1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:08,919 Epstein Chronicles. When Jeffrey Epstein was first arrested in twenty nineteen, 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,880 one of the most shocking bits of information to come 4 00:00:11,919 --> 00:00:16,440 out of that arrest was that Zoro Ranch was never rated, 5 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,640 And while people like us were demanding answers as to 6 00:00:19,679 --> 00:00:22,879 why Zoro Ranch was never rated, the legacy media was 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,039 way too busy calling people conspiracy theorists to really dive 8 00:00:27,079 --> 00:00:29,879 into what was going on in New Mexico. And one 9 00:00:29,879 --> 00:00:32,920 of the main reasons for that is that Jeffrey Epstein 10 00:00:33,439 --> 00:00:36,719 was very well connected inside of the state and that 11 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,960 protection went all the way up to the governor's house. 12 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,799 And we're not talking about pickyune little allegations here. We're 13 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:49,159 talking about serious allegations. We're talking about Virginia Roberts saying 14 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,039 that Bill Richardson, who was the governor of the state, 15 00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:57,759 rapedor But the legacy media they couldn't be bothered by 16 00:00:57,759 --> 00:00:59,719 that at the time because it would have provided a 17 00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:02,840 unition to the other side. So instead of doing the 18 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,560 right thing and exposing this for what it was, they 19 00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:09,560 hardly ever talked about it. They didn't talk about the 20 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,879 King family, They didn't talk about the relationships that Jeffrey 21 00:01:13,879 --> 00:01:17,280 Epstein built in the state of New Mexico and how 22 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,239 that led directly to Jeffrey Epstein being able to get 23 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,879 away with what he got away with. And there still 24 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,040 has not been any kind of reckoning. And that's why 25 00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:30,159 when Biden had Bill Richardson working with him to get 26 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,959 Britney Griner home from Russia, I called that a bad 27 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,519 idea as well, like, what are we doing right now? 28 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,879 What kind of message are we trying to send to people? 29 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,560 And what I find really gross is that this same 30 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,799 legacy media who largely ignored Virginia when she was alive, 31 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,480 all of a sudden they believe everything she said. Now, 32 00:01:51,519 --> 00:01:53,480 if they would have had that same approach back in 33 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,840 twenty nineteen, things would have been a lot different. But instead, 34 00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:01,319 the legacy media chose to continue to protect the powerful 35 00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:05,239 and ignore the disgusting truth that was staring them directly 36 00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:08,960 in the face. Well, now the state of New Mexico 37 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,879 has a new investigation that they kicked off, and they're 38 00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:16,680 starting to ask questions about Epstein's links to the powerful 39 00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:20,240 people within the state, and not only that, but who 40 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,599 protected him, who was taking his money, who was visiting 41 00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:26,199 with him, who was spending time with him. All of 42 00:02:26,199 --> 00:02:29,439 that has to be looked at, and hopefully that's what 43 00:02:29,479 --> 00:02:33,919 this investigation is going to do. Today's article is from 44 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,080 Reuter's and the headline as New Mexico investigates questions are 45 00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:44,240 raised about Epstein's links to the powerful. This article was 46 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,400 authored by Andrew Hay As police for the first time 47 00:02:48,719 --> 00:02:52,000 search Jeffrey Epstein's New Mexico ranch for evidence of any 48 00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:55,039 abuse he may have committed at the Old West theme 49 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,479 tied away, attention has focused on the powerful former politicians 50 00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:02,599 in the state who continued to meet and receive campaign 51 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:08,159 donations from Epstein long after he became a registered sex offender. Yeo, 52 00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:10,400 I'm old enough to remember a time in this country 53 00:03:10,719 --> 00:03:13,360 when that alone would have had you looking for a 54 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,000 new gig. You certainly would have been in public office, 55 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,719 that's for damn sure. But I guess in this quote 56 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,800 unquote new and improved country we live