You know when people try a new food and suddenly it's like, OK, hold on. I got a new favorite food. That's the reaction a lot of people are having when they first try Cupid Mayon. Yeah, it's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it at the grocery store. And this mayo is different. Mm-hmm. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. Cupid only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers, chefs use it, restaurants use it, people who really care about flavor use it, put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand.

In this episode, we're going to dive into the Hillary Clinton transcript from her conversation with Congress about Jeffrey Epstein. And like usual, we're going to start with Hillary Clinton's opening statement and this comes after she was sworn in. Mr. Chairman, ranking member members of the committee, as a former United States senator, I have respect for the legislative oversight and I expect its exercise. As do American people to be principled and fearless in pursuit of truth and accountability, as we all know, however, too often congressional investigations are partisan political theater, which is an abdication of duty and an insult to the American people. This committee justified its opinion to me based on an assumption that I have information regarding the investigations into the criminal activities of Jeffrey Epstein and Glaine Maxwell.

3:11Let me be as clear as I can, I do not. As I stated in my sworn declaration on January 13th, I had no idea about their criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein. I never flew on his plane or visited his island or offices. I have nothing to add to that. Like every decent person I've been horrified by what I've learned about their crimes. It's unfathomable that Mr. Epstein initially got a slap on the wrist in 2008, which allowed him to continue his predatory practices for another decade. Mr. Chairman, your investigation is supposed to be assessing the federal government's handling of the investigation and prosecution of Epstein and his crimes. You subpoenaed eight law enforcement officials, all of whom ran the Department of Justice, or directed the FBI when Epstein's crimes were investigated and prosecuted. Of those eight, only one appeared before the committee. Five of the six former Attorney General were allowed to submit brief statements stating they had no information to provide.

4:12You held zero public hearings, refused to allow the media to attend them, including today, despite espousing the need for transparency on dozens of occasions. You've made little effort to call the people who show up, most prominently, in the Epstein files. And when you did, not a single Republican member showed up for less Wexner's deposition. This institutional failure is designed to protect one political party and one public official, rather than to seek the truth for the victims and survivors, as well as inform the public who want to get to the bottom of this matter. My heart breaks for the survivors, and I'm furious on their behalf. I've spent my life advocating for women and girls. I've worked hard to stop the terrible abuses, so many women and girls face here and around the world, including human trafficking for its labor, domestic violence, and sexual slavery. For too long, these have been largely invisible crimes or not treated as crimes at all, but the survivors are real, and they're entitled to justice.

5:12In Southeast Asia, I met girls as young as 12 years old, who had been forced into prostitution and rape repeatedly. Some were dying of AIDS. In Eastern Europe, I met mothers who told me how they lost their daughters to trafficking, and did not know where to turn. In settings around the world, I met survivors, trying to rebuild their lives, and help rescue others with little support from people in power, who too often turned the blind eye in a cold shoulder. If you are new to this issue, let me tell you, Jeffrey Epstein was a heinous individual, but he's far from alone. This is not a one-off tabloid sensation or political scandal, it's a global scourge with an unimaginable, human toll. My work combating sex trafficking goes back to my days as first lady. I worked to pass the first federal legislation against trafficking, and was proud that my husband signed the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, which increased support for survivors and gave prosecutors better tools for going after traffickers. As Secretary of State, I appointed a former federal prosecutor, Louis de Baca, to ramp

6:18up our global anti-trafficking efforts. I oversaw nearly 170 anti-trafficking programs and 70 nations, and directly pressed foreign leaders to crack down on trafficking networks in their countries. Every year we published the Global Report to Shine a Light on Abuses. The findings of those reports triggered sanctions on countries failing to make progress, so they became a powerful diplomatic tool to drive concrete action. I insisted that the United States be included in the report for the first time ever in 2011, because we must hold ourselves not just to the same standard as the rest of the world, but to an even higher one. Trafficking and modern slavery should have no place in America none. Infuriatingly the Trump administration gutted the Trafficking and Persons office at the State Department, cutting more than 70 percent of the career's civil and foreign service experts who worked so hard to prevent sex trafficking crimes. The annual Trafficking report required by law was delayed for months.

