1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,280 Epstein Chronicles. You ever wake up, check the news and 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,919 realize that the world's just a giant ass rerun Sam Headlines, 4 00:00:11,199 --> 00:00:15,080 Sam Crooks, Sam Royal Circus, only this time the clown's 5 00:00:15,119 --> 00:00:19,719 wearing a crown and can't remember where he left his dignity. Yeah, 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,000 I'm talking about Prince Andrew, Britain's least employable man, now 7 00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:26,399 back in the spotlight thanks to some freshly dug up 8 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,000 emails with this good pal, Jeffrey. I totally didn't kill 9 00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:34,280 myself Epstein. You know, the one he supposedly cut ties with. Well, 10 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,039 it just so turns out that he lied, and the 11 00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:40,280 new emails they read like the worst buddy comedy script. 12 00:00:40,679 --> 00:00:43,880 We're in this together. Well play some more later, I mean, 13 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,439 come on, play some more later. What were they playing? Exactly? 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,840 Golf morality Twister, the how much can we get away 15 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,799 with before the peasants notice? Game? The sheer arrogance is stunning. 16 00:00:57,359 --> 00:01:00,280 The man's writing to a convicted predator like the Plan 17 00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:02,640 and a pool party in Hell, and we're supposed to 18 00:01:02,679 --> 00:01:05,359 believe he didn't know what was going on. Sure thing, 19 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,200 your highness, I guess the sweat just clouded your judgment. 20 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,439 Oh wait, that's right, he don't sweat. Every single time 21 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,239 this guy opens his mouth, it's like watching someone shovel 22 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,799 deeper into their own grave while insisting it's a wine cellar. 23 00:01:19,239 --> 00:01:21,959 We're in this together, Yeah, Andy, I bet you were, 24 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,959 and I bet Epstein was the one sending the invites. 25 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,400 It's always we, never me Coward's love company. And nothing 26 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,239 says moral backbone like hiding behind the title while your 27 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,879 friend's rotten the ground or undersealed indictments. And of course 28 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,359 it's the same old, same old from the palace. They're exasperated. 29 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,200 That's the word they use now, exasperated, as if the 30 00:01:43,239 --> 00:01:46,319 real tragedy here is how exhausting it must be trying 31 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,560 to defend the world's least charismatic prints. Imagine being the 32 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,959 press secretary trying to polish this turd for twenty years. 33 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,519 Every time you think you're done buffing, another email drops 34 00:01:56,519 --> 00:01:59,280 out of the sky like, hey, mate, can't wait to 35 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,560 hang out again. You just can't make this shit up. Meanwhile, 36 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,680 regular people are out here getting hauled into court over 37 00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:08,719 internet posts, and this dude's living in a mansion on 38 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,560 Crown Estate land like nothing's ever happened, you know. The 39 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,719 Royal family talks about service to the people. Yes, service 40 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,360 like the kind you get when you order food and 41 00:02:18,439 --> 00:02:22,360 it shows up cold, overpriced in three hours late. Andrew 42 00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:25,360 is the lukewarm soup of Royalty technically is still part 43 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,039 of the meal, but everyone wishes the waiter would just 44 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,120 take it away already. And still he sits there, puffing 45 00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:36,120 himself up, pretending he's been wronged, wronged, like the biggest 46 00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:38,800 injustice in his life is that people don't believe is 47 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,719 I don't recall routine anymore? News flash, Andy, the only 48 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,960 thing you've been victimized by is your own ego. The 49 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,240 rest of us we're just tired of footing the bill 50 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,000 for your little redemption tour while you hide behind the 51 00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:55,319 curtain of pomp and taxpayer funded linen. So yeah, Welcome 52 00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:58,919 to the latest episode of The Untouchables, Windsor Edition starring 53 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,879 Prince Andrew, the man who managed to turn We're in 54 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,840 this together into the new Royal motto for hypocrisy, brought 55 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,120 to you by a monarchy that keeps saying no one 56 00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:12,000 is above the law. Right before pouring another drink and 57 00:03:12,039 --> 00:03:15,879 asking if you could maybe just maybe look the other way, 58 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,199 because if this is what no one above the law 59 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,360 