Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. You know, usually when I wake up in
Speaker 1: the morning and head to the studio, there is a
Speaker 1: ton of bad news to talk about. Well, today we
Speaker 1: have some good news to talk about. And that good
Speaker 1: news is the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family has
Speaker 1: been arrested by authorities in the UK and he was
Speaker 1: arrested for allegedly passing confidential information onto Jeffrey Epstein. Now,
Speaker 1: of course it's not the kind of charges that we want, right.
Speaker 1: Everybody wants him to be held accountable for what he
Speaker 1: did to Virginia. But we have to live in the
Speaker 1: real world, and when we're talking about people like Prince
Speaker 1: Andrew and other powerful people like him, we have to
Speaker 1: start somewhere, right, every great journey starts with the first step,
Speaker 1: and hopefully this is the first step to real justice,
Speaker 1: because you know they're gonna have quick for him, and
Speaker 1: now that he is in custody and under investigation, maybe
Speaker 1: there'll be a way to get him to speak with
Speaker 1: authorities in the United States about what he knows or
Speaker 1: doesn't know. But one thing is for sure, this is
Speaker 1: the first step. Right when we're talking about people like
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew, powerful people, you have to get creative if
Speaker 1: you want to hold them accountable. And this is why
Speaker 1: I've talked about process, and this is why I've talked
Speaker 1: about going after people via the money trail, because that's
Speaker 1: the kind of shit that sticks. There's no arguing with
Speaker 1: what the money trail says. It is what it is.
Speaker 1: It doesn't lose its memory, it doesn't get destroyed on
Speaker 1: cross examination. It tells the story right, and that's the
Speaker 1: kind of story that leads to people like Prince Andrew
Speaker 1: actually going to prison. And as I've said multiple times
Speaker 1: over the years, I'll take whatever we can get as
Speaker 1: long as these people end up in prison and it
Speaker 1: opens the investigation up further. I think that's a victory. Now.
Speaker 1: Is it an astonishing first round knockout victory. Of course not.
Speaker 1: But folks, let's not act like this isn't a big deal.
Speaker 1: We're talking about a prince of the blood, one of
Speaker 1: the members of the royal family of England, being arrested
Speaker 1: for passing confidential information to Jeffrey Epstein. And it's not
Speaker 1: just him, mandelssh allegedly did the same thing. So do
Speaker 1: you just think it's those two dudes over in the
Speaker 1: UK or do you think there were other people doing
Speaker 1: the same thing around the world. And it really goes
Speaker 1: to strengthen the argument that Jeffrey Epstein was collecting information
Speaker 1: and then disseminating that information to whoever was the highest bidder,
Speaker 1: or using it himself to enrich himself and his friends.
Speaker 1: But nothing's free. When he would enrich his friends, he
Speaker 1: would also entangle them in his crimes, so that was
Speaker 1: all part of the hustle. And Prince Andrew passing on
Speaker 1: this confidential information is a big ass deal. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're talking about a serious, serious issue. Not only a prince,
Speaker 1: but a trade envoy who's there to represent the UK
Speaker 1: is passing classified information onto their buddy Jeffrey Epstein, who's
Speaker 1: working for god knows who. Not exactly what I would
Speaker 1: call a good look. Today's article is from the AP
Speaker 1: and the headline Andrew mount Baton Windsor arrested on suspicion
Speaker 1: of misconduct in public office. This article was authored by
Speaker 1: AP staff Andrew mount Batton Windsor, the former British prince
Speaker 1: who was stripped of his royal titles because of his
Speaker 1: links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was arrested Thursday
Speaker 1: on suspicion of misconduct in public office. While Andrew has
Speaker 1: consistently denied any wrongdoing in connection with his friendship with Epstein,
Speaker 1: concerns about Mount Baton Windsor's links to the late financier
Speaker 1: have dabbed the Royal family for more than a decade. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's usually what happens when you're accused of sexually assaulting somebody,
Speaker 1: a trafficked underage girl, and then you get onto the
Speaker 1: BBC Newsnight program and make a fool of yourself. Usually
Speaker 1: that ends up pretty bad for you. And my guess
Speaker 1: is if Prince Andrew could go back in time and
Speaker 1: do it all over again, he would have never given
Speaker 1: that interview in the first place. I mean, talk about
Speaker 1: one of the worst interviews in the history of worst interviews.
Speaker 1: I remember watching it as it happened, and I couldn't
Speaker 1: believe that this dude was saying the things that he
Speaker 1: was saying, Like you could tell he was lying in
Speaker 1: real time. Thames Valley Police said that a man in
Speaker 1: his sixties from Norfolk in eastern England was arrested and
Speaker 1: remained in custody. The force, which covers areas of London,
Speaker 1: including Mount Baton, Winsor's former home, did not IDENTI defy
Speaker 1: the suspect in line with standred procedure in Britain, but
Speaker 1: pointed to this statement when asked to confirm if Andrew
Speaker 1: was arrested. And it's a little different over in the UK, right,
Speaker 1: it's not as much of a spectacle as it is
Speaker 1: here in America when somebody gets hemmed up. But it's
Speaker 1: obvious that it's Prince Andrew who was arrested. They're just
Speaker 1: not going to say anything about it, at least not yet.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're going to make a statement at some point,
Speaker 1: but this is right in line with typical procedure over
Speaker 1: in the UK. Now, Bounton Windsor, who turned sixty six
Speaker 1: on Thursday, moved to his brother, King Charles the Third's
Speaker 1: estate in Norfolk after he was evicted from his longtime
Speaker 1: home near Windsor Castle earlier this month. YO talk about
Speaker 1: a great birthday, President, huh. I guess hanging out with
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein and passing them confidential information wasn't a good
Speaker 1: idea after all, was it? Prince Andrew? After the ear
Speaker 1: Charles said that the law must take its course in
Speaker 1: the investigation of his brother. Well, yeah, what else can
Speaker 1: he say? I mean, honestly, the king can't really say
Speaker 1: much at this point. He's between the proverbial rock and
Speaker 1: a hard place. Imagine your brother was Prince Andrew, and
Speaker 1: imagine he was this big of a moron making your
Speaker 1: life this difficult. But him getting arrested obviously not a
Speaker 1: good look for the Royal family. I mean, you want
Speaker 1: to talk about optics, and not only optics but precedent.
