MUST LISTEN NOW: Hell Breaks Loose As Patel & Swalwell Fight Over Trump-Epstein Questions · Elon Musk Podcast

• 0:01
  Hey everybody. Welcome back to the Elon Musk
• 0:04
  Podcast. This is a show where we discuss
• 0:07
  the critical crossroads, the Shape, SpaceX, Tesla X, The
• 0:11
  Boring Company, and Neuralink. I'm your host, Will Walden.
• 0:16
  Gentlemen, Gentlemen from Kentucky is recognized for
• 0:18
  unanimous consent. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous
• 0:21
  consent to submit 2 sets of documents.
• 0:23
  The 1st is a series of emails from the victims of Jeffrey
• 0:27
  Epstein. They are making FOIA requests to
• 0:30
  get their own FBI files and not having any success.
• 0:33
  So I want to bring attention to that by submitting that to the
• 0:36
  record. The second document that I want
• 0:39
  to submit to the record for the record, I know we don't usually
• 0:43
  read these. This one's not readable.
• 0:47
  It's completely redacted for the most part, the 1st 50 pages.
• 0:53
  This is actually the search warrant that was served on James
• 0:56
  O'Keefe for a diary that he had already given to the government
• 1:01
  two months before. And as it turns out, there were
• 1:03
  no indictments here yet. He still doesn't know why he was
• 1:07
  raided and I think he deserves to know so.
• 1:10
  Objection. Thank you.
• 1:12
  Sheridan recognizes the gentleman from California.
• 1:16
  Director, the first time you saw Donald Trump's name was in the
• 1:18
  Epstein files. Did you close the files or keep
• 1:22
  reading? I've reviewed not the entirety
• 1:27
  of the files, so. I you haven't reviewed all of
• 1:31
  the Epstein files. Personally, no.
• 1:33
  You're the director of the FBI. This is the largest sex
• 1:36
  trafficking case the FBI has ever been a part of.
• 1:39
  Buck stops at the top and your testimony today is you have not
• 1:42
  reviewed all the files. What I've been doing is been
• 1:44
  busy providing the safest country this country has seen in
• 1:48
  modern U.S. history in historic speed because the men and women
• 1:50
  of the FBI are given the resources to reduce the homicide
• 1:53
  rate, to reduce the drug trafficking rate for to reduce
• 1:56
  the amount of children that are being trafficked and the number
• 1:59
  of. Sounds like those children being
• 2:00
  trafficked. Appreciate the director
• 2:01
  reviewing the files. You said you don't know the
• 2:04
  number of times Trump's name appears in the files, so it
• 2:07
  could at least be 1000 times, is that right?
• 2:10
  The number is a total misleading factor.
• 2:13
  We have not released anyone's name that we have not released
• 2:16
  anyone's file. That has not been credible.
• 2:19
  Director, we have. Released every piece of legally
• 2:22
  permissible information. You can characterize the numbers
• 2:25
  however you want. It claiming my time director, It
• 2:28
  sounds like if you don't know the number it could at least be
• 2:31
  1000 times, which it's not. It's not.
• 2:33
  Is it at least 500 times? No.
• 2:35
  Is it at least 100 times? No.
• 2:37
  Then what's the number? I don't know the number, but
• 2:38
  it's not that. Do you think it might be your
• 2:40
  job to know the number? My job is to provide for the
• 2:44
  safety and security of this country.
• 2:45
  My job is not to engage in political inando that you can go
• 2:49
  out to the sticks and get your 22nd hit and your fundraising
• 2:52
  article and keep going, reclaiming your time because the
• 2:55
  people of California are being underserved by your
• 2:58
  representation. Is not implicated.
• 2:59
  Why not release everything that involves?
• 3:01
  We have released everything, the president and anyone else's side
• 3:05
  that is credible and lawfully be able to be released.
• 3:08
  Your fixation on this matter and baseless accusations that I'm
• 3:12
  hiding files is disgusting. Anyone that says that needs to
• 3:16
  look at the stats alone and go back to the state of California
• 3:19
  who's receiving the biggest surge in FBI resources through
• 3:22
  my redeployment because the cities of Los Angeles, San Diego
• 3:25
  and San. Remembering your oath to tell
• 3:28
  the truth, Did you ever tell Donald Trump his name is in the
• 3:31
  files? I have never spoken to President
• 3:35
  Trump about the Epstein files. Did you ever tell the Attorney
• 3:39
  General that Donald Trump's name is in the Epstein files?
