1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:08,279
Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to bounce across

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,640
the pond and we're gonna check in on the Joe

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,440
exotic of the Windsor family. Because now the calls for

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,120
the police to be involved and to really investigate Andrew

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,280
are growing, and I have to tell you, I'm pretty shocked.

7
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,039
I never thought that we get to a point where

8
00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:31,559
there'd be calls in the UK for Andrew to really

9
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:35,240
answer for what he was up to. And remember, I'm

10
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,320
not just talking about the alleged sexual abuse. I'm talking

11
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,840
about all of it. And at some point, when you

12
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,399
keep the company that Andrew kept, those chickens are going

13
00:00:45,439 --> 00:00:48,320
to come home to roost. Whether somebody ends up getting

14
00:00:48,359 --> 00:00:51,439
hemmed up and flips on you during a trial, whatever

15
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,520
it might be, there's no honor amongst thieves and there

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,240
are certainly no friendship amongst human traffickers. Today's article was

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:05,079
published by The Independent and the headline former Minister joins

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:10,200
calls for police to investigate Andrew over Epstein ties. This

19
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:16,000
article was authored by Athena Stavro. Authorities are facing renewed

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,719
pressure to launch a full investigation into Andrew mount Baton

21
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:23,400
Winsaw and his ties with Jeffrey Epstein after a former

22
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:27,239
business secretary urged them to examine his role as UK

23
00:01:27,359 --> 00:01:31,239
Trade Envoy. And at this point, I think that's a

24
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,239
universal call. And I know I've said it once, but

25
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,840
I'll say it again. If you were Prince Andrew and

26
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,560
you were really innocent, wouldn't you welcome this? Wouldn't you

27
00:01:41,599 --> 00:01:44,560
want there to be an investigation to clear your name? Hey,

28
00:01:44,599 --> 00:01:47,319
look this was looked at, I was cleared I had

29
00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:50,120
nothing to do with this, and then afterwards you can

30
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,319
start suing people, right Prince Andrew so broke. I think

31
00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:56,400
that him suing people would be a great idea for

32
00:01:56,519 --> 00:01:59,680
him if he had a case. But that's the thing.

33
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,079
He doesn't have a case, and he doesn't want to

34
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:05,719
go to discovery. As we saw with Virginia. If he

35
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,000
had all the evidence he said he had, if he

36
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,599
never did the things that he was accused of doing,

37
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,680
do you really think he would have set on fire

38
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:16,479
what little legacy he had left because there was no

39
00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:21,039
coming back from that settlement. Everybody knew that. And let's

40
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,080
not act like he's just some rich guy who can

41
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,840
pay that shit to go away. That's not what happened.

42
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,280
He had to go hat in hand to his family

43
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,599
to get the money to make it go away. So

44
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,400
all signs point to Prince Andrew being guilty. Okay, they

45
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,800
always have and in my opinion, unless there's something drastic,

46
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:48,319
they always will. According to emails released by the US

47
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,919
Department of Justice, mister mount Bountain Winsor appeared to have

48
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,400
forwarded official reports on trips to Singapore, Hong Kong, and

49
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,400
Vietnam in twenty ten and twenty eleven to Epstein when

50
00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:05,199
he was a government trade envoy. And I think this

51
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,439
is going to be the downfall for a lot of people.

52
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,639
A lot of the people that were in Epstein's orbit

53
00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:14,439
will probably be protected from the most heinous of charges,

54
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,479
whether it's statutal limitations, whether there's not enough evidence, whatever

55
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:21,599
it might be. But when it comes to shit like this,

56
00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:25,199
when it comes to financial crimes, when it comes to

57
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,639
trading state secrets, well if there is a paper trail,

58
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,159
if there is evidence, that is a surefire away to

59
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,400
put these people behind bars. And as far as I'm concerned,

60
00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:41,879
that's where they all belong. Ser Vince Cable, whose time

61
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,520
as a business secretary between twenty ten and twenty fifteen

62
00:03:45,919 --> 00:03:50,000
overlap with Andrew's envoy. Roll said the activity was totally

63
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,599
unacceptable and urged the police to launch a full investigation

64
00:03:53,919 --> 00:03:56,919
into his role. He told the BBC we need a

65
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,360
police or DPP Director of Public prosper Secutions check on

66
00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:05,560
whether criminal corruption took place and a government investigation into

67
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:08,919
how this was allowed to happen. Well, the uncomfortable truth

68
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,879
is a lot of it had to do with the Queen.

