Hillary Clinton Accuses GOP of Trump COVER-UP in Epstein Case

Welcome to Ranging Moderates. I'm

Jessica Tarliff >> and I'm Aaron Peres.

>> In today's episode, we're going to be talking about the Clinton's depositions and the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

What to expect from JD Vance's new quote I should do the quotes quote war on fraud and if the US is gearing up to strike Iran, plus whether Kla Harris

really might run again. Aaron was

chatting with her lucky devil. If you're

not already, please make sure to subscribe to our YouTube page to get up-to-date coverage on everything that's happening. Um, and let's jump right in.

happening. Um, and let's jump right in.

I want to start with the Clintons. Uh,

they're back in the proverbial hot seat as House Republicans ramp up their Epstein investigation. The Clintons are

Epstein investigation. The Clintons are testifying under subpoena behind closed doors about their past associations with Jeffrey Epste and Galen Maxwell. I want

to ask you first, I thought this was supposed to be in public or I know they were asking for it and I really wanted it like I had my popcorn ready. if the

the meme >> that's what they asked for. That's what

they asked for. But they don't I mean you don't get what you ask for when you're a witness. You can't really control these things.

>> So uh Comr and the oversight committee said behind closed doors. And the reason why is because Comr is not actually going to talk to Clinton today. Like

that's not what's going to happen. It's

going to be an attorney for oversight that's going to be questioning her. So u

it's not going to be that kind of spectacle that people want >> because he's afraid or because it's just procedure.

>> Procedure. I mean that's what they did with Les Wexner, too. I mean, the actual uh members of Congress, few of them asked questions if you watch the deposition. It was mostly a lawyer,

deposition. It was mostly a lawyer, >> but we saw it.

>> We did see it. And we're going to see the Clintons. I mean, they're going to

the Clintons. I mean, they're going to release it. It's going to be videotaped

release it. It's going to be videotaped and transcribed. We'll see it. It's just

and transcribed. We'll see it. It's just

And we'll probably see it after the weekend if I had to guess.

>> I have to wait for my Hillary movie premiere. Or

premiere. Or >> I'm excited for the Hillary one.

>> I know. The Bill Clinton one, which I realize is going to have much more substance. far less interesting to me

substance. far less interesting to me than Hillary Clinton dog walking every single attorney. What do you expect that

single attorney. What do you expect that they are both going to say?

>> As far as Hillary, I don't I don't expect much because based on what my review of the files, I mean, she was only mentioned substantively a few times and it was in connection with Bill, right? I mean, she met she acknowledged

right? I mean, she met she acknowledged that she's met Golain Maxwell on a few occasions in the past. She says she's never met Jeffrey Epstein before. I

don't know whether to believe that or not. I mean, that's up. We'll see if she

not. I mean, that's up. We'll see if she says that under oath, but she says she only met Glaine a few times. And I mean, a lot of people met Gla Maxwell. A lot

of people met Jeffrey Epste, right?

Like, meeting them doesn't mean that you're implicated in anything. So, I

don't know what I don't I don't really expect much from Hillary at all. Um, I

did read an article, an interesting one this week that kind of said that like this is once again Hillary Clinton being put in a position to have to like defend her husband or like prop up her husband.

throughout her entire life, it's always been like her having to be put in this position and it's a very uncomfortable and unfair position to be put to be put in. Now, as far as Bill Clinton goes, I

in. Now, as far as Bill Clinton goes, I think there's a lot more there the public doesn't know about that the public that we aren't talking about. I

think that he has a lot more answer like there needs to be a lot more answers based on his association with Jeffrey Epste. He obviously knew Jeffrey Epste.

Epste. He obviously knew Jeffrey Epste.

He's appeared in multiple photographs with Epstein and it's important that he testify under oath and provide accurate information. Now, I don't think Bill

information. Now, I don't think Bill Clinton did anything criminal based on what I've seen and even Susie Wilds, the White House chief of staff, admitted that to Vanity Fair, but that doesn't mean that he shouldn't still provide

information if he knows other people who did things that are criminal. And also,

I mean, remember back when Bill Clinton was associated with Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump was too. And they were all Democrats running in the same circles, right? So, Bill Clinton probably has

right? So, Bill Clinton probably has information on the president, has information on other wealthy and powerful people. And you and I have said

powerful people. And you and I have said this from the beginning. I don't care if it's Bill Clinton or Trump. If they have something uh information to give, they should give it.

