Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / The Archives: Richard Branson And His Alleged Friendship With Jeffrey Epstein
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein chronicles.
- 0:04I think at this point we might as well just
- 0:06start with who wasn't connected to Jeffrey Epstein as opposed
- 0:10to who was connected to him? Considering how many of
- 0:14these dirtbag billionaires were breaking bread with this guy. I mean,
- 0:19every time we turn around, we're hearing about a new
- 0:21billionaire who was hanging out with Epstein, breaking bread with Epstein,
- 0:25in business with Epstein, accepting his money, whatever it might be.
- 0:29And now once again we're hearing about Richard Branson and
- 0:33his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein as well. Now, Branson has
- 0:38denied that he ever met Epstein, denied that they had
- 0:41any kind of friendship, and certainly denies that they had
- 0:44any kind of relationship. And while I'd love to take
- 0:47the guy for what his word is worth, when it
- 0:50comes to these billionaires, I don't trust any of them.
- 0:54I'm at the point now where it seems to me anyway,
- 0:57that every last one of these billionaires is an opte
- 1:00degenerate who never cared about the survivors of Epstein or
- 1:04the fact that Epstein was a molester. What they care
- 1:07about is that they're now being exposed for the dirt
- 1:10bags that they really are. And how are they going
- 1:13to continue to get you to buy their products and
- 1:15you know, go to their stupid stores and all the
- 1:18rest of it if you know that they're hanging out
- 1:20with a child molester. So they have to make sure
- 1:22that they run as fast as they can away from Epstein.
- 1:26But can they run away from the evidence. That's the
- 1:29question we should all be asking ourselves. Today's article is
- 1:33from The Daily Mail and the headline Richard Branson had
- 1:37breakfast with Jeffrey Epstein, three years after the pedophile was
- 1:41jailed for child prostitution. Court document says. This article was
- 1:47authored by Mark Hookm and Daniel Bates. Daniel Bates has
- 1:52been on this story since the jump. As far as
- 1:55The Daily Mail's concerned, mister Bates has done some real
- 1:58quality work. And for all of the nonsense it gets
- 2:01thrown at the Daily Mail, a lot of it deserved,
- 2:03by the way, when it comes to their coverage of Epstein,
- 2:07when it comes to their coverage of Prince Andrew, and
- 2:10when it comes to their coverage of true crime, they
- 2:12do a real good job. So people can say whatever
- 2:15they want, but the facts are the facts, and when
- 2:18you go back and you look at their coverage, especially
- 2:21of true crime, they're on point. A lot of these
- 2:25other articles, these other outlets, you just get a little blurb.
- 2:29The Daily Mail, however, they go that extra mile right
- 2:32when it's a story like the Gilgo Beach killer or
- 2:35something like that, they go all the way. They'll even
- 2:38pay for interviews. So a lot of times The Daily
- 2:41Mail's beating other outlets to the punch. Now, if you're
- 2:44talking about other stories politics, and there's way better outlets
- 2:49out there, obviously, but for what we're talking about, true
- 2:52crime and some of these more absurd stories, the Daily
- 2:56Mail is usually on point. And when it comes to Epstein,
- 2:59Daniel Bates has been on point way more times than not.
- 3:04All right onto the article tycoon Sir Richard Branson had
- 3:08breakfast with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein three years after the US
- 3:13financier pedophile was jailed for child prostitution, a court document claims.
- 3:19And so it's not like somebody's just saying this out
- 3:21in the middle of the road, yelling in the middle
- 3:23of London about Richard Branson. This was said in court
- 3:28in a court document in twenty nineteen after Sir Richard's
- 3:33name had appeared in a little black book of high
- 3:35profile Epstein contacts. A spokeswoman for the billionaire Virgin founder
- 3:40said that the two men had no personal or business relationship.
- 3:45That's what they all say, and then later on when
- 3:47it turns out that they're lying, what they'll say is, well,
- 3:50we were just acquaintances. We weren't friends. That's what I meant.
- 3:54And the legacy media they'll just eat it all up
- 3:56and they'll keep it moving, no scrutiny, no hard question,
- 4:00and no going deeper into the topic. And that's how
- 4:03it's always been for these scumbags who have been associated
- 4:07with Epstein. They've always been protected by the legacy media.
- 4:10So it's been up to outlets like The Daily Mail
- 4:13to continue to carry the torch and keep the story going.
