0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>riddled with unexplained events. You can turn back now or

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.119
<v Speaker 1>learn this stuff they don't want you to know. A

0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:17.600
<v Speaker 1>production of iHeartRadio.

0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Hello, welcome back to the show. My name is Matt, my.

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 3>Name is not They called me Ben.

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 4>We're joined as always with our super producer Dylan the

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:37.920
<v Speaker 4>Tennessee pal Fagan. Most importantly, you are you. You are here.

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.640
<v Speaker 4>That makes this the stuff they don't want you to know.

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.880
<v Speaker 4>Quick warning at the top, fellow conspiracy realist, this episode

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 4>may not be appropriate for all audiences. We are returning

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 4>tonight with a new installment in our unfortunately ongoing series

0:00:55.400 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 4>about the disgraced financier and sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein and guys.

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.400
<v Speaker 4>As we had pointed out I think on Strange News recently,

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 4>we have been following this story for quite some time.

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 4>I think around twenty nineteen we started.

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 5>I think that's right, some years for sure.

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:18.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was the first time we did a full

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:22.120
<v Speaker 2>episode on the dude and his sweetheart deal that he

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 2>got from the Justice Department after you know, being child

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 2>sex offender.

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:33.680
<v Speaker 5>Yep, plus you know, I mean, that doesn't even cover it.

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't.

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:39.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the degrees of which this guy has operated in

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 5>that despicable space.

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Is mind boggling. Well, in the biggest part of the

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Epstein story the whole time has been the other people

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 2>that have been around him. Right, It's never the Jeffrey

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Epstein story. It is the folks that Jeffrey runs with

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 2>and does things with.

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 4>In our previous episodes, we explore the rhy and fall

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 4>of Epstein from his early life to his official death

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 4>on August tenth, twenty nineteen. We also dive deep into

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 4>those conspiracies allegations that cover up surrounding the numerous scandals

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 4>and people associated with Epstein, as well as his massive

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 4>web of alleged and proven connections. We also talk about Galay,

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 4>Maxwell and Moore. So now we are returning to suss

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 4>out some profoundly disturbing revelations that keep popping up in

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 4>the wake of this predator's death. Please note, folks, we

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 4>are recording this on Monday, March second, twenty twenty six.

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 4>Hopefully we can get some questions answered. This is the

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.119
<v Speaker 4>Epstein Files what we know so far.

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 5>It's definitely sus.

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 4>Here are the facts, all right, guys? Are we bubbled gentlemen,

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:06.240
<v Speaker 4>are are we assuming that everybody already knows about Jeffrey Epstein?

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 3>I feel like everybody. I think it's mainstream.

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 5>I think it's penetrated beyond the bubble.

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think we know everything about this dude at

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:13.919
<v Speaker 2>this point.

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 4>All so, for anyone who has been under a rock

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 4>or falling for the Department of Justices current shenanigans. More

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 4>on that in a bit. Jeffrey Epstein, we explore this

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.679
<v Speaker 4>in depth. He was born on January twentieth, nineteen fifty three.

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 4>His parents seem to be pretty normal people. They're not billionaires.

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 4>His childhood acquaintances later go on to describe him as

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 4>kind of quiet, cheerful, pretty bright, average kid, gift for mathematics,

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 4>and then we know things got really weird when he

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 4>was about twenty one years old and started teaching at

0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 4>the Dalton School.

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 5>Right, he spent some time with Bear Stearns and began

0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 5>to rise in the ranks of high finance and beyond

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 5>really the beginnings of what would ultimately become a global

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 5>human trafficking empire.

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, and he really started to get his wealth

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 2>when he hooked up with Les Wexner. This billionaire dude

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:17.159
<v Speaker 2>that basically ran all the stores in the mall that

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 2>you can imagine, the limiteds and the limited twos and

0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:23.320
<v Speaker 2>the Victorious Secrets and the I was going to say bed,

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Bath and beyond, it's the bed it's the bath and

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 2>bodyworks and shops and the candle shops.

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 3>Like he literally owned the candle company.

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 2>The whatever the one is. I don't think he's Yankees,

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:37.560
<v Speaker 2>the one that's inside the bath and body works, okay,

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 2>because you can get White Barn or something. But he

0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.040
<v Speaker 2>owned all of these things. And then he brings in

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 2>this guy, Jeffrey Epstein, to be basically his financial manager

0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 2>in a lot of ways, and that's where he really

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.280
<v Speaker 2>gains his wealth, Jeffrey Epstein's wealth.

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 4>And I propose already here at the jump, I propose

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 4>that we do two more episod sudes on this subject,

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 4>one about Zoro Ranch now Rafael Ranch, and one about

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 4>the financial Intelligence agency connections, because following the money on

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 4>Victoria's Secret guy gets really interesting and real murky very quickly.

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Then you get into the service capital management with a

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 2>dude that's currently you know, in charge of the Pentagon

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 2>right now at least from the civilian side, and there's

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 2>connections up the wazoo going through all of this stuff.

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:36.280
<v Speaker 5>And so many rumors of Epstein himself being you know,

0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:38.600
<v Speaker 5>an operative of some kind.

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, And I'm I'm moving toward that disposition to

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 4>be quite off it.

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 3>It feels that way.

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:48.479
<v Speaker 5>I mean, at the very least, just just knows far

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 5>too much, you know, to be allowed to live.

0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:55.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, dude, Barack and some of that stuff going, like

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 2>the Masad angle.

0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 4>Is the banking alone.

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he can't pretend like it's not there. I mean,

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 2>if you do, you're doing it willingly, you know what

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:05.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean. Like that's but at this point, that's where

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:06.040
<v Speaker 2>we are.

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:10.160
<v Speaker 5>Oh, there's a lot of willing you know, wool over

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:11.600
<v Speaker 5>eye pulling going on.

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 4>Blissful ignorance for sure. Eventually we know Epstein's crimes did

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:21.000
<v Speaker 4>catch up with him. He escaped justice in multiple instances.

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 4>As we mentioned there at the top, he was eventually

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 4>convicted of something pretty problematic. Instead of saying that he

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:37.040
<v Speaker 4>sexually abused a minor, they said he solicited quote an

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:41.720
<v Speaker 4>underage prostitute. And he went down for this. In two

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:47.640
<v Speaker 4>thousand and eight, he made a mysterious sweetheart plea deal,

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 4>and like an unprecedented one that he was indicted again

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:57.600
<v Speaker 4>in twenty nineteen for sex trafficking federal charges. The official

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.120
<v Speaker 4>story is that he died by his own hand in

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 4>August of that same year while in prison waiting for

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 4>his trial. The trouble is, as we know well, folks,

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:14.119
<v Speaker 4>years later here in twenty twenty six, a great many

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 4>people still do not believe that official conclusion. We've talked

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 4>about this. There are numerous questions about the circumstances.

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.400
<v Speaker 5>I mean, the missing footage alone with the water mark

0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 5>of you know, poorly hastily edited using Adobe Premiere. I mean,

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 5>it's just you can't make this stuff up.

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 2>We've been talking about how CBS in particular has been

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 2>following the trail there of that specific footage that was

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.200
<v Speaker 2>released by the Justice Department when they came out and

0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.120
<v Speaker 2>made a big statement, Hey, nothing to see here, we

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 2>got all the footage. Nobody went up near Epstein's cell.

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 2>We're all good if you want to continue down that pathway,

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.840
<v Speaker 2>and we can if you want to in here, but

0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 2>you can also do it on your own. Just look

0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 2>up CBS news coverage currently, you can look up who

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 2>entered Epstein's jail tier the night of his death. Newly

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 2>released videologues appear to contradict official accounts. That's from the

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.640
<v Speaker 2>second of February in twenty twenty six, and it does

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 2>appear to show that somebody wearing an orange jumpsuit went

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 2>up to Jeffrey Epstein's cell.

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we also know that the charges were dropped against

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 4>the guards. They went to court for a minute because

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 4>of their odd behavior and the fact that they were

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:33.040
<v Speaker 4>asleep at the switch or something, and they went through

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:37.480
<v Speaker 4>the news cycle and then once the global attention turned

0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 4>to something else, they were free.

0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 5>I mean, all of this just reeks of fall guy.

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.840
<v Speaker 5>You know, even Epstein himself feels like the fall guy.

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.800
<v Speaker 5>And not to mention Maxwell, who is of course now

0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.280
<v Speaker 5>you know, soaking it up with puppies and club fed.

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.680
<v Speaker 5>I mean, this is bigger than Epstein as an individual

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.319
<v Speaker 5>or as some sort of mastermind. I think he just represents,

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:05.840
<v Speaker 5>you know, the public facing individual behind something much much

0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:10.520
<v Speaker 5>much more nefarious and generational and eyes wide shut.

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, putting the news loves a simple story, right, We

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:20.840
<v Speaker 4>love one single individual, one face to put upon a crime, right.

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 4>And I agree with you, Noel, that it is bigger

0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 4>than Jeffrey Epstein, and I think a lot of journalist

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:31.480
<v Speaker 4>activist in the public overall would agree with us as well,

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 4>continually pointing to these various disturbing puzzle pieces, and they'll

0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:40.840
<v Speaker 4>ask even now whether Epstein took his own life or

0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:44.680
<v Speaker 4>whether he was murdered or forced to take his own life.

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:48.199
<v Speaker 4>And then a little further along the spectrum, you'll find

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.199
<v Speaker 4>a growing number of people who tell you that they

0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 4>don't think Epstein ever actually died. I was surprised to

0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 4>hear this when we were hanging out with Killer Mike

0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 4>with Michael Render. That is his take, and we'll see

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 4>as we get further into this, there are some puzzle

0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:12.960
<v Speaker 4>pieces that are disturbing. But officially took his own life

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:17.000
<v Speaker 4>twenty nineteen, he passed away. It is difficult to fake

0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 4>one's death well.

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 5>For sure, And if that word to have happened, it

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 5>would have had to have happened with the assistance of

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:27.560
<v Speaker 5>some very powerful people within the government most likely, and

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 5>that narrative just doesn't make sense. It makes much more

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 5>sense that they would have had him killed because he

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 5>was the keeper of the keys to this whole operation.

0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.880
<v Speaker 5>He could name names, you know, we already know all

0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 5>this talk of storage facilities littered across the country that

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:48.320
<v Speaker 5>supposedly have unreleased evidence, you know, dead hand type stuff.

0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 5>I just don't think they would allow him to go

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.640
<v Speaker 5>chill in the Bahamas or wherever, you know, in some

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 5>secret island.

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:54.839
<v Speaker 3>That just doesn't make sability.

0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.200
<v Speaker 2>And that stuff that Jeffrey Epstein put in place, that's

0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.520
<v Speaker 2>right to make sure that he would not be killed, right,

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:03.839
<v Speaker 2>or to make sure if he were going to be killed,

0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.199
<v Speaker 2>they would pay, and you would know you would pay

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.319
<v Speaker 2>if you were going to kill him. That was all

0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 2>part of the setup. That is not I'm no expert,

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.200
<v Speaker 2>but in my mind, that is not someone who takes

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:14.839
<v Speaker 2>their own life.

0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, tempted to agree as well. I mean, the fancy

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.880
<v Speaker 4>term for faking one's death is pseudo side and it

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 4>is again incredibly difficult. Also, it does it not make

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 4>you a liability at that point, right, Look, it's sticky

0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.160
<v Speaker 4>no matter how you look at it. Even if you

0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 4>are the most skeptical person out there, you do have

0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:44.720
<v Speaker 4>to question all these anomalies and irregularities. And that last

0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.679
<v Speaker 4>theory of faking one's death, that would require a lot

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:51.360
<v Speaker 4>of planning. It would require pretty big cast of characters.

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 4>But we do know that Epstein knew a lot of people.

0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 4>Politicians of all stripes, professors, celebrities, business tycoons, tons of

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:06.559
<v Speaker 4>the world's most powerful folks were in one way or

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.560
<v Speaker 4>another in his web. They might not have been aware

0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 4>of his sex crimes. That's what a lot of people

0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 4>are saying now, like the Clintons and their recent statements

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 4>to Congress. But they people did rub shoulders with him.

0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 4>They sent off, you know, short, casual, sometimes cryptic emails,

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 4>They went to the same parties. They asked him for

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:29.800
<v Speaker 4>financial advice. We had you know, his employees asking him

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.800
<v Speaker 4>for money. That's in the emails as well. He was

0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:37.760
<v Speaker 4>one of those guys. It seemed like everybody somehow new That's.

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:38.280
<v Speaker 3>The thing I mean.

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 5>And it's people on both sides politically, it's people that

0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:47.160
<v Speaker 5>you might consider to be super innocuous and harmless, like

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 5>I think Stephen Hawking. Was he not not as he's

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.560
<v Speaker 5>inherently innocuous or you know, just like the face of

0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.320
<v Speaker 5>pure goodness. But I mean, that's not a dude you

0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 5>would have thought to have been wrapped up in things

0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 5>like this. So it becomes because you start to see

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:05.600
<v Speaker 5>so many people connected that you almost is hard parsing

0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.920
<v Speaker 5>out who knew what and who was part of it

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 5>and who wasn't, because it's tough to believe maybe that

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 5>everybody knew or that everybody knew everything. So it's really

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.079
<v Speaker 5>easy to muddy the waters by just dropping all these

0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 5>names of people that you know are associated with, like, well,

0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:22.320
<v Speaker 5>that guy wouldn't have done anything like that.

0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's also tough to know to believe when you've

0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.800
<v Speaker 2>got someone like Bill Clinton that did you guys see

0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:32.400
<v Speaker 2>the video he put out? So he gave sworn testimony, right,

0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:34.480
<v Speaker 2>but then he also made a social video where it's

0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 2>just him sitting like this in front of a camera

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.640
<v Speaker 2>and talking to us, the American people about what he

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't know anything about the crimes and what was going on.

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:48.160
<v Speaker 2>So you have it's tough to know, well, am I being,

0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.880
<v Speaker 2>is this man just lying directly to me and everybody

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 2>else on purpose right now? Is he telling the truth?

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 2>There's no way for us to know. You just got

0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:57.880
<v Speaker 2>to choose to believe.

0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:01.320
<v Speaker 5>And also not to mention that I am fascinated by

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 5>the fact that he as a counter to a lot

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.960
<v Speaker 5>of the obfuscation that's been going on and you know

0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.560
<v Speaker 5>Trump saying like, well, my buddy Bill Clinton, you know no.

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.880
<v Speaker 5>Clinton was like, release it, release all of it. You know,

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.480
<v Speaker 5>I've got nothing toe And that to me is has

0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.440
<v Speaker 5>the ring of truth to it. When you're putting it

0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 5>all out there like that in the face of people

0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 5>that are covering up, you're saying, don't.

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 3>Do it on my account. Yeah.

