Hidden in Plain Sight: Epstein, the Big Banks, and the Next Crash | Simply Originals · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:00
  Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplices committed horrors we
• 0:04
  can't even say out loud here. And the one thing he never lost?
• 0:09
  His bank account. Think about that.
• 0:11
  He lost his freedom, but he didn't lose JP Morgan.
• 0:16
  He didn't lose Deutsche Bank. He didn't lose access to
• 0:21
  capital. Know who did?
• 0:23
  Truck drivers, the My Pillow Guy, countless Americans, even
• 0:29
  the president. But not Jeffrey Epstein.
• 0:32
  And here's where this stops being about 1 monster.
• 0:36
  Because when banks and politicians protect evil in
• 0:39
  order to save the stock market, When governments cover up
• 0:43
  atrocities to protect the Dow, when compliance rules are
• 0:49
  optional for the powerful, well, that's not just corruption,
• 0:53
  that's systemic fragility. And fragility in the financial
• 0:58
  plumbing is how crashes start. Ray Dalio just said the world
• 1:02
  order is officially broken. European leaders are openly
• 1:05
  talking about war, capital is being weaponized, and now the
• 1:10
  Epstein files are exposing the banking system that quietly
• 1:13
  moved billions while looking the other way.
• 1:16
  So here's the real question. Is this just scandal or is this
• 1:20
  the stress fracture before the next financial break?
• 1:24
  Because when trust in institutions collapses, markets
• 1:29
  don't float, they fall. Yeah, we have a massive show
• 1:32
  today. Fundamental part of money, which
• 1:40
  is called fractionalized banking and fractionalized banking is
• 1:45
  something that finance people understand and the people on the
• 1:48
  street. And when I say people on the
• 1:49
  street, that's where I was when I started on Wall Street, would
• 1:53
  find it impossible to believe impossible.
• 1:58
  Why Bannon Bank, I give you $1.00, just one single dollar in
• 2:09
  our system of banking. I would say, OK, Steve, I gave
• 2:14
  you a dollar. How much could you lend out to
• 2:16
  your friends? Your natural reaction would be
• 2:20
  probably something less than a dollar because I want to keep
• 2:22
  something in my pocket. The way our system works is if
• 2:27
  I, you as a bank, are holding my dollar, you can lend out an
• 2:32
  additional 8 or $9. No, it's impossible.
• 2:37
  I only have a dollar. Jeffrey, we have something
• 2:41
  called fractionalized reserves, which is if you have one, you
• 2:44
  can lend out nine. That's the way our system works.
• 2:47
  And so not only do world leaders not understand banking, but the
• 2:51
  man on the street, my father worked in the park department.
• 2:55
  It, it would be beyond his imagination that people could
• 2:58
  lend out more money than they actually had in their pocket if
• 3:02
  the public understood that the bank really doesn't have their
• 3:06
  money at any one time. There's one of the things during
• 3:10
  the Depression, they were runs on the bank.
• 3:12
  The reason the banks don't keep much money in the actual bank as
• 3:16
  they assume that not everyone's going to want their money on the
• 3:19
  same day. So that's not really the fear of
• 3:22
  inflation. The fear is a run on the bank.
• 3:24
  Everybody wants to take out something that doesn't really
• 3:27
  exist. Wise man once said it is well
• 3:31
  enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking
• 3:34
  and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a
• 3:37
  revolution before morning. And oddly, there it is, coming
• 3:41
  straight from Epstein's mouth. He agrees.
• 3:44
  Ain't that something? Now, before we dive in, let's
• 3:48
  really set the mood. Let's get that sweet, soothing
• 3:52
  voice of Pam Bondi. The Dow is over 50,000 right
• 3:58
  now, the S&P at almost 7000, and the NASDAQ smashing records.
• 4:05
  I know that Lady makes my ears bleed too, but at least now I
• 4:09
  don't sound that bad. But what her statement implies
• 4:13
  is what's sick. It implies that whatever this
• 4:16
  was, some would refer to it as a satanic ring.
• 4:21
  But by her statement, it makes it sound like it is somehow tied
• 4:25
  into the backbone of the system. Like we can't hold these rich
• 4:29
  and powerful people accountable because the Dow might drop
• 4:33
  because Molech needs his quarterly earnings.
• 4:36
  If that is the case, maybe it needs to burn.
