JD Vance Attempts To Shift The Epstein Narrative And Prince Andrew's Woes Grow · The Vault: The Epstein Files

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the
0:03
Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. Over the weekend, Vice President J.D. Vance was
0:08
Speaker 1: pushing back against some criticism of the administration for the
0:13
Speaker 1: way that they were handling the Epstein files and instead
0:16
Speaker 1: turned the conversation to the Democrats and the people in
0:20
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party who have ties or had ties to
0:24
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. And while there is zero doubt that a
0:27
Speaker 1: lot of people within the Democratic Party had deep ties
0:31
Speaker 1: to Jeffrey Epstein. The fact is that it's the Trump
0:34
Speaker 1: administration that promised to release all this stuff, that promised
0:38
Speaker 1: to be transparent, and now they've walked all of that back,
0:43
Speaker 1: and it wasn't like they walked it all back right away.
0:46
Speaker 1: They waited until they released their first phase of the
0:50
Speaker 1: Epstein documents, or what they purported to be the Epstein documents,
0:55
Speaker 1: and then, after that was accomplished, After they had their
0:59
Speaker 1: little PR moment, their little white binder stunt with all
1:02
Speaker 1: those goofy ass influencers, the whole ass thing was put
1:05
Speaker 1: on ice. When the administration found out that Donald Trump's
1:09
Speaker 1: name was in the Epstein files, then all of a
1:12
Speaker 1: sudden the tune changed, didn't it? This is a big hoax.
1:15
Speaker 1: The Democrats are in charge of all of it. And
1:19
Speaker 1: everything that has to do with Jeffrey Epstein is nothing
1:21
Speaker 1: more than a plan and a plot to take me out.
1:25
Speaker 1: The problem, however, with that is that it doesn't match
1:28
Speaker 1: up with what Trump was saying previously. And it gives
1:32
Speaker 1: a lot of credence to the report that he found
1:34
Speaker 1: out that his name was all over these files, which
1:37
Speaker 1: he should have known previously because he was John Doe
1:42
Speaker 1: 174 in the previous dump. So it's not like this
1:47
Speaker 1: is a surprise to anybody out there who's been following
1:49
Speaker 1: the case. But instead of just owning it and saying, yeah,
1:52
Speaker 1: we had business ties when we were younger, I broke
1:56
Speaker 1: off the relationship because he was a sick fuck and
1:58
Speaker 1: I wanted nothing to do with him. But instead, he
2:01
Speaker 1: doubles down on the whole amnesia. I have no idea
2:05
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. We were never close. I only
2:08
Speaker 1: knew him in passing. The whole thing's a hoax. When
2:11
Speaker 1: everybody knows that that's not true. And one of the
2:14
Speaker 1: most insidious parts of all of it is that there's
2:17
Speaker 1: people in the media that will allow him to move
2:20
Speaker 1: the goalposts and then make excuses for him. All in
2:23
Speaker 1: the name of politics. And the craziest part about all
2:26
Speaker 1: of this is that Trump and the administration has just
2:29
Speaker 1: compounded their problems by not being forthright and being transparent. Instead,
2:35
Speaker 1: they've continued to retreat to the bunkers. They've demanded that
2:38
Speaker 1: people stop talking about the story and even lashing out
2:42
Speaker 1: at their own base for not dancing to the tune
2:45
Speaker 1: that's being played by the administration. But there's a lot
2:48
Speaker 1: of people out there that are not going to be intimidated.
2:51
Speaker 1: And they're going to continue to talk about this story.
2:53
Speaker 1: And no amount of deflection is going to change that.
2:57
Speaker 1: So that's what we're going to talk about in our
2:58
Speaker 1: first article. And in the second article, we're going to
3:01
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about that dumbass Joe Exotic
3:04
Speaker 1: of the Windsor family, Prince Andrew. But before we talk
3:08
Speaker 1: about his dumbass, let's dive into this CNN article and
3:12
Speaker 1: let's see what they have to say about Vance and
3:15
Speaker 1: his comments over the Democrats and the Epstein files. Headline
3:21
Speaker 1: Vance calls out Democrats over Epstein files, reignites push for transparency.
