Mega Edition: The Many Scandals Of England's Most Scandalous Royal (7/30/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

0:00
Speaker 1: No for Senate. We're gonna skip across the pond today
0:04
Speaker 1: and check in on the epic idiot, the Joe Exotic
0:08
Speaker 1: of the Windsor family. Nigel Cawthorne has a new column
0:12
Speaker 1: out in The Express, and the question he's asking is
0:17
Speaker 1: will Prince Andrew remain a full member of the Royal family?
0:22
Speaker 1: According to Nigel Cawthorn, we should have that answer in
0:25
Speaker 1: thirty days now. You should remember Nigel Cawthorn from our
0:30
Speaker 1: previous conversations. He is a historian of the monarchy and
0:35
Speaker 1: an expert in the field of the royal family and
0:40
Speaker 1: the Queen. So we've talked about several different things he
0:44
Speaker 1: has stated, and he also has a book that he
0:48
Speaker 1: wrote that we've talked about previously. But this is a
0:52
Speaker 1: guy who definitely knows the Royal family inside and out.
0:55
Speaker 1: Certainly knows the Royal family better than I could ever
0:58
Speaker 1: imagine knowing them. And he has had some pretty spot
1:04
Speaker 1: on opinions about Prince Andrew and this whole entire situation
1:09
Speaker 1: that he got himself caught up in with Jeffrey Epstein.
1:12
Speaker 1: So let's jump into this article from The Express and
1:16
Speaker 1: see what Nigel Cawthorne, author of this article has to
1:21
Speaker 1: say headline, Prince Andrew will know in thirty days if
1:26
Speaker 1: he is to remain a full member of the royal family.
1:30
Speaker 1: So what do you sometimes you're not a full member?
1:33
Speaker 1: What are you like a bastardized version of the family.
1:36
Speaker 1: I don't get it. You get like papers revoked or something.
1:39
Speaker 1: You know. I thought if you were born into the family,
1:42
Speaker 1: you're a full member. That's you know. We better hope
1:44
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen in the United States because the way
1:47
Speaker 1: people are treating each other these days over here, you're
1:49
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna end up out of your own family. Right.
1:52
Speaker 1: You might not be a royal, but you're gonna be
1:53
Speaker 1: at the black sheep table come holidays. So you better
1:59
Speaker 1: be careful if you want to stay a working member
2:01
Speaker 1: of your family out there, folks, being the second son
2:09
Speaker 1: of the monarch is never easy. At best, you are
2:12
Speaker 1: propping up the monarchy. At worst, you were forever at
2:15
Speaker 1: the beck and call of both your parents and your
2:18
Speaker 1: older sibling. And that's why they say the spare in
2:21
Speaker 1: the air, right. I read a lot of fantasy novels.
2:25
Speaker 1: I love that genre, and there's a lot of stuff,
2:28
Speaker 1: obviously about monarchies, etc. Etc. In those kind of books.
2:33
Speaker 1: And you even see it in those sorts of books too, right,
2:36
Speaker 1: you see these second third sons who were just you know,
2:41
Speaker 1: they wild out. They don't really pay attention in school.
2:44
Speaker 1: They figure that they're never going to be the king,
2:47
Speaker 1: so what does it matter. I'm just gonna run around
2:49
Speaker 1: and act the fool. And you see that play out
2:52
Speaker 1: here pretty much in real life and in real time
2:55
Speaker 1: with the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family. Usually that's
2:58
Speaker 1: contained to the pages of a novel to a book,
3:01
Speaker 1: but not in this case. Prince Harry decided it was
3:06
Speaker 1: not for him. Prince Andrew has been feuding with Prince
3:09
Speaker 1: Charles for influence ever since he turned eighteen. The Queen's
3:13
Speaker 1: father was lucky, although he saw it more as a
3:15
Speaker 1: heavy burden because he became king himself when his older,
3:19
Speaker 1: childless brother abdicated. But what if you are the second
3:22
Speaker 1: son and you desperately want to carry on with your
3:25
Speaker 1: job of propping up the monarchy, but your mere presence
3:28
Speaker 1: attracts more negative headlines than flies to honey, Well, then
3:34
Speaker 1: you're probably Prince Andrew, because this idiot has brought this
3:40
Speaker 1: all on himself. Right, Nobody forced him to go hang
3:42
Speaker 1: out with Jeffrey Epstein. What did somebody have a gun
3:45
Speaker 1: to his head and said, look, you're going to hang
3:46
Speaker 1: out with Jeffrey Epstein. Pal, you understand no, literally that
3:50
Speaker 1: none of that occurred of his own choosing. He decided
3:54
Speaker 1: it was a good idea to run around with Jeffrey
3:56
Speaker 1: Epstein because at the end of the day, what Jeffrey
3:59
Speaker 1: Epstein could do, what Jeffrey Epstein could provide him, was
4:03
Speaker 1: way more important than worrying about his image or the
4:07
Speaker 1: image of his family. So I don't really care about
4:10
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew not becoming a being a working royal anymore,
4:16
Speaker 1: or his heavy burden for being the second born of
4:19
Speaker 1: the queen? Are you kidding me? You want a heavy burden?
4:22
Speaker 1: I have a heavy burden for you. Try and wake
4:24
Speaker 1: up every single day, put on your boots, put on
4:27
Speaker 1: your hard hat, and actually go to work. All right,
4:30
Speaker 1: that's a heavy burden, Okay, not being the second born
4:32
Speaker 1: of the queen? What an absolute bunch of bs. This
4:39
Speaker 1: in a nutshell is the predicament of Prince Andrew. After
4:42
Speaker 1: he spoke in detail about his friendship with convicted sex
4:45
Speaker 1: offender Jeffrey Epstein on BBC Newsnight almost twelve months ago. Look,
4:51
Speaker 1: if it was just the friendship, I bet you he
4:53
Speaker 1: could have survived. I bet you people would have been
4:56
Speaker 1: willing to look the other way. I mean, George stepanop
5:00
Speaker 1: LIS's bitch ass thought it was a good idea to
5:02
Speaker 1: go to Jeffrey Epstein's house for a dinner because, oh,
5:05
Speaker 1: I get I can meet Prince Andrew. Really, big deal, dude,
5:08
Speaker 1: So you're gonna go hang out with a convicted pedophile,
5:10
Speaker 1: a convicted sex offender because you want to meet Prince
5:14
Speaker 1: Andrew really, So you know, it's not just that, though,
5:19
Speaker 1: It is the credible allegations, the credible allegations by Virginia
5:25
Speaker 1: that Andrew was involved and not only a friendship with
5:29
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein, but he was also involved in, at the
5:33
Speaker 1: very least sleeping with trafficked women. During the BBC interview,
5:39
Speaker 1: Andrew strenuously denied any allegations against him. He has consistently
5:44
Speaker 1: done so ever since they first surfaced in twenty eleven. Yeah,
5:48
Speaker 1: well not stringently enough. Look if this guy would have
5:52
Speaker 1: come out from the very beginning and put all of
5:55
Speaker 1: his cards on the table, showed us the different logs,
5:58
Speaker 1: that's where he's at, where he was, there were people
6:01
Speaker 1: with them. People can corroborate his story, then it would
6:05
Speaker 1: be a different ballgame. We'd be having a different discussion
6:07
Speaker 1: right now. But none of that occurred. The only person
6:10
Speaker 1: that's brought receipts, the only person whose story has been
6:13
Speaker 1: corroborated so far in any sense of the imagination, is
6:18
Speaker 1: Virginia's What do you think the prosecutors just made up
6:21
Speaker 1: these charges that gi Lang got slapped with stop being naive.
