colostrum comes in. It takes a whole body, natural approach
to wellness, working with your body, not against it. Colostrum,

and nutrients that your body still needs. Cowboy coolostrum uses
only the highest quality first day milking from grass fed
regenerative US farms. It is never diluted or filled with junk.
You just mix it into your coffee, your milk, or
you're smoothie. You'll love the vanilla that's super popular and

(00:43):
the strawberry because it tastes like a milkshake. Colostrum is
nature's original superfood, loaded with bioactives that fortify your immune
system and strengthen your digestion. It's small batch, third party tested,

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Like SAMs through the al Glans. So are the days
of the United States in.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Down bubble futty based down in.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Based downs.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
We need to make sure that our negotiators understand that
a transition to clean energy also prevents local toxic health health.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Hello there, fellow kids, how do that's what this felt like?

Speaker 4 (01:52):
It?

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Oh? Man?

Speaker 1 (01:53):
So this was doctors at the COP thirty climate summit.
They're saying to a hip hop thung demanding fossil fueld
phase out?

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Is that? Now, wait a minute.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Didn't they clear a whole road in the jungle for
that climate summit?

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Huh?

Speaker 5 (02:12):
And everybody flew there in their jets.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
They they felled a huge section for a new four
lane highway, and they cut through tens of thousands of
acres of protected rainforest to have their little climate summit
out there. They cut through imagine dense forestate. Just imagine

(02:38):
like you know, a dense tree line. You're in the
Amazon for crying out loud the jungle they cut through
to make a new four lane highway and I can't
even believe. I mean tens of thousands of acres of

(02:59):
protected rainforest, and as k noted, ninety nine percent of
the people flew there.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Half of them were on well almost half of them.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Everybody who was famous was on a private jet. Now,
the crazy thing is that there are some communities that
live in more isolated parts of that protected rainforest that
they mowed through tens of thousands of acres that aren't
even connected to that road. That could be they didn't

(03:30):
even connect the neighborhoods. They went and they were talking
to people who lived there. And for instance, Claudio Verequete,
he lives maybe I think what one hundreds of odd
miles from other road where they built the road, and
he harvested osi e berries.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
He said everything was destroyed.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
They cut our harvest down and we don't have that
income this year to support our family. He said, there's
no compensation from any government, and he said that there's
going to be more deforestation.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
In the future.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
All of these people that live in these communities, they
said that they didn't even were not even connected to
this road.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
It was just for these posers. Climate is a scam.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Our partners. It's the folks over at Celtech. The KS
seven Gen two shotgun. You guys are familiar with keltalk
Florida company. They make a lot of different firearms and

Tell them Dana sent you. Welcome back to the program
top of this third hour. You can find us on
channel three forty seven if you want to watch the
radio program. The sub stack chapter and verse and the

(05:19):
chat is at rumbles. So I got to set this
video up for you because this is.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Interesting.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
So a former FBI employee says he was wrongfully terminated
because he had displayed a Pride flag. He's suing the
agency in the US Department of Justice. David Multinsky. He
said he worked as an intelligence specialist in two thousand

(05:50):
since two thousand and nine, and he displayed the flag
and for several years, and he says that he was
unjustly fired because he had displayed his Pride flag. Is
what he had said. He talked with six with CBS
News and he said he was a sixteen year FBI

(06:12):
employeee who was weeks away from being elevated to the
position of agent when he was fired.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
Listen to those Were you surprised when you got the
word he worked with leave? I wasn't surprised. I was
definitely disappointed. I knew, not truly firsthand, but I knew
I was on a list. There was fear after the
administration took in came in that they were going to

(06:41):
start looking at all of our personnel files where some
of us did self identify our sexual orientation, some people
did identify as trans so there was fear early on
that Doge was going to collect this and they were
going to curate a list and get rid.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Of the end.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
You say it pretty casually, but it's pretty powerful to
hear that phrase.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
You say you were likely on a list.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
It's quite something. It's concerning.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
So yeah, first off, it sounds like he just stucked
at his job. How are you there for sixteen years
trying to become an agent and you're never promoted to
being an agent after serving for sixteen years.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
That's why he went to the FBI.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
He wanted to be an FBI agent and he was
there for sixteen years and they never made him an
FBI agent. I wonder why that's number one number two.
I don't care if he had it at his desk.
It's the FBI. If you're going to work in law enforcement,
get over yourself. No one cares. No one cares what
you think, No one cares what your pet issues are.

