Mega Edition: Prince Andrew And The Financial Lifeline (9/4/26 · The Epstein Chronicles

0:01
Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
0:05
Speaker 1: Today we have an article from the New Zealand Herald
0:09
Speaker 1: and this article is about how old Uncle Touchy, the
0:13
Speaker 1: Joe Exotic of the Windsor family could end up penniless
0:18
Speaker 1: if and when Prince Charles cuts him off. How long
0:21
Speaker 1: have I been talking about Prince Charles not wanting anything
0:24
Speaker 1: to do with Andrew? Is anyone going to be shocked
0:27
Speaker 1: if Charles becomes king and sends Andrew into exile? Because
0:34
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that's what he has in store for him. Alright,
0:38
Speaker 1: let's check out this article from Daniela Elser and let's
0:43
Speaker 1: see what's going on. Back in the day, a monarch
0:47
Speaker 1: had plenty of nifty options of how to deal with
0:50
Speaker 1: an errant sibling. Exile to the continent was always a
0:54
Speaker 1: popular choice, e.g. King George and the Duke and Duchess
0:58
Speaker 1: of Windsor, while the Tower of London was a reoccurring favorite.
1:03
Speaker 1: Queen Mary I imprisoned her half-sister, Princess Elizabeth, while Richard
1:07
Speaker 1: of Gloucester shoved his brother's young sons in there the
1:11
Speaker 1: minute the king died, only for the young boys to
1:14
Speaker 1: never be seen again. And that's what I mean for
1:17
Speaker 1: those of you in America, when I talk about the
1:19
Speaker 1: Tower of London, that's what I'm talking about. Put Prince
1:22
Speaker 1: Andrew there. If it was good enough for these kids,
1:24
Speaker 1: why isn't it good enough for scumbag over here? The
1:28
Speaker 1: British crown also has an unfortunate track record when it
1:31
Speaker 1: comes to a spot of fraticide. William II died after
1:35
Speaker 1: being shot in the back, with many claiming his brother,
1:38
Speaker 1: who became Henry I, was responsible for ordering the killing,
1:43
Speaker 1: while George Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence, was rumored to have
1:47
Speaker 1: been drowned in a huge vat of wine after conspiring
1:51
Speaker 1: against his brother, Edward IV. So you see, there's a long,
1:55
Speaker 1: rich history here of English monarchs killing their brothers and sisters.
2:02
Speaker 1: I wonder if Prince Charles ever looks back fondly at
2:05
Speaker 1: those times, because, let's be honest, having the power to
2:09
Speaker 1: shunt his younger brother and perpetual headache Prince Andrew off
2:14
Speaker 1: to some isolated schloss And Bavaria probably sounds pretty damn
2:19
Speaker 1: tempting right now. How long have I been saying that, folks?
2:23
Speaker 1: If I was the king, let me tell you what.
2:26
Speaker 1: This dude would be launched into orbit, literally. He would
2:29
Speaker 1: never show his face again. And the way I would
2:32
Speaker 1: hold him to that is I would be in charge
2:35
Speaker 1: of the purse string. You're not getting one single dollar
2:39
Speaker 1: of royal money unless you play to my tune, my friend.
2:43
Speaker 1: There'll be no dancing around. There'll be no going hanging
2:45
Speaker 1: out with perverts. None of it. You're going to go.
2:48
Speaker 1: You're going to learn how to crochet. You're going to
2:50
Speaker 1: learn how to knit. And you're going to sit in
2:53
Speaker 1: your bazillion dollar mansion that you're not even paying for.
2:56
Speaker 1: And you're going to shut your mouth. That would be
2:58
Speaker 1: the conversation I'd be having with him. For the better
3:02
Speaker 1: part of the last two and a half years, when
3:04
Speaker 1: the royal family wasn't dealing with whatever pyrotechnic TV complaining
3:09
Speaker 1: Harry and Meghan... Duke and Duchess of Sussex were up to,
3:13
Speaker 1: they have been contending with the human equivalent of the
3:16
Speaker 1: Exxon Valdez, aka Andrew the Perpetual, rolling publicity disaster he
3:22
Speaker 1: has become. Well, he only has himself to blame. If
3:28
Speaker 1: this guy would just fade back into the background, not
3:31
Speaker 1: show up to any more events, not come on the
3:34
Speaker 1: arm of the queen... people will start talking about other things.
3:39
Speaker 1: But as long as he's thrust into our face, as
3:41
Speaker 1: long as he's involved, he's going to be a topic
3:44
Speaker 1: of conversation. And certainly, he's going to be up for
3:48
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of mockery. And what comes along with
3:52
Speaker 1: that is the fallout rains down on the royals as well. So,
3:59
Speaker 1: They should have stopped Andrew. They didn't want this stuff
4:01
Speaker 1: to happen. They didn't want the Jubilee ceremony to be
4:04
Speaker 1: screwed up or whatever. They should have forced Andrew to
4:07
Speaker 1: speak to the FBI a long time ago. But instead,
4:11
Speaker 1: as the author so deftly states here, it became the
4:15
Speaker 1: Exxon Valdez of humanity. In 2019, his friendship with convicted
4:23
Speaker 1: child sex offender pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was thrust back into
4:27
Speaker 1: the spotlight when the financier pedophile was arrested on sex
4:31
Speaker 1: trafficking charges. Epstein's suicide, allegedly, in August of that year,
4:36
Speaker 1: followed by Andrew's ham-handed attempt to deal with the situation
4:41
Speaker 1: by speaking to the BBC... resulted in the most precipitous
4:45
Speaker 1: royal fall from grace since Harold II managed to lose
4:49
Speaker 1: England to the Normans. Yikes. Oh my. She's heaping it
4:55
Speaker 1: on here, folks. Really piling on Uncle Touchy. And he
4:59
Speaker 1: deserves it. Every single article that's ever penned about this
5:02
Speaker 1: man ever again should be filled with scorn, mockery, and
5:08
Speaker 1: absolute fire. Because he deserves nothing less. the way he
5:13
Speaker 1: trotted around scumbagging it up, acting like, oh, I'm an
5:17
Speaker 1: honorable guy, I'm going to help the FBI, and then
5:19
Speaker 1: doing none of it, launches him into an orbit of
5:25
Speaker 1: supreme scumbaggery. Earlier this year, Andrew had to pay Virginia
5:32
Speaker 1: Roberts a reported $ 21. 5 million to settle her civil sex
5:38
Speaker 1: abuse lawsuit in New York. The Duke has always denied
5:41
Speaker 1: her claims, but paid $ 21. 5 million, huh? Okay, sure. I mean,
5:46
Speaker 1: do any of you know anyone out there who would
5:47
Speaker 1: be paying $ 21. 5 million to someone they've never even met
5:52
Speaker 1: if they were alleged to have done something and not
5:55
Speaker 1: go to court over it? You better believe I'm going
5:59
Speaker 1: to court. If I have the funds and the means
6:02
Speaker 1: that Prince Andrew does, and I can hire people like
6:04
Speaker 1: Brettler and I'm innocent, we're going to court. And we're
6:07
Speaker 1: going to battle it out. We'll see whose lawyer's better.
6:10
Speaker 1: Because if I'm innocent and I know I'm innocent, oh,
6:14
Speaker 1: I'd be banking on a guy like Brettler every day
6:16
Speaker 1: of the week. But Andrew wasn't innocent. He knows he's not.
