn't the first time that this has happened on Piers Morgan.
00:17:15.000Here's the thing, and I'll get to why this affects everybody, and there's something that you're feeling in your gut that you may not necessarily know how to articulate.
00:17:21.000A lot of Americans feel this way, including, by the way, black Americans and certainly Hispanic Americans.
00:17:40.000I'm just the one sitting here listening to a very, very unpleasant young being deliberately unashamedly wants us to think she's admits to being and when you talk about context of using the N-word, she is using it in Wow.
00:19:47.000Let me give you an example, a few examples here.
00:19:49.000And then, I would like for you to comment if you can name one exception.
00:19:53.000Someone saying, using the N-word, even in the context of condemning racism, but discussing language as an adult, irreparably harms my soul because of that word.
00:20:05.000What's actually happening is people are being victimized by losing their livelihoods, by losing their jobs.
00:20:41.000The argument falls apart when they say, well, the N-word is the one word with historical context that has been imbued with power because they were oppressing slaves.
00:20:50.000I get that you will say Hail Hitler is not the same as a racial epithet.
00:20:54.000For example, if at any point I condemned the use of the word kike or Shylock.
00:20:59.000Again, I wouldn't be accused of being anti-Semitic because people are adults and can have that conversation.
00:21:03.000But if the N-word is so impermissible because of the power historically, give me one historical context where Hail Hitler is anything other than worse.
00:22:32.000Give me one exception today where when people are claiming victim status in trying to eliminate or silence your opinion, they are not actually acting as a predator, victimizing someone in real life.
00:22:47.000I want you to use that litmus test going, whether it's trans, Whether it's misogyny, sexism, whether it's racism, whether it's homophobia, any of it.
00:22:56.000Use that test and tell me I'm wrong on a single example.
00:22:59.000If there is a fake victim, there is a real victim, and in every scenario, the fake victim knows it.
00:23:42.000I want to run the clip and then we will have Representative Nancy Mace.
00:23:45.000Yesterday, Representative Nancy Mace dropped some private footage as part of, I believe it was, it was congressional testimony to push for passing some anti-voyeurism legislation.
00:24:50.000Representative Mace, thank you for being here.
00:24:52.000And thank you for having me and bringing attention to this very important issue for women and girls all across the country.
00:24:58.000Okay, I have some follow-up questions.
00:25:00.000Could you, the floor is yours, explain to people who may not be familiar with this, what is this important issue and what are you looking to achieve?
00:25:07.000We're talking about peeping Toms and voyeurism, voyeurism being those individuals who film other people in compromising positions, intimate, nude, that sort of thing.
00:25:17.000And I shared some examples of upskirt shots, nude imagery and videos yesterday in my hearing because I myself have...
00:25:27.000Just recently been through this over the last year and a half and uncovering all these videos I found, I identified some other potential victims, other potential women, and it's had devastating consequences for them.
00:25:38.000And I've learned so much about federal law and also state law.
00:25:41.000You know, Democrats tout the Violence Against Women Act as being this holy grail for victims like women of this kind of situation.
00:25:50.000And so I've drafted a couple pieces of legislation like the Sioux Warriors Act that...
00:25:55.000It creates a civil right of action or a civil tort for those who've been victims of voyeurism or peeping toms because there is no civil right of action at the federal level.
00:26:03.000And then also, it's not criminal to do this at the federal level under Title 18. It's only criminal in certain maritime jurisdictions, think cruises.
00:26:14.000And under state law, state law in South Carolina is much weaker.
00:26:17.000Like the screenshot you just showed of that clip of my naked silhouette on the screen there, first offense is a misdemeanor and a $500 fine in South Carolina, which is appalling that it's that little.
00:26:54.000But also in the last couple of months, you know, in working with these victims, I'm uncovering all kinds of cases that are not getting the justice they deserve in the county where this crime, these potential wrong, this potential crime crimes to place.
00:27:07.000We have pedophiles that are walking free.
