Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
Recently we heard from the producer who was responsible for
setting up the Prince Andrew interview with BBC, and her
name is Sam McAllister, and she had some pretty interesting
insight to offer well. In a new article from the
Irish Mirror, we're getting some more details from her about
what exactly what went down and how Prince Andrew had
this idea that he did this great job after this interview,
whereas the rest of the world, who witnessed it, who
watched it, who listened to it, they came to a
different conclusion for the most part, and this interview was
the beginning of the end for Prince Andrew. Folks, no
doubt in my mind that this was the beginning of
the end. How many times have people said, open your
mouth and insert your foot, because that certainly is what
Prince Andrew did and he's going to pay for it
for the rest of his life. And I look at
it as karma almost right. Why are you giving an
interview to the BBC before you even speak to the FBI.
What are you really trying to accomplish? You're not trying
to help the people who were abused. Obviously you're trying
to save a little bit of face, and frankly, these
people have been allowed to save face for a way
too long. In fact, these people have been so protected, folks.
Let's remember that ABC and Amy Robach quashed an interview
with Virginia Roberts that had all the goods on these
people in twenty fifteen. So all of you folks out
there who didn't know much about this story and might
have heard just little tidbits and decided, hey, there's not
enough out there. I have to go and find my
own information. Well, you can thank the legacy media for
failing at their job to inform you correctly, because they've
had all this information even longer than I have, but
they sat on it. They refused to give it to
you all because they didn't want to lose access to
people like the Joe exotic of the Windsor family. And
could there be anything more absurd? Who the hell cares
if you lose access to these sick, disgusting people. The
idea as a journalist is the whold people of power
accountable and to educate the rest of the citizens. That's
why it's called the fourth Estate and That's why the
media has given such great privileges. But they failed big
time here, folks, one hundred percent without a doubt failed
not only failed you, but more importantly, it failed the
girls who were abused. Because if this story could have
gotten out earlier, how many girls would have avoided this fate?
And I'm never going to let the legacy media live
it down. Today we have an article, like I said,
from the Irish Mirror and headline Prince Andrew was a
bomb waiting to go off as fresh details emerge from
his disastrous interview. This article was authored by Teresa Gauteen
Martinez and Michelle Cullen. Sam McAllister, who was responsible for
setting up the Duke of York's explosive interview in November
of twenty nineteen, has written a memoir Scoops, in which
she detailed the bizarre event. So if you were her,
why wouldn't you parlay this into something? Write a book,
write a story, do the circuit, you know, make a
few bucks from it. I say good for Sam McAllister.
She was the one who set this all up, she
was the one who put it into motion, so she
should definitely be the one to get the nod in
the credit it. You see a lot of these times
the journalist gets the credit right, but behind the scenes,
it's the producer, the field producers who are setting all
of this up, finding people to interview, figuring out topics.
And then these high paid news readers that you see
on TV, Rachel Maddow, Sean Hannity, the rest of these boobs,
they just get up there and they parrot whatever their
producers find out or figure out, and they get the
all of the alcolades, they get all of the pats
on the back, and most importantly, they get all of
the money, when in reality, it's these producers that are
doing all the hard work. So people like Sam McAllister,
when they're able to double down and make a few
dollars on the stuff that they did by flipping a
book or something like that, I say go for it.
It's hard enough trying to carve out a chunk when
you're somebody who's involved in the media or creating content.
So if there's a money making opportunity for you and
it's based solely on your work, especially, you should definitely
jump at that. Appearing on This Morning to discuss the
Unforgettable Appearance of Andrew on the Flagship program, which saw
him speak about his friendship with convicted pedophile and sex
trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Miss McAllister was asked by ITV presenter
Holly Willoughby whether she thought the Duke sixty two regretted
agreeing to the interview. Look, I certainly didn't work on
getting the interview with Prince Andrew here, but I'm pretty
sure it's right up there in his top five regrets
of all time, right along with hanging out with Epstein.
