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