6:28
Speaker 1: He was consistently excuse me, But it was Andrew's comments
6:32
Speaker 1: on other issues that created a very bad odor. Unwisely,
6:36
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew expressed no regret during the interview about the friendship,
6:40
Speaker 1: except maybe in the vaguest possible way, and not even that.
6:44
Speaker 1: It wasn't even vague. He wasn't sorry about his relationship
6:47
Speaker 1: with Jeffrey Epstein. He was sorry that he was outed,
6:50
Speaker 1: he was sorry that he was put on blast for it.
6:54
Speaker 1: If everything was equal and Epstein was never caught up
6:57
Speaker 1: in this second go around, If Epstein had never been
7:00
Speaker 1: caught up the first time, what do you think Prince
7:03
Speaker 1: Andrew would have been flying over the Atlantic to come
7:06
Speaker 1: do the honorable thing and break up with his boy.
7:09
Speaker 1: Hell no, hell no, because at the end of the day,
7:12
Speaker 1: remember their image, their consolidation of power, and their hunger
7:18
Speaker 1: for more domination over the rest of us is what
7:21
Speaker 1: drives these people. It attracted stringent criticism from many in
7:29
Speaker 1: the media. During the interview, the Prince also offered help
7:32
Speaker 1: to the FBI with its investigations into other participants in
7:36
Speaker 1: Epstein's sex rings, saying, of course, I am willing to
7:40
Speaker 1: help any appropriate law enforcement agency with their investigations if required. Well,
7:45
Speaker 1: where are you at, dude? I don't want to hear
7:47
Speaker 1: any nonsense about Well. I offered to give a written statement. No,
7:52
Speaker 1: that's not good enough. That is not good enough. You
7:54
Speaker 1: should have came out a lot earlier, a lot sooner,
7:57
Speaker 1: and then maybe people would have been willing to give
8:00
Speaker 1: you the benefit of the doubt a little bit more.
8:03
Speaker 1: But from everything we have seen, all of the circumstantial
8:06
Speaker 1: evidence that has been provided, the email Andrew emailing Guilayin
8:11
Speaker 1: about questions about Virginia, the picture, how can anyone deny this?
8:17
Speaker 1: How can anyone deny the evidence that has been presented.
8:21
Speaker 1: The only way you could possibly deny this evidence is
8:25
Speaker 1: if you are suffering from a traumatic brain injury. It
8:31
Speaker 1: is a fact that almost a year on, we still
8:34
Speaker 1: don't know whether he has or has not shared any
8:37
Speaker 1: knowledge of his former friend with the FBI. That has
8:40
Speaker 1: become the magnet of the increasingly strident criticism the Prince attracts. Well,
8:45
Speaker 1: we know from the prosecutor's office themselves that Andrew has
8:49
Speaker 1: not provided any help. Why should we listen to Prince
8:55
Speaker 1: Andrew and his handlers. They're in the business of making
8:59
Speaker 1: sure his image is refurbished. They're making sure that he's
9:02
Speaker 1: not tarnished. That's what they're looking for. They don't care
9:05
Speaker 1: about the survivors in this case. They don't care about
9:08
Speaker 1: none of that. And this guy, as far as speaking
9:13
Speaker 1: with the FBI, we have seen zero evidence of that.
9:17
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go out on a limb here and
9:19
Speaker 1: say that Prince Andrew aka the Joe Exotic of the
9:23
Speaker 1: Windsor family, has not spoken with the FBI yet. Earlier
9:29
Speaker 1: in the year, the Manhattan attorney leading the investigation said
9:32
Speaker 1: that Andrew had completely shut the door on cooperation. However,
9:36
Speaker 1: the claim was resolutely, resolutely rejected out of hand by
9:40
Speaker 1: the Prince's lawyers. Well that's a wrap. Then let's listen
9:44
Speaker 1: to the Prince's lawyers. I mean, we all know that
9:46
Speaker 1: these lawyers are just the greatest individuals in the world.
9:49
Speaker 1: We know that they are just bereft of the moral
9:53
Speaker 1: sense and the way the way they conduct themselves, it's impeccable.
9:57
Speaker 1: They would never ever be liars or or manipulate the
10:01
Speaker 1: situation to try and get their client off. Right, come on,
10:06
Speaker 1: we all know that these lawyers, all of them for
10:08
Speaker 1: the most part, are the scum of the earth. Hell,
10:11
Speaker 1: look at Congress. It's populated by what lawyers and doctors,
10:15
Speaker 1: and give me a break. Already. All right, enough with
10:19
Speaker 1: so called polite society. I have had enough. A few
10:26
Speaker 1: months later, another twist followed. Nonetheless, US Attorney General William
10:31
Speaker 1: Darth Barr disclosed on Fox News in an extraordinary statement,
10:35
Speaker 1: he had sent an official request under the US UK
10:39
Speaker 1: Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty to Home Secretary Pretty Patel requiring
10:44
Speaker 1: her help in obtaining evidence from the Prince. And that
10:48
Speaker 1: was pretty much a blockbuster. Right to hear that. We
10:52
Speaker 1: usually don't hear that kind of stuff coming from the
10:54
Speaker 1: uh just US Department. And that's what I call them,
10:57
Speaker 1: not the Justice Department, the just US Department. That means
11:01
Speaker 1: they're only worried about themselves, right, making sure that they
11:04
Speaker 1: look good, making sure that the public doesn't think that
11:07
Speaker 1: they're screwing up, and they'll do whatever they can at
11:10
Speaker 1: all costs to make sure that occurs. But the just
11:14
Speaker 1: US Department hardly ever shows their hand, right, So they
11:19
Speaker 1: must have something going on here with Prince Andrew. They
11:21
Speaker 1: must have some sort of strategy that they're following if
11:25
Speaker 1: they're calling him out in public like this, because it
11:27
Speaker 1: definitely veers away from the normal. It appeared that Donald
11:33
Speaker 1: Trump's administration agreed with the Manhattan Attorney and had waived
11:36
Speaker 1: the confidentiality that is usually wrapped around such requests. Again,
11:41
Speaker 1: very weird, right, very odd, And I wonder why the
11:44
Speaker 1: current administration would be okay with that. What does Barr
11:48
Speaker 1: have up his sleeve? Look, I don't trust the guy.
11:50
Speaker 1: I've told you guys that from the beginning. Here reminds
11:53
Speaker 1: me of like a retread coach in the NFL. How
11:55
Speaker 1: many times do we have to have Wade Wilson as
11:58
Speaker 1: a head coach in the NFL? Same shit with Darth Barr.
12:03
Speaker 1: When Princess Beatrice married in July, the Prince did not
12:06
Speaker 1: appear in his own daughter's wedding pictures. Town and Country
12:10
Speaker 1: magazine in the US wrote bluntly that it underlined that
12:14
Speaker 1: the Prince is no longer belongs as a public face
12:17
Speaker 1: of the British monarchy. Well, yeah, that goes without saying. Look,
12:22
Speaker 1: this guy has to clear his name. That's the only
12:24
Speaker 1: way back. If we were in the old days, this
12:27
Speaker 1: guy would be locked in the Tower of London for
12:29
Speaker 1: the rest of his life, or literally sent to whatever
12:32
Speaker 1: the farthest flung shit post outwater place that the Empire had.