in, it's all good. 57 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,759 And unfortunately that's what happens when cult of personality becomes 58 00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:32,159 more important than protecting the most vulnerable. Epstein's relationship with 59 00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:35,080 the state Democratic Party leaders, uh oh, people aren't going 60 00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:36,960 to want to hear this, but I've been telling you, 61 00:03:37,719 --> 00:03:41,120 including two former governors and a state attorney general, and 62 00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:44,599 the institutional failings that may have allowed the convicted sex 63 00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:49,159 offender to perpetrate abuse at the ranch or under investigation 64 00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:52,439 by a New Mexico state truth Commission, the first of 65 00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:55,039 its kind in the country, and I hope it's not 66 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,599 the last, because we can't rely on the federal government 67 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,719 to do the right thing here. I think that's relatively 68 00:04:01,759 --> 00:04:04,879 obvious to anyone paying attention at this point, and I 69 00:04:04,919 --> 00:04:07,960 think anybody that's relying on the federal government to step 70 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,120 in and give us the information needed is kidding themselves. 71 00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:15,360 And so I hope that more states take a proactive 72 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,120 approach and look into these matters for themselves, and if 73 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,079 any crimes were committed at the state level, those crimes 74 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,959 should be prosecuted. Right Zoro Ranch, where Epstein spent about 75 00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:30,240 two months a year, was alleged to be a hub 76 00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:33,720 and his sex trafficking of children that stretch between the 77 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,720 US Virgin Islands, New York, and Florida. According to a 78 00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:41,079 twenty twenty letter from the New Mexico Attorney General's office 79 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,240 and numerous documents, among the millions recently released by the 80 00:04:45,319 --> 00:04:49,120 US Department of Justice. Notice how they don't talk about France, 81 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,199 or the UK or these other countries Epstein was operating in. 82 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,800 It wasn't just America. This was an international trafficking operation. 83 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,959 I'll take it a step further, not just trafficking, but 84 00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:09,240 a transnational criminal organization in general, whether it's money laundering, 85 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:14,199 wire fraud, human trafficking, or hell drugs. As we've seen, 86 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,560 Jeffrey Epstein had his disgusting hands in plenty of pies. 87 00:05:18,879 --> 00:05:21,519 So let's not be naive and think there's any crimes 88 00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:27,240 at this comebag wasn't interested in committing. Epstein spent relatively 89 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,319 little to establish himself as a major funding force in 90 00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:34,199 democratic run New Mexico. He donated just over one hundred 91 00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:37,639 and sixty thousand dollars across five races between two thousand 92 00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:41,480 and two and twenty fourteen, according to interviews and a 93 00:05:41,519 --> 00:05:45,720 review of campaign finance records. He was often the biggest 94 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,199 outside donor to campaigns, including after his first sex offender 95 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,920 conviction in two thousand and eight. This is not new information. 96 00:05:54,879 --> 00:05:57,519 This is exactly what we've been telling you for years, 97 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,160 and they ignored it. They called does conspiracy theorists. They 98 00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:06,519 said that we were right wingers all because we were 99 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,360 exposing what was going on in New Mexico. And I 100 00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:11,959 remember when this was all cracking off, people on the 101 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,480 left were like, come on, you're unfairly targeting Bill Richardson. 