Speaker 1: Now that Prince Andrew has been arrested, the floodgates could
Speaker 1: open for the Royal family. And I really think this
Speaker 1: is a turning point in the history of the monarchy
Speaker 1: and the UK. I truly believe that. Now. Of course,
Speaker 1: I'm certainly no expert on the monarchy or on the UK,
Speaker 1: but I think there is a change in the wind,
Speaker 1: and I think people have had enough. And I think
Speaker 1: that getting a look at those Epstein files, and I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about all this salacious stuff. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: the verifiable way these people talk about the rest of us,
Speaker 1: about how they feel about the rest of us, and
Speaker 1: I think that really put things into perspective for a
Speaker 1: lot of people who might not have understood the sort
Speaker 1: of evil that we're dealing with. And when I say evil,
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about, you know, some cartoon villain. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about the people that are in control of your life,
Speaker 1: people giving you loans, people that are in charge of
Speaker 1: the economy, people that are in charge of the countries.
Speaker 1: These people, they have a lot of contempt for you.
Speaker 1: And the only time you're worst shit to them is
Speaker 1: when there's an election. That's it. Besides that, they're going
Speaker 1: to do whatever they want whenever they want to do it,
Speaker 1: and obviously they don't give a shit what the rest
Speaker 1: of us think. And after people saw those emails, I
Speaker 1: don't think that was something that could be the anymore
Speaker 1: because all you have to do is spend a little
Speaker 1: bit of time reading through those emails and you understand
Speaker 1: very quickly that you, in fact, are not part of
Speaker 1: the club. Thames Valley Police previously said it was assessing
Speaker 1: reports that amount Batton Winsor sent confidential trade reports to
Speaker 1: Epstein in twenty ten, when the former Prince was Britain
Speaker 1: Special Envoy for International Trade. Those reports them from correspondence
Speaker 1: between the two men that was among the millions of
Speaker 1: pages of documents from the US Justice Department's investigation into
Speaker 1: Epstein that were released last month. So the FBI had
Speaker 1: this information, the DOJ had this information. Why didn't they
Speaker 1: give it to the English government? Why did they sit
Speaker 1: on it? Why did they let Prince Andrew just skate?
Speaker 1: Unless Prince Andrew was given that information to an American asset,
Speaker 1: I'll let you chew on that for a minute. Following
Speaker 1: a thorough assessment, we have now opened an investigation into
Speaker 1: this allegation of misconduct, and Public Office Assistant Chief Constable
Speaker 1: Oliver Wright said in a statement. We understand the significant
Speaker 1: public interest in the case and we will provide updates
Speaker 1: at the appropriate time. The arrest came his pictures circulated
Speaker 1: online that appeared to show unmarked police cars at wood Farm,
Speaker 1: Mount Batten's Windsor home on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk,
Speaker 1: with plain clothes officers gathering outside. YO. This is a
Speaker 1: stunning fall from grace and one well deserved. And it's
Speaker 1: a damn shame that Virginia isn't with us to see
Speaker 1: it happen, because this is what she pushed for for
Speaker 1: a very long time. And I can guarantee you if
Speaker 1: she was still with us, she would be taken a
Speaker 1: victory lab In his statement, Charles reiterated that he would
Speaker 1: cooperate with the investigation of the former prince. Let me
Speaker 1: stay clearly, the law must take its the King said,
Speaker 1: as this process continues, it would not be right for
Speaker 1: me to comment further on this matter. The statement signed
Speaker 1: Charles R. Also sought to distance the royal family from
Speaker 1: Mount bat and Winsor. My family and I will continue
Speaker 1: in our duty and service to you all he said,
Speaker 1: And look real talk. If the Queen was still alive,
Speaker 1: I don't think Prince Andrew would have been arrested. She
Speaker 1: protected him like it was nobody's business, protected him like smog,
Speaker 1: protected his gold, and she did everything in her power
Speaker 1: to make sure that Andrew never dealt with consequence. Well,
Speaker 1: guess what, Mummy is no longer here to protect you,
Speaker 1: you sweaty ass nons. And speaking of sweat, my guess
Speaker 1: is he's probably sweating as we speak. The late Queen
Speaker 1: Elizabeth the Second, forced her second son to give up
Speaker 1: royal dy duties and then his charitable work in twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: after he tried to explain away his ties to Epstein
Speaker 1: during a catastrophic interview with the BBC. Well, she was
Speaker 1: forced to do that, but he wasn't exiled, he wasn't
Speaker 1: banned from royal functions. She just had to make a
Speaker 1: show that she was doing something. But more details about
Speaker 1: the relationship emerged in a book published last year, and
Speaker 1: Charles stripdam of the right to be called a prince
Speaker 1: and ordered him to move. Then came the unprecedented announcement
Speaker 1: last week that Buckingham Palace was ready to cooperate in
Speaker 1: the event of a police inquiry into Mount Baton Winsor's
Speaker 1: links to Ebstein talk about getting voted off the island.
