WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.379 What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. 2 00:00:04.660 --> 00:00:07.400 Tonight we have two articles that we're going to dive into. 3 00:00:07.900 --> 00:00:12.140 One from Newsweek and one from The Sun. The first 4 00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:15.960 article we're going to discuss is one dealing with the 5 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.359 situation surrounding juror number 50 and the request to keep 6 00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:23.859 the documents sealed. Now we've talked about this a bunch 7 00:00:24.179 --> 00:00:27.019 and there really has not been too much movement one 8 00:00:27.070 --> 00:00:29.460 way or the other that we need to add on here. 9 00:00:29.969 --> 00:00:33.880 But as you all know, context is very important. And 10 00:00:33.979 --> 00:00:36.700 I like to make sure we add all of the 11 00:00:36.939 --> 00:00:39.979 little things even to the catalog as we move forward. 12 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:44.420 So the team for Ghislaine Maxwell, they want to keep 13 00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:47.659 this stuff under seal. And they assert that if it's 14 00:00:47.740 --> 00:00:51.829 not under seal, then there's a chance that juror number 50, 15 00:00:51.829 --> 00:00:55.030 Scotty David, might get some evidence that he shouldn't have 16 00:00:55.130 --> 00:00:58.030 access to. And they want to do everything in their 17 00:00:58.070 --> 00:01:01.700 power to avoid that happening. Now, we know that the 18 00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:04.480 prosecution has already come out and said, look, this doesn't 19 00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:09.840 need to be filed under seal. This is not documentation 20 00:01:09.859 --> 00:01:14.230 that should be sealed. But the defense is very adamant 21 00:01:14.349 --> 00:01:17.349 that they want this stuff sealed up. Now, me personally, 22 00:01:17.849 --> 00:01:20.709 unless it has to do with national security issues or 23 00:01:20.750 --> 00:01:24.489 the privacy of a victim of a crime, then I'm 24 00:01:24.530 --> 00:01:28.870 all for transparency when it comes to court proceedings. I 25 00:01:28.909 --> 00:01:33.019 think that it's important. And especially when we're dealing with 26 00:01:33.099 --> 00:01:36.040 something like this that has been shrouded in secrecy for 27 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:40.480 so long. It's hard enough to get people to believe 28 00:01:40.890 --> 00:01:45.430 the institutions at this point. And when you continue to 29 00:01:45.890 --> 00:01:48.989 conduct yourself in a manner that looks like you're being shady, 30 00:01:49.750 --> 00:01:53.390 how are you ever going to convince anybody? So I 31 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:58.260 truly believe that in most cases, transparency is the proper 32 00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:03.560 course and the proper path. Now, obviously, there's always situations 33 00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:08.919 where you can't have full transparency. Ongoing investigations, a current investigation. 34 00:02:09.340 --> 00:02:11.960 I'm talking about once you get to the point where 35 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.530 you're in court. And if it doesn't affect the outcome 36 00:02:15.569 --> 00:02:17.810 of the case or national security or something like that, 37 00:02:18.270 --> 00:02:22.810 I don't see the purpose of it staying under seal. So, again, 38 00:02:22.889 --> 00:02:26.509 whenever there's a movement to unseal stuff in the Epstein case, 39 00:02:26.900 --> 00:02:30.340 as long as it's not outing anybody who was a victim... 40 00:02:30.469 --> 00:02:34.240 then I'm certainly all for it. And when you have 41 00:02:34.340 --> 00:02:37.979 lawyers like Maxwell's team asking to file things under seal, 42 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.360 it causes a firestorm, right? People who are following the case, 43 00:02:41.900 --> 00:02:44.969 you know, people's minds wander right away to some kind of, 44 00:02:44.990 --> 00:02:48.469 you know, conspiracy theory in some cases. But this is 45 00:02:48.509 --> 00:02:51.210 just procedure. This is how it works. It's going to 46 00:02:51.229 --> 00:02:54.009 be a back and forth battle royale. You folks know 47 00:02:54.050 --> 00:02:56.219 the deal by now, especially if you've been listening to 48 00:02:56.259 --> 00:03:00.680 this podcast. So it's more of the same, and you 49 00:03:00.699 --> 00:03:04.039 can expect Glenn Maxwell's team to continue to try and 50 00:03:04.139 --> 00:03:08.659 disrupt things however they can. So with that said, considering 51 00:03:08.699 --> 00:03:11.639 we have two articles to get to, let's jump into 52 00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:16.039 this article from Newsweek, and let's see what author Jack 53 00:03:16.099 --> 00:03:21.389 Royston has to say. Glenn Maxwell's lawyers say key juror 54 00:03:21.669 --> 00:03:25.250 may destroy critical evidence. Well, you know, I may hit megabucks. 