3:26
Speaker 1: The author of this article is Alejandra Jaramillo. Vice President J.D.
3:33
Speaker 1: Vance pushed back against criticism of the Trump administration's handling
3:37
Speaker 1: of the Jeffrey Epstein files, accusing Democrats of political opportunism
3:42
Speaker 1: and failing to act when they held power in an
3:44
Speaker 1: interview released on Sunday. Well, that's true. There's nothing incorrect
3:50
Speaker 1: about that. But what does that have to do with you, sir?
3:53
Speaker 1: What does that have to do with you being transparent?
3:57
Speaker 1: Don't give me that whataboutism. I'm going on what you
4:00
Speaker 1: told us, what you said on the campaign trail, what
4:03
Speaker 1: your boss said. That's what matters to me. So you
4:07
Speaker 1: can try and put blame on everybody else. But the
4:10
Speaker 1: truth is, if you want real accountability, you have to
4:14
Speaker 1: be accountable. And so far, the administration's failing every step
4:19
Speaker 1: of the way. when we're talking about Jeffrey Epstein. President
4:24
Speaker 1: Trump has demanded full transparency from this, and yet somehow
4:27
Speaker 1: the Democrats are attacking him, and not the Biden administration,
4:31
Speaker 1: which did nothing for four years. Vance told Fox News
4:34
Speaker 1: Sunday Morning Futures, defending the administration's approach to the unreleased documents.
4:39
Speaker 1: And here's another problem with this take. The Trump administration
4:43
Speaker 1: had the documents the first time around. They didn't release
4:46
Speaker 1: them either. So that question's easily turned back on J.D. Vance.
4:51
Speaker 1: Why didn't you release the documents during the first term?
4:56
Speaker 1: I laugh at the Democrats who are now all of
4:58
Speaker 1: a sudden so interested in the Epstein files. For four years,
5:01
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, the Democrats, did absolutely nothing about the story,
5:05
Speaker 1: Vance added. Breaking news, Vice President Vance. Nobody's done anything
5:10
Speaker 1: about the story going all the way back to the
5:12
Speaker 1: Clinton administration. And that includes you and 45. Nobody did shit.
5:18
Speaker 1: Epstein was arrested. and killed on your watch. No kind
5:23
Speaker 1: of real investigation took place. Then you have Bill Barr
5:26
Speaker 1: as the arbiter of truth. And you wonder why nobody
5:30
Speaker 1: believes anything you have to say. Look, I understand the
5:33
Speaker 1: message that J.D. Vance is trying to pass off here,
5:36
Speaker 1: but it's weak. The whole whataboutism stuff just doesn't work.
5:40
Speaker 1: Somebody has to step up and do the right thing.
5:43
Speaker 1: Somebody has to step up and be the hero. And
5:46
Speaker 1: we all know that wasn't going to be the Biden administration.
5:49
Speaker 1: I mean, let's get real. The Biden administration had Mr.
5:52
Speaker 1: Burns as the CIA director. And that dude had Jeffrey
5:56
Speaker 1: Epstein as his fucking life coach. So you want to
5:59
Speaker 1: talk about ties? What about Bill Richardson? There's plenty of
6:02
Speaker 1: blame to go around, like I always say. But real
6:05
Speaker 1: leadership starts with looking inward, right? What did we do wrong?
6:09
Speaker 1: How can we change things? How can I be better?
