00:00:00.000 They voted for it, and it ended up being, what, 427 to 1 on releasing the Epstein files.
00:00:08.920 And a lot has been released since there.
00:00:12.440 Is this the breakdown, Rob?
00:00:14.160 Yep.
00:00:14.560 Go for it.
00:00:15.600 We begin with Congress approving a bill to force the release of the government's files
00:00:19.420 related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
00:00:22.060 CBS News reporter Erica Brown joins us now from Capitol Hill.
00:00:25.040 Erica, can you explain what happened in the Senate?
00:00:26.880 Yeah, Lindsey, just a short time ago, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer took to the
00:00:33.660 Senate floor to get unanimous consent that would deem this bill automatically passed.
00:00:38.560 Rob, it's okay.
00:00:39.100 We don't need to watch this.
00:00:39.960 I thought it's like a little bit different breakdown.
00:00:41.620 It's like two people sending it to each other.
00:00:43.420 So it's Senate and House, Rob, right, that both said they're passing it.
00:00:48.400 And then as we're going through this, the only guy that didn't, Rob, if you can pull him up,
00:00:52.280 Clay Higgins, he's the only person that didn't do it, representative, Republican representative,
00:00:56.880 I want to say he's out of where?
00:00:58.900 Why do I think it was Oklahoma?
00:01:00.020 I don't know if it's Oklahoma.
00:01:01.040 Louisiana.
00:01:01.680 Louisiana.
00:01:02.180 Okay.
00:01:02.780 And if you don't mind going to his Twitter account for us to just let him give his argument
00:01:05.860 why he didn't do it.
00:01:07.380 On Twitter, he explains, this is why I voted no.
00:01:11.020 And I've been a principled no on this bill from the beginning.
00:01:15.540 What was wrong with the bill three months ago is still wrong today.
00:01:17.660 It abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America.
00:01:21.000 As written, this bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people, witnesses, people who provided
00:01:26.140 the alibis, family members, et cetera.
00:01:28.040 If enacted in this current form, this type of broad reveal of criminal investigation files
00:01:32.380 released to a rabid media will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt.
00:01:36.960 Anyways, that's his reasoning behind it.
00:01:38.280 Go a little bit low, Rob, to see what it says because there's a community notes.
00:01:41.640 Rivenism claims misrepresent the HR 4405.
00:01:45.240 The bill includes redactions from victims and uninvolved individuals.
00:01:48.740 Massey explained victims can't release names due to lawsuits forcing them into homelessness.
00:01:53.780 Okay.
00:01:54.100 So maybe there's a little bit of contradiction there.
00:01:56.860 Tom, your thoughts with what was released yesterday.
00:02:00.080 Are we going to learn anything?
00:02:01.640 Are we going to see anything?
00:02:02.720 Or is this just another one of those, you know, they're going to release it just to say
00:02:06.120 they did?
00:02:07.000 Well, always be concerned if your government does something unanimously because it's technically
00:02:11.560 a mathematical and a statistical, you know, not impossibility, but it's highly improbable.
00:02:17.960 Like if they're voting on raises for themselves, all of a sudden you say, hey, Senate and Senate,
00:02:22.380 everybody was like, oh, what is it?
00:02:24.360 You know, you take all the congressmen, all the Senate, boom, done.
00:02:27.260 So what has happened here is they're all voting to release it, but there's two asterisks in it.
00:02:36.020 The Attorney General, Pam Bondi, can elect to redact it, I think, for matters of national
00:02:43.240 security, A, or B, if it would interfere with an ongoing investigation.
00:02:50.380 Help me out here, you know, you guys.
00:02:52.760 I think those were the two exceptions, which means that Pam Bondi can swing by the CIA and 1.00
00:03:00.260 get all those groovy black highlighters out and go through the whole thing and basically
00:03:06.360 have the same situation as they had when they handed those binders to the social media people
00:03:12.600 and they walked out with the binders that said Epstein files.
