1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:00,600
Speaker 1: Months.

2
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 2: I had to avoid Jeffrey, but he told me that

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 2: if I wanted to succeed as a Ford model, he

4
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 2: could make it happen.

5
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:09,239
Speaker 3: And he was right.

6
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 4: He introduced me to.

7
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 2: Katie Ford and many others in the entertainment business. His

8
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 2: grip on the modeling business was undeniable, not just the

9
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 2: Ford family, but Victoria's secret, Faith Kates, Jean lu Brunell,

10
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: Victory's secret. Epstein's reach went to the very top of fashion.

11
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 2: He could make a model's career. What I didn't realize

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: then was that once he lured someone like me in,

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: he could also destroy my career if I did not

14
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: do what he wanted me to do. In New York City,

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 2: countless young women were abused by him. Everyone in the

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: industry knew, yet he was too powerful to stop. He

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: had friends and all of our entertainment and arts, and

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: his value to those friends made him untouchable. But I

19
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: ask you why who was he to our government that

20
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: he was allowed to operate openly for decades? Why was

21
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: he allowed to sponsor visas for young models, using their

22
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: immigration status and leverage to abuse them and silence them.

23
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: Epstein was not just a serial predator.

24
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: He was an international human trafficker, and many around him

25
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: knew this, many participated, and many profited, and yet he

26
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: was protected. I know what it's like to be trafficked

27
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: to others, and I know that the files contained the

28
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: names of powerful men who have been shielded because of

29
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: their fame.

30
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 5: Or their fortune.

31
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: So I stand here.

32
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: Today not just for myself, but for every woman who

33
00:01:52,240 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: has been silence, exploited, and dismissed. Thank you, and we

34
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: are not asking for pity. We are demanding accountability. Yes,

35
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: Congress must choose, will you continue to protect predators or

36
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: will you finally protect survivors? Right?

37
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 6: Transparency is justice.

38
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: Release the files and the secrecy, and stand with us

39
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: in declaring that no one, no billionaires, no politicians, not

40
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: world leaders, is above the law. And let me announce

41
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 2: now several of us Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our.

42
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 6: Own list of names.

43
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: We know the names, many of us were abused by them. Now, together,

44
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 2: as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all

45
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: know we're regularly in the Epstein world, and it will

46
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 2: be done by survivors and four survivors.

47
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 5: No one else is involved.

48
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: Stay tuned for more details on that, because history is

49
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: washing and so are.

50
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 5: The women who will come after us.

51
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you.

52
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 6: If that's not bravery, I do not know what.

53
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: Okay, we're bringing up another group of women.

54
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 7: Ashley, Danny, Jess Haley, and Wendy come on up.

55
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 8: Okay, we're watching live from Capitol Husband moved up a

56
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 8: little bit so to be ten thirty d victims. This

57
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 8: is the victims of Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking there on Capitol

58
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 8: Hill today. Let's cut back to where I cover this

59
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 8: in its entirety, then probably go to the White House

60
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 8: for the arrival of the Polish presidents, go back to

61
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 8: Capitol Hill.

62
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 9: I'm a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein and Glene Maxwell.

63
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: Some things I want to.

64
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 9: Say to any survivors out there who feel like they

65
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 9: don't matter.

66
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if you went once or countless times.

67
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 9: We were groomed, we were manipulated, and we were taken

68
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 9: advantage off yep For decades, survivors have been suffocated by speculation.

69
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 9: We've been mocked, we've been doubted, We've been re traumatized.

70
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 9: While those that heiden, while those responsible hide in secrecy,

71
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 9: why don't we deserve justice.

72
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: This is not partisan.

73
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 9: However, this is very political, as the only path to

74
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 9: justice is through our political system. And this is about justice,

75
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 9: This is about accountability. This is about protecting the innocence

76
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 9: of our children and honoring the dignity of survivors.

77
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: Everywhere we turn, the story follows us.

78
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 9: It's in headlines, jokes, music, grocery store checkout lines, random

79
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 9: conversations that you hear people having in restaurants. For more

80
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 9: than twenty years, we've been unable to escape it, and

81
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 9: every time new promises are made, our sparks of.

82
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 10: Hope are lit, only to be extinguished again.

83
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 6: We are tired.

84
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 9: However, we are not going away.

85
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 4: We will not stop.

86
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 9: Or give up, and we will be on the front

87
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 9: lines of this battle.

88
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 6: We are no longer scared.

89
00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 11: And let's be clear, there were so many adults, those

90
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 11: enablers actively turned to blind eye and they are the

91
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 11: greatest danger.

92
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: Yes, and you know who you are, as do we.

93
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: You allowed us to be abused for a.

94
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 12: Fat check and a cushy life, which.

95
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 6: You still have.

96
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 9: And to those in power hear us, clearly, do your job,

97
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 9: release what needs to be released, yes, and hold those

98
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 9: responsible accountable.

99
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 6: Survivors.

100
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 13: Sorry, thank you.

101
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 9: Survivors deserve peace, Survivors deserve truth, survivors deserve justice. And

102
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 9: to my fellow survivors, your voice matters, your story matters,

103
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 9: and you matter.

104
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: Together we are louder than silence.

105
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,239
Speaker 9: Together, we will not stop until justice is done.

106
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 12: Thank good afternoon.

107
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: Wow, a lot of people showed out for us today.

108
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 12: I wasn't expecting all this support.

109
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 14: What an incredible feeling, and thank you for everybody for

110
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 14: being here.

111
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 12: I'm going to try to make.

112
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 15: This as quick so the other girls.

113
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 16: Don't have to be crunching for time.

114
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 12: My name is Hailey Robson.

115
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 14: I came out in twenty nineteen on the documentary Filthy Rich.

116
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 14: I have been very focused on bringing more awareness to

117
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 14: all of the survivors. I am so proud to stand

118
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 14: with them. I am so proud to be up here

119
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 14: to support them because they deserve all the love and support.

120
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 14: And I just want to say to the women who

121
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 14: chose this moment to come out for the very first

122
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 14: time about your abuse, I cannot think of a more important,

123
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 14: greater purpose in life than to stand in solidarity when

124
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 14: time is against us, when the politicians.

125
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 15: Have made us an enemy, when.

126
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 14: The world is watching and everybody is hoping for some

127
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 14: type of result.

128
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 17: Thank you for choosing this moment for the first.

129
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: Time to be so brave to come out and stand

130
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: in solidarity.

131
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 17: I prayed for a moment.

132
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 14: I prayed for this moment where God would fill us

133
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 14: with reinforcements.

134
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 18: I want to acknowledge all the.

135
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 14: Women, unfortunately that couldn't be here today, because I think

136
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 14: that is the only list of real great importance. And

137
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,479
Speaker 14: we should never forget the voices that were not only silenced,

138
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 14: but that are not here today, and we should never

139
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 14: forget the sacrifices.

140
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 12: That they made.

141
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 17: So today I would.

142
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 14: Like to take a moment for Virginia, Sky, Danielle and Carolyn.

143
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,599
Speaker 14: Their voices were just as powerful, and they were silenced

144
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 14: just as much, and for some reason, I can feel

145
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 14: their spirit, especially Virginia's today.

146
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 15: She would be so proud and she would be.

147
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 14: So beside herself to see this one moment we have

148
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 14: all came together to unite and for our government and

149
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 14: for the politicians who have taken our trauma and have

150
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 14: weaponized it against us, making it unbearable, making it unlivable,

151
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 14: making it hard to move on in a life that

152
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 14: we wish to live in happiness and joy and peace

153
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 14: and injustice that can only come from within. At this point,

154
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 14: and we have gotten to this point.

155
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 16: Shame on you.

156
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 14: Shame on you for using our trauma to weaponize this moment.

157
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 18: We are not.

158
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: Going to be fooled by your trickery.

159
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 16: We are not going to be.

160
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 14: Fooled by the lies, by the conspiracy theories. We are

161
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 14: the keys to this situation.

162
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 15: We have the truth, and the FBI knows the truth.

163
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 17: The government knows the truth.

164
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: You may pull the wool over the sheep's eyes.

165
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 15: But we are the keys. We know who was involved,

166
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 15: We know the game, we know the.

167
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 14: Players, and we are sitting here for twenty years waiting

168
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 14: for you to get up and do something.

169
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 15: Well, guess what. Your time is up, and now we're

170
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 15: doing it.

171
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: How do you follow that?

172
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 19: Hello, everybody, my name is Wendy Pissante and I was

173
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 19: abused by Jeffrey Epstein when I was fourteen years old.

174
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 19: I'm not here to relive what happened. I'm here to

175
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 19: be counted and to make sure others are counted too.

176
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 19: I once believed my silence was strength pulled it together.

177
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 19: Don't draw attention today, I know that strength sounds like

178
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 19: my voice. It sounds like everybody's voice is up here.

179
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 19: Silence only protects creditors, not children. People ask, what about

180
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 19: the victims. We're here, we're here today, and there's more

181
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 19: of us. I stand with many who are still finding

182
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 19: their words.

183
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: I live in a world where.

184
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 19: Being understood is a struggle, where people in power would

185
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 19: rather sweep us under the rug in hopes.

186
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 15: That will go away.

187
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: We won't. Being a survivor is not a headline.

188
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 19: It's our life. We have to live it. It's panic

189
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 19: in a grocery store. It's smiling at work while my

190
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 19: hands tremble. It's waking up at three am with my

191
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 19: heart racing and not knowing why. It's living with PTSD

192
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 19: anxiety and depression and your nervous systems on guard at

193
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 19: all times, even in the safest room around the safest people.

194
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: Healing isn't tidy. It's therapy. It's waitless.

195
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 19: It's trying a medication and trying again, over and over

196
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 19: for years. It's setting boundaries with some people who won't understand.

197
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 19: Survival isn't weakness, it's wisdom we've earned. If you are

198
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 19: a survivor, hearing me. Your voice is never too late,

199
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 19: too much, or too little. If all you could do

200
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 19: was show up today, you're already trying to make a difference.

201
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 19: You do not owe anyone your story. You are owed safety, care,

202
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 19: and belief. Your breath is proof that harm does not

203
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 19: get the last word. I'm not asking anyone to take

204
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 19: a political side. I really don't even follow a lot

205
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 19: of political politics.

206
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: I'm asking you to take a stand in solidarity.

207
00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 20: Protect the vulnerable, not the powerful, Protect children and survivors,

208
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 20: not titles and reputations.

209
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 19: Our silence doesn't keep us safe, and I hope today's

210
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 19: courage from all of us ladies can help someone else

211
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 19: be safer tomorrow.

212
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: We are here and we refuse to be erased.

213
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 19: So thank you, guys for listening to all.

214
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: Of us and being here today.

215
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 5: Thank you, hello everybody, Thank you for being here.

216
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 10: Thank you.

217
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 21: As I stand here today and look around, I want

218
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 21: to acknowledge what it feels like to be in the

219
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 21: presence of these incredibly powerful women that I stand up

220
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 21: here with. I am so empowered by each and every

221
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 21: one of your fortitude, and I am following in the

222
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 21: brave footsteps of those that came before me. While we

223
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 21: each have our own stories and walk down different paths

224
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 21: of life. We are bonded together as survivors. When I

225
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 21: look into these beautiful faces, reminded that we all started

226
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 21: our journeys with big hopes and dreams. Jeffrey Epstein and

227
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 21: his co conspirator Gelan Maxwell stole and systematically destroyed those dreams.

228
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 21: We are a mosaic of shattered hopes and dreams at

229
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 21: their hands. As an aspiring dancer, the manipulation came in

230
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 21: forms of offering me dance studio space, discussing opportunities to meet.

231
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: With ballet masters, and aiding a very ill.

232
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 21: Family member of mine, none of which would ever come

233
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 21: to pass. Instead, I was left cycle of abuse that

234
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 21: wore me down and broke me. When it happened, I

235
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 21: would have to completely disassociate, similar to a coma. My

236
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 21: brain would need to protect itself, so I would retreat

237
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 21: and choreographing in my own head to escape the cruel

238
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 21: acts that were being carried.

239
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 10: Out on my body.

240
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 21: After I would go to the studio bundled in giant

241
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 21: baggy clothing. I remember standing there staring in the mirror

242
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 21: as if it were an empty void. I was past

243
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 21: the point of tears. There was nothing left. I was

244
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 21: a hollow shell of myself. I could no longer watch

245
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 21: my body move, let alone dance. He had taken something

246
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 21: sacred from me. Two decades later, I am still experiencing lingering.

247
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 10: Effects of what happened to me as a teenager.

248
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 21: I am just one story in the mosaic of women

249
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 21: taking back their power by confronting the horrific truths of

250
00:15:58,720 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 21: their pasts.

251
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 6: Do to Jeffrey.

252
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: Epstein and Gillian Maxwell.

253
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 21: We stand here today in the nation's capital for no

254
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 21: other reason than to say that women's voices will not

255
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 21: be marginalized. We stand together as a mosaic of stories,

256
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 21: but we're also finding our way back to ourselves. We

257
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 21: are reclaiming the fragmented shards of the hopes and dreams

258
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 21: of our past to paint a better future for the

259
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 21: next generation of women.

260
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 5: This story has come.