102 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,800 This is all about, you know, moving the narrative, this 103 00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:22,399 is about blaming the Democrats. But really it was just 104 00:06:22,439 --> 00:06:25,800 about following the evidence. And now the same is true 105 00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:29,439 about what's going on currently. I'm just following the evidence 106 00:06:29,439 --> 00:06:32,079 wherever it takes me. And if that leads to your 107 00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:35,399 favorite politician, that sounds like a you and your favorite 108 00:06:35,439 --> 00:06:39,720 politician problem, not a me problem. But the legacy media 109 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,360 they refused to report on it. They had much better 110 00:06:43,399 --> 00:06:46,439 things to do, folks, much better things like to divide 111 00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:50,879 the populace. Reuters did not find any evidence that Epstein 112 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,000 received anything in return for his donations. Oh, nothing in return. Nothing, 113 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,079 because we all know that's how Epstein operated, right, A 114 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,639 guy that you know was just altruistic, like I always say, 115 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,319 didn't want anything in return. He was just doing it 116 00:07:04,399 --> 00:07:08,600 because you know, that's how he rolls. Epstein ties with 117 00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:11,920 the late former Governor Bill Richardson have been well reported. 118 00:07:12,519 --> 00:07:16,000 The state's former top law enforcement agent, Gary King, also 119 00:07:16,079 --> 00:07:19,959 had contact with Epstein after he was convicted of felony 120 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,199 sex crimes, including meeting him in twenty ten. Epstein donated 121 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,279 to dozens of US politicians, but nearly all of them 122 00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:31,079 cut ties with them after the Florida conviction. Well, not 123 00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:34,480 the people in New Mexico and not Stacy Plaskett. And 124 00:07:34,519 --> 00:07:38,439 that's the uncomfortable truth that these Democratic lawmakers in Congress 125 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,800 have to grapple with. It wasn't just the other side 126 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,160 of the aisle. And this is the point that people 127 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,680 who really know this story have been trying to make 128 00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:51,360 for half a decade now, little more than half a decade, 129 00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:55,120 and it's fallen on deaf hears. But now that Reuters 130 00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:58,959 is reporting it, maybe people will listen once you know 131 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,839 what's happened. Tontinue to take campaign contributions is reprehensible. US 132 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,000 Congresswoman Theresa Legger Fernandez said on the sidelines of a 133 00:08:08,079 --> 00:08:11,439 March at Zora Ranch protest when asked about the relationship 134 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,399 between Epstein and Richardson and King. King's campaign returned to 135 00:08:16,439 --> 00:08:21,439 the donation in twenty fourteen. Not one comment yet or 136 00:08:21,519 --> 00:08:25,800 one statement about the allegations made against Bill Richardson by 137 00:08:25,879 --> 00:08:28,800 Virginia Roberts. So if you're going to report what you 138 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,839 saw in the Epstein files about Donald Trump, then you 139 00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:35,519 most certainly have to report what has been said about 140 00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:39,559 Bill Richardson. And also George Mitchell. Let's not forget him. 141 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,200 So as you can see, folks, this is a gigantic 142 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,919 shit sandwich, and we're all taken a bite. It doesn't 143 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,159 matter what side of the isle you're on. King's campaign 144 00:08:51,639 --> 00:08:57,639 returned to donation in twenty fourteen. Leger Fernandez, who represents 145 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,759 the High Plains area thirty miles south of this capitalist 146 00:09:00,759 --> 00:09:05,279 Santa Fe, is among those questioning why federal, state, and 147 00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:09,679 local law enforcement never investigated complaints of sexual abuse at 148 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,440 the ranch, and why federal authorities told state investigators to 149 00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:17,399 drop a child sex trafficking probe in twenty nineteen but 150 00:09:17,919 --> 00:09:23,679 never searched or seize the ranch before it's twenty twenty three. Sell, Well, 151 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,120 you'll say it's a coincidence, and I'll say it's by design. 152 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,240 They didn't want that place rated. They didn't want all 153 00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:34,960 these ties to all these local politicians in New Mexico 154 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,720 to be revealed, so they had to protect them, right, 155 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,679 got to make sure you protect the political class. Who 156 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,440 cares if girls were raped? Who cares if people were harmed? 