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 4>He had some bangers in his testimony as well, Old

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 4>Slick Willie. There was one line that stood out to

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:33.760
<v Speaker 4>me where he said he said, since I'm on the oath,

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 4>I will not say I'm looking forward to your questions.

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 4>I will say I am ready to answer that. I mean,

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 4>that's like we have nothing to fear but fear itself,

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 4>you know.

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean that's good, Yes, good rhetoric. Correct, And it was.

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 4>It was tense for sure. We also know that Epstein

0:14:54.880 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 4>kept a lot of records. He wanted documents pat of

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:04.960
<v Speaker 4>his interactions with all of these powerful people. Much of

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:11.000
<v Speaker 4>this was later collected in criminal investigations. Over three hundred

0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.120
<v Speaker 4>gigs of data as well as other media, are in

0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:20.640
<v Speaker 4>the FBI's Sentinel case management system, which is itself another episode.

0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.280
<v Speaker 4>Have you guys heard about Sentinel?

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:23.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't think I have.

0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:29.120
<v Speaker 4>It's the solution to the FBI's problem with documentation and

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 4>organizing cases. It's kind of like the Palenteer for their

0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:37.040
<v Speaker 4>case management. And it is a foreign owned company.

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:39.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, now that's the first I've heard of that.

0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:42.520
<v Speaker 5>What a creepy name too, I guess I think of

0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:44.520
<v Speaker 5>the mean robots in the X Men.

0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 4>All this data, this aggregate data is that's what's loosely

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:54.320
<v Speaker 4>known as the Epstein Files. Millions of documents, emails, videos, images,

0:15:54.800 --> 0:16:01.600
<v Speaker 4>court filings, transcripts, other artifacts. Also Epsteins quote unquote little

0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 4>black book, like his rolodex, his list of contacts, uh,

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 4>the flight logs for his planes. In these files, we

0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 4>also find loads of similar names from both the public

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 4>sphere and earlier episodes of our show. Thinking for example

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:23.520
<v Speaker 4>of Peter Teel, who speaks quite a bit with Epstein.

0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 5>Jannis Joplin's in there, guys, Kurt Cobain, Sorry, we'll get

0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 5>to that. The recent just drop of like a list

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:35.000
<v Speaker 5>of names that were mentioned in zero context for the

0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:39.520
<v Speaker 5>nature of their mentioning, including some long dead rock stars.

0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 4>Wow, I didn't know Janis Joplin. I'm looking forward to

0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:43.200
<v Speaker 4>that one.

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 2>No, yeah, but yeah, this is just human beings dropping

0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:47.400
<v Speaker 2>names and emails.

0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:50.400
<v Speaker 5>Right, But the way they released it was just like here,

0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.080
<v Speaker 5>look at this, zero contexts are like.

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:54.800
<v Speaker 4>Flooding the zone.

0:16:55.600 --> 0:17:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's just these are these are thousands of emails, right,

0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:05.119
<v Speaker 2>millions of emails and documents. So there are just there

0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.520
<v Speaker 2>are a bunch of a bunch of names in there

0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:09.320
<v Speaker 2>in places and people that have nothing to do with

0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:09.800
<v Speaker 2>any crime.

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:11.800
<v Speaker 5>So what's the point of releasing that as a list

0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:15.480
<v Speaker 5>if not to just dilute to the situation and distract

0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 5>bit Yeah.

0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:20.080
<v Speaker 4>To flood the zone. Quoting against Steve Bannon, who also

0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:25.119
<v Speaker 4>shows up in the Epstein Files. Now, why you're asking yourself, folks,

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:28.399
<v Speaker 4>as you're tuning in and thanks for joining us, you're saying, guys,

0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:31.440
<v Speaker 4>why do we even know some of this?

0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:32.200
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:37.800
<v Speaker 4>Because the victim and survivor statements were ignored for years decades. Indeed,

0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.840
<v Speaker 4>we know a lot of this because back in November

0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:45.560
<v Speaker 4>of twenty twenty five, US Congress passed something called the

0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:51.760
<v Speaker 4>Epstein Files Transparency Act. This mandates Uncle Sam to quote

0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:57.240
<v Speaker 4>make publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format, all

0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:02.240
<v Speaker 4>files pertaining to Epstein everything, Gary Oldman, Gift right, and

0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:06.040
<v Speaker 4>Sir here. Along with there is the sticky part, an

0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:10.000
<v Speaker 4>unredacted list of old government officials and what they call

0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:14.800
<v Speaker 4>politically exposed persons named in the files. Now, I want

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:18.320
<v Speaker 4>to be honest with everybody, I'm not quite clear on

0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:22.000
<v Speaker 4>what politically exposed persons means.

0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.920
<v Speaker 5>Well, it certainly it doesn't mean what maybe it would

0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:31.600
<v Speaker 5>once mean in this climate, as we see careers being ruined,

0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:33.760
<v Speaker 5>people being arrested in other parts of the country as

0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:37.119
<v Speaker 5>a result of their participation or their names being named.

0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:39.760
<v Speaker 5>But over here doesn't seem to do a damn thing

0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:43.240
<v Speaker 5>in terms of like being politically exposed, and that being

0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.720
<v Speaker 5>something that would actually bring someone down just seems like

0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:51.320
<v Speaker 5>another you know, string of fall guys and minor slaps

0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:53.480
<v Speaker 5>on wrists, And I don't know, I just don't know

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:55.600
<v Speaker 5>what it even means these days to be politically exposed.

0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:57.760
<v Speaker 4>It feels like a chess move. It feels like they're

0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:00.000
<v Speaker 4>positioning to aim at some peace.

0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to think of people who've actually in the

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.760
<v Speaker 2>US who have faced consequence or have been let go.

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:06.679
<v Speaker 2>I know there are a few doctors who have been

0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:10.400
<v Speaker 2>let go by institutions who show up in the files.

0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.600
<v Speaker 4>A couple professors retired.

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:16.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, well, and that's because like in the

0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:18.720
<v Speaker 2>case of the doctors, they appear to be only in

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.440
<v Speaker 2>the fact that they are providing services to girls, young

0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:25.360
<v Speaker 2>women who are a part of Jeffrey's thing, and they're

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:27.480
<v Speaker 2>also they're usually doing it in a way that would

0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:31.119
<v Speaker 2>not be the normal way, like a normal doctor patient

0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:35.359
<v Speaker 2>relationship kind of deal. It's like the concierge doctor thing

0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:39.000
<v Speaker 2>that you have, like a house call, like a doctor

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.280
<v Speaker 2>at Mount Sinai that you can call who happens to

0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:44.800
<v Speaker 2>run the breast cancer research side, like an entire thing.

0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 2>But she also used to date Jeffrey Epstein. And also

0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:52.480
<v Speaker 2>she was a beauty pageant queen at one point, but

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.440
<v Speaker 2>now she's married to a different billionaire. But she has

0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:58.680
<v Speaker 2>connection to all these other people fascinating stuff.

0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.080
<v Speaker 4>And is willing to bend the room. Some of those

0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:04.720
<v Speaker 4>doctors I'm looking forward to diving into, well looking forward

0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:06.800
<v Speaker 4>it's not correct, but we do have to dive into

0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:09.159
<v Speaker 4>some of that. We also know, we know some of

0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:12.640
<v Speaker 4>what's been released. Folks were talking about the Epstein files,

0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:16.959
<v Speaker 4>but as we record again on Monday March second, twenty

0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:21.760
<v Speaker 4>twenty six, these files have still only been partially released,

0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:24.960
<v Speaker 4>and a portion of what has been released has also

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:28.800
<v Speaker 4>been scrubbed from the Internet and then put back online,

0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:33.720
<v Speaker 4>and it's also been redacted imperfectly in some cases. Right,

0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:37.639
<v Speaker 4>we all remember the copy and paste story from Gosh

0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 4>that was earlier last year.

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:42.280
<v Speaker 5>I want to mean in some of the reactions, yeah

0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:45.240
<v Speaker 5>about how you could just load them up in Adobe

0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:48.240
<v Speaker 5>and yeah, easily just remove the layer. I know we're

0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:51.080
<v Speaker 5>going to get into it too, but all the four

0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:55.000
<v Speaker 5>Chance stuff, guys. Yes, there's so much fascinating new stuff

0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:58.560
<v Speaker 5>about that and what Pizzagate really was, and the idea

0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:01.840
<v Speaker 5>of once again been flooding the zone in advance of

0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:04.680
<v Speaker 5>some of these allegations coming out in order to further

0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:05.919
<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry we should hold off.

0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:08.359
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's just we've got to get to it.

0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:10.280
<v Speaker 3>We know good, we know.

0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:16.119
<v Speaker 4>This entire scandal has only become more controversial as time continues.

0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:20.840
<v Speaker 4>The public is accusing the FBI, the Justice Department, and

0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:25.920
<v Speaker 4>a lot of politicians have actively covered up the crimes

0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:29.280
<v Speaker 4>in the Epstein files of protecting powerful people from being

0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:35.439
<v Speaker 4>identified as co conspirators collaborators of Jeffrey Epstein, possibly in

0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:40.359
<v Speaker 4>shady financial dealings, but also more directly in the horrific

0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:44.040
<v Speaker 4>sexual abuse of children. So the DOJ real quick on

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:48.000
<v Speaker 4>the timeline, folks. In response to this outcry, they release

0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:52.960
<v Speaker 4>an additional three point five million or so pages of

0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:56.760
<v Speaker 4>EPSTEIN files in January of this year, twenty twenty six.

0:21:57.119 --> 0:22:01.600
<v Speaker 4>This also includes around two thousand videos one hundred and

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:05.000
<v Speaker 4>eighty thousand images, some of which are going to keep

0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:07.720
<v Speaker 4>you up at night disturbing, Yeah.

0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Because they in several of them, they did not redact

0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:15.800
<v Speaker 2>the victim's faces nights, but they did redact the abusers'

0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:18.040
<v Speaker 2>faces and names.

0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:20.520
<v Speaker 5>I mean that was a big problem too. I mean,

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:23.159
<v Speaker 5>so many of the abusers, or at least a handful

0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:26.640
<v Speaker 5>of them, were doxed in some of these drops, and

0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:29.480
<v Speaker 5>the Justice Department never apologized for it. But weirdly the

0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:34.400
<v Speaker 5>names of potential co conspirators seemed to have been redacted.

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, many times.

0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:38.600
<v Speaker 5>It's not under the terms of the law, which there

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:40.959
<v Speaker 5>was a law that forced the release of this stuff,

0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:43.800
<v Speaker 5>as we know. I don't call the exact official name,

0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:46.840
<v Speaker 5>but that was what led to this these drops, and

0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:49.600
<v Speaker 5>they were supposed to get more, but it appears that we're.

0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:52.000
<v Speaker 4>Not going to the Epstein transparency yet, Thank you, Ben.

0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't until members of Congress approached the Department of

0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Justice and said, hey, you forgot to do these things,

0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:01.320
<v Speaker 2>and you did all the these other things. You need to

0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:04.160
<v Speaker 2>fix it, and then several of them, to I guess

0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:06.840
<v Speaker 2>the credit of the DOJ, they fix them, but only

0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:10.879
<v Speaker 2>after giving certain congress people access to these files like

0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:13.760
<v Speaker 2>personal quiet, access to these files.

0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:18.360
<v Speaker 5>On hardwired machines, mind you, in or their department. They

0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:20.639
<v Speaker 5>let them come in, take a look for a couple

0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:22.760
<v Speaker 5>of hours, I mean, that's what we're talking.

0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:26.320
<v Speaker 4>And then walk out without those files, without copies of them.

0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:31.520
<v Speaker 4>Basically skiff rules. And we know that right now. Well

0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:37.879
<v Speaker 4>as of February, three people aside from Galain Maxwell, have

0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:43.840
<v Speaker 4>undergone criminal investigations due to what was revealed in the

0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:51.359
<v Speaker 4>Epstein files. And these three people are they're high value

0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:54.440
<v Speaker 4>targets you could call them, but none of them are

0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:59.480
<v Speaker 4>from the United States. It's the Norwegian former Norwegian prime minister.

0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:03.560
<v Speaker 4>It's this real pill over in the UK, Andrew and

0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:06.840
<v Speaker 4>then another British guy, a politician named Peter Mandelsson.

0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:10.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I believe Andrew got stripped of his princely title

0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:15.480
<v Speaker 5>and down to a smaller estate. You know, he no

0:24:15.560 --> 0:24:17.479
<v Speaker 5>longer gets a castle or something like that. I mean,

0:24:17.560 --> 0:24:20.080
<v Speaker 5>that's what we're talking here, and that is ongoing. He

0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:23.520
<v Speaker 5>was arrested and collared, put in you know, given a

0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 5>purp walk, which is a big deal.

0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:28.880
<v Speaker 3>But I wouldn't hold my breath ready jail time.

0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:32.800
<v Speaker 2>And Peter Mandelsson was the he was in some way.

0:24:33.240 --> 0:24:35.119
<v Speaker 2>He was in the House of Lords, right, I believe

0:24:35.160 --> 0:24:37.760
<v Speaker 2>that's correct, the right honorable Lord Mandelsson.

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:40.960
<v Speaker 4>I love, right, honorable. By the way, I am sad

0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:44.280
<v Speaker 4>that we don't have that in the United States.

0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:46.760
<v Speaker 2>He's a former UK ambassador to the US.

0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:51.879
<v Speaker 4>That's okay, And he had some sketchy financial dealings. And also,

0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:55.600
<v Speaker 4>by the way, folks, as we mentioned in our previous

0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:58.280
<v Speaker 4>Strange News program, which you can find wherever you find

0:24:58.280 --> 0:25:04.159
<v Speaker 4>your favorite shows, Prince Andrew did not get arrested for

0:25:04.480 --> 0:25:09.760
<v Speaker 4>allegations of sexual abuse. He got arrested for insider trading.

0:25:09.880 --> 0:25:11.760
<v Speaker 3>Basically, I thought it was some sort.

0:25:11.560 --> 0:25:14.680
<v Speaker 5>Of like political misconduct of some kind. It was a

0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:15.440
<v Speaker 5>little more broad.

0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:19.720
<v Speaker 4>It was financial stuff, kind of like how Capone went

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:21.200
<v Speaker 4>down for income tax evation.

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:24.919
<v Speaker 5>Sure or again, even the ultimate or the first charge

0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:28.080
<v Speaker 5>that Epstein received felt like a real downgrade.

0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, guys, tell me if I'm wrong here. I imagine,

0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:34.200
<v Speaker 2>if you're in this position, you're a billionaire, your royalty,

0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:37.879
<v Speaker 2>you're whatever in those echelons. You've done some things in

0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:40.880
<v Speaker 2>your life, probably that you're not proud of, that probably

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 2>at least skirted the law in some way to get

0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:46.760
<v Speaker 2>where you are. The last thing you want is to

0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:51.560
<v Speaker 2>have some form of discovery process that's wide in your life.

