1 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: Hey, that folks. 2 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 2: It is Thursday, February nineteenth, and the royal formerly known 3 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,319 Speaker 2: as Prince Andrew has been arrested. With that Welcome to 4 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 2: this breaking news episode of Amy and TJ. 5 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: Robes. 6 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 2: This news is just coming to us just as we 7 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 2: were about to hit the record butting on something else 8 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 2: this morning. It's hard to imagine, Robes a farther fall 9 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 2: from grace for Andrew, and yet it has happened. Just 10 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 2: your reaction to hearing Prince Andrew for Prince Andrew is 11 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 2: now under arrest. 12 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 3: I have to say I feel emotional because I don't 13 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 3: think most people ever thought this day would happen. I 14 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 3: know that so many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein, 15 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 3: and especially Virginia Giufray, if she could have seen this day, 16 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 3: I don't think she thought it was possible. I think 17 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 3: most of the victims didn't think this was likely. And 18 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 3: to see this happen is just overwhelming. I think that's 19 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 3: my initial reaction. I'm emotionally overwhelmed, and it feels like finally, finally, 20 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 3: justice might actually be happening. 21 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: All right, and justice what will that look like? 22 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: Let's be clear here, folks, and again, this news just 23 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 2: came to us minutes minutes before we started recording here. 24 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: So a lot of more information still to come, but these, 25 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 2: at least from what we understand, charges, and there is 26 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: a police statement even about this. These charges aren't necessarily 27 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: Robes to your point there about victims not having to 28 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 2: do with sexual misconduct. Instead, this has to do with 29 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: his behavior, his conduct, if you will. While he was 30 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 2: representing the British government and still connected to Epstein, he 31 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: possibly passed on some confidential information to Epstein and that 32 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 2: would be the violation of life law. That is what 33 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: we're talking about, Steel Ropes. It's his connection to Epstein, 34 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: even if it's not a charge of some kind of 35 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: sexual misconduct. 36 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 4: Correct. 37 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 3: It does feel a little bit like how back in 38 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 3: the day the United States was able to go after 39 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 3: members of the mafia. They didn't actually convict them on 40 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 3: some of the most heinous parts of what they've been 41 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 3: are accused of murder, etc. 42 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 4: But it was tax evasion, you know. 43 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 3: So you find a way, and this certainly is one 44 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 3: way where they feel like they can prove it appears 45 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 3: that he violated British law and so yes, the Thames 46 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 3: Valley Police made a statement and They actually didn't officially 47 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 3: name Andrew the former prince because that is also British law, 48 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 3: but we can go ahead and read for you the 49 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 3: statement that they put out. Thames Valley Police has opened 50 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 3: an investigation into the offense of misconduct in public office. 51 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,839 Speaker 3: As part of the investigation, we have today arrested a 52 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 3: man in his sixty from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct 53 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 3: in public office and are carrying out searches at addresses 54 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 3: in Berkshire and Norfolk. The man remains in police custody 55 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 3: at this time. We will not be naming the arrested 56 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 3: man as per national guidance. Please also remember that this 57 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 3: case is now active, so care should be taken with 58 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 3: any publication to avoid being in contempt of court. The 59 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 3: Assistant Chief Constable said, following a thorough assessment, we have 60 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 3: now opened an investigation into this allegation of misconduct in 61 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 3: public office. It is important that we protect the integrity 62 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 3: and objectivity of our investigation as we work with our 63 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 3: partners to investigate the investigate this alleged defense. 64 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 4: And this is interesting, they say. At the end. 65 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 3: We understand the significant public interest in this case and 66 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 3: we will provide updates at the appropriate time. 67 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 2: So this is a suspicion of misconduct while in public office. 68 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: That is officially what they've been looking at. Now we 69 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: should go back, we should explain, yes, they've been looking 70 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: into this because an allegation came up and it was 71 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: brought to police attention. However, as we've had trickle and 72 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 2: trickle and trickle of Epstein files come out, those Epstein 73 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 2: files have continued to show more of relationships between a 74 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: lot of powerful people around the world and Jeffrey Epstein. 75 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: We have known robes for a long time about the 76 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: relationship and the allegations having to do with the relationship 77 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: between Epstein and former Prince Andrew, but some of the 78 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 2: documents are giving more insight into the relationship and apparently 79 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 2: there is something in this new batch that has provided 80 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 2: further evidence that allowed police to move forward with this 81 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 2: idea of some misconduct in public office. 