55 00:03:25.770 --> 00:03:29.050 I may win all of my prop bets on Sunday 56 00:03:29.110 --> 00:03:31.849 for the Super Bowl. I might hit a bunch of 57 00:03:31.889 --> 00:03:35.469 bets on Saturday for UFC. It doesn't mean that it's 58 00:03:35.490 --> 00:03:38.409 going to happen. And it doesn't mean that the juror, 59 00:03:38.770 --> 00:03:41.780 juror number 50, is going to destroy any evidence or 60 00:03:41.810 --> 00:03:44.930 anything like that either. So that's a big assertion, right? 61 00:03:45.210 --> 00:03:49.289 They're really going out on a limb here, in my opinion. 62 00:03:49.330 --> 00:03:51.949 You can't just say this dude's going to destroy anything. 63 00:03:53.710 --> 00:03:57.340 Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney has suggested a juror could destroy evidence 64 00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:02.259 unless her motion for a retrial remains sealed. The British socialite, 65 00:04:02.539 --> 00:04:06.240 you mean convicted human trafficker, is attempting to overturn her 66 00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:09.840 conviction on five out of six sex trafficking charges in 67 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:13.870 December after Scotty David told journalists he discussed his past 68 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.930 history of abuse in the jury room. And again, the 69 00:04:17.990 --> 00:04:21.430 attempt doesn't mean that you're going to profit from it. 70 00:04:22.269 --> 00:04:24.329 I can't tell you how many times I play this 71 00:04:24.449 --> 00:04:28.329 stupid slot machine called Buffalo, me and my girlfriend, and 72 00:04:28.370 --> 00:04:30.350 we'll get bonus games and you'll get all pumped up 73 00:04:30.660 --> 00:04:33.430 thinking that during this bonus game that your ship has 74 00:04:33.620 --> 00:04:36.110 arrived right now this is the day i'm about to 75 00:04:36.189 --> 00:04:38.970 make this gigantic hit here and it's about to be 76 00:04:39.129 --> 00:04:42.870 on but nothing comes comes of it right and it's 77 00:04:42.910 --> 00:04:46.860 kind of the same deal jurors were asked whether they 78 00:04:46.899 --> 00:04:50.620 had experienced sexual assault but david told the daily mail 79 00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.519 i would have definitely marked yes but i don't remember 80 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:57.670 that question and again I wasn't there. I don't know. 81 00:04:57.970 --> 00:04:59.430 I'm not going to sit here and call anyone a 82 00:04:59.490 --> 00:05:02.170 liar one way or the other. But it doesn't look 83 00:05:02.209 --> 00:05:05.649 good for old Scotty David, folks. Certainly looks like he 84 00:05:05.689 --> 00:05:09.790 might have been fudging the truth a bit. And while 85 00:05:10.329 --> 00:05:14.589 I'm not ready to, you know, dogpile, we got to 86 00:05:14.750 --> 00:05:16.230 make sure we get all of the evidence and stuff. 87 00:05:16.930 --> 00:05:20.009 It really does make things more difficult for these survivors, right? 88 00:05:20.250 --> 00:05:22.279 Who wants to deal with this shit again? And I 89 00:05:22.300 --> 00:05:24.879 know you folks have better things to do than, you know, 90 00:05:25.220 --> 00:05:27.540 having to follow this case on a regular basis because 91 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.060 you're hooked and you want to see justice. So the 92 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.220 dude really threw a bit of a roadblock in the 93 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.689 middle of the procession here. But like I said earlier, 94 00:05:36.699 --> 00:05:40.050 I really, when it's all said and done and the 95 00:05:40.089 --> 00:05:43.790 dust all settles, I highly doubt she's going to get 96 00:05:43.829 --> 00:05:47.189 this mistrial, even though Scotty David looks like, again, looks 97 00:05:47.250 --> 00:05:52.399 like he really shit the bed here. Following his media interviews, 98 00:05:52.660 --> 00:05:55.860 Maxwell's team submitted a motion for a retrial and said 99 00:05:55.899 --> 00:05:59.850 his answers to the questionnaire corrupted the process, violating her 100 00:05:59.889 --> 00:06:02.949 right to a fair trial. And I could see that. 101 00:06:03.050 --> 00:06:04.709 