WEBVTT - Stupid, Stupid Babies 0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:06.240 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:11.600 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Jetty, 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:17.360 and he Armstrong and Jetty. 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:26.920 There's a lot not being said, and that's intentional. There's 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:33.160 a delicate balance between informing the public and soliciting their assistance. 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:35.960 Because there's millions of eyes in the United States. I 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:39.560 can share leads with the FBI, which is desperately needed, 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:43.120 but also not tipping your hands. So everything that's being 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:47.520 said is being engineered by the Crisis Negotiation Unit, which 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.680 is specialized unit out of Quantico, Virginia. 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:54.480 That's a little analysis on MSNBC this morning of the 0:00:54.520 --> 0:01:00.680 investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. Why is Fox 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.400 got a correspondent in a car with a camera driving 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:09.680 between Annie Guthrie daughter in Nancy Guthrie's house right now? 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:11.880 What are they speculating about there? 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.680 I have no idea. The voice you heard was Christopher o'lary. 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:21.319 He was addressing in part the bashing of the police 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:25.320 chief for his press conferences, and Jack is a referenced 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.120 several times recently. It's a real amateur hour there. He 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:31.000 said nothing of the press conference, of the criticism on 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:34.160 cable TV and in other places. He was trying to explain, No, 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.679 there's a lot you don't want to say, which is interesting. 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:41.160 This guy's about the best analysis analyst I've heard so 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.560 far on this stuff. He's not a showman. He's not 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:48.840 a you know, a blabbering jackass. Speaker of blabbering jackasses. 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.560 The rich and famous who continued their relationships with Jeffrey Epstein, 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.000 why what was the motivation? I think it was not 0:01:56.280 --> 0:02:00.480 nearly as mysterious as people think. Anyway, back to froh 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:01.800 Leary next clip. 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:05.720 Michael, Unfortunately, they have a ton of experience at that. 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.640 There are really kidnapped for ransom almost every week that 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.960 they deal with, usually in places like Mexico, Central America, 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:18.079 South America, across Africa. But they're used to these rapidly 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.800 evolving crisises and engaging with the captors. 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.240 Yeah, he's talking about the crisis negotiation unit that had 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:29.400 referenced still earlier. That's interesting. They deal with another kidnapping every. 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.079 Week, although that includes other countries. Because when he first 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:33.240 said that, I thought, holy crap. 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:37.640 But okay, yeah, Americans in those other countries, but we 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:43.240 didn't mention that they confirmed the red droplets in the 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:48.160 front steps were Mom's blood. They confirmed that yesterday. That's 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.480 not good. Yeah, that's definitely not good. Next clip, Michael. 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:54.640 The one concerning thing is we don't have a line 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:58.480 of communication established with the captors right now, and that 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:02.360 needs to change because you cannot negotiate this release, and 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:08.639 certainly with the serious concerns about Missus Guthrie's advanced years 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.799 and medical conditions that have been stated, those are things 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.040 you want to get ahead of, and time is of 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:15.000 the essence right now. 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:16.880 You know what I'd really like to know, and they 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.280 probably shouldn't tell us, but I'd like to know how 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:25.200 often kidnappers are successful with this. They get the money, 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.360 they return the person, and they get away with it. 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.119 I wonder how on the US, specifically the United States. 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.560 I got to think it's very very low. Yeah. I 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:42.400 would guess it's increasing because of cryptocurrency. That's got to help. Yeah. Yeah. 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:46.720 So he mentions at fair length that family members or 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:51.320 close associates are pretty easy to rule out, and then 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.120 we'll skip to forty four. Michael. He starts to discuss 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:57.560 who might be behind this. 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:03.280 Then you will get the more the doorbell camera was disabled, 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:07.240 which shows a or suggests a certain level of sophistication 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:12.480 here from the captors. So who you know in the 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.920 history of kidnapped for ransom has that capability? Is it 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.480 somebody that we think is local or what the concern 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.960 is amongst some colleagues that I've talked to, is with 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.920 the proximity to the border, is this potentially and not 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:29.320 suggesting it is, but something investigators will look at that 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:34.920 she was potentially taken by a Mexican kidnapped ransum organization 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.320 who do this fairly routinely. 