6:12
Speaker 1: But instead, we get more excuses about other people and
6:14
Speaker 1: what other people didn't do. Well, I was yelling and
6:17
Speaker 1: screaming about them, too. But now that you're in power,
6:20
Speaker 1: it's up to you to do the right thing. And
6:23
Speaker 1: if not, expect to be held accountable by people that
6:26
Speaker 1: actually care. Vance comments come amid renewed public pressure to
6:32
Speaker 1: unseal documents related to the Epstein case. After the Justice
6:36
Speaker 1: Department announced in a memo last month that there was
6:39
Speaker 1: no evidence the accused sex trafficker, the accused, you mean
6:43
Speaker 1: the convicted sex trafficker, the fuck do you mean accused,
6:46
Speaker 1: kept a client list, or that he was murdered. Well,
6:50
Speaker 1: I don't think he has a client list. I've said
6:51
Speaker 1: that from the jump. That was just more fodder for
6:54
Speaker 1: people to dig into. You want a client list? Why
6:58
Speaker 1: don't we take a look at the list that Brunel
7:00
Speaker 1: compiled over at MC Squared? After the Fox News interview aired,
7:06
Speaker 1: Clips advanced remarks gained traction across social media with users
7:11
Speaker 1: across the political spectrum posting, Release the Epstein files. Well, yeah,
7:16
Speaker 1: that's what people want. That's what was promised. And yet
7:19
Speaker 1: here we are with nothing to go on. Oh, we
7:23
Speaker 1: got some white binders and some stupid ass influencers that
7:26
Speaker 1: were carrying water for the administration. But besides that, we
7:30
Speaker 1: have nada. The vice president reiterated that full disclosure remains
7:35
Speaker 1: the goal of the administration. The president has said very clearly,
7:40
Speaker 1: because we've had other meetings about that, is that he
7:43
Speaker 1: wants us to be fully transparent, Vance said. So we're
7:46
Speaker 1: working to compile the thousands and thousands of documents that
7:49
Speaker 1: are out there for full transparency, he said. I thought
7:52
Speaker 1: there was no investigation. I thought the case was closed
7:54
Speaker 1: and that everything was a hoax. So why are you
7:56
Speaker 1: going after all these documents? What are you doing there, Mr.
7:59
Speaker 1: Vice President? I thought the case was closed and you
8:02
Speaker 1: weren't releasing anything else. The Justice Department told two federal
8:07
Speaker 1: judges Friday it wants to release grand jury exhibits in
8:10
Speaker 1: Epstein's case in addition to transcripts with appropriate redactions of
8:14
Speaker 1: victim's and other personal identifying information. However, it's unclear how
8:20
Speaker 1: much information in the grand jury transcripts and evidence is
8:23
Speaker 1: already not in the public sphere. My guess is the
8:26
Speaker 1: vast majority of it we've seen already. Now, of course,
8:29
Speaker 1: there's going to be stuff that we haven't seen, obviously,
8:32
Speaker 1: but it's not going to move the needle. Vance also
8:35
Speaker 1: denied that the Epstein files were subject of a meeting
8:38
Speaker 1: previously reported by CNN held at the White House last
8:41
Speaker 1: week between Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel,
8:46
Speaker 1: the Vice President, and others. We did meet at the
8:49
Speaker 1: White House, Vance said. We have a great FBI Director
8:52
Speaker 1: and a great Department of Justice lead, Attorney General Pam Bondi.
8:57
Speaker 1: And we met to talk about how to ensure we
8:59
Speaker 1: have justice for the American people. We actually didn't talk
9:03
Speaker 1: about the Epstein issue, Vance added. Oh, I'm sure nobody
9:06
Speaker 1: said a word about Jeffrey Epstein. Once again, these people,
9:10
Speaker 1: they really think you're stupid. because you'd have to be
9:12
Speaker 1: stupid to believe that all these minds of the administration
9:16
Speaker 1: got together and they weren't talking about what's going on
9:19
Speaker 1: with Jeffrey Epstein. Who the fuck believes that? Vance and
9:22
Speaker 1: his office denied on Wednesday that a meeting on Epstein
9:25
Speaker 1: was taking place, as CNN previously reported, but a source
9:29
Speaker 1: familiar with the logistics of the meeting said the attendees
9:32
Speaker 1: discussed a number of topics, including the Epstein case and
9:35
Speaker 1: potential next steps. The Trump administration officials are weighing whether
9:41
Speaker 1: to publish an audio recording and transcript of Blanche's recent
9:44
Speaker 1: conversation with Epstein accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, CNN previously reported. Meanwhile,
9:51
Speaker 1: the House Oversight Committee last week issued a dozen subpoenas
9:55
Speaker 1: to the Justice Department and high-profile Democratic and Republican figures
9:59
Speaker 1: for five and information related to Epstein. Alright, so obviously
10:04
Speaker 1: I don't believe that they didn't talk about Epstein. I'm
10:06
Speaker 1: sure that they did. And I think that the whole
10:09
Speaker 1: strategy here of trying to bring up other people is
10:13
Speaker 1: not going to work. Because you're the one in charge.