Well maybe that isn't regret. After all, he had a
chance to say that and he didn't, So who knows
what his biggest regrets really are, but this has to
be at the top of the list, right, given this interview,
outing yourself for a complete moron for the whole entire
world to see. Before it was just people who were
paying attention to the royal family, right, A lot of
you out there follow the royal family and stuff. You
all knew that Prince Andrew was an absolute boob. Frankly,
until the Jeffrey Epstein story, I had no idea who
he really was besides the Prince of England. I had
no desire to research him. I didn't care. I really
just didn't care about him or anyone in the Royal
family for that matter. And I still feel the same
way when this saga closes. You know, I really have
nothing else to say about the Royal family. Honestly. It's
just I have bigger problems, I guess, you know. I
always talk about how my yard is. If my yard's dirty,
I can't talk about my neighbors. So I have my
own problems here in the United States to worry about.
I can't worry about, you know, the Royal family. But
Prince Andrew's bitch ass. Oh yeah, bro, you're on the
radar forever now. And as long as you stick around
and you keep hanging out with the Royal family and
trying to make your way back, well, people like me
are going to make your life miserable and the collateral damage,
unfortunate for you and the royalists, is going to be
the Royal family. She replied. I think he was a
bomb waiting to go off. He wanted to say something,
he wanted to vindicate himself, reports The Express. Now, I
know that seems ludicrous now, but nobody thinks they're going
to do a bad interview. He thought he would explain
himself and he thought this would all go away. So
I suspect if he went back he would still do
an interview, but I doubt it would be with Emily,
and I doubt it would be with Newsnight. Oh. I
doubt that as well. He'd probably go and do the
interview with the guy that got all of those Maxwell
family interviews. Whatever that dude's name is over in England,
the guy that was crowing about how Maxwell's innocent and
this is all a setup, the blah blah blah blah blah,
whoever that clown is, I don't even remember his name,
but that's probably the person he would have went and
had the interview with. Or maybe he would have set
it up with one of his in New York, mister
Cloggs himself, George Stepanopolis, maybe Katie Kurk. Weren't they all
at Prince Andrew's Little Schuare dinner that Jeffrey Epstein through
for him? And again, I don't know about you, folks,
but me personally, I've never been to dinner with one
child abuser, never mind multiple. In January, the Duke of
York was stripped of his military titles in the face
of the legal battle over accusations by Virginia Roberts thirty eight.
Miss Roberts said she was coerced into sexual encounters with
Andrew in two thousand and one by Epstein and his
longtime co conspirator, General all Around Scusbeg fellow child abuser
Kallayne Maxwell on three different occasions. Andrew, who has always
denied the allegations against him, and March, agreed to pay
a multimillion pounds sum with no admission of liability, to
bring the civil sexual assault case to a close. It's
funny how everyone's so cautious when they talk about Anne
as well. You know what I'll say it, I wish
the royal family would sue me because I have news
for you. We're going all the way to discovery. I
would soothe, I would. I would go all the way
to discovery with these people. So I don't know what
all these journalists are so scared about. Oh, I don't
want to slander him. How can you slander a scumbag
like this? At this point, a man that was willing
to stand on the sidelines well abused girls suffered, a
man that, according to Virginia took part in the abuse himself.
As part of the settlement, which is not an admission
of guilt. The Duke vowed to demonstrate his regret for
his association with Epstein by supporting the fight against the
evils of sex trafficking and by supporting its victims. This
is so ridiculous. It's as ridiculous as putting Glain, Maxwell
and Danbury with other victims of human traffickers, as if
that won't be triggering to them. But this is crazy.
Prince Andrew's going to become this fighter against human trafficking,
the consoler of widows, the friend to orphans, the patron
saint of lepers. That's what he is all of a sudden.
Please miss me with the bullshit, please. But this did
not save the Prince's reputation, which virtually died as the
Newsnight interview was broadcast. Miss McAllister said she still can't
believe some of what the royals said on camera. She
couldn't believe either that the interview was eventually going to happen.