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.000 And so the FBI being brought in here and number one. 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:45.200 Has the authorities to do this both domestically across state 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:49.000 lines but internationally, and they also have the reach and 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.560 the connections and the bandwidth to do it. So they 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:56.000 are most certainly discussing things with intelligence partners and our 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:57.400 Mexican counterparts as well. 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:57.560 Well. 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.920 If you don't know your US geography, two sons right 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.640 on the border, so it'd be nothing to get across 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.960 the border. But I just you know, he's the expert. 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:10.400 But on one hand, okay, they disconnected the camera sounds 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:15.599 like pros well, wouldn't pros have a better way to 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.160 get in touch with somebody and ask for money as 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:19.760 opposed to whatever's going on right now. 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:24.800 Yeah, yeah, there's a disconnect there. You know, some loser 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:28.279 idiot might also think I got to make sure she 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:29.800 doesn't have one of those doorbell. 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.920 That doesn't sound hugely sophisticated. I might think of that. 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.839 And I've never contemplated a kidnapping in my life. 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:41.400 Right, I've contemplated various pranks and acts of vengeance. Certainly, 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.520 I think about that all day long. But yeah, I'm 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.560 aware that there are doorbell cameras in the world. So 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:52.599 and then he mentions, there's really no doubt it's an abduction. 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.320 Eighty four year olds just don't start bleeding and then 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.920 disappear completely and then finally forty six Michael. 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.800 The other thing is, did somebody have a personal grievance 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.159 against her? There's nothing to suggest that she sounds like 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:09.039 a wonderful woman who is beloved, so who would have 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.599 a personal grievance against her? And I do think NBC 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.719 corporate Security, which is staffed by a bunch of former 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:19.800 FBI and Secret Service, are working with the team on 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:23.679 the ground to determine if Savannah had any previous threats 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.680 or stalkers or anything, and they couldn't get to her, 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:30.840 but are looking at missus Guthrie as a target of opportunity. 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:35.320 I was listened to an expert yesterday who said oldsters 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.560 don't get kidnapped very often, but every once in a 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.520 while it happens, and they had an example of I 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.000 think an eighty eight year old who got kidnapped last 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.400 year and was gone for like a whole week but 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:50.560 returned safely and they were okay, so it can't happen. 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.560 The blood is not a good sign. Also the fact 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:58.400 that she needs various medicines. If I was gonna guess, 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.080 and I realize this is a really harsh to say, 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.960 but if I was gonna guess, half wit grabs an 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:09.240 old woman. Doesn't think it true. She dies because she's 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:13.120 she needs this medicine. And now they're like okay, now what, 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.280 oh crap, And they figure out a way to dispose 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.400 the body. It'll turn up maybe five years from now 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.280 in a desert hole somewhere or something. 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.720 Wow, that's more specific than I'm willing to get. But yeah, 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:25.040 some half wit who gets immediately overwhelmed and realized they 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.440 bit off way more. Horrible horrible, horrible, horrible. 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.320 Most of the time, all these stories have just such 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.520 a disappointing what a waste ending there are There always 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.640 such a you know, they hurt your soul because, yeah, 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:41.560 there's all this excitement and talk about these sophisticated this 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.600 or that that gives it a level of something meaning, 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.360 I guess, and then when it turns out to just 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.600 be a freaking idiot with a bad plan and now 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:52.440 somebody's dead or really hurt, it's just so ah, why why. 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.840 Do you even do it? Yeah, two thoughts on that one. 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.000 I read just an absolute great piece. It'll stick with 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.360 me for all of my days. I'm pretty sure about how. 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:07.200 It's the disproportionality paradox. I think they called it that. 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:12.679 So many assassinations or major moments in history are half 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:19.200 wit loaners who do something extreme, and people can't comprehend 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:24.240 something that stupid and small, a person that's stupid and 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:28.679 small having an effect that gargantuan, and so they invent, 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:34.280 you know, great conspiracies that are proportional to the effect, 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:35.920 and that's really common. 