The World Moves Different For People Like Prince Andrew · The Vault: The Epstein Files

0:01
Speaker 1: On tonight's program. Obviously, we're going to continue talking about
0:05
the lawsuits settlement between Virginia Roberts and Prince Andrew. Now,
0:11
all of the terms are still unclear. There has been
0:14
reports out there. Some people were speculating when it first
0:17
broke that it would be about ten million dollars. I
0:20
said that was a little light. So today there are
0:23
reports out that are saying that the settlement is a
0:27
little bit more significant than that ten million dollar mark. Now,
0:32
I figured it would be around fourteen to seventeen million
0:35
American US dollars good coal, hard cash, and the reports
0:40
are coming out today and it's falling right around in
0:42
that range. It looks like. Now obviously the terms of
0:46
the deal are not disclosed as per the agreement, but
0:50
that is what the rumor mill is talking about, and
0:54
that is right around the number I would expect because
0:58
it would take something monstrous right to knock Virginia off
1:02
of her perch to come to the table and settle
1:06
with Prince Andrew. But you know that behind the scenes,
1:09
her people were negotiating with his people. It wasn't just
1:12
some kind of like standoff, right, That wasn't happening. That's
1:16
not how this works, and they came to agreement, an
1:20
agreement behind the scenes. Obviously that was acceptable to Virginia
1:25
and to her team. Now, Prince Andrew, he was in
1:29
a no good situation no matter how you chop it
1:32
at this point, and the fact that he pumped this
1:34
and pushed this for so long and dragged this out
1:38
did nothing but hurt him. And for all of the
1:41
money he was paying, all of those people over in
1:44
the UK blocks him and the rest of them, he
1:46
should ask for a refund because if it wasn't for
1:49
Brettler and the council he got from Lavely Singer Dudeen,
1:55
he'd have been sunk one hundred percent goose cooked because
1:58
the people who were advised him over in England obviously
2:02
do not know their ass from their elbow. I'm certainly
2:06
not a lawyer or a crisis evaluation manager, but I
2:10
know when you're not reading the temperature of the room,
2:13
have a little bit of common sense. And the way
2:15
the dude went about it was completely ridiculous. He is
2:22
really lucky that he had Bretler and hired Bretler to
2:26
step in, because at least he got his money's worth there.
2:30
Because the people over in England, the people in the
2:33
UK that were advising him, they absolutely derailed this dude. Now,
2:38
don't get me wrong, I'm sure he is his own
2:40
worst enemy, right he's the one that makes the final call.
2:44
But his advisors should have told him and been very
2:47
firm with him that this was a losing proposition from
2:50
the very beginning, and then to come out with the
2:54
whole entire scorched earth policy like he's Jengis Khan all
2:58
of a sudden is ridiculous going to win. So them
3:03
settling and him settling was the only option at this point.
3:08
But it is very harmful moving forward, for obviously him,
3:13
but for the whole Royal family. Make no mistake about that.
3:18
There was a point in time where something like this
3:21
was not even imaginable. It was unimaginable, right that the
3:25
Royal family, someone from the Royal family could be caught
3:27
up in a scandal such as this. But here we
3:30
are and they're being exposed. And really, folks, what it
3:33
comes down to is they're just regular people like the
3:37
rest of us. They're not special. What because they were
3:40
born in a certain bloodline, they're special. All of a sudden,
3:44
breaking news at the end of the day, the Kings,
3:48
the queens, and the ponds, well, we all go back
3:51
into the same box. And it's about time that these
3:55
people remembered that. And for Andrew, and for the whole
4:02
entire nonsensical charade he was putting on for this whole time,
4:06
he should be embarrassed. Honestly, he won't be, but he
4:09
should be dragging his mom through this, dragging the nation
4:13
through this, dragging the people of the UK through this.