Speaker 1: Charles was forced to act after the US Justice Department
Speaker 1: released millions of pages of Epstein documents that revealed the
Speaker 1: extent of his relationship with Mount Baton Windsor and showed
Speaker 1: that their correspondence continued long after Epstein pleaded guilty in
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight to soliciting a minor for prostitution.
Speaker 1: Epstein was arrested on sex trafficking charges brought by federal
Speaker 1: prosecutors in New York in twenty nineteen. He took his
Speaker 1: own life in jail while awaiting trial or did he
Speaker 1: I love how confident they say that, Oh yeah, he
Speaker 1: took his own life while in jail. Oh okay, cool,
Speaker 1: let's see the evidence. As far as Prince Andrew's bitch
Speaker 1: ass goes, couldn't happen to a better person, and he
Speaker 1: deserves everything that's coming his way. And make no mistake,
Speaker 1: Andrew's in serious jeopardy here, serious jeopardy, and he very
Speaker 1: well could find himself in prison. Now, obviously we're a
Speaker 1: long way away from that happening, but it's certainly something
Speaker 1: that's on the table. And if you would have asked
Speaker 1: me just a year ago if Prince Andrew was in
Speaker 1: any jeopardy of ever going to jail or prison, the
Speaker 1: answer would have been no. But you can't argue with
Speaker 1: the documentation, you cannot argue with the money trail, and
Speaker 1: you can't argue with the fact that Prince Andrew has
Speaker 1: been caught red handed here handing off confidential information to
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. So for the first time in his life,
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew mount Batten Windsor is gonna have to face
Speaker 1: the consequences of his actions. And you know what I'm
Speaker 1: here for it all of the information that goes with.
Speaker 1: This episode can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone,
Speaker 1: and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In
Speaker 1: this episode, we're gonna hop across the pond and we're
Speaker 1: gonna check in on the Joe exotic of the Windsor family.
Speaker 1: In the aftermath of his arrest, and if the picture
Speaker 1: that is circulating tells the story, he didn't have a
Speaker 1: very good time. And I think that things are just
Speaker 1: gonna get worse for Prince Andrew as we move forward. Now, look,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that he's
Speaker 1: gonna end up in prison. I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: think that he's in serious jeopardy. And I think that
Speaker 1: the further they dig, the more they're gonna find. Because
Speaker 1: I've said it from the beginning, Prince Andrew's dirty as hell.
Speaker 1: And I don't just mean with Jeffrey Epstein. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about all the stuff he was up to. When you're
Speaker 1: as greedy as Prince Andrew, there is not a scumbag
Speaker 1: on earth you're not willing to get into bed with
Speaker 1: no pun intended. And we've seen it with Libyans, we've
Speaker 1: seen it with Chinese Communist Party, officials. We've seen it
Speaker 1: with people in the Middle East, with Jeffrey Epstein, you
Speaker 1: name it. If Prince Andrew thought he could get something
Speaker 1: out of the deal, there's nobody on this planet he
Speaker 1: wouldn't spend time with. I mean, it's not bad enough
Speaker 1: you are a palain around with Jeffrey Epstein, but you
Speaker 1: were also friends with mister Nigard as well. I'm sure
Speaker 1: it was just all a coincidence there too, right. Today's
Speaker 1: article is from NBC News and the headline possible next
Speaker 1: steps after the arrest of former Prince Andrew. This article
Speaker 1: was authored by Alexander Smith and Henry Austen. Andrew mount
Speaker 1: Batten Windsor may have been released from custody, but his
Speaker 1: legal saga is not over. Well. Yeah, they arranged him right,
Speaker 1: They brought him in, they booked him, and he made
Speaker 1: bell and I didn't think they were going to hold him.
Speaker 1: This is all just part of the process now to
Speaker 1: get things moving, and Prince Andrew is not somebody that
Speaker 1: they're going to hold in jail as they investigate him now.
Speaker 1: They probably took his passport though, that would be my guess,
Speaker 1: because you know that Prince Andrew or the former Prince
Speaker 1: Andrew is probably thinking about an escape at this point.
Speaker 1: That pad in the Arabian desert must be real appealing.
Speaker 1: Right now, Prince Andrew of Arabia has a ring to it.
Speaker 1: On Friday, please continue to search his former residence of
Speaker 1: Royal Lodge in Windsor. This is where he used to
Speaker 1: live before his brother, King Charles the Third asked him
Speaker 1: to leave last year amid mounting pressure over his relationship
Speaker 1: with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1: And even that had to be tooth and nail. Andrew
Speaker 1: couldn't even do the simple thing of just saying, you
Speaker 1: know what, you're right, I'll move out, I'll move into
Speaker 1: whatever property you're providing for me, and I'll take care
Speaker 1: of the corgi's there. But no, it has to be
Speaker 1: a whole thing. He has to act entitled and like
Speaker 1: he has something coming to him, when all he really
Speaker 1: has coming to him, or should have come in to him,
Speaker 1: is a gigantic legal case that brings jail time. That's
Speaker 1: what he should be worried about. But instead he's out
Speaker 1: here manipulating everybody and making the King jump through hoops
Speaker 1: to remove him from this property, as if you haven't
Speaker 1: caused your family enough pain already. Imagine being such a
Speaker 1: detestable human being that your mother's dying of bone cancer
Speaker 1: and you just keep all of this on top of
Speaker 1: her instead of just owning up to it and facing
Speaker 1: the music. I mean, has there ever been a bigger
Speaker 1: coward than the Diddler formerly known as Prince Andrew. Officers
Speaker 1: have now finished searches of wood Farm on the Royal
Speaker 1: Sandringham estate where Mount Baton Winsor moved earlier this month.