She told Miss Willoughby and Phillips Schofield, who would say
yes to being on Newsnight when you're accused of the
things you're accused of of there. I never, for a
second believed that this negotiation would be successful. Yeah, me either.
How in the hell would Prince Andrew ever agree to this?
It is so bizarre that this this dude would agree
to this. It's just I don't even be nowhere to begin.
The producer went on to explain that Princess Beatrice, whom
Andrew invited to the final negotiations, made the difference between
yes and no. Hey, look, his daughter's doing the right thing.
She wants to believe her dad, right. I want to
believe my dad. I want to believe that my dad's
a good man. How many of us believe our fathers
are superheroes almost so, of course, if someone's saying this
about your dad, you're not going to believe it, right,
and you're gonna say to your dad, Hey, dad, just
go go clear the air, go get on the record,
and tell these people what's up. I know I'd be
pushing for my dad to tell the truth, and I'm
sure that's what his daughter was doing here. The Duke's
eldest daughter was a real curveball for the production team.
Miss McAllister said, Miss McAllister explained, I turned up to
the negotiations a little bit brassy, and Prince Andrew said, oh,
by the way, I have brought someone with me. I
thought it had to be a lawyer. And then round
the corner Princess Beatrice appeared. When asked how she dealt
with the princess being there, the producer answered, I asked
her tentative questions as she was just looking at her dad. Look,
it has to be a bit uncomfortable, right, You're about
to blast this dude with a bunch of serious questions
about sexual abuse and his relationship with a notorious pedophile,
and he brings his daughter. So again, not Beatrice's fault,
but Prince Andrew once again trying to use his children
as a shield. And real men do not bring their
family into these sorts of matters, that's for damn sure.
Real men don't find themselves in these sorts of matters.
But here Prince Andrew is, and well a real man,
he is not. All right, folks, that's gonna do it
for this episode. If you'd like to contact me, you
can do that at Bobby Kapuchi at proton mail dot com.
That's bo bb Y c apu Cci. At proton. You

in the description box o Exotic of the Windsor family
continues to make a moron out of himself and fools
of the rest of the royal family, and he just
keeps compounding his problems. Now there's a report out that
he says that his interview with Emily Matliss was a
source of regret. No shit, Prince of punk asses a
source of regret, talk about the understatement of the year.
This bumbling buffoon thought that he was going to hop
into that interview with Emily Matlss, control the narrative and
move his story forward. In reality, what happened was the
whole entire thing went down like the Hindenburg. And now
Prince Andrew and his team of lickspittles, well again they're
trying to take the offensive. Meanwhile, the rest of the
world understands that Andrew's best option at this point is
to keep his mouth shut. Our article tonight is from
the New York Post and the author of this article
is Marissa Delato. The headline Prince Andrew calls infamous BBC interviews.
Source of regret. Insider says, source of regret, that's pretty funny.
I talk about an understatement. Prince Andrew knows he's screwed up. Yeah,
and so does the rest of the world, everybody but
the few quote unquote friends that he still has around him.
And when I say friends, I use that word loosely
because it's probably just Lickspittles. Andrew, the disgraced second son
of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, believes the BBC interview
that jump started his public downward spiral is a source
of regret. The Sunday Times of London reported he still
has no idea. He is still completely and utterly tone
deaf to what is going on here, to what the
real problem is here and why he is really in trouble.
This man truly believes that this is just a pr issue.
He really thinks that at some point in life he's
going to be able to slide right back in to
so called polite society, into his roles as the so
called prince, and to be able to just pick up
where he left off. It hasn't settled in yet that
those days are over. It really has not settled in
with the Joe exotic of the Windsor family that his
days as a public figure are done. The former friend
of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and also won't cooperate with US
authorities unless they offer him an olive branch. According to
a report, and by an olive branch, my guess would
be they certainly don't want to have Andrew sit down
in front of the investigators and have those investigators have
the ability to ask questions and try and get Andrew
to expound on his answers. They most certainly would prefer
a written statement if anything. But even then I don't
see this legal team that Andrew has put together even
going that route. And even if they accept that route,
or if they offer that route, I do not think
that the prosecutors will be okay with that. This is
too much of a critical situation for there to just
be a written statement. They're going to really want to
have Andrew in a room with them, sitting down across
from them, and they're going to have their experts there right,
people that know about facial expressions, body language, etc. Etc.
