Pam Bondi’s Tumultuous Tenure as Trump's Attorney General | The Daily Show
The Daily Show
0:06 If you've ever dreamed of being an attorney general,
0:08 update your resume because they have an opening.
0:12 Major breaking news.
0:13 President-elect Donald Trump's pick for attorney general is out.
0:16 Matt Gates says he is withdrawing his name from consideration.
0:20 Trump from himself has put out a statement.
0:22 Matt has a wonderful future and I look forward
0:24 to watching all of the great things that he will do.
0:31 Oh, you want to watch all the great things Matt Gates will do?
0:35 Might I suggest downloading the Citizens app?
0:39 But yes, this this was a shocking announcement from the Trump team.
0:45 And as you can say, no one was more surprised than Matt Gates.
0:52 What a week Gates has had.
0:53 He resigned from Congress.
0:55 Everyone talked non-stop about how he's a sex criminal and a pedophile
0:59 and now he doesn't even get to be attorney general.
1:01 This guy is so hard that he had to Venmo himself 10 grand.
1:13 Trump hasn't been firing administration officials
1:16 all that much because partly most
1:18 of them have really learned a lesson about staying on his good side.
1:22 Let me show you how bad it can get.
1:23 3 days ago, Pam Bondi was on Fox News
1:26 making an outrageous claim about Trump's success stopping fentanyl deaths.
1:31 Since Donald Trump has been in office,
1:33 DEA has seized over 21 million fentanyl pills taken.
1:38 That's 21 million lives saved in my opinion.
1:42 21 million people.
1:44 21 million people.
1:45 Just for context, 70,000 people die from fentanyl in an entire year.
1:51 But we're supposed to believe that in 3 months,
1:54 Trump prevented 21 million fentinol deaths.
1:58 I guess a lot more people were planning to try flentinol this year, huh?
2:03 Were you guys?
2:03 Cuz if everyone's do it, I'll do it.
2:05 I'm not a All right.
2:10 This audience is pro fentanyl.
2:12 Now, to be fair to Bondie,
2:14 she must have realized these numbers were way off because 2 days later,
2:17 she corrected herself.
2:19 Since he's been in office,
2:20 DEA has taken 22.2 million fentanyl pills off the streets.
2:28 This is 119 million lives Donald Trump has saved since January.
2:35 Pretty remarkable.
2:37 Oh my god.
2:39 119 million.
2:42 He saved 100 more million lives in two days.
2:48 WOW.
2:52 Keep in mind, keep in mind the entire
2:55 population of the United States is 340 million.
2:59 So, she's crediting Trump with saving the lives
3:01 of a third of the entire country.
3:04 Pam, what are you talking about?
3:06 Are you on the fence?
3:07 because you signed high.
3:09 You sound high as right now.
3:11 Okay.
3:13 All right.
3:14 But you know what?
3:16 Bondie sobered up.
3:16 She checked her math and she realized something
3:18 was off again because during Trump's cabinet meeting yesterday,
3:22 she came back and corrected herself one more time.
3:25 President Trump, your DOJ agencies have
3:28 seized more than 22 million fentanyl pills,
3:33 which saved, are you ready for this media?
3:35 258 million lives.
3:40 258.
3:44 258 million lives.
3:46 What is happening here?
3:49 At the rate Trump is saving lives.
3:51 Death will cease to exist by August.
3:54 Man, you got to love the way she turns to the camera like,
3:58 "Are you ready for this media?" No.
4:01 No.
4:01 We know we weren't ready for that.
4:03 We were not ready.
4:04 There is no way anybody could ever have been
4:06 ready for the number you were about to say.
4:10 Even JD Vance wasn't ready.
4:13 Look at his face when he hears her say that Are you ready for this media?
4:18 258 million lives.
4:21 Kids are dying every day.
4:27 I I've never seen a man blink.
4:28 What the is this woman talking about?
4:32 But of course he knows it's He went to Yale, right?
4:35 It's it's no Harlem University.
4:37 But they know math.
4:41 The point is the point is by the time we're done with the next 100 days,
4:45 Trump will have saved and and are you ready for this media?
4:49 347 bajillion lives, which if you ask ME YEAH.