261
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 15: To Washington to be told, you will be heard.

262
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 18: Thank you.

263
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 6: My name is JEFS.

264
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 13: Michaels, and I'm in nineteen ninety one, j Epstein's survivor.

265
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: Twenty seven years.

266
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 13: For twenty seven years thought I was the only one that.

267
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein righted.

268
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 13: I believed I was alone, and I was kept silent

269
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 13: by the shame that was inside me and by the

270
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 13: fear outside in the world. But I wasn't the only one.

271
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 15: None of us.

272
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 13: Were, and what once kept us silent now fuels that

273
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 13: fire and the power of our voices. We are not

274
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 13: the footnotes in some infamous predators tabloid article. We are

275
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 13: the experts and the subjects of this story.

276
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: We are the proof that fear did not break us.

277
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 22: And we don't just speak for ourselves, but for every

278
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 22: survivor whose story is still unspoken, for those not with

279
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 22: us today.

280
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 13: For Virginia, whose courage lit the path and opened the

281
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 13: door for us to walk through.

282
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: This is what power looks like.

283
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 22: Survivors united, voices.

284
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 4: Join, refusing to be dismissed.

285
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 23: Know this.

286
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 22: Justice and accountability are not favors from the powerful. They

287
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 22: are obligations decades overdue. This moment began with Epstein's crimes,

288
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 22: but it's going to be remembered for survivors demanding justice,

289
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 22: demanding truth.

290
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 4: Demanding accountability.

291
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: And we will not stop until.

292
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 22: Survivor voices shape justice, transform culture, and define the future.

293
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 20: We are no longer whispers.

294
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 18: We are one.

295
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 13: Powerful voice, too loud to ignore and we will never

296
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 13: be silenced again.

297
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 23: Thank you.

298
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:29,239
Speaker 8: Okay, this is actually a pre press conference. What's going

299
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 8: to happen. They're going to migrate now over to the

300
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 8: UH to the well and let's see if we can

301
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 8: pick up anything from the microphone right there.

302
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:38,479
Speaker 6: He's a lawyer.

303
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 7: Sometimes survivors are ready to be seen, they're not ready

304
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 7: to be heard, and so we would love to bring

305
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 7: you up because you represent so many survivors who are

306
00:19:51,840 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 7: so critical to this story.

307
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 17: Good morning everyone.

308
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 24: My name is Eric Fudali, and I've had the privilege

309
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 24: of representing up to eleven survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, and

310
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 24: one of them is standing next to me here today.

311
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 18: This is Rosa.

312
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 24: You may not realize this, but what I just did

313
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 24: is the first time anyone has ever said Rosa's name

314
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 24: publicly as being attached and being abused by Jeffrey Epstein.

315
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 5: And this is also the first time she.

316
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 24: Has ever appeared publicly as a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein.

317
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 24: And I say that because it was last night that

318
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 24: she flew into Washington, d C. Inspired by the solidarity

319
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 24: of all of you, by the compassion of all of you,

320
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 24: the rage of all of you to be here today,

321
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 24: and I'm so proud of Rosa, and I'm so proud

322
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 24: of all of you. But the truth is, Rosa shouldn't

323
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 24: be here today.

324
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 17: Rosa shouldn't have to be here today, and I'm going

325
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 17: to tell you why.

326
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 24: Because Rosa was trafficked from Uzbekistan under the guise of

327
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 24: a modeling contract in two thousand and nine. That means

328
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 24: that Rosa wouldn't be here today if alex Acosta had it,

329
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 24: had Jeffrey Epstein, in his grasp, had what every single

330
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 24: law enforcement officer dreams of to stop a predator in

331
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 24: his tracks, and what did he do. He gave him

332
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 24: a slap on the wrist and led him to continue

333
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 24: to abuse. And had he not, Evsen never would have

334
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 24: met Rosa, and Rosa would not have to.

335
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 12: Be here today.

336
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 24: But none of you should have to be here today.

337
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 24: None of you should have to be there today because

338
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 24: when Jeffrey Epstein was finally arrested in twenty sixteen and

339
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 24: under federal custody, he wouldn't have been allowed to take

340
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 24: his own life and avoid the accountability and justice you

341
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 24: all deserve.

342
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 6: And none of you.

343
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 24: Should be here today because Glaine Maxwell should not have

344
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 24: been given a platform to deny the crimes against her,

345
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 24: who was convicted, who was convicted of trafficking and tricking fourteen.

346
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 18: Year old girls.

347
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 24: She should not have been given a platform, and she

348
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 24: should not have been rewarded after that platform and a

349
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 24: minimum security resort. And none of you should have to

350
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 24: be here today because they should just release the files.

351
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 24: No more slow rolling, no more meetings, no more strategy,

352
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 24: no more interviews behind doors.

353
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 6: Release the files and give you all and.

354
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 24: Rosa the accountability, the exposure, and most importantly the closure

355
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 24: you all deserve.

356
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 6: Thank you.

357
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 7: Our last speaker this morning is no stranger to the

358
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 7: plate of survivors. And so with that, I'd love to

359
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 7: welcome Gloria Allred to wrap us up here.

360
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 25: Give a big round of applause to all the survivors and.

361
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 15: All the victims and all the supporters today.

362
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 6: I commend you, and it matters that you're here.

363
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 25: Let me just say your voice is important. But power

364
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 25: only recognizes power, and for many years we have not

365
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 25: exercised our power in a way that helped win change,

366
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 25: and you all and we all.

367
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 18: Have been betrayed.

368
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 25: I represent Alisha Arden and twenty six other brave survivors

369
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 25: of Jeffrey Epstein and some of Elaine Maxwell, Colne Maxwell.

370
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 25: And in nineteen ninety seven, my client Alisha Arden went

371
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 25: to the police in Santa Monica and said that she.

372
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 18: Had been.

373
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 25: The victim of sexually inappropriate conduct by Jeffrey Epstein when

374
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 25: he invited her to be auditioning for Victoria's Secret catalog.

375
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 5: And she went to the police and they said, why

376
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 5: don't you think.

377
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 15: About it before you file a police report.

378
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 25: She thought about it and came back the following week

379
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,959
Speaker 25: and filed the documented police report against Jeffrey Epstein in

380
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 25: nineteen ninety seven. And you all were betrayed because there

381
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 25: was no prosecution.

382
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 15: Believe women, Let's hear it. Believe believe women. Believe women.

383
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 25: And then the victims and all of us were betrayed.

384
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 25: When in Florida, mister Acosta made that deal. US attorney

385
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 25: is for the Southern District of Florida made that deal

386
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 25: that instead of sixty felony counts that could have been

387
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 25: filed by the United States Attorney, two counts were filed

388
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 25: by the state attorney, and Jeffrey Epstein, without having a trial,

389
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 25: was able to go to his office every day as

390
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 25: part of the sentence and just sleep in the jail

391
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 25: at night for thirteen months?

392
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 18: Is that justice? Trade?

393
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 25: And then of course there was New York, New York,

394
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 25: where Jeffrey Epstein was brought in arrested. I saw him

395
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 25: at the last hearing in federal court, and so many

396
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 25: victims and so many survivors thought, at last, there's justice.

397
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 25: But instead of justice, there was a dead body the

398
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 25: Metropolitan Correctional Center. And questions are still being asked. Was

399
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 25: it suicide? Was it homicide? But the victims never got

400
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 25: to testify a trial and confront that sexual predator.

401
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: Was that justice?

402
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 15: This is We're overdue for justice. We're not going to

403
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 15: be waiting for justice.

404
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 25: We are fighting for justice. And let me tell you

405
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 25: no more talk of the word pedophiles, which only means

406
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 25: a man who has attracted to children. Talking about pedophiles,

407
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 25: we're talking about sexual predators and child molesters.

408
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 14: Let's get the word in about what the crime was

409
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 14: that they committed.

410
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 15: Do you agree?

411
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 25: And finally, let me just say they took These predators

412
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 25: took advantage of vulnerable children, of vulnerable adults. And we

413
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 25: know how vulnerable women can be, and they abuse their power,

414
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 25: and they abuse their trust, and it's time to meet

415
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 25: power with power. There are three stages of evolution. The

416
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 25: first is victim, the second is survivor, and the third

417
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 25: is fighter for change. Are you going to make fighters

418
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 25: for change?

419
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 26: Not just today but every day, not just in politics

420
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 26: and congress, but in lawsuits, in speaking to people.

421
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 25: Your coworkers, your children, and your mothers, help them, support them,

422
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 25: to stand up.

423
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 3: To win justice.

424
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 25: Because nobody has ever given women and children any rights.

425
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 25: We've always had to fight to win them. We've had

426
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 25: to fight to keep them. Will you fight that fight?

427
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 25: And I leave you with.

428
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 16: This one of my favorite sayings.

429
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 25: Pray for the dead, and that's for Virginia Roberts and

430
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,479
Speaker 25: all those who didn't make it here today.

431
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 27: Pray for the dead, but fight like hell for the living.

432
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: Keep up the fight, let me hear it. Keep up

433
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: the fight.

434
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 25: Keep up the fight, Keep up the fight, keep up

435
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 25: the fight.

436
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 28: Thank you very much, thank you, thank you everybody for coming.

437
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 28: One last unbelievable allying cheer for all the survivors here.

438
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 18: What do we want? Where do we want it?

439
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 28: Okay, everybody, there's the press conference starting in a few minutes.

440
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 28: Do you want to just gone over and we'll meet

441
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 28: you over there.

442
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 8: Whoever wants Okay, we're going to go live. Also, you

443
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 8: have Tom Massey and Rokahanna. The reason this is happening today,

444
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 8: there's a discharge petition.

445
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 27: What a discharge petition means.

446
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 8: That they can actually take it to the to the

447
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 8: floor for a vote. They got all the Democrats think

448
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 8: two twelve Massey has he says four Republicans, So I

449
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 8: think there are three other Republicans. There are two sixteen, uh,

450
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 8: and I believe MTG and Nancy Mace and Lauren Bobert

451
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 8: are the three they're looking for more. They got to

452
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 8: get to eighteen to pass it. This press conference is

453
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 8: going to start momentarily. They will also have additional victims

454
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 8: up there for Epstein of course, maybe a couple of

455
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 8: the lawyers representing them. Very big day on this on

456
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 8: Capitol Hill, forced by Rocannas and Tom Massey's discharge petition.

457
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 8: There is a ton of other stuff going on. They're

458
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 8: going to try to get to by the way, as

459
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 8: soon as they're at the podium, what's going to cut

460
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 8: to it. I got doctor Bradley Thayer in standby this

461
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 8: parade last night.

462
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 27: Actually was much bigger. It was a geo it was.

463
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 8: A geopolitical flex. President Trump did not respond well to it.

464
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 8: President Trump actually called out, as we mentioned yesterday on

465
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 8: the show, that the Chinese Comediest Party didn't do a

466
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 8: whole lot of fighting in World War Two, and that

467
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 8: it was essentially American blood in the Pacific that drove

468
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 8: to the and also allow Bijing Chinese Chinese civilians who

469
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 8: were not tied to the Chinese Commanist Party. So President

470
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 8: Trump put out a pretty brutal tweet last night. Doctor

471
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 8: Thayer is going to join us. Also, huge developments in

472
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 8: the Google case. I think Google will slip the you know,

473
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 8: got out of a massive you know government trying to

474
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 8: break them up. Google slipped it. There's all types of

475
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 8: things going on. The court, Mike in the courts. Mike

476
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 8: Davis is over at the National Conservative Conference right now

477
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 8: giving a speech. Mike Davis hopefully will join us. We

478
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 8: are going to cut to the White House. The Polish

479
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 8: president is supposed to be there talk to President Trump

480
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:26,479
Speaker 8: about Ukraine.

481
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 27: Very important meeting.

482
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 8: I'm sure President Trump is going to give a press avail,

483
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 8: and I'm sure there'll be a couple of three questions

484
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 8: about what just occurred outside the Capitol across from the

485
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 8: Supreme Court on this pre press conference with the victims.

486
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 8: Like I said, Rocanna and Tom Massey doing a discharge

487
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 8: petition today. I don't remember ever a discharge petition working,

488
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 8: but this one I think might have some traction. Let's go,

489
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 8: let's cut live to the second press conference and we'll

490
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 8: jump in right afterwards.

491
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 17: Yes, nations that allows rich and how many.

492
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 29: Young girls without consequention, a nation that has lost its

493
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 29: world export American asking a very simple question all. Ultimately,

494
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 29: that is the ridges, powerful huntings in the tail.

495
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 23: There are a riting special.

496
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 5: Interest Courses.

497
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 15: Dostic that a consenting to release.

498
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 17: Console SE files.

499
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 15: There is something that is rotten in Washington.

500
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 17: These files have been released.

501
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 29: We're demanding today on the district position that all of

502
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 29: the files.

503
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 17: We know we have two and we have four Republicans,

504
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 17: courageous Republicans like Thomas.

505
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 29: Hear Nancy Mays of the full Epstein files. There is

506
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 29: something that is rotten in Washington. Less than one percent

507
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 29: of these files have been released. We are demanding today

508
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 29: on the discharge petition that all of the files be released.