00:27:31.000He's on the streets of South Carolina walking free.
00:27:33.000We have, there's a murder case up the road where a guy was chasing some other man nine miles down the road and shot him 15 times in the back and hasn't been, no trial.
00:27:43.000So what I've learned from this experience We have a really broken criminal and justice system in this country.
00:27:55.000Well, okay, so I want to get to, and of course I know that you've faced some criticism for this, and I want to give you a chance to respond to those.
00:28:01.000Obviously, in this case, I would imagine, since you presented that video, you have this video and you've turned it over, that would be significant evidence, and it would be kind of surprising if nothing is being done about that, because that in tandem with some of the, well, I guess I have to say claims, or the statements that you made yesterday, Are really serious, and I want people to see those so that they know what it is that was stated.
00:29:24.000One of the criticisms is that you are relying on congressional immunity where you make these accusations, right, as opposed to in a court of law or especially in the post-Me Too era.
00:29:34.000What do you say to those people that that's the only place you've made these claims definitively?
00:29:40.000Well, it will not be the only place I make these claims.
00:29:42.000I don't even consider these allegations.
00:29:46.000This is what I witnessed, what I saw, what I stand by, and I stand by every word, both of my February 10th floor speech and what I stated yesterday in my hearing.
00:29:53.000I will have a chance and an opportunity to say this under oath in a court of law, hopefully sooner than later, and I won't get into too many details, but that's already in motion.
00:30:02.000And, you know, I dare these folks, these predators, to sue me.
00:30:06.000Because I very much look forward to discovery and the depositions that will come along with it.
00:30:21.000There is already one case, and that falls under the Speech and Debate Clause, or the Westfall Act is the way that I interpret the Constitution.
00:30:27.000But I will absolutely have an opportunity.
00:30:30.000And everything I've stated publicly, I have also stated to investigators.
00:30:34.000And so I've sat down with investigators, I believe, three times in the last year and a half.
00:30:40.000And then, of course, in my speaking with other potential victims, I've uncovered more potential wrongdoing, more potential victims, more potential information that validates my experience and the experiences of other women.
00:30:53.000And so it's also, for me, the reason I did the floor speech and the reason I did this hearing is because I've learned how much failure there is in the system at the federal level.
00:31:03.000Which is where I, as a member of Congress, have a say.
00:31:05.000Whether it's the Violence Against Women Act, whether it's men in women's spaces, I am vehemently opposed to men being in women's bathrooms, showers, locker rooms.
00:31:14.000And part of that vehement anger that I have about men being in private spaces is because of the experience that I just went through, this trauma a year and a half ago when I uncovered all these things.
00:31:27.000You can imagine my shock and awe to discover, holy shit, this guy, this monster, I had videos of me undressed, and he saved them for over three years.
00:32:27.000And I encouraged women yesterday who think or believe they may be a victim within this group of individuals to call the state law enforcement division.
00:32:35.000And then or we have a tip line with our office that we will provide their information confidentially to the appropriate law enforcement.
00:33:10.000Because I know this being on air all the time, where if you are planning on pressing charges and going through that process, speaking publicly in a separate form can be a problem.
00:33:20.000Since this investigation has been going on since 2023.
00:33:22.000And I wanted to ask, so you're saying women have come forward against these specific men?
00:33:27.000So there are other women who are claiming to be victims and pressing charges?
00:34:03.000I didn't say anything about CSAM yesterday.
00:34:05.000Okay, but in your speech, there are some people who have come forward about potential CSAM with one of the individuals mentioned in that speech.
00:34:13.000Let me ask you, I want to ask this, did this man or these men, I think there's four or five, right, who are included in, I don't know, is it four or five?
00:34:21.000It's four, but it's various locations, at different locations, different, it's complex because they're different people, different.
00:34:28.000Locations, different victims, different potential wrongdoing and crimes.
00:35:02.000I brought footage forward with metadata, date and time stamps, file names, folders of where these things were saved, the devices where they were saved.
