  Speaker 4: everyone to see. The big problem now is many Democrats
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: are concerned this could be the biggest political backfire in

  Speaker 4: modern political history, including for Bill Clinton and Hill or
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Clinton the first want to tell you about our friends

• 2:51
  Speaker 4: and make the switch today. It's the forty seven Morning
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Update and it starts right now.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Story number one. It is official.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: US House representatives voted four hundred and twenty seven to
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: one to release the Epstein files and then moved to
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: the Senate where they voted in favor of giving it
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: to the President of the United States of America. And
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: now the President has signed it, releasing what documents we
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: have that many have called the Epstein files. Really they
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: should be called the Epstein Papers. Now this all goes
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: back to when the Democrats decided to actually give a
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: damn about Jeffrey Epstein. They didn't care about the victims,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: but what they did care about was trying to hurt
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: President Donald Trump with the Epstein files. Why because in
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: July of this year, the US Department of Justice and
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: the FBI issued a memo stating that they found no
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: credible evidence that Epstein had a so called client list. Yes,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: there were a lot of names, and there was a
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: lot of paperwork, but there was no actual client list.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: And they also said there was no reason for an
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: investigation against uncharged individuals that would be supported. And that
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: is when Democrats decided to actually act like they cared
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: about Jeffrey Epstein. Again, it wasn't to actually protect victims
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: or get to the bottom of anything. It was to
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: try to imply that Donald Trump was covering up to
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: protect himself. We all know that is a lie, and
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: it's official now because you can read it all you.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Fast forward to September of this year and the push
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: in Congress began to gain traction among Democrats via discharge
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: petition the House to force a vote on releasing Epstein
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: related documents. Notice it wasn't a client list. Then in November,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: the House passed the bill, the Epstein Filed Transparency Act,
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: by a vote of four hundred and twenty seven to one.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: The very next day, November nineteenth, they Senate passed the
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: bill by unanimous consent and they sent it to the
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: President's desk. That is where we are now. President Donald
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Trump has signed the bill into law. Now, under the law,
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: once signed by the President, the DOJ must release two
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: co and publicly in a searchable, downloadable format, the unclassified records,
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: the communications and investigative materials related to Jeffrey Epstein, and
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: to the extent possible declassify and release classified materials within
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: thirty days. Now, what President Trump and the White House
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: have said publicly is this. Trump posted on his platform
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: True Social upon signings saying this, I have just signed
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: the bill to release the Epstein files. He also claimed
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: it encouraged the House Speaker Mike Johnson and the Senate
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Majority Leader John Thune to move the bill, leading to
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: the near unanimous vote, and the White House had also
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: made it clear they expected the President to sign the bill,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: which he has done, even saying to reporters earlier in
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: the day quote, this will be signed. The bill will
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: be signed whenever it gets to the White House. There's
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: also the question of victim protection. The White House and
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: GOP leaders expressed major concerns about protecting victim identities and
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: on going investigations. For instance, Speaker Johnson, while ultimately supporting
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: the bill, said he had hoped for amendments to better
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: protect the victims. Now. President Trump also made it clear
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: about the politics behind all of this. He referred to
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: prior criticism as a democratic hoax, insisting that his administration
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: has nothing to hide and link the matter politically, claiming, quote,
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: all of the friends of Epstein's were Democrats. Now, there's
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: other important issues that you need to understand. There's a
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: scope and limitations. Even though the bill mandates broad disclosure,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: it still allows for reactions or withholding a material that
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: would identify victims, reveal ongoing investigations, or compromise national security
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: or classified information. Now the other question is this, is
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: this maybe one of the biggest political backfire in modern
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: political history for the Democrats who were demanding all of this.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: The answer seems to be yes at this moment. We
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: also know that newly released campaign finance records are now
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: showing that from nineteen ninety to twenty eighteen, Jeffrey Epstein
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: directed about eighty nine percent of his political donations to
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: democratic and progressive causes, with notable individual recipients including Bill Clinton,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Hillary Clinton, and Chuck Schumer. Now this also should be,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: I believe the number one fight for Republicans moving forward.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: We don't need to move on from this. Let me
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: explain why you literally had Democrats in bed politically with
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Jeffrey Epstein at every corner. For example, we had a
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Democratic member of Congress who was caught texting Jeffrey Epstein
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: during hearings, and Republicans voted against censoring her. That is
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: insane and the Democrats should have learned from this mistake.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: This is a cycle, by the way, that keeps happening.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: It's a reason why Republicans keep losing elections because when
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: they have the opportunity to stand up to the radical left,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: many times they don't really do it. And until Republicans
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: grow a backbone and demand more transparency from the Epstein
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: files about what the Democrats are doing, nothing will change.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: And I say it again, this is why so many
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: times Republicans keep losing.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: We don't fight.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: They've never demanded the release of all of Epstein files,
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: even though every shred of evidence points directly I believe
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: to mostly Democrats. You have massive Democratic names that were
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: in bed with Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reed Hoffman,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Stacy Plaskett, Bill Richardson, George Mitchell, Hakeem Jeffries was even
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: asking Jeffrey Epstein for money after he was convicted of
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: sexual crimes Michael Wolfe is another name. All of these
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: names should be what Republicans should now be talking about,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: which brings me the two biggest names that we know
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: about so far that clearly don't want you to know
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: about what they were doing with Jeffrey Eppstein, and that
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: was Bill and Hillary Clinton. Now we know that there's
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: a good chance that Bill and Hillary Clinton are a
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: literally risking prison time over Epstein's silence.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: How do we know that?