looks like, then maybe the law's just taking a long vacation, 60 00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:26,080 probably somewhere warm, quiet and far away from Royal Lodge, 61 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,280 you know where accountability goes to die and look like 62 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,439 most of you. I'm tired tired of being spoon fed 63 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,719 this royal fairytale garbage about how no one's above the law. 64 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,960 They say with such conviction too, like they're narrating some 65 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,199 moral bedtime story meant to make the peasants sleep soundly. Meanwhile, 66 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,400 Prince Andrew sitting in his palatial nest at Royal Lodge, 67 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,719 sipping tea and pretending the world doesn't see him for 68 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,000 what he is. A liar, a coward, and a scandal 69 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000 in a suit. We're told to believe that justice is blind, 70 00:03:58,599 --> 00:04:00,319 but it sure as hell seems to peque through the 71 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,520 blindfold when there's a crown involved. It's like watching a 72 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,560 fireman douts everyone's house but his buddies because he doesn't 73 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,080 want to make it awkward. Either those words mean something 74 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,000 or they're just another slogan stamped on a crooked billboard. 75 00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:15,919 To keep the middle class docile and distracted. No one 76 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,519 is above the law as a punchline, now, not a principle. 77 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,040 And Andrew's the joke that keeps on giving. And the 78 00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:26,639 new emails, holy hell, they're not just embarrassing, they're radioactive. 79 00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:30,920 They're the kind of receipts you slam down when somebody's 80 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,519 been lying straight to your face for years. We're in 81 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,079 this together, we'll play some more later. That's not a 82 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,519 lapse in judgment. What that is is a partnership. You 83 00:04:40,519 --> 00:04:43,000 don't write something like that to a convicted sex offender 84 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,399 unless you're completely detached from morality or confident that the 85 00:04:46,439 --> 00:04:49,600 system will catch everyone but you. The tone of those 86 00:04:49,639 --> 00:04:52,519 words is like two crooks planning their next heist, not 87 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,120 a remorseful princes breaking off a toxic friendship. It's him 88 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,920 saying we're still good mate, while the rest of us 89 00:04:58,959 --> 00:05:03,120 choke on the hypocrisy. It's revolting, like watching someone blow 90 00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:06,240 kisses at the gallows. And you know what makes it 91 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,680 even sicker, the word games, the polish lies, the years 92 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,800 of icut ties. I barely knew him, I wasn't aware 93 00:05:13,519 --> 00:05:17,360 all that sanctemonious posturing. While the inbox tells a whole 94 00:05:17,399 --> 00:05:20,279 different story. You don't stumble into an email saying we're 95 00:05:20,319 --> 00:05:23,120 in this together. You type that with purpose, with comfort, 96 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,839 with trust. You send it because you know no one's 97 00:05:25,879 --> 00:05:29,199 going to hold you accountable. That's a man who thought 98 00:05:29,399 --> 00:05:31,560 his last name was a force field and that the 99 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,879 rest of us would never see behind the curtain. The 100 00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:38,720 whole performance has turned into a Shakespearean farce, a comedy 101 00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:42,040 of corruption. They still expect us to curtsey, to bow, 102 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,879 to pretend. Duty and service are still words that mean 103 00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:48,240 something in that palace. But dignity is a part of 104 00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:51,279 the wardrobe. No matter how much gold you drape yourself in, 105 00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:55,040 you can't stitch integrity into a uniform or inherit it 106 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,319 through birthright. You earn it by doing right when no 107 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,319 one's watching. And Andrew, he pawned his way for access 108 00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:05,240 and excuses. The man could stand on the balcony covered 109 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,639 in metals and still look like a fraud wearing a 110 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,639 costume two sizes too big. Look, if any of us 111 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,279 had those kinds of emails sitting on his record, the 112 00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:16,800 only thing he'd be playing more of later would be 113 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,800 solitaire in a fucking jail cell. We'd be cuughed before 114 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,639 our lunch break. The cops would drag us out, the 115 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,920 press would have a field day, and the whole thing 116 00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:29,120 would be wrapped up before the weekend. But Andrew, he 117 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,399 gets a soft, focused apology, a polished statement, and a 118 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,079 quiet period to reflect at one of his estates. He 119 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,439 doesn't face consequences. He's treated like an unfortunate inconvenience that 120 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,199 just needs a bit of time to heal. Meanwhile, the 121 00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:46,399 rest of us would be begging for bell and don't 122 00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:49,319 tell me stepping back from royal duties his punishment. Please. 