| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the beat. We have a special show for you, special guests, live from Congress, |
| 0:04.1 | a lot to deal with what we were just discussing, what does transparency actually look like? |
| 0:10.0 | That Trump DOJ is doing something, but also not meeting the deadline. They have not released everything |
| 0:16.6 | from the Epstein files, but we do have new material. And so what we're going to do here, |
| 0:20.7 | and Nicole Walls just walked us through, why there's so much bipartisan pressure on this |
| 0:25.5 | administration to comply. We're going to walk through what we're learning as we go together, |

| 1:16.3 | tonight. Now, there are many redactions, which raises a question. This is a file that was over 90 |
| 1:22.3 | pages that we pulled, and they've redacted everything, as you see. That's going to feed more questions about the |
| 1:30.2 | compliance with Democrats warning tonight, and we'll hear from one shortly, that they will use all |
