Megyn Kelly, the former Fox News host turned independent media personality, spoke to fellow podcaster Emily Jashinsky about the DOJ and FBI’s conclusion that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein didn’t have a client list on Tuesday.
“In the memo, the language that Pam Bondi used, which was ‘no incriminating client list,’ that really jumped out to me actually, because it maybe gives her a little wiggle room between saying that she had a client list and then saying there’s no incriminating client list,” began Jashinsky on her After Party YouTube show. Attorney General Bondi has been under fire for her past statements on the so-called “Epstein Files.” In one Fox News hit, she claimed to have Epstein’s “client list” on her desk.
“So I wanted to ask you if maybe that’s what’s going on here before we get into some of these other details,” Jashinsky added.
“I don’t know what’s going on with her. I believe Dan Bongino’s not lying to me. I really do. When Dan Bongino puts his name on something, I don’t know Kash [Patel] as well, but I know Dan. I know him well. We’ve worked together many, many years. He’s not—he didn’t just turn around and start lying. That’s not who he is. He’s an honest guy and he takes this role very seriously, and I trust him,” Kelly began, defending her fellow ex-Fox News colleague, now the deputy director of the FBI under Patel.
“And I trust them not to actively mislead me or you. However, Pam Bondi has definitely made multiple inconsistent statements, and I’m sorry, but she does not deserve the benefit of my good opinion and I am not prepared to give it to her,” Kelly continued, adding:
She’s—yes, on camera saying, that clip that Peter Doocy was referencing where John Roberts asked her, “Do you have a client list, like are you going to release a client list?” And she said, “Yes.” He said “client list” and she said, “Yes, it’s on my desk right now.”
So it was not as amorphous as Karoline [Leavitt] —to her credit, she’s trying to cover for the administration, which is her job, but they put her in a very difficult position. It’s not amorphous. It’s very clear. She said yes. And here’s what happened. What happened was Pam Bondi said that. And then a week later, she said she was gonna be releasing some very interesting documents the next day when on Jesse Watters’s show, like six days after that first hit. He said, “Hey, well, client list is coming out.” And she was like, “It’s going to be getting very interesting. And some interesting Epstein documents are coming out tomorrow.”
And that is when the influencers, right-wing influencers who had been very good to Trump, who amidst all the deranged media out there, were able to see through the bullshit and reported honestly and helped him a lot and did not deserve the humiliation that she heaped upon them. It was not through their own doing. She invited them there. I mean, who wouldn’t go, right? It’s Pam Bondi. “Do you want to come meet with the head of the FBI and the vice president for an exclusive Epstein leak?” Yeah, yes, most people in media would say yes to that.
So they went and in the classic line from Animal House, “You fucked up, you trusted us.” That’s what happened. They fucked up because they trusted her and they were humiliated because she gave them all these binders that read “Epstein files,” you know, volume one, and there was nothing new in there, nothing. There was no scoop.
Why would she do that? And it led to behind-the-scenes, like all the White House staffers, like the top people in the White House for Trump, distancing themselves from Pam Bondi immediately. Like, “We don’t know why she did that.” And then it came out that they were urging her not to do it. But I don’t know what she was up to. She wanted to have some moment where she looked like she was the one. And then she was in trouble, and she knew it. So she said, “All right, that’s just the first tranche. I’m really pissed off. The FBI is the one who screwed me. They said everything was in there.” Okay, like you need to know, you need to know. No lawyer just sloppily calls all these PR people in and says, “Here are the files” without knowing what’s in there, but she wants us to believe she did. Okay, so she either was clueless or she intentionally embarrassed them. I don’t know which is better.
No, I don’t mean guys picking up litter in the streets. I mean the guys riding garbage trucks. That is tough work and they are paid well enough for the garbage to always be picked up.
As far as I can tell, you only have the idea that Americans won’t do the work because you and your family have been leeches on the country, hiring illegals.
Take the emotion out of it, think this through.
Let's say all illegal aliens working in the food 'picking/processing' industry are removed soon.
How do you get the food from the ground to the supermarket?
Do you think the supermarket will still have food to sell you if the food stays in the ground?
Do you think there would be no food shortage if the food stays in the ground?
A food shortage would clearly be an existential crisis.
Your going to tell those garbage workers to quite their job and go work in the field?
No. What I’m saying is pay people enough and they will come do the work. Jeesh!
You don't want to go there unless you know the person you're trying to insult you piece of crap.
Just out of high school, I was a framer. That job was ultimately replaced by, who I can only suspect because I have not definitive proof, was an illegal alien.
Years later, I was a programmer, making a nice living. Nearly 20 years in and I was replaced by...again, I can only suspect because I have no definitive proof, an H1b visa guy from either Mexico or China....I'm not certain. A team member of mine was replace at the say time, so I can't say for sure if the Mexican H1b visa guy or the Chinese H1b visa guy took my job. A job that I always had a positive performance review for.
The whole "best I can tell about you" and "your family are leeches" bullshit about somebody based on nothing more than a wild guess is very low IQ stuff.
Illegal aliens and H1b visa has affected me personally and directly regarding employment, in a very negative way. That, however, doesn't mean I can't reason this issue through.
Your not going to replace the barely educated foreigner from a poor country with an American citizen one for one...or even close to that. Not going to happen in this age.
Okay, so you’re the opposite end of the spectrum. You have no experience in farming and rural life in general. You’ve bought the propaganda.
Loads of high school and college kids would love to work on farms—and many more did before illegals undercut them. Again, as I responded to you before, there are temporary worker programs for extreme “picker” situations already, though with creativity that environment could be addressed as well.
There is zero excuse for many American farmer workers being legally paid below the minimum wage. That is the sort of legislation Rollins and the labor secretary should be addressing, not the amnesty they’re pushing for.
The person who wants to go to college?
The person who wants to be a plumber?
The person who wants to go into the military?
Are there high schools counselors out there advocating for kids to go into the fields to work for a living?
Perhaps, there's counselors in college who are telling kids that haven't made up their mind yet on a degree, that they should consider field work? Those people?
Perhaps it's that welder who has a son and daughter. He's telling them, hey...once field workers get paid enough (whatever that means), that's a career you should explore. Those people?
This...isn't...about...raising...the...field...workers...wage.
It's about culture. It's about the American dream. It's about wanting more for your children, a better life for them.
Working in a field picking food isn't that.
You are just clueless about this. I don’t know why. Do you understand labor markets? Supply and demand? Where do you think new hires in any sector come from?
