1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,919 Epstein Chronicles. One of the biggest mistakes you can make 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,359 when you're looking at Jeffrey Epstein in his crimes and 4 00:00:11,359 --> 00:00:15,199 his criminal organization is to try and fit it into 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,199 a box. Jeffrey Epstein was not a Republican, he was 6 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,719 not a Democrat, and didn't give two shits about loyalty 7 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,640 to country or party. All Jeffrey Epstein cared about was 8 00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:31,199 Jeffrey Epstein, and all of this fighting, all this arguing, 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,359 all this he said, she said, right versus left, pitchforks 10 00:00:35,439 --> 00:00:38,719 versus torches works to their advantage. So the more that 11 00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:41,679 we fight, the more that we argue, the better off 12 00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:44,200 they are and the easier it is for them to 13 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,320 continue to push whatever kind of crazy narrative they're trying 14 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,200 to push. But the truth is it's not a right 15 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,159 or left problem. It's a problem shared by both sides 16 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,479 because the people that are in charge, no matter what 17 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,960 political party they claim to be ian, they don't care 18 00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:06,200 about you. They have no desire to do anything for you, 19 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,719 and everything you see that comes out of their mouths, 20 00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:11,599 for the most part, is nothing more than theater. I mean, 21 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,439 just take a look at what's going on in Congress. 22 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,560 I mean, you'd think that all these people that are 23 00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:18,519 freaking out would want to talk to Stacy Plaskett, right, 24 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,120 they'd want to get her deposed, see what she knows. 25 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,359 It's not like she was part of a lawsuit saying 26 00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:28,719 that she was helping enable Jeffrey Epstein's operation. Oh wait, 27 00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:32,319 she was. Oh okay, might be something to talk about. 28 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,719 Might be a good conversation I have. And when people 29 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,519 like Jasmin Crockett refuse to even have the conversation, they 30 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,519 lose credibility because how can you demand that other people 31 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,200 get up there and talk about what they know while 32 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,560 you're giving your buddy a pass. Isn't that the same 33 00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:52,680 thing that we're here going crazy about Trump doing so 34 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:58,000 for me, the outrage and the anger is uniform. And 35 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,640 that's because I understand that it's not one or the other, 36 00:02:00,959 --> 00:02:03,879 it's all of them. And in this article from The Independent, 37 00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:08,080 we're going to talk about that a little bit more headline. 38 00:02:08,159 --> 00:02:11,400 Epstein was invited to gatherings with a dozen members of 39 00:02:11,439 --> 00:02:17,520 Congress years after his initial arrest. Documents reveal this article 40 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:23,800 was authored by Brendan Rasius. Look this shouldn't shock you, folks. Okay, Congress, 41 00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:27,400 the Senate, they have a slush fund that they use 42 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,439 to pay off accusers who make accusations against them. And 43 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,400 where do you think that money comes from? You think 44 00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:38,319 it's theirs? Wrong, We pay it the taxpayer. So just remember, 45 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,439 those are the people up there waxing, poetic, engaging in 46 00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:45,639 all this theater, acting like they care. Meanwhile, their own 47 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,520 colleagues are getting up to all kinds of no good. 48 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,159 And not only that, they're still trying to associate with 49 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:59,599 Jeffrey Epstein even after bro was arrested. In January of 50 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,879 two though eleven, Jeffrey Epstein received an email inviting him 51 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,800 to join a freshman congressman for a breakfast at a 52 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:12,159 luxury hotel in midtown Manhattan. The billionaire pedophile was promised 53 00:03:12,199 --> 00:03:15,960 the chance to rub shoulders with Representative Alan West, a 54 00:03:16,039 --> 00:03:22,360 rising star Florida Republican whose district encompassed Epstein's Palm Beach mansions. Well, 55 00:03:22,439 --> 00:03:26,879 I'm sure that the other neighborhood diddlers also received invites 56 00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:30,680 to come to the galla. Right, Oh it was just Epstein. Oh, 57 