1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,280
Epstein Chronicles. Now picture this if you will, folks, a

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,720
convicted sex offender strolling into his science office every morning

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,960
like he's running NASA. Except the only thing this guy

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:20,120
ever launched was another scam. Jeffrey Freakin Epstein supposedly serving time,

6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,359
supposedly under probation, and what does Florida let him do

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,199
open up a science foundation right next door to his

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,719
lawyer's office. It's hard to even say that with a

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,520
straight face. It's like letting a bank robber run the

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,399
vault as long as he promises to wear a name tag.

11
00:00:36,799 --> 00:00:39,479
This man turned his probation into a part time job

12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,280
in deceit, and the state of Florida just nodded along.

13
00:00:42,799 --> 00:00:46,880
Seems legit. I mean, you'd think that somebody, anybody would

14
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,000
have said, hold up, this feels off, but nope, Instead

15
00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:53,079
they treated him like some misunderstood genius on a mission

16
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:55,799
to save humanity instead of the predator that he was.

17
00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:59,479
He wasn't researching quantum physics. He was researching how to

18
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,439
keep the griff. And the best part, the office didn't

19
00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:07,359
do a damn thing. No employees, no grants, no discoveries,

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,120
no purpose, unless, of course, you count being upfront for

21
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,280
his movements and his ego. The whole thing was a

22
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,239
glorified permission slip stamped by the very system that was

23
00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:21,519
supposed to be watching them. Now we're supposed to believe

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,799
it was all just a coincidence. The Science Foundation was

25
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,359
a cover story, soapaper thin. It should have come with

26
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,719
a Florida State seal. He was out here playing scientists,

27
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,040
playing philanthropist, playing the whole damned system like a fiddle,

28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,879
while the survivors watch the same people who are meant

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,120
to protect them sign off on his field trips. It's disgusting,

30
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:45,120
it's infuriating, and it's exactly what happens when money becomes

31
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,000
the cure all for a morality. Because make no mistake,

32
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,840
this was not an accident. It wasn't some bureaucratic mix up.

33
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:55,319
It was corruption in khakis, smiling for the cameras, pretending

34
00:01:55,319 --> 00:01:58,840
it was rehabilitation. The same justice system that throws kids

35
00:01:58,879 --> 00:02:01,680
in jail for skipping probabation meetings let Epstein run a

36
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,239
fake lab next to his lawyer's office, and nobody, not

37
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:08,919
the judge, not probation, not the state attorney lifted a finger.

38
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:12,639
They all just pretended this was fine, Like the rules

39
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,039
don't apply if your bank account comes with a few

40
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,000
zeros and a vault full of dossiers, full of names

41
00:02:18,159 --> 00:02:22,120
that scare politicians. So yeah, before Congress pats itself on

42
00:02:22,159 --> 00:02:24,919
the back for looking into Epstein again, maybe they should

43
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,199
start there, you know, with the Florida officials who greenlit

44
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,400
a con man's science foundation. Maybe they should ask why

45
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,719
a predator was allowed to play scientists while his survivors

46
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,039
were trying to piece their lives back together. Because until

47
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,879
someone answers that, the rest of this show is just noise,

48
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,400
the fix wasn't just in. It was built right into

49
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,479
the foundation, literally, And that's why, if we're being real,

50
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,439
the whole Jeffrey Epstein Science Foundation thing was never about science.

51
00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:55,439
It was about bullshitting the state of Florida into thinking

52
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,680
he was some noble intellectual instead of a sex offending

53
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,800
dirtbag with friends and I play, you know, the type,

54
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,280
rich guy in a bad suit who talks about curing

55
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,400
cancer when he's really curing his own boredom. And the

56
00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:10,800
kicker his foundation just happened to be right next door

57
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,400
to his lawyer Jack Goldberger's office. Real subtle, because when

58
00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:18,439
I think rehabilitation, I think, let's set up a research

59
00:03:18,479 --> 00:03:20,919
foundation next door to the guy defending me in court.

60
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,719
The whole thing stank worse than weak old shrimp left

61
00:03:24,759 --> 00:03:28,879
in the Florida Sun. Epstein was supposedly serving time, right,

62
00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:32,360
except his version of probation looked more like a networking retreat.

63
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,199
He'd stroll in and out of that so called science

64
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:40,199
office like he was Einstein reincarnated. Only difference is Einstein

65
00:03:40,479 --> 00:03:44,159
actually did something with his brain. Epstein's greatest discovery was

66
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:46,840
figuring out how far he could stretch the law before

67
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:50,800
it snapped, and surprise, surprise, it never did, because the

68
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,719
people who were supposed to enforce it bend over backwards

69
00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:56,960
to accommodate him. He was under watch, sure, but it

70
00:03:57,039 --> 00:03:58,800
must have been the kind of watch you buy at

71
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,039
a gas station for five buzz, because it clearly didn't work.

