not pretend but they can't uh they can't act as though something's not real until they get there and they find out for sure so that's why the swatting works but if you can't get rid of the swatting when you're the director of the fbi I don't think you and I are going to be able to stop it. So that's pretty awful.

Well, as you know, both Dan Bongino and Kash Patel have maintained that they've seen the Epstein files, and it was definitely a suicide. Now, my question would be this. If the only thing you've seen are the files... What would make you think the files are complete and real? How would you know that? Well, they would know better than I would, whether a document's real.

I'm sure it's all been looked at. But don't you think if someone had the ability to kill Epstein and make it look like suicide, hypothetically, would they not also have the access to make sure the file didn't show that they killed him?

It feels like a little bit incomplete, meaning, yeah, I hear you, and I believe Bongino and Patel are telling the truth, meaning, in their opinion, based on everything they've seen, it's a slam dunk, definitely a suicide. But would they know? Do you think that just their experience plus looking at the files Would that be enough that you know they have the right answer? I don't know.

It's a little bit short for me. But anyway, so he made some more news. He said that anybody expecting video evidence from Epstein's private island might be disappointed as no such footage exists to his knowledge. Really? What exactly does he mean by that? There's no video footage of a celebrity? Or he's saying there's no video footage of anything?

Now, suppose he said, Epstein definitely killed himself, and also there are no videos, and then nobody has any. Now, I don't know if he's saying that. It's a little unclear. But if he did say that, wouldn't you just believe the entire package? Because if he tells me there's no videos and there never have been, and nobody's had any, I'm not going to believe anything he ever says again.

Now, my current opinion is that they're straight shooters and they're looking out for the American public. But I also believe... that we live in a world where sometimes the security apparatus, the fate of the country,

can depend on not telling the the public everything so if they had to choose and i'm not saying they are but if they had to choose between keeping a secret that was so dark it would destroy the country versus telling you the truth because they're truth tellers which would they do Which would a patriot do? Because I'll give them the benefit of a doubt.

I think they've earned that they're both patriots. So the thing I worry about is not that they're honest, because I think they are. It's just that if you live in a world where keeping secrets is part of the operational expectation of what you do, I don't know if you can ever trust anybody whose job it is to make sure we don't find out things we're not supposed to find out.

right if somebody is a journalist and they have access to all the files and maybe you let a few journalists run free if they all came back and said all right we've looked at everything somehow they would know that you know that would be a problem would they know and they come back and they say all right we've looked at everything and uh it looks like it was a suicide and there's no there's no videotapes