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.480 The idiot that killed Charlie Kirk. You kind of feel 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:42.720 like a guy like Charlie Kirk deserves a better story, yes, 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.000 for his assassination than this idiot. 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.120 And I've told this story before, but it made a 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:48.880 hell of an impression on me as a young man. 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.600 Mike Royko was a brilliant columnist for the Chicago Tribune. 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.280 He was robbed at gunpoint on a street. Guy stuck 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.400 a gun in his face. And Royko, who had fought 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:02.160 in World War Two, started a family, raised children, built 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:06.120 a career, et cetera really influential guy, really well thought of. 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:10.960 I loved him. Said, this stupid idiot, loser has the 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:14.040 power to end my life and it's about to happen. 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:18.000 That's just wrong. And that was the overwhelming emotion he 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.160 was feeling. That is proportionality paradox. 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.720 That is wrong, and that's where the just painful grief 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.480 comes from. And how right way we've got. 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:29.199 To punish the crap out of people who do that 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:35.360 sort of thing. Lefties, Marxists, blue states and cities. All right, 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.160 now I'm angry. You got a completely different thing. 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.520 After this, somebod came up with a good name for 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.880 the elephant, oh tell you about? 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.920 After this excellent. Yes, let's think about our dogs, the 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.000 dogs we love. I'm thinking about Backsie right now, and 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.200 already my mood is improving.

This is a Swahili named for elephants. 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.600 This is one of your four possibilities. 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:54.960 It indicates the majesty in the whatever. 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:59.319 Yes, Katie, the four possibilities are weak too, are they? Yeah? 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.480 I sent him over. They're they're weak. 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:04.760 Yeah, I'm not surprised one of them means. 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:11.960 You've got blossom. What Lynn, my spirit blossom? Okay, Just 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.319 like Joe predicted, towne means gentle and beloved. 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.640 They all have to be some sort of meaningful. Two. 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:23.840 Aang traditionally means snow, referencing your winter birth. All right, whatever, 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:28.400 it's all Vietnamese words. Lame law Again. I thought this 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:32.720 was a mark. We're in America, all. 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:36.640 Right, trunk you Mick trunk face exactly. 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:42.120 Elephants are immigrating and taking our zoo jobs. Well, we 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.880 actually have interesting stuff out of the Epstein files and 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.640 it might bring down a prime minister in Great Britain, 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.600 isn't that something? I say more on that. 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:52.000 A little bit later, and a lot of stuff on 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:58.400 the waist to here. As Joe mentioned earlier in the show, 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:02.680 he got some more practically every day interesting AI stuff 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.800 to tell you about, including some major investments by big companies. 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.800 And how much of the economy is kind of linked 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:14.120 into those giant investments. So stay tuned for that. This 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.200 is so interesting. I mentioned this, I don't know, like 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.160 a week ago, but I dig Dug Moore into it 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:21.440 and I was just astounded by it. The National Park 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:29.960 Service runs the President's House in Philadelphia. It's where Washington 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.200 and Adams lived as presidents back when that was the capital. 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:40.920 But the entire historical experience was turned woke. And here's 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.960 what I'm talking about. And by the way, Josh Shapiro 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:49.120 was against the fixing of this. So the entire site 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.640 was about Washington being a slave owner. One sign declared 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.160 the site has been transformed into a space that honors 0:14:56.200 --> 0:15:01.160 the lives of those enslaved. And then this writer says, 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.280 when I interviewed Ken Burns asked who is the greatest 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.840 hero in the documentary of the American Revolution? He said, Oh, 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.040 without a question, it's George Washington. We don't have a 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:09.920 country without him. Definitely. 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.040 What is that word they always use, the guy we 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:15.840 couldn't live without indispensable man? 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.160 Right. The President's House site features ruins of the house. 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.080 It was mostly torn down in eighteen thirty two. It 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:25.240 did not emphasize Washington's heroic virtues or actions because he 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.480 had brought several slaves north with him as president. It 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:31.760 described his actions as deplorable, profoundly disturbing, and having mocked 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.720 the nation's pretense to be a beacon of liberty. He 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.800 and the other founders were accused of injustice and immorality. 