the american people are hungry for real oversight and this government shutdown is also shedding a spotlight on the massive corruption and grift by this trump regime and the utter lack of transparency now you may recall last weekend i did a video with congress member robert garcia ranking member of the house oversight committee for the democrats the video is called where did the 17 trillion dollars go It's been viewed over 1.2 million times because Donald Trump's out there saying he brought in $17 trillion in tariffs that he keeps on a shelf, he says. And while we're seeing these reduction in force notices go out, as Donald Trump and the government also claim now, they have no money. It just makes no sense because he's out there
bragging about how rich we got and the American people know that it's all a lie. Nothing that this Trump regime is saying about this shutdown is sticking because enough is enough and it is impacting the lives of American people. And when you see Donald Trump's Oval Office appearances and you see just the things that he's saying, I mean, just the utter lack of being tethered to reality. Let's use that line because multiple federal judges, including a Trump-appointed judge in Oregon, use that language, tethered to reality. Like what you're saying exists. does not exist. And it's actually been refreshing to see federal judges on a bipartisan basis, although judges shouldn't even be talked about in partisanship, but in a Trump world, sometimes you have to.
They've been saying, your facts, Trump, are not existing in the real world right now. So speaking of that, when Donald Trump is asked a question about the United States Supreme Court denying Ghislaine Maxwell's final appeal to the Supreme Court on her claim that that sweetheart deal by Acosta, Trump's former labor secretary, who was a federal prosecutor in 2008, somehow applied to her. Trump was asked about Ghislaine. So are you going to pardon her? Remember this moment from earlier this week? Let's not forget about it. Let's play it.
The Supreme Court is back and they rejected today an appeal by Ghislaine Maxwell to overturn her conviction. That means her only chance of getting out of prison is a pardon from you.
Is that something you're... Who are we talking about?
Ghislaine Maxwell.
You know, I haven't heard the name in so long. I can say this, that I'd have to take a look at it. I would have to take a look. Did they reject that?
She wanted to appeal her conviction.
And what happened?
They said that they were not going to hear her appeal.
I say, well, I'll take a look at it.
I'll speak to, I will speak to the DOJ. I'll have to speak to the, you shouldn't be speaking to the DOJ. You don't know who she, what are you talking about? You don't know who, of course you know who she is. I want to bring in Democratic Congress member Robert Garcia, ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, and you're demanding that Ghislaine Maxwell now sit for that deposition after the Supreme Court denied her appeal. Her lawyer was claiming that's why she wouldn't sit for the under oath deposition, although she spoke with Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney at the Justice Department. Talk to us about what you're doing on the Oversight Committee to demand that deposition.
Absolutely. I mean, first, let's be really clear. Ghislaine Maxwell is a sex trafficker. She herself abused children, girls, women. She was part of a massive sex trafficking ring, of course, led by Jeffrey Epstein. And so she deserves... no support, pity from us. And to this idea in that clip that Donald Trump is going to somehow possibly consider, look at a pardon, doesn't know anything about it, is just complete bullshit. I mean, give me a break. He knows her. He's met her. Jeffrey Epstein was Donald Trump's close best friend, according to Jeffrey Epstein. He himself moved her from a maximum security facility to a club fed facility where now she's just roaming around. The first time, by the way, that's been done for someone of her caliber of crime.
