  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: In 2011, a picture of Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: taking a walk together in Central Park really initiated a
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: lot of conversation around Prince Andrew and his relationship with
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. And it kind of got the ball rolling,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: if you will. Now, we all know that Jeffrey Epstein
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: and Prince Andrew and their relationship, well, it was Jeffrey Epstein's,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you know, crown jewel, right? Prince Andrew was one of
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the biggest gets Jeffrey Epstein could ever hope to have.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: And then to get him pictured with him walking in
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the park after being a convicted sex offender? Talk about
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: helping to rehabilitate your image. And then, not only that,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: at this very same time when they were taking this
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: walk in the park, Epstein was putting together this huge
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: dinner for Jeffrey Epstein, I mean for Prince Andrew at
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: his house, that included so many famous people. We're talking
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Katie Couric, George Stephanopoulos, the list goes on for scumbags
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: who accepted this man's hospitality. And then at the same time,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: we'll come back and tell you, oh, I had no
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: idea what Epstein was up to. Look, I have a
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: hard time believing that, especially considering we know the kind
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: of weird-ass decor this dude had at his house. You
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: mean to tell me you walk into some dude's house
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and there's pictures of little girls and young girls or
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: teens or Bill Clinton in a dress on the wall
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and you don't think that shit's kind of weird? That
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: says a whole lot about you and the company you
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: keep if nobody finds any of that weird. And furthermore,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I just don't believe that none of you people knew
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: what was up. All of these rich, you know, the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: smartest people in the room, at least that's what they
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: tell us all the time. Until it's time to be
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the smartest people in the room. Then they don't have
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: any idea what happened. Oh, we don't know how the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: economy spun out of control. We have no idea how
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein was diddling little kids for 400 decades. Today's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: article is from The Mirror. Headline, exclusive. Jeffrey Epstein wanted
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Park Pick, which brought down Andrew to repair his reputation.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: That's what a lot of this was. Don't ever doubt
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: that Jeffrey Epstein was trying to move the way he
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: was moving after his arrest to try and refurbish that image.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: He wanted to come back into public life. And he
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: truly thought that he didn't do anything wrong. Remember when
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: he said his crimes were like, you know, stealing a bagel?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: The reality is his crimes were the sort of thing
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that gets you sent to prison for 120, 130 years.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Just ask Keith Ranieri. This article was authored by Matthew Dresch.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein wanted photographers to take the infamous picture of
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: him and Prince Andrew in New York Central Park, it
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: is claimed. Freelance reporter Annette Withridge, who tracked down Andrew
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in New York, believes Epstein hoped the image would rehabilitate
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: his reputation. Look, if you're trying to rehabilitate your reputation...
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: hanging out with a prince is probably a good way
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to start, right? Especially considering at this point, nobody really
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: knew that Uncle Touchy was, well, Uncle Touchy. Now, there
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: was some talk about his dalliances, right? How he liked,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you know, hanging out with women and he was a
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: jet setter, all of that shit. But that's fine with me. Again, look,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I don't care what consenting adults do. If a man
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: or a woman wants to be promiscuous in their life,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: it's not my business. I don't care. You know, you
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: want to run out there and and have relations with
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: this one, that one, the other one, and your cousin Tommy,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I don't really give a shit, okay? As long as
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: it's all with consenting adults. When we're talking about Jeffrey Epstein, however,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: we know that's not the case. We know this dirty
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: rat bastard was abusing girls at such a huge clip
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that it's almost hard to imagine. She fiercely denies the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: image was staged as one royal source previously claimed. Miss
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Withridge and her photographer staked out Epstein's Manhattan mansion for
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: more than 24 hours before they finally saw the pair
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: leaving in February of 2011. Now remember, this got the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: ball rolling, right? People started to ask questions about who
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Prince Andrew was, what he was up to, why he
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: was with Jeffrey Epstein, and this really got the ball rolling.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: The journalist told the Mirror, my theory is Epstein wanted
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: to be pictured. Why go out in the bitter cold
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: for a quick walk around Central Park? I think Epstein
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: was relying on the fact a photographer was outside. Yeah, well,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I don't doubt that. There's a lot of freelance journalists