7:19The message from the Trump administration to the American people and the world cannot have been clear. Embatting human trafficking is no longer an American priority under the Trump White House. That's a tragedy. It's a scandal and it deserves vigorous investigation and oversight. A committee endeavoring to stopping human trafficking would seek to understand what specific steps are needed to fix a legal system that allowed Epstein to get away with his crimes. A committee run by elected officials with a commitment to transparency would ensure a full release of all the files. It would ensure that all lawful redactions of those files protected the victims and survivors, not powerful men and political allies. It would get to the bottom of reports that DOJ withheld FBI interviews in which a survivor accuses President Trump of crimes. It would subpoena anyone who asked on which night there would be the wildest party on Epstein's island. It would demand testimony from prosecutors in Florida, New York, and the Department of

8:20Justice about why they gave Epstein a sweetheart deal and chose not to pursue others who may have been implicated in his crimes. And it would demand that Secretary Rubio and Attorney General Bondi testify about why this administration is abandoning survivors and playing into the hands of traffickers. It would seek out advocates and law enforcement officials on the front lines of the fight against human trafficking and ask them what support they need. It would put forth legislation to provide more resources and force this administration to act. But that's not happening. Instead you have compelled me to testify fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation in order to distract from President Trump's actions and cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers. If this committee is serious about learning the truth about Epstein's trafficking crimes, it would not rely on press gags to get answers from our current president on his involvement. It would ask him directly, under oath, about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein files.

9:22If the majority was serious, it would not waste time on fishing expeditions. There's too much to be done. What's being held back? Who's being protected? And why? The cover-up. So my challenge to you, Mr. Chairman and members of this committee is the same challenge I put to myself throughout my long service to this nation. What to be worthy of the trust of the American people that they've given you? They expect statesmanship, not gamesmanship, leading, not grandstanding, and they expect you to use your power to get to the truth and to do more to help survivors of Epstein's crimes, as well as the millions more who are victims of sex trafficking in this country and around the world. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And I would like to request that the video of this deposition be made available within 24 hours. As it has been for other witnesses. Billy Grant, I guess, is doing the questioning here? Thank you, Madam Secretary, the time reads 1134. The majority's time will begin now.

10:23Madam Secretary, in the interest of efficiency here today, I'm going to ask you one question followed by a list of names. The question can be answered yes or no. If you do indicate yes to an individual, I'll come back and revisit that at the end. The question is, have you ever communicated with any of the following people relating to Jeffrey Epstein or Golan Maxwell? Richard Khan, answer no. Darenindike, no, Sarah Kellen, no, Doug Bande, not that I recall, Larry Summers, no, Huma Abedin, have I ever talked to her about this? In preparation for the hearing I have? Question outside of that, answer not that I recall? No, I don't know most of these people. Should I tell you that I know who they are or just tell you I never talked to them? Question just so you never talked to them is fine, Alan Dershowitz, answer no. Kathy Rumler, answer no. Bill Richardson, answer no.

11:24George Mitchell, answer no. Andrew Mountbatten, Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, answer no. Peter Mandelson, answer no. David Hoffman, answer no. Karinea Shuliac, answer no. Bill Gates, answer no. Ahood Brauch, answer no. Woody Allen, no, Sandy Berger, no, Jess Staley, no. Paul Morris, no, Leon Black, no. Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulyum, answer no.

12:25You know when people try a new food and suddenly it's like, wait, that's the reaction. A lot of people are having when they first try cutie mayo. It's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it in the grocery store before. And if you've ever just walked past it, some people would say that's a huge mistake. Because this mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. Cutie only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, and almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers, some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it. And once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere. Chefs use it, restaurants use it. People who really care about flavor use it. Never try it. Grab the bottle with the red cap next time you're at the store. Put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand. Cute be the original Japanese mayonnaise. I'm Cassandra, a licensed rouse pharmacist passionate about helping patients navigate their GLP1 journeys.