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,360 you just wanted his money. You didn't care about morality, 58 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,159 you didn't care about the girls that were abused. Makes sense, 59 00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:40,759 sounds about right. You will have the opportunity to explore 60 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,039 his views on a variety of issues, including spending, the 61 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:50,319 national debt, taxes, education, the economy, Islam, the big One, Israel, 62 00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:54,759 among others. The letter read, So they're trying to dangle 63 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,759 that as some kind of bait to get Epstein to 64 00:03:57,759 --> 00:03:59,759 come to the gala. Oh, you can talk to him 65 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:05,560 about Israel, Like what does that even mean? And don't 66 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,759 you people have like somebody that does research about who's 67 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,000 coming to your gala, about who you're inviting, So you 68 00:04:13,039 --> 00:04:16,240 can make up whatever excuse you want now. But at 69 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,519 the time, Jeffrey Epstein and his crimes were already known. 70 00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:24,279 Bro was already convicted. Okay, not for stealing a sandwich, 71 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,839 not for touching a girl who's seventeen the way some 72 00:04:29,879 --> 00:04:33,560 of these jerkofs want to frame it. We all know 73 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,079 what Jeffrey Epstein got him dubbed for, and we all 74 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,199 know that it would have been a lot more, including 75 00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:41,879 a life sentence, if the federal government would have done 76 00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:45,399 its job. An hour after it landed in his inbox, 77 00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:50,199 Epstein replied that he was unfortunately in the Caribbean. For Epstein, 78 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,920 this type of offer was far from unusual. After he 79 00:04:53,959 --> 00:04:57,399 pleaded guilty to procuring a minor for prostitution in two 80 00:04:57,399 --> 00:05:00,600 thousand and eight and served at thirteen months in jail, 81 00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:04,079 the convicted sex offender received offers to meet with over 82 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,199 a dozen current or former members of Congress. According to 83 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,240 the Independence analysis of documents released by the Department of Justice, 84 00:05:13,399 --> 00:05:17,680 most invitations delivered to Epstein's inbox were four exclusive gatherings, 85 00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:21,720 a birthday gala, a breakfast briefing, a fundraiser at a 86 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,360 billionaire's home. Some, though, sought to facilitate one on one 87 00:05:26,399 --> 00:05:31,079 meetings between elected officials and the disgraced financier. Over half 88 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,040 the lawmakers involved are from New York, New Mexico, and Florida, 89 00:05:35,439 --> 00:05:40,920 states where Epstein owns sprawling properties. Notable names include House 90 00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:45,480 Minority Leader Jakim Jeffreys, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and 91 00:05:45,639 --> 00:05:50,160 Senator Martin Heinrich. Every one of them should be deposed 92 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,480 if they have nothing to say cool it was just 93 00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:57,319 an email sent by a staffer. Great, but everybody gets 94 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,439 the business. I don't care who you are. You're caught 95 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,519 up in this and there's even a hint of public corruption. 96 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,519 You need to be deposed, you need to go under oath, 97 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,800 and you need to explain what you were up to. 98 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,439 We're talking about public funds now right. There needs to 99 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:18,079 be accountability and that means full transparency by all these people, Hakim, Jeffries, 100 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,480 Chuck Schumer, and Senator Martin Heinrich. And I've talked about 101 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,959 Chuck Schumer previously. There was a point in time where 102 00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:28,439 he was getting a grip of money from Jeffrey Epstein 103 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,079 and it wasn't until they got called out that they 104 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,439 returned the money or even acted like they cared. And 105 00:06:36,519 --> 00:06:39,079 if he was never called out, that money would have 106 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,279 been gone and spent, and he wouldn't have given a 107 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,160 damn about the people that were abused. You see, these 108 00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:46,920 people never care about the abuse. They never care that 109 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,240 we're getting stolen from. All they care about is that 110 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,959 they're getting outed. That's the big problem, not the crime, 111 00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:57,920 not the fact that they screwed everybody literally and figuratively, 112 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,160 but that they've been outed. That we know now that 113 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,399 the jig is up, and you see that they're doing 114 00:07:03,519 --> 00:07:06,519 anything in their power to try and change the narrative. 