Ben Meiselas 0:09
Donald Trump was getting loudly booed in Nebraska during a town hall. MAGA Republican Congress member Mike Flood at least showed up for a town hall. He's the Congress member from Nebraska's 1st Congressional District. He showed up for a town hall and his constituents were pissed. They were pissed at Donald Trump taking a Qatari jet. They were pissed at Donald Trump covering up a child sex trafficking ring. They were pissed at Donald Trump cutting SNAP benefits, taking away people's health care. Oh, they were livid at the disastrous bill that Mike Flood was like, oh, don't we all love the big, beautiful bill? And everybody was like, No, do you realize how much that is torturing us? And his constituents share these heartfelt stories about how people in their families were literally dying because they've lost their health care and their lives have been ruined by it.

When are you going to call up President Trump before he bankrupts this country?
Ben Meiselas 1:52
Okay, then the question started coming in about the Epstein files. And Mike Flood, how could you be okay with a literal cover-up of a child sex trafficking ring that Donald Trump is engaged in? Here, play this clip.
Kim, Fremont, Epstein files, at your Norfolk Hall, you just repeated my information, never answered my question. Everything was supposed to release last December. U.S. District Judge Sullivan ordered Trump's Blanche DOJ to unredact a series of emails that have been sent out and were blackened out. So we know Trump is in the Epstein file. Very powerful friends, he said, would be hurt. And Trump's name is in it more than anyone else. These victims have waited 30 years for this government to do something. So why did you and none of your fellow GOP attend the survivors' hearing to listen to their testimony? And why do you continue to protect the pedophiles and Trump's DOJ as they continue to break the law?
Mike Flood 2:57
Well, first of all, you should know that Any victim that has wanted to get in and talk to me about an issue related to the Epstein files has an open door, number one. Number two, I voted to release the Epstein files. Number three, you say that you know what's in the Epstein files. I know what's been unredacted to the extent it's been reported. I can tell you a number of colleagues in my own party and others on the Judiciary Committee are dealing with this. I'm on the Financial Services Committee, so we don't deal with this issue directly. But listen, the Congress passed a law unanimously. The senators pass it with unanimous consent. We had, I think, 430-some votes in the House. The president signed it.
Mike Flood 3:48
It is the law of the land.
There are... Very good. Next question.
Ben Meiselas 4:00
Then he was asked additional questions about what evidence do you have whatsoever about so-called election fraud that you need to do these voter suppression bills? Show us what evidence. And Mike Flood's like, well, there are a lot of people who are concerned about the outcomes of these elections. Well, then the people in the crowd were like, because it's people like you and Donald Trump who keep on lying and spreading disinformation about the 2020 election, about mail-in votes, saying that illegal immigrants vote, and using that pejorative term to refer to migrants who are here, most of whom are working hard and paying taxes and who are here living productive lives before ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo destroy their lives.
Ben Meiselas 4:48
Here, play this clip.
The Republicans own the White House, the Senate, and Congress. Where is the election fraud?