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:42.600 Sign headings read Washington's deceit and Washington's death and a 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:47.880 renewed hope for freedom. Meanwhile, visitors were told that enslaved 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:50.600 labor played a dominant role in the nation's economy, and 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:55.440 even that slaves built the nation. An extensive slavery timeline 0:15:55.880 --> 0:16:01.960 neglected to mention the Civil War. The site not only 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:05.120 ignored Washington's role in shaping the young Republic, but failed 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:09.240 to present his actual views and actions regarding slavery. Such 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.320 an account would know he was a slaveholder, but also 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.920 that he declared the gradual elimination of slavery to be 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:18.520 among my first wishes. It would mention his role in 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.720 drafting the Fairfax Resolves in Mount Vernon seventeen seventy four, 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.800 which condemned the slave trade as a wicked, cruel and 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:29.000 unnatural one and called for putting an entire stop to it. 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:34.960 I don't know why people can't deal with this. I 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:36.280 really don't. Well, most people can. 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:40.000 It's just somehow the people that can't or don't want 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.080 to deal with it, like grown ups, end up in 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:43.120 charge of the plaques. 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:48.320 Well can't deal with what has grown ups. 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:52.360 Slavery existed, but you gotta give credit to the dude 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:54.640 who formed this whole country and all the things he did. 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:57.240 How can you not deal with those two things existing 0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:00.400 at the same time but emphasize the fact that the 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:01.960 father of our country played this role. 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.399 But again, you've got two groups of people. You've got 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:08.840 the soft heads you're thinking about. The activists know precisely 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:13.320 what they're doing. You've got to portray George Washington as 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:18.080 merely a devil. You've got to separate people from their 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:23.439 history and their truth. The Marxist snow precisely. But the 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.280 fact that we allow that to happen is so frustrating. 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:30.520 That's that's why Marxists always use quasi moral arguments, because 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:32.600 they know people will hear them and think, well, I 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:34.280 want to be a good person, so I guess I 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:38.200 agree with that, and they fall for the hardcore activists, 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:43.760 you know plots. It's a perfect example of this disgusting 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.840 speaking of disgusting, and Trump trying to get rid of 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:50.360 that is seen as you know, evil book, Bernard Nazi 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.399 something yeah, exactly. In fact, Josh Shapiro said, it's an 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:57.439 effort to rewrite and whitewash our history, and you just 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:01.440 lost my vote, jackass. Speaking of Jacks is in immorality. 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:06.040 People who's stuck with Jeffrey Epstein? Why I don't think 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.639 it's the Israeli's or anything mysterious. I think it's that 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.800 they liked the lifestyle. You think it's class more than 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:13.440 anything else. 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.880 Stay with us, Armstrong and Geeddy. 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:22.600 London's Metropolitan Police launching a criminal probe into allegations of 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:26.000 misconduct when Peter Mandelsson was Business Secretary back in the 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:29.399 late two thousands, but the Prime Minister's judgment is also 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:30.560 now under scrutiny. 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:32.280 I regret appointing him. 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:35.480 If I knew then what I know now, he would 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:37.000 never be anywhere near government. 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.160 Given the fallout, there is also the question of what 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.920 Epstein was doing and why the Polish government is now 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:47.879 investigating whether Russian intelligence services may have been involved. 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:53.040 Ooh boy, mm they're talking about Peter Mandelsson there. He's 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:56.680 a British high official in the Labor Party and as 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.080 I mentioned earlier, this guy has been booted out of 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:04.879 office now through times for a serious scandal, including you know, 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:06.800 finding it not like he was rude to somebody in 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:11.000 an elevator like insider information and betrayal of the British 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:13.879 people and all, but they keep dragging him back. But 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:15.399 so this I wish I knew more about it. 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:19.520 First of all, watchers of British politics believe this might 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:23.719 actually bring down the Prime minister the scandal. And this 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:27.880 dude isn't accused of sex stuff, right, it's bribe stuff. Yeah, 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:30.600 that's where it gets really interesting and brings us pretty 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:32.639 directly back to what we were talking about earlier. 