In fact, do you remember what happened? It was the chaplains themselves. The religious men who are in the military were being booted from the military, were being punished for claiming religious objections with the COVID jab. Nope. Got a religious exemption. Not going to do it. Their lives were made a living hell. So remind me again about this whole thing about, oh, you, you can refuse an unconstitutional order, you can refuse an unlawful order. How does exactly does that work out when Democrats are the ones who are administering unlawful unconstitutional orders? Not well for the troops. Not well at all. So they lie. They lie. That's all they have. They don't have a positive vision for the country. All they do is sow division and chaos. It's really unfortunate. Pete Hegseth is the Secretary of War. Thank goodness. He says what we're witnessing right now from these Democrats, stage four Trump derangement syndrome. Stephen Miller at the White House Democrat lawmakers are now openly calling for insurrection, he says, and Joe Kent, the great Joe Kent says that theater kids are now encouraging an insurrection. That's for sure, a bunch of theater kids. But the stakes are very high. They can be ridiculous, preposterous human beings, which they are. But no question, the stakes are very high. And so that's, to me, one of the biggest stories of the last 24 hours is the Democrats are now openly engaging in this very seditious behavior, inciting insurrection against the United States by the very American troops who have sworn an oath to defend our Constitution, to defend our country. You cruel people. You cruel people. In the absence of a positive agenda for the country, they sow division and destruction. Really, really disgusting stuff. You know, the Democrats, they've, well, they've, they've just been an absolute disgrace this year. And that includes a lot of things that were happening yesterday as well, where they've been trying to, they've been claiming recently they had this, this recent revelation that they wanted to talk about the Jeffrey Epstein stuff. I let me remind you of why they're talking about the Epstein stuff at all. They don't have a positive vision for the country, which I've been saying. And they really want to distract you from the fact that they have made this country so much worse. Health care costs, as they were talking about during the government shutdown, are set to go up in the United States because of what Democrats have done to the American peoples because of Obamacare. And knowing that they own the consequences of their own cruelty, they've been looking to foment distractions from that cruelty. So that's why they've been raising the specter that, oh, we need to be transparent about Jeffrey Epstein. We need to tell the truth because people are going to find out how awful Donald Trump is. Now, I won't relitigate every reason. We know that Donald Trump has nothing to worry about because I've covered it at great length. But yesterday, here are the updates on this story. We got some big meaningful ones. Yesterday, almost the entire House of Representatives, almost for a 427 to 1 vote, voted to pass something called the Epstein Files Transparency act, the Epstein Files Transparency Act. And I think it's really important that we be clear about what this actually does and what it doesn't do. So what it is going to do, this is the, this is the effect of this thing is it requires the Attorney General of the United States, Pam Bondi, two within the next 30 days after the President signs it into law. And as we're doing this show to this morning, that that has not yet happened. But it could, it could. At any point, Pam Bondi would have 30 days to make all unclassified Department of Justice records related to Jeffrey Epstein, including from the FBI and various U.S. attorney's office, searchable, publicly posted and searchable online in a downloadable format. In other words, no binders, no, no paperwork distributed, no leaking to the press, nothing like that. She has to post everything to the Internet so that you and I can search through it and then figure out what's going on inside of these files. Got it. But there's an exception to this. And this, in case you're wondering, like, well, is everything going to be released? We finally going to just get everything dumped out so the public can look at it? The answer to that is no. The answer to that is no. And here's what I mean. The bill is going to allow Pam Bondi to withhold or redact any material that involves the following categories. So just bear with me here. Child sexual abuse material. Stands to reason anything showing children being sexually abused should not be made public. I think everybody agrees with that. Any, any, any physical abuse material. None of that. Anything related to death, the bill allows to be redacted. Death. Now, I don't know what deaths would be in play except for, well, Jeffrey Epstein. That would be a centerpiece of this, but apparently that information would be redacted. Presumably it just says death. That's the, that's the reference. Also personal information of alleged victims. And this is a big one. Ready. Any information that could compromise ongoing investigations, prosecutions, national security or foreign policy. Huh? Now, we just had Shaun Davis on the program earlier this week, and this is something that you and I have been talking about for some time. One of the centerpieces of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. This is some. That kind of lurks in the background is the extent to which Jeffrey Epstein was either a participant in operations by the intelligence community, and I say intelligence community broadly. It doesn't have to be the United States intelligence community community, the Israeli intelligence community, whatever intelligence community he may have been linked up with, or if he was gathering information that was being exploited by one of the intel communities. In other words, he had all this blackmail information on powerful people, and that intel communities were using it as a means to put the squeeze on people that they wanted to or had information about that they used in some sort of tactical way. And they don't want to disclose disinformation for fear they're giving up their leverage. That's one of the things that's lurking in the background to this. Well, because the reason so many people want transparency, the fundamental reason is justice. You don't want to see powerful people hurt children and get away with it. You want to see them held accountable for it. But you can't miss the intel, national security, foreign policy implications. Especially when the legislation itself establishes carve outs for national security and foreign policy and says that information does not have to be posted to the Internet. That's what the legislation says. So it sailed through the House yesterday, it's sailing through the Senate as they take a unanimous consent vote to just let the bill go right through. But Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House yesterday, I thought, had a very interesting statement on this subject. He is worried that classified intelligence could be revealed here. I want you to listen to Mike Johnson first and I'll tell you why this matters so much. Listen. Cut 12. Here's Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, talking