157 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,519 Not our business. We're just law enforcement. King seventy one 158 00:09:49,759 --> 00:09:52,480 said he never visited Epstein's ranch and never asked the 159 00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:56,200 late finance here for campaign donations. After his Florida conviction, 160 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,399 I personally told mister Epstein that the campaign would not 161 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,159 accept contributions from him as a result of his admitted 162 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,840 criminal activity. King, new Mexico's attorney general from two thousand 163 00:10:08,879 --> 00:10:11,960 and seven to twenty fifteen, said in a statement in 164 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,919 a response to Reuter's questions about campaign letters seeking donations 165 00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:21,200 from Epstein included in the DJ files, King said he 166 00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:23,759 had no knowledge that the letters were sent to Epstein, 167 00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:27,039 and they appeared to be pro forma mailings to past donors. 168 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,080 Always an excuse. Right can never own up to it. 169 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,799 And that's one of the things that I find so 170 00:10:33,919 --> 00:10:37,399 disgusting about the whole thing. These people have lied for 171 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:40,840 years about what happened about their relationships, and now that 172 00:10:40,879 --> 00:10:45,200 they're being outed, they continue to double down on those lies. 173 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,360 I mean, traditionally speaking, when you find yourself in a hole, 174 00:10:49,039 --> 00:10:51,559 you usually want to stop digging right, But I guess 175 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,000 you'd have to feel some shame for that, and these people, 176 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,639 they don't feel any shame whatsoever, And the only regret 177 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,320 they feel is the regret for being outed as someone 178 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,320 hanging out with Epstein. In nineteen ninety three, Epstein bought 179 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,600 seventy five hundred acres of land from three times New 180 00:11:08,639 --> 00:11:12,519 Mexico Governor Bruce King and other members of his powerful 181 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,919 New Mexico political family. According to county records, Gary King, 182 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,759 who is Bruce King's son, was one of the parties 183 00:11:19,799 --> 00:11:23,200 to the sale. In his statement to Reuters, the younger 184 00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:26,480 King said that Epstein paid around three point seventy five 185 00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:28,960 million for the land, a fair market value at the 186 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,600 time based on New Mexico University research. Bruce King died 187 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,120 in two thousand and nine. Epstein proceeded to build what 188 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,679 became known locally as the Victoria's Secret Ranch for the 189 00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:46,799 lingerie models rumored to go there. Three local people told Reuters, Yo, 190 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,440 why didn't Reuters go there back into twenty nineteen twenty 191 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,399 twenty like I did all these years later? Now you're 192 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,039 trying to hold people accountable when evidence is gone, memories 193 00:11:58,039 --> 00:12:01,679 are forgotten, people have died, but sure welcome to the party. 194 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:07,559 Pal a master networker, Epstein invited scientists, politicians, billionaires, and 195 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,879 Hollywood celebrities to the Ranch, where some commented on the 196 00:12:10,919 --> 00:12:14,840 girls emails in the Epstein File show. In two thousand 197 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,440 and six, Epstein donated fifteen thousand dollars to the campaign 198 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,759 of Gary King. King told Reuters he did not return 199 00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:24,200 the money, as in two thousand and six he was 200 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,440 not aware of any reports of wrongdoing by Epstein. No, 201 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,600 none at all, no reports whatsoever. Nobody had any idea. 202 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,039 What are you crazy? He wouldcall, meeting Epstein only once 203 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,639 in twenty ten at Santa Fe restaurant Jinja, where they 204 00:12:41,799 --> 00:12:46,200 drank tea and Epstein expressed his condolences. After King's father died, 205 00:12:46,919 --> 00:12:49,679 a two thousand and nine email to Epstein said al 206 00:12:49,799 --> 00:12:53,440 Zoro Ranch staff would attend Bruce King's funeral service. King, 207 00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:56,679 who trained as a chemist, said at their meeting they 208 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,759 briefly discussed Epstein's interaction with the Santa Fe Institute, an 209 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,600 influential scientific foundation, and who the hell knows what they're 210 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,279 up to. They wanted nothing to do with your boy. 211 00:13:08,039 --> 00:13:10,039 I got thrown off that campus so fast when I 212 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,080 was there. It wasn't even funny. It was like they 213 00:13:12,159 --> 00:13:15,440 knew I was coming, which they probably did, considering I 214 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,519 went to Epstein's ranch first, so they probably were aware 215 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,559 that I was in town and I was coming, and 216 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,240 