00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:03.439
<v Speaker 1>What's up everyone, and welcome to another episode of the

2
00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Epstein Chronicles. You know, usually when I wake up in

3
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>the morning and head to the studio, there is a

4
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:14.320
<v Speaker 1>ton of bad news to talk about. Well, today we

5
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>have some good news to talk about. And that good

6
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:21.359
<v Speaker 1>news is the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family has

7
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:25.000
<v Speaker 1>been arrested by authorities in the UK and he was

8
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:32.079
<v Speaker 1>arrested for allegedly passing confidential information onto Jeffrey Epstein. Now,

9
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:35.479
<v Speaker 1>of course it's not the kind of charges that we want, right.

10
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Everybody wants him to be held accountable for what he

11
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>did to Virginia. But we have to live in the

12
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.759
<v Speaker 1>real world, and when we're talking about people like Prince

13
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Andrew and other powerful people like him, we have to

14
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.799
<v Speaker 1>start somewhere, right, every great journey starts with the first step,

15
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.439
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully this is the first step to real justice,

16
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:02.399
<v Speaker 1>because you know they're gonna have quick for him, and

17
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>now that he is in custody and under investigation, maybe

18
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:09.400
<v Speaker 1>there'll be a way to get him to speak with

19
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>authorities in the United States about what he knows or

20
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.480
<v Speaker 1>doesn't know. But one thing is for sure, this is

21
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.719
<v Speaker 1>the first step. Right when we're talking about people like

22
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.719
<v Speaker 1>Prince Andrew, powerful people, you have to get creative if

23
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 1>you want to hold them accountable. And this is why

24
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>I've talked about process, and this is why I've talked

25
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:32.799
<v Speaker 1>about going after people via the money trail, because that's

26
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:36.519
<v Speaker 1>the kind of shit that sticks. There's no arguing with

27
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:39.120
<v Speaker 1>what the money trail says. It is what it is.

28
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:43.159
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't lose its memory, it doesn't get destroyed on

29
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:47.799
<v Speaker 1>cross examination. It tells the story right, and that's the

30
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of story that leads to people like Prince Andrew

31
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>actually going to prison. And as I've said multiple times

32
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:58.799
<v Speaker 1>over the years, I'll take whatever we can get as

33
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>long as these people end up in prison and it

34
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>opens the investigation up further. I think that's a victory. Now.

35
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Is it an astonishing first round knockout victory. Of course not.

36
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>But folks, let's not act like this isn't a big deal.

37
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about a prince of the blood, one of

38
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the members of the royal family of England, being arrested

39
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>for passing confidential information to Jeffrey Epstein. And it's not

40
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.960
<v Speaker 1>just him, mandelssh allegedly did the same thing. So do

41
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.039
<v Speaker 1>you just think it's those two dudes over in the

42
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>UK or do you think there were other people doing

43
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>the same thing around the world. And it really goes

44
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:41.800
<v Speaker 1>to strengthen the argument that Jeffrey Epstein was collecting information

45
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>and then disseminating that information to whoever was the highest bidder,

46
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>or using it himself to enrich himself and his friends.

47
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>But nothing's free. When he would enrich his friends, he

48
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.960
<v Speaker 1>would also entangle them in his crimes, so that was

49
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.879
<v Speaker 1>all part of the hustle. And Prince Andrew passing on

50
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:04.800
<v Speaker 1>this confidential information is a big ass deal. I mean,

51
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about a serious, serious issue. Not only a prince,

52
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:13.719
<v Speaker 1>but a trade envoy who's there to represent the UK

53
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>is passing classified information onto their buddy Jeffrey Epstein, who's

54
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>working for god knows who. Not exactly what I would

55
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 1>call a good look. Today's article is from the AP

56
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:32.319
<v Speaker 1>and the headline Andrew mount Baton Windsor arrested on suspicion

57
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:37.879
<v Speaker 1>of misconduct in public office. This article was authored by

58
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:43.840
<v Speaker 1>AP staff Andrew mount Batton Windsor, the former British prince

59
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>who was stripped of his royal titles because of his

60
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was arrested Thursday

61
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 1>on suspicion of misconduct in public office. While Andrew has

62
00:03:56.240 --> 00:04:00.560
<v Speaker 1>consistently denied any wrongdoing in connection with his friendship with Epstein,

63
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>concerns about Mount Baton Windsor's links to the late financier

64
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>have dabbed the Royal family for more than a decade. Well, yeah,

65
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.560
<v Speaker 1>that's usually what happens when you're accused of sexually assaulting somebody,

66
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.719
<v Speaker 1>a trafficked underage girl, and then you get onto the

67
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>BBC Newsnight program and make a fool of yourself. Usually

68
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:22.759
<v Speaker 1>that ends up pretty bad for you. And my guess

69
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:25.439
<v Speaker 1>is if Prince Andrew could go back in time and

70
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.600
<v Speaker 1>do it all over again, he would have never given

71
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 1>that interview in the first place. I mean, talk about

72
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>one of the worst interviews in the history of worst interviews.

73
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.319
<v Speaker 1>I remember watching it as it happened, and I couldn't

74
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>believe that this dude was saying the things that he

75
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:42.720
<v Speaker 1>was saying, Like you could tell he was lying in

76
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>real time. Thames Valley Police said that a man in

77
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 1>his sixties from Norfolk in eastern England was arrested and

78
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 1>remained in custody. The force, which covers areas of London,

79
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.279
<v Speaker 1>including Mount Baton, Winsor's former home, did not IDENTI defy

80
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.720
<v Speaker 1>the suspect in line with standred procedure in Britain, but

81
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>pointed to this statement when asked to confirm if Andrew

82
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>was arrested. And it's a little different over in the UK, right,

83
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>it's not as much of a spectacle as it is

84
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.879
<v Speaker 1>here in America when somebody gets hemmed up. But it's

85
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.800
<v Speaker 1>obvious that it's Prince Andrew who was arrested. They're just

86
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:24.600
<v Speaker 1>not going to say anything about it, at least not yet.

87
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure they're going to make a statement at some point,

88
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>but this is right in line with typical procedure over

89
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>in the UK. Now, Bounton Windsor, who turned sixty six

90
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:39.319
<v Speaker 1>on Thursday, moved to his brother, King Charles the Third's

91
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:43.040
<v Speaker 1>estate in Norfolk after he was evicted from his longtime

92
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:47.519
<v Speaker 1>home near Windsor Castle earlier this month. YO talk about

93
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>a great birthday, President, huh. I guess hanging out with

94
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey Epstein and passing them confidential information wasn't a good

95
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:59.879
<v Speaker 1>idea after all, was it? Prince Andrew? After the ear

96
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Charles said that the law must take its course in

97
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>the investigation of his brother. Well, yeah, what else can

98
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.480
<v Speaker 1>he say? I mean, honestly, the king can't really say

99
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>much at this point. He's between the proverbial rock and

100
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:18.720
<v Speaker 1>a hard place. Imagine your brother was Prince Andrew, and

101
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:21.040
<v Speaker 1>imagine he was this big of a moron making your

102
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:26.360
<v Speaker 1>life this difficult. But him getting arrested obviously not a

103
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.920
<v Speaker 1>good look for the Royal family. I mean, you want

104
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.879
<v Speaker 1>to talk about optics, and not only optics but precedent.

