The Epstein Bill Passes Both Chambers Of Congress · The Epstein Chronicles

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
0:03
Epstein Chronicles. Yesterday it proved something that a lot of
0:06
people in this country have suspected for a long time.
0:09
When the powerful gets scared enough, they move fast enough
0:12
to make your head spin. The House of Representatives, a
0:16
chamber that can't agree if the sky is blue. Without
0:19
six weeks of hearings and twenty four cable news panels,
0:23
suddenly managed to push the Epstein Files build through with
0:26
a four hundred and twenty seven to one vote, like
0:29
it was the easiest decision they'd ever made. That level
0:33
of force. Consensus doesn't come from unity or principle. It
0:37
comes from fear, the very real fear that the public
0:41
pressure building outside those marble walls was about to rip
0:44
the facade clean off the building. These people haven't discovered
0:48
morality overnight. They felt the oxygen starting to thin, and
0:52
they stampeded in the only direction that might save their
0:55
own skins. Anyone watching that vote with their eyes open
0:58
could see that it didn't look like or righteous resolve.
1:01
It looked like a room full of people trying not
1:04
to be the last one standing when the music stops.
1:06
And then, of course, we have the Senate, the legendary
1:09
swamp lounge where accountability goes to be smothered with a pillow.
1:13
They decided to throw in the towel without so much
1:16
as clearing their throat. This is the chamber famous for
1:20
dragging simple bills through weeks of procedural sludge. The same
1:23
Senate that loves attaching unrelated amendments like tumors designed to
1:28
kill anything remotely threatening. But suddenly, at the first whiff
1:32
of smoke, they refuse to even touch it. No edits,
1:35
no rewrites, no bullshit performative debate. They passed it immediately,
1:40
without even pretending to consider alternatives. It didn't look like efficiency.
1:44
It looked like surrender. It looked like a group of
1:47
seasoned political survivors who recognize that obstructing this bill any
1:51
longer was going to blow their cover and expose exactly
1:54
how deep the rock goes. It's not courage when someone
1:57
drops the gun because the barrel is melting in their hands.
2:01
Now the bill sitting on Donald Trump's desk or will be,
2:04
and the timing couldn't be more telling. After months of stonewalling, dismissing, mocking,
2:10
and minimizing, the push to release these files. The White
2:13
House is suddenly pretending to stand behind transparency, not because
2:16
they've become champions of truth, but because they saw the
2:19
avalanche coming and decided to duck. You don't reverse positions
2:23
this dramatically unless you're backed into a corner and trying
2:26
to calculate the least damaging escape route. The sudden pivot
2:30
wasn't conviction. What we see is a survival reflex, folks,
2:35
and anyone pretending otherwise is either lying or refusing to think.
2:39
The administration still clinging to this convenient excuse of an
2:42
ongoing investigation, as if that phrase magically cleanses everything, as
2:48
if people haven't learned that in Washington that term means
2:51
nothing except we need time to sanitize whatever we don't
2:55
want you to see. None of what happened yesterday represents account.
3:00
All that represents is the moment the people in charge
3:03
realized they were at a hiding places and had to
3:05
choose which limb to saw off to save the rest
3:08
of the body. I mean, you could practically feel the
3:11
desperation leaking through the television. We're not talking about leaders
3:15
here that were acting with integrity. They were reactionaries trying
3:19
to get ahead of a story that's already out of
3:21
their control. They know that once these files exist as
3:25
public record rather than whispered rumor, nobody is going to
3:28
be able to shrug and say they didn't know. They're
3:32
trying to position themselves as allies in a fight they
3:35
spent years helping to suppress, and look, the sad truth is,
3:39
the bill moving isn't a victory lamp. It's the beginning
3:42
of a panic sprint happening behind closed doors. Everyone who
3:46
touched Epstein, protected them, enabled them, profited from them, or
3:49
kept quiet long enough for his operation to thrive is
3:52
now frantically calculating damage. Pass the public didn't suddenly gain power,
3:58
the powerful loss cover and the scramble happening right now
4:01
in real time is the clearest evidence that whatever's in
4:04
those files isn't just embarrassing, it's incriminating. The passing of
4:09
this bill didn't look like justice. It looked like the
4:11
political class trying to outrun the wreckage they know is coming.
