00:57We'll ask him which nickname he prefers, Shifty Schiff or Drifty Schiff,
01:00or my personal favorite, Tokyo Drifty Schiff.
01:03It's Senator Adam Schiff.

01:13who's going on to host his own Emmy Award-winning show,
01:15as well as the wonderful, wonderful show, Hassan Minhaj Doesn't Know.

01:23to which he replied, cute.
01:25It's Hassan Minhaj!
01:30Now for the biggest stories of the week, everybody.
01:34Amber, Senator, I'm going to show you some highlights
01:37from the week that was.
01:38You tell me what's the story.
01:41Okay, the Department of Justice,
01:43old man yap-a-lot,
01:44oh, no, Epstein, no!
01:48And redacted.
01:49This story is about Epstein
01:51and all the things he may or may not have done.
01:54I'm going to say he may have done them.
01:57Yeah.
01:58Let's get the first thing out the way off the top.
02:01Who, sitting right here...
02:03No!
02:04...right now,
02:06is in the Epstein files.
02:08Senator.
02:10Senator!
02:11You have Senator right here.
02:12What are you talking about?
02:12Only in newspaper articles, please.
02:15Yes.
02:15Who else?
02:18Michael, you were!
02:19Look at Michael!
02:20He was on the...
02:21Michael, look at me!
02:23Michael, make eye contact with me, Michael!
02:26So, this is true.
02:28This is true.
02:29Hassan,
02:29you and I are in the Epstein files.
02:32But, but, no,
02:33it's for doing political...
02:34Calm down.
02:35We're going to get to the why.
02:37Don't ever get to why
02:39and let me just enjoy it.
02:41No.
02:42No.
02:43I have to get to why.
02:44You're all nasty.
02:46No.
02:47Hassan and I are in the files
02:49for doing political comedy shows.
02:51Senator Schiff is in there
02:52for a bunch of news headlines.
02:54And Michael Ian Black is in there
02:55for his show
02:56on something called Crackle.
02:58Okay.
03:01So, uh, Amber,
03:02it looks like
03:02you are the odd one out
03:04when it comes to
03:05who's in the Epstein files.
03:08Now, we've had about a week
03:09to take in all of this.
03:09Wait a second.
03:10This is...
03:11Bro,
03:13we're boys.
03:15And you text me,
03:16hey, come on the show.
03:20And you're going to ambush, like...
03:22You're going to ambush me
03:23in act one with...
03:25A comedian friend of mine.
03:26I mean...
03:27Who's in the Epstein files?
03:28I'm like...
03:29Hey, how do you think I feel?
03:32Senator, you know
03:33what you signed up for.
03:35It's me and him.
03:38It's not you.
03:39We in it.
03:40Fair.
03:41It's we.
03:42Right, we're in this together.
03:44They're clearly playing a version
03:46of Hide the Slime Ball
03:47with all these redactions.
03:49but the fact that they dig up
03:50you and Crackle.
03:52Mm-hmm.
03:53That they can find,
03:55but all the other stuff
03:57ends up redacted.
03:58Right.
03:59Nobody has ever even heard
04:01of this streaming platform, Crackle.
04:06But somehow,
04:07I'm in the goddamn Epstein files.
04:12Senator Schiff,
04:13can you remind us exactly,
04:15like, of, you know,
04:15how did that happen
04:16and what giant trove
04:18came out of, um,
04:19last week's release?
04:20Well, you'll remember
04:22during the campaign,
04:23Trump and the people around him
04:24were promising
04:25they were going to release the files,
04:27they were going to finally
04:27have transparency.
04:29Trump gets into office,
04:30it's the last thing that he wants.
04:32Now, let's get into
04:33the details of these files
04:34a little bit more
04:35with a game I like to call
04:38Remember 2008?
04:40If you don't remember 2008,
04:42it was a seminal year.
04:43It was Barack Obama's
04:44first term in office,
04:45Iron Man dropped,
04:46starting the whole Marvel Empire,
04:47and a gentleman named Flo Rida
04:49reminded us to get low,
04:51low, low, low.
04:53Uh, does anyone know