about this yesterday. National security concerns. Okay? The discharge requires the Attorney General to release within 30 days, quote, classified information to the maximum extent possible. This ignores the principle that declassification should always rest and always has rested with the agency that originated the intelligence. Why? So that they can protect their critical sources and methods. It is incredibly dangerous to demand that officials or employees of the DOJ declassify materials that originated in other agencies and intelligence agencies. Any flags going up? Anybody? Any. Any. Does that catch your attention at all? It's very interesting what's happening. You need to understand something about Speaker Mike Johnson and the role that he plays. He is the speaker of the House, which means he's a part of something. The Gang of Eight in the Congress. The Gang of Eight are the eight officials in the United States Congress who are briefed on the most classified secrets of the United States government. Those include the speaker of the House, the Minority Leader in the House, that's Hakeem Jeffries, and then the Republican and Democrat leaders in the Senate, John Thune and Chuck Schumer. So those. That's four. And then the other four are the Republican leaders of the House and Senate Intel Committees. So there are eight members of Congress who are part of the Gang of Eight and they receive the most classified information. They receive briefings on the activities of the United States government. So Mike Johnson, when he's talking about classified information, presumably is speaking from a place of knowledge. In other words, I suspect that Speaker Johnson is aware of of the intel community implications of the Jeffrey Epstein files going Public. Now, he was expressing some, I don't know if you would say fear, trepidation, concern that information is about to go public that shouldn't. But he said, I think, I think the phrase he used to the maximum extent possible, this information will be declassified to the maximum extent possible. That's a qualifier. What that means is they're not releasing everything. And, and in fact, the bill itself goes out of its way to say that national security and foreign policy information needs to be protected from release. So, look, will there be information released? Well, no doubt there's got to go to release something. They're going to post something to the Internet that, that's what the Attorney General is going to do. But let's not overstate at any level just how fulsome the revelations are going to be here. Every question is not going to be answered by this. But just, just right up front, I, I can, I can instantly read this. And what Speaker Johnson is, is tipping his hand very heavily to is that classified intelligence is there's something worth keeping secret about Jeffrey Epstein that the United States government is going to continue to do so that, that, that's worth knowing about. And by the way, that may, if we're being honest, which we always are, may have been one of the animating principles behind President Trump's attitude around all of this, because President Trump has been one. He's just been saying the left is trying to orchestrate a hoax, which they are. But he also may be trying to protect some sort of national security information that he sees as valuable. That could be the case. I'm just again reading the tea leaves here. But, but as always, I just, I'll just tell you like it is. That's exactly what I'm, what I'm witnessing happening. Now. I mentioned to you that in the House there was a single no vote yesterday on, on the transparency. That no vote came from a congressman by the name of Clay Higgins, Louisiana Republican Clay Higgins. He voted no on this and he said it's a matter of principle. And I'm going to read this to you and you be the judge whether or not this is an adequate vote from, from Clay Higgins. But here's what he said. He said, I've been a principal no on this bill from the beginning. What was wrong with the bill three months ago is still wrong today. It abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America. As written, this bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people, witnesses, people who provided alibis, family members, et cetera. If enacted in its current form. This type of broad reveal of criminal investigative files released to a rabid media will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt. Not by my vote, says Clay Higgins. The Oversight Committee is conducting a thorough investigation, has already released well over 60,000 pages of documents from the Epstein case. That effort will continue in a manner that provides all due protections for innocent Americans. If the Senate amends the bill to properly address privacy of victims and other Americans who are named but not criminally implicated, then I will vote for that bill when it comes back to the House. Let me, let me. Let me just say that judging your decision to be transparent or not transparent on the way that the media is going to handle it is a stupid thing to do. The media doesn't care what the truth is. The media are lying to this day about Donald Trump being implicated in the Epstein files. It doesn't. You could, you could have a. A perfect alibi for Donald Trump come out, that Donald Trump has never met Jeffrey Epstein or whatever. Just. You could put it. Even though that's not true, of course he has, but you could put that out there. The media is not going to do it. They're going to spin it into a lie anyway. I. Here's what I don't like about this statement from Higgins. He claims it's a principled vote against it, that he's just trying to protect innocent people. He doesn't want anybody to be wrongfully slandered or implicated here. I. What I'm tired of is the patronizing treatment of the American people. Stop treating everybody like they're complete idiots. Like they're gonna read a name and then instantly conclude there's a name. That guy's guilty of something. No, I think thinking sober Americans, of which there are a lot, will weigh all of this. They'll look at it and they'll go, okay, why is that person's name There's. Did he just meet Jeffrey Epstein? A receiving line? Is. Was he included? Copied on an email that Epstein was also copied on and didn't have a relationship with him. Whatever the circumstances are, we are tired of the concealment. We're tired of the deception. So what we're demanding is transparency so we can get this horse crap done and over with. So stop cooking up reasons why it all needs to be concealed and start treating Americans like the adults that they are, the adults who actually make decisions about who should be in power. And the better informed we are, the better decisions we can make. And in fact, speaking of the people who are in power right now and the Jeffrey Epstein connections. Everything I keep seeing about these Democrats, well, that suggests that they shouldn't be in power at all. Not just their policies, which are already abhorrent, but the fact that they were in bed with Jeffrey Epstein. I've got more on that in just a moment as more and more Democrats are being caught up in this transparency initiative. Good. This is what we want. Reveal them all in Jeffrey Epstein's disgusting web.

Colleagues coordination with Epstein.
