1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Company. What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,320
Hope that everybody's having a great morning so far, and

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:13,279
hopefully the rest of your day is even better. You've

4
00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:17,519
probably noticed that I uploaded a couple of episodes of

5
00:00:17,559 --> 00:00:21,280
a series that I created called That's Wild, and in

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,120
that series, I discuss some of the more weird or

7
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:30,359
offbeat news from around the world. Now, I have received

8
00:00:30,399 --> 00:00:34,640
a ton of emails overnight about that That's Wild episodes,

9
00:00:35,119 --> 00:00:37,719
and yeah, I definitely have a few more that I

10
00:00:37,799 --> 00:00:40,359
will post up for you. I know. It's kind of

11
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:43,719
a nice change considering the heavy topic that we discuss

12
00:00:43,799 --> 00:00:47,640
here on this podcast all the time. So there needs

13
00:00:47,679 --> 00:00:50,759
to be a little bit of a break every now

14
00:00:50,799 --> 00:00:53,359
and then, right, We can't just continue on the path

15
00:00:53,439 --> 00:00:57,000
of just the type of content where we need to

16
00:00:57,079 --> 00:00:59,960
drink bleach afterwards. We have to break that monotony up

17
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:03,479
little bit. So that's why I came up with That's

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,439
Wild segments, and their home base is over at my

19
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,920
other podcast, Beyond the Horizon. But instead of sending you

20
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,000
folks to, you know, find another podcast to subscribe to

21
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:17,599
and all of that jazz, I'll just cross post stuff

22
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,439
like that. Over here as well, and it's all clearly labeled.

23
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:24,359
I know some of you are only interested in content

24
00:01:24,359 --> 00:01:27,319
about Epstein and Maxwell, and like I said yesterday, I

25
00:01:27,359 --> 00:01:32,000
get that understood. But there's definitely gonna be some crossover episodes.

26
00:01:32,519 --> 00:01:34,879
So those of you who are interested in listening to them,

27
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,040
and it seems like a lot of you are, well,

28
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:39,239
they'll be there for you. There's gonna be a few

29
00:01:39,239 --> 00:01:43,239
more today as well, and we're just gonna keep it rolling, folks.

30
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:46,519
You know, there is so much going on in this case,

31
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,480
as far as Jeffrey Epstein, Glene Maxwell, the co conspirators,

32
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,200
and other cases like it around the world, that we

33
00:01:54,239 --> 00:01:57,599
could legitimately sit here every day and pump out three

34
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:03,079
or four episodes on these kinds of people. That's how

35
00:02:03,319 --> 00:02:07,079
pervasive this issue really is, and that's how much information

36
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,120
is out there. And I plan on continuing to do

37
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,960
just that. As you can see, I have a bunch

38
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,120
of episodes that have been recorded in the catalog already

39
00:02:18,159 --> 00:02:22,360
that I've been uploading for context purposes, and we add

40
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,319
at least one new episode every single day. In fact,

41
00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:30,120
I ran out of space yesterday at Spreaker and had

42
00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:33,919
to upgrade my plan so that we could keep everything

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,599
rolling and make sure that the catalogs weren't done away

44
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:42,159
with or anything like that. But for me, now that

45
00:02:42,199 --> 00:02:46,240
I plan on, you know, creating content full time, it

46
00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:50,240
is just a no brainer to have that extra space anyways.

47
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,319
So we're going to continue to keep going until we

48
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,240
have to upgrade and get more space, and on and

49
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,960
on and on and on after that, because I'll tell

50
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,360
you what, there is no shortage of bad news out there, folks,

51
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,240
But you know what, there is a shortage of truthful

52
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:14,120
people bringing the news to you. Way too much bs

53
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:17,159
out there. I'm interested in one thing and one thing only, folks,

54
00:03:17,199 --> 00:03:19,319
and that's getting to the bottom of all of this stuff.

55
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:22,520
Just like you. I'm just a regular, average person, just

56
00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:25,960
like most of you out there, and I want answers.