04:54what else happened in 2008?
04:57Is that the year, uh,
04:57Epstein first went to prison
04:59for soliciting, uh, uh,
05:01sex from a child?
05:02Points for you!
05:03Oh, that's good.
05:05That's impressive.
05:072008 was the year
05:08Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty
05:09to solicitation of prostitution
05:11with a minor
05:12and was sentenced
05:13to 18 months in prison.
05:16So, if people hang out
05:17with Jeffrey Epstein
05:18before 2008,
05:20maybe he's just
05:20a weird, rich guy,
05:22but if people hang out
05:23with him after 2008,
05:26they're hanging out
05:27with a dude
05:27who admitted
05:28to soliciting sex
05:29with kids.
05:30So, let's start off easy.
05:32Who is that?
05:33Howard Lutnick.
05:34Yeah, that's Trump's
05:35commerce secretary,
05:35and, um,
05:36he kind of looked like
05:37your mama's first boyfriend
05:38after a divorce.
05:40We've talked previously
05:41on the show
05:42about Lutnick
05:43and the whole relationship
05:44with Epstein.
05:45They live next door to him.
05:46And so, in 2005,
05:48he had a little chit-chat
05:49with Epstein.
05:502005.
05:52Is that before
05:53or after 2008?
05:54Before.
05:56Yes, it is before.
05:57So, maybe Lutnick
05:58didn't know
05:59what Epstein was up to,
06:00and here's what Lutnick
06:02most famously said
06:03about his 2005 visit,
06:05uh, with Epstein.
06:06My wife and I decided
06:08that I will never
06:09be in the room
06:11with that disgusting person
06:13ever again.
06:14So, I was never
06:16in the room with him
06:17socially,
06:19for business,
06:20or even philanthropy.
06:22If that guy was there,
06:23I wasn't going
06:24because he's gross.
06:27Good for him.
06:28That's right.
06:29You know what?
06:30I'm revising my opinion
06:31about Howard Lutnick.
06:32Here, I thought,
06:33this guy was just
06:35a greasy,
06:36grifting,
06:37corrupt,
06:38money-laundering
06:39commerce secretary.
06:41But now I know
06:42that he's a man
06:44of high moral fiber.
06:45Roy?
06:46Here's CBS News
06:47with the answer.
06:48Commerce Secretary
06:49Howard Lutnick
06:50arranged a visit
06:50to Epstein's island
06:51with his wife
06:52and children in 2012,
06:54after which,
06:54Epstein passed along
06:55this message to Lutnick.
06:57Nice seeing you.
06:58Okay, but 2012
06:59is before 2008,
07:01like we said.
07:03Like, why would you,
07:04hey, man,
07:05nice seeing you.
07:06Like, you would never
07:07email your drug dealer
07:08after buying a drug.
07:09Hey, thank you
07:10for the drugs again.
07:13We learned about
07:14this guy
07:14in the Epstein files.
07:16Pitbull.
07:17Senator, any guesses
07:18on who that is?
07:20Uh, did someone
07:21say Pitbull?
07:22I didn't.
07:23That is the new
07:24CBS medical
07:25correspondent,
07:26Peter Attila,
07:27hired by the terrific
07:28Barry Weiss.
07:29Yes, that is
07:29celebrity doctor
07:30and part-time
07:31Vin Diesel impersonator,
07:33Peter Attila,
07:34and, uh,
07:35he recently got
07:36a new job
07:36and he really
07:37wanted to keep
07:38that job.
07:39The Epstein files
07:39also show hundreds
07:40of references
07:41to the name
07:41of author
07:42Peter Attila,
07:43who was recently
07:44hired as a CBS
07:45News contributor,
07:46including a crude
07:47sexual message
07:48by Attila.
07:49Attila posted
07:50a statement apologizing
07:51and saying he was
07:52not involved
07:52in any criminal
07:53activity.
07:54Paramount Skydance,
07:55owner of CBS News,
07:57did not immediately
07:57respond to my request
07:58for comment.
07:59Isn't he at CBS?
08:01Ask yourself.
08:03We've all been at work
08:04and you get the,
08:05can we chat?
08:08Do you think maybe
08:09there's just so many
08:10people in the Epstein
08:11files that they're like,
08:13man, 90% of the people
08:15on this panel
08:16are in the Epstein files?
