1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,719 Epstein Chronicles. After years of tough talk, after years of 3 00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:10,480 saying that they cared about Epstein and what Epstein was 4 00:00:10,519 --> 00:00:14,960 doing and the crimes he was committing, the Republican led 5 00:00:15,039 --> 00:00:18,920 Congress has decided that they'd rather go on vacation than 6 00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:23,359 force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. But according 7 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,960 to Speaker Johnson, it's more important for the administration to 8 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,280 have some space than it is for us to know 9 00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:33,560 anything more about Jeffrey Epstein. So for anybody out there 10 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,119 thinking that these people cared about you, that these people 11 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,039 cared about what Jeffrey Epstein was up to, they don't. 12 00:00:40,679 --> 00:00:42,759 And this is what I've been telling you for years now. 13 00:00:43,079 --> 00:00:45,600 The only time either side cares about what happened with 14 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,320 Epstein is when they think they can make political hay 15 00:00:48,359 --> 00:00:51,479 of it. But if there's no political points to be scored, 16 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,439 none of these people are anywhere to be seen. Up 17 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,159 until a few weeks ago, a lot of the people 18 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,799 on the left, especially people on the left and leaders positions, 19 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,560 acted like Jeffrey Epstein was just some big Magle hoax, 20 00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:09,200 like it was Pizzagate, or like it was the wayfar situation. 21 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,680 But now miraculously, when they feel like they can make 22 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,560 some political inroads here, all of a sudden, Jeffrey Epstein's 23 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,599 all they can talk about. So for those of us 24 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,760 who have been following along, it comes off as disingenuous 25 00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:25,200 as hell. And during the Biden administration, we never heard 26 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,000 shit about Jeffrey Epstein, even though Biden's own CIA director 27 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,000 had ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Even though we brought in 28 00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:35,280 Bill Richardson to go and work on the Britney grinder situation, 29 00:01:35,879 --> 00:01:39,040 nobody had anything to say. But now, all of a sudden, 30 00:01:39,239 --> 00:01:41,640 all these people are experts, and all of a sudden, 31 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,439 everybody wants transparency. If you want a transparency so bad, 32 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,079 why didn't you call for it for the past four 33 00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:50,799 years or how about the four years prior to that, 34 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,680 or the four years prior to that. See where I'm 35 00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:56,280 going with this. A lot of these politicians have been 36 00:01:56,319 --> 00:01:58,920 in office for how long, so for them to act 37 00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:02,760 like this is something new is super disingenuous. And that's 38 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,920 really where my beef is. If these people really cared, 39 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,960 they'd be talking about the survivors having a committee with 40 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,879 the survivors coming up and talking about what they know, 41 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,879 but instead we get political grandstanding and more delays. Today's 42 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,639 article is from CNN and the headline Johnson shuts door 43 00:02:21,719 --> 00:02:25,639 on House vote before September on releasing the Epstein files. 44 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,719 This article was authored by Manu Raju, Sarah Faris, and 45 00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:36,199 Alison Maine. Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday said he does 46 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,759 not plan to allow votes on any measures related to 47 00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:42,560 the Jeffrey Epstein case in the House final week in 48 00:02:42,759 --> 00:02:46,719 Washington before a week long recess, despite intense pressure from 49 00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:49,599 some of his own GOP members to go on the 50 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,680 record on the issue. Well, of course he's not going 51 00:02:52,719 --> 00:02:55,039 to call the vote. This man is in lockstep with 52 00:02:55,159 --> 00:02:58,439 Donald Trump and everything Donald Trump wants and says. It 53 00:02:58,479 --> 00:03:01,280 doesn't matter what the other members want, It doesn't matter 54 00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:05,159 what the constituents want. It only matters what Donald Trump wants. 55 00:03:05,199 --> 00:03:09,280 I guess. Some of President Trump's most loyal supporters in 56 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,159 Congress have been pressing party leaders to allow for a 57 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,719 vote to show that they support transparency around the Epstein saga, 58 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,800 an issue that continues to animate the magabase, even as 59 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,319 Trump has repeatedly sought to blame Democrats for fanning the flames. Yo, 60 00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:28,400 I am anything but a Democrat, and anyone who's ever 61 00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:31,479 listened to this podcast knows that in about five minutes. 62 00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:33,520 But I'm certainly not one of these died in the 63 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,800 wool maga folks either. Where Donald Trump can do no wrong. 