(07:50):
If you really want to serve the public, then serve
the public. But if you want to serve the public
with a caveat of being able to serve yourself, then
you're not serving the public. This guy wanted to be
able to, I guess have his cake and eat it too.
There are certain jobs that you take where you have
to be professional, right. You can't do stuff like this,

(08:13):
like the lady who is a cop and she got
in trouble because she played a stripper in a rap
video and she got fired. There's certain requirements, certain behaviors
that you are supposed to have in your private life
if you are going to take on a certain job
so that you don't compromise the integrity or the appearance

(08:36):
of propriety of that agent of the agency. And that's
what this is about. If I see any I don't
want to see any kind of political leanings of law
enforcement officers. I don't want to see any of that
because immediately you're prioritizing politics over your job. It's just

(08:57):
how I look at it, and I really think it's
the way it should be. I don't want to see
any kind of anything except the US flag and the
state flag on your desk.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
That's it. I don't want to see nothing.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
If you cannot get over the selfish desire to constantly
quote unquote express yourself, then maybe that line of work
isn't for you. And let's be real, this is not
about expressing oneself. This is about establishing cultural dominance in
the workspace. That's really what this is about. People say,

(09:33):
express themselves, but that's not what it is. You're not
prevented from expressing yourself at home, you're not prevented. But
if you're going to work a job where you're wearing
a badge and you're representing a government agency, then yes,
all of your little bumper stickers that you want to
put on your desk and all this other stuff that's
not professional. He's acting like this is a high school

(09:56):
locker and not an FBI office. So yeah, the guy
deserved to be fired. Hell I would have fired him
a long time ago. He sounds insubordinate. And now he's
going to sue the agency. And guess who's gonna have
to foot the bill for this suit, taxpayers? Because this
whiny little twink wasn't able to put up a flag

(10:17):
on his desk, then don't take the job, bottom line.
And as Kine noted, what is the refrain that we
hear from the left all the time?

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yep, separation of church and state. Oh yeah, yeah, that's
separate sex and state.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
That's jet that's right. Yeah, he wasn't fired for being gay.
I mean literally they have. I mean Cashptel did events
with gay Republicans. It has nothing to do with being gay.
That's this guy's trying to hide behind that because he's
it sounds like he was just a bad hire and
completely incompetent and kind of a pansy. He was bad

(10:56):
at his job. You're there for sixteen years trying to
make agent and you're never there's a reason.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Dude, it's probably because I'm gay. No, it's probably because
you're bad at your job. I just don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
I want to be an FBI agent, but I just
can't figure out why they fire me for being insubordinate.
I don't want a guy like this to be an
FBI agent. So good riddance, learn to code. Good riddance.
So he's out. And but this lawsuit's going to go on.
That's what's annoying. That's what is so infuriating. And this

(11:30):
is all about you know, the DEI all of that. Uh,
this one guy, what is it? The law the law firm,
excuse me that's representing this guy.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
He goes.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
It's obvious he's being targeted for political reasons. What no
one knew who this guy was. They're not target if
you are displaying it prominently on your desk and it's
against I don't care if your previous supervisor or said
it was okay.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
When you have a new boss, you have new rules.
That's it.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Also, he was in Los Angeles. Cash Pattel is in DC.
Cashpatol doesn't work out of LA. He infers. The intimation
here is that cash Pattel personally has a problem with him.
This guy is in LA. How the hell would Cashpatel
even know?