08:19Do you think they're
08:20just like,
08:21it'll come for all
08:22of us eventually?
08:23The Epstein files
08:23are like death.
08:26It turns out
08:27that Tia's name
08:28is mentioned
08:29in the Epstein files
08:29more than 1,700 times
08:33according to
08:34Atiyah's own book.
08:35I haven't read
08:36Peter Atiyah's book,
08:37I'll be honest.
08:38Okay.
08:39I've got several
08:40copies of it,
08:41but I haven't read it yet.
08:43Atiyah tried to make
08:44a date with Epstein
08:45while his baby
08:47was in the ICU.
08:49Oh, Jesus.
08:50In his book,
08:51Outlive,
08:52Atiyah says his wife
08:53called him on Tuesday,
08:54July 11th.
08:55She was on her way
08:56to the hospital
08:57where their baby
08:58then stayed
08:58for four days.
08:59Instead of going
09:00to be with them,
09:01it appears that
09:02Atiyah got up
09:03the next morning
09:04and made a date
09:05with Jeffrey Epstein.
09:07Now,
09:07according to Atiyah,
09:08he did not come home
09:09to San Diego
09:10until 10 days later.
09:13No!
09:13Here's celebrity doctor
09:14and husband of the year
09:16himself.
09:17She's sitting here
09:17with my wife right now
09:18and she put the question
09:20to me,
09:20do you think
09:22any other woman
09:23could be married to you?
09:26I responded,
09:28absolutely.
09:29I'm a catch.
09:30I think lots of women
09:32could be married to me.
09:33Ten days!
09:34Ten days!
09:36That means he has,
09:37like,
09:37no regard
09:39for children,
09:39of course.
09:40I got there.
09:41I got there myself.
09:43How is Peter Atiyah
09:44being held accountable
09:45for his actions,
09:46Haasem?
09:47I'm assuming none.
09:48There's no accountability.
09:49That's just my hot take.
09:50Yeah, well,
09:51if we're talking about
09:52accountability for Peter Atiyah,
09:53the answer is that
09:54there will be no accountability.
09:56According to the L.A. Times,
09:57Peter Atiyah will be
09:58keeping his job
09:59at CBS.
10:06Hear that?
10:07It's the ghosts
10:07of all the people
10:08in the Epstein file.
10:11CBS has a new
10:13editorial policy,
10:14which is to say
10:15no policy anything
10:17goes, apparently.
10:18Mm-hmm.
10:19Anything that doesn't
10:20displease the president
10:21is their policy.
10:23Let it roll.
10:24Let's talk about a guy
10:25who is experiencing
10:26some degree of consequences
10:27for his relationship
10:28with Epstein,
10:29and that's the former
10:30chairman of the
10:31Paul Weiss law firm,
10:32Brad Karp.
10:33Brad corresponded
10:34with Epstein in 2016,
10:36and he had a special request.
10:38In one email exchange,
10:40Karp appears to ask
10:41Epstein for help,
10:42getting his son a job
10:43on a Woody Allen movie.
10:45Epstein-Woody Allen
10:46crossover.
10:49That's like
10:50Freddy versus Jason.
10:52Like...
10:53You remember that?
10:54Alien, Predator, like...
10:55Except it's just
10:56Predator versus Predator.
10:59Now, why might
11:00the Paul Weiss law firm
11:02sound familiar?
11:03This is when
11:04when Trump first
11:05came into office, right?
11:06There were a bunch
11:06of law offices
11:07that, rather than
11:08get sued by Trump,
11:09said, we'll just do
11:10pro bono work for you
11:11into the tune
11:12of hundreds of millions
11:13of dollars,
11:13and they were the
11:14first one to do that?
11:15Yes.
11:16Oh, no.
11:16Wait, so they were
11:17like the ACLU
11:18for corruption?
11:18Is that what you're saying?
11:21That's exactly
11:21what it was.
11:22It was part of
11:23a legal deal
11:23to give tens of millions
11:24of dollars
11:25in free legal work
11:26to cause us
11:26backed by Donald Trump.
11:28Now, for double point,
11:29who was the person
11:30who brokered that deal?
11:32Same dude, Brad.
11:34Yes.
11:35I was sure
11:35it was going to be
11:36Woody Allen.