64 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,560 The guy has never been wrong in his life. Everything 65 00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:43,639 he does is better than everybody else. In fact, he's infallible, 66 00:03:44,039 --> 00:03:47,680 and if you criticize anything, he says, well, you're just 67 00:03:47,719 --> 00:03:50,840 a crazy lib. That's the kind of bullshit these people 68 00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:53,039 are trying to push these days, and it's not gonna 69 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,520 work because, like I was saying in the previous episode, 70 00:03:56,639 --> 00:03:59,360 Donald Trump won that election not just by maga votes, 71 00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:03,039 by creating a coalition, and a lot of people in 72 00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:06,639 that coalition are disillusion now, and a lot of it 73 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,479 has to do with the situation we're talking about right 74 00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:14,360 now with Jeffrey Epstein the House forcing the Trump administration 75 00:04:14,479 --> 00:04:18,000 to turn over materials against its will would represent a 76 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,959 remarkable rebuke of the President by his base, but the 77 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,680 push has shown little forward momentum among the party's leadership 78 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,000 on Capitol Hill because it's all about politics. Can't give 79 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,399 anyone any inroads here. The last thing you want to 80 00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:35,920 do is give your political opponents some ammunition. See the 81 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,639 problem though, and the reason why neither side will release 82 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,600 these documents is because it's mutually assured destruction. They both 83 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,120 understand what's inside of those documents. They both understand, meaning 84 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,800 both sides of the aisle, and they both understand how 85 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,759 devastating it will be to their narrative. And that's why 86 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,839 these documents in these files are never going to come out, 87 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,160 and that's why nobody has ever released them up until now. 88 00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:04,839 And the biggest problem with Donald Trump is he ran 89 00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:08,160 his big fat yep talking about Epstein, this and Epstein 90 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,680 that he's going to release this, He's going to release that, 91 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,120 and now that he's in a position to do so, 92 00:05:14,079 --> 00:05:16,839 he falls directly on his face. And this whole entire 93 00:05:16,879 --> 00:05:20,160 situation is a problem of his own making. This could 94 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,279 all go away tomorrow if they would just release the documents. 95 00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:26,040 And that right there should tell you just how damning 96 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,519 these documents are. That Donald Trump is willing to risk 97 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,399 this whole entire fiasco to keep them secret. And I 98 00:05:33,439 --> 00:05:35,360 think that's a bigger part of the story that needs 99 00:05:35,399 --> 00:05:38,639 to be talked about a little bit more. Johnson told 100 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,439 CNN on Monday the full House would not vote on 101 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,399 a pending measure from members of his own party, a 102 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,519 non binding resolution calling for the release of additional Epstein 103 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,040 files before the Chambers August recess, which is slated to 104 00:05:52,079 --> 00:05:56,040 begin at week's end. These people get more vacations than 105 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,279 anybody imagine working in Congress and living the life that 106 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,639 these people live. Show up to work a few hours 107 00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:05,160 a day, have a few votes, get on Twitter, talk 108 00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:08,519 some shit, go home, enjoy the benefits of being a 109 00:06:08,519 --> 00:06:12,639 congressman or a senator. Meanwhile, the rest of us go 110 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,160 into the store and wondering how the fuck we're paying 111 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,079 for groceries. But sure, enjoy your little recess, buddy. My 112 00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:21,920 belief is we need the administration to have space to 113 00:06:21,959 --> 00:06:25,480 do what it's doing, and further congressional action is necessary 114 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,360 or appropriate, then we'll look at that. But I don't 115 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,959 think we're at that point right now because we agree 116 00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:33,759 with the president. He said, well, yeah, he doesn't want 117 00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:36,839 to miss out on the next UFC fight. He wants 118 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,519 to make sure he stays in Trump's good graces. Who 119 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,399 cares if people who are hurting children and young women 120 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,079 get a pass? No big deal. And considering that Congress 121 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,560 has its own slush fund that they use to pay 122 00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:51,959 for all kinds allegations made against them using your money. 123 00:06:51,959 --> 00:06:55,000 By the way, is anybody shocked that they're trying to 124 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,120 protect other predators as well? I'm not, and from the 125 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,120 reaction I'm seeing from people, most of you aren't either. 