10:16
Speaker 1: You're the one with power of subpoena. You're the one
10:19
Speaker 1: in charge of the DOJ. You're the one that can
10:21
Speaker 1: make moves. And while I definitely want everybody outed, obviously,
10:26
Speaker 1: like I've been complaining about for the last six years,
10:29
Speaker 1: the buck has to stop with you. And when you're
10:31
Speaker 1: in charge, I don't want to hear about other people.
10:34
Speaker 1: I want to hear about what you're going to do
10:36
Speaker 1: and how you're going to stick to the word that
10:38
Speaker 1: you gave us on the campaign trail. So cool. Release
10:41
Speaker 1: everybody's name, Democrat, Republican, whoever it may be. But whatever
10:47
Speaker 1: you do, stop gaslighting the public. Because nobody's buying it. Alright,
10:52
Speaker 1: moving on to our second article. And this one is
10:55
Speaker 1: from The Mirror. And the headline. Prince Andrew too terrified
10:59
Speaker 1: to set foot back in America amid Epstein investigation. Sources claim.
11:04
Speaker 1: This article was authored by Christopher Buckton and Tatiana Christina. Well,
11:10
Speaker 1: I don't know why he'd be worried. Nobody's going to
11:12
Speaker 1: do shit about it. The investigation's over, right? Especially when
11:16
Speaker 1: it comes to a guy like Prince Andrew. Disgraced Prince
11:20
Speaker 1: Andrew will never set foot on U.S. soil again after
11:23
Speaker 1: lawmakers were pressed for him to provide testimony under oath
11:27
Speaker 1: about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, though he has not
11:31
Speaker 1: yet been subpoenaed. Yo, that would be a good move.
11:34
Speaker 1: All kidding aside, that's something that I'd be way down with.
11:38
Speaker 1: If anybody should be talked to, it should be the
11:41
Speaker 1: people that were closest to Epstein. How come Indyk and
11:44
Speaker 1: Khan weren't subpoenaed? How come Sarah Kellen Vickers wasn't subpoenaed?
11:49
Speaker 1: How come Leslie Groff wasn't subpoenaed? How about Adriana Ross
11:53
Speaker 1: or Nadia Marcinkova? I mean, the list goes on and on.
11:56
Speaker 1: So Prince Andrew's bitch ass should definitely have been on
12:00
Speaker 1: that list. The Duke of York, a.k.a. the Joe Exotic
12:05
Speaker 1: of the Windsor family, once branded Aramiles Andy for his
12:08
Speaker 1: relentless jet-set lifestyle, has not been to North America for
12:12
Speaker 1: more than a decade. Now, according to senior sources, he
12:16
Speaker 1: is too terrified to even contemplate the trip. Good. We
12:21
Speaker 1: got enough problems in America without the Prince of Punk
12:24
Speaker 1: asses showing up and making things worse. Stay where you are,
12:28
Speaker 1: play with the corgis, and shut the fuck up. Andrew's
12:32
Speaker 1: alleged fear of flying to the States came as he
12:34
Speaker 1: was portrayed as a serial sex addict and shameless abuser
12:38
Speaker 1: of privilege in an incendiary new biography that claims the
12:42
Speaker 1: Queen knew about his conduct and allowed it to happen. 1000%.