You may not know this, but I have XM. So I get how it can steal your time. But why let XM take over when you can talk to your doctor about Eppglus?

Ask your doctor about Eppglus and visit Eppglus.com or call 1-800-LiliRX or 1-800-545-5979. No. Daniel Gilbert? No. Stacey Plaskit? Not that I recall? Howard Lutnik? Not that I recall? Steve Bannon? Answer. I don't know if I have ever met him. You'll have to introduce me. Question I'll take that as a no. Answer just to be absolutely clear. You've asked if I've ever communicated about Epstein a man I've never met with any of these people, most of whom I've never heard of and certainly not met. That's the premise of your question. Oh, please. She never met any of these people, huh? Right. And I'm fucking Santa Claus. Question Mr. Epstein or Ms. Maxwell? Clinton you did not say that. Question I did say that in the beginning.

15:30I'll repeat the question. Clinton no, that's okay, but I didn't talk about her with any of these people either. Question understood. Answer I barely knew her. Question David Gurgon? Answer no. Elon Musk? Answer no. Abigail Johnson? Answer no. Jeff Bezos? Answer no. Larry Page? Answer no. Larry Brin? Answer no. Louis Free? Answer no. Question a new member arrived? Would they please introduce themselves for the record? Wesley Bell representative Missouri first integration district. Catherine Turner? Johnson now? Can you read back the initial premise of your question because I too did not hear? Question yes ma'am. Have you ever communicated with any of the following people relating to Jeffrey Epstein or Golan Maxwell? I didn't hear the Maxwell piece, but we could ask the court reporter. It doesn't matter. It's the same answer, but I did not hear the Maxwell name in there. Billy Grant understood. Question. Was the last name you said, Larry Page?

16:32Colmer jumps in, Surgy Brin? Billy Grant the last name I stated was Louis Free. You indicated no, is that a correct? Hillary Clinton? I think you mean free? Question free? Yes ma'am. Senator Louis Free? Clinton no? Question and Sarrake? Clinton no? And these are all to the best of my recollection. As I say many of the people I've never heard of. Most of these people I've never had a relationship with, although I know their name, some of them are deceased. But I was not communicating about Jeffrey Epstein and Golan Maxwell as I understand that's what you're asking me. Contacting people about them, that did not happen. And is there anyone you had a conversation with about Golan Maxwell? Answer, oh I'm sure I've talked about Golan Maxwell and especially in preparation for the hearing. Question and outside of the conversation with council, what did you talk about with Ms. Maxwell? Answer, I don't recall any conversation about Ms. Maxwell, but I knew her casually, so I can't tell you that I never had a conversation that I mentioned, Golan Maxwell's name, because

17:36I don't recall that. Question understood and you say that you knew Ms. Maxwell casually, what does that mean? Answer, just as I said, I know her primarily as someone who dated someone that I knew. Question and who was that individual? Answer, Ted Wait. Question and who was Ted Wait. Answer, Ted Wait was a successful as I recall a software developer. Question and roughly, when would the first time Ms. Maxwell would have come up in a relation to Mr. Wait? Answer, I don't recall, but perhaps sometime around 2010 because he was invited to my daughter's wedding and she was a guest. Question, have you ever spoken with Ms. Maxwell personally yourself? Answer, I'm sure I have, yes. Question, could you estimate on how many occasions? Answer not many, I didn't see her very often. Question, what would the first occasion have been? Answer, I have no recollection. Question, did you first interaction with Ms. Maxwell occur while President Clinton was President of the U.S. and you were first lady of the United States?

18:36Answer, no, I don't recall ever meeting her while Bill was still on the White House.
