They think that may be the hardest part.

But they want some sense of acknowledgement

by this country that what happened to them was wrong and disgusting.

I do think that the House and Senate passing that was a big moment for survivors, if you watch the footage of them in tears and feeling hurt.

And by the way, for sexual assault survivors around the country saying, finally, the government is waking up and actually saying that there's a problem in this country.

But I think it will be a betrayal of all of that if these files remain stuck.

And until these files are released and they're released fully and we have some sense of accountability as a country, they're going to feel abandoned.

There needs to be a reckoning, a sense of justice before we can have people moving on and healing.

I think if this had been released 15 years ago, yes.

But I think some of these people are no longer actively in power.

They're towards the end of their careers.

They just want this to go away.

So now I think it can be exposed without that kind of disruption.

But will it cause

an enormous moral reckoning in this country.

I think we're going to be embarrassed and shocked and angry and disgusted with ourselves as a people that we allowed it to happen.

I think it's going to cause us to re-examine

potentially relationships around the world and what we what we allow to take place i think it's going to force us to re-examine the power that rich and powerful people have in this country over the justice system and a sense that there are elites who've gotten away with things you and i can't right most people they get a parking ticket they get a camera light ticket and their car will get booted if they don't pay the tickets right that's the life for 95 of americans

And then you got these 5% who are doing the most heinous things and laughing about it.

Another topic of non-inspiration.