126 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,920 As part of the deal to approve the White House 127 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,000 Recisions package last week, Johnson reached in accord with GOP 128 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,879 holdouts that allowed the House Rules Committee to advance that 129 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,680 non binding resolution calling for the Epstein files release. But 130 00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:19,839 it's unclear if that measure will make it to the 131 00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:24,279 House floor. With Johnson firmly standing behind Trump on the matter, 132 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,319 there is no daylight between the House Republicans the House 133 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,600 on the President on maximum transparency, Johnson said, adding that 134 00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:35,199 Trump wants all the credible files on Epstein to be 135 00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:38,720 released and asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce grand 136 00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:42,240 jury testimony related to the case, and all of that 137 00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:45,319 is in process right now. This is nothing more than 138 00:07:45,319 --> 00:07:48,480 a stall tactic. I told you from the jump, that's 139 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,480 what they're doing. They know that the process is arduous, 140 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,120 and they know that it's going to take a long 141 00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:55,800 time for a judge to make a ruling one way 142 00:07:55,879 --> 00:07:57,879 or the other and then go through all the files. 143 00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:00,879 So let's kick it down to the court and let's 144 00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:03,439 try and blame them. Oh, the court's taking a long time. 145 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,319 The court doesn't want to release the files, and that'll 146 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,639 be their excuse. We can't release this because the court 147 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,959 told us no. Still, a bipartisan group of House members 148 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,000 led by Kentucky Representative Thomas Massey, is seeking to circumvent 149 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,240 Johnson and force a vote on a separate bill calling 150 00:08:20,279 --> 00:08:23,600 for the release of the files. Massey will need a 151 00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:26,319 majority of House members to sign on to what's known 152 00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:30,680 as a discharge petition to force a floor vote. That 153 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,039 measure wouldn't be considered by the full House until after 154 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,440 Labor Day at the earliest if Massey is successful. Johnson's 155 00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:41,600 leadership team has been privately signaling that they would not 156 00:08:41,639 --> 00:08:45,360 bring up any Epstein measures this week. Two Republicans familiar 157 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,960 with the matter told CNN, now they have much bigger 158 00:08:49,039 --> 00:08:51,639 things to talk about, right, much bigger things to do. 159 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,440 Ten House Republicans have now signed onto Massey's measure, a 160 00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:58,519 level of GOP support that would trigger a full vote 161 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,399 by the GOP controlled House on the measure if all 162 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,279 Democrats supported it as expected, but don't expect a new 163 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,240 tranch of documents to immediately be made public. And these 164 00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:11,879 Democrats that are out here talking about, yeah, let's get 165 00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:15,080 on board, let's get this released. Great, but I don't 166 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,960 think they truly understand what's inside of those files. And 167 00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:20,960 in the words of Nancy Pelosi's daughter, some of our 168 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:26,000 faves are gonna be caught up. All vote to compel 169 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,360 the full House to consider the effort can't come until 170 00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:32,960 after Labor Day at the earliest, when lawmakers return from 171 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,240 their five week summer recess. What are they high school kids, 172 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,519 here's an idea. No more five week breaks. Keep your 173 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,639 ass in DC and get to work. That procedural maneuver 174 00:09:42,799 --> 00:09:47,200 requires seven legislative days before House lawmakers can formally collect 175 00:09:47,399 --> 00:09:51,159 the necessary signatures. Once they prove they have support from 176 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,120 two hundred and eighteen members, it would force party leaders 177 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,360 to bring it to the floor. Trump's Attorney general is 178 00:09:57,399 --> 00:10:00,480 asked for Grand Jerry material to be made public, which 179 00:10:00,519 --> 00:10:03,279 also is likely to be a slow moving effort and 180 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,240 one that requires court approval. But the Massi and Connor 181 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,639 of measure goes significantly further. Requiring the Trump administration to 182 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:18,279 release all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials related 183 00:10:18,279 --> 00:10:21,720 to Ebstein within thirty days. Yo, I'm all for that. 184 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,799 Let's get it all out there. Let the chips fall 185 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,279 wherever they fall, and whoever gets caught up gets caught up. 186 00:10:28,759 --> 00:10:31,039 It would also require the White House to release a 187 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,000 list of all government officials and politically exposed persons named 188 00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:39,000 or referenced in the release materials, a list that Trump's 189 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,840 base has been demanding. So what's the problem here. All 190 00:10:42,879 --> 00:10:44,919 of a sudden, you don't want it. All of a sudden, 191 00:10:44,919 --> 00:10:47,519 you don't want any information about Jeffrey Epstein, and we 192 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,679 should just move on. Sorry, you kick the door open. 193 00:10:51,039 --> 00:10:56,039 Now we're walking in Conna. Previously told Jay Tapper that 194 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,679 he would deliver all two hundred and twelve Democrats on 195 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,759 the measure. While men Democrats previously decry the promotion of 196 00:11:02,799 --> 00:11:06,679 conspiracy theories about Epstein, they have in recent days pushed 197 00:11:06,879 --> 00:11:10,120 for a greater transparency, arguing Trump is trying to protect 198 00:11:10,159 --> 00:11:13,559 himself and aiming to further drive a wedge between Trump 199 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,240 