1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,439 Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,799 Epstein Chronicles. One of the wildest positions that somebody can 3 00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:11,759 take is to not want these files to be released, 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,839 especially when the people who want to stop it consistently 5 00:00:15,919 --> 00:00:20,800 yelled and screamed about locking people up for the last 6 00:00:20,839 --> 00:00:23,320 eight ten years. But now all of a sudden, we 7 00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:27,120 have actual disgusting individuals who need to be locked up, 8 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,480 and we should pump the brakes. The files shouldn't be released. 9 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,719 We should worry about people's reputations, which is crazy as well, 10 00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:39,159 considering they've had all these years to come forward and 11 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,679 explain themselves and they never did. In fact, they all 12 00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:45,520 lied about it. And now that they're getting called out, 13 00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:49,640 you have people out here talking about reputational abuse, talking 14 00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:53,479 about dragging people through the mud, and it's telling all 15 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,000 these people that are worried about these scumbags and their reputations, 16 00:00:58,439 --> 00:01:02,439 they don't have anything to say about this, no words 17 00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:05,920 of sympathy. In fact, instead they try to set them 18 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,239 up and call them traffickers themselves. So you see what's 19 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,959 going on here. They're trying to flip the narrative, they're 20 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,920 trying to steal the narrative. And they're all dancing to 21 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,239 the tune that's being played by Donald Trump. But in 22 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,040 my opinion, if you have nothing to hide, then you'd 23 00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:24,359 want all these files to see the light of day. 24 00:01:24,879 --> 00:01:27,599 And on the flip side of that, if you're carrying 25 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,680 on the way the Trump administration is carrying on, the 26 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,200 question is what are you hiding? Today? We have an 27 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,000 article from The Hill and the headline release the rest 28 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,519 of the Epstein files. Now, this article was authored by 29 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,840 William S. Becker. More than fifty years ago, whistleblower Daniel 30 00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:51,760 Ellsberg released thousands of pages of top secret information that 31 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,879 revealed how successive American presidents lied to the American people 32 00:01:56,439 --> 00:02:00,159 about the Vietnam War. Tens of thousands of US vis 33 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,840 men died unnecessarily because of the cover up. Don't think 34 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,840 that this is the first cover up, folks, and most 35 00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:11,360 certainly is not. But we've been able to pull some 36 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,960 threads here and we've been able to disrupt it. Now, 37 00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:18,479 we haven't made it go away, but I think we've 38 00:02:18,479 --> 00:02:22,080 done a great job at disrupting what they planned. And 39 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,360 as they adjust on the fly, they're making mistakes. Although 40 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,280 the Pentagon papers revealed a much different type of tragedy. 41 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,080 The Epstein files will end with a similar result. One 42 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,599 way or another. The truth will come out, I really 43 00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:39,960 hope so. I think we all deserve the truth, right, 44 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,159 We all deserve to know what's going on, how our 45 00:02:42,199 --> 00:02:45,719 tax dollars are being spent, what sort of scumbags the 46 00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:48,960 government is in bed with. These are all things that 47 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,479 are important to the American people, and the fact that 48 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,960 they try to cover this up continuously is going to 49 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,759 blow up in their faces when all of this finally 50 00:02:59,759 --> 00:03:02,719 comes out. It's going to be so bad, and it's 51 00:03:02,759 --> 00:03:06,280 going to cause so much reputational harm to these institutions 52 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,800 that I don't think there's going to be any recovery 53 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:14,000 from it. The Pentagon Papers were a study of Vietnam 54 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,400 War ordered by Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. They consisted 55 00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:22,719 of forty seven volumes, three thousand pages of analysis, and 56 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,400 four thousand government documents. To hold them close, the task 57 00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:31,680 force that conducted the study made only fifteen copies. Ellsberg 58 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,800 was a contractor who worked on the study. In nineteen 59 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,840 seventy one, he put himself in legal jeopardy by giving 60 00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:41,560 a copy to Marcus Raskin, the late father of Representative 61 00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:46,319 Jamie Raskin. Raskin, who worked at the National Security Council, 62 00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:49,719 linked Elsberg up with The New York Times, which published 63 00:03:49,759 --> 00:03:55,840 the