Yeah.

But once we got past that and we finished driving up to Oregon… The first night we were in Oregon, the Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce had sent out letters to chambers of commerce across the country telling we would be passing through their cities.

And the town of Lebanon replied and said, hey, we have a place for the guys to stay the first night.

And Lebanon is? Lebanon, Oregon.

Oregon, okay.

It's a little bit east of Corvallis.

Okay.

This was not your only

Jack Smith.

Th- thank you, thank you, Mr.

Speaker.

There is really promising and exciting evidence about the successful use of fi- uh, psychedelic therapy treatments for trauma, mental health, PTSD, and end-of-life distress.

Unfortunately, because many psychedelics are Schedule 1 controlled drugs, it makes access for clinical research bureaucratic and difficult.

So would the Prime Minister and indeed members across the house consider supporting my amendments to the health bill next week when it returns, which would keep safeguards in place, but remove some of the barriers to some of this important research and treatment?

Uh-huh

... stuff like that.

Uh, the team of agents who worked on the cases I investigated, John, I've been doing this for 30 years.

These people were superstars.

They were the best of the best.

Um, a lot of them were veterans, uh, people who'd served their country in all different sorts of ways.

And to see those folks demonized, uh, and cast aside, uh, I, I just...

Yeah.

I asked you this when you walked in and I'll ask you, how weird is it to view it as part of your service to tell the story of the investigations you led?

Yeah, well, you know, I was a career prosecutor.

I worked in the Justice Department and other prosecutors offices for near on 30 years.

And I don't know if your viewers know this, but I work in Republican and Democratic administrations over and over.

I was the acting U.S. attorney in the first Trump administration in Nashville, Tennessee.

And that administration appointed me.

to a position running a war crimes tribunal for the State Department.

But is that because they haven't run into any friction from the politicization and the weaponization cases?

I asked you this when you walked in, I'll, and I'll ask you, y- how weird is it to view it as part of your service to, to tell the story of the investigations you led?

Yeah.

Well, you know, I was a career prosecutor.

I worked in the Justice Department and other prosecutor's offices for near on 30 years.

And, uh, I don't know if your viewers know this, but I work in Republican and Democratic administrations over and over.

I was the acting US attorney, uh, in the first Trump administration in Nashville, Tennessee, and that administration appointed me, um, to a position running a war crimes tribunal for the State Department.

Uh, so I have investigated cases focusing on the facts and the law throughout my career.

Um, will you talk a little bit about the, the price people have paid who have been purged for political purposes?

What did you do yesterday, Jack?

Well, Julia called, um, someone she'd been working with for a long time that didn't list yet.

Jake actually got one on Sunday night, so that's a little bit of cheating, but he did get it.

And we got one yesterday when we went into Gulfport, and we're taking the people back out today to look at other condos.

So, um, I, I don't...

All I can tell you is what you have done for us is unbelievable.

I saw that Lindsay's on here.

Mm.

This doesn't sound good for Colchester Zoo.

No, it's not.

It's terrible branding for them.

Right? Every...

honestly, and I reckon we had a 35% hit rate of seeing animals in the things, and there was nothing in there, right? One, I, I swear, this is 100% true, there was a crowd of people around one of the enclosures.

I don't know what it was for.

There was a pigeon in there-

Yeah.