It's very important that Andrew is questioned in person. In November,
Andrew sixty tried to deny he had ever slept with
Epstein's survivors, because well, he can't sweat. Epstein's survivor, Virginia Roberts, however,
insists the Prince sweat all over all over her when
she was forced to have sex with him in two
thousand and one. Well, we've seen pictures of the prince sweating.
We've seen many, many, many pictures of Andrew's sweating. This
whole excuse that, oh, I don't sweat, so it couldn't
be me, is just something that I'm not buying, right,
And I don't think any logical person is buying either.
You mean to tell me if you were sitting on
the jerry, that's an excuse you would buy. I would
need to see a lot of medical evidence that this
is the case, and that is that that that was
the case, because we have seen evidence to the contrary,
We have heard evidence to the contrary, and we know
what Virginia has come out and said. So the whole
sweating thing, just like the whole entire excuse that he
he doesn't remember the picture with Virginia and there's no
way that could be him because the fingers are chubby,
or it's all just completely and utterly ridiculous. Everything this
man has said about this case is an absolute and
utter joke. In my opinion, there's a slight problem with
with with with the sweating. Andrew then told the BBC
Emily Emily mateless because I have a peculiar medical condition,
which is that I don't sweat, or I didn't sweat
at the time because I had suffered what I would
describe as an overdose of adrenaline in the Falklands War
when I was shot at. Oh yeah, see what he
does here. It's just like with the charity, folks. You
gotta read between the lines. Now. It's not the charity,
the charitable works he has done, or his princely blood
that he's using as an excuse. No, it's that he
was in the war and he was shot at, and
everybody should feel bad for him because he was over
there and he was risking his life. But in reality,
nobody's believing that. He says he had a medical condition
where he don't sweat, and then he changes it and says, well,
I didn't sweat at the time. Pretty hard to go
back and check in on that, isn't it. This guy
is an absolute clown. How he is a representative of
the monarchy and the English people as a whole is
just beyond me. Though the public was quick to call
bs at the excuse, Andrew told his Queen Mummy that
the interview was a great success. According to the report,
that's the sort of mindset that this man has, folks.
He truly believed that he went into that interview and
knocked it out of the park, that he really, as
he would say, drew a line underneath it, when in reality,
he went into that interview and he came out looking
like the biggest liar in the history of liars. How
could this man or his legal team think that anybody
is going to take him seriously? Anybody who watched that interview,
anybody who has followed this story, and anybody knows anybody
who excuse me, anybody who knows what Andrew is up
to with the other people he hangs out with. Well,
it's quite obvious who was telling the truth here and
who was lying. A source close to the Duke of
York said, I don't think he regrets the intention behind
the interview, which was to clear the air or his family,
the royal family and the Institution but the fact he
wasn't able to appropriately or sufficiently convey his sympathy for
the survivors of Epstein is of course a source of regret.
This guy doesn't regret any of that. All he regrets
is how it came off. Right again, all of these people,
all they care about is their power, the consolidation of it,
whether it be their reputational power, or their financial power,
or the most important asset that these people have information.
