Okay, as you all know, it has been one hell of a news day, and we have an unbelievable group of guests to help us make sense of it with. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was here tonight. My bet is he has some thoughts on Donald Trump's plans to try and steal the next election in his state, which is one of the favorite states that Donald Trump likes to target.
And speaking of humiliating defeats, one of the Democratic lawmakers who Trump's Justice Department just tried and failed to indict on baseless charges of seditious conspiracy is going to join me tonight as well. And I just mentioned this to Chris, but Congressman Jamie Raskin, who grilled Attorney General Pam Bondi today in a way that really only he can. I almost think he enjoys this. these many-hour, multi-hour hearings, is sitting here. He's going to join me at the table for an exclusive interview about one of the wildest congressional hearings I have ever seen. And, you know, don't just take that from me, because the reviews are in for Bondi's one-woman, wild, crazy show on Capitol Hill today.
And this AP headline, there were a lot, but this AP headline kind of sums it up, if you didn't see it. Bondi deflected questions on Epstein files across five-hour hearing. It wasn't really—that's just the headline, because it wasn't just that she deflected. It was how she deflected that made it so embarrassing for her. In fact, at times, Bondi was so obnoxious and so disruptive that she had to be repeatedly, if gently, blocked by Jim Jordan from shouting over her questioners. And that is how it was covered. I mean, Jim Jordan is the voice of reason. You kind of know things are going off the rails. Even Pam Bondi's typical cheerleaders tried to literally look away. I mean, according to Mediaite, Fox News declined to carry almost all of the proceedings live or give them the kind of sustained real-time attention that signals an event truly matters.
Let's just say if Donald Trump's attorney general was absolutely crushing it there in that hearing today, Fox News would have played the entire thing. They would be doing analysis about how she crushed it. That is not what they're doing. Listen, I've prepped a lot of people for these hearings, as I was just saying to Chris. I have watched hundreds of them. And this one is, well, pretty easy to analyze. Because over the course of those five hours, Attorney General Pambani made an absolute fool of herself, evading questions, tirelessly shouting down lawmakers, talking back and even resorting to name-calling, all while attempting some of the most ridiculous and poorly executed diversions I have ever seen.
But why just read you the reviews? I just wanted to start there when I can take you to the actual show. Here is Pam Bondi being asked a very simple question about why the Justice Department has not brought new charges against anyone in the Epstein files. So I really have just one question for you. How many of Epstein's co-conspirators have you indicted? How many perpetrators are you even investigating? This administration released over 3 million pages of documents, over 3 million, and Donald Trump signed that law to release all of those documents. He is the most transparent president in the nation's history. And none of them, none of them, ask Merrick Garland over the last four years one word about Jeffrey Epstein.
How ironic is that? You know why? Because Donald Trump, the Dow, the Dow right now is over, the Dow is over $50,000. I don't know why you're laughing. I mean, I don't know why more people weren't laughing in exasperation at the absurdity of her answer.