• 4:39
  And guess what? Something that massive,
• 4:42
  apparently massive enough to be propping up the S&P and the Dow,
• 4:46
  well, that's something. Whatever it is has to move money
• 4:51
  and a lot of it, and it wasn't done with Bitcoin, it was done
• 4:55
  using the big banks, the. Dow is over $50,000.
• 5:00
  I don't know why you're laughing.
• 5:01
  You're a great stock trader. As I hear Raskin, the Dow is
• 5:04
  over 50,000 right now, the S&P at almost 7000 and the NASDAQ
• 5:12
  smashing records. Americans 4 O1, KS and
• 5:16
  retirement savings are booming. That's right.
• 5:19
  That's what we see, not their children.
• 5:22
  What does it matter? Who cares that we kidnapped?
• 5:25
  The Dow is up. The Dow is up.
• 5:29
  Who cares that you we snatch your kids and took them to an
• 5:33
  island to abuse them? The Dow is up.
• 5:36
  So what? So what?
• 5:38
  We're part of an ancient blood cult.
• 5:40
  The Dow is up. So what?
• 5:43
  We perform sacrifices to to deities so that we can have
• 5:48
  their power. The Dow is up.
• 5:51
  You know what the Nasdaq's doing?
• 5:55
  The blue chips, the S&P 500. Why don't you shut your mouth
• 6:00
  about the kids that we abducted and sacrificed so we can, we can
• 6:05
  please Lucifer or Baal. So what?
• 6:11
  The Dow is up. So what?
• 6:13
  We worship Ball. Maybe you should thank Ball for
• 6:18
  the Dow being at 50,000. You're a pretty good stock
• 6:22
  trader, Raskin, from what I hear.
• 6:26
  Maybe instead of angering Ball, you thank Ball.
• 6:31
  Thank Ball for what he's done for American 4-O1K's Ball.
• 6:38
  Ball is done more for the S&P 500 than Joe Biden did.
• 6:43
  Joe Biden didn't do anything for the S&P 500.
• 6:47
  We had to go to Mullick and Ball.
• 6:51
  That's Pam Bondi telling everyone to thank Ball, the
• 6:56
  demon ball, for the S&P 500 and don't worry about the child
• 7:01
  sacrifices. But by the way, that's kind of
• 7:04
  what she's saying. Renewed scrutiny is now falling
• 7:07
  directly on JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank.
• 7:10
  A New York Times investigation outlines how senior executives
• 7:14
  at JP Morgan allegedly ignored internal warnings, AML flags,
• 7:20
  unusual withdrawal patterns, third party transfers, payments
• 7:23
  to women listing Epstein properties as their address.
• 7:26
  These weren't subtle. These were persistent.
• 7:30
  And the question isn't whether compliance officers noticed, the
• 7:33
  question is why nothing happened.
• 7:36
  Deutsche Bank transfers of 10s of millions from LLC's even
• 7:41
  after financial crime officers raised concerns.
• 7:44
  And then this a $25 million contract between Epstein and the
• 7:49
  Rothschild Group, Epstein hired to help resolve quote, sensitive
• 7:53
  issues with the US government. What sensitive issues?
• 7:57
  That's not a normal line item. Goldman Sachs top legal officer
• 8:02
  Kathlee Rumler stepped down after renewed scrutiny as well.
• 8:06
  100 plus emails, dozens of meetings after Epstein
• 8:10
  conviction. Meanwhile, Senator Ron Wyden is
• 8:13
  now pressing JP Morgan over what he calls serious compliance
• 8:18
  failures. While Epstein was alive 4.3
• 8:21
  million flagged. After he died, 1.3 billion.
• 8:25
  Let that sink in. What I'm getting at though, is
• 8:28
  simple. Epstein did not bank himself.
• 8:32
  No matter what these guys tell you.
• 8:34
  We know this for a fact. He had accomplices, he had
• 8:37
  customers, he had political protection, but most
• 8:40
  importantly, he had financial rails.
• 8:43
  And those rails are the same ones holding up your 4-O1K.
• 8:48
  Now in America, the fallout feels a little muted.
• 8:52
  We're pretty pissed about it, but nothing is really happening.
• 8:54
  Maybe because Molech and the Dow come before morality, justice
• 8:58
  and basic human decency. But in Europe, a different
• 9:02
  story. Prince Andrew stripped of
• 9:04
  titles. Peter Mandelson resigns under
• 9:07
  investigation. Prime Minister Starmer
• 9:10
  apologizing in hot water as well.