4:17
And now, of course the question is going to be,
4:19
how's he going to pay for all of this? Obviously
4:22
the Queen's going to step in and throw him a
4:25
couple bucks. And we all know that the royal family
4:28
has a bunch of benefactors out there that would step
4:30
in in a second to pay this bill, to get
4:34
the spotlight, if you will, off of the Queen. So
4:38
I'm very interested to see how this goes down as
4:40
far as the payment, and I would hope that not
4:43
one single dollar of public money is used here, because
4:48
that would be something else. I mean, I can't even
4:51
imagine the uproar if tax dollars are used to pay
4:54
for a to settle a rape case for the Prince
4:57
of England, yeah, I think that cause quite the uh,
5:01
quite the Maelstrom. All right, So tonight we have an
5:06
article from the Independent and the author is Omid Scobie. Headline,
5:13
Prince Andrew did what only the privileged elite can do.
5:16
Everyone will suffer for it. And it's a fact, right,
5:19
none of us can pay to get our way out
5:20
of trouble. If you get into trouble, every single dollar
5:24
you have is going to go to your lawyers. I mean,
5:25
you're in America anyway. If you're paying for a lawyer,
5:29
you're going to be in quite the whole to start out.
5:32
Even so, we can't afford to, you know, pay people off.
5:37
But people like Prince Andrew, this is the lifeblood of
5:40
these disgusting sons of bitches. Back in October, Prince Andrew's
5:47
lawyers unleashed in an aggressive move usually only seen during
5:51
the heated final days of a US presidential election, and
5:55
appo dump, the technique usually performed by flailing policy titians
6:00
seeking to undermine their opponents as swiftly and brutally as possible,
6:04
is a classic, if all else fells move of releasing
6:08
information and igniting a narrative on an opponent to try
6:12
and discredit or weaken them. Sounds familiar, right, That's exactly
6:16
what Prince Andrew did. Him and his team. They unleashed
6:19
that scorched earth policy like I told you was coming.
6:22
How long have I been saying it? Because it was
6:24
all they had, right, and they painted themselves even deeper
6:29
into the corner if you could believe it. Their target
6:34
was the Prince's accuser, Virginia Roberts, and they hoped it
6:37
would result in her claim that the Duke of York
6:40
had sexually assaulted her three times at the age of
6:42
seventeen coming into doubt. See what they forgot, though, was
6:46
Virginia had been through all of this already. Do you
6:49
think that Prince Andrew is more shrewd than Jeffrey Epstein?
6:54
And as great as Brettler is over there at Lovely
6:57
and Singer, he's certainly not an under handed scuzball like Dershowitz.
7:03
So Virginia Roberts has been through the ringer already, dealing
7:05
with people like this, dealing with all sorts of allegations,
7:10
all sorts of people trying to demean her character, all
7:13
sorts of people dragging her name through the mud. You
7:16
think the Joe exotic of the Windsor family is going
7:20
to make her fear stepping up to the plate here,
7:24
It wasn't going to happen. And when they figured out
7:27
that they weren't going to be able to bully, that
7:29
the narrative that they were being certainly wasn't going to
7:32
be bought by the general public, they knew that it
7:35
was time to eject. Time to pull up a pin
7:39
and eject right out of this mofo, because this plane
7:42
is going down. And when your number one surrogate is
7:45
somebody who's out there talking about all kinds of weird
7:47
conspiracy theories as it is Lady Victoria Hervey, then you
7:51
know you're in big trouble. She was. Andrew's lawyers described
8:01
a payday chasing attention seeker that the Prince had never
8:04
even met. Her lawsuit, they said was completely baseless. Pretty funny, huh,
8:09
that's what he was asserting. Now, fast forward to today
8:13
and he's in the hole for about, oh, I don't know,
8:16
fourteen seventeen million dollars, looking like an absolute asshole, because remember,
8:21
innocent people aren't paying not this kind of money. Innocent
8:25
people don't do and act the way Prince Andrew acted,
8:31
nobody's got nobody who's innocent is doing that. And now
8:36
with all of that nonsense he put in that letter,
8:39
even just recently, he never met her. It was completely baseless.
8:43
All of a sudden, you're ponying up all this money. Huh,
8:46
sure looks real good. So it came as somewhat of
8:50
a surprise to see just one hundred and nine days
8:53
later the Queen's son tail between his legs, stating that
8:56
he had never intended to malign Miss Roberts's character and
9:00
that he accepts she has suffered as a victim of abuse.
