32. It is OK to challenge the media people. Republicans bully them all the time.

There are nice ways to do this. Something like, "Now Jake, CNN is one of the preeminent news sources. You guys have a vast library of, well everything, and you have some of the most capable researchers in the business. In that vast library of information, can you find a single event, a single clip, a single vote, a single press conference, a single public statement where any Democrat even vaguely hinted they didn't want a full disclosure of the Epstein affair. I'm serious, Jake. I don't know of any. If you do, I'd like to know about it because I will condemn that because the whole thing is horrible. And if any Democrats or Dem supporters were involved in Epstein's crimes, I will do everything in my power to see that they face strong consequences for that. And on the other hand, we had a vote just last week where every Republican on the Rules Committee voted to bury the information."