5:00 340 bajillion lives, which if you ask me is too many lies.
5:06 Donald Trump doesn't see any of these business conflicts as a problem.
5:10 In fact, if anything, he's taking conflicts to a to a new height
5:15 as as in heights like like like the sky.
5:18 We turn to the uproar over the $400
5:20 million gift from the government of Qatar tonight.
5:23 A luxury 747 jumbo jet to be used
5:26 as Air Force One until the end of Trump's term.
5:29 when the White House says it would
5:30 be decommissioned and donated to the Trump Library.
5:35 Yeah.
5:35 Yeah.
5:35 You know, I I think we could stop pretending
5:37 that this airplane is going to be transferred to his presidential library.
5:41 This is like the news reporting your aunt
5:43 is bringing her good friend Linda to Thanksgiving.
5:49 They're cooter people.
5:50 That's what's happening.
5:51 Okay.
5:53 Look now.
5:53 Apart from being a security concern and a potential bribe,
5:58 it seems clearly unconstitutional to give the president a gift like this.
6:02 But you know what?
6:03 What do I know?
6:04 Attorney General Pam Bondi, what say you?
6:07 Attorney General Pam Bondi says the gift is quote legally permissible
6:11 and not a bribe because Trump isn't giving Cutter anything in return.
6:16 Well, there you there you have it.
6:18 Right.
6:19 her hasn't given them anything and it's been like 36 hours.
6:24 You know, I I trust her.
6:25 She's the attorney general.
6:27 You know, just just a quick fact check.
6:29 What did she do before she was the attorney general?
6:33 We should point out that Bondi previously worked
6:35 as a foreign lobbyist for the nation ofQatar, earning about $115,000 a month.
6:42 Right.
6:43 Right.
6:43 You know, it looks bad, but if you have to understand,
6:46 that's that's a lot of money.
6:48 And money feels good to have and to spend.
6:51 So now I get it.
6:56 Let's move on to the last bipartisan issue in America.
7:01 What happened to Jeffrey Epstein?
7:04 We've all been waiting for years for more details
7:06 to come out about his crimes and his mysterious death.
7:08 And now that Trump's in office and he said he'll release that information,
7:12 we can finally get some answers.
7:15 The DOJ says its case closed on Jeffrey
7:18 Epstein's alleged client list and his death.
7:21 After months of promising the public release of the Jeffrey Epstein client list,
7:25 the Justice Department, the FBI now saying the client list doesn't exist.
7:29 The DOJ says it will not be releasing any more material from the case files.
7:33 What?
7:33 That that's it?
7:35 You're just not going to release any more information?
7:38 I I've never been ghosted by a conspiracy before.
7:43 I mean, this is crazy.
7:44 I I could have sworn that someone said there was an Epstein client list.
7:49 Who was that?
7:51 The DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients.
7:55 Will that really happen?
7:57 It's sitting on my desk right now to review.
8:01 Oh yeah, the attorney general of the United
8:03 States said the client list was on her desk.
8:07 Let me guess, your desk also hung itself.
8:12 Pam Bond, you were supposed to release the pedophile list.
8:14 If we wanted an attorney general to cover up sex crimes,
8:17 we would have stuck with Matt Gates.
8:18 Okay, at this point, it's like the only way we can learn about who is
8:22 a certified pedophile is if Kendrick Lamar makes a song about them.
8:27 Look, I don't know what to believe anymore.
8:29 Okay, can can you just declassify something?
8:32 The Justice Department also releasing more than 10 hours of purported footage,
8:37 which they say supports the medical examiner's finding
8:40 Epstein died by suicide while in custody in 2019.
8:45 The video allegedly shows the view from across
8:48 Epstein's cell door in a Manhattan prison,
8:51 indicating no one entered the area the night he died.
8:55 Is that background music to that?
9:00 Finally, some transparency from this administration.
9:03 Conclusive evidence that leaves no room for debate.
9:07 The release of that surveillance video has fueled some conspiracies itself.
9:11 There appears to be a missing minute at midnight.
9:14 It's very interesting that at the 11:58 mark and 58 second,
9:18 the video jumps to 12:00 and it's missing a full 61 seconds.
9:23 What is GOING ON HERE?