4:16
Today's article is from ABC News and the headline Senate
4:20
expected to send Epstein files bill to Trump. The author
4:24
of this article is Alison Pecorin. The Senate is expected
4:30
to receive the House passed version of the Jeffrey Epstein
4:32
files and pass it along to President Donald Trump on
4:36
Wednesday morning. And if Donald Trump knew what was good
4:39
for him, he would reach out to the survivors and
4:42
have them in the Oval office when he signs the bill.
4:45
You might as well get on board, buddy, because the
4:48
longer you stand in the way, the longer you act
4:51
as an obstacle, the more people are going to have
4:54
questions about what your motivation is. And I think at
4:58
this point everybody wants to know the truth. I don't
5:02
think it matters what side of the aisle you're on,
5:04
what you believe. Everybody wants to know what's going on,
5:08
and everybody wants to know, especially who was involved. And
5:11
that doesn't just mean in the actual abuse. The enabling
5:15
is a big part of this, folks. The structure, the
5:18
whole entire enterprise that was built, how that was run,
5:22
The people in charge of that, Epstein and Maxwell, couldn't
5:25
do what they did alone. And that's the point that
5:27
I've made throughout this whole entire thing from day one.
5:33
Late Tuesday afternoon, the Senate agreed to unanimously approve the
5:37
bill that the House passed earlier in the day. When
5:40
it arrives from the House, it will be deemed immediately
5:43
passed by the Senate. And that's extraordinary, honestly, and that's
5:47
because of you folks. By the way, all the pressure,
5:50
all of the phone calls, all of that stuff had
5:52
an effect. We're not talking about, you know, usual policy
5:57
issues here were only advocates and people that are involved
6:01
in that specific issue are getting you know, active on
6:05
the phones and active as far as contacting their elected officials.
6:10
When you start talking about hurting children and people covering
6:14
it up, that's going to get people fired up. And
6:16
you're going to have people involved that have never been
6:19
involved before. And I can't tell you how many people
6:22
I know in my real life, my personal life, who
6:24
have zero interest in politics, who are now completely invested
6:29
in what's going on here. And these are people who
6:32
have told me to shut up a million times about
6:34
the topic. Ah, Bobby, come on, there's no way that
6:37
it runs that deep. Where the receipts, where's the proof?
6:40
And unless you start at the beginning, it's very hard
6:43
to make your case because that's the point, right, the confusion,
6:48
the chaos, that's all part of the cover, and that's
6:52
why they make it so confusing. That's why they dump
6:55
all these different syops on you. That's why they have
6:58
all these influencers come out and run misdirection. Like little
7:03
Finger says in Game of Thrones, chaos is a ladder,
7:08
and the people that control us, the real people who
7:10
control us behind the scenes, they understand that and they
7:13
utilize that as a tool. The unanimous action by the
7:17
Senate means there will be no amendments or changes to
7:20
the bill. As how Speaker Mike Johnson and other members
7:23
of his Republican leadership team had urged, well, what they
7:27
wanted to do was get in there and change some
7:30
of the language, some of the wording so they could
7:32
continue to protect their donors. Mike Johnson is smarmy bro
7:36
cares more about his donors and the people that are
7:39
paying the bills than he cares about you and me.
7:41
And his carrying on with this whole entire Epstein situation,
7:45
from suspending the house to the rest of it just
7:49
really shows you the kind of person that Mike Johnson is.
7:52
The man is an absolute imbecile. And you know what
7:55
the craziest part is when all of this is said
7:57
and done, you know he's going to go get one
7:59
of those lobby jobs for a bunch of dough, like
8:02
he actually knows what he's talking about or knows what
8:05
he's doing. I mean, take a look at John Bayner,
8:08
bro spent his whole life talking down on drugs, going
8:10
after people who smoke pot, and then when he retires,
8:14
joins the cannabis company's board. Oh yeah, that's cool, nothing
8:18
wrong with that, as people rot away in prison for
8:21
smoking the very thing you're making a fortune on. The
8:24
measure compels Attorney General Paumbondi to make available all unclassified records, documents, communications,
8:31
and investigative materials in the Department of Justice possession related
8:35
to Ebstein within thirty days of its enactment. And it's
8:39
always the fine print, right, unclassified records, documents, and communications. Well,
8:46
who gets to decide what's classified? Oh, that's right, the
8:49
DOJ and Donald Trump. So this goes all the way
8:53
back to what I was saying about them using this
8:55
new investigation that they have against whoever as a shield.
