Jeffrey Epstein And The Jail House Snitch "Hired" To Keep An Eye On Him · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Tonight's program, we're going to talk about Bill Mercy, and
• 0:03
  we've talked about him several times on the program previously.
• 0:07
  But as you all know, I am certainly a stickler
• 0:09
  for context, and I certainly like to follow up on
• 0:13
  articles that we have read, if at all possible. So
• 0:18
  Bill Mercy is somebody that did time with Jeffrey Epstein,
• 0:22
  and he was also Paul Mattiford cellmate for a while now.
• 0:26
  Bill Mercy was enrolled in a program that they have
• 0:29
  where people like him who are involved in blue collar crimes, etc. Etc.
• 0:33
  Are able to go and be almost mentors to new
• 0:36
  people who are coming into the prison, people such as
• 0:38
  Jeffrey Epstein. So Bill Mersey was acting in his role
• 0:42
  in his capacity as one of these so called prison
• 0:46
  friends with Jeffrey Epstein and got to know Jeffrey Epstein
• 0:50
  pretty intimately. And according to Bill Mercy, he does not
• 0:54
  think that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered. He truly believes that
• 0:58
  Jeffrey Epstein killed him. So, you know, I like to
• 1:02
  always hear both sides of the argument, right, both sides
• 1:05
  of the conversation. It's very important that we have all
• 1:07
  the information that we can possibly gather. If we're going
• 1:11
  to make decisions and we're going to come to conclusions,
• 1:13
  we're going to need to have all of the information
• 1:15
  that's possible. So hearing from people like Bill Mercy's it
• 1:19
  adds more context, right, And I'll tell you what I'm
• 1:23
  You know how I feel, Folks here on the podcast,
• 1:25
  you know how I feel. I I'll go wherever the
• 1:27
  evidence pushes me. If evidence comes out that says that
• 1:31
  Epstein killed himself and its concrete evidence, and it's tangible
• 1:34
  and we can see it, and it's, you know, legit,
• 1:37
  I'm more than willing to say the man killed himself. Right.
• 1:40
  What I'm not willing to do is believe a narrative
• 1:43
  that's spoon fed to me by the Department of Justice
• 1:46
  and by their buddies in the legacy media. Zero chance
• 1:51
  that's going to occur. I need tangible evidence. What we
• 1:54
  have we forgotten how easily we were dog walked into Iraq?
• 2:00
  Have we forgotten all of the other BS lives that
• 2:02
  the government has told us, the federal government when they're
• 2:05
  trying to push a narrative forward. I'm certainly never gonna
• 2:09
  fall into that trap again if I can help it.
• 2:11
  So I'm going to need tangible evidence, and if that
• 2:14
  evidence can be provided, then I am more than willing
• 2:18
  to believe obviously that Jeffrey Epstein did in fact kill himself.
• 2:22
  But until we get to that point, I am of
• 2:25
  the mind that there are way too many coincidences that
• 2:28
  occurred in that jail, in that jail cell for this
• 2:31
  to be a simple case of suicide. So let's jump
• 2:34
  into the article from page six and see what they
• 2:38
  have to say about Bill Mercy and his relationship with
• 2:43
  Jeffrey Epstein. This article was authored by Cindy Adams. Bill
• 2:49
  Mercy was Paul Manifort's cellmate. Bill Mercy was also jeff
• 2:54
  Epstein's sell buddy. So is Bill Mercy writing a book
• 2:57
  you can bet your behind on it. Yeah. Of course,
• 3:00
  a guy like this, with the kind of knowledge that
• 3:02
  he has intimate knowledge of people like Manafort, people like
• 3:07
  Jeffrey Epstein. Of course he's going to parlay this into
• 3:10
  a book, and he should. Right. People are interested. People
• 3:12
  want to know what's going on beneath the curtain. People
• 3:15
  always want to know what's going on in situations like
• 3:18
  we see with Epstein or even Paul Manifort. That would
• 3:22
  be fascinating reading, right, So I could see why Bill
• 3:25
  Mercy would want to write a book here, and I'll
• 3:27
  tell you what, I'll probably buy it Mercy. When I
• 3:31
  was incarcerated in Downtown Metropolitan Correctional Center, we had a
• 3:35
  room companion program for monitoring prisoners who needed special protection
• 3:40
  or who might be on suicide watch. Inmates not professionals,
• 3:44
  got quick quasi training plus forty cents an hour to
• 3:47
  sit for a four hour watch, which included periodic check ins.