123 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,920 That's the equivalent of your boss telling you to take 124 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,639 a paid vacation after you burn down the warehouse. Step 125 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,839 back from what shaking hands and waving. He didn't lose 126 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,160 his freedom, he lost his schedule. The guy's basically been 127 00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:04,759 grounded from public events, and we're supposed to treat it 128 00:07:05,079 --> 00:07:08,079 like a life sentence. But here's a pro tip. You 129 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,120 don't fix a moral failure with a pr plan. You 130 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,600 fix it with the truth and a damn good lawyer 131 00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:16,720 if it comes to that. And look, this isn't just 132 00:07:16,759 --> 00:07:19,839 about one man's disgrace. It's an infection that's spread through 133 00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:23,160 the royal bloodstream. The whole family name looks like it's 134 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,519 been dragged through the mud, and every time they try 135 00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:28,560 to clean it, it just smears more. They're supposed to 136 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,399 represent duty, honor, and service, but right now they represent 137 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,319 one thing, cover ups. When the cameras roll, they perform 138 00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:39,560 outrage and sorrow. But behind the palace doors, it's all 139 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:44,199 about damage control, not justice. And I love how they 140 00:07:44,199 --> 00:07:47,639 cry privacy every time someone asks the hard questions privacy. 141 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,360 You forfeited privacy when your personal disgrace started shaping public trust. 142 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,920 Privacy is in a shield from accountability. It's right for 143 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,480 people who didn't abuse their power. When you've got the 144 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,120 wearing this together in your inbox and we'll play some 145 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,160 more later. Floating around you don't get to retreat behind 146 00:08:06,199 --> 00:08:09,160 closed curtains. You brought the world into your mess, and 147 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,360 how the world gets to ask you why you're still 148 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,120 living reund free on the taxpayer's dime. And look, those 149 00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:18,959 emails aren't mere words, they're time bombs. They blow up 150 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,240 every excuse, every carefully crafted statement, every I didn't know 151 00:08:23,399 --> 00:08:27,319 line that's been rehearsed to death. We barely knew each other. Really, 152 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,519 then why are you talking about future plans, Andrew, why 153 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,080 were you laughing it up with the guy everyone knew 154 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,080 was a predator and the Royal Lodge. Don't even get 155 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,320 me started. The fact that this man still gets to 156 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,919 park is disgraced. We're in there is an insult to 157 00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:45,879 everyone who's ever been told the law is fair. Is 158 00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:48,399 there some secret switch in that mansion that turns the 159 00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:51,639 poenas into smoke? How is this guy still living in 160 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,840 a country squire while the world picks through his dirty laundry. 161 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,759 If no one is above the law, and it means anything, 162 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,559 then maybe someone should try enforcing it somewhere north of Kensington. 163 00:09:02,639 --> 00:09:04,960 And if you listen close enough, you can already hear 164 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,039 the establishment's next move. Another round, the rehearsed statements about healing, 165 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,879 moving forward and lessons learned. Yeah, the lessons we've learned 166 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,759 is that power always finds a way to protect itself. 167 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,679 The law bends for crowns, wallets and connections. Every time 168 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,080 they shrug this off as a private matter, it tells 169 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,519 the rest of us we're not part of the same system. 170 00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:29,639 They've got a velvet rope around their justice. But here's 171 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,720 the thing, it's not complicated. The evidence is out there. 