9:03
Oh isn't that nice? The good old Prince, the hugger
9:08
of widows, the friend to orphans, the man of the people,
9:16
is going to accept that she has suffered abuse as
9:20
a victim. I mean, really, we can all just stop
9:24
our lives now because Prince Andrew has decided to accept reality.
9:32
More importantly, the Duke's words were delivered alongside an out
9:35
of court settlement just shy of twelve million pounds. Okay,
9:39
so there you go. In this article, it's talking about
9:42
that twelve million pound mark two and that would not
9:44
get into that range. The fourteen seventeen. It came with
9:48
no further denial or admission to Robert's claims, just the
9:51
meek promise of supporting the fight against the evils of
9:54
sex trafficking. Yeah, I don't. You're not welcomed, honestly, guy
9:59
like that that has no business acting as an advocate
10:02
for sex trafficking victims. Are you kidding me? Right now?
10:06
This dude needs to go and retire on whatever piece
10:09
of land that his family deems proper for him to
10:13
have and have zero to do with the public ever again,
10:16
for as long as he lives. The mountain of cash,
10:25
a significant portion of which came from the Bank of
10:27
Mummy Dearest to be donated to Robert's anti sex trafficking charity,
10:31
was so high the accuser couldn't possibly say no. And
10:35
that's what they did, right. It came down to the
10:39
Prince and his team having to throw a boatload of
10:42
money at Virginia. And that's really the result that you're
10:46
looking for in a settlement, right, what's the purpose of
10:48
bringing a lawsuit against somebody if you're not looking for
10:52
damages to be paid at the end. And if you're
10:55
going to get damages paid, you have to make sure
10:58
it really rocks them right, make sure it hurts them
11:00
in the pocketbook, And this kind of claim and this
11:05
kind of payout certainly does that. Obviously, it takes away
11:09
a bit of the sting when you're already stinking rich
11:12
and you have Mummy Darius showing up to help pay
11:15
the bills. But still it's a real bad look for
11:18
Prince Andrew, and it validates everything Virginia had to say
11:21
about this. Dude, you mean to tell me you're paying
11:25
out all this money, suffering all of this shame if
11:27
you didn't do anything stop it. I don't believe that
11:32
over ninety percent of civil cases filed in US federal
11:35
court result in a settlement, so it was almost inevitable
11:39
that Robert's lawsuit would boil down to a pre trial payout.
11:42
Fact always figured that this was something that could happen. Right,
11:46
if the number was monstrous, and Prince Andrew would be
11:50
willing to meet them at a place that is Everest High,
11:54
then certainly this would be the outcome. But I always
11:58
was wondering if Andrew would be able to come up
12:00
with those kind of finances. Where's he getting all that money? Unless,
12:04
of course Mummy is stepping in, and we know that
12:06
to be the case now, but given out furiously, Andrew
12:11
had denied the allegations. It was a curious move to
12:14
settle with a woman. His staff at once briefed the
12:16
journalists as having doctored a photo of the two together
12:20
just to make her story more convincing. Yeah, sounds about right. Huh,
12:25
That's exactly what he did. Him and his team tried
12:28
to paint it like Virginia's out here working for Adobe Photoshop,
12:32
like Virginia created Adobe Photoshop, and then the insanity to
12:36
drag other survivors into it, talking about this one's emailing
12:40
this one. What an absolute ridiculous narrative his surrogates were pitching.
12:45
I mean, we're talking q Ann level bullshit, folks, the
12:49
kind of stuff that Alex Jones will look at and say, oh, listen,
12:52
Cursy's dirt. Andrew was less than four weeks away from
12:58
a deposition with Robert's low layers. Didn't you want to
13:01
use that moment to fight for his innocence, a final
13:04
chance to prove he didn't do the heinous things he
13:06
had been accused of. I know, if faced with the
13:09
same predicament, I would, and the author is not wrong.
13:12
How long have I been saying that real men don't
13:15
run from shit like this. Real men step up to
13:17
the plate and they deal with the issues, and if
13:20
they caused mayhem, and they've caused a mess, they clean
13:22
it up. But Prince Andrew isn't a real man. Real
13:26
men don't have the hired help come running up the
13:28
stairs to fix the curtains. Real men don't make the
13:32
kind of comments he made to those massage therapists. That's
13:35
somebody's mother, somebody's daughter, somebody's wife, and you're out here
13:38
running your fat, stupid mouth like you're a tough guy.