57
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,400
And unfortunately, the people who are employed in these media

58
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:33,759
outlets and these you know, these corporations, they're not interested

59
00:03:33,759 --> 00:03:38,479
in getting to the truth. So it falls on independent

60
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,759
content creators and dependent journalists to try and move that

61
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,879
ball forward. And you know, now, like I said previously,

62
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,560
the year twenty twenty two, I'm here for it full time.

63
00:03:49,919 --> 00:03:52,479
One hundred percent of the time I spent a lot

64
00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:55,919
of time in the studio previously, but now that the

65
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,639
rest of my schedule is cleared up, is freed up,

66
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,639
and now that I am able to think about content

67
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:07,759
one hundred percent of the time, I am excited to

68
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,120
bring some of these projects to you, to share some

69
00:04:10,199 --> 00:04:14,240
of these projects with you, and hopefully get the conversation

70
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:19,199
moving in a few different ways. One thing you can

71
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,879
guarantee though, is that we're going to be here every

72
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,680
single day. Now. Look, there's people out there that are

73
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,399
way more talented than me. There are people out there

74
00:04:28,439 --> 00:04:31,040
that are way smarter than me. You know what, You're

75
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,160
not going to find, though, You're not going to find

76
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:36,519
people out there that are covering this story that are

77
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,839
going to outwork me. I pride myself on my level

78
00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:46,360
of commitment to following this story and continuing to bring

79
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:51,040
you folks the information. And while again I might not

80
00:04:51,079 --> 00:04:54,120
be the smartest guy in the world, certainly not the

81
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,240
most talented, but when it comes to work ethic, you

82
00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:01,800
will be hard pressed to find anyone that is going

83
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:07,000
to out hustle me. At this point, I live, breathe,

84
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,040
and sleep this content, folks. That's all I think about

85
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,079
is what the next segment's going to be how we're

86
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,839
going to present it and how we're going to use

87
00:05:16,959 --> 00:05:20,879
the information to help get justice to the most vulnerable

88
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,160
amongst us, Because guess what, at the end of the day,

89
00:05:24,959 --> 00:05:27,560
if we don't stand up for ourselves and we don't

90
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,519
stand up for those in our communities, nobody's going to

91
00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:34,000
do it for us. These rich people don't care about us. Oh,

92
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,680
I've donated seven billion dollars, yet your friend's charity that

93
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:41,360
he pocketed half of it. Probably you want to be

94
00:05:41,399 --> 00:05:44,360
a real philanthropist. Do you want to impress me? Get

95
00:05:44,399 --> 00:05:46,879
a couple of those big fat bags of money and

96
00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:50,439
head down to the urban area of your city and

97
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,120
start passing that money out. Knock on people's doors in

98
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:55,680
poor neighborhoods and ask them if you could pay their rent.

99
00:05:56,199 --> 00:05:58,600
That would impress me. Not giving your money to some

100
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,480
other charity, so you're boy can piece meal it off

101
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,040
so everybody can get a taste like it's the mafia.

102
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,120
Stop it. I'm not impressed by it. Oh, Jeff Bezos,

103
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,319
I don't care. I don't care. All of these people,

104
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,120
all of these billionaires, the whole billionaire class is gross.

105
00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:19,959
They have the real power and not just the money,

106
00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:24,160
but the power and influence to advance civilization. And I

107
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:27,959
don't and that's not hyperbole. They literally could advance civilization.

108
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:30,680
I'm not saying that they should be taxed into oblivion,

109
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,519
So I'm not saying that. I'm talking about the nonsense

110
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,720
they engage in, the wasted money and all of the

111
00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:40,759
other bs that goes along with it. They could really

112
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,920
make an impact, They could really make a change if

113
00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:45,439
they wanted to, but they don't want to. They want

114
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:48,680
to give you the image that they're a person of change. Oh,

115
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,160
we care about this charity or that charity, and it's

116
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,000
all really a hustle. What they're doing is protecting themselves

117
00:06:57,079 --> 00:06:59,279
later on down the line so that when they get

118
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:03,160
clipped like Beffrey Epstein or Leon Black or Glenn Dubin

119
00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:05,959
or Les Wexner or any of these other scumbags, they

120
00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:09,759
can fall back on their charitable givings and use it

121
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,439
like a suit of armor. I'm tired of it. They

122
00:07:13,519 --> 00:07:17,439
love doing that nonsense, and their pals in the legacy media,

123
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,560
they sure do provide cover for it, don't they. Well,

124
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,000
hopefully people are starting to catch on, and hopefully people

125
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:30,000
are starting to understand that the garbage on CNN, Fox News,

126
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,600
that's just propaganda. They're not attempting to hold anybody accountable.