11:39Now, let's move on
11:40to our old pal
11:41Elon Musk.
11:42Aw.
11:44Don't, boo.
11:45Sometimes it's good
11:45to see a familiar,
11:46creepy-looking person.
11:49When the new
11:50trove of files
11:50came out,
11:52Musk tweeted, quote,
11:53Epstein hounded me
11:54relentlessly to go
11:55to his pedo island
11:56and I always declined.
11:59Question.
12:01Is that what
12:02the emails really say?
12:05Please no
12:06and please show it now.
12:08This appears
12:08to be an email
12:09from Elon Musk
12:10to Epstein in 2012
12:11asking,
12:13what day night
12:14will be the wildest
12:15party on your island?
12:16Musk, who repeatedly
12:17has called for the release
12:18of an Epstein client list,
12:20denies any wrongdoing.
12:21Writing over the weekend,
12:22if I actually wanted
12:23to spend my time
12:24partying with young women,
12:26it would be trivial
12:27for me to do so
12:28without the help
12:29of a creepy loser
12:30like Epstein.
12:31I could throw
12:31my own creepy party.
12:35That's what I heard.
12:36I feel like that's
12:37what I heard, right?
12:37That is exactly
12:38what you're heard.
12:39Okay, all right.
12:39So we've heard from Elon,
12:40we've heard from Peter,
12:41we've heard from Brad,
12:42we've heard from everybody.
12:44Who's one person
12:44we have yet to hear from?
12:46Is it the president
12:47of the United States?
12:49Oh, yeah.
12:54It is President Trump.
12:55We haven't talked
12:56about Donald Trump yet
12:57because Trump has been
12:58busy generating headlines
13:00like,
13:01no credible evidence
13:02president pooped himself
13:03during executive silence.
13:06For the record,
13:07if they have to release
13:07a story saying,
13:08you for sure
13:09did not poop your pants.
13:11You know, people,
13:13people do ask me
13:15whether when I'm around him
13:17it seems like
13:17he's wearing diapers.
13:18And my answer is always
13:20the same,
13:20depends.
13:29That's why you watch
13:31this show.
13:33What was Trump's reaction
13:34earlier in the week
13:35to the document dump?
13:37He shit his pants.
13:40According to the president,
13:42yeah, the files are out there,
13:44but it's time to move on.
13:45I think it's really time
13:47for the country
13:47to get on to something else.
13:49Now that nothing came out
13:51about me
13:52other than
13:53there was a conspiracy
13:54against me,
13:55literally,
13:56by Epstein
13:56and other people.
13:57But now let's get to
13:58why it took them
13:59so damn long
14:01to release the files.
14:03What is the reason
14:04the administration
14:05is giving?
14:05It certainly seems
14:06like what happened,
14:07and this is just speculation,
14:09but the president
14:10or his advisers said,
14:12just push it all out
14:14at once.
14:15And he was probably told,
14:16and they were probably told
14:17because how could
14:18they be so blind?
14:19Well, that will release
14:20hundreds of names
14:22of victims
14:22thousands and thousands
14:23of times.
14:24Somebody must have said,
14:26we don't care.
14:27And if you're wondering
14:28how all of that
14:29redactant went,
14:30here's a lawyer
14:31for one of the
14:32Epstein survivors.
14:33What is very clear
14:34is that the DOJ
14:35has disregarded
14:36the well-being
14:37of the survivors.
14:38One of my clients
14:38was named 538 times
14:41in the latest release
14:43of Epstein files.
14:44Now, when we talk
14:45about ineptitude
14:46within this administration,
14:47I respectfully want
14:48to push back
14:49a little bit
14:50on you there, Senator,
14:51because, you know,
14:52Deputy Attorney General
14:53Todd Blanche
14:54commented a little bit
14:55about all of this.
14:56And if you don't know
14:57who Todd Blanche is,
14:58Todd Blanche is a man
14:59who appears to have
15:00been born literally yesterday.