12:45
Speaker 1: I told you that years ago. You really think the
12:49
Speaker 1: Queen of England had no idea that her son was
12:52
Speaker 1: a sexual pest? Oh, she knew. She didn't care. The
12:57
Speaker 1: Prince of Haren hopes of ending his self-imposed exile briefly
13:01
Speaker 1: flickered last month when reports suggested the Queen's second son
13:05
Speaker 1: might risk a return traveling after the FBI shelved its
13:08
Speaker 1: probe into his ties to Epstein. But those plans have
13:13
Speaker 1: been obliterated by a fresh wave of anger after Donald
13:16
Speaker 1: Trump U-turned on his campaign promise. to release the files
13:19
Speaker 1: detailing Epstein's criminal activity, furious U.S. lawmakers have now issued
13:24
Speaker 1: subpoenas demanding the files and summoning those connected to the
13:28
Speaker 1: case to appear before Congress. Though Andrew has not yet
13:33
Speaker 1: been subpoenaed, calls have rapidly snowballed with lawyers, victims, and
13:37
Speaker 1: politicians insisting Andrew should volunteer to give sworn testimony, even
13:42
Speaker 1: though he cannot be legally compelled to do so. For
13:45
Speaker 1: the 65-year-old prince, the political climate across the Atlantic has
13:49
Speaker 1: turned toxic. Turned toxic? It always has been. This piece
13:53
Speaker 1: of human excrement has never met a scumbag that he
13:55
Speaker 1: didn't like. Whether it was an arms trafficker, human trafficker,
14:00
Speaker 1: Chinese spy, whatever it might be, Prince Andrew is possibly
14:03
Speaker 1: one of the stupidest people in the history of the world.
14:08
Speaker 1: One well-placed Washington insider told the Mirror, if Prince Andrew
14:12
Speaker 1: sets foot on U.S. soil again, he'll be met with
14:14
Speaker 1: an avalanche of political, legal, and media scrutiny. He knows it,
14:19
Speaker 1: and so does Buckingham Palace. The safest option for him
14:22
Speaker 1: is to stay put in Britain and hope the storm
14:24
Speaker 1: dies down, but it won't. No, it will not. As
14:28
Speaker 1: long as I have breath in my lungs, I'll be
14:30
Speaker 1: talking about bitch-ass Prince Andrew. The revived pressure follows years
14:35
Speaker 1: of controversy over Andrew's long friendship with Epstein, who was
14:39
Speaker 1: found dead in a New York jail cell in 2019
14:42
Speaker 1: while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Court documents and
14:46
Speaker 1: witness statements have repeatedly placed the royal in Epstein's orbit,
14:50
Speaker 1: including allegations which Andrew denies, from Virginia Roberts, that he
14:54
Speaker 1: sexually abused her when she was 17. What about the
14:57
Speaker 1: shooting party? What about the sleepover at Jeffrey Epstein's house?
15:03
Speaker 1: There's a lot more they could list. And that list
15:06
Speaker 1: is very long when it comes to Prince Andrew and
15:08
Speaker 1: his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. He eventually paid millions in
15:12
Speaker 1: an out-of-court settlement to end her U.S. civil case without
15:16
Speaker 1: admitting any wrongdoing. Yeah, because that's what innocent people do.