127
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:38,480
They're looking to score political points. They're looking to carry

128
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,399
water for insert politician here or political party here, and

129
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:48,199
we go right along with it. Well, not me, I'm not.

130
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,399
There's zero chance I'm consuming any of that garbage, folks.

131
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,079
And I would hope that in the year twenty twenty two,

132
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,399
with all of the other options out there for you

133
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,920
independent journalists and otherwise, that you'd be doing the same thing.

134
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,920
The legacy media is just an absolute dumpster fire. And now,

135
00:08:05,959 --> 00:08:09,120
of course I'm not saying the whole legacy media right

136
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,839
like there's no good journalists. There are, there are a

137
00:08:11,879 --> 00:08:14,959
lot of them. I'm talking about the corporate structure and

138
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,759
the way the decisions are made inside of the boardroom.

139
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,040
That's what I have an issue with, not the hard

140
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,600
working journalists for the most part, who are out there,

141
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:27,720
you know, busting their ass trying to get a story.

142
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,920
Those people are essential. Those are the people I want

143
00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:36,159
to protect. It's the corporate overlords that I have an

144
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:42,879
issue with, the modern day robber barons, folks, and they're

145
00:08:42,879 --> 00:08:45,840
in control of everything you hear, you learn, and you see.

146
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,360
They need to be held to a higher level of accountability.

147
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,720
And unfortunately they've been able to get away with their

148
00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:57,360
nonsense for way too long. But now that things are

149
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,200
starting to shift a bit and there is a a

150
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,279
way bigger footprint for independent journalists and people in the media,

151
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,480
things are definitely taking a turn and more people are

152
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,919
relying on independent journalists for their news, are supporting independent

153
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,399
journalists with their own money as opposed to spending you know,

154
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:20,320
ten bucks a month on the Washington Post or whatever.

155
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,000
And that's definitely the way things are turning. And the

156
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,559
legacy media understands that, and that's why you'll see them

157
00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:34,960
lash out a lot at independent content creators or independent journalists,

158
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,000
call them conspiracy theorists and stuff like that, because they

159
00:09:38,159 --> 00:09:41,120
understand that they are not in control of the narrative anymore.

160
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:44,279
And once they lost control of the narrative, meaning the

161
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,080
corporate media, that certainly was the beginning of the end

162
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,759
for them to harbor the reputation of people like Maxwell

163
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:55,240
or Epstein. They couldn't get away with it anymore because

164
00:09:55,759 --> 00:10:00,840
social media and the survivors themselves took to the people

165
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,440
you and frankly, you were all fired up and pissed

166
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,759
off about it. And those of you who have just

167
00:10:06,799 --> 00:10:10,799
heard about this case, I feel the righteous indignation. I

168
00:10:10,879 --> 00:10:15,600
understand the burning anger that you are harboring in your

169
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,879
hearts right now towards these people. I am getting the emails,

170
00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:20,919
I am reading them, and I am trying to work

171
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,320
through them. But folks, believe me, I understand those of

172
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,600
you who weren't aware of what was going on here

173
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:30,440
besides just a surface idea, and you know, you get

174
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,480
the whole curtain pulled back in an eye full. It's

175
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,919
a lot to take in. But remember how the legacy

176
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,120
media framed this as a conspiracy theory for all these years,

177
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:46,440
when in reality it was a criminal conspiracy, an international

178
00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:51,519
criminal conspiracy is what it was, not a conspiracy theory.

