1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,759 Epstein Chronicles. So Slick Willie gave his deposition yesterday, and 3 00:00:08,839 --> 00:00:11,560 everybody seems to have a big opinion about what was 4 00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:15,880 said or what wasn't said. Meanwhile, we haven't even seen 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,120 the transcripts or the video yet, so how do we know. 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,839 All we have are sound bites from elected officials who 7 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,399 obviously have skin in the game both ways, and who 8 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,760 both have motivation to spin the truth into a narrative 9 00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:35,399 that fits what they want us to believe. So I'm 10 00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:38,000 not taking too much from the Hillary Clinton or Bill 11 00:00:38,039 --> 00:00:40,920 Clinton deposition yet until I can see the transcripts and 12 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,240 the video for myself. I'm not going to be dog 13 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,679 walked by a bunch of people in the legacy media 14 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,200 that really have no idea what they're talking about anyway, 15 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,240 So I'm going to wait until we get the transcripts 16 00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:55,600 before I have a heavy opinion one way or the other. 17 00:00:56,039 --> 00:00:59,640 Now that said, let's do a brief overview of what 18 00:00:59,679 --> 00:01:03,159 went and some of the things that are coming out. 19 00:01:03,479 --> 00:01:05,640 And to do that, we're going to use an article 20 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,799 from the AP headline Bill Clinton says he did nothing 21 00:01:09,879 --> 00:01:13,519 wrong with Epstein as he faced grilling over their relationship. 22 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,439 This article was authored by Stephen Groves. Former President Bill 23 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,359 Clinton told members of Congress on Friday he did nothing 24 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,840 wrong in his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and saw no 25 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,920 signs of Epstein's sexual abuse, as he faced hours of 26 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,280 grilling from lawmakers over his connections to the disgraced financier 27 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:41,680 from more than two decades ago. Okay, I don't believe him, 28 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,519 but that's what he says. He had no idea what 29 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,400 Jeffrey Epstein was up to at all. Huh, no clue, 30 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,959 Former President of the United States, You mean to tell me. 31 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,480 Nobody in his security detail ran a report on who 32 00:01:55,519 --> 00:01:59,519 Jeffrey Epstein was. I mean, of course, he can say that, 33 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,040 but if you believe him, that's up to you personally. 34 00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:05,239 I do not believe him. Now. I'm not saying Bill 35 00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:09,039 Clinton saw Jeffrey Epstein abusing girls, but he knew that 36 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,879 Jeffrey Epstein was a criminal. Come on, everybody knew that. 37 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,639 Everybody knew he was running money, everybody knew who he 38 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,639 was bundling, everybody knew about his ties to gun runners. 39 00:02:20,159 --> 00:02:23,360 So please stop the nonsense. I saw nothing and I 40 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,319 did nothing wrong. The former Democratic president said in an 41 00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:29,680 opening statement he shared on social media. The closed door 42 00:02:29,719 --> 00:02:33,639 deposition ended after more than six hours of questioning from lawmakers, 43 00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:37,560 who said he answered every question posed to him. Well, 44 00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:40,439 that's good, and look, props for Bill Clinton for finally 45 00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:43,000 sitting down for this deposition. But why did it have 46 00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:45,159 to take this long. Why couldn't he have just come 47 00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:47,800 forward years ago and laid it all out. Look, this 48 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,759 is what was happening. I did nothing wrong and I 49 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,560 have nothing to hide. But instead he sent out that 50 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,759 angel Urina dude to tell us a bunch of bullshit 51 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,400 and lies, and they're still lying about the depths of 52 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:06,360 their relationship. I can tell you right now that the Clintons, 53 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,199 including Hillary Clinton, vacation that Zoro ranch, and this is 54 00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:14,159 from sources that were at the ranch at the time, 55 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,159 so they can say whatever they want, but we know 56 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,759 the truth now. Of course, again, that does not mean 57 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,199 that Bill Clinton was sitting in some room with Jeffrey 58 00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:28,599 Epstein and abusing girls. And I've been very consistent saying 59 00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:32,639 that as much as I don't like Bill Clinton, balls 60 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:38,000 are balls and strikes or strikes. The deposition in the 61 00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:41,159 Clinton's hometown of Chappaqua New York marked the first time 62 00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:44,120 a former president has been compelled to testify to Congress. 