Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. One of the wildest positions that somebody can
take is to not want these files to be released,
especially when the people who want to stop it consistently
yelled and screamed about locking people up for the last
eight ten years. But now all of a sudden, we
have actual disgusting individuals who need to be locked up,
and we should pump the brakes. The files shouldn't be released.
We should worry about people's reputations, which is crazy as well,
considering they've had all these years to come forward and
explain themselves and they never did. In fact, they all
lied about it. And now that they're getting called out,
you have people out here talking about reputational abuse, talking
about dragging people through the mud, and it's telling all
these people that are worried about these scumbags and their reputations,
they don't have anything to say about this, no words
of sympathy. In fact, instead they try to set them
up and call them traffickers themselves. So you see what's
going on here. They're trying to flip the narrative, they're
trying to steal the narrative. And they're all dancing to
the tune that's being played by Donald Trump. But in
my opinion, if you have nothing to hide, then you'd
want all these files to see the light of day.
And on the flip side of that, if you're carrying
on the way the Trump administration is carrying on, the
question is what are you hiding? Today? We have an
article from The Hill and the headline release the rest
of the Epstein files. Now, this article was authored by
William S. Becker. More than fifty years ago, whistleblower Daniel
Ellsberg released thousands of pages of top secret information that
revealed how successive American presidents lied to the American people
about the Vietnam War. Tens of thousands of US vis
men died unnecessarily because of the cover up. Don't think
that this is the first cover up, folks, and most
certainly is not. But we've been able to pull some
threads here and we've been able to disrupt it. Now,
we haven't made it go away, but I think we've
done a great job at disrupting what they planned. And
as they adjust on the fly, they're making mistakes. Although
the Pentagon papers revealed a much different type of tragedy.
The Epstein files will end with a similar result. One
way or another. The truth will come out, I really
hope so. I think we all deserve the truth, right,
We all deserve to know what's going on, how our
tax dollars are being spent, what sort of scumbags the
government is in bed with. These are all things that
are important to the American people, and the fact that
they try to cover this up continuously is going to
blow up in their faces when all of this finally
comes out. It's going to be so bad, and it's
going to cause so much reputational harm to these institutions
that I don't think there's going to be any recovery
from it. The Pentagon Papers were a study of Vietnam
War ordered by Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. They consisted
of forty seven volumes, three thousand pages of analysis, and
four thousand government documents. To hold them close, the task
force that conducted the study made only fifteen copies. Ellsberg
was a contractor who worked on the study. In nineteen
seventy one, he put himself in legal jeopardy by giving
a copy to Marcus Raskin, the late father of Representative
Jamie Raskin. Raskin, who worked at the National Security Council,
linked Elsberg up with The New York Times, which published
the study on its first page. Look, whistleblowers are heroes, man.
We need more of them. And if you notice, that's
why they're trying to get rid of the protection for
the whistleblowers in such an aggressive manner. They don't want
these people ratting them out. In my opinion, people like
this heroes. The American people deserve to know what their
government is doing. It revealed that President Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower,
John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon Johnson had systematically led to
Congress and the American people about the war's progress. They
knew it was unwinnable, but allowed it to continue. Although
President Richard Nixon's Vietnam policy were not a part of
the study, he continued the pattern tens of thousands of
US servicemen died needlessly. Vietnam was the biggest joke in
the history of jokes, and the fact that we were
even there is such a stain on our country. The
Pentagon Papers caused lasting damage to American people's trust in
the federal go government. That trust is being damaged again
now by the Epstein Papers, the millions of documents withheld
from Congress and the American people by the US Department
of Justice. They may contain information about the sex trafficking
of young women and even miners by powerful people in
the orbit of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Blaine Maxwell.
Not may they do now, not to the level that
some people will have you believe. And I've told you
that for a very long time, Epstein wasn't running a
traditional trafficking service like Heidi Fleiss. The girls were part
of the sweetener for the people he was trying to cajole.