>> Yeah. The right is uh really struggling with how little Democrats care about who it is at this point. Is like it does not compute for them. Um, I know that Galen

Maxwell played um a central role in building the Clinton Foundation kind of donor base and when he was getting off that that off the ground I think in 2005. So, I'm sure there'll be a lot of

2005. So, I'm sure there'll be a lot of questions about you know the strength of the relationship and you know what he was doing and his team has acknowledged um I think four international flights

that he took with Jeffrey Epstein etc. Um, but I want to go back to what you were saying about Hillary always having to kind of step in and also take a lot

of criticism and frankly hatred for stuff that she did not do herself, you know, going back to the '9s. And I'm not saying in any way that the Monica

Lewinsky uh situation was handled properly or uh you know up to standard of feminist credo, but it is crazy how

she has to answer for these things when it should be as simple as okay, these were the two or three times that I was in a room with Galen Maxwell. A lawyer

could send that in. There is no reason to be hauling her in in front of a committee if not for the fact that Hillary Clinton is consistently vilified. And Nancy Pelosi, who was on

vilified. And Nancy Pelosi, who was on last week, mentioned that like it was an aside, but we were talking about uh the Epstein scandal overall. And she said, "I see no

scandal overall. And she said, "I see no reason why Hillary Clinton, you know, is going in." And it's definitely a point

going in." And it's definitely a point of frustration, I think, especially for, you know, women of a certain era who

have trailblazed on their own and then are, you know, stuck talking about their husband's business.

>> Yeah, for sure. And I mean, I think that I mean, if anyone reviewed the files, like they would they would agree with you. They would agree with Nancy Pelosi.

you. They would agree with Nancy Pelosi.

And also, Hillary Clinton's lawyers offered that. They offered her to answer

offered that. They offered her to answer really any question under oath, like in writing. they offered to provide any

writing. they offered to provide any information like a declaration of sorts under the penalty of perjury. I mean

like it just shows to me that the investigation conducted by this House Oversight Committee isn't a serious one.

I mean because to me if you're going to >> Oh Aaron, >> I mean if you're going to haul in Hillary and you're not going to haul in Trump, that's a problem. If you're going to haul in Hillary and you're not going to >> or Melania

>> or Melania, literally all the wives.

>> All the wives. I mean, Melania literally emailed Golain Maxwell. We have an email in from 2002 where they they're talking about how they're buddies. So, like,

yes, they're it's just it's all frustrating across the board and I am personally frustrated for Hillary.

Bill's a different story. He should be under oath. Hillary, I don't I don't

under oath. Hillary, I don't I don't think so.

>> What do you see as the status of the Epstein investigation? Um, as of now, we

Epstein investigation? Um, as of now, we are seeing some very high-profile resignations um, all over the globe happening. Uh,

the CEO of the World Economic Forum, none of the central figures, though, a lot having to do with an association with Jeffrey Epstein that was not about trafficking girls or uh, accusations of

pedophilia, but even kind of having been friendly with him. Peter Aia is now not going to be a CBS contributor. Where do

you think things stand right now? I

mean, I think that it's growing with each passing day, right? Like I I never thought that this would be a situation where overnight you'd have mass accountability, mass uh arrests, mass

resignations. I mean, it takes time and

resignations. I mean, it takes time and we're seeing every single day drip drip drip more accountability. Now, would I like to see this move faster in the United States? I would. Do I think we're

United States? I would. Do I think we're going to see any arrests in the United States under this presidency? No. Which

is why I think it's going to take a lot longer than people expect. But I don't I think the fact that it's still happening now almost a month later, a month past

the Epstein files release and you're still seeing people talking about it.

You're still seeing it in the news.

You're still seeing these resignations happen and some arrests happen. Shows

that it's not a story that's just going to go away. And so as far as the status goes, my only concern is we have Hillary's deposition, Bill's deposition, and then what, right? Like what's the

next date? I always look for like kind

next date? I always look for like kind of like the next kind of benchmark in terms of these investigations to keep them in the news. And I worry that today's going to happen, tomorrow's going to happen, you're going to have some press on it over the weekend. Come

Monday, people are going to move on because there's no next benchmark that people are like looking forward to. And

so I think it's incumbent on Garcia, the oversight committee, to press forward and maybe try to subpoena uh some of the FBI investigators, some of the other potential co-conspirators uh and really

kind of push the narrative forward and not just let the story die.

