Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. By any standard of political judgment, cure Starmer's
decision to bring Peter and Mandelssohn back into the corridors
of power is unforgivable. We're not talking about a small misstep.
It's not a minor lapse in judgment. It's a flashing
neon sign that the Prime Minister is unfit for the
office that he holds. By appointing Mandelssyn's Starmer hasn't just
shown poor taste. He's demonstrated an alarming disregard for integrity, accountability,
and the very people he is supposed to serve. Peter
Mandelssohn is not a neutral figure. He's not some benign
statesman brought in for his wisdom. He's the embodiment of
the back room politics and corrosive cronyism that helps shatter
the public's faith in Westminster in the first place. His
name is synonymous with sleeves, triangulation and the kind of
deal making that puts the interest of insiders above those
of ordinary citizens. To elevate him is to send a
message that nothing has been learned, nothing has been changed,
and the political class is still determined or recycle its
most tainted operatives while the country cries out for something new. Now,
for Starmer to open the doors of government to Mandelssohn
is not only tone deaf, it's politically suicidal. At a
time when trust in institutions is scraping the floor, when
millions of people are disillusioned with politics as usual, he's
chosen to embrace the very symbol of the rot. The
timing is as offensive as the act itself. Britain is
staring down crisis on every front, economic uncertainty, social fracture,
international instability, and the Prime Minister's answer is to summon
a relic of the worst kind of politics back into
the fold. Now, this appointment lays bears Starmer's character, or
rather his lack of it. It shows him for what
he is, not a leader of conviction, not a man
of principle, but a political operator, more interested in stitching
together alliances with discredited power brokers then an offering real change.
The appointment is not a mistake born of ignorance. It's
a choice born of calculation, and that calculation reveals a
hollowness at the heart of his leadership and let us
be blunt. The public sees it too. The fury this
is unleashed is no mystery. People are sick of it.
They're tired of watching their leaders wrap themselves in the
same stained cloak of inside our politics, as if the
failures of the past never happened. Mandelsshn is not some
brilliant strategist waiting to be rediscovered. He's a warning sign.
He's a living reminder of why faith in Westminster collapsed
in the first place. By appointing Mandelssohn's Starmer has taken
ownership of that legacy of sleeves. It's his now. Every
word that drips from Mandelssohn's mouth, every whisper of scandal
that follows them, will cling not only to Mandelsh himself,
but to the Prime Minister who legitimized them. It's a
self inflicted wound and it might be politically mortal. So
what now? The answer is simple. Starmer must resign, not tomorrow,
not next week. Now. He cannot continue as Prime Minister
after making such a reckless, insulting choice. Britain needs leadership
that inspires confidence not discussed. The English need a government
that signals renewal, not regression. Starmer has proven that he's
incapable of providing it. If the Prime Minister truly cares
about the country and not just about clinging to power,
he will accept that his decision has destroyed his credibility
beyond repair. The public does not want mandelssh anywhere in
your power, and they certainly don't want a prime minister
who thought bringing back Mandelsshn was acceptable. Cure. Starmer's time
is up. He walked into Downing Street promising to be different.
By bringing Mandelssyn back, he is proven he is anything but.
The betrayal is complete, the mask is slip, and the
damage is irreversible. The honorable thing left for him to
do is step down before the people do it for him.
Today's article is from The Independent, and the headline Starmer
breaks silence over Mandlssoon's sacking. Had I known what I
know now, I'd have never appointed him. Bro, you knew.
