Pam Bondi on 0-10, how do you think she performed?
00:00:12.860
She was right in the middle because she was fighting back,
00:00:18.580
and all the other stuff that was happening was bad.
00:00:26.680
And the answer she gave, a couple of the redirections she had,
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,
00:00:57.340
And just, Pat, if you don't mind, just really fast,
00:01:02.700
We were worried about the economy and everything
00:01:14.680
This is one of them that Vinny was talking about.
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.
00:01:54.040
I hated the whole segment between her and Massey getting into it.
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.
00:02:15.860
And Thomas Massey on the Republican side has kind of become like a, you know, a Joe Lieberman
00:02:33.160
And I thought, I mean, they really got into it.
00:02:37.460
Didn't look like an attorney general, you know, on top of her facts and everything.
00:02:49.020
Respond, and then the gentleman can move to his next question.
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.
00:03:16.080
Chairman, please restore his time and remind the witness of the rules here.
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
00:03:40.400
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.
00:03:48.580
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.
00:04:06.220
But none of that matters to parents if kids aren't protected.
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.
00:04:24.420
By the way, did you guys see the clip of Epstein's butler?
00:04:37.980
If you can play this clip, a little disturbing when you watch this.
00:04:47.580
If you hire somebody, I will be fired in a second.
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.
00:05:18.980
From Sweden, from Romania, from Czechoslovakia, from Brazil, from...
00:05:26.680
But when you say very young, how young are you talking about?
00:05:37.080
And this guy from Citrix, he erased all those images.
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.
00:05:59.820
How much longer do you think this story is going to last?
00:06:07.140
President Trump's not been president for how long?
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...
00:06:31.180
I don't even understand why people care about Epstein.
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?
00:06:52.300
But from what I hear, he was there with his wife and children.
00:07:03.920
You notice how much he 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
00:07:20.860
You know, like even if we do a story and, you know, I'm doing a story and we're joking
00:07:31.780
So here, I think this is it, Rob, if you want to play.
00:07:35.000
Is he posting some kind of gathering of top advisors this evening to talk about how to
00:07:46.560
But I think fake news, want to keep something like that going.
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?
00:08:16.200
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
00:08:33.760
Now we find out because of the files, you took your wife and your kids to the island?
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.
00:09:07.100
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.
00:09:15.220
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.
00:09:31.120
So to answer your question, Pat, I don't see this thing going away until actual people
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
00:09:45.920
You don't see it like that because of the institutions, and I get that.
00:09:50.680
You think God, you think Jesus Christ is cool, and if he was here right now, and he's like,
00:09:57.220
Oh, the rape and probably murder and cannibalism with kids?
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?
00:10:15.860
We just saw, Pat, who's the Golden Sacks lawyer?
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
00:10:34.680
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.
00:10:42.120
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
00:11:16.060
But it took three years, and that was just Watergate, Pat, but everything had to get out.
00:11:24.900
Like, you know, you'll test to make a story go away.
00:11:32.580
Three million more, the news media, everybody interested is saying, the other three million
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
00:12:05.360
So then he finally sees Jesus, and he goes in there, he goes, God, Thomas, God, put your
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.
00:12:22.380
We didn't see him rise from the dead, but we believe, and that is faith in real time.
00:12:28.660
And the last one, you mentioned the story about the Nigeria that we're sending 200 troops.
00:12:34.460
They're saying they're not going to do anything crazy.
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.
00:12:50.900
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?
00:13:02.080
We have here my send me, which is Isaiah chapter 6, verse 8 as well.
00:13:06.260
But yeah, just go to vtmerch.com and pick it up.