That is all they care about. And Andrew, he doesn't
care about the survivors. If he cared about these survivors,
he would come forward and give a full interview to
investigators and tell them everything that he knows, from top
to bottom, everything that he saw while he was there,
every last thing. But no, he continues to drag his feet,
he continues to avoid scrutiny, and he continues to look
like a complete liar. The Prince won't budge when it
comes to the cooperating with the FBI, and needs trust
rebuilt before he considers doing so. Last week, Andrew's legal
team said the Justice Department breached their own confidentiality rules
and claimed they had offered assistance three times this year
and again just another excuse, right, Oh, well, I was
going to cooperate, but the FBI, well there are a
bunch of smarmy sons of bitches, so I can't cooperate
with them anymore. We'll have to rebuild the trust, dragging
his feet using the legal system to his advantage because
the laws, at the end of the day, were put
on the books by his buddies. And if anyone knows
how to navigate the legal system, are it is these
high profile people with their gaggle of high profile lawyers
who are friendly with the people who actually put the
laws on the books, and in turn, well, they know
how to navigate that system just perfectly. But remember, folks,
they only navigate it for them and their friends, not
for me. And you enjoy your public defender. However, the
lead federal prosecutor in New York says otherwise. Prince Andrew
yet again sought the false leave portray himself to the
public as eager and willing to cooperate. The Prince has
not given an interview to federal authorities, has repeatedly declined
our request to schedule such an interview, and informed us
unequivocally that he would not come in for such an interview,
Jeffrey Berman told the newspaper, and again, what it does
is it just proves that Andrew is a liar. I
have seen people actually try and defend this dude on Twitter,
and I don't even know what to say to people
like that. If you're that interested being involved with some
cognitive dissonance, I guess all I could say is, do
you have fun, but don't think the rest of us
aren't going to mock you. Don't think the rest of
us aren't going to laugh at you, because that is
certainly the case. Anybody who is still in this man's
camp at this point either has fallen and has some
sort of head trauma that's making them make bad decisions,
or their scummy just like this guy. There's no in
between here, There's no gray area, and there's no he said,
she said. Even at this point, Prince Andrew has been
credibly accused by Virginia Roberts and the Joe Exotic of
the Wingsor family, who said he would help any investigation
now refuses to do so because he knows he's stepped
in it. Andrews camp maintain the FBI is leaking information
which is stopping him from participating in the investigation. Again,
that's a bunch of bs, folks, don't buy into any
of that stuff. Andrew's camp will use any sort of disinformation,
any sort of spycraft sort of tactic to make sure
that they're making the FBI out to be the morons here. Well,
it's not far from the truth. Don't get me wrong.
If we're having a battle of morons, there's nobody that
approaches Andrew's level in this case, folks. So if we're
going to be forced to believe one side or the other,
ear I'm definitely going to believe what the FBI is
saying and what the Justice Department saying when it comes
to Andrew, considering all of the evidence that we have.
That's just in the public sphere, right, it's not looking
good for your boy, Joe Exotic of the Windsor family.
The Duke is not going any further in the cooperation
process any further. He hasn't even gotten off the starting block.
What do you mean any further. The dude blew his
achilles heel out at the starting gate. Now he's talking,
he's not going any further, like he's running a marathon
over here. Give me a break until the DOJ beg
begin to behave honorably unless they have given him some
signal acknowledging there have been a significant breach of trust
and offering some kind of olive branch to rebuild trust.
Set a source close to the royal this is just
beyond the pale, folks, This is just absolutely beyond the pale.
The DOJ begin to operate honorably. Hello, kettle on pot,
you're black? I mean, are you kidding me right now
with this nonsense? If anybody has not acted honorably, it
is the man who calls himself a prince. Don't you
think a title like that comes with some responsibility. Shouldn't
you have a moral compass that works. Shouldn't you try
and be somebody that other people look up to? But no, Instead,
he's covorting with Jeff free Epstein, he's hanging out with
Gilan Maxwell, he's hanging out with arms dealers, he's hanging
out with money launderers, and yet he has the audacity
to talk about anyone else not acting honorably. As Steven A.
Smith would say, come on, man, a royal insider said,
andrews Epstein affiliations will haunt him for life. Yes, they will.
No matter what, this man will always have this hanging
over his head. He will never shake the fallout from this.
And guess what good for him? He earned it, right,
he earned this badge. Now wear it. Even if down
the line all the criminal and civil cases are over
and Andrew is completely exonerated, the stain will always be
there with the suspicion he was partying what went on
those photos with Epstein and Roberts. They'll always exist, they said.
And that's a kicker, right for a lot of people.
A lot of people want to believe somebody like Prince
Andrew couldn't be involved in anything like this. And when
I first started researching this case, I was skeptical of everything, right.