>> Yeah. Because I mean without releases of new files also, it's not just the interviews that are going away. The DOJ

is not going to be putting out any more files. I want to talk about uh the new

files. I want to talk about uh the new war on fraud. That was one of Trump's main announcements. It was very light on

main announcements. It was very light on announcements at the State of the Union, but we got uh JD Vance's now the frauds are I guess. Um and he made his first major move suspending 259 million in

federal Medicaid reimbursements to Minnesota. Shocked that it was

Minnesota. Shocked that it was Minnesota. Uh joined by Dr. Oz, Vance

Minnesota. Uh joined by Dr. Oz, Vance said that the pause is tied to an ongoing fraud probe in the state and warned that more funds might be withheld if Minnesota doesn't present a corrective plan within 60 days. um

Medicaid reimbursements are approved by Congress. I know that they don't care

Congress. I know that they don't care about that kind of stuff, but what do you think about I guess the fact that >> we have this new department um and what

the implications of it? I don't know. I

mean, department, whatever you want to call it, a loose term. I mean, I thought he was appointing >> an assistant attorney general to oversee fraud. I guess that wasn't happening

fraud. I guess that wasn't happening anymore because I remember he made that announcement.

>> Can't trust anyone. No, I know. This was

like But this was a state of the union of of recycling. I mean, there were it was basically nothing new and the retirement accounts thing was just a Biden policy from 2022. Like, there was

nothing new except the screaming >> and the uh housing policy was just a Kamla recycle from the campaign trail. I

mean, yeah. I mean, I will say this. I

think part of me thinks that this is Trump doing to Vance what Biden did to Kamla and setting him up for failure in a way. I think this Minnesota fraud

a way. I think this Minnesota fraud situation is going to blow up in their faces at some point. Like I think they're going to they're going to push too hard and it's just going to blow up in their faces. Kind of like Biden

labeling Kamla his borders are in a way or whatever. Like in in charge of the

or whatever. Like in in charge of the border kind of blew up and hurt her 2024 chances. um this will hurt Vance's 2028

chances. um this will hurt Vance's 2028 chances in my opinion because he already got up there like you said and said we're going to suspend Medicaid uh payments even though courts have consistently ruled you can't really do

that and then Dr. Oz also at the same time said something like we're going to suspend new approvals for prosthetics for people who need them for like a period of 6 months >> for 6 months. And I'm like what? Why?

>> For durable medical goods. It's

literally everything in a hospital.

>> Yeah, literally. And it just like makes zero sense. I I really think this is

zero sense. I I really think this is going to blow up in their face. I mean,

it's it's a shitty political policy and it's going to hurt a lot of people in Minnesota, but it's also going to hurt them hurt Vans politically in my opinion because now he's the face of whatever happens.

>> Interesting. Okay. Cuz on the one hand, and I probably shouldn't have scoffed so hard when I said, "Oh, Minnesota," because Minnesota did have 9 billion in fraud, and they have a very real problem

there that is not invented. It's not 19 billion and Nick Shirley isn't going to be, you know, the next Walter Kronhite, but there's a legitimate problem in Minnesota. But it's an interesting point

Minnesota. But it's an interesting point that you raise about giving him this thankless job because obviously a lot of palace intrigue over whether Trump prefers Rubio or Vance to continue his

legacy. Um, and I was reading some

legacy. Um, and I was reading some reporting that he's apparently been asking people like, well, who do you like? Probably his like 23-year-old

like? Probably his like 23-year-old assistants that are running around who are about to become attorney general or whatever. You know, Minnesota

whatever. You know, Minnesota had such incredible push back on ICE and what was going on with immigration enforcement there. To some degree, I

enforcement there. To some degree, I would kind of not want to with Minnesota anymore.

>> Yeah, >> I would have moved on to another state.

Um, but you know, the heart wants what the heart wants.

>> The heart wants what that is an iconic phrase at this point. I mean, yeah, I I don't know why like I thought like them drawing down um what is it called? ice

presence would have been enough and move on, but I guess not. He really doesn't like Tim Walls. I think that's what it is.

>> Since you brought up elections, I want to ask you about this pretty viral moment at least on the right um from the State of the Union. Um people thinking that it's definitely going to shape uh the midterms when Trump asked lawmakers

to stand if they agreed with the government's uh first duty being to protect American citizens and not illegal aliens. All the Republicans got

illegal aliens. All the Republicans got up. Democrats stayed seated. Um, now the

up. Democrats stayed seated. Um, now the GOP has an ad that's similar to the famous Kla Harris is for they them ad.