00:35:11.000You know, most investigations, when you have someone come forward, you just have some hearsay.
00:35:23.000You can use right now to go make the arrest and they haven't done it yet.
00:35:26.000And, you know, that's why, you know, I'm so passionate about this.
00:35:30.000Why do you think they haven't, though?
00:35:32.000Because that is not normal in these cases.
00:35:34.000I mean, especially after Me Too, where we have men who were accused and, you know, you have to balance.
00:35:38.000I have a son and I have a daughter and I'm very worried about her with predators, but I'm equally worried about him being falsely accused.
00:35:44.000We've seen men be railroaded and it turns out they didn't do anything.
00:35:47.000So if there's all of this evidence, why do you think there have been?
00:35:51.000No charges, no convictions, and it doesn't seem like there's going to be anytime soon.
00:35:56.000Well, I think that SLED confirmed this week that they were going to provide whatever their investigative file is over to the solicitor at some point.
00:36:03.000But this is the problem with South Carolina.
00:36:07.000So one of the attorneys, for example, one of the predators in this case, headlined a fundraiser for the solicitor who's taken this case by hand, handling it herself.
00:36:18.000So her last fundraiser before her re-election last year was headlined by one of the attorneys for one or more of these men.
00:36:25.000It says the conflict of interest is massive.
00:36:29.000The attorney general who should be championing this case is going to run for governor.
00:36:36.000You know, when you have these conflicts of interest, there's a political bias, I believe, underneath.
00:36:42.000And then when you look at all the cases of rape or assault of women, domestic violence in South Carolina, I've talked to so many women who've gone to law enforcement or gone to the authorities for these kinds of cases, and then they just tell you, well, there's nothing we can do for you.
00:36:54.000And I hear that over and over and over again.
00:36:56.000I know you mentioned the AG, and that was a thing, right?
00:36:58.000That was a little bit of a controversy because you said that he was dragging his feet.
00:37:01.000And I do know that he said, hey, I hadn't heard anything about this until the public statements.
00:37:21.000And instead of saying, hey, you're right, this is such an egregious case, instead of saying, you know, let's let's get justice for these victims.
00:37:28.000Let's change our state laws in South Carolina because they're so weak for women.
00:37:32.000Instead, he's attacked me as a as a victim.
00:38:19.000There's no way, with as high profile as an individual as I am and as an elected official, there's no way in October of last year, when I got my victim's rights advocate through his office, that he had no idea.
00:38:32.000I mean, either you're incompetent or you're ignorant.
00:38:39.000Yeah, well, I mean, it could also be, you know, this is not really their job, obviously, to go forward, like, from the base level.
00:38:45.000It would need to come from the police department first.
00:38:47.000So I think maybe there's a miscommunication there where maybe he didn't know, and then maybe he felt attacked, and then he kind of came back at you.
00:38:54.000So, you know, I hate to see that kind of infighting, especially over something as serious as, you know, underage rape accusations.
00:39:00.000And I really don't want this to get muddied when truth is paramount in all of this.
00:39:05.000And I know that you are running against him.
00:39:06.000Potentially people talk about this as governor.
00:39:09.000Let me ask you this when you get because I wouldn't know about this unless you came forward.
00:39:12.000Sounds to me like you're saying this is to raise awareness because the justice system has not been very just.
00:39:19.000Did Mr. Bryant at any point threaten to use this, disseminate this material?
00:40:12.000My fears for my daughter are the same as your fears for your daughter.
00:40:15.000My fears for my son are the same as your fears for your son.
00:40:17.000I've had to have very frank conversations with my son about...
00:40:21.000About false allegations, because that is a problem.
00:40:23.000And the women that come forward and make false claims do a great disservice to real victims when they come after or come later, because women aren't believed, generally.
00:41:02.000Mattress girl, the guy at Columbia never got to graduate, go to graduation.
00:41:05.000And it turns out she was sexually assaulting him.