63 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,639 It came a day after Clinton's wife, former Secretary of 64 00:03:47,719 --> 00:03:51,000 State Hillary Clinton, sat with lawmakers for her own deposition. 65 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,960 And again, same with that deposition. We don't really know 66 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,919 what's what yet, So I'm going to reserve having a 67 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,000 heavy opinion until I get those transcripts, because it seems 68 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,439 like right now people are just talking about the things 69 00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:06,159 that they want to be true and ignoring anything else. 70 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,719 But that's not how it works, right. We have to 71 00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:10,800 look at the whole thing, the whole deposition for what 72 00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:14,639 it is, a whole deposition. That way, we have context 73 00:04:14,639 --> 00:04:18,439 and we know exactly what we're talking about. Bill Clinton 74 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,439 has also not been accused of any wrongdoing, and Republican 75 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,639 members of the House Oversight Committee did not immediately level 76 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,160 any accusations against the Clintons as they departed Chappaqua. They 77 00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:32,199 planned to review the depositions, but said their attention was 78 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,959 mostly shifting to other individuals, well not Less Wexner. Huh, 79 00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:40,839 that's convenient. Somebody should ask James Comer about that. And 80 00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:42,879 you see all these Republicans that showed up in New 81 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:48,519 York why weren't they down in Ohio? No representative Luna 82 00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:52,160 down in Ohio? Was she too busy with interdimensional beings 83 00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:56,079 and falsely painting Epstein survivors as traffickers. I mean, it's 84 00:04:56,079 --> 00:04:58,160 awesome that she made some time to get away from 85 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,199 her influencerr life on the internet to get to New York. 86 00:05:01,399 --> 00:05:05,160 But it would have been nice if these GOP committee 87 00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:07,920 members would have went down to Ohio as well. So 88 00:05:08,079 --> 00:05:10,800 anything that Luna says I would take with a grand assault. 89 00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:14,000 She's not a serious person, not at all. In fact, 90 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,040 she's caused a lot of damage by lobbing a grenade 91 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,879 and trying to act like all these survivors were traffickers. 92 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,160 You need to be very clear when you're talking like that. 93 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,279 I mean, we've already seen that commentary be twisted and 94 00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:32,360 turned and weaponized against the survivors. But nobody's calling Luna out. 95 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,560 I guess I will. This lady is reckless and she 96 00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:39,240 doesn't deserve to be anywhere near this story. She should 97 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,399 work on other things because this is way above her head. 98 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,959 Lawmakers are grappling with what accountability in the United States 99 00:05:48,959 --> 00:05:51,480 looks like at a time when men around the world 100 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,519 have been toppled from their high power posts for maintaining 101 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,839 their connections with Epstein after he pleaded guilty in two 102 00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:01,000 thousand and eight to stay charges in Florida for soliciting 103 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,000 prostitution from an underage girl, raping an underage girl. Let's 104 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,879 just call it what it is, holy shit. So if 105 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,839 it was your daughter, would you say that Jeffrey Epstein 106 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,120 solicited prostitution from an underage girl? Or would you say 107 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,680 that he raped your daughter. We have questions about anyone 108 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,800 who spent time with Epstein post conviction, said Republican James Comer, 109 00:06:21,079 --> 00:06:23,759 the chair of the House Oversight Committee. Once you knew 110 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,680 Jeffrey Epstein was a sex offender, why did you continue 111 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,519 the relationship? Well, that's a good question. Why don't you 112 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,680 ask Howard Lutnik? Stupid? I don't think these guys understand 113 00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:38,439 that they're lighting whatever little legacy they have on fire. 114 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,920 When historians come back and look at this time period, 115 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,639 it's not going to end well for these dudes. Bill Clinton, 116 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,120 in his opening statement, said that he had long stopped 117 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,800 associating with Epstein by the time of his two thousand 118 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,399 and eight guilty plea. He also said it would be 119 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,279 