Do you think that this is going to be an effective election tool for them?

>> No, I don't. I think this is over >> because it's too far out or it's just like whatever.

>> Both. Number one, I mean, it's completely misrepresentative of what happened during the State of the Union.

I mean, like they're they're taking clips of like later in the speech and pretending like it happened at the same time. I mean, they're misrepresenting

time. I mean, they're misrepresenting what happened. Number two, it was a

what happened. Number two, it was a gotcha moment, right? Like every

president does these gotcha moments um in during their State of the Union address to make the other to to try to get an ad like this cut. Biden did it, Obama did it, Trump does it. I mean,

it's the same thing. And number three, I I really think Americans are kind of tired of the immigration like beatd down that that we've been taking over the

past 12 months, 13 months. Like I don't think they believe the GOP anymore when they say the Democrats are for illegal immigration because what's the Republican alternative? What we've saw

Republican alternative? What we've saw in Minnesota, right? Like what we're seeing AC like the militarization of our streets. There's a reason why

streets. There's a reason why immigration approval rating for the White House and for Republicans in Congress is tanking still to this day.

There's a reason why they're trying to back away from it across the airways. I

don't think this is going to help them.

I don't think immigration is a top issue for Americans. I think the top issue for

for Americans. I think the top issue for Americans is affordability and if they can't afford to live in November of 2026, then they're just going to say, "Screw you, Trump. You lied to us on the campaign trail."

campaign trail." >> Yeah, I would agree with you. And I just also to connect it to that big um GOP strategy meeting from about a week and a

half ago with Chris Sevita and James Blair. And apparently they told the

Blair. And apparently they told the Republicans, there were about 75 to 100 Republicans in the room, including a lot of the cabinet members that immigration was not going to change anyone's minds

at this point, that it was not the electoral issue. I mean, certainly not

electoral issue. I mean, certainly not saying the borders closed, like everyone's over it. It also started under Biden. I

under Biden. I He's not going to get credit for that.

But I it is interesting to see it really kind of get narrowed down to just this one category. And I thought Trump was

one category. And I thought Trump was such an utter failure at the State of the Union in dealing with the economy and the way actual Americans feel.

>> Can I tell you what would have been a better cut out if they if they did this for them? Like if they take a positive

for them? Like if they take a positive moment from Trump's speech, right? If

they put cut together like the cheering for um affordability, whatever, like all these things that Trump said that that he claims are happening even though they're not happening. And they cut together like a more positive moment of

like America's greatest days are to come. That to me would have resonated

come. That to me would have resonated more than like attacking Democrats on illegal immigration. Like, okay, move

illegal immigration. Like, okay, move on. Like, been there, done that.

on. Like, been there, done that.

>> All right, Aaron Parnes, GOP strategist.

Okay, let's take a quick break. Stay

with us.

>> Welcome back, Aaron. I want to talk about Team USA's hockeyy's biggest fan.

I also really would keep talking about the hockey players themselves. I was

obsessed with what Hillary Knight um had to say about the situation. Um, but we got to talk about Cash Patel. He fired

at least 10 FBI employees who worked on special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into Trump's handling of classified documents. Um, is this a

classified documents. Um, is this a continuation of Trump's retribution campaign? Are we in some sort of new

campaign? Are we in some sort of new phase? Are we supposed to get distracted

phase? Are we supposed to get distracted about Cash Patel being on the DOJ plane all the time and just going to Florida and Nashville? Um, what's your take on

and Nashville? Um, what's your take on the uh the firings?

>> Yes, I mean that that is my take. All of

the All of the above. I mean, I'm not surprised that there are firings. I

don't think anyone's surprised that there are firings. I'm surprised that it took this long to get to these firings.

Like, >> they Cash Patel wants his own people in there. Cash Patel and wants to please

there. Cash Patel and wants to please the president and wants to get anyone out um who remotely the president might think is against them. Yes, Cash Patel doesn't want people talking about the

fact that he spent $70,000 of their taxpayer dollars drinking beer with the Team USA men's hockey team in the locker room. Like it's all of the above. I

room. Like it's all of the above. I

mean, but this is to me this is a story that under Biden would have would have been playing for two weeks on Fox News.

You'd be talking about on the five every other day on Trump.