00:03:15.800 This isn't that.
00:03:16.740 Yeah.
00:03:17.020 No, no.
00:03:17.900 Supposedly that was that.
00:03:19.480 This is now.
00:03:20.380 But that had a bunch of stuff that was already released.
00:03:22.680 But that didn't go through House and that didn't go through Senate.
00:03:24.980 That was just more like a marketing stunt that they did.
00:03:27.660 It turned out to be a marketing stunt.
00:03:29.320 Exactly right.
00:03:30.180 But now the government's saying they put this out.
00:03:33.460 It's going to end up being a marketing stunt again because Bondi's going to go over there.
00:03:36.860 She's going to redact a bunch of stuff.
00:03:38.280 With all those CIA black highlighters.
00:03:39.740 Exactly.
00:03:40.060 You think it's going to be a publicity stunt.
00:03:41.520 Oh, of course it is.
00:03:41.820 I mean, why did both parties agree to this?
00:03:44.720 Exactly.
00:03:45.280 That's what you're saying.
00:03:46.160 That's the logic I'm building right back to that driveway at the White House.
00:03:49.060 She's going to redact a bunch of stuff which will allow the Democrats to say, 0.99
00:03:52.220 you're still not showing us everything that's in the files.
00:03:54.920 And then the Republicans can say, no, we released the files, but we had to protect names.
00:03:58.100 And the political theater goes on and on and on.
00:04:00.660 Got it.
00:04:01.020 So you don't – Brent, are you in a different position here?
00:04:03.960 No, I'm not.
00:04:04.800 I'm so – unfortunately, I'm so burnt out by this one because we've been kind of let down
00:04:09.120 and misled and manipulated so many times.
00:04:11.020 Like, I'm never going to expect to get a satisfying answer with this in terms of, like, learning
00:04:15.980 new information.
00:04:17.280 And like they said, there's no way that 427 people would vote in favor of it if it's going
00:04:21.720 to do anything damaging to powerful people in a big way.
00:04:24.320 Okay.
00:04:24.600 So I'm curious, Jeff.
00:04:25.540 We've had a lot of different theories why we believe they haven't released it yet.
00:04:30.340 We have our own theories.
00:04:31.620 Why some of the information – well, you know what?
00:04:34.020 It's because there's so many Democrats that are on there.
00:04:36.080 No, it's because so many donors that gave money to Trump are on there.
00:04:38.620 Oh, my God, Elon Musk, when he tweeted that, there was a big falling out.
00:04:41.400 No, it's because of maybe Trump's relationship with Epstein.
00:04:44.160 Why do you think all the information is not being released?
00:04:46.880 Why isn't it not being released?
00:04:47.960 I think a lot of it has to do – I mean, why is it that this is such a mainstream topic
00:04:51.760 that everybody wants to get into?
00:04:53.460 I mean, like you said, this is the number one news story.
00:04:56.820 The audience.
00:04:57.060 Yeah, exactly.
00:04:57.580 Why is that, though?
00:04:58.820 Because people believe that there is a two-tier structure, at least two tiers in this country.
00:05:03.280 Right.
00:05:03.480 And that the elite people have their own set of rules and benefits.
00:05:08.020 And if you're in the club, you're in the club.
00:05:10.020 And therefore, the rules don't really apply to you.
00:05:13.260 And so I think that's why everybody is really taken to the story.
00:05:17.640 And you get into the idea of the establishment versus regular folks, the uniparty.
00:05:22.080 I think that's exactly what we're seeing.
00:05:23.300 But flip it, though.
00:05:23.760 What I'm trying to ask you is, you're a smart guy.
00:05:26.160 What are you speculating is the reason why both parties have held back from releasing it?
00:05:31.960 That's exactly – because people are right.
00:05:34.040 Because people are right.
00:05:35.060 Because both of them have guys on the list.