6:21
Speaker 1: In my opinion, this guy knew he was cooked. There
6:27
Speaker 1: is not a single solitary way you can spin that
6:29
Speaker 1: last paragraph to make it sound even a smidgen less
6:32
Speaker 1: horrendously damaging to the monarchy than it is. And it
6:37
Speaker 1: is Charles who is going to have to clean up
6:39
Speaker 1: this Andrew mess. He should start now. Start right now,
6:43
Speaker 1: telling his mom, look, I'm going to be the king, right?
6:47
Speaker 1: You're the queen now, but I'm the crown prince. And
6:50
Speaker 1: I'm going to need you to back me on this.
6:53
Speaker 1: We need to send this dude into exile. He can't
6:55
Speaker 1: ever be around again. And he certainly can't take part
6:58
Speaker 1: in any sort of public functions. But that hasn't happened.
7:06
Speaker 1: The Queen has been very strong in her rebuttals when
7:09
Speaker 1: people have tried to pry Andrew out of her grasp.
7:13
Speaker 1: And it's really causing her a lot of harm, harm
7:16
Speaker 1: to her legacy. And history is going to be telling
7:21
Speaker 1: the tale of that for sure. And it is Charles
7:26
Speaker 1: who is going to have to clean up this Andrew mess.
7:29
Speaker 1: Because even now, even after the Queen and Charles reportedly
7:33
Speaker 1: had to fine the tens of millions to pay Miss Roberts,
7:36
Speaker 1: Andrew's money, the source of which he has never even
7:39
Speaker 1: partially explained, being tied up in his $ 32 million Swiss
7:44
Speaker 1: ski chalet, Her Majesty seems more than willing to let
7:48
Speaker 1: Andrew get away with PR murder time and time again.
7:53
Speaker 1: And sometimes your love for somebody can really cloud your
7:56
Speaker 1: decision making. And that's when other people have to step in.
8:00
Speaker 1: And honestly, the only person who can really step in
8:03
Speaker 1: here is Charles. So we're relying on the friend of
8:08
Speaker 1: a notorious pedophile, Jimmy Savile, to step in and get
8:12
Speaker 1: rid of the friend of another notorious pedophile. Sounds like
8:18
Speaker 1: we got ourselves a shit deal here, folks. Look no
8:22
Speaker 1: further than in late March when the now 96-year-old sovereign
8:26
Speaker 1: gave him a starring role in the service of Thanksgiving
8:29
Speaker 1: for Prince Philip in a spectacularly misguided show of public support.
8:34
Speaker 1: If there was one thing that Abby moment proved, is
8:37
Speaker 1: it that while the queen remains on the throne, Andrew
8:41
Speaker 1: is golden. How in the hell could this be your
8:44
Speaker 1: favorite kid? That alone makes me question the queen's judgment.
8:48
Speaker 1: You have some other kids out there. None of your
8:50
Speaker 1: other kids are decent. All your other kids are so
8:53
Speaker 1: disgusting that Andrew's your favorite? Sure, he no longer has
9:00
Speaker 1: any official role, having been stripped of his honorary military
9:03
Speaker 1: titles and his official patronages by his mumsy in January.
9:07
Speaker 1: Nor has he left British soil since Epstein's arrest. Yes,
9:11
Speaker 1: this world might have dramatically shrunk, but he still gets
9:15
Speaker 1: to spend his days swanning around his freebie 31-room Georgian pile.
9:20
Speaker 1: Royal Lodge in Windsor, which comes fully staffed and on
9:24
Speaker 1: 98 acres of manicured grounds. Now imagine that, huh? 98
9:30
Speaker 1: acres of manicured grounds. Must be nice. Not even paying
9:34
Speaker 1: for it. Sitting around all day. Feeling sorry for yourself.
9:39
Speaker 1: What an absolute scuzzball. For now, that is. Because look
9:45
Speaker 1: a tad into the future, just peer a bit further
9:47
Speaker 1: down the road, and the picture for the disgraced duke
9:50
Speaker 1: starts to look decidedly less rosy. Think being booted out
9:56
Speaker 1: of his massive house and being truly sidelined from relationships.
10:00
Speaker 1: life for andrew the real pain might not have even
10:05
Speaker 1: started i agree with that and i've been very adamant
10:08
Speaker 1: about that the second the queen is no longer with
10:11
Speaker 1: us charles is going to slam the hammer down on
10:14
Speaker 1: this dude The reason for all of this lies in
10:18
Speaker 1: the 14th century creation, the vastly wealthy estate called the
10:22
Speaker 1: Duchy of Lancaster, where later Edward IV, he of the
10:26
Speaker 1: Winebarrel Brother Drowning, decided should belong solely to whoever was
10:31
Speaker 1: the monarch. Today, the Duchy is worth more than $ 1
10:34
Speaker 1: billion and generated $ 39 million in revenue last year, making
10:39
Speaker 1: it a tidy earner for the Queen. Yes, a couple
10:42
Speaker 1: of bucks, huh? It is out of this money that
10:44
Speaker 1: the queen keeps her children and a few extended relatives
10:47
Speaker 1: like the Kents and Glouchesters fed, watered, and in generous
10:52
Speaker 1: berry bros and red wine orders. After a hard day
10:55
Speaker 1: of plaque unveiling, a decent bottle of claret sounds like
10:58
Speaker 1: a reasonable recompense, no? I mean, come on. Go get
11:03
Speaker 1: a job. All of these royals out here that are
11:05
Speaker 1: still bilking it off of the public dime, go get
11:08
Speaker 1: a job. It is from this income that Her Majesty
11:13
Speaker 1: used to find the $ 437, 000 allowance she previously gave Andrew,
11:19
Speaker 1: technically to help him undertake official duties. How exactly he
11:24
Speaker 1: is supporting himself these days is a bit of a mystery,
11:27
Speaker 1: but we can make some educated guesses because while he
11:30
Speaker 1: might not have a job, a role, any remaining dignity,
11:34
Speaker 1: or anything to do all day but aimlessly practices putting,
11:39
Speaker 1: the 62-year-old seems to be managing money-wise. He still has
11:43
Speaker 1: that hideous green Bentley with its personalized D-O-Y number plate. Imagine,
11:49
Speaker 1: let me go get a vanity plate for my Bentley. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
11:53
Speaker 1: Doesn't even have the kind of salary that would afford
11:56
Speaker 1: people a Bentley, right? He's making as much money as,
11:58
Speaker 1: you know, $ 437, 000, decent amount of dough. Not for the prince, though.
12:03
Speaker 1: Not for the lifestyle this guy likes to live. While
12:06
Speaker 1: he may no longer have that official Buckingham Palace office,
12:10
Speaker 1: it's just him and all the post-it notes he's managed
12:12
Speaker 1: to nick on the way out, Her Majesty is most
12:15
Speaker 1: likely still bankrolling him. He also receives a naval pension
12:19
Speaker 1: of about 35 grand, and it is pretty reasonable to
12:23
Speaker 1: bet that cash is coming from the Lancaster kiddie. when
12:27
Speaker 1: Charles accedes, the Duchy of Lancaster will fall entirely under
12:32
Speaker 1: his control, as will the handing out of the 140
12:35
Speaker 1: plus grace and favor houses across the UK, which belong
12:40
Speaker 1: to the Crown. Which is to say, the coming years,
12:43
Speaker 1: all the fringe benefits with Andrew currently enjoys, are about
12:47
Speaker 1: to come exclusively under the control of his brother. And
12:52
Speaker 1: we've talked about this a lot here, and that's a
12:54
Speaker 1: reason why I'm reading this article today and adding it
12:57
Speaker 1: to the catalog, because it's so true. I feel the
13:00
Speaker 1: same way. He's going to be completely cut off, and
13:04
Speaker 1: I think he understands that. Uh-oh. For his entire life,
13:09
Speaker 1: the Duke of York has enjoyed his mother's perpetual indulgence,
13:13
Speaker 1: but those days are numbered. The reality that he will
13:16
Speaker 1: face when his brother takes over could be starkly different.
