1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,199
Speaker 1: If you're listening to the Jonesy and Demander podcast from.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 2: The Daily Yads, it's time. This is the.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: Editor no less Everglespie. Hello, Hello, Hi Emma. The Epstein files.

4
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: Where do we even start. There's a frustrating lack of

5
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: momentum of accountability, but it seems that the British politicians

6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: are now being hit.

7
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really going right around the world, this Epstein

8
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 2: file virus. We've got this new drop at the end

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: of January, three million more files from the US Department

10
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: of Justice. I saw an amazing start that if you

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: printed out all of the files, emails, letters, everything in

12
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 2: this latest drop, that it would be taller than the

13
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: Eiffel Tower if you've stacked all the documents together. That's

14
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: how many files we're talking about, and that's.

15
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: How much evidence there is, and yet no one can

16
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: actually do you find any perpetrators?

17
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: Well exactly. But this is why we're kind of learning

18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: more and more each day as people far more clever

19
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 2: than I am are working their way through these files

20
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: and around the redacted dots. But the big scandalized bose

21
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: of the week of the moment is centering around this

22
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: British politician a guy named Peter Mandelsson. Now, he's a

23
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: mainstay of the Labor Party in the UK. He's been

24
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: politics for twenty five years. He was serving as the

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: UK's ambassador to the US for about a year, but

26
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 2: that's all changed. He was sacked from the role because

27
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: these emails came to light of what seems to be

28
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: a very close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Now, the reason

29
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: why people care about this guy is that apparently the

30
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: UK Prime Minister Kirs Starmer was aware of these interactions,

31
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: was aware of this relationship when he decided to appoint

32
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: Mandelsson to the role. So there are now calls for

33
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: kir Starmer's resignation because in Parliament and the public are saying, well,

34
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: if he knew that he was chummy with Epstein, why

35
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: would you have appointed him to the role.

36
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: There are also photographs, aren't there, Emma, of Mendelssohn in

37
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: his underpants.

38
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 2: Yep, there's some pretty lewd emails, I guess, of Epstein

39
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: and Mandelssohn talking about strippers and calling each other naughty

40
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: boys and all kinds of things. So they were clearly

41
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: very very chummy. Kirstarma, the British Prime minister is saying

42
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: he didn't realize the extent to how close they were

43
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: and that Mandelsson downplayed the relationship to him, that this

44
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 2: latest drop of emails really proves that they were very

45
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: good pals. Mandolssohn emailed Epstein when he was in prison

46
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: when he was released, talking about how are they going

47
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: to celebrate? But the net Police, London Metropolitan Police are

48
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: now involved because they're investigating whether or not Mandelsson might

49
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: have actually broken the law by leaking confidential information about

50
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: British parser element to Jeffrey Epstein. So there's potential misconduct

51
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: that is being investigated. Keirs Sarma says he'll participate, he'll

52
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: be transparent about how this man was chosen to be ambassador,

53
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: and he'll help police in any way he can with

54
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 2: their investigation. But this isn't the only police investigation in

55
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: the UK is dealing with right now, because of course,

56
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: the artist formerly known as Prince Andrew is being investigated himself.

57
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: Similar kind of allegations here about potential leaks or confidential

58
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: information from the Palace being given handed over to Jeffrey Epstein,

59
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: and that Epstein, you know, may have used that information

60
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: to financially further himself or to his advantage. So it's

61
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: chaos all over the world now with these files, a lot.

62
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: Of high profile people sweating away. That's rightly Andrew. He says,

63
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: you are great. Thank you for joining us.