0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:54.840
<v Speaker 2>You do not want. This, do not want because all

0:25:54.880 --> 0:25:57.000
<v Speaker 2>the other little cracks start to show, all the other

0:25:57.080 --> 0:26:00.520
<v Speaker 2>little rats start to run out and scurry around, because

0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:04.000
<v Speaker 2>now everybody's scared that you're under investigation. I think I

0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:07.560
<v Speaker 2>just imagine that that kind of thing is one of

0:26:07.600 --> 0:26:10.000
<v Speaker 2>the worst fears with all of this stuff. You just

0:26:10.200 --> 0:26:14.159
<v Speaker 2>don't want the investigation to begin because what's at stake

0:26:14.440 --> 0:26:18.480
<v Speaker 2>is your legacy, right, maybe your treasure that you've accrued,

0:26:18.480 --> 0:26:21.600
<v Speaker 2>maybe your family's wealth at some point, but ultimately it's

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:24.280
<v Speaker 2>your name. And I wonder that if these people are

0:26:24.280 --> 0:26:26.200
<v Speaker 2>not mostly worried about that.

0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:31.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm wondering if it's also personal safety, because one thing

0:26:31.359 --> 0:26:36.159
<v Speaker 4>that's happened in counter terrorism that required some nuance is

0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:39.479
<v Speaker 4>you know, you can rattle the cage. Right, you can

0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:42.359
<v Speaker 4>rattle the bag of badgers, say you're looking for one,

0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:45.399
<v Speaker 4>and then see who else starts to behave in a

0:26:45.440 --> 0:26:48.680
<v Speaker 4>strange way because they think they'll get found out as

0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:50.840
<v Speaker 4>you go through the skeletons in the closet.

0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:52.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, that when people flip.

0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:54.879
<v Speaker 4>But that's yeah, that's not just when people flip. But

0:26:54.920 --> 0:26:58.560
<v Speaker 4>at this level, it is not inconceivable that some of

0:26:58.600 --> 0:27:03.440
<v Speaker 4>these folks say, hey, if liability the eye turns to me, Yeah,

0:27:03.480 --> 0:27:06.880
<v Speaker 4>do I become a liability? Is the not my legacy,

0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:09.840
<v Speaker 4>but is my physical life and the life of my

0:27:10.000 --> 0:27:12.960
<v Speaker 4>family in danger of ending?

0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:27:13.520 --> 0:27:15.920
<v Speaker 4>Because those other badgers don't want to get pulled out

0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:16.359
<v Speaker 4>of the bag.

0:27:16.680 --> 0:27:18.920
<v Speaker 2>You might be right, man, but I think at these

0:27:19.000 --> 0:27:22.040
<v Speaker 2>levels you've got security, and you know, if you pay

0:27:22.359 --> 0:27:25.840
<v Speaker 2>people enough, I think you're I I don't know. I

0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:28.720
<v Speaker 2>don't know, because we know, we do know that a

0:27:28.760 --> 0:27:31.959
<v Speaker 2>supreme leader, let's say of Iran, can get touched if

0:27:32.000 --> 0:27:35.119
<v Speaker 2>you have the right munitions, or let's say Maduro, a

0:27:35.119 --> 0:27:38.720
<v Speaker 2>guy who runs an entire country, can get just whisks away.

0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:44.600
<v Speaker 2>But you know there are there are intense like contractor

0:27:44.640 --> 0:27:48.919
<v Speaker 2>security teams around a lot of these folks. And I

0:27:48.920 --> 0:27:50.399
<v Speaker 2>don't know, maybe they have a fear of death, but

0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:52.080
<v Speaker 2>I feel like people that operate on that level are

0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:57.560
<v Speaker 2>somehow like I. Maybe that's just my imagining that people

0:27:57.560 --> 0:28:01.080
<v Speaker 2>aren't as afraid of death once you get somewhere in

0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:03.320
<v Speaker 2>those levels, and I wonder why you're.

0:28:03.320 --> 0:28:06.040
<v Speaker 5>There's always a level above you know, there's always a

0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:06.840
<v Speaker 5>bigger badger.

0:28:07.320 --> 0:28:10.120
<v Speaker 3>You know that you don't want to poke a rattle.

0:28:09.840 --> 0:28:13.320
<v Speaker 5>That could potentially trump any of those measures or even

0:28:13.400 --> 0:28:16.119
<v Speaker 5>get to the folks who are protecting you. I just

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:17.840
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, not to sound too paranoid, but I

0:28:17.880 --> 0:28:20.480
<v Speaker 5>just feel like there are wheels within wheels, and no

0:28:20.480 --> 0:28:22.720
<v Speaker 5>matter what level you might be at, there's always someone

0:28:22.760 --> 0:28:25.240
<v Speaker 5>above you. There's always a bigger fish that can just

0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:26.040
<v Speaker 5>snatch you up.

0:28:26.240 --> 0:28:29.359
<v Speaker 4>That makes sense, And we know also, speaking of bigger fish,

0:28:29.400 --> 0:28:36.359
<v Speaker 4>that despite the five arrests Okay Epstein, Galain, Maxwell Thorburn, Joggland, Yogland,

0:28:36.960 --> 0:28:41.440
<v Speaker 4>Prince Andrew and Peter Mendelssohn, despite those five arrests, the

0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:45.880
<v Speaker 4>world seems certain that there are way more Epstein related

0:28:45.880 --> 0:28:49.920
<v Speaker 4>offenders out there. So our question becomes what's getting covered up?

0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:53.400
<v Speaker 4>This is what we know about the Epstein files so far.

0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:57.160
<v Speaker 4>Before we continue again, folks, as we said at the top,

0:28:57.760 --> 0:29:02.280
<v Speaker 4>please note this may not be appropriate for all audiences.

0:29:02.720 --> 0:29:11.280
<v Speaker 4>We'll be right back years where it gets crazy. When

0:29:11.320 --> 0:29:16.000
<v Speaker 4>would we say the Epstein files begin to coalesce?

0:29:16.320 --> 0:29:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Gosh, when Epstein meets Gallaine and her dad?

0:29:23.440 --> 0:29:24.720
<v Speaker 4>Oh, Robert Maxwell?

0:29:24.880 --> 0:29:27.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I guess when you say coalesce, you mean

0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:30.800
<v Speaker 5>like the the you know, when does the story begin?

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:35.040
<v Speaker 4>Well, yeah, it's tricky because we know we can loosely

0:29:35.160 --> 0:29:38.560
<v Speaker 4>say that the collection of these files begins around two

0:29:38.680 --> 0:29:43.280
<v Speaker 4>thousand and five, but the events recorded in this yeah,

0:29:43.400 --> 0:29:45.560
<v Speaker 4>the stuff they collect, to your point, nol, it dates

0:29:45.600 --> 0:29:48.880
<v Speaker 4>back far earlier. As we said earlier. In two thousand

0:29:48.920 --> 0:29:54.120
<v Speaker 4>and six, the FBI was investigating Epstein again, following reports

0:29:54.200 --> 0:29:58.320
<v Speaker 4>that he had been paying minors for sexual acts in

0:29:58.360 --> 0:30:01.960
<v Speaker 4>his mansion in Florida. Fast forward a year two thousand

0:30:02.000 --> 0:30:07.240
<v Speaker 4>and seven, the FEDS have a draft indictment of thirty

0:30:07.280 --> 0:30:11.920
<v Speaker 4>two counts against Epstein and two of his employees. But

0:30:12.480 --> 0:30:15.920
<v Speaker 4>we all know how that worked out, courtesy of US

0:30:16.000 --> 0:30:17.880
<v Speaker 4>Attorney Alexander Acosta.

0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:20.080
<v Speaker 3>What do you guys, I don't know.

0:30:20.200 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 5>There's often criticism by the current administration and certain mouthpieces

0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:28.719
<v Speaker 5>of it that, well, if it was so bad, if

0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:30.720
<v Speaker 5>everything that was in there was so damning to the

0:30:30.720 --> 0:30:32.880
<v Speaker 5>president and all his cronies or whatever, why didn't the

0:30:32.880 --> 0:30:35.920
<v Speaker 5>Biden administration release it? And the answer to that as always, well,

0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:37.200
<v Speaker 5>it was an active investigation.

0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:41.840
<v Speaker 3>Do you guys buy that? Does that really matter?

0:30:41.920 --> 0:30:44.959
<v Speaker 5>Is that as ironclad a thing as folks seem to

0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:49.120
<v Speaker 5>say on the left, or could there have been something

0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:53.120
<v Speaker 5>done in terms of trying to politically damage folks?

0:30:53.480 --> 0:30:57.480
<v Speaker 4>It's I think it's an a political cover up. No,

0:30:57.640 --> 0:31:01.800
<v Speaker 4>it has been politicized, weaponized in various ways. But uh,

0:31:02.200 --> 0:31:05.000
<v Speaker 4>I think a lot of people on the so called

0:31:05.120 --> 0:31:09.600
<v Speaker 4>or public facing left were also in the files. Yeah,

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:13.960
<v Speaker 4>and active in uh, active in preventing that from getting

0:31:14.040 --> 0:31:14.640
<v Speaker 4>to the public.

0:31:14.760 --> 0:31:17.240
<v Speaker 5>To your point, if they release the trumpy bits, they

0:31:17.280 --> 0:31:19.960
<v Speaker 5>also have to release some other, you know, damning things

0:31:20.000 --> 0:31:22.040
<v Speaker 5>that get swept up in there, and it could just

0:31:22.080 --> 0:31:25.960
<v Speaker 5>be a zero sum game in terms of political damage.

0:31:26.120 --> 0:31:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, let's remember, really think back how important the concept

0:31:30.320 --> 0:31:34.600
<v Speaker 2>of releasing the Epstein files has been for the Trump

0:31:34.640 --> 0:31:35.520
<v Speaker 2>administry as.

0:31:35.400 --> 0:31:38.840
<v Speaker 5>A political talking points, as a campaign promise.

0:31:38.560 --> 0:31:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Right, yes, as a giant ramp We're gonna get there

0:31:41.480 --> 0:31:44.000
<v Speaker 2>one day, and it's gonna happen. So people who support

0:31:44.000 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 2>that administration, who wanted that, that was a huge part

0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:49.760
<v Speaker 2>of it. Right, So once you get up there, you

0:31:49.840 --> 0:31:51.840
<v Speaker 2>have to take action. You have to do something so

0:31:51.880 --> 0:31:54.680
<v Speaker 2>you get the performative stuff that happened last year. Right,

0:31:54.720 --> 0:31:58.640
<v Speaker 2>we all remember the giant folders that were the buying

0:31:59.200 --> 0:32:01.560
<v Speaker 2>and buyer. Oh look at all this stuff we got.

0:32:01.600 --> 0:32:05.080
<v Speaker 2>This is incredible. But ultimately, what you've got or appointed

0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:08.400
<v Speaker 2>human beings at key positions within the Department of Justice,

0:32:08.440 --> 0:32:11.719
<v Speaker 2>within the FBI, within all these other places, that the

0:32:11.760 --> 0:32:15.200
<v Speaker 2>primary directive, if if we're talking about like a programmed robot,

0:32:15.320 --> 0:32:19.440
<v Speaker 2>the primary directive is to protect Number one, protect the

0:32:19.480 --> 0:32:22.880
<v Speaker 2>president right, and protect everybody who's connected to Number one

0:32:22.880 --> 0:32:26.440
<v Speaker 2>and within the administration. That that is my opinion on

0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:28.760
<v Speaker 2>what their prime directive is because of what I've seen

0:32:28.800 --> 0:32:31.800
<v Speaker 2>them do and say. You have to take action, so

0:32:31.880 --> 0:32:34.200
<v Speaker 2>you do release things, but you also have to protect

0:32:34.280 --> 0:32:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Number one. With both of those things happening at the

0:32:36.760 --> 0:32:39.080
<v Speaker 2>same time, you see exactly what we see today.

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:44.320
<v Speaker 4>We also know that when Epstein was arrested for the

0:32:44.400 --> 0:32:48.360
<v Speaker 4>last time on Saturday, July sixth, twenty nineteen, he was

0:32:48.400 --> 0:32:52.120
<v Speaker 4>over at the Teeterborough Airport in New Jersey. He seemed

0:32:52.120 --> 0:32:55.920
<v Speaker 4>to know what was up. He had gotten wind of

0:32:56.000 --> 0:32:58.800
<v Speaker 4>what was going to happen. He probably knew before he landed.

0:32:59.160 --> 0:33:02.840
<v Speaker 4>But it's interesting if you look at agent's notes from

0:33:02.880 --> 0:33:06.920
<v Speaker 4>the FBI guys who arrested him getting off his private jet.

0:33:07.600 --> 0:33:12.600
<v Speaker 4>The notes they have are him asking questions literally as

0:33:12.640 --> 0:33:15.240
<v Speaker 4>he's cuffed and in the car. He says, is this

0:33:15.400 --> 0:33:20.280
<v Speaker 4>about sex trafficking? Is this about underage? Like? He did

0:33:20.360 --> 0:33:24.800
<v Speaker 4>not say lawyer, He did not you know, he did

0:33:24.800 --> 0:33:28.200
<v Speaker 4>not clam up the way you're supposed to. He seemed

0:33:28.360 --> 0:33:31.760
<v Speaker 4>to anticipate what was going to happen. Five weeks later,

0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:33.880
<v Speaker 4>per the official story, he dies.

0:33:33.800 --> 0:33:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, doesn't it make you wonder his reaction there from

0:33:37.240 --> 0:33:40.239
<v Speaker 2>the plane. Doesn't it make you wonder a little bit

0:33:40.280 --> 0:33:43.840
<v Speaker 2>about maybe that's not the worst thing that he was doing.

0:33:43.960 --> 0:33:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Hell no, or maybe that's not the scariest Iceberg.

0:33:46.800 --> 0:33:50.520
<v Speaker 5>It's the surface level stuff. It's almost charming to him. Yeah, okay,

0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:51.080
<v Speaker 5>I'll answer.

0:33:51.280 --> 0:33:53.720
<v Speaker 4>That's why I'm bringing it up. It's like you're getting

0:33:53.800 --> 0:33:57.520
<v Speaker 4>arrested and you go, oh, which one for which thing?

0:33:57.880 --> 0:34:01.680
<v Speaker 5>His demeanor in some of those depositions videos it's cool

0:34:01.720 --> 0:34:04.440
<v Speaker 5>as a damn cucumber man. That is not a dude

0:34:04.680 --> 0:34:08.160
<v Speaker 5>that is experiencing remorse, that is not a dude that

0:34:08.360 --> 0:34:13.640
<v Speaker 5>is worried. It's comical the degree of cool that he

0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:15.480
<v Speaker 5>exhibits in some of those interviews.