when I showed up, they were right there to fucking 217 00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:28,919 toss me. Nobody wanted to talk, not one single word. 218 00:13:29,799 --> 00:13:33,759 When King ran for governor in twenty fourteen, Epstein donated 219 00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:36,960 thirty five thousand, six hundred dollars to the campaign, the 220 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:42,240 largest outside donation. Record show. King returned the twenty fourteen 221 00:13:42,279 --> 00:13:45,919 funds to Ebstein's companies three days after they were reported 222 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,080 in the press on September ninth of that year. Record 223 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,679 show around the same time, Epstein arranged to September eighth 224 00:13:53,759 --> 00:13:57,440 jet charter for King to attend to campaign breakfast in Washington, 225 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,600 According to emails in the DOJ Epstein files, King's campaign 226 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,720 paid for the flight, according to state records. OH, I 227 00:14:06,799 --> 00:14:09,840 have questions about that. What we see on paper and 228 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,240 what officially occurred two very different things. Just keep that 229 00:14:14,279 --> 00:14:18,360 in mind. If I had known of mister Epstein's involvement 230 00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:20,600 at the time, I would have asked my staff to 231 00:14:20,679 --> 00:14:23,639 use another charter company to conduct the flight, said King, 232 00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:27,279 who's retired from politics and now the president of a 233 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,720 charity called get this New Mexico Children's Foundation. All these 234 00:14:32,759 --> 00:14:37,360 people are degenerates. This guy was living off of Jeffrey 235 00:14:37,399 --> 00:14:40,519 Epstein's large esse and now he's running a New Mexico 236 00:14:40,639 --> 00:14:43,360 children's foundation. Boy, they love to just throw it right 237 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:48,039 in your face, don't they. The New Mexico Department of 238 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,600 Justice declined to comment. A document in the Epstein files 239 00:14:51,919 --> 00:14:55,519 shows FBI agents visited the New Mexico ranch in February 240 00:14:55,559 --> 00:14:58,879 two thousand and seven, when King was in charge of 241 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,759 New Mexico Law Enforce Horseman, and questioned manager Bryce Gordon 242 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,960 about Messus's Epstein flew in or hired locally. Reuters was 243 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,279 not able to contact Gordon. King said the US Justice 244 00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:15,759 Department never informed his office of any investigation involving Epstein 245 00:15:16,159 --> 00:15:19,559 or his associates. Well, that's because it was killed by 246 00:15:19,679 --> 00:15:24,879 Philippe and Mukaesy, not alex Acosta. Do you think alex 247 00:15:24,879 --> 00:15:28,360 Acosta has the ability to kill the investigation all the 248 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,440 way in New Mexico or do you think that came 249 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:36,519 from Maine Justice. Reuters found no evidence King had knowledge 250 00:15:36,519 --> 00:15:39,879 of a federal probe into Epstein at that time. Santa 251 00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:42,919 Fe Police Deputy Chief Ben Valdez said in a statement 252 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,799 his department had no record of any report concerning Epstein. 253 00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:50,360 The Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office, in whose jurisdiction the 254 00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:53,480 ranch is located, said it was looking into any allegations 255 00:15:53,679 --> 00:15:57,559 it may have received regarding Epstein. New Mexico State Police 256 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,360 did not respond to a request for comment. New Mexico 257 00:16:01,399 --> 00:16:06,639 Attorney General Raul Torres reopened the state's Epstein investigation in February. 258 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,720 The US Department of Justice and FBI declined to comment. Well, 259 00:16:11,799 --> 00:16:15,120 of course they did. They're having their work checked right now, right, 260 00:16:15,559 --> 00:16:19,080 that's what's going on. The state doesn't trust the federal government, 261 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,000 so they have their own investigation that's cracking off. Is 262 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,720 it going to lead anywhere? I don't know. But much 263 00:16:24,759 --> 00:16:28,320 more confident in them actually investigating things here than I 264 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,399 am with the DOJ, because the DOJ has shown us 265 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,799 and told us they have no desire here. There's no 266 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,279 more investigation to be had, and you should move on. 267 00:16:37,799 --> 00:16:40,960 But thankfully, the people in New Mexico don't seem to 268 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,399 be ready to move on, And I don't think you 269 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,000 folks are either, so, like usual, we'll keep the flags 270 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,879 of discontent waving as we continue our journey through the 271 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,360 muck looking for that clarity.