9:27 WHY WOULD THEY EDIT out 61 seconds?
9:30 Was Epstein listening to a Beatle song
9:32 and the government couldn't get the rights to it?
9:36 And if that wasn't suspicious enough,
9:37 when Trump was asked about it in his cabinet meeting today, he was over it.
9:42 Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?
9:45 This guy's been talked about for years.
9:47 Are people still talking about this guy, this creep?
9:51 That is unbelievable.
9:54 Yeah.
9:54 Why are you guys obsessed with the suspicious
9:56 death of my best friend in a federal prison when I was president right before he
9:59 was going to be on Trump for sex trafficking?
10:02 It's so boring.
10:09 The impetus for Elmo's rant seems to be
10:11 the Department of Justice memo that has just been released
10:14 that said the Epstein sex trafficking case was officially
10:16 closed and that no new information would be forthcoming.
10:19 And while Elmo is demanding that the files be released,
10:26 Donald Trump's response is brought to you by the letters FU.
10:29 You still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?
10:32 This guy's been talked about for years.
10:34 Are people still talking about this guy?
10:36 This creep.
10:38 That is unbelievable.
10:43 Unbelievable.
10:42 You guys ran on it.
10:44 Remember this?
10:45 We need to release the Epstein list.
10:47 That That is an important thing.
10:48 This Epstein sex ring operation, I'm not letting it go ever.
10:53 ever put on your big boy pants and let us know who the pedophiles are.
11:04 Why would you have to change your pants to let us know who the pedophiles are?
11:12 And why wouldn't you be wearing pants while you're researching this?
11:16 And that was before the Trump administration took power.
11:19 And by the way, they were still hyping the Epstein files after they took power.
11:25 We have uh flight logs.
11:26 We have information names uh that will come out.
11:29 President Trump has given a very strong
11:31 directive and that's going to be followed.
11:33 So people can expect actual movement on this.
11:34 It's not just empty promises.
11:36 Oh, Donald Trump doesn't make empty promises.
11:38 Yeah.
11:38 Right.
11:46 two of his wives and 10,000 unpaid contractors disagree.
11:53 But these are all these are all people
11:57 who work for Trump that set the expectation.
12:01 And I think because of that, surprisingly,
12:03 MAGA World for the first time in memory
12:05 isn't just slavishly acquiescing to Trump's reality distortion field.
12:11 Where did that whole case go?
12:12 Where did all the files go?
12:14 They just went nowhere.
12:15 No one even believes that.
12:17 This stinks.
12:18 This This just reeks.
12:20 Something is horribly wrong here.
12:22 Pam Bondi needs to be fired.
12:25 Yes, Pam Bondi, the ring leader.
12:32 She makes the decisions.
12:34 The backlash wouldn't die.
12:37 So Trump had to go back out and kill the backlash,
12:43 perhaps even making it look like a suicide.
12:50 So So this weekend, you heard him, Jim.
13:04 This It's outrageous.
13:08 So this weekend, Trump tried to reason
13:11 with his base using their shared love language,
13:14 long rambling truth social posts.
13:16 In a social media post, the president asked his followers,
13:19 "What's going on with my boys?" And in some cases, gals,
13:23 let me stop you right there.
13:26 Not to be all woke, but I believe they prefer the terms bros and hoes.
13:33 It's all right.
13:33 Go on.
13:34 You were explaining why it was time to move on from the Epstein case.
13:37 Why are we giving publicity to files written by Obama,
13:41 crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan,
13:43 and the losers and criminals of the Biden administration
13:46 who conned the world with the Russia Russia Russia hoax,
13:49 51 intelligence agents, the laptop from hell, and more.
13:59 So just to understand this, in a few
14:02 months time we went from the Epstein files will
14:05 expose the Democrats to the Epstein files were
14:09 written by the Democrats and therefore can't be trusted.
14:13 So let's move on.
14:14 And then Trump brings up Hunter Biden's laptop as a reminder
14:19 for all of us not to dwell on old conspiracy theories.
14:25 WHAT?
14:36 As the temperature rises on the unanswered
14:38 questions about Donald Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein,
14:40 the Trump administration was forced to respond.
14:44 Breaking news.
