1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:09,439 Epstein Chronicles. So yesterday Pam Bondy sat before the Senate 3 00:00:09,839 --> 00:00:12,839 and she talked about a whole host of things, and 4 00:00:12,919 --> 00:00:16,239 of course the topic of Jeffrey Epstein was front and center, 5 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,320 and there was a lot of back and forth between 6 00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:21,559 Pam Bondy and the senators, and frankly, I found it 7 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:26,320 all disgusting. It's all performative, all of it. It's not 8 00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:28,399 really trying to drill down to figure out what happened. 9 00:00:28,519 --> 00:00:31,359 It's not trying to get to the bottom of, you know, 10 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,560 what Epstein was up to. Instead, these senators are all 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,200 looking for a gotcha moment, and they hope that they 12 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,719 can utilize that gotcha moment as a political cudgel to 13 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:46,039 use against their political enemies. And that's exactly why they're 14 00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:48,200 interested all of a sudden, because they feel like they 15 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,359 have some ground they can make up. But they'll get 16 00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:54,439 up here and they'll tell you that it's something completely different, right, 17 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,560 that they care all of a sudden that they want 18 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,479 to bring justice to Jeffrey Epstein victims. Well, you had 19 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,959 your chance to do that for years, and all you 20 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,000 did was ignore the topic and call people who were 21 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,359 interested in the topic and who were actually doing the 22 00:01:10,439 --> 00:01:13,560 work crazy. But now you're gonna get up there and 23 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,400 act self righteous and hurl all these accusations at everybody else. 24 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,519 And that might play with your base, but for the 25 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,040 rest of us, it looks disgusting and it looks like 26 00:01:24,079 --> 00:01:27,760 it's very self serving. We've had all these hearings now 27 00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:31,680 since what July, Committees, this, that, the other thing, and 28 00:01:31,719 --> 00:01:34,959 what's come of it not a damn thing. We don't 29 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,840 even have the alex Acosta transcripts yet. Well, you have 30 00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:40,760 to go through that with a fine tooth comb and 31 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,159 make sure that we don't have the information that's needed. 32 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,400 It's all just a gigantic joke to these people, and 33 00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:49,879 it's all about scoring political points, and that goes for 34 00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:52,079 both sides. And like I always say, that's how they 35 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,040 weaponize the confusion. They want everybody to be confused about 36 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,280 everything that went on, everything that's still going on. That way, 37 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,599 it's almost in possible to cut through what's real and 38 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,760 what's fake. And that's how they thrive. And then you 39 00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:08,159 have these senators that get up there and pound Bondy, 40 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,599 that get up there and instead of doing anything productive. 41 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,479 It's just a shit show, an absolute circus of allegations 42 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,680 being flung around, and the whole hell of a lot 43 00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:21,520 of what about ism on top of it. So today 44 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,680 we're going to dive into an article from The New 45 00:02:23,759 --> 00:02:27,000 York Post talking about Pound Bondy and her hearing in 46 00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:31,479 front of the Senate that was yesterday headline, pound Bondy 47 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,840 lashes out at Dems in rowdy hearing over the Epstein 48 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:40,319 case salacious remarks. This article was authored by Stephen Nelson, 49 00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:45,639 Attorney General. Pound Bondi went on offense Tuesday as Senate 50 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,479 Democrats Grilleder about the Jeffrey Epstein case and other matters, 51 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,400 with Bondy at one point suggesting Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of 52 00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:56,599 Rhode Island might be concerned about embarrassing links to the 53 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,199 late pedophile. Bondi sought to turn the tables on white 54 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,159 House and Senator Dick Durbin during a Senate Judiciary Committee 55 00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:07,719 hearing after facing months of criticism over her July sixth 56 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,319 memo recommending against further public disclosures in the notorious sex 57 00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:17,199 