82 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 4: That's right. 83 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 3: There's an email specifically that Andrew appears to have forwarded 84 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 3: to Jeffrey Epstein, and in that email, the forwarding was 85 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 3: official reports about visits he made as an envoy of 86 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 3: the British government to South Asia. So he gets these 87 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 3: official reports from his assistant Andrew, and then he forwards 88 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 3: these official reports, these government documents to Jeffrey Epstein, and 89 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 3: that is the act that he is now being investigated for. 90 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's a violation. You're passing along confident. 91 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 2: Imagine a top secret US document you pass along to 92 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: somebody of yours via email. 93 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: That is a violation. 94 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 2: So now they feel they have enough to move forward, 95 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 2: and they're moving forward and arresting the former Prince Andrew. 96 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 2: On happy birthday, mister former Prince today happens to be 97 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 2: his sixty sixth birthday. Police have been seen at the 98 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 2: home that he is in now, which is his brother's home, 99 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 2: because he officially got kicked out of the Royal residences. 100 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: Is that correct? 101 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 3: Yes? He obviously we have seen over the past several 102 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 3: months the Royal Family, in a very bold and public way, 103 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 3: distanced themselves in statement and in localit. 104 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: He got kicked out of a family, He got. 105 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 3: Kicked out of the family, got kicked out of the 106 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 3: family homes, lost his title. I mean, they have done 107 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 3: everything they can to completely distance themselves from Andrew, including 108 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 3: now we can't even call him Prince Andrew anymore. 109 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 4: The man formally known as Prince Andrew he. 110 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: Took that title, and at the time, Robes, when that happened, 111 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 2: a lot of people looked at and really celebrated. This 112 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 2: is the best we're ever going to get, because that 113 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 2: is no small thing. That doesn't just happen to have 114 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 2: your print now to us here in this country, like, oh, yeah, 115 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 2: that's a big deal. Oh that's tough. That sucks for him. 116 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: This is everything over there. To have a title taken 117 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 2: that was given to you by birth, that was a 118 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 2: big deal. Thought that was going to be the end 119 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 2: of it. Robes, we knew some investigations and things were 120 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 2: going on. I have to tell you I wasn't holding 121 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 2: out some hope and had an expectation that we were 122 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 2: going to have this headline. 123 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 4: No, this actually no, It truly takes my breath away. 124 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,799 Speaker 3: I'm not overstating that this is something that I don't 125 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 3: think most people thought they would ever witness in their lifetime. 126 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 3: I believe I've been actually looking at the precedence for 127 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 3: this and it just doesn't exist. 128 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 4: This is unheard of. This is significant. 129 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 3: And just before the announcement was made, by the way, 130 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 3: interestingly enough, Prime Minister of Great Britain kre Starmer told 131 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 3: the BBC. Nobody is above the law, and they were 132 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 3: talking about so he was probably very aware of what 133 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,559 Speaker 3: was about to happen or what had been happening behind 134 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 3: the scenes before we saw this news break today, and 135 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 3: certainly just to even see a British police there at 136 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 3: the residence where Andrew is and then to think about 137 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 3: him being incarcerated right now, in custody right now, The 138 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,559 Speaker 3: idea of that, the image of that, it blows my mind. 139 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 2: I mean again, you know, it's shocking that the arrest 140 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 2: took place. It's for what a reason it. I don't 141 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 2: to see an image of him under arrest wouldn't be shocking. 142 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: I'm saying. For so long we have not had hidden 143 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 2: or publicly ropes. He hasn't had any type of respectful 144 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 2: reputation in years, in years and years, and for the 145 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: most part, the reputation is like an icky, creepy guy 146 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 2: was the Oh my god, even I'm sorry if you 147 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 2: can't come up with it, I can't right now. The 148 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 2: billboards that the company uses in New York, oh. 149 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 3: They were tongue in cheek making fun of basically how 150 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 3: Prince Andrew got away with the crimes that everyone knows 151 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 3: he committed. 152 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: So to my point, it was a storage company in 153 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: New York. 154 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,359 Speaker 2: Essentially big billboard you drive around it said they advertise 155 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 2: no fees, no penalties, just like Prince Andrew. 156 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: Like it was. 157 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 2: I'm saying, the reputation you could, you could say anything 158 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 2: about him. Everybody just understood this was the this was 159 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 2: the royal that was It was okay to insult. This 160 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 2: was the old He was just an outlier robes. So 161 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 2: to think now he's been arrested. Maybe we didn't think 162 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: it was going to happen, But I think for the 163 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 2: most part, people aren't shocked by the idea of this 164 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 2: guy being in handcuffs. 