Now, for the biggest stories of the week, Amber, Aaron, please watch the clip and tell me what is the story.

This is Pam Bondi testifying about Epstein, and she talked and talked and talked and didn't say shit.

-♪♪♪♪

The story is Pam Bondi and Trump's Department of Justice. The DOJ has America saying WTF,

and it all starts with a certain PDF file full of PDF files. As is Pam Bondi in Trump's Department of Justice, the DOJ has America's NWTF,

and it all starts with a certain PDF file full of PDF files.

On Wednesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the House Judiciary Committee to answer questions about her handling of the Epstein files, and Bondi was nothing but a professional.

No, I'm gonna answer the question the way I want to answer the question.

No, you're gonna answer the question the way I asked it.

Chairman Jordan, I'm not gonna get in the gutter with these people. You don't tell me anything washed up.

Yeah, oh, I did tell you, because we saw what you did in the Senate.

You're not even a lawyer.

I'm talking. I'm talking.

If they're not privileged... Quiet. Don't yell at me didn't ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein not once when he was weak sauce and also

She's good at spinning some shit. Well, you don't get that good overnight That's hours of like complaining at McDonald's and Home Depot What I really love is this one woman's facial expression just says it all Why was Pam Bondi in front of the Judiciary Committee in the first place?

Because the DOJ wouldn't release the Epstein files the way they should have. Redaction, redaction, redaction. That's all you got.

Yeah, Congress was granted access to unredacted versions of the Epstein files for the first time, but they hit some roadblocks. Question, what's been standing in the way of Congress gaining full, unredacted access to the Epstein files?

First of all, the Department of Justice, and if you want to see them as a congressperson, they've got four computers. Four computers.

There's four computers. So, um, it would take many months to actually have the time. I, you know, I only had a few hours. I think the transparency argument Um, it would take many months to actually have the time. I-you know, I only had a few hours. I think the transparency argument

is really kind of a sham, because it's not really possible.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Did you have to wait

to get a computer?

It is not possible.

Four computers. Like the library, bitch.

Like, you just... My library has more than four computers.

I got to be honest. Turns out Congress can only look at the files between 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, and they have to give the DOJ 24 hours' notice before they look at them. And only members of Congress are allowed to look at the files and log in and read them.

What is the average age of a member of Congress? It's, like, 87, 88, something like that. Ooh! They don't know how to use computers?

What is the one thing that's making matters even worse once they've accessed the files?

Is it that they're scratching SNF?

-♪ ♪ -♪ It's because the DOJ is tracking which members of Congress looked at the files, and they're tracking which files they looked at.

We have learned from this photo that the searches that members of Congress are performing are apparently being tracked and then read by... the Department of Justice, by the attorney general.

If you look at the photo from inside Bundy's binder, you can see she literally has the list of everything that Representative Jayapal searched for. One congressperson even clockapped what she was doing as it happened.

I'd like to see you flip to the Jared Moskowitz section of the binder. I'm interested to see what staff provided on the... on the oppo on me. And because we're in the Olympics, I'm gonna give it a grade.

I just want to see how... how good it is.

So give me your best one.

So, first of all, nothing is funny about mocking the Bible and holding up a Trump Bible. That's what you did. You made a joke, and I find offense to that. That's all I have to say to you.

I want it from the Bern book. I want it from the Bern book, which is the best one. What you got?

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Maryland Rep Jimmy Raskin didn't think there was anything fun about Pam's peaking, though.

It is a violation of the separation of powers for them to essentially be monitoring our computer searches on the Epstein file. So I think it's outrageous that they would do that, and it's Orwellian, and we're going to have some more to say about it soon.

I mean, Mike Johnson and his son monitor each other's porn usage, so this seems fine.

Bondi continued to blow up throughout her testimony. And what was the most damning moment for A.G. Bondi during this hearing?

When she was finally honest and was like, look, I love to protect pedophiles. It's what I was hired to do, and I'm gonna do it. And I'm gonna fight anyone who says I can't. Do you remember that part?

