00:00:00.200 Pam Bondi on 0-10, how do you think she performed?
00:00:04.180 Pam Bondi, how do you think she performed?
00:00:05.480 Overall?
00:00:06.040 Overall.
00:00:06.520 I think she's doing an abysmal job.
00:00:08.220 No, no, no.
00:00:08.820 The hearing.
00:00:09.600 Oh, the hearing?
00:00:11.000 Tom gave her a two.
00:00:12.020 I gave her a five.
00:00:12.860 She was right in the middle because she was fighting back,
00:00:15.600 but saying the stock market is good
00:00:18.580 and all the other stuff that was happening was bad.
00:00:20.040 Tom, why do you give her a two?
00:00:21.260 I give her a two.
00:00:22.180 I thought, and I don't want to give that.
00:00:25.080 But guess what?
00:00:25.620 I got to call balls and strikes.
00:00:26.680 And the answer she gave, a couple of the redirections she had,
00:00:32.240 she had one interchange with a...
00:00:34.300 What clip was the most disturbing for you?
00:00:37.000 And what clip, Vinny, was the one that was most impressive for you on her behalf?
00:00:41.260 The clips that I saw of her calling them out on their BS
00:00:45.080 and all their relationships and Jamie Raskin's connection
00:00:47.520 and Hakeem Jeffries, who, talking all this trash,
00:00:50.760 he was begging for campaign funds from Epstein
00:00:54.540 after he was already caught being a pedophile.
00:00:57.340 And just, Pat, if you don't mind, just really fast,
00:00:59.080 just 20 seconds.
00:01:00.980 Adam, we were worried about the border.
00:01:02.700 We were worried about the economy and everything
00:01:03.780 because it was all messed up.
00:01:05.460 Trump fixed it, and now that it's fixed,
00:01:08.040 everybody's back to number one being Epstein.
00:01:10.020 That's the whole...
00:01:10.700 Go to Crockett.
00:01:12.320 Go to Crockett.
00:01:13.600 Go to Crockett, Rob.
00:01:14.680 This is one of them that Vinny was talking about.
00:01:16.820 Yeah, right there.
00:01:17.540 Watch this here.
00:01:18.180 This is the ending, I'm assuming.
00:01:19.320 This is the one I sent you.
00:01:20.380 Okay, go for it.
00:01:22.140 Go back, Rob.
00:01:23.200 Go back.
00:01:23.560 Convicted, homicide, arson, weapon offense.
00:01:30.060 Convicted, so what are we talking about?
00:01:31.980 Convict some of these perpetrators
00:01:34.080 that raped these women that are sitting behind you
00:01:36.760 that you refuse to even acknowledge they are here.
00:01:40.760 Time belongs to the gentleman from Kansas.
00:01:42.740 Mr. Chairman, can I have a few seconds back?
00:01:45.080 Texas, from Cuba.
00:01:46.940 Tom, how about yourself?
00:01:48.020 Convicted, homicide, arson.
00:01:48.560 What was the clip for you where you said,
00:01:50.080 you know, that was to cause to give a two?
00:01:54.040 I hated the whole segment between her and Massey getting into it.
00:01:57.780 Okay, got it.
00:01:58.720 That was just...
00:01:59.440 Wexner, why didn't you?
00:02:00.900 I made you.
00:02:01.980 Yeah.
00:02:02.780 That whole part?
00:02:03.640 Yeah.
00:02:04.020 Yeah.
00:02:04.340 It's like, and by the way, they're on the same team.
00:02:06.740 They're wearing the same jersey under all this.
00:02:08.640 I don't know if they're on the same team.
00:02:09.500 No.
00:02:09.800 No, hang on.
00:02:10.440 They're supposed to be wearing the same team.
00:02:12.680 We have midterms coming up.
00:02:14.260 We had a lot of things going on.
00:02:15.860 And Thomas Massey on the Republican side has kind of become like a, you know, a Joe Lieberman
00:02:23.500 kind of in the middle, kind of a wild card.