difficult to recall the specifics of events from more than 120 00:06:55,319 --> 00:06:58,160 twenty years ago, but expressed certainty that he had not 121 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,600 witnessed signs of Epstein's bit. No, not at all. I 122 00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:05,959 saw nothing. Ah, I was an Arkansas. I had no 123 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,920 idea what was going on as he's getting a massage 124 00:07:09,519 --> 00:07:13,879 from a traffic girl. I mean, come on, dude, It's 125 00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:16,560 one thing to say you didn't you know partake. It's 126 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,399 a whole other thing to try and lie to me 127 00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:21,319 and say you didn't know what was going on, or 128 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,800 at least suspect, because there's no way that anybody that 129 00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:28,279 was around Epstein thought that Jeffrey Epstein had all these 130 00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:32,519 beautiful women around him because he was some kind of casanova. Okay. 131 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,360 Bill Clinton, in his opening statement, said that he had 132 00:07:35,439 --> 00:07:38,160 long stopped associating with Epstein by the time of his 133 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,600 two thousand and eight guilty plea. He also said it 134 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,639 would be difficult to recall the specifics of events from 135 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,639 more than twenty years ago, but express certainty that he 136 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,560 had not witnessed signs of Epstein's abuse. Republican John Maguire 137 00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:55,040 accused Bill Clinton of having selective memory during the questioning, 138 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,319 but other GOP members departed, acknowledging that he had handled 139 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,079 the deposition with skill and candor. Comer called Bill Clinton charming. 140 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,480 During the questioning, Clinton was quite candid, perhaps more candid 141 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,839 than his attorneys were comfortable Seed Republican Representative Nick Langworthy, Well, 142 00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:16,839 that's good to hear, and he should be, especially since 143 00:08:16,839 --> 00:08:21,160 he says he has nothing to hide. Republicans have wanted 144 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,319 to question Bill Clinton about Epstein for years, especially as 145 00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:29,120 conspiracy theories arose following Epstein's twenty nineteen suicide allegedly in 146 00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:32,200 a New York jail cell while he faced sex trafficking charges. 147 00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:35,919 Those calls reached a fever pitch late last year when 148 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,039 several photos of the former president surfaced in the Department 149 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,320 of Justice first release of the case on Epstein and Maxwell. 150 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,399 A British socialite. You mean, child abuser, all around scusbag, 151 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,080 bipedal serpent, that's what you mean, who was convicted of 152 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,279 sex trafficking in December of twenty twenty one, but maintains 153 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,200 that she's innocent. Bill Clinton was photographed on a plane 154 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,440 seated along i woman whose faces redacted, his arm around her. 155 00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:06,720 Another photo showed Clinton and Maxwell in a pool with 156 00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:12,279 another person whose face was redacted. Epstein also visited the 157 00:09:12,279 --> 00:09:16,279 White House several times during President Clinton's presidency, and the 158 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:21,080 pair later made several international trips together for their humanitarian work. 159 00:09:21,639 --> 00:09:25,360 Comer claimed the committee has collected evidence that Epstein visited 160 00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:28,799 the White House seventeen times and that Bill Clinton flew 161 00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:34,039 on Epstein's airplane twenty seven times. Democratic lawmakers said they 162 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,440 also pose tough questions to Bill Clinton about his relationship 163 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,039 with Epstein and Maxwell. I bet you none of them 164 00:09:40,039 --> 00:09:44,679 asked if Bill Clinton was romantically involved with Glenn Maxwell, 165 00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:47,519 because that's one of the rumors we heard, and again 166 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,120 that was brought to us by the Daily Beast. Not 167 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:57,559 exactly a bastion of conservatism. We were only here because 168 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,679 he hid it from everyone so well, for so long, 169 00:09:59,759 --> 00:10:02,639 Bill Bill Clinton said in his opening statement, And by 170 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,679 the time it came to light with this two thousand 171 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,679 and eight guilty plea, I had long stopped associating with him. 172 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,039 Bill Clinton also went after Comer for calling his wife 173 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,679 before the committee, telling him that including her was simply 174 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,559 not right. Comer said the committee was working to quickly 175 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,080 publish a transcript and video recording of both