13:20
Speaker 1: Charles and Andrew have never been close as brothers, given
13:23
Speaker 1: their 12 years age difference, and their completely opposing personalities
13:28
Speaker 1: and interests. Unless you mean hanging out with pedophiles, they
13:31
Speaker 1: share that interest, no? The Prince of Wales, as far
13:34
Speaker 1: as I know, has never hung out with a Libyan gunrunner,
13:37
Speaker 1: gone goose hunting with a dictator, or been photographed lolling
13:41
Speaker 1: about a yacht surrounded by a veritable harem of topless,
13:45
Speaker 1: much younger women. No, but he's hung out with Jimmy Savile, right?
13:49
Speaker 1: That was his boy, wasn't it? Let's not act like
13:51
Speaker 1: Charles is some good guy here. In recent years, the
13:55
Speaker 1: princes have reportedly clashed over Charles' plan for a much leaner,
13:59
Speaker 1: streamlined royal family. One with the Yorks shoved to the margins,
14:04
Speaker 1: having reportedly infuriated Andrew. In 2016, the Express reported that
14:11
Speaker 1: the Prince of Wales has blocked an attempt by his
14:13
Speaker 1: younger brother to nab taxpayer-funded official roles for his daughter
14:18
Speaker 1: Princess Beatrice and Eugenie and for them to be upgraded
14:22
Speaker 1: to the Kensington Palace digs from their small St. James
14:27
Speaker 1: Palace apartments. It's all about maneuvering, right? All about, oh,
14:31
Speaker 1: my kids need to have a better role. Oh, my
14:34
Speaker 1: kids don't have enough. How much more do your kids need? Like,
14:38
Speaker 1: they don't have enough already? You gotta get agitated because
14:41
Speaker 1: it might be a leaner royal family? More recently, Charles
14:46
Speaker 1: reportedly played a role in Andrew's ousting from official royal
14:49
Speaker 1: duties both in 2019 and then this final defrocking this year.
14:56
Speaker 1: There is every chance Charles could dramatically reduce his brother's
15:00
Speaker 1: Lancaster-derived allowance and boot him out of Royal Lodge for
15:04
Speaker 1: somewhere less stately and far away from the monarchy power
15:07
Speaker 1: base in Windsor. That's definitely going to happen. There's no
15:12
Speaker 1: chance that this dude's going to be welcomed around the
15:16
Speaker 1: castle when Charles takes over. It's just not going to happen.
15:21
Speaker 1: On the housing front, it is looking increasingly likely that
15:24
Speaker 1: William and Kate, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, will move,
15:28
Speaker 1: at least part-time, to Windsor this year. One of the
15:31
Speaker 1: properties that has been mooted as a possible country home
15:34
Speaker 1: for them is, you guessed it, Royal Lodge. There is
15:38
Speaker 1: no shinier jewel in Andrew's crown than Royal Lodge. To me,
15:42
Speaker 1: the symbolism of Andrew losing the massive estate he enjoys,
15:47
Speaker 1: essentially for free, for it to be handed over to
15:50
Speaker 1: the adored, ostensibly near-perfect Cambridges, would be absolutely delicious. Well,
15:56
Speaker 1: I don't know about them being perfect or anything like that,
15:58
Speaker 1: but as long as they're not molesting kids and hanging
16:01
Speaker 1: out with pedophiles, they're a step above Uncle Touchy. Judy
16:04
Speaker 1: was boring. Hello. For more than 50 years, the Grade
16:11
Speaker 1: II historic home belonged to the Queen Mother. Imagine how
16:15
Speaker 1: much gin has been spilt on the priceless Abusson carpets,
16:18
Speaker 1: and how much Ladbrokes bedding slips the maids are still
16:22
Speaker 1: finding down the back of the silk sofas. I can't
16:26
Speaker 1: get too down on that, right? Nice little wager being
16:29
Speaker 1: put in. I guess the royals even like to do
16:31
Speaker 1: that every time, now and again. When she passed away,
16:35
Speaker 1: Queen Andrew was promptly given the mansion, moving out of
16:39
Speaker 1: his monstrosity Sunning Hill Park, freeing him up to sell
16:43
Speaker 1: the massive and ugly home that he and his ex-wife Sarah,
16:47
Speaker 1: Duchess of York, had built in the 80s. It might
16:50
Speaker 1: have taken more than five years to sell, but luckily,
16:53
Speaker 1: the son-in-law of Andrew's goose-hunting dictator chum so wanted the
16:57
Speaker 1: crumbling property that they paid $ 5. 2 million over the asking price.
17:03
Speaker 1: Talk about luck. I mean, does anyone think that was
17:06
Speaker 1: on the up and up? Especially now with all we
17:08
Speaker 1: know about Andrew? Just take a look at his dealings
17:12
Speaker 1: with Turk Selman. Yeah, but this was on the up
17:14
Speaker 1: and up, right? Her Majesty might be unwilling to make
17:19
Speaker 1: Andrew face the issues of being downgraded to some lesser
17:24
Speaker 1: grace and favor home, but Charles is a different cup
17:27
Speaker 1: of tea entirely. For much of the last 20 years...
17:31
Speaker 1: It has not only been Andrew... But also... Broke Fergie...
17:36
Speaker 1: Who was called Royal Lodge Home... While the Queen is
17:39
Speaker 1: said to have a soft spot... For her former daughter-in-law...
17:42
Speaker 1: There is reportedly no love lost... Between Charles and the Duchess...
17:47
Speaker 1: From everything I've heard... He dislikes her immensely... And it's
17:51
Speaker 1: going to play a part... I'm telling you right now...
17:53
Speaker 1: And whenever the time comes... We'll come back and revisit
17:56
Speaker 1: this episode and we'll talk about it again because Prince
18:00
Speaker 1: Andrew has a shelf life that is dwindling very, very quickly.
18:09
Speaker 1: If Charles should give the Yorks the boot from Royal Lodge,
18:12
Speaker 1: it would therefore be something of a two for one.
18:15
Speaker 1: for Andrew being chucked out by his brother and having
18:18
Speaker 1: his allowance cut would be abjectly humiliating and would be
18:22
Speaker 1: a serious blow for his hugely overinflated ego. Is there
18:26
Speaker 1: a single person aside from Fergie, their daughters, and his
18:29
Speaker 1: paid team of lawyers and spin doctors who would lose
18:33
Speaker 1: a wink of sleep at the thought of Andrew being
18:35
Speaker 1: taken down a peg or two? Well, the Lady Victoria Harvey.
18:40
Speaker 1: The Maxwells and the journalist guy who interviewed the Maxwells, maybe.
18:45
Speaker 1: But besides that, I think the whole entire world would
18:48
Speaker 1: be laughing in glee. I'd argue that Andrew being forced
18:53
Speaker 1: to pay a real price for his appalling choices and
18:56
Speaker 1: friendship with Epstein could be met with collective applause. all
19:00
Speaker 1: with the added benefit of making King Charles III look
19:04
Speaker 1: like a firm, decisive leader attuned to public sentiment. It
19:08
Speaker 1: is a way for him to ingratiate himself to the public.
