Congressman James Comer (3:17)

Mr. Kahn's answering every question thus far. We've completed two full hours of depositions. I would say we are possibly at the halfway point. It could, could last more than four hours. But he, he confirmed there were five clients that paid money to Epstein, and that was Les Wexner, Glenn Dubin, Stephen Sinofsky, the Rothschilds and Leon Black. We've already deposed Wexner and we're going to be deposing Leon black very soon. Mr. Klein testified under oath because the Democrats asked this question. He had never seen any type of transaction to Trump or anyone in his family. That makes the fifth witness now that's testified under oath that they've never seen any involvement by Donald Trump or their family. That includes Khan, Bill Clinton, Wexner, Acosta and Barr. So I know that's the obsession of a lot of the media with respect to the Epstein investigation. But I will again remind the, the investigations about getting the truth to the American people, trying to figure out how the government failed answer questions we all have. Was he an agent? Was our government involved in any type of COVID up in any way, shape or form? And finally, what can be done to prevent this from happening in the future?

Those are all good questions. And while Comer claims that Khan exonerated Donald Trump again, but the truth is that's not actually what happened. And while Donald Trump has yet to testify on Capitol Hill or even be subpoenaed by members of Congress to testify under oath. But we are going to get even more information soon because Kathy Ruemiller, we're learning now the former or current Goldman Sachs general counsel who is set to resign, she is going to testify in April regarding her relationship to Jeffrey Epstein. And it comes as we are in the war in Iran, a war that has cost American taxpayers $11.6 billion. B, with a billion in the first six days of the war in Iran. Now, it's been more than 10 days, the first six days. That's how much the administration estimated in a report to Congress, which means that in total, the United States likely spent more than $15 billion thus far in taxpayer dollars, potentially close to $20 billion on this war. And while Donald Trump tonight, he is claiming victory right now.

Donald Trump (5:50)

Is that a great name? Well, it's Only good if you win, you know, you can only do. And we've won. Let me say we've won. You know, you never like to say too early, you won, we won. We won. The bet in the first hour. It was over. We won.

News Anchor (6:05)

But.

Donald Trump (6:06)

But they gave me a list of names of General, sir. You can pick the name you'd like, sir. I said, the name of what? The name of the attack on Iran, sir. And they gave me like 20 names. And I'm like falling asleep. I didn't like any of them. Then I see epic fury. I said, I like that name. I like that name.

News Anchor (6:31)

I like that name. I like that name. We won. We won. Well, the truth is the war is far from over because this is what the Persian Gulf looks like tonight. These are real scenes coming out of the Persian Gulf. Now, if you want to know what that is, that's an oil tanker, a commercial ship that is on fire this evening. According to Reuters, multiple ships this evening have been targeted by Iranian boats with bombs attached to the boats. They're literally on fire in the Persian Gulf. And it comes as Iran has made a public pledge. You're about to pay $200 a barrel of oil for a barrel of oil. That would mean your gas prices are set to rise to $5. I think a big miscalculation that we've seen from this administration thus far is that Iran has certain economic tools that will impact the American public. Number one, oil being that Iran is on the Strait of Hormuz and really controls who goes in and who goes out. Iran controls about 20% of the world's oil just simply based on geographic territory. And what we're seeing now is Iran targeting oil infrastructure, now commercial oil vessels, which will only make it more expensive for the American public. But that's not all we learned today, that stunning report that the FBI had warned California law enforcement about possible drone attacks. To me, I mean, it sounded a bit hyperbole, hyper. Hyperbolic. But drone attacks on California from Iran. Here's what California Governor Gavin Newsom had to say, because I know a lot of people were fearful.

Governor Gavin Newsom (8:11)

As it relates to the broader concern, as it relates to drone strikes. We're, you know, we've been aware of that information. We've been working collaboratively through the soc, which we established right after the war began, the State Operations center, working with the Office Emergency Service, but also working locally to make sure we transmit any information that we have received. And we're aware of that which has been reported, I think, by ABC7. We're aware of that information and we transfer that information in real time to our local partners. Drone issues have been been always top of mind and we've assembled some work groups specifically around those concerns, but that's all I'll share at the moment. I have nothing more insightful beyond just what's been reported and how we're transmitting what we know to our local partners, which is critical.

News Anchor (9:02)

So that's where you hit. That's what you see from California Governor Gavin Newsom. We'll see what happens next. But obviously there are very serious concerns about the American public, very serious concerns about potential attacks on the homeland, concerns overall about the amount of money we're spending on this conflict abroad.