165 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,719 Speaker 1: Most we go, okay, that makes sense. 166 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 4: That's a very good point you should make. 167 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 3: He for long, for years now, he has been a joke, 168 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 3: a laughing stock people. 169 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 4: But that's even wrong. He shouldn't just be a joke 170 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 4: or a laughing stock. 171 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 3: He most certainly should have been held accountable for these insinuations, 172 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 3: these allegations, and truly most people believe. I think in 173 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 3: this world that people who have enough money, who have 174 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 3: enough protection, who have a big enough title, will never 175 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 3: be held accountable. I think some people just almost unfortunately 176 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 3: submit to that idea and accept that idea. And so 177 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 3: to see somebody actually now who was at the highest 178 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 3: level you can think potentially, I mean, he wasn't elected 179 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 3: to his office, as you point out, he was given it, 180 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 3: perhaps even stronger than in terms of his protection, because 181 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 3: this is something he was born into, something he was 182 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 3: entitled to. And so to see some of those titles 183 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 3: stripped away as one thing, but to now see him 184 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 3: held accountable in a criminal court essentially, which is what 185 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 3: we will actually be moving forward with, is just surreal now. 186 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 3: I actually, by the way, in case anyone was interested, 187 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 3: I did find that billboard slogan because it is the point. 188 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is what it said, safe, secure, protected with 189 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 4: minimum charges, just like and. 190 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 2: They were advertising storage space, like they used him as 191 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 2: a punchline just to advertise storage space. Has nothing to 192 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 2: do with anything I'm saying. That's the reach of this story. 193 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 2: That's the reach of Epstein. That's the reach of power. 194 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 2: That's the reach of Prince Andrew. And what this story 195 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 2: has been for year robes how many how long? At 196 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 2: least a decade this but how long has he been 197 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 2: dealing with Epstein? 198 00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: Oh? The accusations. 199 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 3: Look, I believe Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in twenty nineteen. Correct, 200 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 3: so he was arrested again, but he was initially held 201 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 3: accountable for a very small sweetheart deal that he received 202 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 3: in Florida back in two thousand and seven. Prince Andrew 203 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 3: or Andrew's name, has been involved in this story for decades, 204 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 3: I believe would be the best way to put it, 205 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 3: for more than fifteen years at least. And Virginia Giuffrey, 206 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 3: who at the time was went by Virginia Roberts. She 207 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 3: put her name out there almost immediately people knew who 208 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 3: she was. She made the initial allegations she actually was. 209 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 3: I don't know if she was Jane Doe number one 210 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 3: or Jane No. Number two in these but she has 211 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 3: been speaking out and speaking up. She went hiding in 212 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 3: Australia because she was so concerned about the backlash and 213 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 3: the repercussions of saying what happened to her. But she 214 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 3: was the first person to point the finger directly at 215 00:11:58,520 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 3: Andrew period. 216 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: He is Folks. 217 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 2: As we speak this morning, we continue to watch these 218 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 2: reports being coming out from several outlets BBC in particular, 219 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 2: but now everyone has picked up in all the major 220 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: reporting yes, that Prince Andrew the Royal, formerly known as 221 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 2: Prince Andrew, is in police custody as we speak and 222 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 2: has been arrested this morning after a round of police 223 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 2: activity at his home. 224 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: That continues. We'll explain what's happenings to here. 225 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 2: And we continue here on Amy and TJ with a 226 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 2: breaking story that I mean, We'll be honest with you, guys. 227 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 2: We were all set to hit record on a different 228 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 2: story overnight story this morning and Rhodes, I is it really? 229 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 2: Were we not a minute two minutes away from doing 230 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 2: something else and this story came across and this will 231 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 2: be the story of the day everywhere. 232 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 3: Yes, we actually were sitting had our microphones in hand, 233 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden you said, hold up, Robes, 234 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 3: we have a massive breaking news story to report. And 235 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 3: so yes, getting word that Andrew, formerly known as Prince Andrew. 236 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 3: I guess he's Andrew mount Batten Windsor has been arrested 237 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 3: and is being investigated for charges of misconduct in public office. 238 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 3: The reports are that he sent and we see the 239 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 3: email he forwarded an email he received from his assistance 240 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 3: about official royal duties in South Asia. He sent these 241 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 3: official reports to Jeffrey Epstein, which would be a clear 242 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 3: violation of British law. And by the way, this is 243 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 3: really significant because if he is found guilty, the maximum penalty. 