14:44 Moments ago, the director of national intelligence,
14:47 Telsey Gabbard, releasing the 230,000 files.
14:52 Oh my god.
14:53 That's from this afternoon.
14:54 It worked.
14:56 The incessant public pressure, mainly from, I'll give credit,
15:00 the MAGA base, has finally forced Trump's hand.
15:05 Let's hear what's in those files.
15:08 230,000 files related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
15:16 Epstein killed Martin Luther King Jr.
15:23 What the Why are you releasing that?
15:27 Who?
15:28 What?
15:30 All right.
15:30 Obviously, those are different files.
15:33 Anything else?
15:34 This happened today.
15:35 Uh AG Bondi released files.
15:40 Yes, this is all happening today.
15:41 What's in those files?
15:43 related to the FBI's handling of the investigation
15:45 into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.
15:52 Oh, good.
15:54 Finally, we'll get to know the truth about Hillary's private
15:57 email island as the Epstein missile heads towards the fuselage.
16:03 Look at Trump firing off countermeasures from Air
16:05 Force One like Rooster and Maverick and Top Gun.
16:10 MAVERICK, SIR, WE GOT A BOGEY AT 5:00.
16:13 HILLARY CLINTON'S EMAILS.
16:16 THEY'RE STILL CLOSING, SIR.
16:19 MARTIN LUTHER KING'S FILES.
16:23 OH.
16:24 OH, WE'RE SIR, WE'RE OUT OF FILES.
16:25 SURELY IT'S CURTAINS.
16:27 WAIT, I've still got one more trick up me sleeve.
16:32 Boys, it's been an honor serving with you.
16:37 Here we go.
16:39 Trump threatens to restrict the stadium deal with the Washington
16:42 Commanders if they don't change their name back to the Redskins.
16:47 Are you kidding me?
16:50 You know, they always say liberals are condescending to MAGA.
16:53 I cannot think of anything more condescending than the way Trump treats MAGA.
16:59 Oh, you want to know more about how
17:01 the super rich are trafficking underage girls with impunity?
17:06 Hm.
17:07 Uh, would you still want to know if I
17:10 let you use an outdated slur for Native Americans?
17:16 I guess in Trump's mind, he doesn't have to keep his promises to MAGA as long
17:19 as he continues to attack the people that MAGA hates.
17:23 That's his get out of jail free card.
17:28 Brand new bombshell reporting from the Wall Street Journal.
17:31 The Wall Street Journal reporting that US
17:33 Attorney General Pam Bondi told President
17:35 Trump back in May that his name appears multiple times in the Epstein files.
17:43 You're best friends.
17:46 You're best friends with a pedophile for 10 years.
17:48 One time and the world never forgets it.
17:53 But yeah, this whole time Trump already knew he was in the Epstein files,
17:56 which is a good reminder that if someone's acting guilty,
17:58 they're probably guilty.
18:00 No one's ever going to be like, "Don't look at my browser history.
18:03 You'll see all the charities I volunteer
18:05 for." But the good news for Trump is this is America.
18:13 We don't read.
18:17 As long as there's no video coming out, he should be a-ok.
18:21 Okay.
18:22 CNN exclusive.
18:22 Newly uncovered photos and video offers a new
18:25 look at President Trump's past ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
18:27 Here you see the two the opening of the Harley-Davidson Cafe.
18:31 Uh months later, some new photos reveal Epste walking
18:33 into the Plaza Hotel to attend Donald Trump's wedding to Mara Maples.
18:37 There's also what was found in this review
18:39 of archival footage from a 1999 Victoria Secret fashion show,
18:42 which reveals, as you see, the two men chatting,
18:45 laughing with one another on the sidelines of that event.
18:51 It's getting to the point where it's harder and harder
18:53 to find a photo of Donald Trump without Jeffrey Epstein.
18:58 As Donald Trump, your only hope is to be like,
19:00 "Hey, I take pictures with lots of people." All right.
19:04 I'm in pictures with OJ Denny.
19:09 I'm in I'm in pictures with Harvey Weinstein.
19:20 That's not helping.
19:21 I'M GOING TO STOP.
19:24 And they're not just in the video.
19:26 Look at the chemistry they have.