72
00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:06,879
The Science Foundation itself was about as scientific as a

73
00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:11,319
magic gate ball. No research, no staff, no labs, just

74
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,280
a fancy sign on the door and an excuse to say, see,

75
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:17,879
I'm working, and the state bought it. The probation officers

76
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:21,680
nodded along like bobbleheads signing paperwork while this creep came

77
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,879
and went like he owned the courthouse. Meanwhile, survivors, hey

78
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,199
remember them? They were left wondering how the hell the

79
00:04:29,399 --> 00:04:32,720
justice system could be so stupid or so corrupt? Take

80
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:36,399
your pick. Either one fits and right next door to

81
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,920
Jack Goldberger, huh, you got a hand to Epstein? The

82
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,560
guy had guts. Who else sets up shop right next

83
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,040
to their lawyer and calls it a foundation Bro's like

84
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,600
Robin the Bank then running the apartment above it. Every

85
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,680
inch of that set up screamed inside job, but nobody blinked,

86
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,000
not the judge, not probation, not even the press. Everyone

87
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,439
acted like it was normal for a convicted sex offender

88
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,519
to have cushy work release gig in an offen that

89
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,120
didn't even do any work. Barry Krisher's office should have

90
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,399
been the first to blow the whistle, but instead they

91
00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:09,399
handed him a megaphone. They knew damn well what was

92
00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:13,079
going on, and they didn't care. Epstein wasn't some first

93
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,439
defender trying to turn his life around. He was a

94
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,959
predator who never stopped hunting, and Florida handed him the camouflage.

95
00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:23,160
They said, sure, jeff you can run your little science thing,

96
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,199
just make sure you check in once in a while.

97
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,959
And he did, right before heading back to do whatever

98
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,199
he wanted. Real tight supervision there, boys, And you know

99
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,839
what makes the blood boil, the sheer arrogance of it all.

100
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,600
None of this shit was subtle. It wasn't buried. The

101
00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:43,360
man had an entire fake foundation operating under the state's nose.

102
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,319
People saw it, knew it, and shrugged. You'd think after

103
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,680
the scandal broke, someone, anyone would step forward and say, yeah,

104
00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:54,519
we messed up, But no, everyone suddenly struck with selective

105
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,920
memory loss. Who approved that address? I don't recall who

106
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,199
checked on him. I'd have to review the foot while

107
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,800
they all sound like they've been coached by the same

108
00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:06,639
PR firm. And let's not pretend the foundation fooled anyone.

109
00:06:06,879 --> 00:06:09,480
It was just a glorified permission slip, a get out

110
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,879
of jail. Whenever Card dressed up in a charity talk.

111
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,639
Epstein knew the system was built to protect guys like him.

112
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,000
He'd flash a few checks to the right people, mumble

113
00:06:19,079 --> 00:06:23,079
something about science and education, and boom, probation signed off.

114
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,720
He could have called it the Jeffrey Epstein Dolphin smiles initiative,

115
00:06:27,079 --> 00:06:29,279
and they'd have still had let them waltz out the door,

116
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,519
because when you're rich enough, everything's a nonprofit. Now. Look,

117
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,199
if a regular guy tried that, say, opened a construction

118
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,000
charity while on probation and just used it to hang

119
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,839
out with his buddies, he'd be back behind bars before

120
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,240
he finished his coffee. But Epstein, he got treated like

121
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,319
a misunderstood genius. He's contributing to the community, they said,

122
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,000
if you mean by community the pombach elite. The guy

123
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,199
couldn't spell redemption if you spotted him the first date letters.

124
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:01,720
And at this point, if you don't laugh, you're gonna

125
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,079
cry at how they dressed it up. They called it

126
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,160
a philanthropic initiative to promote science. What science the science

127
00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:11,319
of probation loopholes, the science of pretending to serve time

128
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,720
while living like a king. The only experiments happening there

129
00:07:14,959 --> 00:07:17,759
involved seeing how far the Florida justice system could bend

130
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,759
before it broke. Spoiler alert, That shit snapped clean in half,

131
00:07:22,439 --> 00:07:25,120
and that office next to Goldberger's. We all know it

132
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,519
wasn't an accident. It was a tactical move. Epstein knew

133
00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:32,000
that proximity meant protection. If anyone ever dropped by to

134
00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:34,800
check on him, his lawyer was right there to run interference.

135
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,519
It was like having a built in firewall between his

136
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:40,680
lives and the law. Look, I'm not saying Coldberger was

137
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,839
in on it, but come on, the guy had to

138
00:07:42,839 --> 00:07:45,759
know what was happening next door. The smell of hypocrisy

139
00:07:45,879 --> 00:07:50,000
must have wafted through the drywall the probation officers. Meanwhile,

140
00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:52,480
we're out here playing see no evil here, no evil.

