We start off with something that can help you this morning. Support comes from Z-Biotics. I have to tell you about this game-changing product that I use before a night out with drinks. It's called pre-alcohol. It's Z-Biotics. It's Z-Biotics pre-alcohol. It's a drink. It is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists. to tackle those rough mornings after drinking. When you drink, alcohol turns into a toxic byproduct in your gut. And it is that buildup, it's not dehydration, that makes you feel like you got hit by a truck the next day. You know what I'm talking about? So here's my story. The first time I tried Z-Biotics was before a friend's dinner party. I've told you about it.
Cocktails, wine, you name it. Normally the next morning, I'd feel like I ran a marathon in my sleep. But this time, I woke up early, had my coffee, went for a jog, I was shocked. Make ZBiotics your first drink of the night, and you can feel your best tomorrow. So go to ZBiotics.com slash lemon for 15% off your first order.

We are extraordinarily happy that you are here. I'm just going to just cut all the formalities and, you know, as we normally do. And I just want to get right to our guest because it's an important one. And it's one I believe has really understood the assignment.
And that is Representative Dave Minn. He's a freshman member of Congress serving California's 47th congressional district. You want to hear from him. As a matter of fact, Congressman, thank you for joining. How are you doing?
Thanks so much for having me. You make me want to have this probiotic and try it out.
Try it. It works. Thank you very much. I'm glad to have, you know, kind of a seal of approval from you. So I want to play this because I noticed that you are, I believe, doing the right thing in your response. You are actually carrying the football down the field and you are living in a reality. This was you earlier on CNN.
Again, I do want to say we have no reason to think that he was in any way involved with that check itself. Also, no reason to think he's connected any wrongdoing involving Jeffrey Epstein. You noted you're a prosecutor, you're a lawyer here. There's this definition. We have lots of reasons to think he was involved in wrongdoing. I mean, at this point, there's a lot of smoke. There may be some fire, but I would just push back and say I think there's a lot of reason to think Donald Trump was involved. Involved with what? I'm sorry, what exactly, what proof do you have that he was involved with wrongdoing in regards to Jeffrey Epstein? And if that's the case, why have there been no prosecutions over 20 years here?
Because there haven't really been any allegations that he was involved with wrongdoing. There are a lot of connections where Donald Trump was named, right? We had a 14-year-old claiming that she was raped by him, then withdrew that claim after she was apparently threatened. His name appears a lot. And again, we at this point, our job is to find justice for these survivors, and that means that we need to continue digging, knowing that there is a cover-up taking place right now. And I didn't say that we have proof. At this point, we have a lot of smoke. But Donald Trump's name is clearly mentioned multiple times We've seen him lie over and over about things that we now know to be true. So again, I think that we, as the Oversight Committee, we owe an obligation to the girls, the American people out there, to keep digging and find out the truth, whoever's involved.
Again, you know, Donald Trump has not been named in any connection or charged with any wrongdoing there. Ghislaine Maxwell, take this for what it is, but Ghislaine Maxwell said, you know, she never saw Donald Trump or anyone, for that matter, engaged in any wrongdoing connected to Jeffrey Epstein. Dave Midd, Congressman from California.
