WEBVTT - Breaking RIGHT NOW:  Former Prince Andrew Arrested 

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Hey, that folks.

0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:17.880
<v Speaker 2>It is Thursday, February nineteenth, and the royal formerly known

0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:22.319
<v Speaker 2>as Prince Andrew has been arrested. With that Welcome to

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:25.439
<v Speaker 2>this breaking news episode of Amy and TJ.

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Robes.

0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 2>This news is just coming to us just as we

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 2>were about to hit the record butting on something else

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 2>this morning. It's hard to imagine, Robes a farther fall

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:39.600
<v Speaker 2>from grace for Andrew, and yet it has happened. Just

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.960
<v Speaker 2>your reaction to hearing Prince Andrew for Prince Andrew is

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:43.840
<v Speaker 2>now under arrest.

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 3>I have to say I feel emotional because I don't

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 3>think most people ever thought this day would happen. I

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 3>know that so many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein,

0:00:56.240 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 3>and especially Virginia Giufray, if she could have seen this day,

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't think she thought it was possible. I think

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:09.039
<v Speaker 3>most of the victims didn't think this was likely. And

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 3>to see this happen is just overwhelming. I think that's

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:18.319
<v Speaker 3>my initial reaction. I'm emotionally overwhelmed, and it feels like finally, finally,

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 3>justice might actually be happening.

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.959
<v Speaker 1>All right, and justice what will that look like?

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Let's be clear here, folks, and again, this news just

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 2>came to us minutes minutes before we started recording here.

0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 2>So a lot of more information still to come, but these,

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 2>at least from what we understand, charges, and there is

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 2>a police statement even about this. These charges aren't necessarily

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Robes to your point there about victims not having to

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.319
<v Speaker 2>do with sexual misconduct. Instead, this has to do with

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 2>his behavior, his conduct, if you will. While he was

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 2>representing the British government and still connected to Epstein, he

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>possibly passed on some confidential information to Epstein and that

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 2>would be the violation of life law. That is what

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about, Steel Ropes. It's his connection to Epstein,

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 2>even if it's not a charge of some kind of

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>sexual misconduct.

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 4>Correct.

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 3>It does feel a little bit like how back in

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 3>the day the United States was able to go after

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 3>members of the mafia. They didn't actually convict them on

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 3>some of the most heinous parts of what they've been

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:21.959
<v Speaker 3>are accused of murder, etc.

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:23.920
<v Speaker 4>But it was tax evasion, you know.

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.359
<v Speaker 3>So you find a way, and this certainly is one

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 3>way where they feel like they can prove it appears

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 3>that he violated British law and so yes, the Thames

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 3>Valley Police made a statement and They actually didn't officially

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 3>name Andrew the former prince because that is also British law,

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 3>but we can go ahead and read for you the

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:50.239
<v Speaker 3>statement that they put out. Thames Valley Police has opened

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 3>an investigation into the offense of misconduct in public office.

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.839
<v Speaker 3>As part of the investigation, we have today arrested a

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 3>man in his sixty from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 3>in public office and are carrying out searches at addresses

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:12.080
<v Speaker 3>in Berkshire and Norfolk. The man remains in police custody

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.080
<v Speaker 3>at this time. We will not be naming the arrested

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 3>man as per national guidance. Please also remember that this

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 3>case is now active, so care should be taken with

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 3>any publication to avoid being in contempt of court. The

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.640
<v Speaker 3>Assistant Chief Constable said, following a thorough assessment, we have

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 3>now opened an investigation into this allegation of misconduct in

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 3>public office. It is important that we protect the integrity

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 3>and objectivity of our investigation as we work with our

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 3>partners to investigate the investigate this alleged defense.

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 4>And this is interesting, they say. At the end.

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 3>We understand the significant public interest in this case and

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 3>we will provide updates at the appropriate time.

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 2>So this is a suspicion of misconduct while in public office.

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 2>That is officially what they've been looking at. Now we

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 2>should go back, we should explain, yes, they've been looking

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 2>into this because an allegation came up and it was

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 2>brought to police attention. However, as we've had trickle and

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 2>trickle and trickle of Epstein files come out, those Epstein

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 2>files have continued to show more of relationships between a

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 2>lot of powerful people around the world and Jeffrey Epstein.

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 2>We have known robes for a long time about the

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 2>relationship and the allegations having to do with the relationship

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 2>between Epstein and former Prince Andrew, but some of the

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 2>documents are giving more insight into the relationship and apparently

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 2>there is something in this new batch that has provided

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 2>further evidence that allowed police to move forward with this

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.039
<v Speaker 2>idea of some misconduct in public office.