0:34:15.800 --> 0:34:18.759
<v Speaker 4>And we all remember hearing the news right for a

0:34:18.920 --> 0:34:25.040
<v Speaker 4>brief period of time, it was similar to UFO disclosure conversations. Right,

0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:29.399
<v Speaker 4>we're on the cusp of exposing this vast conspiracy. The

0:34:29.440 --> 0:34:34.719
<v Speaker 4>network of fellow predators will be identified, investigated, possibly detained

0:34:34.840 --> 0:34:39.040
<v Speaker 4>or prosecuted. But we saw folklore kick in too high

0:34:39.080 --> 0:34:41.680
<v Speaker 4>gear because the public did not have much in the

0:34:41.719 --> 0:34:46.960
<v Speaker 4>way of transparency or official confirmation. So without transparency, speculation thrives.

0:34:47.480 --> 0:34:53.480
<v Speaker 4>And this is where we see modern conspiracy engines kicking

0:34:53.600 --> 0:34:57.200
<v Speaker 4>up into high gear. People started taking the news that

0:34:57.280 --> 0:35:02.080
<v Speaker 4>we could prove and folding it into their own existing

0:35:02.200 --> 0:35:06.440
<v Speaker 4>lore right about shadowy cabals or maybe Clinton corruption, or

0:35:06.760 --> 0:35:12.160
<v Speaker 4>murky tales of similar trafficking rings and financial entrapment by

0:35:12.280 --> 0:35:17.080
<v Speaker 4>intelligence agencies. It was going nuts. But none of Epstein's

0:35:17.760 --> 0:35:22.320
<v Speaker 4>known proven associates other than Gallaine Maxwell, have been criminally

0:35:22.440 --> 0:35:25.360
<v Speaker 4>charged in the United States even now.

0:35:25.360 --> 0:35:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Well because at the through all of this until the

0:35:28.000 --> 0:35:31.160
<v Speaker 2>full release. There were so many rumors, right, and as

0:35:31.160 --> 0:35:36.920
<v Speaker 2>you said, been conspiracy theories, ideas, possibilities. Maybe possibly this

0:35:36.920 --> 0:35:39.560
<v Speaker 2>person was connected. I've heard rumors this person was connected.

0:35:39.760 --> 0:35:43.000
<v Speaker 2>But now we actually get them and still their reactions

0:35:43.200 --> 0:35:45.880
<v Speaker 2>on alleged perpetrators of this stuff.

0:35:46.000 --> 0:35:48.920
<v Speaker 5>What's the best way to discredit something true, It's to

0:35:49.040 --> 0:35:52.000
<v Speaker 5>mix it in with a bunch of crazy sounding stuff.

0:35:52.440 --> 0:35:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Dude, Yeah, exactly right.

0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:58.160
<v Speaker 5>I mean, no question, we'll get to the four channel

0:35:58.200 --> 0:36:02.200
<v Speaker 5>that now, maybe this was done intentionally from the jump.

0:36:02.640 --> 0:36:06.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Like Emily Dickinson once wrote, tell the truth, but

0:36:06.120 --> 0:36:09.640
<v Speaker 4>tell it slant right. Give people a little taste of

0:36:09.680 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 4>the truth, but make sure the solution is ninety eight

0:36:12.600 --> 0:36:20.239
<v Speaker 4>percent embellishment and bs. It's it's understandable that the lack

0:36:20.280 --> 0:36:24.359
<v Speaker 4>of prosecution six plus years after this guy's death has

0:36:24.480 --> 0:36:29.680
<v Speaker 4>given rise to outrage and conspiracy theories. It's logical to ask,

0:36:29.920 --> 0:36:35.759
<v Speaker 4>why do these powerful people go if not unpunished, uninvestigated,

0:36:35.920 --> 0:36:40.239
<v Speaker 4>And when the newest files released, those accusations of cover

0:36:40.360 --> 0:36:44.360
<v Speaker 4>up only grew. We go to folks like Deputy Attorney

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:49.520
<v Speaker 4>General Todd Blanche who said, yeah, he had the following

0:36:49.600 --> 0:36:52.239
<v Speaker 4>quote we're not going to play it, but we'll give

0:36:52.280 --> 0:36:56.160
<v Speaker 4>it to you. Quote. I can't talk about any investigations,

0:36:56.200 --> 0:36:58.800
<v Speaker 4>but I will say the following, which is that in July,

0:36:59.000 --> 0:37:01.760
<v Speaker 4>the Department of just This said that we had reviewed

0:37:01.760 --> 0:37:05.120
<v Speaker 4>the Epstein files and there was nothing in there that

0:37:05.200 --> 0:37:09.799
<v Speaker 4>allowed us to prosecute anybody. We then released over three

0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:12.680
<v Speaker 4>and a half million pieces of paper, which the entire

0:37:12.719 --> 0:37:15.319
<v Speaker 4>world can look at now and see if we got

0:37:15.320 --> 0:37:15.720
<v Speaker 4>it wrong.

0:37:16.000 --> 0:37:18.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, don't know about that. We can't look at much.

0:37:18.960 --> 0:37:25.120
<v Speaker 4>Right, we're officially saying we did everything, We looked at everything,

0:37:25.520 --> 0:37:29.320
<v Speaker 4>and everything is we can't prosecute anybody.

0:37:29.400 --> 0:37:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Isn't it funny because the US, justin de Bartman says

0:37:33.600 --> 0:37:36.279
<v Speaker 2>it's over, We've done it, We're all done. But then

0:37:36.440 --> 0:37:39.440
<v Speaker 2>let's say, I mean, if you're in another country and

0:37:39.480 --> 0:37:43.400
<v Speaker 2>you're aware of other things related to Jeffrey Epstein, like

0:37:43.440 --> 0:37:45.839
<v Speaker 2>in let's say France, and you're aware of a guy

0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:49.880
<v Speaker 2>named Jean Luke Brunel, maybe you set up your own

0:37:49.920 --> 0:37:55.680
<v Speaker 2>independent review to fully analyze and investigate what is available

0:37:55.719 --> 0:37:59.360
<v Speaker 2>in the Epstein files. So like this is real and

0:37:59.440 --> 0:38:03.520
<v Speaker 2>it is happening. France is setting up their own basically

0:38:03.640 --> 0:38:06.040
<v Speaker 2>special team of magistrates who are going to go through

0:38:06.200 --> 0:38:11.120
<v Speaker 2>and redig through this entire thing because they know. Among

0:38:11.239 --> 0:38:14.399
<v Speaker 2>people in France that were a part of this whole thing,

0:38:14.440 --> 0:38:18.080
<v Speaker 2>there was a guy named Jean Luke Brunell, who have

0:38:18.160 --> 0:38:19.600
<v Speaker 2>we talked about him at all?

0:38:19.960 --> 0:38:22.359
<v Speaker 5>I don't think so. To please tell me more about

0:38:22.360 --> 0:38:23.760
<v Speaker 5>what you know. This is not something that I've followed

0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:24.280
<v Speaker 5>that closely.

0:38:24.480 --> 0:38:27.319
<v Speaker 2>In twenty twenty, this guy named Jean Luke Brunell, who

0:38:27.480 --> 0:38:32.239
<v Speaker 2>was the former boss of a modeling agency, was accused of,

0:38:32.360 --> 0:38:36.920
<v Speaker 2>according to The Guardian, rape and suspicion of supplying underage

0:38:36.960 --> 0:38:41.319
<v Speaker 2>girls to Jeffrey Epstein. He's arrested in twenty twenty. In

0:38:41.440 --> 0:38:45.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty two, he was found dead hanging in his cell.

0:38:46.840 --> 0:38:50.799
<v Speaker 2>Seems pretty similar, seems pretty close to it that he

0:38:50.800 --> 0:38:55.080
<v Speaker 2>had been questioned about human trafficking. He led this basically

0:38:55.440 --> 0:38:59.320
<v Speaker 2>talent model agency for a long time and for years

0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:03.000
<v Speaker 2>in the ninth he was a model talent scout and

0:39:03.080 --> 0:39:05.880
<v Speaker 2>he was a boss of this thing called Karen Models

0:39:05.960 --> 0:39:09.840
<v Speaker 2>ka r I n or Karne Models. Maybe he was.

0:39:09.880 --> 0:39:14.279
<v Speaker 5>Had in public facing, like you know, business reason to exist, right,

0:39:14.320 --> 0:39:17.720
<v Speaker 5>We're talking fashion type stuff and photo shoots and various

0:39:17.719 --> 0:39:18.279
<v Speaker 5>things like that.

0:39:18.400 --> 0:39:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yes, it was a big deal. He discovered he is.

0:39:22.320 --> 0:39:27.080
<v Speaker 2>He is credited with discovering Christy Turlington and Mila Djoviovic.

0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:31.319
<v Speaker 2>He also met Glene Maxwell in the nineteen eighties and

0:39:31.360 --> 0:39:33.520
<v Speaker 2>that's when he was introduced to Epstein, which so you

0:39:33.560 --> 0:39:36.319
<v Speaker 2>can see if it goes back that far, right with

0:39:36.400 --> 0:39:40.880
<v Speaker 2>a French modeling agency guy who is potentially possibly supplying

0:39:40.960 --> 0:39:43.719
<v Speaker 2>underage girls to this guy, Jeffrey Epstein, and that's only

0:39:43.840 --> 0:39:46.880
<v Speaker 2>one of the people that's doing that. And then you

0:39:47.000 --> 0:39:50.320
<v Speaker 2>also start to hear rumors about what was this one Wasserman,

0:39:50.440 --> 0:39:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Casey Wasserman who had a talent agency called Wasserman that

0:39:54.280 --> 0:39:57.279
<v Speaker 2>now people are leaving in droves because he may or

0:39:57.280 --> 0:39:59.959
<v Speaker 2>may not have some kind of connection to the Epstein file.

0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:04.360
<v Speaker 5>Let's not forget about John Casablancas as well, Julian Casablancas

0:40:04.400 --> 0:40:09.000
<v Speaker 5>from the Strokes' father, who has huge modeling magnate and

0:40:09.640 --> 0:40:13.280
<v Speaker 5>very very buddy buddy with Epstein and named many times

0:40:13.440 --> 0:40:14.759
<v Speaker 5>and a lot of these accusations.

0:40:14.840 --> 0:40:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, maybe you're somebody that runs a beauty pageant, a massive,

0:40:19.880 --> 0:40:24.040
<v Speaker 2>popular beauty pageant that goes on television every year and

0:40:24.120 --> 0:40:29.319
<v Speaker 2>you're all over this person's life, doesn't it. It sucks

0:40:29.320 --> 0:40:31.040
<v Speaker 2>because you can't go out and say, like the thing

0:40:31.080 --> 0:40:33.880
<v Speaker 2>that you feel, you know, but damn, it feels like

0:40:34.440 --> 0:40:38.200
<v Speaker 2>there's a pretty close connection to those specific gentlemen and

0:40:38.200 --> 0:40:40.719
<v Speaker 2>the things that they were doing and their connections with

0:40:40.800 --> 0:40:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Jeffrey Epstein and another person who is currently leading the

0:40:45.600 --> 0:40:46.680
<v Speaker 2>United States of America.

0:40:46.880 --> 0:40:52.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, to this point, multiple other countries clearly don't trust

0:40:52.360 --> 0:40:58.160
<v Speaker 4>the DOJ's conclusions. That's why they're doing their own independent investigations,

0:40:58.239 --> 0:40:59.200
<v Speaker 4>which we applaud.

0:40:59.280 --> 0:41:01.360
<v Speaker 5>By the way, aren't there people over here calling for

0:41:01.400 --> 0:41:05.400
<v Speaker 5>a special master or like some kind of there, Yes,

0:41:05.880 --> 0:41:08.240
<v Speaker 5>the kind of what would what would be as similar

0:41:08.440 --> 0:41:10.520
<v Speaker 5>to an independent.

0:41:10.120 --> 0:41:13.000
<v Speaker 4>Review, and the House Oversight Committee, which we'll get to,

0:41:13.239 --> 0:41:18.680
<v Speaker 4>has made some strident statements as well. But obviously, again logically,

0:41:18.719 --> 0:41:21.120
<v Speaker 4>I keep going back to this. You learn about all

0:41:21.160 --> 0:41:25.600
<v Speaker 4>these all these horrific things, and you say, well, don't

0:41:25.640 --> 0:41:28.600
<v Speaker 4>we have rule of law? Shouldn't someone get in trouble

0:41:28.640 --> 0:41:33.120
<v Speaker 4>if they commit a crime. These released files contain specific

0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:41.200
<v Speaker 4>information about individuals, timelines, illegal activities, including accusations that two

0:41:41.320 --> 0:41:45.880
<v Speaker 4>women were murdered and buried on Epstein's orders, possibly more

0:41:45.960 --> 0:41:50.040
<v Speaker 4>so this is heavy, heavy stuff, and uh, there's there's

0:41:50.040 --> 0:41:53.000
<v Speaker 4>a great debate, a bit of a schism in mass

0:41:53.040 --> 0:41:59.799
<v Speaker 4>media right now about why these investigations indicated in the

0:41:59.800 --> 0:42:05.080
<v Speaker 4>files went on so long with so little action. The

0:42:05.120 --> 0:42:08.680
<v Speaker 4>New York Times had a piece a while back explaining

0:42:08.760 --> 0:42:14.600
<v Speaker 4>this as a series of miscommunications and drop like fumbles. Basically,

0:42:14.640 --> 0:42:17.960
<v Speaker 4>the people in government agencies who should have been talking

0:42:18.000 --> 0:42:21.160
<v Speaker 4>to each other were not talking to each other, or

0:42:22.480 --> 0:42:26.520
<v Speaker 4>survivors of abuse would contact the authorities and they would

0:42:26.560 --> 0:42:31.760
<v Speaker 4>be ignored, or someone would leave an anonymous tip, also ignored.

0:42:33.239 --> 0:42:35.840
<v Speaker 4>Drug agents investigated, they found nothing.

0:42:37.880 --> 0:42:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if people protecting each other because there's

0:42:41.080 --> 0:42:41.759
<v Speaker 2>dirt on them.

0:42:41.880 --> 0:42:45.399
<v Speaker 4>This is where I'm wondering. Is it really a lack

0:42:45.440 --> 0:42:49.719
<v Speaker 4>of justice due to miscommunication and discordination, or is it

0:42:50.200 --> 0:42:52.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, to your point there, Matt, is it something.

0:42:52.640 --> 0:42:53.520
<v Speaker 3>Bigger at play?

0:42:53.600 --> 0:42:56.520
<v Speaker 4>Is it people trying to cover up the truth and

0:42:56.640 --> 0:42:57.800
<v Speaker 4>protect their keysters.

0:42:58.480 --> 0:43:01.759
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I mean, that's it's opinion, But damn it, it

0:43:01.840 --> 0:43:05.160
<v Speaker 2>seems exactly like that. That's sure what it looks like.