15:02Is the public
15:03going to learn
15:04the identities
15:05of the men
15:06who abused the girls
15:08with the information
15:09that you're releasing?
15:10You just baked in
15:11an assumption
15:11into your question
15:12that I have never said
15:13and I don't know
15:14to be true.
15:14Is the public
15:15going to learn
15:16about men
15:17that abused these girls?
15:19Like, what does that mean?
15:20I don't understand
15:21what that means.
15:22He got confused
15:23about the word man.
15:26What did you mean
15:27by that question
15:27that had all the information
15:28and it ends
15:29with the question mark?
15:30What's that about?
15:32I met with him
15:33the day or the week
15:34before his confirmation hearing.
15:36And I said...
15:36What a name drop
15:37this guy is.
15:38Can you believe it?
15:41I just have one question
15:42and that is
15:42what are you going to do
15:43the first time
15:44you're asked
15:45to do something
15:47unlawful, immoral?
15:48What are you going to do?
15:49Because that decision
15:50is going to define
15:51the rest of your legacy.
15:52And he gave an answer
15:53which I would subsequently hear
15:54from every other nominee
15:56which was
15:57I don't think I'll ever
15:58be put in that position.
16:00And then you get
16:01to this scene
16:02where he's decided
16:03I'm all in.
16:05I've totally
16:05screwed my reputation.
16:06I might as well be
16:07all in for this guy
16:09and he is.
16:10And it's such
16:11a human tragedy
16:12and it's a national tragedy.
16:14Oh my God
16:15what a compassionate
16:16way to look at it.
16:19I'm looking at that guy
16:20being like
16:21you raggedy bitch.
16:28I have to admit
16:28your interpretation
16:29is better.
16:31Senator Schiff
16:32what do you say
16:33to all the people
16:33out there
16:34who are furious
16:35about this
16:36and just want
16:37Congress to do something?
16:39Yeah.
16:40It's obviously not
16:41going to happen
16:41under this administration.
16:43We're going to continue
16:44to fight to
16:46get these materials out
16:48make sure there is
16:49accountability
16:51during this administration
16:52at least in the form
16:53of exposure.
16:55And I understand
16:56the victims out there
16:58have every reason
16:59to be skeptical
17:00because they haven't
17:02seen it yet.
17:02And by the way
17:03they didn't see it
17:04during the Biden
17:04administration either.
17:05Yep that's true.
17:06That's true.
17:07Their skepticism
17:08is well deserved.
17:10But we're just
17:12going to have to
17:12keep fighting
17:13to make sure
17:13that it happens.
17:24Michael and Hassan
17:25watch the clip.
17:26Tell me
17:27what is the story?
17:29Oh Fulton County.
17:30That's in Georgia?
17:32The FBI is going
17:33into Fulton County
17:35to find out
17:36if there was
17:36voter fraud.
17:37Yes the story is
17:39Trump is teasing
17:40a government takeover
17:42of our local elections
17:43in advance
17:45of the fall midterms.
17:46Now thankfully
17:46Virginia Senator
17:47Mark Warner
17:48has some strong words
17:49for the president.
17:50It's beyond wacky.
17:52That's right.
17:53It's wacky.
17:53It's kooky.
17:55It's zany.
17:56The story started
17:57years ago
17:58but it really blew up
17:59last week
18:00when the FBI
18:00took that midnight train
18:02down to Georgia.
18:03FBI agents this week
18:05descended on the Fulton County
18:06elections office
18:07near Atlanta
18:08seizing ballots
18:09voter rolls
18:10and scanner images
18:11even though investigations
18:13have found
18:13zero evidence
18:14to support
18:15Trump's false claims
18:16of election fraud.
18:18Now if you don't
18:19find the evidence
18:21that means you still
18:22keep doing it right
18:22it's kind of like
18:23when your mom
18:24tells you like
18:24it's in the drawer
18:25and you're like