Speaker 1: According to Thames Valley Police, his release is not uncommon
Speaker 1: in cases of alleged white collar crime. It doesn't mean
Speaker 1: he's been cleared, nor does it mean he has been
Speaker 1: released on bell, so there are no conditions for his release.
Speaker 1: It merely indicates that police have finished with this round
Speaker 1: of questioning and are continuing the investigation and it's going
Speaker 1: to continue to build. I think they're going to take
Speaker 1: their time here, and I think they're going to make
Speaker 1: sure that everything down to the most minute detail is
Speaker 1: locked in, because when you're dealing with something as high
Speaker 1: profile as this, you have to be on your game.
Speaker 1: So let's see what James Valley Police has in store.
Speaker 1: The former prince being released under investigation would indicate that
Speaker 1: this is going to be a long term process, said
Speaker 1: Dal Baboo, a former Chief superintendent with London's Metropolitan Police.
Speaker 1: It means he's suspected of a crime. He hasn't been
Speaker 1: formally charged and there's no conditions. There's no timeline as
Speaker 1: to how long the investigation will take. He's going to
Speaker 1: be charged. We have the evidence, right, we have the
Speaker 1: evidence of him in the email passing that information on
Speaker 1: and if that exists, who knows what else they have
Speaker 1: or will they'll have access to. Remember, they're going to
Speaker 1: get into those royal servers. It looks like, so who
Speaker 1: the hell knows what Prince Andrew was really up to?
Speaker 1: British authorities moved after the US Justice Department released another
Speaker 1: three and a half million files related to Epstein. Some
Speaker 1: of the documents detailed communication between Epstein and the former
Speaker 1: Prince while he was serving as British trade end and
Speaker 1: that right there is what sings them. If he was
Speaker 1: passing on information in his role as a private citizen,
Speaker 1: it would be different. Right, you're a representative of the state,
Speaker 1: You're a trade endvoy, for God's sakes, and you're passing
Speaker 1: the information on to somebody that's not part of the
Speaker 1: government of the UK, somebody who's a sex offender. Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: After his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office,
Speaker 1: Mount Bountain Windsor was taken to Elsham Police station in
Speaker 1: eastern England. He was released under investigation hours later. Photographs
Speaker 1: slouched in the back of a car, staring into space
Speaker 1: with his hands clasped. Well, yeah, dude's never had any
Speaker 1: kind of repercussions for his bullshit. This is the first
Speaker 1: time I doubt he was ever even punished growing up.
Speaker 1: What you think mommy's little boy ever tasted the belt,
Speaker 1: ever had a good reaming by mummy. This dude was
Speaker 1: raised by the help, and he looks at everybody else
Speaker 1: around him as that the help. He's the prince and
Speaker 1: you're not. Pretty much his whole entire life view. So
Speaker 1: now that that's all shattered and he got arrested and
Speaker 1: he is being driven away from the police station, looks
Speaker 1: like that realization is starting to settle in that you,
Speaker 1: my friend, are no different than the rest of us
Speaker 1: just because you were born into the royal family. And now,
Speaker 1: after much too long it looks like you're going to
Speaker 1: be held accountable at least for some of your bullshit.
Speaker 1: The former Prince Andrew could be brought back in for
Speaker 1: further questioning or re arrested if the police deemed that necessary.
Speaker 1: He could also be asked about other lines of inquiry.
Speaker 1: And this is what I was talking about yesterday. People
Speaker 1: need to understand how these investigations work. You get hemmed
Speaker 1: up on one thing, and before you know it, you're
Speaker 1: getting a full on life colonoscopy and they're digging into everything.
Speaker 1: So Prince Andrew is in serious jeopardy. Mount Baton Windsor
Speaker 1: has previously denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, but
Speaker 1: has made no comment on allegations arising from the recent
Speaker 1: release of Epstein files. Well, yeah, he has no business
Speaker 1: talking about anything. I mean, does anybody really want to
Speaker 1: hear from the Joe exotic of the Windsor family unless
Speaker 1: he's admitting what he's done wrong. After years of scrutiny
Speaker 1: and criticism over his ties with Epstein, his arrest was
Speaker 1: the first of a senior royal since Charles the First,
Speaker 1: who was beheaded for treason in sixteen forty nine. Wow,
Speaker 1: just think about that for a minute, all the scum
Speaker 1: baggery that has occurred in England over the years, and
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew's the one who ends up holding the hot potato. Now,
Speaker 1: if that doesn't tell you the kind of dirt bag
Speaker 1: this dude is, I don't know. What does. His case
Speaker 1: exposed is the complex and often messy relationship between Britain's
Speaker 1: democratically elected government and it's largely ceremonial but still powerful monarchy.
Speaker 1: The King seventy seven was not worn beforehand about his
Speaker 1: brothers emminent arrest, a Palace official told NBC News, but
Speaker 1: the National Police Chiefs Council, Britain's national body that coordinates
Speaker 1: law enforcement, did tell the government, specifically the Home Office,
Speaker 1: thirty minutes beforehand, in line with routine practice. Came's Valley Police,
Speaker 1: which made the arrest, said in a statement, so they
Speaker 1: have to be very very careful that it doesn't appear
Speaker 1: that they're giving Prince Andrew any kind of favorable treatment.