What are you even talking about right now? All these
people with the oh I didn't knows, You knew, you
didn't care. You just happened to get caught. This article
was authored by David Maddox and Millie Cook, Sir Kiris
Starmer insisted he would never have appointed Peter Mandelsson as
US ambassador if he had known the full extent of
his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, in his first public comments
since the sacking of the Labor Peer. As he sought
to get back on the front foot after his Phase
two plan for government got off to a chaotic start,
the Prime Minister attempted to move on from the fiasco
hours before Donald Trump's historic second state visit. So there's
all kinds of stuff going on right now, right over
in the UK. They're fired up. They just had a
big ass rally on Saturday, and of course the media
said there was only one hundred and ten thousand people there,
but some of the videos I saw seem like a
lot more people than that. So I'm guessing it's somewhere
in the middle. Right, you had one side, the people
that put the rally together. They were talking about three
million people and maybe it was. I don't know. I'm
not locked into British politics that way, but I will
tell you this, it was more than one hundred and
ten thousand people. And people are pissed off, people are
fired up, and people have had enough. And then you
add this on top of it, this kind of decision
making Starmer's in for it. But even as he tried
to bolster his position, he was rocked by yet another
resignation when Kiaid Paul Ovinden quit his head of strategy
in a fresh scandal over obscene emails about veteran MP
Diane Abbott. So, listen, Americans, if you thought we were
the only ones that were being hampered by ineffective leadership
by people who didn't give a fuck, you're crazy happening everywhere.
There's too many people that are in politics that care
about themselves and not about anybody else. And we have
a situation where these people get into politics and they
become rich. That was never supposed to be the way
it worked. It was supposed to be your neighbor who
runs for Congress or somebody in your district. Now you
have lawyers and doctors and that's pretty much it. And
of course none of these people have any idea what
the rest of us are going through, so they live
in their bubble and then when some shit like this happens,
they act all surprised. Well, breaking news bro spending time
with Jeffrey Epstein and accepting money from him and calling
him your bestie. It's not going to get it done anymore.
And when that kind of stuff comes out, people are
going to demand accountability and they should. On Monday night,
amid calls from some backbenchers for Sir Kir to resign,
the Prime Minister insisted he would not quit, adding I'm
absolutely clear what the task is in front of me.
The dramatic developments came as Nigel Frag pressed home as
Pole advantage by unveiling the first affection of a sitting
MP to reform. Now, all of this is English politics
and I'm not going to get too deep into it
because I don't know enough about it, but I'll give
you the bullet points. Questions were raised about Lord Mandelson's
dynamite Epstein emails landed on the PM's desk. Labour MPs
publicly and privately suggested Sir Kir could be out in months,
with one minister calling him screwed. Tory MP David Davis
secured a parliamentary debate on Lord Mandelsson's appointment as ambassador
to the US. The three hour emergency debate will take
place on Tuesday afternoon and see Kira's government grilled over precisely,
who knew what about Lord Mandelsson's relationship with Epstein and
when it will see further pressure piled on the already
struggling PM. Well guess what you put him in that position? Right?
You made that decision. Now you got to answer for it. Meanwhile,
two of Britain's leading pollsters warrant Labor is facing even
worse problems with voters, with one suggesting the party is
yet to hit rock bottom with the crisis over Lord
Mandelsshon throwing serious questions on his judgment as Prime Minister.
Sir Ekir held a morning meeting with his junior ministers
in Downing Street to rally the troops. Well here's an idea,
just be truthful. I know it's very difficult for these people,
but if you're just truthful and you tell us what's
going on, then you're gonna be a lot better off
later on down the road. It might suck at first,
but people are going to realize, Look, at least his
motherfucker was transparent, came out and told us right away
what the deal was. But no, it's always obfuscation. It's
always kicking the can down the road, and it's always denied, denied, deny.
In the afternoon, he came out to address the concerns
which had been raised about the Lord Mandelsson debacle and
what he knew before appointing him as ambassador to the
US and then standing by him at PMQ's last Wednesday,
before ultimately sacking the Labor peer on Thursday. And that's
the problem. He doubled down on the support, right, you
can't trop this dude out and be like, oh, yeah,
I support him, and then flip the script a few
weeks later and act like you didn't know what was
going on. You knew, you didn't care. You care now
because you're getting your ass whipped in the polls. But
besides that, you didn't give one single shit. Maybe you
guys should stop focusing on what people are typing on
the internet over in the UK and start focusing on
the shit that matters. He insisted he would have never
appointed Lord Mandelson had I known then what I know
now in his first comments in sacking him over his
links to Jeffrey Epstein. We all knew previously about Mandelsson.