days of depositions. Well, 176 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,159 that's what I want. I'm not going to sit here 177 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,159 and tell you guys one way or the other what 178 00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:31,639 went down, because we just don't know yet. We have 179 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,720 an idea, but we don't know the nuance, we don't 180 00:10:34,759 --> 00:10:37,720 know the back and forth. So I'm going to reserve 181 00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:40,320 heavy criticism one way or the other until we have 182 00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:45,279 the facts. I know. That's shocking to hear. Democrats who 183 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,879 have supported the push to get answers from Bill Clinton 184 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,240 are arguing that it sets precedent that should apply to 185 00:10:51,399 --> 00:10:55,799 President Trump, a Republican who had his own relationship with Epstein. 186 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,919 I think that President Trump needs to man up, get 187 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,039 in front of this committee and answer the questions and 188 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,240 stop calling this investigation a hoax, said Representative Robert Garcia, 189 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,039 the top Democrat on the committee, on Friday. Comer has 190 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,960 pushed back on that idea, saying that Trump has answered 191 00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:17,080 questions on Epstein from the press. No, he hasn't, absolutely not. 192 00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:20,080 And if you think the right is gonna wiggle out 193 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,480 of having Trump get deposed at some point over this, 194 00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:28,480 you're wrong. They opened that door and now they're gonna 195 00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:35,399 have to walk through it. Trump on Friday expressed remorse 196 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,519 at Bill Clinton being forced to testify. I like Bill Clinton, 197 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,600 and I don't like seeing him deposed, he told reporters 198 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,399 as he departed the White House and route the Corpus Christi. 199 00:11:44,519 --> 00:11:49,000 Texas Democrats are also calling for the resignation of Trump's 200 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,919 Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick. Lutnick was a longtime neighbor of 201 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,320 Epstein in New York City, but said on a podcast 202 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,200 that he severed ties with Epstein following a two thousand 203 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,679 and five tour of Epstein's home that disturbed Lutnick and 204 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:08,960 his wife. Well, that's a lie. Just about everything Lutnick 205 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,679 has told us about Epstein and his relationship is a lie. 206 00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:15,840 So if anybody should be testifying right now, certainly Lutnick. 207 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,799 The public release of the case files showed that Lutnick 208 00:12:20,919 --> 00:12:24,559 actually had two engagements with Epstein. Years later, he attended 209 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,000 a twenty eleven event at Epstein's home, and in twenty 210 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,960 twelve his family had lunch with Epstein on his private island, 211 00:12:32,159 --> 00:12:35,960 and they were also involved in a business together. Adfinn, Well, 212 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,240 you don't want to add that here, not part of 213 00:12:38,279 --> 00:12:41,279 the story. He should be removed from office, and at 214 00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:44,559 a minimum, should come before the committee, Garcia said of Lutnik. 215 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:50,039 Republican Representative Nancy Mace questioned Tillary Clinton about Lutnick's relationship 216 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,720 to Epstein during the deposition on Thursday. On Friday morning, 217 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,720 Mace joined in calling for the Commerce Secretary to come 218 00:12:56,879 --> 00:12:59,879 before the committee. I believe we will have the votes 219 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,360 to subpoena him. Democratic Representative ro Kanna said, and they should. 220 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,480 Howard Lutnik has obviously lied, so he needs to be 221 00:13:08,519 --> 00:13:11,039 called before the committee, put under oath, and let's get 222 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,879 to the bottom of it. So I think we're going 223 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,639 to wrap up right here, and once we get the 224 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:20,159 deposition transcripts in hand, we'll go through the deposition transcripts 225 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,879 right here on air, every single word, and then of 226 00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:25,840 course we'll break it down afterwards like we always do 227 00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:29,399 when we have all the information available to us. But 228 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,879 from the initial view here, from the initial reporting, it 229 00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:36,519 doesn't look like they got much, doesn't look like much 230 00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:39,720 was accomplished. So we'll see what the transcripts say when 231 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,840 they come out, but until then, that's going to do 232 00:13:42,879 --> 00:13:45,679 it for this one. All the information that goes with 233 00:13:45,759 --> 00:13:49,200 this episode can be found in the description box.