15:20
Speaker 1: People with resources, who are the son of the Queen
15:24
Speaker 1: of England, just settle cases because they're guilty and they
15:27
Speaker 1: want to move on with their lives. Anyone who believes
15:30
Speaker 1: that should have their voting rights taken away from them,
15:33
Speaker 1: because there's obviously competency issues. Trump's decision to block the
15:38
Speaker 1: Epstein file release has poured gas on the flames. Critics
15:42
Speaker 1: in Washington accuse the administration of seeing high-profile figures from embarrassment,
15:47
Speaker 1: a move that has hardened calls to drag every associate
15:51
Speaker 1: of the disgraced financier back into the spotlight. Even many
15:55
Speaker 1: of the president's staunchest MAGA supporters have broken ranks, decrying
15:59
Speaker 1: the U.S. leader's claims that the files are a hoax
16:02
Speaker 1: orchestrated by rival Democrats. Trump fails to mention how one
16:07
Speaker 1: of his most hated targets, Bill Clinton, who, like Trump,
16:10
Speaker 1: was closely associated with Epstein, was a Democratic president. For Andrew,
16:15
Speaker 1: the consequences could be stark. Senior diplomatic sources say the
16:19
Speaker 1: unofficial ban on travel may extend far beyond America, with
16:23
Speaker 1: some close allies of Washington unlikely to roll out the
16:26
Speaker 1: red carpet for a royal under such scrutiny. He's effectively
16:31
Speaker 1: a grounded duke, one insider said, behind palace walls. aides
16:35
Speaker 1: are understood to be advising the Prince to remain in
16:38
Speaker 1: the UK and avoid any appearance that could reignite public fury.
16:43
Speaker 1: But with Epstein's network still under the microscope in Washington
16:46
Speaker 1: and the possibility of new names being made public, Andrew's
16:50
Speaker 1: past associations are unlikely to vanish. No, they're not going to.
16:55
Speaker 1: Not until he does the right thing. Not until he
16:57
Speaker 1: talks to the authorities like he said he would. As
17:00
Speaker 1: the Washington source warned bluntly, America isn't safe for him.
17:04
Speaker 1: And with Epstein's shadow still looming, it may never be again.
17:07
Speaker 1: It comes as the rise of the fall of the
17:11
Speaker 1: House of York by author Andrew Lowney alleges the Duke
17:14
Speaker 1: slept with more than a thousand women, brought sex workers
17:17
Speaker 1: into Buckingham Palace, groped under dinner tables, and left soiled
17:21
Speaker 1: tissues for staff to collect. The book also accuses Andrew
17:27
Speaker 1: of using taxpayer-funded overseas trade trips for private business, accepting
17:31
Speaker 1: questionable gifts and loans from wealthy associates, and cultivating ties
17:35
Speaker 1: with Epstein. Lowney, who also said Andrew denied participating in
17:40
Speaker 1: this unauthorized biography, claims the late queen knew exactly what
17:44
Speaker 1: was going on and allowed it to happen, while King
17:47
Speaker 1: Charles and Prince William have long viewed Andrew's behavior more critically.
17:51
Speaker 1: The book also targets Sarah Ferguson, alleging extravagant spending and
17:56
Speaker 1: reliance on dubious benefactors. The Duke has been contacted for comment.
18:01
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew has consistently denied any misconduct related to Epstein,
18:07
Speaker 1: has not been accused of any crimes by law enforcement,
18:10
Speaker 1: and has never been identified of the subject of an investigation.
18:14
Speaker 1: But he was the person of interest. There was a
18:16
Speaker 1: time when Prince Andrew's bitch ass was a person of interest.
18:20
Speaker 1: But of course, nobody was ever going to talk to him.
18:23
Speaker 1: The Crown made sure of it, and I called that
18:25
Speaker 1: shit out at the time. There was no way in
18:27
Speaker 1: hell that they had no idea what was going on.
18:30
Speaker 1: The hope was that it would all go away and
18:32
Speaker 1: that the cowards in the legacy media would continue to
18:35
Speaker 1: protect him. But unfortunately for him, those gates have been
18:38
Speaker 1: crashed and the narrative destroyed. And that leaves us with
18:42
Speaker 1: the truth. And the truth is Prince Andrew's bitch ass
18:46
Speaker 1: deserves nothing but shame. All right, folks, that's going to
18:50
Speaker 1: do it for this one. All of the information that
18:52
Speaker 1: goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