509
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 29: We know we have two hundred and twelve Democrats, and

510
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 29: we have four Republicans, courageous Republicans like Thomas Massey, Nancy Mace,

511
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 29: who was so emotional yesterday after talking to the survivors,

512
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 29: Congresswoman Bobert and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green. We need just

513
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 29: two more signatures to force the release. So we gather

514
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 29: here on the steps of the Capitol to confront these

515
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 29: corrupt forces today. We stand with survivors, We stand against

516
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 29: big money. We stand to protect America's children. That is

517
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 29: really what this is about. I now want to bring

518
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 29: up my Republican colleague Thomas Massey. He has shown so

519
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 29: much courage, so much leadership, and I saw some people

520
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 29: I say the same thing about Marjorie Taylorgreen. She has

521
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 29: shown so much courage on this issue. I saw some

522
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 29: people when I was coming here calling her names. We've

523
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 29: got to stop that. We've got to stop the partisanship

524
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 29: on this issue. This is an issue where they both

525
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 29: have shown real courage and leadership, and I appreciate them

526
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 29: joining us today. Congressman Massey, I want to thank my

527
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 29: colleague Rocanna for co leading this effort to bring transparency

528
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 29: and justice for these victims.

529
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 16: I hope my colleagues are watching this press conference.

530
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 30: I want them to think, what if this was your sister,

531
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 30: what if this was your daughter? When these survivors speak,

532
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 30: the Washington establishment is asking the American public to believe

533
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 30: something that is not believe evable. They're asking you to

534
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 30: believe that two individuals created hundreds of victims and they

535
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 30: acted alone, and that the DOJ has no idea of

536
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 30: who else might have been involved, that nobody else did

537
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 30: anything that rose to a criminal enterprise. The American people

538
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 30: know that's not true. Now, the Speaker of the House

539
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 30: just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're going

540
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,720
Speaker 30: to vote on a non binding resolution today that does

541
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 30: absolutely nothing. I appreciate the efforts of my colleague James Comer,

542
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 30: who's leading the oversight committee. They may find some information,

543
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 30: but they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the

544
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,959
Speaker 30: information that the DOJ is giving them. If you've looked

545
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 30: at the pages they've released so far, they're heavily redacted,

546
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 30: Some pages are entirely redacted, and ninety seven percent of

547
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 30: this is already in the public domain. So I'm calling

548
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 30: on my colleagues be one one of the next two

549
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 30: who sponsors this discharge petition. I think it's shameful that

550
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 30: this has been called a hoax. Hopefully today we can

551
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 30: clear that up. This is not a hoax, This is real.

552
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 30: There are real survivors, There are real victims to this

553
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 30: criminal enterprise, and the perpetrators are being protected because they're

554
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 30: rich and powerful and political donors to the establishment here

555
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 30: in Washington, d C. So today we're standing with these

556
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 30: survivors and we're giving them a voice, and I want

557
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 30: to close by thanking them.

558
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 15: They are brave.

559
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 30: I hope they encourage other survivors to come forward and

560
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 30: to tell their stories, not just of Jeffrey, Epstein and Maxwell,

561
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 30: but anywhere in the country. This is a message that

562
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 30: we are sending. This is a litmus test. Can we

563
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 30: drain the swamp?

564
00:36:58,600 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 12: CA?

565
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 30: Are there people who are outside of the reach of

566
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 30: the law. I don't think there should be. So hopefully

567
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 30: today we'll get two more signatures on the discharge petition.

568
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 15: That's all we need.

569
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 30: And with that, I want to introduce the bravest woman

570
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 30: in Congress, Marjorie Taylor Green. I find it interesting that

571
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 30: the three Republican co sponsors are women. These are women

572
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 30: standing up for women, and Marjorie was the first to

573
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 30: do it, and I think she deserves all of our

574
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 30: gratitude for breaking that barrier and leading the way for

575
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 30: the other Republicans. Hopefully they can find their spines as well.

576
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 30: And with that, I give you, Marjorie Taylor Green.

577
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 6: Good morning.

578
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 31: This is my fifth year in Congress, and this is

579
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 31: the largest press conference that I've seen since I've been here.

580
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,240
Speaker 31: And this is because this is an issue that matters

581
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 31: so much to Americans. This is an issue that doesn't

582
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 31: have political boundaries. It's an issue that Republicans and Democrats

583
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,919
Speaker 31: should never fight about. As a matter of fact, it's

584
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 31: such an important issue that it should bring us all together.

585
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,959
Speaker 31: It's grieved me to watch the arguments and debates take

586
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 31: place among my colleagues and even the administration. I think

587
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 31: this is something that was worth fighting for. You see

588
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 31: the women behind me, are you going to tell you

589
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:31,760
Speaker 31: stories that you've never heard before? These are unimaginable horrors

590
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 31: that they've lived with for their entire lives, since they

591
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 31: were very, very young. But these are also similar stories

592
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 31: that many children, teenagers, women, and even men are enduring

593
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 31: nightmares right now as we speak. You see these women

594
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 31: have been fighting since the nineteen nineties. I heard one

595
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 31: woman tell us yesterday since nineteen ninety six, and they

596
00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 31: have carried with them shame.

597
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 6: But I want to tell you something.

598
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 31: The shame does not fall on these brave, courageous women.

599
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 31: The shame falls on every single person that coldly turned

600
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 31: a blind eye to their abuse. The shamefalls on every

601
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 31: single person that enabled it. The shamefalls on every single

602
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 31: person that took money to continue it. And the shame

603
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 31: falls on the people in power over the past several

604
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 31: decades that protected the monster, Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal

605
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 31: that continued a nightmare.

606
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 6: Those people deserve the shame.

607
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 31: And today we are coming forward and we are going

608
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 31: to fight like hell for these women, because we have

609
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 31: to fight like hell for those that are enduring sexual

610
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 31: abuse and are living in a prison of shame. Anyone

611
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 31: that is being abused, it is not your fault. You

612
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 31: should live with no guilt or fear or shame. All

613
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 31: of the fault belongs to the evil people that do

614
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 31: these things to the innocent. This is the most important

615
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 31: fight we can wage here in Congress is fighting for

616
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 31: innocent people that never receive justice and the women behind

617
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,240
Speaker 31: me have never received justice.

618
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 6: And do you want to know why.

619
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:30,240
Speaker 31: It's because Jeffriette Scene somehow was able to walk among

620
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 31: the most rich, powerful people, not only in America but

621
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 31: foreign countries. Yesterday I heard countries like Saudi Arabia, Russia

622
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 31: and even Israel and other countries. The truth needs to

623
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 31: come out, and the government holds the truth. The cases

624
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 31: that are sealed hold the truth. Jeffriette Scene's estate holds

625
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 31: the truth. The FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA holds

626
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,439
Speaker 31: the truth. And the truth we are demanding come out

627
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 31: on behalf of these women, but also as a strong

628
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 31: message to every innocent child, teenager, woman and man that

629
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 31: is being.

630
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 6: Held captive in abuse.

631
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 31: This should never happen in America and it should never

632
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 31: be a political issue.

633
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 6: That divides us.

634
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 31: And I want to thank Rocanna and Thomas Massey for

635
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 31: doing something brave, crossing political boundaries for a very important fight.

636
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 31: And I'm honored to join both of them. And I'm

637
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 31: honored that Nancy Mace and Lauren Bobert signed the discharge

638
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 31: petition along with myself, And I asked my Republican colleagues

639
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 31: not to choose just one path for justice and transparency

640
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 31: and accountability. But I asked my Republican colleagues to choose

641
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 31: every path for justice and account ability and transparency. And

642
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 31: with that, I'd like to bring back Congressman Rocanna to

643
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 31: start this important press conference.

644
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 29: Thank you very much, thank you, thank you, Thank you

645
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 29: Congresswoman Green for your courage and for being here. And

646
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 29: thank you again to Congressman Massey for cole leading it.

647
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 29: I now, I would like to introduce two people who

648
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 29: have been fighting this for decades. They haven't had their

649
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 29: voice heard, the victims haven't been heard. They haven't just

650
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 29: been on this in the last few months. They've been

651
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,439
Speaker 29: doing this in the wilderness for years, and they are

652
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 29: really models of courage. Bradley Edwards and Britney Henderson, who

653
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 29: are the attorneys for the victims.

654
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 15: Thank you for being Thank you Rowe and Thomas Massey.

655
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 32: I really appreciate you putting forth this discharge petition. It's

656
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,280
Speaker 32: tough to understand that we have to be here because

657
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 32: this doesn't seem like a part is an issue.

658
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 15: This is an issue.

659
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 32: Sex trafficking and sexual abuse transcends politics. We as Americans

660
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 32: expect equal protection under the law, and there can be

661
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 32: no doubt that Jeffrey Epstein received far greater protection than

662
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 32: any of the victims that he abused for years.

663
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 15: We've In two thousand and eight, Courtney Wilde.

664
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 32: Walked into my office because she was a part of

665
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,280
Speaker 32: a federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, where all she wanted

666
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 32: was the government to talk to her.

667
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 15: Little did she know the government had worked.

668
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 32: Out a secret immunity a deal for Jeffrey Epstein, and

669
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 32: we had to file Jane Does versus United States of

670
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 32: America to prove that Jeffrey Epstein worked out an illegal

671
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 32: non prosecution agreement with the government That was two thousand

672
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 32: and eight. It took us ten years battling the government

673
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 32: pro bono for the judge to ultimately determined that the

674
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 32: victim's rights were violated. The government has mistreated them after

675
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 32: Jeffrey Epstein mistreated them. We then filed civil lawsuits against

676
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 32: Gilenn Maxwell, which has resulted in her being in prison.

677
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 15: Our civil lawsuits led to her prosecution.

678
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 32: We filed lawsuits against Jeffrey Epstein, against his estate, and

679
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 32: against two financial institutions JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank that

680
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 32: proved that they provided knowingly provided the financial infrastructure for

681
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 32: a sex trafficking operation. Unfortunately, all of the documents and

682
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,760
Speaker 32: evidence that we have worked so hard to gather hide

683
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 32: behind protective orders, confidentiality agreements, and bank secrecy laws. That

684
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 32: is why this discharge petition is so important. While we

685
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 32: have seen the documents, you have it, and when you

686
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 32: see the documents, you're going to be appalled, and the

687
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 32: American people deserve to see everything. When you sign this

688
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 32: discharge petition, it should mean nothing is off limits. That

689
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:56,240
Speaker 32: means the documents in the possession of the CIA should

690
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 32: be made available, those in the possession of the FBI

691
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 32: going back decade should be made available. The sec financial

692
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 32: records in the possession of Finsen should.

693
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 15: Be made available. Everybody knows that evil.

694
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 32: Evil flourishes in the darkness, corruption flourishes in secrecy. It

695
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 32: is time right now to make a difference for the

696
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 32: women that are behind me, right now. They have been

697
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 32: courageous and fought through this whole thing. Whether you're a

698
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 32: Republican or you're a Democrat, this one is an easy call.

699
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 32: You're an American who cares about equal rights and equal

700
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 32: protection under the law, if you care about these women,

701
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 32: if you care about our country, and you care about

702
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 32: this issue.

703
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 15: This should pass with flying colors.

704
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 32: I really appreciate everybody being here.

705
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 6: Hian, good morning.

706
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 33: My name is Brittany Henderson, and I think in addition

707
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 33: to thanking the wonderful congressman and women who are here today,

708
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 33: we need to thank the women, and not just the

709
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 33: women who are going to speak, but the other women

710
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 33: who are standing behind them, along with other lawyers, Sacred McAuley,

711
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 33: and people who have been fighting for a very very

712
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 33: long time for the world to give this kind of

713
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 33: attention to an issue that it should have had forever.

714
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 4: This administration has.

715
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 33: The opportunity to do what the past administrations did not do.

716
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 33: This administration can either stand with the victims and stand

717
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 33: for the victims, or it can continue to hurt the

718
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 33: victims like has happened in the past. We aren't here

719
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 33: just to ask for transparency, though, we're here too to

720
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 33: ask for protection. The women here represent hundreds of other

721
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 33: women who we have spoken to, many of whom were

722
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 33: trafficked from other countries, from Eastern European countries where women

723
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 33: don't have the rights that we have here. Women don't

724
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 33: have the protections that we have here, and those women

725
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:45,919
Speaker 33: are terrified.

726
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 4: That their names will be released in these files.

727
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 33: The government won't know that they're victims to redact and

728
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 33: protect them. So we ask that you please, whoever is

729
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 33: going to be in charge of redacting these files and

730
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 33: in charge of this transparency, do it in a way

731
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 33: that protects the women brave enough to be here, but

732
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 33: also protects the women who are terrified that every day

733
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 33: when they turn the TV on, something bad is going

734
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 33: to happen to them in Ukraine, in Russia, in whatever

735
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 33: country they live in, because no one is listening to

736
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:12,720
Speaker 33: them there.

737
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,760
Speaker 6: So thank you for being here, thank you for listening.

738
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 33: And please protect these women while we seek transparency.

739
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 4: Good morning.

740
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 34: My name is Annushka de Giorgio, and I stand before

741
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 34: you today as a survivor of both Jeffrey.