12:39
Speaker 1: He'd be there, stationed as some sort of lord governor
12:41
Speaker 1: or something. So he's getting off lucky that were in
12:46
Speaker 1: modern times, right, because in the old days, forget it,
12:50
Speaker 1: he's not even he wouldn't even be worthwhile to the
12:53
Speaker 1: royal family. What is the eighth in line of succession? Now, yeah,
12:58
Speaker 1: he's definitely disposable. In the old day, For some protesters,
13:03
Speaker 1: the question whether Andrew has or has not cooperated became
13:07
Speaker 1: a reason for focusing their horror at Epstein's misdeeds on
13:11
Speaker 1: rallies in front of the gates of Buckingham Palace, And
13:14
Speaker 1: again we talked about that but head nod. Kudo's cap
13:18
Speaker 1: tip to all you folks in London who got down
13:21
Speaker 1: and were out there rallying and yelling for justice, because
13:25
Speaker 1: guess what, they don't want to listen when we speak quietly,
13:30
Speaker 1: so I guess it's time to raise our voices. The
13:36
Speaker 1: anniversary of the BBC interview on eighteenth of November may
13:39
Speaker 1: well from the point of no return, may well form
13:42
Speaker 1: the point of no return for Prince Andrew. All things
13:46
Speaker 1: being equal, if it is still not clear to the
13:48
Speaker 1: public whether the Prince has spoken to the FBI, it
13:51
Speaker 1: is hard to see how he can return to being
13:53
Speaker 1: an active royal. Yeah, that's absolutely right. He can't come
13:57
Speaker 1: back and be an active royal. Are you kidding me? No,
14:00
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna sit around and be okay with that. And
14:03
Speaker 1: the people of London er pissed. They don't want to
14:05
Speaker 1: pay for this guy's travel. They don't want this guy
14:08
Speaker 1: tarnishing their monarchy. They don't want this guy this face
14:11
Speaker 1: all over the news. It's disgusting and people of character
14:17
Speaker 1: and people who are decent humans don't want to be
14:19
Speaker 1: associated with it. There is some evidence that Buckingham Palace too,
14:26
Speaker 1: has doubts about Prince Andrew's usefulness for the monarchy. Andrew's
14:30
Speaker 1: personal website, The Duke of York dot org and its
14:33
Speaker 1: separate pages for his two daughters, was a twin to
14:36
Speaker 1: his brother's website, Prince of Wales dot gov dot UK. However,
14:41
Speaker 1: today the site merely refers to a single page on
14:44
Speaker 1: his mother's website Royal dot UK backslash the hyphen Duke
14:49
Speaker 1: hyphen York backslash, whereas Charles still controls his own website. Well, yeah,
14:55
Speaker 1: we knew that that happened, right, They took that website
14:57
Speaker 1: down right away. He got knocked out, out of his patronages,
15:01
Speaker 1: all the other jazz and look, all signs point to
15:04
Speaker 1: this guy. At the very least, they're giving the appearance
15:07
Speaker 1: that he is no longer welcome as part of the
15:10
Speaker 1: royal family. That is the appearance that they're giving. At least.
15:13
Speaker 1: Is that really what's going on? Well, that remains to
15:16
Speaker 1: be seen. In August, it is widely reported in the
15:22
Speaker 1: media that the Queen's website had quietly dropped links to
15:25
Speaker 1: Andrew's Twitter and Instagram pages on its homepage. What does
15:29
Speaker 1: the future look like for the Prince? The social media
15:33
Speaker 1: uncoupling by Buckingham Palace mirrors those of the Sussexes who
15:37
Speaker 1: agreed not to use their HRH titles after leaving for America.
15:42
Speaker 1: So these two, the Megan and her husband I forget
15:46
Speaker 1: his name, whatever his name is, they leave to come
15:48
Speaker 1: to America. And since they want to move to America,
15:51
Speaker 1: well they have to get rid of their royal titles.
15:53
Speaker 1: They can't have those no more. But Prince Andrew can
15:56
Speaker 1: hang out with Jeffrey Epstein allegedly take part in the
16:00
Speaker 1: sex trafficking ring himself, and this clown is still hanging
16:04
Speaker 1: out at the castle. He's not in Timbucto yet. It
16:09
Speaker 1: raises the question whether, like the Sussexes, Andrew may soon
16:13
Speaker 1: promise not to use his HRH title and withdraw from
16:16
Speaker 1: the royal family's public life to retire like his father,
16:20
Speaker 1: Prince Philip. If there is one thing where Andrew has
16:23
Speaker 1: been unwavering in, it's his support for his two daughters,
16:27
Speaker 1: even to the point of not appearing in Princess Beatrice's
16:30
Speaker 1: public wedding pictures. Well that's probably a good thing. I mean,
16:35
Speaker 1: if he cared about his daughters that much, though, why
16:37
Speaker 1: did he use them as an alibi of where he
16:40
Speaker 1: was when he was at that Belgravia townhouse and that tramp.
16:45
Speaker 1: If he was such a good guy, he would have
16:46
Speaker 1: never brought his daughters up in that situation. No public
16:51
Speaker 1: statement has been made about the reasons why, but such
16:53
Speaker 1: a decision would have been difficult for any proud father.
16:57
Speaker 1: If there is one thing from writing his biography, it
16:59
Speaker 1: is that Prince Andrew is the consummate courtier, and he
17:03
Speaker 1: knows when it is time to pull in one's horns.
17:06
Speaker 1: I obviously not obviously not all right. This guy has
17:11
Speaker 1: terrible judgment, He has a terrible sense of the people
17:16
Speaker 1: he's around, and he truly does not care, at least
17:20
Speaker 1: from his actions. He does not care about the regular person. Okay,
17:27
Speaker 1: after a few intemperate comments that were reported earlier in
17:30
Speaker 1: the year, he has stopped making waves in the media.
17:33
Speaker 1: This is a very different Andrew from the one who
17:35
Speaker 1: for forty years resisted his older brother's greater power as
17:39
Speaker 1: the presumptive heirror. Where Charles was dependable and dutiful, Andrew
17:44
Speaker 1: enjoyed his more raffish public persona. It is, however, very
17:49
Speaker 1: important to remember that the Prince has never once in
17:52
Speaker 1: his life let the queen down. Oh he hasn't What
17:55
Speaker 1: do you call this? This isn't letting the queen down.
17:58
Speaker 1: I already told you. My mom would have dragged me
18:01
Speaker 1: to the FBI office by my ear, beating my Paisano
18:06
Speaker 1: ass the whole way with a wooden spoon. Okay, So
18:11
Speaker 1: don't tell me this guy hasn't let his mother down.
18:14
Speaker 1: This whole entire thing is a huge letdown. And it's
18:17
Speaker 1: been going on for near two decade. For a near
18:19
Speaker 1: decade and a half, he fought bravely in the Falklands War,
18:25
Speaker 1: risking his own life for the protection of the realm
18:28
Speaker 1: without hesitation. Yeah, no, no doubt. And he was so
18:31
Speaker 1: traumatized by a couple of rounds from a twenty two
18:35
Speaker 1: or something that whizzed by his helicopter that he couldn't
18:37
Speaker 1: sweat anymore. Give me a break. Soon Andrew will be
18:41
Speaker 1: a grandfather and another generation will join his family. A
18:46
Speaker 1: new clue as to what lies ahead will come on
18:49
Speaker 1: remembering Sunday on November eighth. If he isn't there, his
18:53
Speaker 1: absence will tell its own tale. You know what, Look,
18:57
Speaker 1: we will see I have the date marked on the
19:00
Speaker 1: on the calendar now and we will see what occurs.
