Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. One of the biggest mistakes you can make
when you're looking at Jeffrey Epstein in his crimes and
his criminal organization is to try and fit it into
a box. Jeffrey Epstein was not a Republican, he was
not a Democrat, and didn't give two shits about loyalty
to country or party. All Jeffrey Epstein cared about was
Jeffrey Epstein, and all of this fighting, all this arguing,
all this he said, she said, right versus left, pitchforks
versus torches works to their advantage. So the more that
we fight, the more that we argue, the better off
they are and the easier it is for them to
continue to push whatever kind of crazy narrative they're trying
to push. But the truth is it's not a right
or left problem. It's a problem shared by both sides
because the people that are in charge, no matter what
political party they claim to be ian, they don't care
about you. They have no desire to do anything for you,
and everything you see that comes out of their mouths,
for the most part, is nothing more than theater. I mean,
just take a look at what's going on in Congress.
I mean, you'd think that all these people that are
freaking out would want to talk to Stacy Plaskett, right,
they'd want to get her deposed, see what she knows.
It's not like she was part of a lawsuit saying
that she was helping enable Jeffrey Epstein's operation. Oh wait,
she was. Oh okay, might be something to talk about.
Might be a good conversation I have. And when people
like Jasmin Crockett refuse to even have the conversation, they
lose credibility because how can you demand that other people
get up there and talk about what they know while
you're giving your buddy a pass. Isn't that the same
thing that we're here going crazy about Trump doing so
for me, the outrage and the anger is uniform. And
that's because I understand that it's not one or the other,
it's all of them. And in this article from The Independent,
we're going to talk about that a little bit more headline.
Epstein was invited to gatherings with a dozen members of
Congress years after his initial arrest. Documents reveal this article
was authored by Brendan Rasius. Look this shouldn't shock you, folks. Okay, Congress,
the Senate, they have a slush fund that they use
to pay off accusers who make accusations against them. And
where do you think that money comes from? You think
it's theirs? Wrong, We pay it the taxpayer. So just remember,
those are the people up there waxing, poetic, engaging in
all this theater, acting like they care. Meanwhile, their own
colleagues are getting up to all kinds of no good.
And not only that, they're still trying to associate with
Jeffrey Epstein even after bro was arrested. In January of
two though eleven, Jeffrey Epstein received an email inviting him
to join a freshman congressman for a breakfast at a
luxury hotel in midtown Manhattan. The billionaire pedophile was promised
the chance to rub shoulders with Representative Alan West, a
rising star Florida Republican whose district encompassed Epstein's Palm Beach mansions. Well,
I'm sure that the other neighborhood diddlers also received invites
to come to the galla. Right, Oh it was just Epstein. Oh,
you just wanted his money. You didn't care about morality,
you didn't care about the girls that were abused. Makes sense,
sounds about right. You will have the opportunity to explore
his views on a variety of issues, including spending, the
national debt, taxes, education, the economy, Islam, the big One, Israel,
among others. The letter read, So they're trying to dangle
that as some kind of bait to get Epstein to
come to the gala. Oh, you can talk to him
about Israel, Like what does that even mean? And don't
you people have like somebody that does research about who's
coming to your gala, about who you're inviting, So you
can make up whatever excuse you want now. But at
the time, Jeffrey Epstein and his crimes were already known.
Bro was already convicted. Okay, not for stealing a sandwich,
not for touching a girl who's seventeen the way some
of these jerkofs want to frame it. We all know
what Jeffrey Epstein got him dubbed for, and we all
know that it would have been a lot more, including
a life sentence, if the federal government would have done
its job. An hour after it landed in his inbox,
Epstein replied that he was unfortunately in the Caribbean. For Epstein,
this type of offer was far from unusual. After he
pleaded guilty to procuring a minor for prostitution in two
thousand and eight and served at thirteen months in jail,
the convicted sex offender received offers to meet with over
a dozen current or former members of Congress. According to
the Independence analysis of documents released by the Department of Justice,
most invitations delivered to Epstein's inbox were four exclusive gatherings,
a birthday gala, a breakfast briefing, a fundraiser at a
billionaire's home. Some, though, sought to facilitate one on one
meetings between elected officials and the disgraced financier. Over half
the lawmakers involved are from New York, New Mexico, and Florida,
states where Epstein owns sprawling properties. Notable names include House
Minority Leader Jakim Jeffreys, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and
Senator Martin Heinrich. Every one of them should be deposed
if they have nothing to say cool it was just
an email sent by a staffer. Great, but everybody gets
the business. I don't care who you are. You're caught
up in this and there's even a hint of public corruption.