115 00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:09,160 I mean, they got the avengers of idiots out there 116 00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:14,639 defending the Jeffrey Epstein DOJ decisions and what the Epstein administration, 117 00:07:14,959 --> 00:07:18,480 I mean, the Trump administration's doing. And because it's their side, 118 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,680 their team, everything's okay, no big deal here, nothing to see. 119 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,879 This is all just a big political hoax. Intermediaries such 120 00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:30,240 as public relation executives and major donors with ties to 121 00:07:30,279 --> 00:07:34,360 Epstein issued the invitations, and it's unclear how many events 122 00:07:34,399 --> 00:07:39,120 Epstein attended, if any, or whether lawmakers themselves were aware 123 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,279 of the entreaties being made on their behalf. But taken together, 124 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,600 the documents reveal how many political insiders tied to Capitol 125 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,360 Hill viewed Epstein in the decade before his death. They 126 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,360 didn't shun the convicted sex offender or Purgam from their 127 00:07:55,399 --> 00:07:59,480 email lists. Instead, they persistently pursued them. And this is 128 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,160 what I mean. It's the whole ass system, folks, not 129 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,759 just Trump. Now. Of course, Trump is a different level 130 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,160 because he's the president, and in my opinion, he's overseeing 131 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,759 a cover up, So of course that's a big point 132 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,800 of conversation. But don't lose the plot. Don't go off 133 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,720 on side quests. The whole ass system is broken. And 134 00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:24,759 all these people had no problem breaking bread with Jeffrey 135 00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:30,600 Epstein and benefiting either directly or indirectly from his massive 136 00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:33,559 amount of wealth. And that's all that mattered, not the 137 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,320 people who were abused, not the girls, nobody. But now 138 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,519 you'll see all these people come out and say, well, 139 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,759 we return the money, we did this, we did that. 140 00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:47,120 The fact that you even emailed them is the problem. 141 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,200 And until people are ready to confront that and get 142 00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:53,320 rid of their demagoguery, it's going to be a big 143 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,840 problem moving forward. Because if we truly want to see justice, 144 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,120 if we truly want transparency, we need to create a 145 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,320 coalition of people that don't give a shit about ideology, 146 00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:09,559 that don't give a shit about politics, that understands that 147 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,360 this is the biggest issue, maybe that we have ever faced, 148 00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:17,120 and now that we know what's going on, there's no 149 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,879 running from it. This has to be confronted. And all 150 00:09:20,919 --> 00:09:22,960 the people that think that the world is the same 151 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,240 as it used to be when it comes to inviting 152 00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:29,080 people like Epstein back into the fold, they need to 153 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,879 be made aware that that's not the case. And for 154 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,559 all the people that enable Jeffrey Epstein they need to 155 00:09:34,639 --> 00:09:41,120 understand that they're going to be outed billionaire fundraisers, birthday galas, 156 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,799 and social club briefing. In November of twenty twelve, Mortimer Zuckerman, 157 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,000 the billionaire then owner of the New York Delhi News 158 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,000 and US News and World Report, sent an email to 159 00:09:52,039 --> 00:09:55,559 Epstein asking him to attend a fundraiser at his home 160 00:09:55,879 --> 00:09:59,960 for then Senator Max Baukis, a Montana Democrat who left 161 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,840 office in twenty fourteen. And look, it might be uncomfortable 162 00:10:04,879 --> 00:10:08,799 for some people, but Jeffrey Epstein donated a ton of 163 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,919 money to Democrats throughout the years. Now, he did donate 164 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,480 some money to Republicans as well, no doubt about it. 165 00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:20,480 But Jeffrey Epstein's dive, if you will, with Republicans was 166 00:10:20,519 --> 00:10:25,799 elsewhere the tech sector, etc. But when it comes to politicians, 167 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,720 