I mean, look, if it was me who was convicted 102 00:06:05.149 --> 00:06:10.170 and this blubbering fool was untruthful during the time of 103 00:06:10.209 --> 00:06:13.579 jury selection, I'd be pissed off as well. But how 104 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:17.000 many people have had even worse done to them and 105 00:06:17.060 --> 00:06:21.500 had their convictions stand up? So... We'll have to see, right, 106 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:25.139 where it goes, but I really don't see how Maxwell 107 00:06:25.180 --> 00:06:27.560 is going to be able to leverage this into anything 108 00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:31.910 more than, at the most, a new trial. If it's 109 00:06:31.930 --> 00:06:34.629 a new trial that she does end up getting, then 110 00:06:34.810 --> 00:06:38.050 I feel like she'll find herself right back in the 111 00:06:38.069 --> 00:06:41.759 same place when all is said and done. However, they 112 00:06:41.779 --> 00:06:44.120 have asked for their motion and the government's reply to 113 00:06:44.459 --> 00:06:48.009 be kept secret. Bobby Sternum, Maxwell's attorney, wrote in a 114 00:06:48.050 --> 00:06:51.329 letter to the court seen by Newsweek, Given juror 50, 115 00:06:51.329 --> 00:06:54.329 Scotty David, a preview of information he does not have 116 00:06:54.689 --> 00:06:57.689 and should not have at this juncture would permit him 117 00:06:57.750 --> 00:07:01.699 to craft testimony, destroy critical evidence, and explain away facts 118 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:06.040 to protect himself while further jeopardizing the integrity of this case. 119 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:10.220 Sounds pretty damning, right? But consider the source, Bobby Sternum, 120 00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:14.689 you know, Maxwell's lawyer. Of course, she's going to make 121 00:07:14.709 --> 00:07:17.550 it a bit of a hit piece. The absence of 122 00:07:17.589 --> 00:07:21.009 this temporary safeguard will contribute to further obstruction of the 123 00:07:21.089 --> 00:07:26.529 truth-seeking process, compromising any factual inquiry ordered by the court 124 00:07:26.889 --> 00:07:31.310 and jeopardizing Ms. Maxwell's legitimate opportunity to establish why a 125 00:07:31.379 --> 00:07:35.180 mistrial should be granted to vindicate her constitutional right to 126 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:38.839 a fair trial. She should be heard. Look, this definitely 127 00:07:38.899 --> 00:07:42.459 warrants a discussion by the judge and everybody involved. I've 128 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.500 said that from the beginning. Bad news, a bad look. 129 00:07:45.779 --> 00:07:47.579 You don't want any kind of taint. You don't want 130 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:49.850 to give these people anything to sink their teeth into. 131 00:07:52.449 --> 00:07:55.430 The New York federal court heard Maxwell's victims describe how 132 00:07:55.470 --> 00:07:58.629 she groomed them to be abused by Epstein, normalizing his 133 00:07:58.709 --> 00:08:02.879 predatory behavior. Annie Farmer said she was 16 when Maxwell 134 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:08.040 massaged her breasts. Quoted by The Guardian, she told the court, she, Maxwell, 135 00:08:08.339 --> 00:08:11.120 said to get undressed and get under the sheet on 136 00:08:11.139 --> 00:08:13.899 the massage tables. She pulled the sheet down and exposed 137 00:08:13.939 --> 00:08:16.899 my breasts and started rubbing on my chest and on 138 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.620 my upper breast. So I highly doubt Scotty David's testimony 139 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.180 really was the kicker for the jury when we have 140 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:27.980 the testimony of Annie Farmer and the other survivors who 141 00:08:28.019 --> 00:08:31.750 got up there and told their stories. I don't need 142 00:08:31.790 --> 00:08:34.730 Scotty David to let me know when I'm hearing the 143 00:08:34.789 --> 00:08:39.389 story from these girls themselves. I'm saying if I'm a juror, right? Now, 144 00:08:39.450 --> 00:08:41.870 he might be able to help give some perspective, but 145 00:08:41.950 --> 00:08:46.179 I highly doubt that his description of what he went 146 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:49.320 through was what sealed the deal for those other jurors. 