• 3:51
  I was its boss, the inmate companion coordinator. So that
• 3:55
  was the program I was talking about in the opening there.
• 3:59
  Guys like Bill Mercy were chosen specifically to do these
• 4:02
  jobs because they weren't violent, they weren't a threat to
• 4:05
  society for the most part, etc. Etc. So, according to
• 4:09
  the Department of Corrections, they thought that this would be
• 4:12
  a low risk way for them to save some money,
• 4:15
  not have to pay professionals obviously, and pay these other
• 4:19
  inmates forty cents an hour to sit and monitor high
• 4:22
  risk inmates such as Jeffrey Epstein. Now, I don't know
• 4:26
  how smart that is. I don't think it's a good idea.
• 4:30
  I don't care if somebody's in there for a blue
• 4:32
  collar crime or whatever it might be. You never know
• 4:36
  the pressure that somebody's facing once they're in a prison
• 4:39
  like that, and you never know if they're being pressured
• 4:42
  into action. I mean, you know, I'm not saying that,
• 4:45
  obviously not saying that Mercy had anything to do with
• 4:48
  Jeffrey Epstein's death, But I mean, if somebody has that
• 4:52
  sort of unfettered access to an inmate, and they're you know, bribed,
• 4:56
  or they're with the wrong people, how easily could they
• 5:00
  have the access to go ahead and harms an inmate
• 5:04
  like that? So I don't think it's a good idea
• 5:06
  from the Department of Corrections point of view to do
• 5:09
  something like this. And I don't know if the negatives
• 5:13
  out if the positives out weigh the negatives with a
• 5:15
  program like that. On the surface, at least to me,
• 5:17
  it seems like a bad idea. Why was he chosen?
• 5:22
  The short version is he was a college educated, nice
• 5:25
  Long Island Jewish boy, same background, same schooling as Epstein.
• 5:30
  The rest of the answers, excuse me, The rest of
• 5:33
  the answer is flunking arithmetic. He had been sentenced to
• 5:36
  a year end a day, so he was in there
• 5:39
  for a year end a day. That's what he was sentenced.
• 5:42
  That his time was one year and one day, and
• 5:45
  considering the short time, etc. Etc. I guess that's what
• 5:48
  motivates the prison system to go ahead with this program. Again,
• 5:53
  I don't know all of the details and the nuts
• 5:55
  and the bolts, and I'm sure if it was explained
• 5:58
  to me and it's you know, entire conception, or if
• 6:00
  I went and researched it in its entire conception, maybe
• 6:03
  I'd have a different understanding and a different opinion of it.
• 6:06
  But on the surface, I just think it's a bad
• 6:08
  idea to ever have access granted, unfettered access granted to
• 6:13
  high priority inmates when we don't know the motivations of
• 6:19
  those other inmates that are granted that sort of access.
• 6:22
  It's just it's kind of a bad idea. Daily routine
• 6:27
  was up at six point fifteen, breakfast, back to sleep, lunch,
• 6:30
  then five hours, then dinner. These room companion programs meant
• 6:34
  six four hour shifts daily, So this guy was quite busy. Huh.