Speaker 2 (12:25):
You see what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
It is all so incredibly sus He goes, I believe
I was fired not because of.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Who I am, but what I am. No, well, you
are incompetent.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
So yeah, that's probably why he's never gonna get hired
by another law enforcement agency again after this. I mean,
DEI aside, nobody wants a guy like that.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Wearing a badge. Nobody. But I had the flag on
my desk. Yeah you didn't think that was a problem.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
I don't care if your previous you know, fairy godmother
supervisor didn't have an issue with it. Someone in that
LA office had new rules, and so now and then
he's trying to make it. See that's what is to
even more suspicious to me that they're trying. It's like
a way to territy take down cash Pattel. They're they're
they're acting like this guy is being specifically targe.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
I mean, that's what they're saying.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
They're saying that cash Patel unjustly fired him. Again, this
guy works out of LA I'm just curious inappropriate display
of political signage. Well, yeah, I actually I we had
people in our family who worked in the police force.
You cannot have that stuff on your desk. I don't
know why FBI would be any different. I had an

(13:47):
uncle who is a deputy for like thirty years. You
could never have anything like this on your desk.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
He would not. He didn't even.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Display like I Actually, you know what, I never even
knew who I just now realized this.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
I never knew who he voted for.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
I just assumed, you know, you know, a wor old
deputy never put anything like that on his desk, never
had anything like that in his car. He was totally
professed because he was a real one. That's how it
should be. I don't know any I don't know anybody
in law enforcement where they're allowed to put all this
stuff on their desk and make these you know, basically
make a political if you're supposed to be there serving everyone.

(14:22):
When you make declarations like this with items, you are
immediately making a statement of bias as a law enforcement agent.
That's that's not allowed. So don't work in that field.
If you cannot get over yourself. Then if you're too

(14:42):
look what is the saying. If you're too good to serve,
you're not fit to lead? There it is right there.
That's it, right there, Pretty unbelievable. You don't have to
pick between safe storage or quick access if you're a fireromowner,
the folks at stopbox Pro give you both. The stopbox

Speaker 4 (16:09):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
It's time for Dana's Quick five. All right, so we
have what are we got here?

Speaker 1 (16:21):
An English school band k pop demon hunters over songs,
their songs over concerns that the kids might fight demons
or something? What am I?

Speaker 2 (16:33):
What am I missing here?

Speaker 1 (16:35):
By the way, do people not realize that in anime
it really is good versus evil? They don't tolerate the
kind of stuff that America tolerates in our cartoons, and
that they don't tolerate that kind of stuff. I mean,
it is hyper conservative. I don't think people realize this.
So when they say like demon hunters, that's literally what

(16:56):
they're doing. And I don't know why people are like
freaking out over it. I think, oh my gosh, Cane,
I just realized Jasmine Crockett has the.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Hair of the Purple One. I'm not kidding.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
It's like the same thing follows this girl group, the
cartoon girl group that they they're like a pop group,
an idol group over there, and then they also exterminate demons.
What's bad about that? Yeah, I don't see it. Seems
like we need more of it. I don't know. An
NYPD detective was pulled from cases over playing a stripper
in a rat video. If you're wearing the badge, you

(17:30):
probably shouldn't be shaken the badge on the pole in
a rat video. It's just, you know, there's certain things
that you're expected to do when you go in certain professions.
I have a question, how do you steal a driveway? Okay,
so a woman woke up when outside somebody stole her

(17:52):
drive way. This woman padge padge bat, I would try
to say. I was trying to say both of her
her first and last name. At the same time Page Batten.
She bought a home in October of last year to
flip and resell it. She listed it for sale and
then potential buyers and their agent called her to say
they called her one morning they were going over on

(18:12):
a Saturday, and they said something's wrong.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
With the house.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
She said, what, like, your driveway is gone. When are
you finishing the driveway? And she was like, wait what
So she goes there. The whole driveway bent, just like
pulled up. It was concrete, so crack. How does that
even happen? So they were trying to figure out how
in the world. They said, trucks were there the other
morning and apparently, yeah taken somebody stole the driveway, So