00:02:27.120 And I just didn't like that.
00:02:28.940 I just didn't like it at all.
00:02:30.680 I thought it was a bad look.
00:02:31.780 I didn't think it was a good answer.
00:02:33.160 And I thought, I mean, they really got into it.
00:02:34.940 It just, she didn't look poised.
00:02:37.460 Didn't look like an attorney general, you know, on top of her facts and everything.
00:02:41.860 And I was disappointed.
00:02:43.160 I was really disappointed.
00:02:44.540 I didn't want to see this.
00:02:46.220 Got it.
00:02:46.740 Makes sense, Rob.
00:02:47.260 Play the clip.
00:02:49.020 Respond, and then the gentleman can move to his next question.
00:02:51.000 Chairman, it's my time.
00:02:51.220 Within 40 minutes, you asked me a question.
00:02:54.140 You can give me.
00:02:54.720 Within 40 minutes, Wexner's name was added back.
00:02:57.840 Within 40 minutes of me catching you red-handed.
00:03:00.840 Red-handed, there was one redaction out of over 4,700.
00:03:04.840 Where he's listed as a co-conspirator.
00:03:06.760 And we invited you in.
00:03:09.180 This guy has Trump derangement syndrome.
00:03:11.660 He needs to get, you're a failed politician.
00:03:13.760 I want you to watch.
00:03:15.580 Right there.
00:03:16.080 Chairman, please restore his time and remind the witness of the rules here.
00:03:19.140 There is no credible information.
00:03:21.760 None.
00:03:23.300 Got it.
00:03:24.160 Well, I mean, listen.
00:03:25.560 It is, I couldn't find a reason to celebrate it.
00:03:29.780 Rob, can you pull up the tweet on what I posted yesterday about what certain things we become
00:03:34.340 united on?
00:03:35.160 My opinion.
00:03:37.200 So, if you go to the third one.
00:03:39.460 Yeah, right there.
00:03:40.400 The Epstein files have become the biggest black guy to the administration.
00:03:42.960 There are few issues that unite Americans across politics, religion, and income levels.
00:03:46.980 Protecting kids is one of them.
00:03:48.580 The last three administrations failed to address it.
00:03:50.700 This was an opportunity to finally confront it head on.
00:03:53.720 The attack, deny, and never apologize playbook doesn't work when children are involved.
00:03:58.620 Yes, there's a lot to celebrate.
00:03:59.960 Murder down 20%.
00:04:00.920 Border more secure.
00:04:02.560 America projecting strength.
00:04:04.980 Markets performing well.
00:04:06.220 But none of that matters to parents if kids aren't protected.
00:04:09.320 It's also true.
00:04:10.520 Many on the left are more focused on taking out Trump than protecting children.
00:04:14.780 Otherwise, this would have been a priority years ago.
00:04:17.320 Still, this has been badly mishandled when it comes to kids.
00:04:20.120 Transparency and accountability are an optional major fumble.
00:04:23.140 No other way to say it.
00:04:24.420 By the way, did you guys see the clip of Epstein's butler?
00:04:29.860 The camera.
00:04:30.800 And by the way, I just had Rob right now.
00:04:33.180 Fact check it before we show it.
00:04:34.480 This is a real clip.
00:04:35.820 Okay?
00:04:36.580 So, watch this, Rob.
00:04:37.980 If you can play this clip, a little disturbing when you watch this.
00:04:41.560 What is it?
00:04:42.040 Do you know which one I'm talking about?
00:04:43.060 I saw it.
00:04:43.520 I just randomly saw.
00:04:44.440 This is the butler.
00:04:45.800 Watch this.
00:04:46.520 Go ahead.
00:04:47.580 If you hire somebody, I will be fired in a second.
00:04:50.920 The factory computers.
00:04:52.300 Let's talk about this.
00:04:53.060 Yeah.
00:04:53.300 Did you ever see all those computers?
00:04:55.500 Yeah.
00:04:56.680 The edges of burls.