19:03
Speaker 1: But I honestly don't think that anybody anywhere in the
19:07
Speaker 1: world is going to accept Prince Andrew aka the Joe
19:12
Speaker 1: Exotic as a working royal and shoved down our throats.
19:18
Speaker 1: I think that ship has selled. If you'd like to

Speaker 1: ProtonMail dot com. That's Bo b b Y c ap
19:28
Speaker 1: Ucci at ProtonMail dot com. You can article today is
19:34
Speaker 1: from The Express, the headline Prince Andrew shock claim Duke
19:39
Speaker 1: should be stripped of royal honors and protection. The author
19:44
Speaker 1: of this article is Kate Nicholson, and I'd most certainly
19:49
Speaker 1: agree with the headline here. This guy should be stripped
19:53
Speaker 1: of all of his honors, his protection, and most certainly
19:57
Speaker 1: any funds that are coming from the taxpayer. Now, listen,
20:03
Speaker 1: this guy has not been convicted in a court of law, right,
20:07
Speaker 1: That's not That's not the issue here. The issue is
20:10
Speaker 1: he refuses to speak to the FBI. He refuses to
20:16
Speaker 1: help the investigation and in turn has dishonored himself every
20:23
Speaker 1: which way you can imagine. And the reason he does
20:29
Speaker 1: not want to speak with the FBI is because he
20:32
Speaker 1: understands the peril that he is in. He does not
20:36
Speaker 1: have the truth on his side. Folks. This is a
20:41
Speaker 1: man who thought using a pizza party for his daughter
20:47
Speaker 1: was a quality alibi when other people, numerous people at
20:52
Speaker 1: this point, put him at tramp that night with Virginia.
20:58
Speaker 1: And yet this guy still thinks that he should have
21:02
Speaker 1: all of his titles, all of his honors, all of
21:06
Speaker 1: the money from the British taxpayers. It's obscene. There is
21:13
Speaker 1: no way in hell that this man should be a
21:18
Speaker 1: representative of the English people or of the monarchy. Strip
21:24
Speaker 1: him of all of his titles, all of his honors,
21:28
Speaker 1: all of his money until he does the right thing.
21:37
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew should be stripped of his palace, honors and protection,
21:41
Speaker 1: just like Prince Harry and Megan Markle. Now he is
21:44
Speaker 1: no longer a work in royal A commentator has claimed, well,
21:48
Speaker 1: look again, as everybody knows who's listening to this podcast,
21:52
Speaker 1: I am not some sort of royal historian. I don't
21:55
Speaker 1: know much about the monarchy besides what I've learned in
21:59
Speaker 1: my research of this case, and obviously historically speaking, you know,
22:03
Speaker 1: I understand the basic premise of the monarchy in England, right,
22:09
Speaker 1: but as far as like the inns and the outs,
22:11
Speaker 1: the nuts and the bolts, a working royal. I didn't
22:14
Speaker 1: even know what the hell that was, to be honest
22:16
Speaker 1: with you, until I started researching this case. I figured
22:19
Speaker 1: they were all working royals, right, if your royalty, I'm
22:22
Speaker 1: sure you have some sort of duty. I guess there
22:25
Speaker 1: might be some non working royals, right, dudes that just
22:27
Speaker 1: sit around collect some dough, drink some wine and dick off.
22:31
Speaker 1: I guess that's the case. But I never even knew
22:34
Speaker 1: what a working royal was. And I guess it's somebody
22:38
Speaker 1: that goes around and you know, does whatever duties the
22:42
Speaker 1: Crown has for them, be it moving the family's image forward,
22:48
Speaker 1: or working a charity, or showing up at a disaster site,
22:51
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. I guess that is what a
22:54
Speaker 1: working royal is. For me. Work has a whole different
23:00
Speaker 1: tone to it. Okay, work means, you know, waking up
23:03
Speaker 1: six in the morning, getting dressed, going to some corporate office,
23:07
Speaker 1: getting hammered by your boss and your employees if you're
23:10
Speaker 1: middle management, going home crying all night because you hate
23:15
Speaker 1: your life. Back to sleep, rinse, and repeat, over and
23:18
Speaker 1: over and over again. For forty something years, that's work.
23:22
Speaker 1: What these people are doing, that's not work to me.
23:25
Speaker 1: All right, you're out hobnobbing, you're schmoozing, you're hanging out
23:28
Speaker 1: with gun runners and Jeffrey Epstein's. Andrew announced his decision
23:35
Speaker 1: to step back from his public duties back in November,
23:38
Speaker 1: just days after his car crash. Hindenberg level interview with
23:42
Speaker 1: BBC Newsnight, he didn't step back. Old boy got grounded
23:46
Speaker 1: by mummy, all right. It wasn't his choice. What you
23:51
Speaker 1: think Andrew was just like he had enough sense, enough
23:54
Speaker 1: self awareness to be like, ah, yeah, it's probably a
23:57
Speaker 1: good idea if I extricate myself from all this, take
24:00
Speaker 1: a step back and sit my princely ass down in
24:04
Speaker 1: the back of the classroom. You really think he had
24:06
Speaker 1: that kind of self awareness. Of course not. He had
24:09
Speaker 1: to probably be bodily dragged before the Queen so she
24:13
Speaker 1: could tell him that he was grounded. The Duke of
24:18
Speaker 1: York aka the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family had
24:22
Speaker 1: answered a range of questions on his association with Jeffrey Epstein,
24:26
Speaker 1: a convicted sex offender who was arrested last year on
24:29
Speaker 1: charges of sexual abuse towards young women and girls. You
24:33
Speaker 1: know again, I get it right, that's what they want
24:38
Speaker 1: to say. His association with Jeffrey Epstein. It doesn't see
24:41
Speaker 1: him as monstrous. But let's call it for what it is, Okay.
24:44
Speaker 1: He is being credibly accused of partaking in the actual
24:49
Speaker 1: abuse of at least Virginia. So let's call it what
24:52
Speaker 1: it is. Let's not pussy foot around and say, oh,
24:54
Speaker 1: his associations, because you can live if you have those
24:58
Speaker 1: sort of associations, right, You're not going to be completely
25:01
Speaker 1: and utterly destroyed. If you just had an association with
25:05
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. Of course you're going to be called onto
25:08
Speaker 1: the carpet. The light is going to be shined on you.
25:11
Speaker 1: That's just part of the process when you're hanging out
25:13
Speaker 1: with a prolific sex child offender. But if you were
25:18
Speaker 1: just an associate of Epstein, if you were just an
25:21
Speaker 1: enabler of Epstein, you would not be getting the double
25:25
Speaker 1: barrel that you are. Andrew was not just an enabler.