9:01
And that's the plan. That is the exact plan that
9:03
is being enacted and played out right in front of
9:06
our eyes. And what they're trying to do is create
9:08
some distance between Donald Trump and the decisions that are
9:11
about to be made, because now it's all going to
9:14
fall on Pam Bondi's lab and Donald Trump will be
9:18
able to say, look, I ordered all of this released,
9:21
but the DOJ, you know, they're doing their job. We
9:23
can't have the DOJ release this information. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's
9:28
out here calling for targeted prosecutions of people. And if
9:33
you know anything about court, if you know anything about trials,
9:36
that kind of shit is dead on arrival. You want
9:38
to talk about polluting the Jerry pool, Well this is it.
9:42
So all this bluster, all this talk about investigations, I
9:46
have my doubts that they're going to do anything about it. Now.
9:50
They might say there's an investigation just to gum up
9:52
the works, but do you really think they're going to
9:54
make any real moves. They just found some new actionable
9:58
intelligence member. The people that they're going to go after,
10:02
or say they're going to go after, are very powerful
10:04
and rich people. You think their lawyers don't know the
10:07
things I know they most certainly do, and they're going
10:09
to utilize all of that against one of these targeted
10:13
prosecutions and they'll point back to what Donald Trump said
10:17
in that post. And I have a funny feeling that
10:20
the court isn't going to look too kindly on it.
10:22
I mean, take a look at how they're being repudiated
10:24
with their prosecution a COMI. If the legislation signed into law,
10:30
it could compel the release of federal records on Epstein
10:32
and has convicted accomplice Glenn Maxwell, as well as other individuals,
10:37
including government officials named a referenced in connection with Epstein's
10:41
criminal activities, civil settlements, immunity plea agreements, or investigatory proceedings.
10:47
According to the legislation text, victims' names and the other
10:51
identifying information would be excluded from the disclosure, as would
10:55
any items that may depict or contain child sex abuse material.
11:00
Acording to the text of the House Past bill, Well,
11:02
that's good. Nobody wants to see that. I certainly don't,
11:06
so yeah, keep all of that hidden. What I want
11:08
to see is the black and white. I want to
11:10
see who signed off on what. I want to see
11:12
who made the decision to put Jeffrey Epstein in a
11:15
cell with Nicholas dar Taglioni. And I also want to
11:18
see the report. That clear to Matt mcc I want
11:21
to see all of it, and I don't think that's
11:24
too big of an ask. I think that we're entitled
11:27
to all of that, and none of that is national security.
11:31
ABC News did not receive a response from the Justice
11:34
Department to questions about whether and how it plans to
11:37
comply with the bill once it's been signed by Trump. Well,
11:40
they'll have to get it approved by Glenn Maxwell. Right, Oh,
11:43
she's not calling the shots anymore, Todd Blanche is back
11:46
in charge calling the shots. I mean, I'm sure she
11:49
has a direct line to the Trump administration telling them
11:51
what she wants them to do. Right, considering the treatment
11:54
she's getting. Oh, Queen Lee Glaine over here acting like
11:57
Queen Elizabeth. I mean, at this point, wouldn't be shocked
12:00
to see that idiot catterd have Glenn Maxwell be the
12:03
co host on his podcast if you want to call
12:05
it a podcast. And furthermore, anyone who is listening to
12:08
a dude named cat Turd should probably take a good
12:11
hard look in the mirror. Then again, he has been
12:14
in forty bar fights, folks. Very tough guy. On Friday,
12:17
BONDI announced the Justice Department was initiating a renewed investigation
12:22
into the files and potential ties between high profile Democrats
12:25
and Epstein, just hours after Trump ordered her to do
12:28
it on his truth social account. I'm sure the court
12:31
is going to love that. I'm sure that this investigation
12:34
is going to go very very far and dig very
12:36
very deep. It's unclear whether the DOJ will seek to
12:40
cite that announcement as exempting much of the files from
12:43
public disclosure due to their relevance to the new investigation,
12:47
despite DOJ and FBI stating on a quivocally in July
12:51
statement that it uncovered no evidence in a review of
12:54
the files that would support a predicated investigation against any
12:59
uncharged charged individuals. Imagine that shit. Imagine trying to pump
13:03
that to us after we've heard directly from judges inside
13:07
the court during trials about Sarah Kellen Vickers. How dare you?