I had no idea who was credible in this case.
I had no idea who was not credible in this case.
But what I can tell you is after two hundred
and I don't know, fifty something straight days of being
on air without missing one single episode in most days
usually two episodes, one thing I can tell you is this,
the profile for Prince Andrew and the rest of the
accused in this case does not look good for them.
And that's just what the evidence we have in the
public sphere. Can you imagine the loads of evidence that
the FBI has. Can you imagine the witness statements the
FBI has? And then you'll wonder why I question all
the time, where are the indictments? Why is nobody yet arrested?
Because if we have all of this information in the
public sphere and we're able to follow all of these threads,
you mean to tell me that the FBI is not
compiling as much information and does not have a strong
case yet I refuse to believe that his royal relatives
are upset with the Duke, though the Queen is privately
supportive of her son. Another source close to the palace
said she's losing understanding. Look, no no offense or anything. Okay,
but the Queen is like in her nineties, right, I'm
sure she's you know, a fine woman or whatever whatever
you want to say. I don't know much about her, right.
I'm not on this podcast to rip the royals as
a whole or anything like that. I don't know enough
about them to do that, and that's not the game
I play. But what I will tell you is this,
if it was my mom, hole boy, let me tell
you if it was my mom, first of all, I
would already got the wooden spoon all right, then grabbed
by the ear, and not lightly by the way, grabbed
by the ear, the ear twisted, and I would be
dragged to the FBI office to answer for this. So
I don't know what the Queen is doing, and I
don't know why the Queen has not come out more forcefully,
and honestly, if I was her, I would make him
go and speak to the FBI. The idea that the
Queen will simply indulge Prince Andrew is wide of the mark.
Her patience has been wearing thin for a long time.
She had resisted this slimming down of the monarchy, but
it's fair to say she is not now standing in
the way of that in her lifetime. They said, Palace
officials are angry at Andrew because the report about his
indiscretions overshadowed Prince Philip's ninety ninth birthday, which was Wednesday.
Do you see how tone deaf they are, folks? So
out of all of this, the Palace officials are angry
because they're a report about his indiscretions had the audacity
to overshadow Prince Phillip's ninety ninth birthday. Really, that's what
you're worrying about right now. This old dude is at
ninety eight other birthdays. No big deal of missing out
on one hair, all right, or it being marred. Be
mad at your son here, okay, make him responsible, hold
him responsible, But instead more dragging of the feet, more
hiding behind mummy skirts and even less truth from the
Joe exotic of the Windsor family. If you'd like to

up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. So
Prince Andrew's dumbass is back in the news, and we're
hearing from one of his pals, a lawyer who is
a defamation lawyer named Paul Tweed, who said he advised
Prince Andrew about speaking to BBC and giving that Newsnight interview.
He told Prince Andrew that it was an absolutely terrible idea,
but like usual, Prince Andrew, well he knows better. The
Queen also told him, not a great idea, buddy. But
of course Andrew thought he was going to get up
there and gaslight everybody and tell the whole world that
he was an innocent man. And instead it was the
opposite reaction, wasn't it. Everybody took a look at that
interview and said to themselves, what an absolute ski Vaughts
this dude is. He didn't offer any bit of evidence,
He didn't offer anything that would change my mind anyway
about what we have learned about this dude. And besides
a bunch of nonsense coming from surrogates and people around him,
there's nobody that's serious that's talking about Prince Andrew making
a comeback or anything like that. That's all just fantasyland
stuff that his camp floats out there. You know, the
four or five people that are still around them, they
float that out there and they see what happens. What's
the reaction gonna be. But the reality for Prince Andrew
is the party is over. He's never coming back. He's
never gonna be welcomed back into polite society, and most
certainly not as a representative of the English people. Today,
we have an article from the Dailymail dot com headline
I warned Prince Andrew it was a bad idea to
agree to the infamous Newsnight interview. Duke of York's lawyer
Pal says this article was authored by Vanessa Allen and
Claudia Joseph. You have to be one dumbass moron to
think doing that interview is a good idea. There was
never a point in time when that interview should have
even been a thing for Prince Andrew. The answer should
have been no, thank you, I'll pass. And if you're innocent,
or if Jeffrey Epstein was blackmailing you or something, you
should have went to the authorities and sat down with
the FBI and spilled the beans. You didn't do anything
like that. What you did was you retreated behind your
mum's skirts. Prince Andrew was warned it was a bad
idea for him to discuss his links with this grace
financier pedophile Jeffrey Epstein on News Night, a friend revealed yesterday.