18:26mom it's not
18:27she goes
18:28you better check
18:28that drawer
18:30one element
18:31that's drawn
18:32a lot of scrutiny
18:32is the involvement
18:34of the director
18:34of national intelligence
18:36yes former
18:37Miss Pepe Le Pew
18:38Tulsi Gabbard
18:41what was Tulsi Gabbard
18:42doing down there
18:43in Georgia?
18:44It's a great question
18:45Roy
18:45and the answer
18:46is obvious
18:48nobody knows
18:49she says
18:50she went down there
18:51because Trump
18:52told her to go down there
18:53Trump says
18:54he didn't tell her
18:55to go down there
18:56Pam Bondi
18:57told her to go down there
18:58I'm guessing
18:59she went down there
19:00because Satan
19:01sent her down there
19:03you want answers
19:05as to why Tulsi
19:05was down there
19:06the one person
19:07you don't need to ask
19:09Deputy Attorney General
19:10Todd Blanche
19:11why was the director
19:13of national intelligence
19:14Tulsi Gabbard
19:15present at a
19:16an FBI raid?
19:20first of all
19:21it wasn't an FBI raid
19:23it was a search warrant
19:25being executed
19:26by FBI agents
19:27in the middle of the day
19:28why was she there?
19:29and secondly
19:30I don't
19:32secondly
19:33I don't know
19:33why the director
19:35was there
19:35this wasn't a raid
19:37this was FBI agents
19:39and FBI jackets
19:40over the opposition
19:42of Fulton County
19:43authorities
19:44barging in
19:45seizing ballot boxes
19:47oh wait a minute
19:47that is a raid
19:48yeah
19:50well Tulsi
19:51did something
19:52that was a little
19:52unusual
19:53in the midst
19:54of all the criticism
19:55she did a perfectly
19:57normal four page
19:58letter explaining
19:59why she went
20:00to Georgia
20:01and it wasn't
20:02just to go
20:02to the Coca-Cola
20:03museum
20:04she told lawmakers
20:05quote
20:06my presence
20:07was requested
20:07by the president
20:09of Russia
20:12why doesn't that
20:14add up
20:14because Trump
20:15said he didn't
20:16send her
20:17that's what I heard
20:19Trump says
20:20Pam Bondi
20:21was the one
20:22that sent
20:23Tulsi Gabbard
20:23to Georgia
20:24here's the president
20:25on Thursday
20:26after Tulsi
20:27sent her letter
20:27they say
20:28why is she doing it
20:30right Pam
20:30why is she doing it
20:32because Pam
20:33wanted her to do it
20:34she threw Pam
20:35under the bus
20:35that's like
20:36when you ever
20:36I don't know
20:37if you've ever been
20:37in police interrogation
20:38and you snitching
20:39on your partner
20:39the whole time
20:43never mind
20:44let's
20:44you know
20:45what thing happened
20:46during the FBI raid
20:48that would suggest
20:48that Trump had
20:49more knowledge
20:49of the raid
20:50than what he alleges
20:51in the clip
20:52we just showed
20:53Gabbard literally
20:53called him
20:54right after the raid
20:55and said
20:56hey talk to the FBI
20:57guys they're big fans
20:58right
20:58points
21:00according to the
21:00New York Times
21:01in a meeting
21:02at the bureau's
21:03Atlanta field office
21:04right after the raid
21:05quote
21:06the president addressed
21:07the agents
21:07on speakerphone
21:08asking them questions
21:09as well as praising
21:10and thanking them
21:12for their work
21:13on the inquiry
21:14wait speakerphone
21:16why is espionage
21:17so sloppy
21:18in Tulsi's defense
21:19it was her shoe phone
21:22Senator Mark Warner
21:24doesn't think
21:25Trump should have
21:25taken the call
21:26at all
21:27somebody in the
21:28White House
21:28doesn't know
21:29the basic tenets
21:30of the constitution
21:31or what the role
21:32of the president
21:32is in a domestic
21:34criminal investigation
21:35it's wacky
21:36it's beyond wacky
21:37it's practically
21:38quixotic
21:39this isn't just
21:41about Georgia
21:42in a Thursday night
21:43tweet storm
21:43Trump posted

