00:00And I think this is the interesting point.

00:02We did see those emails that the Democrats released from Jeffrey Epstein and the correspondent between Michael Wolff, one of the biographers.

00:11And it didn't appear to be any smoking gun, did they, Jono, when it came to Donald Trump?

00:16And I think that this has probably given him a little bit of confidence as well as what Rawia says.

00:22We're seeing these massive cracks open up when it comes to the MAGA base.

00:26Because when Donald Trump was campaigning, he said we would release the Epstein files.

00:31And they haven't been released.

00:33And we've seen Peter Mandelson in the UK, obviously Prince Andrew too.

00:39So lots of people have been involved in the tentacles of the Epstein files.

00:44And there is, you have to question if there's the policy that it may have been to protect the victims,

00:49that that might have been why at that point you were holding back from releasing the full files.

00:54Virginia Dufresne and her statements that are in there say that Donald Trump was nothing but polite to her.

01:00So maybe the point that they were waiting until they were sure they could release these files without there being any backlash,

01:05to make 100% sure that there was going to be no issues, I guess.

01:09There may also be the element that there's other people who are listed in there as well.

01:12We don't know who is in there.

01:13We know Bill Clinton is in there.

01:15We know that Lex Wexner is in there as well.

01:17But you have to worry about who else might be in those documents that's in there.

01:21On the surface, it might look like the reversal is managing the political damage here.

01:25But it might be genuine transparency on the part of Donald Trump to think,

01:29I am safe in here.

01:31I've got nothing to hide, which is what he's reiterated again and again.

01:34And certainly from the leaked documents that you see, you would think that that might be the case.

01:38If the Democrats are picking and choosing what they're releasing,

01:41and what they've released so far have got nothing incriminating,

01:44you then have to wonder what else could possibly be in there that would be incriminating.

01:48Because you would take this as a perfect opportunity to take it down a peg or two,

01:52to hit the administration.

01:53You would assume that that would be the first thing they would release.

01:56If you had full access to it, then you would.

01:58Or you would have looked at it pre-election and said,

02:00the Democrats had access as well.

02:01They could have released it pre-election.

02:03In which case you would have said,

02:04if there's nothing in there that's damning,

02:06it wouldn't have affected the election.

02:07If there was, it would have made a very different election outcome, potentially.

02:12So I think you probably would have released them by now.

02:14So I think we're seeing some actual transparency

02:16on the part of the Trump administration at this point.

02:19Again, he's claimed over and over again, there's nothing to hide.

02:23The part from the Republicans is that they now want,

02:26there's this want to get this transparency through.

02:28And I feel like that appetite for that is what's forcing his hand on this situation.

02:33And there's been so many other things going on

02:34within the camp of the administration right now.

02:36He's gotten to it bit by bit,

02:38but I think this has been the one dog that hasn't stopped barking

02:40throughout the entire presidency.

02:42And we've had the JFK files.

02:44We've had the alien files that he wanted released.

02:47Everything except the Epstein files.

02:50And if you're to believe what the administration is saying,

02:53it was to protect victims up until this point.

02:55So that may be what we're seeing right now.

02:56And I think it's transparency that's required

02:59because otherwise he is at risk of losing

03:01some of his long-term followers.

03:02And you have to say that maybe it's the time.

03:10Let's go.

03:13Mm-hmm.

03:14You're welcome.

03:15You're welcome.

03:37Yes.