• 9:12
  And rightfully so. Former Norwegian Prime Minister
• 9:15
  Thorborn Jaglund charged with corruption.
• 9:18
  This isn't isolated. This is completely crossbow
• 9:22
  border, you know, in times where leaders are protecting the
• 9:25
  criminal underbelly of the state in order to prop up the stock
• 9:28
  market, allegedly, it's of little surprise that markets are
• 9:32
  poised to go off a Cliff. At least that's what Ray Dalio
• 9:35
  just said. It's official.
• 9:37
  The world order has broken down. Not it's looking a little shaky.
• 9:40
  Not there's some tensions broken like the warranty expired.
• 9:46
  Full faith and credit in the crap hole.
• 9:48
  Because at the Munich Security Conference, leaders basically
• 9:52
  held a memorial service for the post 1945 world order.
• 9:56
  The security report 2026 is literally titled under
• 10:00
  Destruction, which sounds a lot more like a horror movie than an
• 10:04
  actual report. But hey, it's the fourth
• 10:06
  turning. And here's what they said
• 10:08
  straight up. Germany's Chancellor Friedrich
• 10:10
  Merz quote the world order as it has stood for decades no longer
• 10:15
  exists and he said we're entering great power politics.
• 10:19
  Translation might is right in your international norms are now
• 10:24
  just a decorative plant. But these are conference state
• 10:31
  and Dusters motto. You've chosen A grim motto for
• 10:35
  this conference under destruction, and it probably
• 10:40
  means that the international order based on rights and.
• 10:44
  Rules is. Currently being destroyed.
• 10:50
  But I'm afraid we have to put it in even harsher terms.
• 10:55
  This order, as flawed as it has been even in its heyday, no
• 11:03
  longer exists. And we?
• 11:09
  Europe. Well, Peter.
• 11:12
  Slotterdeck wrote a few weeks ago that Europe had just
• 11:18
  returned from a vacation from World.
• 11:21
  History together. We've entered an era that once
• 11:28
  again is marked by power and big power politics very openly.
• 11:36
  First of all, we see Russia's violent revisionism.
• 11:41
  It's brutal war against. Ukraine against our.
• 11:45
  Political order with daily cruel war crimes.
• 11:52
  But this is only the shrillest expression we see on a daily
• 11:55
  basis. We see other developments in the
• 11:58
  world as well that are different.
• 12:01
  To. What we in this room would have
• 12:05
  expected or discussed in the years before.
• 12:09
  China wants to be a leader in shaping the world, and it has
• 12:14
  paved the ground for that over many years with strategic
• 12:17
  patience in the foreseeable future.
• 12:21
  Beijing. Could.
• 12:24
  Be on an equal footing for the United States in military terms,
• 12:31
  China systematically uses dependencies of others, and it
• 12:38
  redefines the international order in its own favour.
• 12:43
  If there had been a unipolar moment after the fall of the
• 12:46
  Berlin Wall, a unipolar moment in history, it has long.
• 12:50
  Passed the United. States claim to leadership has
• 12:54
  been challenged and possibly lost.
• 12:59
  He. Even says freedom in this new
• 13:02
  era is no longer a given, which is a polite European way of
• 13:07
  saying, yeah, buckle up. France's Emmanuel Macron echoed
• 13:11
  it. Europe's old security setup is
• 13:13
  done. Europe has to prepare for war.
• 13:15
  Nothing says soft landing like prepare for war.
• 13:19
  At a conference with pastries and US Secretary of State Marco
• 13:23
  Rubio said we're in a new geopolitics era because the
• 13:26
  quote old world is gone. We are in the midst of an
• 13:30
  upending in the monetary order. And in Dalio's framework, that
• 13:35
  places us in stage six of the big cycle, external disorder.
• 13:40
  Stage 6 is when the rules get fuzzy, institutions lose
• 13:45
  credibility, and countries stop arguing cases and start throwing
• 13:50
  elbows. And here's the important part.
• 13:53
  Stage 6 doesn't start with tanks.
• 13:55
  It starts with paperwork. Sanctions, trade bans, asset
• 13:59
  freezes, emergency measures, the boring stuff that ends up
• 14:03
  controlling your life. Two weeks to flatten the curve.
• 14:06
  But Dalio says there are five wars that show up before the
• 14:11
  shooting. War, trade and economic wars,
• 14:14
  tariffs, restrictions choking rivals economically, technology
• 14:18
  wars, export bans, chip choke points, national security walls,
• 14:23
  geopolitical wars, alliances, territory intimidation, red
• 14:27
  lines, capital wars, sanctions, asset freezes, cutting off
• 14:30
  banking rails, blocking market access.