25:30
Speaker 1: He is somebody who is credibly accused of abuse. He
25:37
Speaker 1: killed himself in jail last year before his trial could begin. Allegedly,
25:42
Speaker 1: US authorities are still investigating Epstein's alleged international sex trafficking
25:47
Speaker 1: ring and arrested his alleged madam, co conspirator, fellow child molester,
25:52
Speaker 1: general all around scumbag and bipedal serpent, Gilan Maxwell, who
25:57
Speaker 1: has a well known friendship with Andrew. Last month, that's
26:00
Speaker 1: an understatement, a well known friendship. How about a decade's
26:04
Speaker 1: long run of loyal friendship, of being so close that
26:12
Speaker 1: Guilain Maxwell basically had run of Buckingham Palace and could
26:16
Speaker 1: just come and go as she pleased, so close that
26:19
Speaker 1: they had a picnic a stone's throw away from the
26:24
Speaker 1: window of the Queen. Her arrest has renewed public interest
26:30
Speaker 1: in Andrew and his association with both both Epstein and
26:33
Speaker 1: miss Maxwell, and US authorities have even asked the Royal
26:37
Speaker 1: to assist with their investigation as a witness. You know,
26:40
Speaker 1: the article kind of downplays it here, right. Her arrest
26:43
Speaker 1: has renewed public interest in Andrew. Uh what interest was
26:48
Speaker 1: already there? Interest was high, there were articles coming out
26:51
Speaker 1: every single day. Basically, what it has done has really
26:55
Speaker 1: put his feet over the fire. Now whereas it was
26:59
Speaker 1: just a group of people who were interested in this case,
27:03
Speaker 1: a large group, mind you, but now the general public
27:07
Speaker 1: is interested now the general public is asking questions. And
27:10
Speaker 1: when the general public starts getting interested in what's going on,
27:15
Speaker 1: especially during the twenty four hour news cycle where most
27:18
Speaker 1: stories are dumped, then you know, as a royal or
27:24
Speaker 1: a rich person or somebody who's caught up in this,
27:27
Speaker 1: you know that the stakes are most certainly about to
27:30
Speaker 1: get higher. Andrew's legal team say they have offered to
27:37
Speaker 1: help out on at least three separate occasions, while the
27:40
Speaker 1: FBI argues against that claim. And remember this comes down
27:44
Speaker 1: to semantics, right. I'm sure Andrew and his team have
27:48
Speaker 1: offered to speak to the FBI, but not in person,
27:53
Speaker 1: not where they can be questioned and their answers can
27:58
Speaker 1: be challenged, etc. They want to give a written statement.
28:02
Speaker 1: They want to really be able to keep the Prince
28:05
Speaker 1: out of jeopardy of perjury here. And the investigators, well,
28:10
Speaker 1: their job is to set them up to walk right
28:12
Speaker 1: into something. Still, Andrew has been on the receiving end
28:19
Speaker 1: of a stream of allegations too, from Virginia Roberts. She
28:23
Speaker 1: claims she was trafficked by Epstein and miss Maxwell, and
28:26
Speaker 1: when she was just seventeen years old, the pair pushed
28:29
Speaker 1: her to have sex with Prince, Andrew on three separate
28:32
Speaker 1: occasions in two thousand and eleven. And remember, this is
28:35
Speaker 1: the crux of it. For me. This is the deal breaker.
28:38
Speaker 1: This is the punch in the gut. This is where
28:41
Speaker 1: Andrew really gets himself in big trouble. He could have
28:46
Speaker 1: survived his relationship with Epstein, folks, he would have been
28:49
Speaker 1: able to weasel his way out of that. But not this.
28:55
Speaker 1: This is a step too far. This is the sort
28:58
Speaker 1: of thing that you cannot weasel your way out of.
29:01
Speaker 1: This is the sort of thing that you must answer for.
29:08
Speaker 1: Andrew and Buckingham Palace have denied the claims. The royal
29:12
Speaker 1: told BBC Newsnight that he had no recollection of ever
29:15
Speaker 1: meeting this lady. Yeah, the picture means nothing, right, That
29:19
Speaker 1: picture is just no big deal. You know, he never
29:22
Speaker 1: met her, He doesn't remember meeting her. It wasn't like
29:26
Speaker 1: that picture was taken at some event for the royals, right.
29:29
Speaker 1: That was a very intimate setting at Keelaine Maxwell's townhouse
29:33
Speaker 1: in Belgravia, Maxwell, Virginia Andrew in the picture with the
29:42
Speaker 1: monster Epstein taking it. What do you think they were
29:46
Speaker 1: all doing back at Maxwell's Belgravia townhouse after leaving the
29:50
Speaker 1: club after plying themselves with some booze. But do you
29:54
Speaker 1: think they were going back there to sit down with
29:56
Speaker 1: Virginia and have a talk about her future, about how
30:00
Speaker 1: they could really help her, Because that is not what occurred.
30:06
Speaker 1: I won't get into the sordid details about what occurred
30:08
Speaker 1: that night, we all know them. But the fact of
30:11
Speaker 1: the matter of is this. This man says he doesn't
30:14
Speaker 1: even have a recollection of meeting her. We know that's
30:17
Speaker 1: a lie. And if he's lying about that, what else
30:22
Speaker 1: is he lying about the fact is a man in
30:28
Speaker 1: an intimate environment like that with just Geilaane, Jeffrey and
30:34
Speaker 1: Virginia is not going to tell me that he has
30:38
Speaker 1: no recollection of even meeting her. Okay, I am sorry,
30:41
Speaker 1: I am not buying that. I highly doubt the investigators
30:45
Speaker 1: are buying it, and I know for a fact jurors
30:48
Speaker 1: are not going to buy it. In an official statement,
30:53
Speaker 1: the Palace said it is emphatically denied that the Duke
30:56
Speaker 1: of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship
31:00
Speaker 1: with Virginia Roberts. Any claim to the contrary is false
31:04
Speaker 1: and without foundation. Wait a minute, so is it just
31:10
Speaker 1: sexual relations he didn't have with her? Or did he
31:14
Speaker 1: not meet her at all. I'm confused right here in
31:17
Speaker 1: the statement that was made by Buckingham Palace and the
31:20
Speaker 1: statement made by Andrew himself is conflicting. And we see
31:27
Speaker 1: this over and over and over when we read these articles, right,
31:30
Speaker 1: we see how many times that these people and their
31:34
Speaker 1: stories don't jive. Although Andrew has shun the limelight since
31:40
Speaker 1: last November, he has still met some criticism. So because
31:45
Speaker 1: he shuns the limelight, he shouldn't be criticized. And he
31:50
Speaker 1: hasn't shunned the limelight, the limelight has shunned him. Royal
31:55
Speaker 1: commentator Nigel Cawthorne, author of the twenty twenty book Prince
31:59
Speaker 1: Andrew Epstein and the Palace, recently questioned why the Duke
32:03
Speaker 1: of York still had access to the Sovereign Grant and
32:06
Speaker 1: his HRH status. I agree with that this dude should
32:10
Speaker 1: have no titles. Okay, take them all away. He's not
32:14
Speaker 1: a working royal anymore. If old boy who married the
32:17
Speaker 1: American girl, Harry or whatever his name is, isn't getting
32:22
Speaker 1: his dough anymore, isn't getting his loot anymore, doesn't have
32:25
Speaker 1: his titles anymore, why should Andrew all Harry did was
32:29
Speaker 1: leave the country. Andrew's out here molesting children, abusing girls
32:35
Speaker 1: who are sexually trafficked, and this dude gets all of
32:37
Speaker 1: his honors and he's still getting his allowance. How is
32:42
Speaker 1: that okay? Speaking on AirPod with the O mid Scobie
32:48
Speaker 1: earlier this week, mister Cawthorne said, what surprises me is
32:53
Speaker 1: that Harry and Megan say they're going to have a
32:55
Speaker 1: private life, so they're going to drop the HRH and
32:58
Speaker 1: they're not going to take any more money from the
33:00
Speaker 1: Privy Purse from the long suffering British taxpayers for sure.
33:05
Speaker 1: I mean, we're in the middle of a pandemic, man,
33:08
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that it's the same for my friends
33:11
Speaker 1: over there in England. We don't nobody has any money
33:14
Speaker 1: to be spending on dumb shit right now. People are hurting,
33:17
Speaker 1: people need help, and Prince Andrew is still drawing an
33:21
Speaker 1: allowance from the Privy Purse from the people of England.
