00:00The president says he's withdrawing support for you, encouraging primary challengers.

00:06You were one of his biggest supporters. What do you think happened here?

00:12Well, Dana, thank you for having me on. And that is true. I stood with President Trump when

00:18virtually no one else did. Campaigned all over the country, spent millions of my own dollars

00:23helping him get elected. And I think that's incredibly important. And I do support him

00:29and his administration. And I support them in delivering the campaign promises we made to

00:35the American people. His remarks, of course, have been hurtful. However, I have something in my

00:42heart that I think is incredibly important for our country. And that is to end the toxic fighting

00:48in politics. And this has been going on for years. And it has divided our country, split up friends

00:55and families, neighbors. And it's not solving our problems. The most hurtful thing he said,

01:02which is absolutely untrue, is he called me a traitor. And that is that is so extremely wrong.

01:10And those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in

01:18danger. What do you think happened? What do you think is the reason for this?

01:27Unfortunately, it has all come down to the Epstein files. And that is shocking. And, you know, I stand

01:34with these women. I stand with rape victims. I stand with children who are in terrible sex abuse

01:40situations. And I stand with survivors of trafficking and those that are trapped in sex trafficking.

01:48And I will not apologize for that. I believe the country deserves transparency in these files.

01:55And I don't believe that that rich, powerful people should be protected if they have if they have done

02:03anything wrong. And so I'm standing with the women. And I will continue to do my small part to get the

02:10files released.