• 3:42
  The Attorney General and I have had numerous discussions about
• 3:44
  the entirety of the Epstein files and the reviews conducted
• 3:47
  by our. Team, did you tell the attorney
• 3:48
  general that Donald Trump's name is in the Epstein?
• 3:50
  Files and we have released where President Trump.
• 3:52
  It's a simple question. Did you tell the attorney
• 3:54
  general that the president's name is in the Epstein files?
• 3:57
  During many conversations that the Attorney General and I have
• 4:00
  had on the matter of Epstein, we have reviewed.
• 4:03
  The question is simple. Could you tell the attorney
• 4:08
  general that Donald Trump's name is in the Epstein files?
• 4:10
  Yes. Or.
• 4:11
  No. Why don't you try spelling it
• 4:12
  out? No.
• 4:13
  Direct the alphabet? Yes or no?
• 4:15
  No ABC. Director did it Sounds like you
• 4:18
  don't want to tell us. Did you tell the attorney
• 4:20
  general that Donald Trump's name was in the Epstein files?
• 4:22
  Why don't you try serving your constituency by focusing on
• 4:26
  reducing violent crime in this country and the number of
• 4:28
  pedophiles that are legally harbored in your sanctuary
• 4:31
  cities in California? I'll work with you on that
• 4:35
  regular. Order, Mr. Chairman.
• 4:37
  From California. Did you tell the Attorney
• 4:40
  General that Donald Trump's name is in the FC files?
• 4:42
  Question has been asked and answered.
• 4:44
  You've not answered it, and we will take your evasiveness as a
• 4:47
  consciousness of guilt. Director, did Donald Trump ever
• 4:50
  say to you, Just find and release the entire truth.
• 4:53
  Don't worry if I'm in it. The instructions from the
• 4:56
  administration were to release all credible information, and we
• 4:59
  have done that. Did Donald Trump ever provide
• 5:01
  information about Jeffrey Epstein as an informant?
• 5:05
  Donald Trump has not been, and I can only speak for the FBI, an
• 5:08
  informant of the FBI. So, director, you've played this
• 5:11
  cute shell game where you say you can't release everything
• 5:13
  because the court has said that it legally is not allowed to be
• 5:17
  released, but the court calls bullshit.
• 5:20
  Judge Richard Berman said that when you went to the court,
• 5:23
  quote, information contained in the Epstein grand jury
• 5:26
  transcripts, hails, hails in comparison to Epstein
• 5:32
  investigation information and materials in the hands of the
• 5:35
  Department of Justice. So let's move on.
• 5:39
  Director. You wrote a book called
• 5:40
  Government Gangsters. You identified 20 individuals in
• 5:43
  that book. You put me on that list at the
• 5:46
  top of the list. Thank you.
• 5:47
  My children find it flattering. 20 of those individuals have
• 5:51
  been investigated or have had adverse actions.
• 5:54
  Director, considering that you have identified these people as,
• 5:57
  quote, government gangsters, will you recuse yourself from
• 6:00
  making any investigation decisions about these
• 6:03
  individuals? Anyone that has been terminated,
• 6:05
  the FBI has been done so. The question.
• 6:07
  Of delta meet the muster in their constitutional.
• 6:09
  Obligation on the visual capabilities.
• 6:12
  I'm going to borrow your terminology and call bullshit on
• 6:14
  your entire career in Congress in a disgrace to the American.
• 6:19
  Reclaim your time all you want. Chairman, would you recuse
• 6:25
  yourself? As the gentleman has no touch,
• 6:27
  Chairman, would you admonish the witness not to insult Members?
• 6:31
  Gentleman has no touch with the Mr. Chairman.
• 6:32
  Just lady will remember. Point of order Could the
• 6:35
  gentleman be extended an additional 20 seconds to
• 6:37
  complete his thoughts since the witness decided to interrupt
• 6:40
  him? And the witness will be able to
• 6:42
  respond if he wants. We'll make sure.
• 6:44
  Thank you. My question, will you, Director,
• 6:47
  recuse yourself, yes or no, from investigating or making
• 6:50
  decisions about the 60 individuals, including myself,
• 6:54
  that you identified as government gangsters, yes or no?
• 6:56
  Time of the gentleman has expired.
• 6:58
  The witness may respond if he would like.
• 7:00
  And the answer was no, as I heard.
• 7:03
  Correct. OK.
