00:00Hi, my man.

00:00Hi, nice to see you.

00:02Good to be seen.

00:03So you were the one Republican yesterday to vote with the Democrats on this amendment on Epstein.

00:09Why?

00:10Transparency.

00:12Transparency to get it out.

00:14I think, you know, it was a, that was not a hard vote for me because, you know, whatever they have,

00:25and I think fan bonding is turning it over to somebody else now.

00:28But whatever they have, it needs to be transparent.

00:30It needs to come out.

00:31You don't think the Justice Department's been transparent?

00:33No, I wouldn't say that.

00:34I don't know what they have.

00:36I mean, this all just came to a head, and we'll see.

00:39But on all this, it should be transparent.

00:42The president says it's time to move on.

00:45That's fine.

00:46You know, that's fine.

00:47But I don't want to see him hurt in this.

00:50And transparency is just the best way to go.

00:52What do you mean you want to see him hurt?

00:53No, I mean, I think that the American people need to see what's in there.

00:58And that's not hard to understand across the board.

01:02Government's supposed to work for us.

01:04And it looks like they don't want to present everything, but maybe we hadn't.

01:09If there's nothing there, show the blank sheet.

01:11Should there be a special counsel investigation?

01:13Depends on what they end up with.

01:15I don't know how it's going to end up with what they finally, what Pam Bondley will finally decide.

01:19But there's been enough questions.

01:21Dan Bongino I respect.

01:23I respect his judgment.

01:24I respect what he's done for the country.

01:26And I don't know.

01:27Do you respect Bondi?

01:28Yeah, I respect Bondi.

01:29She's doing a good job.

01:30She's got a track record.

01:31But, you know, all that to say is if at the end of the day, all the records ought to be transparent for the American people.

01:38And the same thing with the Kennedy file, the killing of Kennedy, which they hid for a long time.

01:43But January 6th, a lot of the things that were erased ought to be brought to light.

01:47And that's not that hard for me.

01:50But you don't believe the memo they put out last week?

01:53What memo?

01:54The memo that they said that this was not a murderer and that there's no client list.

01:59I trust Cash Patel.

02:00All I know is from what we heard, the cameras weren't working the day he died.

02:05All that is just a lot of questions about him.

02:08And I think they ought to be answered.

02:10I trust Cash implicitly.

02:12I trust, you know, the administration.

02:14But, you know, it needs to be vetted out.

02:18How should the administration handle that?

02:21Well, it's up to them, I think, putting it down.

02:23I think it's up to them.