147 00:08:49.740 --> 00:08:53.820 And I think that plays a huge part. Farmer added 148 00:08:54.059 --> 00:08:56.379 when she pulled down the sheet, I felt frozen because 149 00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.139 it didn't make sense to me. I was surprised and 150 00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:01.740 I wanted so badly to get off the table and 151 00:09:01.779 --> 00:09:06.159 have that massage be done with. I mean. How many 152 00:09:06.179 --> 00:09:08.120 of you have wanted things to be over with that 153 00:09:08.139 --> 00:09:11.080 you were doing that were unpleasant, a test or whatever 154 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:14.759 it is? Now amplify that to the maximum. And that 155 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:17.620 must be what it's like to be abused by somebody 156 00:09:17.659 --> 00:09:19.669 like this and have nowhere to go and think that 157 00:09:20.070 --> 00:09:24.309 your all hope is lost. And again, I have never 158 00:09:24.389 --> 00:09:27.049 suffered anything like that. So I can't even begin to 159 00:09:27.110 --> 00:09:33.039 attempt to walk in anyone's shoes who has. If Maxwell's 160 00:09:33.100 --> 00:09:36.259 motion is successful, the December conviction will be quashed and 161 00:09:36.299 --> 00:09:39.500 a new trial ordered. A previous letter from Sternum seen 162 00:09:39.539 --> 00:09:43.049 by Newsweek read, the motion urges the court to write 163 00:09:43.169 --> 00:09:47.110 a grievous wrong that deprived Ms. Maxwell of a fundamental 164 00:09:47.169 --> 00:09:50.509 constitutional right, her right to be tried by a fair 165 00:09:50.809 --> 00:09:55.070 and impartial jury. Jurors' 50s responses to the questionnaire and 166 00:09:55.110 --> 00:09:59.970 questions posed to him during in-person questioning corrupted the process 167 00:10:00.419 --> 00:10:03.679 and violated miss maxwell's right to a fair trial it 168 00:10:03.820 --> 00:10:06.950 is a compelling argument there is no doubt but i 169 00:10:06.970 --> 00:10:10.769 don't think it's an argument that's going to work As 170 00:10:10.850 --> 00:10:13.389 set forth in the motion, the defense believes that the 171 00:10:13.450 --> 00:10:16.370 existing record is clear and more than sufficient for the 172 00:10:16.450 --> 00:10:19.120 court to grant Ms. Maxwell a new trial without the 173 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:24.120 need for further factual development. So is Sternum saying here 174 00:10:24.179 --> 00:10:27.179 that she doesn't even want any kind of investigation? Let's 175 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.899 just grant the trial? Hey, you know what? Let's just 176 00:10:29.950 --> 00:10:32.830 forget about the investigation. We'll just go forward with a 177 00:10:32.850 --> 00:10:36.470 new trial. On the taxpayer's dime, by the way. Yeah, 178 00:10:36.509 --> 00:10:40.190 no thank you. Better think long and hard about this one, 179 00:10:40.210 --> 00:10:42.919 Judge Nathan. Nobody wants to go do a trial again. 180 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:44.940 And we all sat here and we all listened to 181 00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:50.159 the testimony and we all heard what was what. Furthermore, honestly, 182 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.049 even before that, as you can tell by the podcast 183 00:10:53.090 --> 00:10:56.370 and the content, I was convinced that Maxwell was guilty 184 00:10:56.929 --> 00:11:01.399 for years now. And that's because I've just followed the evidence. 185 00:11:01.820 --> 00:11:04.159 You know, again, I'm just some moron, right? I'm not 186 00:11:05.299 --> 00:11:09.470 any kind of investigator or internet researcher or anything like that. 187 00:11:09.629 --> 00:11:14.730 Just a regular guy like you who has been captured 188 00:11:14.830 --> 00:11:20.789 by how heinous this story is. And it's just amazing 189 00:11:20.850 --> 00:11:24.029 to me that Maxwell and her team would really would 190 00:11:24.090 --> 00:11:29.259 think that something like this is going to work. I mean, Again, 191 00:11:29.620 --> 00:11:36.169 it might, right? Look, I'm certainly not a future reader either, right? 192 00:11:36.210 --> 00:11:38.070 I can't see the future. I don't know what's going 193 00:11:38.110 --> 00:11:41.889 to happen. But my gut tells me that Ghislaine Maxwell 194 00:11:42.570 --> 00:11:45.649 and her bid here is going to fizzle out and fail. 195 00:11:46.070 --> 00:11:48.080 And she's going to have to do the time that 196 00:11:48.169 --> 00:11:53.240 she gets smacked with. And we'll see that at the sentencing, 197 00:11:53.299 --> 00:11:57.139 but it's going to be significant. All right, so on 198 00:11:57.179 --> 00:12:00.580 to our second article. And this one's a bit more goofy, folks. 