• 6:39
  He was really raking in the bucks at forty cents
• 6:41
  an hour. Huh. The government sure is getting what they
• 6:43
  paid for, So leave it to the government to bit
• 6:46
  it out to the lowest contractor. Right, they do it
• 6:48
  all the time. You even see it with stuff like
• 6:50
  our space program. Yeah, let's bid it out to the
• 6:53
  lowest bidder. Because that sounds like a fantastic idea. I mean, really,
• 6:57
  come on, such a terrible idea. Epstein wasn't depressed, nor
• 7:02
  was he a diva. One on one, we talked about everything,
• 7:05
  we hung out. He even asked if I needed money,
• 7:08
  even about flying a private plane once with Donald Trump
• 7:10
  to Florida. I was like a kid he went to
• 7:13
  school with. He didn't ask dumb questions about my life,
• 7:16
  and seven pm to eleven I kept him entertained, normal conversation.
• 7:22
  And we know Epstein loved to brag, right, So I
• 7:24
  think it's a good idea for investigators to talk with
• 7:27
  Bill Mercy and see whatever tru whatever Epstein said. I
• 7:32
  think that they should get that from him and add
• 7:35
  it to their investigation. Anything about Trump, anything about Clinton,
• 7:39
  anything about any of these guys. Right, you never know
• 7:42
  where that nugget is going to land. You never know
• 7:45
  where that very important piece of evidence is going to
• 7:48
  come from. So you just got to compile all of
• 7:51
  the evidence and then go back over it when you're
• 7:54
  doing your investigation portion and put it all together, and
• 7:58
  you never know what sort of nugget you're gonna stumble
• 8:01
  upon that helps fit the pieces together. He was future oriented,
• 8:06
  like how am I going to survive? He did not
• 8:09
  appear suicidal nor visibly depressed. He'd sit on the toilet
• 8:13
  sideways to see me, then lying on his back he'd
• 8:15
  go to sleep. The incongruity was I'd see him drift
• 8:19
  off saying, oh my god, I'm going to be here
• 8:21
  for the rest of my f in life. But when
• 8:24
  the judge denied him Bell, he did obsess a little
• 8:26
  on how to handle prison life, but not my job
• 8:29
  to stress him. So of course Jeffrey Epstein was kinda
• 8:33
  he was a bit shook, right, He didn't he doesn't
• 8:36
  know what's gonna happen in prison, and by all rights
• 8:39
  he should have been shook. People like him, their shelf
• 8:42
  life is not very long in prison. So a guy
• 8:45
  like that, you know there's gonna be trepidation on his part.
• 8:48
  You know, he has some real deep, dark thoughts and
• 8:52
  fears that he's battling. And if he was ever put
• 8:55
  onto the mainline, onto the main yard, it wouldn't matter,
• 9:00
  be it the Mexican gangs or the Black gangs, or
• 9:03
  the White gangs, or just some independent vigilante type. Somebody
• 9:07
  would get to him, and somebody would make him pay
• 9:09
  for what he did. And Epstein knew that, and he
• 9:13
  knew his money could only go so far. Right, Eventually,
• 9:15
  one of these people were just gonna they were gonna
• 9:17
  shank them or stick them, or do whatever it is
• 9:19
  they do to people in prison, and that would be
• 9:21
  the end of it. And Epstein knew that, and he
• 9:24
  stressed those fears to mercy for sure. Truth is, he
• 9:29
  did try to do himself in once. When I saw
• 9:32
  he had marks on his neck. I asked what the
• 9:34
  f happened? He said, I got up to get a
• 9:36
  drink of water, and he did not elaborate on the lie. Well. Also,
• 9:40
  he also said that Tartaglioni attacked him. Let's not forget that.
• 9:43
  It seems like that's a part of the story that
• 9:45
  seems to get left out all of a sudden, but
• 9:48
  it shouldn't get left out. Tartaglioni was accused of attacking Epstein,
• 9:52
  and the only investigation we had was well by the
• 9:56
  prison system and do you really think we can trust
• 9:59
  them again, folks? I do not think that they have
• 10:02
  set a pattern that is one that we should trust
• 10:06
  without any sort of scrutiny, without asking questions, and without
• 10:10
  being skeptical. Right would they trust us if we just
• 10:12
  came to them and said, all right, well we're not guilty,
• 10:15
  that's it. You should just you know, get rid of
• 10:17
  the charges against us, drop charges. No, of course they'd
• 10:20
  want to see evidence. Well, we want to see the evidence.