Epstein was donating a lot of money to the Democrats 168 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,519 and that's not debatable. I'd like to add that Senator 169 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,720 Schumer is likely to attend the gathering, and I think 170 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,039 this will be an excellent chance to interact with two 171 00:10:39,159 --> 00:10:42,720 key Senate Democrats, he wrote, referring to New York Senior 172 00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:48,480 Senator Zuckerman's named surfaces repeatedly in the DOJ files. In 173 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,799 two thousand and nine, he exchanged emails with Epstein discussing 174 00:10:52,799 --> 00:10:56,240 how to influence media coverage of the Sex Offenders two 175 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,960 thousand and eight Guilty Flea. At one point, according to 176 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,039 the files, Zuckerman wrote to Epstein, we are doing major 177 00:11:04,159 --> 00:11:08,120 editing over huge objections. And this is another thing that 178 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,960 has been very obvious. The legacy media has been bought 179 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,120 and paid for. They ran cover for Epstein for all 180 00:11:15,159 --> 00:11:17,120 these years, and then they show up late to the 181 00:11:17,159 --> 00:11:22,240 party acting like they've cared. Well, they didn't care. And 182 00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:24,559 I can't tell you how many times they ignored people 183 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,639 who had information about Jeffrey Epstein and his cohorts. And 184 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,279 I can tell you for a fact that they thought 185 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,120 this whole story was nothing more than a conspiracy theory. 186 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:40,120 Just days prior to Zuckerman's invitation, Epstein was asked to 187 00:11:40,159 --> 00:11:45,519 attend a fundraiser for New York GOP representative Nicole Malatakis, 188 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,480 who was then a state assembly woman. The event, which 189 00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:52,720 was ultimately postponed due to Hurricane Sandy, was said to 190 00:11:52,759 --> 00:11:57,919 be co hosted by John Castemitis, the billionaire owner of Gristetis, 191 00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:02,480 and a big Republican donor Castemitas Dame appeared in Epstein's 192 00:12:02,519 --> 00:12:06,799 nineteen ninety seven address book, according to Business Insider. A 193 00:12:06,919 --> 00:12:11,559 spokesperson for Amalia Takis told The Independent the congresswoman never 194 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,519 met Epstein, did not invite him to anything, and never 195 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:20,360 received a donation from him. Okay, sure, just your people, right. Look, 196 00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:23,559 the buck stops at the top. Same shit with Trump? 197 00:12:23,919 --> 00:12:27,080 Oh is everybody else? No, he's in charge right well, 198 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,639 buck stops with him. The following year, an employee at 199 00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:34,720 a political fundraising firm penned a similar message to the 200 00:12:34,759 --> 00:12:38,720 disgraced financier. Dear Jeffrey, I hope you received an invite 201 00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:42,559 to the party that Congressman Akeeme jeffreyes this Wednesday night 202 00:12:42,759 --> 00:12:46,480 in Manhattan, the email said, adding that it promises to 203 00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:49,879 be a great night. Oh, I bet it did. I 204 00:12:49,919 --> 00:12:52,519 bet it had a lot of promise. Huh. Come and 205 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,960 sit next to your favorite diddler because he's handing out money. 206 00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:01,000 Burn it all to the ground, as far as I'm concerned, 207 00:13:01,039 --> 00:13:06,080 Bernard all to the ground. In twenty seventeen, over a 208 00:13:06,159 --> 00:13:10,159 decade after his first arrest, Epstein received another invitation to 209 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,879 a dinner with Jeffries now the top Democrat in the House. 210 00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:17,639 The event, which included a meet and greet, was hosted 211 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,720 by Delegate Stacy Plaskett of the Virgin Islands, whose relationship 212 00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:25,200 with Epstein triggered a center vote last year. Oh that's 213 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,960 all they talk about, though they don't give any kind 214 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,840 of context that she was part of a lawsuit filed 215 00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:37,360 by Epstein's survivors, saying that she was part of the abuse, 216 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:42,200 not an actual physical part, but she conspired with and 217 00:13:42,279 --> 00:13:45,919 she ate it and abedded in the abuse of the survivors. 