19:12
Speaker 1: If he goes after his brother like that and shows
19:14
Speaker 1: the public that I'm getting rid of this guy, I
19:17
Speaker 1: think he'll end up being at least more favored than
19:21
Speaker 1: he is because nobody likes this guy. And can you
19:26
Speaker 1: blame him? Another one. Jimmy Savile as your buddy? Give
19:29
Speaker 1: me a break, man. All of these people, of all
19:32
Speaker 1: the people they can choose to chill with, hang out with,
19:35
Speaker 1: get advice from, they choose pedophiles and child molesters? Charles
19:45
Speaker 1: might have inched his way back into positive territory in
19:47
Speaker 1: terms of public approval, but... he must be all too
19:50
Speaker 1: aware of that very lukewarm reception he faces from his
19:54
Speaker 1: subjects when he becomes king. That is why a surefire
19:58
Speaker 1: PR win by, say, clipping Andrew's financial wings would make
20:03
Speaker 1: for a particularly attractive prospect. We're in a strange moment
20:08
Speaker 1: in the royal world, on the precipice of a once-in-a-century change.
20:12
Speaker 1: There will be a new world order when that happens,
20:15
Speaker 1: and there are some members of the House of Windsor
20:17
Speaker 1: who are poised to come out on top, and others
20:20
Speaker 1: who face a much colder future. So, enjoy Royal Lodge,
20:25
Speaker 1: and embossing about the gardeners while you can, Andrew. You
20:29
Speaker 1: know what they say, you don't know what you have
20:31
Speaker 1: until it's gone, and you've been forcibly relocated to rural Yorkshire.
20:39
Speaker 1: So this article really strikes home at what I've been
20:42
Speaker 1: getting at, and that's the fact that Prince Andrew, Uncle Touchy,
20:45
Speaker 1: the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family, the Crown Prince
20:49
Speaker 1: of Nothing, well, he's on his way out. His star
20:54
Speaker 1: has lost its shine for sure, and his brother, who
20:58
Speaker 1: will be the king, plans on putting it out and
21:02
Speaker 1: exterminating its light forever. If you'd like to contact me,
21:07
Speaker 1: you can do that at bobbycapucci at protonmail.com. That's B-O-B-B-Y-C-A-P-U-C-C-I
21:15
Speaker 1: at protonmail.com. You can also find me on Twitter at
21:19
Speaker 1: B-O-B-B-Y underscore C-A-P-U-C-C-I. The links that we discussed can be
21:25
Speaker 1: found in the description. Back to the Epstein Chronicles. When
21:29
Speaker 1: we talk about Prince Andrew... And him being a grifter,
21:33
Speaker 1: the reason we talk about that is, well, because dude's
21:36
Speaker 1: a grifter. And today we have an article from the
21:39
Speaker 1: Express that just strikes home to the point. This dude
21:44
Speaker 1: was spending 500,000 pounds of British taxpayer dollars to fly
21:51
Speaker 1: around and jet set around with his disgusting friends. You
21:56
Speaker 1: mean to tell me that the British people should be
22:00
Speaker 1: on the hook for that money, all of that money
22:03
Speaker 1: should be paid back. This disgrace of the nation certainly
22:07
Speaker 1: doesn't represent the English people. And now, when you start
22:12
Speaker 1: getting an eyeful of how much money truly was wasted
22:16
Speaker 1: by this knucklehead while he was off on his adventures,
22:19
Speaker 1: it's disgusting. And we all know he's never worked a
22:24
Speaker 1: day in his life, never really. Do you really think
22:27
Speaker 1: he was working on these trips? He was going to
22:29
Speaker 1: fancy dinners and hanging out at nice hotels. And, well,
22:33
Speaker 1: hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein as well. So what kind
22:37
Speaker 1: of work was he really doing? And when I say
22:39
Speaker 1: he's never done a day's work in his life, I
22:42
Speaker 1: mean not even any kind of real political work. In
22:46
Speaker 1: his role as trade guy, what was he really doing?
22:51
Speaker 1: He's just there as a representative of his mother. That's all.
22:56
Speaker 1: So it shouldn't shock anybody that the king of grifters
23:00
Speaker 1: is over here spending this kind of dough on flights.
23:05
Speaker 1: And I can promise you, none, if any, English business,
23:10
Speaker 1: as far as for the people, was done on any
23:13
Speaker 1: of these trips. Maybe the guy signed a couple of documents,
23:16
Speaker 1: or does anyone out there really think that this numbnuts
23:20
Speaker 1: was out here negotiating trade deals with anybody? He can't
23:24
Speaker 1: even pair his shoes in the mornings. He has to
23:26
Speaker 1: have somebody make sure his teddy bears are in the
23:28
Speaker 1: right places. You mean to tell me he's flying around
23:32
Speaker 1: the world and negotiating with shrewd trade ambassadors? Yeah, okay, sure.
23:38
Speaker 1: All right, our article is from the Express. And the headline?
23:42
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew spent almost 500,000 pounds a year on flights
23:47
Speaker 1: and returned with lavish gifts. So not only was he
23:51
Speaker 1: grifting and getting these flights from the English taxpayer... He
23:55
Speaker 1: was returning after eating at the trough as well with
23:59
Speaker 1: his beak completely drenched. So, who knows what he was
24:03
Speaker 1: doing over there. Probably trading, you know, favors and stuff
24:07
Speaker 1: like that, access for these lavish gifts, knowing this guy.
24:13
Speaker 1: This article was authored by Rosie Jemson. Prince Andrew's luxurious
24:19
Speaker 1: lifestyle saw him spending almost half a million pounds of
24:23
Speaker 1: taxpayers' money a year jetting around the globe. So is
24:28
Speaker 1: there ever going to be any kind of accountability for
24:30
Speaker 1: that kind of thing? And not just Prince Andrew, any
24:33
Speaker 1: of these people in general. The royals or politicians, you know,
24:39
Speaker 1: these politicians who think they have to fly first class
24:42
Speaker 1: or these politicians who think that they should use army
24:45
Speaker 1: transport planes to get to where they're going. Breaking news.
24:48
Speaker 1: You are no better than anybody else. Get your ass
24:51
Speaker 1: on a regular plane. But no, they have to do
24:54
Speaker 1: it in style, right? They have to do it in
24:57
Speaker 1: first class or they have to do it on their
25:00
Speaker 1: friend Jeffrey Epstein's plane. The Duke of York, who was
25:06
Speaker 1: nicknamed Air Miles Andy and also nicknamed the Joe Exotic
25:10
Speaker 1: of the Windsor family, the Prince of Nothing, the Prince
25:13
Speaker 1: of Assholes, and we could keep going. as a result
25:18
Speaker 1: of the frequency of his travels, is said to have
25:21
Speaker 1: racked up thousands on parties and exotic trips while flying
25:24
Speaker 1: around the world on a private jet and returning with
25:28
Speaker 1: an array of lavish gifts. And I'm guessing that he
25:31
Speaker 1: didn't get those gifts for, you know, just for showing up. Ah,
25:34
Speaker 1: the prince is here. Let's give him a couple of gifts.
25:37
Speaker 1: People are trying to get access. People are trying to
25:39
Speaker 1: buy their way into your inner circle. And as somebody
25:42
Speaker 1: who grew up in purple like he did, he should
25:45
Speaker 1: know better. But we're dealing with The Prince of Dunces.