Lawyer Paul Tweed said he advised the Duke of York
against speaking to the BBC about his links with the
convicted pedophile, and then told the senior aide. Is he mad?
No way, no, no, no, he said. Andrew ignored his
vice and made his mind up to tell his version
of events to the broadcaster. And when you have a
friend of yours who's a lawyer telling you this, a
good lawyer, and you know, not somebody you're pay but
a good lawyer who's just a friend, and they're advising
you not to have this conversation on national TV, it's
probably a good idea to listen to what they're saying.
And if not, well you only have yourself to blame.
And Prince Andrew once again has made a cage of
his very own design that he's living in. This man
has created all of his own problems. Nobody created these
problems for him. Nobody told them to palor around with Epstein.
Nobody told them to be a general all around dickhead.
He chose to do all of that, just like he
chose to ignore the good advice of his friend here,
Paul Tweed, and do the interview. The disastrous twenty nineteen
interview and its fallout effectively ended Andrew's role in public life.
The Duke admitted he had visited Epstein shortly after the
billionaire financier pedophiles released from jail for soliciting underage sex
and said that was the wrong decision. Yeah, you think
the wrong decision. The Prince of England, a prince of
the blood, going to hang out with a convicted pedophile,
sleeping on his couch, breaking bread with him, and doing
lord knows what else. I think it's safe to say
that that ranks right up near the top of bad
decisions of all time. He said he did not regret
his association with Epstein, as it had some seriously beneficial outcomes,
and gave no apology to Epstein's victims. No, he didn't.
He sat there and acted like he was being victimized
or something like he was being wrongfully targeted. Bro, everything
you did with your boy Epstein, everything you did with
all of the other undesirable scumbags you were hanging out with,
you have to know at some point was gonna come
home and those chickens were gonna roost. But when you're
somebody like Prince Andrew and you have these kinds of
narcissistic traits, you don't see that for what it is.
You don't see that there's a problem with what you're
doing because guess what you could never be. He's wrong, right,
You're always in the right. I'm Prince Andrew. I've never
been reprimanded, I've never been punished. I've never been told no,
So why should I be told no now? And that's
the way Prince Andrew has always lived his life. And
thankfully he had a nice dose of reality during this
interview when basically a bucket of cold ass water was
dumped on his head and he was told it was
time to wake up. But unfortunately, he seems to still
be sleepwalking through life. The interview is now at the
center of a two part Channel four documentary, Andrew The
Problem Prince. The program includes insights from the Newsnight team
which filmed the interview, journalist Emily Maitliss and producer Sam
McAllister lawyers for one of the Epstein survivors and Andrew's friends.
Mister Tweed, a defamation lawyer and long standing friend of
the Duke, said he was told about the plans for
an interview a month before it was filmed. Speaking to
Andrew as a friend, he said, look, that would not
be a good idea, sir. He then got a call
from Andrew's then chief of staff, Amanda Thirsk saying the
Duke had decided to do the interview. And we know
that Amanda Thirsk lost her job as well. She's no
longer working with the Prince. Who the hell knows what
she's up to, but she got canned in the end
as well. Anybody who was okay with Andrew doing this
interview should be fired. And look, like the rest of you,
I'm over the moon that he did it. Anytime one
of these clowns wants to get on TV, open their
big fat yapps and expose themselves, I'm all for it.