Speaker 1: Right now that this cat's out of the bag, there's
Speaker 1: no going back. He has to be treated like anybody
Speaker 1: else who is being accused of very serious crimes. So
Speaker 1: if routine practice is to call to the office thirty
Speaker 1: minutes beforehand, then cool whatever. As long as he is
Speaker 1: getting treated as everybody else would, that's what matters. No
Speaker 1: special favors, no vial treatment. Ultimately, at some point the
Speaker 1: police and Crown Prosecution Service will have to decide whether
Speaker 1: to charge Mount Baton windsor or not, a decision that
Speaker 1: might take weeks or months. The name of its authority,
Speaker 1: the Crown Prosecution Service or a CPS, indicates just how
Speaker 1: extraordinary the circumstances are. Though the British monarchy has little
Speaker 1: everyday political power, the organs of the state still draw
Speaker 1: their authority from the throne. If the former prince were
Speaker 1: to go to trial, it would be listed as the
Speaker 1: king first, Mount Baton winsor pitting the younger brother against
Speaker 1: the stately powers wilded by his regal elder sibling. Well
Speaker 1: that's unfortunate, but guess what, I don't care. You guys
Speaker 1: should have dealt with Andrew a long time ago. This
Speaker 1: blowback is their own fault. They should have dealt with
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew when this all first popped up, but instead
Speaker 1: they chose to hide it. They chose to off escate,
Speaker 1: and they chose to ignore it and act like a
Speaker 1: new happened, Well, guess what that bills do now? And
Speaker 1: the interest is eye bulging. Even the arrest itself generated
Speaker 1: newspaper headlines and social media trending topics worldwide. The Times,
Speaker 1: Britain's establishment newspaper record played it straight with the arrest
Speaker 1: of Andrew, while The New York Post opted for another extreme.
Speaker 1: The Prince of Darkness. Mount Baton Windsor has faced scrutiny
Speaker 1: and criticism since at least twenty eleven, when Feure erupted
Speaker 1: over his continued friendship with a disgraced financier who had
Speaker 1: recently served thirteen months for procuring a child for prostitution
Speaker 1: and soliciting a prostitute. Procuring a child for prostitution? What
Speaker 1: sort of world do we live in where that can
Speaker 1: even be a sentence? Like for real, for real children
Speaker 1: cannot consent, they cannot be prostitutes. One of the most
Speaker 1: prominent survivors of Epstein's sexual abuse, Virginia Roberts, alleged that
Speaker 1: the financier trafficked her to his powerful friends, including Mount
Speaker 1: Baton Winsor, against whom she filed a lawsuit in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one, alleging that the former prince sexually abused her
Speaker 1: when she was seventeen. Mount Baton Winsor, who has always
Speaker 1: denied meeting with Roberts, reached the legal settlement with her
Speaker 1: for an undisclosed amount in twenty twenty two. It contained
Speaker 1: no admission of liability or apology, not just you know,
Speaker 1: seventeen million dollars. No big deal. I didn't do anything,
Speaker 1: but here's seventeen million. Does that make sense to anybody
Speaker 1: out there? Not to me, it doesn't. He's been among
Speaker 1: the least popular royals since at least twenty nineteen, when
Speaker 1: a disastrous BBC interview brought his Epstein ties to the four.
Speaker 1: That has only deepened. A poll by you gov on
Speaker 1: Friday found eighty two percent of Britons now believed that
Speaker 1: the son of the late Queen Elizabeth I should be
Speaker 1: removed from the line of succession. He's currently eighth in
Speaker 1: line to the British throne. Well, that's certain. He needs
Speaker 1: to be removed from succession like yesterday. Imagine this dude
Speaker 1: taking over the crown, taking over the throne, talk about
Speaker 1: a national emergency. The good news is that's never going
Speaker 1: to happen because he's eighth in line and of course,
Speaker 1: the king's sons have their own sons, their own kids,
Speaker 1: and they supersed Andrew when it comes to succession, So
Speaker 1: I don't really think that's that big of an issue,
Speaker 1: but certainly something that if I was a citizen in
Speaker 1: the UK, i'd want to see addressed at some point.
Speaker 1: But this is just the beginning for Andrew, and this
Speaker 1: is going to be a very long road. Now. If
Speaker 1: it ends up with him going to prison or not,
Speaker 1: I can't say, but this is the first step in
Speaker 1: figuring out what's what. And I think that when all
Speaker 1: is said and done and all of the evidence is presented,
Speaker 1: Joe Exotic of the Windsor family is going to be
Speaker 1: in for a very long and very bumpy ride. All right, folks,
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for this one. All the information
Speaker 1: that goes with this episode can be found in the
Speaker 1: description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode
Speaker 1: of the Epstein Chronicles. Whenever you're dealing with high profile
Speaker 1: people who are rich and powerful, who are under suspicion
Speaker 1: of committing crimes, you're dealing with a different sort of
Speaker 1: animal than a usual investigation. The rules on paper might
Speaker 1: look the same, but the battlefield is not the same.
Speaker 1: Wealth buys time, and time destroys cases. Power buys insulation,
Speaker 1: and insulation suffocates witnesses. Status buys credibility that has not
Speaker 1: been earned, and that credibility is used like a weapon.
Speaker 1: The subject rarely fights the facts. They fight the process itself.
Speaker 1: They fight jurisdiction, they fight discovery, they fight public attention,
Speaker 1: and they fight institutional will. They also fight by turning
Speaker 1: the investigation into a referendum on the investigators. And that's
Speaker 1: why you can't approach these cases like routine policing, because
Speaker 1: in elite cases, the obstacle is not merely proof, it's
Speaker 1: access to proof. And because of those circumstances, you have
Speaker 1: to come at it in creative ways. Creative doesn't mean reckless,
Speaker 1: and it does not mean political. Creative means strategic, disciplined,
Speaker 1: and relentlessly lawful. It means selecting investigative avenues that produce
Speaker 1: hard evidence instead of endless debate. It means using charges
Speaker 1: that open doors to records, devices, communications, travel, and money.