179
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,240
And now, thankfully they can't run that narrative anymore because

180
00:10:56,279 --> 00:11:02,600
that's been shattered, especially with Maxwell's conviction. So moving forward,

181
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,559
we all know that the legacy media really can't be trusted,

182
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,960
right and hopefully in the year twenty twenty two they

183
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,799
take that into account and they get their shit together

184
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,360
and start doing the right thing. Now, believe me, I'm

185
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,679
not holding my breath. But the good news is that

186
00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:27,399
independent content creators, independent journalists, and independent sources for news

187
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,120
are popping up all over the place, and there are

188
00:11:31,159 --> 00:11:34,000
a lot of reliable people out there who are only

189
00:11:34,039 --> 00:11:36,799
interested in the truth. And frankly, folks, that's where I

190
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,360
find myself at this point in time, After this three

191
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,120
years that we have had on this journey digging into

192
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,480
Glene Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein and the whole entire cabal

193
00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:51,519
that they had running over there, it's rather obvious to

194
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,720
me that there has been way too much disinformation, way

195
00:11:55,759 --> 00:12:00,360
too much covering for the elites, and certainly not enough

196
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:08,919
accountability for people like Epstein. That's changing, and I hope

197
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,679
that that pattern continues, and I hope that moving forward

198
00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:18,679
we continue to hold people like Maxwell and Epstein accountable. Now,

199
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:24,559
this morning, we have an article from WBR excuse me,

200
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:30,639
WBUR dot org, and it is an article about Maxwell

201
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,919
being found guilty but asking the question did survivors get justice?

202
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,639
So let's dive into this article from authors Julie Dalstrom

203
00:12:40,879 --> 00:12:47,600
and Rachel Wexler over at WBRE headline Glenn Maxwell was

204
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,279
found guilty, But did survivors get justice? I like, right

205
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,000
away calling them survivors, right, not victims. That's a good thing.

206
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,000
And you see that with the legacy media as well.

207
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,120
As this whole entire thing evolved. It went from calling

208
00:13:01,159 --> 00:13:06,200
the girls victims to calling them survivors and certainly a

209
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,240
step in the right direction. Right. Remember words matter. Let's

210
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,519
call people what they are. Glenn Maxwell, she's a human trafficker.

211
00:13:14,799 --> 00:13:19,360
Maria Farmer, Annie Farmer, Virginia Roberts, those are survivors. And

212
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,919
it's nice to see that the legacy media has picked

213
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,240
up on that at least. Now, let's see how long

214
00:13:25,279 --> 00:13:27,080
it takes for them to all pick up on calling

215
00:13:27,159 --> 00:13:32,080
Maxwell a human trafficker. Many of view the guilty verdict

216
00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:35,320
in Glenn Maxwell's sex trafficking trial as the end of

217
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,559
the final chapter of this long, tragic saga. Survivors of

218
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:45,200
Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein sexual abuse expressed great relief after

219
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,000
the news. My soul yearned for justice and that Jerry

220
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,960
gave me just that, said Virginia Roberts, a prominent survivor

221
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,399
of Epstein. Yet, despite the welcome result, Maxwell's trial is

222
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,960
likely not the end for the end of the law

223
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,679
fraught road for survivors, certainly not We've discussed that a

224
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,240
lot here, right, And while it's nice to close the

225
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:10,840
door on Maxwell, it's nice to see her get locked up.

226
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,080
We're not just gonna be content with that, right, We're

227
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,759
not just gonna sit back and say, all right, well,

228
00:14:15,799 --> 00:14:18,679
it's all over and done with. Everybody's been held accountable.

229
00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:23,960
Let's all go back to our regularly scheduled broadcasting. That's

230
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,080
not in the cards. That's never gonna happen. We've all

231
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,600
had a look behind the curtain. We all know that

232
00:14:28,679 --> 00:14:34,120
Epstein and Maxwell weren't doing this themselves. And if it

233
00:14:34,159 --> 00:14:37,000
takes us screaming from the mountaintops once again to get

234
00:14:37,159 --> 00:14:40,559
justice here against the co conspirators, then so be it.