0:43:05.360 --> 0:43:08.360
<v Speaker 4>It's sure what it looks like from here outside of

0:43:08.400 --> 0:43:08.880
<v Speaker 4>the cabul.

0:43:09.040 --> 0:43:11.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think to everybody, though, it's that's the thing, man,

0:43:11.920 --> 0:43:15.640
<v Speaker 2>It's so transparent at this point, it's like so obvious

0:43:16.200 --> 0:43:16.840
<v Speaker 2>what's going on.

0:43:17.160 --> 0:43:17.880
<v Speaker 3>It's cliche.

0:43:19.239 --> 0:43:24.560
<v Speaker 5>It's the most cliche version of evil men doing evil things.

0:43:24.520 --> 0:43:27.160
<v Speaker 3>And doing a real bad job covering it up. It's

0:43:27.280 --> 0:43:29.160
<v Speaker 3>just like, come up, give me.

0:43:29.200 --> 0:43:31.960
<v Speaker 2>A break, and what are we? What are we the

0:43:32.440 --> 0:43:35.720
<v Speaker 2>public of every country, every human being on the planet

0:43:35.760 --> 0:43:37.600
<v Speaker 2>that like is aware of it and just looks at

0:43:37.600 --> 0:43:39.440
<v Speaker 2>it and goes, oh, holy crap, what do we do?

0:43:39.960 --> 0:43:43.600
<v Speaker 2>How do you fight against those guys? Those guys are

0:43:43.920 --> 0:43:46.560
<v Speaker 2>the ones that are currently dropping bombs on Iran because

0:43:46.560 --> 0:43:48.440
<v Speaker 2>they don't want you to think about the Epstein files. No,

0:43:48.600 --> 0:43:50.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm just kidding. That's not why they're doing that. It's

0:43:50.680 --> 0:43:51.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of why they're doing it.

0:43:51.400 --> 0:43:53.960
<v Speaker 5>It's historically why things like that have been done. It's

0:43:54.040 --> 0:43:56.560
<v Speaker 5>to distract from bad poll numbers. It's to distract from

0:43:57.320 --> 0:43:59.120
<v Speaker 5>other scandals.

0:43:58.960 --> 0:43:59.839
<v Speaker 3>To wag the dog.

0:44:00.160 --> 0:44:03.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah yeah, and to interfere, obviously with midterm elections.

0:44:03.960 --> 0:44:07.279
<v Speaker 2>Let's not us that give reason to suspend that election.

0:44:07.480 --> 0:44:11.680
<v Speaker 4>Maybe an emergency of some sort. Now, we don't have

0:44:12.080 --> 0:44:15.640
<v Speaker 4>all the information from these investigations, but we do have

0:44:16.360 --> 0:44:21.279
<v Speaker 4>multiple bizarre events from the files bizarre interactions that have

0:44:21.480 --> 0:44:25.160
<v Speaker 4>been released, you know, like the recently revealed news. Also

0:44:25.440 --> 0:44:27.560
<v Speaker 4>a great article in the New York Times about this

0:44:28.040 --> 0:44:32.440
<v Speaker 4>that Epstein had that network of private doctors we mentioned earlier,

0:44:32.560 --> 0:44:38.880
<v Speaker 4>they tailored medical service to himself and to his victims.

0:44:38.920 --> 0:44:44.000
<v Speaker 4>So maybe we explore some of these activities people and

0:44:44.400 --> 0:44:54.280
<v Speaker 4>incidents mentioned. First off, a lot of the Epstein files

0:44:54.520 --> 0:44:57.759
<v Speaker 4>that you can read on the DOJ website or on

0:44:58.360 --> 0:45:03.360
<v Speaker 4>a couple of Epstein wikis searchable databases. A lot of

0:45:03.440 --> 0:45:05.440
<v Speaker 4>the stuff you're going to read is going to be

0:45:05.560 --> 0:45:10.200
<v Speaker 4>a ton of sometimes casual, sometimes cryptic chatter, like a

0:45:10.280 --> 0:45:13.520
<v Speaker 4>lot of brief emails back and forth, and then every

0:45:13.600 --> 0:45:17.080
<v Speaker 4>so often something you'll mention a torture video or a

0:45:17.280 --> 0:45:21.560
<v Speaker 4>harem right. And some of these things are inane, you know.

0:45:21.760 --> 0:45:23.799
<v Speaker 4>Some of them are as simple as like what are

0:45:23.840 --> 0:45:26.400
<v Speaker 4>you doing in December? You should come hang out at

0:45:26.440 --> 0:45:29.960
<v Speaker 4>the island. And then some seem to be dark inside

0:45:30.080 --> 0:45:33.400
<v Speaker 4>jokes or these veiled references that, depending on how we

0:45:33.520 --> 0:45:38.400
<v Speaker 4>interpret them, could be alluding to trafficking an abuse of miners.

0:45:38.560 --> 0:45:40.239
<v Speaker 4>It gets very murky, very.

0:45:40.239 --> 0:45:43.759
<v Speaker 2>Quickly when there's all the allegations of cannibalism as well,

0:45:43.880 --> 0:45:48.960
<v Speaker 2>which are just rumors, and you know people putting jerky, right,

0:45:49.080 --> 0:45:50.480
<v Speaker 2>we talked about jerky a little bit.

0:45:51.000 --> 0:45:52.919
<v Speaker 3>I know, I kind of just read a quick little

0:45:53.000 --> 0:45:53.719
<v Speaker 3>thing from Reddit.

0:45:53.880 --> 0:45:54.400
<v Speaker 2>This redditor.

0:45:54.400 --> 0:45:55.440
<v Speaker 3>I think that's just so smart.

0:45:55.880 --> 0:45:59.439
<v Speaker 5>So you release the information on Clinton, Gates, elon even

0:45:59.440 --> 0:46:01.800
<v Speaker 5>a bit on tru However, you ensure that the stuff

0:46:01.800 --> 0:46:04.600
<v Speaker 5>about Trump is either ambiguous due to redaction, or has

0:46:04.680 --> 0:46:07.359
<v Speaker 5>some sort of deniability built in. On further reflection, Since

0:46:07.360 --> 0:46:11.200
<v Speaker 5>your goal is distraction and you're deliberately choosing ambiguity and

0:46:11.280 --> 0:46:14.320
<v Speaker 5>inherent deniability, make sure anything about Trump appears to be

0:46:14.480 --> 0:46:18.160
<v Speaker 5>as salacious as possible for maximum impact. Anything that is

0:46:18.160 --> 0:46:21.919
<v Speaker 5>actually damaging to Trump or any truly important allies without

0:46:22.000 --> 0:46:24.440
<v Speaker 5>the requisite built in ambiguity or deniability goes into the

0:46:24.480 --> 0:46:27.360
<v Speaker 5>proverbial incinerator. The end goal is to release enough volume

0:46:27.560 --> 0:46:29.880
<v Speaker 5>that you and your supporter as concredibly as in other

0:46:29.960 --> 0:46:32.680
<v Speaker 5>people they would have been happy with zero pages. Claim

0:46:32.800 --> 0:46:35.800
<v Speaker 5>you complied and released all the documents, and ideally you

0:46:35.920 --> 0:46:38.960
<v Speaker 5>want it to look plausibly authentic from a content standpoint.

0:46:39.200 --> 0:46:41.880
<v Speaker 5>But once again, you're mixing in that stuff about cannibalism.

0:46:42.080 --> 0:46:44.799
<v Speaker 5>You're mixing in the most salacious stuff sometimes the most

0:46:44.840 --> 0:46:47.319
<v Speaker 5>salacious stuff is the stuff that is waved away because

0:46:47.360 --> 0:46:48.600
<v Speaker 5>it's too it's too crazy.

0:46:49.040 --> 0:46:49.719
<v Speaker 3>Cannibalism.

0:46:50.040 --> 0:46:52.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's outside of the overt window. It's a similar

0:46:53.040 --> 0:46:57.960
<v Speaker 4>strategy that some bad kids in grade school might remember

0:46:58.320 --> 0:47:01.000
<v Speaker 4>where you didn't want your parents to know you were

0:47:01.000 --> 0:47:03.080
<v Speaker 4>smoking weed, but you had to give them something, so

0:47:03.160 --> 0:47:05.759
<v Speaker 4>you left a cigarette butt on the patio. And now

0:47:05.920 --> 0:47:07.040
<v Speaker 4>that's the big story that.

0:47:07.080 --> 0:47:08.759
<v Speaker 5>Was from Reddit or del varies by the way. I

0:47:08.800 --> 0:47:10.360
<v Speaker 5>just wanted to want to take any credit for this

0:47:10.480 --> 0:47:12.440
<v Speaker 5>person's analysis I think is smart.

0:47:12.560 --> 0:47:14.920
<v Speaker 2>I never did that, Ben, I never did that. I

0:47:14.920 --> 0:47:15.960
<v Speaker 2>didn't know that was a thing to do.

0:47:16.320 --> 0:47:20.160
<v Speaker 4>Well, watch out the kids getting older every day. We

0:47:20.800 --> 0:47:23.600
<v Speaker 4>know that there have been a lot of independent Reddit

0:47:23.719 --> 0:47:29.480
<v Speaker 4>investigations or posted on Reddit because the public journalists are

0:47:30.120 --> 0:47:33.520
<v Speaker 4>doing the work that they feel a lot of mass

0:47:33.640 --> 0:47:36.200
<v Speaker 4>media is not. I want to go to a story

0:47:36.320 --> 0:47:40.680
<v Speaker 4>we mentioned briefly. I brought this up in our Strange

0:47:40.760 --> 0:47:43.319
<v Speaker 4>news program or a group chat maybe a while back.

0:47:45.040 --> 0:47:51.480
<v Speaker 4>Business Insider, a journalist named Jacob Shamseion revealed something fascinating

0:47:51.600 --> 0:47:55.520
<v Speaker 4>I think to all of us. The site four chan,

0:47:55.840 --> 0:47:59.800
<v Speaker 4>which don't visit on your work computer. It seemed to

0:48:00.280 --> 0:48:06.160
<v Speaker 4>have brought news of Jeffrey Epstein's official death thirty eight

0:48:06.280 --> 0:48:09.520
<v Speaker 4>minutes before the rest of the world knew about it.

0:48:09.880 --> 0:48:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Interesting.

0:48:10.680 --> 0:48:14.160
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's that's weird, right eight sixteen am August tenth,

0:48:14.280 --> 0:48:18.919
<v Speaker 4>twenty nineteen, anonymous four Chan user said, quote, don't ask

0:48:19.040 --> 0:48:21.439
<v Speaker 4>me how I know, but Epstein died an hour ago

0:48:21.600 --> 0:48:24.680
<v Speaker 4>from hanging cardiac arrest screencap.

0:48:24.920 --> 0:48:24.960
<v Speaker 2>This.

0:48:26.200 --> 0:48:29.759
<v Speaker 4>Before we take this as a reputable source, we do

0:48:29.920 --> 0:48:33.000
<v Speaker 4>have to tell everybody who is not familiar with the

0:48:33.080 --> 0:48:37.440
<v Speaker 4>dirty streets of the internet. Four Chan is a wild place.

0:48:38.120 --> 0:48:38.440
<v Speaker 2>It is.

0:48:40.880 --> 0:48:41.520
<v Speaker 3>Not ideal.

0:48:41.920 --> 0:48:46.640
<v Speaker 5>No, no, it's it's successful, it's it's problematic as hell.

0:48:47.640 --> 0:48:50.360
<v Speaker 3>And apparently there was a lot of.

0:48:50.440 --> 0:48:58.120
<v Speaker 5>Connection between prominent four chan folks and Gallaine Maxwell herself,

0:48:58.719 --> 0:49:01.920
<v Speaker 5>who was I believe buddy buddy.

0:49:01.880 --> 0:49:03.600
<v Speaker 3>With with some of these folks.

0:49:04.800 --> 0:49:07.120
<v Speaker 4>It was actually read it, Oh she's yeah, she was

0:49:07.160 --> 0:49:08.120
<v Speaker 4>an active Reddit user.

0:49:08.560 --> 0:49:09.880
<v Speaker 5>What I'm gonna go, what I'm getting at, is that

0:49:10.000 --> 0:49:13.120
<v Speaker 5>they that she may well have been responsible for creating

0:49:13.120 --> 0:49:15.239
<v Speaker 5>a lot of the q and on stuff, like on

0:49:15.360 --> 0:49:18.960
<v Speaker 5>purpose in order to flood the zone, like you were saying, Ben,

0:49:19.040 --> 0:49:21.240
<v Speaker 5>in order to like mix in some of that truth

0:49:21.360 --> 0:49:25.040
<v Speaker 5>with some stuff that's just absolutely outlandish, uh, and therefore

0:49:25.920 --> 0:49:29.600
<v Speaker 5>become the stuff of conspiracy theory rather than you know,

0:49:30.480 --> 0:49:32.520
<v Speaker 5>the because because to the point of what the previous

0:49:32.680 --> 0:49:35.320
<v Speaker 5>Reddit post that I was reading was saying is that

0:49:36.440 --> 0:49:37.919
<v Speaker 5>you got to have it have the ring of truth,

0:49:37.960 --> 0:49:39.480
<v Speaker 5>So you gotta have some wild stuff in there that

0:49:39.560 --> 0:49:41.120
<v Speaker 5>could be plausible. But then when you mix it in

0:49:41.600 --> 0:49:44.279
<v Speaker 5>with all of this like outlandish stuff like the q

0:49:44.440 --> 0:49:48.360
<v Speaker 5>Andon stuff and all of that Pizzagate, et cetera, it dish.

0:49:48.520 --> 0:49:49.920
<v Speaker 5>It kind of discredits all of it.

0:49:50.400 --> 0:49:55.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, which would be the end goal, right, because investigators

0:49:55.040 --> 0:49:57.280
<v Speaker 4>only have so much time, is the assumption.

0:49:57.600 --> 0:50:01.480
<v Speaker 5>But also public opinion, right, and public opinion is ever fickle.

0:50:02.160 --> 0:50:05.239
<v Speaker 4>It moves with the wind. We know that. In the

0:50:05.760 --> 0:50:10.840
<v Speaker 4>recently released tranch of Epstein files, we see the FBI

0:50:11.160 --> 0:50:14.759
<v Speaker 4>and the Department of Justice were aware of this four

0:50:14.920 --> 0:50:18.480
<v Speaker 4>chan post, and it's not just one post, it's a conversation.

0:50:19.000 --> 0:50:23.320
<v Speaker 4>They tried to identify the four chan user, but apparently

0:50:23.480 --> 0:50:26.960
<v Speaker 4>they had no luck. They reached out to AT and T,

0:50:27.320 --> 0:50:30.359
<v Speaker 4>the telecom provider in question, and AT and T said,

0:50:30.440 --> 0:50:33.080
<v Speaker 4>we can't comply because we don't keep those kind of

0:50:33.160 --> 0:50:37.200
<v Speaker 4>records on a day to day basis. They did find

0:50:37.560 --> 0:50:40.919
<v Speaker 4>the FBI and DOJ that this user, whomever this user

0:50:41.000 --> 0:50:45.680
<v Speaker 4>may be, did stick around to answer questions on this chat.