study on its first page. Look, whistleblowers are heroes, man. 64 00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:00,240 We need more of them. And if you notice, that's 65 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,240 why they're trying to get rid of the protection for 66 00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:07,319 the whistleblowers in such an aggressive manner. They don't want 67 00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:10,960 these people ratting them out. In my opinion, people like 68 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:17,680 this heroes. The American people deserve to know what their 69 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:25,160 government is doing. It revealed that President Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, 70 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,000 John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon Johnson had systematically led to 71 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,839 Congress and the American people about the war's progress. They 72 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,319 knew it was unwinnable, but allowed it to continue. Although 73 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,199 President Richard Nixon's Vietnam policy were not a part of 74 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,879 the study, he continued the pattern tens of thousands of 75 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,600 US servicemen died needlessly. Vietnam was the biggest joke in 76 00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:51,800 the history of jokes, and the fact that we were 77 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,839 even there is such a stain on our country. The 78 00:04:55,879 --> 00:04:59,480 Pentagon Papers caused lasting damage to American people's trust in 79 00:04:59,519 --> 00:05:02,480 the federal go government. That trust is being damaged again 80 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,639 now by the Epstein Papers, the millions of documents withheld 81 00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:10,199 from Congress and the American people by the US Department 82 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,720 of Justice. They may contain information about the sex trafficking 83 00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:17,800 of young women and even miners by powerful people in 84 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,000 the orbit of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Blaine Maxwell. 85 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,000 Not may they do now, not to the level that 86 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,480 some people will have you believe. And I've told you 87 00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:31,120 that for a very long time, Epstein wasn't running a 88 00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:36,279 traditional trafficking service like Heidi Fleiss. The girls were part 89 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,000 of the sweetener for the people he was trying to cajole. 90 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,759 So it wasn't like he was, you know, setting people 91 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,439 up on back Page or Craigslist. That's not what he 92 00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:49,160 was doing. And when I say there's layers to this, 93 00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:53,560 that's what I'm talking about. Last November, with nearly unanimous 94 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,000 bipartisan approval, Congress passed and President Trump signed, the Epstein 95 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,959 Files Transparency Act requires a Justice Department to publicly release 96 00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:08,680 all unclassified material related to these allegations. However, the Department 97 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,120 subsequently ignored the laws deadline, releasing only three million documents 98 00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:17,360 that did not fully comply with the law's instructions, and 99 00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:21,000 what was the penalty. Nothing? They could just do whatever 100 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,839 they want. Must be nice to be the DOJ that 101 00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:28,079 puts Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche 102 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,920 and FBI Director Cash Pattel and direct violation of the law. 103 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,439 They're preventing justice for dozens of women and girls, thousands, 104 00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:39,120 by the way, some as young as fourteen, who were 105 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,759 allegedly trafficked, raped, or brutalized. The Justice departments failure to 106 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:49,399 investigate thoroughly and prosecute span several presidencies, both Republican and Democratic. 107 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,600 I think people need to focus on that more. This 108 00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:56,839 is the whole system failure here, folks. The whole engine broke. 109 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,720 We're not just talking about, you know, the brake system 110 00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:04,160 going down or the transmission. The whole ass engine blew up, 111 00:07:05,079 --> 00:07:07,399 and then we just drove around with a blown ass 112 00:07:07,439 --> 00:07:11,279 engine like it was no big deal. Well, I assure you, 113 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,800 it's a big deal, and now we want answers. Raskin, 114 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,560 who has seen many of the files, reports that Trump's 115 00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:23,120 name appears more than a million times. Because the president's 116 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,759 personal history is already riddled with allegations of inappropriate and 117 00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:32,160 unwanted sexual conduct with women. The Justice Department's behavior leaves 118 00:07:32,399 --> 00:07:36,120 doubts as to whether the remaining files would totally exonerate 119 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,639 him of wrongdoing. In Epstein's orbit, as he claims, if 120 00:07:40,639 --> 00:07:43,560 that is truly the case, he could remove any doubt 121 00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:47,000 by ordering the Department's release of all of them. And 122 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,319 that's exactly what I've said from the jump, and all 123 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,639 the excuses that are put forward by Trump's supporters or 124 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,160 all moot. If he has nothing to hide and he'll 125 00:07:56,199 --> 00:08:01,480 be exonerated, why not release all the files. That's it, 126 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,120 That's all. And I know I said it once, and 127 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,959 I'll say it a million more times. If it was me, 128 00:08:07,839 --> 00:08:11,759 I'd demand that every files released, and then anybody who 129 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,319 said anything crazy about me, I'd sue them. Oh I 130 00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:19,079 molested you, I hurt you. Okay, let's go to court. 