Most carry a maximum sentence of 20 years each.

In national politics now.

Gun laws.

Ice nationalized elections and the federal budget.

U.S.

Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky and his guest, Congressman Thomas Massie of the fourth Congressional District, talked about all of those issues and more during a video town hall last night.

Congressman Massie recapped where things now stand with the Jeffrey Epstein Files and discussed his sponsorship of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

>> It gave the DOJ 30 days to publish all of the Epstein files.

Well, they missed their deadline.

And you know, that's bad enough.

But they made some other mistakes.

They accidentally against the law.

The law says don't release victims information.

But they say it was an accident.

They released the names of victims, which they weren't supposed to do.

And the most concerning thing is they're still covering up files or they're over redacting files.

This week, starting on Monday, I had a chance to go to the DOJ and look at the unredacted files.

And I found out of those millions of documents, I just looked at 40 of them, and I found three documents where they were redacting names of coconspirators of Jeffrey Epstein in the sex trafficking ring.

Right.

Leslie Wexner is one of them.

He's a former CEO.

He's still alive.

He should go to court.

He's listed in the FBI's documents as a coconspirator and then several other names that I forced the release of.

There's a very troubling email in the Epstein files where somebody sends Epstein a torture video and he says, I really enjoyed the torture video with the redacted who it came from.

And I went in there, I got the email that it came from, and I was able to use the DOJ's own computers to match the email up with an individual.

And it's a sultan from overseas that Jeffrey Epstein interacted with quite frequently.

>> Senator Rand Paul has been critical of Ice.

After two deadly shootings in Minneapolis.

He talked about the recent shooting death of a 37 year old nurse.

>> The problem turns out, is in in in Minnesota and Minneapolis.

And I'm going to have a hearing on this this week.

And I'm bringing in people from Minnesota to answer these questions.

In Minnesota, the mayor of Minneapolis said, this is Mayor Frey.

He said in December of this year, no cooperation.

In fact, you're not allowed to cooperate at all.

Well, then that's a problem.

And so then the Ice people said, well, if the jails aren't going to turn him over to us, we have to send 3000 agents.

And then when they got 3000 agents there, some things happened that shouldn't have happened.

And look, I think most of the people who work for Ice and most people in our government are good people.

Law enforcement is a hard job.

I think they're trying to do the best.

But when I saw that video, it bothered me.

I didn't see a man attacking ice.

I saw a man retreating, and I don't think the people meant to be what happened?

I think if you could ask them, they'd probably say they feel bad that that, you know, about the shooting and I would, you know, anybody has to feel bad about it, but it has to get better.

And so really, Homan has gone in and he's not a shrinking violet by any means.

He went in, he said he's going to reduce the agents by 700.

He told the agents, if you misbehave, you will be punished and maybe it's going to get better.

But we have to have more communication.

So there is some blame that goes on Minnesota for not, you know, for trying to nullify federal immigration law.

But there also is too much force.

I'm going to ask the head of Ice on Thursday what is the appropriate use of force.

I mean, I think if, you know, some of these are women being thrown to the ground where the woman probably is maybe saying something nasty, something bad, or protesting, but you shouldn't throw somebody to the ground for being obnoxious.

And so a lot of people have seen those videos and they don't think it's right.

>> Congressman Massie is a candidate for reelection in Kentucky's fourth congressional district.

He has disagreed with President Donald Trump on some budget and foreign policy matters and more at Gallrein is running against Massie in the May Republican primary, and has