0:50:46.120 --> 0:50:52.000
<v Speaker 4>They seemed to know medical terminology, implying that maybe they

0:50:52.040 --> 0:50:55.320
<v Speaker 4>were a medical professional. They gave a blow by blow

0:50:55.440 --> 0:50:59.799
<v Speaker 4>on how authorities intubated Epstein, gave them fluids, moved them

0:50:59.800 --> 0:51:03.160
<v Speaker 4>to that er in Manhattan. And this is also where

0:51:03.960 --> 0:51:08.759
<v Speaker 4>we see one of the earliest conspiracies about Jeffrey Epstein's death.

0:51:09.520 --> 0:51:13.399
<v Speaker 4>It was a deleted post that was apparently recovered via

0:51:13.400 --> 0:51:17.799
<v Speaker 4>an FBI subpeda, and the user wrote, you guys, I'm

0:51:17.880 --> 0:51:20.920
<v Speaker 4>shaking right now, but I think they switched them out,

0:51:21.160 --> 0:51:26.280
<v Speaker 4>meaning this person was saying they think Epstein was taken

0:51:26.440 --> 0:51:32.879
<v Speaker 4>to this medical facility in Manhattan, declared dead, and then

0:51:33.120 --> 0:51:38.239
<v Speaker 4>his body was switched out with another body flooding the zone.

0:51:38.560 --> 0:51:41.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's exciting to think about. Feels like an

0:51:42.000 --> 0:51:44.759
<v Speaker 2>X Files episode, feels like something you know, you might

0:51:44.880 --> 0:51:49.040
<v Speaker 2>see on your television and maybe it really did happen.

0:51:49.160 --> 0:51:52.479
<v Speaker 2>Maybe somebody, you know, if you imagine in a large

0:51:52.520 --> 0:51:54.919
<v Speaker 2>hospital or something, or even in a prison system, somebody

0:51:54.960 --> 0:51:58.279
<v Speaker 2>who's manning the security system, who has access to all

0:51:58.320 --> 0:52:00.879
<v Speaker 2>the cameras, that Hey, they're all functioning right now when

0:52:00.920 --> 0:52:03.680
<v Speaker 2>everything goes down, but when there's an investigation, oh, only

0:52:03.719 --> 0:52:05.560
<v Speaker 2>two of the cameras work. It's I mean, you can

0:52:05.600 --> 0:52:08.120
<v Speaker 2>imagine somebody like that might actually be in that position

0:52:08.239 --> 0:52:10.439
<v Speaker 2>to see something and have their phone and be able

0:52:10.480 --> 0:52:12.799
<v Speaker 2>to just you know, make a quick anonymous post if

0:52:12.840 --> 0:52:15.680
<v Speaker 2>they feel safe. They think they're on a VPN that's

0:52:15.760 --> 0:52:19.320
<v Speaker 2>protecting them. They think they can anonymously post, you know,

0:52:19.400 --> 0:52:22.400
<v Speaker 2>on a four channel or Reddit. Maybe that's real. Maybe,

0:52:22.520 --> 0:52:24.840
<v Speaker 2>but in the end, there's no way. Right now, I

0:52:24.880 --> 0:52:27.319
<v Speaker 2>don't think there's any way to prove that at least

0:52:27.640 --> 0:52:28.120
<v Speaker 2>the exist.

0:52:28.640 --> 0:52:31.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so without extraordinary evidence.

0:52:31.760 --> 0:52:32.560
<v Speaker 2>You know exactly.

0:52:32.960 --> 0:52:34.320
<v Speaker 5>I was just gonna say before we move on, I

0:52:34.440 --> 0:52:36.960
<v Speaker 5>know we've been in this uh you know, branch of

0:52:37.040 --> 0:52:41.400
<v Speaker 5>it for a minute, but the prevalence of in the

0:52:41.480 --> 0:52:46.560
<v Speaker 5>Epstein files of the terms pizza and grape soda, uh,

0:52:46.960 --> 0:52:49.200
<v Speaker 5>and it just feels like that's the kind of stuff

0:52:49.200 --> 0:52:51.320
<v Speaker 5>that we were hearing about, you know, with QAnon, this

0:52:51.440 --> 0:52:54.879
<v Speaker 5>idea of pizzagate, and like it was obviously cast as

0:52:55.000 --> 0:52:57.759
<v Speaker 5>a more of a democratic issue, where it was this

0:52:57.960 --> 0:53:02.800
<v Speaker 5>democratic cabal of child molesters and Satanists and child murderers

0:53:02.840 --> 0:53:04.600
<v Speaker 5>and all this stuff and Hillary Clinton. It was all

0:53:04.680 --> 0:53:06.520
<v Speaker 5>kind of it seemed to be used to, you know,

0:53:07.400 --> 0:53:10.120
<v Speaker 5>politically damage her, and you know it worked to a

0:53:10.200 --> 0:53:13.719
<v Speaker 5>certain degree. But now we're seeing pizza coming up time

0:53:13.800 --> 0:53:16.959
<v Speaker 5>and time again, talking about having a pizza party. Really

0:53:17.080 --> 0:53:19.640
<v Speaker 5>enjoyed that pizza. Let's go for pizza and grape soda.

0:53:20.520 --> 0:53:24.240
<v Speaker 5>No one else can understand a redacted sender was writing

0:53:24.560 --> 0:53:28.799
<v Speaker 5>in some of these released files. It feels like all

0:53:28.840 --> 0:53:31.640
<v Speaker 5>of that stuff was kind of referring to Epstein all along.

0:53:31.840 --> 0:53:35.760
<v Speaker 4>Quite possibly. Yeah, I mean every accusation is a confession.

0:53:36.880 --> 0:53:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Or maybe there's more than one giant child trafficking cabal

0:53:40.920 --> 0:53:41.279
<v Speaker 2>out there.

0:53:42.440 --> 0:53:46.640
<v Speaker 4>Check out the Monster of Belgium, right, check out boystout right,

0:53:47.080 --> 0:53:50.359
<v Speaker 4>check out the Franklin abuse ring. Right, and see how

0:53:50.560 --> 0:53:55.080
<v Speaker 4>murky that stuff gets, and how few people actually went

0:53:55.239 --> 0:54:01.200
<v Speaker 4>down or got convicted, how few survivors saw justice. It

0:54:01.400 --> 0:54:04.759
<v Speaker 4>is quite possible that the world is more terrible than

0:54:04.840 --> 0:54:07.800
<v Speaker 4>people would like to imagine. I'm sorry, this bothers me.

0:54:08.080 --> 0:54:10.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh well, yeah, yeah, I think it's pretty bothersome.

0:54:13.840 --> 0:54:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about the money really quickly, because the one

0:54:16.440 --> 0:54:19.919
<v Speaker 2>thing you learn in investigations of any kind follow the money.

0:54:20.000 --> 0:54:22.400
<v Speaker 2>That's generally one of the one of the best ways

0:54:22.440 --> 0:54:27.320
<v Speaker 2>to discover new things. Something came out last year in October.

0:54:27.560 --> 0:54:31.000
<v Speaker 2>This is from The Guardian. A Senator Elizabeth Warren here

0:54:31.080 --> 0:54:34.640
<v Speaker 2>in the US was urging regulators to investigate a few

0:54:34.680 --> 0:54:39.640
<v Speaker 2>particular individuals in the banking sector because of transactions. Basically

0:54:39.680 --> 0:54:42.560
<v Speaker 2>the money that Jeffrey Epstein had access to and was

0:54:42.680 --> 0:54:45.799
<v Speaker 2>using and was investing and then would end up paying out,

0:54:46.160 --> 0:54:48.479
<v Speaker 2>you know, fifty thousand dollars here, three hundred and seventy

0:54:48.520 --> 0:54:50.640
<v Speaker 2>five thousand dollars. There are a couple of million over

0:54:50.680 --> 0:54:57.040
<v Speaker 2>here to different institutions as donations, just keeping money. Huge, huge,

0:54:57.440 --> 0:55:01.400
<v Speaker 2>to the tune of hundreds of thousand of dollars withdrawals

0:55:01.680 --> 0:55:05.880
<v Speaker 2>from different accounts from this one little piece from the Guardian,

0:55:06.239 --> 0:55:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Elizabeth Warren urges US regulators to investigate Jess Stanley ties

0:55:10.400 --> 0:55:14.560
<v Speaker 2>to Epstein. Just Stanley was a part of Barclay's Barclay's

0:55:15.000 --> 0:55:17.160
<v Speaker 2>I guess is how you would say it. He's a

0:55:17.239 --> 0:55:23.400
<v Speaker 2>former Barclay's boss, and there's really interesting information about the

0:55:23.560 --> 0:55:27.640
<v Speaker 2>money that Epstein was playing with. I'm gonna just read

0:55:27.719 --> 0:55:32.920
<v Speaker 2>this directly. This is from Mikaylina Markotov. During his fifteen

0:55:33.000 --> 0:55:36.400
<v Speaker 2>year relationship with JP Morgan, Epstein opened at least one

0:55:36.520 --> 0:55:41.040
<v Speaker 2>hundred and thirty four accounts, processed over one billion dollars

0:55:41.239 --> 0:55:45.800
<v Speaker 2>US in transactions, and brought in several other lucrative clients.

0:55:46.040 --> 0:55:49.080
<v Speaker 2>And JP Morgan has already paid two hundred and ninety

0:55:49.239 --> 0:55:53.239
<v Speaker 2>million dollars US in settlements to Epstein's victims, because that

0:55:53.440 --> 0:55:55.600
<v Speaker 2>is the money that was a part of controlling them

0:55:55.880 --> 0:56:00.800
<v Speaker 2>and trafficking them, right, so, but the but that's the

0:56:00.880 --> 0:56:04.600
<v Speaker 2>institution itself, So it ends up paying a huge fine

0:56:04.840 --> 0:56:07.840
<v Speaker 2>of two hundred ninety million dollars. The individuals who are

0:56:07.920 --> 0:56:11.719
<v Speaker 2>in charge of these banks at the time have not

0:56:11.880 --> 0:56:16.480
<v Speaker 2>seen any kind of pushback or blowback against them, besides

0:56:16.520 --> 0:56:19.520
<v Speaker 2>a couple of a couple of things. Because Staley did

0:56:19.960 --> 0:56:23.440
<v Speaker 2>have what he has a lifetime ban operating any kind

0:56:23.480 --> 0:56:26.239
<v Speaker 2>of banking system or working for any kind of banking

0:56:26.280 --> 0:56:28.560
<v Speaker 2>system in the UK, like he cannot work in the

0:56:28.680 --> 0:56:31.919
<v Speaker 2>UK financial sector because it was found that he lied

0:56:31.960 --> 0:56:36.000
<v Speaker 2>to authorities about his relationship with Epstein, because there was

0:56:36.040 --> 0:56:39.080
<v Speaker 2>a cash of over twelve hundred emails between him and

0:56:39.200 --> 0:56:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Epstein between the head of a bank and this man,

0:56:42.840 --> 0:56:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Jeffrey Epstein.

0:56:43.719 --> 0:56:47.480
<v Speaker 4>I'd want to also point out we mentioned the name

0:56:47.600 --> 0:56:52.719
<v Speaker 4>Ehud Barak look into him, folks. For a while, Wexner

0:56:52.760 --> 0:56:58.320
<v Speaker 4>and Epstein's financial relationship went through a series of proxies

0:56:58.320 --> 0:57:01.520
<v Speaker 4>and Matroshka dolls, and the trail went cold at Duiche

0:57:01.560 --> 0:57:05.279
<v Speaker 4>Bank and from there, if you follow that, and this

0:57:05.360 --> 0:57:07.560
<v Speaker 4>is what I want to do that second episode about

0:57:07.640 --> 0:57:14.480
<v Speaker 4>the intel allegations. From there, it goes to banks in Israel,

0:57:14.719 --> 0:57:19.320
<v Speaker 4>eventually three different categories of banking, and a lot of

0:57:19.400 --> 0:57:23.680
<v Speaker 4>that news is getting scrubbed from the internet as we speak.

0:57:24.160 --> 0:57:28.640
<v Speaker 4>So I think I would pose the possibility to all

0:57:28.680 --> 0:57:35.320
<v Speaker 4>of us tonight that the horrific sexual abuse is the

0:57:35.720 --> 0:57:39.360
<v Speaker 4>focus of the mainstream news, and we do wish justice

0:57:39.440 --> 0:57:43.320
<v Speaker 4>for the survivors, but I would positive goes much further

0:57:43.480 --> 0:57:47.120
<v Speaker 4>than that. I see that abuse and the trafficking and

0:57:47.240 --> 0:57:50.960
<v Speaker 4>the blackmail and extortion. I see that as one tool

0:57:51.480 --> 0:57:55.960
<v Speaker 4>in a larger toolkit to have leverage and influence over

0:57:56.200 --> 0:57:57.360
<v Speaker 4>very powerful people.

0:57:58.840 --> 0:58:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Ben, there's there's a security firm that Ahud was

0:58:02.240 --> 0:58:04.440
<v Speaker 2>a part of that we need to we need to

0:58:04.680 --> 0:58:08.680
<v Speaker 2>drill down into completely that appears to have connections to

0:58:08.920 --> 0:58:13.080
<v Speaker 2>this whole thing that has had it's been renamed several times,

0:58:13.160 --> 0:58:16.320
<v Speaker 2>which we know as we followed, like let's say private

0:58:16.400 --> 0:58:19.880
<v Speaker 2>contractors over the years who renamed themselves a dozen times.

0:58:20.840 --> 0:58:24.000
<v Speaker 2>It's usually for very specific reasons that they're trying to

0:58:24.720 --> 0:58:27.200
<v Speaker 2>save face or change you know, change course.

0:58:27.560 --> 0:58:30.720
<v Speaker 4>Skip the you know, get get the heat of public

0:58:30.800 --> 0:58:33.240
<v Speaker 4>attention off them for a little bit and wait for

0:58:33.520 --> 0:58:36.160
<v Speaker 4>the next thing. I mean, there's so much we're not

0:58:36.240 --> 0:58:38.840
<v Speaker 4>going to get to tonight. This feels like the beginning

0:58:39.080 --> 0:58:42.560
<v Speaker 4>of a longer journey. I think we can agree. We

0:58:42.800 --> 0:58:45.000
<v Speaker 4>know that Bill Gates.

