You know what upsets me, what pisses me off, is people like you go and take all this risk with your life in Iraq, in Afghanistan.
The guys, whatever you think of Venezuela, the guys who took the risk of their lives with that, they have this honor to the country, sacrifice for our values.
And you got rich and powerful people who think they've made a bunch of money who can exploit American girls or girls who are immigrants and have no consequence and get away with it.
It's un-American.
It's the most un-American, selfish,
that totally degrades the service of people who do things, honorable things, like wear the military uniform and serve the nation.
And that's why I want to stick it to them.
This whole Epstein class needs to go.
And to me, this is the biggest issue in American politics.
I mean, I'm biased, because it's something I've devoted, now, a lot of my life to, but if we're going to allow rich and powerful people to do whatever they want in this country, and what's more...
elite impunity than abusing a young girl, if you're gonna allow that, then you don't have a country, you don't have values, you don't have a democracy.
I suspect that it was.
What makes you believe that?
From survivors and survivors' lawyers.
I think that there are people that were rich and powerful folks who conveniently were given access to these parties or access to these girls.
Epstein, in turn, had a lot of information and a lot of contacts and was able to facilitate a lot of meetings.
Now, I don't know what his motive was.
Was he doing, what was he doing, who was he doing the bidding for?
That's why we need the files out.
You've got a background in intelligence, you'd have a better sense than me, but I know that it's not, something doesn't smell right.
