Why are Democrats suddenly going on the offensive against MAGA Republicans?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Uh-oh, MAGA Mike and Jim Jordan, you weren't expecting this. You weren't expecting Democrats to get aggressive and to go on the offense. Well, that's what we're seeing. You just thought you were going to pass your disastrous budget bill and what? Just hang out in Mar-a-Lago and party? Not the way it's going to go down. Americans hate y'all. And finally, Democrats are channeling that hatred and calling you idiots out. Let me first show you Democratic Congress member Jamie Raskin. Here, Raskin says, let's talk about the Epstein list, huh? Why would Trump not release it at this point, Maga Mike, huh? Riddle me that, Maga Mike, here, play this clip.
Jamie Raskin 0:44
Look, why would Trump not want to release it at this point when he's been demanding an open, complete, comprehensive accounting and release? Either one, he's implicated and they don't want to doctor the tapes or at least doctor them any further because there is that mysterious one minute missing of the tape in the prison. But so either he's implicated or there are other high ranking Republicans he's covering up for, or there are people on there that he wants to use this as leverage against. which we know is also a big, you know, M.O. for Donald Trump. He would like to have the coercive leverage of possessing this arsenal of information around them.
Ben Meiselas 1:26
And so then Jamie Raskin says, we want hearings on this. I'll ask Jim Jordan of the Judiciary Committee or Maga Mike or whoever. Let's have a hearing. Let's subpoena Kash Patel and Dan Bongino. Let's bring him right here and let's talk Epstein. Here, play this clip.
Jamie Raskin 1:43
It'd be much better for everybody to come clean and let's vindicate the public interest here. I'm going to be asking Chairman Jordan to call for a hearing where we subpoena the Attorney General and Dan Bongino and Kash Patel to come in and tell us everything that we know, because this thing is really spinning out of control at this point. And there's one way to put it to rest, which is to come clean, as President Trump promised he would during the campaign.

What does Jamie Raskin want from Congress regarding the Epstein files?

Ben Meiselas 2:09
And did you notice that the White House just they're playing defense finally for once. This is what you got to do, Dems. You got to be aggressive like this. So the White House then shows this photo of Democratic Congress member Jimmy Gomez, like an AI version of him. They go ice raids, marijuana farms filled with illegal aliens. They're just strawberry pickers. And then you know what Congress member Gomez does? Boom. He goes, here's a photo of you and Jeffrey Epstein. You're covering up for Epstein. You're covering up the Epstein files because you're likely all over them, Donald Trump. At White House, if you're now concerned about child exploitation, release the Epstein files. Your base wants to know. By the way, as I said before, folks, Epstein used Mar-a-Lago as one of the main places that he got the girls who he sex trafficked.
Ben Meiselas 2:58
It's out there. It's already in the files that are out there. How do you think Epstein found Virginia Giuffre? She was an underage girl. She was homeless. She got a job at Mar-a-Lago. Elaine Maxwell, who would do the sex trafficking for Epstein, went to Mar-a-Lago, found Giuffre, brought her to Epstein, and then the rest is history. That's what went down at Mar-a-Lago. And then Donald Trump said, Epstein's a great guy. He likes girls on the younger side. Donald Trump was all over Epstein's flight log. Donald Trump's all over the depositions on the things that are already released. All right. And then I had the opportunity to interview Congress member Moskowitz. And here's what he told me. Here, play this clip.
Jared Moskowitz 3:37
I mean, I'm sure we're moments away from her coming out and saying, who's Jeffrey Epstein? Never existed. Never was a guy. I mean, look, you don't don't listen to me. Go look at what's going on on the right. I mean, MAGA is losing their shit over this. OK, it's on my desk. The list is on my desk. It's imminent. It's coming. Boom. No list. I mean, they got I mean, Jelaine is in Maxwell's in prison. OK, because of Jeffrey Epstein, because of the list. OK, there's, you know, a thousand victims, but there's no list.