Speaker 1: It also means building from what is provable today into
Speaker 1: what becomes provable tomorrow. It means understanding that the subject's
Speaker 1: strongest shield is ambiguity. It means collapsing is ambiguity into timelines, documents,
Speaker 1: and corroborated witness accounts. It means anticipating that the subject
Speaker 1: will try to delay until the world stops caring. And
Speaker 1: it means moving fast enough that the facts outrun the spin.
Speaker 1: And that, of course, brings us to Prince Andrew and
Speaker 1: his arrest today for allegedly passing classified information to Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1: The significance is larger than a headline. We're not talking
Speaker 1: about celebrity gossip dressed up as law enforcement. This is
Speaker 1: the machinery of state taking a scalpel to alleged misuse
Speaker 1: of office. Even if some people insist on calling it procedural,
Speaker 1: that label is a sedative, not analysis. The arrest is
Speaker 1: a legal pivot that forces the case in the formal lanes.
Speaker 1: And formal lanes, as discussed before, create timetables, compel disclosures,
Speaker 1: and raise the cost of falsehood's. Formal lanes also unlock
Speaker 1: investigative tools that don't exist when everyone is just looking
Speaker 1: into it. The core point is simple. A custody event
Speaker 1: changes the posture of everyone involved. When that custody event
Speaker 1: is tied to Epstein. The posture changes dramatically, and of
Speaker 1: course it can lead to deeper investigation into the allegations
Speaker 1: against them that were made by Virginia. That's not speculation, folks,
Speaker 1: That's how serious investigations operate. When new evidence channels open
Speaker 1: when a subject is under investigation for one set of conduct,
Speaker 1: investigators lawfully follow where the evidence leads. They reassess earlier
Speaker 1: allegations through the lens of new records, new devices, and
Speaker 1: new witnesses. They test old timelines against newly obtained data.
Speaker 1: They scrutinize statements for contradictions that were previously academic but
Speaker 1: are now evidentiary. They locate and reinterview peripheral witnesses who
Speaker 1: were never protected by fame. They examine the network around
Speaker 1: the subject, not just the subject. They evaluate patterns of access, facilitation,
Speaker 1: and concealment, and they build a case architecture that can
Speaker 1: support additional charges if justified. And I know that people
Speaker 1: are saying that Prince Andrew being arrested on these charges
Speaker 1: seems procedural, and that's the tell. Procedural is what gets
Speaker 1: said when someone wants to make the public emotionally stand down.
Speaker 1: Procedural is what gets said when someone wants to treat
Speaker 1: e lead exposure as nothing more than an administrative inconvenience.
Speaker 1: But the truth is they are not procedural in the
Speaker 1: way people mean it. Procedure is the mechanism by which
Speaker 1: truth is extracted, preserved, and tested. Procedure is how you
Speaker 1: stop private power from rewriting public reality, and procedure is
Speaker 1: how you impose consequences on lies intimidation and evidence destruction.
Speaker 1: Procedure is also how you take a subject out of
Speaker 1: his comfort zone of pr and place them into the
Speaker 1: discipline of court oversight. Procedure is how you turn allegations
Speaker 1: into admissible proof. And procedure is exactly what powerful people
Speaker 1: spend fortunes trying to avoid. For just these allegations of
Speaker 1: him passing Epstein classified information, he's facing a possible life sentence. Now.
Speaker 1: That might shock people because they assume elite misconduct is
Speaker 1: always treated like a slap on the wrist. It's not always,
Speaker 1: and the law is not designed to exempt royalty from gravity.
Speaker 1: The potential penalty signals the alleged abuse is viewed as
Speaker 1: a serious violation of public trust. It also signals that
Speaker 1: the state can frame the conduct as more than just
Speaker 1: an embarrassment. Whether the ultimate outcome is a conviction or not,
Speaker 1: the seriousness of the exposure is the point for investigative strategy.
Speaker 1: Serious exposure changes incentives inside the subject circle. Serious exposure
Speaker 1: makes intermediaries rethink loyalty. Serious exposure makes I don't recall
Speaker 1: less comfortable, and serious exposure makes cooperation a rational choice
Speaker 1: for people who fear being left hold in the bag.
Speaker 1: Because there's no doubt that this expands the scope into
Speaker 1: other possible crimes. And that's the part the public routinely misses.
Speaker 1: Scope expansion is not a conspiracy, folks, it's a consequence
Speaker 1: of evidence. Once you have lawful grounds to seize records,
Speaker 1: you don't unsee what those records contained. Once you have
Speaker 1: custody leverage, you don't pretend that leverage doesn't exist. And
Speaker 1: once you have a subject under the microscope, you don't
Speaker 1: politely ignore what the microscope reveals. You follow the trail
Speaker 1: through communications, calendars, travel, money, and facilitation. You identify who scheduled,
Speaker 1: who introduced, who transported, who paid, and who cleaned up.
Speaker 1: You test whether the conduct was isolated or patterned. You
Speaker 1: test whether the subject's story is consistent across time and
Speaker 1: across documents, and if it is not consistent, inconsistency becomes
Speaker 1: evidence of consciousness of guilt. And that's why it should
Speaker 1: be the blueprint for dealing with Epstein's associates here in
Speaker 1: America as well. And look, the blueprint isn't a slogan
Speaker 1: that shit's a method. It starts with abandoning the fantasy
Speaker 1: that one perfect case will fall from the sky fully formed.
Speaker 1: It starts with charging what can be proven beyond the
Speaker 1: reasonable doubt, not what sounds the most satisfying on a microphone.
Speaker 1: It starts with building from anchors, records, devices, financial trails,
Speaker 1: travel manifests, authenticated communication, even corroborated witness testimony. It starts
Speaker 1: with locking in statements early so lies can be measured.
Speaker 1: It starts with preventing delay from beco the defense strategy.