33:25
Speaker 1: It is grotesque, folks. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex
33:31
Speaker 1: announced their intention to go financially independent earlier this year.
33:36
Speaker 1: When they step back from life as working royals. They
33:39
Speaker 1: also lost the use of their HRH titles during their
33:43
Speaker 1: their mexet negotiations with the Palace, and have promised to
33:46
Speaker 1: pay back the taxpayer's fund for the two point four
33:49
Speaker 1: million pounds spent renovating Frogmore Cottage. So Megan, Markele and
33:58
Speaker 1: Harry are going to payback the moneies that were spent
34:03
Speaker 1: from the taxpayers on their residence because they're no longer
34:08
Speaker 1: working royals. But Prince Andrew, on the other hand, this
34:12
Speaker 1: dude ain't doing shit, sitting around playing video games or
34:16
Speaker 1: whatever all day. Whatever it is disgraced princes due and
34:19
Speaker 1: he's still getting dough. He's still showing up at mommy
34:22
Speaker 1: and Mommy's room on Mondays with his hand out for
34:24
Speaker 1: his allowance. The Queen should make this dude do chores.
34:29
Speaker 1: He should be out there mucking the stables, cleaning the
34:33
Speaker 1: dinner table off, he should serve the servants, the whole flip.
34:41
Speaker 1: Mister Cawthorne continued, Prince Andrew hasn't he still uses his titles.
34:47
Speaker 1: He still gets money from the Queen, which indirectly comes
34:50
Speaker 1: from us. He added, He's not fulfilling any royal duties
34:54
Speaker 1: at all. Why shouldn't he be treated the same as
34:57
Speaker 1: Harry and Megan. I agree with that. I'm not you
35:00
Speaker 1: know again, I don't know the details of the inner
35:03
Speaker 1: struggles of the royal family. But what's good for the
35:06
Speaker 1: goose is good for the Gander. If Megan and Harry
35:10
Speaker 1: aren't getting their titles and they're not getting any money,
35:14
Speaker 1: and their only problem is the only thing that they've
35:18
Speaker 1: done wrong is that they've left the country and they
35:21
Speaker 1: decided to move to America or Canada or whatever, then
35:24
Speaker 1: how in the hell can you justify Andrew still drawing
35:28
Speaker 1: a stipend. Andrew signed off his last public statement announcing
35:33
Speaker 1: he was stepping back with his Royal Highness, the Duke
35:36
Speaker 1: of York. Yet just a handful of months later, Harry
35:40
Speaker 1: and Meghan gave up the use of their HRH titles
35:43
Speaker 1: as they were no longer working to represent the Queen.
35:48
Speaker 1: So how can they justify this? How can the Queen
35:51
Speaker 1: or the royal family, or their handlers or anybody justify this.
35:56
Speaker 1: The people of England deserve better. The people of England
36:02
Speaker 1: do not want to pay for this man. Of that much,
36:06
Speaker 1: I am sure the couple will also be paying for
36:11
Speaker 1: their staggering security costs in the US through Prince Charles
36:15
Speaker 1: rather than using any royal expenditure. And you know, look again,
36:20
Speaker 1: I don't know much about Harry and Meghan Markle and
36:23
Speaker 1: all of the inner politics that surround them, but what
36:27
Speaker 1: I will say is this, I respect people that are
36:31
Speaker 1: willing to leave a situation such as being royalty and
36:35
Speaker 1: try and make it on their own. That stirs something
36:38
Speaker 1: within me. I like self made people. I like people
36:42
Speaker 1: who have started at the bottom and built themselves up
36:46
Speaker 1: and get themselves to a place of success. Obviously, Meghan
36:50
Speaker 1: Markele and this prince dude are not starting at the bottom,
36:53
Speaker 1: but I think it's a courageous thing to do, and
36:56
Speaker 1: I kind of respect that sort of hustle, being able
36:59
Speaker 1: to tell the Queen and the royal family to get stuffed.
37:01
Speaker 1: We're gonna do it on our own, you know, like
37:04
Speaker 1: old Blue Eyes said, I did it my way. The
37:10
Speaker 1: Home Office reportedly recommended downgrading Andrews three hundred pounds a
37:14
Speaker 1: year armed guard after he stepped back down. After he
37:17
Speaker 1: stepped down back in January, sources told The Evening Standard
37:21
Speaker 1: that bosses cannot write a blank check for anyone who
37:24
Speaker 1: does not have a public role in the foreseeable future.
37:27
Speaker 1: Makes a lot of sense right. If he's not a
37:29
Speaker 1: working royal, then strip him of his guards. If the
37:33
Speaker 1: Queen wants to pay for him to get a private
37:36
Speaker 1: security guard or something, then I guess whatever. But I
37:40
Speaker 1: know that if I was a taxpayer in England, I'd
37:42
Speaker 1: be going crazy over this. This would make me mental. However,
37:48
Speaker 1: it is not known whether Andrews still uses any protection officers.
37:52
Speaker 1: Back on the podcast, mister Scobie asked, do you think
37:56
Speaker 1: it is that it is a concerted effort from the
37:59
Speaker 1: palace to p a layer of protection or is it
38:02
Speaker 1: that just comes with being the son of the current
38:05
Speaker 1: reigning monarch, regardless of who or what he has been
38:09
Speaker 1: involved with. Mister Cawthorne replied, he is the Queen's favorite. Obviously,
38:14
Speaker 1: she has a great deal of influence in this situation.
38:17
Speaker 1: And it's true, at the end of the day, she's
38:20
Speaker 1: the queen. If she wanted to put him in London
38:22
Speaker 1: Tower or whatever the hell they do to their royals,
38:25
Speaker 1: then hey, that's their business, right. But the Queen mother
38:29
Speaker 1: and Andrew obviously have a very special relationship and she's
38:34
Speaker 1: doing everything in her power to keep him from being
38:38
Speaker 1: completely disgraced. I guess he would say at this point
38:41
Speaker 1: in hopes that she can insert him back into royal
38:43
Speaker 1: life at some point. I mean, you got to think
38:46
Speaker 1: as a mother, you want to think the best of
38:48
Speaker 1: your son, right, you want to think that the allegations
38:51
Speaker 1: brought against him are not true. That it did, there's
38:54
Speaker 1: no way that it could occur. But in reality, you know,
39:00
Speaker 1: she has to understand that her son, Prince Andrew, is
39:04
Speaker 1: not the honorable man he says he is. He is
39:08
Speaker 1: not the good guy he portrays himself to be. And
39:13
Speaker 1: all you have to do is take a look at
39:15
Speaker 1: his associations and the people he ran with and the
39:18
Speaker 1: people that he broke bread with, and you'll start to
39:21
Speaker 1: get a better picture of the person Andrew truly is.