21:52talking about
21:53what he tweeted
21:54uh question
21:55what about the video
21:57made people's jaw

22:19that is right

22:34former president
22:35Barack Obama
22:36and first lady
22:37Michelle Obama
22:38as apes
22:39now we're choosing
22:40not to show it
22:40but the images appear
22:41at the end of a video
22:42that pushes false claims
22:44that voting machines
22:45helped steal
22:46the 2020 election
22:47now if you delete it

23:31getting it mixed up
23:32because he made them
23:33racist Rafiki
23:34and that's not cool
23:36I'm feeling doubly upset
23:37first with the horrible
23:38racist nature
23:39of what they posted
23:40but in that video
23:41if you see the original video
23:43I am portrayed
23:44as a giraffe
23:47well aren't you lucky

23:51but they didn't use
23:53my best getty image

23:57justification
23:57for the
23:59racism

24:08the fake outrage
24:09and report on something
24:10today that actually matters
24:12to the American public
24:14they love to deliberately
24:16provoke
24:17it distracts from other
24:19problems that they have
24:19they wait
24:20and they see
24:21whether the outrage
24:22is bipartisan
24:23in this case
24:24they did get bipartisan
24:25pushback
24:25and they decided
24:26okay
24:27there are some
24:28friends of ours
24:29who are
24:30we're making their life
24:31difficult
24:31so let's just
24:33take it down
24:33in the midst of everything
24:34that's been going on
24:36with the Epstein files
24:37Trump has been saying
24:39that there's something
24:39he wants to do
24:41with our elections
24:44what is it exactly
24:45the president plans
24:46for our elections panel
24:47he wants to hold
24:48the elections in Greenland
24:50the president wants
24:51to nationalize
24:52our elections
24:53here's Trump
24:53in the Oval Office
24:54this week
24:55I don't know why
24:55the federal government
24:56doesn't do them anyway
24:57look at the facts
24:58that are coming out
25:00rigged crooked elections
25:01if we have areas
25:02take a look at Detroit
25:04take a look at Pennsylvania
25:06take a look at Philadelphia
25:08you go take a look
25:09look at Atlanta
25:09so just take a look
25:10at Democratic cities
25:12where black people
25:13vote for Democrats
25:13is what he's saying
25:16in addition to Trump
25:17saying that about
25:18nationalized elections
25:19you also had Epstein
25:20Bestie and a parent
25:21podcaster Steve Bannon
25:23who had this to say
25:24about the matter
25:24you're damn right
25:26we're going to have
25:26ice surround the polls
25:28come November
25:29we're not going to
25:30sit here and allow you
25:31to steal the country again
25:32and you can whine and cry
25:35and throw your toys
25:36out of the pram
25:36all you want
25:37but we will never
25:39again allow
25:40an election
25:41to be stolen
25:41what the hell
25:42does ice have to do
25:43with elections
25:44anyway
25:45they're immigration
25:46and customs
25:46unless you want to
25:47use them for voter
25:47intimidation
25:48I do
25:49you want to
25:49intimidate
25:51could it happen
25:52could they be
25:52deployed that way
25:54you can't rule
25:55anything out
25:55I think if they do
25:56that it's going to
25:57be like Minneapolis
25:58times 10,000
26:00in polling places
26:01all over this country
26:03I think he would
26:04just increase
26:04voter turnout
26:05people aren't
26:06going to take that
26:07we need to turn out
26:08in such massive numbers
26:09we need to run up
26:10the margin of our
26:11victory so big
26:12that they can't
26:13contest it
26:14and our response
26:15has to be
26:16hell no
26:17we are going to
26:18oppose you
26:18with everything we can
26:20we're going to
26:21show you that

