Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. Listen, there's a certain kind of theater that
plays out in Washington. When we've all seen so many times,
it should almost feel routine, but somehow it never seems
to lose its sting. Politicians thunder on the campaign trail,
waving their fists and promising that they'll tear down the
corrupt and defend the innocent. They wrap themselves in the
mantle of justice as though it were a costume pulled
from a trunk ready to be discarded. When the scene changes,
the rhetoric is loud, the indignation rehearsed, and the applause
lines carefully crafted to land us right. And yet when
the stage shifts to the halls of power, when words
are sworn into the record and actual accountability hangs in
the balance, the volume drops. The bravado vanishes, and in
its place comes a slick, calculated retreat into evasions and hedges.
You know and I know that it's the classic bait
and switch, the oldest trick in the Beltwagh playbook. Out
on the trail. Outrage is free to sell. Outrage is currency.
Outrage gets the cameras rolling, but under the harsh fluorescent
lights of the Senate Chamber, outrage suddenly morphs into denial,
as though the same facts that were once so damning
are now somehow irrelevant or unproven. The very testimony that
was paraded as evidence of corruption is suddenly deemed unworthy,
not credible, unfit to shake the halls of power. And
in that whiplash inducing pivot, you see the game for
what it is, because make no mistake, this is not
about discovering new evidence or reevaluating the facts. The facts
have always been there, staring anyone with eyes straight in
the face. This is about convenience. Outrage is convenient when
it fills stadiums or fires up a base, when it
makes the politician sound like a warrior for truth. But
when that same outrage threatens to rattle the foundations of
the very institutions at grant them the power, suddenly the
mass slips and the outrage gets downgraded into dismissive talking points.
It's a performance that's designed to protect, not expose. It
doesn't matter how many survivors spoke, how many documents have surfaced,
how many times the truth clawed its way into the
public record. The script says, to feign moral clarity when
it costs nothing, and to retreat into empty legalisms when
it costs everything. And in that switch, in that very hypocrisy,
the truth about priorities become undeniable. So when you hear
the words, when you watch the performance, you can't help
but ask yourself, was any of it ever about justice?
Or was it always just another act in the long
running play to shield the powerful from consequence. The more
you see it, the clearer the answer becomes. And that
right there is the backdrop to what unfolded here, a
moment when the act fell apart, the mass slipped, and
the hypococracy practically shouted its own name from the Senate record.
So let your boy get this straight. Cash Valhalla Patel,
who spent the better part of the campaign trail thundering
about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes like he was auditioning for a
true crime podcast, is going to now sit in front
of the Senate and Congress and deadpan that there were
no credible evidence Epstein traffic girls to anyone. Ha Haul bravo, Cash,
truly Shakespearean in the art of hypocrisy. One minute Epstein
is the boogeyman you used to rile up the base.
The next minute, he's just a misunderstood financier with a
taste for massages. The gall is breathtaking. This is the
same dude who wants practically shouted from the rooftops that
Epstein's operation was the embodiment of elite corruption. He preamed
about it on podcasts, fundraisers and campaign stops, clutching his
pearls about how the American people had been betrayed, But
face with the record where words actually matter, he suddenly
decides that survivors are not credible. That's not just a
flip flop. We're talking about a full Olympic level backflip
into a pool of sewage. Imagine how the survivors must
feel listening to this dude, the guy that milked their
trauma for political capital, dangling their pain as evidence of
swamp corruption, and then, when given the chance to stand
up for them, he chose to kick them in the teeth.
It's almost as if their testimony only matters when it
can be weaponized for applause lines, not when it threatens
actual institutions of power. And let's not forget that Bettel
used Epstein as shorthand for everything wrong with Washington, New York, Hollywood,
pick a target. He had Epstein's name on his lips.
Epstein was his prop, his rhetorical punching bag, his boogeyman
of choice. And now now Bettel is suddenly the arbiter
of credibility, dismissing sworn testimony as though it's gossip overheard
in a nel salon Homie, give me a break. Chasm
almost writes itself Cash battel, defender of truth and scourge
of the elites, until, of course, defending truth means standing
behind women who actually testified about being trafficked. At that point,
Cash folds like a cheap hand of cards in Las
Vegas at two AM and three hundred milligrams of edibles. Suddenly,
the man who never missed an opportunity to moralize about
Epstein on the stump is just another government mouthpiece pretending
the record doesn't exist. What happened to all that righteous indignation? Cash?