00:04:58.000 Exactly.
00:04:58.500 I saw it.
00:04:59.320 You saw?
00:04:59.960 Remember I told you there was a...
00:05:02.140 Islay Maxwell had an office under the stairs next to the kitchen.
00:05:06.980 The stairs, the computer who was a radiator with water.
00:05:10.720 First time in my life I saw that to keep it cool because they used to download pictures like this.
00:05:15.540 Just like that.
00:05:16.060 What kind of pictures?
00:05:17.340 Naked.
00:05:18.020 Naked girls.
00:05:18.980 From Sweden, from Romania, from Czechoslovakia, from Brazil, from...
00:05:23.280 All minors?
00:05:24.280 All young girls?
00:05:25.200 Very young.
00:05:26.080 Very young.
00:05:26.680 But when you say very young, how young are you talking about?
00:05:28.520 16, 17.
00:05:30.820 The teenagers, they have braces most of them.
00:05:33.160 Younger than that though?
00:05:34.440 Yeah.
00:05:35.040 Yeah.
00:05:35.220 Okay.
00:05:37.080 And this guy from Citrix, he erased all those images.
00:05:40.500 I assume.
00:05:41.320 I'm assuming.
00:05:42.440 Yeah.
00:05:43.000 Because were you there?
00:05:44.440 If you had somebody...
00:05:45.940 Yeah.
00:05:46.160 These are the people he's talking...
00:05:47.080 And then he died on the...
00:05:48.080 2014.
00:05:49.220 Yeah.
00:05:49.480 He died 2014.
00:05:50.640 But he died because of cancer.
00:05:52.380 That's what he died for.
00:05:53.180 I don't want to put it like he died from anything else.
00:05:55.660 Anyways, by the way, here's the question I ask Alex.
00:05:58.720 I'm going to ask you, Vinny.
00:05:59.420 Yeah.
00:05:59.820 How much longer do you think this story is going to last?
00:06:05.020 Epstein.
00:06:05.780 They got...
00:06:07.140 President Trump's not been president for how long?
00:06:09.080 13 months?
00:06:09.760 You're in a couple months.
00:06:11.180 You're in...
00:06:11.420 Is it 13 months?
00:06:12.260 13 months, right?
00:06:13.400 Less than 13 months.
00:06:15.200 Yeah.
00:06:15.420 Less than 13 months.
00:06:17.220 He's got three more years left.
00:06:19.120 How much longer will this be a story?
00:06:22.540 How much longer?
00:06:24.060 We know how much longer he wants it to be a story.
00:06:27.360 You know, he's talking about it yesterday and...
00:06:29.820 Trump says, why do you...
00:06:31.180 I don't even understand why people care about Epstein.
00:06:33.740 And Lutnick is in the back laughing.
00:06:36.560 Do you see that clip?
00:06:37.840 Is this it, Rob?
00:06:38.620 This is President Trump being asked about Lutnick's involvement in the Epstein House.
00:06:43.040 Were you aware that Secretary of Commerce visited Epstein's island?
00:06:47.020 And do you continue to have to...
00:06:47.840 No, I wasn't aware of it.
00:06:48.980 No, I didn't.
00:06:50.000 I actually haven't spoken to him about it.
00:06:51.780 I wasn't.
00:06:52.300 But from what I hear, he was there with his wife and children.
00:06:55.540 And I guess in some cases, some people were.
00:06:58.660 I wasn't.
00:06:59.340 I was never there.
00:07:01.020 Somebody will someday say that.
00:07:03.060 I was never there.
00:07:03.920 You notice how much he goes back to, I was never there.
00:07:07.140 He always goes back to, I was never there.
00:07:08.940 I think the part of it here, you know, when the audience watches, there's things you can
00:07:14.760 laugh at.
00:07:15.940 There's things you can laugh off.
00:07:17.880 You know what I'm saying?
00:07:19.000 There's certain things you cannot laugh off.
00:07:20.860 You know, like even if we do a story and, you know, I'm doing a story and we're joking
00:07:27.080 about certain stories.