141
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,560
They'd show up, take a few boxes, maybe ask a

142
00:07:55,639 --> 00:07:58,920
question or two, and leave as long as Epstein looked

143
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,319
like he was doing something a fish. Nobody wanted to

144
00:08:01,399 --> 00:08:04,480
rock the boat because rocking the boat in Florida apparently

145
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,800
means you stop getting invited to fundraisers. And we can't

146
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,800
have that now, can we. And the optics, boy, let's

147
00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:15,000
talk about the optics. A convicted pedophile claiming to run

148
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,759
a science foundation. It's like putting a fox in charge

149
00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:22,160
of a henhouse and calling it poultry management. The sheer

150
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,199
audacity of it should have made headlines daily, but instead

151
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:29,560
the media yawned. They called them a financier with scientific interests. Yeah,

152
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,519
and I'm a rocket scientist because I once fixed a toaster.

153
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,600
The bigger picture here is what it says about power.

154
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,320
Epstein didn't have superpowers. He had leverage, the kind of

155
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,080
leverage that made cops, lawyers, and politicians suddenly forget how

156
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,120
to do their jobs, the kind of leverage that made

157
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,879
probation look more like a business arrangement. The Science Foundation

158
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,279
was just a mask, one of many he wore to

159
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,399
keep the machine running, and now years later, we're still

160
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,679
wondering who was behind the curtain. Soone signed off that foundation,

161
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,799
so one approved those work hours, soone decided it was

162
00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:06,320
perfectly fine for him to keep mingling with the same

163
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:08,919
crowd that helped them offend in the first place. And

164
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,600
guess what, none of them have been held accountable. They're

165
00:09:12,639 --> 00:09:16,240
probably all retired somewhere sipping Margarita's, pretended they didn't play

166
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,840
a part and enabling one of the worst predators of

167
00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:22,799
our time. Meanwhile, Congress has the nerve to hold hearings

168
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:26,000
about Epstein while letting the Clinton skip their depositions to

169
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,320
go raise money for a friend's campaign. You could make

170
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,360
a bigger mockery of justice if you tried the same

171
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,720
people who claimed to be fighting corruption. Are out here

172
00:09:34,759 --> 00:09:39,679
protecting the very network that made Epstein untouchable. The whole case,

173
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,200
the science foundation, the probation force, the state's complicity. It's

174
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,639
all one big reminder that the system isn't broken. It's

175
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,480
working exactly as designed. It's built to protect the wealthy

176
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,360
and grind the rest of us into dust. Epstein just

177
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,759
happened to be the one arrogant enough to flaunt it

178
00:09:56,799 --> 00:09:59,600
in public, and even then it took years for anyone

179
00:09:59,639 --> 00:10:03,279
to care. Look, the thing is, the survivors have never

180
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,159
got a break. While Epstein was working next to his lawyer,

181
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,240
they were trying to rebuild their lives. Oh, they were

182
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:12,039
told justice was being served, that he was being watched,

183
00:10:12,639 --> 00:10:15,960
that the system was keeping tabs. But all along it

184
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,759
was just theater. The only thing being watched was the

185
00:10:18,759 --> 00:10:21,960
clock ticking down until everyone could pretend it never happened.

186
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,960
And the Florida officials, well, they're still out here acting

187
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:29,559
like it was all above board. We followed procedure. They say, oh,

188
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,759
I bet you did just the wrong damp procedure, the

189
00:10:32,759 --> 00:10:35,480
one that billionaires write their own rules with and everyone

190
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,159
else plays along. If there was any real oversight, half

191
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,720
those people would have lost their jobs. The second Epstein

192
00:10:41,759 --> 00:10:45,879
Sham Foundation opened its doors. So yeah, the fix was

193
00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:49,000
in from the very start. I mean it. The Science

194
00:10:49,039 --> 00:10:51,799
Foundation wasn't just some side note. It was exhibit A

195
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,679
in the case against our soul called justice system. It

196
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,759
proved that if you've got enough money, you can turn

197
00:10:57,759 --> 00:11:00,519
punishment into performance art. And look, at the end of

198
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,000
the day, that's the real science experiment Jeffrey Epstein conducted,

199
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,720
not in biology, not in physics, but in corruption. He

200
00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:11,120
tested the limits of privilege, and the results are conclusive.

201
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,519
The law does not apply equally. And as long as

202
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,200
the people who made that possible keep dodging accountability, nothing's

203
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,879
ever going to change. Same script, same actors, same ending.

204
00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:27,159
The only thing that evolves is the excuse. All of

205