Speaker 1: It starts with treating facilitators as central because enterprises run
Speaker 1: on facilitation. And it starts with refusing to let prestige
Speaker 1: veto enforcement. When I say investigate them all, I'm not
Speaker 1: calling for chaos. I'm calling for consistency. Investigate them all
Speaker 1: means apply the same evidentiary rigor to every name, including
Speaker 1: the names that everybody is afraid to touch. It means
Speaker 1: follow the access, even when the access is wrapped in philanthropy, academia,
Speaker 1: or politics. It means follow the logistics, even when the
Speaker 1: logistics are disguised as networking and mentorship. It means review
Speaker 1: the gatekeepers, assistance, fixers, and advisors who made Epstein's world functional.
Speaker 1: It means treating the orbit as a potential operational layer
Speaker 1: until evidence proves otherwise. It means not confusing social proximity
Speaker 1: with innocence. It means not confusing reputation with alibi, and
Speaker 1: it means not letting the loudest defenders control the investigative agenda.
Speaker 1: If any crimes have been committed and they are a
Speaker 1: provable and backed up by the evidence, make an arrest.
Speaker 1: That's the hinge point where accountability becomes real. Arrest is
Speaker 1: in vengeance, and it's not theater. It's a legal mechanism.
Speaker 1: It triggers formal safeguards and formal obligations. It also triggers
Speaker 1: formal consequences for interference. It takes the case out of
Speaker 1: the realm of discourse and puts it into the system
Speaker 1: with rules and penalties. It forces the subject to choose
Speaker 1: between silence, denial, partial admission, and cooperation. It forces counsel
Speaker 1: to respond to facts rather than rumors. It forces institutions
Speaker 1: around the subject to decide whether they will obstruct or comply.
Speaker 1: It forces witnesses to reassess whether coming forward might finally
Speaker 1: matter end. It forces the public to confront that the
Speaker 1: powerful can in fact be treated like suspects. And once
Speaker 1: you have them in custody and under the microscope, expands
Speaker 1: your scope. That's not a dirty tactic, it's the correct
Speaker 1: tactic in enterprise adjacent cases. Enterprise cases are rarely solved
Speaker 1: by staring at the headline allegation alone. They're solved by
Speaker 1: mapping the ecosystem around the allegation. Custody gives lawful opportunity
Speaker 1: to search, preserve, and compare. Microscopy reveals the same small
Speaker 1: details that prove the big picture. The small details are
Speaker 1: often the most damning because they are the hardest to
Speaker 1: explain away. Who called whom, who forwarded what, who scheduled what,
Speaker 1: who paid what, who deleted what? And who lied about
Speaker 1: it later on. Expansion also allows investigators to connect separate
Speaker 1: allegations into coherent pattern when the evidence supports it, and
Speaker 1: patterns once documented or where a reasonable doubt starts to die. Now,
Speaker 1: the reason that this method works is that elite misconduct
Speaker 1: depends on compartmentalization. Compartmentalization means everyone knows a piece and
Speaker 1: nobody admits to knowing the whole. And Epstein's world thrived
Speaker 1: on compartmentalization because it protects everyone and breaking. It requires
Speaker 1: corroboration across sources that don't rely on any single witness.
Speaker 1: It requires records that align with testimony. It requires testimony
Speaker 1: that aligns with timelines. It requires timelines that align with
Speaker 1: digital footprints. It requires digital footprints that align with money
Speaker 1: and movement. It requires building the case like an engineer,
Speaker 1: not like a commentator. And it requires accepting that the
Speaker 1: first charge is often the pride bar, not the final indictment.
Speaker 1: In high profile cases, the subjec X first defense is
Speaker 1: not innocence, its narrative control. Narrative control is attempted through
Speaker 1: sympathetic framing, selective leaks, and surrogate amplification. Now, the subject
Speaker 1: circle is going to push the idea that investigators are
Speaker 1: over eager, biased, or confused. They turn the procedural steps
Speaker 1: into witch hunts and evidence into misunderstandings. They flood the
Speaker 1: zone with distractions so the public forgets the central fact pattern.
Speaker 1: They attempt to shame institutions into stepping back. They attempt
Speaker 1: to exhaust victims and witnesses with endless noise. They also
Speaker 1: attempt to make accountability feel impolite. And that's why investigators
Speaker 1: must stay anchored to proof and sequence, because proof beats
Speaker 1: narrative when proof is obtained early and preserved properly. Sequence
Speaker 1: beats narrative when sequence keeps the case moving, and movement
Speaker 1: is the enemy of spin. This is also why so
Speaker 1: many people misread the seriousness of official misconduct style allegations.
Speaker 1: They imagine paperwork and protocol, not betrayal of public office.
Speaker 1: But betrayal of public office is exactly what corrodes the
Speaker 1: systems legitimacy. It's also the kind of crime that often
Speaker 1: leaves documentation, which is why it can be such a
Speaker 1: powerful gateway. Documentation doesn't get intimidated, and it does not forget.
Speaker 1: Documentation can be authenticated, time stamped, and compared across sources.
Speaker 1: Documentation can expose who knew what and when. Documentation can
Speaker 1: expose whether the subject's public story is manufactured. Documentation can
Speaker 1: expose whether intermediaries acted as conduits, and in Epstein link matters,
Speaker 1: concealment is not incidental, it's the whole operating system, with
Speaker 1: the allegation being that sensitive material was passed to Epstein.
Speaker 1: Investigators must treat the why as a central question. Why
Speaker 1: would a public figure share confidential information with somebody like Epstein?