and his base. And that's really what it comes down to. 200 00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:20,960 They're just trying to sow seeds of discontent. The Democrats 201 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,279 don't really care about this. Anybody thinking they do is 202 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:31,000 being hustled. They care about politics, they care about optics, 203 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,480 they care about winning seats. They care about getting Trump 204 00:11:34,799 --> 00:11:37,480 into a position where he's playing defense. That's all they 205 00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:40,799 care about. But guess what, we can utilize that fake 206 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,399 outrage to try and muscle our way in and get 207 00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:46,759 some of these documents released. So if they want to 208 00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:49,879 be useful idiots and help us get these documents released, 209 00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:54,120 then so be it. But I promise you they're not 210 00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:59,039 gonna like what's in them. With all the Democrats behind 211 00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:01,960 the effort, ten Repblicans would be more than enough to 212 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,559 meet the necessary two hundred and eighteen threshold. Along with Massey. 213 00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:10,360 The Republicans already on board are Representatives Marjorie Taylor Green 214 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,279 of Georgia, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Eric Berlason of Missouri, 215 00:12:14,519 --> 00:12:18,600 Lauren Bobert of Colorado, Jeff Vandrew of New Jersey, Eli 216 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:23,039 Crane of Arizona, Corey Mills of Florida, Tom Barrett of Michigan, 217 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,480 Max Miller of Ohio, and Nancy Mace of South Carolina. 218 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,240 I think momentum will build for transparency. I don't think 219 00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:34,720 this is going away, Massy told CNN on Monday. And 220 00:12:34,799 --> 00:12:37,519 I think when we return in September, will get phase 221 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:42,039 two of the Epstein files. Boy. I hope so, and 222 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,000 I fully support mister Massey and his efforts. But I 223 00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:49,159 also think that we're dealing with an uphill battle. I'm 224 00:12:49,159 --> 00:12:51,960 not naive. I know that the powers that be they 225 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,919 don't want this information out there. The move, of course, 226 00:12:55,159 --> 00:12:57,720 could end, as many things in Congress do, with a 227 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:02,039 lot of talk but little corresponding act. Last week, Republicans 228 00:13:02,039 --> 00:13:05,000 held a vote to approve a nine billion dollar package 229 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,600 of spending cuts to foreign aid and public broadcasting, something 230 00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:11,720 Trump wanted. As they debated what to do on the 231 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,039 Epstein case, they settled for the non binding resolution calling 232 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,399 for the release of additional files, which doesn't immediately force 233 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,559 any action, and to which Johnson has been noncommittal. What 234 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,240 a coward. Mike Johnson's a straight up coward, Just another 235 00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:29,960 one of these talking heads that talks the talk but 236 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,440 refuses to walk the walk. Even continued talk of the 237 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,480 Epstein case, though, is likely to irge Trump. Over the weekend, 238 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,279 the President seemed to acknowledge the intractability of the subject, 239 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,399 as he noted he had ordered the release of grand 240 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,799 jury material. With that being said, and even if the 241 00:13:48,799 --> 00:13:52,279 court gave its full and unwavering approval, nothing will be 242 00:13:52,279 --> 00:13:55,720 good enough for the troublemakers and radical left lunatics making 243 00:13:55,759 --> 00:13:58,759 the request. It will always be more and more and more, 244 00:13:59,159 --> 00:14:02,759 maga Trump brot in his truth social platform. What does 245 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,759 that even mean? Sounds like the ramblings of a madman. 246 00:14:06,919 --> 00:14:10,080 More and more and more. How about some sum sum 247 00:14:10,159 --> 00:14:12,879 Nobody asked you for the grand jury documents? That was 248 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,960 your idea. Don't try and act like everybody's been out 249 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,799 here clamoring for that and you decided to just you know, 250 00:14:19,159 --> 00:14:23,720 give it up. What you're doing is stalling. Just release 251 00:14:23,799 --> 00:14:26,320 the document to be done with it. Either that or 252 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:31,759 prepare for more criticism, because it's certainly coming. But a 253 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,399 chorus of conservatives and moderate Republicans, including some of the 254 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,279 president's closest allies like Green, ratcheted up their demands for 255 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,679 the release of more information on Monday. Good for them. 256 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,000 Not everybody has to walk and lockstep with a president, 257 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,480 especially when he's wrong. And folks, I'm telling you right now, 258 00:14:49,519 --> 00:14:52,360 when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. Donald Trump is wrong. 259 00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:57,120 People want the information, they don't want things covered up, 260 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,879 especially when it comes to the most well known convict 261 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,480 pedophile in modern day history. Green told CNN noting that 262 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,600 the highest volume of recent constituent calls to her office 263 00:15:07,879 --> 00:15:11,720 have been about Epstein. Good for you, folks, keep calling, 264 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,360 keep the pressure on, and look, we're not asking for 265 00:15:14,399 --> 00:15:18,840 anything crazy, just whatever documentation you have for an investigation 266 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,399 that's already closed. They've given up the documentation on MLK, 267 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,000 They've turned over a bunch of stuff on John F. Kennedy. 