>> I mean, I am, but not in the good way.

I'm just getting screamed at that I'm so boring that I think that >> the FBI director, you know, crushing beers uh with the team is somehow

offensive. I mean, he could crush beers

offensive. I mean, he could crush beers with the team, but then don't tell the public that like you're not going there to crush beers with the team. I mean,

like, pay your own way.

>> I think that you should not crush beers with the team. I'm going to go full Debbie Downer.

>> Yeah. I I just I think going in and shaking hands is one thing, but >> it it just set up I mean, if you want to pick on them for being the least

professional cabinet in American history, which I love to do, like obviously we could put it in that category, but it just added such fuel to the fire. Um, and I don't think also

the fire. Um, and I don't think also that it's something that Trump himself liked. I mean, Trump is sober, first of

liked. I mean, Trump is sober, first of all, >> and anything that brings this kind of microscope onto the administration. I

mean, you remember how much I understand that he got through, but remember during Pete Hags confirmation hearings when everyone was talking about him drinking

like on the set of Fox and Friends and having this like erratic um alcoholic behavior, say alleged. I did not like that. Right. That is not the kind of

that. Right. That is not the kind of shop that Donald Trump, a person who like sleeps in a suit, is trying to uh to create.

>> Well, I will say it it's funny. You have

FBI dire I mean, not funny, but FBI director Cashel crushing beers in the locker room. You have RFK Jr. cosplaying

locker room. You have RFK Jr. cosplaying as Jillian Michaels in his workout video with um Kid Rock. Um,

right. Like you you have all these you have Pete Hegv pretending to lift 315 pounds. So, you think there were fake

pounds. So, you think there were fake weights?

>> I think I mean I I think so based on what everyone is saying. It's a It's a lot, right? Like it's like this. They're

lot, right? Like it's like this. They're

trying to be these like macho men. Who

like stop trying to be someone you're not.

>> I know. It's a wonder that anyone has sex with Democratic men. That's like

literally what my colleagues say to me.

They're like, "Oh, you don't want a real man?" And I'm like, "My husband could

man?" And I'm like, "My husband could literally beat all of you up." He's a gentle giant. That Brian, let's pivot to

gentle giant. That Brian, let's pivot to Iran. How'd you like that? Okay. As

Iran. How'd you like that? Okay. As

Trump escalates his threats, uh, Joint Chief's Chairman General Dan Kaine has been quietly preparing potential military strike options. But instead of hashing them out on the Pentagon's secure quote tank, he's reportedly

holding smaller, more discreet meetings to avoid leaks and internal blowback. I

also saw that Politico was reporting this morning that the White House thinks the optics are better if Israel strikes Iran first. So, it's then that we're

Iran first. So, it's then that we're helping them out versus we are the primary aggressor. Do you think that we

primary aggressor. Do you think that we are going to strike Iran? I do. I do. I

mean, it is I I was reading on Twitter, one of the chief experts of like American air power or whatever, and he was saying that like we haven't had this type of power in the Middle East since

um 9/11, and we've never not struck with this much power in the region. I just if we don't strike, just to put in

perspective, you have military uh uh Navy service members on the Gerald R.

Ford the aircraft carrier there now for an extra 3 to 4 months dealing with sewage issues missing funerals missing kids birthdays you sent them there for no reason you have the amount of money

it's cost to send all of this manpower to the region billions of dollars right I mean this is not millions billions of dollars of of movement I mean it would be just a complete waste at this point

right like you have so much posturing the region what does that look like and and I'm looking at like the what They're talking about this deal that they want to execute. This deal is the JCPOA. I

to execute. This deal is the JCPOA. I

mean, that that is the deal. Like, don't

pull out of the Iran deal if you're now just going to try to renegotiate.

>> Your housing policy is comma, your retirement policy is Biden's, and now you're stealing Obama's nuclear deal.

>> Like, they had a nuclear deal on the table. And it I mean, it had it ripped

table. And it I mean, it had it ripped it up.

>> Yeah, for sure. I'm saying like it it wasn't a perfect deal by any means, but this is they're about to get the exact same one. Like that's that's what's on

same one. Like that's that's what's on the table.

>> I agree with you that something is going to happen. I just don't know the size of

to happen. I just don't know the size of it and exactly when. Um you know, Trump said within 24 hours of actually when they ended up striking for in the next couple of weeks, I'll make my decision

and he should not have to telegraph all of his foreign policy moves. Obviously,

we want some element of surprise. What's

been sticking out to me is that doing something in Iran that is limited, which is what they want to do, right? There's

no appetite for boots on the ground or a full-scale war of any kind. How does

that actually help the protesters?