Where did all the fire go? Was it misplaced in
some senate cloak room before your testimony? Or was it
always a stick a way to rile up crowds while
never actually intending to confront the real machinery that enabled
Epstein's crimes. You know the answer is obvious. It was
theater all along. And here's the thing, My mockery is
almost too kind for this. Pateel's hypocrisy isn't just embarrassing,
it's disgusting. He turned Epstein into a campaign prop and
then turned his back on survivors the second his word
might inconvenience the powerful. He's like the dude that rails
against pornography in public, but behind the scenes he's out
here acting like Chuck Rhodes. And the survivors, I can
promise you they're shaking their heads. They've listened to Betel's
fiery stump speeches where he condemned Epstein as a monster,
and they might have thought, finally someone gets it. Instead, well,
they get the same old baitens, which we got by
another operator whose loyalty lies not with them but with
protecting the system. And considering all that we've seen, he
didn't just fail them, He used them. Cash didn't even
bother to deny that there was evidence. He said there
was no credible evidence. That weasel phrase is a lawyer's trick.
It's not about the absence of facts. It's about branding
facts inconvenient to your narrative as unreliable translation. The testimony
of women who survived Epstein's trafficking ring doesn't count because
it doesn't fit the script anymore. But let's be real.
If Bateell truly believed Epstein never traffic girls to anyone,
then why did he spend so long beloviating about Epstein's
network in the first place. Did he not read the depositions,
Did he not see the settlements JP Morgan and Deutsche
Bank paid out? Did he miss Maxwell's conviction? Or does
he think that all of that just happened in a vacuum.
Maybe Epstein traffic girls only to the air molecules floating
around Little Saint James, and it's like being on an
acid trip on the campaign trail. Epstein proves the corruption
of the elites in front of Congress survivors. Oh sorry,
not credible? Yoh? Which is it? Cash? Either Epstein was
a monstrous trafficker who catered to the powerful, or he
was just some lonely guy with a massage fetish. You
can't have it both ways. And here's where the sarcasm sharpens.
Cash Bettel is not stupid. He knows exactly what Epstein
was and what survivors testified to. He knows the record
is full of corroboration. But in the arena where accountability
lives Congress, in the Senate, he chose to discard truth
for spin. He chose to discard survivors for expedients. He
chose the cover up over the victims. Let's pause and
appreciate the irony of a man who wants promise to
drain the swamp now acting as a swamp creature's defense attorney.
If Betel had shown up in a pinstriped suit with
epstein legal defense embroidered on his lapel, the performance couldn't
have been more obvious. My man wasn't speaking to Congress.
He was speaking to the powerful man trembling at the
thought of what those unsealed documents might show and for
what to look like, the royal soldier, the man who
can be trusted to tow the line and bury inconvenient truths.
This shit is the oldest game in town. Pretend survivor
testimony doesn't exist, label it as not credible, and hope
the public drugs and move on. Spoiler, the survivors aren't
moving on, and neither are we. And look, wish this
mockery didn't right itself, but it does. Cash. You built
your brand on epstein outrage, and now you're back pedaling
so fast you might as well enter the Tour de
France and reverse. How long before you start telling us
Epstein was just a misunderstood philanthropist who liked to fly
friends around on his private jet for charity work. What
Betel's testimony really revealed is this. His indignation was never
about the survivors. It was never about justice. It was
always about utility Epstein. The talking point was useful Epstein,
The scandal with consequences, well, that shit's dangerous. Ptel isn't
brave enough to confront the latter, so he hides behind
the farce of no credible evidence. The congressional hearing exposed
the truth, but not in the way Patel hoped. It
showed that Cash Patel is no warrior for justice, no
defender of truth. He's a man willing to use the
pain of survivors when it serves them and discard them
when it threatens them. He is hypocrisy and car it.
So let's mock this shit for what it is, a
performance of cowardice. Cash Betel wants the loudest voice condemning Epstein,
now's the quietest shill for his enablers. Survivors are left
once again as a powerful circle the wagons, while the
Lord of Valhalla plays his part in the cover up
chorus history. You won't forget this pivot, Cash, The hypocrisy
is too glaring, the betrayal too loud. You went from
crowing about Epstein's crimes to sneering at survivor testimony. And
when the record's written, and you better believe it will be,
your name's going to sit where it belongs among those
who chose cover up overtruth. All of the information that
