0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again. |
0:05.0 | So today, we're going to talk about DC preparing an Epstein spectacle. |
0:12.0 | The House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer issued a flurry of subpoenas. |
0:18.0 | Many don't know what to make of it. |
0:20.0 | The Republican Party has had serious issues |

1:53.4 | will be having dinner at Vice President Vance's place. Odd. To have a strategy meeting about the situation. Reporting says there's talk about |
2:05.1 | sending one of the officials on the Joe Rogan show to shore up support. The Trump administration |