199 00:12:00.620 --> 00:12:07.299 There's a new Unearthed TV interview. And it's Andrew explaining 200 00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:11.590 how he got the nickname Randy Andy. So we're going 201 00:12:11.610 --> 00:12:15.009 to dive into this article from The Sun. And the 202 00:12:15.210 --> 00:12:20.259 author is Tariq Tahir. And the headline Prince Andrew admits 203 00:12:20.299 --> 00:12:24.190 he was nicknamed Randy Andy after getting caught in girls 204 00:12:24.269 --> 00:12:28.370 dorm at school in unearthed TV interview. For those of 205 00:12:28.409 --> 00:12:31.110 you old enough out there to have seen the movie 206 00:12:31.610 --> 00:12:35.049 Police Academy, it reminds me of the scene where the 207 00:12:35.110 --> 00:12:40.730 dude's sneaking into the real tough policewoman's room. And then 208 00:12:40.769 --> 00:12:43.169 he's wearing the top hat, the shower hat, dressed like 209 00:12:43.220 --> 00:12:45.100 a woman and stuff to try and sneak in over there. 210 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:47.759 That's the vision I get here when I hear about 211 00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:52.399 old Randy Andy skulking around and trying to sneak into 212 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.870 the girl's dorm. Prince Andrew once claimed he was given 213 00:12:56.929 --> 00:13:00.629 his infamous nickname, Randy Andy, after he was caught going 214 00:13:00.690 --> 00:13:06.220 into the girls' dormitory at his posh school. The Duke 215 00:13:06.259 --> 00:13:09.299 of York claimed that the nickname stuck after the seemingly 216 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.919 innocent incident on his second day at the posh Gordonston 217 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:18.450 School in Scotland. So, this guy is saying that he 218 00:13:18.490 --> 00:13:21.450 got the nickname because he was, you know, sneaking around 219 00:13:21.549 --> 00:13:24.870 on campus when the lights went out. Mr. Creeper himself, 220 00:13:25.730 --> 00:13:28.840 getting busy when he was young, huh? Practicing? Now look, 221 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.659 I'm just kidding, obviously. You know, dudes in high school, 222 00:13:31.700 --> 00:13:33.659 I get it. But it goes to show you, this 223 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:35.879 guy has had this kind of nickname and this sort 224 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:40.070 of reputation since he's been in these schools, these private, 225 00:13:40.129 --> 00:13:43.110 posh schools. He didn't wake up one morning and say 226 00:13:43.149 --> 00:13:46.289 to himself, ah, well, you know what? I have some proclivities. 227 00:13:46.649 --> 00:13:51.220 He's had them forever. He claimed boys were not allowed 228 00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:54.179 to go into the girls' dorm at the £ 30, 000 per 229 00:13:54.220 --> 00:13:57.590 year school, which was also attended by his dad, Prince Philip, 230 00:13:57.990 --> 00:14:02.190 and brother, Prince Charles. But the young Duke claimed he 231 00:14:02.230 --> 00:14:05.929 was caught outgoing to say hello to someone and he 232 00:14:05.970 --> 00:14:09.210 was subsequently dubbed Randy Andy. Oh, I'm sure that was 233 00:14:09.250 --> 00:14:11.909 all of it. So if that's the story he's telling us, 234 00:14:12.230 --> 00:14:15.230 you can guarantee it was something way worse or something 235 00:14:15.789 --> 00:14:19.070 a lot less innocent. probably got caught in bed with 236 00:14:19.110 --> 00:14:21.750 somebody or something like that, and that's why he got 237 00:14:21.769 --> 00:14:24.669 the name Randy Andy. Whatever it might be, but you 238 00:14:24.690 --> 00:14:27.769 can guarantee that he's giving you the watered-down version when 239 00:14:27.830 --> 00:14:34.470 he's giving you his version. Andrew revealed the origins of 240 00:14:34.529 --> 00:14:38.299 his nickname during an Unearthed TV interview with Selena Scott 241 00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:42.320 in the 1980s. Scott asked him about the origins of 242 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:47.230 his nickname, to which he sheepishly replies, which nickname? After 243 00:14:47.289 --> 00:14:52.250 much laughter, she replies, Randy Andy. Can you imagine? This 244 00:14:52.269 --> 00:14:55.129 guy's sitting around having this interview, and this is the 245 00:14:55.210 --> 00:14:57.110 excuse he comes up with? Oh, because, you know, I 246 00:14:57.149 --> 00:14:59.490 got caught sneaking around that night, so they called me 247 00:14:59.570 --> 00:15:01.750 Randy Andy. Nah, I think you were doing a little 248 00:15:01.789 --> 00:15:05.600 bit more, buddy. Okay? They'd be calling you Wandering Andy, 249 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:10.200 if that was the case. Or Strolling Andy. Or... Andy 250 00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:12.960 on the road. Whatever it is, but I highly doubt 251 00:15:13.019 --> 00:15:15.059 it's Randy Andy. What does that have to do with 252 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.529 you sneaking around and skulking about like you're Richard Ramirez? 