39:28
Speaker 1: But it's difficult. If they did make an announcement that
39:31
Speaker 1: he was dropping HRH and was taking no more of
39:34
Speaker 1: the taxpayer's money than it just focuses the attention back
39:37
Speaker 1: on him. He claimed that the Palace may have learned
39:40
Speaker 1: from his BBC Newsnight interview that it's best not to
39:43
Speaker 1: draw attention to it. Andrew's pr team declined to comment
39:49
Speaker 1: on the Royals titles. Yeah, you should expect to see
39:52
Speaker 1: a lot of that in the coming weeks. And months
39:54
Speaker 1: in future. No comment because at this point it does
39:57
Speaker 1: them no good. What could they possible from commenting about
40:01
Speaker 1: any of that. Nothing, So they're gonna keep quiet. They're
40:04
Speaker 1: gonna keep grinding behind the scenes. And of course, folks,
40:08
Speaker 1: we know what they're doing. They're not looking to vindicate
40:11
Speaker 1: their clients. They're simply looking for loopholes to help them
40:15
Speaker 1: wiggle off of the hook. If you'd like to contact me,

40:39
Speaker 1: All right, what's up everyone, and welcome back to the
40:42
Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. Well, it looks like Prince Andrew is not
40:47
Speaker 1: going to be at any of the services, not gonna
40:50
Speaker 1: be at any of the celebrations. Well, not because his
40:53
Speaker 1: mom doesn't want them to be there, but because well,
40:57
Speaker 1: the good old Duke of York has come down with
41:00
Speaker 1: the case of COVID. Seems a bit convenient to me
41:03
Speaker 1: that all of a sudden he has COVID and you
41:06
Speaker 1: would think that all of the people that he was around,
41:08
Speaker 1: they'd have to be quarantined as well, But we're not
41:11
Speaker 1: seeing that. And if the stories are to be believed,
41:14
Speaker 1: he has spent a lot of time with the Queen recently,
41:17
Speaker 1: so you would think that the Queen might have, you know,
41:21
Speaker 1: a bit of concern here. Now they're saying she has
41:23
Speaker 1: been tested and she doesn't have COVID, but who knows.
41:28
Speaker 1: One thing is for sure. This is a absolute stroke
41:32
Speaker 1: of luck for the monarchy. Not having Prince Andrew around
41:37
Speaker 1: is the best thing to happen to the monarchy in
41:40
Speaker 1: quite some time, because having his dumb face at this
41:43
Speaker 1: Jubilee celebration, skulking around in the background even is not
41:48
Speaker 1: the kind of optics that the royal family want to project.
41:52
Speaker 1: So him coming down with a case of convenient COVID
41:56
Speaker 1: certainly is not something that I'm guessing his brother or
42:00
Speaker 1: the other royals are crying about. Now, what I'm wondering
42:05
Speaker 1: is why would COVID even bother trying to catch Prince
42:08
Speaker 1: Andrew's gross ass. You would think COVID would be scared
42:11
Speaker 1: of him. But either way, Prince Andrew is not going
42:16
Speaker 1: to be taking part in any of these ceremonies now,
42:19
Speaker 1: and I say it's a good thing. Who the hell
42:22
Speaker 1: wanted to see this guy up there? Who wanted to
42:24
Speaker 1: see him in the background, that dumb smirk on his face?
42:28
Speaker 1: Knowing what we know, I'm sure you didn't want to
42:32
Speaker 1: see it, and I'm guessing a vast majority of people
42:36
Speaker 1: of England didn't want to see it either. This article
42:40
Speaker 1: is from The Independent, and the headline Prince Andrew tests
42:44
Speaker 1: positive for COVID and will miss Jubilee Thanksgiving service. I
42:50
Speaker 1: mean it took COVID to keep this guy away from
42:53
Speaker 1: this event. You would think that the right move would
42:56
Speaker 1: have been from Jump Street for the Queen to say,
42:59
Speaker 1: all right, look, I love you, you're my son, but
43:01
Speaker 1: you can't come. You gotta stay home and you have chores.
43:04
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need you to wash the floors like Cinderella,
43:09
Speaker 1: but you're not coming to the event. You're not going
43:11
Speaker 1: to be out here getting pictures taken and making my
43:14
Speaker 1: life difficult. Well she didn't say that, but COVID showed up,
43:18
Speaker 1: reared its ugly head and told the Queen, well, if
43:21
Speaker 1: you won't tell him not to go to the Jewbilee,
43:23
Speaker 1: then I will. This article was authored by staff. The
43:31
Speaker 1: Duke of York has tested positive for COVID and will
43:34
Speaker 1: no longer attend the Jubilee Service of Thanksgiving for the
43:37
Speaker 1: Queen at Saint Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace. Has said, now,
43:42
Speaker 1: I know there's going to be a bunch of people
43:43
Speaker 1: out there who think that he doesn't even have COVID
43:46
Speaker 1: and that this is just a convenient cover. And I'll
43:48
Speaker 1: tell you what it might be. I don't know. I
43:50
Speaker 1: haven't seen the guy's test results. I don't know what
43:52
Speaker 1: his health file says. But I will tell you this,
43:55
Speaker 1: it's pretty convenient that all of a sudden, after all
43:58
Speaker 1: these years and all the COVID outbreaks, that the Joe
44:01
Speaker 1: exotic of the Windsor family, all of a sudden has
44:06
Speaker 1: a case of the COVID. Prince Andrew was set to
44:09
Speaker 1: make an appearance at the service on Friday, June third,
44:12
Speaker 1: which would have been the largest gathering of the royal
44:15
Speaker 1: family since the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of
44:18
Speaker 1: Sussex in twenty eighteen. Now the question is how many
44:22
Speaker 1: other people in the royal family was he around? Was
44:25
Speaker 1: he around the Queen, was he around his brother was
44:28
Speaker 1: he around? You know, all of those people will have
44:30
Speaker 1: to quarantine too, right or will they be able to
44:33
Speaker 1: do whatever they want, just like Boris Johnson was able
44:36
Speaker 1: to do whatever he wants and go about their business. Meanwhile,
44:40
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, you couldn't even go and see your
44:43
Speaker 1: relative if they were dying. But if it's the jubilee celebration, Bah,
44:46
Speaker 1: who cares if there is an outbreak of COVID. Let's
44:49
Speaker 1: get on with trooping of the colors now. Again, I
44:52
Speaker 1: don't know if he had access to anyone else, but
44:54
Speaker 1: you would think with the whole family there that Prince
44:57
Speaker 1: Andrew was around at least some of them. It was
45:01
Speaker 1: also due to be the only official Platinum Jubilee event
45:05
Speaker 1: the Duke would attend. I'm sure that he was going
45:08
Speaker 1: to attend some other ones, probably behind the scenes, without
45:11
Speaker 1: less eyes there to see what he was up to,
45:15
Speaker 1: private parties or whatever is going on. And I say, fine,
45:19
Speaker 1: look at the end of the day, Fine, that's your family,
45:21
Speaker 1: have your private party. My big problem is this dude
45:24
Speaker 1: being thrown in our face. I don't want to see
45:26
Speaker 1: him up there. But he's being rewarded for what he did.
45:29
Speaker 1: He's being rewarded for paying out seventeen million big ones
45:32
Speaker 1: to somebody he never even met, and he's going to
45:34
Speaker 1: make amends for something he, according to him, never even did.
45:38
Speaker 1: So please stop with this guy. Nobody wants to deal
45:41
Speaker 1: with them, and nobody wants him at any of these events.
45:44
Speaker 1: That's for damn sure. A Palace spokesperson said, after undertaking
45:50
Speaker 1: a routine test, the Duke has tested positive for COVID
45:54
Speaker 1: and with regret, will no longer be attending tomorrow's service.