742
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:29,720
Speaker 4: Epstein and Gilen Maxwell.

743
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 34: I want to thank Congressman Massi and Khanna for their

744
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 34: role in putting together this very very important bill. Every

745
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 34: day of this journey toward healing has come at a

746
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 34: profound cost to my mental health, but I am here.

747
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 4: I chose to come because this bill really matters.

748
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 34: I speak today not only in service of my own

749
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 34: recovery from trauma inflicted by Maxwell and Epstein, but to

750
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 34: honor the lives, the courage and previces of Virginia Dufray,

751
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 34: Caroline Andreano, and others who could not continue their voices mattered,

752
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 34: their stories must not be forgotten. Accountability is what makes

753
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 34: a society civilized. Equal opportunity and equal consequence for all.

754
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 34: Consequences are not about punishment alone. They exist to deter

755
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 34: future harm, to protect vulnerable, and to set a standard

756
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 34: of justice. If Gilen Maxwell were pardoned, it would undermine

757
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:42,240
Speaker 34: all the sacrifices I made to testify and make mockery

758
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 34: of mine and all survivors suffering. That is why the

759
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 34: Epstein Files Transparency Act is so essential.

760
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 6: It requires the Department of Justice.

761
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 34: Release all the records related to Epstein and Maxwell investigations,

762
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:02,800
Speaker 34: flight logs, immunity deals, internal communications, and even the records

763
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 34: surrounding Epstein's detention and death. And crucially, it forbids withholding

764
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 34: documents simply because of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity.

765
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 4: This is about ending.

766
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 34: Secrecy wherever abuse of power takes root. But transparency alone

767
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 34: is not enough. Survivors need protection, resources, and legal support.

768
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 34: If this Congress is serious about justice, then let this

769
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 34: moment also affirm your commitment to provide victims with the

770
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 34: legal aid they need to confront abusers, to navigate complex systems,

771
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:42,720
Speaker 34: and to reclaim their power. Transparency must be matched by support,

772
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 34: or else, too many victims will remain silent out of

773
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 34: fear and lack of access. The statistics demand action. Nearly

774
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 34: one in five women in America will experience rape or

775
00:49:54,920 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 34: attempted rape in her lifetime every seventy four seconds. If

776
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 34: someone is sexually assaulted every nine minutes. That person is

777
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 34: a child. These are not numbers, they are people. They

778
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 34: are your daughters, your sons, your constituents, your friends. Statistically,

779
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 34: one in five of your families will face this nightmare.

780
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 34: The days of sweeping this under the rug are over.

781
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 34: We the survivors, say no more. I want to help

782
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,760
Speaker 34: create a world where survivors of sexual abuse and abuse

783
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 34: of power can come forward safely, and I ask Congress

784
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 34: to join me in that effort, not only by passing

785
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 34: this bill, but by ensuring that those who step forward

786
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 34: have legal support to face their abusers and see justice done.

787
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 34: When Judge Berman gave Epstein survivors the chance to finally speak,

788
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 34: the world listened after so many years survivors were heard.

789
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 34: That moment was historic, and so is this moment.

790
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 15: For me.

791
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 4: The turning point.

792
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 34: Was when I had my daughter, and on the day

793
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 34: she was born, I knew I had a responsibility to

794
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 34: protect her and to protect all children.

795
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 4: I have to use my voice, the voice.

796
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 34: That had been silenced I fear and shame for so

797
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 34: many years. Make no mistake, my polished exterior is a

798
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 34: shield hiding a wound that still bleeds.

799
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 6: But through this wound, I have found purpose.

800
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 34: To be part of lasting change in how we confront

801
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 34: exploitation and abuse. And to be clear, the only motive

802
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 34: for opposing this bill would be to conceal wrongdoing. You

803
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 34: have a choice, stand with the truth or with the

804
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 34: lies that have protected predators for decades. I am no

805
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 34: longer weak, i am no longer powerless, and I'm no

806
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 34: longer alone. And with your vote, neither will the next

807
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:16,359
Speaker 34: generation be.

808
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 4: President Trump. You have so much influence and power in

809
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:22,320
Speaker 4: this situation.

810
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 34: Please use that influence and power to help us because

811
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 34: we need it now and this country needs it now.

812
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 4: Thank you, he well.

813
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 35: My name is Annie Farmer and I was sixteen years

814
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 35: old when I was blown to New Mexico to spend

815
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 35: a weekend with Epstein and Maxwell. That same year, nineteen

816
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 35: ninety six, my sister Maria Farmer reported what happened to

817
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 35: me there, along with reporting her own assault at their

818
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 35: hands in their theft instead of photos of herself of

819
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 35: me and our younger sister that she had taken for

820
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:06,439
Speaker 35: her work as a FIGUREDI painter.

821
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 4: I am now forty six years old.

822
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 35: Thirty years later, we still do not know why that

823
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 35: report wasn't properly investigated, or why Epstein and his associates

824
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 35: were allowed to harm hundreds, if not thousands, of other

825
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 35: girls and young women. We have never been told whether

826
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,320
Speaker 35: those images were found when they discovered a large amount

827
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 35: of child sexual abuse material on his property. As a psychologist,

828
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 35: I understand that when the systems meant to protect us

829
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 35: recreate the abuse cycle, the betrayal that occurs can be

830
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:43,399
Speaker 35: just as damaging as the original trauma. This happens when

831
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 35: survivors of these crimes are not believed, when our well

832
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 35: being is not weighed as heavily as those who have

833
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 35: more resources or more privilege, and when perpetrators of these

834
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 35: crimes are given a platform rather than the survivors of them.

835
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 35: For so many years, it felt like Epstein's criminal behavior

836
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 35: was an open secret. Not only did many others participate

837
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 35: in the abuse, it is clear that many were aware

838
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 35: of his interest in girls and very young women and

839
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 35: chose to look the other way because it benefited them

840
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 35: to do so. They wanted access to his circle and

841
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 35: his money. Their choice to align with his power left

842
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 35: those of us who had been harmed by this man

843
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 35: and his associates feeling very isolated. I could never have

844
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 35: imagined being here today and this courus of.

845
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 4: Support that we have all received.

846
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 35: I have been sent so many notes and messages for

847
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 35: people with no direct connection to this case who've expressed

848
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 35: their solidarity with us, and I believe that is because,

849
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 35: in part, as the Nushkaso explained so well, this is

850
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:57,320
Speaker 35: an extremely widespread issue of child sexual abuse, of sexual exploitation,

851
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 35: of sexual violence. This effects almost every family in some way.

852
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 35: From my conversations with women in these last few days

853
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 35: and from all of the support that we've received, is

854
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 35: very clear to me that we are not going away,

855
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 35: We are not going to be quiet, and we are

856
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 35: not going to give up. And I ask the American

857
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 35: public to stand with us and not give up. At

858
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 35: a time with record high levels of distrust in our

859
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 35: institutions and a perception that there are two Americas, one

860
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,800
Speaker 35: for those with power and privilege and one for everyone else.

861
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 35: Passing this Epstein Transparency Bill is one important step that

862
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,800
Speaker 35: can be taken to prove to Americans that the government

863
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 35: does not side with sexual perpetrators. A thorough public review

864
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 35: of this information is an important step in presenting in

865
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 35: preventing the type of systemic failures that have occurred in

866
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 35: this case and harmed all of us, an important step

867
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 35: to as healing for those involved.

868
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 6: Thank you, Hello everyone. I'd like to say thank you

869
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:05,959
Speaker 6: everyone for.

870
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:10,359
Speaker 36: Being here today on this very powerful and special day

871
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 36: for all of us.

872
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 6: Here. My name is Marina Leaserta.

873
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 36: I was minor victim one in federal indictment of Jeffrey

874
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 36: Epstein in New York in twenty nineteen. I was one

875
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 36: of a dozen of girls that I personally know who

876
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:29,359
Speaker 36: are forced into Jeffrey's mansion on nine East seventy one

877
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 36: Street in New.

878
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 6: York City when we were just kids.

879
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 36: Today is the first time that I ever speak publicly

880
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 36: about what happened to me.

881
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,240
Speaker 6: I never thought that I would find myself here.

882
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 36: The only reason that I am here is because it

883
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 36: feels like the people who matter in this country finally

884
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 36: care about what we have to say. As an immigrant

885
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 36: from Brazil, I feel empowered knowing that the little girl

886
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,879
Speaker 36: struggling to get by at fourteen and fifteen years old

887
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 36: finally has a voice.

888
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 6: For the first time, I feel like I matter as

889
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 6: an American.

890
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 36: I was only fourteen years old when I met Jeffrey.

891
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 6: It was the summer of high school.

892
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 36: I was working three jobs to try to support my

893
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 36: mom and my sister when a friend of mine in

894
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 36: the neighborhood told me that I could make three hundred

895
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 36: dollars to give an older guy a massage. It went

896
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 36: from a dream job to the worst nightmare. Jeffrey assistant

897
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 36: Leslie Groff, would call me and tell me that I

898
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 36: needed to be at the house so often that I

899
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 36: ended up dropping out of high school before ninth grade, and.

900
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 6: I never went back.

901
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 36: From fourteen to seventeen years old, I went and worked

902
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 36: for Jeffrey instead of receiving an education. Every day I

903
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 36: hoped that he would offer me a real job as

904
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 36: one of his assistant or something something important. I would

905
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 36: finally have made it big, as like we say the

906
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 36: American dream that they never came. I had no way,

907
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 36: I had no way out. I was until he finally

908
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 36: told me that I was too old. There are many

909
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 36: pieces of my story that I can't remember, no matter

910
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 36: how hard I try. The constant state of wonder causes

911
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 36: me so much fear and so much confusion. My therapist

912
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 36: is that my brain is just trying to protect the self.

913
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 36: But it's so hard to begin to heal knowing that

914
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 36: there are people out there.

915
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 6: Who know more about my abuse than I do.

916
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 36: The worst part is that the government is still in

917
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 36: possession right now of the documents and information about that

918
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 36: could help me remember and get over all of this,

919
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 36: maybe and help me heal. They have documents with my

920
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 36: name on them that were confiscated from Jeffrey Epstein's house,

921
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 36: and could he helped me put the pieces of my

922
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 36: own life back together. But I don't have any of it,

923
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 36: and I know the same is true for many.

924
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 6: Of these women.

925
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 36: We are here to support this bill today not only

926
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 36: for transparency but for the American people. But if the

927
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 36: government is going to release these documents to the public

928
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 36: describing the crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein and others. The

929
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 36: least they they can do is give me my documents

930
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 36: that they have about me. The other survivors deserve the

931
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 36: same respect from our government. While identifying information must be

932
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 36: redacted to the public, it is equally important to provide

933
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 36: the victims themselves with unredacted information. I will never forget

934
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 36: when the FBI agents showed up in my door in

935
00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 36: two thousand and eight, Jeffrey Epstein hired a lawyer to

936
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 36: represent me, or more like, to represent him. I'd like

937
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 36: to say I couldn't ask any questions and I had

938
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 36: no idea what was going on. I was terrified until today,

939
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 36: I think most of us are still terrified. I thought

940
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 36: somebody was going to kill me. I thought something was

941
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 36: going to happen to my sister or my mother. It

942
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,439
Speaker 36: went further out to even maybe thinking something would happen

943
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 36: in Brazil with my family. And then one day the

944
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 36: lawyer said that everything was just going to go away,

945
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 36: like nothing happened. I didn't need to testify. When I

946
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 36: asked him why, he gave no explanation.

947
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 15: That was it?

948
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 36: So why why was I never called to testify? Then

949
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 36: we could have saved so many women. We could have

950
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 36: saved so many lives from being abused. Why did he

951
01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 36: get away with it in two thousand and eight? Why

952
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 36: was he able to go on in the abuse with

953
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 36: hundreds of girls after the Florida investigation? Why didn't they

954
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 36: let me testify to help stop him. Our government couldn't

955
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 36: have saved could have saved so many women, but Jeffrey

956
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 36: Epstein was too important and those women didn't matter. Why, well,

957
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 36: we matter now. We are here today and we are speaking,

958
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 36: and we are not going to stop speaking.

959
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 6: Today. I stand here with the women.

960
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 36: Who have really helped me to find the strength to

961
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 36: come out and come forward to share my story for

962
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 36: the very first time.

963
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 6: Together, we are stronger than ever. While she may not be.

964
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 36: With us, Virginia Roberts, we will continue to use our

965
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 36: voices to strengthen yours.

966
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 6: Always.

967
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 18: Thank you.

968
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 6: Hi, my name's Courtney Wilde.

969
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 37: I just wanted to take a second and just have

970
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 37: a moment of silence for all the women survivors that

971
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 37: aren't here with us today, that passed away due to anxiety,

972
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 37: depression trying to keep up with this case.

973
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 6: A moment of silence. Please, thank you. My name is

974
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 6: Courtney Wilde.

975
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 38: I was only fourteen years old when I was introduced

976
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 38: to Jeffrey Epstein by a thirteen year old friend of mine.

977
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 38: The details of the abuse that he inflicted on me

978
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 38: for years is not important today. In twenty twenty eight,

979
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 38: I was cooperating with the federal government government and the

980
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 38: investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. They sent me a letter telling

981
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:57,880
Speaker 38: me to be patient because this was going to be

982
01:02:57,920 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 38: a linky investigation.