19:28 And this is genuinely unfortunate and unfair to Trump,
19:31 but the way the camera highlighted the two of them
19:34 makes it look like a giant heart on a kiss cam.
19:40 What makes me feel terrible is I don't have a friend
19:43 that I'm as close with as Trump was to Epstein.
19:46 You know, they're making drawings for each other,
19:49 laughing, showing up to weddings, going to shows together.
19:52 The only way my friends hang out with me
19:54 that much is if we're both holding Xbox controllers.
19:59 The point is CNN found all this new
20:01 footage and Trump didn't really appreciate it.
20:04 You actually called President Trump directly to to ask him about this story.
20:10 Yeah, we weren't on the phone very long.
20:11 It only lasted about 30 seconds.
20:12 But when I got him on the phone, I asked him about the wedding photos.
20:15 He kind of paused uh and then said,
20:17 "You've got to be kidding me." He then uh called CNN and me
20:20 fake news uh a few times and then he hung up the phone.
20:24 Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on.
20:26 You can just call Donald Trump and he'll just pick up the phone himself.
20:34 A president shouldn't be that available.
20:36 You know, this is like pushing the call button
20:38 for the flight attendant and then the pilot comes out.
20:41 Like, it's like, aren't aren't you supposed to be busy?
20:46 like if if you're here then who's who's in the cockpit?
20:51 I think this just shows how lonely Trump is.
20:53 He's answering the phone because he just wants someone to talk to.
20:57 It's kind of sad because remember his best friend died in prison back in 2019.
21:10 Pam Bondi reportedly warned Trump back in May
21:13 that his name was in the files multiple times
21:16 and it just so happens her next appearance was
21:18 scheduled last night at a summit against human trafficking.
21:21 Pam, show us what you got.
21:23 I do have a note from the attorney general
21:26 from Attorney General Pam Bondi that I wanted to share.
21:29 I'm sorry to miss all of my CPAC friends today.
21:31 Unfortunately, I am recovering from a recently torn
21:34 cornea which is preventing me from being with you.
21:38 Damn.
21:38 Uh, even Pam Bondi's cornea is like release the Epstein files or I quit.
21:46 I don't even understand this.
21:48 Like, like why does her cornea mean she can't talk?
21:54 Like I don't know a lot about women's bodies and this is
21:58 embarrassing to ask but is the cornea in the throat?
22:03 Like the only member of the Trump administration that I
22:06 would believe has an eye injury is FBI director Cash Patel.
22:17 Our attorney general is in so deep that she doesn't think it's going far enough.
22:21 There's free speech and then there's hate speech.
22:24 And there is no place, especially now,
22:27 especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society.
22:30 We will absolutely target you,
22:33 go after you if you are targeting anyone with hate speech, anything.
22:39 And that's across the aisle.
22:46 First of all, you would think that the attorney general
22:48 would know that hate speech is protected by the First Amendment.
22:55 Even if you're not a big reader, it is the first one.
22:59 Okay?
22:59 You have to read it to get to the one you like.
23:02 Now, honestly, if I went back in time and told the founding
23:05 fathers that this is what would become of the First Amendment,
23:08 they would say, "That's insane.
23:10 And why are you wearing pants, woman?
23:14 To which I would say, why are you wearing a wig?
23:18 Anyway, I'm getting off track.
23:22 I'm getting off track.
23:23 The point is, we need to understand
23:24 that no matter how mad someone makes you online,
23:27 that's not enough to make it illegal.
23:30 That said, if you are going to crack down on hate speech,
23:33 can I request that we start with the YouTube comments under my lasagna recipe?
23:38 My mozzarella portions are not gay.
23:43 Very good.
23:47 Now, I was heartened to see a lot of conservatives
23:50 criticize Pam Bondi for what she said about prosecuting hate speech.
23:53 Unfortunately, one guy thinks she didn't go far enough.
23:57 And what do you think Pam Bondi is saying?
23:58 She's going to go after hate speech.
24:00 Uh, is that I mean, a lot of people,
24:02 a lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech.
24:04 I should probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly.
24:08 It's hate.
24:09 You have a lot of hate in your heart.
24:13 Yikes.
24:13 Someone's ballroom construction is not going well.