25:49
Speaker 1: The Nance Prince. So, again, there's no way he was
25:53
Speaker 1: out here whipping up trade deals for the English people.
25:57
Speaker 1: He wasn't out here representing anybody but himself. I don't
26:01
Speaker 1: know how that could be any more apparent. An entourage
26:07
Speaker 1: of staff followed him around on his jaunts, including his
26:10
Speaker 1: personal pedicurist and a valet armed with an ironing board.
26:15
Speaker 1: Because wherever you go, they don't have an ironing board, huh?
26:17
Speaker 1: And you need a valet, bro, really? Imagine having this
26:21
Speaker 1: kind of opinion of yourself. You can't even iron your
26:24
Speaker 1: own clothes. Let me be very clear. No matter the
26:27
Speaker 1: success I ever taste, I don't care if I trip
26:30
Speaker 1: and fall face first into Bill Gates kind of money.
26:33
Speaker 1: Zero chance I'm not going to continue to iron my
26:36
Speaker 1: own clothes. That's just the way it's going to be
26:39
Speaker 1: for me. I would never let money change me like this.
26:43
Speaker 1: But with someone like Prince Andrew, it's even beyond that.
26:46
Speaker 1: It's not even money. He truly believes that he's better
26:49
Speaker 1: than all of us because he was born to the queen. Oh,
26:52
Speaker 1: I'm a Windsor. I am better than you. I am
26:54
Speaker 1: the Prince of England. Ha ha ha ha. Laughs and douchebag.
26:59
Speaker 1: But the reality is everyone's laughing at him. And it
27:03
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who you were born to, what family you
27:05
Speaker 1: were born into. You, my friend, are a disgrace. And
27:09
Speaker 1: there's no amount of BSing or weaseling around that's ever
27:14
Speaker 1: going to change that fact. In Tina Brown's revelatory book,
27:19
Speaker 1: The Palace Papers, Inside the House of Windsor, The Truth
27:23
Speaker 1: and Turmoil, she branded the entitled royal as a coronated
27:27
Speaker 1: sleaze machine. And I think that sums him up perfectly.
27:31
Speaker 1: Dude's absolutely a sleaze machine. We've heard all the stories
27:35
Speaker 1: at this point. I mean, what more do you need
27:37
Speaker 1: to hear? And again, look, I'm not here to convince
27:39
Speaker 1: anybody of anything. I don't really care what anybody else thinks. Me, personally,
27:44
Speaker 1: I've seen enough. And I know... that this dude is
27:48
Speaker 1: an absolute dork. One of them dudes that has had
27:52
Speaker 1: the whole world given to him and has squandered the
27:55
Speaker 1: whole entire thing. And again, we're not just talking about wealth.
27:59
Speaker 1: You imagine the influence that you wield as the queen's son?
28:03
Speaker 1: What kind of good could you do? How many schools
28:06
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood could use some help or could have
28:08
Speaker 1: used a patron if you weren't such an idiot and
28:10
Speaker 1: such a sicko? But no, instead, I'm going to go
28:14
Speaker 1: around and I'm going to ride on the back of
28:16
Speaker 1: my family's name. I'm going to enrich myself. And all
28:20
Speaker 1: the while, I'm not going to care about girls getting
28:22
Speaker 1: raped or trafficked or any of that as long as
28:25
Speaker 1: I'm getting mine. And that's the kind of dude we're
28:28
Speaker 1: dealing with. She also referenced Andrew's money pit that he
28:34
Speaker 1: splurged on traveling following his divorce from Sarah Ferguson, including
28:38
Speaker 1: claims his friend and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein would act
28:43
Speaker 1: as an investment advisor. Oh, well, the band's all here,
28:46
Speaker 1: isn't it? An investment advisor? Give me a break, man.
28:51
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein was acting as a provider, meaning he would
28:56
Speaker 1: provide the environment for these sick bastards to sexually abuse
28:59
Speaker 1: these girls. All this crap about him giving people advice,
29:03
Speaker 1: and that really doesn't sit with me too well. There's
29:06
Speaker 1: no way that people were giving him $ 158 million for advice.
29:12
Speaker 1: There are actual analysts out there that crush shit. You
29:16
Speaker 1: mean to tell me that the guy from Apollo Global,
29:20
Speaker 1: one of the most successful hedge funds, was getting information
29:23
Speaker 1: from Jeffrey Epstein, was getting advice from Jeffrey Epstein? The
29:27
Speaker 1: Prince of England had to get investment advice from Jeffrey Epstein.
29:31
Speaker 1: There was nobody in the banking sector of England. Isn't
29:34
Speaker 1: that where the whole banking sector pretty much started? That
29:37
Speaker 1: could give him advice? Jamie Dimon wasn't a so again
29:42
Speaker 1: none of it even sits well it's all BS and
29:46
Speaker 1: it's all just garbage narrative In 2007, the Duke is
29:52
Speaker 1: believed to have spent as much as 500,000 pounds making
29:56
Speaker 1: up to 300 trips with a total of 465,000 pounds
30:01
Speaker 1: on flights and 154,000 pounds on food and hotels. Must
30:07
Speaker 1: be nice. Must be nice to hop on a plane,
30:09
Speaker 1: go wherever you want, and have somebody else pay for it.
30:13
Speaker 1: Where do I sign up for that? If I could
30:15
Speaker 1: have the life that this guy lives... God, I would
30:19
Speaker 1: be doing everything I possibly could to give back because
30:22
Speaker 1: you're obviously blessed, bro. OK, you don't have to worry
30:25
Speaker 1: about if you break a tooth. How am I going
30:28
Speaker 1: to afford that? Oh, I broke my arm. I don't
30:30
Speaker 1: have any health insurance. Shit, what do I do? Never
30:33
Speaker 1: had any of those worries or fears his whole life.
30:36
Speaker 1: And he's out here living the life that he's living.
30:39
Speaker 1: So I don't know how anyone can not look at
30:41
Speaker 1: him and not mock him and look at him with scorn.
30:47
Speaker 1: As well as this, during a 2012 trip to India,
30:51
Speaker 1: Andrew reportedly spent thousands hiring an $ 80, 000 private jet, 80,000 pound,
30:56
Speaker 1: excuse me, and a 10,000 pound a night suite that
30:59
Speaker 1: included a gold room. Now, you really needed a gold room?
31:03
Speaker 1: Was that necessary? Or did you need that to, you know,
31:07
Speaker 1: pump your ego a little more? Give you a little
31:09
Speaker 1: rub and tug of the ego? Because that's what all
31:12
Speaker 1: these people really want, right? To be told how great
31:14
Speaker 1: they are. Well, they've come to the wrong place, if
31:17
Speaker 1: that's what they're looking for on this podcast. They'll be
31:20
Speaker 1: waiting a long time, folks. Because they're not great. Their
31:24
Speaker 1: money doesn't impress me. Neither does their station. You know
31:27
Speaker 1: what impresses me? Living your life like a decent human being.
31:30
Speaker 1: Providing for your family. Getting up every day, going to
31:32
Speaker 1: whatever your job is. Doing your business. And being a
31:35
Speaker 1: decent person in the community. That's all it takes. None
31:39
Speaker 1: of the grandstanding bullshit we see all the time. Because
31:42
Speaker 1: more times than not, the people out there grandstanding and
31:46
Speaker 1: force-feeding you how great they are, when the curtain pulls back, eh,
31:50
Speaker 1: it reveals Prince Andrew. All right, folks. The huge luxurious
31:55
Speaker 1: suite had a jacuzzi, a gym, a private spa room,
31:58
Speaker 1: and a personal butler. Oh, a personal butler, is it?