00:07:28.480 Certain stories you can't even joke about.
00:07:30.580 You know what I'm saying?
00:07:31.780 So here, I think this is it, Rob, if you want to play.
00:07:34.200 Yeah, watch this.
00:07:35.000 Is he posting some kind of gathering of top advisors this evening to talk about how to
00:07:40.860 respond to the Epstein situation?
00:07:42.620 I don't know.
00:07:43.240 I could ask you that question.
00:07:45.280 I don't know of it.
00:07:46.560 But I think fake news, want to keep something like that going.
00:07:49.940 But credible information.
00:07:51.560 Listen, I don't know, guys.
00:07:56.600 You know, we're fans of Lutnick.
00:07:59.300 Big time.
00:07:59.800 We're fans of, you know, the work that he does.
00:08:02.640 But what do you look for when you play poker against somebody for six hours?
00:08:07.140 You look for what?
00:08:08.200 A towel.
00:08:09.480 Maybe laughing is his towel.
00:08:11.760 And maybe he's got, you know, I don't know.
00:08:14.300 Do you understand what I'm saying?
00:08:15.080 A thousand percent.
00:08:16.200 And by the way, again, I've always said that I'm one of his biggest fans because of what
00:08:20.320 he's doing and the way that he addresses the camera and stuff.
00:08:22.780 But if we're going to be honest, he sat in front of that interview, podcast, whatever
00:08:26.320 you want to call it.
00:08:27.160 And he's like, no.
00:08:28.360 He invited us to his house in Manhattan.
00:08:30.260 We walked in.
00:08:30.920 We saw the massage chair.
00:08:31.780 And I was like, ugh.
00:08:32.400 And that was it.
00:08:33.760 Now we find out because of the files, you took your wife and your kids to the island?
00:08:39.820 Like, this is the clip, right, Rob?
00:08:41.520 Yes.
00:08:42.900 You played this one?
00:08:43.560 And we left.
00:08:45.740 We left.
00:08:46.200 And in the six or eight steps it takes to get from his house to my house, my wife and
00:08:52.440 I decided that I will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again.
00:09:00.120 So I was never in the room with him socially, for business.
00:09:05.740 Okay, Rob, you can stop it.
00:09:07.100 And then, guys, and let's just call a spade a spade.
00:09:10.260 Then you come out and you say that you took your wife.
00:09:13.800 And here's my thing.
00:09:15.220 After someone's been convicted of being a disgusting, underage, whatever you want to call it, you're
00:09:21.340 going to take your wife and kids and fly them to the belly of the piece.
00:09:24.280 The deal.
00:09:24.780 After the deal.
00:09:25.580 After the, oh, sorry.
00:09:26.680 The plea deal.
00:09:27.340 After the deal.
00:09:27.800 The plea deal.
00:09:28.840 What are we talking about?
00:09:30.340 So they're lying.
00:09:31.120 So to answer your question, Pat, I don't see this thing going away until actual people
00:09:35.800 go to prison.
00:09:37.100 Because people like me, I'm going to let you talk, Adam.
00:09:39.300 And people like me, and I've said this, I want to say 50 times here, let justice be
00:09:44.140 done, though the heavens fall.
00:09:45.920 You don't see it like that because of the institutions, and I get that.
00:09:48.980 But let me ask you this question, Adam.
00:09:50.680 You think God, you think Jesus Christ is cool, and if he was here right now, and he's like,
00:09:55.680 oh, they're using it as leverage?
00:09:57.220 Oh, the rape and probably murder and cannibalism with kids?
00:09:59.540 Yeah, yeah.
00:10:00.220 Use it as leverage so this other country, we don't go bankrupt.
00:10:03.100 You think Jesus Christ would be cool with leverage for pedophilia and murder?
00:10:08.120 Nah, I'm sorry, bro.
00:10:09.340 That's not what my religion is about.
00:10:11.640 That's not what God and Christ is about.
00:10:13.400 I want people to go to prison.