13:41
That's the kind of shit that gets you that three
13:44
piece combo with a soda where I'm from. While much
13:48
of the media coverage has focused around Andrew's statement, a
13:52
sympathetic narrative is already starting to emerge from the boot
13:55
liquors of the Royal Press Corps and its orbit of
13:58
commentators had attempts to explain Andrew's decision not to clear
14:02
his name because he shivals chival chival It shiver chivalrously
14:08
wanted to prioritize protecting the Royal institution and his ninety
14:12
five year old mother from the further shame. Oh yeah,
14:15
that's exactly what it is. He's just so so magnanimous,
14:20
such a chival chivalrous guy, that he's going to get
14:22
out here and he wants to protect mom's name. So
14:25
he's stepping up to the plate. Now here's an idea.
14:29
Why didn't you do that in the beginning. Why didn't
14:31
you step up to the plate in the very beginning
14:33
and say, hey, look, this is my part in this.
14:36
I was around Jeffrey Epstein, I had no idea these
14:39
were underage girls, and I want to help the investigation.
14:43
And still to this day, let's remember, he has not
14:45
helped the investigation one single bit, not at all. The
14:52
quick settlement, royal sources have added, has been a huge
14:55
relief for the family. With the platinum jew Beleieze so close,
14:59
how hard it must have been for them. Oh imagine
15:02
the difficulty of all of this as they swim around
15:07
in their money wearing the crown jewels of the royal family.
15:10
You know, is that difficulty The people who were abused
15:13
by Jeffrey Epstein, those people, they've had a difficult life.
15:16
Not Prince Andrew, not any of these people. Again, I
15:20
have zero empathy for any of these people who were
15:23
born into great privilege, great wealth and squandered it on
15:27
bullshit hanging out with people like Jeffrey Epstein and Galainne Maxwell.
15:33
The thing is, no matter how you try to polish it,
15:35
there's no way to hide the fact that HRH less
15:38
Andrew continues to swan around, taking no responsibility for his behavior.
15:44
Taxpayer funded security team still at his beck and call,
15:47
and how is that even right? And I try not
15:50
to get too involved in any of that. Obviously I'm
15:52
not a subject of the Queen or a citizen of
15:57
the UK, but I find it ridiculous that this guy
16:01
is using public money to have a security detail. Hire
16:05
your own security detail, Bro, You're charged with all kinds
16:08
of disgusting allegations. But the dude who moved to America
16:12
in his chick they got to pay for their own security.
16:15
So leaving the royal family is more of a sin
16:18
than being involved with Jeffrey Epstein. Huh, that's the message
16:21
you want to show. While we are unlikely to hear
16:26
Roberts speak about the civil case for the foreseeable future,
16:30
flicking away her claims with his gilded checkbook won't change
16:34
the very real fact that the royal enjoyed and invested
16:37
in close friendships with two sex traffickers who destroyed the
16:41
innocent lives of Roberts and countless other children and women
16:46
in the hundreds. That's this dude's legacy. That's the legacy
16:50
he's going to leave, a legacy of absolute embarrassment for
16:57
the whole entire family. It also doesn't change the fact
17:03
that even after Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty for procuring persons
17:07
under eighteen for prostitution, Andrew saw no problem in returning
17:11
to the pedophile billionaires New York home in twenty and
17:15
ten to hang out and allegedly receive foot massages from
17:19
models of a similar age to his two daughters. And again,
17:23
it just goes to show you the kind of guy
17:25
we're dealing with. He has no shame, no moral compass.