traffickers case. How many of those Treasury suspicious activity reports 58 00:03:17,439 --> 00:03:21,000 did you, or FBI Director Cash battel investigate. White House 59 00:03:21,039 --> 00:03:24,680 asked Bondie about transactions made by Epstein that had been 60 00:03:24,719 --> 00:03:29,280 flagged by the banks. The attorney general snapback, Senator, I'm 61 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,800 not sure if you're concerned because you took money, I 62 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,039 believe did you from Reed Hoffman, one of Epstein's closest confidants, 63 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,800 not only once but twice in twenty eighteen and twenty 64 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:47,439 twenty four. Well that's true, but you realize, miss Bondie, 65 00:03:47,479 --> 00:03:51,840 that Leon Black's son, one of Jeffrey Epstein's bigger confidants, 66 00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:55,639 is part of the Trump administration. So how about we 67 00:03:55,719 --> 00:03:58,280 just save the what about ism because it's obvious that 68 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,719 both sides were eating out of Jeffrey Epstein's trough. She added, 69 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,280 did you ask former Attorney General Merrick Garland any of 70 00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:08,879 this over the last four years when he sat before you? 71 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,000 And that's a legitimate point. That is certainly a legitimate point. 72 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,639 The Biden administration didn't give one single damn about what 73 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,639 was going on with Epstein. And we all know that 74 00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:22,639 as CIA director Bill Burns was friendly with Epstein and 75 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,839 even went to his house several times and was talking 76 00:04:25,879 --> 00:04:29,720 about how Epstein some kind of lifestyle coach that's Biden's 77 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,240 head of the CIA, or how about Bill Richardson? Should 78 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,759 we talk about him? So there's certainly a legitimate point 79 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,160 to be made about the previous administrations not giving one 80 00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:42,199 single damn about what went on, But save the what 81 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,160 about ism. You're in control now, you're in power now, 82 00:04:45,439 --> 00:04:49,319 I don't care what the previous administrations did. Either you're 83 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,279 gonna step up and do the right thing or you're not. 84 00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:53,920 And you can try and put the blame wherever you 85 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,240 want to put it, but it's not going to work. 86 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,480 I mean, maybe for your base or whatever, but the 87 00:04:59,519 --> 00:05:02,199 vast maj already of people see this bullshit for what 88 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:07,240 it is. White House plowed on. There's been public reporting 89 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,360 that Jeffrey Epstein showed people photos of President Trump with 90 00:05:10,399 --> 00:05:13,560 half naked young women. Do you know if the FBI 91 00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:16,959 found those photos in their search of Jeffrey Epstein's safe 92 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,399 or a premises or otherwise. Now, look, I've never seen 93 00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:23,839 those pictures, But would I be shocked if they existed? Hell? No, 94 00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:27,800 I wouldn't be. And why not? Well? Trump was involved 95 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,600 in that world, right, the modeling world was involved in 96 00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:33,720 the beauty pageants, So would it be that shocking? If 97 00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:36,439 these two dudes were together when they were friendly and 98 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,240 there was a girl that was half naked, so we 99 00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:42,160 need some contact with that kind of comment. You can't 100 00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:44,680 just fire off that comment and be like, well was 101 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,480 he with a half naked girl? Okay, where were they at? 102 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,639 What was the situation? Right? And all of that matters 103 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,040 because if you don't do that, and you don't be 104 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,079 fully transparent about what you're talking about, you're gonna give 105 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,160 the quote unquote other side the ammunition they need to say, Look, 106 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,360 this is all just a political hit job. Bondi blasted 107 00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:06,000 him again. You know, Senator white House, you sit here 108 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,199 and make salacious remarks once again, trying to slander President 109 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,879 Trump left and right, and you're the one who was 110 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,040 taking money from one of Epstein's closest confidants, and the 111 00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:17,959 Senator sitting right next to you, Durban, tried to block 112 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,319 the flight logs from being released. I don't know about