218 00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:49,679 But sure, let's just move on. Let's just move to 219 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,759 the next paragraph and act like nothing happened, like she 220 00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:55,200 was just there. And this is a big problem with 221 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,799 the legacy media. They need to be very honest when 222 00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:01,759 they're telling this story, or they're no better than cat 223 00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:05,399 Turd or Gunther Eagleman or any of the other idiots 224 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:10,159 trying to runcover for the administration. They're no better. But 225 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,720 they should know better, they should do better, and they 226 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,600 should have learned their lesson the first time around. Stop 227 00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:19,519 having faves, stop protecting people, and call balls and strikes 228 00:14:19,679 --> 00:14:23,240 for what they are. In February of twenty thirteen, a 229 00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:27,039 staffer at a political fundraising firm sent a message to 230 00:14:27,039 --> 00:14:30,840 Ebstein on behalf of then New York Representative Joe Crowley, 231 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,440 who was in office until twenty nineteen. Jeffrey, hope you 232 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,799 can join me for my birthday gala next month. The 233 00:14:37,879 --> 00:14:41,200 letter said. The party was set to be hosted at 234 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,879 the Dream Downtown Hotel in Manhattan, with a performance by 235 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,480 singer Willie Nile. The convicted sex offender, was again invited 236 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:54,039 to Crowley's gala the following year. Documents suggest oh, well, 237 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,480 Crowley had no idea. Come on, I would never have 238 00:14:57,559 --> 00:15:00,679 anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein unless I'm having something 239 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,639 to do with Jeffrey Epstein. These people think you're so stupid. 240 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,559 That's really what they think. That's what it comes down to. 241 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,279 And they all want to blame everybody else, but they 242 00:15:10,279 --> 00:15:13,799 were all involved. Everybody looked the other way as long 243 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,279 as the bag was right. Epstein was also offered access 244 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,440 to a more businesslike gathering. In April twenty eleven, former 245 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,600 DEA agent turned head of private security firm invited him 246 00:15:25,679 --> 00:15:28,759 to a briefing with then New York Representative Peter King, 247 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,279 who represented Long Island until twenty twenty one. It was 248 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,639 said to be held at the Metropolitan Club, a private 249 00:15:36,639 --> 00:15:40,159 social club in Manhattan's Upper east Side. Please be our 250 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,720 guest for a breakfast presentation with Congressman Peter King. The 251 00:15:44,759 --> 00:15:49,519 invite said the topic of discussion was listed as homeland security. 252 00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:53,039 Pretty odd that a guy that is just you know, 253 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,159 a loan predator, a lone wolf, is so ensconced with 254 00:15:57,279 --> 00:16:02,759 so many people and intelligence and national security. I guess 255 00:16:02,799 --> 00:16:08,879 it's just another coincidence. Right on the bright side, the 256 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,159 Dow Jones is over fifty thousand. Most folkspeople for the 257 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,480 name lawmakers did not respond to request for comment from 258 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,759 The Independent, with the exception of two who said the 259 00:16:19,799 --> 00:16:24,120 elected officials never met Epstein. All of the Name lawmakers 260 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,080 who are currently in office voted to pass the Epstein 261 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:31,639 Files Transparency Act, which required that the DOJ released its 262 00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:35,159 records on Epstein. Being named in the files is not 263 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:40,480 evidence of wrongdoing one on one meetings following his guilty plea, 264 00:16:40,559 --> 00:16:44,919 the pedophile billionaire also received several emails inviting him to 265 00:16:45,039 --> 00:16:48,639 one on one meetings with members of Congress. In July 266 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,080 twenty twelve, a staffer at a political fundraising firm wrote 267 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,440 to Epstein asking if he would meet with New Mexico 268 00:16:56,559 --> 00:17:00,559 Senator Martin Heinrich, who was a representative at the time. 269 00:17:01,679 --> 00:17:04,880 Congressman Martin Heinrich will be in New York City tomorrow 270 00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:07,920 and would love to get lunch with you at around 271 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,960 twelve thirty pm if you're free. Twenty twelve. By the way, 272 00:17:13,039 --> 00:17:15,480 and I'm sure that somebody in New Mexico wasn't giving 273 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,960 Epstein any kind of cover, right, No political cover in 274 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,599 New Mexico. That never happened. Are you guys paying attention yet? 275 00:17:23,799 --> 00:17:27,359 The whole ass system, the whole thing is rotten, all 276 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:33,319 of it. And between twenty eleven and twenty fourteen, a 277 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,759 woman named Barbara Enbaum repeatedly asked Epstein if you would 278 00:17:37,759 --> 00:17:42,680 meet with Colorado Representative Diana Gagett in the hopes of 279 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,960 setting up a sit down. She highlighted the congresswoman's