13:12
And here's another thing to chew on. So if they
13:15
have a targeted investigation going against I don't know, Bill
13:19
Clinton or whoever, then doesn't that mean that the information
13:23
about everybody else should still be available, you know, Donald
13:27
Trump and anybody who might be on the right isn't
13:30
that what they're opening themselves up to. The whole entire
13:33
thing doesn't seem like it was well thought out, and
13:36
it seems to me like a panic move, the whole thing.
13:40
And it's funny because they love to call people panikins
13:42
or whatever the fuck they call them, Well, who's panicking now?
13:47
It's unlikely the Justice Department would release the entire Epstein file.
13:51
According to sources, any material related to ongoing investigation or
13:55
the White House claims of executive privilege will likely remain
13:59
out of public view. And this is why we have
14:01
to keep the heat on. And this is why I
14:03
call it all performative politics. How is it that we
14:06
live in a republic where there's oversights supposedly by Congress
14:10
and the Senate, and the Department of Justice is still
14:12
calling the shots. So once again, I'm calling for a
14:17
special investigator. Enough is enough. Trump said Monday that he
14:22
will sign the bill should it reach his desk. I'm
14:24
all for it, Trump said, but in a post on
14:27
his social media platform Tuesday afternoon, the president said he
14:30
doesn't care when the Senate passes the House bill, whether
14:33
tonight or at some other time in the near future,
14:36
and he wants Republicans to say, focused on the agenda.
14:39
I just don't want Republicans to take their eyes off
14:42
all the victories that we've had, including the great, big,
14:45
beautiful bill, closed borders, no men in women's sports, or
14:49
a transgender for everyone, ending DEI, stopping Biden's records, setting inflation,
14:54
biggest tax and regulation cuts in history, stopping eight wars,
14:58
rebuilding our military, being respected by every country in the world,
15:02
having trillions of dollars invested in the USA, having created
15:07
the hottest country anywhere in the world, and even delivering
15:10
a huge defeat to the Democrats on the shutdown. Trump
15:13
said in his post, Yeah, sorry, buddy, none of that
15:16
stuff is more important than what we're talking about here.
15:19
I hate to say it, but it's true, because nothing
15:22
is more important than rooting out this corruption. If we
15:26
don't root it out, it's going to happen again. And
15:29
none of this stuff Trump's talking about is going to
15:31
matter if we're being ruled by people who are either
15:33
hurting children or are okay with hurting children. Thanks for
15:38
coming to my fucking ted talk. A senior White House
15:42
official later told ABC News that the bill will be
15:45
signed whenever it gets to the White House, Trump did
15:48
not need to wait for Congress to act, He could
15:50
order the release immediately. At a vigil on Capitol Hill
15:54
Tuesday afternoon, a group of House Democrats and Epstein's survivors
15:58
broke out and allowed cheers upon learning that the Senate
16:01
unanimously approved the bill. After New Mexico Democratic Representative Teresa
16:07
Leger Fernandez made the announcement from the podium, the group
16:11
broke out in loud cheers, collaps, and smiles, some of
16:14
them tearing up. Democrats were seen hugging the survivors. Well,
16:18
the Democrat should be seen getting rid of Stacey Plaskett.
16:22
That's what they should be doing. And please make no mistake,
16:24
I'm going to keep talking about Stacy Plaskett like I've
16:27
been talking about her before anyone even knew she was involved.
16:30
I've been talking about Plasket for literally years. And when
16:35
I would talk to people on the left about Stacy Plaskett,
16:37
their eyes would roll. Oh, come on, it's not that
16:39
big of a deal. What she got a couple bucks
16:42
from them and she gave it back, so what, Well,
16:45
guess what, it is a big deal. Anyone getting text
16:48
messages from Jeffrey Epstein while they're engaging in a House committee.
16:53
Probably a big deal and that needs to be dealt with.
16:56
But as far as this goes, as far as the
16:58
bill hitting Trump's desk, I think that it's a moment
17:01
where the American people have finally stood up and said
17:04
enough is enough. Now. The question that remains is will
17:08
that be enough. All of the information that goes with