You need to be deposed, you need to go under oath,
and you need to explain what you were up to.
We're talking about public funds now right. There needs to
be accountability and that means full transparency by all these people, Hakim, Jeffries,
Chuck Schumer, and Senator Martin Heinrich. And I've talked about
Chuck Schumer previously. There was a point in time where
he was getting a grip of money from Jeffrey Epstein
and it wasn't until they got called out that they
returned the money or even acted like they cared. And
if he was never called out, that money would have
been gone and spent, and he wouldn't have given a
damn about the people that were abused. You see, these
people never care about the abuse. They never care that
we're getting stolen from. All they care about is that
they're getting outed. That's the big problem, not the crime,
not the fact that they screwed everybody literally and figuratively,
but that they've been outed. That we know now that
the jig is up, and you see that they're doing
anything in their power to try and change the narrative.
I mean, they got the avengers of idiots out there
defending the Jeffrey Epstein DOJ decisions and what the Epstein administration,
I mean, the Trump administration's doing. And because it's their side,
their team, everything's okay, no big deal here, nothing to see.
This is all just a big political hoax. Intermediaries such
as public relation executives and major donors with ties to
Epstein issued the invitations, and it's unclear how many events
Epstein attended, if any, or whether lawmakers themselves were aware
of the entreaties being made on their behalf. But taken together,
the documents reveal how many political insiders tied to Capitol
Hill viewed Epstein in the decade before his death. They
didn't shun the convicted sex offender or Purgam from their
email lists. Instead, they persistently pursued them. And this is
what I mean. It's the whole ass system, folks, not
just Trump. Now. Of course, Trump is a different level
because he's the president, and in my opinion, he's overseeing
a cover up, So of course that's a big point
of conversation. But don't lose the plot. Don't go off
on side quests. The whole ass system is broken. And
all these people had no problem breaking bread with Jeffrey
Epstein and benefiting either directly or indirectly from his massive
amount of wealth. And that's all that mattered, not the
people who were abused, not the girls, nobody. But now
you'll see all these people come out and say, well,
we return the money, we did this, we did that.
The fact that you even emailed them is the problem.
And until people are ready to confront that and get
rid of their demagoguery, it's going to be a big
problem moving forward. Because if we truly want to see justice,
if we truly want transparency, we need to create a
coalition of people that don't give a shit about ideology,
that don't give a shit about politics, that understands that
this is the biggest issue, maybe that we have ever faced,
and now that we know what's going on, there's no
running from it. This has to be confronted. And all
the people that think that the world is the same
as it used to be when it comes to inviting
people like Epstein back into the fold, they need to
be made aware that that's not the case. And for
all the people that enable Jeffrey Epstein they need to
understand that they're going to be outed billionaire fundraisers, birthday galas,
and social club briefing. In November of twenty twelve, Mortimer Zuckerman,
the billionaire then owner of the New York Delhi News
and US News and World Report, sent an email to
Epstein asking him to attend a fundraiser at his home
for then Senator Max Baukis, a Montana Democrat who left
office in twenty fourteen. And look, it might be uncomfortable
for some people, but Jeffrey Epstein donated a ton of
money to Democrats throughout the years. Now, he did donate
some money to Republicans as well, no doubt about it.