268 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,159 Why not Epstein? The case is closed, right, nothing left 269 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,120 to see here? So what are you protecting and what 270 00:15:32,159 --> 00:15:36,080 are you hiding? Because the previous mattro was, oh, well, 271 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,080 this is an ongoing investigation and we can't give you 272 00:15:39,159 --> 00:15:43,200 any information. Then it was a national security issue. Now 273 00:15:43,759 --> 00:15:46,639 nothing exists and there's no documents for us to see. 274 00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:49,360 And if that's the case, then they've been lying about 275 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,559 the information this whole entire time, saying that it was 276 00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:56,919 national security, saying that it was an ongoing investigation, when 277 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,679 in fact no files even existed. So either way, you 278 00:15:59,799 --> 00:16:04,000 chi they're lying to you. The question is which liar 279 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,960 you willing to accept. Responding to Trump's frustration with even 280 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,360 his own supporters for not moving on from Epstein, Green 281 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,960 said she really likes Trump and thinks he's a great 282 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,720 pulse on things, but on this issue, the American people 283 00:16:19,039 --> 00:16:22,600 really want to see transparency. I think sunlight's a good medicine. 284 00:16:22,759 --> 00:16:27,600 Representative Don Bacon, a Swing district Republican who recently announced 285 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,919 his retirement, concurred, telling CNN he would vote for a 286 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,320 standalone bill to press the administration to release more Epstein information. 287 00:16:36,039 --> 00:16:38,519 I think there's too much conspiracy theory and it's just 288 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,879 better to put light on it. And that's what it 289 00:16:40,879 --> 00:16:45,440 should be. A standalone bill. Let these members of Congress 290 00:16:45,519 --> 00:16:49,720 vote on the merits of this information alone. Don't try 291 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,200 and pack it with other nonsense. Don't put any pork 292 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,399 in it. Standalone bill. That way, you don't give anybody 293 00:16:55,399 --> 00:16:58,320 an out. Nobody has any excuse. Well, I didn't vote 294 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,440 for this because such and such was at it to it. Nope, 295 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,599 nothing added to it. Standalone bill. Do you or do 296 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,519 you not support the release of Jeffrey Epstein information, Yes 297 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,200 or no. Bacon said that he thinks the Trump administration 298 00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:16,559 misled Americans into believing there was more to the Epstein case, 299 00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:19,559 adding it's a good lesson for everybody. It's better to 300 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,799 keep your powder dry and don't speak until you've got 301 00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:26,480 the facts. The problem is Trump has the facts. He 302 00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:30,680 was president already, They already knew what was in the files, 303 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,599 and they still went on talking all that bullshit he 304 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,640 happened in yapping on the campaign trail about Epstein this 305 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,720 and Epstein that. So, no, we're not going to forget 306 00:17:39,759 --> 00:17:43,880 about it, and nobody's moving on. Release the files. If 307 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,720 that happens, then we can talk about moving on. But 308 00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:51,599 until then, sorry. The Justice Department announced earlier this month 309 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,880 that there is no Epstein client list, even after Bondy 310 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,359 teased having that information on her desk and that the 311 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:03,319 accused sex trafficker was murdered in jail. The Nebraska Republican 312 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,559 noted that Congress has oversight authority, and those who are 313 00:18:06,559 --> 00:18:09,839 interested would have an opportunity to question Bondi when she 314 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:14,440 appears before the committee's overseeing the Department of Justice. Oh, 315 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,359 that's gonna work out. She's gonna have a lot of 316 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,480 answers for everybody, right, because you know, Pam Bondi is 317 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,799 so trustworthy when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, especially, I 318 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,279 just put all my faith in Pam Bondy and the 319 00:18:26,319 --> 00:18:30,200 current administration to give us the truth. Are there really 320 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,240 people out there who say that, now, after all we've 321 00:18:33,319 --> 00:18:38,400 just witnessed after this historic meltdown over Jeffrey Epstein, people 322 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,599 really think they're gonna get transparency? And people really think 323 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,160 that Barack Obama's gonna be arrested or that anybody who 324 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,160 was involved with that Steele dossier in any regard is 325 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,839 gonna go to prison. You really think that's gonna happen, 326 00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:55,200 And miraculously we just start talking about that again when 327 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,240 the Epstein files are dominating the news. Seems like a 328 00:18:58,279 --> 00:19:02,200 classic case of wagging the dog. But that misdirection doesn't 329 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,759 