253 00:15:21.730 --> 00:15:24.529 I'll tell you exactly where it originated from. It was 254 00:15:24.570 --> 00:15:27.279 my second day at public school, he said. It was 255 00:15:27.330 --> 00:15:30.549 unfortunate enough during my early years at Gordonston not to 256 00:15:30.590 --> 00:15:33.730 realize the rules of the house, which is you weren't 257 00:15:33.769 --> 00:15:36.509 allowed in the girl's house. Oh, he didn't realize those 258 00:15:36.549 --> 00:15:39.789 rules either. He had no idea. A long history of 259 00:15:39.870 --> 00:15:43.570 not knowing the rules, right? Or, more likely, knowing the rules, 260 00:15:43.850 --> 00:15:46.909 and then when getting caught, pleading ignorance. Oh, well, how 261 00:15:46.929 --> 00:15:49.889 am I supposed to know? Nobody told me that. Oh, 262 00:15:49.990 --> 00:15:51.570 I don't know. I'm not supposed to go in the 263 00:15:51.590 --> 00:15:54.789 girl's dorm? What, are you crazy? When did that rule 264 00:15:54.830 --> 00:16:00.710 pop up? And I was unfortunately caught going through the 265 00:16:00.769 --> 00:16:03.309 door to the girl's house saying hello to somebody. And 266 00:16:03.350 --> 00:16:07.590 it stuck. Not many people use it nowadays. And I 267 00:16:07.750 --> 00:16:10.649 don't think that it actually fits today anyway. Oh yeah, 268 00:16:10.850 --> 00:16:14.860 fits today better than ever. I mean, talk about hindsight, huh? 269 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:21.559 Because you were sneaking into the girl's dorm? Okay, sure. Right. 270 00:16:24.950 --> 00:16:27.169 As a young man, the Duke of York was considered 271 00:16:27.269 --> 00:16:30.480 one of the world's most eligible bachelors and was linked 272 00:16:30.500 --> 00:16:32.779 to a string of women. But he was just sneaking 273 00:16:32.899 --> 00:16:34.940 in through the door to go say hello to somebody. 274 00:16:35.179 --> 00:16:37.080 He was going to help her with her homework. Maybe 275 00:16:37.100 --> 00:16:39.539 they were going to watch, uh, you know, the King's 276 00:16:39.580 --> 00:16:46.149 Speech together. He became known as the Playboy Prince and, 277 00:16:46.169 --> 00:16:49.110 of course, Randy Andy as the papers feasted on the 278 00:16:49.149 --> 00:16:54.509 Royal Navy helicopter pilot's relationships. Those included actress Ku Stark, 279 00:16:54.850 --> 00:16:57.690 who it was revealed had appeared topless in an arthouse 280 00:16:57.769 --> 00:17:04.150 film in the late 1970s. Oh, the scandal. She appeared topless, folks. 281 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:07.339 That's it. Call in all of the guards. She can 282 00:17:07.420 --> 00:17:11.980 never come to the palace again. She was topless. And 283 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:15.460 again in later years, after his divorce from Sarah Ferguson, 284 00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:19.650 the prince was regularly pictured at parties, clearly enjoying the 285 00:17:19.690 --> 00:17:23.140 company of young women. No doubt about that. Topless girls 286 00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:28.259 in Thailand, the whole thing. And if this guy didn't 287 00:17:28.299 --> 00:17:31.240 try and put out this wholesome image of himself and 288 00:17:31.259 --> 00:17:33.599 would just own up to who he is, then it 289 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:36.259 would take away a lot of the ammunition people use 290 00:17:36.299 --> 00:17:38.980 against them. But he's one of these dudes that just 291 00:17:39.029 --> 00:17:40.990 won't admit what he is, even though we all see it. 292 00:17:41.450 --> 00:17:44.309 It's like having that drunken fool of a relative who 293 00:17:44.329 --> 00:17:49.269 just won't see that they're a drunken fool. He was 294 00:17:49.309 --> 00:17:53.039 a regular at nightclubs, including Tramp, where rape accuser Virginia 295 00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:56.640 Roberts says she danced with him. But despite that, in 296 00:17:56.660 --> 00:18:02.619 his infamous 2019 interview on BBC's Newsnight, Andrew claimed he 297 00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:06.559 rarely partied and wasn't a fan of public displays of affection. 298 00:18:06.940 --> 00:18:09.950 Yet we've seen him all over girls, all over the place. 