983
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 6: But at this same time they.

984
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 38: Refused to talk to me and tell me what was

985
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 38: going on. So I hired an attorney, Brad Edwards, because

986
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:10,479
Speaker 38: I was hopeful to get some answers. When I walked

987
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 38: into his office at nineteen years old, Brad suited the

988
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 38: government for refusing to tell me what was going on

989
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 38: under the Crime Victim's Rights Act. The only reason anyone

990
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:22,440
Speaker 38: ever found out that the government had already given Jeffrey

991
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 38: Epstein immunity through the non prosecution agreement was because our

992
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 38: lawsuit forced the government to tell us. Otherwise nobody would

993
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 38: even know that. Today, sometimes it's hard to believe that

994
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 38: I had to sue the United States just to learn

995
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 38: that my abuser was given immunity. I started as Jane Doe,

996
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 38: but I decided to I was proud enough to take

997
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,919
Speaker 38: on our country, and I was on the right side

998
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 38: of history. We fought the government for ten years to

999
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 38: prove that the government violated our rights as crime victims.

1000
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 38: In the crime victim's rights in order to protect a pedophile,

1001
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 38: we had to win the Eleventh Circuit Court appeals to

1002
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 38: force the government to turn over thousands of pages of

1003
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 38: emails between Jeffrey Epstein and the government. Those emails provided

1004
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 38: the proof of proof that the government worked very hard.

1005
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 6: With Jeffrey Epstein to violate our rights.

1006
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 38: Why why did the government work so hard to protect

1007
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 38: Jeffrey and not so hard to protect me and my

1008
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 38: other innocent friends. Why was Jeffrey so important to the

1009
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 38: government and why was I so insignificant? Why did nobody

1010
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 38: but our lawyers care before now it seems people have

1011
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 38: only started to care because of Twitter and politics.

1012
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 6: But I would like to say this has nothing to

1013
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 6: do with politics.

1014
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 38: This is not a blue thing or a red thing,

1015
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 38: This isn't every one thing. We can all agree on

1016
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 38: this with the injustice that has happened here multiple over

1017
01:04:56,720 --> 01:05:00,160
Speaker 38: and over, everybody that talks about this just see.

1018
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 6: To make it worse. We need transparency.

1019
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:08,479
Speaker 38: It's time for us to see beyond the curtain, Why

1020
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 38: was Jeffrey Epstein so protected? Who is still being protected,

1021
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 38: and who protected them all? So the world can understand

1022
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 38: how Jeffrey was able to abuse so many of us

1023
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 38: for so long. I was lucky to have Brad Edwards,

1024
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 38: Brittany Henderson, and Paul Cassel take on my case pro

1025
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 38: bono and fight fearlessly over twenty years time.

1026
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:32,479
Speaker 6: I would like to.

1027
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 38: Thank them, and I'd also like to ask the Trump

1028
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 38: administration to please sign off on the Crime Victim's Rights

1029
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 38: Reformed Act, the Courtney Wilde Crime Victims Rights Reformed Act.

1030
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 6: That's we're trying to get past here.

1031
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 38: So we can close the loopholes in the CVR, a

1032
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 38: case that Epstein's attorney used to their benefit to get

1033
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 38: to get away with this.

1034
01:05:54,880 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 16: Thank you so much, good morning.

1035
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:21,280
Speaker 39: First and foremost, we want to extend our deepest gratitude

1036
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 39: to Brad and Brittany Edwards, Congressman Massey, and Conna, and

1037
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:31,040
Speaker 39: above all the brave survivors who have entrusted us with

1038
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 39: the privilege of speaking today on behalf of.

1039
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 16: Virginia, Robert Juffrey as her family.

1040
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 39: We are here today because we support h res dot

1041
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 39: five eighty one the Epstein Files Transparency Act in its entirety.

1042
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 39: But as much as this bill is about shining a

1043
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 39: light on truth, it's not just about the bill.

1044
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 15: This is about justice. This is about survivors.

1045
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 39: This is about justice against the rich and powerful who

1046
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 39: have stolen something from these women and many children at

1047
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 39: the time. Their freedom, the freedom to live their life

1048
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:14,080
Speaker 39: without mental and physical scars that have been inflicted upon

1049
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 39: them by those who thought they were untouchable. The same

1050
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 39: freedom that these monsters took from these survivors. They should

1051
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 39: never be afforded. They should never be allowed to continue

1052
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 39: their lives with impunity. Let's be clear, this is not

1053
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 39: a political issue.

1054
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 16: This is not about left or right. This is about humanity.

1055
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 39: This is about doing what's right, and this is about

1056
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 39: ensuring that the future we leave behind isn't one where

1057
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 39: the powerful can hide behind their wealth, their influence, and

1058
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 39: their money to evade justice. I plead to you, whether

1059
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 39: you're a dad, a mom, a brother, or a sister,

1060
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 39: look your young ones in the face, look them in

1061
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 39: the eye, and tell them you didn't stand against the

1062
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 39: very people who raped, molested, and preyed upon children and

1063
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 39: young women. Tell them you are willing to negotiate a deal.

1064
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:16,639
Speaker 39: Money should never be what makes something right or wrong.

1065
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 39: If you vote, know your stance will be clear. You

1066
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:22,640
Speaker 39: will be choosing to stand on the side of the

1067
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 39: rich and powerful, allowing money to.

1068
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 16: Buy your way out of the consequence.

1069
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 15: But here's my one ask.

1070
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 39: Look these survivors in the eye and tell them why.

1071
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 39: Then look the people of the United States in the

1072
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:39,799
Speaker 39: eye and tell them why. And then, when you're alone,

1073
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 39: look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself why. Virginia

1074
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:48,800
Speaker 39: said it best, and I quote. I have physical and

1075
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 39: mental scars that will never heal. I have memories that

1076
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 39: will never go away. They say time can heal, but

1077
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 39: this won't, not until the justice system makes an example

1078
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:02,320
Speaker 39: out of these pe people with so called privileges I

1079
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 39: just call it money. The only time I can begin

1080
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 39: to heal is when their freedom is taken from them,

1081
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 39: just like they did to me and literally thousands of

1082
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 39: other victims. The survivors of this horrific abuse are watching,

1083
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:20,879
Speaker 39: The American people are watching, and history is watching.

1084
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 15: Which side will you be on? Thank you?

1085
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:35,639
Speaker 23: Hello.

1086
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 40: My name is gener Lisa Jones and I was only

1087
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 40: fourteen years old when my friend brought me over to

1088
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:46,760
Speaker 40: Jeffrey Epstein's house in Palm Beach in two thousand and three.

1089
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:48,840
Speaker 6: I had a terrible.

1090
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 40: Home life, but I was such an innocent kid then.

1091
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 40: I always did my best in school, and I had

1092
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 40: such a positive outlook on life until that day the

1093
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,800
Speaker 40: I met Jeffrey. I have never been more scared in

1094
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 40: my life than I was that first time that he

1095
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 40: hurt me. I remember crying the entire way home thinking

1096
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 40: about how I couldn't ever tell anyone about what actually

1097
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 40: happened in that house. This guy was so rich and

1098
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:20,960
Speaker 40: had so many pictures with so many famous people, and

1099
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 40: no one would have ever believed me if I told them.

1100
01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:29,040
Speaker 40: I want to thank Congressman Roe and Congressman Thomas Massey

1101
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:30,480
Speaker 40: for having.

1102
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 6: Me here today.

1103
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 40: It was really hard for me to find my voice

1104
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 40: and to become strong enough to speak about my abuse.

1105
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 40: I didn't come forward until twenty nineteen, and even when,

1106
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 40: and even then, it was like I was afraid of

1107
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 40: a ghost. I know that I was just a little kid,

1108
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 40: but sometimes I still feel like it is my fault

1109
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 40: that this happened. Being giving the opportunity to speak at

1110
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 40: the United States Capital Building about something that is so important,

1111
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 40: not just to me and the women before you, but

1112
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:12,880
Speaker 40: to the entire country. Together, we can finally make a change,

1113
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 40: and that is thanks to the people like these two congressmen,

1114
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 40: and they are teams who actually care about the victims.

1115
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 40: If you are a member of Congress and you are

1116
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:25,439
Speaker 40: listening to all of us speak here today, please really

1117
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:29,000
Speaker 40: listen to us. Please vote for this bill to be passed.

1118
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:34,000
Speaker 40: Please recognize how important it is for transparency relating to

1119
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 40: Jeffrey Epstein. Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican,

1120
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 40: this does not matter. This is not about sides. You

1121
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:44,320
Speaker 40: are an American and you are a person who has

1122
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:47,280
Speaker 40: chosen to serve in an elected position to stand up

1123
01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 40: for those you represent who cannot always stand up for themselves.

1124
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 40: We are those people. We are the Americans that you

1125
01:11:55,200 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 40: promised to protect, and we need your help. Please President Trump,

1126
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:06,640
Speaker 40: pass this bill and help us make us feel like

1127
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 40: our voices are finally being heard.

1128
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:26,559
Speaker 10: Thank you, thank you.

1129
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 23: Thank you.

1130
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:32,400
Speaker 14: Good afternoon. My name is Hailey Robson. I was a

1131
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:35,240
Speaker 14: sixteen year old high school student athlete who made good

1132
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:38,040
Speaker 14: grades and had high aspirations for college. When I was

1133
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:40,559
Speaker 14: recruited and asked by a classmate of mine alongside with

1134
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 14: a twenty year old male if I wanted to give

1135
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 14: an old, rich guy a massage, but what high school

1136
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 14: girl would not want to do that? That day changed

1137
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:50,880
Speaker 14: my life forever. And when I got into the massage

1138
01:12:50,920 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 14: room Jeffrey Epstein undressed and asked me to do things

1139
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:02,880
Speaker 14: to him, my eyes welled up with tears and I

1140
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:05,599
Speaker 14: have never been more scared in my life. When it

1141
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 14: was over, he paid me two hundred dollars and requested

1142
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 14: in exchange that I bring a girl each time to

1143
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 14: make another two hundred dollars. I told him I did

1144
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 14: not want to do that, and then he gave me

1145
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 14: an ultimatum. Either you come here and massage me when

1146
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 14: I call you, or you bring me friends of yours

1147
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 14: to massage, and I will give you two hundred per

1148
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 14: girl for each time she comes. I felt and hoped

1149
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:29,360
Speaker 14: to never hear from him again, but he called me

1150
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 14: every day. He was so wealthy and powerful, and he

1151
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:34,600
Speaker 14: would not let me go. I felt I had no

1152
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:38,559
Speaker 14: choice if I disobeyed him. I knew something bad would happen, so,

1153
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 14: knowing I did not want to be sexually abused, I'm sorry,

1154
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 14: I started to bring him other girls from my high school,

1155
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:49,160
Speaker 14: and he paid me two hundred dollars two hundred dollars

1156
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 14: for bringing them. I just hoped each time it would

1157
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:54,840
Speaker 14: be the last time. One day, the stepmom of one

1158
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:56,760
Speaker 14: of the girls brought him and called the police on

1159
01:13:56,800 --> 01:14:01,080
Speaker 14: Jeffrey Epstein. The police then called me, called me in

1160
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:03,960
Speaker 14: for questioning. I had told them the truth. Despite the

1161
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 14: fact that I was a teenager and a miner, and

1162
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:08,600
Speaker 14: I was able to tell the police the names of

1163
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 14: all the other victims, the police treated me like a criminal.

1164
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:15,640
Speaker 14: I had, by this time, had turned eighteen. I had

1165
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 14: been with Jeffrey since I was sixteen and for two years.

1166
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:22,800
Speaker 14: So they had told me I distributed. I distributed to

1167
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:25,719
Speaker 14: the so they told me I was going to be arrested.

1168
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 14: My name was then distributed to the press as a

1169
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 14: co conspirator of my abuser, who I detested. My entire

1170
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 14: world was crashing in around me, and I started being

1171
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 14: threatened and bullied till this day, still receiving death threats.

1172
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 14: I was singled out and for many years had to

1173
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:45,800
Speaker 14: suffer a smear campaign of lies about me because of

1174
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 14: the way that I was portrayed by the press. The

1175
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:53,960
Speaker 14: press made me out to be a predator when I

1176
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 14: was just a sixteen year old little girl who was

1177
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 14: sexually abused by a powerful man and an evil man

1178
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:02,280
Speaker 14: for years. I had no friends, my boyfriend was murdered,

1179
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:06,559
Speaker 14: and there was nowhere to turn the government. After investigating more,

1180
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:09,879
Speaker 14: learned that I was true a victim, but the damage

1181
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 14: was done and it was too late. There was no

1182
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:14,360
Speaker 14: way to undo the harm the press had caused me.

1183
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:18,320
Speaker 14: In twenty nineteen, I met Brad and Brittany. I met

1184
01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 14: Brett Edwards and Brittany Henderson. They changed my life, and

1185
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 14: they believed in me and have helped me to finally heal.