(18:37):
they're investigating. I've never heard anything like that in my life.
But I mean, I guess the neighbors just thought she's
doing something to the house and that's why they didn't
think too.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Yeah, exactly, a.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Prankster's bypassed the Louvers security and they snuck a painting inn.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Uh it's a Belgia duo.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
They created their own little painting and they snuck it
into the louver and they left it in the same
room as the Mona Lisa. Security did not notice them
at all. They've got problems over there, and not just
at the museum.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
I never said that it was that Jeffrey Epstein, just
so that people understand when you make a donation, your
picture is not there. And because they decided to spring
this on us in real time, I wanted the Republicans
to think about what could potentially happen because I knew
that they didn't even try to go through the FEC.
So my team what they did is they googled, And
that is specifically why I said a Jeffrey Epstein. Unlike Republicans,

(19:39):
I at least don't go out and just tell lies
because it was not the same one.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
That's fine.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
But when Lee Zelden had something to say, all he
had to say was it was a different Jeffrey Jeffrey Epstein.
He admitted that he did receive donations from a Jeffrey Epstein,
So at least I wasn't trying to mislead people.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yes, you were.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Your crack team is on cra that's Jasmine Crockett. Remember
she came out the other day. She was accusing Leezelden
and all these Republicans of taking donations from Jeffrey Epstein.
But her dumb as a box of rock staff and
she's too. This woman is one of the dumbest people
I've ever seen in my life. And I mean, I

(20:19):
know Congress's standards are low, but dang. They came out
they found the name Jeffrey Epstein in these donation lists, right,
and so they rushed out, well, look at this, they're
all trying to say, because they because Republicans were asking
why Democrats were taking actual money from the dead Jeffrey Epstein.
Why was he Keem Jeffreys trying to solicit a six

(20:41):
figure donation to his campaign. Why were other lawmakers like
Stacey Plaskin and others getting money from him and texting
with him and doing his bidding. So she comes out.
You can tell that they didn't worship this girlfriend comes out.
Oh my crack team looked it up and then they

(21:02):
found Oh, they just didn't even bother checking to see
because you know, okay, they don't have their pictures on
the side when you donate, and they said, oh, it's
the same Jeffrey Epps.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
It's got to be the same one.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Ignore the doctor on some of the names, ignore the
location it's got to be the same one. And now
her defense is why I didn't say it was the
Jeffrey Ebs. I just said it was a jeff Reebs.
Oh my gosh. If she can do an accent, I
can't too. She's from for Krena, able to do please.

(21:37):
That is one of the worst defenses I've ever heard.
She's trying to move the goalposts. So wait, if you
can match the name of a donor to a name
of someone, a different person who did something bad, that
we can go after all those people because that could
be a lot of fun, right, I feel like we
could do some things with that. That is just dumb.

(22:01):
That is sort of it fell on its face. I
can't believe she sat there on CNN and what's her face?
Collins didn't push back on that. I would have interrupted
her and said, ma'am, that's one of the dumbest things
that I've ever heard, and we're all dumber for having
heard it, Like, you know, a little uh not happy
Gilmore style, but you know what I'm thinking of. I
can't remember the name Adam Sandler movie. There's just no

(22:24):
there's no defense of it. Number One, they don't have
a defense of it. They just simply don't. She said
she wasn't trying to mislead people, and then she was
defending hear her defense of Stacy Plasket.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
This is cut five.

Speaker 4 (22:40):
Stacy didn't initiate that chain. Jeffrey initiated that chain, and
she took the information just like if somebody text me.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
But she was responding and saying, you know, what are
you talking about? Quick? I'm up next. And then her
questions were about Rona. But do you think that was inappropriate?