69
00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:15,159
She loved her baby boy, Andrew, and she was willing

70
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,199
to go to great length to protect them. And we've

71
00:04:18,199 --> 00:04:21,720
saw that time and time again throughout this whole entire fiasco.

72
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,920
How many times did the Queen protect Andrew? How many

73
00:04:25,959 --> 00:04:31,120
times were people turned away when they were looking for answers.

74
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,600
So that's something that the royal family is going to

75
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:36,959
have to grapple with and I think more people are

76
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,199
going to become aware of that as time moves on.

77
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,759
And we have to keep in mind that the vast

78
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:44,959
majority of people are playing catch up now. They don't

79
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,519
have all the details you have. They haven't been following

80
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,480
along for years, they don't know all the nuance, they're

81
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,560
not hit to all of the so called insider baseball, right,

82
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,000
they don't know all of that yet, but once you

83
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,279
start looking at it, and once you start downloading that information,

84
00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:05,279
it becomes rather obvious that the Queen played a gigantic

85
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:09,319
part in being a roadblock between Andrew and any real

86
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:14,120
consequential investigation into the allegations against them. And it wasn't

87
00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:19,000
until the eleventh hour where things were undeniable anymore, where

88
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,040
the Queen acquiesced and got on board with Andrew doing

89
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,240
what he did. It comes after the UK's top prosecutor,

90
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,639
Stephen Parkinson, warned that nobody is above the law, as

91
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,199
the Director of Public Prosecution said no, of course not

92
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,040
when asked whether he thought that the royals were above

93
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,639
the law. Well that's nice, huh. I mean, considering a

94
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:45,920
royal has never been arrested, considering that nobody has access

95
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,160
to their server, I would say that they're above the law,

96
00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:51,959
but it would be nice if they weren't. He added

97
00:05:52,079 --> 00:05:55,800
that he has total confidence that the police will be independent. Well,

98
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,759
I hope so, but I don't know where he gets

99
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:00,639
that confidence from. I mean, how long if we heard

100
00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:03,399
the police in the UK try and sweep this under

101
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:06,600
the rug time and time again. Oh we took a

102
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,600
look at that. Nothing to see here, Prince Andrew, hell

103
00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:12,879
of a guy, but even then it was obvious garbage.

104
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,560
How many people came forward and corroborated that there was

105
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,240
at least enough to investigate. That's the biggest problem here,

106
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,240
that there was never even an investigation, not a real one,

107
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,879
not robust, not one that touched on all facets, and

108
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:36,480
certainly not one that included Prince Andrew. Emails released as

109
00:06:36,519 --> 00:06:39,519
part of the so called Epstein Files earlier this month

110
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,360
appear to show the former Duke, who served as a

111
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,160
trade endvoy between two thousand and one and twenty eleven,

112
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,959
sharing confidential reports from his role as the UK's trade

113
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,839
endvoy with the pedophile financier. And even if you don't

114
00:06:53,879 --> 00:06:56,920
believe all the other accusations, even if you're one of

115
00:06:56,959 --> 00:07:00,399
these people that thinks it's all made up, can you

116
00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:06,240
justify passing any kind of confidential information to anyone, never

117
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,839
mind kai like Jeffrey Epstein? I mean, are you crazy?

118
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,639
We all know the DUE was an asset. We all

119
00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:17,439
know the DUE was working for multiple intelligence services. So

120
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,600
what happened to this confidential information? Did it make its

121
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,079
way into the hands of an enemy of the state.

122
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,839
And again, look, I don't know, I'm just asking questions.

123
00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:31,199
Trade envoys have a duty of confidentiality, and the King

124
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,519
has made clear his profound concern over allegations of misconduct

125
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,079
against Andrew, with Buckingham Pallas saying it stands ready to

126
00:07:40,079 --> 00:07:43,399
support the police if approached. And that's a pretty big

127
00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:46,959
statement because we all know that the Royal Family they

128
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,759
really don't answer to anybody. But I think the storm

129
00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:53,160
is blowing so fiercely that they can't avoid it, right,

130
00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:58,600
so they have to answer it, they have to recognize it.