Speaker 1: Was it a favor, a transaction, a vanity play, a
Speaker 1: compromised dynamic, or something that created leverage? Did Epstein request
Speaker 1: it directly or through intermediaries? Did the subject volunteer it
Speaker 1: to impress ingratiate, or curry favor. Did the subject receive
Speaker 1: anything in return, even indirectly. Did the information yet used
Speaker 1: to facilitate introductions, travel, or influence? Did information get stored, transmitted,
Speaker 1: or weaponized? These questions are not moral questions. They are
Speaker 1: evidentary questions and ebidentary questions or how you climb from
Speaker 1: one allegation to a broader understanding of the whole network
Speaker 1: and when you connect this to the Virginia allegations. The
Speaker 1: investigative logic is straightforward. You test the older claims with
Speaker 1: newly available records and newly compelled disclosure. You recheck timelines
Speaker 1: that were previously debated in public with data that can
Speaker 1: be litigated in court. You assess whether the subject's conduct
Speaker 1: shows a pattern of association, concealment, and facilitation. You identify
Speaker 1: whether the subjects circle engaged in intimidation, coordination, or evidence suppression.
Speaker 1: You look for repeated venues, repeated facilitators, and repeated methods.
Speaker 1: You check whether public denials were crafted to evade specific
Speaker 1: provable facts. You check whether the subject avoided cooperation historically
Speaker 1: and why. You check whether the subject's allies acted as shields.
Speaker 1: And you never treat a civil settlement as a substitute
Speaker 1: for factual inquiry because the purpose of a criminal process
Speaker 1: is different. And this is where the American Blueprint must
Speaker 1: be brutally honest about institutional weakness. Epstein's enterprise was not
Speaker 1: merely a criminal scheme. It was a stress test of
Speaker 1: the justice system, and the system failed repeatedly, and failure
Speaker 1: created permission. Permission created repetition, and repetition created scale. Scale
Speaker 1: created fear, and fear created silence. Silence created myth, and
Speaker 1: myth created protection, and protection created delay and delay created
Speaker 1: a decay of accountability. And that's the cycle that investigators
Speaker 1: have to break and Breaking it requires cases that are
Speaker 1: built on hard anchors. Breaking it requires refusing to treat
Speaker 1: elite targets as too complicated. Breaking it requires recognizing that
Speaker 1: complexity is often manufactured, and breaking it requires sustained effort,
Speaker 1: even when the headlines move on. If you want a
Speaker 1: blueprint that works in America against Epstein's associates, you must
Speaker 1: remove the culture allergy to arresting important people. Importance is
Speaker 1: not a legal category. Wealth is not an exemption, and
Speaker 1: fame is not an alibi. Connections are not a defense,
Speaker 1: and the only thing that matters are elements of offenses
Speaker 1: and admissible proof. When elements are met and proof exists,
Speaker 1: the system must act. When it does not act, it
Speaker 1: teaches the next predator and the next enabler that the
Speaker 1: ceiling is fake. And that's how enterprises regenerate. That's how
Speaker 1: recruitment pipelines survive. That's how victims get told silently that
Speaker 1: power beats the truth. A functioning justice system can allow
Speaker 1: that message to stand. So yeah, use the Andrew model
Speaker 1: as a blueprint. Identify a provable offense tied to the
Speaker 1: abuse of access. Build the case around records that cannot
Speaker 1: be talked out of existence. Make the arrest when probable
Speaker 1: cause is there and evidence supports it. Put the sub
Speaker 1: rejecting custody and under the microscope, so lying becomes risky
Speaker 1: and cooperation becomes rational. Expand the scope only when evidence
Speaker 1: warrants expansion, and document every step so the process survives scrutiny.
Speaker 1: Reassess older allegations using newly compelled data, not public arguments.
Speaker 1: Follow facilitators, not just celebrities, because facilitators are how the
Speaker 1: machine runs, and keep the method consistent across names and parties,
Speaker 1: because selective enforcement is just another form of cover. The
Speaker 1: public must not being trained to accept procedural as a
Speaker 1: synonym for meaningless. Procedure is how the powerful get caught
Speaker 1: when power is their primary weapon. Procedure is how you
Speaker 1: force records into the light. Procedure is how you turn
Speaker 1: denials into perjury risk. Procedure is how you turn connections
Speaker 1: into conspiracy evidence when coordination exists. Procedure is how you
Speaker 1: protect witnesses and punish intimidation. Procedure is how you compel
Speaker 1: a truthful narrative when pr is lying and in Epstein
Speaker 1: adjacent matters. Procedure is the only language that the network
Speaker 1: cannot fully manipulate. That's why today matters, and that's why
Speaker 1: this blueprint must be applied relentlessly to every single EPSTEIN
Speaker 1: case that emerges. And if that blueprint is applied consistently,
Speaker 1: without fear and without favoritism, something else happens that is
Speaker 1: even more important than any single conviction. The culture shifts,
Speaker 1: The myth of untouchability begins to erode, and with it
Speaker 1: the quiet calculation that power can outlast scrutiny. Future enablers
Speaker 1: think twice before forwarding the email, arranging the meeting, or
Speaker 1: smoothing over the red flag. Institutions start prioritizing compliance over
Speaker 1: access because they understand that proximity to influence is no
Speaker 1: longer a shield. Witnesses who once felt isolated begin to
Speaker 1: see a path where testimony is not swallowed by inertia.
Speaker 1: Prosecutors learn that careful sequencing and disciplined expansion can penetrate
Speaker 1: even the most insulated networks, and the public, long conditioned
Speaker 1: to expect disappointment, begins to recalibrate its expectations upward. That's
Speaker 1: the ultimate objective of this approach, not spectacle, not vengeance,
Speaker 1: but a durable demonstration that law is not ornamental when
Speaker 1: it confronts wealth, status and proximity to power. All of
Speaker 1: the information that goes with this episode can be found