28:22would order them
28:23to bring her
28:24liquor after midnight
28:25make them help
28:27with house chores
28:28and her staff
28:29had to create
28:30burner accounts
28:31to defend her
28:32online
28:32and
28:33she had them
28:34go on Reddit forums
28:35about the hottest
28:36women in Congress
28:37and boost her standings
28:40in the rankings
28:42what excuse
28:43did Nancy Mace
28:45give
28:45for all of this
28:46misbehaving
28:47allegedly
28:48well she denied
28:49all of it
28:49so that's her excuse
28:50she lied
28:51she denied it all
28:53specifically
28:54she said
28:55there's no way
28:55the accusations
28:56about her drinking
28:57could ever be true
28:59I had to come out
29:00with a genetic condition
29:02that I've had
29:02I've had of all my life
29:03I'm not allowed
29:04to drink or consume
29:05much in the way
29:05of alcohol
29:06it's called
29:07hemochromatosis
29:07if you do
29:08it'll destroy your organs
29:10and you'll die
29:11at an early age
29:12and I love life
29:13and I love living
29:14yeah I love life
29:14I love living
29:15also white claws
29:16don't count
29:16right
29:19the drinking is like
29:20hey
29:20this is a stressful job
29:22the burner accounts
29:23is like
29:24you're really getting
29:24to me comment section
29:26get on reddit
29:27and tell them
29:28I'm pretty
29:30tell them I'm cute
29:32use the word
29:33voluptuous
29:35get to it
29:37baldrape79
29:39so you say
29:40you have a condition
29:40where you can't drink
29:41but what is the problem
29:43with the Nancy Mace
29:44using a
29:44I can't drink defense
29:46I'll bet
29:47it's because
29:47that condition
29:48doesn't prevent you
29:49from drinking
29:50I'm gonna say
29:51that condition
29:52doesn't exist
29:53you made it up
29:54I like yours better
29:55now Nancy Mace
29:56may have this
29:57genetic condition
29:58but hemochromatosis
29:59doesn't mean
29:59you can't drink
30:01and we know
30:02that this has not
30:03prevented Nancy Mace
30:04from drinking
30:05because Nancy Mace
30:07has been appearing
30:07all over
30:09social media
30:10with what
30:11definitely looks like
30:13alcohol
30:15if you're gonna claim
30:16you don't drink
30:17don't go out in public
30:18and be seen drinking
30:20but if you do
30:21you probably don't want
30:22to wear your member pin
30:23that's just
30:24my advice
30:25so
30:26Mace has been
30:27an online character
30:28for years
30:29and she became a meme
30:30in December of 2024
30:32it was because of this tweet
30:34let's just start
30:34with the tweet
30:35kids and their dad
30:36took me out for barbecue
30:37for my birthday
30:3847 never
30:40felt so good
30:41well happy birthday
30:42to me
30:42why did that poster
30:43go viral
30:44she's not 47
30:45let's go back
30:46to the picture
30:46take a long look
30:48at that picture panel
30:49and ask yourself
30:49why did this picture
30:51go viral
30:52is it because
30:53she doesn't have
30:54any meat
30:54but she's at
30:55a barbecue place
30:56it's because
30:57people couldn't
30:58stop looking
30:59at the sloppy
31:00cardboard container
31:01of wet beans
31:04Mace's critics
31:05immediately latched
31:06on to the beans
31:07saying things like
31:08quote
31:09this photo
31:10kind of explains
31:10why she's so
31:11passionate about
31:12bathrooms
31:13then there were
31:14photoshopped images
31:15of Nancy
31:16drinking beans
31:19and then some people
31:20didn't even photoshop
31:21they just flat out
31:22just said
31:22stuff to her online
31:23they just said
31:24that's a lot of beans

33:05performance that
33:06conservatives have
33:06been freaking out
33:07about

33:22while living in
33:23florida senator
33:24tommy tuberville
33:25i call it the woke
33:26bowl because we're
33:27getting more and more
33:28woke and we've got
33:29bad bunny or bad rabbit
33:30at halftime
33:31i'll be watching the
33:32tp usa

33:36unfortunate we've
33:37gotten to this point
33:38there are three great
33:39things about bad bunny
33:40performing
33:41one is he's going to be
33:42there
33:42one is tuberville is not
33:45going to be there
33:45and donald trump is not
33:47going to be there so
33:48there are three great
33:49things about the super
33:50bowl
33:51conservatives have
33:53already said that
33:53they're not going to
33:54be watching the woke
33:55bowl instead they're

34:19the login and then
34:20you realize you don't

38:45please don't
38:47you know the suit very tight fitting
38:49right
38:50if you inject and you add length what happens is you create an effect a sail under your suit
38:57so as you're going like this you're actually getting more lift and it increases your distance
39:04oh my god
39:08so there need to be more black ski jumpers
39:14here's the bbc explaining exactly what the injection does
39:18it can be used to increase penis circumference by one or two centimeters if your suit has a five percent
39:23bigger surface area you fly further