I do.

I must admit, I was flipping between that and the Olympics,

so I must have missed it. There was a moment where all the survivors, about a dozen of them, stood up, right? And-and they all looked at Pam Bondi, and Pam Bondi didn't look at them once. That moment right there, I think, ends her tenure as attorney general.

Yes.

Points for Aaron. Why would anyone ever expect Pam Bondi

to make a stand against assault? She made a big show right at the beginning of the administration. We're gonna-we're gonna get out these files. And she gave them to a bunch of right-wing influencers, and she was making a whole big

deal of it. The reason why it's so shocking that Pam Bondi is against defending victims of assault is because she said she would in 2014 during this campaign ad.

Florida ranks third nationally in calls for help for human trafficking, where young women and children are enslaved and abused. I'll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong behind bars.

Pam Bundy, our attorney general.

That's our attorney general, you're booing.

Boo!

Boo! Boo!

I'll put human traffickers behind bars. By bars, I mean little black bars on sheets of paper.

Bars are slimming.

They are. Yeah.

That's what they told me when they put me in jail

the first time.

Here's Pam saying what we should be talking about instead.

The Dow is over $50,000. I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader, as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over $50,000 right now. The S&P at almost $7,000. And the Nasdaq's smashing records. Americans' 401Ks and retirement savings are booming.

That's what we should be talking about. What does a Dow have to do with anything? That's what they just asked? Are you kidding?

The stock market's at 50,000!

The market did fall below 50,000 after she finished testifying, so...

You were at that hearing, right?

I was right outside. They didn't let me in.

Did you speak to the survivors? Yeah.

And what can you share about what they said after the hearing?

They're horrified, right? They're horrified. It's not just Pam Bondi. It's been five administrations. It's been several departments of justice. They just want justice. And instead, they get their own witness statements that they told the FBI and it's all blacked out

They can't even see their own documents Right, so they're horrified

Bondi wasn't the only Trump administration official to testify about Epstein this week Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick answered questions about his relationship with the apex pedophile Before a congressional committee this week. What did Howard have to say about his association with the apex pedophile before a congressional committee this week. What did Howard have to say about his association with Epstein?

That it was nothing.

Why are you even talking about it?

It barely, barely knows the guy. Yes, they spent a lot of time together.

He is Lutton.

I did have lunch with him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me, as were my four children and nannies. I had another couple with... They were there, as well, with their children,

and we had lunch on the island. That is true for an hour,

and we left with all of my children left, too. Who's actually facing consequences for their connections to Epstein and being in the files? The royal formerly known as Prince.

That's one of them.

Oh, that's true. When you say Prince, you got to put Andrew

right behind that immediately.

Right, right. The black people know. You don't just... You don't just go formally known as Prince. You're like, no!

There's a bunch of Brits, I feel like, who are in a lot of trouble.

Oh, you got the ambassador, Mendelsohn. You got the sultan from Dubai, who has just resigned today. Wait, sultans can resign? Well, I think his first name's Sultan.

Oh, okay.

That's right, baby. Get up.

Thank you.

And then there's Elon Musk. Who's Elon Musk been coming for this week?

It's Steve Bannon.

That sounds so right, Eric. I want to trade teammates.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It is Steve Bannon. Despite being mentioned in the files himself, Elon's been tweeting about human mucinect blob Steve Bannon. Bannon's all over the files. Uh, he and Jeffrey Epstein have a selfie together. And in 2019, the same year Epstein went to jail for the last time, Bannon texted Epstein

an offer to rebuild his image by producing a documentary about what a great philanthropist he is.

and then there's the crimes of the cover-up and she's part of that continuing cover-up so she didn't apologize for that. So like oh the theater and I'm like yes you're the main character in this. The circus act. Yes. She was a comedian too. Yes. Everyone was laughing at her. character in this. The circus act. Yes. She was a comedian too. Yes. Everyone was laughing at her.

Do you believe they did the best they could?
