And it literally looked, I don't know how to describe it, but I felt I was truly watching some, I don't know, something like in a hospice care situation where the nurse was trying to help the patient remember the days where they may have gotten awards.
Hey, I got an award for you.
It's called the Year of the Best Award, everybody.
And I'm like, what are we doing here?
So what's the vibe?
You sit on the House Oversight Committee.
There have been numerous depositions recently of Epstein's former accountant, Kahn, former lawyer, Indyk, which led to information about private investigative firms hoarding potentially these hard drives.
that were never turned over to the department of justice when there were you know the criminal investigations into epstein i mean that sounds to me like the craziest thing ever that they would not get these hard drives but again we know that there are millions and millions of documents that are still missing and then there are these potential hard drives and i know the house oversight committee is taking steps to try to reach out to these private investigative firms what can you tell us about that
You know, we're getting poll after poll showing Donald Trump's approval sinking to record lows.
I believe, actually, the work that you and Congressmember Garcia and Congressmember Khanna and so many others, Representative Stansberry, so many others on the House Oversight Committee, the work that you've done on the Epstein files was really, to me, one of the first major breaking points.
I mean, yes, there were things happening in 2025 where Trump was sinking.
His tariffs against the world were unpopular.
But getting that from that 37, 38 to starting to see the drops in the low 30s and the 20s to get to that next level, I think that started opening up the eyes to even people in his base and some independents saying, wow, if they're lying about child sex trafficking, they're going to lie about literally everything.
And it opened up their minds to start saying, were they lying about this?
And using the same analytical framework, which to me is just opening up your eyes.
That's a framework they saw.
okay got it i've been lied to here here here and here and so i bring that up because you know redistricting in virginia major issue i want to hear from you about it but it has these broad implications because voters are outraged but there's just so much going on right now
because of all the efforts of like what trump started to do with his texas gerrymander so it's a little bit just confusing out there you know so break down the importance of the virginia redistricting for us and given all we're seeing with the landscape throughout the country and trump's decreasing popularity and maga's decreasing popularity why it's so important that we focus on it
It's just fascinating, though.
Democrats do it by a public referendum.