1186
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:30,519
Speaker 14: Healing is a process, and I may never get there,

1187
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 14: but the passage of this bill requiring the government to

1188
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:37,759
Speaker 14: produce all the evidence that it has gathered on Jeffrey

1189
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 14: Epstein Gallainne Maxwell, is a huge component of healing for

1190
01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 14: me and for the many other women who have suffered

1191
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:47,920
Speaker 14: for so long for many reasons. First, we and the

1192
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:50,599
Speaker 14: rest of the world need answers. Why was he so

1193
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 14: protected and why didn't anyone ever care to stop him.

1194
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:56,160
Speaker 15: It doesn't take a.

1195
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:58,879
Speaker 14: Brain surgeon to know that if he is spending thousands

1196
01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:01,520
Speaker 14: of dollars a day paying high school girls. He abuses

1197
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:04,400
Speaker 14: and other access tool and had a lot of access

1198
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:08,040
Speaker 14: to cash. I learned through my attorneys and the jpm

1199
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 14: JP Morgan class action case that there were years when

1200
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:15,719
Speaker 14: his staff withdrew over a million dollars in cash a year.

1201
01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 16: Was that not a big enough red flag?

1202
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:24,600
Speaker 14: There were rio transfers to other victims and thement and

1203
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 14: the government did not protect us.

1204
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 15: The banks did not protect us.

1205
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 14: So lift the curtain on these files and be transparent.

1206
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 14: Every single time a new conspiracy gets circulated in the media,

1207
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:42,599
Speaker 14: whether he is still alive, what powerful person had him murdered,

1208
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:45,120
Speaker 14: who was on the Epstein client list, and there are

1209
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 14: names going around on TikTok and Instagram. We the survivors

1210
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:53,559
Speaker 14: are suffering severely. We take our kids to school and

1211
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 14: everyone is talking about it. We can't read the news

1212
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 14: or do anything without hearing crazy stories that are only

1213
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:01,479
Speaker 14: able to live on because the government continues to hide

1214
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 14: the evidence and the truth, So people just make up stories.

1215
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:09,200
Speaker 14: Those stories hurt. They hurt real people, real people who

1216
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:11,920
Speaker 14: have already been hurt, and we have lost so many

1217
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:15,320
Speaker 14: Epstein victims to suicide and maintaining the real truth and

1218
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 14: secrecy only allows for conspiracy theorists to tell lies that

1219
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:21,519
Speaker 14: drives up our anxiety and fears and will continue to

1220
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 14: lead to more pain, more suffering, and honestly, more deaths.

1221
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:27,960
Speaker 15: Of innocent victims.

1222
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:31,720
Speaker 14: Its time you do is write by us unseal all

1223
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:36,480
Speaker 14: the documents. We are requesting transparency, and I am requesting

1224
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:40,679
Speaker 14: every congressman and women that goes against this bill be outed.

1225
01:17:41,640 --> 01:18:00,600
Speaker 14: I want to know thank you.

1226
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 26: Ring the depressing the Congress.

1227
01:17:57,760 --> 01:17:58,240
Speaker 4: Hi there.

1228
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 2: My name is Lisa Phillips and I'm the host of

1229
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:06,920
Speaker 2: award nominated podcast called From Now on a platform supporting survivors.

1230
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 2: I want to thank all of my survivor's sisters who

1231
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:15,080
Speaker 2: came before me. Today, I'll be very short. In the

1232
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:17,879
Speaker 2: year two thousand, I was taken to Jeffrey Epstein's Island

1233
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:22,040
Speaker 2: while on a photoshoot on a nearby island. Who I

1234
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:27,000
Speaker 2: saw and what I experienced there was a glimpse into

1235
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 2: a very dark and disturbing world. For years after, I

1236
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:34,600
Speaker 2: tried to avoid Jeffrey, but he had introduced me to

1237
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:39,760
Speaker 2: Katie Ford, the owner of the Ford Modeling agency. Epstein's

1238
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:43,240
Speaker 2: reach went to the very top of fashion arts and entertainment.

1239
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:47,200
Speaker 2: This did not just happen to underage girls in Florida.

1240
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:51,240
Speaker 2: In New York City, hundreds of young, ambitious women.

1241
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:51,920
Speaker 6: Were abused by him.

1242
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:56,200
Speaker 2: Epstein was not just a serial predator. He was an

1243
01:18:56,240 --> 01:19:01,840
Speaker 2: international human trafficker. And many around him new many participated,

1244
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:07,960
Speaker 2: and many profited, and yet he was protected. So I

1245
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 2: stand here today for every woman who has been silenced, exploited,

1246
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:16,800
Speaker 2: and dismissed. We are not asking for pity. We are

1247
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:23,479
Speaker 2: here demanding accountability and I'm demanding justice. Congress must choose

1248
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:27,040
Speaker 2: will you continue to protect predators or will you finally

1249
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:32,240
Speaker 2: protect survivors. And also, I would like to announce here

1250
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:37,479
Speaker 2: today us Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our own list.

1251
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:41,760
Speaker 6: We know the names, many of us were abused by them.

1252
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:47,240
Speaker 2: Now, together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names

1253
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:52,439
Speaker 2: we all know who regularly and who are regularly in

1254
01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:55,840
Speaker 2: the Epstein world. And it will be done by survivors

1255
01:19:56,040 --> 01:20:00,719
Speaker 2: and for survivors. No one else is involved. Stay tuned

1256
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:08,240
Speaker 2: for more details.

1257
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:19,080
Speaker 41: Gladly, Hello, my name is Chante Davies, and I'm here

1258
01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:22,280
Speaker 41: before you today as a survivor, a survivor of decades

1259
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:25,160
Speaker 41: of Paine, the trauma and betrayal at the hands of

1260
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:29,519
Speaker 41: Gillenne Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, and the people who enabled them,

1261
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 41: and a government that.

1262
01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:32,280
Speaker 6: For far too long refused to help.

1263
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 41: In two thousand and two, I was living in California,

1264
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:38,280
Speaker 41: a young woman with high aspirations of becoming an actress.

1265
01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:40,200
Speaker 41: I was already beginning to make a name for myself

1266
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:43,040
Speaker 41: in the industry. A person I trusted, someone I thought

1267
01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:45,400
Speaker 41: was a friend, invited me to meet a powerful woman

1268
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:48,720
Speaker 41: who could help advance my career. That woman happened to

1269
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:52,440
Speaker 41: be Gillane Maxwell. I was asked to give her a massage,

1270
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:55,200
Speaker 41: though I had almost no experience, and when I did,

1271
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:58,879
Speaker 41: she praised me and promised introductions to someone enormously powerful,

1272
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:01,000
Speaker 41: someone who could change the course of my life. And

1273
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 41: that man was Jeffrey Epstein. At first, I was an

1274
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 41: excited young woman on top of the world. Epstein flew

1275
01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:10,080
Speaker 41: me to his private island. He listened to my dreams.

1276
01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:12,719
Speaker 6: Promised to help. But his promises came with a catch.

1277
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:16,280
Speaker 41: The abuse began. He told me to keep it secret.

1278
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 41: He manipulated me with quid pro quo I did not

1279
01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 41: consent to, but I felt I had no one to

1280
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:23,959
Speaker 41: turn to. He was too powerful.

1281
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:26,840
Speaker 6: I was just one of the many young women trapped

1282
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:27,400
Speaker 6: in his orbit.

1283
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:29,439
Speaker 41: I was even taken on a trip to Africa with

1284
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:33,920
Speaker 41: former President Bill Clinton and other notable figures. In those moments,

1285
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:36,920
Speaker 41: I realized how powerless I was. If I spoke out,

1286
01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:41,719
Speaker 41: who would believe me? Who would protect me? Epstein himself

1287
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 41: was the most powerful leader of our country. Epstein surrounded himself,

1288
01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:48,000
Speaker 41: I'm sorry, with the most powerful leaders of our country.

1289
01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 6: And the world.

1290
01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 41: He abused not only me, but countless others, and everyone

1291
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:55,200
Speaker 41: seemed to look away. The truth is Epstein had a

1292
01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:58,760
Speaker 41: free pass. He bragged about his powerful friends, including our

1293
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 41: current president Donald Trump. It was his biggest brag actually,

1294
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 41: And while what I endured will haunt me forever, I

1295
01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:12,720
Speaker 41: live every day with PTSD. I live as a mother

1296
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:15,160
Speaker 41: trying to raise my child while distrusting a world that

1297
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:18,080
Speaker 41: has betrayed me. This kind of trauma never leaves you.

1298
01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:21,080
Speaker 41: It breaks families apart, It shapes the way we see

1299
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:25,000
Speaker 41: everyone around us. But one thing is certain. Unless we

1300
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 41: learn from this history, monsters like Epstein will rise again.

1301
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:32,559
Speaker 41: There are files, government files that hold the truth about Epstein,

1302
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 41: who he knew, who owed him, who protected him, and

1303
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:39,320
Speaker 41: why he was allowed to operate for so long without consequence.

1304
01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:42,519
Speaker 41: Why was Maxwell the only one held accountable when so

1305
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:45,720
Speaker 41: many others played a role. Why does the government hide

1306
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 41: this information from the public. This secrecy is not protection,

1307
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,799
Speaker 41: it's complicity. And as long as the truth is buried,

1308
01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:58,360
Speaker 41: just as remain out of reach. That is why this

1309
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:03,040
Speaker 41: bill matters. Passing it, bless you endure ensure that the

1310
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:06,000
Speaker 41: suffering of survivors is not in vain. Passing it will

1311
01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:10,400
Speaker 41: bring accountability, transparency, and prevention. It will help protect the

1312
01:23:10,439 --> 01:23:13,759
Speaker 41: next generation of predators who seek to place themselves above

1313
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:18,240
Speaker 41: the law through wealth, influence, and connections. This is not

1314
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 41: just my story. It is about every survivor who carries

1315
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 41: invisible scars.

1316
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 6: It's about the weight we live with daily.

1317
01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:28,080
Speaker 41: It is about the families broken and the future stolen.

1318
01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 41: So I ask you, President Trump and members of Congress,

1319
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 41: why do we continue to cover up sexual abuse and assault?

1320
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 41: Who are we covering for? Let the public know the truth.

1321
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 6: We cannot heal without justice.

1322
01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:47,839
Speaker 41: We cannot protect the future if we refuse to confront

1323
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 41: the past.

1324
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:53,879
Speaker 27: Thank you, We're doing this plus schoon.

1325
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:55,880
Speaker 8: Right now, there's going to be a massive flyover at

1326
01:23:55,880 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 8: the White House momentarily the Polish president in the press,

1327
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:04,280
Speaker 8: and I believe that Brian Glen some of the President's

1328
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:06,040
Speaker 8: kind of a press avail. Let's go back to the

1329
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:08,600
Speaker 8: press conference on the discharge.

1330
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 29: Petition, Congressman Massy, congress Me or Congressman Green in.

1331
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:15,280
Speaker 15: The hallways and other places.

1332
01:24:15,479 --> 01:24:17,800
Speaker 29: If you have questions for us, that's fine, but I

1333
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:20,680
Speaker 29: wanted to see first if you have questions for the

1334
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:24,479
Speaker 29: lawyers and the survivors, and Brad will facilitate any of

1335
01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:26,719
Speaker 29: the questions to the survivors.

1336
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:30,719
Speaker 15: Yes, yeah, this question would be for the survivors. Mister Roberts.

1337
01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:34,240
Speaker 16: The President has said that this Epstein.

1338
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:35,759
Speaker 17: Issue is a hoax.

1339
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 15: Is the words that he used.

1340
01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:39,919
Speaker 16: Can we get your reactions.

1341
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:41,320
Speaker 15: To what you think when you hear him.

1342
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:42,480
Speaker 10: Say that indication?

1343
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:50,680
Speaker 14: I'll answer that, mister President Donald J. Trump, I am

1344
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 14: a registered Republican. Not that that matters because this is

1345
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:56,599
Speaker 14: not political. However, I cordially invite you to the Capital

1346
01:24:56,680 --> 01:24:58,640
Speaker 14: to meet me in person so you can understand this

1347
01:24:58,680 --> 01:24:59,360
Speaker 14: is not a hoax.

1348
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 6: Real human beings, This is real trauma.

1349
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:07,799
Speaker 15: What does it feel like emotionally to hear that it's

1350
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:09,639
Speaker 15: being gutted from the inside out.

1351
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:11,760
Speaker 14: Not that I would know what that feels like, but

1352
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:16,639
Speaker 14: I imagine it's the anxiety build up with the depression and

1353
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:19,719
Speaker 14: the survival mode, and then your nervous system goes limp

1354
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:23,519
Speaker 14: and ironically is shot, and it feels like you just

1355
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:27,080
Speaker 14: want to explode inside because nobody again is understanding that

1356
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:30,519
Speaker 14: this is a real situation. These women are real, We're

1357
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:33,400
Speaker 14: here in person. To say that it's a hoax is

1358
01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 14: just not please humanize us. I would like Donald J.

1359
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 14: Trump and every person in America and around the world

1360
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:43,800
Speaker 14: to humanize us, to see us for who we are,

1361
01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:44,920
Speaker 14: and to hear us for what.

1362
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:45,639
Speaker 16: We have to say.