work around these parts, because we're going to continue swimming 330 00:19:05,759 --> 00:19:10,119 through all that muck looking for the clarity. All of 331 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,039 the information that goes with this episode can be found 332 00:19:13,519 --> 00:19:16,559 in the description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome to 333 00:19:16,559 --> 00:19:21,759 another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. Yo. Step right up, 334 00:19:21,839 --> 00:19:24,759 ladies and gentlemen, and behold the greatest show in Washington, 335 00:19:25,279 --> 00:19:28,759 the Congressional Traveling Circus. The lights are bright, the cameras 336 00:19:28,759 --> 00:19:32,079 are rolling, and the performers are praying at full volume 337 00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:36,880 about how they these fearless defenders of the innocence are 338 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,960 here to save the children. Watch as they pound podiums, 339 00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:44,079 clench their fists, and deliver fiery sermons about pizza parlor dungeons, 340 00:19:44,559 --> 00:19:49,359 ikea wardrobes, stuff with toddlers and satanic elites sipping adrinochrome 341 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,160 cocktails on secret islands. They howl like prophets in the desert, 342 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,799 warning us of a shadowy cabal that only they can see. 343 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,559 Their voice is trembling with foul conviction. It's theater, pure 344 00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:04,359 and simple, a morality play perform for television cameras and 345 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,839 fundraising blasts, and the audience, hungry for heroes, claps along, 346 00:20:09,319 --> 00:20:12,559 convinced that the loudest prayers must also be the bravest. 347 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,440 After all, who else would dare to call out the 348 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:20,000 demons supposedly lurking in every Pepperoni pizza. Who else would 349 00:20:20,079 --> 00:20:24,480 draw battle lines against haunted furniture and demonic memes. The 350 00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:28,640 lawmakers play the part of avenging angels with gusto weaving 351 00:20:28,759 --> 00:20:31,640 tell so absurd they make bad pulp fiction read like 352 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,680 the Gospel of John. And yet this is the con 353 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,559 They pour all their energy into fighting phantoms because phantoms 354 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,359 can't fight back. But then comes the test. Then comes 355 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,799 the evidence that is real, heavy, undeniable flight logs, bank wires, 356 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,240 sworn testimony from survivors who risked everything to speak. Now, 357 00:20:51,279 --> 00:20:53,680 this is where you would think that the roaring lions 358 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,440 of Congress should bear their teeth. This is where the 359 00:20:56,519 --> 00:20:59,960 self anointed guardians of innocence should rise up and prove 360 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,680 their words have weight. Instead, this is where the transformation begins. 361 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,319 Their thunder collapses into murmurs, their fists on clench, their eyes, 362 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,759 dart nervously towards donors, colleagues, and lobbyists. Suddenly the brave 363 00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:18,200 warriors look less like gladiators and more like children caught 364 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,359 cheating on a test. And it happens every time. Face 365 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,960 with ghosts, they howl like profits. Face with predators in suits, 366 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,920 they mumble like interns caught in the wrong meeting. They'll 367 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,200 rage for hours about pizza ovens and haunted wardrobes. But 368 00:21:33,319 --> 00:21:37,000 when the names of real institutions, real executives, real enablers 369 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,920 at the table, Suddenly it's complicated. Suddenly more time is needed. 370 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,759 Suddenly the guardians of morality are too busy protecting themselves 371 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,640 to protect a single child, And so the curtain rises 372 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,559 on the ugly truth. These aren't guardians, They're performers. Their 373 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,240 battle cry of protect the children is not a mission, 374 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,799 but a marketing strategy. It's a brand, a bumper sticker, 375 00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:04,200 a slogan polish for TV spots and town halls. Their 376 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,079 supposed war against evil is just another act in the 377 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,559 endless play of politics, loud, distracting and utterly useless when 378 00:22:11,559 --> 00:22:15,839 the real monsters step into the light. So let's talk 379 00:22:15,839 --> 00:22:20,000 about it. Lawmakers love nothing more than braying like circus 380 00:22:20,039 --> 00:22:23,480 donkeys about saving the children, as though they've stumbled upon 381 00:22:23,519 --> 00:22:27,160 a satanic Scooby Doo plot inside a chuck e cheese. 382 00:22:27,279 --> 00:22:30,839 The spectacle is always the same, faces, flush, red, voices 383 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,559 cracked from overhearsed outrage, microphones practically melting from the heat 384 00:22:35,759 --> 00:22:39,480 of their supposed moral fury. Oh, they shriek about pizza 385 00:22:39,519 --> 00:22:44,400 parlors doubling as child dungeons, about IKEA catalogs concealing dark secrets, 386 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:49,079 about Wayfair bookshelves arriving with three toddlers tucked inside the packaging. 387 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:54,200 They summon images of elites and cloaks, drinking adrinochrome cocktails 388 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,759 on mythical islands as though they themselves are starring in 389 00:22:57,799 --> 00:23:01,920 a low budget horror flick, and every time their followers 390 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,079 cheer like they've been handed the script to revelation itself. 