00:41:07.000So I would disagree with that premise that women are not believed.
00:41:10.000She should be charged with a crime and should face jail time.
00:41:12.000Women that do that should face jail time.
00:41:15.000Yes, but the problem I have with the premise is that right now in today's society, women are often believed, and there's the court of public opinion that often takes priority over the actual courts, which is why I think you can understand, as you said, if you have a son, people being...
00:41:29.000If this man didn't go out and disseminate it, is it possible?
00:41:32.000Because it looked, I will tell you this, when I look at it, it looks exactly like the security camera that I have in my living room.
00:41:39.000Is it a security camera that existed in the house that you knew was there or you both knew were there and then it stores automatically to the cloud?
00:41:48.000Because that would be the same of every sort of ring camera, as it were.
00:41:52.000Well, I found the brand of the camera and provided that information, the serial number and the screenshots that I showed yesterday.
00:41:59.000I provide all that evidence over to law enforcement.
00:42:02.000Again, these are questions that I have.
00:44:52.000We went to couples counseling, and the couples counseling said, hey, you know, to rebuild trust in your relationship, you need to give her access to your phone.
00:45:00.000So he put my thumbprint on his phone, so my biometrics were on there, and I was allowed to go on his phone at any time.
00:45:05.000And that's when I accidentally uncovered it all.
00:45:14.000And when I found it, I took a couple of screenshots and I handed everything over to law enforcement.
00:45:19.000Again, this is not my job to be investigator or detective.
00:45:22.000It is law enforcement's job to do that.
00:45:25.000And I hope and pray that they're doing an extensive investigation and that justice is brought for all these victims and that at the same time we reshape federal and state law to do better.
00:45:36.000So you're going through couples therapy and he gave you the passcode or the biometric unlocking mechanism to his phone while you guys are, I assume, in somewhat dire straits and didn't delete non-consensual footage on the phone that you had access to?
00:45:53.000He definitely was transferring footage.
00:45:55.000And I showed a screenshot yesterday of files that were being transferred off his device.
00:46:00.000He got a second device, I said yesterday, like I saw a second device hit our Wi-Fi like that same day.
00:46:08.000A couple weeks later, he would replace his Android S22 with an Android S23.
00:46:14.000And there's some indication of data indicating that he may have been transferring terabytes of data, terabytes and terabytes and terabytes of data, which would indicate lots and lots of photos and videos, thousands of files potentially.
00:47:03.000How do you balance, because you just said you had a son, and I don't know if, Gerald, you had a question that you wanted to ask, but how do you balance, like you just said, being concerned for a son and a daughter, due process, obviously post-MeToo, which was spearheaded by Democrats, where it was a witch hunt, and obviously protecting victims of actual rape and sexual abuse?
00:47:25.000Yeah, with this legislation, how do we balance those things?
00:47:29.000Because, you know, I disagree with the premise that women are not believed.
00:47:31.000So, for example, that legislation that you proposed, would it still permit or would it allow, I should say, victims of false accusations of rape to sue their accuser or have equal criminal penalties?
00:48:36.000I've also worked with state lawmakers to draft a bill to strengthen South Carolina state law because it's a misdemeanor and a $500 fine on first offense.
00:48:44.000That particular bill would make it a felony and make the financial penalties significantly higher because we want to deter these people as much as we can on the very first offense and then it gets worse from there.
00:48:56.000And so I've been working with state lawmakers and then of course I have my own legislation at the federal level based on the experiences I uncovered with all of these women.
00:49:17.000Like, bury the pedophiles under the jail.
00:49:19.000You know, like, these guys should be getting long prison sentences if what we're claiming is true.
00:49:23.000I think the question that I had for you is I've had a theory about this that I'm really worried about.
00:49:29.000We've seen people tried in the media before.
00:49:31.000I'm not saying that's what you're doing, by the way.
00:49:32.000I just want to set this up because you're somebody who's experiencing this.