172 00:09:32,759 --> 00:09:36,039 The timeline's clear, the survivor's pain has been public for years, 173 00:09:36,519 --> 00:09:39,799 but nothing ever happens because the system gets stage fright 174 00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:42,440 when the accused as the title. They treat it like 175 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,080 a delegate negotiation instead of what it is a crime 176 00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:49,320 that deserves a court room. You don't need a royal historian. 177 00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:53,120 What you need is a prosecutor with a backbone. And 178 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,960 don't hand me the due process talking point like it's 179 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,480 a magic shield. That's what I want, real due process, 180 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,159 not the royal version with butlers carrying subpoenas on silver trays, 181 00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:06,000 not the let's keep this quiet for the sake of 182 00:10:06,039 --> 00:10:09,440 the institution variety. I want the kind that doesn't care 183 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,519 about lineage or legacy, just facts and evidence and consequences. 184 00:10:13,639 --> 00:10:16,240 And if that's too much to ask, then stop pretending 185 00:10:16,639 --> 00:10:19,519 that any of these countries run on justice and start 186 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:24,320 admitting it runs on the hierarchy. Because actual accountability isn't 187 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,639 complicated either. It's transparency, it's questioning under oath. It's a 188 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,840 system that doesn't flinch when the accused where's the title. 189 00:10:32,919 --> 00:10:35,240 Let him face the same legal light as anyone else. 190 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,720 Let the chips fall where they may. We've been spoon 191 00:10:38,799 --> 00:10:41,279 fed the myth of fairness for far too long. It's 192 00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:43,440 time to see if the law's teeth are real or 193 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,679 just for show. Because if this is in the final nail, 194 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,960 then what the hell is how much clearer does it 195 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,639 need to get? If we're in this together? Doesn't scream complicity? 196 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,080 What does do we need a sign confession carved into 197 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:02,039 Buckingham's gates. Look, there's a line between plausible deniability and 198 00:11:02,159 --> 00:11:06,600 public mockery. And Andrew crossed that shit about ten scandals ago. 199 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,879 The question now isn't whether he's guilty, it's whether anyone 200 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,519 has the guts to act on it. And of course 201 00:11:12,519 --> 00:11:15,240 we have the same royal PR machine that lectures the 202 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,480 public about values and duty now bending over backward to 203 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,120 explain how this isn't that bad. I guess values only 204 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,519 count when they're printed on charity banners, not when they 205 00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:30,200 cost the family face. The monarchy survives everything except accountability, 206 00:11:31,159 --> 00:11:34,559 and meanwhile, the survivors, the real people, are still out 207 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,720 here living with what happened. Listening to lawyers and PR 208 00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:42,120 teams twists the story into knots. Every polished apology is hollow. 209 00:11:42,519 --> 00:11:45,639 Every we regret statement is just another knife in the back. 210 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,320 And that's what discussed me, not just the scandal itself, 211 00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:53,240 but the insult of it all. You know, the way 212 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,399 justice turns polite when power walks into the room. It's 213 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,120 like the scales of justice aren't broken. They just come 214 00:11:59,159 --> 00:12:01,600 with a royal setting. The rest of us can rotten 215 00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:04,919 holding cells, but his Royal Highness gets therapy and time 216 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,320 away from public view. And here is my middle class conclusion. 217 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,240 Plain is day. If those emls are real, and we 218 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,159 know they are, then the next move shouldn't be another statement, 219 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,639 another source close to the palace, or another polished interview 220 00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:22,279 where he pretends to sweat honesty. The next move should 221 00:12:22,279 --> 00:12:25,200 be a subpoena, a court room and a record of truth. 222 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,840 Justice shouldn't care about the crown. It should care about 223 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,840 the crime. If that means the Royal Lodge gets a 224 00:12:31,879 --> 00:12:36,039 new occupant, good let it. Palaces should be homes, not hideouts. 225 00:12:36,799 --> 00:12:39,960 The people of the UK pay taxes, rent in consequences. 226 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,279 It's about damn time someone in Silk paid the latter. 227 00:12:43,919 --> 00:12:46,159 You said no one is above the law, prove it 228 00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:49,799 or admit the truth that in Britain some people still are, 229 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,679 and the rest of us are just the audience, and 230 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,919 they're never ending disgraceful play.