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:43.479
<v Speaker 4>That's right.

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 3>There's an email specifically that Andrew appears to have forwarded

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 3>to Jeffrey Epstein, and in that email, the forwarding was

0:04:55.680 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 3>official reports about visits he made as an envoy of

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 3>the British government to South Asia. So he gets these

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:09.240
<v Speaker 3>official reports from his assistant Andrew, and then he forwards

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 3>these official reports, these government documents to Jeffrey Epstein, and

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 3>that is the act that he is now being investigated for.

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and that's a violation. You're passing along confident.

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:24.279
<v Speaker 2>Imagine a top secret US document you pass along to

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 2>somebody of yours via email.

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>That is a violation.

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 2>So now they feel they have enough to move forward,

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.400
<v Speaker 2>and they're moving forward and arresting the former Prince Andrew.

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:36.719
<v Speaker 2>On happy birthday, mister former Prince today happens to be

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 2>his sixty sixth birthday. Police have been seen at the

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 2>home that he is in now, which is his brother's home,

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.680
<v Speaker 2>because he officially got kicked out of the Royal residences.

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Is that correct?

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 3>Yes? He obviously we have seen over the past several

0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:56.040
<v Speaker 3>months the Royal Family, in a very bold and public way,

0:05:56.080 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 3>distanced themselves in statement and in localit.

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:01.840
<v Speaker 1>He got kicked out of a family, He got.

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.280
<v Speaker 3>Kicked out of the family, got kicked out of the

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 3>family homes, lost his title. I mean, they have done

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 3>everything they can to completely distance themselves from Andrew, including

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.279
<v Speaker 3>now we can't even call him Prince Andrew anymore.

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.479
<v Speaker 4>The man formally known as Prince Andrew he.

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Took that title, and at the time, Robes, when that happened,

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people looked at and really celebrated. This

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.839
<v Speaker 2>is the best we're ever going to get, because that

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.160
<v Speaker 2>is no small thing. That doesn't just happen to have

0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>your print now to us here in this country, like, oh, yeah,

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.480
<v Speaker 2>that's a big deal. Oh that's tough. That sucks for him.

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 2>This is everything over there. To have a title taken

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.120
<v Speaker 2>that was given to you by birth, that was a

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.040
<v Speaker 2>big deal. Thought that was going to be the end

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:46.240
<v Speaker 2>of it. Robes, we knew some investigations and things were

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 2>going on. I have to tell you I wasn't holding

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 2>out some hope and had an expectation that we were

0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:51.719
<v Speaker 2>going to have this headline.

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.480
<v Speaker 4>No, this actually no, It truly takes my breath away.

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:58.799
<v Speaker 3>I'm not overstating that this is something that I don't

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 3>think most people thought they would ever witness in their lifetime.

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 3>I believe I've been actually looking at the precedence for

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 3>this and it just doesn't exist.

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 4>This is unheard of. This is significant.

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 3>And just before the announcement was made, by the way,

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 3>interestingly enough, Prime Minister of Great Britain kre Starmer told

0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 3>the BBC. Nobody is above the law, and they were

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 3>talking about so he was probably very aware of what

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.559
<v Speaker 3>was about to happen or what had been happening behind

0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 3>the scenes before we saw this news break today, and

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 3>certainly just to even see a British police there at

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 3>the residence where Andrew is and then to think about

0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 3>him being incarcerated right now, in custody right now, The

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:52.559
<v Speaker 3>idea of that, the image of that, it blows my mind.

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean again, you know, it's shocking that the arrest

0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 2>took place. It's for what a reason it. I don't

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.440
<v Speaker 2>to see an image of him under arrest wouldn't be shocking.

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying. For so long we have not had hidden

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 2>or publicly ropes. He hasn't had any type of respectful

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.720
<v Speaker 2>reputation in years, in years and years, and for the

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:21.840
<v Speaker 2>most part, the reputation is like an icky, creepy guy

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 2>was the Oh my god, even I'm sorry if you

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 2>can't come up with it, I can't right now. The

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 2>billboards that the company uses in New York, oh.

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:35.360
<v Speaker 3>They were tongue in cheek making fun of basically how

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:39.560
<v Speaker 3>Prince Andrew got away with the crimes that everyone knows

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 3>he committed.