- 4:16And you can add the Daily Beast into that as well.
- 4:19The Daily Beast has had great coverage from the other side.
- 4:22They've done a fantastic job calling people out. Remember it
- 4:26was the Daily Beast that broke the story about Alexander
- 4:29de Rossi, Glenn Maxwell's nephew who got the job at
- 4:33the State Department. That was the Deli Beast who broke that.
- 4:36I mean, you would think that it would be The
- 4:38New York Times or the Washington Post. For as much
- 4:42as we hear about how great and credible those sources are,
- 4:45but it's never those sources that break these stories. They're
- 4:49way too busy trying to whitewash this story and make
- 4:52sure that they have access to their buddies in the
- 4:54royal family. Just ask Gamy Roebuck. But a bombshell legal
- 4:58document seen by The on Sunday reveals that in twenty
- 5:02and eleven, Epstein emailed as private banker Jess Staley and
- 5:07the former Labor Cabinet minister Peter Mandelsson to tell them
- 5:11of his alleged meeting with Sir Richard. Maybe we should
- 5:14just call him Sir Dick from now on, the document states.
- 5:18On January seventh, twenty eleven, Epstein writes to Peter Mandelson,
- 5:23copying Staley had breakfast with Richard Branson. He is also
- 5:27a big fan of Africa. Epstein was a convicted sex
- 5:31offender at the time of the alleged meeting. In June
- 5:34two thousand and eight, he pleaded guilty to soliciting an
- 5:38underage girl for prostitution and was sentenced to eighteen months
- 5:42in jail. Yeah, you all love Africa. You love to
- 5:45pillage it, you love to plunder it, and you love
- 5:47the fact that you can get away with a bunch
- 5:49of bullshit on the continent because there's all kinds of
- 5:53various laws or lawlessness. Because I have a real hard
- 5:57time they're talking about the beauty of the continent itself.
- 6:00Health Guys like Epstein, Guys like Mandelssohn, guys like Richard Branson.
- 6:05You really think they care about Mount Kilimanjaro. You think
- 6:08they care about going on Safari. No, they care nothing
- 6:12about anything like that. They care about making more money
- 6:15and consolidating power. That's all that drives these people. Sir
- 6:19Dick is the latest high profile figure named in court
- 6:23papers from a civil case brought by the US Virgin
- 6:26Islands government against JP Morgan, an American US bank accused
- 6:30of ignoring warnings about Epstein sex trafficking. Asked by the
- 6:35MOS this weekend whether Sir Richard had ever met or
- 6:39had breakfast with Epstein, a source said, we have no
- 6:42record of a breakfast on January seventh, twenty and eleven,
- 6:46and always pay attention to the wording because the wording
- 6:49in these denials is very important. They say here, we
- 6:53do not have a record of a breakfast on January seventh,
- 6:56twenty eleven. You notice that they don't say that it
- 6:59didn't happen, right, They just say that they don't have
- 7:01a record of it, and of course that gives them
- 7:03wiggle room. Well, we didn't say that they had no relationship.
- 7:07We're just saying there's no record of it. And for
- 7:09those of you who have been following along throughout this
- 7:11whole thing, I know you're rolling your eyes right now,
- 7:14shaking your head and saying to yourselves this excuse again,
- 7:18and unfortunately the answer is yep. Once again. It's like
- 7:22they all have the same playbook and they're all running
- 7:25the same exact plays and nobody calls them out on it.
- 7:28I mean, imagine the ridiculous candor response that we got
- 7:31from Bill Clinton and Angel Arena, and nobody called them
- 7:35out on that. So if nobody called them out on that,
- 7:38considering literally everything he said in that response, that can
- 7:42statement was a lie, how could we ever expect anyone
- 7:45to get called out at all, unless, of course, you're
- 7:47Alex Acosta, Because he's the one that everybody seemed to
- 7:51want to call out Meanwhile, it was his bosses who
- 7:54are the ones who put all of that into play. Now,
- 7:56don't get me wrong, Acosta should have been fired. He
- 7:59should have never had the job he had. He's a
- 8:01spineless little puke and a coward. But I'm not going
- 8:04to sit here and put all the blame on some
- 8:06middle manager, especially considering I know how the DOJ works,
- 8:11and I know that a guy like Alex Acosta does
- 8:13not have the power or the authority to cut a
- 8:16deal with a guy like Epstein without his superiors signing
- 8:20off on it. The reference to Africa remained a mystery
- 8:23last night. Sir Richard bought a private game reserve in
- 8:26South Africa in nineteen ninety four, and twelve years later
- 8:30helped establish a business school in Johannesburg to boost entrepreneurship.