391 00:23:05,599 --> 00:23:09,000 But here's where the curtain gets yanked back. The instant 392 00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:12,680 actual evidence shows up. Their thunder collapses into the squeak 393 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,880 of a balloon, losing error, survivor testimony, financial records, flight logs, 394 00:23:18,079 --> 00:23:21,920 court filings with real names. Suddenly, these warriors of innocence 395 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,079 lose their tongues. They shuffle their papers, stall for time, 396 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,799 mumble about jurisdictional hurdles, and look for the nearest exit. 397 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,759 The pizza goos vanish in a puff of smoke, and 398 00:23:31,839 --> 00:23:35,440 so does their courage. The heroic posturing shrivels faster than 399 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,359 a campaign promise. After election day, we got guys out 400 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,000 here like Tim Burchett, Bless his heart, one of the 401 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,000 most consistent characters of them all. This dude rides around 402 00:23:45,039 --> 00:23:48,240 on his skateboard and roar with old testament fire about 403 00:23:48,319 --> 00:23:52,079 shadowy cabals, wagging his finger at demons only he can see. 404 00:23:52,759 --> 00:23:56,119 But ask him about tangible evidence or about the billion 405 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,319 dollar institutions that actually move the money, enable the crimes, 406 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,880 and protect the abusers. Suddenly he's blinking like a deer 407 00:24:03,079 --> 00:24:07,039 on a six lane highway. Watching the transformation is almost 408 00:24:07,079 --> 00:24:11,519 slapstick Rambo one second, Ned Flanders the next. This shit 409 00:24:11,599 --> 00:24:14,960 would be hilarious if it weren't nauseating. And then, of 410 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,119 course we ought Mike Johnson, my man who treats protect 411 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,319 the children like it's a bumper sticker that he can 412 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,240 slap on everything from speeches to press releases to fundraising letters. 413 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,200 He delivers his lines with the smarmy sincerity of a 414 00:24:28,279 --> 00:24:32,559 Christmas movie, full of heartwarming phrases and empty promises. But 415 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,160 when pressed to take on the ugly reality the power brokers, 416 00:24:36,279 --> 00:24:39,480 the banks, the very system that allowed abuse to flourish, 417 00:24:39,519 --> 00:24:43,720 he collapses like wet cardboard. More time is needed, he mutters, 418 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,759 More time to do nothing, More time to protect donors, 419 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,960 more time to polish excuses, while children are left to 420 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,640 rotten silence. Theatrics are always safer when the enemy is imaginary. 421 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,920 Pizza ovens don't have lawyers, Ikia Furniture doesn't bank roll campaigns. 422 00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:05,759 Demonic memes can subpoena Congress. That's why lawmakers love to 423 00:25:05,759 --> 00:25:09,279 fight shadows. They carry no risks. Point out a real name, though, 424 00:25:09,519 --> 00:25:12,279 or a real boardroom with power, and suddenly the flames 425 00:25:12,279 --> 00:25:16,039 of justice fizzle into nervous laughter. It's almost as if 426 00:25:16,039 --> 00:25:19,920 these crusaders aren't crusaders at all, but props in their 427 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:24,640 own puppet show. And look, the spectacle borders on absurdist theater. 428 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,519 They charge onto podiums like wrestlers in a rigged match, 429 00:25:28,759 --> 00:25:33,200 flexing for cameras, snarling about demons, promising despite the evil 430 00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:36,759 lurking under your local strip mall. The crowd roars, the 431 00:25:36,799 --> 00:25:40,839 donor's cheer, the headlines right themselves. But when the lights 432 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,400 come up and the monsters are revealed, they're not wearing 433 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,039 horns or capes. They're wearing our Moani suits. They're sending 434 00:25:48,039 --> 00:25:51,359 campaign checks, and they're sitting just a few doors down 435 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:56,960 the hall. Suddenly are conquering heroes retreat backstage, whispering excuses, 436 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,440 waving their hands and pleading for patients, And what fills 437 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,839 the void is the echo of hollow outrage. The phrase 438 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,240 protect the children becomes less emission and more a slogan 439 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,480 costume jewelry for political cosplay. They put it on for 440 00:26:12,519 --> 00:26:15,720 photo wops, wear it to town halls, flaunt it at rallies, 441 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,519 and then stuff it back into the drawer. When confronted 442 00:26:18,559 --> 00:26:21,880 with something heavier than a sound bite. At the first 443 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,920 whiff of actual accountability, these mighty warriors collapse like scarecrows 444 00:26:26,079 --> 00:26:30,240 in a thunderstorm, loaded stuffed with straws, and incapable of 445 00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:34,240 holding up under pressure. Now, the cost of their cowardice 446 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:39,359 isn't theoretical, it's measured in human lives. Survivors who speak 447 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,359 out are left screaming into a void while lawmakers chase 448 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:47,119 pizza shop phantoms. Every hour wasted on phantom tunnels beneath 449 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,160 suburban restaurants is an hour stolen from investigating real predators. 450 00:26:52,079 --> 00:26:55,480 Every meme inspired hearing is another smoke screen shielding billion 451 00:26:55,519 --> 00:26:59,680 dollar enablers who keeps getting untouched, and effectively they become 452 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,160 thieves of time, and time is one thing that the 453 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,839 survivors don't have the luxury of wasting. Yo. The hypocrisy 454 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,079 is galling. Years ago, when people actually doing the work 455 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,480 pointed to Epstein, Maxwell Wexner and the financial networks that 456 00:27:14,519 --> 00:27:19,359 shielded them, the same lawmakers ignored the facts, They smeared investigators. 