105
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Now that Prince Andrew has been arrested, the floodgates could

106
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.519
<v Speaker 1>open for the Royal family. And I really think this

107
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 1>is a turning point in the history of the monarchy

108
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:47.040
<v Speaker 1>and the UK. I truly believe that. Now. Of course,

109
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm certainly no expert on the monarchy or on the UK,

110
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:54.639
<v Speaker 1>but I think there is a change in the wind,

111
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.879
<v Speaker 1>and I think people have had enough. And I think

112
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>that getting a look at those Epstein files, and I'm

113
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.480
<v Speaker 1>not talking about all this salacious stuff. I'm talking about

114
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:09.160
<v Speaker 1>the verifiable way these people talk about the rest of us,

115
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>about how they feel about the rest of us, and

116
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I think that really put things into perspective for a

117
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:19.720
<v Speaker 1>lot of people who might not have understood the sort

118
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:23.399
<v Speaker 1>of evil that we're dealing with. And when I say evil,

119
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:27.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking about, you know, some cartoon villain. I'm

120
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:30.720
<v Speaker 1>talking about the people that are in control of your life,

121
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.800
<v Speaker 1>people giving you loans, people that are in charge of

122
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>the economy, people that are in charge of the countries.

123
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:40.800
<v Speaker 1>These people, they have a lot of contempt for you.

124
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:43.879
<v Speaker 1>And the only time you're worst shit to them is

125
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:48.839
<v Speaker 1>when there's an election. That's it. Besides that, they're going

126
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.120
<v Speaker 1>to do whatever they want whenever they want to do it,

127
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.839
<v Speaker 1>and obviously they don't give a shit what the rest

128
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>of us think. And after people saw those emails, I

129
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.839
<v Speaker 1>don't think that was something that could be the anymore

130
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.360
<v Speaker 1>because all you have to do is spend a little

131
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.160
<v Speaker 1>bit of time reading through those emails and you understand

132
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>very quickly that you, in fact, are not part of

133
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:14.639
<v Speaker 1>the club. Thames Valley Police previously said it was assessing

134
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:18.639
<v Speaker 1>reports that amount Batton Winsor sent confidential trade reports to

135
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Epstein in twenty ten, when the former Prince was Britain

136
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Special Envoy for International Trade. Those reports them from correspondence

137
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:30.639
<v Speaker 1>between the two men that was among the millions of

138
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:35.360
<v Speaker 1>pages of documents from the US Justice Department's investigation into

139
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Epstein that were released last month. So the FBI had

140
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.919
<v Speaker 1>this information, the DOJ had this information. Why didn't they

141
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.440
<v Speaker 1>give it to the English government? Why did they sit

142
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:49.559
<v Speaker 1>on it? Why did they let Prince Andrew just skate?

143
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:55.279
<v Speaker 1>Unless Prince Andrew was given that information to an American asset,

144
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.519
<v Speaker 1>I'll let you chew on that for a minute. Following

145
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.960
<v Speaker 1>a thorough assessment, we have now opened an investigation into

146
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>this allegation of misconduct, and Public Office Assistant Chief Constable

147
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:10.159
<v Speaker 1>Oliver Wright said in a statement. We understand the significant

148
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:13.240
<v Speaker 1>public interest in the case and we will provide updates

149
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:17.879
<v Speaker 1>at the appropriate time. The arrest came his pictures circulated

150
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:21.960
<v Speaker 1>online that appeared to show unmarked police cars at wood Farm,

151
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Mount Batten's Windsor home on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk,

152
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.840
<v Speaker 1>with plain clothes officers gathering outside. YO. This is a

153
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:35.840
<v Speaker 1>stunning fall from grace and one well deserved. And it's

154
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.399
<v Speaker 1>a damn shame that Virginia isn't with us to see

155
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:42.759
<v Speaker 1>it happen, because this is what she pushed for for

156
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:45.919
<v Speaker 1>a very long time. And I can guarantee you if

157
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.480
<v Speaker 1>she was still with us, she would be taken a

158
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:54.159
<v Speaker 1>victory lab In his statement, Charles reiterated that he would

159
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.799
<v Speaker 1>cooperate with the investigation of the former prince. Let me

160
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:01.440
<v Speaker 1>stay clearly, the law must take its the King said,

161
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:05.000
<v Speaker 1>as this process continues, it would not be right for

162
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:08.519
<v Speaker 1>me to comment further on this matter. The statement signed

163
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:12.159
<v Speaker 1>Charles R. Also sought to distance the royal family from

164
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Mount bat and Winsor. My family and I will continue

165
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:19.559
<v Speaker 1>in our duty and service to you all he said,

166
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:22.879
<v Speaker 1>And look real talk. If the Queen was still alive,

167
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Prince Andrew would have been arrested. She

168
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:32.519
<v Speaker 1>protected him like it was nobody's business, protected him like smog,

169
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:37.679
<v Speaker 1>protected his gold, and she did everything in her power

170
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:42.000
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that Andrew never dealt with consequence. Well,

171
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:45.720
<v Speaker 1>guess what, Mummy is no longer here to protect you,

172
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:50.200
<v Speaker 1>you sweaty ass nons. And speaking of sweat, my guess

173
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:56.639
<v Speaker 1>is he's probably sweating as we speak. The late Queen

174
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.559
<v Speaker 1>Elizabeth the Second, forced her second son to give up

175
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:03.080
<v Speaker 1>royal dy duties and then his charitable work in twenty nineteen,

176
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.840
<v Speaker 1>after he tried to explain away his ties to Epstein

177
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.279
<v Speaker 1>during a catastrophic interview with the BBC. Well, she was

178
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:15.679
<v Speaker 1>forced to do that, but he wasn't exiled, he wasn't

179
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:20.200
<v Speaker 1>banned from royal functions. She just had to make a

180
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:26.840
<v Speaker 1>show that she was doing something. But more details about

181
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>the relationship emerged in a book published last year, and

182
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:32.799
<v Speaker 1>Charles stripdam of the right to be called a prince

183
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:37.480
<v Speaker 1>and ordered him to move. Then came the unprecedented announcement

184
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:41.159
<v Speaker 1>last week that Buckingham Palace was ready to cooperate in

185
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:44.600
<v Speaker 1>the event of a police inquiry into Mount Baton Winsor's

186
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:49.559
<v Speaker 1>links to Ebstein talk about getting voted off the island.

187
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Charles was forced to act after the US Justice Department

188
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:57.000
<v Speaker 1>released millions of pages of Epstein documents that revealed the

189
00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:00.720
<v Speaker 1>extent of his relationship with Mount Baton Windsor and showed

190
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:04.919
<v Speaker 1>that their correspondence continued long after Epstein pleaded guilty in

191
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:08.159
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and eight to soliciting a minor for prostitution.

192
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:12.639
<v Speaker 1>Epstein was arrested on sex trafficking charges brought by federal

193
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:16.240
<v Speaker 1>prosecutors in New York in twenty nineteen. He took his

194
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:19.600
<v Speaker 1>own life in jail while awaiting trial or did he

195
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.840
<v Speaker 1>I love how confident they say that, Oh yeah, he

196
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:25.320
<v Speaker 1>took his own life while in jail. Oh okay, cool,

197
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:29.519
<v Speaker 1>let's see the evidence. As far as Prince Andrew's bitch

198
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:34.919
<v Speaker 1>ass goes, couldn't happen to a better person, and he

199
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:38.279
<v Speaker 1>deserves everything that's coming his way. And make no mistake,

200
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Andrew's in serious jeopardy here, serious jeopardy, and he very

201
00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:47.039
<v Speaker 1>well could find himself in prison. Now, obviously we're a

202
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:49.720
<v Speaker 1>long way away from that happening, but it's certainly something

203
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:52.399
<v Speaker 1>that's on the table. And if you would have asked

204
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.919
<v Speaker 1>me just a year ago if Prince Andrew was in

205
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:59.039
<v Speaker 1>any jeopardy of ever going to jail or prison, the

206
00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:02.759
<v Speaker 1>answer would have been no. But you can't argue with

207
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:06.879
<v Speaker 1>the documentation, you cannot argue with the money trail, and

208
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:09.639
<v Speaker 1>you can't argue with the fact that Prince Andrew has

209
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:14.279
<v Speaker 1>been caught red handed here handing off confidential information to

210
00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:17.919
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey Epstein. So for the first time in his life,

211
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.279
<v Speaker 1>Prince Andrew mount Batten Windsor is gonna have to face

212
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:27.080
<v Speaker 1>the consequences of his actions. And you know what I'm

213
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:30.720
<v Speaker 1>here for it all of the information that goes with.

