00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.439
<v Speaker 1>What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the

2
00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:08.839
<v Speaker 1>Epstein Chronicles. For the past couple of years, Marshall Blackburn

3
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>has talked a big game when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein,

4
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:19.079
<v Speaker 1>talking about how she wants transparency, talking about financial records,

5
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:23.039
<v Speaker 1>talking about getting information from the irs, and look, all

6
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>of that would be great if she was willing to

7
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.559
<v Speaker 1>follow through with any of it. But one thing that

8
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>we have learned over the past year is that people

9
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:36.359
<v Speaker 1>like Senator Blackburn are not serious when it comes to

10
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:41.119
<v Speaker 1>transparency and justice in the realm of Epstein. And Miss

11
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Blackburn and many of her associates had a lot to

12
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:47.159
<v Speaker 1>say about Epstein previously, but now all of a sudden,

13
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.479
<v Speaker 1>Oh it's a big hoax. Oh well, I don't mean

14
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.320
<v Speaker 1>those records, just the other ones, just from the people

15
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't like. And that's what it comes down to.

16
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Marshall Blackburn was interested in the story and interested in

17
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.240
<v Speaker 1>promoting transparency in truth when she thought there would Pino

18
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.519
<v Speaker 1>slap back on her faves. But now that there is,

19
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>it's a different conversation, right, and everybody should just, you know,

20
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 1>move on. Today's article is from the Nashville Banter and

21
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.359
<v Speaker 1>the headline Senator accuses Blackburn of declining to support subpoenas

22
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:24.439
<v Speaker 1>over epstein financials. This article was authored by Sarah Grace Taylor.

23
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.239
<v Speaker 1>A new report by Senate Democrats claims that Senator Marshall

24
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.879
<v Speaker 1>Blackburn refused to help subpoena financial records related to Jeffrey Epstein.

25
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I wonder why. I wonder who passed word down from

26
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 1>a pie, because we all know the administration wants nothing

27
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>to do with transparency either. And remember Blackburn had a

28
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.319
<v Speaker 1>chance to stop Todd Blanche from becoming the Attorney General,

29
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:54.439
<v Speaker 1>and she sure had no problem signing off on that. Huh.

30
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:57.799
<v Speaker 1>The report by Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, released last week,

31
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>suggested that major banks including j AP, Morgan Chase, Bank

32
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>of America, and Deutsche Bank failed to report concerns about

33
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.879
<v Speaker 1>Epstein's financial transactions from as far back as two thousand

34
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:13.159
<v Speaker 1>and two until after the millionaire financier Pedophile was arrested

35
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:17.439
<v Speaker 1>on sex trafficking charges in twenty nineteen. Well, we know

36
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>that for sure. And if you're looking for a boogeyman,

37
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>as I've told you from the very beginning, just take

38
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:28.360
<v Speaker 1>a look at the financial sector. It's littered with evil people.

39
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:31.479
<v Speaker 1>And I truly mean that, and I don't mean evil

40
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>in the sense that you hear online, right, Oh, this

41
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>person's a demon. I mean truly evil, someone that doesn't

42
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>give a goddamn about anything but their own wealth and

43
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>their own power. And that's the whole entire financial sector.

44
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.479
<v Speaker 1>And I think that Jeffrey Epstein was just a window

45
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>into their overall conduct. What do you think Epstein's the

46
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:56.360
<v Speaker 1>only scumbag that these people are in bed with. I

47
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.639
<v Speaker 1>said from the start, if you want to get to

48
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the bottom of Jeffrey Epstein's cover up, you have to

49
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.520
<v Speaker 1>follow the money, Widen said in a statement accompanying the report.

50
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>And I have that report too, and now that we're

51
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.039
<v Speaker 1>done with the new Mexico report, we're going to dive

52
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.280
<v Speaker 1>into that because it's important. And while I certainly have

53
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:17.879
<v Speaker 1>my doubts about mister Widen and his motivations, he's not

54
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>wrong when he says we have to follow the money,

55
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:22.159
<v Speaker 1>and if you want to get to the bottom of

56
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>all of this, that's what you do. Follow that money,

57
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 1>and eventually you're gonna hit pay dirt if you do

58
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.919
<v Speaker 1>a real investigation and you really follow through and use

59
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 1>all the tools available to the federal government. You're going

60
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:40.199
<v Speaker 1>to find what you're looking for. This report's already made

61
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:44.000
<v Speaker 1>roadmap for prosecutors, investigators, and members of Congress to finally

62
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:49.639
<v Speaker 1>start holding the Epstein class accountable, he continued. In the report, Blackburn,

63
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee's senior senator and the Republican nominee for governor, is

64
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>accused of ignoring efforts by Senate Democrats to subpoena the banks,

65
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>despite our public calls for transparency in the Epstein case

66
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>and punitive justice for sex offenders. All part of the hustle.