We've been talking about Mandelshon for years, So don't act
like you didn't know it's such bullshit and it's disrespectful
to the British people. He said. The nature and extent
of the relationship between the convicted pedophile and Lord Mandelssohn
is far different to what I understood to be the
position at the point of the appointment. What a bunch
of googly gawkhah. See. What had happened was shut your mouth, bro,
you're bs in, You're a lion. You're not telling the
people of England the truth. And at some point they're
going to have enough, and I think that point is
approaching very quickly. Ask why he had been appointed in
the first place, Sir Kira said, Peter Mandelssh before he
was appointed, went through a due diligence process, that's the
propriety in ethics team. He went through the process and
therefore I knew of his association with Epstein. But you
hired him anyway. You appointed him anyway because you know
it wasn't that bad breaking news. Okay, Whenever if somebody's
outed as Jeffrey Epstein's friend, what you're hearing is only
the tip of the iceberg, and inevitably we always hear
more news about how close they were or about a
business dealer or whatever. It's never what it seems. But
had I known that then what I know now, I'd
have never appointed him. Because what emerged last week were emails,
Bloomberg emails which showed that the nature and extent of
the relationship that Peter Mandelsson had with Epstein was far
different to what I had understood to be the position
when I appointed him, which is such bs we all
knew if my dumb ass knew had a new know
mister Starmer. On top of that, the email showed that
he was not only questioning but wanting to challenge the
conviction of Epstein at the time. For me, went and
cut across the whole approach that I've taken on violence
against women and girls for many years and this government's approach. Yeah,
what about those grooming gangs? Any comment on that, mister Starmer.
How about the little girl that had the axe and
the knife defending herself up in Scotland. I mean, come on,
we got problems over here in the UK. It's not
just America, folks, believe it. There's something going on. There
is something in the air, and it's worldwide. There's a
lot of upheople and if these governments aren't careful. She
can go south real quick. Keep in mind that when
people have nothing left to lose, they lose it. But
as he tried to address the Mandelsyn crisis, mister Ovenden,
a long standing member of his staff, was leaving Downing
Street over revelations he had sent emails that used explicit
sexual language about Miss Abbot. Number ten spokesperson said these
messages are appalling and unacceptable. As a first black woman
to be elected to Parliament, Diane Abbott is a trailblazer
who has faced horrendous abuse throughout her political career. These
kinds of comments have no place in our politics. I
have no idea about any of that, so I'm not
going to comment. With Labor losing seats to Reform in
three council by elections last week, there was a feeling
that the wheels are in danger of coming off. Polster
Robert Hayward noted that postal voting means last week's council
by elections would not have fully reflected the scandals which
led to the resignation of Angela Rayner as Deputy Prime
Minister over her tax affairs and Lord Mandelson sacking a
whole ass scandal going on over here, and there's no
way that Starmer is going to survive it, he told
The Independent. Those two events will have a significant impact
on the polls going forward. Last week's results were bad,
but labor has not hit rock bottom yet, and I
think that is going to be very, very, very difficult
for some people to swallow. Right, you have a bunch
of people that are out here pushing a narrative for
how long and now the people are rejecting that narrative
and they're doing it wholesale. And it's not just in
the UK, it's in America too, And that's why I'm
talking about this feeling of change on the wind, and
I know a lot of you out there feel it
two from the emails I've had with you, folks. Something's coming. Meanwhile,
Professor John Curtis noted all three reform games were on
a round thirty percent of the vote. That's often enough
to win in our fractured politics. So they don't have
just two parties over there, right, They have other things
going on and things are different with the way that
they go about their elections. Meanwhile, mister farrag with a
ten point poll lead, for Reform over Labor unveiled the
first sitting Tory MP to defect to him, with Danny
Krueger switching his party. But even with Kemy bad Knock's
leadership of the Tories in free fall, Labor MPs were
more concerned about their own leader and whether he could survive.
