Episode Transcript
[00:00:13] Speaker A: For too long, the uber wealthy celebrities, the powerful athletes, entertainers, thought they were untouchable. They could do whatever they want, whenever they wanted and get away with it. Well, as we've seen with Epstein files, those days are over. Consider this quote on Tuesday, September 4, from Capitol Hill in Washington, Washington, D.C. about the Epstein files Transparency Act. It's more than just a bill. It's about justice. Justice for survivors. Justice against the rich and powerful who stole childhoods and thought they were untouchable. Mike, that's what this is all about. Well, that's why the average person around the world, not just in America, are fascinated with the results of these Epstein files. Because these uber rich, powerful politicians, wealthy, you name it, for so long, we're getting away with unspeakable acts. Allegedly.
[00:01:03] Speaker B: Yeah, well, I mean, I think allegedly, once the guy was put in jail, we kind of realized the, the element of allegedly in the case of Epstein and certainly Ghislaine Maxwell, yes, was almost a foregone conclusion that they had been involved in this. But you're right, this is, this is a beacon to all who think they are above the law in, you know, abusing humanity.
[00:01:29] Speaker A: I think the average personnel in our modern society are pretty forgiving, like, you know, I don't care. It's none of my business. You do you want, especially Americans.
Drugs, adultery, taxes, you know, money, anything like that, whatever. But there's a line you can't cross.
[00:01:47] Speaker B: And green larceny is okay, but what.
[00:01:50] Speaker A: Happened in Epstein island is that bridge too far that you can't cross. And people on both sides, left and right, no matter what your political, no matter what you think, they would like to know who exactly was privy to this with Jeffrey Epstein, who took part of this?
[00:02:08] Speaker B: And there's so many things to ask. Who took part in this? Who took part in this whole act of debauchery? Who took part in extinguishing the life of Jeffrey Epstein? Before we learn more, who is the beast behind this machine that was allowed to go for so long, which in.
[00:02:25] Speaker A: The conspiracy theories have hundreds of websites and blog sites and podcasts who talk about what did or did not happen, who is or isn't responsible? What we do have is the missing minute of Jeffrey Epstein in jail in New York, courtesy of the New York Post YouTube channel. So check this out. It's not the most exciting thing ever, but it is a little illuminating to. What happened?
Nick's just taking care of it. Thank you, Nick.
Thank you, New York Post.
[00:02:56] Speaker B: Now this is all of the controversy about the death of Jeffrey Epstein seems to revolve around this missing one minute piece of video footage.
It seems to me, I have to just say this while we're watching it, if I may.
[00:03:11] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:03:12] Speaker B: It seems a little odd that one minute was suddenly found. Who has one minute of video? Suddenly.
[00:03:20] Speaker A: And, Mike, this is one of the most secure holding cells, jail cells, jail facilities in New York City.
[00:03:27] Speaker B: Yeah, it's.
[00:03:28] Speaker A: This is not just. This is one. This is like the top of the line.
[00:03:32] Speaker B: Yeah. It is a pillar in the middle of the city that is iconic for keeping the baddest of the bad in place.
[00:03:41] Speaker A: So coming up, you will see a security guard come into the frame and go to that phone on the right of the screen. So you will notice that as the video continues, it is quite interesting. Well, I think more than interesting, you just alluded to it, Mike.
A, that the minute was missing, but B, that New York Post was able to get their hands on it and who was holding onto it for a long time. Right.
[00:04:06] Speaker B: Who retrieves one minute of video? It's just a single minute of video.
[00:04:09] Speaker A: And this is from 2019. So here we are six years later, and now they unearth this video.
[00:04:17] Speaker B: So so far, literally nothing is occurring.
[00:04:20] Speaker A: Nothing is happening. You. You will see some people in the background. Okay, you see someone walking now in the background there. It looks like a corrections officer, because I would assume that part of their duties are making the rounds. Door checks, checking on inmates and whatnot, as you can well imagine.
[00:04:39] Speaker B: And.
[00:04:41] Speaker A: This really doesn't help. The conspiracy theories out there.
[00:04:44] Speaker B: Doesn't really. I mean, nothing. I mean, the conspiracy theories, I guarantee you will say that this was something recorded after the fact.
[00:04:52] Speaker A: This could have been timestamped.
[00:04:54] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, I. You know what? I honestly believe that.
[00:04:56] Speaker A: Okay, so here we have a corrections officer. He's making his way up this short flight of stairs. Mike. Yeah, he's going to enter into the shot by the garbage can and see, now he goes to this phone, and I believe that's a phone to check on something. Now he's checking on the door.
And I believe now at this time, this is when things are discovered.
[00:05:22] Speaker B: Well, I mean, he doesn't seem alarmed in any way.
[00:05:27] Speaker A: For the moment, no.
So the bottom line is young and old, Democrat or Republican, left wing, right wing, Libertarian, There is a thirst to know what's going on, what did happen, who went there. There are flight logs in these Epstein files. So if you're rich and famous, fc, FAA laws, flight administration, you have to note on a flight log if you flew from Miami or la Or Washington or whatever city to the island, Epstein Island. It has to be noted. And so they would know the plane, the tail number, who got there, who was part of it.
[00:06:08] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:06:09] Speaker A: And there is a lot of people alleging that Bill Clinton was there a number of times and Donald Trump was there even more times.
[00:06:16] Speaker B: I am going to go out on a limb right now and speak about the video that we just saw.
Not only do I not believe that was the missing minute, I believe that that was staged entirely.