45:58
Speaker 1: So if nobody else catches it, I'm gonna have to
46:01
Speaker 1: think that this is, you know, kind of a just
46:04
Speaker 1: a likely story. So that Prince Andrew isn't at these events,
46:08
Speaker 1: he can save some face and there's no questions asked
46:11
Speaker 1: of the Queen, which is not a bad strategy honestly
46:14
Speaker 1: to go with here. If I was the Queen, I
46:17
Speaker 1: would have told him from the jump, bro, you're not
46:19
Speaker 1: being involved in this. You can come over here every day,
46:23
Speaker 1: you can come over and hang out with me, whatever
46:25
Speaker 1: you want to do, but you're not being part of
46:27
Speaker 1: the jubilee ceremony. The party is over for you. But
46:30
Speaker 1: the Queen didn't do that. She was trying to refurbish
46:33
Speaker 1: this dude's reputation, and we even had the Archbishop of
46:36
Speaker 1: Canterbury come out and say that people should forgive him, well,
46:39
Speaker 1: forgive him for what I thought. He didn't do anything.
46:43
Speaker 1: All right, folks, let's take a quick commercial break. It
46:49
Speaker 1: is understood Andrew saw the Queen in the last few
46:52
Speaker 1: days but has been undertaking regular testing and has not
46:56
Speaker 1: seen her since he tested positive. Well, what have we
46:59
Speaker 1: forgotten everything we've learned throughout COVID. I thought you could
47:02
Speaker 1: be asymptomatic for a long time with this. I thought
47:05
Speaker 1: that you could pass it without even knowing that you
47:07
Speaker 1: had it, or before you even tested positive. But now it's, ah, well,
47:11
Speaker 1: you know, everything's okay. So I don't know what they're
47:15
Speaker 1: doing over here, and I wouldn't be surprised again if
47:19
Speaker 1: this is kind of a made up situation. Now I
47:22
Speaker 1: don't have any evidence of that, right, but it just
47:24
Speaker 1: seems pretty convenient that all of a sudden, Prince Andrew
47:27
Speaker 1: has COVID and no one else has it. I thought
47:30
Speaker 1: it spread very quickly and it was very transmissible, so
47:33
Speaker 1: you would think that people who were in close contact
47:35
Speaker 1: with him. He's over at the Queen's all the time
47:38
Speaker 1: that especially an older woman like that, would come down
47:40
Speaker 1: with it. And about this strain, they're saying that it's
47:44
Speaker 1: even beating the boosted people. So she really doesn't have
47:48
Speaker 1: extra defenses against COVID, right, I don't want to see
47:51
Speaker 1: the lady get sick. But if he was a round her,
47:55
Speaker 1: you would think that there's a chance at least that
47:57
Speaker 1: she might have contracted COVID or the other people that
48:00
Speaker 1: are around her or him have contracted it. The Duke's
48:06
Speaker 1: last public appearance was at a memorial service held for
48:09
Speaker 1: the late Prince Philip in March. At the service, Andrew's
48:13
Speaker 1: surprised attendees when he walked the queen through Westminster Abbey
48:17
Speaker 1: in front of the eighteen hundred strong congregation. And how
48:20
Speaker 1: did that work out for him and her? How did
48:23
Speaker 1: the public react to that nonsense? Nobody wants to see
48:26
Speaker 1: this dude in a public position, especially on the arm
48:29
Speaker 1: of his mother, walking down the aisle acting like he's
48:32
Speaker 1: a big shot. Still. It was the first time the
48:39
Speaker 1: Duke attended a public event since he reached an out
48:42
Speaker 1: of court agreement with Virginia Roberts, who accused him of
48:45
Speaker 1: sexual abuse when she was just seventeen years old. Andrew,
48:50
Speaker 1: who consistently claimed he had no recollection of ever meeting
48:54
Speaker 1: Roberts and has denied her allegations, paid a multi pound settlement,
48:59
Speaker 1: including dad images to Roberts and a donation to charity
49:02
Speaker 1: in the civil case against them. Sure seems like a
49:05
Speaker 1: huge step for somebody who doesn't even know her. Huh,
49:09
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pay off this big settlement, but I don't
49:11
Speaker 1: even know this lady, instead of going to court to
49:13
Speaker 1: clear your name. And I wonder why you didn't do that.
49:18
Speaker 1: Guess it has something to do with that picture, doesn't it.
49:21
Speaker 1: Remember all the bs about the picture, how Virginia's team
49:25
Speaker 1: lost the picture. Yeah, right, I highly doubt that. I
49:28
Speaker 1: highly doubt that. In fact, I think that picture still exists.
49:32
Speaker 1: And that picture was one of the biggest reasons why
49:35
Speaker 1: Brettler told Andrew it was time to settle. He stepped
49:41
Speaker 1: down from royal duties in November twenty nineteen following allegations
49:46
Speaker 1: surrounding his friendship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. It was
49:50
Speaker 1: more than that The allegations played a part in it, obviously,
49:53
Speaker 1: but the real problem was him being accused of partaking
49:57
Speaker 1: in the abuse itself, and not only that, the fact
50:00
Speaker 1: that Andrew was around Prince Andrew, I mean around Jeffrey Epstein.
50:05
Speaker 1: It enabled Jeffrey Epstein. It gave him more ability to
50:09
Speaker 1: abuse and molest people because he could point to his
50:12
Speaker 1: relationship with Andrew and say, look at the kind of
50:14
Speaker 1: power I have around me. You really want to go
50:16
Speaker 1: against me, you really want to go against the grain.
50:20
Speaker 1: And the same could be said about guys like Trump
50:22
Speaker 1: and Clinton and all of the other power brokers that
50:25
Speaker 1: were around Epstein. Andrew was also stripped of his honorary
50:33
Speaker 1: military titles and royal patronages in January this year and
50:37
Speaker 1: can no longer use his HRH style. He did not
50:41
Speaker 1: appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace alongside the Queen,
50:44
Speaker 1: the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall and
50:47
Speaker 1: the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during the trooping of
50:50
Speaker 1: the Color on Thursday. Well, he shouldn't have. And it's
50:54
Speaker 1: a good thing that he didn't, right considering that he
50:56
Speaker 1: has the video they're saying, so he probably would have
50:59
Speaker 1: started in outbreak patient zero over here and had the
51:02
Speaker 1: whole royal family sick. I mean he has them all
51:05
Speaker 1: sick anyway, right, but now they'd actually have a sickness
51:09
Speaker 1: and not just be ill because of his behavior. Earlier,
51:13
Speaker 1: Buckingham Palace said the Queen had limited the balcony appearance
51:16
Speaker 1: to working members of the royal family after careful consideration. Oh,
51:21
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was careful consideration. Do you think this
51:23
Speaker 1: would have happened if the Harry and Megan didn't have
51:28
Speaker 1: their situation and Andrew didn't have his situation? Do you
51:31
Speaker 1: really think the Queen would have paired this back or
51:33
Speaker 1: would have been a complete bash. She paired it back
51:36
Speaker 1: because really Andrew was an He's an embarrassment. Also absent
51:45
Speaker 1: from the balcony were the Duke and Duchess of Sussex,
51:48
Speaker 1: who stepped down from royal duties in twenty twenty. The
51:51
Speaker 1: couple watched the parade from the Major General's office. So
51:56
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew allegedly caught the COVID and he won't be
52:00
Speaker 1: involved in any of these events. My opinion on that
52:05
Speaker 1: is good. Nobody wants to see him, nobody wants to
52:09
Speaker 1: deal with them, and if it takes COVID to do
52:12
Speaker 1: what his mother should have done by disinviting him, then hell,
52:16
Speaker 1: I'm all for it because Prince Andrew and his disgusting
52:21
Speaker 1: ways have no place in the public square or around
52:27
Speaker 1: a celebration such as this. If you'd like to contact me,
52:32

52:53
Speaker 1: is on the way. I hope that all of you
52:55
Speaker 1: are having a good day.