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and paparazzi types that are always staking out places like
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein's house. Not because they're worried about, you know,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: nailing him or holding him to account for what he did,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: but they're looking for that next cool picture. He would
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: have known we were there. We weren't trying to hide.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: He had been in prison and he wanted to rehabilitate
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: his reputation. Who better to be seen with than the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Queen's son? He was saying to the world that Prince
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Andrew is my friend. And for Epstein, a lot of
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: it was the status, right? Oh, this one's my friend.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: That one's my friend. If these people are hanging around me,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: how could I possibly be guilty of any of these
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: crimes that they're talking about? and for a long time
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: he was able to wrap himself in that armor. And
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: it worked out well for him for a long time too,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: didn't it? Andrew stayed at Epstein's mansion shortly after the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: pedophile was released from jail for child sex offenses. The
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: iconic picture of the pair walking together in New York
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Central Park came about as Miss Withridge received a call
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: from the news of the world in December of 2010.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: So this fool says, Andrew I mean, I'm going to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: fly across the pond to go and break up with
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. We're going to end our friendship. But I'm
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: such an honorable cat that I got to fly across
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the pond to do that. I can't do it over
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the phone or via email or have one of my
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: servants do it. You know what the reality is? He
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: wasn't going over to break off anything. He was going
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: over here to let Jeffrey know, hey, look, I'm not
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: going to be able to talk to you in public anymore.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: This is our last hurrah. Because, you know, we got
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: to keep things on the down low now that you're
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: out in the forefront again. I can't have my name
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: dragged into this. Basically what was going on. But from
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Epstein's perspective, that's not how this worked, right? Epstein has
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: his grips into you now. He has his claws into
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you if you're Prince Andrew. And you got to play
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: ball with whatever Epstein wants to do. So if Epstein says,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: let's go take a walk in Central Park, you better
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: believe this Mr. Magoo looking MF-er Prince Andrew is on
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the leash and he's taking a walk with him. The
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: now defunct paper told her Prince Andrew was in town
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and asked her to track him down. Ms. Witheridge said
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: they didn't know where he was staying, but I immediately
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: thought of Ghislaine Maxwell as he'd been spotted with her before.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I called Jay Donnelly, her photographer, and we followed Ghislaine
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: around town, but there was no sign of Andrew. We
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: gave up at 11 p.m. and I thought, where else
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: could he be? Then I thought of Epstein as Ghislaine
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and Epstein went hand in hand. I went to Epstein's
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: place in the morning and saw British undercover officers talking
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: into their cufflinks. So imagine being one of these abused
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: traffic girls and walking into Epstein's and seeing the SAS
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: or British Secret Service or whoever the hell these guys
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: are standing out there talking into their cufflinks like James Bond. Now,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, as one of these girls, you're
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: saying to yourself, holy shit, this is legit. I better
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: play ball and do whatever they say. They already have
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: undercover agents out here. If I don't listen to what
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Epstein tells me to do, what's going to happen to
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: me or my family? And don't think that didn't play
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a part in it. And don't think that Epstein didn't
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: use that and manipulate those situations into being, well, those
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: are my people out there. There were an amazing amount
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: of young girls going in and out of Epstein's house.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I can't say they were 14, but they looked very young. Ms.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Withridge started staking out Epstein's house on December 4th. It
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: was not until around 1 p.m. the next day that
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: she and Ms. Donnelly finally spotted Andrew leaving the mansion.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: She jumped into the driver's seat of her photographer's SUV
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: and raced after the pair, while Mr. Donnelly sat next
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to her. So, she sees the two of them, and
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: as a, you know, actual investigative journalist or reporter... hops
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: into action, and follows them so she can get the story.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Traffic blocked them when they reached the end of 71st Street,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: forcing Mr. Donnelly to leap out of the vehicle as
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: he continued the pursuit on foot. Jay chased him into
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the park and climbed up on a rock. He took
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the pictures from there, Ms. Withridge said. The 62-year-old journalist
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: said she was initially mortified that she had not been