0:58:45.400 --> 0:58:45.520
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

0:58:46.160 --> 0:58:50.960
<v Speaker 4>Bill Gates has rejected the claims from Jeffrey Epstein in

0:58:51.200 --> 0:58:55.960
<v Speaker 4>the files, where Jeffrey Epstein appears to indicate that Gates

0:58:56.120 --> 0:59:01.680
<v Speaker 4>caught an STI from a Russian victim, and that he

0:59:02.480 --> 0:59:07.360
<v Speaker 4>also asked Jeffrey Epstein how to, instead of telling his

0:59:07.480 --> 0:59:11.479
<v Speaker 4>wife that he contracted this SDI, how to secretly dose

0:59:11.560 --> 0:59:14.320
<v Speaker 4>her with antibiotics.

0:59:13.920 --> 0:59:19.240
<v Speaker 3>So that she didn't know, so that she never found out. Yeah,

0:59:19.240 --> 0:59:22.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean sealacious, Yes, does it have the ring of truth?

0:59:23.600 --> 0:59:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Maybe?

0:59:25.280 --> 0:59:27.800
<v Speaker 5>Really quickly, guys, I just wanted to I was searching

0:59:27.840 --> 0:59:29.440
<v Speaker 5>for this earlier and I was sort of fumbling my

0:59:29.480 --> 0:59:31.520
<v Speaker 5>way through it, but I did find it is contained

0:59:31.520 --> 0:59:35.240
<v Speaker 5>in the Epstein files that Jeffrey Epstein was acquainted with

0:59:35.400 --> 0:59:40.040
<v Speaker 5>Christopher Poole, the founder of four chan, who goes by

0:59:40.160 --> 0:59:43.920
<v Speaker 5>the handle Moot. They were introduced, in fact by a

0:59:43.960 --> 0:59:47.280
<v Speaker 5>guy named Boris Nikolik, who was a biotech guy, a

0:59:47.360 --> 0:59:50.240
<v Speaker 5>money guy, and also a doctor and a former advisor

0:59:50.320 --> 0:59:54.360
<v Speaker 5>to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, saying that that

0:59:54.640 --> 0:59:57.240
<v Speaker 5>Epstein needed to meet this cool kid, one of the

0:59:57.280 --> 1:00:00.960
<v Speaker 5>greatest hackers and a real sensitive guy. Epstein said that

1:00:01.040 --> 1:00:03.600
<v Speaker 5>he liked him. They had a nice hang, and then

1:00:03.640 --> 1:00:06.080
<v Speaker 5>of course it was a board on four chan where

1:00:06.200 --> 1:00:11.520
<v Speaker 5>Pizzagate began, and then pole that's correct, and there's an

1:00:11.560 --> 1:00:15.160
<v Speaker 5>excellent Vanity Fair piece by Clara Malow or Malot that

1:00:15.240 --> 1:00:17.560
<v Speaker 5>I'm pulling from here, and she points out there is

1:00:17.680 --> 1:00:21.200
<v Speaker 5>no evidence that Epstein influenced the creation of that board

1:00:21.400 --> 1:00:23.160
<v Speaker 5>or that he had any direct hand in any of

1:00:23.240 --> 1:00:26.920
<v Speaker 5>this stuff, but the timing's weird, and they definitely knew

1:00:26.960 --> 1:00:30.400
<v Speaker 5>each other. And also Julane Maxwell is thought to have

1:00:30.560 --> 1:00:35.600
<v Speaker 5>been a power user on Reddit and potentially carrying over

1:00:35.680 --> 1:00:38.480
<v Speaker 5>some of those things from the four Chance sphere into

1:00:38.520 --> 1:00:40.760
<v Speaker 5>the Reddit sphere, which is a little bit more mainstream.

1:00:41.000 --> 1:00:43.800
<v Speaker 4>Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

1:00:43.840 --> 1:00:45.800
<v Speaker 3>No, I know, I just think it's wild. I think

1:00:45.840 --> 1:00:46.320
<v Speaker 3>it's right.

1:00:46.560 --> 1:00:48.200
<v Speaker 4>I agree with you there, and I think a lot

1:00:48.240 --> 1:00:51.640
<v Speaker 4>of us do. I mean, we know. Look, we know

1:00:51.840 --> 1:00:56.640
<v Speaker 4>that victim statements or I prefer the term survivors statements

1:00:57.320 --> 1:01:04.240
<v Speaker 4>tell us that these people are are not satisfied with

1:01:04.640 --> 1:01:10.200
<v Speaker 4>the DOJ's conclusions. They're describing the release and the way

1:01:10.280 --> 1:01:12.800
<v Speaker 4>the government handles it as a slap in the face

1:01:13.040 --> 1:01:16.680
<v Speaker 4>and outrageous because, as we noted, I've been having a

1:01:16.720 --> 1:01:20.640
<v Speaker 4>hard time with it, it's such a dumb mistake to

1:01:20.800 --> 1:01:25.560
<v Speaker 4>make unredaction that easy. I wonder if they were purposely

1:01:26.120 --> 1:01:30.040
<v Speaker 4>dog whistling to say, hey, docs, these people like I.

1:01:31.200 --> 1:01:34.680
<v Speaker 4>The odds seems stacked against the survivors. We talked about

1:01:34.720 --> 1:01:40.040
<v Speaker 4>the Lolita book, We talked about the idea of you know,

1:01:40.160 --> 1:01:44.080
<v Speaker 4>the graphic depictions of violence on the part of the

1:01:44.280 --> 1:01:49.560
<v Speaker 4>current United States president. The DOJ says, we're in compliance

1:01:49.640 --> 1:01:52.520
<v Speaker 4>with the Transparency Act. We're not trying to protect anyone.

1:01:53.040 --> 1:01:56.560
<v Speaker 4>There is no cover up. Don't believe the evidence. We

1:01:56.680 --> 1:02:01.000
<v Speaker 4>have no plans to release any further information, and that's

1:02:01.040 --> 1:02:04.520
<v Speaker 4>where we see the government disagreeing with itself through Congress.

1:02:04.760 --> 1:02:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Ben you shared with us something that was was showing

1:02:08.800 --> 1:02:13.320
<v Speaker 2>how the administration did like remove some specific things right

1:02:13.360 --> 1:02:14.360
<v Speaker 2>that were related.

1:02:14.040 --> 1:02:18.000
<v Speaker 5>To pages Yeah, yeah, p stages that were out of sequence.

1:02:18.040 --> 1:02:20.720
<v Speaker 5>So there was gaps that would have been contained in

1:02:20.800 --> 1:02:24.000
<v Speaker 5>the official release, but they seem to have not redacted

1:02:24.120 --> 1:02:25.400
<v Speaker 5>but just completely omitted.

1:02:25.840 --> 1:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1:02:26.360 --> 1:02:30.400
<v Speaker 4>That comes to us thanks to Stephen Fowler for an

1:02:30.680 --> 1:02:37.480
<v Speaker 4>MPR exclusive investigation where they found that, despite their earlier statements,

1:02:37.760 --> 1:02:41.960
<v Speaker 4>the Justice Department of the United States has been proven

1:02:42.400 --> 1:02:46.920
<v Speaker 4>to have withheld Epstein files related to allegations that the

1:02:47.040 --> 1:02:52.520
<v Speaker 4>current US president sexually abused a minor, and folks like

1:02:52.880 --> 1:02:57.680
<v Speaker 4>Robert Garcia from the House Oversight Committee reviewed unredacted evidence

1:02:57.800 --> 1:03:03.560
<v Speaker 4>logs and said, yeah, the DOJ is doing a cover up.

1:03:04.000 --> 1:03:08.360
<v Speaker 4>There were files that got scrubbed from public view about

1:03:09.720 --> 1:03:14.960
<v Speaker 4>multiple people who were key witnesses in prosecution. Right now,

1:03:15.280 --> 1:03:18.800
<v Speaker 4>what the House Oversite Committee is saying, and what the

1:03:18.960 --> 1:03:25.360
<v Speaker 4>MPR investigation concludes is that someone at the DOJ is

1:03:26.920 --> 1:03:30.880
<v Speaker 4>trying their damnedest to keep the president out of this

1:03:31.280 --> 1:03:32.560
<v Speaker 4>protect number one like.

1:03:32.640 --> 1:03:34.920
<v Speaker 2>You, like you were saying, Matt, I want I want

1:03:34.920 --> 1:03:37.080
<v Speaker 2>to add something in here because it's not it's it's

1:03:37.240 --> 1:03:39.600
<v Speaker 2>part of the administration, but it's not the president. Right.

1:03:39.920 --> 1:03:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Current Department of Defense Deputy secretary a guy named Steve

1:03:44.240 --> 1:03:49.360
<v Speaker 2>and Andrew Feinberg. He once ran and founded this thing

1:03:49.480 --> 1:03:55.240
<v Speaker 2>called Cerberus Capital Management. And there's a great piece from

1:03:55.320 --> 1:03:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Project on Government Oversite that you can find from February

1:03:58.200 --> 1:04:04.640
<v Speaker 2>sixth that detail how involved Cerberus Capital Management, a private

1:04:04.680 --> 1:04:08.880
<v Speaker 2>equity firm, was with Jeffrey Epstein's finances from two thousand

1:04:08.880 --> 1:04:15.120
<v Speaker 2>and nine to twenty thirteen, just how close they were connected.

1:04:15.200 --> 1:04:17.920
<v Speaker 2>And then listen to this The Epstein Files is from

1:04:17.960 --> 1:04:20.560
<v Speaker 2>the article. The Epstein files also include emails about Cerberus

1:04:20.600 --> 1:04:23.040
<v Speaker 2>sent by higher ups from Deutsche Bank, which you had

1:04:23.120 --> 1:04:26.080
<v Speaker 2>mentioned ben as being a part of this thing they managed.

1:04:26.120 --> 1:04:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Deutsche Bank are the people that managed Epstein's investments from

1:04:29.040 --> 1:04:32.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty thirteen to twenty eighteen. They played an essential role

1:04:33.120 --> 1:04:35.840
<v Speaker 2>in his trafficking scheme because that's where he got his

1:04:35.920 --> 1:04:38.840
<v Speaker 2>money and how he moved it around. And the Deutsche

1:04:38.920 --> 1:04:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Bank employees identified Cerberus as a high risk account in

1:04:44.560 --> 1:04:48.880
<v Speaker 2>an email that exists within those files. But then it

1:04:48.960 --> 1:04:51.960
<v Speaker 2>all it's just interesting how becomes a web of connections

1:04:52.040 --> 1:04:54.720
<v Speaker 2>tied back to each other, and that there is a

1:04:54.840 --> 1:04:59.320
<v Speaker 2>human being that is not provably but potentially tied to

1:04:59.440 --> 1:05:03.080
<v Speaker 2>this whole Ski who is now the Deputy Secretary of

1:05:03.200 --> 1:05:04.640
<v Speaker 2>the Department of Defense.

1:05:05.400 --> 1:05:08.760
<v Speaker 4>And tying back again, you know, to want to be

1:05:08.840 --> 1:05:11.000
<v Speaker 4>careful with this, but tied back again to the current

1:05:11.120 --> 1:05:14.680
<v Speaker 4>president of the United States as well as past presidents.

1:05:14.800 --> 1:05:19.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean he was appointed right, right, Yeah, these are

1:05:19.280 --> 1:05:21.320
<v Speaker 4>not the part of government you get to vote for,

1:05:21.680 --> 1:05:27.280
<v Speaker 4>even in a democracy. So other files are Some were

1:05:27.480 --> 1:05:31.240
<v Speaker 4>briefly taken down and the Internet went crazy, and they

1:05:31.280 --> 1:05:34.640
<v Speaker 4>got put back up online in some form, and the

1:05:34.800 --> 1:05:39.560
<v Speaker 4>DOJ replied, oh, our website was overloaded. So again nothing

1:05:39.680 --> 1:05:42.320
<v Speaker 4>to see here, no attempt at conspiracy.

1:05:42.440 --> 1:05:43.880
<v Speaker 3>But it doesn't look.

1:05:43.960 --> 1:05:46.720
<v Speaker 4>Great and I'm still I think we all are still

1:05:46.840 --> 1:05:51.520
<v Speaker 4>pretty offended. When the White House was asked about this,

1:05:51.800 --> 1:05:55.880
<v Speaker 4>and a White House spokesperson said, look, the current president

1:05:56.120 --> 1:05:59.720
<v Speaker 4>has done more for Epstein's victims than anyone before him.

1:06:00.000 --> 1:06:02.479
<v Speaker 3>It's just not true. It's just not even remotely true.

1:06:02.960 --> 1:06:04.680
<v Speaker 5>I mean, at the we haven't even talked about the

1:06:04.720 --> 1:06:08.800
<v Speaker 5>Pam BONDI hearing right, the Holy crowd, I mean, good lord,

1:06:08.880 --> 1:06:13.280
<v Speaker 5>what a show just I'm sorry, a politically speaking exactly

1:06:13.520 --> 1:06:17.160
<v Speaker 5>an utter embarrassment of a human person just looking like

1:06:17.240 --> 1:06:20.160
<v Speaker 5>a looney tune. I mean, who has everything to hide?

1:06:20.160 --> 1:06:22.800
<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry, it's just it if it's yeh, quacks like

1:06:22.840 --> 1:06:23.160
<v Speaker 5>a duck.

1:06:23.840 --> 1:06:27.400
<v Speaker 4>But we love of we just want clowns in their place.

1:06:27.560 --> 1:06:30.840
<v Speaker 5>Nose this notion of these victims that were in attendance,

1:06:31.800 --> 1:06:33.800
<v Speaker 5>all of them raising their hands as having never been

1:06:33.840 --> 1:06:37.480
<v Speaker 5>contacted by the DOJ, never been contacted by the FBI,

1:06:37.480 --> 1:06:40.800
<v Speaker 5>I never given the opportunity to tell their story, to

1:06:41.000 --> 1:06:45.480
<v Speaker 5>give their you know, testimony, and all of them saying yes, please,

1:06:45.760 --> 1:06:47.960
<v Speaker 5>we want to they just don't want to hear it.

1:06:48.160 --> 1:06:50.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry, there's no bit literally turned around to not

1:06:50.920 --> 1:06:51.400
<v Speaker 4>look at them.

1:06:51.680 --> 1:06:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes, there's one important thing that is the the the

1:06:55.800 --> 1:06:58.480
<v Speaker 2>political pushback on that kind of thing, if it's if

1:06:58.560 --> 1:07:01.080
<v Speaker 2>that argument is taken as a political stance, and the

1:07:01.160 --> 1:07:03.160
<v Speaker 2>pushback is these aren't the first people who run the

1:07:03.240 --> 1:07:06.320
<v Speaker 2>FBI or the Department of Justice, and this Epstein dude

1:07:06.320 --> 1:07:08.320
<v Speaker 2>has been around for a long time. Wise we talked

1:07:08.320 --> 1:07:10.040
<v Speaker 2>about at the top of the show, right, but that

1:07:10.240 --> 1:07:12.400
<v Speaker 2>is definitely one of the first things. And it is

1:07:12.520 --> 1:07:14.920
<v Speaker 2>because there are so many people who have stuff to

1:07:15.040 --> 1:07:19.000
<v Speaker 2>hide and have controllable assets that are within some of

1:07:19.080 --> 1:07:22.480
<v Speaker 2>these files. There's dirt on folks who get to those

1:07:22.600 --> 1:07:25.560
<v Speaker 2>levels we've talked about before on the show. Right. Once

1:07:25.640 --> 1:07:28.560
<v Speaker 2>you get to some of these levels, you are actively

1:07:28.680 --> 1:07:31.320
<v Speaker 2>sought after by certain powers and that is not a

1:07:31.400 --> 1:07:32.360
<v Speaker 2>conspiratorial thing.