Because that was >> that was the initial impetus for doing this, right? Trump got up and said,

this, right? Trump got up and said, "Help is on the way." And millions of people thought, "Help is on the way." It

has now been a month plus since that happened. But like how much change can

happened. But like how much change can actually be affectuated by a limited military strike?

>> It can't. That's and that's and I think that's why we have I mean I think that's part of the hesitation because like you're never I don't think you'll ever see American boots on the ground, right?

Like I don't think American troops will be in downtown Tyrron ever. Unless you

>> I hope not.

>> I mean I hope not too but I mean unless you have like a CIA team like we saw in Caracus. That's the only way you'll see

Caracus. That's the only way you'll see American boots on the ground.

an air strike campaign, a mass bombing campaign. Okay? Like you take down a

campaign. Okay? Like you take down a bunch of people, you say you kill the Ayatollah, you kill all those people around him. There are more people in the

around him. There are more people in the ranks that will rise up in the IRGC who have a iron grip on that country, right?

You're not just going to have install a new Reza or whatever his name is, the uh the the Shaw. You're not just going to reinstall that overnight. That's not how it works. It has to be a peopledriven

it works. It has to be a peopledriven movement. And you had an opportunity

movement. And you had an opportunity actually when you had those mass protests, a peopledriven movement. And

Trump in a lot of ways boked. He did.

And I I don't agree with striking Iran right now in any event. But I think if he were to strike Iran, it should have happened a month ago. It should have happened during the height of the

protests. And maybe with strikes and

protests. And maybe with strikes and with that mass people driven movement, you could have seen some type of on the ground change. But now people are afraid

ground change. But now people are afraid to go on the streets because he's saying 32,000 people were killed. That number

is probably even higher. And so it it's a bit of a quagmire. I like that word.

>> A bit of Yeah. Um I also feel like these generals that are in the room must be just pulling their hair out. um so

exhausted and frustrated by the whole process, but the the lack of kind of understanding what you portrayed publicly versus what can actually be done and what the real implications of

those kinds of statements are.

>> I will also note that this is very different from Venezuela and I think that's what a lot of people are missing in this entire conversation. You can't

just kidnap the Ayatollah and the country >> and put them in Brooklyn >> and put him in Brooklyn and the country changes. That's not how the like Iran is

changes. That's not how the like Iran is a much different didn't even change. But

yes, >> Iran is a much different beast. Iran,

like you kidnap the Ayatollah and you put him in Brooklyn, the next guy up still hates you, right? This is not Deli Rodriguez. It's a very different

Rodriguez. It's a very different situation.

>> Yeah. Um to say the least, and it's actually a funny article like Iran is not Venezuela for all the dummies who might think that this could be done similarly.

>> Um you just had well you always have big guests. Um but you had a very big guest.

guests. Um but you had a very big guest.

Uh Kla Harris was on the partner's perspective. What did she say about

perspective. What did she say about potentially running in 2028 and what stuck out to you about, you know, her priorities and how she's thinking about our political moment?

>> Well, as any good politician, uh she did not announce her candidacy for 2028 on my show.

>> I know it sucks. Do you Did you get some sort of guarantee that if she is going to run that she's going to announce on the partner's perspective?

>> No. No.

>> No. You should try to work that in.

>> I I'll try. Um I do think she's going to run though based on >> Really? Yeah, I think she'll run. And

>> Really? Yeah, I think she'll run. And

personally, I think she'll announce by the end of the year. I think she's going to try to do like a Trump 2.0 of like announce right after the midterms >> and campaign for 48.

>> She's camping months.

>> I mean, do you know >> her book tour is a pseudo campaign.

>> Okay. I my and I don't know her. She has

not come on Raging Moderates. We have

asked. I think that she is to some degree just buying herself time and buying herself time as the front runner when she might not be running. Like I

feel like she's not going to run.

>> Listen, if she doesn't run, it's it kind of seems like Newsome's an inevit inevitability at this point. Um unless

something radically changes. If she does run, then I think it's a two-headed kind of race. And

of race. And >> California monster.

>> Yeah. And we'll see who beats them out if anyone can. Um, but I mean I no I didn't get anything from her on on terms of running. In terms of where her head's