But as far as he's concerned, and as far as
his camp is concerned, oh, I'm sure there were many
nights of people staying up with Adjeda freaking out that
this idiot was going to do this interview. And when
you have a good friend of yours like Paul Tweed
telling you, bro, you're making a big mistake, you should
probably listen, mister Tweed told the Channel four documentary. I said,
is he mad? No way, no, no, no, that's a
bad idea. You should not do it. Amanda just said, look, Paul,
I've got to go. I'll call you later. The phone
was put down abruptly and that was it. So instead
of taking the advice of his lawyer friend mister Tweed here,
he's taking the advice of all of the yes men
that are around him. And that's the biggest problem when
you're surrounded by yes men and nobody has the courage
to ever say to you. Look, you're acting out of line,
you're talking out of the side of your neck, you're
being stupid. Well you're just gonna go on and continue
to be stupid. And you know what they say, right,
play stupid games and you win stupid prizes. And Prince
Andrew is the king of winning stupid prizes. So obviously
the Duke, for better or for worse, had made up
his mind he was going to do it. The Duke
made that decision on his own, against most advice. Mister
Tweed said Andrew was a very decent, straightforward individual, but
believe he had been very naive in his dealings with Epstein.
Oh give me a break. It's always naive, This naive
that Vafon Gul naive. He knew what he was doing,
and he chose to chill with Epstein even when Epstein
was outed. So I don't want to hear shit about
Oh he's naive. He didn't know who Epstein was, He
didn't know what Epstein was up to. Everybody knew. He
said the relationship was totally ill judged, totally inappropriate, and
he believed Epstein had set up a notorious photo of
himself with the Duke in New York Central Park in
twenty ten. We know that's not true either. We've heard
from the photographers who took the photo, who said they
just happened to see this situation unfolding and were in
the right place at the right time. Andrew's camp, though
they floated the idea that this was all a setup.
Epstein had served an eighteen month sentence for soliciting sex
from an underage girl in Florida and had been released
from prison just months before Andrew visited him in New York.
He was later found head and his prison cell in
twenty nineteen while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. So
your boy gets out of jail right for sex offense crimes,
and then you, the Prince of England, decide you're gonna
fly across the pond and go stay at his house,
and then you're gonna tell us You did all of
that because you wanted to tell him you didn't want
to be friends anymore. That's your story, that's the narrative
you're sticking to. No wonder your friends didn't want you
to do that. Interview mister Tweed, who has represented Andrew's
ex wife Sarah Ferguson in civil litigation, said the effect
of the Newsnight interview on the Duke and his family
has been horrendous, but believed he could return to public life,
saying I would never say never in any case, Well,
you must be smoking mushrooms, because there's no way Prince
Andrew is ever coming back to public life, unless, of course,
he provides some evidence that shows that his accuser is
not telling the truth. You have that evidence, let's see it.
But until you can provide something as far as evidence
is concerned, shut up and go back to the stable
and muck the shit. In the Newsnight interview, Andrew denied
claims from one of Epstein's survivors, Virginia Roberts, that she
was trafficked to have sex with them in two thousand
and one when she was seventeen. He told Miss Maitlis
he did not remember meeting Miss Roberts, and he was
at a birthday party at a pizza Express and Woking
on the day she said that they met him. Going
to a pizza Express and Woking is like Bill Clinton
going to your local pizza hut. It's not going to happen.
He also denied her recollection of him sweating heavily as
they danced at a nightclub in central London, and insisted
he had been unable to sweat after an adrenaline overdose
during the Falklands War. Meanwhile, there's tons of pictures of
dumb dumb over here sweating through his shirt. Andrew Peter
reported nine point six million pounds settlement to Miss Roberts
after he launched the civil lawsuit in New York accusing
him of sexual abuse. Although he continues to deny any wrongdoing.
Miss Roberts lawyer Sigared macauley said the Newsnight interview gave
her a roadmap to tear him apart in the civil claim.
One hundred percent. Again, I've said it from the beginning
and I'll continue to say it, folks, Prince Andrew is
his own worst enemy, all right, folks. That's gonna do
it for this one. All of the Information that goes