214
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:35.360
<v Speaker 1>This episode can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone,

215
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In

216
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:42.879
<v Speaker 1>this episode, we're gonna hop across the pond and we're

217
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:46.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna check in on the Joe exotic of the Windsor family.

218
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.279
<v Speaker 1>In the aftermath of his arrest, and if the picture

219
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.639
<v Speaker 1>that is circulating tells the story, he didn't have a

220
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:57.559
<v Speaker 1>very good time. And I think that things are just

221
00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:02.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna get worse for Prince Andrew as we move forward. Now, look,

222
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:03.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that he's

223
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:06.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna end up in prison. I don't know, but I

224
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:09.559
<v Speaker 1>think that he's in serious jeopardy. And I think that

225
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.080
<v Speaker 1>the further they dig, the more they're gonna find. Because

226
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.879
<v Speaker 1>I've said it from the beginning, Prince Andrew's dirty as hell.

227
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:20.120
<v Speaker 1>And I don't just mean with Jeffrey Epstein. I'm talking

228
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.919
<v Speaker 1>about all the stuff he was up to. When you're

229
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.720
<v Speaker 1>as greedy as Prince Andrew, there is not a scumbag

230
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>on earth you're not willing to get into bed with

231
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:34.559
<v Speaker 1>no pun intended. And we've seen it with Libyans, we've

232
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>seen it with Chinese Communist Party, officials. We've seen it

233
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:40.919
<v Speaker 1>with people in the Middle East, with Jeffrey Epstein, you

234
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:45.879
<v Speaker 1>name it. If Prince Andrew thought he could get something

235
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:48.759
<v Speaker 1>out of the deal, there's nobody on this planet he

236
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:51.519
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't spend time with. I mean, it's not bad enough

237
00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:54.519
<v Speaker 1>you are a palain around with Jeffrey Epstein, but you

238
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.919
<v Speaker 1>were also friends with mister Nigard as well. I'm sure

239
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:03.320
<v Speaker 1>it was just all a coincidence there too, right. Today's

240
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.799
<v Speaker 1>article is from NBC News and the headline possible next

241
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:11.799
<v Speaker 1>steps after the arrest of former Prince Andrew. This article

242
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:17.519
<v Speaker 1>was authored by Alexander Smith and Henry Austen. Andrew mount

243
00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Batten Windsor may have been released from custody, but his

244
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.080
<v Speaker 1>legal saga is not over. Well. Yeah, they arranged him right,

245
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.639
<v Speaker 1>They brought him in, they booked him, and he made

246
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:28.759
<v Speaker 1>bell and I didn't think they were going to hold him.

247
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:32.440
<v Speaker 1>This is all just part of the process now to

248
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:36.840
<v Speaker 1>get things moving, and Prince Andrew is not somebody that

249
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:40.159
<v Speaker 1>they're going to hold in jail as they investigate him now.

250
00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:43.279
<v Speaker 1>They probably took his passport though, that would be my guess,

251
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.720
<v Speaker 1>because you know that Prince Andrew or the former Prince

252
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Andrew is probably thinking about an escape at this point.

253
00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:54.519
<v Speaker 1>That pad in the Arabian desert must be real appealing.

254
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Right now, Prince Andrew of Arabia has a ring to it.

255
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.200
<v Speaker 1>On Friday, please continue to search his former residence of

256
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Royal Lodge in Windsor. This is where he used to

257
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:10.120
<v Speaker 1>live before his brother, King Charles the Third asked him

258
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:13.639
<v Speaker 1>to leave last year amid mounting pressure over his relationship

259
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:18.000
<v Speaker 1>with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

260
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.360
<v Speaker 1>And even that had to be tooth and nail. Andrew

261
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:23.879
<v Speaker 1>couldn't even do the simple thing of just saying, you

262
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:26.519
<v Speaker 1>know what, you're right, I'll move out, I'll move into

263
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:29.240
<v Speaker 1>whatever property you're providing for me, and I'll take care

264
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:32.240
<v Speaker 1>of the corgi's there. But no, it has to be

265
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.320
<v Speaker 1>a whole thing. He has to act entitled and like

266
00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:37.440
<v Speaker 1>he has something coming to him, when all he really

267
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:40.120
<v Speaker 1>has coming to him, or should have come in to him,

268
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:44.200
<v Speaker 1>is a gigantic legal case that brings jail time. That's

269
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:46.600
<v Speaker 1>what he should be worried about. But instead he's out

270
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:51.000
<v Speaker 1>here manipulating everybody and making the King jump through hoops

271
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:54.279
<v Speaker 1>to remove him from this property, as if you haven't

272
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:58.000
<v Speaker 1>caused your family enough pain already. Imagine being such a

273
00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:02.000
<v Speaker 1>detestable human being that your mother's dying of bone cancer

274
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:05.279
<v Speaker 1>and you just keep all of this on top of

275
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:08.240
<v Speaker 1>her instead of just owning up to it and facing

276
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:10.559
<v Speaker 1>the music. I mean, has there ever been a bigger

277
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:16.160
<v Speaker 1>coward than the Diddler formerly known as Prince Andrew. Officers

278
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:18.960
<v Speaker 1>have now finished searches of wood Farm on the Royal

279
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:22.519
<v Speaker 1>Sandringham estate where Mount Baton Winsor moved earlier this month.

280
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.880
<v Speaker 1>According to Thames Valley Police, his release is not uncommon

281
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:30.559
<v Speaker 1>in cases of alleged white collar crime. It doesn't mean

282
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.200
<v Speaker 1>he's been cleared, nor does it mean he has been

283
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:36.279
<v Speaker 1>released on bell, so there are no conditions for his release.

284
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:40.319
<v Speaker 1>It merely indicates that police have finished with this round

285
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:44.240
<v Speaker 1>of questioning and are continuing the investigation and it's going

286
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:46.960
<v Speaker 1>to continue to build. I think they're going to take

287
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:48.799
<v Speaker 1>their time here, and I think they're going to make

288
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.400
<v Speaker 1>sure that everything down to the most minute detail is

289
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:54.839
<v Speaker 1>locked in, because when you're dealing with something as high

290
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:57.279
<v Speaker 1>profile as this, you have to be on your game.

291
00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:02.119
<v Speaker 1>So let's see what James Valley Police has in store.

292
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:06.440
<v Speaker 1>The former prince being released under investigation would indicate that

293
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:09.599
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be a long term process, said

294
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:14.519
<v Speaker 1>Dal Baboo, a former Chief superintendent with London's Metropolitan Police.

295
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.240
<v Speaker 1>It means he's suspected of a crime. He hasn't been

296
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.079
<v Speaker 1>formally charged and there's no conditions. There's no timeline as

297
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:25.640
<v Speaker 1>to how long the investigation will take. He's going to

298
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:28.799
<v Speaker 1>be charged. We have the evidence, right, we have the

299
00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:32.160
<v Speaker 1>evidence of him in the email passing that information on

300
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and if that exists, who knows what else they have

301
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.400
<v Speaker 1>or will they'll have access to. Remember, they're going to

302
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.759
<v Speaker 1>get into those royal servers. It looks like, so who

303
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:45.039
<v Speaker 1>the hell knows what Prince Andrew was really up to?