131
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,959
But to do that exposes them. So the King has decided, hey, look, Andrew,

132
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,920
you've been voted off the island, my friend, and if

133
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,720
the police come for you, we're not stepping in. And

134
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:15,879
that's great, right. I think that's a good step. But

135
00:08:15,959 --> 00:08:19,680
it's about, oh, I don't know, a decade too late,

136
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,199
because Prince Andrew and his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and

137
00:08:25,319 --> 00:08:29,480
his relationship with all these scoundrels in fact, should have

138
00:08:29,519 --> 00:08:34,720
been investigated a long time ago. Much of the work

139
00:08:34,759 --> 00:08:37,679
of the Royal family in recent weeks has been overshadowed

140
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,679
by the Epstein scandal. Despite the King's attempt to draw

141
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,759
a line under the matter when he banished Andrew and

142
00:08:43,879 --> 00:08:48,480
removed his titles. Again, too little, too late. You can't

143
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,120
wait for the ship storm to show up and then

144
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,759
may pretend you care. You have to proactively be out

145
00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:56,279
in front of it. And if you're not, people are

146
00:08:56,279 --> 00:09:01,200
gonna have questions. And that's what we're seeing now right. Well, okay,

147
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,720
it's great that the king's acting, but what took so long?

148
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,440
Why didn't the Queen do it? Why were people so

149
00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:10,000
willing to defend Andrew for so long when the writing

150
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,720
was on the wall. The truth is, they never thought

151
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,639
that this bill was going to come due. They thought

152
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:18,480
that it was going to get swept under the rug

153
00:09:18,919 --> 00:09:21,159
and that we were never going to get answers. Well,

154
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,759
guess what they were wrong, and now we want those answers.

155
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,440
Liberal Democrat leader At Davey claimed the files had made

156
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,639
it clear that Andrew had abused his position as trade

157
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,840
endvoy and called for a public inquiry. The Epstein revelations

158
00:09:38,879 --> 00:09:42,600
were hugely damaging the public trust in our institutions. It's

159
00:09:42,639 --> 00:09:47,360
clear Andrew mount Batten Windsor abused his position as trade endvoy,

160
00:09:47,759 --> 00:09:51,519
sharing sensitive information about the UK's interest with his friend

161
00:09:51,879 --> 00:09:55,639
and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. He told The mal online

162
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,399
the police are rightfully looking into this as we need

163
00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:03,000
full trans to get justice for the victims of this

164
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:09,080
abhorrent abuse. That must also include a public inquiry. Labor

165
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,960
and P Sarah Owen, who heads the Commons Women and

166
00:10:12,039 --> 00:10:15,399
a Qualities Committee, this week, said Andrew must answer to

167
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,559
the police and Parliament over the allegations, while Labor MP

168
00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:23,639
Rachel Mascal told BBC the former Duke should be stripped

169
00:10:23,799 --> 00:10:26,879
of his succession rights to the throne. Well, that sounds

170
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:30,399
like a pretty good idea. No last thing you want

171
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,039
is Uncle Touchy anywhere near the throne, unless, of course,

172
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,480
that throne happens to be a bathroom somewhere that he's cleaning,

173
00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:42,600
because that's the only job he's qualified for. Right with

174
00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:45,240
all the bullshitt he's out here spewing all the bullshitt

175
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:51,120
he's involved in, definitely be somebody that cleans toilets. We

176
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,039
need to know what was happening in those circles, and

177
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,519
therefore I think it would be right to be able

178
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,200
to scrutinize, have transparency and get to the bottom of

179
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,399
all these dealings. She said, all of these titles and

180
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,080
positions need to be addressed, so we're just left with

181
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,240
Andrew the citizen, and the citizen that is fully accountable.

182
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,360
It comes as Tames Value Police said last week that

183
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:17,919
they have held discussions with specialists from the Crown Prosecution

184
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:23,360
Service about the allegations that Andrew shared confidential reports. Before

185
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,399
said while we cannot provide time scials over when a

186
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,840
decision as to whether a criminal investigation will be opened,

187
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,559
we can assure you that Tames Value Police is making

188
00:11:33,639 --> 00:11:39,120
progress as quickly as possible. Assistant Constable Oliver Wright said

189
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,399
they were leading the assessment of allegations relating to misconduct

190
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,960
in public office, which specifically related to documents within the

191
00:11:47,039 --> 00:11:50,759
United States Department of Justice Epstein files. And I think

192
00:11:50,799 --> 00:11:54,679
for Prince Andrew that's where the most exposure is because

193
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,799
he obviously was using his position for personal gain, and

194
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:01,720
I think that there's plenty of evidence that backs that up.

195
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:07,120
So now the question is what's the endgame. Is Prince

196
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,759
Andrew held accountable or are we going to get the

197
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:16,360
UK version of just move On. All of the information