00:49:35.000And I think your opinion would be very valid.
00:49:36.000I am of the mindset that to balance this out and make sure that justice is served and people aren't taken like Brett Kavanaugh, taken through the media, basically just to smear his name.
00:49:47.000We shouldn't be making names public and accusations this.
00:49:52.000This dire, I mean, these are very serious accusations that somebody has been raped and some people's privacy has been violated at the very least.
00:49:59.000There's a lot of very serious allegations here until a legal process has gone through.
00:50:06.000And I wonder what your opinion is on that because I understand that there are problems potentially with that because we want to hold people accountable.
00:50:11.000Sometimes the justice system doesn't do us justice, essentially, or takes so long to do justice that justice is really delayed and that's kind of denied.
00:50:19.000But at the same time, haven't we seen so many people's lives ruined?
00:50:28.000He's still not getting that time back.
00:50:30.000He's still not getting the contracts back for Trevor Bauer.
00:50:32.000You're still not having Brett Kavanaugh's kids not think that, hey, did something happen with my dad where he was drunk and raped somebody?
00:50:38.000So shouldn't there be some more protections here to make sure that everybody is protected in the system and it doesn't swing one way or the other with allegations being made in public that are very specific when cases haven't been tried yet?
00:50:50.000Well, I think that in this particular instance, I am exposing what is completely shattered and broken and corrupt in South Carolina's court system and justice system.
00:51:06.000And in fact, one of the rape victims didn't get her victim's rights advocate until the day of my speech on February 10th, six months later, after she came forward.
00:52:02.000But what about your, but for you, why do you, because you made your claims, right?
00:52:07.000You can't, some victims may not, like you said, want to come forward, but yours, that's been open since 2023, before you came out and stated his name publicly.
00:52:14.000Like, let's say, because this is the question people have, and I know that, and I appreciate you allowing us to be fair.
00:52:19.000There could be a universe in which Nancy Mace and this Mr. Bryant had a very ugly falling out.
00:52:25.000You got these while you were together and then used it against him, and the investigation reveals that there is actually no crime.
00:52:31.000Like, if that happens, should he be able to sue you?
00:52:38.000Let's just say there was a very nasty breakup.
00:52:41.000Let's just say it was the worst in the world.
00:52:43.000That doesn't negate that I was filmed without my knowledge, without my permission, without my consent, and those videos were saved for years.
00:53:26.000I mean, there's a case in Myrtle Beach where the guy was chased nine miles down the road, shot 15 times in the back, no charges.
00:53:33.000And when, you know, now the feds are stepping in.
00:53:35.000I am going to ask the feds to step in on this and provide some oversight because there's been, I believe, obstruction of justice by the solicitor and other issues that underscore the political bias and the unfair way that Some of the victims have been treated.
00:53:53.000Some of us feel like we've been treated like criminals, and the criminals treated like victims.
00:53:57.000And that's not the way the system is supposed to work.
00:54:32.000Did his name have to be used to accomplish that?
00:54:35.000Because it's a bell that cannot be unrung.
00:54:37.000You may be 100% right in this case, but what about some of the other cases we've seen in the past and yet future where maybe a name gets dropped in public and people drag them through?
00:54:48.000The social media hellscape that happens after that and the media hellscape?
00:55:16.000You do understand the jeopardy we have where people's lives are being ruined by this.
00:55:21.000How do we balance that when public accusations include people's names while an investigation is going on?
00:55:28.000Is there a better way for us to accomplish all of it, to keep women safe, but also to make sure that men are not just going to, with no recourse.
00:55:36.000Like, I sue the lady who accused Trevor Bauer, but you're not going to get any money from her.
00:55:40.000She's just going to declare bankruptcy.
00:55:44.000That happens a lot, and I want to make sure that neither one of these things happen.
00:55:48.000That the rape doesn't happen, that the voyeurism doesn't happen, and that the men's names, if they don't have to be used, and I don't see a reason why they do yet, maybe there is one.