• 14:33
  Military wars. The hot version when the other
• 14:35
  four weren't enough. And Dalios warning is simple.
• 14:39
  These conflicts stack when things get stressed.
• 14:42
  You don't just get a trade war. You get a trade plus tech, plus
• 14:46
  capital, plus geopolitical pressure.
• 14:49
  And then the risk of the last one.
• 14:51
  Because international relations aren't governed like a
• 14:54
  courtroom. There's no global police with
• 14:56
  real teeth. The UN can pass a strongly
• 14:59
  worded letter and then the strongest country does whatever
• 15:02
  it was going to do anyway. That's Dalio's thesis.
• 15:05
  In the external order, power beats rules.
• 15:09
  So why does this matter for markets?
• 15:12
  Because markets are addicted to two things, stable rules and
• 15:16
  predictable capital flows. Stage 6 is the opposite.
• 15:21
  Supply chains become political, risk free assets become
• 15:24
  political assets, money movement becomes a weapon, and
• 15:29
  governments start doing whatever it takes to keep control while
• 15:32
  telling you it's temporary. And Dalio drops the most brutal
• 15:36
  line of all about war. Two things you can count on.
• 15:40
  One, it won't go as planned, and two, it'll be worse than
• 15:44
  imagined. So if you're watching the
• 15:47
  Epstein story and asking why does any of this connect to
• 15:50
  markets, Dalio's telling you the macro backdrop is already
• 15:54
  unstable, the old system is cracking, and when the rule book
• 15:57
  breaks, the financial plumbing becomes a battleground.
• 16:01
  And when the pipes become weapons, that's when the next
• 16:04
  crash stops being a conspiracy theory and starts looking like a
• 16:08
  calendar event. Now, what role does Bitcoin play
• 16:12
  in all of this? Can Bitcoin fix this?
• 16:15
  We're about to bring it home today, but before we do, look at
• 16:18

• 18:00
  Let's zoom out. What was the common thread
• 18:02
  tonight? Epstein never lost his bank
• 18:05
  account. Truck drivers did.
• 18:06
  Political opponents did. Protesters did because the
• 18:10
  system runs on permissioned capital.
• 18:13
  Stage 6 is about capital war. Bitcoin removes the referee.
• 18:19
  No bank approval, no account freeze, no selective AML
• 18:22
  enforcement. It doesn't care who you are.
• 18:25
  It doesn't protect monsters, and it doesn't target truckers.
• 18:29
  It enforces rules universally. Proof of work physics, not
• 18:33
  politics. And when capital wars escalate,
• 18:36
  neutral reels win. That's why Bitcoin isn't just an
• 18:39
  asset. It's exit liquidity from a
• 18:42
  decaying trust system. When trust collapses, hard,
• 18:46
  neutral settlement layers absorb capital.
• 18:48
  That's monetary history. And if Dalio's right, the next
• 18:52
  crash won't be about earnings. It'll be about trust.
• 18:56
  And trust is exactly what this system is running out of.
• 19:01
  And, and just very quickly, if you will, you've supported most
• 19:04
  of what Donald Trump has done during his presidency because of
• 19:07
  your actions with these files. He is supporting your primary
• 19:11
  opponent and has waged very personal attacks on you.
• 19:14
  I know we just have a few seconds here, but just your
• 19:17
  reaction to that. Look, this is about the Epstein
• 19:23
  class, the people who are funding the attacks against me.
• 19:26
  They may or may not be implicated in these files, but
• 19:28
  they were certainly rubbing the shoulders with the people who
• 19:32
  are in these files. They're billionaires who are
• 19:34
  friends with these people. And that's what I'm up against
• 19:36
  in Washington, DC Donald Trump told us that even though, you
• 19:40
  know, he he had dinner with these kinds of people in New
• 19:44
  York City and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent.
• 19:48
  But he's not. He's still in with the Epstein
• 19:51
  class. This is the Epstein
• 19:52
  administration. And they're attacking me for
• 19:55
  trying to get these files released.
• 19:57
  And again, I'm going to say President Trump has not been
• 20:00
  accused of anything criminal here.
• 20:02
  Thank you very much for joining us this morning, Congressman.
• 20:05
  We appreciate it. Thank you, Martha.