457 00:27:19,599 --> 00:27:23,160 They basically spat in the faces of survivors. Now with 458 00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:27,240 evidence unavoidable, once again, they're the moral crusaders, hoping the 459 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,480 public's memory is as short as their attention span. We're 460 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,839 talking about gas lighting at a national scale, and the 461 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,640 hearings are less about justice and more about performance. One 462 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,720 shrieks about Satan hiding in a pizza box, another warns 463 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,960 about IKEA closets doubling as child coffins, and not a 464 00:27:44,039 --> 00:27:47,839 single one addresses the Wall Street bankers who process predator 465 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,000 money like it was just another Tuesday. The clowns take 466 00:27:51,039 --> 00:27:54,279 their bows, the cameras cut away, and the ring masters. 467 00:27:54,519 --> 00:27:57,880 Those with real power, laugh all the way to the bank. 468 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,359 Like Scrooge McDuck, ask what truly frightens them, and it's 469 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,519 not the demons they invent with so much flair. It's 470 00:28:05,519 --> 00:28:07,640 the thought of standing up to someone who can actually 471 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:12,240 hurt their careers. Shadows are safe enemies, donors, lobbyists and 472 00:28:12,319 --> 00:28:15,799 judges or not. So they flinched, they deflect, They drown 473 00:28:15,839 --> 00:28:19,160 their cowardice and excuses about process and time. The goal 474 00:28:19,279 --> 00:28:21,720 is for justice not to die with a bang, but 475 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,920 with the committee hearing all these big mouths puff up 476 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,160 like action heroes, full of bluster and brimstone, roaring about 477 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,279 shadows and the balls. But the second that reality knocks 478 00:28:31,319 --> 00:28:34,000 on the door, they shrink in the mall cops patrolling 479 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,960 a food court, plastic badges, plastic authority, plastic courage. Now, 480 00:28:39,039 --> 00:28:42,079 make no mistake, they loved to role play being warriors, 481 00:28:42,319 --> 00:28:45,599 but the real battlefield terrifies them. They don't want justice, 482 00:28:45,799 --> 00:28:49,440 they want applause. And the patriotism they wrap themselves in 483 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,640 is just camouflage for fear. Scratch the surface of all 484 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,440 their grand standing and you'll find not conviction but terror. 485 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,720 Terror of lobbyists, terror of donors, terror of career ending 486 00:29:00,759 --> 00:29:04,119 headlines that cut too close to home. Protect the children 487 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,440 isn't about the kids. It's about protecting themselves. And nothing 488 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,680 makes that clearer than their endless refrain of more time. 489 00:29:12,079 --> 00:29:14,960 And we all know that their favorite magic trick is misdirection. 490 00:29:15,319 --> 00:29:18,519 Shout pizza often enough and maybe the public will forget 491 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,000 about stealed depositions and Jeffrey Epstein scream cabal loud enough, 492 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,759 and maybe no one asks why plea deals keep being 493 00:29:25,799 --> 00:29:30,000 handed out like Halloween candy, wave around the specterru of demons, 494 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,160 and maybe no one notices the predators shaking hands with 495 00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:36,640 power brokers in plain daylight. It's a con, and they 496 00:29:36,759 --> 00:29:39,960 run it with all the grace of carnival barkers selling 497 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,599 snake oil, and like all snake oil shows, the collateral 498 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,559 damage is real. Survivors get lumped in with lunatics, Real 499 00:29:47,599 --> 00:29:52,200 evidence is dismissed as conspiracy fodder. Genuine investigators are mocked 500 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,839 his cranks. The line between truth and fantasy gets blurred 501 00:29:56,119 --> 00:29:59,160 until the only people who benefit are the very monster is. 502 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,240 Congress tends to fight, and make no mistake about it. 503 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,119 It's not just negligence we're talking about here. We're talking 504 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,880 about sabotage. When pressed, when the spotlight burns too bright, 505 00:30:11,039 --> 00:30:15,119 they don't roar, They hiss, They slither. Fork tongue's dart. 506 00:30:15,279 --> 00:30:19,359 Excuses multiply, and cowardice drips from every syllable. If you 507 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,000 want to know why predators keeps getting free, look no 508 00:30:22,119 --> 00:30:25,079 further than the serpents in suits, too busy protecting their 509 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,279 hides to protect a single child. It's disgusting this charade 510 00:30:29,319 --> 00:30:33,000 they build. They've taken crimes against children the most horrifying 511 00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:37,039 reality imaginable and turned it into a fundraising gimmick. Protect 512 00:30:37,079 --> 00:30:39,920 the children is an a vow considering their behavior. When 513 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,799 it comes to Epstein, it's obviously just a bumper sticker, 514 00:30:43,759 --> 00:30:47,119 a T shirt slogan, a chief slogan for campaign rallies, 515 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,000 while the real work of justice rots in a lock 516 00:30:50,079 --> 00:30:55,680 filing cabinet. Every speech these brain clowns deliver is another betrayal. 517 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,799 Every slogan is another stab in the back of survivors. 518 00:30:59,279 --> 00:31:02,400 Every fake perform pformance of outrage is another signal to 519 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:07,119 predators that the system still has their back. So remember 520 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,880 this every time they thunder about saving the kids. Their 521 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,359 enemies are imaginary, their fury is staged, and their courage 522 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,079 is counterfeit. When the real evil shows up, these brand 523 00:31:18,119 --> 00:31:22,759 donkeys aren't warriors, They're collaborators. They don't protect children, they 524 00:31:22,839 --> 00:31:27,119 protect the system that destroys them. All of the information 525 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,160 that goes along with this episode can be found in 526 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,200 the description box.