304
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:49.559
<v Speaker 1>British authorities moved after the US Justice Department released another

305
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:53.279
<v Speaker 1>three and a half million files related to Epstein. Some

306
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:57.119
<v Speaker 1>of the documents detailed communication between Epstein and the former

307
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Prince while he was serving as British trade end and

308
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:04.640
<v Speaker 1>that right there is what sings them. If he was

309
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.720
<v Speaker 1>passing on information in his role as a private citizen,

310
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:12.319
<v Speaker 1>it would be different. Right, you're a representative of the state,

311
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:15.119
<v Speaker 1>You're a trade endvoy, for God's sakes, and you're passing

312
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:17.519
<v Speaker 1>the information on to somebody that's not part of the

313
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:23.599
<v Speaker 1>government of the UK, somebody who's a sex offender. Jesus Christ.

314
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:28.079
<v Speaker 1>After his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office,

315
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Mount Bountain Windsor was taken to Elsham Police station in

316
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:37.359
<v Speaker 1>eastern England. He was released under investigation hours later. Photographs

317
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:40.200
<v Speaker 1>slouched in the back of a car, staring into space

318
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:43.400
<v Speaker 1>with his hands clasped. Well, yeah, dude's never had any

319
00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:46.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of repercussions for his bullshit. This is the first

320
00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:49.880
<v Speaker 1>time I doubt he was ever even punished growing up.

321
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:55.400
<v Speaker 1>What you think mommy's little boy ever tasted the belt,

322
00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:00.400
<v Speaker 1>ever had a good reaming by mummy. This dude was

323
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.559
<v Speaker 1>raised by the help, and he looks at everybody else

324
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.880
<v Speaker 1>around him as that the help. He's the prince and

325
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.359
<v Speaker 1>you're not. Pretty much his whole entire life view. So

326
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.000
<v Speaker 1>now that that's all shattered and he got arrested and

327
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.200
<v Speaker 1>he is being driven away from the police station, looks

328
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.519
<v Speaker 1>like that realization is starting to settle in that you,

329
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:23.839
<v Speaker 1>my friend, are no different than the rest of us

330
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:27.480
<v Speaker 1>just because you were born into the royal family. And now,

331
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:30.200
<v Speaker 1>after much too long it looks like you're going to

332
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.000
<v Speaker 1>be held accountable at least for some of your bullshit.

333
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:36.400
<v Speaker 1>The former Prince Andrew could be brought back in for

334
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:40.079
<v Speaker 1>further questioning or re arrested if the police deemed that necessary.

335
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.599
<v Speaker 1>He could also be asked about other lines of inquiry.

336
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:46.480
<v Speaker 1>And this is what I was talking about yesterday. People

337
00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:49.720
<v Speaker 1>need to understand how these investigations work. You get hemmed

338
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:52.440
<v Speaker 1>up on one thing, and before you know it, you're

339
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:56.000
<v Speaker 1>getting a full on life colonoscopy and they're digging into everything.

340
00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:01.359
<v Speaker 1>So Prince Andrew is in serious jeopardy. Mount Baton Windsor

341
00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:05.160
<v Speaker 1>has previously denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, but

342
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:08.640
<v Speaker 1>has made no comment on allegations arising from the recent

343
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:12.240
<v Speaker 1>release of Epstein files. Well, yeah, he has no business

344
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:15.559
<v Speaker 1>talking about anything. I mean, does anybody really want to

345
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.000
<v Speaker 1>hear from the Joe exotic of the Windsor family unless

346
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:23.200
<v Speaker 1>he's admitting what he's done wrong. After years of scrutiny

347
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:26.720
<v Speaker 1>and criticism over his ties with Epstein, his arrest was

348
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:29.599
<v Speaker 1>the first of a senior royal since Charles the First,

349
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:34.440
<v Speaker 1>who was beheaded for treason in sixteen forty nine. Wow,

350
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:37.240
<v Speaker 1>just think about that for a minute, all the scum

351
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.680
<v Speaker 1>baggery that has occurred in England over the years, and

352
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Prince Andrew's the one who ends up holding the hot potato. Now,

353
00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:48.599
<v Speaker 1>if that doesn't tell you the kind of dirt bag

354
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:53.160
<v Speaker 1>this dude is, I don't know. What does. His case

355
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:57.400
<v Speaker 1>exposed is the complex and often messy relationship between Britain's

356
00:21:57.400 --> 00:22:02.880
<v Speaker 1>democratically elected government and it's largely ceremonial but still powerful monarchy.

357
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.319
<v Speaker 1>The King seventy seven was not worn beforehand about his

358
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:12.039
<v Speaker 1>brothers emminent arrest, a Palace official told NBC News, but

359
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:16.160
<v Speaker 1>the National Police Chiefs Council, Britain's national body that coordinates

360
00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:19.920
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement, did tell the government, specifically the Home Office,

361
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:25.279
<v Speaker 1>thirty minutes beforehand, in line with routine practice. Came's Valley Police,

362
00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:28.279
<v Speaker 1>which made the arrest, said in a statement, so they

363
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:30.839
<v Speaker 1>have to be very very careful that it doesn't appear

364
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:34.119
<v Speaker 1>that they're giving Prince Andrew any kind of favorable treatment.

365
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:38.519
<v Speaker 1>Right now that this cat's out of the bag, there's

366
00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:41.680
<v Speaker 1>no going back. He has to be treated like anybody

367
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:46.119
<v Speaker 1>else who is being accused of very serious crimes. So

368
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:50.160
<v Speaker 1>if routine practice is to call to the office thirty

369
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:53.799
<v Speaker 1>minutes beforehand, then cool whatever. As long as he is

370
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:58.440
<v Speaker 1>getting treated as everybody else would, that's what matters. No

371
00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:02.160
<v Speaker 1>special favors, no vial treatment. Ultimately, at some point the

372
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:06.200
<v Speaker 1>police and Crown Prosecution Service will have to decide whether

373
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:09.599
<v Speaker 1>to charge Mount Baton windsor or not, a decision that

374
00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:13.440
<v Speaker 1>might take weeks or months. The name of its authority,

375
00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the Crown Prosecution Service or a CPS, indicates just how

376
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:22.400
<v Speaker 1>extraordinary the circumstances are. Though the British monarchy has little

377
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.359
<v Speaker 1>everyday political power, the organs of the state still draw

378
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:30.079
<v Speaker 1>their authority from the throne. If the former prince were

379
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:32.279
<v Speaker 1>to go to trial, it would be listed as the

380
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:36.240
<v Speaker 1>king first, Mount Baton winsor pitting the younger brother against

381
00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:41.519
<v Speaker 1>the stately powers wilded by his regal elder sibling. Well

382
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:44.799
<v Speaker 1>that's unfortunate, but guess what, I don't care. You guys

383
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:48.039
<v Speaker 1>should have dealt with Andrew a long time ago. This

384
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:51.640
<v Speaker 1>blowback is their own fault. They should have dealt with

385
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Prince Andrew when this all first popped up, but instead

386
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:58.000
<v Speaker 1>they chose to hide it. They chose to off escate,

387
00:23:58.200 --> 00:23:59.759
<v Speaker 1>and they chose to ignore it and act like a

388
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:03.920
<v Speaker 1>new happened, Well, guess what that bills do now? And

389
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:08.319
<v Speaker 1>the interest is eye bulging. Even the arrest itself generated

390
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:12.440
<v Speaker 1>newspaper headlines and social media trending topics worldwide. The Times,

391
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Britain's establishment newspaper record played it straight with the arrest

392
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:20.880
<v Speaker 1>of Andrew, while The New York Post opted for another extreme.

