| 0:00.0 | All right, welcome everybody to the Jim Acosta show. It is Thursday, and it is unraveling for Donald Trump. |
| 0:06.2 | His trip to the Middle East has revealed itself as a presidential money grab, schmoozing with dictators to line his pockets. |
| 0:12.8 | Most notably, of course, this is ridiculous scheme to accept a free $400 million plane from the Qataris to use as Air Force One. I'll talk to California Senator |
| 0:22.8 | Adam Schiff in just a moment about Trump administration corruption and how it may be spreading |
| 0:27.5 | to other officials in the administration. Surprise, surprise. In the meantime, Republicans are |

| 1:23.9 | Let's try to bring in the senator. Right now, I understand he is standing by, and we'll bring him into the |
| 1:29.2 | discussion here, and we'll see where the discussion goes. The senator, very kind enough to give us some of his time today. |
| 1:37.3 | I understand this is going to be his first substack live interviews. So we've heard that a number of times from |
| 1:44.1 | various members of Congress. |
| 1:46.4 | We had Hakeem Jeffries, the House Democratic leader not too long ago. Pete Buttigieg. He did |