24:20 President Trump is publicly putting pressure on the Department
24:23 of Justice and Attorney General Pam Bondi.
24:26 In a post on True Social, the president said,
24:28 "What about Comey, Adam Shifty, Schiff, Leticia?
24:32 They're all guilty as hell." But nothing is going to be done.
24:36 Adding justice must be served.
24:39 YOU POST THAT PUBLICLY,
24:42 so far be it for me to tell you how to run your postjudicial lawfare.
24:49 But do we all have to be copied on this We know.
24:55 We know you and Bondi talk in private.
25:00 Epstein.
25:01 Oh, I'm sorry.
25:14 I have a uh Epstein's file.
25:16 We got cold.
25:21 Now, most people would think a president
25:23 ordering his independent department of justice
25:25 to go after his political opponents is weaponizing the Department of Justice.
25:29 It's why most people don't work in this administration.
25:32 And it is not weaponizing the Department of Justice
25:35 to demand accountability for those who weaponized the Department of Justice.
25:52 Yes, this is lawfare.
25:54 But this law fair is only fair because of how
25:58 he fared under I've run out of road for the metaphor.
26:01 But I think you understand.
26:03 But look, man, if if Leticia James committed a crime,
26:06 she should be held accountable.
26:08 But what if she hadn't committed a crime?
26:11 Trump forced out top federal prosecutor Eric Seabert after his office
26:16 failed to find incriminating evidence against
26:18 New York Attorney General Leticia James.
26:21 He He fired him for not finding evidence.
26:24 Trump is going full devil's wears Prada ON THIS ONE.
26:28 I WANT AN INDICTMENT FOR LETICIA JAMES ON MY DESK OR YOU'RE FIRED.
26:33 But Mr.
26:34 Trump, it's 3:00 in the morning and she DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
26:38 YOU WOKE THERE'S A THOUSAND GIRLS WHO WOULD TAKE
26:42 YOUR PLACE IN A SECOND AND THAT SWEATER IS PEDESTRIAN.
26:49 That's my I've never seen the movie.
26:52 So I if you've seen the movie, you probably go, I don't think that's the movie.
26:58 By the way, uh this Seabert fella was appointed by Trump earlier this year.
27:03 Look, at this point, it's so blatantly an abuse of power and yet
27:07 his defenders continue to reframe this as refreshing.
27:11 He's asking his attorney general in a public
27:13 way to go after his political enemies.
27:17 very open about it.
27:18 You're okay with that?
27:21 Well, I I think what we know is President Trump
27:23 is very open and transparent with the American people and he
27:26 speaks his mind and that's what that's what his supporters
27:28 love about him and that's what America loves about him.
27:31 NO, THAT'S WHAT AMERICA LOVES ABOUT Dolly Parton.
27:36 Transparent, speaks your mind.
27:40 Yet Dolly rarely jails her political enemies.
27:48 It makes sense that Trump is worried,
27:50 especially since he's not going to have people
27:52 like Attorney General Pam Bondi at the pearly
27:55 gates because she's been devoting every second
27:59 getting him out of trouble here on Earth.
28:02 They spent all summer trying to hide any mention of Trump in the Epstein files.
28:06 And when Bondie was asked about that today, she basically told senators,
28:10 "You can go to hell." So,
28:12 who gave the order to flag records related to President Trump?
28:19 To flag records for President Trump.
28:22 To flag any records which included his name.
28:26 I'm not going to discuss anything about that with you.
28:29 Senator, what a tone.
28:33 You know you're caught when you have to repeat
28:36 what you were being accused of back to the person.
28:39 Like just so you have time to think like who's been texting me?
28:44 Who's been texting me all night?
28:47 You You want You want to see tech my text messages?
28:53 You want to You want to see text messages?
28:55 Like a man can't even type anymore.
28:58 This used to be a free country.
29:00 You know, it's like fine.
29:01 Look, see, you'll you'll see.
29:03 I've never gotten a text message in my life.
29:09 President Donald Trump says he's ready to sign
29:11 a bill as soon as it reaches his desk.
29:15 Wait, my god.
29:16 What the hell is happening here?
29:17 Is Trump really going to release Epstein files?