393
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:26.240
<v Speaker 1>The Prince of Darkness. Mount Baton Windsor has faced scrutiny

394
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and criticism since at least twenty eleven, when Feure erupted

395
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:34.440
<v Speaker 1>over his continued friendship with a disgraced financier who had

396
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:38.359
<v Speaker 1>recently served thirteen months for procuring a child for prostitution

397
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:45.960
<v Speaker 1>and soliciting a prostitute. Procuring a child for prostitution? What

398
00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:48.359
<v Speaker 1>sort of world do we live in where that can

399
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.119
<v Speaker 1>even be a sentence? Like for real, for real children

400
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:56.240
<v Speaker 1>cannot consent, they cannot be prostitutes. One of the most

401
00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.759
<v Speaker 1>prominent survivors of Epstein's sexual abuse, Virginia Roberts, alleged that

402
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:05.160
<v Speaker 1>the financier trafficked her to his powerful friends, including Mount

403
00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Baton Winsor, against whom she filed a lawsuit in twenty

404
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:12.359
<v Speaker 1>twenty one, alleging that the former prince sexually abused her

405
00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:16.720
<v Speaker 1>when she was seventeen. Mount Baton Winsor, who has always

406
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:20.079
<v Speaker 1>denied meeting with Roberts, reached the legal settlement with her

407
00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:23.799
<v Speaker 1>for an undisclosed amount in twenty twenty two. It contained

408
00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:28.119
<v Speaker 1>no admission of liability or apology, not just you know,

409
00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:31.480
<v Speaker 1>seventeen million dollars. No big deal. I didn't do anything,

410
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:35.240
<v Speaker 1>but here's seventeen million. Does that make sense to anybody

411
00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:40.599
<v Speaker 1>out there? Not to me, it doesn't. He's been among

412
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:45.079
<v Speaker 1>the least popular royals since at least twenty nineteen, when

413
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:49.319
<v Speaker 1>a disastrous BBC interview brought his Epstein ties to the four.

414
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:53.200
<v Speaker 1>That has only deepened. A poll by you gov on

415
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:56.359
<v Speaker 1>Friday found eighty two percent of Britons now believed that

416
00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:59.440
<v Speaker 1>the son of the late Queen Elizabeth I should be

417
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:03.000
<v Speaker 1>removed from the line of succession. He's currently eighth in

418
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:06.960
<v Speaker 1>line to the British throne. Well, that's certain. He needs

419
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:10.799
<v Speaker 1>to be removed from succession like yesterday. Imagine this dude

420
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:13.759
<v Speaker 1>taking over the crown, taking over the throne, talk about

421
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:17.200
<v Speaker 1>a national emergency. The good news is that's never going

422
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:21.359
<v Speaker 1>to happen because he's eighth in line and of course,

423
00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:24.680
<v Speaker 1>the king's sons have their own sons, their own kids,

424
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:28.559
<v Speaker 1>and they supersed Andrew when it comes to succession, So

425
00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't really think that's that big of an issue,

426
00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:33.839
<v Speaker 1>but certainly something that if I was a citizen in

427
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:36.599
<v Speaker 1>the UK, i'd want to see addressed at some point.

428
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:40.880
<v Speaker 1>But this is just the beginning for Andrew, and this

429
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:43.519
<v Speaker 1>is going to be a very long road. Now. If

430
00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:45.279
<v Speaker 1>it ends up with him going to prison or not,

431
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.400
<v Speaker 1>I can't say, but this is the first step in

432
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:52.039
<v Speaker 1>figuring out what's what. And I think that when all

433
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:55.279
<v Speaker 1>is said and done and all of the evidence is presented,

434
00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:58.839
<v Speaker 1>Joe Exotic of the Windsor family is going to be

435
00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:04.960
<v Speaker 1>in for a very long and very bumpy ride. All right, folks,

436
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:08.359
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna do it for this one. All the information

437
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:11.359
<v Speaker 1>that goes with this episode can be found in the

438
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:15.960
<v Speaker 1>description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode

439
00:27:16.119 --> 00:27:20.319
<v Speaker 1>of the Epstein Chronicles. Whenever you're dealing with high profile

440
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:24.319
<v Speaker 1>people who are rich and powerful, who are under suspicion

441
00:27:24.680 --> 00:27:28.039
<v Speaker 1>of committing crimes, you're dealing with a different sort of

442
00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:32.440
<v Speaker 1>animal than a usual investigation. The rules on paper might

443
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:35.960
<v Speaker 1>look the same, but the battlefield is not the same.

444
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:42.519
<v Speaker 1>Wealth buys time, and time destroys cases. Power buys insulation,

445
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:47.880
<v Speaker 1>and insulation suffocates witnesses. Status buys credibility that has not

446
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:51.319
<v Speaker 1>been earned, and that credibility is used like a weapon.

447
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.640
<v Speaker 1>The subject rarely fights the facts. They fight the process itself.

448
00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:00.519
<v Speaker 1>They fight jurisdiction, they fight discovery, they fight public attention,

449
00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:05.039
<v Speaker 1>and they fight institutional will. They also fight by turning

450
00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:09.759
<v Speaker 1>the investigation into a referendum on the investigators. And that's

451
00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:14.079
<v Speaker 1>why you can't approach these cases like routine policing, because

452
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:17.640
<v Speaker 1>in elite cases, the obstacle is not merely proof, it's

453
00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:22.279
<v Speaker 1>access to proof. And because of those circumstances, you have

454
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:26.079
<v Speaker 1>to come at it in creative ways. Creative doesn't mean reckless,

455
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and it does not mean political. Creative means strategic, disciplined,

456
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:35.759
<v Speaker 1>and relentlessly lawful. It means selecting investigative avenues that produce

457
00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:40.200
<v Speaker 1>hard evidence instead of endless debate. It means using charges

458
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:45.559
<v Speaker 1>that open doors to records, devices, communications, travel, and money.

459
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:49.799
<v Speaker 1>It also means building from what is provable today into

460
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:54.119
<v Speaker 1>what becomes provable tomorrow. It means understanding that the subject's

461
00:28:54.119 --> 00:29:00.559
<v Speaker 1>strongest shield is ambiguity. It means collapsing is ambiguity into timelines, documents,

462
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:05.319
<v Speaker 1>and corroborated witness accounts. It means anticipating that the subject

463
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:08.720
<v Speaker 1>will try to delay until the world stops caring. And

464
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:12.839
<v Speaker 1>it means moving fast enough that the facts outrun the spin.

465
00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:16.240
<v Speaker 1>And that, of course, brings us to Prince Andrew and

466
00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:20.920
<v Speaker 1>his arrest today for allegedly passing classified information to Jeffrey Epstein.

467
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:26.160
<v Speaker 1>The significance is larger than a headline. We're not talking

468
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:31.079
<v Speaker 1>about celebrity gossip dressed up as law enforcement. This is

469
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:34.480
<v Speaker 1>the machinery of state taking a scalpel to alleged misuse

470
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:38.920
<v Speaker 1>of office. Even if some people insist on calling it procedural,

471
00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:43.759
<v Speaker 1>that label is a sedative, not analysis. The arrest is

472
00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:47.519
<v Speaker 1>a legal pivot that forces the case in the formal lanes.