[00:06:27] Speaker A: Oh, really?
[00:06:27] Speaker B: There was no urgency in or out of that room immediately.
There was no urgency with that guard. It doesn't feel like that was shot.
It almost feels like it was made to look as mundane as possible.
And I am suspicious still. I'm sorry that it comes to us this late, that it is just a minute and a little bit long, that it is that missing footage. Suddenly we have it. Oh, by the way, we found it. Here's that footage and nothing happens on it.
[00:06:57] Speaker A: Correct.
[00:06:58] Speaker B: Is highly suspicious still. The video did nothing for allaying my doubts.
[00:07:02] Speaker A: But beyond the video, the, the massive crowds, Capitol Hill in Washington, the every story blogger, mainstream media, podcaster, journalist, student, parent, woman's group, youth group, they're all they want to know. And this is, I think, Mike, the problem.
For so long, people felt like people of a certain status could do what they want whenever they wanted and get away with it. And a lot of people are saying, enough, no, you can't get away with it. I don't care what your status in life. If that was wrong, you should be held accountable. Am I wrong here to think that?
[00:07:42] Speaker B: I think that this has gone nowhere to help us make this a more accountable recollection of what's happened. I don't think we've learned anything from this video.
And then what we have gotten so far, only 3% of what was presented to the public was new information. Everything else had been reported. It was actual reports from the media. It was documents that we'd already seen. So what did they release? 33,295 pages of Epstein related documents have now been released. Flight logs, the video, audio recordings, such as this one minute piece of video has arrived. All of this around the outcry from the public?
[00:08:26] Speaker A: Absolutely. Well, I mean, the public and a lot of politicians got elected on this.
[00:08:32] Speaker B: And they're being held accountable by their constituents. This one simple thing. And then you've got Trump saying that old news. Why are we still talking about that?
[00:08:40] Speaker A: How do you think that's one of the main reasons he got elected?
[00:08:44] Speaker B: So, yeah, and it just seems to me that the deeper that we go, sadly, with Trump on this, the more you realize he was likely in that cachet of Palm beach rich and famous that all hobnobbed together. And he's done everything he can to distance himself. Every day, something new comes out tying Donald Trump to this guy, whether it's incriminating or not.
[00:09:07] Speaker A: Well, so here we're at. We have detailed logs of flights routes to the islands and the airports dating from 2000 to 2014. So it's 14 years of flight logs to the island, to Epstein Island.
There are how many photos of Donald Trump and Epstein together? Yeah, there's dozens. Correct.
[00:09:28] Speaker B: It seems endless. It's almost like they did a TV series together or something.
[00:09:32] Speaker A: You can't say, I just happened to run into the guy at the coffee shop. So this is where accountability does matter and journalism does matter, and finding the truth does matter. And at the very least, for that comment, I mentioned off the top for the survivors, justice for survivors. Justice against the rich and powerful who stole childhoods of a lot of young women and thought they were untouchable.
And I'm sorry if I'm being too emotional, but I'm a parent. I have two daughters. And the thought that these underage girls could. Stuff could happen to them, it makes me so upset that someone so rich and powerful could think that that's okay, Jim.
[00:10:14] Speaker B: Not only that. Okay, so now the Epstein element is. Is interesting because we have no real understanding of what was set up on Epstein Island. I mean, we should know that by now.
[00:10:28] Speaker A: But someone. No, someone does know it, but someone does.
[00:10:33] Speaker B: We have no idea what the. Give us some context into this guy's living arrangements. He had one of the most expensive homes in Manhattan. His history is wild. He's got Les Wexman's money, and he's just playing with it all over the place like it's his and living the life. I don't know that we have had any real indication what was in there. You know, what was the artwork, what was. Show us the opulence. Show us how he lived. Show us the cameras. Show us the footage. Show us something that gives context to this monster that then allows us to get past that and dig deeper. Who was the machine behind Jeffrey Epstein? What was the fuel in that tank?
[00:11:18] Speaker A: Because the, you know, who, what, when, why, all that in journalism.
I think a lot of people have a general idea of what happened.
We kind of know when, but there is the why. How did this come to be? Who orchestrated it? We're talking about the 33,000 plus pages of evidence.
[00:11:38] Speaker B: Stop giving us meaningless evidence. Like this minute we just saw meaningless. Stop distracting us with meaningless evidence. And let's get down to an investigation that hits target points that we understand the results of. Okay, here's the videos and here's how he did it. And here's where the money went. Let's do a real investigation.
[00:11:57] Speaker A: Do you know that Congress had a congressional hearing about the use of PEDs Performance enhancing drugs in baseball because they worried about the integrity of Major League Baseball? If they are going to do a Senate and congressional hearing about drugs and Major League Baseball, don't you think they need to call people to order and make them take an oath and speak the truth to what happened here?
[00:12:20] Speaker B: Not the analogy I would use, but a very good one.
[00:12:23] Speaker A: I mean, they go to great lengths because of baseball.
[00:12:25] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:12:26] Speaker A: This is, to me, a little bit more serious than the use of performance enhancing drugs in baseball overall.
[00:12:32] Speaker B: That video footage. Lame.
[00:12:33] Speaker A: No. But we've not heard the last of the Epstein files. And for a lot of people, not just in the United States, not just here in Canada, but around the world. Around the world there could be politicians and business leaders, captains of industry, entertainers who are implicated in this. And people are like, hey, I want to know.
[00:12:53] Speaker B: Indeed.