Speaker 4 (22:54):
I mean, would you text someone who is a registered
sex ofphene.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
I mean about what you said.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
I honestly know that he had never been convicted of
any federal crimes at.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
That time, but he had been there already. He had
been And in my deal was this.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
The Republicans are constantly texting with a thirty four count
convicted fell in. So if it's okay but for them
to text him at any point in time, then I'm
not going to say that that's right or wrong, especially
to the extent that you're talking about kicking someone off
their committee. Were they talking?

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Were they sexty?

Speaker 4 (23:25):
Was it a matter of her being involved in the pedophilia?

Speaker 2 (23:28):
No, it was nothing like that, Oh.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
My gosh, she is just brainslopped in human form.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
What a clown.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Thirty four you know, she can't even get it straight.
Thirty four convicted count fell in what le She should
take the time it takes to weaving her hair extensions
to study up on some of this stuff. The thirty
four count, that's one of the That whole witch hunt,
the whole New York thing is one of the stupidest cases.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
We talked about that endlessly. Lorraine's got a lot.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Of stuff up on it at substack, chapter and verse
because that whole story they it wasn't thirty four different crimes.
It was literally like one email and then anytime anything
was done a response or it was forwarded or opened
or anything that's like a count, that's it. And it
was a past the statute of limitations we don't even

(24:19):
know flashback real quick. So in New York they can
try to elevate with their state law, elevate a misdemeanor
to a felony if they can find that it was
committed a crime that was committed to hide another crime,
and there wasn't another crime in this case, but they

(24:39):
the jury was instructed to ignore the fact that that
didn't exist. That's the hands to sky. What happened Alvin
Bragg after all of these other prosecutors refused to take
that case, and that was the bookkeeping thing with what's
her face?

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Oh? What is that slag? What's her name? You know
what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
I can't remember the old stripper?

Speaker 2 (24:59):
What's their her?

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Don't remind me, I don't. I don't have it. I
have some oh gosh, yes, I have something else in
my brain that's occupying that space. But they Alvin Bragg,
if you remember, he said that there was another crime
that was done in order to elevate it, and it
was already past statue limitations, in order to elevate it

(25:22):
to a felony, even though there wasn't another crime that
they actually articulated in the charging docs because we read
all of it, and then I don't know how that
changes the expiration of the statue.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
That's insane.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
I mean, they concocted this thing just so they could
say he's a convicted felon. Right, So she said in
here defending Stacy Plaskett, Why, by the way, can I
ask a question, why is a non voting member a
non voting delegate on any House committee, especially like Intel.
Why she's from Virgin Islands, she can't vote, she doesn't

(25:59):
have a vote. Why the hell is she on any committee?
I don't understand this? Do you guys understand this. I
was talking to a friend of mine and they were
who works on the Hill? I asked him this and
he was like, Uh, I'm like, no offense to my friend.
I was like, I'm sorry, but you're like sixty eight
years old. You've lived your whole life on DC on

(26:19):
the Hill.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
What It's wild?

Speaker 1 (26:21):
But she can't and she's on congressional committees, a number
of committees. She I don't know how she the only
reason that she probably had. How did she get Epstein's number?
How did Epstein get her number? This is actually a
question that if Florine just asked, how did who gave
Jeffrey Plaskett's personal phone number?

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Which would imply that they've conversed before.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah, she's on the Subcommittee on Weaponization of Federal Government,
Committee on Oversight and Agriculture. She shouldn't be on any committee.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
Well, according to this, it says here because she is
a US.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
Virgin Island's representative, she is explicitly permitted by House rules
to participate in and vote within.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
Congressions, which is insane because she's a nut.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
But she's technically a non voting delegate because of virgin Ilands.
So it's weird how it's set up. But the whole point,
how how did he have her number? And it wasn't
just because I know a lot of lawmakers will have
two phones. They have their personal phone for their family
and their friends and their their lives, their their personal
lives off capital lives, and then they have their phone

(27:30):
for capital work. That has you know, that's where they
keep all their documents. They keep everything on it because
everything you have to keep account of everything. I don't
know if she has that set up. I don't think
every lawmaker has that setup. I know some who do
and some who do not. But how did he get
the number to the personal phone that she had and
she had with her at that hearing, and she literally

(27:52):
had sat at one point, I'm getting ready, I'm coming
up to ask questions.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
She was asking for his direction. What would you have me?
What would you have me? Ask?