32:03
Speaker 1: You really need all of this while you're out doing
32:05
Speaker 1: trades or representing the nation? It's absurd. Why don't you
32:09
Speaker 1: just stay at the ambassador's residence like you should? Because
32:13
Speaker 1: it's always open to royalty. But of course, he has
32:15
Speaker 1: to go and live in opulence because that's just the
32:18
Speaker 1: way of it for these people. They always got to
32:20
Speaker 1: rub it in your face, right? Thumb it in your eye. Oh,
32:23
Speaker 1: you can't afford your power bill? I don't care. I'm
32:25
Speaker 1: over here on my $ 50, 000 horse. And then when I
32:28
Speaker 1: get off my $ 50, 000 horse, I'm going to get my $ 500, 000 Bentley.
32:34
Speaker 1: Enjoy whatever scraps you and your family can have for
32:35
Speaker 1: dinner tonight. At the time, Andrew reportedly said, in terms
32:42
Speaker 1: of the return on investment to the UK, bearing in
32:45
Speaker 1: mind I am part of a number of people, I
32:47
Speaker 1: would suggest that 500,000 pounds is cheap at that price. Oh, well,
32:52
Speaker 1: would you now? Imagine a $ 500, 000 trip, folks. I mean,
32:58
Speaker 1: most people go on vacation, 10 grand, 15 grand if
33:01
Speaker 1: you're pushing it. And that's living luxurious, right? You're flying good,
33:06
Speaker 1: you're eating good, everything's locked in. Prince Andrew doesn't know
33:09
Speaker 1: anything about living on a budget or saving the taxpayer
33:12
Speaker 1: dollars because it's not his money. And he's never had
33:16
Speaker 1: to control money. Look, if you don't earn the money,
33:18
Speaker 1: it's way easier to spend it, right? When you're the
33:21
Speaker 1: one who's bringing that bread in and people want to
33:23
Speaker 1: chip off some crust, whole different ballgame. Sitting around like
33:28
Speaker 1: Al Bundy, that's the taxpayer, Al Bundy, with his paycheck,
33:32
Speaker 1: just handing out money to people like Prince Andrew. It's absurd.
33:36
Speaker 1: And certainly not sustainable. Certainly not now. He defended his
33:44
Speaker 1: obscene spending habits as a little tiny spot in the
33:47
Speaker 1: ocean by comparison to many people. Well, bro, you're not
33:51
Speaker 1: many people. You're the Prince of England. You should act
33:55
Speaker 1: in a different manner. You should be an example. But instead,
33:59
Speaker 1: you're nothing more than a joke. The butt end of
34:02
Speaker 1: a joke. The Prince of Nantes. During his time as
34:07
Speaker 1: the ambassador for trade, the prince was criticized for using
34:10
Speaker 1: his travels as an excuse to try out the world's
34:13
Speaker 1: best golf courses. Doesn't shock me. We all heard the
34:17
Speaker 1: story recently how he flew over to Ireland and spent
34:20
Speaker 1: a bunch of taxpayer dollars too. All of these people
34:23
Speaker 1: in the golf, right? I don't get it. First of all,
34:26
Speaker 1: it's boring. Second of all, it's hot as hell. Third
34:29
Speaker 1: of all, I don't understand the joy of it. Maybe
34:33
Speaker 1: if I was good at it, I'd like it more.
34:35
Speaker 1: But I am terrible at golf. I don't enjoy playing golf.
34:39
Speaker 1: I don't enjoy the atmosphere. It's just not for me.
34:42
Speaker 1: So hearing somebody that wants to fly around the world
34:45
Speaker 1: to check out golf courses on the public dime is
34:48
Speaker 1: just atrocious. As if this dude can't afford to do
34:52
Speaker 1: it on his own. Why didn't you just call your
34:54
Speaker 1: buddy Jeffy? The Duke also owns a string of luxury cars,
35:00
Speaker 1: including a 220-pound Bentley and a watch collection worth thousands
35:04
Speaker 1: of pounds, which includes a 12,000-pound 18-carat Apple Watch. Yeah,
35:09
Speaker 1: because you need that. An 18-carat Apple Watch is needed.
35:13
Speaker 1: Aren't Apple Watches supposed to be worn for, you know,
35:16
Speaker 1: purposes of exercise and stuff like that? Have you taken
35:19
Speaker 1: a look at the Prince of Nantes? I'm sure there's
35:21
Speaker 1: not much exercise going on over there besides yelling all
35:25
Speaker 1: the time and bellyaching about whatever. 18-carat Apple Watch. While
35:33
Speaker 1: on one of his lavish trips, funded by the UK
35:36
Speaker 1: public in Phuket, Thailand, he stayed in an ultra-exclusive resort
35:41
Speaker 1: at 4,000 pounds a night and was snapped with topless
35:44
Speaker 1: women on a private yacht. Yeah, he's over there. You know,
35:47
Speaker 1: he's working on deals, folks. He's going to make sure
35:51
Speaker 1: that he's the man making all these deals on a
35:53
Speaker 1: yacht in Thailand. Again, a single man going to Thailand
35:58
Speaker 1: without his family or anything like that, I always have questions. Sorry,
36:02
Speaker 1: might be a little off base or whatever, but middle-aged
36:06
Speaker 1: men going to Thailand, well, you're not going to party
36:08
Speaker 1: on the beach, bro, okay? Young guys, different story. I
36:11
Speaker 1: get it. People want to travel. These older middle-aged dudes
36:14
Speaker 1: who start traveling around the world, going to these kinds
36:16
Speaker 1: of hotspots where there's a lot of, let us say,
36:21
Speaker 1: vulnerable young women or young boys, I got questions. His
36:27
Speaker 1: official income is believed to be just £ 20, 000 a year
36:31
Speaker 1: from his Royal Navy pension, with his extravagant spending, including
36:35
Speaker 1: the £ 7. 5 million he spent renovating the Royal Lodge in 2003,
36:40
Speaker 1: is raising questions over where the money came from. The
36:44
Speaker 1: questions will never be answered, not with anything legitimate. Ah,
36:47
Speaker 1: he's the prince. Ah, mommy paid for it. Ah, brother
36:50
Speaker 1: knucklehead paid for it. The reality is, this dude has
36:54
Speaker 1: probably accepted money from some of the worst criminals going.