131 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,680 I'll see you a discovery. We haven't seen much of that, 132 00:08:22,759 --> 00:08:28,680 have we. Congress's credibility is on the line now. It 133 00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:32,360 must assert its oversight responsibility and review the documents to 134 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,879 determine whether there are legitimate reasons to withhold them from 135 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:40,639 the public. The Justice Department's behavior already constitutes grounds for 136 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:45,080 impeaching Bondie Blanche and Patel. We shouldn't assume that impeachment 137 00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:49,200 and conviction would be futile with Congress under Republican control. 138 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,240 What member of Congress wants his legacy or her legacy 139 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,039 tarnished by helping to cover up sex crimes at the 140 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,080 highest levels of society. You know, I used to think 141 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,759 the same thing, But they've done a pretty good job 142 00:09:02,799 --> 00:09:06,720 trying to frame this as a hoax, and you see 143 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,200 the pivot. They're even attacking the girls who were abused. 144 00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:14,240 So if you're coming from that angle that place, do 145 00:09:14,279 --> 00:09:18,799 you really think they're going to vote for impeaching Bondie 146 00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:23,039 Blanche and Patel. I have my doubts. Look, I don't 147 00:09:23,039 --> 00:09:27,000 trust any of these people, Republican or Democrat, but the 148 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,799 way the Republicans are conducting themselves right now is absolutely disgusting, 149 00:09:32,879 --> 00:09:36,480 especially considering the Republicans were on top of the hill 150 00:09:36,759 --> 00:09:39,879 yelling about Epstein for years, but now that their guy 151 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,679 is in the crosshairs, that he's mentioned a bunch of times, 152 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,840 it's all a hoax. Talk about losing credibility and losing 153 00:09:47,919 --> 00:09:52,759 it fast with the entire House of Representatives and the 154 00:09:52,799 --> 00:09:55,799 third of the Senate facing reelection in eight months, who 155 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,320 is willing to go on record as a co conspirator 156 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,399 in the Justice Department's cover up. Well, a lot of 157 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,559 people look at that Wayne Mullen, whatever his name is, 158 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,919 the idiot that just took over for NOME, or the 159 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,519 moron who didn't vote for this, or the idiots who 160 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,200 get up there in Congress and don't ask questions about 161 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,120 the survivors and ask Pam Bondy about the TAO. You 162 00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:21,679 really think those people care. Their loyalty isn't even a 163 00:10:21,759 --> 00:10:25,039 party or a country. Their loyalty is to Donald Trump. 164 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,639 And I have a hard time believing that these people 165 00:10:27,759 --> 00:10:32,000 are gonna break ranks and do the right thing now. Obviously, 166 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,240 I would love to be surprised, and I would love 167 00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:37,840 to come here and eat crow and say to you, look, 168 00:10:37,879 --> 00:10:41,360 I was completely wrong. Congress. They really care about this, 169 00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:43,759 and they're gonna pursue it to the ends of the earth. 170 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,440 I have a funny feeling I'll never be coming here 171 00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:55,679 and saying that who wants to be on record that 172 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,600 rich and powerful men are above the law while children 173 00:10:58,639 --> 00:11:01,600 are unprotected from the vice list of crimes and who 174 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,200 wants to show that the Republican Party is loyal to 175 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:09,320 or afraid of predators. We've seen Trump resort to dangerous 176 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,879 behavior to distract the country when he feels cornered. Reckless 177 00:11:12,919 --> 00:11:15,519 wars appear to be among them. It's time for the 178 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,360 government to prove it will demand justice without fear or favor. 179 00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:23,080 We shouldn't have to rely on another Elsberg to make 180 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,120 that happen. And look, I agree one thousand percent. Now's 181 00:11:26,159 --> 00:11:32,000 the time. No more screwing around. We're talking about decades here, 182 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,639 and as far as I'm concerned, anybody that's still standing 183 00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:40,600 in the way of this release is complicit. All the 184 00:11:40,639 --> 00:11:43,879 information that goes with this episode can be found in 185 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,960 the description box.