473
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:53.359
<v Speaker 1>And formal lanes, as discussed before, create timetables, compel disclosures,

474
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and raise the cost of falsehood's. Formal lanes also unlock

475
00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:02.279
<v Speaker 1>investigative tools that don't exist when everyone is just looking

476
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:06.319
<v Speaker 1>into it. The core point is simple. A custody event

477
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:10.200
<v Speaker 1>changes the posture of everyone involved. When that custody event

478
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:15.160
<v Speaker 1>is tied to Epstein. The posture changes dramatically, and of

479
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.440
<v Speaker 1>course it can lead to deeper investigation into the allegations

480
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:22.720
<v Speaker 1>against them that were made by Virginia. That's not speculation, folks,

481
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:27.000
<v Speaker 1>That's how serious investigations operate. When new evidence channels open

482
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:31.240
<v Speaker 1>when a subject is under investigation for one set of conduct,

483
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:36.880
<v Speaker 1>investigators lawfully follow where the evidence leads. They reassess earlier

484
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:40.519
<v Speaker 1>allegations through the lens of new records, new devices, and

485
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:45.160
<v Speaker 1>new witnesses. They test old timelines against newly obtained data.

486
00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:50.000
<v Speaker 1>They scrutinize statements for contradictions that were previously academic but

487
00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:55.319
<v Speaker 1>are now evidentiary. They locate and reinterview peripheral witnesses who

488
00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:58.880
<v Speaker 1>were never protected by fame. They examine the network around

489
00:30:58.920 --> 00:31:04.640
<v Speaker 1>the subject, not just the subject. They evaluate patterns of access, facilitation,

490
00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:08.880
<v Speaker 1>and concealment, and they build a case architecture that can

491
00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:13.440
<v Speaker 1>support additional charges if justified. And I know that people

492
00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:16.599
<v Speaker 1>are saying that Prince Andrew being arrested on these charges

493
00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:21.599
<v Speaker 1>seems procedural, and that's the tell. Procedural is what gets

494
00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:25.119
<v Speaker 1>said when someone wants to make the public emotionally stand down.

495
00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Procedural is what gets said when someone wants to treat

496
00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:33.039
<v Speaker 1>e lead exposure as nothing more than an administrative inconvenience.

497
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:36.359
<v Speaker 1>But the truth is they are not procedural in the

498
00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:40.400
<v Speaker 1>way people mean it. Procedure is the mechanism by which

499
00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:45.160
<v Speaker 1>truth is extracted, preserved, and tested. Procedure is how you

500
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:49.880
<v Speaker 1>stop private power from rewriting public reality, and procedure is

501
00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:54.880
<v Speaker 1>how you impose consequences on lies intimidation and evidence destruction.

502
00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Procedure is also how you take a subject out of

503
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:03.000
<v Speaker 1>his comfort zone of pr and place them into the

504
00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:07.680
<v Speaker 1>discipline of court oversight. Procedure is how you turn allegations

505
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:12.440
<v Speaker 1>into admissible proof. And procedure is exactly what powerful people

506
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:17.519
<v Speaker 1>spend fortunes trying to avoid. For just these allegations of

507
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:23.759
<v Speaker 1>him passing Epstein classified information, he's facing a possible life sentence. Now.

508
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:27.000
<v Speaker 1>That might shock people because they assume elite misconduct is

509
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:30.680
<v Speaker 1>always treated like a slap on the wrist. It's not always,

510
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:34.240
<v Speaker 1>and the law is not designed to exempt royalty from gravity.

511
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:39.079
<v Speaker 1>The potential penalty signals the alleged abuse is viewed as

512
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:43.720
<v Speaker 1>a serious violation of public trust. It also signals that

513
00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:46.440
<v Speaker 1>the state can frame the conduct as more than just

514
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:50.519
<v Speaker 1>an embarrassment. Whether the ultimate outcome is a conviction or not,

515
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:55.559
<v Speaker 1>the seriousness of the exposure is the point for investigative strategy.

516
00:32:56.559 --> 00:33:02.119
<v Speaker 1>Serious exposure changes incentives inside the subject circle. Serious exposure

517
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:07.640
<v Speaker 1>makes intermediaries rethink loyalty. Serious exposure makes I don't recall

518
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:13.079
<v Speaker 1>less comfortable, and serious exposure makes cooperation a rational choice

519
00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:15.960
<v Speaker 1>for people who fear being left hold in the bag.

520
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Because there's no doubt that this expands the scope into

521
00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:25.119
<v Speaker 1>other possible crimes. And that's the part the public routinely misses.

522
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Scope expansion is not a conspiracy, folks, it's a consequence

523
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:34.119
<v Speaker 1>of evidence. Once you have lawful grounds to seize records,

524
00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:37.319
<v Speaker 1>you don't unsee what those records contained. Once you have

525
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:41.400
<v Speaker 1>custody leverage, you don't pretend that leverage doesn't exist. And

526
00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:44.920
<v Speaker 1>once you have a subject under the microscope, you don't

527
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:49.079
<v Speaker 1>politely ignore what the microscope reveals. You follow the trail

528
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:57.039
<v Speaker 1>through communications, calendars, travel, money, and facilitation. You identify who scheduled,

529
00:33:57.119 --> 00:34:01.079
<v Speaker 1>who introduced, who transported, who paid, and who cleaned up.

530
00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:05.960
<v Speaker 1>You test whether the conduct was isolated or patterned. You

531
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:09.440
<v Speaker 1>test whether the subject's story is consistent across time and

532
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:14.639
<v Speaker 1>across documents, and if it is not consistent, inconsistency becomes

533
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:18.599
<v Speaker 1>evidence of consciousness of guilt. And that's why it should

534
00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:21.480
<v Speaker 1>be the blueprint for dealing with Epstein's associates here in

535
00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:25.199
<v Speaker 1>America as well. And look, the blueprint isn't a slogan

536
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:28.719
<v Speaker 1>that shit's a method. It starts with abandoning the fantasy

537
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:32.880
<v Speaker 1>that one perfect case will fall from the sky fully formed.

538
00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:36.440
<v Speaker 1>It starts with charging what can be proven beyond the

539
00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:40.320
<v Speaker 1>reasonable doubt, not what sounds the most satisfying on a microphone.

540
00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:46.679
<v Speaker 1>It starts with building from anchors, records, devices, financial trails,

541
00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:53.440
<v Speaker 1>travel manifests, authenticated communication, even corroborated witness testimony. It starts

542
00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:56.679
<v Speaker 1>with locking in statements early so lies can be measured.

543
00:34:57.320 --> 00:35:01.199
<v Speaker 1>It starts with preventing delay from beco the defense strategy.

544
00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:06.480
<v Speaker 1>It starts with treating facilitators as central because enterprises run

545
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:10.599
<v Speaker 1>on facilitation. And it starts with refusing to let prestige

546
00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:14.800
<v Speaker 1>veto enforcement. When I say investigate them all, I'm not

547
00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:19.440
<v Speaker 1>calling for chaos. I'm calling for consistency. Investigate them all

548
00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:23.559
<v Speaker 1>means apply the same evidentiary rigor to every name, including

549
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:26.559
<v Speaker 1>the names that everybody is afraid to touch. It means

550
00:35:26.599 --> 00:35:31.239
<v Speaker 1>follow the access, even when the access is wrapped in philanthropy, academia,

551
00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:36.159
<v Speaker 1>or politics. It means follow the logistics, even when the

552
00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:41.239
<v Speaker 1>logistics are disguised as networking and mentorship. It means review

553
00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:46.519
<v Speaker 1>the gatekeepers, assistance, fixers, and advisors who made Epstein's world functional.

554
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:50.679
<v Speaker 1>It means treating the orbit as a potential operational layer

555
00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:56.079
<v Speaker 1>until evidence proves otherwise. It means not confusing social proximity

556
00:35:56.320 --> 00:36:01.400
<v Speaker 1>with innocence. It means not confusing reputation with alibi, and

557
00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:07.280
<v Speaker 1>it means not letting the loudest defenders control the investigative agenda.

558
00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:10.119
<v Speaker 1>If any crimes have been committed and they are a

559
00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:13.039
<v Speaker 1>provable and backed up by the evidence, make an arrest.