But Jeffrey Epstein's dive, if you will, with Republicans was
elsewhere the tech sector, etc. But when it comes to politicians,
Epstein was donating a lot of money to the Democrats
and that's not debatable. I'd like to add that Senator
Schumer is likely to attend the gathering, and I think
this will be an excellent chance to interact with two
key Senate Democrats, he wrote, referring to New York Senior
Senator Zuckerman's named surfaces repeatedly in the DOJ files. In
two thousand and nine, he exchanged emails with Epstein discussing
how to influence media coverage of the Sex Offenders two
thousand and eight Guilty Flea. At one point, according to
the files, Zuckerman wrote to Epstein, we are doing major
editing over huge objections. And this is another thing that
has been very obvious. The legacy media has been bought
and paid for. They ran cover for Epstein for all
these years, and then they show up late to the
party acting like they've cared. Well, they didn't care. And
I can't tell you how many times they ignored people
who had information about Jeffrey Epstein and his cohorts. And
I can tell you for a fact that they thought
this whole story was nothing more than a conspiracy theory.
Just days prior to Zuckerman's invitation, Epstein was asked to
attend a fundraiser for New York GOP representative Nicole Malatakis,
who was then a state assembly woman. The event, which
was ultimately postponed due to Hurricane Sandy, was said to
be co hosted by John Castemitis, the billionaire owner of Gristetis,
and a big Republican donor Castemitas Dame appeared in Epstein's
nineteen ninety seven address book, according to Business Insider. A
spokesperson for Amalia Takis told The Independent the congresswoman never
met Epstein, did not invite him to anything, and never
received a donation from him. Okay, sure, just your people, right. Look,
the buck stops at the top. Same shit with Trump?
Oh is everybody else? No, he's in charge right well,
buck stops with him. The following year, an employee at
a political fundraising firm penned a similar message to the
disgraced financier. Dear Jeffrey, I hope you received an invite
to the party that Congressman Akeeme jeffreyes this Wednesday night
in Manhattan, the email said, adding that it promises to
be a great night. Oh, I bet it did. I
bet it had a lot of promise. Huh. Come and
sit next to your favorite diddler because he's handing out money.
Burn it all to the ground, as far as I'm concerned,
Bernard all to the ground. In twenty seventeen, over a
decade after his first arrest, Epstein received another invitation to
a dinner with Jeffries now the top Democrat in the House.
The event, which included a meet and greet, was hosted
by Delegate Stacy Plaskett of the Virgin Islands, whose relationship
with Epstein triggered a center vote last year. Oh that's
all they talk about, though they don't give any kind
of context that she was part of a lawsuit filed
by Epstein's survivors, saying that she was part of the abuse,
not an actual physical part, but she conspired with and
she ate it and abedded in the abuse of the survivors.
But sure, let's just move on. Let's just move to
the next paragraph and act like nothing happened, like she
was just there. And this is a big problem with
the legacy media. They need to be very honest when
they're telling this story, or they're no better than cat
Turd or Gunther Eagleman or any of the other idiots
trying to runcover for the administration. They're no better. But
they should know better, they should do better, and they
should have learned their lesson the first time around. Stop
having faves, stop protecting people, and call balls and strikes
for what they are. In February of twenty thirteen, a
staffer at a political fundraising firm sent a message to
Ebstein on behalf of then New York Representative Joe Crowley,
who was in office until twenty nineteen. Jeffrey, hope you
can join me for my birthday gala next month. The
letter said. The party was set to be hosted at
the Dream Downtown Hotel in Manhattan, with a performance by
singer Willie Nile. The convicted sex offender, was again invited
to Crowley's gala the following year. Documents suggest oh, well,
Crowley had no idea. Come on, I would never have
anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein unless I'm having something
to do with Jeffrey Epstein. These people think you're so stupid.
That's really what they think. That's what it comes down to.
And they all want to blame everybody else, but they
were all involved. Everybody looked the other way as long
as the bag was right. Epstein was also offered access
to a more businesslike gathering. In April twenty eleven, former
DEA agent turned head of private security firm invited him
to a briefing with then New York Representative Peter King,
who represented Long Island until twenty twenty one. It was
said to be held at the Metropolitan Club, a private
social club in Manhattan's Upper east Side. Please be our
guest for a breakfast presentation with Congressman Peter King. The
invite said the topic of discussion was listed as homeland security.