• 10:22
  Department of Justice that then brought him into the special
• 10:26
  housing unit. It's for troublesome boys, or suicide cases, or
• 10:30
  those afraid of the general population. Because there were really dysfunctional,
• 10:34
  bad inmates there. So did Mercy believe Epstein did himself
• 10:37
  in or did any other source do him in? I
• 10:40
  didn't know those guards around him in that special housing unit.
• 10:43
  They were end of the line. Guys rotated, they punched
• 10:47
  the time clock, they were collegiate and hung out with inmates.
• 10:50
  It wasn't a crackerjack organization. When a wave of staff
• 10:53
  was brought in afterwards to assess what happened, they said,
• 10:56
  this is the worst run prison we've ever seen in
• 10:59
  our lives. That says a lot too, because there's a
• 11:01
  lot of shitthold dumps in this country prison wise, right,
• 11:06
  a lot of really terribly managed prisons, a lot of
• 11:09
  prisons that are understaffed, underfunded, under everything. And we pack
• 11:13
  all of these people in there with no hope of
• 11:17
  reforming their lives, and we expect them to come out
• 11:20
  and be better people, when in fact, we're just giving
• 11:24
  them more of an opportunity to become better criminals when
• 11:27
  we don't offer the proper resources. That unit is a
• 11:32
  detention a hole. You just sit in a corner, lock down,
• 11:36
  twenty three hours a day. The warden hadn't seen fit
• 11:39
  to put somebody in there with him, so there was
• 11:41
  nobody to stop them. It's been said the others heard
• 11:44
  Jeffrey Aran cheets that night. So do I believe Jeffrey
• 11:47
  Epstein committed suicide? My answer is yes. Discovery Channels Henry Schlife,
• 11:53
  our three part program Who Killed Jeffrey Epstein begins Sunday,
• 11:57
  May thirty, First Mercy. I haven't seen the footage, but
• 12:01
  I'm a principal character in it. Listen. I've done freelance
• 12:04
  writing before, so am I inclined to consider writing a book? Yes? Well,
• 12:09
  I don't blame him for that. He should write a book.
• 12:11
  And also Mercy's just going on what he thinks as well. Remember,
• 12:14
  he hasn't seen footage. The only person who's seen the
• 12:17
  footage supposedly is Attorney General bar and I have a
• 12:22
  problem believing what he's telling me. Sorry, all right. He
• 12:25
  hasn't established a track record of credibility in this case,
• 12:30
  not one that I'm willing to stand behind and say, hey,
• 12:32
  this guy has been honorable here and the Justice Department's
• 12:35
  doing the right thing, because they haven't, not in this case,
• 12:38
  not now, not ever. So I'm going to be skeptical
• 12:41
  until I see some action. Note to Leo DiCaprio, call
• 12:46
  your agent should this become a movie. The Manhattan Correctional
• 12:50
  Center prisoners will not be filmed in technic color. Their
• 12:53
  authentic uniforms will be shot and living dark brown only
• 12:57
  in New York kids only in New York. And that's
• 13:00
  kind of fitting to end the article that way as well,
• 13:03
  because I talk about New York all the time and
• 13:05
  how it's a shame that I find it to be
• 13:07
  such a cesspool, considering I live that, I was born there,
• 13:10
  and I'm from there, My family is from there, My
• 13:13
  roots are there. It's such a shame that New York
• 13:15
  so called high society thinks so less of everybody else.
• 13:19
  And it's also a shame that those very people in
• 13:22
  so called polite high society, those are the very people
• 13:26
  that are making the laws in New York City. If