235
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,519
For decades, Epstein evaded detection by the criminal legal system

236
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,799
as he engaged in prolific sexual abuse of young women

237
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,840
and girls. Even when he eventually came to the attention

238
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,159
of law enforcement in two thousand and five, he marshaled

239
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,720
considerable wealth and influence to avoid criminal prosecut and negotiate

240
00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:05,360
a lenient plea deal. He thought he was untouchable. One

241
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:10,039
survivor of Epstein observed it was not until twenty nineteen

242
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,639
when criminal sexual trafficking charges were brought against Epstein, but

243
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,799
in an instant these efforts were thwarted by his suicide, allegedly,

244
00:15:20,279 --> 00:15:22,799
And when you really break it down, that is the truth,

245
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:28,879
real justice when it comes to Epstein. The survivors were

246
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,679
not able to have that with him killing himself or

247
00:15:33,759 --> 00:15:37,799
committing suicide or being killed, whatever you believe. They were

248
00:15:39,399 --> 00:15:41,840
not able to look him in the eye and get

249
00:15:41,879 --> 00:15:45,000
the justice that they deserve. Now, at least they were

250
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:50,080
able to sue the estate and get that restitution and

251
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,159
get that acknowledgment for what happened to them. Because remember,

252
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,559
once Epstein paid that money out, once that of state

253
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,000
paid that money out, they took liability for the crimes

254
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,720
were committed. They took liability for the sexual abuse that

255
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,919
Jeffrey Epstein was committing. And that's a victory right now.

256
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,360
We can get into the numbers all day about where

257
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,840
they paid enough, weren't they paid enough, that whole argument,

258
00:16:15,279 --> 00:16:19,200
but one thing is not debatable, and that's the fact

259
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,759
that the estate and Jeffrey Epstein finally had to take

260
00:16:22,799 --> 00:16:29,360
responsibility when they paid that money out. With every setback,

261
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,039
survivors have tried to make the legal system work for them.

262
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,200
They offered victim impact statements in district court. When Epstein's

263
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,960
criminal charges were dismissed, they brought civil claims and applied

264
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,360
for compensation from Epstein's survivor Trust fund. Yet justice was

265
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,440
slow and in many cases elusive, and it has remained

266
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:53,279
such right. Justice has been slow, justice has been fleeting,

267
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,919
and we could use a nice, healthy dose of justice

268
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,960
when it comes to the other people in this case.

269
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,400
In light of these challenges, many have viewed Maxwell's chrial

270
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,920
as a way to provide much needed closure and empowerment

271
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,960
for survivors, But in many ways, it provided yet another

272
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,799
space to humiliate and re traumatize survivors, as often occurs

273
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:21,319
in sex crime prosecutions. While the Me Too movement drew

274
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,920
attention to the prevalence of sex crimes, survivors still faced

275
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,799
tremendous challenges when coming forward. So where was the me

276
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,319
too movement for these ladies? By the way, where were

277
00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:35,880
the big protests out in front of that courthouse? Where

278
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:41,319
were the demands for accountability for the other co conspirators.

279
00:17:42,839 --> 00:17:45,200
I would like to see the same energy put forward

280
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,119
during a political season put forward here when it comes

281
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,920
to these survivors getting justice, because let me tell you what.

282
00:17:53,279 --> 00:17:59,240
If anybody's ever deserved justice, it's these ladies. They encounter

283
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,839
stigma and both during and after the trial process. They

284
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,839
also often experience privacy violations as information about their identity

285
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:13,519
is shared publicly. Some even face harassment, stigma, and threats

286
00:18:13,599 --> 00:18:16,880
after they testify. One hundred percent, and that's why a

287
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,880
lot of these girls wanted to do it anonymously. There

288
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,200
are a lot of scummy people out there, folks, a

289
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,640
lot of people that have no regard for others, a

290
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,200
lot of people that will say and do hurtful things

291
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:33,400
and not even think about it. The Crime Victim's Rights Act,

292
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,880
passed by Congress in two thousand and four, provide survivors

293
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,039
with the right to be treated with respect for their

294
00:18:39,079 --> 00:18:44,119
dignity and privacy during the criminal process. However, these legal

