This Epstein stuff, these, these emails and what could come. Yeah, well.

We know that when he says there's nothing going on there, that there are problems. And just last night, even before all of these emails leaked out, I was hearing that House members were talking about the fact that they could not, you know, possibly vote nay on this one once the bill was actually on the floor. So there are already Republican members starting to break ranks. And I think these emails just apply more pressure and you can see a really desperate White House that is responding that way. I mean, the New York Times is reporting that he's calling Lauren Boebert, he's calling Nancy Mace, who is running for governor in South Carolina and would need his endorsement to clear in the primary. But he is working every angle he can to try to get them to remove their names from the discharge petition so that the bill won't come to the floor.

Because once it's on the floor, it's.
Julie K. Brown (1:16)
Going to be really, really hard for these members not to vote for it. And he's in a really tough spot. And I think this whole idea of flood the zone, just dump all of the emails right now, get all the journalists, you know, in a tizzy looking through all of it. It just, it, it reeks of desperation, frankly.

What about the reaction among Donald Trump's base? They had been so loud in a demand for the Epstein files to know who knew what to hold those accountable. And it seems like some of that died off over the summer during the shutdown. Where are they today?
Julie K. Brown (1:54)
Yeah, I think that they were following him. I mean, his believers tend to trust him when he says there's nothing there, it's a hoax. Where are they today? I think that there is universal support for releasing the files. If there's nothing there, then show it. There's just so much mystery around it, too. And for so long he said that.
Tara Palmeri (2:13)
It'S a cabal of elitist Democrats.
Julie K. Brown (2:15)
So they want to see that, too. I think that there is bipartisan desire for justice in this story, despite what he says. I just think that you're not hearing it from the loudest voices online anymore on the right because the they now work in this administration. Their cash Patel, Pam Bondi.