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:37.919 And I wanted to continue why people stuck with Epstein 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:44.520 after he was convicted of the initial underage prostitution, soliciting, 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:48.560 trafficking king and then was accused of an investigated four 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:50.760 and was going to be tried for even more serious charges. 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:53.160 And I know a lot of people have all sorts 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:57.400 of wild spy you know, drenched you know, theories in all, 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:00.960 but in reading a bunch these and we've got a 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:05.520 different group of them now, it strikes me as here's 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:09.200 how I illustrated. So you got a friend you know, 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.879 you're just you're friendly with her, you like them, okay, 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:16.000 but that's it. Then you got a friend who you 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:21.040 like them, and they have their own plane and sometimes 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:22.919 I don't know what's your pleasure. For me, it'd be 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:25.920 sometimes they take their plane to really cool golf courses 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:28.240 a couple of states away and you all play golf 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:30.000 and blah blah blah, and then you fly back and 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.080 it's really really cool. Maybe you like to go to 0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:34.560 New York for the theater whatever. You have a friend 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:37.040 who says, yeah, hey, I'm taking the Gulf Stream to 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:38.879 New York to catch the latest show that I have 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:42.000 tickets for. You want to come? You might put up 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:45.280 with a little more of you know, he smacks his 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:48.040 lips when he eats his food or she eats her food. 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:52.960 But and imagine if somebody had so much wealth and connections, 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:57.320 they could connect you to well, a private resort island 0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:00.960 where all the pleasures of life are availed. You don't 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:04.760 pay a dime. Probably you meet all sorts of rich 0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:09.600 and famous and interesting people, and you might want to 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:14.160 stay friends with that person, for instance, British billionaire rich. 0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:17.400 And occasionally he throws in things like, hey, are your 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:20.400 son's going to college? You know, I know some people 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:22.280 where's he wanting to go? And then gets him into 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:24.600 Georgetown or whatever, and yeah, happy. 0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:26.960 To write a letter. I know the president of the university. 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:32.280 I'll just you know what, I'll call him. You're thinking wow, Yeah, 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:37.000 And as was described, who was it? Was it Mark Halpern, 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:40.040 somebody a good journalist. It might have been, Yeah, Helpern 0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:43.840 was talking to what's her face? The skinny blonde gallo 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:46.840 has gone crazy and gone Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, Megan 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:53.080 Kelly right about he you would literally be invited to 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:56.280 a dinner party with Bill Gates and Katie Kirk when 0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:58.760 she was at the height of their fame. They were 0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:02.359 at the height of their family. So billionaire Richard Branson 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:06.760 wrote to Epstein in twenty thirteen after hosting him at 0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:09.280 one of his Giants estates. It was really nice seeing 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:11.960 you today. The boys in water sports can't stop speaking 0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:14.240 about it. Anytime you're in the area. Would love to 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:16.840 see you, as long as you bring your harem, he wrote. 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:21.480 Branson then outline outlined a public relations strategy centered on 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:24.560 Bill Gates. He suggested Gates could say publicly that Epstein 0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:27.919 had been a brilliant advisor, that Epstein quote slipped up 0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:30.119 many years ago by sleeping with a seventeen and a 0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:33.040 half year old woman and was punished for it, okay, 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:36.159 and that Epstein quote had more than learnt your lesson 0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:38.600 and done nothing that's against the law, sins. And yes, 0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:40.479 as a single man, you seem to have a penchant 0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:44.000 for women, but there's nothing wrong with that. Now. A 0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:47.119 spokeswoman for Branson said Epstein used the word harem to 0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:49.879 refer to adult women's he brought women, he brought along, 0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:51.840 and Branson wouldn't have used it if you knew of 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:54.960 his crimes. This was in twenty thirteen. Keep in mind 0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:57.960 after it had already been convicted and done time. She said, 0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:01.440 Branson supports reaplitating form offenders and made a general comment 0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:05.120 Depstein about moving on. Richard believes Epstein's actions were abhorrent 0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:07.520 and supports the right to justice for as many victims. 0:23:07.560 --> 0:23:13.000 She said, now here's a super prominent woman lawyer. 0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:16.480 Now I've heard that presented as when he said harem, 0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:21.399 that's a one hundred percent he was talking about underage girls. 0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:24.399