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: able to keep up with Andrew and Epstein in the car.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: So I'm just thinking about the scene of this old
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: lady here, this older lady here, and this photographer acting
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: like they're the FBI trying to pursue Jeffrey Epstein and
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Prince Andrew as they try and hammer down the story. However,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: she was thrilled when Mr. Donnelly showed her his pictures
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: of the pair when they reunited around 20 minutes later.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: She said, when I saw them, I thought, my God,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: these pictures are good. Jay was on a high when
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: he showed me the pictures. I didn't want to touch
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the camera in case I deleted them. You could already
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: see the headline, Prince Andrew and the pedo. That's the
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: perfect headline, right? Is it not true? Prince Andrew, well,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: he is a prince, I guess. And Jeffrey Epstein, well,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: we all know sick bastard man was a pedophile, so
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: that is a fitting headline. Andrew previously said he went
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to Epstein's home to end their friendship. He told Newsnight,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I went there with the sole purpose of saying to
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: him that because he'd been convicted, it was inappropriate for
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: us to be seen together. Could have done that on
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the phone, homie. What, your email didn't work? Your hotmail
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: wasn't working at the time? What was it, AOL mail
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: back then? You got mail. Well, why don't you just
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: send an email? You got to hop on a plane.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: That costs the taxpayers money, by the way. And go
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: get yourself another adventure in. One last taste, huh? I
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: felt doing it over the telephone was the chicken's way
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: of doing it. I had to go and talk to him.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: We had an opportunity to go for a walk in
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the park, and that was the conversation, coincidentally. That was photographed. Oh, yeah,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: so let's go to the park. We'll have our conversation there. Okay, sure. Ms.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Withridge said the image of Andrew and Epstein in Central
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Park gave Virginia Roberts the courage to go public with
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: her claims against Andrew. Ms. Roberts alleged Andrew abused her
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: when she was just 17 years old. The Queen's son
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: reached a 12 million pound out-of-court settlement with Ms. Roberts
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: earlier this year. Andrew denied all the claims against him
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and did not admit any liability with the settlement. Well,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: that might be the case, but think about what happened
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: with Tiffany Haddish just a couple of days ago. And
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: think about how Andrew Brettler was in the forefront of that.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Think about Armie Hammer. Think about all of the people
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: that Brettler has represented and how many of them have
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: had to pay this kind of settlement. Not very many, right?
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: So that leads me to believe, and of course, this
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: is just my speculation, folks. It leads me to believe
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: that they had the goods on Prince Andrew and all
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: boys ticket was punched. Ms. Withridge believes Ms. Roberts only
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: reached out to freelance journalist Sharon Churcher after she saw
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the Central Park image. I think she was frightened, Ms.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Withridge said. And there was a lot of, you know,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: people being scared then. Especially at the beginning of all
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: of this. These girls didn't know how it was going
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to turn out. How this was going to be received.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Ghislaine had gone out and got these girls. I think
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: they trusted her like she was an older sister. And
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: then she betrayed them so badly. I think the picture
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: gave Virginia the courage to stand up. Maxwell is now
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: serving a 20-year prison sentence after being found guilty of
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: child sex trafficking. Epstein killed himself, allegedly, while in jail
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019. Buckingham Palace
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: has been approached for comment. A spokesman for Prince Andrew
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: declined the comment. Shocking. They don't have anything to say, right?
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: It's pretty pathetic. You would think that the palace, Prince Andrew,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: and people in charge would give a little bit more
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: of a damn about what happened to these girls. But
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: they do not. They never have. And they never will.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: But the fact is this. Prince Andrew was certainly... hanging
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: out with Jeffrey Epstein at a time when it was very,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: very inappropriate, as if any time hanging out with him
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: would be appropriate. But at least before his first conviction,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: you can say, not that I believe you, but you
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: can say, I had no idea what he was doing.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Guy wasn't convicted at that time. I didn't know what
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: was up. But anyone who was hanging out with him
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: after the first conviction, or Ghislaine Maxwell for that matter,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: is a sick, disgusting bastard, and they should explain themselves.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: All right, folks, that's going to do it for this episode.