299 00:18:10.250 --> 00:18:12.390 Every time pictures are released of him and some females, 300 00:18:12.730 --> 00:18:15.190 there's public displays of affection. So I don't even know 301 00:18:15.210 --> 00:18:19.259 what he's talking about. Again, just like with Maxwell... And 302 00:18:19.299 --> 00:18:22.980 in fact, there's more of a history of lying here 303 00:18:23.220 --> 00:18:30.049 because Andrew's been on the record more than Maxwell. He 304 00:18:30.109 --> 00:18:33.150 also denied ever meeting Miss Roberts, despite there being a 305 00:18:33.190 --> 00:18:36.869 picture of his arm around her. Andrew has issued a 306 00:18:36.890 --> 00:18:40.750 defiant response to his sex abuse claims, including denying that 307 00:18:40.789 --> 00:18:43.430 he was a close friend with Ghislaine Maxwell and claiming 308 00:18:43.490 --> 00:18:46.890 he wasn't a frequent visitor of Jeffrey Epstein. And I 309 00:18:46.930 --> 00:18:49.849 don't frequently update the podcast. You know, we don't frequently 310 00:18:49.890 --> 00:18:56.869 have context episodes. We don't frequently have morning updates. Absolutely absurd. 311 00:18:59.349 --> 00:19:04.029 Pictures of the famously teetotal prince out partying with women have, however, 312 00:19:04.309 --> 00:19:07.230 resurfaced as he faces a jury trial and a bid 313 00:19:07.250 --> 00:19:09.809 to clear his name. The Duke of York was snapped 314 00:19:09.869 --> 00:19:13.279 dancing with glamorous blonde Chris Von Aspen while at a 315 00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:17.480 poolside party thrown by a Libyan businessman in San Tropez. 316 00:19:17.900 --> 00:19:21.359 Oh yeah, perfect. On a wild night in the Millionaire's 317 00:19:21.420 --> 00:19:26.349 Playground of Southern France in July 2007, the 47-year-old prince 318 00:19:26.490 --> 00:19:31.609 cavorted with 27-year-old Chris after the U.S. socialite reportedly caught 319 00:19:31.650 --> 00:19:34.480 his eye. So look, again, what it's doing is establishing 320 00:19:34.500 --> 00:19:38.740 who this man is. And under normal circumstances, I wouldn't 321 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:40.960 care if dude was hanging out with girls by the 322 00:19:41.099 --> 00:19:43.950 dozen times. If they're all consenting women and they want 323 00:19:43.970 --> 00:19:45.740 to hang out with them, hey, I don't care what 324 00:19:45.819 --> 00:19:49.369 anybody does. Not my business. I have my own problems, 325 00:19:49.430 --> 00:19:52.000 my own life to live. live but when you start 326 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.180 dealing with it not being consensual and a 17 year 327 00:19:56.220 --> 00:19:59.160 old girl being trafficked to the prince of england it's 328 00:19:59.180 --> 00:20:07.569 a bit more serious no Photographs from the night show 329 00:20:07.609 --> 00:20:10.150 a teetotal Andrew with his hands around Chris at the 330 00:20:10.190 --> 00:20:13.990 villa party. Jeffrey said at the time, Andrew came over 331 00:20:14.009 --> 00:20:16.559 to me and asked, what's her name? She is beautiful. 332 00:20:16.900 --> 00:20:19.680 I love the way she carries herself. She is very classy. 333 00:20:20.369 --> 00:20:23.609 And meanwhile, other snaps show the prince enjoying a wild 334 00:20:23.670 --> 00:20:27.910 night out with Canadian model and singer Pascal Bourbeau, while 335 00:20:27.970 --> 00:20:31.460 teenage daughter Beatrice was just meters away at the same 336 00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:35.140 party in Saint-Tropez. Well, that's a bit dishonest. Beatrice was 337 00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:37.279 of age, and I get it, right? You don't want 338 00:20:37.299 --> 00:20:40.259 to be doing that around your daughter, ever. I mean, 339 00:20:40.299 --> 00:20:42.039 I'm not a parent, but I would think that you 340 00:20:42.059 --> 00:20:43.940 wouldn't want to do that around your daughter, you know, uh... 341 00:20:45.150 --> 00:20:47.890 Shacking up with some lady, kissing on her, being all romantic, 342 00:20:47.930 --> 00:20:50.509 stuff like that. Probably not the right place or time. 343 00:20:51.069 --> 00:20:53.450 But again, it's not like she was, they say teen 344 00:20:53.470 --> 00:20:55.849 like she was 14. She was an adult here, so. 345 00:20:57.710 --> 00:21:00.130 One picture from the night shows Pascal with her arms 346 00:21:00.190 --> 00:21:03.619 around Andrew's neck while he appeared to place a hand 347 00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:06.980 on her rear. Another image shows a slightly sweaty looking 348 00:21:07.099 --> 00:21:10.539 Andrew standing awkwardly next to the model with his hand 349 00:21:10.779 --> 00:21:14.079 side by side. And again, the sweating, right? Very important. 