Some suggested Sircuir could be gone, while others said he
has until next May's elections in English councils and the
Scottish and Welsh Parliament to turn it around. Labor Norwich
South m P Clive Lewis warned on Friday that Sirkre
doesn't seem up to the job, which fellow MP Graham
Stringer said, the Prime Minister is sipping in the last
chance saloon. I agree with that, not about this other
stuff because I don't know, but the Epstein stuff. Bringing
mandelssh in one of the worst decisions ever. There was
speculation that mister Stringer may step down to allow Greater
Manchester mayor Andy Burnham to replace him so he could
replace Sir Kere. Speaking to Channel four News on Monday night,
Sir Kere was asked whether he would quit if the
party felt it was necessary. The Prime Minister responded no,
because I'm absolutely clear what the task is in front
of me. We have a cross roads really in terms
of the future of this country. We go forward with
Labor for National renewal, a patriotic call about this country
and taking this country forward true patriotism, or we have
the vision and decline under reform. Oh, I'm sure it's
that easy. I'm sure one side bad, other side good.
Same kind of framing they try here in America. But
we all know that shit's nuanced. It's the uniparty. Really,
at the end of the day, does anyone really care
about us? We all know the answer. Sir Kirr also
told the broadcaster he was angry to have been put
in the position to sack Mandelson, adding it would have
been better if the detailed alegations had been put before
him before PMQ's last Wednesday. Here's an idea, do your
due diligence, mister Prime Minister. Have the MI five take
a look. That's what they're there for. Right. Meanwhile, latest
polling by Servation on Labour's deputy leader found Lucy Powell
had the support of almost forty seven percent of members,
ahead of Bridget Phillipson, who is seen as Keres favored candidate,
back by thirty percent. So look, I don't think he's
going to be able to survive this. With how volatile
English politics are right now, they're looking for any reason
to get rid of Starmer and this presents the perfect reason.
So like usual, we'll see where it all goes as
the radioactive fallout moves across the pond. All of the
information that goes with this episode can be found in
the description box. What's up everyone, and welcome to another
episode of the Epstein Chronicles. Joe Exotic of the Windsor
family is being pressed from all sides, and at this
point this buffoon has absolutely nowhere left to crawl. The
walls aren't just closing in, they're collapsing like cheap scaffolding
at a discount construction site. Every escape route he thought
he had has turned into a brick wall, and even
the usual lifelines he's relied on since birth are snapping
one by one, and the spotlight is roasting his bitch
ass like a rotisserie chicken. And for the first time
in his over pampered, under functioning life, he doesn't have
anyone to hide behind. Not only is the Royal family
finally done pretending is idiocy is quirky or charming instead
of predatory empathetic, but now the UK government has tossed
their own top hat onto the pile, announcing to the
world that maybe, just maybe it's time old and he
sits down for a thoughtful little chat with the authorities.
In the United States, you can practically hear the panic
rattling around in that hollow skull like loose change and
a dryer, And of course mister bean stunned double wants
nothing to do with it, because what exactly is he
supposed to say? Well, what's the plan here? Flash that awkward,
constipated half smile and repeat, Actually you see, I don't
sweat throughout another I was at Pizza Express and woking
like it's the nuclear launch code. That shit might have
worked on the soft BBC interviewer, but good luck running
that routine when the g men show up ready to
give you a metaphorical colonoscopy with all the lights turned
on and the camera's rolling. And what absolutely destroys me
the comedy gold at the center of this circus is
the way all these stiff upper lip high society. Doucheburgers
are so acting like any of this is shocking, like
it's breaking news, like it's some shocking twist in a
series finale none of us saw coming. These fools are
performing outrage like they're auditioning for Shakespeare. Hand on chest,
eyes wide, gasping, like someone just told them the earth
is round and the words of Sebastian Man of Scalco.
These people are out here pretending they just discovered fire,
when the rest of us have been watching this bonfire
blaze for damn near two decades. They're acting like the
Epstein connection fell out of the sky last week, when
every single person with a functioning frontal lobe has known
that this guy was radioactive long before the BBC interview.