295
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:49,160
protections have often been insufficient and under enforced. Also, less

296
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,240
attention and resources have focused on the long term impact

297
00:18:52,279 --> 00:18:55,839
of the trial process itself on the survivors. And that's

298
00:18:55,839 --> 00:18:59,480
an interesting research topic to look into. I've never really

299
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,039
looked into that, I'm sure. Look, we talked about it

300
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,680
during the trial process. You know, you're dragging up a

301
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,079
lot of memories in a lot of circumstances that have

302
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,079
been repressed. So it has to be difficult for anyone,

303
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,039
not just these women, but anyone who is giving testimony

304
00:19:17,079 --> 00:19:20,000
about them being abused. It has to be rough on

305
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:28,359
the person who is bringing the accusations forward. Maxwell's case

306
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,279
is a good example. Survivors faced grueling cross examination and

307
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:37,640
privacy violations throughout the trial. Maxwell's lawyers attacked victim's credibility

308
00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:42,440
by invoking stereotypes about substance use and delays in reporting

309
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,480
that abuse. The defense also suggested that victims lie to

310
00:19:46,519 --> 00:19:51,200
receive payouts from the Epstein Survivor's compensation program. That was

311
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,039
their whole strategy. And when you don't have the truth

312
00:19:54,039 --> 00:19:55,799
on your side, what else are you going to do?

313
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,279
What else are you going to rely on as a

314
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,799
lawyer now? And they took this case, the lawyers is

315
00:20:01,839 --> 00:20:04,519
not because they thought Maxwell was innocent or they were

316
00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:08,160
doing some great deed for society. They saw dollar signs,

317
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:13,480
folks Chi Chang, the meter was running. Two survivors also

318
00:20:13,519 --> 00:20:16,440
had their privacy violated in ways that will likely have

319
00:20:16,559 --> 00:20:20,839
long lasting consequences. Defense counsel used their real names in

320
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,599
open court after they had been promised anonymity heard by

321
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,839
those in the courtroom and three overflow rooms. Although major

322
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,000
news outlets refrained from publishing them, their names are likely

323
00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:35,440
to be shared online, leaving them vulnerable to cyber bullying,

324
00:20:35,519 --> 00:20:39,160
threats and harassment. And you would think that people would

325
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,240
know better. You would think that people would have more

326
00:20:41,319 --> 00:20:44,279
sense than to get out there and bully and threaten

327
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,960
people like this. They do not, folks. Okay, there are

328
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,200
some real derelics out there act in the fool who

329
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:57,000
like get off on being scumbags. And the whole Internet

330
00:20:57,079 --> 00:21:01,359
thing has made people way too comfortable day stuff behind

331
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,640
the computer screen that would for sure get them a

332
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,200
black eye in real life. Way too many people run

333
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,680
their yap on the computer, saved evil and vile things

334
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,039
because they know there's no repercussions. And it's one of

335
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,200
the main reasons I don't get involved in any kind

336
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:23,160
of nonsensical arguments on Twitter. What's the point some clowns

337
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,599
sitting around eating cheetos in his Batman under rus and

338
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,799
Mommy's basement, pounding away on the keyboard. I got better

339
00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:32,400
things to do, folks, and I'm sure all of you

340
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:39,000
do as well. Privacy violations like these are unfortunately common

341
00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:42,160
in sex crime cases, and they can have severe long

342
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,720
term consequences. In another high profile case, for example, a

343
00:21:46,799 --> 00:21:49,759
rape victim's name was leaked during the criminal proceeding and

344
00:21:49,839 --> 00:21:54,119
she faced harassment and threats, resulting in significant trauma. While

345
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,240
some aspects of the trial process, like the constitutional right

346
00:21:57,319 --> 00:22:01,200
to confront one's accuser through cross examination, are integral to

347
00:22:01,279 --> 00:22:04,440
our criminal system, they often come with heavy costs for

348
00:22:04,559 --> 00:22:08,440
victims in the courtroom and beyond. Well. While I agree

349
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,319
with that it is a necessary part, cross examination has

350
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,240
to happen, right, We have to get to the bottom

351
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,480
of things. That's why we have a trial, to get

352
00:22:16,519 --> 00:22:19,680
to the truth. And while it might be rough on victims,

353
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,440
you know what, strike that It definitely is rough on victims, male, woman, whatever.