1363
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:48,000
Speaker 15: There is no hoax. The abuse was real.

1364
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:51,479
Speaker 14: Now, what goes on behind closed doors, I can't speak

1365
01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:54,840
Speaker 14: for that, what happens around the world politically, I cannot

1366
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:57,320
Speaker 14: speak for that. But I am here with all of

1367
01:25:57,360 --> 01:26:00,320
Speaker 14: these women, including our attorneys, and I would be more

1368
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:02,639
Speaker 14: than happy to meet with him, and I will meet

1369
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:03,320
Speaker 14: him halfway.

1370
01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:08,800
Speaker 42: I wonder if any of the victims could respond to

1371
01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:12,680
Speaker 42: the news from recently about going Maxwell being transferred to

1372
01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:15,040
Speaker 42: a lower securities prison in the.

1373
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:19,040
Speaker 15: After that we need to about transfer.

1374
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:22,160
Speaker 4: I'm happy to speak to that.

1375
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 35: We were horrified to learn that she had been transferred

1376
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:32,439
Speaker 35: to a prison camp. She is someone who was found

1377
01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:36,479
Speaker 35: guilty by a jury of sex trafficking. She not only

1378
01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:39,920
Speaker 35: we often hear that she procured women for Jeffrey, which

1379
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:42,760
Speaker 35: I think is a very sort of polite and minimizing term.

1380
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:47,040
Speaker 35: She also participated in the abuse. She was a major

1381
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:49,559
Speaker 35: architect of the scheme. And the fact that she's painted

1382
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 35: herself as a victim, I think is disgusting and it

1383
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 35: was horrifying I think to us that we were not

1384
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:57,880
Speaker 35: told about her prison transfer. We found out about it

1385
01:26:57,880 --> 01:27:01,559
Speaker 35: in the news one minute, I think.

1386
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:04,479
Speaker 4: So I just go to Georgio.

1387
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:09,959
Speaker 34: I testified alongside Annie at the trial of Gilen Maxwell.

1388
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:12,960
Speaker 8: I screamed this on an other stream, go live to

1389
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:59,920
Speaker 8: the White House. Wow, that's President there with the President

1390
01:27:59,960 --> 01:28:05,360
Speaker 8: of Poland. They are about to there's a massive flyover

1391
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:09,960
Speaker 8: of many different types of aircraft. I think the President

1392
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:11,200
Speaker 8: will be out there for a few minutes. When we

1393
01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:13,000
Speaker 8: cover the slide, the President is going to go inside.

1394
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 8: He will go up to the h he will go

1395
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:17,680
Speaker 8: up to the Oval office. Brian Glenn's there in the

1396
01:28:17,680 --> 01:28:18,960
Speaker 8: press fol We're going to let him in I think

1397
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:21,080
Speaker 8: he's going to have the bylot and open that up

1398
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:26,160

1404
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:46,679
Speaker 8: hostile act to the White House.

1405

Speaker 8: could get a full view of the of the flyover,

1414
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:27,840
Speaker 8: and up on Capitol Hill you could really hear the

1415
01:29:28,400 --> 01:29:31,400
Speaker 8: thunder of the of the flyover as they streaked down.

1416

Speaker 8: Brian Glenn, our own Brian Glenn is in the White House.

Speaker 8: They're going to go up to a just lost our

1418
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:42,080
Speaker 8: feed right there. Let's cut back to the press conference.

1419
01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 8: We'll go back to the White House in a moment.

1420
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:50,040
Speaker 2: They were reaching out to survivors that are scared. We're

1421
01:29:50,040 --> 01:29:52,320
Speaker 2: reaching out to survivors that are scared to come forward

1422
01:29:53,040 --> 01:29:55,479
Speaker 2: and that also know who they were traffic to. So

1423
01:29:55,760 --> 01:29:58,120
Speaker 2: that's the list that we're compiling, and we're not quite sure,

1424
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:00,960
Speaker 2: you know how we're pointing release that are even if

1425
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:04,040
Speaker 2: we're going to the Department of Justice needs to release

1426
01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:04,559
Speaker 2: the list.

1427
01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:07,800
Speaker 5: Right for folks at home, they might be confused. You know,

1428
01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:09,919
Speaker 5: survivors know the names, You've seen.

1429
01:30:09,720 --> 01:30:10,960
Speaker 6: These powerful people.

1430
01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:15,000
Speaker 4: Why can't you say the names? Could you just explain.

1431
01:30:14,640 --> 01:30:16,320
Speaker 6: For books, why do I say the names?

1432
01:30:16,320 --> 01:30:19,320
Speaker 2: When then when the government knows the names and we're

1433
01:30:19,360 --> 01:30:21,680
Speaker 2: also scared to do so, Look what's happened to so

1434
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:23,479
Speaker 2: many of the survivors that have revealed names.

1435
01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:25,080
Speaker 6: Yes, I find the question.

1436
01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:27,439
Speaker 32: About the new I think it's also we're saying that

1437
01:30:27,479 --> 01:30:30,639
Speaker 32: having represented I think, between our firm and Boys Schiller,

1438
01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:34,040
Speaker 32: hundreds of victims and we've talked to them about the

1439
01:30:34,120 --> 01:30:36,320
Speaker 32: various people that they were farmed out to. So we've

1440
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:40,439
Speaker 32: created somewhat of a list. Most of these individuals. The

1441
01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:44,160
Speaker 32: victims are very scared to say these names because they

1442
01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:46,879
Speaker 32: could get to they're going to get attacked and nobody

1443
01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:49,599
Speaker 32: protected them the first time, and that was against one person.

1444
01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:51,200
Speaker 15: So is there a list?

1445
01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:53,680
Speaker 32: There is a list, But just to dispel kind of

1446
01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:57,120
Speaker 32: the common theme here, every one of these women was

1447
01:30:57,160 --> 01:31:00,000
Speaker 32: abused by Jeffrey Epstein and his scheme was to personally

1448
01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:03,840
Speaker 32: abuse women when they reached a certain age. He did

1449
01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:07,160
Speaker 32: farm a section of them, some of them out to

1450
01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:09,880
Speaker 32: some of his friends. That doesn't mean all of his friends.

1451
01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:13,920
Speaker 32: With that said, I'm more than happy to assist in

1452
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:16,519
Speaker 32: helping create the list behind the scenes and see.

1453
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:16,920
Speaker 30: What we do with that.

1454
01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:20,400
Speaker 15: Interesting on.

1455
01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:23,120
Speaker 33: I think if someone's interested in prosecuting, they may have

1456
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:25,280
Speaker 33: something different to say about sharing a list, but they're

1457
01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:27,800
Speaker 33: not sharing a list for nothing to happen, and that's

1458
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:29,719
Speaker 33: the experience that they've had for all of these years.

1459
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:31,080
Speaker 15: Sure, thank you.

1460
01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:34,040
Speaker 43: We're waiting to see the fate of this discharge petition

1461
01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:37,479
Speaker 43: right now as we're here. The speaker and others have

1462
01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:41,520
Speaker 43: said that the people he met with yesterday had concerns

1463
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:44,599
Speaker 43: about your names being released if this bill were passed,

1464
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:46,479
Speaker 43: And some people I talk to you today are not

1465
01:31:46,520 --> 01:31:49,120
Speaker 43: signing the discharge petition because they say you don't want

1466
01:31:49,160 --> 01:31:49,439
Speaker 43: them to.

1467
01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:51,400
Speaker 5: Can you clarify if that is.

1468
01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:55,439
Speaker 22: Any of the survivors who not want the build up.

1469
01:31:55,760 --> 01:31:55,840
Speaker 31: Ye.

1470
01:31:56,520 --> 01:31:57,080
Speaker 6: First of all.

1471
01:31:57,240 --> 01:32:01,080
Speaker 44: First of all, our legislation wrote Conna and I went

1472
01:32:01,160 --> 01:32:03,599
Speaker 44: through this. We talked about this, and we were very

1473
01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:06,720
Speaker 44: careful to make sure that there is an exception so

1474
01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:10,200
Speaker 44: that personally identifiable information, not just their names, but anything

1475
01:32:10,200 --> 01:32:13,360
Speaker 44: they could be identified by, would not be disclosed.

1476
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:15,479
Speaker 43: And can you speak to that as the writers yourself?

1477
01:32:16,240 --> 01:32:17,800
Speaker 32: I think all of them are on the same page

1478
01:32:17,840 --> 01:32:24,840
Speaker 32: that they want everything released. Yes, unequivocally, redact identity personally

1479
01:32:24,880 --> 01:32:26,960
Speaker 32: identifying information and release everything else.

1480
01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:34,160
Speaker 6: It's your first time, go to Marina if we can sure.

1481
01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:35,680
Speaker 4: Marina, you have stayed.

1482
01:32:35,360 --> 01:32:36,679
Speaker 5: Silent for so many years.

1483
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:37,559
Speaker 4: Today this is.

1484
01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:38,120
Speaker 18: The first time.

1485
01:32:38,200 --> 01:32:40,840
Speaker 9: Can you understand dirrectly you have never before gone public

1486
01:32:40,880 --> 01:32:41,960
Speaker 9: with your story and.

1487
01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:42,519
Speaker 23: To share this.

1488
01:32:42,640 --> 01:32:45,519
Speaker 5: Can you help us understand why today, why now?

1489
01:32:45,600 --> 01:32:46,200
Speaker 6: And why here?

1490
01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:51,759
Speaker 36: Well, it is not okay for us to be silenced,

1491
01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:55,960
Speaker 36: and it's not okay for Jeffrey Epstein and everybody else

1492
01:32:56,240 --> 01:32:57,640
Speaker 36: to be put on a pedestal.

1493
01:32:58,439 --> 01:32:59,920
Speaker 6: I think everybody needs to hear.

1494
01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:03,040
Speaker 36: From us because we know what went on, right, and

1495
01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:05,599
Speaker 36: there is not only me who's been silenced. There are

1496
01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:09,880
Speaker 36: hundreds of women that are silenced. My hope is to

1497
01:33:09,920 --> 01:33:13,200
Speaker 36: stop this abuse for the future, right for people that

1498
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:17,000
Speaker 36: are coming up, for women, my daughter, for example, these

1499
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:20,360
Speaker 36: people have these women have daughters. They most definitely don't

1500
01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:21,240
Speaker 36: want that anymore.

1501
01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:24,760
Speaker 6: And I think mainly it is.

1502
01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:28,680
Speaker 36: This is a therapy for all of us too, you know,

1503
01:33:29,080 --> 01:33:32,559
Speaker 36: we want to be heard. Nobody also has never asked

1504
01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:36,320
Speaker 36: me to speak. That's also another thing, so I can

1505
01:33:36,360 --> 01:33:38,920
Speaker 36: say for all of us here, we are here, we

1506
01:33:38,960 --> 01:33:41,559
Speaker 36: want this bill to pass. It is very important, okay,

1507
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:43,720
Speaker 36: and we need transparency. We are tired of looking at

1508
01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:46,920
Speaker 36: the news and seeing Jeffrey Epstein's name and saying that

1509
01:33:46,960 --> 01:33:47,719
Speaker 36: this is a hoax.

1510
01:33:47,800 --> 01:33:51,200
Speaker 6: We are tired of it. We are done. We're not

1511
01:33:51,240 --> 01:33:52,000
Speaker 6: going to be silenced.

1512
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:55,120
Speaker 36: And I hope that my voice will bring other survivors

1513
01:33:55,280 --> 01:33:57,840
Speaker 36: and other victims to come along and speak up so

1514
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:00,599
Speaker 36: that we can be more of a stronger voice, louder.

1515
01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:02,400
Speaker 16: And So, what is your message to President Trump?

1516
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:02,760
Speaker 23: On listen?

1517
01:34:04,439 --> 01:34:05,800
Speaker 6: I listen. I don't like to.

1518
01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:08,920
Speaker 36: I don't want to send a direct message to him.

1519
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:15,200
Speaker 6: I'm already scared enough. Yeah, just pass the vote. Listen

1520
01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:15,639
Speaker 6: to us.

1521
01:34:15,800 --> 01:34:18,960
Speaker 36: This is not a hoax, like it's not going to

1522
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:21,360
Speaker 36: go away. And like I said on my speech earlier,

1523
01:34:21,680 --> 01:34:23,360
Speaker 36: we are not going to be We're not going to

1524
01:34:23,400 --> 01:34:26,919
Speaker 36: be silenced anymore. We will be speaking moving forward. Wherever

1525
01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:29,720
Speaker 36: we need to be, we will be and we need

1526
01:34:29,760 --> 01:34:32,240
Speaker 36: to pass this go ahead.

1527
01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:36,200
Speaker 42: Jordan Congress Jayway pund You know for years refer that

1528
01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:38,840
Speaker 42: there was an Epstein client list or some higher list,

1529
01:34:38,920 --> 01:34:40,839
Speaker 42: and now we hear from the DJ that there's.

1530
01:34:41,040 --> 01:34:42,719
Speaker 18: No list victims.

1531
01:34:42,960 --> 01:34:44,680
Speaker 15: What do you guys think. I know you're working on

1532
01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:47,000
Speaker 15: your own list, but do you believe that Jeffrey.