29:20 He's not going to burn them or hide them or put
29:21 them on Baron's head so no one can reach them.
29:25 I I can't believe this.
29:27 Look, there's just no way that this man is
29:29 going to release the Epstein files that he is in.
29:32 I mean, he must have a plan to get out of this.
29:35 We should note the legislation as it stands clearly says, quote,
29:40 "The attorney general may withhold or redact personally
29:43 identifiable information of victims or victims personal and medical
29:48 files and any material that would jeopardize an active
29:52 investigation or national security." Yeah, there we go.
29:56 See, that's how they're going to keep these files secret.
29:59 National security, America's go-to justification.
30:03 It stops us from bringing shampoo on a plane.
30:05 It puts terrorists on bananas.
30:07 And soon it can prevent you from seeing if the president is a pedophile.
30:10 And by the time Pam Bondi is done with these files,
30:13 they'll be more censored than the airplane version of Anora.
30:17 Now, I'm I'm not saying we'll never see the Epstein files.
30:22 I'm not saying we will.
30:23 All I'm saying is we need to find
30:26 other clues that the president inappropriately touches people.
30:34 Pam Bondi has opened a new
30:35 investigation into Epstein's relationships with Democrats.
30:38 And it's not just because Trump ordered
30:40 her to on Twitter for the whole world to see.
30:42 No, that's not why.
30:44 She had a perfectly good explanation
30:46 for that that she's not nervous about at all.
30:49 What changed uh since then that you launched this investigation?
30:53 Information that has come for information.
30:56 Um there's information that new information additional information.
31:05 Perfect answer.
31:07 It was perfect.
31:08 What what what part of information in the infamous do you not understand?
31:18 Today, Congress heard testimony from Pam Bondi,
31:21 attorney general and woman who stresses everyone out at book club,
31:24 but it's not worth uninviting her because that'll become a whole thing.
31:31 Congress had a lot of serious questions
31:33 for her about everything from ICE to Epstein,
31:36 and I'm sure she handled them with the grace
31:38 and maturity we have come to expect from the Trump administration.
31:42 Are you kidding?
31:43 I'm going to answer the question the way I want to answer the question.
31:46 I'm not going to get in the gutter for her theatrics.
31:48 Can I finish, please?
31:49 I'm not being rude, please.
31:51 She doesn't say how much money she took from Reed Hoffman, did you?
31:54 You don't tell me.
31:55 Oh, I did tell you because we saw what you did in the Senate.
31:58 You're a lawyer.
31:58 Not even a lawyer.
32:00 You're a failed politician, hypocrite.
32:02 Shame on you.
32:03 You don't get to reclaim your time.
32:05 Your time is up.
32:06 This is so ridiculous.
32:10 Wow.
32:11 When you could do something like that in Congress,
32:13 but when I do it in a Chili's, I get banned for life.
32:20 To be fair though, you'd be in a bad mood, too,
32:22 if you'd spent the last month redacting images
32:24 of old man generals from the Epstein files, allegedly.
32:29 Now, keep in mind, this is not how these hearings traditionally go.
32:32 The attorney general used to carry some level of seriousness and gravitas.
32:37 It's only recently that they'd spend a congressional hearing acting
32:40 like a bratty senior who got called into the principal's office.
32:44 Suck my dick, Principal Gilbert.
32:45 I already got to ASU.
32:47 You can eat it.
32:50 Now look, look, her performance upset a lot of people
32:54 because they were hoping for justice for Jeffrey Epstein's victims.
32:58 But for Pam Bondi, there's only one victim in all of this.
33:02 Have you apologized to President Trump?
33:04 Have you apologized to President Trump?
33:07 All of you.
33:07 I find it interesting that she keeps going after President Trump,
33:11 the greatest president in American history.
33:13 You sit here and you attack the president and I am not going to have it.
33:18 He is the most transparent president in the nation's history.
33:23 Donald Trump, the Dow, the Dow right now is over the Dow is over $50,000.
33:31 I don't know why you're laughing.
33:33 Hold on.
33:34 Okay, hold on.
33:35 Come.
33:36 You know, if you're going to embarrass yourself on national
33:38 television like that, at least win a bronze medal first.
33:46 Have you no dignity?
33:47 Hey