00:10:15.860 We just saw, Pat, who's the Golden Sacks lawyer?
00:10:18.580 She just stepped down yesterday.
00:10:20.780 They're all connected.
00:10:22.400 The banks, the presidents, the billionaires, the millionaires, Bernie Sanders, they're all
00:10:27.560 of them, all of them, and the light is coming out.
00:10:30.060 This disgusting darkness, God is shining a light, and I don't think it's going to go
00:10:34.240 away, Pat.
00:10:34.680 I think it's going to go, it's going to keep going.
00:10:36.400 These kind of things, everything has to be out.
00:10:39.220 Go back and look at history books.
00:10:40.860 I think it's going to go three years.
00:10:42.120 Look, 1972, 1973, Watergate, until all of the men had been tried, and Liddy was in prison,
00:10:51.020 Colson was in prison, Archibald Cox closed the books, all the tapes were out there, books
00:10:56.140 were published that transcribed the tapes, and then, and only then, was Watergate done.
00:11:01.120 We knew about Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist, we knew about the break-in, we knew about the
00:11:05.220 clumsy Cubans that broke in to the Watergate Hotel, we knew everything.
00:11:08.760 It was all out there, it was over and done, and then Gerald Ford lost the election, and
00:11:14.440 Jimmy Carter's chapter began.
00:11:16.060 But it took three years, and that was just Watergate, Pat, but everything had to get out.
00:11:21.320 Right, but Tom, Trump knows this.
00:11:23.900 Trump has to know this.
00:11:24.900 Like, you know, you'll test to make a story go away.
00:11:28.520 It hasn't gone away.
00:11:30.040 What are you doing now?
00:11:31.700 What are you doing now?
00:11:32.580 Three million more, the news media, everybody interested is saying, the other three million
00:11:37.780 docs.
00:11:38.220 A new Faith Over Fear hat is coming soon to a theater near you, but I just wanted to, this
00:11:43.260 morning I was listening to Billy Graham, which Pat, you told me to listen to him.
00:11:46.980 You're like, you know, Vinny, dive in and listen to him.
00:11:48.700 So I'm getting ready in the morning, I'm just listening to Billy Graham, and he said something
00:11:51.740 that I hadn't heard in a while, and it was the Apostle Thomas.
00:11:55.760 When Jesus rose from the dead, Thomas wasn't there to see the resurrection.
00:12:00.200 So Thomas goes, I'll believe that he rose if I get to put my hands in his wounds and in
00:12:04.800 his side.
00:12:05.360 So then he finally sees Jesus, and he goes in there, he goes, God, Thomas, God, put your
00:12:09.040 hands in here.
00:12:09.860 And Jesus looks at him, he goes, because you have seen me, you believe.
00:12:13.440 Blessed of those who haven't seen me and still believe it.
00:12:16.640 In that moment, Tom, it hit me.
00:12:18.060 He's talking about us, okay?
00:12:19.820 We weren't there.
00:12:20.660 We didn't see Jesus walk.
00:12:21.700 We didn't see him die.
00:12:22.380 We didn't see him rise from the dead, but we believe, and that is faith in real time.
00:12:27.700 And he's talking about us.
00:12:28.660 And the last one, you mentioned the story about the Nigeria that we're sending 200 troops.
00:12:33.260 Trump is sending 200 troops.
00:12:34.460 They're saying they're not going to do anything crazy.
00:12:36.000 But think about that.
00:12:37.320 Think about the priests.
00:12:38.080 Think about the parishioners in those churches that were bombed and murdered and slaughtered.
00:12:42.260 And they were in that church praying and saying, please help.
00:12:45.920 That is faith over fear in real time.
00:12:48.780 And that's what we're about.
00:12:49.820 And that's what the brand is about.
00:12:50.900 And I can't tell you how many people see me with the shirt, because the shirt's on the
00:12:54.200 back, and just tap me on the back and go, I'm with you.
00:12:56.540 Or they see this hat and they go, where can I get that hat?