67
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:08.879
<v Speaker 1>It was all fun in games when it wouldn't blow

68
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>back on our friends, But now that it's blowing back

69
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.199
<v Speaker 1>on our friends and donors and donors of the president

70
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:18.600
<v Speaker 1>and the president's friends, it's a big problem. And now

71
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>it's just a Democrat hoax, right, which is hilarious because

72
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:25.759
<v Speaker 1>for years this was a creation of the right wing.

73
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.600
<v Speaker 1>So whoever it's damaging politically, that side wants to call

74
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.199
<v Speaker 1>it a hoax. And if you're wondering why I give

75
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:35.959
<v Speaker 1>double middle fingers to both sides of the aisle, this

76
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 1>is it. There's not one single person in Congress or

77
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:43.639
<v Speaker 1>the Senate that represents me. Okay. Now, if you feel differently,

78
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:49.160
<v Speaker 1>that's totally fine. But me personally, I'm not represented by

79
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 1>any of these people. Widen, a ranking member and former

80
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.079
<v Speaker 1>chair of the Senate Finance Committee, says he repeatedly went

81
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.879
<v Speaker 1>to blackburn staff from twenty twenty four to twenty to

82
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.759
<v Speaker 1>ask for her help as a Republican committee member to

83
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:07.879
<v Speaker 1>subpoena Epstein bank records, as Blackburn had long been an

84
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>outspoken proponent of increased transparency with relation to Jeffrey Epstein,

85
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:16.160
<v Speaker 1>but her office declined, Well, I wonder why. I wonder

86
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>why she declined. Did somebody reach out to her from

87
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:24.079
<v Speaker 1>the administration. Did somebody say to or look, don't do this.

88
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.360
<v Speaker 1>If you do, the President's going to pull his support

89
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:29.759
<v Speaker 1>and you're going to end up like Marjorie Taylor Green

90
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:34.439
<v Speaker 1>and Thomas Massey. Because that was the message that he

91
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:38.360
<v Speaker 1>was sending. Right, got to sacrifice somebody, somebody has to

92
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.759
<v Speaker 1>get clipped. We have to send a message to the

93
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:43.600
<v Speaker 1>rest of the troops that there can't be any discontentment

94
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.600
<v Speaker 1>amongst the ranks. And if there is well off with

95
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:51.560
<v Speaker 1>your political head and the way that all of these

96
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.079
<v Speaker 1>bitch ass senators and congressmen have fallen into line. I

97
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:59.639
<v Speaker 1>would say that message has been received. The next year,

98
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.439
<v Speaker 1>black Burne posted on social media claiming her efforts to

99
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.959
<v Speaker 1>crack the Epstein trafficking ring wide open had been stonewalled

100
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:09.959
<v Speaker 1>by Democrats at every turn, despite allegedly opting out of

101
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>helping Widen with the Finance Committee investigation. Doesn't shock me,

102
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:19.399
<v Speaker 1>just another big mouth, all talk, no walk. That day,

103
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Blackburn also wrote a letter to newly appointed FBI Director

104
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.879
<v Speaker 1>Cash Betel, calling it paramount that the FBI provide full

105
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.680
<v Speaker 1>transparency to the American people and immediately release the complete,

106
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:35.319
<v Speaker 1>unredacted records. In this case. Specifically, Blackburn called for the

107
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:38.879
<v Speaker 1>release of flight logs from Epstein's private helicopter and plane

108
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>records containing names of associates, including the infamous Little Black

109
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:47.199
<v Speaker 1>Book maintained by Glenn Maxwell, footage from Epstein's Florida home,

110
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.959
<v Speaker 1>and any other documents, records, or memoranda related to the

111
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.199
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey Epstein and Glene Maxwell matters until she got the

112
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.319
<v Speaker 1>marching orders not to do that. Oh well, we've got

113
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:02.800
<v Speaker 1>enough the big job on their hands. The President has

114
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:06.759
<v Speaker 1>done more for the survivors than anybody else. This is

115
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.759
<v Speaker 1>the bullshit that they keep giving us. And I don't

116
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.079
<v Speaker 1>know about you, but I've had my phil not one

117
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:17.839
<v Speaker 1>more bite. The same day, she wrote to the IRS

118
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:20.879
<v Speaker 1>asking the agency to release any materials that reveal the

119
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.240
<v Speaker 1>names of individuals and entities that held any type of

120
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:28.639
<v Speaker 1>financial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein or Glene Maxwell. Well, that

121
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.279
<v Speaker 1>would be nice. Did she follow up? Did she follow through?