560
00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:16.960
<v Speaker 1>That's the hinge point where accountability becomes real. Arrest is

561
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:20.840
<v Speaker 1>in vengeance, and it's not theater. It's a legal mechanism.

562
00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:26.480
<v Speaker 1>It triggers formal safeguards and formal obligations. It also triggers

563
00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:30.679
<v Speaker 1>formal consequences for interference. It takes the case out of

564
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:33.880
<v Speaker 1>the realm of discourse and puts it into the system

565
00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:39.280
<v Speaker 1>with rules and penalties. It forces the subject to choose

566
00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:44.840
<v Speaker 1>between silence, denial, partial admission, and cooperation. It forces counsel

567
00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:49.039
<v Speaker 1>to respond to facts rather than rumors. It forces institutions

568
00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:54.400
<v Speaker 1>around the subject to decide whether they will obstruct or comply.

569
00:36:55.599 --> 00:36:59.599
<v Speaker 1>It forces witnesses to reassess whether coming forward might finally

570
00:36:59.639 --> 00:37:03.599
<v Speaker 1>matter end. It forces the public to confront that the

571
00:37:03.639 --> 00:37:08.000
<v Speaker 1>powerful can in fact be treated like suspects. And once

572
00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:11.119
<v Speaker 1>you have them in custody and under the microscope, expands

573
00:37:11.159 --> 00:37:14.599
<v Speaker 1>your scope. That's not a dirty tactic, it's the correct

574
00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:19.639
<v Speaker 1>tactic in enterprise adjacent cases. Enterprise cases are rarely solved

575
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:23.440
<v Speaker 1>by staring at the headline allegation alone. They're solved by

576
00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:28.440
<v Speaker 1>mapping the ecosystem around the allegation. Custody gives lawful opportunity

577
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:34.440
<v Speaker 1>to search, preserve, and compare. Microscopy reveals the same small

578
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:38.440
<v Speaker 1>details that prove the big picture. The small details are

579
00:37:38.519 --> 00:37:41.360
<v Speaker 1>often the most damning because they are the hardest to

580
00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:46.239
<v Speaker 1>explain away. Who called whom, who forwarded what, who scheduled what,

581
00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:50.360
<v Speaker 1>who paid what, who deleted what? And who lied about

582
00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:56.360
<v Speaker 1>it later on. Expansion also allows investigators to connect separate

583
00:37:56.400 --> 00:38:00.440
<v Speaker 1>allegations into coherent pattern when the evidence supports it, and

584
00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:07.199
<v Speaker 1>patterns once documented or where a reasonable doubt starts to die. Now,

585
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:10.159
<v Speaker 1>the reason that this method works is that elite misconduct

586
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:16.079
<v Speaker 1>depends on compartmentalization. Compartmentalization means everyone knows a piece and

587
00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:20.559
<v Speaker 1>nobody admits to knowing the whole. And Epstein's world thrived

588
00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:26.239
<v Speaker 1>on compartmentalization because it protects everyone and breaking. It requires

589
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:30.760
<v Speaker 1>corroboration across sources that don't rely on any single witness.

590
00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:35.760
<v Speaker 1>It requires records that align with testimony. It requires testimony

591
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:39.679
<v Speaker 1>that aligns with timelines. It requires timelines that align with

592
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:44.519
<v Speaker 1>digital footprints. It requires digital footprints that align with money

593
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:48.639
<v Speaker 1>and movement. It requires building the case like an engineer,

594
00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:53.199
<v Speaker 1>not like a commentator. And it requires accepting that the

595
00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:56.960
<v Speaker 1>first charge is often the pride bar, not the final indictment.

596
00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:01.239
<v Speaker 1>In high profile cases, the subjec X first defense is

597
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:05.960
<v Speaker 1>not innocence, its narrative control. Narrative control is attempted through

598
00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:12.119
<v Speaker 1>sympathetic framing, selective leaks, and surrogate amplification. Now, the subject

599
00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:15.320
<v Speaker 1>circle is going to push the idea that investigators are

600
00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:20.239
<v Speaker 1>over eager, biased, or confused. They turn the procedural steps

601
00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:25.280
<v Speaker 1>into witch hunts and evidence into misunderstandings. They flood the

602
00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:29.280
<v Speaker 1>zone with distractions so the public forgets the central fact pattern.

603
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:34.239
<v Speaker 1>They attempt to shame institutions into stepping back. They attempt

604
00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:38.480
<v Speaker 1>to exhaust victims and witnesses with endless noise. They also

605
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:44.400
<v Speaker 1>attempt to make accountability feel impolite. And that's why investigators

606
00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:48.719
<v Speaker 1>must stay anchored to proof and sequence, because proof beats

607
00:39:48.800 --> 00:39:52.960
<v Speaker 1>narrative when proof is obtained early and preserved properly. Sequence

608
00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:57.280
<v Speaker 1>beats narrative when sequence keeps the case moving, and movement

609
00:39:57.559 --> 00:40:01.400
<v Speaker 1>is the enemy of spin. This is also why so

610
00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:06.239
<v Speaker 1>many people misread the seriousness of official misconduct style allegations.

611
00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:11.159
<v Speaker 1>They imagine paperwork and protocol, not betrayal of public office.

612
00:40:11.599 --> 00:40:15.239
<v Speaker 1>But betrayal of public office is exactly what corrodes the

613
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:19.639
<v Speaker 1>systems legitimacy. It's also the kind of crime that often

614
00:40:19.719 --> 00:40:23.159
<v Speaker 1>leaves documentation, which is why it can be such a

615
00:40:23.159 --> 00:40:28.639
<v Speaker 1>powerful gateway. Documentation doesn't get intimidated, and it does not forget.

616
00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:34.719
<v Speaker 1>Documentation can be authenticated, time stamped, and compared across sources.

617
00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:40.639
<v Speaker 1>Documentation can expose who knew what and when. Documentation can

618
00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:45.920
<v Speaker 1>expose whether the subject's public story is manufactured. Documentation can

619
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:51.760
<v Speaker 1>expose whether intermediaries acted as conduits, and in Epstein link matters,

620
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:56.280
<v Speaker 1>concealment is not incidental, it's the whole operating system, with

621
00:40:56.400 --> 00:40:59.840
<v Speaker 1>the allegation being that sensitive material was passed to Epstein.

622
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Investigators must treat the why as a central question. Why

623
00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:09.039
<v Speaker 1>would a public figure share confidential information with somebody like Epstein?

624
00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:14.039
<v Speaker 1>Was it a favor, a transaction, a vanity play, a

625
00:41:14.119 --> 00:41:19.679
<v Speaker 1>compromised dynamic, or something that created leverage? Did Epstein request

626
00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:23.599
<v Speaker 1>it directly or through intermediaries? Did the subject volunteer it

627
00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:28.639
<v Speaker 1>to impress ingratiate, or curry favor. Did the subject receive

628
00:41:28.760 --> 00:41:33.719
<v Speaker 1>anything in return, even indirectly. Did the information yet used

629
00:41:33.719 --> 00:41:39.840
<v Speaker 1>to facilitate introductions, travel, or influence? Did information get stored, transmitted,

630
00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:44.760
<v Speaker 1>or weaponized? These questions are not moral questions. They are

631
00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:48.880
<v Speaker 1>evidentary questions and ebidentary questions or how you climb from

632
00:41:48.880 --> 00:41:52.920
<v Speaker 1>one allegation to a broader understanding of the whole network

633
00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:57.840
<v Speaker 1>and when you connect this to the Virginia allegations. The

634
00:41:57.880 --> 00:42:02.079
<v Speaker 1>investigative logic is straightforward. You test the older claims with

635
00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:06.880
<v Speaker 1>newly available records and newly compelled disclosure. You recheck timelines

636
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:10.440
<v Speaker 1>that were previously debated in public with data that can

637
00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:14.480
<v Speaker 1>be litigated in court. You assess whether the subject's conduct

638
00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:20.039
<v Speaker 1>shows a pattern of association, concealment, and facilitation. You identify

639
00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:25.840
<v Speaker 1>whether the subjects circle engaged in intimidation, coordination, or evidence suppression.