244 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 4: For these charges life in prison. That is. 245 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 3: Again I keep saying the words surreal, but I just 246 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 3: it's hard to process this day and this arrest and 247 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 3: what this conviction could mean. 248 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 2: Police, again, as we speak, continue to be at his 249 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 2: home now, according to reports out of the BBC, at 250 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 2: least now that this has been initiated, Now that this 251 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 2: process is underway, they will be searching. Police you can 252 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 2: expect them to be at his home or homes and 253 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 2: now have the authority to start collecting information, collecting evidence. 254 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 2: We have seen this morning, at least the pictures and 255 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 2: the images we're seeing Robes, it is it's wild to 256 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: see authorities, police outfitted in police uniforms at the home 257 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 2: of former Prince Andrew going through his stuff. But that 258 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: is what's happening this morning, Robes. I don't know how 259 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 2: and I don't think people expect it. This story, this 260 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 2: Epstein's story, is incredible. We're talking about people stepping down 261 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 2: recently and people under fire. The guy at the LA Olympics, 262 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 2: that's running that. 263 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 5: All these tize, these powerful, powerful people, and yet roads 264 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 5: in the past week we have seen a bunch of 265 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 5: domin fall. This is the biggest domino in the Epstein story. 266 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 3: Yes, we last week, I believe it was the top 267 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 3: lawyer for Goldman Sachs, all of her emails were released. 268 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 3: We're seeing folks from Norway, the ambassador there stepping down, resigning. 269 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 3: This is the point, and this was why there was 270 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 3: such a rallying cry for transparency for the FBI, for 271 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 3: the Department of Justice, for anyone who had files and 272 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 3: emails related to Jeffrey Epstein and the investigation into his 273 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 3: illegal activity. They wanted the people who had been protected 274 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 3: essentially by not having these documents released. People wanted to 275 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 3: know who was allowing him. You know, this is a 276 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 3: huge part of it. People who were in positions of power, 277 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 3: who created a safety net, so to speak, a bubble 278 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 3: for Jeffrey Epstein to operate in and around. People wanted 279 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 3: those folks held accountable. And we are seeing that now 280 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 3: actually finally happen with this latest three million document drop 281 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 3: from the day Dog. And this is pretty remarkable. And yes, 282 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 3: this is the biggest fish. This was the biggest name 283 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 3: that had been out there. Definitely, with all the names 284 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 3: that have been suggested, this was the big fish. 285 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 2: And I should have said this at the very should 286 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 2: have said this at the very top. He has always 287 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: denied wrongdoing. He has not been held accountable criminally for anything. 288 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 2: At this point, he is still an innocent man, but 289 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 2: he has denied wrongdoing. That wrongdoing includes allegations direct and 290 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 2: public allegations that he in fact did have sex with 291 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 2: an underage girl on multiple occasions, that being Virginia je Fray. 292 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 3: It also should be noted though, in twenty twenty two, 293 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 3: he paid Virginia an undisclosed amount of money to settle 294 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 3: a civil lawsuit in a New York Co. Court, and 295 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 3: in that lawsuit, Virginia did state specifically that he raped her, 296 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 3: that he sexually abused her when she was seventeen. Now, 297 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 3: in that settlement, as you point out, he did not 298 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 3: admit any wrong doing, but he did pay her a 299 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 3: decent amount of money. 300 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: And again people can come to those conclusions. 301 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 2: But at this point it should and continue should be 302 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 2: noted that he is considered and should be considered an 303 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 2: innocent man and has always denied any wrongdoing. Folks, this 304 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: is going to be a developing story throughout the day 305 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 2: today because it has just happened within the past hour, 306 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 2: within the past moments and minutes even and as it 307 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 2: continues to develop. But the biggest probably fish in this 308 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 2: whole Epstein fiasco that so many people have pointed towards. Yes, 309 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 2: Gallaine Maxwell is in jail. She has a twenty year 310 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 2: prison sentence, and a lot of people are saying, fine, 311 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 2: that's the only justice we can get because Epstein died, 312 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 2: I think robes a lot of people thought that was 313 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 2: the best you're going to get as far as accountability. 314 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 2: And I think a lot of people get angry at 315 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 2: the idea of her trying to get out of jail 316 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,719 Speaker 2: or being pardoned, because a lot of people look at 317 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 2: this is all we're. 318 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: Going to have an accountability. This adds a new life. 319 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 4: Oh, it certainly does. 320 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 3: And we had already heard previously from King Charles and 321 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 3: the Royal family that they would stand by and continue 322 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 3: to support any law enforcement action that may or may 323 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 3: not be taken against Andrew.