36:58
Speaker 1: Arms dealers and the rest of it. It is believed
37:04
Speaker 1: he no longer receives his annual £ 249, 000 handout from the
37:09
Speaker 1: sovereign grant. I'm sure he's getting something on the kite
37:12
Speaker 1: from mom. You know, when you'd go see your grandma
37:15
Speaker 1: back in the day, at least Italian, see your grandma
37:17
Speaker 1: or your grandpa, they'd have £ 100, 000. curled up in their
37:20
Speaker 1: palm for you, they'd give you the old palm, then
37:22
Speaker 1: look at you and tell you to shh so you
37:23
Speaker 1: don't tell your parents, so it doesn't have to go
37:25
Speaker 1: in the piggy bank, right? Well, you know that's how
37:27
Speaker 1: the Queen's working with Prince Andrew now. During his excursions,
37:32
Speaker 1: the royal would return with lavish gifts and new foreign contacts,
37:36
Speaker 1: some of whom Miss Brown described as far beyond what
37:39
Speaker 1: was explicable or acceptable. Some of Andrew's shady pals included
37:45
Speaker 1: the former president of Tunisia's son-in-law, Mohamed Saker El-Materi, who
37:50
Speaker 1: was later sentenced to 16 years behind bars for corruption
37:53
Speaker 1: and fraud, as well as Libyan gun smuggler Tarek Ketouni,
37:57
Speaker 1: who was a guest at Princess Beatrice's 21st birthday party
38:01
Speaker 1: and invited to Eugenie's wedding. Just last month, the disgraced
38:06
Speaker 1: royal was embroiled in another scandal, which went to the
38:09
Speaker 1: high court amid claims he was given $ 1 million by
38:13
Speaker 1: an alleged conman accused of swindling a Turkish millionaireess out
38:17
Speaker 1: of her $ 40 million fortune. Remember that story? That hasn't
38:22
Speaker 1: gone anywhere yet either. He's going to have to answer
38:24
Speaker 1: for that. So this dude's still embroiled in a bunch
38:27
Speaker 1: of nonsense, and it's just going to continue to pile
38:29
Speaker 1: on like we've talked about. Once you have one hole
38:31
Speaker 1: in that dam and one crack, well, those cracks become
38:34
Speaker 1: a lot bigger, right? And where there were little leaks before,
38:37
Speaker 1: now you have water gushing. Andrew and his former wife,
38:44
Speaker 1: Sarah Ferguson, allegedly received suspicious payments on orders of former
38:49
Speaker 1: Goldman Sachs banker Selman Turk as part of a $ 40
38:53
Speaker 1: million scam. And we all know anytime Goldman Sachs is
38:57
Speaker 1: involved in anything, eh, I'm going to go to the
39:00
Speaker 1: side of they're probably engaging in something criminal. And I
39:04
Speaker 1: say that with a bit of jest, right? Japing around
39:07
Speaker 1: a bit. But the financial sector is just riddled with
39:10
Speaker 1: people who care nothing about what's right and only care
39:14
Speaker 1: about enriching themselves. And somehow it seems that our boy here,
39:19
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew, had an uncanny ability to find his way
39:25
Speaker 1: to all of those people's tables. And the worst part
39:28
Speaker 1: is he did it. on the public's dime. If you'd
39:32
Speaker 1: like to contact me, you can do that at bobbycapucci
39:35
Speaker 1: at protonmail.com. That's B-O-B-B-Y-C-A-P-U-C-C-I at protonmail.com. You can also find
39:44
Speaker 1: me on Twitter at B-O-B-B-Y underscore C-A-P-U-C-C-I. The link that
39:50
Speaker 1: we discussed can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone,
39:54
Speaker 1: and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. Well, folks, the
39:59
Speaker 1: palace spin machine is working overtime these days. Now they
40:04
Speaker 1: want you to know that Prince Andrew's payoff to Virginia
40:07
Speaker 1: Roberts was only 3 million pounds and it wasn't the
40:11
Speaker 1: 12 million that was first reported. I mean, really? Are
40:16
Speaker 1: we really supposed to believe anything coming out of Prince
40:18
Speaker 1: Andrew's camp? And even if it's real, if it's true,
40:23
Speaker 1: why should anyone believe anything that he or his camp
40:26
Speaker 1: has to say at this point? We have an article
40:31
Speaker 1: from The Sun talking about this. And according to a source,
40:36
Speaker 1: sources say, no name to the source of course, it
40:40
Speaker 1: was only 3 million, I mean 3 million pounds, despite
40:43
Speaker 1: the reports of 12 million pounds. And the reality of
40:48
Speaker 1: the situation is, we don't know how much it was.
40:52
Speaker 1: My guess is, boys and company are not going to
40:55
Speaker 1: settle for just a couple of bucks on the dollar.
41:00
Speaker 1: And my guess is the number that you see here,
41:02
Speaker 1: the three million pounds, is how much was given to
41:05
Speaker 1: her charity. That's my guess. But again, we're never going
41:09
Speaker 1: to know. This is stuff that is all sealed and
41:12
Speaker 1: locked into the deal. But one thing that's definitely going
41:15
Speaker 1: to happen is Virginia has already said that she's going
41:19
Speaker 1: to write a tell-all book and talk about everything that happened.
41:25
Speaker 1: So that should be pretty interesting when that drops, huh? Today,
41:31
Speaker 1: we have an article, like I was saying, from The Sun.
41:34
Speaker 1: The author of this article is Chris Pollard. Headline, Prince's Sum.
41:38
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew's payoff to sex accuser, sex accuser, you mean victim,
41:42
Speaker 1: you mean survivor, Virginia Roberts, was as little as 3
41:46
Speaker 1: million pounds, despite reports of 12 million. And again, it
41:51
Speaker 1: must be a slow time over in the royal world
41:54
Speaker 1: for them to be coming up and concocting new ideas. Oh,
41:57
Speaker 1: it was really only 3 million. We were just kidding
41:59
Speaker 1: with you. The sources before were wrong, but you should
42:03
Speaker 1: believe us because we're from the Duke of Windsor's camp.
42:06
Speaker 1: We're from the Duke of York's camp. Give me a break.
42:12
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew's payoff to sex abuse survivor Virginia Roberts was
42:18
Speaker 1: little as a quarter of the reported 12 million pounds.
42:22
Speaker 1: Sources say his lawyers negotiated a cut price deal of
42:25
Speaker 1: 3 million to 5 million pounds. Again, I don't believe that.
42:30
Speaker 1: But that's what these sources are saying, so we'll add
42:33
Speaker 1: it to the catalog. And, you know, like usual, I'll
42:35
Speaker 1: let you believe whatever you want to believe. I'm not
42:38
Speaker 1: in the business of trying to move people's opinions one
42:43
Speaker 1: way or the other. We talk about this story. I
42:45
Speaker 1: give you the way I look at it. And then
42:47
Speaker 1: whatever happens after that, well, that's up to you. The
42:51
Speaker 1: idea for me is to open up doors here. Not to...
42:56
Speaker 1: storm into them and figure this all out on my own.
42:59
Speaker 1: That's not my goal. I'm not a journalist. I'm not,
43:02
Speaker 1: you know, an investigative journalist, if you will. But what
43:06
Speaker 1: we do here is we open the door for you
43:10
Speaker 1: to dig deeper on your own. Because at the end
43:13
Speaker 1: of the day, that's what it's all about, right? You
43:15
Speaker 1: coming to your conclusions on your own. You don't need
43:17
Speaker 1: some dumbass like me to tell you how to think.
43:21
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of people out there that are
43:23
Speaker 1: trying to make you more malleable. trying to get you
43:26
Speaker 1: in line to think exactly how they think. That is
43:29
Speaker 1: one thing you're never ever going to run into here
43:32
Speaker 1: on this podcast. That was as much money as the
43:38
Speaker 1: disgraced Duke could scrape together quickly to halt her civil lawsuit.
43:43
Speaker 1: So does that sound like it makes sense to you?