122
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.319
<v Speaker 1>Did she ever get that report? Of course she didn't

123
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:40.079
<v Speaker 1>because she doesn't care. According to the report, Blackburn also

124
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:44.040
<v Speaker 1>ignored her request from Widen in December to co sponsor

125
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:47.519
<v Speaker 1>the produced Epstein Treasury Records Act, which would have required

126
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>the Treasury Department to share Epstein financial records with the Committee.

127
00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:56.519
<v Speaker 1>The bill currently has ten sponsors, all of whom are Democrats.

128
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Why would the Republicans not want to see that? Why

129
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't they want that information, unless, of course they're trying

130
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:08.519
<v Speaker 1>to cover it up. And look, we all know that

131
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:13.839
<v Speaker 1>the orders are coming from on high. The current administration

132
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:16.879
<v Speaker 1>is calling all the plays. And when you have a

133
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.920
<v Speaker 1>quarterback like that, you can't call an audible. You have

134
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.560
<v Speaker 1>to do what you have to do. And all these

135
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.920
<v Speaker 1>senators and congress people that are playing ball talk about cowards.

136
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Literally the biggest cowards may be in the history of

137
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:37.159
<v Speaker 1>American Congress. And that's saying something, folks. If Blackburn's elected governor,

138
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 1>she'll leave the Senate office in January and ostensibly have

139
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:43.519
<v Speaker 1>no further role in the investigation into or records fight

140
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:47.440
<v Speaker 1>surrounding Epstein and Maxwell. Still, the report paints a different

141
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:51.759
<v Speaker 1>picture than Blackburn's public comments on Epstein and some campaign promises.

142
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.519
<v Speaker 1>While breaking news, folks, you ready, Marshall Blackburn's a liar.

143
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:01.039
<v Speaker 1>I know I'm breaking serious news here. Fuck Walter Cronkite.

144
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Does anybody actually believe that Marshall Blackburn is not a liar?

145
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Does anyone actually believe that Ron Wyden is not a liar?

146
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.720
<v Speaker 1>During your campaign for governor, Blackburn has said that she'll

147
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.879
<v Speaker 1>be tough on crime, specifically calling for sex offenders to

148
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.559
<v Speaker 1>be executed. When asked if she would continue executions if

149
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 1>elected in a questionnaire by the Banner, Yo, I can

150
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.679
<v Speaker 1>get down with that. I don't feel like you can

151
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.840
<v Speaker 1>be redeemed if you hurt a child. Sorry, there's no

152
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:37.159
<v Speaker 1>redeeming that. You're a sick fuck and you were broken

153
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.600
<v Speaker 1>right from the factory. You're a lemon, and there's nothing

154
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.519
<v Speaker 1>we can do to rehabilitate somebody like that. And that's why,

155
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.360
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion, there's only one remedy for people who

156
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:53.960
<v Speaker 1>do that kind of thing, and that remedy is helicopters volcanoes. Yes,

157
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.639
<v Speaker 1>as soon as the criminal sentence to death has exhausted

158
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.480
<v Speaker 1>all of his or her appeals, the state should execute them.

159
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.879
<v Speaker 1>Blackburn and said as governor, I'll work closely to bring

160
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.519
<v Speaker 1>back the electric chair so the victims' families can get

161
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.559
<v Speaker 1>the closure that they deserve. If you rape or molest

162
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:12.320
<v Speaker 1>our babies in Tennessee, you should get the death sentence. Well,

163
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I can't disagree with that. Blackburn also told The Banner

164
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.440
<v Speaker 1>last week that she would stay in the Senate Office

165
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.399
<v Speaker 1>until sworn in as governor, which would set her up

166
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:25.519
<v Speaker 1>to appoint her own replacement in the Senate. Neither Blackburn's

167
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:29.080
<v Speaker 1>campaign nor Senate office staff responded to questions from The

168
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:33.679
<v Speaker 1>Banner about Wyden's report, the subpoenas, Blackburn's comments on Epstein,

169
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:37.519
<v Speaker 1>or her relationship to President Donald Trump, who has referenced

170
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.840
<v Speaker 1>repeatedly in the release files. And it's always the same story. Oh,

171
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I care so much. I want transparency. I want to

172
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:47.600
<v Speaker 1>hold people accountable. But when they get the chance to

173
00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:50.159
<v Speaker 1>put all that talk into action, all of a sudden

174
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:53.720
<v Speaker 1>things are nuanced. All of a sudden, there's a lot

175
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:57.559
<v Speaker 1>of gray area. Well, Senator Blackburn, there is no gray

176
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>area either. You're on the side of transparence the injustice

177
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:04.879
<v Speaker 1>where you're just another epstein enabler. All the information that

178
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:08.320
<v Speaker 1>goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