dedication 280 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,240 to science. Oh yeah, because Jeffrey Epstein real smart guy. 281 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,079 Anybody who tells you that is lying to you. Dude, 282 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,200 was not smart? Was he savvy? Sure? Was he a 283 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,640 bit slick? Yeah? Was he devious as fuck? Yup? Was 284 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:09,200 he some kind of genius? No? Absolutely not. Are you 285 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,440 by chance in New York City this week. Next Monday, 286 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,839 my friend, Congresswoman Diana de Get from Colorado, is coming 287 00:18:16,839 --> 00:18:20,720 to NYC for the New York Stem Cell Foundation. Gala 288 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,319 en Bomb wrote to Epstein in October twenty eleven email, 289 00:18:24,759 --> 00:18:27,680 She's one of the few people in Congress who has 290 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,759 a scientific agenda and she's a good person. Want to 291 00:18:30,759 --> 00:18:34,359 meet her. A spokesperson for to Get said she had 292 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,119 no knowledge of Enbam's relationship with Epstein and that the 293 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,000 congress woman never met the disgraced financier. No nobody ever 294 00:18:42,039 --> 00:18:47,759 met anybody. Come on now, just a big conspiracy theory. 295 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,000 Mister Epstein did not attend the fundraisers that miss Enbaum 296 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,799 emailed about over a decade ago, nor did Representative to 297 00:18:55,839 --> 00:19:00,200 Get ever receive any campaign contribution from mister Epstein. The 298 00:19:00,279 --> 00:19:05,279 spokesperson told the independent Representative to Get strongly supports the 299 00:19:05,319 --> 00:19:10,440 release of the full Epstein files. While political operatives repeatedly 300 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,960 tried to connect lawmakers with Epstein, the disgraced financier, for 301 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:20,079 his part, also pursued several former members of Congress. In 302 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,359 May of twenty eleven, epstein assistant sought to set up 303 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,200 a meeting with former Democratic main Senator George Mitchell, who 304 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,920 left office in nineteen ninety five. In November of twenty thirteen, 305 00:19:32,599 --> 00:19:35,559 Epstein sent a message to Mitchell, writing that it was 306 00:19:35,559 --> 00:19:39,799 a pleasure meeting him. And we all know that Virginia 307 00:19:39,839 --> 00:19:42,680 says that George Mitchell is one of the guys who's 308 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,799 sexually abused her. So do with that as you will. 309 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,480 I mean, it's something that people need to come to 310 00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:57,000 grips with Bill richardson, George Mitchell, both Democrats, certainly not Trumpions. 311 00:19:57,519 --> 00:20:01,359 So my point is it's all corrupt both sides. It's 312 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,759 not just a one side or the other thing. And 313 00:20:03,839 --> 00:20:05,960 the more we fight about that, the more we try 314 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,880 and make it into a political hand grenade, the more 315 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,039 chance we give for these people to get away with 316 00:20:12,079 --> 00:20:17,079 their bullshit. And I flat out refuse. The following year, 317 00:20:17,319 --> 00:20:21,039 former Democratic Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey, who left office in 318 00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:24,279 twenty twenty one, was invited to a lunch with Epstein 319 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:29,559 at his cavernous Manhattan townhouse. Other high profile figures, venture 320 00:20:29,599 --> 00:20:34,079 capitalists Peter Thiel and former CIA director Bill Burns, were 321 00:20:34,079 --> 00:20:38,000 listed as potential guests, underscoring that Epstein's connections reach far 322 00:20:38,039 --> 00:20:41,240 beyond the halls of Congress. Look, the whole point of 323 00:20:41,279 --> 00:20:44,839 this article for me anyway, is just to point out 324 00:20:45,079 --> 00:20:48,799 that both sides hate you, neither side cares about this, 325 00:20:49,279 --> 00:20:52,039 and neither side wanted to put Epstein away. So does 326 00:20:52,039 --> 00:20:55,599 that mean we should absolve Trump of the cover up 327 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,039 of all the bullshit. Of course not. But we have 328 00:20:58,079 --> 00:21:01,000 to understand that it's not just about It's about the 329 00:21:01,039 --> 00:21:04,000 system that let a man like this to rise, about 330 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,240 a system that continues to let a man like this thrive, 331 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,680 and about a system that not only let a man 332 00:21:11,759 --> 00:21:15,319 like Epstein thrive, but protected him the whole entire time. 333 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,039 And just like any disease, it's the actual disease that 334 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,839 needs to be confronted and not just the symptoms. Because 335 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,920 I want you to aught to remember something, Republican, Democrat, whatever, 336 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,160 keep this in mind. It's a big ass club and 337 00:21:32,279 --> 00:21:36,839 none of us are invited. All of the information that 338 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,680 goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