354
00:22:24,799 --> 00:22:27,200
It's definitely hard to get in that box and testify,

355
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,519
but it's crucial if you want to get a prosecution if.

356
00:22:31,799 --> 00:22:36,200
While much research explores survivor experiences with early stages of

357
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,079
the criminal process, there is significantly less on the consequences

358
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:44,720
of participating in trials, particularly in the longer term. This

359
00:22:44,839 --> 00:22:48,319
gap exists in part because the vast majority of cases

360
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,319
in this country do not go to trial, making it

361
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,440
difficult to research, and that is a fact. A lot

362
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,160
of cases in America get pleated out. You know, people

363
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,720
don't have money in this country, folks, and there's a

364
00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:04,319
res and so many Americans are in prison. We'll take

365
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,880
plea deals because nobody can battle a court case for

366
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,240
a year unless you have maxwell kind of money. So

367
00:23:11,559 --> 00:23:15,079
regular common folks will plead down, get you know, maybe

368
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,720
some kind of misdemeanor instead of a felony or whatever

369
00:23:17,759 --> 00:23:21,880
it is, and keep it moving. And that's all part

370
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,920
of the scam, isn't it. It's all part of the

371
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,039
plot by the robber barons to keep us all on

372
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:35,000
this modern day slavery plantation. Basically that they have us

373
00:23:35,039 --> 00:23:39,359
on but slaves to debt, slaves to their technology, slaves

374
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:44,240
to you get the drift right. However, we can learn

375
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,160
from research conducted in other jurisdictions. A study in New Zealand,

376
00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:52,680
for example, highlighted how the verdict and sentencing impacted victims

377
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:57,440
of sexual violence, regardless of the trial's outcome. One survivor explained,

378
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,480
after the trial, it's like grief, you know, it's such

379
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,880
a massive build up to this one event and then

380
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,720
it just drops off. Another shared you go through this process,

381
00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:10,839
your adrenalinees going. Then suddenly everything's finished and life goes

382
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,960
back to normal. But there's no normal anymore, and I'm

383
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,240
struggling with it. You would have to think that it's difficult,

384
00:24:17,279 --> 00:24:19,519
for sure. You get up there and you air yourself

385
00:24:19,519 --> 00:24:22,279
out like that, You make yourself vulnerable all over again

386
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,319
after already being abused by people. That takes a lot

387
00:24:26,319 --> 00:24:30,359
of courage. And not just the girls in this case,

388
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,279
but anyone who comes forward, male, female. Anyone who comes

389
00:24:34,279 --> 00:24:37,359
forward and has the courage to get up there and

390
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,599
tell their story after being horrifically abused, has nothing but

391
00:24:42,279 --> 00:24:48,240
my utmost respect. In the aftermath of Maxwell's trial, survivors

392
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,480
have good reason to celebrate, but their journey is likely

393
00:24:51,559 --> 00:24:54,799
far from over. As Maxwell's appeals and some continue to

394
00:24:54,799 --> 00:24:58,880
seek justice through the civil system, they will probably experience

395
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,039
reverberations from the trial in their lives for some time.

396
00:25:02,599 --> 00:25:05,359
The fight the hole enablers accountable may take years to

397
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,359
be realized, if at all. As Virginia Roberts explains, it's

398
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,279
definitely not over. There are so many more people involved

399
00:25:12,319 --> 00:25:15,720
with this. It doesn't stop with Maxwell and folks. That's

400
00:25:15,759 --> 00:25:20,079
the rallying cry right there, right. I know it's a lot.

401
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,200
I know it's asking a lot of you to be

402
00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:25,359
very interested in this case for this long, years and

403
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,319
years and years until we get some justice. I know

404
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:33,319
it's asking a lot, But remember how heinous these crimes were.