43:45
Speaker 1: Why would Boys and Company be so keen to get
43:49
Speaker 1: on board and halt things quickly, considering they obviously have
43:53
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew by the he-hoos, Why in the world would
43:56
Speaker 1: they try and screw themselves out of millions and millions
44:00
Speaker 1: of dollars? Doesn't make very much sense to me. It
44:05
Speaker 1: may explain why Ms. Roberts, 38, was not forced to
44:08
Speaker 1: sign a gagging order as part of the deal and
44:11
Speaker 1: is now free to write a tell-all book, which she
44:14
Speaker 1: promises to do. Or they knew that they were screwed
44:19
Speaker 1: and they had to pay out. Again, my guess is,
44:22
Speaker 1: and again, folks, this is a guess. Remember, I don't
44:25
Speaker 1: have all this inside information that some other folks do.
44:28
Speaker 1: You know, people who sit on Twitter all day and
44:30
Speaker 1: pound out 5,000 comments on Twitter. I don't know how
44:34
Speaker 1: they have so much time to sit there and, you know,
44:37
Speaker 1: spread all kinds of rumors as well as digging deep
44:40
Speaker 1: into the story, but here we are. For me, it's
44:43
Speaker 1: always been the fact that Virginia's team, they were in
44:48
Speaker 1: possession of the picture of Virginia and Prince Andrew, the original,
44:52
Speaker 1: the whole time. And they were just pulling the old
44:55
Speaker 1: okey-doke on these guys, acting like they didn't have it.
44:59
Speaker 1: And once Brettler and Singer found out that the picture
45:01
Speaker 1: was real and in her possession, that's when they decided
45:04
Speaker 1: to deal. That's the theory I've been working off of
45:10
Speaker 1: since this whole settlement went down. Because nothing else really
45:13
Speaker 1: makes sense. And it certainly doesn't make sense for Virginia
45:16
Speaker 1: to take a 3 million pound settlement. It comes after
45:23
Speaker 1: The Sun revealed last week that Andrew and his ex-wife,
45:26
Speaker 1: Sarah Ferguson, have bought a 5 million pound house in
45:29
Speaker 1: London's swanky Mayfair, despite moaning about being hard up. Imagine complaining...
45:37
Speaker 1: about being hard up as Prince Andrew, the king of
45:39
Speaker 1: the grifters? This dude was out there securing more bags
45:43
Speaker 1: from more scumbags than anybody in the history of the world,
45:46
Speaker 1: and you mean to tell me you ain't squirreled away
45:48
Speaker 1: a couple of cents? You dumbass. If this guy wasn't
45:54
Speaker 1: a royal, folks, I don't know what he'd be doing
45:57
Speaker 1: for a living. He'd probably be one of these indigent
46:00
Speaker 1: folks living on the street, because he can't even tie
46:02
Speaker 1: his own shoes on his own. A source said it
46:06
Speaker 1: was thought and widely reported that Virginia got a settlement
46:09
Speaker 1: of 12 million pounds from Andrew, but that's not right.
46:12
Speaker 1: A source said, who is the source? Where did they
46:14
Speaker 1: come from? Who do they work with? Who do they
46:16
Speaker 1: work for? That's what I want to know. It's just
46:19
Speaker 1: like whenever we see one of these reports that comes
46:22
Speaker 1: out by, say, quote unquote, scientists. I always want to
46:26
Speaker 1: know who paid for the research, right? Because a lot
46:30
Speaker 1: of times it sways what the report has to say.
46:34
Speaker 1: And it's no different here. Who is your source? That
46:37
Speaker 1: is very crucial for me. If it's just some moron
46:40
Speaker 1: running around talking nonsense, then, well, what's the point? If
46:46
Speaker 1: I talked about every single rumor that surrounded Epstein and
46:49
Speaker 1: Maxwell and Prince Andrew, we'd be here all day. But again,
46:53
Speaker 1: it's not what you know or think you know. It's
46:55
Speaker 1: what you can prove. And anyone who's doing anything besides that,
47:01
Speaker 1: selling you wolf tickets and shit, well, they're grifters, and
47:05
Speaker 1: they're snake oil salesmen. It was far less than that,
47:12
Speaker 1: as low as three million pounds. No doubt this will
47:15
Speaker 1: have influenced the conditions of the agreement that she was
47:17
Speaker 1: prepared to sign. Again, I don't believe any of this,
47:21
Speaker 1: and I will wait and see. what Virginia's side has
47:25
Speaker 1: to say about all of this eventually, if ever. But
47:28
Speaker 1: my guess is, three million pounds, folks, really? You think
47:33
Speaker 1: that's all it took? With the Jubilee hanging over them,
47:37
Speaker 1: you really think that they were in a position, meaning
47:40
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew's team, was in a position to run that negotiation,
47:44
Speaker 1: to be in charge, to be the point people, and
47:48
Speaker 1: to direct who does what, and if Virginia's going to
47:51
Speaker 1: settle or not? Boys and Company had these dudes over
47:55
Speaker 1: the barrel, and they knew it. Brettler and Singer do
47:58
Speaker 1: not come out and negotiate like this if they have
48:02
Speaker 1: something to go on. As good as Boys and McCauley are,
48:07
Speaker 1: Singer and Brettler, when it comes to this kind of thing,
48:10
Speaker 1: are the best. So remember, keep that in mind. You
48:14
Speaker 1: have the best lawyers in the business representing Andrew here
48:18
Speaker 1: to the tune of $ 2, 500 an hour. And they come
48:22
Speaker 1: up with this settlement. After he comes out with all
48:24
Speaker 1: of the bluster. Oh I'm going to fight this in court.
48:28
Speaker 1: I'm going to go to trial. No. He comes out.
48:31
Speaker 1: Pays the settlement. The jubilee is hanging over his head.
48:34
Speaker 1: They ask for the picture. Well obviously in my opinion.
48:37
Speaker 1: Virginia's team has the picture. And now here we are.
48:42
Speaker 1: But of course as history moves on. They'll try and
48:44
Speaker 1: spin this. And that's what this is in my opinion.
48:47
Speaker 1: Spin to make it look not as bad. To help.
48:50
Speaker 1: move this man back into the public light. Ah, come on,
48:53
Speaker 1: the payout wasn't even that much. That's an egregious amount.
48:56
Speaker 1: He only gave her a few bucks to shut her up.
48:59
Speaker 1: That's basically what they're saying. Ms. Roberts, a survivor of
49:05
Speaker 1: sex trafficking at the hands of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, claimed
49:09
Speaker 1: Andrew raped and abused her when she was 17. Although
49:12
Speaker 1: the agreement reached in February contained no formal admission of
49:16
Speaker 1: liability or apology from Andrew, it's said here Miss Roberts
49:21
Speaker 1: was a survivor of abuse and regretted his association with
49:26
Speaker 1: Epstein oh well since you regret it then that's it
49:30
Speaker 1: no punishment for you Prince Andrew you regret your relationship
49:33
Speaker 1: so that's the end of it let's keep it moving
49:36
Speaker 1: next time you commit a crime out there folks if
49:38
Speaker 1: you commit a crime and you get caught Just use
49:40
Speaker 1: the Prince Andrew move. Well, I'm sorry about that, and
49:44
Speaker 1: I have regrets, so can I get off of this
49:47
Speaker 1: charge here? Straight up absurd. And the fact that these
49:50
Speaker 1: people are able to get away with their shit for
49:53
Speaker 1: so long and for so many years is even more absurd.
49:57
Speaker 1: But for my money, and from where I'm sitting over here,
50:00
Speaker 1: in my fantastic homemade studio, there is no doubt in
50:05
Speaker 1: my mind that Virginia Roberts got a king's payday from
50:10
Speaker 1: the prince of nothing. If you'd like to contact me,