- 8:36I highly suggest you read what Juliette Bryant said about
- 8:39this trip to South Africa. Go ahead and read the
- 8:42article where Juliette bryan gives her interview about this whole
- 8:45trip and all the people that were on it. Epstein
- 8:48also repeatedly visited the continent, including in two thousand and
- 8:52two when he flew there on his private plane with
- 8:55former US President Bill Clinton, actor Kevin Spacey, and comedian
- 9:00Chris Tucker to raise awareness of poverty and the age crisis.
- 9:05The source close to Sir Richard said he did not
- 9:07travel to Africa with Epstein, didn't meet with Epstein in
- 9:10Africa or attend a two thousand and two trip with Epstein.
- 9:15The Mos revealed earlier this month that Epstein planned to
- 9:19hire Prince Andrew and Lord Mandelsson to be his star
- 9:22advisors for a new consultancy business. Last weekend. This newspaper
- 9:28also disclosed how Prince Andrew requested Epstein's help with securing
- 9:32two hundred million dollars in funding for a mysterious fuel
- 9:36company in December of twenty ten. But you know they
- 9:40had no relationship. Prince Andrew flew to New York to
- 9:43break up with Jeffrey Epstein, don't you remember? He had
- 9:46to go and do the honorable thing. Has there ever
- 9:48been a bigger liar than Prince Andrew? This guy is
- 9:52a straight up bullshit artist. He has perfected the art
- 9:56of telling tall tales. Maybe in his retirement he shoul
- 10:00start writing fantasy books that coincided with a visit lasting
- 10:04at least five days, by Andrew to Epstein's New York mansion.
- 10:08In his infamous Newsnight interview with Emily Maitliss, the Prince
- 10:12claimed the sole purpose of this trip was just to
- 10:15break off his friendship with the disgraced financier you mean pedophile,
- 10:19and we know that wasn't the case. They kept talking afterwards,
- 10:22they were still friends. YadA YadA, YadA, YadA. So Prince
- 10:27Andrew once again out here telling all kinds of lies
- 10:31and then wonders why nobody believes anything he has to say.
- 10:35You wonder why this guy hasn't sat for a deposition.
- 10:37You wonder why you won't speak to the FBI. Well,
- 10:40here it is. Last week could emerge that Prince Andrew
- 10:44had also visited Epstein while the pedophile was still under
- 10:48house arrest for child prostitution offenses. Hell of a guy,
- 10:51that Prince Andrew, a real honorable bloke. This contradicted Andrew's
- 10:56claim in the same Newsnight interview that he did not
- 10:59see Epstein between two thousand and six and the visit
- 11:03in twenty ten. In an email sent on June fourteenth,
- 11:07twenty ten, Epstein told Staley Andrew just sat next to
- 11:11me at dinner. Last year, Andrew paid or reported twelve
- 11:15million pounds to settle a civil case brought by Virginia Roberts,
- 11:19thirty nine, who claimed that he sexually assaulted her when
- 11:22she was seventeen. However, he rejects her claims. Yeah, he
- 11:26paid the money though, right, if you reject those claims,
- 11:29you're gonna fight that in court. He didn't fight it
- 11:31for one second in court, and he had the best
- 11:33lawyer going. By the way, don't let anybody tell you
- 11:36any different. Andrew Brettler is cream of the crop. When
- 11:39we're talking about entertainment law, we're talking about somebody to
- 11:43ride to your rescue. Nobody better than Andrew Brettler. Lord
- 11:47Mandelson spokesperson has denied any professional or business relationship with Epstein.
- 11:53Oh yeah, no business relationship whatsoever, No friendship, nothing, all
- 11:58that other evidence that you use. You can't believe that.
- 12:01Don't believe your eyes, don't believe the evidence. Believe what
- 12:04I tell you. Well, guess what, Lord mandelssh, I don't
- 12:07believe a single word that comes out of your mouth. Okay,
- 12:11I think you were paling around with Epstein. I think
- 12:13he was one of your buddies, and I think you
- 12:15benefited from his criminal enterprise. So run home and tell
- 12:19the King that, all right, everybody that's going to do
- 12:22it for this one. All of the information that goes
- 12:25with this episode can be found in the description box