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 1>So to my point, it was a storage company in

0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:43.000
<v Speaker 1>New York.

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Essentially big billboard you drive around it said they advertise

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 2>no fees, no penalties, just like Prince Andrew.

0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Like it was.

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying, the reputation you could, you could say anything

0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:01.560
<v Speaker 2>about him. Everybody just understood this was the this was

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 2>the royal that was It was okay to insult. This

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 2>was the old He was just an outlier robes. So

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.000
<v Speaker 2>to think now he's been arrested. Maybe we didn't think

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 2>it was going to happen, But I think for the

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:15.880
<v Speaker 2>most part, people aren't shocked by the idea of this

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:17.960
<v Speaker 2>guy being in handcuffs.

0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.719
<v Speaker 1>Most we go, okay, that makes sense.

0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 4>That's a very good point you should make.

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:25.480
<v Speaker 3>He for long, for years now, he has been a joke,

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 3>a laughing stock people.

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 4>But that's even wrong. He shouldn't just be a joke

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 4>or a laughing stock.

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:36.439
<v Speaker 3>He most certainly should have been held accountable for these insinuations,

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:40.200
<v Speaker 3>these allegations, and truly most people believe. I think in

0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 3>this world that people who have enough money, who have

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.600
<v Speaker 3>enough protection, who have a big enough title, will never

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:51.319
<v Speaker 3>be held accountable. I think some people just almost unfortunately

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.320
<v Speaker 3>submit to that idea and accept that idea. And so

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:58.040
<v Speaker 3>to see somebody actually now who was at the highest

0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 3>level you can think potentially, I mean, he wasn't elected

0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.560
<v Speaker 3>to his office, as you point out, he was given it,

0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 3>perhaps even stronger than in terms of his protection, because

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 3>this is something he was born into, something he was

0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.880
<v Speaker 3>entitled to. And so to see some of those titles

0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.320
<v Speaker 3>stripped away as one thing, but to now see him

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:21.440
<v Speaker 3>held accountable in a criminal court essentially, which is what

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.880
<v Speaker 3>we will actually be moving forward with, is just surreal now.

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:26.960
<v Speaker 3>I actually, by the way, in case anyone was interested,

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 3>I did find that billboard slogan because it is the point.

0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, this is what it said, safe, secure, protected with

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.320
<v Speaker 4>minimum charges, just like and.

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:41.240
<v Speaker 2>They were advertising storage space, like they used him as

0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 2>a punchline just to advertise storage space. Has nothing to

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.920
<v Speaker 2>do with anything I'm saying. That's the reach of this story.

0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:48.839
<v Speaker 2>That's the reach of Epstein. That's the reach of power.

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 2>That's the reach of Prince Andrew. And what this story

0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.200
<v Speaker 2>has been for year robes how many how long? At

0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.720
<v Speaker 2>least a decade this but how long has he been

0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 2>dealing with Epstein?

0:10:58.120 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh? The accusations.

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 3>Look, I believe Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in twenty nineteen. Correct,

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 3>so he was arrested again, but he was initially held

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 3>accountable for a very small sweetheart deal that he received

0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 3>in Florida back in two thousand and seven. Prince Andrew

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:23.120
<v Speaker 3>or Andrew's name, has been involved in this story for decades,

0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:25.320
<v Speaker 3>I believe would be the best way to put it,

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 3>for more than fifteen years at least. And Virginia Giuffrey,

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.240
<v Speaker 3>who at the time was went by Virginia Roberts. She

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.640
<v Speaker 3>put her name out there almost immediately people knew who

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:40.240
<v Speaker 3>she was. She made the initial allegations she actually was.

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if she was Jane Doe number one

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 3>or Jane No. Number two in these but she has

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 3>been speaking out and speaking up. She went hiding in

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.960
<v Speaker 3>Australia because she was so concerned about the backlash and

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:55.360
<v Speaker 3>the repercussions of saying what happened to her. But she

0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 3>was the first person to point the finger directly at

0:11:58.520 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 3>Andrew period.

0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 1>He is Folks.

0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 2>As we speak this morning, we continue to watch these

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 2>reports being coming out from several outlets BBC in particular,

0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:10.800
<v Speaker 2>but now everyone has picked up in all the major

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 2>reporting yes, that Prince Andrew the Royal, formerly known as

0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Prince Andrew, is in police custody as we speak and

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 2>has been arrested this morning after a round of police

0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.080
<v Speaker 2>activity at his home.

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:29.040
<v Speaker 1>That continues. We'll explain what's happenings to here.