1533
01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:47,599
Speaker 30: Epstein and how it list?

1534
01:34:48,320 --> 01:34:51,040
Speaker 15: So there's there's not a list. So here's what it was.

1535
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:55,000
Speaker 32: Just like you heard everybody today, Jeffrey Epstein created through

1536
01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:58,720
Speaker 32: an organization that of enablers of people that were on

1537
01:34:58,800 --> 01:35:02,360
Speaker 32: his payroll. It was like complicated scheme where others should

1538
01:35:02,400 --> 01:35:05,360
Speaker 32: still be investigated because they helped to enable him and

1539
01:35:05,400 --> 01:35:06,400
Speaker 32: operate this scheme.

1540
01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:08,479
Speaker 15: Without those people, he could not have done this.

1541
01:35:08,720 --> 01:35:12,280
Speaker 32: But the purpose was for him to personally abuse people.

1542
01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:16,840
Speaker 32: With that being said, certain of his friends he farmed out,

1543
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:21,680
Speaker 32: certain of the women that he was exploiting too, But

1544
01:35:21,720 --> 01:35:23,880
Speaker 32: that wasn't the primary purpose of that scheme. And I

1545
01:35:23,880 --> 01:35:26,000
Speaker 32: don't think he wrote the names of those people down.

1546
01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:28,800
Speaker 32: There's not a list of Hey, here's all of the

1547
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:31,519
Speaker 32: people that I sent females to. That's just not how

1548
01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:32,400
Speaker 32: that organization work.

1549
01:35:34,200 --> 01:35:36,920
Speaker 35: I was involved the way the or tied to the

1550
01:35:36,960 --> 01:35:39,080
Speaker 35: CIA or a foreign intelligence operation.

1551
01:35:39,880 --> 01:35:41,880
Speaker 32: I think that the safest thing for me to say

1552
01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:44,200
Speaker 32: is all files should should come out, whether it's for

1553
01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:49,920
Speaker 32: this with the CIA, Fence, and SEC FBI. I'm not

1554
01:35:50,040 --> 01:35:53,120
Speaker 32: just making these up haphazardly. I'm giving you a roadmap

1555
01:35:53,120 --> 01:35:57,440
Speaker 32: word to look, go ahead, the Daily Caller.

1556
01:35:57,360 --> 01:35:58,960
Speaker 4: I was going to ask you that why House said

1557
01:35:58,960 --> 01:36:00,040
Speaker 4: that this said he should turn.

1558
01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:01,760
Speaker 6: Listen is a very hostile act.

1559
01:36:02,040 --> 01:36:02,840
Speaker 5: What's your response to?

1560
01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:04,599
Speaker 6: Dick wants to thank you all for being here.

1561
01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:06,479
Speaker 32: I'll go first and then I'll let them. They're much

1562
01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:08,479
Speaker 32: more important than me. But I don't understand why it's

1563
01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:10,559
Speaker 32: a hostile act. I can tell you that I talked

1564
01:36:10,640 --> 01:36:13,720
Speaker 32: to President Clinton, I'm sorry, President Trump back in two

1565
01:36:13,720 --> 01:36:16,120
Speaker 32: thousand and nine and several times after that.

1566
01:36:16,280 --> 01:36:18,360
Speaker 15: He didn't think that it was a hoax. Then, in fact,

1567
01:36:18,520 --> 01:36:19,080
Speaker 15: he helped me.

1568
01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:21,320
Speaker 32: He got on the phone, he told me things that

1569
01:36:21,360 --> 01:36:24,439
Speaker 32: were helping our investigation. Now, our investigation wasn't looking into him,

1570
01:36:24,640 --> 01:36:26,559
Speaker 32: but he was helping us. Then he didn't treat this

1571
01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:28,519
Speaker 32: as a hoax. So at this point in time, I

1572
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:30,400
Speaker 32: would hope that he would revert back to what he

1573
01:36:30,439 --> 01:36:33,920
Speaker 32: was saying to get elected, which is I want transparency.

1574
01:36:34,120 --> 01:36:37,320
Speaker 15: This about face that occurred. None of us understand it.

1575
01:36:37,400 --> 01:36:40,400
Speaker 32: In fact, I don't understand how this is an issue

1576
01:36:40,439 --> 01:36:41,160
Speaker 32: that's even.

1577
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:41,639
Speaker 15: Up for debate.

1578
01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:45,639
Speaker 32: How do you not stand behind these women after you've

1579
01:36:45,640 --> 01:36:48,679
Speaker 32: heard their stories and know that hundreds of them were

1580
01:36:48,680 --> 01:36:51,880
Speaker 32: abused and it was only because files are being kept

1581
01:36:51,880 --> 01:36:54,479
Speaker 32: in secrecy. The world should know who he is, who

1582
01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:56,559
Speaker 32: protected him, and the other people that are out there

1583
01:36:56,600 --> 01:36:58,400
Speaker 32: to be investigated need to be investigated.

1584
01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:03,400
Speaker 42: More mysterious, any car, are there any people who are

1585
01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:06,920
Speaker 42: currently serving in government who are named, who you know

1586
01:37:07,280 --> 01:37:10,400
Speaker 42: are in these files, who you had relations with, anything

1587
01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:12,840
Speaker 42: of that sort, whom Jeffrey Epstein connected us? And are

1588
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:13,880
Speaker 42: you willing to say yes or no?

1589
01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:29,120
Speaker 6: Roberts because they're saying they're being scared to talk.

1590
01:37:32,439 --> 01:37:36,519
Speaker 34: Hi, Anushka to Georgio. I have been threatened. I was

1591
01:37:36,560 --> 01:37:40,680
Speaker 34: threatened by phone. My daughter was threatened when I was

1592
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:45,439
Speaker 34: volunteering to participate by means of being a witness in

1593
01:37:45,479 --> 01:37:48,400
Speaker 34: a civil lawsuit that Virginia Giffrey was bringing against you.

1594
01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:52,959
Speaker 34: Then Maxwell, I have been followed, I have been stocked.

1595
01:37:53,520 --> 01:37:56,000
Speaker 34: I have been followed not only by journalists, but by

1596
01:37:56,160 --> 01:37:58,519
Speaker 34: people who do not get out of the car and

1597
01:37:58,600 --> 01:38:01,280
Speaker 34: do not try and talk to me, and just drive

1598
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:02,799
Speaker 34: behind me as.

1599
01:38:02,680 --> 01:38:05,200
Speaker 4: I drive my daughter to school. So the fear is

1600
01:38:05,320 --> 01:38:06,280
Speaker 4: very real for us.

1601
01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:10,120
Speaker 34: I have also been in multiple situations with both Jeffrey

1602
01:38:10,160 --> 01:38:14,000
Speaker 34: Epstein and Gelen Maxwell where they have been direct and

1603
01:38:14,120 --> 01:38:20,320
Speaker 34: indirect about implying and saying that if I was to talk,

1604
01:38:20,479 --> 01:38:23,599
Speaker 34: if I was to bring any kind of trouble, then

1605
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:26,599
Speaker 34: there would be severe consequence.

1606
01:38:26,400 --> 01:38:27,439
Speaker 4: Including death.

1607
01:38:29,840 --> 01:38:35,679
Speaker 35: Just at you know, Maxwell also threatened my sister, Maria Farmer,

1608
01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:38,439
Speaker 35: you know, when the FBI did nothing about her initial report.

1609
01:38:38,800 --> 01:38:41,719
Speaker 35: You know, we did, she reported individually at that time,

1610
01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:44,000
Speaker 35: and then in two thousand and two, we spoke to

1611
01:38:44,320 --> 01:38:47,160
Speaker 35: a reporter at Vanity Fair telling our stories, fearful that

1612
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:48,679
Speaker 35: perhaps other people were being harmed.

1613
01:38:48,920 --> 01:38:49,760
Speaker 6: You know, we were not.

1614
01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:52,280
Speaker 16: We believed that was going to make a difference.

1615
01:38:52,280 --> 01:38:54,439
Speaker 35: We believed that would be put in print, and that

1616
01:38:54,560 --> 01:38:57,559
Speaker 35: story was crushed, and it was because of their power

1617
01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:02,040
Speaker 35: and the meta that we got from that was direct

1618
01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:05,240
Speaker 35: threats from Maxwell to my sister about her well being

1619
01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:07,760
Speaker 35: and her safety and that of our family. So there

1620
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:10,200
Speaker 35: have I think many people have similar stories of threats

1621
01:39:10,240 --> 01:39:11,760
Speaker 35: that has been a very real part of this case.

1622
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:14,519
Speaker 35: Do any of.

1623
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:18,280
Speaker 45: Today's survivors speaking, did anybody here ever have any connection

1624
01:39:18,439 --> 01:39:24,920
Speaker 45: or interaction with Epstein's alleged financier listening legend?

1625
01:39:24,760 --> 01:39:30,720
Speaker 4: Good Josh, Nope. I just want to say it's one

1626
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:31,519
Speaker 4: thing that's very clear.

1627
01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:34,640
Speaker 35: When people say, you know, please share names, there are

1628
01:39:34,760 --> 01:39:37,000
Speaker 35: names that are very well known, like that of Les Westerner,

1629
01:39:37,080 --> 01:39:41,479
Speaker 35: who everyone knows supplied an enormous amount of Epstein's you know,

1630
01:39:41,560 --> 01:39:45,160
Speaker 35: financial wealth and allowed this operation to happen. So it's

1631
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:47,200
Speaker 35: I think confusing to many of us why there have

1632
01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:51,280
Speaker 35: not been more ramifications for him, and he's been seen

1633
01:39:51,280 --> 01:39:54,800
Speaker 35: as a victim when clearly I believe there's more to it.

1634
01:39:57,520 --> 01:40:00,639
Speaker 15: So you represented for Junior Roberts, You're brad years.

1635
01:40:01,160 --> 01:40:03,960
Speaker 35: She eventually had to recant the allegations that she made

1636
01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:05,880
Speaker 35: against Alan Dershowitz ge.

1637
01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:06,200
Speaker 12: Ledge that.

1638
01:40:08,960 --> 01:40:10,920
Speaker 23: My next question question.

1639
01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:13,679
Speaker 15: Why she should be working.

1640
01:40:13,880 --> 01:40:14,960
Speaker 6: We're not answer your question.

1641
01:40:18,400 --> 01:40:20,200
Speaker 15: How did the victims feel about the interview?

1642
01:40:20,240 --> 01:40:24,040
Speaker 30: That was given to Gawayne Maxist question.

1643
01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:27,840
Speaker 6: Was okay, ma'am, I think that you had a question when.

1644
01:40:27,720 --> 01:40:31,559
Speaker 46: You pass my question when you talk about pass on

1645
01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:35,760
Speaker 46: MSNBC about the existence of the Epstein birthday book, have

1646
01:40:35,840 --> 01:40:38,240
Speaker 46: you yourself in the closetedication seen it.

1647
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:41,120
Speaker 15: I don't.

1648
01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:43,160
Speaker 32: I don't know that we're able to reveal what we've

1649
01:40:43,160 --> 01:40:44,960
Speaker 32: seen and what we have not seen by way of

1650
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:48,360
Speaker 32: protective order. But my point being in that circumstance was

1651
01:40:49,040 --> 01:40:51,960
Speaker 32: if anybody wants answers, there's an easy place to get it.

1652
01:40:52,040 --> 01:40:53,880
Speaker 32: I told you where to get it. I said, the

1653
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:56,400
Speaker 32: estate of Jeffrey Epstein. Has it service a pine on them,

1654
01:40:56,640 --> 01:40:59,040
Speaker 32: they'll turn it over. And if we had served as

1655
01:40:59,040 --> 01:41:00,760
Speaker 32: a pine on them in the past, they would have

1656
01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:03,160
Speaker 32: turned it over and we would have seen it, which

1657
01:41:03,200 --> 01:41:03,960
Speaker 32: I don't usually miss.

1658
01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:05,320
Speaker 15: The penis like that. So there we go.

1659
01:41:08,040 --> 01:41:13,200
Speaker 29: One thing, you know, to your question about the allegations,

1660
01:41:13,200 --> 01:41:14,280
Speaker 29: there's a simple answer.

1661
01:41:14,760 --> 01:41:15,879
Speaker 15: Release the files.

1662
01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:20,559
Speaker 29: Let the American public decide instead of harassing. Instead of

1663
01:41:20,720 --> 01:41:23,439
Speaker 29: if I gave you your saying the Greek.

1664
01:41:23,320 --> 01:41:29,280
Speaker 30: Allegations against the probably among others you're hired by.

1665
01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:33,480
Speaker 15: You know, even he knows what talking about that contains

1666
01:41:33,960 --> 01:41:38,080
Speaker 15: hugely You've been heard. You've been heard? Should you tell

1667
01:41:38,120 --> 01:41:41,200
Speaker 15: the public about that you've been heard? And even Alan Desowitz,

1668
01:41:41,479 --> 01:41:44,639
Speaker 15: even Alan Dershwitz has released the files. Release the files.

1669
01:41:44,720 --> 01:41:47,200
Speaker 15: That is the answer, and that's what we're here for.

1670
01:41:47,680 --> 01:41:47,720
Speaker 6: That