Speaker 1 (28:03):
And that's when she was speaking with Michael Cohen. The
hearing with Michael Cohen and who's Trump's attorney still at
the time, that's pretty significant. And then Jasmine Crockett's defense
is to say, what that, Oh, well, you know, it's
not like they were sexteen. That is so gross. That's

(28:25):
something I did not need to know. And then Plaskett
cut ten she doesn't have any regrets. Listen to this,
She's ruined Crockett's defensive her.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Wait, let me just better understand that.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
What is that point because at the time he was
a known sex offender and it had been detailed all
the sexualifs.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
There are a lot of people who have done a
lot of crimes, and as a prosecutor, you get information
from people where you can. I've interviewed confidential informants, I've
interviewed narcotics, drug traffickers and others. And that doesn't mean
that I'm their friend. That doesn't mean that they are
friendly with me. It means that they have information that

(29:03):
I mean and that I'm trying to get it the
truth and.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
That's what I did. So no regrets, basically is what
you're saying.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
I'm moving forward.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
She takes direction. She was taking direction from Epstein. She
wasn't getting background information.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
She was saying.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
Remember this came out after all of this with the
questioning with plasket came out after these emails showed that
Epstein was talking to Michael Wolfe. You guys, remember Michael
wolf is the I and I say this as somebody
who knew who's known Steve Bannon personally.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
I've worked in an office with him elbow to elbow
for over a decade.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
I think it's super suss when you're in the president's
enter circle and you're bringing that snake into the White
House and he just didn't. He did not just bring
him into the White House. That guy had all access.
I don't think y'all understand how serious that is. That
was his first book of all that hit all the
hit piece as it came out. And while that was happening,
because Bannon was working with Epstein, reportedly he was advising

(30:06):
him wolf Epstein was asking wolf you know what can
I do to bury him? Talking about Trump politically, all
of this was happening at the same time. Man, he
had snakes that were undermining him right under his feet
in his first term. Now, maybe some people who were
so easy to be power adjacent and kiss whatever backside

(30:26):
presented itself to them. Maybe they'll they'll adopt a little
bit more of my discernment on this stuff, because I
have my way of thinking for a reason, and he
wanted to go at Trump. Epstein had turned they and
I think it had to do with Trump. My thought

(30:46):
is from all the documents that I saw and the
stuff that's out there already, because it's like he snitched
on him to the FBI. It's like he blew the whistle,
and it just seems like it was vengeance, a vendetta
for that. That's how because otherwise, like why, I mean,
all of a sudden, he's gunning for him, and he was.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
He was literally emailing with Michael Wolfe. All that's out.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
All those emails came out last week, emailing Michael wolf
Wolf asking him what else do you need?

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Yeah, we can bury him.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
And the fact that he wrote that in an email
goes to even after all this stuff happened, he still
thought he was untouchable. He thought he was untouchable, and
that plasket so they all knew this. There is no
defense of this at all whatsoever. A convicted pedophile, convicted

(31:39):
sex offender has the personal phone of a member of
the House and it, and just as he was with
Michael Wolfe was directing her on how to talk to Trump.
It was like Epstein was sitting there on that House,
that committee, conducting that hearing himself.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
There is no defense. I don't think that. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
I don't think non voting members of the US House
should ever be on any kind of committees. I don't
She's been there since twenty fifteen, so she can introduce legislation,
she can participate in committee, so she can vote in
a committee, but she cannot vote in legislation on the
House floor. I don't think she should. I don't think anything.
She needs to be stripped of all of it at
this point.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
This is just awful.