00:05:37.400 There's this idea that, you know, American public is a bunch of stupid idiots who don't know anything.
00:05:41.860 But you look at time – survey after survey for something like consumer confidence on the economy.
00:05:45.900 Americans know better about the economy than every economist that has ever lived.
00:05:49.200 Same thing with politics.
00:05:50.860 In a big data sort of way, in a big crowd sort of way, American people have –
00:05:54.640 Collectively.
00:05:55.180 Yeah, collectively.
00:05:56.180 That makes sense.
00:05:56.840 They have an idea of what's really going on here.
00:05:58.540 And the reason why this story won't go away is because people sense – and every time something happens –
00:06:03.300 So what's more likely to happen, it going away or the truth coming out?
00:06:07.060 It going away.
00:06:08.020 Oh, you think it's going to go away eventually?
00:06:10.460 There's too much incentive to just continue to dangle the carrot as much as necessary.
00:06:15.880 And then just – like the sleight-of-hand magician.
00:06:18.280 What I do like about it is that we're learning a few new things where, you know, Hakeem Jeffries, you saw that email that reached out to Epstein to want to ask him for money.
00:06:29.800 And then when he did, he says he'd like to set up a meeting with Obama.
00:06:34.680 And then here – I don't know if you have the clip, Rob – with Rochanna's being asked about it.
00:06:38.880 And he just got out.
00:06:40.020 He has no clue.
00:06:40.840 And look at his reaction.
00:06:42.020 He doesn't even know what to say.
00:06:43.300 Go ahead, Rob.
00:06:43.820 Comment on Hakeem Jeffries' campaign soliciting money from Jeffrey Epstein himself back in 2013.
00:06:51.400 It's the first time hearing about it, obviously.
00:06:53.600 Comer said it on the floor.
00:06:55.300 Well, I don't know if it's true.
00:06:57.340 I mean, you're just saying it.
00:06:58.760 But obviously anyone who took money from him should return the money or didn't donate the money.
00:07:03.500 Did he step down as leader?
00:07:06.840 I have to look at what you're saying is the first time hearing about it.
00:07:10.580 He's a reasonable guy.
00:07:11.380 And he's a little bit –
00:07:12.960 Return the money or donate the money.
00:07:14.420 But don't you see that as mutually assured destruction?
00:07:17.080 Mm-hmm.
00:07:18.320 What a great way to put it.
00:07:19.980 You want to take out Trumpers, one of the Republicans, we got the dirt on you too.
00:07:24.620 So let's just bury this thing.
00:07:26.140 Let's get together, hold hands, and bury this thing and just move on with our lives.
00:07:29.760 Yesterday, a reporter was asking a president about Epstein.
00:07:34.840 And I've never seen him use this phrase before.
00:07:37.100 But he told a quiet piggy.
00:07:39.280 Rob, can you pull this up, Rob?
00:07:41.040 I don't know if you have it or not.
00:07:42.260 Yes.
00:07:42.700 I watched it multiple times because I'm not going to lie to you.
00:07:45.460 I thought it was AI.
00:07:46.900 And I had to verify it because – go ahead, Rob.
00:07:50.200 So he dictated a couple of members to him, something we bring.
00:07:53.860 You've got to find out what did he know with respect to Bill Clinton, with respect to the head of Harvard,
00:08:00.240 with respect to all of those people that he knew including J.P. Morgan.
00:08:03.540 I'll go back a little bit again.
00:08:15.660 With the finger in her face. 1.00
00:08:18.500 Yeah, but it's also the smile in his face, right?
00:08:20.460 The way he delivers those lines.
00:08:22.060 Do it again.
00:08:24.380 Quiet.
00:08:25.140 Quiet.
00:08:25.380 He lets her right in the eye.
00:08:31.200 What do you think about this?
00:08:32.700 What do you think about this quiet piggy?
00:08:33.960 He's a great politician.
00:08:35.340 He connects with people.