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:40.679
<v Speaker 2>And we continue here on Amy and TJ with a

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.719
<v Speaker 2>breaking story that I mean, We'll be honest with you, guys.

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.559
<v Speaker 2>We were all set to hit record on a different

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:50.720
<v Speaker 2>story overnight story this morning and Rhodes, I is it really?

0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Were we not a minute two minutes away from doing

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 2>something else and this story came across and this will

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:57.800
<v Speaker 2>be the story of the day everywhere.

0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 3>Yes, we actually were sitting had our microphones in hand,

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:04.640
<v Speaker 3>and all of a sudden you said, hold up, Robes,

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 3>we have a massive breaking news story to report. And

0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 3>so yes, getting word that Andrew, formerly known as Prince Andrew.

0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 3>I guess he's Andrew mount Batten Windsor has been arrested

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 3>and is being investigated for charges of misconduct in public office.

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.800
<v Speaker 3>The reports are that he sent and we see the

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 3>email he forwarded an email he received from his assistance

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 3>about official royal duties in South Asia. He sent these

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:37.600
<v Speaker 3>official reports to Jeffrey Epstein, which would be a clear

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.320
<v Speaker 3>violation of British law. And by the way, this is

0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:45.880
<v Speaker 3>really significant because if he is found guilty, the maximum penalty.

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 4>For these charges life in prison. That is.

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:53.800
<v Speaker 3>Again I keep saying the words surreal, but I just

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 3>it's hard to process this day and this arrest and

0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:59.839
<v Speaker 3>what this conviction could mean.

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Police, again, as we speak, continue to be at his

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 2>home now, according to reports out of the BBC, at

0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 2>least now that this has been initiated, Now that this

0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:15.040
<v Speaker 2>process is underway, they will be searching. Police you can

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:18.560
<v Speaker 2>expect them to be at his home or homes and

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 2>now have the authority to start collecting information, collecting evidence.

0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 2>We have seen this morning, at least the pictures and

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 2>the images we're seeing Robes, it is it's wild to

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:32.040
<v Speaker 2>see authorities, police outfitted in police uniforms at the home

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 2>of former Prince Andrew going through his stuff. But that

0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:39.120
<v Speaker 2>is what's happening this morning, Robes. I don't know how

0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 2>and I don't think people expect it. This story, this

0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Epstein's story, is incredible. We're talking about people stepping down

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 2>recently and people under fire. The guy at the LA Olympics,

0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:51.720
<v Speaker 2>that's running that.

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 5>All these tize, these powerful, powerful people, and yet roads

0:14:57.720 --> 0:14:59.640
<v Speaker 5>in the past week we have seen a bunch of

0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 5>domin fall. This is the biggest domino in the Epstein story.

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 3>Yes, we last week, I believe it was the top

0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 3>lawyer for Goldman Sachs, all of her emails were released.

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 3>We're seeing folks from Norway, the ambassador there stepping down, resigning.

0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.960
<v Speaker 3>This is the point, and this was why there was

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:23.880
<v Speaker 3>such a rallying cry for transparency for the FBI, for

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.680
<v Speaker 3>the Department of Justice, for anyone who had files and

0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:30.320
<v Speaker 3>emails related to Jeffrey Epstein and the investigation into his

0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:34.520
<v Speaker 3>illegal activity. They wanted the people who had been protected

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:38.360
<v Speaker 3>essentially by not having these documents released. People wanted to

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 3>know who was allowing him. You know, this is a

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.400
<v Speaker 3>huge part of it. People who were in positions of power,

0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:47.320
<v Speaker 3>who created a safety net, so to speak, a bubble

0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.600
<v Speaker 3>for Jeffrey Epstein to operate in and around. People wanted

0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.360
<v Speaker 3>those folks held accountable. And we are seeing that now

0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:59.360
<v Speaker 3>actually finally happen with this latest three million document drop

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 3>from the day Dog. And this is pretty remarkable. And yes,

0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:07.000
<v Speaker 3>this is the biggest fish. This was the biggest name

0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:10.840
<v Speaker 3>that had been out there. Definitely, with all the names

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.760
<v Speaker 3>that have been suggested, this was the big fish.

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 2>And I should have said this at the very should

0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:19.280
<v Speaker 2>have said this at the very top. He has always

0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:24.600
<v Speaker 2>denied wrongdoing. He has not been held accountable criminally for anything.