you, folks, 113 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,680 but I'm really tired of all this blame being thrown 114 00:06:24,879 --> 00:06:27,439 everywhere but where it belongs, and that's what the people 115 00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:31,199 who are in charge. Enough is enough. You have the 116 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,319 power right now, pound BONDI, to change things. You have 117 00:06:34,399 --> 00:06:37,879 the power to walk directly into the DOJ and tell 118 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,720 them you want to get rid of the NPA. You 119 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,680 have that power nobody else. Now, look, I'm not going 120 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,759 to sit here and tell you that these senators are 121 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,720 good people. I don't think they are. And the vast 122 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,800 majority of them took Jeffrey Epstein's money and didn't give 123 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,480 one single damn about the survivors while they were doing it, 124 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,519 and then even afterwards they acted like it wasn't a 125 00:06:58,519 --> 00:07:00,800 big deal. Some of them talked about how I'm not 126 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,279 going to give the money back. Stacy Plaskett, I'm looking 127 00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:06,759 at you. Then you have other people who took money previously, 128 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,639 and they're like, well, that's a defunct campaign. What do 129 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,920 you want us to do now, Well, how about doing 130 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,879 the right thing and giving the money back? Don adding 131 00:07:15,959 --> 00:07:20,199 it something? But no, it's all performative. It's all this 132 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,360 is what you should be doing. Meanwhile, the people that 133 00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:25,399 are saying that are the ones that are over at 134 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:31,040 Epstein's house breaking bread with them. When Durbin spoke, Bondie 135 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,720 pointed out that in twenty twenty three, the committee's top 136 00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:37,480 democrat blocked an attempt by Senator Marshall Blackburn to force 137 00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:41,199 the disclosure of Epstein's flight logs. Why was the July 138 00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:44,879 seventh memo un signed? Durban asked. Bondi retorted, why did 139 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,800 you fight to not disclose the flight logs? Senator Durbin? 140 00:07:48,279 --> 00:07:50,839 I did not refuse, he claimed, one of the senators 141 00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:53,600 here wished to produce those logs. I asked her to 142 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,160 put it in writing, and she never did so. Why 143 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,399 didn't you if it was that big of a deal, 144 00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:01,360 Senator Durbin, and somebody brought it up. Why you waiting 145 00:08:01,399 --> 00:08:04,480 for somebody else to kick things into gear? Why don't 146 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,879 you be the hero? Why don't you step up and say, hey, 147 00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:09,360 I'm gonna be the guy that breaks this wide open. 148 00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:12,360 I'll tell you why, because you never cared. And the 149 00:08:12,399 --> 00:08:14,639 only reason you care now is because you think you're 150 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,480 gonna win some political points by doing so. So you 151 00:08:17,519 --> 00:08:21,560 can miss me with all that self righteous bullshit. You 152 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,920 know that I submitted that in writing Blackburn cut in 153 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,279 to skuld Durban, and you continue to misrepresent that, and 154 00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:30,079 I'm not going to let that record stand. Trump has 155 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,879 tried to move on from the Epstein controversy, calling it 156 00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:36,360 a democratic hoax designed to smear him for his socializing 157 00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:39,840 with the disgraced financier in the nineteen nineties and early 158 00:08:39,879 --> 00:08:43,600 two thousands. I mean, imagine having the audacity in the 159 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,440 stones to call this shit a hoax, like for real, 160 00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:52,200 talk about a self inflicted wound politically speaking. And of 161 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,360 course that rift is just widening. Look at what's going 162 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,039 on with Marjorie Taylor Green talking about how she's being pressured, 163 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,480 how the part he's going after, the whole thing. God 164 00:09:02,519 --> 00:09:05,519 forbids somebody has their own mind, right, God forbid somebody 165 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,159 leaves the echo chamber. Now you're the enemy. Now you're 166 00:09:09,159 --> 00:09:12,240 a hostile force because you want the truth and you're 167 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,639 demanding transparency from the government. And somehow that makes you 168 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,399 the bad guy. I mean, God forbid, you go against 169 00:09:19,399 --> 00:09:23,559 the party. Right. Bipartisan cohort in Congress has