17:28
He's been given everything his whole life totally. Everyone around
17:32
him has been a yes man or a yes woman,
17:34
and he's never known any sort of repercussions when he's
17:38
fucked up. You think this dude is getting grounded. I know,
17:42
when I was younger, if I got out of line,
17:45
and I swerved out of the lane. Forget it. Forget it,
17:49
zero chance that it was happening again. This dude, he
17:52
just feels like he can do whatever he wants, and
17:55
finally he's getting some repercussions. Finally he is going to
17:59
have to at the very least suffer and go down
18:04
in history as somebody who settled a sexual assault case
18:09
as opposed to try and clear his name. If Andrew
18:15
really cared about rape survivors, like his statement claims, there
18:19
also wouldn't still be a material witness warrant for him
18:22
in the US more than two years since he promised
18:25
to speak to the FBI about Epstein. How long have
18:29
we been talking about that here on the podcast? And
18:31
when I say me, all of us, everybody who's following
18:35
this case, it's been a huge point of contention. If
18:38
you really want to help, and you're this guy who's
18:40
gonna be doing the honorable thing, step up to the plate,
18:45
talk to the FBI, do the right thing. The dark
18:49
legal clouds that Andrew's mess threatened to cast over celebrations
18:53
for the Queen's Jubilee may be passing, but as the
18:56
funds for Robert's payout are prepared to transfer. The Royal
19:00
family is not shining bright. No, they're glowing, all right,
19:04
They're glowing with nuclear fallout. It's like Fukushima over there
19:07
at Buckingham Palace right now. Though it's understandable that a
19:12
parent may want to help a desperate and often broke
19:15
son in need, Andrew convincing our head of state to
19:18
privately cover close to half of the settlements some in
19:21
a civil rape case has resulted in a stain on
19:24
his mother's legacy in one of the most defining years
19:28
of her seven decade reign. Yikes, that's pretty powerful stuff
19:32
here from the author, and it's not wrong. Imagine if
19:37
you were the queen and you had this dunce of
19:39
a son ruining this for you. I don't I mean unbelievable.
19:45
And again it cracks me up that people close to
19:49
the queen or monarchists or whatever are so worried about
19:53
the stain it's going to hang over the jubilee celebration.
19:56
Well what about the stain hanging over those survivors' lives
19:59
for the rest of their lives. Guess what, There's no
20:02
jubilee celebration for them. It also raises the question that
20:09
if there's so much disposable private wealth hidden behind palace walls,
20:13
why should people of this country, many of whom are
20:16
struggling to heat their homes this winter, continue to dish
20:19
out an annual contribution to the royal establishment. Good question,
20:23
I mean, you got people starving in the streets. I'm
20:26
sure it's going the same over in England. Meanwhile, the
20:29
Queen is shelling out dough to help Prince Andrew quash
20:35
a rape case. It is absolutely absurd. With the Sussex
20:45
Sussex is gone, and Andrew permanently benched. There are fewer
20:49
working Royals than ever, Yet the sovereign grant that funds
20:53
the royal family continues to grow year on year. So
20:57
even as the royal family shrinks, the bank accounts grow. Huh,
21:00
must be nice they continue to get rich while the
21:03
rest of us get poor. Seems about right. The bunting
21:08
in street parties this June will serve as a nice distraction,
21:11
but at a time when the value and purpose of
21:14
the monarchy post Queen Elizabeth is coming under growing scrutiny
21:17
by the public. This, unlike Andrew's problems, won't be a
21:21
problem that can be silenced with money, and it's a
21:25
fact this is going to hang over the royal family
21:28
for quite some time, folks, And I don't know if
21:31
this stain will ever go away. Once the Queen is
21:36
gone and she passes on the scepter of rule to
21:40
her son, are the people going to be as willing
21:43
to accept nonsense from the royal family. I think a
21:47
lot of the sentiment that you see from some people
21:50
is specific to the queen and it has nothing to
21:53
do with the royals overall. And when she's gone and
21:56
her son is in control, I think it's going to
21:59
be real tough sledding for the monarchy moving forward. And
22:03
if you take a look at how the other royal
22:05
families around Europe have been pared down or done away
22:09
with overall, you can see the writing on the wall
22:12
for the English monarchy as well. So it's going to
22:15
be interesting to see how that all breaks, you know,
22:18
in the coming years and weeks or whatever. But it's
22:22
certainly showing that there are serious problems and the public
22:27
is not going to stand for it. The fact that
22:31
Prince Andrew was able to avoid scrutiny for so long
22:37
is something that is really just a gigantic stain on
22:41
not only him but the Queen because she enabled that right,
22:44
she could have forced the issue a long time ago,
22:46
so we have to remember that as well. But here
22:50
we are finally to a point where Prince Andrew is