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.200
<v Speaker 2>At this point, he is still an innocent man, but

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:32.640
<v Speaker 2>he has denied wrongdoing. That wrongdoing includes allegations direct and

0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.880
<v Speaker 2>public allegations that he in fact did have sex with

0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:39.920
<v Speaker 2>an underage girl on multiple occasions, that being Virginia je Fray.

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 3>It also should be noted though, in twenty twenty two,

0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:47.160
<v Speaker 3>he paid Virginia an undisclosed amount of money to settle

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.440
<v Speaker 3>a civil lawsuit in a New York Co. Court, and

0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:54.040
<v Speaker 3>in that lawsuit, Virginia did state specifically that he raped her,

0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.600
<v Speaker 3>that he sexually abused her when she was seventeen. Now,

0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 3>in that settlement, as you point out, he did not

0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:03.080
<v Speaker 3>admit any wrong doing, but he did pay her a

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 3>decent amount of money.

0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 1>And again people can come to those conclusions.

0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:08.679
<v Speaker 2>But at this point it should and continue should be

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.840
<v Speaker 2>noted that he is considered and should be considered an

0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:16.399
<v Speaker 2>innocent man and has always denied any wrongdoing. Folks, this

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:18.800
<v Speaker 2>is going to be a developing story throughout the day

0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:22.160
<v Speaker 2>today because it has just happened within the past hour,

0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.840
<v Speaker 2>within the past moments and minutes even and as it

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:29.800
<v Speaker 2>continues to develop. But the biggest probably fish in this

0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:34.360
<v Speaker 2>whole Epstein fiasco that so many people have pointed towards. Yes,

0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Gallaine Maxwell is in jail. She has a twenty year

0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:40.679
<v Speaker 2>prison sentence, and a lot of people are saying, fine,

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 2>that's the only justice we can get because Epstein died,

0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.080
<v Speaker 2>I think robes a lot of people thought that was

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.920
<v Speaker 2>the best you're going to get as far as accountability.

0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.840
<v Speaker 2>And I think a lot of people get angry at

0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:53.520
<v Speaker 2>the idea of her trying to get out of jail

0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:55.719
<v Speaker 2>or being pardoned, because a lot of people look at

0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:57.480
<v Speaker 2>this is all we're.

0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Going to have an accountability. This adds a new life.

0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:01.880
<v Speaker 4>Oh, it certainly does.

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.879
<v Speaker 3>And we had already heard previously from King Charles and

0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 3>the Royal family that they would stand by and continue

0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:13.160
<v Speaker 3>to support any law enforcement action that may or may

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.200
<v Speaker 3>not be taken against Andrew. So they have already previously

0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.160
<v Speaker 3>stated that they stand in support at the victims, they

0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:23.200
<v Speaker 3>stand in support of the law. So Andrew will not

0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.800
<v Speaker 3>be getting any help from the Royal family.

0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Stay with us, folks again.

<v Speaker 1>There are a plenty these days.

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:43.159
<v Speaker 2>There will be plenty on this story today, probably officially

0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:45.880
<v Speaker 2>from law enforcement, but also we can expect to probably

0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:50.240
<v Speaker 2>hear from victims of Epstein and people who were tied

0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:53.639
<v Speaker 2>into this whole mess because Robes a lot of people

0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:56.320
<v Speaker 2>as we are talking, are hearing this news for the

0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:56.879
<v Speaker 2>first time.

0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:59.359
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people in the world are going to

0:18:59.400 --> 0:18:59.919
<v Speaker 1>wake up to this.

0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:03.960
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people, Robes victims in this Epstein story

0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.479
<v Speaker 2>as we talk. It's amazing to think are not aware

0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:08.480
<v Speaker 2>that this has happened yet.

0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:12.119
<v Speaker 3>I just got chills because waking up to this news,

0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.560
<v Speaker 3>even if, and to your point, he's not being charged

0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:18.919
<v Speaker 3>with anything sexual or anything to do with what so

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:21.479
<v Speaker 3>many of these victims endured or encountered, but just to

0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.560
<v Speaker 3>know that someone who thought he could get away with

0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:28.800
<v Speaker 3>acting the way he is accused of acting with Jeffrey

0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:33.200
<v Speaker 3>Epstein might finally actually have a day in court. That

0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:36.600
<v Speaker 3>is a huge, huge development. And of course we will

0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:38.440
<v Speaker 3>stay on top of it for all of you. Thank

0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.520
<v Speaker 3>you in the meantime though, for listening to us. I

0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:42.080