Pretty odd that a guy that is just you know,
a loan predator, a lone wolf, is so ensconced with
so many people and intelligence and national security. I guess
it's just another coincidence. Right on the bright side, the
Dow Jones is over fifty thousand. Most folkspeople for the
name lawmakers did not respond to request for comment from
The Independent, with the exception of two who said the
elected officials never met Epstein. All of the Name lawmakers
who are currently in office voted to pass the Epstein
Files Transparency Act, which required that the DOJ released its
records on Epstein. Being named in the files is not
evidence of wrongdoing one on one meetings following his guilty plea,
the pedophile billionaire also received several emails inviting him to
one on one meetings with members of Congress. In July
twenty twelve, a staffer at a political fundraising firm wrote
to Epstein asking if he would meet with New Mexico
Senator Martin Heinrich, who was a representative at the time.
Congressman Martin Heinrich will be in New York City tomorrow
and would love to get lunch with you at around
twelve thirty pm if you're free. Twenty twelve. By the way,
and I'm sure that somebody in New Mexico wasn't giving
Epstein any kind of cover, right, No political cover in
New Mexico. That never happened. Are you guys paying attention yet?
The whole ass system, the whole thing is rotten, all
of it. And between twenty eleven and twenty fourteen, a
woman named Barbara Enbaum repeatedly asked Epstein if you would
meet with Colorado Representative Diana Gagett in the hopes of
setting up a sit down. She highlighted the congresswoman's dedication
to science. Oh yeah, because Jeffrey Epstein real smart guy.
Anybody who tells you that is lying to you. Dude,
was not smart? Was he savvy? Sure? Was he a
bit slick? Yeah? Was he devious as fuck? Yup? Was
he some kind of genius? No? Absolutely not. Are you
by chance in New York City this week. Next Monday,
my friend, Congresswoman Diana de Get from Colorado, is coming
to NYC for the New York Stem Cell Foundation. Gala
en Bomb wrote to Epstein in October twenty eleven email,
She's one of the few people in Congress who has
a scientific agenda and she's a good person. Want to
meet her. A spokesperson for to Get said she had
no knowledge of Enbam's relationship with Epstein and that the
congress woman never met the disgraced financier. No nobody ever
met anybody. Come on now, just a big conspiracy theory.
Mister Epstein did not attend the fundraisers that miss Enbaum
emailed about over a decade ago, nor did Representative to
Get ever receive any campaign contribution from mister Epstein. The
spokesperson told the independent Representative to Get strongly supports the
release of the full Epstein files. While political operatives repeatedly
tried to connect lawmakers with Epstein, the disgraced financier, for
his part, also pursued several former members of Congress. In
May of twenty eleven, epstein assistant sought to set up
a meeting with former Democratic main Senator George Mitchell, who
left office in nineteen ninety five. In November of twenty thirteen,
Epstein sent a message to Mitchell, writing that it was
a pleasure meeting him. And we all know that Virginia
says that George Mitchell is one of the guys who's
sexually abused her. So do with that as you will.
I mean, it's something that people need to come to
grips with Bill richardson, George Mitchell, both Democrats, certainly not Trumpions.
So my point is it's all corrupt both sides. It's
not just a one side or the other thing. And
the more we fight about that, the more we try
and make it into a political hand grenade, the more
chance we give for these people to get away with
their bullshit. And I flat out refuse. The following year,
former Democratic Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey, who left office in
twenty twenty one, was invited to a lunch with Epstein
at his cavernous Manhattan townhouse. Other high profile figures, venture
capitalists Peter Thiel and former CIA director Bill Burns, were
listed as potential guests, underscoring that Epstein's connections reach far
beyond the halls of Congress. Look, the whole point of
this article for me anyway, is just to point out
that both sides hate you, neither side cares about this,
and neither side wanted to put Epstein away. So does
that mean we should absolve Trump of the cover up
of all the bullshit. Of course not. But we have
to understand that it's not just about It's about the
system that let a man like this to rise, about
a system that continues to let a man like this thrive,
and about a system that not only let a man
like Epstein thrive, but protected him the whole entire time.
And just like any disease, it's the actual disease that
needs to be confronted and not just the symptoms. Because
I want you to aught to remember something, Republican, Democrat, whatever,
keep this in mind. It's a big ass club and
none of us are invited. All of the information that
