Part 2/11:
The discussion begins with a recount of a rules committee vote that occurred last night. A motion proposed by MGovern aimed to make it mandatory to preserve and release all records related to Jeffrey Epstein, a discredited financier linked to numerous allegations of sex trafficking and misconduct. The vote resulted in a narrow defeat, with 149 members voting yes and 157 voting no.
What strikes many listeners is the party split: all those who supported the motion were liberals, except for one Republican, while the opposition was unanimously Republican. This stark division prompts the question: why would Republicans block efforts to disclose damaging Epstein-related information, especially when the topic was heavily emphasized during political campaigns?