So it wasn't like he was, you know, setting people
up on back Page or Craigslist. That's not what he
was doing. And when I say there's layers to this,
that's what I'm talking about. Last November, with nearly unanimous
bipartisan approval, Congress passed and President Trump signed, the Epstein
Files Transparency Act requires a Justice Department to publicly release
all unclassified material related to these allegations. However, the Department
subsequently ignored the laws deadline, releasing only three million documents
that did not fully comply with the law's instructions, and
what was the penalty. Nothing? They could just do whatever
they want. Must be nice to be the DOJ that
puts Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche
and FBI Director Cash Pattel and direct violation of the law.
They're preventing justice for dozens of women and girls, thousands,
by the way, some as young as fourteen, who were
allegedly trafficked, raped, or brutalized. The Justice departments failure to
investigate thoroughly and prosecute span several presidencies, both Republican and Democratic.
I think people need to focus on that more. This
is the whole system failure here, folks. The whole engine broke.
We're not just talking about, you know, the brake system
going down or the transmission. The whole ass engine blew up,
and then we just drove around with a blown ass
engine like it was no big deal. Well, I assure you,
it's a big deal, and now we want answers. Raskin,
who has seen many of the files, reports that Trump's
name appears more than a million times. Because the president's
personal history is already riddled with allegations of inappropriate and
unwanted sexual conduct with women. The Justice Department's behavior leaves
doubts as to whether the remaining files would totally exonerate
him of wrongdoing. In Epstein's orbit, as he claims, if
that is truly the case, he could remove any doubt
by ordering the Department's release of all of them. And
that's exactly what I've said from the jump, and all
the excuses that are put forward by Trump's supporters or
all moot. If he has nothing to hide and he'll
be exonerated, why not release all the files. That's it,
That's all. And I know I said it once, and
I'll say it a million more times. If it was me,
I'd demand that every files released, and then anybody who
said anything crazy about me, I'd sue them. Oh I
molested you, I hurt you. Okay, let's go to court.
I'll see you a discovery. We haven't seen much of that,
have we. Congress's credibility is on the line now. It
must assert its oversight responsibility and review the documents to
determine whether there are legitimate reasons to withhold them from
the public. The Justice Department's behavior already constitutes grounds for
impeaching Bondie Blanche and Patel. We shouldn't assume that impeachment
and conviction would be futile with Congress under Republican control.
What member of Congress wants his legacy or her legacy
tarnished by helping to cover up sex crimes at the
highest levels of society. You know, I used to think
the same thing, But they've done a pretty good job
trying to frame this as a hoax, and you see
the pivot. They're even attacking the girls who were abused.
So if you're coming from that angle that place, do
you really think they're going to vote for impeaching Bondie
Blanche and Patel. I have my doubts. Look, I don't
trust any of these people, Republican or Democrat, but the
way the Republicans are conducting themselves right now is absolutely disgusting,
especially considering the Republicans were on top of the hill
yelling about Epstein for years, but now that their guy
is in the crosshairs, that he's mentioned a bunch of times,
it's all a hoax. Talk about losing credibility and losing
it fast with the entire House of Representatives and the
third of the Senate facing reelection in eight months, who
is willing to go on record as a co conspirator
in the Justice Department's cover up. Well, a lot of
people look at that Wayne Mullen, whatever his name is,
the idiot that just took over for NOME, or the
moron who didn't vote for this, or the idiots who
get up there in Congress and don't ask questions about
the survivors and ask Pam Bondy about the TAO. You
really think those people care. Their loyalty isn't even a
party or a country. Their loyalty is to Donald Trump.
And I have a hard time believing that these people
are gonna break ranks and do the right thing now. Obviously,
I would love to be surprised, and I would love
to come here and eat crow and say to you, look,
I was completely wrong. Congress. They really care about this,
and they're gonna pursue it to the ends of the earth.
I have a funny feeling I'll never be coming here
and saying that who wants to be on record that
rich and powerful men are above the law while children
are unprotected from the vice list of crimes and who
wants to show that the Republican Party is loyal to
or afraid of predators. We've seen Trump resort to dangerous
behavior to distract the country when he feels cornered. Reckless
wars appear to be among them. It's time for the
government to prove it will demand justice without fear or favor.
We shouldn't have to rely on another Elsberg to make
that happen. And look, I agree one thousand percent. Now's
the time. No more screwing around. We're talking about decades here,
and as far as I'm concerned, anybody that's still standing
in the way of this release is complicit. All the