1:07:32.480 --> 1:07:34.240
<v Speaker 3>And you're part of the system, whether you like it

1:07:34.400 --> 1:07:34.520
<v Speaker 3>or not.

1:07:35.120 --> 1:07:38.160
<v Speaker 5>You're interconnected with even the people who you might not

1:07:38.360 --> 1:07:41.160
<v Speaker 5>on paper or in the public eye be aligned with,

1:07:41.800 --> 1:07:42.280
<v Speaker 5>and you have.

1:07:42.480 --> 1:07:46.040
<v Speaker 4>To there's also an argument this is true in some echelons.

1:07:46.280 --> 1:07:48.680
<v Speaker 4>There's an argument to even reach that level in the

1:07:48.760 --> 1:07:53.320
<v Speaker 4>first place, you have to be compromised, right, Like you know,

1:07:53.960 --> 1:07:56.840
<v Speaker 4>we could quote whatever Black Mirror episodes we want. But

1:07:57.520 --> 1:07:59.960
<v Speaker 4>part of being in the Skull and Bones for instance,

1:08:00.240 --> 1:08:06.400
<v Speaker 4>part of right, part of being in some selective societies

1:08:06.520 --> 1:08:09.120
<v Speaker 4>I won't say secret, I'll play nice, but part of

1:08:09.280 --> 1:08:14.600
<v Speaker 4>that is for you to give compromising information on yourself

1:08:15.040 --> 1:08:20.160
<v Speaker 4>which establishes you as a trustworthy entity.

1:08:20.400 --> 1:08:22.639
<v Speaker 3>That's crime talk, man. That's what happens when.

1:08:22.520 --> 1:08:25.880
<v Speaker 5>You're in I'm sure destruction if that is what it is,

1:08:26.080 --> 1:08:28.320
<v Speaker 5>and in a gang initiation that you have to kill somebody,

1:08:28.560 --> 1:08:30.120
<v Speaker 5>you got to do a thing so they know they

1:08:30.200 --> 1:08:32.320
<v Speaker 5>have this thing on you, and then you're not allowed

1:08:32.320 --> 1:08:34.680
<v Speaker 5>to leave the gang or the mafia or whatever it

1:08:34.760 --> 1:08:34.960
<v Speaker 5>might be.

1:08:36.560 --> 1:08:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, thank you, Yes, we know all this stuff. And

1:08:39.960 --> 1:08:44.280
<v Speaker 2>it makes me think about our early early discussions of

1:08:44.400 --> 1:08:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Dave Chappelle and the offer that he got and then

1:08:47.000 --> 1:08:50.280
<v Speaker 2>why he left the country went to Africa, right, because

1:08:50.320 --> 1:08:54.320
<v Speaker 2>when you get offered millions and millions of dollars, tens

1:08:54.360 --> 1:08:58.559
<v Speaker 2>of millions of dollars, there's usually something some extra comes

1:08:58.640 --> 1:09:00.519
<v Speaker 2>with that deal. Those are the rumors, that's what we've heard.

1:09:00.960 --> 1:09:02.080
<v Speaker 2>I've never been in that position.

1:09:02.439 --> 1:09:06.600
<v Speaker 4>Do you want to be prime minister? We've gotta we

1:09:06.720 --> 1:09:08.439
<v Speaker 4>gotta get you on film doing this thing.

1:09:08.560 --> 1:09:10.559
<v Speaker 3>We're gonna need you to eat this baby. I'm sorry.

1:09:10.640 --> 1:09:12.800
<v Speaker 3>I know that's but that's being discussed as well.

1:09:12.840 --> 1:09:13.080
<v Speaker 5>I'm not.

1:09:13.240 --> 1:09:17.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know out there, it makes me wonder

1:09:17.120 --> 1:09:19.519
<v Speaker 2>about that whole hide the truth within a mass of

1:09:19.680 --> 1:09:23.000
<v Speaker 2>other things. Right, I think back to the very first

1:09:23.320 --> 1:09:25.759
<v Speaker 2>I think it's the pilot episode of Black Mirror.

1:09:26.160 --> 1:09:29.479
<v Speaker 4>You remember this, right, Yeah, the way to the be

1:09:29.680 --> 1:09:30.360
<v Speaker 4>prime minister.

1:09:31.000 --> 1:09:34.840
<v Speaker 3>We is forced to check it out there There is.

1:09:35.120 --> 1:09:38.160
<v Speaker 4>A unfortunately, there is a pork chop of truth to it.

1:09:39.200 --> 1:09:42.000
<v Speaker 4>I will say, yeah, we don't want to spoil it

1:09:42.080 --> 1:09:44.719
<v Speaker 4>too much, but we do want you to know. Files

1:09:44.800 --> 1:09:48.240
<v Speaker 4>are still being hidden despite the Transparency Act that we

1:09:48.400 --> 1:09:51.639
<v Speaker 4>mentioned at the top. We're talking more than fifty pages

1:09:51.720 --> 1:09:56.280
<v Speaker 4>of FBI interviews, notes from conversations with a woman who

1:09:56.400 --> 1:10:01.599
<v Speaker 4>accused the current president of sexual abuse decades ago, back

1:10:01.640 --> 1:10:04.839
<v Speaker 4>in nineteen eighty three, when she herself was a minor.

1:10:05.479 --> 1:10:07.400
<v Speaker 4>You can find more of that. We're not going to

1:10:08.560 --> 1:10:12.879
<v Speaker 4>we don't want to re traumatize any survivors of abuse,

1:10:13.040 --> 1:10:16.960
<v Speaker 4>but we do need you to know again, even if

1:10:17.000 --> 1:10:20.000
<v Speaker 4>you are skeptical, even if you are as objective as possible.

1:10:20.400 --> 1:10:23.280
<v Speaker 4>But Dylan beat me here. This is so fed up.

1:10:23.960 --> 1:10:27.479
<v Speaker 4>This is not a real investigation, no dude.

1:10:28.800 --> 1:10:30.639
<v Speaker 2>But you know what I would say, It is nice

1:10:30.720 --> 1:10:34.400
<v Speaker 2>to see people who are connected up to this thing

1:10:34.880 --> 1:10:37.680
<v Speaker 2>losing their positions and their jobs in other parts of

1:10:37.720 --> 1:10:39.919
<v Speaker 2>the world. We talked about in our Strange News episode

1:10:39.960 --> 1:10:42.479
<v Speaker 2>A little bit Someday. Came out pretty recently on the

1:10:42.520 --> 1:10:47.360
<v Speaker 2>twenty sixth, was that the head of the World Economic Forum,

1:10:48.360 --> 1:10:52.720
<v Speaker 2>the CEO of the World Economic Forum, those folks that

1:10:52.880 --> 1:10:56.280
<v Speaker 2>do that thing, what's it called guys at the World

1:10:56.320 --> 1:11:00.519
<v Speaker 2>Economic Forum, that big party, they all have Davosh that

1:11:00.680 --> 1:11:04.800
<v Speaker 2>guy he resigned after review, after a review into his

1:11:05.000 --> 1:11:06.679
<v Speaker 2>links to Jeffrey Epstein.

1:11:07.040 --> 1:11:11.640
<v Speaker 4>You get a chance to resign or exactly the other consequences.

1:11:12.120 --> 1:11:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Just remember when you see that news when somebody resigns

1:11:16.320 --> 1:11:19.839
<v Speaker 2>or loses their position at a prestigious college or something,

1:11:20.360 --> 1:11:21.879
<v Speaker 2>that is not really punishment.

1:11:22.439 --> 1:11:26.559
<v Speaker 4>They're not going to jail. They're going to a chalet,

1:11:27.080 --> 1:11:31.920
<v Speaker 4>right to a life of luxurious obscurity and perhaps quietly

1:11:32.080 --> 1:11:36.680
<v Speaker 4>publish a memoir later. Right, Yeah, people are giving away.

1:11:36.680 --> 1:11:38.960
<v Speaker 4>There's so much to unpack here, folks, we didn't need.

1:11:39.160 --> 1:11:41.439
<v Speaker 4>We are gonna have to do an entire episode on

1:11:41.560 --> 1:11:45.439
<v Speaker 4>Raphael or Zoro ranch over in New Mexico.

1:11:45.760 --> 1:11:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh god, yes, yeah, we have to.

1:11:47.840 --> 1:11:51.559
<v Speaker 4>And we have to look into again a deep dive

1:11:51.960 --> 1:11:56.360
<v Speaker 4>into Epstein's possible ties with intelligence agencies. We'll have to

1:11:56.400 --> 1:11:57.519
<v Speaker 4>be careful with that one.

1:11:58.360 --> 1:12:00.400
<v Speaker 5>I think we just lay it out, dude, I agree,

1:12:00.560 --> 1:12:04.799
<v Speaker 5>I agree, and guys, but on early in early January,

1:12:05.280 --> 1:12:07.000
<v Speaker 5>I was seeing a lot of articles about saying how

1:12:07.040 --> 1:12:09.560
<v Speaker 5>only about one percent of the total the totality of

1:12:09.600 --> 1:12:11.640
<v Speaker 5>the Epstein files have been released. But then there was

1:12:11.680 --> 1:12:16.360
<v Speaker 5>that massive drop, and now I'm seeing some other sources,

1:12:16.680 --> 1:12:19.800
<v Speaker 5>largely led by the DOJ themselves, saying that they have

1:12:19.920 --> 1:12:22.200
<v Speaker 5>released one hundred percent and that they are.

1:12:22.160 --> 1:12:25.559
<v Speaker 3>In full compliance with the law. Okay, is that just smoke?

1:12:25.800 --> 1:12:27.360
<v Speaker 3>I feel like it is. I feel like that's not

1:12:27.600 --> 1:12:29.000
<v Speaker 3>That's certainly not the case.

1:12:29.400 --> 1:12:32.400
<v Speaker 4>You are absolutely correct, my friend, that is certainly not

1:12:32.560 --> 1:12:36.479
<v Speaker 4>the case. There's some tricky legalese there. When they're saying

1:12:36.520 --> 1:12:39.479
<v Speaker 4>we've released one hundred percent of it, they're saying we've

1:12:39.560 --> 1:12:42.640
<v Speaker 4>released one hundred percent of what we think is in

1:12:42.800 --> 1:12:46.519
<v Speaker 4>compliance with the Epstein Transparency Act of twenty twenty five.

1:12:47.280 --> 1:12:51.520
<v Speaker 4>They say that they're not releasing stuff they find redundant

1:12:52.479 --> 1:12:55.439
<v Speaker 4>or irrelevant or a if.

1:12:55.400 --> 1:12:56.559
<v Speaker 3>That's up to them to determine.

1:12:56.760 --> 1:12:59.360
<v Speaker 5>They're curriating it like themselves their opinion.

1:12:59.600 --> 1:13:03.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a non idea.

1:13:04.520 --> 1:13:06.479
<v Speaker 2>Before we wrap, ban can I shout out two sources

1:13:06.640 --> 1:13:08.519
<v Speaker 2>just for people to look up, and then we'll just

1:13:10.000 --> 1:13:13.719
<v Speaker 2>move forward. Here we mentioned that it appears the Justice

1:13:13.720 --> 1:13:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Department is specifically withholding files related to the current potus.

1:13:18.240 --> 1:13:22.000
<v Speaker 2>If you go to NPR February twenty fourth, twenty twenty six,

1:13:22.560 --> 1:13:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Justice Apartment withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump.

1:13:26.040 --> 1:13:29.440
<v Speaker 2>It just lays out the allegations. There are the specifics

1:13:29.800 --> 1:13:31.280
<v Speaker 2>of those claims, and that.

1:13:31.439 --> 1:13:33.839
<v Speaker 4>Again is Steve Fowler. That's your journalist.

1:13:34.080 --> 1:13:36.719
<v Speaker 2>Yes, And if you head over to the New York Times,

1:13:37.040 --> 1:13:39.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna name the writers there you can look

1:13:39.360 --> 1:13:41.800
<v Speaker 2>at there are three of them for this one. But

1:13:42.360 --> 1:13:45.559
<v Speaker 2>the title is elite doctors served Jeffrey Epstein while treating

1:13:45.640 --> 1:13:49.120
<v Speaker 2>his quote girls. This is from February twenty eighth, and

1:13:49.280 --> 1:13:52.360
<v Speaker 2>it just outlines the connections there are between a lot

1:13:52.439 --> 1:13:57.800
<v Speaker 2>of doctors, specifically Mount Sinai and doctor Ava Dubin, and

1:13:57.920 --> 1:14:00.439
<v Speaker 2>then her connection to a bunch of other people, including

1:14:01.280 --> 1:14:04.560
<v Speaker 2>a separate one in Palm Beach named doctor Bruce Moskovitz,

1:14:04.920 --> 1:14:07.120
<v Speaker 2>which there's just a whole bunch of information in there.

1:14:07.520 --> 1:14:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1:14:07.920 --> 1:14:11.080
<v Speaker 4>You'll also see phrases in the Epstein files like an

1:14:11.120 --> 1:14:15.559
<v Speaker 4>associate of his at mar A Lago nearby. What next?

1:14:15.800 --> 1:14:18.880
<v Speaker 4>That's the billion dollar question. We stated way back in

1:14:18.960 --> 1:14:24.400
<v Speaker 4>twenty nineteen. Anyone who has participated in this kind of

1:14:24.640 --> 1:14:28.719
<v Speaker 4>stuff should be identified, investigated, and if warranted, they should

1:14:28.720 --> 1:14:32.160
<v Speaker 4>be fully prosecuted. Under the rule of law. No one

1:14:32.200 --> 1:14:35.719
<v Speaker 4>should be indemnified. No one should be immune. It's happening

1:14:35.800 --> 1:14:39.280
<v Speaker 4>in other countries, but here in the US it's not happening,

1:14:39.720 --> 1:14:42.320
<v Speaker 4>and for now that seems to be the stuff they

1:14:42.400 --> 1:14:45.160
<v Speaker 4>don't want you to know. Last note, if you or

1:14:45.360 --> 1:14:48.520

1:14:48.920 --> 1:14:52.200

<v Speaker 5>are are being human traffic may not even know that's

1:15:12.040 --> 1:15:16.320