00:55:56.000Well, let's, Representative, why did the name specifically, because you said they revealed your identity, and again, I didn't know about this until you started speaking about it, so if they did that, that's horrible, and that would be the answer, but why did the name have to be used?
00:56:07.000I believe that there is a present danger, particularly at some of the locations I mentioned in my speech where underage children are.
00:56:16.000I wanted to be sure that families and parents, that I don't know that the general public knew that there are certain locations that I would not advise your child to go to because of some of what was being filmed or allegedly or being done at those locations with cameras.
00:56:31.000To me as a mom, I didn't have a choice.
00:56:35.000And as I went through the process of the last year and a half, and I learned about all these other allegations and potential wrongdoing from parents who were aware of things being filmed about with underage children, potentially, you know, all of that.
00:56:47.000To me, this is a clear and present danger.
00:56:49.000At one of the properties I mentioned in the speech.
00:56:52.000And so, for me, this was like an immediate clear and present danger to my constituents, not only just to women, potentially underage girls as well.
00:57:29.000Because I would imagine if children are any property right near theirs, you'd have security camera footage to make sure that everything is kosher.
00:58:05.000Well, yeah, but over the course of the last year and a half talking to potential victims, I've learned so much more and I'm informed by other potential wrongdoing and crimes.
00:58:13.000But then even since my February speech, I've had parents come forward with some claims and they're really damning.
00:58:23.000As long as these certain individuals, at least one individual that I spoke about in my speech, if he's still free, kids are in danger, and they should not be at that location.
00:58:33.000And so just, you know, for me, it was like, I didn't have a choice.
00:58:43.000And I stand by every word I said in my floor speech.
00:58:45.000I stand by every word I said in my hearing yesterday.
00:58:51.000This can't go on and I'll run through a brick wall if I have to to protect my constituents and to protect kids and protect women across South Carolina and all across the country, really.
00:59:47.000I just wanted to get that point of using names.
00:59:50.000None of it seemed like it really answered the question, except for the case she was trying to make was, well, there's a clear and present danger with children.
00:59:58.000And I'm like, well, that was in 2023, that there was a clear and present danger when you found that out.
01:00:02.000So if it was a holy shit moment, I have to do this right now to make sure these kids are safe.
01:00:53.000But if it's something where they were going through couples counseling and she had a thumbprint, she accessed readily available footage that wasn't deleted, that was security camera footage in a house where both of them were naked, and this is part of a rough breakup.
01:01:04.000Look, the criticisms are legitimate because a lot of guys, you know, a lot more people who've gone through something like that than people who've been raped or have been subject to a roving rape group, which...
01:01:59.000It matters for my three sons that I have going forward.
01:02:02.000It matters how we handle this stuff as a society to make sure that women are protected, but also to make sure that men who have no recourse in these situations...
01:02:11.000Don't lose everything over an allegation that is not true.
01:02:14.000Do you think you'll ever have a sperm and egg that turns into a lady?
01:07:48.000A lot of us had this thought yesterday when she put that out, Nancy Mace, where she basically said, like, hey, I'm going to show my naked body.
01:07:56.000We have better footage of Bigfoot than what we saw yesterday in the hearing.
01:08:00.000I'm not saying that that wasn't her, necessarily.
01:08:02.000It was just, I think there was a lot made of this, and a lot of attention was grabbed by this.
01:08:08.000A lot of times we talk about, especially with Dan Pongino and those guys, we've talked about stuff where it's like, listen, you've got to make sure you nail these wins.
01:08:14.000When you go out and do stuff like that, when you say you're going to release the Epstein files, you've got to do that.
01:08:17.000When you say you're going to turn the FBI into a museum on day one, you've got to do that.
01:08:21.000Or don't say it, and then you're fine.
01:08:23.000It's somewhat of a better proposition.
01:08:25.000In this case, it was like, a lot was made of this, and then there's a lot of questions.