405
00:25:33,519 --> 00:25:36,240
Every time you feel like you're getting grinded down, you're

406
00:25:36,279 --> 00:25:39,440
getting burned out, think about what the survivors went through.

407
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,839
Think about how brutal their lives have been, and then

408
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,799
get back into the fight because it's going to take

409
00:25:46,839 --> 00:25:48,960
all of us. I've said it a million times, and

410
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,359
I'll say it a million more. One gnat you can

411
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,319
just swat that Nat away ten million gnats. Now you're suffocating.

412
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,359
So we need to be the nats, folks, and we

413
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:03,079
need to work together on this. While pursuing these battles

414
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,240
provides a sense of purpose and justice for survivors, it

415
00:26:06,319 --> 00:26:10,960
forces many to continuously relive past traumas. Epstein survivors, no

416
00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:14,079
doubt deserve to move on with their lives, but for

417
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:19,559
so many, the story is far from over. One hundred percent,

418
00:26:19,799 --> 00:26:23,640
This story is far from over, folks. And as we

419
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,359
continue to move forward, as each day passes, and you know,

420
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:34,359
we learn more the disgustingness of it tops the day before,

421
00:26:36,799 --> 00:26:40,200
and hopefully as we continue to pursue this, as we

422
00:26:40,279 --> 00:26:44,119
continue to discuss this, those in charge, those that we

423
00:26:44,279 --> 00:26:48,039
have put in positions of power as far as attorney

424
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:53,240
generals and whatnot, continue to pursue the co conspirators because

425
00:26:53,799 --> 00:27:01,000
the survivors deserve that, we as taxpayers deserve that. And

426
00:27:01,079 --> 00:27:04,720
I would hope that the officials in charge have this

427
00:27:04,839 --> 00:27:07,640
at the very top of their to do list. Now

428
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,640
do I think that they do, No, I do not,

429
00:27:10,079 --> 00:27:12,240
But guess what they didn't have Maxwell at the top

430
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,440
of their list either, or Jeffrey Epstein. But our constant

431
00:27:16,839 --> 00:27:19,839
carrying on about it are constant yelling and screaming from

432
00:27:19,839 --> 00:27:23,880
the mountaintops. Well it was effective, folks, and I urge

433
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:28,119
you to continue as we move forward, holding not only

434
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,039
these enablers accountable, but those that we put in positions

435
00:27:32,079 --> 00:27:38,440
to pursue justice accountable as well if they don't do that. So,

436
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,519
the year twenty twenty is going to be the year

437
00:27:40,759 --> 00:27:44,519
of accountability on the Jeffrey on this podcast, on the

438
00:27:44,519 --> 00:27:48,240
Epstein Chronicles, because for too long these people have gone

439
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,240
away with not being accountable. But this year we're going

440
00:27:52,319 --> 00:27:55,200
to continue to scream about it. We're going to continue

441
00:27:55,279 --> 00:28:02,559
to talk about it until the authorities take notice. All right, everybody,

442
00:28:02,559 --> 00:28:05,200
that's gonna wrap it up for this morning's update. We'll

443
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,880
be back tonight with an evening update and we'll touch

444
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,519
more on Prince Andrew tonight for sure, and take a

445
00:28:11,519 --> 00:28:14,720
look at what occurred throughout the day as far as

446
00:28:14,759 --> 00:28:20,279
his civil case with Virginia Roberts. I've had some people

447
00:28:20,319 --> 00:28:23,240
also ask how they can help support the podcast. Now,

448
00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:25,440
I'm not really big on all of that, right, I'm

449
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,440
not really somebody who you know posts about it or

450
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,839
anything like that, but there I do have a PayPal

451
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,799
account and I will post a link in the description

452
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,200
box along with the source for those of you who

453
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,079
have asked about it. Those of you who haven't, forget it,

454
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,599
ignore it, and keep it moving. But I know that

455
00:28:45,599 --> 00:28:46,920
there's some of you out there who have sent me

456
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,599
emails asking if there was a place that you could help,

457
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,000
you know, support the podcast, and I will definitely post

458
00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:56,160
that link. If you'd like to contact me, you can