continued to 170 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,840 seek more information about Epstein's links to powerful men such 171 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,600 as former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, former Harvard president 172 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,759 Larry Summers, and Microsoft chief Bill Gates with subpoenas and 173 00:09:34,759 --> 00:09:38,960 in sharing public disclosures by the Republican Ledhouse Oversight Committee, 174 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,799 and all of those dudes plus more should be brought 175 00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:46,120 up and spoken to. And I think that Senator Kennedy 176 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,399 was on the right path talking about bringing up Howard 177 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,000 Lutnik and having him talk about what he knows, because 178 00:09:53,039 --> 00:09:55,200 obviously he knows a lot more than he let on. 179 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,519 We all heard what he had to say recently, So yeah, 180 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,360 Howard Lutnick should definitely be brought up, along with all 181 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,000 those other people that were just mentioned, Prince Andrew, Larry Summers, 182 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,600 Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, everybody. And of course some of 183 00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:12,639 them are being brought in, but it only scratches the surface. 184 00:10:12,919 --> 00:10:16,000 They're not going deep enough because obviously there's a lot 185 00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:18,879 more here if you go a little bit deeper below 186 00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:21,480 the surface. A lot of other people that could be 187 00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:25,759 brought in. What about the guards Tavin Noel and Michael Thomas. 188 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,080 What about the person who was the lieutenant on shift 189 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,240 that night? What about the EMS workers? What about See 190 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,600 where I'm going with this. There's a lot of people 191 00:10:36,639 --> 00:10:39,480 that haven't even been thought about that should be brought 192 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,080 up in front of Congress or the Senate, put under 193 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,960 oath and ask questions. And it's not because I think 194 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,799 that were involved, but they might remember something or know 195 00:10:48,879 --> 00:10:54,000 something that advances the investigation overall. But instead these people 196 00:10:54,039 --> 00:10:58,039 haven't even been spoken to, certainly not on the record. 197 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,279 Bondi and Durbin also tangled over the legal justification of 198 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,840 Trump's decision to dispatch the National Guard to Chicago. Bondi 199 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,720 highlighted the hundreds of homicides that have taken place in 200 00:11:10,759 --> 00:11:13,639 the Windy City in recent years, and noted that Bettel 201 00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:18,919 and Deputy Attorney General Todd Baby Billy Blanche were en 202 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,919 route to the city on Tuesday. Well, that's cool, Todd 203 00:11:21,919 --> 00:11:24,720 Blanche can show up down in Chicago. He's not busy 204 00:11:24,799 --> 00:11:27,600 waiting hand and foot on Glenn Maxwell anymore. No more 205 00:11:27,639 --> 00:11:30,399 Chick fil a sandwiches for his buddy Glaan huh, Well 206 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,120 that's nice. I wish you love Chicago as much as 207 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,159 you hate President Trump, Bondi swiped at the ranking member, 208 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,200 If you're not going to protect your citizens, President Trump, 209 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,720 Will Bondi deployed a similar line of attack against Senator 210 00:11:44,759 --> 00:11:48,000 Alex Padia in response to a question about whether the 211 00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:52,159 administration is required to follow court orders temporarily blocking the 212 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,120 deployment of troops to American cities. And the rest of 213 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,279 the article just talks about the other things that were 214 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,679 going on during the hearing, and they're not really relevant 215 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,919 to the topic at hand. So we're just gonna end 216 00:12:02,919 --> 00:12:05,960 this article right here because it gives you everything you 217 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,159 need to know about that hearing when it comes to 218 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,399 Epstein anyway, and it was just a gigantic circus once again, 219 00:12:12,519 --> 00:12:16,240 nothing ever gets accomplished, just allegations thrown around, a whole 220 00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:18,679 bunch of what about ism, a bunch of finger pointing, 221 00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:22,159 but never any results. And that's exactly what we had 222 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,159 yesterday with Pam Bondi in front of the Senate, and unfortunately, 223 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,080 my guess is that's what we can expect moving forward. 224 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,759 All of the information that goes with this episode can 225 00:12:33,799 --> 00:12:35,720 be found in the description box.