640
00:42:26.559 --> 00:42:30.559
<v Speaker 1>You look for repeated venues, repeated facilitators, and repeated methods.

641
00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:34.559
<v Speaker 1>You check whether public denials were crafted to evade specific

642
00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:39.559
<v Speaker 1>provable facts. You check whether the subject avoided cooperation historically

643
00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:44.119
<v Speaker 1>and why. You check whether the subject's allies acted as shields.

644
00:42:44.599 --> 00:42:47.519
<v Speaker 1>And you never treat a civil settlement as a substitute

645
00:42:47.719 --> 00:42:51.719
<v Speaker 1>for factual inquiry because the purpose of a criminal process

646
00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:55.760
<v Speaker 1>is different. And this is where the American Blueprint must

647
00:42:55.800 --> 00:43:00.639
<v Speaker 1>be brutally honest about institutional weakness. Epstein's enterprise was not

648
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:04.199
<v Speaker 1>merely a criminal scheme. It was a stress test of

649
00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:09.360
<v Speaker 1>the justice system, and the system failed repeatedly, and failure

650
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:15.639
<v Speaker 1>created permission. Permission created repetition, and repetition created scale. Scale

651
00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:20.800
<v Speaker 1>created fear, and fear created silence. Silence created myth, and

652
00:43:20.920 --> 00:43:26.599
<v Speaker 1>myth created protection, and protection created delay and delay created

653
00:43:26.880 --> 00:43:31.280
<v Speaker 1>a decay of accountability. And that's the cycle that investigators

654
00:43:31.559 --> 00:43:35.920
<v Speaker 1>have to break and Breaking it requires cases that are

655
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:40.679
<v Speaker 1>built on hard anchors. Breaking it requires refusing to treat

656
00:43:40.719 --> 00:43:45.360
<v Speaker 1>elite targets as too complicated. Breaking it requires recognizing that

657
00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:51.559
<v Speaker 1>complexity is often manufactured, and breaking it requires sustained effort,

658
00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:54.960
<v Speaker 1>even when the headlines move on. If you want a

659
00:43:54.960 --> 00:43:58.719
<v Speaker 1>blueprint that works in America against Epstein's associates, you must

660
00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:03.920
<v Speaker 1>remove the culture allergy to arresting important people. Importance is

661
00:44:03.960 --> 00:44:07.480
<v Speaker 1>not a legal category. Wealth is not an exemption, and

662
00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:11.400
<v Speaker 1>fame is not an alibi. Connections are not a defense,

663
00:44:11.800 --> 00:44:14.800
<v Speaker 1>and the only thing that matters are elements of offenses

664
00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:18.960
<v Speaker 1>and admissible proof. When elements are met and proof exists,

665
00:44:19.199 --> 00:44:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the system must act. When it does not act, it

666
00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:25.840
<v Speaker 1>teaches the next predator and the next enabler that the

667
00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:30.440
<v Speaker 1>ceiling is fake. And that's how enterprises regenerate. That's how

668
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:34.840
<v Speaker 1>recruitment pipelines survive. That's how victims get told silently that

669
00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:39.320
<v Speaker 1>power beats the truth. A functioning justice system can allow

670
00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:45.239
<v Speaker 1>that message to stand. So yeah, use the Andrew model

671
00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:48.960
<v Speaker 1>as a blueprint. Identify a provable offense tied to the

672
00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:52.920
<v Speaker 1>abuse of access. Build the case around records that cannot

673
00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:56.559
<v Speaker 1>be talked out of existence. Make the arrest when probable

674
00:44:56.639 --> 00:44:59.920
<v Speaker 1>cause is there and evidence supports it. Put the sub

675
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.800
<v Speaker 1>rejecting custody and under the microscope, so lying becomes risky

676
00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:08.639
<v Speaker 1>and cooperation becomes rational. Expand the scope only when evidence

677
00:45:08.679 --> 00:45:13.559
<v Speaker 1>warrants expansion, and document every step so the process survives scrutiny.

678
00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:19.039
<v Speaker 1>Reassess older allegations using newly compelled data, not public arguments.

679
00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Follow facilitators, not just celebrities, because facilitators are how the

680
00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:28.719
<v Speaker 1>machine runs, and keep the method consistent across names and parties,

681
00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:32.960
<v Speaker 1>because selective enforcement is just another form of cover. The

682
00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:36.440
<v Speaker 1>public must not being trained to accept procedural as a

683
00:45:36.440 --> 00:45:40.760
<v Speaker 1>synonym for meaningless. Procedure is how the powerful get caught

684
00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:44.800
<v Speaker 1>when power is their primary weapon. Procedure is how you

685
00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:48.000
<v Speaker 1>force records into the light. Procedure is how you turn

686
00:45:48.039 --> 00:45:52.199
<v Speaker 1>denials into perjury risk. Procedure is how you turn connections

687
00:45:52.360 --> 00:45:57.559
<v Speaker 1>into conspiracy evidence when coordination exists. Procedure is how you

688
00:45:57.599 --> 00:46:03.800
<v Speaker 1>protect witnesses and punish intimidation. Procedure is how you compel

689
00:46:04.440 --> 00:46:08.840
<v Speaker 1>a truthful narrative when pr is lying and in Epstein

690
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:12.880
<v Speaker 1>adjacent matters. Procedure is the only language that the network

691
00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:17.039
<v Speaker 1>cannot fully manipulate. That's why today matters, and that's why

692
00:46:17.079 --> 00:46:21.280
<v Speaker 1>this blueprint must be applied relentlessly to every single EPSTEIN

693
00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:25.719
<v Speaker 1>case that emerges. And if that blueprint is applied consistently,

694
00:46:25.920 --> 00:46:29.800
<v Speaker 1>without fear and without favoritism, something else happens that is

695
00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:33.760
<v Speaker 1>even more important than any single conviction. The culture shifts,

696
00:46:34.239 --> 00:46:38.440
<v Speaker 1>The myth of untouchability begins to erode, and with it

697
00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:43.079
<v Speaker 1>the quiet calculation that power can outlast scrutiny. Future enablers

698
00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:46.880
<v Speaker 1>think twice before forwarding the email, arranging the meeting, or

699
00:46:46.880 --> 00:46:52.119
<v Speaker 1>smoothing over the red flag. Institutions start prioritizing compliance over

700
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:56.599
<v Speaker 1>access because they understand that proximity to influence is no

701
00:46:56.719 --> 00:47:00.920
<v Speaker 1>longer a shield. Witnesses who once felt isolated begin to

702
00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:04.559
<v Speaker 1>see a path where testimony is not swallowed by inertia.

703
00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Prosecutors learn that careful sequencing and disciplined expansion can penetrate

704
00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:15.480
<v Speaker 1>even the most insulated networks, and the public, long conditioned

705
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:21.679
<v Speaker 1>to expect disappointment, begins to recalibrate its expectations upward. That's

706
00:47:21.719 --> 00:47:25.920
<v Speaker 1>the ultimate objective of this approach, not spectacle, not vengeance,

707
00:47:26.199 --> 00:47:30.119
<v Speaker 1>but a durable demonstration that law is not ornamental when

708
00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:36.079
<v Speaker 1>it confronts wealth, status and proximity to power. All of

709
00:47:36.119 --> 00:47:39.039
<v Speaker 1>the information that goes with this episode can be found