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: It's coming from the House Oversight Committee chairman James Comber.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: And Comber said that former President Bill Clinton and former
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton could face criminal exposure related
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: to newly's surface Jeffrey Epstein documents, saying this, we expect
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: to hear from Bill and Hillary Clinton. Comber said Donald
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: Trump answered questions for years about Jeffrey Epstein. Every day
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: he gets asked questions about Epstein and he answers them
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: in front of the American people. We've subpoenaed Republicans and Democrats.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Comber's comments underscore how the looming release of these records
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: related to Epstein, the disgraced financier who died by suicide
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: in jail awaiting sex travecking charges is becoming a flashpoint
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: in national politics, with the Democratic Party now bracing for
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: real fallout. Many in the Democratic Party didn't believe that
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: these documents would ever be made public, and that's why
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: they weaponized him to try to hurt Donald Trump. Now,
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: although there's no direct evidence that the Clintons committed any
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: crimes at this point, suggestions of possible legal exposure inject
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: new tension into an already charged debate over transparency and
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: accountability and the political weaponization of the Epstein files. The
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Justice Department said on Friday that it is now examining
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Epstein's purported connections to high profile Democrats, among them the
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: former President United States of America Bill Clinton, who has
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: repeatedly insisted that he was unaware of Epstein's criminal conduct. Now,
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: as part of the investigation, James Comber issued the subpoenas
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: to the Clintons and eight other individuals that followed the
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: release by Congress last week of more than twenty thousand
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: pages of documents connected to Epstein.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: And now we have a whole lot more now.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: That batch of newly released correspondence included messages involving Bill Clinton,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: Hillary Clinton, and the question now is what will be
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: done with this moving forward. We also know that no
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: survivor or associate has ever accused Clinton a misconduct tied
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: to Epstein, though Trump has for years suggested Clinton's travel
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: on Epstein's jets was suspect. The Clinton Foundation has dismissed
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: the renewed attention, saying the emails that have been released
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: proved that Bill Clinton did nothing and knew nothing, and
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: argue the controversy is being used as a political distraction.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: But here's what we do know. Flight records tell a
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: little bit different story. The flight records disclosed in earlier
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: civil litigation showed that Clinton took several trips on Epstein's
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: plane in two thousand and two and two thousand and three,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: traveling with staff to destinations across Africa, Asia, and Europe.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: James Comer argued that while some Democrats have formally stated
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: they had no knowledge of Epstein, the Clintons have never
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: responded to Congress inquiries are taken questions from reporters or
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: investigators about their ties to Jeffrey Epstein. We also know
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: that other Democrats have sent letters saying they knew nothing
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: about Epstein, which would hold in court if something ever
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: comes out that they did know something Comer said, and
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: he said this, and then they've committed perjury here. But
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: the Clintons have never responded. They're the one group in
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: this investigation that's never had to answer questions in front
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: of a credible reporter, and they've never certainly answered questions
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: from attorneys or members of Congress. So we expect the
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Clintons to come in or I expect the Clintons to
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: be met with the same fate that Steve Bannon and
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Peter Navarro were met with when the Democrats were in control.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: House.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Democrats sought criminal charges you may remember against Steve Bannon
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: and former Trump White House strategists after he refused to
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: appear before the House committee investigating the January sixth attacks
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: on the US Capitol. A federal jury ultimately found him
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress and received
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: a four month jail Terman twenty twenty two. Navarro, a
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: senior trade advisor during Trump's first administration, face a similar outcome.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: He too, given a four month federal prison sentence after
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: being found guilty of defying a subpoena from Congress issued
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: by the same January sixth Investigation.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: So here we are.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: As James Comer said, the Democrats have Trump derangement syndrome.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: They're just hoping and praying that there's something in these
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: documents somewhere that they don't know where, but somewhere that
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: would implicate Trump.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: In reality, now that the files.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: Are open, there's a very good chance that people like
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Bill and Hillary Clinton are going to be in a
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: lot more trouble than they ever could have imagined.