350 00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:17.240 There's always little gold nuggets here, and inside of these articles, 351 00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:22.710 you'll always find them. A third image shows the two 352 00:21:22.730 --> 00:21:25.930 almost nose-to-nose as they get close at a swanky gathering. 353 00:21:26.849 --> 00:21:29.730 Andrew faces a two-day grilling starting on March 10th at 354 00:21:29.750 --> 00:21:33.450 a neutral location where Virginia Roberts' lawyers fly in from 355 00:21:33.490 --> 00:21:36.890 the U.S. He will be questioned by ace lawyers David 356 00:21:36.930 --> 00:21:40.779 Boies and Sigrid McCauley. And we all know that. We've 357 00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:45.329 discussed it. David Boies is... very well equipped to wring 358 00:21:45.369 --> 00:21:48.049 some answers out of Andrew here. And I would expect 359 00:21:48.089 --> 00:21:50.769 that this is going to be a very uncomfortable deposition 360 00:21:50.809 --> 00:21:54.309 for Andrew, and I would guess that he might even 361 00:21:54.349 --> 00:21:58.670 start to sweat during it. And after that, they interview 362 00:21:58.730 --> 00:22:01.009 a woman who alleges she saw the prince with Miss 363 00:22:01.049 --> 00:22:06.089 Roberts at London's Tramp Nightclub in 2001. Boyes, 80, has 364 00:22:06.150 --> 00:22:10.690 a fearsome reputation as the greatest deposition taker in modern U.S. justice. 365 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:14.660 Boyce has said he looks forward to looking the Duke 366 00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:18.289 in the eye and has previously been dubbed the Great Inquisitor. 367 00:22:19.210 --> 00:22:24.029 That's not very much reassuring for the prince, huh? For 368 00:22:24.069 --> 00:22:27.390 his part, Andrew is reportedly being carefully prepared by his 369 00:22:27.569 --> 00:22:30.170 UK-based legal team over fears of a repeat of his 370 00:22:30.230 --> 00:22:35.670 car crash 2019 interview with BBC Newsnight's Emily Maitlis. Yeah, 371 00:22:35.690 --> 00:22:38.119 he better practice with Brettler. I'm telling you right now, 372 00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:41.609 you better get your money's worth with Brettler. Because if 373 00:22:41.650 --> 00:22:43.490 you're going to use anyone to prep you, it should 374 00:22:43.509 --> 00:22:47.089 be that dude. All right. There we are, folks. That's 375 00:22:47.130 --> 00:22:50.160 the update for this evening. That's where we are. Completely 376 00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:53.619 caught up on the news of the day. Quick blurb 377 00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:56.680 on Ghislaine Maxwell. Closed it out there with Prince Andrew. 378 00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:02.200 And on we go to whatever tomorrow brings.

You know, folks, 383 00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:25.440 today we're going to do something we haven't done in 384 00:23:25.500 --> 00:23:28.960 quite some time. That's right. We're going to hop across 385 00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:32.900 the pond... and check in on the Joe Exotic of 386 00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:39.390 the Windsor family, a.k.a. Prince Andrew. Well, when we've been 387 00:23:39.430 --> 00:23:45.009 talking about this disgusting individual for the past couple of years, 388 00:23:45.890 --> 00:23:50.160 I've said from the beginning that I thought that eventually, 389 00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:55.160 when his brother ascends to the throne, that Andrew was 390 00:23:55.220 --> 00:23:59.529 going to be buried somewhere, right? And out of sight forever. 391 00:24:00.349 --> 00:24:02.390 Now if this was the old days... He would have 392 00:24:02.609 --> 00:24:06.450 been sent to whatever the most... Far flung province... In 393 00:24:06.490 --> 00:24:09.220 the empire was... And he'd be left to rot there... 394 00:24:09.539 --> 00:24:13.059 If he was lucky... Or... He would have been put 395 00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:21.140 into the Tower of London... Or... Insert... Some other sort of... Depraved... Fate... 396 00:24:22.329 --> 00:24:24.430 But that is what you had to look forward to... 397 00:24:24.490 --> 00:24:28.329 If you embarrassed the royal family... Especially if you were 398 00:24:28.390 --> 00:24:31.279 a claimant to the throne... and your brother ascends to 399 00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:34.799 the throne, and you're looked at as a liability? In 400 00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:39.700 the old days, you were done for, bro. There was no, alright, well, 401 00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:41.740