This ignoramus has always been the questionable relative nobody wanted
to leave their kids alone with. He's always radiated that
uncle touchy energy like a malfunctioning neon sign buzzin' in
a dark alley on forty deuce in the old days,
if you needed a headline to tell you that you
weren't paying attention, or you were choosing not to. And
now here comes the freshly discovered moral outrage. Arriving twenty
years late like a drunk uncle stumbling into Christmas, drunker
than Cooter Brown. Suddenly everyone's a crusader. Suddenly everybody who
sat quiet for years is sprinting the microphones to declare
how appalled they are, how disappointed they feel, how they
could never have imagined. Come on, these are the same
hypocrites that were laughing off accusations, defending them, covering for them,
and hugging them in photo ops five minutes ago. They knew,
they all knew. They just didn't care until the wind
changed direction and the public started to refuse to play along,
And the second that they felt the temperature shift, boom
outrage instant morality fully microwaved and served steam and hot.
If there were awards for performative indignation, they'd sweep the category.
But for the handful of us who have been screaming
this truth from the rooftops for years while getting told
to shut up, calm down, and stop being dramatic, the
vindication is hitting like a cold beer after a brutal day.
Because this stank ass, goofy ass, poorly tailored brain cell
optional degenerate has looked guilty from day one, In my opinion,
he hasn't changed. The only thing that changed is that
people finally ran out of places to stash the truth.
And watching the world finally catch up, watching the rug
get yanked out from under the people who thought they
were untouchable, Well that part feels like justice warming up
in the bullpen. This article was published by Fox News
and the headline UK Prime minister suggests former Prince Andrew
should testify an Epstein investigation. Well, that's a good suggestion,
probably one he should listen to. One he's definitely not
going to listen to. Though. Prince Andrew is not the
kind of guy that takes good advice. Come on, he's
too honorable for that. He'd much rather stay over at
Jeffrey Epstein's pad than take good advice. This article was
authored by Anders Nagstrom. UK Prime Minister Kira Starmer suggested
Monday that former Prince Andrew should testify in the US
investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Imagine having to be told to
do that. Imagine being a grown ass adult and knowing
you were around this dude this much, knowing you went
over there and had a nice little hangout where you
guys watched the King's speech. You remember the time, Andrew,
don't you? And imagine not speaking to the authorities and
acting like you have no idea what's happening, like you
have never been around this dude, like you weren't in
the picture with Virginia, Like your dumbass fingers are too
fat to be your actual fingers in that picture. I mean,
come on, So, if anybody thought that this dude was
ever going to speak with anyone in authority about what
went down, you're crazy. That was never in the cards.
I mean, if Alfred there Great was resurrected tomorrow and
ordered Prince Andrew to speak to the FBI, Andrew would
rather face the consequences than speak to the FBI. That's
how bad it is for this dude, and he knows it.
Starmer made the comment to reporters while traveling to a
G twenty summit in Johannesburg on Monday, though he declined
to comment on the former prince's case directly. Well, he
has to split the baby, right. He can't get the
aristocracy to Matt Adam, so he has to kind of
measure his words. I don't comment on his particular case,
Starmer said, but as a general principle I've held for
a very long time is that anybody who has got
relevant information in relation to these kinds of cases should
give that evidence to those that need it. And that's
just a basic outlook on life. I mean, I'm not
somebody that likes to speak to the police. Let me
tell you where I'm from. Last thing you want to
do that usually ends bad for everybody involved. But if
you're hanging out with somebody who's a human trafficker and
you have nothing to hide and they're outed as that
kind of scumbag, you don't go run into the police
and say, hey, look I knew so and so from
a business arrangement. I was never around him for his escapades,
but maybe I saw something. Is there somebody I can
talk to? Like what sort of decent human being doesn't
do that? And look, I'm not talking about getting involved
in every altercation you see or every beef you see.