00:08:36.300 I think a lot of people, just regular folks, would say, I'd love to be able to do that to some of these reporters.
00:08:41.220 You know what that says?
00:08:42.580 You know what?
00:08:43.100 You just said something there.
00:08:44.180 I'm going to give you a high five. 0.84
00:08:45.140 This is like the first ten minutes.
00:08:46.920 Here, I'll tell you why.
00:08:47.460 We're already doing good.
00:08:48.260 Because you struck it.
00:08:49.760 Because you know why so many people let the troller in chief?
00:08:54.200 Because sometimes he's the troller in the chief, and that's exactly what I voted for.
00:08:58.200 You know, I voted for a guy that's going to get in the face of the media.
00:09:01.540 I voted for a guy that's going to be here.
00:09:03.320 But everybody, doesn't everybody sit back?
00:09:05.860 I wish I could say that to my boss.
00:09:07.680 I'm in Dallas.
00:09:08.580 I'm in the hotel room.
00:09:09.580 It's a hidden thing.
00:09:10.620 I want to do it.
00:09:11.380 I want to do it.
00:09:12.080 And he's doing it for me.
00:09:13.520 I'm in the bathroom.
00:09:14.360 I come to Jen.
00:09:15.240 I said, babe, the president just said this.
00:09:18.280 Her instant reaction is she couldn't stop laughing.
00:09:24.000 The fact that a president told a reporter, quiet piggy.
00:09:28.180 Who says that?
00:09:29.540 I mean, you can say F you.
00:09:31.520 You can say you mother.
00:09:33.160 What's worse, I'd rather be told that than be called a piggy.
00:09:36.420 Be quiet piggy.
00:09:37.640 And they're all searching for how that it's racial or sexually.
00:09:42.080 They're trying to find a way.
00:09:43.520 Wait.
00:09:43.740 According to reports, this is the reporter that the president called piggy.
00:09:48.300 Has anybody asked him why he called her piggy?
00:09:51.940 Not that I'm aware.
00:09:52.740 I'll look.
00:09:53.140 What is the?
00:09:54.520 There has to be a back story.
00:09:55.560 She doesn't look super bad.
00:09:56.440 There has to be a back story.
00:09:57.560 There's got to be some other.
00:09:58.200 Does she have pigs as a pet? 1.00
00:09:59.980 No, I'm actually curious.
00:10:01.340 Is there like a pig fetish?
00:10:02.180 Well, it's all nursery rhyme, this little piggy, this little piggy did this.
00:10:06.600 If you've got big plans for 2026, I am telling you right now, I can't tell you how many conversations we're having about business planning.
00:10:12.260 There's a reason why we went less than 22 hours to Dallas and come back because we want to see exactly what's happening with 2026.
00:10:19.180 We're planning for our family, for our businesses ourselves, and if 2026 is a big year for you as well, I want you to watch this clip.
00:10:25.660 Rob, can you go to the clip with the Jenga to show them what happens when it comes on to business plan and how all of these things are necessary?
00:10:33.560 Go ahead, Rob.
00:10:34.680 Business is a lot like Jenga.
00:10:36.440 Every piece matters.
00:10:38.520 You need a vision.
00:10:40.180 Just carefully.
00:10:42.240 Ooh, foo, foo.
00:10:43.260 You need capital.
00:10:44.660 You definitely need capital.
00:10:45.720 So, let's put this here.
00:10:47.880 Ooh, listen, hanging on one piece here, by the way.
00:10:50.360 You need the right team.
00:10:52.040 For sure.
00:10:53.040 This almost fell off, by the way.
00:10:54.200 You need sales.
00:10:56.400 As good as this looks, if your foundation isn't built on a good business plan, you know what happens?
00:11:08.020 The whole thing crumbles.
00:11:09.180 If you have big plans for 2026, on December 12th, I'm hosting an event called the Business Planning Workshop, where all day we go through the 12 building blocks of writing an effective business plan.