But this is something different. This is something much different
than your usual issue, right, you know, calling your neighbors
playing the music too loud, or your neighbors smoking some
pot that makes you a snitch, that makes you, you know,
somebody who is let me speak to the manager type. Right,
But if you're around this shit and you're seeing what's
going on as a decent human, don't you say to yourself, Hey, man,
I have daughters, and if anyone did this to my daughter,
I'd go fucking bananas. But no, we don't get that
from Andrew. Just more lies and then now just silence
Starmer's comments. After the US House Oversight Committee requested that
the royal, who is now known as Andrew mount Batton Winsor,
submit to a transcribed interview regarding his long relationship with Epstein,
he is so far ignored the request. Does he get
service out in the middle of the wilderness or wherever
he's at? That might be his next excuse, I didn't
have phone service out here. You banish me too far away,
Prince Andrew, Fucking Pluto isn't far enough away. If we
banish this dude to Pluto at eight by nine o'clock,
the Plutonians would be on Earth pissed off that we
sent this dude there. There is literally nowhere in the
universe where somebody like Prince Andrew is going to be accepted. Well,
maybe the UAE representative Robert Garcia of California. The committee's
ranking Democrat and representative, Suja Submarinean, accused the disgraced royal
of trying to hide from the investigation. Well, what about
Stacey Plaskett, your own colleague, any comments about that? Tough guys?
Oh yeah, let's go after Prince Andrew the low hanging fruit.
And believe me when I tell you I enjoy it.
If anyone deserves it, it's his bitch ass. But you
got people like Robert Garcia and Suha Submaranium and they're
out here playing this performative bullshit. How about you hold
your own colleague accountable for her nonsense. Anyone who acts
like what she was up to it wasn't bad, is crazy.
What Stacy Plaskett was engaging in, that should be a
fireable offense. And if she was in the private sector,
it would be the only reason that she's not packing
her shit right now is because she's in government and
we all know how they rally around their people. Right
if you're wearing the right jersey, you will you can
do no wrong that goes for both sides. By the way,
the work will move forward with or without them, and
we will hold anyone who was involved in these crimes accountable,
no matter their wealth, status or political party. They said
in his statement released on Friday, we'll get justice for
the survivors. Well start with Stacy Plasket. She's already been
sued by the survivors and she was saved by the court.
Jurisdictional nonsense, you know, the usual loopholes and technicalities that
these people rely on. But I'm not going to let
up on the whole Stacey Plasket issue, and I don't
think you should either. It's really a litmus test, honestly,
when you can hold people that might be from your
party or a party you align with, accountable, that's a
litmus test. Are you in the bunker or aren't you?
Are you hanging out in the very last days in
Berlin and that bunker as the echo chamber surrounds you
about how great things are? Or are you one of
the people that sees the writing on the wall and says,
you know, what fucking wrong is wrong? Enough is enough?
And I would hope that anyone that's listening to this
podcast is on that train, because if not, you're going
to be sorely disappointed with a rhetoric that's coming from me.
Because if you think I'm going to choose one side
or the other when they're both complicit. You got another
thing coming. Like I've told you before, there's nobody coming
to save us. There's no cavalry, there's no hero, There's
just us. King Charles IID formally removed the style and
titles and honors of Prince Andrew in late October. His
lease on Royal Lodge has to date provided him with
legal protection to continue in residence. Buckingham Palace announced in
his statement formal notice has now been served to surrender
the lease and he will leave to alternative private accommodation.
Oh yeah, private that the King's paying for private would
be like me or you, you know, shalling out rent
every month or a mortgage or whatever it might be. Yeah,
he's not doing that. Bro is getting taken care of
once again. Basically paid to go away because he's such
a jerk off, the modern day equivalent of being sent
to timbucktoo. The Palace said the censures are deemed necessary
notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations
against him. Andrew announced October seventeenth that he was relinquishing
Duke of York title after the publication of an unauthorized
biography by British author Andrew Lowney entitled The Rise and
Fall of the House of York in August. And I'll
tell you what, Andrew Lowney absolutely killed it with his book.
He did great research, had a bunch of great angles,
and if you want to read something or listen to
it on audible, I would highly suggest picking it up
because he definitely knows what he's talking about, and he's
locked in. And as far as Prince Andrew goes, or
the Artist formerly known as Prince Andrew, or the Diddler
formerly known as Prince Andrew, I guess is more apt.
His troubles are just beginning because the predator has now
become the prey. All of the information that goes with
